Friendship is Eternal
Ch. 3 A library and a Problem
Previous ChapterThe carriage slowly eased down from the sky. I had arrived in Ponyville. I couldn't believe my eyes, all the streets were completely full of ponies, both boy and girl. From what I could tell. This friend thing is going to be easier than I thought.
When the carriage was finally at a full stop and safely on the ground, I jumped out and walked up to the two steeds that had brought me to my destination. "Thanks for the ride I guess," the two horses looked at each other then nodded and neighed as if to say "Your welcome".
"Do any of you know where I sho-" I turned to face them but the two steeds were already too far out to here me. I looked at my surroundings, the busy streets teaming with ponies and other wild animals such as chickens made me gulp involuntarily. "Yeah, easy,"
As I walked through the streets of Ponyville, my view on the whole "girl show" thing changed drastically. This place was no different from my world, heck no different than my own city. Ponies would talk to each other loudly and every once in a while I got my own "Hey, I'm walkin here!" shouted in my face. I started to walk much faster. I had to get to a calm part of the town. Somewhere I could actually breathe.
Soon I had arrived at a large tree with a door leading inside of it. Was this place a house? If so was it for like squirrels or something? I thought harder and remembered from my sisters show that this was where one of the main characters lived. Ok, perfect, I can talk to her about this mess, make a friend and ask what a cutiemark is.
I turned the knob on the door and walked inside. It was calm and the sudden quite from the outside made me think that trees are sound proof. There were books all around the large room. Some were small and skinny but most were the size of dictionaries. The smell of the library, that's what I'm saying this place is, was absolutely mesmerizing. It smelled of lavender.
"Hello?" I asked at the air. No answer. I looked to my right and saw a set of stairs leading to a new part of the tree-library. I hesitated for a few seconds and then headed up the curled stair case.
The room was much messier than down stairs. There were books of all sizes scattered around, some still open, and a a small set of stairs led to a small messy bed decorated with stars.
"Can I help you?" A voice asked, I turned to the door shocked by the sudden noise that broke perfect silence.
"I... Uhm... I was just trying to... how are you?" I stuttered foolishly.
"I'm fine, you look like you just got hit by a train," the purple pony said.
"Sparkle Pie, isn't it?"
"What? No," she giggled, "I'm Twilight Sparkle," she bowed, "you got the Sparkle right,"
"Hehe, I'm Ty-" I stopped and remembered the princesses words, "I'm Frost Heart,"
"Nice to meet you but why are you in my room?"
"Oh, sorry, I've never been here and I was just curious,"
"I understand, come on, did you need to talk to me?"
"Yes," we headed down stairs and Twilight sat on a sofa and with some sort of magic, pulled a recliner for me to sit in.
"Well, I'm all ears, what's on your mind Frost Heart?" She asked as I sat in the chair.
"Ok, first off I'm here because your princess wants me to make some friends," her eyes shimmered.
"Princess Celestia sent you? I wonder why she didn't tell me," she looked down to the ground in thought.
"I also need one of those," I pointed to to her flank that had five stars printed on it in beautiful detail.
"A cutiemark? You don't have one?" she asked in disbelief.
"No, I never figured out what my special thing was," I tried to finger in some parentheses around "special" and "thing" but the fact that I no longer had fingers ended up with me aimlessly shaking my hooves in the air like a moron. Twilight just looked at me, not judging.
"I'm sure you'll figure it out,"
"That's why I came to Ponyville,"
"It still doesn't explain why she would send you here just to do something you should have done when you were a filly... No offense," she puzzled.
"None taken," at that moment a small creature about the size of a large teddy bear walked in the library. The noises out side were loud but very brief because the purple and green creature slammed the door angrily.
"Sorry Twilight I got tripped by somepony and they didn't even bother to say sorry," the strange creature ranted, "who's this?"
"Oh, Spike this is Frost Heart, Frost Heart, this is my assistant baby dragon, Spike," Twilight introduced.
"Howdy!" Spike cheered.
"Uhm, baby dragon?"
"Well if you insist, I'm almost a teen dragon," He explained with pride.
"Spike!" Twilight cut in. My stomach growled at that moment.
"Oh my," Twilight giggled, "Why don't you come with us? I need to go to a friends to pick up something," I nervously grinned, "Don't worry, she's a good friend. Also she loves meeting new people,"
"You mean Pinkie Pie?" Spike asked.
"Yep, I need to pick up some sugar because somepony used the last of it to make a jewel cake," The baby dragon cringed a smile. She then looked at me, "Pinkie's always baking something, I'm sure there'll be something to eat," with that she and Spike exited the door, I had no choice but to follow. It couldn't be that bad, I'm already friends with Twilight... I think.
