Prologue

Prologue
Previously in The Tale of Shadow, a pony named Karl arrived into the realm of Equestria, he awoke inside a house he had never seen in his life, as well as waking to a talking white unicorn named Rarity. Rarity believed he was just a Pegasus pony that had fallen unconscious, but little did she know that the black Pegasus with a black and red mane and tail was actually a pony from the planet Earth. Being the generous pony she was she decided to look after the pony introducing him to the other ponies of Ponyville.

Karl then decided that his pony name would be Shadow representing the colour of his coat, mane and tail. He then fell in love with the beautiful Fashionista unicorn, but the jealousy of another mare named Rainbow Dash began to brew, causing her to kiss him during a practice session for an upcoming event causing Shadow to regret how he feels about Rarity. Shadow decided to leave to collect his thoughts, and with the help from a local friend he finally understood how he felt.

In pursuit for Rarity, Shadow attended the gala, were Rarity was attending with Prince Blue Blood, but lucky for Shadow he wasn’t that much of a gentlecolt to Rarity, at the gala Shadow performed a song dedicated to her that got the attention of a lot of ponies in Equestria. On that same night he proposed to lady Rarity and of course she said yes. A couple of weeks later they got the news from a local doctor that they could be expecting a foal shortly and with no time to waste, they decided to get married but little did they both now about the terror that was coming their way.

So as Shadow set out to buy a very, and I mean very expensive dress for Rarity, Ponyville was attacked by an unknown assailant, when Shadow arrived back in Ponyville he found chaos and fear spread across the town of Ponyville. During his search for who was responsible they manage to free hostages taken by the mysterious assailant and found the location of the attacker, Shadow quickly ventured to the town square where Rarity was held hostage and an unexpected acquaintance was met, it had turned out that Shadow knew him from his previous life on Earth and he showed Shadow kindness of allowing him to survive one day longer when the unexpected arrival of baby Dusk came along.

The next day Shadow fought against Phantom, the unknown attacker he met the day before, the battle lasted many hours a lot of blood was shed and lives were nearly lost, if it wasn’t for Rarity for stopping a rage driven Shadow, he would have beaten Phantom to death with a steel pipe. This was probably not in their best interests because it allowed Phantom to regain his strength and turn the tables into his favour allowing Phantom to rein his psychotic rule over the situation.

He continued to attack Shadow until he became quite bored and thought that Shadow should suffer instead. Intending to send Rarity to planet Earth, Shadow became enraged once again allowing him to save lady Rarity from an unknown world but sending him instead.

This is where our new journey begins, what will happen to Shadow or Rarity? What psychotic ideas are flowing through Phantoms head, will Shadow ever see Rarity again? What Challenges will the two of them face? What about Dusk growing up without a father? Stay tuned and find out on the next instalment of The Tale of Shadow Two worlds Apart

A/N: This prologue reminds me of the watching Dragonball Z or Bleach (Epic shows by the way but not compared to MLP) and they would explain the previous episode or season.

Chapter 1: A Final Farewell

Chapter 1: A Final Farewell
In Shock of being tossed out the way of an attack meant for her, she cried in havoc as she watched the colt of her dreams disappear in front of her eyes never to be seen again.
“Oh don’t cry Rarity,” Laughed Phantom, “it’s not like he was a real pony.”
Rarity could feel the rage boiling inside her veins ready to burst out and destroy everything in her path even thoughts of killing Phantom entered her mind.
“Come on Cheer up at least you can find the real pony of your dreams.” smiles Phantom
“Shut your mouth!” says Rarity her voice becoming louder and angrier by the second, “Don’t you dare tell me how I should love and forget!”
Rarity gets up off the ground with tears welling in her eyes spilling down her cheek and slowly dripping the crystal clear tears onto the warehouse floor.
“Ah you’re feisty for a Fashionista” laughs Phantom stepping back just in case, “how about you forget that worthless pony called Shadow and find a stronger colt to hold you at night”
“And I’m guessing your that kind of gentlecolt?” says Rarity whipping the tears away from her eyes
“Hay I’ve always been that kind of gentlecolt baby.” smiles Phantom walking around Rarity.
“Hmm… you’ll never be as good of a gentlecolt like Shadow was.” says Rarity with a little smile
“Shadow was never a gentlecolt he was just playing you along like some kind of fiddle,” giggles Phantom, “and you followed him like a little sheep.”
“Who are you calling a sheep Darling?” shouts Rarity as she moves closer to the portal
“What are you going to do about it?” mocks Phantom, “It’s not like a weakling Unicorn such as yourself could ever beat me.”
“You wanna test that theory?” smiled Rarity
“What are you challenging me…don’t bother you saw what happened to your weak fiancé.” laughs Phantom walking closer to Rarity
“Now how about a real Gentlecolt shows you a real good time?” whispers Phantom into Rarity’s ear, “and you can relax and forget about that Shadow and all the pain he has caused you since he has been here.”
Phantom goes in for a kiss but is met with hard and fast punch to the stomach
“Darling, I already said there isn’t any gentlecolt such as Shadow.” says Rarity watching as Phantom falls to the ground in pain
“Why you little…” wheezes Phantom
Rarity walks over to Phantom who was struggling to get back to his hooves
“Now this one’s for Shadow” whispers Rarity into Phantoms ear
Rarity grabs Phantom by the mane lifting him back on to his hooves then pushes Phantom through the portal, watching as Phantom disappears into the fine air that here fiancé Shadow previously had.
‘Your turn darling’ thinks Rarity hoping Phantom is greeted by Shadow when he arrives on Earth.
She begins walking out of the warehouse as tears beginning to well back up in her eyes, as she remembers all the excitement and good times her and Shadow shared together during his stay in Ponyville.
‘I better go back to Sweet Apple Acres and tell the others’ thinks Rarity looking up into the sky while tears drip down her face.
“Shadow, Darling I hope you are alright and safe back on your home planet…I will always Love you, forever.” cries Rarity as she yells to the heavens, “make sure you find a way back…okay Darling, cause you promised me a beautiful white wedding”
Rarity then trots off heading to Sweet Apple Acres thinking what she is going to tell Rainbow Dash and the others and what will she tell Dusk when he grows up to be a colt himself.

