The Legendary Pony

"Ok, now," an old man’s voice read "once upon a time, in a land far, far away, there was a creature not of this planet, as this story doesn't start on this planet, it starts on one so far, it would take 3 light years to reach. Some higher raced ponies would call this sector 13, but we just refer to it as Earth."

There is a hospital with a woman screaming in it, there are doctors surrounding the screaming woman, she is holding onto a male's jacket sleeve, squeezing it to relief some of her pain as she is giving birth. "Almost there honey, just push!" The male said, telling her and stroking her with his thumb.

A sudden crying happened and the doctors lifted a baby.

"It's a boy!" He said, then cut the umbilical cord and hand the baby to the mother.

She panted as she went through a lot of work to get the baby out, but also thought of a name. The man peaked at the baby, it opened its eyes and looked at the man, then looked at the female, they both smiled at him.

"Let's call him Carino." The mother said.

Years later, when he was in primary school, Carino walked into his school, he was late for lesions.

"Oh, hello there, overslept?" The teacher asked with a soft, gentle voice.

"No miss, the car broke down when we started the engine so we had to call a taxi." He replied.

"Well, I guess that's reasonable." The teacher replied. Carino hung his bag and coat up and sat down on the floor next to someone he never saw in his life, he looked like he was from Asia.

Carino whispered in his ear "I'm Carino. What's your name?"

"Andrew." He whispered back, his accent was American.

"Cool, want to be best friends?" Carino replied, Andrew nodded, they both smiled.

During break time, Andrew and Carino are talking on a bench, and then Andrew notices an apple tree nearby.

"Bet you can't get one of those apples." Andrew challenge.

Carino looked at him and said "You're on!”

Carino gets up and walks to the tree, he then looks at the closest apple and jumps for it, but can't reach it, he tries many times and then gives up. Someone then picked the apple from the tree, it was a teacher, and he then ate the apple and smiled at him.

"It was a good try kid, but maybe you should do it when you're a bit, well, taller." The teacher then turned and walked off, continuing to eat the apple.

Carino looked at the tree and then kicked it, mad about his height.

He then heard a thump on the floor. He looked down and saw nothing but an apple. Then another thump, and another, and another, until all the apples had fell. He looked at them all and picked up one, he then smiled and walked up to Andrew, who was surprised.

"How… how did you do that?" He asked.

"I don't know, I just did, it's like asking how I know 10x10 is 1000 even though I suck horribly at maths." Carino replied.

Andrew looked at the floor for a minute, then looked at Carino "But isn't that the right answer?" He asked.

The both looked a little surprised and then walked over to a little sand area.

Andrew grabbed a stick and drew out the question to find out if Carino was correct, and his eyes widened with surprise.

"I didn't even know that… but… how come I did?" Carino asked

"I don't know, but I hope you do well in math tests, this stuff could get you into Harvard." Andrew said.

"What's Harvard?" Carino asked, Andrew looked at him in surprise.

"My mom told me about it... she said that I will need to concentrate hard in all my schools and work really hard, then I can go to Harvard and get the best jobs of all time." Andrew said

*

Years later, when Carino was in high school, he had new friends and Andrew was just a mere memory and started to grow a little disliking for his high school friends due to reasons.

"Your parents call you Carino but yet you're the ugliest mother bucker I've seen." Said a brown haired person sat on his table.

Carino put his palm on his face and said "Kyle, if I had a penny for everytime you said that, I'd have £5.02 Pence… more or less."

Oh, I forgot to mention something, I'm Carino.

"Oh wow, you can do maths, now why not get the money you have go get a blow job from your brother, oh yeah, because you're poor! Get a job and earn that money! And while you're at it, come out the closet already."

"Kyle, I'm not gay, so stop saying I am, it's not an insult and you came out the closet a month ago."

"Yeah, but you haven't."

"That's because I'm not gay."

"Then why did you watch Powerpuff Girls as a kid? Huh? I bet you’re in love with them!"

I had no words, I just got a knife from out the air and held it out towards Kyle, everyone stopped eating and stared, even Kyle was surprised, but hid it.

"I swear if you call me gay one more time I will kidnap you in your sleep, wake you up, make you suck yourself, slowly and painfully get all your insides, get a cup of flour and add you to the mix and make you a cupcake…"

"You're g-"

before Kyle could finish his sentence, Carino slammed the knife onto the table in between Kyle's fingers.

"want to finish that…?" I asked darkly, there was no response, I grinned and put the knife away.

"Good. Now, don't dare say it behind my back, because I'll know you said it."

Afterwards, I went back to eating his lunch. After lunch was over, he walked into the corridor and suddenly passed out.

I woke up in the nurse’s office.

