Current events

[3rd person POV]

After the rather eventful events that happened approximately a day ago, things calmed down rather fast.

"Ms. Starlight! Can we get closure on what happened with the mysterious creature in the woods?"

Well, except for the dang journalists. Starlight sighed as she entered the town hall, swarms of mosquito-like journalist buzzing in her ears.

"Ms. Starlight! What are your thoughts on surrounding towns lack of approval with your handling of this situation." Another reporter asked.

She trotted over to her vice-mayor office, a little quicker everytime another reporter asked a question. 'I swear one of these days I'll just stop caring. It's only been a day and that's how low I am right now.'

Approaching the door, she slammed it open causing the surrounding reporters to flinch. Turning to them, she puts on her 'best customer service' face and opens her mouth.

"Your questions will be answered in due time, the investigation is still ongoing so for now please leave me alone. Please." She says, muttering the last part. With a sigh, she enters her office and slams the door shut. The mob of reporters, not satisfied with her answer, try to knock on her office's window, which for some reason is shatter-proof.

"Leave me alone!" Starlight yelled, closing the blinds to her window and effectively canceling any further questions from the reporters. "Dear Celestia I hate this so much."

Trotting over to the average looking desk in the middle of the room, Starlight examined her surroundings thoroughly. 'Now that I think about it, I didn't get to actually explore this room as much yesterday.'

She was inside of a room. Hah, I'm just joking I'm actually gonna describe it.

She was inside a rather average room, all things considered. The room was fairly big, able to fit atleast 100 ponies if she stacked them like blocks. Inside the room was also fairly average. There was a desk about four hooves (feet) away from where she currently stood. Beside the desk there was a banged up tent, the exact tent Trixie tore a hole through.

The last item in the room was a small bed, not made for ponies, but rather made for pets. Snoozing on top of the bed was a small ursa cub, it's paw twitching every now and then.

•Don't leave me delicious and delectable steak...• Starlight imagined what the cub was dreaming about.

Starlight sighed as she neared the desk. She lifted the chair behind the desk using her magic, groaning internally as she did. She was rather annoyed, all things considered.

Annoyed at the mayor of thrusting this responsibility onto her in a matter of 3 days, annoyed at the reporters and annoyed at the paperwork. Especially the paperwork.

Before she could sit down on her cushy chair, she was blinded by a sudden flash of light infront of her. She stumbled back, yelping in surprise at the sudden light, much like a discord mod reacting to sunlight for the first time in decades.

Not funny? Okay I'll stop.

She took on a fighting stance. And what I mean by a fighting stance, she just arched her back like a cat. The fighting stance seized as she saw the bright, transparent screen infront of her.

'It's the same screen as yesterday...' Starlight thought.

She circled the blank screen like a predator, seemingly looking for a crack in the holographic illusion. A sudden ping! grabbed her attention as the previously blank screen spelled out a message right infront of her.

New Quest!

[This quest cannot be declined.]

Starlight silently mused over the screen. After a minute or ten, she sighed a deep sigh.

Then she screamed.

Somewhere in the jungle

"Celestia dammit! I should've known this was a bad idea," The arylide yellow coated mare muttered to herself. "I mean, really DD? I now you're special talent is adventure but you're just a filly at this point!"

The mare trotted through the dark corners of the Equestrian jungle, vines dangling off the branches of nearby trees. This jungle wasn't the Everfree, but it was a close second.

"But noooooo! 'I want to explore my talent more!'" She whispered to herself. She then tenses up as she remembers something somewhat crucial.

"I don't even have food! BUCK!" She shouted. "I just need to get to civilization, and I could probably go from there."

"Just need a clue to where to go....."

"AAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"

"... That's divine intervention if I ever saw one. Well, heard." The mare said, now trotting towards the direction of the loud scream.

Back to our neighborhood grump

Starlight gasped for air as she stopped her roar of annoyance. Her face was pretty much purple at this point.

Purpler

She slowly regained her composure, her eyes darting towards the glowing screen once again. The screen now had a new message, one that would've caused Starlight to scream again if she had any more stamina left.

