Who's Afraid of a Rainbow?

by Root Strider
I thought moving to Ponyville would be easy. I'd camp in the Everfree and work up to moving in.to the town. That all changed when I met six mares, one of which had a rainbow-colored mane. It's not her fault I'm afraid of rainbows, is i

The inspiration for this came when re-watching S1 E23 "The Cutie Mark Chronicles" and thinking, "What if it affected other ponies too, but not in a good way."

What started off as a passing thought turned into an OC which eventually turned into this ongoing story.

This is the story of a young stallion trying to ease his way back into living in a town, but when his plan is burst wide open, and his secrets dragged out by an inquisitive Twilight Sparkle and her friends, he's got to learn to forgive and forget if he wants to move on and make some lasting friendships. This doesn't help when he is terrified of one of the ponies trying to help him. Yeah, he's afraid of rainbows, and its all her fault.

Constructive criticism appreciated.
