A day in the sparkle life
(credit to the cover image is in the link source)
The sun was shining its brightest over the large and proud city known as Canterlot.It lit up everywhere as high as the pony eye could see. With houses that cost up to the 55,000 in bits at the cheapest and apartments for just one pony being just half that,you'd better come here with a good chunk a change in your saddle. Then again for most ponies if you were one of the the few 400 out of all Equestria chosen to enroll in Canterlot college,this was not a worry.
For one young light gray mare with a white and purple streaked mane this was the case.She had 3 purple stars as a cutie mark and her name was Star Sparkle. After having her application chosen from thousands in Fillydelphia she was on a stretch wagon bus to Canterlot college. She left behind many friends and family members but knew this was worth it.She was fulfilling both her dream and her mother's dream to go here one day. This was a place the whole Sparkle family dreamed of sending their kids to have successful careers.She was going to make them very proud.
"This place is twice as big as I imagined it would be. I hope I don't get lost around here."thought Star Sparkle
They stopped in front of a large blue marble many building in canterlot,the roof made of pure gold. Star estimated the building must of stretched at least 2 miles long. Standing in front of it's bronze door,was a young plumb tan unicorn stallion with a brown mane and green eyes. He seemed a bit out of place in front of the pristine building with how sloppy he wore his tuxedo. Once every pony lined up he plastered a smile on and began to speak.
"Welcome to Canterlot college!I'm your tour guide and trainee consular doux pain or pony joe if you'd like. Follow me this way please and try not to get lost.Please try to remain quite while we walk because some classes are already in session"he finish with turning around and proceeding down the hallway.
The tour felt like days on Star Sparkles hooves even though it was only an few hrs. Her and a few dozen random other ponies were now waiting to be assigned dorms and dorm mates for their first called out names numbers and floors for a good 10 mins till her room was assigned.
"Floor 3-room number 42 is your room,just take that elevator to your floor"said the directory
"Thank you!"
Once she got there she discovered her dorm mate was already there and seemed to be sketching something.She was a unicorn like herself but with a rose pink coat and indigo blue mane.When she sat up to greet her Star could see what looked like a golden thread on a needle going through a white sheet as her cutie mark.
"I wonder what if that means shes really good at sowing things?"Star thought.
"Hey there,my names buttons!Looks like were gonna be room mates for a while."said Buttons with an energetic smile.
"Hello buttons, my name is Star Sparkle,glad to meet you."Star replied
They spent the remainder of the day sharing stories about where they were from and how they got their cutie marks.
The Next Day
The courses all flew by relatively easy and having Buttons in 3 of her 5 courses helped things from being boring till lunch.
The student lounge wasn't to full to find a seat open but messy students made it hazardous. Star Sprinkle could barely step wide enough around the soda puddles on the floor.
"Excuse me, sorry I'm just trying to get my seAAH!"screamed Star Sparkle as she tumbled sideways about to smack the ground.
Luckily for herself a pair of blue hooves caught her but not so much for her tulip sandwich.
"Thank you for catching me,I'm not usually the clumsy type."she said embarrassed.
She looked up to see a smiling blue stallion in front of her. His mane was a well groomed slate blue and his cutie mark was a small white crescent moon with a large yellow crescent moon circling it.
"Its okay,it happens to every pony once in while right? Sorry about your sandwich Ms...uh"he trailed
"Star Sparkle and its my own fault for tripping."
"Well I'm Night Light and since I still should of caught it either way,I insist I buy you a new one"he replied
She could of sworn when he said his name,she could see a funny shine in his eyes.
"Sure"
A few minutes later they wound up swapping stories about each other and how they got into Canterlot college. Night Light apparently lived a little way in a slightly middle class section of the town. His parent's left him a nice 2 story house with a small library on the the second floor. Ever since he was a teen he was had been working up money doing odd job where he could, unlike the spoiled colts who just lived off their parents money.His father wasn't a spoiled stallion and he didn't want his son to whine up that way either just because they had a bit of money. He then walked Star back to her dorm room.
"It was really nice getting to know you Star."said Night Light
"Same with you,do you wanna do this again sometime like this weekend?"She asked
"Sure" was his short reply.
Other then meeting Night Light,the rest of the day was uneventful but hopefully with time that would change.
