A train bound south from an unknown place pulled into the Ponyville Station. Two stallions got off. One an Earth Pony who called himself J Dog was carrying a chest, a backpack, and a satchel. The other a unicorn named Stardust as carrying much the same things except instead of a chest he was carrying an extra two bags both his.

“So J… We’re here. What next?” Star questioned.

“We find a house and buy it! We have enough money to do that plus food, and two new beds! I also have some extra to get some building supplies.” J Dog responded.

“Great. Let’s get this moving then!” Star said as he and J walked out of the station.

As they hit the main street just outside of the station a pink haired mare leaped in front of them.

“What the…” J began.

“You look like you'd be good at eating cupcakes! My names Pinkie pie! I haven't seen you two around here before. AND THAT'S UNACCEPTABLE!” Pinkie screamed.

A ponies looked at them before shaking their heads and going back to whatever they were doing before.

She cleared her throat and smiled.

“Um… Okay?” J Dog said quietly. He was slightly unnerved by the sudden screaming.

“Sweet I love cupcakes! It’s great to meet you Pinkie and we just arrived! We haven’t really had much time to meet anypony so sorry about you not knowing us!” Stardust replied calmly.

“That’s great! Oh oh! I know! I bet you both really want to meet everypony in town!” She said in a really happy tone, “How about a welcome to Ponyville party!?! Oh Silly me! Of course you want a party! Who doesn’t want a party?!?!”

“That sounds great!” Star responded with an almost equally happy tone.

J looked off towards the Everfree and saw a cloaked figure walking near the edge before it disappeared into the forest. From what little movement he saw J could tell that it was female. He snapped back to attention when Star tapped his shoulder. He shook his head and said, “Sorry.”

“It’s alright.” Star responded.

“Now… It’s going to be at Sweet Apple Acres tonight! I want both of you to come!” Pinkie said as she ran off.

“Well that was productive.” Star said to J.

“Yeah that was… now we’re invited to a massive party on our first day here? That’s great!” J said quietly. He continued with, “That may give us time to pick out…”

“Not here not now.” Star snapped.

“Sorry! I just got caught up in the fact that I want a mate soon!” J stated with a little distaste.

“So do I, but unlike you I don’t feel like I’m inadequate Moon Moon.” Star said with an evil smile.

“Shut the hell up. I have to deal with that retard controlling my body every time I go feral!” J said. He raised his voice and a few ponies glanced over.

“Come on lets find a large house before you make a massive scene.” Star said. He walked further down the main street.

Before J Dog joined him, J gave one last glance towards the forest, he half expected her to be standing there. He shook his head a little and followed Stardust down the road.

After a few minutes of searching Star was able to secure a large house, four bedrooms, three baths, a large living room, a large basement, a deck, and a medium hot tub.

They each took a bedroom and set their stuff down. They regrouped in the living room.

“So… you go after the food and drinks… I’ll go after the furniture and building supplies?” J Dog said.

“That sounds good. You know what to get with the building stuff and the furniture.” Star responded, “Let’s go! We need to be back here before tonight!”

“Yeah. We do…” J agreed.

They both left the house at the same time one headed to the market the other to the building supply store.

J Dogs POV

______________________________________________________________________________

I stepped out of the house at the same time as Star. With a single nod we went our separate ways.

I walked towards the other side of town. Along the way I was greeted by two mares.

They both approached me as soon as they saw me.

“Oct just watch this I’m sure he know what good music is!” The white skinned mare said.

“Vinyl you’re dreaming too much. I’m sure he doesn’t like your wub wub music!” Her grey skin friend responded.

“Sure I am…” Vinyl snapped, “Hey dude what type of music do you like?”

“Depends. I’m more into rock and heavier stuff. But I’m into a basic mix up. Rap rock, Rock, some classical, some electronic. Not really a specific type. I can’t really have a favorite as I do play a few instruments myself and I was part of a band for a really short time.” I answered.

“Ha. There’s more string instruments involved than not!” The grey mare said.

“No there’s more electronic instruments involved!” Vinyl said back, “I told you I was better Octavia! I TOLD YOU!”

I sighed, “I’ve got a…”

“NO!” They both snapped, “You’re coming with us!”

“Um… okay?” I responded a little quietly. I’ve learned that if two mares are fighting and they want you to come. You’d better listen. I’m not going through that ever again.

They dragged me off to their house which was across the street from the building supply store. I guess I got lucky.

I was shoved onto a couch and Vinyl went to get something from another part of the house.

Octavia collapsed beside me and looked like she was about to break.

I knew that feeling well and I knew how to quell it. “Hey Octavia is everything alright?”

“No… This stupid argument’s tearing us apart! It started when her last colt friend ditched her for one of my orchestral partners… she blamed me and… it’s been going downhill from there!” Octavia responded lamented, “Then the mare he left Vinyl for left the group! Now I’m not only down one member but I’m losing my closest friend!”

Vinyl stepped out of the hallway she had entered. She wasn’t carrying anything new she just stared at Octavia.

“Re… really… you… but I thought you…” Vinyl began before she rushed over and hugged Octavia.

I sighed and was about to get up to leave before Vinyl sat on my other side and held me down to the couch.

They both hugged me tightly.

