Star Stuck
Badump… badump… badump… the track on the railroad seemed to match the beat of Star Struck’s music. Badump… badump… baBONK!
“Hey bro were getting close to town” said C.J. shaking Star with his unicorn magic
Struck nodded and re-adjusted himself stretching out his arms and wings. He sat up more in the seat bringing the small town of Ponyville into view, it’s bustling inhabitants slowly coming into focus
Excitement now slowly began to build up in Star Struck’s gut; this would be his first major drama troop since finishing school. Audition after audition now he was finally getting somewhere with his acting career, and Ponyville was his beginning.
“Staaaarr Struck?”
He could already see his life now… mares everywhere would soon have his pictures on their walls…
“Hey… Starrr Struck!?”
… Knowing all the famous ponies…
“Star Struck wake the BUCK up!!”
C.J’s last comment finally popped his day dream bubble “huh… what? Oh what’s up C.J?”
“Haha were here dreamer get your stuff” Jokingly shoving Star out of the train cart.
The station bustled with ponies greeting family and friends as they shuffled their way past the crowds and into the streets, but C.J. and Star Struck wouldn’t be getting any warm hugs they were here on their own, it wouldn’t matter any how they both would be too busy and would be barely home.
“Well how do you think sunflower is going to handle the first week without her, haha what was it?” and in his cheesiest girly voice “Her shmoopy doo?”
“Ha Ha you’re so funny Star Struck, at least I have a marefriend”
The comment didn’t offend him, Star Struck and C.J. and been best friends since elementary, he understood it was all a joke but C.J. was right Star Struck hadn’t been in a relationship for over 2 years, being torn between his love and his dream he couldn’t just satisfy her needs and keep up with the constant auditions he needed to get his name out.
“Well ‘Shmoopy doo’ where we off too?”
“It looks like our apartment is next too… sugar cube corner?”
“Where the…”
CRASH!!!!!
A blinding streak of bright pink suddenly slammed into Star Struck bringing him to ground. with the same effect of a flash bang his ears where ringing and his vision blurred, but his sensory organs were getting back to normal he could hear fragments of speed up English.
“Ohhh my gosh did I hear sompony say sugar cube corner… did I mention I work at Sugar cube corner it’s like only the… well my names Pinkie Pie what’s yours?!”
The only thought now in Star Struck’s mind after that barrage of words was, this is how I die… but then he heard a second voice, this time with more structure.
“Wooah their sugar cube let this poor fella breath”
“Oh hey Applejack what you doin? I was just introducing myself to… umm… I actually don’t know, HEY WHAT’S YOUR NAME?!”
The pink pony was now finally being removed from the top of him, C.J. came and helped him back to his feet, now that Star Struck’s mind wasn’t being verbally assaulted he could finally notice everypony around him. The frightening pink pony was tied up in a hog tie atop another creamy orange mare in a cowboy hat, next her was a light lavender pony with her face nuzzled into a book, the orange one trotted over.
“I’m a might sorry, Pinkie here was just a ‘bit’ excited to be headin down to the lake” she said with an apologetic look on her face.
“Oh it’s fine, no harm done” said Star Struck looking about his now scattered belongings; CJ had already gone about to picking some of it up.
With a hint of embarrassment on her face she too realized the mess that had been created.
“Ughh, here let me help ya with these… oh and pardon ma manners, the names Applejack” she said and set the restrained pony on the ground and began to help pick up his belongings.
“Well thank you Applejack, I’m Star Struck and this is my friend CJ.”
The three of them shooke hooves and went about to gathering his materials, however Star Stuck couldn’t help notice the lavender pony didn’t seem remotely phased by any of the commotion going on around her. He couldn’t help his curiosity but to see what book she was reading; squinting to get a better look he couldn’t keep his thoughts silent.
“Everything about beach parties Volume 2”
He didn’t mean to say it as loud as he did, but the lavender pony apparently caught wind of his thoughts and looked up from her book to see what was happening.
“Oh what’s going on?”
“Oh hey twilight we were just meeting new friends… HUUUUUUUUUGGGGHHH these are new ponies in PONYVILLE and…”
“Thank you Pinkie! Umm hello there I’m Twilight Sparkle.”
Star Stuck was taken aback, the purple pony was… well… a lot cuter then he initially thought she would look, he just couldn’t pull away from her and it didn’t help how the sun hit her just right to make those light purple eyes so vibrant. A sudden light breeze blew her mane into a wild mess and did he smell… cupcakes?
“HEY WHAT YOU LOOKIN AT!!???”
Star Struck had wings but he didn’t need them now to reach the height pinkie made him jump, with heart pounding, eye’s wide and wings flared Star Struck would be lying if he didn’t say he looked ridiculous, and the look from his friends face said it as well.
With a quizzical look from C.J. “You ok there buddy, you’re lookin a little rough.”
he looked at C.J. “umm yeah, definitely it’s all good” noticing his briefcase was now back together he made a hasty retreat, he called back at a thousand words a minute “well it was nice meeting you all, hope you enjoy your day see ya later BYYYEEE!”
He wasn’t sure where he was going he didn’t care the feelings surging in his face said everything, he started to feel the heat making it’s ways through his cheeks.
Star Struck didn’t notice how far he had gone until he felt the all too familiar magical force soon surrounding him, levitating him in the air with legs still flailing around
“Wooaaahhh there buddy, where do you think you’re going?”
C.J’s voice calmed Star Struck enough to finally stop running, as he was slowly let back down to earth.
“Well good job tiger, we just meet our first few neighbors and they already think you’re crazy” he said jokingly.
“Haha sorry bout that, I… I don’t really know what happened back” he lied, he knew exactly why he rushed off, one being embarrassed from the scare, and two… well he actually couldn’t pin point that feeling but he was pretty sure it was the purple mare… umm twi… twi something. Well this was definitely going to occupy his mind, but they had more important things to worry about, like how they forgot to ask for directions to find their new home.
