A Day In Manhattan

A Day In Manhattan

A normal day in Manhattan is happy, lively, colorful, but me, i'm everything opposite, you see my family died in the Equestrian War just 2 weeks after i was born and so therefore, no one to care for or to teach me i learned everything on my own.

But i'm not good at everything i do...and by i mean everything i mean literally EVERYTHING, i'm not good at most things, even walking i have trouble with sometimes, but you might be asking how did you even LEARN?

And well it took a lot of years watching ponies go by the window where i am and seeing what they do the same and separate that from what happens occasionally.

The next day.

"Ugh..." I yawned, it was the first day of school which means all hell breaks loose, okay, the negatives to my school-I'm the only colorless pony there, I always get whispers and looks, i'm the only one with no cutie mark in my entire school, and the teachers and Councillors are down right the devils.

Positives-I have my own seat at lunch that's a grey table much like my mane and a little sign that says "colt" and the table smells,has scratches,and some red marks which i assume is blood and that isn't really much of a positive so yeah, i meant when all hell breaks loose, and then....there's...him.

Bugs and scratch, two punks who say their in a motorcycle gang which is really only his little club which just has his friend and him in it so i take them lightly and normal.

While other praise them or he pops his hooves and stares at them, but me, i wouldn't mind dying so i don't know why they haven't done it yet.

"Hey, colt, nice to see you here isn't it?" bugs asked.

"Why don't you pick on someone your own size" I grunt.

"Says the little pip squeak" Bugs insulted and i stand up to prove i'm a few inches taller than him and he takes a slight move back.

"Size doesn't matter worm" Bugs came back.

"Really?" I answer and smile, it's been a long time since I've smiled.

"Go on, hit me" Bugs insisted.

"Gladly" I whisper and tackle him only to see scratch jump on me but before he can get to me i buck him and try to choke bugs, his head red and eyes popping out and then scratch bucks me but it doesn't do much and i ignore it and i tighten my grip and now bugs' face is purple.

"THAT IS ENOUGH" a loud voice yelled across the room, it was principal cake and she was furious.

"I asked colt if he wanted to hang and said no and tried to choke me!" bugs shouted with an innocent voice and i got a mad look from principal cake and what else to be expected? expelled.

So i have to leave the school for a long time so i go to my one place where i can do anything myself and not get picked on or bothered and that it drawing so I enter my house and grabbed a half-broken pen and started to draw my sketch which was my 11th copy of what I wanted my whole life.

I like to draw me and two other ponies on a farm out in the middle of nowhere, i draw one pony pink and the other blue, they're my parents, i think however i was never able to get a good picture of my parents and if so don't remember.

But then my pen got moved by nothing, for the first time in my life.

"What was that?" I asked to see something glowing in the front of the door, a letter.

"Dear Colt, It has come to my sense that you are not living the best life so just between you and me i will let you leave Manhattan to discover who you truly are and learn a lesson that i want to tell you." I read and my heart skipped a beat and i got the biggest smile in my life, your right, it wasn't THAT big.

So i packed my stuff in a hobo bag which was a broken pen and a piece of glass that someone said "was a family photo before you were born" and at first i didn't believe it but then i realized it was my only opportunity to believe SOMETHING.

And with that i left Manhattan and smelled the new fresh are but then it hit me.

"Where am i going to go?" I asked myself.

The Place Where I Fit In

"Ugh...huh?" I said as I felt a slight tap on my muzzle and it took a while for my vision to gain focus and before i knew it i saw three little ponies that were a bit small than me "What do you want?" I asked.

"Whew...so your alive..." A yellow pony said "My name is Apple Bloom! and this is Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo" Apple Bloom Said "And yours?"
I rolled my eyes because everyone is asking me this.

"Ugh...I don't have a name so everyone just because I AM a colt..." I shouted and galloped to the right passing sugar cube corner but i knew they were following me and i was getting tired so i just stopped "FINE! WHAT DO YOU WANT?!" I shouted.

"We were just wondering if you wanted to join our group...because your the first colt we've found that can join us" Scootaloo said and all three of them showed me that they were blank flanks and i thought this could be a second chance.

"Oh...um...s-sure!" i said nervously and they walked me into this weird place that was filled with apple trees and before we knew it i saw a wooden tree house.

"HOLD ON A SEC!" Sweetie Belle said and ran back into the apple trees and came back with a red cape that didn't necessarily fit but I ignored it and walked inside and the tree fillies went behind a backboard.

