Love Games: The Quest for Mares, Glory, and Honor!

        We stepped off the train into the quaint townstead. This was where Vinyl lived? Interesting. My friend, Starlight Blaze, and I are members of a popular rock band, "The Manticores." Just a week ago, we'd decided to catch a movie after the last concert of our East Equestrian tour. A strange looking, brown pony with crazy red irises set into yellow eyes had been offering a free drawing for a vacation in Ponyville. It wasn't exactly vacation spot of the year, but they did have a friend there that they intended to visit: Vinyl Scratch.

    As soon as we stepped off the station platform, I heard a crash and looked over my shoulder to find starlight covered by a pink ball of fluff which happened to be squealing loudly and jumping up and down. The pink pony it turned out to be finally got off of him and he stood up as calmly as possible, only to fall back over again. While helping him up, an orange coated pony with a stetson hat walked onto the scene and asked "Poor fella never stood a chance against Pinkie. Its a real shame. Y'all doin' ok over there?"

    I tried to respond, but as soon as I opened my mouth, I was cut off by a loud "AAAAHHHHH!!!" and soon found myself in a shockingly similar situation that Star had been in just moments ago. A cyan pegasus with a rainbow mane quickly got off me and lent a hoof to help me up. "Omigosh! Omigosh! Omigosh! Bel Canto! I just crashed into a rock star!" She looked excited, but the blush of embarrassment was evident across her revealingly blue coat. "I'm soooo sorry!"

    I sighed exasperatedly and took her hoof. She helped me up and I gave her a smile. "It's alright. Just don't do it again, ok?"

    She nodded her head and let go of my hoof. Her friend, however, seemed more upset than me. "Ya'll, we're supposed ta be their welcoming party, not fangirl over 'em! What were ya doin' up there anyway? We were supposed ta be waitin' for 'em here!" The orange mare shouted.

    "Yeah, well, I got bored. Waiting is boring!" the pegasus responded with a roll of her eyes.

    "Wait...welcoming party?" I asked. I thought they were paparazzi.

    Applejack sighed. "Vinyl asked us ta welcome y'all ta Ponyville and take y'all over ta Twilight's, and she said she'd be over later ta see ya."

    "Oh, ok. Wait...Twilight? As in Princess Twilight?!"

    "Yeppers Deppers Peppers!" The pink pony responded, enthusiastically bouncing in place. This was going to be interesting.
