This paragraph is an explanation of the story and why I'm writing this. Not reading this will not affect understanding the story for anypony. Skip this paragraph to go straight to ponies. This is a ponyfied story that was a big part of my life, starting at the beginning of high school. I had no friends, but the transition from middle school to high school changed that. Vahkii has graduated into a music career at the time the story starts, but in relevance to myself, I am just entering high school about to make my first friends. They had all come to me and introduced themselves. Vahkii being me, and the mane 6 being strangers who turned into my future best friends. This is the ponyfied story as a tribute to them for changing my life around, but it is for everyone to read and enjoy as any other story.

Vahkii is sitting by himself on the train. He's happy just to be out of Las Pegasus. He always hated that city, the unfriendly population, the uneccessary crowdedness, everything. He hated it all. Ponyville was his destination, he read several articles about the ponies who've moved there from all around Equestria, and every one of them is still happily living there. He kept those articles with him, and they were setting on the table in front of his seat. Being able to see them and re read them gave him more faith in this new place. It will be a long ride, estimating to last through the night. Vahkii had already been on the train for almost a full day now. He noticed he was thinking back to his old home, and tried to take his mind off of Las Pegasus again. Vahkii is always lost in thought, and usually he can't catch himself to break out of it. But he wanted happier thoughts. He thought about what he knew of the town so far, not much. But he knows he will have his own house. It's close to the towns' bakery and right across the road from the most popular bar. His train of thought is broken by the train steward coming up to him before they shut down the bar and stop selling refreshments.

"No thank you, just, wake me up when we hit Ponyville okay?" He asked, hearing his own voice trail off made him realize he was more tired than he felt.

"Sure thing sir! Have a good night!" The pony said as she went to the next passenger for the same question.

Drifting off into sleep wasn't very hard, the movement and sounds from the train made it easier for him. He doens't have to worry about missing his stop, so he can sleep and rest all he can for his big day tomorrow. He's never lived alone before. He had both parents back in Las Pegasus, even though they never cared much for him. He's still a bit nervous, no matter how happy he feels from leaving that awful city. He just hopes ponies don't bully him and treat him like they have his whole life. He hopes for a change, I mean, this place is supposed to be the friendliest, right?...
