"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.
