The train had just arrived at Ponyville, Wires grabbed her belongings and walked off in an attempt to find her new home. Wires legs were slightly cramped from the three hour train ride from Las Peagsus to Ponyville. Wires really enjoyed living in Las Pegasus, but she wanted to start a new life and her new business. Staring at the same walls for twenty years isn't exactly fun in her mind.
Slipping away from her deep thoughts of the new life she had begun, Wires noticed that the sun was going down. She didn't want to be out in the dark in a new town. Frightened that she would be caught in the dark, Wires began to trot, trying to find her home, but soon found herself beginning to get lost. After a day of being stuck on a hot and cramped train, she had finally lost it.
"Why can't I find my damn house?!" Wires screamed breathlessly into the air.
Now Luna's moon was high in the sky and it was the only way Wires was able to see five feet in front of her. While walking through the night, the temperature had dropped and the wind picked up. Wires legs quickly became cold and numb as the wind continued to tear at her legs. In the distance, Wires saw a motel and decided that it would be better to stay there, so she could be safe and warm. Plus, it seemed like a better idea to search for her house the next day.
Walking was starting to hurt Wires, so she quickly made it to the motels door, so her legs didn't have to suffer the cold bite of the night's wind. Wires walked in as warmth invaded her body. She stood there for a moment letting the heat calm her, making her feel content and safe.
Wires saw a gray and black mane behind the counter, and decide to ask him for a room.
"Um hi, can I get a room for the night, please?" Wires asked, while still shivering a bit.
The mysterious colt turned around to face Wires and took an ear bud out of one of his ears.
"Sure, only 10 bits." He replied.
Wires found herself staring into the young colt's watery blue eyes, but quickly noticing what she was doing. She looked down and grabbed her wallet out of her sweatshirt.
"Sorry." Wires mumbled. Her face began to grow hot as a dark shade of crimson founds it's way across her cheeks.
"No, I'm sorry," said the young colt with a small smile. "I haven't fully introduced myself," he said. "My name is High Score. Yours?"
"Oh, heh, my name is Wires, nice to meet you." She said.
High Score grabbed the key out of the drawer and stretched his hoof over the counter to hand the key to Wires. His sleek whit coat caught Wires attention, and so did his mane. But, his eyes were the best feature about him and she didn't know exactly why. Wires couldn't deny that High Score was a handsome looking colt. Wanting to admire High Score some more, Wires saw out of the corner of her eye that he was holding the key to her room. Not wanting to make the night anymore awkward between them, they both exchanged small smiles before Wires headed down the hall, with the key, to her room.
Opening the door quietly, Wires whispered to herself,
"Jeez, what the hell is wrong with me now-a-days?"
Wires placed her room key on top of a wooden table and headed towards the bathroom. She slipped off her sweatshirt and turned on the shower. Jumping into the shower, Wires let the warm drops of water splash on her mane, roll down mane, and roll down her back. It felt comforting after a long day of packing and being stuck on the train. All she wanted to do was go to sleep and rest for tomorrow. Drying herself off and jumping into bed, Wires slowly brought the warm and soft flat blankets on top of her. Usually in such comfort, Wires would be able to fall asleep immediately, but the thoughts of the blue eyed colt were starting to cloud her mind, blocking sleep.
Wires awoke with a start. She was extremely tried from the lack of sleep she had. Suddenly, the past days events rushed back into her mind, slightly shocking her. Wires gently pushed the blankets off of herself and headed towards the bathroom. She turned the faucet on and rinsed her face, hoping that it would at least wake her up and clam the crazy thoughts that were running through her head. With a little struggling, Wires was able to brush her purple and blue mane, and got ready for the day. Unfortunately, the thought of High Score never left her mind. Wires was starting to become frightened from the sudden emotions that High Score would bring upon her.
"I've only seen this colt once, and I'm already falling in love with him!" Wires shouted, "I must be going crazy."
Someone must have heard her shouting, because there was a knock on the door.
"Miss, are you OK?" a stranger questioned from behind the closed door.
"Don't worry. I'm fine." Wires answered.
With that, she heard the stranger walk away from the door. Wires picked up her sweatshirt off the ground and put in on. At this point, she just wanted to leave the motel and go to her home. Wires picked up the rest of her belongings in the room and headed down the hallway towards the counter where she got her key. Luckily for Wires, High Score wasn't working, so she just placed her key on the counter and walked out in search of her new home.
While walking out of the motel, Wires was able to see the full beauty and extent of Ponyville. The flowers and trees gave off a sweet aroma, which filled her nose and made her feel at ease with herself.
Finally, Wires was able to find her home, it was a cloud, obviously, because she was born a pegasus. While at the motel, sleeping on the somewhat comfortable bed had contributed to her lack of sleep the night before. In her mind, a cloud was the softest thing in all of Equestria that a pony could sleep on. Nothing could match it. Could she be wrong? Maybe. As soon as Wires flew into her new home, she started unpacking what little she had. Not having a lot of possessions made her life a lot easier, so unpacking was a breeze. The one problem was that once Wires was done unpacking, she had nothing to do, so Wires went out to fly for a short period of time over Ponyville.
In Wires mind, nothing worse could have happened while she was out. As Wires left her house, she could feel the drops of rain fall down her back, but not wanting to turn back. So, Wires continued flying, enduring the rain's cold touch. While flying, the rain started to cloud her vision and she could no longer see in front of her. Knowing that it would be basically impossible for her to try and find her home, Wires swooped down, thinking the ground would be a safe place to get her bearing. Wires was sadly mistaken, because of her poor eyesight caused by the rain, made Wires collide with something. And HARD.
Wires now lay silently on the ground as the rain pelted her white coat, letting mud soak her from head to hoof. Wires was in such shock from the collision, that she couldn't even scream for help. Wires tried to stand several times, but only found her body slamming back into the mud every time. For the first time in what seemed like forever, tears started to gently stream down her face. Never has Wires felt so helpless before. Wires thought she was out of hope, going to die of hypothermia, until she heard the sound of hooves, galloping towards her. She tried to scream for help once again, but only found that her voice was still stuck in her throat.
Suddenly, Wires felt hooves wrap around her as she gently placed on the stranger's back. Whoever this pony was, Wires owed this pony big time. The rain continued to pelt her body while on the strangers back until suddenly, it all stopped. Wires opened her eyes for the first time since her unfortunate collision. She was lightly placed on the strangers couch. Wires was about to thank the stranger until warm blankets were carefully placed on top of her. In a matter of seconds, Wires fell into a deep and restless sleep.
A couple of hours later, Wires woke up and attempted to move, forgetting about what had happened to her earlier. As she tried to lift one of her back legs, she could feel a sharp pain shoot up her back and she immediately lay back down, giving up.
