Previous ChapterNext ChapterPonyville 2:00pm
The friendship express that has departures from Canterlot an hour ago has officially arrived at the Ponyville train station. The train stopped at the platform and let out a sound. After that, the carriage doors opened, and many ponies were seen getting off the train.
"Come on guys, it's time to see our new hometown." Nightlight told them.
"Lets go!" Shining exclaimed in an enthusiastic tone.
Nightlight, Twilight Velvet, Shining Armor and Twilight Sparkle all stood up from their seats in unison. After that, they pulled up the trolley handles of their luggages and began to make their way to the opened door of the train carriage they are in while dragging their luggages. Once they got to it, they all stepped out of the carriage. After that, Nightlight took a deep breath and exhaled it, then a grin appeared of his muzzle.
"Alright everypony, follow me and we will reach our new home in Ponyville!" Nightlight said in a contented manner.
The family all let out some delighted and cheerful responses in a way to express their elations in moving to their new hometown. Then, they all ran to the exit of the train station platform.
Once the family have all gone past the turnstiles of the train station, they all exited the station and were now officially in Ponyville. And they were all flabbergasted by the sight of the cool and beautiful town.
The town was filled with many houses, shopping centres, restaurants, office buildings and many more. There were also many ponies and changelings seen walking around the peaceful and equanimous town.
"Wow, just wow, look how big the town is!" Shining Armor exclaimed with am astonished expression.
"Look at all of those shopping centres." Velvet commented while starring at the shopping centres in town. She wondered how many groceries and products she could purchase in those buildings.
"My new work must be somewhere around here." Nightlight said as he looked at some of the eight stories office buildings in town.
Twilight was mostly very astounded by the sight of how many ponies and changelings are in the town. Ponyville must be a very populated town.
"Anyways, shall we all go to our new house?" Nightlight asked them.
"Of course we should!" Velvet exclaimed with a wide smile "I can't wait to put these luggages aside and rest in our new property." She told him.
"Indeed, but before you could rest, we need to set up the furnitures we purchased in the furniture store in Canterlot." Nightlight told her, and that made her frown due to the excessive and rough work.
"Setting up the furniture does seem very frustrating and hard dad." Shining commented with a frown, and Twilight nodded in agreement "But, at least I can sleep once I set up my bed." He said, and Twilight agreed with her brother on the bed bit because, she does wants to sleep after a long train ride from Canterlot.
"Yes it does look rough and hard and all but hey, we can all rest after we finish setting up our furniture." Nightlight told them logically "The quicker we get to our new house, the faster we can set up our stuffs and rest." He finished.
Velvet, Shining Armor and Twilight all nodded in unison from Nightlight's statement because, the quicker they set up their furnitures, the faster they will eat dinner and go to bed. Because, tomorrow, is a big day for both Shining Armor and Twilight Sparkle. So, the family all rushed through the crowd and took off to their new house.
During the walk through Ponyville, Twilight saw many ponies and changelings in school uniforms heading to school, and Twilight noticed that the mares and female changelings school dresses are almost the same as hers, she must assume that they are from the Highschool where she will be attending. But, she'll have to wait and see by tomorrow.
The journey to their new house was a bit difficult due to their luggage sometimes getting stuck on edges of pedestrian crossings. Twilight also had a rough time going past the carriages being dragged by horses with ponies and changelings on them. Some of the ponies and changelings on the carriages are from the fire, ambulance, and police services too considering the textures of the carriages as well as their uniforms.
Twilight once got distracted by the sight of a large library in the town which nearly resulted in her being separated from her parents, but she was lucky that they were walking in front of her the whole time instead of turning left and right. She'll have to visit the library during the weekends or after school with a friend or two depending on how she will cope with the ponies and changelings there.
After a half an hour walk in Ponyville through the crowds of ponies and changelings, as well as crossing pedestrian crossings, and going past lots of carriages. Nightlight, Velvet, Shining Armor and Twilight Sparkle have all made it to their new home. Twilight looked at it and saw that it was quite large, it is two stories, it is at least one meter tall, there are five windows, a smoke stack on the top, and it's much more larger than her house in Canterlot.
"Here's our new house." Nightlight said as he brought out the key from his pocket. After that, he walked up to the door of their house and stuck the key in the keyhole. Then, he turned the key ninety degrees to the right and the door was unlocked. So, he twisted the door knob with his magic and pulled it open. After that, he looked back at his wife, son and daughter. "Come on guys, let's go in." He told them.
