A Fresh Start can do Wonders
I let out an exhausted yawn as I shifted in my train cart to get moire comfortable. I let out a smile smile of hope as I stared upon the moving train views of the beautiful night sky greeting me with it’s beautiful nightly glow of glorious stars and the gleaming moon. The traveling train represented hope for a better start yet the pains and foolish mistakes that caused such a travel The girls and I really screwed up this time didn’t we. We’ve always been so focused on our cutie marks making sure to try everything we can in order to receive them. But we didn’t know our limits and that caused us to loose sight of what is important to have fun and to truly earn our cutie marks. This foolish and selfish ways led us to even going as far as to try and start a gossip newspaper about the whole town. We even went and done did go after our families and their stories. I embarrassed my brother and he grew angry because of it. Though he and Granny Smith are still at least talking to me and show affection. Applejack however, is a different story she still refuses to talk to me and won’t even show me any affection at all. She said that I was a disgrace to the family name and I don’t blame her for saying that when I didn’t even value what our family values which is showing care towards our family no matter what. And now I must pay the price.
Though I am glad that I can finally have a fresh start in Manehattan I get to meet my cousin Babs and her parents who have decided to let me stay with them. They heard about the whole mess and offered to take me in while things settle down and I appreciate them for that. I can’t wait to meet my family because I only ever see them on family reunions so I know it’ll be special. They’ve even said they recognized what they did as wrong but still believe that everyone deserves a second chance and I’d have to agree with that. I am a little upset that Diamond Tiara didn’t receive the punishment she should have for orchestrating the whole event and blackmailing us into sending out more photos. I know it’s might petty but she should have gotten more than just kicked out of her position as head chief editor. I know that Filthy Rich punished her accordingly but she still should have gotten detention. I understand that it would look bad for Filthy Rich’s business if his daughter recieves even one detention but just because there business is necessary for the economy of Ponyville doesn’t mean she should be allowed to get away with everything. I guess Filthy Rich being a prominent business stallion in Ponyville allows for some sympathy among the school board.
Fortunatly I won’t be alone. Sweetie Belle also has relatives in Manehattean and her parents along with her sister have already planned for her to leave they said they need a little space same as mine. Which is understandable giving how cruel we were.
I noticed that Sweetie Belle was fast asleep. I didn’t want to disturbe her. I then noticed she woke up [Yawn] Applebloom?” Sweetie Belle asked.
“Oh sorry Sweetie for waking you up.” I said apologically.
“No it’s alright this move is hard on the both of us.” Sweetie Belle said.
“Yeah I’d have to agree moving to a new city can be scary especially when we lived in a rural area.” I said.
“Yeah I won’t lie I’m a little scared.” Sweetie Belle admitted.
“Yeah so am I. But I’m still glad for the fresh start and to see the sights I do love Manehattan fashion a lot and the street food.” I said excited that I get to still see the sights of Manehattan.
“Oh I love the fashion too especially all the designer socks they sell.” Sweetie Belle spoke excited.
“And I heard that the film crew in Manehattan gives tours.” I said excited and entiustaitc at the idea.
“And I heard the same goes for the museums and art exhibits.” Sweetie Belle said pleasntaly. I know that she has a love for the arts and culture.
“Well at least despite the fears that come with it there are some joys to like I get to meet Babs.” I said excited and pleasant and the thought.
“Yeah and I get to meet my relatives too. I’ve heard their designers.” Sweetie Belle spoke excited to learn about Manehattan designer clothing.
“See we have many good things commin our way and despite the fact that there are fears too we can still go through it together.” I say pleasantly that I can go through this with my friend.
“Yeah together.” Sweetie Belle said.
That was helpful and I won’t lie thinking of all the good that was to come helped me to finally get some sleep.
I let out a groan as I woke up to the sound of the train whistle blowing. I looked out the window to see Celestia’s sun rising in the distance. “All passengers we’ll be arriving in Manehattean in thirty minutes.” The ticket stallion said.
That was our cue we got our stuff together and went outside. I then saw Uncle and Aunt Orange. They smiled when they saw me. I went over and hugged them “It’s so good to see you Applebloom , you've grown since I last saw you.” Uncle Orange said.
“We heard about what happened but we won’t judge so long as you don’t do anything like that here.” Aunt Orange said.
“Don’t worry I won’t I learned my lesson.” I said guilt struck.
“It’s alright every child makes mistakes and it is best to encourage the best behavior rather than worry over things we can’t control.” Aunt Orange said.
I then saw who I believed to be Bab Seed. I could see that she had a short Manehattan styled mane and tail and better yet no cutie mark. From what I’ve heard she and her friends have been bullied for that which is not right but I can relate to that we’ll be the best of friends.
“Howdy there I’m Applebloom.” I said politely in my farm accent.
“Nice ta meet ya the name’s Babs.” She spoke in a Manehattean accent which I found to be really cool.
We moved my things into the room I would be staying in. I found that I would be sharing a room with Babs but I don’t mind it’s a way we can get closer. I noticed that part of the room was decorate dto loom like my old farmhouse. I was awee struken and felt deep appreciation that they were so kind towards me despite what I’ve done Aunt and Uncle Orange smiled “You like it.” Uncle Orange said.
“I love it “ I said.
“Hey by any chance ya wanna listen to some Sapphire Shores music I just love them tunes and I usually do it about this time.” Babs offered.
“I love her music.” I said. We then galloped off. And I knew I would get along great here this fresh new start was turning out great.
