A week has passed just like that. I went walking about Canterlot looking for any jobs I could do. It seems nopony wants a beast that has the attention span of an almost 4 year old. I decided to move to Ponyville so I can look for a job. I first tried as an animal care helper, but the bunnies got scared fast. I then tried as an apple picked, but Apple jack wants fresh apples, not apple fries. I had no luck at Candy Corner, because I ate a lot of the cakes. And don’t get me started with Rarity or Rainbow Dash. I finally tried at the library, which was a success! I could carry the books and not harm them, and I could help Twilight out with a lot of her research since I read every book in the royal library, twice. 

So time went on, I spent most of my times outdoors doing research on animals, life habits, and even plant life. Being outdoors was wonderful. When I came inside, I deposited any notes I had, along with specimen that Twilight needed. Yes it felt wonderful. And with my 4th birthday coming up, I was saving up for a nice hat and vest to wear out doors. I made 5 bits a day, and not to mention rooming and meals. I am getting a discount from Rarity because I ran errands for her, not because I like her, just so I can stay outside. 

I heard Twilight writing something down way late in the night. I heard, “ok, I need to get this, and that, and Applejack needs to bring this…” I ignored it. It was probably nothing. Within a few weeks I knew my birthday was coming up, and I know it would be so awesome.
