Hello everypony and welcome to my first ever MLP fic, I love drama and action, sometimes comedy and a dash of horror (As long as no pony tries to eat one another or something sick like that.) There are Original characters in this, however, I hate over powered recolors so I won't have any in this everypony will be different and their own pony with something to add to the fun, Hasbro owns the rights to My little Pony while I do not, so remember to have fun and enjoy. ^_^
"Does everypony understand their homework assignment this weekend?" A dark pink pony said as she looked at her class, she had different shades of pink in her mane and tail, she had green eyes and she had three flowers with smiling faces on them on her rump.
"Yes Ms. Cheerilee!" The filly's said and they all walked out, a yellow filly with gold eyes and red short mane and a bow on it smiled as she walked out with her two best friends, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo.
Sweetie Belle was a white filly with purple and pink in her mane and tail, she had green eyes and a horn, a horn meant she was a unicorn, a special kind of pony that could use the strange powers known as magic. "So what's the plan today Apple Bloom?"
"Let's go so something fun and maybe we can get our cutie marks!" Scootaloo said with a smile, she was a orange filly with purple eyes and her mane and tail were a lighter red, and she had wings, which meant she was a Pegasus, another special pony with the ability to fly.
"That's sounds fun, maybe we can finally get our cutie marks!" Apple Bloom said with gusto and ran off ahead.
"Hey wait Apple Bloom, look out!" Sweetie Belle called out to her
"Huh?!" Apple Bloom slammed right into something hard knocking her onto her back. "Oof! Hey watch it!"
"Oh my, I'm sorry...where are you?" Apple Bloom heard a young filly like herself and looked forward to see a blue unicorn pony with pink eyes and her mane was kinda messy and her tail was tied back, the color of her mane and tail was a swirl of blue and purple that rather complemented her fair blue skin. "Hello?"
"Are you okay? I'm right here" Apple Bloom said confused and then noticed a pair of glasses on the ground. "Oh, let me get that for you"
Apple Bloom quickly picked herself up and then picked up the glasses and put them on the filly's face. "Better?"
The Filly blinked a little as her eyes went back into focus. "Thank you, I'm almost completely blind without these"
"That's a real shame, you have real pretty eyes too" Apple Bloom said. "My name is Apple Bloom by the way"
"Thanks, that's kind of you to say" The filly smiled. "My name is Starswirl"
Apple Bloom raised an eyebrow. "You mean mean like Starswirl the bearded?"
"Yes, my parents named me after him in hopes that I would because something great like he was, that's a really big hoof to fill actually" Starswirl said as she got up.
"I can imagine, being named after a pony that created most of the magic spells out there would be rough" Apple Bloom then noticed that Starswirl didn't have a cutie mark. "Hey, you don't have a cutie mark"
"Oh uh..." Starswirl looked away embarrassed. "I know...I'm a blank flank.."
"Well that's okay, nether do me or my friends" Apple Bloom said with a smile.
"Really?" Starswirl looked at her and noticed she didn't have one. "Wow"
"We're actually part of our own club called the Cutie mark crusaders, in fact we're going on a trip to discover our cutie marks right now..that's why I was in a hurry and ran into you"
"Oh that's why you were running, how many cutie marks have you discovered?" Starswirl asked.
"Uh...none, but we're close, I can feel it! You want to join us?" Apple Bloom was back to her excited self.
"Oh I wish I could, but I actually came here to Ponyville to stay with my aunt for awhile and train in my magic, they say she's the best" Starswirl said. "But maybe when I have some free time, we could hangout?"
"Okay then Starswirl, it's a deal, who is your aunt?" Apple Bloom asked. "I know just about everypony in Ponyville"
"Her name is Twilight Sparkle" Starswirl said.
"Really!? Your related to Twilight? Are you Shining Armor's kid?" Apple Bloom looked at her puzzled. "But wait, it would be big deal if the princess had a filly right?"
"Well I'm just her niece no pony special" Starswirl said. "Can you tell me how to get to her?"
"Better, we'll show you!" Apple Bloom said as Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle walked up. "Right girls?"
"Sure, it's nice to see that Twilight will have family living here for a change" Sweetie Belle said.
"Yeah, with her entire family being being royalty, she really doesn't have family around" Scootaloo said.
"Huh?" Now it was Starswirl's turn to be confused. "What do you mean?"
"Oh you didn't know? Twilight's brother Shining Armor is married to princess Candace at the crystal empire, and her parents live in Canterlot" Apple Bloom said. "Twilight is the only one of her family in Ponyville"
"Oh uh...yeah, I get it now" Starswirl said nervously. "So what's she like?"
"We should just let you meet your aunt first and then go from there, she's really nice" Sweetie Belle said.
"Yeah good idea" Apple Bloom said as they started to walk. "Come on Starswirl!"
"Right, okay" Starswirl choked a little and followed them.
They walked over to a rather big tree house and stopped there. "She's in there, good luck Starswirl!"
Starswirl smiled. "Thank you all, I would be lost right now if it wasn't for you"
"Don't mention it, and remember once your all settled in, come play with us okay!?" Apple Bloom said excitedly.
"I will!" Starswirl adjusted her glasses and knocked on the door as the others left to go play.
"Huh? Spike can you answer that?" She heard a tired sounding voice on the over side of the door.
"On it Twilight" Another voice said and soon the door opened, revealing a little purple and green baby dragon. "Hello?"
"Oh, uh..hello there, my name is-" Starswirl tried to speak when a crushing thud was heard inside.
