Chapters Have you ever thought what it’s like to go to a place filled with multi-colored ponies with the one you love? Well it’s not that great as it sounds. It all started in my small county called Wrichwood. It was the middle of autumn and the sky was grey and the yellow and orange leaves swayed and flew in the sky. With my head down, the cold chilly wind was biting my nose and ears; I quickened my pace to jog to school. I'm Forte, the one with messy, straight black hair that goes to my shoulders, tan skin, and dark chocolate eyes. I'm a bit pudgy, and I still have that baby face. I am a pure brony to the heart, which doesn't count as “cool” at my school.
It was another start of a hard and boring Monday of homework and tests. I went to the best high school in the area, but that isn’t saying much. Most of our teachers aren’t the best and our trophy case has yet to hold a trophy. So you can probably assume that most of these kids aren't very bright. I just think school is just a place to rub all your mistakes in your face, like if you’re bad at Phys Ed it just proves you’re not athletic, or if you don't make it in the Matheletes it just shows how stupid you are compared to others. So I just suggest to stay low, unless its music, I ALWAYS win in music.
I finally reached my destination, and my ears were freezing from the cold. I stood outside the school with a couple of other students waiting outside for the building to unlock. I was standing by the steps that lead up to the doorway, probably looking like a loser being the only one by myself.
"Hey Forte, come over here.” I turned to the direction the voice was coming from. It was my friend Spirit. Spirit has blonde hair (so blonde it looks almost white) and, coming from her name, she sure has spirit. She's always happy for some reason, (she reminds me of a bit like Pinkie Pie) and not only is she really smart, like two grades ahead of us smart, but for my sake she doesn't skip a grade.
I walked up to Spirit and waved. She smiled. "So I think I found some way to raise our coolness points," said Spirit. Spirit had been trying to get into the popular group ever since we started high school because she has this huge "addiction" to a guy name Clark. Clark is the third hottest guy in our school (which I don't agree), and you can tell that Clark is really popular. I mean, Spirit would ask Clark out, except that our group just doesn't belong with there's. I'm trying to talk Spirit out of it, which was obviously not working out.
Then there’s my other friend, Chance, who has this strange voodoo magic thing and she has advice that always works. Chance has dark brown hair and brown eyes, with pale, white skin. Anyways, Chance spoke her wisdom of the day.
"Look, Spirit, the goffs and the jocks don't go well, neither does the nerds and the annoying girls, and we just don't go well with anyone".
"B-but"
"But nothing, Spirit." Chance’s voice was starting to rise up. “Look at us, Forte has a ukulele, cymbals, guitar picks, and a bunch of sheet music hanging out of her back pack.” I turned my head and noticed that Chance was right. "Look at me, I have a bunch of ‘The Unknown’ books and candles hanging out of my bag, and worse, look at you!" Spirit looked like she was on the verge of tears. I could feel the thick tension in the air. The bell rung and the doors to my school opened.
.....
As I walked into school, my backpack covered in My Little Pony key chains jangled.
"When will you ever take those off? That's a show for five year old girls," said Chance.
"First my ukulele, then my My Little Ponies. What next?" I muttered. I would never take them off. I love the show too much.
.....
My first class was English, and we really don't do much there. The teacher is really old, probably in her seventies, and she kind of went bonkers at the third week of school, so she lost every teaching ability in her mind. Our school is too cheap and lazy to fire her and find a new teacher, though apparently today she passed out paper, which is a huge improvement. I just sat there, asking Spirit what to do with the paper. Then suddenly my crush Evan threw a piece of balled up paper square in my face.
Evan is ranked the 6th hottest boy in our grade. He moved into our district in second grade. I was the first to happily greet him, and after that Evan and I were the best of friends. We used to play on the same baseball team and the same swim team in third grade. I finally quit after I got my violin, but Evan joined more sports than ever. When we entered middle school, he found new friends, and I did too. We barely talked or even saw each other. That lasted for two years. I just heard he joined the football team and was the quarter back after six months. On the last year of middle school, I finally talked to him after we were paired up in math class. He sure had changed after just two years. His face wasn't a baby pudgy face anymore, but a boxy muscular face and his muscles stood out of his shirt. HE WAS HOT. I never felt this way before about him. I fell in love.
Back to the story, I scowled a joking scowl at Evan and crumpled up my paper and threw it at Evan. That started the Great Paper War. The whole class started throwing crumpled paper balls at each other. It was madness.
....
"That was great! You might have earned us some popularity points if you know what I mean" smiled Spirit.
"Psst Evan, three o' clock," whispered Chance.
"WHAT, why is he coming over, oh no, do I looks alright, just play it cool, 'Kay"
"I honestly don't see what you see in that boy", said Chance rolling her eyes.
"Look at him, he's tall, muscular, handsome, and his jet black hair and those brown eyes, what else in a guy could you ask for?" I giggled.
Chance sighed and said, "Forte, look at you. You’re a great musician and a wonderful friend, and you’re beautiful you deserve better".
"That's exactly it, there is no one ever ever never better the Ev-".
I look up and I see that Evan was standing right by me. I blushed and I whispered "hi."
"Hey uh, Forte, that was some great fun in English." Evan said.
"Yeah" I said smiling dreamily.
Chance punched me in the arm, hard.
I snapped back to Earth, I rubbed my arms glaring at her as she mouthed your welcome. "So, why did you come over here?" I asked.
"Well, I was wondering, maybe you and your friends wanted to come to my house tommorow and maybe you can come to hang with my bros," he said a bit shyly.
My heart exploded. Could he have just said what I thought he said?
"Th-that would be gre-"
I was suddenly interrupted by Deaven (annoying guy, kind of acts a bit like Chance): "We can't have a girl at a BROS meeting!"
Evan rolled his eyes and said, "So that was a yes?" I smile and nodded. "Great, we'll walk to my house tomorrow, together." Evan walked away. I turned to my friends.
"Soooooo are you guys coming?" I asked.
"I'll be there," said Spirit, saluting to me. I chuckled at Spirit's silliness, and then turned to Chance. Chance was spaced out. I looked into her eyes and I saw something unusual. It was… oh no, could Chance possibly be having a crush?
"He was AMAZING," she said.
"Hey, eyes off my guy," I joked.
"Not that idiot, the other one."
"Ugh, you mean Deaven?"
"Yeah, Deaven."
"So you coming?”
"Definitely."
......
I had a spring in my step the next morning, I was humming a happy tune and ignored the cold wind, nothing could ruin this day.
......
The whole school day went by super slow. Finally the last bell rung and I bolted out of the class, packed all my stuff, and quickly dragged Spirit and Chance out of the door. I saw Evan leaning on the school entry way. I quickly calmed down and I greeted him and six other of his "bro" pals. Then we started walking, and I was squealing on the inside the entire time.
......
Evan’s house was beautiful. Its outside was white, but as you walk inside, everything was glass and crystal.
"It's like the white version of the Crystal Empire" I muttered. Chance nudged me, trying to stop me.
"So whatcha guys want to do?" asked Evan. We all sat on the couch. Apparently Evan's parents weren't home, so we were gonna be home alone for at least seven hours.
"Hey, I have a game" smiled Deaven.
"Cool what is it?" asked Evan.
"Let me show you." Deaven quickly ran up the stairs. I somehow knew that this game was gonna be bad, and considering it was coming from Deaven, the bad thing was probably gonna happen to me. After all I did ruin Deaven's bro time.
......
I was guessing Deaven went to Evan's room, so we all followed, we stopped at the door way and I noticed Deaven was pushing furniture into a tight circle, and then he put a night stand in the middle with two chairs next to it. I thought it was some sort of stupid scary story telling thing, until Deaven said,
"Since An-"
"Forte," I corrected.
