Chapter 1: The Word

Author's Note:

My OC is introduced in this chapter under the name X. He's not very talkative with other ponies, but he gets along with Flutters pretty well.

As the citizens of Ponyville know, Fluttershy is one of the kindest ponies they have met. But they weren't aware that she could be taking daily strolls across town listening to whatever is new.

She decided to chat with a pony she knew: X.

"Hi."

"Oh hi Fluttershy!" X was a crimson pony with a very big understanding of this Pegasus. He won't talk with anypony else but her.

"How are you?"

"Pretty swell, if I do say so myself," X replied. "Hey, I have something to tell you."

"Huh?" Fluttershy was very curious about what he has to say.

"I overheard somepony saying they heard a loud, um, explosion or something. Claims they saw an island plummeting right from the sky. Nowhere even near Cloudsdale. Also says there were, I think two ponies that seem to be unicorns or something." X was talking about an island somepony claimed to see falling down from the sky.

"Oh, my." Fluttershy was eager to know what X was getting into.

"Well, I decided to go investigate or something, but I didn't want to do it unless you wanted to. What do you say?" He seemed eager to go see.

"Um, actually, I think I would go myself, if that's okay." Fluttershy was trying to be as kind as she can.

X was disappointed not going to see, but he was okay with it. "Oh, no, that's fine. I will go see what is going on later."

"Where did it land, anyway?"

"I think it landed near the Everfree Forest or somewhere around there." X was trying to figure it out.

"Okay, I'll go see." Flutters went to the Everfree Forest, unlikely to know who the two ponies were.