A/N: Just a short chapter to get this fanfic started, before bringing out the big stuff.

Chapter 2: Familiar Faces

I roll over onto my back looking up into the bright blue sky with the sun peering through the fluffy white clouds that I had become used to flying through with Rainbow Dash.
“No I can’t be back” I mumble as I hold my hands above my face.
I move my hands away from my face smashing them into the sandy beach side that I lay on.
“NO I CAN’T BE BACK” I scream to the sky above not caring about if any is around.
“No No No!” I say tears beginning to well up in my eyes.
“Rarity…Im so sorry” I say rolling over burying my head into my arms as I began to cry
“Come on Shadow…Cheer up” says a voice I have become familiar with
“YOU!” I scream standing back up on my feet
“Oh Shadow if I couldn’t tell…I think you missed me” laughed the Shadowy figure
I lunge at the Laughing figure with a powerful punch hitting him directly in his face, knocking him into the shimmering blue water.
I run over to Phantom picking him up out of the water he
“Laugh at this” I shout pulling back for another punch planning to punch him in the face
I hit him in the face breaking his nose in the process.
“You broke my nose” laughs Phantom standing up out of the shimmering blue sea slowly being tainted by his blood
“You are one insane prick” I shout grabbing his white collar of his white shirt
“Come on kill me if it will make you feel better” laughs Phantom his face covered with his own blood, “Do it….DO IT!”
I go to Punch Phantom in the face but my arm is held back by something
“Ha” I huff turning around to see a brown haired chick holding my arm back
She was about 17 years old roughly my age she had a voluptuous body, her brown hair draped over her shoulders and she wore a butterfly pin just below her fringe. She was wearing a white school shirt with a logo from Haven City High School the high school I used to attend my entire teen life and she wore a blue shirt that appeared to be knee height.
“Alyssa” I mutter noticing that a long lost friend from high school was holding my arm back as hard as she could; it was easily noticeable that I was taking all her strength to hold back my single arm
“Karl I won’t let you hurt this man” says Alyssa still shaking from holding back my arm not having a single clue of what Phantom…Josh was capable of. He still may even poses the powers he had back in Equestria
“Let me go” I yell in anger trying to shake her of my arm
“No I won’t let go” Shouts Alyssa back at me, “The Karl I know would never hurt anyone no matter what they have done
“No he needs to Pay” I yell my patience beginning to grow thin as each second begins to pass
“No Karl just let him go” yells Alyssa holding on to my arm for dear life
I try to shake her of but she continues to hold on while I still have Phantom held in the other hand he continues to laugh as I persist to shake her off, I finally give in and throw Phantom into the sand behind us
“This your lucky day now get out of my sight before I really get pissed off and regret my decision” I say anger still blazing in my eyes
Phantom quickly scares on to he’s feet and runs away without taking the time to look back
“Now will you let my arm go” I say trying to calm back down
“Sure” smiles Alyssa as she takes her grip of my arm and turning to pick up her school bag I had just noticed lying on the sand beside us, “What was that all about?”
“Nothing you need to worry about” I smile trying to change the subject
“Ok Well Um… So Karl how was your trip” smiles Alyssa trying to break up the awkwardness
“Ugh…Trip?” I say in confusion scratching the back of my head
“Yeah your mum said that you were visiting you dad in North Beach” Says Alyssa
“Oh yeah” I say with a nervous laugh, “Yeah it was alright to see my dad again, we really didn’t do much but talk and watch UFC on TV…He was mostly working and stuff”
“At least it sounds better than the school holidays I had and you got an extra week of school” giggles Alyssa, “Oh don’t forget your bag over there”
“Ha” I say walking over to the black bag similar to the bag I had in PonyVille
I open the bag too see what was inside and notice some of the valuables I had when I went to PonyVille inside it along with massive wad of Cash.
‘Where did this come from’ I think to myself as I pull the cash out the bag
I notice that a note was tied to it which had the similar hand writing to Rarity
“Ha…when did Rarity put this in here” I mutter in shock as I proceed to open the white envelope with silver enlaced around the edges

Dear My Darling Shadow,

I know by the time you have read this letter you will be back on earth, and we possibly will never be able to see each other again…I have been preparing for this day for quite some time since our relationship has begun to evolve into something more the just friends…I do sincerely wish we were reading this letter together but if not I want to take the time to say how much I love you Shadow and I wish you the best back on earth, I have taken the privilege of giving you a little gift of what you humans call Money and I hope it will help you with any problems you may face on earth and I also am sorry for prying into your personal belongings but the jacket I have started to work on from the designs you had will be able to fit you back on earth…what am I saying you probably have noticed that by know.

Love you Always,

Lady Rarity

I turn the letter to see if any thing was written on the other side of the letter and notice a more recently written message written on the back.

Shadow tomorrow I know you’ll probably leave without any pony knowing where you have gone abut I wish you would off considered staying here, cause im not sure if I will be able to coupe if something drastic may happen to you. We just had a new born foal for Celestia’s sake and your running of to fight some battle you didn’t help start, but over the time I have known you you will still go ahead and do it anyway just to save more life’s and scarifying your own to do so, whatever may happen tomorrow I will always be In PonyVille waiting for you cause you’re the only gentlecolt I will ever dream off, and our love will live on even through death because nothing is going to tear what we have shared apart.

