Chapter 1: Leaving home. [WARNING: BORING CHAPTER.]

Load Full StoryNext Chapter

Sparkle chapter's parents were awful. They never looked after her, and never trained her into getting her cutie mark. She did everything herself and got okay grades of D+'s to B-'s. Usually her parents would do only one thing, and that one thing was bad: Never let her go outside. This forced her to stay cramped in her home. Never really exercising, and getting slightly overweight. She would usually watch the TV or write things. Never being able to go out into the world, and face the quest for her cutie mark.

Eventually her parents retired they're jobs as being writers, and, with lots of money afterward began relaxing with new, more expensive items. As they settled back into reality, and began speaking with Sparkle Chapter, they noticed. She still doesn't have her cutie mark. Normally she'd use her tail to hide the fact she has a lack of a cutie mark. She tries her hardest to keep thinking she'll eventually get her cutie mark. Though she is starting to lose hope. After her parents found out she was abused, and put on many strict diets and such. Other ponies started noticing and bullied her, once the bullying got so bad that she bucked somepony with all her might. She was quite strong, despite the lack of exercise, she usually practiced carrying her heavy books everywhere. She was in major trouble for it, that's for sure. Eventually, at the age of 17 she'd had enough. She packed her bags while her parents, asleep, and wrote a note. It was early morning when she opened the door to the world, after finding the key, of course, about 6AM, she spent way too much time packing, and just her luck. She stumbled apon the two twats she hated most. Diamond Tiara and Silver spoon.

"Oh, isn't it our favorite blank flank?" She giggled, lightly hitting Silver Spoon to join her.

"Yeah, it is.. the blank flank that still doesn't have her cutie mark, when we've had ours since we were 8!!~" Silver spoon joined.

"And oh, isn't it my two hated bratty faggots? Just leave me alone!" She growled, trying to hurry it up so she can run away.

Diamond Tiara mumbled something rude under her breath, and kicked the ground.

"BRATS?! Who are YOU calling BRATS! You're the brat here!" She shouted.

Silver spoon gulped, and held Diamond Tiara back from saying anything else, gesturing at her to cut out the insults.

"Says the bratty pony that has a tiara on her ass cheeks. Oh, what is your cutie mark about? Buying more shiny tiara sex toys?" She smirked, not realizing that Silver spoon was trying to hold her back. Silver spoon Facehoofs.

"BRATTY?!.. ASS?!.. SEX TOYS?! What kind of a whore are you!" Diamond Tiara growled back, still being held back by Silver Spoon, getting stronger and more annoyed.

"Whore? What do you mean? I've never managed to get out of the house to get a stallion.. as you said, I don't have a cutie mark, and apparently stallions don't like ponies without cutiemarks." She teased back, trying to get her to take back what she said last week about stallions not liking her due to her lack of a cutie mark.

Diamond tiara bit her lip, trying her hardest not to take anything back, or not to insult her more, at this point her entire face is red.

"Okay then, whore, how about you go off to where you want, and me and Silver spoon can get back to more important things to do?"

Sparkle Chapter tasted the feeling of success, and turned. "Fine then, as you wish~"

She walked off, normally she'd feel regret in what she says, since she was a nice pony, but at this point they were the two twats that made her such a bitch in the first place.

She kept walking, and eventually stopped by at her best friends home, she hasn't seen her best friend for virtually ages, since then she's lost some weight. She knocks on her door, lightly to see if she was even awake, she came out quickly, smiling, she knew Sparkle Chapter was coming this was in the first place.

"Heeeeeyyyyyy, Sparrkkyyyyyyy~" She whispered, excitedly, she was one of those happy ponies.

"Hey, Skirt." She replied, quietly, smiling half-heartedly.

"Heeeeyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.... Sparrkkyyyyyyy... Wa's the long ffaaaccceeeeeee" she whispered back.

"Eh, I'm getting out'a this town."

Sparkly Skirt's frown faded. Her best friend, moving towns? Wow.

"Bbuuttt Sparkyyyyy, why would you leave me?" She sounds a little sad.

"Don't worry, skirt. I'll come back, and I'll visit, in my own time. My parents or so abusive, I can't stay with them anymore, I can't do this shit. - I'm moving to a place where cutie marks don't matter."

"Sparrkyy...."

"Skirt, I've said alrea-"

"Sparky, listen, everywhere you'll get bullied for no cuuttiiee maarrkksssss....."

"Skirt, look, it's fine, fine. I'll move to a place where it doesn't matter AS much, okay?" Her voice was slightly more then just a whisper now.

"But Senpaaaiii Sparrkyyyyyy-"

"Please, no, don't do that Japanese anime.. whatever thing."

Sparkly skirt tilted her head, until realizing that she didn't like Anime things.

"Sowwyyyy~ - You'll come visit though, yaahhh?" She was still whispering.

"Skirt, of course I will. Your my bud, why would I just leave you 'ere? The only way I'd not be able to see you again is... if I lose the path to the place..."

Sparkly froze. "Lose?"

"Ugh.. look, the way I'm going to.. is.... through the ever free forest. But no, no.. shhhh... it's okay, okay... it's only a short way... I'll be fine."

Sparkly Skirt teared up a little. She couldn't stop her friend from leaving, but she knew almost no one passes there without some sort of injury at least, she gave her friend a light hug, and watched her turn, tears running down her eyes slightly.

"Bye, skirt.." She sighed.

"Bye Bye, S-Sparky......." She paused, sniffing. "Wait, Sparky.. wait."

Sparkle Chapter stopped, and turned. "Yah?" Sparkly had a light smile on her face. "G-good luck.." Sparkle nodded, and smiled back. "I'll be fine... fine."

Sparkle left, and started heading towards the everfree forest. Skirt quickly run up the stairs and packed a few things, and went to her parents. "Mum, daaddddddd! Can I go with Sparky-boooooooooo! She's going somewhere for a few days pleeasseeeee!!!" She whined.

Her mum blocked her ears with a pillow, nodding violently, wanting to sleep before work.

"Ye, ye sure, kiddo! Hah, your ol' pap needs some rest'a 'round here anyhows." Her dad said, lightly. Then, Sparkly run down the stairs and bashed through the front door. "HEY, SPARKY! WAIT UP!"

Eventually they caught up with each other, and started to talk. Sparkle Chapter was happy she wasn't alone anymore.
