Getting settled

Daylight rose over Equestria, and Canterlot was already bustling with ponies. At the train station, Lightning and his sister was waiting patiently for the introverted unicorn they were expecting. Both were unnecessarily early, much to Glowlight's dismay. Still tired, she was leaning on her brother's side resting her eyes. After a few minutes of waiting, Lightning spots Rainfall turning the corner and trotting towards them.

"Good Morning, Rain!" he greeted him happily.

"Ugh, your a morning person aren't you?" Rainfall replied rolling his eyes, stopping in front of him. Lightning simply laughed at the response. "You ready for today?"

"As ready as I'll ever be. I'm actually glad to get out of the city. I'm just worried about my studies with this Twilight Sparkle. I recieved a letter from Princess Luna last night telling me she's an Element of Harmony, and I already know her mentor is Princess Celestia herself. I'm kind of afraid of making a fool of myself in front of her." Rainfall stated.

"Well, look at it this way; you both have something in common. Your both being mentored by royalty. Besides she might be super nice, Celestia is." Lightning chipped in.

"Princess Celestia, and If you say so." Rain lowered his eyes with worry still pastered on his face. At that time the baby dragoness decided to reveal her horned head out from his saddle bag he was carrying. Glowlight's eyes lit up when she saw this.

"Wow, I never seen a baby dragon before," She finally spoke, now fully awake. "Hello!" the dragoness spoke. Rainfall regain his composure and felt the need to introduce her. "Her name is Beau, I'm supposed to take care of her since I hatched her. She's really stubborn." Beau ignored his comment and turned away with a pout. Lightning quickly noticed something about the dragon.

"Did she grow over night?" Lightning inquired.

" Yes, I did it so she would stop crying. Don't ask, it was the first thing that came to mind." He answered nonchalently. "So why are we here so early?" Rain asked Lightning.

"I thought it would be better to catch the first train. Also I wanted to see the new place Shining Armor promised," He answered.

"The train's coming!" Glowlight prompted as it was coming along the tracks and stopped. They boarded the train and as expected it was empty. Lightning chose his seat and was about to take off his bag with his wings, until he noticed Glowlight walking passed him. "What, you don't wanna sit next to me?"

"Yep" she answered loud and clear as she sat in a seat ahead of him. Lightning made a I-don't-care face and shrugged his carrier bag off his back and set it on the ground.

"Is this seat taken?" Lightning looked up in surprise. "Golden?"

"Hey Light, it's been a while." She smiled brightly. "Your going to Ponyville too?" He asked. This couldn't be coincidental. "Yes, I had a talk with the lieutenant as he left. He encouraged me to tag along with you since I know Ponyville. I will proudly be your escort and friendly assistant, since I've been there before as a filly," she happily clarified.

"Hm, okay." He said plainly and pulled out a hardback book from his bag with his hooves and started reading it. She was expecting him to ask her to explain further, but he didn't. The red stallion was always quick to accept things and was quite level headed. At least that's what she believed.

She wanted to tell him she was waiting for him, just outside of his evaluations and he practically fled passed her. But she decided against it, and kept it to herself. It was odd timing, but she rose up her camera using her magic and took a photo of them together. Lightning didn't seemed to mind. Satisfied with the picture, she put it safely in her bag and looked through the window of the moving train.

In the library of Ponyville, a young purple dragon was peacefully sleeping in his little bed. That's until the suns rays beamed down on his face. He responded by turning over, away from it and pulling his cover his head. Doing so he felt something touching his face. Lying there was a letter. 'Must have got that when I was sleeping,'. He thought, rubbing the sleep out of his eyes. Stretching his arms and legs out he grabbed the scroll and went down stairs to find Twilight.

Down stairs the purple unicorn was doing her usual morning readings from her books. She heard Spike coming down and towards her. "Morning Spike, you overslept again," she griped.

"I didn't oversleep, you just woke up early. Anyway, you got this," he gave Twilight the letter and she read it.

