Power Ten

(how tall are you? I'm 6'3")

(you're tall too? Tall people are awesome)

(it requires mind-boggling amounts of coffee. Coffee... Coffee everywhere)

(muahahahahaha, going to school on 2 hours of sleep.)

(man it's hard to sleep when you're sick, also, don't you mean hoofs him a paintbrush? Or is she lyra in disguise?) Ten can't help but grin at this mare. *she is quite the helper today...* after wiping his eyes, he states simply, "I am a horrible artist." but he went ahaid and took the brush anyways. About two hours later, Ten finishes painting. He holds it up to admire it. It's a very rough painting of fluttershy as a filly in his orphanage.

Power Ten gazed at the paintings before taking a seat. "I don't know where to start, so I'll just go from the beginning." Ten rook a second to gather his thoughts. "I was born in cloudsdale, my mother was a beautiful pegasus and my father was a zebra. I never saw my father, but my mom used to tell me (life is like a box of chocolates, lol no) stories about him until she passed when I was 5 years old. I was an orphan, and life was hard. There weren't many other orphans, and fewer still of those who would be seen with the colt who can't fly. There was one who did talk to me, and she couldn't fly very well either... We were the best of friends until..." Ten stopped short as he struggled to hold his composure. He hated that memory, that he'd never see her again. Ten couldn't rake it anymore, he just list it right in this mare's house. The floodgates were open as he remembered his only friend, her pink mane and yellow coat... (just reread my little dashie, so im in the mood for sad writing... Sad Ten is sad. ) (sh*t it is late. Or early... Idk bedtime zzzzzzzz)

"nothing... I... It's... I... I'm tired... I don't know what I'm doing. I don't even remember where my things are..." Ten was confused and sad, it was obvious in his eyes. "I... I don't know what I'm doing anymore.".he admitted sadly "I wander aimlessly, drifting to find my purpose, but I don't know if I ever will." Power Ten wasn't necesarily talking to Splash, but more to himself. It felt good to finally get it out of his system

Ten was at flight school, picking himself up from another fall. A group of colts flew just overhead. "wow ten, that's gotta be the ten thousandth time that you've eaten it!" taunted the colts. One walked up and shoved Power Ten over. "make that ten thousand and one!" sneered the boy. Hot tears were now freely streaming down Ten's face in his dream as well as on Splashes doorway. He suddenly jerked awake from the poking. "yes?" he said in a shaky voice, face slightly wet. (geez that was depressing)

Ten was thoroughly tired as he pulled his boat up to the shore after a short, but hard row. He glances up and sees Splash flying lazily over the lake. A He goes to call to her, but decides against it and allows her to enjoy her flight while he begins to make the long trek back to the square. After 20 minutes of walking, he was too tired to continue, so he just flopped down on the street. "asphalt never felt so good" he mumbled before passing out in front of Splash's house. (wierd co-inky-dink right? And that's wonderful with the vomiting ;D)

"Um... Ok! I guess I'll see you later" Ten wasn't sure what to do, so he just beat his wings a few times and he was speeding off in his boat (so jealous X( my parents are too hard on me.)

(I just realized that tomorrow is Monday fml)

"wow, thanks!" Ten was wearing a huge smile on his face now "nopony has ever really done anything nice for me... so um... Thanks. I'll uh... Make it up to you sometime." Ten sputtered out as he mounted his boat. *celestia I'm so awkward* (it's 11:30 over here)

"help me set it down in the water, and we have to be careful, it's one of a kind." said a proud Power Ten

(I have to go to sleep soon... I hate being sick)

"yeah, if you could help me with this" Ten gestured to his boat "that would be great" *what am I saying? I don't need help! I've done this tons of times!* Ten thought as he was kicking himself again mentally.

Ten Let out a small sigh as he began to walk after her (he was walking all day with a boat and supplies, so he was pretty tired). He had to run to catch up. *not being able to fly really sucks* he thought for the millionth time in his life.

"oh, I'm looking for a lake," he stated. Ten was still a little apprehensive, but he was already starting to warm up to this mare. "you wouldn't happen to know where I could find one?"

Power Ten instantly felt a sense of unease. He hadn't ever been very good with strangers. "umm hi, I'm Power Ten," he managed to mumble. "it's... Umm... Nice to meet you?" Ten was blushing furiously from emberassment.

Ten gets up to search for somewhere to put his boat. He passes by a group of houses, which appears to be unoccupied aside from a white mare. Ten coughs as he passes the mare. "excuse me" he mumbles almost inaudibly. "Are there any lakes around here?"

Power Ten looks up from his dinner to take in his surroundings. The square is mostly empty now... Ten sighs softly, he's not quite sure what's wrong, but he feels a sudden wave of longing and sadness as he goes back to eating his dinner.

I hope that I'm not too late to join in... Name: Power Ten Age: 16 (almost 17) Stallion Pegasus Appearance/Picture: My Profile pic Personality: Outwardly a loner. Wants to make good friends, but is scared of rejection. He's got an eccentric side. Interests/Hobbies: Inventing, Writing, Boating and Exercise Biography: Power Ten is different from many pegasi due to the fact that he can't fly. He had a head injury as a foal which caused his sense of balance while in flight to disappear. Because of his inability to fly, he was subject to a lot of bullying and ridicule. He briefly befriended Fluttershy before running away from cloudsdale and drifting across equestria. Although he sustained a head injury as a foal, he is a borderline genious and has a knack for inventing. While living near a lake, he discovered his love of water and invented a small, thin racing boat so that he could go fast like the racers from cloudsdale without flying. His boat revolves around the use of his wings to move. Cutie Mark: His boat design in miniature. Boat looks like this: Ten strolls slowly into Ponyville with his boat strapped to his back and his few posessions gently clattering against each other at his side. "I suppose that this town is as good as any" he mutters to himself. He starts looking around ponyville for a place to set up camp. He eventually settles down next to the fountain in the town square and goes about setting up his cooking fire and bedroll.
