Chapter 4: Welcome To Ponyville
TOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!
"Here we are! Ponyville!" the conductor shouted.
Everypony, including me, got off the train and set their hooves on Ponyville soil. I didn't have much luggage with me, just one saddlebag, I never desired for a lot of stuff in my life, only the necessities. The dirt roads felt nice on my hooves, back at Dodge, I kept stepping on rocks on every dirt road in town, I never stopped complaining about it.
I was on my way to the house that I purchased a week before my birthday through an ad I found laying around inside my home back at Dodge, it was within my price range, and it looked nice, so I sent a letter to the owner, offering to buy the house. The day before my birthday, I received a reply from him, saying that the house is now mine and to move in in the next couple of days. And now, here I am, in a new town, on my way to the new house that I bought, ready to live in mental solitary.
A pink mare appeared in front of me, I almost bumped into her because I wasn't paying attention to where I was going, I was too busy hanging my head low in depression, I noticed everypony stared at me, probably wondering why I was so bummed out. I was really nervous to talk to her, after everything I've been through, being neglected, ridiculed, and especially hated. But I worked up the courage to say something to her, and I did.
"H-Hi." I said.
The pink mare gasped so loud and ran off in a hurry, I really hope she didn't see through me...
...Did she?
In any case, I resumed my walk, and in a few minutes, I found my new home. I settled in and got comfortable, it was actually really nice, the inside was a lot better than it was in the picture. I went to my bedroom and was ready to take a quick nap, it was long ride from Dodge City to Ponyville, so I laid down and closed my eyes.
In my dreams, I saw the pink mare, I saw what looked like her best friends, they all looked really happy, it was the kind of happiness that I thought I'd never have. But there was something strange, I didn't see any of her secrets, it's like she doesn't hide anything from anypony, how is that even possible? Then the weirdest thing happened, she spoke to me, like she knew I was watching.
"You'll find happiness. Good things come to those who wait." she giggled.
I woke up, surprised by what had just happened, none of that ever happened in my dreams before, what's going on? I heard a noise downstairs, and went to investigate, I was worried who or what might be down there, it could've been a thief, a burglar, or even a deadly creature from that Everfree Forest I heard so much about. I cast all my fear aside and opened the living room door, and I saw something I never expected.
"SURPRISE!"
