**Welcome to Equestria!**

[The Jolly Victini]

Bonfire left Sugarcube Corner with Snowflake and traveled through Ponyille's marketplace. After a while, the fire station came into view. Bonfire's horn began to glow as he pulled his house key from his saddle bag. He unlocked his door and turned on the light. Scanning the room, he saw nothing that was out of place, or needed to be picked up before guests came in. After seeing nothing too offending, he stepped inside and let Snowflake in. He levitated his saddlebags over to a hook on the wall. The contents of which, were levitated onto the coffee table in front of the living room couch.

Snowflake came in and looked around. "Nice place..."  

[The Jolly Victini]

"Thanks. It's, uh... kind of big. I need to be able to move quickly when a fire happens so that I don't hurt something and aren't able to get there. I couldn't bear to think how I'd feel if somepony got hurt because of me..." Bonfire, looked to the ground sadly, his ears flattened against his head.

Snowflake smiled kindly. "You're very brave. I wish I was like you...I'm too shy..."  

[The Jolly Victini]

"It's not so much as being shy as it is wanting to help everypony." Bonfire walked into the kitchen and opened up the fridge. "Can I get you anything? I've got tea, Colt-a-cola, ParaSprite..." Bonfire called out, listing off the beverages he had in his fridge.

((Very punny =P))  

[X_HeartofRoses_X]

Snowflake smiled. "ParaSprite, please..." Deep down, she began to like having company.  

[The Jolly Victini]

Two cans of ParaSprite were suddenly wrapped in Bonfire's magic and brought out to the living room and opened up, the fizzing sound coming from them after the crack of the tab. Bonfire sat down on the couch and took a sip of his soda, setting it down afterwards. "So, you said you've always been here, why haven't I ever seen you? I mean, I know I've only been here for a few years, but there aren't many ponies I don't know." Bonfire explained.  

[X_HeartofRoses_X]

Snowflake turned her head away. "I usually avoid others..." She whispered, almost too soft to hear.  

[The Jolly Victini]

"Why's that? It's nice to talk to people!" Bonfire explained.  

[Fenrir Shade]

Tempest walked amoungst the foreign buildings searching for his old friend's house. But the houses, even though so different, all looked the same. As much as he hated to admit it, he was lost. He had almost given up hope until he found the firehouse. What better place to ask dirrections? He approached the door and knocked on it.

Bonfire looked to the door. "Oh, excuse me, Snowflake." Bonfire got up and walked to the door. The door handle was then wrapped in magic, twisted and then the door opened. Bonfire opened the door enough so his head could pop out. "Hey there! Can I help you?" he asked.  

[Fenrir Shade]

Tempest always had a hard time talking to people for the first time. So this was really far outside his comfort zone.

"Um... Hi there. I hope I'm not interrupting anything. I'm new here. I've never even been anywhere like this place. I was... Um... Wondering if you knew where this is." asks Tempest, handing Bonfire the sticky note with the Professors' illegible scrabbled address.  

[The Jolly Victini]

Bonfire carefully ready the sticky note and soon grimaced in a slight fear. "Oh, Pathfinder, eh? Yeah, I know him all too well." Bonfire sighed but smiled. "He's averaged about 3 fires a month. He's just down the street. The brown house with the weird statues in the window."  

[Fenrir Shade]

"Oh, thank you mister! By the way, my name's Tempest Cloud. Glad to meet you."
