open Life in Ponyville -Slice of life-

"Haha I'm sure I'm not the only pony here with sophisticated taste, oh and hey if you want I could bring you some salsa when I finish it! So I'll take two bushels of cilantro and here's four bits for it." He looked over at the pony next to him and greeted him with a friendly "Hello how are you and hows your day been?" He smiled the whole time, he just couldn't get the mare off his mind.

[The-Master 1,176]

"Hmm? Oh, um, sorry. It's just not often you get much in terms of variety in town. Everypony seems contempt with an apple based diet." Star Keeper looked across the array of carrots, admiring the array. "It's nice when you get the chance to try something different." He looked back up to the vendor. "Do you by any chance have any romanesco?"

[Curry Pinch 34]

''Romanesco? For sure, they are growing like crazy out on my farm. It's three bits a head, see they are pretty big. Funny how ponies are often afraid of buying them, even if I sell them for the same price they still go for regular cauliflower, even romanesco tastes the same, it just looks extra cute with those spikes, don't you think so?'' chattered a bit surprized Muffin, while she packed up cilantro for the dark pegasus.

 

suddenly her ears spiked up as she heard a word she hadn't heard since she arrived in ponyville. ''Did you say guacamole? goodness, I haven't had any in nearly a year! I want to plant an avocado tree in my yard, but you know, it will be years until it bears fruit! I would love to have some! If it's no trouble for you, of course!''

 

Muffin started to feel a little anxious. Two sophisticated ponies in one day, that was a lot! she noticed that she was stomping with her hind hooves and forced herself to stop

[Courageous Thunder Dash 7,824]

Sometimes, Thunder-Dash would be found riding his skateboard around Ponyville, which he might run into Scootaloo. He privately taught Scootaloo how to skateboard. Scootaloo said it was hard and prefered to ride her scooter instead. She often would watch Thunder-Dash perform tricks on the various objects around Ponyville.

 

After skateboarding around town, he would stop by Twilight Sparkle's library and see what new books were in stock. Like his sister, he was in to "The Adventures of Daring Doo". He was also interested in the new Pony Secret Agent Series. It takes him five days to get through one book in the series.

[Pr3datorTaco 169]

Rainy got a confused look on his face."Huh? Guacamole? Uhh no ma'am i don't think I ever mentioned guacamole wait...did I? I know i was talking about Salsa but not guacamole sorry. But if I do happen to come across some avocados I'll be sure to make some if it! But until then the salsa is still a opportunity!" He looked at the colt beside him and said. "You could have some to if you'd like?"

@MelancholicMemory

 

Jumping slightly in surprise, Angel Feather quickly grasped her gel pen tighter with her magic so she wouldn't drop it and embarrass herself. But she still felt embarrassed, sure that this pony must have noticed her jump. Angel blushed.

But still, Angel looked up at her and gave her a soft smile. "Oh, hello. I'm just writing...a...story," Angel smiled.

[Iron Wing 237]

"Excuse my manners, my name is Toushitei Heartlocke, but ponies mostly just call me Starstream. The pleasure is all mine miss Iron Wing

"Nice to meet you Starstream. Just call me Iron. I am sure i have seen a nice Cafe some streets ahead from here. I think we should go to that one." she said while starting to walk. It was a nice day and much ponies were outside and talking to each other. She was wondering how many ponies she get to know today. Perhaps there were some nice ponies within the Cafe to talk to. Would be nice.

 

"I mean no offence when I say this but you are a truely beautifull mare"

Iron Wing blushed by the sentence of Draco. He was a sweet one but he was much too intrusive. She stepped forward to take the lead. "Well... just lets get to the Cafe." she answered to that. If Iron Wing would know more ponies she would love to make a little partie within the basement of the watchtower. She had created a little party room there so it would be awesome to use it. But first she had to get to know some new ponies or even make some friends. Iron Wing didn´t had much friends in her past, but perhaps this would change within Ponyville. She walked down the streets until she saw the Cafe.

 

"This place seems nice..." she said while looking for a free table. She got a big table that was for more than 6 ponies and took a seat. She ordered some cake and a mint tea for her, waiting for the others to sit down and place their order.

