Rave Riders

"10 years ago"

I just came home after school to find dad completely passed out on his work bench. Drool slowly dripping off the side of his work bench. I decide that it probably be a good Idea not to disturb his nape instead I start wondering around the work shop. Looking around I see the blueprints for the gear that dad and I made for my gear.

"I cant wait to fly." I say looking up at the board. "one day...... I'l fly! I'l fly higher than anyone else!" I say raising my fist up in the air with a triumphant smile on my face.

"Well then we better work quickly wont we Naru?" Came a Voice from behind me. As I turn around I see dad with a grin on his face with his hand holding his head up.

"Dad do you think I can really fly?" I ask turning back to the blueprints.

Dad gets up and walks over to me and picks me up so i'm riding on his shoulders. He points to the blueprints and he starts running his fingers over the drawings.

"There are no better wings than yours Naru so don't ever doubt yourself. That's the first rule of learning how to fly." Dad said with the trace of his signature smirk still on his face. "Do you still remember it's name Naru?"

"Of course I do!" I say looking at the picture of the slim Navy blue and grey frame of the board. "It's the name of my wings! How could I forget!" I say as dad starts to put me down. "Crescent sparrow!"

My Dad was the best in the world! He was everything to our family. The Heart, Blood, and spirit of everything we took pride in. We loved him so much.......and within two months he would be gone.

"Unknown"

I look around and realize I'm back in that place were I meet Mefisto The world with nothing in it. As I start to look around and after a few minutes of searching I find a lone Figure looking at something far away.

As I get closer I notice that the figure is a young child he doesn't look that older than Sara. He's wearing white shorts with blue highlights going down along the sides, He's also wearing a plain white t-shirt and his hair is  a dark blue.

"Hello! Hey kid!" I say trying to grab his attention, however it doesn't look like it worked. "what are you doing here?" I say as I reach out to touch him only after I do touch him I start to fall into the water like surface of the ground and start sinking. As I'm thrashing around trying to reach the surface I feel like I'm running out of air and after a few seconds I run out of strength and I start to sink into the darkness.

"Fluttershy's cottage"

I wake up in a blind panic reaching out for air thinking i'm still drowning only to realize that i'm back in the real world.

"Oh god that....REALLY! sucked." I say as I get out off bed only to realize that i'm completely drenched in sweat. out of instinct I take a quick whiff of my pits.

"OH!" I shout drawing my head back from the stink. "Man I really need a shower." I say as I walk over to my bag a pick up a simple t-shirt and some shorts. with my clothes in hand I open the door I look around to see if Fluttershy is around. "looks like she isn't here." I say as I make my way to the bathroom.

As I lock the door to the Bathroom I think back to the strange kid I saw back in the dream. "who was that kid? And why did he look so familiar? I know I haven't meet him before.... have I?" I walk into the shower and draw the curtain and start the hot water. The warm water washes over me and helps my tense muscles. "I really need this." I say as I look for the soap.

After a few minutes I notice that there isn't any towels in here so I walk over to the door only for someone pounding on it like a sociopath. " WHO'S IN THERE! COME OUT RIGHT NOW!" said a voice I haven't heard before. It sounded more boyish but I could tell it was a girl.

"Umm sorry i'm in the shower! by the way could you get me a towel? doesn't look like there's one in here." I ask after waiting a few minutes. There was a brief silence and after a few minutes I look out and look around for anyone only to find it vacant. I look down and find a towel waiting at my feet.

After I dry myself off I put on my clothes and debate on whether I should go downstairs. "well I have two options here. one I could try to keep myself hidden, which wouldn't work cause I talked to that girl from before." I say as I walk into the guest room to drop off my old clothes. "or I could go downstairs and hope there gone." I say as I open the door again and wait for any sounds that whoever was down there is gone.

After a few minutes of silence I decided now would be a good as time as any and I walk downstairs. "Hey Flutters I hope you don't mind this but I couldn't find any shampoo so I used your soap...." I say now looking at the faces of five very confused mares and one very pitiful looking Fluttershy.

