The Crazy Convoluted Journey of Sweets and Mint Tear

by Madman Stories CO


Every journey begins with a single step

"What do we do now s-sis?" Mint Tear asked as she and her sister looked at their family's graves

Sweets sighed "we find a new home... I was thinking we could go to Ponyville, I've read it's a nice place." She said smiling ever so slightly and adjusting her glasses

Mint Tear looked at her sister and nods she always was a follower "o-okay... we should get some supplies before we set of... " She said as the both drew hearts in the dirt of their family's graves. After saying they're final goodbyes to their family they went to the advanced general goods store

"How can I help ya?" The old pony behind the counter asked looking down at the two fillies

"Umm were j-just getting some supplies." Mint Tear said nervously due to the fact she was quite shy

"Hmm I think we got everything." Sweets said putting a large number of adventuring items on the counter it was everything from grappling hooks, to a Bowie Knife

"Huh let's see that all comes out to 100 bits." Said the old pony. Mint Tear nodded and put 100 bits on the counter

"Okay sis let's go!" Sweets said stuffing all the stuff into one saddle bag it looked the same size as it did before this puzzled Mint but she didn't have time to question it as her sister was pulling her out of the store faster then you could say 'Great Wickering Stallions'

Mint Tear was nervous but nodded knowing they'd be fine, cause when Sweets did something in the end it usually turned out okay "so sis which way is Ponyville?" Mint asked

"Well... let's see if we take the train it should take us right to Ponyville, it'll probably be a 2 or 3 day ride since we're all the way in Fillydelphia." Sweets said as they walked towards the train station. As the two walked to the train station they stopped for one last Fillydelphia Cheese Steak

"I'm gonna miss these." Mint said sighing munching on her Cheese Steak as they walked

"Yeah but I can make you them if you want." Sweets said reassuringly and giggles

"Are you sure she'll be okay?" a soft, concerned voice asked in Sweets head

"Yeah Shy I'm sure, once we get to Ponyville she'll feel a bit better." Sweets said to the voice in her head

Mint didn't think anything of it "Just sis being weird, like always." She thought as they approached the train station

"Hello there fillies you looking to travel today?" The Ticket Vendor asked looking down at them

"Yes Sir! we need two tickets to Ponyville." Sweets said politely as the Vendor gave them their tickets. Mint paid for the tickets and they sat down and waited for the train to their new home
