Hey this is my new story :D
I had a different one with almost the same character but scrapped it since I couldn’t really write with that idea.
Enjoy the first chapter of my new story!
The sun was shining brightly in the sky as the pony walked into town, he looked around at the other ponies around him all talking to one another. He smiled at this and quickly found the building his was looking for.
“Okay there’s town hall.” He said to himself. He then pulled out a note from a small bag on his side and read it over like the many time’s he had already.
Dear Ink
It has come to my attention that you need to take a break. You have been writing nonstop for almost a year, as your publisher and friend I think you need a break. You have been running yourself ragged brony. So I’ve set up a small 4 month vacation for you in a small town called Ponyville. I’ve set up everything with the Mayor just find her and she’ll take you to the place I rented for you. Please try and relax, make friends, get a marefriend even! Just stop writing every moment of the day!
Your Friend,
Freelance
Ink sighed and rolled his eyes.
“Like I really need a vacation.” He mumbled. Ink was a slightly smaller than normal stallion, he had a red coat with a black mane and tail along with brown eyes and black glasses. His cutie mark was of a blue book open and a quill posed to write in it. He was about 22 but had already become a sensation in the fiction book world. He wrote mostly about a series of book’s he called the Rockslide series. He loved writing his series but had taken an obsessive turn when he hit writer’s block trying to write any idea he had for almost a year but couldn’t, as he kept trying and trying eventually cutting himself off from his friend’s other than Freelance who was also his publisher and childhood friend. Eventually Freelance got so annoyed by his friend’s action he forced his friend out of his house and to a vacation. After leaving his house in Hoofington he took a train to Canterlot and had walked the rest of the way to Ponyville.
Finally Ink shook his head and then walked into the town hall. Inside was a small desk with a white earth pony with a black mane behind it. Ink quickly walked up.
“Uh I’m here to see the Mayor?” He asked. The pony lifted her head and looked at him before pointing to a door behind her with a sign saying Mayor. Ink thanked her and walked to the door and knocked.
“Come in!” A voice said through the door. Ink slowly opened the door and walked in. Sitting there was a tan colored earth pony with a gray mane and blue eyes. She was smiling as Ink walked in and put down a pen she was using.
“What can I do for you?” She asked. Ink smiled and sat down in a chair in front of her desk.
“I’m uh here to find where I’ll be staying for the next few months, my friend Freelance set it up?” Ink asked hoping that Freelance may have messed up and not rented the place. The mayor smiled and nodded.
“Oh yes! You must be Ink then right?” She asked. I nodded and she opened a drawer and pulled out a piece of paper and handed it to him. “You will be staying at a small house about two blocks from here.” She said giving him a big smile. Ink nodded.
“Thank you Miss.” He said. The mayor nodded.
“I hope you have a lovely stay in Ponyville Mr. Writer.” She said. Ink quickly left and headed towards his newly rented house.

Pinkie Pie happily skipped down the street. She was heading to Twilight’s place.
“Oh I wonder if Twilight will let me show her my new cupcakes I made! There soooooo yummy and awesome! Maybe I should ask Spike to! Or even-“ She suddenly stopped in the middle of her ramble to herself and stared. Ink was walking down the street towards his house and Pinkie jumped into the air and bolted to Twilight’s library.
“Twilight! Twilight! Twilight!” She yelled bursting through the front door surprising said pony inside of the building. “Twilight! I have something super duper important to tell you!” Pinkie Pie said happily jumping up and down in excitement. Twilight Sparkle blinked and then sighed.
“What is it Pinkie?” She asked picking up a few books with her magic which cause both her horn and the books to glow with a purple aura. Pinkie then stopped jumping and smiled.
“I saw a new pony in town! Can we go meet him? Oh I should throw him a party! I wonder what cupcakes he likes? Oh I know he’ll like chocolate! Everypony likes cho-“ She was cut off as Twilight held a hoof over her mouth.
“Pinkie…..slow down…” Twilight said moving her hoof from Pinkie’s mouth. Pinkie smiled.
“There’s this new pony in town! We HAVE to throw him a party!” She said with a large smile. Twilight smiled.
“Maybe we should introduce ourselves first Pinkie get the others and meet here and we will all go meet him.” She said. Pinkie nodded and then saluted before running off to get the others. Twilight sighed and continued to shelve books as Spike her purple and green baby dragon assistant walked in.
“What was that about?” Spike asked staring at the front door which would have to be fixed. Twilight smiled.
“Pinkie wanted to tell me about a new pony in town.” Spike nodded at this, it being completely normal for Pinkie Pie to do these things. Twilight finished shelving books and turned to go upstairs to get ready to leave when she noticed a book lying on the ground. She picked it up and smiled.
“Rockslide book one, one of my favorites!” She said quickly shelving and walking upstairs.

