Everypony has that one adventure that changes their life forever. For Joy that adventure is moving to Ponyville. What will happen as she moves into the crazy adventure filled world that is Ponyville

Note this story is on hiatus. Most likely I will continue this, but it may not be in the same form. I'll just have to see what my options are. If you want to know more about why I put it on hiatus, read the auther's note in chapter 6. Thank you.

This is the story of Joyful Song. After her life in Clousdale turned upside down, she moved to Ponyville for a new start. She expected Ponyville to just be another small town, but fate has a habit of turning our expectations upside down. What will happen as this Filly, barely out of college, moves into the crazy world of Ponyville? Will she learn the magic of friendship, will she fight an angry monster, will she save ponykind from the humans.....well okay maybe not that crazy. But fate does have a lot in store for her at her new home in Ponyville.

(This story is based on the game Welcome to Ponyville by Filly Gamez.)

September 20 2012

Alright so my friends have been saying I should start a diary for a while. I've never really thought of it as that great of an idea, but after them telling about how fun it was to go back, and remember all the good (and bad) times you had and what you thought of them. I thought I would give it a try, and what better time to start then when I am moving.

I actually was moving today, and am currently on the train to Ponyville. That's the new place I'm moving to. Anyways my name is Joyful song or Joy for short, and I am a Pegasus, and ….actually I'm the ONLY one who's is gonna read this why the hay am I introducing myself!

Well anyways I woke up today and ate my breakfast just like normal. I poked my head out the window looking at the beautiful city that was Cloudsdale, the weather was scheduled to be just beautiful today! Knowing that alone brightened up my spirits, I always loved a warm perfect day. Well I didn't have much time to dawdle, It was a long way to Ponyville. I quickly slung my saddle bags (that were already packed and ready to go) onto my back and flew down to the lower clouds. After saying goodbye to the couple of friends that I had, I flew down to the train station and waited for the train.

I looked through my saddle bags at what I had,it wasn't much. Only about 2000 bits,my diary, a quail, some ink, some spare paper for writing or drawing, and a fuzzy cozy warm little blanket were in there. Most of my stuff....or well actually all of it I had to sell to have enough money to even buy a new home, and after selling everything I still only have 2000 bits. I really hope that's enough. I just never had a very big home or much stuff to sell, so I didn't get much money. But I don't regret anything. Cloudsdale is nice and all, but I just.......I just need to get away from it all, and Ponyville sounded like a nice place to get a new start!

Well anyways, after about an hour of waiting for the train (seriously when do these trains ever arrive on time!) It finally came. I got on it and looked back at the town I was leaving, then forward at what I was heading towards, Ponyville. Even through I couldn't see it I just had a good feeling of what was to come.

There really wasn't much to do on the train, but that was fine. I always enjoyed my solitude, just sitting up in a cloud daydreaming, singing, drawing, writing. Whatever came to my mind really, and whatever I felt like doing. Not to say that I don't like hanging out with my friends, but I well I've never really had many friends. I just can't ever bring myself to say hi to somepony new unless they’ve said it first. Although I guess that really doesn't change anything. Even if I did have tons of friends, I'd still want to spend at least an hour or two by myself each day. Although if my day is really busy I can always just enjoy some time to myself when I'm at work, well that is if the job's doesn't require much thinking. Like dealing with the weather, I've always enjoyed daydreaming a little while I did that.

Well anyways, that was pretty much my day, I just sat there and daydreamed, drew a little, sang some songs and daydreamed some more. Now I sit here at 9:17 PM, wrapped up in my fuzzy cozy warm little blanket writing this. Its getting late and I don't have anything else to say, so I'll just say goodbye. I have a BIG day tomorrow, and I'm gonna need the sleep.

goodbye

September 21 2012

Well today was the day, the day I arrived in my new home in Ponyville. My day was okay I guess, definitely didn't start out well through. My day started with me having another one of my nightmares. I don't remember what happened, but I probably don't want to. The question is why? Why have I been getting these nightmares? I’ve went my entire life without a single nightmare and now all of a sudden I'm getting them quite frequently. It's really been bothering me to say the least, and I just don't understand whats causing them.

