The town had all had quite a shock when the loud thud had echoed around the houses. Twilight and Applejack had been looking for a book titled Journey to the core of the Apple when it had happened, they exchanged confused looks,

“Discord?” Applejack asked,

“No,” Twilight replied, still confused, “he’s in Manehatten.”

“Then who…” before she could finish Rainbow Dash burst in, panting,

“N-New…pony.” Twilight exchanged another puzzled look with Applejack,

“Well,” Applejack shrugged, “better go meet them.”

The three of them headed out of Twilight’s home and were immediately taken back by the large group that had gathered,

“Hey!” Rainbow Dash flew above everyone, “Let him breath!” The crowed parted to show the pony. He had an orange mane and a raspberry red body, he looked up at Rainbow Dash,

“T-Thank you” He remarked with a soft voice before collapsing.

The crowd quickly gathered around again but Rainbow Dash managed to clear them fairly quickly, Twilight and Applejack approached the now unconscious pony,

“Um, hello? Are you okay?” Twilight circled around him, she looked up at Rainbow Dash, “How did he get here?” She shrugged,

“I’m not sure, I heard a thud so I presume he fell,” she looked up and then at the pony, “and he has wings so he could be from Cloudsdale.”

“But look,” Applejack crouched by his head, “he has a horn as well.” They exchanged worried looks,

“He’s a Alicorn?!” Twilight started pacing, “I-If he’s an Alicorn…no, what am I saying, he can’t be. I-I’ll write a letter to Princess Celestia.” And with that she rushed off back inside her house, Applejack and Rainbow Dash watched her go in,

“Well,” exclaimed Rainbow Dash, “Should we take him to Fluttershy? I’m sure she can help.” Applejack nodded,

“That’s probably the best idea.” They picked up the unconscious Alicorn and headed towards the cottage

Fluttershy was outside when they arrived, she was trying to get an injured squirrel from a tree,

“Now now Mr Squirrel, I can’t help you when you’re up a tree can I?”

“Hey Fluttershy!” She squealed and fell to the ground, covering her eyes, the squirrel jumping onto her head, “Oh, sorry.” Applejack took hold of the Alicorn while Rainbow Dash helped Fluttershy up,

“O-Oh hello, I was just trying to get this squirrel down, his tail is injured.” She petted the squirrel’s head softly,

“Well, that’s mighty good of you sugar cube, could you help us once you've finished?” Applejack indicated towards the pony she was holding,

“Oh my, an Alicorn, what happened to her?” she beckoned them inside,

“Him, and we’re not too sure.”

“Him? A male Alicorn?” She placed the squirrel in a small bed and looked at the Alicorn closer, “Hm, he seems to of had bad tumble, did he fall from Cloudsdale?” she looked at Rainbow Dash who shrugged,

“We can’t tell, it seems like the most likely explaination.”

“Well,” Fluttershy indicated towards a large bed, “could you just place him down here.” She went to her cupboard and started getting some food supplies out. Applejack placed him down gently on the bed, careful not to lay him on his wings,

“So, what do you think he’s here for?” Applejack asked,

“I’m not sure,” Rainbow Dash replied, “maybe he’s here to collect Twi?” Fluttershy sat by the Alicorn and started to try and feed him,

“I don’t know,” Applejack stated, “I've never seen a male Alicorn before, maybe he’s not known to Princess Celestia.”

“Not known? You think Princess Celestia doesn't know about him?”

“Well, it’s possible that she…”

“Princess Celestia knows everything that happens in the whole of Equestria. I’m sure something this big won’t slip by her.”

“Well, you never know Rainbow.” Applejack looked at the Alicorn, “Hey Fluuttershy, want us to wait outside?” Fluttershy nodded,

“I’m sure when he wakes up he won’t want a crowd.” They both nodded back and when outside, their voices could be heard arguing about the Alicorn outside.

While Fluttershy when about her cottage getting food and some water for when the Alicorn awoke, Rainbow Dash and Applejack were pacing around in the garden,

“I think he’s the only male Alicorn, how could Celestia not know about him.”

“I don’t know, but if she did then surely she would have sent someone to collect him.”

“Well, maybe she sent him herself, you know, to teach him about friendship.”

“Wait just a second, are you suggesting that this Alicorn, who is most likely a prince of some kind, needs to learn about friendship?”

“It’s a possibility isn't it?” Rainbow Dash smirked,

“W-Well, I guess it is.” Applejack scratched her head, “I still don’t understand though.” At that moment Twilight, Pinkie Pie and Rarity came through the gate,

“Hey guys!” Twilight smiled, she seemed to have calmed down a lot since the first time she saw the Alicorn,

“Where is he? I need to welcome him!” Pinkie Pie was bouncing up and down,

“He’s inside, Fluttershy is trying to wake him up.” Applejack point to the cottage,

“Wake him up?” Pinkie Pie giggled, “Was he tired from his fall?”

“Now now Pinkie Pie,” Rarity remarked “we don’t joke about other ponies misfortune,” she smiled a little “especially a prince!”

“Now, we don’t know for sure if he is a prince Rarity.” Applejack laughed a little,

“But he’s an Alicorn, he must be a Prince.”

“It is strange I admit,” said Twilight, “I've never heard of a male Alicorn before, I've sent my letter to Celestia but she’s away at the moment so I won’t get a reply yet.” They all sat down, as they did however, Fluttershy burst out,

“Q-Quick…I've found something.” She rushed back in, the others following close behind,

“What is it sugar cube?” Applejack asked,

“W-Well, I was just getting some water for when he woke up,” she pointed to the glass that was now on the floor, “a-and then I wrapped up Mr Squirrel’s tail, once I’d done that I came over to him to check his wing, I lifted it up like this…” as she lifted his wing, they all gasped,

“He hasn't got a cutie mark!”

Author's Note

If anyone wants to suggest an event that happens that would be a great help, or maybe if you want to suggest a cutie mark the Alicorn could have that would be great to.
Thanks for reading the first chapter.
