"Come on Star, you can't sit around all day" Your father says from the other side of the room "I don't feel like doing anything right now" You respond "You've been sitting there doing nothing for the last three weeks" Your mother adds "Sorry but I did just get out of a prefect relationship" you say raising your voice slightly "I know its hard coming out of a relationship" your mother says walking towards over to you "but maybe a walk around the city might clear your head" "I guess you're right, I'll visit Rose Beat" you say rolling of the sofa "I'll be back soon" You say walking towards the front door You shut the door and fly your way to towards your sisters apartment You land in front of the apartment building and walk in.

Your head is still on Rose Beat shoulder while she strokes your mane "Do you ever wish you could go back in time and stop yourself from doing stupid stuff?" you ask "Yes" Rose Beat answers "Like what?" "Well" she stops and thinks "I would stop myself from listening to you and Jack Hammer about that sour candy" Rose Beat say bopping your nose You lift your head of Rose Beat shoulder and start to laugh "It wasn't that funny" she say with a giggle "Yes it was, you should of seen your face" you say while still laughing After a while you stop laughing and relax "What do you wish you could stop yourself from doing?" Rose Beat ask "I would stop myself from falling in love" you say with a depressed face Rose Beat notices how upset you are and she gets up and goes to what she likes to call 'The Music Room' She comes out with a guitar and sits down next to you again She starts to tune up the guitar and she clears her throat Just imagine a girl singing this You smile at your sister and she smiles back and she gives you a little hug "Do you think maybe I could spend the night here?" You ask "Of course you can, but why? "Because I don't feel like going back to Mum and Dad and there millions of questions like 'How are you feeling?' 'Are you alright?' Are you over her yet?' bla bla bucking bla" you explain "Language" "Sorry" "Would you like a cup of tea?" Rose beat asks "Please" You toss and turn on the sofa with a blanket and a pillow under your head.

Rose Beats "I don't know, I guess I was remembering what happened in ponyville" you say then take a bite out of a cookie and drink some milk "Will you ever go back there?" You stay silent Rose Beat looks at you with worried eyes "I don't think anyone wants me back" you say finishing a cookie "But I can't say I don't regret going there, It was my little adventure" you say with a reassuring smile Your sister smiles back at you After you finished all cookies and drank the glass of milk you start to feel light headed and fall back onto your pillow "Always works" you hear your sister say before you fall asleep You lift your head off your pillow and see Rose Beat sitting in her arm chair reading a magazine "Morning little brother" She say with a smile "Morning" you say rubbing your eyes "What's the time?"

You come to a stop and look at your second favorite food store. number one being sugar cube corner. You start to wonder weather or not to get something to eat. You shrug and walk in with your head down The bell rings as you walk in You walk over to the counter "What can I get you?" A mare you looks about a two years younger then you asks "Just a strawberry cupcake please" "Coming right up cutie" she says with a wink and walks to the back You roll your eyes She come with your cupcake and places it on the counter "That's be three bits please" You place three bit on the counter and take the cupcake "STARGAZER!!"

You walk over to a table and sit down. Altair take the opposite to you "Well it's a long story" You finish telling your story to Altair who has a mixed reaction on his face "That must of been hard coming out of that relationship" He says "It was" "So you guys actually...you know...did it?" he ask You nod your head slowly "Wow" You finish your cupcake. It's not as good as sugarcube corners "So what about you, what have you been going?" you ask "Little this, Little that.....Star Constellations" he say "You're the smartest pony I know, but you say the most stupidest stuff sometimes" "I know" He says with a smile "And that's what I love about you" You look at the clocks that's placed on the wall You get up from your seat "I'll see you around" you say to Altair You hoof bump and you walk towards the door You walk out of the stop and walk down the street Soon you get tackled to the ground You open your eyes to see wine colored irises looking back at you > Good Dreams and Bad Dreams > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- (A/N: Wow...40 favorites and 14 comment in a matter of dayz <-- see what I did a gave it a z....make it more hip) Chapter 2 You lay on the concrete in shock from what your seeing. On top of you is a cyan pegasus mare with rainbow mane and tail with a cloud with a rainbow lighting bolt for a cutie mark. "StarGazer I'm SOSOSOSOOSOSOSOSOSO sorry" She says lighting fast with kisses and hugs Your still in shock from whats happening so you stay silent You get another sudden shock when you feel a pair of soft lips press against yours. Your eyes widen in more shock. Dash brakes the kiss and gives you the biggest hug you have ever receive. The hug was bigger then when a mare from your school who had a MASSIVE crush on you. She finally had the courage to ask you out and you said yes. "Dash what are you doing here?" You finally mange to say She lets go of you allowing you get up from the concert and into a sitting position "I'm here because I wanted to say that I'm sorry, I should off listened to what you had to say instead of listening to myself and assuming the worst" She says with an upset tone You look at her with smile. The fact she came all this way to say sorry and she admitting her mistake brings some light into your dark place You don't say anything you walk up to her and you pull her into a hug. You fell her return the hug "Awww" another voice says You look over to see five more ponies standing in front of you. Twilight, AppleJack, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie and Rarity A little bit of rage comes into you You brake the hug and look at them with an angry look "Star, whats the matter?" Dash asks standing beside you "I guess I'll never catch my brake will I?" You say the five ponies "What?" AppleJack asks "Let me guess you probably followed Dash here and tried to convince her that I'm not worth it" You say walking over to them with a hint of rage in your voice Fluttershy backs off and hinds behind AppleJack "No, we came to apologize" Rarity says "Oh let me have another guess. You all regret what you said to me?" They all nod "And you came to apologize because you all saw in the letter that you drove me away" you say getting angrier The nod again "WELL I DON'T BUCKING NEED YOUR APOLOGY!!" you shout "StarGazer, don't you know you should never speak to a mare with that language" Rarity says "I DON'T GIVE A FLYING FEATHER ABOUT MY LANGUAGE!!" "Why are you acting like this?" Twilight asks "WELL THE FACT THAT YOU TREATED ME LIKE DIRT FOR A WEEK MIGHT HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH IT!!!" you shout louder which cause some pony to turn there heads "And where sorry sugar cube. But we-" "Oh your sorry, well I guess that makes every time you shouted into my ear disappear!" Your face gets redder and redder Rainbow Dash steps in front of you "We'll be right back" she say to her friends and then grabs you and pulls you to the nearest alleyway You sit in an alleyway with Dash who you looks at you with a worried look "Are you okay?" Dash say walking over to you and sitting next to you "They've get a lot of nerve thinking that I would just forgive them" you say Dash rest her head on your shoulder "Do you forgive me?" She ask You look at her with a smile "Of chores I do. But..." "But what?" "Save yourself" you say to her "W-What do you mean?" "I'm a failure, Every choice I make is followed by pain or sorrow "DON'T EVER SAY THAT!" Dash yells at you "YOU'RE NOT A FAILURE, YOU BROKE A RECORD FOR THE FILLYDAILPHIA YOUNGEST FAST FLYER COMPETITION. YOU WON THE RELAY RACE BACK AT PONYVILLE WITH YOUR EYES CLOSED" she continues "YOU'RE THE MOST COOLEST, KINDEST, FASTEST PEGASUS I HAVE EVER MET" she shouts even louder and garbs your face "AND THAT'S THE COLT THAT I FEEL IN LOVE WITH" Before you could say anything she locks her lips with your. The two you sit there in passionate kiss. It feels like nothing else in the world matters, it doesn't matter that the fact that your sitting in a dark and damp alleyway all that matters is that your with the mare of your dreams. Dash brake the kiss and looks into your eyes "You're not a failure" she says and then gives you another bug hug You and Dash sit in the alleyway holding each other Dash mumbles something into your chest "What was that?" "I said that I kept having dreams about you" she say looking up at you "Really?" "Mm hmm" she say with a nod "What where they about?" you ask "Well there were the good one where you came back to ponyville" she says with a smile, but the smile didn't last that long "and then there were the bad ones" "Like what?" "There ones where you moved on, ones where you got thrown into Celestia dungeon and they wouldn't let you out no matter how much I begged. Then there's the worst ones of them all" You look at Dash with a worried look "The ones where you killed yourself" she say with tears in her eyes You hold dash even tighter You and Dash sit in the alleyway holding each other tightly You look down at Dash who look up at you "Is there something you wanted to tell me?" you ask She nods "What is it?" "Will you come back to ponyville with me" She asks You take a deep breath "I can't" > Second GoodByes Hurt The Most > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 3 Dash eyes are filled with tears. She's struggling to find words. "W-W-Why not?" She asks with tears running down her face "I just cant, I can't go back. Not after the way everypony treated me back there" You say with tears now in your eyes You look at Dash who looks like her heart has be shattered into a million peaces and no mount of tape can put it back together "But, I.....I" Dash tries to say "Dash" you say grabbing her shoulders "As much as I want to be with you, I just can't go back to ponyville" Dash doesn't say anything. She grabs you and cries into your chest You try to comfort her as much as you can. You run your hoof through her mane, You kiss her on the top of her head. You tried everything, but nothing has worked. No matter what you do she doesn't stop crying. "Whats taking so long?" A southern voice calls out At the opening of the alleyway you see five ponies standing their You look at them with sad eyes and then you back down at Dash who still crying. The five ponies walk over to you and Dash without saying a word "Dashie, are you okay?" asks Pinkie Dash shakes her head while crying in your chest "What happened?" Ask Rarity "I told her that I can't go back to ponyville" you say while looking at them They all look at you in shock "W-Why not?" Ask Twilight "I can't, the way the ponies treated me after they found out about Cloudchaser, they kinda toke it way out of hoof" you say while stroking Dash mane "What did they do?" AppleJack asks "All sort of stuff, I'd rather not talk about it" After what seems like forever Dash finally stop crying and hugs you tight. "Come on Dash we need to get back home" says Applejack putting her hoof on Dash's shoulder "NO!" Dash screams "Dash, You need to-" "NO!" Dash shouts louder cutting you off "I'm not leaving without you" she say with tears coming to her eyes again "Please don't cry again, you need to be strong about this" you say "But I don't want to go and never hear from you again" "I promise you will hear from me" "How?" Dash asks the tears still in her eyes "I'll write to you, I write to you everyday, I'll tell you whats happening and tell you how i've been" you say to her Dash wipes her face and sniffs "You promise?" Dash ask You nod "Pinkie promise" she say with a demanding voice "Cross my hear, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in m eye" you say crossing your heart "Dash" Twilight say "We need to go" Dash gives a small nod and get up onto her hoofs "Will you at least walk with us to the train station?" Dash asks "Of course I will" You, Dash, Twilight, Pinkie, Fluttershy, Applejack and Rarity walk out of the alleyway and walk to the train station. Rainbow Dash stuck close to you not allowing any space to come between the two of you. The seven of you walk into the train station and wait for the train. After a couple of minutes the train starts to show over the horizon. The six elements of harmony turn towards you. "Well, I guess this is good bye" Twilight says braking the silence "Yeah I guess it is" you say "It was nice seeing you again StarStar" Says Pinkie Pie You nod The train come to a stops in front of you all. Twilight, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rarity and Fluttershy get on the train and Dash looks at you "Can I have one last kiss?" Dash ask You nod and walk over to Dash You and Dash lock lips for the last time. You didn't want to end the kiss but you know that soon it would have to end. You brake the kiss and look at each other Tears start to form in yours and Dash's eyes as you look at each other "Write to me as soon as you can" She say "I will, I promise" She turns around and walks onto the train You watch as she walks onto the train and take a seat next to her friends. A part of you want to jump into the train and ride along with them, but you know you can't. The train starts moving and you wave. You can see Dash waving back at you through the window. You head turns slowly as you watch it leave the station. You stand there a watch as the train slowly get farther and farther way. Tears start to run down your face as the train rides over the horizon. Not before long the train was gone. You turn around and walk out of the station with tears still down your face. You walk down the streets of Fillydelphia with your head down low walking back to your house with a wet face and dried eyes. You pull out a key to your house and open the door and walk into the house. You shut the front door and stand in the hallway look at the floor boards "Star, is that you?" You hear your Dad ask "Yeah" you say replying to his question with a sigh You see your mother come out the front room and into the hallway You look up at her with your face still wet "Are you okay?" She asks walking towards you You shake your head "Whats the matter?" "Dash" you say to her walk past her and walking into the living room Your dad is standing in the middle of the room and his eyes follow you "Star are you okay?" He asks You lay down on the sofa and try to bury your face into it "What happened with Dash?"

Both of them have the emotion of sadness and shock. Your mum walk up to you can gives you a hug. You return the hug, knowing that your parents care for you and will always be their for when your down fills you up with a little bit of joy. "I must of hard for you both" she says "Yeah" you say braking the hug "But a least we had a proper good bye this time" you say with a small smile "So what are you going to do now?" Your dad ask "I don't know, but I promised I would write to her" you say to him Your dad nods with a smile You rub your eyes and get off the sofa "I'm gonna catch a few Z's" you say walking towards the stairs "Do you want me to call you when dinners ready?" Your mum asks "I'm not in the mood for eating today" you say and then start to walk up the stairs You open the door to your room and look around. Your room was filled with blue ribbons, certificates, trophies and poster of your favorite race of all time. Jet Stream. Jet Stream was a green Pegasus with a gray mane, he's been your ideal for as long as yo can remember. You lay down on your bed and slowly close your eyes. One single tear runs down your face as you drift off to sleep > Talent Scout > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 4 You sit up from your bed and rub your eyes. Only one problem is that you're not in your bed. In fact, your not anywhere. You seem to be in a white void. You look around to see if their is anyone else around. Five head pop up in front of you. Your eyes widen in shock because the face were very familiar. The face were the five friends of Rainbow Dash. Pinkie, AppleJack, Rarity, Fluttershy and Twilight "Do you feel darkness?" asks AppleJack "Have you thrown your love outside" says Twilight "Do you feel heartless?" ask Rarity "Have you given up on love" says Pinkie "Has someone stolen the sun from the island you've been trapped on?" adds Fluttershy The heads of the five ponies disappear You look around more spinning around in circles and moving your head from side to side looking for where the voices came from. "Hello again StarGazer" a female voice calls out You look up to see her. Your guardian angel descending towards you "W-What the hay was that?" You ask "That was question swimming in the heads of the five ponies" she says You look at your guardian angles with sad. A confused look slaps on to your face "Wait! If your here then.... did I die in my sleep?" You ask with fear "Far from it, Your merely dreaming" she say "Oh" you say getting up onto your hoofs "So what are you doing here?" you ask "I'm hear to ask you something" "Okay, ask away" you say to her "Whats the main reason why you don't want to go back to Ponyville?" "Because of the way that the pony were treating me" you say answering her question She shakes her head "I think it because your scared" she say "Scared? I've never been scared of anything" you say stamping your hoof "Really?" You nod your head "Well what about this" A screen shows up in front of you. It shows your room during a thunder storm -----18 years ago---- You hide shaking under your covers from the thunder storm "Please, Please, Please, Please stop" you say quietly with tears in your eyes You peek you head from under your covers and look around "That me when I was 4 years old" you say to your guardian angles CRACK You jump from your bed and onto the floor with thud You get up from the floor and walk towards your bedroom door. You the door slowly and look around. You slowly exit your room and slowly walk across the floor and make your way to another room. Your parents room You open the door slowly and walk in "Mommy" you say as you walk in "Star? are you okay?" you mum asks with a tired tone in her voice "I...I" CRACK You jump from the sound of the thunder "Are you scared of the storm?" You dad asks "mm hmm" you say nodding your head "Why don't you come a sleep with us tonight" you mother say patting the space in between her and your dad You flap your little wings and fly to the space between them. You lay down in between them and get comfy CRACK You cuddle up to your mother as fast as you could and holding her tight "Goodnight StarGazer" she says and kissing you on the head ------------------------- The screen disappears reveling your guardian angles face with a smirk. "That doesn't count, I was four years old and that was my first time experiencing a storm" you say "Okay well what about this" she say Another screen appears in front of you -----7 years ago---- You stand in the tracks shacking in your hoofs as the other Pegasus stretch there wings and bones "That my first mayor race when I was fifteenth" you say Negative thoughts run through your head while you still shake "You okay Star?" your Dad says standing next to you You nod your head "You don't need to be scared" he say putting a hoof on his shoulder "Dad, Jet Stream is watching, MY IDOL is watching" you say turning your head to him "What if I make a complete fool of myself. Plus nearly everypony in Fillydelphia is here" "Just forget that Jet Stream their, you can do this, I know you can. Me, Your mother, Jack Hammer and Rose Beat will be cheering you on" he say giving a small hug and then walking back to the rest of your family You clear your mind and paperer yourself -------------------------- The screen disappears again You move your eye left to right trying to think of an excuse. A excuse you could think of pops into your head "That called be nervous" you say "Alright, listen to me StarGazer" she says grabbing your shoulders "I know that I can't control your life, but you need to think twice about this decision" You look down at the floor. If there was one that is The guardian angle flaps her wings and fly away You wake up from the dream and you rub your head. You were back in your bed. You sit in a coffee shop. You sit at a table just look at your coffee Is she right? Should I think twice about this? "Excuse me, are you StarGazer?" A stallions voice calls out "If you're here to give the new racing magazine, you might as well take it back because I canceled my subscription mouths ago" you say not even looking at the stallion "Thats not what I here for" he says "Then what do you want?" you say look up at the stallion The stallion standing there is a orange unicorn with a green mane and tail. His cutiemark was a tiny marble ball with a cup on top. "May I have a seat?" he ask "Knock yourself out" you say He take the seat opposite to you and extends his hoof "I'm Jumbler" He says with a smile You smile and shake his hoof "I nice to finally meet you face to face" he says "How do you know who I am?" you asks "Well you see, I just happened to be at Ponyville when the rely race was on and I noticed