Chapter 65: Misty Moves In
At the front door of the Brighthouse, Misty walked up with a box of her things she managed to sneak away from Opaline’s Castle as she smiled at herself.
“This is it, Misty. Your new home!” Misty said to herself as she stopped at the front door with a nervous smile, “And it’s totally not scary at all,” She said as she levitated her box off her back to see that it only had Madam Taffytail and a picture of herself and her friends in a group picture, “Right Madam Taffytail?” She asked her homemade doll, which was tilted a bit.
Misty slowly opened the Brighthouse’s door, but the second she opened it, a blast of glitter hit her, “OH!” She exclaimed in surprise as she got her mane covered in glitter.
“Welcome home, Misty!” Sunny announced as she held a tray of cupcakes, the whole Brighthouse had been decorated with balloons with Misty’s mane color and a banner with her face on it butterflies behind her some snacks on the table Sunset was holding some drinks while Zipp was flew up while Izzy is next to her glitter cannon, which she just shot as she waved excitedly to Misty.
“Surprised!” Sunset added with a wide smile.
“Wow!” Misty exclaimed in awe.
Pipp then flew in front of Misty with a smile, “Hashtag #MistyyyysCominHoooooome!” She sang as she livestreamed it on her phone as Misty smiled.
Misty looked with joy with sparkles in her eyes as she walked inside the Brighthouse her friends came to her, “You, you did all this for me?” She asked them happily.
“You are a friend and one of us, Misty.” Sunset said with a small smile, “We wanted to give you something for you after you the whole spying on Opaline thing and being with us and helping you find your true family,” She explained.
Twilight then appeared from the necklace with a smile, “Yes, you have done well for us, we wanted to return the favor for you,” She said with a smile.
“Wow, this is, amazing,” Misty said with a smile.
“I know, right?” Pipp asked with a twirl with sparkles in her eyes, “You are going to love it here! Come on, we’ll show you to your new room,” She said with a smirk as she guided Misty into the Brighthouse while said Unicorn smiled brightly with sparkles in her eyes.
They made it upstairs and they opened the bedroom doors with Misty’s eyes closed before she opened them, “Presenting your new bed,” Pipp spoke as Misty smiled wide with sparkles in her eyes as she saw the girls with Misty’s bed in the middle of the room as Izzy pulled a confetti horn as some streamers were released.
Misty still gave a smile but was feeling a bit nervous, “Oh, it’s right in the middle. Huh,” She said as she noticed that her bed was in the middle of the room before she hopped on it while feeling overwhelmed a bit.
Izzy came next to her and placed a hoof over Misty, “Uh, it is just so great to have your own space, right?” She asked cheerfully with her cheeks against Misty’s as the rest of the mares jumped on Misty’s bed to join them before Izzy held Misty’s cheeks and squeezed them a bit, “Sorry in advance for the snoring, and the levitating,” She said, warning Misty of when she sleeps, she snores and levitates sometimes.
“It’s true, she does that from time to time, so watch out,” Sunset advised as the rest of the girls nodded in agreement since they’ve experienced it more times than they can count whenever Izzy is levitating something or snoring in her sleep.
Misty gave a nervous chuckle as she rubbed her head and stood up, “Well, I’m sure I’ll get used to it,” She said as she hopped off her bed and levitated her box, “Especially once all my stuff's unpacked.” She added.
“Here, let us help!” Zipp said as she then placed the picture and Madam Taffytail in places around her bed, which was empty before Zipp flipped the box upside down to see if she missed something.
“That was quick,” Izzy commented.
Pipp then gasped as she then stammered a bit, “Is that all you have?” She asked as they all turned to Misty, who was looking embarrassed.
“Well—” Misty tried to say before Sunset answered for her.
“Opaline didn’t let you go out often or give you many things as a filly, didn’t she?” Sunset asked with a concerned look.
Misty gave a sheepish chuckle, “Well, yeah. She really didn’t,” She admitted.
Twilight sighed, “Opaline really is cruel and low to the bone,” She said with a sigh, “Sorry you have been through something like that, Misty,” She added in sympathy.
“That’s okay,” Misty said with an assuring smile, “It’s not really a-” She was then cut off when Izzy appeared in front of her with a gasp and a cheery smile.
