[Around the village, people are sure to find strange posters getting taped onto buildings, houses, businesses, trees, anywhere where people can't see 'em. Oh, and they're appearing at a rapid rate, as a rainbow streak zips around through the air, occasionally swooping down just long enough to put up more posters. These posters say:

"Tired of people staring because you look a little different? Hate when hue-mans freak out because you can talk?

If you're feeling lost and confused, like you're the only one of you around, then join the Standout Crowd, Luceti's super awesome club for non hue-mans!

First meeting's on Saturday the 16th, over at the Battle Dome! Hope to see you there!

P.S. If you've got questions, just ask Rainbow Dash. Rainbow pony, flies real fast. Can't miss her!"

And indeed, she will keep hanging around for a bit, stopping near poster sites to see how people react.

Later, she'll address the journal...]

So, we all come from different worlds, some that're totally different from the rest. One thing I've noticed is that people still tend to act all confused when I tell 'em that Equestria has no hue-mans. Is it really such a crazy thing to grasp? I mean, it can't be any stranger than the crazy experiments the Malnosso put us through.

I guess what I wanna know is what you guys think of things that are totally different from your idea of "normal". Like 'em, hate 'em? Luceti's definitely good at shaking things up.

Well, okay. I guess that makes sense.

[After all, being a huge dragon does make him stand out.]

But I don't think I've ever seen a dragon pull that off before.

[Granted, her experience with 'em is mostly limited to... Spike. And he acts more like a pony than a dragon.]

[action]

[merelychewed]

And have you met very many dragons?

[action]

[wannabolt]

Well, I've met two.

[Translation: No, she has not.]

But one of 'em hangs around Ponyville all the time.

[Except baby dragons probably don't count.]

[action]

[merelychewed]

Then you might not know as much about dragons as you think.

[It's all good-natured teasing, really!]

I take it Ponyville is where you live. [Since, hello, ponies.] Why would a dragon be living around such a place?

[action]

[wannabolt]

Well, he was kinda raised by ponies. I don't know all the details, but I know he's been hanging with my pal Twilight since she first came to town.

[Then again, when Spike tried going to hang with other dragons, it didn't end well. Not that she knows that, being from season 1.]

[action]

[merelychewed]

If that's so, wouldn't he be prone to acting more like a pony than a dragon?

[Poor dragon, though. Raised by colorful little ponies? That seemed a strange place to end up in.]

But from what I have heard, every world has very different dragons from my own, so perhaps there aren't any in yours that can do what I do.

[action]

[wannabolt]

... Okay, you've got a point. On both counts.

[Heh, heh.]

Spike's like the total opposite of the other dragon I've seen. Sure he eats gems, but other than that, he acts just like any other pony.

[action]

[merelychewed]

He... eats gems?

[Okay, that's a new one.]
