The sun was high in the sky as the nocturnal pony Starblitz slept the days way, exhausted from her nights work. She was dreaming happily of constellations when her alarm clock went off loudly disturbing the peace in the lonely cottage. Starblitz jumped out of her sleep with a yelp and fell out of bed landing on her back. She blue mare groaned softly rolling onto her belly. Her horn glowing faintly as she shut off the alarm clock too lazy to get up just yet. "Ugh i knew i should have gone to bed sooner..." She sighed heavily before pushing her self up to her hooves stretching lazily as she attempted to get her blood flowing and wake up some. Star wasn't usually awake at this time. she normally didn't wake until the sun was low and nearly past the horizon. However not many shops were open at night which meant every other week she had to get up early and go shopping for supplies and food.
~Hm maybe I can treat my self at the cafe...~ she thought to her self gathering up her bits and notes into her saddle bag a little happier about going out while the sun was still bright. She y awned softly before stepping out of her home and starting her trek into town.

Heart String was currently residing at the hotel located in Ponyville. He had decided to settle down in Ponyville for the time being. It was a nice place and he figured he'd be able to at least spend a couple days in Ponyville before he would start to venture around Equestria again. A place filled with kindness and joy in all directions. Since he was staying at a hotel now he was able to have a bath now so his coat was now cleaner and his mane shimmered brighter than it did before when he first made his way into Ponyville. He felt a little bit antsy honestly just being in the hotel room. He wasn't all too fond about being in one spot. Guess he had gotten so use to constantly moving around all the time so staying in a single spot just made him antsy.
This colt left his hotel room and began to wander out into the streets of Ponyville. He strode with confidence and held his head up high. A smile smacked upon his muzzle as he watched ponies walk around the town at this time of day. It was later in the day so some shops were still open, but there weren't as many ponies as there was earlier in the day.

Starblitz wandered around the town visiting the post office to mail in her maps and notes to the astronomy branch back in Manehattan before picking up more quills and paper for more notes. She sighed softly looking around the produce stalls to see what was left over from the morning rush buying up what she could.

For the tie being Heart String was pleasantly happy just trotting around town. Visiting the different places in town, like the Sugarcube corner store that has been in the Cakes family line for generations, current run by Sweet and Sour. Sister earth ponies who are the current owners of the sugarcube corner. The Carousel boutique owned by a unicorn, who is a descendant of Rarity, by the name of sunlit gilmmer. There was many other stores around ponyville, all which were family owned over a long line of generations, very few had actually moved away from what was originally in their family line.
This place was nice, Heart String admitted. Soon it would be time for the sun to finish falling and the moon to rise. He heard that someplace in Ponyville was actually a good view to be able to see the moon rise. Maybe this place would allow a good view of Canterlot and permit for them to even see Princess Luna flying in the sky and bringing up the moon herself. Though before that happened, he needed to get something to eat. he was getting hungry.

Star trotted through the two picking up the last things she needed stopping at Sugarcube corner for some sweets to snack on when she go her late night cravings. she double checked her list to make sure she got everything not wanting to wake up too early any time soon. Star admitted it was nice being away when every other pony was out an bout as opposed to tucked away in their homes but she loved her night time studies. She hummed softly as she approached the Town Square Cafe hoping to get a small bite to eat. She settled her bags at one of the tables tucking her bags beneath the table and picked up a menu her stomach complaining in hunger

Eventually Heart String had arrived at the town square cafe as well. He had chosen a table that was across from the mare of blue coloring. There wasn't any reason in particular that he had picked this table except for the fact that it was empty. He still held this air of elegance about himself even though he still had scratch mark spacing amongst his coat, scars he had received in his travels, his mane kept well tamed. He grasped his menu with his hooves and brought it up. His horn, given it's length, still protruded out above the menu. The ponies here are nice and he liked that about this village. He didn't want to have to deal with brutes and rude ponies wherever he went, even though, that happened a few times on his travels.
It would be a few minutes before a waiter came out. A colt with a grey coat, a slick back short silver mane and wearing a waiters apron and white shirt his cutie mark show a martini glass. His tail also silver like his mane was short and neatly cut. To the residents of ponyville they would know him as Martini. Martini walks up to Starblitz. He spoke with a calm and soothing voice. "Are you ready to order? Or should I give you a few minutes more, madam?"

