A new day had just begun in Ponyville and Emerald Leaf just received the key of his new house, where he will live during his stay in Ponyville. He has just moved into Ponyville to work in Sugarcube Corner, where he will learn how to bake. He was pretty nervous to go to his new house because he has a roommate that he has never met before! When he arrived at his new house, he waited a few seconds to gather some courage and the opened the door. He saw a pale blue unicorn with dark and pale purple manes unpacking moving boxes.

''Hey, my name is Emerald Leaf. You must be my new roommate.''

Amethist Melody had also just arrived to Ponyville that day. It was early day of spring and she had just receieved a full-time job in Ponyville school. She was kind of nervous as she entered Ponyville for the first time, leaving the train. "This place looks way different than Canterlot does", she thought as she looked at the map trying to figure where the house she rented her stay was. She looked around, making sure she doesn't catch eye contact with anyone. The place seemed pleasant, but she was always unconfortable around new ponies. And most of the old ponies. She was unconfortable around ponies. That's why she decided to work with children, they are far better than their adult counterparts. She sighed while thinking about this.

Lost in thought, she realized she came to the place she was staying in far quicker than she assumed she would. "Huh, this place is so small! Going from one part to the other in Canterlot would have taken ages!" She didn't realize she said it aloud so she screamed when she heard Emerald Leaf.

"Oh... sorry... it's nice to meet you. My name is Amethist Melody," she said.

''Nice to meet you too." Emerald answered.

Emerald became pretty nervous as he was in a room with a somepony he had never met before. At first, he wanted to escape to his own room but then he thought he could better act like he wasn't nervous to make a better first impression - he was going to live with her in the same house after all. He was trying to think of something to say but couldn't come up with anything good enough, so he just wanted to ask her is she needed any help. After all, Emerald's moving boxes hadn't arrived yet. He walked towards Amethist Melody and.....

''Auch!'' Emerald exclaimed, as he just tripped over a moving box!

Amethist was quite nervous herself, but seeing Emerald tripping over a box made her chuckle a little. "Sorry," she said after that. "I shouldn't have laughed, that was rude. Are you hurt?" In reality, she was mostly amused because the clumsiness of the awkward pony she met reminded her of herself. "We might actually get along," she thought, not aloud.

"I'm so tired from a journey. Are you for a cup of coffee?" she asked, assuming that's what would be polite to ask.

Emerald felt really embarrassed as he just tripped over a box during the first meeting with his roommate! He hoped she'd forget about it soon!

''I'm okay, thanks! A cup of coffee would be great, I can definitely use some, as you can see!'' he answered.

Emerald got back up and said: ''We can go to this restaurant I saw on my way here, I saw they have coffee and muffins!''

Amethist gigled at the comment. "Yeah, I see. No worries, I'm barely any less clumsy than you are," she added, while awkwardly looking around the house. "Once, I spilled soda on my aunt, when she came visit. My mum was yelling on me for hours after that," she said, blushing, but she smiled. She hoped sharing that story would make her new acquaintance feel at least somewhat better. "You know, unicorns are supposed to be elegant and all that bullshit."

"There's a job to be done here, ha?" she added, finally seeing how messy the place was.

She nodded at the mention of a restaurant. "Yeah, I'm totally for it. Where is that restaurant? And it's not a... crowded place? If you know what I mean." She looked nervous while saying this.

After hearing her story Emerald already felt slightly more comfortable as they at least had one thing in common.

''The restaurant is right down the street, it wasn't very crowded when I saw it earlier today'' Emerald answered.

Emerald and Amethist walked to the restaurant and chose a table in the sun on the terrace. They both ordered coffee and chocolate muffins. Just when Emerald wanted to take the first bite out of his muffin, he noticed a pink pony with a curly pink mane that was walking right towards their table! She was carrying a basket full of delicious looking pastries.
