Chapter 1: Arrival in Ponyville.

Yelling

"Thinking"

"Normal Speech"

Storm sighed as he walked on the path, approaching the town ahead at a steady pace. "It's getting a bit tiresome to continue traveling now that I've got my cutie mark.." He mused, looking at the 'WELCOME TO PONYVILLE' sign. "Maybe I can try and settle here..." Storm thought to himself with a smile as he walked into Ponyville, looking at the shops and houses. "It certainly seems like a nice place."

Storm came to a stop, looking at the pink pony who was standing on the path in front of him, staring back. Suddenly the pink mare disappeared, leaving behind a dust-pony and a blinking Storm. "Huh, I thought I was the only one who did that.." He commented. "Wow, you can do it too!?" Sompony exclaimed behind him. Turning around, Storm looked at the pink mare from just the few seconds prior. Storm smiled at the mare as he replied, "Yeah! I do that occasionally, nice to meet you. My name's Storm Shine, but you can call me Storm." He said happily, sticking out a hoof to shake. "My name's Pinkamena Diane Pie, But you can call me Pinkie Pie!" The now named Pinkie Pie answered, smiling back and grabbing the offered hoof. They both attempted to shake hooves, ending up with both lifting and lowering each other at the same time*. Both ponies let go, feeling slightly dizzy before they recovered.

"Welcome to Ponyville!" Pinkie exclaimed with a large smile. "So what brings you to Ponyville Storm?" She asked curiously. "Oh, I was actually thinking about living here.." Storm commented idly. Pinkie gasped and excitedly said, "Oh, you should talk to the Mayor, maybe she can help you get a house and maybe a job." She smiled. "Come one I'll take you to her!" Pinkie exclaimed, grabbing one of Storm's hooves and running towards town hall. Storm looked down at his hoof before it rubber-banded and he ended up being dragged along behind Pinkie. She stopped at a door inside the town hall and pushed it open. "Ms. Mayor!" She called out. "Somepony new wants to move into Ponyville!"

The mare behind the desk looked up from some paperwork she was going over. "Oh? Do you mean the young stallion behind you?" She asked. "How can I help you?" Storm smiled, "I don't really need a home, since I can make one from the clouds..." He started. "But if there's a pegasus-related job I could get here that would be nice.." Storm requested. "I don't really need the bits, but it'll be nice to keep busy... And be able to get muffins..." He thought. The Mayor smiled. "Pinkie can you go get Rainbow Dash?" Pinkie nodded and sped out of the room.

"Rainbow Dash is the captain of the Weather Team here at Ponyville." She explained to Storm as Pinkie reappeared with a multi-color-maned pony with a turquoise coat. "Ah Rainbow Dash, are there any free spots left on the weather team?" The Mayor asked. Rainbow nodded. "There might be one or two.." She said. "Who's looking to join?" The Mayor pointed towards the only stallion in the room. "This young pegasus is moving into Ponyville and asked about a job."

Rainbow examined Storm for a second, "Hmm... I'll tell you what, if you can beat me in a race, I'll give you a job on the Weather Team." She said, as the other two mares started to protest slightly. "Dashie, that's not very-" Pinkie started before Storm cut her off, "Alright." Everypony else in the room stopped and looked at him incredulously.

*Like when you see a cartoon character lift another into the air and shake them, in a handshake.