Dear Twilight Sparkle

I am writing to you about a matter that I wanted to bring to your attention before hoof and I hope you get this before your time of slumber. I am following my sister's example and took on an apprentice. However, my duties prevents me from starting his lessons personally. So for the time being I wish for him to study alongside you. His name is Rainfall Pours, a very promising and introverted unicorn colt. He knows what's expected of him and shouldn't be a nuisance. Also, I would appreciate it if you showed him the same friendship you bestow to me the night of Nightmare Night.

Sincerely, Princess Luna

"Well, what did it say," Spike asked anxiously.

"It's from Princess Luna and she's taken in a apprentice. Someone name Rainfall and we're going to be studying together," She explained.

"Really, finally somepony who's actually a guy. I've been surrounded by girls for so long. I can't wait to see him, When is he coming," he asked with glee.

"Possibly today since she sent this last night," she answered. "We might as well make the library look presentable for his arrival." Spike muttered something to himself from her response.

As the train pulled into Ponyville's station, Lightning and company had their own feelings about what they saw through the window. When the ride came to an end they exited the train and their feelings were more vivid. Golden seemed more upbeat to be back in town. Both in awe, Lightning and Glowlight were both disoriented and estatic. As for Rainfall, he was more nervous than before he got on the train.

Lightning, Glowlight, and Rainfall were in awe. Never before being away from the Canterlot city life, feeling flustered and out of their element. The town was very different than the city.

"Welcome to ponyville guys," Golden spoke up. "Come on, I'll show you around." Gold offered happily.

"No thanks for me, I need to find the library where Twilight Sparkle resides." Rainfall nonchalantly declined and withdrew from the group with his baggage and Beau.

"Is he okay?" Golden asked showing concern. Lightning waved his hoof. "He's fine, he's a little...introverted. So, shall we." Lightning egged on and Golden Lead the way.

trotting on his own, Rainfall admittedly found his new surroundings very appealing. It was lively and everypony seemed happy and full of energy, unlike the ponies in the city. In Canterlot, ponies were either obnoxiously uptight or just plain rude. Rainfall simply adapted to that life by steering clear away, secluding himself from that.

But this town seemed different in his eyes, everpony was friendly towards one another, something he wasn't exactly used to. He also noticed unsought stares as he passed through.

"Everyponies staring." Beau spoke while observing they're surroundings from inside the bag. "I've noticed." He responded and was admittedly on edge. Beau could feel he was shaking and was now feeling the same. "Well I don't like it." she chimed in and he couldn't help but agree. His stomach suddenly grumbled.

"Ugh, we should have gotten breakfast before heading out to the station back in Canterlot." Rainfall complained with closed eyes.

"But, wouldn't we have missed the train if we did?" She asked.

"That's, an accurate assumption." His stomach growled again, heavily this time. He sighed heatedly. "Regrettably accurate, darn it Lightning, we could have just as easily got on a later train at a different time. So hungry." he said with closed eyes. Beau then saw somepony running towards them in full speed.

"Uh, Rain..." She tried to warn but it was too late. A pink earthpony roughly tackles him to the ground standing overbearingly above him, eyes wide, blue and full of energy. She then gasped heavily.

"You, your new aren't you!" She questioned. "You must be new because I never seen you before and I know everypony in Ponyville. You don't look like you're from Ponyville so that means you're new and I love meeting new ponies and you're it." She continued on and on, asking him questions and not even giving him the time to respond because she continued rambling. "Oooh, you got pretty eyes. Your like a reverse ME and Canterloty. Are you from Canterlot, are ya, are ya, are ya?" She asked eagerly.

"Uh...yes," he answered awkwardly. She's very overwhelming.

She let out a cheer upon hearing his answer and giggled. "your kinda like my friend Fluttershy, she's super shy too." Something came to her mind at that second and she gasped again. "Oh, look I gotta go. But we'll talk soon, I Pinkie promise!" She said then running off. Rainfall was very much speechless from the encounter.

