Emerald decides to grab an orb from up near the top of the shelf. Being quite small himself, the pair take a small detour and pick up a ladder from the library to get it down.

Putting the orb in place, the light between the portal shimmers on and Emerald shows Ruby how to enter.

As they approach Emerald notices that it's a living room. It's furnished quite cozily, and out the window Emerald can spot snow as well as some pine trees.

They step through and are instantly between an argument two ponies are having, one of which Emerald recognizes.

The other is a tall, pretty mare dressed in some tight leather clothes. She looks... Somehow familiar, but Emerald can't place why.

"You can't be serious. For a stallion. You are giving this all up for a stupid stallion? You?" Joyride says pleadingly to the mare.

"Yes Joyride, I thought I had made that quite clear." The pony says, calmly, but still slightly sad, "We both knew this couldn't go on forever but... Well, I think it is happening much sooner than either of us expected."

"But it CAN go on forever! I'm offering you immortality Sunshine!" Joyride says, dashing forward and stepping between Sunshine and the door.

"But there are downsides to it. Downsides that I can't in good conscience accept. Especially not now." Sunshine says, sitting down gracefully and looking at the unicorn.

"Especially not... Wait... Are you pregnant? How did you... But... That's impossible! How could my- Wait, you WANTED to get pregnant didn't you?" Joyride says, clutching her head, her eyes flickering back and forth with sudden realizations.

Sunshine steps slowly towards the unicorn and hugs her, and Joyride reciprocates.

"I don't hate you, and I hope that you do not hate me." Sunshine says.

Joyride starts crying.

Emerald feels a little awkward about being here. He did want to learn more about Joyride but... But this seems almost a bit too personal.

What does Emerald do?
