3: I have bad grammar and I know this, so don’t get mad at me about it.

In the future Earth became overpopulated. One man decided to fix this and started a great war that has already killed half the population of the planet and ruined almost the entire planet. Soon Earth will not be inhabitable so a scientists/meteorologist named Mark created a portal that would take him to a different dimension so life might be better in so he can live in peace and get away from this war.

Once the he had obtained his supplies, he decided it was time to go into the portal. With such an important occasion the news decided to cover it heavily. With him carrying his backpack he ventured into the portal causing a huge flash to fill the room. Once he vanished with the flash smoke started coming from the machine and one of the panels started spewing fire. There was no doubt the machine had broken and the only man that could repair it had just been sent through the machine and had no way of getting back.

On the other side of the portal he was amazed to see that as far as he knew it had worked to plan. Since he was feeling very drained of energy from the trip and since he arrived at night in the new dimension he decided to set up camp and sleep until day when he can have time to focus on what he would do next.

Mark woke up early in the morning and decided to check the area for fresh food to eat once his supplies ran low he had packed a bow and some arrows for hunting for food so he grabbed it out of his pack and went into the forest. While it was still very dark Mark was able to see what looked like a small deer or horse in the distance sitting under a tree as if it was waiting for something. He quickly decided this would be an easy target and drew is bow. Even if he only scared it away he would be able to see what it looked like better since the tree stood in the middle of a clearing and the moonlight would allow for some visibility of his target. After taking a minute to aim he fired the arrow and hit his target. Then it appeared to sprout wings and fly low over the ground away and in the light it seemed that he had hit it in the front left leg but what was even more interesting was it was blue. he had just hit a blue Pegasus so he decided he must be seeing things so he went back to the camp to make breakfast.

After having a nice breakfast of some preserved fish Mark went off to explore the new world he was in. After some time Mark saw a couple more horses in the distance but decided he must be seeing things since he seemed to all be different colors. Soon he found a hill that overlooked what seemed to be an orchard, it was a large cluster of trees growing in rows and after searching the area from on the hill he saw a small farm and a barn sitting in the middle of the orchard. There was a small town farther away but the orchard was on the edge of the town so if he stays near the edge nobody would see him and if they did it would take too long for someone to run into the town to get help. Mark decided to grab some apples to keep his food rations high if the natives he have yet to find are hostile and he wont be able to come back.

After picking half the apples off a tree he began hearing the sounds of a tree being hit by something so he decided to investigate. The group quickly discovered a smallish orange horse kicking a tree and making the apples fall off. The horse quickly spotted them and ran away. Hoping to find something he ran after it only to find it ran into the town and not wanting to draw more attention decided to escape from the area and go back to camp. By the time he arrived it had gotten dark and he thought he might be chased so he quickly put dirt over the coals of the fire and went to bed to get ready if he had been followed he may need to fight once they arrived, but he had a strange feeling that everything would work out for the best.

Mark was awoken early by the sounds of horses. He knew his pursuers had arrived so he calmly exited his tent but to his surprise nobody was riding the horses. Four horses stood around his camp, all small like the one from before but these were white and in gold armor that had wings like the first one he saw but these ones had blades on them as a form of weaponry. One of the pegasi told him to surrender and follow them. Too shocked that a pegasi had just talked to him he just nodded and follow the one that had talked to him and the other three stayed in a circle around him.

After an hour and a half long march they reached the small farm on the edge of the town. Walking through the farm he saw the same horse as before and realized that it had called these guards on him. Once inside the town Mark saw tons of the horses all over the city, not surprisingly they all looked at him like some monster. Since it did not seem like humans existed here this was understandable and he decided to make a good impression and tried to stay positive and not seem threatening to the horse villagers.

Luckily the guards took him strait to a building that seemed to be a court, most likely to so they could think of something to do with him. They locked him into a cell for the rest of the day that was built for the horses so it was quite small for him. They did bring him food but only apples. Since his guard was curious about him Mark was able to have an enlightening discussion until noon when the guards switched and he got a new guard that was much better at not talking with the prisoner. From what he learned there were, in fact, no other humans ever in this world. The entire population was made of the horses but they preferred to be called “ponies” so to be polite Mark decided to call them that from now on. There were unicorns and pegasi but they were not too common in this town since it was made by the standard ponies. The rulers of the world were called princess Celestia and princess Luna. They seem to have the ability to raise the sun and moon every day and night. Princess Celestia was truly in charge and would be overseeing the trial of what to do with Mark. Soon after that the guards were changed and Mark spent the rest of the day failing to start conversations with the new guard.

Mark awoke to the guard that had talked to him knocking on the bars with his hoof. “time to wake up, your trial will be starting soon and you should be wide awake for it.” After a while another guard came in and opened the cell demanding Mark follow him. The court room was set up like a human court, there was a large crowd that had shown up to watch the event, there was a jury of 10 ponies including the orange one that was at the farm and a purple unicorn, from what he could tell they seemed to know each other. The judge was much larger than any of the other ponies. A little big bigger then any human world horse and possessing both wings and a horn Mark quickly realized this was the princess. He was ordered to sit in a chair right in front of the princess so she could see him easily.

“The court is now in session!” the princess shouted out to quite everyone. “We have gathered here today to decide the fate of the new comer to our lands. We will teach him our ways and allow him to live amongst us and offer his unique skill set like we would any of our own. So I hope you will accept him like anypony else you would meet. Do you accept this?”

Mark was too shocked to speak so he simply nodded in agreement. It would help to learn about the natives of this world and if they want to let him then he should just go along with it.

“Good, then I will have my faithful student Twilight teach you. This court is over.” Soon all the ponies had left except the purple unicorn. Once they were alone the unicorn walked up to him. “Hi, my name is Twilight Sparkle. Whats your name?” “I’m Mark. Not to sound rude but all my stuff is still at my camp and we can discuss a lot on the way there and back.” “OK, then we should get going.”

