The strange pony made his way down the dirt trail following the small blue colt, Blue Berry.
"Geeze how far out did these kids go out… Feels like we've been walking for a while now." said the strange pony, panting slightly. "This kid doesn't even look tired! I must be out of shape or something." The strange pony had been following the colt seeing if he would lead him to some sort of town where he could possibly get some help for his current situation. As they continued, the strange pony took notice of a sign on the side of the trail. He curved towards the sign to get a closer look. He quickly read the sign's contents in his head.
"According to this sign I'm headed to a place called… Ponyville." said the strange pony in his head. He couldn't help but chuckle at the name. "Ponyville huh? That sounds pretty…simple." He turned his head towards where Blue Berry was trotting. He immediately gasped has he noticed he lost sight of the small blue colt.
"Oh no! I lost him! This means I'm lost… FOREVER!" screamed the strange pony placing both his front hooves grasping his head. "Oh wait. I could just follow the dirt path…" The strange pony could feel his face getting red from his embarrassing stupidity. "Haha, silly me. The strange pony continued on towards the town of Ponyville.
As he continued to Ponyville, he tried to recall any memories he could use to remember why he was in the clearing, but he couldn't think of anything. He let out a sigh and looked around the scenery to get it off his mind.
The scenery amazed the strange pony. The path was lined with trees with red and orange leaves. Some leaves had fallen as well to which they had scattered al over the ground as well. The grass along the path looked perfect as if someone had cut it recently. Around the area he would see the occasion woodland creatures like bunny family near their den or a passing bird.
Soon the scenery had changed quickly. Instead of a trees running all over the landscape, there was now just green plains. It looked like someone had changed the season of the year.
While squinting his eyes, the strange pony saw silhouettes of tow buildings in the distance. A huge smile suddenly appeared on the pony's face. He jumped with glee knowing he found civilization, and maybe he could also find somepony to help him. He then burst into full gallop towards the town.
The strange pony had finally arrived to the edge of Ponyville, he couldn't stop himself from giving a "Wow!" under his breath. The town was quite appealing. It had very nicely colored buildings and perfected landscape. The buildings resembled small cottages which indicated that this town was probably a quaint little settlement. It didn't take much time for the strange pony to spot one of the town's citizens walking towards him. He trotted up to him to greet him.
"Excuse me sir, but could yo—" The strange pony cut mid-sentence because the pony had just walked by without giving him any kind of attention. The strange pony ran up to the pony again to try to get his attention but failed. The pony just kept walking minding his own business.
Not giving up, the strange pony went around town asking anyone that could maybe help him. He asked nearly dozens of ponies, but no one responded. With every try, the strange pony began to become more and more discouraged until he fell on his flank out of desperation.
"Great…What am I supposed to do now?…" The strange pony thought to himself. He looked area of town admiring it some more. "Hmm, I guess I can at least look around…"
"Perfect!" exclaimed Pallet as he finished a paint stoke. Pallet was an aspiring painter in Ponyville. He wore a black beret and a purple coat to protect his brown fur. Of course he had a pallet as a cutie mark. He was finishing his painting that he was going to enter in the Fillydelphia art show. It was a painting of a landscape called "Landscape". Pallet wasn't really a good at naming things, but he was a decent painter.
"Alright, now that is done, all I need to do is finish this stoke for this water." Said Pallet talking to himself, "BUT, I can't—no—WON'T use any brush for this. I will use my lucky brush! Brushy!"
Pallet had a tendency to talk to himself, and sometimes, like this time, talk to himself very loudly. To make things stranger he would usually set himself up outside his shop to keep himself motivated. This would make the occasional passerby creeped out as Pallet talked to himself out loud. However, this never bothered Pallet.
The strange pony happened to pass near by the loud painter. He trotted towards the painter to get a closer look at what he was shouting about.
"Ok let see, um, where did I put Brushy?" Pallet asked himself "I'm sure I put it in here." Pallet walked into his shop to look for "Brushy" as the strange pony walked to the painting to examine it.
The strange pony got closer to the painting to inspect it. "Wow! Not bad…" commented the strange pony. While looking at the painting, a strange object caught the corner of his eye. He looked up from the painting and saw a pedestal with a red pillow. On the pillow was a Brush with the words engraved into the handle, "Brushy".
