A New Pony in Town

Applejack came out of her house with the apple pie. She saved it just in time.

“It’s okay, but we’ll have ta’ let it cool for a bit longer,” Applejack said. Kayti, Fluttershy, and Discord nodded. Discord put a light bulb above his heads and Kayti couldn’t help but giggle at this. Fluttershy looked at Kayti with curiosity.

“I have an idea. Why don’t I just cool the pie?” Discord asked. He snapped and the pie has a layer of ice on top of it. Applejack glared at Discord. Discord and Kayti burst out in laughter. “Priceless, y-you really should see the look you’re giving me! It could kill a pony if you’re not careful,” Discord said in between laughter. Kayti was rolling on the floor with laughter. She wiped a tear and cleared her throat.

“That was funny and all but could you fix that? I am really hungry,” Kayti said. Discord nodded.

“I guess…I do prefer it my way but I guess ponies like non freezer burnt food.” He shrugged and fixed the pie so that it was at the perfect temperature. Kayti smiled and licked her chops.

“Can I have a piece now?” Kayti asked. Applejack chuckled and nodded. She put it on a picnic table outside her house and they all sat down. Applejack was about to get a knife but Discord conjured one up and cut a piece for Kayti. Kayti smiled friendly at him. “Thank you Discord.”

“It’s no problem, with power like mine, going to the bottom of the sea and not die from lack of oxygen would be no trouble for me,” Discord said which made Kayti giggle. Applejack smirked at the scene before her. Fluttershy scowled at the scene.

The ponies and Draconequus ate the pie and were silent.

“Do ya’ll like the pie?” Applejack asked.

“Oh yes, very much. I always say that if ponies are silent while eating, the food must be great,” Kayti said. Applejack and Discord laughed. Kayti smiled at making her friends laugh.

“I am silent all the time so how does that apply to me?” Fluttershy said crossly. Kayti noticed the edge to Kayti’s voice and looked at her curiously.

“Fluttershy…can you come over by the tree with me? I have to tell you something,” Kayti asked. Fluttershy nodded but with quite a bit of out of character attitude. The two mares walked to the apple tree closest to the table but far enough away that the others wouldn’t hear their conversation.

“What?” Fluttershy asked.

“I should be asking you that. What is up with you? I know I haven’t known you for but a few hours but I know you well enough to know you don’t usually act like this. You were so kind when you met me so I know this isn’t you. Did I do something wrong?” Kayti asked. Fluttershy’s face fell.

Fluttershy knew it was stupid to be jealous of Kayti. Discord and she weren’t a couple so why would she be mad that it seemed like Kayti and Discord had a thing. It wasn’t any of her business. They just met any way so it wasn’t logical that they liked liked each other. Fluttershy decide to stop acting this way and be kind again. She never liked being mean to ponies anyway, especially ponies as nice as Kayti.

“I’m sorry but you didn’t do anything I just…was mad at something else. We can go back to eating now. I promise I won’t snap at you like that again. I wasn’t thinking when I did that,” Fluttershy said. Kayti smiled and gave her a hug. Fluttershy smiled and hugged her back.

They walked back to the table and continued eating. Then when they were all done Applejack spoke up.

“Should we all go ta’ Sugar Cube Corner now? I know Pinkie Pie will love to meet ya’ Kayti. She loves making new friend…ta’ a high extent,” Applejack said. Fluttershy and Discord laughed at this because they knew how much truth was in that sentence. Kayti smiled and nodded.

“I would love to meet Pinkie Pie, she sounds great!” Kayti excitedly said. Discord snapped his fingers and they were all outside Sugar Cube Corner.

“That was much quicker don’t you think?” Discord said. Kayti nodded but gasped.

“Where’s Ink? Did I leave her there?” Kayti asked. Ink came from behind Discord and she exhaled with relief.

“You can’t take pets in there sadly,” Fluttershy said. Kayti sighed sadly.

“Discord, can you make me a leash? I will have to tie her out here for a little while,” Kayti said. Discord made a leash and gave it to her. Kayti smiled at him and tied the leash to a candy cane looking pole on the sugary building. She put the leash on Ink and patted her on the head.

“We’ll be back in a little while Ink so be good sweetie,” Kayti said. Ink wagged her tail and Applejack, Fluttershy, Kayti, and Discord went into Sugar Cube Corner. Nobody was in there except Pinkie. She was stirring some batter and reading a joke book at the same time.

“Ha, that’s hilarious…oh my, guests are here Gummy!” Pinkie Pie said excitedly. Pinkie noticed Kayti and gasped.

“Hello, my name’s Kayti Sparklewriter and I’m visiting from Foalhio,” Kayti said. Pinkie gasped even more.

“I’m so happy to meet you because my name is Pinkie Pie and that won’t be hard to remember because my mane is pink and my favorite color is pink and I love meeting new ponies and I love making new friends so do you want to be friends with me? Also, I like your name,” Pinkie Pie said so fast that all the ponies were confused at what she said. The only pony who wasn’t was Kayti.

“I would love to be friends and I love your mane and my favorite color is pink too so I can tell we are going to be the bestest friends even though that’s not a word and I have always wanted to meet you because I heard you were the element of laughter and I love to laugh almost as much as I heard you do and I think this is going to be really fun and I also heard you are funny and plan the best parties,” Kayti said super-fast and almost as fast as Pinkie Pie did. Pinkie Pie was grinning ear to ear and the other ponies and Draconequus in the room had their jaws dropped and were very impressed.

“You can talk really fast, almost as fast as me and that’s amazing because I have never met a mare that can talk as fast as me and as hyper as me…are you hyper because that would be a crazy wonderful coincidence and I can’t believe your favorite color is pink because that means we already have a lot in common!” Pinkie said and she took a big breath and began again. This super-fast talking went on for a long time.

“I feel like we are going to be the greatest friend ever!” Pinkie said finally.
