It all began once I moved to Ponyville from Baltimare. It wasn't a fancy voyage, but it got me there. I wasn't even used to the luxury of a first class train seat, so I settled for coach. Seeing everything pass by a train window calmed my nerves about moving to a new home, especially since I had no good memory of why in the hay I was moving anyway. Haha, I guess it was just time for me to find a new home again.

The train station in Ponyville was pretty crowded for a Sunday, not to mention chilly. I grabbed my saddle bags and a map so I would be able to find my new home, "1008 Alfalfa Avenue". It sounded nice, but I never like alfalfa, even as a colt.

"Hmm, it seems to only be a few blocks away from here. Good thing, too, otherwise I'd be lugging this thing around all day!" I looked over at the train engineers unloading my luggage into a wagon. My cousin was supposed to come with me so he could help pull the blooming thing, but he had to cancel due to some silly filly problems. I walked over to the large wagon and strapped in. "Alright, here we go!" I gave a shout of motivation as I pulled on the wagon as hard as I could, only to have it stay in place. With a few more full-strength pushes, I quickly learned that my wagon was going absolutely nowhere. That's when I noticed a figure move in front of me. I looked up at a much larger, obviously stronger red stallion looking down at me. "Do you think you can help me?" I asked

"Eeyup." was all he said, biting the strap off of me and we switched places. "Where to?" he asked.

"Uh, 1008 Alfalfa." I fiddled with the map to show him, but he already began the trip. Well, I guess he knows where it is. I trotted up to stay beside him. "My name is..." I stumbled over my name. I was trying to think about it when he interrupted.

"Big Macintosh. Big Mac fer short."

His friendliness eased my concerns a bit. "Ozone," I told him. My name is Ozone.

It wasn't long until we got to the house. It was a nice and it looked pretty roomy. I turned to Big Mac, who by now was out of the wagon's straps, "Thanks a lot for the help. I suppose I should pay you." I turned to grab some bits, but Big Mac put a hoof up to stop me.

"Big brother, there ya are!" a filly's voice called out, and out bounced a little filly with a red mane and yellow coat. "Me 'n' AJ have been lookin' all over fer ya!" She stopped before me and looked me over for a few seconds and a big grin almost covered her entire head, "Hi! I'm Apple Bloom! How do you know mah big brother?"

"Well hey there! Your brother helped me carry this wagon to my new house." I gave her a smile. She was like a little ball of energy, and being around her made me think of times when i was a little colt.

"Eeyup." Big Mac nodded.

"C'mon, Big Bro, we better go find Applejack. She's been throwin' a fit tryn'a find you! We gotta bring in all the apples before night time!" and with that, the two of them left me and my heavy wagon of annoyance. I laughed a bit to myself at how friendly the two ponies I just met were, and I barely even knew them!

I turned to the door of my new home and walked in. Just as the advertisement said, it was already furnished with couches, a couple of tables, and beds in the bedrooms, but that was basically it. "Time to start unpacking, Ozo. Welcome home!"

I was lying on the couch after all the unpacking was done. I would have stayed there for the rest of the evening, but I wanted to explore the village. It was a whole new place to me, and I didn't want to be a shut in like I was growing up in Manehattan. So I grabbed my coin purse full of bits and headed out the door. The sunset was making the sky a bright orange like the city lamps in Baltimare. I passed a few ponies on my way through town and they gave a friendly wave of their hoof or a smile. This place was already feeling like the best choice I've ever made.

Soon, I found myself passing a building made out of... Gingerbread? Which was pretty weird. I looked at the sign, which read "Sugar Cube Corner". I pondered for a few moments and decided to see what the building was all about before they decided to close. I trotted up to the pink stable-style door, opening it with my hoof. Inside were a few mares around my age, and one instantly greeted me, "YIPPEE!! First party guest!" A blur of pink flew towards me, but instantly stopped in front of me, "Wait a minute! I've never seen you before. Are you new? What's your name? Do you like candy?I love candy!AndcupcakesAndcakeAndparties!! You still haven't told me your name!! I'm Pinkie Pie and I threwthispartybecauseit'sSundayandyoushouldalwayspartyonSundaysandyoushouldpartyeveryday!!"

This pink mare was crazy! She was speaking faster than my brain could think, so when I tried to answer, all I could say was "Uhhhhh." That's when a cyan hoof covered her mouth.

"Woah there, Pink. You're gonna freak him out!" A mare with rainbow mane spoke, "But if Pinkie Pie doesn't know you, that means you must be a new pony in town. Who are you anyway?"

"Uh, um, uh," I choked at first, but managed to answer eventually, "My name is Ozone. Yeah, I'm new. I was just seeing what this building was about."

"Oh! It's a bakery!" The pink pony spoke again, "We sell tasty pastries!"

"Riiiiiight, so, I better get going-" I tried to turn for the door, but was instantly grabbed by a set of hooves and pulled further into the room.

"You can't leave! We have to throw you a 'NewPonyInTown Party'! My friend Twilight moved to Ponyville once, so I threw her a party, and because I know EVERYPONY in Ponyville, they all got to meet Twilight and now everypony knows her! Now, everypony can know you, too!"

I had a feeling she was about to start singing at any moment. "It's best not to try and fight Pinkie when she wants to throw you a party." The rainbow pony spoke again, "Besides, it won't be that bad!" I thought about her words and decided to give it a try. How bad could it be?

Every. Pony. In. Ponyville. Was. In. The. Building.

The music was good, the dancing was good (even if I didn't do any of it) but I will admit I liked watching some of the mares dance. Could you really blame me? The rainbow pony, who I later learned was Rainbow Dash, was over at the punch bowl with Pinkie Pie and a few other ponies, one lavender pony with a purple mane looked head-over-hoof drunk off the punch. And then I heard a voice behind me.

"Ah, you must be the new pony Pinkie Pie is throwing this wonderful party for!" I turned to find the source of the voice; such elegance I've never known. "I'm Rarity, and you must be Ozone."

She was so beautiful, I couldn't control myself. My words came out as a slur trying to introduce myself.

"I see you've been hitting the punch." she giggled.

"What? I- No! No no no, I don't drink. I mean, I can, but I don't get drunk." The warmth of embarrassment was creeping up on my back, "I- I mean I can get drunk, but I don't like to." Me making a complete foal of myself made her giggle.

"Well, It's nice to meet you. Welcome to Ponyville!" she smiled and trotted off to her friends at the punch table. Oh Celestia, she was beautiful. Thank you, Pinkie Pie.

The party was over around midnight. I had a few glasses of punch, but not enough to get me completely hammered, so I could still walk straight without falling over more than twice. "Thanks Pinkie Pie!" I called out as I left the gingerbread house- store- thing.

I walked through the streets with Luna's moon as my light to see where I was going. Eventually, I found Alfalfa Avenue and my new home. I stepped inside and trotted up to the bedroom, fell onto the bed and said to myself

"Maybe I'll like it here."

Author's Note

OzoPoni here: Yeah, I know my profile picture is Ozone with a horn and hat and vest which he OBVIOUSLY doesn't have. I just wanted him to enjoy himself with clothes for once so yeah. Ozone is a pure earth pony stallion. I hope I did a good job and I could use feedback for either suggestions or corrections.

This is my first official fanfic, I tried others before and they didn't quite work out. They didn't even get typed. Anyway, chapter one may seem a bit rushed, but I did that so more stuff could be filled in. Besides, he ran into Pinkie Pie, he was bound to meet everyone that day. Anyway, more of "Maybe - The story of Ozone" to come!