"Geez, and I thought Lightning was bubbly." Rainfall commented. He then felt another growl coming from his stomach. "I need food." Another grumble sounded but not his own. He then looked at Beau. "Well look around before we starve." she urged him. No complaints came from him, on that ask he looked and wondered around. Luckly he found himself in the marketplace and saw and approached what seemed to be an apple cart. Beau and Rainfall couldn't help but lick they're lips from the sight of what's in front of them.

"Howdy there, how can ah help ya?" An orange earthpony asked wearing a light brown farm hat and could easily hear a southern accent.

"I'll have two..."

"Three!" Beau pleaded.

"Three apples please?" He requested giving in to temptation. The farm pony surpressed a giggle from the two.

"Comin' right up," She grabbed each of them by the stem with her teeth and dropped them in a supply sack. That'll be three bit's fellas." Beau pulled three bits from his bag and placed them on the counter. She then grabbed the bag and pulled an apple out for herself and munched away. This amused the farm pony. Giving their thanks both were about to turn away until the farm pony spoke further.

"Yur new around here, aren't ya?" Rain turned back around and faced her. "Yes, I am." He answered politely.

"That makes sense, ah never seen ya'll before." She said with friendly smile. "Where ya'll from?" She asked.

Rainfall was about answered but Beau spoke for him. "We're from Canterlot."

"Well ain't that dandy livin, ah have a friend that's from there. What bring ya'll here?" She asked eagerly.

"Uh, studying purposes," He thought up, without revealing too much. She probably wouldn't want to get involve. "Wanderin' around with a baby dragon and talkin' about studin'. Ya'll remindin' me of my friend." She said laughing gleefully. He had to admit, she had a attractive laugh that complimented her accent.

"Ya'll seem nice enough, the name's Applejack." Extending her hoof. shuck her hoof and introduced himself. "Rainfall Pours, and she's Beau."

"Nice meetin' ya Rainfall, ya'll too Beau. If ya'll ever need anything I'm ya'll gal." She happily offered. Rainfall and Beau exchanged glances and back to Applejack.

"Actually, can you give us directions to the local library?"

After highlighting her favorite spots in Ponyville, Golden lead Lightning and his sister to the Town Hall. There they encountered the receptionist at her desk.

"Hello, how can I help you." she stated.

"Hi there, I would like to speck to the mayor of the town please. My name is Lightning Sparks." Lightning informed.

"Yes, hold on one moment please." She said leaving to fetch he boss. Moments later followed by her, Mayor Mare came furth.

"Mr. Sparks, it's nice to meet you. I wasn't expecting you until later on today. But never mind that. I am Mayor Mare, the mayor of our humble little abode. I would like to say congratuation on your employment as overseer of Ponyville and I and everypony here welcomes you."

"Thank you, I'm looking forward to my line of work. Is everything taken care of for me," Lightning regarded.

"Yes, Shining Armor has already taken care of all expenses and I will notify him of your arrival." Major then glaced at Glowlight. "And for the little one there's a schoolhouse not too far from here."

"Hey that sounds swell right Glow, you ready to start school today." Lightning urged merrily at her. " Yeah that sounds swell." Glowlight responded snarkily.

"Your residance is by a lovely view of the river and i'd be happy to provide you a marked map of Ponyville to get you there." She offered. Lightning humbly accepted the map and the three of them went well on their way. The next place they were headed to Lightning and Glowlight's new home.

On the way following the map the three come into a clearing with very few surrounding trees. After moments of walking and talking a house became visible resting on a small hill. Eager to pratically into the house, Lightning sees a gray mare standing by the house. Lightning approached the mare and she did just the same, only more excitedly.

"Hello miss," He spoke first. The mare turned around and Lightning quickly noticed her eyes condition. She had wall eyes, giving off a derpy expression.

"Hi, you must be the new pony thats going to live here. Sorry, I sorta crashed the last bed at you're wall. Luckily there wasn't a whole this time." She laughed awkwardly.

