The Tale of Shadow Rider

                                                             The stallion landed at the entrance of town.

                                             Standing with pride in his posture and a face of pure excitement.

                                             "This is it...my  first step to fame,fortune and adventure.

                                              I...Shadow Rider shall go down in history as Equestria's best journalist!"Yelled the stallion prouder than before.

                                                              Ponyville was as lively as Shadow anticipated.

                                              The market place with stands for all kinds of wares.

                                              The park filled with all kinds of outdoor decor and ponies relaxing or having fun.

                                              The neighborhood with friendly mares and stallions.Shadow Rider knew,this was his new home.

                                              He couldn't have wanted anyplace better than this.

                                                             Town hall was right smack in the middle of Ponyville.

                                              It was mostly dome shaped with a small tower at the pinnacle of it.

                                              This was the place  to purchase his homestead.

                                              Shadow approached while observing the inside of the building.

                                             "Good morning sir,how may I help you?"Said a lime green mare with a pink mane that was tied back in a bun.

                                             Shadow thought she looked cute,but not much more than that.

                                            "Ah yes,I'm looking to buy a home"

                                            "Certainly,heres a brochure of houses available,feel free to ask any questions."

                                             She then handed Shadow a pamphlet filled with photos of available homes and details of them.

                                             Shadow set his sights on a house with four rooms.What he'd do with the other three rooms would come to him later.

                                            "Right here,this one,thats the one for me."

                                             She looked over it on the brochure.

                                            "Very well and how will you be purchasing it?"

                                             Shadow's look of hopefulness  then washed away into disappointment.

                                            "I don't know..."

                                                             Shadow will deal with it another time.

                                              Now was the matter of a job.

                                              Shadow arrived at one of the offices in Equestria for the newspaper "The Equestria Daily",

                                              Shadow was put into an interview for the job of a freelance journalist.

                                              The one interviewing him was a light brown colored stallion with  white bowler hat.

                                              His name was too boring of a name to remember for Shadow.

                                             "Now,why do you think you should get this career?"He began

                                            "Well,the life of a freelance journalist is an adventurous one and thats just the life for me."Shadow replied.

                                              The interviewer just raised one eyebrow.

                                              "Okay then,do you have any past experience?"

                                             "No,but i traveled a lot."

                                               After several more questions,the interviewer then said "Sir,almost none of these show any reason we should

                                               Put you up as a freelance journalist."

                                               "Please!"Shadow begged.

                                               "I'll  prove myself,give me a chance."

                                                The interviewer paused for a moment before speaking.

                                                "Fine,you bring us a good story for the next issue,then the job is yours."

                                                 Shadow rushed to him and vigorously shaking his hoof.

                                                "Thank very much,I shall not disappoint."

                                                  Like that,he then rushed out the door regaining his hope.

                                                  At last,things shall go in Shadow's favor...or at least he hopes.
