Chapter 2
Previous ChapterNext ChapterArriving at ponyville, you felt like it is something that the Princess didn't mention to you. She was very careful of talking about this unicorn's powers. She touldnt be that strong either way. You had locked away people who really tried to hurt other ponies with their magic, but only a few times had you encountered someone really strong. You hadn't slept in one and a half day now, which was really tearing its way at your powers. You arrived at Ponyville approximately midday. Now you just had to get your house and sleep. You could look after the purple unicorn tomorrow. You had just entered the main road in the town and walked towards the main hall where you'd hopefully find the mayor.
Suddenly you spot a pink earth pony looking at you. Many ponies did but she had a very special look. Her mane and tail was also pink and looked like cotton candy which was a bit out of the usual. You walked towards her but before you could get that far she jumped up in the air, probably in panic. She ran the other way and you just stood there. Not sure if you should give it a chase or not. Your body wasn't really that great after no sleep for a certian amount of time. You decided that it wasn't time to catch her now and you continued walking in the direction of the main hall.
You walked to the two doors and opened one of them. The room wasn't as big as in the Canterlot palace but it was big for this little town. You walked toward the desk where a brown stallion sat. He looked at you before greeting you. "Gooday sir, are you here to meet the mayor?" He said with a cheerful tone. Wow someone that actually didn't look or comment on my mane or tail or is slightly wierd, you thought while you quickly replied, "yes". You could get used to this place if just some of the ponies was like him. "It is in the door right there," he pointed to a door on the far end of the hall. You thanked him and made your way towards the door. You knocked four times before getting a reply. You opened the door and entered the room. You saw the pony who sat in the big chair and reckoned she had to be the mayor. "Good day" you said, try to hold a happy tone even though you wanted to go to sleep, very fast.
"Hello", she replied.
"Are you the mayor?" You had gone through one boring dialogue today, please don't let it be another one.
"Yes, I am. What is it?" She had a very aggressive tone but you were glad that this might hold the conversation part short.
"I am here for the house. I was sent by Princess Celestia." The only time you really had to say that. "Please don't mention the last part to anypony." Asking for favors. Hopefully she would understand.
"Ah, yes." She handed you a key, suddenly a bit happier. "It is at the end of the town, just follow the road until you get to the end and your house it the last on the left, and don't worry, I won't say anything." She gave you a wink. Seems like you just got to trust her. Well that was a sudden change in the mood. You didn't really care as you got the key.
You thanked her before walking out of the office. You said goodbye to the brown stallion and left the building. You had to walk through half of the town one more time, but you guessed it gave you sometime to look. The town looked awfully quiet to be in the middle of the day. You passed what looked like a bakery. Seeing noone inside you continued walking. Too bad, because you were kinda hungry too after the trip.
Your house looked....interesting. This interesting on the other hand was more of a wierd interesting. Basically, it was a tree. You had seen a few tree homes before but there were none in Canterlot and this would be the first time you had stayed in one before. The tree looked solid and what was supposed to be the house seemed to have been knocked into it. You couldn't help but chuckle at the idea of a tree home. It looked very cool. You admired the house a bit more before making your way to the door. You opened it and turned the switch....
"SURPRISE!" you jumped backwards and almost out of the house. The crowd suddenly stopped dead and looked at you. You didn't realise it before you felt that your horn was glowing. Well this is awkward. My good first impression in front of most of the town is going great right now. You thought as you stood there ready to fire the knock out spell. You quickly break out of the idea and your horn returns to it's normal colour. "What are you all doing here?" you say quickly after the little battle ready incident. The pink mare, the same you had seen running off back when you arrived, bounced up to you. "It's a party, were you surprised,were you?" the pink pony bounced around you before you replied, "Yeah, very". "Yeah I know, you went all like VOOOM and we were all like WOW". The pink pony describe the incident that happend for two minutes ago. "But why?" you say to try to switch the topic. "Well, I saw you in town but I haven't seen you before and that means your new because I know everypony in town. And since your new you probably don't have any friends and that's means that you are alone and that made me sad" she said with a sudden sad look. "So I arranged this party for you to meet everypony in Ponyville." she cheered up again in reckord time. Mental note to self. Stay away from pink mare, she is insane. "Well, thanks I guess but...." You try to explain the situation that you hadn't slept for the past day and a half, but she interrupted you. "I am Pinkie Pie but my friends call me Pinkie, what's you name? What's your favorite colour? where are you from?" The question didn't seem to come to an end. Suddenly an orange mare put her hoof in the crazy mare's mouth and she stopped....Thank Celestia. "Now settle down, Sugarcube, no need to break the poor guy." She gives you a smile. "Oki doki-loki!" Pinkie says as she bounces away, as happy as when she riddled you with questions.
