" For help. If you ever need someon- er, somepony to talk to...I'm just in here, okay?" I tell her, hoping she would tell me what's wrong. I know when somethings wrong. I turned to my room, which was... big. Small to most, but when you sleep in a cot for months at a time with many soldiers, this was nice.
The room consisted of a queen size bed, a table with a lamp, a bathroom, which, speaking of bathroom, I need a Shower. Sidetracked there, a pillow, and a blanket.I Like this room, alot. " Well, I'll take a shower and go to bed." " Okay, to turn on the shower just touch the cloud." " Got it. Thanks."
* 9 P.M.*
"Mmm" I Yawn as I climb into bed, pulling the blanket over me. I've never had this sort of hospitality before. Gunshot. Yelling.
I need to get those Screams and Gunshots checked out. I could be going Insane slightly. I Smiled as I went to sleep in the bed made of Clouds. Sleeping on clouds, Not even something I could dream of doing.
* 6 A.M.*
I Woke up to the smell of pancakes. I Haven't have pancakes in a while. I Moaned as I got out of bed, not wanting to leave it.
Though, I hadn't eaten yesterday. I Lifted my shirt to see bandages. ' Well, at least it's not an open wound anymore.' Still hurts.
I walked to the smell of the food, smelling coffee. 'Sweet sweet coffee, keeps me alive.' I think to myself. " Oh hey, Your up."
"Yeah. That bed's the most comfortable thing I've slept on in weeks." Rocks, grass, in a tree, cots, to name a few... less comfy things I'd been sleeping on." Really?" "Yep. Anyway, I smelled pancakes." Gunshot.
"Right there." She said, pointing to a plate of pancakes. I walked over and ate the pancakes. After eating them and drinking the coffee, I felt another flashback coming on. " Oh no." I Said, Dash turning head, " What?" " Flashback coming." It was already starting. " Will you be okay?" "Yeah, just... gimme a minute." I Was already in the flashback.
*Iraq*
June 10 2014.
War Hospital.
"Hey. I'm here to see Kyle Johnson." Yep. Two months later, I was visiting Kyle. " Right this way Captain." As we walked to his room, I Saw dying Soldiers, some with limbs missing, just, blood everywhere. "Mr. Johnson? You have a visiter." I Walk in, Kyle with a somewhat shocked face on. " Hey." " Y-your alive!" " Damn right. I had a promise to keep. Killed with the ol' M4"
"A little low tech don't you think?" Psh. "Hell no! Things better than any gun! Well, except the M8 maybe." "Speaking of..." He said, handing me, what else, an M8 Rifle. " Holy shit, How'd ya know?!" " You learn when you eavesdrop." Damn. Beat me there. " Sneaky bastard." I chuckled out. " Anyway, need anything?"
"Hmm..." He thought for a minute " How 'bout some real food?" 'Real' food. Peh. " I got some MREs to spare" "Sweet." He says as I hand him the MREs " Anything else?" "Proof" Proof? Right, I took a picture. " Got that." I tell him, handing him the picture of the dead soldier. " That'll do." "Well, they need me back at base." " See ya bud" 'Bud', I had a friend. "See ya." I Say, leaving.
*Present day, 2 Minutes after flashback*
I Groan. " You okay?" "Yeah. I need to get that checked out." Gunshot, Explosion. " First, I need to get out and about." "How about we go back to Twilight's?" Fiiiiine. "Sure"
*10 Minutes later*
We knock on the door of the library. " Who is it?" " It's Dash and Jack!" "Coming!" As she opens the door, I Can tell she just found something amazing. " Hey... Uh, can I try a spell on you?" Oh shit..." What kind?" "It'll give you wings" 'Wings' my eyebrow shot right up. " Really?" Can't be... "Yeah! It lasts a long time too!" "With that, I had another smile on my face.
"Twilight, are you Sure this is safe?" "Yeah! C'mon, let's test it." Dash looked at me. "Why not?"
Rainbow just stared, and stared. "Are you Insane!?" "Yep!" I said, walking into the library.
*20 Minutes later*
" There, try them." Twilight said, looking at my new wings. They are Black wings, to match my hair, With white feather tips.
I Tryed to move them, and I did. Even taking off with a "WHOA!" We all started laughing. " Hey, I just realized something."
"Whats that?" "I...Uh...never really had a childhood. Like I said, I grew up on the street. Nobody ever cared about me."
I Sniffed and landed on a hillside " Really? Harsh." "Yeah. I've missed the best years of my life. My mother died delivering me. My dad left not two years later."At this point I was... Crying almost." Wow...that's...tough." "Yeah. Th-that's why I just went into the service. Hey twilight?" "Yeah?" "How long does this spell last?" She had to think a moment.
" Until... today's Friday... so, Until Sunday. Why?" " I...I gotta think about my life some... Don't come looking for me until Monday if I'm not back." With that, I took off flying to the mountains.