Well anyways its probably best to not dwell on the past. After I woke up from my nightmare we were just arriving in Ponyville. Looking out the window it looked like a pretty nice town, if not a bit small. After adjusting to the brightness I began to head towards town hall. (And my friends wonder why I hate trains. Seriously who would like them, they're always late, they're super dark,and they have nothing to do for fun, if it weren't such a long trip I would’ve just flown here)

I looked around as I walked Ponyville really did look like a nice place to live, and the weather was just perfect today too. I defiantly didn't and still don't regret my decision to move here. I soon got caught up in my own daydreaming world as I walked along. I tried to get my mind off how little money I had, how I was going to find a job, how I was going to meet new friends, and all the other little things that troubled me. However my mind kept wandering back to those little things. My stomach then growled, I stopped for a moment. How in the world was I gonna have enough money for food, I mentally yelled. I felt so stupid for trying to move when I knew my little bitty house wouldn't get me much money. Suddenly a loud shout shot me out of my daydreaming land, and back into reality. I shot back onto my hind legs, almost taking to the air, before noticing the little filly in front of me. I mentally scolded myself for getting so caught up in my thinking that I didn't notice her. She said her name was Applebloom and asked me if I wanted to buy some apples. I kinda felt bad saying no to that sweet little face. But with as little money as I had, I didn't really have any other choice. She didn't seem to mind though. I was about to leave when a cute mare named Applejack walked up to me. She guessed that I was new ( I didn't think it was that obvious), and when I told her that I was, she gave me free apples! Said it was a welcoming gift.

A little bit of my doubt was erased. Seriously how could you think it was a bad idea to move somewhere when a perfect stranger gives you free food? Well anyways with my spirits brightened a little and some yummy food to feed my growling tummy I continued on. However It didn't take long till a light pink mare ran into me. It really startled me, not because I was scared..... well okay partly because of that, but mostly because I almost choked on my apple. Now I expected her to apologize for ramming into me.( I even apologized first, when, now thinking back on it, I probably didn't need to) Instead though she started talking at a mile per minute. I think she said her name was Pinkie and something about me being new and how excited she was to meet somepony new. I'm not sure I remember all of what she said, but I remember some.( although for as fast as she was talking it was hard to even understand her in the first place!) she then asked my name, but ran off before I could say it. I couldn't help but feel a little insulted, however I kept that to myself. She was a pretty cute mare after all.

Well after those two encounters I finally got to town hall. When I got there the receptionist was nice enough to mark the for sale houses on a map. There were 3 houses. One was by the river and looked quite calm and relaxing. The next was in the middle of town, it was even 2 stories. However I don't think I could of afforded a house that was 2 stories. Besides I didn't really want to live in the center of town, not much privacy. Then there was the last house, it was by the forest and had lots of pretty flowers around it. however it did have a warning symbol on the map about the forest. I never really got a chance to ask about that. Oh well maybe I'll get a chance tomorrow.

After looking at the house, I went back to town hall, I had decided that I wanted the forest house. After all who wouldn’t want a house surrounded by pretty flowers. I expected to not be able to afford it, but instead I got it for ONLY 1700 BITS!!!! That is seriously cheap for a house, granted I kinda got lucky since the normal price was 2100 bits. The only reason I got it for 1700 was because there housing market has been in decline. But still I ain't gonna complain. After that I headed back home. Then when I got there I realized I didn't get a bed. It was too late however to get one, so tonight I guess I'll be sleeping on my saddle bags.

Well anyways that was my day, quite an interesting day to say the least. Maybe this wasn't a bad decision.... at this point though I just don't really know. Well I’m getting really tired so I guess I’ll just finish this up, here's hoping I won't have another nightmare.
Goodbye

September 22 2012

Well today was a nice day, and no nightmare's either! Yay! Well I woke up today with my wings sore, although It wasn't as bad as it could have been. I at least had my fuzzy cozy warm little blanket to cushion my saddlebags.....Actually why didn't I just use that! Or even better I could of just slept on a cloud!

Gah I feel so stupid now, here I was sleeping on my saddle bags when I could of used a nice soft cushy cloud. Well I guess it's too late now, already bought my bed. Well anyways after stretching for a bit, I walked outside. Today was just as beautiful as the last, I just love it! Although it is kinda odd that the weather pegisi haven't begun bringing in fall. None the less I am enjoying the extended summer. I happily trotted into town, despite my worries. I looked around for a furniture store, then I saw what I think was called Carousel Boutique. Now I was looking for furniture so this normally wouldn't grab my attention. But this boutique said it sold furniture. I went inside, not really knowing what to expect( and seriously who would, I mean who's ever heard of a boutique selling furniture) Then, a mare named Rarity came up and asked me what I wanted, before I could answer through she decided to guess, her guess was an outfit to wear on a date with my special somepony. I mentally giggled trying my best not to giggle out loud. After asking I found out she was only selling furniture because of a shipping mix up. So after that I told her what I really wanted. I found a nice soft bed for only 300 bits. Now I thought I'd have to drag my bed all the way home, but instead she offered me free shipping! After that I walked out with my spirit brightened even more. It then hit me that I had just spent the last of my money. I let out a sigh, but overall I think I’m pretty happy. I may not have been able to get all the things I wanted to, but I did have enough money to not only buy a house but a bed too! And I didn't even think I could get a house with that much.