"Is this what his looking for?" the strange pony asked himself chuckling at the name. He immediately hatched an idea. "Hmm, let's see if this invisibility is useful for something…"
"Brushy! Where are you!" shouted Pallet coming outside of his studio not being able to find his brush. "Where did I-AH HA!" Pallet spotted his favorite bush siting on the pedestal he had made for it. "Ah silly me, of course I put you there. He walked over to the pedestal to grab it, but as soon as he got close, the brush suddenly leapt off the pillow falling to the ground. Pallet, staring for a second out of confusion, reached towards the brush again, only for it to hop away again.
The strange pony snickered in the privacy of his invisibility. "Heh, I guess being invisible has its perks as well" said the strange pony.
"Ah playing yet hard to get eh? Well, have at you then!" said Pallet getting ready to pounce the brush.
"Why aren't you disturbed at the fact that this thing is floating…" asked the strange pony in a flat tone. He then gasped as he saw Pallet flying towards him. He was able to avoid him at the last second.
"Ah, slippery one aren't you?" said Pallet in a impressed tone. The cat and mouse game of Pallet and Brushy began, making it quite a scene since this was happening outside. After many evades later, the strange pony was able to slip into Pallet's studio after another failed pounce resulted in Pallet hitting his head on the door frame. Few seconds later Pallet, recovered from his short daze and burst through his studio's doors exclaiming "Come out, Come out where ever you are!"
The strange pony was now on top of a wardrobe, panting from all the evading. He put the brush on the top surface of the wardrobe and held it down with his hoof.
"For a *huff*…For an artistic pony…*huff* He very athletic…" panted the strange pony. Right as he thought he could rest peacefully for a second he felt a heavy tug on the brush surprising him. He looked down to see Pallet hanging on the brush with only his teeth.
"Hah! I Haff chew now!" said Pallet carefully trying not to let go of the brush. Suddenly, a loud crack was heard throughout the studio, widening the ponies' eyes.
"Uh…" was all the strange pony could say before the whole wardrobe collapsed sending both ponies into a very painful down fall. The collapse had made a tray of paint that was close by flip and send all the paint flying out the open door of the studio.
"Uhh" groaned the strange pony waking up from his blackout. "How long was I—" the strange pony stopped mid-sentence when he heard Pallet's shaky voice.
"M-M-My…", stuttered Pallet, staring at his, now very colorful, painting. It was drenched from the paint that had flown out when the cabinet crashed down. "My…P-P-P"
The strange pony felt a wave of guilt hit once he saw what he had done. He only wanted to prank the painter a little not ruin his art.
"My Painting…It's…AMAZING!" exclaimed the excited painter catching the strange pony by surprise. "It's much better than that silly generic landscape painting. It has so much more…Pizzazz! And it's all thinks to you my little Brushy." Pallet took the brush with his tail and started prancing around with the strange pony looking on the scene with a face of confusion. "We are sure to win that prize now!"
After a few minutes of watching the strange scene, the strange pony shook his head and decided to leave the happy artist to his victory dance.
"Hmm, but what should I call this? Oh! I know! How about 'colors'!" said the gleeful painter.
It was Berry Punch's favorite time of the week. It was when she had her favorite sandwich from her favorite restaurant in Ponyville. She ate it as an early lunch so she could get her favorite seat outside of the restaurant. This was her reward for the week and something to keep her going for the rest of it. She lowered her head to smell the delicious dandelion sandwich what was in front of her. No other restaurant could prepare it like she liked it.
Meanwhile the strange pony was walking by recollecting his thoughts. It was soon interrupted by loud rumbling. The strange pony quickly looked around to see the source of the sound. When it went off the second time, he looked down to his stomach which had then twitched.
"Oh, I must be hungry." said the strange pony admitting his hunger. "Well this isn't good. I don't have any money to buy any food… Oh, plus no one can see me." The strange pony turned his head to the right to see a Purple pony sitting on a table smelling a sandwich. He couldn't believe his eyes. It was the most beautiful, most graceful, most majestic…sandwich he had ever laid his eyes on. Of course he couldn't remember any other sandwiches he had seen since he had no memories. The strange quickly caught himself drooling and which he wiped it off his face. "No! I can't steal from somepony!" The strange pony's stomach gave out another rumble, this time louder. The strange pony gave glances to both his right and left. "Uh Ok this one time and I'll pay her back one day."
Berry Punch, who was still smelling her sandwich, finally went and took a bite of it. She chewed it very slowly to savor every flavor. While she ate she looked at Ponyville's scenery of a bustling town. It might have not been what most ponies called relaxing but she took it as appealing. She took another bite of her tasty lunch. As soon as she lifted her head up from taking the second bite, the sandwich suddenly floated right up in front of her. She just sat there chewing as she watched this strange phenomenon. The sandwich then slowly floated away from Berry.