"Hey, thanks." you turn to the Orange mare with a smile on your face. "No problem, Pinkie can be a handfull sometimes." A moment passes before she asks "So what brings you to our little town?" Well that was expected. You tried to keep it simple and don't give away too much. "Buisness. Mostly." She gives you a strange look like that didn't explain much (Which it didn't) but she cheers up. "Alrighty then. I'm Applejack. And you are?". You introduced yourself. "Nice to meet ya'." She says before she walked away to meet some of the other party members. You figured you'd had to do the same. It was nice here. Nopony seemed to care that you hadn't fixed your mane in a while.
"Sweet celestia" a mare behind you yells. Please don't let it be the mane. For Celestia's sake don't let it be the mane. You think as you turn around. The white unicorn looks at you with a terrified look. They are everywhere, aren't they? You think before making out a "Is there a problem?" She seemed to have gotten back to reality before she said "Your mane, what happend". "Almost two days without sleep kinda does this to you." You said with a more agressive tone. It was ok to look but by Celestia don't yell it out. "Well, in that case, sorry". She looked at you with a sorry face. This was a small victory, as she seemed to be the only one who cared in this entire town. Seeing as probably all the residents was in your house. "No problem", you say before presenting yourself. "My name is Rarity. Where are you from?". "I am from Canterlot..." her eyes lit up, not that this came as a surprise. The pony seemed to be mad about fasion and where else would be better then the capital itsself. "You simply have to stop by my Boutique tomorrow and tell me EVERYTHING. What's the latest fasion? Is there anything new on the fasion front at all? Do you know anyone who is interested in fasion? I can give them a wonderful cut in price". Well, this is going just fine. You think before thinking about anyone in your enviroment who would be interested. "No, not anyone I could think of. And sorry, I am not the fasion type." She looked at you with a sad look. "But you still have to let me make for my 'assault' on your mane. Stop by my store tomorrow." She gave you the directions, not like you were going to remember, before she made her exscuses and walked away. You had to get something to drink. That would probably be the thing that could hold you awake for at least some time. You made your way to the punch bowl. You poured something up in a glass before slowly lifting it to your mouth.
"I wouldn't drink that if I were you." a sudden voice came from behind you and you stopped dead in your tracks. You turn around and stands face to face with a purple unicorn. This might be her. You say before thinking of a reply, "Why not?" you say with a suspicious tone in your voice. "Well that would be because that drink is going to make you spit fire." She replies. "You got experience?" You say with a teasing smile. "Well you could guess what I drank at my welcome party". She said while pointing at the bottle. Could it be this easy? "Well, thanks for the advice." You say as you decide that you had gone too long without any sleep, but this would be the perfect time to gain some information. That and it wouldn't be smart to leave a major part of the town in your living room.
"So you are the unicorn from Canterlot?" You face her.
"Yes, my name is Twilight Sparkle", she says with a friendly voice. Wow, it was that easy. You thought as you felt little joy in it.
"And you do what here?" That migth have come off wrong but she didn't seem to notice, or care.
"I run the local library here which I currenlty live in, and on the same time I'm on a quest form the Princess to discover the magic of friendship."
Well this was exactly what you were after. You know where she lives, or atleast after a few talks about where you could find the library. This mission is starting off very good. "But what brings you here? I heard from Rarity that you're from Canterlot", she says after a little while. Wow, that white mare was quick with gossip. "Well, I am here for buisness. Can't tell you more then that, unfortunatly". You couldn't get on the wrong hoof with your target. That would be unwise and could sabotage the entire mission. "Oh it's ok." She replies with a dissapointed look but to your relief. She didn't press it any further.
After all the guests had left, and a certian pink mare had promised you a lot of baking goods and more parties and so on, you were finally alone. This gave you time to think about what you should do in the following morning. The most likely thing would be to check out this library but first you had to get some food. It was no food in the house but you were too tired to go out right now. Instead you crashed onto your bed and fell asleep.

A/N: Sorry, I can't make the chapters longer. I wish I could but I'd have to make extra time for it (And I lack the experience). The biggest problem about the English part is that every person who knows english can make a sentence and it would most likely be correct. Me, on the other hand, got a few problems with it due to the Norwegian way to make a sentence and the english way. That was my best exscuse for anything.
PS: Thanks to the people pointing out the "Queen" mistake in the title. Damn you Equestria and your wierd Monarchy system. Either way, thanks for all the support. I really appreciate it.
