//------------------------------// // Reunioin // Story: Road to love // by Mes Amis //------------------------------// Dante continued to walk towards home after he left Rainbow Dash. Dante couldn’t believe that Fluttershy, the one he loved so much when they were kids, doesn't know who he really is. Even though she made a promise to never forget him. This was one of things he was worrying about; he couldn’t keep his mind off it. He tried to avoid it by not thinking about it.  Dante stop walking to see that he was in front of a Café. He walked inside of the Café and ordered a drink. Dante took his drink and sat at a nearby table. "Hope this will help me forget everything that just happened with me and Fluttershy." Dante thought to himself sadly. He took a sip of his drink and let out a small sigh. “Dante!” A voiced called out of the distant. Dante put down his drink to see where the voice came from. He looked both ways, but saw nothing. He made sure that he wasn’t hearing thing so he ignored it. Dante picked up his drink until the voice was heard a bit closer to him. He checked again, still nopony was there. “Dante!!” The voice shouted right behind him causing him to fall right out of his chair and the drink to splattered all over him leaving the unknown pony who called him, to laugh so hard that almost everypony in the town could hear him. The unknown pony decided to help Dante up from where he fell off from his chair. He lended a hoof in order to help him. “Are you alright dude?” The unknown pony said sounding like he was going to laugh at what he did to Dante again. When the Unknown pony lent a hoof at him, Dante saw what to see was a grey unicorn with red eyes. His mane was a brown color same as his tail and cutie mark which appears to be a black and white guitar. Dante got back up, wiping off drink that was on him. Leaving the grey unicorn to stand there, trying hold out his laugh. “So, again…you alright?” the grey unicorn asked. Dante finished cleaning the mess that was on him and clear his throat for what he was about to say. “Alright? Alright?! You almost killed me right at that moment!!” Dante yelled at him. The grey unicorn backed up a little when Dante yelled at him and try to avoid fighting with him. “Whoa Whoa, calm down there bro.” The grey unicorn tried to calm him down. “You shouldn’t sneak up on other ponies like that” Dante protested “Anyways who are you? And why did you call my name out anyways?” Dante was unsure who this pony is that called out his name out and the one who scared him half to death. “Don’t you remember!? It’s me Reda!” the grey unicorn shouted. “You don’t have to yell you know." Dante raising an eyebrow. “Reda,’member me?" he said in a mocking tone. Dante was still unsure who this pony is so he slowly walked away from him and tried to avoid him as much as possible. Reda caught up to Dante trying to convince him to remember. “How do you not remember your own best friend?” Reda questioned making Dante to stop in his tracks. "Best friend?"  Dante thought to himself when that question made him stop. “Do you even remember me at all?” Reda said a little worried that his own best friend forgot about him. Reda levitated something out of his saddle bag and looked at it for a few seconds. He wanted to show it to Dante to prove they were best friends. He levitated the item towards Dante to let him see it “Maybe this will help you remember." Reda said as he gave the item to Dante. Dante looked at the item which appeared to be a guitar pick with red and black stripes on it with a lightning bolt in the middle of it. He turned the guitar pick around which had a text saying “Don't forget me -Dante." He remembered giving this to Reda when he was at a party with him, a day before he left Reda and everypony he knew. It was a gift for Reda to make him remember his best friend, Dante. He also remembered Reda using it at a gig he and Dante played at before he was leaving on his tour. “Reda?” Dante lowered the guitar pick and threw it back to him. “How can I forget the colt that gave me this, of course it’s me!” Reda shouted. “How come you didn’t say something?” “I did." Reda said a little annoyed. "Should of listen better." Dante thought “Well who cares Dante, at least you’re back." Reda said. Dante and Reda both exchanged a massive hug until ponies passing by started taking pictures, since Dante became famous after all those tours he was on. Dante was the first to notice the ponies taking the pictures of them. “Umm Reda….we can let go now." Dante said awkwardly while he was looking at ponies that were shooting pictures of them. “Why?” Reda asked, who didn’t seem to notice the ponies. “Just see for yourself." Dante replied. Reda took a look around and knew what Dante was talking about. They both immediately let go of each other and walked away to a different direction of town to avoid them. The two of the both exchange conversations how everything change since Dante was gone on his tour and how much Dante’s family missed him and how time passed by in his absence. “Hey man, everything has change since you left family, businesses, music and everything” “Wait, music already changed?" Dante was both interested and shocked at the same time. “Yeah, haven’t you heard? During your tour, two musician ponies, Octavia and Vin-“ “Never heard of them” Dante who interrupted Reda’s story. “Let me finish.” Reda hissed at the interruption. “Well yeah, both of them combined their own music which pretty much ended up an all new music genre and everypony in this town started getting crazy about the music genre. It’s like a mix of dupstep and classical combined." “Sounds like we got ourselves a little a competition, don’t you think?” Dante joked. “It sort of does." Reda chuckled. Hours began to past while Reda and Dante both exchanged stories with each other. Night began to take its role to float up in the night sky. The sun that Celestia brought to everypony, began to fall and wait for a new day to start. Reda and Dante were at front of Dante’s home. They both walked up to Dante’s front door. Before he opened the door, Reda grabbed Dante’s hoof. “What are doing?” Dante said in annoyance. “Whatever you do, don’t open that door." Reda said, his face full of worry. “Why?” “Because….” Dante began to open the door and when he opened the door, the lights flickered on and his family, friends, and ponies he didn't know, but seem to care yelled surprise in unison. Party decorations filled the house and a banner hung on the wall saying "Welcome Back!" “Alright Reda, how many ponies did you invite?” Dante asked in anger. “I don’t remember inviting any of them." "Of course." He said to himself. He knew it was somepony he could never forget about.
