Meeting New People

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

It had been almost 5 minutes into the tour and Damon was never as confused in his life as he was today. In that 5 minutes Pinkie Pie was blasting names of other ponies out of her mouth. Finally Damon had enough of it and said, "I thought you were going to show me your friends, not everyone in town." Pinkie Pie looked disappointed at Damon and stopped walking.

"I'm sorry, I just thought that you wanted to know everypony in Ponyville as well." She looked sad and was almost about to cry.

"No, no I just wanted to meet your friends more than everyone else." Damon said in his defense. He was also getting a thought through his head, why did she say everypony, maybe Kaikrussian ponies have other words that are different from Equestrian ponies. "Listen, if you wanna be up all night introducing me to everyone in town then I'm probably not gonna be to happy about it. Understand." Damon says hoping that she understands what he means.

"Okey dokey lokey." she said and they started walking through the town, "I should take you to see Rarity first." she said grabbing a hold of Damon's left hand and started pulling on him. She seemed really excited about her decision and was pulling harder, rushing Damon to walk faster. While she was pulling Damon, they were passing all sorts of ponies that she would have introduced him to, but Damon got through to her and he is happy with that. They walked to an area that looked like a court yard, the middle of Ponyville, although Damon feels like he was walking in a circle.

"Look out!" shouted a random voice. Damon looked to see a person flying towards them. Damon pushes Pinkie Pie out of the way and then jumps to the side to evade the person. The pony crashed into a pile of boxes which fell on top of her. She pokes her head out and appeared to be a sky blue mare with rainbow patterned hair, she was wearing a sports vest and running shorts, or in this case flying shorts and a pair of running shoes. "Wow, that was close. You really need to watch where you are going."

"Hi Rainbow Dash." said Pinkie Pie as she gets up from the ground and begins walking towards her.

"Hey there Pinkie Pie." said Rainbow Dash, "What are you doing out here, don't you have to cover for Mrs. Cake at Sugar Cube Corner?"

"It's fine, I locked the place up and closed it for the day." Pinkie Pie looked around for a bit and spotted Damon swiping dust off of his jacket. She then grabs Rainbow Dash and begins to pull here towards Damon to introduce him. "Rainbow Dash, I would like you to meet Damon. He is my new friend here in Ponyville and I am showing him around."

Damon begins to walk closer to them and holds out his hand for a handshake, "Nice to meet you." Damon said in an angry tone. Being almost crashed into by a crazy Pegasus really made him angry.

"So you are Damon?" she said looking at him, "Sorry, but you must be 20% cooler to talk to me."

"Ha, that's funny, cause I'm already cooler than you by 80%" replied Damon. Rainbow Dashes cheeks turned red at that comeback, embarrassed that she had been beaten.

"Alright you win, but don't get to carried away. Just as long as you know that I am the best flyer in all of Equestria." Rainbow Dash crosses her arms and lifts herself off the ground with her wings.

"Right, and what exactly do you do here in Ponyville, fly figure 8's in the sky?" Damon said in a joking manner.

"That's not what I do... anymore, I help with the weather here in Ponyville and I train to join the Wonderbolts." Rainbow Dash explained in a proud manner hoping that it would make Damon respect her more.

"Yea well good luck with that." Damon said grabbing Pinkie Pie's hand and begins pulling her off with him, "I think I'm done here. Can we just see whats her face now?" Damon said extremely annoyed.

"You mean Rarity?" Pinkie Pie asked, even though she already knew the answer to that. "Why were you so mean to Rainbow Dash by the way?" Pinkie Pie saw the annoyed expression on Damon's face and was hoping he would be straight forward with her.

"She is way too full of herself and I hate people like that." Damon said in an annoyed fashion. "Seriously, why does she think she is the best? I've seen Pegasus who ripped off their skin with how fast they flew."Damon continues to walk and Pinkie Pie tries to keep up with him. "Are we almost there yet or not?"

Pinkie Pie rushes ahead of Damon and stops him in his tracks, "We are here." she said with a wide smile on her face trying to forget their conversation about Rainbow Dash. "Welcome to the Carousal Boutique." she said as they were standing outside the door. Pinkie Pie reached over and opened the door and on the inside was filled with many dresses and other wears.

"Oh great, just where I wanted to go, a shop for girls." Damon said sarcastically. They walk into the building but don't see Rarity to be anywhere in sight. "What makes you so sure she is even here?"

