She looked out the peephole to see her freind PinkiePie with some stallion at her door. "Well hi Pinkie!" Greeted Twilight. "Hello Twilight, I have SOOOOOOOOOO much to tell you!" "look miss,as much as I appreciate your help, I think I'm ok." Said the pony. "OK?!? You don't know your own name!" Said Pinkie. "Woah woah woah guys, lets talk this out calmly inside, ok? " Said Twilight. The two ponies entered the building and sat with Twilight in her library. "Ok, explain whats going on slowly." Said Twilight. The stallion opened his mouth as if to speak but was interrupted by Pinkie. "So I was working at my shop when this stallion came in and I had never seen him before and that was weird since I know everpony here, but I asked him who he was and he said he didn't know!" Shouted Pinkie all at once. "Well, so much for slow... But do you really not know who you are?" Said Twilight, much more interested now that she was making sense of the situation. The stallion sighed and said "Yes, sadly I have no idea where I came from, what my name is, or why I'm even here. As far as I can tell, I woke up in the middle of nowhere lying on my back!" "So the first thing you remember is waking up in the middle of nowhere?" Questioned Pinkie. "Correct. The strangest part was that I knew how to speak fine, and I knew how to walk and eat and other common functions like those." "How strange, maybe a look at your cutie mark will help clear things up!" Said Twilight. "My what?" Asked the stallion. But the girls didn't hear him, as went around to his backside and lifted up his cloak. "What? How could this be?!?" Said Twilight "What?" "You...you don't have a cutie mark!" "What is that?" "It's a mark that appears on your flank when you discover your destiny, but you don't have one!" "Well, Is that a problem?" Asked the stallion. "Yes yes YES! A cutie mark is the most magical, wonderful, fantastic thing ever!" Pinkie chimed in. "Well, maybe we can find your destiny in the morning Mister, I'm tired. You can sleep here for now." Said Twilight. "Really? Thank you very much miss Sparkle, and to you as well Pinkie!" "No problemo mister! Maybe tomorrow we can find you a name!" Author's Note The second part to my saga of the pony with no past! Meeting Applejack and giving the man a nameIt was early morning in ponyville. Spike woke up with a stretch and a yawn and walked downstairs. As he walked into the library he found a man sleeping on the floor. Spike walked up to him, not knowing what he was doing here. Spike poked him, amd gave him a little shove in order to wake him up. Unfortunatley when he woke up, chaos ensued. "Ummm, hello? Are you awake?" Asked Spike "Hmmmmm? What? Twilight?" Asked the man just as the man turned to look at Spike, he saw the unfamiliar creature and screamed aloud. "No, wait! It's ok! I'm not going to hurt you!" Yelled Spike, but amongst his screaming the man heard nothing. He ran outside Twilights house and disappeared. Spike went upstairs and woke up Twilight. He told her what happened and the both ran outside to look for him. Eventually they found him hiding in a bush. "Mister! It's ok, it's me Twilight! This is my friend Spike." Said Twilight "F-f-f-f-friend?" He asked, shivering. "Yeah! It's ok, he won't hurt you." "O-o-o-o-ok then..." He said as he stepped out of the bush. Spike greeted him and, reluctantly, he smiled and said hello. "Ok mister shall we continue or talk?" Said Twilight ""Sounds good to me." "First we should get you a name, even of its temporary. I'm tired of calling you mister." "Agreed, how do people name one another around here?" "We'll it's usually based on what they're like. Like PinkyPie is Pink and likes desserts!" "Well we don't know what I like, all I've done so far is wander around!" "Well you're white... We could call you cloud? It could be the second part to your two part name if you want one like that." "Sure! My name will be cloud for now. So... What do we do now? Said cloud, glad to finally have a name (even though it's temporary) "I'll see if any books mention you, and you can go around ponyville and see if anything looks familiar. I'd start at Apple Acres. Here is a map." "Ok then. I guess I'll be off! Thank you for all your help so far!" "Bye!" Said Twilight and with that he was off to Apple Acres. Later Cloud reached Apple Acres, a large farm where the Apple family lived. He was sent here in order to see if it sparked any memories of his past. When he arrived he found an orange colored pony kicking trees with her hind legs. "Um, hello?" Said Cloud "Well howdy! How are you this mighty fine day? Oh, I'm Applejack by the way." Said Applejack "I'm fine thanks. I'm Cloud, I guess, I was wondering if I may have a tour of your farm?" "Well sure! But what's the reason?" Cloud explained all that hd went on beforehand and told her why he was here. "Well Ill be! A pony with No past, no name and no cutie mark! Never seen the likes of it before. Sure Ill give you a tour!" Said Applejack "Thank you Applejack." Said Cloud. So Applejack gave Cloud a tour of the farm, with no memories regained. "Hey big sis!" Cloud heard someone shout "Who's that you got there?" "Hey Applebloom! This is a friend of mine who doesn't know who he is! He doesn't even have a cutie mark!" Yelled Applejack As he was about to ask who he was yelling at he was tackled by 3 small ponies. One was a bright yellow with red hair, much like his own, an orange one with purple hair and wings, and one who was white with a light purple and pink mane. "YOU DONT HAVE A CUTIE MARK?!?!" They all said in unison. "No, I don't, actually. Who are you little ones?" Said Cloud "We're the Cutie Mark Crusaders! I'm Applebloom, this is Scootaloo, and this is Sweetiebelle!" At that moment Cloud felt something, and had felt a feeling of youth. He smiled at the kids knowing they had so much ahead of them. He tried to remember his own childhood, but couldn't seem to do so. Even so, the kids made him happy, something he hadn't been for a while. He talked to the kids for a little and thanked Applejack for her help. He then said he needed to go to his next location and see if he could find any memories there. He was off to a place marked on his map as Fluttershy's house. Author's Note Bear with me guys this story WILL get somewhere. Give it time and plot and conflict will enter the mix! (Glad I finally got a name in) Meeting Fluttershy and Celestia's letterCloud had just recently visited the farm, and had to go to his next location. Meanwhile, Twilight was getting upset. She couldn't find a single record of anyone like him in any book. She was about to go into a rage when Spike appeared with a letter. She opened it to read this: " Twilight Sparkle, I need you to come my palace immeadiatley. There is a big problem on our hands. From Celestia." "What do you think it's about Twilight?" Asked Spike. "Not sure, but it must be important! I'll go at once, you go find Cloud and tell him what's going on, and make sure everything is well." "Got it Twilight!" Said Spike as he left. Fluttershy was in her house with angel bunny, trying to get him to eat his food. As she was doing so she noticed someone approaching her door. She stepped outside to greet him. " Hello miss, you must be Fluttershy! My name is Cloud." Said Cloud. " Hi Cloud, what are you here for?" Asked Fluttershy. Cloud explained the happenings before hand and his lack of a past. " Oh my! That's terrible! I'd be