Chap 1

Tiger Dusk stood at the entrance of Ponyville and took a deep breath. He was a pony with a charcole black mane, and orange body. His eyes looked around glowing an almost mysterious green. The sun was going down, but he was happy that he had finally arrived. "I haven't been here for almost 15 years... I wonder if my friends live here still?" he said outloud to himself. Nothing had changed... not that much anyways. There was the Sugar Cube Corner and the Library. He smiled as he started to walk towards the pastery shop. He had fond memories of this place. As he was about to open the door to the shop, another pony opened the door knocking him to the ground.

"Oof," he closed his eyes in a slight pain as he rubbed his nose.

"Omygosh sorry! Hereletmehelpyouupnewpony!" a pink pony with seemingly 'balloony hair if you will' offered a hoof."It's ok...umm Pinkie Pie? Tiger looked at her for a moment. "YUP! that's my name!" she smiled and then looked at him with a confused look, "how do you know my name strange I don't remember telling my name to a Tiger colored pony like you?" "It's been a while but I guess you don't remember," Tiger laughed, "the name is Tiger Dusk". "Tiger ... Dusk.." Pinkie Pie thought for a second and her eyes grew wide, she seemed to float in mid air for a second as she let out one of those big gasps. "TIGER!" she hugged him tightly. He laughed. "We GOTTA HAVE A PARTY!" Pinkie Pie bounced in the same spot. Tiger smiled, "maybe a bit later... but definatly! I remember your parties being the best!" "Okie doki lokie!~" Pinkie Pie said in a sing song voice. "So what brought you here Tiger?" Pinkie Pie asked as she motioned for him to enter the shop. "Actually, I'm on vacation for the first time in forever," Tiger said almost quietly as he looked down at the floor.

"Ooooo!" Pinkie Pie smiled,"the last time I saw you, we were like only little ponies! and and yeah! APPLE JACK will so be happy to hear that you are back!" "She's still around?" Tiger's eyes grew wide as he felt his heart rate jump slightly.

"Hee hee, of course silly, Apple Jack would never leave the farm!" Pinkie Pie

jumped in a circle around Tiger who's face had turned a slight brighter orange, "that's really good to know..." "Ummm excuse me... Pinkie Pie? Ma sis is asking if those cupcakes are ready?"

came a small filly's voice from behind Tiger. "Oh hey Applebloom!" Pinkie Pie quickly grabbed

a small basket filled with cupcakes filled to the brim in her mouth and handed it over to the

small filly. She was a yellow cream color and had a big bow in her red mane. "Applebloom!

you won't guess who this guy is!" Pinkie Pie had a large grin on her face as she pointed to

Tiger. Applebloom put down the basket and trotted over to get a closer look. "Huh..." she

examined him closley. "Oh common Pinkie... she was really little back then," Tiger

looked away. "But! she was always hanging off your tail! And she called you brother

just like Big Macintosh!" Pinkie thought of it for a second and giggled, "aww it was the

cutest thing!" "...." AppleBloom stopped and took a good look at his face. "...hmm... looks

familiar," AppleBloom frowned as she thought. Tiger turned around to face Pinkie and as he

did that his tail swished for a moment. AppleBloom's eyes lightened up as she quickly

grabbed it and laughed, "BIG BROTHER TIGER CAME BACK!!!" Tiger's eyes widened as

he felt the filly hanging off his tail, and turned his head to see her clinging to it tightly.

"SEEEEE?" Pinkie Pie grinned, "we didn't totally forget about you!" Tiger looked at

AppleBloom again and smiled, "been a while hasn't it AppleBloom? and you grew

up to be a big pony huh?" "That's right!" AppleBloom smiled as she let go, "told ya

Imma big pony! Omygosh Big Sis and Big Brother are so going to wanna hear about

this!" Pinkie Pie tilted her head upside down and in a sing song voice once again said

"PARTY!~" "Pinkie Pie, I just gotta see how everyone is doing before we have a party"

Tiger insisted. "Where did you go big bro? after you helped with that one apple sale..

you left and we never saw you again... sis was so sad, I was pretty sad too!"

AppleBloom's eyes were wiggling with tears. "Hey now... big ponies don't cry" Tiger

knelt down and gently brushed away the tears, "tell ya what, I'll tell you all about it

when I come to meet your sis and bro, how's that sound?" "Okay!" AppleBloom grabbed

Tiger's hoof and picked up the cupcake basket. "I'm coming too!" Pinkie Pie grinned. She bounced alongside the two. "One thing's for sure" Tiger sighed, "it's good to be

back."
