New Pony in Town Part 1

The sun shined brightly in another beautiful day in Ponyville. Pinkie bounced about watching as Rainbow Dash flew though the sky. Sitting by a picnic blanket, soaking the warmth of the sun, lay Fluttershy, Rarity, Twilight and Applejack. The four of them smiled among each other and chattered away.

“What a lovely day to sit back and relax isn't it?” Rarity let out with a pleasant sigh, Striking a nod from the others, in agreement. Twilight’s horn glowed away as her face was buried in a book, Fluttershy just sitting back, enjoying the view of the flying birds and skittering rabbits and squirrels, Applejack bite into a fresh apple and smiled in obvious enjoyment. Rarity flipped though a magazine from Canterlot about the latest fashion stars rising when a particular article caught her eye.

“Hey, girls listen to this!” she spoke out, catching the other threes attention. “Rising star tailor missing from Canterlot, the latest clothing designer, Zeta, goes missing from Canterlot before a meeting with Photo Finish. Zeta was expected to be Finishes newest designer for her models but upon searching of the ponies residence had revealed he had recently seemed to have moved out! Photo Finish had this too say 'I, Photo Finish, will search all of Equestria for him! My newest star will not hide from me!' Zeta's line of clothing has grown in popularity recently, with focusing on affordable but still elegant and simple designs” Rarity read off from the magazine before looking up at the rest of them, shaking her head.

“Sounds like some publicity stunt too me! What kind of pony in their right mind, aside from you Fluttershy dear, would deny Photo finish!?” Rarity stated, giving a respective nod to Fluttershy. Fluttershy gave a gentle nod “I don't think it's like that, I-I'm sorry” she'd say softly before apologizing. Twilight laid her book down and looked up to Rarity shaking her head “We really don't know what's up with that, but let's not think on that, it's a beautiful day let's enjoy it!” she smiled turning to look over her shoulder towards where Pinkie pie was.

Pinkie pie had stopped chasing around the flying Rainbow Dash, and now stood, a grin along her face down the road. She inhaled deeply and gave a shout “New Pony!!!” causing a surprised jump from the others. Down the road a cart could be seen being pulled by a purple Pegasus, two young foals at his hooves.

A male unicorn foal hopped along the Pegasus' hooves, mint green and clearly younger then all three. His mane was a lavender purple, spiked up into a little mo-hawk. He still had yet to find his cutie mark, leaving his flank bare.

The second foal was a Pegasus as well. Her coat was a rosebud pink, littered with spots of dirt and small cut's and bruises. Her mane and tail was ironed into a wavy pattern and colored red, blue, green and pink. On her flank was a shooting comet.

The purple Pegasus pulling the cart filled with their belongings had a long straight mane, colored a dark blue. Upon his head was a black fedora hat. His flank had the cutie mark of a bow-tie. He gave a sigh as he pulled the cart along. He looked up about to give a soft smile as he saw the town of Ponyville come into view, before his view was suddenly blocked by a pink mare smiling brightly to him.

“Hi! Welcome to Ponyville, you're new right? Nice to meet you I'm Pinkie pie!” Pinkie invaded the Pegasus' vision and hearing as she introduced herself. The Pegasus gave a soft blush, pulling his head a bit back as he gently smiled too her “o..oh hi Pinkie, nice too meet you too” he said softly.

The mint green unicorn smiled up to Pinkie in excitement and proceeded to hop around her “Hi Pinkie! I'm Hopistillision! But must ponies call me Hopper!” The excited foal ran and bounced around her, giggling in joy.

“Oh, Hopper! Please stay calm fo-” The Pegasus would begin before getting interrupted by Pinkie. “Hi hopsy! Welcome to Ponyville!” her head would turn to follow him, before she herself began hopping about them, leaving the purple and pink Pegasus too look at each other in confusion.

By this time the other five ponies had caught up with the cart. “Pinkie Do you have to greet every pony that moves to town?” Twilight asked, tilting her head to the pink mare as she approached. “Why of course, Twilight! How else would I be able to be friends with every pony!?” Pinkie asked as she looked to the two Pegasus “So what's your names?” she asked smiling wide.