you had your eyes closed at the final stretch and won the hole darn thing. Now if that's isn't talent then I don't know what is" he say with a smile "Thanks" you say then taking a sip of your coffee "You see I'm a talent scout and I've been looking for you for a while" he says "Why would you be looking for me?" you ask "Because I've also done some 'digging' and found out some stuff from you past" You slam your hoof on the table nearly knocking your coffee over "HEY! who gave you the right to look at my past" you shout "Calm down, I only looked at your racing past" he say in calming voice "Oh, well sorry for the out burst" you say "Don't worry about it. Anyway, I looked at your racing past and I noticed you broke the Fillydelphia youngest flyer record when you were six" he say You nod you head "Now that is impressive, so I looked all over Ponyville for you and I could've find you" "So how did you know I was here?" you ask "At the end of the relay race I notice you were talking to six beautiful mares, I assumed that here were your friends" "Were" you say under your breath "So as I was walking down ponyville and I just so happened to walk past the rainbow maned mare you was on your team" You perk up when he says 'rainbow maned mare' "I asked her if she know where you were" he continues "and she said 'He's in Fillydelphia', she seemed quite depressed, so anyway I got on the train as fast as I could and here I am" "So......what do you want?" you ask for second time He pulls out a business card and hoofs in over to you You look at the card "I want to be your racing agent" he says You look up at him "I don't know, I kinda go solo when It comes to racing" you say "Well just think about" he say getting out of the chair "Just come to my hotel room whenever and we'll discuses business" he continues and then walk out of the shop You watch him leave then look down at the business card You unlock the door to your house and walk into the living room while look at the business card You Dad is in the room writing his weather report "Hey Star......What you got there?" he asks "A business card" you say look at your dad "Whats it for?" "Well this guy named Jumbler whats to be my race agent" "Wait.....did you say Jumbler?" your dad ask getting up from the sofa "Yeah why?" "You can't trust that guy" "Why not?" you ask "Because he's a con artist, He'll act like he's going to help but in the end he's going to leave you for dead in a dark alley and take all the winning money and run off" He says "How do you know this?" you ask "Because he did the same thing to me" You look at him in shock "Before you were born, Me, your mother, Rose Beat and Jack Hammer were struggling with money. So I did the one thing that I thought would help us through. I went to Jumbler for help. I herd a bunch of bad stuff about him, but I had to what was right for the family. He made me his client, the first race we ever entered he had cased a spell on my wings to help me fly faster. Race after race we won money to help us through the cold times" he pause his story and looks at you You have a look on your face that begging him to carry on with the story "But one night after we won another race we talking in his office. Then he said 'You know Frost Bite you and your family are doing go yes? Well it would be a same that if something bad was to happen'. I looked at him like he's crazy. That's when some guys came in and grabbed me and started whaling on me. I thought back as best as I could but there was too many of them. I lost consciousness after a couple of hits. When I regained consciousness I was in a alleyway with a black eye, broken bones and a bleeding nose" he stops again and walk over to you "what ever you do, DO NOT got to him, DO NOT TRUST HIM" he yells "Alright I won't" you say Your dad nods and walks back to his paperwork. You put the business card in the bin. You grab some paper and a pencil and walk to your room. You open the door and walk over to your desk and start to write your first letter to Dash. > Time With A Friend > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 5 A week has past since you and Dash had your last goodbye. In that week you been writing to Dash everyday telling her about whats be happening with your family and hows you've been doing. Dash has also written back to a couple of time telling you how much she misses you and how much she wants you to come back to Ponyville. Every night in your dreams you get a visit from the heads of Twilight, AppleJack, Rarity, Fluttershy and Pinkie asking the same question every time. You walk down the streets of Fillydelphia with your head down low. As ponies of all colors pass by, the words of the ponies swim through your head Darkness Heartless Thrown Outside Given up Stolen As you walk with your head down low and your ears folded lost in your thoughts. You don't hear your name being called out. You feel a tapping on your shoulder and look over to see your friends Altair "Hey, whats up dude you look a little down" he says as he walk beside you "A lot of things are up Altair. A lot of thing" you say to him "You need to get a coffee? A cupcake? A strawberry cupcake? I know how much you love those things" he say with a smile You sigh "Alright, I guess I could go for a cupcake" you say with a smirk "That's my boy" You and Altair walk in the sweet shop and stand at the counter "What can I get you boys?" and oldish mare asks "I just have a Strawberry cupcake please" you say "And I'll have a Blueberry cupcake" adds Altair The mare nods and walks away "You know what I just noticed" you say looking at Altair "What?" "You like to get stuff that are blue" you say with a smirk "You seriously just noticed at?" he say with smile "Yeah" "Dude, we've known each other or 16 years and you just noticed" he say with a look on his face that looks like he's about to laugh You nod Altair can't hold it anymore and start to laugh is cuitemark off. His laugh is so loud that ponies in the shop are turning there head towards him You grab Altair by the shoulder and shake him "Dude, calm down" you say while shaking him You stop shaking and look at him "I'm okay" he says getting his breath back "Here you go boys" say the old mare placing the cupcakes on the counter "How much is it?" asks Altair "10 bits" she say "10 bits?! that's outrageous!" you says "I know, but its the owners idea to raise the prices" You roll your eyes and go to get your money. Altair stops you and you look at him "Don't worry, my treat" he says He levitates the 10 bits to and mare while taking his and your cupcake You and Altair walk to a table and sit opposite to each other Altair give you your cupcake. You take the cupcake from his and take a bite "So whats on your mind?" Altair asks You swallow the peace of cupcake in your mouth and look at him "Well I've been having these weird dream lately" you say "Wet dreams?" "NO DUMB ASS!" you shout "I've been having these about some 'friends'" "What type of dreams?" he asks "Well, their not full on dream about them, something they'll appear during the dream or appear before I wake up" "What do they do in your dream?" "Well say the same thing over and over again each time they appear" you say looking into Altairs eyes "What do they say?" "They ask stuff like 'Do you feel darkness?' 'Do you feel heartless?'" "Why would something like that?" Altairs says asking ANOTHER question "Well you know then we met here about a week ago when I came back from Ponyville?" you ask Altair nods his head "Well after I left you'll never guess who I ran into" "Who" "Rainbow Dash" you say Altair move back into his chair in shock "Really?" he asks "Yeah, and she ask me to come back to Ponyville" "Why didn't you go?" "I just couldn't, the way they all treated me, I just couldn't" you say with sad eyes "So what did they do exactly?" Altair ask leaning forward "Well they-" "Excuse me" a female voice calls out next to you You and Altair move you head towards a mare who stand their slyly "Um....I been looking at you from across the shop and I think your really hot" she says looking at you "Well your pretty hot too" you say with a smile "R-Really?" she asks You nod while still smiling "H-How hot?" she asks with excitement "As hot as an oven" you say "R-R-Really?" she asks again this time barely able to contain her excitement "Yeah, when it's off" you say removing the smile from your face "Now beat it" The excitement from the mare face disappears and a sad face appears. The mare turns around and walks back to her friends "Dude, that was so out of line" he say turning to you You shrug and take another bite from your cupcake "Anyway-" "You are SO rude" another female calls out You turn your head to see three mare including the mare you just talked to looking over at you "You talking to me?" You ask pointing to yourself "Yeah, I can't be you said that to our friend" another one said comforting the mare that called you hot "Hey, not my fault that I'm not attracted to her" you says "You're a horrible pony" the other one says "So sue me" you say raising your arms in the air "Come on girl were out of here" They all get up from the table while shooting death glares at you as the walk across the shop and out the door You turn back to Altair who's shaking his head in disapproval "What?" you asks "I so can't believe you just said that" he say with his arms crossed "Well, what you gonna do" you say taking another bite of you cupcake "Anyway, the ponies back at Ponyville decided to take a little to far" you say after swallowing the cupcake in your mouth "Like what?" "Well, They decided to write letter to me on how much of a horrible pony I am. Then the letter turned into death treats. Then the death treats turn into objects being thrown at me" "You serious?" Altair ask with fear "Yeah, That how I got this" you lifting up your wing revealing a scar "Oh my goodness" he says with shock You retract your wing so it covers your scar A couple of hours went by with you and Altair sitting around talking about what Altair has done while you were in Ponyville "Well I need to get going" Altair says getting up from the chair "Yeah, same here" you say also getting up You and Altair leave the shop and stand outside "I'll see you later man" he say "Yeah, see ya" You too hoof bump and walk separate ways You walk back down the streets of Fillydelphia looking down at the ground You feel somepony grab you. You jump in the air while doing a turn to face the pony that grabbed you "HEY WHAT THE BIG IDEA" you shout You stop and look at the pony that grabbed you and your eyes widen "Big Mac?" "Eeyup" he say with a smile "What are you doing here?" you ask He waves his hoof as a sign for you to follow him. You follow Big Mac into a alleyway "I've come here to talk to ya" he says walking into the alleyway "Did your sister put you up to this?" "Eeyup" he say stopping and turning around to face you "She says that maybe I could knock some sense into ya" "You mean latterly knocking some sense into me" you ask with a hint for fear in your voice, because the last thing you want is to be hit by Big Mac "I'm not going to hit you, if that's what you're implying" "Okay good" you say with relief "Now listen to me and listen good, Miss Rainbow Dash needs you, She needs you more then anything in the whole of Equesrtria" You look down at the floor "She looks like she hasn't slept in days, She even looks like she's been crying. But of course being Rainbow Dash she won't admit to it" You chuckle a little bit "That's Rainbow Dash" you say with a smile "Can't ya' see partner she need's you. Mah sister and her friends want the old Rainbow Dash back. Not the Rainbow Dash that's depressed all the time" "And what makes you think that I can make a difference?" you ask "Are you really that stupid" he says "Excuse me?" You ask with shock "The only reason why we think you can make a difference is because she is in love with you" You lift your head and look at Big Mac "Really?" He nods your head "But what about the ponies back at Ponyville?" you ask "What about them?" "Well when they found out when Cloudchaser kissed me, They kinda thought that I kissed Clousdchaser, so they started throwing stones at me" you say looking up at Big Mac "And that how I got this" you say once again reveling your scar "No need to worry about them, I have your back, And they wont mess with me" he say given you a smile You return a smile and then look down at the floor "So whats it gonna be partner? You gonna stay here and let Rainbow Dash drown in her own sorrow. Or are you going to go back to Ponyville and brighten up Dash's life" You look up at Big Mac and get up to your hoofs and turn around and walk out the alleyway "Were you going?" Big Mac asks "Follow me and you'll get your answer" you turning you head to him with a smile You and Big Mac walk to back to your house. You pull out a key from under you wing and unlock the door and you and Big Mac walk in You walk into the living room to see your Mum and Dad. Big Mac stays into the hallway "Mum, Dad" you say catching there attention "What is it Star?" you dad asks "I'm going back to Ponyville" you say They get up from sofa at the same time and look at you. At the corner of your eye you see that Big Mac has a huge smile on his face "You are?" you mum ask with shock You give a simple nod "Why?" you dad asks "This guy" you say waving at Big Mac to come into the living room "Howdy" Big Mac says walking into the room "I'll give you the short story" you to your parents who have there eye fixed on big mac "basically Big Mac here was told to come a knock some sense into me. He gave me some pretty good reasons on why I should go back. SOOOOOO I'm going back" you say finishing you short story Your parents look at each other and then back to you. They give you a nod as a sign of approval. You nod back at them. You and Big Mac walk out of the living room and into the hallway. Your parent follow you into the hallway "Oh, and tell Rose Beat I'm going, okay" you say turning back to your parents "Don't you want to pack your stuff first?" ask your mum "I don't need that stuff" you say and then look at you parents "Because right now" You pause for effect "My marefriend needs me" > The Return > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 6 The train door open as the train stops at Ponyville. You and Big Mac get out of your seats and walk towards the door. Big Mac walk out the train door first. You can't see anything because of how tall Big Mac is. As Big Mac steps away you see five ponies. They all look at you with a look on their faces as if they seen a ghost. They all stand their with out saying a word. "So....Whats the situation?" You say braking the silents "Well...Rainbow Dash is the situation" says Rarity "She needs you StarGazer" adds Twilight You look up at the sky and take a breath. You look back at the five ponies "Take me too her" you say with a smile You all walk out of the train station and walk toward Dash's cloud home. As you through Ponyville, ponies of all colors and sizes look at you with shock expressions. They just stop whatever they're doing at stair at you. "Well, Well, Well" a stallions voice calls out from behind you You turn around to see Thunderlane "What do you want?" you ask "I just wanted to what all the hullabaloo was all about" he says "And it looks like what everypony is saying is false" "What are ya' talking about Thunderlane?" ask AppleJack "Well....when no one saw Star for a week everyone assumed that he killed himself" he says with a small smile "Well I didn't, now if you'll excuse me" you say turning away from him and walking away "Let me guess. You're going to try a win Dash's heart back" Thunderland says "Yeah, that's right" you say not bothering to look back You stop and turn back to Thunderlane "Deal with it" you say and then turning around and walking The others catch up with you and walk beside you as you get closer and closer to Dash's home. You, the elements of harmony and Big Mac come to a stop and look up at Dash's home. "You ready StarStar?" asks Pinkie Pie You nod your head slowly "Go get her loverboy" say Twilight You chuckle a little and start to flap your wings. You fly up into the sky and make your way towards the front door of Dash's cloud manner. You land on the porch and take a breath. You step closer and closer to the door. You knock on the door and wait The door slowly opens. On the other side of the door is a lovely rainbow maned mare. Her eye's widen as her eye lay site on you. You scratch the back of your neck "Er....Hey Dashie" you say with a smile She doesn't say anything she just looks at you with complete shock. "Soooo.....I-" you get cut of Dash tackling you to the cloud floor You're greeted with thousand of kisses all around your face. Rainbow Dash doesn't leave a single part of your face that hasn't been kissed "Well...Someponys happy to see me" you say while still getting kisses from Dash Dash stops kissing you and looks you in the eye "What are you doing here?" she asks excitedly while still still on top of you "Well.....Some little ponies told me how upset you are, so they called me to come here to see if I could cheer you up" you stop and look at the smile on her face "And judging by the look on your face, it seems like it worked" "You mean, Twilight, AppleJack, Fluttershy, Pinkie and Rarity got you to change your mind?" she asks "Well, It was more of Big Mac changing my mind, since he's the one who come to me" you say with a small smile Rainbow Dash get of you and runs to the edge of the cloud. She looks down to the ground like she looking for something. She starts to wave her hoof. You get up from the cloud floor and walk to the edge. You see Twilight and Fluttershy waving back, Applejack is waving her hat in the air, Pinkie is jumping and screaming in the air and Big Mac is smiling. You wave back to all of them. Rainbow Dash kisses you on the cheek and turns back to walk into her house You watch Dash walking back to her house. You look back down the the six ponies and give them a smile. You turn around to see Dash standing at the door "I guess you'll be staying with me now huh?" she asks with a smile "I got nowhere else to go" you say walking towards her "unless you want me to sleep on a park bench" "I wouldn't want that, come on in" she say walking into her house You walk into the cloud home and look around. It your typical average house. Couch's, a kitchen, etc. "Nice place" you say "Thanks, Now follow me" she say with a seductive smile You follow dash through the house. She leads you into what seems to be her bedroom. In her bedroom are some wonder bolts and the crown from when she won the best young flyers competition. "So this is were you're gonna sleep huh?" you say giving Dash a small smile She shakes her and walk closer to you "This is were WE'RE gonna sleep" she says and then connects her lips with yours You and Dash stand there in a passionate kiss. You both close your eyes and enjoy each others breath against you fur. Dash brakes the kiss and you look into each others eyes "I've missed this" you say with a smile "Not as much as I've missed you" Dash say and then pressing her lip against yours again You brake away from the kiss and look into Dash's eyes "At least I kept my pinkie promise, you had a little bit of me with you the entire time" you say with a smile Dash smiles back at you. "So now that we're back together.....what do you say we have a little fun" Dash's says with her eyelids covering half her eyes and with a cheeky smile "You're not implying what I think you're implying?" She nods and garbs hold of your hoof and leads you to the bed "C'mon Star, The party is about to starts soon" Dash shouts from the main room "Hold on" you say while standing in front of a mirror in a bath room sorting out your mane You decide that you want to change your mane style but your not sure on what you want your mane to look like. Dash walks into the bathroom and stand at the door "C'mon we got to go" Dash say impatiently "Dash.....The party starts in fifteenth minutes, What's the point of going now?" you ask "I want to get before all the ciders is gone" Dash say stamping her hoof "We'll go in a minute, just hold on" you say and then look back at the mirror and mess around with your mane "What are you doing anyway?" asks Dash "I want to try a new mane style, but I'm not sure on what would suit me" you say while still looking in the mirror "You can talk to rarity tomorrow or something, Now C'mon lets go" She say grabbing your hoof and dragging you out of the bathroom and towards the door "You got the key?" you ask "Yes" Dash opens the door and walks out with you behind her. You close the door behind you and walk towords the edge of the cloud "Oh and by the way, If berry punch offers you a green drink....Don't take it" Dash say to you "Why?" you asks "Because one slip will get you drunk instantly, and I don't want to drag you're flank back here" she say spreading her wing You and Dash fly into the air and fly towards sugarcube corner. You been at the party for three hours now. You've had a couple drinks of cider and danced around with dash and her friends for a while. DJ PON-3 was playing some of her music, you're not a big fan of the music but as long as it not a nice beat to it it's fine to you. You've had some apologies from some ponies in which you forgave them. You stand near a table with a drink of cider, You watch Dash and some of her friends dance with the music that's being played. You smile to yourself and take a drink of cider A plum colored coated and a mulberry shaded maned