This is a story about me. I face many challenges and even meet new ponies along the way.

I am a simple mare. Yes, I was born in Canterlot, and yes I was raised *somewhere else*, but that doesn't mean I have to be like them. I go on my first journey alone, facing fears,happiness, love, tragedy, and adventure. This is my story.

This will be a progressing story, meaning it may be a long one so I hope you enjoy!

The Beginning

"Viola?"
"Viola!" She screamed as if she were in agony. As she ran to my side I could faintly hear her.
"No."
***

I shot up in a cold sweat in the hospital, and I saw a familiar face.
"P-Princess Luna, your highness, what're you doing here?"
"Well, your mother was here, and-"
"Wait, she was here!?"
"Yes, and she told me to watch over you until she had returned. So, in the meantime, would you mind telling me just exactly what happened?"
"Like, beginning to end?"
"Yes like beginning to end."

I just let out a small sigh. "No problem."
***

I was visiting in Canterlot looking for Octavia and Vinyl Scratch (or DJ Pon-3, whichever you prefer). They were like an extended family to me. But, as hard as I had searched, they were nowhere in sight. As I kept wandering through town, I was greeted by a mailpony.
"Letter for Vee-ola?"
"It's Viola."
"My apologies."

I looked at the envelope and saw it was specifically from you.
"Oh, come on! Why don't these things ever open." After a minute or so, I finally got it open.

'Dear Viola,
There is an emergency at the castle. We need you here right away. Please hurry!

Princess Luna'

I had to read it a couple of times, just so I knew what exactly it was that I was reading.
"Oh no."

I flew as fast as I could to the castle.
"Luna! You needed to see me?"
"Yes. While my sister is away, I will be ruling over Equestria."
"Okay..."
"There is to be a celebration! We need Octavia and Vinyl Scratch, but they are missing."
"What? No, they can't be missing!"
"When was the last time that you have seen them, or have talked to them?"

There were way too many things going on in my mind.
"I-I can't remember."
"Viola. Please, if you know you must tell us."
"I-I can't remember! Usually I can, but I just can't!"

And with that, I bolted out of the castle. But you probably already remember that. Anyways, when I flew out, I could feel myself crying. I couldn't believe it, but I was.
"No! Viola Strings does not cry!"

That was something I probably shouldn't have said, because it was getting worse. I found a cloud I could rest on before I went back. Very faintly, I could hear somepony yelling something I couldn't make out, until it hit me. Or he hit me I should say.
"LOOK OUT!"

Next thing I knew I was tackled onto the cloud.
"Ouch. Why don't you watch where you-"

I trailed off when I saw who had hit me. It was a stallion, a rather cute one I might add. He was pretty tall, he had bright, emerald green eyes, a light gray almost white coat, and a windswept crimson mane and tail. After I was done gawking at him, I could see he was trying to help me.
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah, sure! I'm fine."
"Uh, I'm Blaze Streak by the way."
"Uh, I-I'm, heh heh, I'm-"

He put his hoof to my lips.
"I need to get going but I know I'll see you later."
"You, what?"
"See ya tomorrow blue eyes."

He have me a wink and flew off.

My half of a day with him

"Hello?"
"Hey! Wake up!"
"C'mon blue eyes, you can't sleep forever."

When I heard that my eyes shot open.
"Hey there sleepyhead."
"How did you-"
"That's not important. Now, would you tell me your name, or am I just going to have to keep calling you blue eyes?"
"It's Viola, Viola Strings."
"Cool name! Do you play the viola?"
"Sometimes, but I actually got my name for my voice."

He had a puzzled on his face, so I explained how I got my name and cutie mark, and he told me how he got his.
"So, how exactly did you find me?"
"Well, I was flying around and just so happened to see you, so I thought that I would drop by."
"Oh, okay. That makes perfect sense."
"Your not from here are you? I can tell by your eyes."
"Well. No not exactly. I-"
"Where are you from then? Do you have different laws? Different customs?"
"Woah! Calm down. I was born in Canterlot, but when we were under the threat of Discord a second time, I was taken to the Crystal Empire and was raised there."
"Wait, so you're a-"
"Crystal pony, yes."
"That. Is. Totally awesome! Why'd you leave?"
"Well one, King Sombra tried to enslave everypony, and two- nope there's just that one reason."
"Wow that's crazy."
"Yup. Pretty intense."
"So, how fast can you fly?"
"Well I've never really measured my wing power, so I really don't know."
"Care for a race?"
"Depends, what're the stakes?"
"Hm... Loser gives the winner something totally unexpected. Unlike anything they've ever experienced."
"Deal."

Once we found a suitable race track, we stood at the starting line. We flared our wings, and in unison we both said:
"3, 2, 1, GO!"

I bolted so fast, I could feel static on my coat. I looked behind me as best I could and saw him approaching me. I tried different maneuvers to try and get him off coarse. He was some how gaining momentum. I tried being more agile while flapping my wings as hard and as fast as I could. After doing this, I could hear crackling along with static. Right on the surface of my hooves and the underside of my body, I could see lightning form. Before I knew it, I passed the finish line. After a minute or two, Blaze finally made it.
"Took you long enough."
"Hey! That's not fair!"
"What wasn't fair, you being a sore loser?"
"No! You're a mare, you shouldn't have beaten me!"
"What's that have to do with anything!? From what I see, your just mad because you lost point blank."
"No, it's nothing like that! I'm just not used to losing that's all."
"Well if your going to hang around me, your gonna have to learn."
"Haha, so funny I forgot to laugh."
"I think you just did."

I could tell that he was getting a little frustrated. He knew he ruined his own insult.
"Tell you what, you don't even have to go through with our little bet, okay?"
"No. I never back out of a bet, ever! I mean, if I were to back out, I would be the laughing stock of Equestria!"
"Okay, now your just exaggerating."
"Yeah well, it could happen."
"Okay, sure. Now what're you gonna do that's so unexpec-"

He pressed his lips against mine, and I could feel a new wave of electricity throughout my body.
