"Tell everypony I'm on my way! New friends and new places to see. With the blue sky ahead, yes I'm on my way-!"
"North Arrow! Stop with the singing arleady!" I glared at my companion. I was regreting letting her follow me arleady, not that she gave me much of a choice.
"Aw come on, don't be a stick in the mud. There nothing else to do beside walking. And I told you to call me Daring Do."
"If you're so bored of wandering with me, maybe you should go back home. There will be no epic adventure with me. I just decided to visited the most important cities and towns of Equestria." I said secretly hoping she would leave me alone.
"No way! Wandering around Equestria will be way more fun and worthwhile than going at that boring school." I rolled my eyes at her, typical tomcolt.
It took awhile but after a few hours of walking we had arrived at the first stop of my wandering: Ponyville. Not one of the most important place in Equestria but I needed to find a small job, I couldn't possibly visit every cities in Equestria without some bits. And beside I heard that the forest close of the town had some similarities with Earth so I was a little curious about it.
When we arrived I saw something that surprised me a little. In the town there was an almost equal ratio between Earth Ponies, Pegasi and Unicorn, there was still a little more Earth Ponies but since I was used to majorly Unicorns in Canterlot it was surprising to see a town that didn't seem almost exclusif to one race.
"Hey Mrs. Ink! How it's going?" I jumped at the unexpected cheerful voice behind me. I spun around and I had to blink a few time when I saw the pony. She had a light grey coat, two wings, a blonde mane and tail and bubbles as her cutie mark. But that wasn't what shocked me. What surprised me was her eyes who were in two totally different direction.
"Um, do I know you?" I ask confused and why did she called me Mrs. Ink?
"Of course I know you! You visit me occasionally at Heart Warming Eve when your daughter Fluttershy come."
I lifted an eyebrow at this. "Flutter who? And I don't have a daughter! I'm way too young for that, beside it's imposible I would have one with my sexuality." I mumbled the last part.
Just as the wall-eyed mare was about to reply. A minty blue Unicorn mare with a hourglass cutiemark came rushing. "Derpy! There you are! Don't worry about her she must have confuse you with somepony else." She laughed nervousely.
"No I'm sure she's Maria-" 'Derpy' was interupted by a magical glow as the Unicorn drag her away.
"What I told you about creating paradoxes?" The minty blue mare scolded before disappearing further in the town with Derpy in her magical grip.
"That was weird." Daring Do stated and I nodded in agreement.
"Well I need some bits, do you have any ideas where we could find some small jobs?" I ask to my coffee brown friend.
"Well if there a town hall here. The jobs requests should be there." I nodded we just have to find this town hall, should be easy enough.
- - - - -
Turn out finding our way in Ponyville wasn't as easy as I first through. Sure some of the building was very easy to identify like the gingerbread house or the gigantic tree where a bunch of Unicorns were hollowing it to build a sort of library. Kinda fitting considering books are made of trees.
Fortunately Daring Do decided to fly overhead and spot the town hall for me. Unfortunately Daring decided she should dash in direction of the hall. Leaving me miserably trying to gallop after her emphasis on trying.
You see while I was used to walk on four hooves at this point, running was another story. My left forehoof caught on a small rock and I faceplant on the dirt road. The last thing I saw before blacking out was a blue and pink blob.

I blink my eyes open and touch my muzzle with a groan, damn that hurt. Wait where am I? I noticed I was laying on a couch. The room I was in was small, the floor was made of wood and in front of me was a chimney. On top of the chimney was a small picture of what seemed to be two twins brother and sister. The filly had a pink coat with a blue mane, while the brother had a blue coat with a pink mane.
"Oh you're awake." The voice made me jump the voice sound feminine, but when I turn around I was met with a girly looking teenager colt.
"Where am I?" I ask out loud looking around the room.
"You're in my house. Well me and my sister's house." I raise a eyebrow at this.
"You look a little young to own a house." He laughed hollowly at that.