"Ditzy, hey how are you. It's been ages." Golden greeted the mare. Ditzy looked at her and gasped heavily with excitement. "Gold! Yes it's been so long, how was your trip to Baltimare?"

"It was great, I have a lot great pictures I would love to show you and Carrot Top."

"Cool! So who is this, is he you're coltfriend?" Lightning and Golden blushed heavily from that, prartically panicking. Glowlight snickering behind them. Lightning remained silent while Gold spoke for the both of them. "No, no no. We're longtime friends. We knew each other since we were fillies."

"Name's Lightning, just call me Light. And don't worry about the bed, Gold and I can handle it. No harm done."

"Okay, It's nice to meet you Light. Gold, we should catch up. We can all grab some muffins sometime, Light included. Bye guys." She took off flying as Light and Gold watch her leave.

"Well she's nice, her name definitely suits her. Now, can you help us get this inside? It would be easier if we had more magic." Lightning asked standing next to the bed.

"Sure."

Following the directions Applejack gave, Rainfall was set up on the right path to the location of the libaray and Twilight. Walking there he could see the libaray that AJ informed him on that looks oddly enough like a huge treehouse.

A whirlpool of emotions spiraled in the back of his mind. He only knows so much about this particular mare. For somepony who hails from Canterlot, she could very well be somepony that would act a certain negative way. Reaching his destination, he just stared at. His nerves were bad and hooves were partically shaking.

"Go in already." Beau urged. Rainfall glared at his companion and let out a nerve cooling sigh. With that he stretched out his arm and opened the door. Inside revealed a large room, with shelves embeded in the walls compiled with many books.

"Hello." Rainfall called out and waited for a response as he wandered the room. "Be right with you, just one moment." voice answered from up stairs. Hearing that Rainfall waited patiently and viewed the books on the shelves. Much like a normal libaray the books were displayed into specific category.

"Sorry, my assistant and I had to take care of something." Rainfall turned around to see a purple pony with eyes to match. "And you are?"

"My name is Rainfall Pours. Are you Twilight Sparkle?" He asked.

"Yes, so your the one Princess Luna wrote about. It's nice to meet you, Rainfall. It seems we are going to be working together."

"Yes we are." Rainfall said, still rubbing his hooves together nervousily. 'she seems nice enough.' he contempated. 'He seems bit nervous.'

"I sense your a little nervous. I have an idea, how about a game of Ice breaker?" Twilight offered.

"Ice breaker?" Beau inquired while climbing out of the bag. "It's a game where you ask each other questions to get to know them." He answered flawlessly.

"Yes." 'A dragon? Spike will be happy about that.' Twilight thought.

"Okay, I'm up for it."

"Twilight, is that the new pony?" Spike asked coming down the stair. He gasped at the mere sight of not the new pony, but the dragoness at his side. Seeing her, Spike fell silent and very... The lose of words were very unsual but understandable to Twilight. Give their history, her little companion has never been in a presents of another of his kind; his size and age of course. Beau was in the same position, both continued to just starred one another. Unsure how to go about the situation, Rainfall wanted to move on.

"Well then, shall we begin?" The mare nodded and so they did. The two finally sat down and talked, even Spike and Beau joined in. In the mist of the game, the two unicorns realized that they had a lot more in common. Rainfall wasn't exactly a fanatic for science, but was one for results and discovery. It took a while at first for the blue unicorn, but he gradually began to build his trust for for the mare. To himself he admitted that he was wrong at the mare. Then said, "I'm sorry," in a low calm voice. Twilight asked what for but he just smiled. It wasn't a big smile, but simply reasuring. Eventually they ended the game between them while Spike and Beau continued. Must of their conversation was mostly about their own spiece and became fast friends right away.

