The train stopped, took it long enough. I grabbed my things and headed for the exit. The sun was bright in this farmtown. All right, first stop town hall so I can get a house.

I started in to town. After a bit of searching I found town hall. I walked up to the resepstion desk and rang the bell. After, say about a minute, a mare finally walked up.

"Hello sir. How may I help you?" she asked.

"I would like to buy a house." I told her.

"Oh! A new resident. Oh yes there are a few houses open, but before you check them out I need you to fill out this form." She gave me a piece of paper. "I'm FrontDesk by the way."

"Nice ta meet ya FrontDesk. Name's Fire Heart."

"Fire Heart? Interesting." She gave me a wondering look. "If you don't mind me asking Mr. Heart, but why are you wearing sunglasses indoors?" She looked at my dark red shades.

"Oh these. I have an eye condition, where any light hurts them, so I keep my sunglasses on." I went over to a chair and filled out the form.

Let's see. Name, Fire Heart. Age, 28. Sex, stallion. Race, it gave three choices, earth, unicorn, or pegasus. Well then, earth I suppose. Last resident of, Wilmare, Koltucky. Pets, Jackalope. I looked up, as I felt something move on my head. I took my stetson off, revealing a small, brown, bunny like animal. She was awake, great.

"Mornin' Jackie," I said, as she jumped of my head and into the chair next to me. A few ponies around looked at her, guess they never seen a jackalope before.

"Mommie! Mommie! Look, that bunnie has horns," a filly said as she and her mother walked by. "Can I pet her, mister?"

"Petal!" Her mother wasn't happy. "I'm sorry sir."

"No. No. Its fine, she can pet her." I looked at Petal as see stroked Jackie. "Her name is Jackie, she's a jackalope."

"She's pretty." Petal gave a smile that could melt King Sombra's heart.

"Come along now Petal. We don't want to be late," her mother said.

"Yes Mommie." she started to walk away the she turn. "See you around mister."

I waved as they walked away then looked down at Jackie. "We've been here no less then 45 minutes and we've already drawn attention to our selfs. The exact opposite of why we came here." I got up and motioned for Jackie to jump on my back. I walked back up to the resepstion desk.

"Here you go." I handed FrontDesk the papers.

"Great." She rang a bell. "Corona will show you the open houses. Just wait a minute for her." I stood there for a moment when suddenly a beautiful mare came out from the back. Her coat was green, her mane was beautiful orange and red. Her Cutie mark was a beer bottle that said Corona on it with a lime sticking out the top. She was gorgeous.

The large stallion stared at me dumb-founded. He quickly shook it off.

"Hi! I'm Corona." I held out my hoof.

"Fire Heart." He shook my hoof nervously. His dark red sunglasses hid his eyes. He was fairly muscular. His dark blue coat suited him. His mane and tail were brown with black streaks in them. He had a small brown gotee. His hoofs were white. He did look fairly handsome.

"I'll be giving you the tour of the town and showing you the open houses."

"Great."

"Well lets get going." I walked out of town hall, he followed behind me. "So what kind of house are you looking for?"

"Something with some privacy."

"So the stallion has his secrets?"

He gave me a funny look, "Yes, I suppose. But don't we all?"

"Yeah. So where you from?"

"Koltucky."

"What brings you to Hoofsville?"

"Home got old."

We stopped in front of the school. "Here is the school." It was recess. I looked and saw a small grey unicorn sitting alone. "See that little unicorn with the glasses." Fire looked.

"Yes."

"That's my son, Bud Light." I saw a sadness flash on Fire's face. "He never really took the divorce well." We started walking again.

"Divorce?" Fire looked happy and sad at the same time.

"Oh, look at me going on about myself." I blushed.

"No it's fine. I need to learn about the ponies in this town anyway." He put on a cheesy smile.

"Oh ok. I run the local bar. That something?"

"The barsmare gives the tours? I guess that's how you convince ponies to stay."

"Haha. No I'm giving the tours to get some extra bits. Bud is very interested in magic and he wants to go to Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns. He wants to use his magic for more then making cocktails like me. His father puts in some of his paycheck too, but times are hard."

"Well, I'm sure things will work out for you. What's you ex-husband's job?"

"He's the chief of police around her, but how quite it is nothing happens for him to do."

"Must be good at his job then, criminal too scared to try anything."

I started laughing. "No, they're probably more scared of the deputy, my brother Ol' Red."

"Ol' Red, soud threatening." He joked.

"Yes it is." A deep voice said behind him cause Fire to jump.

"Hey Red."

"Hey sis. This guy moving in?" The large red stallion said.

"Yes, his getting the tour."

"K." He turned to Fire and held out his hoof. "I'm Ol' Red, the not so threatening police officer."

Fire Heart shock his hoof. "Fire Heart. Nice to meet ya."

"Well I got to get going. Giving a D.A.R.E. speech at the school. Ha! Oh most seems hypocritical to give Bud that speel. See you around." He walked away.

"Well then, he is big." Fire said. "What's next?"

"Well." We walked about further. "This is the Bar. You'll find me here most of the time."

"Cool."

"You said you wanted a house with privacy right? Well all the houses won't be too private, but there is one. Come on."

Corona ran ahead. I tried to keep up, but damn she's fast. We stopped at a house just outside of town. "This is the most private house in town and it's for sale."

I opened the door and went in. It was a nice two story house. Jackie jumped off my back and ran around, she liked it.

"What is the little thing's name?"

"Jackie." I looked at Jackie. "Well fuzz-ball, what do you think?" She gave a nod. "I'll take it."

"You sure? There are more houses."

"I'm sure."

"Well than you just have to tell FrontDesk and then the rest is up to you with the house. I got to go, bar opens in a few hours."

"Bye. Thanks for the tour."

"Don't mention it. See ya." She walked out the door.

I went back to town hall and bought the house. That night I stood in the bath room staring at the mirror. "Well Jackie lets not fuck it up. I stay a secret and nothing bad happens." I stared into my dark purple dragon eyes.
