There you go you bucking piece of- [Static] Grrrrrrrrrrr. Now where did I leave off to on my last recording. [Rewind]....[Play] Sometime Later [Stop] Oh yeah! Okay I was just getting to the good part. Okay this is how it went... The train ride to Manehatten was long. We have never been outside of Winter's Garden. It was hard for Alpha to leave, especially cause he had to make a new lab. He was closer to our parents then I was. He was their last foal after all. And now we had to leave. We had to find another home. The train stopped. We got off the train station was big and looked brand new. It had high ceilings that were made of glass. Every part of the station was white and shinny. I could see my face in the floor. A still reminder of why we had to leave. I hit the ground with my hoof. I didn't want to be reminded of such things. It was hard enough that I had to leave. The passengers got on the new age train. It white paint glistening. Alpha tapped my shoulder. He looks like he hadn't slept for days. How can I blame him. We started walking for the exit. When we saw him. Uncle Gamma. With his light brown coat and gray mane, mustache, and beard. He was wearing a camo jacket and hat. He looked like a soldier. We knew it was him for only one reason cause he was holding up a sign that said "Welcome to Manehatten, Nova & Alpha Class". "Hello" I said in a low voice, "Are you Gamma Class?" He scowled "That's General Gamma Ta Yea Missy!!! Now who you be?" He had a loud voice, it could have been mistaken for a yell if it wasn't so noisy. "Umm, I'm Nova Class." I looked back, "and that's Alpha. Mom sent us." "Oh!?!" He looked us up and down. "Last time I checked Aqua had two colts, but I could be mistaken." he thought for a second. "Wait! Now I remember! Oh, I'm sorry Nova. Didn't recognize yea." "Uhh, its okay Uncle Gamma-" I was cut off. "Its still General Gamma ta yea." "Ummm okay General Gamma lets just get to your house to talk more about this." "House?" "Yes, house. You have one right." "Don't insult me lassy. I have tha right mind ta whip yea right here and now." I backed away a little, "I have an apartment. Didn't Aqua tell yea?" "No, she didn't inform us." Oh great, were the last thoughts that past through my mind. We arrived at the 'apartment'. It was old, if those are the right words for it. It was painted dark green and had wood columns on ever corner and intersection. but it was reasonably big for an apartment. The living room had a broken down light burgundy couch with some blue and burgundy patches over it. There was a flat screen TV, first modern thing I've seen all day, but it was in a brown wooden cabinet. There were bookshelves too, on either side of the cabinet. The kitchen was across from the living room. It had light brown furnishings and an old style refrigerator, you know the white ones where you had to make the ice on your own. The sink looked good but it was a small fit, only one pony could fit in it at a time, doesn't mean two could fit, it does have a small pathway its just the other pony could get stuck at the back and can't get out until the other pony was done doing whatever he was doing. "Are you done sightseeing?" Gamma asked. It spooked us quite a bit. Will I get ever used to his loud voice? He looked at us with one eyebrow raised. "Okay, if yea done I'll show you two to ya room." He started walking to the other hallway. We followed. There were only two rooms, one was made just for us it seemed. Inside were two beds and trunks on the edge of the beds. The only thing I can say was wrong with the room was it had only one drawer. Which meant that me and Alpha had to share it. "Okay lads. Unpack your stuff and then we can have supper." Gamma left the room, and went to the kitchen. Leaving me and Alpha in the room by ourselves. "So, umm should we start unpacking?" Alpha suggested. I sighed and said "Yeah, it looks like we'll be staying here for awhile Alpha." We unpacked fairly quickly. Since the drawer was split into three we decided to use only three. And we would decorate it if we decided to stay. After we had some dinner we decided to hit the hay for the day. The next week was mostly boring. We were mostly trying to figure out life in the big city since we lived in a small town all our life. It wasn't until the month after we came that we ran into trouble, or as I would like to call it Adventure!!!! Me and Alpha were walking home from the store. After we were bummed by a stallion. "Oh I'm sorry! Didn't see ya there. Are you okay?" But as he asked these things he looked like he was in a hurry. His