//------------------------------// // New beginings Pt 2 // Story: New Fairy Tail // by Marina Stars //------------------------------// Somewhere in Manehattan there was a little white unicorn mare wandering the streets. She had woken up in an alley a few hours ago and had remembered nothing from the night before or how she had gotten there, she must have had some memory loss or something... at least that's what she thought. She had no idea where she was and had tried to ask the ponies where she was but they couldn't spare two seconds to answer her simple little question. She tried to talk to every pony she passed but they all glared at her, yelled at her, or just plain ignored her. She tried to make a few more attempts. "Oh excuse me sir," Rarity called as she walked up to a stallion. "Could you be so kind as to..." she began before she was cut off. "Get Lost!" He yelled at her before turning away to stare at... something. Rarity really hated all of the ponies who were mean in this town. All the ponies she tried to talk to. She attempted a few more but they all ended similarly. Eventually she gave up and sat on a curb staring off into space as it began to rain. Most ponies ran for cover but she, even though she really hates getting dirty and wet, stayed and sat in the rain. She began to cry a little as well because she was very young but none was kind to her. It was pretty loud with her sobs and the pouring rain and she didn't hear the sound of approaching hoof-steps. "Uh excuse me miss?" A somewhat shy feminine voice said from behind her. Rarity turned around and looked at the pony who was behind her and she saw a light yellow earth pony, who looked about age as Rarity, with a short teal mane, teal eyes, with a red white and purple flower in her mane a purple and white collar with a red sash around her neck and a purple hat with a red feather as her cutie mark. "Yes?" Rarity asked "Well um, I see you sitting in the rain and I was wondering if maybe you would like to come to my apartment for a little till' the rain stops?" The young mare offered "Uh, sure." Rarity said with a smile. This pony was being nice to her! That's a first, at least today it was. "Great come on we don't want to catch colds." The yellow earth pony said as she helped Rarity up. "I'm Coco Pommel by the way." "Nice to meet you Coco, I'm Rarity." The white unicorn introduced herself. Coco smiled sweetly "Nice to meet you too Rarity." She said as they began walking. "Hey Coco?" Rarity said "Yah Rarity?" She looked at the white unicorn ready to answer the question Rarity might ask. "I was just wondering, where are we?" Rarity asked a bit nervously "What do you mean?" Coco asked with confusion "I mean what is the name of this city?" Rarity clarified "Oh, well we are in Manehattan." The yellow earth pony informed her. "Oh okay." Rarity nodded "Hey just wondering, why are most ponies here so mean?" Rarity asked "Well I don't really know. They just are, most of them say 'Its every pony for themselves in this town' but I don't think it really is that way." Coco sighed Rarity nodded in understanding. "So just wondering, what kind of things do you like to do?" Rarity asked "Well I make clothes a lot. I used to work for this pony named Suri Polomare but she was really mean and harsh so I quit, and I've been looking for a new job lately. One were I can make clothes without a horrible boss." Cocc answered with a little giggle at the end. "What do you like to do?" "Well I also design clothes and I guess I need to look for a job here if I am going to stay." Rarity answered "Well I guess we can look for jobs together." Coco smiled. By then they were in front of some apartment buildings and they were soaking wet from the rain. "Well we are almost to my apartment so let's hurry and get warmed up." Coco said as she began to walk up some stairs, Rarity following closely behind. When they got to the top they turned left. As Rarity turned the corner she bumped into someone or something. "Oh I am so sorry about that." A male voice apologized. Somepony held out a hoof and helped Rarity up. Then Rarity saw who she had bumped into, he was a white unicorn stallion with blue eyes and a smooth blue mane, and his cutie mark was three little crowns. "Oh it's my fault. I should have been looking where I was going" She chuckled nervously. "No it's my fault really. And I am very sorry for knocking you over." He apologised again while taking her hoof. "Eh, we are both to blame." Rarity waved it off. "I'm Rarity just so you know." She introduced herself "Well it's a pleasure to meet you, Miss Rarity." He said as he kissed her hoof causing Rarity to giggle a little. "I am Fancy Pants." He introduced himself with a bow. "Nice to meet you too." Rarity agreed. "Hate to break up your conversation." Coco interrupted, "But I am kind of on a tight schedule, I have a job interview in about half an hour." Coco explained "What kind of job are you looking for?" Fancy pants asked "Well anything with sewing or designing clothes." Coco answered. "Me too." Rarity added "Oh really? Because I own a company and we need more designers and seamstresses, and maybe you mares would like to come work there." Fancy pants explained "Really!" Both girls squeaked at the same time Coco for the excitement of finally getting a job and Rarity from excitement of working for such a kind handsome stallion. "Of course. I would love to have such lovely young mares work at my company." Fancy Pants smiled genuinely. Rarity and Coco giggled from being called 'lovely'. "Well I know I'd love to work at your company" Rarity smiled happily "I thinkI'd enjoy it as well." Coco stated. "Fabulous!" Fancy Pants smiled "We can meet up tomorrow, and I will take you there, and show you around." "Okay" Both Mares said simultaneously with big smiles on their faces. "Great. I'll see you both tomorrow." Fancy Pants smiled as he walked away Both mares waited till the charming stallion was out of ear shot before they both let out exited squeals. "Oh my goodness he was so charming." Rarity swooned. "Well that doesn't happen often" Coco