Pretty odd

"All aboard!" The train conductor shouted.

You rose from the bench and trotted over to the train. You waved the ticket in front of the conductor and entered the train.

You were leaving Canterlot. Why? Simple, you wanted to live the simple life where you could do things for yourself. It was tiring having butlers do everything for you. At least till your vacation is over.

Most ponies would love to be pampered but not you. You hated it.

The town you were heading was called Ponyville. You don't know much about it but its simple and not rowdy. You sighed and closed your eyes.

You opened your eyes to hear the train come to a screeching halt. You stretched your wings and grabbed your luggage. You waited till everyone was off the train. Once the doorway was clear you stepped off the train. You looked all around to see ponies doing their daily activities.

After passing many ponies you heard a weird springing sound next to you.

"Hi, my names Pinkie Pie, what's yours?" A pink earth pony shouted.

You were startled and fell to the ground.

"What are you doing silly? Oh are you playing a game? Can I play? Can I can I can I huh huh huh?" She said excitedly.

"Uh no I'm not playing a game, I was startled by you Pinkie." You inform her.

"Oh anyway what's your name?" She asked with a grin.

You then tell her your name.

"Oh that's a weird name. Oh, are you moving here visiting?" She asked with a smile.

"Uh not sure, I just felt that it was my time to leave my old town." You explain as you walked around town.

"Oh where did you live before you came here?" She asked.

"Canterlot."

"Oh so you were a fancy pony, what did you do there?" She asked.

"You ask a lot of question don't you Pinkie?"

"Yuppers! The more questions the more you get to know that pony." She stated with a smile.

"Uh huh well my great grandfather invented many things. Once my grandfather died, my father took over."

"Oh that must be sad to lose a family member." She said looking depressed.

"It is but you get over it, my father said that he's looking down on me caring for each of us." You said with a smile.

"Oh I know what I can throw you."

"What? A party?" You said jokingly.

"Oh my gosh you do know, are you a psychic?" She asked.

"No I just guess and judging by your cutiemark you're a pro at parties huh?"

"Oh my gosh you're so right! I better prepare, see ya." She then waved at you and sped off. You chuckled and walked towards the hotel near town.

You entered the hotel to lobby semi-active. You approached the counter and rang the bell.

"Hello and how can I help you?" A mare asked.

"I'd like a room please." You asked.

"Of course." She then made you sign a book and give her bits to the room. She handed you a key which you placed in your saddlebag. You walked upstairs and placed your luggage in your room.

You thought about today, so far it's been fast and it's only noon. You're stomach started grumbling.

"Looks like I'm hungry, maybe I'll go out get a feel of the town." You said to yourself.

As you step out of your room, you made your way towards elevator. There wasn't many ponies in the elevator just a mare that you glanced at a few times. She had a combination of light red and dark red mane, her cutiemark was of a rose. Deciding to engage in conversation you spoke up.

"Um hello my name is..." You told her your name, she seem pretty cool about you trying to talk to her.

"Oh hello my name's Roseluck. Hmm I've never seen you before, are you new in town?" She asked.

"Yeah you could say that, anyway I just wanted to meet new ponies. Last town I was in, most ponies were too busy to even glance at me." You responded.

"Oh where did you live?"

"Canterlot. Pretty big city when you look all around." You explain.

"So you some kind of big shot there?" She asked with a smile.

"Eh I'm not sure an inventor is much of a big shot." You inform her.

"Oh so you're good with your hooves. I would've imagined that a unicorn would be an inventor. Judging from your body, your more agile." She said studying you.

"You checking me out?" You said jokingly.

"You wish." She said with a giggle.

The elevator stopped on the first floor. You and Rose exited the elevator and made your way towards the front doors.

"So where are you headed?" Rose asked.

"I'm kinda starving wanna come with me?" You asked.

"Sure." The two of you entered town and entered a building that looked like a gingerbread house. You looked towards the sky before you went in and from looks of the sun's position, it was around 12:45.

You both sat down in a booth and waited for a waiter.

"So what exactly do you do Rose?" You asked.

"Well I own a flower shop near the marketplace." She said with a smile.

"So what were you doing in a hotel?" You asked.

"Well I was visiting a friend." You knew she was lying by looks of it.

"Come on, I know you're lying Rose." You said with a smirk.

"Uh fine you win well I owed Pinkie a favor so she asked me to find out more about you. You aren't mad are you?" She asked.

It seems like Pinkie has taken interest in you. You chuckled at the thought.

"Nah just try not to lie to me again."

"Okay." She said with a giggle.

"Hello there you two." You turned to see a blue mare with a pink mane.

"Oh hello Mrs.Cake."

"Hello there dear now who's this handsome stallion? Your new coltfriend?" She asked with a smirk.

"Uh oh uh n-no he's just a friend besides he isn't my type." She said.

"Oh really what is your type?" You asked with a smirk.

"Uh well um." Rose was really nervous.

"Relax Rose you don't have to say if you don't want to. Now what would you two have?" Mrs.Cake said with a cheerful smile.

"I'll have two cupcakes." You tell her.

"I'll just have a piece of cake." Rose said.

Mrs.Cake nodded and walked off but came back.

"I never got your name."

"Oh my name is..." You then told her your name. She nodded and walked off.

The conversation between you and Rose was about old life in Canterlot. How you got your cutiemark and how fun it was pranking the locals.

"I'm guessing that fancy ponies really hate you for those jokes huh?" Rose asked.

“Yeah most were but I remember this one stallion. When I was around, I'd say about fifteen years old, I used the old bucket of water over the head joke. He's my dad's business partner. Anyway when he opened the door the bucket fell atop of him. I started laughing my ass off, my dad didn't think it was funny but his partner did, he was laughing along with me."

"Do you remember his name?" Rose asked giggling at your escapades.

"Yeah his name was Fancy Pants, I heard he got married a few years ago. He was the only fancy pony that didn't act too fancy." You explain.

"Well not everypony is the same." She says with a smile. After eating, you two exited the bakery.

"Anyway I gotta get back to the flower shop I'll see you later."

You waved goodbye to her. You thought of ways to kill time.

"I guess I could check out the local library." You said aloud.

You spotted a small purple lizard carrying scrolls and quills.

"Uh hey there you need some help?" You asked.

"Uh sure thanks man. My names Spike, yours?" You told him your name and proceed to carry the items.

"So where we going?" You asked.

"The library." He said walking forward.
