You are my Sunshine
It was a bright and sunny day in the Everfree forest; a perfect day for Fluttershy to get some herbs from Zecora for her animals. The breeze blew through her hair, scattering it around the calm wilderness. Then she heard something that sounded like somepony whistling a soothing tune. Curious as to who was whistling such a beautiful ballad Fluttershy decided to follow.
Fluttershy hid behind a bush and got a good look on who was whistling this song.
She saw who was whistling the tune,but she never saw this pony before. He had a black coat, with a long brown mane that went down his back. He also had a strange tail that almost was like the shape of a lizard. The strange pony continued whistling completely oblivious to Fluttershy’s presence. She stole a glance at the mysterious pony’s cutie mark.
Fluttershy didn't know what his talent was or where he had come from. She tried to walk away as quietly as possible, but she snapped a small twig under her hoof. “Oh no” she whispered
He immediately turned his gaze to her. She trembled as he looked down on her with half pony half dragon eyes that were mismatched in color: one purple, one bright silver.
Fluttershy wanted to run as fast as she could but the pony might chase her. “Who’s out there? Show yourself assassin if you aren’t to cowardly to face the wrath of Stone Edge!” He shouted aggressively. Fluttershy contemplated on what she should do next. If she stayed there he would find her and do some unspeakable act, but if she were to run he could just as easily capture her and be on his way. ON the end of her rope shy decided to fly as fast as she could.
“Wait a second, who are you? You’re not an assassin.”The pony curiously stated. Try as she might there was absolutely nothing that that could tell her that this guy is a pony. He could be something different, but Fluttershy didn’t count on how gentle his voice was.. “ Heheeheh you’re a shy one aren’t you? So, do you have a name?”
“Ummmmmmmm, ummm Fluttershy.” she said in a near imperceptible peep.
Stone Edge laughed loudly. “I am sorry I can’t hear you. What is your name?”
Fluttershy wanted to hide behind her mane, but her curiosity got the better of her. He didn't look like the rest of the ponies she knew at all. He different like she's seen his fetchers on other species. He has claws his hoofs were supposed to be, and his eyes were the strangest part other than his tail. One eye looked it belonged to some kind of lizard, and the other was just as strange, but Fluttershy saw they had kindness in them, but the way that they appeared was enough to keep her paralyzed in fear.
"I'm Fluttershy..." She managed to quietly force out.
"Hmm... Fluttershy, thats a pretty name for a pretty mare." Stone Edge chuckled causing Fluttershy's face to blaze up at his compliment.
“ Well my name is Stone Edge” He reached out his claw, but Fluttershy backed away.
Stone Edge laughed a little. “I know why they call you Fluttershy, you are very, very shy.”
She stared at his fangs while he was laughing. Those pointy white daggers that sat in the gums of his mouth. Sharp enough to rip of flesh and snap a bone like a toothpick.
Stone Edge knew something was wrong, but he didn't know that ponies would be scared of him because he was half dragon. “Hey, what’s wrong. Does my breath smell funny?” He breathed into his claw to make sure it smelled good.
“No its not your breath, its just I never seen whatever kind of pony you are.” she hid behind her mane.
“Well, I guess I should tell you,” Stone Edge then sat down on a log to get comfortable. “You see I am a half dragon half pony my father is an earth pony while my mother is a dragon, so I am called a kirin, but I really am a earth kirin that so I kind of have the strength of a dragon and earth pony.”
"You mean like a big scary dragon?" Fluttershy whimpered.
"Well no, she's about the size of a regular pony...err twice the size actually. I've never been scared by her, but my dad said when she laid my egg she was super protective. Also when I was conceived, whatever that means.”
He sighed deeply. “You are the only pony besides my dad that I have ever meet. My father always told me that I should never be afraid of ponies. I should always give them a smile and also say nice things to them, especially to mares.”
Fluttershy was still a little scared of the kirin before her, but she could tell that he was mild mannered, and kind hearted. Also, he made her blush in just the five minutes they knew each other.
"Well umm...that's nice” Fluttershy said, peeking out out of her mane showing her eyes.
"There we go." He said. "Don't hide your face in your mane. It's too cute to be hiding from the world, it would be crime."
Once again Fluttershy's face flushed red, but instead of hiding in her mane she gave the young kirin an appreciative smile.
"So what are you doing out here Stone? If you don't mind me asking that is."
