"Phew, all packed and ready to go for tomorrow," the blue male pegasus sighed, sitting down on the his couch.

The blue pegasus in question had green eyes, a small tornado and a lightning bolt adorning his flank and went by the name of Swift Gale. He was just a normal weather pony in Manehatten, just living in a small apartment near the middle of the city. He generally did his job without any complains, except when he had help clean out the pollution in the air. That was the only part of his job that he hated because he had wear an uncomfortable mask on his face to avoid breathing in the air and the smoke smell would get stuck on him for the rest of the day. It was especially bad on days that rained.

However, this was the last day that he would have to do such a thing for this city. While he liked living in the city, he didn't really care for all of the different types of personalities from ponies he had to deal with on a daily basis. He also felt like he was always tied down by the city atmosphere and his constant, monotonous schedule of getting up, going to work, and coming back home to crash in his bed. He was tired of this life and needed a change of pace, which is why he was moving to a much quieter town by the name of Ponyville. He had already contacted the different real estate ponies and made the necessary arrangements to move new furniture into his new house. The moving ponies had assured him that all of his furniture would be in his new home by the time he got there. He looked over at his bed and realized that he forgot one thing.

'I forgot to order a bed for my house,' Swift thought to himself, walking over to his phone.

The Next Morning

"Last call for all passengers heading for Ponyville," The conductor called on the intercom, warning any ponies who haven't gotten on the train yet to do so immediately.

Swift was looking out of the window, watching all of the passengers that were heading to Ponyville for one reason or another rush onto the train. Luckily, the azure pegasus had a seat all to himself as his train car didn't have a lot of ponies on it. A loud whistle sounded from the from the front of the train followed by a, 'Next stop: Ponyville' from the conductor, the train slowly started to move.

'A new town, huh?' Swift thought to himself, watching the scenery pass by. 'I guess its not a bad thing to start with a nearly clean slate.'

It was difficult to describe how the pegasus was felt, due to the abundance of emotions that were floating around inside him. He didn't know what the future was going to entail and that scared him, but it also made him excited. As the thoughts his new life flowed through his head, he let out a yawn. Not only did he have to wake up early enough to double check all of his items that he had packed, but he also had to run quite a distance to the train station from his apartment. He couldn't really fly in the city, due to all of the buildings and the random bits of airborne trash flying between the buildings. All the more reason he wanted to move to someplace new and not crowded. With another yawn, he decided that he might was well catch up on some sleep. It was still a bit dark outside after all.

A few hours later...

"We will be at the Ponyville Station shortly," the conductor announced. "All ponies who are getting off at the next station, please grab your bags. All ponies who are staying on the train for the next stop, please make way for those getting off at the station and have your tickets ready."

Swift, who had recently woken from his nap, grabbed his bag from the railing above him and prepared to get off the train. Once the train stopped, he hurried off the train.

'So this is Ponyville,' the azure pegasus thought, looking around at the rural town. 'Seems nice.'

He saw the different ponies conversing with each other as he walked through the town in the direction of his new home. Some were giggling, some were watching their foals play with other foals, and some were running small shops. To him, it seemed like it was a town where everypony knew everypony...well a town where everypony knew at least everypony's name. He didn't know why, but the sound of that made him break out in a smile. Maybe it was the atmosphere of the town that made him feel so optimistic, but it felt good.

'Well, I need to hurry up and get to my new house. I've got things to unpack and arrange.'

Swift unfurled his wings and took to the skies, eager to get to his new home.

Author's Note

I want to apologize for the mediocre first chapter. I've never been good at making first chapters. In fact, in all of the fics I have written, I think the only one that I've only written one first chapter that I'm proud of. It's an Acchi Kocchi fic if you're all wondering (if you're a fan of cute slice of life anime, give it a watch. It's one of my favorites). Anyways, after the first chapter is when I start to get going more with the story. There will be definite references from Persona 3 and 4. I'm not sure about Persona 5, although I'm definitely going to use music from it because I feel that it would fit pretty well in this fic, as well as music from both 3 and 4. I will also be using music from various other games that I think would fit the situation. Anyways, I hope you all will enjoy this fic! Later!