The Mayor said there was a job board at town hall so I headed there. I quickly began skipping with happiness. I just couldn't and still can't believe my luck! I knew at that moment that no matter what happened this was NOT a bad decision. How could it be, The ponies are just so nice in this town, and there stuff is cheap too! After getting there, there was only one job. It was a shipping job with Rarity, so I headed back there. She told me all I had to do was pull a wagon of dresses, however what she failed to tell me until later was that the dresses were studded with gems. Needless to say it was heavy, but I guess it wasn't too bad either. As we walked to the post office to deliver the dresses, we talked a little. Nothing that I really remember though, it was just small talk.

However one thing I do remember was how generous she was. Just talking to her you could see it. She was also such a drama queen! It was actually really funny now that I think about it. It didn't take long to get there, but I was still exhausted when we did. ( that's the one thing I hate about Pegisi. How incredibility weak and fragile we are,the flying still makes up for it though) once I caught my breath, I heard Apple bloom call me. She introduced me to her friends and said that they were part of some group, that crusades for cutie marks. It was just so cute. Except that orange one, what was her name again?......Scoo something. It was a cool name though. But anyways she was kinda obnoxious, Teased me about being girlfriends with Rarity. Still not sure I like her. Then there was the other one, I think it was Sweetie something... ah I know it was Sweetie Belle, and her name defiantly fit her. She was just soooooo cuuuute. Well anyways after telling the orange one, that I was just doing a job for rarity, Applebloom suggested they help me find jobs. The others then joined in and they left before I could say anything. Still not sure if they were even being serious.

After that me and Rarity headed back, and she then offered me first dibs on any work she needs done. So sweet. So I headed back to check if my bed had arrived. When I got there though it wasn't there. Before I could do anything else though the mailmare crashed into me! ( And she's the one that's delivering my mail.. yeah real reassuring) She said her name was Derpy, and we talked a little. She seemed pretty sweet. Then as soon as she put the pieces together, and figured out I was new, She IMMEDIATLY asked me to be her friend. I was a little shocked but, I couldn't refuse. She then said about how nice it was for her to meet a new friend because of her lack. I smiled at that, I knew that feeling all too well. She then asked if I wanted to get muffins later. That sounded nice, so I said yes. We talked a little more about how she managed to become a mailmare. She then left, but not before knocking over my mailbox. “sigh” I then went over and fixed my mail box. I didn't regret saying yes to being friends though. She was really sweet and so cute. Well the childish kinda cute that is....although she was kinda cute the other way too. Ya I guess you could call me a fillyfoaler by now. I've never actually had a fillyfriend, but I do know that it's easy to find cute mares, stallions, not so much. Well anyways, Derpy's just a friend and I really don't think I'd be ready for dating anyways. I definitely do look forward to spending more time with her though. She's so sweet. She reminds me of a little filly I used to know in Cloudsdale named Jubilee. But she.....she's gone now..................................................... Well anyways like I said before, it's best not to dwell on the past. So after fixing my mailbox I dragged my bed inside( That Derpy had dropped, luckily it didn't suffer any damage). Now here I am once again
wrapped up in my fuzzy cozy warm little blanket, laying on my bed writing this.

Overall I think today was a great day! I definitely can't wait for tomorrow to see what other
surprises Ponyville might bring!
Goodbye

Author's Note

Fun Fact. Jubilee is actually a friend of mine. She's in 4th grade, and is very sweet. So when I met Derpy in the game, the way they portrayed her reminded me of Jubilee. Since she reminded me of my friend and Jubilee fit very well as a pony name (they even have a pony named Jubilee in the show) I just had to use that. And of coarse I used it for a sad moment.

September 23 2012

Well today was a pretty great day, I'm really tired though so I don't think this will be very long entry but whatever I'm still gonna write, I'm quite enjoying making these.