"Forte here is new, so she can be the first to try it out."
"Try it?"
Deaven tightly grabbed my arm and pushed me into one of the chairs in the middle. I just sat down and crossed my legs, trying to stay cool.
"And Evan my man, this is your house after all, you can go ahead and try it out, too," said Deaven. Evan sat down and rolled his eyes. I watched as all the other people sat on the furniture that surrounded us. I found Spirit smiling and giggling, and then I looked at Chance who looked frightened and worried. I was confused. This was a game after all.
Suddenly, she mouthed the word "Portal." I was confused at first, but then I suddenly realized what we were doing. We were doing "the cut off," where two people go to an unknown portal and space and they may never return (I know this from thumbing through one of Chance's books). I started shaking and sweating.
"Hey, you know this is just one of Deaven's stupid spell games that never work, calm down." I turned to see Evan with a comfortable smile on his face. That relaxed me a little bit. Deaven ran out of the room and came back with twenty candles and he placed them carefully on the nightstand. He lit them all one by one.
"After I am done speaking, these two will go into a different dimension of the world." All the guys smirked. Deaven glared at them and then started chanting. "These two will be gone as the blaze of our portal number goes out..." I didn't listen to the rest. I started crying. I realized that Deaven stopped talking, and he slowly walked to the candles and blew them out
.
Pony Pony Pony Pony......
The smoke Deaven blew out darkened up the room with its musky, gross smell. I coughed, “I guess Evan was right, this didn't work at all", I mumbled, right after I said that, I felt like I was pushed out of my chair, over a cliff. My stomach dropped and the black smoke surrounding me burned my eyes while falling this fast (at least I think I was falling). I heard the deep scream of Evan's voice, I called out to him, but there was too much smoke for me to even make a peep. "Ev-cough-an", I could feel the thickness of the air fill into my lungs, instantly it started getting harder and harder to breath. I kept coughing and coughing, soon I managed to open my eyes for a couple seconds still seeing dark smoke but hearing only dead silence.
I started singing, (it's has always helped me when I'm stressed):
I have said goodbye
A thousand times before
And I'll try, I'll try
To hold on to something more
For the very first time
I don't want to be alone
For the first time I can
Say that I am home
I don't wanna say goodbye
I am home
“I AM HOME, I AM HOME” I kept sobbing and repeating these lines.
I didn't care if I could barely breathe or not, I was only thinking horrible, horrible thoughts, what if me and Evan get sent to different portals and I'll never see him again, what if I don't survive at all, what if i just never stop falling, tears started invading my eyes, from both the smoke and my imagination. Suddenly, the black smoke background turn to bright white light, it burned my eyes, what made it worse was I started having a horrible migraine, with my legs and arms suddenly aching." When will this ever end", a sniffle came on and the tears started falling rapidly from my eyes.
I blacked out
I woke up laying on my side on a dirt road somewhere that seems like a little village (guessing from all the little buildings); "Evan" I called out, hoping that he was right beside me. "Uhhhh" I groaned as I tried getting up, when I got to my two feet I fell instantly back down I tried standing up five times, soon I just decided to crawl. "Where am I", the ground crackled from the pebbles on the dirt road as the wind blew. My vision was blurred; there was some sort of fuzzy pink thing in front of me. I blinked rapidly, eventually my vision cleared. “Evan is that you”, the “Pink Thing” was now clear in my vision.
It was Pinkie Pie. And I am not kidding, I am talking about the Pink lovable pony from the My Little Pony Friendship is Magic series.
“Wh-wh-what is going on”. The Pink party pony I know so well gasped and ran off. “Ughh” I groaned in pain ignoring her weird behavior. I turned around seeing a red colored colt lying right beside where I landed. His navy blue hair was matted to his face, and he had Pegasus wings (which were bent in a way which I’m pretty sure wings aren’t suppose to be bent) and had three footballs on his flank. I chuckled to myself, I walked to the colt (which I was guessing was Evan), “Hey Evan you’re going to find this hilarious, I’m seeing everyone as a pony haha isn’t that funny”.
The pony didn’t say anything
“Evan, its funny cause no one really is a pony” I nudged his back with my hand.
The pony winced.
“EVAN, IT’S YOU RIGHT EVAN, PLEASE TELL ME ITS YOU I-”
The colt began to speak, “Yes it is, Forte, please calm down, I need you, my back hurts badly, I need you to take me to a hospital” he winced in pain as he tried to get up, “please…”
“Uh hold a sec Evan” I panicked and turned around and saw I was in front of “Sugar Cube Corner”. I chuckled again then shook my head, telling myself this wasn’t the right time. I ran to the window of the sweet shop screaming and banging the window, “Help, please help someone!!” I stopped right after I saw my reflection, I stepped back bit." I'm a-a-a-". My once use to be pudgy human face was now gone and replaced with the face of mares head but not like a regular horses head but like a pony from My Little Pony. My navy blue mane was still tied up in a pony tail from before and so was my short-cut messy tail, my light blue fur coat was neatly groomed. I touched my face; I could feel the soft fuzz against my hoof. I quickly walked backwards. "If I have a ponies body could that mean I have a-", I turned to my side and there it was, "Cutie Mark". My cutie mark had a bass clef and a treble clef with a heart in between them. I kept on looking at myself in the reflection.
I screamed.
I suddenly realized that there was a nub on my fore head, I carefully touched it, "I'm a unicorn too?!” I saw a small rock next to my hoof, I concentrated, slowly a yellow sparkly mist wrapped around the rock, lifting it up. I was slowly trying to put two and two together, "So if I'm a pony and I can do magic that means...” I stepped back.
It was Ponyville, exactly how the show made it. The cute little hay buildings stood tall. I just realized that the window I was looking into was the real Sugar Cube Corner. The sky was blue and a bit of curly clouds dotted the sky; the world looked like nothing has happened. It was kind of empty (except a couple of ponies that walked by, they didn't seem to notice), but what the hay I'm in Ponyville, I shouldn't be complaining. "OH..MY...CELESTIA!!!! THIS IS AWESOME!!!!” My mind finally snapped back into reality realizing that I had totally forgotten about Evan. I turned my head to see the spot I fell on to. The red-colored colt was laying there breathing heavy breathes, the wind made his mane curl at the end, his cloven hooves twitched.
He stopped breathing.
“ Oh no, Evan no don't die on me its just a broken wing or something, your going to be fine. Oh please help someone” I screamed. I decided to drag him out of town before any one suspects anything, I looked up to see if anyone was watching.
I concentrated at Evan and the yellow mist started forming around him. I was holding my breath, using all my power to levitate him up. My horn flickered and Evan hit the floor making him wince, apparently Evan was too heavy for me to levitate, I checked around again and then I lifted Evan on to my back.
Evan was pretty heavy for such an athletic body of his. I decided to carry him out of town into a wooded area. His dangling legs kept hitting my sides, sometimes leaving bruises. I was so out of breath, I kept thinking this is all a dream, just a silly little dream. Until I collapsed, feeling the pain, I knew this wasn't a dream, my leg's skin peeled of showing a pink skin and blood, and I looked at where we were. There was a blue clear pond, I took a gulp of water and then filled my mouth up with water. I knew Evan wasn't gonna like this, but at that time, I was desperate enough to wake him up. I spit the cold water all over his face, Evan's eyes squinted open. "Forte, where are we, this doesn’t seem like a hospital, man I had the craziest dream, you-", I interrupted Evan, this was a good time to tell him about his new " look".
