It wasn't what you think! Spitfire kissed me and I didn't have enough time to push her away!" I yelled to her. She was flying as fast as she could and I was trying to catch up to her. I caught up to her and tried to grab her. She smacked me away. When she did, I could see her tears in her eyes. I stopped and watched her leave. "No.......please don't go my love......please." I said to myself. I was starting to tear up and I just slowly flew down to a cloud. I thought for a little bit and I flew to my house as fast as I could. Rainbow was inside and she was taking her stuff out of the house. I landed and ran inside. "Rainbow please my dear, I didn't do anything! You have to believe me!" I said to her. She stopped in a hallway. "Why would you do this......to us? I thought what we had was perfect, but apparently you wanted more. I'm sorry I couldn't be that one to.......to make you happy." She weakly said. She was crying and I could see it when she turned around. I couldn't stand to see her crying. She just continued gathering her things. I just stood there, paralyzed by the saddening look on her face. Just as she was about to leave, I stopped her and grabbed her. By this time, I was crying. "I didn't do this. Please don't leave. I didn't cause this pain to you, Spitfire did, please believe me." I said to her slowly. I was crying as I looked into her heart broken eyes. She just slowly took one of my hooves off of her and walked out of the house. I just slowly walked toward a window of my house. I looked out and started to have feelings of anger and sadness at the same time. I was pissed and sad. I ran up and threw my helmet on the floor. "Son of a bitch!" I yelled. I ran out of my house and flew directly to Spitfire's office. I ran and burst open the door. She was sitting in her seat and looked up because of the noise. I ran up and pinned her against the wall. "What the hell is your problem!" I said to her. I was practically yelling. "What do you mean? I was just showing my actual feelings for you Soain, ever since we were fillys, I have felt this way about you." She replied. I let her go, but I was still staring daggers at her. "You knew I was already happy with Rainbow Dash and you fucked it all up!" I yelled at her. She took a couple of steps back. "She didn't love you like I do, come on Soarin, don't you remember all those fun times we had together as fillys?" She told me. It was true that me and her had dated around that time, but I had moved on. She apparently didn't. "That was a long time ago, you knew I was in love with Rainbow Dash, if you really cared about me that much, then you would've left me alone with her because I was happy." I replied. I was still extremely angry with her. She just sadly looked at me. "Soarin, I knew I could make you happier, I felt that I could treat you better. I wanted to be happy with you." She replied in a desperate tone. I just looked at her. I couldn't stand to believe she had done this to me. "If you really want to see me happy, then you will do what is right and tell Rainbow that it wasn't me who caused this, but you." I said to her. When I said this to her, she just looked at me. "We have nothing more to discuss." I said to her. I heard her call my name, but I left. As I came back to my house, there was a letter on the welcome mat of my house. I picked it up and opened it to read it. It was from Celestia saying that Luna and Chrysalis had agreed to negotiations at Appleloosa. Celestia told me to meet her there as fast as I could today. I put on my armor, and told Fleetfoot to come with me just in case we needed backup. We both flew off to Appleloosa. I had wondered what Rainbow Dash thought about me. She now thinks I am an asshole all because of Spitfire's stupid crush. I just shook it off and tried to only think about the negotiating. When we had arrived, there were Royal Guards facing Lunar Guards and the Changeling Army. They were just blankly staring at each other. On one side, was Western Equestria, the other, Easter Equestria. They were all just waiting on their respective sides. There was a small house in between both lines of guards. That was where we were to meet. Fleetfoot and I walked to the house. The guards on our side saluted us and opened the door. Inside, was Celestia, Shining Armor, Luna, and Chrysalis. I walked in and Fleetfoot stayed in the corner of the room just in case. They had a pony on the other corner as well, the tension was intense, you could feel it in the air. "So it seems we are all finally here to end this tragic war, are we not?" Celestia said. Everypony sitting at the table agreed. "I want to speak with my son about the negotiations." Luna said. I looked over at her and she was staring at me. "Proceed." Celestia replied. "Hello mother, I hope we can both agree that this war is not worth endangering so many ponies lives." I said to her. She looked over at Chrysalis, then back at me. "Well I do too, and it isn't worth all of this bloodshed. So let us start, if we end the war now, what will be the outcome?" Luna said. I looked at Shining Armor and Celestia. I took a deep breath and cleared my throat. "I believe you two want some of Equestria under your leadership, but we cannot agree to that. Instead, we must think if another way to have everypony happy about this. For you, mom we will be willing to have you back in the castle and you will have a say in everything Celestia does. The power will be split 50/50 between you both." I said. After I finished talking, Princess Celestia looked at me in shock. Luna was considering this in her mind. "What about me? I need to gain something out of this, or I will continue this war on my own." Queen Chrysalis said. I looked over at her and I started to think of what I could give her. "As for you, you will get a section of Equestria all to yourself and your Changeling empire. It cannot be a very populated city though. I was thinking Vanhoover and the island off the coast." I told her. This was a daring negotiation tactic to use on Chrysalis, I was sweating hoping she would take the land. Luna looked like she had her answer. Chrysalis hadn't objected to what I said yet. "I want more than fifty percent of say in the kingdom." Luna replied. I looked at her in shock. "You know we can't do that mom. We have to keep it 50/50 so nopony feels left out here." I replied to her. She was looking at me with a straight face. "We both agree to the terms our companion here has