Chapters Chapter 1 - The Jungle Colt
“Dear Lightning Crash~
Right now Mommy’s on an expedition to Madara, an unexpected island off the coast of North Equestria... 10,000 km away from Ponyville~” Daring Do written on her letter, but in reality... she's currently being cornered by a huge manticore. “This is really...” The manticore licks its lips, and growled at Daring Do. “A Wild kingdom. <3”
“GYAAAAHHH!!!!”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dear Papa...
“Uhm... I... I made this in Home Ec...” Lightning handed over a homemade cake for the colt she admired.
I’m ready to fall in love!.
“It’s for you!” Lightning was feeling cheerful that not only she got the courage to talk to her long time crush, but to make him as cake as well.. unfortunately~
“Sorry. I’m already full...” The young colt said, making Lightning’s effort all in vein. “Besides, I have more than my share of female attraction! See ya.” with that said the colt left laughing along with his posse of mares. Leaving Lightning slightly tearing up on the spot.
“Lightning!!” A voice called from behind her. Lightning looks behind her as she sniffles up, only to see her friend Ivory coming at her.
“See? Not a chance...” Ivory said, then holds up something... “Your bag... Lightning~”
“Waaahh!! But whyyyyyy~!” Lightning suddenly grabs Ivory’s shoulders then started shouting at her face.
“Calm down...” Ivory said, not even fazed by Lightning’s sudden rant.
“So what if I’ve never actually had a conversation with him? But... but...” She started to tear up again... looking down on the pavement... “I just wanted him to love me back! And... and...”
Lightning suddenly went to her dream world and started imagining Her and that colt, eating together...
“I wanted to do that...”
Then she imagines her being carried by that colt...
“and this...”
Then she imagines them very, VERY close to each other.
“...and...”
Then suddenly Ivory appears on her thoughts holding a great vacuum cleaner. “Okay, gotta clean this up...”
“I baked a cake and everything!!” Lightning whined further... but Ivory tries to comfort her.
“There, there.” Ivory pats her friend's shoulder and brushes her mane, “It’s okay... Bring your cake home... and give it to your mother Daring... Doesn’t she write novels about Inventions?”
“Adventures!” Lightning corrected, but still crying.
“Ohh...” Ivory simply nods, realizing her mistake...
“She travels around Equestria and writes about her adventures... Now he’s somewhere called Madara Island...” She said, while wiping her tears... “And he always brings me weird souvenirs.” Lightning added.
“Oh my gosh, that is so sweet! What a great parent!” Ivory suddenly held Lightning’s hooves, impressed about Lightning’s parents actions towards her friend. “Who cares about getting dumped when you have your mommy’s love?!”
“Yeah...” Lightning then peps up, and looked at the sky regaining her self esteem. “You’re right! Yeah! I’ll forget all the bad stuff and throw mama a huge welcome home party!” Lightning shakes off the past feeling and decided to go home...
“See ya!” She said to Ivory.
“Bye!” Ivory waved back. as the two of them parted ways...
“But deep down...”
“I really wanted the guy I love to eat this cake...”
“...I really wanna fall in love. I wonder... if that dream will ever come true?”
As she nears her house, her train of thoughts soon shattered by the voice of their neighbor.
“Lightning Crash!”
“The neighbor lady...” Lightning said silently.
“Just what is going on over at your house?” The lady asked...
“Huh?” Lightning looked over her yard and saw complete and utter chaos. Her house is basically turned into a jungle , complete with overgrown grass, small vegetations like mushrooms and wild herbs... with a humungous tree sticking out in the middle of the house! Plus animals lurking out and about their property... and they are all making a huge uproar...
Lightning just opened her mouth, stunned on what she was witnessing and growled a bit.
“it’s causing such a ruckus!” The lady claimed, already getting crossed about it...
Lightning maneuvers herself into the tall grass, trying to find her way towards their main door... until finally...
“MAMA!!!” She burst inside the living room, where her mother Rarity was.
“Oh! Welcome home Lightning!” Rarity greeted her daughter.
“Why is there a jungle~” Before she can continue, a familiar voice called on to her.
“I’m home! Light, Light!!!”
“Mommy!”
“I brought you a souvenir!” Daring was standing beside her, with a huge snake wrapped around her neck... Lightning was completely startled by the sight of it.
“KYAAAAAAAHHH!!!!” Lightning pushed away her parent who greatly skids on a distance as Lightning pants furiously.
“How mean!” Daring said, as her skid came to a stop.
“Mommy~ will you stop bringing all this weird stuff more for me!” Lightning yelled on her parent. “You suck!!”
“No, that wasn’t your souvenir...” Daring tried to get up, but then slips back down... Rarity helped her up instead...
Lightning stormed out of the living room and went straight to the bathroom. “Ugh! Is that all Mommy’s love is worth??” Lightning said, as she starts to take off her clothes and... “Gotta take a shower...”
Just as she was taking off her garments... she heard something clicked. Lightning looks down to see the door slowly opens as a small creature exits the bathroom panting... then suddenly slips and fell head first on the tiled room... The creature gave lightning the most saddest face it ever mustered... which caught Lightning’s heart quickly.
“Soooo cute!!!” She cried in glee then quickly took the creature into her arms. “aww! What kinda animal are you? Were you taking a bath?” She asked the small animal, then heard a slight splash of water on the bath tub.
“Is there... another one?” She asked herself... with a bright smile, and a renowned spirit... she enters a small room where the bathtub is and hugs the very first thing she fells.
“Ohhh! You’re the souvenir mommy brought me!!” Lightning grabs it, then opens her eyes... but it wasn’t what she hoped for... “Um...”
She was face to face with a colt, with a badly messed up mane covering his face and slightly dirty with a leopards pelt wrapped around his neck... sitting inside the tub... looking straight back at her...