"Evan, what I'm about to show you, I do not want you to freak out okay", I said. "Yeah sure whatever". He hasn't noticed I was a pony yet, probably because his eyes were still squinted, trying to adjust to the light. Evan got up falling back down, I helped him walk over to the pond and looked over. It was silence for a while. "Hey Forte", said Evan still staring at the pond, "I'm seeing a multi-colored horse where my reflection is, I must be hallucinating from this heat, heh heh, this is actually kind of funny". He hit the water, making it ripple and then turned around, suddenly his eyes got big like saucers. "I-I-I, I must have hit my head somewhere pretty bad, cause you’re a horse too" he stumbled backwards as he saw me.
"You didn't hit your head and you aren't hallucinating, this is real"
"Funny joke Forte" giggled Evan as he touched my furry hoof, suddenly realizing that this was all real.
"Surprise" I tried forcing a smile.
Evan stepped back, "Forte, I want answers and I want them now, where are we and why are we horses and how do we get back"
"Calm down, I know where we can get some help, oh and we're ponies not horses" I said. I started galloping, I never knew I could run this fast (not being athletic, this was sure making me feel awesome), I was so into it I totally forgot about Evan. Until a red blur ran over stopping me in my tracks, I blushed, realizing I was too into my running. I slowed down and started explaining about the three types of ponies, earth, Pegasus, unicorn, I told him that this wasn't a dream and Deaven's spell actually worked, I told him about Equestria.
"So you saying this place is kind of like America but with magic and ponies" asked Evan. "Yep" I smiled, we finally reached our destination, the tree library also known as Twilight's house. I knocked on the door, no one answered, I knocked again no one was there. I decided to just walk in, it was pretty dark in the room and quiet, I couldn't see anything, I walked in with Evan following and the door shut. “SURPRISE", the light flashed on and 6 ponies were standing in party hats. Streamers, food, banners, were put everywhere, AND THE MANE SIX and SPIKE TOO. Pinkie pie started singing her welcome song. I smiled and laughed and sang along with her, this was amazing, I was meeting my heroes. Pinkie blew a horn into Evan's face. Evan looked a bit frightened, "Hey it's alright these ponies are friendly", and he smiled a worried smile back.
After all the singing Evan seemed to be getting use to the ponies, "So what are you two ponies names" asked Applejack, knowing that saying our real names will seem weird so I replied, "I'm Forte Melody and this is ohhhh....Blitz Blazer", Evan stared at me curiously and I whispered "go with it". "Let’s quit the small talk and PAAARRRTAY".
“Hey what’s wrong with your wings” asked Rainbow Dash
“Broken I guess” replied Evan
“Well that’s no good, here let me help you” said Fluttershy flying outside who came back with two branches. She borrowed gauze from Twilight making a sling for Evan’s wings.
“Thanks”
“Come one lets party how many times do I have to say it” grumbled Pinkie Pie
I was gobbling down sweets after sweets, (the cupcakes taste as good as they say on the show). Evan was in the air, tossing a football back and forth with Rainbow Dash and Applejack. After I was full like crazy, I walked to Twilight, "Hello, Forte, is it"
"You’re correct, hey I was kind of wondering do you have any books on portals in this library"
"Hmmmm that's a strange topic, but I can never turn down a reader, I'll check in the back room"
Twilight soon came back with a black book with a glowing purple swirl on it, levitated next to her. " So, why do you need this book?"
"It's a LONG story"
"We've got time, why don't tell me it. I do like stories"
"Yeah sure but don't you think we should go somewhere quieter, it's a bit shocking"
"Uh....sure why not follow me"
We went up the stairs to her bedroom, she shut the door and instantly the happy party music was blocked out, the light from the room was made from the rays of the sun about to set shining through the window next to Twilight's bed (ever heard of light bulbs, I thought). I sat on the bed, Twilight next to me, I started talking and telling her about my stupid school, on how Evan invited me to his house, and how stupid Deaven did this spell and sent us here, and I told her about when we realized we were ponies, I even told her about the show in our world about them and I told her about Evan and about the feelings I have for him.
Twilight's eye started twitching. "Uh you all right Twilight" I asked.
"It worked"
"What worked???"
"THE SPELL, THE ONE I CREATED, I BROUGHT YOU HERE" said Twilight as she took my shoulders and shook me. I was so dizzy. "I'm so sorry Forte!!"
"It's alright Twi-Twilight" I said still a bit dizzy, "Why don't we go downstairs".
As we trotted down the stairs I realized the music has stopped and it was dark except a small candle that Spike was holding, I wasn't up there for that long was I. All the ponies were gathered around the window, "Forte look", I pushed through the ponies for a better view, “What is that!!!!". I looked at Twilight, whose eyes were wide, she spoke" Spike I need you to take a letter".
I was pacing back and forth (I was racking my brain to see if it was a Greek mythology creature), while Twilight was trying to write a letter with Spike in the other room (all I heard was monster, darkness, evil).
"That thing ,what was that" asked Evan, his eyes were wide," Forte, you know a lot about this place, you have to know what the heck that is".
I ignored his question and walked to the window, the thing in the sky, it was a swampy-green cloud covering the sun, lightning flashed and I swear a ponies' face popped out. I was startled and started to step back and I tripped over some pile books, wincing at the pain in my leg. Looking down to see if I cut myself, I saw the scar I got from carrying Evan, it was red and purple and it stung. Looks like it was infected, I sighed and I decided to ignore it for now, it's not important now.
"Found anything yet Twilight", as I limped over to her flipping pages of books off of her shelves. "Not yet, you se-, hey is your leg alright", I noticed that it was starting to bleed again.
"Yeah, it's alright, I just tripped while I was carrying Evan".
"Oh okay, well let's bandage that up"
"No it's fine we better-"
I was interrupted by Spike burping a green fire, a letter fell on to the floor. "Excuse me”, Blushed Spike. Twilight levitated the letter into the air and cleared her throat.
"Fluttershy ,please can you tend to Forte" said Twilight and then she began to read, "My faithful student, the same is happening in Canterlot, I have decided you need to bring back the elements of Harmony to destroy this monster and bring peace and tranquility back to Equestria. I need you to come to the castle immediately, bring your friends to. Sincerely Princess Celestia." Fluttershy was starting to carefully wrap my arm in beige colored clothes.
"Well in that case, we need to get a move on, pack your saddles everyone" said Applejack. "No time, I'll just teleport us all" said Twilight.
"So wait your going to teleport, 1-2-3-4-5-6, SIX ponies to the castle"
"Eight in this case"
I was confused, there’s only 6 elements then I realized she was talking about Evan and I. "What, no, I can't, I'll just get in the way of things" I mumbled. "Maybe you will, but I have a feeling this all has to do with your story" said Twilight.
"Alright, I guess"
"Wait what stor-” said Rainbow Dash confused.
Twilight interrupted Rainbow Dash, "okay then, girls, and boys, lets hurry and get a move on". A pink sparkle dome started forming around us and we gathered tightly, Twilight grunted, concentrating hard, and then a bright white flash surrounded us.
"Uuuggghhh", I landed on a cold floor sprawled with my arms and legs out. "How do these unicorns travel this way" I thought. I look up to see where we were, the bright light blurred my vision how do they travel like this. My vision cleared, and what I saw was magnificent, there were the equestrian flags hung on golden poles, there was a blue shiny marble floor and a long red velvet carpet on top of it. "Princess Celestia" I heard Twilight say. "My faithful student", Celestia's voice was beautiful, more beautiful then on TV. Her coat was snow white, and her hair was so shiny with the three bright colors and moved so delicately like waves."Princess, I brought two new friends that may help with-".