earth ponies with bunch of grapes and a strawberry cutie mark wobbles up to you. It's fairly obsessive that she's drunk. She has cup in her hoofs as she fails to stand up right. "H-h-h-heeeeey!, D-Drink *hiccup* Drink this" she slurred, hand the cup to you "No thanks" you say pushing the cup away "Drinkitdamnyou" She said, her words tumbling from her mouth in a rush You shake your head "DRINK IT!" she shouts You take the cup from her and look at the liquid. It was the green drink that Dash had warned you about. "Drink it you......" She stops and looks at you You wonder if she was about to pass out or if she stuck on a word "........WUSS!!!" she shout louder You set the drink on the table and look at her "No" you say slowly to make sure she understood you You walk away from her and get another drink You made your way to the drink table and scoop yourself some punch. "Hi their" a female voice calls out from beside you You look to see a cream Pegasus mare with a brown messy mane and tail. Her cutie mark was a flaming wheel "Err....Hey" you greet her "I'm Wild Fire" she say introducing herself "Nice to meet you" "Look I'm sorry for what happened" she says "It's okay" "And I'm sorry for throwing rocks at you, what was WAY out of line" she continues "The whole thing got out of line" you say She nods her head in agreement "And I'm sorry for giving you the scare you got under your wing" "It wasn't a too deep of a cut so it no big deal" "Anyway have a good rest of the night" she say and then walk away "You too" You turn back and grab your drink and take a sip. What you didn't know is that while you were talking to Wild Fire, Berry Punch switched the green drink with your cup of punch. Soon the room starts to spin and your vision starts to go all weird. > Dat Liquid > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 7 You slowly open your eyes. Your head is pounding and and your back is aching. You can tell that you're not in a bed because you can't feel a mattress under your body or a pillow under your head. You lift yourself up into a sitting postilion. Your ears are ringing and your eye sight is burly. "We had one rule StarGazer" a female voice say next to you Your eyes come into focus and you look to were the voice cam from. Rainbow Dash is standing above you with a disappointed look . "We had one rule" she repeats "Huh?" you say rubbing your head "When Berry Punch offers you a green drink, don't take it" say she still with a unamused look on her face You look around your current surroundings "I'm in a bathtub aren't I?" you ask Dash nods her head "It was the only place we were able to get you because you refused to go home" she say "So how did you manege to get me in here?" you ask "You passed out just before the party ended, So we got Big Mac to carry you up here" she explains The door slams open and your head starts to hurt so you lay back down and face the wall whilst letting out a painful groan and put your hoofs over your ears "Oh....Sorry StarStar" say a happy go lucky pink pony "So hows he doing?" "He just woke up" Dash says answering pinkies question "Loud noises" you say with your hoofs over your ears You hear Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie giggle "Is Twilight here yet?" Dash asks "No not yet" Pinkie replies "Well lets just hope she here soon, He must be in so much pain" Dash say looking at you "Pinkie we need you" Mrs Cake yells form the bottom floor "I'll be right down" Pinkie yells back Your head hurts again from Pinkie yelling so you let out another painful groan. Dash give Pinkie and somewhat angry look "Oh sorry again StarStar" Pinkie say and then walks out of the room and slowly closes the door "Don't worry Star, when Twilight gets back you'll be as good as new" Dash says stroking your mane You roll other to look at Dash "Where has she gone anyway?" you ask "She went to Zecora's hut to see if she got any remedies for hangovers" Dash says "Who?" "Zecora, she's a zebra who lives in the Everfree Forest. She make all type of potions and stuff like that" she explains "Oh. So what exactly did I do when I was drunk?" you asks Dash giggles "You did loads of different stuff; Like you were hanging from the ceiling lights. You kept singing 'what is love'. You dunked your head into the punch bowl. You kept trying to see if you could walk on your hind legs. You went out side to see if you could catch the moon and of course I was the one who had to catch you and bring you back here." She pause and looks at you with a smile "And lets not forget the very last thing you did" "What did I do?" you ask sitting up slowly "Well, when DJ PON-3 was playing the last song of the night, you flied up into the air and yelled 'I hate this song' and then throw your plastic cup at her, As soon as the cup hit the floor you yelled 'TEN POINT, I WIN, EAT YOUR HEART OUT YOU PONY LOOKING THING' and then you passed out" she say with a giggle at the end You lay back down and rub your head "How long will Twilight be? I don't think I can stand this anymore" you whine while rubbing your head "I don't know, lets just hope it's soon" Dash say looking at the clock 20 minutes passed by. But to you felt like 20 hours. Your head felt like it was getting worse and worse every second, It felt like your brain was to squeeze it's way out of your ear. You hear somepony walking up the stairs. The bathroom door opens and Twilight walks in carrying a bag. "About time" Dash says "Well sorry if the walk to the Everfree and back toke ten minutes.....each" Twilight say with a frustrated tone towards Dash "Whatever, Just give the thing to him" Dash replies Twilight reach into the bag and pulls out a bowl with a plastic lid. She takes of the lid and hand it towards you. You sit up slowly and take the bowl from her and look at the liquid inside the bowl, the color of the liquid was a cal poly green and it made a horrible bubbly noise. "Now, Zecora says that you have to drink all of it as fast as you can or it won't work" Twilight explains "So will this work instantly?" Asks Dash Twilight nods her head You sit and look at the liquid, just by looking at the color and the sound it makes that it's going to taste terrible "Drink it" says Dash "Have you seen the color of it, it's disgusting" you say "Just drink it" Dash repeats "But it-" "Don't make me repeat myself again" Dash say giving you the evil eye "Fine" You bring the bowl up to your lips. You place your lip on the rim of the bowl and tilt your head backwards and close your eyes. The liquid flows into your mouth and you drink it as fast as you could. The taste of the remedie was a mixture of mushrooms and plant roots. As much as you wanted to spit it all out you know it was the only way to get rid of the hangover quickly. Eventually all the liquid was out of the bowl and now in your stomach. You could still taste the remedie on your tongue and the back of your throat. You gag and hold your throat "How was it?" Twilight asks "Bad" you say "How bad was it?" asks Dash "Tasted horrible, even horrible taste himself would say that tasted horrible" you explain Twilight and Dash giggle at your statement "It's not funny" you say giving them a disappointed look "At lest it over now" Dash say patting you on the back "Is your hangover gone?" asks Twilight "Yeah, it is" you say giving a smile "Thank Celestia. I don't think I would of been able to go to the Everfree forest again" says Twilight "So I can finally get out of the bathtub now?" you ask They giggle and nod their heads You climb out of the bathtub and the three of you walk out of the bathroom and head down stairs. You see Mr and Mrs Cake in the kitchen with there twins. Pinkie is at the counter taking orders. You see Rarity, Applejack and Fluttershy at a table. You, Dash and Twilight walk towards them "Well howdy" Applejack greets you "How ya' feeling Star?" "Better" you say with a smile "That excellent to hear dear. You sure made the most of the party last night" says Rarity with a giggle "So I herd" you say taking a seat Dash takes a seat next to you and Twilight takes a seat next you Applejack A sudden thought come to your head and it put's a strange look on your face. You see sudden worried look from the ponies around the table "Star, are you okay" Dash says "Yeah" you say You look over at Pinkie who standing at the counter with one on in front of it. You wave her over. She come trotting over and stands at the edge of the table "What is it?" she asks "I have a question for all of you" "Shoot" says Applejack "Well when I said that I couldn't come back here and you had to go back to Ponyville, Did you ask yourself question about me?" you ask They all nod "Were your question 'Does he feel darkness?' 'Has he thrown his love outside' 'Does he feel heartless?' 'Has he given up on love' 'Has someone stolen the sun from the island he's been trapped on?'" you say quoting them They all look at each other and then look back at you and nod there head in astonishment "How...How did you know that?" ask Fluttershy "Well you may or may not believe me, but the day you all left to go back to Ponyville I had a dream, A dream were I was visited by my guardian angel and-" "wait, wait, wait" Twilight say stopping you "did you say guardian angle?" Twilight ask "Yeah" "So you have a guardian angle" Dash says "Apparently" "That's AWESOME" Dash continues "Anyway, Before she descended towards me the face of you five showed up and asked me those questions" "Wait...are you serious?" asks Pinkie You nod "That's so strange" Twilight say rubbing her hoof under her chin "You're telling me, our face's would show up every time you had a dream?" applejack asks You nod again "I need to inform Princess Celestia" Twilight say getting out of her chair and walking towards the door of sugarcube corner "Why?" ask Dash "Because this is amazing, It's not often a dream has something to do with real life" she say and then walking out the door "We better be getting back as well" Dash grabbing your hoof and walking out of sugarcube corner You and Dash fly into the air and towards her cloud home Dash opens the door to her cloud home and you both walk in "So..." Dash say turning to you "So what?" you ask "You want to tell me why you had dreams about them?" Dash asks "I don't know, I don't have control over my dreams" you says "Try lucid dreaming" dash reply "I don't even know how to do that" you say defensively "Beside they only showed up during the dream or before I wake up from the dream, It's not like I was dreaming about them in general" Dash refuses to look at you and she turns her back to you "Don't be like that" "I had dreams about you, I can't believe you did have dreams about me" Rainbow says You can't see her face but you can tell that her eyes are tearing up "I did have dreams about you" you say walking up to her "Really?" she says not even turning towards you "Of course" you say walking in front of her so you can look at her face "Every night?" she asks "Not every night" you say "But you were always on my mind" You connect her lips with yours closing your eyes as you kiss Dash brakes away from the kiss "You should really take a shower" she says with a smirk "You going to join me unexpectedly like did the first time I took a shower when we were in the same house?" you ask "Nope, I've got some paper work to fill out" she say turning around and walking to her coffee table You turn around and walk towards the bathroom After a nice relaxing hot shower you dry yourself and walk into the main room to see Dash sitting on her sofa and writing down some stuff on next to some folders. You walk towards her ans sit down next to her "What you doing?" you ask "filling out these employe evaluations" she says still writing in one of the folders "Okay" You grab one of the folders that away from all the others. You open up the folder see your profile. The picture of you has lots of hearts around it. You look over at dash who is blushing. "So you still kept mine" you say with a smirk "Yeah..." she say "And whats with all the hearts?" you ask still with a smirk "I did all that back when I had a crush on you" she say blushing harder You kiss her on the check and put your folder back on the table "You want me to get something for dinner?" you ask standing up from the sofa "Yeah, sure" she replies "What would you like my darlin'" you say with a pose accent and walking towards the front door "Well my dear, I'm in the mood for a apple pie" she reponds with the same pose accent "I'll be back my love" you say opening the door "Why are we talking like this?" "No idea" you say walking out the door. You fly to sweet apple acres to see if you could get an apple pie of Applejack or Big Mac. You land in front of the door to the apple family house hold. You knock on the and wait for somepony to open it. The door opens but knows ones their. You look down to see a little yellow coated, red maned filly standing there with a smile.

Her eyes follow you as you fly over to her. It was kinda creepy in a way, but at the time it was kinda.....never mind You land in front of her and retract your wings "Hello" you greet her "I was starting to think that you weren't gonna show up" she says with a small smile "Well I would of been here earlier but Dash decided that she was going to drop a bomb shell on me" You pause for a couple of seconds "So I was still in the after shock for a while "And what was this 'Bomb shell'?" Applejack ask air quoting you "I'm meeting her parents tomorrow" you say "Really?" You nod your head "What are you gonna do?" she asks "Hide" you say bluntly "You serious?" she ask in shock "No, I'll just try and make a good impression" you say "Lets hope it goes well" she say walking to an apple field She makes a signal for you the follow her. You walk behind her looking up at the sky getting lost in your thoughts How do I make a good impression?

You look at Applejack how has a smile on her face "Sorry, I kinda zoned out" you say scratching the back of your head She chuckle a little "I could tell, You had a blank expression on your face" She say with a smile "Now you should get apple bucking" she continues poking your chest "YES SI- MA'AM" you say salute "Were yer about to call me sir?" she ask with another smile "Yes" you say making eye contacted with her emerald colored eyes She chuckle "Just get to work lover boy" she says turning and walk towards a tree You spent most of the time kicking tree so there delicious red apples fall and land in the bucket below. You would take the buckets and place them into the cart in a neat little pile. You prepare yourself to kick other apple tree. You turn around and get your hind legs ready. You kick the middle of the tree as hard as you can. When your legs make contacted with the tree, you hear something crack. Massive amounts of pain runs through your right leg. You let out a very loud painful yell and fall to the floor. You hold your right leg with your eyes closed ---------------Perspective Switch--------------- A painful scream could be herd through out Ponyville park. Rainbow Dash was flying around kicking clouds as fast as she could. Her ears pick up the loud scream and she looks around "That sounded like StarGazer" she said to herself She flys away from the cloud she was about to kick and fly towards sweet apple acres. She flys over every orchard look for the scream. Off in the distance she can see her friend Applejack leaning over her colt friend in a seductive way. Applejack seems to be holding on to something long "Ah, not so hard" StarGazer says Dash hides behind a tree and watches "I need to apply pressure to it" she say holding on to something "Well don't do it it like that" he says looking at her "I have to, It helps relieve it" she say holding it tighter "Well maybe there a different way you could do it" StarGazer suggests "I guess there is, just hold on" Applejack say Applejack moves and around in a seductive way "Ah!" Applejack screams "You alright? He asks "Yeah, I just pulled mine earlier" she say "Now, are you ready sugar cube?"

"More then I'll ever be" you say closing your eye Dash jumps out from a near by tree "Get your filthy hoofs off him!" dash shouts Applejack turns around. You look at Dash who has the angriest expression on her face "Dash, what ya doing here?" Applejack asks "I herd Star scream and I came to see if he's alright, and I catch you two in the act" she say You look at Applejack and she looks back at you. You both shrug "What are you talking about?" you ask "All that stuff you were saying about doing it more harder" she explains You and Applejack look at each other again and start to laugh "What?" Dash asks "Oh Dash, You got it all wrong" you say while still laughing "Huh?" Dash asks again "Ya' see, Star hurt is right leg, So we had to apply presser to it so the pain will go away quicker" Applejack explains with a few snickers between some words Dash looks at both of you with a confused face which make you start laughing again "So you guys weren't doing it?" Dash say asking another question "No of course not" you say walking up to her "I could never betray you" you continue then planting a kiss on her lips "Alright Star you got more work to do" Applejack say from behind you You brake the kiss and look at Dash "I'll see you back at the house" you say then kissing her on the cheek and then walk off the AJ After a long day you and Applejack sit by a bucket of water. You dip a towel in the bucket and then pull it out. You place the wet towel and rub it on your face. Bucking apples in the hot sun really works up a sweat. Its a nice way to cool down. You place the towel around your neck. You see Applejack starring at you. You ignore it and walk to a table that is set up up the barn. You sit down and rub some of the wet towel on your face "Ya' need a drink?" Applejack asks walking to the freezer that is set up outside "Yeah, I could go for one" you say "What do you want?" she say opening the freezer "Just water please" Applejack pulls out a water bottle and trows it to you.

He a nice, caring, innocent, lovable and.....and cute Applejack watches StarGazer take a sip of his water Rainbow Dash is one lucky mare to have a coltfriend like him. Applejack still looks at StarGazer as he looks at the sun with a small smile He's so cute when he does that little smile. Plus is eyes are so perfect. StarGazer watches a bird fly across the sky. His head moves over to Applejack, His eyes are still locked on the bird Celestia darn it I could just kiss him right now. NO APPLEJACK YOU CAN'T BE THINKING LIKE THIS, HE'S YOUR FRIENDS COLTFRIEND. StarGazer does that small smile again CELESTIA DARN IT STOP BEING SO GOSH DARN CUTE WHEN YOU DO THAT SMILE Star looks at Applejack and gets a concerned look on his face -----------End Of Perspective Switch------------ "You alright?" you ask Applejack "Huh? Wha? Yeah I'm fine" she say with a small smile "You're lying to me" you say "W-What?" She says shifting her eyes left and right "Applejack, You're a terrible lair" you say lifting an eyebrow Applejack starts to scrunch up her face still sift her eyes left and right "Nothing wrong" She says "Alright" you say then look back up at the sky You start to notice that Celestia sun is going down, so get up from the table and stretching your wings "I better get going" "Oh....okay I'll see ya tomorrow" Applejack say still sitting at the table "I can't" you say flapping your wings "Why?" Applejack asks sitting up from the table "I'm meeting Dash's parents tomorrow......remember?" you say hoovering in the air "Oh..yeah right...Well good luck" "Thanks" With that you fly away from sweet apple acres.

"Because to be honest Cloudchaser, I just don't like you" You say then grabbing the air freshener and fly up into the air. You stop and turn back to Cloudchaser who's looking down at the ground "And by the way" She looks up at you "I always thought that Flitter was the cuter one" You turn back around and fly back to your home It just a matter of minutes before Dash's parents arrive.

"What is that filly doing" you whisper to yourself You walk over to the front door and open it and walk outside, you didn't stop to close the door, you just needed to get to Scootaloo. You didn't mind getting a little wet. You fly towards the bench that the little filly was hiding under. You land in front of the bench. You see that Scootaloo is crying and tucked into a tight ball "Scootaloo what are you doing?" You ask trying to talk over the storm "GO AWAY!" she shouts "Scootaloo, you can't be out here, This storm is getting worse and worse by the minute" "I SAID GO AWAY!" she shouts even louder "We need to get you home-" "NO!

What were you doing out there?" Dash asks with concern "M-My Dad" she say wiping her eyes "What the matter with your Dad?" Scootaloo's eye starts to fill up the tears again. She holds on to your neck and starts to cry into your fur. "Hey, Hey Hey" you say with your most caring voice "There's no need to cry" Scootaloo still cry's into your fur. You pick her off you back and bring her into a hug, Scootaloo bury's her head into your chest like she trying to hind away from the world. Dash comes and sits net to you and strokes her mane "It's okay" say Dash "You don't have to tell us straight way, we just wanted to know why you were outside" After a couple of minutes Scootaloo calms down and lets go of you "Now how about we get you dry and have a cup of hot chocolate, then maybe you can tell us what happened, alright?" you ask Scootaloo "Okay" She say wiping her eyes dry again You walk over to the bathroom and grab a couple of towels for you and for Scootaloo.

