Chap 2

Inside the library a purple unicorn pony was running around franticly. "Spike!

Spike? Have you seen my spell book on how to 'untrol..'" she stopped as she saw

the baby dragon hold up the spell book she was looking for. "Thanks Spike! I'm sure

this will help Celestia GREATLY" (frowns at all you people who think Celestia is a troll)

"Twilight, it's getting kinda late, are you gonna stay up again?" Spike asked. "Not as

late as last night but I might have to stay up to get this spell working," she flipped open

the book. "AHAHA and you know what? it was ALL about the oatmeal... I thought it was

crazy at first but it TOTALLY makes sense now!" Pinkie Pie's voice could be heard

outside from Twilight's window. Twilight climbed up to the window and opened it. "Hey

Pinkie Pie... what are you doing out so late? And... who is that pony?" Twilight looked

at the group and she noticed AppleBloom and the new pony. "This is a really really

super super old old friend of mine!" PinkiePie jumped up to the window and was face to

face with Twilight Sparkle now. "Hey... I think I know you?" Tiger looked up at Twilight,

"you were with Princess Celestia as her selected student right?" Twilight blinked a few

seconds and asked, "how did you know?" "I used to live in Canterlot too... while I was

training to be a gaurd" Tiger brushed the back of his mane with his left hoof. “Well

welcome to PonyVille… I am sure it’s quite the change of scenary from Canterlot,

but you have got to excuse me… I have to get back to this spell, have a good evening,”

Twilight nodded her head as she closed the window. “Twilight do you know that guy?”

Spike asked. “I know I’ve seen him somewhere before,” Twilight Sparkle thought out loud.

“Ah wonder what’s got her in such a hurry?” Apple Bloom asked Pinkie Pie, “oh you know

Twilight! She’s always hitting those books… I still think she should read them” she stood there a moment pondering and quickly changed the subject, “Tiger you went to Canterlot?” “Yeah… I’ve been around equestria…” he paused at the uncomfortable subject, he thought about it for a moment and shook his head, “I’ll tell you about it later though, we should really get going though your sis is probably really worried about you not being home yet” Tiger turned his head to Apple Bloom who’s eyes grew wide. “YOU’RE RIGHT!” she took off in a hurry. “We’d better hurry too,” Tiger motioned for Pinkie Pie to follow.

“Apple Bloom, where in tarnation have you been? Ah send you to get a few cupcakes and ya disappear for more then an hour?” a orange pony with a cowboy hat and blond hair was scolding Apple Bloom. “Aw.. don’t be so hard on her Apple Jack,” Tiger came down the road towards the farm, “besides we were with her”. Pinkie Pie jumped along, “guess who? Guess who?” Apple Jack looked suspiciously at Tiger. “Yer new here… aren’t ya?” “Mmmm… nope” Tiger shook his head. “…” Apple Jack stared. “Sigh…” Tiger shrugged at Pinkie Pie. “Funny… you used to always talk about the pony who got you that hat a long time ago..” Pinkie Pie helped with a cheerful smile. “Mah hat?” Apple Jack paused as she grabbed it with a hoof and held it, “…it was given to me by a precious friend a very long time ago, he spent all his hard earned bits to get me this hat and disappeared after that” Apple Jack looked up at Tiger Dusk who looked away with a small smile. “It’s kinda nice to see you kept it in such a nice shape Apple Jack” he said quietly. “Mah stars…” Apple Jack walked over and softly nuzzled him, “yer back”. “…” Tiger turned a very bright orange, “uh umm yeah!” he smiled nervously. “That’s what I was tryin to tell you SIS!” Apple Bloom cried out. “Ya still should’ve been back sooner! Ah was worried about you!” Apple Jack turned around back to her little sister, “ah well.. the important thing is that your home and sound safe, thanks Pinkie and Tiger” Apple Jack smiled. “No problem!” Pinkie Pie bounced up and down. “You stayin anywhere Tiger?” Apple Jack asked Tiger who paused to think and realized that he hadn’t thought about that. “Uh… actually” Tiger looked down at his hooves for his stupidity. “Say no more, you can stay here,” she ran around behind Tiger and started pushing him towards the farm. “Are you sure..?” “Ah won’t take NO for an answer” Apple Jack gave him another gentle push as she turned around to Pinkie Pie. “Thanks again fer the cupcakes sugarcube” Apple Jack smiled. “Hope you like them! TIGER remember we gotta have that party!!!” Pinkie Pie waved as she turned around and skipped for home. “See ya Pinkie!” Apple Bloom waved as she followed her sister and Tiger into the farm. “Big Macintosh you ain’t gonna belive who I found outside!” Apple Jack exclaimed as she opened the door to the house behind the large red barn. “Naw… it couldn’t be?” the big red pony lifted a eye brow and walked towards Tiger. “Eeeeeeyup?” Tiger grinned. “Commere little bro!” he laughed as he gave Tiger a noogie. “Hee hee” Tiger laughed. “Ya got some might big explainin to do mister,” Apple Jack looked at Tiger with a small frown. “I guess I do.. don’t I?” he looked at the family. “Oh… before I begin where’s Granny Smith?” he looked around. “She’s upstairs sleepin, you can say ‘hi’ tomorrow” Big Mac nodded. “Ok.. so here’s my story…” Tiger took a deep breath.
