| Having just arrived in Ponyville, Dylgo found herself wandering around town. she hadn't realized how little she had thought this through until now. she didn't even have a place to stay for the night. it was still early in the day, however, so she wasn't worried about that yet.
As she wandered, she took in the sights. this was such a different place from Manehattan. There are a lot more trees and it's so much more open. She also noticed that the other ponies seemed a little nicer as well. She should fit in well here.
Now at the park, Dylgo decides to put her bags down if only for a second. she felt the need to stretch her wings. Her wings extended, she sits on a nearby bench next to her bags to take in the scenery.
[a quick intro if anything.] | |

| It was such a beautiful day, the sun was shining and there were only a few clouds floating by. Steam was making her last round of deliveries when she saw a new face in the park. With her bag full of trinkets the unicorn made her way over to the brown pegasus. "Hi there! You must be new here. I'm Steam Heart, nice to meet you." Steam knew it was hard to get started as the new pony in town since you hardly knew anypony. She was also eager to make new friends so it would be a win win for the two of them. | |

| as Dylgo sat, her mind had wandered into how her parents were doing now that she has left. The unicorn snapped her out of it.
"Hi, I'm Dylgo. Nice to meet you too." She said, smiling at Steam Heart.
"oh, do you know if there's an inn or somewhere I could stay the night? I'm afraid I didn't think this trip over."
She felt a little embarrassed admitting her mistake, but she smiled none the less. | |

| "Well there is a tavern somewhere here. But I don't think staying there is a good idea. I mean, don't get me wrong, everypony I've met here are nice and all, but ponies get drunk there and you never know what to expect." Steam tried to think of another place where a traveler could stay. Being relatively knew herself, she didn't know where the new pony could stay. Then she got an idea. "Oh hey, I know! You could stay at my place for the time being." She said with a grin. | |

| "yeah, the Tavern doesn't seem like a safe place at night."
As she thought, she put her hoof up to her chin and folded her wings in.
"That would be great! If you wouldn't mind that is. It will probably only be a couple days until I find a more permanent place."
She loved it here already. In Manehattan they would point you towards a tavern and be on their way. But here, the ponies are so much nicer. | |

| "You can stay for as long as you want to." She said with a smile. Steam looked at the pony. She felt something familiar about her, the way she carries herself. "If you're set, my place is this way." She walked a few paces away to show the general direction. As they walked down the streets, Steam asked, "Where are you from, Dylgo? You look to me like you're somepony from a city." | |

| "Thank you so much." She said as she smiled back. Dylgo got back up and put her saddle bag back on and followed the nice unicorn.
"I'm from Manehattan. My parents are still there actually. what about you? are you from around here?"
This time she made sure she could extend her wings with her bags on. having her wings extended while walking just feels right. | |

| Steam was bit surprised to hear that Dylgo was from Manehattan. "What?! No way! I'm from Manehattan too! My parents and I moved to the country since the pollution in the city was bad for us." Steam was really happy. Not only did she make a new friend, but she was from the same city as she was. "So tell me, why'd you decide to move?" | |

| "Wow! how's that for luck?" she said smiling. It was amazing! What are the chances that she would meet somepony from Manehattan out here?
"I'm a bit of a speed freak. I need more space to practice. Where else than Ponyville?" | |

| "Ahh. Typical of a pegasi to be a speedster. How much wingpower can you muster?" Steam stopped in front of her shop. "Here it is. Home sweet home. I make things for a living you see, and this doubles as my house." Steam opened her door and let Dylgo inside. Her walls were full of cogs, gears, and other things one might find inside a machine, carefully placed to be out of the way and appealing to look at. All the items she was selling were on shelves and inside glass boxes. "This room is where I put my things on display. Ponies can buy and order from me anything from decorations to necklaces. If you see something you like, let me know, okay?"
Steam gestured for Dylgo to follow her upstairs. "And this is my room." She said as she opened a door to the side. Her room was littered with material left overs from last night. "Sorry its a bit of a mess." Steam used her magic to pick up the metal and wooden pieces lying on the floor and put them in the boxes in the corner. She then walked across to the end of the room and pulled on a metal bar sticking out of the wall. With a little force she managed to pull down a bed for Dylgo. "So, what do you think so far?" The retractable bed was one of her designs, and she was quite proud of it. | |

| "about 10, I think. it has been awhile though." entering Steam's shop, Dylgo admired the various trinkets along the walls.
"Very nice. It can't be easy to make all this." following Steam, she was still admiring the handywork downstairs. "it's no problem at all. I'm not very neat myself." seeing a Unicorn use her magic was always slightly interesting to Dylgo.
"It's really nice. I really appreciate this." She said as she smiled at the unicorn. wasting no time, she puts her bags down on the bed. | |

