//------------------------------// // Ponyville Part 1 // Story: Knowing You Can Change // by hcnation123 //------------------------------// On a train to Ponyville, thats someplace I thought I would never go. Not only because I was a wanted criminal, but, because its the home of the Elements of Harmony. I mean, I know they helped save me and what is left of my race, but, there are still some hard feelings. It took a few hours to get there but here we are, at the train station, and my hooves couldn't be shaking any harder. It wasn't the feeling of fear, but, anxiousness. I knew what the stares were like in Canterlot, but to be in the enemies home town, was absolutely frightening. Spike had brought the kids with him, saying something about a Rose flower or something, I couldn't hear I was to busy trying to walk again. We had gotten off the train and people were already looking, though to my confusion, and relief, not me but at Spike. Many ponies greeting him and Photo Finish, I took this chance to stroll away. I wasn't being stared at, it felt weird, I was a few kids looking at me weirdly but that was about it. Spike had told me a few of the things this town has gone through in his time being here but this is impressive. Suddenly I smacked into something and fell. A southern drawl came to my ears as I looked up to see Applejack staring down at me, "Y'all alright?" she said. 'I don't know what they feed this pony but she is built like a brick wall.' I thought then said, "I am quite alright, just shocked is all. You seem to be.." as I stood. "Quite sturdy, yea I get that a lot, years of living on a farm will do that to you. So, You and Spike ready for ya punishment." I looked at her, "And what will this punishment be?" "Oh, nothing, just some farm work I need done is all." she said with a smile, and by the gods she just expels the truth. A few hours later the sun had set, and I was exhausted. The farm work was backbreaking and straining, the sun just couldn't take a hint, dammit Celestia why torture me as such? My saving grace, the shade under the trees, my other saving grace, watching Spike working. The way he moved, and the way his muscles seemed to shine in the sun everytime he punched a tree to knock the apples out of it was just maddening. There was a fire in my loins, and there was only one person who could fix it. I had gained the strength to go to the barn where Spike was, though when I got there I was met with Photo Finish. She turned to speak with me. "Oh, hello." she said with a smile smile. "Enjoy your punishment?" "Shut up." I simply said as she covered her mouth to stifle her giggling. "That was absolutely horrid, Iam one for keeping a fit and heathy lifestyle but that sort of work should only be given to the most hardened of criminals. With that she erupted in laughter then fell back onto some hay. "I saw you staring at Spike." she said to me causing my blush to rise. "Yes, and? He is my fiance, I can look how hard I want." I said in amatter of fact tone. "No need of hostility, I was staring too. I actually came to fine him, but I guess I got here too late. Besides, don't you know how hard he can get" "Same here, I have needs and only he can satisfy them. That and I am starving I could use a bit of love." I suddenly found myself on my back as soon as I finished the sentence and a hungry Photo Finish strattling me. The ever present blush on my face grew as she leaned forward and our lips touched. By the gods she is an excellent kisser, I found myself wrappingmy hooves around her, my toungue begging for entrance and suddenlt the door opened. I was snapped out of my euphoria by the sound of a throat clearing. we both pulled away and looked to see Spike closing the doors to the barn. "Don't stop on my account." he said as he came closer. I took his words and re entered the make out that meand Photo Finish had started. That night was probably the greatest of my life, I had never felt so loved or made so much of it. PRESENT TIME "Mom, mom, why did you stop after you said'That and I am starving and I could use a bit of love.'?" Chrysalis just laid there eye twitching with a weird smile on her face not moving even to the small pushes Frame Rate was applying trying to get her attention. "Mom, are you okay?" he was getting a bit woorried and bolted out of the room and toward the front lawn where Spike was just getting back. "Dad! Mom has this weird look on her face and wont move!" he was clearly scared as he ran around the dragon. "Show me." Spike said in a panic as he follow Frame Rate to Chryssys room. Spiked stared at the face she was making and looked down to Frame Rate. "Tell your mother to come here and take Fire Flower to a friends for the night." hesaid his ees expresing the urgency as Frame Rate ran. After a few moment Photo finish had come carrying a box labeled 'A little bit of love face' "Ready?" Photo asked as she went into the room. "Yea." he followed after taking a deep breathe and going in to get the job done, an maybe recieve a few.