In the end Rainfall and Twilight just talked as friends would. He already trusts her, though he remained shy and quiet. Twilight simply pegged Rainfall as a 'good listener.' He informed the mare that he spoke to two ponies upon arriving. A pink and farm ponies. He already met two of her friends. That brought joy to her saying it made her day even brighter. He was eventually going to have to meet them. All of them.

(Sandwish shop)

After getting the bed inside Lighting's new house and dropping Glowlight off at the schoolhouse, he finally had some time to had some one on one time to reconnect with his fillyhood friend Golden Hour. The two stopped at small restaurant and ate outside of...

"I'm glad everything went smoothly." Lightning said as he took a bite out of his sandwish.

"Yeah, I'm sure your going to take your new job seriously." Golden said almost sarcasically eating her share that Lightning graceously paid for.

"I sense sarcasm. I don't know if i showed feel flattered or ensulted."

"Relax, I was only kidding. You're still easy tease Lightning." Golden giggled intently, covering her mouth with her hooves. With that response Lightning pouted, poofing out his cheeks like a foal would. At that moment he was really trying to get a rise out of her, just like she did to him. Golden laughed more followed by him, together. It ended with a sigh.

"I really missed those moments, us laughing together. It's been way to long,

"Speck of which, how are the others, are they okay?"

"Well, Neon moved to Marehatten. Coffee moved to Los Pegasus, and then you left. While I obviously stayed to trained for E.U.P with Snow. For a while it was just me, Glow, and him. Besides the time uncle Snow would visit to train me, it was getting kinda lonely. Then I met Rainfall."

"The blue pony that got on the train with you."

"Yeah. I wasn't kidding when I said he was introverted. After hard day of training I was on my home and spotted two ponies and him in an alley way. Both were bigger and were picking on him. I could just stand there and let it happen, so I engaged and prevented the situation. We spoke for a little while with me doing most of the talking. He remained silent through most of it. I finally asked what cause them to act that way. He simply said his eyes and how he would avoid others. The ill-treatment he receives was a daily thing. He didn't have any friends what-so-ever and never spoke of having parents. He was by himself, so I took him under my wing and befriended him. He does seem bothered by it anyway."

"Wow, that's really sweet of you Light. You just can't help yourself from helping ponies. Like me of course."

"It is because of you I got my Cutie Mark. The day we first met." He said happily. hidding her bashfulness, she took another bit from her sandwish.'There's no argueing with you. You got yours on your own.'

"I hope Glow is okay." He stated with worry in his voice. "I'm sure she's fine." Golden assured.

Glowlight's POV

After dropping me off at schoolhouse and briefly talked to the teacher, whose name I did not catch. Cheerliee, I believe. As I took my seat I spotted some differences. For one thing; the school looked really small. Large enough for a full class at least, as well contain all races unlike canterlot. There were Earth, Pegasus, and Unicorn fillies entering the room. So did the teacher, who I just noticed was an Earth pony. While everypony took their seats she stood in front of the class.

"Today we are going to finish up on what we were working on yesterday. But first I would like to entroduce a new pony in class today." She then waved signaling me to come forward next to her. Bitting my lip I slowly trotted there and spoke nervousily.

"Hello, my name is Glowlight. "

"Great another Blank Flank, and she has weird fangs too."

"Diamond Tiara! Glowlight, you may sit back down." I complied and sat back in the back. Cheerliee soon began her lecture. I just listened intently, with my resting my head on my hooves.

"Hey" I turned to the student beside me.

"What." I responded a bit too harshly. That Diamond Tiara pony really upset me. "I'm Chestnut," he continued whispering. His name matched his fur color and had a tan combed mane. His eyes pratically glowed stirringly, as they were strikingly mint green.

"You should pay attention," I retorted, not taking my eyes away from Cheerilee. "She right you know." The foal to my right whispered, catching my attention. He was almost identical, except his fur was slightly darker and his mane was red. "Name's Pecan, the three of us can talk after class." He quietly said. Chestnut gave a reasurring smile at me and returned his attention back at the teacher. I didn't know what to think of this, and couldn't help but smile bashfully. I just became acquainted by two ponies. Both were foals, I wonder how Lightning is going to take the news.