I Love you,

Rarity

I could feel the tears beginning to well open in my eyes and I could notice that a few had dropped on to the white note that Rarity had written just before my departure.
“Everything alright Karl” says Alyssa as she places a hand on my shoulder
Alyssa was always a cheerful person but also loving and caring at the same time, we have been friends for years since we were in year 2 in primary school ever one else since high school always thought that we were boyfriend and Girlfriend but we never decided to pursue that idea.
“Yeah im alright” I say wiping away the remaining tears away with the sleeve from the jacket from Rarity.
“Who’s the note from?” Says Alyssa curios all of a sudden
“A friend” a smile folding the note up and placing it in a pocket inside my jacket and then closing up the bag
“Well Karl we better get going before it gets dark” smiles Alyssa getting back to her cheery self
“Where are we going?” I say in confusion again
“You’re going to help me with my science assignment we just got today”
“What im still in your science class? I thought I changed out of that subject”
“I guess not so you’re going to be my partner in my assignment since im the only one who doesn’t have one and you’re back at school now so you are my partner” says Alyssa as she begins to walk home.
“Is that so” I smile following her to her place
“Yep” she says turning to wait for me to catch up, “Come on hurry up we don’t wanna be late…you know how crazy my mother gets when im home late”
“Yeah im right behind you” I say running to catch up

Chapter 3: News No Pony Wants To Hear

It was a long trip back to Sweet Apple Acres from Canterlot’s Warehouse district and Rarity wasn’t feeling up to the task of telling the other ponies about what has happened to Shadow. She finally reached the front step of Applejacks house but hesitated about knocking on her door…Well she hesitated about walking into Sweet Apple Acres fall stop.
“C’mon Miss Rarity, there’s simply nothing to be scared about” says Rarity giving herself a little Pep talk, “You have nothing to be worried about they will all understand”
She mustered up as much courage as she could and took a deep breath before walking up to the front door. She was just about to knock but was put off by the thought of every pony else’s reaction to the news about Shadow how she was the reason he was sent back to earth because she couldn’t just stay away and leave Shadow to his business.
“No...I can’t do it” She mutters under her breath, “I just can’t do it”
She turns to walk down away from Applejack’s ranch until she hears the door open behind her
“Rarity…What are yawl doin’ outside at this time of night” Yawns Applejack
“Um…I couldn’t sleep” lies Rarity hidden behind a nervous smile
“Rarity, you were never a good one at lying to other ponies…you know” Says Applejack wiping the her eyes that were adjusting to the early morning sun, “so what are you really doing out here this early and where is Shadow?”
“Ah, may we sit inside… I’ve got some awful news to tell every pony” Says Rarity walking over to Applejack
“Yeah sure…the other ponies are awake already as well so they won’t mind” smiles Applejack following Rarity inside
“Great” Lies Rarity behind another nervous smile
Rarity heads inside and sits down as every pony Shadow was friends with gathers around Rarity
“Hey Rarity where’s Shadow” Yawns Rainbow Dash
“Yeah I was beginning to wonder that myself” says Applejack
“Well” Says Rarity crystal clear tears running down her cheek, “Um…Shadow…”
“What’s happened to Shadow” Blurts Rainbow Dash get closer to Rarity
“Shadow…won’t be coming back to Equestria” Says Rarity wiping her eyes free from tears, “he was sent back to earth trying to protect me from Phantom”
“No it can’t be…” gasps Rainbow Dash, “Shadow can’t have gone back to Earth…not yet”
Rarity could notice the tears beginning to run down the cyan pony’s cheek and she couldn’t help but ball into tears herself, she had been trying to hold back the waterworks the whole time since Shadow was sent back to earth
“Well…Rarity…What happened to Phantom then” says Dash trying to stop crying, “He better not still be here”
“Settle down, Rainbow Dash…I settled that myself” Says Rarity a small smile running across her face even though tears were still pouring from her lovely purple eyes, “I sent him back to earth myself”
“Good” smiles Rainbow Dash whipping away any remaining tears.
“Im so sorry Rarity” whispers Fluttershy who was sitting next to her at the time, “I Know how much you loved him and cared for him, just as I do with my animals”
“Thank you Fluttershy” says Rarity before giving Fluttershy a hug.
“Well Rarity” says Twilight a sudden thought coming to mind, “There may be a way for Shadow to come back”
“HOW” Says Rarity releasing her grip from Fluttershy and rushing over to twilight eager to hear what she has to say
“Well…Um…You know how you went back to earth for half an hour for Shadow to get his stuff and say his good byes”
“Yes I still remember that Day, it would be hard to forget such a day when I became a human” smile Rarity
“Well…That device was only a prototype model so maybe Doctor Hooves and I could build the same model but allow more time to be spent on earth”
“Yes that’s a great Idea” says Rarity jumping up and kissing twilight out of pure excitement
“Whol’d on there we filly…yawl did hear the part where she sayed that it might work…not it will work”
“Oh don’t be so rash Applejack, of course I heard her, but if there is a slight possibility I could see Shadow again I’ll take it” Says Rarity still exited
“Hold on Rarity…I don’t know how long it will take for us to finish the teleportation device it may take a week or even a couple of years to finish” explains Twilight
“Yeah I know Darling, but at least it is still a chance” says Rarity with a hint of sadness because she knows there is a chance it may not work
“Oh Rarity, I have something to give you” smiles Twilight, “Something Shadow left behind for you”
“What is it” says Rarity confused
“Follow me” says Twilight standing up and trotting into the guest room where Shadow had spent the night
“Why are we going in he….” Rarity stops in her speech as she notices the Dress Shadow had picked up in New Yorke for their wedding.
“Now you have something to remember Shadow by” smiles Twilight
“Oh Celestia…it’s so Beautiful” says Rarity tears beginning to form under her eyes again
“I thought you would like it” says Twilight
“Excuse Me twilight but I need to be alone” says Rarity Trying to hold back the tears
“Sure Rarity…Take all the time you need” says Twilight walking out of the room shutting the door behind her
“It’s Beautiful isn’t it Dusk” says Rarity just remembering he is still in the crib in the room
“Let me get you out of there” says Rarity picking up Dusk
“I know that your Dad may be gone for now but he’ll be back you’ll see”

Chapter 4: Time Fly's

It has been almost a year since Shadow has gone back to earth and ever since that day on the beach Phantom…Well Josh has never been seen or heard ever since, Karl was kind of worried about that he thought he would of heard something by know but no, he couldn’t be dead it wouldn’t of been right…well he couldn’t of died from the injuries he suffered from the hands of Shadow…I mean Karl could he? Maybe he just went into hiding never to be heard of again, But Karl was smarter than that he knew he would hear of Josh sometime soon he just didn’t know when, Well the only time he did her something about him was from some guy at school saying he saw him in some forest but that couldn’t be right…Well he did live in a abounded shack for four months so anything is possible, but there were always more pressing issues I had to attend to than going on some wild goose chase.

