Chapter Two (Meeting the Ponies, Part 2)

Previous Chapter

Pinkie rushed me over another part of town. We soon approached a farm with a whole orchard of apple trees. I saw a colt pulling a cart full of apples over to a barn.

"APPLEJACK!!!" Pinkie yelled. An orange pony wearing a cowboy hat peeked out of the barn.

"What in tarnation, Pinkie?" she groaned. "What is it?"

"A new pony is in town!" Pinkie shoved me ahead of her. I was starting to get used to this routine.

"Whoo-Wee! What have we here?" the pony said. She looked me over carefully. I could feel little beads of sweat form on my forehead.

"I'm Chloe. Nice to meet you." I said uneasily.

"I'm Applejack. Nice to meet ya' as well." she said. I smiled. Suddenly, a yellow-coated filly came running toward Applejack.

"Applejack! I just heard that a new pony is in town! I can't wait to meet her!" she squealed. I blushed. It was so nice to be recognized.

"Well Applebloom, she's right here!" The filly turned her head toward me. I smiled at her. She squealed with delight.

"Mah name's Applebloom!" she said. "It's so nice to see you!" I gushed with delight. there was nothing more cute than having a little filly be excited over you.

"Well, my names Chloe. Nice to meet you!" I said. Then I realized that she wasn't where she was before.

"Huh? Where'd she go?" I said, looking around. Applejack chuckled. She pointed to my rear. I spun around. Applebloom was staring at my flank.

"This is a great cutie mark! How'd you get it?" Applebloom said. I looked at my cutie mark. It was a ocean with a few fishes in the water.

"Welllll... I was boating...then I... tipped over my boat and fell in the water. Then I saw a fish. It kissed me on the muzzle. I opened my eyes. The water was crystal clear. My magic was affecting the water that was once dirty. Then I got my cutie mark!" I lied to the little filly. I really had no idea why I had that cutie mark.

"Whoa!" Applebloom said."That's awesome! Can you do us a favor?" Applebloom said, looking up at Applejack. She chuckled, then looked up at me.

"Applebloom has a pond that she loves, but it's really dirty. She wants to know if you can clean it." Applejack said.

"Gladly!" I said. I had no idea how i was going to do this. Applebloom grabbed me and trotted of to her pond.

"Hey! Wait for me!" Pinkie yelped. She caught up with us in a matter of seconds. We soon reached the pond.

"Oh, Yuck. I said. The water was filled with with algae. The sides of it were covered in a layer of grease. How can grease be in a pond?

"Well, this is my pond." Applebloom said. "It's not doing to well. Can you clean it?" She looked at me with large, trembling. I just couldn't say no to that.

"Well, I'll try." I said. Pinkie looked excited. I didn't want to let them both down. I got my horn glowing and placed it onto the water.

Suddenly, the whole pond filled with light and sent light shooting out of it. I was risen with it. I was completely unconscious.

"OH NO!" Pinkie screamed. Applebloom was speechless.

"What's going on over here?!" Applejack said. Two pegasus ponies followed her. The light beam was so high in the sky, it could be seen from all of Equestria. It soon died down and completely stops. I was falling in the sky, still unconscious.

"Rainbow Dash! Fluttershy! Go catch her!" Applejack cried. Both of the ponies shot up in the sky. They caught me right in the nick of time.

"Boy. She looks beat. We better put her down." the blue pony said. The other pony nodded. They put me on the ground.

"Applejack! Look!" Applebloom pointed toward the pond. It was crystal clear. Applejack was awe-struck.

All of the ponies crowded around me. Pinkie was crying. One of her tears fell on my face.

"Oooooohhhhh..." I groaned. I slowly got to my hooves. Everything was dizzy. Soon, everything was in focus again.

"What happened?" I moaned. I looked around. Twilight, Rarity, Applejack, Pinkie, Applebloom and the two pegasus ponies were looking at me. There were also two other fillies and a purple dragon accompanying them.

Applebloom explained everything. I was dumbfounded. I had just made up the cutie mark story!

"Wow." I said. It was really all I could say. I looked back at Applebloom's pond. I am so confusing.

"Well Chloe, I'm glad to know you're feeling better." Twilight said. "I wanted to introduce you to more ponies." Okay. That was fine. I really would love to talk about anything besides this.

"This is Spike." The dragon waved and smiled.

"These are Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo." They both smiled and waved.

"And these are Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy." They both smiled at me and flew to my side.

"That was quite some fall you had." Rainbow Dash said. "You're lucky we saved you."

"Hi..." Fluttershy said. I spun around. She smiled and shook hooves with me. "I hope you're all right..."

"Oh, I'm fine. Thank you all for being by my side." I said. All of the ponies gathered around for a group hug.

"YIPPIE!!" said Pinkie. She collecting everyone with her arms. We all where glad to have each other's company.

"i really have no place to stay for the night, so is it okay if I stay at one of your homes for awhile?" i asked.

"Of course!" Twilight said. "You can stay in the library with me and Spike."

After saying goodbye to everypony, we headed off to the library.

"Boy, what a day." Spike said. "I bet you had an exciting day, Chloe."

"You bet." I said.

By the time we got to the library, it was around seven o'clock.

"I'll show you to your room, Chloe." Twilight said. The room had a closet and a bed and a furry carpet. It looked very cozy.

"If you need anything, I can come down to the library. I'm going to work for awhile, so I'll be up pretty late." she said. I yawned. I was pretty tired. I laid down on the bed and started to nod of to sleep.

"Chloe?" Spike said. He was standing in the doorway.

"You can come in." I said. I hopped of the bed. So much for sleep. "What's the matter?"

"I really need to talk to you." he said. I got a weirdish feeling inside.

"Sure! What is it you want to talk to me about?" I said.

"I don't think that you are who you seem." Spike said.
