Meeting an orchestra player

"Well, Lyra, can you please let go of me; I need to go get some food," I said and she let go of me.

"Oh, sorry, it's just that no-pony has been as nice to me as you have been." she said.

"Wait what about me" Bon Bon said.

"Well, you said humans don't exist and he said that they did" Lyra said, Bon Bon gave me the death stare.

"Fine, I guess you’re right about that," She said.

"Well, I'm going to go get some food; maybe all of us could hang-out together some time" I said as the two mares nodded and trotted away. As I went to the market I heard some music coming from an empty field; I decided to follow it. When I got there it was a gray coated mare with, a black, well-kept mane, and her cutie mark was something I didn't know but the music was lovely. When she finished I stomped my hooves and she looked over to me.

"Oh, I'm sorry, am I not supposed to do that if I liked the song?" I asked before she smiled and said.

"Well, I didn't think any-pony heard that" she was kind of blushing.

“I heard it from town; is that a bad thing" I asked before she laughed.

“I'm glad you like it" she said with a sweet smile.

"I didn't like it, I loved it! What is that instrument" I asked.

"It's a cello" she said with a hint if annoyance in her voice; did she think I was to know what it was?

"Oh, so that's a cello. See, I come from Cloudsdale so I’ve never seen a cello before" I explained.

"So you’ve heard of it but have never seen one before" she said a bit more relaxed.

"Yeah, but I have always wanted to see one" I said admiring the instrument.

"You know that was a nice save you did there" she said with a smirk on her face.

"Ugh, so you c-caught on, huh; oh yeah, my names Lightning Crystal, what's yours" I asked her.

"It's Octavia Melody" she said.

"Well it’s nice to meet you Octavia" I said in a teasing tone.

"And a pleasure it was making your acquaintance Lightning Crystal" Octavia said.

"Just call me lightning" I replied before she nodded. I looked at the sky and saw that it already had grown dark "Oh no, the shops are closed now, great; I don't even have enough bits for a restaurant" I said. Octavia said she would buy me a meal at a restaurant "Really? Oh Octy, I will SO make it up to you when I get the money" I said as I gave her a big hug. We went to a restaurant nearby and waited for a table. When one was available we sat down and looked at the menu." I have a feeling that I will be good friends with Octavia" I thought to myself.

Expect to see more of Octavia and her chello

An unforgettable encounter

"So Octavia, how long have you played music that lovely" I asked as the waiter brought out drinks.

"Oh, about since I was a little filly in Canterlot" she explained.

“Okay, I see Canterlot- wait Canterlot?!" I yelled embarrassing Octavia when I yelled.

"Yes, Canterlot, now Lightning please quiet down" she said her face bright red. I saw that she didn't like to talk about her life in Canterlot so I calmed down and said sorry. She said it was fine so long as I didn't do that again.

"So can I call you by a nickname; honestly it's kind of hard to say Octavia all the time" I said as I put the menu down.

"Fine, you may, but please nothing embarrassing" she replied. I pondered about it for a while.

"Hmm, how about Tavi?" I said as she thought about it.

"Yes, that is suitable" she said and gave a little smile; as I was about to thank Octavia for the meal I blacked out.

XX Time Skip XX

I woke up and looked out the window to see it was mid-day; I wondered what had happened last night. Why I was in some-pony else's bed- wait, it looked like a guest room.

"What happened," I said out loud to myself; just as I was about to get up out of the bed I started hearing really loud music from downstairs or what I thought was downstairs. I opened the bedroom door and took a big step forward and tumble down some stairs all the down into what appeared to be a living room. I stood up and went to where the sound was coming from to shut it off. When I got there it was coming from a dishwasher so I shut it off and relaxed.

"Hey, you killed the wubs!" a boyish sounding mare said; I looked up and saw she had blue hair with a lighter blue streak in it and she had sunglasses on so i couldn't see her eyes that well.

"Wubs " I said in a confused tone and she starred to explain what a wub was but I stopped her before she could speak. "Um, where am I" I asked

"You're in the house of the one and only Pon-3" she said

"Listen Pon-3, I want to know how I got here" I said with my mind set on finding out what was going on.

