PROLOUGE

As the alarm clock buzzes, Silver Sceptere grunts and smashes the snooze button. After about two minutes lying in bed he finally opens his hazel colored eyes. The first thing he sees is the ceiling fan, slowly spinning. He puts his hoves down on the newly laid bed sheets and pushes himself up and to the side of his bed, throwing the covers aside. He sits there for a couple seconds staring at the white cloud shaped birthmark on his back right leg then looks up at his desk by the window. It is covered in boxes labeled bedroom, which is usual for a pony who just moved to town. As he sits there at the side of the bed he realizes he doesnt have to report to work for the next two weeks. He lets out a big grin and giggles, waking his cat sleeping in his kitty condo. He doesn't notice his yawning cat staring at him and heads to the bathroom. He flicks on the light and turns on the sink. After splashing himself with water a couple times he looks up and stares at the orange colt staring back at him in the mirror. He picks up his hair brush noticing that hes got a bad case of bed head. After he styles his lusious brown hair he looks back up at himself and gives himself an ego boosting pep-talk.

"Aw, yea! Today is going to be great." he says to himself with a smug look plastered on his face.

"I'm going to have some fun tonight."

He's talking of course about the party this mare Pinkie Pie is throwing at the center of town. The invitation he got in the mail said everypony was invited, and he hopes it is just as good as Nightmare Night 2010. Music, food, and fun party ponies, like himself, but the party started at nine tonight, so he is gonna try to make some new friends before the party.

His cat Shorty hopped up onto the counter in the bathroom and meowed as loud as he could.

"Aw, I love it when u meow." He says as Shroty rubs up agains him.

"I'm guessing you're hungry"

Shorty hops off the counter and heads for the kitchen. Septere follows behind the hungry cat expecting to throw some waffles in the toaser before he pours cat food in the cat's dish.

After a couple of hours watching TV and washing up. He exits his apartment and heads into town.

Window Shopping

Silver Sceptere exits his apartment and is greeted by the mid morning sun. He squints his eyes until the can regain their conrol. He continues down the street toward the Central Marketplace. As he walks through the isles of vendors hes picks several items up he needs to make his dinner for tonight.

Meanwhile, Fluttershy is moving a family of ducks across the street when one of the ducklings finds ifs way into Sceptere's saddlebag. When he motions to put a bottle of pasta sauce in his bag, he notices a duckling in there huddling in fear.

"Now lets see if every little duck is accounted for." Fluttershy says in a quiet voice as usual.

"Oh no were's the fifth duckling." Fluttershy gasps

"Um, exuse me miss, I noticed your moving a family of ducks when this little guy hopped in my bag." Septere said

"Oh goody you found..."

At that moment fluttershy got lost in Septere's hazel eyes and started blushing

"Oh my, he's so... ...handsome." Fluttershy thinks to herself.

"I don't mean to bug you, but this little cutie was just about to get into my celery."

Septere begins petting the duckling untill it starts peeping, loudly.

"I love animals, all kinds, but nothing comes close to my little kitten back at home. Well here you go."

He sets the duckling down next to its parents

"Goodbye now." he says as he trots off.

"He's handsome and he loves animals, he's absolutely perfect." she thinks to herself again.

Sceptere now finished with the Marketplace, he now need to head to a clother to get some "sick kicks" and some styleish city boy clothes, so one of the vendors told him to go to Carosel Boutique. On his way he notices a little filly known as Apple Bloom, looking down surounded by books at the Ponyville Cafe. He then moves toward her.

"Whats wrong little filly?" he says in a comforting voice

"Ma teacher Miss Cheerly assigned us confusing algebra homework on the quadratic formula, and I dont know how to do it without messing up the equation." Apple Bloom says

Over at the next table Twiligt Sparkle and her assistant spike are having lunch. Twilight looks over at Sceptere and turns back quickly and blushes.

"Oh my word, he looks so good." Twilight thinks to herself

Spike is too preoccupied with his hay fries to notice Twilight acting all lovestruck. She peers over the back of her chair to stare at his eyes.

"Well you know, my old algebra teacher taught me a song to remember the quadratic formula..." sceptere says before clearing his throat.

"Negative B plus or minus the squareroot of B squared minus four times A and Times C, all over 2 times A." sceptere sings

After a minute of both of them solving the equation on their own the answer finally appears.

"So is the answer (3,7)?" Apple Bloom says prepared to be corrected.

"Thats correct! Think you can remember that song?"

"Absoluteley! Thanks mister!"

"No problem kiddo. Stay in school."

