This is the 24th chapter. Okay now before I could go for the 'Suited for Success' chapter, I'm adding a chapter and a human turned into a pony named Dante from Brooklyn, New York. He's an old friend of Elijah, AKA, Comet Stardust, lived with his cousin and his foster family. But it'll change his life when he finally get to meet his friend in Equestria. Also, he'll be under his care with Rainbow Dash!
There you go.
And over 10K?! Dude, that was a quick one and it's like selling hot cakes. Thanks for the support.
Anyway, I don't own the series of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.
New Yorkers Reunion
In the city of Brooklyn, New York, a young boy named Dante who was born in Queens, New York, was abandoned by his biological parents when he was a baby at Coney Islands and was founded by hie foster parents. He also lived with his cousin named Antoine and his gang up in the streets and a friend with Elijah. His foster parents took him to self-defense class to teach him martial arts called Judo, learning how to be street smart and fight in the streets by Antoine and his gang. Of course, at school, he saw Elijah getting picked on by kids around their age which he was able to defend himself, but Dante gives him a hand by beating up the bullies.
Both Dante and Elijah have been hanging out and done some together, playing basketball, listening to music which it was mostly hip hop, rap, jazz, and Native American, practice martial arts, and hanging out with Antoine and his gang.
They've been having a good time, but it reaches to an end when Elijah turned 6 and Alonzo and Giovanna told his parents about him becoming an Italian Mafia. It got into a heated argument when Elijah ran away from home, got involved into a crossfire, and shot through the heart and the liver and died.
It really devastated him, Antione and his gang, and Elijah's parents.
However, they met Elijah again in the dream realm thanks to Princess Luna which it really felt relieved and happy that he's in good hands in Equestria. Dante really wished he would see his friend again.
Unfortunately, he, Antione and his gang were on the run after the Italian Mafia have massacring his foster parents. Antione and his gang knew that the Italian Mafia were on edge, and they knew their reputation of being ruthless and unforgiving. They decided to head out in the streets to find a place to hide which they won't be able to stay forever. Dante is now sleeping at the abandoned building with Antoine and his gang, wishing for him to get out safely.
"I just wish there is a way to get my cuz' outta here." Antione said, worried about his safety. "I know someone who can help, but Dante needs a life elsewhere."
"I know, brother." Duane agrees. "Even with Eli in Equestria, wish Dante would be with him. And I hope someone who can raise him."
"How about somepony?" The voice of Princess Luna said as she arrived at the building which it got their attention.
"Princess Luna?" Marcus called her. "How'd you get here? Thought you'd be on dreamland!"
"I was when I heard that wish." Princess Luna explains. "I've heard that you wanted Dante would be with somepony."
Antione nods as he turns to his cousin, shook him a little.
"Dante, wake up, little man." Antione said when Dante groans. "Princess Luna's here."
Dante then rubbed his eyes and then turns to Princess Luna which it got him shocked.
"Princess Luna?! What are you doing here?" Dante asks.
"I came when somepony made a wish." Princess Luna answered. "And that wish was you to be with somepony to take care of you."
Dante knew what she means which he might get a chance to see Elijah, or in Equestria's case, Comet Stardust, again.
"I wouldn't go that far, but yeah." Antione said. "But let me ask you, how's Comet been?"
"Comet is holding up very well ever since I gave him a closure." Princess Luna answered with a smile. "He's right now turning 8 years old. And he's making new friends."
"Wow, that's cool." Dante said with a smile.
"Yeah buddy." Marcus agrees. "It's better than being a Mafia with those suckas."
"Which led me to a question, how come you're living here?" Princess Luna asks.
"We were on the run, man. These Mafias are after us since those two fools were in prison along with those suckas." Antione explains. "Dante's foster parents were killed in the crossfire and we have nothin' to do with them. After that, we've been on a run for a long while."
Princess Luna was shocked of hearing of Dante's foster parents died by the hands of Italian Mafia.
"And man, we know we couldn't run and hide forever." Duane adds. "But Princess Luna, we know it's too much to ask, but could you take Dante with you? Have him meet Comet again?"
Dante was surprised at that.
"You...want me to go with her?" Dante asked. "In Equestria?"
"We have connections on the streets, we're planning to head out for New Orleans, Louisiana." Antione told his cousin. "My parents lived there and they'll help us out get a job. But Dante, we want you to live the best life you ever had. And I hope you'll get to see Eli again."
Dante really didn't want to leave them, but his cousin and the gang already made up their minds since they've been on a run for a long while. He then gives them nod.
"And Dante?" Princess Luna called him, earned his attention. "When you arrive in Equestria, you shall be turned into a pony to fit in with the environment. And I know somepony who can take care of you in Ponyville."
"Okay." Dante said.
Antione then gives him the note so that way Comet will get the message. Dante gives his cousin and the gang one last goodbye, sighed and had tears in his eyes. Princess Luna then walked over towards him and pulled him in for a wing hug.
"It'll be okay." Princess Luna assures him. "They would want what's best for you. Let's get going."
And with that, Princess Luna then lit up her horn and the two disappeared. Antione and his gang then decided to run out of the building and made their way to the docks to find a ship to get to New Orleans.
My Little Pony, My Little Pony
Ahhhh
My Little Pony
I use to wonder what friendship could be
My Little Pony
Until you all share this magic with me
Big adventure,
Tons of fun,
A beautiful heart,
Faithful and strong,
Sharing kindness
It's an easy feat
And magic makes it all complete
You all have my little ponies
Do you know all you're my best friends?
The next morning, the portal opens when Princess Luna and Dante walks out and make it towards Cloudsdale. Like Winter Breeze, Dante has a new appearance of a Pegasus.
