Rebels of Equestria

DramCam woke up in his new apartment, on the surpsingly comfortable carpet, next to his empty suitcase. He had spent the night setting up his new home, deciding that if he didn't do it then, he may never do it. Afterwards he slept at first awkwardly but eventually comfortably on the floor. Maybe it was something he was used to.

Still, he would eventually need to buy a real bed, or at lease a mattress. He would make sure to go out and find one today. Until then he was starving and decided to go out to eat, to explore the town a bit. DramCam got ready ("ready" consisted of a shower, and fixing his slicked hair), donned his trademark leather jacket and sunglasses, and headed out.

DramCam walked through the streets, happily observing the passerbys of the town. They all seemed so cheerful. He wondered why, it was strange to not see one person look bored or upset or have any negative emotion whatsoever.

Three seconds later, he found out why. He was ambushed by a blur of pink, tackled to the ground in a rather humorous Whinnie-The-Pooh-like fashion. DramCam, however, did not find this as funny as it may have appeared. He was about to snap at the culprit, until their face appeared in his vision. Bright, sparkling blue eyes surrounded by a grinning pink face stared at him in joy.  Her pink, curly mane bounced as she spoke with unending energy. "HI! Never seen you before around here! My name's Pinkie Pie! What's yours? Wait, I bet I can guess it! John? Ned? Tom? Frank? Sam? Mike? Weeeeell??? You gonna tell me or not??"

"Um.." DramCam was completely lost for words. He'd never seen such insane levels of energy in anypony before. Unable to think of anything else to say, he simply answered her question. "My name is DramCam."

"WOW! That's a funny name! Never heard one like that before! Well DramCam, I'm so glad I met you because now we can be best friends! Do you like parties??"

DramCam smiled, trying to respond at Pinkie's pace. "I sure do."

"That's GREAT! Because I LOVE parties! You should come to a party I'm throwing this afternoon! Here's an invitation." Pinkie Pie swiftly grabbed a colorful piece of paper from... somewhere... I dunno... and gave it to DramCam. He took the invitation and stored it safely in his jacket pocket.

Pinkie Pie continued talking faster than sunlight could reach equestria. "I can't wait to see you there. I can't wait to tell all my friends that I made a NEW friend!" the pink mare paused for exactly one millisecond. "Hey, are you hungry?"

DramCam remembered the whole reason he was out and about was to find a place to eat breakfast. "Yeah, actually."

"GREAT! Come with me! I work at the best bakery in town!"

DramCam then reluctantly followed the crazy earth pony towards th--"Oh come ON already, Narrator!"

But Pinkie, I need to tell them what happens next!

"They KNOW! Ahem. DrammyCammy came with me to Sugarcube Corner and ate some delicious shortcake for breakfast and he loved it and he ate it 'til he was stuffed and then he said he's gonna visit my bakery every day! And we talked and talked and got to know each other and now we're best friends! THE END!"

Um...

What she said.

Ivy woke up, dazed and disoriented and confused, unsure at first of where she was. It took a moment for her to remember, Oh yeah, I moved. She wasn't sure what made her so tired last night, but she was grateful that at least she made it to her awesome new apartment instead of falling asleep in some ditch. She lazily got up from the mattress she brought with her and swaggered into the bathroom to get ready to start the day. Today she would go exploring and meet her new neighbors.

She finished up, more awake now, and took off for the skies through the open window, heading for the town. She zoomed through the sky at a speed that may rival Pinkie Pie talking. So... pretty dang fast.

She flew over the city, slowing down to absorb more of it. A small group of fillies rushed through the streets towards Sweet Apple Acres, wearing strange capes that had the letters CMC sewn on them. A white unicorn mare with an electric blue mane and funky purple sunglasses was rolling a large cart of music equipment into a studio. A stallion that resembles a 1950's greaser was leaving a bakery looking quite satisfied. A cyan blue stallion was walking the streets talking to a camera lens... Wait, what?

Out of all the strange things Ivy saw in the past minute and a half, somehow this was what grabs her attention. She flew lower to get a closer look, and overheard the conversation being held between a stallion and his camera.

"...ell guys, the moment is finally here. I've moved to Ponyville!" The strange pony with a "play button" cutie mark swung the camera around to capture the busy streets of Ponyville. "Nice, right? Anyway, this is where I'll be doing all my new videos. I think it's a better choice anyway. Los Pegasis was too noisy and crowded, y'know?" he paused. "Alright guys. Subscribe and I'll love ya forever. I'm The Amazing Speff..." the stallion held a hoof to his temple in salute. "...and I'll see you next time!"

The "Amazing Speff" powered down his camera and continued walking with it strapped safely to his foreleg. Ivy, dying of curiosity, swooped in before he got too far. "Hey!" she shouted.

Speff jumped a bit at the suddden exclamation. "Who...?" he turned around to see the mint green, red-maned pegasis floating above him. "Oh. Hi there!"

"Hey, so what's up with you talking to the camera? If you don't mind me asking." Ivy laughed.

"Oh, that?" Speff laughed in reply. "I was just vlogging."

"Vlogging?" Ivy inquired.

"Video blogging. For YouTube."

"Ohhhhhhh! Okay, I get it. Cool." Ivy smiled. "So you're name is the 'Amazing Speff'?"

"Well, on YouTube, yeah. But it's just Speff in real life."

"Okay. I'm Ivysaur." Ivy said with a grin.

Speff couldn't help but laugh. "Like the Pokém--?"

"Yeah, yeah. I know," obviously Ivysaur has had this conversation before. "just call me Ivy."

"Alright. Nice to meet you, Ivy." Speff stuck his hoof out. Ivy, rather than giving a hoofshake, instead gave the stallion a hoof-bump. Speff had a look of vague suprise for hald a second, but it disappeared and was replaced with a grin of his own. He found it strange how all these ponies he kept meeting had such odd names.

"Well, see you around, Ivy."

"Later, Speff!" Ivy shot into the air and flew off.

I'm doing pretty good with this whole friends thing, Speff thought to himself, and headed home. He had some unpacking to to.
