A Brand New Life!

"Wake up." A voice said to me trying to wake me up. I pushed the sound away.

"Hey, wake up." I heard the voice say again poking me with what felt like a scaley finger. I pushed the hand away, not wanting to wake up.

"Come on. Wake up." The voice said with a angry voice. I guess I'm not getting any more sleep now. I opened my eyes, they slowly adjusted to the area and I found my self in the liabary home I fell asleep in.

"About time you woke up." The voice said now seeming relived. I look over to the right and was filled with fright.

"Ahh! A Dragon!" I said while flipping backwards out of the coach. I fell on the floor and rolled backwards on my back. I stopped rolling and was now looking back at the coach.

"Please don't set me on fire! Please!" I said while scooting backwards into a wall.

"Whats your deal." It said looking over the coach.

"Whats my deal?" I asked it. "Well theres a dragon right in front of me and I'm afraid to die!"

"Ok, first of all," It said as it jumped jumped down from the couch onto the floor. "My name is Spike, and I'm a baby dragon, and I would never harm anypony."

"Oh," I said feeling like an idiot. "Its nice to meet you Spike, my name is-"

"I already know your name," He said interrupting me. "Twilight wouldn't stop talking about you last night."

I was shocked. Twilight was talking about me? Wait maybe she was just talking about me as a friend, yeah a friend.

Spike's apperence was just a short dragon who walked on two legs, he had yellow and green scales. Weird he dosen't look like how I thought a dragon would look like. I stood up and dusted myself off, I then heard the sound of Twilight's voice.

"Spike! Did you wake Shadow up?" She asked as she walked down the staris.

"Yeah." Spike answered. "A little different then I thought he would wake up." Twilight then walked into the room and looked at me.

"Good moring Shadow." She said with a smile.

"Good moring Twilight." I said as I gave her a smile.

"So are you hungry?" She asked. Then suddenly my stomach started to growl. I held my stomach to silence it be it did less. I heard Twilight giggle by the sound.

"Come on, lets go to Sugar Cube Corner." She said as she grabbed my arm and pulled me to the door. "And, Spike." She said as she looked back at the dragon. "You can stay here and reorganize the books."

"Aw man." Spike said as if he has said that more than once. Before he could say anything else, Twilight shut the door to the liabary.

"Don't you think that was a little rude." I asked kinda shocked by her behavior.

"Not really," She said as she looked at me. "Its really a usally thing for us." I cocked my head to the side confused as how this was an everyday thing. She then pulled on my arm again trying to break me out of my thoughts.

"Are you hungry or not Shadow?"  She said as if she was trying to make me go to some sort of party.

"Yeah Twilight, of course." I said as I got out of my thoughts.

We were walking down the street, when I happened to see Fluttershy with a little bunny on her shoulders.

"Fluttershy!" I called to her. She seemed to jump by my shout, but seemed to get a smile on her face as she relized it was me who shouted. She then walked over to us.

"Hi, Twilight. Hi Shadow." She said in a different type of voice than the day before. The other day she sounded very shy and nervous, but now she seems a bit confindent and happy about something.

"Hey, Fluttershy." Me and Twilight both said together at the same time. We all looked at each other and started to laugh.

"Fluttershy, would you like to head to Sugar Cube Corner with us?" Twilight asked as she calmed down from laughing.

"Actully, I was on my way there to get Angel a carrot sundae for him."  She said as she looked over to her shoulder to the bunny who seemed to be the Angel she was talking about. The bunny looked at me and suddenly jumped from Fluttershy's shoulder and landed on my head.

"Angel!" Fluttershy said as she reached for the bunny. "Its rude to jump onto other ponies heads."

Though, as she was saying this Angel had nuzzled into my hair and fell asleep.

"Angel, get out of his hair right-"

"Its ok Fluttershy." I said while interupting her. "Hes kinda cute actully."

