//------------------------------// // Three - Welcome to PonyVille // Story: FriendlyFire: Rainbow Dash's long lost brother // by FriendlyFire //------------------------------// Three - Welcome to PonyVille FriendlyFire opened his eyes to see a ceiling made out of straw. He starred at the ceiling for a while, confused. "Where am I?" FriendlyFire asked himself. Not knowing about the zebra watching him. "Where you are is in my hut. I brought you here after I fixed your cut." Said the zebra, startling FriendlyFire. FriendlyFire sat up from the straw bed and looked at the zebra. "Who are you?! Why'd you bring me here?!" Asked FriendlyFire "Zecora is my name. I brought you here after your dangerous game." Answered Zecora. FriendlyFire stood up. He noticed his shoulder didn't hurt. He looked at his right shoulder. His deep wound was gone. "Wow. Its like I was never hurt." Said FriendlyFire. Looking at his shoulder. "Yes, I saved you. With my healing brew." "Thank-you Zecora." FriendlyFire said. He walked towards the door, then stopped. He saw that it was morning out through one of Zecora's windows. "How long was I out, Zecora?" FriendlyFire asked. "You were out for an hour or so. That timber wolf gave quite a powerful blow." Said Zecora. FriendlyFire looked out her window, but quickly closed his eyes. The sunlight was hurting his eyes. "Zecora, could you please bring me my blindfold?" Said FriendlyFire, with his eyes closed and his hoof stretched out. Zecora walked away into a different room. Then she came out holding the blindfold. She dropped it into FriendlyFire's hoof. FriendlyFire tied the blindfold over his eyes. "How can you go anywhere when you can't see? You might run into a tree." Said Zecora. "Oh, I can see. Just not the way you can. I see by listening, and feeling. I was born with night vision eyes, looking in the daylight hurts my eyes." Said FriendlyFire as he stomped on the floor. FriendlyFire felt that Zecora's hut was in the middle of the Everfree forest. That's when FriendlyFire realized he was lost. "Hey Zecora? Do you know where PonyVille is?" Asked FriendlyFire. "Indeed I do. Follow me, I'm heading there too." answered Zecora as they both walked out of Zecora's hut. "So you say your related to Rainbow Dash? That is quite a smash." Said Zecora "What do you mean?" "Rainbow Dash is quite famous. Lying can be dangerous." "I'm not lying! She's the only one that can match my speed." "I believe you, FriendlyFire. But Rainbow Dash, might call you a lair." Said Zecora. Zecora and FriendlyFire stopped moving. FriendlyFire felt he was out of the forest. "Welcome to PonyVille. This town is quite a thrill." Said Zecora. Zecora walked away and FriendlyFire felt and listened. *Grrrr* FriendlyFire's stomach growled. "I'm starving. I wonder where I can find some food around here." FriendlyFire said to himself. He stomped both his hooves in the ground and felt the vibrations. There was an apple orchard north-west from him. FriendlyFire flew into the sky and headed towards the apple orchard. *Smack!* FriendlyFire heard somepony buck an apple tree. He flew down towards the noise. FriendlyFire landed next to the pony, accidently startling her. "What in the tarn nation?!" Said the mare. "Hi, my name is FriendlyFire. I haven't ate anything in a day. Can I please have an apple?" Asked FriendlyFire. "Why sure sugar cube. Mah name's Applejack. Where you from partner?" Asked Applejack after tossing FriendlyFire an apple. FriendlyFire took a bite from the apple. "I'm from Fillydelphia." Answered FriendlyFire. "What brings ya to PonyVille?" Asked Applejack as she bucked another apple tree. FriendlyFire took another bite from his apple. "I'm looking for my long lost sister, Rainbow Dash." "Rainbow Dash! Well, I'm a good friend of Rainbow!" Said Applejack, excitedly. "Really!? Do you know where she is?" Asked FriendlyFire. "Last I know, she was helpin Twilight clean up the library. Why don't you stay fer supper? One apple ain't enough ta fill up yer belly." "No, thank-you. I