You, Dash and Scootaloo sit on the sofa drinking the hot liquid. "So Scoots, what happened?" You ask Scoots places the hot chocolate down on the table and lets out a big sigh. "Well, My dad got drunk again and, well he started yelling at me and I yelled back and.....and.....he hit me so I ran away, and he told to never come back" Scootaloo say explaining her story. She doesn't make any eye contacted with you or dash she just looks at the cloud flooring You and Dash look at each other with shock. You can see in Dash's eyes that she's angry. You're angry as well "Has this happened before or is this the first time it's happened?" Dash asks the upset filly "This has happened before" Scoots say just above a whisper More shock and rage fills you and Dash "Why didn't you tell anypony?" You asks "Because he said that if I tell anypony he'll make sure that I will never get my cutie mark" She say still looking at the floor "So he placed a death threat?" Dash asks with anger and shock in her voice Scootaloo nods her head slowly. "Why didn't your mother do anything?" "My mums too self conscious to do anything about it, she to concerned about herself then me, and....and she left home a couple of weeks ago and hasn't returned, and Dad been getting drunk everyday, so I've been basically been taking care of myself" she say with tears now in her eyes Dash garbs your hoof and pulls you into the bedroom. "We'll be right back" Dash says before closing the door "I can't believe this" "I know, who would do this to there own filly!?" You asking a rhetorical question "We can't send her back to her father, things could just get worse" says Dash You both stop and think for a minute "She could stay here for a couple of weeks" you suggest" "I don't know" "Come on, we both know that we can't send her back to her home, and we can't let sleep on the cobbles" you explain "But we can't look after a filly for a week, lets face it, Were both kinda lazy, and your well....you can be a bit of a child at time" "Hey" "But do you really think that this is the right thing?" Dash ask You simple nod your head. You want the best for this lovable filly and your mind is set "Alright, we'll look after" Dash says with a smile "Awesome, lets go tell her" You say then walk towards the bedroom door You exit the bedroom to see Scootaloo still sitting on the sofa looking down at the floor. You and Dash walk over to her and stand in front of her "Scootaloo, we've been talking and we-" "Your gonna kick me out?" She asks with fear "No, far from it" you say with a smile Scoots sighs with relief "We've decided that your gonna stay with us for a while, or until we can get this sorted out" you say still smiling "W-W-What?" "You heard him right scoots, you're staying with us" Dash say with smile Scootaloo eyes fill up with tear yet again. But these weren't tears sadness, these were tears of happiness. She leaps up from the sofa and wraps her arms around Dash and give her a hug "THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU" she say repeatedly "It's okay Scoots" Dash say returning the hug You can't help but smile. The little filly finally has a smile on her face. Scootaloo lets go of Dash and wraps her arms around you, You still have the biggest smiles on your face. "Now it's getting pretty late" You say letting go of Scootaloo "Little fillys shouldn't be up at this hour" "But it's the weekends" Say Scootaloo "True, but judging by the bags under your eyes, you haven't had much sleep" "Yeah, but can I at lest stay up a little longer?" She asks "Sorry Scoots" "Come on Scoots, I'll show you to your room" Dash says walking down the hallway "M-My room?" Scootaloo asks in shock "Well yeah, unless you want to sleep on the couch" Dash say with a smile Scootaloo walks past you and follows dash down the hall. You smile to yourself again and walk over to the sofa. "You've done good StarGazer, You've done good" you say to yourself Time - 11:45 You wake up and let out a big yawn. You walk over to the the bedroom door and open it. You head over to the kitchen and start to cook up some pancakes. Dash enters the kitchen and gives you a kiss on the cheek as a good morning greeting. "So what you cooking?" Dash asks "Just some pancakes" you say then flipping the pan cake in the air and catching it in the pan "Show off" "It's Scoots up yet?" You asks "I don't know" Dash responds The door down the hall creaks open and a little orange and purple filly walks out rubbing her eyes and letting out a little yawn. It was kinda cute in a way "Hey squirt, sleep well?" Dash ask "M hmm" Scootaloo say while walking to the table "Best sleep I've had in months" "Months?" You question "Yeah.....Mum and Dad always argue at night" Scoots explains while getting up onto the chair "Well I promise there will be NO arguments here" Dash say taking a seat next to scoots "Anyway, what would you girls like on your pancakes?" You ask "How about some syrup apple slices" Dash say "Can I have a pancake on pancake?" Scoots asks You let out a little chuckle at her request "Course you can" You say "Make that two then" Dash say "Coming right up" you say with a little chuckle You finish making two pancakes and place it on a plate. You add a little syrup and take the plate to over to Scootaloo. You didn't want to mention it in front of her but see looked a little skinny but at least now she's getting some food in her belly. You return back to the kitchen can start to make a second batch of pancakes for yourself and Dash. After you finished making pancakes for yourself and Dash you return with two pancakes plates and place one in front of Dash, you also place a plate in front of yourself and start to dig in to your pancakes. After You, Dash and Scootaloo finished your pancakes and placed them in the sink. You return back to the sofa and sit next to your marefriend "Now Scoots, If you're gonna be staying with us you're going to learn how to fly" Dash say breaking the silence "Really?!" Scootaloo asks with excitement "Yep, I fact we should get started right away" Dash says with a smile "WOOHOO!" Scoots shouts "Lets go" She say running towards the door You and Dash chuckle and chase after the little filly You, Scoots and Dash walk though Ponyville heading to the park to give Scoots some flying lessons. As you walk Dash is already giving some tip on how to fly. "Howdy Everypony" A southern mare say stopping the three of you in your tracks "Hey Applejack" Dash say greeting her friends "How is everypony this morning?" Applejack asks "Fine" Dash answers "I'm good" You say "I'm doing FANTASTIC!" Scoots shouts "That's nice to here" Applejack says with a smile "StarGazer, do ya mind helping out at the farm today?" "Not today Applejack" You say with natural face "We promised flying lessons to little Scootakins here" you say ruffling Scootaloos mane "Don't call me that" Scootaloo say You, Applejack and Dash chuckle at Scootaloo "Maybe tomorrow then?" Applejack ask "Yeah, see ya then" you say walking past her "Have a good rest of the day, try not to hurt yourself Scootaloo" Applejack say as you all walk away After a couple of hours standing in the park and watching Scootaloo flap her tiny wings so that she can get of the ground, you all deiced to take a break and lay down on the field looking up at a clouds "That one looks like a cat" Scoots say pointing at one of the clouds "Oh yeah" you say with a smile "That one looks like a Hydra" Dash say pointing at sky "Where?" You ask "Over there look" Dash say still pointing at the sky "I don't see anything" You say "You're not looking at it right" Dash say "Scoot, can you see it?" you ask "Yeah" She answered "It's not hard to miss" You sit up and look at the sky "You two are lying me" you say "It right there" Dash say also sitting up at the same time as Scootaloo You continue look up at the sky. You can here Dash and Scoots whispering at each other You then get tackled to the ground by Dash and Scootaloo. Dash pins your front hoofs to the ground, you then start to laugh uncontrollably because scoots is using her wings to tickle you. They then let go of your so that you can get your breath back. Dash whisper something into your ear and your agree with her by nodding you head.You and Dash look over at Scootaloo with smiles. Scootaloo looks at You and Dash with a look of confusion Her confused expression didn't last because she soon realized what you were about to do. You and Dash tackle her to the ground before she could ran away. You and Dash start to tickle Scoots. Scootaloo laugh was you cutest thing yo have every herd, not as cute as Dash's puppy dog eyes, but it was so cute it could put a baby bunny to shame. Scootaloo laugh is so contagious that you and Dash start to laugh as well. You and Dash let go of her and fall to the floor laughing. The three of you lay on the field having a laughing fit. But the fit didn't last "There you are you worthless filly!" a angry stallion voice calls out You, Dash and Scoots stand up look over to see a orange coated Pegasus with a red mane and tail, wobbling across the field, It was obvious that he was drunk. Scootaloo cowers behind Dash's leg. "Who is that?" Dash asks Scootaloo "That's my Dad" Scootaloo answers > C'est tout à fait une situation > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 11 "That's my Dad" Scootaloo say hiding behind Dash's leg and shriving in fear Anger starts to fill you. Knowing what this pony has done to his daughter you know that you're not gonna let him take her without a fight. The last thing you want is for Scootaloo to go back to an abusive parent. You get into a charging stance and grit you teeth and give him an 'You better back off' look while growling. Dash places a hoof on your shoulder. You look up at her "Calm down" she say You get out of your stance and stop growling. But you still give him an angry look "What do you think you're doing out here you bustard filly" he say trying to grab Scootaloo, he wobbles as he trys to get her "I-I-I" she say still hiding behind Dash's leg "She was getting a taste of what family's should be like" you say catching the stallions attention "And who the buck are you?" he asks still wobbling trying to stand still "I'm StarGazer, who are you?" you ask back "I'm Sky Rider, the father of that worthless filly there" he say pointing to Scootaloo "She's not worthless" Dash say defensively on the behalf of Scoots "How would you know, you're not her parent" he shouts while still trying to stop himself from falling over "I know were not her mother or father, and how do I know that she's not worthless? because I spent half a day with her and she is the most energetic, most upbeat, most sweetest filly I know. You should feel lucky to have a filly like her" you say "HEY!" Sky Rider shout turning to you "You the buck do you think you are" he say pushing you "Just because you spent half a day with her you think you know her?" he say then pushes you again Anger starts to fill you Calm down StarGazer, clam down "All she does is moan and moan. She doesn't do what she's told and she always gets into trouble" he say getting in your face You just stand there look at him with a scowl on your face "And she's the reason why my wife left" "I was not!" Scootaloo shouts coming out from behind dash leg "You're the reason you drunk maul" "HEY! DON'T YOU TALK BACK TO ME" Sky Rider shouts He swings is hoof and hits Scootaloo across the face THAT'S IT! You turn Sky Rider towards you and you kick him right in the chin. He falls to the ground with a thud. Dash holds Scootaloo in her arm as Scootaloo crys into her fur. You stand over Sky Rider with the most angriest face you have ever put on. Sky Rider looks up at you with fear in his eyes. You give him on sympathy and you kick him in the face again knocking him out cold. You look over a Dash who still has a crying Scootaloo in her arms. Dash strokes her mane as she hold Scootaloo tight. Scootaloo looks over at her knocked out father, she then looks over at you "Is, Is he dead?" She asks still in tears "No, He's just knocked out" you say looking at the stallion "What are we going to do about him?" Dash say still holding on the Scootaloo "I guess we can put him back in his house" you say picking him up and putting him on your back "What are we gonna do when he wakes up?" Dash asks "I don't know, but we'll have to deal with that when it happens" you say You, Dash and Scootaloo walk back to the town to take this knocked out drunken stallion back to his house. As you carry the stallion, ponies start to turn there head towards you. A purple unicorn stops you in your tracks "What happened to him?" She asks "He....passed out" you say trying to put on a innocent smile "Why is his face all bruised?" Twilight say asking another question "He feel on his face" Dash say "Where are you carrying him?" "Back his house" says Dash "Okay, can you two meet me back at the library, I want to try a new spell" says Twilight "Yeah, sure" you say "Can I come?" Asks Scootaloo "Of course you can Scootaloo" Twilight says with a smile "We'll see you in a minute Twi" say dash You, Dash and Scootaloo walk past Twilight and walk down the streets of ponyville "Which house is it Scoots?" You asks "That one over there" she says pointing to a house just outside of ponyville You walk up to the front door and pull on the handle, luckily the door was unlocked so you was walk into the house. The inside of the house was filled with lots of beer bottles and cans, the house also smelt like vomit and piss. You shake your head in discus. You walk up stairs and find a room of what you think is the master bedroom. The floor was filled with more beer bottles and can. You place the knocked out stallion on the bed and walk back down stairs and out the front door. You find Dash and Scootaloo waiting for you outside. None of them say anything, you just walk away from the house and walk towards Twilights library. "So Twilight what do you want us for?" Dash asks "Well, I finally mastered a spell that can look into other ponies heads" she say with a smile "Really? that's so cool" says Scootaloo Twilight nods her head agreeing with Scootaloo "So who wants to go first?" Twilight asks "Dash will" you say "Wait what? You back away from Dash and stand next to Scootaloo. Dash give you a look of disapproval and turns back to Twilight. Twilight's horn starts to glow. A beam of purple comes out of the horn and fires towards Dash. Purple aura circle around Dash and a thought bubble comes out from the top of her head. In the thought bubble is you and Dash kissing. The kissing turns into something more and you and Dash walk towards the bed as you kiss. Dash lays on top of you and she starts to rub your- You cover Scootaloo's eyes so she doesn't see the mature content. The thought bubble disappears and Twilight give Dash a discussed face. Dash looks away with a blush. You uncover Scootaloo's eyes so she can see the light again "Okay StarGazer, you turn" Twilight says walking towards you You prepare yourself and give a nod Twilight horn starts to glow again. She was about to fire the aura then the door bursts open "HI TWILIGHT!!!" A pinkie pony shouts This causes Twilight to jump in fright and fire of a different aura beam towards you. The beam hits of you and knocks you into a bookshelf. tons of books fall on top of you. "STARGAZER!" Dash shouts You peak your head from under the books. You start to see stars fly around your head. "Are you okay?" Dash ask pulling you out of the pile of books You give a reassuring nod "Sorry StarGazer, that wasn't meant to happen" Twilight says "C'est bon" you say rubbing the side of your head "C'était assez cool même si" You cover your mouth "Qu'est-ce que c'était?" you say then covering you mouth again "Twilight what did you do?" Dash asks "I don't know" Twilight says in fear "I must of accidentally done the language change spell" "Pouvez-vous résoudre ce problème?" you asks "What did he say?" Asks Scootaloo "I don't know, does anyone speak french?" Rainbow asks "I think Rarity does" says Pinkie Pie "Can you go get here please" say Dash Pinkie nods and runs out of the library to go fetch Rarity. Rainbow Dash looks at you with a look fear and then looks back at Twilight "Can you fix this?" Dash asks "I think so, I need to find the language spell book" "Can you find it?" Scootaloo asks Twilight nods her head and starts looking at the bookshelf trying to find the right book. Pinkie Pie returns with Rarity behind her. "What the matter?" Rarity asks "StarGazer got hit with the wrong spell and well..." "Je suis en train de parler en français" you say "Ah, I see" says Rarity "So can you translate for us?" Dash aks "Of course I can" She say with a smile and then walk up to you "How are you feeling StarGazer?" "Je me sens bien. Ma tête fait un peu mal, mais je vais bien" you explain "What did he say?" asks Pinkie "He said he feels fine" Rarity say with a smile "Mais je veux juste arrêter de parler en français" "and he said that he wants to stop speaking in french" "AH HA!" Twilight yells "Did you find it?" Dash asks "Yes" "Cast the spell on him quick" Dash says in a rush Twilight horn glows and a purple aura hits you You open your eyes and everypony stairs at you "How do you feel?" Dash asks "Me siento muy bien" "It didn't work" says Scootaloo "Zap him again" Pinkie says You get hit again "Ehei" You get zapped again For what feels like ten minutes of getting zapped you feel like you're never going to be able to speak equestrian again. "Okay, one more. If this doesn't work then were going to have to give up" says Twilight You close your eyes and get ready to be zapped again. You feels the aura it you and you open your eyes. Everypony stairs at you again. "Did it work?" asks Scootaloo "I hope so" you say You smile with relief. It was over it was finally over. "Oh thank Celestia" Dash says "Now that's over I'll be taking my leave" say Rarity "See ya Rarity" Says Pinkie Pie "Well I could really go for a quick nap after all that zapping" you say then yawning "And we need to continue our flying lession scoots" Dash say ruffling Scootaloo's mane Scootaloos face lights up with a smile You, Dash and Scootaloo walk out of the library and towards the park. Dash and Scootaloo walk into the fild as Dash gives Scootaloo some tips. You see a nice looking cloud just above them. You spread your wing. You were about to jump into the air and fly towards the cloud but..... "STARGAZER!" a very familiar voice calls out You turn around to see a red coated unicorn mare with blond tail and mane running towards you "RoseBeat?" > ".....It slipped my mind" > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 12 "RoseBeat?" RoseBeat tackles you into a hug "I hate you, don't ever leave with out telling me again" she say as her hug gets tighter "Okay, I'm sorry" you say returning the hug You hear your big sister start to sob in your chest "Hey, there's no need to cry" you say stroking her mane "I'm sorry" she say letting go of you then drying her eyes "I was just so worried" "What where you worried about?" you asks "I just though that the pony would attack you again" she says with a couple of sniffles "Well there no need to worry, we got everything sorted out" you say with a smile "Hey" a cyan Pegasus calls out You turn around to see Rainbow Dash with Scootaloo "Hey Dash" Rose Beat say greeting her Dash looks at Rose Beat for a moment. She soon recognize her "Oh hey Rose Beat, I didn't recognize you for a second there" Dash say with smile "Don't worry about it" "Yeah, she changes her mane every two weeks or so" you say "She can't make up her mind" "Oh shut up" Rose Beat says hitting you lightly on the arm Rose Beats eyes set sight now the little filly standing next to Dash's leg. A smile comes across Rose Beats face "Aww, who's this?" Rose Beats giving Scootaloo a little smile "Oh, this is Scootaloo" Dash say introducing her "Don't be rude Scoots say hi" "Hi" Scootaloo says the hiding away behinds Dash's leg slightly "Aww, she's adorable" Rose Beat says with a smile still on her face "So what brings you hear Rose Beat?" Dash asks "Well, I just wanted to see Ponyville for myself and I wanted to make sure that my little brother was safe" Rose Beat explains "You're his sister?" Scootaloo asks coming out from behind Dash's leg "That right" says Rose Beat "Why did you want to see if Star was safe?" asks Rainbow Dash "When he left Ponyville he was treated badly, He even got stones thrown at him" explains Rose Beat "Really? is that my the ponies at the party kept apologizing to you?" ask Rainbow Dash while looking at you You give a simple nod "Why didn't you tell me?" Dash asks getting close to your face "Because...." You say trying to find a excuse You get weird look from Scootaloo and Rose Beat. You also get a somewhat angry look from Dash. You sift your eyes from left and right while scrunching you your face. Dash face gets close to yours. "Well...um...you see....erh" You turn around and start to run. You look behind you make sure if any of them where chasing you. You see Rose Beat chasing you with Scootaloo riding on her back. You start to wonder where Dash is You look up to the sky to see Dash right above you. You start to pick up the past on your running. An idea comes into your head. You turn around and start running toward Rose Beat. You see that Rose Beat is backing down as you run towards each other. As you get closer to Rose Beat you jump over her and lad back on your hoof and continue running. "Ha Ha Ha" you laugh while looking back at Rose Beat You turn your head forward to see Dash flying towards you. She crashes into you and she pins your hoofs to the ground. "Now. Why you didn't tell me?" she asks demanding You look up to the sky and then look into dash eyes. You shrug "STARGAZER!" Dash shouts while adding more presser to your hoofs "What?" "Why didn't tell me you where being treated horribly treated when we broke up?" Dash asks ".....It slipped my mind" you explains "And that makes it alright?!" Dash shouts "What do you want out of me?!" You ask shouting back "I want the truth!" "I'm giving you the truth!" "I don't believe you" Dash say letting go of your hoof "Well you should believe me because its the absolute truth!" you shout getting from the ground "Well I don't believe you!" Dash shouts back "What you don't trust me?!" "A matter of fact-" "STOP!!! STOP FIGHTING!!!" a