The young stallion just couldn't believe his ears the moment he heard the words Daycare and Nursery. So he wasn't knocking on that door randomly. It had called for him ever since he had arrived to Ponyville. His ears perked up and his head raised, his black, white and blue mane flowing back to his neck. His smile grew even wider and he took a step forward.

"Oh, hello there!", he cleared his throat almost as surprised as she was, "My name is Stork, and I'm an owner of a daycare back at Manehattan. I was just passing by to buy some new supplies for the center. You know, new toys, some brand new foal food..."

And it was right in that moment that Stork caught one of his saddlebags moving around as if something was inside. When it finally stopped, a tiny head with a dark pink and yellow mane popped out, a pair of wide and curious blue eyes looking around. Stork was even more surprised now.

"And this is... my younger brother, Lemon Mix. He seems to have found my saddlebags again and hid inside to come and have a walk with his big bro again.", he said, chuckling a bit, still surprised. Lemon Mix was a bundle of surprises indeed. He hadn't even felt him moving inside his saddlebag, and now there he was, staring at the owner of the daycare.

But Hoity-Toity was determined to have an avant-garde design dress on his own boutique back in Canterlot. He chuckled and then spoke again. "Dahhling, dahhling, dahhling! Being such an amazing designer you should already know that that's the key to bring a new permanent trend! If your avant-garde design is shown up in my boutique and even in yours, it will be a shock to the fashion community, and an alert to all of those who wanna be trendy!", he explained, gesturing with his hooves several times, making large and wide movements. He knew that she was capable of doing such a thing, since he didn't doubt about her capacities ever since the day he saw a fashion show made by her.

No way he would give up on that design. He wanted a pony model to wear that. He wanted the most famous ponies to wear that design.

The fashion designer looked down at the mule almost with even more disdain than he did when he looked at Granny Smith. For him, donkeys were simply beings that wanted to be like ponies, but just...uglier? And he never hid what he thought, even if it was just through his actions. "No thank you, Madam. I feel more inspired for anything when my stimach is empty... and ready to be filled with fashion.", he said, raising and lifting one hoof, and then laughing at his own joke as if it was very funny indeed. Without any further addiction, he turned to Granny Smith again and cleared his throat. "So... You know the apple family, perhaps? I've seen an orange mare with an apple on her flank, in a fashion show for my beloved Rarity. Do you know her?", he explained, not really knowing if she actually knew what he was talking about.

The elegant stallion thanked in a low tone for the Latte, and took a sip right away. Almost at the same time, he made a sitting motion back, and right away somepony came out of nowhere with a pillow to support his rear. He then caught sight of the elder mare, looking at her with a disdainful expression behind his fashionable pink glasses. It wasn't his intention, all because that was his nature. "Well I do know them indeed. In fact, I am the one who provides them most of their outfits for their grand events. They have a picky style, I have to admit...", Hoity-Toity said, and then took another sip and looked back at Granny Smith.

"And who would--" but his speech got cut short when he heard a loud scream with a westen accent. He spit his Latte in a sudden and put it down right away, heading to the door. He lowered his glasses to reveal his dark blue eyes, while he looked up at the passing by chariot. "Holy Celestia of Canterlot! What in the world is that thing?", the truth was that the fashion designer loved chariots, and ride on them, but he had never seen such an... odd one?

Hoity-Toity was now getting why they called it a desert. Sure, he had to travel all over and be ready to face every single obstacle in order to know all kinds of fashion worn in Equestria. But what he was going through was just too much. He had sand scratching his hooves, and a burning sun hitting his fashionista head. But he had now arrived at Appleloosa, and he wanted to be staying in some place fancy. Something that could show how much he could afford, and where he could work on his recent designs.

He walked almost as if he was prancing, with his nose touching the skies and his hooves barely touching the sand. Even if he was sweating beneath his clothes. Everypony around stared at him, as if he was a total idiot among them. But of course that Hoity-Toity thought otherwise.

He finally found a bigger house that was signed as being "Madam Bistro's Place". He stopped complaining to himself, and opened the door all of a sudden. And of course, he waited for somepony to salute him.

Well, unfortunately I am not lucky enough to have a chance to watch this, but has anypony been there? Just found this on Youtube, and I still can't believe they use the same method for puppets as they used back for "My Little Pony Tales LIVE"

I just gave up watching after a little while... No Fluttershy or Pinkie Pie. And besides, they stole Pinkie's song!

Wait. 2:26 in that video.

