"Alright, I'm headin' to school now!" I say, waiting for an answer from my brother. "Kay, I'll see you at three forty!" He replies, he really is a cool brother. I pick up my bag and slip my forelegs through the straps and head for the door. "Hey!" I hear my brother walk up to me, I turn around to see him with his hoof pointed towards me. A caring look comes to his eyes as a smile crosses his lips. "Have a good day at school, bro." He says this as he places his hoof over his chest. I proceed to do the same with my hoof, "You know it, thanks bro." I open the door that leads outside. Running on my rear legs, fore hooves at my side, I go down to the first corner. I stop and turn to see Crimson at the window, I wave my hoof and keep running to my school. It's a long way, but I like the run. I get to see the new spa that's being built, the bakery, and the best fruit-sales-stallion ever. "Yo, Apple Basket, how's business?" I ask, I walk up to the stand to see a light-brown stallion with a green mane and tail. He's quite taller than me when I'm on all fours, but that's not very comfortable to me. His cutie mark is a basket with several fruits, not just apples. "Hey Scar, business could be worse. So what do you want?" He speaks with a low monotone voice, but it seems to sound wise. He places an open sign on the counter and opens up some large baskets that are just full of fruit. "I'll have the usual. So, I hear you have relatives in Ponyville." I say, I'm going to Ponyville in four days, might as well get to know some of the residence before I get there. "Why do you ask? Oh yeah, your moving on Friday. Yeah, in fact my great-aunt runs the farm there." He replies, he puts 'the usual' in a small basket for me. "I'll make sure to put in a good word for you, if you're lookin' for a good job," He says this with a smirk on his face, "But than again, you'd have to be tall in order to actually do anything there." What did he just say? I take the basket from the counter and look at him, "I don't have to be tall to do what I want." I spat, hint of annoyance in my voice. However, it wouldn't hurt to make some coin while I'm living in Ponyville. Plus, what I want to do doesn't really pay much. "You know what, I might take you up on that offer, there must be something that a pipsqueak can do that they themselves can't." I turn and run towards my school. Wait a minute! I turn again and run straight for Basket, "I almost forgot," I pull out ten bits and place them on the counter. "See ya later." I wave my hoof as I run for my school. I hear a chuckle as I run to the corner. It's been a few minutes of running, not really anything new for me. A cat tried to take my food, and I saw a few dogs, but that's about it. I can see my school off in the distance. It's a pretty big school, considering I only see, like, ten other colts and twenty fillies come here as well. I make it to the school. Thinking must be late, I can't see any other children, I look up at the clock on the door. "Holy crap, I'm way early!" I yell. The clock says seven, just seven, school begins at eight. I must be getting faster. "What do I do now?" I ask no one in particular. I have no idea what to do, I'm an hour early for school, and there isn't much one pony can do at seven. I look down at the ground and sigh. "I guess I'll just sit here and wait for more ponies to show up." I sit down on the step of the front door, place my head on my right hoof, and wait. Let the wait begin.
