//------------------------------// // Chapter 2 // Story: Persony - Unlocking the true you. // by Swiftlyscripted //------------------------------// As Twilight to Shinin and Sweetie Bell, she noticed the book store near the fueling station. She used her strong will power to step away from in. "Hey, sis you feeling alright enough to get back in the wagon?" Shinin' asked. "Yeah, I'm feeling better. Let's go" She replied with a smile on her face. "All right, let's hit the road then. Next stop, home!" he said as he leads them both to the wagon. They all hopped inside and started their way to the house. A few minutes has passed and the wagon stopped again. This time in front of a house with a purple motor scooter in front of it. Shinin' and Sweetie got out of the wagon and trotted inside the house. Twilight stopped to remember what it looks like and what's around it. Just to know where to go to every night. After she did that she slowly went inside the house and gave a little sigh. Later that night the three ponies were sitting at a small table that was between a sofa and a small television set. There was great food on the table for dinner and all enjoyed themselves. Before eating they all picked up their drinks and smiled. "All right you two, Let's have a toast" Shinin' said with a small glass of a carbonated drink. THe other two nodded, raised their glass and started to drink. They put their drinks down and Shinin' turned to his sister. "So... mom and dad are busy working somewhere in Equestria and they never told you. That must be rough. I mean, you're stuck with me and Sweetie for a year while mom and dad is doing something, somewhere." he said "It's alright." She replied. "I'm sure it's going to be bit fun." "Heh, well it's just me and Sweetie Bell here. So i'll be nice to have you around." he said "Really?" she asked "Yup, so as long as you're here sis. This is you're new home." he replied " Thanks, Shinin' ... for your kindness." she said "Hey, c'mon, there is no need to be so formal." he said with a chuckle. They both looked at Sweetie Bell and Shinin' was still chuckling "Look, you're making sweetie all tense." he said Sweetie Bell ears perked up and her head went down thinking she did something wrong. Shinin' felt bad. "Anyway,... let's eat." he said The two girls nodded but once they were about to take a bite, they heard something ringing. "Why the buck would somepony call at this time of night?" Shinin' said out loud Shinin' got up and trotted over to the larger table in the kitchen, picks it up and answers it. "... Shinin' speaking... mmhmm... Yeah? All right. I see... so where is it... okay... All right, Ill be right there. I guess I was right to pass on the Apple Jack Daniels tonight." Shinin's said on the phone. He hung up the phone and turned around. "Sorry girls, but I have something to take care of. Duty calls. Go ahead and eat without me." he told them Sweetie Bell got up and trotted up to him. "I don't know how late I'll be Sweetie Bell, will you help your aunt out? He asked "... Okay" she answered disappointedly Shinin' trotted outside the house and noticed it was raining outside. "Sweetie, it's raining! Did you bring in the laundry?!" he screamed out. "Yeah, I already brought it in!" she answered back. "All right, Well, I'm off." he said as he closed the door. Sweetie Bell sat back down in her seat and turned on the t.v. " -- for this week. Next, let's take a look at the breakdown of tomorrow's weather. With storm clouds moving in from the west, expect rain throughout the day in most areas." the t.v news said. Sweetie Bell nodded her head once due to her understanding the weather. She looked at Twilight and spoke to her. "... Let's eat." she said Twilight noticed that her and Sweetie Bell was alone. So break the quietness she tried to start up a conversation. "Hey Sweetie Bell, what does your dad do anyway?" She asked "Oh, he... investigates stuff. Like crimes senses... He's a detective" she replied. Twilight ears went up to hear that her older brother is a detective in Ponyville. Suddenly the news started speaking again. " And now for local news. Manehattan council secretary Big Macintosh is under fire for an alleged relationship with a mare reporter. His wife, school teacher Mrs. Cheerile, revealed to this station that she will likely purse damage. In response, Equestria Daily News has decided to cancel all of announcer Spit Fire's televised appearances. Until allegation of an affair with Mr. Macintosh are resolved, she'll remain off the air and out of public eye." it said Sweetie Bell looked like she was gonna fall asleep because of the news. "... Ugh, this is boring." she said as she changed the station Suddenly an ad for a very unique place came on. "At the Paatii, you'll never leave this place feeling unappreciated." it said. " Come one, come all and have some fun it's gonna be a ball!" it sang. " Come one, come all and have some fun it's gonna be a ball!" Sweetie Bell repeated. Twilight was shocked to hear this young filly, without a cutie mark. Thinking she should have one for singing, but she doesn't. Sweetie Bell just remembered that Twilight was there so she put her ears down and looked at her. "... A-Aren't you gonna eat Twilight?" she asked Twilight was smiling with a bit of sweat coming down and started eating. Once they were done eating Sweetie Bell picked up both of their dishes and brought them to the sink. " You need some help?" Twilight asked "No, I got it. Just go upstairs and finish unpacking." she replied. Twilight did what she said. She went upstairs to unpack the boxes that came in days before her arrival. It wasn't a lot of stuff, so she was done already. She had a mirror next to her desk which was filled with books. She didn't want to read them tonight because of the long train ride there, so she set up her bead and went straight to bed.