“Light...ning...” The colt said, poking Lightning slightly on the cheek...
“Gah...” Lightning was paralyzed with fear, the fact that she was alone with a colt on the bath tub... then, all of a sudden...
“GYYAAAAAAHHHH!!! A PERVERT!!!!” She screamed...
Just then the doors of the bathroom burst open, as Daring went inside. “Lightning! This is...”
But when Daring got there... she found Lightning panting while holding a mop, already clobbered the colt, knocking him out colt...
“Too late, huh?” Daring said, to herself... too late indeed...
(After a while)
“W-WHAT IS THIS PERVERT DOING HERE?!?” Lightning yelled over the dining room... as the colt eats some noodles.
“He’s not a pervert, Lightning. He has a name, you know. It’s Sky... Chaser...” Daring suddenly took out a small white board with a crude drawing and a title ‘The tale of Mommy and Shy Chaser.’ “And... I met him while I was exploring Madara Island.”
Lightning dropped her mouth wide open at the ridiculous sight of that her parent was showing her.
“Mommy was attacked by a Manticore and it was a life-or-death situation! But then!! Sky appeared from nowhere! Just like Tarzan!! Yes, the reason why I’ am still here today is because of Sky Chaser!” Daring claimed, which got Lightning even more riled up.
“Ta-ta-ta-Tarzan?!”
“You know, Lightning. The colt that goes...”Aahh-ahhhhh!!” Daring impersonates Tarzan’s yell... Then continues her story. “After an accident, he was swept away to the isle of Madara... Where he was raised by wild animals. He couldn’t speak when he met me.”
Sky starts sniffing at Lightning’s box that she took home containing the cake.
“I so happy... I come here with mommy Do...” Sky spoke as he suddenly opens the box and devours the cake in it. “Many yummy thing.”
“Ahh, my cake!!” Lightning yelled, but it was too late to stop him... he already gobbled the cake down...
“Now you can eat what ever you like!...if you live with us.” Daring proclaims.
“Whaat?” Lightning looked at her mommy with such disbelief.
“Great souvenir, huh? I thought him Equestrian!” Daring said with such great pride on what she had accomplished.
“He needs a haircut.” Rarity suggested.
“Mom’s a hair Stylist and owner of Carousel Boutique so she’ll make you look really cool!” Daring pats sky’s back, happy to see that all is going well for Sky.
Lightning sighed at this. “Ku?”
“I’m supposed to... live... with this guy?!” Lightning asked herself, while she watches Sky trashed her room... Sky soon finds Lightning’s perfume bottle then starts sniffing it... then drinks it...
“My Perfume!!!” She rushed over to take the bottle, while he was gulping it down... but then...
“PFFFFFFTT!!!!” Sky spits it straight into her face then coughs furiously.
“THIS IS CRAZY!!!” Lightning yelled, looking at her emptied perfume bottle...
“Lightning~”
Lightning turned around, just in time to see Sky inserting he’s huge head to her sweater, but not on the hole where the head should go... rather he’s shoving his head on the arms of the sweater... stretching it to the max...
“This is...Crazy!!” Lightning groveled over her ruined sweater, and the bottle of perfume... Sniffing and sobbing for two of her items were ruined...
The little animal then spots something on Lightning’s table... Her Portable Crystal Ball Messenger... Sky soon noticed it as well which her went closer to investigate.
“Lightning, what this? It dead?” Sky starts poking it, then just like on cue it vibrates signaling a message on the ball... Sky immediately went to defensive mode... “Lightning, danger!” Sky shielded her, protecting her from what he thinks it’s a threat.
“No, that’s...”
“It poison!” Sky moves forward then kicks it in full force... making a sickening crack as it broke the window and flew across the sky...
“H-hey!!!” Lightning could only watch as her crystal ball was broken to pieces... she knelt down grieving on her destroyed ball... “That Crystal ball... was... really expensive. Ha..ha..”
Sky then went to her and holds her cheek. “Lightning, it okay now. I save Lightning danger.” Then Sky licks Lightning’s lip, which caught Lightning by surprise... “This how we promise in jungle.” He continues doing so on her cheek. Lightning trembles on this behavior of Sky... until...
“EEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!”
She snapped...
“Ew, ew, ew! This is disgusting! I’d rather die than live with you!” She shouted.
Sky made the impression of a puppy dog eyes... “That look won't work!” Then he imitates an animal infant... “Acting like a baby animal won’t work either!” She yelled... that was it, she had enough.
“I can’t believe mommy! I thought since he was finally home we could relax together! But all he does is bring back all this weird stuff! I wish you’d send this guy back to wherever he came from!!”
Upon saying that, lightning heard her parents gave out a gasp... “Lightning...” Daring looked over at Sky, Lightning glanced over to him, seeing him looking down on the floor...
“I...happy...” Sky started. “I meet Lightning... but...”Lightning stood there, listening to what Sky was saying. “Lightning...not happy”
Lightning stood there, motionless as she sighs and thinks to herself. “He’s just acting sad to get attention...”
Later that day, Sky was sitting on the rooftop with his pet fox on his lap as he pet’s it gently. At that very same time, Lightning was on her room doing some homework... but she couldn’t concentrate... She growled and slumps over at her desk... “Aaah! Can’t stand it anymore!” She whines.
“Lightning...” Daring came in holding a tray with two cups of milk on it... one intended for her daughter... Lightning took a glance as her parent sits beside her and hands her the cup of milk and starts a conversation with her.
“Listen...Lighting. Do you know why Sky wanted to meet you so badly?” Daring asked her, but Lightning wasn’t sure what she meant by that... until Daring showed Lightning her photograph when she was in the 1st year of high school...