I passed the time by joining everything to do with science and Maths at school just so I can find a way to travel back. Alyssa doesn’t really know what happened to me since I come back from ‘My trip’ all she knows is before I left to go visit my dad in North Beach I was failing Chemistry and all of a sudden I happen to be passing with Straight A’s. I’ve kind of become some kind of science and maths nerd, she may have thought it strange that whenever I had science or Maths on at school I would be there sitting in the centre of the front row I was always there even if I was deathly ill I would still be there in the same old seat. All my friends ditched me but who needs them they only ditched me just because they thought I had become a nerd and they didn’t want to be seen hanging out with one, they would even try to pick on me at lunch times and after school but that never worked out for them.

Alyssa was probably the only friend I have now but then wasn’t she always. I used to hang out with a lot of people but they weren’t true friends just an illusion because I was a part of the football team and I got invited to all the good parties the would just try to fool me into believing they were my friend but I was always knew better. I finally moved out of the piece of shit I used to call a house and so did Alyssa, our families were always preoccupied with other shit never payed attention to me or her for that fact, it was probably one of the reasons we were such good friends, My parentd the always got me in trouble for the smallest mishap that no kid would get in trouble for, life was always harsh at home it probably didn’t help my family didn’t even notice I was home after being gone for months so I finally had enough and decided to leave, I told Alyssa of my plans of leaving home and I showed her all the cash but I lied and told her that it was a present from my father, I didn’t like the idea of lying to her but it was far better than the truth she probably would have thought I was crazy and never talked or notice me ever again.

So she left her family without them knowing where she was going and moved in with me in my new apartment, and I bought my own car from the money Rarity gave me…before you ask I haven’t spent it all…I still have three quarters of it left so if I need it to buy the equipment to go back to Equestria.
Now we go back to Rarity, She has been helping Twilight build the device…well not really helping but she has offered on many occasions to help out but she really has no idea what Twilight and Doctor Whooves are doing…she really doesn’t understand any of that science stuff but instead has helped bring up Dusk which is now a teen Colt that just finished school and has been helping Twilight and Doctor Whooves, Dusk was really good at science but that wasn’t his special talent instead he was alt like his father that was very talented in music, Dusk began working with Vinyl not long ago and so far she is teaching him everything she knew about being a DJ and he finally got his cutie mark

Dusk was a white Pegasus pony with a white mane and tail with streaks of Red, he wore red tinted glasses and had to ear pieces in his left ear, he also wore a red bandanna around his neck and a black jacket that was combined with a black belt with a red buckle that his mother Rarity made for him when he was attending school. He also had a tattoo underneath his eye of some kind of tribal design that was coloured in red along and his coat had stripes of red that were located all over the place.

(Dusk is the Pony used as the cover picture of this story for now until i make a better Fanfiic Cover soome time this week)

Dusk really didn’t know much about his Father Shadow except from the stories Rarity would tell him when he was young or when she would compare his ability’s to his fathers. He didn’t like it sometimes when she would compare certain things between him and his father but his mother would always realize how harsh he was being when she did this and would always apologize shortly after saying it. Dusk looked up to the stories of his father and noticed he was a lot like him in some ways, they both shared a passion for music no matter what style the preferred, They were both kind towards other ponies around Equestria and the biggest thing that they both shared was they both had the blood type of a human…yes human ever since Dusk was born he had the blood type of a human he was kind of some hybrid pony but no one else new it besides Twilight, Doctor Whooves and his mother, it allowed Dusk to grow up Faster and have such exceptional speed as Rainbow Dash.

Chapter 5: Out In The Bush

I awake to a loud noise coming from the kitchen
“hmm” I moan as I roll out of bed colliding face first with the ground below, “aghh” I say grasping the back of my head that was throbbing in pain
“Hello Sleepy head” smiles Alyssa while attempting to cook breakfast
“You need any help” I yawn as i cover my eyes from the bright sun peering through the silk blinds
“Nope, im fine” says Alyssa with another cheerful smile, “I have the hang of it this time”
“You do remember what happened last time you cooked” I say remembering the time she nearly burnt the house down.
“I know Karl…but that’s why we have a fire extinguisher now” laughs Alyssa as she flips the eggs in the pan
“Yeah but it isn’t going to last long if you keep starting fires” I joke playfully as I take a seat at the table

Alyssa was good at some things but cooking was never one of them if it was humanly possibly she would burn water, ever since we become house mates I made sure to do all the cooking as well as trying to teach her what little I knew about cooking we usually lived on noodles, eggs and other easy to prepare meals.

