Chapter 2

Gladly I made it to Town Hall just in time. I walked in and spotted a mare at the front desk “Hello Miss, I just arrived and I was wondering is there a place for sale I can buy?”

She looked at me for a second before saying “Let me see...” After a few minutes of looking through some files and paperwork from the cabinet behind her, she turned around and said “ There's only one place for sale.”

I smiled politely “ I'll take it! How much is it?”

She nodded and said “Well... currently it's 1500 bits.”

I gulped as I thought “Wow thats a steal...” then I asked “Could I see the house?”

She slowly shook her head and said “I'm sorry, but its almost night. It's too dark outside, and I would prefer to show you during the day. How about I get somepony to show you tomorrow morning?”

I nodded and said “Yeah, ok. I will come back tomorrow morning.” I waved her goodbye and she smiled and waved back.
I stopped dead on my tracks and I thought "Wait, where will I stay?" I turned around to ask. "I'm sorry ma'am , but are there any hotels to stay for the night?

The mare on the desk apparently didn't know of any hotels, because she just shrugged and shook her head slowly.
"Don't worry about it, thanks anyways, I'll just come back tomorrow." And with that, I walked out, and closed the door behind me.

When I got outside I saw a group of ponies walking away from a tree with a small dragon.I decided to walk over to them to see if they knew of any place I could stay for the night.

The first couple of ponies shook their heads, but one pony answered me. A white unicorn mare, to be precise.
“Yes, I do know. If you go straight on this street where we are headed and turn left on the third block, you will be able to spot a small hotel, it is nothing luxurious, but I am sure it will suffice for the night.”

I gave her a quick bow and said “Thank you Miss...”

Then she smiled and said ” Rarity, My name is Rarity.”

I smiled back, she was breathtaking.”Wow, that's a really beautiful name. Its nice to meet you miss Rarity. My name is Zanti.”
Rarity put her hoof on her chin and looked at me quizzically. “Zanti? That is quite the strange name you have, darling. I can't say I ever heard it before.”

I chuckled and said “Yeah I know, everypony says the same thing. But I like it. Anyways, thanks for the information. I had a very long and tiring train ride, and I must rest.”

"Alright, good night, Mister Zanti"
I started heading for the hotel. Behind me I could hear a pony walk up to Rarity and say “Who was that?”
Rarity replied “I don't know, Pinkie, it seems to be a new pony in town. Hes a stallion. He was just asking for a hotel nearby.”

Pinkie gasped and exclaim “A New Pony!?”
Soon enough, somepony opened a window and shouted “Pinkie Pie, please be quiet! Some ponies have to work tomorrow!”
Pinkie giggled and whispered loudly “Oops, sorry!”

Thanks to Rarity's instructions, I soon reached the hotel. Not wanting to waste any more time I checked in as fast as I could, walked up to my room and laid down on the bed.

“Wow... what a day. I am really tired. I better get some sleep. Tomorrow seems to be an even more tiring day” I thought to myself, with a long sigh, before getting under the blankets, turning off the light, closing my eyes and drifting off to sleep.

Chapter 3

I woke up in the middle of the morning. Judging by the sun out of the window it was late enough to say I had good sleep, and early enough to know I could take the most out of this day. I stretched my body out and wiped my eyes trying to fully wake up. I thought to myself “Mm mm that was a good night sleep. Alright, time to go get some breakfast and then go to see that mare again, so I can finally go check that house out.”

I got up, showered and began to lock up. So I locked the doors, closed the curtains and opening a small lock box in my luggage. I checked to see how many bits I had left.

"Hmmm lets see.... 7000 bits thats more than enough for breakfast and even the house! Hopefully, I'll have enough to spend on some basic furniture."Well!" I said to no one but myself as if to boost my determination "Lets do just that!”

I packed my stuff and checked to make sure I had everything. After I grabbed my bags and checked out I went looking around for a place to eat.

