Just another escape

Well it has been a ordinary day for Gold Star, breaking one of his legs, getting chased because he had to take some food to live another day, not like he wanted to steal but he didn't have any bits. Fortunately Manehatten had lots of alleyways and skyscrapers for him to lose the angry pegasus chasing him, what with being able to out race a Wonderbolt without trying of course. Gold saw a alleyway and decided to enter, cut a couple of corners and be done with the daily chase.

After being chased around the city for Celestia knows how many times a pony tend to learn it, so with this trait he knew where he was gunna end up and where the angry pegasus that Gold can only assume is the shopkeeper was going to end up.

After gracefully cutting some corners he decides that he wanted to flying up and land on the nearby skyscraper, wanting to see if the pegasus that chased was wondering where he went. What he saw was more amusing than he thought it was going to be, the pegasus was now flying in circles maybe thinking he was around the corner.

Letting out a light chuckle he takes off, Gold flies out of the city and decides that staying in Manehatten after all the thing he took to keep himself going was a bad idea, so instead he just keep flying the way he originally set his flight path on.

But after a good half-hour of lazily flying did he only now realized that he left something quite valuable to him behind, hating himself more than he already does he turned around and sped back to where he hid it in Manehatten.

After flying for a couple of minutes he found the spot where he hid a prize possession of his, landing he suddenly remembered his broken leg, "Ow! Celestia dam it, why did I take from a pegasus who I wasn't watching!" Suddenly Gold started to chuckle remembering how he broke his leg.

The shopkeeper was eyeing him as he was picking up some apples, Gold wasn't really paying attention as he walked over but he started to pay attention when he saw the shopkeeper swing a bat at him he narrowly dodge it but it nicked his leg but that wasn't what got it broke. As his attention centered on the shopkeeper he sucker punched Gold sending him flying across the shop, when he attempted to get is when he got his broken leg. The damn shopkeeper hit Gold in his leg as he got up in order to try and stop Gold from getting up. But instead of tripping Gold as intended he saw it as his opportunity to launch himself to the side, laughing as he heard the shopkeeper become angry and yell, now realizing that Gold was making his get away.

Remembering that the next time he had to take something from somepony he would have to watch them. So after he grabbed what he came back for, he hid it safely back under his wing, then it happen, Gold heard the sound of somepony running behind him and in more of a panicked take off he was off the ground.

Gold wasn't going to fly in any other direction except up, until he knew who was chasing him. It was then he heard a familiar yell, Gold looked over his shoulder to see if it was. Gold couldn't believe that the shopkeeper was able to find him, But then again he remember he is a white stallion in the middle of a dark city.

"Hey you aren't angry about those apples are you?"

He knew better than to ask that but what about the amusement he would find in it later, it would be far better if did ask. Instead of a educated answer he got a random yell filled with him probably cursing Gold's mother and other things. Thinking he has flown up long enough he changes directions and just flies to the right hoping that it would get him to a city. Gold was flying for what felt was an hour without hearing a random yell so he decided to look over his shoulder, glad he didn't see a angry stallion chasing him he finally stopped.

Checking if he was okay he looked over his body to see if he was fine and knowing nothing in medicine he was pretty much screwed about his broken leg which now was swelling, to make matters only worse he noticed that the area around his broken leg had turned purple and was causing some immense pain. "Yea I'm gunna have to find out what to do with that."

Wondering what time it is he looked to see the sun high in the sky, "Not like this day was long enough already." Gold mumbled to himself. He spent a few hours remembering thing from the past, like how he use to get called "The Golden Shooting Star" and how he got his cutie mark which he like quite much. A shooting star for a cutie mark to anypony it is a reminder of why Gold is so fast. His "friends" as he called them said that he moved as fast as a shooting star, Gold really doubted them it is impossible like a Sonic Rainboom being impossible but he did believe them when they said he was fast.

"Well today has been exciting but if i'm gunna be able to out fly anyone then I might want some sleep." But if Gold was going to get some sleep it sure won't be on the ground, so he searched for a big fluffy cloud to rest on for the night. For the next few hours he searched for a cloud he could finally sleep on. "Is it really that damn hard to find a freaking cloud seriously!" Gold shouted out of frustration, and on queue a cloud drift lazily like it was pushed in front of him. He spent the next few minutes ranting about how fate likes to mess with him and how that he should have saw it, yawning he finally lands on the cloud and pulled out one of the apples he took,"Well if I have to steal rather than rely on someone to help me then I would rather steal than let it happen again." Eating the apple Gold became quite satisfied that he wouldn't starve that night, after that he fell asleep.
