In the Dawn of Destiny

-----Chris's P.o.V.-----

"Fuck, why is so god damn cold and bright."  I said as I put my hood from my hoodie to cover my eyes and to keep the cold wind from hitting my face.  Why the hell did i come in here,  worst idea I ever had.  Justin should have fucking stopped me.

I let out a sigh of relief as the wind started to die down as it warmed up.  Then a wave of pain shot through me when I hit a passing cloud next to a forest.  Clouds are hard, who knew.  As I stood up and let my eyes adjust to my surroundings, I notice a scream of pain coming from under me.  I looked around to not notice anyone around me or under me.  "Cool I found some crackers, the gods of treats prove to be generous today."  I turned the crackers around and then read the wrapper '100% wheat .... Fuck you god of treats' then threw the crackers off the cloud.  Then I heard the scream again, so I got up and searched again.

"Were are you!"  I yelled trying to figure out were they were.  I sat there and waited for a response but never got one.  "I forgot that clouds move."  I said as I brought my hand to a facepalm but then saw I had no hands but blue hooves instead.  "No way."  I was a freaking pony, a pegasus at that.  'I guess I'll use my knowledge of ponies here.'  My excitement was then cut short by another scream of pain.  This time I knew what direction it was from, so I tried to spread my wings, to my surprise they did.  "Now we're getting somewhere."  I said with a grin, the scream was now closer.

"Help!"  the scream was closer and I can tell it was from a mare.  So I tried flaping my wings but I was going nowhere any time soon so I did the next best thing.  I took a few steps back and got into position and after a short countdown I sprinted with all my might and jumped off the cloud.  I was really hope for a stroke of dumb luck that I just happened to not be to high off the ground, then I was greeted with a hard belly flop on a lake.  "OWW."  I regret nothing.  I slowly walked out of the lake and started to run to were the scream came from.

"Hey!  Were are you!"  I yelled as I tried to find the origan of the scream.

"Here!  And hurry I think I broke my leg."  she cried from behind the treeline.  As I make my way through the light of day gets consumed by the darkness of the forest.  I went a good 20 feet before stumbling upon a pink earth pony mare sitting next to a tree.  'Ok now what do I do.'  I slowly make my what to her and see her broken leg.

"Alright."  I said as I tried to think of a way to help her.  'Maybe I could carry her back .... Yeah, that seems to be the only way.'  "Ok.  Climb on my back."  as I kneeled down and she just nodded and climbed up.  We then started to walk in a random direction because I just got here.

"Thanks.  I didn't think anyone would find me in the middle of a forest."  she said as we continued a random bee line through the thick forest.  The walk was extremly boring and the mare would not shut up.

"Im sorry to interupt but .. SHUT UP!"  I said with a Iritated tone of voice.  'If all mares talk like this one, this is going to be a upsetting trip.  Honestly she was just like Josh.'  I feel like I did the world a favor shuting her up.  It was a long peacefull, and boring, walk. 'I wish I still had my music right about now.'

10 minutes go by before she asks "Whats your name anyways."  Since I was a pony I thought it would be as best opertunity as any to use my created name.

"Storms Melody, and to whom did I have the pleasure of meeting in the middle of a forest." I said as I rolled my eyes to answer her question.

"You wouldn't believe me but my name is Josh" She said.  I stopped dead in my tracks at that bit of information.  She must have thought they said something wrong.   "Are you ok."  She asked noticing I was shaking.  I was trying to hold back the worst case of laughter in history.

"No.  It's all good."  I said as I collected my thoughts a devilish grin grew on my face.  'This is going to be the best trip ever.'  We walked for another 15 minutes before reaching an opening in the distance.

"Well we're finally out of that damn forest."  I said as I let out a yawn.  'Damn im tired.  Must have been the long walk plus extra weight.'  We started our way to the hospital and she was looking around as if waiting for something.  "You ever been here before, your looking around like a maniac."  I asked walking down the road.

"No.  Just taking in the sites."  She said still looking around.

"Well I just thought you might be looking for somepony."  I said shrugging.

"Well actually I am looking around for 3 of my friends.  I thought this would be one of the first places they would come to."  She said in a rather sad tone.

"Yeah I know the feeling.  I lost 3 of my friends at one point to.  I eventually found 1 of them."  I said with my grin growing.  "By the way were are you from exactly."

"A far away place."  She said still in a sad voice  "You would have never been there so dont ask for specifics."

"You'd be surprised at how many places I've been to and came from."  I yawned as we reached the hospital and went inside.  A nurse trotted up to us and took Josh to a room to get her leg checked out while the doctor asked me some questions to fill out a form.

Once a gave him all the true information 'He didn't believe any of it' I went to the room Josh was in.  "Hey once your done in here I could help you find your friends.  Just find me in a nearby cloud and call my name."   She just nodded in reply with a smile.  The doctor walked as I was heading out the door.  He stopped me and asked "What did you mean you said you were from a place called Texas?"

