Touring Ponyville

"And done," I said

After returning to Ponyville, Twilight and I got the basement cleaned up. We got everything to make White Claw's and Chi's room perfect. They had everything they would need to make it in the basement of the library. Twilight used her magic to place a few windows for natural light, and strangely enough, there was already a bathroom set up with a shower. But everything was ready for them.

"Yay, our new room." Said White

White Claw and Chi checked it as I stood next to them as I just finished putting the final light bulb.

"Yes, it's sure is different than a worthless mattress on the floor." Said Chi

"Well, you don't have to worry about that. You two are free and have your lives back," I said

"Yeah, a whole new beginning." Said White

"So if you two are done checking out your room, how about I give you a tour of Ponyville. You might as well learn where everything is, plus you can meet a few of the ponies that live here," I said

"Sure." Said White

"I wouldn't mind that." Said Chi

"So let's get going," I said

We went upstairs, and I said goodbye to Twilight and Barb. Moon was at school and then would be with her friends. Flame was napping as usual in his favorite spot. I closed the library door and thought where to go first and decided to see Rarity as Chi and White Claw didn't have much in the way of clothing and could use some more.

***

After a while of walking and pointing out some places to White Claw and Chi and even stopping to talk to some of the ponies we passed. We made it to Rarity's boutique. I pushed open the door, and the bell rang off as we pushed the door open. We walked in, and Rarity's sing-song voice rang out through the building.

"Coming."

Chi and White Claw walked around looking at the clothes as I stood around waiting for Rarity. Soon she came back the steps and gave me a quick kiss on the cheek.

"Hello, darling, what brings you to my shop?" Asked Rarity

"I was showing White Claw and Chi around Ponyville. So I decided to stop by your place and see if you can make Chi and White Claw some more clothing," I said

"Well, then you came to the right mare." Said Rarity

"I'm impressed of what you can make, Rarity." Said White Claw

"Thank you, White Claw. My cutie mark does give me an eye for fashion." Said Rarity

"Yeah, Rarity has the best eye of fashion in all the town of Ponyville," I said

"Please darling, you're flattering me." Said Rarity

"I thought I that was my job," I said

"Rarity, tell me, do you know where I can buy gauze?" Asked Chi

"Well, I know a few places. Why do you ask?" Said Rarity

"Because of my feet." Said Chi

She showed us the bandages that held tight to her feet. I still haven't asked her why she wears those yet. I looked to see White Claw looking at herself in a mirror holding up a few dresses Rarity had on a rack. I smiled as I turned to Rarity as she spoke to Chi

"Your feet." Said Rarity

"You see in my culture. We walk on the tips of our toes. The reason is to give us an edge in battle. When a fox is born, they get their feet tied in gauze to teach them to walk. As we grow, we adjust to this life. But we, foxes, must replace our bandages every week as to give our feet a break. That's what I wanted to talk to you about, I need you, Xavier, to start changing my gauzes." Said Chi

"Me," I said

"Yes, White Claw always replaced my gauze every week by stealing gauze. White Claw happens to be a master thief." Said Chi

"Guilty as charged." Said White

"But why me?" I asked

"Because in Fox culture, males change the gauze of female fox whether that be a father, brother or even husband." Said Chi

"I see, but wouldn't it be easier for White Claw to continue to do it," I said

"Yes, but I like to live as close to my culture as possible." Said Chi

"Strange you want to live like a fox from Fopan when they placed you into slavery." Said Rarity

"Yes, but even as a slave, my mother taught me the cultures of my people. I can't just go against that." Said Chi

"Understandable, strange, but understandable. I guess I can do it. I don't see a problem with doing it. You'll just have to teach me how to do it and everything I need to do," I said

"Thank you, Xavier." Said Chi

"So how do I look?"

We all turned to White Claw, who was in a soft yellow dress. It didn't have any straps but seemed to fit her body perfectly. She gave a spin to show it off. The dress was long enough to pass her knees. She stopped and smiled at us.

"Looks cute on you," I said

"I thought it would, so can you buy it for me." Said White

"Rarity, how much?" I asked

"Well, that dress was from my half off section, and it was originally thirty. So for you Xavier fifteen bits." Said Rarity

"I'm shocked, Rarity charging me for clothes," I said

"Darling, you get my generosity in making new clothing. Not in buying clothing I already made." Said Rarity

I chuckled a little at Rarity, "So Chi, does anything strike your fancy?"