After a few minutes I give a chuckle and a nervous grin. "Umm.........Hi! my names Naru Akita. Nice to meet you."

"45 minutes earlier Fluttershy's Pov"

After the day Fluttershy had yesterday she takes a few more minutes than usual getting ready for the day. "I still can't believe what happened yesterday." She said with a blush on her face. "To think I meet someone like.....HIM!" she said with smile.

After getting her chores for the morning finished up she took a few seconds to relax on the couch only for a few minutes later for someone to pound on her front door.

"FLUTTERSHY! YOU IN THERE!" Said a tomboyish voice from behind the door.

"No doubt who that is." Fluttershy got up and walked over to the door and meet face to face with a rainbow maned Pegasuses mare who has been her friend since she was a child.

"Good morning Rainbow dash." Fluttershy said with her usually round of shyness.

"Fluttershy! where were you yesterday?" Rainbow dash asked with a annoyed expression.

"Did I miss something?" Fluttershy asked looking kind of confused as to why Rainbow was making such a big deal out of this.

"Duh its our weekly meetings we have with the others! Remember now?" Rainbow said holding her hands up in the air.

Fluttershy suddenly remembered that Tuesdays are when she and the girls meet up and hang out for the day. After a few minutes the rest of the group consisting of her other friends showed up each looking confused.

"I completely forgot! I'm so sorry! something just came up yesterday in the ever free forest and.." Fluttershy said only to be stopped by a purple unicorn mare putting her hand on her shoulder.

"YOU WENT INTO THE EVER FREE BY YOURSELF!" The purple mare said with a worried expression.

"Only for a few minutes!" Fluttershy said trying to make sure not to make a fuss. only a few seconds later she heard what sounded like a door opening and on reflex slammed the front door with enough force to startle the others.

"Oh.....sorry." Fluttershy said with a bright blush on her face.

"Fluttershy what in tar nation is going on?" The Orange mare wearing a stetson said with a concerned look on her face.

"Nothing! Nothings wrong! I just thought we should just stay outside for some........fresh air. Yeah that's it." Fluttershy said with one of THE  worst poker faces ever seen.

After that outburst they all enter the cottage, leaving fluttershy with sweat going down her face. She rushes in finding the girls looking around for any signs of a disturbance.

"Everything looks fine to me." said a very elegant voice of the white mare.

"Yeah everything looks ok to me." Said the bubbly voice of a pink mare.

"I don't know. Why would she want use inside her house if everything fine." Rainbow dash said with a frown.

"Maybe shes on her....... you know?" The pink mare said with a raised eyebrow.

After a few seconds everyone heard the shower turn on and the pipes rattle. Destiny had a cruel since of humor that day as the five mares had mixed looks of amusement on there faces.

"OH I GOT TO SEE THIS!' Rainbow dash said as she flew up the stairs. Fluttershy quick to respond moved quicker than any of her friends have seen her move before fly up the stairs only to she Rainbow with a cheeky grin.

"Umm sorry I'm in the shower! by the way could you get me a towel? doesn't look like there's one in here." Fluttershy with a defeated look went to get a towel and left it at the door for Naru and went back downstairs with Rainbow in tow.

"Fluttershy you sly dog! I never knew you had it in you!" Rainbow said barreling over in laughter while fluttershy kept a very large blush on her face.

"Its not like that." Fluttershy said looking up at Rainbow looking VERY upset. "He crashed in the Ever free yesterday and he was beat up so I had to help him." she said trying to clear up this situation without telling much about Naru.

"Hey Flutters I hope you don't mind this but I couldn't find any shampoo so I used your soap...." came a voice from upstairs.

Instantly everyone's attention was drawn to the new presence in the room and was left speechless to find a creature with no fur except for on top of his head wearing a t-shirt with black shorts. His most most definite feature being his face he didn't have a muzzle nor did he have ears like theirs and his blue eyes where much smaller than theirs.

After a few minutes of awkward silence the creature spoke again with a nervous on his face.

"Umm.........Hi! my names Naru Akita. Nice to meet you."

"TO BE CONTINUED!"