Dante has pale light grayish cerulean fur coat with pale light grayish olive mane and tail with moderate cerulean streaks, and moderate cerulean eyes.
"What is this place?" Dante asks. "I thought Eli...I mean Comet was in Ponyville."
"He is, but that's not why we're here." Princess Luna answered. "I'm here to find a certain somepony to take care of you."
"Who?" Dante asks.
"You'll see." Princess Luna said. "Come, we best head for a place for you to live."
Dante nods as he tried to follow her which he was having trouble when he tumbled down to the clouds. Princess Luna then turns to Dante.
"What the?" Dante grunts, tried to stand up. "Are those clouds supposed to poof into thin air? It's almost like I'm landing some kinda pillow or something."
"That's because you're a Pegasus." Princess Luna explains. "Pegasi were able to walk on the clouds and they can make the weather."
"What?! No way!" Dante exclaims in disbelief.
Princess Luna gives him a nod which it left him shocked.
"I know it's new and hard to understand, but I'll try to explain while we find a place for you to live." Princess Luna suggests. "But first, I'll start be teaching you how to walk."
Dante nods with an agreement as he tried to follow Princess Luna while she taught him how.
As soon as Princess Luna and Dante were heading to Rainbow Dash's place after given him an explanation about life in Equestria. He was surprised to know that the sun and the moon were moved through the sky by the two Princesses. And for the weather, it was controlled by the Pegasi that worked the weather division of Cloudsdale. She then knocked on the door three times as the door opens, revealed to be Rainbow Dash.
"Princess Luna! What are you doing here?" Rainbow Dash asks.
"I have somepony that needs to be taken cared." Princess Luna answered, motions to Dante. "His name is Dante. He's a friend of Elijah, which was Comet Stardust."
"Wait, he's a friend of Comet?" Rainbow Dash asked in confusion.
"That's right. You gotta problem with that, fool?" Dante asks with a glare.
"Whoa, easy there." Rainbow Dash said. "I've got no problems with you being friends with Comet."
Princess Luna couldn't help but chuckle with amusement, seeing that Dante has the fiery attitude which he did grew up in the streets in New York.
"But Comet didn't even mention about you." Rainbow Dash points out.
"He doesn't have to." Dante said. "Comet has been through a lot and doesn't like to talk about it. Even his own parents knew what was going on."
Rainbow Dash nods with an understanding which it does makes sense. She then turns to Princess Luna since she need some answers on why was Dante here, besides wanted to see Comet.
"But what I need to know is why's he here?" Rainbow Dash asks.
"Because I heard the emotions from the distant world, which it happens to be around in a state called 'New York'. Dante and his group were on the run, after the Italian Mafia killed his foster family." Princess Luna explains which it got Rainbow Dash shocked. "They've been on a run for years which it forced the little one dropped out of school and left. They ask of me to take him with me to Equestria and have him meet Comet."
Rainbow Dash felt sad for Dante after hearing her explanation, then turns to the little Pegasus.
"I'm sorry about what has happened to you." Rainbow Dash apologizes.
"Thanks, but I just hope Antione and the others made it to New Orleans." Dante said. "They have some connections in the streets and hoping they'll get out in the jam."
"And they will, Dante, have faith in them." Princess Luna assures him with a smile. "They want you to be safe and they wanted what's best for you."
Dante nods, but he's worried about his cousin since the Italian Mafia have been looking for them.
"And if it helps, I'll let you know if they made it to New Orleans or not." Princess Luna suggests.
"That will be great." Dante nods with a hopeful smile.
"In the meantime, Rainbow Dash?" Princess Luna called her. "Can I count on you to take care of Dante?"
"W-What?!" Rainbow Dash exclaims. "Why?"
"Because Dante has nowhere else to go and I can't take care him since I have a huge responsibility as a Princess." Princess Luna explains. "And your friends have the foals of their own to take care of."
"All except Rarity." Rainbow Dash points out. "But I have no idea how to take care of a colt. I don't even have siblings in my family."
"It's understandable, but Rainbow Dash, the reason why I choose you is because you're the Element of Loyalty." Princess Luna told her. "And right now, Dante needs somepony to take care of him."
Rainbow Dash knew that Princess Luna has a valid point since Dante has nowhere else to go because Antione and his gang have already made up their minds of leaving New York. Also, Dante's foster parents were killed in a crossfire by the Italian Mafia, and he has no parents which Rainbow Dash was wondering didn't they even take care of him. She'll ask about it later.
"You're right, but I'm gonna have to talk with Twilight and the others." Rainbow Dash suggests. "And while I'm at it, I'll let Comet know the reason why he's here."
"That will be best." Princess Luna agrees. "And Rainbow Dash? Take care of him."
"I will." Rainbow Dash accepts as Princess Luna teleported back to Canterlot to inform her sister. She then turns to Dante. "Well Dante, guess it's you and me. I'll show you around in Cloudsdale later, and train you how to fly, and walk like a pony while I'm at it. Right now, I'll take you to Ponyville so we'll Twilight and my friends know."
"And Comet will be there, too?" Dante asks hopefully.
"Uh, yeah, why?" Rainbow Dash asks.
"Because I have something important to tell him." Dante answered. "It's about his old parents."
"I gotcha." Rainbow Dash nods with an understanding. "Anyway, hop on and hold on tight. Cuz' it'll be a fast one."
Dante was confused about it, but he got on her back. Rainbow Dash then started flapping her wings and quickly left Cloudsdale and head towards Ponyville.