"With the Space and Time pony",
"Um excuse me, Princess but what in the hay is this "Space and Time pony" asked Applejack.”Oh my dear Applejack" let me explain, Princess Celestia gracefully flew of her thrown and started walking toward me; I quickly bowed down (pushed Evan down to bow too). "Why who are these two, I know all my loyal subjects but I have never seen you ponies before".
Twilight made me tell my whole story about me and Evan's adventure (I left out the part where I have feelings for Evan). I was on the part of Deaven and I decided to say that Deaven sent us here instead of Twilight (who was quietly thanking me by nodding her head). The princess was in shock, she just stood there with her eyes wide right after I finished the story. I was worried, did I say something that I shouldn't have.
"Uh Princess Celestia are you all right, can you tell us what this "Space and Time pony" is and how did he or she get here" asked Twilight. "Come here and follow me to the library", she started walking out of the big doors of the throne room, we all trotted after her, I was in awestruck when we reached outside the throne room. It was amazing everything was jeweled encrusted if not it was bordered by gold. We reached our destination, the library was amazing the book shelves us at least 15 feet high.
Princess Celestia quickly levitated down a hazelnut colored book. The book looked really old and had an hour glass on it. She quickly flipped through the pages and then suddenly stopped. "The Space and Time pony's name is Dracon and he was the Prince of Time he was very well known and was very important to everpony’s lives, soon he became overwhelmed with such great power he soon was Equestria's worst enemies yet, he would freeze time and ruin the history of Equestria which effected the future, this is the reason we don't have light bulbs" said Princess Celestia
"Light what??" asked Rainbow Dash
Celestia raised her hoof to shush Rainbow Dash, "My own mother and father could barely bring them down, I was only a little filly at the time while this happened, finally they used their powers and pushed him back into space and through a never ending portal, they have never destroyed him, but from that day on his last words were, I will come back soon, the power of six, will be gone in a fix ,then came two, I believe that when Blitz and Forte got sent through a portal, the portal opened up quick enough for the Space and Time Pony to escape (as Celestia said this Twilight's face turned grim, I knew what she was thinking), Twilight I need you and your friends to go and use the Elements of Harmony to destroy the evil pony and save Equestria". Twilight nodded.
Getting the elements were amazing (especially seeing Celestia open the safe to them), the necklace chains was pure bright shiny gold and the elements were pure diamond and the exact shape of their cutie marks, I was going to each one oohing and awwing at them. We all were sent back to Ponyville and into Twilight's library by teleportation of course. "Well it was all great to meet you guys we better get on our way, come on Forte" said Evan, he quickly dragged me out of the library and I quickly grabbed the book of portals and followed Evan out of the door.
"Hmmm, the power of six, will be gone in a fix, then came two, I wonder what that means, could we possibly be the two" I wondered out loud. Evan was carrying the book under his wing and we were trotting outside, trying to find a nice place to stay, it was night already and the moon was blocked from all the clouds, there were still flashes of lightning from here to there. "Forte, we don't have time for this kind of stuff, we have to figure out what to do to go back", we were near a fountain, with a statue of a pony rearing, in a place where I believed it was park and we started heading toward the bench. The cold wind chilled me; our only light source was the moon and the stars. As we sat down Evan was thumbing (or hoofing) through the book, I sat there awkwardly “Hey Evan" I piped up.
"Mmhhmmm"
"I kinda think we should stay and help"
“UUGGGH I CAN’T EVEN SEE IN THIS DARK”
I used my horn to light the place up a bit.
“Did you heard what I said”
“I’m sorry I didn’t”
“I said I want to stay and help”
"What!!!” Evan slammed the book shut, ”They don't need our help, they will do fine"
"Yeah but I kind of want to stay ,help or no help"
"WHAT?!"
"I said that I wanted to-"
"I heard what you said; it's just that, why? Don't you miss your friends, don't you miss your family"
"I do, but I feel like this is a place where I belong, it-"
"BELONG, is that it, you do belong at home, at our dimension"
"Evan have you ever noticed me before, none of the girls like me at all ,neither does most of the boys, the teachers hate my guts, I don't belong, you don't understand, your popular and nice and every girl likes you, and-and-and I love you, there I said it, I LOVE YOU EVAN"
Evan's eyes went wider.
"This is not what I asked for, I never asked for me to turn into some horse monster thing with wings, I never wanted to be put in danger, I never asked for being sent into a different dimension and most of all I never asked you to fall in love with me, I only invited you to my house because you were the only girl left that I haven't invited that isn't insane" his voice was angry.
But my voice got angrier.
"Only girl, ONLY GIRL, is that what you do, you just take a bunch of girls to go to your house and to hang out and probably make out, is that what you wanted, well that's not what I asked for, I loved you and now I can see that you are just another annoying guy that I doubt even cares about the feelings of the girls he invites over!!! You know no one wanted to be friends with you in second grade, if it wasn't for me introducing you to everyone and hanging out with you, y-y-you won't even have any friends without me!!!!! And THIS is how you’re going to repay me"
I slapped Evan with my hoof which caused a bleeding to his jaw line.
I ran away. I ran and ran and ran.
I wouldn’t stop, I can’t stop.
It started raining, of all the worst things that could happen.
Forte's P.O.V.
My vision blurred from my tears falling from my eyes. I was angry at Evan, but I still love him, I was wondering how that was ever even possible. The bandage on my foreleg was getting soaked on my leg; I tore it off, making my cut sting again. “Stupid rain, stupid me, stop loving him, it's over" I told myself. The rain falling was cold and I started to shiver, I sat on the wet ground.
Don't look for me in the spotlight
Don't think that I am the one
Who brightens your lives,
And endlessly strives,
To live a life in the sun
I will never shine, I'll never be beautiful,
And I will never be yours,
She made it clear, I should stay right here,
So you can be sure...
That I am no hero
I can't answer your prayers
No matter how I feel inside
I know that nobody cares
for I am no hero
It didn’t work. I sighed and got up again.
"I better find shelter before I catch a cold" I thought. I crossed a bridge and ended up at the edge of the Everfree forest. The Everfree forest was spooky as everypony said, it was dark as smoke in there and I kept hearing weird and creepy noises. The rain was getting harder and I was getting soaked by the minute that my hair started drooping over my eyes. "Great" I thought, "At least the rain is covering up my tears". "Fooorrtttee", said a soft voice.
"Who's there" I was frightened, did that voice come from the Everfree forest. "Fooooorrttteee over here", it was a small voice it sounded familiar. "Fluttershy, is that you" I asked.
"Forte what are you doing out here in the rain"
"It is you Fluttershy, where are you I can't see you" I quickly wiped away the tears so Fluttershy wouldn't notice.
"Turn to your left..... If that's..... okay with you"
I turned my head, and saw the cute warm stare of an aqua green eyed of the yellow Pegasus. It instantly warmed my heart to see her; she was under an umbrella so she was more dry then me and she was wearing a white robe with purple fur stitched on (just like the one in Hurricane Fluttershy) the sleeves. "Why don't you come in...if that's okay with you and all" she muttered
"That would be great Fluttershy" I said as I wiped my tears away with my hoof.
I followed the mare into the cottage, as I entered I instantly warmed up from the heat of the fire.
"Thanks for letting me warm up, I better be going I really don't want to intrude" I said as I started to walk away. "Wait don't leave" said Fluttershy, "At least tell me it you have a place to stay".