“So what are you doing this fine Saturday morning…besides having breakfast with me?” says Alyssa as she places two fried eggs on to each plate
“I dunno” I say stretching my arms above my head, “All I know is that I am starving”
“Well starve no longer” laughs Alyssa as she places the plates on the table
“Thanks” I say as I inspect the eggs, “well at least they look cooked”
I begin to cut in with my knife and fork and slowly draw a small piece closely to my mouth, I then place the small piece into my mouth and slowly begin to chew the silky, soft egg
“Mmm” I moan as I chew the egg, “This is good”
A smile runs across Alyssa’s face as if she was happy to finally know how to cook eggs. I continue eating my breakfast until there is nothing left
“ugh, That was good” I smile leaning back on my chair
“Glad you like it” she says as she picks up the plates and places them into the sink
“So what are you doing today” I ask turning around to face Alyssa
“Um….I was going to hang out with the girls at the mall today”
“Alright…Cool…I’ll probably sit around here for a bit” I say getting up oc the chair
“Sure” she says walking into her room, probably to change out of her pyjamas
I walk over to the T.V and switch it on
“Hey Karl you wanna come with me and hang out with the others…Im pretty sure Matt will be there” yells Alyssa from her room
“Na I have a few things I wanna do at home before tomorrow” I yell back as I spread out across the couch
“Yeah like what?”
“I Have a assignment due Monday and I have barely started” I lied
“Okay well if you change your mind will be at the mall” says Alyssa leaving her room and heading towards the front door
“See ya later” I say as I wave goodbye
“Bye” smiles Alyssa as she leaves the apartment
I watch T.V for five to Ten minutes just to make sure she doesn’t come back to see if I am actually doing school work or making up a ridicules lie
‘Good she isn’t coming back for a while’ I say softly to myself
I quickly walk into my room putting which was covered in all kinds of poster (mainly ones of my favourite band Hollywood Undead) and I decide on a final fantasy shirt that had a picture of Sephiroth and black denim jeans. I notice the 20% cooler shirt sitting within my cupboard, noticing it nearly brought a tear to my eyes but instead I slammed the door to my cupboard shut and grabbed my keys of my wooden bedside table and rush out side slamming the door shut behind me and then lock it shut with my key.
I walk down the pale white stairs down to the garage level below, I reach the garage and unlock my car, my car was a dark blue Mazda RX-8 that I bought second hand at some car company I can’t remember. I push the key into the ignition and here the car reply with a loud roar as it comes to life
“Oh baby” I say revving the guts out the car
Lucky old lady pam wasn’t around ever since I moved into the apartment she has been complaining nonstop about everything, first it was the car being too loud, then it was something about me being a brony…yeah I don’t think this old lady is a supporter of us bronies, she’s always rabbiting on about how we young kids should be out playing football or spending our times out doors.
I settle down on the revving and begin to back out of my car park and after that I zoom of down the street to a local friend’s house
I have been driving for roughly about thirteen minutes to ‘see an old friend’ and another fifteen minutes later I finally arrive.
I pull my car up onto the dirt side walk hearing the breaks squeal as they bring the car to a halt no one really lived around in this area but it was the best seat up for an old acquaintance he lived somewhere inside this jungle of a forest and I intended to find his place of operation. You see I got a anonym’s tip from a guy at school…well more like I heard him talking to some guy, that he saw my buddy ol pal Phantom roaming around In this area…so after a couple of months I have finally decided to check it out
I begin searching through the jungle looking around for any sign of a hut, shack or even a tent but it provided to no avail I searched high and low, within caves and ditches but still no sign of a habitat fit for Phantom.
I was just about to give up when something caught my eye which was sitting of in the distance, at first it looked like a cave of some sort but after having a closer look it appeared to be some kind of old ruined shack.
‘So this is where you have been hiding’ smiles Karl as he opens the door to the shack
‘Knock, knock’ jokes Karl as he notices no one sitting inside
What lied within the shack was a probably what everyone would have suspected to be and that was empty cans of Baked beans and Spaghetti
‘Good to know you’re on a diet’ I joke as I kick over the pile in front of me
I walk around the shack to see if there were any signs of Phantom…I mean Josh living here still but the smell of off spaghetti and baked beans helped prove he wasn’t here no longer probably found a better dump to live in
‘Well that was a waste of time’
I turn around and notice a table against the sheet metal that held the shack together so nothing could walking during the night and I noticed a few photographs scattered across the wooden surface of the table
‘What the’ I say as I pick up a photograph, ‘you gotta be joking’
I flip through the images until I have seen them all
‘What a sick bastard…doesn’t this foal have a life’
I throw the pictures to the ground
‘So josh looks at R34…hmm who would have guessed’
I see another pile of photos near the kitchen sink but these were of a different genre
‘Oh come on’ I yell revealing what was on the photos
‘He’s know following me around…this just gets better and better’
All of a sudden I hear the door slam behind me
‘ah oh’ I whisper looking around for away for me to hide

A/N: Okay this Chapter is a little random but the old lady Pam I put in this story is a character representing my neighbour which hates the fact I watch ponies and i play my guitar to loud.

Chapter 6: Back in Ponyville

“Mum you here?” shouts Dusk as he barges through the door
“Yes dear” yells Rarity from upstairs, “what do you want…it better not be another adventure story…I simply don’t have the time to listen to it at the moment”
“No Mum I was just wondering if it was alright to go and see Fluttershy” Yells back Dusk placing his red tinted glasses on top of his head with a free hoof
“Why do you need to see Fluttershy for?” questions Rarity
“I promised her that I would help her with her animals today”
“Alright fine, but don’t get lost this time” laughs Rarity
“I won’t” Huffs Dusk remembering the time when he was a little colt and he got lost while he was going to Fluttershy’s Cottage.

As you see Dusk was adventures pony, ever since he was young he would wonder around outside just trying to find some adventure that would interest him, one day he ended up missing for three days as he got lost on the way to Fluttershy’s cottage. He spent a lot of time at Fluttershy’s…probably because she lived so close to Everfree forest to explore and wonder around in and if he ever did something amazing, well he always thought he did he would tell the great adventure story to his dear mother Rarity.

Dusk just trotted out of Carousel boutique before he was met with an impact that knocked him onto the ground like a sack of hay
“Ow” says Dusk rubbing the back of his head
“Oh im sorry Dusk” says the purple pony as she helps him back onto his hooves
“Oh it’s okay Twi” says Dusk putting on a brave face, “What are you in such a hurry for?”
“I just got to get a few things for Fluttershy while she looks after angel” smiles Twilight
“What’s wrong with Angel?” says Dusk with a concerned look on his face
“Nothing major he has just become really ill since yesterday and Fluttershy has run out of medicine and needs some more”
“Oh okay…Maybe I can help you” smiles Dusk, “because I was heading to see Fluttershy as well before you bumped into me"
"Im so sorry about that" consoles Twilight
"No need...i was just in the wrong place at the wrong time" blushes Dusk as he rubs his head nervously
"I probably shouldn't have been rushing" says Twilight
"but you have a good reason too" says Dusk, "So how about i tag along so you don't bump into any pony along the way" jokes Dusk
“Sure…I would like that” says Twilight giving a friendly smile back

Dusk could feel his heart skip a beat just because he got to spend some one on one time with Twilight because normally he would be helping Twilight with the teleportation device along with Doctor Whooves and he never had the time to talk to her one on one and every time he had the chance some pony would interfere aka Rarity. I think she knew about his crush on Twilight and always managed to intervene at the right moment.

