Part 1
As I hauled my trolley onto the station platform I began to grow weary. Where was it? Had I missed it? No, I still have time... Trains are so damn confusing.

A loud holler from a male voice broke my confusion. “Train 22, All aboaaaard!”
Damn, I’m like a mile away. I set into sprint so as not to miss the train; if I did, I would have to wait another 4½ hours until the next one arrived, since there’s only one train from Canterlot to Ponyville. After 15 seconds of sprint I reached the train.

“This is the train to Ponyville, right?” I asked the conductor.

He looked at me with sleepy eyes and nodded while he pointed at a sign suspended from the ceiling. "It's all there, on the sign" he said and continued doing whatever he was doing with his clipboard.

"Ah. Thanks" I said, slightly embarrassed.

On the sign there were times and locations of the trains. Train 22 - Canterlot to Ponyville,
Train 23 - Canterlot to Trottingham, train 24 - Canterlot to Baltimare, and so on.

I made my way inside the train to my seat - 12D. I found it in the other end of the cart I was in. In an exhausted motion, I sat down, putting my luggage on the seat next to me. I closed my eyes to think for a bit. I always close my eyes when I have to think about something big. Helps me concentrate, I guess.

"And now to Ponyville. Mother said we had already been there once on holiday. I don't remember it though, I must have been very young at that time" I thought to myself

"I wanna listen to some music. Luckily that's with me everywhere I go."

I put on my earphones and fired up Green Hay. I began to relax and drum to the rythm as Billie Joe Hoofstrong sang his rebellious tunes.

My drumming was interrupted by a female voice.

"Excuse me, Sir? Is this seat 12B?"

I looked at the mare in front of me as I took off my earphones. She was a unicorn, and had a lavender coat, blue hair with purple and pink stripes and purple eyes. There was something that made her so... Attractive. Somehow, from the moment I laid eyes on her, it's like I wanted to spend my life with her.

I quickly shook those thoughts out of my head as I realized I hadn't answered yet.

"Yes, I would think so, since this 12D" I said and pointed to my seat with a small smile. “Still, it could be 12A or 12C”

She laughed a bit and sat down.

The train began chugging away from the platform.

"Twilight!" A voice cried out.

A green and purple dragon came running down the train aisle. It was young, not even adolescent yet.

"Twilight! There you are! I couldn't find you, you just kinda... Who's that? I thought you said we'd have this cart for ourselves?" He said and pointed at me. Assuming it was a "he" anyways.

"Spike! Don't be rude!" She turned to look at me. "I'm so sorry, he's usually not this uncivil!" She said embarrassed of the dragon's behavior.

Time to turn on the charm, Veno

I smiled at her. "It's alright. I'd be confused too, if I was told I had the cart for myself and some strange pony showed up on my seat" I said.

She chuckled and blushed again. "Well now, strange isn't the word I'd have used. More like charming"

Fuck yeah.

"What's your name?" She then asked me.

"Synthveno... And you?" I raised out a hoof.

"My name is Twilight Magicka Sparkle. But Twilight works just fine" She said and shook my hoof.

"And I'm Spike!" piped the dragon.

We didn’t really know what else to say, so there was silence.

"So, what brings you on the train to Ponyville, Veno?"

I shrugged. "I'm just moving... Wanna see something else than shops and snobs I guess. I was actually born in Bitaly, as you can probably see from my look and hear in the name. We moved to Canterlot when I was 5. My dad got a promotion, you know?"

She chuckled. "If you're Bitalian, then where is your accent?"

"Well, I guess I've outgrown it. I can still make it, though."

I took a deep breath and spoke in a thick Bitalian accent: "So, Signorina Sparkle, why are you here on the treno á Ponyville?"

She laughed loudly and answered "The princess sent me out to supervise the preparations for the Summer Sun Celebration and make some friends along the way. But can you still speak the language then?"

"Certo posso ancora parlare la lingua!"

She clapped her hooves in satisfaction, and to be honest, she did look quite cute.

I smiled over her satisfaction. "Well if the Summer Sun Celebration's being hosted in Ponyville this year I'll probably hear more about you!"

"So what line of work are you in, Veno... If you don't mind me asking?"

"Not at all. I'm a musician. I play the drums, do vocals and I DJ at parties. I've worked together with... Let's see, Vinyl Scratch, Octavia, Justin Timberneigh and Green Hay, if you know them?"

"Oh my gosh I love Justin Timberneigh!" She said ecstatically

"As do I, and actually I've written stories and I've painted some pictures in my time as well. I guess you could call me an artist"

We smiled at each other. I yawned and stretched, and I could hear she gasped loudly just as I started to stretch. Confused, I opened my eyes and noticed that she was gawking at me wide-eyed. Or at my wings and my horn, to be specific.