The walk there seemed much shorter this time since Mark had someone to talk to on the way. The entire time they walked and while packed Twilight taught him lots of things. First of all he learned that Twilight had 5 friends that he would get to meet and they would help him learn about ponykind as well but got hurt by a strange branch that fell out of a tree and hit her in the leg so she is in the hospital. Mark was curious about the strange marking on her flank and learned it was called a cutie mark. Ponies apparently get their cutie mark when they learn about their special talent.

On the way back Mark asked her were she lived and if he would be sleeping there tonight. Twilight said that she lived in a library in tree and he would have to sleep outside since her dragon named Spike was sleeping inside. “Oh no, I forgot about spike. He was sleeping when I left and since I thought I would be back home quickly I left him there.” Then they started to run to get back quickly and keeping up with a horse, even a small one, was tricky so Mark had to stop talking so he could breath.

After the long run they got to Twilight’s house and found Spike inside. After Twilight explained the situation she introduced them to each other. Once they had all eaten lunch Twilight and Mark decided to go meet Applejack since she was the first to see Mark.

When they had almost reached Sweet Apple Acres Mark noticed a sound of something hitting wood very hard. “What is that strange noise Twilight?” “Don’t worry its just Applejack getting the apples out of the trees. To do that she has to kick them really hard to make the apples fall out.”

Once they had walked around the orchard for a while they found Applejack. “Applejack, I would like you to meet our new friend Mark. “Hello Applejack, its nice to meet you in a more formal way then our first encounter.” “I agree. So how are you doing Mark?” “I am confused about everything but I think I'm getting used to it.” “That's nice, well listen I'm really busy. Applebloom, my sister, and her friends decided to try applebucking and would not let me or big Mac help them so when they stopped they had not done much and now we have to work extra to get this area done today.” Twilight nudged Mark “Come on we also need to get going to meet rarity, see you later Applejack.”

On the way to Rarity’s house they ran into Pinkie Pie. “Oh my gosh Twilight who is your new friend. More importantly... what is your new friend?” “Oh hi Pinkie this is Mark, he is not from around here.” “Coooooool, what do you do were your from?” “I am an engineer...” “So you drive trains?” “Ha ha no, I plan things and once I'm done with that I build them.” Pinkie stayed with them on the trip to Rarity’s house and explained that Rainbow Dash had gotten hurt by a tree branch that fell out a tree and stabbed into her leg. She also explained that Fluttershy was helping to make Rainbow Dash better and helped so much that Rainbow Dash will be out of the hospital tomorrow.

At Rarity’s house they found her in a great mood after she had discovered a new fashion line she could sell. “Hello Twilight, Pinkie, and. . .” rarity’s mouth just stopped when she noticed Mark so Twilight decided to break the ice. “Hello Rarity this is Mark, he is new to Equestria and we are supposed to make him feel welcome.” “Well, hello Mark, would you mind if I made you a new outfit? I would love a challenge and I have never made anything for anyone like you before.” “Sure Rarity I did not pack too many cloths anyway.” Once rarity had made some new cloths for Mark it was already very late so Twilight and Mark went back home to have a simple dinner of muffins that had been delivered by a grey pegasus.

In the morning mark woke up and got out of his tent to see twilight eating with two pegasi at a small table. One was yellow and the other was blue with a cast on their leg. “Hi Mark, I would like you to meet Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash I was just telling them about you.” as soon as the yellow one saw Mark she hid behind the table but the blue one was a little braver. “Hello, Im Rainbow Dash and that is Fluttershy. Sorry she is a bit of a scardie pony but she is nice. Oh and don’t worry about my leg I like flying more and this is a great reason to fly all day.” Fluttershy then simply got out from behind the table and shook hand/hoove with mark. “Hi Mark.” “Hello Fluttershy, its nice to meet you.” “Well now that you know everypony lets go get the rest of our group and find something fun to do!”

And with that Mark had some food and they all went to find an adventure.

1: I do not own My Little Ponies.

2: I have read “Order from Chaos” and yes I do realize I am copying it. I'm not stealing is idea I am honoring it. (if you have not read it then go to this link. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1869Q7dF-nrFqOztAhvWzkW9mNuEIzR20yQMpx_Rg0tM/edit?hl=en_US it is a very good story.)

3: I have bad grammar and I know this, so don’t get mad at me about it.

It has been a little over a week since Mark arrived and disaster had decided to follow him. One day a pink cloud showed up above the center of Ponyville. Everyone was helping fluttershy care for a sick animal that was almost back to perfect health when Mark pointed the cloud out to everyone. “Twilight, what kind of cloud is that? I have never see one like it the whole time I have been here.” “Oh no, Rainbow, go check it out. And please tell me it is not what I think it is.” after a quick flight Rainbow had gotten the cloud and brought it back to the group. “Sorry Twilight, its cotton candy. Discord is back.” As soon as the words had been said the cloud exploded and out of the explosion came discord.

“Hello everypony.” “Discord you cant stop us this time!” “Oh but you silly ponies don’t realize, I don’t want to be here. I had forgotten how good the stone was when I got out last time, so here are your elements, turn me back in a post I enjoy.” With a snap of his fingers all the ponies had their elements on. “Mark, stand back let us do this” Once mark had gotten back a few feet and Discord had gotten into a pose they all use the elements. However, the elements attacks just bounced off him as he started to laugh.

“Ha! While it that rock I learned a new trick. It will take more then that to stop me this time. Well you know the drill little ponies. Come visit me in Canterlot some time.” with a second snap of his fingers a flash of light blinded them all as Discord vanished.

Twilight instantly began devising a plan to stop discord. “OK everypony, we need to stop discord. We need to start moving now to get to him. I'm sorry Mark but you...” Twilight is speechless when she turns around to see Mark is now a pegasus. He is shocked to see himself transformed into a green pegasus with a spiked blue mane. “Um Twilight, what happened to me?”