"Bye Mister!"

"He's good looking and he's smart, he is without a doubt perfect!" Twilight thinks to herself.

"Whats got you so googley eyed Twi?" Spike asks

After several minutes of walking through town asking for directions he finally makes it to the boutique, and enters the door.

"Welcome to Carosel Boutique how may I-I-I..."

Rarity stutters and stares at him.

"Yeah, Hi I'm wondering if you have any City style clothes."

"Oh my, he is Gourgeous" Rarity mumbles to herself.

"Why...um...ovcourse, over here."

"Great."

After trying on a few outfits he buys a baggy pair of jeans and a graphic tee.

"By the way your outfit looks amazing, what is it French Coture?"

He is ovcourse talking about the homeade ensemble she is wearing.

"Um...yes...its just something I threw together."

"The stitchwork is barely noticeable, it looks like one solid piece, nicely done."

"Why...um...thank you kindly."

"No problem well, see you around."

"Sweet Celestia, he's Stunning and he has a taste for fasion, he's absolutely perfect."

Septer then heads home to make his dinner and get ready for the big party tonight.

Party Time

As Silver enters his apartment, he sighs and walks to the kitchen to put his groceries away. He can't help but feeling homesick. He trots over toward his window and looks down upon the small town of Ponyville. He realizes he misses the exitement of New Colt City. Silver didn't quite live on the island of Manehattan, but he lived relatively close in the port city of Hornboken. Memories of sitting on the rocks of the Manehattan Sound buzzed through his head. He would sit in his special spot along the breakwater while cargoships and ferries passed by. As long as he had his sketch book and his MP3 player, there was not a care in all of Equestria that could stress him out. That is until last summer.

His daydream into the past was suddenly interupted by a knock at the door. He opened his oak door to find a piece of paper sitting on his doormat. He picked up the piece of paper and brought it in. He lied it down on the countertop and read... "I saw you trying to take my girl so watch yourself." He pulls back in shock. Who did he meet and what could he have done to piss off somepony enough to write a threatening letter.

That somepony isn't a pony at all but a dragon. After the whole incident at the cafe with Twilight, Spike secretly followed him to the Boutique and saw Rarity fall head over hooves for him.

Well whoever it was it doesn't matter now cause he spent over a half an hour daydreaming and will be late to the party. He grabs an apple out of the fridge, throws the letter into the trashcan, and heads out the door once more.

After finishing his apple he spots Macintosh struggling to keep two apple barrels on his back. As they start to tip over, Silver runs in and helps him out.

"Whoa there! You need any help?" silver says in a helpful tone.

"Eyup" Big Mac grunts as his back feels like crumbling.

Silver takes one of the barels and starts alongside Mac.

Applejack waits at the orchard wondering were the hay big mac is. Then she sees big mac carrying only one barrel on his back.

"Mac! Did you leave the other barrel sitting at the cart in town?" applejack says angrily

"Nope"

He moves to the side as silver comes in and drops the second barrel right in front of AJ. She looks up at Silver and gasps softly.

"Welp, I better be on my way, nice meeting you Mac." he says as he streches out his back.

"Eyup, and thanks."

Applejack runs behind the barn and whispers softly to herself, "A charming fellow and a hard worker, the hay has he been all my life."

Silver hears the subwoofer booms in the distance and gasps.

"Crap! The party!"

Silver kicks into high gear and starts sprinting into town.

Meanwhile, Rainbow Dash cleared the last clouds out of the sky and looked down toward town and sees some thing she never sees. An Earth Pony moving at fast speeds. She moves closer for a better look. Shes shocked at what she sees. An Earth Stallion with dreamy eyes was moving at fast speeds. As she looks on in awe, she hits a light post. Rainbow gets right back up and thinks "Fast, Cool, Awesome, and ... Dreamy! Thats all I need to know!"

He finnaly makes it to the party and is supprised he can just walk in, usually there would be some sort of security at the front, but i guess that only happened at the clubs in the city. He walks aroundand finnaly makes it to the dance floor. He starts dancing casually in the crowd of hundreds. About a half an hour later the music suddenly stops. Vynl Scratch is at the Dj booth frantically trying to figure out what happened, she stops and says...

"Sorry everypony, the booth is busted."

The crowd awwes in disapointment.

"Hey, dont leave there is still food and games" Pinkie Pie says from atop a table."

Suddenly the music started up again. Silver snuck into the Dj booth and plugged in his MP3 player into the speaker system.

"C'mon now everypony dance."

The crowd screams and rushes back to the dance floor.