little filly's voice shouts catching yours and Dash's attention You and Dash look over to where the voice came from. You see Scootaloo with tears in her eyes. Rose Beats doing her best to try a calm her down. "You promised me that there will be no arguments!" She shouts with a couple of tears running down her face "It's just like Mum and Dad again" Scootaloo continues then hugging Rose Beat You and Dash look at each other and let a sad sigh. The fact that YOU made the little filly cry crushes your heart. You and Dash walk over to Scootaloo "Scootaloo, It's okay" Dash says trying to comfort her "We need mean to get into an argument. It's just that Star is being an idiot" "..Yeah" you say agreeing with Dash "Come on Scoots, I've cried enough this weekend" says Dash putting a hoof on Scootaloo's shoulder You hear some little sniffles and Scootaloo lets go of Rose Beat and look up at her with a smile "That a girl" Dash say with a smile Rose Beat walks up to you and takes you to one side so that she can talk to you in private "What did she mean 'It's just like Mum and Dad again'" Rose Beat asks quoting Scootaloo "I'm not sure that she wants me to tell anypony" you say "Do her parents argue a lot?" "M-hmm" you say nodding "And why does she have red mark acroos her face and a couple of bruises on her?" Rose Beat asks You shrug "Do her parents...you know....abuse her?" Rose Beats asks hoping that the answer is no You look at Rose Beat with sad eyes. She gasps and then turns around and runs towards Scootaloo. She grabs Scootaloo into a hug. "I'm sorry Scootaloo" Rose Beat says nearly in tears "Huh?" Scootaloo say with confusion "I'm sorry for what your parents did" says Rose Beat hugging her tighter "It's alright" says Scootaloo "No Scooty, I know what it's like to be abused" Hearing that makes you start to question Rose Beat "How do you know whats it's like?" You asks Rose Beats ears lower and she looks at you "M-My coltfriend sometimes hit's me" "Wait, WHAT!?!" you ask shouting "I'm sorry I never told that you that I had a coltfriend" says Rose Beat "I don't care if you didn't tell me, It's your personal life and if you want to keep it a secret that's your decision" You say "BUT, he hits you?" Rose Beat nods her head slowly "And how long has this been going on?" you asks Rose Beat puts her hoof to her chin and starts to think "About three months" OH HELL NO!!! This mother bucker is going DOWN!!! > Did Not Expect That > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 13 "THREE MONTHS!!!" you shout "StarGazer please calm down" Rose Beat says Rose Beat has always been the best out of everypony you know to calm you down. But not this time. You just found out that your sisters colt friend has been abusing her and there is no way that you're going to let this slide of your shoulder. "NO! Why didn't you tell anypony?" "Because he said that he would hurt me even more" "That's it I'm not just gonna stand here and let this continue." you say "What do you mean Star?" Rainbow Dash asks "I'm gonna go to Fillydelphia and give this stallion a peace of my mind" you say with anger "Wait what?" asks Rose Beat "You herd me, be back in a couple of hours or so" you say to dash then giving her and kiss on the cheek and then turning around to walk to the train station You out of the park and walk through ponyville and walk towards the train station without saying a word. You that Rose Beat is following you but you had one think on your mind at the moment. You buy a train ticket and wait for the train with Rose Beat. "Please don't make this any worse" Rose Beat says but you just ignore her It wasn't long before the train arrived. You get on and had your ticket to the ticket pony and take a seat with Rose Beat sitting next you you. The train stops and Fillydelphia and you both get off and walk through the city with Rose Beat close beside you "Please StaGazer just turn around and go back home" "Does Jack Hammer know about this?" you ask her She shakes her head You find the apartment building you where looking for and walk up two flights of stairs and knock on one of the doors. You wait for the door to open. After a couple of seconds the door opens reveling a big brown coated and brown maned unicorn stallion with a Jack Hammer cutie mark. "Hey little bro, Hey Little sis what up?" he greets you and Rose Beat "Hey Jack Hammer" you greet him back "Did you know that our sister is in a abusive relationship?" "What?!?" he ask with anger "Yeah, and apparently this abuse has been going on for three months" Jack Hammers walks back into his apartment and grabs his keys "Peach Mane!" Jack Hammer shouts in his apartment "Yeah!" say a female voice "I'm going out, I got some business to attend too!" say Jack Hammer "Alright, see ya soon" says the female voice He then walks back out shutting the door behind him. "Peach Mane?" you asks "Yeah, my marefriend" he says "Nice" "Anyway, Where does this mother bucker live?" he asks Rose Beat "Just down the street" she says You, Jack Hammer and Rose Beat walk through Fillydelphia heading towards Rose Beats colt friend apartment. "What this colts name?" you ask "Shine Bright" she says You finds 'Shine Brights' apartment building and walk up a couple of stairs before find his door? "Stay here" Jack Hammer says to Rose Beat and then knocking on the door Jack Hammer knocks on the door. he door opens to show an gray earth pony with a sliver mane and tail. "Can I help you?" he asks "Are you Shine Bright?" You asks "Yes" "Good, we just need to asks you some questions" Jack Hammer says then makes and green aura around Shine Bright and lifting him and setting him over to his sofa You and Jack Hammer walk in to his apartment and you close the door behind you. Jack Hammer still has his aura around Shine Bright. You two walk over to him. "Who the hay are you two?" Shine Bright asks in fear while still trapped in Jack Hammer's magic "I'm Jack Hammer and this is my little brother StarGazer" Jack Hammer say introducing himself and you, while letting Shine Bright out of his aura "You're dating a mare by the name of Rose Beat, am I correct?" You ask "Yeah, how did you know?" he asks "Well we're her brothers" says Jack Hammer "Uh-oh" "Yeah, uh-oh" you say "Now, my little sister tole my little brother StarGazer that you've been hitting her, am I right?" asks Jack Hammer He stays silent "I'll take that as a yes" you says "Now, we want to know why?" He keeps silent "TELL US!!!" Jack Hammer shouts "Because I have anger issues!" Shine Bright shouts "And you take it out on our sister?!" you ask "I don't mean too, It just happens" he says "I don't buy it" Jack Hammer says "I can't help my anger alright, I've been trying to get it under control, but I take control over me" he say looking down at the floor "Alright listen" you say placing a hoof on his shoulder "Here's what you're gonna do, you're gonna find some other way to take out your anger instead on use our sister alright" Shine Bright nods in agreement "And if we find out you've hit our sister again, Jack Hammer here is going to knock you into next week. you got it?" You say looking into Shine Bright's eyes He nods again "Good" say Jack Hammer "We'll take our leave" You and Jack Hammer walk towards the front door of his apartment and walk out. You see Rose Beat at the top of the stairs waiting for you. "You didn't hurt him did you?" asks Rose Beat "Of course not, we just had a little talk" say Jack Hammer "I don't think he'll be hitting you anytime soon, knowing that Jack Hammer will have his eye on him" you say nugging your brother "Thank you guys" Rose Beat say hugging you and Hammer "No problem sis" you say hugging her back You, Jack Hammer and Rose Beat head back down the stairs and walk out the apartment building. Jack Hammer walk off the his apartment while you and Rose Beat head back to the train station. You wait for the train to arrive with Rose Beat "So...what are you and Dash gonna do with Scootaloo?" Rose Beat asks "Well she staying with us for a while, we couldn't let her go back to an abusive parent" you say "Parent?" "Yeah..her....her mother left home a couple of weeks ago" you say with sad eyes "Oh, well lets hope you and Dash can help her" "We plan too" you say with a smile The train arrives and Rose Beat gives you another hug "Thank you for everything" she says whispering in your ear "Anytime sis" You arrive back in Ponyville and walk out of the train station. You fly up into the air and fly back home. You land in front of the front door. You open the door and walk into the house "Guess who's back" you say closing the door behind you You get no response. The house is silent. You walk around the whole house seeing if Dash or Scootaloo is in. You walk into the main room, No pony is inside. You sit down on the sofa and pat your knee. It's kinda freaks you out a little because of how silent the house. Knock Knock You head over to front door and open it. You see standing on the other side of the door is Cloudchaser. "What?" you asks "I just wanted to ask you something" she says "Well....." "I just wanted to ask with me and you could-" "No" you say cutting her off "But I didn't finish " "I don't care" you say shrugging "If this is some attempt to try to be with me, it's not gonna work" "But I-" "Me and Dash are together why can't you except that a move on?!" you asks You see Dash flying toward the house with Scootaloo on her back "Leave now" you say Cloudchaser turns around and fly's off without saying a word. Dash lands in front of you "What was that about?" she asks "She wanted to asks me something" you say walking back into the house "What did she asks?" Dash asks while Scootaloo jumps of her back "I don't know I cut her off half way through" you say smirking while sitting on the sofa "Oh okay" Dash saying over to you and sitting down "How did It go?" "Huh?" "With your sisters coltfriend?" "We got it work out....hopefully" you say looking at Dash For the rest of the day you didn't really do anything interesting you just sat around the house helping Scootaloo with her homework and some other stuff. Luna moon was high above the sky and shining bright. You and Dash lay on the sofa together while Scootaloo is on the cloud flooring playing with a wonderbolt's jigsaw puzzle. You see Scootaloo let out a little yawn "Are you tired Scootaloo?" you asks "No" she says "Scootaloo" you say lifting a eyebrow "I'm not tired" she say with tired eyes "Scoot, it's time for you to go to bed, you got school in the morning" say Dash "But-" "No buts Scootaloo, go brush your teeth" says Dash "Okay" Scootaloo say with a disapointed tone Scootaloo gets up and walk to the bath room. After a couple of minutes Scootaloo walk out of the bathroom and walk toward her bedroom "Goodnight guys, I love you guys" she say You and Dash look at each other in shock and smile "We love you too, Scootaloo" Dash say "That rhymed" you say whispering to dash which causes her to giggle Scootaloo door closes and you lay there speechless from that sudden out brush from Scootaloo. And yet you had a smile on your face. "Well" Dash say braking the silence "I did not expect that" "Me neither" you say looking at Dash "It felt kinda satisfying" "Almost as satisfying as this?" dash asks before kissing you on the lips "THAT more satisfying" Dash smiles at you and then kisses you on the lips again > A Time At A Farm Can Do No Harm...You Know What, Scrath That, It Can Do Some Harm > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 14 You open your eyes slowly just to see a wardrobe...that was it. You turn around to face the other to see the other side of the bed the empty. She's probably taken Scootaloo to school You try to close our eyes to get back to sleep but only to be interrupted by the sound of a hoof knocking on the door. You groan and roll off the bed and land on the cloud floor. But you didn't land on your hoofs, you landed flat on your belly. Instead of you getting back on your hoof, you just lay there. KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK You give out another groan and get back onto your hoofs. You walkout of the bedroom and towards the front door. You stand at the front door and just look at it. You got a bad feeling that you know whose gonna be on the other side of the door. It could be Cloudchaser, ThunderLane or Scootaloo's Dad. But it's probably Cloudchaser trying to steal you away from Rainbow "Go away Cloudchaser" You say still staring at the door "Chouldchaser? It's Applejack" The voice says You open the door to that it was indeed Applejack standing at the door "Applejack what are you doing here?...most importantly how are you standing on a cloud?" you ask "1, I'm here to get you for work and 2, Twilight can cast a cloud walking spell and I also asked Fluttershy to help me get up here" Applejack explains "Fluttershy is a lot strong then ponies think" you says leaning on the door "Yeah she is" say Applejack agree with you "Anyway, we better be getting back to the farm" "Alrighty then" you say closing the door behind you You and Applejack walk to the edge of cloud "I guess you'll be wanting to ride on my back" you say with a smirk which for some reason cause Applejack to blush "If ya' don't mind" she say looking down at the cloud "Not at all" You bend down low-enough so that Applejack can get on your back. You feel the weight of Applejack on your back. She was a quite a heavy gal "I think you need to lay of the apples" you say spreading your wings "Is that some sort of a fat joke?" Applejack say crossing her arms "Maybe" you say with another smirk "Whatever sugar cutie, I mean sugar cube" she say with a blush You raise one eyebrow at her. "Anyway, you ready?" you ask "Yeah" she say wrapping her arms around your neck You jump of the side of the cloud and free fall. You can feel Applejacks arms tighten round your neck. You were about to hit the ground, but at the last minute you pull up and fly high up into the air. "What the hay was that for?" Applejack asks in fear "Just keeping you on the edge of your hoofs" you say "Don't ever do that again" You chuckle and fly towards sweet apple acres After what feels like a two minute flight, you and Applejack land at the front of the barn. Applejack gets of your back and looks at you with a angry look "What?" you ask "Don't you ever, and I mean EVER do that again!" she says angrily "I'm sorry" you say with a slight chuckle "Just get to work sugarcube" says Applejack walking away from you while swaying her hips for some reason "You want to tell me what I'm doing first?" you asks "You're gonna be bucking the apples from the west field and then bring them back to the barn" she say turning to you "And how an I gonna get them here?" "I'm sure you'll find away" she say then giving you a wink You roll your eyes and then fly into the air and fly towards the west field After a couple of hours of apple bucking you carry the buckets of apples to the barn. You set the forth bucket next the others. As you where about to fly away your leg gets court on some rope that was placed on the ground. The rope pulls you and you where now upside down. "Well, looks like I caught myself a lover" a female voice says You look over to where the voice came from to see Rainbow Dash with a huge smile on her "Dash...let me down" you says "You have to pay the fee, then I'll let you down" she say still smiling "How much is the 'fee'?" you ask "20 kisses" "Make it 15" you say unimpressed "25" "15" "20!" she says demanding "Fine, come here" you say opening your arms while still upside down She smiles and walks over to you. You place 19 kisses all over her face and for the last kiss you place your lips on to hers. You don't even remember opening your mouth and yet somehow she managed to get her tongue to dance with yours. You hear somepony clear there throat You and Dash stop kissing and look over to where the throat clearing came from.You see Applejack standing there with an unamused face. "Hey Applejack" says Dash "Howdy Dash, do you think maybe you could do that in front of other ponies" Applejack say walking passed you and Dash and walking into the barn "Why?" Dash following Applejack leaving you upside down "Because some ponies might find in uncomfortable" Applejack says walking deeper into the barn "I don't see why" says Dash stopping the the middle of the barn "Well maybe because some ponies what to try and find love and you two are rubbing it in ponies faces" Applejack say grabbing a cup of cider "I don't even...." Dash pause for a couple of seconds "Wait...Applejack...are you looking for a special somepony?" "NO!...well...yes..but he's-" "Excuse me!" You say cutting Applejack off and getting there attention "Not that this isn't interesting but do you think maybe you could let me down because all I can here is the sound of my blood rushing towards my head" you say "Oh..er..sorry Star" Dash says then walking out the the barn Dash lowers you down to the floor and you lay on your back. You get back onto your hoof but you feel really dizzy. You try to walk forwards but you end up going to the right and crashing into the fence Dash walks up to you and helps you up "You okay?" she asks "Yeah I'm fine" you say "What where you saying Applejack?" asks Dash turning to the apple farmer "Well...I...hmm" "OH, I get it you don't feel conferable talking about this type of stuff in public" says Rainbow Dash "Star you have to leave" "Why?" You asks "Girl talk" Dash says bluntly "...fine, I be finishing off the field" you say the spreading you wings and flying toward the field You buck the last apple tree in the field. You look around the field just to make sure that yo didn't leave a tree with a single apple on it. "There you are!" a voice call from behind you You turn around to see Cloudchaser flying towards you in full speed, she was holding rope as she get closer and closer. She also had a maniacal look on her face "Oh horse feathers" you say and then flying away towards the barn You fly as fast as your wings could go but Cloudchaser was right on your tail. You try to pick up as pace with your wings but Cloudchaser has obviously been practicing her speed. You almost reach the barn until and rope wraps around your body and arm. The rope tightens stopping you in mid air. You try to flap your wings but they where trapped by the rope. "DASH! DASH HEL-" The hoof cover your mouth and Cloudchaser whisper in your ear. "Hush my little pony, you don't want to be in anymore trouble then you already are" Beads of sweat start to run down your face as Cloudchaser still has her hoof over your face Luckily you see Dash and Applejack run out the barn and look around. Applejack sees you and points and Dash looks to where you are. Dash flys up into the air and fly towards you and Cloudchaser. Choudchaser sees Dash flying toward her direction so she quickly places tape round your mouth, places the end of the rope in her mouth and fly away as quick as she can while dragging you in the air with her. "Cloudchaser what the hay do you think you're doing?" Dash asks while catching up the Cloudchaser "He's mine now Dashie" She say while still holding on the end of the rope "Cloudchaser stop right now!" Dash shouts as she gets closer and closer to Cloudchaser "NO! HE'S MINE!" Chouldchaser shouts back Rainbow Dash catch up to Cloudchaser quickly, but instead of helping you out she flys past you and heads for Clouchaser. Dash flys to Cloudchaser side a quickly shoulder barges her. The impact from the shoulder barge causes Cloudchaser to let go of the rope. You start to fall as they keep flying. You try to wiggle your way out of the rope but there was no use the rope was too tight. You close your eyes and get ready for the impact of the ground crush and braking all your bone. You feels yourself hit something soft. You open your eyes to see that you're in a hay stack. You hear some of the hay being moved and some light starts to form. You see Applejack's face and you couldn't be happier. "There you are" She says with a smile She grabs the rope around you body and pulls you out of the hay. You fall out the stack and hit the ground. You let out a muffled 'oww' "Oh, sorry sugar cube" Applejacks says with a giggle She grabs hold hold of the tape around you mouth "This will only hurt for a second" You give on nod "On 3" she says "1...2..." She rips the tape of your mouth and your muzzle burns like fire "OWWWW!!" you shout "What happened to 3?!" you asks with anger and pain "I'm sorry sugar cube, I could pass up opportunity" she say with a chuckle "The nerve of that mare" a cyan Pegasus says landing next to Applejack "Thinking that she could just steal my coltfriend like that" "Now that over, can you please untie me" You say still laying on the ground "I don't know" say Dash "you look kinda cute when your all tie up and defenseless like that, don't you think Applejack" "I'm gonna have to agree with you there Dash" say Applejack Dash whispers something something into Applejacks ear. Applejack nods her head in agreement and they both look down at you with very seductive smirks. "W-What are you two doing?" you asks with a hint of fear They both get closer and closer to you "Oh, we're just gonna have some fun" "What do you-" You where cut of my Applejack shoving a apple into your mouth. They both giggle and pick you up are carry you into the barn. When they get into the barn they open up a hatch and carry you down it. They place you on the floor near the corner. You look at them the fear in your eyes and sweat running down your face. They at you with devious smiles and half shut eyes. Dash walks up to slowly and seductively. You start to shake because you have no idea what they where about to do. She give a quick kiss on the nose and walks back to applejack who now has a stick and string in her hoofs. You start to sweat more because you think that she's about to hit you with it. Dash opens her wings and Applejack pulls of a feather and ties to the end of the stick They walk closer to you and stand at least 5 meters away from you. You start to sweat more because you knew what was about to happen. The feather on the end of the stick get closer and closer to you. The try to wiggle around so that the stick could get to you. The feather comes into contact with your body and you start to laugh uncontrollably but your laugh is muffled because of the apple still in your mouth. (A/N: