Prologue

"Hi, my name is Anthony Mouse, despite my name, I am a mare not a stallion. I live in a small house in an un-named village, which everybody calls "Een Kleine Dorp". I share my house with Scorpius Wilde, who is yonger than me."

I put down my quill and look outside, fillies are frolicking in the streets.

"I work as a teacher/mentor to the young fillies, and I also work at the bakery. But, despite my love for kids and bread, my true passion is art."

I get up and check on Cookie, who is sleeping in her crib. I quietly enter and tuck her in. Cookie yawns,

"Muisy?" she sleepily babbles.

"Ik ben het maar, maak je geen zorgen."

Cookie snuggles into her blanket, and falls back asleep.

"Slaap zacht, kleintje." I whisper as I leave the room.

I go back to my study and continue writing.

"My Mama died last summer and Pa went missing shortly after, and since I'm the oldest it's up to me to take care of everyone. This is my family;

Score- He is often away because he's an athlete and is joining some elite team called the Wondercolts or Wonderbolts, something fancy like that.

Dove- She is a teen model and she is traveling the country with her job.

Cookie- She is a very small filly, not even in school yet. I've adopted her, and am her legal guardian/caretaker.

Scorpius Wilde- I've adopted her too. She and I met while she was on the run from the cops a while back, and ever since then I've let her stay with me. She really is a sweet pony, but she can be very devious.

Almost everypony in the town looks up to me, except ponies my age, such as Cinnamon Crumble. Cinnamon works at the bakery with me, except she makes pastries. Cinnamon always teases and ridicules me, but I'm too shy to say anything."

I look out my window at the bakery, it's closed right now but it opens up again in a few hours.

"I'm just a small town ponygirl trying to survive.
