We Begin to Grow
Well another entry into my lost life. Here we go.
Well the next earliest memory was the summer before me and Fluttershy went into middle school. The years leading up from my last entry are to boring to tell you. Nothing really happened. Just a bunch of me and Fluttershy learning to fly. I had got it down but Fluttershy, not so much. The summer before middle school her parents sent her to flight camp.
"I....I'm scared Star" wimpered Fluttershy
"I know... but if you try really hard you won't have to comeback" I said to her "And if you get it down quick maybe you get to come home early"
"Really"
"Hopefully" I responded with a smile.
"Will you be here when I get back?"
"No... I'm gong down to Ponyville this summer. My family hasn't been there for a while."
"Ohh... okay"
The next day I left for Ponyville. I hadn't been there in years. I could barely remember it. My family landed down by my grandma's house. Like I mentioned she rarely stayed there. When we got unpacked I told my mom I was going out. She told me to be back before dark.
I left to go adventuring around. I walked into town. I thought of stopping by the libary to get a couple of books. But it looked like it wasn't open so I kept walking. I stopped by a place called Sugar Cube Corner. I walked in and was welcomed by a nice couple.
"Hello, I'm Mrs. Cake" said the blue one
"And I'm Mr. Cake" said the yellow one
"Hello" I replied to them
"If you need anything just ask" said Mrs. Cake
"Ok, thank you" I replied. I browsed for a while. Until I saw some really tasty cupcakes.
"I'd like to get 6 of the chocolate ones please"
"Ok, hold on" said Mr. Cake as he grabbed 6 chocolate ones and but them in a box for me. "That will be 14 bits please."
I went into my bag and grabbed the money out and handed it over the counter
"Thank you very much, and please come again" said Mr. Cake As I began to leave Mrs. Cake stopped me
"Umm are you new here?" she asked
"Sorta, my families summer home is here. We live on Cloudsdale. But my father thought it would be nice to come here for the summer. so he got his job switiched to Ponyville for the summer. Why do you ask?"
"Well it's just we know almost everypony here cause of our shop and we never saw you before. I thought some new ponies moved in."
"oh.. well my parents might stop by to buy some sweets. My mom loves cakes. So I'll tell her about here."
"Why thank you young stallion"
"No problem, talk to you later, bye"
"Bye" they replied in unison
As I left the shop I wasn't paying any attention to where I was going because I was putting the cupcakes away. I ran into another pony.
"Whatcha do that fo?r" came a filly's voice
"Sorry wasn't paying any attention where I was going I replied as I got up. When I looked at who I ran into my head did that thing that it did with Fluttershy all those years ago. She was orange with blond hair. No cutie mark either. She had a knapsack with her.
"Whatcha starin at" she said suddenly looking around her.
"Sorry" I replied quickly " Thought you were somepony I use to know"
:Oh well I've never seen you before so that's sorta of impossiable"
"Yeh.. oh I'm Bright Star by the way. Nice to meet you" I said with a smile
"I'm Applejack, where you from?"
"Cloudsdale"
"What are you doing here then?"
"My family stays here during the summer at my grandma's house. we haven't been here for a while so my dad thought it would be good idea to come here for the summer. How bout you?"
"Well I use to live on my family's farm but I want the high and fancy life style of Manehatten. So i'm going off to live with my Uncle and Aunt Orange"
"Well I hope you have fun"
"Well thanks"
We stood there for a moment in akward silence.
"Well I better get going. it was nice meeting you Bright Star"
"Like wise"
And with that she was off. As she was leaving I wondered if I was ever going to see her again.
I continued with my walk til I found a apple tree. They looked really tasty so I thought I'd go grab one. As I began to fly towards one a voice popped out of nowhere
"What do you think your doing?"
I looked around and I saw a red stallion looking over at me.He looked kinda mad so I soared down in front of him
"Well I was going to grab one of those tasty apples.Is there some sort of problem?"
"Yes there is. Those are Apple Familly Apples. Which means that you have to buy them before you eat them'
"oh.." I said with a suprise" This apple tree belongs to your family"
"Eyup. Everypony in Ponyville knows this"
"Well I'm new, just got here today"
His faced eased up a little. "Oh I'm sorry"
"It's cool. I'm Bright Star"
"Big Macintosh...... but most ponies call me Big Mac"
I stared at him and then something clicked " Do you have a sister called Applejack?" I asked
He looked down a kicked his hoof. His face looked between sad and angry" For somepony who just got here they sure know alot"
"Oh well I just met her on my way here. Accidently ran into her on my way out of Sugarcube Corner"
"Ah.. well I best get back to the house." he said as he began walking away. Noy addressing the issue
"Whoa wait up.. wanna hangout. "
"Why do you wanna hangout with me/"
"Well I'm new and don't got no friends here. You seem nice enough to be a friend."
"I don't know. I might have some chores to do. I gotta ask Granny Smith"
"Well let's go ask her"
Big Mac galloped back to the house while I flew there. Big Mac asked Granny if he could hangout with his new friend. He asked me to come in to meet his Granny. I went in and did the usual introduction. My name, why I was there Etc. Afterwards, Granny said it was ok for Big Mac to come play.We went out to the feild and told each other of ourselves. I told him what I liked to do in my spare time and my friends back in Cloudsdale. He told me of how life is on a farm.It seemed really tough. After a while I pulled out the cupcakes I bought earlier. I gave him some and me some.
"So?" I said as I finished my last cupcake"Whats up with your sister? Why did she leave?
He looked out the barn door "I don't know. She said that this life is boring and she wanted to live on the fancier side of the family" he looked a little mad at this.
