------7 Days Before------
“That was a rather interesting trip, i think i'll write it all down later"
Minoky said to herself as she reached a crossroads.
“Hmm, Ponyville....Ponyville....Aha there it is”
she said pointing her hoof at the signpost on the roadside.
“Two miles that way, shouldn't take me too long to get there”
She turned right and trotted down the dirt road, humming to herself.
Two miles and one grumbling stomach later she reached the little bridge that lead into Ponyville.
“Thank Celestia i’m here, my stomach is driving me crazy and this harness is starting to chafe”
As she crossed the bridge, she saw a bustling little town. There were many ponies, all brighlty coloured, going about their daily life.
The smell of freshly baked treats wafted past her nose on the breeze, her stomach let out a loud growl.
“That does it!” she exclamined
“Food first, place to stay next”
As she wandered round the various stalls and displays, a few ponies stopped whatever they were doing and stared at the newcomer as she passed by, afew commenting on her unique appearance.
*****At this point i’ll say why they were staring.
As i mentioned before shes an Alicorn with a difference, that difference is that she has some unique markings and colours on her body, that make her look like a tiger
*********
“I dont mind the attention, but the staring just creeps me out”
she said under her breath as she trotted round the various stalls.
‘Growl’
“OK,OK, I’m getting some food”
she said to her stomach.
She spied a small, brightly coloured stall set up near the fountain in the centre of town, selling what looked like every type of apple treat there is.
“That’ll do me”
she said as she trotted over to the stall.
The mare behind the stall saw her heading her way and gave her a friendly smile.
Minoky was right, there was every apple-based food you could think of and some she didnt know existed.
“Howdy stranger” said the orange mare
“Whats ya’ fancinin’”
“Hmm, not sure they all look good”
Minoky said as she looked over the stall.
Minoky glanced up at her, noticing her bonde maine was tied back in a big pony-tail (lol) that matched her tail, she also wore one of those stetson hats, that looked like had seen better days.
“Well we got every apple treat ya’ll can think of, fritters to pies, candied, toffee’d, ya’ll name it’ll most likely be here” Said the orange mare.
At the sound of this Minoky’s stomach let out a growl that both of them heard.
The mare behind the stall gigled, Minoky blushed slightly.
“Sounds t’me someones a might hungry”
“Sure am, I’ll take two apple fritters, a small apple and cinamon pie” She said
“And a dozen red apples too”
“No prolbem” She replied, placing the items into a bag.
“That’ll be 8 bits”
“Thanks” Minoky said as she used her magic to float the bits from her cart and into a dish on the stall.
She moved the food into her cart, except for one apple, which she started eating.
“You would’nt happen to know where Fluttershy lives round her” Minoky asked the mare, after emptying her mouth.
“Sure do, shes a good friend o’ mine” She replied
“I’ll be happy ta show ya the way, when mah’ big oaf of a brother gets back”
Minoky finished the apple before repling.
“That’d be great.......erm”
“The names Applejack”
“Minoky”
“Nice ta meetcha’” Replied Applejack, moving round the stall and shaking Minokys right hoof furiously.
“Any friend of Fluttershy is ah friend of mine, an call me AJ, everypony else does”
“Thats nice to know” Minoky said, trying to stop her hoof from shaking
“You wouldn’t happen to know of anywhere round here i can stay for a few days?”
“Theres a billboard over near that cafe just round that there corner, may be somthing on there for ya”
“Thanks, i’ll go check it” Minoky replied
“Can i leave my cart with you while i go check, just need to get this harness of as its chafing a bit”
“Sure you can sugarcube” AJ motioned to a spot next to the stall
“park it there an i’ll keep mah eye on it for ya”
“Thanks” Minoky said as she pulled the cart to the spot and used her magic to remove the harness from her back and layed it on top of the cart. Then she removed the blanket, placed that on the cart too.
She walked back to AJ while giving her wings a good stretch, causing AJ to do a double take.
“Now dont that just beat all” She said
“Heres me thinking your were just a plain unicorn, not knowing ya’ll were hiding those fancy wings and markings under ya harness”
“Yeh it does surprise a few ponies” She replied flapping her wings a couple times, then settled them back by her sides.
“My mother was a weather pegasus and my father a powerfull unicorn”
“Ya’ll get on well with Twilight” AJ said
“Shes a rather powerfull unicorn”
“I’d like to meet here sometime, but for now i’m gonna go check that billboard” Minoky said.
“I’ll be back soon”
“I’ll be right here” AJ waved as she wandered to where AJ said.
