Excerpt from 'Chapter Eight' of 'Fallout Equestria: Letters to Celestia':
----------------------------------------------------------
I glanced up at the cloud cover. It wasn’t late. It was still an hour before evening from what I could tell, but I was already tired. “I’m gonna turn in. I wanna sleep, and I don’t wanna wake up till tomorrow.”
“Might be a good idea.” Lucky replied, taking any chance to get more sleep. That stallion would crawl into a bed and never get out again if he could.
“I’m gonna check on our gear for the night.” Aero said, pulling on a few pins that disconnected his battle-saddle from his armour. The sound of hydraulics releasing pressure could be heard and his tri-barrel cannons fell to the floor with a thump. He then laid down and began pulling gear from his carrying compartments in his armour, so he could service his weapon.
“Who’s gonna look after the filly?” The mare asked curiously. “Gonna take shifts?”
I nodded to Stranger. “Stranger doesn’t sleep. He’ll keep you company tonight.” I felt a smirk touch the corners of my mouth. “Don’t let him ramble on too much.” I tried not to snigger to myself. “I think you’ll love his personality.”
“What’s that mean?” The mare asked, looking at me questioningly. I chose not to answer. As I padded towards the tents I could hear the mare behind me trying to talk to Stranger.
“So… Stranger huh? Interesting name. How’d you get it?”
Her question was followed by silence. I could practically hear the annoyance in the mares breathing.
“You don’t talk much do ya?” The silence greeted her again like a familiar friend. “Great,” she said bitterly, “you know, your friend’s an asshole, right?”
