Chapter III: Rumbling Rough
I turned around, gasping, to face a cloaked, dark figure. They shushed me, and as I watched with wide eyes, the pony removed their hood. My jaw dropped the second I saw who was under the hood... my mother. She looked to me with an evil smile, and put a hoof on my shoulder.
"My dearest Berry, have you found any stallions worth your time?" I looked to her, my eyes still the size of saucers as I began to stutter,
"I-I-I... no. Besides, it's only my first day here, and my house was f*ing broken into!!" Mother scowls at my language, and then proceeds her speech.
"Well, Berry, the reason you were sent here is to marry a strong, and handsome stallion to the throne. We, as you know, are the rulers of the kingdom far away called Lestra. We need you to marry a stallion to the throne who can carry the weight of the kingdom on his shoulders, all while looking handsome and stylish." I look at my mother, shocked.
"So basically, you're forcing me to move to Equestria, just so you can have a suitable prince?!" Mother nods, her bun bobbing back and forth. She looks around, obviously judging my apartment, while mumbling a few last words to me.
"Blaze, please don't fail me." And just like that, she's gone, a wave of magical electricity left behind. I rub my face with my hoof and turn back to my journal. I decide to just stop my entry and sign my name.
Berry Błaze
I set down my quill in satisfaction and trot off to bed, I snuggle under the covers, lonely, nervous, and tired. I lay awake for hours, my mind wandering, until my eyelids slowly sink closed.
I rub my eyes while slinking sleepily out of bed. I walk into the kitchen, and magically fix myself some eggs and bacon while staring blankly out the window. I eat it in silence, the creamy yellow yolk of the egg running down my chin. I wipe it off, and start getting ready. I swipe some mascara on my lashes and fluff up my pink hair, and I trot outside. There are ponies everywhere, greeting each other, flying past, planting pansies, and baking cakes. I smile as I walk throughout PonyVile. I wave to a young mare, and she smiles back, busy playing hopscotch with young stallions. I laugh as one of the stallions runs into me accidentally while running after a rock that was thrown too far. He backs up, his cheeks a bright red. I wave to him, and he starts to whimper.
"Oh, no! It's ok! Do you want your parent? Are you hurt? I'm so so so sorry!!" I hug him, and he perks up a bit. He wipes a few tears away, and looks over, most likely to his parent.
"What's your name, lil' stallion?" I smile enthusiastically to him, trying to cheer him up before his mother angrily stomps up. He sees the other ponies watching, and wipes all his tears, and puffs up his chest.
"Name's Rumble. Don't mess with me." He huffs angrily, and I just laugh as he calls,
"Thunderlane!!!! This mare here is causing deep trouble!! She got in my way!!!" I stop my laughing when I register what he said, and I gasp, as a stallion about me age comes flying over.
"What's wrong, buddy?" He looks to me, and then to Rumble. "Was it that mare?" He looks back to me, and I can see a splotch of pink on his cheeks. Is he blushing, or is that paint?
"Yeh. She's in my way. Lemme go, puh-lease." I step aside angrily, and as Rumble fetches the rock, Thunderlane starts a conversation with me.
"Sorry. He can get cranky. I have to take care of him, so I know all his weaknesses. Want to find them with me?" He grins, and my heart skips a beat.
"Of course! Why would I pass down an opportunity such as this?" He smiles, and scoops up Rumble.
"HEY!! STOP!! Stooooop!" I laugh as I follow Thunderlane to Friendship Café. We go inside, and as soon as the waft of pastries hits Rumble, he goes limp in Thunder's arms.
"I-is that a pastry?" He flies out of Thunderlane's arms, and grins at the huge case of pastries. He does some sort of jig, and orders a pastry happily. I laugh as I see the huge grin plastered on his face.
"This is only one of his weaknesses, let's go to one more!" Thunderlane shoots off into the sky, with me trying to follow him on the ground. I soon teleport down the path, until I find him at a bouncy cloud.
"This is Rumble's favorite." Rumble literally squeals when he sees the cloud, and scrambles out of Thunder's arms onto the cloud. He laughs and squeals while jumping and flipping around, and I laugh as I watch him. I'd soon realized after a while that I had made a new friend, Thunderlane. Soon, it became dark, and I rested my head on Thunderlane's shoulder. He smiled and yawned as Rumble fell asleep on the bouncy cloud. He took both of us home, until we collapsed on our beds.
I still remember him whispering in my ear before I finally fell asleep,
"Sweet dreams, Blaze." I may have fallen for him, but I can't be sure yet, as I don't want to "disappoint mother." Honestly, I'm just praying that mother approves of him, and if she does, well, the rest will be history.