(5 hours later, night)

After a long first day with Golden Hour, Lightning picked up Glowlight from school and was heading back to their new place of residance. Upon arriving to the new location the first time they failed to pick and choose their own rooms. All the more reason to get there. That until Lightning rencountered with his gold coated friend at his door.

"Hey Gold, what's going on?" Ask with concern.

"Lightning, I-we need you're help. There's something going on at the Town Hall." She informed fretfully out of breath.

Completely taken by the news, Lightning stood in place. Not from fright, but from excitement. "Oh I am not missing this." He chanted, leaving Golden and his sister in the dust. Glowlight Deadpaned of the sight of her brother leaving both of them without a second thought.

"Yet again, he gets into a situation without thinking."

"Follow me Glowlight, Lightning will be fine." Golden asurred her, leading her back to the town. Lightning made a mad dash back to the Town Hall. It was close to dinner hour, and as he was going he saw no lights were on in any of the houses. Everything was dark, including the town Hall. There he sees two ponies standing by the doorway. Both blinding in well at night.

"Rain, what are you doing here so late?"

"Lightning. Twilight, brought me here." Reffering to the mare next to him. 'So she's Twilight Sparkle, General Shining Armor spoke about. And around when something's going on. This must be what he meant.'

"Sorry you two, it's best if you stay out here. Sheriff business."

"What I-" Twilight started but Lightning barged through the doors. Immdealy the lights came on revealing herds of ponies with party hats, and a welcome sign hanging above them. It said 'Welcome' as well as the ponies that cheered it. Lightning was speechless, eyes wided, and dumbfouded. Rainfall causally walked in and looked around, completely calm.

"Wasn't expecting this." Rainfall stated.

"So this was a welcoming party, for us?" Lightning question

"Yup, planned by my close friend Pinkie Pie." Twilight said. "It's nice to meet you by the way Lightning, Rainfall spoke about you." Stated as Golden next to her.

"What did he-"

"Hellloooo, I'm Pinkie Pie and I threw this party for the both of you. Why have three seprate parties when you can have one big one! You were surprised, I could tell." Pinkie cheered energetically and close. Before he could answere and question her about the third she mention Pinkie bounced off in front of Rainfall. "And you, did you like what I did for you two Reverse-me" She asked eagerly.

"This is...nice I suppose. Thanks, Pinkie." He answered awkwardily. Pinkie Pie let out a joyful squeal and jumped surprisingly high and shouted,"Finally everyponies here, now lets party!" she cheered, pulling out her confette cannon and firing it within the crowd.

"What did she mean by three?"

"It's possible we weren't the only ones to arrive in Ponyville. The trains does have scheuled times you know." Golden honestly clarified. "So, what now?" Rainfall inquired.

"Have fun and mingle." Golden retorted and bolted off.

"I know, you can meet the rest of my friends. You already met AJ and Pinkie, I'll be just a moment." Twilight said and entered the crowd. After that Lightning turned to Rainfall.

"So how is she, is she nice?" He queried. Rainfall rubbed his hooves and answered sheepishly. "She's...relatable." "You two are related?" He responded, raising an eyebrow.

"No. We have a lot in common, you were right." Rainfall admitted. Lightning chuckled hearing that. "Aren't I always," He stated teasingly. Moments later Twilight came back and with her friends; two are familar and two others.

"I'm back." Twilight announced. "Hiya Rain, remember me." Applejack spoke up ending with a tittered. 'There goes that laugh again.' Rainfall thought slightly blushing. 'She has a cute laugh.' Lightning thought as he smiled.

"You already met Pinkie and AppleJack. The ones you don't know are Futtershy, and Rainbow Dash. These are my friends." Rainbow dash landed in front and examined them both. Seeing Lightning more interesting and bulky in structure while Rainfall was smaller.

