Introduction

Equestria the land I love, a land of harmony...

THIRTY-FIVE YEARS LATER

... chaos was starting to bloom in Equestria, the magical land started to fall under a twisted concept of equality, under chaos and disharmony between ponies, the three princesses started to protect each of the cities across the land to face what was about to come soon, Equestria started to fall and the princesses of the wide wide world, Princess Celestia, Luna and Cadance did all they could to make sure each of their regions were safe. Princess Celestia was in charge of protecting Canterlot Region, which includes obviously the capital city Canterlot, together with the town Ponyville, the cities: Cloudsdale, Las Pegasus, Baltimare, Vanhoover and Trottingham. The Desert Region whose Princess in charge is Luna, this one including: Dodge City, Appleloosa, Somnambula, and the Rock Farm. The other region protected by Princess Cadance is Cristal Region, which includes The Cristal Empire, Mount Everhoof and Yakyakistan. The Cities Ponyhattan and Fillydelphia that were part of Canterlot City were invaded and corrupted by the Equalizers. It is said that Unknown West localized at Canterlot Region's West is full of Changelings and that their queen lives there with them. The tension rises even on the princesses who started to argue about nonsense stuff. And that's how Equestria started to fall, it wasn't safe getting out of the principal regions, it wasn't safe trusting everypony.

Prologue

First Thoughts of a Blank Flank

Well, if I'm going to tell you about most of the important stuff in my life - about how do I met so much ponies and learned to gain a place - I think I have to start by the boring stuff. Right? It starts with the first thoughts of a blank flank colt.

First, I thought being different than others was bad, I mean, it wasn't a good sensation feeling other ponies signaling how you are or the differences you have in between with them. I really don't get why did I felt so left out at that time, but could you blame me? I mean, I was a colt after all and I didn't even knew what I was supposed to do with my life at that time.

Meanwhile in my development and growth I start noticing that most of my pony friends start developing talents, and I was starting to get lost in the dust; however, that wasn't truth at all, I had always knew how to get good grades, such abilities that others would love to have in class, but that wasn't enough for me; I felt I should look deep down inside me, I wished I could have my own talent, a talent that would fill me up. Being outstanding could be the perfect gift for someponies, but for me, it wasn't too much of a gift or whatever; however I wasn't some kind of a bookworm or anything like that, I didn't even care, I did care most of helping others to have good grades that to have good grades myself; I didn't even care if I was discovered telling somepony the answers of a test, because it wasn't bad, or at least that has been my thinking for as far as I know. It wasn't like I wouldn't be able to recover if I did fail on a test because of cheating on somepony else the answers - but I still had the situation of not having a Cutie Mark and a true talent - my mark didn't appeared yet, but I did knew for sure that it simply wouldn't have any relation on my outstanding at school, and that was the realization that would make me feel better at the moment. I wished for a talent that would bring me to entertain others, a talent that would let me evoke happiness, entertainment and bring to those ponies an anti stress moment that wouldn't let them think of those problems they might have and just go with the flow of the moment, but my flank was still as blank as a cloud and my day couldn't get wetter of the rain the cloud throw on me because I didn't have an idea how I was supposed to develop a talent like the one I was looking for, I didn't knew a thing of entertainment.

Would you believe me if I say that I once thought I would be a math teacher? Well yeah, he he, it looks like besides from other ponies in my class (and generalizing all ponies at my age) mathematics were way too entertaining for me; not mentioning that I blast with 'em! (not having the purpose to gloat or anything) the thing is, I thought I would end teaching them at ponies. Now I see I was nuts and that I had a great lack of thinking at that time (not that I don't appreciate teachers or anything) but the idea of having lots of hyperactive ponies bouncing around a classroom while I try to make them understand what I'm teaching make my head go crazy!

Not that I don't like foals, I love them! Playing with them is so much fun, but playing does not compares with teaching, they are just two different things, like really. It also ain't that I don't know to explain something 'till I make it understandable, because I did had to explain to much of my classponymates what it was given in math, I remember when my math teacher sometimes had to send me in front of the class so that I can explain what he was; at a level that my classponymates would understand, I was able to find the way students of my age understand such difficult information on their little pony minds so they could know how to solve the math problems - not that they were the hardest things to learn - but they may it seem like it was, because of their expressions; however, I honestly think I could have done a great teacher, but it's not like teaching for the rest of your life sounds like the most fun thing in the world, does it? However, I neither want to be hated by students the rest of my life, because no matter if you are the greatest teacher ever, but you will still be hated by some students; maybe because of your attitude or simply because they don't understand a thing of what you're explaining.

Personally, I think that if you're gonna do something for the rest of your life, you should like it, don't you? It should be something you really love to do, so you can enjoy your job as it were a hobby or something, don't you think? I mean, it's what you'll be doing the rest of your life! It's really a great decision, and making it is kinda like a big deal. Could you imagine doing something for the rest of your life that you don't really like and something that you really don't enjoy doing. Nah! I Prefer doing something really fun, something that I feel like I belong to it, so I can be able to give all my effort (but being sure of not getting too caught up,'cause then you make addict to work and that's not good either) so I can be happy with what I do.

It's important to clearly analyze some of the decisions you do, 'cause some of them could be taken without thinking, which leaves you to make lots of mistakes; they make you stumble lots of times and you may think you would never learn to walk by your own, but that show you the path is never easy, but it's your choice to take the right one, so you do the right thing (if you decide to take one of the good paths) it also make you leave some things behind, do lots of sacrifices you would never thought you'll need to do; but that's how life works, with lots of obstacles and challenges to face, it's you who decide how you'll prepare to face them.

"Gosh! You'll just gonna scare them away if you keep talking shit like dignitaries"

"Ok, Ok, I'll just stop, I was just about to introduce myself thank you very much"

Ignore the shit out of him ok? well... yeah, like I was saying; I'm Flashing Apple, I have seventeen years old and how y'all be thinking, yeah! I'm a little hay block on the great stack that we Apples form; all of us splattered across all the extensive and wide world of Equestria. And what about the Flashing? Well, you see, it seems that my mother wanted to pass me a little of her name, just a quite unique tradition of the family to pass that "Flash" to one of the children of the family, just as my grandma Sassaflash did with my mother Duster Flash, and it goes back and back generations of ancestors with the "Flash" somewhere in their names. It's quite interesting how your name turn out someday with your Cutie Mark talent and design, don't you think? That "Flash" could really sound a little bombastic, tagging me as if I were a cocky pony behind lights and microphones just to show off, but it's not like it is; my life wasn't easy at all, being now on these kind of scenarios doesn't mean it was always like that, it seems that my voice has help me reach those as a great instrument it is, and its gratifying to see I couldbe able to entertain and bring that happiness to so much other ponies, that one I always wanted to share with them. Still, I never imagined the challenges that the world of entertaining could come with.

However, I'm very pleased to meet y'all. And here, I'm gonna tell you my story...
