At the M.L.P. Con!

by Ponyess

Into the Con, an Introductory Monologue, of Sorts: 2

This was the original series? At least, it's what it looks like. We're all looking alike, short of these two details? I had chosen black, then a white cloud with a yellow bolt of lightning.

I only had relatively simple images to choose from. Why the symbols had to be this simple; I can't recall if they told me, or if they explained.

Choosing my mark and my colour, just felt right at the time. I know; there are numerous original ponies, to choose from. I imagine every last pony, ever to set a hoof in as much as a single sketch would be available. Every pony from the original show had to be there, every last one of them. Then I noticed; that I had a chance to choose from even more ponies from the Comics; I just had to pay a small fee for this additional Option.

Now as I think of it; I said Colour, and not Fur. I have no fur, just as they did not have in the show. With that in mind, neither can we? I have a mane and a tail. That's that.

Thinking of it, I can't really recall who I was before I had entered the convention. I guess I had loved the show; whichever series, or film. Or I had come here with a friend, or friends who do, or did? Maybe, it's no difference?

I couldn't leave, there is no way getting out of the set. The building is huge, enough space; for not just a village, I think we have several villages. Not all the ponies did live in the same village, even if they were in the same show?

Looking at it, it's a pretty place and the weather is good. I can see the sun reflecting in my flank. As a pony, I can see almost all the way around; just behind my back is not in view. I only have a clear perspective, in a narrow field forwards. Guess I can make due; at least I can see where I'm going, trotting or galloping.

I'm happy and in a good mood you'd see, simply by looking at my ears. Or, I wouldn't even need to mention; since we're all ponies here, now. I know what it is to be a pony. What I knew of it before, has no bearings here.

I had chosen a mark of a Pegasus, a weather Pony. What had escaped me, I'm not a Pegasus by the looks, I'm an Earth Pony.

Author's Note:

I leave room for a chapter before current chapter, but after the Prologue.

I'll change this chapter, once I get to it.

If you have an Opinion, pease let me know what you think, then I may change it if needed.

4683066 The 'Prologue' was pressed into serice a bit too hasty in order to explain how the story is to fit with MLP.
Ah yeah, this story isn't exactly the most popular of my stories, I can give you that.

It does look bare, now as you put it that way, once I have had the time to give it a second look.
I try to address this issue as best I can right away, in hopes it will explain a few things aside from making it a more interesting read, while I am at it.

Affording the photos lining my walls a glimpse, reminding me of countless precious moments in my past, all the way back to my very first party, the one awarding me the three balloons on my flanks. Happily ignoring the bed stand, momentarily smiling at the wardrobe, holding all my famous party décor and other festive and amusing toys or comedy gimmicks I had gathered under the many years as the one party pony of Ponyville.

I made a few adjustments to the beginning of the chapter, if I find anything I can make better later, I'll slip in more changes along the way.

How long the chapter will take to go over depends on how many times it takes to reach the end of the chapter.
I could write a chapter twice or thrice as long in a matter of hours.

I just try to do my bnest at each and every time I add something to a story, though I would have enjoyed a somewhat warmer reaction from time to time.

If you do find a story, anywhere near as good as that, I would love to hear about it.
There are a few things in the show that feels a bit fuzzy.
I just had to think back at the scenes where this particular building had been in view. Pinkie Pride does show her passage as she came back home from that Party, if I'm not entirely mistaken.

4704259 Thanks.
Just a small observation; 'Affording a Glimpse' is hardly the same as 'Admiring'?

I may have to go over this again, in order to tie it all up, once I have 'Completed' the chapter again.

Seems you got back before I had the time to go any further, but I do enjoy the suggestions and samples, everything you put into it in helping me making the story more then merely worth reading.

Ah yeah, guess I needed a reminder, since it isn't exactly what I do every day, though I can enjoy going to a café from time to time. There is a special logic to how i opperates. I am also a bit fuzzy on how this would work in Ponyville.

by the looks, you missed 2 critical details, it is neither Spike, not Equestria.
I use the Chapter-breaks for swapping PoV's. You did noice the refference to 'Bank-Notes'?

There is a refference to Twilight turning into a Human, when passing the gate to Canterlot High, if I am not entirely mistaken.
Spike would have been seen as a kid at best, no chance trading a pile of gems in a serious store?

Still, if you managed to miss it by that much, maybe there is something that needs to be done in order to prevent others to make the same set of mistakes?

If I am not mistaken, from what you read, I should have put up a Spike flag on the story, wouldn't you agree?

I hope my hints, details and refferences are not to subtle or coy for the main group of readers to catch on.

Oh but wait, the character and store still does deserve a few details to them, at the time of introduction, seems I managed to miss it.

Sorry, this isn't the Postal office.
the Prologue is supposed to set up the scene for a con she is booking.