I thought as I walked through the streets of Ponyville “Hmm I wonder if that gingerbread house I saw the other day serves breakfast... sounds like a good place to start, better go check.”

After looking around for it for a few minutes, I finally found it. Not like it was something easy to lose...
Taking a deep breath, I walked inside. To my surprise there was no pony inside, so I walked up to the counter and rang the bell, but nothing happened. I decided to just ask. “Hello? Is anypony here?”

Nothing. Nopony replied, so I turned around to leave, but right before I could start heading for the door, I heard a happy and energetic voice

“Hi there! Welcome to SugarCube Corner. What can I get you?”
I turn around and see a pink earth pony with a puffy mane and tail that looked like cotton candy, light blue eyes, and 3 balloons as her cutie mark.

“Oh yeah. I was wondering if this place served breakfast.”

The pink pony smiled apologetically and then said "Sorry, but currently, the kitchen is closed because the bosses aren't around. So we can just serve you some muffins.”

I smiled back reassuringly “That will be enough, don't worry. May I have a blueberry muffin?”
The mare behind the counter smiled widely and nodded “Sure thing! I will be right back, go have a seat at one of the tables over there.”

She left so fast all I saw was a pink blur. Shrugging I did as told and went over to the nearest table and sat down.
After couple of minutes the pink earth pony sat a tray with a blueberry muffin in front of me. I gave her a big smile “Thanks, it smells delicious.”

She smiled back and said "And it tastes just as good!”

I grinned “I'll be the judge of that...” I took a bite from the muffin and my eyes widened.

The pink earth pony tilted her head in confusion “So... how is it?”

"It's... its..." I said, in shock "its...DELICIOUS!” I exclaimed with a big smile on my face as I ate the rest of the muffin at once.

The pink pony smiled and bounced up and down “I told you so!" Suddenly, she stopped and looked at me "Oh, by the way, my name is Pinkie Pie.”

I chewed the last piece of the excellent muffin “Pinkie Pie... is Pinkie really your first name.”

Pinkie smiled “Well... Actually, my whole name is Pinkamena Diane Pie, but my friends call me Pinkie.”

I smiled “That's cool my name is Zanti.”

Pinkie giggled “Zanti? that's funny! Who chose it, your mother or your father? Oh, oh, oh, or maybe your godfather or godmother?”

My face went to from happy to sad in a second.

She must've noticed that, because she stopped at once "Oh... I'm sor-”

I cut her off before she could apologize as I put up a the best fake smile I could “I-its ok, Pinkie. It was my mother. She chose it....”

That didn't change her sad face... I didn't like seeing her that sad, so I smiled as big as I could and said "Come on, smile again please. Its alright, really!”

Then she gave me the biggest smile I have ever seen in my entire life. It made me feel happy again. So much, in fact, that I just started laughing. Her smiling face just filled me with so much joy. Soon enough, though, the laughter subsided and I asked as serious as I could “How much for that muffin?
”
She gave a smile “ Just 15 bits.”
I gave her 30 bits then I got up and started for the door but she stopped me.
“Wait you gave me way too much!”
I gave a quick turn and smiled "The extra 15 is your tip. Have good day, Pinkamena!” I walked out the store and headed straight for the Town Hall.

Chapter 4

I went inside and spotted the mare from yesterday behind the desk I waved and walked over to her.
“Good morning Miss.” I smiled. She looked at me and smiled warmly “Good morning I already have somepony ready to show you the house.”

Then I hear a young mare's voice from behind me “are you here about the house?” she asked. I turn around to see a gray maned mare wearing a pair of glass smiling “Hello there welcome to Ponyville I am the Mayor, Mayor Mare.”

I tried not to burst out in laughter after hearing that, I kept my composure spoke “Thank Miss Mare. My name is Zanti and yes I am here about the house.”
She turned toward the exit “Well let's get going best not to keep you waiting any longer.” I grinned and bowed “Well lead the way Miss Mare.” She chuckled and headed outside. I followed behind her.