Anyways I woke up to sound of knocking on my door. When I looked outside though it wasn't even light yet. I opened the door and found Applejack standing there. She wanted me to help out at her apple farm, said that Applebloom told her I was looking for work. I was really tired and annoyed from being woke up ,and I wasn't so sure of the idea, but with as little money as I had, I really couldn't refuse. But hey I at least got free breakfast. That was pretty awesome and the food tasted amazing! We then headed outside. Now this alone probably wouldn't be worth mentioning, but right outside was the funniest thing. The side of her barn had a sun and a picture of Pinkie's face on it, it just looked so out of place it was funny. I pointed it out in a half statement, half question sorta way. She then explained that Pinkie had painted it,and she wasn't happy with it. I silently wondered why she hadn't just put another coat of red over it, but I kept that to myself. I didn't want to make it sound like I was implying she was stupid.

After that she asked me to help her buck about half of the apple tree's in a small section section of the orchard. Or at least it was small compared to the rest of the orchard. The entirety of just that part looked like 200 or so apple tree's, luckily I only had to do half. But still 100 apple tree's is still A LOT of apple tree's to buck, especially when you hardly know what you're doing. I know applebucking doesn't seem that hard but it is. I probably looked like a total idiot bucking those tree's. I fell on my face. I missed the tree. I had to kick the tree a million times before the apple's fell off, only to have them fall on my head. I had the apple's miss the buckets and have to pick them all up by myself. It... it was just a horrible way to start the day. I am definitely never doing that again, I just don't understand how applejack does that every. single. day. There has got be some secret trick to it that she ain't showing me.

Well anyways after we were done working, she introduced me to her brother Big Macintosh. It was really awkward though, all he said was yup. I hope I don't run into him too much. After finishing the job I headed into town with 50 extra bits in my bag. When I got there it was already afternoon but it felt like bedtime. Well I guess I had been bucking...or at least attempting to buck apple tree's since like 4 in the morning. I slowly walked into town. Despite my tiredness I was anxious to find something fun to do. After all I hadn't had much of a chance to do that yet, with all the work of getting settled into a new town. I was so happy I would of trotted or something but I was tired and sore....and still am.

I walked and walked trying to think of something to do other then walk. Then some random pony slammed into me!( that's seriously starting to happen a lot... and it's getting annoying) she apologized but ran off as soon as she could! I think she said something about humans? I'm still not sure I heard that right, I wonder what she was talking about. I mean nopony ever talks about humans, their the evilest creatures on earth! Unless she's worried about them coming here, but that, that's just ridiculous. Or actually I guess it isn't. Humans have attacked us since the beginning of this land, only recently did they stop for some unknown reason. “gasp” What if their planning a huge surprise attack to capture us all!....... Well I'm probably just worrying over nothing, I mean the princesses got it covered.....right?

Well anyways after that another pony named Bon Bon came up to me and apologized for her friends behavior (at least I'm guessing that was her friend) she then offered me a piece of candy for free! she said she made it at her candy shop. It was one of my favorite kinds too, a chewy caramel type candy. Well she didn't actually get a chance to tell me the flavor but you could tell. I definitely will take her up on her offer of visiting her candy store sometime. Actually....i never asked her where exactly it was. Gah I'm so stupid, I really wanted to visit there. “sigh” I'm sad now.

Well anyways after that I went back to wondering what to do, then a Pegasus with a rainbow colored mane and tail,(I wish I had a mane like that, it looked so awesome!) told me that I should go see the air show of Rainbow dash.....before telling me that she was Rainbow dash. I really hate braggarts, but she did seem pretty cool, so I guess she still has a pretty good chance of being my friend. We then flew up to some clouds and she asked me if I had seen the Wonderbolts preform. I told her that I saw them at flight school a couple times. Her face then lit up, she said that I was in her class. Not sure if I was, but I’ll take her word for it. I don't really want to think about flight school. Too many bad memories.

She then took to the air and showed me her tricks. She had some pretty awesome tricks, but she wasn't actually that good. She was insanely fast, but seemed quite reckless. Her speed was still sooo impressive though. I only wish I could be that fast. Just when I was gonna congratulate her though, she crashed. Somehow I knew, that would happen. Luckily though She wasn't too badly hurt. She then begged me to not tell anypony. Of course I would never be that mean so I promised her I wouldn't. She then went back to bragging about how she was Ponyvilles's hero and she didn't want to crush anyone's vision of that. (Actually.... forget what I said earlier, her chances of being my friend are pretty slim.) Pinkie then showed up out of nowhere and said that she needed Rainbow's help with something. I stood there for a moment, trying to grasp what just happened. After a minute I was still baffled. (my brain was clearly on off today) I shock my head to try and clear my non-existent thoughts, and headed back home.

