Who am IWho Am I I wake up in the middle of a field, not knowing where I’m at, or what day it is, for a matter of fact I don’t even know my name, who I am, or what I am. As I look at my body I find out that I have four legs and a tail, not sure what all this means by a long shot. I try and stand up, after seeing that I was lying on the ground. As I try and pull my front legs under my body trying to get my balance, only to fall flat on my face. “I just seem can’t seem to get my balance”, I think to myself I try again trying to get to my hoofs well I think that what the bottom of my legs are called. I finally manage to get all four legs under my body, and then I push up, raising my body off the ground, finally standing on all fours I try and take a step forward , I found when I move my left hoof, my right back hoof moves. Not really knowing that I fall back to the ground, landing in a puff a dust “OUCH” I cry out, looking around making sure no one saw me fall as a sack of apples Getting back on my hoofs, I managed to get a few steps, before fall down again, but I getting the hang of walking on four legs, but I’m not sure why I’m having a tough time with this, but having no memory will do that to you, after a few more times of falling down and getting back up, I got the hang of walking on all fours, a spend a few more minutes walking around the field that I woke up in. I look back to inspect what my body looks like when it’s not laying on the ground. From what I can tell, I think I’m male, my coat is all black with some light red in the tail and my hair, there is a weird make on both sides of my back legs, I’m guessing of what to call it, so I’m going to call it my flanks. Having said that to myself it sounds about right. One other thing that I noticed is two extra appendages coming out from my shoulders, I fell that these other appendages are very important to my body. I extend the two appendages from my body trying to figure out what they are and what they might do. As they start to unfold the new things at my side, I start to figure out what they might be, “There wings, why would I have wings? Just what kind of thing am I? I’m just really confused on what’s going on.” When I stop talking and listen expecting an answer to my question, but finding none coming my way. Still looking at my wings, I think to myself “maybe I can fly or something, but I better found someone first that might know something about me, and where I am.” I fold my wings back against my body. I finally take a look around at my surrounding’s, the closest thing that I can see in a big red barn, that is surround by fields of apple trees, but see no one about, I turn my head to left seeing a road leading somewhere in to the distance, I turn my head to the left and only seeing the field that I woke up in. I decide that the best place to start is that big red barn. I just hope there is someone there that can tell me what I am, where I am, and the hope of finding my in this weird world. I start walk toward the big red barn, still a little shaky, but getting over it quickly. The walk to barn will be a bit of a long one, as I’m walking slowly so I don’t fall flat on my face again. The barn looks to be a few miles away it going to some time to get there. I head off to the barn in the distance, hoping something will help me out. As I start walking towards the big red barn that's in the distance, I hear whats sounds like hoof steps coming up from behind me. I turn around to see if something is fallowing me. With a quick turn of my head, I look back and see nothing there, i start turning my head back toward the big red barn, still in the distance only to see, a poofy pink thing in my way, that smells a bit like cotton candy. That's all i can see in fount of me, then I hear a vary loud gasp from the poofy pink thing, then it was gone. Shakeing my head thinking was was just see thing, all the while looking for the pink thing block my path to the red barn, but not seeing a thing. "Whatever that was I'm not really sure I want to know what it could be." I think to myself I continue on ward to the red barn, getting a bit closer with every step that I take. During that time of walking i continue to think to myself, "Where am I, Who am I, what in the hay was that pink thing that smelled like cotton candy. I just i can find something the can help me out. "Why did i just say what in the hay." Still not sure whats going on, I continue to the barn. I start seeing more details of the red barn. It looks like its been recently repainted. I think to myself "so there is something here, that might help me with my problem." Other things I see are baskets laying on the ground all around the barn, some have apples in them, and the ones that don't have anything in them are stacked up in nice little rows up against the side of the barn. "Who ever did this takes good care to make them look good." 2. Knowing2.Knowing After about 30 minutes of walking toward the red barn, I finally make to the red barn. Now that I’m at the barn I can see that there are a few more buildings here. One of is the main house I’m guessing, where the things of the world live, eat, and to sleep. There is also a silo hiding behind the barn, look newly painted too. I walk to the open door of the barn to see if anything is inside. I cautiously come up the open door the barn and peer inside. The only thing to be seen inside of the barn is more baskets stacked to the ceiling. “Why would they need so many baskets, there can’t be that many apple trees here can there?” saying this out loud. With nothing more to look at inside the barn, I turn around and look at the main house that was about a two minute walk from the barn. I start walking to the house, noticing that it was will made, and that it would withstand the biggest of storms. Though the color of the house has faded over the years, that being seen with the rest of the buildings here. That the house would be that last to get repainted. The house is kind of a strange color, none that I have seen before. Of course I don’t really know anything right now. As I get closer to the faded house, I start here some voices. I can’t really make out what they are saying though the walls. At the very moment a golden orange creature comes busting out the door. The loudness of the slamming door and the yelling of voices inside the house took me back. I tried looking for a place to hide, but seeing nothing in the immediate vicinity to duck behind. I just stand there in awe of this moment not know what to do or what to say to this golden orange creature. “Howdy there stranger” said the golden orange creature “U…U…U…Um Hi” I say back with a slight stutter in my voice “Sorry about the ruckus, we were have a family meeting, and it got a might out of hand” as the golden orange creature looks at me up and down with her big green eyes. “U…u…u…um that’s ok” looking down at the ground. “Names Applejack, and who might you be. I’ve never seen y’all round these parts I reckon” walking up to me slowly, not sure of what I might do. “So her, will I think it’s a her. Her name is Applejack” I think to myself “I…I…Im not sure what my name is, what I am or what you are for a matter of fact” I say back to her, still looking down at the ground. “I…I just woke up in that field” as I point to the barren field with one of my hoofs. “Ah I see sugercube, I might be able to help you out for a spell. Will first of do you even know what gender you are? As you tell from my voice, I’m Female or a girl if you like. “So I was right she is a she, what with the sugercube thing to” I think to myself and a bit puzzled “N…n…not really I was guessing when I was on the field.” “Will sugercube you are male, I also see the wings on your side” as she pushes a nose into them “That I know, but what does that make me?” get a little more relaxed, and felling her nose one of my wings . “That makes ya a Pegasus, the darkest Pegasus I have ever seen though” removing her nose from my wing. “A PEGASUS, what in the hay is a Pegasus!!” I say almost my yelling at the top my lungs “I don’t really know how to answer that for y’all, as you can see I’m not a Pegasus, I’m what otherponys call an earth pony.” As she