When we arrived I was pleased to see how big the house was. I first noticed the freshly cut lawn, only because there was an amazingly constructed stone walkway that lead to the front door.
My eyes widened as I gazed at the house “Wow this place is huge!” She nodded “Yes! Now although the backyard is a tad bit small. Its a two bedroom, two bathroom duplex that is placed on top of each other. The kitchen is located downstairs. There is a balcony on the back of the house as well as patio.”

I thought to myself “This place is perfect. I could use the bottom floor as my house and the top floor can be counseling room.”
She turned to me “Would you like to look inside?” I responded so quick she barley got her question out. “Yes!” She jumped a little “Oh ok!” We walked to the door and went inside. I was completely speechless.

I saw the living room which was amazing! The walls were a beautiful shade of white and the floor was wooden. It was nicely polished. Looking at it closer I realized it was mahogany, one of my favorites.
“This is amazing!” I said with so much excitement in my voice. She waved at me and I looked at her “Come this way. I will show you the bedrooms.” We went to the left of the house and walked down a hallway. They were three doors down the way.

“The doors on the left and the right are the bedrooms; and the door and the end of the hallway is the bathroom.” She showed me both the bedrooms. They were both were a little bigger than the average room. She showed me the bathroom and it was normal. A standard bathroom, everything was common.

Then she showed me to the kitchen which was a long way from the front door. It looked really nice. It had black plastic counter tops, black wooden cabinets and a metal sink.
There was a door with a window that lead to the patio. We went outside to check it out. It was made of wood, which worried me, but Mayor Mare saw my face and assured me not to worry. “Don't worry, the wood is waterproof and it last a good 3 years before you have to replace it.”

My worries were gone after hearing that, “Ok lets take a look upstairs.” She smiled and we went back inside. We were heading up the wooden stairway when we got up the top of the stairs. Immediately I felt my mood change from how I felt about the house downstairs.

The left side of the wall was painted green and the right side black. It looked just awful. Then she showed me the bathroom which look the same as the one downstairs “Thank Luna.” I whispered to myself.
Then we walked out onto the balcony and view was breathtaking.

“So will you take it?” Mayor Mare questioned. I thought for a moment, wondering if it was really worth it and happily answered “Yes, I will take it!”
“Perfect! Lets head back to Town Hall to take care of finances and to finalize the paperwork.” I nodded and we headed back to Town Hall.

When we returned, we went through the paper and I noticed something interesting “It said right here I can buy the whole property and not just the house.” She took a look at what I was talking about and nodded “ Yes you can, but you will have to pay total of 3500 bits.”
I calculated in my head to see if I could afford that with the other things I had to buy. After a few minutes, I grinned “I will buy the whole property.”

She was shocked “ A-are sure?!” I giggle at the expression on her face “Yes. If I do, it says right here, I don't have to pay a monthly fee. Instead all payments from the house just get added to my taxes each year.”
She took another look and nodded “Ok, that will be 3500 bits.” I took out a bag of bits from my saddlebag and gave her the money. I signed the deed, then the Mayor gave the deed and the paperwork to the mare behind the desk and she filed it away in the cabinet behind her.

I shook her hoof “Thank you for your help Mayor.” She smiled “Your welcome. Also there will be some movers at your new house to get set you up with some basic furniture for your living room, bedrooms and kitchen consider it a gift from citizens of Ponyville.”
I was shocked, but then in an instant it all turned to pure joy I pulled her close and gave a big hug. She was surprised at first but then hugged back. “Thank you so much I really appreciate it.”
She shook her head “Don't just thank me, thank everypony in Ponyville.” I nodded then I thought “I have to make sure to pay everypony back in full.”

I waved goodbye to the Mayor Mare and the Mare behind the desk. They both waved back. I stepped outside and thought to myself “Ok before I head home I need to go to a paint shop. Then get the things I need for my counseling room.”
I tried to remember how many bits I had left. “Oh yea I have 3470 bits left, that should be enough.” I said to myself. I looked around and spotted the clock tower that said two fifty. I thought to myself “Yea I got time. Lets get to it.”