I sighed deeply and laid back. The couch was starting to become really comfortable.

“Thank you… No other pony we dragged back here cared about either of us enough… they were just angry that we forced them here… Thank you!” Octavia said happily.

“Yeah… maybe… Hey since you're new here… Pinkie’s throwing a party for you right?” Vinyl questioned.

“Yeah… she is.” I responded. By now they were making themselves comfortable underneath my arms and against my body.

“Tonight? I can’t… I have to head to Canterlot!” Octavia said.

“Hm… Well then it can wait… Maybe later when you get back?” Vinyl asked.

“Yeah… That sounds great!” Octavia responded, “I’ll be back in a week or so.”

“Great!” Vinyl said.

Vinyl let go of me and walked back to the other room.

Octavia held me more tightly and nuzzled me, “So… I never asked your name.”

“Just call me J or JD.” I responded.

“Well J… how about I give you a little early thank you…” She said. She kissed me on the lips and pulled away, “Just wait for me alright…”

I nodded as she let go of me.

“If you need anything while I’m here just ask…” She whispered. She got off the couch and went back into another room. I got off the couch as well and walked towards the door.

Vinyl approached me from behind and placed a hand on my junk. “Mmm somepony’s being a bad boy… You’re getting me all wet… Too bad I’ll have to wait… good luck with whatever it is that you were going to do… J…”

She let go almost instantly and laughed a little.

I left their house with two major impressions made. First that hooded mare had some competition for becoming my mate… second. Star’s going to enjoy Vinyl.

I walked over to the building supply store which conveniently was also a furniture store. The coincidence is uncanny.

I went in and ordered the furniture which would be delivered tomorrow. I also picked up the tools I needed and asked to have the other stuff delivered as well. In total it cost a pretty penny but we had more then enough money.

Next I should pick up a few books on construction. I’ll need to get the local laws so I can build for the town. I saw the sign marking out the library. That’s my first stop. Then I’ll head to the government hall.

I walked over to the library and entered. I was greeted almost instantly by a flying book and a dragon trying to catch it. I scooped it up and handed it to him.

“Thanks!” He said.

“No problem.” I responded.

He saw my tools and asked, “Are you looking for something?”

“Yeah just a few books on construction.” I responded.

“Well… I don’t know where to find any books like that… I’m sure Twilight would though! Let me get her!” He said as he rushed up a staircase.

A few seconds later a lavender skinned mare rushed down, “Finally! I was beginning to think not a single pony in this town actually wanted to read!”

She stopped and looked at me expectantly.

“Well… yeah… The name’s J Dog. Just call me JD or J. I’m looking for anything on construction and building.” I said quickly.

“Well J… I’m Twilight Sparkles… Right this way…” She said as she led me to another part of the library.

After she led me there I spotted the books I needed and grabbed them.

“So… you're checking those out?” She questioned, “Okay!”

She wrote down the names of the books and ushered me to the door. It seems I wasn’t what she expected.

“Well thanks Twilight…” I said as the door slammed shut behind me.

I shook my head and packed the two books away. Last stop the Government hall.

I walked right there and as soon as I got inside I saw the Mayor standing there pointing at a map.

“This house right here?” The Mayor questioned, “Why would any house need to be leveled?”

“Filthy wants to start construction of a new mansion. He chose that site.” The stallion beside her responded.

“But a transaction to buy it just went through. They hit several thousand above the asking price just to keep most of the furniture.” She said.

I was about to leave when the Mayor looked over, “Yes?”

“Um… I’m here to start filing for building and zoning permits…” I said quickly.

“Ah. That shouldn’t take too long. Come right this way I’ll have them for you in less than an hour.” She said as she waved me into her office.

An hour later

“There you are Mr. J Dog.” Mayor Mare said as she handed me the two permits.

“Thank you Mayor.” I said happily.

“Just make sure that if you are as good as you say that you don’t start ripping off ponies.” She joked.

“No! I wouldn’t ever. I’ll just laze around with my own home additions! When I’m getting paid I feel the push to get it done!” I said with a laugh.

“Well then I will be seeing you and your friend tonight!” The mayor said as I left.

“Goodbye Mayor!” I called back.

I left the building and started back to my home. As I got close to the house I saw a yellow skinned mare rush out and down the road.

“Hm. Bastard.” I said quietly.

Author's Notes:

This is a story i am working on with a close friend. His name on FIMfiction is Patric12345. I write all scenes for Stardust. Stardust is an original character created by me, while J Dog is Patric's character. In the story they are polar opposites, but are best friends. While my scenes may lean more toward a nice and romantic approach, Patric is more knitty gritty and dark at times. So you will usually be able to tell when we shift off. One chapter may be written through J Dog's perspective, the next might be Stardust. And when we are together, me and Patric are pretty much roleplaying making it up as we go. J Dog's character has a dominant personality, forcing people into the pack by rape / breaking them, and can get infuriated when provoked. Stardust however is a lot more caring, and prefers to convert people by gaining their trust. He has a way with words and is usually good in social events or situations, being able to talk his way out of a bad situation.

Please give feedback on how you like our two characters. Tell us who you like better, and ways on which we can improve the story. Thank you for reading and i hope you enjoy the story.
