The following charecter is based off of my best friend. It wouldn't feel right to NOT have him with me in Equestria. I know I'm not gonna bring him into there, but here's pony him!
NOTE: Sharky only knows about events up to the episode "A friend in deed"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Twilight woke up with the feeling of Sharky's breath on her neck. He had reached out and wrapped both of his arms around her in his sleep. She took a second to admire how well the curve of their bodies fit together. She wiggled her body against his to get more comfortable then sighed.

"Finally." She whispered. Then, she went back to sleep.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sharky woke up next to a gently snoring Twilight. How the hell did I get here? I thought to myself, then I figured it out. Oh no! I must have gotten into her bed in my sleep! I'm a terrible person! What kinda guy takes advantage of the fact that somepony is sleeping?! I unwrapped my arms from her body. I then crawled out of the bed and ran outside as quickly as I could. I didn't stop running there. I kept running right down the path that led to Fluttershy's house. I finally stopped about halfway there.

"GRAAAAAAGH!!! WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME?!" I yelled into the sky. I pounded the snow angrily. "I'M TAKING ADVANTAGE OF PONIES!!! IF THAT DREAM WITH WET-MANE TWILIGHT WASN'T BAD ENOUGH, NOW I'M SNEAKING INTO BED WITH THEM!!!" When I remembered my dream I stopped for a second then buried my head in the snow. "mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmph!!" My scream was muffled by the snow. I pulled my head back up and melted snow ran down my face like tears. "Dammit Sharky, they're PONIES. They don't think of you that way! You should stop having these thoughts RIGHT NOW. Besides, even if they did like you, you shouldn't be ready for a new relationship right now..." I drifted off as I remebered the state I had been in when I came here. I remembered the pain as my heart was ripped out. My future wife had been with another man. As I came to grips with it, instead of crying, I went back to my old ways from Earth. I hardened my heart and punched myself in the jaw to stop the tears. (Hey, it works.) Then I wiped my face clean of all expressions and melted snow. I sat there for a few minutes, hardening my emotional armor. Had I finished building it, I would've walked around as an emotionless husk for the rest of my life in Equestria. Luckily, fate had other plans. I heard an impact behind me as if something had hit the ground. I turned around, and behind me was a Big Mac-sized, black-gray pegasus. His mane was yellow, but the style of it reminded him of sonic the hedgehog. Same thing with his tail. He had a lightning storm for a cutie mark. He stared right into my eyes. After about 5 seconds of staring he smiled and sat on his haunches.

"Hello, friend." He said simply. I gave him a burning glare.

"I want to be alone!" I hissed at him. He shook his head.

"No you don't. I can see it in your eyes. Who hurt you so bad?" I just sat there dumbfounded. In 5 seconds he had blown past all my outer armor. It made me have a flashback to a time when I was a kid.

*sniffle*

"Hey there kid. What's wrong?"

"Nothing. Go away." I yelled.

"I don't believe you." I turned to look at the intruder. He gasped. "Who hurt you so bad?" He pointed to the bruises on my face. I had been attacked by the school bullies.

That boy had understood me. He was bullied too, as it was. We had decided to work together and managed to beat down the bullies that had opressed us so long. He had been one of the greatest influences in my life. It was him who had encouraged me to try cooking, him who had encouraged me to try out for hurdling, him who encouraged me to chase my dream of being a marine biologist. He had also been the one that had encouraged me to go after the hot college girl, but I'm willing to overlook that one. In a second all those thoughts flooded to me, and my emotional armor shattered.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Twilight woke up again, noticing a distinct lack of Sharky. "DANG IT!" She yelled helplessly. Spike woke up to this, but when he saw her expression, he knew who the problem was. He rolled his eyes and went back to sleep.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I was crying. Dammit, what is with Equestria and crying? I thought to myself. The pegasus was sitting next to me and patting my back.

"Just let it all out..." He said softly. I cried a little more, then composed myself and wiped my eyes on the sleve of my shirt.

"Thanks... Wait a minute, you don't even know me!" I said as I jumped up. He smiled.

"No, I don't, but I can see you're a good...whatever it is you are." I frowned.

"How do you know that?" He gave me a stare that felt like he was looking right through me.