"Oh, if its fine with you." She said now seeming to forget about what had just happened.

"Well lets all head to Sugar Cube Corner." Twilight said.

--

After some more time of walking, we reached a house that appeared to look like a giant ginger bread house.

"Well, were here." Twilight said. I looked the building over and was confused on the structure.

"Why does it look like a giant gingerbread house?" I asked while pointing at the house.

"Its called,  Sugar Cube Corner, for a reason Shadow." Fluttershy said as she slowly picked up the sleeping bunny, and taking him off my head. He resisted at first but he gave up, and was taken off my head.

"Wake up Angel." Fluttershy said softly said to wake him up. It was adorable the way she talked to him. The way her pink hair matched her fur. The way her slender body look in her yellow sweater. The way her pink tail swayed. Wait, TAIL!? I had never noticed a tail before, maybe because I'm not a pervert.

I looked over at Twilight, and saw a tail sawying at her flank. It was the same color of her hair, it to had a pink highlight in it.

"Shadow. You there?" Twilight said while poking my arm. I then shook my head and looked away blushing for staring at them.

"Yeah." I said while rubbing the back of my head. "Just um, daydreaming."

"Well since were here." Twilight said while pulling me into the store. As we entered the store my nose assulated me with many sweets.

"Pinkie! Are you here?" Twilight called out. When she said this, there was a sound of some pans being set down on a table. Suddenly it felt as if someone was breathing down my neck, I slowly turned my head around and was completely taken back.

"HI!" A pink colored mare right in my face. I screamed and fell backwards onto the ground.

"Pinkie." I heard both Twilight and Fluttershy say. I sat up and looked at the mare who had given me a heart attack.

"Whoopsie." She said in a bubbly voice. "I'm just so happy to meet another stallion is all."

"Wait, another stallion?" Twilight asked as Fluttershy helped me up to my feet.

"Oh right." She said shaking her head around. "I should probably introduce him." She then walked through a door that led behind a kitchen.

"What just happened?" I asked with a dumb struck face.

"Pinkie Pie just happened." Fluttershy said. I then heard some hushed chatter coming from behind the counter. Then the mare know as Pinkie Pie, came out with a stallion close behind.

"Hi." He said while waving at us. "Its always nice to meet new ponies." I for some reason couldn't stop and think about who he reminded me of. His appearence seemed so familar to me, he wore a dark blue jacket that had lockings on the sleaves. His fur was a much deeper color than the jacket, his hair seemed to be a bright shade of orange. I then saw a tail moving behind him it was the same as his hair, he also had a pair of wings attached to his back. The final thing I noticed was that his eyes were a mix of green and blue.

"My name is Knight." He said in a even more simular voice.

"Its nice to meet you Knight." Twilight said. "My name is Twilight Sparkle, and this is Fluttershy and Shadow."

"C~can I have a little chat with you Knight?" I asked him, with a glare.

"Sure." He said as he walked into the kitchen.

"Shadow." Twilight said with conseren in her voice. "What are you going to do?"

I looked over at her. "I just need to find some thing about him." I said as I walked into the kitchen.

As I walked in, I saw Knight eating a cupcake. "So, what do you want Shadow?" He asked as he ate the rest of the cupcake.

I looked him dead in the eyes. "Who are you?"

"Didn't I tell you already."

"Who are you?"

"I told you its Knight."

"I know its not your real name."

"How do you know?"

"Just answer me this."

"What?"

"Your name is Josh."

His eyes widen in horror. He started to breath heavily, I walked up to him and placed a hand on his shoulder.

"The reason I know is because its me, Cameron."

"Cameron?" He said softly. He then pulled me into a bear hug. "I thought you were dead."  He said while he stopped hugging me.

"I thought I would never see you again. If your here then Charels has got to be here to."

"Well I'm sure he will be here."

"Well let get back out the, I'm pretty sure Twilight thought I was going to kill you."

"Where would she get an idea like that?"

