The New Pony in Town: Chapter one

The New Pony in Town.
Chapter one
Welcome to Ponyville.

Vova Lights, the ex-premier painter of Canterlot's art world, stared out of the window of the train towards her new home.

Ponyville.

She wore a troubled look as thoughts of the one responsible for her fall ran through her mind.

Curse him. Why did he do it?

She had been on her rise of fame, until her manager turned on her, and took everything while she was left with nothing.

Fortunately for her, one of her best friends, Vinyl Scratch, and her marefriend, Octavia, offered to let her stay with them in Ponyville.

She packed everything she had, her easel, her paint, and her toothbrush.

That was it. She had nothing else. Except, well, for the pink, star-shaped, hair clip that she always had pinned on the right side of her head. The clip rested in her pink, with streaks of far lighter pink, mane. Her mane was fairly short, and messy. Her tail was messy as well, and normal length. Also it had the same coloring as her mane. Her coat was the same color as her eyes.

"You okay?" a voice asked from behind her. She turned her head to the right to find her best friend giving her a small smile.

The light blue unicorn didn't reply, instead she just returned to staring out the window. The DJ sat down next to her, then told her, "I know it hurts. But that's Canterlot for ya. You think you are in bad shape? You should've seen Tavi when I first met her. SHE had it bad."

Silence.

"Come on, at least talk to me. I can't help if you don't talk." She had a worried look on her face.

Vova sighed, then turned to face the alabaster unicorn, with her light blue eyes.

"I just don't want to talk about it." Vinyl stared into her close friend's eyes.

"Your eyes say differently." The DJ finally said after a whole minute of silent staring.

Vova looked away, "Whatever." she replied.

The white unicorn nudged her best friend on the side, "Hey, cheer up! Why don't we go talk to Tavi, okay?"

"I don't know...."

"Come on, you can't stay sad foreveeerrrr..." She began nudging her some more, causing her to giggle a little.

"Okay fine," She replied. "I'll go." She then gave Vinyl a weak smile. "Thanks Vinyl, you have always known what to say."

"No problem, "The other mare replied, as she returned the expression, " Now let's go!"

----------------

Octavia sat at the table in the lounge, listening to Behoofteen's fifth symphony using a pair of headphones her marefriend got her for Hearth's Warming Eve.

She glanced up at the clock.

Twelve-thirty PM.

Vinyl left to go comfort her friend thirty minutes ago.

I hope she is doing okay. What was her name again? I believe it was Vova. Ma-

"HEY TAVI!!" The DJ shouted in the cellist's ear, interrupting her thoughts and making her jump ten feet into the air as well. Vova giggled at the scene.

"Well I see you are in a better mood." Said the grey mare as she recovered her composure quickly, due to her being used to her marefriend's antics.

Vinyl, being back in her usual self, replied with a big grin, "She sure is! Now we are both here to give you TWICE the fun!"

"We are basically going to bother you." The artist explained, with a smile.

Octavia chuckled.

"Oh is that all?"

The two unicorns nodded happily.

At least she is in a better mood.

The rest of the thirty minutes was full of fun, and served as an excellent distraction from the sadness and anger the cyan unicorn was feeling.

----------------

The trio disembarked the train, carrying their baggage with them.

"So this is Ponyville....." Vova said. Vinyl put a fore leg around the cyan unicorn, as she held a hoof out for dramatic effect.

"Yup! Home sweet home! Glad to be back," She nudged her best friend's side, "and you're gonna love it here." She told her with a big grin.

"Yes it is quite the comfortable town." Octavia added, with a smile.

Bursting from between the two mares, the obnoxious alabaster mare shouted, "Oh Yeah! Let's go say hi to the neighbors!!"

"Should not we leave our baggage at home?" The musician asked, arching an eyebrow.

"Oh yea, we probably should." The alabaster unicorn replied rubbing the back of her head with a hoof.

And so they began venturing through the town's square towards their home.

The artist was clearly enjoying the sights of the small town, which drew a smile for the DJ and musician.

There were various ponies doing various things. Like there was a mint colored unicorn mare and cream colored earth pony having lunch in front of a restaurant.

Also, there was always something interesting going on. One example being the cross-eyed light grey pegasus mare, with a mail bag, who somehow was flying straight while upside down.

The most interesting sight of all, was the completely pink earth pony mare, moving at complete inpony speeds. Mostly because the pony was headed straight towards the group. More specifically, Vova Lights.

While the other two mares had the sense to jump out of the way, the cyan mare was completely dumbstruck just by the SPEED the pony was traveling. The pony smashed directly into the unicorn mare, tackling her to the ground.