I slowly flew to my home taking it all in, it was just so beautiful at nighttime! I still love nighttime, it's my favorite time. Just flying through the brisk air, looking at the beautiful world below me. If I wasn't so tired I would've gone for a flight over the park or something. Now I'm sitting on my bed in my fuzzy cozy warm little blanket writing this.

Well overall it was quite an interesting day today. Not as fun as I had hoped, but I still did have a good day, well at least a good half a day. Hopefully tomorrow will go better, and I won't be so sore. Anyways I’m extremely tired and sore from applebucking, so I’m gonna go ahead and get to bed.
Goodbye

Sep. 26 2012

September 26 2012

Well the past few days have been fun if not a bit lonely. I actually was so adsorbed in my own little world that I kinda... sorta... forgot to write in my diary. But there wasn't really much to write about. I just did my normal activities of singing drawing, daydreaming, walking or flying around the park, nothing too exciting really. There wasn't even any work for the past three days, seriously for 3 whole days there wasn't any odd little jobs I could do! And none of the permanent jobs seemed very good. I almost took one for the time being, but before I did, I got a basket from my old friends at Cloudsdale. This particular one was from my old friend Rhinestone, she was always very pushy about getting the things she wanted, add to that the fact that she's the one who is always worrying, and you got either trouble,or help. thankfully In this case it was help. she said that her and all her other friends were worried about how little money I had, so after some thorough convincing ( yes I totally believe that the others were so worried.) she got my other friends to chip in, in getting me some food to last for a few days.

I couldn't believe my luck, just when I'm starting to doubt this town again I get free food. although I'm surprised I needed it. In this town it seems almost customary to give a gift to any newcomer....actually maybe it is. The way I’ve been getting free stuff it would seem like it. Anyways, it was so nice of her to gather this up for me. She also told me about how things were going on there. She finally ended with how much they all missed me. My heart felt so warm after reading that. To be honest I wasn't entirely sure if anyone except Rhine really thought of me as a true friend. Actually I guess I still don't, nopony else wrote me a letter. None the less though I do miss my friends. I still don't really have any yet, except for Derpy, but she's still more of an acquittance at this point. I really wish I had more friends, but it's just too hard to make them, it took forever to make the few friends I had in Cloudsdale. I just don't know how I’m gonna make some here, not that I haven't enjoyed the time by myself lately. But it just.....just feels empty, and lonely.

Well anyways, I'm supposed to be writing about today not the past. Well I can definitely say today was busy, ironic considering the 3 lazy days that came before it. I woke up to a loud boom. I quickly took to the air and went outside. There was a weird machine there and a pony on the ground not moving. I was kinda worried he was hurt but then he got up and said he was fine. He then asked me to help him with his machine. Now I’m used to pushy ponies (being friends with Rhine, you get used to it), but this guy was wanting to help me with his machine, that just seconds ago caused a huge explosion!( judging by all the burnt ground, it exploded.) I said no but he was quite persistent, so I reluctantly agreed. I Then found out that all he wanted was for me to tighten some screws! I didn't really know whether to be happy, that it was so simple or insulted. I guess both, I am happy that it was so simple, but him explaining it to me like I was a baby, now that's just insulting.

Anyways after that strange and annoying encounter I headed into town. When I got there I saw a quite role model-ish pony wandering about. She looked lost so I asked if she needed any help. She told me her name was Fleur and that she was new, and had never been to Ponyville before. She then tried to explain why, so as to not sound snobby I'm guessing.( she said she was from Canterlot so it seems really odd for her to be so nervous, I kinda wonder if there's a reason for that) she kinda reminded me of well me, back when I first moved out and into my old home in Cloudsdale. I was really a nervous wreck then, thankfully I’ve gotten better. Seeing how she was new I offered to take her to town hall. Once we got there she thanked me for her kindness and asked me if I would like to have some tea some time. Obviously I couldn't decline an offer like that so I said that sounded nice. I left feeling much better. ( being alone for three days I was starting to really feel sad and lonely) she really sounded like a nice mare, I mean I don't know many ponies who would thank me for taking them to town hall. Then again maybe I don't or didn't have very good friends. None the less I think I may have a new friend soon. Or maybe I have one now.