delighted to show you all the animals I have here." Said Fluttershy. So Fluttershy showed Cloud all of the animals, the small, young, furry ones were his favorite, while the larger ones intimidated him. Still, sadly, no memories regained. At one point Angel Bunny came along and threw a carrot at Fluttershy's head, just for laughs. Fluttershy was used to this poor treatment, while Cloud was not as comfortable. "Hey, why did you do that?" Asked Cloud, obviously displeased. The bunny stuck it's tonnage out and mocked him. "Hey! You don't have to be so mean to her you know!" Shouted Cloud. "Oh it's ok Mr.Cloud, he's always like that." Said Fluttershy, not wanting any problems. After this Angel threw a carrot at Cloud's head. "Hey!!! Hasn't any pony taught you respect? You are shameful and rude! I don't suggest you try that again or you will be punished!" Shouted Cloud. At this point Angel had backed off of them both. "Wow, I've never seen anyone stand up to Angel like that! That was certainly very brave of you." Said Fluttershy. "I just don't want to see people be mean to my friends! Thank you though." Said Cloud. As he was finishing up with the tour, Spike appeared. "Hey Fluttershy, hey Cloud! I have a message from twilight! She had to go somewhere important for an unexplained reason so I'm here to watch over you! Said Spike proudly. "Well thank you Spike. I wonder what she could be doing that was so important..." Celestia was pacing back and forth waiting for her disciple to arrive. "Celestia! You needed me?" Said Twilight. "Yes Twilgiht, we are in grave danger." Said Celestia. "Danger? What do you mean?" "... Dischord has returned." Said Celestia. Twilight recoiled in fear at the sound. "DISCHORD? RETURNED? HOW?" Asked twilight, panicking. "Calm yourself! Panicking will not make anything better. I'm no sure how he escaped but he is more dangerous than ever before! You see he managed to find a way to make an Anti-Element charm that makes him much more resilient to the powers of friendship. We would need a whole other element to defeat him." Said Celestia. "And I know just where one is!" Said another voice. DIschord! Author's Note THERE WE GO, THERES THAT PLOT I MENTIONED. But yeah in all seriousness this is where the conflict comes from, and again, please bear with me it's a work in progress. Discord's arrival and meeting with Rarity Discord's arrival and meeting with Rarity Celestia and Twilight looked around the room for the cause of the booming voice. Discord appeared before them, with an evil smile spread across his face. "I know exactly where another element is! But if I told you, how fun would that be? I have nothing to worry about though, seeing as you'll never find it, I'll get my fun." Said Discord. "We're going to stop you Dischord! Just like last time!" Said Twilight. "Of course you will my darling. But tell me this... When you get this element, how do you plan to use it? You've only got the six of you." "I.. Uh.. I'll.. " muttered Twilight. "Exactly, now, LET CHAOS REIGN!" Said Discord. With this Discord walked out to go and spread Chaos. "Quickly Twilight! Go and gather your friends! Me must find the new element!" Said Celestia. "I'm on it princess!" "Alright Spike let's see, our next location is.. Rarity's house!" Said Cloud. "R-R-R-Rarity? Alright! Let's go!" Said Spike. Later they showed up at Rarity's house and rung her bell. "Why hello Spike! Who is this with you?" Asked Rarity. Cloud explained all of the happenings that happened beforehand. "Oh my, that is truly saddening! But before I were to even THINK about trying to fix your memory we simply MUST get you into some new clothes!" Said Rarity as she dragged him inside "First we take of this horrid bag and shirt. Now all we do is fix up the cloak and you'll look good as new!" "Thank you kindly Ms.Rarity, but I think I'm ok." Said Cloud "Hm, weird, I don't remember my bag... Guess I never bothered to see what's in it." So Rarity continued to work on his robe while he sat around, rummaging through his bag. He found things such as coins, a goblet, a crown, and a very fancy necklace. He wondered where he could have gotten all this stuff. He simply shrugged it off. "All done! Here is your new cloak!" Said Rarity, revealing a beautiful red and white cloak. "Wow.. This is amazing! Thank you so much!" Said Cloud, tossing her a few coins from his bag. "No problem! You didn't need to pay though!" "It's ok, I'm glad to pay." Said Cloud. As he said this, Twilight burst through the door. "Rarity, we need you! Discord has returned!" Shouted Twilight. "Got it!" Said Rarity as she ran out the door "I suggest you come as well Cloud!" Cloud followed behind the rest. "Ok gang we need to find the new element of harmony and fast! Let's think of places it could be..." Said Twilight. They thought and thought but didn't have any leads. "What does this element look like?" Asked Cloud. "It should be a necklace, if I'm correct." Said Rarity "A necklace? Like this?" Said Cloud, as he pulled out the necklace from his bag. "YES, EXACTLY LIKE THAT! THATS IT CLOUD!" Yelled Twilight. They all jumped for joy until an unpleasant voice interrupted. "We'll, that was no fun. You figured it out too fast! Well, because I'm going to play fair, I'm still going to help you. Here!" Said Discord. As he finished a note appeared on the ground saying "To find the way to defeat me, go to the forest called Everfree!" "Ok guys, let's go to Everfree forest!" Said Twilight. Author's Note Ok,ok I know it's confusing but all of it will make more and more sense as it goes along. Everfree forest and too much frustration Pt: 1"Let's go to Everfree forest!" Shouted Twilight. They all rushed out the door and to the Everfree forest. "Everfree? Elements? Discord? This is really confusing to me!" Said Cloud. "I'll explain to all soon, ok?" "Ok... I was just curious, if this element of harmony is so important... Why was it in my pack?" Asked Cloud "That is certainly strange." Said Rarity. "I guess we'll have to figure that out too." Said Twilight. "Ummm, hey guys? I know we're on a big adventure right now, but who is this guy?" Asked RainbowDash. "Oh! I assumed you would have met him by now! This is Cloud." Said Twilight. "Oh I heard of him! He's the guy with a messed up memory, isn't he?" Asked Rainbow Dash "Correct, but I suggest we get back to the situation at hand. We're here." Said Rarity. The forest loomed over their heads in a way that made them cringe with fright. "Do we have to go in there? I find it really scary." Said Fluttershy, whimpering. "Oh come on Fluttershy, it's not THAT scary. It's just a forest!" Said Pinkie Pie. "Easy for you to say..." Said Fluttershy. "Will y'all stop it? We need to get going!" Said Applejack. Hey ran into the forest until the realized something, they no idea what they were looking for. Twilight suggested they see Zecora, Fluttershy suggested they leave, and Applejack suggested they split up and look for clues. "Zecora can't help us! We need to split up!" Said Applejack. "Of course she can! She always does!" Said Twilight. "I like leaving, leaving sounds good." Said Fluttershy, who was hiding in a bush. "Girls! We are getting nowhere! If we can't find the solution ourselves, than I say we see whoever Zecora is. Ok?" Said Cloud. For a moment they sat there and stared at the quiet pony who hadn't talked much before hand, but now raised his voice In a way that could intimidate anything. They