A Unexpected Romance of A Showmare
Introductions
Load Full StoryNext ChapterHello my name is Fiction Quill. I am a novelist who writes stories of romance. Mainly stories of other ponies finding love. I write these stories to help others see that there is still love in the world. I don't ever see myself finding love because writing is my only love. I am completely content with being single as long as i can continue to write. I was living in Manehattan, but it is way too noisy for a novelist so i have decided to move to a quieter town one where i can have my piece and quiet but still find romance to write my stories. I moved to a town called Ponyville. I also here the Princess of Friendship Twilight Sparkle lives there so i expected it to be very interesting to live in a town with a princess. What i didn't expect is to write my own story of love i never thought i would find but i am going to save the juicy stuff for later in this tale. It all started when i moved to Ponyville.
"Ah yes fresh air sunshine and piece and quite in this small little town." I was walking through town after just unpacking to get the layout of the town and to see if i can find any romance blossoming in Ponyville, until this unusual pink earth pony approached me.
"HI! I'm Pinkie Pie." Are you new here? How long are you staying? What's your name?" I chuckle as i stick my hoof out to shake hers.
"Well hello there Miss Pinkie Pie. My name is Fiction Quill. Yes i am new here, in fact i just moved into Ponyville. I am a novelist and i moved to Ponyville to be able to have some piece and quiet while writing my novels." Pinkie gasped and shook my hoof excitedly and bouncing up and down with joy.
"OH MY GOSH! I have to throw a *Welcome to Ponyville* party for you to celebrate you moving in and do you want to be my friend and hang out sometime? By the way just call me Pinkie Pie or Pinkie or Pinks. No need to call me Miss." I couldn't help but laugh at how excited Pinkie Pie is.
"That sounds rather nice and i wouldn't mind that but not all the time i am a rather busy pony after all with my work." Pinkie Pie smiles.
"Okie dokie lokie! So what kind of novels do you write?" I beam with pride i explain about my novels.
"I write stories of romance mainly ones of other ponies that find romance with their permission of course."
"OH! I have a friend who would love to meet you then. She loves romance novels!" I laugh
"Well you might have to introduce me to this pony at the party."
"Okie dokie lokie. Meet me at Sugarcube Corner in an hour!" With that Pinkie Pie ran off to the sweet shop to get the party ready.
After an hour had past i went to Sugarcube Corner as instructed by Pinkie Pie where i found majority of Ponyville waiting for me to arrive.
"WELCOME TO PONYVILLE!" all of the ponies yelled in unison.
"Well i must say i have never received such a warm welcoming before it is a pleasure to meet you all." Everypony resumed the party afterwards and Pinkie Pie approached me once more.
"Come on Fiction i want to introduce you to my closest friends!" I followed Pinkie to the counter where i saw 5 other ponies and a baby dragon standing there talking amongst themselves until they noticed me walking over. "Hey everypony this is-" but before she could finish she was cut off by a white unicorn with a curly styled purple mane and tail.
"FICTION QUILL! Oh my star's darling i am ever so delighted to meet you! i own every single one of your novels and might i say they are quite divine!" I chuckle as i run the back of my neck.
"So you must be the friend that loves romance novels that Pinkie Pie told me about."
"Why yes. My name is Rarity i own a Boutique here in Ponyville. So you are the new resident here?"
"Why yes i am."
"That is marvelous to here darling. Welcome to our little town. I also must say your novels sound so realistic for being fiction novels." I couldn't help but chuckle.
"Although my name is Fiction Quill my novels aren't fiction at all. When i see a pony find romance i get their permission to write a novel about them."
"Oh my i had no idea maybe if i find a romance you could write one about me?" I smile.
"I would be happy to Miss Rarity."
"Oh just call me Rarity darling" Rarity then winks at me. As she did the little dragon gave me a angry glare. i merely laugh at the dragon's jealousy and smile at Rarity.
"Very well Rarity but i will ask that you please don't try to flirt with me. Not trying to be rude or anything but i am not looking for a relationship just here for the piece and quiet to write my novels." Rarity frowns
"Oh i see i am very sorry darling i didn't mean to make you feel uncomfortable." I smile at her reassuringly.
"It is alright Rarity i would enjoy being friends though but at this current point and time i am not interesting and finding romance for myself just trying to help others realize romance is still out there through my novels." Rarity smiles.
"I would like that very much darling and i am very appreciative that you told me straight forward that you aren't interested in me instead of leading me on."
"No i can't stand those type of ponies and in fact i actually expose those type of ponies so that way other ponies don't get used or led on." As i turn towards the others i notice one of Pinkie Pie's friends is Princess Twilight Sparkle.
"P-Princess Twilight! Your grace." I bow my head in respect for the Alicorn.
"Please Fiction Quill there is no need to bow. I may be a princess but i don't consider myself better than anypony else." I stand up and smile.
"You are too kind Prince-" Twilight put her hoof to my muzzle to silence me.
"No need for formalities either just call me Twilight." Both of us smile and i nod.
"Alright Twilight."
Pinkie Pie Bounces in and introduces me to the rest of the group. First pointing to a cyan colored pegasus with a rainbow mane and tail. "This is Rainbow Dash."
The cyan mare flies over and greets you. "Yo! Names Rainbow Dash. Best flyer in all of Ponyville dare i say Equestria."
Pinkie then points to a orange colored earth pony wearing a cowboy hat. "This is Applejack."
