Sides of the Same Coin

... then there's love...

Max woke up again, this time was at night. He slowly rose himself up and find that his sore's almost gone. He found gauze wrapped around his right hoof. He tries to move his left hoof, but couldn't budge. Not only that, there was warmth and pressure on his left hoof. He turned his head to find that he was next to Scootaloo... and closer than he should.


"Oh, buck."

"Dude, if you'er not going to buck her, I will."

"Oh, you're back..."

"Hey, I'm just trying to protect you, ok? It's better if you, that pegasus, or anyone doesn't know where you're from. Trust me. Now then, for that flank-"

"Xam, don't you bucking dare-"

"And what's going to stop me?"

"Me."

"HA. I laugh at that threat."

"Seriously, please don't do it."

"What, it's not like you like her, right?"

"..."

"Oh, Celestia. ARE YOU BUCKING KIDDING ME!? YOU LIKE HER!? You don't even know her for a full DAY!!!"

"It's not like that, ok? I mean... what would she think of me if I do that to her!"

"I will; not you."

"With my body!"

"Hey, the blame's on you. Not me."

"I let you off the hook for the yelling, but if you even touch a single strand of her hair-"

"What, that purple mess? Pu~lease, I wouldn't even touch that rat's nest with a 10 foot pole."

"Her hair is beautiful!"

"Coming from the guy that likes her? Yea, that sums it up."

"I don't like her!"

"Dude, you're me and I'm you. We practically share the same feelings. Your's is romantic (kill me), while I'm all about that flank that will be up all over this D!"

"Ok, one: Aww, thank you; And second: YOU'ER DISGUSTING!"

"Hey, like I said: You're me and I'm you. We are male. We have two heads. You take the top while I take over the *elbows* *elbows* *wink* *wink* *points down*"

"Don't you dare-"

"Look! Erect, cringe, erect, cringe, erect, cringe, ere-"

"Stop it!"

"-ct, cringe, erect, precum!"


Max covered his private, hoping that Scootaloo wouldn't wake. Sadly, because Max moved his left hoof,Scootaloo woke up, stretching. "Oh, hey Max," said Scootaloo as she finished stretching, "You'er up. Good, cause I was getting worried."
"Yea. Hey, what time is it," Max asked, hoping to stall Scootaloo long enough to convince Xam to settle down. Luckily, Xam obliged.

Scootaloo looked around and saw the clock."Um, it's 6:30 A.M. Just in time for the sunrise. Hey Max, wanna come with me to see the sunset? There's a hill over here that's great for the scenery. It's really cool."

"That sounds nice. Sure, why not. I need to move after not moving for so long."

With that, Max and Scootaloo walked to the hill and waited. Max noticed that there are trees bearing apples as far as the eye can see. He decided to take one since he was hungry from not eating for what is now four days. He gently bucked a tree making a perfect apple fall down. He picked up the apple and takes a bite. The sweat taste of the apple filled his mouth. With every bite, a new splash of sweet, sweet apple taste takes over his mouth. Next thing he knew, he had inhaled three apples and was on his way for the forth one.

As he was finishing his forth one, they were already at the hill. Max was about to start on his fifth apple when he heard a low growl. He turned his head to the direction of the noise, only to find out that it came from Scootaloo's tummy. "Whoops. Heh, sorry 'bout that. I haven't ate yet," Scootaloo said with a blush.

"Haha, it's ok. Here take it," Max said, tossing the apple to Scootaloo. Scootaloo caught the apple, looked at Max, then back at the apple, and devoured the apple. When she finished, she looked up to Max, finding out that he was holding back his laughter.

"Hey! Stop laughing," Scootaloo shouted.

"Sorry, sorry. It's just... it's so funny watching you eat. It's kinda cute, really." Max replied. Realizing what he said for the last part, Max suddenly blushed and quickly tries to think of an escape plan.

"So, er, when will the sun rise?" Max asked, trying to change the subject.

Then, as if on cue, Celestia's sun rose sending a wide spread of yellow and light to the big blue sky.

"It's...it's beautiful," Max said. Seeing the sunrise gave him... something. He can't put his hoof on it, but seeing the sunrise made him feel... warm inside.

"Yea, it's cool, isn't it?"

"Yea. Hey, I was wondering: What are you doing today?" Max asked, out of curiosity.

"Hmm? School, why?"

"I got nothing else to do, so I might as well go where ever you go." It's true. Max has nowhere else to go. According to Xam, he was chased out of his home. He has nothing to do; nowhere else to go. Unless, that is, if Scootaloo agrees if he can come with her to school.

Scootaloo thought for a moment, then said, "Sure. That way, I can introduce you my two other friends."

"Cool. Can't wait." Max replied. He can't wait to meet two other ponies. Except that the two he will meet in the future will be his worst enemies.
