Day 4 of Life in Ponyville

I finally got myself a house in Ponyville, after a due amount of string pulling due to the 40 bit public disturbance fine.

=3 days prior=

"What? At least Rarity finally got back to sleep, if anything, she owes us for destruction of property."

=Present=

And Rarity apologized and made up for it by making me and Vinyl some swagadelic new duds for the Canterlot Annual Ball. Vinyl's in charge for the music, much to the disdain of Octavia, and I got a top hat and a tux, an honored guest of the princesses. Although there's only one problem: 'I can't waltz worth shit.'

"BWAHAHAHHAH! Dancing?! I'd sooner make a rainbow sunset than dance at a party," Discord laughed at the notion that I was actually invited to the Ball, "By the way, why did you ask for some power tools while we were about to leave Canterlot?"

=2 Days Prior=

"Derpy, could you mail these to Princess Celestia in Canterlot?"  I asked the resident mailmare in Ponyville.

"Sure thing, Rainbow Dash!"

"I'm not Rainbow Dash..." I stopped trying to figure out her reasoning long ago.

-Royal Palace, Canterlot-

"Sis! We got mail!"  Luna said excitingly, she liked getting mail.

"Oh? I wonder who it's from?" Celestia normally received letters from Twilight Sparkle, so getting letters from someone else seemed like a nice change of pace.

"It's from Aoi, the wolf who saved Canterlot a few days ago. and He sent quite a few.

"To The FIRPLACE!" They both jumped onto the couch to find it collapsed underneath them causing them to land with a thud.

"Looks like we need to get a new couch." Luna said nonchalantly.

"CAN'T... MOVE... WING CRUSHED UNDER FLANK!!!" Luna found her sitting on Celestia's Right wing.

"Oh my, sorry sis..." She got up and helped her get reajusted.

"We don't need a new couch, well I mean we do, but how did a couch break overnight, we just got this one from Dodge?" Celestia pondered.

"Anyway, let's read the letters!" Luna Excitedly Opened up the first one.

Dear Princess Celestia,

It's Me, Aoi. I'm writing this to you while falling towards Ponyville.

Where did you get the cannon and how much did it cost?

I learned that any type of fabric can double as a parachute, and Not to trust carpets with square indentations.

Sincerely,

The guy you just shot out of a cannon.

PS: SOOOO not going to be on the moon anytime soon.

Luna facehoofed while Celestia chuckled.

"You still have that cannon don't you..." Luna inquired with a serious face.

"MAAAAAAAAAYBE. *snicker*" Luna rolled her eyes and opened the next letter.

Dear Luna,

Love your sister, she loves you too...

-Aoi

The both stared at each other and started to cry, then hug each other. Luna started sniffling as Celestia patted her on the back and stroked her mane to comfort her. If you D'AAAAAAW you lose. They kept silent and continued a loving embrace. They understood what the other was going to say, therefore no worlds were needed, excet these,

"I love you Luna..."

"I love you too..." They wiped away their tears and opened up the next letter.

Dear Princess Celestia

I made a new friend, I believe you've met him before...

Your favorite wolf,

Aoi

"I new friend? I wonder who could it be?" Celestia pondered all the people she met...

"Favorite wolf, he's the only wolf." Luna paused for 3 seconds before getting the joke.

=Present date=

Discord fell on the floor with laughter and wiped off a tear before asking,

"You did that? No WONDER you asked for the power tools. but when did you do that?"

"While she was looking for the Ponyville file, I went into the study and unscrewed the legs, and removed the support braces, anything heavier than a softball would make the chair go tumbling down." I stopped to imagine what the princesses' reaction would be...

"But what about the gunpowder?"

"You'll see..." I had a devilish grin,"but first, time to see how I look in my duds." I shuffled around town while playing a personal track of mine over the loud speakers. Vinyl taught me how to tie into the mayors PA cables around Ponyville. Suddenly everyone started grooving and a flashmob formed as soon as the music dropped, Me at the front.

