Something Special
Making Friends
Previous ChapterI fluttered down from the baby blue sky. My magenta and purple colored mane swept in front of my face. I shyly landed. As soon as my hoof touched down a lavender unicorn stepped out of the crowd. "Hello!" She said kindly. "I'm Twilight Sparkle. What's your name?" I blushed, being a shy pony. "I'm BluBerry Muffin. But you can call me Blu," I whispered. Twilight giggled. "No wonder Derpy introduced you. Your name has Muffin in it!" Derpy smiled brightly. Her eyes more wall-eyed than before. "How about I show you around Ponyville?" The unicorn said. Derpy, clearly wasn't to pleased with this, "No, Twilight! I want to show her around!" Twilight looked sternly at Derpy, "You still have your mail duties to tend to!" She pointed at the mail bag around her neck. Derpy gave a look of disappointment. "You can show her all the available houses when your through!" Twilight reasoned. The yellow mane mare nodded enthusiastically. She shot off like a bullet, and then ran it to a cloud. I giggled. "So! Where should I begin?" Twilight said. "Could you show me your friends? I'd love to meet them," I suggested. Twilight nodded.
When turned onto a well used dirt path. "Let me show you where Applejack lives. She is the most honest pony you'll ever meet! For she is the Element of Honesty," The lavender unicorn said. I smiled. On our way here, Twilight told me about how she and her friends saved Equestria using the Elements of Harmony. We approached an apple orchard. "Welcome to Sweet Apple Acres!" Twilight said. I spotted a red stallion working in the fields. "Boy howdy! Twilight, did y'all go'n find y'all self a new friend?" said a tangerine mare. She wore a cowboy hat and her cutie mark was three red apples. Twilight nodded. "This is BluBerry Muffin," the unicorn said. "But you can call me Blu," I said. "What's your name?" The earth pony smiled. "Ah'm Applejack. You can call me AJ," she smiled. I smiled back, "Nice to meet you AJ," Applejack smiled a friendly smile. Twilight whispered something in AJ's ear. "Okay, Twi. Ah'll see y'all 'round!" AJ said and waved good-bye. I waved back. Twilight escorted me back into Ponyville.
We stood outside a sweet shop. "This is where you'll meet Pinkie Pie. She is the Element of Laughter. And that title suits her well!" Twi said. We walked in and a little bell above me rang. A bushy maned earth pony dashed to greet us. "Hi! I'm Pinkie Pie! Who are you?" she said. She talked so fast I couldn't keep up. "I'm BluBerry Muffin. But please, call me Blu," I said. My head was spinning from the question bomb the pink mare dropped. Twilight whispered to Pinkie, quite possibly the same thing she whispered to AJ. Pinkie gasped dramatically. She zipped off somewhere. "It's her natural reaction. You'll get used to it. Now, we still have Fluttershy, Rarity, and Rainbow Dash to meet!" Twilight said. We exited the sweet shop and trotted off to Fluttershy's house.
"Hello, Fluttershy!" Twilight said. We have arrived at a hospitable cottage. A yellow Pegasus was planting flowers in her front lawn. "Hello, Twilight," she said. Her voice was so soft I could barely hear her. "This is BluBerry Muffin. She's new here," I smiled shyly, I hid behind my mane. "You can call me Blu," I said. Fluttershy smiled. "I can tell that we'll make good friends, Blu," she said. A cute little bunny hopped out in front of her. "What a cute little bunny!" I said. I fluttered my speckled wings. "Thank you. His name is Angel," Fluttershy said. "Oh, I love your wings! They are so unique!" She said. I blushed, "Thanks. That's what my dad says," Twilight rolled her eyes. "Let's go, Blu. Next is Rarity's house," she said. She whispered in Fluttershy's ear and then we left.
My hooves got tired so I started to fly. We approached a house that looked like a carousel. "This is the Carousel Boutique. Rarity lives here. I flew in, and a bell jingled again. "Watch your head, dear," I white unicorn said. "Wow! What beautiful wings you have! So designer and blue! Out of curiosity, is your favorite color magenta?" she said. I nodded, "How did you know?" I asked. The unicorn pointed to my wrist. I pair of magenta bangles lay there. "Oh," I said. "I'm BluBerry Muffin, but I'd be charmed if you called me Blu," I said. Rarity curtsied. "I'm sure Twilight told you my name all ready," she said. She disappeared into a room. When she came back she held up a magenta dress with a pearl dazzled neckline. "This is for you darling! No charge, since your new," Rarity said, and handed it to me. I blushed, "Thank you! I love it," I threw it on. My wings slipped through the holes. "It's made just for a Pegasus like you!" She said. I blushed a thank you. Twilight whispered the same thing again, and we departed.
"Twilight, why do you keep whispering?" I asked. She looked up at me. "No reason. Can you pick me up?" she asked. I looked at her. "Umm... I can try," I grabbed her midsection and tried to lift her up. I groaned and she only got an inch off the ground. "I guess not. Well, looks like I have to do this the hard way." Twilight said. Suddenly, her horn glowed purple. There was a flash and a BOOM! I covered my eyes. Then the glowing disappeared. "What happened?" I asked. "I cast a spell that makes me walk on clouds. Now I'm going to teleport," She said. A humming noise filled the air. There was another flash and Twilight was gone! "Twilight! Where did you go?!"
"Up here!" she said. She was sitting on a cloud. I flew up to meet her. "Now we can meet Rainbow."
A cyan blue Pegasus landed on the cloud we where on. "Hi Twilight!" she said. "Whose the new pony?"
"I'm BluBerry Muffin. But you can call me Blu," I said. "You must be Rainbow Dash. Nice to meet you!" I said. The rainbow maned pony smiled. "And you too, Blu!" she laughed. "Did Rarity make that dress?" she pointed. I nodded. "It's pretty cool! Hey, sometime we need to get together and race," Rainbow said. She got low to the cloud. "Your on!" I said. Twilight whispered to Rainbow Dash. No surprise there. "Sounds like fun!" Rainbow said. Twilight shushed her. "Well good-bye, Rainbow! See you later!" I said, and took off. Twilight teleport to the ground. "Now, you go meet up with Derpy at the Sweet Shoppe. Then, swing by the library once you find a house. See you later!" Twilight said. "Bye!" I said, and flew to the Sweet Shoppe.