"So are buying us what we want?" Asked Chi

"Yeah, you two are new here and don't have income yet. I got plenty of cash from working at Applejack's farm and my books," I said

White Claw took Chi's hand and dragged her over to the clothing. I chuckled a little to myself.

"I think you might be here a while darling. I'll go get some tea started." Said Rarity

***

After about an hour at Rarity's shop, we were off again. Chi and White Claw both bought plenty of new clothes and gave Rarity the designs of clothing they wanted her to make. They didn't have any bags as Rarity was going to the library to return a book and would drop them off then. As we were walking, I heard White Claw's stomach growling.

"I guess I'm hungry." Said White Claw

"Well, how about we stop and have some lunch. I know the perfect place, and we aren't too far from it," I said

We walked a little more until we reached Sugar Cube Corner. Chi and White Claw stared at the gingerbread building as we stepped inside. It was hopping as ponies sat around eating. Many said hi to me as I walked up to the front.

"They sure know you, Xavier." Said White Claw

"Well, I happen to be a hero to Ponyville. Let's just say I killed a giant Timber Wolf a while back. Plus I've been living here for a while now. I doubt that anypony in Ponyville doesn't know about me," I said

We reached the counter, and Mrs. Cake came out from the back. She had a cerulean coat and a crimson mane with a lighter stripe going through her mane. I still find it strange her mane looks like whipped topping. She had rose colored eyes. She had on a pair of tan pants and a yellow shirt with her yellow apron covering it. On the apron was her cutie mark of three cupcakes.

"Hi, Mrs. Cake," I said

"Hello, Xavier." She said

I first meet Mrs. Cake and her husband and twins when Pinkie introduced them to me one day, while I was visiting the shop. They were sweet and kind ponies.

"So what are you doing here today?" Asked Mrs. Cake

"Showing around some new people," I said

I pointed to White Claw and Chi, who were checking the place out.

"White and Chi," they turned to me. "I would like you to meet Mrs. Cake. She runs the place with her husband. Also if Pinkie works here if you ever are looking for a familiar face."

"Pleasure to meet you." Said Chi

"Yeah, the same here." Said White

"Well, welcome to Ponyville and Sugar Cube Corner. Feel free to check out our menu and order when ready." Said Mrs. Cake

"Get anything you want, everything today is one me," I said

They nodded before looking at all the sweets. I then saw a sign next to the register asking for help.

"Looking for help, Mrs. Cake," I said

"Yes, my husband and I aren't always around, and Pinkie is the only other pony here. I've been looking for somepony to fill the position. I don't suppose you want to fill it." Said Mrs. Cake

"Wish I could, but I'm working for Applejack," I said

"Darn, well if you know anypony who wants to work here part time. I'm hiring, and position comes with excellent pay" Said Mrs. Cake

I nodded as White Claw, Chi and I ordered our food and found a table. Pinkie came out later with our food, and I thanked her. I gave her a little tip for all her hard work. She thanked me and bounced back to the kitchen. We all dug into our food and White Claw, and Chi seemed like they were in heaven as they ate.

"It feels like I'm floating on a cloud of bliss." Said White

"Yes." Said Chi

"Yeah, the sweets here can make you feel that way," I said

"So Xavier, if I heard right, Mrs. Cake is hiring." Said White

"Yeah, part-time help around the shop, why?" I asked

"Well, I've been thinking. Chi and I are going to be living with you, Twilight, Barb, your brother, and your daughter. You are going to help us in the area of income as we don't have any. But I don't want to burden you with that. So I was thinking about getting a job so that I can have money. That's why I was asking to make sure I heard right." Said White

"First off White Claw, you're not a burden. I have three successful books here in Equestria and work part-time at Applejack's farm. So I don't find helping either of you financially a burden to me. Second, it isn't bad to find a job, while here in Ponyville. I think it would help you get used to living here in Ponyville. If you want to try and get it White Claw, will wait for you," I said

"Thanks." Said White

She got up and went to the front counter. She ringed the bell, and Mrs. Cake came walking out. White Claw seemed to talk to Mrs. Cake for a little while. Then Mrs. Cake took her to the back. I smiled as I looked back at Chi.

"You worried for White Claw," I said

"Yes, I've grown close to White Claw since we first meet." Said Chi

"Hey, no worries Chi, Ponyville is a peaceful place. Nopony is going to hurt you here, and if they do. You just tell me, and I'll deal with them," I said

"Thank you, Xavier." She said

"No problem," I said

After thirty minutes, White Claw came back to us.

