there was a distant sound on a distant day of a distant year....
5 years ago, the long road to no-where in particular
i left the village, cold and alone.
i had nothing left for save the memories.
the memories of her, had i known that she was leaving.
for a young Colt, i was more of an adult than any of the others.
it was apparant that not alot of ponies actually cared what i did.
i continued walking, occasionally stopping to find shelter from the rain.
hearing the sounds of a barrow being drawn through the rain, i jumped out.
"Excuse me sir, could i grab a lift?" i asked.
the old stallion simply smiled. "sure, i could use the company but... arent you a little bit young to be out on your own"
"no sir, i'm just... well... Orphaned really" i summed up the best i could.
"hop in the back, i'll take you to the nearest City"
the streets of manehatten, 2 years ago
it had been roughly 3 years since i left Colten, making my new home under the stars....
scratch that, there were no stars to be seen in Manehatten, the city itself was overflowing with light.
i used to sing on the sidewalks for money, completly accapella. when one mare or stallion would through a coin my way, i simply smiled, thanked them and carried on. others would pay me to shut up and move on.
but then again, most simply walked on by. i sighed.
i wasnt the best singer in the world, i knew that... but i had saved up enough to buy myself a steel string acoustic guitar.
i took up my usual spot and sat down.
Ponyville Hospital, Present day
i played the same song i played two years ago.
it relaxed me, reminded me of what i was here for.
the Nurse had finally stopped listening to the music, "so, how long have you been playing for?"
"eh... two years" i didnt go further.
"really? thought it would have been longer than that" she placed a tray on my lap.
"oh, erm...thank you" i blushed slightly at the hidden compliment.
i after slowly destroying a meal, i stared wistfully out the window.
three more days and i was free.
it had been three days.
i had finally arrived at my new home, all my things were already there...
considering i hadnt really got alot to put in the house at all.
i sat down on the floor, feeling glad i didnt go and spend all the money earned from the busking days.
"thank the heavens i was a savvy saver" i mirthed to myself.
there was a knock on the door.
i got up and answered. "Hello, My name is Derpy Hooves," i looked at her for a moment, she was a pegasus.
but then i noticed her eyes, a golden yellow colour, and strangely unfocused.
"ummm hi, im Blueberry Bass" i smiled.
"you noticed my"
"eyes, sorry.... but they inspired a song" i smiled weakly.
she raised an eyebrow. "wha? -welcome to Ponyville, either way"she trotted off.
i began to write.
not knowing a pair of striking Blue eyes filled with tears, watching me.
Pinkie is watching Blueberry Bass....STALKER! Nah jk
good song choice The story is really good the only thing that bothers me is the chpaters are so short but then again they have me wanting more so its a good thing right?