turns her side to me showing it to, there are no wings on her sides. As I look at her a notices the mark on her flake. “W…w…what is that mark on your side there, I have one two but it’s different from yours.” Turning to my side to show Applejack the mark. “Ay that would be y’all cutie mark, everypony has one, other than some young fillies.” Applejack said with a weird look on her face. “Y’all cutie mark represents y’all special talent.” Looking at my cutie mark “It kind of looks like mist or some sort of cloud, I might be a weather pony.” Returning to face me. “Mist you say, that sound vary vary familiar, judging by my black coat…” trailing off, as my head starts to hurt, bring up a hoof to my forehead rubbing it slightly “Y’ all ok there sugercube.” Looking back at me with a concern face. As the pain fades away from my head “I’m ok,I remember something about myself, after hearing the word mist, then looking at my coat I think I know my name its ether Mistdark, or Darkmist…” as I trail off again with another headache. I shake my head letting the pain fade from my mind. “After saying the name Darkmist, I got another headache, know I sure that my name is Darkmist.” Doing a little jump for joy “One more question I like to ask you Applejack, what kind of creature am I, and what kind are you. I’m guessing that being a Pegasus is what my race is, but not my species is?” As I look at Applejack with questioning eyes. “Y’all species is a pony, the same me, and ya y’all race is the Pegasus, the wings are y’all side prove that. Tell the truth I don’t know much about Pegasus’s, but I just might know a pony that can help you out that bit of information.” Said Applejack looking up to the sky, but not seeing what she was looking for. “Ah I see so that’s why you’re always say pony this and pony that.” I say while looking up with her, but not seeing anything, also I was not sure what I was looking for in the first place. “Oh horseapples where’s rainbow when you need her, will she might be town.” Returning her attention to me. “Will I suggest that we head into town to see if we can’t find her there? It’s just down the road from here.” Pointing down the dirt road I saw earlier with a hoof. “Sounds like plan to me.” Fallowing her hoof to the road “will I would like to get more information about this Pegasus deal. We head off into the road leading to this pony town in a land that I don’t know anything about. I fallow Applejack to the road, and we start our little journey to the town, trying to find this Rainbow pony that will be able to teach me about Pegasus’s, and what they do. Walking side by side with Applejack the first pony I meet here feeling good about myself, having found out about my name. My name is Darkmist, I’m a pony and I’m a Pegasus. 3. Meeting The Others Meeting the Others As Applejack and I walk down the road to town, I’m still thinking about the pass half-hour and the conversion I had with Applejack. Finally getting some answers about my life, will just finding out my name is the first step to getting to know who I am. For once I I’m thinking that given time I will know everything about myself. “Here’s hoping” I say “Y’all say something” asked Applejack “Uh what, oh sorry just talking to myself” looking at the ground “Not a problem sugercube” said Applejack We continue walking to town, not really talking much, just Applejack asking some random questions about what I would know about myself, most of the answers came up as a no, as I can’t answer most of the questions she asked of me. Some were like “do you know what your talent is?” or “how did you end up in my field?” and there was a few others too “If y’all what to get to town sometime day, I think we should pick up the pace, if we keep this pace we won’t make it to town before night fall ” Says Applejack looking down the road. “I’m not sure if I can speed up, but I can try.” Saying back to Applejack “It’s easy, all you have to really do is to move y’all legs a bit faster” said Applejack still looking down the road, then up to the sky looking at the sun. I start moving my legs faster than what I’m used to, I start moving faster than the walk, thinking to myself I’m doing it, I move my legs even faster also seeing Applejack right by my side keeping the same pace as me. “Looks like you got it” says Applejack I could not respond to her, it was taking all my concentration to keep all four legs moving in time, so I don’t fall on my face. Looking up from the ground I spy Applejack up a head on a slight hill, trotting up to her on the hill. Only to see the most magnificent sight sprawling out before my eyes, slightly to the right of the hill was a small town. A lot farther in the distance and a bit to the left of the small town was a castle, will I think it was a castle can’t really be sure what it was, as it looked very far off in the distance, it looks like it would take a few days to get there. Even more left of the distant castle there is a forest, a deep dark forest, I shiver just looking at the dark place. I hope I never have to go into there I think to myself. To the right of the small town were some massive mountains looming over the little valley that the town is nestled in. Other than that the rest of the view is of plains of grass going all around the little town . I have so many question that I want to ask Applejack, but I hold off on asking them thinking everything I like to know will come in due time. “Will how do y’all like the view” says Applejack “It’s a wonderful view I could look at it all day.” I say back “The town over there is called Ponyville, the castle y’all see in the distance is not really a castle, but more of a really big town and it’s called canterlot. The forest you see to my left is called the Everfree forest, don’t y’all go in there, and it’s a bit dangerous. Other than that we are heading for Ponyville, so let’s get a move on shall we?” Here all that in one go had my head spinning , ok so we are going to the little town called Ponyville this should be fun, I think to myself as I continue to fallow Applejack down the hill at a nice trot. After other thirty minutes at a trot I found myself at the entrance of Ponyville, Only to see many ponies around town going about their business. “Wow there’s a lot more than I thought” as I point out the obvious “That there are” replied Applejack We start walking to the middle of town, and it looks like we are heading for a giant tree at one end of the center of town. Only when we get about hundred or so hoofs away, I start seeing that it’s not just a tree, but also a home I think. I and Applejack reach the door of the tree. She knocks on the door with her hoof. After a few minutes wait, the door opens up all on its own with a slight glow of a purplish pink about it. I watch Applejack enter the house; I follow her from behind trying to look like I’m not there. “Why is it so dang dark in here, Hey Twi is are you here” says Applejack into the darkness At the moment the door behind us closes all by its self again, and then the lights flick on. “SURPRISE” I jump back falling on my rump, at the loudness of the many voices at once, closing my eyes trying to make it all go away thinking that this is all a bad dream and I will wake up in my bed at home, ya like that would happen, I don’t even know where my home is at. I think to myself trying to hide from the voice. “Now, now there you silly colt, it’s a party for you. You’re new here and I like throwing party’s for new ponies to our town.” Nodding to the sound of a very hyper voice coming from above my head, I slowly look up to see who is talking to me only to see pink hair in my face, and noticing the smell of cotton candy. “Come now it’s your party mister shy.” I slowly get back to my hoofs, still having my eyes closed, once I’m up on all four I open my eyes and only seeing six ponies standing in fount of me, All of them with their eyes on me hoping I would say something, but have no voice to say anything. I look at each of them, there’s Applejack of course with her golden orange coat, and flowing blond hair. Another has a purple coat and dark blue hair with a pink strip in the middle of it. There’s a pink pony to, with some crazy looking