Re: The Equestrian Express Train Station
Winter took a few deep breaths as the train pulled into the station. It had taken a couple long train rides and quite a few bits but here she was, Ponyville. She shifted in her seat, butterflies filling her stomach. She stared out the window, this town was to be her new home. She was all on her own now, no big brother or parents to fall back on. A sense of panic gripped her heart, maybe this was a bad idea. Maybe she could buy a ticket back home? No, if she went back now with her tail between her legs her family would never let her hear the end of it! She gathered up her courage, she was here now and she was going to stand on her own hooves. The train lurched as it pulled to a stop, Winter nearly fell from her seat. Her wings shot out to catch her balance. It was a very good thing no pony was sitting next to her, otherwise they would have gotten a face full of wing. It would have been a very awkward start to her new life.
A pony entered the car and said something, she was too far away to read his lips. She looked around at the other ponies in the car, they were all gathering their luggage and preparing to disembark. It must be the conductor announcing that they've arrived. She folded her wings against her body and climbed off her seat. This was her stop. After retrieving her saddlebags and suitcase, it was time for one last check before she got off the train. Saddlebags? Check! Suitcase? Check! Tool bracelet and tools? Double check! Everything was accounted for. She flung the suitcase onto her back, using her wings and saddlebags to help keep it balanced. Winter quietly waited her turn to disembark, doing her best not to be in anypony's way.
Finally, Winter stepped off the train. Her ears were flat against her head as she felt the warm sunlight on her face. It was certainly much warmer than Stalliongrad, she could get used to that. She took a deep breath then released it. She really did it, part of her couldn't believe it. Then she came to a horrible realization... now what? She had arrived at her destination, she had spent nearly the whole trip worrying about it, but she hadn't quite figured out what she was going to do once she got here. A sigh left her lips, she berated herself in her own head, how could she have been so thoughtless? No place to stay, no job... she felt her stomach growl, well that was a place to start. Maybe if she was lucky she could find a good cup of tea as well. She started off to find a cafe, but the thought of being homeless sapped her appetite. Maybe she could get an idea of how expensive it was to live in Ponyville by visiting the Town Hall?
