I want to thank LionDash for giving me the courage, compassion, love and friendship in order for me to become the writer I am now.

I made this story as a thank you to him in order to provide a sense of fun and friendships and also out of a sense of kindness for him. Though I am still always worrying bout my writing and even skills, this is my way to share my compassion and ideas on the page for you all to read and even for him to enjoy in the future,

Thank you LionDash

Prologue

I think before I tell you ponies my story, I think it’s best you get to know who I am. My name is Lion Dash a young and passionate game master and board game fanatic and aspiring to be the fastest Pegasus in Equestria. Ever since I was a young filly, I knew who I was gonna be and even what my cutie mark was gonna be before I even got it. This was shown by the fact that I still have the artwork design that it looked like the day I got it. My mother Aqua Heart and my father Northern Blaze are by far considered the best parents ever! (Or at least in my eyes.) They cared for me even when I was younger and with my *ahem* interests that made me different than other ponies around me or even at school. That usually made me a big target for those to pick on me and even bully me. Most times, I just wanted to smack them straight in their smug faces.

But they always would stand for me and even telling me that friendship was more important than fighting. Ever since the mane 6 saved Equestria the past 5 times, I grew to admire them… almost thinking them to be heroes that Equestria needed. But I am getting ahead of myself here and way off track. But to these days currently I have been more worried about if life has a meaning. Though I have my friends that I made and even my lifelong ones like Mystic Flame. But everypony just calls him Sigh. (Why, was a mystery that even to this day, I never figured out) He was the pony that helped me a lot and even guided me when we were fillies always making a ruckus in town and getting in trouble, there was also Bermudan Dawn. but he prefers bdm…the reason for the M is a complete and utter mystery.

Then there's Storm Chaser and Misty Winds 2 Pegasus that I only met by shear coincidence. Storm was more harsh on me and always trying to be better than anypony else. This sometimes was unbearable to notice, but when times were tough he was always there for his friends. Misty Winds was always laughing and kind hearted and the most BEAUTIFUL singer in all of Equestria. (In my eyes, but I know that there were ponies better.) She always had a heart of love and every time I got injured during something reckless with the others. Misty was there to help us and laugh the pain away. But she could be sometimes a little to caring and sometimes got other ponies angry saying that she wasn't their mother. But her love and compassion was something that I was glad to see. I knew it was a honor and a grateful thing that I got to know her. But those 2 were almost inseparable and always were butting heads trying to prove to the other that they were better at something than the other, no matter what it was.

Even if it was something as simple as trying to eat the most food to flying the fastest. The only friend that nopony there talks about is a Pegasus by the name of Crimson, a young and aspiring writer who wanted to make stories about each hero of Equestria. But he always seemed to always get himself in trouble and we knew that if problems ever came, it was usually 100% the bolt. But I knew them to be my most caring friends and even those who helped me become the stallion I am now. I have also begun the journey to find the true meaning in my life that wasn't just behind books or even games. I always knew my destiny was games and even creating them, but it felt almost like I wasn’t pushing myself beyond to make a name for myself. I always wanted to do something else beyond than what my cutie mark had me do. (If that even makes sense.)

Our days prior were always funny and even the amounts of trouble we caused gave us the nickname of the trouble 6 (Like the mane 6 but more on the trouble side of things.) Sometimes it was simple things like pulling pranks and others where the others would drag me into their misfits, and I got caught as the leader. That leads me to HOW I met them all in the first place… well long story short. During my 15 birthday I was at school, and I was picked on by some older kids and then out came Mystic to the rescue. Though I didn’t meet the others till WAY later, if it wasn’t for Mystic. I would still be worried about it and never standing up for myself.

I always wanted one of 2 things in life for me, to be special and to find somepony that I would love truly. Though this story is about me… it’s also my journey to find that “special pony” who makes me find love in my life worth fighting for. But over time I never found anypony that really made me find true love in a sense where I had a purpose that made me smile.

But this is my story about my love I found and even the journey I made and even the ups and downs, failures and successes and lies and distrust and betrayal.