“Cool…So where are we heading” says Dusk as he trots over to Twilights side
“We are going to see Nurse Redheart” smiles Twilight
“Okay…Im just surprised Fluttershy ran out of medicine”
“Yeah me to, Never since I have been in Ponyville has Fluttershy ran out of medicine” says Twilight
“Hmm…well I guess it was bound to happen sometime” laughs Dusk
“Yeah I guess” giggles Twilight, “So Dusk…how is Rarity”
“You know mum is fine but she isn’t giving up on my father yet” softly says Dusk
“Hmm…I can’t image how it feels to lose the colt of your dreams” consoles Twilight
“Im guessing you knew my father well” says Dusk kicking a rock on the ground
“I knew your father but not as well as Rainbow Dash and Rarity did” says Twilight sitting down on a local bench
“Ha what are you doing” says Dusk in confusion
“Im going to tell you about your father” says Twilight levitating a book out of her saddle pack
“You sure do have a book for everything” jokes Dusk
“Yep” grins Twilight, “Well you going to sit or what”
“I guess…depends on the story”
“It’s not a story…more like the letters I sent to Princess Celestia about Shadows time here in Ponyville” says Twilight flipping through the book with her unicorn magic, “ah here we go”
Twilight hands the book to Dusk so he can read the letter

Dear Princess Celestia,

Today I learnt that it doesn’t matter where in the world you come from, two ponies can find love even if they are different race, and to prove my point take a look at Shadow and Rarity. He is a Human from a planet they call Earth and he has fallen in love with the beautiful Rarity and every day there friendship and compassion for one another grows. I haven’t had much time to learn much about Shadow but I know that he is kind, honest and compassionate to thoughs he meets and makes friends with. He has helped many ponies around Ponyville especially Rarity and Rainbow Dash which he has also developed a friendships with over his time so far in Ponyville. I know so far he has had a rough life back on earth…his parents didn’t appreciate his ability’s and talents, he was failing at school and he was what humans would call people a loner. I would like to spend some time with Shadow to get to know him better and learn about the human race.

Your Faithful Student,

Twilight

“Well…thanks for that Twilight” smiles Dusk as he hands the book back, “I never knew you kept a copy of your letters?”
“Yeah I never used to but something about your father made me keep a copy just in case something happened…so I could give them to Rarity to comfort her” says Twilight as she levitates the book back into her bag
“Hmmm…Well we better get to Nurse Redheart before Angel becomes seriously ill” says Dusk standing up off of the bench and holding out a hoof
“Yeah” says Twilight as she accepts the help up of the bench

Twilight and Dusk finally reached Nurse Redheart’s Clinic
“Hello Ms. Twilight and….” Pauses the Receptionist
“Dusk” buts in Dusk
“Nice to meet you” smiles the receptionist
“Like wise” laughs Dusk
“What is so funny?” says the Receptionist in confusion
“Nothing to worry about” Dusk says noticing Twi’s Face which was also in confusion
“SO….Is Nurse Redheart i?” Ask Twilight breaking the awkwardness
“Yes…I show you to her office” says the Receptionist getting up of the seat
“No need” smiles Twilight holding up a hoof, “I know the way”
“Alright” says the Receptionist sitting back down in her seat
“Alright you coming” says Twilight who was waiting over at the hallway to Nurse Redheart’s Office.
“Yeah, Coming” Says Dusk Trotting over to Twilight

A/N: i have decided to make it a flashback First Person story between Shadow (Karl) and Dusk with the occasional Rarity Chapter

Chapter 7: Hide and Seek

*Bang*
Karl was shocked at the sound of the shack door being slammed against the shack
“Ah oh” I say looking around for somewhere to hide
I search around the kitchen and I couldn’t find a single place to hide that was an obvious spot to hide
“Oh come on” I whisper trying not to speak to loud, “fine I’ll have to hide in the cupboard
I jump into the cupboard and shut the wooden shutter doors softly against the pine wood
“Who the hell has a cupboard in an abounded shack” I whisper to myself in the darkness
I could hear footsteps walking around the shack slowly as if they were looking for something, I could hear the roughing of papers and the shuffling of books coming from the room behind me
“Who is that” I whisper to myself
I could hear the footsteps becoming closer and closer as each second past as I stood within the darkened death box.

I noticed the person had dark ginger hair which was spiked and wore a navy blue jumper and blue denim jeans.
“Ha, that’s not Phantom” I say in Confusion of who it was
I decided to continue to hide in the cupboard just in case it was someone as dangerous as Phantom but when he turned around and showed his face I could tell that I wouldn’t come to any kind of harm.
I Jump out of the cupboard and tackle the brown haired figure knocking him to the ground with a shoulder barge that I learnt from wrestling and MMA

*Flash Back*
When I was a kid I used to be picked on at school a lot, beaten day in and day out never had a day that I didn’t come home without a new cut, bruise, or scrap. I tried everything from hiding at school, getting myself intentionally in trouble or even staying home faking I was sick or something but one day I just snapped and went into some kind of crazy frenzy and fought back as hard as I could but that proved to be to no avail…so I made a promise to myself to learn to fight back and never be beaten ever again…so I did I joined martial classes of various kinds of styles learning abit of each one and using them to create my own arsenal of techniques and manoeuvres…I took the fancy of MMA and Wrestling at the time and learnt the moves they used against their opponents….Then came the day I had to use them…Since I disappeared from school for a couple of weeks the people that had the daily agenda for beating me into a pulp decided that the best thing to do was beat on my closest friend Alyssa so when I found out about it from another kid that attended the school that h was planning to ambush her after school…I snapped I ran to that school as fast as I could and when arrived…. I was too late…. She laid there beaten pretty bad blood covered her face along with cuts and bruises, they broke two of her ribs and her left arm…but that was completely nothing to what I did that day….I ran up to the kid and drove his face into a steel pole and smashed repeatedly for about two minutes then I proceeded to lift the kid above my shoulders and throw him face first onto a the steel steps of the local playground close by…but that wasn’t all after I stomped his chest repeatedly and broke each rib in his body and I left him for dead there in that abandoned playground and I took Alyssa to the hospital. I vowed to never get out of control like that again but I that was thrown out of the window when I met Phantom.

