Every love couple have a backstory, right? None of which are just plain safe sailing.

This is the story of how a stranger in the land of Equestria meets the mare which will wrap around his heart.

This is the story how Shine Yellowsoul met and fell in love with the mare of his life, the grey coated mailmare with a blonde mane, namely Derpy Hooves.

This story was not originally split into chapters, therefore, sorry if the end of a chapter ruins the flow of the story. I was getting so many dislike I began suspecting people were discouraged from the one huge-flank chapter.

If I get any further dislikes, I will know that it possibly can't be from long the chapter(s?)

I described the antagonists poorly because, well, I couldn't come up with a smooth way of describing them without changing the actuall storytelling focus to them. But I took the time to create them in the pony creator, here are the codes.
