Michelle
Previous ChapterMy name is Michelle. I am the 314th human to earn her way into studying in Equestria. I wasn’t always the cool girl or the smart gal but I got by. It was my music teacher, Mr. Lee, who introduced me to the music programs at Canterlot University. I was amazed at how the ponies were able to use the same instruments that we did, even with hooves. One pony in particular comes to mind. His name was Octavian, and she played the cello. I still don’t get how ponies grab stuff with their hooves. He was always so confident, even a bit shy, and his music was amazing. Then there was the DJ. His name was Synth Sense, but he went by DJ TecaPon3 on stage. He was head-strong, stubborn at times, and all around, just a fun guy to hang with. He always wore these sunglasses that covered his eyes, but he took them off to show me once, and I saw those vibrant blue eyes.
Being the aspiring rapper that I was, my appearance was less than formal, more that of a “Bad-girl” than anything else. You know; the kind of girl that you date and don’t tell your parents about. Don’t get me wrong, I'm not a troubled gal or anything like that. I just needed a good look to go with my music. So when I first got to the university, and saw all the band and orchestra players, human and pony alike, I was feeling a bit lonely. Surprisingly, the first person, or pony, to talk to me was Octavian. He said that I looked lonely, and that I was probably new around. I thanked him for trying to help me, but I just didn’t feel like I fit in. He laughed, as he began to tune his cello, and said that I reminded him of Synth. After meeting him, I agreed. We even started to work together, making music, of a new genre. Classical start, mixes it up, and adds some fast rap, that’s basically what we did.
Soon winter rolled around, and I found myself on break in Ponyville. It was a small town, very small actually. I could tell, because the moment I arrived I was ambushed by a barrage of talking from a pink pony with a passion for parties. His name was Berry Bubble, and he immediately began to show me around town, naming off every place, and everypony, that we passed with no effort. He told me all about his friends, Dusk Shine the librarian and student of Solaris, Applejack the apple farmer, Illusive the Boutique owner, Butterscotch the animal caregiver, and Rainbow Blitz the weather patrol captain. I meet each at one point or another, but the only one that stuck out to me was Rainbow Blitz. He seemed to have that air of pressure, like I did, to always please my friends, like I had to be the best ever, at everything. I knew that I couldn’t do that, not completely, and I was fine with that. But I wanted to make sure that he knew. Actually, when I met Butterscotch, I was almost shocked. He was very quiet, shy, a pony of few words, but I could kind of see something else, deep inside him, that wanted out, to be heard.
So after meeting all of Ponyville, and I mean all of it; it was getting dark. Berry brought me into Sugarcube Corner, the place where se worked, but the lights were off. As I tried not to trip over something, the room lit up. Everypony yelled “Surprise!” and scared the crap out of me. I was shocked that anypony would do this for me.
So we ate, and we talked, and I learned about the Elements of Harmony. At one point, the Cutie Mark Crusaders; who I later found out were Apple Buck, Sweepy Bell, and Scootaroll; barged in through the door with a weird looking glider or something, and ran into me. They explained that they were trying to earn their cutie marks in gliding, or something like that. But the all were talking at the same time, and really fast.
What a way to confuse a girl! Anyway, that was my interesting night.
