//-------------------------------------------------------// New Friends New Problems -by Dragger Dragon- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// Arrival //-------------------------------------------------------// Arrival It was a beautiful day in ponyville. Twilight was walking out of her castle to find her friends and see what they are all up to. She wanders through town unable to find any of her friends and eventually makes her way to Sugar Cube Corner to see if she could find Pinkie Pie. Twilight goes inside in hopes of finding Pinkie Pie but only finds Ms. Cake working the front counter.     “Good morning Ms. Cake, how are you today?” asked Twilight, a little disappointed Pinkie.     “Oh hello dear, I’m doing just fine Pinkie took the twins out to the park which gives us a nice quiet day. What can I do for you?”,     “Well I was looking for Pinkie Pie but I know where she is now, thanks.” said Twilight as she leaves for the door.     “Ok, oh and Twilight, tell Pinkie that we want the twins to come back before lunch.” called out Ms. Cake. Twilight assures that she will inform Pinkie and runs off to find Pinkie. Twilight made her way to the park and looked for Pinkie. She wandered around the park until she found Pinkie playing with the Cake twins. Twilight walked up to Pinkie and the twins.     “Hi Twilight, what brings you to the park?” asked the pink exited pony.     “Hey, I was just looking to visit for a little while.” said Twilight. She joined Pinkie in entertaining the twins and informed her that the Cakes wanted the twins home before lunch. Pinkie was disappointed but understood. The two played with the twins for hours, after that they brought the twins home. After they dropped off the twins Pinkie and Twilight walked out and Pinkie Pie let out a huge gasp.     “What? What’s wrong?” Twilight asked looking for some sign of danger.     “Look, look over there!” she said pointing to a stallion with a gray coat, black mane and tail with a gray streak in it and purple eyes, she couldn’t make out his cutie mark because his wings was covering his flank. He didn’t seem too familiar but Twilight wasn’t sure.     “What about him?” Twilight asked.     “I don’t recognize him and if I don’t recognize him it means he's new!” pinkie shouted, running up to the stallion and Pinkie started talking to him. Twilight shortly followed, Pinkie and the stallion were engaged in a deep conversation. Pinkie Pie noticed Twilight standing there and introduced the two.     “Twilight Sparkle this is Dragger Dragon, Dragger Dragon this is Twilight Sparkle.” Pinkie said excitedly.     “Hello Dragger, if I may ask are you new here?” asked Twilight slightly intrigued in the new pony.     “Yes I recently moved here only today. I needed to get away and find a nice place to live. I’m just looking around to get familiar with the town.” Pinkie Pie gasped and said,     “I know, we should give you a tour!”,     “I would greatly appreciate that.” said Dragger, and with that they headed off first stopping by Sugar Cube Corner, simply because they were right outside it.     “So Dragger where are you from exactly?” Twilight asked as they walk to the next location.     “Oh that’s not important. Don’t worry about it.” This made Twilight a little nervous but she put it aside. They continue going through town and after some time Twilight decided to ask another question.     “So Dragger, what made you come to ponyville?” Twilight asked.     “It's a nice small town.” Twilight continued with the tour and noticed that Dragger seemed to be looking for something specific.     “Looking for something?” Twilight asked.     “Uhh… No just looking around.” Dragger seemed nervous but Pinkie moved them along. Through the rest of the tour Dragger was acting suspicious and Twilight kept a close eye on him. When Dragger was occupied with looking, for something Twilight pulled Pinkie to the side,     “I don’t think Dragger means well I think he might be planning something.” Twilight whispered to Pinkie and she just looked at Twilight with an annoyed expression.     “Twilight, really. You shouldn’t judge somepony you barely know. You should take the opportunity to know them better first.” Twilight chewed on this but there was not much time to get to know more about Dragger because shortly after the trio reached Dragger’s house. Dragger’s house was a cloud house similar to Rainbow Dash's house and coincidentally is located close to her house. Dragger bid the two of them farewell and took flight to the cloud house and that is when Twilight noticed something, Dragger, a fully grown stalin had no cutie mark. Twilight and Pinkie Pie went home, and Twilight put it out of her mind, It was rather late and felt that she was a little tired from the day and headed back to her castle and figured that she would question Dragger tomorrow but for now she would sleep so she headed back to her castle, said goodnight to Spike and Starlight Glimmer and fell fast asleep.     Dragger looked out the window. “Those ponies can ruin everything, as long as the mane six? Seven? However many there are they need to stay out of my way. If they know what is good for them.” Dragger looked out on the town that is ponyville and keeps a sharp eye out for anything that moved in the sleeping town.