“I know!” Izzy said as she turned to Misty, “I can craft you some awesome bedroom accessories so you feel right at home!” She declared as she gave Misty a side hug.
Misty gave an uncertain smile as she gently pushed Izzy back a bit, “Oh, no, you don't have to—” She tried to say before Izzy cut her off.
“I'm going to need glitter, tassels, cup holders, and mood lighting!” Izzy declared as she held up said items with a determined smile and sparkles in her eyes as she cheerfully trotted out of the room as the door closed behind her.
“That’s must Izzy being Izzy, Misty. So don’t try and fight it,” Sunset advised with a chuckle.
“It’s true. Whenever Izzy sets her mind on something, she tends to get it done,” Twilight added with a chuckle as well, knowing that when Izzy thinks of something, she won’t stop until she makes it.
“Um, okay. I guess that’s true,” Misty said in understanding before she gave a small smile, “Wow. Everyone's being so helpful.” She commented as her friends turned to her with a smile.
“Well, you're one of us now!” Sunny exclaimed excitedly as she grabbed Misty by her shoulders, which startled the unicorn, “And you're never, ever, EVER going to be alone ever again!” She declared as she and the rest of the girls joined in the group hug around Misty, who was feeling nervous when she said that.
‘Ever again! Ever again! Ever again!’ Sunny’s voice echoed throughout Misty’s mind, which made her left eye twitch as she gave a nervous chuckle. “Awesome…” Misty said to her friends with a nervous smile.
Sunset saw this and she knew that she had a feeling that Misty might feel uncomfortable about this. “I have a feeling this might be uncomfortable for her,” She said to herself.
A little bit later, Misty was reading a book on her bed when she heard singing before she turned and saw Pipp vocalizing herself and singing loudly, which made Misty clench as she put on some headphones with a song singing as she gave a relieved smile.
Misty walked out of the room while levitating her book to read elsewhere, “Look out! Comin' through!” Zipp called out as she skated by Misty, which caused her to twirl around.
Misty gasped in startled as she got her balance but her book fell on her head while giving a dizzy look.
A short bit, Misty is in the kitchen as she is eating some cereal, “Come... on!” Sunny strained next to Misty, and the Unicorn flinched as she turned and saw Sunny straining to get a bunch of sliced oranges in the blender as she tried to shut the lid.
Sunset, who is next to the table, saw this, “Uh, Sunny, don’t you think it would be wise to just--” She was cut off when Sunny managed to hold it in place and turned on the blender, but then it exploded.
“Aah!” Sunny cried out as orange juice flew out and landed on the three ponies before Sunset gave a dull look.
“--take out some of the oranges to blend it properly,” Sunset finished as she wiped some off her.
Sunny gave a sheepish chuckle, “Okay, I guess I didn’t think that through,” She said sheepishly.
Misty gave an anxious and slightly panicked look as she began to twitch, which Sunset noticed as she gave a concerned look at Misty.
Sometime later, again, Misty is lying on the couch with a blanket over her with a pillow over her head with an anxious look as she tries to block out the sound while the rest of the girls are having a pillow fight as they laugh together.
Sunset noticed this as well, giving a concerned look, seeing that Misty was not feeling comfortable about this.
At night time, everypony is asleep while Misty is in her bed with Madam Taffytail before the doll is levitated out of her hooves, which causes her to wake up and see that Izzy was levitating her doll and herself as she flew around in her sleep with Misty chasing her.
After getting Taffytail back, Misty laid back on her bed as she was about to sleep again, but then a shadow flew over her, she opened her eyes and saw that Izzy was levitating over as she kept snoring.
Misty had enough as she rubbed her mane in irritation, “Glitter… Glitter... Glitter... Glitter...” Izzy muttered in her sleep as her voice echoed through Misty’s head as she grabbed some pillows.
Misty then stacked the pillows around her bed to make a pillow fort as she laid back down and sighed in relief. “Finally, some quiet.” She said as she closed her eyes.
But then, Izzy appeared in the fort, which startled Misty, “Are we having a secret sleepover party?!” Izzy asked excitedly.
“Aah!” Misty gave a startled yell.
Pipp then gasped as she appeared in the fort with her phone out, “I love secret parties!” She exclaimed with sparkles in her eyes.