The younger pink foal responded first “I'm Comet” she looks up to the adult Pegasus who fluttered his wings “And this is our uncle Noa” The purple Pegasus smiled to Comet and nodded with a bright blush “Nice too meet you, didn't think we would meet the Elements of Harmony so soon!” Said Uncle Noa, a soft smile across his face to the six mares before him.

Rarity, Rainbow Dash and Applejack couldn't hide a slight hint of suspicion when they hear Noa's announcement of knowing who they were. Twilight was the first to break the moments silence, “How did you know who we are?” looking at him curiously. Noa Scratched his head and only blushed brighter “oh, um well I read 'bout you all in the papers, you guys only saved Equestria, what? Three times now?” he chuckled softly and continued “Just because other ponies in Canterlot are too stuck up sometimes to notice when heroes are in their midst, doesn't mean we don't recognize it” he nodded and scratched his hoof along the back of his head, slightly nervously.

They gave a faint nod, Pinkie pie continued smiling brightly “oh! You are from Canterlot, that must be nice getting out of the city to come here! Where are you all staying?” she'd ask getting back in Noa's face and he'd smile “oh the cottage on the hill, in town” he'd say and begin to pull the cart along again. “I apologize for having to leave, but we must get settled in before it gets too late!” he say's looking back at the foals “come on Hopper and Comet! Let's get going” And with a noticed rush he began pulling the cart along the road towards town.

They still looked among each other with a faint hint of suspicion as the group trotted away. “We need to throw him a “Welcome to Ponyville party!” Pinkie would say to the others as Noa, Comet, and Hopper trotted down the road toward their new home, and live within Ponyville.....

Chapter 1 New Pony in Town Part 2

The house was a lovely 2 story residence. It boasted 1 Master bedroom and 3 spare bedrooms, 2 full baths, a fully equipped kitchen, a study that easily fit all of Uncle Noa's equipment for his work,and even a small deck that gave a beautiful view over Ponyville, their new home, While Noa was often more fond of smaller, simpler living, he couldn't help but enjoy the new house, as he closes the door to his work room, finished packing and still with plenty of hours left in the day.

The home, to possible quite a few in Ponyville, would have been something to desire, but out of many ponies price range. Now the purple Pegasus and his two nieces finished filling their new home with all that they needed. With just the three of them living there it provided for even an extra bedroom to be used as a playroom for the two fillies, who could now be heard rummaging about inside said room, as they search for their toys too, more then likely, litter the room with. Noa called up the stairs to them "Hey kids! Let's get going, we want to make it to the marketplace to pick up dinner before dark now!" he said with a small smile on his face.

Suddenly, their hooves could be heard as they ran down the hall towards the stairs. Hopper was leading, as the mint green unicorn wobbled and half tumbled down the stairs. His sister, Comet, took the more careful route as she spread her wings and fluttered her way down, landing in front of her uncle, both smiling as they awaited to follow their uncle out,

"You two must be hungry then?" Noa said with a chuckle. He was responded too with nods. Hopper held out his tongue, and held his hoof up in a begging fashion in a joking fashion. Noa would chuckle again and begin towards the door "well come on! let's explore the town a bit!" With that the two fillies ran out the door, their uncle trotting behind as they made their way to the center of town.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Several Hours Later ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hopper lay on his uncles back, propped up between two saddle bags filled with groceries as the three made their way back to the house. Hopper's eyes remained closed as the tuckered out unicorn slept contently on Noa's back. Comet trotted close behind her uncle, carrying her own two bags, her gaze darted about slightly nervously; the sun had gone down and now she had grown a tad frightful, but she would never admit it, but her worried state would be noticed as she picked up her pace as she got closer to the house.

Noa smiled to her as he began opening the door "Don't worry Comet we're home now." he said reassuring. However, suddenly he would be jumping back in shock as the lights flew on before he could turn them on, and about 20 to 30 ponies jumped out from behind furniture, throwing confetti and streamers as they all shouted in unison "Surprise!!" Comet jumped with her uncle and darted behind him, as Hopper yawned and slowly raised his head as he awakened.

