What happens when Muse Scratch has to live in Ponyville for 1 year?

Muse Scratch (brother of Vinyl) has to go to Ponyville for one year because of a family emergency. He goes to Ponyville, and sees what stuff is there, when he sees there are lots of wonders, not just in Canterlot, but in all of Equestria.

A lot of characters are involved, but I only had to fit 5 in.

The Beginning

"Today's the day." I think. "I have to go to Ponyville. At least it's for a good reason. But 1 YEAR THERE!?THAT'S OUTRAGEOUS!" I get over it quickly. I get out of my bed, start packing for my ride, when my mom and dad quickly appear out of nowhere. Then my mom says, "You're very calm about this, why is that?" "I'm just- happy!" I say sarcastically. My dad quickly says, "Well, you should go, you wouldn't want to miss your train!" I think to myself, "It's like they don't even care how I feel about going away from my hometown, not seeing my best friend, nor my girlfriend." So I just get over it, again. My bag is all ready and my train leaves at 10:00,and it's 9:30. I quickly say, " Are you guys coming to say our final goodbyes?" "Sorry, I guess our final goodbyes start here." My mom says. My dad says, " We have to pack up too! We are going on a big adventure!" I say," Oh." I have a frown on and I immediately hug them both, and get on a cab. I have everything, and I aboard the train, seeing only 15 ponies get on the train behind me. I saw 9 ponies aboard my train. I'm guessing this is going to be a bumpy ride. I then I sit while the train is getting started. The other ponies are just minding their own business. I wanted to not be forever alone on the train, but I didn't have a choice. I just had to sit there, looking like a loner. Finally, somepony asks me, "Are you going to Ponyville to stay?" I reply, "Yeah! Are you?!" He then replies, " Oh no, I'm only going for business." Now THAT was a bummer. So after that, I just sat there, doing nothing. When there was a sudden stop at another train station. 3 more ponies came into the train, and the other train, was stopping here, so no other ponies went into the train(s). It was just 4 more hours away, so I decided to take a nap. !-4 HOURS LATER-! Not thinking, I say, " Are we there yet?" Somepony answered, "Why yes, we have arrived!" I was relieved, I've waited for this moment for so long, the only problem is, Vinyl isn't going to pick me up. They only gave me her address. I then get out of the train, get my luggage, and try to find my way, when a fully pink pony sees me, and I see her too, so she trots up to me and says, " Hi! Are you new here?" I reply, "Yeah, Wait. Do you know who Vinyl Scratch is?" "Yeah! I know her- but first, my name's Pinkie Pie!" She replies. I tell her, "My name's Muse, Muse Scratch!" She then exclaims, "OOH! SO YOU'RE VINYL'S BROTHER!?" I then say, " Yes, but I'm just gonna ask you this, do you know where she lives?" She says, " YEAH! Wait- I CAN TAKE YOU!" I say, " Okay?" in awkwardness. She then gives me a small tour. I'm just going along with it when suddenly, she sings this random song- about me. I remember the lyrics: "You're new to this town, and I won't give you a frown, because I now we're gonna be the bestest friends! I'm gonna show you around, for you'll get to know the town, so our fun will never- ever end! I then tell her, " Wow, how do you come up with songs so fast! I can't even do that!" She says, " It's a natural tale- WAIT! You make music like your sister!" I tell her, " Kinda, but I have a different vibe, but sometimes I make the same kind of music ~ or genre." She then screams out, "Oki-Doki-Loki!" Then she says to this purple unicorn that's reading and walking- at the same time, "Hi, Twilight!" She replies, saying," Oh, Hi Pinkie! Who's your friend?" "He's new to Ponyville, and he's your neighbor's brother, you know, Vinyl!" She then replies, "Of course I know, Pinkie. Why wouldn't I not know my neighbor? Anyways, nice to meet you- uh, I really didn't catch your name." I tell her, " It's Muse, Muse Scratch!" "I'm Twilight Sparkle! Nice to meet you and welcome to Ponyville!" "Thanks!" I reply. "Wow, she's nice! I hope I meet other ponies like that!" I think out loud. Pinkie replies, "Well, you are going to! There are alot of ponies as nice as her! Some aren't even ponies!" I tell her, "So there are donkeys, and zebras! 'Cause I used to know some!" "Yeah! Even chickens!" "Wha'dya mean?" I reply. She says, "You'll get me later." I'm just thinking that this place might be actually un-miserable! So then I see this orange country pony, then Pinkie tells the mare, "HAY, APPLEJACK!" This 'Applejack' mare replies to her," Hey, Pinkie! I see somepony besides you! Who you talkin' to?" "Oh, him? He's new to Ponyville, his name is Muse Scratch!" Applejack then tells me, "Howdy, and welcome to Ponyville!" "Thanks!" I reply. "Well, here it is!" Pinkie says. "Oh, okay! Thanks for everything!" I reply, then I see Vinyl waiting for me outside the house. " Oh my gosh, I haven't seen you in like, so long!" Vinyl tells me in joy, " And I see you already made some friends!" I tell her, " Yeah! But only like 3." I can tell by the reaction in her face, that she doesn't care. Then she says, " Well, this is my room mate, Octavia. "Nice to meet you, Muse Scratch." Octavia says. I reply, " Nice to meet you, too."
