Eclipseby rsomebronyudontknowChaptersEclipse, chapter 1Eclipse, chapter 2eclipse, chapter 3Eclipse, chapter 1On a usual morning in mid July, Fluttershy was going to the store for Angel's special salad, which was the only thing he would eat and refused to eat anything else. As she was walking she was making a mental list of the things she needed "Carrots, one cherry, one bunch of asparagus..." When suddenly, Rainbow Dash whooshed by screaming "All Pegasus ponies: very important meeting at the library 4 'o' clock, it is mandatory that you come!!!" and dumping flyers over the heads of the groups of Pegasus ponies. Fluttershy picked up a flier, it read 'Tornado duty, Cloudsdale needs water!!' Fluttershy put her ears back and said "Oh my, I'm not sure I can do that, it sounds scary. Only the strong Pegasus will be able to make a difference, I guess they won't need my help... Oh but she said it was mandatory, I guess I'll have to go." (Later after the meeting at the library, Rainbow Dash sees Fluttershy trying to sneak away) "FLUTTERSHY!" Fluttershy flinched. "Just where do you think you're going?!" "Oh, I was just... not feeling well (cough, cough) so.... I was just going to go home.... yeah." Fluttershy, mustering up a not very convincing, innocent smile. "Fluttershy, are you trying to get out of tornado duty again?!" "Oh no, I would never try to do that..." "Oh really?" said Rainbow Dash, not convinced. "Then why did I have to DRAG you out of your house to get you to come!?" Fluttershy, now fidgeting says in a nervous voice, "Well um... oh is it that time all ready? I have to go um... feed Angel! you know how hungry he can get..." Fluttershy took off running to her house "Fluttershy!!!" rainbow dash yelled after her in an exasperated tone. "You better be at practice tomorrow!!!" "Hey, Rainbow? what's going on I heard some yelling and decided to check it out." said Twilight Sparkle, trotting up to Rainbow Dash. "Oh sorry Twilight. It's just that Fluttershy runs away from everything!" Without warning, Pinkie Pie rams into Rainbow Dash, breathing heavily. "I... new...pony...town..." "Whoa, whoa, take a breath, Pinkie!" says Twilight "Just tell us what happened...slowly" The fuchsia earth pony took a few more breaths before continuing. "Well I was just walking along and then I saw somepony I never saw before then I stopped and then he stopped then I ran up to him then and then he freaked out and jumped into a bush then I said hi to the pony in the bush then he made a sound that sounded like, heeeeeeeeiiiiiiii then I was like WHOAH and he was freaked out again and ran away and I chased after him then I couldn't find him then I ran here!" concluded pinkie pie with a big breath "What's this I hear about a new pony in town?" said Applejack as she trotted over to the group, over hearing the conversation. "Pinkie saw some new pony then scared him away" Rainbow Dash said sarcastically "Hey! I did not!!" exclaimed Pinkie Pie as she glowered at Rainbow Dash "Well the logical thing to do now is to find this new pony and welcome him to Ponyville." Pinkie Pie jumped up around excitedly and said "I saw him running towards the evergreen forest!" "Wait, I thought you said you lost him?" said Applejack quizzically, watching the earth pony jump around excitedly. "You know what... never mind." Eclipse, chapter 2(About 10 minutes before, Fluttershy is walking towards her house, talking to herself.) "This tornado duty is scary; I'll have to fly in front of other ponies, like a performance, with everypony watching! I'll have to make up an excuse not to go maybe I'll be sick, oh but I don't want to disappoint Rainbow Dash, maybe I'll..." All of a sudden, there was a crashing in the brush and before Fluttershy could react, a black cloaked pony slammed into her. She squeaked in surprise. When she regained her balance, she saw the black cloaked pony that that had slammed into her backing away in fear, only to crash into a rock. With nowhere to go, the cloaked pony scrunched himself into the corner and fell down cowering. With every cautious step Fluttershy made towards the mysterious figure, he seemed to get smaller and smaller. Fluttershy extended a caring hoof to the mysterious figure, and in return the black cloaked pony just pushed himself farther into the wall, breathing heavily. Fluttershy trying to assure the pony that she was not going to hurt him said softly, "Don't worry, I won't hurt you." a small squeak enunciated from the cloaked figure. Fluttershy, again, tried to reassure the cowering bundle of stallion and cloth. "It's Ok, I'm not going to do anything to you." Fluttershy backs away from the cowering pony, and a small rumble emits from the other pony's stomach. "Are you hungry? Do you want something to eat?" The other pony's breathing slows. "I have some of Pinkie Pie's leftover cupcakes." When Fluttershy opened her saddle bag, she could all most feel the other pony's panic rising. She also noticed the other pony was looking around, frantic to escape. Fluttershy gave a reassuring "It's ok, I won't hurt you." She slowly drew out the cupcake and handed it to the other pony, but was met with more flinching. Fluttershy set the cupcake a little ways away from the cloaked pony, stood back and turned around but kept watch out of the corner of her eye. The other pony quickly snatched up and