It was another wonderful day for Starry. The sun was shinning, the birds were chirping, and she had just walked into the town of Ponyville. It had taken her very long time to get there from Appleoosa, especially on hoof. Starry didn't have enough bits to board a train nor did she want to. Walking was just fine for her.

Fenfen was, as usual, soaring above her, looking for anything of interest. However, he found none. Everything was just... Nothing. After a half an hour of flying around Ponyville he made his way back to Starry, who was in the town Square.

Starry was sitting down on a bench reading the book in the middle of the town Square. It was just another book on forests and what animals were in them. She had already read it several times on her journey to Ponyville, but it was a nice day to read and Starry wasn't about to let her opportunity slip away.

However... Fenny had other ideas about what they would do today. He landed behind Starry and moved his head so it was right next to hers.
"Hey Fenny, I'm reading that book again. I hope you're behaving well. " she spoke to the phoenix. Fenny simply nodded in reply.

"Good! So I'm just gonna go back to re-" starry began, but was interrupted by Fenny's next action. He took his leg and poked her in the back of the head... ONCE. Starry immediately closed her book, this was an outright challenge to the sacred game of tag. She put the book down and into her saddlebags before turning to Fenny. However, the phoenix was already gone.

It took her an hour and a half to find him, and when she did... It only made things worse. Fenny had simply flew to the park and found a tree who's lowest branch was just outside her jumping height. Starry would try and try and try but could not reach it.

"No fair! " she shouted as she jumped up again in vain.

Not far from the park, a large brown pegasus glanced up from his staff paper (as he'd been idly composing in his spare time) at the scene. A phoenix? Curious...

"Seems this town gets more and more interesting every day..." He blinked a few times, looking at the filly as she was jumping. "...Heheh..." He put away his paper and walked over... Before catching the filly on his strong neck and lifting her up to touch the phoenix's talon suddenly as she jumped. "Hahah!" He let Starry slide down onto his back. "I saw you having some trouble there, little filly; couldn't help but want to lend you a hoof."

Starry suddenly felt something else under her hooves, definitely not the ground. She was lifted just enough to barely touch Fenny's talons where he stood on the branch. Fenny, as usual, had tried to escape but didn’t take of in time to avoid being tagged. "HA!!!! HAHA!!! HHAAAAAA!!! I GOT YOU!!!" she yelled in excitement. However, just as she started celebrating her victory, she suddenly started falling.

Starry panicked at first, screaming, but then realizing that she was on the back of another pony and calmed down. She slid down his back and onto the ground, where she turned around to get a good look at what had helped her. It was a pegasus.

"Oh... um... thank you sir." she replied apologetically. She wasnt too comfortable being around other Pegasi, especially since she couldn't really fly. Fenny soon reappeared and landed on her back, signaling the end of the game.

"You're very welcome." He smiled a bit. "My name's Arpeggio; it's a pleasure to meet you..." He began to notice her discomfort. "Are you alright?"

He honestly wasn't sure why she was seeming that way... He occasionally glanced at the phoenix on her back.

Fenny hadn't look away from arpy the second he had landed, probably creating some unease in the air. However, he wasn't planning anything stupid, just curious as to his unique manestyle. Starry, one the other goof hadn't looked at him yet, too preoccupied with starring at the ground. It was just by chance that she caught his name.

"Oh... Uh... Pleased to meet you sir, I'm Starry Fire. " she replied in a tone that almost made her seem like she was scared of him.

"Oh n... Nothing really like. It's just, i was so high up when you boosted me... I've never been that far off the ground... Ever. " she barely spoke. Starry was sensitive when it came to her complete lack of the ability to fly. Whenever somepony brought it up, she would either shy away or just ignore the comment. However, this arpeggio pony had just helped her win a game and she owed him something, if anything, in return. A straight answer, she felt, would do well enough.

Arpi's mane blew a little bit in the light breeze as he tilted his head. "Never?" He looked at the filly's wings. "...You... can't fly? That's no good..."

He thought for a bit. "...Have you never had a teacher?"

Fenny was now getting interested in how his mane was styled like that and even ventured to stretch a wing out and try to touch it. However, he was stopped once Starry spoke again. The filly had lowered her head, ashamed of herself.

"No... Never. It's kinda embarrassing. " she replied.

"Ah..." He put a hoof to his chin... then smiled a bit. "Well... if you've never had a teacher, you can start; I'm no expert but I'd not mind teaching you the basics. How does that sound?" He took a few steps towards the filly.

Fenny once again tried to reach for arpeggios mane, but was stopped by Starry's suddenly change in demeanor. Her ears perked up at the mention of 'teaching' and 'start'. She lifted her head up and stared at him, almost shockingly. She had never had a teacher before, the closest thing being her friends Starborne that she had met years ago.

"R.... Really? " she asked. "You'd do that... For me? "

Arpi smiled and leaned down, giving the filly a friendly nuzzle. "I would. I enjoy teaching, even if this isn't the typical thing I teach. When would you be free?"

He still hadn't noticed Fenny's attempts to touch his mane.

"Now... And forever!" she exclaimed. "cuz.... Well... I don't have a home, purposefully. " she explained.

Fenny was getting impatient. Arpeggios mane had eluded him for far too long now. Two tries failed was two too many for him, and once he saw Arpeggio lean in for a friendly nuzzled, he couldn't help but lung and glomp his mane.

"Ack!! Fenfen!!! No! "she yelled.

"...Oh? A wanderer...? Hmm..." He seemed to 'deflate' a little at that. "Well, if nothing else that makes things easier. If you want, you can have lunch at my home and I can start teaching you this afternoon." He smiled a bit again... before he suddenly had a maneful of phoenix. He yelped; the big pegasus stumbled a bit, catching his balance. "W-Whoa!" His mane was quite soft and silky; it was lightly gelled to be in the style he had it in, with a light scent of chocolate.

"Sorry! Fenfen off now! " she shouted to the phoenix. However at this point, Fenny could no longer hear her. He was snuggling into a silky mane that smelled Like chocolate, his favorite food. Fenny just stop there, ignoring Starry for the time.

"Eek! Sorry! I guess he just likes your mane. " she apologized.

Arpi chuckled softly, petting the bird's head with the tip of one of his large wings. "It's alright... he wouldn't be the first. I take good care of it."

He then smiled at Starry. "So, lunch? What do you like?"

Fenny purred as arpy pet his head with his sift wing. The phoenix didn't mind, he actually enjoyed the soft feathers. He was starting to get used to this new pony.

Starry let out a small giggle. "I think he likes you! " she announced. While she wasn't entirely sure about how arpy felt about being hugged by a legendary bird, Fenny seemed to enjoy it, so Starry just let the phoenix stay there, almost as best was saying 'mine :3' to anypony near.

"Lunch? Uh.... How about food? What kind of berries so they have around here? I can't eat without knowing what I may be eating. " she asked calmly.
