Yep, I think I'm officially a brony. This story started interestingly; I heard "Art of the Dress", and the first thing that I imagined after hearing it was a character, which evolved into a personality, which I eventually started thinking of a story for. In other words, I thought of several different things and pieced them together.

Disclaimer: I own nothing, aside from the story and the character I'll introduce next chapter.

...

It was a day like any other when Twilight heard the music. One could say that she only heard it because she lost the bet Pinkie Pie dragged her into, because she was towing a particularly heavy wagon, loaded with various fruits, past the house when she heard it. It was a quiet, somewhat sad song, played on the piano, but a beautiful piece all the same. Most ponies would probably just walk by, but when Twilight heard it, she stopped pulling the cart and saw the house, for one reason.

"Spike, isn't that house supposed to be abandoned?" She asked the baby dragon that was laying on the pile of fruit. He sat up and looked at it.

"I'm pretty sure it was... But now there's someone in there?" He replied, scratching his head. "If there is, why haven't we seen them? Or heard of them? All ponies that move into Ponyville try to make friends with others. Or maybe it's... It's... Haunted!"

"Oh, don't be so dramatic, Spike." Twilight scoffed. "Ghosts are just myths."

Spike glanced at her, than at himself, and shrugged.

It was about then that Pinkie Pie bounced in, being her usual bubbly self.

"Hey, Twilight! What's goin' on?"

"Well, I was dragging this big heavy fruit cart along," Twilight said, glaring at Pinkie for making her be a part of the bet in the first place, "When I heard somepony playing the piano in the house up there."

"Isn't that house supposed to be abandoned?"

"That's what I thought, too."

"Ooh! That means that there's a new person in town! I'll go get everyone else!" Pinkie said before zooming off to bring the rest of the group.

"Pinkie, wait! I think..." Twilight started, but stopped when she knew that Pinkie wasn't going to come back and listen. She sighed.

...

About the time Twilight was walking back from the fruit delivery, Pinkie Pie had assembled the rest of the group.

"Why did you bring us here, again?" Rainbow Dash asked, obviously wanting something more fun to do.

"'Cause there's a new person! And meeting new people is always fun!" Pinkie responded.

"Pinkie, are we really going to walk up and knock on the door?" Twilight asked disbelievingly.

"Sure! I brought all the welcoming party stuff!" The pink pony responded, pulling out a party favor and blowing it.

"Um, truth be told," Fluttershy said quietly, "I don't get a good feeling from this place. I mean, as far as we know, it was abandoned yesterday, and today it isn't, and we never saw anything about someone moving in..."

"Oh, don't be silly!" Pinkie encouraged, "I'm sure the new pony would like our company!"

And with that, she ran into the house before anypony could stop her.

"... Let me guess, now we have to go in and get her out?" Rainbow Dash groaned. Twilight nodded, and the pegasus sighed. "Well, let's get this over with."