Had you going there for a minute didn't I ;P) You spit the apple out of your mouth and release your laugh. You can also hear the girl laugh, but not with you, AT you. "P-P-Pleeease S-Stooooopp" you say still laughing and with tear forming in your eyes "Say I'm the best mare friend you've had" say Dash still giggling "Y-Y-Y-You're th-t-the b-b-best maref-friend I've e-ever h-h-h-h-had" you say while still getting tickled "Good" Dash say and then nods and Applejack as a signal to stop You finally stop laugh and fall to the floor and try to get your breath back. You look over at Dash and Applejack who are still laughing at you "Don't..Don't ever do that again" you say to them "What was that sugar cube? do it again?" Applejack say with a huge smile on her face Your eye widen as Applejack garbs the stick again "WHAT?! NO!!" you beg but the feather comes into your body again and you start to laugh uncontrollably again You lay there laughing your tail off and tear re-forming in your eyes again. Applejack drops the stick and fall to the floor laughing as well. Dash also falls to the floor but land on Applejack and they both lay there laughing like there was no tomorrow. You also laugh along with them so the three of you lay there in one big laughing fit. > When Anxiety Strikes > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 15 After you finished your work at Sweet Apple Acre you and Dash went to go a pick up Scootaloo from school. Scootaloo really wanted to have another flying lesson so of course you and Dash didn't give it a second thought, the three of you went running to the field. As soon as you get the usual training spot you and Dash toward Scootaloo. "Do you remember what we told you yesterday?" Dash ask "Yes, clear my mind and breathe easy" says Scootaloo "Good, do you remember what starting technique?" you asks "M hmm, Start of slow then build up speed" "YES! now start flapping those wings" Dash says acting like she's a drill Sargent "YES MA'AM!" shout Scootaloo with a salute Scootaloo closes her eyes start starts to flap her wings slowly and gets out light breaths as she slowly starts to float up from the ground. "That's it Scootaloo" say Dash happily Scootaloo starts to get further way from the ground as her little wings buzz. Scootaloo opens her eyes and her face beams with pure joy. Even though she was just 25 feet of the ground you could be any more happy for her. "Alright now fly and fly towards us" says Dash She slow fly turns her wing and start to fly towards you and Dash without any trouble "That's it Scoot you got it!" you say excitedly She slowly descends the the ground because her wings could lift her up anymore. As soon as her hoofs hit the ground and starts to jump around you and Dash happily. "Way to go Scoots that's a new record " you say watching her jump around "And you know what, I think Scoots getting a new records deserves a Pinkie shake, what do you think Star?" Dash say looking at you "What do you think Scoot?" you ask You didn't get a response so you look around to see if Scootaloo was still running around you and Dash "Scoots?" You see Scootaloo already running across filed "Last one there is a dirty griffon feather" Scootaloo shouts You and Dash laugh and case after her. You quickly catch up to Scootaloo but you keep behind her as she starts to giggle. The three of you run through the town dodging everypony in the town. You, Dash and Scootaloo finally reach sugar cube corner. Dash just about beat you and Scootaloo just beat Rainbow Dash by a tail. You stand in the middle of the bakery shop and catch your breath back. "Did you three just run a marathon?" a happy voice say complete with a giggle You look over to see a pink mare standing behind the contour "Hey Pinkie, No he just had a little run" said Dash walking up to the counter "I can tell" Pinkie say with another giggle "What can I get you three?" "Well since Scoots here just beat her record for flying, we thought she deserves a Pinkie shake" you ruffling Scootaloo's mane "Wait to go Scooty, I'll make this one extra-" "SCOOTALOO!?!" a voice says from the entrance of sugar cube corner You all look to the door to see an clearly drunk orange coated stallion with a red mane. Scootaloo ear fall to her head at the sight of her father, she then hinds behind you and Dash. He wobbles over to you and Dash. "Where have you been for the last 2 nights?" he asks stopping in front of you "She was staying with us" say Dash "What? why was she staying with you?" he asks "Because she doesn't need to go back to a drunken and abusive father!" Dash shouts You can also hear Pinkie give out a little gasp "Oh, what you think you can go a better job of taking care of this filly?" he say pointing to Scootaloo "We've been doing alright so far" you say "What makes you think you've been going a good job!?" Sky Rider says now looking at you "We've fed her, given her a roof over her head, given her a bed to sleep in" "What? and I haven't?!" "Judging by the state you're in right now and the millions of beer cans in your home, I'm going to go with a no" you say "How dear you!" "NO! how dear you! you have a great little filly as a child and you treat her as dirt! you're lucky we don't turn you in to the Princess for child abuse!" you say getting in his face "And how would turn me into the princess?!" He asks with anger "My friend is the personal student of the princess herself, and all we need to do with make one letter and BOOM you're gone!" say Rainbow Dash Sky Rider looks in to your eyes with rage filling him "Come on Scootaloo we're going home" say Sky Rider turning around and facing the door "No" says Scootaloo coming out from behind Dash's leg "What did you say to me?!" Sky Rider say turning towards Scootaloo "I said No" Scootaloo repeats "I don't want to go back with you, these two have been more of a family to me you have EVER been" "Alright FINE! say with them, I don't care! it will be a load of my shoulders!" Sky Rider shouts "Fine!" Scootaloo shouts back "Fine! goodbye and good riddance!" Sky Rider shouts and walks out the door and flying away You, Dash and Pinkie all stand there in shock of what happened. Scootaloo has tears forming in her eyes but she try's to stop them from falling out. You know that Sky Rider has to be feeling some pain. Scootaloos eyes are locked on the front door of sugar cube corner. "Do you still want that Pinkie Shake Scooty?" asks Pinkie pie, but she her tone of voice wasn't happy, it was more of a sad tone "No" Scootaloo says and then looks up at Dash "Can we just go home, I mean can I call it home?" "Of course you can, I mean what else are you gonna call it" You, Dash and Scootaloo walk out of sugar cube corner. Dash lowers herself down so that Scootaloo can get on. Scoots gets on Dash's back and hold on tight. You all fly up into the air and towards to the cloud home. You and Dash who has Scootaloo on her back land out side the front door. Dash unlocks the door and you all walk in. Scoot gets of Dash's back and walks towards her room. "You okay Scootaloo?" you asks "Yeah, I just want to be alone right now" She say as she walk closer to her bedroom door "Come out when you're ready" Dash says You walk over to the sofa and sit down letting out a sigh.Dash comes and sits next you and places her head on your shoulder, you start to stroke Dash mane as you sit there quite. "What a terrible end to a prefect afternoon" you say "I know, I don't think things can get-" You cover Dash mouth before she says the full sentence. Dash lifts her head of your shoulder an pushes your hoof away from her mouth "Why did you do that?" she asks with annoyances in her voice "Because when you say that something worst happens" you say "You're such and idiot" Dash say crossing her arms "That's not very nice" you say pouting which cause Dash to giggle "But I would have you any other way" she says then places her lip onto yours You and Dash lay on the sofa making out for what seems like five minutes. You both brake away from kissing and look into each others eyes and smile at each other. Dash smiles seems to fade with get you a little bit worried "What are we gonna do with Scoots now?" Dash asks "I don't know, I guess we could always...you know" "You...you mean, adopt?" Dash say quietly You nod your head "We can't be parents" Dash say still keeping her voice down "I not saying we become her parents, I'm saying we should become her legal guardians" you suggest "A-Are you sure" You nod your head again "What else are we gonna do? leave her out in the cold?" "Are you sure you want to do this?" "Yes I'm sure" "Alright, I'm with you" You smile at her and then connect your lips onto hers. "When do you think she should tell her or the others?" you asks "Lets just keep it to ourselves for now" "Keep what to yourselves?...if you don't mind me asks" a little voice asks from behind you You look over to see where the voice came from to see Fluttershy standing at the door way trying to hind behind her hair. "I can't believe I left the door open again" you say in a whisper "Hey Fluttershy, what brings you here?" Asks Dash as she gets of the sofa and walking towards her "Oh, well...me and the girls were gonna have a get together at Twilight Library and I wanted to ask if you two and Scootaloo wanted to come along....but if you don't want to then that's fine" "Sure we'll come, I'll just go get Scootaloo" Dash say walking away to Scootaloos room Dash opens the door to Scootaloo room and disappears into the bedroom "So how have you been Fluttershy?" you asks "I've been okay" she say hiding behind her hair "And how are your animals?" "Oh, they've been doing well, they're happy, healthy and well fed" she say coming out of her shy shell "That's good to hear, found any new animal recently?" "Yes, I found a cute family of parakeets just outside the everfree forest" A door opens from down the hall and Dash walks out with Scootaloo behind her "You okay Scoots?" you asks getting up from the sofa "Yeah, I'm okay now" She say with a smile You, Dash, Scootaloo and Fluttershy walk out to the house. Scootaloo gets onto Dash's back, You all spread your wings and fly towards the library. After a couple of minutes of flying you land in front of the door of the library. Fluttershy knocks on the door while Scootaloo gets of Dash's back and you all wait for the door to open. The door opens to show a purple unicorn stand at the other side. "Hello everypony come on in" Twilight says then walking back into the library You all walk in to see the rest of your friend sitting in the middle of the room talking and drinking some cider and tea. "The rest of the crusaders are in the other room Scootaloo" say Twilight looking down at the orange filly "Oh, Okay" Scootaloo say with excitement and then runs into the other room "Well Hello, Dash and StarGazer, It's nice to see" says Rarity string her cup of tea "Hey Rarity" Dash says as you, Fluttershy and Dash walking over the rest of the group You take a sit and start to talk Time - 7:30 After a couple of hours of talking, laughing and having a happy old time while the cutie mark crusaders are having fun in another room. Dash pokes you in the side and you look over to her and she whisper in your ear "Do you think we should tell them?" she asks "Yeah" you whisper back "Er guys" Dash say which catches everypony attention "Me and Star where talking earlier and we deiced on something" says Dash "You two are getting married?!" Rarity asks with excitement for some reason "WHAT!? NO!" Dash shouts with a blush "Then what is it?" asks Twilight "Well earlier today Scootaloos and her dad had a fight and Scootaloos dad doesn't want anything to do with her" Everypony face is filled with shock, even Pinkie Pies face was filled with shock and she was there when it happened. "So anyway she's got no one to look after her, So me and Star came up with the idea so maybe adopting her" "YESYESYESYESYESYEYSYEYSYEYSYEYSYESYES!!!" Shouts Pinkie jumping up and down "You two will make good parents" "No, we're just gonna become her gardens" you say "Still, you two will make get gardens, and you have my full blessing" say Rairty "I think it's wonderful that you two are doing this, you got my support" adds Twilight "Its a grate idea" says Fluttershy "Oh please, ya can't be serious" say Applejack All of you look over to Applejack with different emotions "W-What do you mean Applejack?" Asks Dash "You two can't look after a filly full time, You two are the most irresponsible pony I know" she explains Your hearts starts to beat hard "But, we-" "No! don't have to do this!" Applejack continues cutting Dash off Your heart starts to beat harder that it starts to pulsate in your throat and you notice that your arm starts to shake "We do Applejack, she got nowhere else and her Dad just left" says Dash "Her dad was drunk! He probably wasn't think straight!" Your stomach and chest muscle start to fell really tense and breathing starts to get faster and more shallow "And you do realize he could come back and take her since she is his child!" Applejack says You start to glance around the ponies near you and you start to feel dizzy. You feel a hoof touch your arm and you look over to see Fluttershy with a worried look. "Are you okay?" She asks quietly The confusion and fear and you feel start to send you into a panic, the sensation intensifies. You get up and run towards the front door. You open the door and run outside and then fall to your knees. You start to breath harder and take in the fresh air and you start to calm down. Every pony runs out of the library and rush to your aid. Rainbow Dash is the first one to come to you. "Star are you okay?" she asks with fear "Yeah" you say look up at her "What just happen?" asks Pinkie "Star, I believe you just had a anxiety attack" say Twilight walking over and standing next to you "Anxiety attack?!" you asks with fear "Has anything like this ever happened before?" asks Twilight "No, not that I can remember" you say getting back to your hoofs "I think you should go to a hospital" say Applejack "No! I'm fine it was probably a one time thing" you say look towards everyone "StarGazer dare, you should really go get this checked out" adds Rarity "I'm fine" "StarGazer you-" "I SAID I'M FINE!" you shout which cause everyone to look at you with worried looks "Sorry, It's just that I don't want anything like this to happen again and you where all poring question out the ass and it kinda got me stressed" you continue "We're sorry two" say Applejack "Can we go inside now, Its getting a little cold" Say rainbow dash You all agree and walk back inside the library. > Insert Awesome Chapter Name Here > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 16 "So you two are really go through the this?" Asks Applejack taking a sip of her cider "Yeah we are" says Dash getting annoyed "You got a problem with it?" "Well a matter of fact I-" "Applejack" you say cutting her off "I'm gonna make this real simple, shut up" "I'm just trying to-" "Help?" you say Applejack nods her head slightly "You're not helping at all, all you're trying to do is make me and Dash think twice about OUR decision!" you saying getting onto you hoofs "I don't know why I don't do this earlier but.." you continue reaching into your wing and pulling out some bits and trowing so they land in front of A.J "There's your money, don't expect me to show up at the farm tomorrow" You sit back down next to Dash with a blank expression on your face while everypony else is is look at your with shock. You look at the faces that everypony is giving you "What?" "Do don't have to be so rude, she just want to explain herself" Rarity says looking at you "OH! you want to talk about not listen to someone who wants to explain? " you say stand up again "If you remember NONE of you would listen to me when I wanted to explain myself" you say looking at everyone of them, They all look down at the floor knowing that you're right you then turn around and look back at Rarity "So don't you sit there and talk to me about NOT LISTENING!!!" "I think we should get going before Star has another anxiety attack" Dash says grabbing your arm and pulling towards the door "SCOOTALOO!" "Yeah?" a little voice says from another room "Come on, we're going" Dash says as you walk trough the front door of the library "Okay" the little voice says as a door opens and a little orange filly walks out "See you girls tomorrow" she say looking back into the room You stand outside looking up at all the stars in the sky. "You ready to go?" Dash asks the Scootaloo on her back "Yep" replies Scootaloo "You okay?" Dash asks walking to your side "I'm fine" you say giving her a smile You both spread your wings and fly into the night sky. You open the door to the cloud home and let Dash and Scootaloo walk in before you. You close the door behind you and walk over to the kitchen to grab a drink. Dash walks over to you and whisper in your ear "Do you think we should tell her?" Dash asks "I dunno. Should we keep it a surprise?" "Keep what a surprise?" a little voice say from behind you and dash You turn around to see Scootaloo with her head tilted like a dog would when its confused. "Ummm... a surprise for... umm" you say with your looking around the room trying to think of a excuse "A present!" Says Dash "For who?" Asks Scootaloo "RoseBeat" Dash reply which make your open your eyes wide open and look at Dash "Is it her birthday soon?" "Yep!" Dash says out load with a smile "Oh Cool" Scootaloo says happily "When is it? Can we go see her? I like her, she's nice" say continues bursting out random questions "It pretty soon" you say lying trough your teeth "And maybe will go visit her" "Awesome!" "Anyway, It time for you to brush your teeth and get to bed squirt" Dash say trying to get Scootaloo out of the kitchen Scootaloo turns around and walks towards the bathroom, The door close and you give dash a disappointing look "What?" Dash asks with confusion "Really? are you serious?" "What??" Dash asks again "You had to use my sister, out of all ponies, MY SISTER?!" "S-Sorry" says Dash apologizing "Could've you of used one of your family members?" you asks "Y-Yeah, I could of" Dash say looking down at the floor "Then why didn't you?" "I DON'T KNOW OKAY!!!" Dash shouts at you "I panicked" "Dash..." you say looking down at the floor "You can be so stupid, ignorant and idiotic" "HEY!" Dash shouts once again "HOW DEAR YO-" You cut her off by placing your hoof on her lips and using your wing and bring her closer to you. Dash looks up at in confusion while you smile down at her with your hoof still on her lips. "But THAT is what I love about you" You say taking your hoof her lips "Are you sure you love me because of my awesomeness, flying skills and my sexy flank?" Dash asks with a smirk "That too" You and Dash press your lips on to each other and sit in a passionate kiss. You rub you hoof down her body and her wings, a little moan escaped from dash mouth and into the air. Soon a door opens and a little filly steps out which makes you and Dash stop kissing and look at her. Scootaloo rolls her eyes and walk down to her room. "Goodnight love birds" She says before closing the door behind her You and Dash sit with smirks on your faces not trying to laugh. You start to feel a poking on your back that wakes you up "Star" a sleepy female voice say You turn around to see very sleepy Rainbow maned mare "Yeah?" you ask "Can you get Scootaloo ready for school?"Dash asks "Why don't you do it?" Because I did it yesterday" You let out a big sigh and roll of the bed and walk towards the door "Thanks" say Rainbow Dash before returning to her sleep You close the door slowly behind you and walk down to a little orange filly's room. You open the door to the room slowly to see a little sleeping Pegasus. You smile by the site of the cute little ball of fur. You walk into the room and stand next to her bed and shake it slightly. A frustrated moan comes from Scootaloo "Come on Scoot time for you to get ready for School" you say still shaking the bed "No" says Scootaloo swiping her hoof at you "Alright, Do I need to call the Mr tickle?" you say with a sly smile Before Scootaloo could answer, you pounce on the bed and start to tickle the small filly. Cute little giggles escape from the filly "OoooOkay I-I-I'm Up, I'm Up" says the giggling filly You stop tickling her and get off the bed walk towards the door. You stop before the open the door to make sure that Scootaloo was out of her bed. Scootaloo rolls of the bed and walks over to you. You open the door and let Scootaloo go out first. You follow Scootaloo into the main room and you head to the kitchen. You stop and turn towards Scootaloo "What do you want to breakfast Scoot?" You asks "Can I just have oats please?" Scootaloo asks "Of course" you say then entering the kitchen After Scootaloo had finished eating, brushed her, brushed her coat and mane, She grabed her saddle bag and walk out the front door with you. She hops onto your back and you spread your wings and fly towards the school house On the way to the School Scootaloo asks you many question on the way 'How did you learn how to fly?' 'What was it like when your first got off the ground?' and 'Whens are next flying lesson?'