By the time both Rainbow Dash and Dante made it Ponyville when she lands on the ground, Dante's face was green which he was getting motion sickness. Dante quickly got off of her back and quickly rush towards the Sugarcube Corner, heading to the bathroom as he began throwing up. Rainbow Dash couldn't help but cringe when she heard the hurling sound.
"Hi, Rainbow Dash." Pinkie Pie greets from behind, causing Rainbow Dash to yelp. "Who's the new Pegasus with you?"
"Geez, Pinkie! You scared me!" Rainbow Dash hollered. "His name is Dante, he's a human from another world. And he's a friend of Comet."
"What?!" Pinkie Pie exclaims. "He's one of Comet's friends?!"
"Yeah, but here's the thing." Rainbow Dash said as she starts explaining.
After a few minutes of explanation, Pinkie Pie was astonished of Rainbow Dash's story. She felt bad for Dante losing his foster parents, forced to drop out of school, and on a run with Antione and his gang from the Italian Mafia. She was even shocked that Princess Luna takes Dante to Equestria because of Antione wanted him to have somepony take care of the colt.
"So let me see if I get it right, you're telling me that his foster parents were kill by the Mafia?" Pinkie Pie asks, earned a nod from Rainbow Dash. "And he was forced to drop out of school and run with Antione and his friends?"
Rainbow Dash nods again.
"Must've been tough. Even for somepony to go through some terrible things, especially with his cousin and his friends who're on a run." Pinkie Pie states.
"Uh, Pinkie, Dante and Comet grew up in a rough streets in New York, remember?" Rainbow Dash points out with her raised eyebrow.
"Oh, right." Pinkie Pie said.
"Anyway, I'm planning to bring Dante to Twilight at the library." Rainbow Dash said. "Comet should be finished his school right now."
"Mind if me and Rosey tag along?" Pinkie Pie asks.
"Sure, but we should wait for Dante." Rainbow Dash suggests.
Though they don't have to wait for long because Dante got out of the Sugarcube Corner with a groan, still feeling the effects of motion sickness.
"Heh, heh, um, sorry about that." Rainbow Dash apologizes with a nervous chuckle. "I guess I got carried away."
"You think?" Dante asks sarcastically, about to blow chunks. "Maybe we should walk to the library instead of going fast?"
"Yeah, I think we should since you're not used to flying or speed." Rainbow Dash agrees.
Just as when Pinkie Pie picked up Rose Lotus after school, they walked over to the Golden Oak Library. Rainbow Dash came to the door, and knocked on it. Nopony answered right away, so she knocked again. Then the door opened and there was Spike.
"Oh, Rainbow Dash?" Spike asked. "This is unusual for you. Usually, you come in crashing through the window."
"Yeah, but today, I thought I would just walk in." Rainbow Dash said. "Plus, I got something to ask Twilight and it also concerns this colt."
Spike looked on her back and saw Dante sitting on her back.
"Alright, I'll go get her." Spike replied. "Make yourself at home."
It would seem that Twilight had her couch out in the middle of the library while Comet was reading his book. Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, and Rose Lotus walked up to her, and then Rainbow Dash grabbed Dante's scruff by her teeth, and put him on the couch, and then she sat right next to him.
"Why are we at the library?" Dante questions.
"Hm, that voice." Comet muttered, recognizes the voice.
"Well, it we're going to get some answers, we would have to talk to the prized pupil of Princess Celestia." Rainbow Dash answered. "And she happens to live here. Just wait."
"Dante? Tell me that isn't you?" Comet asks when he turns to his old friend.
It got Dante's attention when he turns and saw Comet Stardust which it got his eyes widen with shock.
"Eli?!" Dante exclaims.
"Dante, it is you." Comet said as walk towards him. "What are you doing here? More importantly, how did you end up here in Equestria?"
"You can thank Princess Luna, she's one who got me out of the jam." Dante answered. "Except that I've to leave my cuz and his friends behind."
"What do you mean?" Comet asks curiously.
Before Dante could give him the answer, they heard hoofsteps coming down, and they saw Twilight coming down the stairs.
"This better be good, Rainbow Dash." Twilight said with a glare, not in the mood. "I hope this isn't something that will overgrow your ego."
"Actually, it's a little bit...complicated." Rainbow Dash answered.
Twilight then saw Dante sitting next to Rainbow Dash.
"Oh? Who is this young colt?" Twilight asks.
"This young colt is Dante." Rainbow Dash answered. "He happens to be a human trapped in a body of a pony. Like Comet, Apple Shine, Rose, and Winter."
"C'mon, Rainbow Dash, this isn't funny." Twilight said with annoyance.
"Mom, she's telling the truth." Comet cuts in. "Dante is really a human turned into a pony."
"Also, I didn't make that up." Rainbow Dash adds angrily. "He's really a human trapped in a body of a pony!"
"It's true!" Dante adds. "I'm really a human turned into a pony!"
"Okay, how much is Rainbow Dash paying you?" Twilight asks, still not convinced. "Because you might as well be paid by now."
"Girl, you better watch it, cuz' I'mma break ya dang horn, you won't feel it!" Dante retorted. "And what is up with that paying me trash?! Is it because I'm black?! If ya don't believe it, ask your boy over there, cuz' he knows me better than you, dog!"
Twilight then gasped in shock, feeling offended of his trash talk. Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, and Rose Lotus were surprised that Dante really give a trash talk to her, but Comet is no stranger of his old friend because they grew up in the streets of New York. She then turns to her son which he gives her a blank expression.
"What? Dante isn't making this up, and neither does Rainbow Dash." Comet told her.
It got Twilight Sparkle sighed while decided to use another method.