"Here today we have a new crusader, Colt, The grey pony of magic and trustworthy and is now officially part of...THE CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS!" she announced and they put on their capes including me and i kinda blushed and we headed out and Apple Bloom took me to a place that i dreamed of...a farm.

"Where'd you get this..." I asked in awe and Apple Bloom giggled.

"This barn was here for generations! me and my family have lived in it and cherished it" She answered.

And with those words I left in tears taking off my cape and went back into town and ran and ran "n-no....These ponies....t-they have...everything i wanted...A family,Barn,Friends but most importantly PARENTS" I said to myself and ran a long way from the barn and went back to the tree and landed on it with a big *THUMP!*.

"What was that?" A purple Pony said as they came out of the tree and looked at me "Oh...it was only...." She said and starred at me and ran back into the tree and came back out with a letter.

"Dear Twilight Sparkle, You will be having a guest over to ponyville which may be your biggest obstacle that you've faced in friendship" Twilight read and grabbed my hoof and ran into the place "So what's your name?" She asked.

"Why does everyone want to know my name?" I thought but said "Colt..." I said and she also raised an eyebrow but then her eyes got big which scared me even a bit more than that pink pony who smiled all the time.

"Interesting...so no name..." Twilight said and started to write on a notepad and i looked left and right in confusion and saw a baby dragon and ran to it.

"Hey...are you behind this?" I said as i grabbed him by the neck.

"W-what?!" He said and i could tell he was telling the truth from his voice so i let go.

"Well do you know why everyone is being so nice and asking what my name is?" I asked.

"I don't know! how about you visit Apple Jack, she's the most trustworthy in this town, she's at the sweet apple anchors barn!" He said and went under his blanket so i sneaked through the window as Twilight was thinking so i ran processing the words and slowed down.

"So...i have to go to the barn..." I said and sighed because that place is the thing i wanted the most in life from the second i was born so i walked trying to avoid all the other ponies because i was tired of answering their question which my answer wasn't really valid.

So once i got there I soon got an idea and ran into the barn and hid in the hay to see Apple Bloom,an old green pony,an orange pony, and a red stallion "they have an entire FAMILY in there..." I thought and got out from the hay and made myself a sleeping spot in one of the corners of the barn which was surprising comfy and with that i went to bed.

"Hello...Colt?" A voice from the abbess said.

"Celestia? Is that you?" I asked.

"No, it's me, Luna" Luna said and came out from the abbess and smiled "It seems you have already grown..." she said.

"W-wha-huh?" I said in confusion and patted my head and lifted a yellow ball of light from my mane and it was glowing brightly.

"This is your friend-meter, it shows how much of a friend you've become" She said but i rolled my eyes and walked slightly away.

"I'm not interested in making friends, i'm only interested in finding out who i am!" I shouted in anger.

"Well then...okay...if you think you can do this on your own then that is your wish, but everyone gives in at one point...you said you wanted to have a normal life...you need friends to answer your questions...now...time to wake up" She Insisted and made the ball of light bigger and bigger until everything was pure white and then woke up

"Huh...friends can solve all my problems?" I asked myself and looked at the window from the apple family and my tummy growled "Maybe it IS time to eat..." I said and went into the house.

Time To Make Friends

I sneaked into the house and luckily everyone was asleep so i opened the fridge and they had all sorts of pies which i ate all of...i guess i WAS hungry so i sat at the table and turned the lights on but I noticed two eyes in the shadows.

"H-hello?" I asked and the pony from the shadows jumped and pounced on me, it was the orange pony.

"What in the hay y' do'n here?" she asked and let go of me but leaned towards the table, probably getting ready to get a knife but again, i wouldn't mind dying so i just came out clear.

"Well I am an orphan and it's been forever since the last time i slept good and i was hungry and plus i had to walk here from Manhattan to ponyville and i'm already apart of the "Cutie Mark Crusaders"! so if your going to kill me, do it fast" I said and looked down and opened my arms but instead of a knife to the forehead i got a hug and for once in my life i felt accepted.

"I-I get is...Sugar cube....you finish your pies..." She said and walked into the wall-way and vanished into the darkness and i felt as if i was being loved...for the first time in my life.

"Maybe i should take Luna's advice..." I thought and finished my pie and waited until She orange mare came back but i got tired of waiting so i went in there but tripped over one of the un-nailed flooring's rolling into this room that had a view and bed so i rolled in the bed and felt as if someone else was there so i turned around...