Now, if this was any other pony they would either faint or run screaming, but this wasn't any other pony. This was Berry Punch and it was Berry Punch's FAVORITE sandwich. She felt more anger than fear growing inside of her. She WANTED her tasty meal back! She then got up and sprinted towards the sandwich with fierce determination in her eyes.
"Well that was surprisingly easy." commented the strange pony in his mind. "Hopefully this pony will be bothered how an object just got up and floated away." The strange pony turned his head towards where he had left poor confused pony. "Haha, I bet she is still sitting there with he-. Oh boy…"
Meanwhile, a blue stallion, Candle, was walking down the streets of Ponyville with a flower in his mouth, which was for his beloved, Dandy. He was happily humming along when suddenly he saw a floating sandwich quickly coming his way.
The strange pony was at full gallop looking back at Berry Punch who was gaining on him.
"GEEZE, this pony must really want this sandwich back!" said the strange pony looking back at his pursuer. The strange pony looked back in front of him only to see he was about to collide with a Blue stallion. "OH SHO—" was all the strange pony could say before he collided with the blue pony both ponies were sent tumbling dropping whatever they had been carrying. They ended up tumbling towards a nearby fruit vender stall and violently crashing into it.
A few seconds later, Candle regained consciousness and rose himself up from the debris and shook his head.
"Hey, are you ok?" asked Berry as she ran up to help Candle up.
"I think so…" groaned the dazed blue pony. He shook his head and it suddenly struck him. He had lost the flower he was going to give his beloved Dandy. "My Flower! Where is it?" he exclaimed
"Umm…" hummed Berry as she looked around the area. "Ah! Is this it?" Berry said as she went over to the flower and picked it up with her mouth
"Yes! Thank you Miss!" graciously said thankful Stallion as he went over to Berry to grab the flower. Just about as he reached and grabbed the other end of the flower, a loud angry voice bellowed at them.
"AH HA! I KNEW IT!" said the mystery voice freezing both ponies. "YOU CHEATER! I KNEW YOU WERE SEEING SOMEONE ELSE!" yelled the mysterious voice once again. Both ponies, with now widen eyes slowly looked towards the direction the voice was coming from. Candle heart skipped a beat when he saw Dandy standing there with fumes coming from her ears. He then looked down and realized what it might have looked like he was doing from her view. He immediately let go and turned towards the angered Dandy.
"Baby, it's not what it looks like! I Swear!" exclaimed Candle.
"ITS OVER!" Dandy shouted back. She then promptly turned around and ran away crying.
"No wait! Come back I can explain!" cried out Candle as he dashed off after her
Berry stood there quite confused over the situation, but it soon disappeared as she remembered about her sandwich. She looked around and spotted her target. She happily trotted up to the sandwich with a grin on her face and sniffed it. She then lowered her head to take a bite.
Nearby, the strange pony awoke and lifted his head. He was quite dazed from the impact. He put a hoof on his head because his headache had come back.
"Whoa… What just happened?" He said looking around to grasp the situation. He then remembered what had happened and looked around for the sandwich. He spotted Berry who was happily eating her lunch.
"Fine, you can have it." said the strange pony admitting his defeat. He looked down at the debris that had broken his fall. He noticed some fruit that mixed in there. He looked through the fruit and picked out four apples. He pulled himself out of the debris and walked by the vender who owned the stall.
"Ya, I'll be taking these…I'll pay you back when I get the chance…" said the strange pony in a flat tone. However, the vendor just sat there horrified, watching the four apples floating away.
It was about noon, when the strange pony woke from his short nap. He got up to stretch and looked at the four apple cores he had eaten for lunch.
"It's not much, but at least it's something." Said the pony trying give light of the situation. He let out a sigh as soon as he remembered about his problem. "Oh right… I'm still invisible" The strange pony began thinking about the worst case scenario where he would be stuck like that forever. Still feeling a little drowsy from the nap he just had, he gave out a long yawn.
"Sleepy?" said a mysterious voice.
"aaawaah… Nah I just woke-" the strange pony stopped mid-sentence when he realized someone had talked to him. He looked down from his yawing position to meet two bulging eyes right in his face.
"Hiya!" said the bubbly pink pony "I'm Pinkie Pie!"