"Say, you work out?" She suddenly asked. "Yes, whenever I can." Lightning retorted finding the sudden question slightly odd. " Ya'll sure do look like ya do. You're about the same size as my brother." Applejack commented. "Name's Applejack. And the self centered one here is Rainbow Dash."

Rainfall and Fluttershy conjugated. staying silent through out the conversation, but surveying each other. Yet again, another pony that Rainfall could relate to. He even introduced himself and she did the same. "Unforturnately, one of my friends were too busy to come out tonight. She runs a boutique across town." Twilight brought forward. "That's okay, we can meet her another time, right Rain." Lightning reponded turning over to see a departed unicorn. He had an nack for disappearing on certain thing and being in a crowd only made it easier.

Enjoying his time Lightning couldn't let something like this pass him by, especially since it is his welcome party. So he went all out, dancing his hooves away and was easily the life of the party dancing with Pinkie. He was having the time of his life. Never been to parties such as this in Canterlot, ever. If he knew about Ponyville at the beginning, he would have been here from the get go. Watching from the side lives Golden watching. Seeing Pinkie Pie and Lightning dancing together, she couldn't help but feel envious. She had to admit, she did have a small crush on him when they were little. But they were just having fun, that's what they naturely do, especially Pinkie.

She happily let it go and went to get some apple punch that Applejack happily brought, until she saw a familar white stallion strolled in through the front doors. Her eyes went big after realizing who it was mouthed the words 'oh no'. It was the lieutenant, without his armor. In sight she knew he was looking right at Lightning. She Wanted to rush over and warn her dear friend but...

"Lightning Sparks!" He shouted, catching the garnet stallion off guard stumbling. Everypony. From the mere sight of his mentor, his uncle, he felt his heart beating faster in fright. The pegasus stood stern-faced.

"Lieutenant Snow!" He hastfully soluted. Two more enter along side the white stallion. "Lightning, may I have a word with you. Outside, now." Said turned to leave and the two guards followed. Lightning sauntered to the door, head low ready to be lectured. Outside Snow waited with narrowed eyes and Lightning remained silent. The two guards were ill at ease for the garnet stallion, watching by the door. Before words could be made, Glowlight came rushing out and towards Snow. "Uncle Snow! It good to see you. did you miss me, Did you miss me?" She chanted ecstatically, rubbing her head his chest. Waiting for any answer she looked up with a delighted smile, his answer would determine the the atmosphere of the conversation.

"Nope." He smiled fondly, messing up her hair. 'Safe' "Lieutenant Snow?"

"At ease Lightning. I'm not speaking to you as a higher power, but as now a concerned uncle." He began. "I see you're fitting in well with the ponies that live here. What exactly is this, festivity, you're attending?" He asked

"It's a welcoming party that the citizens through for us." Lightning explained.

'I see, It's just that I came all this way to see if you moved in well and that everything is up to satisfactory. And that is not all, being the one who suggested the idea to our general, I believe you ultimately can't do this alone. I'm sure your acquainted with the gate guards Bouclier and Lance. These two shall assist you in your endeavor if needed, to keep an eye on the town." Both waved as were being introduced.

"I will also drop in on you from time to time thanks to the general's approval. You and I both know it ease getting to places when you're a pegasus. I expect some kind of report when i do."

"Yes sir," Lightning nodded. "Yes, Uncle Snow." He corrected. "Farwell for now, my niece and nephew." He said he turned to take flight, flying back to canterlot. The four watched him go, until he disappeared into the night. A yawn was heard from Glowlight and that was a sign that it was time. All that were left was Lance and Bouclier who were standing there. "I gotta take my sis home. You two enjoy the party, alright." He said walking his sister back to their new home and the two compled. The first day was finally realized marking the day's end and but just the beginning.

This certainly is bigger than the first chapter. I put a lot of thought into it, maybe too much. If you liked it please give me your thoughts and opinions. I'm even open to ideas and possible OC appearances. Okay, bye. :)