hair, it looks like it’s never been brushed, I also guessing that this one was the one that smells like cotton candy. Moving over to the three in the room, there’s one with a coat of white, with the best looking purple hair that I’ve seen. One pony looks as shy and timid, as I look right now, though this pony’s coat is like a golden yellow, with hair of pink. The last pony in the room is the strangest of them all, this one has the coat of sky, naming saying that it light blue, but that’s not the strangest part of this pony, the color of its hair looks like a newly formed rainbow. “Hey dark let me introduce y’all to my friends, the one to throw the little party for y’all is Pinkie Pie” pointing to the bright pink pony. “This one here is Twilight Sparkles, this is her place” pointing to the purple pony with the pink strip in her hair. “This shy one over here is Fluttershy” trying to pull the pony to her hoofs. “This one here is Rarity” pointing to the white coated pony with the great hair. “Last and but not least this here is Rainbow Dash” putting a fount leg around the blue pony with the multi-color hair. All at once they yell “WELCOME” 4. Two years Later4. Two Years Later As the year passed before me, I started loving this little town of Ponyville, in the past two years I seen the city of Canterlot, gone to Cloudsdale with Rainbow Dash, and Fluttershy, that of course after days of flight training with them both. I even got to meet Princess Celestia, and her sister Princess Luna. I meet them by luck, after Twilight had to go to Canterlot on some business, she asked if I would like to help her out, of course I said yes. After our visit with the Princess’s I continued to help Twilight for the rest of the time we were there. At the end of our stay we went back to see Princess Celestia to ask for help. It didn’t turn out so will. Princess Celestia could not help me in any way, shape, or form. That had me pretty down on the ride back to Ponyville. After returning to town, I went straight to my room when we got in to Ponyville. Will I still don’t really have a permanent home for myself. I’ve been living in a spare bedroom at Twilights library, the room was small, but I will make do until I can get a place of my own. I’m grateful for all that Twilight and the rest of the ponies in town for helping me out, and making me feel welcome here. Other year has passed while I live in Ponyville. Today was the same day two years ago that I woke up in the middle of field with no memory of who or what I was. Pinkie Pie has taken it upon herself to throw me a birthday party on this day, all because I still can’t remember what day, month, or year I was born. So having a birthday party on the day I woke up here seems to be the logical choice for a birthday party. “Thanks Pinkie for the party”, I say enjoy the games and music. “Will you’re most welcome”, says Pinkie, all the while bouncing up and down “I going to say hi the everyone else, I’ll catch you later Pinkie”, as I walk away from the over hyper pink pony “oki doki loki”, as she bounces away I walk to Fluttershy, thanking her for coming, she always been a bit weary of me, but I’m ok with that, I was just like her when I first meet the group two years ago. After about three weeks of not really talking to otherponys, Rainbow Dash was the one to help me out. She told me that I need to open up and start making friends. I took her advice to heart and did just that. I’m friends with almost everypony in town. After I finished talking to Fluttershy, I went over and talked with the rest of the group, but leaving Rainbow Dash for last. After talking to the rest of the group, and playing a few games with Applejack, and dancing with Rarity, I walk to Rainbow. “Sup Rainbow”, I say walking up to her. “Sup Dark”, she replies back. “I’m itching to get out of here, and fly”, as I stop in fount of the light blue mare “I couldn’t agree with you more, lets blow this joint and fly”, as she unfolds her wings I and Rainbow slip out of the library, once out we both jump up and beat our wings as we head up to the sky. I’m not as skilled as Rainbow in flying, but I’m still working on it. I sit on a cloud watching Rainbow do tricks, spins, loops, and other aerial maneuvers. “That’s the best show yet!” I yell to Rainbow. “Thanks, I’m just that awesome”, she says back, landing on the same cloud that I’m sitting on. “Man I wish I could fly like you, your skill is unmatched”, as I pat her on the back. “One day you will”, she says as she looks out to the giant blue sky. “I really would like to see one of your sonic rainbooms one of these day”, I say to her. “Ha ha ha, the last time I did that I broke every window in Ponyville, I learned from that day never to a rainboom near any town, Ha ha ha”, said Rainbow, now looking at me. “Ha ha ha, that must have cost a pretty bit to repair all the windows”, I say looking back at her. “Ha you have no idea, I had to work for two months straight and overtime to make the money to get all the windows fixed in town”, she says getting ready for another routine. This time I join her in the endless expanse of the sky, enjoying the wind though our manes and the wind under our wings. I enjoy the time I spend with Rainbow Dash, the flying, the stunts; I always have a great time with her. After a few more hours of flying with her, my wings are at their limits, unlike Rainbow who could fly all day and night without losing a beat. I bid farewell to Rainbow, as I glide slowly to the ground. “I’m going to fell this in the morning”, I say to myself, folding my wings to my side, and trotting to the library to get some rest. I near the library only to get buzzed by something out of nowhere. I look around and I see Rainbow hovering just over the ground laughing. “Ha ha ha ha, sorry I could resist the urge to buzz you”, she said landing lightly on the ground. “I swear, you and pinkie are the prank masters”, I say looking at her with glaring eyes. “That’s very true, no here can beat us in pranks”, she says as she walks to the door of the library and pushes it open. I follow her into the library, the party there seems to have end. The otherponys must have gone home some time ago. I look around the room see that Spike is still cleaning up the mess from the party. “Hey Spike”, I say as I enter the main room. “Oh hi Darkmist, how everything going” he responds. “Oh I’m a bit tired from flying all day, so I’m going to bed for the night”, I say back, heading for my small room off to the side of the main room. “Ok, see you in the morning” he says as I start to my bedroom door. “Hey wait up” I hear from the open door of the library I swing my head around, looking for the source of the voice, completely forgetting that Rainbow was here to. “What’s up Dash, need something”, Spike says “No it’s nothing, never mind”, responds Rainbow Dash, back out of the door way and closing the door behind her. I shrug my shoulders, then head to my room, I open the door to my room finding it the same way I left it this morning. There’s a bed in the corner with the sheets bundle up on top of it. A small dresser up against the left wall of the room, a nightstand next to the bed with nothing but a light on it, a mirror above the dresser. “Home Sweet Home” I say under my breath, as I jump in to bed I walk to the bed and lay down feeling beat, and ready to sleep for a good eight hours or longer. The only problem is that I can’t fall asleep, with my mind racing like the Wonderbolts on the track in Cloudsdale. For the past two years I have not really learned much about myself. I know my name, what I am, and what my special talent is. My special talent is working with the mist of the world, helping to make it, and to place the mist in the world. After I found that out, I started working with Rainbow helping out as much as possible with the weather. Other than though three things I still don’t know anything about myself . I start drifting off the sleep after about hour of laying on the bed thinking. My Last thought before I sleep over took me was, I love this town, and everypony in it, with that thought I was out getting the much need rest I needed. 