//------------------------------// // Chapter 2 // Story: Dragon in Ponyville // by Endy_thePony //------------------------------// "Alright, you could sleep in the Ever free Forest I guess." Twilight said extending a hoof. I didn't know what the 'Ever free Forest' was but, I didn't really like the sound of it still. "Twilight, wouldn't that be like treating her like what she is?" Fluttershy asked sympathetically next to me. uh oh... I thought. When Twilight looked out the window she suddenly shouted, "I've GOT IT!" I had jumped at this random excursion and bumped my head on the ceiling, and of course my head was still a little.. 'woozy'. So.. I may or may not have passed out. All I remember at this point was a lots of climbing and fluttershy hanging in front of me making sure I didn't fall backwards down the mountain. But fluttershy filled me in when we got to the top, but i'll skip that part. So it turns out Twilight had remembered a cave that a dragon was previously living in, and he had left. I'm pretty sure that's kinda rude, well at least.. OH MY END SO MUCH JEWELS. just like any other dragon would, I pretty much dived into the pile of glimmering jewels. I'm not the proudest about this... especially the reactions I got from them when I had a giant diamond in my mouth.. like a dog. So I immediately dropped it, asking "So why did this dragon leave? There are SO MANY jewels.. i'm positive that this would be a dragons heaven..." I said drooling at the jewels. Twilight looked at her hooves as if they were aliens, Apple Jack looked nervous, and fluttershy covered her face with her mane. At first I was confused to no beyond, then it started to draw on me.... I let my paw slide down my snout saying, "You guys, scared away the dragon that was living here?" When they didn't respond I just sighed and added, "Okay, just no scaring me away, cool?" "As long as you don't start snoring smoke" Twilight said pointing a hoof at me. "All right," I said putting my paws up, "Miss Alicorn" At this remark she looked like she was ready to blast me with a spell. After that they all left to do what ever, Apple jack to work, Twilight to read, and Fluttershy to look out for her animals. While I lay awake on this bed of gold and jewels, I though about that other poor dragon. So I decided to do the respectful thing, put a portion of it outside the mouth of the cave. All though, I hadn't expected for another pony to come up here, but some one did. All I heard were the hooves against the rocks, only to hear a squeal outside. What in the end could make a noise that high pitched?! When I looked outside it was a white pony, more or less a unicorn, picking out the best gems from the pile I left. That's just not right, how in the world would a pony AT THIS TIME OF NIGHT, know i put gold and stuff outside? I poked my head out, no reaction. I stuck a paw out, still no reaction. Dang that pony is into her jewelry I thought. I stuck my entire first half of my body outside, STILL no reaction. Okay, that's it, I've had it. I thought crossly , if this pony wants jewels, she could come ASK. I wouldn't mind AT ALL. So I probably did the dumbest thing ever, I scooped her and the pile up and carried her into the cave. When I placed her down, I sat in front of the cave mouth and blocked it. She didn't even notice she had been moved, until I finally spoke up. "Um, yeah, Hi. I noticed you were taking some gems there." I said, "Would you like to continue?" She finally turned around and just gawked at me, staring down at her. "uh-ah-I was just... *ahem* If I may..?" She asked. I stared at her asking with my eyes, 'Continue'. "May I saw your scales are just looovely? And your gems.... *ahem* they are indeed quite beautiful, such a shame to just sit in here and rust." She said, trying to 'bribe' her way to getting more jewels. I just rolled my eyes. "May I inquire who is stealing my respects to the dragon who previously resided here? And WHY you're stealing the gems there, Madam?" I replied dragging out the last word. And sat back straight up, still staring down at her. "I am Rarity. And you are..?" She said waving her hoof in the air. "Endy. I feel like I should recognize you...." I said staring at her, "Wait do you know Twilight, Apple jack, and Fluttershy?" "Why yes I do, they're my best friends." She said nodding. Well, I knew that me and Rarity were going to have a lot in common. So I smiled and moved out of the way and she started to leave, and I noticed her bag was drooping due to the amount of jewels she was carrying. So I picked up her bag of jewels and walked her home, as the sun came up. While we were talking and walking down I saw clouds stating to pop as we got closer to Ponyville. "Is that normal in Ponyville?" I asked watching the clouds popping, when Rarity looked up, she nodded and replied, "Yes, Rainbow Dash is our local weather pegasus." "oh. So, it seems like you ponies are pretty orga- wait, does Rainbow Dash look like a cerulean pegasus with a rainbow mane?" I asked noticing a blue speck coming increasingly fast at us. Oh no, not again I thought in agony. Rarity hadn't noticed the blue speck flying at us at like, 30 miles an hour. "Why yes indeed, how did you know?" She asked looking back at me. "Because she's flying straight at us..!" I said shrinking and preparing for impact. When Rainbow Dash hit my paw, she kinda fell and I struggled to catch her, but I wanted to make sure she was okay. When she finally woke up she started flying again and diving at my paw. Really? I just saved your LIFE and you dive bomb at my paw, as thanks? geez, your welcome. I thought staring at Rainbow Dash. "Rarity, I've got this! wait, why aren't you running Rarity?" Rainbow Dash asked looking back at Rarity. "Rainbow Dash, i'm fine. Endy is not going to hurt me. In fact she was walking me home, to make sure nothing bad happened to me. Correct Endy?" Rarity asked. All I did was nod my head and look back at Rainbow Dash. "So, may I pass into Ponyville, Rainbow Dash?" I asked, thinking of only one reason why she would attack me. She was the town's guard.
