//------------------------------// // Chapter one: Arrival // Story: System crash // by Metaldrako //------------------------------// Every Storm starts with a breeze A shallow wind blew across the planes, weaving the grass and dandelions back and forth, bee's flew around the flowers and worked hard to feed their colony. Meanwhile a wagon rises from the horizon being pulled by two ponys, an old dark brown unicorn stallion with a gray mane and a dark orange earthcolt with an orange mane. The young colt seem's to have a hard time pulling the heavy wagon while the old stallion kept his phase easily like he wasn't pulling at all. They stopped near the river to fill up their canteens and to rest a bit, both sat down on a tree trunk to eat their Daisy-petal-sandwiches. The young colt looked at the stallion. "Uncle Screwsam? How long until we reach Cornyville?" His uncle gave him an annoyed look and mumbled "It´s Ponyville! Stop asking, Copper we will be there in 2 hours!" Copper frowned and started gazing at his meal,"What´s up with him? He has been really grumpy since we left Manehatten,is he mad at me? Did I do something wrong?" Copper ate his sandwich and sat silent,his coat and mane were all sweaty, he hated it wen that happened, it just didn't feel right. He gazed at his sandwich and sunk into his thought's again,"I hope Mom and Dad aren't worried, I have to send them a letter wen we reach Corn-... Ponyville." Copper smiled while he was thinking about his loving parents, he wouldn't see them for some time but that's alright, he would have an adventure to tell and some bits in his pouch when he went back to Manehatten. He imagined his parents looking proudly at him,“I will show them that their son isn't a blank flank failure.” His parent ran the famous restaurant "Le Grande Parfait". One day Copper found out that he was good with electronics and mechanism´s by building a cooking machine to help his parents, it worked perfectly ….. before it exploded and set the kitchen on fire. Afterwards his mom asked her brother Screwsam if he could teach him since he was a professional and wanted to open his own shop in Ponyville. “Enough resting we have to get going,” Screwsam stood up to stretch his limbs” I don’t want to sleep in that stupid wagon again” Copper sighted, then stood up and went towards the wagon, it was big and heavy. The waggon was filled with electronic parts and gears which his Uncle needed for his shop, it was a miracle that just both of them where able to move it at all. “Maybe there is a pneumatic-” he got interrupted in his thoughts by the voice of his uncle, “Stop daydreaming and start pushing!” his angry uncle said. He did as he had been told and together they made their way to Ponyville. Bright sunlight was hurting her eyes, there was a female voice speaking. “Rise and Shine! You have to get up Sweetie or you will be late for school.” Sweetie belle rubbed her eyes and yawned,“We shouldn’t crusade that late at night, I am really tired.” she thought while she was still sleepy. “Get yourself ready, I have made breakfast” the female said happily I was hard to think, it's like her own mind just refused to work,“OK sis.” she mumbled in her tiredness, Sweetie sighted and slowly got up from her bed. With her eyes still heavy she walked to the bathroom. Sweetie looked at the mirror, a white unicorn filly with green eyes and a messed up pink purple mane looked back at her,she looked like a stampede of buffaloes had run over her. She washed her face, the cold liquid felt very refreshing to her,then she brushed her mane until it had it's normal form. Still tired she got downstairs almost tripping over her own hoofs. “Well that's a great way to start a day,” she frowned. Sweetie belle could hear Rarity humming a song in the kitchen, “Well at least sis is having a good morning.” a slight smile went up her muzzle. “There you are Sweetie belle! Sit down and eat up, I have to get back to work soon,” Rarity said in her happy mood . Sweetie looked at her sister witch was washing dishes in the kitchen sink, “Why are you so happy? Is it about your work?” “Yes dear, I have an important Visitor today,” Rarity answered looking over her shoulder, ”He wants to see my latest designs and if he like's them, I'll have more orders in the future then I could ever drrreeeam of, “ she said while smiling from ear to ear. “That's great sis, “Sweetie sat at the table and ate her Breakfast, it was tasty, she was impressed how well made it was,the eggs where fluffy while the lettuce was fresh and juicy and everything rounded perfectly up with a glass of cold fresh orange juice, after finishing her meal she felt a lot better and full of energy. “Thanks sis! Breakfast was great!” She said while looking at her beloved sister, “I'll be better going to school now.” she took her bag and went to school. On her way to school Sweetie belle meet Scootaloo and Apple Bloom, “Hi guys! How are you?” she asked friendly. Apple Bloom walked with half closed eyes ready to drop,“I'm fine,“ she yawned, “ thanks for asking.” Scootaloo was wearing her Helmet while not riding her scooter, she seemed to be happily excited. Scootaloo approached Sweetie belle,“Hi Sweetie! I was almost dieing today!” Sweetie gasped surprised and confused at the same time, “How can she be so happy about that?” she gave her friend a worried look, “And why is dieing a good thing?” “Oh I was about to wen I zonked out while cruising on my scooter,” Scootaloo started miming everything with her hoofs, “I didnt saw that tree in time and was about to crash in, but than Rainbow Dash rushed out of nowhere and saved me” one of her hoofs clashed into the other “ohh shewassoawsomeandIwhitnesedit !!” “Is she even breathing?” Sweetie wondered. “Isn'tthatawsome!” Scootaloo squealed havily panting. “Sure Scoot's but what happened to your scooter?” Sweetie asked out of curiosity. Scootaloo's happy face flushed away, “Well it wasn't that lucky, maybe my pops can repair it,”she frowned, but that changed rapidly as soon as she saw Rainbow Dash flying in the sky,“Theresheisohmygodohmygod!!” Both have gone there way to school, until... Sweetie looked at Scootaloo with a worried face “Scoot's where's Apple Bloom?” Scootaloo peered around “I don't know, I thought you know.” Both went looking for her, until they saw her sleeping upright on the spot where they meet before, Both walked next to Apple Bloom, after a shared look they giggled and then yelled synchronized : “Cutie Mark Crusaders arousal helpers!!!” Apple Bloom shrieked and jumped into the air,her heart was ready to burst, while she was giving her friends an angry look. “Thanks guys,” Apple Bloom mumbled after she calmed down,“no more crusading after midnight deal?”she added. Altogether they approved on it and made their way to school. At school the Cutie Mark Crusaders sat on their seats among the class rambling with their other classmates, as Ms. Cheerilee approaches the class she cleared her throat and spoke:“Let's wield down please!” The Class started so silent down,“Thank you!” she smiled “ We Today have a new face to introduce, please step forward and introduce yourself to the class.” A young colt steeped into the class.