I asked around so that I could find the shops I was looking for. A very polite stallion showed me exactly where to find what I was looking for so I went to purchase each item quickly. The furniture shop was my first stop. I had to find the things I need for my counseling room.
I found a good furniture set and went straight to the paint shop to see if they paint rooms. After receiving confirmation that they did I picked a good shade of white for them to paint my counseling room for tomorrow.

I walked outside to look at the clock tower, it was almost 5 o'clock. I was feeling tired after all that running around so I headed home. By the time I got to my house it was sundown. I walked up to my front door only to hear cheering and a roar of congratulations when I unlocked and opened the door.

“Surprise!” startled with excitement I looked around to see a bunch of ponies standing around my living room. There were to couches sitting across from each other with a table in the middle. Looking around and seeing how nice everything looked I couldn't help but be grateful. Suddenly a pony just rushed right in front of me, when my eyes finally focused from all the commotion I realized it was Pinkiamena. The very beautiful Pinkiamena.

“So do you like it?” She asked quickly. I had a confused look on my face “like what?”
She giggled and snorted “Your welcome party silly.” After realizing what she asked I gently hit the side of my head with my hoof feeling really silly as she so heavenly put it “Oh yea! I like it. Wait, why did you throw me a welcome party?”
“Well after you left I realized you were a new pony I decided to throw you a party because I always throw parties for the new ponies. It helps to feel welcomed and meet new people. Plus, its also a passion of mine. I'm Ponyvilles Party Planner Extraordinare!”

She had said the sentence so fast I thought she broke a record “Well Ok! Thank you!” I said as enthusiastically as she did.
She Smiled “Your welcome. Let me introduce you to my friends.” I nodded as she bounced toward 5 other mares Pinkiamena got their attention and then she introduce me.

“These are my friends ,Applejack.” She pointed to the orange earth pony with 3 red apples for her cutie mark. She also had a blond mane and was wearing a stetson. “Howdy nice to meet ya.” She said having a southern accent.
“Nice to meet you to Applejack.” Then Pinkimena pointed to her next friend “This is Rainbow Dash.”
Rainbow Dash was a clayed blue Pegasus with a cloud and a rainbow lighting shooting out of it. She also had a rainbow colored mane. “Nice to meet ya welcome to Ponyville.”

“Thanks, nice to meet you too Rainbow Dash.” Then the next pony that walked up to me was a pure white unicorn with 3 blue diamonds as her cutie mark. “Hello again dear nice to meet you again.” She said in a rather elegant voice.
“Its nice to meet you again too Rarity.” Then Pinkiamena spoke “So this is the Stallion you helped last night.” Rarity nodded

Then a lavender unicorn with Star for her cutie mark walked up to me “Its nice to meet you ,my name is Twilight Sparkle.” I looked at her and then I realized it “Hey... I have see you before yesterday to ran pass me and put me in a daze and then I got trample by a group of mares.”

Twilight blushed “Whoops sorry about that.” I shook my head ”Naw its alright.”
Then look at the last of her friends a yellow Pegasus with a pink mane thats lighter than Pinkiamena's and had 3 butterflies for a cutie mark.

“Hello miss.” I smiled at her part of her face was covered by her mane “Hello...I'm Fluttershy.”
She spoke rather softly but I heard her “Hello my name is Zanti. Its a pleasure to meet you all.” I did a small bow. Pinkiamena pop of the blue “Alright, now lets party!”

We all cheered and then enjoyed the party. After a few hours everypony helped clean up and then left. “Pinkamena wait!” She stopped and told her friends to head on back and walked up to me “Yes Zanti?” and without warning I gave her hug “Thanks for the amazing party.”

She hugged back “No problem have good night Zanti.” She headed for the door.
“I will you too.” I waved goodbye and she waved back. I closed the door and locked it. Then I headed to the bathroom to take a bath.
Then I headed for one of the bedrooms and got under the blankets “Today was perfect time for some rest.” I closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep.

