For what felt like a eternity after knocking, soon, you hear movement inside the house, and eventually. . The door unlocked and slowly opened. .
"H-Hello?" A soft, feminine voice came from the now open door, the voice was gentle and soft, not to mention reassuring. . .But one thing stuck out. . .
You knew that voice from somewhere
the Déjà vu caused your ears to perk up and you to look up . . .to make immediate eye contact with the mare in front of you . . . . Her soft, gentle but piercing eyes stared into you'res, her sky blue mane that turned into a deep ocean blue by the edges flowed freely in the dawn breeze.
You knew that face from somewhere too
Her eyes widened with surprise and she gasps softly. . ."That was adorable. . . " you thought. .
"O-O-Orion?!" She says with a stutter, adding to her cuteness factor, a warm smile slowly spread across her muzzle and, before you could grasp what she was doing, tackled you in a tight and warm embrace, causing you to fall flat on you're back, and her to land onto your chest, you felt your face flush a deep shade of red, not expecting this greeting at all. . .
She was your old friend from school. . . . Sapphire Breeze. . . With the great memories you to shared with each other, your nervousness faded and you hugged her back, not too tight, but tight enough. . . .
"H-Hey Sapphire! It's been a while!" You say to her, still red in the face. . .You're blush deepens after you realised you stuttered, but she either didn't notice, or didn't care. . . She looked up and him, a huge smile on her face. . . . . .You thought she was cute back in school, but now. . .You realise shes now more mature. . . And more beautiful than ever. . . .
"Yeah! it has! I missed you so much!" She giggles again, your blush slowly faded and you chuckled. . . .Her face turned a deep shade of crimson. . .she just realised the situation. . .She got off from on top of you and helped you up, you did most of the work however, she helped. .But she wasn't the strongest pony. . .
"C-come in!" she says cheerfully, she trotted inside and beckoned you to follow. . .
You didn't need telling twice as you walked in and shut the door behind you. . ."This is amazing! My old friend! And it just so happend i was applying for a job for her! . . .Maybe this will go better than planed!" you think, following Sapphire into the living room. . .Were a young foal was playing with some square blocks, bashing them together and making cute, untranslatable noises. . Sapphire giggles and looks at her kid . . . "He looked just like her! Minus the mane colour." you thought as you looked at the child, he had the same fur colour, but his mane went from a light blue to a deep red. . . He turned and looked at you, his deep, innocent sapphire blue eyes stared into you'res just like Sapphire's did. . .He jolted up and ran behind Sapphire, he poked his head out from the side and stared at you. . .
"He's realy shy. . Like, realy. . .He'll come around though! Wont you Haze?" She said as she ruffles his mane, he giggles and nuzzles her leg, she giggles also. . . She then realised something and looked into you're eyes . . . .
"Orion? Are you the one who applied for the foal-sitter?!" She said. . .You smile and nodded proudly. .
"You bet!". . . .You're face flushed as you're voice cracked . . . . .She giggles and nods. . .
"Awesome! Let's get you ready! No need to be nervous!" she said, reassuring you by booping your nose , you scrunch your face and boops her back in response, she scrunched her nose and looked at her nose, blushing lightly. . .
This is gonna be a fun job. .
Chapter 1: A New Beginning.
You wake to the annoyance of your alarm, screaming in your ear from the bedside table to wake up, you groggily reach over and hit the top of it a few times till the constant "beep!" of the alarm silences. . You yawn loudly and rub the sleep out your eyes.
"ughhhhh. . . Mondays, I hate Mondays. . " You mutter aloud as you get out of bed and stretch, flaring your wings. . You fold them back again and go into the bathroom and take a fresh, relaxing shower. . . You would have drifted off again. . .But alas, the sun has risen and the day has started, you must get ready for the day. . .Because today, you'll be meeting somepony. . .
After a thorough but relaxing wash, you stepped out the shower and dried yourself off with a warm towel, fresh off the radiator. You feel at peace, but deep down, your a little nervous. . Not a nervousness of a first date, or the nervousness that you get as your parents read your report card.
This was a type of nervousness that you get when you go for a job, but have no clue what to say. . . And that's exactly what your going today, at 12:30am. .
"I've been fired from one job, this one aint as big as a weather-pony, but it's still something." you say to yourself, you were fired as a weather-pony a few weeks ago, they gave you this months pay for the bills and food, but those hard-earned bits were being burned fast. . Too fast, you needed a job, you sigh. . you remained calm and looked at the time. .
12:15am. . .
oh great, what a was to make a first impression: Be late. . . You panic and gather your things with haste, you place the saddle-bag on your back and make your way outside . . .
"Time for a New Beginning" you say, smirking as you extend your wings and take to the skies. . .
It is not long before you touch down, in the centre of a peaceful place you've come to know and love, Ponyville. . .You decide to take it slow, don't wanna get sweaty after a shower, right?
As you approach the outskirts of Ponyville you recall the address the mare so kindly told you, you make your way towards the household of the Breeze family. . .
"Twenty three. . .were is- oh! There!" You say aloud as you spot the door with the numbers "23" Upon it, you sigh heavily, getting nervous all over again, you approach the door, raise your hoof. . . .and knock. . .
