Ventura finishes eating and brings his plate over to the sink. While doing so he hears his new friend Sapphire yawn. He asks “So do you sleep during the day and wake up during the night or the other way around?”
“I go to sleep during the day and wake up at night time.” Sapphire responds.
“Okay, okay, so do you want to borrow my bed or something else?”
“Yeah I think I’ll borrow your bed for the day.”
Ventura goes back to his room and prepares his bed for the new friend. When finished he returns to the main room and hears a knock on the door. He quickly says “This is my friend, just try and hide your wings under the blanket.”
Ventura walks to the door and opens it for his guest. A purple unicorn going by the name of Amethyst Star trots lightly into the room carrying large amounts of paper work and other items with her magic. She sits down, smiles, and finally says while gesturing to Sapphire “who’s the new marefriend sleeping in the other chair, which I’m assuming you just picked up at the bar”
“What? Oh Sweet Celestia no! One, she’s not my marefriend and two, I didn’t pick her up at the bar, I don’t even go to the bar” Ventura responds.
“Well who is she then”
“Well that’s good, anyways here’s the plans for the town’s hearts and hooves day festival.”
He surveyed the folders until finally stating “I think if we have the dance move to here we could fit in horseshoe toss over here.”
Sapphire yawns in her sleep then rolls around in the chair exposing her bat-like wings. Amethyst Star gasps and declares “She’s a bat pony!”
“How could you allow a bat pony into your home! They are dangerous creatures from the forest, why would you make friends with one?” Amethyst shouts.
“She showed up in my house when I was sleeping, her wing is hurt and she was hungry, so I let her stay for a bit” He replies
“You are the weirdest pony I’ve ever met, also don’t you think your being too friendly to her?”
“No, I don’t, Equestria is built on friendship, I’ll give anyone a chance, it’s the same thing I told Sapphire.”
Sapphire wakes back up to the two ponies arguing, and it takes her a minute to realize their arguing about her. She sits up, yawns, and says “What’cha ponies talking about?”
“Amethyst here, was surprised that you were a bat pony and freaked out about my safety, as does a friend who cares.” Ventura answers
“Well this isn’t what I expected so I guess I’ll just go” says Amethyst while trotting out the door.
Sapphire moves over to the bed and goes to sleep again. Ventura goes to his office and works on the festival plans on his computer. When done working he goes out to the kitchen and makes some coffee to keep him up. Sapphire comes happily trotting out the door of the bedroom and states “Hello Ventura, what are you doing?”
“I was actually just planning the hearts and hooves day festival for the nearby town, that’s why Amethyst Star came here earlier” Ventura responds
“What’s hearts and hooves day?”
“It’s a day full of love and romance, basically you find someone you really like and do a bunch of romantic stuff with them.”
“That’s cool, I don’t think I’ve never known anybody I’ve really liked except, wait, my family! I forgot about my family! I need to get to them!”
“Calm down, alright, we’ll both go back to bed even though you just woke up, and go out first thing in the morning.”
“Ok, I’ll try.”
They both go to bed, she reclaims the bedroom while he sleeps on the couch. A new journey is about to begin for both of them.
