As you ponder the question of your favourite food, the sight of pizza inspires you. You decide to ask for pineapple pizza.
Apple Basket: "Pineapple pizza? Heh. I think you'd get along with Uncle Sugarloaf. As for me, I reckon I'm a simple pony. I'll just have one of those fine-lookin' apple pies."
Autumn Skies: "My daughter is baking those, so you won't be disappointed! And for you, Moonflower?"
You notice that Moonflower is lost in thought while staring straight at Apple Basket.
Moonflower: "Heehee... Oh! Uh, I dunno! There's lots'a stuff here I never tried before. Maybe I haven't even found my favourite yet!"
Autumn Skies: "In that case, now's the time to try as many things as you can! There's also snacks being sold at the games and prizes booths, so make sure to try those out as well — the candy apples are a favourite of mine.
Now, enjoy yourselves! I'll be back in a few minutes with your pizza."
You thank Autumn Skies, then each grab a tray, and join the unicorn sisters on their food gathering. Before long, you've filled your own tray with a little bit of everything, while making sure to save some room for your pizza.
Once everypony is satisfied with their admittedly large selections, you all sit down together at a vacant picnic table, and eagerly begin to eat. To your delight, everything tastes just as good as it looks, with an extra touch of home cooking.
A few minutes into your breakfast, the most appetizing pizza you've ever seen arrives: a fluffy golden crust, generous layers of tomato sauce and melted cheeses, and the perfect amount of grilled pineapple pieces on top.
Autumn Skies: "Here you go. Dig in!"
You thank Autumn Skies once more, and bite into your first slice. As the swirl of sweet and savoury tastes fill your mouth, foalhood memories come flooding back. You find yourself on a field trip to a seaside pineapple farm, during a time when days were longer, and the world stretched beyond your wildest dreams.
Moonflower: "Mmh! 'Hish ish shuper tashty!"
You nod, the flavour being exactly as you remember it. Satisfied with the smile plastered on your face, the cook returns to her station, while you and your friends continue to enjoy as much food as your stomachs will allow.
You feel stuffed. Phew!

- Start looking for Tattle Tail; if there are juicy rumors and goings-on we want to hear about them sooner rather than later. Trot back towards the stage (under the assumption that she'll be in the crowd and 'cause we need to ask Windcaller when he's performing), ask the ponies we trot by if they've seen her, and have Moonflower fly above to spot. If Moondancer and Dawn Break are with us, maybe they know some helpful spells?
- Trailblazer's expression shows that she's found her true love: not Honourshine, but pineapple pizza.
- I like how this update touches on Trailblazer's foalhood memories/backstory. Also, Equestria really is a utopia if the orphans are well cared for.
- I hope people find the list of things we might be interested in today to be useful.
Defiantly agree that we should try to visit the animal farm and do the farrier workshop because that’s what Moonflower and Apple Basket want to do. The boat race also sounds fun and it’s another opportunity to chat with Crystal Charm. Would be great if we could do the Carpenter's Workshop and Enchanter’s Workshop to have our own boat & gem but not sure if we have enough time for it. Personally, I also want to have Trailblazer go through the Obstacle Course. Oh, and watching Windcaller play on stage would be great, too.
So many interesting choices but so less time. That said I don’t mind if none of these things get picked because most option will lead to interesting stuff. Unless someone puts in a command about how now would be the perfect time for Trailblazer to take a long nap. XD
To quote Fluttershy, that's "not a bad problem to have". :)
I've had this thought too; it reminds me of Twitch Plays Pokemon where accessing some menus is legitimately dangerous because your best Pokemon can randomly be released. It's unlikely to affect the game much because no one even leaves commands like that. I mean, the one self-styled chaos command I remember seeing was actually interesting. And I'm sure there's still a lot the Quest Master can do with "take a nap". For example, have Trailblazer be unable to fall asleep, have it only take 15 minutes, and/or have it count as meditating instead. And that's not counting things that would advance the plot, really creative solutions, or even the whole update being "are you sure". If we get some kind of strong sedative in our inventory though...
I remember seeing a few of them way back when Trailblazer and Co. came back to Amblerta. Most of them were pretty interesting, although I wasn't a fan of the one that suggests to leave the money we earned behind for apparent reason.
