Chapter 2: Introduction to William Sand

Previous Chapter

Ponyville: the place where little fun happens during the summer. Fillies play on the streets, adults relax, but what are teens supposed to do? They've had their fun as a filly, but they still want to have some sort of fun. One teen that lives in Ponyville is not a big fan of summer. His name is William Sand. The irony of his last name being "Sand" doesn't help his depressing thoughts of summer.

It was the Saturday before the last week of school. William's mother walked into the room with a basket of laundry. She placed the laundry down while looking at her son sitting at the window. His eyes just peered outside at all the fillies playing in the yard. His mother wanted to do something about this. Later that evening at the dinner table, his mother spoke to him. She said, "Guess what. I have some great news. We are going to Sun City for the summer to visit your father!" William dropped his fork on the table. His eyes opened big. "Mom," said William, "why are we going there?" His mother replied, "because you need to have a fun time this summer and look on the bright side of things." William and his mother continued the discussion.

"What about school?"

"You will finish your last week of school at the Sun High School."

"What about my friends?"

"You'll see them next school year!"

"What if I'm made fun of because I am new?"

"I'm sure that won't happen. If it does, then the school staff will probably help you."

"Probably?"

"You have to pack your things. We are leaving tommorrow?"

"Don't I get to say bye to my friends?"

"I will get the phone book."

After calling all his friends, William packed all his belongings, and followed his mother to the airport.