5. Love Embrace Loves Embrace The next few days have been just the same, all blending together. Get out of bed, shower, eat, and then head off to work. Doing the same thing over, and over will get stale. But I still don’t have a place of my own so that’s the goal I’m working towards. Another thing that’s been on my mind is that I’m very lonely, not having a special some pony in my life. Well I’m not sure if I had one in my previous life before I woke up in that field at Sweet Apple Acres. I hate the thought of being lonely though, and I’ve been here for the past two years now, and I’ve met many different ponies. Though there is only one pony in this town that I might have something in common with, and I like her a lot to, from the very first day I saw her. I just have to figure out how to tell this pony how I feel about her, and I hope that she returns the same feelings back. After rolling out of bed from a restless night of thinking of how to tell that one pony how I feel. I stretch out my whole body, hearing it pop in many different place throughout. I walk to the little bastion that’s sitting on my dresser and splashed water onto my face to give myself a jolt to wake up. I push open my room’s door which leads to the main room of Twilight’s library. “Morning everypony.” I say as I enter the room “It’s not morning.” a voice replies back I took a quick peek out the window, only to see that the sun is high in the sky, shaking my head. “Wow I must have been out of it.” I say back to the voice. “You were tossing and turning all night Dark.” says the voice. I look around for the voice and I spy Spike up on a ladder putting books away. “Oh hey Spike, was I really tossing and turning all night?” I asked the little dragon. “Yeah you were, you kept me up half the night.” Spike said glaring back at me. “Sorry about that Spike, I just got a lot on my mind this morning.” I said back while still looking around the room “You wouldn’t happen to know where Twilight is at would you Spike?” “The last time I saw her, she was with Rainbow, Rainbow needed her help, something to do with the weather.” Spike responded while he continued to books away on the shelves of the library “Alright, thanks spike I’ll catch you later I have a few things that need to be done.” I say walking out the front door of the library I walked into the midday sun, and looked up at the clouds while stretching out my wings letting the sun hit them with their warming rays. “This is the day I tell my feelings to the pony that I fell in love with.” I say to myself as I continued to look up at the sky, as I walked through town looking for any hint of where Rainbow or Twilight might be. I scanned the sky of any signs of them, then I saw a light blue streak I almost missed it because it was hitting the light blue of the sky. I saw the streak heading toward Applejack’s farm. With a light hoof I started running in the direction of Sweet Apple Acres, only to stop ten feet later. “What the hey am I doing, I can just fly there.” After a short hop, skip, and a jump I was up in the air flying my way to the farm. After about a ten minute flight, I was circling the farm looking for any sign of Twilight or Rainbow anywhere. After circling twice I saw the purple mare standing near Applejack’s front door. I folded my wings and did a nose dive straight to the purple pony standing there. About thirty feet from the ground I spread my wings to slow my speed down so I can land. I landed a few feet away from Twilight. “Hi Twilight.” I said while folding my wings up. “Oh hi Darkmist, what brings you here today?” she asked while still looking at the door, waiting for something. “I was looking for Rainbow, have you seen her anywhere by chance?” I ask back. “Yeah I have I was helping her not to long ago, but right now I’m not sure.” She said still eyeing the door. “Can you at least tell me which way she went?” I asked looking at her with questioning eyes. “I think she flew off in that direction.” She answered as she pointed to town with a hoof. “Thanks Twilight.” I said while jumping up into the air and unfolding my wings. “No problem.” Twilight said from the ground. I headed back to town while thinking of the one place I could find Rainbow at this time of day. Then it hit me like a big bushel of apples. I turned my body and wings to the one building that would most likely hold Rainbow. Sugar Cube Corner would be the place I could find her at I thought. I then landed right on the front steps of the pastry shop. I pushed open the door of the shop; I spotted the sky blue mare standing at the counter talking to Mr. Cake I also saw Mrs. Cake running around in the kitchen behind Mr. Cake. I waited for them to finish talking. “Sup Rainbow.” I say to her once she finished her talk with Mr. Cake. “Hey Dark, what’s up?” She ask back with a questioning look on her face. “Nothing much, just wanted to know if you’re up for flying?” I say glancing out the window, and seeing the sun is nearing the horizon. “I’m always up for a good flying session” she said flapping her wings with glee. “Sweet I’ll wait for you outside.” I said, blushing a bit. “Cool I’ll be out there in a few.” she said before returning to Mr. Cake. I headed outside to wait for Rainbow finish up her business with the Cakes. After about a ten minute wait, the door to the shop open and out walks the light blue mare. Just by looking at her make my heart starts to hammer. “You seem to be done with your business.” I said while turning a shade of crimson. “Yep all done, so let’s get to the flying shall we.” She said back. “Yes lets” I said back, nodding my head. As I say that Rainbow is already in the air waiting for me. Not to leave her there hanging I join her in the openness of the sky. I took a quick peek at the sun, and saw that it had just started go below the horizon. We spent the next few hours flying and enjoying ourselves. Every so often Rainbow would try a new trick out, and I would sit and watch her perform it from a nearby cloud. The sun had set about thirty minutes ago. “Hey Rainbow let’s take a brake shall we!” I yell to her as I land on a cloud. “Yeah sounds good, my old wings kind of need a bit of rest.” She responds back, as she lands on the same cloud as me. “What I nice night.” I said while looking up at the stars. “That it is, it’s very lovely” She says back. “Yes you are” I said before I could stop myself, and then I started blushing. “W… w… what!” Said rainbow with all of her attention now turned on me. “I… I… I have a confession to make to you.” I said looking down to the ground with crimson radiating from my cheeks. “Oh and what that might be? Wait don’t tell me, I want to tell you something first.” She said with a little glee in her voice. My ears perked up and I looked at her only to look away, rather quickly. “Really, what might that be if I may ask?” I said trying not to look at her directly, only giving her small glances. “Well that’s the thing, I’m not exactly sure how to say this but here I go, I like you a lot, well like is too soft of a word it’s more like I love you. There I said it.” Finished Rainbow, slightly turning away from with crimson masking her cyan face. After I heard that I nearly fell off the cloud that we were sitting on, but I just barely managed to catch myself before I did. “W… what, really it makes me really happy to hear that, and I was going to say the same thing to you. I’ve had a crush on you since I first met you at Twilights library, and I love you too.” I responded while looking into her eyes as I said the three magical words. “Oh thank Celestia, here I thought you wouldn’t return the feeling, aw look at me getting all sappy.” Said Rainbow. “You can be sappy every so often.” I said back. “That is SOO true.” She responded. After her last word left her mouth, I pulled her close in a comforting hug. She also held me tight, then she looked up at me and I look back at her. Her muzzle was very close to mine, she then whispered “I love you.” She then kissed me passionately. I returned the kiss, and then we split apart for a few seconds allowing me to say “I love you too.” She then kissed me again, and then laid her head on my chest listening to my fluttering heartbeat. We spent the rest of night in each other’s warm embrace.
