	Ponyville is a nice place to live isn't it? Especialy during the summer. The warm days, the cool nights, and everyone is friendly. Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Fluttershy, and Pinkie Pie are the only friends I've had since I moved to Ponyville last week. 
I had been waiting for this day for days and now its finally here! The Summer Sun Celebration! Twilight is hosting a special dinner then we're going to watch Princess Celestia raise the sun. I've never seen the princess in real life before. I've only seen pictures. Want to know something weird? The princess and I almost have the exact same cutie mark. No two ponies had the same cutie marks unless their related. I don't know why our cutie marks are similar, they just are.
On my way to the library, I looked up at the sky."Mom would have loved this." I thought. My mom died when I was a little filly. She had found me on her doorstep when I was a baby. I never knew my real mom. Twilight and Pinkie greeted me at the door when I raeched the library." Hi Sunny! I'm glad you're here!" yelled out Pinkie."It wouldn't be any fun without you!" Soon, the others arrived and dinner was served. 
"I hope ya'll like the apple dumplings. It's Granny Smith's secret recipe." said Applejack."They're delicious!" replied Twilight." How are you liking Ponyville so far, Sunny?" "It's great!" I said."Everyone is so nice! I've been having the greatest time!""You haven't seen anything yet! The Summer Sun Celebration is the most awesome event of the year!" said Rainbow Dash as she zipped around the room with the speed of a lightning bolt. Suddenly, a loud horn sounded. A startled Fluttershy yelped and hid under the table."Ooh! It's time to watch the sun rise!" said Pinkie. I helped Fluttershy out from under the table and we headed for the door.