mane was a weird one, dark brown and red; his coat was light amber-ish. His cutie mark was the first thing that had caught my eye though. It was blue headphones with a blue microphone in between them. It was Mic The Microphone, standing there looking concerned for me. I almost fainted if Alpha didn't catch me. "Its okay I'm sorry. I should have moved out of your way." I lowered my head, "Do you need help its the least we can do for someone so famous." Alpha helping me up looked at the stallion once again. He looked confused. I guessed he didn't listen to much music as I did. "Well I guess help wouldn't be to bad bu-" I squealed... Yup squealed. Here was Mic the Microphone asking me for help. I couldn't help but jump around Alpha with the stupidest grin on my face. "Hey!" Mic yelled. I stopped hopping and coughed being a little embarrassed. "Now like I was saying. You can't tell anybody about this, okay?" We shook our heads. "Now last night me and Jackle App got a little drunk after a show we did. I don't remember much else. All I know is that my favorite mic is gone and I'm trying to find it. Will you help me?" I was trying my best not to squeal now so I just nodded my head. "Why don't you just get a-" I bumped him. I knew what he was about to say. But it seemed like Mic had also seen that one coming. "I just like it, okay? No more questions... ummm. Whats your names?" I sped in front of him as fast as I could. "Hi! My names Nova Class. This is my brother Alpha Class." I shook his hoof with all my excitement. It was still moving after I let go. "Oh I can't thank you guys enough but" Mic looked around, "we need to go now." He went behind us and started pushing. "I wasted enough time but with the three of us we'll make it up." That was the month all our adventures started. It took us until Luna's rising moon to find that mic. After that me and Alpha met a lot of other awesome ponies and one awesome griffin. There was that one time with The Living Tombstone where he wanted to see if he could build the most awesome party. I remember D.Notive, Alex S., Ken Ashcorp, and of course Mic was there. Later I met other cool artist and musicians. But Discord Day was Manehatten's Biggest Party Ever!!!! D-Day Dear Mom, It was another morning after a days worth of adventure. Everything in Manehatten was going well. Me and Alpha like it here. We still miss you. How long has it been? Last time I wrote you a letter it was after our vary first adventure. I'm sorry I never wrote you of our other adventures. We've been doing fine. Uncle Gamma has softened up to us. He yells at us less but he still does when we call him Uncle Gamma. Its been fun mom it really has. Did I mention we missed you? Well we do. We met a lot of awesome ponies. I love it here mom and I'm thinking of staying. But I'm also thinking of exploring the world. I've been keeping a diary. And I made a book called Adventures in Manehatten. I hope you heard of it. Mic really was cool with the first adventure. I hope you read it. I've kept up with my art too. I painted many pictures of ponies. Well I have to go mom. Sorry the letter was so short. I love you. Sincerely, Your loving Daughter, Nova Class I was crying. I really did miss her. I folded the letter and put it into the envelope. I wiped my eyes before I walked out of my room. It was early in the morning and the boys wouldn't wake up till Celestia's sun is fully up. And Gamma calls himself a solider, I thought. It was bright right when I went out of the apartment complex. "Hey! Derpy!" I yelled. "Oh, hey Nova. What's up?" "Can you mail this for me?" I pulled the letter out of my saddle bag. "Of course Nova! You know maybe when you visit Ponyville we could catch up more." she smiled. "Sure thing. Never been to Ponyville, but from what you keep telling me it sounds real fun." I nodded. "Well I need to run. You know I'm filling in for Disty Doo since she was out to see her cousin Daring Doo." "Yeah of course. Good thing I caught you. Now I don't have to go all the way to the post office. See ya, Derpy." "See ya, Nova." then she flew to the next fronts filling everyponies mail box with letters. I started walking to the farmers market when I noticed something weird happened or several weird things. The pigeons wings were as big as Jackle Apps and trust me those are big wings. I had to dodge falling air conditioners, so I few into the street. Not a good idea. Carts zoomed pass me with screaming pegasi. I flew up trying not to get hit by the carts. I saw the city. Everything was becoming all wrong. Before I knew it I was