Prologue – Blue Shadow's Intro

~ Flash Back ~

A young colt sat out on his balcony on a warm summer day in Canterlot. The colt sighed and watched the other fillies and colts play on the sidewalks. His shadow shards blew in the wind as he stood.

"Blue Shadow? Could you come here?" A mare called.

"Coming mother." The colt replied. He walked inside; his wings twitching slightly from the temperature change. "You called?"

"Yes, I need you to start loading the moving cart please dear, your father is going to be home a little later than expected.

Blue Shadow sighed. "Yes mother..." He said sadly; he always had to start doing something that his family as a whole was going to do together. He picked up some boxes and walked out to the moving cart.

A young mare stood next to the moving cart; she was supposed to me pulling it with another pony, but he went on an errand so she stayed. "What's wrong little pony? Aren't you glad to be moving? It's a new adventure, new friends, and new chances to get a cutie mark."

"Yeah...not really..."

"Huh? Why?"

"It's just gonna be the same: my father working late, and my mother making me do things that we were supposed to do as a family, just like now..."

"Aw. I'm sorry kiddo." She said ruffling his mane. "It'll get better."

"Thanks..." Shadow said with a shy smile.

The mare giggled. "It's no trouble."

Blue Shadow was about to go back inside to get more boxes when he saw a young purple unicorn walked down the street; her nose deep in a book. "Doesn't she know that it's dangerous to read and walk?" He asked himself. He watched her for a minute and saw that she bumped into someone. "Uh oh..." He thought.

The purple filly looked up at the young stallion she hand bumped into and then smiled and seemed to dance around him; both of them smiling.

Blue Shadow sighed and turned away; walking back inside for more boxes soon after. "I wish I had a big sibling..." He thought as he strong shouldered more boxes to the moving cart.

~ Time Skip ~

Blue finished getting all of the boxes in the cart; his mother didn't lift a hoof, and his father hadn't come home yet.

"Blue?"

"Yes mother?"

"Do you see your father yet?"

"Nope..." He said; sulking next to the moving cart.

"Ma'am?"

"Yes?"

"Aren't you gonna do something fun with your son till your husband gets home?"

"I have arrangements to make. Sorry Blue..." The mother mare said looking at her son. "Maybe some other time." She finished.

Blue sighed.

The mother mare went back inside and shut the door behind her.

"Hey, Blue Shadow right?"

"Yeah. I never got your name."

"Oh that's easy, I'm Kite Tales."

The colt smiled a little.

"Did you wanna have some fun while you're waiting for your dad?"

"Sure." The colt said; his face seeming to instantly light up.

Kite Tales smiled. "So what did you wanna do?"

"I was hoping you had an idea."

The moving mare thought for a moment.

Blue waited.

"I got it!"

The colt looked at her.

"Why don't we play cloud bump."

"What's that?"

"We make a cloud ball and bump it between our heads and pass it to one another. Doesn't that sound fun?"

"It does! Let's do it!"

The two pegusi flew up to the clouds and played cloud bump for what seemed like a couple hours till they saw a blue coated unicorn trotting to the house below them.

"Is that your dad?"

"Yup..."

"Not bad..."

"Huh?!"

The two landed.

"It's nothin really..."

"Okay."

"Ya know somethin?"

"What?"

"I'm gonna quit my moving job and ask if I can be your foal sitter."

"Really?!"

"Yup, that'll be fun huh?"

"You bet!" Blue Shadow said as he hugged the mare.

Kite Tales giggled. "Alright alright, le'me get hooked up"

"Okay."

Blue Shadow's parents walked out and shut the door.

"Well this is it. Moving day son." The stallion said.

The second mover hooked himself up and waited.

"Are you ready?" The mare asked her son.

"Sure..." He said before climbing into the cab part of the cart.

"Good boy." She said as she climbed in with him.

"We're all set, you can get going." The stallion said before climbing into the cab with his wife and son.

Kite Tales nodded and she and her partner started trotting away.

Blue Shadow looked out the window and spotted the same purple filly from before.

The filly met his gaze and waved a little with a shy smile.

He waved back, but no smile formed on his muzzle.

The unicorn looked confused as she watched the moving cart disappear.

~ End of Flash Back ~

"Shadow!" A mare's voice called.

The young stallion groaned sleepily.

"Blue Shadow! Yoo-hoo!" The voice called again.

The young stallion sat up a little; his mane a complete mess. "What?"

"Wakey wakey sleepy-head!" The cheerful voice said.

"I'm up...I'm up..." Shadow said as he got out of bed.

There was a knock on his door.

"Yes?" Shadow said with a groggy tone from just waking up.

Kite Tales poked her head in. "Hey there." She said.

"Hey. W-what're you doing here? I thought you were foal sitting for others now?"

"Well I am, but I have a day off today."

"Oh nice. So what brings you to my place?"

"Well...I came to say hey, cause you're my friend...my best friend actually."

"Oh okay."

Kite Tales giggled. "Did you just get up or somethin?"

"Yeah..."

"Did you want me to brush your mane for you like old times?"