Ink sighed as he opened the door to his rented house and walked inside. The inside was very plain, the walls were all white in every room and only the kitchen and the bathroom didn’t have tiles. He quickly pulled his bag off and set it off to the side leaning on a wall. He then walked into the restroom and began washing up. He quickly washed himself in his shower and then dried off with one of the towels on the rack. He then looked in the mirror and saw his mane sticking almost straight up. He snickered then began patting it down into a slightly better shape. He then put his glasses back on and walked out. He found out he had a small desk in his room he was suppose to use and began setting up to write. He began to jot down and idea but then stopped as his writer’s block hit him. He then slammed his face onto the desk in frustration.
“Ow…” He said raising his head in pain. “That wasn’t a good idea.” He mumbled gripping his now sore face. Suddenly there was a knock at his door. He quickly stood up and walked to the front door. He quickly opened it.
“Hi! You’re the new pony right! We HAVE to throw you a party! It’ll be soooo awesome and cool!” Said a sudden pink flash in Ink’s vision which made him almost fall backwards. Suddenly the pink flash was gone as something dragged it back.
“Hold it right there Sugarcube you might scare the fella.” A country voice said. Ink blinked and finally could see what was talking. It was a group of ponies in front of his house, six to be exact. There was a light orange one with green eyes, yellow hair, a large hat and a cutie mark of 3 apples. This is the one who had pulled back the Pink blur which Ink could now see was a slightly bouncing pony with a smile on her face. She had a pink coat and a pink mane with blue eyes, her cutie mark consisted of 3 balloons.
“Well hello there. I’m Twilight Sparkle.” One of them said stepping forward. She had a small smile on her face. She had a lavender coat with a purple mane with a indigo strip and a pink strip in it. She had violet eyes and a cutie mark that consisted of large colored sparkle surrounded by smaller sparkles.
“Uh Hi.” Ink said still slightly confused. Suddenly another pony came up with a smile on her face.
“It’s a pleasure to meet you Darling, my name is Rarity.” She said. This pony had a grey coat with a purple mane, her eyes were azure and her cutie mark consisted of three gems. Ink nodded and smiled.
“um nice to meet you.” He said. Suddenly another pony bumped Rarity out of the way and walked up with a smug smile.
“The name’s Rainbow Dash and you’d better remember it cause everyone should know my name.” She said smugly. This pony was blue with a rainbow colored mane. She had dark pink eyes and her cutie mark consisted of a rainbow colored lightning bolt coming out of a cloud. I nodded. The orange pony from before then walked up.
“Well hey there, mah name is Applejack and it’s nice to meet’cha.” She said sticking out a hoof. Ink stuck his out and shook her’s and then looked over at the last pony. This one was slightly hiding behind Applejack but she leaned over and whispered to her and the last one walked up. This one had a pale yellow coat with a pink mane and cyan eyes. Her cutie mark consisted of a three butterflies.
“Hi.. I’m….Fluttershy…” She said quietly. Ink leaned forward.
“What was that?” He asked. Suddenly Rainbow Dash groaned.
“Her name is Fluttershy, can we please get going? I got a new trick to finish!” Rainbow Dash said in a huff. Twilight Sparkle glared at Rainbow Dash and then looked back to Ink.
“We never got your name Mr…?” She asked. I sighed.
“It’s Ink, Ink Writer.” He said. Twilight’s jaw dropped but she was quickly moved out of the way by Pinkie Pie.
“Well Hi Ink! Do you like parties? I’m going to throw you a party! A welcome to Ponyville party! It’s gonna be so awesome! By the way what kind of cupcakes do you lik-“ She was then cut off my a hoof around her mouth again by Applejack.
“Sorry bout that Ink Pinkie can be a little overwhelming at times.” Applejack said. Ink nodded then looked back into his house.
“Uh well I should actually be getting back to my work, it was nice meeting you all.” He said turning around and shutting the door behind him. The group then looked around at each other.
“Well that was rude.” Rarity said. Applejack shrugged.
“Well that fella probably had work to do Rarity.” She said. Rarity nodded but looked at Ink’s house with a glare. Twilight continued to gawk at the house as Fluttershy finally noticed.
“Um… Twilight is…something wrong?” She asked. Twilight looked over at Fluttershy and blinked before closing her mouth.
“No it’s just that… Ink Writer is the name of the author of a great series of books.” She said. She then looked at the house excitedly. “I wonder what he’s working on!” She said. Suddenly there was a loud thunk and a small yell. All the ponies looked at the house.

Ink had slammed his head on the desk again.
“Stupid hard desk…”
