chapter 3

The six headed to the arcade and it was better than any of them dreamed of, there was even a three team gaming competition so StarGazer, Button and Rumble entered to win it. The competition was split into three rounds: first was a MINECRAFT PvP death match; second was a vr archery game; finally it was a racing game. they decided that Button would go first, Rumble second and StarGazer last. Button came second on the PvP, Rumble got first on the archery and now it was up to StarGazer to win the final game if he got first all three of them would get trophies .

The race began and another colt took the lead but StarGazer was right behind him eventually he got hit by a blue rocket causing the colt to respawn and StarGazer taking the lead. It was a close race but StarGazer came out victorious and won the tournament the three colts checked their flanks only to be disappointed to see there was no cutie mark. the CMC told them to cheer up as they'll eventually earn their cutie marks. It was getting dark out so they returned to their hotel rooms to have dinner and go to bed.

*In the morning*
Button and StarGazer rose from their beds and StarGazer turned off his night light before getting out of bed to get breakfast. Button's Mom said good morning to them as Button got toast and StarGazer, after they were done they went over to Rumble's room to get him then they went out to find new ways to earn their cutie marks. first they tried ice skating then they tried ziplining but nothing seemed to be working. by the afternoon they were tired and hot so they went to the ice-cream truck and bought some ice-cream. While they were eating Tender Taps came over and started mocking them. but since StarGazer was so hot and tried he wasn't having it. He turned into his shadow form and chased after Tender Taps. But Tender had a trick up is sleeve.

Author's Note

StarGazer is afraid of the dark because I'm afraid of it IRL and need to have a night light every night. :applecry:

chapter 4

The CMC where at a nearby café when they saw Tender Taps being chased by some shadow creature with arms sprouting out it's back.
"We have to help Tender taps!" Apple bloom spoke the others nodded and began to chase after the two.
after 12 minutes of running StarGazer cornered Tender Taps in an alleyway.
"I'll teach you to bother me!" he spoke in a ghostly voice suddenly the CMC appeared behind him and defended Tender Taps and StarGazer fell to the ground as Tender pulled out a syringe and stole some shadow essence form him. But StarGazer was too heartbroken to care his shadow form dropped and he teleported to his room. Tender Taps just stood there with an evil grin.
"you knew it was StarGazer!" shouted Apple Bloom "and you tricked us into hurting him."
"of course i did, he is my enemy" he spoke " and now it seems you need to chose a side, mine or his" Sweetie Belle hit him with a blast of magic before she and the rest of the CMC rushed off.
"They'll see. They all will see!" he shouted before injecting himself with the shadow essence.

*Meanwhile at the hotel*

StarGazer was crying his heart out underneath his bed and he had locked the door so nopony could see him. His friends left him alone knowing he needed some space. then the CMC arrived rumble helped each of them to the balcony and then they entered the room

chapter 1

A few months ago A crossbreed named StarGazer and his friends defeated the demon of destruction TIO
*3 months later*
"I can't believe we're going to Seashell Shores for summer break!" StarGazer spoke in excitement Rumble and ButtonMash nodded in agreement . They were packing in Button's house for their holiday.
"Maybe we can even earn our cutie marks!" yelled Rumble feverishly. The three colts were simply overjoyed about the thought of earning their cutie marks during there holiday. They made sure they had everything on their checklist ticked off::
. Joyboys check
.towels check
.snacks check
.sun glasses check
After they checked every thing off the list they were done packing and now ready for their well-deserved holiday.

*1 week later*

They were now going on their holiday by going on the train but before they got on a familiar voice called out to them it was a unicorn with a white coat emerald green eyes and a two toned mane of pink and purple. It was Sweetie Bell (Button introduced Sweetie to StarGazer one time) and she was with two other fillies one was a Pegasus with an orange coat with purple hair and eyes, the other was an earth pony with a pale yellow coat , amber eyes and a red mane with a red bow in it. They all had identical cutie marks so StarGazer began to draw them in his journal
"We're going to Seashell Shores is that where you three are going?" asked the orange Pegasus, the three colts nodded (StarGazer still drawing) .
"So who's the new colt?" spoke the earth pony.
"Oh, this is StarGazer the mix-breed i told you about! StarGazer this is Apple Bloom and Scootaloo." StarGazer waved hello before changing to the form he was in when he first hatched to prove he was a mix-breed. they didn't have time to talk more as the train driver yelled,
"ALL ABORD!" so the three colts and fillies boarded the train.