greedily ate the cupcake, slowly putting down his layers of suggested defense but still keeping on high alert. Fluttershy slowly turned around and said, "there that's not so bad, my names Fluttershy what's yours?" at first the cloaked pony didn't respond then muttered something that Fluttershy couldn't make out "I'm sorry I couldn't quite hear you could you say that again?" the other pony muttered again looked at the ground and blushed slightly "Could you say that again?" repeated Fluttershy “My name is...my name is solar eclipse" said the other pony in a very quiet, meek voice "That's a very lovely name, so why are you moving to Ponyville? Where did you come from?" the other pony hesitated to answer debating whether or not to tell her "I...I'm... I'm not moving to Ponyville I'm just... stopping for a couple of days to take... to take a rest from traveling, you wouldn't know any good places to stay are?" Asked solar eclipse still in a quiet voice but starting to become more trustful "Oh no, we don't have any inn's in Ponyville" solar eclipse put his cloaked head down in disappointment "But you're welcome to stay at my house, if you like" Fluttershy gave a smile and solar eclipses head shot up and a suspicious expression crossed his face "Sure... by the way you can just call me eclipse... for short... if you want to" said solar eclipse, "But you're welcome to stay at my house is just down this way" As eclipse and Fluttershy started walking they heard a loud "FLUTTERSHY!!" Eclipse ears shot up under his hood and a panicked expression crossed his face, Fluttershy looked at eclipse and said "It's ok that's just my other friends" Just at that moment pinkie pie, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, and twilight sparkle rounded the corner pinkie pie suddenly stopped and a huge smile spread on her face Applejack, twilight and Rainbow Dash looked at her awkwardly, pinkies hoof shot out an pointed at eclipse the other ponies looked including Fluttershy, panic was filing eclipse as he started involuntarily backing away, Fluttershy realizing what was about to happen said "No, wait" then pinkie pie screamed "HEY THAT THE PONY I SAW THIS MORNING!!!" Eclipse was in full panic, pinkie was charging at eclipse franticly then Fluttershy screamed "WAIT!!!" At that pinkie pie tripped and skidded to a hault, and by this time eclipse was charging down the hill towards the refuge of the woods, Rainbow Dash seeing it was there last chance to catch the mysterious pony charged after him "Oh no you don't!!" Fluttershy dives and grabs Rainbow Dashes left hind leg, but not before rainbow can grab the hem of eclipse cloak with her teeth falling down and ripping the back off of his cloak reveling a dark brown all most black body and a set of wings, by the time rainbow had recovered eclipse was nowhere in sight, ranbowdash got up and turned on Fluttershy "What ya do that for!?" exclaimed Rainbow Dash in irritation and mild anger Fluttershy face got red and a VERY angry look crossed her face "What did I do that for... WHAT DID I DO THAT FOR... WHAT DID YOU DO THAT FOR!!! CHASING THAT POOR PONY, YOU PRACTIALY SCARED HIM TO DEATH!!!" At this point Rainbow Dash was cowering under Fluttershy's angry stair "Ok girls I think we all need to calm down now" said twilight Fluttershy whipped her head over to twilight, the other ponies started to back up Fluttershy got redder and redder until she looked like she was going to explode "CALM DOWN! I AM PERFECTLY CALM, HOW DARE YOU TELL ME TO CALM DOWN WHEN YOU JUST PRACTELY SCARED THAT POOR PONY TO DEATH, DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT TOOK ME TO EVEN GET HIM TO TALK TO ME" Suddenly Fluttershy realized what she was doing to her friends and landed on the ground and blushed in embarrassment at what she had said, the other ponies were clinging on to whatever they could find so they wouldn't get blow away by the volume of Fluttershy's voice "Oh...oh my, I'm Soooo sorry I didn't mean to scare you, I was just so angry I just...yelled" "Yea...ok...noted for future reference...don't make Fluttershy angry" said Rainbow Dash with slight nervousness and new respect for the shy Pegasus "Wow, you were so assertive Fluttershy it was just...wow" said pinkie pie in mild shock "Thank you" said Fluttershy with satisfaction "Well this has been just a crazy night I think it's about time we hit the hay" said Applejack yawning "I must agree" said twilight now yawning as well "Night y’all, see you in the morning" As all the ponies start walking to their houses twilight yells to Fluttershy "Hey Fluttershy! Wait up!" "Yes twilight?" "What did that mysterious pony say to you?" "Oh you mean Eclipse, he just told me he was only passing through just a traveler" "Oh ok, good night then" "Good night twilight" eclipse, chapter 3(Later in front of Fluttershy's house) "Oh dear that's disappointing he was just starting to talk to me" Suddenly a loud "phssssssst! Fluttershy!" interrupted her thoughts "Huh!? What!?" "Over here in the bush!" "Eclipse? What are you doing in there?" "Are those other mean pony’s gone?” “Oh them they went home" A black cloaked figure rose out of the bush a suddenly eclipse was standing in front of her "You must like bushes a lot you seem to be spending a lot of time in them" Fluttershy chuckled and eclipse blushed under his hood