| "What do you want to do now, Dylgo?" Steam asked excitedly. "Oh, I'm sorry, you must be tired from your travels. I'll get some blankets so you can rest for a while." She opened her closet and pulled out a white, cottony blanket, knocking off a wooden box in the process. "Oh dear." She put the blanket down on Dylgo's bed and proceeded to pick up the box. "This was actually the first music box I've made." She turned the key and it opened. She wound the same key in the other direction and then placed the box on top of the sheets. It was nothing fancy, the box didn't have any interior design, it just showed the mechanisms which made it tick. The box made the melody of an old Manehattan lullaby. "In case you have difficulty going to sleep." | |

| As Steam got a blanket, Dylgo decided to speak up. "It's still a little early in the day." She was going to say more, but she was interrupted by the sound of the box.
"Thank you. It's been a long time since I've heard one of those. But there's still plenty of time in the day. I was actually wondering where the library was. Most of my favorite books belonged to my parents. I wouldn't mind getting something to eat either."
Dylgo smiled and stretched her wings a little. it's been a little while since she's flown. a little practice might be in order. | |

| "If I remember correctly, the library is somewhere in the middle of town, and there are two places we could go to to eat. There's Sugarcube Corner and a small outdoor cafe nearby. We could go to any of those places. I have to take care of a few things downstairs first, so come on down if you're ready to go." Steam trotted downstairs and placed her bag on the counter. She then took out a sign out from a drawer and hooked it over the hook on the door. The sign said, "Closed." Steam waited for Dylgo to come down. | |

| Dylgo stayed behind and got out a picture that was taken a long time of her entire family. she remembered that day fondly. she was just a little filly. she hadn't even earned her cutie mark yet. after checking on a few of her other possessions she brought, she heads downstairs.
"Sugarcube Corner sounds nice. Why don't we eat there?" | |

| After Dylgo decided to go to Sugarcube Corner, Steam went out and lead the way. "Good choice, I just love their pastries there." When they reached the pastry house, Steam's mouth started to water. The smell of freshly baked cookies and cupcakes was so overwhelming. She couldn't wait eating here again. "Go on, take your pick." | |

| "I think I'll have a couple chocolate cupcakes." Dylgo hadn't realized how good that sounded until she said it. it had been awhile since she's had any. She instinctively licks her lips in anticipation.
"I heard rumors about this place back in Manehattan, but I never thought I'd be standing here. In fact I would tell my sister that I would bring her here someday. Too bad she's in Trottingham." | |

| "You've got good taste. Alright, chocolate cupcakes it is!" Steam ordered a dozen chocolate cupcakes from the counter. After a small wait, the employee in charge gave her a tray of the cupcakes. Steam paid for the order and placed the tray on their table. "I really love it here, the cupcakes are just the right blend of flavor and design." She said as she nomed on one. | |

| The cupcakes looked amazing. eating one, her tongue confirmed what she was expecting.
"mmm! It appears the rumors are true!" she said smiling. "I have some money to pay you back for this if you want."
It's always been in her nature to be as polite as she could. If there was anything that would ruin her day, it was someone who was being impolite or a bully. | |

| Steam couldn't get over how good the cupcakes tasted. She fell in love with them the first time she got a taste. "Don't be silly, dear. It's my treat. Eat to your heart's content" Steam took another one and contemplated on the flavor. It was indeed heavenly. It was no wonder Celestia went here for a visit. | |

| The second cupcake was just as good. after finishing her cupcake, she flapped her wings twice in enjoyment.
"mmm, I'm coming back here later. These cupcakes are amazing!" she said smiling some more. when she realized her wings were still fully extended, she folded them in, blushing a little from embarrassment. | |

| "You said you'd like to go to the library, right? After we're done here we could head on over there." Steam had already finished her share of the cupcakes. She smiled as Dylgo commented on how she would be sure to come back here for more. "You look so cute when you blush." | |

| Dylgo giggled a little at the compliment. "thanks." she said smiling.
"yeah, the Library sounds good. I'm ready when you are." She stood up after saying this. noticing that her wing felt a little uncomfortable folded, she extends the one wing to examine it. just a ruffled feather or two. it can wait. | |

| "To the Library it is."Steam hopped off the stool and waved goodbye to the people inside, and to the pony in charge that day for his services. She walked down some more dirt roads till they reached a large tree in the middle of a clearing. "Here's the library. Well? Come on, don't be shy." | |

| Dylgo followed Steam. after awhile they came up to a large tree.
"it's certainly a unique building." she said as she made her way inside. "it shouldn't be long, I only need two books." trying to remember the exact names of the books, she walks inside.