"You... You're an alicorn!"

I had wondered when she'd notice that.

"Appunto!" I said to her, but got no reaction.

She suddenly realized that she was staring. She blushed, looked the other way and apologized.

"I'm sorry, it's just that I've never had such a conversation with an alicorn, well, yes, with Celestia... but that's nothing like this! So, are you royal or something? You don't look like a prince."
She said as she gave me the elevator-look

Welp, she was right. I don't really look royal. I have a white coat, black hair with dark green stripes through it and bright green eyes. My cutie mark is two drumsticks crossed over a music note. But I'm not tall like Celestia or Luna. Or maybe I am? Nobody has seen Luna in a thousand years, so you can't really be sure.

I smiled at Twilight again.
*Ding - now arriving at: Ponyville*

"Well. I guess this is where we part ways" I said when we had left the train.

She smiled. "I hope I'll see you again!"

"Oh, I’m sure you’ll see me again"
We said goodbye to each other and parted ways while Spike rode on her back.

"Cíao, mia bella!" I managed to say to her before turning around to leave.
What an astonishing mare...
Well... I guess this is where my new life in Ponyville begins.

TWILIGHT'S POV
"Oh my gosh, Spike! Did you see him? He's so cute - did you see his mane? He's Bitalian, a musician, handsome, fit, he has a good taste in music, and charming! I mean, you can't ask for more!" Twilight Sparkle sighed as Spike stuck out his tongue and pointed downwards with his thumb due to too much girly talk.

"Yeah yeah whatever let's just find the library and focus on our task, Twi"

Part 2
Man I'm hungry. I should have taken something to eat when I was on the station. I'll have to ask where I can get some cibo. Wait, I should actually stop speaking Bitalian now.
But still, I don't know anypony here other than Twi though. Damn, I should have asked her before! Whatever, I'll just ask a random pony on the street...
There's one over there, I'll go ask her right now!

I walked up to a pink maned pony.

"Hey, I'm new in town, and I'm kinda looking for a place to eat. Any leads?" I asked her.

She gasped when she noticed me.

*eep!* She hid away behind her mane and backed off.

"Umm? Is there a café nearby or something?"

*eep!* She now completely hid herself behind her mane and played with the ground with her hoof.

"Ooooookaaaaaay... I'll just ask somepony else, then"

I turned around to walk away. *Gasp!* "You're an alicorn! Oh my goodness, I've never even met an alicorn! Where are you from, what's your name?" She almost yelled excitedly.

Right... I almost forgot about that.
She suddenly became a lot more confident, didn't she? I'll answer her questions if it results in food. I am that desperate

"Yes, I'm an alicorn, my name is Synthveno and I'm from Canterlot but I was born in Bitaly. What about you?" I asked the shy-confident pony.

"Wow! I'm Fluttershy... I'm from Cloudsdale, but I live here in Ponyville!" She said still with confidence in her voice, not like before when she was hiding herself away.

Now, a pegasus from Cloudsdale... In Ponyville, on the ground... That's odd.

"Why do you live here in Ponyville as a pegasus, Fluttershy?" I asked her.

"Well, I never was much for flying, and... Oh my, look at the time! I'm sorry, but I have to go and rehearse with my birds for the Summer Sun Celebration! I hope we get better acquainted later Synthveno!" She said with a smile as she trotted off.

"I hope so too, Fluttershy! I'll see you around then! Oh wait, I never got to ask you... Where can I get something to eat?" I quickly asked her.

"Down at Sugarcube Corner! It looks like a big Gingerbread house!" She yelled since she was gathering quite the distance from me at this time.

Fine, Sugarcube Corner it is.. Doesn't sound too fancy. Whatever, I'll go find this place... Somehow.

After asking for directions several times I found it. I was then surprised to be greeted by a pink coated, cotton-candy-like maned pony.

"Hi! I'm Pinkie Pie, and welcome to... *GAAAAASP!*
You're new, aren't ya? Omigosh! Another new pony! Now I've met TWO new ponies today! And he's an alicorn!!
This is just Pinkierific! What's your name?" She asked me quite loudly in my face.

"Pinkiewhatnow?" I said confused.

"Pinkierific! It means the same as awesome, but awesome isn't quite cheerful enough!" She said with big beautiful light blue eyes.

"I see. My name is Synthveno... What can I get to eat here? Fluttershy told me that this was a good place to get some chow"

"Oooh, have you already met Fluttershy, Synthveno?" She asked with a look of interest on her face.

"Well, yeah, I guess you can call it meet..." I said with a little grin on my face.

"Yes, Fluttershy can be a bit... Well, shy sometimes, as her name suggests! Now, we can I get for ya?" She asked me.