[dragon4111 914]

Draco walked into the cafe' slowly as he ordered a latte'. He sat down at a table and waited for his latte'. He sighed as his eyes looked alittle forlorn. His family's death's aniversary is coming up and he needed to get the incence which was more pricey than his average pay.

[Colt 555]

By the time he reached the Willow at the top of the hill the sun was going down and night begun its show. Just as the lights inside the buildings of the village started to glitter the stars in the sky arrived, it was a curious compass, earth and sky shinning with a melodic rhythm.

He sat down on the soft and fresh grass, his back against the tree “It was the spot indeed” he whispered as he enjoyed the wonderful view that filled his eyes.

The golden shine of fireflies in the buildings of Ponyville, the valley ended by the mountains crowned with Canterlot on the far distance, the stars smiling down to the land and the silver glorious light of the moon reflected on the river showing her path to summit in a dance of light and reflection between the air.

As the wind gentle blow brought the smell of winter he felt that peace only the night sky could bring to his soul “She really is the only one to make them this wonderful” were his thoughts as he enjoyed the natural spectacle. For a warm touch he let ot a flame from his mouth catching it with his claws, and then releasing it at mid air, feed by magic the flame would last until morning.  

 “Finally a place to get a good sleep” he said finding this calm heartwarming after two weeks of nights spent on wild territory. With the moon still climbing up he succumbed to the realm of dreams with the picture of the friendly pegasus he met in the morning in mind and so many others he had to gave the cold back in the past. “It makes me wonder…”, he was falling asleep , “…really makes me wonder” his last thoughts of that first day in Ponyville.

[Curry Pinch 34]

''Did I say guacamole, did I really?' Muffin got really confused. ''I meant salsa, sure I meant salsa, it's all southern stuff I just got messed up, anyhow, it would be really kind if I got to taste what other ponies find good!, yes please, do bring some over if you don't mind! And if you ever are in need for some specific herb, let me know, I have got a large colection on my farm, it's halfway down to the Sweet Apple Acres on the right side!  And I'm here pretty much every day for a few hours to sell vegetables!''

[Pr3datorTaco 169]

Rainy smiled. "All right it shouldn't be to long before the salsa is done. How much longer will you be here cause it's starting to get dark. Don't most ponies head home before then?" He looked around them to see the market was still kind of busy. Ponies still were at their stalls and going to and from shops. "Oh I suppose not."

[The-Master 1,176]

Star didn't exactly know what to do in this situation, nor any social situation for that matter. He switched to default mode in response  "Um, is this a bad time? Because I can come back tomorrow if this is. It isn't urgent." Probably not necessary, but he hated to impose. It was getting a bit latter and he really needed to be getting off. "Still have those Romanesco?"

[Curry Pinch 34]

''Romanesco? sure, one or two heads?'' Muffin turned to the buff pegasus. He looked uncomfortable. ''Poor thing, I wonder what troubles him, I wish I could help!'' she thought, than asked ''Is this too expensive, I could drop one bit, as it's the end of the day, sure I will be here for an hour or so, but...'' she stuttered a bit than bent closer to the pony and said silently ''Or maybe I could help any other way?''She turned to the dark pegasus and said with a smile ''If you are done with the salsa in an hour, I will still be there!''

[The-Master 1,176]

What did she mean by-, never mind, just ignore it. "I should be fine paying full price. Here." From his saddle bag he pulled out a small wallet, withdrawing a number of bits and placing them on the counter. "Two heads should be fine." He took up the bag and trotted off down the street. "See you some other time."

 

'Darn, I think I may have made as slight math error.'

 

'How slight?'

 

'I think I may have paid three times the amount it was worth. 10 bits.'

 

'How did you do that?'

 

'I was distracted. Oh well, consider it a nice gesture.'

[Curry Pinch 34]

The handful of cash seemed a bit heavy. Muffin counted. whole 10 bits in one hoof and 4 on the counter! It was way too much 4 for cilantro made sense, but 10 for the romanesco was too much, an both of the pegasi were gone already. For a moment she considered shouting, but hesitated, she did not know the name of either one.

''Hmm, the darker one promissed to come here over with the salsa, he might know how the other one is called or where to find him...'' thought Muffin Spice. She took the four bits and put them in saddle bag's small pocket she used for cash, than counted her share from the 10 and put it in the same place, plucked a leave from the hedge she was standing next to and wrapped the spare change in it and placed it in a separate pocket.

