1: Silver Flame

A full moon shines in the distance as a young tan-white filly walks to Fluttershy’s cabin with a solemn face. The little runaway doesn’t even know the adventures she will encounter but that’s another story and for when she’s older. The little pony with a scarlet mane and a brilliantly blank flank knocks on the door of the cabin near the woods.

“Fluttershy, please let me stay here,” the little pony pleads. “Only for a night.”

“I'm sorry as much as I want to, some of the animals wanted to sleep over today and I don’t think I can make any space,” The pony with a butterfly butt tattoo replies quietly. “I’m sorry, my little friend.”

With that, the filly walked away in her cute knapsack, trying to find a place to stay.

“What am I gonna do?” she asks quietly. Thinking, she says, I should find a small plain to sleep in and start a fire. The only place left to go is the Everfree forest. The thought of going into the forest didn’t even make her twitch. She knew what the circumstances held, she didn’t care; it was either this or go back and that wouldn’t happen. Ever.

Slowly, she walked into the belly of the beast: Everfree, Equestria.

A dark shadowy place, like the forest at night, is no place for a filly, they always told me. She walked on the path that leads to Zecora’s cottage. Wait, maybe I should walk away somewhere else. She steered off the path hearing and seeing as much as she can. She heard Manticores and Timberwolves but when looking around she saw nothing; it seemed as if they were going away from her. Every single tree looks exactly the same, at least the moonlight can guide me. Looking at the trees, she noticed that she felt warmth from them. How odd. She put her hooves on the trunk and closed her eyes. Bum bum, Bum bum , Bum bum, Bum bum. A heartbeat, what the hay? I must be going out of my mind. Just keep walking silly filly. Along a path of trees and bushes that seemed dead, she found a fluffy bush, perfect to sleep on, with enough space to stay for a night.

With the task set, her mind wanders to a small memory from earlier that day.

“Silver please, cook some macaroni and cheese, please!”

“Yes, mother!” I grabbed the pot, filled it with water, and put it down. I pushed the kitchen’s foldable step to the stove. I grabbed the matches and lit the stove. The fire seemed to call to me so I hovered my hoof over it. It started to follow me so I made a circular motion up trying to stop it but it sparked. No!

With a small shake of her head and a shiver up her spine, she focused on the task at hand.

This is perfect, a small path with a small oval cul-de-sac. I just need to take out my matches and find some dry sticks. Got them! This should be easy as going to SugarCube Corner and buying pie.

Crunch! What was that‽

She looks around, scanning the area but all that was visible were creepy trees. Nothing, just light those sticks and then worry about safety. As she lit the fire, she was surprised to see that her favorite princess was in front of her. The princess smiles as she has witnessed this reaction to her presence before.

The one with a moon butt tattoo appears out of the dark. “Princess Luna is that you? Oh, I'm so sorry.” She fumbled around, bows but then couldn’t find what to do, “Do you want something or can I get you anything like a match?”

“No thank you. Just your name, please.” The royal mare sat down on the bush next to the little pony as if tired of what the rest of the night might hold.

“Please, call me Silver Flame, your majesty” The little pony was scared as to what the princess was doing in the forest with her, as it was about ten at night.

“Let me explain what I am doing here. I was flying around Canterlot Tower and in the distance I saw a fire coming from the Everfree Forest,” Silver Fire took out a small bag with caramel popcorn in it and started munching, after all she skipped dinner and she is hungry and what better time than when Princess Luna was telling her a story. Luna continues, “Sometimes a wildfire will start in the Everfree for reasons unknown, so I come to check them out. But as I was getting closer, I noticed there were shiny silver flames,” She paused with a glance to the forest then back at her, “In shape of small hoof-prints.” Luna paused to let that sink in.

Silver shifted on the bush then sat on the grassy floor. With a furrowed brow Silver asks, “What was it?” And Luna stood for dramatic affect and answered, “It was you.” A small little gasp showed Princess Luna that Silver Flame did not understand her power.

The forest animals made noises but with no mind from the ponies. After a small while calming down and heating up by the fire, they continued the conversation about Silver Flame’s power and the best way is to harness it.

“Close your eyes and breathe. Now lend me your hoof.” The tall dark blue mare held the pony’s hoof in her hooves. “Listen to only my voice and your breathing.”

I hope she knows what she is doing…but she has my confidence.

All the noises in the forest disappeared into the night leaving behind only silence, leaving Silver to remember a day about year ago and wanting to touch the fire at camp time. The fire called to her just like the moon does on a night like this. Enveloped in the gaze of the flames, she sneezed and the fire moved as if dodging her sneeze. The counselor’s mane caught fire; he was fine but he wouldn’t want to have a long mane for a while.

“Silver Flame.” The calling of her name made her focus, “Please, pay attention. Imagine the moon in your hoof and breathe deeply as you do.” Luna’s face was as serious as a heart attack to an obese pony.

“Luna is there something on my hoof, it’s itchy. My hoof never gets itchy.”

Confused Silver Flame opens her eyes and was almost shocked enough to jump. Instead she pushes that instinct down and breathes. In her hoof was a flame wavering, bigger and smaller, almost matching her own breaths. The light coming from the flames is silver with a slight tinge of red at the bottom. Luna observes the action as if this happens everyday.

