The next 3 months went better than I expected, the first thing I had to do was to apologize to Pinkie and let me say it was a strange conversation. She lived on the second floor of Sugarcube Corner, when I came into her room her hair was flat because I could swear that it was not. It took a while but I managed to bring up her mood. Then she started talking about a new party but I said I would like to get to known the ponies my way. The only thing she said was okie dokie lokie, I was a little intimidated by that.

I found a tailor, her name is Rarity. I think she trying to be someone she's not but she would make me some new clothes, I'm just glad she's not afraid of me. It took a while for ponines in town to not be afraid of me but when they saw that I helped AJ around town then they became less scared of me. I'm just glad they don't chase me out of town. I got to know more ponies that were stallions, I like to hang out with Mac but he does not talk much.

Their names are: Caramel, Thunderlane, Noteworthy, Time Turner and Comet Tail. A good bunch of guys. I got a new job as well, at a bar the Drunken Pony. I need a drink one day after a hard day on the farm so I asked AJ if she knew of a bar and she suggest the Drunken Pony. 
While I had a drink, began two stallions to make noise and harass some mare's so I threw them out and the owner gave me a job as a bouncer. I get 50 bits per night, and they're up there four days a week. Not bad.

Also one must not forget the girls or mares as they are called here. They were scared me at first but now I get glances wherever I go, it was a little creepy at first but I was not ready to date anyone yet. That was until I met Cheerilee. She has purple fur and her tail and mane was a mix of bright purple? I'm not sure. We've been dating for two weeks now and it has gone well.

I'm glad this place has a library. Golden Oaks library and yes it in a tree, the library is located in a tree. A mare by the name of Sunset Shimme works there, she was a little nervous around me the first few times I was there but she was more comfortable after a while. I borrowed a book about this place and I found out a lot.

It appears that pegasus controls the weather, now that was something I did not believe but when I saw it well I did not believe what I saw. They could even walk on clouds.

Earth ponies were the strongest. Now it was something I believed in when I saw AJ and her brother work on the farm.

Also we come to the part I'm not so fond of: magic. I do not hate magic but the last time I was involved with magic I was almost killed. Unicorn's is the only one who can use magic well almost, alicorn can also use magic.

Alicorn they are a mixture of all 3 pony and they can live for over 1,000 years maybe more, I'm not sure if I believe that. There was one thing I reacted to and that was Nightmare Moon. The story goes that Celestia little sister was so jealous that she let this Nightmare Moon take over and the only way and stop her was to seal her in the moon. Again I'm not sure if I believe it but you never know, but to do that against her own sister is not right.

She used something called the elements of harmony. Honesty, kindness, laughter, generosity and loyalty it was one more but nobody knew what that was, okay. She hid them apparently in The Everefree Forest, lovely. I took several walks in the woods and try and find them and it was very easy. Celestia had put them in his old castle, she's not very clever when she just let them lie there so everyone can take them. But there's something about these stone.

Whether if all this is true or not I do not know but what I do know is she coming back on Summer Sun Celebration. Which is tomorrow. I was on my way to the mayor's office to talk to The Mayor, what she wanted I don't know but I will find out soon because I was there. I went into the bulding that has seen better days, when I entered a mare satt behind a desk. She saw me when I entered.

"Can I help you?"

"Yes. Fox McCloud, The Mayor wanted to talk to me."

"Wait a moment I'll see if she is available."

And with that she went into another room and it was not long before she came back.

"The Mayor will see you now."

I walked into room where she was and behind a desk sat The Mayor. She has light brown fur and gray hair and tail.

"Fox, so good you could come, please sit down."

I sat down on one of the chairs at her desk

"You wanted to talk to me."

"Yes, as you know Summer Sun Celebration is tomorrow and I want you to make sure that everything is in order."

Okay, this I did not expect.

"Why me? There must be someone else who can do it?"

"Everypony is busy with the preparations. Princess Celestia will send somepony tomorrow to check on the clebration but I 'd rather have somepony I trust to do it. In your case a fox."

"You trust me? I've only lived here for 3 months."

"That may be but you have not done anything wrong and I trust you, so will you do it?"

"Why not it can't be that difficult."

"Splendid, here is the list of the tasks for tomorrow."

She gave me a paper with the names and I was shocked at what I saw.

"Is AJ responsible for the food? But she's having a famliy reunion tomorrow."

"She already said yes."

That surprised me AJ is the one who puts family first, I can talk to her later today.

"If there is more then I i'm leaving, goodbye Mayor."

"Goodbye Fox."

And with a walked out of a town hall. When I came out, I looked at the list again. It makes no sense and change the list so much. 

"Hello handsome."

I was taken out of my thought by the voice, I turned toward the voice was coming from and there stood Cheerilee.