1. Who am IWho Am I I wake up in the middle of a field, not knowing where I’m at, or what day it is, for a matter of fact I don’t even know my name, who I am, or what I am. As I look at my body I find out that I have four legs and a tail, not sure what all this means by a long shot. I try and stand up, after seeing that I was lying on the ground. As I try and pull my front legs under my body trying to get my balance, only to fall flat on my face. “I just seem can’t seem to get my balance”, I think to myself I try again trying to get to my hoofs well I think that what the bottom of my legs are called. I finally manage to get all four legs under my body, and then I push up, raising my body off the ground, finally standing on all fours I try and take a step forward , I found when I move my left hoof, my right back hoof moves. Not really knowing that I fall back to the ground, landing in a puff a dust “OUCH” I cry out, looking around making sure no one saw me fall as a sack of apples Getting back on my hoofs, I managed to get a few steps, before fall down again, but I getting the hang of walking on four legs, but I’m not sure why I’m having a tough time with this, but having no memory will do that to you, after a few more times of falling down and getting back up, I got the hang of walking on all fours, a spend a few more minutes walking around the field that I woke up in. I look back to inspect what my body looks like when it’s not laying on the ground. From what I can tell, I think I’m male, my coat is all black with some light red in the tail and my hair, there is a weird make on both sides of my back legs, I’m guessing of what to call it, so I’m going to call it my flanks. Having said that to myself it sounds about right. One other thing that I noticed is two extra appendages coming out from my shoulders, I fell that these other appendages are very important to my body. I extend the two appendages from my body trying to figure out what they are and what they might do. As they start to unfold the new things at my side, I start to figure out what they might be, “There wings, why would I have wings? Just what kind of thing am I? I’m just really confused on what’s going on.” When I stop talking and listen expecting an answer to my question, but finding none coming my way. Still looking at my wings, I think to myself “maybe I can fly or something, but I better found someone first that might know something about me, and where I am.” I fold my wings back against my body. I finally take a look around at my surrounding’s, the closest thing that I can see in a big red barn, that is surround by fields of apple trees, but see no one about, I turn my head to left seeing a road leading somewhere in to the distance, I turn my head to the left and only seeing the field that I woke up in. I decide that the best place to start is that big red barn. I just hope there is someone there that can tell me what I am, where I am, and the hope of finding my in this weird world. I start walk toward the big red barn, still a little shaky, but getting over it quickly. The walk to barn will be a bit of a long one, as I’m walking slowly so I don’t fall flat on my face again. The barn looks to be a few miles away it going to some time to get there. I head off to the barn in the distance, hoping something will help me out. As I start walking towards the big red barn that's in the distance, I hear whats sounds like hoof steps coming up from behind me. I turn around to see if something is fallowing me. With a quick turn of my head, I look back and see nothing there, i start turning my head back toward the big red barn, still in the distance only to see, a poofy pink thing in my way, that smells a bit like cotton candy. That's all i can see in fount of me, then I hear a vary loud gasp from the poofy pink thing, then it was gone. Shakeing my head thinking was was just see thing, all the while looking for the pink thing block my path to the red barn, but not seeing a thing. "Whatever that was I'm not really sure I want to know what it could be." I think to myself I continue on ward to the red barn, getting a bit closer with every step that I take. During that time of walking i continue to think to myself, "Where am I, Who am I, what in the hay was that pink thing that smelled like cotton candy. I just i can find something the can help me out. "Why did i just say what in the hay." Still not sure whats going on, I continue to the barn. I start seeing more details of the red barn. It looks like its been recently repainted. I think to myself "so there is something here, that might help me with my problem." Other things I see are baskets laying on the ground all around the barn, some have apples in them, and the ones that don't have anything in them are stacked up in nice little rows up against the side of the barn. "Who ever did this takes good care to make them look good."
2. Knowing2.Knowing After about 30 minutes of walking toward the red barn, I finally make to the red barn. Now that I’m at the barn I can see that there are a few more buildings here. One of is the main house I’m guessing, where the things of the world live, eat, and to sleep. There is also a silo hiding behind the barn, look newly painted too. I walk to the open door of the barn to see if anything is inside. I cautiously come up the open door the barn and peer inside. The only thing to be seen inside of the barn is more baskets stacked to the ceiling. “Why would they need so many baskets, there can’t be that many apple trees here can there?” saying this out loud. With nothing more to look at inside the barn, I turn around and look at the main house that was about a two minute walk from the barn. I start walking to the house, noticing that it was will made, and that it would withstand the biggest of storms. Though the color of the house has faded over the years, that being seen with the rest of the buildings here. That the house would be that last to get repainted. The house is kind of a strange color, none that I have seen before. Of course I don’t really know anything right now. As I get closer to the faded house, I start here some voices. I can’t really make out what they are saying though the walls. At the very moment a golden orange creature comes busting out the door. The loudness of the slamming door and the yelling of voices inside the house took me back. I tried looking for a place to hide, but seeing nothing in the immediate vicinity to duck behind. I just stand there in awe of this moment not know what to do or what to say to this golden orange creature. “Howdy there stranger” said the golden orange creature “U…U…U…Um Hi” I say back with a slight stutter in my voice “Sorry about the ruckus, we were have a family meeting, and it got a might out of hand” as the golden orange creature looks at me up and down with her big green eyes. “U…u…u…um that’s ok” looking down at the ground. “Names Applejack, and who might you be. I’ve never seen y’all round these parts I reckon” walking up to me slowly, not sure of what I might do. “So her, will I think it’s a her. Her name is Applejack” I think to myself “I…I…Im not sure what my name is, what I am or what you are for a matter of fact” I say back to her, still looking down at the ground. “I…I just woke up in that field” as I point to the barren field with one of my hoofs. “Ah I see sugercube, I might be able to help you out for a spell. Will first of do you even know what gender you are? As you tell from my voice, I’m Female or a girl if you like. “So I was right she is a she, what with the sugercube thing to” I think to myself and a bit puzzled “N…n…not really I was guessing when I was on the field.” “Will sugercube you are male, I also see the wings on your side” as she pushes a nose into them “That I know, but what does that make me?” get a little more relaxed, and felling her nose one of my wings . “That makes ya a Pegasus, the darkest Pegasus I have ever seen though” removing her nose from my wing. “A PEGASUS, what in the hay is a Pegasus!!” I say almost my yelling at the top my lungs “I don’t really know how to answer that for y’all, as you can see I’m not a Pegasus, I’m what otherponys call an earth pony.” As