The Lost One

As three months went by I grew close to Celestia.I even loved her as if she is my real mother.I know she loves me as if I am her real son.It was time to put my plan into motion while I had taken the time to take off my own bandages, Celestia went to go get me a cloak so I wouldn't be embarrassed from my tattered attire while I go out to Ponyville.

I waited long for this day.To see just what the world looks like outside this bedroom.I stretched and headed for the bathroom since I was in dire and utmost need of a shower.I grabbed the towel Celestia put out for me and walked into the bathroom.I undressed, turning the water on before I did so, and stepped into the warm shower.At that moment Celestia had walked back into the bedroom.

"Amos, I laid the cloak over on your bed so you can be on your way when you get done in the bathroom."Celestia said as she knocked to get my attention.

"Alright, thanks, Mom."I responded scrubbing hard to get the dirt out from basically everywhere.

After a while I hopped out dried off and redressed in the same clothes that had been treated a day ago so they didn't smell like blood and death.I walked out of the bathroom in my tattered old clothes picked up the simple tan cloak slipped it over keeping the hood down as I grabbed the ticket off my bed.I turned to Celestia and smiled.

"Well...I guess I will see you in a week."I said lovingly to her as i picked up a bag that shook with heavy bits.

"Be safe, Amos."Celestia responded hugging me.

I left walking out of the tower a little fast as a guard was waiting for me at the entrance of the castle.He handed me a small black suitcase that had a long sword that if needed could be used with one hand or two hands.

When I left the vicinity of the castle the people of Canterlot looked at me funny but, as I remembered that Celestia told me to stay positive and happy I started to wave at a few some just walked by me faster while others waved back and some ignored me completely.I soon reached the train station and gave my ticket in and boarded the first class car.I looked around finding a perfect seat away from anypony on I sat and soon heard the train start to move towards Ponyville.

I gazed out the window, marveling at all the great plant life and didn't even notice someone had approached me curious.

The mare started."Hi, I noticed you were looking a little bored over here."she said trying to remain calm.

I jumped at the sudden sound and turned to her."Um...Hi.I'm just noticing how different Equestria is than my home."

"Well, I hope I'm not bothering you." she sat down and I noticed she was in some sort of elegant high class dress.I then noticed somepony else was sitting across with a monocle and a gentlemanly suit on.

The gentleman pony spoke up,"Well, I see that you have found someone interesting,"he directed to me,"What's your name, sir?"

"I am not even grown.I am only ten years old.But, my name is Amos.Yours?"I responded.

"Fancy Pants.You do look rather quite young.I haven't seen you in any upper class.So, where could you have been?"he said.

"I have been in Canterlot Castle.With my mother."I answered.at this point the mare was gone and it was just me and Fancy Pants.

"Canterlot Castle.And who is your mother?"

"Celestia..."I said trailing off lowering my tone and i put my hand over his mouth before he said a thing and continued speaking,"I don't want anyone to know but I will make an exception for you.You do seem okay to me."

"That is preposterous.Princess Celestia has never married."

"I am not related to her according to blood.She did bring me into this world and helped me heal and treated me as if I were her son.I consider her my mother.I was close to coming to a h-horrid death...when she saved me."

I lifted my cloak up and he gasped at the sight of the cut and blood stained clothes.

"It must be a miracle you survived!"he exclaimed someponies looking at us weird.

"Keep it down.Anyways, I do believe this conversation draws to an end."

The train stopped at Ponyville while I with a few others hopped off the train.Fancy Pants stay on waving out the window to me and I waved back smiling.

I walked away from the station and looked at the photo Rarity had given me of her shop.After a twenty minute walk I spotted it and ran up to the door knocking on it.

Rarity called from inside,"Come iiinnnnnn!"

I opened the door and Rarity looked over and gasped running over to me and hugging me for a moment.She began to speak.

"Darling, I'm so glad you could make it!Now take off that cloak so we can get your measurements.Quickly now."she called as she pointed to a stand.

I took off my cloak revealing the badly beaten clothes underneath that were blood stained all over.

Rarity gasped at seeing them,"I knew you were badly injured but, that!Oh your parents must have been so cruel!"she said sympathetically.

She continued,"Anyways, Dear, those will have to go if I plan to get accurate measurements."she said

"Um...But, humans have some...unmentionable places that don't...cover themselves up."I said as my cheeks got dyed a deep red.

"Oh....well then in that case keep your undergarments on."She said a hint of red visible through her perfect white coat.

I sighed knowing that I would have to strip down to get new proper clothing that I needed.I decided to skip the argument and pulled my shoes and sock off before taking my cut up barely intact shirt off.I by then had a crimson shade over my face that grew as I slipped my ripped and shredded pants off keep some boxers on as I stepped on the stand.Rarity's own face had a deep crimson looking at my slim body from malnourishment over the course of many years.

Tape measures flew over around my arms and legs while a paper was floated and a quill writing down measurements while Rarity took a look at the tapes.All of the floating items had a blue glow on them as well did Rarity's horn.

"Done!"Rarity shouted as I stepped off the stand before I donned my clothes then slipped my cloak back on the blush slowly coming off my face.

"Well I'm glad that's over.So, how much do I owe you?"

She shook her head,"Think of this as a welcoming gift."

"Are you sure?"I said hesitant to not pay her,"It wouldn't sit right with me."

"I'm positive.Now you better go find a place to stay while you are in Ponyville, Darling."

"Well...bye then,"I walked out the door as I heard her say her own goodbye.

I walked down the street clutching the black suitcase with the bag of bits in my left hand.I thought about asking the others if I could stay with them.I spoke to myself.

"This will be one FUUUUUN day!"