surrounded by pigeons. They didn't look to happy to see me in the sky. I couldn't go any where I was trapped there were to many. One of them charged me. I braced for impacted. "Kawwww!" it was a pained sound and it should of hit me already. I looked up to see Gilda. "Hey squirt." she said with a sly smile. "Nice to see you again, Gilda." I smirked. "And don't forget about me." I turned around to see Jackle App smiling at me. "Can't have one without the other, huh Jackle App?" I winked. "Nope we're stuck together like glue." he chuckled. "Nows not the time to be playing around. There's more of them." Boy was she right. There were a lot more. "Remember Flight School, Gilda?" "Yeah? Why? Wait-" "Clear, Fly, Fall." she nodded her head in agreement. "On the count of three." The pigeons circled the three of us. They puffed up making their wings look more natural. "One" Jackle App looked a little confused but stood confident in his abilities. "Two" I crouched inside myself before I yelled "Three!!!" We smashed out of the circle of pigeons. We flew up and down making these birds smash into one another. But I found that there were three on my tail. I tried to out maneuver them but nothing seemed to work. It seemed like they had me until a blur of green and orange came from the ground. It was Tiger and Glaze. "Long time no see Nova. Good to see you've been well." Tiger smiled at her joke. "Yeah yeah. Lets just finish this." Glaze said. "On It!!!" I yelled. The five of us cleaned it up pretty well. In an hour the pigeons were flying off scared. "Well that was-" BOOM!!! A rainbow like streak was going through the air. Before I could ask Gilda had already said it. "Its the Sonic Rainboom." She looked shocked. "But-" again interrupted but by a wave that blew me and the rest of Manehatten down from the sky. By the time I woke back up all of Manehatten had been changed. And I almost squealed with joy. The streets were made of milky chocolate. The skyscrapers were cakes and speakers. I could tell when the rest of the ponies woke up. There were a lot of gasps and squeals. One mare tried to run past me. "Wait!" I caught her before she ran to the nearest building. "Why?" she said jumping up and down with a nervous and excited look. "What if this is a trap? What if its dangerous?" I said with excitement in my voice. "Only one way to find out!" Mic ran past me and dug his face into the cake building. "Mic!" I yelled before he looked back with the stupidest grin. "Thes-" he swallowed "This is the best cake ever!!" After that there was no holding me and the other ponies back. I flew with great speed into the cake building laughing and eating the delicious cake. It tasted like pure heaven. "Oh Celestia buck me" I moaned. Then I ate some more. A loud sound echoed through the air. Then she spoke. "Hey this is your favorite DJ pony! Vinyl Scratch! And my Co-Host Octavia!!!! Here on the Empire Equestrian Building which is now a speaker! Isn't that fun folks. We don't normally do this but since our station is now a cake we are airing on here. And something new here as well, some news! Yay~. Discord is out of his prison and is now making everything weird, but do we mind? Hell no I get free cake. What do you think Octy?" "Vinyl don't call me that!!! And to answer your question. I am prepared to run to the nears cake building as we speak. Now can we get this over with?" "Octy I'm already there." Sound of this russling came from the speakers. "Lets go we have no more business here. Octavia. That hurt you know." "I know. Now lets go." Hoof steps were heard. A few moments past and it was silence again. I stepped outside eating some cake from the building to see Eurobeat running in the direction of the Empire Equestrian Building. I shrugged and continued eating. By now everypony is either eating cake or sliding on the milk chocolate roads. It was the most fun some of these ponies had in years. It was nice to see ponies happy. Even if the source was a chaotic dragonquis. They'll get tired of it eventually. The loud sound appeared again. "Hey everypony! This is Eurobeat bringing you my latest song, perfect for D-Day or should I say Discord Day. My new song Discord!" The music started playing and everypony could hear his terrifying laugh. At first the song was slow then it sped up. Everypony was running outside either a speaker or a cake. We all danced. It was rare for this to happen, actually I think this has never happened before. Some of us slipped and got drenched in chocolate. Next thing you know everypony was singing along and rocking out to Discord. It