(Warning: a whole lot of burbling ahead. Feel free to skip right to the pictures. :P )
I haven't bought a pony online in four years... And now it was time again! :D There's obviously no Kingsday fleamarket this year, and that's usually the pony highlight of the year for me. So I decided to make my own Kingsday. :P Also, this strange, quiet (and pleasant, for me personally :ninja: ) time reminds me of '08 and '09, when I was sick very often and cheered myself up with adding ponies to my collection. And I could use a trip to the past right now!
So I bought these lovely ponies from Nella. ^.^ Pristina has been a grail of mine for as long as I can remember... It all started when I was about 8 and we (my mother and I) discovered a little second hand toy store in my area. They had so many ponies, but they were also quite pricey. They were 7,50 each (in guilders, for those who remember the value of those), and that was a lot of money for us at the time. So everytime we went there I could pick two ponies, but they were on a really high shelf, so I couldn't see very well which ponies were there. The shelf was also right across the cash register, and the lady behind the counter made me very nervous, so I had to pick my ponies quickly. I was eyeballing an aqua pony with chartreuse hair... But everything went so fast, and I picked a different pony. When we came back another time the aqua/chartreuse pony was gone... I didn't know who she was, but when I discovered Dream Valley and the Arena in 2007, the mystery was solved. Her name was Princess Pristina, and she became a grail of mine. And now she is standing right here in front of me. :D :heart:
Majesty was a childhood pony, she was a pony I did get from that second hand store. :P I was so excited back then because I loved Majesty so much in the comics, and I didnt know they actually made her! Good times. And now I have her again, don't you just love her friendly face? :D
And Starburst/Amber got to live here just because she's pretty and because I'm a sucker for Princess ponies. :P
Here they are!

Oh Pristina's hair looks fab, it's in such nice shape! Congrats!
It's a great ending that you managed to add her to your collection after all this time, especially when you decided you wanted her so long ago, but picked another pony, and then she was gone when you went back. Talk about heart break!
But she's yours now! Enjoy! :)