Author's Note

Sry the 4th Chapter took so long

Chapter 5

I awoke the next morning yawning loudly, looking out the window the sun was shining bright. “Mmm that was a great night and some amazing sleep… welp I should get up and start my day.”

I get out of bed and stretch yawning loudly in the process, I make my bed them walk to the bathroom brushing my teeth. Afterword I head to the front door and when I answer it, I find a mare with cans of paint and primer wearing reddish orange overalls with paint brushes in her pocket and rollers in a bag “oh hello, I’m Fresh Coat, I was sent to paint your rooms and walls.”

I smile and hug her”hello and thank you, upstairs is awful.” Fresh Coat laughs. “Come on, no way it’s that bad.” She smiled. I smiled and showed her upstairs then I pointed at the wall. Her smile disappeared and she looked at me with a determined and serious look “leave and come back later, in a few hours this abomination shall be cleansed.” I nod looking a bit terrified “alright I will be back later, also when I come back I will treat you to lunch.” Fresh Coat looked back at me with a smile “awesome can’t wait~ now if you will excuse me” Smiling pulling out some paper “I have painting to do~” as she starts lying down the paper I walked the front door to my house smiling “ok need to kill time what should I do?”

I decided on going to town, as i walked i started to get lost in thought "i wonder if I could find Pinkamena she is so cute and her flank is so..." blushing, I then shook my head “ok stop having naughty thoughts about that beautiful sexy pink mare…” I look down blushing, as I walked to town I bump into somepony.

I look up and see Applejack scowling at me “hey watch where you’re going partner.” She was blushing a bit, I looked at her looking apologetic “I’m sorry Applejack I was distracted…” blushing a bit Applejack looked at me a little confused “by what?” she asked looking a bit concerned

I look at her speaking in a low voice “Pinkamena’s sexy body…” Applejack blushed so hard she was as red as her big brother “oh my wait…” she grin standing next to me putting her hoof around my neck “you got a crush on Pinkie partner~?” I looked down red as an apple nodding silently.

Applejack chuckled “well partner I’m rooting for you just don’t break her heart or I’m going to have to buck you into next week~.” She said with a smile it sent a shiver down my spine I smiled nodding chuckling nervously “Got it I won’t let her feel that pain….” Looks down feeling down

.

Applejack looked worried wanting to ask what’s wrong but decided she shouldn’t “you ok there?” I fix myself trying to give her a genuine smile “yea I’m fine.” Applejack nods smiling “ok if you’re sure then I have to go oh yea Pinkie should be a Sugarcube Corner.” She pat him on the back “well later have a good day~” she walks off towards the market place I smile and head for Sugarcube Corner as I saw the giant gingerbread house coming into view I saw a griffon flying off looking sad and upset so I go inside and see Pinkamena and Rainbow Dash together drinking fruit punch as I approached them they smiled and waved.

“Hi Zanti what brings you here?” Rainbow smiled offering a hoofbump I smiled returning the gesture “Hi Rainbow…” Rainbow chuckled “just call me Dash that’s what all my friends call me.” I nodded “Ok Dash I’m actually here for Pinkamena.” Dash grinned as she hovered around him as if sizing him up “hmm yea you seem good enough I will give you two some alone time.” She whispered in his ear before leaving “she a hooful but she is worth it trust me don’t chicken out.” She walked off smiling.

