>it's almost been 10 months since you arrived in Ponyville
>when you first got here, the librarian and resident genius, Twilight Sparkle, took you in
>you lived at the library for a couple weeks while she studied you inside and out
>the experiments weren’t a very pleasant experience, but Twilight got you up to speed on where you were and how to act around ponies
>she taught you about how the seasons needed shifting and how the Pegisai control the weather
>she explained to you that everyp0ny was a vegetarian and all other manner of local customs
>the basic stuff
>she also told you that you'd never see Earth again
>when she had dropped this bomb on you, you were surprised at your natural response
>you felt... hope?
>when she deemed you safe for social interaction, she introduced you to all of her pony friends
>Rainbow Dash was really cool to you and offered to show you some awesome stunts
>Applejack offered to give you a job as an apple picker
>AJ:"Since yer such a tall glass a' water an' all, heh!"
>Rarity almost screamed with excitement when she first saw you
>RY:"Oh darling! You'll be SUCH a challenge to make outfits for! And dearie... I'm UP for the challenge!~"
>in order to help Rarity with her new human designs, she offered to let you move in with her
>she's so generous!
>her place was much better than the science basement Twilight had been keeping you in
>Fluttershy was a little shy at first, but she warmed up more and more whenever she would come over to Rarity's for afternoon tea
>her favorite tea is Earl Gray, hot. Who knew?
 
>the pony that inspired you the most was Pinkie Pie
>the day you met, she set up a surprise welcome party!
>there were sugarcubes, sugarcanes, sundaes, sunbeets and sarsaparilla
>Pinkie was dead-set on forcing you out of your shell and she introduced you to almost everyp0ny in Ponyville
>after that day, you became determined to become friends with as many ponies as humanly possible
>it turns out, what's humanly possible is quite a bit!
>you've made friends with ponies of all ages, social class, color, shape and size!
>nowadays, you live your life as a sort of socialite who goes to as many parties as possible
>Rarity is your date most of the time, since she likes to show off her tailoring skills
 
>Hearth's Warming Eve has just passed and the New Year is about to begin
>there's snow blanketing every inch of Ponyville, but rather than being depressing, everything is always cheerful
>you gotta love the optimism of Equestrians!
>when Rarity gets home, you're snuggled on her "Chaise Longue" with your old plaid blanket
>Rarity shakes off her little designer hoof-boots
>RY:"Ugg!"
>you don't even dignify it with a response
>RY:"UUuhhgg!"
What is it, dearest Rarity?
>RY:"You're using that PLAID blanket again. Didn't I tell you that it was... gross?"
I will admit, it does smell a little funky. It's comfortable though. Fluttershy gave it to me.
>RY:"Eshh... she probably had some sort of animal using it before you."
I doubt it, since it was brand new when she gave it to me. The funky smell is mine, see?
>you whip the blanket toward her and it touches her nose
>RY:"GYAA!"
Hahaha!
>she's blushing
>RY:"You're SO mean to me. You know that!?"
>she takes off her scarf and whaps you over the head with it
Ah! Domestic abuse!
>RY:"We're NOT... AGHH!"
>blushing even harder, she trots off to make some coffee
 
Isn't it a bit late to be making coffee?
>RY:"For a lady, yes you'd be right. But I am not only a lady, I am a fashionista!"
Late on a deadline huh?
>RY:"Fashionably... but yes..."
I've actually got nothing set up for the next few months. No parties no nothin'. It's weird.
>RY:"Yes... after New Years, things get a little slow. It picks back up again after Hearts and Hooves day though."
I'm actually due for a break. I need to catch up with a few local ponies in town.
>RY:"Oh, who?"
Well, me and Lyra haven't hung out in a million years. She was waiting for me at the train station today. The Cutie Mark Crusaders were there too. They said they ABSOLUTELY POSITIVLY know what my special talent is and that I should meet them at the New Years celebration.
>RY:"I don't like that Lyra mare... I think she's trying to get in your pants."
With pants as tight as the ones you make me, I don't think she's going to get anywhere close to getting inside.
>RY:"FOR THE LAST TIME. It shows off your figure better!"
Ehh...

>Mayor Mare is starting off the New Year's celebration right... with a long speech
>MM:"...And therefore, with my sound fiscal policies, business connections and brilliant knowhow... I have made this year's celebration... under budget!"
>crickets
>MM:"Heh... and without further ado! The Falling Apple, presented by "Rich's Barnyard Bargains", "S.S Power and Associates", "Underhoof Samsony & Company", and "Pepsi™!"
>the Apple family gets on stage
>Applejack unveils a large wooden apple, bedazzled by gems and flickering lights
>it's set to fall down a long pole when the New Year is about to hit
>Applejack is looking through the crowd
>she spots you
>she waves you over
>you inch closer to the stage
>Applejack yells something out, but you can't hear her over the music
>she yells something again
>you think you make out:
>AJ:"YER AS GOOD AS FAMILY, SUGERCUBE! GIT UP HERE."
>you notice all of Applejack's other friends are there too
>she lends you a hoof
>you take hold of it and she pulls you up
>you get a good view of all your Ponyville friends
>even though it's almost midnight, the lights on the stage make it so you can see everp0ny
>5
>4
>3
>2
>1
>HAPPY NEW YEAR!
 
>everyp0ny is "clapping" by trotting on the ground
>you look out at all the ponies
>you see Pinkie Pie in the crowd
What?
>you look behind you on stage
>Pinkie Pie isn't there
>you look back out at the crowd
>Pinkie Pie notices you're staring at her
>her eyes widen
>you turn to Applejack
WHAT'S PINKIE DOING?
>AJ:"WHAT?!
WHAT'S. PINKIE. DOING?
>Applejack looks around
>AJ:"I THOUGHT SHE WAS ON STAGE!"
WEIRD.
>you look back out at the crowd
>you can't spot Pinkie Pie anymore

>PP:"What the heck was that, Betty?"
---What?---
>PP:"I didn't even get to talk in this chapter! It might as well be: "Anon and Rarity romance time" ... *sniff*"
---Don't cry Pinkamena. It'll be alright. I'm weaving a tale here.---
>PP:"It better be alright. Or I'll release your credit card info AND show you the G3 face. AT THE SAME TIME."
---Hopefully it won't come to that. Also, didn't you promise no blackmailing?---
>PP:"It wasn't a Pinkie Promise... heh heh heh..."
---...---
>PP:"Okay. *sigh* I'll make it a Pinkie Promise! Just keep going! You need to make up for what you did to me in Spaghetti Sparkle. I'm NOT a slut!"