"If she come back are you gonna talk to her"
"Well yeh she's family. Don't matter what she done"
After that conveersation I turned my head toward the window. It was getting dark. "Well I better get going. We should hangout again"
"Eyup"
I flew back home where I told my parents about my day and who I had have met.My mom was very intrested in the sweet shop. My dad looked at my like it was the end of the world after I told them about it.
After that the next 3 days were the same. I'd go to the farm and chill with Big Mac. Well the night of the fourth day when I got back home my parents had a present for me. It was a telescope. I was overjoyed. I loved looking out into the night sky. Unlike most pony's I actually like it. Whenever I heard the story of Nightmare Moon I always felt sorry for her. She justed wanted ponies to love her night sky. Well I loved it. I loved it so much, that night I stayed up and looked at the sky. Looking at the constellations and other things in the night sky.
When I woke up the next morning I had fallen asleep next to my telescope. My mom was there. She had a smile on here face
"Why are you smiling at me like that" i asked groggy
"Oh well, when you see it you will be smiling too"
"What do you mean?"
"Look down"
I looked down at my body . Right there on my flank was a cuite mark. It was a picture of the galaxy. It was in a swirl pattern and you could see a bunch of tiny stars making the swirl.I jumped up in joy. My mother was laughing at my exicment.
"Wait til Fluttershy sees.She's gonna freak"
"Well when your done oggiling your cutie mark come down stairs. I'll make you a special breakfeast. My big Stallion"
After that it was a pretty sweet day. My parents had become friends of the Cakes and when I showed them my cutie mark the gave me a special chocolate cupcake., I went over to Sweet Apple Acres after that. I showed my new friend Big Mac my cutie mark. He smile and said " Now your in the Big Stallion Club my friend"
I laughed at his joke. It was one of the greatest days I lived. in both lives.
Well after that exciment the next two weeks were fun. I helped Big Mac around the farm. And my some other friends also. One of these was called Time Turner. But insisted being called Doctor. Didn't know why, didn't really ask.. But in the middle of the third week something stranged happened. I was lying around a field by myself sorta nodding off and such until I heard a boom. I looked up and saw a explosion of rainbow. I stared up at the sky and wondered what it was. Part me wanted to go investgate. the other wanted to continue lying down. The lying down side one.
As I began to nod off again I looke towards the forest. And something yellow popped out the tree tops. I was to tired to stay up but I could swear it was Fluttershy. But that would be silly cause she was at flights school. So I shrugged it off as nothing.
The next day I went to go see Big Mac but was in for a suprise.
I walked up tp the farm when i noticed another pony there with Big Mac. It was his sister Applejack. As I got closer I noticed she had gotten her cuite mark since she left.
"What up. Big Mac"
Applejack turned when she heard my voice
"Ohh it's you, the pony that knocked into me..... Bright Bar right "Close.. Bright Star"
"Ah.. What you doing here?"
"Came to hangout with Big Mac"
"Y'all friends or something"
"Eyup" answered Big Mac.
"But if you want catch up with your sister, it's cool we got the rest of the summer to hangout"
"Ok then" replied Big Mac
"I'll go see what the others are doing, C'ya"
"Bye" said the sibilings
The rest of the summer I mainly hanged with AJ and Big Mac. When the day came for me to leave the Apple family threw me a farewell party. All my friends were their. It was a fun time. At the end I promised I'd come back soon to visit. Before I left I thought of something that I was meaning to ask for a while. I walked up to AJ and Big Mac
"Where are your parents?"
"Oh there helping another one of our family members. Their gonna be gone for six months. They left a month before you got here."
"Ahh ok. Sorry for asking I justed was wondering about it this entire time"
"It's cool" remarked AJ "Ain't know harm in asking"
After that I left and went home. All are stuff was packed for the trip tomomorrow.
We woke up early that day so my dad could get to work on time when we got back. It would be a week before school started. So I could go back to sleep when I got back. After my snooze I thought i would go see Fluttershy. I wanted to show off my cutie mark. So I began the trip to here house.
I said hi to my other friends on the way. Thunderlane was talking with Flitter. He waved to me and asked if I had a good summer. I gave him the quick version. Said I made new friends and got my cutie mark. I could tell he was jealous. I just showed him up in front of Flitter. I knew he liked her and him getting his cutie mark might have impressed her. So I waved goodbye to them and continued on my way. When I finally reached Fluttershys house I couldn't believe my eyes. She was flying. And not the kind of flying i saw her do before I left. She saw me and zoomed down. She tackled me in a hug.
"There you are" she said as she let me up"You will never guess what happened"
"Other than you flying I don't know" I replied
"I got my cutie mark" she said with so much joy as she turned sideways and showed me her cutie mark. It was a bunch of butterflies.
"No way you did too?"
"What do you mean 'You Too"
I turned to my side and showed her my flank. She gasp in exciment. We both told our stories of how we got are cutie marks. I was getting angry when she told me of the ponys making fun of her. She told me that somepony stood up for her when the made fun of her. A new friend she said did it. Well during this race she fell off a cloud. I was shaken when I heard that. But everything was fine. She landed on butterflies that helped her down. She told me of the rainbow explosion. I said I saw it as well. Well it turns out that the explosion scared the local animals and she coaxed them out of their hiding. Turns out her special talent was animals. I told her mine. I am not typing cause you know already. Well as i finished my story I heard a vocie coming up from above
"Fluttershy you home" said the voice. It sounded so familiar.
"Who's that?"I asked
"My new friend, come meet her. You two will get along so well." said Fluttershy.
Well that's the end of part two.
