Alone

Friday, 24th October, 3 PM.
Yesterday we finished to pack up the last things we needed to. At my surprise, the preparations for our moving-out were kinda super fast. I must say, I did more than the half of the packages . After all, if I can be useful, well ... Why not ?
And now, we've almost arrived . Ponyville is a small town, and ... Reaally, really near Canterlot.
I'm not sure if it's a good thing or not.
We took a family sized flying chariot.Yeah, we could have took the train but ... There would be a lot of ponies. Too much for me .
I feel kinda bad that we have to use a much more expensive conveyance just because of my phobias.

" Hey, Dream, look out ! We're arrived ! " squealed with delight Pandora, a huge beam on her cute little face.

" Wow, cool. " answered flatly the teen unicorn while glancing briefly at the decor .

Dream Catcher was the last one of the small family managing to get out of the chariot when a pink, bouncing earth pony approached her, still jumping awkwardly.

" Oh, hey, wait a minute, I never saw you before ! That's funny because I know everypony here ! OOOH, wait, then you are new ?? Are you ? What is your name ? " shouted happily the pink pony .

" Yeah, I-I-I'm new and ... ''

A bit stressed by the proximity of somepony she didn't knew, the unicorn didn't have the time to complete her answer that ALREADY Pink-Pony continued with her loud, happy voice.

" OOW, then if you are new I totally need to throw a party " Welcome to Ponyville" !! "

" ... "

At the word of party , the white teen froze in terror.Painful memories were already playing in her mind.

- Mommy ?

Nopony answered .
A tiny, white unicorn filly scanned fearfully the crowd of ponies. Ponies, unicorns, pegasi everywhere ...
Absolutely EVERYWHERE.
But her parents were nowhere to be found !
The little filly was shaky and tears were running on her cheeks.

- MOMMY, DADDY ? W-W-Wh-where a-areyou ?

" Dream, sweetheart, where are you ? "
Nopony answered and the white, tall unicorn looked the roads of Ponyville. She didn't notice her biggest daughter and her purple eyes went wide.

" DREAM ? "
A few ponies looked awkwardly at her.

" Oh, sweet Celestia, where is she ?! "

She finally saw her, staring widely in the air, with a pink pony talking super-fast of random things and ...
Parties.

'' And so I said to him, ARE YOU CRAZ...''

Pinkie Pie stopped when she noticed that three other ponies - a white unicorn with a long, light blue straight mane and purple eyes, a black earth pony with a dark purple, messy short mane and blue eyes and a little filly with a dark greyish coat and a short, messy, black-and-purple mane - were around the teen unicorn and comforting her.

'' D'aww, it's so CUTE ! OH WAIT, you three are family with her ? OOH, BUT THEN THERE IS A WHOLE NEW FAMILY HERE ! "
She was bouncing even more, super excited .

'' IT'S GONNA BE THE BEST P... Mmmph ? ''

She looked down and discovered the little cute filly who ... just putted a hoof in her mouth ?!

'' My big sister is afraid of parties '' explicated Pandora, at a very low voice, while putting off her hoof.

'' Well, THAT is silly, silly ! Who can be afraid of p-MMPH ...''

'' Don't talk about parties with her ! It's a phob .. Phub ... Phib-weird psychological thing ... So don't talk about THAT with her, you promise ? ''

'' Cross my heart and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye ! ''

Pandora blinked a few times.
'' What's that ? ''

'' Oh, I just Pinkie Promised ! Cross my heart , '' she made a motion of crossing her chest with a hoof, '' Hope to fly, '' Pinkie Pie continued while spreading her forehooves like if it was wings, '' Stick a cupcake in my eye ! '' She ended happily, sticking a hoof in her eye.

'' It's funny ! '' squeaked the little filly. '' What is your name ? ''

'' Pinkie Pie, what is your's ? ''

'' Pandora Eye, but you can just call me Pandora like everypony do ! '' answered gleefully the young filly.
A few minutes after, Pandora noticed that her family already left .

'' Shoot ! Pinkie, can you help me to find my parents and Big Sis' ? "

" Okie-dokey-lokie ! "

Pandora saw the fact that Pinkie Pie was acting strangely. Her eyes were twitchy, and her legs were shaky.

'' What's happening ? ''

'' Oh, nothing, silly ! That's my Pinkie Sense who is telling me that your family is riiiiiiiiiiiight ....'' she started to drag a wide-eyed Pandora ...
'' ... Heeere ! ''

'' Thank you ! '' said happily the little filly who joined the three others.

There they were, finally arrived. But the journey wasn't finished yet.