Velvet, Shining Armor and Twilight nodded in unison and walked up to the front door of their house while dragging their luggages. Once they entered, their muzzles all gaped when they witnessed their new living room.
It was very large with a lengths of one meter, there is also a kitchen area in front of them, staircases were on their right.
"Wow, the living room sure is large!" Shining Armor said with an impressed expression.
"Agreed." Twilight said with a nod.
"I can picture myself reading my favourite comic books on the couch here." Velvet said "Oh! Oh! I can even cook lots of foods in the kitchen!" She added, and that made her children frown because, there is one dish that they dislike.
"Alright, let's cut the conversation." Nightlight said while searching in the storage room "Lets set up our new home!" He told them as he pulled out lots of boxes in the large storage room. And his wife, son and daughter all let out vexed groans from the sight of the large boxes. This is going to be a long day.
The family first started with the living room, they first set up a couch as well as two hoofchairs. They unboxed the boxes that contained the parts of the furnitures and began to build them. They used hammers and screwdrivers for the obligations.
The armchairs were the most simplest because, to their great surprise, it is just wrapped up in the box, all they had to do is to removed the large wrapping paper from the comfy chair and put them opposite of each other which they have already done.
After that, they began to build the couch. They unboxed it and pulled out many parts of it. Twilight and Shining were in charge of building it while Nightlight and Velvet were in charge of bringing the other two boxes which were the childrens boxes to their bedrooms.
Twilight was having a rough time on building the couch due to the instructions book being very bewildering to her.
"Okay come on, how do I?" Twilight asked while rotating the instructions book left and right. After a brief second, she let out a frustrated groan and threw the book to the floor. "Augh! This is so aggravating!" She yelled with a vexed expression.
"Come on Twily, we need to learn how to do things ourselves." Shining told her as he brought the instructions book towards him with his magic "Dad and mom including myself won't always be here to help you all the time." He added.
Twilight decided to disregard her brother's veracious remark and continue with building the couch.
After a ten minutes of frustrated building, Twilight and Shining Armor have officially finished building the couch.
"There, that's the couch finished." Twilight sighed as she wiped off some sweat on her forehead.
"Indeed." Shining said as he stood up "Now all that's left is the dining table." He told her as he pointed at the box that was at the right side of the living room near the kitchen. And that made Twilight groan in frustration and fall face first onto the floor.
The dining table took a while to build due to Twilight inadvertently dropping two screws underneath the couch which took her a while to find with her magic, but she and Shining Armor managed to build the table together.
After twenty-five minutes, they were finished in building the dinning table at the same moment where their parents have finished with building their bedrooms. Then, Twilight Velvet began to set up the kitchen with dish racks, dishes, bowls, cups and many more. This took at least twenty minutes to do.
The family have officially accomplished in setting up furnitures in their new house, just in time for dinner. Twilight Velvet cooked lasagne which took five minutes.
Once she was finished, she placed the lasagnes on four plates and brought them to her husband, daughter and son. After that, the family began eating.
"Mom, I really cannot wait to go to my University tomorrow." Shining told her with a smile.
"I'm glad you are feeling stoked my son." Velvet said with a smile. Then, she looked at her daughter "What about you Twilight? How are you feeling during your first day of school tomorrow?" She asked.
"Excited I guess."
"You guess?" Nightlight asked with a raise of his eyebrow "Come on Twily, school is the greatest moment of your life." He told her.
"I mean, I'm gonna have to learn to cope."
"Listen Twilight." Velvet called her, and Twilight looked at her mother "I know that first day of school is tough and all but, you need to have some enthusiasm in you, being very depressed is bad for your mental health." She told her.
Twilight took a while to think about her mother's words. She is feeling very anxious now on her first day of her new school with lots of things to do. But, it is true that being disconsolate would be bad for her mental health. So, she forced herself sighed and look up at her mother with a smile.
"Understood mom, and thank you."
"You're welcome sweetie." Velvet cooed "Anyways, you two should probably start eating quicker because, tomorrow is a big day." She told them.
Twilight and Shining Armor both nodded in unison and began to eat their lasagne quicker. Tomorrow is going to be the start of their new school life.
