Chapter 3: A Party then Q & A

Star's POV

Our first meal in Equestria was sweet and delicious. The pieces of cake was sweet and moist, just perfect.

We returned our plates back to the counter, and left Sugarcube Corner.

"So what happened with Pinkie back there?" I asked Arcana.

"I don't know, Pinkie being Pinkie," she answered, "but at least we’re not in the Cupcake reality."

"Whew, am I glad about that," I said happily, "so should we go to Twilight's to thank her for saving us?"

"Yeah let's do that, what kind of peo-ah I mean ponies would we be if we don't?."

"Then let's go," I said walking towards the direction I thought it was in.

"Hey Star Streak," I looked back at her and saw her pointing in the other direction, "It's in that direction."

I looked in the direction she was pointing and saw the familiar tree that was Twilight's home.

"Oh yeah." I said in embarrassment.

We got to the libraries front door and stood there.

"So, should we just go in or knock first?" Arcana asked looking at me.

"I'll knock," I answered her, I knocked on the door with my hoof, after I finished knocking, a yell come from inside saying, "OH FOR THE LOVE OF… IT'S A LIBRARY JUST COME RIGHT ON IN."

"And I'll just go in." Arcana said giggling at her own joke, I couldn't help but smile at that.

As we entered, we found ourselves staring at the amount of books in the room alone.

We heard Twilight's voice started speaking from a set of stairs off to the side, "So, what can I help you with…" trailing off as she came down the stairs and saw us.

"What is up with ponies being unable to finish their sentences today?" I asked with a grin.

My question snapped Twilight out of her shock and said, "I'm sorry, but I'm surprised to see you two up and about already."

"Well, yeah, because of the help you gave us. The nurse told us what happened and we were so very grateful, we came here to say thank you personally," Arcana said gratefully.

"Well you are very welcome, I’m just happy to see you’re both okay."

As Twilight said that, there was a series of quick knocks on the door, "Why does everypony here knock on the door when they know this is a public library," Twilight said, clearly annoyed seeing as she put a lot of emphasis on the word public.

"I'll get it for you Twilight," I said as I walked to the door.

I opened the door with a “Yes?” but the word quickly died in my throat when I found myself looking at the opening of a cannon in the doorway. Something was said behind the cannon, but I never heard because I quickly yelled out, "TAKE COVER!!!!" as I dove to the ground covering my head with my forelegs, scared.

There was a loud explosion. I heard screaming and then I felt something start to rain down on me. I took my forelegs away from my head and saw that the room had somehow been covered with streamers, confetti, and party favors. In the middle of the room Twilight stood there looking really annoyed about the room's condition.

"PINKIE, what did I say about using that cannon in the library?"

I looked back at the front door and saw Pinkie leaning against the cannon. She replied happily, "You said to not use my cannon in the library, because I might ruin some of the books, and it makes a big mess, but Twilight there are two new ponies here in Ponyville and I wanted to give them a big welcome party, but I only have enough time to do the invites, so I got my party cannon to do the decorations."

"Well be careful where you decide to shoot that thing, you nearly hit one of them and they just got out of the hospital."

"It's okay Twilight, there was no harm meant in what she was doing, and I'm fine see," I said to Twilight as I got up from the floor and shook the confetti off of myself.

Pinkie's mane deflated, her coat turning a little darker and she somehow managed to pull off the foal eyes.

"Okay then Pinkie you can have your party here," said Twilight, defeated, "but how did you know they would be here?"

"I read the beginning of the chapter," said Pinkie cryptically, her hair poofing back to her normal style and her coat turning back to bright pink.

We stared at her in confusion, but it didn't last.

"Oh and thanks for the cakes, we were both hungry."

"Well duh, why else would you come to Sugarcube Corner, besides making me go GASP. Besides, I give a free piece of cake to those who are new to Ponyville. Now come on, everypony, let's PARTY," said Pinkie. The rest of Twilight's friends came in a few moments later, and after some greetings and thanks, and somehow a cake was made, we all enjoyed the welcome party.

After the party calmed down greatly, Twilight and her friends wanted to know more about us, other than the accident.

"So, what are your names?" Rarity asked us, "’Cause you’re kind of cute," she said towards me.

"Well I'm Star Streak," I answered my part of her question and feeling myself blushing.

"And mine is Arcana," Arcana answering her part.

"Are you sure you two are okay?" Fluttershy asked shyly, "Because you both were in pretty bad shape when I found you."

"So it was you that I asked for help," I said, surprised, "Thank you, without you, there might have been a funeral and not a party today. Oh, and yes, we are fine Fluttershy."

"What was the deal with that accident?" Applejack asked.

"We're not entirely sure about that other than the whole falling out of the sky thing," Arcana replied.

"Where are you two from?" Twilight asked.

Arcana and I stared at each other nervously, "Well, you see, we’re not exactly from around these parts," I replied to her.

"Then are you from Manehattan?" Twilight asked.

"No."

"New Yoke?"

"No."

"Fillydelphia?"

"No."

"Trottingham?"

"No."

"Appaloosa?"

"No."

"Canterlot?"

"No."

"Cloudsdale," she said looking to me.

"No."

"Then where are you from?" Rainbow Dash asked getting annoyed with all the no's to all the questions.

"Well we're not sure where our home is." Arcana said.

"We'll get back to that question," said Twilight stopping Dash from doing something reckless that she might regret.

"I have a question," asked Pinkie, who had her hoof raised like a child in school.

"OKay then, fire away."

"How come neither of you have your cutie marks?" Pinkie asked.

I felt my eyes go wide and checked my flank, and I saw Arcana doing the same as I looked towards my flank and sure enough, we both have blank flanks.

I face hooved in stupidity for forgetting the cutie mark when I was making Star Streak.

"Well you see... that is we, um…," I said, feeling my mind go blank trying to make an excuse.

"Never found out what our talents are," Arcana said finishing my sentence.

"Well thats a bit odd, but we never let problems like that get in the way when making new friends," Pinkie said happily.

"Well it's getting dark, I think we should all get home and get some sleep," Twilight said with a yawn.

"Uhm... not to impose or anything, but where are Arcana and I going to sleep?" I asked everypony.

"Well you both can sleep here," said Twilight, "I have a couple of extra rooms."

"Once again Twilight, thank you for helping us," I said to her.

Everypony said goodnight and left. Twilight led us to our rooms, we said goodnight to her and went in.

Twilight's POV

After Star Streak and Arcana said goodnight and went to bed, I went to my bedroom and started a letter for the princess.

Dear Princess Celestia,

I have met two new ponies today (a mare and a stallion) and made friends with them, but there are a few things about them that I can't get out of my head. For one, they don't know where their home is, and second is that they both don't have their cutie marks, and they seem to be out of place here, but I think that might just be me. Well I am just informing you about these two new ponies, for I might speak of them later.

Sincerely your faithful student, Twilight Sparkle.

I sealed the letter and gave it to Owlowiscious as Spike was in Canterlot doing a few errands for me. Owlowiscious flew out of the open window and disappeared into the night sky.

I closed the window and went to bed thinking what the Princess might reply back with.
