I woke up the next day better rested then I thought, I yawned and got out of my bed. At first I didn't remember much, for a split second I even forgot about being a pony, but eventually everything came back. Then the Russian’s voice came back. Just in time for me to trip over a random bucket

"Good morning Vespi! Sleep well? Just wanted to tell you the cutie mark Protocol K4F4Z1 is activated it took me a little bit to go through all my old notes but I found it." The Russian said did the guy even go to bed?

"Okay, just 2 questions I have now" I said "1. What happened to leaving us alone? And 2; what is a cutie mark?

"Sorry, sorry I just wanted to tell you this so when you see a picture on your flank you don't go asking ponies what it is making an ass of yourself" He got me there "A cutie mark is a picture on a ponies flank, when a girl or guy gets 1 it is considered a step into adulthood. The cutie mark is always a picture of a pony’s passion in life; it can be anything, a baseball, pie, and shotgun. It basically shows what the pony will grow up to be."

"I see, so about leaving me alone" Why so serious you ask? I don’t want some random Russian scientist looking at me 24/7.

"Okay seems fair enough, this isn't communist Russia anymore. I'll leave you to be when you are doing whatever this generation does, what would that be? Drinking? Partying? Cursing? I don’t care.”

"Eyup" I said, moving towards the mirror to check out my new cutie mark.

Frankly I liked it, but it wasn't exactly that creative. It was a red V with a white background, the cutie mark (Fortunately) was in perfect harmony with my body coloring.

"Very creative" I said, hoping the Russian was there to respond

"I can't control it, why? Were you expecting a giant wang or something?" This Russian was a true child at heart; and now you know what I meant from before.

"Okay then, I have to go, good luck working on the dilemma"

"I'll keep you informed; Drunken Russian over and out!"

I wasn't about to forget my meeting with my friends just over a cutie mark. I tossed the old knapsack over my back and headed towards the Ponyville Plaza. When I was only a block away I heard some pony clear their voice and tap me on the shoulder. I turned around to see a white unicorn with a beautiful purple mane and tail. Her eyes looked like two priceless diamonds gleaming in the sunlight.

"Hello there I apologize on interrupting you, but I couldn't help but notice your beautiful knapsack. Me being a stranger and all, do you mind if I was to purchase this bag?" She said,

This knapsack wasn't exactly beautiful. It looked old and beat up; it looked as though that Russian had used it during his time in the red army, or in the KGB or whatever. Then again it’s not like I’m going to be using it for anything special.

"Sure I don't mind" Let’s see where this goes I thought.

"Marvelous! This will be perfect for a new outfit I am forming. How much would you like for it?"

"I think 25 would do or 15 and your name" Flirting was something that was never very hard for me; I guess that's why all my friends told me I have a golden tongue, and that I should be a diplomat.

The beautiful pony giggled "Rarity and that seems like a perfect price. I'll be right back, I just need to get some money from my boutique, it is right next door, stay right here please!" She went running off into a small store, before the door even closed she came running out again. Bag of money in hand

"Here you go" I said handing her the knapsack.

"Thank you, not that it’s any of my business but are you new in town?"

"Yup me and my friends just moved here" I’m obviously not going to tell her from where.

"Really?" She said with a small smirk "Then I guess Pinkie Pie will have to give you guys a house warming party, you have a house now right?"

Crap "Actually no, we came here on an impulse, but we will get one, wait who is Pinkie Pie?"

"Pinkie Pie is that giggly earth pony that is always bouncing around, giving the newcomers house parties, making cupcakes, that kind of stuff. If you were to get a house I’d advise you just take the old Calibri house. He passed away 6 months ago, the mayor has the deed though, if you can help her out a little bit I’m sure you can get the deed though." She gave me a small smile “maybe I would be able to see you a lot more then”

Perfect, I’ll do something for the mayor (Or if it comes to that peer pressure Dan into doing it) take the deed and wait for everything to work out.

"Great! I'm running late for a meeting now, but I’ll have to talk to you again!" I said with a smile, planning everything out in my head.

"Great!" she said it with the exact amount of enthusiasm has me "I can't wait for your house warming party, thanks to Pinkie Pie there always nice parties" She gave me a wink and we both shared a laugh.

