''Such bullshit''

After escaping from his stone prison Discord, god of chaos was able to corrupt most of the elements of harmony but like the first time he failed.The power of friendship and the letters from the princess led her student Twilight Sparkle to show her friends their old memories which led them to 'once and for all' encase Discord in stone again.

In the process of being turned into stone something was released, that was me but I don't have a name at all but in time i'll probably figure it out.


''I don't think my presence is liked at all'' a grey pony said to a grey bunny that was just like him but since it was a stuffed animal it couldn't respond but only stare back at him with its black button eyes;sighing as his only friend in Ponyville couldn't provide any comfort nor words of confidence for him the pony got up from his tiny bed and walked over to a desk.

As his slow steps brought him to the desk he used a wing 'yes he is a pegasus' to pull open the top drawer as the crystal shard bumped against the wall of the drawer softly; pulling out the shard he tucked it into his wing he than walked into his bathroom that was placed inside his bathroom because of its tiny nature.As the door hit the wall our unnamed pony walked inside and stood in front of the mirror over the sink looking at his curved muzzle and colorless white mixed with grey eyes.

''Now I understand'' he lifted the shard with a wing and traced it over the sides of his face leaving black markings instead of blood, dropping the shard into the sink that had black liquid slowly dripping into it drip by drip.''Life's just not fair.''

After a month of isolation in his house our grey pegasus strapped a black gas mask onto his face than a saddlebag;ready to open the door he than stopped as he grabbed his bunny friend ''almost forgot'' and put it deep inside the bag.

As bright morning light filled the room as the door was opened than closed as our pony friend walked out and followed a dirt path showing us that his house which was nearly on its last legs and once again our focus was changed back to 'lets call him.... gray' Gray who was now entering ponyville as most of the ponies who saw him quickly ran back into their houses making his mood reach a new low.

''Atleast I got you Bun'' talking to his friend was the only comfort life could give him;making up his mind of where to go Gray walked into a nearby store that sold flowers.

From there we could only get a brief show of how the ponies of ponyville treat Gray, to getting kicked out with a broom, having the door slammed on him numerous time until finally he was accidentally bucked in the face leading him to go flying out of the village 'ouch'.

Struggling to push himself out of a dirt pile that was built up when he skidded to a stop during his flight ''hmmmph'' with one last kick he got his head out and started coughing out the dirt than widening his eyes as he quickly got up and started searching the area around him.

''Where is it?'' his monotone voice seemingly showing his voice as non caring ''where is it?'' looking around in a panic he finally caught sight of his friend as his ear was sticking out of the dirt ''oh no'' rushing over to him he carefully picked up the ear which was surprisingly easy as he looked down to his friends ear that was leaking stuffing seeing as it wasn't connected.


After some searching around Gray wasn't able to find his stuffed bunny he lowered his head as he sat down at the edge of Ponyville he pulled his front hoofs over his head as he started rocking back and forth as a throbbing feeling inside his chest was starting to hurt him ''whats wrong with me?'' after moments of taking deep intakes of air the throbbing stopped ''finally''.

Deciding on what to do Gray slowly made his way to a river outside of Ponyville recalling his time in Ponyville after waking up in the Everfree ''this is the right thing'' slowly coming to a stop at the edge of the river he laid on his stomach, exhaled than dunked his head into the cold water leaving his eyes open as he watched fish quickly swim away from him in fright.

Many moments of being underwater Gray heard a muffled voice above him ''o- an-- I --n't thi-- an--- h-r- O- MY!'' feeling himself getting dragged out of the water Gray struggled to keep his grip underwater until he felt force in his rear leg that made him fall onto a rock in the water making him lose his grip.

''Oh my Mr what were you doing underwater? that can be dangerous'' Gray started shaking his head dry off water ''nothing much... just trying to leave Equestria for a bit'' unstrapping his mask and tossing it to his side he heard a gasp than a response ''but why would you ever want to leave equestria?''

And that's when someone would say 'life got so much better from there' its not true a friendly relationship with a yellow pegasus mare saved Gray from his failed suicide;but like most middle school friendships its wouldn't last.

Walking side by side with Fluttershy Gray was for once not wearing his mask in public anymore ''Fluttershy if I may ask... why did you save me that day?'' this caused the buttermilk mare to stop and look at him for a little than smiled ''because every pony life is precious to me and losing one to themselves would make me very sad; so don't think like that we are friends and everyone finds atleast one friend and that one friend is me'' she finished with a smile ''t-thank you Fluttershy'' Gray struggled to get the word out of his mouth but was able to as they kept walking to her cottage.


Many months of friendship given to him by Fluttershy Gray was slowly gaining some color, his mane and tail both grew a black streak and after that he was finally able to stop using the shard on himself.

Sadly, Gray hadn't heard from the timid mare anymore and started letting his dark thinking get to him 'maybe she doesn't want to be friends anymore?' ''no- no Fluttershy would never stop being friends with me she must be sick or something, y-yeah! i'll just go visit her today.''

Walking in and out of Ponyville to his friends cottage he was slightly surprised to see the river turned into ice 'weird' shrugging it off Gray went over to the gate leading into the house ''ok just walk in and go check up on fluttershy'' he opened the gates latch and pushed it open;''oh my what do we have here?'' he looked around until he finally looked up to see a mix and match of animals mushed together into one dragon like being ''looks like one of my powers got out without me'' the thing chuckled as it snapped its fingers as his mouth opened and tongue extended it out as it rapped around Gray lifting him up into the sky and swallowing him whole as Gray started struggling once he found out what was happening.

''N-no wait!'' his voice was muffled as he went down the things throat and finally nothing was heard as the rest of his body turned into dust as it merged into the things already misshapen body.

''Now that feels better; a complete Discord is a good Discord!'' Discord patted his stomach as he snapped his fingers and teleported into Fluttershy's house right back into a seat with a floating tea cup he took back into his hand ''my discord are you alright? '' the mare asked ''yes my dear Fluttershy'' a smile started to grow ''just peachy''.

After that all of the ponies in Ponyville grew happier and forgot all about the depressing stallion that lived outside of Ponyville even Fluttershy who once reformed Discord forgot about the friend she saved.

How sad.


Author's Note

Well I just had to get that out of my mind; i'll still continue the other story this was just a story that came into my mind earlier today.