looked at each other, and they all agreed. They walked in the direction of Zecora's house. When they got there they saw Zecora making some strange brew, as usual. They knocked the door. "Hello there Twilight! Please come in while the day is still bright!" Said Zecora. "Thank you Zecora, you see we have this problem..." Said Twilight. She explained how Discord returned and a new element was found. They asked if she could help but she knew little. "I don't have the answers that you seek, but at something else, may I peek?" Said Zecora "What at?" "Your friend is what I'd like to see, for I find him in my memory. Familiar is something he certainly looks, like I have seem him in a book!" "A book? That's weird, I looked in every roster, and in every book on my shelf but found nothing!" Said Twilight. "A book you say? That's strange, why would I be in a book?" Asked Cloud to himself. They all heard a noise that was something they weren't familiar with. It sounded like a low grumbling, and as they look out the window they found that to be true. A large timber wolf stood outside and pounced on the building, destroying on of the walls, leaving them venerable. "AAAAAAH!" Screamed Fluttershy aloud. "Get back guys, I got this!" Said RainbowDash, with great confidence. She flew at It with an intense speed, but it simply smacked her down with one swing. "Hey! You shouldn't have done that!" Yelled Cloud. He used his horn, without hesitating, and picked up a large rock and threw it right at its face. It hit it dead on and it crumbled to the ground. "Wow! That. Was. AWESOME!" Said RainbowDash. "Thank you so much Cloud! Say, when did you learn to use magic? I thought you forgot how to use magic." Asked Twilight. "I...I don't know. It just came naturally." Said Cloud, amazed at his own ability. "Now I have remembered you! You were someone very important too..." Said Zecora, annoyed because she couldn't figure out who he was, but it was on the tip of her tounge. "We need to get going! Hopefully we can find our solution elsewhere!" Said Twilight. They all thanked Zecora for her help, and trotted off. At that moment, Zecora remembered who he was, but they had all left before she could say it. And what's worse? It could easily help find the solution. Author's Note FINALLY. Man, have I been waiting for this story to get somewhere. If you were wondering why I added everything that happened before, than just stick with me and it will all come together. Hopefully the next (and final) few chapters of this story will be much better than the first. (I admit the beginning wasn't very good) Everfree forest and too much frustration Pt: 2Never in the span of time he remembered had he ever heard such arguing. Cloud stood by a tree while Applejack, Twilight, and Rarity all stood yelling at one another. Twilight suggested that they search specific areas as a group, Applejack wanted to split up and look for any signs, and Rarity wanted to split into groups of 2's (not including Cloud of course, whom she really didn't care about). It seemed that they didn't care about Cloud, or the element, or it's purpose... All they wanted is to win the argument. Sheepishly Fluttershy walked over to Cloud. "Hey Fluttershy! Gosh, they really can argue, can't they? Said Cloud. "Yeah..." Said Fluttershy, who looked rather pale. "What's wrong? You look pale." Asked Cloud. "Well, I really am afraid of the Everfree Forest, and now that Discord Is on the loose..." Said Fluttershy, on the brink of crying. "Hey now, everything will be fine" Cloud out his hoof around her shoulder and she blushed. She looked up at him, and saw that he looked straight into her eyes with a look of confidence. She smiled and agreed, calming herself down. It seemed whenever she was around him, there was always a comforting look in his eyes. She liked that. "You know what? If these people won't help us find the solution, I'll look for it myself." Said Cloud. "Oh, please don't... I don't want you to get hurt." Said Fluttershy. "Thanks for your concern, but I'd like to make progress they're not making." Said Cloud. He walked away without looking back and headed into the heart of the forest. Cloud walked aimlessly through the forest. It felt like hours he had been there and he had made no progress. As he felt like he was about to fall down out of his own tiredness, he heard a voice. "Wow, I can't believe it. The one pony they needed to find the solution wanders off on his own. What do they call you now? Cloud? I can't believe someone like you would end up here with me." Said Discord, snickering "Someone as important as you I mean. You were so great before." "Who are you? What do you know about who I was?" Asked Cloud. "Oh you? Well that doesn't matter now does it? Let's talk about you now. Alone, abandoned by your so called "friends". They don't care about you. You're just another pony to them. All they want is your element. You're left all alone in the middle of the forest and they don't even care!" Said Discord. "That's... That isn't true." Said Cloud "It just can't be...". "Really? What makes you say so? They just met you! It's not like they really care. Here, let me make you a deal. I give you you're memory..." Said Dischord, with the most wicked of smiles on his face "For the element. What do you say?" Cloud sat there. That was all he did, sat there. He couldn't bring himself to say it, but he thought... That maybe he was right. These people couldn't be his friends, they just want his element. "Deal." Said Cloud. He grabbed the necklace from his neck and took it off. This was the first time he'd gotten a good look at it. It looked like a shield kind of shape, with some object printed in the middle. He didn't care though, he was going to give I away anyway. "Here, take it." Said Cloud grimly. He extended his arm as if to give it to him, but something hit him. He had a vision of Fluttershy, telling him not to go. She cared. He saw Rarity, fixing him his nice robe. She cared. He saw the little fillies that might not be able to live the rest of their lives normally if he went through with this. They cared. And now, He did too. "No... NO!" Shouted Cloud "I won't give it to you! My friends do care! I'm willing to do anything to protect them!". "A sad mistake, you almost knew. Oh well, i guess I'll just have to take it." Said Discord. He reached for the necklace, but Cloud pulled it away. Dischord charged at him, but Cloud evaded him. Cloud picked up a fallen branch and hit Discord with it. It felt natural, so he swung again, using it like a sword. Eventually he got one perfect crack at his head, and that set him off. "FINE, you keep the element! You'll never figure out how to use it anyway!" Said Discord. "I think we already have!" Said a voice coming from the side. Twilight and her friends emerged from the bush. "After that scene, we already know what he is! Courageous!" Said Twilight. The necklace around Clouds neck started to glow. It shined so bright and started to lift him up! His eyes glowed glowed a beautiful red and the necklace shot a bright red laser right at Discord. It hit the necklace Discord was wearing himself which was what Twilight assumed was the anti-element. The anti-element around his neck burst into tiny pieces. "NO! MY ANTI-ELEMENT!" Shouted Discord. All the other elements lit up and dragged the others around Cloud. All of their combined elements shot an array of colors right at Discord. He