Hello again everypony! Thank you for all the awesome feedback! But anyway, let's cut to the chase, here's chapter 2!
Chapter 2
"Now are you sure you can walk?" Ashbi asked nervously. "For the last time Asbi, I can walk on my own." I said impatiently. She backed up, ready to catch me if I fell. "Well, if that forehoof has healed properly, you should be able to walk, and maybe, leave." That lifted my spirits a little. I first pressed my left hoof onto the ground then my second. Surprisingly, it didn't hurt my hoof as much as I thought it would. Then, I started to walk, then gallop, then run! I loved the feeling of the wind in my mane again! I laughed in joy, then ran up to Ashbi and the doctor.
"Looks like it's better!" Ashbi exclaimed. I looked at the doctor, he was writing something on his clipboard. "Yes, you should be able to leave tomorrow, or today." I nodded, and that was enough of an answer to him. After I was done packing my things, the doctor gave me a house brochure. "If you're staying here, then you will want to have a place to stay." I levitated it with my horn and nodded my thanks. I could barely contain myself, I was finally getting out of this place!
I took a deep breath and walked through the doors. Bag over my shoulder, I trotted into the town square. The first thing I saw was an apple stand run by a blonde pony with a tan coat. I walked up to her and bought an apple. "Thank ya' for your business." She said. I dropped the bits into her hoof and trotted back into the square. I shuffled around in my bag for the brochure the doctor gave me. I brought it out and read it. '729 colts street.' It said. I mean, it looked okay for a house, but kind of secluded, what with it being in the middle of a freaking field! Definitely not that one.
I decided on the room in carousel boutique. I guess I was getting a housemate! I started to head that way when I ran into Ashbi. "Oh, hi! Where are you going?" She asked. "I was just on my way to the Carousel Boutique." I replied. "I'm on my way to my new job, well it's not much of a job, but I'm going to work on a farm with Applejack!" I tilted my head in confusion. But before I could ask who that was Ashbi continued, "Applejack is a farm pony. She's really nice! You should come and meet her with me!" I shook my head. "Maybe later Ash, I have to get to my new home and check it out first." I think I saw a flash of anguish in her eyes, but the moment I saw it, it was gone. "Ok, I'll see you later!"
By the time I got to Carousel Boutique, I seen a beautiful white coated mare, with a purple mane that looked like it was flowing. I walked up to her; she was carrying some cloth and a couple gems. "Hello, my name is Cloudmist, I heard you had a housemate opening?" She levitated the things she was carrying and put them into a wagon. "Oh, yes darling! I was just disposing of this waste. Yes, you can have the upstairs bedroom." She started to hook herself up to the wagon but I stopped her. "Let me take this, after all, you shouldn't be doing this kind of labor! I said. She looked to be blushing. "Oh, darling, thank you! Now I can get back to my work!" I strapped myself up and headed to the dump. After I came back to my room, the mare was measuring some velvet. I walked in and leaned on the door frame. "You never did tell me your name." She jumped and looked up at me with a bigger blush than before. "Oh, so sorry dear, my name is Rarity!" I nodded and smiled. "Rarity." I repeated, and blushed.
