The New Family

After eating what little snacks were left over from my sisters, I decided to go ahead and look around the town. Since it was already noon and Angel and Annabella hadn't burnt the house down yet, I decided we go out and look around Ponyville, only because I didn't want to leave my sisters alone in the house.

"Awhh but Skylar, do we have to go into town?" said the twins simultaneously.

"Yes we do, You two can't spend all day in this house. You two need to go meet other ponies and make some friends" But of course, the twins both pouted refusing to leave their cozy new home. And wether they like it or not they are going out of this house. So I had to use force instead of persuasion, and simply dragged both fillies out by their tails, I have to admit though, they did put up one heck of a fight. Of course they both tried to bribe me and tried telling me that no-pony would want to see them, being the new kids in town.

"But Skylar! every pony will pick on us and be meanies to us!" said Angel, " Besides Skylar wouldn't you rather stay home, and fly around the fields a few times." said Annabella, trying to deceive me.

I was a little aggravated at how the twins tried to wiggle there way out of leaving,"First off, Angel you have no clue what ponies will think of you until you interact with them, and Annabella the last thing I need to do is get in the air after hauling a large cart for six hours." After saying that, both fillies started to walk alongside me, both were pouting and complaining the whole way to Ponyville square. I didn't care what they did, as long as I didn't have to drag them all the way from the house and they were active.

You could definitely tell how active the streets were as the sun rose, ponies were everywhere! at the market, in the streets, but still not as packed as Fillydelphia, but had much more hoof room. Besides just that one cart that Applejack owned, tons of carts selling different goodies were filled in the streets. The twins were muttering about the things at the house they could've done instead of coming here, but overall I didn't care what they said about staying home.

I was examining the carts and various objects that filled the streets, then both twins stopped right in front of me, almost making me trip. The two fillies had their eyes set on the main street, one at the left and one at the right. Angel had her eyes locked on a bakery called Suger Cube Corner, and Annabella had her sights set on a local library."If you two go within five feet away from me, without asking, you two fillies are going to be in some BIG trouble." I spoke with a bit of anger in my voice at the two of them.

Both twins eyes grew large with anticipation, they were silent but had a smile wipe across both their faces. Before I could say anything, they both split in different directions, Angel left to the bakery, and Annabella right to the library. "Sigh, these fillies are going to wear me out the first week here!" I muttered, rolling my eyes. Since I was still so tired from the flight up here, I wanted to get the more cooperative twin first, and then get the other with ease. Since Annabella was always the sweeter one, I decided to go to the library to get her out first.

I started trotting over to the large tree where the library was. I wasn't very worried about Annabella, I know she loves books, she wouldn't purposely harm them. But I'm more worried about the owner of the library, Annabella is probably talking that ponies ear of right now! The tree almost looked like a type of home, as well as a library. It had a ton of windows, and some decorations that filled the branches and the bark of the tree. I approached the library door, opening it as quietly as possible. I slowly crept in the main entrance, as I did this I heard some pony talking. At first I thought it was Annabella talking on and on about reading. But to my surprise, my sister was calmly sitting on a pillow and listening to the librarian speak about her knowledge. My jaw almost dropped to the floor, seeing little Annabella quite, listening to the pony very carefully. Only hearing short mutters and whispers, I crept closer toward the two to hear what they were saying.

"Ok so all these books are all very interesting, but please do put them back when your done. Ok?" said the librarian.

Little Annabella only nodded, she was probably overwhelmed with all the books around her. I still watched Annabella, making sure she wouldn't break anything, until I heard a quite whisper behind me, "Umm what are you doing?"

I jumped out of my hiding place and quickly turned around to see what had scared me nearly to death. To my surprise it was a yellow pony that I guess wanted to check out a book, but I didn't really focus on that as soon as I heard that voice, I screamed at the top of my lungs, "AHHHHHHHH!" but somehow the other pony was scared as well, she screamed as well,"AHHHHHH!" both of us were shivering all the way down to our bones. That little outburst of the both of us caused the librarian to come over to the two of us. The librarian came up to us and said, "Fluttershy? what are you doing screaming in my library? We have other readers who want peace and quite."

The Yellow pegasus, Fluttershy, finally caught her breath and started to calm down a little bit. "Oh sorry Twilight, I was just a little jumpy I guess, after this pegasus scared me a little bit."

Im gonna guess that pegasus was me, because both ponies looked at me with an odd glare. The librarian had a concerned scowl across her face, and the other pony, Fluttershy, trying to hide her face. I decided to speak up before something strange happened. "Oh I'm so sorry girls! I didn't mean any harm, I just wanted to check on my little sister, I hope you can forgive me for making an uproar."

When Annabella heard my voice she looked at me as if she were begging, I shook my head and told her,"One second Annabella." Both of their glares turned into smiles as soon as I said I was sorry. "Well aren't you a polite colt!" said the librarian, "Oh since you didn't mean any harm its ok, besides almost everything scares me, but I'm glad you still apologized." said Fluttershy.

"Wow that was quick to forgive!" I thought to myself, "I didn't know I had that effect on girls." As my ego was rising rapidly, Annabella came over to me and broke her long silence."Skylar, Skylar, Skylar! I found the most amazing book I've ever seen! So I was wondering, could I please have this book! Please please please!" I let out a loud sigh, but the look on Annabella's face was too much for me to handle, that's too much cute for me. I drooped my head over and kindly asked the librarian," How much for the book ma' am?"

She looked at me and Annabella, letting out a "Hmmm" as if she was thinking about how high to raise the price. But a grin started to appear across her face. "Well lets see what book she picked out first, ok Skylar?" she said with a giggle. "Hmmm, she's got a good book too, actually one of my favorites to read. The Elements of Harmony."

Just the name of the book sounded like Canterlot Royalty, that book must cost a fortune! I looked at Annabella, Her eyes were still big, with her little lip quivering as if she was about to cry. "Im not going to make my sister cry on our first day here!" I thought to myself. My eyes still looking at Annabella, "What the hay, its just one book."I said silently. I spoke up to the librarian,"alright then... how many pieces for it ma'am." I said with a lot of regret in my voice. The librarian simply giggled and said, "Well Skylar, if she takes good care of it, and you and your sister come and visit every now and then, you can have it for free. does that sound ok?"

"By Celestias mane, these ponies are saints!" I thought to myself.

Annabella burst out with happiness," Thank you soooo much Ms. Twilight!" Annabella hugged her neck as she said this.

Twilight smiled and hugged her back, "Your quite welcome Annabella, So Do we have a deal Skylar?"

I quickly replied"Alright I can agree to that, Miss..."

"Twilight Sparkle, but please call me Twilight."

"Oh ok then thank you for the book Twilight, Im sorry we can't stay and chat, I have to go find my other sister?"

But I don't think Twilight really cared, as long as she got to meet us."Ok bye Skylar, bye Annabella!"

Annabella and I walked out, with her already nose deep in that book. I still started thinking to myself,"Wow what nice girls, are we technically friends now? Even if that one pony, Fluttershy, got scarred of me and didn't say another word after I apologized? Huh I didn't know I was that charming."
I got of track while thinking how good our first day was here. I made some new friends, and Annabella is going to meet some ponies tomorrow at school, and so is Angel, right after I pull her out of that bakery and pay for all the damages she probably did.