Starblitz looked up and smiled slightly "Oh yes, Ill have a lilac and daisy sandwiches and hay fries, please" she spoke softly while folding close her menu thanking him when he took her menu and went on to the next customer. She followed the colt for a second as he left noticing another pony at the next table over noticing another pony. Normally she would of thought nothing of it but she didn't recognize the Colt which peeked her interest a bit. She had been living in the town for a few month so she had slowly gotten to meet most of the ponies. She blinked a few times tilting her head noting his bright red coat and contrasting but pretty blue mane. ~hmm? Interesting.~

Martini took down Starblitz's order and nodded his head. "very well, it'll be ready in a few minutes." After taking her order Martini went over to Heart String and spoke to him. "Are you ready to order, sir?" He spoke just as he did to starblitz. Heart String scanned over the menu and he gave a 'hmm' noise before he closed the menu and handed it to Martini. "I'll have a lily sandwich with crushed grained and water please." Martini took the menu and nodded. "Coming right up." he stated and like that Martini went back into the cafe in order to get the orders ready for the customers. Heart String smiled as he waited quite happily. He was currently unaware of the pony that was staring at him. Another big notice is that he lacks a cutie mark even though he's a grown colt.

Star blitz tilted her head further when she saw that he had no cutie mark ~oh my another one... How odd~ she thought to herself remembering another unicorn who had recently moved to ponyvill who also had no mark. Star realized she was swearing and looked down at the checklist on the table. If her mother had caught her gawking at some stranger she would of gotten an earful of how rude she was being. But still she couldn't help sneak a few glances at the mysterious colt. Her curious nature getting the better of her.

It would be several minutes before the food was prepared so that was left now was to just sit and wait...errr to pony standards stand and wait. It wasn't a problem though it's the way of the equine species. Heart String did eventually come to gaze upon the blue colored pony. It wouldn't have bothered him as much to notice a pony across his way at another table, except for the fact that this pony in particular kept gazing from a paper on her table to him over and over again. He would blink a few times just to make sure he wasn't just seeing thing's or assuming things. Just to be positive he looked behind himself to see if there was anything behind himself that was of any interest and he didn't notice anything that would seem to be out of the ordinary..well maybe except his own flank.
Glancing back over to the blue pony before him he stared. Not speaking a single word he motioned his head to grab her attention and just kept a stoic face as if asking 'what are you looking at?" Adjusting himself slightly so that his flank would be seen better he lifted a hoof and pointed at it and arched a brow as if stating 'is this what caught your attention?'

Starblits blinked realizing he hat noticed her and flushed slightly feeling like she was being rude again. She saw him motion towards his blank flank and realized she might had offended him in some way. She shook her head quickly wondering if she should speak up or continue with the game of charades. She ended up tracing the same markings on his face and then motioning to her mane with a small smile. in truth it was what caught her attention, his bright coloring made him stand out from the usual pastel colors of the other ponys in ponyvill

Merely responding with a blink as he watched her motion to her face. He tilted his head a moment as he was trying to figure out what it was she was getting out. He didn't get it until she touched her mane, in his own stupor he found himself touching his own mane before he began to laugh. Bringing his hoof back down as he would be the first to break this game of charade. "Well this is a first, somepony noticed my markings before my lack of a cutie mark." he spoke in a cheerful yet gentle tone of voice. His chest seemed to rise up as he seemed to beam with pride. "Do you want to know about them?"

