Jolt Awdry

The air was crisp and dry as the old raggedy front door of the bar swung open, as soon as a space wide enough for someone to walk through opened up a light purple Pegasus with dark purple hair and glowing green eyes emerged. He looked over to a small red leathered bar stool and then fixed his large bulky glasses. He quietly stepped over to the red leathered bar stool and then sat upon it, it let out an ear shattering screech as its rusty bars turned over so the Pegasus could face the bar.

He silently cleared his throat and then tapped the base of his bar stool in order to get the attention of the sleeping bar tender. As soon as the Pegasus’s hoof tapped the bar stool the sleeping light yellow earth pony shot up and gasped for air as if he had awoken from a nightmare, he then rubbed his light green eyes and stroked his dark red mustache as He then wobbled over to the front of the bar and yawned loudly “oh so sorry son, I was just um…” he then fell into an awkward silence as if time was catching up to him. The light purple Pegasus nodded “it’s okay, I’m going to need some apple cider” the young Pegasus told the tired bar tender.

The red mustached colt slowly nodded “okay, so you new in Ponyville?” the bartender asked the thirsty Pegasus,as he then motioned over to the old wooden cabinets and picked up a large glass jug. The dark haired Pegasus then nodded “you got it, and I must say this towns hospitality is just amazing. Right when I get to town some pink mare starts singing a song, and even takes the time out of her day to throw a party. You ponies make me feel like some sort of super star” he told the slow moving bar tender who was pouring him the sweet and shiny gold apple cider.

The bartender then handed the glorious apple cider to the young Pegasus and once again yawned “well sounds like you met Pinkie Pie, I guess I should welcome you as well I’m Flam” Flam greeted the Pegasus “and might I ask what’s your name son?” The tired Flam then asked the young Pegasus. The pony then nodded his head “I’m Jolt, Jolt Awdry” he answered Flam.

Flam slowly and raggedly nodded his head “id introduce you to my brother, but he’s off trying to invent some new flavored sider in hopes that it’ll get this bar running” Flam then told him as Jolt started to gulp down the amazingly delectable Apple cider “but any ways, what brings you to this part of Equestria son?” Flam then asked the young Pegasus as he was curious about his sudden appearance in this small little town. Jolt then pulled out a small broacher from the tuck of the feathers of his wings “this is why, wonder bolt camp” he told Flam with pure joy in his voice. The symbol of the wonder bolts was printed on the front of the broacher, as it said in big bold yellow letters ‘WOUNDER BOLT CAMP! Come on down, if you want to be a better flyer we’ll make you one, and at the end of a one month time period we will get the best flyer and make them a honorary wonder bolt’. Flam’s eyes grew wide with some surprise as he didn’t expect this young Pegasus to be one of athletic ability.

Jolt then let out a small sigh as if he could already imagine himself with the wonder bolts, wearing their light blue inform with its trademark lightning bolt made Jolt cringe a bit with pure excitement. Flam patted Jolt on his head hopefully to awake him from his fantasy world “come on boy, this is the wonder bolts the best flyers in Equestria, no offense but you don’t really look like the sporty type” Flam told Jolt as he quickly pointed out his thin feathers and scrawny legs. Jolt then just chuckled and quickly rolled his eyes “I know I know, but this is my one and only chance to join the wonder bolts and by Celestia I’m going to take it!” Jolt told the worried old colt “besides why are you so worried about a pony you just met?” Jolt then asked Flam. Flam just quietly shrugged “I don’t know kid, I just don’t like the thought of any pony being hurt. Son I used to be on top of the world with some old invention me and my brother had, and next thing I know were out of business. Now I’ve met some of the lowest scum and I’ve seen alout of ponies get hurt I just don’t want it to happen again, you get my drift?” Flam then asked the curious young Pegasus.

Jolt quickly nodded as he then hoped off the red leathered bar stool “listen Flam, just don’t worry” he assured him as he then put the wonder bolt camp broacher on the counter “tell you what, in exactly one month after camp is over I’m going to come back here and pick this up” he told him as Jolt then motioned to the front door of the bar “now you hold onto that broacher, because I’m going to be back for it” he told Flam as he slowly walked out. Flam then let out a small sigh “uh…okay then, be careful kid” he whispered silently as he then grabbed the broacher and pushed it in a secret compartment under the counter, and then sat back in his old wooden chair and closed his eyes as Flam then continued his quiet nap.

Jolt slowly walked away from the old broken down bar as he then looked up to the skies of Equestria and took in a deep breath of fresh air. He let the air fill his lungs as if to fill him with unstoppable energy, Jolt then pushed against the soft dirt floor and propelled himself up into the air. He extended his wings and started to soar off. He looked across the endless distance of the land in search of the flying and majestic city of Cloudsdale. He smiled slightly as he then realized that he could leave his old worthless life behind and starts a new life, one of fame and greatness the one he knew he finally had the chance of having.
