I’m thirteen years old and it's summer break. It will be great for me to hang out with my friends. I also made some new ones. Their names are Summer Song and Base Note. Those colts are really nice and are really good at music. They are also friends with my other friends so that’s a plus. We are taking a walk through the park, something we like doing quite often. We enjoy these trails and the trees and animals around. 

“I especially love this park in the summer.” Summer Song said.

“I agree this park has always been quite fun.” Base Note spoke.

“Yeah, this place is pretty nice looking.” Apple Bloom said.

“I agree I mean you don’t find it in Manehattan.” Scootaloo spoke.

“So true I’ve been there, they really need to add more parks or something.” I spoke.

“Where I’m from there are plenty of parks.” Bella said happily in remembrance. 

“I like parks, they are beautiful and peaceful.” Sweetie Belle said as I saw her ignite her horn as she levitated a purple flower and sniffed it the scent was of a sweet lavender soap. I sniffed it and the scent was quite pleasant.

We continued to walk. We would only go about a mile since we only have so much time mom would want me home by 8pm sharp.

We saw a stream and sat down to have a quick snack. It was 4pm and we would be heading back after our snack.

“This day has been quite nice.” I said.

“Yeah it has.” Sweetie Belle said.

“Man it's hard to imagine that a few short years ago my life was hell but now it’s the best life I could ever ask for and I have you guys to thank for it.” I said in true appreciation to my friends.

“Thank you Spike, that means a lot to us.” Apple Bloom spoke.

“I’m gonna be honest for a while my only friend was Base Note I’m… really glad we met.” Summer Song said.

“My friends back in my homeland would probably like you guys.” Bella said as we continued to walk.

We then saw Twister, Blizzard and Thunder Storm flying around doing tricks. We stayed hidden. We do not want to deal with their crap. They then spotted us and we tried to get away but couldn’t.

“Can we go through one day without dealing with you racist pieces of crap?” I spoke.

“How dare you call us that you filthy beat.” Twister yelled.

“I have been dealing with racism since I was eight. None of the things you can say will affect me.” I spoke.

“Like how you affected Princess Twilight she lost her title and got a 20 year sentence in prison because of you.” Blizzard spoke.

“She abused me.” I yelled.

“And you deserved it.” Thunder Storm said snarkingly.

“Save that again and y’all regret it.” Apple Bloom said angrily.

“Oh but it’s true.” Twister said with a cruel smile.

“Screw you.” I said.

Thunder Storm then went over to me and slapped me across the face.

“Thunder Strom.” I heard a stallion yell. I turned to see Thunder Strom’s Blizzard’s and Twister’s fathers flying over to us. I smiled.

“Dad I.” Thunder Bolt spoke.

“What the Tartarus is wrong with you, that child was abused, and you slapped him in the face.” the stallion yelled.

“Actually your kids have said a lot of racist things about me and my friends.” Scootaloo said.

“What!” the stallion yelled.

“They also say racist things about me since I’m a pegasus who can’t fly and say I'll never amount to anything because of that.” Scootaloo said.

“Don’t worry we will be having quite a long talk with our sons after realizing this.” another one of the stallions said.

We then went home, and I told my mom what happened, and she visited with their parents and had some choice words to say about those bullies. The good news is they won’t be bullying us any time soon and their parents will probably ground them. In spite of them bullying us I had a lot of fun with my friends today it was nice. Today was a good day.