Starblitz smile brightened when he spoke, relived that she hadn't offended him. "That would be wonderful! Sorry for staring at you, I've just never seen you around ponyvill"

He gave a chuckle to her smile as he waved her over. Well I shall come over and join you. I'd rather not have to yell it across two tables." He lightly trotted over to her table and settled himself across from this blue pony. "Seems like everypony here knows every other pony. I've been getting that a lot since I've arrived here about two days ago. Does everypony know everypony here?" he asked a bit curious really, honestly if everypony did know everypony it'd make sense. It's not like Ponyville was a humongous place after all. "Before I forget, I should introduce myself, my mother taught me better after all." he gave a chuckle. He definitely had an air of sophistication that you'd normally wouldn't find in ponyville. Maybe from someplace like Manehatten, or Las Pegasus. "My name is Heart String, it's quite the pleasure meeting you."

Starblitz smiled sightly. "It is very nice to meet you Heart String. I am Starblitz, it is very nice to meet you as well" She introduced. "Almost every pony here knows every other pony... It's mostly because of the large town wide events that are hosted around here. It's a very small social town." She explained. "I've only lived here for a couple of months but I know most of the pony's around here"

Taking in what the pony, named Starblitz, said everything made sense as to why he stuck out like a sore thumb. Well this is aside from the fact that he seemed a bit brightly colored compared to most pony he saw in this place. "Well that explains a lot then." A lot of village wide events did make it easier for people to get to know everyone else in the village. It was nice to know that also, to know that there are villages that do such events and know each other so well. "It's quite fantastic to know that there are villages that do such things. It must be nice." he paused a moment and noticed himself getting sidetracked in the conversation. "Well you wanted to know about these markings on my face? I take it that there are no other ponies around that have such markings?" He brought a hoof up and 'scratches' at his cheek. "I had these markings since birth. It's a birthmark."

Starblitz stared at the colt a moment "Ah, well they are very nice and unique. I've never seen any pony with such pretty birthmarks... even in Manehattan" She thought a loud with a slight tilt of her head to the left. "Either way they look very nice." she smiled

He blinked at the mention of Manehattan. "You've been to Manehattan?" he asked. Originally Heart String was from Manehattan, it was his birthplace. "Thank you though, for the compliment, I never really received such remarks about them. I was born in Manehattan, though I didn't really stay there for too long before I left." Soon the waiter had returned carrying their meal, from where he exited from the cafe he had noticed that Heart String had joined Starblitz and they were speaking, so he brought over not only Starblitz's food, but Heart Strings as well. The colt placed their meal upon the table. "Enjoy your meal." he stated before he left.
Heart String looked towards his food before him and he smiled at Starblitz. "So where are you from?"

Starblitz listened intently to heart string before the waiter came over. She thanked him as he left before checking her meal to make sure it was the right one nodding in approval. "I'm from Manhattan as well. Born and raised" she replied proudly. "Though I like it much better here. you can see the stars much better here. I've only been to those two places though... I did visit Canterlot once for a lunar festival last year."

Oh so some other pony else was from Manehattan as well. He never did see her, but then again he was only there for a single year before he left and that was two years ago. Seems that she enjoyed the night sky a lot. "the Lunar festival huh? Last time I went there was with my family about three years ago. It was fun." He stated with a kind tone as he took a bite out of his sandwich and chewed with his muzzle closed. Chewing what was in his mouth and swallowing before he would speak again. "I take it that your purpose for living here then is for the view of the night sky? Is it that incredible here?" He asked with a curious tone. He'd been all around equestria and seen all sorts of nights skies ranging from Light polluted skies to clear country night skies. He remembered his short time that he was living out in the countryside where there was very little light pollution. It was nice, very nice, much nicer than in manehattan. He wondered if this place held a different view since this was much closer to the countryside than anything else. That aside it was the closest pony society to canterlot where Princess Luna resided. It must be a beautiful sight.