exploded in a flash of light and color, and was gone, leaving only a pile of ash. The seven dropped to the ground and stared at one another. Then, all at once' they looked at at Cloud. "Cloud! You did it! You found your element!" Said Twilight. "I... I did? Oh I see..." Said Cloud. He then did something no pony expected. He laughed. He laughed aloud and was smiling ear to ear. Naturally Pinkie joined him, being the element of laughter. "What's so funny?" Asked Rarity. "Nothing, I'm just so glad I have friends like you! I just can't believe we did it!" Said Cloud, still smiling. "Look! On his flank!" Shout RainbowDash. On Clouds flank appeared a cutie mark. It was a grayish blue shield with a heart in the middle, tied with with two red ribbons. "I guess this means I'm normal now. So what do we do now?" Asked Cloud. "Let's go see Celestia!" Said Twilight. Author's Note Yaaaaaaaay! This is what I'm assuming answered some of your questions. It's been a rough ride until now and I'm glad that I got it cleaned up. Next part should be the last one, but I'm still going to write more stories after this. Hopefully I'll include a link in the last part with an image of Clouds cutie mark. By the way, if you want an image of Cloud, it's my profile picture. Thanks for reading so far! The Presant of PastEverything was good in Cloud's life. Discord was gone, he had his cutie mark, and he had some great new friends. Although, there was one thing missing. He still had no idea of his own past. After they had destroyed Discord, Twilight took the group to see someone named Celestia. From the way they described her, she apparently was of great royalty. They had arrived at a large palace, confirming Cloud's prediction. "Celestia! We defeated Discord with the help of our friend!" Said Twilight. Celestia turned and looked at Cloud, with a gaze of astonishment. "Twilight, how did you manage to bring me this? How did you manage to keep him restrained?" Asked Celestia. Cloud looked around and saw that the royal guards were cringing and cowering at the sight of him. He wondered what he could have done for them to act like that. "Restrained? Princess I'd like to inform you we have no reason to keep our friend here restrained!" Said Rarity. "Of course you do! I'm trying not to be harsh, but there is no way this criminal was the one responsible for the defeating of our foe." Said Celestia. Cloud shuddered at the word criminal. "What in Equestria are you talking about?" Said Twilight. "Do you not know of the man you brought me? His name is Blazing Sword!" Said Celestia. The whole company drew back at the name. Everyone turned to look at Cloud, who sat there puzzled. "Princess, there's no way this guy is Blazing Sword! He's kind and he's nice to us all!" Said RainbowDash. "He is! He is the rebel who caused one of the greatest problems in all of Equestria! The Great Gold Heist!" Said Celestia. His heart dropped. His eyes widened. His memory returned at the sound of those words. The Great Gold Heist. It started with a man named Blazing Sword, a royal guard, with evil intentions. When he had the perfect chance, he snuck into the Equestrian gold stash and stole all the gold. He took all the gold and hid it, and when the guards came after it, Blade defended it with his life. He used a sword and sliced away at the guards, and even went as far as to throw large rocks at them. Eventually one guard by the name of Shining Armor knocked him to the ground and returned the gold. They tried to return him to the palace, but he managed to get away. He ran and remained hidden for a year, but on accident he fell of a large hill and hit his head on a boulder. A bunch of smaller rocks hit him and he lost his memory, just lying out in a field. That was him. That was... Him. As he came back from his memories Cloud ran from the palace crying. He never wanted to be seen again. He was a criminal. "Wait, Cloud! Come back!" Yelled Twilight. They ran after him and found him hiding in a dark corner, crying. "Cloud..." Said Fluttershy. "I'm not Cloud..." Said Cloud trembling, " I'm Blazing Sword. I deserve to be alone!" "What you did before doesn't matter! You just saved the world from pure chaos! You redeemed yourself and you're a new man!" Said Twilight. "D-D-Do you really think so?" Said Cloud. "I'm certain." Said Fluttershy, putting a hoof around his shoulder, "Everything will be fine.". Cloud looked her in the eye and found comfort there. He smiled at her an nodded his head. Just then Celestia appeared. "Blazing Swo... I mean, Cloud, what you have done for us greatly out balances what you have done wrong. It's ok to feel ashamed, but you have redeemed yourself and you will not receive punishment. As a matter of fact, you will receive celebration!" Said Celestia. Later that day there was a party to celebrate the defeating of Discord and the good deed of Cloud. Everyone was happy, and all were merry. There were lights and streamers everywhere (courtesy of Pinkie), and lots of cider and other drinks for all. While most were about partying on person sat away from the rest. Cloud. As much as he'd love to celebrate, he was very tired. He spied Fluttershy standing by a table, drinking. She looked at him and smiled. He smiled back, but only before he drifted off to sleep. Cloud was happy. Author's Note And we reached the end of the Pony with No Past! I'm glad it's all finished and I'm very happy with the turnout. Even though I started off poorly, I learned and came together to make this story. Thank you to anyone who has read this story! See you next story! Bye, from Cloud. The crossing of pathsIt all started on a perfectly normal day. It was around mid-day in ponyville, not much was going on. PinkiePie was sitting in her shop making cupcakes when she saw a unicorn walk in. He was white with red hair and heavy looking clothes that covered most of his chest, back, and flank. For the most part he wasn't any different from any other customer, but Pinkie had never seen him before, which was unusual because she knew everyone in town. "Hello mister! What would you like?" Greeted Pinkie "Oh nothing I'm just browsing around, if you don't mind." "Ok then! Say, I haven't seen you around here before... What's your name?" "Honestly I'd rather not talk about my name, or where I'm from for that matter." "Come on you have to tell me! Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease? Said Pinkie excitedly "No" "Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease?" "No" "Pleasey weezey chocolate squeezey?" "No!" Pinkie fluttered her eyelashes in a cutsie kind of fashion. "Pretty please?" "ALRIGHT!" Shouted the man, "I don't know my name.... Or where I'm from." For a moment PinkiePie sat in silence until she said "You don't know your own name?" "No, sadly I don't. I might tell you more in the morning, but i need a place to stay for the night. Is there an inn i could stay in?" "No inn, but I have a friend who would be glad to let you stay with her!" Pinkie said. "Wait I'm not sure if I'm..." But befe he could finish he was whisked away to Twilight Sparkles house. Author's Note Ooooook. I'm writing this after I've finished the story and I'd like to say that this part is really bad. If you're kind enough I'd love for you to read till the end! Please note that this is my first time writing a fanfic and am new to the brony community entirely. I plan to finish this story, but I'm not sure when.
