Load Full StoryNext ChapterClickity-clack, clickity-clack, the noise Tuck's cart made as he headed to his new home in Ponyville. He had bought a house, A small, neglected, brooding house. The paint was weathered and peeling off in spots, and the slats in the shutters on the upstairs windows were mostly broken out. A slight breeze made the shutters tap against the hose and the hinges squeaked. The sun low in the sky, illuminated the upstairs rooms making the two windows facing Tuck look like dim red eyes, and the door below a gaping maw. He could see inside the front door into the house which was littered with debris and past that a broke banister beside a stairway the led upstairs. He could hear a low moaning sound, perhaps nothing more than the wind blowing down the lopsided chimney. The house needed work. Lots of it.
Tuck quickly unpacked his things, locked the door- as best as he could considering the lock was busted.- and went back into town for supplies.As he walked out, he noticed some more small details. The garden was overgrown. Sickly green weeds were creeping over the path and the small garden pond was covered in slime. A small popping sound came from the pond, as if something was somehow still alive in there. The light of the setting sun was reflected in the grimy windows. Tuck, knew that he could clean this place for the rest of the life, and it still wouldn't be clean. That, was far-stretched, since he was Immortal. He took a long look at his house and jotted down the things he needed for the clean up. The list had plenty of things. He would also need a book on getting rid of grime and muck. He grabbed his cart and headed into town, towards Twilight's library.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Why hello there! Are you new in town?" The purple unicorn asked Tuck, as he walked into the library.
"Actually yeah. I just moved here from Tall Tale, I live a couple blocks away from Carousel Boutique." Tuck answered while looking at Spike, who was offering him a smore. Tuck grabbed the chewy smore.
"I have plenty of books on Home Repair. You can borrow them anytime. Applejack might be able to help you if you need help. Rainbow Dash can also help. Pinkie Pie can give you treats and stuff from Sugarcube Corner, and Rarity runs the Boutique!" Twilight gave Tuck a couple of books and walked to another bookshelf. She also gave him a book about Yard Work.
"Ask me if you need anymore books. I'm always just a couple of blocks away."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tuck had went to everypony, he went and got gardening supplies from Applejack, who agreed to help him with the gardens, Fluttershy, who would help him with the wild creatures living in the abandoned house, Pinkie Pie, who would help mop up and clean the dust off things, Twilight to help him scrub the windows, Rainbow Dash to work on the roof, and Rarity...well... Rarity was there just to help him move all his stuff back inside once they were done. Everypony helped out alot. Pinkie Pie, at one point used her mane to dust off all the railings and picture frames, which Rarity made a disgusted squeak at. Applejack had plenty of mud on her, after she wiped all the scum off the pond, and weeded both the garden and the pathway. Fluttershy found some baby mice in a dresser by the front door, which she quickly flew to her cottage and settled them down. Rainbow Dash had helped fix all the squeaky hinges and the chimney, and as well the shutters and glass on all the windows. After the house was fixed, they all got to work cleaning and moving all the old furniture out, and putting the new in.

After they finished moving Tuck's bed upstairs, they started to spruce the place up further, Rainbow Dash gave Tuck a couple of expensive cloud pillows, Rarity gave him some expensive, one of a kind outfits to put in his dressers along with his old white shirts and suspenders. And Twilight gave him some new bed sheets, with all the constellations on it.
"I just want to thank everypony in the group project. It means alot to me that i have already made such good friends with all of you, and I've been thinkin' about having a big 'Welcome To Ponyville' party!" Tuck had said to the line of ponies staring at the now beautiful house.
"Ill Bring the streamers!!!" Pinkie Pie said while hopping off.
"I can make some totally cool party invites!" Rainbow Dash hollered as she sped off towards her house.
"I will bring in zesty cucumber sandwiches!" Rarity giggled and trotted off.
"Ill bring all the animals by so you can pick a new pet...I-if you don't mind that is.." Fluttershy asked nervously.
"Ill bring the Cider, And some Apple Cupcakes!" AJ said while galloping off.
With all the other ponies gone, that just left Twilight and Tuck, standing alone in the gateway. Twilight broke the silence,
"So...do you wanna head inside and make some final adjustments for the party? I should also grab a dress.Maybe
I can buy one from Rarity's shop." Twilight said while she headed
inside.
"Sure, I should throw on something for the party too." Tuck and Twilight walked to the main room. Tuck pulled out 2 outfits. A white shirt with suspenders and black pants. And a white shirt, with a black bowtie and a log black coat.
"Which one Twilight? I can't choose." Twilight stared at both the outfits
Wow, both of those outfits would look absolutely Gorgeous on him. Twilight thought.
"I think the one with the Tie. It...stands out more. We will start the party next Friday at about 4. See you then." Twilight said while walking out of the room.
"Yeah...see yah..." Tuck said. Tuck threw himself onto the bed. Thinking about Twilight.