Pinkie Pie then darted up to the three shocked ponies, returning her face close to Noa's again. He managed to muster a weak smile as he face tinted red slightly "o...oh hey again Pinkie!" he would nervously stutter.

"Hey again! We threw this party for you, I hope you like it, It's just a little 'Welcome to Ponyville Party' since we saw you coming to town today and it only seemed like it was you three so we thought 'hey let's throw a party!...." Pinkie Pie begun going on a speech leaving Noa no space to speak up and so he simply nodded as he began carrying his groceries to the kitchen. the party around him begun as ponies began socializing and dancing and just enjoying themselves. Noa had not thought or planned to be holding any parties in his home, and was quite curious as to how they all got in. But, he was still grateful for the gesture and smiled as he set the bags down and turned to Pinkie who still went on.

"...so we got lots of streamers and cake, pie, cookies, hot sauce, we even got pin the ta-" Pinkie was finally interrupted as Noa built up the heart to speak "Thank you Pinkie, I am grateful that you guys did this" he'd say with a gentle smile. Pinkie smiled wide to him and nodded "oh its no problem, I just love throwing parties!"

The party went on for a few hours, Hopper often joining in with Pinkies antics or trying to do magic with Twilight. Comet hung, noticeably star struck around Rainbow Dash, blushing each time the cyan pony gave her the slightest attention. Noa, however, found himself often sitting off to the side, sipping on punch and just taking in the scene. Often his gaze would dash over to the butter yellow mare he knew as Flutter shy, who was also staying in the sidelines of the party. He would give a small blush as he smiled her way.

Noa's gaze was suddenly turned to his front door however as a loud knock suddenly run out, "who would be joining the party at this hour?" Pinkie asked as she trotted up to the door and opened it to the visitor......

Lil rushed on this due to being late at night, so not 100% happy with how this part came out, especially since it's majorly just a huge transition scene for the entire part, but after this hopefully things will be getting more interesting :) Hope you all enjoy! :twilightsmile:

Chapter 1 New Pony in Town Part 3

As the door begun to upon, Pinkie was suddenly thrown back as two ponies came though the door. They were dressed in elaborate, bright clothing, and wearing makeup. It was very clear the two ponies spent a lot of time on their looks and clothing, always wanting a good appearance. The held their heads high as they stood on each side of the door; that is when the third pony came in. The light blue mare entered the home, her dress just as carefully down like the other two ponies escorting her, and her white mane trimmed and delicately laid out too where the bangs just end evenly above her trademark, unmistakable glasses. "I, Photo Finish, Have arrived!" The mare announced to the crowd that had now turned their attention to the entrance.

Fluttershy, along with Noa, proceeded to nervously move behind the couch, hiding themselves from the entourage. Fluttershy looked to Noa, raising a brow confused "w...why are you hiding?" she'd said just barely over a whisper as she moved her hair in front of her face, as if trying to hide from Noa behind her bangs as well. Noa gulped as his face turned a light red, he turned his head toward the door and opened his mouth to speak but was interrupted by another announcement by Photo.

"Where is the designer, Zeta!?" She'd shout too the crowd prompting them too look about in the crowd, many with excited glances as the recognized the name. Whispers spread through the crowd "Zeta's here?" "Zeta and Photo Finish? Here!?" excitement begun spreading through the crowd. Pinkie finally spoke up from where she was pushed back towards "There's no Zeta here, silly willy filly! I know everypony in ponyville and there's no Zeta, only Noa and his two foals!" Pinkie bounced and trotted around Photo Finish who gave an annoyed shake of her head.

"I know he is here! and I, Photo Finish! Will find him!" boldly the mare declared as she begun to step closer into the room. Many in the crowd turned and twisted their head's looking trying to get better views at the celebrity mare in their presence. Noa turned back to Fluttershy who continued to look confused at him from behind her mane. He gave a faint sigh and shook his head in annoyance before flapping his wings and going over the couch. He looked over at Photo Finish who, upon seeing him, excited smiled. However, before she had a chance too speak he would begin "Get out of here Finish! I told you I don't want to work for you!" he voice was marked with anger and more annoyance, yet he kept from yelling.

