These may be my last few hours, so I am writing this. I am Smith and if you are reading this, keep reading because this is my story. If I am dead I want to be buried with my wife we all ways planned to do that. I will tell you when it started. it was last week when I woke up. I opened the window that is next to my bed. Then I sat on my dresser. I toke a large breath of fresh air. I went out of my room to the bathroom. I looked in the mirror my dark brown mane and tail were tanked like somepony took a fan and shoved it in. I tried my best to brush it. The way I slept my brown coat was a shaggy mess. My eyes were a sad green. After staring at myself I put on my black smiths apron like every day and went out of my house.
I saw a few ponies trotting by, I waved. They waved back they were a Pegasus and a Unicorn, I don't know their names. I am just a regular, boring, plan, earth pony. I just I uh... I’d like to be a Unicorns or Pegasus. I wish I was like them, special. I am just a black smith. My cutiemark is a hammer and metal. I make knives, swords, and armor things for war but there is no war in ponyville or equestra. Well ware was I? O' ya after saying hi the ponies I went to the market place to sell my wares. Only one pony looked at my stand a White pony with a long flowing violet main and tail. She asked me if I had any sewing needles. I replied with "I think..." I looked for a bit I found some like 10 or 12 I told her it would be 2 bits she gave me 5. I told her she gave me 3 bits to much she said "I know" and walked off. I thought to myself "well that was generous I think … or rude maybe?” I then went home.
That night there was a cold wind coming from the window. I went to close it but a Pegasus came flying though the widow at celestias speeds! She was blue with a rainbow main her eyes were a red pink. I replied and I Quote "WHAT THE BUCK... Uhmm... are you ok and who are you?" she said "I fine .... WHAT?" "What is something wrong?" I replied "Ya you don't know who the best flyer in the world is!" I just looked at her as she went on rolling my eyes threw most of the parts of her "speech". "As you can tell by my cutiemark, I am a fast! flyer." her mark was a cloud with a rainbow lightning bolt then I said "fast but not very coordinated." She screeched "The sun was in my eyes." I then calmly said back to her "the sun is not even up.” “Err... I don't know what happen but please don't tell. Ponies look up to me!" she plead, I said "alright" she thanked me then flew out the window. I flopped on the bed and when to sleep.
When I woke there was a knock on my door I went to open it a pink pony jumped out knocking me to the ground. She had hair that seemed to defy gravity. Her cutiemark were three balloons. She was talking so fast I could not understand what she was saying but I did make out happy birthday. Even I forgot it was my birthday but she seemed concerned or upset. I asked what was wrong she said slowly “Well I am just so sad *sniff* none other of your friends came, I told everyone” I told her didn't have any friends. She had a face of fear and then rambled on about how sad I must be without friends. I cut in telling her I started to avoid my friends after my wife died she had a heart disease. When discord came back all the crap that he was doing she just could not take it and she died. I would not of had such a hard time but she could not have fillies I told her that to. I don’t know why I told her all that I just need a friendly face to talk to and she had one. She looked like my wife and my wife was just like her always happy. She asked what I did for a living I said I was a black smith. She jumped with joy wonting to see some of my work. She tried on some of the armor she said the armor was some of the best. My wife would have said the same thing. She left at the end of the party but not before telling me her name it was pinkie pie. I then went to work but when I got home a mail mare gave me a letter. The letter was from celestia it said in the letter that she had heard what happen and that she was sorry for my lost but that pinkie pie told her about my armor and wonted to see it. The princess wonted to see my work! That night I when to sleep knowing my mom would be proud.
The next day I went to the library to learn about canterlot manners. When I got there a dragon answered seeing weirder things I ask if the librarian was there. He said “no she is not here and my names spike thanks for asking” then showed me in. spike said “she is in canterlot” I replied “oh I am going there tomorrow to meet the princess. So I came here to get a book on canterlot manners” he said “I think I know where a book like that is.” He then grabbed the book off the shelf and handed it to me I thanked him and left. I was not looking where I was going and walked into an orange pony with three apples as a cutiemark. I said I was sorry. She replied “oh I didn’t see you there. Hay I haven’t seen you in ponyville are new?” I said back to her “no have lived her for a long time I just don’t go out much. Sine my wife di…wait why am I telling you this?” she said it ok I understand we all go secrets.“ We said goodbye and went on like we never met.When I got home I read the book I just got. After that I pack my armor, drawing designs, and my forge gear. I put all my stuff in my cart and then went to bed.