"First, call me vinyl; next, I kind of knocked you over the head with a vase" she said.

"Wait, what" I said in a surprised tone. Vinyl just seemed to giggle.

"Yeah I kind of thought that you were forcing Octavia to be there with you cause she was crying" she replied.

"What, no! She was happy because I said I liked her music" I said frantically.

"Yeah Octavia told me that and she might have yelled at me" Vinyl said. I said goodbye to vinyl, my newest friend, and headed home. When I got there I plopped myself onto my bed and started to relax, but there was a knock at the door

"Who could that be; I never told any-pony where I lived" when I opened the door I saw a familiar face.

Author's Note

Who could that familiar face be wait for the next chapter to find out you can send me messages comments and such to find out but I won't tell, till the next chapter

The cloak and the cmc

It was silver wind the moving pony that helped me get all my stuff to ponyville she was carrying what seemed to be a parcel in her saddle bag it was small and looked to be fairly light i assumed it was something i left in my old house. I furrowed my brow thinking that i was sure i packed everything but it was probably small enough for me not to notice. Reluctant to say anything i let her in my house and pointed her to the living room where i had a couple pillows and a coffee table and motioned for her to sit down and i then closed the door and walked to the kitchen to get her some coffee.

"So what brings you over to ponyville i mean i saw the parcel is that what this is about" I asked while making the coffee.I kinda wanted to know what she had in there but i figure if she wants to tell me she would plus I didn't want to seem like I was intruding.

"I brought over something you left in your old house you see when the next pony moved in they noticed this in a closet" she said I was wondering what it was but I thought it was a small figurine not something that would be in a closet.

"What could i have forgotten I was sure I grabbed everything" I said as I walked into the living room with her coffee. I set the coffee down on the table, and sat down.

"Well apparently it was left in your closet do you want it back" she said as she picked up the cup to take a drink. I would like to have it back she did go out of her way to bring it here to me.

"Sure i'd like it back" I said just as she took a drink, she spit it out and looked at me with an embarrassed look her face was beet red I gave a slight chuckle. She passed over the parcel, I opened it and saw my most prized possession in it.

"Wait why is my cloak in here" I yelled just now realizing I didn't have it on me. I quickly put it on, I then looked to silver wind with a very confident look, and she started to blush, I realized that the way I was looking at her made it seem like i was flirting with her.

"Um listen Lightning Crystal I think you're a very handsome stallion and all but don't you think you should ask me out first" she said I started to blush so badly I could have sworn my coat actually turned red. As I tried to compose myself I took a look at myself in a mirror, I then turned around and looked directly at Silver Wind, she started to blush again.

"Why did you spit out the coffee I made for you" I asked, she stopped blushing and looked confused for a second but then realized what i was talking about.

"Well you see I don't really like coffee that much" she said, I shrugged it off and went into a closet that was in the living room, and grabbed a pillow and a blanket, and tossed it her way

"Here it's kinda late as is and you might not make it home before sunrise so you can sleep on my bed i'll sleep out here on the couch" I said she smiled at my offer and accepted, she went over to the bed and laid down, I grabbed another pillow and blanket and got comfy on the sofa.

"Hey lightning" she said

"What is it Silver wind" I replied

"Thanks for letting me stay the night" she said

"No problem" I replied my first two days in Ponyville and I make a mare cry twice, possibly made a friendship stronger, and got knocked over the head with a vase I guessed that I would possibly have more experiences like this in Ponyville. After a few hours of sleeping I got up and went to the kitchen and saw Silver Wind was still here.

"Hey Silver Wind what are you still doing here" I asked she gave me a look and drank some tea.

"Well I don't have any work today so I decided to stay, why is that a problem" she said, she looked kind of sad when she said that I had to make her smile.

"No it's not in fact i'm glad you stayed I feel calm around you" I replied she started to smile when I said that, and then she started to blush when she realized what I said, I started to blush two, as I was about to ask Silver Wind where she got the tea from there was a knock at the door, so I went and opened it to see three young fillies selling ponyscout cookies. there was a unicorn that was white and had a purple and pink mane, an ornge pegasus with a purple mane, and a yellow earth pony that had a red mane and a pink bow.

