To all my followers, I know what some are you are thinking. "Shadow, what's the deal with starting ANOTHER Fanfic when you still have 3 active ones you are working on?" Well, I'm not sure how to tell you this, but this is an idea I've had a few times over the past week. I just want to throw a chapter out there and see if this fanfic will pick up. This is another HiE, but the ponies are anthro.

This is also my first FIMfiction fanfic, so….. Yeah.

-Chapter 1-

"John are you ready yet, we've got to get packing today, we move to our new home tomorrow!" A woman called through a closed door.

"Yeah, yeah, I'm getting packed mom." Came a very quiet, sarcastically toned reply.

"Well hurry along then, you don't want to forget anything. And remember that you can have your friends say good-bye at the airport." There came no reply from the other side of the door. John's mother just sighed and shook her head, before leaving to finish up her packing.

John looked at his door, then back at his computer screen. He had just gotten done dropping all of his classes at the college that he was now attending, and wasn't exactly thrilled at the sudden news that his mother had given him and his brother a while ago. He closed his eyes, and sighed as he remembered that moment when he had been told that his mother, his brother, his dog and two cats, and he, would be moving away.

The day had started out as any other Friday for John. He had just called his friends over to play his copy of Halo 4, and a few other games. They had been in the middle of a Flood match when his mother walked into the room.

"John," She said. "I just need to tell you this, I know that you probably won't like this, but we're moving in two months." John stopped his character and looked at his mother.

"What, why?" He asked in disbelief. He had been getting into the swing of college, and had been there for close to a month, and now this had happened.

"It would appear that my boss has decided to transfer me to another restaurant in Denver, Colorado." John's mother replied.

John blinked. "Why would your boss want to transfer you to another restaurant for? You work in Fast-Food, not some Major Company like Microsoft!" He exclaimed angrily. "And what about Jacob and me? He's in High School, and I'm not even sure if you'd be able to get me in another college, I was barely able to get in for Fall Semester here." He finished, pointing out obvious reasons to stay.

His mother nodded. "My work has already gotten that sorted out," She said. "You'll be attending a local community college there in the city, and Jacob will be attending one of the local high schools."

"Oh joy…" John mumbled sarcastically, turning his attention to the TV screen and resuming playing the game.

His mother glared at the back of his head. "Don't you dare use that tone of voice with me," She said, raising her voice. "There's nothing that you can do, your grandparents have already decided that we are to leave as soon as we can." She finished, before leaving the room.

Erik, Andy, and Bao looked at John. "So," Erik started. "I guess this is good-bye."

John nodded sadly. "We all leave home sooner or later." He said darkly. Bao spoke up next.

"It won't be the same without you here, who will I have to hang out with on an almost weekly basis?" John turned his attention to Erik and Andy, who casually whistled and turned their heads.

"I'm sure you three can come up with something." John smirked before chuckling. The four than turned their attention to the TV in front of them.

That had been 2 months ago, and John wondered how he would be able to cope in a new environment, where he had no idea where anything was, and a change in seasons. But he shook the thoughts out of his head and tried his best to think positive, but sadly though, that wasn't much. He was shook out of his thoughts when he saw some familiar faces in the crowd. "Guys!" He yelled, as his friends came over to him. "What are you doing here?"

Erik chuckled. "Here to see you off, and you have some last words to say, so smile to the camera."

John chuckled, and looked at the camera on a tripod. "Well," He began. "I would like to say, Thank you everyone, for all the kindness and friendship that I have received while I was here in California, and now I'm sorry to say, I have to leave sunny Cali for the heat and rocks of Colorado," He then looked at his friends. "I say we get a picture, since I have no time to do a proper roast. So group up you handsome devils." He laughed, as did his friends. Soon all of them had bundled up together. There were more than just Erik, Bao, and Andy. John had also called over a few more of his friends, and he had known them for a long time. The picture was then taken, and the group had said their good-byes. As soon as they couldn't see him, John shed a few tears. "I'll miss those guys dammit." He said, wiping the tears from his eyes, before finishing up airport security checks and joining his mother and brother in the line for their plane.

"Good Evening, this is ABC News at 5:00. Our top story today, a Southwest Airline jet blew up on the way to Denver Colorado, officials have no idea on why this happened or what caused this, we will keep you updated as we find out more about this event."