"Fuck yeah, We do what we want." Groovay! Everypony started shuffling, even 4 of the mane six to the left of me, all dressed for the ball: Pinkie in a partydress, Applejack in Flannel, Rainbow Dash in a Bitchin Multicolor zootsuit and fedora, and Rarity in a peacock feather type outfit, fluttershy was too, well...shy, and twilight stayed home to read the latest issue of the Daring Do series. We phantom shuffled down to the trainstation bound for Canterlot and turned it into the Da SOUL Train. I'd say my hat and tux get a win. The music winds down and everyone takes a seat, out of breath.

"And that my friend, is how I groove, but I couldn't dance to classical music to save my life, which is why Vinyl is in carge of the music." I winked at him and he seemed to understand. Some glanced and wonder who I was taling to, then I spotted the mane 6, well 4 of them, and sat down among them.

"*Ahem* Remember me?" I said in my best Discord Impression. All four of them Jumped out of their seat and into the ceiling. i could help but roll on the floor laughing. They pulled their heads out of the ceiling and took up battle formation.

"Relax sugar cubes, I'm only screwing around." Other than Pinkie Pie almost glomping me to suffocation, and Rarity sending me the apology outfit, I've never actually met the mare 6 until now so they had no Idea who I was. I could've sworn Pinkie would have thrown a surprise party for me. They looked at each other and sort of calmed down. I stuck out my paw:

"Hi there, we've never met except when Pinkie tried to hug me to death." Pinkie Pie shied away, embarassed. The others started to Introduce themselves, shaking my paw, AJ and RD having suspicious looks to them, Rarity inspecting the suit, proud of her handiwork.

"And you?" Pinkie asked.

"Aoi." I knew what was coming next.

"Are you hurt?" Pinkie zoomed around me trying to find any wounds and stuff. CUE FACEPAW!

"No, my name is Aoi, A-O-I." They all said 'Ohhhhhhhh' in unison.

"You know, I've been here 4 days already and no welcome party." Pinkie gasped in revelation.

"That's RIGHT! I'm so sorry. I, Pinkie Diane Pie, promise to throw you the most awesomest greatest welcome party you've ever seen at Canterlot."

"Pinkie Promise." Just had to see it just once.

"Cross my heart and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye." Yup, jabbed her hoof into her eye like nothing. Now to mess around a bit,

"And the rest?" Pinkie Pie gasped, she thought I was serious. She pouted like i didn't trust her enough,

"If I may and if I might, my pinkie promise stays tonight." Now she had to go through with it perfectly.

"Great!" I pull out a detonator and flick the switch. The track blows up underneath us and causes the the train to jump, sending everyone onboard into an momentary zero G state,

"I'M FREEEEEEE, MATHAFUHKAA!!!!!" I had to hold onto my hat.

"So that's what happened to the gunpowder. When did this happen, and how did you know It would work," he was also flying a bit.

"I have NO IDEA!" I yelled in my best German accent.

The train corkscrewed once in the air before landing on the track. Everyone was jostled and lying on the floor.

"Did anywun get the lahcence plate on that runaway cart?" Aj stood up dazed.

"Oh no, this simply will not so, The plumes ruined now! Oh the Equinity!" Rarity being the drama queen.

"THAT was FUN! Do it AGAIN!" Pinkie pleaded me.

"Sorry, that was the last one." I pulled an awesomface. Pinkie sighed. I'm glad she enjoyed it not sure about the others. Which reminds me where's Rainbow-

"HYAAAAAH!" 'SHIT!' She caught me from behind in a hedlock and started doing the equivalent of a noogie. Ow..., "You're alright, Aoi, You're alright." Rainbow Dash approved. WIN!

"So, If I don't mind me asking, what exactly is the Canterlot Ball about?" They all gasped in surprise.

"Only second to the Galloping Gala in extravagance, my dear, celebrities from across Equestria gather to dance and relax in a night in entertainment, and music, and dancing." Rarity beamed. Looking for Hollywood endorsements, maybe?

"Princess Celestia Invites a guest of Honor every year to have the dance of honor, anystep, anysong,with anyone." Pinkie explains the whole guest of honor stuff.

"So romantic." Rarity's eyes flutter.

"This year's guest of honor is a guy they said took down a dragon while playing music!" Rainbow Dash got excited, "That guy must be soooo awesome."

