Chapter 1 everypony. Lets see how I will react in this Brave New World.


I looked around Ponyville trying to find somepony I knew. I was shocked and afraid but at the same time I had to say that being my own pony let alone a pegasus really made me excited beyond anything else. It was strange though. I was slowly getting used to the walking on four hooves but when I tried to I couldn't seem to be able to fly. It was also confusing being in Ponyville. I knew just about every building here but I had no clue where they were. I was probably dashing around for half an hour before I found find Applejack selling her apples.

"Hello!" I said to her.

"Well hi there, what can I do for you?"

"Well I'm looking for somepony."

"Well what do they look like?" She questioned.

"She's a pegasus. Cyan. Rainbow-" "Dash." she said finishing my question.

"If you're looking for Rainbow Dash Celestia knows where she is. Most of the time she finds you. She's usually flying. Heck you're a pegasus why not fly up there and see if you can spot her."

I blushed at the thought in embarrassment. "Hey whats wrong?" Applejack asked.

"Well...you see umm I was born in a unicorn house so I never got the chance to learn to fly. I hear about Rainbow Dash and thought she could teach me."

"Oh well thats unfortunate. But if you wanna learn how to fly from Rainbow Dash, Expect the worst." I didn't know what she meant by that but my thoughts were interrupted by a massive roar that shook the town.

"What was that!" I exclaimed in surprise.

I looked in the distance and saw what looked like a giant lizard! We rushed over there and saw in disbelief a massive dragon!

"Seems theres always somethin tryin to destroy this town." Applejack said before rushing to confront it.

Everypony was running in panic as I saw Applejack run ahead and try to lasso it but it just swatted her away with his massive hand. I suddenly felt something inside me...ignite. I saw Fluttershy move up to the dragon's head and tried to talk some sense into it.

"Hey who do you think you are , coming here and destroying all of these houses!" She yelled. The dragon surprisingly just smacked her to the ground.

"Foolish pony!" The dragon roared. "I do not care for what is destroyed." Whatever was burning inside of me was getting stronger and hotter.

"Fluttershy!" Applejack was running towards the downed pegasus, leaving me alone in front of the dragon.

"C'mon Rainbow Dash. Where are you?" I said aloud. As if she heard my plea for help she swooped out of the sky and bucked the dragon on the side of the head.

"C'mon you big disgusting creature. Fight back!" She said as she was flying around the dragon.

The dragon reached out with his massive hands and grabbed Rainbow Dash. I saw him tighten his grip on her.

I felt something snap. That was it. Whatever was burning inside me made me explode; literally. My mane and tail had turned to a blaze. Unaware of what was going on I tried something. I somehow launched fire from my hoof at the dragon's arm causing him to drop Dash. I then let out a massive fire blast at the dragon even burning him. I kept on him until he he was nothing but a burning crisp. My fiery powers had gone and I had killed the dragon.

I walked over to Rainbow and the other ponies surrounding her. Twilight and Pinkie Pie had arrived and they all looked towards me. Smiles were beaming on their faces. They all cheered in joy that I had saved the town

"Wow." she said. "Thats one way to return the favor...uhh"

"Yeah and thanks for saving me in the Everfree forest. Im Blaze Streak. And really it was nothing." I said

"No now Im indebted to you for saving my life."

"Well I didn't know I had it in me."

"Ill say, that was impressive. Really though with your fire skills I would love to see how well you can fly!" my face reddened in embarrassment again. "Whats wrong?" she asked.

"Well you see I actually never learned to fly, I was hoping you could teach me."

"Woah bro. Are you sure you can handle my training?" My face lit up with excitement and determination.

"Yes I can handle anything you can throw at me!"

"Well then let's find that out! Meet me at the entrance of the Everfree Forest at 7 o'clock tomorrow morning and we will see what you're capable of doing." She said while walking away.

The rest of the ponies all said their goodbyes and I walked with Twilight explaining about how I was new here (leaving out the whole human part) and how I needed a place to stay.

"Oh I actually know a place near the center of town. It has been vacant for a few years now but its still in hospitable condition. You can stay there." She walked me there and said goodbye as she made her way to her own house.

I opened the door and turned the light on. The house was still furnished and had two bedrooms upstairs. It was late so I just went into my room. I got into my bed and looked up at the ceiling, thinking about how Im going to do Rainbow Dash's intensive training tomorrow. I was scared but I wasn't going to back out. I needed to fly and what better way to learn than by having your hero teach you. I smiled and closed my eyes and went to sleep.


There we go everypony. A lot longer than last time. Now will Blaze surpass Rainbow Dash's test with flying colors? Or will he crack under the pressure.
