//------------------------------// // Meet Tex, the Space Dragon // Story: A friend for Nyx // by MaskedPony //------------------------------// During school, cheerliee's class were discussing about the sighting of the Space Dragon. According to Cheerliee, a Space Dragon hasn't been seen for many years. The last Space Dragon that was in equestria passed away due to old age. Diamond Tiara even said while glaring at Nyx, that Space Dragons don't show peace to evil ponies. Nyx then told the Class that during the morning she heard the Space Dragons voice, via Telepathy. When the class heard this, they were shocked, They didn't even know that the Space Dragon communicated with Nyx. Nyx then stated that the Space Dragon may of heard her plea for a friend. The cmcs knew that Nyx was still heartbroken that Peewee was taken back to his family. Suddenly Nyx felt weird. The class noticed and they were worried. Nyx then heard the voice again. "I can see your mind Nyx. I know the lost of your Phoenix friend really bothers you. Don't worry when we meet, I'll be your friend. You might be wandering how i'm communicating with you. i'm nearby but using my invisibility technique. I will meet you soon. If something bad happens, we will meet." said the Space Dragon. "Nyx you okay?" Asked Silver Spoon concernly. "Yea i'm okay. I heard the Space Dragons voice again. She said that she is watich over me while she is invisible to the public. She said that when we meet, she'll be my friend." "HOW THE HAY IS IT COMMUNICATING WITH YOU?" suddenly Nyx heard the voice again she closed her eyes and listened. "Also if you want to know how i'm communicating with you due to that brat. I received visions of you when flying to earth where i'll live. I wanted a friend also, I Left my kind to live on earth so i can Live with someone or "somepony" that i can call a friend" "What did it say?" asked Applebloom" "It said that it received visions of me while flying towards the earth. it also said she's looking for a friend also and left her kind to live on earth and live with somepony she can call them her friend. I think she means me." The class was speachless. Diamond Tiara was mad. Silver Spoon Noticed She was hoping the same thing doesn't happen again. the recess bell rang and the class went outside. they started Playing. Ditzy, and Silver Spoon played with the Cmc and Nyx. Nyx and the Cmc members started talking. Applebloom was still sad that scoots and Sweetie belle have their Cutie Mark and she doesn't. Nyx then remembered that Scoots told her that Applebloom rebuild AJ's treehouse. "Applebloom, have you thought of thinking back?" said Nyx "What ya mean?" "I was told you rebuild Applejack's treehouse. You tried everything to find your talent but you didn't realize you were good at one thing." "Huh?" "You are good at rebuilding and Construction. You know, you are like a Pony that wants to rebuild an old building and Construct new places. That's your talent. Construction." Applebloom then remembered all the time she build. She then realized, Nyx was right. She is talented at Construction. Suddenly they saw Diamond running at her. "YOU'RE DEAD!" She shouted. "Oh no." Nyx was stunned in fear She then closed her eyes. Silver Spoon went to go get Cheerliee. Diamond tiara was running towards Nyx and she was going fast. as she reached her hoof went in the air. Suddenly something appeared and grabbed Nyx out of the way. The others looked and they were speachless. Standing by Nyx was a Dragon, the size of Twilight. Nyx opened her eyes and saw the Dragon, who was looking at her. "You okay?" it asked. "y...yes." Cheerlie came out and saw the Dragon. She was speachless. "It's... A SPACE DRAGON?" she said in shock. "Indeed i am, I just saved Nyx from the one with the tiara. She was about to beat her up." it said. Cheerliee then looked at Diamond. "Diamond how dare you. Are you trying to get yourself expelled? your father told me that if you did this, Twilight will press Juvenile Charges against you. come inside diamond, your in detention now." said Cheerliee Diamond looked down and walked inside. The Space Dragon looked at Nyx."so your Nyx. Am i right?" it asked. "Yes i am. What's your name?" "I don't have a name. I gone by a title. But I don't have a name." "Well why don't you hang with me." "If you're okay with it" After school Twilight was seen walking towards the school house with Applejack. they were discussing