Meeting Twilight SparkleTwilight Sparkle was in her house, studying as usual, when she heard a knock on the door. She looked out the peephole to see her freind PinkiePie with some stallion at her door. "Well hi Pinkie!" Greeted Twilight. "Hello Twilight, I have SOOOOOOOOOO much to tell you!" "look miss,as much as I appreciate your help, I think I'm ok." Said the pony. "OK?!? You don't know your own name!" Said Pinkie. "Woah woah woah guys, lets talk this out calmly inside, ok? " Said Twilight. The two ponies entered the building and sat with Twilight in her library. "Ok, explain whats going on slowly." Said Twilight. The stallion opened his mouth as if to speak but was interrupted by Pinkie. "So I was working at my shop when this stallion came in and I had never seen him before and that was weird since I know everpony here, but I asked him who he was and he said he didn't know!" Shouted Pinkie all at once. "Well, so much for slow... But do you really not know who you are?" Said Twilight, much more interested now that she was making sense of the situation. The stallion sighed and said "Yes, sadly I have no idea where I came from, what my name is, or why I'm even here. As far as I can tell, I woke up in the middle of nowhere lying on my back!" "So the first thing you remember is waking up in the middle of nowhere?" Questioned Pinkie. "Correct. The strangest part was that I knew how to speak fine, and I knew how to walk and eat and other common functions like those." "How strange, maybe a look at your cutie mark will help clear things up!" Said Twilight. "My what?" Asked the stallion. But the girls didn't hear him, as went around to his backside and lifted up his cloak. "What? How could this be?!?" Said Twilight "What?" "You...you don't have a cutie mark!" "What is that?" "It's a mark that appears on your flank when you discover your destiny, but you don't have one!" "Well, Is that a problem?" Asked the stallion. "Yes yes YES! A cutie mark is the most magical, wonderful, fantastic thing ever!" Pinkie chimed in. "Well, maybe we can find your destiny in the morning Mister, I'm tired. You can sleep here for now." Said Twilight. "Really? Thank you very much miss Sparkle, and to you as well Pinkie!" "No problemo mister! Maybe tomorrow we can find you a name!" Author's Note The second part to my saga of the pony with no past!
Meeting Applejack and giving the man a nameIt was early morning in ponyville. Spike woke up with a stretch and a yawn and walked downstairs. As he walked into the library he found a man sleeping on the floor. Spike walked up to him, not knowing what he was doing here. Spike poked him, amd gave him a little shove in order to wake him up. Unfortunatley when he woke up, chaos ensued. "Ummm, hello? Are you awake?" Asked Spike "Hmmmmm? What? Twilight?" Asked the man just as the man turned to look at Spike, he saw the unfamiliar creature and screamed aloud. "No, wait! It's ok! I'm not going to hurt you!" Yelled Spike, but amongst his screaming the man heard nothing. He ran outside Twilights house and disappeared. Spike went upstairs and woke up Twilight. He told her what happened and the both ran outside to look for him. Eventually they found him hiding in a bush. "Mister! It's ok, it's me Twilight! This is my friend Spike." Said Twilight "F-f-f-f-friend?" He asked, shivering. "Yeah! It's ok, he won't hurt you." "O-o-o-o-ok then..." He said as he stepped out of the bush. Spike greeted him and, reluctantly, he smiled and said hello. "Ok mister shall we continue or talk?" Said Twilight ""Sounds good to me." "First we should get you a name, even of its temporary. I'm tired of calling you mister." "Agreed, how do people name one another around here?" "We'll it's usually based on what they're like. Like PinkyPie is Pink and likes desserts!" "Well we don't know what I like, all I've done so far is wander around!" "Well you're white... We could call you cloud? It could be the second part to your two part name if you want one like that." "Sure! My name will be cloud for now. So... What do we do now? Said cloud, glad to finally have a name (even though it's temporary) "I'll see if any books mention you, and you can go around ponyville and see if anything looks familiar. I'd start at Apple Acres. Here is a map." "Ok then. I guess I'll be off! Thank you for all your help so far!" "Bye!" Said Twilight and with that he was off to Apple Acres. Later Cloud reached Apple Acres, a large farm where the Apple family lived. He was sent here in order to see if it sparked any memories of his past. When he arrived he found an orange colored pony kicking trees with her hind legs. "Um, hello?" Said Cloud "Well howdy! How are you this mighty fine day? Oh, I'm Applejack by the way." Said Applejack "I'm fine thanks. I'm Cloud, I guess, I was wondering if I may have a tour of your farm?" "Well sure! But what's the reason?" Cloud explained all that hd went on beforehand and told her why he was here. "Well Ill be! A pony with No past, no name and no cutie mark! Never seen the likes of it before. Sure Ill give you a tour!" Said Applejack "Thank you Applejack." Said Cloud. So Applejack gave Cloud a tour of the farm, with no memories regained. "Hey big sis!" Cloud heard someone shout "Who's that you got there?" "Hey Applebloom! This is a friend of mine who doesn't know who he is! He doesn't even have a cutie mark!" Yelled Applejack As he was about to ask who he was yelling at he was tackled by 3 small ponies. One was a bright yellow with red hair, much like his own, an orange one with purple hair and wings, and one who was white with a light purple and pink mane. "YOU DONT HAVE A CUTIE MARK?!?!" They all said in unison. "No, I don't, actually. Who are you little ones?" Said Cloud "We're the Cutie Mark Crusaders! I'm Applebloom, this is Scootaloo, and this is Sweetiebelle!" At that moment Cloud felt something, and had felt a feeling of youth. He smiled at the kids knowing they had so much ahead of them. He tried to remember his own childhood, but couldn't seem to do so. Even so, the kids made him happy, something he hadn't been for a while. He talked to the kids for a little and thanked Applejack for her help. He then said he needed to go to his next location and see if he could find any memories there. He was off to a place marked on his map as Fluttershy's house. Author's Note Bear with me guys this story WILL get somewhere. Give it time and plot and conflict will enter the mix! (Glad I finally got a name in)