"Yeah you can say that, I'll find a box or something, don't worry about it"
"WHAT...sorry for screaming.... But I can't allow you to, maybe you want to stay with me for the night"
"Nah it's alright, thanks though"
"No wait, it can be a sleepover, we can do each other’s hair, tell stories, make cookies, plleeaasse stay"
"Well, alright, if you insist"
I was dressed in Fluttershy's pajamas that she let me borrow, it had a t-shirt and long pants. It was comfortably made out of some soft pink fabric. "So where is Evan" Fluttershy asked while nibbling on our just baked sugar cookies. The tears came back to my eyes; I started balling my eyes out. "Oh I'm sorry, I-I-I didn't mean to-" stuttered Fluttershy. "Oh it's alright Fluttershy, it's not your fault" I said, sniffling.
"Here, why don't you tell me what happened"
"Okay, you sure I don't want you to worry about me"
"Nah it's alright, just go ahead"
I nodded my head and I started my story.
"You see when we ran out of Twilight's library we grabbed a book about portals I got from Twilight to figure out a way to figure out how to go back home, but I didn't want to go home, I wanted to stay here. I felt like I was at home here, everyone loves each other here, while at my place everywhere is filled with hate mainly for me it seems, we started to argue and somehow when we were arguing-" I started crying all over again.
"There-there, it's alright" said Fluttershy, "Why don't you continue"
"I told him that I loved him, with all of my heart, he denied it and started yelling at me more and he-he-HE DOESN'T LOVE ME BACK HE JUST USED ME" I broke down into sobs
"Oh my"
Fluttershy wrapped her wings around me in a comforting hug. "Want to hear a secret that may help with Evan and you" she asked. "A secret, you trust me with a secret" I said.
"You’re my friend after all"
"A friend"
"Oh is that not okay, I'm sorry"
"No Fluttershy it's alright it's just, wow I just met you and now you trust me, I love this place"
"So is that a yes to my question"
"Yeah"
"Okay it was Flight Academy, and Rainbow Dash and I were in 10th grade and it was the time for the Spring Dance, and I was hoping to have a certain boy ask me out. His name was Thunder Lane, he was athletic strong and a comedian. He had a black coat and a light blue Mohawk. I was on cloud nine, though I bet you didn't know this but I was very shy as a filly. I tried whatever I could for him to notice me. Nothing worked; it either embarrassed me or hurt me. I decided to give up, I will just say yes to whoever asked me first, no one asked me. I was devastated, while Rainbow Dash got asked by 5 colts and denying them all, I was a tear stain mess, sulking in my dorm room"
"So what does this have to do with Evan and me"
"One day, Thunder Lane asked Rainbow Dash and she said yes. I was devastated and upset, and mostly mad. I was mad at Rainbow Dash, I was mad at Thunder Lane and mostly I was mad at myself. I went up to Rainbow and I did something I still regret, I was yelling at her and she was yelling at me and then I called her Rainbow Crash, after that she flew away. We gave each other the cold shoulder for a week.
“Wow is this all real” I said. “Hmm that’s weird they never shown this in a episode” I thought.
“100%”
“Wow” I muttered under my breath pushing her to continue.
I didn't go to the Spring Dance; I walked in the girl's dorm hall all by myself, until I saw Rainbow Dash. I turned around to ignore her until she called me over, she told me Thunder bailed on her and went with another girl and she needed a friend to lean on, Rainbow was so upset. I forgave her that day and we are still best friends to this day. All I'm saying is making the first move may seem the worst but its the best"
"Sure Fluttershy that will totally make Evan forgive me" I thought sarcastically.
Fluttershy offered to walk with me to find him. It was still raining outside, and the wind got stronger (I regret agreeing to this). The umbrella blew away so we were soaking wet. "This is a lost cause, let's just go back" I said. "No!!!, I know this will work we will find him" screamed Fluttershy, "Remember my story"." This was useless" I thought, until we were stopped by a voice in the wind.
Calling our names.
Forte's P.O.V.
"Yooohoooo Fluttershy and Forte what are you doing out here in this dreadful weather". I turned my head and squinted at the building the noise was coming from. I saw a white unicorn's head out the window, with her purple mane blowing around. "Rarity is that you" I called.
"Of course, now hurry come in, before this wind ruins my mane"
Fluttershy and I ran into the boutique.
We dried ourselves off and went back to the doorway, "Thanks Rarity, but we better get g-" said Fluttershy.
"Oh no no no, not in this kind of weather, why don't you stay the night" said Rarity.
"But we can't, we-"
"But Fluttershy, I insist you spend the night, it's pouring out there"
I really didn't want to go back out there so I quickly stepped in, "Yeah Fluttershy let's stay, that sounds like fun, we can find Evan tomorrow". "Finding Evan?? First of all who is Evan and second why are you finding this pony, what's so special?" Asked Rarity.
I sighed and began my story for the fourth time to explain all the answers to the curious unicorn's questions.
"Why that's, very interesting. Evan hm?? What a perculiar name, I suppose it could work" pondered Rarity, "I'm sorry but I am still a bit confused on why he left you"
"Cause he wanted to go back home but I didn't"
"Darling, I have to agree with "Evan" on this one, home is where you belong no matter what"
"But I don't belong at all, everyone hates me"
" Everyone?? And of course you belong, everyone belongs, come on there has to be someone in your place that loves you for who you are"
I thought and thought. Then I remembered my family, they must be worried sick right now. Spirit and Chance, they must be so upset.
"I do have some Rarity I really do. But it's so hateful where I come from, and it's so loving here"
"Sweetie every place has its ups and downs, Ponyville once was in danger to eternal darkness and almost being the chaos Capitol if the world"
I smiled at her joke, "but even if I do there's no point in going back if Evan hates me"
"Not if I can help it"
"Getting a "colt" is as simple as apple pie" lectured Rarity "You need style, grace and beauty". "Rarity, I don't think that's a good way to get a c-" chimed in Fluttershy but suddenly interrupted by Rarity's hoof.
"Now what you have there is good Forte, but I can make it better"
"Thanks Rarity but I don't think that will get Evan back, I messed up pretty bad"
"Nonsense, now come on let's go measure you"
The measuring tape was squeezing my flank and I was starting to get antsy for standing around this long. I kept squirming."Don't worry just a couple more minutes of measuring" said the frustrated Rarity, "Ugh I give up what is it going to take for you to stand still.
I thought.
I'll be the toast of the town, the girl on the go
I'm the type of pony everypony, everypony should know
I'll be the one to watch, the girl in the flow
I'm the type of pony everypony, everypony should know
Becoming as popular as popular can be
Making my mark, making my mark in high society
I'm the belle of the ball, the star of the show, yeah ...
Rarity joined along. Her smooth jazzy voice echoed through the boutique. Fluttershy's smooth high voice soon joined along as we sang the song from Sweet and Elite.
"Alright I'm done, I think I have the perfect dress for you in the back". Rarity trotted out of the room and came back with a comb, and a dress. The dress was black and white and the end was lined with gold fabric, the sleeves were poofy and there was a black-bow tied around the waist area. I got into the dress and Rarity opened a jewelry chest and put a music note necklace around my neck. She quickly braided my ponytail and tied a gold bow at the bottom. "Alright, now lets go find Evan, see what he says, your irresistible "
"Oh no" I thought, "This isn't gonna go well.
"Rarity, I think we should be heading back now, it's pouring" I said.
"No we must find Evan. we must, we must, WE MUST"
"Alright but at least let me cast my own bubble around me"
Rarity, Fluttershy and I were still looking for Evan and its been forever and we still haven't found one glimpse of him. Rarity is so worried about my dress that she cast a huge sparkly aqua blue bubble around me. "Ever heard of an umbrella Rarity" I thought.
