A Place To Be Called Home Too
Chapter One: A New Home And Job
As you load the last of your bags on the train in the baggage storage room, and make your way to your seat as you sit down slowly and stare out the window when the train starts moving, you start thinking about what made you finally leave Manehattan, you don't know if it was the new assistant manager job or if you just wanted to get far away from here and something new in your life,
But you didn't know if you could find more work in someplace else so you just stayed in Manehattan and hoped it worked out...thankfully it did, but you will miss some of your co-workers and you did have some nice memories of the place and especially of her.
You wonder where she was living or what she even looks like now, after all you were just a colt back then and she was one of the cutest fillies you have ever seen, but as you slowly start to fall asleep because moving really tired you out, you are still thinking of her as that cute orange filly from back then.
(A two hours later,) You wake up to a loud noise from the train stopping at the station and a hear loud hiss from the outside, and hear the station name and it's your stop so you get up and start moving to the other car to get your bags. upon doing so you bump into and accidentally knocked down a little filly with a dark orange coat and red mane, in fact you think you have seen her in Manehattan before.
You then say to the little filly “I am terribly sorry I wasn't paying attention.”
And you soon hear her reply saying "No it's fine I wasn't either,” you then think to your self Well at least she is nice and understanding.
She gets up and brushes herself off and nervously said goodbye while taking her bag with her and walked away, as you turn back around to the baggage room to retrieve your luggage.
You hear outside, "Babs! Babs it's me, your cousin Applebloom." You look outside and see the filly you bumped in to as well as three others you don't recognize, you go back to retrieving your luggage and think to yourself Well at least it's friendly here.
You take your luggage off the train and start heading straight to your new house, as you're walking to your new house you start thinking, I better find some new furniture, but I wonder where I could find a place that sells them considering I just moved here, maybe I should ask somebody later.
Finally, after fifteen minutes of walking you have reached your new house, it's a little bit out of shape but you can fix it up, you set your things down so you can get the key out and unlock the door, you soon find it and put it in to the keyhole and turn it to the right unlocking the lock for the door, after returning the key back to your pocket and picking up the stuff you set down.
You push the door open and set the stuff you have in your hands on the floor out of the way so you can bring in the other things you have outside as well, after bringing in the last suitcase you start unpacking, which takes up half the day but you arrived in Ponyville as of now, with that done you decide to look around and see what they do in Ponyville considering you don't start work in two days.
As you were going to your new house you happen to pass a library and with nothing better to do you decide to go in and rent a book and see if the librarian knows where you can get some furniture for your new home, you enter the door to the library and look around and much too your surprise it's inside a tree but you are also shocked at how many books there are, you look around too see if they have a desk were you can ask somebody for some help.
You finally found the desk and behind it is a pale light grayish mulberry mare with moderate sapphire blue hair with moderate violet and brilliant rose streaks she seems to be reading a book as you walk up to her and ask,
“Excuse me, do you have the type of book I am looking for?” She looks up from her book to you with moderate violet eyes that you could get lost in if your not too careful and says
“What is the book are you looking for?”
“Ah, I am looking for the book The Adventures Of Daring Do And The Last Temple Of The Sliver Diamond Dogs.”
“Now I think we have that, you see I have a friend who likes to read The Adventures Of Daring Do so we should have it, so please follow me.”
“Alright cool" you then introduced yourself and followed the mulberry-coated mare "By the way I just moved here so I don't know where the furniture shop is around here, Do you?”
“I am Twilight Sparkle and oh if your looking for furniture my friend Rarity can help you, I'll ask her and see if she has time to show you to the shop, I can't right now because I am running the library so I'll send her a message when I am done helping you find your book, and speaking of your book it should be in this row, also I'll have Spike take you to her boutique once I find him.”
you then see a baby dragon running up to Twilight and saying.
“Did I hear I get to go to Rarity's boutique?”
Twilight chuckles “So you were eavesdropping while hiding on us while you were in the kitchen”
“No...Maybe”
“Yes you get to go to Rarity's boutique, but I want you come back soon you can stay only for a little bit got it.”
“Got it Twilight, so when are we going.”
“When I get my book and check out then we'll head straight there." As soon as Spike hears that he grabs the book and runs straight to the check out desk.”
“Boy he sure is in a hurry." you then turn and look to Twilight and say “So where's the fire?”
Twilight chuckles again and says “Oh Spike just has a crush on Rarity is all.”
“Really so that's why he was so excited to visit her.”
“Yeah he's had a crush on her since day one" Twilight says as you and her are half way from the check out desk.”
Twilight gets behind the desk and checks out the book that Spike has in his hands and then suddenly a question pops in you head.
“So who is this friend that likes The Adventures Of Daring Do?” As Twilight was about to speak she get cut off by Spike.
“Oh that would be Rainbow Dash.”
“And who is Rainbow Dash.”
“She is the one that helps control our weather here in Ponyville.”
“Well that's sounds like a awesome job.”
“So, anymore you want to know before we leave?" Spike says.
“Um so what's Rarity and Rainbow Dash like?”
“Well Rarity likes classy things like proper etiquette and fashion, while on the other hand Rainbow Dash is more tomboyish who likes things like stunts and racing.”
“Okay so then I guess I should handle my self like a gentlemen when we get to Rarity's place.” You say as you start walking to the door.
“Your not trying to make a move on her are you?” Spike asks as he trails behind you shutting the door to the library as both of you leave.

Alright this is my first story and it couldn't have been done without The Watcher 509 proofreading as he really helped a lot with the typos and advise.