Meeting Fluttershy and Celestia's letterCloud had just recently visited the farm, and had to go to his next location. Meanwhile, Twilight was getting upset. She couldn't find a single record of anyone like him in any book. She was about to go into a rage when Spike appeared with a letter. She opened it to read this: " Twilight Sparkle, I need you to come my palace immeadiatley. There is a big problem on our hands. From Celestia." "What do you think it's about Twilight?" Asked Spike. "Not sure, but it must be important! I'll go at once, you go find Cloud and tell him what's going on, and make sure everything is well." "Got it Twilight!" Said Spike as he left. Fluttershy was in her house with angel bunny, trying to get him to eat his food. As she was doing so she noticed someone approaching her door. She stepped outside to greet him. " Hello miss, you must be Fluttershy! My name is Cloud." Said Cloud. " Hi Cloud, what are you here for?" Asked Fluttershy. Cloud explained the happenings before hand and his lack of a past. " Oh my! That's terrible! I'd be delighted to show you all the animals I have here." Said Fluttershy. So Fluttershy showed Cloud all of the animals, the small, young, furry ones were his favorite, while the larger ones intimidated him. Still, sadly, no memories regained. At one point Angel Bunny came along and threw a carrot at Fluttershy's head, just for laughs. Fluttershy was used to this poor treatment, while Cloud was not as comfortable. "Hey, why did you do that?" Asked Cloud, obviously displeased. The bunny stuck it's tonnage out and mocked him. "Hey! You don't have to be so mean to her you know!" Shouted Cloud. "Oh it's ok Mr.Cloud, he's always like that." Said Fluttershy, not wanting any problems. After this Angel threw a carrot at Cloud's head. "Hey!!! Hasn't any pony taught you respect? You are shameful and rude! I don't suggest you try that again or you will be punished!" Shouted Cloud. At this point Angel had backed off of them both. "Wow, I've never seen anyone stand up to Angel like that! That was certainly very brave of you." Said Fluttershy. "I just don't want to see people be mean to my friends! Thank you though." Said Cloud. As he was finishing up with the tour, Spike appeared. "Hey Fluttershy, hey Cloud! I have a message from twilight! She had to go somewhere important for an unexplained reason so I'm here to watch over you! Said Spike proudly. "Well thank you Spike. I wonder what she could be doing that was so important..." Celestia was pacing back and forth waiting for her disciple to arrive. "Celestia! You needed me?" Said Twilight. "Yes Twilgiht, we are in grave danger." Said Celestia. "Danger? What do you mean?" "... Dischord has returned." Said Celestia. Twilight recoiled in fear at the sound. "DISCHORD? RETURNED? HOW?" Asked twilight, panicking. "Calm yourself! Panicking will not make anything better. I'm no sure how he escaped but he is more dangerous than ever before! You see he managed to find a way to make an Anti-Element charm that makes him much more resilient to the powers of friendship. We would need a whole other element to defeat him." Said Celestia. "And I know just where one is!" Said another voice. DIschord! Author's Note THERE WE GO, THERES THAT PLOT I MENTIONED. But yeah in all seriousness this is where the conflict comes from, and again, please bear with me it's a work in progress.
Discord's arrival and meeting with Rarity Discord's arrival and meeting with Rarity Celestia and Twilight looked around the room for the cause of the booming voice. Discord appeared before them, with an evil smile spread across his face. "I know exactly where another element is! But if I told you, how fun would that be? I have nothing to worry about though, seeing as you'll never find it, I'll get my fun." Said Discord. "We're going to stop you Dischord! Just like last time!" Said Twilight. "Of course you will my darling. But tell me this... When you get this element, how do you plan to use it? You've only got the six of you." "I.. Uh.. I'll.. " muttered Twilight. "Exactly, now, LET CHAOS REIGN!" Said Discord. With this Discord walked out to go and spread Chaos. "Quickly Twilight! Go and gather your friends! Me must find the new element!" Said Celestia. "I'm on it princess!" "Alright Spike let's see, our next location is.. Rarity's house!" Said Cloud. "R-R-R-Rarity? Alright! Let's go!" Said Spike. Later they showed up at Rarity's house and rung her bell. "Why hello Spike! Who is this with you?" Asked Rarity. Cloud explained all of the happenings that happened beforehand. "Oh my, that is truly saddening! But before I were to even THINK about trying to fix your memory we simply MUST get you into some new clothes!" Said Rarity as she dragged him inside "First we take of this horrid bag and shirt. Now all we do is fix up the cloak and you'll look good as new!" "Thank you kindly Ms.Rarity, but I think I'm ok." Said Cloud "Hm, weird, I don't remember my bag... Guess I never bothered to see what's in it." So Rarity continued to work on his robe while he sat around, rummaging through his bag. He found things such as coins, a goblet, a crown, and a very fancy necklace. He wondered where he could have gotten all this stuff. He simply shrugged it off. "All done! Here is your new cloak!" Said Rarity, revealing a beautiful red and white cloak. "Wow.. This is amazing! Thank you so much!" Said Cloud, tossing her a few coins from his bag. "No problem! You didn't need to pay though!" "It's ok, I'm glad to pay." Said Cloud. As he said this, Twilight burst through the door. "Rarity, we need you! Discord has returned!" Shouted Twilight. "Got it!" Said Rarity as she ran out the door "I suggest you come as well Cloud!" Cloud followed behind the rest. "Ok gang we need to find the new element of harmony and fast! Let's think of places it could be..." Said Twilight. They thought and thought but didn't have any leads. "What does this element look like?" Asked Cloud. "It should be a necklace, if I'm correct." Said Rarity "A necklace? Like this?" Said Cloud, as he pulled out the necklace from his bag. "YES, EXACTLY LIKE THAT! THATS IT CLOUD!" Yelled Twilight. They all jumped for joy until an unpleasant voice interrupted. "We'll, that was no fun. You figured it out too fast! Well, because I'm going to play fair, I'm still going to help you. Here!" Said Discord. As he finished a note appeared on the ground saying "To find the way to defeat me, go to the forest called Everfree!" "Ok guys, let's go to Everfree forest!" Said Twilight. Author's Note Ok,ok I know it's confusing but all of it will make more and more sense as it goes along.
