Let me tell you how you measure a pony, when their world falls around them see not how many times they fall but how many times they rise again.

A young filly ran as fast as her hooves would alow her to, she clenched the bag of food with her teeth but no mater how fast she tried the sound of hooves behind her grew closer

her only hope was the vast ally ways of Clouds dale. "HERE" thought she ran down the alley's a left,right,right,left,left,straight for two more and finnaly a right ,she hoped down behind a trash can and listened to hear if the shop owner she stole the bag of muffins from was still on her trail... nothing but the sound of rain and was that crying?

Taking a chance she peeked around the corner of the cans and saw another filly down the ally,the shop owner was most likely to have given up and went back to his bakery and so deciding that it was safe the young mare walked down the ally as she got closer the she noticed the other filly was grey with yellow hair "hay whats wrong?" as soon as the words left her mouth the filly spun around she saw the filly had wall eyes, I...i was asking what was wrong. the filly's her eyes

began to water once more "sniff" ma...mama left me!"and she was back to crying again.

She didn't know much about comforting other mares but she knew this mare needed a hug.

the other mare accepted the hug, "whats your name?" "Derpy Hooves. whats yours?"

"Rainbow Dash. here you look hungry want a muffin?" Derpy's eyes brightened instantly "I like muffins." Derpy eagerly took a muffin from the bag. as she was eating it she noticed some thing about dash she has not before "gasp" Rainbow you only have one wing! Rainbow became vary stiff "ya I only one wing."