Horseshoe prints?

I don't know a lot about horses, but....their feet don't make the same impression without shoes?

I don't think so. I mean, those are very much horseshoe shaped tracks. And Wikipedia gives me this as a reference for bare hooves.

Now I'm wondering... do all ponies wear horseshoes, and we just never see them? I've heard theories that maybe they wear shoes that are coloured to match their pelt colour. Hmmm.

Well, if you listen closely, you can notice that everytime ponies walk or tap something, you can hear a clingy sound. Like this:

My dear Hoity-Toity has a wonderful daughter! x)

I think I will have no chance against you xD

Lol I also have a character that lives in Hoofington AND is an Antique Hunter.

IMPORTANT NOTE: So that everything gets clear before anypony says anything, I DO know that Dubstep has a foal character named Lemon Sunrise. However, nothing in my character was inspired on his character, because I am very individualist. Just don't come here and say that this character is very similar to that one, because it won't be. Enjoy my app

Name: Lemon Mix

Sex: Male

Age: Foal. A little bit younger than the CMC

Species: Pegasus

Pelt Color: White

Mane/Tail/Markings Color & Style: A glossy mane with no spikey ends, and a beautiful short curly mane. Both his mane and his tail have two tones: pink and yellow. His mane and tail always look very well groomed, because his brother Stork spends lots of time taking care of them

Eye Color: Baby blue

Cutie Mark: None yet. He still doesn't know what he will truly do, but his passion for strange things can surprise everypony...

Physique: Petite and looks a little fragile, however he is not that weak

Origin: Manehattan

Roleplay Type: Mane

Occupation: None yet, since he spends most of his time inside his room or playing with his brother. However he daydreams pretty often, so nopony knows what he will truly be

Motivation: Lemon's motivation is to create new and amazing things, even if those are just created only in his mind

Likes: The colors of his hair, chocolate, swirls, talking to himself, painting, lemons, his brother Stork

Dislikes: Thunders, the absence of his brother, the color black, extremely social foals

Character Summary: Lemon Mix is one of Stork's many brothers. He is, however, the youngest of them all. He wasn't supposed to be born, since his mother got pregnant shortly after falling ill. Lemon is not like the other foals, and because of that he prefers to spend time alone with his thoughts or else with his older brother. And since his parents found out about this condition, they asked Stork to look after him. And so, once he moved to his own house, Stork took Lemon Mix with him. Since then, he raised Lemon like a son and gave him some extra cares, cares that the other foals of his daycare weren't so needy of. He likes to play around and be active like all the other foals, but not in extreme ways. He was the only one to be born with wings in his family, but he seems not to even notice he has them on his back. When he paints, he often draws things that nopony has ever seen, and explains them as clearly as if they really existed. In a shy way, Lemon Mix likes to play with the other foals, but he gets easily tired. He has a somewhat special talent with drinks, since he can make interesting fruit juice combos only by spilling accidentally the fruit juices. He loves his brother Stork to death, and can rarely go anywhere without him.

He seems to be saying "please kill me"

Added three more These are only sketches in one of my two styles. I do the perfect-ish kind, with clear lines and also colours, and then I do these, if I need to get rid of an art block or something. Hope you like them!

BTW, to see them fully drag the picture itself to your address bar.

If he has a thing for hippocamps, he should definitely know Pearl Wishes x3

Thank you both I don't have that much practice with my tablet, even by being in a 2D/3D animation course. I will later show you my hand drawn sketches so that you can see the difference xD

Alrighty! So I got a new tablet because my old one got its wirres chewed by my cavies... So I started sketching what? Ponies! I don't have that many scanned to work with, so I will only show you ponies two of my works till now.

First one is of my OC, Carousel. She has no cutie mark, because I just felt too lazy after taking care of finishing that lollipop Very basic though...

Second one is Princess Luna, crying about her fate. I did this one while listening to "Requiem for a Dream OST", so yeah it looks quite sad. Seriously, where is the friendship in sending our sister to the moon just because we can? Geez!

Just for you to know, my pony anatomy is MUCH better than this. I jsut choose the probably worst examples of my art

For a normal pony, one would have looked around in search for the pony that had opened the door. However, that was certainly not Stork's case. He was quite used to that kind of tender voice, like the one that had answered the door. It couldn't avoid but to let out a soft chuckle, and then he lowered his head to the young sea-blue filly that awaited the answer. "Hello there young lady. My name is Stork, and I don't know quite well what is my purpose in this cozy little house. Is there anyway I can come in and talk to the house owner?", he said.