Twilight was the first to talk after a long pause of surprise. “Mark, your a pegasus now! We have to fix this, come on lets go stop discord.” Rarity suddenly spoke up as Everypony got ready to run to Canterlot. “Wait Twilight, I think we should leave Mark here. He may be the cause of Discord getting loose and his new power.” “Or maybe Mark helping us will give us the power to stop Discord. If he is too strong for 6 of us to stop him then maybe 7 of us can do it.” Rainbow Dash suggested and had her idea added to by Twilight. “Rainbow has a point. We need Mark to stop him, and if we find out Mark is giving him power we can just send him back at any time. Now lets go” Quickly they all ran off in the direction of Canterlot.

On the way mark kept jumping into the air and flapping his wings trying to fly. After trying about 30 times Rainbow decided to help him. After a few minutes of this display being the only thing happening Pinkie got board. “Twilight why don't you just teleport us all to Canterlot?” “I would but using the elements took a lot out of me. It looks like I'm not the only one though.” as she said that Rainbow Dash’s wings gave out but she landed safely. “Hang on Mark just give me a second to rest my wings and we will pick up were we left off.” “Thanks for the help Rainbow but I think I got it.” Mark said as he jumped into the air and started flying awkwardly for a few seconds before crashing. “I guess not.” Mark said as him and everyone else started laughing.

Soon after they came across a giant ravine. “Ah apples! Its gon take forever to get around this here hole.” AppleJack proclaimed in anguish but got interrupted by Mark. “Wait its not too far across. AppleJack, Rainbow, Fluttershy and I can go get some wood and Twilight and Rarity can turn it into a bridge. Even if your too warn out for strong magic I'm sure you two together can move the wood around. Lets go!” So the unicorns started to get their magic ready while everyone else went to find some trees to use for a bridge.

Soon after they all came back with a bunch of wood and Mark was carrying all of his on his wings. “Mark why are you carrying the wood with your wings? Doesn't that hurt?” Twilight asked as they put all the wood in a pile. “Well Rainbow told me it would make my wings stronger so I could fly better” Mark explained as Rainbow started giggling. “OK, Rarity and I will have this done soon” Twilight said as her and Rarity used their magic to build the bridge with the wood.

As they continue their trip to Canterlot Mark was determined to learn to fly before they stopped Discord and he would change back. He saw a large hill and decided to go to the top of it and glide down, so he ran to the top of the hill while everyone else stayed on the path but when he got to the top he saw something terrible. He expected to see a large castle in the distance but instead saw a giant black orb. Quickly he decided runining would be faster then trying to fly down the hill and when he ran down to the group he told them what he saw. “Um, I know I'm new but I don't think Canterlot is suppose to be a giant black orb.” Twilight was confused by what he said and questioned him only to learn what he saw. “There was a giant black orb in the distance at the end of the road, you will be able to see it when we get around this next set of mountains.

Once they got around the mountains they saw what Mark was talking about. All of Canterlot was now inside a giant black orb. When they got to the edge of it Fluttershy decided to investigate it. She poked it with her hoof but quickly received a painful electric shock and backed up away from it. “H-How are we going to get past this?” Applejack went up to it and turned around. “Simple Fluttershy, we smash it.” This was followed by Applejack kicking the black shell so hard the shock sent her a few feet into the air.

“I have an idea” Mark spoke up. “Since it shocks us when we touch it maybe we can shock it back. Rainbow I need you to get some clouds. If you cant find any that are not transformed we will need to make our own electricity.” “Got it!” Rainbow told him flying off to try to find some clouds. “Twilight and Rarity can you two make electricity with your magic? The more we use the higher chance something will happen.” Rarity got upset with Mark fast. “Of coarse we can, but what if this electric shock only makes it worse? Did you think of that?” “Then we will be in the same place we are now. On the outside of an electric ball that is blocking our way and we need to find a solution to get past it.”

When Rainbow got back she gave a storm cloud to Fluttershy and Mark and kept one for herself while gloating. “Ya they were all gone but I used my amazingness to make some from the water in a little stream.” “Ok, thanks Rainbow, now everypony on the count of 3 we unleash the electricity and pinkie and Applejack will kick the dome as hard as they can. ONE! TWO! THREE!” mark yelled as his plan came into effect. When everything hit the orb at the same time A bunch of white cracks appeared in it and they spread across the entire surface in a few seconds and with a loud crack the entire orb flashed and vanished.

After a few seconds there was another much smaller flash of dark blue light in front of them. From the flash of light appeared princess Luna and 2 grey guards, one with a sword cutie mark and one with bubbles. Twilight thought Celestia would have shown up for this and asked Luna. “Princess Luna! But where is Celestia?” “Discord turned her into stone for revenge, he has become mad with his new power. Here let me use my magic to teleport to him, if we tried to walk he would find us and he is probably mad that you broke his shield.”

With a final flash of light they were all teleported into the main chamber of the castle. and saw a statue of Celestia and Discord waiting for them, laughing.“Oh look who it is, my favorite ponies in all of Equestia. And you brought your new friend. Too bad you still cant stop me.” Luna and the two guards charge past the group in an attempt to save Celestia but Discord snapped his fingers and they turned into statues as well.

Mark decided since everypony else had already tried to stop Discord it was his turn. He stepped forward but instead of trying to stop him Discord just smirked “And just what do you think you can do? Neither of the Alicorns could stop me and the elements did nothing.” “That's where your wrong Discord! Last time we used the elements their were only 6 of us but now I am here and we have 7.” A glow appeared around Mark’s neck while he was talking. On the way here I learned that if something seems impossible for just one pony all they need is a little help from their friends.” The glow got brighter as Discord realized something might be wrong. “Every time you tried to stop us we just had to work together and we overcame the challenge.” Suddenly the glow vanished and a necklace appeared around Mark’s neck with an yellow gem that looked like a light bulb. with 2 arch's coming off the top forming an M shape.“And together we can stop you!”

