A.N. Another story in my My Little Pony fanfic series! Now the new pony in this story has an Italian accent, so I misspelled some of his words on purpose to try to reflect the accent. If you become confused by a word try sounding out the sentence it's in. He'll also say Italian words, but not very often.
A long time ago, on a planet named Bronco, there was a scientist named Car-Eq. He was busy working on a rocket, for his planet was in grave danger. A civil war had broken out, harming the fragile core of the planet and causing it to crumble around the Bronconians. He and his wife, Lacey, worked together to finish the rocket in time, but it became too late.
"Our planet is collapsing upon itself!" Lacey wailed.
"But the rocket isn't finished! It still needs two more seats!" Car-Eq replied, both disappointed and dismayed.
"We don't have time to add the seats, we'll have to decide who stays and who leaves." Lacey sobbed into Car-Eq's chest.
"If only one of us can survive, then it must be our son Tor-Eq." Car-Eq decided.
"Yes, if no one else then Tor-Eq must leave us and lead a new life on another planet." Lacey agreed sadly.
"I have already found another planet that would make a good home for Tor-Eq: Earth." Car-Eq said as he placed his son into the rocket. "There our son shall grow and lead a good life."
The rocket, with it's infant passenger, zoomed towards Earth just as Bronco imploded, killing Car-Eq, Lacey, and all the other Bronconians in the process.
Eventually the rocket crashed to earth near a farm, where an old couple discovered it and Tor-Eq. They decided to raise the infant as their own son, naming him Mark Trent, for Trent was their last name.
Mark Trent grew to be a kind, helpful, caring pony much like other nearby farm ponies. But he knew for a long time that he was no ordinary farm pony, he had superpowers. He was faster than a train, more powerful than a plow-horse, and able to leap tall mountains in a single bound. When he was old enough he decided to use his powers to fight crime, and so moved to the city. There he worked as a reporter so he could hear about a crime first thing. Once he heard of a crime or saw a crime taking place he would go into action...as Superpony!
"Hey Super-Poky!" A cruel voice suddenly jeered.
Startled, a handsome white male unicorn with black hair looked up from his Superpony comic. He was wearing a red mask and a red cape that covered most of his body. One could see that he was trying to enjoy an afternoon in the park reading a comic, for he was lying under a tree and there were more trees near him.
"Aw geez..." He frowned; so much for a quiet afternoon of reading.
"Hey look at Super-Poky over there!" The cruel voice, belonging to a snobby purple unicorn with blue hair, said to his friends. "He's slower than a growing blade of grass, more lame than an Archer comic, and able to drive away elite ponies in a single sentence!"
His friends, an orange earth pony with red hair and a green unicorn with yellow hair, laughed in agreement.
The white unicorn decided to look for another place to read his comic. Besides, he was getting hungry. He used magic to pack his comic in his satchel and started to walk away. But the three bullies were relentless, they followed him continuing to make fun of him. The white unicorn tried to ignore them, but he couldn't help but hang his head in sadness. This caused him to bump into a much larger pony.
"Oh, I'm really sorry..." The white unicorn looked up and froze: the larger pony was Princess Celestia!
The white unicorn at first was nervous, because Celestia looked very displeased. Then he realized that she wasn't frowning at him, she was frowning at the bullies behind him.
"You leave this young stallion alone! That's a direct order!" Celestia said to the bullies strictly.
The bullies, frightened, disappeared.
"Are you all right young stallion?" Celestia smiled to the white unicorn.
"Yeah, I'm fine, I'm used to dat." The white unicorn smiled. "Tank you your 'ighness." He bowed.
"Oh forget the formalities...and the bowing." Celestia smiled. "Just call me Princess Celestia."
"Yes, of course."
"So, you have been teased by other ponies for a long time now?"
"Ever since I was a little colt." The white unicorn sighed. "I don't 'ave a single friend outside de family."
"Well, you do now." Celestia smiled. "But even so you deserve more friends, I can tell."
The white unicorn looked at her with surprise. His whole life he thought he was a worthless pony and here was the ruler of Equestria herself not only offering to be her friend but also stating that he deserved more friends!
"However, I can tell that you are not going to make any more friends here." Celestia realized. "Well, except for maybe my sister, but even so that is not enough. I recommend a change of location, perhaps moving to Ponyville?"
"I-I would like dat." The white unicorn smiled. "I 'ave been wanting to visit oder places."
"Very well, I'll let my faithful student Twilight Sparkle know that you'll be arriving shortly so that she can welcome you into town." Celestia smiled. "Oh, forgive me, I forgot to ask your name."
"It's Panelo Princess Celestia." The white unicorn smiled. "I come from Cavallin, one of de farder communities of Canterlot. It's an Italian community actually."
"Ah, Cavallin." Princess Celestia smiled. "I don't visit that community often but I always enjoy the food whenever I do. Well, you go off and pack now, I must write to Twilight Sparkle about your arrival. Meet me in front of the palace when you are done."
"I will Princess Celestia, and tank you so much!" Panelo smiled joyfully as he rushed for home.
Princess Celestia watched him leave before heading back to the palace.
"The young stallion has strong powers, especially in his heart." She smiled to herself. "I believe he will make a great friend for Twilight and her friends."
She got busy writing a message to Twilight...
