Ponyville

To say that Twilight's first day in Ponyville had been stressful would have certainly been considered an understatement of the century. From the very moment that she had touched down in this backwoods town, it was as if only strange things would occur one after another.

The very first contact that she had even attempted to make with Ponyville had been a slightly more heavy set earth pony with rather eye-paining pink for her color scheme along with sky blue eyes. The introduction had been rather simple, after being spurred on by Spike, but had only received a rather surprised gasp before she darted away.

The second contact had been with the family that was in charge of banquet preparations for the Summer Sun Celebration, located on Sweet Apple Acres. She had found the figure head of the family, an orange earth pony mare with blonde mane and tail accompanied by green eyes. This one had introduced herself as Applejack, the accent which she spoke with could be considered as thick as molasses with a heavy southern drawl. Like any southern type family, theirs was considerably large with each one following the same concept of having apples related to it. The oldest of the family being introduced as Granny Smith, while the youngest was Applebloom. After being pressured into eating the various foods presented, Twilight had left Sweet Apple Acres with a stomach distended with various apple treats.

The third contact was with a pegasus who had been charged with the clearing of clouds for the celebration, the sky still being filled to the brim with small little white cotton clouds. This introduction was the most physical of them, the mare having crashed into Twilight and sending them both into a puddle of mud. This one seemed a little more tomboyish in nature, along with a slightly more egotistical nature tacked onto her. Her name was Rainbow Dash, her name sake coming from the rainbow spectrum of a mane and tail which was adorn upon her cyan body. Her eyes shone with a moderate cerise color within the sunlight which pierced through the slight overcast. Offering to help poor Twilight, she proceeded to practically place a downpour directly on top of her to clean off the mud and then create a small tornado to dry her off. This left Twilight with quite the curly mess of a mane, which brought laughter to both Rainbow Dash and Spike. A little bit disgruntled, Twilight had challenged Rainbow Dash when she mentioned that the Wonderbolts wouldn't allow such a lazy mare into their fold. In a whole ten seconds, the prismatic mare had cleared all the clouds from the sky before 'dashing' away to practice.

The fourth contact, Rarity. This mare was every letter of the word prissy. Her mane, alongside her tail, was a brilliant indigo color which matched rather spectacularly with her light gray coat and dark blue eyes. She had been put in charge of decorations, decorating the town hall of Ponyville from the bottom to the top with ribbons and various other things. Spike had fallen head over heels in love with this mare, who had quickly tossed preparations to the side to assist the destroyed coiffure belonging to Twilight Sparkle. What had seemed to be a simple mane job turned into an entire wardrobe job in mere moments and Rarity had been distracted, Twilight had quickly fled from the scene.

The final contact had been the preparation of music for the Summer Sun Celebration. They quickly stumbled upon the maestro who was to be in charge of the music. This particular mare was a pegasus, her mane along with her tail was a pale rose set upon a soft gold coat matching well with her moderate cyan eyes. The introduction had been a little strange since the mare seemed a little, shy. Twilight wasn't able to get a name from the mare, every time she went to introduce herself, her name would slowly lose pitch to nothingness. Eventually she turned into just a small squeaking mess, hiding behind her mane until Twilight moved to leave the mare. It was in the moment that she noticed Spike, which she was suddenly became one of the most talkative mares ever, having headbutted Twilight out of the way just to get to the baby dragon. This mare had followed the pair from the small clearing all the way back to the library while speaking to Spike as he rode upon Twilight's back. She was finally able to shake the mare by dropping Spike to the floor from his back, exclaiming how he needed rest since he was still a baby.

She had been on the final home stretch, now she was within the library and was ready to work on her plan to convince Celestia that things were going to turn south. It seemed perfect, until a certain pink mare ruined her plans completely.

Pinkie Pie is her name and partying is her game. You'd think that Fluttershy, when she had noticed Spike, was talkative but this crazy mare talked at about one hundred words a minute. Just hearing her talk was enough to cause anyone's brain to lose focus and Twilight was doing just that while pouring herself a drink. Too bad the drink that she had poured herself had been a particularly nasty bit of hot sauce. She had quickly retired to the upper floors of the library while the rest of Ponyville remained downstairs to party the night away.

A mild groan radiated out from the bedroom, Twilight slowly making her way up the steps from the lower platform of the room to the upper levels where her bed laid. Next to the bed was a night stand which is where she, gently, placed the quill which had rested behind her ear for the entire day.

"I swear to Celestia, this entire town is crazy!" Twilight exclaimed, jumping onto the bed as the rhythmic sounds of bass seemed to thump through the floor. At this, Twilight quickly grabbed the pillow at the head of the bed and quickly slapped it over her head before drifting off to slumber.

"My sentiments exactly," A soft voice spoke, the quill upon the night stand seemed to slowly extend, the various shades of purple seemingly expanding into the shape of what appeared to be a tail. It slowly swayed to and fro as two yellow eyes seemed to drop into existence and the air itself seemed to separate to reveal two rows of pearly white teeth which turned upwards into a grin.

"And I wouldn't have it any other way." It finished, the teeth slowly parting into a soft chuckle as the tail slowly swung over the form, revealing a rather rotund feline with various shades of purple spiraling along it's body. His paws slowly pressed down against the night stand before he pushed off, floating into the air as he slowly circled the ceiling of the bedroom. His paws slowly made swimming motions as he slowly pushed himself along through the air.

"Shan't be much longer before she returns and what a show she shall have for you tonight..." Cheshire spoke, his eyes drifting to mare who rested below. He allowed himself to chuckle softly as he slowly swam towards the window, his form slowly turning into a vapor which leaked through the slight gaps between the wood and window. Once he was outside he materialized himself once more, his eyes resting upon the sight of the moon within the sky. His paw slowly rose as he made a slight pinching motion around the moon, the four bright stars which once surrounded the moon seemed to slowly begin drawing inwards towards the celestial body.

"Nope, shan't be much longer..."