When Mark was done talking the Elements of Harmony appeared on their respective ponies as a glow came from each of the ponies in the room, including Mark. The glows lifted off each pony and merged into a large rainbow colored orb that flew across the room and smashed into Discord turning him to stone once again.

With Discord defeated Everything went back to normal, except Mark who was looked at himself just confusion to notice he had gained a cutie mark in the shape of the amulet around his neck. “Shouldn’t I be back to normal like everything else?” Celestia walked up to him and explained everything. “Mark, when discord returned it was because of the chaos caused by you coming here. This power made him stronger and required all 7 of you to stop him. While he did change you with his power you change yourself when you earned your cutie mark by stopping him. So your current form is caused by you and cant be reversed. I'm sorry” Mark got a smile and replied “Don’t be, I like it this way”

Twilight walked up to Celestia and told her what she had learned of friendship from this event. “Princess since I don't have my letter equipment I will present my lesson of friendship personally. “Today I learned it takes more to have a friendship. For a great friendship you must have a belief in your friends and that together you can achieve anything. You need to always remember to have faith in your friends because no matter how dark the situation seems your friends will always show you the light.”

Mark turned to the group with a smirk and then started running our of the room. “Race you all back to Ponyville!”

2: I have read “Order from Chaos” and yes I do realize I am copying it. I'm not stealing is idea I am honoring it. (if you have not read it then go to this link. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1869Q7dF-nrFqOztAhvWzkW9mNuEIzR20yQMpx_Rg0tM/edit?hl=en_US it is a very good story.)

Twilight was awoken very early by a sudden thud on her roof. She quickly got out of bed and ran outside in time to see Mark floating down from the top of the tree flapping his wings as fast as he could but still going down at a decent speed. “Mark what are you doing?” “Oh, good morning Twilight, sorry if I woke you. Rainbow said I should try to learn how to glide and when I started loosing altitude I saw all the leaves and thought it would be soft. . . and I forgot their is very hard wood under the leaves.” Soon Rainbow dash showed up to scold Mark a little. “There you are! You where supposed to land in the lake, what are you doing here?” “Well my wings started giving out and I had to make a crash landing. Don’t worry I think I can climb the rope back up to your house and we can try again.” Rainbow turned around to go back to her house and saw Pinkie Pie and Applejack with some baskets was coming and they obviously had something for them to do. “Actually Mark, Rarity needed Fluttershy and I to help her make a new Outfit for pegasi so you can stay here for now and I will be back later to continue the lessons.” And then she flew off in the direction of Rarity’s house as fast as she could.

Pinkie Pie got there with a smile and seemed very exited. “Hi Twilight! Where was Rainbow Dash going? Oh well it doesn't matter because we get to go harvest berries without her. Oh she may feel left out, we will have to pick extra and give some to her. OH I have a great idea we should mmmphh.” She was silenced by Apple Jack’s hoof covering her mouth. “What Pinkie is trying to say is that we are going to pick some berries to make some special muffins for some grey pegasus and we may need your help. You see, the bushes only grow in the ever free forest and we only want to make one trip. so we need all the ponies we can get.” Mark started backing up slowly “Well. . . If rarity needs some pegasus to help her then I think I should go.” Twilight stoped him with her magic when he started to turn around. “Nonsense! they are probably going to work on dresses and like Apple Jack said we need all the ponies we can get.”

Once everypony had 2 baskets on their backs they set out to the ever free forest to pick the berries. when they reached the forest Pinkie was able to find the berries quickly because of their special growing patter. “These are called cliff berries, not the most creative name but the name helps you find them. The roots grow up the side of a cliff and when they reach the top they grow a bush with the very sour berries. But we have to be careful around them because the roots on the edge of the cliff suck the water out of the dirt and make it very easy to collapse. And when it does the berries get spread all over the cliff! That sounds so fun.” While they were picking the berries they could hear some bushes rustling behind them. When they looked to see what it was they saw a manticore walking past. Mark was too afraid of what he saw to ask about it and started to run but his quick motions caused the cliff to start to crumble as Twilight yelled at him to stop. “Mark be careful! Its just a manticore they look evil but they are very tame and if you keep that up you will cause the cliff to calapse.” When Twilight was done Mark shoved his hooves down as hard as he could to stop himself but this was too much for the cliff and it crumbled and fell, bringing each of the ponies down with it.

Apple Jack was the first to climb out of the pile of dirt they had gotten trapped under and found pinkie’s tail sticking out of the dirt flailing around and pulled her out. “You alright sugar cube?” “That was soooo much fun! lets do it again.” Twilight floated out with her magic and Mark was across her back. “We are OK.” Mark climbed off Twilight and started looking around. “Sorry about that everypony. We should try to find our way back since this cliff is not stable enough for us to try to climb.”

As they started walking along the edge of the cliff Mark began to notice more and more scratches in the roots that were on the cliff’s side. “Um Pinkie Pie what are these strange markings in the roots?” AppleJack interrupted before Pinkie could answer. “Those look like timber wolf marks. They claw everything in their territory to show their dominance over them. And with these many claw slashes I would guess we are in an area with a very large pack of them so we should stay quite.” The silence was too much for Pinkie and after only a minute she was talking. “AppleJack, what is a timber wolf and why should we not talk? Talking is amazing and we should enjoy every moment by talking all the time.” “Hush Pinkie. The timber wolfs are like any normal wolf except they are part tree. This makes them live for a long time so they live in very large packs, luckily they fight amongst themselves every know and then to help keep the population in check but the group in this area looks long overdue for a fight and if they aint fightin themselves they will be looking for something to fight. And I reckon that 4 ponies like ourselves will be perfect for them to attack.”

After a while of walking the noticed the cliff started being made of stone then dirt and the roots of the bushes become less common. With a little bit more time they came across a cave in the cliff. As they walked past it Twilight stopped. “Alright we have been walking for a while, I’m hungry and my hoofs are sore I think we should take a break here.” “Ah come on Twi we should keep going” AppleJack said followed by her stomach growling. “Oh. . . well maybe this could be a good idea” So they all stopped and went into the cave, Twilight was able to use her magic to light up the entire cave and when they were satisfied it was clear of any dangers they decided to get some food. “We should send out two ponies to find some food. Any more will draw too much attention. So who wants to come with me?” AppleJack asked the group and got a quick response from Mark. “Well its my fault we are in this situation so I guess I will go with you.”