“M-my... picture...” She muttered silently.
“I dropped it in Madara Island... and Sky found it for me...” Daring said, then looks up to the ceiling, remembering her times at the Island. “He grew up among the animals, all alone. He probably didn’t know at first... but gradually he realized he was different from them.”
“All alone...” Lightning said to herself, while looking at her own photograph.
“And... when he saw your picture.. He saw somepony who was just like him.” Daring looked at Lightning. “So I think... that gave him courage. And made him feel like he wasn’t alone, after all... Thats why...” Daring remembers what Sky had told him back at Madara Island.
“Lightning. I want to see Lightning.”
Daring then gave Lightning a smile and said... “Did you know... That “Lightning” was the first word he learned?”
This made caused something in Lightning’s mind to click... She knew what she said to Sky was wrong... She quickly Bursted out of the room and heads out to look for Sky around town.
“Mommy! Where’s Sky?! I can’t find him anywhere!”
“He’s not even in the house I built for him on the roof!”
“What?” Lightning got even more worried... she was almost regretting what she has said to Sky earlier... “You don’t know your way around here... Where’d you go Sky?”
Just as Lightning was passing the Town Hall, she noticed a small crowd gathered at the Towns Bell Tower.
“Hey look! Is there a pony up there?!” an old pony said, which caught Lightning’s attention...
“What?” Lightning looks up and saw what it seems to be a leopard's skin pelt dangling on the very top of the bell tower. “T-that leopard print!” She thinks to herself, that it was Sky up there.
“It can’t be a pony, is it?!” said one mare.
“Maybe it’s an animal?” Said a colt...
“Animal?! Hurry, Somepony call an animal control!” An old mare shouts. Lightning was panicking beyond belief when she heard them calling animal control.
“Animal Control?!” She quickly grabs the old mare on her shoulders and starts ranting out. “W-wait, Lady!”
“L-lady?” The old mare was stunned on Lightning’s sudden outburst on her.
“Don’t do that! Sky is just like us...” Upon saying that, Lightning soon realizes her own words... was absolutely correct... “Just like us... thats right. He is!” Without thinking, Lightning flaps her wings, attempting to fly... but because of an accident days earlier, she couldn't, she has to wait a little longer for it to heal fully ... She then tries to climb up the clock tower instead
“H-hey! What are you doing?” A colt yelled out to Lightning, but she didn’t listened to them...
“I’m sorry...” She said to herself. “I’m sorry Sky! You’re a pony just like me! But I was so mean to you... You’re not alone anymore!” She climbs up all the way to the middle of the tower. “You’re...part of my family now! Like Mama and mommy...” Lightning soon reaches the top, expecting Sky sitting there alone... “Sky...let’s... Let’s all live together!”
But unfortunately... all she found was a monkey on a leopard skin scarf... Lightning was speechless, her eyes narrowed and stared at the monkey for some time... “No way...” She muttered, until the monkey screeched and attacks her, clawing Lightning’s face violently.
“SKREEEE!!!”
“Help me!!!” Lightning yelled... loosening her grip as she plummets down to the ground, of what it seems to be like in slow motion...
“It was a monkey?” She said to her self. The ponies below gasped in shock, seeing Lightning falling helplessly to her death. “Uh oh... Am I being punished? Because I... was so mean?” Lightning Closed her eyes awaiting her inevitable death...
All of a sudden, from out of nowhere... a colt leaps into action, jumping at incredible distance reaching over to Lightning then grabs her just in time... He clings to a rope which was tied from the clock tower and to another building near it...
Lightning was dazed, but looks up to see who catched her. “H-huh?” But before she can take a good look, the rope snapped... “Ohh...” Then started to swing down.
“NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!”
The colt help on to Lightning tightly until it was about time to let go and landed with a thud, still holding on to lightning never letting her go. Lightning looked up to see a young colt, about her age holding her up on his arms. “Lightning.” The colt said, looking straight back at her.
“W-who’s... that?” Lightning said to herself, blushing deep red on what she was seeing before her.
“Lightning danger, I save...” The colt spoke.
“Hold on...” Lightning thoughts to herself... “that line sounds familiar... huh?” Lightning suddenly had a hunch... “Don’t tell me...”
“We did it Honey! Makeover success!!” Daring said to Rarity who was still levitating a pair of scissors near her.
“Just call me the miracle stylist!” Rarity winks at Daring as she looks on to Lightning and Sky.
“Jungle promise...” The colt then licks Lightning’s lip... which suddenly made Lightning realize that...
“IT’S THAT THE WILD BOY?!”
Wednesday, early morning. Lightning woke up by the sound of chirping birds as she slowly got up of bed then gave out a huge yawn.
“So nice today!” She looks out the window then took a little watering can… “Morning little flower, la la la~” As she was sprinkling the plant, she noticed a silhouette of something coming closer to the window.
“Huh?”
CRRRRAAAAAASSSHH!!!!
“What the…”
At the least she expected it… her day had just been shattered by Sky who came crashing through her window and toppled on top of her.
“Lightning! Mama call to food!” Sky said, while nuzzling Lightning… without thinking, Lightning suddenly bucked Sky towards the ceiling.
“Arrrrghh!!” She screamed out, with Sky tumbling around the room. Lightning pants hard, completely forgetting that he was now living among them. “Oh… oh yeah! Him!”
Sky sits at a corner, holding up a stuffed rabbit doll.
~Starting today the jungle boy is living on our roof. His name is Sky~
“Lightning! He not alive!” Sky claims, pointing at the rabbit doll he was holding, then suddenly kept on slamming it on the floor, attempting to revive it.
“HEY!” Lightning rushed over and stops him from destroying another of her things.