I have been pestering Rarity to let me cast my own bubble, it's embarrassing to parade around in the rain with a beautiful dress on looking like crazy ponies. "PLEEEEAAASSSEEEE RARITY, I PROMISE NOT EVEN A SINGLE DUST OR HAIR WILL GET ON IT" I wailed. "Alright already, if it's that important to you darling" said the frustrated Rarity. I concentrated my hardest and slowly a light yellow shield wrapped around me (right under Rarity's huge one). It got very awkward and quiet, so I piped up, "So Rarity who was your first date?".
"You mean I have never told you the story yet, alright you sure you want to hear this story", I nodded my head
"well alright let's see, it all started when I was 15 and I just got my braces, those braces were horrible, they were big and silver I looked like a freak, food kept getting stuck in them and my hair would get caught in them"
"Wow Rarity, I thought you were always this beautiful" said Fluttershy
"Thank you Fluttershy darling, like I was saying, the Hearts and Hooves Dance was coming and I was hoping a colt would ask me out, any colt really, I was lucky enough to get one with those stupid things in my teeth, so I waited and waited, it was 2 days before the dance and still no colts, and then I said you know what that's it, I ran to my house and designed the best dress ever, oh I remember it it was all in gold with red around the edges, I stitched a dozen of shining rubies on it, at last the day has come to the dance and still no coltfriend. But I admit, I looked pretty dazzling in my new dress. Before the dance I looked at myself in the mirror and I still looked horrible with the horrible braces, I was so frustrated, I worked so hard on this dress. I used my magic and ripped them off my teeth. I quickly ran to the dance feeling more confident. When I got to the dance all eyes were on me, lets just say I got to dance with 5 guys that night. "
"Wow Rarity, uh that was a amazing story" I said
"Yes I know indeed, so that's why I know this will get you Evan in a way"
"I hope"
Evan's P.O.V.
"Stupid Forte, stupid ponies, stupid portal, stupid Deaven" I muttered. Walking through the rain was making my hair, (well since I'm a pony, I guess it’s a mane), fall over my eyes. The slap from Forte still stung. It was dark outside, I couldn't see a thing, I guess without Forte, I had no guide to show me where I was in this stupid city. Ughhhh stop thinking about her, she hates you, you messed up forget it. But why can't I forget her.
I gave up, and I sat down on the wet and muddy grass. Wait what's this coming from my eyes, are those tears. I haven't cried for a while, I'm losing my tough guy act; I quickly used my hand (sorry hoof) and wiped the tear away. Thoughts of the blue pony swam through my mind, I missed her stride and her yellow golden eyes, a tear fell from my eyes at least it was raining so no one can see. I messed up alright, I'm a jerk, she deserves better.
Wait I had the most amazing idea, I'll apologize, I'm never the one who apologizes first, but when I do, Forte will know I mean it. If not girl friend and boy friend we can at least be best friends right? I hope.
I got up, and started walking again, all the buildings in this city looks the same, tall and made of hay. I finally came to a library, (well at least guessed it was from all the books I see in the window) it was the only place that didn't look like a two story shack. Wait who's that purple unicorn in there, wait I've seen her before and this tree house thing I've been here before. I racked my brain to remember who she was. "It's something Shiner, no it's something Sparkle, uhhhh, oh yeah Twilight, that's it".
I knocked on the door, and a small, pudgy green and purple dragon holding a broom opened the door, "Library's close, come here tomorrow morning". He began to shut the door; I put my forehoof between the frame and the door. "Please just hear me out I need Midnight, it's an emergency" I said desperately, maybe she's with Forte right now (at least that's what I was praying).
"Wait, what who the heck is Midnight" asked the little dragon, "And if it's a emergency the hospitals two blocks down .
"Oh uh, I mean Twilight, I don't need a hospital, please just let me in".
"Like I said before the library is closed and Twilight is busy right now and she can't speak with you right now" and the dragon that began to close the door again.
"No I'm not Spike, who's at the door", I blew out a sigh of relief, finally.
"It's some red colt; he's claiming to know you"
"Big Macintosh?" I heard clopping of hooves coming to the door, "Oh Evan it's you, come on in, sorry about Spike"
I walked in and I realized that I was sopping wet and tracking in muddy hoof prints, "Oh um I'm sorry I can clean that up"
"Oh it's alright, Spike can you clean it please"
"Yeah yeah I'm on it" said Spike, bringing over a mop.
"Man is that little dragon grumpy" I said. "Nah he just doesn't like working late, but overall he's a pretty good friend" smiled Twilight as she was walking into a different section of the library. The room was kind of dark and the only light source was three candles, (man has any of these ponies heard of light bulbs).
"So where's Forte, I need to tell her something important, is she here"
"Wait what I thought she was with you"
"WHAT!? You mean she's not with you"
"Well yeah, after meeting Princess Celestia, I saw you two run off together"
"Well about that..., I kind of had a fight with her and.." I began telling Midn- Twilight (sorry)- about what happened, I went into the full detail, if I'm going to find Forte I'm gonna need some help.
As I was to the part on what I said to Forte right after she said she wanted to stay. Twilight's face started getting grim then she started frowning. I finished, and Twilight didn't stop staring at me with a frown, I started getting worried, did I say anything, should I flirt with her. "Uhhhhh Twi-" I was interrupted with a purple hoof smashing into my jaw (again). The pain of Forte and Twilight's slap shot through my whole body like a rocket, I tasted blood, "What-what- what was that-" I stuttered, my eyes were spinning and one of my ears were ringing, "for". I started seeing black blotches in my vision and soon they took over. I blacked out.
I woke up, and saw the purple dragon fanning me with a towel; I was laying on the wood floor and was surrounded by shelves of books. "Hey you alright" he said, "Twilight's sorry about that hit"
"No I'm not" the purple unicorn came into the room, levitating a ice pack. She dropped it on my jaw, I held it in place with my hoof and I looked out the window to see that the rain was still pouring, the sky was still dark. I saw my reflection, there was a huge bruise on my right cheek and it was swelling up and throbbing.
"Why did you do it Twilight, I thought we were friends", I was sitting on a checkup counter, the doctor gave me a pill to reduce swelling of my face, I was still holding the ice pack to my face. "FRIENDS!? Why would I want to be friends with a stupid idiotic jerk". "Idiot, I'll show you who's an idiot", I rammed Twilight into the wall, (even if I was in pain, no one calls me an idiot), so what she's a girl. "Hm, I see you want to challenge me" Twilight levitated me in the air with a smirk on her face. I squirmed, one swing of her head and I smashed into the wall across the room (the thunder crashed as I hit the wall). The nurse screamed. The pain from my broken wing sky rocketed through my body, I winced. Shaking the pain off, I began to speed and fly towards Twilight. Twilight zapped me with her magic, a small shock coursed through my body; she then again levitated me in the air and spun around and through me hard against the floor. I was out of breath and I was in pain but Twilight wasn't finished she opened the hospital door and through me out with magic and I hit the muddy floor with a thud.
The pain was paralyzing, the purple unicorn slowly walked over and frowned, her mane was dripping wet from the rain (it made her look more terrifying). "You idiot, how can you see that Forte loves you with all her heart, she carried you all the way from Sweet Apple Acres to here, she has been trying to make you happy ever since you guys go here, how can you not notice, she loves you". I felt my eye swell and my snout started bleeding. My eyes blurred up, and I started crying, I don't care who sees me anymore. "I know" I sniffled, "She told me".
