Thanks to "Diarch" for editing this. Also, thanks to my proof readers, "TexPony", "NightShader", and "multiple bronies."

Okay, before you judge the story, I'm going to tell you now, these beginning chapters are REALLY bad and unedited unless they say so. I recommend reading at least 7 or 8 chapters in before making a final opinion.


It was a bright and sunny day in the beginning of summer in Ponyville when he came. His name was Dim Shadow. Dim Shadow usually kept to himself. He found himself most comfortable in old, dark places. It wasn't that he was depressed or had a negative personality, he just really enjoyed that type of scenery. He was the kind of colt who was always trying to help others, but usually didn't talk unless spoken to. Dim Shadow’s coat was grey, and he had a light blue mane that fought bitterly with his sapphire eyes. His cutiemark was a heart with a shadow, and within the shadow was one pony helping another off the ground.
After the completion of arranging his room in his new home he wanted to check out the town. It was better to spend some time memorizing it now than to get lost in the future.
He took out a map that his parents gave to him. He noticed a few parks so he decided to go to the one on the edge of town near the woods. Little did he know it was the worst park to choose. As Dim Shadow made his way to the park, he passed a building that look battered and run down. Judging by the broken windows and ivy vines growing on the side. It looked abandoned He also noticed the school house nearby I assume that's where I'm going in a few months, looks pretty bland. he thought to himself in an unexcited tone.

When Dim Shadow finally arrived at the park he noticed that there were many young colts with cutie marks that had to do with sports like basketball or scootering. There were occasional fitness cutiemarks in the mass as well. Dim looked very out of place, and he knew that he was. He didn't spend much time there, maybe a minute, and everypony was already giving him weird looks and chuckling. Before he could leave, he was met by three colts blocking the exit.

"Hey, you the new kid?" The tall, orange pegasus said with a devilish grin on his face. Dim knew where this was going.

"Yeah, how did you know that?" Dim Shadow said.

"Cheerilee said that you would be coming to town, but you never got to school. My name's Heavy Weight." The colt said.

"Well it’s nice to meet you Heavy Weight. Now can you please move." Dim Shadow said, narrowing his eyes.

"Sorry, I can’t do that. All of the new guys gotta pay the fee, so give it up." Heavy Weight said, laughing a little

"Well sucks to be you. I don't have any money on me, so I will say it again. Can you move?" Dim snorted.

"Excuse me? Did you just try tell off one of the toughest, strongest colts in Ponyv-" Heavy Weight was cut off when Dim shoved him do the ground with a shoulder, and just walked off like it was normal. For him it was. In his old town there were many ponies like this that he had to deal with daily, so it became more of a routine for him or maybe even part of his life.
All the other ponies watching began laughing at Heavyweight as the new pony from nowhere just threw a very, very strong colt to dirt like common trash.

"I won't forget about this!" Heavy Weight shouted at Dim Shadow "I'll hurt you, and make you wish you were never born!"
"When I cry!" Dim Shadow yelled back. "When I cry..." he said softly under his breathe.
