Part of my Headcanon and Apology Verses.

Written for Everfree Northwest's Scribblefest 2018!

Tempest Shadow was a military leader, and one of the Storm King's most deadly generals; but a long time ago, she was just a little filly in Ponyville. Now she's asked Princess Celestia to help find her family, so that she can resume her life in Ponyville. Tempest knows Celestia has to be lying to her when she reveals that her mother is - Mrs. Cake?! So Tempest sets out on a quest to find her real family - right under Princess Celestia's nose!

She waited until she could hear the six ponies obviously following her start whispering among themselves before she spoke her prepared lines.

“OH,” Tempest Shadow intoned, loud enough for the would-be stalkers hiding behind the barrels in a nearby alleyway to hear her, “I DON’T KNOW IF THIS IS WHERE I BELONG. BUT … MY HEART, IT’S BECOMING SO FULL OF THIS STRANGE NEW EMOTION.”

The voices behind the barrels sharply quieted, listening keenly for her next words.

“I THINK … I’M GOING TO GIVE PONYVILLE ONE MORE TRY.” Tempest Shadow said, with as much gravitas as she could manage, and heaved an overdramatic sniffle as she rubbed beneath one eye. “I THINK I’M GOING TO GIVE LOVE … ONE MORE TRY.”

“I knew it!” came a soft voice from behind the barrel, which was rapidly shushed by five other voices.

Arriving in a strange world, you, a musician, stumble upon a unicorn named Tempest Shadow. As you grow closer to her, it reveals a growing love.

Thanks to his job, Anon E. Mouse became tired and frustrated. His usual life was a living nightmare. He needed some kind of therapy which can make him calm and relaxed. But he didn't need a therapy. The only thing that he needed was a pet. A cute, smart, beautiful and lovable pet.

In the petshop he couldn't choose, beacuse there was many kind of pet. Parrots, lizards, fish etc. Under the tour in the petshop he suddenly looked at an interesting aquarium and its content. In that aquarium he found the perfect pet. A tiny seapony called Princess Skystar.

Cruel. Heartless.
That's how some would describe what those two did. Maybe they're not wrong. But, we were just foals, and after everything I've done since then, how can I possibly consider myself any better?

These thoughts have plagued Fizzlepop Berrytwist, a.k.a Tempest Shadow, ever since the Storm King invasion was thwarted several months ago. Unable to run from her demons any longer, Tempest returns to the place where it all began in the hopes of reconnecting with all those she left behind.

My first one-shot! !

1/10/19. Inspired my buddy, The Bricklayer, to write his own story where Tempy returns home and reconnects with her past. Check it out! A Simple Truth One Must Face

You have befriended Tempest Shadow, a former arch-nemesis of Equestria; you like to spend time with her in the local park, despite her not being a big talker. Maybe she'd join you for your afternoon nap, if you asked nicely?

Based on a basic scenario by Enigmatic Otaku on a brief Blog Post Contest I held a few weeks back, and published with permission.

EDIT: Featured just a few hours after posting, early morning 10/23/18!

Finally, the MLP movie is in theaters. You've been waiting months for this film and now that it's out, you must see it! However, you're a bit self-conscious on being declared a brony by everybody, so you may need some help on making a decision on whether to see it.

That's what shoulder angels are for.
