The New Filly in Townby PandaPonyKeroChaptersMoving DayFirst Day of School, at least for me.The Rest of the StaySneaking into the SchoolLemonade, in the shade!Moving Day"But Mom!" I pleaded, "I don't wanna move to Ponyville!" "Why not, Zebra? I mean, You could make new friends!" Mom said annoyed with me. "I'm fine with my friends here!" "Zebra Dream, we are renovating and we don't want you getting hurt on any of this equipment." Dad warned me. "Dad! I won't get hurt! Trust me!" "You are a young filly. You could get hurt. The decision is final. You are staying with the librarian,Twilight Sparkle." "Fine." I said as I walked to my room to gather my stuff. I packed my journal, toothbrush, pillow and blanket. "You are staying with the librarian, Twilight Sparkle." Those words stuck in my head. I think I heard of her before. "Ready to go." I muttered as I walked out the door and got on my scooter. Off to the train station. I was taking the morning train there. I was still thinking about the pony I was staying with. "Twilight Sparkle...Like Head of the Royal Guard, Shining Armor's little sister?" I thought as I looked for a place to sit. I sat in an empty booth in an empty car. "Next Stop, Ponyville!" The conductor boomed. I sat, and shed a tear. I didn't know why, but just the thought of moving and renovations and if I could make friends and I just exploded. Tears just flooded out of my eyes. It was a long hour. ~~~~~ I ended up falling asleep and got woken up by the conductor. "Miss...is this your stop?" He asked. I rose and nodded. Out of the train I headed. I thought I had to find the library. But, there was Twilight. She was holding a sign that said "Zebra Dream" on it. I shuffled over and said "Hello..." "Hello, I am Twilight Sparkle." "I have a question..." "What is it, Zebra?" "Are you..." I couldn't ask anymore. "Am I what?" "Nevermind..." We headed through town and stopped at the apple cart. Twilight set 2 bits on the counter and asked how many apples she could get. "Applejack!" A small yellow pony, about my age whimpered to her appeared to be older sister. "Apple Bloom!" She snapped. "Go play with Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle!" "Fine." She walked past me and I smiled. She looked at me and motioned for me to come. I pointed my eyes at Twilight, and Apple Bloom rolled her eyes. I, being the idiot I am, went with her. "Hi! I'm Apple Bloom!" "I'm Zebra Dream." I smiled. "You gotta meet Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle!" "Ok!" We walked for a while, and got to a tree house. "Bpple Aloom" She said. "Come up." "Umm. Drebra Zeam?" "Come up." I climbed the ladder into the tree house. ~~~~~ "Girls, this is Zebra Dream!" I waved. "Do you have your Cutie Mark yet?" An orange filly with a purple mane asked. "No, I don't." I said. "Welcome to the Cutie Mark Crusaders!" She said. "I'm Scootaloo, and the one next to me is Sweetie Belle." "Hi! So, what is the Cutie Mark Crusaders?" "A top secret organisation of fillies who don't have their cutie marks." I chuckled and said "I am a filly... who doesn't have a cutie mark!" The girls erupted with laughter. "Well, I guess I better get going, Twilight probably is losing her head. I climbed down the ladder and Apple Bloom came down. "Can you help me to the library?" I said. She nodded and we made it to the library. First Day of School, at least for me.I woke up and got ready. Twilight said that today was the first day of school for me. I ran to the school and there were fillies and colts playing in the courtyard. I walked and sat down under the big tree. Two fillies with their cutie marks, one with a tiara and the other, a spoon walked up to me. I wonder what their special talents are. I decided to finally pipe up. "Hi! I'm-" "Blank Flank!" They both shouted. "What the hay is that supposed to mean?" I just shrugged and stood up. The teacher walked out and announced it was time for class. I ran into the school, and I made it to the classroom. I sat in the back, in an empty seat. Lucky for me, Apple Bloom was in the same class. The teacher came in and asked "the new student" to come up and "introduce herself." I sat in the back like I have been there like, forever. "Zeb..." I slowly stood up. I walked to the front and smiled. "Hi...I'm Zebra Dream..." "Hello, I'm Miss Cheerilee." "I moved here from Canterlot, because..." I didn't want to be a sap and say for renovations, but it was the right thing. "My parents are renovating. I'm staying with Twilight Sparkle, the librarian, and so far my...um.. 17 hours here were a bit colorful. I also got the royal Canterlot voice nailed!" I gasped for air and almost said something but, I knew I should of stopped while I was ahead. I went back to my seat. ~~~~~ Okay, you know what should go here. Boring teaching topics, lunch, recess, more boring topics, but I'm not gonna bore you with that. Let's just say, school was awesome! No, I didn't get picked on anymore, everyone was amused with my (true) story, and I played kickball with a bunch of other foals! I even picked a daisy! I got back to headquarters, and gave it to Twilight. "I picked it in the school yard," I said smiling. "It's beautiful, Zebra! How was school?" She asked. "AMAZING!" I shouted. "That's wonderful! Now, can you help me with these books?" "Sure." I said picking one at a time up. I set them on the empty shelf, nice, neat, and arranged by title. "Do you have any of the new Daring Do books?" I asked. "No, I have been eyeing the the newest one, I just don't have the bits. I need about... 