Return home

The day was just beginning with the sun freshly rose in the morning at this time. Birds going around chirping like it was an holiday which was not the case. The Town Square was quite busy with ponies seems to be running around and some talking.

Dark Spark was sitting next to the statue and starts tuning up his guitar. Looking around made him have a smile on his face with all the good memories. His friends might of all moved away all around trying to succeed at there calling. Dark Spark was not much better then his friends on that reason he went off two three different locations withing equestrian on his own trying to be successful on his career as a musician which was average at best.

Staying quiet having memories flying through his mind. Wondering how many new ponies he will meet during his time of rest maybe even making new friends would be fun. The guitar was tuned up and placed back in its case.

Metal stepped out of his workshop and walked down the street as he spotted a new face
He smiled and walked towards the unfamiliar pony "Hello?"

Dark Spark is just relaxing placing sunglasses over his eyes to block the sun from the eyes and then hears someone speaking to him. He lowers the glasses and looked at the pony for a moment seeing that he did not recognize him. He placed back his glasses and continue smiling. "Greetings, may I help you? Or do you believe I am lost?" He laughs since he knew most people that have not met him most likely would not know this was the location he spent his youth.

"Haha, you cant get lost in Ponyville" he said "Im just wondering.. are you new?

Dark Spark looks at the other pony and shakes his head for a moment. He remembered when he was younger getting lost was easy but at the same time he was just a small foal that might be the reason. Looking back upwards sunglasses on his face still and a smile on his face not certain why everypony believes they knew each other. "I lived here for the most of my life honestly. I had things to do a few concerts to play and now I came back to relax while I prepare for the next performances" He smiled while still looking at the sky wishing that he was better at the music part of his act.

He then looks at the other Pony next to him and removes his glasses. "I am Dark Spark by the way. I am a traveling performer in Equestria might I ask your name?" He was trying to be friendly and gave him a smile. He was just a bit nervous since he found his performance awful and scared what other ponies thought of it meanwhile they were better then average.

"Im Metal Spark, Im an engineer here in Ponyville.. There is my Workshop. I moved here after an accident in Manehattan. Now I live here with my wife and my daughter"
He said thinking about the similar names

Dark Spark smiles at hearing that he was an engineer since it makes him think of the fantasy world a bit. He just nods while the other spoke. "So you went from the big city of Manehattan to good old little Ponyville? That must of been a big accident or did you just believe that you are better to raise a family here?" Dark Spark was not trying to be offending he just knows that many of his old friends moved there to become successful some of them succeeded others did not.

Dark Spark was almost oblivious not realizing the similarities of the names. "So what does an Engineer do? My apologies I normally focus on my performance since I always feel like something is missing that I tend not to realize there is more style of employment around me. Dark Spark was not the smartest tool in the shed but most of the reason is how much work he places on his own performance and writing music.

"Me and my sister left Manehattan... because we lost our parents in a factory explosion" he said sadly
"Well I repair and build things like swords, armor or wagons"

Dark Spark was shocked at the accident and felt horrible for the pony. He then looks at the pony saying what he does for a living. "My apologies about the event back in Manehattan. But from what you are saying you are a craftsman of sorts?" He listens to the pony trying to not feel awful for the tragedy that did hit them in the past.

"Dont worry, I got over it" he said
"Yeah Im sort of a craftsman, My father taught me everything he knew.. if my friends got something they want repaired.. they come to me" he said, looking at his guitar
"So.. you are a musician?

Dark Spark looks at the pony and realized the pony looking at the guitar and then looks at him once more. "Sort of, I do play music in my performance and write my own music and being a serious thing. My performance also involves Illusions so I consider my self more as an entertainer" He looks at the pony a bit surprise that he seemed so comfortable with the one he does not know.

"Awesome!.. I know someone who played in a band.. but he stopped playing music a while ago.. Bucky is his name, he is at the tavern the most time" Metal said
