"Magic Star!"
Tex couldn't believe
it. Tonight, in his favorite chat room, was a pony from his own herd!
What were the chances? He eagerly said hello to Magic Star:
Tex: howdy
magic star! did you try any of peachy's new cobbler today?
Magic
Star: what?
Tex:
oh
man, you really are in an oblivion, aren't you! The wacko peach cobbler,
Silly!
Magic
Star: silly?! who are you, anyway? you're not very nice so far.
That goofy Magic
Star, thought Tex with a smirk. Such a weird sense of humor!
He quickly realized, however, that she was not as amused as he.
Magic
Star: look, i don't really like being picked on by total strangers.
please change the subject.
Is she really upset?
thought Tex, puzzled. She sounds like she genuinely doesn't know
me!
Tex: hey,
i'm sorry. do you *really* not know who i am?
Magic
Star: no. sorry!
Tex:
that's funny. i'm so sorry! there's a So-Soft magic star in
my herd. i thought you were her.
Magic
Star: i've heard of her--in fact, you are not the first to make the
mistake! sorry if i jumped on you. i should have guessed that's who you
thought you were talking to :0)
Tex was ever so painfully
embarrassed about his mistake, and didn't really know what to say at that
point. Although it was what he was thinking, he felt it would be
stupid for someone to post "I'm sorry" one more time. However, the
"other Magic Star" seemed very nice, and soon set him at ease. Tex
spend the next half hour getting to know her.