. You answered all the question best that you can. You reached the school house and Scootaloo jumps off your back and heads to the front door "Thanks Star!" Scootaloo say waving to you before entering the the school You where about to fly away when... "Well, Well, Well" > Who Would of Guessed > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 17 "Well, Well, Well" a voice says from behind you You slowly turn your head around to see who it was. You were expecting ThunderLane or Cloudchaser to be standing there waiting for you. But to your surprise it Flitter. Flitter of all ponies who would of guessed? "Why isn't it StarGazer" she say with a smirk "Yeah... And?" you ask raising and eyebrow "I don't like what you've done to my sister" she says "What did I do?" "You made her crazily obsessed with you" she says with a unamused face "And I want you to fix her" "And how do you expect me to fix her? I'm not a unicorn you know" you reply "Well duh, I know you're not a unicorn" she says rolling her eyes "I just want you to talk to her" "I've done that multiple times" "I mean really talk to her, not just saying you're never going to be with her or saying that I'm the cuter one... thanks for that by the way" she says with a blush "Just stop her from getting on the crazy train and leaving forever" "I'll think about it" you say turning around You try to fly away but you feel you tail being grabbed. You turn your head to see Flitter say a hold of your tail. She wasn't going to get go anytime soon so you land on the ground again. "No, you're not going to think about it, You're going to do it" she says with the most serious face ever "And what if I don't?" "You're going to me make loose my temper in a minute" Flitter says angrily "Look, don't make this harder then it needs to be, just talk to her, and we'll leave you alone so you can carry on with your relationship with Rainbow Dash" she continues "Sound good?" You roll the idea in your mind for a while thinking of the pro's an con's of this idea. You look at Flitter and sigh "Alright fine" you agree "Thank you, just meet me by our house at three thirty okay?" You give a simple nod before she fly's away. You fly back home and open the door, you assume that nopony home so you fall onto the couch about to fall asleep until you notice at note on the coffee table. The note was very badly hoofwriten so you assume that it was from dash StarGazer Could you be the most awesomeist coltfriennd ever and go get the new daring doo book from Twilight please Love you Rainbow Dash You set the note down and walk out the door and fly over to Twilights library. After a short flight over you land in front of the door and open it... it is an public library after all. "Hello?" you say as you walk in "Oh, Hi Stargazer, what brings you here?" Twilight ask after setting on books back onto the shelf "Dash wanted me to get the new daring doo book for her" you explain to a lavender unicorn "Oh sure, they're just over there" Twilight say pointing to one of the shelves You tort over to the self and was about the grab the new until something grabs your eye. Leaning next to one of the books is another book which had the name anxiety in big letters. You grab the book and look over to Twilight who was facing away from you "Did you put this here?" You ask Twilight slowly turn towards you and get a closer look at the book, she try's to put on a innocent smile but It doesn't work very well "Er... No" she says "Twilight, look" you begin walking over to her "I know you and the others were worried when I had that panic attack yesterday, but I promise you I'm fine" "But could you just take it anyway, I mean you never know what could happen" say Twilight You sigh in frustration, but since Twilight is one of your marefriends friends, you accept to take the book along side the new daring doo book. After pay for the rental books you fly back home. You land back on the cloud and walk back inside your house. You set the D.D book on the table but you keep the anxiety with you.You lay down on the couch and look up at the book and start to read it. After a couple of pages about reading about this condition you book flys out of your hoofs. You look to see who the colporate was. Above you was a lovely Rainbow maned mare, she looked down at you with her bedroom eyes and biting her lip. "Can I help you?" you ask "Since Scootaloo at school and I have the day off, I was thinking we should get to that celebration about you getting my perants acceptance" POMF, suddenly your wing shot up "That what I thought" Dash say before she starts to kiss you passionately. "One more time?" Dash ask as she follows you out the bedroom "No" you says as you walk into the kitchen to get a glass of water "Ohhh Come ooooonnnnn" Dash say whining like a little filly "I though you loved me" "I do love you" you say smiling at her Dash walks up to you and starts to kiss you on the neck. You look up at the clock to see that it's starting to reach three thirty. As Dash continues to kiss you on the neck, you start to come up with idea to try at get her off you. "Dash, don't you need to pick up Scootaloo from school?" you ask Dash stops kissing your neck at look up at you "Nope, she said that she's going crusading after school" she says then continues to kiss your neck "Ohh" Other idea start to swim into your head "Okay, but... don't you need to be somewhere?" "OH, you're right! I'm meeting up with the girls for lunch" says then trotting over to the door "I'll see you later" You wait for a couple of minutes until you know that Dash is far away from the house. You exit out f the house and fly over to ponyville. You fly in the air over ponyville and look down to see if you can find Flitter. You see her waiting in front of a house looking from side to side. You descend towards her a land in front witch makes her jump "Don't do that!" she yells "Sorry" you say with a chuckle "She's in her room at the moment, just let her down easy and hopefully she'll get over you" Flitter explains, then opening the door "Go upstairs, first room on the left" Before walking into the house you take a look around you to make sure that nopony was watching you, the last thing you want is to accused of cheating on Dash, luckily nopony was around so you walk into the house and walk upstairs. You locate the first door on the left and walk up to it. The door was open slightly so you push it open slowly, the room was dark and the curtains were shut. "Cloudchaser?" you say You fully walk into the room and look around to see with Cloudchaser was in. But the room was empty, you look over to the mirror only to be shocked at what you see. You see a bunch of pictures of you tape around the mirrors edge, most of the pictures you didn't even know were taken. "The hell" you say looking at the pictures Suddenly the door slams shut making you jump. You turn around to see Cloudchaser looking at you with a seductive smile, she walks over you slowly "I knew you couldn't stay away from me" she say as she gets closer and closer to you "You're crazy" you say backing away from her "Then why are you here?" she ask stopping inches away from you "I've come to talk to you" you say "You've finally come to your senescence and decided that you want to be with me?" she ask with hope "What? no!" you say "I've come to say, that you need to get over this obsession with me, You have a crush on me I get that, I really do, but your sister is very worried about you and she wants you to stop with all this" you pointing to the pictures of you on the mirror "Because that's really creepy" "I've had a crush on you ever since you had you 'Welcome To Ponyville' party, I can't just let go" she say sadly "I'm sure theres plenty of stallions out there for you, you just have to look instead of just trying to get me" you say "I... I guess you're right, thanks" she says with a smile "Great" you say then walk towards the door only to be stopped by Cloudchaser "Can I at least have one Kiss?" she ask "No" "It was worth a shot" she say with a giggle and getting out of your way You walk out of the bedroom to see Flitter waiting there "Well? how did it go?" she asks "I think I got it sorted" > Bad News First, Good News Second > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 18 You walking into your home and head towards the couch, you fall onto the couch and let out a happy sigh. As you were about to close your eye and about to have a little nap the door swings open. You sit up and look over to the door to see Rainbow Dash with a folder in her mouth. She places the folder on the table and walks over to you. "You would never guess what just happened" She say frantically "What?" you ask --- Rainbow Dash lands at a table where all her friends are waiting for her. "Hey girls" Rainbow Dash greets them "Howdy Rainbow" Applejack greets her back Dash sits down in a empty seat "How have you guys been?" Dash asks taking one of the manu's "I've been good, the business has been a little slow " Say rarity steering her tea "Are you lady's ready to order" A stallions voice says catching all of there attention After ordering there lunch they go back to there conversations. Applejack said she manged to complete the whole of the east field, Twilight did some reports for the princess and some experiments, Fluttershy found some more animals and Pinkie Pie still being herself and been pulling pranks and party's for ponies. After a while there lunch was served and they didn't hesitate to dig in to there food. A couple of minutes later they were half way down with there food. "YOU!!!" a voice shouts They turn towards the sound of the yelling to see none other then Scootaloo's drunken father, he has some suitcases with him and a folder. He slams the folder in front of Dash. The rainbow maned mare looks up at the drunk stallion in confusion. "There" he begins "There's all the paper work, all you need is to sign it and she's all yours" "W-What?" Dash asks in shock "You said it yourself, you're more of a family to her then I am" He yells "So take, I'm leaving this town anyway" he continues then grabbing his suitcase "You can't just leave your daughter like this" say Applejack "Watch me" Sky Rider say then flying away --- You stare at Rainbow in Shock "That really happened?" you question "Yeah" she says "Would I ever make stuff up like that" she continues with a serious face "Okay, okay" you say trying to calm her down They was a awkward silence between both of you. You know that you both are asking the same question, and you're both to nervous to say it out loud. "So, you think we should sign the paper" Dash ask braking the silence "Well..." you say scratching your neck "Do you want too?" Dash stays quiet for a couple of second before speaking again. "Yes, Yes I do" she say with a smile, You smile back at her and get off the sofa and walk towards the folder that Dash placed on the table earlier. You grab the file and take out the adoption form and place it on the table. Dash garbs a pen and looks at you. "You ready?" She say holding the pen in her mouth You give her a nod, She signs the dotted line with her initials. She hoofs over the pen over to you and you also sign the paper with your initials next to Dash's. You set the pen down and now it's official, you and Dash are now the official guardians of Scootaloo. "So, it's now official" Dash begins "We are now the official gardens of one awesome little filly" "Yep" you say with a smile You press your lip on Dash's and stand in a kiss. "Rainbow Dash, StarGazer!" a little voice shouts from the outside the house You and Dash stop kissing and trot outside. You look over the edge of the cloud to see a little orange filly waiting to back up onto the cloud. Dash flys down and grabs the filly and fly back to the cloud. The three of you head back into the house. As you walk into the middle of the house, you and Dash turn to Scootaloo "Scootaloo" Dash says slowly "We have something to tell you" "What is it?" Scootaloo say tilting her head "Well, your Dad left Ponyville and said that he's not coming back" Scootaloo looks down at the floor and mutters the word "Good". "But, not only have one peace of news to tell you" You say with a cocky tone "What's the good news" Scoots asks "Why don't you read it for yourself" Dash say hoofing over the adoption paper Scootaloo takes the paper and reads it. As her eyes scans the paper, tears start to dell up and slowly run down her face. She places the paper on the floor and then look up at you and Dash. Scootaloo doesn't say anything so just jumps up at Dash and you. You and Dash hold Scootaloo in a hug without saying a word. "Thank you so much" She say still with tears running down her face "I love you guys" "We love you too, Scoots" Dash for you and herself > Scoots, Trains and Perents > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 19 You, Dash and Scootaloo are sitting in Sugar Cube Corner each sipping a Pinkie Shake. As you're sipping the shake you're also writing two letter to your parents and one for Rose Beat to let them know about this sudden commitment to a little filly. "What are you doing?" asks Dash "Writing a letter to my parents and Rose Beat" you say still with the straw in your mouth "Why?" "Because I think they should know about this adoption thing" "Why don't we just go and visit them?" suggest Scootaloo You drop the pen and look over at Scootaloo. Scoots looks at you with a mixed reaction of confusions and a bit of fear and flinches a little thinking that she had done something wrong. "That... is a good shout there Scoots" you say that makes the little filly smile "So when should we go?" asks Dash looking at you "This weekend? Scootaloo still has school" you say and Dash nods her head in agreement The bell to Sugar Cube Corner rings and two pairs of hoof steps come closer and closer towards your table. "Howdy " a southern voice says You all look over to the where voice came from to see earth pony who live at Sweet Apple Acres, Applejack and Applebloom. "Mind if we join ya?" asks Applejack "Sure, go ahead" say Rainbow The two apples sisters grab a few spare chairs and pull them towards the table sit down. But before Applebloom sits down she grabs Scootaloo into and hugs her tight. You can she on the expression on Scootaloo face that she was not expecting the hug "I'm so happy for you Scootaloo" Applebloom cheers "I'm happy that you finally got away from your mean parents "You and me both" Scootaloo chuckles "We all are Scootakins" you say with a grin Scootaloo stops Applebloom from hugging her and looks at you with annoyance "Don't call me that" You look over a Applejack how happens to be looking at you as well "Applejack" You say getting her attention "I just wanted to say I'm sorry for the way I acted a couple of days ago an-" Applejack raises her hoof making you stop mid sentence. "It's okay Star, I forgive ya' I wasn't thinking straight either" She says with a smile "So you're not mad at me?" She shacks her head a start to speak again "Nah, I can't stay mad at you" Dash looks at Applejack in confusions "What do you mean by that Applejack?" Dash questions "You have to admit Dash, it's kind of hard to stay mad at him" Applejack explains then look at you with a strange look on her face "True true" Dash say nodding her head "Especially with his perfect eyes" Applejack continues looking at you with a flirty look "Err Applejack?" you say getting uncomfortable "And his smooth like mane and coat and-" "APPLEJACK!!" Dash shouts slamming her hoofs on the table, causing Applejack to brake a rant about you "What are you talking about Star like that!" Applejack covers her muzzle realising what she just said. Rainbow glares at Applejack with rage. "Do you have a crush on StarGazer?" Scootaloo speaks up Applejack scrunches up her muzzle, Dash get closer to Applejack still with rage of fire in her eyes "Well?!" Says Dash "Do you?!" Beads of sweat run don Applejack face as she darts her eyes around looking for a excuse. "Heh, look at the time we gotta get goin'" Applejack say grabbing Applebloom hooves and darting out of the bakery shop "Well that was anticlimactic " say Scootaloo then taking a sip of her Pinkie shake "Scootaloo, that doesn't really apply to this type of situation... or does it?" you ask rising an eyebrow at Dash, in which she responds with a shrug - After a couple of days it was finally the weekends during the week you and Dash would pick up Scootaloo from school and give her some more flying lessons. And now it was time to head back to Fillydelphia, your parents knew you were coming since you sent them a latter in advance. You, Dash and Scootaloo are sitting on the train to Fillydelphia, you see that Scootaloo is looking out the window and she has a worried look on her face. "Scoots, what's the matter?" you ask her She turns to you and says "W-What if your parents don't like me, what if they hate me, then they'll hate you and dash, then you and Dash will-" You cover scoots mouth before she could continue her train of thought. "Scoot, you have nothing to worry about, they're going to love you" you say with a smile, then taking your hoof away from her mouth "In fact, they sent me a letter saying that they're excited to meet you" "T-They are?" She question with a tone of shock in her voice You give a little nod "And Rose Beat might be there as well" "She will?" asks Dash "Yeah, she wants to see Scootaloo again, more then she wants to see me" you chuckle Scootaloo's nerves seems to calm down a bit and she seems a bit more happy. You also notice that Dash lets out a yawn that make you chuckle "Tired are we?" you asks with a smirk, Dash hits your arm while saying 'Shut up' After a couple of hours the train finally comes to a stop and Dash, Scootaloo and yourself walk of the train and head out the train station and walk down Fillydelphia. Scootaloo is in 'awh' of the city, you can tell that she's never been in a city like this before, even though Dash has been here already she also looks around likes she's been here before. After walking around and giving a little tour of the city, you finally reach your parents house. "So this is the house you grew up in huh?" ask Dash "Pretty much" you say then knocking on the door After wait patiently the door finally open revealing your mother. "Stargazer" she say happily then pulling in you in for a hug "Hi mum" you say hugging her back She lets go of you and look towards Dash a smiles "Hello again Dash" "Hi Mrs..." Dash then pauses because she forgot your mums name "Rose Petal" Your mum says "Well don't just stand out there, come on in" you mum say stepping away from the door so you can walking in You're confused by that fact that she didn't mention Scootaloo. You look back at the little filly to find that she hid behind Dash, so you can see why your mum didn't see her You, Dash and Scootaloo, who was still hiding behind Dash leg, walking in to your old house and head towards the front room where you found your dad standing in the middle of the room. "Hey Star" You dad greets you with a smile "Hello again Dash" "Hello, Mister StarGazers father" Dash says, you give a slight smirk at your dad in which she rolls his eyes with a slight smile on his face "You really didn't remember our names" your mum says walking into the room A little chuckle comes from Dash, while she scratches the back of her neck, "Heh, no" "So, Mum, Dad" you say catching their attention "This is Scootaloo" You and Dash step out of the way so that Scootaloo was in there line of vision, Scootaloo realises that you and Dash stepped out of way and she freezes up. As soon as your mums eyes lay sight on Scoots she instantly thinking about cuddling the filly. "It's nice to finally meet you Scootaloo" your mum says in a sweet tone "H-Hi" Scootaloo says nervously "Awwh, there's no need to be nervous" Your mother continue walking over to her slowly with a smile "Yeah, come on Scoot" You say look down at scootaloo Finally Scootaloo calms down and smiles back at your mum. You all take a seat on the couch and sit in a minute of silence. "So Scootaloo, from what Star told us you didn't exactly have the best family" Say your father "T-That's right sir" say Scootaloo "Oh please call me Frost Bite, it makes me feel old" you Dad says chuckling "But you are old Dad, you're like 70" you say with a smirk because you know that your dad didn't like old jokes, your also hear Dash and Scoots giggle slightly "I'm 54 thank you very much" he say angrily, looking at you straight in the eye while you still smirk "So Dash, Scootaloo" Your mother says catching their attention "Is this your first time Fillydelphia?" "Well, this is my second time, my first time here I didn't really get a chance to look around because I was looking for Star" explains Dash "But this is Scootaloo first time" she continues ruffling Scoots mane Suddenly Knocking on the door interrupts your conversation . Your mother getting off the couch and walks over to the door. Suddenly you hear a voice you recognize "Hi, Mum" the voice says "Hi Rose Beat, come in" Your sister walks into the room and everyone says "Hello" at the same time. Usually You would be the first to get a hug from Rose Beat, but instead she grabs Scootaloo first and hugs her tightly. "I'm SSSOOO happy for you!!" She says soundly like Pinkie She finally lets go of Scoots and walks over to you and Dash. She gives Dash a quick little hug, she then hugs you tightly "I've missed you" she say still hugging you "It's only been a week" you say still hugging her "I know, but I just missed your voice" she says letting go of you "Like when we were little, and when I came back from school you would come running to me saying 'Wose Beat, Wose beat, I missed you'" Your sister continues giggling "Ohh, that is embarrassing" Dash says with a giggle "Surely you don't some pretty silly stuff when you were a filly, Dash" you say raising and eyebrow at her "Like you did, Star?" your mum says with a little smile "Exactly" Dash rolls her eyes and look towards your mum "Do you remember any silly stuff Star did a foal?" asks Dash "What kind of question is that? of course I do" She says happily "Can you tell us?" Says Scootaloo "I'd be happy to" you mum says with a smile "Oh No" you say out loud -- After a couple of embarrassing stories that had Dash and Scoots in a fit of giggles, it was time to head home, after saying good bye to your family, you, Dash and Scoots headed back to the train station. After a long train ride back your finally reach Ponyville. On the way back Scootaloo had fallen asleep so says that she was going to carry her on her back so he doesn't wake up. After walking through Ponyville you get stopped by a lavender unicorn. "Guys, I have some good news" she says excitedly "You cured cancer" you guess "I wish" she says "Anyway here's the good news" She pauses leaving you and Dash on the edge of your hoofs "We got tickets to the Grand Galloping Gala" > Viva Festival > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 20 It's been a month since Twilight has announced that see been given tickets to the grand galloping gala, I came a surprise to you because she even handed you a ticket. "Why I'm I here again?" you asks "Where here because we need to make you a suit for the gala" says Rarity using her magic to use a measuring you "I've made the sketch of what the suit will look what do you think" she continues The drawing was a black suit with a striped tie and meddles hanging out of the pockets of the coat. "Eh, it's