The Legendary Pony

"Dude… get up!"

"Huh?"

"Come on, I know how nice naps are, but if you nap then you'll miss your date with Dash! Or whatever it is you're doing with her."

"Oh… who are you?"

"I'm Spike."

"Oh… are you some sort of creature?"

"Yes, a dragon in fact, can't you tell?"

"Trust me dude, I'm not from this place, I'm from another pl- wait… DRAGON!" I jumped out my bed and went so far off the bed, I fell down the stairs

"Oh my! Are you ok?" Twilight asked in concern

"DRAGON IN YOUR HOUSE!" I yelled, in fear that I am in danger

"Oh, him? Don't worry, he's friendly." Twilight reassured me

"He better be, if he tries anything funny, I'll apple buck him to next week!" I said in a threatening manner

"Firestorm! Stop worrying and get ready! You'll miss your lesson with dash." Twilight reminded me

"Fine, fine, whatever…" I said

I got ready and walked with Twilight out of the house, as I walked, I saw a little construction team walking out of Ponyville, I watched as they left

We walked for what seemed like miles, and then we made it to a cloud house in the sky, it was hard to see from the ground as it was so high up

"Rainbow Dash! Get up! Dash, come on, it's Firestorm!" Twilight called at the top of her voice

Rainbow Dash poked her head out the window "Urrrrrg! Fine, but this better be good!" her voice sounded boyish, but with a feminine tint to it

"Who is this Rainbow Dash girl anyway?"

"You mean mare. She's nice, a bit of a show off a times but still nice, and she's very loyal." Twilight informed

"Oh, ok"

Rainbow Dash got out of her house and flew gently down onto the ground, she was blue with red, orange and yellow top half of her mane and a green, blue and purple bottom half of her mane, while her tail had all 6 of the colours. Her Cutie Mark cloud with a lighting bold coming out of it, only it was red, yellow and blue instead of yellow

Twilight stared at Rainbow Dash in confusion

"What?" Rainbow Dash asked

"No show? You normally put on a show." Twilight asked

"Yeah, well sorry but I'm tired and was reading!" Rainbow told in a moody spirit

"What was you reading?" I asked

"Huh? Oh, hello pretty boy, I'm Rainbow Dash, the most awesomest and fastest pony in all of Equestria! But you probably heard of me though." she said, flicking her mane with her hoof with a smile on her face as if she was the best of the best

"Nope, doesn't ring a bell."

"What?! how have you not heard of me?!"

"Oh, details details, either way, my name is Firestorm, the newest and has lack of knowledge in all of Equestria! But, you probably heard of me." I said

"Well, I'll leave you two alone, have fun!" Twilight said, walking away

"So, let's start. Open your wings." I tried, but it was too hard

"Oh come on, concentrate or you'll never fly!" Dash said, trying to get me to do it as soon as possible

I tried to clear my mind, as cheesy as this may sound; I tried to believe that I could

"I can fly… I can fly… I can fly!" I felt my wings slowly open

"Yeah! There you are! Now try to flap them!" I still concentrated, but for what seemed a whole 10 seconds, then I remembered Kyle, the one who tried to beat me up, and I felt something in my sides, my wings were moving! I flapped them faster and faster until I could feel my feet skidding on the ground

"You're doing it!" Rainbow Dash said in joy

"I am? I am!" I replied in greater joy "Yeah baby, yeah!" I looked up and saw a cliff was nearby, I tried to put my feet in the ground but my wings over powered me, I was unstoppable, even by myself

"Now fly you heck of a stallion!" Dash called in enthusiasm, thinking I'm voluntarily going towards the edge

"NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!" I tried to close my wings, but then I had a thought...

"No... I'm not backing out of this! I've been a coward my whole life and I'm going to end that now! I'm Firestorm, and I can fly!"

I lifted my hooves off the ground and lowered my head so I could fly faster, and I flapped my wings as hard as I can. I flew right off the cliff and tried to practice flying by leaning my body upwards, I started to fly upwards into the air

The wind in my face felt amazing, my tail was swaying with the wind and the back of my mane flowing, I kept flying upwards and then just yelled out as loud as I could "THIS IS AMAZING!”