He knew that that young filly had something different from the average foals. She seemed to be a little bit more active, and her style made her sound like somepony who didn't leave around that beautiful ville. That house had just attracted him, that was the truth. But now that the door had been answered by a baby, he couldn't leave it. He could swear he had heard some other younger voices coming from the inside, but he wasn't quite sure.

Lolz, I have a hippocamp with a similar name x3

Oops, my bad x) Misread it.

Wind Mist blushed heavily when the repair pony gave her the forms and asked some extra info. The mare was naive, and unaware that there could be such a joke. She had grown used to a serious life, with rules and restrictions, and only now she was being able to live her life freely. Just like the pegasus mare she was. Gulping and styill blushing, the mare filled the form she was given. Her name? Wind Mist, like the mystic wind she had met. Residence? Well, the calm Hoofington of course! The item she had brought in... well, it wasn't that easy to classify, since she was used to ancient terms and nothing related to modern days. So she just wrote down 'tureen', like both her and Klondike had referred. And then, she chuckled to herself in a low tone. Right beneath those, she drew a rough sketch of a flower with large petals, a curled stalk and tiny leaves. Underneath that, she wrote in her classy letter:

Good luck on your trip to the Roughrider's Ridge to bring me those!

And underneath it, she added a heart, as if to say she liked romance. The mare wanted to play along. After all, she had to adjust to different cultures, even if that one was probably the biggest of Equestria.

Then she heard a loud noise, that made the smile disappear from her face to give place to an expression of fear. Her ears perked up, and she backed off a little, with one of her front legs in the air. As soon as the sound faded. She took another step forward until reaching the balcony.

"Mr. Klondike? Are you okay?"

The gentle hippocamp tried to pull herself together once again, now listening to another voice. Now it seemed to be a deeper voice, that didn't belong to a filly. That was for sure. She turned around and in her distraction caught sight of the same red stallion she had only directed a few words earlier in that meeting. She smiled at him and blinked for a few instants, clearing up her throat and getting ready to present herself. "Oh, my name is Pearl Wishes, sir. A pearl seller from the seas of Equestria and, unfortunately...", she paused for a moment and her ears perked down, "Tainter of males.".

She wasn't proud of this last part, but her half that still had the remains of a long lost past made her suffer the consequences. She glanced back at her old friend Sealight. "Yes, it's true. I'm still unable to control that urge to sing for males.", she said, trying to go under cover for her 'curse'. She looked back at the red stallion she had just met. "That's why I must ask you to forgive me once again.", she said, taking a step forward, the scent of the sea being noticed right away. "And you are...?", she asked, now with a smile.

Humm, this is a WIP right? Because I think there are a few things missing, such as the origin of her cutie mark, some more stuff about her parents, why she moved to Fillydelphia...

Well, I guess I will ask you to adopt the yellow pelted foal then Only one question... would you mind me changing his cutie mark? Because I already have way too many characters related to sweets and food

[ Hope you don't mind that I bring my foal caretaker Stork in everypony ]

The young stallion was sure that Ponyville was nothing like his old tow, Manehattan. It was way quieter, with no rush hour of ponies passing by, and evrypony seemed to be kind to everypony. Even visitors! He had been galloping all morning, in order to arrive in the ville in time to get the supplies he needed. The foals back in Manehattan were under the care of his part-time assistant, so he knew he didn't have to worry about that little detail. They preferred to be under his own care, of course, but he was hoping not to take long on his trip. The years he had taken trying to show his dad he wouldn't be like his brothers, a stud full of muscles, had left a few marks. Good ones, however. He could run longer than an average stallion, and he had the strength to kick a Gryffin's beak if needed. He'd do everything to protect his young foals, that even that they didn't belong to him, he felt like he had that responsibility.

He already had some items on his saddlebag, such as new blankets, new toys and even some snacks. The little ones loved the ones with animal shapes, and so he always brought those everytime he saw them in stock. Now he was taking a short rest, sightseeing a place he had never visited before. But a little house caught his attention. It seemed to be cozy, just like the one he had and where he hosted the little foals he had under his care.

Stork headed to the door, where she could read "Tea Cozy's House". Maybe she could provide him some rest, since he didn't know anypony from that place. He would expect it would be a nursery, just like his own...

And with reluctance, he knocked on the door.

This is great!

Little late but, Happy Birthday Kalpira!

Thanks AppleNitrox