"would you like to buy some cookies mister" the unicorn said.

"Sweetie Belle that's not how you sell cookies" said the pegasus.

"Now scootaloo don't tell me how to sell cookies" the unicorn replied back.

"Now both yall stop that right now" said the earth pony

"But Apple Bloom she started it" said the unicorn and pegasus in unison.

"No buts" she then turned to me "would you like some cookies"

"wait who are you three" I asked

"we're the cutiemark crusaders" all three of them said in unison

"I'm apple bloom" said the earth pony

"I'm scootaloo" said the pegasus

"And i'm sweetie belle" said the unicorn

"Okay now that I know you where is your guardian" I said and they all seemed to freak out, and started to look around like they lost something.

"Oh no mah sister sorry mister but buy some cookies next time" Apple Bloom said and then they all ran off at speeds faster than I ever imagined a filly going.

"But you tried to sell me cookies by knocki- oh who cares they're long gone" I said, I closed the door and turned around to see Silver Wind smiling at me.

Author's Note

I will now put a romance tag on the story because of this chapter if anypony was wondering why i would have this chapter I think that Lightning Crystal deserves a love life:twilightsheepish:

The cmc were added because of a freind of mine that has an account her name is scootaloo96:scootangel:

Getting dragged along and a visit to the E.R

I was about to go to the kitchen when the front door bursts open, and I feel myself getting pulled out of the house, and get tossed to the ground, I looked up to see Vinyl staring down at me.

"Get up I need to show you something" She said, I was reluctant to get up for two reasons, first I wanted to know how she found my house, and second I wanted to know why she was so strong.

"Ahem" I looked to where that came from, and was shocked to see that it was Silver Wind that did that.

"Oh sorry didn't realize he had a marefreind" Vinyl said, I started to blush so much when she said that. Vinyl thought Silver Wind and I where a couple though I never thought of being in a relationship with somepony I was still shocked.

"I am not his marefreind I just thought that was rude they way you just tossed him on the floor" Silver said, I got up and walked over to Silver

"Listen i'm getting used to being hurt by Vinyl, the way we met was cause she bashed me over the head with a vase" I said, Vinyl started to laugh when I mentiond that, and silver was shocked, what have i gotten myself into I thought to myself.

"You did what to him" Silver yelled at vinyl.

"You should run" I told her

"good idea" she replied, she then ran away with a hold of my cloak.

"Oh no" I said, as i got dragged away. Hitting the ground while I was being dragged was painful. I looked around to see lots of ponies looking at me and Vinyl I even saw the cmc getting scolded by an orange mare with a yellow mane a brown hat and three apples as her cutie mark.

"But Apple Jack" I heard Apple Bloom say

"No buts missy" said the mare. guess her names apple jack I thought to myself. As I was being dragged along Vinyl ducked into an empty field. In the field there was Octavia, Lyra, and Bon bon.

"Hello ladies" I said as Vinyl tossed me at a tree. I got up from hitting the tree and saw that it was a tea party.

"See this, this is for you" Vinyl said, I wondered why a tea party would be here for me but then I recognized the field, it was the place where me and Octavia met.

"Why hello Lightning Crystal" Octavia said.

"sup" Lyra said.

"Hello" Bon bon said. They all waved at me and I waved back and started to fly over to them but went down wincing in pain because of my wing. All of them rushed over to me and picked me up and took me to the hospital. When we got to the hospital they checked me in like good friends.

"Hello I am nurse Redheart" said a white mare with a pink mane and a red cross for a cutie mark

"Hello" I replied.

"Now how did you hurt your wing" Redheart asked.

"well you see I was doing some flying and I wasn't looking where I was going and flew into a tree" I said at least some of that is true I thought to myself.

"We have a room for you but you will have a roommate I believe her name is Rainbow Dash please be nice to her" Redheart said, she rolled me into the room and set me on the empty bed.

"Hey"I heard a mare say, I looked to my right and there was a blue pegasus with a-a rainbow mane she must be Rainbow Dash I thought to myself.