"Well I would probably still live in Stalliongrad if my parents didn't kick me out. I've been town to town and none want us to buy a house. But fortunately when me and my sister found this place they were sympathetic to my situation and let me buy a house instead of going to the orphanage at the condition we could pay our rent."
I was dumbstruck at the story. It's was so nice in Equestria it's was hard to imagine that ponies could be cruel enough to kick their child out of the house. "I'm sorry for your loss. I know how painful it is to be rejected by your family. But I know it's personal but could you tell me why they kick you out?" I know curiousity is bad but I'm a writter and as such I like to hear the tales of other people or ponies in this case.
"Probably all of Ponyville know of my 'situation' at this point due to this stupid slow treatment. So I guess one more pony knowing couldn't hurt, but just promise me if you wander around Stalliongrad don't mention me to anypony there." I nodded in response.
"Stalliongrad pride themself to be the city with the highest male ratio in Equestria, due to the low population of stallions compared to mares they used to say that Stalliongrad would save ponykind once the rest of the land is overun by mares." He laugh mirthlessly. "Of course it's was a huge blow to their ego once the scientists discover that two mares could perfectly create a foal with magic."
"Wait magic can create life?!" I ask in surprise.
The stallion looked at me strangely. "Of course it can, do you live under a rock or something?"
I blushed at this. "It's a long story I can tell you once you finish your." The stallion nodded sastified. "Wait! I just realised I don't know your name. I'm Maria Ink, what your name?"
"I don't use my birth name anymore but everypony call me Aloe," strange name for a colt. "Anyway where was I? Oh yeah! In the old time it's was said that two mares could have a foal with love. When no lust was present the magic of two ponies would create a healty baby pony."
"That sound cheesy as hay but I guess in a world where friendship hold so much power it's not so surprising that love could do something like that." I said to myself and Aloe nodded snickering a little.
"But as we know it is extremely rare that lust isn't present in the bedroom even with a pure love between the two ponies. So the Unicorns developped a spell to make a mare pregnant, the only problem was that it only worked for mares who had horns. So they created another spell that could be cast on any mares. The only condition was that their lover needed to put some Dna, like say some saliva, in their honeypot."
It took me a moment to understand what he meant by 'honeypot' but when I did I blushed like crazy and Aloe laughed at my expression. Trying to make him forget my embarrassment I ask a question. "So with a spell any lesbian couples can have foals?"
He laugh harder at this. "Why, interest?" He ask jockingly.
I was embarassed at the question but responded honestly. "Well not right now, but someday maybe."
"A coffee brown Pegasus came earlier. She told me she would wait outside for you. Was she your fillyfriend?"
I was shocked at the question. "What that reckless filly?! She's a friend nothing more!"
"That what they all say." Aloe grin impishly. "Anyway like I said it blew the ego of Stalliongrad but their pride of being a male dominated city never died. My parents like many were also proud of that fact and because of that they loved me more than my sister." When he said there wasn't even a hint of pride at the opposite he had a scowl.
"I knew they would hate me when I discovered what I was so before I announced it to them me and my sister prepared some saddlebags. When I told them I was transgender my father looked like he wanted to kill me and my mother looked ashame of my very existence. So me and Lotus ran away and never looked back. I tried to convince Lotus to not throw her life away for me, but she said she didn't want to live with a bunch of bigots. So we came here and we realise Lotus dream to be a spa pony. Over the time the job grew on me too and I got my cutie mark."
"I don't want to sound ignorant but... what a transgender?" He looked at me in disbelief before sighing.
"I was born as a colt but deep inside I always felt like I should have been a filly. That why I look like this. I'm under a magical treatment that will turn me into a girl. It takes two months and half to complete the transformation. In one month I will finally be the filly I always wanted to be." People can be born as the wrong gender? That sound... cruel.
"So anyway you said you would tell your story after me." Aloe said eager to forget about his/her problem.
"Well, I was born in the United Kingdom..."