There was a problem though, my voice was squeaky, I looked up and saw I flew near to the top of my flying limit, I then decided not to fly into space and go downwards, but as I flew downwards, I went faster, and faster, and faster until I couldn't stop myself in time! I could the ground getting closer and closer until Rainbow Dash put a cloud near the ground for me to land in

But when I hit it, I heard a boom and was going at a high speed, it felt faster than 770 miles per hour! I looked down and saw that I was heading upwards, I could tell as the ground was getting smaller, not only that, but I saw a line of fire coming from me, with a circular ring of fire too

I didn't want to take another trip into space to I leaned forwards so I didn't fly upwards. I flew towards Ponyville, but then I started to slow down for some reason, my wings couldn't keep up with how fast I was going and failed, I saw myself getting lower and lower and lower until I hit the ground.

I felt my body skid for at least a could miles, when I stopped, I couldn't move, I could just see darkness for a long period of time. I finally woke up when I felt the vibrations of hoof steps coming towards me

"Whoa... is he dead?!" said a young filly who sounded just like Rainbow Dash, only very much younger and has more of a feminine tint to her voice then Rainbow Dash

"I don't know, let's poke it with a stick!" said a little filly, she had a southern accent and sounded like a younger Applejack, but with a much higher voice

"I don't know, I mean, what if he is a alive, we could poke his eye out. And we shouldn't poke a unicorn with a stick, who knows what could happen!" A squeaky, high pitched voiced filly said

I finally got the ability to move and got myself up, the little fillies gasped when they saw me expand my wings to get the dirt out of my wing feathers

"That's no unicorn..." the Rainbow Dash sounding filly said

"It's a... it's... it's..." the southern filly said

then the high pitched squeaky pony interrupted by yelling "An alicorn!”

I opened my eyes and saw three little fillies in front of me

The one to the left was orange with purple hair and purple eyes, she had wings

In the middle was a yellow pony who had orange eyes, red hair and a nice pinkish red bow

The one to her right is a white filly with emerald green eyes and a soft pink colour in her mane combined with lavender purple, she had a horn

"Oh... hello... who are you three? And where am I?" I asked them

The yellow filly spoke first "I'm Applebloom!"

The orange filly spoke second "I'm Scootaloo!"

And the white filly spoke last "I'm Sweetie Belle!", all the of them looked at each other and nodded, then breathed in deeply

"And together, we're... THE CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS!" they yelled at me, announcing whatever the Cutie Mark Crusaders were

"Ok... and what, exactly, are the Cutie Mark Crusaders? Please don't yell the name again..." I asked

"Well, the Cutie Mark Crusaders are a little group we made what helps fillies and colts everywhere earn their Cutie Mark!" said Applebloom

"As you can see, we don't have Cutie Marks... so we decided to work together to get our Cutie Marks." said Scootaloo

"And then... we found out that it's not only us, but it's other ponies too, so we want to help them too! Only... we don't know how..." Sweetie Belle said.

"But... I thought ponies were born with Cutie Marks..." I said, they shook their heads

"Only one pony in the whole universe and all of existence is born with a Cutie Mark, sadly, he's just a legend though..." Sweetie Belle said

Scootaloo looked at mine with confusion, "Why is your Cutie Mark partly grey and partly colour?" she asked

"Well... I don't know..." I responded. "Anyway, I'd love to help you if you want... how many members do you have?" I asked the fillies

"Well... 3..." Applebloom said, lowering her head a little in embarrassment

"4. Count me in." I said, they all looked at me with gasp

"Really?!" they asked

"Yep, you're an inspiration, and I'm not going to ignore it, and neither should anypony else, I'll help you earn your Cutie Marks! Well, after I'm done meeting Twilight's friends of course." I said, smiling at them

The fillies jumped at me and held me in a hug as tight as their little hooves could allow

"Thank you thank you thank you thank you!" they kept saying

"It's no problem. I'm Firestorm by the way." I introduced, "And I've got to get back to my flight lesson with-"

"Rainbow Dash!" Scootaloo said, pointing to her flying in my direction, then landing in front of me

