//------------------------------// // Chapter 1-Innocence // Story: The Iron Horse // by TheMightyEquestrian47 //------------------------------// One afternoon in Ponyville, Pinkie Pie trots around town trying to find her friends. She sees Rainbow Dash flying at top speed through the clouds. "Hey Rainbow Dash! Whats the rush?" says Pinkie Pie joyfully. "No time Pinkie! I have work to do!" says Rainbow Dash while speeding off to clear the clouds. "Okey Dokey Lokey!" Pinkie then trots away to the rest of her friends. While walking away, a large wagon speeds toward Pinkie. Pinkie Pie screams as the wagon is about to hit her. In a split second, Rainbow Dash swoops down and saves Pinkie from the wagon. "Wow thanks Rainbow Dash!" said Pinkie in relief. "No problem!" She then dashs into the sky out of sight. "Wow Rainbow Dash's wings are very useful! If it were not for them I would be a goner!" says Pinkie with a smile on her face. It was off to Twilight's house. Opening the door, she looked in and saw Twilight organizing her books. "No No, that won't do! Its 3 centimeters off!" says Twilight angrily pushing a book back into place. "Hello Twilight!" says Pinkie startling Twilight. In shock, Twilight turns around and hits Pinkie in the face with a book. "Ow!" says Pinkie rubbing her cheek. "Oh sorry Pinkie I'm just really busy lately" turning around to wipe off the book. The hit on Pinkie's face caused a big bruise making the right side of her face swell. Twilight turns around to her and is surprised at her face. Pinkie then tries to tell her that she cant talk due to her mouth but only came out as a long spitty sentence. Twilight then apologizes again and looks around for a book on healing spells. "Ah! Here we are!" Twilight says as reading the book. She slams the book shut and then makes a yellow glow come her horn. Her spell hits Pinkie's face and Pinkie watches as her swollen face goes back to normal in an instant. "Cool!" says Pinkie while looking in a mirror. "Is there anything I could help you with?" says the eager pink pony. Twilight then nods no and pushes Pinkie outside. "Now back to my studies!" says Twilight walking back into her house. The pink pony looks at her cheek and says "Twilight is really good with magic! No wonder why she can do so many cool things!" She then trots away into town. Looking around, looks at all the wonderful things Equestria has to offer. In the sky, she saw lots of pegasi flying around to different destinations and clearing the skies. "I bet that sure is fun flying about up there" says Pinkie Pie in a saddened tone. She turns around and sees a couple of Unicorns repairing a building with their magic. "I bet it would be fun to use magic" says Pinkie as she sobs. Seeing all the amazing things Pegesi and Unicorns makes her think how plain she is and she bursts in tears. "All these ponies can do so many cool things that I can't!" Sad and full of pitty, Pinkie Pie walks out to Ponyville's outskirts.
