Murmurings and whispers filled the air as the town’s ponies entered Town Hall. Mayor Mare had an idea of what sort of whispers and rumors were being passed around.

“Attention! Attention everypony!” the mayor called out, “I need your attention!” Mayor Mare pulled out a gavel that she rarely used in any courts, and the sound of it hitting the wooden podium echoed around the room, causing everypony to stop talking.

Many eyes of pegasi, unicorns, and earth ponies were suddenly upon her, and Mayor Mare had a brief flash of her childhood stage fright, before taking a deep breath and looking at her notes.

“Good evening, fillies and gentlecolts. As you are aware, there was a dragon sighted with a blue Pegasus earlier today, and I just wish to answer some questions regarding the two.”

“Wait, a dragon with a blue Pegasus?” one voice shouted. “Was that dragon purple, with, like, green spines?”

“Yes, that is the dragon. Why?-”

“Aw yeah!” a dark Pegasus colt with a blue and white Mohawk shot into the air. “Spike’s here! I haven’t seen him in a year! Is he still growing or is he still only a bit taller than everypony?”

“Sit down, Thunderlane!” Mayor Mare ordered, “They are nobility, and should be treated with the utmost respect!”

Thunderlane flew down with a frown, “Aww, did Fortuna finally get to them about status?...”

“I do not know who this Fortuna is, but I can assure you they were acting like most Canterlot nobility.”

“So they’re stuffy and uptight?” one mare asked. The room filled with sniggers at the comment.

Mayor Mare could only sigh, “While I do not wish to say that, they certainly felt as if they needed to be above us. Nevertheless, the purple dragon named Rainbow Spike and the blue Pegasus named Rainbow Dash are going to be staying in their cloud house and will be citizens of our humble town of Ponyville. Now, whenever they come to town-”

“Wait!” Mayor heard a very familiar and unwelcome voice, “They’re still here? And they’re going to stay here?!”

“Yes Pinkie, they are still here. They have paid in full for the cloud house and-”

“Ohmygoshohmygoshohmygosh!” Pinkie Pie, an earth pony with a vibrant pink coat and poofy mane, jumped up into view of everypony in Town Hall.

She started bouncing towards the exit. “So that’s what my pinkie sense was sensing! New neighbors! Oh, I’ve got to get started now if I want the party to be tonight!”

“Party…?” Mayor Mare asked absentmindedly before realizing whose party it was going to be, “Wait, no, Pinkie!”

Pinkie was already gone by the time Mayor Mare called out. All eyes, which were focused on Ponyville’s party planner leaving the building, now turned back to the mare on the podium.

Mayor Mare once again felt the childhood stage fright, and could only wince while repeating out loud, “Oh dear, oh dear, ohdearohdearohdear…”

Author's Notes:

Wrote this in the morning as an afterthought to the 'dragon sighting in Ponyville'. Thanks a lot to Flutterbrony539 for the early morning editing job!

By the way, if y'all didn't know, I've got two other stories that I'm currently working on.

Santa Rosa. It's my attempt at the HiE genre, with a lot of 1980s South American street influences. Check it out if you like HiEs.

Bared Spikes. This new one is another older Spike fic that is a little it more dark and edgy. If you like dragons with self-esteem issues and had been slaves under ponies before they escaped to Ponyville, than check this one out as well. This one will feature FlutterSpike as well! (along with a love rectangle for the guy...)

Thank you all for the feature board on 08/07/16 too. You guys rock!