offered." Celestia said. Shining Armor shook his head as she said this. "You are one good negotiator my son, that is why I am so proud of you." Luna replied with a smile on her face. She extended her hooves and I walked over and hugged her. "It's good to have you back mom." I said to her. She just hugged me tighter. "It's good to be back son." She replied. She was smiling and when we stopped hugging. I looked over at Chrysalis as Luna and I went over to our sides of the table. "I will except on one condition." Chrysalis said. I looked at her suspiciously. "What would that be?" I asked her. "Well it's nothing much, I will take the land you offer me for me and my Changelings......with one exception......we take your life with us too!" She said. Just as she said this, I looked behind me and a Changeling soldier jumped at me with his horn aimed at my chest. I closed my eyes and heard him pierce something, but not me. I opened one eye, and Feetfoot stood in front of me, the horn hit him in his stomach. He fell off the horn and hit the floor. The Royal and Lunar Guards came in and surrounded Chrysalis. "Fleetfoot!" I yelled. I bent down over him and he was bleeding intensively. "Fleetfoot buddy just relax, I'm gunna get you home buddy, don't you worry." I told him. He was shaking. "I....I can't feel an-anything." He replied slowly. I looked at his wound. It was bleeding in copious amounts. I looked at him and put pressure on the wound. I took a can of water from one of the soldiers and used it to clean off the wound. It was still bleeding intensively. "Give me some bandages dammit!" I yelled at one of the guards. He took them out and gave them to me. I took some and wrapped it around my hoof and applied pressure to the wound. He started coughing blood and I didn't think he was getting better. "S-Soarin......I-I don't want to-to die. Please Soarin, I-I don't want to die." He weakly said to me. I looked at him and could see he was shaking a lot. "You won't Fleetfoot, I'm gunna get you all fixed up and you'll be flying before you know it pal." I responded to him. I kept pressure on the wound. It was still bleeding heavily. "I don't want to die. I-I'm n-not ready to d-d-die yet Soarin, p-please. D-don't let me die." He said to me. I looked at him and changed out the bandages around my hoof. As I did this, I used water to clean off the wound again. I was sweating and wasn't paying attention to the other ponies in the room, just Fleetfoot. "Your not going to die buddy, just calm down and try to take deep breaths." I told him. I kept reassuring him that he wasn't going to die, but he was still shaking badly. I kept repeating the procedure of his wound. I would apply pressure with my hoof that had the bandages on it and remove it to only add water. "Don't give out on me you son of a bitch, I will bring you back to Cloudsdale on my back if I have to!" I yelled out. He kept shaking and more blood came out of his mouth. "I-I don't want t-to........d-die." He kept repeating. I looked at him, he was crying by this time. I kept at it as much as I could. "Please S-Soarin please d-don't let m-me........" He stopped after that. I looked at him and took off his flight goggles. His eyes were still open and I heard him give out one last breath. I slowly raise my hoof from the wound. I ripped off the bandages and threw them on the floor. "Son of a bitch! I could've saved him!" I yelled. I got up slowly and closed his eyes with my hoof. I slowly closed my eyes and and let out a deep breath. Luna came over and put her wing over me. I looked at her in disappointment. "Take her to prison this instant." Celestia declared pointing at Chrysalis. The guards took her out of the room. I just took Fleetfoot's goggles and put them on his chest. "I need to go back home. I need to see Rainbow Dash." I said to both princesses. They both just nodded their heads and I flew back to Cloudsdale. I flew as fast as I could, I still had blood on my right hoof. I went to my house first, cleaned my hoof, and went to Rainow Dash's house. I knocked on her door. When she opened it, she was about to close it, but I stopped the door from closing. "Rainbow wait, I just need to say something to you. After that, you can close the door if you want." I Told her. She stopped and waited for what I had to say. "I love you Rainbow, and I need you here. I will go crazy without you. You are the love of my life forever and I need to be with you because you make me feel like I have never felt before. You are such an amazing mare, and I don't know any other pony I love more than you. You make me feel like I could do just about anything. I need you Rainbow Dash, and I finally worked up the courage to tell you how I actually feel about you Rainbow and how much you make me the stallion I am today. So what do to say? Can we have dinner at my house tonight?" I said to her. I can't believe I was doing this now out of all times. I mean, my loyal best friend just died and I was doing this? But I felt that if I didn't do this now, I would never be able to get another chance at this. She just looked at me weirdly for a while. "Soarin, you have a way with words that I can't believe. But that is one reason why I need you so much too! We were both made for each other my knight in shining armor." She replied. As she said this, she opened her door and hugged me. I just held on to her and wanted nothing else, but her. "I love you so much. Let us never part." I said to her. She just held on to me. I looked down at her and she looked back up to me. We both got closer and I felt her lips connect with mine. I was filled with joy and a rush of adrenaline hit me when she kissed me. "Spitfire came over and told me what had happened. I know it wasn't your fault. I also have some news for you." She said to me. I couldn't believe Spitfire actually did that. "What was it you were going to tell me my sweetheart?" I asked her. We both took a couple of steps back and she took a deep breath and looked at me with a smile. "Well Soarin, I am pregnant." She told me. My eyes grew wide open. I was just overcome by this sense of joy when I heard this. I picked her up and flew up into the air, we were both laughing. "I'm gunna be a father? I can't believe this!" I replied. She just laughed as I carried her in the air. We both kissed and I we both kept laughing. I have to admit, this was the happiest I had ever been, and I was glad I could share that happiness with Rainbow Dash.
