"Next stop: Ponyville!"

I look out the window to see my new home. It's a lot smaller than Manehattan, that's for sure. I shuffle out with everypony else and look at my surroundings.

The village seems cozy enough. The houses and shops are decorated in a way that lends them simplistic beauty, not fancy enough to be opulent, yet not so plain as to be homely.

I take out the piece of paper with my address written on it. "1759 Muffin Avenue huh?" I look around. "Now if I can just find a station worker."

I walk around the station, looking for somepony who could help me out. I finally found somepony who didn't look like they were too busy.

"Hey can you give me directions to this address?"

"Yea sure, you just go down Cherry street about five blocks and take a left," he pointed down the street "from there you go another two blocks. Thats where this address is."

"Thanks mister," I said as I turned down the indicated street, "have a nice day"

"You too and welcome to Ponyville, sir"

I trotted down Cherry street until I reached my turn and continued onto the next street.

As I headed down the street towards my new home I noticed some ponies that didn't look like the others. One of them had a black and red mane and tail, a light blue body, black hooves, and red eyes. He had on a black cape, and a red ankh necklace. His cutie mark was a red crescent moon surrounded by a halo of Light. When he saw me looking he flashed me a smile. His teeth were razor sharp and looked deadly. It made a chill run up my spine.

There was a filly standing next to him. She had a pink and yellow striped tail and mane, cyan colored coat, and lavender colored eyes. Atop her snout rested a pair of glasses. Her cutie mark was a window with pink curtains looking out at the moon.

They were playing ball in the yard.

"Catch it big brother!" The filly called out, kicking the ball to the older pony.

She kicked it a bit harder than she meant to, sending the ball towards the house. The older pony rushed to stop the ball before it ended up going through a window.

"Moon dreams you gotta be more careful," he kicked the ball back to her, "we don't really need a broken window."

Moon dreams looked at her brother dejectedly.

"Sorry big brother."

I stopped watching them to continue on towards my house, not wanting to waste too much more time

I finally made it to my new home. It was your standard two-story Ponyville house--nothing special about it, really. I took out the keys to my house and let myself in.

All of the furniture I had brought from my old home, albeit there was not much, had already arrived. What I did not bring I had sold off to help buy this place. As it is, it looked kinda empty, with only a small table with three chairs around it, a couch, a bed in my room, and a chest of drawers.

I sighed and walked over to my couch, sitting down on the comfortable cushions and thinking about the home I had left behind in Manehattan. This new house is smaller, although honestly I kinda prefer it that way.

I check my watch to see that it is 3:30. Still a few hours left until sunset, may as well go to the town square. I could use some groceries anyway.

I make my way to the square and as I arrive I look around at the stalls, hoping to find something to cook for dinner tonight. I finally settle on some potatoes, carrots, and other ingredients for stew. As I contemplated where to go next, I saw a bakery called Sugercube Corner. Having a bit of a sweet tooth, I figured it wouldn't hurt to at least stop and see if anything looked good.

I walk into the bakery and am amazed by the sight that awaits me. The desserts have desserts, I kid you not. The bakery smelled of many amazing scents, dough baking, fruits used in the pastries, fresh cupcakes straight out of the oven, I swear there is every kind of treat I could think of, from cakes to fritters, to dumplings, cupcakes, muffins, and so much more. My mouth started watering just thinking about it.

I turned towards the counter to see a pink pony taking orders. As I waited in line to order my food, I noticed that the pony seemed so energetic she might start bouncing off the walls at any time. I finally made it to the counter to place an order, thinking some nice cupcakes would make a good house warming treat.

"Hello ma'am, could I get a half a dozen of chocolate cupcakes with vanilla icing?"

The pony continued to stare me down, a strange look on her face. It was a solid minute before she let out the longest most drawn out gasp I'd ever heard. I was about to ask if she was OK when she zipped to the back room faster than I thought was possible. As I stood there staring at the space where she had been, a blue mare with light and dark pink colored mane and tail came out with a box full of cupcakes.

"Terribly sorry about that, dear. Pinkie Pie gets a little excited sometimes," she said, hoofing the box over to me, "that will be six bits"

"Its OK," I said hoofing over the bits, "have a nice day."

"You too"

As I trot back home I find myself thinking about my bed. It has been a long day, and I am ready for a good nights sleep. Little did I know that ponyville might be even crazier than Manehattan was.