"If you trying to make me blush then you have to try better than that."

"Well I tried. I was wondering if you would join me for lunch."

"I'd love to."

And with that, we went to Sugarcube Corner. Once inside, we sat at one of the tables Pinkie bounce up to us.

"Hello you two, what can I get you two?"

I was the first one to respond.

"I'll take the usual."

"Me too."

After so none of us knew what to say, until I remembered something.

"Why me?" She just looked at me. "I know that there is not so many stallions in Ponyville but why me?"

"You're right, there are not so many stallions in this town but that is not the reason why I'm going out with you. You are kind, handsome and you saved me from those 2 stallions three weeks ago."

Then came Pinkie with the food, while we ate we talk about different things. She talked about her family and I talked a bit about what I did before I came to Equestria, but not everything. Then it was time for me to go to work, the boss at the Drunken Pony opened earlier today. She gave me a kiss on the cheek and went home while I went to the bar.

It was night when I arrived at the farm there were many ponies there. They all gave me a strange look but I just ignored them. When I entered the house I went straight to the kitchen and made ​​me some food ate it and went straight up to the guest room, I read a book with Daring Doo before I fell asleep.

Again I was awakened by that freaking rooster. You'd think after 3 months that I was used to this but no. After a shower and breakfast I asked AJ if everything was ready for today they had made ​​all the food yesterday, she thought it was little strange that I asked her about it but then explained to her what my duties was.

Back at my room, I looked at the list again. The food was finished next was weather and Rainbow Dash was responsible, lovely just lovely. Well I'll better get started with it, I went out of the house and walked toward Ponyville.

Meanwhile in Ponyville.

A chariot landed in town and a purple unicorn mare stept out of it. She turned toward the stallions who pulled the Chariot. "Thank you sirs." And whit that they flew up in the air. 'Let's see, I have to find a pony named Fox McCloud, what strange name for a pony. I may as well ask somepony.'

She looked around for someone to ask. She spotted a pink pony coming toward her. "Excuse me." But the pony did just this. She just stood there, she did not understand what just happened.

"I see you just meet Pinkie Pie."

She turned to where the voice was coming from and saw a yellow unicorn with yellow and red mane.

"Pinkie Pie? Who is that?"

"You'll find out eventually. You're new here are not you?"

"Yes. My name is Twilight Sparkle and I'm looking for a pony named Fox McCloud."

"Nice meeting you Twilight my name Sunset Shimmer, Fox lives at Sweet Apple Acres." Sunset pointed in the direction where the farm was. "And he you're looking for is not a pony." And with that she left.

Twilight began to wak toward the farm. 'What did she mean not a pony.' When she arrived she saw many apple trees.

"Can I help you?"

Twilight turned and saw a orange mare with a Stetson hat.

"My name is Twilight Sparkle and i'm lookinn for a pony named Fox McCoud, somepony told me he lives here."

"I'm Applejack and why are you looking for Fox?"

"I am Princess Celesia personal student and I'm here to make sure that everything goes well."

"Well the food is okay and you just misted Fox he went into town to tak to Rainbow Dash. And he's not a pony."

"Thank you. I suppose I'll go back to town."

On the way to town Twilight wondered why they said that Fox was not a pony. She came out of her thought when she heard a voice in the clouds.

"Damn Fox, think he can command me around like that."

She looked up and what she saw was a blue pegasus with raindow mane and tail lying on a cloud.

"Hello, are you ok?"

The pegasus look down.

"Mind your own business unicorn."

Twilight became a little afraid of the pegasus.

"I'm sorry but are you Rainbow Dash?"

"That's me. What do you want?"

"I heard from Applejack that Fox was going to talk to you."

"Yeah, he was her and he told me to remove the clouds from the sky before later in the evening, it's going to be dark so it does not do any thing that there are clouds in the sky."

"So should you do it? Clearing the clouds?"

"I'll do it when I want. You can find Fox in the town hall, he said he was going there next. Just look for the biggest building in town."

After that flew Rainbow away and Twilight went to city hall. 'There are some weird ponies that live here.' Once inside town hall she saw the decoration and well it's was beautiful.

"No, no, no, goodness no."

Twilight saw a white unicorn with purple mane and tail. She had trouble choosing what color she should use. Twilight approached her.

"Excuse me."

"One moment, I'm trying to figure out which color I should use. Red or blue, I'll use blue."

She used her magic to tie a ribbon on the decoration. She turned to Twilight.

"How may I help you dear?"

"I'm looking for a pony named Fox McCloud."

"You know that he is not a pony."

Now began Twilight to get tired of hearing that. 

"Okay, you're the third pony who says 'he is not a pony'. If he is not a pony what is he."