“I'll make popcorn!” Sunny appeared next as she appeared next.
“I'll eat it!” ZIpp finished as she appeared next.
“What’s going on?” Sunset asked as she appeared as well with a confused look.
Misty had enough of it as she screamed and the pillows fell as the girls flinched at Misty’s outburst before she ran out to the door, “I can't do this! Sorry, but I've never lived with other ponies before, and... and I... need to be alone!” She cried out as she ran out of the Brighthouse.
“Misty?” Sunny said in concern as the girls saw her out the door, they looked out the window and saw that Misty was running to Bridlewood in tears.
“W-What happened? Was it something we did wrong?” Pipp asked in concern as she and the girls looked in concern and slight guilt for what just happened.
“I don’t think so,” Sunset spoke as they turned to her, “I think we were making Misty uncomfortable that she feels out of place being with us,” She said in sympathy for Misty.
“What?” Zipp asked with a brow, “I thought she was having fun the whole time,” She said.
“Have you ponies seen how Misty was lately?” Sunset asked with a brow, “She’s been so anxious and nervous the whole time that she feels uncomfortable,” She pointed out.
The others were surprised by this as Izzy spoke, “But didn’t she set up this pillow fort for a slumber party?” She asked.
“Actually, Izzy, that’s your saying,” Sunset stated, “I think she just wanted some privacy and some peace and quiet, that and you were snoring and levitating again,” She added with a dull look as she gestured to the person items on the floor, “You were moving and grabbing our things again,”
Izzy eyes widen in realization, “Ooooh, woopsies,” She said sheepishly.
“I think we made Misty uncomfortable instead of understanding what she wanted since she’s still new to the group,” Sunset said with a frown as she shook her head, “Oh Celestia, why didn’t I see this sooner? She’s still new and inexperienced on social things, she feels uncomfortable,” She said while shaking her head in shame.
Twilight then appeared from the necklace while giving Sunset a comforting smile, “Don’t be like that Sunset. We all didn’t find out, but right now, I think it’s best to give Misty some space,” She said.
“Yeah, Twilight’s right. And I guess it’s all our fault for making Misty feel this way,” Sunny said in regret, “I guess we were a tad too much for her since she never experienced something like this before,” She added in guilt as she sighed, “I wish we could make it up to her,” She added as they all looked down shame.
Sunset the thought for a moment while looking at Misty’s bed before an idea popped into her head, “I think I know how to make it up to Misty,” She said with a small smile before turning to the group, “Okay ponies, huddle up. I have a plan,” She said as they all huddled together while Sunset explained her plan.
At Bridlewood at the Crystal Tea Room, Misty is sitting on a table while explaining to her father, Alphabittle, about what happened, “It's just too much. All the energy and fun and noise.” Misty said as she clutched her head from what just happened.
Alphabittle was then pouring some hot chocolate for Misty, “Oh, I hear you there, kiddo.” He said as he then put some marshmallows in the hot chocolate, “I like my peace and quiet, too.” He said with an understanding smile as he passed Misty her cup and sat next to her.
“Thanks, Dad.” Misty said to her father with a small smile before she then started slurping on her drink, “I guess I've been on my own for so long and…” She slurps again before continuing, “...it just feels like I don't fit in.” She said with a frown, feeling out of place since she’d been isolated from the outside world since being raised by Opaline.
“Hey, it's okay to be different from your friends.” Alphabittle said with a small smile, “It might take some getting used to, but I promise you'll find your place. Like how Sunset found her when she felt out of place when she first returned to Equestria, and she adjusted well over time,” He assured his daughter with a smile as he gave her a side hug, which Misty smiled as their Cutie Marks glowed.
“Yeah. And you’re right, Sunset did go through something similar like me,” Misty said with a small smile before she frowned again, “Except I'm pretty sure they hate me now.” She added nervously while picturing her friends frowning at her.
A little bit later after leaving Bridlewood, Misty returned to the Brighthouse as the lights were all off while the sunlight shone through the windows as she searched around for her friends.
“Ponies? Sunny? Sunset? Izzy? Zipp? Pipp?” Misty called out as she searched the main room while getting nervous before tears began to form in her eyes, “Oh, no! I'm so sorry! I knew this would happen!” She cried out as she ran upstairs, ‘Of course they left you, Misty! Of course!’ She thought to herself.
