After yet another few minutes, we arrived at the library. The library itself was built inside an empty tree. "That's where our friend the egghead Twilight Sparkle lives." Rainbow Dash said with a grin. I saw that the door of the library was slightly open, but not enough to see inside. Plus, all the curtains were pulled. "Better not be what I think it is." I mumbled to myself. I then realised that both Applejack and Rainbow Dash were going inside. "Oh great. Exactly what I thought." I told nopony in particular. I landed and started walking toward the door slowly. REALLY slowly. Once I reached the door, I opened it and went inside, leaving the door open.
Standing in almost complete darkness, thanks to the door still being open, I saw nothing. Then, the door shut, leaving me in total darkness. I waited a few seconds, after which all lights turned on and I heard a really loud SURPRISE! "Aren't libraries suppose to be quiet?" I asked, realizing that I said something from the series itself. "Parties are NOT supposed to be quiet!" the gasping mare from earlier retorted. "I'm Pinkamena Diane Pie, but all my friends call me Pinkie Pie." " My name is Flaming Shadow." I told her. "Hi Flaming Shadow. My name is Twilight Sparkle, and I'm glad to say welcome to Ponyville." a light purple unicorn with a navy blue mane and tail, in both of which are two streaks, one violet and the other pink. "Thank you." I told her. "You're welcome." Twilight answered.
A few hours after sunset, almost everypony went back home, leaving Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Applejack, Rarity, Twilight and a dragon I knew for sure was Spike, along with me,at the library. "I do not think we were introduce to each other." I told the dragon. "I am..." "Flaming Shadow. I heard you, you know." the dragon interrupted me. "I'm Spike." "Glad to meet you, Spike." I told him. "Now that h party his over, where are you staying?" Twilight asked me. "I do not have a place to stay."I told them. "It's alright, ya can use tha barn ta sleep." Applejack told me. "Thank you. That is really kind of you." I thanked her. "But before you go, can I ask you something?" Rarity asked me. "Yes, and technically, that was a question. But go ahead." I told her. "Where are you from?"
I didn't see that one coming. I should have known that it would eventually come up, but I told myself it would not be before long. "Is everything OK?" Rarity asked me, worried. I thought really quickly to try to get myself out. "Well, you could say that I come from everywhere." I told them, almost face-hoofing. "What do you mean by 'everywhere'?" Twilight said. "You see, I traveled a lot, never settling in one place. And before you ask, I decided to come to Ponyville because I wanted to rest and have my house." I explained.
After some quick 'good night', Applejack and I went toward Sweet Apple Acres. "I hope ya'll enjoy yerself here in Ponyville." Applejack told me. "An' I also hope ya'll enjoy bein' our friend." "WHAT? What do you mean by 'being your friend'?" I asked her, surprised that it had been so fast befriending me. "Well, ya see, ma friends an' I are really quick befriending ponies." she explained. In the distance, even though I was exhausted, I could see the orchard. We were getting closer. "I do not know if I will even be able to go all the way to the barn." I said, yawning.
Eventually, I got to the barn, said good night and thanked Applejack, and went in the barn. "What will I do." I said to myself. "Because if they are really my friends, then I don't want to disappoint them. I just hope I won't have to lie to them too much." I was really tired, and my almost continuous yawning did not help. I went to a hay bale and laid down on it. "It is more comfortable than I tought." I closed my eyes, hoping I would find answers during the night.
