Note: Hey guys! Glad to hear you liked the first chapter, so here's another one! Will be updating this story more often, like on Mondays and Fridays. Thanks for the reviews, y'all! Let's see what's in store for the Searchers today in Ponyville...

The Searchers had all gathered in the library, Doc's new home in Ponyville. They had asked Derpy to introduce them to the town, as they had all recently moved in. They did not know any pony, or any locations in Ponyville, so they asked Derpy to show them around.

"OK! We are now inside the library; a house tree with a lot of books inside!" Derpy said. They all stared at her with frustration.

"Um… don't you mean tree house?" Doc said.

"Oh… right!" Derpy said.

"Uh, Derpy? We know that already. We want to know more about the other places in town," stated Leon.

"Oh, well why didn't you say so? Follow me!" she exclaimed as she led them outside the house. She led them through town, and stopped at a shop in the corner. "This here is Sugarcube Corner!"

"We know that Derpy… unfortunately," Leon stated shamefully, remembering that he blew the roof off of the shop. That was their first day in the town, and it didn't end up well. During that day, they had planned a party for Derpy Day, but a pony had accidently set the oven too high, and caused the roof to explode. He and the Searchers had helped to clean up the mess soon afterwards, and had strained their relations with the storeowners.

"Don't worry; I'm sure the Cakes won't hold a grudge, especially after blowing up their store! Plus, Pinkie Pie had already told them she set the oven too high. Besides, she said she didn't have enough time to welcome you all yesterday, so she wanted to do it today!" Derpy said excitedly.

Leon glared at Derpy. "That doesn't make me feel better," he said annoyed.

"But I know what will..." she hinted.

She led them all inside, and they all received a yell of surprise. Leon freaked out, and ran towards the door, unaware that Derpy had already shut it. He slammed into it, and fell onto the floor dazed. "OWWW!" he said painfully. The ponies inside looked with concern at Leon, but he brushed off his daze and returned to normal. "I'm OK. I just need to relax my head…" He was interrupted by the sound of a blare horn going off near his ears. His head rang even more, and he clenched his head in pain. "Yep! That made it much worse!" he exclaimed.

Pinkie Pie stood next to him, smiling and holding an air horn in her hoof. "Welcome to Ponyville, guys! I didn't introduce myself yesterday! My name's Pinkie Pie! What's yours!?" she exclaimed quickly.

Trying to absorb everything that just happened, Leon regained himself yet again. "Well, I'm Leon! I just moved here two days ago. So did some of my friends as well," he explained.

"My name is Chloe, and I'm also new here. I'm a vet and a medic," Chloe explained.

"My name is Doc, and I live in the library here," Doc said.

"Allow me to introduce myself. I am Percival William Preston III or 'Percy' for short," Percy stated.

"Well, howdy! My name is Annabelle, and I grow and harvest clovers back home!" Annabelle exclaimed. "Care to introduce us to your friends, Pinkie?" she asked.

"OOH! Good idea, Annie!" she exclaimed in response. Annabelle did not like that she was called "Annie" by Pinkie, and she pouted. Pinkie went up to the storeowners, Mr. and Mrs. Cake. "I think you already met the Cakes, but if you haven't, here they are! Mr. and Mrs. Cake! Not only do they own this shop, but I help them out a lot with the baked goods!"

Leon and the other Searchers looked with guilty faces away from the Cakes, and the Cakes went up to them. "Welcome to Ponyville, ponies! Don't worry about yesterday; it's all in the past. Besides, you were kind enough to help clean up the mess. We thank you for that," Mr. Cake said.

They seemed to feel better, and Pinkie went to the next pony in line. She was an orange filly with green eyes, about the same age as Pinkie, with her blond mane brushed and tied at the end. She had a cutie mark depicting three apples. "This here is Applejack! She grows a bunch of apples here and then sells them to us! Kind of like your friend Annie with her clovers!" Pinkie exclaimed.

"Howdy there, y'all! It's a pleasure to meet ya!" Applejack responded. The Searchers noticed she spoke with a Southern accent, similar to, but not exactly like Annabelle's Midwestern accent.

"Hey guys, recognize the accent?" teased Cloud.

"I sure do, Cloud! Annabelle?" responded Leon sarcastically. They both snickered and laughed a bit.

"I don't talk with an accent!" both Applejack and Annabelle denied simultaneously. They turned to each other in shock, and looked back to see every pony in the shop laughing. Both ponies' faces turned red with anger, but they managed to hold their temper.

