Run of the plague

Ch 3 getting settled in

Luna and I walked back to the building where I left them at. When we got there, Luna led me the Library. Twilight was taking notes, and looking through books and Spike was sitting in a beanbag, reading a comic. I cleared my throat, Twilight looked up, and said, “Timber, so glad to see you. I looked in every book on plagues, and there is nothing about what you said.”

I opened my mouth and was about to say something, but Luna said, “Do you have a place for him, or is he going to take your bed?”

I said, as I back away, “It’s fine, I don’t mean to be a nuisance. Is there a place where I can get some clothes, a coat, and some gloves. If I’m going to be here for I while, and be a vet. I need a sanitized place to work.”

Twilight placed her stuff down and walk over to me and said, as she motioned me to follow her “I do have another room. and after I show the room, I can take you to a friend of mine. Is it okay if you work at a hospital, or do you need some place secluded?”

I said, as I followed her, “If I’m going to be working with ponies, I’m going to need a place secluded, and the best machinery, x ray, a strap table, and other machinery.” When we walked into my room, I was shocked at what I saw, a king sized bed, a desk, with reference books of all kinds, a night table, with a lamp and a drawer.

Twilight shut the door, and said, as she walked to the front door, “It’s not that fancy. Come on, lets go get your clothes going.”

I ran up to her and said, I was wondering, if there is an abandon place to make my work.”

Once I walked outside, I was tackled by something pink.  Once my vision cleared, I saw the pony was pink with I think hot pink mane and tail that was all puffed up. She said, “Hi there, you must be the human that came today, I was on my way to visit Twilight to ask where you were to say hello and tell you that I’m going to make you a party, I must get the party going, it will be tomorrow night.” Then she jumped off of me and bounded away.

As I caught my breath, Twilight said, “That’s Pinkie. She can sometimes be a bit random. Let me help you up.” She held out her hoof, and I grabbed it, and was lifted onto my feet. When we arrived a building that looked a little weird,  it looked different than the other building, Twilight  said, “Here we are.” Then walked in.

I stepped to hear someone or pony say, “Welcome to the Carousel Boutique, how may I help you?”

I turned the voice, coming down the stair was a white unicorn with purple mane and tail, that was curled. Twilight said, “Hi Rarity, Timber here needs some clothes done
I said, “I was wondering if you could make me some dark blue pants, some pajamas, some shirts, few white coats, and, if possible, some gloves.”

Rarity said, as she took some measurements, “Of course I can. It might take me awhile, but if I don’t get any sleep and don’t take any breaks, I can have it done in two day.”

I said, “Take as long as you want, I still don’t have any currency. What do you pay with?”

Twilight said, “We pay with bits, and I will be paying for it.”

I said, as we left, ‘Nice meeting you Rarity. Is there and abandon building. I can use as my work.”

Twilight said, ‘There is one, but it’s in need of repairs.”

I said, “It’s fine, will keep me busy.” Then it started to rain, but when I looked around, it wasn’t raining anywhere else. “Okay this is getting ridiculous, now the rain wants to say hello?”

Twilight said, with a sigh, “No, that would be Rainbow Dash. Quit making it rain, he already had a hard day.”

The rain stopped , and I felt the sunshine on my back. I looked up to see a cyan colored pony, with rainbow colored mane and tail, pushing a cloud away. The she said, as she rested on another cloud. “I can have fun, plus he looked tense and he needed to cool down.”

I said, “I was calming down before you made it rain on me. How do you do that, how did you push the cloud away, and how are you staying on a cloud?”

Twilight said, “Pegasi can control clouds. Come on, I think I know a pony that might help you with animals.

I said. as I followed her, “Is your friend crazy, or a jerk?”

Twilight said, “Nope, but she is shy.”

As we walked. I said, “Twilight could you tell me about this place, I know it’s ponyville, but what about the other places?”

Twilight said, “There is a lot of places, but the ones that I think you will need to know is Canterlot, and Crystal empire.. Here we are.”

I looked up and saw a small cottage. I turned to Twilight and said, “That is where your friend lives. Then again, she is shy, so why not secluded as well.”

When we got to the door, Twilight knocked on the door, and a yellow pegasus in long pink mane and tail. She said, “Twilight, it’s so good to see you.” Then she saw me, she shrank back a bit and said, really quiet, “Um, hi.”

Twilight said, “It’s good to see you too Fluttershy, this is Timber, he will be needing your help with animals, since you know their habits and personality.”

I nodded, and said, “Pleasure to meet you, and yeah, since I’m new here, I don’t know a lot about the animals here. So, if you could help me understand about some of the animal’s problems, when they arrive, I appreciate it.”

Twilight said, “It’s getting late, it was nice seeing you.” Then started off the her home.

I waved goodbye, as I followed her. Fluttershy said, something that I couldn’t hear. When we got back to her home, I said, “Just out of curiosity, is this a castle, since you are a princess?”

Twilight said, as she entered what I guess was her bedroom, “Yes it is. Well, see you in the morning.” Then shut the door.

I walked to my room, I’m going to be staying here for a while, so why not call it my room, closed the door behind me, fell onto my bed and fell asleep.