Once Apple Jack and Mark found a small path they decided to follow it to find some food. After only a few minutes they came across a cluster of apple trees. Since Mark could not knock the apples down he kept watch and put the apples that Apple Jack knocked down into the basket they brought with them. After they had filled the basket with apples they decided to go back to the cave. On the way back they noticed that they had forgotten to leave a way to indicate where they had gotten onto the path. Mark was the first to realise that they were not going to remember soon so he thought of a way to find Pinkie and Twilight. “Hey Apple Jack, I think we should try calling for them. Since they are in a cave if we yell the sound should echo and they should hear us. And when they yell back the echo of the cave will also help us find the direction they are in.” “Well Mark that may be a good idea but well have ta do it fast before something else out here hears us yelling and comes to investigate.

So they started yelling for Pinkie and Twilight and quickly could hear a response. Luckily it was who they wanted to hear and not something in the forest coming for them. As they ran through the forest in the direction of their friends voices they came across some fallen logs in the way. Apple Jack had no trouble jumping on top of one but it shook and she fell off as Mark tripped over another. As they both stood back up they noticed the logs did too. “Its a pack of timber wolfs Mark! RUN!” Apple Jack shouted as they ran as fast as they could back to the path. Mark looked behind him and saw the wolves were gaining on them so he started flapping his wings as fast as he could to try to use them to go faster.

When they got to the path Mark told Apple Jack to go one way and he would have them follow him. He yelled at the wolfs as ran down the path they had been on before. When he looked back he noticed his plan had worked but realized that he now had a whole pack of timber wolfs after him. He closed his eyes from the stress as he flapped his wings to go faster and ran as fast as he could. At one moment he felt everything was normal but the next he suddenly could not hear or feel his galloping. In a moment of terror in case he may have gone off a cliff he looked down with his eyes wide open to realize his fears. He was about 20 feet in the air and could not hear the wolfs behind him.

It took mark a few seconds before his fear faded and he realized he was not falling but was in fact he was slowly going up. He looked back at his wings to notice they were flapping in a different way then before. He felt that they were doing a motion that seemed much more natural to him. So he tried to flap them to slow down and it worked. He became so interested in his new ability that he forgot about the others. In less then a minute he could hear Apple Jack shouting and he started to point himself at the sound and flap quickly.

Apple Jack was surrounded by the timber wolfs and had kicked one and knocked it down but it was getting back up and she saw it was going to attack again. She turned around at the sound of two wolves coming at her. As soon as she turned around she saw the two wolves get hit by a green blur from the sky the force of the object’s impact made them hid another wolf and crash into a tree. After a second Mark climbed out of the pile of tree bark and the wolfs. “You OK Apple Jack?” Mark asked with a grunt as he walked over to her. “I'm fine, looks like you scared away the wolfs and learned a new trick.” Apple Jack said this as the wolfs Mark had hit got up and ran after the rest of the pack scared by what had just happened.

Mark had seen the smoke coming from the cave and used it to find Twilight and Pinkie. The whole way to them Mark was flying in celebration. When they got to the cave, and after they had a small celebration, Twilight came up with a plan for Mark to fly into the air to look for the way out of the forest. He was able to look around and once he saw Ponyville he looked around the forest and saw a path that would lead them out of the Everfree forest. The way out was simple. Mark picked enough of the berries Pinkie needed to fill the order as an apology for the whole thing.

The entire way back they noticed a timber wolf watching them every now and then but as soon as they saw Mark they started to back away. Mark was too busy apologising to notice any of the wolfs and was not satisfied that he was forgiven until They got out of the forest. When they did get out it had gotten rather late and they all decided to go have some dinner and go home. Pinkie gave Mark some bits for his help and told him that she had fun no mater how bad it got out in the forest.

Rainbow Dash was surprised to see Mark show up at her house by flying and not using the rope she set up. While Mark described what happened Twilight was making her own description of the events. “Spike take a letter. Dear Princess Celestia, today I learned that when your friends have an idea or an adventure they want you to help them with you should always help them. Because no mater what you do as long as you do it with a friend the outcome can only be good.

3: I have bad grammar and I know this, so don’t get mad at me about it.

Mark walked out of the building with a special swagger in his step. He had a decent sized cloth bag in his mouth and gave it one last shake to hear the sound before flying home. He got a smile so big the bag almost dropped out of his mouth as he could hear the sound of his first payment after working as a janitor for the local mini golf franchise. It was not the best job in the world but at least had some money to start buying things.

When he got back to Rainbow’s to go to sleep. He found a note on the door. “Dear Mark, Twilight wanted us to all come over for a sleepover, see you there.” On the way over Mark decided he would tell everypony about how he is planning to try to get his own house in case they know of any good houses that are for sale and are cheap. When Mark got there he saw Spike waving for him from the bedroom so he went and landed on the balcony. “Mark you got here are the worst possible time.” “Oh no, is something wrong?” “Nothing is wrong but they are having make overs and I was hardly able to get out of there. And the schedule is for truth or dare next. But we can hang out here for now and if you want I can tell them that you stopped by and had to go some were.” “Ha thanks Spike. But I think I can deal with truth or dare.”

Mark waited a minute and then went downstairs into the library. Mark was very easily noticed by everypony in the library when he saw AppleJack’s hair was as curled as Rarity’s and began to laugh loudly. “Ah shoot, I didn't know he was gonna be here. Mark promise me you wont tell anypony about this.” “Sure thing. Oh, I got some news for all of you. I have decided I am going to get my own house when I get the money and was wondering if any of you knew of any good retail companies.” Twilight raised her hoof to silence him. “Mark at my sleep overs we have rules. One of them is that we don’t talk about outside things while here.,It ruins the fun. And it says so in the book.” She used her magic to get a book from behind her and placed in open in front of her. “Now the rules say that since you are the newest person here its your turn to ask someone a truth or dare.” Once he got in the circle they had made in the middle of the room he found who he would ask.