"Or girl." I made a dramatic face, with a 3 note suspense key playing in the background. I looked back to see a string ensemble with none other than Octavia. I turn around slowly.

"So what do you think they'll be like?" I'd rather use they as a singular non-gender specific pronoun. Save grammatical structure for literature...

"Whoever he is must be dashing, a real hunk!" Rarity still looking for the guy of her dreams, hearts showing in her eyes. Rainbow Dash bursts her bubble.

"Actually, he ran through Canterlot to warn everyone first with nothing but a bathrobe on. A guy who can kick dragon butt right of the shower is fine by me." Rarities face went into shock. I turned around trying to keep me from laughing.

"So what d'you think of this mystery dragon slayer?" Apple Jack turned to me.

"Meh, I'd rather not talk about someone I know nothing about." i struck a nerve in Rarity somehow. Pinkie stared at me inquisitively.

'SHIT!' forgot about Pinkie, she can sense hooey from a mile away.

"I don't know, Maybe the guest of honor's just a regular mare or stallion like the rest of us." Pinkie postulated.

"Regular doesn't beat a dragon into next week, regular doesn't shave a dragon's scales clean off, and regular doesn't give it a funeral afterwards."

"Wait a funeral?" I kept talking to keep my cover.

"Yep, they had a funeral for the dragon afterwards, and the dragon dissappeared into a million lights into the sky," Rainbow Dash described the funeral.

"How beautiful it must have been. To send a dragon off into the next life like that, he MUST have style." Rarity's completely smitten.

"We'll find out once we get there." I try and change the topic. Everyone sighed.

"So, Aoi, where you hail from? We don't get many other species in Ponyville besides us ponyfolk." THANk YOU AJ! Hmm... what should I say... nowhere they know.... I start to grin.

"I hail from a place called Skyrim." RD's ears perk up at the name.

"What's Skyrim like?" She asked with great interest. Time to string her along for the ride.

"Skyrim's actually a floating island, up North, Lost among the clouds. There Dragons and Wolves and other Creatures live together amongst the sky. There's a great balance of power so that one species can't overtake the other, the Dragon's Fly, but the Creatures of Skyrim have magic."

"MAGIC?!" Everyone's started to widen. I demonstrate by reaching behind Pinkie Pie and Pull out her Party Cannon.

"FIRE!" I stand on the cannon, point forward and pull the rope, scaring everyone as confetti erupts from the cannon. Pinkie seems overjoyed.

"Holy SMITH! You could do that too?" AJ's eyes widened. The thought of another animal like Pinkie was too overwhelming.

"Yeah! It's something I called Hammerspace." Pulling out a hammer from behind my back for emphasis. Everyone laughed, By the way, don't mention this to Twilight or she'll try to experiment on me." 'SHIT! I said too much'.

"Wait how do you know about Twilight?" AJ suddenly got suspicious.

"I slept on your barn the first night I got here, found a bunch of newspapers thrown up there, and read up on Ponyville, you 4, Twilight and someother pony are famous, I couldn't find a group picture. By the way, I hope you didn't mind I slept on the roof." Nice thinking brain. 'Your Welcome.'

"No problem. Wait, how'd you know it was my roof?" I pulled out a poster for Sweet Apple Acres with AJ's picture, "Oh..." Pinkie pie then brought up a long since topic of interest.

"By the way, what happened at the hospital the other day? You just up and poofed!" 'Oh that...'

"Apparently Wolves can also use magic in their sleep if they really really wanted to..." I felt uncomfortable talking about this.

"Well, it's nice to have someone visit who doesn't cause trouble." Rainbow Dash resolved. Wonder what that's about?

"By the way, thanks for the suit Rarity, the stitching is well done." she blushed. BONUS POINTS!

The PA announcer's voice came on the loudspeakers, "Welcome to Canterlot Station, have a nice day."

======================================================================

Dear Princess Luna,

Try walking and writing at the same time, betcha you can't do it without bumping into anyone at Canterlot Station. Oh, and tell Princess Celestia not to mention about me to Rarity, AJ, RD and Pinkie, okay. I want to make this a surprise.

Best Pea Shooter in Equestria,

Aoi

P.S.: Beware, I HAVE WAFFLES!