really must be going." "C'mon. Rainbow ain't going anywhere." "I don't want to impose." "Nonsense. Your stayin, and I'll take ya to the library afterwards." "Well, ok." Said FriendlyFire as him and Applejack walked into the house. Applejack and FriendlyFire were walking down the road to twilight's library. "That's quite a story, Friendly." Said Applejack. "You believe me, don't you?" "Well sure I do. But Rainbow Dash might not believe ya." "That's what Zecora said." Said FriendlyFire. They stopped at a tree with a library sign on it. "Here we are. I gotta head back. Them apples ain't gonna buck themselves down." Said Applejack "Thank-you!" FriendlyFire said as Applejack trotted back to her apple orchard. FriendlyFire walked inside the library to feel the presents of a unicorn placing a book on the shelves. She turned and noticed FriendlyFire standing in her doorway. "Hello. I'm Twilight Sparkle. Can I help you find something?" Asked Twilight. "Umm, yes. I'm FriendlyFire. I was told Rainbow Dash was here." Answered FriendlyFire. "Oh, I'm sorry she left a few minutes ago." "Do you know where?" "I'm sorry, I don't. May I ask why your looking for her?" "She's my sister." "Oh. She never mentioned having a brother" "I'm her long lost brother." "Oh. Good luck on finding her." Twilight said as FriendlyFire flew out of the library. FriendlyFire could feel that Twilight didn't believe him, but he didn't care. He just wanted to find his sister, and he had to hurry. The sun was going down. "I'll check to see if she's in town." FriendlyFire thought to himself. FriendlyFire flew into a park. There was a nice statue, and about three ponies. He didn't feel the family bond in any of them. He knew none of them were Rainbow Dash. "I haven't seen you around here. What's your name?" Asked a very happy pony. She was just bouncing beside FriendlyFire as he flew into town. "Uhhh. My name's FriendlyFire." Answered FriendlyFire. Then the pony gasped. "Oh my gosh! I love that name! I mean it has the name friendly in it!" "You sure seem happy today." "Oh I'm Pinkie Pie! I'm always happy!" "Uh-Huh." "Wacha doin in PonyVille? Are you moving here?" "Actually, I'm looking for my sister Rainbo-" "RAINBOW DASH! I KNOW HER!" "Really!? Do you know where she is!?" "Nope, but I bet SHE'S AT RARITY'S HOUSE! C'MON!" Pinkie Pie said as she ran down the street. FriendlyFire followed her. They arrived at a clothing store, and the sun was down enough for FriendlyFire to turn his blindfold into a headband. FriendlyFire stood in front of the door and looked up at the building. It was big. "So this is where Rarity lives?" asked FriendlyFire. "Uh-Huh." Pinkie Pie said as she bounced away. FriendlyFire was curious on where Pinkie Pie was going but he ignored the feeling and walked in. A bell rang as he opened the door. There was no one there. Then he heard somepony coming. Then a unicorn came down the stairs. "Sorry, we're closed" Said the unicorn. "Actually, I'm not here to buy anything. Pinkie Pie said Rainbow Dash was here." "Sorry, but I haven't seen Rainbow Dash all day. It's getting late, you should go home." "Actually, I'm from Fillydelphia. I don't have a house here." "Oh dear, well there's a hotel a few blocks from here." "Oh, well, I didn't bring any bits, but I'll find a cloud or a tree somewhere." Said FriendlyFire as he walked out of the store. "WAIT!" The unicorn yelled as FriendlyFire walked out the door. He stopped and looked at her. "I can't let you do that. You can stay here tonight." "Oh, thank-you but I couldn't let you do that." "Nonsense, You can stay on the sofa. I'll go get a blanket." "Bu-" "By the way, my name's Rarity." Rarity said as she walked up the stairs. FriendlyFire walked back inside and closed the door. When he turned around, Rarity placed the blanket on the sofa. "This is really generous of you, thank-you." Said FriendlyFire, as he walked to the sofa. "Your quite welcome." Rarity said as she walked up the stairs. FriendlyFire layed down on the sofa and fell asleep.