Misty entered the bedroom but gasped as she saw her bed in the middle of the room gone while her box stood there she began to whimper and sniffle as she walked around the room before turning and seeing something that made her gasp and smile with sparkles in her eyes that my... my bed?!” She asked herself in joy.
What she saw was her bed in a section of the room with pictures, flowers, and butterfly themes with her color schemes as Misty rushed to it with joy, “Oh! It's so cozy!” She exclaimed before going to a curtain as she opened it around her bed, “And private!” She added before she saw a projector on her bed, “Wait. What's this?” She asked in curiosity as she pressed the button and played the projector.
The projector then showed a video before she gave a smile, “Say cheese!” Sunny announced as she and the rest of the Mane 7 huddled together while holding cakes, while Izzy was making a silly face while Hitch was eating his cake.
Misty gasped with sparkles in her eyes and a smile as she placed a hoof to her chest, remembering this day before the screen changed.
“And then to the left! And to the left! And pah! Pah! Pah!” Pipp instructed as she taught Sunny, Sunset, and Misty how to dance as she and Misty waved their hooves. “You've got it, Misty!” She exclaimed as Misty kept watching with a warm smile.
And then the scene changed when they were all having ice cream while Pipp then giggled at Misty as she turned to show that there was some ice cream on her face, “What? What? Is there something on my face?” Past Misty asked in amusement as Pipp started laughing.
The scene then changes to when Sunset is teaching Misty some magic lessons, which is hard for her to do since during that time, she didn’t have magic or her Cutie Mark since she was spying for Opaline, as she tried to focus, but failed as she strained a bit.
Sunset then places a comforting her on her shoulder while giving a warm smile to Misty, “It’s okay, Misty. I had trouble mastering magic as well. But don’t worry, you will get there, and who knows, maybe to Sunny or Izzy’s level,” She assured with a chuckle.
Past Misty gave a chuckle from that as well, “Yeah, you might be right, Sunset. You’re a great mentor, no wonder you are an Alicorn,” She said with a small smile.
“Well, I have friends to help me get where I am today,” Sunset said with a smile before frowning, “When I first returned home to see how much had changed, with all my old friends and family gone, I felt out of place and having trouble moving on from the start when I just came to visit my old friend Twilight,” She said with a solemn look.
“Oh, sorry to hear that,” Past Misty said in sympathy for Sunset.
Sunset then gave a smile, “But that’s okay. Even with them gone, I least their legacies live on, especially since I see Sunny and the others more like my friends each passing moment, and sometimes you remind me of Fluttershy from time to time because of your, shyness and timidness. Trust me, Hitch may have Fluttershy’s ability to talk to animals, but he’s not as shy or timid as Fluttershy was,” She added as the two chuckled, “But still, I learned that once you accept changes and get along with your friends, new or old, you will know you will never feel out of place for anything and that if you keep moving forward, things will be brighter for you,” She added.
Past Misty gave a smile at Sunset’s words as she nodded, “Thank you, Sunset. I’ll remember your words by heart,” She promised.
“Hoof to heart,” The two ponies said together as they tapped each other's hooves and placed them on their chests.
Misty smiled with tears of joy in her eyes at that memory, remembering the lesson Sunset taught her like how her father just explained to her as she continued to watch the memories she had with her friends.
(Up song)
(Izzy)
If you're down, down, down
Just look up, up, up
“Hey, Misty!” Sunny exclaimed from the video as it showed her and Izzy eating some cakes while Izzy smiled with her mouth full before it showed the Mane 7 and Sparky cheering in a snowy forest.
(Izzy)
You know that I got you
Even when it's tough
Misty smiled tearfully at the memories warmly as her Cutie Mark begins to glow again, “I do fit in!” She said happily.
.
“Uh…” Izzy’s voice is heard as Misty turns and sees Izzy at the curtain, “is there room for one more?” She asked with a small smile.
Misty smiled at Izzy, “Sure!” She answered.
Sunny then appeared, “How about five more more?” She asked as Sunset, Zipp, and Pipp appeared with small smiles.