"Opps, sorry!" A bubbly cheerful voice said, as somepony helped up the still recovering artist. Her vision cleared to spy a completely pink earth pony mare with a mane and tail whose shape reminded her of cotton candy.

The pink mare gasped as she realized she had never seen this pony before, which meant one thing.

She was new in town.

"Ohmygosh! Youmustbeanewpony,youknowhowIknowyou'reanewpony? BecauseIknoweveryponyinthistownsoifIdon'tknowyou,youmustbeanew!WhichmeansIhavetothrowyouaparty!" With that, the energetic mare zoomed away.

"What was that?" The confused mare asked.

"That was Pinkie Pie. The most random pony I know." Vinyl replied with a small laugh.

"Is she always like this?"

"Pretty much." Octavia responded, with an amused smile.

"Onward!" The DJ yelled obnoxiously, dragging the other two mares along with her.

-------------

"Why are we doing this again?"

"Shh!!"

"Bu-"

"Quiet! We can't get caught!" Vinyl hissed at her best friend in a whisper.

"But why are we hiding?" Vova asked.

The alabaster mare rolled her eyes. "We are helping Sweetie Bell and her friends get their cutie marks in finding ponies."

"Ohh...."

The duo peered out of the bush they were hiding in to spy the three fillies, accompanied by Octavia.

"Oh no! They got Tavi!" The DJ said just barely loud enough for their hunters to hear.

The grey mare watched in amusement as the three fillies hushed each other as they crept up the bush that had a blue tail and a pink tail sticking out of it.

Not the best at hiding.

The musician began counting down in her head until the "surprise" would happen.

Three.

Two.

One.

"CUTIE MARK CRUSADER PONY FINDERS!!! YAY!"

The two unicorns burst from hiding, laughing their flanks off as they did, and were tackled by the trio.

Then they quickly got up and checked their flanks. After finding that they still lacked a cutie mark, a downcast look came over them.

Vinyl popped up in the middle of the three with a huge grin.

"No time for sadness, time for tag!" She announced loudly. A cheer rose from the two unicorns and three fillies. However this was cut off by a loud "AHEM" coming from Octavia.

They all stopped and looked at the grey mare, who, with a stern look, pointed towards their baggage.

"Forgetting something?"

A sheepish grin appeared on the DJ's and the artist face.

"Oh yeah. Sorry you three, but we gotta get the baggage home." She told the trio. A series of sounds of disappointment emanated from the three.

Then themiddle one, an earth pony with a yellow coat, and red mane, brightened up as she got an idea.

"How bout' we git our cutie marks in bag carrin'!!" The other two grew excited at that, and rushed over to the trio's baggage yelling, "CUTIE MARK CRUSADER BAG CARRIERS!! YAY!"

Vova, and Vinyl, began to laugh, as Octavia tried to convince the excited fillies that they didn't need help. She was, however, unsuccessful and the three very energetic young ponies accompanied the mares home.

------------

"SURPRISE!!! Do you like it? I threw this party just for you! I'm Pinkie Pie, and I'm your new friend!"

The musician jumped five feet in the air, as the pink party pony yelled the greeting. The other two unicorns laughed at the sight. The light blue unicorn tried to calmly shake hands with the party pony, but got an energetic handshake instead.

"Umm... hi I'm Vova Lights."

"It's soooo nice to meet you Vova!! Wait, can I call you VL? Pleeeaasse?" Pinkie replied, it was hard to keep up with what she was saying.

"Um sure." The unicorn replied. The pink mare smiled broadly, then shouted, as she dragged a surprised Vova into the crowd, "ALRIGHT! TIME TO PARTY!!!"

She was joined by Vinyl yelling, "OH YEAH!!"

The party then fully began. Several ponies were in attendance. Streamers hung from the walls, and confetti coated the floor. Various party snacks where located on a table that sat in the middle of the living room, and loud music began to play.

The party was pretty chaotic, and continued well into the night, mostly due to the fact that both Pinkie and Vinyl were in attendance. Vova had a pretty fun time, and Octavia had a pleasant time.

The artist tried her best not to get involved in the festivities, as in the drinking, but found it impossible.

"DRINK! DRINK! DRINK! WHOO!!! Everypony shouted, as Vova downed the hard cider.

It was the forth pint, her vision was blurry and her world was sideways. She felt like she had four left hooves, as she lost her balance and crashed into the table, knocking it over. Her world slowly faded to black, as the sounds of the party disappeared.

(Author's note: Thanks for reading!! Also thanks to Acrylic Dawn, A.K.A VovaLights, for giving me such a nice gift, so I hope you enjoyed it most of all. At any rate, I hope you enjoyed this, and have an amazing day!)