"The eyes are the gateway to the soul." He said very seriously. I gasped. "That, and Rainbow Dash told me about you." I stared at him. Then we both burst out laughing. When we finally stopped I asked him another question.

"So, how do you know Rainbow Dash?"

"We work together controlling the weather." Then his eyes widened. "Ooooh! I made a ryhme!" He laughed at himself. His laughter was freakin' infectious. I started laughing too. Geez this guy WAS just like my Earth friend. Except...alive. I sobered up again. He noticed that I had stopped laughing. "Hey, what's wrong now?" He asked. I sighed.

"It's nothing. You just remind me of...of a really good friend of mine..." Before I could start crying again he started hovering in front of my face.

"Well thats because I AM a good friend of yours now!" I started laughing again. He laughed with me.

"So, what's you're name buddy?" I asked.

"Oh, I'm Storm Seeker." I was suprised by his name.

"Dude, that is the most bad-ass pony name I've ever heard. How'd you get it?"

"Well you see, I have a bad habit of flying face-first into storms. I often get struck by lightning in the clouds, which is why my mane and tail stand out like this. No one wanted me to be trotting around with the name 'lightning rod' so they call me Storm Seeker. By the way, why'd you just call me a bad donkey?" I nodded in understanding.

"Oh, bad-ass is a compliment in my world. And your name makes sense, and I'm--"

"Sharky White, I know." He interrupted. I gasped.

"H-how'd you know that?" He landed and looked at me.

"Rainbow Dash." He said simply.

"Oh..." He began to look nervous.

"So umm, do you uh... spend a lot of time with Rainbow Dash?" He asked. I thought for a moment.

"Hmm not really. I beat her in a race once, but I haven't really gotten to spend much time with her, why?"

"Well, she just seems really... impressed with you." He said. He stared at me intently, looking for a reaction I suppose.

"She said that? Well thats awfully nice of her!" I said absentmindedly. His stare intensified.

"I don't think you understand me. She's really really REALLY IMPRESSED with you." He put a lot of emphasis on the word impressed. I gave him a quizzical look.

"No I heard you the first time, I SAID that's awfully nice of her." He shook his head.

"You're hopeless dude." He said in that annoying matter-of-fact tone.

"What's that supposed to mean?" He laughed.

"It means that the truth is gonna hit you like a brick wall." He said cryptically. I just shook my head and looked at the sky. The sun was just now starting to come out. I yawned as I realized how early it was. Then I had a thought.

"Hey, you wanna go visit Fluttershy? I'm sure she gets really lonely during the winter." He thought for a moment.

"I never really thought about it before, but you're right." He mused. "Lets go see if she wants company." We started walking off in the direction of Fluttershy's house.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After about 15 minutes of walking and talking about nothing of particular intrest up to this point (lets see you recognize that refrence) we got to Fluttershy's house. Stormy knocked on the door. (What's that? I can't call him Stormy? It takes away from his bad-assness? Well f*** you buddy. I can call him what I want.) Fluttershy squeed from the inside of her home.

"Ooooh~ company!" She squealed. She threw the door open and looked at Stormy. "Oh... hi Storm Seeker." She said. She must know him pretty well because she didn't hide behind her mane or anything. "Sorry I'm not more excited... I was just kinda hoping--"

"Hey Fluttershy!" I interrupted. She looked past Stormy and saw me. She beamed at me, then she blushed and started hiding behind her mane.

"Oh...hi Sharky..." She mumbled. I was a little upset. She was scared of me again?

"Fluttershy, why are you scared of me again? I thought we were good friends now..." Her face popped out from behind her mane.

"Oh, I'm not scared!" She blurted. She then blushed again and hid behind her mane. Stormy had been looking at her then slowly turning his head towrds me the entire time. He started bumping my leg with his shoulder. I looked down at him and he started pointing the side of his head at Fluttershy.

"Ehm... ehm. ehm." He started clearing his throat as he motioned his head.

"Are you ok Stormy?" He rolled his eyes and sighed. I decided to ignore him and turned back to Fluttershy. "May we come in?"

