Diary of a Ponyville Mare

I saw a Griffon today for the first time, and I only have one thing to say: Griffons are jerks! Here we all were, market day and everypony is having a great day when Fluttershy comes walking through the town guiding a family of sucks with these little ducklings towards the river. Can you imagine anything cuter?

(I said cuter, Bon Bon is sweet, not cute...there is so a difference. Shut up!)

And then Ms Attitude gets all aggressive to Fluttershy for bumping into her, making her run off crying and scaring the ducks all over the place. I thought about challenging her, but then Griffons do have sharp beaks and claws, and didn't fancy getting into a physical fight. Especially in front of Bon Bon, I would look like a thug especially as i know how to look after myself in a fight. I am a unicorn afterall.

But thats why I went to Gilda's party...Bon Bon wanted to go and if anything was going to go down, I was going to make sure it goes down East Canterlot style. We look after our own. Instead, it looks like Rainbow Dash got an accidental revenge and Gilda fled the town, so at least things might get back to normal. It's not like another stranger is going to turn up next week and be mean to ponies without anybody standing up to them!*

On a completely unrelated, I did come to my own personal realisation over the past few days. I've decided i need to sort myself out a little. I mean, I need to make more bits. A lot more. Bon Bon pays more than half of everything and whilst she seems completely coops with that, for the sake of our friendship, i need to pull my weight more. I mean, i should be able to treat her to nice things every so often, that's what best friends do, right?

Problem is, there's not really enough paid work in a town like this for a classical musician. That's why even though Octavia Melody has a house here which she comes to for relaxation and inspiration, she spends most of her time in Canterlot and Manehattan. Does that mean to make the most of my mark I will need to spend more time away from Ponyville? Are the bits worth it?