Time starts now :D

"The buck you mean 'time starts now?'" Starlight asks, but gets no answer.

"Great... What now?" Starlight looks around the room for something to do. "Where the hell is the magical hat anyways?"

As she said this, her eyes were suddenly covered by cloth. Feeling her anger grow ever so slightly more, she makes the cloth float infront of her. Low and behold, it's the fucking hat. Twili- I mean, Starlight took a deep breath in and held it, then let it out.

"Well... Now what?" Starlight asked herself. Before she could think about a solution, a sudden knock forced her to put thinking on hold.

"Ms. Starlight? Somepony wants to meet you!" Called from behind the door.

"Tell them to politely wait for a second!" Starlight shouted, putting the hat inside of the desk. It had a compartment at the bottom and it costed 50 bits, so...

Starlight opened the door and sighed, today was going to be a long day she said to herself. When did it go wrong?

*Thunk!*
"Groewl?- GRWOL!" •The fuck was tha- THE DESK FELL APART!•

... Maybe when she bought that 50 bit desk.

[Bon Bon]

"Okay... Here it is," Bon bon whispered to herself. "Gravel mane. Estimated population: 500."

"... How the hell am I gonna find the target in this town?" She asked no one particular.

"Well, maybe ya could talk to ye olden Stallion over at the town hall?" A voice behind her suggested. She turned around to see an orange coated stallion wearing a cowboy hat. His brown mane wrapped in a ponytail. "Ya seem to be new and all, my name's Old Squashbuckler! I work over yonder anyways, could gladly show ya the path."

Bon bon noted that his accent seemed to be fake, but ignored it. "I would appreciate it Mr. Squash," She held her hoof out for a hoofshake which Squashbuckler gladly accept. "My name's Bon Bon, I'm a tourist but I'm interested in living here."

"Oh! Another settler? I haven't seen another pony consider this old heep of squash a home since the last great storm." Squashbuckler spoke, forgetting his accent for a second.

Bon bon also noted that there was no such thing as 'the last great storm'. She also noted that he's 16 years of age.

"Well, lead the way." She said.

As they walked, Squash introduced the shops and buildings along the way including a bar that had it's ceiling blown to bits. The manager of the seemed to be cleaning the bar up bit by bit with the help of ten strangers. When Bon Bon asked about this, Squash's only reply was:

"Oh? That's ye olden bar. It's been standing since Mah and pah first arrived here, it has this darn- I mean, damn cracker that runs it. His name's Bar Fight, a word of advice, ya better stay away from there."

Bon bon quietly nodded as she was told about this. She saw a few vendors here and there, but the most interesting was the apple vendors. When Squash saw them, he seemed to grow smaller and walked faster. A little later Bon bon saw why.

"Oh! Applebuck! There you are!" The mare stationed at the apple shop shouted at Squash, now Applebuck. "I was worried about you young colt! Where have you been?"

"Mah! I-Im trying to get this filly a tour of the town. Also Ah told you to not call me Applebuck anymore!" Applebuck shouted with embarrassment.

"And you want me call you Squashbuckler? I know you want to be a pirate dear but changing your name seems a little bit extreme..." The mare commented.

"Fi-fine! Yah can call be Applebuck. Being a pirate sucks anyway..."

"Oh no dear! You can be a pirate if you want, you know I'll support you either way." The mare said, which made Applebuck tear up.

"Th-thanks mah." Applebuck hugged his mom and cried, completely forgetting Bon bon. Bon bon just sat there. She's a trained professional.

After a few minutes of tearful hugging, Applebuck finally walked back towards Bon bon. "Well, wanna finish up this here tour?"

"Sure..."

The rest of the tour was rather uneventful compared to the first 20 minutes. She was shown shops, more shops, even more shops, a cobalt mine, shops, the residential area... Shops. After the 50th shop, Bon bon was finally introduced to the mayor's office. Or town hall if you're going to be that type of guy.