~He was raised by wild animals on the deserted island of Madara. He met a novelist and came to Ponyville. And… fell in love… with a mare named Lightning.~
“What are you writing mommy!?” Lightning shouts at her parent, who was unexpectedly sitting by her desk, writing about Sky and her. She was completely twitching with irritation.
“Uhh….” Daring doesn’t know how to react, and just dashed out of the room…
Later that morning… Lightning was sitting on the dining room, eating a piece of toast, and drinking some milk, but still a bit peeved from earlier. “Hmp!” She grumbles.
“Haha! It’s an essay about Sky! But I have to embellish some details!” Daring told Lightning, but she wasn’t actually listening.
“Hey, sit still! Come on!” Rarity told Sky, who was fixing his mane to the right portion… Sky was sniffing at the air for some reason.
“Since his coat was sky blue, the novelist named him Sky! For his… sky like complexion.” Daring wrote, and then she noticed the small creature, which Lightning found on the tub yesterday looking at her essay. “Oh? You wanna be in the story too, Fennec?” Daring asked the creature, which it nods in agreement.
This caught Lightning’s attention. “Fennec?” She asked her parent.
“She’s a Madaran Fennec Fox… She and Sky are really close.” Daring claims.
(Madaran Fennec)
~A kind of fox found on Madara Island~
*Nice to meet you!*
“Fennec? I’ll call you… Feenie!” Lightning cheerfully said to the little fox, but then it looked away, with a frustrated look on its face. Obviously doesn’t like the nickname Lightning had given her.
“ugh….”
~Seems friendly but maybe not?~
“There, all done! What do you think, Lightning?” Rarity finishes her work on Sky. Lightning took a glance at Sky, then blushed a bit on what her eyes had laid on.
“S-sky… is pretty hot when his mouth shut…” She said to herself, as she was drinking her glass of milk
“Lightning!” Sky called out, she took a glance again, and then sees him mingling with the Vacuum cleaner. “What this elephant name?” Sky asked, as he turns it on making the vacuum suck his face. The vacuum fooshed all around while Sky swings it wildly. “His breath strong!”
Lightning goes over to stop his shenanigans, and probably from breaking another item. “H-hey watch~” But before she can do anything… the vacuum sucked her tail making it go upwards to the mouth of the vacuum revealing her clit… “It…”
Lightning was speechless…
“Pink…” Feenie shows a little sign board showing what she and Sky are seeing…
Lightning went to a full rage. “PERVERRRRRRTTT!!!”
Lightning stormed out of the house, furious and blushing really bad, almost making her white coat turned fully red.
“Hey! Where going, Lightning?” Sky asked.
“SCHOOL!!!” She yelled back. Sky was clueless on what she had just said on where she was going…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Later that day… at home Economics class…
“I knew I shouldn’t have agreed to live with him!” Lightning sighed, as she was wiping a plate clean “My life’s screwed up because of him.” She ponders…
“Lightning! It’s burning…” Ivory points to the oven where Lightning’s cream puffs were going hell bound.
“Ahh!” Lightning quickly took it out, in an attempt to salvage whatever she can… but when she took it out, all of them were black as charcoal… and it was sizzling.
“M-my cream puffs…” Lightning sobbed at her misfortune… she wasn’t really paying attention very much to her pastries…
“What’s up? Something wrong?” Ivory asked Lightning.
“Lots of stuff… gotta open the window…”
“You know you can always tell me. We’re best friends, right?” Ivory said, glancing at Lightning with such calm eyes.
“I-Ivory…Ahhh, what an angel! Lightning heads to the window and opens it for the smoke to come out… “Thanks, but I’m fine… School is so peaceful!”
The window rattled a bit from opening up, but then… Sky appears with a bunch of birds on his side. Lightning widens her eyes in complete and utter surprise. “HUH!?”
The birds fluttered their wings and burst himself inside the classroom, literally blowing Lightning on a heavy gust of wind, then the birds started to pick up her mane and tail, like they were greeting her… kind of.
“Ahh! Ahh!!!” Lightning was again lost for words, while the birds chirped right on top of her.
“Lightning!!” Sky called out…
Lightning can vaguely hear some chatter behind her… obviously about what just transcribed in the room, the other mares started to talk about her.
“S-S-S-S-S-SKYYYY!?” Lightning managed to spit out.
“Came to get Lightning.” Sky jumped in the room, with the birds landing onto him. “Met them outside. We friends now.”
The chattering on the other mares continues on. “Hey… he’s kinda hot!” Lightning heard them say, along with a couple of gasp and even more chatter.
Ivory looked at Lightning with the most ever so curious face. “Friend of yours, lightning?”
“NEVER SEEN HIM BEFORE IN MY LIFE!!” Lightning Shot back.
As Sky was talking to the birds, a brave mare went closer to Sky, holding something on her hoof… “Uhm… Would you like some?” She gave Sky a cupcake fresh out of the oven.
“Y-you give this to me?” Sky was surprised, never in his entire life he had received anything from anyone before. The mare smiled over him, blushing as she went back to her friends. Sky was still amazed by these ponies generosity…
~Im Madara Island. Only the strong could get food with their bare hooves, or claws, or hands… It was a harsh world.~
“We just met but you give food…” Sky said, who started to tremble with excitement. “Ponies are so GREAT!!! Yahoo!!!” Sky suddenly shouted praising the single cupcake like it was a gift straight from Celestia herself.
Sky suddenly put the cupcake on the middle of the floor then started dancing around it… Which made the other mares went completely “what” over him…
~He calls it the Jungle Happy Dance~
Lightning was literally gone red beyond her comprehension… “Y-YOU IDIOT!!” Lightning quickly snags Sky then bolted out of the room as fast as she can.
“BYE BYEEE!!!” Sky yelled while being dragged like a rag doll.