Anyways after that I headed back to the field. I had been there a lot lately, just enjoying the sunshine, running around, flying around, flying super fast, having so much fun doing tricks in the air. I just love spending time outside, especially when running or flying around. It really is awesome. Anyways today there was a strange man there He obviously wasn't a pony, I’m guessing he was a dog of sorts, but he looked nothing like any dog I’ve ever seen. And I’ve certainly never known a dog that could talk. He asked me if I knew where he could get some jewelry, so I told him about Carousel Boutique. He seemed kinda odd, almost...almost a bit suspicions now that I think about it. I hope I didn't do the wrong thing by giving him directions to Rarity's place..... Well I’m sure it will be fine.

Next I headed over to Rarity's to see if there was any work she needed me to do. She said she did need a model but not at the moment. She then told me I didn't have to just come over for work, that I could just come and talk some time. That really doesn't sound like something I’d be too interested in, but I wasn't gonna be a jerk and say no. So I guess I’ll be heading over for a chat sometime soon, well there are much worse things then talking to a pony for a while.

After that I headed over to Applejack’s to see if she had any work, however she wasn't there. Her grandmother was though, I started to tell her that I was looking for work, but she then interrupted me and assumed I was here to, ahem, go on a date with Big Macintosh. It was pretty hilarious now that I think about it, but at the time it was just plain annoying. And really Big Macintosh, there is not a single chance of that ever happening! Anyways, I wasn't able to get my point across ( I think that mare needs one of those new magical hearing helpers I've been hearing about), but I was able to ask Big Macintosh if there was any work. Sadly there wasn't. After checking town hall I had officially determined that there was no work today.

By this point I would have gone and had some fun, but it was already getting late, so I headed home. It's amazing how fast the day went by now that I think about it. I was about to walk into my house when some beautiful music caught my attention. I went over to where the sound was coming from. There was a Grey mare playing the...well I actually don't know what she was playing, none the less it sounded beautiful. I apparently interrupted her by walking over. She introduced herself, as Octavia. We then talked for a while, she seemed like a nice mare, although she also seemed quite nervous and... scared? Not only that but she was from Canterlot. Seriously is Ponyville like the new hot vacation spot or something, I couldn't imagine such a small town being so popular. It seems quite odd though that I’ve already met two mare's from Canterlot, both seeming quite nervous. Is there something going on there that I don't know about?

Well anyways after chatting for a bit I headed back. I was about to get in bed when a sudden banging on my door caught my attention. The banging persisted for a while and then before I could even open the door the pony just barged in. ( note to self lock the doors when leaving house!) she the asked if she could “rent” my bed. She told me her name was Vinyl Scratch. Apparently she's famous or something. Said she was the host of the vinyl scratch tapes. She said it was a radio thing though, and honestly that makes sense, considering I’ve never really listened to the radio. Anyways she explained that an Ursa Minor had destroyed all her music equipment and even her home. I kinda felt bad for her, but when I thought aloud of how terrible that was, she said it was awesome! She said that it was cool to watch but since her home was destroyed she needed somewhere to stay. I really think there's something wrong with that mare's brain, not only that but she was super and I mean super obnoxious though so there was no way in Equestria, that she was staying here! Or at least that's what I thought. After her annoying me for a good 20 minutes, trying to get me to let her stay, I finally said yes. I really didn't want to but she didn't seem like she was gonna stop trying anytime soon. So she is now sleeping and snoring on my saddlebags. I can't say I’m happy about that but I guess it could be worse.

Overall today was quite a busy day, but definitely better then my previous days. I
think Fleur really helped with that. Her kindness really cheered me up. I can't say I’m
not still lonely, and I can't say I’m not still sad about the fact. But I think things are
starting to look up again. Now all I need is for the job situation to get better too. But I
guess I'm good for now and I do have the job with Rarity. Anyways I'm extremely tired
from such a busy day, so I'll just finish this up.
Goodbye

September 27 2012

Well today was an alright day I guess, had another nightmare though. I just don't understand why I 'm getting these. I almost don't want to go to asleep anymore in fear that I'll have another one. I just want them to stop.

