Diary of a Ponyville Mare
The running of the foals (The Ticket Master)
Previous ChapterNext ChapterWell, today the whole of Ponyville made itself look foalish in front of Twilight. It only took us like two days to frighten the poor mare out of town it seems. Probably a Ponyville record, although with Pinkie Pie it's hard to tell.
Bon Bon and I were out (more on that in a bit) when we noticed a group of ponies gathered around the outside of Golden Oaks Library, where Twilight is living now. Now, the Library has never been the focal point of anything in Ponyville, so the unusual gathering piqued our interest. Apparently Twilight had a spare ticket for the Grand Galloping Gala! I guess it should be a surprise to us that the 'Prize Pupil' (or illegitimate foal) of our beloved Princess is going to get some tickets for the most fantastic event of the year!
Well, I assume its the most fantastic event of the year, I've never actually been. I mean, the tickets are like super rare, and only the biggest celebrities and nobles get to go. Of course I'll never get a ticket to attend, but hopefully one day I'll get to play there. I think if I still lived in Canterlot I may have had my chance already, I could make it into the Orchestra I'm sure. But I could never leave Ponyville...or more importantly I could never leave Bon Bon.
I wonder if she'd move to Canterlot with me?
Anyway, back to today. Twilight had a spare ticket and everypony was trying to persuade her to take them. Now, given that Twilight and I go way back, I thought I may have had a genuine chance to rekindle our friendship (at the gala) so tried to get Twilight's attention. But so did everypony else. So, when she started running, I ran after her.
I feel silly running all over Ponyville as part of a mob, but, you know, herding instinct is still strong and once the chase started we all seemed to be having too much fun. It was only later, when Twilight managed to evade us, that we all came to our senses and realised how terrible we had all been. I mean, Twilight is brand new to town and here we are hunting her down! So, we went to the Library later to apologise but it was all shut up and the doors were locked
I worry that we chased Twilight out of town, and our lives, for good.
Still, the evening walk with Bon Bon was nice. Oh yeah, I promised to fill you in. We had a wonderful day together, just hanging out. We had lunch at my favourite cafe, and spent the whole afternoon (before the fracas) just chilling in the park. It was so nice for both of us just to have the day off work and just hang out together! Hopefully we can share more times like that, but for that to happen I need a plan.
PS - Twilight hasn't fled town, she was still hiding. Poor thing! Bon Bon and I left her some sweets and a apology note in her mailbox so hopefully she'll get them tomorrow.
