"Where is he? The mark means he's here. My parents wouldn't have lied to me. Would they?"

Rainbow Dash remembers her parents saying that a mark on the bottom of her right front hoof would appear, only when her sibling is in Ponyville. When Mahogany Cloud finds out that he has a sister, things go out of their way to make it trouble for everyone.

Just a forewarning: Do not be mad if this story is not as long as most, (Which it likely will be) This story is intended to introduce Mahogany Cloud, who will be in every story i write unless specified otherwise.

________________________________________________________________________________

Rainbow Dash lies in her bed staring at the cloud ceiling of her house, thinking one sole thing. "Did my parents lie? Do I really not have a sibling? I'm sure he or she has a mark on his or her hoof as well. Does anypony know where my sibling is?" She keeps asking herself these same questions over and over before drifting off into sleep.

Mahogany Cloud stands at the edge of Ponyville, near Sweet Apple Acres. He stares off towards Canterlot, "I've been there too long. Why would my parents put me in hiding? It's not like I'm a danger to anypony. But only I and a few other ponies even know I exi-"

"Howdy, pardner! What're you doin' out 'ere this late?" Applejack calls from the other side of the fence. Mahogany turns and stares at the orange earth pony's darkened coat from the late night.

"Oh. Hello there. I'm just resting before heading into Ponyville. It's been quite a long walk from Canterlot, if you ask me."

"You came from Canterlot? Tha's a fairly long walk fer a pegasus like you. Why didn't you fly?"

"I saw no reason to. Why fly when you can strengthen your legs? I'm sure you know what that feels like being an earth pony. Each kind of us ponies has their own special attributes. Pegasi can fly, Unicorns have magic, and you earth ponies are much stronger than any of us. Anyway. I mainly came to see if there's anyone I know in Ponyville or in the skies above." Mahogany takes a deep breath and thinks if there is anything else needed to be said. "I think thats about it. Im Mahogany Cloud. Whats your name?"

"'Ah'm Applejack. It's a pleasure to meet yah Mahogany."

"Eeeeyup!"

"Macintosh! Back to pulling that cart! We need to make the apple cider for tomorrah!"

Mahogany sighs, musters up as much courage as he can, and walks into Ponyville, looking up at the sky searching for the home of the pegasi.

Two Pegasi Meet

View Online

Mahogany flies up into the cloud city, and finds somewhere to sleep for the night, even if it is uncomfortable, and decides to ask around in the morning. When morning finally comes, Mahogany Cloud gets up and asks a few pegasi where Rainbow Dash lives, as Applejack had also told him she was the only stubborn pegasus she knew, and eventually comes upon her house after asking eight or so pegasi. When he knocks on the door he hears a semi-faint "Derpy go away!" come from inside. "I'm not this Derpy pony, whoever that is. I'm Mahogany Cloud and I want to talk to you."

Rainbow Dash was lying in her bed when Mahogany Cloud showed up. She slowly walked over, opened the door, and saw probably one of the strangest pegasi you could meet. His coat was a light lavender, though his wings were light gray, His cutie mark was a few clouds and his eyes were a startling green. His mane and tail were a similar color to Princess Luna's. When he stared at her she was caught in his gaze and saw his lips moving but did not hear anything. Shaking her head, she asked him, "What did you say?" Mahogany replied smoothly with "Do you have a mark with several clouds on it on the bottom of one of your hooves?

Mahogany had not expected his possible sister to be that stunning. Her rainbow colored mane and tail did everything but sweep him off his hooves. And her vibrant blue coat was the icing on the cake. When he saw her cutie mark, he sighed with relief as this pony was more than likely his sister. When Rainbow looked at her hoof and replied with a yes, Mahogany nodded faintly and said, "Hello, sister."

"Are you sure?"

"Of course I'm sure. If your friends come along with us things will be much easier. I heard one of your friends is a student of Princess Celestia."

"Well yeah, Twilight, but.... Oh fine I'll do it!" Rainbow says as she prepares to leave and get her friends. "But don't expect all of us to come along."

"Oh I wont, dear sister."

When Rainbow came back leading all of her friends except Rarity, (she said she didn't have time for such pathetic nonsense), Mahogany accepted that this might be interesting.

After a long discussion in which all the ponies and Spike came up with excuses to leave, Rainbow and Mahogany were left standing in Everfree Forest alone. Rainbow decided they could ask Zecora if she had any potions or whatnot they could have for the trip.

When Mahogany found himself staring at Zecora the zebra, he decided that it would more than likely me a long day indeed. Though he had never practiced it, he tried acting like the average semi-royal pony, but failed miserably. After leaving empty-hoofed, Rainbow and Mahogany decided they should go into Ponyville for supplies. "Here, have some bits for supplies." Rainbow said handing him a bag of bits.

"Thank you Rainbow."

Near Sugarcube Corner

"Oh thank you, here are your muffins dear."

"MUUUUUUUFFFFIIIIIIIINS!"

"Ack!" Mahogany yells as Derpy Hooves lands on him attempting to steal his muffins. "Get off you silly pegasus!"

"MUUUUUUUFFFFII- Wait, are you a new pony?" Derpy replies as Mahogany scrambles to a standing position. "Yes, I am, but I really don't need muffin-crazed pegasi trying to steal my supplies!" Mahogany says as he repeatedly kicks the basket of muffins away from Derpy.

"But me want zeh muffins." Derpy sadly mutters as her eyes cross even more.

"Eh... Mrs. Cake? Is that normal?"

"Oh she's always like that. Nopony knows why!"

Mahogany Cloud sighs and exits the store, slowly walking towards Sugarcube Corner.

"Hihihihihihihihi! Are you a new pony?" Mahogany hears, but cannot locate the voice until he sees a pink pony walking down a wall. "You just broke around four laws of physics."

"What are physics? Anyway... NEW PONY! ITS TIME TO PAAAARRRTTYYYY!!!!!!!!!"

"New pony?" "A new pony in town?" "Hey look everypony! theres a new one in town!"