Pinkie then notices Silver stepping out of the Dj booth and stops in her tracks.

"Ti'll the break of dawn ya'll!" Silver screams as he stage dives into the crowd of ponies.

As Silver is set down he starts dancing again.

"He's perfect..." Pinkie says "...He saved my party, and he's great looking!"

At about 4 in the morning everypony started heading home, as did silver. As he made it into his apartment he goes to his bedroom and plops down on his bed. "Best party ever!" he says as he drifts into sleep.

The Picnic

The next morning the girls meetup for their weekly picnic outside town. the first ones there are twilight and spike to set everything up nice and perfectly. Spike laid down a tray of cupcakes and turned to twilight.

"Hey Twi?" he asked

"What is is?"

"Do you think im good looking?"

Twilight smiled "Oh Spike, you are the cutest, of course you are."

Spike didn't respond.

"Spike? Are you okay?"

"No, Twilight, I'm not."

Twilight reaches out for spike and hugs him

"Spike you know you can tell me everything. So whats the problem."

Spike pulls out of Twilights hug.

"When I went for a walk yesterday, I followed the one colt who you were staring down at lunch yesterday."

Twilight pulls back in embaressment.

"Oh, hehe, you saw that?

"Yeah I did, and its perfectly normal."

Twilight smiles akwardly.

"Anyways, he stoped in at Rarity's boutique and I watched her fall madly in love with him. How could she forget about me so quickly!? Spike eyes started watering

"WHAT?!?!" Twilight screamed knocking spike down in shock.

"Who the hay is screaming over here?" Applejack shouts as she and the others come out from over the crest of the hill.

Twilight picks up spike and looks him dead in the eye. "Not a word about this to the others." she whispers softly.

The seven sit down for an early lunch and catch up from the previous day.

"So Fluttershy, anything exiting happen yesterday?" Rarity asks

"Well ... uh ... actually something did hapen yesterday."

Rainbow Dash expecting another "riviting" tale about the flying squirels takes a sip of water.

"I met the stallion of my dreams yesterday."

The group gasps, and Rainbow Dash spits out her water towards Rarity.

"Gah! My hair!"

"Oh! My! GOSH!! Fluttershy! Has a BOYFRIEND!?!? Rainbow Dash screams

Fluttershy blushes "Well ... hes not actually my boyfriend, I just got lost in his glowing brown eyes. He has beautiful brown hair, and a gourgeous dark orange compexion."

"Wait, hold your story there sugarcube." Applejack exclaims "That sounds an aweful like the fellow I fell in ... uh ... I mean met yesterday."

"That also sounds like the fine fellow that came into the boutique yesterday." Rarity says wringing the water from her hair.

"I met a ... nice guy like that at the cafe, yesterday." Twilight adds

"My party would be a bust if it wasnt for that beautiful ... uh ... MP3 your crush had." Pinkie says

"Wait that sounds like my boyfriend!" Rainbow Dash says in an obviously un truthful tone.

"Well I guess hes new in town." Spike adds

"I guess I better get going now" Twilight says

They rest of the group says goodbye to eachother and headed in opposite directions.

"Oh no, the rest of the girls already know about him. What should I do" Twilight thinks to herself

Later that morning Silver gets the mail and notices more mail than usual. Six letters with no return adresses and a letter he has been dreading for awhile. He goes back to his apartment and reads the unmarked letters first. They all say meet me tommorow, but at different locations. He decides to clear his schedule tommorow, and see what these anonymous people want. But that isnt what he is worried about the letter he doesn't want to open is from the Manehattan Memorial Hospital. He exhales preparing for bad news.

Manehattan Memorial Hospital

June 30, 2012

Dear Mr. Sceptere,

We are sorry to inform you that after one year of struggle, your parents, Rose (Petal) Sceptere and Golden Sceptere, have both passed away at 6:31 PM and 7:01 PM (Eastern Equestrian Time) on June 30, 2012. Cause of death is known as heart failure. The wounds were too large to heal on their own and as a result causing the depressureasation of the blood vessels. We have done everything in our power to, help but in the end it just was not enough.

Sorry for your loss

Sincerely, Dr. Heart Beat

Silver drops to his knees and drops the paper and begins to sob.

He wasn't even there.

He never got to say goodbye.

He will never see them again.

Silver drops all the way to the floor. The pain was too much too handle. He can't stop but go back to that fateful day, sitting on the edge of the water, looking towards the city, right before the infamous Manehattan explosion that Celestia and the Equestrian Council have kept from the public ever since that fateful day...
