//------------------------------// // prolouge: New in Ponyville // Story: The New Pony // by Crystal sky //------------------------------// "Hi, I'm Pinkie Pie!" was the first thing I heard when I entered Ponyville. I was going to live here, with a pony called Twilight Sparkle as an assistant for her studies, and this was as warm a welcome as I got. "Um, hello!", I replied, keeping my eyes on the map in front of me as I tried to walk to the library. But Pinkie Pie was quick. "Let me guess, you're that pony Twilight hired! Crystal Sky! Oh, you're going to love working with her, and those wings will help you a ton with reshelving! Want a cupcake?" she said at hyperspeed, pulling a cupcake out of her bag."Oh, I also know that you're going to love everypony in Ponyville! They're all sweet and kind, just like my cupcake! Do you want it?" Pinkie Pie asked, shoving the cupcake in front of me. "Uh, no thanks" I said, shoving it back to her. "I'm, um.....in a rush! No time for cupcakes!" I told her, already walking away. "Thank you though!" Oh, well, ok! I'll see you around Ponyville!"Pinkie screamed at the top of her lungs.I sprinted towards the library, only to run into someone, knocking them off their hooves. "Oh! I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to!" I apologized. The pony I knocked down had a light yellow colored body, and a pretty pink mane. "It's ok." She whispered. She appeared to be extremly shy, with the way she kept her head down. "What's your name?" I asked her. She seemed easier to communicate with than Pinkie Pie, so I thought, 'Hey, why not?' "F-Fluttershy," she said in an almost inauduble whisper."My name is Fluttershy." "nice to meet you. I'm Crystal Sky" I said to her. "And by any chance, do you know where the library is? I need to go there, and I lost my map." Fluttershy slowly pointed her hoof towards a huge tree with a few windows and a huge door. "thank you! I hope to see you around, Fluttershy!" I said, walking towards the library. "Same to you." I heard Fluttershy say quietly. After a few quick strides I made it to the library. From inside, I heard two voices talking. It sounded serious, so I wavered opening the door. Then, talking myself into it, I took a huge breath, and opened the doors to my new life
