The Spikes of Liberty

Ch.1 The Odd Little Pony

By Applejack

Once, there was a group of ponies who visited Ponyville. This group contained three yound colts, Liberty Spike, a pegasis with a brown mane put up in a mohawk and a green body, Pandora Fan, another pegasis with a red body and a black mane striped with red put to the side, than finaly, Sharkfin, an earth pony with a blue body and a darker blue mane. None of them had any clue as to where they were going, but they all knew it would be somewhere. One day, the stumbled upon the small town of Ponyville.

"So Liberty, think we should skip this town?" said Pandora, "No, i see potential in this one" said Liberty. the 3 young colts walked through town, "This place dosnt look good to me." said Sharkfin. they walked through the unsatisfying town, until they saw them. "Woah" they all said at the same time as they saw the residents exit their homes. It was a literal rainbow of ponies! Then they noticed that everypony was staring at the ragtag group of young ponies. "What are you staring at? Do i have something in my teeth?" said Liberty. Some ponies started to whisper, wondering where these three ponies came from.

"Well, i guess we ought to meet everypony we can!" said Sharkfin "Why bother, we are just going to have to move to a new town again" said Pandora "Well we might as well" said Liberty. "Hmmmmm.... I can see more than a few opporturnities for stunts here" said Sharkfin "Well, at least this town wont be a total failure" said Pandora.

"It seems like he has a broken wing, it will heal up if he spends some time in his bed" said the doctor, "Well kid, seems like you will be stuck in bed for a while, my name is Rainbow Dash!" "Well, my name is Liberty Spike.". Rainbow dash stayed with the colt for most of the time Liberty spent recovering. Most days were the same thing, Liberty and Rainbow exchanging stories about their stunts, until one day, the door opened, and it wasnt the doctor, it was mare with a light blue body and a yellow mane, and the most peculiar eyes.

"I heard somepony is down! So i brought you some muffins!" said the kind mare"Who are you?" asked Liberty, "You can call me Ms. Hooves!"  "Okay Ms. Hooves, thank you!"said Liberty "I hope you get better soon!" said Ms. Hooves, than she left. "Who was that?" asked Liberty "Oh, she is Derpy Hooves, she is the mailpony." said Rainbow Dash.

Once Liberty had recovered, he noticed that Pandora and Sharkfin were right outside the hospital waiting for him "So how did you get by?"asked Liberty "We just slept on benches, picked through trash, not much" said the other two colts "I feel bad for you two, a warm bed, three meals a day, it was the life!" said Liberty "Aw you are so lucky!" said Pandora

While they were walking around, Derpy flew along "Hey Mr. Liberty!" said the mare, "I have mail for you!", Ms. Hooves gives Liberty the letter "Maybe my parents got my letter!" said Liberty, then he opens and reads the letter, "My parents dont want me back" than Liberty begins to cry "Hey dont feel bad, You can stay with me!" says Derpy. Than Liberty looks at the mare, and throws himself into hugging Ms. Hooves, crying.

Ch.5 Them... again

By: Applejack

It had been three days since Scootaloo had made Derpy cry, but things were starting to calm down, but then there was a knock on the door, Liberty went to see who it was, much to his surprise, it was Doctor Whooves again, asking not for Ms. Hooves, but for Liberty himself. "So, what do you want?" asked Liberty "Well, i would just like for you to walk with me!" said the Doctor "That sounds.... nice..." said Liberty "Splendid! You shant bring anything, I have even packed a picnic for us to enjoy, and bond!" said the excited Doctor.

So Liberty and Doctor Whooves walked until they found a shady location under a tree, as Ponyville was quite hot with it being summer. Mr. Whooves laid out the picnic cloth, ant then proceeded to lay out the food, than Mr. Whooves proceeded to say "Well would you like to lead in saying grace?" with a delayed response from Liberty "Erm, I’ve never said grace before, but i have said prayers..." "Well, grace may be like your prayers! What do you pray about?" asked Doctor Whooves "Erm...." "Come on son! You can say anything to me!"