"What?!  Your from earth to."  Josh asked in a surprisingly happy tone.

"Well yeah.  Who do you think threw you into the TV."  I said while laughing.  I notice her face go from happy to pissed in under 1 second.  I just grinned.  "What the jacket not give you any hints at all."  I laughed noticing a injured pony.  'Holy crap its snowflake, and he's checking out Jo- Oh My God.  You could not ask for a better set up.'  My grin turned into a grow as an idea came to me.

"Hey snowflake. You can play with her if you dont break her."  As I said this Josh looked across the room to see a big white pegasus with his eyes glued to her drowling.  She turned to me with a glare that said 'I will have my revenge' as I turn back to the door.  "Well doc.  I guess I'll go and let you do your thing." I said closing the door behind me.

I was making my way to the front door when all I heard was  " No NO NO NO. NNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"  With a smile on my face I made my way to the outside taking a deep breath on the great good deed I did.  I looked around and noticed a fairly big cloud that could hold 3 pegasi on it and decided to take a nap.

I flaped my wings and got enough air to take me up to the cloud when I noticed a gray mare with blond hair laying down looking at the sky just watching the higher clouds pass.  "Yo" I said as I raised a hoof for a shake and a friendly smile on my face as she looked at me with a surprise expression.  She started to go wall eyed and panicked.  I started to laugh at her alarmed state.  She turned to me with a sad look on her face and flew off, as she flew away a small little glistening spec rolled off her face.

I was frozen were I stood as she flew out of sight.  'Was that a tear?'  I thought walking over to the edge of the cloud.  'Did she think I was laughing at her.' I wondered as I stepped a couple of feet back and sat down.  "Why .... Why do I feel so bad right now" I asked as I just sat there looking off to where the grey mare flew of to bringing a hoof to my chest.  I turned around and laid down were she was and slowly drifted off to sleep.

----Justin's P.o.V.-----

'Smoke.  Why do I smell smoke?'  *Cough*  I try opening my eyes, to my displeasure everything is just a blur and really bright.  'I'll try my senses, smell.'  I took a slight sniff which was over run with smoke more than anything else.  *Cough* 'Check,  hearing?'  I just focused on my surroundings.  I could here the crackling of the wood that was burning next to me.  'Check, good enough.  I'll just my eyes again.'  I opened my eyes and they were alot clearer.

"Well it looks like somepony's finally awake."  A yellow stallion said with a smile as I collected my thoughts.  *Cough* I held my hand up to my mouth to only realize I had no hands.

"What am I?"  I asked trying to not sound to shocked as I looked around "Were am I?" then looked back to him and asked "Who are you."  At this he looked really surprised.

"Well for one your a pony, and secondly your in the everfree forest."  He said with another smile.  "And do you really not know who I am?"  He asked, his smile faded into a light frown.

"No.  I'm sorry."  I said with a hint of guilt.

"Well we did fall out of the sky."  He said letting out a sigh.  "What were we doing up there anyways?"

I then relised he looked like one of Chris's ponies he made of us,  then I noticed the bumb on his head.  "Eddie?"  I asked only to get a confused look on the yellow ponies face.

"No, I am Cheese Cake.  We've been friends for a long time Chrome."  He said with a really sad face.  He let out a sigh and asked"How about Storms.  Do you remember him?"  'Storms.  Isn't that Chris's pony name.'  He face started to lighten up when I realized who Storms was.  "So you at least remember him?"  I gave a slight nod and he let out a sigh of relief.  We decided it would be best to get out of the forest and head to the nearest town.

   After 20 minutes or so of walking through the seemingly endless forest I asked  "Were are we going anyway?"  He stared at me with a questioning look.

"We're heading to Canterlot.  Maybe the princesses know how to find Storms."  He said as he pick up a little speed from his rather slow pace.

"I've been meaning to ask but wasn't there 4 of us?"  I asked as he stopped and put a hoof on his forehead were a small bump was.

"I cant quite remember anything besides you, me, Storms, and this place."  He said trying to remember something.  "Everything else seems like a blur.  The only thing I can remember was hearing Storms saying our names."  He let then let out a sigh and started to walk again.  'Whats going on?'

An hour of walking and we finally made our way out of the forest.  I saw a vast open field.  You could see Canterlot on the side of the mountain.  "The sun is at its peak so its about noon.  We're going to have to hurry in order to get an audience with the princesses."  I said as my walk turned into a run.  Cheese cake nodded and ran along with me.

'We made it here faster than I thought we would.  That was what, a 10 minute run.'  I was trying to catch my breath when I noticed ponies just staring at us.  "Why are they staring at us."  I asked.  Cheese Cake just shrugged.