"Alright fine, I'll scan you to see if you're telling the truth or not. If I sense that there's some alternation of your DNA, I should be able to detect it. And you better watch that mouth of yours, young colt." Twilight suggests with a warning, glaring angrily at Dante as she started lighting up her and pointed it at him. "But I'm telling you, nopony is...going...to..."
Twilight stopped when she said that, but then she gave off a confused face, which slowly went to shock.
"It can't be..." Twilight said.
"What is it?" Rainbow Dash asked.
"I do detect some alternation of his DNA." Twilight answered. "He...He really is a human turned into a pony."
"That's what they're trying to tell you." Comet said. "Dante is like me, Apple Shine, Rose, and Winter."
Twilight couldn't help but groan, knowing that her son was right.
"But the real question is, how did this happen?" Twilight asks.
"Like I said to Eli, you can thank Princess Luna. She helped me out in the jam." Dante answered. "Except where I have to leave Antione and his gang behind."
"Dante, he goes by the name of Comet. The name of 'Elijah' hasn't been used in years." Twilight reminded her. "But never mind that, the question is, why is that?"
"It's the Italian Mafia, that's why! After Comet's parents moved to Virginia and those fools in death penalty, the Mafia were on edge and they've been hunting us down." Dante explains. "They killed my foster parents, and I was forced to drop out of school because Antione and his gang were on a run. We've been hiding and running for 2 years."
Twilight, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Comet, and Rose Lotus were shocked of his explanation.
"And now with Princess Luna's help, she got me here in Equestria." Dante finished his explanation.
"But why would she left them behind?" Rose Lotus asked.
"Because Antione and his gang has some connections in the streets." Dante answered. "They're heading to New Orleans to find a new jobs."
"New Orleans?" Rainbow Dash asks in confusion.
"It's the name of the city in Louisiana." Comet explains. "Louisiana is also part of the southern states in US."
"And Louisiana has the best jazz schools." Dante adds.
Twilight, Rainbow Dash, and Pinkie Pie nods with an understanding.
"But what about your real parents?" Twilight asks. "They're probably worried about you."
"They would be...if they hadn't abandoned me." Dante said.
That made Twilight, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, and Rose Lotus gasp in shock.
"They abandoned you?" Rainbow Dash asks. "Why those no good-"
"Rainbow Dash, the reason why they abandoned him at Coney Islands is because they don't want anything to do with him. His foster parents found him and raise him as their own." Comet told her. "They can't afford to take care of him nor have the time for him."
Rainbow Dash can understand their reason, but still angry of what she has learned of his childhood.
"Dante, I'm going to write a letter to the princess and tell her about you." Twilight suggests, earned a nod from him. "Rainbow Dash, why don't you and Comet take Dante here on a tour to Ponyville while I have Spike send a letter to Princess Celestia."
Rainbow Dash and Comet nods when Spike came down the stairs with the quill and parchment.
"But first, we're gonna have to get your name changed." Twilight said.
"Why?" Dante asks.
"Because your name doesn't fit in Equestria. Princess Luna filled you in when we're in the dream realm." Comet answered.
"I gotcha." Dante replied.
"I think we should come up with the name that suits up." Twilight suggests.
"I might have a name for him." Comet states. "Storm Hawk."
"Storm Hawk?" Rainbow Dash repeats.
"He gave me that nickname 3 years ago." Dante explains. "I was always quick on my feet and have the basketball soars through the hoop. In the streets, I'm always tough as nails and be ready for a fight."
"Make sense since the both of you grew up in the rough streets." Rose Lotus agrees.
"I agree." Pinkie Pie adds. "And I think it suits him."
Twilight and Rainbow Dash nods with an agreement as they left Golden Oak Library since they decided to give Dante, now as Storm Hawk, a tour to Ponyville, leaving Twilight Sparkle sending a message to Princess Celestia.
While Pinkie Pie and Rose Lotus heads back to Sugarcube Corner, Rainbow Dash and Comet gives Storm Hawk a tour to Ponyville, while helping him walk like a pony. First was Sweet Apple Acres, Applejack and Mario believed Storm Hawk when he told them his backstory, but Apple Shine did give him a slap in the face since he tried to flirt with her. Comet already knew what Storm Hawk was doing which he reminded him not doing that again. So, both Applejack and Mario decided to tag along and explain to the rest of their friends about his predicament. Then they went to Fluttershy's cottage. Both Fluttershy and Winter Breeze felt bad of how Storm Hawk was on the run. Third was the Carousel Boutique, Rarity was told of Storm Hawk's backstory, she felt bad for him. So, they went to a last place, Sugarcube Corner, and probably a sweet snack to cheer him up. They noticed both Pinkie Pie and Rose Lotus working on baking sweets.
Then, something that clicked on Storm Hawk's mind as he turns to Comet.
"Comet, I forgot to tell something. It's about your parents." Storm Hawk said.
"What? Is everything okay with them, besides moving to Virginia?" Comet asks.
"Yes, but there's something I have to tell you. Your old mom had a daughter named Lisa." Storm Hawk explains. "You had a sister, Comet."
"WHAT?!" They shouted in unison.
"When did they...Wait...I remember now." Comet states with a smile. "It's my wish! And it came true!"
"Comet, yer not makin' any sense." Applejack points out.
"No, listen." Comet said. "Before I died and came here, I saw a bright star and made a wish. A wish for my old parents to have a second chance on being good parents and live in Virginia. And my second wish was to have a new chance with a new family of my own."
That got them shocked when Comet gives an explanation, which Mario now finally realizes why he came here. Comet Stardust was the one who made two wishes before he died and came here in Equestria 2 years ago.
"You really made that wish?" Storm Hawk asks shockingly.
"I did." Comet nods. "And I'm glad I did because my old parents had enough hardships as it is."