"You’re a selfish human, just like the rest of your kind, Forte should stay here, and she’s generous, loyal, kind, honest, and funny. HOW CAN YOU NOT LOVE HER"
"I do, but....."
"But what!!???"
"It doesn't matter anymore, she hates me, forget it. You know what I'm leaving, thanks for the bruise." I turned around and was about to leave, then a hoof touched my shoulder.
"I'm gonna find her, for your sake, for her sake and for my sake"
That unicorn can run fast, I had to flap my wings fast to catch up with her which was hard to do when there wet. The coldness of the rain stung my cuts and bruises. "Twilight, please we can't find her in this weather"
"Do you love her?"
"Uh-"
"DO YOU LOVE HER!?"
"YES, I do with all my heart, I love her"
"Then let’s go"
Forte's P.O.V.
I suppose walking around in the rain for three hours wasn't the best way to spend my time in Ponyville. But this was Evan we were looking for so I suppose…it's worth it. I started having headaches, and my yellow bubble was starting to flicker from on to off to on again. I guess doing magic for three hours straight drained me out.
I dragged my hooves into the mushy wet gravel road, pushing myself to go on. I saw we were getting close to Sugar Cube Corner. “Maybe we could stop for a treat and rest” I thought. Suddenly I saw a group of ponies moving and….dancing to… MUSIC?! I stopped casting the force shield, the bubble popped, glitter sprinkled to the floor and the rain started soaking my dress and making my hair droop down. I didn't care, the beat was calling me.
"FORTE WHAT ARE Y-" screamed Rarity
I quickly interrupted her and ran. I ran and ran. My galloping hooves splashed mud against my dress. I ignored it, I needed to get to the music.
"Forte....please stop" I hear Fluttershy cry. I heard Fluttershy and Rarity's hoof steps galloping after me.
The beat was getting closer, and the crowd of ponies standing in front of Sugar Cube Corner got closer and closer. I ran faster and faster and I finally reached the most beautiful sound in the world. The spiky blue maned, white DJ was nodding her head to the beats of the music. My forehoof started tapping to the rhythm of the music and soon enough I was dancing. Rarity and Fluttershy finally caught up and they were staring at me curiously as I spun and shimmied. I started singing along, my voice echoing through the dark night and the patter of the rain.
"RAIN PARTY!!" screamed the happiest pink earth pony as she saw my dancing. We bumped flanks and started dancing and singing together.
Fluttershy and Rarity looked at each other, shrugged and started to dance too. I had never had this much fun since we came here. Music has always made me feel better, always; I danced and danced, the beat gave me energy, then suddenly the music stopped. It was quiet except the patter of the rain I turned my head to the DJ, curious to see why it suddenly got quiet.
"Forte!!!" A mysterious voice rang through the still air of the crowd.
I turned my head to the far horizon to see where the voice was coming from. There stood a purple unicorn running down the hill towards Sugar Cube Corner.
"TWILIGHT!? What are you doing here? Is something wrong?"
Twilight finally reached me and she was breathing fast and out of breath.
"Forte, there’s someone who needs to say something to you, someone important"
"Princes Celestia? What does she want with m-"
"No someone else"
"Princess Luna?!"
"No no no, Ev-"
"EVAN!? WHERE IS HE"
Twilight pointed behind her (still panting like a tired dog) and there standing on the top of the hill was Evan. His navy blue mane was blowing to one side of his face, he was facing me and a smile came to his face. I smiled and then he opened those beautiful red wings and flew towards me. He landed; then and there we met eye to eye. He had a black eye and one side of his face was swollen, there were cuts and bruises all over him. But he was still handsome as ever.
"Forte I need to tell you something"
"I do too"
“You go first"
"Look I'm sorry I shouldn't have hit you and your right we should go bac-"
Suddenly Evan pulled me into a kiss. Our lips touched and I fell into thoughts of heaven. His lips were soft like pillows and his arms (hooves) wrapped around me were comforting.
I pushed him away and interrupted the kiss
Evan's P.O.V.
Twilight just kept running and running and wouldn’t stop, I was flapping my wings trying to catch up. She suddenly paused and I crashed into her, she didn't seem to notice.
"Shhh Evan stop fooling around, listen"
"Listen to what?!"
"SH"
It got quiet, and then I heard it, it was music and….singing. It was the beautiful sound of an angel. I knew that can only come from one person. It was Forte.
"IT'S HER, NO ONE ELSE CAN HAVE SUCH AN BEAUTIFUL VOICE SUCH AS FORTE'S"
I started running again. I ran faster than before, this time Twilight was behind me, I needed to get to her. We ran up a hill, getting closer to the music. As we reached the top, we looked down and there was a group ponies dancing to the rhythm and my beautiful Forte was there singing her heart out. Twilight started running down the hill screaming the blue mare's name. I didn't follow.
"WHAT IF SHE DOESN'T FORGIVE ME, OR SHE SLAPS ME AGAIN" I thought.
I stared at her, and realized the music stopped. Twilight was talking to her. Forte's face was turning into a bright smile. She turned to me. I knew she forgave me. A smile grew on my face. I spread my wings out (which broke the sling) and I flew down the hill as fast as I can.
I landed and we were face to face.
"Forte I need to tell you something"
"I do too"
“You go first"
"Look I'm sorry I shouldn't have hit you and your right we should go bac-"
I couldn't help myself I kissed her. I wrapped my arms around her and held her tight.
She pushed me away, "OH NO, I AM SO SORRY I-".
"No, it's alright Evan it's not you it's me, look I'm sorry, I don't think right now is a good time. Me and you, well I don't think kissing each other as friends is a good idea so I-"
I raised my hoof and cleared my throat.
My Cadence, my love song
These stars are shining for you alone,
I know I can't win
My Cadence, my love song
Love blooms everywhere you go
I know I can't win, without you by my side
Best friends even since we were young
I should have known. Can't believe I was wrong
I need you here by my side
I've loved you since the day we met
I know your heart wouldn't stray from me yet.
I need you here by my side
I stopped singing. “Forte Melody”, I chuckled at the name, “Would you like to be my girlfriend”.
Her eyes started to water,she smiled and started speaking, "You sang Evan, you sang for me and.....it was the most beautiful thing I have ever heard"
"So what's your answer"
"YES!!!!" She screamed as she flew up into the air at least five feet. She pulled me in this time and we kissed and I loved every second of it. The crowd cheered and the music was playing again. Even if the rain is still pouring, nothing could ruin this. I pulled back and I have never seen her so beautiful, she was in a black and white and gold dress with her hair in a braid. I didn't care if she was sopping wet or muddy.
I love her.
Forte's P.O.V.
As the beat of the music played, me and Evan were dancing side by side. Occasionally his wings would brush against the side of my stomach tickling me or our flanks crash into each other making us blush each time. We danced and danced. I kept thinking that this is all a dream, it's just too good to be true. I turn to see Rarity and Fluttershy dancing together, (Twilight just kept staring at the dark sky). A brownish, colored colt with orange curly hair came over, talking to them and I saw Fluttershy blush. The yellow Pegasus started getting close to him, quietly smiling and dancing along to the beat. I ran over and smiled at the two best friends I can ever have, I hugged them tightly thanking them over and over again and telling them I could never have gotten Evan without there help
Suddenly the crash of thunder, and the sudden change of wind speed and rain interrupted our hug. I looked up into the sky, the cloud were getting thicker and darker. The wind was strong, my light blue mane blew behind me like a flag, I could barely walk without being blown backwards. I squinted my eyes to see through all of the flying dust, rubble and sticks.
"TORNADO" screamed some pony in the crowd. I looked up the hill, and there a funnel cloud was starting to form. I calculated that it was about two miles from the town.
