Artie's POV:
Well, everypony, I've finally gone and done it.I moved outta my mom's place. And yeah, you could say whatever you want. You could say I'm a loser or whatever, considering I'm a full-fledged stallion. I wouldn't care, though. I don't let anypony get me down. Anyway, I moved out. I searched for the longest time trying to find the perfect place.
Then, I came across this little town called Ponyville. "Hm. Not a bad lookin' town." I said to myself. While I was flying over this bustling town, I noticed a house that had a "For Sale" sign on the outskirts And just to clear things up, I'm not a very shy pony. Back in Idahoof, I've had lots of friends. I lived close to the edge of the city there too. I didn't mind though, considering I've been one of the only pegasi in Idahoof to live on the ground. With his mom, no less. So, I was checkin' out this house and I noticed I had enough bits to pay for it.
After I realized I had enough bits, I grabbed the "For Sale" sign and wrote a letter to the previous owner. When he wrote back, saying thanks fo rbying the place and that he thought of moving to a retirement home in Canterlot. Must be a pretty old stallion I thought. So, I packed my things, went to a moving chariot company, made a deal with them to move my things to Ponyville and said goodbye to my friends and family. I told them I'd write and come visit as much as possible. When I'm not busy with my drawings and things.
(And since I forgot to tell you my name, it's Artie. I have a deep blue coat and wings, my mane and tail are blonde. My cutie mark is a paint palate with six primary colors (purple, blue, green, yellow, orange and red) with a pencil underneath. And behind my glasses are eyes of a deep green.)
Now, back to me moving to Ponyville. It took the moving ponies and I about a day or so to get there. Since we were tired alot of the way, we crashed at a hotel for a night. After we paid for our rooms, the moving ponies, which were of course pegasi, strapped themselves in the reigns of teh moving chariot while I few beside them.
After another hour or so, we finally made it to my cozy little new home in Ponyville. It's kind of a domed shape with an iron chimney and a wood/straw roof. it had a brownish color on the panclling surrounding the outside of the house and it had a burghandy door with a rusty brass handle and knocker. After I got done admiring the exterior of the house and helping the moving stallions with the rest of my stuff inside, I paid them with a good sum, and walked into my new home. I went to bed, fell asleep, and wondered what the next day would bring.
...
When I woke up the next morning to the soundsof various animals and a beautiful singing voice of a mare. "Sounds like she must live next door," -I thought- "she must be as pretty as her voice."
I quickly but quietly flew to my bathroom to comb my mane and tail.
Hey, if she was as gourgeus as I hped, I didn't want her to hear me fumbling around my new place like an idiot. so, I kept calm, took a quick shower, had some breakfast, I brushed my teeth and made sure I was as presentable as ever.
I walked outside to see if the mare was still in her yard. Sure enough, she was.
And she was pretty cute. Long flowing pink mane and tail, and a bright yellow coat with three pink butterflies as her cutie mark. While walkin' up to her, I was thinkin' of what to say. Before I thought about what I was doin', I walked up and said: "Hey, I'm your new neighbor," rather out of the blue. She let out a squeal of surprise as she turned around.
"Oh sorry. I didn't mean to scare ya." I said apologetically.
"Oh, it's okay." she said. She's very quiet when she's not singing I thought.
"Well, uh, I just moved in next door last night. i just wanted to drop by and say 'hello'."
"Oh. Okay. Hello." said the yellow pegasus mare.
"Oh, I've forgot to ask you your name." I said.
She muttered something that was almost inaudible. "What?" I asked.
"My name is Fluttershy." she said a little louder.
"Fluttershy?" I asked. She nodded, scrapin' th eground with a forehoof. "Well, my name's Artie." I said. "Nice to meet you Fluttershy."
Fluttershy blushed and hid behind her mane. Heck, I though. She sure lives up to her name. That's when I noticed her eyes. They were a kind of a light sky blue color, with a hint of aquamarine and some light green.
Just then, I was taken by a flurry of fluffy pinkness. "GAH!!" I screamed as a hyperactive pink mare was standing over me.
"I saw you talking to Fluttershy, and I thought 'Hey, I never saw that stallion before!' and I thought I should throw you a 'Welcome to Ponyville' party!!" The pink mare said non-stop as she bounced around. I groaned in pain as my back acted up again.
Fluttershy trotted over to help me up onto my hooves. "Oh my goodness, are you okay?" she asked.
"I guess so," I said as I realigned my back and thanked Celestia my wings still worked.
"What was that about?" I asked Fluttershy. "Oh, that's Pinkie Pie," -she said- "she's the party pony around here. When somepony new moves in, she throws them a welcome party."
"Huh," -I said- "that's nice of her."
"I guess so." said Fluttershy timidly.
"Even though she came outta nowhere and tackled me, she doesn't seem too bad." I said.
"Oh my gosh!" said Pinkie, suddenly. "I gotta get stuff ready for the party!! Bye guys!!" Then Pinkie sped off.
"Um..." I heard from behind me.
"Oh!" I said. I almost forgot about Fluttershy. Stupid stallion, I thought to myself. "Yes Fluttershy?" I asked as I turned around to face her again. "Um... I was wondering. Are you really gonna go?" She asked.
"Why not?" I asked. "First day in a new town and I"m already makin' new friends." I smiled at the thought. I gotta admit, I am pretty likeable.
"You want to be friends?" Fluttershy asked. "With me?" That's weird, she seemed surprised.
"Sure." I said. "Why not? You seem really nice."
"Oh, uh... thank you." She said as she turned away and blushed. "You're welcome." I said.
Then I remembered something. "Uh... I don't know when or where the party is." I confessed to Fluttershy.
"Oh." She said. "They're usually held at six p.m. over at Sugar Cube Corner, the same night when Pinkie meets the new pony."
"Okay." I said. Then I added, "Wait, where's Sugar Cube Corner? I still don't know my way around here. Would you mind helpin' me get there when it's time?"
"Oh. Um... Okay." Said Fluttershy.
"Okay, see ya later then." I said as I walked back to my place. "See you later." She said, man, she's quiet, I thought.
