The paper had absolutely nothing in it as it was boring as hell. I let go of the paper, ate the glass mug, and threw the donut at waitress screaming 'SATAN MADE ME DO IT!' and walked out of the coffee shop. Come to think of it, I don't even like coffee. Well, it would have been nice if I had got what he looked like. Oh well. When I see that bastard, I'll give him a reason to fuck with Twilight... litterly... still, I can't believe that I wasn't her first. Kinda saddens me. Now that I think of it, again, why am I here? Something about... something. I came to the... fixed door? She must have fixed it. I came to the door and opened it to see, once again, blackness. "Tw-" "LAN!!!" HIM!!! I completely ignored the stairs and flew to the room. There was Twilight, the same old Twilight, but scared. "Where is he." I said, lowering myself. As my hooves felt the floor, my magic felt my needs, granting my wish and searched the room with a pulse of white magic. Nothing. My magic stopped pulsing and resumed a faint humming in my left ear. Very annoying but everytime I use magic, I get a weird humming in my ear. I jumped on the bed with Twilight and laid beside her. I climbed on her carefully, feeling her body shake. She was deffently scared. I nuzzled her on her snout (the feels weird to type) and gently said to her; "It will be okay." "I know..." Twilight said. Her eyes looked downward and she put the pillow on her head. I took the liberty and took it off of her. I laid it aside and and rested my head on hers. "If anything is-" "Nothing is." Twilight said with a small wimper. I sighed. This is going nowhere. "It looks like you've seen a ghost." "I haven't. Just a little shaken up." And bingo was his name... o... "And why is that?" "Its nothing. Well, are you hungry?" Trying to change the subject? Well, I shouldn't be hacking away at her privacy. I'll leave this alone for now. "Sure!" ~~~~~~~ Roots POV I took off my helmet for the night. The are was getting colder and the freezing helmet wasn't helping my ears. Fluttershy was complaining about the ears... always the ears... well, to be honest, I know she is just looking out for me but... always the ears. I turned and looked out by the window to see the sun setting. Such a beautiful sunset, only the window to be separating me from her. I'm always working, never a rest. I wish I could spend a day with her. Just one would be enough. I do need the money but Equestria doesn't have any of those laws were workers get breaks, atleast for guards. The moon was rising from its much needed rest, as it rises from the- "Dude, are you ok?" Blue said. GAH! "Oh... ya... i'm... i'm ok." I quickly stopped looking at the window and resumed my position, right in front of the kings chair. Blue pressed on even more. "You sure? You seem, distant?" "I haven't really had any time to myself recently, but i'm ok." If only... "Root... Will... do you need a day off?" "I'm good. Gotta pay the bills, and all." Wait... shit I hope he di- "Bills, Will?" That kinda rhymed... "You know, a joke. Hehe." "I don't think so William. Are you seeing someone?" GAH! Shit, Fluttershy told me to keep it a secret because she felt she wasn't ready for other pony's to know. I guess she is really shy... "Well, no." "Don't lie to me William. I don't like being lied too." I never noticed how threatening Blue is. Well... "Ya... but I can't tell you who." "Fluttershy." WHA... WHAT!!! How did he... "You smell like animals and AJ isn't a mare that cheats." ... "Ya... just don't tell anyone." "Have to week off. Spend time with her." Out of all the people, I would think that Zero would find out first. Well, if i'm going to have this week off, I might as well spend it with Fluttershy. I mean, how could I not? Haha. "Thanks, man!" Blue smiled back, "No prob!" I snapped my neck and flew out the back window, heading straight for Fluttershys house. ~~~~~~~ I landed myself right in front of the door of Fluttershy. I knocked twice and came in, surprised by the sudden yellow blob knocking me against the ground, barely. "WHA?" "Did you tell anyone?" Fluttershy whimpered a bit. I could overpower her easily but at times like this, I just let her do what she needs to do. I laid back and smiled. "No babe. It's all good." Hopefully she bought it. She shook her head. "Someone found out. I know you told someone." She didn't buy it. "Look, it's ok." I wrapped my arms around her neck. "Babe, just calm down." I could feel her breathing heavily, and her eyes were filled with fear. "Ok, I didn't tell, but Blue fou-" "HOW?!" Fluttershy screamed, well, what you would call normally talking. "He just found out!" "..." "..." "I'm sorry..." I laughed, "Don't be. Look, lets get to bed." ~~~~~~~ SOOooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo fucking boring.... luckily, the next chapter is going to be fun... hehehe.... hHAHAHhahHshahAHAHahAHAhA Oh and for specific reasons, my editor Ice hasn't been on in a while. I need a backup. Any one in?