It was Apple Bloom and i jumped out of the bed rolling as if i was in therapy and went out through the window and i could see the club house fro where i was and grabbed my cape and put it on "If i'm going to make some new friends....Better start here!" I said to myself and trotted to the town and it was like i was the only one awake.

"Hello?" I said but there was no reply so i just kept on walking observing everything and looked up to see it was going to be a stormy day until I saw a fast rainbow fly across the sky and before i knew it the hole sky was cleared but then that rainbow came coming towards me and knocking me on the ground.

"Who are you?!" A cyan pony said.

"I'm...C-Colt!" I shouted and she let go and smiled.

"Well i'm Rainbow Dash! i'm guessing your new here?" She said.

"How did you..." I said in confusion.

"Just got a thing for these things" Rainbow said and lifted me off the ground.

"H-hey!" I said squirming my hooves but she didn't move and before I knew it, i became one in the rainbow. We were going fast and then she flew me to this weird boutique area.

"That's Rarity's house! err... boutique" She said and levitated me back on the ground.

"See ya around!" Rainbow said and with that she flew away and for some reason i smiled and then i felt as if my mouth became possessed.

"See ya around to! Rainbow Dash!" I shouted not thinking that would ever come out of my mouth in a million years so i entered the boutique and saw a white pony with a purple curled mane.

"Hm? Who are you?" Rarity said.

"Rainbow Dash sent me here, i'm new to ponyville" I said.

"Well i'm guessing you've already met Sweetie Belle? She came darting in and grabbing one of her red capes from her room and i asked what happened but all she said was "No time,New crusader, New Friend!" Rarity said and i scooted back a little because from that alone i realized something...

I'm not alone anymore.

Why I Don't Fit In

So I walk out of the boutique and I don't know what happened but everyone is now awake and ponyville is now live and ponies are buying stuff,ponies playing in the park so i did the natural thing and go to the park to fit in with the other field ponies and not long after i hear giggles behind me.

"What? who is that?" I say as i turn around to see two unicorns, one is blue and the other yellow and the blue one's horn is glowing and their both smiling and whispering and before i know it, everyone in the park is laughing at me.

I look at my plot to see the blue unicorn drew something i shouldn't say and i give them a bad look and before i knew it im in my pouncing position.

"Hey grey miff!" The yellow unicorn said and puffed some smoke out of his nostrils.

"M-my name is...COLT" I shout and pounce on the unicorn and then the blue unicorn tries and jump on me but i turn around and he lands on his muzzle, then i got around and kick him away and push down on the unicorns body and he can't breathe and now everyone is looking at the fight some throwing bits and all.

"What am i even doing?" I asked myself but i felt as if i was satisfied with killing him so i curl in a ball still holding him down and buck with all my force.

I broke his spine and he is rushed to the hospital and for some reason i felt as if i wanted to do it more and glance at the blue unicorn with a mad smile and pounce on him neck and before i knew it, before my very own eyes, I conquered murder by breaking his neck and now i see that there are more than just fillies and colts, but police ponies.

"FREEZE" A green Pegasus said holding a taser in his mouthand then once processed everything i just did i let myself in jail.

"....Oh my god...what the FUCK was i doing?!" I whispered to myself and all i could do was sit down in my sell and look out of the window to get a small glimpse of ponyville before i see the Cutie Mark Crusaders come looking for me and i duck "What have i done?"

The Aftermath Of A Fight

As i am sleeping i feel i slight tap but stay asleep until the tap got more aggressive and then i here a big *BOOM* and i'm up and all i see out the window is a bunch of unicorns and earth ponies fighting and i look back into the cellar to see a dark red pony who is bruised.

"Hurry, get up" He says and i'm on my feet and he nudges his head up and left so i assume that's a direction and it turns out it leads to the exit so I start to run and i'm outside and everything is utter chaos, the unicorns and earth ponies are fighting,the sky is red,now and then you hear a big BOOM, and many other's are fleeing but one trips next to me and i help her up.

"What happend?!" I ask and the pony just pointed towards ponyville.

"Some earth pony and a unicorn got in a fight and the earth ponies had enough and so did the unicorns so they went to war leaving us pegasi fleeing not getting wrapped up in this chaos" She said.

"Why not fly?" I asked.

"Most of the unicorns numbed them because they said 'Watch us kill them all' but we still fled, Name's Fluttershy" Fluttershy said.

"And i'm colt, bye!" I said nervously and went into ponyville "I started this...and i'm going to end it!" I thought and dove straight into the war and crawling under dead and almost dead bodies and then i saw Sweetie Belle about to kill Apple Bloom.