"I can understand that, bro." Storm Hawk said with a smile. "Your parents deserve a second chance."
Comet nods with an agreement, but his expression turns to sad.
"I'm sorry about your foster parents." Comet apologizes. "They really don't deserve this."
"I know, man. Those fools just made hard since I have to drop out of school and join Antione to run." Storm Hawk said. "And you've got nothing to apologize, those Italian Mafias did this, not you. I'm already aware of what they're capable of."
Comet nods with an understanding.
"And you know what? You need a major party for you to get over all the pain you received." Pinkie Pie suggests.
"But where are we going to hold the party?" Rainbow Dash asked.
"Well, Ah guess we can have a party over at Sweet Apple Acres." Applejack suggested. "Of course, Ah would have to get permission from Granny Smith first."
"Good idea!" Pinkie Pie agrees, turns to Storm Hawk. "And I'll invite everypony in Ponyville and make sure that everypony will be nice to you after they hear what you've been through."
Storm Hawk was a little unsure about it, but then his frown turns into a small smile. Dante then nodded, but his eyes widened, and he sat down, squeezing his haunches together.
"Um...I need to take a leak." Storm Hawk said.
"I'm on it!" Pinkie Pie said, grabbing Storm Hawk by his scruff and rushing him towards the bathroom.
Rainbow Dash looked up the stairs, feeling sad for Storm Hawk. He didn't deserve something what those Italian Mafia has done.
"Ah know that look." Applejack said, earned her attention. "You're thinkin' of wantin' ta take care of him, aren'tcha?"
"What?!" Rainbow Dash exclaims, rubbing the back of her head. "Why would you...?"
"Rainbow." Applejack called her. "Ah understand. Princess Luna sent him to Equestria, wanted ya to take care of him, ya feel bad for him. You should be the one to take care of him."
"She's right." Comet agrees. "Storm Hawk has been through a lot and he deserves a chance to have a good life."
"I agree, darling." Rarity adds. "You really seem to care for him a lot."
"But..." Rainbow Dash said. "But I have no idea how to take care of a colt. I don't even have siblings in my family."
"I know you don't have any siblings, but you would never give up on somepony in need." Fluttershypoints out. "And right now, I believe Storm Hawk needs you."
Rainbow Dash looked up the stairs, but then she smiled as she turns back to her friends.
"Yeah, I guess you're right." Rainbow Dash agrees. "But what if I get into the Wonderbolts? I might not have time for him."
"I'm sure that one of us will be willing to watch him while you're doing that." Mario told her. "That is...'if' you get into the Wonderbolts. Right now, Storm Hawk needs you to watch over him."
"Rainbow Dash!" The voice of Twilight said.
They looked towards the door and saw Twilight and Spike coming in through the door which she was out of breath.
"We got...a reply...from the princess..." Twilight panted as she then levitates a letter from Princess Celestia.
Rainbow Dash took it in her right wing and started reading it.
Dear Twilight Sparkle,
I have taken in what you wrote to me about this predicament, and it just might have something to do with what Luna has done last night. I have talked to her, and she had heard of one of the human's thoughts for having a young colt named Dante, known as Storm Hawk, for a better life and she has brought him to this world, but the spell did come with a price. For him to come to our world, he would have to be transformed into a pony that exists in our world.
If Luna did send the boy to Rainbow Dash and have her take care of him, I just hope she will do whatever it takes to take care of him, even though he lost his foster parents. My sister and I will be arriving in Ponyville, later tonight to meet this human boy turned colt, and make him feel welcome to Equestria.
Your mentor,
Princess Celestia
Rainbow Dash was already aware of Princess Luna bringing Storm Hawk here in Equestria, even though it's messed up, but she did help Antione and his gang granted their wish of Storm Hawk a second chance. Storm Hawk is a good kid, but he does have quite a mouth and needs to be taken in. And Rainbow Dash has to be the pony to take him in because he really needs all the help he can get.
Then, Pinkie Pie came down with Storm Hawk on her back.
"Alright, I'll let Granny Smith know about the party, and we'll make sure she'll give permission for us to have the party there." Applejack replied.
"Good idea!" Pinkie Pie agrees. "Let's go there and talk to Granny Smith first."
Before Applejack, Mario, and Pinkie Pie left, she took Storm Hawk off and set him right in front of Rainbow Dash.
"See you all later." Pinkie Pie said as she, Applejack, and Mario left the Sugarcube Corner.
After they parted ways, both Comet and Rainbow Dash have been taking Storm Hawk around in Ponyville. Apparently, both of the colts were catching up to each other to patch things up after with everything going on in New York. Storm Hawk was okay with Princess Luna since he met her at the dream realm, but he's nervous about meeting Princess Celestia. Storm Hawk was surprised that Comet learned how to make medicines and remedies from Zecora, new fighting styles of martial arts, and learned magic since he's a unicorn. Rainbow Dash even told him the time when Comet spends his days at Canterlot to spend some time with his grandparents, Shining Armor, Princess Cadence, and the Princesses. It even got Storm Hawk laughed when Comet told the joke of Blueblood as 'Prince Buffoon' which to him and Rainbow Dash, it was hilarious.
"Hey! Rainbow Dash!" The voice of Scootaloo said.
Rainbow Dash, Storm Hawk, and Comet looked to their rights and saw the CMC running up to them.
"What are you up to, today?" Scootaloo asks.
"Well, I've been quite busy." Rainbow Dash answered. "Showing this guy around."
The three of them noticed him and smiled.
"Oh, who is this colt?" Apple Bloom asked.
"Girls, meet Storm Hawk." Rainbow Dash introduced a Pegasus colt. "He's not really from around here. And by here, I mean the world we're on."
