Those That Were Not are Now

Chapter 2

After a pleasant afternoon of feeding the animals with Fluttershy I became aware that I have no where to stay for the night.

"I wonder if clouds are as comfortable as they say." I thought. "Well I guess there's only one way to find out.

I said goodnight to Fluttershy, opened my wings, and used the small amount of knowledge I obtained from Fluttershy to slowly elevate myself to a cloud above. When my head hit the soft somewhat liquid like cloud I fell asleep instantly not waking until the next glorious day.

*KNOCK*KNOCK*KNOCK*

I could hear three very loud knocks on what I presumed to be the door to Fluttershy's cottage. I looked down to see an almost completely pink pony waiting at the door. The door opens and I see the pink pony start up a conversation with Fluttershy.

"Hey Fluttershy! I heard that you and Rainbow found some new ponies in the woods yesterday!" The pink pony said this so fast I almost didn't catch what she said. "I talked to Rainbow and she said you helped one of them walk back to you cottage so I came here first."

"Oh yes I did help him get here, he's on that cloud up there I don't think he's awake yet though." Fluttershy said in a very soft tone.

'I wonder why she is so interested in meeting new ponies.' I thought to my self.

I hopped down off my cloud and tried to gracefully float down to the ground.

*WHAM*

I had hit the ground rather hard. I opened my eyes to see the pink pony standing next to me looking very excited to meet someone new.

"Hi." I said

"Hi." she said "I haven't seen you around town before are you new?!"

"Yeah I'm new here." I said plainly, still a little suspicious and intimidated by her bubbly personality.

"You look like you don't trust me or something." She said looking a little dejected.

"Well I kinda don't trust you, I have some trust issues that run really far back to my early childhood." I said kinda shamefully.

"So it's not just me?" She asked, less energetically this time.

I shook my head.

"Ok then, to show you I trust you I will tell you a secret." She said as she picked up her front hoof and beckoned me to come closer. Then she whispered in my ear.

"I was going to throw a surprise party for you and your friends but since there are three of you I think I'm gonna need some help setting it all up. Whaddya say, wanna help me?"

I raised my head and looked at her with a grin. "Sure I'd love to help." I said.

She looked back at me with a huge smile and grabbed my hoof. "Come on we've got no time to lose we gotta get started now!" She yelled as she dragged me along.

"... Oh I almost forgot my name is Pinkie Pie, what's your's?"

"Oh my name is Wordsmith!" I said jubilantly.

Remembering what me and Fluttershy talked about last night...

-FLASHBACK-

"So you said your name was Andrew earlier right?"  asked Fluttershy

"Yeah that's my name. Why do you ask?"

"I asked because that's a rather odd name for a pony  and if what you told me is true then you are not from Equestria. So I was thinking you should come up with a name for your self."

"Alright then, do you have any ideas?"

"well what we're you good at back at home?"

"well I was not really good at anything I was like a jack of all trades back home so I don't know maybe I could be called..." Picking out a name is important I can't screw this up. "I'll just go by Wordsmith" I said with confidence.

"Oh that sounds nice I'm guessing you liked writing story's back home?"

"Yeah I wrote a lot but I was never very good at it."
