Chapter One: The New Pony

Heys guys and say hello to my first story.

Hopefully I hit the characters personalities right and don't make it too over the top or cheesy. ENJOY.

Twilight Sparkle was walking along the road, headed for Sugarcube Corner with Rainbow Dash, on their way to pick up Pinkie for their latest slumber party they were planning. Suddenly, Twilight heard a rustle in the bushes.

"Got it!" Rainbow Dash yelled, and leapt onto it. There was a yelp of fright and shock as she was blasted out by a blast of golden magic. Scared, Twilight fired back. A crimson pony with a golden mane, tail, and horn leapt out as the bush turned into an orange.

"Hey! I'm not doing you any harm, so leave me alone!" he cried, as he spun round ready to fight.

"Yeah, not doing any harm..." grumbled Rainbow, picking herself up.

"Hey!" the unicorn said in surprise. "You're Twilight Sparkle and Rainbow Dash! Just the ponies I was looking for!"

Rainbow and Twilight looked at each other.

"You see, I need your help. A changeling is roaming Equestria, disguised as me. It wants to eliminate me so it can take my place!"

"Why does it want you dead?" Twilight enquired"

"Because I'm the one ponies call "The Changeling Slayer"

At the library the strange unicorn introduced himself as GreatHeart.

"So you slay changelings?"Rainbow asked, then slapped her face as she realised the stupidity of her question.

"Well, why do you think I'm called..."

Rainbow broke in. "yeah, yeah, I get it, what do you want us to do about this changeling following you? Why don't you just slay it?"

"Lets just say its a very powerful changeling" was Greatheart's reply.

-Sugarcube Corner-

Pinkie was jumping up and down across the room (and the ceiling), getting impatient as her friends hadn't turned up.

"If they don't turn up then I can't go with Them and if I can't go with them then I can't go to their slumber party and that means I won't be at the slumber party and that means it won't have Pinkie Pie and that means it won't be as fun and that means...EEK!" She bolted out the door after completely and utterly baffling the Cakes with that statement.

Pinkie zoomed along towards the library at full speed but then smacked against something and bounced off, landing on the ground. She looked around to see a golden force field blocking her path. She looked behind her to see it was behind her as well. In fact, she was completely surrounded by the force field. She felt herself being lifted in the air as a crimson pony with a golden mane, tail and horn appeared. His cutie mark was a golden heart with a sword behind it. He glared at her.

"You're coming with me" he growled, the ran into the forest, pulling Pinkie Pie in her golden bubble with him into the darkness.