observed. "What doesn't happen often?" Rarity asked in confusion "Meeting a gentle colt in Manehattan" Coco explained. Rarity nodded in understanding. "That makes sense." "Yah, well we should get to my apartment." Coco said as she began to walk, Rarity quickly followed behind her. After walking for a minute Coco stopped at a door and unlocked it. Both of them went in. The front room was pretty small. It had a small couch in the middle of the room with a small table in front of it and a fireplace in front of it. On the left side of the room there was a small writing desk and a doorway leading to the kitchen. On the right there were some doorways leading separate smaller rooms. "Go ahead and make yourself comfortable." Coco smiled as she walked into the kitchen. Rarity sat on the couch and watched the fire for a little while until Coco came back in after about fifteen minutes. "I made some cocoa for us." Coco smiled as she set a tray with two glass mugs full of hot chocolate. "Oh this looks divine. Thank you darling." Rarity said as she levitated one of the cups. "I just thought we could have something warm since we got wet and cold in the rain." Coco smiled and they both drank their hot chocolate. And not too far from Manehattan, in the city of Fillydelphia, there was an orange colt with a poofy brown mane and green eyes, leaving the city. He had been traveling from city to city trying to find a place where he would be able to fit in, but so far he was unsuccessful. He walked down the road leading out of the city when he saw an unconscious pink mare with a poofy darker pink mane and balloons as her cutie mark. Something about this filly interested him in a way so he sat near her and waited to see if she would wake up. Pinkie was hurting all over, she had a severe headache and she felt like she had fallen from the sky. She groaned as she slowly stood up with her eyes half open. As she struggled to stand she felt a hoof grab hers and helped her stand up. She fully opened her eyes and saw the colt in front of her. He slowly let go of her hoof and looked down at the ground. "H-hi" He said shyly "Hi!" Pinkie replied with a bright smile "I'm Pinkie Pie! What's your name?" "I-I'm C-cheese Sandwich." He said while still looking at the ground "Oh, I like that name!" Pinkie beamed "T-thanks." He said quietly. "You don't say much do you?" She asked. "I'm just a little shy." He answered "You don't need to be shy around me! We can be friends!" Pinkie beamed happily. "Really?" He asked as he finally looked looked up from the ground Pinkie nodded "Yah! And we can throw parties and have fun together!" Pinkie exclaimed as she jumped up and down "Parties?" Cheese questioned. He had heard of 'parties' before but he had never actually been to one; he was so shy that nopony, except Pinkie, even knew his name. "You've never been to a party before?" Pinkie asked with a slightly sad expression on her face "No." He said sadly "Well then we need to change that!" Pinkie said as she grabbed his hoof "By the way, where are we?" She asked as she pulled him towards the city. "Fillydelphia" Was his answer "Oh, okay!" She said "What are you doing?" He asked as Pinkie continued to pull him through the city. "I am going to show you what a party is like!" She smiled, her enthusiasm very clear. "Oh, okay." He said as he followed her. A few hours later there was a party happening just outside of the city. Pinkie had managed to set one up really fast and some of the ponies who lived in filly had come to see what it was like. Cheese watched all the ponies playing and dancing and having a good time. "Are you having fun?" Pinkie asked excitedly "The most fun I've ever had!" Cheese grinned happily then gave his new friend a hug. "Thank you Pinkie." "No problem. I just love, love, love to throw parties!" She replied, still smiling. "You know I was thinking?" Cheese said a bit nervously "Yes?" Pinkie listened, wanting to hear what he wanted to say. "Well, I bet there are a lot of ponies in equestrian who have never experienced the joy of a party. So maybe we could travel equestrian together throwing parties and spreading happiness." Pinkie gasped "Oh my gosh! That is an amazing idea!" "Really?" He asked excitedly. "Heck yeah! We should totally do that!" Pinkie continued to smile which made cheese smile as well. "Great!" We should start tomorrow! We will be the premier party planners of all Equestria!" Cheese said happily. He felt like in the short time he had known pinkie she had helped him overcome his shyness and helped him have fun and he wanted to be able to spend more time with this amazing filly. "Deal!" Pinkie said as they hoof bumped. Then the two of them went and partied hard for the rest of the day. In the great city of Canterlot, inside the castle Bon Bon was taking care of the filly she had been given to take care of. Fluttershy had been surprisingly easy to take care of so far. The Pegasus hardly fussed or cried, she was very quiet and basically no trouble at all. Hiding the truth from her wouldn't be too hard, she could easily pretend that she was Fluttershy's mother. After all they both had similar yellow coats and Fluttershy's mane was pink like Bon Bon's and their eyes were somewhat similar. Hers were blue while Fluttershy's were teal, it wouldn't be that hard but she would definitely feel guilty for it for the rest of her life. Such an innocent creature should have a better life than as a servant, and who knows what Discord would make the filly do when she grew up. He would most likely make her do the hardest things and work her to death. She could only hope Discord wouldn't do that to the princess. Bon Bon's attention was drawn to the filly as she whimpered softly as if to say she was hungry. Bon Bon quickly got the little princess a warm bottle of milk which she ate happily. "Raising you won't be too much of a challenge." Bon Bon quietly said to the filly. Fluttershy giggled as she finished her bottle. Then Bon Bon picked up the filly and burped her then laid her back down in her cradle where she fell asleep with a small smile on her face