“Uhmm Lightning, your bag…” Ivory tried to remind Lightning, but she was already out of sight…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Why did you come here, Sky?!” She asked the sniffing young colt. “I’m sooo embarrassed!” Lightning noticed that Sky wasn’t quite paying attention. “Hey are you listen~” She saw Sky was sniffing at her little sack that she was carrying along with her. “~ing?”
“Lightning smell like food…” Sky points to her sack.
“My failed cream puffs…” She said to herself. “W-who cares? This is important!” She swings it out of Sky’s reach, but then she hits something, making a loud “SMACK!”
“Smack?” Lightning looks back, to see that she accidentally hits her best friend.
“Ivory?!”
“Forgot your bag, Lightning…” She said to her, now has a slight bruise on her face.
“T-thanks! I just s-suddenly felt like walking outside!” Lightning reasoned, but Ivory didn’t mind it though.
“Anyway…” Ivory looks back at Sky, who was clutching over a moving cart.
“Hey, move it!!” The stallion yelled at Sky, who was right on top of his cart.
“Fast creature!” Sky claimed, clinging over the thing.
“You DO know him, don’t you?” Ivory stated the obvious.
“N-No way! He’s a complete stranger! Let’s go home…” Lightning said, and then nudges Ivory to leave, but then… she felt a bump on her shoulder…
“Hey, watch where you’re going, idiot!!” A Punk yelled at Lightning. “Ahh, I think you broke my bones! You better pay my medical bills!” He continued to bully Lightning.
“S-sorry…” Lightning said in fright, nearly tearing up.
Just as they were about to make a move, Sky grabs the scarf of one of the Punks neck then raised it up…
“WOWWWW!!! You have leopard too?!” Sky said to the Punk, thinking that he was one of his animal friends… “You friend!” Sky then tickles the punk on his neck, which made him tremble in both in a confused expression and in an irritated feeling.
“Get off me!!” The punk yelled at him. Lightning Grabbed him out of the way to her side.
“I-I’m sorry! He doesn’t really understand people…” Lightning said to the punks.
“tch.” The Punk was seriously pissed… all of a sudden he snatched the bag off of Lightning’s hoof. “I’ll take this as compensation!”
“Idiot!!” Said the other punk, leaving Lightning speechless.
“Lightning gave him thing? To friend?” Sky asked her.
“NO! He took it from me!!” Lightning said letting out a sigh, Sky’s ear perks upon hearing that. “it was just those ruined cream puffs…oh well…”
“Then…I get back for Lightning.” Sky mumbled.
“Huh?”
Sky then looks up and leaps from wall to wall. Lightning can only look on as he climbs and jumps to houses and walls nimble as cat, until he catches up with the Punks. He stops right in the path of the running Punks.
“Look out!!” Lightning yelled, as the Punks are headed right towards him. But Sky stood his ground, waiting for the Punks to get close. “Sky!!! It was just burnt cream puffs in the bag. Forget about it! Sky!!!”
“I get back…for Lightning.” And just like on cue, his birds flew right past him towards the two Punks.
Causing them to panic and loses their balance, causing them to trip and skid down the pavement. Sky was able to get the back, before they fell preventing the little sack being flattened. The birds quickly flew away, leaving the two punks filled with peck bruises…
“Sky!” Lightning calls out as she went after him… but when she got near him, he was already holding the sack.
“Lightning! I got back!” Sky claims, showing it to her. Sky gave the sack back to its rightful owner.
“But… it’s just burnt cream puffs… see?” Lightning opened the sack, and sure enough… it was just as what had Lightning said.
“They Lightning’s so they important…” Sky took one and quickly puts it on his mouth and eats it… “Yummy~” Lightning doesn’t know what to do… she never had anyone do that for her ever…
“He’s really… totally reckless…” Lightning said to herself.
“Your friend’s a really nice guy…” Ivory said out of the blue, startling Lightning.
“Ahh!!” Lightning uttered a cry caused by her startle, then looks at Sky.
“But… maybe I can find a few little things to like about him.” She said to herself, giving Sky another one of her burnt cream puffs.
~Yeah, his name is Sky...~
That evening…
“Oh, Lightning… Sky’s transferring to your school!” Daring suddenly said out of the blue.
“Wear this?” Sky said, wearing Lightning’s School uniform…
“Okay! I’m still totally freaking out!!” Lightning screamed, as her night hasn’t ended just yet… in a nut shell that is…
Chapter 3 - Knight in School Uniform
Chapter 3 - Knight in School Uniform
“Lightning! Sky’s transferring to your school!” Daring proclaims…
“This jungle boy…is going to school with me?!”
~I’m really worried.~
“Oh. Yes, yes.” The Principal said after hearing Lightning’s proposal of Sky’s transferring… “Don’t worry, don’t worry. I’ve heard a lot about Sky from Daring Do…”
(P.S The principal of the school, is the Mayor herself)
Lightning was stunned, that the fact that the principal knew her mommy Daring Do.
“What? You know my mommy?!”
*memory*
“Way to go!” Daring said.
“You too!” The Principal responded.
*memory*
“We’ve been friends since grade school. We’d always be falling down… ahh the good ol’ times…”
“So that’s why she’s letting Sky transfer…” Lightning murmured.
“So… where’s Sky, anyway? I’d like to meet him.” The Principal asked her.
“Oh.. he’s waiting out in the hall way…” But when she goes out and checks for him, he was out of sight. “Hmm? Sky?”
Sky was eating some bread and banana’s… out of all the supplies in the cafeteria next to the principal’s office…
“ Lightning! Lots of food at school! I take for free!” the cafeteria was a complete mess… with food all over the place around Sky.
Lightning literally skids face first on the floor out of surprise, not expecting him to do these much damage to the place.