"That... was... awesome! You were just flying through the air and nearly flew into space and then you nearly hit the ground and died but I saved you, but turns out you can do a Sonic Fireboom! that's just one of the most awesomest things I've ever seen! There's only one pony who can do that but the same thing is that he's a legend, and what you did was truly legendary! Please may I get your autograph?!" Rainbow Dash asked, holding a pen in her wing, I just stared at her with a blank expression

"Sure... Where and what will I sign...?" I asked, she flew off at a high speed, then flew back within seconds

"Could you sign this?! It's my copy of the first Daring Do book, Daring Do and the Quest For The Sapphire Stone!" Dash held it open on the first page, which was blank, with a pen on it

She was grinning at me, I stared at the pen, wondering how I could use the pen, I couldn't use magic, so that's down, I tried to pick it up with my wing, being left handed, I tried to use my left wing. I asked Dash for some paper first, when she returned, I practised with my wing, it wasn't bad, not readable but not bad. I tried with my mouth, it was just a big scribble, and I tried with my right wing, it was highly effective. I signed the book and gave the pen back

She was happy, giggled like a little school girl, kissed my cheek, said "Thanks!" then flew off before I could say a word

"Huh... that's odd... normally when someone does something she can't do, she tried to destroy the competition." Scootaloo said, confused about what just happened

"She would always make sure there's no one at a higher level than her, she always wants to be on top, and the only ponies she'd allow to be better than her are The Wonderbolts and her friends..."

"Maybe she might" Applebloom said, and continued the sentence in Scootaloo's ear as a whisper

Scootaloo's eyes widened, "No... you don't think she would, would you...?" Scootaloo said, looking at Applebloom

"What is it?" Sweetie Belle asked, feeling left out, Applebloom whispered in Sweetie Belle's ear what she said to Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle's eyes widened too "Ewwwwwwwwww!"

"I know right!" Scootaloo agreed

"I'm just sayin', it could be true!" Applebloom said, smiling a little, trying not to laugh

"Well, I'll see you fillies later..." I said, slowly walking away as they had their little grossed out convention

As I was walking home, it was getting a little dark, and managed to get to me and Twilight's home before sunset

"Hello? Anypony here? It's me, Firestorm." I called out

The house seemed empty, but I heard a noise from upstairs "Who?" it called

"Firestorm." I called back, I walked to the source of the sound and met a little owl

It was light brown with dark brown wings, tail, eyes, ears and eyebrows

The owl also had eye lashes, so I assumed it was a girl

"Oh, hi, never met you before." I said to the owl

"Who?" it replied back, I looked around then back at the owl

"You, you're the only one here…" I told it

"Who?" It asked back

"My name is Firestorm, and yours?" I introduced, there was a moment of silence until it finally said

"Who?", my right eye twitched and I yelled "You! wait, you can't talk, can you?" I asked it

it just responded with, you guessed it, "Who?"

I almost responded with full rage "Yo- it's either you're a very confused owl, or you're like the ones on my planet." I told it

it responded wit- oh you already know what it's going to say. "Who?"

I waited 10 seconds, and then gave a little smile in response

I walked away from the owl and decided to walk around the house to try to find somepony

"Hello?! Anypony here?" I heard a Twilight yell from downstairs

"Twilight, you're back." I called back, walking down the stairs

"Oh, hi Firestorm, I was just with Rarity, she's available for tomorrow, she's going to teach you about how to make dresses, which is very generous because she's going to let you use her fabrics, and she doesn't allow any old pony to use her fabrics, not even her friends or family, it's quite expensive." Twilight informed me

"Oh, ok." I replied back.

I knew it, I knew that there would be one pony who is just the stereotypical mare you'd expect from a land of multi-coloured horses, and the more I think about it, the more this is like a little story for a show made for little girls... although, I shouldn't be too quick to judge, I mean, if this was a little girls show, it's not all rainbows and lollipops, it would be quite well made

Maybe Rarity will be different to how I think she will be, I've already met a bookworm pony, bashful pony, 2 tomboy ponies, 2 southern ponies and a little cute pony who I really want as a squeaker toy, so maybe Rarity won't be as bad...

I've just got to give it a chance. Heh, who knows, considering how none girly this world seems, the more it seems like it'd be made by Lauren Faust.
