	Ten minutes had passed since Pinkie Pie had showed me around Ponyville. We arrived at the library only to find out it was a giant party for us to meet the other ponies. Tick and Vinyl were DJ’ing and the rest of my friends were dancing to the music. 

My friend Rocket looked at us and seemed down. I was having too much fun to notice but I knew deep down that he was having the hardest time adjusting to the new surroundings. It was actually quite normal. 

When the song that was playing ended Tick Tock grabbed a microphone and said “So, Who’s ready to have a good time!” Loud Roars “I can’t hear you!, I said, Are you having a good time! Vinyl, put on that disc!” All of a sudden. . .Tick and Vinyl began mixing music and creating some really crazy dance tunes. 

Tick then went further up the stage and began dancing while doing several infamous dance moves including The Twist, The style, and The Metal. Several Ponies chanted his name but just when they thought it was over, PEACHY jumped up on stage. She started dancing with moves that were unheard of including The Sprinkler, The Pony Leg, and The Beat. Then, Rocket was thrown on stage and he didn’t know what to do but it didn’t matter because no one paid attention to his appearance because Peachy and Tick were getting serious about the dance, so he got off and went to the back. 

I then got up on the stage and pushed both of them aside and began dancing even faster to the music, Vinyl lifted her glasses in shock. I then continued dancing with moves like The Monkey, The crouching Tiger, and The Sign of Peace. I admit, between the two of them Peachy had won but the crowd was cheering for all of us, not just one of us. We all had so much fun that even the mane six were cheering for us to continue. We didn’t want to be rude and hop off the stage, so we winged the rest of it. I went and did some aeronautical moves, Tick did some awesome guitar slides, and Peachy showed off her spectacular flips.  It lasted several hours before anyone was too tired to continue dancing. We left and met up outside. 

Rocket approached us and said “How would you guys like to have pets?” We all were jumping with glee and after a few minutes we all looked at him and asked “Where can we go?” He took us to Twilight’s House. We approached Twilight and asked her for help. She took us to Fluttershy’s house by teleportation. It was trippy to be honest. 

Knock...knock...knock..."Fluttershy, you in there?"

"Just a moment please, that is if you don't mind waiting," a voice on the other side of the door said, "Now eat your dinner Angel while I greet my guest."

When the door opened she found five ponies waiting for her and she let out a yelp before calming down.

"Twilight, I thought they were going to Pinkie's party," Fluttershy said, "Why are they here?"

"They're here for pets Fluttershy," Twilight answered, surprising her friend, "They want to live in Ponyville peacefully and normally, so I figured that a pet would do nicely."

"Oh, yes indeed," the mare said, moving out of the way to welcome them to her home, "Do you have any idea as to which pet you want or is this research for later on?"

I approached Fluttershy with a very enthusiastic question “Do you have a Panda?” She told me he was in the kitchen eating bamboo and once I heard her say that, I dashed so fast to the kitchen that I almost tripped over several animals but I didn’t. 

I entered the kitchen to see a panda eating bamboo. I flew up and was so happy. I landed back on the floor and approached the panda. The panda turned and saw me and began sniffing my face. He gave me a huge lick and then continued licking me. 

I looked at him and said “Who’s a good panda, such a sweet panda. . .I shall name you Spirit, Panda of Wisdom.” We walked out of the kitchen and witnessed my friends choose their pets. 

Peachy asked for a fox. When she saw Sly the fox she was enthusiastic and began playing weird games with it. She would poke the fox and it would jump on her head. She would shake it off of her head and then it would climb onto her back. 

She was having so much fun. Tick approached Fluttershy and before he realized it, a timberwolf jumped into the room and pinned Fluttershy. He looked at it and at first said “That’s ferocious, awesome, and well-trained. . .I shall call him Splinter.

Rocket, however, didn’t want one just yet and went back to the library to rest. 

I returned to the Cake’s house with Spirit. When we entered Pinkie Pie saw Spirit and at first didn’t know what to do. I looked at her and said “Don’t Panic, this is my Panda Spirit, he is very friendly, and very playful.” She walked over to it and poked it. The panda turned to her and picked her up and gave her a big hug. She let out a big “Awe!” 

The Cakes and their children walked into the room and saw the panda. They panicked and so again I had to explain everything to them. 

I left the room for a brief moment to go and explain myself. While I was gone, Pound and Pumpkin climbed on Spirit’s back and he took them on a ride around the room. They climbed off and were licked by Spirit numerous times. They had so much fun. 

Pinky walked back up to Spirit and whispered something in his ear. When she finished whispering, Spirit walked up to Pound and Pumpkin and picked them up and placed them on Pinkie’s back. She looked at him and said “I didnt mean on my back, you were suppose to take them to the back.” Spirit came into the room I was in. The Cakes then were introduced to Spirit and noticed that he had taken a liking to Pound and Pumpkin. 

After an hour, Spirit and I went to my room. I went ahead and began meditating while Spirit went to sleep. I had an epiphany, I saw Peachy in trouble but I didn’t know what was happening. I looked around and when I went back to meditating I saw . . .Chrysalis! . . .disguised as a pony that we all were gonna meet. 

I went to bed and awaited for tomorrow’s bringings. 

I awoke to find that Spirit wasn’t in the room. I went downstairs and found Spirit playing with the kids. Pinkie pie approached me and said “We’ve got a lot of work to do. We’ve got to go around Ponyville and bring a smile to every ponies face. Then afterwards we shall go to the little cafe on the corner and enjoy the pretty scenery, and Finally we shall go and see what the others are doing.” 

I looked at Pinkie and said “That is going to be very peaceful and I can’t wait for us to go and see the others. If I might add, we should stop by and see Peachy! She could be in trouble.” 

She looked at me and said “Ooh, we shall definitely do that. It’s gonna be fun to watch the other’s, especially since we are really good at hiding.” We left and began our day.