she turns her side to me showing it to, there are no wings on her sides. As I look at her a notices the mark on her flake. “W…w…what is that mark on your side there, I have one two but it’s different from yours.” Turning to my side to show Applejack the mark. “Ay that would be y’all cutie mark, everypony has one, other than some young fillies.” Applejack said with a weird look on her face. “Y’all cutie mark represents y’all special talent.” Looking at my cutie mark “It kind of looks like mist or some sort of cloud, I might be a weather pony.” Returning to face me. “Mist you say, that sound vary vary familiar, judging by my black coat…” trailing off, as my head starts to hurt, bring up a hoof to my forehead rubbing it slightly “Y’ all ok there sugercube.” Looking back at me with a concern face. As the pain fades away from my head “I’m ok,I remember something about myself, after hearing the word mist, then looking at my coat I think I know my name its ether Mistdark, or Darkmist…” as I trail off again with another headache. I shake my head letting the pain fade from my mind. “After saying the name Darkmist, I got another headache, know I sure that my name is Darkmist.” Doing a little jump for joy “One more question I like to ask you Applejack, what kind of creature am I, and what kind are you. I’m guessing that being a Pegasus is what my race is, but not my species is?” As I look at Applejack with questioning eyes. “Y’all species is a pony, the same me, and ya y’all race is the Pegasus, the wings are y’all side prove that. Tell the truth I don’t know much about Pegasus’s, but I just might know a pony that can help you out that bit of information.” Said Applejack looking up to the sky, but not seeing what she was looking for. “Ah I see so that’s why you’re always say pony this and pony that.” I say while looking up with her, but not seeing anything, also I was not sure what I was looking for in the first place. “Oh horseapples where’s rainbow when you need her, will she might be town.” Returning her attention to me. “Will I suggest that we head into town to see if we can’t find her there? It’s just down the road from here.” Pointing down the dirt road I saw earlier with a hoof. “Sounds like plan to me.” Fallowing her hoof to the road “will I would like to get more information about this Pegasus deal. We head off into the road leading to this pony town in a land that I don’t know anything about. I fallow Applejack to the road, and we start our little journey to the town, trying to find this Rainbow pony that will be able to teach me about Pegasus’s, and what they do. Walking side by side with Applejack the first pony I meet here feeling good about myself, having found out about my name. My name is Darkmist, I’m a pony and I’m a Pegasus.
3. Meeting The Others Meeting the Others As Applejack and I walk down the road to town, I’m still thinking about the pass half-hour and the conversion I had with Applejack. Finally getting some answers about my life, will just finding out my name is the first step to getting to know who I am. For once I I’m thinking that given time I will know everything about myself. “Here’s hoping” I say “Y’all say something” asked Applejack “Uh what, oh sorry just talking to myself” looking at the ground “Not a problem sugercube” said Applejack We continue walking to town, not really talking much, just Applejack asking some random questions about what I would know about myself, most of the answers came up as a no, as I can’t answer most of the questions she asked of me. Some were like “do you know what your talent is?” or “how did you end up in my field?” and there was a few others too “If y’all what to get to town sometime day, I think we should pick up the pace, if we keep this pace we won’t make it to town before night fall ” Says Applejack looking down the road. “I’m not sure if I can speed up, but I can try.” Saying back to Applejack “It’s easy, all you have to really do is to move y’all legs a bit faster” said Applejack still looking down the road, then up to the sky looking at the sun. I start moving my legs faster than what I’m used to, I start moving faster than the walk, thinking to myself I’m doing it, I move my legs even faster also seeing Applejack right by my side keeping the same pace as me. “Looks like you got it” says Applejack I could not respond to her, it was taking all my concentration to keep all four legs moving in time, so I don’t fall on my face. Looking up from the ground I spy Applejack up a head on a slight hill, trotting up to her on the hill. Only to see the most magnificent sight sprawling out before my eyes, slightly to the right of the hill was a small town. A lot farther in the distance and a bit to the left of the small town was a castle, will I think it was a castle can’t really be sure what it was, as it looked very far off in the distance, it looks like it would take a few days to get there. Even more left of the distant castle there is a forest, a deep dark forest, I shiver just looking at the dark place. I hope I never have to go into there I think to myself. To the right of the small town were some massive mountains looming over the little valley that the town is nestled in. Other than that the rest of the view is of plains of grass going all around the little town . I have so many question that I want to ask Applejack, but I hold off on asking them thinking everything I like to know will come in due time. “Will how do y’all like the view” says Applejack “It’s a wonderful view I could look at it all day.” I say back “The town over there is called Ponyville, the castle y’all see in the distance is not really a castle, but more of a really big town and it’s called canterlot. The forest you see to my left is called the Everfree forest, don’t y’all go in there, and it’s a bit dangerous. Other than that we are heading for Ponyville, so let’s get a move on shall we?” Here all that in one go had my head spinning , ok so we are going to the little town called Ponyville this should be fun, I think to myself as I continue to fallow Applejack down the hill at a nice trot. After other thirty minutes at a trot I found myself at the entrance of Ponyville, Only to see many ponies around town going about their business. “Wow there’s a lot more than I thought” as I point out the obvious “That there are” replied Applejack We start walking to the middle of town, and it looks like we are heading for a giant tree at one end of the center of town. Only when we get about hundred or so hoofs away, I start seeing that it’s not just a tree, but also a home I think. I and Applejack reach the door of the tree. She knocks on the door with her hoof. After a few minutes wait, the door opens up all on its own with a slight glow of a purplish pink about it. I watch Applejack enter the house; I follow her from behind trying to look like I’m not there. “Why is it so dang dark in here, Hey Twi is are you here” says Applejack into the darkness At the moment the door behind us closes all by its self again, and then the lights flick on. “SURPRISE” I jump back falling on my rump, at the loudness of the many voices at once, closing my eyes trying to make it all go away thinking that this is all a bad dream and I will wake up in my bed at home, ya like that would happen, I don’t even know where my home is at. I think to myself trying to hide from the voice. “Now, now there you silly colt, it’s a party for you. You’re new here and I like throwing party’s for new ponies to our town.” Nodding to the sound of a very hyper voice coming from above my head, I slowly look up to see who is talking to me only to see pink hair in my face, and noticing the smell of cotton candy. “Come now it’s your party mister shy.” I slowly get back to my hoofs, still having my eyes closed, once I’m up on all four I open my eyes and only seeing six ponies standing in fount of me, All of them with their eyes on me hoping I would say something, but have no voice to say anything. I look at each of them, there’s Applejack of course with her golden orange coat, and flowing blond hair. Another has a purple coat and dark blue hair with a pink strip in the middle of it. There’s a pink pony to, with some crazy looking hair, it looks like it’s never been brushed, I also guessing that this one was the one that smells like cotton candy. Moving over to the three in the room, there’s one with a coat of white, with the best looking purple hair that I’ve seen. One pony looks as shy and timid, as I look right now, though this pony’s coat is like a golden yellow, with hair of pink. The last pony in the room is the strangest of them all, this one has the coat of sky, naming saying that it light blue, but that’s not the strangest part of this pony, the color of its hair looks like a newly formed rainbow. “Hey dark let me introduce y’all to my friends, the one to throw the little party for y’all is Pinkie Pie” pointing to the bright pink pony. “This one here is Twilight Sparkles, this is her place” pointing to the purple pony with the pink strip in her hair. “This shy one over here is Fluttershy” trying to pull the pony to her hoofs. “This one here is Rarity” pointing to the white coated pony with the great hair. “Last and but not least this here is Rainbow Dash” putting a fount leg around the blue pony with the multi-color hair. All at once they yell “WELCOME”