*End of Flash Back*

“Get off me you freak” yelled the brown haired kid, “It’s me Karl”
I let go of the figure as soon as I realised that the kid was a good friend of mine named Kyle
“Oh im sorry” I say releasing my grip from around his collar, “Why are you here?” I say helping him off of the ground
“I saw your car out front as I drove past bro” smiles Kyle, “Im not going to miss your dark blue Mazda RX-8 for a long time you’re the only guy that seems to have one that I know of in this part of Haven City so I had to see what you were doing out here”.
“I guess that would explain it but you do know that curiosity killed the cat right” I laugh
“Yeah I know but I have seen you for ages since you got back from visiting you dad and when I do your always too busy working on something else” mutters Kyle
“Yeah Im sorry about that…So….” I say nervously
“Wanna go and hang out at the Mall….Im supposed to be meeting Alyssa and everyone there” smiles Kyle.
“Yeah…I guess that would be fun” I say
We walk out of the abounded and head back to where both our cars had been parked.
“Ha I see you still drive the same piece of crap you had years ago” I laugh noticing the little bubble car that he had, “You may as well pain that thing pink”
“Oh come on…You do know this used to be my sisters car” says Kyle
“Yeah….But that doesn’t seem to help your case now does it” I say continuing to laugh
“Just shut up” says Kyle angrily as he opens his car door and sits inside
“Yeah whatever” I say getting inside my own car
We both turn the ignition of the cars and hear as both cars roar to life…well as my car roars back to life. I could tell Kyle was trying to rev his car up to show off its inner beast hidden inside….So I decided that I had to show him up *RRRRAAAAHHHH* goes my car as I give the smallest rev possible. I could tell it ticked him off as he quickly drove off in a huff
“Time to go see the peeps” I smile to myself as I back out heading to the mall to see some of my old friends.
I drive alongside Kyle as he lead the way to the mall….I admit since I have been back in Haven City I had completely forgot about where the mall was located the main street shops where I lived had everything I needed and I needed very little just food and occasionally a newspaper to read…I was far too busy trying to find my way back home…in Equestria.
I finally got sick of the depressing atmosphere of my car and turned the radio on and set it to the CD player setting…I forgot what CD’s I had inside the CD player so I was wondering what music would come on. The CD player finally begins playing and a favourite song of mine came on called I Cry by Flo Rida
“Man I Missed listening to this music” I say rocking out to the song in the car”
“I know…Caught up in the middle…I cry, just a little…When I think of letting go…Oh no…Gave up on the riddle…I cry, just a little…When I think of letting go” I begin to sing driving a little faster than the usual speed limit and cutting in front of Kyle
I finally arrive at the mall even though it took me a little longer to get there because I missed the first turn off
“I see you finally arrived” Laughs Kyle
“Yeah…I know I kind of missed the first turn off” I smile in embarrassment
“Why did you even zoom off for” laughs Kyle, “Are you Rainbow Dash or something”
Yeah Kyle was a brony as well as me but he didn’t like people knowing it since he was one of the popular kids at school
“Na im no Rainbow Dash” I smile secretly remembering the times we both spent together flying around performing tricks in the air, “Just got pumped from listening to Flo Rida”
“Oh my god Karl…you and your passion for good music” laughs Kyle placing his arm around my neck “we better go find the others….they probably think something’s happened to me”
We walk through the entrance of the mall and see Alyssa inside a clothing store.
“Hey Bro” Whispers Kyle, “why haven’t you asked her out yet…I’ve seen the way she looks at you and the way you both act when you are together”
“I don’t know…just haven’t” I say trying to avoid the conversation with Kyle…But I knew that wouldn’t happen
“Why not” questions Kyle
“Well….I…It’s complicated” I say softly
“Come on bro, it can’t be that complicated” adds Kyle
“Hey Alyssa” I yell trying to break the convocation
“Oh Hi Karl” says Alyssa as she places the shirt back on the rack and runs over, “I thought you were busy working on an assignment” says Alyssa as she gives me a hug
“It didn’t look like you were working on a assignment when I found you” laughs Kyle, “Cause last time I checked when did assignments involve looking around abounded shacks in the forest”
“What where you doing in the forest?” questions Alyssa
“I was….Doing a science assignment…getting some fresh samples from the forest and that’s when I stumbled upon the shack and I guess curiosity got the better off me” I lie nervously still not liking lying to Alyssa
“Oh Okay…that would explain it” smiles Alyssa not questioning me for a second
“So…how about we get something to eat” I say changing the subject
“Yeah sure that would be nice” smiles Alyssa
“Yeah if you’re shouting…just let me get tiffany and Jak” says Kyle
“Yeah cool I’ll meet you in the food court” I smile
“Yeah no worries bro” adds Kyle
Me and Alyssa walk of over to the food court and seat down as we wait for the others

A/N: the whole driving scene bit came to me when i was rocking out to some Escape the Fate earlier this fair mourn and I have noticed how I have begun to speed when rocking out to certain songs that get me pumped for the up and coming SoundWave 2013 (even though it is 6 months away)

Chapter 8: Tending the Animals

Chapter 8:

“Meanwhile in Ponyville”

