After I read Luna’s letter I got thinking! Why is Celestia ruining everything??? She is now corrupting Canterlot and destroying everything!!! I would go back but things are kind of bad there. I decided to go explore ponyville! I walked and found myself at a pretty little shop. I walked into the shop and found a high society pony.
“Welcome to Carousel Boutique! Where everything is chic, unique, and magnifique!” the sophisticated pony said.
“Hi! I am Crystal Charmer” I said. 
“Why hello darling! My name is Rarity!” the sophisticated pony said.
“Nice to meet you Rarity! I am new here and I just came from Canterlot!” I said.
“Oh how nice! My pff came from Canterlot to! Her name is Twilight Sparkle!” Rarity replied.
My heart dropped again. Twilight Sparkle? Princess Celestia’s most “Prized pupil??? Well great! Wherever I go Celestia follows me!!!
“Oh...cool.” I replied in a sad tone.
“Wait! Did I say anything wrong???” Rarity asked me.
“No! I just am a bit...um…homesick!” I came up with my best excuse!
I ran back to my house dissapointed that I may have to leave this nice town! But then a thought came to me! What if enough ponies wanted me to be Princess instead of Celestia! Then I could have my kingdom back! I was very happy by this thought to I went to dinner! I went to this place called Sugar Cube Corner. I met a pony named Pinkie Pie and well...she was intresting! She invited me to come over to her house tomorrow and I accepted just to make friends! And also to build an army, but I decided not to tell anypony that just yet! I mean what if Pinkie knows Twilight and is her friend?? Then I would be turned in! I decided to call it a night! The next day I woke up to the sound of birds chirping! I thought, oh what a wonderful day to spend with Luna!! Then all my memories came rushing back to me, all of my days! Even my past! Then I remembered about my bunny, Lulu! So I jumped out of bed and went to go feed her! After that I went to Pinkie’s place to “hang out” 
“HIIII!!!!!” Pinkie said to me.
“Umm...Hi pinkie??” I replied. 
“How did you sleep? Huh Huh??” Pinkie said excitedly.
“I slept very well thank you! How about you?” I asked.
“I slept terrific” Pinkie answered.
“I have to go to my work now! PARTY PLAN!!!!!” she said.
“Kay! I said! Do you think anyplace will be able to hire me?” I asked.
“Hmm...IDEA!!!! Head over to Sweet Apple Acres!!! AppleJack may be willing to hire you!!!!” Pinkie said! 
“Okay!” I replied and left!
On my way to Sweet Apple Acres I ran into, literally, a fast rainbow pegasi!
“Whoh!!! Watch where you are going!” I said shocked.
“Sorry! I was trying to beat the new Cloudsdale speed record! After all, I am Rainbow Dash! The best flyer to ever come out of Cloudsdale!!!!” she told me!
“Okay! Nice to meet you! Which way is it to Sweet Apple Acres?” I asked for I was very lost.
“Oh! Just keep on following this road and you will see it!” Rainbow said. 
“Thanks! See you around!” I said and ran down the road!
I finally got there and I saw a country pony kicking an apple tree.
“Hello! My name is Crystal Charmer and Pinkie said I might be able to find a job here?” I said!
“Howdy! My name is AppleJack and Pinkie was right! I need some help bucking the apple trees and you will get payed 10 bits per hour!” AppleJack said.
“Great! When do I start?” I asked.
“Tomorrow at 7:00 Am sharp!” Apple Jack said.
“Okay! I will be here! I better head home so I can rest up!!!” I said
“See you tomorrow!” AppleJack said.
“See you tomorrow!” I replied and headed home.
I thought about it! All of these ponies seemed very nice and kind that I had met! I for sure liked ponyville more than Canterlot any day! I ate dinner while re-reading the letter Luna sent to me! It felt odd hiding from Celestia. I was also wondering what she was now doing since I was gone! I bet she is trying to make everypony like her!! I felt tired and knew I had a big day tomorrow so I decided to call it a night.