A Place To Be Called Home Too
You follow Spike down the path as he takes you to Rarity's boutique, him telling you about the crazy adventures and odd stuff that has happened to Twilight and her friends. From how she meet her friends and stopped Nightmare Moon all the way up to how Pinkie Pie cloned herself, Which seemed like from how the normal life you lived back in Manehattan made it look like child's play, but one thing that did bother you was the name of a certain mare that you had heard of from Spike. But you brush that feeling aside after a thirty minute walk or so, seeing as how you didn't wear or carry a watch, you have arrived at Rarity's boutique.
As soon as Spike sees Rarity's boutique he dashes inside leaving you behind in the hot summer weather. You knew that talking with someone could pass the time, but with how long you talked with Spike it made it seem like you were there in no time. And with it being summer today was hot so you were happy that you had passed the time talking with Spike, you also knew that when you get home you had to take a shower and change in to a new set of clothes from the sweat that has accumulated on your body.
Thankfully you didn't wear a white shirt or else there would have been light sweat spots under the armpits of the shirt, good thing you wore a black shirt today and you have only a slight odor. But it shouldn't be noticeable, so you continue to walk up the path to the boutique's door and open it. You then look around and see a quite fashionable looking place, seeing light purple walls with all sorts of colored cloth hanging from the ceiling, as well with a huge rug in the middle of the room.
And then there standing in the front of three mirrors with a statue in front of her, was a white mare with a purple mane wearing a white long sleeve blouse on top, Which it had also complimented the tight black skirt she had on. She was absolutely stunning and after moments of gazing at her beauty you soon realize that's Spike is beside her, was she the person that Spike had a crush on, and if so you could see why.
You realize that just standing by the door wouldn't get anything done, so you muster up the courage and walk over to where Spike and Rarity were. As you were walking up and getting closer to them you could start to see Rarity charm intensify and after seconds of staring you hear Spike say.
"So I can only stay for a bit." Spike says with a somewhat sad look.
Moments after that Rarity looks over to you with such amazing azure eyes, that you almost felt like your lips were stick together with glue. Rarity then says with a elegant voice.
"Ah darling, Spike told me everything about how you need new furniture for your home." Rarity explains with quite a upbeat expression.
"Um well mademoiselle I would be delight if you can help lead me to the shop that's all." you say in response to Rarity, which make's Spike give you a glare of death.
As she hears you say that she looks over to the clock on the wall, in which the time reads eight twenty two.
"Well we can't go now seeing as how the store's closing at this time so we'll have to go tomorrow darling" Rarity says.
"Alright what time is good for me to swing by so you can show me where it's at?" you say to Rarity.
"I think I should be done by six thirty dear but do you mind if we make a stop on our way, I need to drop off some clothes I made for Pinkie Pie for her to wear on her float for the Summer Harvest Parade?" Rarity says.
"Sure that shouldn't be a problem." you say as you then turn to Spike who is still glaring at you a little bit.
"Are you ready to go Spike? I can't let a baby dragon walk home by himself when its turning night out" you state.
"But I haven't had time to talk too Rarity" Spike says with a sad puppy dog eye look.
You kneel down to Spike and whisper in his ear.
"Look if we leave now I'll take you with us, when we go I'll let you have some alone time to talk with her on your way back, sound like a deal?"
"Deal." Spike says.
"Well miss Rarity I thinking Spike and me will see you tomorrow" you say.
"Oh well I'll see you tomorrow as well" she says.
You then see her face turn a light red, which cause Spike to start pushing you out the door closing it behind him. And after the door finally closes he then yells. "What was that!"
"What was, what?" you respond, playing dumb and joking with Spike.
"You know what you did back there" Spike says annoyed.
"Look I am just joking, I know you like Rarity and I won't try and steal her from you. In fact I want to help you." you say with a smile.
"And why would you want to help me?" Spike says confused all of sudden.
"Well believe it or not, I had someone I liked when I was just colt but I never got the chance to see if she felt the same." you say looking down as you walk with Spike.
"So what dose that have to do with you helping me?" Spike replies.
"What I am saying is that, I don't want you end up not getting the chance to ask how she feels about you, I mean before you know it that time slips away Spike that's all." you say still looking only at the ground.
"Then what should I do? Spike says confused.
"I'll help you with Rarity and conveying your feelings for her." saying that after turning the corner to see some of Twilight's library.
"But how is that going to work, you don't even know if I have a chance yet?" Spike replies.
"Don't worry with some of the stories you told me and with me spending sometime with Rarity when we are going to get me some furniture, I'll have time to figure out how she feels and when I am sure of it. I tell you and then all you have to do is ask her."
"Alright but this better not ruin my relationship with Rarity" Spike says walking up the path to Twilight's library with you.
"It won't, you just have to faith in yourself" you say reassuring Spike.
You then both say your goodbyes and Spike heads in to the library while you start walking down the path as you look up to see a wonderful moon and the night stars, you then start thinking to yourself. Today may have been a long day but it was a good day.
After a short walk you are home and ready to relax, all you really want to do is take a show, read a little bit of your book that you pick while laying in bed and fall asleep. So you walk up the creaking steps to go to the bathroom to take a shower. Thank god Twilight, Rarity or Spike didn't notice the smell from me moving in.
You turn the handle of the shower off then pull the shower curtains back to step out and dry yourself off you then rush to get dressed as you hated being naked and cold. Finally after put on your shirt you walk out in to the other room and grab the book off the nightstand and lay on top of the covers and open to the first page of The Adventures Of Daring Do And The Last Temple Of The Sliver Diamond Dogs. After reading a couple of chapters of it you decide to put the book aside and fall asleep, you look over to put the book back on the nightstand to see the clock read one eleven.
You pull the covers down and get in bed and cover yourself up, looking up at the ceiling waiting for sleep to take you away. You start thinking about her and how different it would be if you told her how you felt about her, then you slowly start to feel your eyes shut and drift to sleep.
