Scootaloo's Years

Ch. 19 Concert

(Peachy's POV)

"C'mon Happy! Let's see who's playing!" I said excitedly as I darted ahead of her.

"Definitely!" She matched my pace as we moved down a very wide, very tall hallway.

We walked around the section of hallways for awhile, making zero progress.

"You think they'd have this more easily accessible." Happy pondered.

"Totally." I agreed.

The two of us, after searching for what felt like several minutes, reached a small door that read 'STAFF ONLY'. I stopped dead in my tracks and Happy ran right into me, knocking us both to the ground. I settled into a position where i half sad on my haunches and half on my stomach.

"What do we do now?" I asked, looking from her to the sign posted.

"We have an adventure." She said as she rose up and offered me a hoof.

"I don't know if that's a good idea...what if we're caught?" I said uneasily.

"We're lost,what's the worst that could happen?" Her rhetorical question worried me.

Happy poked the door with her hoof, but it didn't budge. She looked at the lock and smiled.

"Hey Peachy, do you know how to do lock spells?"

"I think so, why?" I looked at her, turning my head to the side.

"This door has a magical lock on it, and I'm no good with this type of magic. Try it!" She backed away from the door, allowing me to fit my horn into the "key-hole".

After a few moments of concentrating my magic to examine each part of the lock, and then moving the individual mechanisms, the door clicked. I backed away and it opened slightly.

"Nice! Where'd you learn that?" Happy said, amazed.

"Well, I had to do a play one time where i was a robber, so I had to learn locksmith basics so that I could deliver my best performance!" I said happily.

"That's really cool," Happy said as she hugged me and then opened the door.

The door opened into a room filled with tons of overhanging wires and very dim light. Happy and I moved in closer to each other as we walked through the room to another doorway. This one was unlocked, s naturally we just walked through it into the next room.

I found a light switch on the wall beside the door, Happy had already wondered off by the time the lights came on. She turned around a corner and I followed.

"Wow..." Happy said as she inhaled in astonishment.

"Yeah." I agreed.

The two of us had stumbled into a room that held equipment for the entire complex. We saw dozens of everything the place needed:

Chairs
Tables
Full Music Racks
Cushions
Paint
Tons of Promotional Equipment

"Check this out!" Happy called as I walked over to her. I looked over and there was a massive robotic dragon in front of her, it was grey and you could see the bolts protruding from its metallic skin.

There was a flash of light and Happy reappeared atop the massive machine.

"Help! Help! For I have been captured by this awful east!" Happy giggled her Maiden in distress voice.

"Don't worry!" i giggled, "I shall save you from this dragon!"

"Be gone foul creature!" I waved an invisible sword at the machine.

Happy smiled openly as I leaped from one stack of supplies to the next. I jumped onto the dragons arm and the pile of chair behind me toppled and fell. The crash was loud as it was nearly a 20 hoof drop.

Happy looked over the side of the dragon with a look of horror, one that was quickly relieved as she saw that i was okay. She watched as I leapt ever closer to her.

"I will destroy you, beast!" I made a final leap towards Happy.

I landed beside her atop the dragon's head. I stomped a few times to ensure that the beast was indeed slain.

"My hero!" Happy shouted.

"M'lady,"I sad as I lightly held her face with my hoof.

I felt a chill go up my spine as she put a hoof to mine as well. I looked into her eyes as our mouths neared each other.

As our lips touched, my eyes went wide with amazement. there was s much passion and feeling behind it.I wanted it to last forever, but after a few, very intense moments Happy broke the kiss.

"Peachy?" Happy said solemnly.

"Yeah?" I looked back at her.

"I know I've only known you a few short days, but..." She broke off.

"Yes?" I asked hopefully.

"I think i love you." Happy blushed.

I smiled, I moved her head to face mine as I spoke,

"I love you too."

I kissed just as she had done to me not a minute before, and I could tell her eyes were wide open with delight. Her smile almost broke the kiss before i did.

"Now, as much as i hate to say it, I think we've been gone way too long. We need to get back to the group." I said halfheartedly.

"Yeah, I know what to do!" she grabbed my hand and teleported the two of us to the ground below the dragon.

"There's no reason that we have to hurry you know." I said smoothly as we passed from the supply room back through the dim room and then finally into the hallway that first entered us into the complex.

We walked slowly back into the lobby, where surprisingly, nobody was waiting. We sat on one of the benches and nuzzled each other. After awhile, Drizzle and Postal emerged from the paintball arena.

"Hey guys!" Happy called.

"Hey ladies!" Drizzle said as he and Postal sat a bench next to us.

"Guys?" Postal questioned.

"What?" I looked over to him, along with Drizzle and Happy.

"The skate park closed 15 minutes ago, where are Red and Scoots?"

"Outside?" Drizzle suggested as he looked out the glass doors and windows. We all shuffled outside.

After looking around for awhile, I spotted Scootaloo and Red, perched on a cloud very high up in the sky. They looked to be doing something;

Kissing.