Everfree forest and too much frustration Pt: 1"Let's go to Everfree forest!" Shouted Twilight. They all rushed out the door and to the Everfree forest. "Everfree? Elements? Discord? This is really confusing to me!" Said Cloud. "I'll explain to all soon, ok?" "Ok... I was just curious, if this element of harmony is so important... Why was it in my pack?" Asked Cloud "That is certainly strange." Said Rarity. "I guess we'll have to figure that out too." Said Twilight. "Ummm, hey guys? I know we're on a big adventure right now, but who is this guy?" Asked RainbowDash. "Oh! I assumed you would have met him by now! This is Cloud." Said Twilight. "Oh I heard of him! He's the guy with a messed up memory, isn't he?" Asked Rainbow Dash "Correct, but I suggest we get back to the situation at hand. We're here." Said Rarity. The forest loomed over their heads in a way that made them cringe with fright. "Do we have to go in there? I find it really scary." Said Fluttershy, whimpering. "Oh come on Fluttershy, it's not THAT scary. It's just a forest!" Said Pinkie Pie. "Easy for you to say..." Said Fluttershy. "Will y'all stop it? We need to get going!" Said Applejack. Hey ran into the forest until the realized something, they no idea what they were looking for. Twilight suggested they see Zecora, Fluttershy suggested they leave, and Applejack suggested they split up and look for clues. "Zecora can't help us! We need to split up!" Said Applejack. "Of course she can! She always does!" Said Twilight. "I like leaving, leaving sounds good." Said Fluttershy, who was hiding in a bush. "Girls! We are getting nowhere! If we can't find the solution ourselves, than I say we see whoever Zecora is. Ok?" Said Cloud. For a moment they sat there and stared at the quiet pony who hadn't talked much before hand, but now raised his voice In a way that could intimidate anything. They looked at each other, and they all agreed. They walked in the direction of Zecora's house. When they got there they saw Zecora making some strange brew, as usual. They knocked the door. "Hello there Twilight! Please come in while the day is still bright!" Said Zecora. "Thank you Zecora, you see we have this problem..." Said Twilight. She explained how Discord returned and a new element was found. They asked if she could help but she knew little. "I don't have the answers that you seek, but at something else, may I peek?" Said Zecora "What at?" "Your friend is what I'd like to see, for I find him in my memory. Familiar is something he certainly looks, like I have seem him in a book!" "A book? That's weird, I looked in every roster, and in every book on my shelf but found nothing!" Said Twilight. "A book you say? That's strange, why would I be in a book?" Asked Cloud to himself. They all heard a noise that was something they weren't familiar with. It sounded like a low grumbling, and as they look out the window they found that to be true. A large timber wolf stood outside and pounced on the building, destroying on of the walls, leaving them venerable. "AAAAAAH!" Screamed Fluttershy aloud. "Get back guys, I got this!" Said RainbowDash, with great confidence. She flew at It with an intense speed, but it simply smacked her down with one swing. "Hey! You shouldn't have done that!" Yelled Cloud. He used his horn, without hesitating, and picked up a large rock and threw it right at its face. It hit it dead on and it crumbled to the ground. "Wow! That. Was. AWESOME!" Said RainbowDash. "Thank you so much Cloud! Say, when did you learn to use magic? I thought you forgot how to use magic." Asked Twilight. "I...I don't know. It just came naturally." Said Cloud, amazed at his own ability. "Now I have remembered you! You were someone very important too..." Said Zecora, annoyed because she couldn't figure out who he was, but it was on the tip of her tounge. "We need to get going! Hopefully we can find our solution elsewhere!" Said Twilight. They all thanked Zecora for her help, and trotted off. At that moment, Zecora remembered who he was, but they had all left before she could say it. And what's worse? It could easily help find the solution. Author's Note FINALLY. Man, have I been waiting for this story to get somewhere. If you were wondering why I added everything that happened before, than just stick with me and it will all come together. Hopefully the next (and final) few chapters of this story will be much better than the first. (I admit the beginning wasn't very good)
Everfree forest and too much frustration Pt: 2Never in the span of time he remembered had he ever heard such arguing. Cloud stood by a tree while Applejack, Twilight, and Rarity all stood yelling at one another. Twilight suggested that they search specific areas as a group, Applejack wanted to split up and look for any signs, and Rarity wanted to split into groups of 2's (not including Cloud of course, whom she really didn't care about). It seemed that they didn't care about Cloud, or the element, or it's purpose... All they wanted is to win the argument. Sheepishly Fluttershy walked over to Cloud. "Hey Fluttershy! Gosh, they really can argue, can't they? Said Cloud. "Yeah..." Said Fluttershy, who looked rather pale. "What's wrong? You look pale." Asked Cloud. "Well, I really am afraid of the Everfree Forest, and now that Discord Is on the loose..." Said Fluttershy, on the brink of crying. "Hey now, everything will be fine" Cloud out his hoof around her shoulder and she blushed. She looked up at him, and saw that he looked straight into her eyes with a look of confidence. She smiled and agreed, calming herself down. It seemed whenever she was around him, there was always a comforting look in his eyes. She liked that. "You know what? If these people won't help us find the solution, I'll look for it myself." Said Cloud. "Oh, please don't... I don't want you to get hurt." Said Fluttershy. "Thanks for your concern, but I'd like to make progress they're not making." Said Cloud. He walked away without looking back and headed into the heart of the forest. Cloud walked aimlessly through the forest. It felt like hours he had been there and he had made no progress. As he felt like he was about to fall down out of his own tiredness, he heard a voice. "Wow, I can't believe it. The one pony they needed to find the solution wanders off on his own. What do they call you now? Cloud? I can't believe someone like you would end up here with me." Said Discord, snickering "Someone as important as you I mean. You were so great before." "Who are you? What do you know about who I was?" Asked Cloud. "Oh you? Well that doesn't matter now does it? Let's talk about you now. Alone, abandoned by your so called "friends". They don't care about you. You're just another pony to them. All they want is your element. You're left all alone in the middle of the forest and they don't even care!" Said Discord. "That's... That isn't true." Said Cloud "It just can't be...". "Really? What makes you say so? They just met you! It's not like they really care. Here, let me make you a deal. I give you you're memory..." Said Dischord, with the most wicked of smiles on his face "For the element. What do you say?" Cloud sat there. That was all he did, sat there. He couldn't bring himself to say it, but he thought... That maybe he was right. These people couldn't be his friends, they just want his element. "Deal." Said Cloud. He grabbed the necklace from his neck and took it off. This was the first time he'd gotten a good look at it. It looked like a shield kind of shape, with some object printed in the middle. He didn't care though, he was going to give I away anyway. "Here, take it." Said Cloud grimly. He extended his arm as if to give it to him, but something hit him. He had a vision of Fluttershy, telling him not to go. She cared. He saw Rarity, fixing him his nice robe. She cared. He saw the little fillies that might not be able to live the rest of their lives normally if he went through with this. They cared. And now, He did too. "No... NO!" Shouted Cloud "I won't give it to you! My friends do care! I'm willing to do anything to protect them!". "A sad mistake, you almost knew. Oh well, i guess I'll just have to take it." Said Discord. He reached for the necklace, but Cloud pulled it away. Dischord charged at him, but Cloud evaded him. Cloud picked up a fallen branch and hit Discord with it. It felt natural, so he swung again, using it like a sword. Eventually he got one perfect crack at his head, and that set him off. "FINE, you keep the element! You'll never figure out how to use it anyway!" Said Discord. "I think we already have!" Said a voice coming from the side. Twilight and her friends emerged from the bush. "After that scene, we already know what he is! Courageous!" Said Twilight. The necklace around Clouds neck started to glow. It shined so bright and started to lift him up! His eyes glowed glowed a beautiful red and the necklace shot a bright red laser right at Discord. It hit the necklace Discord was wearing himself which was what Twilight assumed was the anti-element. The anti-element around his neck burst into tiny pieces. "NO! MY ANTI-ELEMENT!" Shouted Discord. All the other elements lit up and dragged the others around Cloud. All of their combined elements shot an array of colors right at Discord. He exploded in a flash of light and color, and was gone, leaving only a pile of ash. The seven dropped to the ground and stared at one another. Then, all at once' they looked at at Cloud. "Cloud! You did it! You found your element!" Said Twilight. "I... I did? Oh I see..." Said Cloud. He then did something no pony expected. He laughed. He laughed aloud and was smiling ear to ear. Naturally Pinkie joined him, being the element of laughter. "What's so funny?" Asked Rarity. "Nothing, I'm just so glad I have friends like you! I just can't believe we did it!" Said Cloud, still smiling. "Look! On his flank!" Shout RainbowDash. On Clouds flank appeared a cutie mark. It was a grayish blue shield with a heart in the middle, tied with with two red ribbons. "I guess this means I'm normal now. So what do we do now?" Asked Cloud. "Let's go see Celestia!" Said Twilight. Author's Note Yaaaaaaaay! This is what I'm assuming answered some of your questions. It's been a rough ride until now and I'm glad that I got it cleaned up. Next part should be the last one, but I'm still going to write more stories after this. Hopefully I'll include a link in the last part with an image of Clouds cutie mark. By the way, if you want an image of Cloud, it's my profile picture. Thanks for reading so far!
