//------------------------------// // Chapter 2 // Story: The Legend of the Silver Pony // by SilverStomp //------------------------------// Chapter 2 The Race Waking up from the Dream he had, Silver Stomp Awoke to the sound of birds chirping and the sound of his mother Calling Him down for breakfast. "Okay Mom, I'll Be Down in a Sec." He Yelled getting out of his bed. He went into the bathroom and Looked into the mirror and Saw that he looked like he had just went through a Cake Mixer. He Laughed it off and Brushed his Mane to what he likes his hair to be. Of Course Not to make his Mane look like a Mare's mane he put down the brush and went downstairs. While walking downstairs he could smell the food his mother had made for him and his family. As He walked in He saw his mother and father at the table. "Morning Mom, Morning Dad." Said Silver As he walked into the Dining Room. "Good Morning Son." Said Silver's Mother and Father together in a Cheery Voice. "How did you Sleep last Night?" "I slept okay, I had the Dream Again." "The Dream?" "Yeah you know, The dream I've always had for the last 3 years?" Said Silver, "Yes I remember you don't have to be smart with me young man." Silver then Rolled his Eyes and sat at the table. After Eating His Breakfast he Said To his mother that he would get some flying practice. "Okay But Be Careful I don't want you running into Rainbow Dash like last time Remember? You both Crashed into each other While in the sky!" "Yeah Yeah Yeah I know. It was only yesterday that I crashed into her!". Silver got ready to take off into the air, Spreading his wings he charged up the road and took off into the air flapping his wings and soaring through the sky. As he was going to try to do some tricks he flew over Rainbow Dash's House and Decided to pay her a Visit. As he landed on the cloud of Rainbow Dash's place he knocked on the door. And to his Amazement Rainbow Dash was actually home for once. "Hey Dash." Said Silver. "Oh Hey Silver Stomp, Whats up?" "Oh Nothing much just getting in some flight practice for the day." "You sure you shouldn't be studying for that Magic exam your taking too?" Asked Dash. "Yeah I should, but I Know I'll ace that test!" Dash let out a small giggle, "Well your still the same as always." Said Dash as she walked out of her house. "But enough talking, You wanna race?" "Sure, Why Not, Maybe you can learn to catch up this time." "Ha ha Very Funny." Dash said Sarcastically. "Well are we gonna race or not?" so they agreed that they would race Now.They Headed towards the raceway. "Alright, On your marks, get set, GO!" Before Rainbow Dash Could even take off Silver Stomp was already Far ahead. Dash raced off and caught up with Silver Almost Instantly, They were neck and neck, each flying at the same speed. Near the end of the Race on the last stretch, Silver and Rainbow were doing a nose dive towards the last checkpoint before the Finish Line. But before Silver could finish the race he felt something overcome him. He had not felt this feeling before, Not in his entire life. This feeling was so powerful that he had Blacked out and was falling fast towards the ground. Rainbow Stopped as she watched her friend fall out of the sky. "HOLD ON SILVER, I'M COMING!" Yelled Rainbow as she raced towards her Falling friend. Rainbow when faster then she had ever went before. Silver was almost near the ground before Rainbow Dash caught him. Setting Him on the ground, she checked to see if he was still Alive. He was breathing, But he seemed to be in an Unconscious state. She knew she had to get help and fast. She Rushed back to Cloudsdale to get some help.