Well anyways Vinyl was still there when I woke up for some reason, and she was screaming along with me because quote on quote “ it looked like fun” I swear there is something wrong with that mare. Luckily I was able to get her out of my house within 5 minutes, unlike last night. I then ate my breakfast which thanks to Vinyl ended up being crushed up mushy apple's. “sigh”

I then headed out to help Rarity. It was another sunny beautiful day. But that was just it, while I do enjoy when the weather Pegging can hold off on fall for a few days, by now it was two weeks past when fall starts. Although I guess even Cloudsdale was late. They announced at work the day before I left, that fall would be held off for another couple days due to malfunctions of the machine's. But Ponyville doesn't have any machine's, it's all done by hoof here. So why in Equestria are they this late on fall! I decided to ask a nearby Pegisi about this. She explained that the reason for it still being summer, was because a lot of ponies were sick and the ones that weren't decided to take their time off now. That seemed a little weird, while I knew their had been a bug going around so that part made sense, but allowing almost all the weather ponies left, to take their time off now. What kinda idiot would would do that! But whatever I guess that explains the weather in this town... or at least I think it does.

Anyways, I offered to help out. The pony I talked to said she couldn't pay me, but I'm fine with helping out, they seem like they could really use it. I then hurried over to Rarity's. I had so much fun galloping over there as fast as I could. I always loved going as fast as possible. I guess I had a little too much fun, I got so caught up in my running that I far passed Carousel Boutique and actually ended up getting myself lost. Actually...... why didn't I just fly, I could of seen everything from the air. Gah I'm so stupid, why do I never think of flying!

Well whatever she wasn't expecting me so it's not like I had a deadline. I walked in and found a little dragon inside, no doubt the one Rarity had mentioned earlier. Instead of nicely greeting me though, he accused me of stealing Rarity. It's actually kinda weird now that I think about it, I mean they're different species. Then again he's just a kid, practically a baby, he probably just has a case of puppy love. Of coarse there is no way I'd ever want to “steal” Rarity, she's too fancy for me to like beyond a friend. I'm sorry but the country and fancy type's just,.. I dunno, they just get on my nerves if I spend too much time with them. I then explained I was only here to help, and he believed me. You could definitely tell he was young though, the way he acted was so obviously childlike. While you'd think a dragon would not be someone you'd want to be friends with, he did seem pretty nice, and like I said he had that cute childlikeness to him, that nopony can hate. At least nopony who like's little kids.

Rarity then came out, she told spike to go 'cause sompony named Twilight needed his help at the library. He then asked me if I could do him a solid. He asked me if I could go help twilight at the library, so he could stay there. Of coarse I wasn't gonna do that, I needed the money! When I told him that though, he said he would give me his entire weeks allowance! I was quite shocked that he'd really do that. I didn't have to do the job with Rarity right away so I agreed to help him. But seriously who would be dumb enough to turn down a offer like that!

Once I got there I saw a cute mare sorting books, I asked her if she was Twilight and she said yes. We then chatted a bit. I found out that her along with Rainbow, Pinkie,Rarity,Applejack, and somepony named uhh I think it it was Fluttershy, were the one's who handled Nightmare Moon's attack, Discord's return, and Chrysalis attack. Actually now that I think about it those name's do sound familiar. Ahh Now I remember, I heard about how they handled Discord's,return when I was just a filly. I loved it back then, sitting in my mom's lap cuddling at the end of the day with the fire keeping us warm while my dad told me all the exciting stories in Cloudsdale's newspaper, before drifting off into dreamland. My life was so perfect then. Why'd it have to get so screwed up!.....Well anyways I uhh I'm getting off topic.

After hearing about them as a kid, It was pretty amazing to actually be talking to one of the hero's of Equestria. At the same time though it didn't really affect anything, after all I've never really understood the hype about celebrities. Actually are they celebrities? Nopony really seems to know them. It's actually really odd, you'd think after saving Equestria 3 times ponies would know you. We talked a little more, and.....she told me to do something.......Gah what did she tell me to do! I know it was important!...... Stupid. Memory. Work! Okay I'm upset now, I just know what she told me was important and now I can't remember grr. Well whatever I'll figure it out later.

She then told me that all we needed to do was reorganize some books. Before proceeding to tell me exactly how to sort them, in the most complicated way ever. Seriously I could barley remember all her requirements for sorting them. She even screamed when I got a row out of order ( talk about melodramatic)! But Whatever I eventually got it all done Spike then gave me his weeks allowance. Five bits. Five! Only Five! I had worked for probably an hour or so struggling to get the books organized and I only get five bits! Not only that but he started bragging about his generosity too, that really got on my nerve's. I just wanted to scream at him so badly, in fact I still do! But I knew yelling at him wouldn't get me anywhere, so I just capped my feeling's like always. I dunno, I guess I just expected his allowance to be bigger. Maybe my friends were right, maybe I am just some stupid naive little filly................... Okay I need to stop thinking about the past it never does me any favors.

