Load Full StoryNext Chapter

In a small town called Saddle,there lives a 20 year old Pegasus.His name is Butterscotch Delight and he is packing up for his new job at Ponyville. As he was in the middle of packing his items his mother Vanilla Delight enters his room."So you are actually leaving,and this is no joke?"said the worried mother."Yes...mother...I am leaving,please don't make this as hard as it already is."said the boy."But why must you go?"said the mother as tears slowly started falling off her cheeks."Mother you are very old.I don't wish to be a burden on you and that is why I must leave and learn to provide for myself...but don't worry I shall visit you so often that it feels like I still live here."replied the boy.The mother had burst into tears and had embraced her son with a hug so tight that it felt as if a python had wrapped itself around its pray."I remember how I tried to make you eat your baby food,but you would just toss it down to the floor.Now seeing you grow up throughout all these years I see that you have grown up into a perfect gentle-colt.I will miss you so."said the mother."I will miss you too." said the boy planting a kiss on his mother's forehead.

After completing this sentence a train had pulled up infront of his house."My train is here,I must go now mother." said Butterscotch,and he trotted out the house and had board the train.When the train had got in motion the boy's mother came rushing out the house and said "Goodbye sweetie I will miss you." and the train kept going until it left her line of sight.The son and moon rose and descended indicating the days and nights that had gone by,but soon Butterscotch started felling a bit home sick when he saw the picture of him,his sister Cadbury,his mother and father sitting together as one big happy family,and that brought tears into the young colt's eyes.Soon another day had passed and Butterscotch was in a deep sleep when suddenly he felt the train slow down and when he woke up he found himself at Ponyville.