"They're staring at you because of you disruptive entrance."  A voice said from behind us.  We turned around to notice a violet unicorn staring at us with a smile.  'Wow.  The last thing I expected today was to get talk to my favorite pony'  "Hi, my names Twilight Sparkle and may I ask why you came in like your being chased by a manticore?"  She asked staring at me and Cheese Cake.

I was just standing there, frozen.  I wanted to answer her question but some part of me was just stoping me.  'Why cant I say anything.'  Cheese Cake was now staring at me.  He let out a sigh and said  "We are here to see the princesses.  We have a few questions that only she could probably answer."

"Oh.  Well if thats all I can get you to see the princesses."  Twilight said as she walked past us.  Cheese Cake shoved me and gestured to follow.

After a few minutes, it was a nice and peacefull walk to the castle.  The other ponies were still watching us.  Not sure if it was because were new or the comotion we caused earlier.  "You know what I think?"  Cheese Cake says in a low enough voice were Twilight cant here him.

"What?"  I asked in the same tone.

"You like Twilight."  He said as a slight grin grew on his face.

"WHAT!?"  I yelled in surprise.  Twilight turned surprised at the sudden outburst and I felt my face grow a little warmer.

"Are both of you ok."  She asked.  She noticed my face was a little red so she walked up and put her hoof on my forehead causing my face to grow even warmer.  'Come on.  I knew she was my favorite character in the show but I never had these kind of feelings.'  "Do you have a fever."  She had a little bit of worry in her voice.  I shook my head in response and she let out a sigh of reliefe.

Cheese Cake was laughing really hard until he callapsed onto the floor.  He cought his breath and said  "We're good just having a little stallion talk."  She just nodded and kept walking.  As Twilight got out of ear range he turned to me then said  "Looks like I was right.  For some reason I just knew you liked her but not that badly."  'He deserves to get fucking punched for making me go through that.'

After a few minutes my anger passed and the word Storms came back to my mind.  "Where do you think Storms is?"  I asked trying to get my mind off what just happened.

"I Dont know."  Cheese Cake said while he stopped to think.  His eyes opened wide and he turned to look at the forest.  "You dont think he's still in the Everfree forest, do you?"  Cheese Cake asked as he was looking at the castle then the forest not knowing what to do.

"What going on?"  Twilight asked as she slightly tilted her head.  'Why does she look ... different.  Is it because I'm a pony now to.'  She walked over to the me and asked  "Is he going to be ok."

"There were 4 of us but we dont know what happened to the others."  After I said that Twilight nodded Cheese Cake stopped pacing.

"Can your princesses find other ponies?"  Cheese Cake asked with a hint worry in his voice.

Twilight shrugged and said  "I think princess Celestia might know a tracking spell strong enough to reach your friends."

"Well lets get going, the sooner we get to the princess the faster we find storm."  I said as I started to walk in the direction of the castle.  The others nodded and  caught up to me.

After an hour of walking we came to the castle. 'My god this place is huge'  We entered the castle to see princess Luna walking down the hallway.  "Ah. Twilight Sparkle we are pleased to see you again."  Luna said as we bowed.  "Please raise.  We do not like these formalities you ponies give us."  Luna said.  "Now why is it you brought these two ponies?"  She asked

"Well they need help finding their friends who they fear are in the Everfree forest."  Twilight said.

"Hmm.  Well we could ask Tia if she knows a spell to help find them."  Luna said while tapping her hoof on her chin.

"Yes.  That would help a lot.  Storms the youngest one out of us all, I dont like the thought of him being in the forest at night."  I said.  Luna just nodded in agreement and started heading to the throne room with us following her.

"Tia."  Luna says to get Celestia's attention.

"Yes Lulu?"  Celestia asks.

"These ponies ask if you could help them find their friends."  Luna says gesturing to me and Cheese Cake.

"I see.  Well we could try the locator spell.  Tell me your friends name."  Celestia said with a smile.

"His name is Storms Melody, you highness."  I said with a bow.

"Very well I shall try the spell now."  Celestia says as her horn begins to glow.  After a few seconds the glow fades into reality.  "Your friend is taking a nap in Ponyville but something seems to be bothering him."  Celestia said.

Cheese cake steps forward and asks the princesses "I have another request."  Celestia now turns to look at him as he continues to say "I dont seem to remeber much after hitting my head, could you help me regain my memories."  Celestia nodded and her horn started to glow again and touched Cheese Cake forehead and he fell unconscious.

"He will regain some memories but not all.  His subconsciance does not want him to remember everything and the spell only works as far as his will lets it."  Celestia says as she looks at Luna  "Could you take these 2 at the entrance to Ponyville Lulu."  Luna nods and her horn begins to glow.

"I'll see you guys there I have to talk to princess Celestia."  Twilight says as she waves goodbye.

"Yeah hopefully we will have found our friends by then."  I said while returning the wave.  Then there was a bright flash followed by a sense of dizzyness.  Then I blacked out.