"And this here the town hall!" Applebuck announced to Bon bon. "Or the Mayor's office if you're that type o' gall."

"Oh! And before ah forget, the mayor's out o' town."

"And why is he out of town?" Bon bon asked.

"Ah think its cuz his friend got injured or sumthin." Applebuck answered her question.

"... And who's in charge?" Bon bon hesitantly asked.

"Well, it would be the newly appointed vice mayor! Ms. Starlight Glimmer." Applebuck happily stated.

"So can I meet her?"

"Sure! Follow me."

Bon followed Applebuck inside the town hall. As she walked she noted reporters from Equestria Daily asking ponies something she, admittedly, did not care about.

Only gotta meet the vice mayor, maybe interrogate her, and hang around here for a while. She thought to herself. Her thoughts were put on hold when Applebuck suddenly gestured a filly to come over to them.

"Oh! Cous!" The filly exclaimed. "What're you doing here?"

"Ah was showing this filly 'ere round town, after that she asked to see the vice. Can yah get her for me?" Applebuck explained.

"Ah did it once, ah can do it again! Ah won't let yah down!" The filly rushed off to somewhere, presumably to get the vice.

"Excited little filly huh." Bon bon said.

"Eeyup," Applebuck replied. Somewhere in Equestria a red colt suddenly sneezed. "She's my cuz. Her name's Fruitseed. Ah swear, she has the energy of a pegasus even though she's an earth pony."

"Heh, I can see that."

[Starlight Glimmer]

[1st person]

Just ignore it... Just ignore it... Just ignore it. she repeated that phrase in my head one too many times, but you really can't blame me can you? I mean, first day you enter the office and the mayor is already gone. Anypony would go insane at that, me included.

Now, you may be asking, "what are you ignoring?". Well take a bucking guess.

"Ms. Starlight! You still haven't answered-" The mare- no. The absolutely useless fly continued to buzz, until I suddenly grabbed her and being muzzle to muzzle with the horse.

"Would. You. PLEASE. Shut. The. Buck. Up!?" That was the final sentence I said before throwing her out of a nearby window, hopefully in a pile of manure.

"Wow! Ms. Starlight, yer so strong!" A filly said from beside her. Fruitseed, if she remembers correctly.

"And apparently very imposing." A new voice said from the side of me. "Hello Ms. Starlight, I'm Bon Bon."

"Not a reporter I assume?" I said tiredly. I could tell she wasn't a reporter, since she wasn't bombarded me with annoying questions.

"You would be correct. I- uh, wanted to see if there was any homes that I could move into?" Bon Bon said with a stutter.

'That was so obviously a fake stutter. She seems trained.' If you've been wanted for half a decade, you'd learn a thing or five.

"I'll see if there's any vacant homes available, for now would you like to come to the office and discuss anything else?" I said with a slightly exaggerated tone. 'What is your purpose here Bon Bon?'

"Of course! I'd love to!" She exclaimed, following me as I walked towards my office.

"As you can see around you, there's multiple rooms leading up to my office and the mayor's. Just ignore them." I said, not bothering to look at Bon Bon.

"Why's that?" She asked, curiosity evident.

"Most of them's empty. Apparently not enough qualified ponies and shii-stuff." Bon Bon had a slight shine to her eyes when I almost cursed. What could she have noticed? My brain isn't qualified for this...

"Annnd we're here." I announced, making Bon Bon jump slightly. "Come in, we don't have all day." She seemed to agree with me, since she followed after me quick.

"Uhhh, what 'bout us?" Applebuck asked. Recently learned his name through his mom. Squashbuckler wasn't a convincing name anyway.

"You can go now if you want." I said, before closing the door. "Oh, and thank you for touring the new pony."

"Ah- uh... Yur welcom'?-"

*SLAM*

"Now. Let's just get straight on the point, shall we?" I asked my guest. She stared at my eyes, as if questioning my existence.

"I guess we shall..." She replied, taking a seat and watching me. I guess we'll have to do this the old and wanted ways.

TO BE CONTINUED... ANYDAY NOW.