"Well, I prayed for my parents to come find me..." said Liberty "Oh, well at least I know that now, besides, I’ve known what it feels like to lose somepony too, but I really don’t want to go into details though, I doubt you would understand..” said Dr. Whooves, now starting to cry, “Why can’t I understand, because I’m not a doctor?!?!?” asked Liberty furiously “First of all I’m not even a doctor, second of all I don’t even fully understand my situation!” said Dr. Whooves, now starting to get furious himself.

Then, after their fight, Liberty and Dr. Whooves each went to their home, but Liberty noticed something, there were three silhouettes in front of his home, as he approached, he could make out who the three ponies were,the three ponies from earlier… again. “What are you three doing here, especially you?!” said the already upset colt, pointing at scootaloo “Hey Liberty, I’m very sorry about what I did a co-“ Scootaloo said before she got cut off by Liberty, “You know what?!? I’m not even going to deal with you three today!” than he pushed them out of his way and went into his home.

Ch.2 -Them

By Applejack

As the three colts walked through the town, still being stared at, trying to find the best stunt location posible. While doing this, Liberty was looking more at the occupants of the town than the spots of the town. The most notable to him was an orange filly with a purple mane accompanied by two other, doing stunts like what he was going to do himself, but he stopped from pure awe of how related they must be and soon his friends were long ahead of him.

Then, Sharkfin and Pandora noticed that Liberty wasnt with them, they looked aroundand noticed him behind them. Seeing this they ran back and said "What are you looking at Liberty?". Liberty was speachless, seeing the filly about to slingshot herself down a huge ramp. Pandora and Sharkfin looked where he was looking, and noticed the fillies and the slingshot. They stopped in the same nature as Liberty had.

After about twenty minuets of the fillies doing stunts, Sharkfin found it in himself to walk up to one of the fillies. He had his eyes on the unicorn with the white and blue mane. He found the courage to ask "Whats your name?" "My name is Sweetie Belle!" said the filly. That lead to Pandora finding it to introduce not only himself but also Liberty. "Im Pandora Fan and this is Liberty spike" "Im Applebloom and this is Scootaloo, nice to meat you!" said the filly. After that, they all lost confidence and sat there speachless as they had for twenty minuets already "Ummm, okay, bye!" said scootaloo.

"I think this town may not be useless after all!" Said Pandora. They wandered around a bit, tried to meet the important ponies, but to no avail, they got mostly idle stares and ponies asking to help them "What is going on with this place, why dosent anypony want to meet us?" said Sharkfin, "Maby because we havent bathed in weeks" said Liberty "Hmmm, we have been traveling for a very long time".

They sat around most of the time, until Liberty had a great idea than opend his rucksack and pulled out his beaten up helmet and bungie chord and decided to try the stunt that the three fillies had done. When they tried it, the chord snapped and Liberty fell like a rock with one loud crack and a long haunting scream heard all around ponyvillea mare with a cyan body and a rainbow maner came rushing to help whoever got hurt "What happened?" she said in a worried tone.

She scooped him onto her back and rushed him to the hospital, he was still screaming, making the mare lose her focus and she accidentaly dropped Liberty, but swooped down, scooping him up again. When they got there, she rushed inside with the colt in her arms and screamed at the top of her lungs in a demanding, assertive tone "Get this colt some help!", they rushed him into a room and started checking whats wrong while wheeling him into the room

Ch.4 Remembering, and Learning

By Applejack

Liberty went home with Ms. Hooves. When they got to the house, it was a pretty nice home! It had all the necesitied and more! "How did you get enough money to buy all this stuff being a mailpony?" asked Liberty, "well, i dont have anypony to buy things for, until now ive been quite lonley..." Ms. Hooves paused for a second, than started crying "Hey, dont worry, now you've got me, and ive got you!" said Liberty "Thanks, i needed somepony to cheer me up, and i guess you are just that pony!"