"Wait!" Sweetie Belle said. "Are you saying he's from another planet like Apple Shine, Comet, Rose, and Winter?!"
"That's right." Comet nods. "He was a human known as Dante from Queens, New York from another world. He's also my friend."
"Seriously?!" The CMC asked with shock, pulled Storm Hawk down to their level.
"Hi! Ah'm Apple Bloom!" Apple Bloom said.
"I'm Sweetie Belle!" Sweetie Belle adds.
"And I'm Scootaloo!" Scootaloo said. "And together, we are..."
They three of them took in a deep breath and then...
"THE CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS!" The CMC shouted.
Rainbow Dash, Comet, and Storm Hawk had to cover their ears, which weren't in the same place as they were before. And Storm Hawk think that his hearing has gotten better with him being a pony right now.
"Do you really have to say it loud?" Storm Hawks asks, rubbing his ears.
"Oh, sorry 'bout that." Apple Bloom said.
Then Apple Bloom noticed something on his side. Storm Hawk looked towards it and all he could see is one of his wings.
"Oh, my gosh!" Apple Bloom exclaims with a gasp.
"What? What is it?" Storm Hawk asks.
"You don't have a Cutie Mark!" Apple Bloom said. "Wanna join out club?"
Storm Hawk was at that, turns to Comet.
"Cutie Mark? What's that, isn't that a breakfast cereal or something?" Storm Hawk asks which it got Rainbow Dash and Comet chuckled.
"No, it's a mark that represents your talent, which it's a trait you're good at." Comet answered. "Like Rainbow Dash's cutie mark, it represents her love for speed and racing. And as you can see, me, Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo don't have ours yet."
Storm Hawk look towards the CMC and they showed their flanks which they didn't mark their Cutie Mark at all. He also looked towards Comet's flank, noticed he doesn't have his, either.
"These three are trying to earn their marks and their talents while some of us have to figure out our talent at our own pace." Comet told him. "Mostly, they'll try something dangerous which to me, it's pretty reckless."
"Hey!" The CMC barked, resented that offense.
"Oh, that's right, Apple Shine, Winter, and Rose didn't have theirs." Storm Hawk said. "Why didn't they join them?"
"Like I said, some of us will figure out our talent at our own pace." Comet answered.
"Gotcha." Storm Hawk nods.
"Perhaps you two should be in their club, just for fun." Rainbow Dash suggests. "But don't do anything dangerous."
"Sorry, I've got martial arts practice." Comet declines.
"Wait, they have martial arts dojo here?" Storm Hawk asks surprisingly.
"Yep." Comet nods. "I'll show you where it is."
Storm Hawk then followed Comet to the martial arts dojo which he doesn't like the idea of doing something dangerous. The CMC were shocked that Storm Hawk refuse to join their club. Rainbow Dash was also shocked, but couldn't blame him since he'd rather be around with somepony he knows, like Comet.
Soon as the two colts made it to the martial arts dojo, Zane turns to them as he approaches Comet and Storm Hawk.
"Hello, Comet. I see you brought a friend." Zane greets with a smile.
"Yeah, this is Storm Hawk." Comet introduces the colt. "And he's-"
"A human from another world who turned into a pony, I'm well-aware of that." Zane said. "Mario filled me in."
Comet and Storm Hawk nods when Zane turns to the Pegasus colt.
"Also, I wanted to say I'm sorry for what has happened to you." Zane told him, earned a nod from him. "Since you're here, how about I teach you martial arts."
"Okay." Storm Hawk nods. "But I only learned the basics of Judo."
"I understand, and I know somepony who can teach you. But while you're here, how about I teach you Jujutsu?" Zane offers.
Storm Hawk gives him a nod as they went inside of the martial arts dojo. Comet is practicing martial arts with Wild Heart while Zane teaches him the basics of Jujutsu. Storm Hawk was having a little trouble, but Zane and Comet helped him. Zane was impressed that Storm Hawk was able to learn the basic grappling, takedowns, chokeholds, and trapping. Storm Hawk and Comet spar against each other which the unicorn mostly wins because he practiced longer than him.
Just as the practice is over, both Comet and Storm Hawk head for Sugarcube Corner to have some snack.
"Hey, Comet?" Storm Hawk called him, earned his attention. "How'd you do that?"
"Do what?" Comet asks in confusion.
"Your horn." Storm answered, points the horn.
"Oh, that's my magic. It sometimes easy to use." Comet explains. "Unicorns and alicorns can generate magic with their horns and are able to use their horns to use magic. I'm still learning a few spells with mom, Mario, and Wild Heart."
"What about the other ponies?" Storm Hawk inquires.
"Earth ponies have magic that increases their own strength and endurance. You saw the Apple family worked on Sweet Apple Acres." Comet explains. "And also, Pegasi allows then to fly and walk on clouds. Also, the Pegasi are in charge of the weather at Cloudsdale."
"So that's why I didn't fall off the cloud, it's almost like I'm walking on air." Storm Hawk states. "And how Rainbow Dash can fly really fast."
"I take it you've never flown before?" Comet asks when Storm Hawk shook his head. "Well, Rainbow Dash can teach you, just she taught Winter Breeze how to fly."
"Speaking of which, what was their story?" Storm Hawk asks.
"That's not my place to tell. You'll have to ask them yourself." Comet suggests. "How about we grab something to eat?"
Storm Hawk normally would pry, but he gives him a nod with an understanding. They stopped back at Sugarcube Corner for a snack as they went inside and saw Mrs. Cake at the desk.
"Oh, hello there, Comet." Mrs. Cake greets when she turns to Storm Hawk. "Oh, and who is this young colt with you here?"