Fun fact: the train scene where StarGazer meets the CMC was originally not meant to be written instead he met them at Seashell Shores. :trixieshiftright: i decided to write a more wholesome scene. and if you missed the first story here is the link:

chapter 2

The six sat together on the train and started talking, the only one not talking was Stargazer who was still drawing the CMC's cutie marks. It was five minutes when Apple Bloom asked,
"What's that book ya got there StarGazer?" so StarGazer showed them his journal and how he was studying cutie marks,
"Wow that's some great drawing." spoke Scootaloo, she was admiring the drawing of the CMC's cutie marks all neatly drawn onto one page. After they were done they played eye spy for the rest of the ride.

*2 and a half hours later*

They had now made it to Seashell shores and were heading to their hotel. The rumours were that this hotel was the most legendary hotel of all time because it not only had the world's biggest arcade they also had the biggest swimming pool where you can jump of a diving board off your room's balcony. So the three colts and fillies were very excited to do, so they rushed to their rooms to unpack all their stuff and head to the balcony and the rumours were true there really was a diving board at the end of the balcony leading to the biggest swimming pool they had ever seen. Rumble was the first to jump off and he landed head first into the water then Button did a belly flop into the pool and finally it was StarGazer's turn he jumped and as he was falling he heard somepony clear their voice when Stargazer looked over it was Tender Taps. Once again painful memories filled Stargazer's mind giving him a headache. But then he reached the pool below and inhaled some water by accident. When he reached the surface of the water he coughed up some water and a little bit of blood. Before his friends asked what happened he explained that Tender Taps was here their cheerful smiles turned into frowns as the two saw Tender Taps swim over to them.
"Well hello there StarGazer." he said with a mischievous grin on his face "nice to see your still alive because if you weren't i would go to jail. Oh and i see that you've still not earned your cutie mark. You probably can't because your a mix-breed. you'll probably be a blank flank forever." StarGazer was burning with rage and ready to pounce at Tender Taps but Rumble and ButtonMash were holding him by his hips to stop him. but that didn't stop StarGazer from trying to blast him with his horn. Tender saw it as his que to leave, just then the CMC showed up at the swimming pool and asked about why StarGazer hates Tender Taps.
"We don't really know, he never told us" replied Rumble, eventually StarGazer calmed down and now was wanting to go to the arcade.

chapter 5

" What do you want?!" StarGazer spoke in a upset yet angry voice, is eye colour glowed from under the bed.
"We're here to-" Apple Bloom was cut off by two separate screams the CMC looked out the window to see a giant shadow Tender Taps holding Rumble and Button in a shadow arm, Stomping away.
“Ok look we’re sorry we didn’t realise it was you because Tender had tricked us and you never told us.” yelled Scootaloo
“Plus we’ve got bigger problems right now because Tender is giant and shadowy and has Rumble and Button” shouted Sweetie Belle. Then the CMC saw a white glow from under the bed as StarGazer rushed out from underneath the bed to reveal that he was now fully white and had pitch black eyes and arms dangling out of his back.
“I can forgive you three because you didn’t mean to hurt me” he said in an almost enchanting voice as he rushed off to stop Tender Taps

*later*
“Let us go!” yelled Button at Tender Taps
“I’m afraid I can’t do that, after all how will I-” Tender Taps was cut off by a blow to the face by StarGazer causing him to drop ButtonMash and Rumble. Sweetie Belle instantly caught them using her magic putting them gently on the ground,
“Well look how arrived” mocked Tender Taps but StarGazer didn’t care anymore of what Tender had to say the only thing he cared for in that moment was protecting his friends. But he wasn’t fighting alone as Rumble and ButtonMash were also fighting along side him. Eventually it was too much for Tender Taps and he went unconscious.

“ I'll be taking that back, thank you.” StarGazer said taking the shadow essences from Tender Taps
“Well that was rough.” spoke Rumble
“Yeah but we beat him together!” stated Button they all decide to do a hoof bump but in doing so they were lifted into the air and bright light appeared after the light faded they had cutie marks all with shooting stars and a symbol inside it. Button’s symbol was a game controller; Rumble’s symbol was a dark cloud with a thunder bolt coming out of it and StarGazer’s symbol was a heart. They jumped for joy as they had done what they wanted to do for the entire holiday. But they were also sad as it was the last day at Seashell Shores so they spent the rest of the day packing and went home with their cutie marks and their new friends.

The End for now
