gemini walked through the market place, looking for a certain stall. once he spots it, he walks up and buys some oranges from the stall. walking away, he smiles as he starts to put them in his bag, looking for where he would go to next.( it was a terrible opening, i know.)

Darkstorm was also walking through the market, trying to get himself familiar with his new home. All the shops and stores were confusing, and he had no idea where he was going. He looked around confused, and lost. He went into a few stores, but had no idea what to buy.

Ugh. Where am I anyway? He thought to himself, sighing.

gemini walks by the pegasus, yawning a bit to himself. turning around, he saw that the pony seemed lost or down, so he decided to see if he could help." hey. you lost or something?" gemini walks over to him, hoping to be able to assist him if he is actually lost.

"Yeah I actually am..." Darkstorm said, and sighed, "I'm new here. If you couldn't tell already." he said with a smile.

"I'm Darkstorm" he said, widening his smile just a bit.

(sorry for the short post... )

"i'm gemini." gemini bows politely to him, then holds out his hoof to shake." so, how long have you been here? and where are you looking to go? i can probably help you find your way there." gemini starts to look around, checking incase he decided he wants to buy anything else before he leaves.

Darkstorm accepted Gemini's hoof with his own. "This is my first week here. I just wanted to look around, but I have no idea where anything is at all."

He looked around, still dazed. He had lived in Cloudsdale his entire life, Ponyville seemed totally different...

gemini decides he doesn't need anything, then turns back to darkstorm. "well, this is the market place, obviously. there's a bowling alley and sugar cube corner. those seem like good places to hangout with friends. and then there's the town square and this market place, which i tend to find are the best places to make friends."

"Ok... sounds good." Darkstorm tried to absorb all of the information. He looked around where they were now. He wanted to learn more about this pony though, "Were you born in Ponyville?" Darkstorm asked Gemini.

"n-no...i moved here a small while ago." gemini replies, not really wanting to go into his past." so, anything else you want to know? there's also a few other places, by the way. like the everfree forest, but i highly suggest not going there. there's wild creatures and stuff that can seriously hurt you....or worse." he warned." it's not a place you want to go to, trust me."

"Alright good to know." He said. He noticed Gemini change the subject and decided to stay out of his business. "Umm, I think that kinda covers it." he smiled. "Sorry about interrupting your shopping" he said, trying to not get into Gemini's way.

He didn't want to be an inconvience to anyone.

"it's okay. i was bored anyway. just buying some oranges." gemini said, laughing a bit at the fact darkstorm was apologizing." so, you only lived here for a week? make any new friends since you were here?" he asked curiously, wondering what his other friends were up to.

"Well. I didn't have any friends here to start, but I talked to some of my neighbors yesterday. All my other friends still live in Cloudsdale." Darkstorm said.

Then he remembered all his friends back in Cloudsdale, and he missed them a lot, but he knew that moving the Ponyville, would work for the better in the long run.

"well, i'm sure you'll make plenty of friends here. i did." gemini thinks back to all the ponies he met since he moved to ponyville." there are definitely some......interesting ponies here, and most are friendly. just remember to be polite and kind and so on. i'm not one for speeches, i guess. so, you're from cloudsdale then?"

"Yes, born and raised there." He said smiling. Since moving to Ponyville he had not regretted leaving Cloudsdale just yet, but he missed it there. He knew everyone, everyone knew him, and everyone was friendly. And sure, everyone in Ponyville had been friendly so far, he didn't know anyone in Ponyville, and he hoped that that would change soon.

"well, like i said, i'm sure you'll make plenty of friends here. so, what's it like in cloudsdale? i must admit, i kinda want to go there, just to see how they built an entire city out of clouds." gemini said, thinking of how much work would have to go into building a city normally, little lone the amount must have been put into cloudsdale.

"Well I love it there! It was home for me. It's run pretty well, a lot of pegasi there though are really competitive. In just about everything, it was hard to find something to do there." Darkstorm said, glad he could explain Cloudsdale to another fellow pegasi.

"ah. well, i'll definitely have to visit there sometime. so, why'd you move away?" gemini pulls one of the oranges he bought out of his bag, pulling it." want a piece?" he offers the other pegasus, starting to look a bit bored standing around.

"Nah, I'm fine." Darkstorm said, refusing the orange. He wasn't very hungry. "I moved away to find a new future. There was nothing for me in Cloudsdale." he said, with some regret, but it was true. He noticed Gemini getting a little bored, "I hope I'm not stopping you from going where you need to go?"

"no, like i said earlier, i had nothing to do today." gemini takes a piece of orange, savouring the taste of it." so, you had nothing for you in cloudsdale?" he immediately thinks back to his family, then quickly forces the thought out of his head." what about family? wouldn't they miss you?"

"I'm not very close to my family." Darkstorm said simply. He didn't really want to go into his family. The fact was that they didn't miss him, he normally liked to keep that quiet however, so he didn't talk about it much.

gemini nods in understanding, knowing how he felt." yeah, so why ponyville? why not move to canterlot or somewhere else? i'm sure there might have been a different place you wanted to go to, right?" he asked curiously, finishing the orange he was eating.

"Seemed like the best option. Canterlot is too big, Ponyville seemed like the right size to me." He said, sighing. Then he thought of why not other places. Ponyville just seemed like the best option. All the other places didn't seem like much of an option for some reason.

"i understand, it's why i moved here too. so, how are you liking ponyville so far?" gemini asked, hoping that darkstorm was at least adjusting well to the change of scenery from cloudsdale." it's got good weather here, considering the size of it."
