Waking up or how to get a cutie mark like a BAUWS. (Fixed, I hope)
Hi my name is Fireshock. I'm an elemental unicorn. My coat is light blue, my mane is white and my eyes are green. And this is the story of my life.
The first thing I can remember was that I woke up in the Everfree forest. I had this feeling that I had to go somewhere but I didn't know where. As a matter of fact I didn't know anything. I sat down for a moment ignoring the feeling and tried to figure out stuff.
After thinking a while I found out that what I wanted to go to was called a "school" (don't ask me why, it was just a random feeling) I don't how I knew those words, or why they were jumbled, or how I managed to get it all together but somehow I did. I also thought of names, I knew that I should have one but I didn't know why, or what. After a while I deemed it important enough and had chosen the name Fireshock. I liked fire and lightning and therefore chose Fireshock. I got up and went to a town called Ponyville. The school wasn't hard to find. However it was closed. I later found out it was Saturday.
So I walked around in the town without a goal, just aimless wandering. No one noticed a blue unicorn colt appearing from nowhere, and I didn't care. When I went back to my hollowed out tree (where I woke up) a thunderstorm had come to Ponyville and the Everfree.
Lightning struck towards me and adrenaline slowed time.
A warm feeling in my horn comes, as if there's electricity in it.
I think to myself.
"Sh*t, I got hit by lightning, am I gonna die now?"
Somehow, I see the lightning turn midair and hit the ground a few metres away.
I didn't know what to say or do. What just happened. How... what...why. I looked over myself too see if anything weird happened.
It had.
A mark of some sort had appeared on my flank. Two lightnings.
I didn't know what that was and just assumed that it symbolized that I had feelings (Mind you I was like an empty shell before, I didn't care at all about anything).
Now I know that it symbolises special talents, mine is lightning, fire, water, air and earth. Only lightning showed up as that was what I was best at.
The next day passed by just like the other one (except for the storm part) and I just walked around town nothing happened, a white unicorn was being dragged somewhere by her horn, you know, normal stuff.
The day after that something actually happened though.
I went to the school and it was open,[insert gasp here] so I went inside and then out on the backyard.
I saw a white filly with a light pink mane. She looked sad. But she didn't have a cutie-mark and I thought they marked that you had emotions so I went up to her and asked her.
"Hi do you not have any emotions?" I asked nicely.
"Go away" She replied sounding annoyed.
"Why?" I asked obliviosly.
"I don't want you to be tease to me." She replied still annoyed.
"But, I'm not." I replied not knowing why she reacted like this.
"Uh-hu and what do you call "Do you not have any emotions?" She asked matter-of-factly.
"A question." I answered still not knowing sh*t.
"*sigh + facehoof* For your information I have emotions." She answered like I was stupid. In her defence I kinda was.
"But you don't have the mark that symbolizes that." I said.
"What mark?" She wondered. Now who's the one not knowing, huh, HUH.
"The mark on your flank." I replied.
"That's called a cutie-mark silly," she chuckled. Mood switches, I don't know why she just had one. "It symbolizes your special talent."
"So you're talentless?" I asked.
"No, I just haven't discovered my special talent yet." She answered.
"Okay." I said, nodding my head in understanding.
"But anyway, what are you doing here? You look like you're three." She wondered.
"Maybe I am three. I don't really know." I said now looking a bit sad. "But what does that have to do with me not being supposed to be here?"
"Because three-year-olds don't go to school." She answered me.
"Why not?" I asked.
"They're too young." She replied.
"Uh-hu"
"Just out of curiosity, where do you live?" She wondered.
"In a hollowed out tree in the middle of that forest over there." I answered pointing towards the Everfree forest.
"*gasp* The Everfree forest?" She asked. Now looking a bit pale.
"Is that what it is called?" I wondered.
"Yes it is a really dangerous forest filled to the brim with dangerous animals." She said sounding scared.
"Whoa, but I haven't met any scary animals though." I answered.
"You must be lucky then. But you can't continue to live there though." She said and started to think for a while. "I know, let's ask my parents if you can live with us." She said.
"Okay." I answered.
*The bell rings*
"After school." She said. " Can you wait outside?"
"Sure." I said.
After school we went towards her house.
"Oh I don't think you've said your name." She asked me.
"Fireshock." I replied.
"Okay then." She said.
"What's your name?" I wondered realizing she hadn't told me mine.
"Snowcone." She answered.
"Okay." I said.
We arrived at a unusally normal house.
"Hi mum, hi dad." Snowcone yelled.
"Hello Snowy." Her mom replied.
There's this young colt that I met in school who doesn't have anywhere to live and I wondered if he could live with us?" Icecone asked her mum and dad.
"Sweet Celestia NOWHERE TO LIVE?" Her mom yelled out. "We must alert the police in case anyone is looking for him. In the meantime, yes he can stay with us." Her mother replied.
But no one was looking for me. So this became my family for the rest of my life.
The next day Icecone came home super happy. She had got her cutie-mark! The class had gone around town seeing different ponies with different jobs so that the foals may get their cutie-mark. This included a pony selling ice-cream.
