Zizzy & Pony • When We Crossed Paths

Chapter 1 : Pony's Past

  This took place when Pony was just a little kid. He was extremely shy and never felt comfortable with anyone outside of his family. His mom, a nurse. And his dad, an ophthalmologist. He was an only child, which caused him to feel lonely most times.

It was his first day of kindergarten, his Mother was going to drop him off. When they arrived, Pony started to tear up. He hated the fact that he was going to be with complete strangers.

"C'mon, Pony..You'll meet new friends. I'm sure you'll have plenty of fun." His mother said calmly, trying to cheer him up. If you saw him, it looked like he was wanted to escape from his own body and run away. His pale green eyes filled with tears as he looked down to the floor. They were many children waiting for their teachers to come and pick them up. The other kids in his class were already on line, cheerfully talking to each other and already making new friends. Pony can already tell this was going to be a bad year.

An orange fox turned around and saw Pony about to cry, while his mother knelt down and tried to comfort him, reassuring everything was gonna be fine. He decided to walk up to him and try to cheer him up.

"Hi!" He said, smiling ear to ear. Pony looked up, confused. He saw an orange fox looking at him. He had a bushy tail and deep, brown eyes.

"Hello.." Pony said shyly. Pony's mom looked at the fox, with a small smile of relief on her face. She didn't think that someone would go out of there way to talk to him. He noticed that Pony still looked sad, then an idea came to his head.

"My name is Foxy!" He said cheerfully

"Oh..My names Pony"

"Wanna be friends?"

"Friends..?"

"Yeah!" Foxy said, smiling widely again. Pony smiled at him. Tears were no longer in his eyes. Pony's mom looked relieved as they went on line together and started to chat. It was only Pony's first day of school, and he had already met a friend.

The class arrived in the classroom, as the teacher cheerfully led the kids to there seats. She was a Gazelle, with a bright purple dress with short, straight hair. The children were separated until color groups. There was a red, green, orange, and purple group. Fortunately, Pony and Foxy ended up in the same group. They were in the green group, along with a cat and an panda. Foxy and Pony were happily talking to each other, getting to know one another. The two girls looked at the boys sideways, exchanging glances, like as they couldn't understand what they were talking about. The two decided to jump into the conversation, maybe making friends with the two.

"Hello!" The panda said, smiling. "I'm Pandy! Whats your guys names?" Pony turned around and looked at the Panda.

"Oh..Hello. I'm Pony.And that's my friend Foxy." He mumbled, but still loud enough for them to hear him. The word "friend" was a new word that he never used much. The cat grinned and said "I'm Kitty!", like she was proud she was named that. "Do you guys wanna be friends?" She asked cheerfully.

"Sure!" Foxy said smiling. "We can all be best friends!"

"Really? That'll be so cool!" Pandy said, excited. Pony just nodded his head. He still didn't really feel comfortable with them yet, but he knew he was stuck with them. The classroom filled with chatter, as if everyone but Pony was talking. Its not like he didn't want to be friends with them, its just he was too shy to say anything. Foxy noticed Pony looked like he was going to cry again. Foxy was a little upset, but then he thought of an idea.

"Hey, Pony?"

"Yeah..?"

"Do you like cars?"

Pony nodded his head, while a small smile formed on his face.

"Do you guys want to go over there?" Said Kitty, pointing to the toy area. Some other kids were already there playing. They were about to all go and play, but Madam Gazelle sat all the kids back in their seats. She thought it'll be a good idea for all the kids to introduce themselves, since they would be together throughout elementary school.

By the time all the kids chatted with each other and got to know one another, it was lunch time. Pony started to warm up to the others, well, at least in his group. He was talking a lot more then first period. By the end of the day, Pony had already met 3 friends on his first day of school. He ran to his mom at dismissal, smiling widely. His mother was happy, but more relieved that her son won't be lonely anymore. She waved at who seems like Foxy's sister as her and Pony walked out of the building.

Little did Pony know, him and his friends will be going through a lot in the next couple of years..