"Because she also lives here." Pinkie Pie replies. "She is probably in the back working on some new design or something."

"Great, there is a back room now." says Damon, "Next thing you know she is gonna come out with a chainsaw and try to kill us."

"Whats a chainsaw?" Pinkie Pie asked.

"Never mind, forget I said that." They continue to look through the Boutique looking for Rarity, heading deeper into the shop they see a door. "This must be the back room." Damon opens the door and sees a silver mare with curly yet styled purple hair. Under it was a horn revealing that she was a unicorn, and she was using her magic to help her work. She was wearing black designers pants and a white long sleeve sweater. On her feet were black high heeled shoes and black socks. To not just Damon's eyes but to any colt out there, she was beautiful. "And this must be the Rarity you keep telling me about." Damon says, turning his head to Pinkie Pie. Rarity turns her head towards them to see who was at her door.

"Pinkie Pie darling, what is with this unexpected visit while I work on my next masterpiece?" Rarity said stopping what she was doing. At first she didn't even realize that Damon was there too, but she noticed after a bit. "My, who is this? I believe we never met."

"Damon Draconus, I am new here and I am looking for a place to stay as well as being brought on an annoying tour. I bet you can guess by who." he said pointing to Pinkie Pie. For a few seconds it was quiet while Rarity was staring Damon down, then a surprised look went across her face.

"Oh my, what is that horrid attire you are wearing!?" she said, pointing at Damon's clothes. Damon looked confused while she was ranting about his clothes. "And you stink, why do you smell so bad!?"

"Well I was traveling for days to get here and I don't necessarily have a place with a shower." Damon said in his defense, "And what is wrong with my clothes?"

"Why they are horrid, rugged, and don't even get me started on the material. What is this jacket made of?" Rarity says while feeling Damon's jacket, unaware of what leather actually is.

"Dried up cow skin." Damon replied. Rarity let go of the jacket and had a sickly look on her face. "I have a feeling I said the wrong thing Damon said. Rarity's face was almost pure green, she looked like she was gonna vomit, but she sucked it up and went back to their conversation.

"I can't believe I touched that." Rarity said, "We must find you new clothes immediately."

"Lets get out of here!" Damon yelled, grabbing Pinkie Pie's hand and dashed out of the shop. Damon kept on running till he saw no sign of Rarity's Boutique. "Alright, who is next on your list of crazy friends?" Damon said while they were walking down a dirt path.

"Weelll, Applejack is the closest, look there is Sweet Apple Acres." Pinkie Pie pointed out. Damon looked and saw what appeared to be a ranch that was surrounded by apple trees.

"Of course someone named Applejack would live at an apple ranch." Damon said in a sarcastic manor. He looked around and saw a barn, a ranch house, and tons of apple trees. Damon was annoyed with the whole fact that he was on the tour of crazies to begin with, but then he realized that he forgot to ask Rarity if she knew about any open places for him to stay in. "Lets just get this over with."

"Now I know Applejack should be around here somewhere." Pinkie Pie said, looking around the trees. "She is usually getting off of work around this time."

Damon was looking around as well then he heard the sound of a mare saying "Yeehaw" in the background. Damon closed in on the sound to find an orange colored mare with long blond hair in a pony tail near the bottom and a brown cowboy hat on top. She was wearing a red long sleeve shirt with the sleeves rolled up to her elbows. She was wearing short jean shorts that went halfway down her thighs, almost to her knees and brown boots that were beaten up and dirty. She was covered in sweat from a hard days work and was taking a small break. She turns her head and sees Damon for the first time and walks over to him. "Howdy stranger. What brings you here?"

"My name is Damon Draconus, I am new to Ponyville and looking for a place to stay while being brought on this annoying tour by your friend Pinkie Pie." Damon replied leaning himself on one of the apple trees.

"Well howdy, I'm Applejack and welcome to Sweet Apple Acres." She says, taking off her hat and wiping some sweat off of her forehead with her forearm.

"Do you know if there are any places for me to stay at all?"

"No not really. I haven't seen any whenever I go into town." she puts her hat back on and begins to think for a bit.. "Maybe some pony with a little extra room in their house will rent it out to you. Just as long as you have the money for it."

"Dammit. I don't have a lot of money on me."

