"But I can be! I can sense demons when I get close enough! If there is one in the gem that you were talking about then I would be able to tell! We'd have to get sort of close though… Too much interference in the city!" Pip says, throwing her forehooves up and sighing.
Emerald asks what she means by interference.
"You know, other demons and stuff! Lot's of'em!" Pip says happily.
"There are lot's of you guys around?" Ruby says, pointing with wide eyes.
"Less common than you would think, more common than you would want. It doesn't help that this city is huge and has lot's of ponies full of ambition and lust for power." Joyride says, shrugging in the same manner as Pip, "If you go you have to promise to be good, alright?"
"Alright!" Pip says with a toothy smile.
"W-wait!" Ruby says, throwing a hoof up, "This wouldn't work. We'd look too suspicious with a pony floating out of a book."
"I got that covered!" Pip says. She then suddenly engulfs herself in bright blue flames, and when they die down there sits a pony. Or at least something that sort of looks like one.
"Well, what do you think? I've been practicing!" Pip says with a pose.
