This is a weird story about Bitsy, a coin collecting carpenter of a Pegasus. I know, a strange career for a Pegasus but whatever. This is his small adventure in Ponyville. Note: the story is not perfect is also my first so sorry.

This story is about a Pegasus named Bitsy, a name I took 10 seconds flat to think of :rainbowwild:. He goes on all sorts of adventures around Equestria buying and selling coins and carpentry. He just moved into Ponyville and is just getting use to it. Can he handle all of this? Will he die? I don't know I write this in 2 in the morning.

Day 1

Meet Bitsy. Yes not the best name but he's still a good pony. Now a little about him. He is a yellow pegasus with a lighter yellow mane and tail that collects coins. His cutiemark is three bits in a triangular fashion. He lives in Ponyville but travels to collect foreign coins from different places around the world. When he visits those places sometimes he gets into trouble and sometimes he leaves peacefully. Either way HE IS NOT A PENNY PINCER!!! so, now on to his life.

*****

When I woke up it was a nice morning. The birds were out and about, chirping as they went along. The sun was out, shining brightly against the cloudless blue sky. 'Mhh looks like the whether patrol was out early this morning' I thought to myself. I got out of bed and went to the kitchen to get breakfast. I opened the cabinet and grabbed the honey oats cereal. Then I went to the fridge and grabbed the milk. I poured the milk into the cereal and walked to living room table to begin eating. As I was eating, I looked around the room. 'Its so empty in here. Maybe I should go out later and get some decorations or something.' I thought. I continued to look around when I noticed something wrong. I looked and I saw my coin collection or more like the lack of a coin collection. I spit out my cereal in a spit-take fashion.

"What the hay?" I flew around the room and looked for the collection.

"Where is it?" I continued searching.

"Come on. It was right here."

I flew out of the house and patrolled through Ponyville searching every corner, nook and cranny there was. It seemed hopeless but I didn't give up. Then I remembered, I left them in the museum. 'Really?' I thought. I sighed and flew to the museum and brought the coins back home.

"I can't believe I left them there." I said to myself. That was a facehoof moment. After I found the coins, I continued with my day doing everything normally. Like my job, as a carpenter. I don't work for a company. I am actually self employed. Business isn't as good but I still make a good living.

*****

At work I finished building a chair made of apple wood, a donation from the Apple Family, and sold it to a peagsus named Music Shine who said it was her bird's favorite wood. She paid 40 bits for it and told me it was beautifully made. I thanked her and she left. I sighed, 'another satisfied customer.' Business was slow after that. A few ponies came in to have simple things fixed and one requested a new chair for their house. I told her it would take a couple days to a week to complete it. She said she would come back later then. and she left. It was late so I decided to close up shop for the day. I locked the door and switched the sign to close but didn't leave the store yet. I went down to my work area and began making a cabinet out of Yellow Birch for my new house. As of now all I have are the basic household appliances. I worked on it for about an hour then my stomach growled. 'Oh wow, looks like its time to pack it up' I thought. After I put everything away, I bought some food for dinner from the little restaurant by my house. Dinner consisted of just a lettuce sandwich. Not much, but it still was good.

After dinner, I decided to take a self-guided tour of Ponyville. I flew outside into the cool night. Ponyville was fascinating! They have a music store, a bakery, a library, a train station, and even a spa! It was a great flight but I was tired. I knew I had another day to look forward to tomorrow, so I flew home and went to sleep. 'Today was a good day' It thought to myself, right before I fell asleep.

Day 2 Part 1 - the adventure begins.

It seemed like it was just another classic day, you know, the usual, but when I got up to get food, i noticed a strange symbol on my cupboard. it looked like the symbol for fire, but with swirls on the tip of the flame. "I don't recall putting that there... eh, well", and I just ignored it, but when I went to go sit down I saw the same note engraved into my table and chairs. When I looked at the bagels I was going to eat, they were all shaped like the mysterious symbol. "OK, this is getting weird..." I said to myself. So I was on my way to the Golden Oak library, but stopped myself and thought "oh wait a minute". Then i went to ask around town. As I walked around, it hit me. I should go find Zecora.

*****

I went through the Everfree forest being very careful not to touch the Poison Joke and the other wildlife and soon found Zecora.

"It appears you have been cursed. I can help you, but I need to be reimbursed." I paid her 20 bits.

"Somepony doesn't like your carpentry and cursed all of it to break once used the amount the caster chose. All you need are: two dragon scales, a piece of your work, and a white rose."

"Dragon scales!? Where the hay am I gonna get those?" I asked in a frustrated manner.

"You can bribe. I can prescribe."

I sighed, "How much for the dragon scales?" I asked in an annoyed tone.

"You think I want money? How funny."

"But you charged me earlier" I said very irritated.

"I'm in dire need of a task. What, you may ask? Let me tell you, I need something high in the sky, colorful, and spicy in a metal tube. For this is no ordinary job, this is quite rube. A simple task for a Pegasus, but a huge task for me. So, do you agree?"

"Yes."

"Good. Now fly into the woods."

*****

I knew it was a rainbow in a bucket, but where do I find a rainbow? Cloudsdale is months from coming, but I need those scales badly if I want to keep my job and my reputation. So I searched until I found a rainbow and a really cool house, but it belonged to somepony else. So as any rational pony would do, I knocked. A light blue Pegasus mare with a rainbow mane and tail answered the door saying in a sort of raspy voice, "Who are you?"

"I'm Bitsy, and i'm a carpenter slash coin collector, and I kinda need to use some of your rainbows in your yard."

"What?! Why?" she asked in a confused tone.

"Somepony cursed all of my carpentry to break down after a certain amount of time and the only way to fix it is with 2 dragon scales, a piece of my work and a white rose. Now I need a rainbow because I can trade it for the dragon scales so I was wondering if I could have some of your rainbow."

Her jaw dropped and said, "Well only if you give me a free mahogany table and chair set after you break the curse."

"Deal." I said.
I took a bucket of rainbow and brought it back to Zecora.

"This is nice. I will pay my price." She gave me two dragon scales and sent me off to find the rose and get my carpentry.

I couldn't find the rose, so I flew to the train station and took the train to the great capital of Canterlot. Once I was there I made my way to the Canterlot Library.

*****

When I arrived, I looked around for books on wildlife and where it grows. After looking forever I eventually found it. The book was called "Roses and Flowers". I looked for the section on White Roses. Once I found it, it read:

This is quite a rare specimen which takes years to grow and only grows in caves. When found It is commonly used for potions and brews. It is sold by few and bought by fewer causing its value to be quite high. While rare it can only be safely picked by a skilled Unicorn and must be handled very carefully or its magic properties will dissipate. Read more on page 112

Read more on page 112? This is just a preview? What the hay? I thought this was the section on White Roses. Whatever. I flipped to the page its said which proved to be more difficult than I thought it would be. When I got to the page I scanned it and got to the part where it said they could be found. Wow, that is way too hard. There has to be an easier way. I wonder if there is anypony who sells these. I most likely have the bits to buy one. All I need is a white rose and the rest will be a piece of cake.

Sorry for the wait. Stuff happened... Can you guess who the light blue Pegasus was? I bet a majority of you can and I know this is not likely what she would have done so sorry but, i'm a beginner. I'm also thinking of making the book mentioned in this fanfic and I wrote most of this at 2 in the morning...sooooo :facehoof:
