It was a beautiful, sunny day in Ponyville. The sun was shining, the birds were singing, and the weather patrol had done a good job keeping the skies clear. There were plenty of ponies out and about enjoying time with their friends and family and meeting new people. All the ponies were enjoying each other's company, all except for one stallion. There was an average sized stallion with a red coat and a straight, flat brown mane that would spend his time in the observatory keeping to himself and his studies. Today he was outside for once, looking for supplies, since he was nearly out. He walked slowly down the cobblestone road, his wandering, nervously, watching everypony's movements. He feared confrontation and hoped it would be an easy trip to the shops and back. This all changed when suddenly another stallion, who was not paying attention to the road either, smacked into him, knocking them both to the ground.



"I'm extraordinarily sorry," Said the red colt picking up his rucksack off the ground and placing it neatly on to his back. "Is there anything I could do to m-make it up to you s-sir?" The other, much larger, caramel colored stallion got back on his hoofs, rubbing his head. "It's fine... Really, I wasn't paying attention," replied the other colt, still rubbing his forehead, "If it's anypony's fault, it's mine." The other colt just looked at him frightfully. "No, no. I was trotting on the wrong s-side of the road." The red colt had gotten back up but slowly backed away from the hulking Stallion. "Sorry, I'll just go," He said nervously. The caramel colt put his hoof out to stop him.



"You didn't tell me your name," He said with a smile, "It would be awfully rude of me not to ask, especially after knocking into you like that." The caramel colt stood up, tall and proud, the sun practically sparkling in his straight, blonde mane. The red colt stopped in his tracks and blushed in shock. "I- it's Sedna and y-you are?" Sedna whisked his long brown mane out of his face and looked up at Caramel colored colt in awe of his stature. "I'm Grumman, pleasure to meet you," Grumman replied, putting his hoof out. Grumman looked down and admired the smaller framed colt. His mane full and flush and he had the most gorgeous blue eyes. Sedna slowly walked towards the impressive stallion reaching out and shaking his hoof, "Nice to meet you, too."