Applejack tips her hat as a greeting. "Howdy there partner!"
Pinkie then points to the cream colored pegasus with a pink mane and tail which appears to be very timid and shy. "This is Fluttershy."
Fluttershy quietly greets you. "H-Hello Fiction Quill..."
Pinkie then points to the last one of their group which is the baby dragon you noticed. "And this is Twilight's assistant Spike!"
"Number 1 assistant actually!" Spike corrected Pinkie which Twilight nods in agreement.
"Oopsy my bad." we all share a little laugh.
I continued to have fun at the party with Pinkie Pie and her friends. After the party i headed back home to get some rest for the next day ahead of me.
It was morning now and i began the day with breakfast and some crossword puzzles to get my brain going. After breakfast and a few puzzles i go out for a stroll to get some fresh air and to hopefully find some romance to write a new novel about. Sadly though this town seems like it doesn't have any new blossoming romances to write about, in fact this town seems to be more focused on friendship than romance. I wasn't getting anywhere so i decided to quit for the day and just go to the apple stand in town ran by applejack and a large red stallion.
"Well howdy there fiction! How are you this afternoon?"
"I am doing alright i guess i was hoping to find some new material to write about but no luck. So who is this with you?"
"Oh! This is my big brother Big Macintosh."
"How do you do sir? Are you enjoying this day?" Big Mac nods.
"Eeyup. But none of this sir business though i am not much into formalities so just call me Big Mac."
"Very well Big Mac. Anyways i would like to buy a few apples i am feeling quite famished." Applejack smiles and hands me 3 apples.
"That will be 3 bits please." I hand her 3 bits with a warming smile.
"Thank you Applejack and Big Mac. Oh one more thing. Which way is the library?" Applejack frowns.
"Well we don't have a library anymore. It got destroyed by a varmin named Tirek. It was Twilight's home until he blew it up. But if you are wanting to read something i am sure Twilight wouldn't mind opening up her personal library to you." I nod as I tip my hat off to Applejack and Big Mac.
"Thank you Applejack and i will be sure to send my apologies and regards to the princess when i see her." after i bid them farewell i begin to trot towards Twilight's castle.
While on my way to the castle i notice Fluttershy conversing with a strange looking creature. I became curious on who and what this creature is so i decide to go and strike a conversation with them.
"Good afternoon Fluttershy. how are you doing?"
"Oh! Good afternoon Fiction! Me and my friend where just about to go and have some tea over at my cottage. Would you like to join us?"
"That sounds inviting but i am heading over to Twilight's to do some reading. I am curious though who and what is your friend here?"
"Where are my manners. This is my friend Discord. Discord meet Fiction Quill. He just moved to Ponyville Yesterday." Discord levitated off of the ground in front of me.
"Why hello there Fiction Quill! As Fluttershy said i am Discord. The spirit of chaos and disharmony. Delighted to me you!"
"The pleasure is mine Discord. I have heard about you before. You sent Equestria into a total state of chaos before if i remember right. I am guessing you have reformed?"
"Oh yes i have! Thanks to Fluttershy here." Both Fluttershy and Discord smiled at one another and i am guessing she couldn't see it but i could tell by the look in Discords eyes that he has feelings for Fluttershy which caused me to smirk.
"Well i need to be going to i will see you two later." i waved goodbye to Discord and Fluttershy as they waved goodbye to me as i made my way to Twilight's castle once more.
When i made it to Twilight's castle i saw a small yellow and red wagon with a sign that had a star wand on it.
"It appears she has a guest i hope i am not intruding." I begin to open the front doors to the castle as Spike steps out of the castle.
"Hey Fiction! What brings to here?"
"Hello Spike. I was just coming to see if Twilight wouldn't mind if i could use her library."
"Well you need to ask Twilight about that but i am sure she won't mind. Anyways i have to go run a errand for her so just go on in."
"Alright. Thanks Spike." Spike took off as i walked into the castle and began calling for Twilight.
"Twilight? Are you home?" Twilight and a blue unicorn mare with a white mane and tail and a cutie mare that looks the same as the sign on the wagon outside walks out of Twilight's library after hearing you call.
"Oh! Fiction Quill! how nice of you to stop by! I know you only just arrived but me and my friend Trixie have something important to do."
I finally take a good look at the one she calls Trixie and i begin to blush. Wow she is so beautiful. Wait what am i thinking?! I came to Ponyville to write novels of romance not to find romance for myself!
"Um are you OK Fiction?" Twilight breaks me out of my trance and i walk towards them and spoke to the blue unicorn.
"My apologies i was spacing out. Anyways Twilight says your name is Trixie right? Well Twilight has already said my name but i do believe a proper introduction is in order. My name is Fiction Quill. You may or may not have heard of me but i am a novelist but it is an honor to meet you." I bow in respect for Trixie Which causes her to blush a little.
"Oh well yes i have actually. My full name is Trixie Lulamoon. I may not own any of them but i have read every one of your novels at least 3 times each and actually the pleasure is all mine Fiction but i am flattered." That causes me to blush as i look into those purple eyes of hers. Twilight may have the same eye color but Trixie's eyes have something about them that make them shine brighter to me. Twilight smirked as she could see the way we are looking at each other.
"Well as i said me and Trixie have something important to do but you are welcome to come along if you want." I smile and nod as i agree to go with them. I think i am going to enjoy life in Ponyville after all.