and nervously asked if he could stay with Fluttershy for a while "Yes of course, you can sleep in the guest bedroom, anything for a friend, it gets awful lonely sometimes" Angel made an irritated face and stamped his foot on the ground "Oh but I all ways have angel and my other animal friends to keep me company" Fluttershy smiled and chuckled then lead Eclipse into the house, after she shut the door Fluttershy turned to eclipse "Oh sorry about your cloak, Rainbow Dash sometimes gets carried away" Eclipse realizing that his cloak was torn started looking nervously around the room trying to hide his exposed flank so that Fluttershy wouldn't see "Oh... yea... that can be easily fixed, well...ah...good night" "Oh you’re sure you don't want some more to eat? Maybe a glass of water?" asked Fluttershy "Oh a glass of water would be nice" As Eclipse edged his way into the room so that only this cloaked head was sticking out, he smiled nervously "Ok I'll bring you some water" When Fluttershy returned carrying a tall glass of water with a straw, she found that eclipse was all ready asleep, Fluttershy walked up to the edge of the bed studying eclipse sleek body when she realized that something was wrong, at first she couldn't quit place it then she slightly lifted eclipse exposed wing then gasped and backed up in mild shock "He has no cutie mark!" she exclaimed softly, then hung her head in embarrassment as she realized that, that is why he was trying to hide himself "Well cutie mark or not he's still a pony that deserves our kindness, I should probably get his cloak repaired by Rarity" Fluttershy thought But when she removed his hood she tripped and fell on her back as she backed up again in shock "He has wings and a horn! And no cutie mark!" The crash of the nightstand suddenly awoke clips, realizing that his hood was off and cutie mark less flank was exposed he quickly pulled his hood and the bed quilt over his entire body as Fluttershy tried to explain "I was bringing you the water but you were all ready asleep so I was going to get you cloak repaired..." A small whimper came from under the quilt and eclipses soft voice uttered "You...you saw" "I was just trying..." A small sob came from under the quilt "I'm... I'm a freak, a weirdo, a no pony" "Now don't say that, you're just like every pony elts" Fluttershy said comforting as she gently pated the quilt where eclipse head was, she a felt flinch as her hoof touched the quilt "I'm a freak and you know it, stop lying" "You're not a freak your special you have things no pony elts has, your unique, one of a kind, an individual" said Fluttershy firmly Eclipsed pushed the quilt down just enough so that Fluttershy could see one teary eye, she smiled a pitying smile "Do...do you really mean it?" said eclipse meekly between sniffs from crying "Of course I mean it I would never lie to you, now climb out of there so I can repair your cloak" Slowly and cautiously the very blushing eclipse climbed out of the bed nervously, looking shifty as Fluttershy helped him take off the rest of his cloak when she got his cloak off She noticed lots of grey wedges down his body and legs and under his eyes and forehead contrasting his dark brown all most black body "Oh I didn't see those before, you have stripes" "Oh...yea" said eclipse a little more embarrassed "You won't tell anyone about...me right?" "No I won't tell but they will find out eventually" "Oh, ok... Fluttershy?" Fluttershy turned to look at eclipse, eclipse looked down embarrassed "Yes" "Um... is it ok if I were to um... maybe stay a few days longer?" Eclipse looked up at Fluttershy expectantly, Fluttershy answered emiditly “Why yes of course you can stay as long as you like" "Oh thank you very much for you kindness Fluttershy" "You're welcome; can I ask you a question?" "Yes of course" "Um why are you so scared of other ponies finding out?" Eclipse put his ears and his head down and replied quietly "Oh... well um...I'm afraid that they will... call me a freak and banish me from their town" and in an even quieter voice “Like the others." "What others?" Fluttershy asked questioningly "I'd rather not talk about it" "Oh ok... I understand, well I'm finished fixing up your cloak it's not great but it'll have to do for now I'll have Rarity make you up a new one in the morning, tomorrow is the first day of training for tornado duty" "What's tornado duty?" “it's when all the Pegasus's in Ponyville have to make a tornado that sucks the water up to cloudsdale so that cloudsdale can manufacture new rain clouds for all of equestria, personally I find the very idea very frightening" Eclipse shivered at the thought of having to make a tornado that powerful "All right Fluttershy, good night, and thank you again for you kindness, no pony has ever done this before for me" Fluttershy got a shocked look on her face as she said "Oh that's surprising...well good night solar eclipse" "Good night Fluttershy" said eclipse as the two ponies went to each of their bedrooms authors note: sorry if I haven't published any chapters recently I've been really busy lately, oh and if you find any typos or grammatical errors you must know that I'm not very good at writing and this is my first story and I'm terrible at spelling and grammar if it weren't for spell check you probably wouldn't be able to read this story.