Pinkie then led the Searchers to the next pony, also Pinkie's age. She was a white filly with dark blue eyes. Her mane was a dark purple, well groomed, brushed, and clean. Her cutie mark showed three diamonds. "Leon, this here is Rarity! She helps make dresses and suits and outfits and costumes and everything else to do with clothes!" Pinkie exclaimed.

"It's a delight to meet you all," she said pleasantly. Leon and the others extended their hooves to meet her, but she reeled back. "Oh, um… yes. I… I don't believe you have all groomed. Excuse me," she said. Leon and the others looked at her in annoyance, and noticed she spoke in a very prestigious tone. Obviously a valley filly. Leon thought to himself.

"Um, Percy, you know sophistication more than any of us here. What did she mean by that?" Cloud asked.

"She's afraid of bacteria and microbes, as well as dirt, grime, muck, and dust. I am as well, but not enough to not shake a pony's hoof when it's offered," Percy responded. Rarity was amazed that he understood her, but a bit ashamed that she was deemed lower than Percy in terms of prestige and mannerism. She lowered her head in a mix of shame and annoyance.

Pinkie then went up to the next pony. She seemed a bit older than Pinkie and the others, but was offset by something. She was a yellow Pegasus, with a pink mane that covered most of her head. She had light blue eyes, and a cutie mark of three butterflies. "Her name's Fluttershy! She doesn't speak much, but she's very kind! She talks to animals, and helps take care of them!" Pinkie exclaimed.

"Well, hi, Fluttershy!" the Searchers all said.

Fluttershy stood there, looking off to the side, swinging her foreleg back and forth. She didn't speak up, and still looked away.

"Um… hi?" Leon said. He knew how being shy was like, considering he was very hesitant many times before. She turned to him, and looked away quickly. She then whimpered, and continued staring at the ground.

"You like helping animals? So do I. Maybe you can let me help sometime soon," Chloe offered.

Fluttershy nodded, still whimpering softly. "OK… who else is here, Pinkie?" Leon asked.

"OH! Right, this here is our friend, Rainbow Dash!" Pinkie said, motioning to a cyan Pegasus filly with a rainbow-colored mane. She was the same age as Pinkie, but she seemed to act much younger than that. Her cutie mark was a storm cloud with a rainbow-colored lightning bolt.

Leon didn't bother to greet her. I've known this pony before. Even though she's about five years younger than me, her ego is enough to reach even the Pegasi back home. "I believe I know her. Cloudsdale, right?" Leon asked unpleasantly.

"The one and only! How did you know that? Am I that famous!?" she boasted.

No… you wish you were. You're the one who made that Sonic Rainboom that we saw at Clover Ranch. Celestia told me that you made it. Wait a minute… Leon turned to Cloud. "Hey, Cloud. She apparently has never heard of you. Tell her about your skills." Leon had intentionally mentioned Cloud so that she could show Rainbow a thing or two.

Rainbow Dash instead challenged her. "Oh, really? What 'skills' does she have? I can do a Sonic Rainboom, so what does she have that I don't?" bragged Rainbow.

Cloud, now a bit annoyed at the filly, now had accepted the challenge. "How about an EMP? Can you do that, Rainbow?" asked Cloud arrogantly.

"I don't know what in Celestia an EMP is. But I bet it's less radical than my Sonic Rainboom," Rainbow argued.

Cloud, not wanting to take any more smack from this young filly, stomped her hoof on the ground, and stared angrily at Rainbow. "You think your hot stuff, Skittles? How about you and me race around the town? First to fly seven laps wins; you game or are you all talk and no walk?" Cloud challenged.

Rainbow, having been justly insulted by Cloud, also replied angrily. "Who you calling Skittles, old timer!? All right then, we'll race. But not just that… you're also gonna show me your EMP, and I'll show off my Sonic Rainboom. We'll see who's better than whom at the end of it." With that, Cloud and Rainbow stared each other down.

"Well, I'm glad we all got along so well! We should get along with this party, cause there's cake and ice cream and brownies and muffins and punch!" Pinkie exclaimed excitedly. She obviously did not notice the tension in the room.

"Oh, boy, here we go with this again…" Leon said.

Note: This episode is gonna be a two-parter. The reason being because I didn't want it so long, but I'll update the story with the second part tomorrow, so you don't wait long. Thanks again, and hope to see you guys back!

Also, going to post Friendship is Undead earlier than intended, like on Sunday or Monday, seeing as many like zombie ponies. This story and Spiritual Setback WILL be updated until completed, seeing as many stories I read about zombies are not. Thanks again!
