A pony sat on his couch with a sigh.

"Man, what a day I have ready for," This pony said, rubbing his tired eyes in complete boredom.

This ponies name is Thunder. He is a pony with some secrets from his life, and lives all alone. His parents left him here when he was 15 years old, and he never saw them again.

He's 20 years old, and he wore a white hat on the bridge of his hair. His hair was a mixture of brown and green. Thunder also wore glasses because his vision was horrifying and he could barely see anything without them on. His body was fit and pretty muscular. He wasn't like the idiotic jock ponies from high school who bully ponies cause of their strength. He is on the line of being not fat and being ready to show his fat. He had a little stubble growing on his chin, but he had sideburns for days that were brown around his whole cheeks. He wore some jeans but not a shirt, since there's no point in wearing one with how they are all ponies anyways.

His brown tail was wiggling about, trying to move and get free from it's little prison. When it did, it came out and shined in glory of it's freedom to wag about with nothing in it's way.

Thunder took his glasses off and rubbed his brown eyes once again to get them open and awake.

After that, he rubbed his chin and thought about what he needed to do today.

"I wonder what I need to do today?" He crossed his legs in a habit and tried remembering what he needed to do today.

"Well....let's see. I brushed my teeth, took a shower, woke up in the morning, cleaned the house, made the floor better, washed my face, put my deodorant on and...." He trailed off with a light blush.

"Did my business....."He said to himself quietly.

He shook his head and looked at his clock.

"It's....12 PM? Wow. Didn't I wake up at like 8?" Thunder asked himself in confusion and awe.

Thunder shrugged.

"I'm gonna go to the store. I think I need to get some stuff and I don't want to be stuck in this house," Thunder exclaimed, standing up.

Thunder left his home, making sure to lock it on the way out and adjusted his wings to make sure they didn't get stuck in the door. Again.

He doesn't usually fly unless it's something important, so he just decided to take a jog and walk to the store.

So he came up to the most stupidest store ever, but since it's the only place in Ponyville. He decided to go there.

To......'Ponymart' (The pun is bad with this one.)

Thunder always shakes his head in disgust at seeing this store and name.

"Why does this place exist?" He muttered to himself in anger.

He saw a lot of other ponies walking in, and hated the fact of still getting the short stick.

You see, everypony here in Equestria are over 8 ft tall. But Thunder? Not him. Somehow, his genes weren't able to make him that tall. He was only able to get up to being 6 ft tall before being done.

He rolled his eyes in annoyance.

"Why do I get the short stick but everypony else don't?" He asked himself, getting tired of this.

Thunder stopped thinking about it, and went inside to go get his stuff that he needed.

"This height thing is still gonna get on my nerves," He added quietly, hating the fact that he always heard snickering or giggling whenever he went anywhere.

He muttered profanity throughout the time he was in the store. Before he left though, he bumped into some pony and fell onto the floor.

"Ouch! Hey! Why don't you watch where you going?!" Some scratchy voice said in annoyance.

"I wasn't the one that ran into you! You ran into me!" Thunder replied back, looking at this pony.

To now know that it wasn't a pony. It wasn't a pony at all. He widened his eyes to see a purple dragon that was his height! Somepony that he could relate to? Hay yeah! This purple dragon widened his eyes as well when he saw Thunder.

"Woah! A pony my height?! I thought I'd never see the day!" This dragon exclaimed with a smile.

Thunder blinked and asked, "Who are you?" Politely.

"My name is Spike! It's nice to meet you!" Spike said, holding his clawed hand out.

"Sorry for bumping into you earlier. I was thinking about some stuff," Spike apologized, rubbing his hair in regret.

"It's okay. I forgive you," Thunder said.

Thunder rose his eyebrows at what Spike said.

"Some stuff? What stuff?" He asked him nicely, pretty curious about what he meant.

"Some stuff Twilight wants me to do," Spike sighed tiredly.

"Twilight? Who's that?" Thunder asked curiously.

"Oh! That's the princess of Magic! She's a friend of mine, and she wanted me to come here to get some important ingredients," Spike explained tiredly.

"Really? That's.......weird," Thunder replied, wondering why Spike came by himself with no help.

"Why did nopony come help you?" Thunder asked, raising his eyebrows inquisitively.

"Because all her friends are doing something important and she said that I need to get out more," Spike replied, rolling his green eyes annoyingly.

"Well that kinda makes sense. Need to come out of the house for some fresh air every now and then!" Thunder exclaimed, smiling.

Spike nodded.

Then....awkward silence.

Spike and Thunder looked everywhere but each other for a few seconds, and then Thunder asked Spike something important.

"Want me to help you get those ingredients?"

Spike smiled and replied, 'Of course!"


And that started a great friendship between Spike and Thunder.  They started doing a lot of things together. Doing pranks, making jokes, playing games and everything. Thunder got to meet Spike's other friends named the CMC or Cutie Mark Crusaders.

He got to know who they were in separate order, even though they were all trying to hold their excitement in for another friend.

He got to meet Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo, and Applebloom all in single order. Even though they were having a hard time trying to stop talking so fast that Thunder can't understand them.

He learnt that Sweetie Belle was Rarity's sister, and she told Thunder that Spike had a huge crush on Rarity. He knew how obvious it was when Spike talked about her.

He notices hearts showing up in his eyes and how his voice goes into some dreamy state when Spike talks about her.

Thunder rolled his eyes at this obvious thing, but decided to keep it a secret since Spike thinks nopony knows about his crush.

Scootaloo, a friend of Sweetie Belle and Applebloom had little wings and purple hair. She was pretty cute and adorable. But she was trying to hard to be like a tomboy and be brave and smug about some things that she talked about.

Thunder just teases her about it and she turns into an adorable mess of shyness.

Applebloom, unlike the others was the most interesting to Thunder.

She had a country accent, and a cute little bow-tie on her head, and golden yellow eyes. She just looked so.....adorable! Thunder wanted to hug her and everything. But he didn't want to seem weird to her, so he tried holding back his dawness and introduced himself to the CMC.

When he learnt about Applebloom having a sister, he wondered how amazing she could be from how Applebloom was like to him. For one, he has never met such nice mares in his life. He never got to know how his mom was like, she always worked and would always leave before Thunder even got to say hi to her.

Thunder was getting used to his new things in life, but what he wasn't expecting was Spike to come over to his house one day and ask him a question that would change his life forever.


Around 4 months later......

Thunder was on his couch once again, but this time he was snoring off, not caring about the outside world.

Then he heard knocking at his door and he bolted up.

"What?! Who?! Where?! Oh, it's just the door," He said, almost freaking out. In fact, he freaked out so much his wings stiffened and he almost fell on the floor in shock.

He walked up to the door, when he wings were down, and opened it to see an unsure looking Spike at his doorstep,

Thunder smiled.

"Sup Spike? What are you doing here of all places?" He asked curiously, raising his eyebrows in a curious manner.

In Thunder's eyes, Spike gulped and grew a worried gaze on his face.

"My friend Twilight asked me to come and get you. She wants to meet you and her other friends are curious about you as well," Spike explained worryingly.

"Your friends want to meet me?" Thunder asked, confused.

Spike nodded and whispered something that Thunder didn't hear "The Princesses want to meet you as well....".

Thunder shrugged.

"Eh. I have nothing better to do. Why not?" He said, walking out and shutting his door. With his wing getting stuck. His eyes widened.

They were still stiff..... He thought to himself in annoyance.

Some silence grew.

Then....."AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! BUCK! MY WING! AGAIN!" Thunder yelled in pain.

"This is a good sign of things to come I see," Spike muttered to himself sarcastically with a wince.