"How did it go?" I asked

"I got the job." Said White

"Congrats White Claw," I said

"Yeah, hey, Chi," Chi looked at White Claw. "Mrs. Cake is still looking for one more pony to help around the shop. Why not give it a shot? Wouldn't it be fun to work together." Said White

"Give it a try, Chi," I said

"I guess I can give it a try." Said Chi

"That's the spirit." Said White

Chi walked up to the front and talked to Mrs. Cake as White Claw sat down and began to eat. Mrs. Cake lead Chi to the back just like she did White Claw. Then while we were waiting for Chi, Pinkie bounced over and gave me a piece of paper. I opened it and read the contents and then pocketed it.

"What's that?" Asked White

"Oh, Pinkie just wanted to remind me to come here and pick something up, later on, tonight," I said

"Ok." Said White

We waited a little longer, and in that time I had a small conversation with White Claw. After the same thirty minutes, Chi came back.

"Did you get it, Chi?" Asked White

"Yes." Said Chi

"Great, so when do you two start?" I asked

"Next Monday." Said Chi

"Well, I think you girl will like it here. The Cakes are a sweet couple and have a pair of cute twins. Pinkie can be crazy at times, but she's just a bundle of fun," I said

The girls nodded and finished their food before we were off again.

***

Well, to keep thing short and sweet, I showed them the rest of Ponyville. I showed them Fluttershy's place, and White Claw seemed to enjoy all the animals that Fluttershy had at her cottage. Chi kept away from most but did enjoy the bunnies, well after they got used to her. Strange to think the animals immediately took to White Claw, but bunnies had to warm up to Chi. I shrugged as animals were weird. But we didn't stay long as Fluttershy had a class to get to, so we left. She told Chi and White Claw to come by anytime.

Next, we stopped at Sweet Apple Archers. Applejack was harvesting apples with her brother when we came down. Chi and White Claw found the rows and rows of apple trees amazing. Applejack told them to have an apple from the trees. They each picked an apple and enjoyed the taste. Applejack answered some of their questions, but I could see Chi and White Claw would eye Big Mac from time to time. Now it wasn't like how a shy mare would eye a stallion they liked. No this was a cautioning look. They were doing to every stallion they that passed them, or we stopped to talk to, today. I knew it came from the fact that the only male contact was through slavery, so they were cautious of males. I don't blame them. But Mac didn't do anything to unsettle them, so everything went fine. We said goodbye to Applejack and Big Mac as we walked away.

We stopped in a few shops, stopping at Bon Bon's candy store to get a few sweets. Bon Bon made the best lemon drops I ever tasted. I also introduced Lyra and Bon Bon to Chi and White Claw. After we had left Bon Bon and Lyra, we ran into Rainbow clearing the skies. She came down and of course talked me about wanting to train some more. I told her when I was open, and she flew away. I then told White Claw and Chi that I was teaching Rainbow in my fighting style. We then went back to touring Ponyville.

The sun was starting to set as we began to make our way back to Sugar Cube Corner. We returned to the library to drop off the bags from the shopping White Claw, and Chi did. I gathered up my brother as we made back to Sugar Cube Corner.

"I don't understand why we have to come with you to pick up this item from Sugar Cube Corner." Said Chi

"Well, Pinkie did make it for you two. I just want to ensure you two like it," I said

"Really." Said White Claw

"Really," I said

We reached Sugar Cube Corner, and I opened the door and led them in and closed the door.

"Why is it dark?" Asked Chi

"SURPRISE!"

Soon the lights came on, and Chi and White Claw saw everypony they meet today was in the store. Decorations and banners were up all around the place.

"What's this?" Asked White Claw

"It's your 'Welcome to Ponyville and happy freedom party.'" Said Pinkie

"Pinkie always throws a party for new residents of Ponyville," I said

"She threw one for us as well." Said Flame

"So you two like?" Asked Pinkie

"Like, I love it. I've never had a party before." Said White Claw

"Yes." Said Chi

"Then enough chit chat, let's party." Said Pinkie

Vinyl began to play music as Chi and White Claw got into the party.

"You know brother. I think they'll fit in nicely here." Said Flame

"Yeah," I said

Flame jumped off my shoulder, and we both got into the party as the sun began to set on the first perfect day of Chi and White Claw's new life here in Ponyville.
