Day 1:

A New Colt in Town

You are a blue coated stallion, with a purple mane, and a light blue flower as your Cutie Mark, representing your talent for gardening flowers. You have just arrived to Ponyville in the train.

You step outside, and you feel excited once you step out of the station with your green saddlebags supplied with bits, food and flower-seeds. You think about all the new ponies you are about to meet, and grin as you think that maybe this time, you’ll get to find the one mare, your super-special-somepony. With a determined grin, you slip on your grey fedora, and take your first step into Ponyville.

You stroll your way through Ponyville and take in the fresh afternoon air on this wonderful sunny day. You hum a lovely tune to yourself, the one that you always sing and play for some odd reason, but you never question it. You trot, feeling like nothing can stand in the way. As you roam through the town, you find yourself not surrounded by large buildings and long lines of taxis, but instead see small, one or two story houses and tons of shops and ponies all roaming about. They all look happy, just as you are. They’re all talking to one another, laughing, and enjoying one another’s company.

It wasn’t long before you meet your first one in town.

“Hi!” says a sudden voice. You turn around to find a pink mare with a darker pink mane, and three balloons as her cutiemark.

“You’re new here, sir?” she asks. You nod.

“I’m Pinkie Pie, what’s your name?” she introduces herself, and holds out a hoof for a hoof-shake. You take her hoof, and tell her your name.

“Violet? Cool name! So, you moving here?” she asks. You explain to her that you just moved here from Manehatten for a ‘fresh-start’. She nods with a smile.

“So, which place are you moving to?” Pinkie asks. You freeze, realizing that you may have forgotten to pick what home is going to be yours. You tell her that you might have forgotten to buy a house.

“Don’t worry, silly; I forget stuff too! Here, I’ll show you around, I know everypony here and I know where everything is!” she offers. You accept it. Pinkie leads the way, as she shows you around town. She shows you the town-hall, the stores, the parks, and even some wells that she mentions had had more foals fall in there than you would think.

“I did?” she asks suddenly. “Oh… I see what’s going on here! So this is a Fanfiction?” you… have no idea what she’s talking about. “So, you don’t speak, are you? I guess you let the narrator do more of the talking?“ she asks. You give her a puzzling look. She shrugs. “Oh… never mind, I’ll roll with it.” she says with a cherry smile. You chuckle. You may have just got here, but you sure have caught on to what they always say in Ponyville in times like these; ‘She’s just being Pinkie Pie’.

After the tour, you finally buy yourself a house, and settle in and unpack. It’s empty when you enter, with an exception of some furniture and a few empty frames. Just the way you like it. There is plenty of room for whatever new treasures and souvenirs you will soon have, and all the flowers you will have on display. It is late now, and you decide to get started on your garden tomorrow, so it’s future-Violet’s problem now. You get in your new bed for the first time, and sleep peacefully until morning.