"Zeta Noa! Come back to Canterlot! You have so much opportunity there, not here in Ponyville!" Photo Finish said, trotting up to the purple Pegasus.

Zeta shook his head "I said no, I mean no, please leave my home." Zeta was turning when suddenly, another voice came from the crowd. "What did I say girls?" Rarity said, looking for her friends in the crowd "A publicity stunt! Come to Ponyville, make a big scene, then throw the new clothing line out after they get a whole town to notice them all in one night!" She would huff and turn her head elegantly "well we're not going to let you trick us like that Zeta!" Again, murmurs went through the crowd, some with anger, while others with disbelief.

Rarity began trotting out towards the door, her head held high and the ponies in the party followed suit, leaving either because they believed Raritys word or just not wanting to be apart of the scene, they all filed out till only Zeta, Fluttershy, Photo Finish, Twilight, and the DJ was the only ones still in the home. Zeta turned to the few around him, he noticed that the white coated pony who wore a spiky blue hairdo who had been DJing was only there still to pack up her things, the party was certainly over.

Zeta sighed again and shook his head "I want you out Photo, I'm not doing it so go home!" he went back to trotting towards the stairs. Photo Finished hid her anger well as she looked at the retreating stallion "I will have you line of work! It is too wonderful to pass up!" she would then notice the yellow mare who had been trying to slowly slip her way out of the home, alongside her friend. "Flootershy! Oh, I bet you modeling in Zeta's outfits would be just the perfect magics!"

Fluttershy gave a scared eep as suddenly Photo Finishes eyes were back upon the shy ex model......

As Always, To be Continued......

Chapter 1 New Pony in Town Part 4

Twilight placed herself between Fluttershy and Photo Finish. "I don't think Fluttershy wants to be a model again" she looked over her shoulder to the butter,yellow mare who was her friend. Fluttershy was lowering her head and hiding behind Twilight, peaking though her hair too her friend. Twilight then turned back to Photo Finish "It's late and the parties over, let's just go home" she suggested with a small smile. She hoped that the situation would defuse without any issue, but was worried that Photo would not cease so easily.

When Photo Finish let out a small yawn however, Twilights worries lifted. "Yes, it is late, and I had traveled long to get here. There is plenty of time to get models and the Zeta designs tomorrow." Photo Finish declared raising her head high, looking at the two mares before her though her glasses "I go!" she let out as her and her entourage turned and head out of the home.

Fluttershy let out a sigh of relief and smiled too Twilight "Thank you, I hope that was not much trouble for you" she softly said as the two mares begun exiting the home as well now, leaving Zeta and the two young foals with just t he DJ now.

Hopper and Comet both had fallen asleep on the couch during the nights antics and continued snoozing away. Zeta carefully picked each of them up and tossed them onto his back. He looked over too see the DJ smiling and holding the cases for her equipment and looking at him though her own glasses "I'm almost done here, no worries I'll be outta your mane soon" she said with a wink.

Zeta smiled and gave her a nod and carried the sleeping children up too their rooms, tucking them in and letting them get to sleep. With a yawn from himself, Zeta trotted back down the stairs into the living room. The DJ finally finished packing up her equipment and nodded too him on his way down "Just finished packing up! Was a blast, if ya ever want a party again call me!" she said with a smile as she lifted her boxes and cases toward the door with her magic.

With the DJ done, zeta gave a yawn and nod "Will do!" he said as he approached the door too see her out "was fun having you here miss" he said politely holding the door for her. The white mare moved some of her mane from her eyes, away from her glasses and smiles "Have a good rest Zeta, I'm gonna go see if I can find another party too hit up" she said with a giggle, stepping out of the home.

As the door was about to close, she turned back too the house and before zeta turned too end his night, she spoke "oh! and welcome to Ponyville....