"This is Storm Hawk, formally known as Dante." Comet answered, introduces to him. "He's new to Ponyville."
"Well, it's a pleasure to meetcha, Storm Hawk." Mrs. Cake said. "I'm Cup Cake, you can call me Mrs. Cake. What brings you two here?"
"We're here to get some snack." Comet answered.
"Alright then." Mrs. Cake nods. "What will it be?"
Storm Hawk thought about it, saw one of the doughnuts.
"Can I have a doughnut? One with the cream filling?" Storm Hawk asks.
"Sure, dearie." Mrs. Cake nods, turns to Comet. "What about you?"
"I'll just have a Sfogliatella." Comet answered.
"What about the drinks?" Mrs. Cake asks.
"Water." Comet answered.
"Alright." Mrs. Cake said. "That'll be 10 bits."
"Bits?" Storm Hawk repeats, confused.
"It's the currency here in Equestria." Comet explains while payed the order. "Instead of dollars or cents in our world, they use coins here in Equestria."
Storm Hawk then nods, understands what his friend is telling him. They sat down at the table, waiting for their orders to come. As soon as they're waiting for the order, two of the fillies came in which was none other than Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon.
"Oh, look, Silver Spoon. If it isn't the blank flank." Diamond Tiara taunts with a smirk, but Silver Spoon only stayed silent.
"What do you want, brat?" Comet retorted.
"You don't get to ask us with that kind of attitude." Diamond Tiara said with a glare.
"You're one to talk, I'm not the one who started to pick a fight." Comet barked back with a scowl. "Last time you tried, it didn't go well for you, and you have to learn the hard way."
Diamond Tiara couldn't help but growl at the colt while Silver Spoon quietly snickered. She then noticed Storm Hawk.
"Oh, look. You finally got a loser to join-"
"Tell me you did not just said that! Tell me you did not just said that!" Storm Hawk barked with a glare. "Girl, you just mess with the wrong colt here, dog! I'm gonna slap you so hard you won't feel it, and I bet yo momma would feel so bad, she'll be comin' out with a pop cart!"
That got Diamond Tiara gasp with shock, feeling insulted while Comet snickered a bit.
"W...What did you say?!" Diamond Tiara growled. "What did you say about my mom?"
"You heard me." Storm Hawk retorted. "Yo momma was so old, she had her flank popped out in skittles!?"
Now Diamond Tiara is angrier while Comet chuckled a bit, knew this was coming. Had enough, Diamond Tiara charges after Storm Hawk, but he uses his circle throw technique, tosses Diamond Tiara right into the floor. Comet decided to break up the fight as he uses his magic to stop Diamond Tiara, pulls close to him.
"You caused enough trouble, Diamond Tiara. Leave before I do something that I would regret." Comet warns him with harden glare.
Diamond Tiara can tell he means business, remembered last time she picked a fight and didn't go the way she wanted. Comet puts her down and have Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon walked away.
"Who the heck are these two suckas?" Storm Hawk asks.
"These two are Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon, they're the two bullies and my classmates." Comet answered with a sigh. "Diamond Tiara does most of the bullying, but Silver Spoon only follows her. Though, Silver Spoon does seem tolerable, only a bad influence of Diamond had the way she treated others."
"No surprise here, we both had a fair share when it comes to bullies." Storm Hawk points out.
Then, Mrs. Cake came in with their orders, and they started eating. Well, Storm Hawk started with the water he had when he saw Comet holding his Sfogliatella with his hoof, he got confused on how he was able to grip it.
"Um, how are you holding that with your hoof?" Storm Hawk asks. "We were once humans, we usually had fingers and hands to grab things, no problem. Even that little dinosaur has fingers."
"Believe me, I was like that too when I was having trouble grabbing things with my hoof. Magic is easy, but grabbing with hooves is another story." Comet said with a chuckle. "I'll help you with that."
Comet then grabbed the doughnut and pulled it over to Storm Hawk.
"Now, imagine grabbing the doughnut with those fingers you had, and try grabbing it." Comet suggests.
Storm Hawk was imagining grabbing his doughnut. He had his eyes closed, and he flexed.
"Okay, I'm grabbing it." Storm Hawk said.
"Now, imagine pulling the doughnut up to your mouth and eat it." Comet said.
Storm Hawk imagined pulling the doughnut and bringing it to his mouth, and he took a bite out of his doughnut. And the weirdest thing is, he actually tasted it. Storm Hawk then opened his eyes, and saw that he was actually holding the doughnut with his hoof.
"I'm...I'm holding it..." Storm Hawk said with a smile.
"You actually are." Comet nods with a smile. "Nice job. Go on and eat up."
Storm Hawk smiled and continued eating his doughnut. At least Storm Hawk was able to see his old friend again, but he was hoping that his cousin and the gang made it to New Orleans.
Few hours later, Comet showed his friend where the school was, meeting Cheerilee while given her explanation. She felt sad for the Pegasus, and she decided to register him for school. He also showed Storm Hawk the other places and where Wild Heart lives. Storm Hawk was surprised that Comet learned Okichitaw from the stallion, the same fighting style he learned from his old father from another world.
Now, they're heading towards where Pinkie Pie was going to throw a party for him. Soon as the two colts arrived at Sweet Apple Acres.
"SURPRISE!" The ponies shouted when they opened the doors, there were decorations hung from the ceiling, balloons blown up, and few tables had plates of food on it. There were a lot of ponies inside, and they were smiling at the colt. Pinkie Pie literally bounced up to them.
"I was wondering when you would get there!" Pinkie Pie said happily. "Now, let's get this party started!"
After that, the party begins. All of the ponies, including his new friends, were being nice to Storm Hawk. This is until, Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon arrived.