"Maybe its because the way I talked, I don't know really."

"Yeah, lets just get out of here." And with that we both exited the kitchen to the room we were previously in.

Twilight then ran up to my and looked me right in the face. "Shadow, what were you talking about in there?"

"Um, well from past history Knight here." I said as I punched him in the arm. "Are old friends, I'm just surprised that I ran into him."

"He an old friend?" Fluttershy said looking at Knight abd then back at me. "Were either of you in flight camp?"

"Uh, yeah except I droped out." I said while rubbing the back of my head. "But he graduated with ease."

"Oh, well that good to know." Twilight said as she picked up a muffin on the counter. "Would you like a muffin Shadow?"

"Muffins?" I stared at the muffin with content. "I would do anything for a muffin!" I then dropped to my knees and waited for an order to take.

"Um, how about you can just have the muffin." She said as she handed me the muffin. I then jumped up to my feet.

"Really?" I said, as I took the muffin. "Thanks, well I should be saying thanks to Pinkie for making the muffin right?"

"Actully." Pinkie said look at Knight. "Knighty here was the one who made the muffin." I could see a slight blush form onto Knight's face.

"Well, thanks Knight, if its ok with you can I get about ten more muffins."  I asked as I bit into the muffin, it was absolute heaven when I bit into the muffin.

Knight and Pinkie then walked into the kitchen.

"Shadow?" Fluttershy said getting my attention.

"Yeah Fluttershy?" I asked as I gobbled down the rest of my muffin.

"Well I forgot to ask them to get Angel's sudae so could you take him back into the kitchen and ask for me?" She asked kinda souding a bit nervous.

"Sure Fluttershy, I'll get his sudae." I answer to her. Suddenly Angel jumped out and landed onto my shoulder, he then began the lay down on my shoulder.

"I guess hes already warmed up to the idea." I said with a chuckle. "I'll be right back."

I then walked into the kitchen with Angel riding on my shoulder. When I walked in I saw Pinkie handing Knight muffins as he placed them into a bag.

"Oh, is there something you need Shadow?" Pinkie asked as she stopped handing Knight muffins.

"Fluttershy forgot to ask for a carrot sundae for Angle." I told them as I pointed to the bunny.

"Oh another one of those, thats easy." She said as she suddenly handed me a class cup sundae with a carrot sticking out. I looked at Pinkie in shock, I shook it off as I felt a huge sense of dejavu happened. I then handed angel the sundae and he started to gobble it down.

Pinkie then handed me a bag, I then looked inside the bag and saw ten muffins inside.

"Thank you Pinkie and Knight." I thanked them as I walked back out of the room.

Before I could walk out Angel waved his paw in front of my face.

"What is it Angel?" I asked him. He had apperently finished the rest of his sundae already.

"Wow, you must have been hungry." I said as I took the empty glass out of his paw and placed it on a nearby counter. I then walked back over to the door but Angel waved his paw in front of my face again.

"What is it now?" I asked him. He then pointed at the door, I opened it slightly and saw Fluttershy and Twilight talking. Angel then pointed at Fluttershy, then he pulled me into the kitchen again, and then pointed at me. He then made a kissy face.

"Are you saying that, F-Fluttershy want to..." I trailed off on my words unable to finish the sentence. Angel then nodded in answering my question.

"Ok lets just get out of here." I said as I walked out of the kitchen.

"Did Angel get his sundae?" Fluttershy asked me as she took Angel into her hands.

"Yeah, he ate it really fast though." I told her as I thought back at how fast he ate it.

"I see you also got your muffins." Twilight said as she looked at the bag.

"Yeah, tasty muffins." I said as I took out a muffin and took a bite out of it.

"Well lets head back to the liabary now." Twilight said as she opened the door out.

I walked out of the store with Twilight and Fluttershy close behind. I was so happy to finally know that one of my friends were here, I just hope Charles is here.
