Promising Change

I am sitting by Bab Seed and Sweetie Belle. We’re talking about how we’re excited for the release of the new Sapphire Shores album. I finally managed to get Sweetie Belle into her music though she will always be a classical lover by heart. When we see a pony with a yellow coat, a dark red mane and tail, and pale-yellow eyes. I recognized her “Excuse me, would you mind if I sit here.” She asked politely. I could see her mane was cut short, the common style among fillies around the city. I could also see she was wearing a dark red scarf with gems on it. It looked like she made it. I was impressed.

“Did y'all make that scarf.” I asked.

She smiled “Yes, I did. I’ve always had a sense for fashion, my names Gleaming Gem.” She spoke.

“I’m Apple Bloom and this is my cousin Bab Seed, and my friend Sweetie Belle.” I spoke.

“Well, it’s nice to meet you. I heard your friend's voice at the last choir concert. She's pretty good,” The filly spoke, impressed.

“Oh, why thank you. I’ve always had a talent for music.” Sweetie Belle said with a smile.

“So where are you from.” Gleaming Gem asked.

“Ponyville.” I answered.

“Ponyville!” She said with delight. “I’ve always admired the country style with their simple yet beautiful patterns.” She said delighted.

“If you want, I can show you more about the culture.” I offered. I do love sharing culture.

“Oh, that’s very thoughtful of you.” She spoke.

“It’s nothing I like spreading culture. And by the way I love the style of Manehattean with its fancy clothes like black shiny coats and Gems on everything as well as the music. I love pop and a good rap.” I spoke.

“Well, if you want, I can show you my culture and you can teach me about yours.” She offered.

I smiled “Deal”. Perhaps I will make many friends here.
