Once in a Blue Moon

Chapter One

After only a couple hours sleep I realized that maybe staying up all night to look at the stars wasn't the best idea.
"BEEP BEEP BEEP."

“UGH shut the buck up, can't a colt get some sleep around here?”

I trudge slowly out of my bedroom when I remembered I hadn't even started on my letter to Meteor Shower so I sat down at my desk and pulled of my quill and paper.

Dear Meteor Shower

last night I made a discovery and I must speak with you right away

signed, Blue Moon

“Their now i just have to......."

"KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK"

Ha perfect timing”

Getting up and heading towards the door, I rolled up the scroll to give to the only person I could trust it with. Opening the door I can't help but smile at one of the few ponies I consider a friend.

“Hi there Ditzy, perfect timing, I need a scroll delivered." I say to the crossed eyed mare.

“Hi there Bluey, sure thing, but first here's your mail.” she says slightly muffled with all the papers and envelopes in her mouth.

“Thanks Ditzy.” I throw the mail on the table.

“Oh! I almost forgot, it's two bits for a scroll delivery.”

“O alright, give me a sec.” I head back into the house for her bits and a muffin.

“Here Ditzy.” I hoofed her the bits, “Oh, and here's a muffin. I know they're your favorite.”

“Oh! Thank you, thank you. I really REALLY love muffins.” She says, snatching the muffin out of my hand and devouring it in mere moments.

“Your welcome Ditzy, but I really need that letter delivered ASAP.”

“I'm on it, and thanks again for the muffin.” She says as she flies away.

I can't help but chuckle at that looneys mares antics, but I soon realized it would be awhile before meteor even got my letter. So I had at least a couple hours of free time, with it being my day off.

“GRUGGGGGG”

(I'm not good at noises that is supposed to be a stomach growl)

“Well, that solves one problem.” I headed for the kitchen. Just as I open the fridge door I come to a stunning realization that I have no food.

“Oh for Celestia sake!” Slamming the fridge door in anger.

It wasn't that much of a big deal to get food, but that isn't the problem. It is all the ponies in the middle of town. While Ditzy and Meteor shower are my friends, they are pretty much the only ones. It's not that I don't like any pony, it's just I have learned over the years not to get too attached to too many ponies. It's better for everypony that way.

“Sigh” Seeing no other option I grab my saddle bag and bits.

“Might as well get this over with.”

After a long fly, I finally make it to Ponyville.

“I guess this is the price I pay for living so far from Ponyville.”

Landing in the middle of town I set off for supplies, remembering that I've only been to Ponyville a couple of times, and only for food and the occasional quill.

“Ok. Just got to do this fast and then I'm back home.” As I said those last words a very loud gasp could be heard. I turned around to a pink blur with a triple balloon cutie mark sprint off in the other direction.

“Sigh. I have a feeling this is not going to end well.”
