When I agreed to be sent to Equestria I didn't read the fine print. I'm the wrong age, the wrong sex, and lost in the wilderness.

It's been almost twenty years since Sunburst last spent the night at Starlight's home. Much has changed since then. If it weren't for her other friends finding a way for them to reconnect, Starlight might have truly lost her first friend. While she looks back fondly on their friendship as foals, Sunburst doesn't even seem to like talking about that time in their lives, much less revisiting it.

When Starlight approaches Sunburst the night before he returns to the Crystal Empire, she inadvertently discovers something about her old friend that might explain it all.

Inspired by a scene from Uncommon Bond. Story takes place towards the end of the episode.

Thanks to Ice Star for proofreading.

Blazing Comet is your average earth pony. He works as a contractor delivery pony pulling carts teeming with various goods for numerous businesses He has even worked for the Celestial court on a few occasions moving armor and weapons to the various guard posts. Today offered one such contract under the Celestial Court but this one was different. The contract offers a lavish pay to offset the dangers of transporting a new but highly unstable material. Due to the value and countless applications of this material, it is expected that the convoy may be attacked during travel. To ensure the delivery is a success a large patrol is assigned to protect Comet as he transports the material to Canterlot for further research.

Not long after setting off the group is ambushed and Comet is severely injured during the attack.

Disclaimer: My first published story. Potentially erratic update pattern (though it is pretty much a life goal to be a hobbyist writer so at some point I will always return). Please leave comments on things I can improve on. I was not happy with the first chapter but, published it because I need to start somewhere. I am still developing a writing style and it will probably mean this story will suffer from growing pains as I work it out. Thank you for the chance!

Notable mentions whose material has aided in the development of my writing style and inspired me: anon3mous1, FuzzyVeeVee, canadianbrony91, Kind of Brony, Queen Sanguine Dreams

Thanks to these above I was inspired to write my own story. I used them as a guideline to get a working solution to my own writing style. It may be reminiscent of one or all of them.

Warning: Please note this is one of my first stories. Admittedly, I don't think I am all that good at writing. I do plan on getting better and returning to this story when I can do it justice. For now however be aware that it is not all that great in its current state.