“I told you to wait in the hall way!” She shouts at him, really frustrated that Sky didn’t listen to her.
Sky holds up a banana to her. “You want?”
“No!” Lightning shot back.
“Oh, what a wild student. Ha. Ha.ha…” The Principal said, as he peek’s out of his office then grabs Lightning’s shoulder, twitching and holding up her temper as long as she can. “It’ll be your job to watch him… Lightning Crash.” She said with such fury in her eyes.
“Eeekk!! There’s absolutely NO WAY!!” Lightning quickly took off his leopard cape and buttons his uniform, then rushed to her class room.
At Class 2-1 Other ponies are all chattering with one another, until a teacher arrived to calm things down.
“Everypony, please be quiet.” The teacher told her students which they did, then sits down on their respective chairs to hear what their teacher has to say. “Today we have a new transfer student!” The teacher announced.
“Really?” Said one of the students.
“Who is it?” Asked another.
“So worried…” Lightning who was sitting among her classmates, ponders of what might happen once Sky enters their room, as their teacher continues her introduction to the entire class.
“He’s from Madara Island… and not used to Ponyville yet, so be kind!”
“Oh a foreigner?! Cool!” Proclaimed one student.
“I heard he’s staying with Lightning Crash’s.” said another student, causing her other classmates to look over to her, with teasing expressions drawn to their faces.
“Light’s so lucky.”
“I’m jealous!”
The others started to gossip about Lightning… She ket on saying it’s not like that, but no one was listening to her… everyone was thinking she was lucky to have a boy living with her.
Then the teacher finally called out to him. “Sky Chaser!”
Once he entered, all the mares in the room started to chatter to one another, and blushed over him… seeing that he’s actually one good looking young colt.
“No…no way!” a mare said, brushing bright red.
“He’s hot!” said another, then all of them squealed at the same time.
“Whew… he looks fine. His buttons are fastened..” While all their eyes are fixated on Sky’s charming face, they failed to see wha lies beyond his shirt. Lightning saw it first. “H-huh?”
Then all of the class noticed the ridiculously large belly section of Sky. “Huh?!” they all said in unison, as it jiggled while he moved.
“Nice to…” Sky then opens up his shirt, revealing a bunch of fruits and bread popped out of his school uniform. “Meet you!!!”
The fruits whooshed and bounced on the floor, some even landed on top of the girl’s heads…
“Banana’s?” all of the class said yet again in unison.
“NOOOO!!!!” Lightning Quickly grabbed him and puts him on his chair way back of the room.
“Haha! That’s how they say hi on Madara Island, right, Sky?” Lightning faked a laugh, looking at her class mates. “He’s really not used to Ponyville yet!”
All of the entire class body gawk at them both with a blank expression on their faces,… then all break into laughter.
“Yeah, I guess if he was raised overseas!” Said Air Breeze, one of the female students… “B-but” Then she looks over to Sky, about to ask him a question herself. “Why are you staying with Lightning, Sky? How do you know her?”
“Know her?”
“Does he understand?” one of the female stodents asked Air. “She’s asking where’d you two met!”
Then suddenly Lightning went to panic mode and tried to stop him from answering. “Oh, crap! Wait!”
Sky then remembers where they first met. “I meet Lightning…” Then he spots Lightning coming to him, and then wraps his hoof around her. “In the tub!”
Upon saying that, all the mares (Except for one who was blushing with excitement) dropped their mouths wide open in surprise while turning red all over, thinking something malicious.
“You guys are like THAT!?” one of the mares blurted out.
“No!” Lightning yelled.
“Guess that’s what happens when you live overseas!” Another mare said over to Lightning.
“No, wait… Let me explaaaaaaiin!!!”
At that very same moment, the bell rings signaling for their gym period…
“Lightning, let’s go change for gym.” Ivory said, while handing Lightning’s bag to her.
“Ivory~” Lightning said, with a rather depressed tone… As she was walking to the hallways, she overheard some girls gossiping.
“I heard Lightning made the first move!” Said one mare.
“Really?!” Said another mare in disbelief.
Lightning kept on walking, not really paying attention, but still gets to her…
“This sucks…” She grumbled while heading to the locker rooms.
“Everypony’s gossiping huh?” Ivory said, then went inside first…
Just as Lightning was about to enter as well… Sky bumps to her before he could even enter himself.
Lightning turns around, and made the most fearful face she could muster. “STOPPPP!!!” Why are you following me? This is the mare’s locker room! You can’t come in!”
“I change here then?” Sky then takes off his clothes outside of the mare’s locker room, as two other mares sees what he’s doing.
“Look at them!”
“I knew it!”
Lightning was already trembling at this point. “I…I…” Lightning was about to blow a fuse… and then~ “CAN’T STAND THIS ANYMORE!!!” She yelled that made the roof fly a bit to the air, then slams back down the building. She then grabs Sky, opens the window and sets him outside.
“Listen, Sky. Wait here until I’m done changing. Do not MOVE!” Lightning ordered.
“Why?” Sky asked dumbfoundedly at this.
“Just promise me!!” Lightning insisted, not really telling him the full details of why he should stay on that spot. Sky just looked at her, and just complies with her.
“Okay. Jungle Promise.” Sky then leans and licks her cheek.
Lightning then slams the window shut right to the face of Sky. “Stop that, too!” She yelled then went back to the locker rooms… Sky was left alone outside...
Minutes later, a dark figure lurks along the side of the school, heading towards the mare’s locker room windows…
(Mare’s locker room)
“So… he’s really not your coltfriend?” Ivory starts to ask.
“Of course not. He’s completely crazy.” Lightning shot back to Ivory, who was still peeved from earlier.