“Fluttershy, truth or dare.” “Dare.” “Kick me in the side as hard as you can.” Fluttershy squeaked as she stood up startled. Mark also got up and laughed. As Fluttershy walked around the circle everyone was watching her and chuckling. Mark thought they were laughing about how she is so small and wont do much but when she got over to him she turned around and knocked him to the floor with her hind legs. This caused Pinkie to fall on her back as well before standing up and helping Mark stand after the wind was knocked out of him. “HA, Mark you should have seen yourself you where all “Oh, she is not strong” and we were all laughing because we knew you where wrong.”

The entire rest of the night went about the same way. Most of the ponies would ask Mark for truths or dares because he was the newest to the group. Twilight was the only one to keep this from happening every time when she set up a rule that would make it so they cant ask someone who was just asked. However she got all her questions from the book so none of them were very interesting and she tended to get skipped for this. But after a while she was able to get a turn and decided to search the book for something interesting to get the most out of her turn. She turned the page and saw an advanced section. “Mark, truth or dare?” “I will have to go with truth.” “Ok, of everypony here who would you like to go on a date with?” “I. . . um. . . QUIT!” Before anyone in the room could react Mark had flown up the stairs and out the way he came in. All that was left was a dust cloud and a two small green lines that had come off the tip of his wings as he flew as fast as he could back to Rainbow’s house. Everyone that was still at Twilight’s took this as a good sign that its time for ghost stories and then to go to sleep.

Mark woke to the sound of somepony knocking on the door. He opened the door half asleep. “Hi Rainbow Dash, sorry about last night.” “Rainbow? I'm not Rainbow Dash I'm Derpy. I got a letter for you, And some flowers.” “Ok.” Mark took the letters and went back to the guest bedroom and went over the note carefully.

Dear Mark,

Yesterday at the sleepover you should not have left, we had lots of fun and I would have enjoyed it more if you had stayed. I think you should have just told us the answer to the truth and I think leaving is counted as cheating. Luckily for me I know you would have chosen me if you had not been so embarrassed. Also if you want you can stay with me until you find your own house.

From,
Your friend.

“This is not good.” Mark thought to himself the third time reading the message. Mark had looked for a return address to find out who it was from but could not find anything to help solve this puzzle. He felt he had been taking up space in Rainbow’s house for too long and which ever of his friends where offering this he would really like to have a change of scenery so he flew out the front door. Flying over ponyville helped him clear his head and as he did he realized he cant think right on an empty stomach so he looked around and saw a diner and went to get some food.

Mark walked into the small diner and sat at one of the open tables. After a few moments a blue male earth pony walked up to him. He had a small and shaggy brown main and a small amount of brown haired stubble under his chin. Surprisingly he had what looked like a small white mouse for a cutie mark. “Hello, I’ve never seen you around here. I’m Stewart, Whats your name?” “*sigh* I’m Mark, Is this your diner?” “Yep! So what can I get for you?” “Just give me some soup”
Mark laid his face on the table until he heard Stewart return. “You seem bothered by something, whats wrong?” Mark raised his head and saw Stewart lower the bowl of soup from his head to the table. “I’m not really sure. I went to a slumber party last night with my new friends and in truth or dare I got asked who I like most. I didn’t know what to do and panicked. I flew away and when I woke up I had a letter from one of them asking me to live with them. I'm already living with one and the letter did not say who it was from.” “And now you want to find out who?” “Exactly but It’s so strange.” “Well make it simple, just narrow it down and ask the most likely person if they sent the letter. Then you won’t get worried if your wrong. If you were me, I would eliminate the one your already living with since the letter would be unnecessary.” “Alright one down five to go.” “Well that's a lot to narrow on this sort of thing but I would go to the person who’s house it was.” “Alright, I will try that.” Mark finished his soup and paid a little extra for the advice and went on his way.

Mark flew to Twilight’s house first because if we was wrong he would still have a good excuse for coming over and Stewart’s advice aided in the choice. He walked into the library to find Twilight reading a book and Spike playing with some cards. Twilight heard the door when Mark closed it. “Oh, I didn’t expect to see you here what did you need?” “I got a strange note in the mail today and I was wondering if it had been sent from you. I thought you would be more likely to write a note then anypony else in our group.” “Well you obviously did not think enough about who sent it. If I had sent a note then I would just have spike send and It would arrive must faster.” “Oh, I thought Spike’s messages only went to the princess. Well I would like to stay but I need to find who sent this letter so I will be back later, see ya.” Mark walked out of the library a little embarrassed.

“Well that was incredibly awkward. Well at least It was quick and I can solve this as soon as possible. Next I think would be Rarity, she seems like the kind of mare to write a letter like that and she would have to use the mail because she would be busy with her work.” Mark thought out loud to himself as he walked to Rarity’s fashion studio. “If its not her I just hope this goes as quick as it was at Twilight’s.

When Mark got to Rarity’s, she seemed very interested for him to be there. “Mark just who I needed to see, well just the gender I needed at least. I’m working on a new design to expand my market to stallions but so far I can’t think of a single one and since you are a guy I was hoping you could help. So please tell me what kind of outfit you would wear.” “Oh, umm, back where I came from we had leather jackets. Most guys liked those.” “Leather?” “Ah, I guess you wouldn’t have that here. Can you use your magic to make a substance similar to skin but have it dried out?” “Well of course darling but why in Equestira would I do that?” “Leather makes a unique substance that has an interesting feel and having the skin of another animal around you makes you feel like you have their strength.”

