Friends that I never had...

8:00 am, Canterlot Castle

You woke up with a thirst that couldn't be quenched even if you had drank the whole ocean! Looking around you realized that the events of yesterday weren't a dream at all. Luna was still sleeping at your side and you took a moment to take in what happened the night before. You looked at her and figured that she looked like a little angel curled in a ball. You were still naked from last nights 'ordeal' so you got out of bed and threw your clothes back on. Softly tiptoeing over to the other side of the bed, you leaned over and kissed Luna on the cheek and walked to the exit of her room. Luna's moon had fallen and Celestia had raised the sun, judging by the grumbling sound your stomach made, it was still breakfast. To bad I can't eat breakfast with Luna...

You had another meet up with the orchestra today because the meet up were a biweekly thing, twice a week every week. You knew that they weren't going to get the best idea of you since you didn't come yesterday. In approximately two hours was when the meeting was going to take place so you had a little free time and decided to go get some food first and go out for a walk. From what it smelled like the dining hall was not far from here, so you walked out the room and blindly followed the scent of french toast and what seemed to be apple juice. As the smell go stronger and stronger your stomach started to groan a lot more. Finally you found the source of the smell which turned out to be just regular eggs getting pan-fried...

You walked into the dining hall and sat down at a small table, as you just seemingly waited there for no reason you began to think about the welcoming party back in ponyville. Everypony there was so happy to have you there and you had a great time there. But here at the current moment this place was kind of barren, except for a few of the guards that were on their break and some civilian ponies. You were famished and after seamlessly wasting about 15 minutes just sitting there trying to fully wake up you were ready more than ever to get your coffee and pastries. "Erm, excuse me sir, can I get some coffee and some apple pie?" Seeing as everyone was drinking something to (presumably coffee) you wanted some too.

"Sure just wait a second and ill bake some fresh pie." the baker said with a happy tone. I guess doing what you love is the key to true happiness. After a few minutes of waiting the cook called for you to come and pick up your coffee and snack. You walked back to your seat and took a bite of the pie and your mouth exploded from all of the the flavor that was in the little piece of pie.

Oh my Celestia! This is fucking amazing! Eventually after you were done obsessing over the pie you just had you sipped on some of the coffee. The black coffee had given you the chills as you sipped on it, coffee wasn't really your drink of choice but on a lazy morning like that day it was a must! After Finishing your coffee and pie you stood up from your seat only to see Luna at the entrance of the dining hall.

"Thank you, for last night..." Whispered Luna.

"It was my pleasure!" Once again taking a knee. "So are you going to get anything to eat?" You asked.

"I'm not going to eat because the daytime isn't really my time to eat." She explained.

"Oh well... I need to go the royal ballroom for the meeting I was going to have. I guess we can get together sometime later for some tea." You waved good bye and started to leave out of the hall.

11:45 am, Royal Ballroom

You walked in the room and started to look around at the instruments. See that no one was there you decided to sit down and play some piano while waiting for the others to show up. Gracefully you start to press the key as to try and remember some of the things you learned as a little boy. The memories were oh so faint but you managed to sit there and practice for a bit until you felt confident enough to try some of your favorite pieces.

(Stop video at 2:54)

As you slipped a note you felt as if you failed the whole piece, and stopped playing. "Wow I never knew a rookie could do this good..." You were startled by the voice and looked to your right and there at the door stood one of the members to the orchestra.

"I had only learned what my father taught me." You sighed in sorrow of the painful last memory you had with your father.

"He must have been a professional! Oh i'm sorry I didn't introduce myself my name is Phillip but you can call me Phil, and your name is?" He asked.

"My name is Anon the only human in Equestria and the newest member of the orchestra!" You said proudly.

"Ah so your that new member that skipped out on yesterday's meeting..." Phillip gave you a dirty look and it slowly faded away into a smile. "No pressure or anything but why didn't you come yesterday? I mean it's not really the best way to start your career with not attending your first day..."

"Well you see I wasn't really loaded with bits when I first arrived to Equestria." Throwing him a face palm.

"Oh well I understand now, but how did you get here?" As soon as he asked another one of the members arrived, this time they weren't very happy to see you.

"Oh hey Octavia, this is our newest member of the orchestra! His name is Anon" Phil exclaimed.

"You mean the one that missed the meet up yesterday?" Octavia gave a face that was clearly not impressed already which you kind of figured was going to happen to just about everypony who saw you at today's meet up.

"He had good reasoning you know!" Phil defended you, as you were a newcomer.

Damn she's kind of tough to get through to, It's going to be a fun challenge getting to know her better...

You had began to inspect one of the instruments that were just calling you from the way they looked. Slowly you picked up the violin and set your bow across the strings. Beginning to play you zoned out anything that could and would distract you from your time of peace. A few minutes of gentle and harmonic movements of your hand and wrist your feeling of freedom slowly faded away as you tried to mix a sad ending into your solo. You finished to only have noticed the rest of the members and the conductor had arrived.

"That was quite the performance you had right there." Said the conductor as he inspected your skills.

"Thank you, uh..." You didn't remember him ever telling you his name.

"Jake, Sir Jake. But please just call me Jake only when we are at a formal event." The conductor said.

"Nice to meet you Jake!" You noticed that there were about 3 other ponies a part of the orchestra that must have arrived after you zoned out.

"You too Anon. Since you weren't here yesterday I need you to introduce yourself to the rest of the group." Jake said.

"Uh well okay... Hey everypony my name is Anon, as all of you know all already know I wasn't here yesterday." Octavia suddenly gave you a look disappointment.

Well shit I didn't know that being here was important enough to make her like that.

"The only reason I did come yesterday was because I didn't have enough bits for the trip to Canterlot. I hope all of you understand." You apologized

"Well as long as we have a proper explanation, it's all fine that you weren't here yesterday as long as you showed up today!" Jake said cheerfully. "Now, everypony we are going to do another performance this sunday in manehatten so I need all of you to practice the symphony called 'Equestrian dreams'. It should be the third symphony by Alex M." Jake had announced. With that everypony started to gather their materials and leave.

"You don't have any place to stay do you?" Phil asked.

"No, not in Canterlot." You replied.

Phil was set. "Then you can stay with me until next month."

"Really? That's really kind of you to do Phil!"

"No problem rookie! I've got somethings to show you when you and me get to my place. It's nothing special really it will only be the guest room." Phil gestured you to follow him outside and you did so.