Stone Edge had a big smile like he was about to say this joke. “Well I needed to get some exercise and some fresh air because I live in a cave.”
"Oh...What's that like?"
“ It's dark. I normally light candles, read comics, and send letters to my parents.”
"Where do they live?" Fluttershy asked, developing a deep Interest in the kirin life.
“They live very far from here in the Badlands. I had to train my crow ‘Cloud’ ,to send my messages.”
"Oh, that's interesting. I have a friend named Spike, he's a baby dragon. He send messages with his fire breath."
“Ahahah, that sounds awesome! It would probably much easier to do that then to train a crow. Let me tell you this, I trained my crow to talk, but the problem with that is he's always screaming, Corn! Corn! It gets annoying sometimes.”
"I can talk to animals, maybe I can help, if you want?"
Stone curiosity raised his brow. “ Aha, this mare is very interesting.” He said out loud not realizing that Fluttershy had heard.
“Oh crap, did I just said that ?” he thought.
"It's okay, you're interesting too." she said to a blushing stone.
“Out loud!Why do I do think out loud like that?!” Stone thought blushing from embarrassment. He always had a habit of speaking out loud; he gets it from his father.
“ Well it was nice talking with you Fluttershy, but I got to get going. It's getting late.” Stone said, trying to escape any more embarrassment.
"Oh umm... Well I guess it's late for me as well. My animal friends are probably wondering where I'm at. They're probably worried about where I am."
Stone gigged a little. “Well I hope that I didn’t distract you too much, but if you do want to see me again I'll be here... if you want to see me again.”
"I would like that actually." She smiled."And one more thing, why did you think I was an assassin?"
Stone shifted around rubbing his claw on his foreleg nervously like a foal that did something wrong. "Ummmm... I guess those comics are starting to get to me." He give an awkward grin.
Fluttershy giggles. "Getting outside of your house... or cave is wise decision.”
Stone also giggles a little. “Well I do hope we can see each other later, bye.” when Stone left he had a lot of thoughts from how his first time meeting a pony as interesting. She reminded him of his mother, being shy and all.
Stone made it too a cave that had a large boulder by it so that way no one pony or beast could get into his home especially wild cats that he developed a fear from. Stone then pushed the rock with all his strength so he could enter. As soon as there was an opening large enough to fit through he entered then closed the entrance with the huge rock so wild animals wouldn't attack him in his sleep.
Soon Stone lit the candles with his fire breath, clearing the darkness. His cave was a sight to behold. His cave had piles of gold and jewels he collected over time. Greed didn't effect him at all due to his father's genes. Although hoarding was still in him. He can't grow due to his greed though. Normally he would try to keep things clean as possible. Though digging in mines every day doesn't really help.
His other collection of books and comic books were in the part of the cave where he sleeps, and writes to his parents to inform them or just to let them know he's alright.
Stone’s room was like a library with comics and books that his father ‘Sliver’ sent him. He also built the library so his comics don't get messed up. In the far corner of the cave Stone had a long table to write his letters to his parents and his bed to sleep in.
Stone then got up his long table and he was about to write to his parents.“ Hmmm, what to write?” he pondered while swirling the pen in his mouth.
Dear Mom and Dad
Today was an interesting day because today was the very first time I meet a pony, and she was a mare. Her name is Fluttershy, and as her name suggests she is very, very shy. The funny thing is she is almost as shy as you mom. I think she is more shy than you, and she is kind of cute. Wait! I mean sweet, thats what I meant to say. Though I do hope I can see her again, and also she can help me with my annoying pet crow. She can allegedly talk with animals which is awesome. I do hope that you can reply to me very soon.
From your son Love Stone Edge
“ Well its time for bed.” He climbed into his bed preparing for slumber. Before Stone sleeps he always reads his comics. He's reading about one of his favorite superheroes, Thor the Pony god of Thunder. Stone what's to find out if Thor is going to beat his brother Loki again even though he loves to cosplay as Loki because he just awesome.
When Stone was done reading he fell asleep with a smile on his face. Little did he know his pet crow landed on his shoulder and screamed loudly into his ear. “CORN!” which abruptly woke Stone up.
“Please Cloud, let me sleep” Stone tried to fall asleep again, but like the troll that Cloud is, he yelled ‘corn’ in Stone’s ear again. He was glad that he'll send Cloud out soon to send his letter to his parents.
