Chapter 2

A Name

"Brilliant Blaze," I sat right up in my bed, the sun was gleaming through the window. I looked over at Twiligtht who was still asleep.

I went over to her bed and shook her awake,"Twilight wake up." I said

"What is it?" She replied, rubbing her eyes.

"I know my name now, it's Brilliant Blaze!" I smiled…that was the first time I ever smiled.

"Well then, good morning Brilliant Blaze." She smiled back.

There was a faint grumbling, I turned to see that Spike was still asleep chewing on his pillow and mumbling something.

I walked over to a mirror, I chuckled at my mane. It was a shade of bright orange with three spikes in the front and the same went for my tail.

"If you want I have a comb you can use," Twilight offered.

"No thanks," I said,"I kinda like it this way." I ran my hoof through it.

"While you're here I can at least show you around town." Twilight said

I said, "I guess I should, I think I may be here awhile."

"Why's that?"

"Well I can only remember yesterday, and I kinda like it here." I smiled

"Then let's get going then," She said, "Spike we're leaving."

"Ugh…" Spike mumbled back.

I laughed as we walked out the door, "Is he always like that?"

"Not all the time, just in the morning." Twilight chuckled

"Now let's see, where to begin?" She said as we walked, "Oh here we are at Sugar cube Corner."

I could smell all the sweets and cake to the point that I almost drooled. While I walked around looking at the sweets I noticed a mare with a poofy pink mane. We made eye contact for a few seconds then suddenly she jumped up and gasped. She ran out of the bakery with logic defying speed.

I looked over at Twilight, "What was that about?" I asked her

She smiled, "It's best I don't say."

I shrugged and we walked out of the bakery.

"Next on our tour is Rarity's boutique." Twilight said

We walked in and a white mare with a curly purple mane was working on a dress, I assumed that was Rarity. She turned towards us, "Hello Twilight what brings you here?" She looked at me, "Who is this?"

"This is Blaze, he plans to stay here in Ponyville and i'm showing him around." Twilight answered

Before I could say something I was being pushed onto a platform by Rarity. Within mere seconds Rarity was taking my measurements for a vest. During this Twilight was watching and snickering.

"You really don't have to do this." I said as pieces of fabric flew around me.

"Nonsense Blaze, you plan to stay here so you should at least have something nice to wear," Rarity said finishing the measurements, "I should have it finished by tomorrow."

I hopped  off the platform, "Thanks," I whispered to Twilight, "Quick let's get out of here before she tries to fit me for something else." With that we walked out.

…..

After visiting Sweet Apple Acres and Fluttershy's house, we walked by an old run down building.

"What's that?" I stopped and asked.

"That," Twilight said, "Is the town Forge."

"What happened to it?" I asked

"Well Summer Beard, the blacksmith that ran it suddenly left years and nopony knew how to keep the place running so it was eventually abandoned." She explained

I walked closer almost as if I heard a voice beckoning me to come closer but then I shook it off.

"C'mon," Twilight said, "We still have one place to go."

………

Our tour winded down and we came back to Twilight's house. We walked in and the lights were turned off.

"What's going on?" I asked

Suddenly the lights flashed on and everypony shouted, "Surprise!" The pink pony from the bakery was in front of me smiling as wide as she could.

"What's all this?" I asked the pink pony

"I saw you in the bakery and I knew I had never seen you before so you must have been new in town and I know everypony in town so I do what I always do for a new pony in town," She said still smiling, "Throw a party!" She shouted

"Sorry Blaze," Twilight said see ing me in shock, "This is Pinkie Pie the resident party thrower in Ponyville."

"Thank you Pinkie Pie." I smiled

"You are very welcomed." She said hopping away

"Blaze," I heard sompony say, "There you are." I turned to see Rarity walking towards me levitating a box.

"Hey Rarity," I said, "What's that?"

"Well I heard that Pinkie Pie was throwing you a party so decided to finish your vest." She opened the box and levitated the dark brown leather vest over to me.

I slid it on, "It fits perfectly," I said, "Thank you Rarity."

"It's the least I can do for you." Rarity said

"If you'll excuse me," I said, "I've got a party to enjoy."

……

Pinkie Pie threw one heck of a party, it lasted almost all night but eventually the party did die down and the ponies left. Twilight and I had to drag out so she didn't try to throw an after party.

"That was fun and all," I said, "But i'm glad it's finally over." I yawned

"Same here," Twilight said, "Pinkie Pie means well but sometimes she gets carried away."

"I think it's time to hit the hay." I said

I laid on my bed and waited until I knew for sure that Twilight and Spike were fast asleep. I grabbed my vest and went out into the cold night, I had to find out what I heard at the forge.
