Okay now I was just plain confused. How did I end up back in my hiding hole by the lake? Was all that just a dream? I was too stunned to do anything. I just sat there, looking up at the moon. I didn't have a family did I? I was still just a wolf on the run. A loner. I climbed out of my hole, and tried to get a sense of direction, but it was too dark to see a thing. The only light was the moonlight from the large, full moon. I suddenly felt better. I couldn't figure out why I was so happy, until I remembered. It was only supposed to be a half moon! (Wolves rely on the moon to tell time, so That is why Shasta realizes this.) I must have been dreaming. I started walking around, feeling much safer now that I knew it was only a dream. I came upon a stream and stopped for a drink. When I looked up, a terrifying sight met my eyes. Two amber yellow eyes stared at me with hate. Oh come on! I can't even avoid Taka in my dreams!? He lunged and thats the last thing I saw.
I woke up panting. It took me a second to remember where I was. I was in fluttershy's house in ponyville. The sun was just on the rise, so I decided to go out for some fresh air. As soon as I opened the door, I was hit with a blanket of heat (metaphorically). It was Hot! I looked around in the humid morning air, as sunlight crept across the yard. I was going to need a way to beat the heat of the day. I spotted a small pond at the edge of the yard. It was easily big enough for me, but how fair was that? Before I knew it, I was digging. I dug a deeper, wider hole. By the time the sun had risen fully above the horizon, I had a hole about a quarter the size of the entire yard! The problem was, there was very little water. As i pondered how to fill the hole, I heard the door open behind me. I turned to see Angel bunny, who also seemed stunned by the heat. I had a great idea! I went over to Angel and said,
"Hey angel, um would you mind... could you go get a few weather pegasi to bring some rain clouds over here? I can't do it. They would freak out if a wolf came up and talked to them."
Angel seemed to ponder this, and finally agreed. I got the feeling, however, that he didn't do it for me, but more for the fact that he was burning up in this heat. I went inside and waited. In a few minutes, I saw angel come with two pegasi with rain clouds. They filled the hole, and flew off. I came out, and immediately jumped in. The coolness of the water was unlike anything I had ever felt before. I surfaced, to see Angel jump in with a tiny little splash. This was how you beat the heat. Fresh rain water in a freshly dug hole. Angel seemed to be a natural swimmer. He flipped over on his back, perfectly executing master swimming strokes. I felt myself blush. I had just got shown up by a bunny. I stayed to the side, as I have never been the best at swimming. I could cross a river if needed, but nothing like what the tiny little furry bunny was doing right now. I stared and laughed. He looked at me, and splashed me with water. I was about to splash him back, when the door squeaked open behind me.
I turned around to see a very surprised and confused Fluttershy. I hadn't even considered that it was her yard. I felt bad. I tore up half of her yard and turned it into a giant swimming pool. I opened my mouth to apologize, but got a mouthful of water as Fluttershy plunged into the water. We laughed for a while, another animal joining us every so often in the makeshift pool. After a bit, Fluttershy said,
"We should invite the others!"
I looked at her, skeptically.
"Others? Like who?"
She looked at me with excited eyes.
"My other friends! Oh you'll love them! they're the nicest, most kind-"
I interrupted,
"Like rainbow dash?"
She stopped, and said,
"Its okay. I'll make sure they know you're my friend."
I wasn't too sure, but I agreed, not wanting to hurt Fluttershy's feelings. I waited patiently in the house, pacing back and forth, thoughts racing through my mind. Will they like me? Will they attack me? What are they like? I decided I would find out for myself. I went outside and hid in a bush next to the swimming hole. A few minutes later, Fluttershy arrived with five other ponies. I noticed, to my dismay, that one of them was indeed rainbow dash. Other than her, there was a pink earth pony, who looked as if she were bouncing instead of walking, A purple unicorn who appeared to be... reading a book? An orange earth pony wearing a dark tan cowboy hat, and a white unicorn wearing a scarf? In like 100 degrees weather? She must be crazy! I backed up further into the bush where no one could see me, and listened. Ponies were laughing, discussing many different topics. Then I heard Rainbow Dash speak up.
"So this 'friend' of yours, Fluttershy, Is it the same one who tried to kill me yesterday?"
A multitude of voices said things like, What? Who would do that? How did that happen? I started to lean in closer to hear what they were saying, and then, twip! I fell through the branches of the bush out into the open. Six pairs of eyes met my gaze, five of them utterly terrified. "Uhh... Hi?" I said stupidly.
i love it and i will not kill you

I recently made a blog post, but no one cares so here is what it said
The fact that wolves use the moon to tell time should be in the Author's notes section, rather than in the story.
