When 3 pegasi move to Ponyville, wanting a change of scenery from Cloudsdale, a change of scenery is certainly what they get. When they encounter a certain cyan pegasus, however, things quickly go from interesting, to flat out awkward.

3 pegasi from Cloudsdale decide to have a change of location, so they move into the quiet town of Ponyville.

But for one of them, a pegasus named Swift Wind, an encounter with a close friend from foalhood really has an impact on him.

Much teasing and awkwardness ensues.

Contains strong language, adult humour and fluff. Also takes place during season 4, just after Rainbow Falls. So fair to say, there will be spoilers.

Arrival

"Nuh-uh." A red pegasus with a spiky orange and blue mane, and red tinted shades argues. Name: Beat Thunderwing.

"Would too! She raises our sun each day for crying out loud!" A cobalt blue pegasus retorts. He has a messy mane, cyan at the top, yellow hanging down. He has brown eyes and an equally brown scarf. Name: Swift Wind.

"You have any idea how ridiculous you're sounding right about now? She might be all powerful, but she can never defeat a fully grown dragon in a one on one showdown. Dragons can breathe fire, and would burn Celestia alive."

"That's the thing. "Dragons can breathe fire, and therefore would win in a fight." Breathing fire is all they can do. Sure they might be able to fight with their claws and stuff like that, but Princess Celestia? She can teleport, give us the light of day, use telekinesis, the list goes on! Besides, everypony knows dragons fall to ice. And I'm pretty sure Princess Celestia, in her millennia long life, has at one point, taken up studying elemental spells. The power of Celestia, combined with ice, would make a dragon kneel to her. I'm sorry, but it's the truth!"

".....How would you possibly know that, Swift?"

"I've learned a lot in my own time, while you were out, trying to flirt with like a million mares at once."

"H-hey!! Not true!"

"Beat, a few days ago, I witnessed you try to flirt with Misty Fly. A Wonderbolt."

"W-well....she was probably busy!" He tries to argue back.

"She laughed, and just flew on. Brutal, but true. Always aiming high, aren't you?"

"Well it's not like you had a chance with any of your foalhood friends. Couldn't even get the guts to ask you-know-who out."

".....You seriously had to bring that up, didn't you?"

"Can't come back after that one, eh?"

"Would both of you just shut up arguing? I get that both of your love lives suck, but there are some ponies that don't like to hear about it. That includes me. Now zip the lips. Both of you." Another pegasus flying in front of them shoots back at them both. She's navy blue, with a long flowing dark purple mane. She's wearing a cloak with a hood that covers up most of her body, including the cutie mark. But there are two holes cut for her wings. Her irises are a light blue. Name: Midnight Aurora. "Besides, we're here. Ponyville. Our new home."

The three pegasi land on a cloud just above the quiet town, and observe it, watching ponies go about their everyday lives. Whether it be an apple stand in the market being run by an orange mare, or a grey pegasus mare swerving all over the place, delivering mail. This place certainly has a lot of cheery ponies.

"Ponyville.....why here again?" Beat asks, tilting his head.

"Because we wanted a change of scenery, and this place was the best place I could think of. Besides, Las Pegasus doesn't seem like the best place for living, and Canterlot......well there's too many snobs there." Midnight comments.

"Agreed." Swift says, nodding. "Biggest snob of them all: Prince Blueblood. Wouldn't like to meet him on a bad morning."

"I would." Beat retorts. "So I can buck him in the face."

"You'd probably get arrested by the royal guard if you did that." Midnight tells him.

"That's true. Blueblood might be a snob. But he's got royal status, and can use that any time. Mainly because he's too much of a little wimp to fight back." Swift comments with a snigger.

"Heh. Yeah. Wasn't he Canterlot's most eligible bachelor a few years back?" Beat asks.

"Yeah, but that changed last year after the annual gala." Midnight informs.

"How?" Swift asks.

"Funnily enough, a mare who lives here. She tried pursuing him, then found out just how much a pig he was." Midnight answers.

"With how much Beat loves to flirt, wouldn't he be classed as a pig?" Swift asks with a smirk.

"Hey!"

"Yeah, but I can tolerate him." Midnight says.

"Thank you."

"He's more a hopeless romantic."

"Oh, come on!!"

"So where's our house?" Swift asks with his head tilted. "You never said about where our house is."

"Uhhh...let's see." Midnight brings out a piece of paper and looks down at it. "25 Apple Lane. I'll go there now, just to get things sorted out. We'll meet there in an hour. To find it for sure, either ask for directions, or use your common sense and look at signposts around town."

"We know!"

"We're not thick!"

"Just making sure." Midnight states with a smirk and a snigger. "Later,you two."

The dark pegasus flies off into the town, leaving the two stallions taken aback.

"I think she underestimates our intelligence." Beat comments.

".......Ya think?" Swift asks, deadpanning at Beat.

"....Shut up, Swift." Beat retorts, his ears drooping. "I'm gonna go look around. I'll see you in an hour." He takes off, flying into the town.

"If you don't find a mare that catches your eye and do anything you can to try and impress her. Key word being "try", of course." Swift comments, earning a "shut up!" from Beat.