"Oh...um...please do...if you don't mind." I kicked the snow off my shoes and stepped in. The entire time Fluttershy never moved her head out of her mane. Stormy stomped all his hooves then walked in too. Fluttershy motioned to a couch and we sat down. It was quiet for awhile, but not akward quiet, more like 'at peace' quiet. My stomach broke the silence. Both of them looked at me and I blushed.

"That's what I get for only eating two meals and some sweets since I got here." I groaned. Fluttershy jumped up.

"Oh you poor thing!" She shouted. "I'll make you something really quick!" She darted off. Stormy gave me a funny look.

"What?" I asked him. He shook his head.

"Do mares act like that--" He pointed in Fluttershy's direction. "All the time?" I thought for a moment.

"Shy? No, not really. It's usually just her." He sighed and shook his head some more.

"You have got to be the smartest IDIOT I've ever met." I was gonna give him a smart remark right back, but Fluttershy ran in right then.

"Oh, I forgot to ask, what do you eat? I've got apples, oranges, carrots, birdseed, steaks, eggs--"

"Wait, you have WHAT?!?" I shouted in disbelief. Did she just say STEAK?! "You have MEAT here Fluttershy?!" She didn't bat an eyelash at my outburst.

"Well an animal pony like me has to get over the fact that not everything out there is a vegetarian like me, so I have it for some of my animal friends." Stormy looked just as shocked as me. "Anyway, you look like an omnivore--" I wondered how she could tell by looking at me. "So if you want some, please eat it. It'll go bad by the end of winter anyway and I hate to waste." I was so thrown off by how calm she was with this. I really didn't think it would make a good impression on Stormy, but my stomach gave me away. Fluttershy gave me a small smile. "I'll take that as a yes." She trotted off. I sat there open-mouthed. Stormy looked at me and asked exactaly what I was thinking.

"Did that just happen?!" I just sat there open-mouthed and shrugged. I heard sizzling in the kitchen and almost fainted. This shit was really happening. My world just flipped. Me and Stormy just sat there for about 15 minutes staring at each other open-mouthed. When Fluttershy walked in balancing a plate with a steak on it on her wing... I did faint. I was promptly woken up by a hoof to my cheek. Stormy had punched me.

Damn I faint too much. I thought to myself. Fluttershy set the plate down in front of me. I wanted to vomit because the idea of eating meat in front of these ponies made me sick, but at the same time I wanted to wolf down the steak. I decided to comprimise. "I'm so sorry!" I said to both of the ponies. I picked up the plate and ran outside. I am not proud of myself for what happened next. I won't even go into it. I didn't even have a fork or knife....*shudder* After I finished I wiped my face off and walked back into the tree. I felt so freakin' guilty. Fluttershy was handling this better than anypony ironically. She took the plate and trotted back into the kitchen. I sat down next to Stormy.

"Dude...." I flinched, waiting for the worst. "You are a BEAST!!" He didn't say it in a bad way, he was smiling at me a offering his hoof up for a brohoof. "Finally! A meat-eater on OUR side!" He cheered. I was stunned yet again. Damn these ponies and their ability to get over otherwise terrible things. Fluttershy trotted back in.

"I agree. It's nice to see somepony that can eat meat, but won't eat us. It's...nice..." She looked like she suddenly remembered she was shy and started blushing and hiding behind her mane again. About that time I remebered I had a job.

"Oh CRUD!!" I shouted. "I'm gonna be late to work!!" I ran over to Fluttershy and hugged her. "Thanks for understanding..." I whispered to her. She didn't move for a second, but then she kissed me on the cheek and hugged me back.

"No problem..." I released her and ran out the door. Stormy was right behind me, I have no idea why he was there, but it was nice to have him. About 10 minutes into the run Stormy started shouting.

"Wait...STOP!!!" I skidded to a halt and looked at him.

"What?" I yelled back. His pupils had shrank and his tail was inbetween his legs. "Whats wrong?"

"Don't you hear that? CAN'T YOU HEAR THAT?!" He was yelling. He was really starting to freak me out. "Manticore!!! He's been following us for the past 5 minutes!!" Right about then I heard a loud roar and a huge lion with a scorpion tail and bat wings charged out of the treeline right at me, roaring like a monster.

"OH FUCK!!!"

What I think when I write that ending: Finally I get to write some action!

What you think when you read that ending: Dammit, not the kind of action I was hoping for! Oh well...
