//------------------------------// // The Dance and Second Battle // Story: A Freezing Hero With a Warm Heart // by Big Imagination E //------------------------------// After the whole fiasco with Sombra Luke decided to take a walk in Ponyville. Now they were still giving him looks but started to open up to him and he was no longer scared. But deep down he knows that he still has to take out 4 guardians and free Fleur in the dream realm. Then he was snapped out of his thoughts as he saw Fleur coming to him. "Hey darling. Can I ask you something?" Fleur asked. "Yes. What is it?" Luke said. "Well as you know the Grand Galloping Gala is in 2 days and I was wondering if you want to join me as my date." Fleur offered. Luke was stunned. No one has ever offered him to join any dances. But it would be rude if he didn't accept it so he made his choice. "I would be honored Fleur. So should I dress nice for the occasion?" Luke asked. "Yes darling. But im so happy that you are joining me at the Gala. Have you ever been to any dances back on Earth?" Fleur wondered. "Not really. I was too shy back in my high school days. But during my senior year is when I asked Violet to the dance and that was the only time I went to a dance." Luke explained. "You never went to anymore after that?" Fleur asked. "No. Not after she died. And im still upset on the inside." Luke said. "Oh darling." Fleur said as she hugged him. "Well don't worry. The Gala will help you feel happy again. And if you want I can share a dance with you." "That would be nice. I'll see you at the Gala." Luke replied. "See you there darling." Fleur said as she walked off so she can get ready. 2 days went by and the night of the Gala has arrived. Luke was in a white tux and icy blue dress shirt and waiting for Fleur at the entrance of Canterlot Castle. But something wasn't right. He waited for Fleur for an hour and she still didn't arrive. Luke began to worry about her and needed to find out where she was. "Ok. Fleur wanted me to be her date and I know she never go against her word. I need to find her." Luke said determined. He secretly wore his exoskeleton suit underneath his tux and actived his jetpack to find Fleur. He flew around Canterlot to see where she was and after a 30 minutes he couldn't find her. "Where can she be? I know she's around here somewhere." Luke asked himself. Then suddenly he heard some screaming coming from the balcony of the castle. "What was that?!" Luke worried. He flew up to get a better look and to his surprise he saw a unicorn with dirty blonde hair trying to force Fleur to dance with him and strip her clothes. "You sicko! Leave me alone!!" Fleur shouted. "Not until I get a dance and some body action! Come on just one!" The unicorn begged. "No Blueblood! Now leave me alone!!" Fleur demanded. But that only angered Blueblood as he grabbed her arm and threw her in the snow. Seeing all that made Luke really mad. He flew down and when Blueblood was about to touch her breast Luke punched him in face and sending him into a tree. He groaned after he got hit and stood up seeing Luke. "What the hell?! You dare attack royalty?!" Blueblood shouted. "Royalty my ass! You are nothing but a paedophile! So leave Fleur alone or i'll freeze your balls off!!" Luke said angry. "Oh so you think you can have this lovely trophy to yourself? Too bad! She's mine!!" Blueblood shouted. "She is not some trophy!! And I sure as hell don't treat her like one! So you better get out or im gonna put you on ice bitch!!" Luke demanded. "Oh I would love to see you try freak!" Blueblood challenged. Luke took off his tux and relieved his exoskeleton suit. He actived his freeze gun and tried freezing Blueblood. But everytime he blasted him Blueblood dodged. "Hah! You really should try aiming better." Blueblood mocked. "Why you little!!" Luke said gritting his teeth. He slammed his fist in the ground and a giant ice wave came to him. It covered him in snow and he was freezing. At the same time the Mane Six showed up. "What is going on here?!" Twilight asked. "Uh Twi? I think Luke is fighting Blueblood. Is that the answer?" Applejack answered. "Yes. Ugh. Why does Blueblood have to ruin the Gala every year?!" Twilight said irritated. "Twilight calm down. Luke's gonna stop him and maybe we don't have to worry about him anymore." Rarity assured. Back with Luke he was still fighting Blueblood. Then he remembered the icy sword he carried. He unleashed it and placed the blade in the snow and icicles came out heading towards him. One poked him in the ass and he yelled in pain as he jumped out of all his clothes and in the air. Blueblood came back down all naked and was even more cold now. "Oh my Celestia!! IM NAKED!! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?!?!?!" Blueblood shouted in pure anger. "Oh getting hot headed I see? Maybe you should 'chill out' a bit!" Luke said. He then actived his freeze gun and this time he froze him in solid ice. Blueblood wasn't moving and was stuck in the ice. "Doesn't feel so hot now does it Frosty?" Luke joked. He then went to Fleur and gave her his hand to help her up. "Are you okay?" "You...you saved me." Fleur said. "Of course. I wasn't going let that shitbag have his way with you." Luke told her. "Oh Luke. Thank you for saving me." Fleur cried softly as she hugged him. All the other ponies that witnessed this now realized that Luke wasn't evil. After all he just saved Fleur a few seconds ago. "Hey Luke?" A pony named Lyra asked. "Yes?" Luke answered. "We want to say that were sorry for thinking that you were evil. It's just that we never seen a human with ice powers. But after seeing you defeat Blueblood to save Fleur....that made us realize that you are okay in our books." Lyra said as everyone agreed. Luke then smiled. "Thank you. That's all I wanted to do. Make friends and protect others." The Mane Six smiled seeing the ponies giving Luke the respect he wanted. Then a spotlight shined on him and Fleur. "Well darling. I did say that I wanted to share a dance. Shall we?" Fleur asked. "Yes. Lets." Luke answered. Then they heard a special song playing and they turned seeing Rarity playing that song. "Dance with her darling." Rarity encouraged. "Well I did say that I will dance with you. Let's waltz." Luke said as the two started dancing with everyone enjoying the show. Then like a fairytale ending both Luke and Fleur were doing their waltz in the night before she lays her head on Luke's neck. Everyone smiled happily seeing these two put on a show like in a ballet performance. After the song was over they posed and to Luke's surprise she kissed him. Everyone cheered for that show and continued to enjoy the Gala. After a long and fun night at the Gala we see Luke back in the bedroom sleeping away. We cut back in the dream realm and Luke saw the Blueblood statues crumble and turn into Luke statues and the barrier disappeared. "So Blueblood was the 2nd guardian. Only three left." Luke stated. "Yes. And I see that everyone respects you now. That's good. But then I noticed that Fleur kissed you. Think it's a sign that your close to confess your feelings about her?" Luna asked. "I guess. But I don't wanna risk getting heartbroken again." Luke answered. "I understand. But know this. Sooner or later you have to confess to Fleur." Luna reminded him. "That's true. I get what your saying Luna." Luke replied. "Good. Now take some time to relax and keep your eyes open for anymore guardians in the real world. Fare thee met, and fare thee well." Luna said as she disappeared. "Thank you Luna." Luke said as he relaxed in the dream realm and awaited the new day.