After a couple tries Rarity finally got it right but it took a few hours. Then it took a while longer for her to shape it correctly and it actually came out pretty well for a new material for her to use. When Mark was finally able to leave he noticed it was already mid afternoon. He would have to hurry to get this all over with before night fall. Next he decided would be Pinkie Pie since she is the only one who is in town.

Mark went to Sugar Cube Corner and found Pinkie standing behind the counter looking very board. “MARK! your here, the cakes are taking care of a baby emergency and they needed me to help out here a little. So what do you need?” Mark decided that with Pinkie it would be harder to explain because she is a little crazy and decided to just show her the note and explain its origins. “WOW, you got a love letter. That's so super duper amazingly cool. And what a coincidence too, I saw Fluttershy with some love birds flying around her. Those are only used to show somepony that you love them. OH MY GOSH! What if Fluttershy sent the letter, that would be fantastically super duper amazingly cool.” “Thanks for the help Pinkie I got to go.”

Mark flew to Fluttershy’s cottage and found her just like Pinkie had described. She was surrounded by small pink birds that had a body that looked like a half of a heart and their tail looked like the other half. There were at least 20 of them and Fluttershy seemed to be working hard to get them calmed down and have them land on a little stand for them. “Hi Fluttershy, need any help?” “Oh Mark thank goodness, I was going to help these love birds practice their singing but I cant get them to calm down at all and they might hurt themselves flying around like that.” “Let me see what I can do.” As soon as Mark got near all the birds swarmed him and started singing. “Fluttershy help me, get them off” “Oh Mark, your in love aren't you? The birds only react that way when they find someone that is in love.” “I don’t know if I am or not. How do I get them off?!” “They will only stop when you find your love, other then that you will have to lease them.”

“Well I can’t do much with these things following me!” Mark shouted as he flew away. He flew away from Fluttershy’s cottage with the love birds following him very close. Surprisingly they had great flight skills and kept up with him as he flew around obstacles and while he flew as fast as he could. After he had tried everything he could think of to loose these annoying birds he saw Rainbow Dash’s house. Luckily she usually kept the door open and he was able to fly inside and close the door. That quick flying made him collapse on the floor to catch his breath. This was very short lived as he heard the door open and he got up and turned around to see Rainbow Dash walk in with the love birds following her.

“So, It looks like you got my note.” “This note came from you?” “Tricked you didn’t I? I made it to seem like it came from somepony else, hope that did not cause you any problems. Anyway I’m guessing these love birds mean you accept my offer.” Mark laid his neck across Rainbow Dash’s mane and responded in a whisper. “Well I am already living here. . .but if I wasn’t my answer would still be the same. Of course I will Rainbow Dash. For you, I would do anything.”

3: I have bad grammar and I know this, so don’t get mad at me about it.

Mark decided to go for a quick flight early in the morning but a few moments after leaving his home he noticed Stewart trying to get his attention from on the ground. After a little of an uneasy landing Mark realized Stewart was near the verge of tears. “You seem upset Stewart, whats wrong. I’m sure I can help.” “I. . . was taking a picnic with Cheddar and . . . something attacked us. I did not see what it was and I ran as fast as I could. Cheddar was in the picnic basket so when I got away I looked in it but he was not there. I can’t go back their alone so I decided to get help and I was on my way to one of their houses when I saw you and thought be might be able to help too.” “Of course I’ll help lets go get this other pony and see if they will come with us.”

On the way to the other pony's house Stewart explained a little more about what happened. He saw a shadow and before he could see what was causing it he heard a roar and a large gray object smashed a tree very close to him. He grabbed the picnic basket and ran away from the place he called “Froggy Bottom Bog.” When they reached the house it looked like any other house in ponyville except for a few burned spots on the walls. The owner was a red male unicorn named Roast, he had a slightly curved horn and a blue fire for a cutie mark. He was easily convinced to help out when he heard that something had attacked Stewart but he seemed more interested in finding out what it was then helping save Chedder.

On the way into the bog they started seeing more and more bubbles of swamp gas flouting about. Roast never seemed to miss a chance to make the flamable bubbles burst and cause a rather bright flash and some even made them all need to look away for a second and during one of these flashes Mark almost fell over a log but caught himself with some wild flapping of his wings and he smacked Stewart on acsident a little pushing him into Roast and causing him to get knocked into the dirt. “Darn Mark, be careful your wings really hurt.” “Sorry but SOMEPONY blinded me and I tripped.” “WELL MAYBE YOU SHOULD BOTH JUST...” suddenly there was a faint cracking noise that distracted them all from the little argument and caused their attention to be pulling away just in time for them to see something grey over the treeline that went down below the row of trees and brought two trees down with it as it vanished from sight.

After a few moments of silence Stewart was the first to talk. “Wha. . . what was that?” “Thats the hydra of froggy bottom bog! Come on lets go get it.” Roast ran off leaving Mark and Stewart to chase after him to ask what he was talking about. After almost getting lost in the woods they found their way to the swamp but no signs of the hydra Roast talked about. “Ah, it got away.” “Was that the thing that scared off Stewart?. . .” “And made me loose Chedder?” “Yes, that was the hydra of froggy bottom bog.” Roast’s eyes started to water a little as he continued. “When I was younger my little sister went out here to play with her friends. A few hours later they came back but she was not with them. They explained that a hydra attacked them and she cast a fire ball at it and hardly did anything. But they say that when it hit the hydra she got her cutie mark, they say it was a beautiful shield with a fire on it for defending her friends. After that she told them to run away and they did. She never did come back home. So I have devoted my life to practicing fire magic so one day I could come here and give it a burn so bad it will never forget what it did to my sister!”

After a long silence that seemed to manifest in a physical form and will itself onto every living creature in the bog the sound of a large rush of water and a devastating roar was heard has the hydra revealed itself to the group. Any attempts the hydra was making to ambush went terribly wrong since Roach was in an enraged state that seemed to act as fuel for a massive fireball as his horn lit on fire and the flames grew until they where a ball almost the size of his head and he screamed back at the hydra and launched the fire ball at one of the heads. The force of the impact forced the head back and caused it to make a splash as it tried to regain its bearings and join the other two heads that had taken the opportunity to swoop down and cause all three of the ponies to have to scatter back into the woods.