2 more." "I can get you those 2 bits!" I said, smiling. "We can set up a lemonade stand!" "Great Idea!" The Rest of the StayWe bought the book. I guess time flew by, it's already May, I guess I must go back. I packed and sadly went to the train station with Twilight and Spike. We rode the train together, because Twilight had wanted to talk to the princess. The train, was jammed not like a year ago, on my way here. I guess you can say a change of pace! I wrote another thing in my journal. "I enjoyed the stay, and actually participated in Winter Wrap-Up! I kept this journal, I wrote everything about anything in Ponyville. I think this could be the last time I ever might be worried about going to a new place." So, you can now say, and look back on, this whole story, and say things and smile along. Reader, I might just beg to go back. Someday. I might just be The New Filly in Town again! Sneaking into the SchoolTwilight beat me home. I gulped and opened the door. "Zebra! There you are! Have you eaten any coconuts?" "What? No...I'd be dumb to. I'm allergic to them." "Well, your parents sent over a list of your allergies, what your allowed to watch, do and say." "I'm sorry that I ran off earlier..." "You ran off?!" "Yeah I went with Apple Bloom to-" "To Where?" "Her friend's tree house.." "Oh. Ok then." Phew. I stepped out side. "Oh no you dont!" Twilight dragged me back in. "What was that for?" "You are not allowed to leave the house after 6:30." "Twilight. It's 3:00." "Fine. You can go out." "I'll be back by 5!" She sighed. "Fine." ~~~~~ I ran out and got on my scooter, I rode to the school. I wanted to explore a bit. I looked for a way in and there was only one. An open window on the 2nd floor. There was a couple cinder blocks and a wood platform. I struggled to push the cinder block to the spot where the ramp should be. ~~~~~ I checked my watch and it was 3:30. I rocketed and then off the ramp I went. I didn't make it. I chickened out and landed in the bushes. My scooter was laying on the grass, broken. I climbed out of the bushes, and tried to fix my scooter. "No...No...NO!" I shouted. I cried again. About what I thought 15 minutes later, a shadow, came up and tapped on me. "Zebra..." I blinked twice. "Zebra..." I blinked two more times. "Twilight said to come find you." "Huh?" I sat up. "D...D...DRAGON!" I shouted. "Calm down!" He shushed me. ~~~~~ "Zebra! I'm Spike, Twilight's assistant." "Your a nice dragon?" "Yes." I peeked at my watch. 6:31. "OH MY CELESTIA!" I jumped up. "Oh my, oh my, I'm so dead! Santa Hooves probably isn't gonna give me presents! My parents are gonna hate me! I stayed out past my curfew!" "Zebra! It's fine!" Spike sat down with me. "Santa Hooves knows you didn't mean to." He smiled at me. I couldn't help but smile back. "You sure?" I said. "I mean it. Now, why is your scooter broken?" "I'll tell you on the way back to the library." So I did. I told him about how I had made the ramp, and tried getting into the school. "Will you not tell Twilight?" "Secret's safe with me." Lemonade, in the shade!Okay, I was really excited to set up this stand. Twilight was singing a song she knew when she was a filly, I kinda enjoyed listening to the song, and it hit me. "Happy Lemons! We should name the stand Zebra, Spike and Twilight's Happy Lemons!" I shouted at the lemon cart. "Great Idea!" She said, buying 2 dozen lemons. "Zebra, How many lemons should we get if we get 2 dozen?" "Twenty Four!" "Great! How did you figure it out?" "We learned about multiplication and dozens and stuff in school." "We have all the supplies!" We headed to the library, and we started making the stand. A couple nails here, wood here. I made the sign it was in the shape of a lemon, and said "Zebra, Spike, and Twilight's Happy Lemons!" We smiled and hung the sign up. "Ready for the lemonade." We headed to the kitchen and made the lemonade, and clocked in at 2:00, The hottest part of the day. 1 bit per glass, free refills. ~~~~~ Our stand was a success! We got the 2 bits, but we dropped 10 for supplies, and got 3 IOUs. I have a feeling we won't get those 3 bits. So, The book cost 40, we made 23 and we got...50 bits! "I did the math, and we have enough! We have 50!" "Hooray!" Time to get that book.
