Chapter One
You've never knew your family. You've been living in a horrible orphanage your most of your life. They told you that you were a reject and would never be adopted.
At one point your decided that have had enough and you ran away from the orphanage because of the way they were treating you. They treated everypony else like they were there own child but they treated you like a freak of nature.
Surviving has been a big issue for you. You been keeping yourself hydrated by drinking out of a river, or a fountain if needs be, but food was the biggest issue, sometimes ponies would give you food. But if you got desperate you would have to steal some, you have been caught stealing food about three times but sometimes you would get off the hook because you were so young.
You walk through this new town you wondered to. You have know idea what the town is called but you don't care as long you are as far away from the orphanage as you can possibly get.
As you walk past every alleyway to find a place to sleep for the night. No luck yet. You walk through the town with your head low causing your silver mane to fall into your eyes. All you travel with is your saddle bag which has your blanket and some other unimportant stuff.
As you are walking you bump into someponys leg. You look up to see a pink curly hair mare staring down at you.
"I-I'm s-s-sorry m-ma'am" You say to her well avoiding eye contact. You always been a shy pony and always stutter on words.
"It's okay little guy it was an accident" She says with a caring voice and patting you on the head.
As try to walk around her you feel a hoof reach out and stop you.
"Hey I've never seen you around here before and should know because I know never pony in ponyville. My names Pinkie Pie and Did you just move here?" She ask you all with one breath.
"I um y-yes" you say
"I need you throw you and your family a party" Pinkie says excitedly
"N-n-no Th-thanks"
"Why not?" she asks you.
Excuses start to swim through your head and you try a fish out the best excuse
"B-because m-my p-p-parents don't like p-p-parties"
"WHAT, that's crazy how could somepony not like parties?"
You just stand there looking at the floor
"Well could you try ask them with they want a party?" she say getting down to your level
You nod
She pats you on the head and bounces away
You stand in place for a few seconds and then continue your search for a place to sleep
"I just don't get it" Pinkie says walking around Twilight's library "How could somepony not like parties, let alone a Pinkie Pie party" she continues
"Pinkie, You have to understand that moving to a new town can be very stressful on some ponies, maybe they don't want to deal with the stress of a party right now" Twilight says rearranging books
"I guess you're right Twilight" Pinkie Pie says coming to a stop of walking around in circles "I guess I need to wait until they're ready to have a party" Pinkie walks over to her friend "Thanks for the super duper help Twilight" she says hugging her.
"My pleasure Pinkie"
After countless hours of walking around looking for an alleyway to sleep in you finally find one that is dry enough for you to sleep. This alleyway even has a cardboard box that you could just about fit into.
You pull out your blanket from your saddle bag. The blanket is the only thing you have that is important, the blanket was a nice sea blue color just like the color of your coat. Your were told that when your parents dropped you off at the orphanage. The blanket was the only thing That you had with you.
You lay yourself down in the box and pull the blanket over you and slowly close your eyes.
The sun shines on your face wake you up
"Another sleepless night" you mutter to yourself
You crawl out of the box with your blanket and put the blanket in your saddlebag, you strap on your saddle bag and walk out of the alleyway.
As you're walking down Ponyville again trying to pass the time to the next night. You bump into someponys leg again, you look up to the same pink pony from yesterday with a smile on her face
"Hi" she says greeting you "Did you ask your parents?" She asks
"Y-yes" you say
"What did they say?"
"T-t-they said t-that they c-can't h-have a p-party b-because" you stop to think, Pinkie looks at you with worried face
"B-because t-they h-have t-to go to a b-business m-meeting" you say trying to put on a innocent smile
"Are you sure?" she asks
You nod
"Okey dokey lokie" she says with a worried tone and walks away
"dodged the bullet there" you mutter to yourself
Another couple of long hours of doing absolutely nothing you go back to the ally that you slept in on the first night and take your blanket out of your saddle bag and begin to crawl into the same box.
"Hey!" a voice call out from the entrance of the alleyway
You look over to she a dark silhouette on a pony, dropping your blanket you run over and hind behind the nearest trash can
"Hey, It's okay I'm not going to hurt you" the voice says
You peek your head out from behind the trash can to see a the pink mare sitting by your blanket and saddle bag
"Come on out from behind there I don't bite" She says
You come out from behind the trash can and walk over to her
The pink mare picks up your blanket and hand to over to you
You take the blanket and hold it tight in your grasp
"What are you doing out here by yourself?" She ask
You stay silent because you thought that the answer would be obvious
"Do your parents know you're out here?"
You still stay silent
"Hey I can't help you unless you don't tell me"
"Isn't it obvious" you say
"Is what obvious?" She asks
"I don't have any parents" you with tears forming in your eyes
She gasps and hold you tight in a hug
"Why don't you go to an orphanage?" The pink mare asks
"NO! I can't go back to an orphanage, not after the way that the last one treated me" you say with a couple of tears running down your face
“Well then you will have to come with your auntie Pinkie Pie!”
Pinkie Pie lets go of you and picks up your saddle bag with her mouth. She then picks you with her hooves up place you on her back while you still hold your blanket.
She walk out the alleyway with you on her back and walks into a bakery shop and walks upstairs and into a room. She picks you up and places you on the floor
You look up at her while she get down to your level
"How long have you been living on your own?" she ask
You stop and think counting how many birthdays you had
"A-About a year and 6 months" you say
She looks at you with complete shock and brings you in for another hug
"How have you been surviving for that long?" she ask you while you were still in her hug
"I would usually drink from the nearest lake I could find" you say
"And what about eating?"
"Some of the nicer ponies would give me what they had left or I would..." you stop mid sentence
"You would what?"
"I would would steal some" you says say in a barely audible voice
She gasps again and pick you up so your face is level with hers
"You know stealing is wrong right?" she says with a serious face
"I know it is but was the only way I could survive" you say
She brings you in for another hug
"Don't worry. Pinkie Pie will look after you" she whispering in your ear
She place you on the floor and looks at you with her big blue eyes
"Its getting a little late, and little colts shouldn't be up at this hour" she say bopping you on the nose
Pinkie walks over to her bed and lays down and pulls the covers over herself
You lay down on the floor and pull your blanket over you. You hear some hoof steps heading towards you. You feel yourself being lifted up into the air and then put back down again on a soft surface
"You don't need to sleep on the floor silly" she say with a giggle "You can sleep on the bed with me" she pulling her cover over her
"T-thank you" you say
she kisses you on the forehead and the closer her eyes
You smile and place your head on the pillow and by Celestia was it soft.
So this is what a real bed feels like
You close your eyes and slowly drift off to sleep