was crazy, chaotic, madness even and he wasn't even here! Mic was singing with Glaze. Tiger was slidding through the streets propelled by her wings. Alpha and I were dancing. Gilda was gone. But Jackle App was to consumed in cake to notice. I guess Discord got to him. Uncle Gamma decided to stay in the cake apartment. But now the song was over but the party was still going on. Everypony who could sing and DJ was on their way to the Empire Equestrian Building. Yup that was about the funnest day in recorded Manehatten history also the most reported property damage. The day after that the dentist were in a lot of business. The Elements had defeated Discord by the end of the day. Equestria turned back to normal almost instantly. It was fun while it lasted. It has been a few days since then and the clean up of the city was almost over. I got a letter from Derpy saying she had to go back cause she had to go look for her daughter. This time I really thought about visiting her. Maybe I could help I said to myself. I spent a year here and have really made some great friends. I don't even know if I could leave. I told Alpha that I was going to check out Ponyville and if he would like to come. He agreed instantaneously. We told Gamma and he said it was our choice. We thanked and hugged him. We started packing our bags and saying that we'll be back before you know it. We were getting on the old train when Gamma came and said that he promised our mother to look after us. All three of us got on the train and we were on our way to Ponyville. It took us awhile to get there but we made it. It was a fairly small town. Derpy was waiting for us to get off. Me and her hugged. And I told her I was here to check out the town and help her find Dinky. It took us a short while but we had found her under her bed. It was touching to see them so happy. Derpy said that she had no room for us to stay but we might find some room in the library. That's when Gamma said he'd be going to Canterlot to become a royal guard again and he will visit as many times as he can so he can check up on us. It was sad to see him go but I knew I would see him again. We said our goodbyes and he was off to Canterlot. It was almost sun down when we made it to the local library we had to ask some directions in order to find this place. Nothing was like Manehatten. We arrived at the library... We knocked on the door. "Spike can you get that!" yelled someone inside. We looked at each other. A small baby dragon opened the door. "Oh my Celestia. Its a baby dragon." I said out loud not meaning to. "I have a name you know. Now-" I cut him off. "And he can speak." I stared at him and Alpha was drawing up measurements with his magic behind the baby dragon. He sighed. "What do you two want?" I shook my head remembering what I was here for. "Oh we heard from Derpy the owner of this house had a spear room and we just wanted to know if we can use it. Oh, Also we heard you guys needed extra help." I smiled. "Yes we do have an extra room and we are looking for help." Said an unknown voice who was opening the door. She was a purple pony with a darkest shade of purple mane with a pink and purple streak. "My name is Twilight Sparkle. Who might you two be?" I shook my head a few times. She was a beautiful pony to say the least. "My name is Nova Class. This is my brother Alpha." I pointed to Alpha who could only stare. Something popped in my head. "Wait. Are you THE Twilight Sparkle? The Element of Magic? Princess Celestia's pupil?" She reddened a little. "Yes. I'm that Twilight Sparkle. I never met anypony with the same so I'm the only one." She smiled shyly. She looked around. "Do you guys want to come in?" she asked. "Thanks for your kindness. Maybe we can talk about this further." She held the door open and I stepped through ruffling my wings. "Come on Alpha." He snapped out of his daze and quickly walked behind me. That night we talked over our terms to each other. There are two beds, one bathroom, a kitchen, and a lab in the basement. The rest of the house are wings of the library. Me and Alpha have to share one bed but its not as bad as you think we sleep in two different directions so there's no mishap. Twilight has been kind to us ever since we moved in. Alpha some how got access to the lab that I'm in now. We've been unpacking this whole time so now we're finished. Guess there's nothing else to say but goodbye. Until next time, farewell. This is Nova Class and I'm out! ...[Recording]... ...[Stop]... Announcement: You may have heard of the bronies and ponies used in this chapter.