"Oof! Ow!" The tired voice said. "Spike!"
"Oh no, look, can you come by later? We're having some problems right now" Spike said in a haste.
"Maybe I can-" Starswirl tried to speak again when Spike shut the door on her. "Help?"
Starswirl sighed and took a step back. "Maybe I'll go get my belongings while I wait?"
Starswirl said as she walked off, inside the house Twilight Sparkle a purple pony with violet eyes and dark blue mane and tail with a strip if pink in them, she had a horn and her cutie mark was a big star to symbolize magic and there were several smaller stars around it. "Spike!"
Spike rushed in. "What's wrong!?"
Twilight was buried under a bunch of random books and jewels. "Why are there so many jewels just laying around?! I tripped and all my books fell on me!"
"Oh sorry Twilight, I ran out of spaces to put them, so I kinda.." Spike said trying to explain.
"Could you please pick them up? It's dangerous to leave these all around to floor" Twilight said as her horn glowed and all the books were covered in the same glow and lifted into the air so she could get up and then she yawned.
"Twilight, you've been up for four days now, maybe you should get some sleep?" Spike said with worry in his voice.
"I know, but I'm so close to figuring out that secret Zecora talked about" Twilight said as she placed all the books back in their shelves. "Remember when Zecora came over a couple weeks ago?"
"Uh yeah, she seemed rather spooked about something and said that this house holds a dark secret or something right?" Spike said a little confused.
"That's right, normally she's fine around that kinda stuff, but something in here scared her, and I want to find out what" Twilight said as she put the last book up. "What if it's a monster that is living right under us? Or a dark magic that should never be used? Or a powerful relic of the past?"
"I don't know, but you shouldn't lose sleep over it, what if it is a monster and your too tired to face it?" Spike said.
Twilight thought about it and he made sense. "Your right Spike, I should be at the top of my game and be ready for anything"
Twilight then went upstairs to go to sleep and Spike picked up his jewels, outside Starswirl was dragging a large suitcase with her and her horn was glowing a white color and two other suitcases were following her with the same glow.
"What did mom and dad pack into this thing, my entire room!?" Starswirl asked to herself as she dragged it. "Come on!"
Starswirl came up to the door and let go of the heavy baggage. "Phew, okay now then"
Starswirl knocked on the door again. "I hope their still here"
"Coming!" Spike said as he walked up and opened the door. "Oh it's you again, I'm sorry but Twilight is asleep, can you come back later?"
"But I'm-" Starswirl tried to speak again but Spike closed the door before she could finish. "Twilight's niece..."
Starswirl hung her head and walked away, her luggage still there, she sighed and walked into the park, she was upset, but she figured she could always try tomorrow, the problem was where would she sleep tonight? As she was thinking about this a white pony with a purple mane and tail walked by, she had blue eyes and her cutie mark was three diamonds, she had her tail and mane in a high fashioned look, Starswirl noticed she was beautiful and she showed it to the world, she was full of confidence unlike herself. "Wow"
"Hm?" The mare turned hearing Starswirl. "Oh hello there, are you new in town? I've never seen you before"
"Oh..yes I'm new here, my parents made me leave to study magic with my aunt, but she's too busy to even notice I'm here" Starswirl said.
"That's horrible!" She walked over to her and sat down next to her. "Want to talk about it? uh..what's your name little one?"
"My name is Starswirl and I guess so" Starswirl said.
"You mean like Starswirl the bearded?" She asked.
"Yes, mom and dad named me that because they were expecting great things for me in the future, what's your name?" Starswirl asked.
"Oh how terribly rude of me, my name is Rarity" Rarity said with a smile. "So who is your aunt?"
"Her name is Twilight Sparkle" Starswirl said.
"Wait, wait, wait, this horrible pony that didn't even notice you is Twilight!?" Rarity said shocked. "That doesn't sound like her, maybe you caught her at a bad time? She has been locked away in her study for days now, I'm sure she didn't mean to hurt your feelings"
"Really?" Starswirl looked at her. "Well what can I do to get her attention?"
"Well how about you wait until tomorrow? I'm sure she'll be free then" Rarity said. "Until then, you can stay at my place for the night"
"Are you sure? I don't want to be a burden like I was to my parents.." Starswirl looked down and sighed.
Rarity could tell the little filly had some issues with her parents, but she didn't want to push her with any questions. "It'll be fine Starswirl, come on"
Rarity got up and started to walk and Starswirl nodded and followed her, they went to a really nice looking house and Rarity opened the door and walked in. "I should have a spare bed somewhere, I'll go look for it, why don't you go upstairs into the guest room?"
"Okay, thanks again Rarity" Starswirl said and walked up the stairs.
Rarity smiled and went to look around for the spare bed.
Starswirl walked into the guest room and there was nothing inside it, she didn't mind that however at least she was inside for the night, she looked out the window and saw Ponyville, it was nice, relaxing and full of friendly ponies, she was glad about that, but she couldn't help but think about what to do with herself after she gets settled with her aunt.
"I wish mom was here, I miss her singing" Starswirl said as Rarity came up with the spare bed.
"Here you are, just relax and you'll see Twilight tomorrow" Rarity said as she went into her own room.
"Okay Ms. Rarity" Starswirl said as she got ready for bed.
I had a bit of trouble with the start, but now that I have worked on the characters in the fic, it should be a bit more easy, this is my first chapter of A starswirl melody, I hope you readers will enjoy reading it as I did writing it and thank you for your time.
