Finding Home
Chapter 2: Chapter One: The Mayor.
Previous ChapterAfter Cloud had drank the coffee, he was heading off to the place with a big sign up front that reads "Mayor's Office". He did some searching and some people gave him odd glances. He felt..unwelcome. Then, he found the office. He entered it and the guard noticed that Cloud was the pegasus who crashed into town and let him meet the mayor. "Welcome to "Slice of Heaven!" I'm the mayor!" Exclaimed the mayor, with a hint of ego. "Um, yeah..whatever..just can you tell me how do I get back home? Or where my home even is?" said Cloud, ignoring what the mayor just said. The mayor, with her mane being of a "LOOK AT ME" color, a light green. The color of her fur was a boring first person shooter brown. The mayors cutiemark was a pamphlet. Probably a great deal maker.
"Well, you "flew" from the direction where most adventurers come from." Said the mayor, expressing mild discomfort. "Goody. I can get home. Which direction is it?" Cloud said, with a slight smile. "Actually, you should get some packages. You can't survive a walk that long. The ponies here always greet a visitor kindly." the mayor said with a grin. "I guess I should get some things done..but I don't have that many bits.." noted Cloud. "Couldn't you stay here for a while? We could host a party for your arrival!" The mayor exclaimed with a hint of excitement. "A party? Gee..I guess I can.." Cloud said, unsure of the nature of this idea.
While the mayor is setting things up, Cloud Cowboy checks out the town itself.
"Wow, parties..wait. Wasn't there a pony who used to throw all kinds of parties in a different settlement? Oh, that's right! Party Pie..wait..Pinkie Pie. That's it." Thought Cloud to himself, remembering a specific pony. "But wait..I didn't go there from the high place..on the clouds..Wow. I'm remembering things.." Cloud thought to himself, letting out a small smile to his discovery. "Hey, you!" Said a familiar voice from behind. "I figure I should introduce myself. I'm the first one who noticed that you had crashed into town. My name's Jonathan." said Jonathan, the cashier from Snack and Coffee Corner. "Oh, that's an odd name..not to be insulting or anything." Cloud noted, with Jonathan giving a slight chuckle. "I know, I know. My parents couldn't come up with a name so they just threw a bunch of random names in a hat and picked one at random. Not the brightest I'd say." Jonathan said with a bit of a chuckle remembering that funny event. "Heh..I can't remember a thing." Cloud chuckled after saying this. "I would be surprised if you even remember how to fly." Jonathan said, noting the pair of wings on Cloud. "Oh yeah, those..Wait..I think I remember something.." Cloud said, pausing to put a hoof on his head to imply that he is THINKING. "I was racing another pegasus..a cyan one..I got pushed with a lot of force and I went off course.." Jonathan was surprised. "Wow, must have been a very strong push." Jonathan said, raising an eyebrow (Do ponies even have eyebrows or..I'll shut up.) and thinking about what that cyan pegasus wanted from him.
