I stared out of the train window. It was hard to focus when everything moved so fast. Both the scenery and my life. I couldn't stop thinking about what I would do now. I already missed Canterlot. The big city, the clean streets and the beautiful architecture.
And let’s not forget the ponies, everyone just minds their own business and knows how to behave. Just the way I loved it. It almost hurt to know how different Ponyville was gonna be. I had no friends there, no place to stay permanently and my career was going nowhere.

“Stop looking so grumpy.” Bass Blues didn’t even look at me while she said that. “Ponies will think that I’m forcing you to go with me.”

I turned my head to look at her. Bass Blues’ muzzle was buried in one of her coltfriends letters. They met once and apparently fell in love at first sight.

I put on a big fake smile and said as sarcastically as I could
“Oh yeah we wouldn’t have that, since I’m so absolutely thrilled to go with you to visit your ever so perfect coltfriend.”

Her head shot up from the letter and she glared at me with angry eyes, “We aren’t visiting we are moving in.”
She snapped at me. I just turned back to the window.

I glared down the cliffside on which the train drove. “You met the stallion once.” I decided to focus on the little town in the distance. I figured it had to be Ponyville. “How do you know you love him enough to move in with him?”

I saw her reflection turn towards me again. She looked at me with a serious face and a small frown across her muzzle. “I just do. You wouldn’t know, you have never been in love.”

I could feel a little pang in my heart at that comment. I muttered a reply “Of course I have.”

She sighed “I would hardly call that love Creepy Quill. You barely knew the colt.”

I didn’t answer but maybe there was something about it. I had never been in a proper relationship. I wasn’t very lucky with the stallions nor the mares. And the most intimate I had ever been with anyone was a kiss. And not a very good one at that.
Creepy Quill, the mare who didn’t know how to fall in love.
Maybe I would write a story about that. A pony who didn’t know how to fall in love. Of course I would have to finish the dozen of stories and such that I had already started.

Bass Blues always had luck on the dating front. Everypony liked her, whether it was her looks or personality, I had no idea. No wait, it couldn't be her looks. Her and I look almost exactly the same. Many ponies asked if we were twins. Both unicorns, same shade of bordeaux red coat, both dark green eyes. Almost clones, except for the manes and tails. Bass Blues had a chestnut mane with a few big curls, her tail was the same color and was one big curl.
My mane was short and straight and so was my tail. It was a few shades lighter than my coat and both the mane and tail had two blue streaks. The streaks were dyed in.
I also had freckles.

Bass was a few years older but I got my cutiemark first. I didn’t get it very early though, I got it very late actually. Bass just got hers even later.
Bass’ cutiemark was a note with strings on so that it looked like a guitar. Mine was a scroll of paper with my initials on it, C Q. Very creative I know. It wasn't even all of them, my full name is Creepy Amelia Quill, not just Creepy Quill. But I had given up on questioning it long time ago.

“You’re zoning out again Creeps,” I cringed at that nickname. “The least you can do is look happy that you are getting out of that big city.”

I wanted to tell her that she could go kiss my dirty hooves but I didn’t want to start a fight. Again.

“Sorry,” We looked at eachother once again. “I just lost the TRAIN of thought.” I snickered at my own joke. Bass Blues didn’t seem to understand. “You know, ‘cause we’re on a...” She rolled her eyes.

“Please, just stop.” She said with an irritated frown. I figured that she did, in fact, understand my brilliant pun.

Bass packed her coltfriends letter back into the saddlebag at her hooves. I gave her a confused look but she just sighed and pointed out the window to her left. The train was slowing down and we passed a few small houses. Had time really passed that quickly?

Bass Blues looked at me again and said “Now Creeps remember that String Chimers house aren’t very big so you have to crash on the couch until you find somewhere to stay.”

“I didn’t even ask to be here in the first place.” I snapped back at her, “I like Canterlot, it’s beautyful, big, clean and less… Ponyville.”

She looked at me with an almost sympathetic smile, if that’s even possible for her, and said “I’m sure you’ll settle in quite nicely, and there’s nothing wrong with a small town.
String even mentioned a library so that’s something you know. And the librarian’s actually from Canterlot too. Hey, maybe the two of you could become friends.”
She turned towards the window facing the town again. She took a deep breath and said “Nice and fresh air. I’m sure that you will love it once you get used to it.”

She smiled but I knew it wasn’t because of the air. The train had come to a halt and a gray unicorn stallion stood and waved through the window.
She immediately waved back through the window and started to put her saddlebags on. I followed her lead but I also picked up a case containing my typewriter and notes.

We stood up and walked towards the train door. I held the case in my magical aura and had to avoid hitting all the ponies who was walking in the tight hallway. We finally made it to the door and Bass practically threw herself at her coltfriend while I just stood and took it all in.

I ended up walking away from my sister and String Chimer who chatted endlessly. I saw the town of Ponyville. I felt a big knot in my chest as I muttered to myself

“Fresh air.”