"Oh, good, you're awake, unfortunately you missed the bus, and your family is busy, so you'll have to take some independence and walk or take a bus home. Now, pupils can get a little bit disorientated when waking up after passing out, we have no idea why you passed out from it, but anyway, we're going to have to test you before letting you leave." the nurse said, getting a notepad with exorcise a to do to orientate the body.

After doing the tests, she let me leave. I walked out of the school and tried to use my memory to try and walk home, but then I slowly looked behind me and saw Kyle running to me at full speed, I quickly started running, but knowing that he could easily catch up as I was a slow runner. I kept running, trying to get away, I could feel the wind on my face, hear my back pack rustling from the contents inside rustling, I then noticed that I was running really fast, I only noticed because I saw cars going up 30 miles per hour cars look like they're parked, but also moving, I then tried to stop but…

"In other news, a sonic boom happened right outside an alleyway in East Street today, 137 people were injured from broken glass and 168 babies are in hospital from their ears being burst. 250 car alarms went off and 75 airbags activated as well. We go to Fred Pamin reporting the scene. Over to you Fred."

"Well, what we're seeing here is something extraordinary, as the sonic boom apparently went off on the ground, when normally it is from the sky, what makes this ground sonic boom different though is that there's a rainbow-ish fire that shows the path of where it went. When I was interviewing some people, I found that some recorded it and have already uploaded it to YouTube, and by the looks of it, it was a teenager running at around (insert sound barrier here). You can also see how far the boom spread as the damage done just goes on for miles and miles and miles, the person responsible will be put into high security and then dissected so see how they did it. Fred Pamin, Sky News."

I started slowing down in speed, and then lost my balance as I slowed down and fell down just near the edge of the grassy field I was running on.

I looked up and saw someone who had orange and red hair and orange eyes, she had a orange shirt and skirt on too. The shirt had an image of a red and orange Yin Yang symbol with fire around it, orange on the left side and red on the other.

"Well, that was awesome; I'd give you a 10 if the dismount wasn't ruined by you losing balance. 7/10." She said as I rubbed my head. I got up and his face slightly, staying quiet. "Shy type huh? I get that a lot." She said, trying to relax me. "Come on, you must be able to talk to me. Hey, you know what you did was physically impossible, right?" She said, finally managing to get me to talk.

"That's insane… by the speed I was going, my skin should have been peeled off my body… how come it's still here…?" I asked.

"How come you're complaining? Oh, where are my manners? I'm Sunset Simmer, you?" She introduced, I got up and brushed my jacket, then realised that my clothes ripped completely off from the speed, not only that, but I had lots of cuts and was bleeding slightly. Oddly, Sunset Shimmer had some plasters (aka band aids) and other medical items to wrap on me. She still looked into my eyes.

"You don't have to cover it up, where I come from, everyone is naked, I only put clothes on because that sight is for someone I really love." she said.

"I bet there's a lot of bullying about size…" I said

"Nope, everyone seems to not give a buck as we see it all the time. Hey, wanna come live there with me? I'm only here on holiday." Sunset asked, while escorting me home.

"Well… I don't know… I mean… what about my family?"

"They'll be fine, there's only one reason why I'd choose someone to come to my area, and no, it's not because I like you."

"And my friends?"

"Well, you can spend one more day with them, and then decide whether or not you want to come with me." Sunset said, and then walked back to her house across the street.

In the classroom the next day, around 12:00 during art, there was a short haired person with glasses who was bummed out, he held a hand on his head and had a pencil in another, he didn't do anything else.

"Shane, are you ok?" The teacher asked.

"Yes Mrs… just a little bummed out…" Shane replied.

I looked at Shane, somehow standing on the ceiling upside down, I opened my mouth and started singing

♫

"When you're rife with devastation

there's a simple explanation

you're a toy makers creation

trapped inside a crystal ball

now whichever way he tilts it

know we will stay resilient

we won't let them break our spirits

as we sing our silly song!

when I was a little filly

a galloping blaze overtook my city

so they shipped me off to the orphanage

said 'Ditch those roots if you want to fit in.'

so I dug a thousand holes and cut a rug with orphan foals

now memories are blurred and their faces are scarce

but I still know the words of this song!

When your bungles have be bangled

and your loved ones have been mangled

just listen to the jingle jangle of my gypsy tambourine,

'cause these cords are hypnotising

and the whole world's harmonising

so children stop your crying and just sing along with me."

♫

I looked around, I saw that everyone was looking at me, I had no control of what I did, realising I had sat down in my chair after walking around the room on ceiling, wall and floor.

"9.8/10, the blushing ruined it slightly and you got some of the notes wrong. Good effort though, you're close to impressing me, and no one has ever done that." Sunset Shimmer said, standing in the doorway, I looked at her.

"What are you doing here Sunset?" the teacher asked

"Just heard singing and decided to listen in." Sunset said.

Years later in college, I was working in class, designing dresses for some reason, I don't really know why. I decided to put them into my game, as I was doing a gaming course.