(Izzy)
If you're down, down, down
Just look up, up, up
You know that I got you
Even when it's tough
Misty gave tears of joy at her friends before she giggled and allowed her friends in as they all watched the videos of their times together and they all started laughing as the mares’ Cutie Marks began to glow.
If you're down, down, down
Get back up, up, up
Never on your own
'Cause you've got us
The girls all kept laughing while watching their silly and good times on the screen before they all smiled with teary eyes as they all huddled together they started glowing and kept watching their memories, as Misty teared up the most since she felt touch at her friends’ being there for her and being great friends as they all enjoy their moment together.
End of Chapter 65.
It seems Misty has finally fit in and whenever she feels down her friends will always bring her back into the light. Especially when she uses the magic of friendship.
11738934
Yep that is true, it was rough at first but now I’m happy for her
Well I'm glad that she finally have a home that she is more welcome
Poor girl she's really been alone for a long time and she really feels awkward still
11738948
Same here, she’s getting what she always wanted
11738949
Yeah, she missed out a lot and is nervous
Hmm sounds like how Pinkie Pie would have done
She really has the worst case of antisocialist
Despite all that she is pretty strong to lift herself while she's still unconscious that's impressive
Again it really damaged her really badly throughout her years being alone
Wow she really run really fast to bridlewood but it's also nice that she can still talk with her father
Whoa Misty don't think that way I'm sure the others will never think of you like that
11738971
Yep
11738973
Can’t blame her, she’s still new to these experiences and was always alone
11738974
That is true, wow Misty is really emontionally affected
11738979
She sure did
11738985
She really needs help
Ah man. This was a really emotional chapter. Not much I can say that other reviewers haven't already said better, but I DID like the work you put into Sunset and Twilight's contributions to the chapter in addition to the canon stuff.
But, anyway, really looking forward to more of this.
11739176
Thanks
It seems you got your story added to a group
Sunny
11739278
I know, and proud of it
That theory still going on that the Equestria moves faster than our world
11739285
Thanks
11739330
That is true
Awww I would say that's a pretty nice chapter here so it looks like Misty finally got the chance to move out of that castle and moving in with sunny and the others which she really needs it after being with that crazy alicorn for almost her life and the girls were pretty more welcoming than ever but she still feels a little awkward and nervous about this whole attention and as much as they did try to make her feel more welcome she still feels out of place and apparently Sunset kind of notice it but didn't really thought about it until Misty finally hit her breaking point that she couldn't take it and the others were pretty confused about why until sunset explain how much Misty spent her life alone and everything without any contact with anybody aside from Opaline and she's not really the nicest person so they developed another plan meanwhile Misty visit Alphabittle which that's pretty nice and even talking about it and after that conversation she went back learning that the others are not there and she felt like she's been abandoned again but when she got there she's starting to have some flashback about the others and once that they invite her to watch some TV hopefully this will be a brighter future for her this was a pretty nice chapter I wonder what else could happen I guess we'll find out next time
11739335
That sums up the entire chapter, glad you like it and it was emotional for Misty
11739325
Congratulations friend
It's happening again, isn't it?
11744659
Yeah, I refreshed my youtube account many times and check the wiki and no new TYT episode
11744670
Not even screenshots on derpibooru.
11744676
Wow, they really need to make up their minds
11744677
Now it's up.
11744730
Great, getting started on it now
11744732
Question
Do you just transcribe the episode onto the chapter and then add shimmer or no?
11744931
Well, I have to write them somehow, but I do make some twists and add Sunset in them at certain points, and some extras on them while also watching the show
11744934
Got it!
Honestly, I'd have freaked out too if I had to move in with a new roommate. I was at boarding school, so I know the feeling.
Wow, glad to see they threw a surprise party for her.
Can't argue with that logic.
True, but she is cute when she does that.
And I thought Cozy Glow had issues, and she was a full on sociopath.
Kind of like Pinkie Pie on a good day.
I know how you feel Misty. It's really hard to get your own privacy when sharing a room with others.
*shaking my head* Mmmm, mmmm, mmmm.
Amen to that.
I love my family and all, but sometimes it's just too much for me to get a handle on a lot of things.
And that's why Sunset will always be my favorite pony/human.
#adorbs.
Now that was sweet.
Even if it was overwhelming, I'm glad they were able to find a compromise.
11746452
Heh, now that’s convenient