"Hey, you must be Rainbow Dash" I said and she just seemed to bloat with ego

"So it must be pretty amazing to meet the one and only" she said

"Actually I did'n't know about you until i hurt my wing and nurse Red heart told me you would be sharing a room with me" I said, she looked sort of sad when I said this but she still kept her cool.

"Well that kinda makes me sad" Rainbow replied, I was sad to see I made another mare cry what is that the third time I did this great i'm a bad guy I thought to myself.

"Hey listen when we get out of here i'll buy you a hay burger to apologize" I said to try to make her smile, and she did it was a devilish smile she's going to have me buy her tons of food isn't she I thought to myself.

"Well if you really want to make it up to me you could always give me" She replied, she paused and I was getting worried about what she was going to say.

"What tell me" I said, I immediately regretted saying that cause she leaned in close so close that I could feel her body heat.she's going to ask for a kiss I just know it I thought to myself as I closed my eyes, then I feel myself get hit so hard that I could hear it.

"well I never thought it would be that easy" Rainbow said laughing hysterically, I realized she was the one who hit me.

"whoa what was that for" I yelled, she looked at me with rage.

"That was for making me sad" she said kinda crying while she said that.

"Well i'm sorry and I will not make you sad again" I said, she looked a bit happier than when I made her sad. After a weeks stay in the hospital Rainbow dash and I were released, and we went our separate ways. I got home and went to the kitchen right away I was starved, so I opened the fridge.

"hmm some sandwiches what are these doing here" I asked out loud and the that's when I noticed a note

Dear Lightning Crystal
I was so happy when you let me stay the night with you and when I heard from miss Scratch about you being in the hospital I started to worry so I thought that you would like some food other than that bad tasting hospital food so I made some sandwiches for you when you return I will be in my house in CloudesDale

Sincerely:

Silver Wind

"well can't let a good sandwich go to waste" I spoke out loud. I ate one of them and went to the living room to slouch around.

Author's Note

This is where comedy gets a bit more random
:pinkiehappy: did somepony say random
No pinkie your time will come but now it's rainbow dash's turn in the story

applejack is a cameo for a friend of mine that worships applejack.

The bonds that connect us all

I ate the sandwiches, they were delicious. I decided to go and walk around town, see what I would like to do. I walked around feeling the soft gentle breeze, smelling the nice flowers, it was just nice. Silver wing flew down from the sky and gave me a huge hug.
"Do you have any idea how worried everypony was for you"
"Sorry didn't mean to make all of you worry"
"Well you did, and I don't like that"
She was hugging me tight, it was like she didn't want to let go. I wiggled free from the hug and saw that she was crying. I tried to comfort her.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean too"
"It's fine"
She wiped away her tears, and looked at me. She must have noticed the look I had in my eyes.
"Listen Silver, I want to talk to you and the others"
"Okay, they're over in a field"
She led me to the field. I looked and saw Vinyl, Octavia, Lyra, and Bon Bon.
"Hi" I said.
"Hey light-dub" Vinyl said.
"Hello Lightning" Octavia said.
"What's up" Lyra said.
"How was the hospital" Bon Bon asked.
"listen I have some sad news" I said, all of them looked at me and waited for what I had to say. "I'm leaving ponyville"
"What" Vinyl said.
"This has to be a joke right" Octavia said.
"I'm sorry Octavia, but it's not a joke" I replied.
The mares all looked at one another and than me.
"But you can't go, you've only lived here a couple of weeks" Lyra said.
"I-i got this letter, I got this job that i've always wanted" I told her.
"What is that job exactly" She replied.
"I'm going to be able to make clothes, I am going to be a designer" I said looking at the ground, tears in my eyes. My face felt hot, like it was being burned.
"Why, why would you leave" Silver said, she was holding back tears.
"I want to be a designer, I sent my designs to manehattan so many time that I thought that I would never live my dream, but today I got this letter" I said. All the mares looked at me and then nodded.
"Well if you're going to leave, might as well give you the presents now" Vinyl said. I looked up and saw all of them handing me something.
"This is my cello bow, so that you can remember me by" Octavia handed over the bow and walked out of the way.
"This is my latest album, not in stores yet, so you can have the first ever copy" Vinyl gave me the album, and made way for Lyra.
"This is my lire, I want you to have it" She handed it over and lastly was Bon Bon.
"This is a bag of candy, it's not much but it's something" She handed over the bag, Silver stepped forward.
"This is something that you can't ever return" She closed her eyes, leaned in close to me, and kissed me, her muzzle was so soft and she was so gentle with the kiss, I closed my eyes and returned the kiss. We both pulled away from the kiss.
"That was nice" I said.
"Now don't ever forget me, you got that" she asked, I nodded. we all walked to the train station.
"Vinyl, I am giving you this" I handed vinyl a pair of headphones.
"thanks" she said.
"this is yours tavi" I gave her a neck bow
"I will cherish this" She said.
"This is yours Lyra" I handed her a drawing that I made of hands.
"These are hands, you drew this for me, thank you" She said.
"This is a little bit of candy that I made, it might taste bad" I handed Bon Bon a small piece of candy.
"As long as you made it i'm sure it will be just fine" She said.
I hugged every last one of them. All of us were in tears. I didn't want to leave my friends, but I had too.
"We will meet again, but for now, promise me this" I said,
"what is it" The all asked in unison.
"Promise me, that we will always be friends" I said, they all nodded.
"All aboard for manehattan" The conductor yelled.
"Looks like it's time for me to go" I said as I walked onto the train. I took a seat by the window, and looked out it. I saw all of my friends looking at me. I waved at them.
The train started to move. I was in tears as I saw ponyville begin to shrink on the horizon. I looked at the items they gave me. It felt like they where there with me. I was going to miss them, but I had a felling that all of us would meet again.
"Thank you, all of you" I said aloud to myself. As the train continued to move I was thinking, about how I would meet them again, smiling while I thought about what happened to me in ponyville.
"What's next in my destiny, am I going to meet them again, maybe, but not for a while" I said.

