Chapter 3: Making Friends

"Welcome to Ponyville, Charming Thunder," Pinkie Pie said. "Should we throw a party to celebrate your welcome?"

"That is not why we are here," Charming Thunder replied in a nice tone. "But some other time. I promise."

"Pinkie promise?"

"Uh...yes." Charming Thunder said in a confusion. "Was I suppose to say something, Rainbow?"

"You have to say cross my heart, and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye." Rainbow Dash said as she explained what it is.

"Oh right. Thanks." Charming Thunder then said the punch line that Rainbow Dash helped him with. "Cross my heart, and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye."

"OK." Pinkie Pie said happily. "So why are you really here?"

"Princess Cadence and Shining Armor are coming to town and I need you to help Twilight with the preparations for their arrival tomorrow morning." Rainbow Dash replied.

"Oh that sounds exciting we should throw them a party when they arrive."

"OK," Charming Thunder levitated a list that Twilight made out of his saddle bag and gave it to Pinkie Pie. "here is the list of things Twilight wants you to do tomorrow morning."

"Ookie Dokie." Pinkie Pie then bounced outside carrying a list of what she needs.

"OK, Pinkie Pie. Check. Only three more to go." Charming Thunder said as Rainbow dash and him exited the building.

"Next stop, Fluttershy's Cottage." Rainbow Dash said.

---------------------

Rainbow Dash and Charming Thunder journeyed through the Everfree Forest because at the edge of the forest is Fluttershy's Cottage. Along the way, Rainbow Dash asked Charming Thunder, "Why are you and Daring Do looking for that temple anyways?"

Charming Thunder looked at at Rainbow Dash as they were walking through the forest and said, "It's because we are looking for the egg of the Xenomorph. It is the first stage of growing into a reptilian like creature."

"Oh. I see. But but what does it look like in its first stage?"

"That is what you are about to find out if you want to come with me on this journey. And maybe I can also ask your friends including my sister Cadence and Shining Armor."

Rainbow Dash was happy that Charming Thunder was going to ask her that. She always wanted to go on an adventure with Daring Do. "I would like to," she said excitedly. "just let me ask my friends as you ask Shining Armor and Cadence."

"Sounds like a plan."

Once the conversation was over, they arrived at Fluttershy's Cottage. It was a beautiful place to visit especially for Charming Thunder. The cottage's roof is covered in grass and is filled with runways, holes and perches for animals including squirrels, birds, rabbits, and so much more. When they approached the front door, Rainbow Dash knocked on the door and Fluttershy answered the door. She was a yellow pegasus with butterflies as her cutie mark. "Oh. Hello, Rainbow Dash. What brings you here and who's your friend?" she asked curiously.

"This is Charming Thunder, Fluttershy," Rainbow Dash replied.

"Oh. It's nice to meet you, Charming Thunder."

"The pleasure is mine, Fluttershy." Charming Thunder said.

Fluttershy giggles for a second while he was taking out a list for her and said after he gave it to her, "Here is a list Twilight made you for preparations for the arrival of Shining Armor and my sister Cadence. They are going to arrive tomorrow morning so be prepared."

"Goodness," Fluttershy replied. "What an honor. I'll be there when I get the preparations ready."

"OK," Rainbow Dash said. "We'll see you tomorrow."

"Two down, two to go," Charming Thunder said.

"Now its time for Rarity's Carousel Boutique."

---------------------

Rarity's boutique is both a home and a shop to buy dresses. When they entered the building, Charming Thunder saw the room which is stocked with materials and supplies such as mirrors, dress form mannequins, and movable screens. There they saw Rarity a white unicorn just like Charming Thunder. Her purple mane and tail are both curled and her cutie mark has three diamonds. She then noticed Charming Thunder and Rainbow Dash then walked towards them. "Oh. Good day, my dear Rainbow Dash. Who's you're friend?"

"I am Charming Thunder." Charming Thunder replied. "I came from Canterlot."

"CANTERLOT!!" Rarity said. "I have always dreamed of living at Canterlot. Except for the time at the Grand Galloping Gala and the Canterlot Wedding. What brings you here to Ponyville?"

"I am about to move here. I just need to find a place to live in Ponyville?" Charming Thunder replied.

"Well if you want a place to live then why don't you ask either me or my friends. I have a sister who is living with me right now. Would you like to meet her?"

"I would love to."Charming Thunder replied.

"Sweetie Belle," she shouted. "There is somepony here who wants to meet you."

Sweetie Belle was a white unicorn with a purple and pink mane and tail. She has no cutie mark however. "Who is he, Rarity?" Sweetie Belle asked her sister.

"That Sweetie Belle is Charming Thunder. Would you like to talk to him so that you can get to know him more?"

"Sure. I always like to meet somepony new."

Charming Thunder and Sweetie both walked upstairs while Rainbow Dash explains to Rarity about Cadence and Shining Armor coming to Ponyville.
