Unknown

I suppose I should start from the very beginning, back a few months ago. You already know the first day, so from here on out let me tell you just exactly how I found out who I was.

I had trotted home, and set my Suitcase and Bit Bag down. I looked around the roomy, yet broken house and sighed. This would take quite a bit to fix but… I suppose it will have to do. The area and view was worth it though. Stepping out on to the creaky, wooden porch I looked out over the lake. The water was a beautiful, glistening baby blue that reflected off of the clear sky. The wind had drifted lazily, and the sun shined and spread its warmth throughout the entire area.

Turning back around, I assessed the damaged made upon the front porch. The right window was shattered to pieces, and the floorboards weren't much better. I’m surprised I hadn't got a splinter yet. I noticed that the porch was seemingly empty, so I decided I would personalize it later. Entering the house, I scanned around and noticed the lack of couch… This would be a major problem in the future. Other than that, the living room seemed fine to me. Taking the hallway to the left, I found what would be a bedroom and a bathroom. I went into the bathroom first, and the only thing that really needed to be done is some simple cleaning. Going into the bedroom however… It reminded me of my old room but instead of books everywhere it was just dust, extra bits of wood, cobwebs… The place was a mess. I went over to my suitcase, and opened it up. Reaching a hoof inside, I was able to find my Saddlebags, in which I needed. I took out said item, and from them pulled out an old piece of parchment and a quill. I made a quick checklist of all that I wanted for now, and walked out the door…. not after rightly hiding my stuff that is, since the door literally had no handle and could be pushed open using barely any force.

I made my way into town, wading my way through the bustling town. For a seemingly small place, there sure were a lot of ponies here. Nothing compared to Manehattan I assure you, but nonetheless plenty of Ponies. Anyhow, I looked upon the rows of stores, searching for any place I can purchase furniture. My eyes laid upon one sign that read: Quills and Sofas!

…

My mind went furious. WHY WOULD ANYPONY IN THE HISTORY OF EVER, PUT QUILLS AND SOFAS IN THE SAME STORE?! WHY IS THIS A THING?! THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE… But I do need a sofa I suppose…

Ugh, words can not describe how much I hate everything.

Entering the store, I saw many couches of eternal pleasure… Okay, that sounded weird. Walking along I looked around. A few had managed to catch my fancy, but they were very, very expensive. I saw a simple red, cushioned couch and did the main thing anypony would do… Flopped right down on top of it. My everything melted into it and I sighed in content. This was the life.

“So does that one suit your needs?”

Shrieking in what was totally the manliest way possible, I jumped off of the couch, doing a roll in mid-air, and landed flat on my muzzle.

“Oww….” I whimpered, eyes close in a futile attempt to stop the dizziness.

I heard a chuckle behind me, and a stereotypical salesman voice made itself known.

“Sorry about that my boy, are you okay? Ah of course you are. So this couch tickles your fancy yeah? Well that’ll be 500 bits.”

Still lying on the ground, I reached a hoof into my Bit Bag, and sloppily presented 500 bits… Why were there dancing, flying Elephants?

“Thank you my boy, where will we deliver it to? Also, you might have a concussion, so see about getting that checked. Onto more important things! Oh right, where is it needed?”

I told him my address and laid on the ground for a minute longer. Getting up and brushing the dust off my faded purple coat. Walking out, I wondered just what would happen next.

“I suppose I ought to look for a legitimate furniture store… without needless other supplies.” I mumbled to myself.

Scanning the immediate area, I saw a sign with a picture of an elegant chair on it. Walking inside, I was pleasantly surprised to see tons upon tons of beautiful, expertly hoofcrafted furniture. Passing the counter, a rather cute red and white maned mare greeted me. She looked to be a bit around the same age as myself, and she a nice grey coat tinged with a bit shade of red in certain areas.

“Hello, and welcome to Pony Brothers furniture! How can I assist you?”

“Hello ma’am, I just recently moved in. Uh, is there anything you would reccomend for a new resident in need of well… almost everything?”

Hours upon hours passed in that store, all picking out furniture and getting to know the mare. Turns out, she really, really like strawberry ice cream. Huh, who knew? Anyhow, it was around midday, and I was sitting alone, bored at my house. I knew that most of the deliveries were going to come by tomorrow, so I was stuck. It was at this time that I remembered the library supposed to be around. Walking out the door, I once again trotted upon the cobblestone streets. It took me about 10 minutes, but I eventually came across the library. I looked at the sign which simply showed a picture of a book with the text on it: Golden Oaks Library. Oh yeah, did I mention that the library was A FUCKING TREE? Now if that isn’t the coolest shit, you can get right out.

I walked into the building, and I was completely astonished at the selection of books! Ignoring everything around me, I adorned a giddy smile on my visage and bounced around happily and excitedly, browsing through every single piece of literature I could find! There was Fiction, Non-fiction, Adventure, Romance, Mystery, anything! There was literally at least one of every type of book in this library!

“Well, someone seems excited.”

Once again for the second time that day, I yelped and leaped up into the air, and once again slammed my muzzle onto the cold, hard floor.

“Ow… I have really got to stop doing that.” I mumbled under my breath.

“Oh my gosh! Are you okay, you’re not injured are you?”

Next thing I know, I was being hovered in the air, being turned about and about. I felt like I was going to hurl, fortunately for me and the unicorn levitating me, they stopped.

“I’m so sorry oh my Celestia I didn't mean to scare you!”

The unicorn gently set me down, and I took a few generous second to regain my balance. After finally focusing, I looked up to see a purple unicorn mare, hopping back and forth using her left and right legs, a nervous and worried expression.

“It’s okay, it’s okay! Relax, I’m fine, see? I smiled a sheepish smile, but it seemed to do the trick seeing as she calmed down considerably.

“Okay good, I’m glad you’re okay. Anyways, how may I help you? Are you looking for something specific, or just browsing?”

I assumed she was the local librarian, considering her authoritative voice and whatnot. If not the librarian herself, then the assistant.

“I’m just browsing, I’m a huge nerd when it comes to reading. If it’s not too much trouble though, could you show me the adventure section?”

She simply nodded, and looked a bit annoyed at the "nerd" comment, but still pointed over at a bookcase.

…

After what seemed like years upon years of reading some fantastic adventure stories, I realized it was getting late. I checked out a few books, and made my way back home. I sighed as I realized I have to check if they have a hardware store around here to repair all of the damages… How I forgot about that I will never know. Hopefully they have something like Home stable around here. Oh well. I set my Saddlebags down, and laid my head upon them. It would be uncomfortable, but I don’t really have a choice I suppose. With that thought leaving my mind, I feel into an unpleasant sleep…

“YOU. ARE. WORTHLESS! YOU SHOULD NOT EVER HAVE BEEN BORN!”

“Please… no… stop! I’m sorry okay?!”

“YOU ARE SCUM, CHILD! WHAT KIND OF MARK IS THAT?! YOU ARE A DISGRACE TO THIS FAMILY, LEAVE! I DON’T EVER WANT TO SEE YOU ANYMORE!”

…

I’m sorry...