Blue Shadow let a low chuckle escape from his throat. "If you want to, I really don't care."

"Okay." The mare said before walking over to him and grabbing his hair brush. "Sit." She instructed.

Blue sat in front of her while she brushed his mane.

"You got big fast..." She said.

"Yeah...I know."

"So you're almost 18 right?"

"Right."

The mare giggled a little. "You have a special somepony yet?"

"Nope."

"But you know a couple mares right?"

"Well yeah...I do. In fact, one woke me up."

Kite Tales laughed. "Well then I wouldn't wanna keep you from your friends." She said putting his hair brush on his dresser.

The two walked outside.

"I'll see ya around then Shadow."

"Yeah. See ya."

Kite Tales trotted away; leaving a yawning young Pegasus on his front doorstep.

A bubbly pink earth pony hopped over to him. "Hey Blue! Guess what!"

"What is it Pinkie?"

"I'm having a welcome party for a new mare in town, but don't tell her; it's supposed to be a surprise party okay?"

"Okay. Who's this party for."

"She said her name was Twilight Sparkle!"

"Okay. Where is this party?"

"At the library."

Blue looked a little confused. "Any reason why it's at the library?"

"That's where she's staying!"

"Oh okay."

"See you tonight at 7:30 okay?"

"Okay."

Pinkie waved good-bye to her friend hopped away.

Blue smiled and walked to the square; not even having a thought as to what he was going to do. He stopped when he spotted a purple unicorn with a baby dragon on her back. "No way! I recognize her from the day I move from Canterlot!" He thought.

The mare walked up to him. "Hello, my name is Twilight Spar-" She said before stopping; her eyes widen when she gasped.

"What? Is there something on my face?"

"N-no...I...I recognize you from somewhere..."

"I was just gonna say the same thing..."

"Were you that colt that moved away from Canterlot some time ago?"

"Yeah. Where you that filly I saw standing on the sidewalk as I left?"

"Yeah. I'm Twilight Sparkle, and you are?"

"Blue Shadow."

The unicorn looked at a list. "His name is on here...as part of the flight show! He's a Wonderbolt?!"

"Is there a problem Twilight?"

"No. I was just making sure that you were or weren't on my list for the Summer Sun Celebration."

"Ah okay."

"You're part of the flight team right?"
"The Wonderbolts yeah."

"Oh wow nice. Your parents must be proud huh?"

"Oh yeah you bet! What about you?"

"What do you mean?"

"What have you been up to?"

"Not much, I'm a pupil of Princess Celestia though."

"Oh great. So what're you up to?"

"I was put in charge of organizing the preparations for the Summer Sun Celebration by Celestia herself."

"Oh cool."

The two started walking together.

"So who's your little friend here?"

"Oh this is my assistant Spike. Spike this is my friend Blue Shadow."

The dragon waved. "Hi there."

Shadow smiled.

The two walked to a bridge.

"There should be a Pegasus named Rainbow Dash around here somewhere clearing the sky."

Blue looked around.

Just then there was a strong wind from a speeding Pegasus.

The mare that was just speeding landed on the cloud she was recently laying on. "You lookin for me?"

"Yes, my name is Twilight Sparkle, I'm here to supervise the preparations for the Summer Sun Celebration, and I understand that you're in charge of the weather?"

"Yeah, but I was practicing for the Wonderbolts so I put off for a bit."

"I'm pretty sure the Wonderbolts wouldn't want a Pegasus who couldn't keep the sky clear for one measly day."

"Hey! I can clear the sky in ten seconds flat."

"Prove it."

The rainbow-manned mare darted into the sky, kicking away every cloud in sight.

"Smart..." Blue whispered to Twilight.

"I know." She whispered back.

Rainbow Dash landed on the bridge. "See I told you: ten...seconds...flat. I wouldn't leave Ponyville hangin." She said.

Blue smiled a little. "That was actually 9 ½ seconds."

Dash looked at the Pegasus. "Seriously?!"

"Yup."

"Huh...cool. So..." She started as she walked up to the stallion. "What's your name? You already know mine..." Rainbow said rather seductively.

"I'm Blue Shadow...Ms. Dash." He said flirtatiously.

Twilight looked from Shadow to Rainbow in slight confusion. "Are they flirting with each other?! I saw him first!" She thought in slight jealousy.

"Did you wanna go get a shake at Sugar Cube Corner?"

"Sure."

"I'll let you lead the way then." The cyan mare said.

"Alright then. Right this way." The cobalt stallion said.

The two started to walk toward Sugar Cube Corner when Shadow turned around. "I'll see ya later?"

"S-sure." Twilight said with a small blush. The unicorn then hurried on her scheduled route for the preparations. "What am I going to do?! If I like him, and Rainbow Dash likes him, even when I saw him first; I'm can't help but feel a little intimidated by her..." Twilight thought before snapping back from her thoughts by Spike.

"Hello?! Earth to Twilight?"

"Huh?"

"The check list?"

"Oh yeah, yeah...I know. Sorry Spike." She said as she made her way to her next checking point.
