Meteor's Adventure

The fallowing morning Meteor was awakened by the sound of cheering coming from just outside the wagon. He lifted his head and looked around, Trixie had already woken up and was no longer in the cabin with him.

Meteor stared at the far wall of the wagon, for some reason there was a curtain hanging on it that definitely wasn't there before. He peaked out from behind a curtain to find that the curtain wasn't hanging on the wall, because there wasn't one. The wall was now laid over on a couple of stilts hold it up, changing it into some kind of stage. Upon the stage stood Trixie, waving her hoofs about dramatically as the made various explosive clouds of colored smoke appear, along with some sparkling flares of magic.

The roars of the crowd suddenly stopped as Meteor emerged from behind the curtain rubbing his eyes and yawning.

“What's going on Trixie?” He asked as he scanned over the large crowd.

“Trixie is preforming. Go away.” Trixie said in a hushed voice.

“Preforming? What for?” Meteor asked.

“It's how the great and powerful Trixie makes her money, Trixie flaunts her amazing magic and if anypony likes it they give Trixie money. It's like street preforming. Now stop interrupting.”

“Well I'm gonna go get something to eat, then I'm gonna see if I can find a quick way to make money. I'll be back around sundown.” Meteor said before walking off stage.

“Sorry for the interruption my enthusiastic little admirers, but now you have the great and powerful Trixie's undivided attention.” He heard Trixie say as walked away.

'At least I know why she's so full of herself.' He kept walking. 'Now where should I eat. All these restaurants look so expensive, I don't think I have enough money.'

Meteor walked toward a small cafe on the street corner with hanging plants attached to a purple and pink striped awning. The seating outside the cafe was plenty of short green tables, almost all of them occupied by customers.

Meteor stopped at the curb in front of the cafe as his horn began to surround itself in magic. Meteor look up at his horn, “Not again,” He said just before his horn started to drag him away from the cafe, he tried to fight it as usual but his front left hoof slipped off the curb which caused him to lose his balance. His horn flung him through the road, slamming him against somepony who was passing by, knocking himself, the passerby and what he held on his shoulder to the ground.

“Woah!” Cried a feminine voice, as the object the other pony was carrying hit the ground.

The pony he had knocked to the ground immediately jumped up and quickly galloped over to where the voice originated from.

“Princess Celestia, Are you alright?” Meteor heard as he lifted his head. Princess? He rose his head to see what he had done. There, where the other pony had run to, he saw four royal guards standing around a large white alicorn that lay on the ground beside a shoulder carriage knocked over on it's side.

The guard that Meteor had bumped into ran back to him and started an onslaught of words. “What do you think you're doing running through the road like that? You could've hurt the Princess. You better be glad you didn't do any harm to her or so help me I would have you locked in the dungeon for your insolence.”

Meteor tried to interrupt a few times to explain what had happened, but the guards endless ranting wouldn't let up.

“Rusty! Quiet down!” Yelled the regal alicorn as she approached them both.”But―” The guard tried to defend himself but the princess shooed him away with her hoof.

The princess turned toward Meteor and smiled “I'm terribly sorry for my guard's irrational behavior mister―” She paused.

“M-meteor venture, your highness.” He said sheepishly.

“No need to be so formal Meteor Venture. Please, just call me Celestia.

“Now, why were you in such a hurry, and if you don't mind me asking, what was that spell you where using, was it a levitation spell?”

“Oh, it wasn't a levitation spell it was―” Meteor own stomach interrupted him. A loud growling which made him blush slightly.

Celestia smiled at Meteor's embarrassment. “Why don't you tell me over lunch at the castle?”

“Are you serious?” Meteor said sounding as surprised as anypony would.

“It's the least I could do after one of my guard threatened to throw you in the dungeon.”

“I would love to!”
