Nikki started to tell her story about Duke in her hotel room to Hawkeye, and Metal Gloss.
A few days ago in Ogden Utah, Michael had a job for Roger, and Duke.
Michael: A big passenger train is expected. I need you two to get two engines, and twenty passenger cars into this station quickly. The train will be heading for Winnemuca Neighvada. It's the first time for the both of you that you use the Overland Route to get there, so work together as a team.
Duke: I shall put my engine in front.
Roger: No, I'll use the front engine. How am I supposed to learn how to drive trains on this route if you're driving the front engine, blocking my view?
Duke: Suit yourself, but never mind the view. Pay attention to anything in front of you. If we get our train derailed, we'll have many angry ponies to deal with.
Roger: Yeah, whatever. Let's get the train set up.
So Roger, and Duke both got in a diesel, and collected twenty passenger cars for the trip. Then, they got to the station. They got both of their engines on the front of the train.
Duke: *Using radio to talk to Roger* How does it feel Steven?
Roger: Don't call me that. What do you mean by how does it feel?
Duke: How does it feel to be working with me again?
Roger: I'm glad you're back, but I was hoping you wouldn't be up my rear end for this trip about driving the front engine.
Duke: I'm just giving you advice.
Roger: Yeah, I've heard that before.
Duke: Forgive me for asking, but did you rescue me for nothing?
Roger: It wasn't for nothing.
Duke: Then, what was it for?
Roger: Me, and Anthony were lonely.
Conductor: All aboard!
Roger: *Blows horn twice, then rings bell on engine*
Signal Pony: *Turns signal green*
Roger: *Drives train forward*
Duke: Wunderbar. You did a perfect start there.
Roger: Yep. I'm surprised you actually know how to use a radio.
Duke: I may be old, but I'm not gonna let technology stop me from doing my job. Anyway, we should only talk to each other on this thing for emergencies.
Roger: Hey, you started the conversation, I was just playing along.
Duke: I bet you're not even looking in front of you.
Roger: I am, relax.
So the two stallions stopped their conversation, and continued heading westbound for Winnemuca Neighvada.

But I had to go to my training. I was Luna's apprentice now and I was taking her class at Celestia's school for Gifted Ponies. I had to learn all I could. I put on my socks and my silver necklace I turned blue. I tried my best to brush my mane. I walked out of the room. I grabbed my bag and slid it on my back.
I thought to myself when I got to the school and saw the pretty alicorns walking in laughing with each other and making fun of unicorn, pegasuses, and earth ponies walking by them.
Then I thought to myself "I'm a unicorn, I'm
Moon Dust"