"This is your fault!" Sweetie Belle yelled at Apple Bloom who was in tears and Sweetie Belle was lifting her spear up about to kill Apple Bloom.

"NOOO!" I shouted and dove midway through the killing and the spear went through me instead and both of the ponies froze and so did the war.

"I...i'm the...*COUGH* one....who caused this....i killed him...the unicorn...s-sorry..." I said weakly and coughed out some blood and then lowered my head down as i knew i was going soon, but i smiled knowing who i'll meat up there...

Sweetie Belle sobbed and tried pulling the spear out of my body but it got stuck by one of my wounds.

"Please....remember this...ponyville, your the one who brought me friendship, you brought me everything i need to live a good life, but i don't deserve it...please...stop the war, live at peace, you don't want to be like me...promise..." I said and with that i went.

"No...C-colt...y-you can't go..." Apple Bloom said and most ponies put down their armor and weapons as they watched my once alive body die.

What It's Like In Heaven

What It's Like In Heaven

"Come on, son, time to wake up" A weird voice said and i opened my eyes and saw two ponies, one was pink, and other blue and they both smiled.

"W-who are you?" I asked as they pulled a picture from the table and showed it to me, it was my picture of me and two other ponies one,pink, other blue on a farm out in the middle of nowhere.

"You have a very good memory, Creminson" The blue pony said.

"Who's Creminson?" I asked and they both looked at each other and smiled.

"YOU are, you thought we didn't name you but we knew our time with you was going to be short, so we named you the second you were born, your not Colt" The blue pony said.

"He's telling the truth, it broke my heart when we knew the true fact" The pink pony said and hugged me and i felt as if i remembered the hug from 7 years ago and that's when it hit me.

THEY ARE my parents and i guess i was smart...i had so many questions to ask them so i started off with my most basic question.

"What's YOUR names?" I asked.

A New Light

I walked and walked until my hooves got tired and sat down but I felt as if i'm right next to Manhattan but I KNOW i'm far by now.

"Did...did that letter lie?..." I asked myself and then the best happened, RAIN!

I dug through my hobo bag and noticed i accidentally put the letter there to.

"How'd that get there?" I thought and pulled it out and read the letter again and for some reason I got a weird tingly feeling and got goosebumps but felt...good...so good i got up and started to run.

It was almost sunset so i took my hobo bag and unfolded it and made it a blanket and fell asleep.

"Hm? where am I?" I asked myself, it was pitch black but at the same time it felt as if i was floating and then saw a bright light come. It was Princess Celestia.

"W-what are you doing here? isn't that luna's job?" I asked but felt myself bowing down.

"Well you see i know how hard your life has been to i made a map that leads to your new destiny and to find out who you are" Princess Celestia said and floated it into my hobo bag that was already tied.

"And now it's time to say good morning" Princess Celestia said and vanished and before i knew it i woke up.

"T-thank you Princess..." I said and took out the map and started to follow it, meeting new creatures and even saw this weird thing that looked like a butterfly and kept walking but my hooves started to ache but for some reason it was as if my hooves were walking on their own and before i knew it i saw a sign.

"Welcome to....Ponyville?" I read and looked around and it was as if it was...well...not what i knew so i kept walking until i got to the middle of the town and sat down.

"WHEW! What an adventure!" I said and noticed breathing behind my neck and turned around to see a pink pony who was smiling.

"HI! What's you name?" She asked.

"Uh...I...I don't have one..." I said and then remembered I actually DO NOT have a name, so everyone just calls me colt because...well, TAKE A GUESS!

"Actually....fine...it's colt" I said but she only raised an eyebrow.

"What kind of parents name their foal what they are?" She asked but her eyebrow energy went to her smile which kinda scared me

"Well...I didn't have any parents, well...i did....but lost them in a war..." I said and before i knew it she lifted me and ran to this place that looked like a gingerbread house.

"WELCOME TO SUGAR-CUBE CORNER!" She shouted which kinda made my ears ring.

"Nice to...ugh...know..." I said and rolled my eyes and covered my ears.

"This place you can get any treats for only ONE bit!" she said and held her hoof and i was hungry but also poor so i just tilted my head away and her smile weakened and then went back.

"Okay then see ya around" She said and i walked out of the place and went to this big tree that had a door and more and rested on it.

"Not sure if this was the right place" I asked my self and tried to take a nap but noticed the sunlight was a lot brighter than usual and for some reason....I smiled.