They went onto a hill, and just looked at the clouds, telling personal stories, laughing, crying and playing around! "Hey, wanna fly back home?" asked Derpy "Well, i kinda.... erm, cant fly." said Liberty, "Well dont worry, i will just fly you home!" said Derpy.

On the way home, Liberty felt the breeze on his wings, and remembered something, his parents trying to teach him how to fly "Either your going to fly, or your not going to be alowed to see your friends ever again" said Libertys father "Im trying as hard as i can dad!" said the young colt, "Well if you were trying hard you would already have gotten it down, now quit talking and start flying!" "You dont realy love me!" said liberty.

Liberty tried to disregard this on Derpys back, not noticing the tears rolling down his face, but these were both tears of joy and sadness, so he tried to get over it and enjoy the flight. Not knowing the mechanics of flight, he opened his wings, and zoomed off Ms. Hooves back, and out of fear he flapped his wings, as if to fight somepony, until he noticed he was flying.

When they got home, they had somepony waiting for them at the door, it was the purple maned pegasis, Scootaloo. "Hey Liberty, I heard that you were going to be living with... her..." said Scootaloo, than Derpy started crying, and ran into the house, "Hey! Dont be mean to Ms. Hooves again! She may not be perfect, but nopony is! How about you try and name somepony who is perfect!?!" said Liberty angrily "Im sorry, its just, we all shun her for being late on mail, and being clumsy" Scootaloo said in a meek tone "Do you know what you have done?!?! She has been lonely until i meet her! You idiot!" said the angry Liberty.

Scootaloo had been running away in fear by now. Liberty rushed in "Ms. Hoves? Where are you?". He followed the sounds of her crying, she was in a room he hadnt seen before, and asked "What is this?" Ms. Hooves was hugging a picture of a young filly "This used to be my sisters room, than there was an.... accident." said Ms. Hooves sadly "Oh, ive felt like one of my family members are dead, actualy two of them...

Ch.6 Generosity

By: Applejack

The day after the second fight, started as a normal day, except the fact that there was yet another knock on the door. “Who is it?” Liberty and Ms. Hooves said at almost the same time. “I just want to talk with somepony.” said the pony behind the door, and Liberty thought “Hmmmm, that voice sounds familiar somehow, oh please don’t let it be them again.” he slowly opened the door to see who it was, it was Rainbow Dash! “Oh, hey, I thought you were somepony else…” said the happily surprised Liberty “Hey pal, I’ve heard that you haven’t met anypony around here yet, so I have decided to introduce you to them one by one!” said the rainbow maned mare.

Liberty looked back at Derpy and she nodded, “Okay Ms. Dash, I will take you up on your offer!” said Liberty, starting to get excited to meet some new ponies. “Okay, I will show you to the most generous pony in Ponyville, Rarity!” said Rainbow with a response from Liberty of “Okay.”.

They walked through town, Liberty still getting stares, but not as many as when him and his two other friends were there, than he thought, “Hmmmmm, I wonder how Sharkfin and Pandora are doing right now.” Then he decided not to think about it too much. “Okay, here is her boutique, I will go in with you so that she knows that you are a friend.”. The door opened with a slight creak, and as soon as Liberty came in, he noticed a lot of dresses and clothes, and then he noticed that a pony with curly purple mane came rushing towards him, he flinched as she got close than she blurted out “Oh my word who does your mane, I’ve never seen a mane like that before!” “Um, I do it myself, why?” said Liberty “My dear that the most unique mane style I have ever seen!” she said as soon as he had finished speaking “Um thanks?” Liberty said, confused at this point “Oh my… what smells?” she said holding her nose “Oh that’s me, I haven’t bathed in weeks” said Liberty.

“This is my friend, Liberty Spike.” Said Rainbow Dash “Well my name is Rarity, it’s a pleasure to meet you!” Said the curly haired mare “The pleasure is all mine!” said Liberty.