"No, doesn't suit her. Green is not her colour. Needs a tiny bit more sparkle and I might let her wear it. Oh my stars! She's beautiful in that one!" I said, putting different dresses on different player models. Sunset Shimmer then knocked on the door and entered.

"Hey, Kate, could I please have some designs for dresses? I need one for a party I'm going to." she asked.

"I can't make dresses, I'm a game designs teacher, but Carino has been drawing designs for dresses coincidentally, and he's finished all his work, maybe he could help you." Kate suggested.

I put my head up and looked to the teacher, "Wait, me, make a dress? In just four days? Oh no no no no no no, I can't just simply make a dress, it has to suit to person wearing it and the occasion first. But sure, I'll help." I accepted.

"Good, come on, I'll need you immediately." Sunset said. I looked at Kate for approval of my leaving; she nodded before I said a word. I just left with Sunset.

I was escorted out of school and into Sunset's house, but I remained outside the house.

"What's wrong?" Sunset asked

"I'm not entering the house… stranger danger…" I said in response.

"Oh, I don't have time for this! Just enter!" Sunset replied, and dragged me in, then slammed the door. She dragged me upstairs into a room with a round mini table in the middle of it, lots of fabric around the side of the room and a mannequin at the side of the room, she closed the door and locked it.

"Now… no one can enter the room as the door is locked and I'm not going to do anything against your will, now help me make a dress." Sunset said in frustration, getting onto the table in the middle of the room. She took off her shirt and her skirt, a white swimwear type suit was revealed from under it "Now, begin.”

I stood there, just staring, I didn't know what to do.

"Um… well… let's start with an interview first… what do you like? Favourite colours?"

"Red and orange and I like masks, things that look cool and this symbol." She said, pointing to the symbol on her shirt.

"Anything else?" I picked up a piece of paper and started drawing "Nope, that's enough. I'll ask anything if I come up with questions later." I brought up.

I drew a nice looking dress that was red and had orange ribbons connecting the gloves and the dress together, I also put orange ribbons on the skirt area, it looked like a dress made of fire. I also added in the symbol on the front of the dress, the back hands of the gloves and then put it on the mask, which was dark blue with a white stripe in between the eye holes, red outlines for the top edge of the eye holes that extend off the mask. The top of the mask has some clouds with a sun setting on both sides of the mask, with bubbles also on both sides of the mask. And at the top, was the symbol Sunset asked for.

I showed her the drawing, she examined it.

"You know… this is really… really…" she started

"Horrible? Unacceptable? Greatly disappointing? Shocking beyond belief?" I asked, she opened her mouth to continue.

"This is sweet! It's so me! And there's my symbol on it! It looks just great! Please make me this!" She said, screaming with delight

For the next few days, I made the dress out of the finest materials, I was about to add the final orange stripes to the dress, but then thought

"Hey, Sunset, how would you think about having a little… sparkle, to the dress?" I asked

"That'd be cool, I guess…" Sunset replied, I added it and it looked like an active flame "Perfect."

After a while of getting the dress off, we hung it up and went downstairs to get drinks. We drank fizzy lemonade for a few minutes until we ran out

"Oh, I guess we're out… I'll go to the basement to get some more." Sunset said, getting up and walking to the door, she turned on the light and it blew. "Oh! Oh my! Aww… now we can't go down there…" she said in disappointment. I remembered I had something in my pocket

"Hey, I have a torch, now we can go." I said, holding out a small yellow torch key ring. I flicked it on and went downstairs with Sunset. She looked around for it, and asked me to follow her with the torch. As I had to do a simple task, I leaned on a wall to do so, but I almost fell backwards, luckily Sunset caught me

"Be careful!" She said, removing the blanket covering the thing I was almost about to fall through. It showed a huge stone arch with mirror in the arch.

"It's just a mirror, it's not like a portal to another dimension or something like that now is it?" I joked, but Sunset looked like it was. I just looked back "Oh come on… you really believe this to be a portal to far away adventures?" she still kept a straight face, she looked like she thought it was a portal to far away adventures

Sunset looked at me and said "Look, I've been looking for a pony to pick so the prophecy can be filled…"

"…pony…?"

"And you have the personality of the six, so… that's why I've called you here."

"The six?"

"Don't worry if ponies call you Firestorm, Celestia will explain."

"I don't get it, what do you me-" I was interrupted by being pushed into the mirror, but it didn't smash, in fact, when I was pushed into it, I saw all the colours of the rainbow in a spiral inside of a cylinder.

I saw Sunset get smaller and smaller. I spun in the cylinder, feeling like I was going to puke, I kept turning and turning and spinning and spinning, going upside down and all around, it was horrible… colourful, but horrible. I then saw a white light, I flew towards it, I went into the light and then I saw nothing but… darkness.
