*That has happened, but Selphie is pretty sure that Sanji is just crazy, or something like that*

Stallion! That's the word! You need one of those! A knight to whisk you off your - uh, hooves...

*She pauses in her excitement, though, and pouts a little*

Impossible? But why?

[letteropener]

I am a princess, and a ruler of Equestria. I have been around since long before any stallion alive today was born, and will be around long after they die. I am a legend, an abstract, like the sun I raise, not a mare.

[She says this all very serenely, calmly.]

[booyaka_boom]

Ohh!

*Selphie smiles, but princesses aren't historically known to be her favourite kind of person. At least, not at first. Still, she gives a little bow of her head*

Wow... so you're like, a pony kind of phoenix?

*Just trying to make sense of immortality here*

[letteropener]

I don't die and rebirth in flames, I'm afraid. And phoenixes are quite separate beings. My pet Philomeena is one, as it happens. [Which brings a fond smile to Celestia's face at the memory.]

[booyaka_boom]

A phoenix...as a pet?

*Selphie takes her time to think over that carefully. As a concept, she finds it highly amusing, and slowly begins to laugh, quietly at first, then much louder*

Oh wow. A phoenix as a pet. I have one too, ya know.

[letteropener]

Oh? Do you mean here, or back where you came from?

[If for no other reason, that's surprising just because of how much of a hoofful a phoenix can be.]

[booyaka_boom]

Nopes! I found him here, and decided to keep him as a pet. I'm sure he doesn't really mind, thought.

*Selphie smiles brightly, suggesting some secret hidden amusement. Ikki would probably be far from pleased to hear that Selphie had been referring to him as a pet*

[letteropener]

Phoenixes are very capable of making disapproval clear, if they feel it. But they are also, in my experience, wise and patient creatures... if mischievous.

[Because Philomeena certainly couldn't have picked up that trait from Celestia herself.]

[booyaka_boom]

Ha!

*Aware of her outburst, she quickly covers her mouth with a hand*

I just mean... well, yeah, he makes that pretty obvious sometimes. I'm just not so sure about the patient part...

*Or maybe the problem was that he had too much patience, and she didn't have enough*

[letteropener]

Just because they are patient, does not mean they can't choose to act otherwise. But I promise you, the cycle of death and rebirth goes a long way towards fostering a unique perspective on life.

[booyaka_boom]

*Selphie smiles at the first part of that comment, then frowns very slightly at the next part*

I know. I could probably do with a little bit of patience myself when it comes to the death ans rebirth part...

*Never one to remain bothered by her problems for too long, she smiles brighter than before*

But he's a good pet, even with all that stuff!

[letteropener]

I wonder if he is native, or has been brought here as the rest of us were.

[Celestia has not yet caught on to what is really going on her, lacking the information to do so. But she has stumbled slightly closer.]

[booyaka_boom]

*Selphie grins and slowly shakes her head*

Nopes. Not a native. He came from... Well, I dunno, somewhere else. But not here.

[letteropener]

Curious, but not surprising. If humans and ponies could come here, why not phoenixes, or dragons, or zebras...

[booyaka_boom]

*That was a very good point that Celestia just made, and Selphie nods her head in approval. Guess a phoenix isn't so weird after all*

Ooh! A dragon! Really? That'd be awesome! I wanna see a dragon!

*Because zebra? Not quite as exciting*

[letteropener]

At least one of the islands here has dragons on it. Native dragons, of course, but nevertheless, I am certain you could persuade your captain to take you there.

[booyaka_boom]

*That certainly seems to spark her interest, and she totters slightly on her heels as she forgets to focus on standing still*

There is? Really? Like real dragons? With scales? And wings? And fire?

*With each thing that she lists, it seems that her eyes are getting wider and wider*

[letteropener]

I haven't seen them myself, but I know others have claimed to see them, and I have no reason to believe they lied.

[She can't attest to their anatomical features, but dragons... are dragons, with very few exceptions!]

[booyaka_boom]

Wow! Do you know what island? I bet I could get our crew to sail there! Our crew seem to have a lot of stuff going on with fire. And dragons are fire, so that means they'd have to like it!

[letteropener]

I'm afraid I don't remember which one, but if you asked, I'm certain somepony could tell you.

[booyaka_boom]

I totally will! Thanks for the suggestion!

*She wobbles a little on her heels, excited at the prospect of dragons*