I shrugged. "Surprise me. Bring me something I'll like" I said, ‘cause I didn’t really know what was on the menu.

After 5 minutes of waiting she came in with a cake and a teacup.

"Here you go, Veno! I'm sure you'll like it! I have a sense for knowing what ponies want to eat! Oh! And don't miss you and Twilight's Welcome-to-Ponyville-Surprise-Party this afternoon at 2 PM! Now, enjoy your cake~!" She said and trotted off to the counter.

Holy Celestia! She brought me my favorite chocolate cake - Holiday Mudpie - and some coffee. How did she know that? Lucky guess, probably.

"What, no sugarcubes at Sugarcube Corner?" I asked and shook my head judgingly. She then quickly brought me two sugarcubes for the coffee. All this she did with a smile on her face. Seemed like nothing could bring her down.

After I had eaten, I went to check out my house.

"Let's see, where is it...?" I said to myself and checked my info flier.

Apparently, it's just opposite the library. Great. Now to find the library... I'll just ask somepony again. What a great way of acquiring knowledge.
I approached a purple maned pony, who had a white coat and deep blue eyes.

"Excuse me, but do you know where the library is?" I asked her and she stopped in her trails to turn towards me.

She was quite beautiful, anypony could tell that.

"That I do, my dear. It is right around here..." She said and pointed on my map.

"...it is a big tree, so you can't really miss it" She said with her fine british-lady-like voice.

"Now I don't think I've seen you around her before, have I?
What's your name?" She asked me.

"No, I'm new to Ponyville... I'm Synthveno... I'm from Canterlot" I said.
"Synthveno..." She pondered for a moment.

"What a beautiful name! I'm Rarity" She said as she posed happily.

Before I could say anything she continued

"Now, I'm sorry but I have to check on the decorations for the Summer Sun Celebration.
But I do hope we bump into eachother again, Synthveno" She said as she trotted away.

"Me too... I mean bump into you!" I smiled at her awkwardly and walked away.

Behind me I could hear her say (Probably to herself)
"Oh my goodness he's an alicorn... From Canterlot!"

I was used to all this kind of attention, so it didn't really bother me much.

Now, to find the library... A big tree... I'll call it a treebrary! Shouldn't be hard to find. It's not everywhere they'll just plonk down a tree.
I proceeded to walk down the street in the direction my map told me, and sure enough, I found the treebrary - and my house.
Over my house was a cloud with a cyan coated and rainbow maned pony. She had rose eyes.

"Hey!" I yelled at the pony.

"What are you doing up there so close to my house?"

The cloud then began to shift. I little rainbow maned head came out of the bottom. She raised an eyebrow, then giggled a little when she saw how far her cloud had drifted while she had slept.

"Oops! Sorry down there! I didn't notice how the cloud drifted away while I was napping!" She almost yelled at me so I could hear it.

Screw this, I'm gonna fly up to her, I'm sick of yelling all the time. I flapped my wings until I was on her cloud. It was small, but there was definitely enough space for the both of us to stand opposite each other.

She gasped and took a step back so she almost fell off the cloud.

"Woah!" She gasped. I raised an eyebrow in confusion, but I knew what it was. Obviously.

"I'm sorry - it's just that I've never seen an alicorn up close before, and..."

"It's alright..." I cut in. "...I've gotten quite used to it lately, since everypony in Ponyville have been doing that" I said and smiled at her.

"Yeah it's not everyday we get royalty in Ponyville. What's your name?" She asked me.

"I'm Synthveno. I'm from Canterlot" I explained to this tomboy-like pony

"That name is sooo COOL! I'm Rainbow Dash - the best flyer in Equestria!" She said with excitement.

I gave her a challenging look.

"Oh really? Where I come from, *I'm* the best flyer in Equestria!" I said up in her face.

She stuck her face up in mine as well and gritted her teeth.

"Oh yeah?! 3 days from now - I'll race ya! Meet me in the town park at 1PM!" She explained to me with a big grin on her face.

"Challenge bucking accepted!" I said.

She stretched and then flew off to what probably would be her house - a big cloud in the shape of a luxury home.

Alright. Now to check out my crib...

Crib is maybe a bit too much to say. I mean, it's a nice house, but it's not a crib. It's got a decent sized living room, a small kitchen, one bedroom, a guest room and a nice clean toilet. There is also a balcony you can get up to by stairs. The house was already furnished; my parents had sorted that out.
I was in a rush because I had to make it to Twi's Welcome-to-Ponyville-Surprise-Party. So I just unpacked my things and went to the treebrary for the party. Luckily I didn't have to walk that far, since the treebrary was right opposite my house. I checked my clock; it was 1:55 PM. 5 minutes to get ready inside. That's enough time, I guess.