The Presant of PastEverything was good in Cloud's life. Discord was gone, he had his cutie mark, and he had some great new friends. Although, there was one thing missing. He still had no idea of his own past. After they had destroyed Discord, Twilight took the group to see someone named Celestia. From the way they described her, she apparently was of great royalty. They had arrived at a large palace, confirming Cloud's prediction. "Celestia! We defeated Discord with the help of our friend!" Said Twilight. Celestia turned and looked at Cloud, with a gaze of astonishment. "Twilight, how did you manage to bring me this? How did you manage to keep him restrained?" Asked Celestia. Cloud looked around and saw that the royal guards were cringing and cowering at the sight of him. He wondered what he could have done for them to act like that. "Restrained? Princess I'd like to inform you we have no reason to keep our friend here restrained!" Said Rarity. "Of course you do! I'm trying not to be harsh, but there is no way this criminal was the one responsible for the defeating of our foe." Said Celestia. Cloud shuddered at the word criminal. "What in Equestria are you talking about?" Said Twilight. "Do you not know of the man you brought me? His name is Blazing Sword!" Said Celestia. The whole company drew back at the name. Everyone turned to look at Cloud, who sat there puzzled. "Princess, there's no way this guy is Blazing Sword! He's kind and he's nice to us all!" Said RainbowDash. "He is! He is the rebel who caused one of the greatest problems in all of Equestria! The Great Gold Heist!" Said Celestia. His heart dropped. His eyes widened. His memory returned at the sound of those words. The Great Gold Heist. It started with a man named Blazing Sword, a royal guard, with evil intentions. When he had the perfect chance, he snuck into the Equestrian gold stash and stole all the gold. He took all the gold and hid it, and when the guards came after it, Blade defended it with his life. He used a sword and sliced away at the guards, and even went as far as to throw large rocks at them. Eventually one guard by the name of Shining Armor knocked him to the ground and returned the gold. They tried to return him to the palace, but he managed to get away. He ran and remained hidden for a year, but on accident he fell of a large hill and hit his head on a boulder. A bunch of smaller rocks hit him and he lost his memory, just lying out in a field. That was him. That was... Him. As he came back from his memories Cloud ran from the palace crying. He never wanted to be seen again. He was a criminal. "Wait, Cloud! Come back!" Yelled Twilight. They ran after him and found him hiding in a dark corner, crying. "Cloud..." Said Fluttershy. "I'm not Cloud..." Said Cloud trembling, " I'm Blazing Sword. I deserve to be alone!" "What you did before doesn't matter! You just saved the world from pure chaos! You redeemed yourself and you're a new man!" Said Twilight. "D-D-Do you really think so?" Said Cloud. "I'm certain." Said Fluttershy, putting a hoof around his shoulder, "Everything will be fine.". Cloud looked her in the eye and found comfort there. He smiled at her an nodded his head. Just then Celestia appeared. "Blazing Swo... I mean, Cloud, what you have done for us greatly out balances what you have done wrong. It's ok to feel ashamed, but you have redeemed yourself and you will not receive punishment. As a matter of fact, you will receive celebration!" Said Celestia. Later that day there was a party to celebrate the defeating of Discord and the good deed of Cloud. Everyone was happy, and all were merry. There were lights and streamers everywhere (courtesy of Pinkie), and lots of cider and other drinks for all. While most were about partying on person sat away from the rest. Cloud. As much as he'd love to celebrate, he was very tired. He spied Fluttershy standing by a table, drinking. She looked at him and smiled. He smiled back, but only before he drifted off to sleep. Cloud was happy. Author's Note And we reached the end of the Pony with No Past! I'm glad it's all finished and I'm very happy with the turnout. Even though I started off poorly, I learned and came together to make this story. Thank you to anyone who has read this story! See you next story! Bye, from Cloud.
The crossing of pathsIt all started on a perfectly normal day. It was around mid-day in ponyville, not much was going on. PinkiePie was sitting in her shop making cupcakes when she saw a unicorn walk in. He was white with red hair and heavy looking clothes that covered most of his chest, back, and flank. For the most part he wasn't any different from any other customer, but Pinkie had never seen him before, which was unusual because she knew everyone in town. "Hello mister! What would you like?" Greeted Pinkie "Oh nothing I'm just browsing around, if you don't mind." "Ok then! Say, I haven't seen you around here before... What's your name?" "Honestly I'd rather not talk about my name, or where I'm from for that matter." "Come on you have to tell me! Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease? Said Pinkie excitedly "No" "Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease?" "No" "Pleasey weezey chocolate squeezey?" "No!" Pinkie fluttered her eyelashes in a cutsie kind of fashion. "Pretty please?" "ALRIGHT!" Shouted the man, "I don't know my name.... Or where I'm from." For a moment PinkiePie sat in silence until she said "You don't know your own name?" "No, sadly I don't. I might tell you more in the morning, but i need a place to stay for the night. Is there an inn i could stay in?" "No inn, but I have a friend who would be glad to let you stay with her!" Pinkie said. "Wait I'm not sure if I'm..." But befe he could finish he was whisked away to Twilight Sparkles house. Author's Note Ooooook. I'm writing this after I've finished the story and I'd like to say that this part is really bad. If you're kind enough I'd love for you to read till the end! Please note that this is my first time writing a fanfic and am new to the brony community entirely. I plan to finish this story, but I'm not sure when.
