The story starts off kinda slow, and this first chapter might have started off kind of quickly, may seem like I kind of sped through it, and may be kind of boring and uninformative, and it's really short, but just keep reading and go easy on me, it is my first story. I'll try not to make it to painful to read. Critics are welcome, and I appreciate reviews.
Ponyville was just the way it was all the time. Ponies were everywhere doing something whether it was doing everyday activities, chores, or just relaxing. Animals were doing what they usually do all the time.
A certain pink pony was just hopping around town as happy as ever. She was waving and saying hi to ever pony she walked by. Since she knew just about every pony in Ponyville, she noticed a pegasi pony just lying by a tree. She didn't know if he was from Ponyville or Cloudsdale. But being the nice pony she was, she went to say hi and introduce herself to him. He was a darkish gray pegasus pony, with red eyes, and three red, shaded in circles, in the form of a triangle, as a cutie mark. He had a clean, flowing black mane with that flew around as the wind blew. The same for his tail.
"Hi stranger" she said with a nice smile. "I've never seen you around before. My names a Pinkie Pie, what's yours?"
He turned an eye to her with a bit of an annoyed look.
"Don't bother me."He said. "What? I just want to know your name." Pinkie said, followed by a smile. He wanted her to go away, so he told her."Shadow Flash"he said with closed eyes. "Get lost."
"Geez, what's your problem Mr. GrumpyPants. He really started to get annoyed at the fact that she wouldn't leave. "My problem is you. Go AWAY.
Pinkie Pie never gave up on trying to make friend, especially when that donkey, Crankie Doodle, came to Ponyville.
But for some reason, the look in this guys face showed showed anger, and it frightened Pinkie a bit. She quickly regained herself. Unwilling to give up, she continued.
"Oh come on, whatever's got you so upset, I can help you turn that frown, upside DOWN!" This really set him off. "Look,whatever you're trying to do here, it ain't workin.
"I don't want to talk, especially to someone as annoying and persistent as you. So go AWAY."
He growled at her, with a scary look in his eyes. " I just wanna be friends." said Pinkie. He didn't feel guilty for yelling at her, but calmed down a bit. "Look, go make friends with someone else". Shadow turned his head back.
"I don't know why you're so grouchy."And you won't know." said Shadow.
He got up and started to walk away. Pinkie started hopping after him. "I know what'll make it better" she said. She opened her mouth and prepared to sing.
"No No NO, we are not having any of that." said Shadow covering his ears. "Oh come on my singing isn't that bad."
"It sounds like tortured kittens being shot out of a cannon." he said.
"Really!?" said Pinkie excitedly.
"Go away. I don't know how many times I have to say it."
"Okay I'll leave." she said, then popped out of the ground in front of him. "As soon as you accept my friend request."
"I said NO," replied Shadow with a snarl.
"C'mon, pleeeaase?" begged Pinkie while grabbing a hold of his back hoof.
"What's with you?" he asked a little creeped out. Just get away from me."
Whyyyyyyy? asked Pinkie. "For one, I barely know you."
"And two" he said while yanking his hoof from her,"you should stop acting so happy, it's embarrassing."
"But my friends like the way I act." she stated with a smile.
"Or maybe they just don't want to hurt your petty feelings." he replied harshly.
"My feelings aren't petty." she said while backing up a little. "I just wanna be your friend, everyone needs friends." "Yeah? Well I don't." Pinkie gasped long and loud. "You don't have friends!?" Pinkie asked. Shadow grunted. "Well your friendly neighborhood Pinkie Pie can fix that." she said while saluting. Shadow let out another angry growl, making Pinkie back up a bit.
"Why does it matter if you're missing one friend?"
Pinkie smiled at him, but not with her usual hyperactive smile. "Silly, you can never have too many friends. Shadow was taken back a bit when she said that. "I'm always making new friends.
"Why do you insist I be your friend?" he questioned. "Why not?" she answered. "Even if I did become your friend, how would I benefit from it?" he asked. "Well, my friendship of course." Shadow stared at her while pondering this.
He let out a confident "hmph" and flew away.
"So does this mean we're friends!?" she yelled after him. "That's one weird pony." she told herself. "I should tell Twilight. She'll probably give me some advice."
And with that, she ran off to the library.
Sorry about the sudden change of text, and a short first chapter. I'll try to make longer ones.