4. Two years Later4. Two Years Later As the year passed before me, I started loving this little town of Ponyville, in the past two years I seen the city of Canterlot, gone to Cloudsdale with Rainbow Dash, and Fluttershy, that of course after days of flight training with them both. I even got to meet Princess Celestia, and her sister Princess Luna. I meet them by luck, after Twilight had to go to Canterlot on some business, she asked if I would like to help her out, of course I said yes. After our visit with the Princess’s I continued to help Twilight for the rest of the time we were there. At the end of our stay we went back to see Princess Celestia to ask for help. It didn’t turn out so will. Princess Celestia could not help me in any way, shape, or form. That had me pretty down on the ride back to Ponyville. After returning to town, I went straight to my room when we got in to Ponyville. Will I still don’t really have a permanent home for myself. I’ve been living in a spare bedroom at Twilights library, the room was small, but I will make do until I can get a place of my own. I’m grateful for all that Twilight and the rest of the ponies in town for helping me out, and making me feel welcome here. Other year has passed while I live in Ponyville. Today was the same day two years ago that I woke up in the middle of field with no memory of who or what I was. Pinkie Pie has taken it upon herself to throw me a birthday party on this day, all because I still can’t remember what day, month, or year I was born. So having a birthday party on the day I woke up here seems to be the logical choice for a birthday party. “Thanks Pinkie for the party”, I say enjoy the games and music. “Will you’re most welcome”, says Pinkie, all the while bouncing up and down “I going to say hi the everyone else, I’ll catch you later Pinkie”, as I walk away from the over hyper pink pony “oki doki loki”, as she bounces away I walk to Fluttershy, thanking her for coming, she always been a bit weary of me, but I’m ok with that, I was just like her when I first meet the group two years ago. After about three weeks of not really talking to otherponys, Rainbow Dash was the one to help me out. She told me that I need to open up and start making friends. I took her advice to heart and did just that. I’m friends with almost everypony in town. After I finished talking to Fluttershy, I went over and talked with the rest of the group, but leaving Rainbow Dash for last. After talking to the rest of the group, and playing a few games with Applejack, and dancing with Rarity, I walk to Rainbow. “Sup Rainbow”, I say walking up to her. “Sup Dark”, she replies back. “I’m itching to get out of here, and fly”, as I stop in fount of the light blue mare “I couldn’t agree with you more, lets blow this joint and fly”, as she unfolds her wings I and Rainbow slip out of the library, once out we both jump up and beat our wings as we head up to the sky. I’m not as skilled as Rainbow in flying, but I’m still working on it. I sit on a cloud watching Rainbow do tricks, spins, loops, and other aerial maneuvers. “That’s the best show yet!” I yell to Rainbow. “Thanks, I’m just that awesome”, she says back, landing on the same cloud that I’m sitting on. “Man I wish I could fly like you, your skill is unmatched”, as I pat her on the back. “One day you will”, she says as she looks out to the giant blue sky. “I really would like to see one of your sonic rainbooms one of these day”, I say to her. “Ha ha ha, the last time I did that I broke every window in Ponyville, I learned from that day never to a rainboom near any town, Ha ha ha”, said Rainbow, now looking at me. “Ha ha ha, that must have cost a pretty bit to repair all the windows”, I say looking back at her. “Ha you have no idea, I had to work for two months straight and overtime to make the money to get all the windows fixed in town”, she says getting ready for another routine. This time I join her in the endless expanse of the sky, enjoying the wind though our manes and the wind under our wings. I enjoy the time I spend with Rainbow Dash, the flying, the stunts; I always have a great time with her. After a few more hours of flying with her, my wings are at their limits, unlike Rainbow who could fly all day and night without losing a beat. I bid farewell to Rainbow, as I glide slowly to the ground. “I’m going to fell this in the morning”, I say to myself, folding my wings to my side, and trotting to the library to get some rest. I near the library only to get buzzed by something out of nowhere. I look around and I see Rainbow hovering just over the ground laughing. “Ha ha ha ha, sorry I could resist the urge to buzz you”, she said landing lightly on the ground. “I swear, you and pinkie are the prank masters”, I say looking at her with glaring eyes. “That’s very true, no here can beat us in pranks”, she says as she walks to the door of the library and pushes it open. I follow her into the library, the party there seems to have end. The otherponys must have gone home some time ago. I look around the room see that Spike is still cleaning up the mess from the party. “Hey Spike”, I say as I enter the main room. “Oh hi Darkmist, how everything going” he responds. “Oh I’m a bit tired from flying all day, so I’m going to bed for the night”, I say back, heading for my small room off to the side of the main room. “Ok, see you in the morning” he says as I start to my bedroom door. “Hey wait up” I hear from the open door of the library I swing my head around, looking for the source of the voice, completely forgetting that Rainbow was here to. “What’s up Dash, need something”, Spike says “No it’s nothing, never mind”, responds Rainbow Dash, back out of the door way and closing the door behind her. I shrug my shoulders, then head to my room, I open the door to my room finding it the same way I left it this morning. There’s a bed in the corner with the sheets bundle up on top of it. A small dresser up against the left wall of the room, a nightstand next to the bed with nothing but a light on it, a mirror above the dresser. “Home Sweet Home” I say under my breath, as I jump in to bed I walk to the bed and lay down feeling beat, and ready to sleep for a good eight hours or longer. The only problem is that I can’t fall asleep, with my mind racing like the Wonderbolts on the track in Cloudsdale. For the past two years I have not really learned much about myself. I know my name, what I am, and what my special talent is. My special talent is working with the mist of the world, helping to make it, and to place the mist in the world. After I found that out, I started working with Rainbow helping out as much as possible with the weather. Other than though three things I still don’t know anything about myself . I start drifting off the sleep after about hour of laying on the bed thinking. My Last thought before I sleep over took me was, I love this town, and everypony in it, with that thought I was out getting the much need rest I needed.