"Well, your always welcome to come work here at the ranch, we could always use extra hands." Applejack looks around a bit to see how the day has gone, she bucked at least 20 apple trees that day and she wanted to buck more. "Now if you will excuse me, I need to get back to work." she puts her hat back on and heads over to an apple tree.

"You do that." Damon said, turning back towards the way he came from. "Pinkie Pie we are leaving!" he yells. Pinkie Pie sticks her head out from the bottom of a tree branch.

"Aww, we are leaving now. I was having so much fun climbing trees."

"Yea well fun time is over, what friend is there next?"

"Only one more." Pinkie Pie says while climbing out of the tree, "Fluttershy." They walk over to the exit of Sweet Apple Acres and begin walking to a bright friendly looking forest with little woodland creatures everywhere. Damon didn't recognize any of these creatures, because in Kaikrussia the animals are very aggressive and close to monsters.

They walk up to what appeared to be a house made out of a tree. A large tree stump to be exact. "This is where she lives?" Damon asked, even though he already knew that, since it was the only home out there.

"Yep, this is where Fluttershy lives. But I need to warn you, she is a little shy." Pinkie Pie knocks on the door and waits for an answer. The door slowly opens and through the crack appeared a yellow skinned mare with long pink hair that covered one eye. She was wearing a long green dress and green shoes to match them. She was one of the most beautiful mares Damon has ever seen in his life, but being the stone-heart Kaikrussian he was, he didn't let those feelings affect him.

"Oh, hello Pinkie Pie." she said in a soft pleasant tone that was close to a whisper. Then she turned her head over to Damon and a surprised look went over her face and a squeal came from her mouth. She shut the door on them and locked the door.

"Is that how she says hello to new people?" Damon said, giving Pinkie Pie an annoyed look.

"No, as I said, she is just a little shy." she replied.

"You call that a little."

"well maybe not a little." she knocked on the door again and said, "Fluttershy, can you please open the door? I want you to meet someone." The sound of the lock on her door switched and the door slowly cracked open again.

"Are you sure Pinkie Pie, I don't think I can handle this?" Pinkie Pie nodded her head and the door slowly opened some more. "Okay." she said softly.

Damon reached out his hand and said, "Hello, my name is Damon Draconus." Damon was tired of saying his name and wanted to get it all over with.

"My name is... Fluttershy" she said, but here voice got softer and Damon couldn't fully hear the last part.

"Can you repeat that?"

"My name is....Fluttershy." this time there were a few cracks in her voice but it was easier to hear and understand. Damon put his hand down knowing that she was too shy to shake his hand.

"Well nice to meet you." he said, in a much nicer tone. Damon felt like he had to be nicer to people who were shy or neglected due to the way he grew up in Kaikrussia. "Well then, I guess I will see you around." Damon said looking up at the sky seeing that it was almost dark outside. He was wondering where the time went.

"Bye." Fluttershy said fast, and slammed the door shut again. Damon and Pinkie Pie turn around and head back to Sugar Cube Corner. Damon ad an angry look on his face when they got back because it was dark outside and Damon didn't find a place to stay.

"Well that was lovely, I met all of your friends, and all it cost me was not finding a place to stay." Damon said sarcastically. Pinkie Pie looked at Damon with an excited expression on her face.

"I just had an idea. The Cakes have a spare room in Sugar Cube Corner, maybe if you pay rent they will let you stay there."

"Yea well I thought they were outta town." Damon pointed out.

"Only for 2 more days, and since I'm in charge I can let you stay in there. If you work at Sweet Apple Acres for those 2 days then maybe you can earn enough to convince them."

Damon is actually pretty surprised with Pinkie Pie, did she really just have a good idea. "Well then fine, I will try." then Damon gave a small smirk on his face. "Wait a minute, are you sure this isn't just your way of getting me to be closer to you?" he asked as a joke but Pinkie Pie didn't recognize it and her cheeks turned a little red.

"No of course not." she said.

"I was just kidding." they head into SCC and Damon brings his stuff up to the spare room. The room was fully equiped, it had a bed, a desk, a dresser, and a closet. There was enough room for Damon's stuff and anything extra he gets in Ponyville. Damon doesn't even think about setting his stuff up, that could wait until the Cakes actually confirm that he could stay there. At the moment all Damon could think about is sleep. He drops onto the bed and passes out almost instantly. He has a busy day ahead of him.
