//------------------------------// // Alone // Story: My little pony:finding friendship // by SonicRainboom2000 //------------------------------// That dreadful day at cheerlies classroom is over for today. Brushing aside your luxurious green mane,you decide to travel in search for company. On a humid day near the outskirts of ponyville, you notice that no pony is looking your way. “Is this even news to me?” , You mutter under your breath as for the 99th time,you are alone,completely unnoticed. You sigh as you soon realize that twilight sparkle used to be an outcast herself, and that surely you will be noticed at some point. Being a Pegasus pony from an orphanage in the clouds was rough, you could at least vaguely recall that moment when that Sonic rain boom led to you falling to the ground below,and hoped that someday you’d get “magical powers” like Fluttershy did. Sadly,you are still a blank flank,as those schoolponies refer to you as,and it doesn’t seem like you have a talent worth mentioning anyway. You’ve wanted and craved attention from even the most average ponies for such a long time that you’ve just about given up. As a last resort,you head to the sugarcube corner with a few bits in your school bag,clutching it dearly,as it is the only thing you have from your mother,who passed away when you were only a year old. As you walk in,the cupcake display looks as delicious as ever! You drool slightly over the buttercream birthday cake sprinkle delight, prepared to pay. As you hand over your money,you hear a whisper saying “enjoy it while it lasts.” Knowing that this was probably not the best place to search for friendship,at least for yourself ,you still keep going. Finally, after many days of searching, you came across a small village in trottingham where you see a group of children playing ogres and oubliettes.They looked up and saw you and were amazed by your beauty, which you had failed to see in yourself.You slowly approach them, your heart racing, unsure of how they would react. Then,you attempt the impossible: After nearly 500 years,you perform a Sonic rainboom uniquely your own,the colors matching your yellow-green mane. The ponies gasp in awe,and soon you have 4 new friends! You are just as shocked,since your caretaker at the orphanage said that you were just an ordinary pony with no hope for a future. Then you play a game of ogres and oubliettes with your newfound friends,and you are amazed as your natural talent as a pony master unveils itself as a cutie mark of a glittering d20! With your friends by your side,you launch a campaign for ogres and oubliettes,and 2 new members join! You couldn’t be happier than how you felt at that exact moment,and you just knew that your hearts destiny had been fulfilled. Now you just had one more request: to find a family!