They got to try to sell some and Snowy did the best.
It was her special talent after all.
That meant free ice cream. YEAH!
The first three years of school I got bullied quite a lot. I have incredibly easy to get angry but I've learned to swallow my anger, just don't piss me off. Seriously, don't.
Anyways I always wore a cap if it was warm enough to wear a cap when I was young. It didn't matter if it was raining if it was sunny or if it was cloudy, if I could have a cap without my ears turning into ice I wore cap.
The bullies found out that if they took the cap and refused to give it back I entered rage mode. Yeah, just by that. Technically I still do get that angry about minor stuff like that but I swallow my anger before it get's hold of me. Most of the time. Don't get me angry. Don't.
Luckily for me, I managed to somewhat control my anger after a while. So they stopped bullying me.
However, that happened right before a field trip to a boat. I managed to stad infront of the horn that has a very loud sound at the wrong time. That meant that the other foals learned that I react in a hilarious way when loud sounds blast into my face.
You wanna know what I do? Well, when the sound is going I look like nothing's happening except I'm leaning backwards, then when the sound stops I still look like nothing's happened, then I blink three times, then I start to shiver uncontrollably.
I'm terrible at explaining stuff.
In school I learned a few things but since I was a fast learner I needed to hear things once or twice and then I knew them. So we learnt the same thing over and over and over and over and over and you get the point. I learnt pretty quickly that I didn't have to do my homework or listen at school except for when we learned new things to get good grades.This became my doom later on.
Anyways, Wooden hammer built a clubhouse and got his cutie-mark. The clubhouse was the tree I mentioned in the beginning. The one I lived in before I was adopted. Yeah I remember wich tree it was exactly.
I'll show you. Now. Oh right you're on the other side of the monitor. Uuuhh. Forget I said anything.
Anyways, Secret hid from his family (he was supposed to clean his room) there one day and got his cutie-mark. Secret's was a card. I think it is to keep his specialty hidden. Like he's some sort of agent.
Wooden's was a wooden hammer. It was a very good clubhouse. Right at the edge so we were never in a real danger and nopony came there.
We stayed there until there was a cock-a-trice there. We ran away without getting noticed by it.
Apparently some filly from the Apple clan found it and made it her and her friends clubhouse. We didn't mind because we were to scared to go back. Now that clubhouse is her little sisters and her little sister's friends I think.
Now remember how I said that I didn't have to do anything in school to get good grades? Well, I got up to sixth grade and things just went downhill.
I barely managed sixth grade. Seventh and eight grade were also annoying. Ninth however I managed to get a hold of myself and study.
And about this time, something happened. I've said that you shouldn't get me angry, well, explanation time.
One time when I was walking home I was attacked by drunk tourists, they pushed me into the ever-free forest. They were five. Three survived. I don't like this. Why would I talk about it.
Anyways, (shiver). They pushed me around and punched me and just generally hurt me and my feelings.
I eventually stopped them, by going so angry my mane and tail turned to fire, my coat became dark red and my eyes were blood red, including the eyewhite and the little black dot in the eye.
Fire spewed everywhere and the ponies got a serious burn. The forset lit ablaze and my anger subsided. I put out the fire as fast as I regained my conciounse and took them to a hospital.
They are unable to talk, and have a completely rational fear of fire.
Nopony knows about this so be quiet. Don't tell your OC, I might know them and they would be scared of me if you told them. And tell the police. Hush, now.
In scool it went, err, usual? Sort of good yet bad at the same time.
After I had enough money I moved out from my parent's house and and bought a house at the outskirts of Ponyville. It's a red house.
I also got a job at the power plant. My job is to keep Equestria supplied with energy.
Me, Secret and Wooden all stayed friends troughout our school years. We still are friends. ...I don't really know why I said that.
I didn't say anything, capish?
Good boy/girl who's from a completely different universe and I'm talking to trough the use of fanfictions.
Why are you looking at me funny. Please don't go! You're only halfway through the story. (I think, depends on how lazy the writer is.) STOP! Good. Thank Celestia you didn't leave.
"I am not lazy." A voice said inside Fireshock's head.
"Yeah you are." Fireshock replied.
"No." The voice said.
"Dude, you say that sometimes yourself."
"Well yeah, um, that, isn't, the, point?"
"That is the weakest reply ever"
"I know"
"Anyways. Why are you arguing with yourself?"
"Am not"
"Are too, you're the writer and my creator, remember?"
"Heh, it's funny to write remember. Oh my god you're right. I''M GOING CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Calm down."
"BUT I'M GOING CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!"
"No you're not, you're just failing miserably at making the readers laugh."
"Oh right, I forgot :/."
"What was that?"
":/"
"How do you pronunce that?"
"Read it sideways."
"..."
"Do it."
"Oh. Now I see it."
"Good. Now goodbye I hope this has filled it up to at least a thousand words now."
"Wut?"
"Nothing, goodbye."
"Bye?"
Anyways, where was I now again. Oh, and if you wonder why I acted like that was normal that was Xarsor. My creator. Now, I had just finished school and got a job. And bought a house.
