A New Pony in Town

(Three years later)

Kayti sat there with a feather pen in her mouth. Ponies lined up from all over to get their book signed by the author herself. Ink sat there next to Kayti Sparklewriter, curled up and watching the ponies walk past them.

Pony after pony, they came up and Kayti signed their book and gave a smile. She loved her fans and loved that they loved her books. This book in particular. It had been so much fun to write, not to mention live it.

The next pony that came up was not who Kayti was expecting. Fluttershy came up and Kayti gasped. She came around the table she was sitting behind and gave Fluttershy a hug.

“I was wondering if I could get my copy signed…oh and Discord wanted a copy signed too,” Fluttershy said. Kayti smiled. She took the feather pen and signed the two copies.  “He said he would be coming to see you as well but he probably got…distracted. You know how he is.” Kayti set the pen down on the table.

“I understand. I’m so glad you came! Did you like my book?” Kayti Sparklewriter asked. Fluttershy nodded and smiled.

“I think it’s so sweet to have written a book about your adventures in Pony Ville with us. All of the girls read the book too. Discord and Rainbow said they only read it because it had them in it but I think they really did like it more than they said,” Fluttershy said with a giggle. Kayti smiled and laughed.

“I figured they would say that. That’s why they had less lines in it than anypony else,” Kayti said with a smirk. Fluttershy and she giggled. Suddenly, Discord appeared in front of them.

“I knew it! I knew you would play a trick like that!” Discord said. Kayti smiled and gave him a hug hello.

“I missed you too Discord,” Kayti said. Discord smiled and hugged her back. They pulled apart and Fluttershy and Kayti went back to chatting.

“How’s Kaleb?” Fluttershy asked. Kayti smiled and was about to answer but ponies were getting impatient with her chatting. She sat down and Fluttershy and Discord went on the side of the table. Kayti continued signing books and spoke through the pen in her mouth.

“He’s gud but been bizy lately from hish job at Canterlot cashel,” Kayti was barely speaking English but Fluttershy and Discord could make out what she was saying. She continued smiling and signing and talking. She multitasked a lot so it wasn’t that much of a challenge for her.

… … … … … …

When the signing was over, Ink and the three creatures caught up and told each other things about what had happened lately. Kayti was happy to know that Discord had finally proposed to Fluttershy.

“Well, it took ya’ long enough!” Kayti said teasingly. Discord rolled his eyes.

“Things like that take time,” Discord said as he glanced at Fluttershy. Kayti nodded and smiled.

They talked and talked until they had to leave the Haytastic Mall. They walked out together and gave each other one last hug. Fluttershy started to walk away but Discord bended down to whisper something in Kayti’s ear.

“I did like you, you know…just not as much as I love Fluttershy,” Discord said with a smile. Kayti smiled and nodded. She thought it was nice that Discord still felt like he did something wrong to her but really, he didn't. He just loved somepony else. There was nothing wrong with that.

She watched as they walked away and headed home herself. Ink followed her out and jumped on her back.

She got home and sat on her couch. Ink curled up by the fire and fell asleep.  Kayti pulled out a scroll.

“Dear Princess Celestia, I am so happy to have great friends that love me and think about me. I am glad that friends will surround me even when they are far away. I also learned that love is important and should not be disturbed by selfishness.”

“Your faithful and loyal subject, Kayti Sparklewriter,” Kayti read the note she had written out loud. She rolled it up and got up to walk to the post office. She put it in the mail slot and went back home. She sat and read for a while before falling asleep.