about the sighting of the Space Dragon. Applejack was shocked that one was on earth long time ago and didn't even remember about it. They then approached the school house and Nyx came out. she saw her mom. "Hey mom." said Nyx "Hey Nyx, why are you happy?" "I met a new friend." "that's great. who?" Nyx then gave a whistle and the Space Dragon came to view. Twilight and Applejacks eyes went wide. Nyx made friends with a Space Dragon. "A Space Dragon?" said Twilight at a lost for words. It was a real Space Dragon. She knew that Space Dragons size are mostly the size of ponies. The Space Dragon she was staring at, was the size of herself. "That is what I am. I've finally met Nyx, after reciving visions of her. Nice to meet you." Twilight more shocked the Space Dragon's a female. "Whats your name?" "I....have no Name. I had a protocol name, but I no longer go by it since I left my race to live on a peaceful planet with friendly life." Nyx then purched up. "Well how about I call you Tex? besides you said you wanted to live with me." The name Tex made Twilight gasp. "Tex? But that's the name of the most feared Freelancer agent in the galaxy." "Tex...hm i kinda like that name, it makes me sound, awesome." Said Tex "Mom, do you think Tex can live with us? She told me via telepathy, that she wants to live with a friend, which turns out to be me." Twilight then thought for a moment. She remembered seeing Nyx lonely and sad after Peewee left. She remembered that Fluttershy offered a pet, but she denied. She knew this was a tough decision. Knowing that if she said know, she would break Nyx's heart. She then realize that This is the friend Nyx was looking for. Having another dragon would make Nyx happy. "Sure Nyx." This made Nyx happy, even Tex was happy. Nyx then started to walk home with Twilight and Tex followed. Nyx was really happy. As they came by the Library they met Fluttershy. "Hi Fluttershy." greeted Twilight "Hey Twilight. *Gasp* Is that a Space Dragon." Fluttershy said "Yes. meet Nyx's new friend and pet, Tex." Tex then walked up to Fluttershy and saw she was kinda scared. "Hey don't be scared, we Space Dragons are friendly. i mean no harm." Fluttershy then looked at Tex. Fluttershy wasn't afraid anymore. Tex reminded her of Spike. But Tex was black, had scales that shined, and Friendly. "Oh. S...sorry, I didn't realize that you were friendly." "So Fluttershy, what brings you here?" "Well i was going to try to convince Nyx to have a pet, but she now has a friend and a pet. But I need to get going, I don't want to make Angel mad." With that, Fluttershy went on her way and the three went to the library. As they headed towards the Library, Twilight remembered hearing that Nightmare Moons castle was going to be changed and become hers and also become the new library. As they walked in, Lunar greeted Twilight and Nyx. Spike also greeted them. They then both notice the dragon. Twilight then explained the whole thing to them and they agreed that Tex should live here because it'll make Nyx feel happy again. Tex even got along with Spike. Rainbow Dash even stopped by to see Nyx as usual. Twilight even told Rainbow about Tex. Rainbow was excited that her Goddaughter finally got a friend. Tex even got along with Rainbow. To her Rainbow was exactly like her, being Awesome, cool and being loyal. The evening came and Rainbow went home, she told Tex that when Nyxs wants to come to her house, she is more then welcome to come with her. Spike cooked up a meal for themselves and gave Tex a side of Gems as a welcome gift. After dinner, Nyx went to brush her teeth and decided to finish her book where she left off. Tex even followed Nyx to her room. As Nyx was reading, Lunar and Twilight were talking downstairs. They both decided it was best for Nyx to have Tex as a Replacement friend because of what Tex told them. It was now Nyxs bedtime and Twilight came up and told Nyx. Nyx offered Tex her bed, but Tex Created a bed of her own, by using the magic Space Dragons have. Twilight knew that the magic Space Dragons have is a unique type of magic. after they got prepare for bed. Nyx fell asleep along with Tex. They were hoping their friendship will be the best there is. Twilight needed to write to Celestia about this. Celestia has to know about Nyxs new friend. But Twilight decided to wait until tomorrow. Twilight was now relieved that Nyx has a friend. She is hoping that Nyx will be happy.
