Jeff The Killer.

The town of Ponyville was quiet and not a pony in sight, although he had yet to enter the actual town itself he wandered around this suburban area looking for a cheap inn to take refuge in for the night being. Passing a tree cottage Jeff walked over a bridge and the first thing he found was an inn thankfully. This would be his home for the time being.

Walking inside, he looked around and saw nopony at the front desk, just a bell and a little sign that said 'ring for service' Jeff tapped his hoof against the bell, a moment later a mint green pony with a cyan mane, white streaks in her mane, and beautiful sunglow eyes walked out. "Hi, my name is Lyra, how can i help you?" She said.

"Uh, hi.." Jeff's voice sounded dry, he needed something to drink.

"You need a room?" She smiled.

"Uh yeah actually, do you have the time by the way?"

Lyra looked to a clock on the wall mounted above the door, "Its..5:57 AM...Kinda late to get a room don't you think?" She giggled to herself.

"I suppose it is.." He scratched the back of his head. "Well can i get a room?"

Lyra nodded and smiled once more, "Of course, just sign the registry and pay a 3 bit fee!" She scooted forward the registry, an ink well and a quill. A red glow surrounded the quill, dipping it into the ink well and signing the name 'Bright Smiles,' Onto the lines.

Lyra looked at the name signed before her, "Bright smiles huh? Nice to meet you! I told you my name already, lemme be the first to welcome you to ponyville!"

"Thanks," Jeff pulled out 3 bits and put them onto the counter, "You look like you don't normally work here." Jeff obviously has a knack for observing...

"You're right haha, i actually play Lyre but it hasn't been enough to pay this months rent so i got another job." She placed a key on the counter and slid it towards Jeff, "It pays well and i need the money so,"

"Oh, sorry to hear that..uh what room am i in?" He picked up the key.

"Room 6-E down the hall on your left" She pointed down the hall with a smile, was pretty awake for 6:00 in the morning if you ask me.

"Thank you uh, Lyra." Jeff gave a half assed smile and proceeded down the hall to the left as Lyra said.

"4-E...5-E..6-E here we are." He put the key into the lock and opened the door, its just a simple 1 bed inn room. A single nightstand and a lamp on top, a coffee table with 2 chairs. Walking inside and shutting the door, Jeff threw his saddlebag onto the bed. He doesn't sleep..but now he could plan his next move.

Opening the pouch opposite of the one that contained his precious case was an assortment of maps. Each one was different , one was strictly for road systems, another was a regular map, the last being a map of police jurisdictions. Scanning the map he located Ponyville and noticed it was within nobody's jurisdiction, all he has to worry about it the Canterlot Royal Guard, who is in town to protect a Princess Twilight Sparkle.

He needed to know the layout of this place, what better way then to go walk around town? It was morning anyhow so Jeff decided it was time for a little scouting. Exiting his room he walked once more to the front desk, Lyra was reading an old book of sorts. "Leaving so soon?" she said in a curious tone.

"Just gonna go look around town, get a feel for the place. Recommend any places?"

"Yeah, you should check out Sugarcube Corner, its a great place!" Lyra was extremely enthusiastic and friendly.

Jeff's curiosity was peeked by the book, "Can i ask what your reading?" He cocked his head to the right slightly.

"Its uh..a book about the SlenderPony if you are into that stuff.." She looked down at the desk, clearly embarrassed. "Most ponies think im crazy..especially my roommate Bon-Bon"

Jeff could only chuckle and shake is head, "You don't know crazy, and besides he's real. I know, i've seen him.."

"Really?" Lyra looked amazed, "But doesn't he take everypony he see's?.."

"He can't see if he doesn't have any eyes, besides we just..looked at each other for a bit then walked our separate ways. Anyway ill tell you about it later...im gonna go around town for a bit," Jeff waved and walked out the door, leaving Lyra in a world of wonder. What Jeff said is true, his encounter with the SlenderPony was truly one of the oddest experiences of his life, but thats a story for another time.

The sun had begun to rise, some ponies began to walk out onto the streets. One pony in particular caught Jeff's eye, a Pink pony with a large curly pink mane who hopped around like she was on a sugar rush. What she said left him even more perplexed, "My pinkie senses tell me there's a new pony in town!"

"Pinkie sense?...This bitch is gonna figure me out!" Jeff covered his mouth, realizing he said that outloud, thankfully nopony heard him. New priority, avoid this mare at all costs, this pinkie sense will expose him. Sneaking behind a few buildings, Jeff managed to move on by the pink mare, he continued on.

The town for the most part looked like an average run of the mill kind of place, simple, small and away from the city. As Jeff took in the sights all around him, he didn't notice that the pink pony he was trying to avoid was right in front of him. "HI!"

"HUHWHA?!" Jeff was startled, when he had to take on a persona...completely different pony then the one we all know.

"Are you new here? I've never seen you around here before!" Pinkie looked at Jeff from all angels, grabbing his legs, his horn and other various parts before finally stopping.

"I'm just uh." He cleared his throat, "In town for a bit.."

"I'm Pinkie Pie! Whats your name?" She turned her head upside down while leaning forward.

"Bright Smiles..My name is Bright Smiles."

"Are you hiding something, i feel like your hiding something from me.." A face suggesting she was thinking washed over her face, this made Jeff weary.

"N-No you startled me is all, look i don't mean to be rude uh..Pinkie Pie, but id really like to look around town. I don't have time for conversation right now."

"Okie Dokie Lokie!" Pinkie Pie hopped away and said to herself "He's hiding something from me,"

"Ugh.." Jeff let out an annoyed sigh. "I swear im gonna stab her in the throat." He walked away annoyed. As he walked away, a feeling in the back of his head began to slowly arise, craving to punch something. Jeff could only hold back for so long before he snapped, and it was coming...