Moving out

In Cloudsdale a white pegasus by the name of Lightning Crystal is getting packed up to get ready to move out and head to Ponyville. "Okay just have to put away the last little bit of my platters away and.." he puts the dishes away "Done". There is a knock at the door; he hears this and goes over to it and opens it. To his not so surprise it was the moving ponies; they were a mare and a stallion "Oh come on in". He leads them in and shows them his small amount of boxes

"Only five boxes?" the mare said.

"I kinda expected more." the stallion said.

"Well i kinda sold everything I didn't need" Lightning said.

"Well, that just means less work for us right Cloud jumper?" the mare said.

"Well, yeah i guess so Silver Wind" Cloud jumper said.

XX time skip XX

After having the moving ponies help out he gets settled in. His new home in ponyville, it was kinda empty but it has cupboards ,a bed ,a shower, and a fridge. He decided to star to unpack and take a shower. After everything was unpacked and he had his shower, he decided to go out and buy some food to put in his fridge; he walked out the door and went to the market. As he was walking he over heard two ponies arguing about something; he decided to check it out. When he walked over there he saw a cream colored earth-pony with a pink and blue mane and tile colored unicorn with a blueish mane that had a white streak in it.

"Hey whats with th-" before he could finish he was interrupted by cream pony.

"Hey yo, please tell Lyra here that there is no such thing as humans".

"Humans do exist and so do hands Bon Bon" the tile pony said as the cream one rolled her eyes.

"Wait, I don't know you two yet" Lightning said.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm Bon Bon" said the cream pony.

"And I'm Lyra Heartstrings" said the blue pony.

"Okay, glad I could meet yo, my name is Lightning crystal" he said as he shook hooves with them. "Now what is a human" lightning said confused.

"See Lyra, humans don't exist" Bon Bon said with a smug look on her face.

"No, they do, they do, I know they do" Lyra said while having a sort of tantrum like a filly that didn't get what she wanted; lightning sighed.

"Hey listen I just said I don't know what a human is that doesn't mean they don't exist" lightning said and Lyra stopped and hugged the stallion "i'm sorry" he mouthed to Bon Bon.

"It's okay" she mouthed back while smiling.

[i"]I can tell I am going to have some adventures living here" he thought to himself.