“But isn’t that what makes him sexy?” Ivory said, with an alluring voice. “What will I do next? Oh no, we’re going to do THAT?!” She said, feeling all giddy about that imagination. “It’s so thrilling. Ohh, it makes my heart pound~”
Lightning was a bit surprised of Ivory’s thoughts… “O-Okay…” Then starts to think to herself… “Ivory’s weird…”
(But I want a normal relationship. Not with somepony who’s so unpredictable)
One of the mare’s was about to take off her clothes when she suddenly heard a rustling sound just outside the window, as she turns around she spots a shadow looking through it.
“KYYAAAAHH!! A PEEPING TOM!” All the girls started to scream.
Lightning and Ivory heard the screams and quickly heads to the mare who made the noise.
“W-what?!” Lightning asked the mare again.
“Somepony’s out there! Look, look!”
Lightning looked over and sees a pony running off the distance… she can’t make sure who it was, but she knew it was a colt.
“Get the teacher! Hurry!” One of the mares tells her other classmates.
“Uh oh…” Lightning mutters then leaps out of the window. “I need to get him outta here!” She tells herself, thinking it was Sky who tries to peek at them.
“Hey! Wait up!” Lightning pursues the colt, which she thinks it was Sky. She soon catches up with the colt and grabs his tail. “I said, wait up! SKY!!” She then tugs it back to see his face, only to discover…
It wasn’t him…
Lightning was left stupefied. Before she could say something, the colt quickly covers her mouth, preventing her to scream.
At that moment, across the field… P.E students were doing their soccer practice, one colt misses the ball which he was suppose to block after it was kicked by another colt… the ball was now heading directly at Sky’s face!
“Hey, watch out!! Move it!!” The colts warned Sky, but he didn’t notice it in time until…
WHACK!!
It hits his face dead on… the ball fell down and bounced away from his face.
“Lightning promise…hurts…” Sky groaned, while feeling the full brunt of that hit.
Unknown to him, Lightning was about to get molested.
“Mmmph!” Lightning tries to squirm out, but her assailant was too tight on his grip.
“I just wanna little peek.” The stallion said, while about to take off her clothes.
Lightning’s mind started to race beyond her control. “No… He’s… a real pervert?!” She said, getting despirate to break free off of this guy. “Oh no… someone… help me…” At one last attempt of escape, she did a very low kind of escape tactic… She bit the hands of the stallion enough for her to scream~
“Heeelllpppp!!!”
Sky heard that scream, despite the noise that was making by the students and players on both the field and classrooms from the school.
“Lightning…” Sky looked at the far side of the school to see Lightning was being touched by an unknown Stallion…
“Hey… Can I have it back?” One of the players of soccer asked, but noticed Sky was a bit… spaced out. “Whats with him?” The colt asked himself… before he can even fully retreave the ball, Sky prepares to kick it. “H-hey wait…”
Sky was on full ready position to kick the ball… “Huh?!” The colt had little time to react as Sky kicks the ball on full velocity.
SMACK!!!
The sound of the kick was heard through out the field as the players gawk in amazement on how powerful that kick was.
The ball zoomed across the field towards where Lightning was, and hits the wall next to the perverted stallion making a loud “Thwomp!”… the wall cracked and made a small crater out of the soccer ball.
The stallion lets Lightning go, terrified on the fact that it could have hit him and died on the spot…
“Wha… what happened?” Lightning tottered, as Sky held her on his arms…
“Lightning.” Sky said, worried about her well being.
“Sky…” She said, lookin g at him who had just saved her from a horrible experience.
“This way, teacher! The pervert’s over here!” One of the mares lead a teacher over to the pervert who was foaming through his mouth on sheer terror.
“This guy… has been lurking around the neighborhood lately. Let’s call the guards!” The teacher said.
Lightning on the other hand, fell to her knees, collapsed on what just transcribed just now…
“Ha… ha ha ha…” was the only thing Lightning can ever muster to say at the moment.
“Lightning~” Ivory looked at her feet, and saw that she was injured. “You’re hurt… You need to go to the nurse.” Ivory suggested, then Sky suddenly whooshed her off of the ground and carried her.
“I take her!” Sky insisted.
“Ooooohhhhhh!” All of the other mares suddenly admired Sky and blushed thinking that they were truly both lovers.
“I’m such an idiot. I can’t believe I thought Sky was the perv ert.” Lightning said to her self…
“Sorry, Lightning…”
“Hm?”
“I… broke promise to Lightning…” Sky sighed “Because I moved…”
“What promise?” Lightning wonders what he could have meant by that… then a memory suddenly made it self known to Lightning.
*Do not move! Promise me!*
“I don’t understand school… I sorry.” Sky gave out one more sigh, as he was depressed about breaking Lightning’s promise.
“N-no! You don’t have to apologize. Cuz, you didn’t do anything wrong!” Lightning claimed, trying to make Sky feel a bit better about himself… sort of.
“I’m the one whou should apologize.” Lightning tightens her hold on Sky. “I’m…sorry too… forget about that promise…” Lightning said, as she looks at Sky.
“Really?!” Sky said in delight, then sets her down for a complete hug. “Yaaaaaay!!!” Sky squeezes Lightning, in a good way… but…
“Eeek!! Y-your chocking me!” Lightning mutters, as Sky hugged her tighter.
The other mares on the other hand, are feeling very giddy over the two of them. “Wasn’t Sky really cool just now?”
“He was!” They all started to talk about Sky and his little heroic act on Lightning earlier.