"Sounds great, see you soon then!"

She began walking back into her store; the second the door shut I heard the obnoxious cheering (possibly jeering)from none other than my friends

"Yea buddy!" they all screamed out in unison before I could even turn around.

A little part of jersey everywhere.

"Yea buddy!"

"Yea buddy!"

"Yea Buddy!"

"Alright guys you have been saying yea buddy for 15 minutes now, I think I get the picture" I said, it actually was 15 minutes, for the last 5 minutes I thought I was turning schizophrenic.

"Sorry, but anyways last time, yea buddy!" Conor said hooves rose in happiness.

I looked down and noticed all of their cutie marks; it seems the Russian had all talked to them about the cutie marks as well. Dan's was a basketball, Tyler had an American flag, Conor had a brownie (???), Michael had a silver star, and Nico had a raven. Lucky bastards, all of their cutie marks were more creative than mine, but the only 2 I really understood was basketball playing Dan and republican Tyler.

"So guys how was sleeping in the woods like?" I asked

"Pretty good, Dan stabbed a hobo pony but other than that just dandy" Mike said with a wide awake smile.

"Bastard had it coming, he barfed all over my cash" Dan said in his own defense; showing a bag of cash drenched in sickly green barf

"Not really, he just asked if you could spare some change" Conor said, Conor was always telling the truth.

"Alright guys I have a plan on how we can get a house without paying for anything, if any of you were listening it seems the mayor has a deed to a house in Ponyville we do something for her and we get the deed in return. Sounds good?"

"Not It!"

"Not It!"

"Not It!"

"Not it!"

"Not it!" I said, not this game

"Wait what? GOD DAMMIT!" Nico said, note to viewers: Only phase out when you can't possibly screw up.

"Well let’s see what she wants us to do before we play this game" I said, everyone nodded.

We began walking towards the mayor’s office in Ponyville. It was a nice large structure, made out of wood like all the other buildings, with some stone that formed a beautifully maintained courtyard. We walked straight into the mayor’s office, she was an elderly women sitting next to a desk full with papers; her small glasses submerged into a book of the town’s progress this year probably.

"Hey hello there we were curious if there was any way we could get the deed to the Calibri house, anything you need done?" I said

""Hmmmm” the old pony said "You wouldn't happen to know anything about espionage do you?"

"Sorry we don’t speak Spanish" I said, espionage is Spanish right? Then it hit me; do they even Have Spain here in Equestria?

"I see I’m sorry then there’s nothing else I need done" She said in a sad voice.

"Welllllll" Mike Hoppe said, let’s see what he has "Dan is kind of into you..."

"MIKE FUCK YOU!" Dan said; I bit my lip until it nearly bled trying to stop from laughing, if no one laughed this might actually work.

"You don't say?" The mayor was now looking at Dan with a lusty look.

***

We sat outside patiently for a while; from inside we could hear the two whispering. Eventually we heard Dan say

“Wait what? No fuck no! NOO!”

Then we heard a punch thrown, a crash, and finally muffled screaming … poor bastard

We waited outside for a good 20 minutes, then Dan walked out with the deed in his hand. Before he even said a word he walked over to mike and kicked him right in-between the eyes with surprising precision. Even though Mike was now on the ground he was still laughing so hard I thought he would explode. We all began laughing so long that Dan finally broke down and began to laugh too.

"Thanks for taking the hit buddy" Mike said with a slap on the back.

Dan got serious again "You owe me Mike, you seriously owe me."

"Alright man! Trust me! You have the deed and keys and everything?" Mike asked

"Yea everything is here, excuse me." Dan ran over to the restroom and we all heard several barfing noises before Dan walked outside.

"Weird, I swear to god the next time I am doing that is with someone I WANT TO DO IT WITH!" Dan said hyper ventilating; let’s pray to god doing the mayor of Ponyville didn't scar him too much.

"Alright guys let's kill the conversation and get back to the house, im sure Dan will need to sit on a doughnut."

And everyone began laughing fanatically again.

"So how was it?" Tyler asked, we were seriously still laughing
