She had moved here from the city, and it was a little weird not hearing all the sounds of the big city. Very quiet and no noise what so ever. Even though she moved she never really had very much friends. She was a very shy pony, she was too scared to make any new friends. Even though it was a new start she didn't think it was a good thing. Her family was very torn apart by the death of her mother, so her dad would always try and go out and try to date or drink his sorrows away. She always stayed in her room because she hated her father for what he had done. The reason why is because after her mother passed away her father would go out and start dating or drinking and would come home late or not at all, till the next day. This made her very uneasy of the way her father would act.  One night her father came home from drinking they got into a really huge fight. Her father thought that she didn't want him to be happy, but in reality she wanted the best for him, but was afraid of change.   “Dammit Sara! Will you just give her a chance, she's really nice.” Her father explained to his daughter.   “No! I just want everything to be the same, I don't want anything to change.”Sara replied to her father while trying to hold back her tears.   “Nothing will change, don't you want another mother so we could ad least be a family once again.”  Her father explained to her trying not to raise his voice.   “Well I don't need another mother, and we are a family even if mother is no longer here with us!” Sara raised her voice in anger.Her father did not like the fact that his own daughter was being stubborn became very angry. He was very alone and wanted somepony to love him just as his wife did.   “Why can’t you just let me be happy for once!?” Sara's father yelled at her from across the room. Sara could not take it and stormed off to her room, her dad was not done trying to convince her so he went up to her room. As Sara went to lock her door she could hear her father right behind her.   “Dammit Sara, don't walk away from me!” Sara's dad demanded and grabbed her door knob. He tried to open it, but Sara had locked the door.   “Go away dad I don't want to talk to you when you’re this drunk!” Sara called out to him as he kept trying to open her door. As Sara backed away from the door slightly, she was hoping that her dad would just go away. A couple seconds later her dad broke through her door and hit Sara in the face which made her fall back and hit her head on the wall. Sara was in pain and her father just stared at her. He tried to apologize to her but Sara ran out of her room, but collapsed down the stairs.  Just before she hit the stairs Sara awoke.        “It was only a dream, well a memory at that.” Sara told herself as she looked at the clock to see the time. Sara didn't have school seeing as though she just moved here and she hadn't gotten used to the time here.   “Well, 7:30 huh. I guess this is the time I was meant to get up and go to school.” Sara really didn't have school because she asked the principle if she could get used to the time and find her way around ponyville.   “This is the last day of me getting used to ponyville, great.” Sara said to herself while moving her covers over her face so that the sunlight won’t wake her. As the hours passed Sara could not get back to sleep she tossed and turned. So sense Sara had no way of getting to sleep she decided to go and look around ponyville for the first time. “Well Damn, sense I wasted my whole first day doing nothing I might as well go look around ponyville.”Before Sara walked out she grabbed her bag with some money in it just in case, as Soon as Sara walked out the door she was confused on where to go first because she has never seen ponyville at all other then when she was moving in, so this was her first time to go and look around.  PonyVille seemed kind-of big at first. By the time Sara got to the school it was already 8:10 Sara thought to herself. “Well, this is going to be a long walk, worthless dad can’t even give me extra money to get a carriage because if I use the money I have I won’t be able to have lunch and I already tried to tell him that but he could really care less.” As soon as Sara walked out of the schools property one of the patrol guards saw a filly out of school on a school day what would any other pony think then to say that she was ditching school, Sara noticed the patrol guard watching her every move and as soon as she turned the corner she walked faster and faster hopping to get out of the guards sight but the guard was already on to her and thought something was suspicious so he confronted her. “Hey there little filly what are you doing out of school?” asked the guard. “Umm well you see, I’m new here, and the principal of my school said I could have two days off to go look around so yeah.” Said Sara while smiling to not look suspicious but the guard thought smiling was suspicious. “Okay I've heard that a bunch of times, so you are going to come with me to the guard post and I’ll have you wait in the cell until school is over and we will give your dad a call sounds good?” Said the guard pulling Sara to the guard post. “Dude! My dad is going to freak!” said Sarah while trying not to raise her voice and bring attention to herself. “Okay, let’s just get the story straight that your ditching and I promise you’re dad won’t get mad okay? So what’s you’re name Hun?” Asked the officer trying to get on her good side. “Its Sara Stylz” Replied Sara in a mad voice. “Okay thanks” said the guard. Later that day… Sara heard an unfamiliar voice talking to the guard at the counter but it wasn’t her dad… “Okay thanks I’m sorry she put you in this trouble it won’t happen again” said the unknown pony. “It’s okay she was no problem.”Said the guard. All Sara saw was a silhouette enter the room.
