The streets of Ponville were very different. There was a lot of noise, and busyness, but everything was an amazing sight. There was the town baker, the hairdresser, the tailor, the shoe maker, and lots of other ponies who were too hard to see.
Flick looked around and everything seemed so, different. It still had the bittersweet scent of home, but it looked like a brand new town. "Let's go visit my mother's home, she would be incredibly pleased to see you two." Flick said, following the dirt path to his longtime home.
"Everything is so, confusing here darling. I can't even keep up with this."
"No worries, my love. It may seem like a crazy feud, but everypony are very nice."
"Flick? Is it really you?" A voice called out. It turned out to be a mare, whose coat was a beautiful white, along with her hair. She was a pegasus, wearing a red velvet coat with golden buttons.
"L - Liza?"
The two hugged and spun around, as he carried her with his front hooves and spun around even more. They laughed and cheered, as Flick had met an old friend.
A slight look of jealousy peered into Ella's eyes, but she quickly hid it for somepony could see. "Who's that darling?" She asked, putting on a fake smile.
"Dearest, this is my old friend, Liza! I grew up with her, ain't that right cinnamon?"
"Of course sugar!"
"Cinnamon? Sugar?" Ella questioned. She was confused, and angry.
"We used to give each other names back then, when we would bake cinnamon buns!" Liza replied. "Nice to meet you, Mrs. Shnoder, I heard so much about you!"
"Nice to meet you too darling."
"Hello Ms. Liza!" Melody cheered. She had never met Liza before, so she was very excited to meet her.
"You, must be Melody! Oh, how adorable you are!" Liza said, patting the young filly with her hoof.
"Hey Liza, we're heading to my mother's home, would like to come?"
"Of course!" Liza replied.
As his family along with his old friend walked through the streets, he nuzzled his dear friend. "Liza, you don't know how long it was till I saw you. I missed you dear."
Liza was indeed the sweetest mare in Equestria. She was kind, and thoughtful, and she works hard. Though she may seem as perfect as she is, the one thing that stands in her way is fear.
Liza is afraid of most things, but she still tries her best.
"I missed you too. Ever since you left to Canterlot, I felt like a piece of me was missing. Oh Flick, you, you're the pony who I look up to the most!" Liza exclaimed.
"Really?" They stopped in the middle of the path, looking at each other.
"Of course! You're my friend! You gave me the confidence to talk to ponies my age growing up. Why, when you left I felt unsure of myself. You were always brave, and confident, and you knew what to do all the time, and I was.." Liza trailed off as she looked sadly to the ground.
"Liza.." Flick said, as he put his hoof on her chin and smiled sweetly. "Well you're who I look up to darling."
the two smiled at each other as they continued to walk on the dry cobblestone path. Ella stared at the two of them, angry, and jealous. She was mad, but she put on a fake smile, and carried on.
"Mom!" Flick exclaimed, as he and his family trotted up to the beautiful birch house. His childhood home had a bittersweet scent of wood and lavender. The windows were lined with a white border, and a few flower boxes with gorgeous flowers in them.
the roof was a combination of slightly darkened wood with moss growing on top. It was a lot like a magical tree house, which was very exciting in young Melody's eyes.
"Oh, Snuffle Boo! There you are!" The purple earth pony slammed open the door as she shouted, reaching up to her son and giving him a sweet, but questionably tight squeeze on the cheeks.
Flick gave an annoyed eye roll, but quickly changed into a smiling expression, for he was so incredibly happy to see her.
"You've grown so much since you were a little filly! Oh, Liza! So nice to see you again!"
"So nice to see you again too Lavendar Luck." Liza replied. Yes, Lavender was Flick's mother's name, and yet it suited her very well. Her coat was a deep blue, almost like a night sky, because it shimmered beautifully when light bounced upon it. Her mane and tail were a soft lavender, with a hint of gray.
"Mom, I'm sure you've rememebered my wife right? Uh, darling introduce yourself."
"Lovely to see you -" Ella was cut short by a brief wide smile of Lavender.
"Oh, I'm so sorry miss but, eeeeeeh! I'm just - so happy I've gotten to see you again! You're the richest mare in equestria! And it's just, splendid!" Lavender squealed, then got down to her hooves and bowed down with honour.
"Mom, don't be so overly excited, Ella's not Celestia isn't she?" Flick rolled his eyes again, his face filled with embarrassment.
Melody chuckled as she bounded over to her grandmother, her gaze filled with joy and excitement. "Hi grandma!" She shouted, not knowing what else to say.
"Flick? You didn't tell me you had kids! Oh look how adorable you are little filly! Uh...?"
"It's Melody!"
"Oh, Melody! What a beautiful name! Aren't you just a bundle of joy, now I'm sure all of you are very hungry, come in! I've baked honey cakes!"