alright" you say "Alright? alright?!" she says like she was affined by that comment "What do you mean it alright?!" "Well, it's missing something" you say kind of backing off a little because of the look that Rarity is giving you "And what would that be?" she asks You look around the shop looking for something that would make the suit a lot less bland. Then suddenly you see it on the top of the cabernet. A top hat. "That" you say walking over to the hat "Huh?" You pick up the hat from the cabernet and place it on your head and look over at Rarity with a slight smile. "This is what it needs" "StarGazer, that hat won't go with the suit please take it off" "Don't bother Rarity" a voice say walking though the door of the shop "Once StarGazer has set his mind on something there's no talking him out of it" "Rainbow Dash, darling!" Rarity says happily "Please tell you kept your dress from last year in fine condition" "Yes Rarity the dress is fine" Dash says rolling her eyes "Splendid" Rarity says turning back to you "Now as for you, take that hat off" Rolling your eyes to take the hat off and place it back on the cabernet. "I'll have this suit ready for your by tomorrow so come by then and we'll have a fitting" says Rarity "Alrighty then" You say walking over to Dash You and Dash walk out of Rarity's shop and walk around town. It took you just now to notice that Scootaloo isn't with Dash "Where's Scoots-me-goots?" you ask "Why do you keep making up nicknames for her?" Dash asks back "Am I not allowed to have multiple nicknames for her?" "No" she says with a slight giggle You start to pout at her, which causes her to giggle more "Alright fine. You're only aloud three nicknames for her" You smile but then realise that Dash never answered your question "Anyway where is Scootakins?" "She's over at AppleBlooms house" "Up to more shenanigans?" "Most likely" You and your marefriend continue walking thought Ponyville until you notice a crowd starts to gather near town hall, curious to see what it see what's happening you and Dash fly up into the air to get a better look. You see that Mayor Mare "Fillies and Gentle colts" she begins "As the Grand Galloping Gala is coming up is only 14 days away and we will be holding a short festival tonight" "YEAH!" you shout then covering your mouth to realise that you're the only one to cheered "That's the sprit" Mayor Mare says looking at you with a smile "The festival starts a eight o'clock" Soon everybody starts to walk away, you and Dash fly through the air over Ponyville having nothing to do. "Do you want to check up on Scootaloo?" Dash asks you "Sure" you reply and fly over the apple farm "Race you there" Dash say quickly for flying off You fly after her as fast as you can, you managed to catch up with her but you noticed the she's doing the wing tricks that you taught her. You're proud of her that she finally managed to master it, but she's not a master like you are. You past her easily but then you start to Dash trying push you out the way. You finally reach the apple farm and land with pride, Dash was only a second behind you before she landed. You look at her with a smirk and she just rolls her eyes. "What brings you two here?" a big southern accent ask, turning around you see Big Mac with a cart that he's pulling. "We're just gonna check up on Scootaloo" explains Dash "There up at their club house at the south field" says Mac "Cheers" you say before trotting to the south field As you walk past the hundreds of apple trees looking for this clubhouse that the small filly own, As you're walking Dash still thinks that this is some type of race so she tries to stay ahead of you. You finally spot the tree house of in the distance and head for it. As you reach closer and closer to the tree house you start to hear some singing. You and Dash walk up the ramp quietly to not disturb the singing. As you reach the window you take a peak to see that the cutie mark crusaders are working on their next mission to get there cutie marks... well more of AppleBloom and Scootaloo working on it, Sweetie Belle is singing. "GUESS WHO!!!" you shout jumping into the club house though the window. The little fillies up out of their fur from your loud entrance while you and Dash start to laugh loudly. "Star! don't do that!" shout the little unicorn "I'm sorry" you say trying to control your laughter "I just couldn't pass up the opportunity" "What are your two doing here anyway?" asked the little filly that you are taking care off "We just came here to see what our little Scootakins is up to" you replies with a smirk "Stop calling me that" Scootaloo complains "We were just thinkin' of different ideas to get our cutie marks" Applebloom chimes in "What ideas have you come up with?" asks Dash jumping though the window "Hopefully nothing dangerous" you add "We have" Applebloom begins grabbing a piece of paper "Apple testers, water testers, track runners, longer jumpers, cupcake testers, bread makers, fire stoppers and crime stoppers" "Most of them involved food" says Rainbow Dash "So... why are you two here again?" ask Scootaloo's "Just making sure making sure you're not getting into trouble" you answer "And to tell you three that there will be a festival held tonight" "Really?" the three fillies say at the same time "Eeyup" "What time?" asks Sweetie Belle "Eight o'clock" Dash answers "Sweet!" say Scootaloo jumping in the air with excitement "I hate this brake this coversation" a classy voice says the door You all look over to see a white unicorn and a orange earth pony. "But it's time to head home now Sweetie Belle" Rarity says, the little unicorn trots towards her big sister "See you girls tomorrow" Sweetie Belle says before trotting away with her sister "Yeah we better get going as well" says Dash. Scootaloo jumps on Dash's back and you both fly out of the window As you, your marefriend and your little ball of orange fur fly over ponyville you see that Scootaloo has her arm raised in the air. You start to smile to see that she's loves every minute of being in the air. After dinner was eaten, the dish's were washed and everyponys stomach were full you all sit on the sofa. "How long till the festival?" asks Scootaloo You look over to the clock that's placed on the wall "In a couple of minutes" you answer her question "What do you think will be at the festival?" Scootaloo says asking another question "Probably some festival games and some acts" says Dash picking at her teeth with her hoof "Were you raised in a barn? don't pick at your teeth" you says Dash stops picking her teeth and crosses her arms and looks at you with a glare. You could hear Scootaloo giggling as Dash glare at you. Suddenly some music starts playing in the distances. "The festivals starting!" Scootaloo says excitedly "You girls ready to go?" They both jump of the sofa and say "yep" You and your girls head towards the front door, as you open the door Scootaloo jumps onto Dash's back. You both spread your wings and fly over towards the music. When you land you see I bunch of tents set up with different types of activity's and food stands. As you, your rainbow mained marefriend and your little scootakins walk though the town looking at all the different booths. "This is pretty awesome" says Dash with a smile on her face "It totally is, what do you think Scoots?" you ask but you don't get a reply "Scoots?" you ask again looking around to find that the little filly isn't with you. You stop in place and spin around on the spot looking for the little orange filly. Luckily you spot her standing near a booth of what looks like a shooting game. You run over to her and stop just centimetres away which causes her to jump slightly. "Don't ever do that again" you says with a serious tone which cause her ears to flop to her head "Sorry, I just got detracted" she says Dash land next to you and looks at the booth, you look at the booth as well to see that it is a shooting game, a very bright one at that so you could see why somepony would get distracted. You look at the sign next to it to see that it's 2 bits a turn. You look down at Scootaloo again and the look on her face tell you that see wants to have a turn. You pull out 2 it and place it on the counter. "Go on Scoots, have a go" you say smiling at her Her face lights up with a smile and jumps on one of the stools and grabs the ball gun. As soon as the little target show up Scootaloo start shooting away. She manages to knock most of them down. As the game stops the stallion running the booth pulls down a wonder bolt plushie. "Way to go Scoots" Rainbow cheers Scootaloo takes the pushie and you all walk off to look around the festival when you suddenly come to a stop to see who standing on the stage. You couldn't believe your eyes, Your sister is setting up some of her instruments. When she finishes setting up she turn to the crowed a sees you and starts to wave. You wave back but then a sudden glow of light and you're on the stage "Rose Beat? what are you doing here?!" you ask "I'm performing" she says happily Dash lands next to you with Scootaloo on her back. Scootaloo jumps of her back and catches the attention of Rose Beat "Scooty!" Rose Beat chants happily "Hi Rose Beat" Scootaloo replies "Hey Beat, what brings you here?" Dash asks "I'm performing so music for the night" Rose Beat replies to the same question you ask earlier "And I need a little help for this first song" She continues look at you "Which song is it?" you ask "The first song you ever wrote" She says with a smile. Suddenly see that's playing the music which catches the attention of someponys and you have no other choice but to start singing. Ponys that were playing attention start to stamp there hoof together and you take a bow. --Couple hours later-- After Rose Beat set all her stuff away and head backstage were you, Dash and Scootaloo were waiting... well more of you and Dash, Scootaloo had fallen asleep. "She's so cute when she's sleeping" Rose Beat say looking at the sleepy filly "Yeah she is" Dash agrees "I better get going" Rose Beat says disappointedly "I'll see you soon" you say then start hugging her After exchanging goodbyes she head off to the train station while you and Dash head back home. You were carrying Scootaloo in your arms as you fly, cradling her like a foal. After landing you place Scoots on your back and let Dash open the door. You instantly head towards Scootaloo's room while head heads towards your and her's room. You gently place Scoots in her bed and pull the covers over her . She snuggles up with her wonderblot plushie that she won earlier. That sight make you smile and gentle place a kiss on her forehead. You walk out the room and close the door slowly and quietly.

With a nod you and Dash fly away from the door and fly towards Rarity's shop. Once landing the door opens and Rarity invites both of you in. You see that Twilight, Applejack, Fluttershy, Pinkie and Rarity are already in there dresses "Don't you all look pretty" You say with makes them blush "Now go on a put on your cloths" Rarity says excitedly placing your suit on your back You walk over to the changing room with your cloths on your back. You place them on the table and pull the curtain. After a couple of minutes of changing "Come on Star, we're excited to see your suit" says Rarity You pull the curtain back and walk out. Everyponys eye all widen and smiles appear on their faces. "StarGazer, you look so handsome" Says Rarity "Well thank you very much" you reply to her comment "but where is my hat?" "You're not wearing a hat" Rarity say glaring at you "URRG, fine" you say disappointedly Suddenly you fill some wait on head. You go to feel what it is and it's a top hat. You look over to see you placed the hat on your head and you see Applejack with a smile. "Applejack!" Rarity say angrily "What? if the colt wants to wear a hat let him wear a hat" Applejack says defending you "And besides, I think he looks pretty good in the hat" "Thank you very much" you say thanking Applejack You look around the room to see that Dash isn't present. "Where's Dash?" You ask "She's already in the cart, she wants to keep her dress a surprise for you" Answers Rarity "Anyway, think we should get going" Twilight suggests You all agree and get into a carriage that will be pulled by other stallions. The girls get into the carriage while you and Spike get on the fount. "You mares ready?" you ask though the window that's behind you, they all nod in responds "To the gala" Spike says the stallions who start trotting to the Canterlot. After about an hour or so of talking to Spike and the stallions the cart come to a stop. You and Spike jump of the front of the cart and towards the door. Spike opens the door and one by one the mares step out. Then you saw something that widened your eyes. Rainbow Dash in her lovely rainbow dress and her mane in a style that made your jaw drop. "I thought I would have that effect on you" Dash snickers reconnecting you bottom jaw with your mouth. "You look so beautiful" you say still in shock of her beauty "Oh stop" Dash replies looking away with a blush "Shall we" "Lets" Dash says walking with you to the entrance You catch up with the others and walk to the front only to be stop by a guard. "Tickets please" Twilight pulls out the tickets with her magic and the guard takes them and scans them with his eyes. He rips half of it and gives it one to you and every one else. He then allows you to into the building. You and the others walking in and you look in awh of the castle. Soon everyone walks of in their own direction. You follow Dash into another part of the castle were there was an VIP section. "Why are we here?" you asks "Because I'm going to try and get the wonderbolts attention" Dash answers "Didn't you try that last year?" you question "Yeah, but maybe my luck will change this year and they'll let me be a wonderbolt" she says with confidants "Let's hope" After what seems like hours of not getting the wonderbolts attention you start to get board out of your mind. Who knows what you could of done the whole time. Dash seems to be distracted by the wonderbolts so you decided to sneak off and have own little adventure in the castle. You sneak away from Dash and walk into the main lobby where there was a huge stair case with the princess meeting all the guests. You walk past the staircase to head to another room. "StarGazer" A voice says from the of the stairs You look over to see Twilight and the Princess starring at you. Twilight waves at you as a signal to come over to her. You shrug and walk up the stairs. You reach the top and bow in front of the princess. "Princess, this is StarGazer" Twilight says introducing you "It's nice to meet you" Celestia says to you "Twilight has told me a lot about you" "How so?" "She told me you were dating Rainbow Dash" She begins, you nod in response "That you broke Rainbows heart and left Ponyville without a goodbye" She says a little angrily "But made it up to her by returning to Ponyville" "That's right Princess" you reply "But a little clarification, I may of broke Rainbows heart but It wasn't my fault" "Yes I know" She says smiling "Where is Rainbow anyway?" asks Twilight "She trying to get the wonderbolt attention again" you sat shrugging "I so though I would go off and look around" "Every well, I will let you continue with your journey around the castle" Celestia says with a giggle You bow again and walk back down the stairs. "Oh and StarGazer" the princess says grabbing you attention so you look back at her "That hat looks ridiculous on you" You tilt your hat with a smirk and walk down the stairs to head off to the room you were previously going into. This room was full with ponies who were listening to a classical music group while talking to each other. You thought that this room was going to be boring so you head off to the next room. This room was just ponies dancing with each other to slow music. You crack a smile at the sight of all these couples. If Dash was with you instead of trying to impress the wonderbolts you would of grabbed her hoof and pulled to the dance floor. You shrug it off and go to a door that was slightly open. You open the door and walk in. This room was every odd because it was a long hallway with no one around. You walk along the corridor with no nonleague of where you are. Suddenly some hood steps could be heard from behind you. "You there" A voice says from behind you You turn around fearing that It would be a guard but to your surprise it was the princess of the night, Luna. "What are you doing here?" she asks "I was just wondering around and I ended up here" you explain "This place is off limits, but then again you were never one to follow rules were you StarGazer" She say walking past you with a slight smile on her face "you always seem to sneak into places during the night" "How did you know?" you asks in confusion while following her "I'm the princess of the night I see everything that goes on while the moon is high above the sky" she continues walking into a room "You were always interesting to watch" "That's a little creepy, how long have you been watching me?" "Since you were twelve" she says walking onto a balcony "But weren't you trapped on the moon when I was born" you say standing next to her on the balcony "Yes, but I was still able to see Equstia from there" She says looking at the moon in the sky Some silent's falls as you and the princess of the moon stair at the night sky "I want to thank you" Luna says breaking the silence "for what?" "For taking Scootaloo into your arms and giving her a proper home" she says smiling at you "My pleaser princess" "I heard that Rainbow is looking for you so you should get going" You nod and walk away from the balcony to head off back to the gala. After walking back down the long hallway back to the room were all the ponies are dancing. You shut the door behind you only to have an orange southern mare standing in front of you. "Rainbow Dash is looking for you" she says "So I heard" you say rolling your eyes "Were is she?" "She's flying all over the castle but she told us to meet up at the main hall" Applejack explains "oh Let's go then" You say walking past her and heading towards the door "Err StarGazer" Applejack says from behind you "Yeah" you say turning around Applejack suddenly gets close to you and plants her lips onto yours and then takes them away quickly leaving you in a shock for a few seconds before shacking your head and looking at her in a slightly angry way "What was that?!" You asks "I'm sorry it's just that..." she begins looking away "I have a crush on you" You look at her in shock "For how long?" "Since you worked at the farm" Applejack says looking away in a blush "Is that why you've been acting strange whenever I'm around?" She nods her head in response "I'm flattered I am honestly, but you know we can't be together" "I know that!" she says "But I don't know how to tell Dash about this" You put your hoof under your chin and start to think "I got it. we don't" "What?" "We just don't tell her this ever happened" you explain "You know I can't do that, I'm the elements of honesty" "You managed to keep your crush on me hidden for this long surly how can keep this little kiss under the covers" "I'll try" she says with a little smile You and Applejack walk out of the room and head towards the meet up point that Dash has set You walking into the main hall where you see Dash and the others waiting. When Dash see's you walk in, she fly towards you. "Where have you been?" she asks "Walking around" you answer "Well don't do that again without telling me you had me worried" she says hugging you slightly "I'm sorry" you say nuzzling her "So... would you like to go to the other room and dance?" "You don't have to ask me twice" you say then grabbing her hoof and walking her to the dance room You making it to the middle of the dance floor with your marefriend . You hold her a slowly go back and forth in a dancing motion moving your hoofs to the sound of the music that's playing. You and Dash were surrounded by other dancing pony couples and dance the night away. > Epilogue > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Epilogue After a long night of being surrounded b higher class ponies and being dressed up a fancy suit you and the others are sitting in the Apples house with Scootaloo sleeping on your lap and having your arm around Dash. "What a night" Twilight says with a yawn "Yep, looking forward for next year!" Pinkie says in her loud voice "So am I" Fluttershy adds while she pet Winona "I can second that" Dash says snuggling into your side "I agree" Rarity says with her little sister sleeping next to her "What about you Applejack?" Applejack looks like he was melting because she had a bunch of sweat drops running down her face. But she just nods at Rarity question. "What about you StarStar, did you enjoy the gal-" "I KISSED STARGAZER!" Applejack blurts out but then covers her mouth "You WHAT?!" Dash shout jumping off the sofa and looking at Applejack "I had a crush on him" Applejack says defending herself "SO YOU KISSED HIM?!" "I just had to get it out" You gently take Scootaloo off your lap and grab Dash's arm, but he yanks it away from your grip. You grab her again and place her back onto sofa and place your hoofs onto her shoulders. "It's okay" you say looking at her into her eyes "NO IT'S NOT!" She shouts "Yes it is" you backfire "I get that you're protective of our relationship, but there's no need to be over protective, It was a quick kiss, a one second kiss, I promise you that all it was" "I'm sorry Applejack" Dash says to you "It's okay" Applejack says accepting her apology You pick Scootaloo up gently and place her back down on your lap where a smile appears on her face. "So... how did you enjoy the gala StarStar?" Pinkie asks "It was okay" you say smiling "But it's nothing compared to my normal life" "Really?" Dash asks "Yeah, think about it, I have amazing friends here and back home at Fillydelphia, I'm an official guardian of an awesome little filly" you says stroking Scootaloo's main "But the best thing about it that I'm with the mare of my dreams" you continue looking at Dash whose smiling at you "I love you Rainbow Dash" "I love you too StarGazer" She plants her lip onto yours and all you can hear is the other ponies around you say "Awwwh" THE END