 

She still had to be here for an hour if she wanted to meet the ''salsa pony'', but she was feeling a little bit tired, so she sat on the ground next to her cart and tucked her hooves underneath her. Her thoughts wandered to the buff pegasus. ''What if he misunderstood me? He ran off in such a hurry he did not even counted his bits right. What if what I said sounded...suggestive... oh no.'' Mufin Spice worried.

It was already getting late and most of the ponies prepared for bed. Iron Wing looked to the other two stallions. "Well, it is getting late. Perhaps we continue this on another day. Duran my pet lynx surely is very hungry and i have to get everything home that i bought today..." she said to Draco and Starstream. She lifted the bags and went home, waving with her hoove to Draco and Starstream for goodbye. "See ya tomorrow!" she said and left the place. She knew that she had to prepare her armor for the next day too because she had to go on a scouting mission. On her way home she passed a cart with exotic vegetables, a light pink pony sitting next to it. She looked a bit worried so Iron Wing stopped walking and looked to her. "Everything alright?" she asked the mare. Iron had seen this pony sometimes selling rare vegetables but she didn´t know her name since Iron Wing just moved in to Ponyville.

Rainy Trotted away briskly and took to the air once he was clear of other ponies. He arrived home a little bit later and went inside. He went to his refrigerator to collect the ingredients.(I'm not gonna post the proses of making the salsa as that would be long and boring and I doubt that anypony wants to read it) Rainy finished the salsa the kitchen a mess due to making a large batch of the stuff, he put some in a container and put the container in his saddle bag. He set off for the veggie cart once again but this time to deliver. Rainy arrived at the cart, to his relief she was still there. He trotted up and greeted her. "Hey I'm back and I brought SALSA!!"

[dragon4111 914]

Draco had walked outside and opened his wings. He took off to get home but he needed to think first. Usually he would have his friends with him but this time they moved back to their respective cities. This time he would have to go visit his families graves alone.

[Feather Gem 967]

Angel closed her notebook and felt her stomach rumble.  She placed her notebook in her pastel blue messenger bag along with her silver gel pen.  She stepped off the log bench and started to scan the area for a place to eat.

She spotted it.  She trotted over.

Star happily trotted along the streets, gazing across at the various shops and pass byers, In fact, he was so distracted he didn't notice the mare walking right in front of him. Star Keeper promptly bumped into her, sending the contence of his saddle bags spilling across the road. Buggery.

 

"S-sorry miss, I w-wasn't paying attention. Stupid m-me. Sorry." He wasn't the greatest speaker under pressure, but hey, what could you do?

[Feather Gem 967]

@The-Master

 

Angel Feather gazed at the shops and didn't notice that there was a stallion walking directly in front of her.  They bumped into each other.  Automatically, Angel grasped her messenger bag so that nothing would come spilling out.

Angel blushed and looked up in embarrassment, sure that this was her own fault.

"T-That's okay.  Its...its my fault.  Really," she said hurriedly. 

She noticed his belongings had came out of his saddle bag and had been strewn across the road.  She immediately dropped to her knees and began to pick up some of it.

"S-sorry!"

[The-Master 1,176]

'N-no no, really. M-my bad." Star got on the ground to start picking everything up. It was a bit of a mix up really. He wasn't sure he had everything accounted for. But he wasn't too worried about his stuff, more worried about looking like a complete ditz in front of a mare.

[Feather Gem 967]

Angel blushed and handed the yellow Pegasus the items she had picked up for him.

"I'm really, really sorry.  I...I wasn't looking where I was going," Angel whispered, self consciously tucking a strand of her mane behind her ear.  She adjusted her pastel blue messenger bag.

[Caitlin Spark 142]

Vinyl started to unpack the large amount of boxes that were strewn across her bedroom. "Next time i think I'll leave most of my stuff behind, I think i need a break from moving things." The bright white pegasus then proceeds to walk to her window. "I wonder if i can find a club around here." Of course being a DJ she was always looking for work "I'll have to make some posters to go around town" She promptly gets to work creating colourful and exciting looking pieces of paper "Right, time to get to work putting these up" She says before picking up some tape and the posters and walking out the door.