I on the other hoof was blushing hard as Pinkamena grabbed me “oooh oooh I know where we can go~” she smiles carrying me all the way to her room at blinding speed it was almost like teleporting, before I knew it I was in front of her blushing while she was lying down on her bed on her side facing me, I could see her clit it was pretty big and stiff looking in my mind I was thinking “wait, why can I see it? Normally can’t see mare keep it hidden with all their other parts only showing when they need to use the restroom or are in heat... wait does she”

“Hello Zanti…~” Pinkie called out as I was staring off into space lost in my thoughts, shaking my head I answered back “oh yea sorry got lost in thought.” I chuckled nervously while Pinkamena laughed and snorted with me. “Yea that happens to me sometimes but what did you want to talk about?” I looked at her nervously not sure how to say it “Pinkamena…. I…I like you a lot and uh… Will you be my Marefriend?!?” I closed my eyes lowering my head blushing red as a beet waiting for her possible rejection, after a few minutes I look up at her and she is fast asleep I hanged my head in defeat as I tucked her in and left the room as I head down the stairs back in the front of the shop Dash was waiting for me smiling “so how did it go?” she asked eager to hear the details. I told her what happened and she fell on the ground laughing harder and harder till she was tearing up from the pain.

I felt even worst when Dash stood up wrapping her hooves around me “well cheer up there is always next time~” I looked up at her smiling weakly “yea your right I’m going to head home.” Dash nodded and flew off as I walked how when I got back inside I went straight up stair and the horrible wall that once was green was now a beautiful shade of white. I was in a state of awe when Fresh Coat walked up to me covered in dry paint “you like?” she asked with a cocky grin

Still looking stunned I responded “Like it I don’t like it I FUCKING LOVE IT!!!” I hug her with all my might saying thank you over and over again. She tapped my back begging for me to let her go after putting her down I blushed for a moment “sorry about that hey you still want that lunch my treat.” Fresh Coat smiled and nodded as they headed out to eat. As we walked into town I began to think how bad I felt about not being able to tell Pinkamena how I feel oh well always next time~

Meanwhile back in Pinkie’s room

Pinkie is rubbing her hard clit and wet pussy as she sleeps neighing lustfully as she talked in her sleep “Zanti…ahhh pls more I want you pls…” while she was dreaming Miss Cake was listening blushing with her pussy dripping a bit “oh my Pinkie…”

Chapter 1

I was getting some sleep during my long train ride to Ponyville when I woke up to a soft spoken voice saying “Wake up, Mister.” I opened my eyes to see a little colt in front of me. I rubbed my eyes with my hooves trying to gain consciousness when he said “We are about to arrive. You should get ready.”

I got up from my seat to stretch my tired and stiff limbs. Then, looking back at the little colt, I said “Thanks kid.” The little colt smiled and returned to his seat and sat next to his mother.

I sat back down waiting for the train to finally reach its destination, Ponyville train station.
I gathered my bags and and headed for the exit.

“Welcome to Ponyville!” I was happily greeted by a pony who was standing at exit, asking every pony for their tickets.
I reached into my bag and grabbed mine as I approached and handed it to him.

He inspected it for a second before smiling warmly and saying “ Enjoy your stay here in Ponyville!”
I smiled back at him and left the train. I decided to look around for a bit, trying to see what was I getting into. Ponyville was such a small town. Nothing that i was use to, not much to do, but it was quiet and peaceful.

I liked that aspect about my new hometown.Realizing there wasn't much more to look at, I started walking towards the Town Hall so I could find a place to stay. Maybe there was somepony I could talk to and ask about houses for sale. Thinking about it now, I probably should have done that before I got here, oh well. I was heading out when I suddenly heard a loud screaming coming from the left of me.

When I looked to see what all the commotion was about I spotted a group of mares chasing a lavender mare who had a baby dragon on her back.
Before I could even run away to avoid the stampede, the mare with the dragon on her back passed me by causing me to spin out of control.

I was dazed for a moment and tried to recollect myself, however I had not time to do so because the next thing you now the group of mares that was chasing her trampled me! It took me a few minutes to get up and come back to my senses. Once I did, I looked up at the sky and noticed the sun was starting to set.

I shook off the dust and tried not to think about the pain in my limbs as I rushed towards the Town Hall hoping I could get there before they closed. As I galloped there I thought about what just happened and thought "Jeez the mares in this town sure are weird..."