“Come on Dusk” says Twilight in annoyance, “Earth to Dusk”
“Ha” mutters Dusk as he shacks his head
“Dusk…Come on, Nurse Redheart isn’t going to wait for ever” says Twilight finally getting something out of Dusk
“Oh yeah” chuckles Dusk trotting over to Twilight
“You alright Dusk?” asks Twilight looking at Dusk with a crocked face
“Yeah im alright…I’m just thinking” says Dusk softly
“What were you thinking about?”
“Ugh…nothing, you don’t need to worry”
“Alright then….Well we better go and see Nurse Redheart, she won’t be waiting around all day” smiles Twilight as she trots of to Nurse Redheart’s office.
“Yeah” smiles Dusk trying to catch up to Twilight
Twilight and Dusk walk over to Nurse Redheart’s office and knock politely on the front door
“Come in” says a moppy voice
“Mare’s First” smiles Dusk as he holds the door open for Twilight
“Thanks” Smiles Twilight a small red blush appearing around her cheeks
“So…how may I help you today” yawns Nurse Redheart
“You sound tired…Nurse Redheart” says Twilight
“Yeah it comes with the job” yawns Nurse Redheart, “So...how can I help you”
“I was wondering if you had any medicine for a sick rabbit” asks Twilight
“Ah im guessing Miss Fluttershy’s Rabbit Angel has come down with the flu again” Says Nurse Redheart
“Yep, and she happens to have ran out of medicine so she sent me to get some more” smiles Twilight
“Well here is the usual I give Fluttershy but if he doesn’t improve in a couple of days come back and I will prescribe a stronger medicine” says Nurse Redheart handing over a white bottle labelled Rabbit Medicine
“Thank you Nurse Redheart” smiles Twilight, “hope you have a wonderful day”
“Yeah you to” yawns Nurse Redheart before crashing into a nearby chair
“Thank you” I smile

We walk out of the clinic and begin heading towards Fluttershy’s Cottage
“So Twilight…” says Dusk
“Yes Dusk” smiles twilight
“I was wondering, when the teleportation Device is completed….Will there be a chance that my father isn’t able to come back”
“Well there is a small chance that he may not be able to come back to Equestria”
“What do u mean small chance” says Dusk looking at twilight in shock, “I thought this would work 100%”
“well there is a possibility that we may not be able to find your father in human form, we have no clue what he looks like and where he would be on earth.”
“That’s not really a small chance is it…more like a 50/50 chance we will find him”
“Maybe….But I wouldn't worry too much about it” reassures Twilight, “Your father is strong and I believe we will find him no matter the odds”
“Yeah….I hope so” grunts Dusk as he kicks a small rock across the narrow path

We continue walking to Fluttershy’s talking about anything that would come to mind….actually no that’s a lie, mainly about the new book ‘Canterlot wonders’ that she had been reading for the past few days. It was an non-fiction about Canterlot and the princess’s castle. If it was any other pony talking about this kind of book I would have been bored to tears, but since it was Twilight I was left feeling as if I should head home and read it.
“Dusk hurry up, were almost there” yells Twilight nothing I was about 10 miles behind
“Oh sorry, Twilight…just lost in thought” I yell rushing towards twilights side.

We finally reach Fluttershy"s cottage and are greeted by the usual fluttering butterflies similar to those of Fluttershy’s Cutie mark.
“Must be Butterfly season” Smiles twilight as she knocks on the cottage
“Is there even such a thing?” I say challenging Twilights knowledge knowing I would certainly lose.
“Of course there is its called…” pauses Twilight
“all you had to say was yes” I but in
“Oh…thanks” blushes Twilight
Twilight knocks on the door a second time, hoping to get a response from Fluttershy…but there was nothing but the rustling of trees.
“That’s odd, usually Fluttershy answers the first knock” I say in confusion as I knock on the door for the third time, “Fluttershy are you there its Dusk and Twilight, we have the medicine for Angel”
But there was still no answer
“That’s strange, something isn't right” I say looking at Twilight with worry as I walk to the side of the house
“Where are you going” shouts Twilight
“Im going to find another entrance” I shout back, investigating for an opened window or a possibly entrance to the Cottage
“Are you Crazy, you can’t break into Fluttershy’s cottage” shouts Twilight, “you might get caught”
“Seriously, we are out in the wilderness, not far from the Everfree forest and you think a royal guard or any other pony is going to walk on by?” I chuckle as I slid open a window.
As if on cue, Pinkie Pie comes Bouncing by chasing a yellow floating balloon.
“Get back here Mr. Balloon your for Mr Cakes surprise party” say Pinkie bouncing on pass
“You were saying?” giggles Twilight
“Now that was random… but For all you know Fluttershy could be serverly hurt in there and this is the only way we could find out” I say ready to climb through
“But what if Fluttershy isn't there and I could always Tele…” before Twilight could finish I climb through the window in to the darkened cottage
“Teleport us in” Grunts Twilight as teleports to my side, “Agh it’s so dark in here why are all the windows and lights off…this isn't like Fluttershy like all” says Twilight making her way to possible light source
Next thing we heard was a loud bang close to twilight’s location
“Owww” moans Twilight
“What did you do?” I ask
“I kicked the chair” says Twilight looking as if she was grasping her hoof,
“That was silly” I giggle
“That’s it” grunts Twilight
I could see Twilights horn light up with a purple/violet aura and the next thing we knew all the lights within the cottage were on…even In the rooms we weren't standing in
“I don’t think you needed to turn every light on, but still good magic” I smile
“Oh…yeah…maybe” blushes Twilight
“Now where is Fluttershy?” I say
“I will go check the bedroom and you go check the kitchen” Smiles Twilight as she trots off towards Fluttershy’s Chambers
As im searching for any possible signs of Fluttershy… I hear a loud “Oh my god!!!” possibly as loud as my mother’s from Fluttershy’s Bedroom. Out of pure instinct, I rush to Fluttershy’s Chambers and….
“Oh my God!!!” I say in shock.
