He flew over to the window and started using his manticore claw to cut the window. Just then the guards caught up with him knocking him through the window, shattering glass everywhere. Twilight was packing her things for her move to Ponyville when Red lightning came in. "I know you." She said. "You were arrested by the Wonderbolts for visiting Olives memorial." Red looked at the ground. "A reminder of my failure." He said. "I'm sorry I couldn't bring him back safely for you." Suddenly, they heard a crash in the other room. "That sounds like its in Olives room!"Twilight panicked. "Someponys going to mess it up!" Twilight ran down the hall. The guards struck hard but the stranger was tougher. Nopony even noticed Twilight slam into the room, mouth agape in horror, until Red yelled for the guards to stand down. With precision the guards recovered to a perfect position of attention."Sir, this outlaw was breaking in, we assumed it was to inflict harm on the princess or her student." Red simply dismissed them and ran to the strangers aid."are you alright?" He asked. "Yeah im fine." Said the stranger as his desert scarf slipped down and off of his face. Red could hardly hide the shock on his face when Olive tried to stand, hindered by the manticore claw lodged in his rear left leg. Twilight still couldn't see what was happening because Red blocked her view. "Who is that?" Twilight questioned. Olive finally worked up the strength to stand up. Twilight rushed towards Olive and they met in a warm embrace. Olives leg would need medical attention, Twilight still had to pack, and Red was still on his undercover assignment to track a con artist; but for now everything was okay. "Why didn't you come back sooner?" Twilight finally asked. "I still had to clear my name and recover from all my wounds." Olive replied. After that the conversation was over, for the world had melted in a warm kiss.
