Chapter 4: 4. Sleeping Arrangements

Previous Chapter Next Chapter

Twilight noticed the 4 of them standing there; she said "You're the four ponies I just healed in the hospital right?"

The group nodded still confused on how this is at all real.

"Well, let me introduce myself, my name is Twilight Sparkle. These ponies are my friends," gesturing to each one as she said their names "Applejack, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, and Fluttershy." Fluttershy was backed away a bit. Fluttershy was a bit shy because of the new ponies.

Dylan started off by saying, "Well my name's Dylan and these are my friends."

Ben said "Shadow Dash."

Andy replied "Andy Rust."

Conner responded saying "Astral Wings."

Dylan and Andy were surprised that Conner and Ben thought up names for themselves. While Conner and Ben were surprised that Dylan and Andy didn't.

Twilight asked "What happened that you ended up in the hospital?"

With the others not knowing what to say Dylan spoke up, "We were heading somewhere when we got hit by something, I don't remember where we were going."

Applejack then said "Where did y'all live before you get injured?"

The rest still not knowing how to respond Dylan spoke up again "We lived in Fillydelphia, we wanted some excitement so we ventured out of the town, I'm guessing that's when we got hit and brought to the hospital."

Twilight responded "Fillydelphia is a long way away; you must not have any place to stay."

Applejack said "I have an extra bed one of y'all can sleep on."

Rarity chimed in "And I have spare room too."

Pinkie Pie joined the conversation "I'm pretty sure the Cakes won't mind you use their guest bedroom!"

After a few more seconds nopony else said anything about an extra room, so Twilight said "But that only covers 3 of you, one won't have a place to sleep."

Dylan looked at his younger brother, "I'm pretty sure Astral won't mind sharing a bed with me, will ya?"

Conner, well now, Astral, replied "Of course not."

Andy said "I'll go with Rarity."

Shadow replied "Guess I'll bunk with Pinkie Pie."

Applejack said "Guess that leaves you two with me at the orchard, follow me and I'll show you your sleeping area."

They all went back to their homes, Astral and Dylan following Applejack, Shadow following Pinkie Pie, and Andy following Rarity.

Place: Sugarcube Corner

Shadow Dash and Pinkie Pie arrived at Sugarcube Corner. Pinkie, after finding them, asked Mr. and Mrs. Cake, "Can my new friend Shadow Dash stay here in the guest bedroom, he came from Fillydelphia and he doesn't have any place to stay so can he? Huh, can he?"

The Cakes looked at each other for a moment then looked back at Pinkie. Mr. Cake said "Sure he can."

Mrs. Cake then looked at Shadow, "You just have to be quiet at night, because Pound Cake and Pumpkin Cake is in the room next to you."

Shadow Dash nodded and said "Alright."

Place: Carousel Boutique

Rarity let Andy inside to the Carousel Boutique. Rarity gave Andy a tour of the entire building, her bedroom, his bedroom, Sweeties Belles bedroom when she sleeps there. They both went back to the living room.

Rarity got a little curious and asked "So what did you do to get your Cutie Mark?"

Andy looked back at his Cutie Mark then back at Rarity; he always loved to draw and paint and got pretty good at it. He had to think fast, he replied back to her "Oh, when I was younger I always liked drawing and painting, my drawings got good so I decided when I grow up I would be an artist and it appeared."

"Oh is that so darling? Could you show me some of your work?"

Andy didn't know what to do, he can't hold a brush or pencil with his hooves, and he doesn't know how to use his horn. Andy didn't want to lie so he said "I would but I don't have something to draw on or draw with."

Rarity used her magic to pull out a pencil and some paper. With the pencil and paper lying down on the counter Andy had no idea on what to do. He tried thinking of a way of holding the pencil with his hoof, he envisioned himself holding it, which then made the pencil glow and start to float.

Andy was a bit confused; he then envisioned the pencil drawing what he wanted to be drawn. Andy started drawing the boutique. When he finished he showed Rarity.

Rarity was fascinated she said "You captured the exterior of the boutique perfectly!"

Place: Sweet Apple Acres

Astral Wings, Dylan, and Applejack arrived at Sweet Apple Acres. Astral and Dylan were given a tour of the barn and met the Apples, Granny Smith, Big Macintosh, and Applebloom. Noticing they were 'Blank-Flanks' Applebloom asked Astral and Dylan "Would you two like to join our club"

Astral and Dylan looked at each other then back at Applebloom, Dylan, knowing what Applebloom meant, asked "What's the club about?"

"Me and my friends, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo, are trying to find our Cutie Marks as fast as possible; we're the Cutie Mark Crusaders"

Astral responded "I'll think about it."

Dylan replied "Why do you want your Cutie Marks as fast as possible? Don't you know you get it when it's time?"

"Yeah, we know, but the sooner we find out our special talents the sooner we will stop getting made fun of."

"Well the way I heard about my friend getting his, is that when he decided he wanted to be an artist when he grew up it came. So it might not be about what you do, but it might be about when you choose to do something you like. I've seen, if I can remember the names, Granny Smith, Big Macintosh, and Applejack, they all have Apple related Cutie Marks, so if you decide to do something for the Apple farm then you may get your Cutie Mark. Make sense?"

After a few seconds Applebloom responded "Yeah, I think so… Anyway I have to go back to the Crusader clubhouse, Bye." She ran off.

Dylan thought "Good because I have no idea what half of I just said meant."

Place: Canterlot Castle

As Celestia lowered the sun to make way for the moon her younger sister asked "Are these the correct ones?"

"Yes little sis, they are."

"Do they need be trained? Get ready for the attack?"

"Relax my dear Luna, there are still months before the attack happens. These ponies will be ready by the time that happens."

Luna went to go raise the moon but still couldn't get the thought of the monster destroying all of Equestia.
