<Episode 2> The First Contact
Previous ChapterNext ChapterBright Bulb: “Let’s see, where I should go first?” His stomach began to growl, he was hungry. “...Oh, maybe I should go to Sugar Cube Corner first to eat something. I’m starving!” And so he did, he went to Sugar Cube Corner for something to eat. As he entered, he noticed that a pair of Ponies, probably the owners of the shop, were baking something.
Bright Bulb: “Hum... Excuse me?”
???: “Oh, hi sweetie, what do you need today?” Said a blue pony with a slightly dark Magenta Mane and some cupcakes as a cutie mark.
Bright Bulb: “I... I...” He tried to speak, but he didn’t know what to say at all.
???: “Oh, don’t be shy, you can ask for anything you want. By the way, I’ve never seen you around town, are you new?”
Bright Bulb: “Well... You could say that I am... Anyway, could you give me some...” *sniff sniff* “Ooh, that smells good, are you baking something?” He said while he was still smelling that delicious smell. (<--- Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. Doesn’t it?)
???: “Oh, yeah, were baking cupcakes for our little Pinkie Pie” She chuckled as she said that.
Bright Bulb: “Well, could I have some of those? At this point I could eat anything that suppresses my hunger...” He said while he rubbed his hungry belly.
Ms. Cake: “Oh, okay, wait here darling, they’ll be ready in no time, by the way. I’m Ms. Cake, owner of the shop!”
Bright Bulb: “Oh, glad to meet you, I’m Bright Bulb” He let a little smile as he finished his sentence.
???: “Ms. Cake, Mr. Cake? Are my cupcakes ready? I’m getting hungry” Said a happy squeaky voice from upstairs.
Ms. Cake: “Yes, Pinkie, they’re ready, just wait a minute while I attend a customer”
Pinkie Pie: “Ooh, a customer? Okay, I’ll be downstairs to help you!” She said as she began to walk downstairs. “Ooh, I’ve never seen you around, are you by any chance new in town?” Said the Pink mare while focusing her attention at Bright Bulb.
Bright Bulb backed away, he got scared because of Pinkie Pie being too close to him.
Bright Bulb: ‘“I... Well... Yeah, I’m kind of new...” He said while his hooves were shaking.
Pinkie Pie: “Ooh, that’s great. Do you like parties? Because I always make parties for every new Pony that arrives in town! Just ask my friend Twilight, she sure enjoyed her welcome party!” She said with a big smile on her face.
Bright Bulb was getting more and more nervous every time Pinkie talked to him. He just couldn't say a word, he was worried that he would screw things up... *DING* A little bell sounded, he got literally saved by the bell.
Ms. Cake: “Sweetie, your cupcakes are ready!” She said as she placed a blue box on a table.
Bright Bulb: “Uh... Oh, yeah! I’ll just take them and leave” He said as he tried to get away from Pinkie. “... Oh, wait, I almost forgot, how much I owe you for the cupcakes Ms. Cake?”
Ms. Cake: “Oh, sweetie don’t worry, you can just take them, no charge”
Bright Bulb: “B... But, I can’t do that! I simply must pay for the cupcakes!”
Ms. Cake: “Oh, really, don’t worry. It’s a gift, so you can enjoy your first visit to Pony Ville” She gave a little smile to the mustard-colored Pony.
Bright Bulb: “Well, thank you very much Ms. Cake” He said while grabbing the box of cupcakes with his mouth. And then when he decided to leave...
Pinkie Pie: “Wait! You haven’t answered my question! And you haven’t told me your name either, mine is Pinkie Pie!” She said while bouncing happily to the Pony that was trying to exit the shop.
Bright Bulb then placed the box of cupcakes in the floor so he could speak.
Bright Bulb: “Oh, well, my name is Bright Bulb, and yes, I love parties, but I would like not to have a party for myself, I’ve never been the soul of the parties you know? Also, I wanted to see around town, so I could know where everything is if I ever return”
Pinkie Pie: “Oh...” she said with a sad look on her face, which lasted about 2.5 seconds before she had a smile on her face once again “Well, you can always come back, you know? If you do come back after checking out town, then I´ll make you the party!”
Bright Bulb: “... Thanks P... Pinkie Pie was it? I’ll make sure to return!”
Pinkie Pie: “Okey dokey loki” She said with a big smile on her face “Also, it has been a pleasure to meet you Bright Bulb!”
Bright Bulb: “Oh, no, the pleasure’s mine, so... see you around Pinkie, and goodbye Ms. Cake, thanks for everything” He said as he left the shop with his package on his mouth.
After his interesting visit to Sugar Cube Corner, he sat on a chair outside the shop and began to eat his cupcakes. Once he was finished, he decided to depart to Carousel Boutique. But in his way to the Boutique, a blue Pegasus Pony crashed right into him.
