Star Shimmer woke up and found Moon still asleep. "Hey, sleepy head. Wake up," she laughed as she threw a pillow at him using her magic. Moon's head jolted up and fell off the bench.
"What?" he said looking up. Star Shimmer got off her bed and said, "We are in Ponyville." She laughed and opened the door. The two walked out of the carriage, only to see dozens of ponies standing in a circle around it.
"Hello Princess Star Shimmer!" they called. THe ponies bowed and remained silent.
"Don't call me princess!" screamed Star Shimmer stomping her hoof on the ground.
Everypony got quiet and walked away. Star shimmer said, "Okay, lets hurry up and get this over with. I don't want to be in this stupid town longer than I have to,"
"Okay Star, What's our first stop?" he asked. "Carousel Boutique. I need to pick up some dresses." she grumbled. "Let's just go.." A slight breeze ruffled her mane and Moon smiled.
"Here we are," Moon replied holding open the door to carousel Boutique. He looked around and saw a purple maned mare. "Hello, we are here for a dress,"
"Oh my! Is it really you? Star Shimmer? Twilight has told me so much about you! Though... she never told me about your little friend here," She walked over to them and started measuring Star Shimmer.
"Um... what are you doing?" asked Star Shimmer. The mare answered, "Measuring you for your dress, and I see I didn't introduce myself. I'm Rarity. "
"Oh, the dresses aren't for me. They are for Luna, Celestia, Cadence, and my mother." laughed Starshimmer. She looked around and backed away from Rarity.
"Why don't you get a dress as well? I think your little coltfriend here would like it," smiled Rarity pulling out a rack of dresses. Star Shimmer blushed and replied, "Um... He isn't my coltfriend. He is just a friend."
"Well, no colt can resist a mare in a dress. Why don't you let me find you a dress? You will have colts asking you to be their special somepony everywhere!" laughed Rarity looking through some dresses. "Here, try these on," said Rarity putting three dresses on her back.
"Fine..." grumbled Starshimmer going into a dressing room. She put on a green and blue dress and walked back out. "How does it look..."
"Absolutely marvelous! Look at your little friend over there! He's drooling over you!" Rarity laughed. Star Shimmer blushed and looked over at Moon who was staring ar her.
"Um... Moon?" said Star Shimmer staring at him. Moon replied with , "What?" Star Shimmer growled, "You were staring at me,"
"Sorry Star. You just look really nice in that dress," he replied blushing. He looked at her again and smiled.
"Hey, Don't go fallin' for her, She doesn't seem like the way you are looking at her," laughed Rarity getting out the princess' dresses. "Here you go, " Rarity smiled handing her the dresses.
"Thank you Rarity," Star Shimmer said walking out of the boutique. She looked around and saw a pony being surrounded by other ponies. "We should check it out.." Starshimmer said to Moon.
"Okay, Let's go," Moon replied running up to the scene.
"Please, leave me alone," said the pony hiding her face. One of the ponies kicked the dirt and said, "Ha ha. Poor little pony is too polite to stand up for herself. Come on, little whimp!"
Star Shimmer ran over to them and shouted, "Hey! Leave her alone!" The ponies looked at her and laughed. "Who are you? I've never seen you here before,"
"I'm Star Shimmer. My mother is Princess Twilight Sparkle. Now, I suggest you leave this pony alone and get a real life," she said, putting her hoof against the pony's chest and gave her a crazy grin.
"Um... I forgot... I had something to do!" they exclaimed and ran away. Star Shimmer walked over to the orange mare and asked, "Are you okay?"
"Oh, um... Yes. Thank you for helping me," the mare said. She stood up and smiled slightly.
"I'm Star Shimmer, What's your name?" Star Shimmer smiled. Moon stared at Star Shimmer who was still wearing her dress.
"Oh, I'm Petunia." replied the mare. "Who's your coltfriend?"
"He is not my coltfriend..." whimpered Star. "WE are just friends. His name is Moon," Moon walked around akwardly. Aren't there any other guys around here?
"You okay Moon? You seem bored" Petunia asked. She walked over to a house and knocked on the door. "Um, Air Glider... could you come out here please? I met these two nice ponies and I think you would like them," The door opened revealing a rainbow-maned mare.
"Sorry Petunia. Glider isn't here right now. He is practicing his flying skills somewhere," the mare said walking out of the house.
"Oh, sorry to bother you Rainbow Dash," whispered Petunia walking away. Rainbow Dash stopped her and said, "Oh Petunia! You are so much like your mother. "
"I know... my mother told me stories about when she was a young mare and how her friends helped her come out of her shell," Petunia replied turning towards Star Shimmer and Moon. She looked towards Rainbow Dash and asked, "Do you think they could do the same for me?"
"There's no doubt about it! Having true friends is important, and remember, if they abandon you, they aren't true friends!" Rainbow Dash smiled back. "Well, Have fun! I have to meet up with Soarin' in a little," THe mare walked back into her house and closed the door behind her.
"Who was that?" asked Moon. He walked over to Petunia and Star Shimmer followed him.
"That's Rainbow Dash. She is my friend Glider's mother." Petunia replied. She looked up in the sky and saw him flying in the sky.
"How about we go meet Glider! She sounds cool," Moon replied walking around in a circle.
"oh! Glider is not a mare! He is a colt or stallion.. I'm not sure what to call him," laughed Petunia. Moon said," Finally! I was beginning to think this rown only had mares and fillies in it!"
"What ever! Let's go meet this Glider guy," Star Shimmer said excitedly. Petunia, Moon, and Star Shimmer walked over to where Glider was flying.
Air Glider looked over at Petunia and exclaimed," Hi Petunia! Long Time, No see!" He flew down and asked, "Who are your friends?"
"Hi Glider! Meet Star Shimmer and Moon. " smiled Petunia. Star Shimmer looked at him and said, "Call me Star,"
"Well, It's nice to see Petunia has made such nice friends. I'm Air Glider, but I prefer to be called Glider." the colt smiled. He looked at Star Shimmer and thought, " What a lovely mare"
"So. Do you know where to get any good party supplies? I'm getting supplies for the Grand Galloping Gala." asked Star Shimmer. She walked closer to Moon because she saw Glider looking at her.
"Are you kidding me? This is where Pinkie Pie the Party Pony lives! She makes the best decorations!" Glider laughed. "Do you mind if we help you pick out decorations?"
"Thank you! and Sure! Let's go!" Star Shimmer smiled. They gathered together and walked to the Bakery.