"What is that loser doing here?" Diamond Tiara asks in a snobbish tone which it got the two colts attention. "Why would they throw a party for a pathetic loser like you?"
"Says a sucka who got her flank kicked." Storm Hawk remarked with a smirk, leaving Diamond Tiara growled at him. "Do you honestly think I would let you play me like a fool? Well, you're sadly mistaken. If anypony who's a pathetic loser, it's you."
"What?!" Diamond Tiara exclaims. "What did you call me?!"
"You heard me." Storm Hawk said. "And girl, I'll be having no problems of beating you down like a bad habit."
"Oh yeah? Why don't you-UWAAAH!?"
Storm Hawk did just that when he gives her a hip toss down to the ground.
"Oh, I'm sorry, what were you saying?" Storm Hawk taunts. "My hooves just slipped."
It got the ponies laughed when Diamond Tiara got up with a glare, charging after Storm Hawk as he does the circle throw again, throwing her right into the fruit punch bowl and left her all soaking wet. Silver Spoon rushed over toward her friend.
"Nice one, Storm Hawk." Comet said with a chuckle as they hoof-bump each other. "You never lost your touch since the last time we spar."
"Hey, I maybe a pony, but I still got it." Storm Hawk states. "Besides, that crazy girl here got what she deserves, and she didn't realize who she's messing with."
"You got that right." Comet agrees.
Rainbow Dash then flew towards the two colts when she and her friends saw the scene which Diamond Tiara mostly started it.
"Looks like these two are add it again, huh?" Apple Shine asks.
"Yeah, but Strom Hawk just beat them down a peg." Comet nods.
"We saw. And I gotta say, I'm impressed." Rainbow Dash said with a smirk. "You really did show them what you're made of."
"This is what happens when you grew up in the cities of New York." Storm Hawk points out. "Comet and I grew up together and learn to be tough as nails. Besides, she's just all bark and no bite."
"We'll make sure that they won't mess with ya two anymore." Applejack said, earned a nod from the two.
"I sure hope you'll enjoy Equestria, Storm Hawk." Twilight said. "Oh, look. Here comes the Princesses."
Then up in the sky came was Princess Celestia and Princess Luna when they land right near the group. Everypony around him bowed to them. Storm Hawk then tried following their position, but he was stopped.
"You don't have to bow to us, Storm Hawk." Princess Celestia said. "We are here to see you personally."
Storm Hawk looked up and saw Princess Celestia looking down at him.
"So, you are the one my sister has brought here." Princess Celestia said with a smile.
"Y-Yes, that's right." Storm Hawk nods nervously.
"There's no need to be nervous." Princess Celestia said with a chuckle. "A lot of ponies your age are like that. How old are you?"
"Eight, same age as Comet." Storm Hawk answered.
"A child as young as you shouldn't have to be on the run nor dealing with hardships." Princess Luna said. "You're lucky your cousin and his friends have granted their wish and brought here in Equestria."
Storm Hawk nods, thankful for the Princess.
"Speaking of, did they made it out?" Storm Hawk asks.
"Yes, they did. They made it out of New York, but they're resting over in somewhere called New Jersey." Princess Luna answered. "Right now, they're still remain cautious while doing many odd jobs in order for them to head for New Orleans."
Storm Hawk nods with an understanding, glad that they made out it and still alive.
"WAIT!" The voice of Diamond Tiara shouts. "You mean all the talk about him being on the run by the Mafias are true?! You've gotta be kidding me!"
"It's no joke, Diamond Tiara." Rose Lotus told her. "Like him, some of us have dealt with hardships in our world as humans."
"She's right. We would never joke if you'd listen to the announcement." Princess Celestia agrees, turns to Storm Hawk. "My sister told me of your time in the city, and I wanted to say I'm sorry for your loss. I hope you will be better off here than on the run."
"Thank you." Storm Hawk thanked her. "It means a lot."
"Kid." Rainbow Dash called him. "You deserve the best to watch over you."
"I guess." Storm Hawk said.
"Which is why I choose you to take care of Storm Hawk." Princess Luna told her. "You're the Element of Loyalty and you never turn down to those in need. Storm Hawk needs somepony to be taken cared of. Rainbow Dash? Can we count on you to take care of him?"
Rainbow Dash thought long and hard since Storm Hawk came here in Equestria as a Pegasus. She knows that he's not used to flying or speed since she did see him get motion sickness which it'll be a simple fix. When she thought about, Rainbow Dash gives her answer.
"Yeah, I'll take care of him. You can count on me." Rainbow Dash nods with a smile, then she walked over to him and picked him up. "Don't worry, kid. I won't let anything bad happen to you."
Storm Hawk then hugged her which it made everypony around them smiled. Rainbow Dash saw that and quickly puts him down.
"But what about getting into the Wonderbolts?" Twilight asks. "You seemed confident to get in."
"Well, even if I do, I would have to have somepony to watch him while doing that." Rainbow Dash replied, turns to Storm hawk. "Alright Storm Hawk, how about I take you back to my place after this party is over? Let's get you something to eat."
And with that, they spend the rest of the party having fun, playing games, eating food, and dancing. It was a little weird for him dancing like a pony, but Storm Hawk was starting to get the hang of it.
When the party ended, Rainbow Dash took him to her place. Rainbow Dash told him that she'd get started on a new room for him to stay for tomorrow, but he'll have to share her bed tonight. She had him wrapped up in her hooves and wings.
"Good night, Storm Hawk." Rainbow Dash whispered to him.
"Good night...Rainbow...Dash..." Storm Hawk said as he then fell asleep.
That's it for the 24th chapter.
