//------------------------------// // Now To Find A Place To Live // Story: Over-Powered Shapeshifter. "At Least I'm Not A Mary Sue." // by Taken-By-Insanity //------------------------------// After walking for about fifteen minutes I arrived at the edge of Ponyville. While I was walking I was listening to, in my point of view, a pretty good song called Entropy. When I got to the town square I heard a long gasp, when I turned around I saw the one and only Pinkie Pie. Next thing I knew she was right in front of me and said in hyperspeed without pausing, "Hi my name is Pinkie Pie, what's yours, whats your favorite flavor of cake, what's your favorite color, and do you like parties?" After she said that I responded in the same speed she spoke with, "Hello Pinkie my name is Shade, my favorite flavor is chocolate, my favorite colors are grey, black, and dark red, as in really dark red, and yes I like parties." When I looked behind Pinkie Pie I saw that the other Elements of Harmony were there as well with slack-jawed expressions, probably by how fast I can talk. "Hello, how are you?" I said after snapping, which made their shock go away. "Oh well we're fine, but I am surprised you can keep up with Pinkie Pie of all ponies," Twilight responded who is an alicorn, huh good to know. "Oh trust me I don't make sense a lot of the time," I said behind them, surprising all of them. [Pissst readers if you want to know what they're wearing look here https://annemovies.deviantart.com/art/Mane-6-Equestria-Girls-510623966] "How did ya do that," asked Applejack. I gasped "Oh how rude of me I forgot to introduce myself, my name's Shade, what's yours other than Pinkie since I already know her from our conversation earlier." After they five out of six introduced themselves a boulder fell on me. The six gasped and Derpy yelled from up above "Sorry again." I simply walked out of the boulder like it was air making the six sigh in relief and gasp again when the info reached their heads. To be honest, their fear and surprise taste kinda good. "Helloooo are you alright?" I asked. The six shook themselves out of the daze while I was putting the boulder back in the bag that Derpy was holding it with. "Do you need any help with that?" I asked her. She responded with "No, but thanks for the offer." "How did you walk through that boulder like it wasn't there!" Twilight demanded after I turned back to the six. My response was stupid but true, "I just did it." "That doesn't exactly answer it ya know," said Rainbow. "Oh Dash, it's the only way I can explain it. It's one of my talents to be ghostly," was my response. Then something strange happened. My neck snapped by jerking it to the right and then I giggled and laughed the way a psycho does and my neck jerked again and I was back to normal. "Well that was slightly strange of me, sorry if I startled any of you," I said. When all I got was silence I said, "I should probably get going now...bye." I walked down the road and pulled out a book. The book was an average one titled 'How To Do Something.' I opened it and said, "How to purchase a house please." And the blank pages were then covered with gibberish to others but to me, it just said 'Go to town hall and talk to the secretary, she will help you with the process and explain it.' After I read that I closed the book and watched it as it faded from reality. Luckily I was already heading for town hall so I went in, walked to the desk and waited until the secretary noticed me who was a tan-coated pegasus mare with a dark blue mane and tail along with sea green eyes, she is also wearing a blue suit, black pants and a white tie which is a unique outfit in my point of view. "Oh sorry I was caught up in my work, how can I help you?" "Well I was hoping that you could help me with getting a house or just some property to own since I'm new in town and was hoping to live here," was my response. Her reaction was, "Oh well there currently aren't any houses sadly but we have some property nearby the Everfree Forest, are you interested by any chance?" "Yes I am very interested, also I am not familiar with this so can you explain how this works for me," was what I said. "Oh, well you just need to pay for the property or house and sign a few papers along with filling the blanks so we can basically get the jazz of who you are," was her response to my question while giving me a small stack of papers. "Also the property will be two hundred bits," she added. I gave her a bag of bits with the right amount of them inside while I am signing the papers after reading them. Since paperwork is always boring I'll just give you what I put in for the info. I am currently twenty-two years old, my birthplace was in Griffin Stone (Which is technically true to so shush), I have no living relatives as far as I know, and my talent is mirroring someone's actions and character. "Now just let me look over the papers and we will continue the process," she said after I gave her back the papers. When she saw the part of relatives she got sad and said she was sorry for my lost and I said it was a long time ago so it's okay. She was also intrigued about the part of coming from Griffin Stone, I could tell because I sense emotions and surprise tastes sweet. "Okay so now that that's done, the property is fenced off and is across from Fluttershy's cottage by the edge of the Everfree, have a nice day," is what came out of her mouth after she read through all the papers. "Okay, thank you, and you have a nice day as well," I responded. After Walking Back To The Edge Of The Everfree Forest When I got back I saw the fenced off area to my right with a mailbox by a gate in the middle of the fence facing Fluttershy's. How did I not notice that earlier?I asked in my head. "Right now is there anyone within eyesight?" I asked my self out loud. After doing a magic pulse I found out that no one is anywhere near here at the moment. "Good now for the house," I said in a happy tone. After snapping my right hand a dark themed house appeared in a flash of black, it has the same shape as Fluttershy's cottage but darker and red flowers along with some poison joke by the fences. It also has an aura that says to not enter or there would be consequences to others but not to me unless I invite someone in. After I did that I sighed at how good my work looks, at least to me. "Now to the inside I go," I said in a sing-song voice. To The Girls In Third Person "Twi are ya alright," AJ asked Twilight. "Yea I'm fine AJ, It's just that I can't get that pony out of my head," was her response. "I know what you mean Twi, she was very strange and didn't make a lot of sense," joined in Rainbow Dash. "I can't either she just seems so strange and she kinda scared me when she laughed like that," Fluttershy brought in the conversation. "I agree," said Rarity along with Pinkie. The girls were walking back from the train station after a trip from Manehattan when they encountered the anomaly known as Shade. Pinkie gasped out of know where. "What's wrong Pinkie dear?" asked Rarity. "I forgot I need to plan her 'Welcome To Ponyville' party and she has already moved into a house, sorry gotta go," was Pinkie's response, going really fast at the end. The remaining five just shook their heads and said: "Just Pinkie being Pinkie." Back To Me "Well, now that I'm done with the inside what should I do," I asked myself. Perhaps take a walk and see what happens. "Good idea Van," I replied to the Author that is me. (It's a self-insert so it's obviously me that was talking.)