“Darn it Roast! Your too hot headed to realized it has more then one head. We need to stop it or it will kill us. You made it so mad its going to keep chasing us until it or us is beaten. And Stewart I’m sorry but for now we have to try to stay alive and we will have to worry about finding Cheddar when that's done. Hey maybe the fight will help him find us.” “Look I’m sorry, I’ve spent my life getting ready for this and it ends now.” “Guys stop fighting that thing is evil and needs to be stopped before it hurts more ponies.” “OK, now follow me I have a plan. Roast launch some more fire balls at it that might slow it down and Stewart keep the path clear for him.”

After running through the forest and being followed by the hydra that destroyed every tree and bush that got in the way they located a good place for a fight. They stopped in the middle of a field and all turned around to face the monster that came staggering towards them with two of its heads enraged and the third still getting over the massive fire ball Roast had hit it with. “Alright Roast now send another fire all at one of the other two heads.” “I can’t a spell that big takes a lot out of me. Using it once and all this running I can’t do it again.” “Alright so its up to me.” “Mark what about me? It took Cheddar from me and I want to get it back.” “No way if you got close enough to attack it it would eat you. And what kind of a friend would I be to let that happen”

Mark flew as fast as he could straight for the hydra and colided head on with the edge of the right head and his wing smashed into the neck of the center head. The crash worked enough to knock the wind out of both Mark and the hydra but it did much more to Mark that it did to the hydra. Mark slammed his eyes shut from the pain of his wing smashing into the hydra’s neck but he never felt himself hit the ground and when he opened his eyes he was on Stewart’s back. “Whats going on? Did we win?” “Mark your up! You took out one of the heads but the middle head got really mad when you broke your wing on it. “Broke? No I smashed into it with my wing when I was trying to take down the other head. I smacked it like thi OW!” “Told you it was broken. You got knocked out by it and we grabbed you while it was distracted and ran. We got a good lead on it but its catching up with only one head to direct it.” “I think I can run let me down here.”

As Mark climbed down he looked around but could not see Roast until a few moments later he came through the woods with smoke coming up behind it. “Oh hey Mark your up. Look we had to slow it down and I thought if it can’t see it can’t attack us. So I shot some fire balls at the trees and now the smoke will go up above the trees and blind it and we can stay below the trees and can see. See your not the only smart one here.” “Good plan but you forgot fire spreads and we are in the forest that is on fire!” “Oh good point. Don’t worry I’m sure we can get away from the hydra and the fire if we go up that hill over there. It looks like we can jump to the hill next to it if we just jump.” “You two go Its my turn to try to hit it.” “Stewart that's madness we need to keep moving.” “I said GO! You both slowed it down and now its my turn to stop it I will catch up don’t worry.” “Roast you go I'm staying with Stewart. When you get to the hill start getting a big fire ball ready we are going to need it. Stewart you wouldn’t leave me so I’m not leaving you.”

The hydra quickly closed onto Mark and Stewart and let out a terrifying roar with the only head that was not injured. “Stewart go kicks one of the hydra's legs under it I will make a distraction.” “Alright.” Mark ran to the left of the hydra flapping his good wing as much as he could to get the hydra's attention before Stewart got up close and kicked one of the legs on the right side as hard as he could. The hydra began to fall to the ground but it smacked its good head into the ground to gain stability and got back up stunned from what it had just done it had given time for Mark and Stewart to start running up to Roast for the next part of the trap.

After a minute of waiting the hydra had caught up to them and it's injured heads had started perking back up getting ready for a final battle with the bothersome meal that had gotten away from it. “INCOMING!” Roast yelled as soon as he saw the hydra in his range and he let loose a massive fire ball that went a little off target and slammed into the lower left side of the hydra bringing it to the ground with all three heads starting to snap wildly at anything it could find in range of it's jaws.

Jumping form his perch on a large stone he smacked into one of the already injured heads followed by Mark slamming at full speed into another leaving the final head giving a stare that could almost relay the pure anger inside it from the fight into Stewart who just stared back at the final head of the hydra as he realized this monstrous beast lacked a simple thing most creatures took for as a usual part of life: Mercy. “If we left it here it would just attack the next ponies that came into the swamp and they may not be strong enough to stop it like us.” Stewart muttered as the hydra continued to snap wildly at him. “It can't show mercy and as evil at it seems neither should we.” Roast spoke up as we walked over to Stewart. “It's entire existence is to consume anything that gets close to it. Even when its beaten it does not give up its attack. Stewart, is all yours.” Mark added as he joined the others. “If it had any kindness or love this woulds not be necessary.” Stewart said as he walked up, turned around, and gave the hardest kick he could muster to the open jaws of the hydra.

As the group walked back to Ponyville they stayed completely silent and seemed to bring that silence with them through the swamp. They did not know if it had been knocked out or killed on the spot. Either way it had been stopped and would not try to attack another pony for a long time. Their silence was only broken when they all got out of the forest and could see the brightly colored town in the distance as they all spoke in unison. “The things that have to be done are always the hardest.”

At the edge of town they saw Fluttershy and Rarity playing with something small on the ground and once the group got closer they could see it was a small white mouse. “Cheddar!” Stewart let out as he ran up to meet the mouse that had come to his call. “Oh this is your mouse? He came out of the bog earlier and I thought his owner would come by so Rarity and I thought we would comfort him until he came out.” Fluttershy said looking at the joy on Stewart's face as his mouse climbed up his leg and hid in his mane.

“We saved Ponyville from a monster and saved the noble mouse. A good day but I am tired, see you guys later.” Roast said as he walked to his house. “I will go too. I need to get my wing checked out.” Mark chimed in as he also departed the scene. All that was left was a very happy Stewart, Cheddar and the mares who soon departed to their own homes leaving two friends to enjoy their perfect reunion.