I then headed out with Twilight, she said she was picking up some groceries. She then asked me what my cutie mark meant. I actually don't know what my cutie mark means. I know that probably sounds so stupid. Everypony know's what there cutie mark means. I guess that's something that might be worth figuring out, but not right now. I quickly tried to divert the topic, before I could finish though a poster slammed into my face. It seemed really odd for the wind to just blow randomly like that. Cloudsdale being the center of all things weather had a schedule for every town in Equestria, and I never saw it in the schedule for there to be much wind in Ponyville, but yet there has been. Well whatever it's probably just another malfunction of the machines.

The poster was advertising a magician named Trixie. From what Twilight said though she didn't seem like a very nice pony. But I do like magic shows so I decided to check it out. That orange pony then interrupted us saying she found me another job. Umm what was her name again, Scoola hoops...no........ Grr seriously I remembered her name just a little while ago, why can't I remember her name now! I should be able to remember it, I'm good with name's gah. Well whatever she then lead me to a very nice looking cottage with little critters everywhere.

Scoo uh whatever her name was took me over to the Everfree forest. The mare named Fluttershy said she needed me to help her find her pet bunny Angel. I asked her why it was so dangerous, and she causally listed off the many many dangers. How in the world could this filly just act as if it was perfectly safe! Still I couldn't not help her. She lost her pet in there, I 'd be a total jerk if I didn't help her find her pet.

So we went into the forest. I suggested we split up so we could find her bunny faster, and the faster I could get out of that forest the better! It didn't take long for me to regret spitting up though. Gah Why am I so stupid, splitting up never works! Well whatever, after being chased by a manticore, I found her bunny. He didn't want to budge though. But after a little persuasion I got him to follow me. Then the manticore came back, and actually led me right to Fluttershy. But instead of being scared and running away, she started treating him like a little kitty cat. That mare is a lot tougher then she looks.

After that we finally left and she gave me 20 bits. I was pretty impressed that she'd give me that much for just finding her bunny. She must really love that little guy. It was so heartwarming. I then left happily. Her personality reminded me so much of myself, I really think we could be great friends some day.

It was getting late so I headed over to that magic show thing. When I got there though there was only one other guy there, Twilight sure was right when she said no one wanted to see her preform anymore. The guy there was named Sethesto, he was really strange, and way too obsessed with Trixie. He was just really weird, I really hope I don't run into him too much.

Trixie then came out, but she was really upset that only two ponies came to see her. She was so upset she din't even do a show. I kinda wanted to see the show so I went to talk to her. She actually seemed amazed that I still wanted to see he preform. She then show'd me a couple of tricks, but nothing really that I haven't seen already. She was also such a braggart, I'm sure that's just part of her act though, right? If it's not then I have a feeling I'm gonna hate her.

Well she did at least give me her autograph.... but it's not like I really wanted it. Still it did add a little shine to my home. I was about to get into bed, when Twilight stopped by. She thanked me for being nice to Trixie. I didn't think it was that big of a deal, I'm seldom mean to anyone. But it was still nice to hear. Anyways that was pretty much my day. Definitely a crazy one, now I'm really tired and ready for bed so I'll finish this up.

Goodbye

Author's Note

the text is a bit bigger on this this one, so I recommend you use small font.

2.As you know Joy's Diaries are based off the game Welcome to Ponyville by Filly Gamez. This game was being released in parts like chapters of a book, there were 5 days in Act (part) 1, so I created a journal entry for each plus one before the adventure started. Sadly though Filly Gamez has been dealing with some people who have been trying to ruin their game for no reason. :ajsleepy: They have finally given in and more likely then not won't be continuing their game Welcome to Ponyville. While I could continue this story, I liked making this one because I created the plot though my decisions in the game, and then created this story by just elaborating on that. If I were to continue it now, and have to actually create the plot myself that would take most of the fun out of it, and when the author isn't having fun making the story it shows. I'm really really super duper sorry, there is nothing I hate more then to give up on and cancel a story, once I have published it for the world to see. But I just have to with this one, I will be posting some of the other stories I've been working on though, so you can at least look forward to those. Again really really sorry for stopping this story, please don't hate me :fluttershyouch:
