Chapter 1 Stronger

If something does not kill you, is that supposed to make you stronger, or stranger?~ Shadow

Shadow did not want to be friends with a pony who wants to fly if he has no wings but he knows Silver for so long that he knew that Silver would just push his crazy idea to the side and move on with his life. He was wrong. Silver was teased a lot in elementary school but middle school was worst. The ponies were bigger, tougher, and meaner. Most of the Pegasus went to flying school but Shadow stayed with Silver knowing that Silver might had it hard if he was not around. It happens on a warm sunny day, it was lunch time and everypony was outside playing around. Shadow had to spend some time at the library to study and when he made it outside, he couldn't find his friend. Most of the pony's had cutie marks but both Shadow and Silver were still blank flanks so it was easy trying to find them, all Shadow had to do was ask where the gray flank was. One of the ponies said that he was in the middle of that giant crowed of ponies. Shadow nodded and flew to get a better view.

Two Pegasus's were holding Silver in the air. "How does this feel Silver!" Said one of the Pegasus's.

Silver was scared out of his mind. He still wants to fly but not like this. Shadow wanted to do something but there was nothing that he could do, except stood back and watch and pray that they don't kill him. "I want down!" Cried Silver.

"We thought you want to be a Wonderbolt Silver! We thought you want to fly! So we are only helping you get your wings." Said the other Pegasus. The school counted from ten to zero and they threw Silver off the cliff and cheered as they watch the earth pony fall to the ground.

They all aw when Silver hit the ground but what did they thought was going too happened? That Silver was going to grow wings the moment they threw him? When the excitement died down Shadow flew to his broken friend and took him to the hospital for a checkup. Silver had three broken ribs and a broken leg, the nurse said that he was lucky to be alive and that Shadow had got to them right on time for Silver could had died from internal bleeding from his insides. A fall from that height for such a young pony could had been death, and it was all for fun. "Shadow?" Shadow never left Silver's sight after that fall. "Did I…did I flew?"

"You flew Silver." Shadow said sympathetically as he friend was starting to wake from his coma. "How did it felt?"

It felt…great." Shadow tilt his head to his side when he notice that Silver had a smile on his face as he was remember the felling of how it felt like to fly across the sky. "I could only imagine what it must feel like to do that every day of your life Shadow."

"It's like walking…just got to take one step at a time right? Don't worry Silver I am sure you will get your wings one day Silver."

"You think so?"

"I don't think so, I know so." Shadow said with a smile. Silver had a tear in his eye then close them for a rest, then the machine started to beat and the nurse had to rush inside and push Shadow out of the room. Shadow had no idea what just happen but it wasn't good that was for sure but once again the only thing Shadow could do was pray for his lost friend. Pray that somehow Silver will get his wings.