5. Love Embrace Loves Embrace The next few days have been just the same, all blending together. Get out of bed, shower, eat, and then head off to work. Doing the same thing over, and over will get stale. But I still don’t have a place of my own so that’s the goal I’m working towards. Another thing that’s been on my mind is that I’m very lonely, not having a special some pony in my life. Well I’m not sure if I had one in my previous life before I woke up in that field at Sweet Apple Acres. I hate the thought of being lonely though, and I’ve been here for the past two years now, and I’ve met many different ponies. Though there is only one pony in this town that I might have something in common with, and I like her a lot to, from the very first day I saw her. I just have to figure out how to tell this pony how I feel about her, and I hope that she returns the same feelings back. After rolling out of bed from a restless night of thinking of how to tell that one pony how I feel. I stretch out my whole body, hearing it pop in many different place throughout. I walk to the little bastion that’s sitting on my dresser and splashed water onto my face to give myself a jolt to wake up. I push open my room’s door which leads to the main room of Twilight’s library. “Morning everypony.” I say as I enter the room “It’s not morning.” a voice replies back I took a quick peek out the window, only to see that the sun is high in the sky, shaking my head. “Wow I must have been out of it.” I say back to the voice. “You were tossing and turning all night Dark.” says the voice. I look around for the voice and I spy Spike up on a ladder putting books away. “Oh hey Spike, was I really tossing and turning all night?” I asked the little dragon. “Yeah you were, you kept me up half the night.” Spike said glaring back at me. “Sorry about that Spike, I just got a lot on my mind this morning.” I said back while still looking around the room “You wouldn’t happen to know where Twilight is at would you Spike?” “The last time I saw her, she was with Rainbow, Rainbow needed her help, something to do with the weather.” Spike responded while he continued to books away on the shelves of the library “Alright, thanks spike I’ll catch you later I have a few things that need to be done.” I say walking out the front door of the library I walked into the midday sun, and looked up at the clouds while stretching out my wings letting the sun hit them with their warming rays. “This is the day I tell my feelings to the pony that I fell in love with.” I say to myself as I continued to look up at the sky, as I walked through town looking for any hint of where Rainbow or Twilight might be. I scanned the sky of any signs of them, then I saw a light blue streak I almost missed it because it was hitting the light blue of the sky. I saw the streak heading toward Applejack’s farm. With a light hoof I started running in the direction of Sweet Apple Acres, only to stop ten feet later. “What the hey am I doing, I can just fly there.” After a short hop, skip, and a jump I was up in the air flying my way to the farm. After about a ten minute flight, I was circling the farm looking for any sign of Twilight or Rainbow anywhere. After circling twice I saw the purple mare standing near Applejack’s front door. I folded my wings and did a nose dive straight to the purple pony standing there. About thirty feet from the ground I spread my wings to slow my speed down so I can land. I landed a few feet away from Twilight. “Hi Twilight.” I said while folding my wings up. “Oh hi Darkmist, what brings you here today?” she asked while still looking at the door, waiting for something. “I was looking for Rainbow, have you seen her anywhere by chance?” I ask back. “Yeah I have I was helping her not to long ago, but right now I’m not sure.” She said still eyeing the door. “Can you at least tell me which way she went?” I asked looking at her with questioning eyes. “I think she flew off in that direction.” She answered as she pointed to town with a hoof. “Thanks Twilight.” I said while jumping up into the air and unfolding my wings. “No problem.” Twilight said from the ground. I headed back to town while thinking of the one place I could find Rainbow at this time of day. Then it hit me like a big bushel of apples. I turned my body and wings to the one building that would most likely hold Rainbow. Sugar Cube Corner would be the place I could find her at I thought. I then landed right on the front steps of the pastry shop. I pushed open the door of the shop; I spotted the sky blue mare standing at the counter talking to Mr. Cake I also saw Mrs. Cake running around in the kitchen behind Mr. Cake. I waited for them to finish talking. “Sup Rainbow.” I say to her once she finished her talk with Mr. Cake. “Hey Dark, what’s up?” She ask back with a questioning look on her face. “Nothing much, just wanted to know if you’re up for flying?” I say glancing out the window, and seeing the sun is nearing the horizon. “I’m always up for a good flying session” she said flapping her wings with glee. “Sweet I’ll wait for you outside.” I said, blushing a bit. “Cool I’ll be out there in a few.” she said before returning to Mr. Cake. I headed outside to wait for Rainbow finish up her business with the Cakes. After about a ten minute wait, the door to the shop open and out walks the light blue mare. Just by looking at her make my heart starts to hammer. “You seem to be done with your business.” I said while turning a shade of crimson. “Yep all done, so let’s get to the flying shall we.” She said back. “Yes lets” I said back, nodding my head. As I say that Rainbow is already in the air waiting for me. Not to leave her there hanging I join her in the openness of the sky. I took a quick peek at the sun, and saw that it had just started go below the horizon. We spent the next few hours flying and enjoying ourselves. Every so often Rainbow would try a new trick out, and I would sit and watch her perform it from a nearby cloud. The sun had set about thirty minutes ago. “Hey Rainbow let’s take a brake shall we!” I yell to her as I land on a cloud. “Yeah sounds good, my old wings kind of need a bit of rest.” She responds back, as she lands on the same cloud as me. “What I nice night.” I said while looking up at the stars. “That it is, it’s very lovely” She says back. “Yes you are” I said before I could stop myself, and then I started blushing. “W… w… what!” Said rainbow with all of her attention now turned on me. “I… I… I have a confession to make to you.” I said looking down to the ground with crimson radiating from my cheeks. “Oh and what that might be? Wait don’t tell me, I want to tell you something first.” She said with a little glee in her voice. My ears perked up and I looked at her only to look away, rather quickly. “Really, what might that be if I may ask?” I said trying not to look at her directly, only giving her small glances. “Well that’s the thing, I’m not exactly sure how to say this but here I go, I like you a lot, well like is too soft of a word it’s more like I love you. There I said it.” Finished Rainbow, slightly turning away from with crimson masking her cyan face. After I heard that I nearly fell off the cloud that we were sitting on, but I just barely managed to catch myself before I did. “W… what, really it makes me really happy to hear that, and I was going to say the same thing to you. I’ve had a crush on you since I first met you at Twilights library, and I love you too.” I responded while looking into her eyes as I said the three magical words. “Oh thank Celestia, here I thought you wouldn’t return the feeling, aw look at me getting all sappy.” Said Rainbow. “You can be sappy every so often.” I said back. “That is SOO true.” She responded. After her last word left her mouth, I pulled her close in a comforting hug. She also held me tight, then she looked up at me and I look back at her. Her muzzle was very close to mine, she then whispered “I love you.” She then kissed me passionately. I returned the kiss, and then we split apart for a few seconds allowing me to say “I love you too.” She then kissed me again, and then laid her head on my chest listening to my fluttering heartbeat. We spent the rest of night in each other’s warm embrace.
