The Power of Budder

-Sky-

Sky was living happily on his own in the Everfree Forest. Today, though, he was going to Ponyville for some of Applejack's apples. They were the best apples in all of Equestria. He had been alone ever since his friends abandoned him. He was still gray, still mad at his friends. As much as he hated going into town, he knew he had to if he wanted to live.

Sky packed his saddlebags and set off. But today he took a different route. He said hello to his squidful friends and flew off again. Every time he took this route, he passed the Ponyville Cemetery. But today, something was different. Sky had come at just the right time to see his ex-friend, Ty. But surely Ty would notice if he flew over. So he had no choice but to hide in a tree and wait for Ty to finish. Today was the day he supposedly died, except two years later. Ty pulled out his old budder and purple colored amulet. He put it around the stone and hoped it would work. See, that amulet was (notice the was) his lifeline and if it died, so did he. But if it was okay, it might just bring him back. Ty had a look of utter despair on his face. It almost hurt Sky to see someone he knew to be like that. Almost. But Ty didn't deserve Sky's sympathy, because he had completely abandoned him when he was captured by the squids. Just smirked at him and left. Then he realized that it was a mistake. But Sky didn't care.

By this time, Sky wasn't just completely gray. He was all black, blacker than night. He had no cutie mark, and he had strange powers. The only things that weren't black were the whites of his eyes and his teeth. His eyes were black.

Sky tried to tune out Ty, but it didn't work. He found himself listening very intently sometimes.

He just wanted to get out of here.

-Ty-

Today was the day that Sky died. Ty was very sad. He was always sad. But no sadness compared to today. Every year he came to the empty grave that said:

Here lies Sky

Who was a great Budder Warrior against squids.

He lived for 25 years.

Leader of the SkyArmy

And great friend.

Ty tried every year to bring Sky back. It never worked. Ty tried to get a hold of the sushi he loved so much. He always put it on Sky's grave. Suddenly, he heard a rustle come from the trees. He picked up a stick with his magic. "Hello? Who's there?"
