Hi Guys! Another Chapter of "Shadows of Corruption" Hope you like it!
It was morning in Ponyville and everypony was doing their work. In a bush not far near the town, Heartsy darted through the bushes trying to find a place to look at the town. She finally found a large bush and she peeked out to see the town. She had heard that Ponyville was a wonderful place with all different kinds of ponies! Earth, Unicorn and Pegasus. Heartsy knew that if she walked into Ponyville, Everypony will freak out and run away. But she had a plan.
"Okay…. Let's see what disguise I have" said Heartsy using her magic to see a light green cloud with different pony disguises.
"Hmm…. Which one? All these look boring and dull." Heartsy said annoyed. She flipped through the disguises trying to find the right one until…..
"Wait….. That's it!" Heartsy pointed her hoof to a disguise. The disguise was a pink Pegasus with a turquoise and purple mane. Her cutie mark has a pink heart with a paintbrush painting a rainbow onto it.
"Ahh… This is perfect! Now the ponies won't recognize me!" said Heartsy happily as she wondered into the town.
Nearby, ponies of all kinds were strolling through the town. Many were talking with friends, ordering food, picking up groceries, and generally minding their own business. Nerves peaked in Heartsy's mind. She had never been so close to ponies without needing to feed before. What if she didn't blend in? After shaking the idea out of mind, she trots into the middle of the town.
Immediately, a yellow Earth Pony with dark blue eyes met her gaze.
"Hellooooooo!" She exclaimed, "I just happened to see you poking around the bushes! Did you lose something?
Heartsy is taken back by the pony's overwhelming sense of friendliness, "Oh! Um no I was just... looking around...
The yellow pony's eyes shift into a confused gaze, "Wait a second... have I seen you around here before? You don't look familiar...
Now nervous and slightly more frazzled, Heartsy says, "Um... I'm a bit newer to town actually. I just got here this morning!"
A huge smile graces the yellow pony's face, "Well why didn't you say so!"
The yellow pony took Heartsy's hoof and shook it violently.
"My name is Peacock!" she said happily. Heartsy groaned as she saw her hoof red and swollen like a beach ball.
Out of breath and slightly bamboozled, Peacock asks, "Oh yeah! By the way…what's your name?!"
Laughing slightly, Heartsy answers, "I'm HeartsyArtsy! Though most ponies just call me Heartsy."
"HeartsyArtsy? That's a great name!" said Peacock loudly. The clock bell rang from the tower. Heartsy covered her ears. She had NEVER had great experiences with loud noises. After the clock rang, Peacock looked at the clock and screamed. Everypony turned their head to see Peacock bouncing up and down. Heartsy blushed in embarrassment and used her wings to cover her face.
"NO! I AM SO LATE!" Peacock yelled. Everypony looked on in horror.
"COME ON HEARTSY! WE NEED TO GO! NOW!" Peacock grabbed Heartsy's hoof and they took off in a cloud of smoke. Everypony muttered to themselves and went back to their daily lives.
Heartsy screamed as herself and Peacock found themselves running through Ponyville at lighting speed. Then Peacock suddenly stopped and Heartsy flung straight into the air. Heartsy luckily stopped herself from flying into a cart of apples and flew back to Peacock.
"PEACOCK!? What? How? Why?" Heartsy asked totally shocked and out of breath.
"Oh! Sorry about that. I am SUPER hyperactive! So that's why I tend to get a little crazy! Anyways, here we are!" Peacock pointed to a large building that looked like a cake. The sign on the door said: Sugarcube Corner. Heartsy thought that name was appropriate for the building.
Peacock and Heartsy entered the building where they saw a group of friends different from each other. There was two unicorns, three Pegasi, two earth ponies and one large blue dragon.
"Guys! Over here!" Peacock shouted that grabbed the attention of the group. They stared at Peacock and Heartsy and smiled.
"You're here! We were wondering when you showed up!" said a dark blue Pegasus.
"C'mon! Sit down! Join us!" a white earth pony.
Peacock and Heartsy walked over to the group and the two ponies sat down. Everypony looked at Peacock, confused. There was another pony!?
"Guys! I will like to introduce a pony I met today! This is HeartsyArtsy!" Peacock said looking at the pink Pegasus. Heartsy shyly waved her hoof in embarrassment. She had never been introduce to a large amount of ponies before.
"Um… Nice to meet you! I'm HeartsyArtsy! Though you can just call me Heartsy!" She said happily.
"Well, here we have! PK, Starfire, Cuddlebuttons, Sky, Shaky, Shutterbug, Professor Haystacks, PK, Rose and Paige!" said Peacock pointing at them. The group waved at Heartsy happily.
"So, here are you from Heartsy?" said PK sipping on a chocolate milkshake.
"Um…. Cloudsdale? Yeah! Cloudsdale!" said Heartsy nervously eating a blueberry muffin that Peacock handed to her.
"Ok then? Heartsy, do you have a place to stay?" Sky said eating a custard tart.
Heartsy's eyes widen as she heard those words. She didn't think to plan this far! She didn't know where to stay!
"You can stay at my house? We can party all night!" asked PK.
"Or you could come to mine? I can tell you all about Physics and Chemical reactions?" asked Professor Haystacks taking a bite out of his red-velvet cake.
"OR MINE!?" asked Peacock. Everypony turned and gave her a look. Peacock giggle nervously and shrunken down in her seat.
"How about Star's place? She is a great host!" asked Shaky sipping on a fuzzy drink.
"Alright! Star, you don't mind do you?" asked Heartsy turning to look at Star who was tapping her fork against a glass cup.
"Hmm….. Oh Yes! I don't mind at all" said Star shyly smiling.
Starfire's house is a little cottage outside of Ponyville. Heartsy was taken away from how beautiful the house was. The house was made out of white clouds. She had bushes around the house that were covered in rainbow flowers. A sandstone path lead up to her house. Star opened the door and inside the house was even MORE beautiful. The house had two sides. On the left, it had a kitchen that was a little pink. On the right, it had a living room with a table that had a bunch of roses. In the middle of the room had a large water fountain decoration with little rainbow roses embedded into it.
After dinner, Star showed Heartsy her room. Her room was little blue. Her room had a dark pink rug, she also had light yellow cupboards on the side of the room. Her bed was light red with rose – shaped pillows. The windows were large but big enough to see the stars glowing in the night sky.
"So, Heartsy, Do you like it here in Ponyville?" asked Starfire as Heartsy got into her PJs.
"Yeah! Ponyville is AWESOME! Your friends are really nice! I never had friends like that…." said Heartsy, her voice going softly as she remembered what changelings had thought of her.
"Really? Wow…. Well…. You need to get some rest, Heartsy! Tomorrow, we have quite a big day!" said Star as she turned off the light and walked towards the door.
"Right! Good Night Star!" said Heartsy as she hopped into bed and got under the covers.
"Good Night Heartsy…" said Star. She shut the door and Heartsy leaped in the air, cheering. She had arrived in Ponyville and met some friends! Heartsy got back into bed and turned to face the window. The stars glowed and Heartsy closed her eyes and fell asleep.