"QUICK PINKIE PIE, GET EVERYPONY INSIDE OF SUGAR CUBE CORNER" screamed Twilight over the wind.
The pink pony nodded. "Come on everypony the party continues inside" said Pinkie Pie trying to keep a positive attitude. Everypony followed her inside the bakery. "We need Rainbow Dash and Applejack, I know that Dracon is causing all of this and without the rest of the elements we can't stop him" screamed Twilight trying to stand her ground from the wind. The tornado was starting to get closer and closer. "Fluttershy and Evan go fly up into the sky to find Rainbow Dash, Rarity go help Pinkie Pie with the citizens" screamed Twilight "And Forte, me and you are going to run to Sweet Apple Acres".
"WHAT?! Twilight do you not see the weather we're getting right now, where I come from we're suppose to be in a basement right now" I screamed.
"No we need Rainbow Dash and Applejack"
"But it's too dangerous, especially for flying into the sky. Fluttershy and Evan's lives are at risk if there going to fly in this kind of weather, please we can't do this"
"It's fine, there going to be alright"
"No there not, Fluttershy may be, but not Evan ,he just healed his wings, he can't do it, please Twilight I can't afford to lose him"
"You won't lose him...I promise"
Evan's P.O.V.
Forte stopped talking, she just sat there quietly and soon came running over hugging me and crying on my shoulder.
"What ever happens Forte, I will always love you"
"No stop, don't talk like that, your going to be alright Twilight promised and I-I-I promised"
We hugged again and Fluttershy hooked her arm against my arm and turned to Forte, "And I promise". My love let go of me, I saw fear in both of their eyes.
Our wings starting flapping and we went into the air. I looked down as we were flying up, Forte was galloping behind Twilight glancing back at me in the sky. They were soon just a moving dot below us. The wind kept getting stronger as we got higher and higher into the sky. I could barely keep on track with Fluttershy who seemed to be a pro at this. "Of course she is she's done this since she was a kid right, ugh concentrate Evan for Forte" I told myself.
"So uh...you doing alright back there"
"What oh uh yeah, Fluttershy right"
She nodded, "Now Evan be careful of these dark storm clouds don't get too close to them, lightning can shock you anytime if you do".
"Oh uh okay" I really didn't pay attention on what she said after that.
We started flying straight with a dark wall of clouds hanging three feet above us. Fluttershy and I were starting to call Rainbow Dash's name as loud as we can. "We could just fly through these clouds, usually above storm clouds the sky is shining blue and the sun shines bright" said Fluttershy. I nodded, "Then why don't we fly through". I was starting to fly through the clouds then all of a sudden a painful shock coursed through my body.
I started falling.
Fluttershy's P.O.V.
He kept falling, and falling and it's all my fault, I shouldn't have given him the idea. "Great going Fluttershy" I told myself. I started panicking, I cant go tell them that Evan died when I haven't even tried to save him, I flew downward as fast as I can.
I broke the promise.
Oh if only Rainbow Dash was here, everyone knows she's a better flier then me. Just like Celestia was listning to me, a flash of Rainbow flew past me catching Evan.
I blew out a sigh of relief.
Evan's P.O.V.
I stopped falling and I was so confused. "Hey you alright" said a tomboyish voice, "That was close wasn't it, luckily I was here". I looked up too see a sky blue, rainbow maned pony flying above me, holding me by the scruff of my neck. I flapped my wings and started flying on my own.
"Uh thanks, I really appreciate it"
"Ah it's all cool"
"Oh Evan are you alright, I am so sorry I-" worried Fluttershy.
"Don't worry about it and yes I am thanks to Rainbow Dash"
"So what's up" said the blue pegasus
"Well lets see, the evil Space and Time pony has caused a tornado to happen, Rarity and Pinkiepie are in the bakery shop with a bunch of citizens, and Twilight and Forte are running to find Applejack" I said sarcastically
"Well what are we waiting for, lets go and kick some evil King flank"
Meeting the Prince (draft)
Forte's P.O.V.
"We got to hurry Forte, by the speed of the tornado and the distance of it from Ponyville I calculated that it would hit Ponyville in 20 minutes" said the worried purple unicorn. I was galloping right beside her and I could barely hear her over the wind. We were running on the dirt road, kicking puffs of dusts behind us. I finally saw the entry way of Sweet Apple Acres. The big red barn was in plain view, the dangling sign with a apple painted on it swung violently and the leaves of the apple trees rustled and fell.
As we started entering the fields of the apple orchards, we saw Big Mac hauling a cart of multi-colored apples. He was quickly trotting toward the barn. "Big Mac, Hey Big Mac" I called. The red stallion turned his head and saw Twilight and me, he nodded his head in greeting and went back hauling the cart of apples. "Wait Big Mac" I called trotting towards him, "Where's Applejack"
"And who might you be"
"Forget that, we need Applejack"
"Ay don't have time to find her, I need to haul these apples before these tornado hits Sweet Apple Acres and blows them all the way"
"Well where did you last see her"
"South Orchard" he pointed his head the way we should go, and went back to pulling the cart.
Twilight and I started galloping toward the South Orchard.
As we ran through the field, dodging the trees we saw the orange southern earth pony kicking at one of the trees with her powerful hind legs.
"Applejack" I screamed
The orange mare turned her head facing me. "Howdy there partner" she said then going back to kicking the apples out of the trees into the big buckets surrounding it, she then started walking off.
"Wait Applejack we need you right now, the tornado is about to hit Ponyville and we-".
"And what do you expect me to do about it?!" she barked
"I'm sorry, jeez, I just, we need you to stop Dracon from destroying the town"
Applejack sighed, "I'm sorry I snapped at you, it's just that we need to hurry to clear the apple orchards before they blow away if they do alot of money goes doen the drain. I'm sorry I can't help right now"
"Applejack we need your help, your the element of honesty"
"So, I can't stop a tornado with a element"
"But you can stop Dracon forming the tornado, if you don't stop kicking those apples out of those dang trees and getting your flank over to Ponyville, then there will be no Sweet Apple Acres, and you caused everyone's lives to be in danger for stupid apples" I said a bit frustrated with her stubbornness.
Applejack sighed again and nodded her head in agreement.
We started heading back to town quickly, the wind started picking up, faster and faster. I saw Evan, Fluttershy and RAINBOW DASH! "Hey Twilight they found Rainbow".
Evan's. P.O.V.
The tips of my hair was tinted black from the shock. After we found the rainbow Pegasus, I was thanking her non-stop. I was pretty worried I would lose my life or Forte will lose hers.
It's been a while since the two unicorns left. Fluttershy, Rainbow dash and I standing outside watching the tornado get closer and closer. "Forte has told me your a-a-a weather pony, that's it. Why don't you stop the tornado" I asked Rainbow Dash.
"Yeah I am, I'm more of a cloud buster then a tornado stopper"
"But you've never tried, Forte told me that you're Equestria's greatest flier, aren't you"
"Of course I am,I'll prove you"
Rainbow Dash started flying into the direction of the tornado.
"Hey what's Rainbow doing" said a voice which of obviously not Fluttershy's.
I turned my head, and there stood Forte, staring quizzically at the tornado. "Forte!" I screamed hugging her. "Evan I missed you too, but what is that Pegasus doing with that tornado". I turned my head and saw Rainbow Dash dodging in and out of the big twister. Suddenly the Pegasus was flung out of the tornado, hitting the hard ground.
"Uhhhh" groaned as her eyes were spinning.
"That's it I had enough of this stupid Prince" said Forte. She started galloping right towards the tornado.