“Silver Flame, it is you who have the power of the moon and the sun and you are needed in Equestria. You cannot run from your life.”
Suddenly holding her breath reduced the flames on her hooves and soon dies from lack of focus on her breaths.

Princess Luna says, “You accidentally caused a fire in your house. Everypony was chattering about how the fire wasn’t normal. But your mother is worried. She doesn’t know where you are and is frantically searching the whole town leaving fliers of you everywhere.”

“Princess you are right I can’t run away with from the things in life, I have to stand up.” Silver Flame gets up and packs not even noticing that her flank was no longer bare, a little flame of silver with the sun and moon inside it. She finally got her butt tattoo.

And that is the story of a young filly getting her cutiemark in something that will affect a lot of ponies for there is much still unknown about Silver Flame’s past and future.

2: Friendship is Bliss

Silver Flame is a graduating filly from Ponyville’s school for fillies and colts; she grew so fast mostly because that’s the boring part of her life excluding practices with Princess Luna. Silver Flame, a gentle pony now, was moving into her own cottage but with a roommate to afford it. In the new cottage unpacking with her mom and freaking out because Silver Flame is scared of meeting new people.

“Mom I haven’t even met this pony yet, she could be a squirrel killer!” Silver Flame worries putting utensils into the kitchen.

“Silver Flame, please calm down; you do know some things about her. She is from Manehattan and I’m sure you will be fast friends,” said the yellow pony with orange hair while putting up some curtains.

“Mom you said that for every filly in school and none of them liked me. It was just me, books, animals and my powers.”

“You’ll be –“ Geum stops talking as a young pony walks into the cottage looking around.

“Excuse me.” The pony says quietly, “Is one of you,” She looks at the paper on her hoof and slowly says, “Silver Flame?” The bud green pony with dark olive hair and wisteria high lights puts down her bags and brings in a box.

“I made brownies as a new house thing. Did you already choose your room or should I just bring everything in first?” Almost overwhelmed she stops talking as Silver Flame and Geum stopped talking a while ago.

Shaking her head Geum starts to put her hoof up for a hoofshake, “Hello I'm Geum, Silver Flame’s mother and you must be?”

Taking the hoof, she replies “Spring Bud, um I came to Ponyville to study the perennial in this area.”

“It’s good to know you like nature I do to.” Silver Flame says with a smile.

Slowly walking toward the door Geum says, “Well I’ll leave you two fillies on your own. If you need anything, I live 5 doors down to the left.” And with that, Geum leaves.

“You want to go to Sugarcube Corner for a milkshake?” Silver Flame requests as fast as the crackle of fire.

“Sure that sounds fun!” Spring Bud’s shines bright as the sun.

Walking into Sugarcube Corner, Silver Flame says Good Afternoon to everyone she knows.

“Hey, get me a strawberry milkshake and I’ll be getting us a table.”

“You! MOVE!” Spring Bud yells to a group of fillies and colts while sitting down, “go to a park or something!”

“Hey, come on man,” a colt says.

“Spring Bud,” Silver Flame doesn’t want any trouble, “Maybe we shouldn’t, we can go outside it's all right.” Silver Flame averts a disaster.

They sat down outside and started talking about Princess Luna and how she came back after thousands of years.

“Princess Luna is such a nice princess.”

“I think she is super phony.”

“Well, she never has done anything that bad.”

“Yes she has, she almost put Equestria in total darkness.”

“Don’t talk about her like that. You know what if your going to be a bad pony, then you can have the cottage to yourself.”

“No. Please,” she sobs.

Silver Flame gets up and walks away, not looking back. Not knowing that behind her Spring Bud was in the verge of tears.

Back at the cottage, Silver Flame starts to pack her stuff up.

“Yeah I’m taking the all the utensils too. I want to see you eat now.” Silver Flame angrily mumbles to herself. The scarlet and silver haired pony was unhappy and didn’t respect those who speak depraved of the princesses.

They didn’t even see Spring Bud in front of her with something in her wing.

“What are you doing here?” Silver Flame says to her back.

“Walking into my house and looking for a present for my new friend.” The green pony walks to a cabinet.
Silver Flame looks at her than looks away pretending to not be interested.

“You see, being from Manehattan and I only had my dad because when I was young my mom got sick and passed away.”

“My dad passed away at a young age.” Silver Flame says empathetically turning around and sitting on the beanie chair to her left.

“Since then I only had friends that weren’t nice to me and were all fake. They always left me and never came back.” Spring Bud starts to sob and tear sitting down across from Silver Flame in the cyan beanie chair. “My mom always told me to give people a chance and I stopped doing that because I didn’t want to be left behind anymore. I want to lead.”

“You can lead, you can lead with meeee-” Silver Flame starts to cry. Astonishingly the tears were silver and burning hot.

“Oh I'm so sorry in reality I’m a very calm pony trust me. Can we be friends, Silver?” Spring Bud is also crying tears only they smell like wisteria which is odd but oddly familiar when with her.

Silver Flame who was still crying, nods because she unable to speak. They start to calm down and start unpacking their things.

“How bad is the cold over here? Does anypony wear socks here or is it gonna be just me?” Spring Bud asks looking to Silver Flame who was also unpacking winter clothes. Slowly Silver Flame raises a whole bunch of socks in her hoofs with a smile as warm as fire on her lips.

Spring Bud gasps then shrieks with excitement as they jump up and down with happiness stamped on their faces.