"I'm not sure whether you believe me if I told you dear, by the way what is your name?"

"My name is Twilight Sparkle and I was sent by Princess Celesia to make sure that everything is ready for tonight and berfore I'm looking for Fox McClod."

"Well Twilight I'm Rarity and you just misted him, he said was going to Fluttershy's house. She lives just outside town."

"Thank you Rarity."

And with that she was heading to Fluttershy's house. After a few minutes she heard birds singing, she approached carefully to not scare the birds she hid behind a few bushes and she could not believe what she saw. There sat a fox who was leaning against a tree.

I still looked at this list to try to find out why this Celestia changed it so much, has it something to do with Nightmare Moon?

"What do you think about my birds Fox?"

I was taken out of my thoughts by Fluttershy's voice.

"Sorry Shy I was not listening."

"Did I do something wrong?"

"Don't worry, you did nothing wrong but you who are hiding in the bush can come out."

Out of the bush came a purple unicorn mare with striped mane and tail.

"Can I help you?"

"Yes, are you Fox McCloud?"

"That's me, and you are?"

"I'm Twilight Sparkel and the princess Celestia sent me to make sure that everything is ready for tonight."

Okay that's weird, why do Celestia send this pony to make sure that everything is ready for tonight?

"Well I can assure you that everything is ready so you can just go back to Celestia and tell her that. Now ladies I must find out if Ranibow has done her job." I got up and began to walk towards town. "See you later Shy."

"Bye Fox."

I did not come very far. "WAIT." I turned toward the voice that was Twilight. "Can I come with you I'd like to ask you some questions." I did not know whether she was serious or not but I saw no harm in it.

"Sure, why not." She just squee and had a big smile, oh dear god what have I done. She bombarded me with questions, I tried to answer them as best I could but some were just weird. I'm just glad that Rainbow had removed all the clouds. After that, I showed her where the library was she would borrow a book on the elements of harmony.

Okay that's weird, she must also believe that Nightmare Moon comes back tonight. When we arrived at the library we saw that Sunset kicked Pinkie out of the library.

"For the last time Pinkie you can not have a party here."

"But Sunset there is a new pony in town."

"I don't care, the last time you had a party here so you got cake between the pages of several books, the answer is NO."

Sunset went in and Pinkie got the door right in her face, then she saw us and she was gone.

"Is that normal?" Twilight asked.

"Eeyup. Come on let's asks Sunset about the book while she is in good mood."

Whit that we entered the library. It was a normal library with books.

"Did you not hear what I said Pinkie? No party?"

Sunset came into the main room and she was very angry but then she saw that it was not Pinkie.

"It's just you Fox and Twilight was it?"

"Problems with Pinkie?"

"If you only knew, I spent 30 minutes to get her out of here, I like her but sometimes she makes me crazy. Is there anything I can I help you with?"

"Twilight need a book."

"I need a book about elements of harmony." Twilight answer.

"Sorry, but I'm closing for the day so you have to wait until tomorrow."

"But it is very important."

"Again sorry."

I could see that Twilight was very upset, let's hope that a party can cheer her up.

"Lighten up, let go to Sugarcube Corner to get something to eat."

She just nodded her head and we were on our way. When we arrived it was getting dark outside and it was very dark inside.

"SURPISE."

And here it is one of Pinkie famous party, she came right up to Twilight.

"Hi I'm Pinkie Pie and I threw this party just for you! Were you surprised? Were ya? Were ya? Huh-huh-huh?"

Twilight just stood there because I'm sure she did not understand what just happened. Fortunately Rartiy came and got Pinkie away from her.

"Pinkie darling you are frighten her, why can't you go and play some games."

"Okie dokie lokie."

And with that she was gone. I looked around the room and it looked like half the town was here included Thunderlane and the others, they sat in a corner. I went over to them.

"What's up guys?"

"Not much who is the new pony?" Thunderlane was the one who answered.

"Twilight Sparkle. A mare from Canterlot she is here to make sure that everything is okay until tonight ."

The party was good as usual everyone had fun except for one. Twilight sat in on of the booth alone.

"Do not like the party?" I managed to scare her because she was in her own thoughts.

"No."

"What is the problem then?" I sat down in the booth.

"I do not think you'd believe me if I told you."

"Let me guess, Nightmare Moon" That got her attention.

"How do you know about her?"

I did not get to answer her for Pinkie appeared and said we had go to town hall to watch Celestia reis the sun. Well inside everyone was  ready for the big moment . I was not listening, I looked at Twilight because she was very nervous about something. Then it was time but Celestia did not appear only black smoke. Suddenly a black alicorn appeared, the only thing I heard was: "The night will last forever."

"Oh shit."