Ivory on the other hand, stood there watching… having a distinct thought lingering on her mind…
“I want Sky to be my coltfriend…” She said to herself…

Chapter 4 - Pinkie's Pre-Party Planning Extravaganza
PInkie Pie had been dealing with numerous customers at Sugercube Corner for the last hour and a half. She knew that Daring Do had come home just a couple days ago, but she had been so busy that even with the new equipment the Cake's had procured weren't fast enough to keep up with the demand, especially with school underway and the numerous hungry students looking for something a bit more substantial than what the school offered. Ducking back inside after handing out some cupcakes she grabs her notepad, hidden underneath a bag of flour to review what she had learned about Sky.
"Hrmmmm....young colt....intelligent but lacking in education...likes food in plentiful amounts.....likes jungle settings.....and a loincloth...Rarity had been complaining about that since he showed up...well at least shes got him in something more appropriate, don't need another incident like what happened at the train station..."
She held the pen in her mouth as she tried to think of something else before sparing a quick glance at a nearby mirror...the Cake's never questioned why she put it there but then again this is Pinkie Pie. Taking a look around and knowing the coast was clear she taps the mirror in a strange pattern that only she could reproduce and then smiles waiting for the image to change. When it did a more pony like version of herself was looking back.
"Oh hey Pinkie Pie! I was just thinking that another of me needed some party advice out there in the wide-wide universe of fiction! What could i help you with...wait..unless *Gasp!* you are planning a weird specialized party! Oh that sounds like so much fun!"
The anthro Pinkie Pie could only nod more and more with a huge smile on her face.. "Yes I am, I was wondering if you had any special ideas for a jungle themed party.....all the ideas I have Twilight says I can't use since Fluttershy can't train that many animals on short notice. Where am I going ot get a jungle on short notice anyway?"
The pony Pinkie holds a hoof to her muzzle before exclaiming "That's it! You don't NEED a jungle....you just need my Party cannon! Jungle Deluxe edition." She adds with a wink to the readers.
Anthro Pinkie grins extra big at that and smiles. "Sounds great...could you express that to me?" *Ding-Dong!* The buzzer went, only used after-hours or for deliveries during the day. "I'll get it!" She sings out and heads over to the door as her pony self calls out in a similar manner. "Already diiid! And give her a banana nut muffin as a thank-you!"
Anthro Pinkie opens the door to reveal a pony version of Derpy...fluttering somewhat as she gets many stares while rubbing the back of her head with a hoof. "Uhm... I think I went to the wrong address...Are you?...A. P. P.?"
Anthro Pinkie Pie grins wide. "Yupperoonie! You have a package for me?"
Derpy nods and quickly brings out a large box covered in wrapping paper and a huge bow. The tag said 'To Twilight from a dear friend.' Pinkie pie shakes her head. "No...that's a package for YOUR Twilight... not for me."
Derpy puts the package back and this time brings out the correct one, with a grin she hoofs it over as Anthro Pinkie Pie hands her a muffin. "And here you go! One outstanding muffin for one amazing delivery!"
Derpy smiles and flies off eating her muffin before she seemingly disappears. The locals all just shaking their heads and going on with their day muttering 'Pinkie is being Pinkie'. Bringing the package inside she quickly tears it open revealing the special Deluxe Jungle party cannon, there was only a simple instruction of keeping it watered and nothing else. As Anthro Pinkie Pie pondered why that is the bell rang again revealing Anthro Derpy fluttering softly at the door. "Here's your mail Pinkie!"
With that done she turns and flies off...high and slightly to the right but in the general direction she intended to go. Many of the residents scratched their heads seeing not one but TWO versions of their lovable mail-mare and eventually giving up this time.
Pinkie Pie grinned and went off to water the cannon. "Oh I am going to ENJOY using this!"
The following day shows Lightning, Sky and Ivory heading to art class near the gymnasium as a certain pink mare scopes out the place to determine where best to setup and use her cannon. Just because she is normally seen wheeling in her cannon sporadically and firing it without any seeming aim didn't mean she didn't occasionally take the time to plan out where to aim ahead of time, and sometimes certain settings needed the utmost aim for the best effect. about five minutes into her looking around behind the bleachers was she interrupted by a sound of somepony talking in somewhat broken but understandable Equish.
"What funny pink pony doing here?" Asks Sky as he watches Pinkie doing...well science hasn't quite figured out what it is shes doing but they're working on it (Donate to the 'Figure out what pinkie Pie does' fund today!)
Pinkie looks back at Sky, not even fazed by his presence or how he got there seemingly without making a sound as she briefly explains. "I am looking for the appropriate entry vector for a variety of jungle themed party implements that are fired out of my cannon at a acceptable but lower than lethal velocity while ensuring maximum coverage of the space provided and desired for the sole use of partying. What are you doing?"
Sky cocks his head and eats a banana while pondering what she just said and then just shrugs somewhat giving up, he didn't understand all of the big funny words the pink pony had just said. "I eat banana!"
The sound of a mare sounding quite irritated yet worried could be heard now, "Sky! Get back here! Your supposed to be in class!"
With that Sky shot up and hurried back, albeit in a non-traditional manner, but then again the underside of a set of bleachers was quite challenging to traverse normally. Pinkie got back to work without a second glance though, the bleachers were no good, the angle was all wrong and wouldn't disperse everything appropriately. without bunching up things where they wouldn't be seen or interacted with. Her search would take a good 5 minutes before finding the optimal firing location and then she left, now she just needed some maracas, a trampoline and a pool filled with blue-colored tropical gelatin for her introduction to the party seen that evening. She also had distributed the invitations, every gym locker, every bookbag and every unguarded book within the bags had numerous invitations crammed within Pinkie-style. She went home feeling quite happy and ready for her big entrance, her favorite party-store should have the right outfit too, it just needed a slight alteration to be perfect, so a quick trip to Rarity's was all she needed! With that the pink party-mare of Ponyville quickly got to it, it was going to be one wild party, and she always made sure they were memorable, her scrapbook made sure of it!
