//------------------------------// // Chapter 19: Just a Little More Love // Story: Fallout Equestria: Moon`s Malestrom // by EuphorianPony3 //------------------------------// I approached the house, with my heart pounding at the thump of a second heartbeat. I took a deep breath “C`mon Full Moon you can do this!” I knocked on the door and several seconds later Vinyl opened the door, She gasped with amazement and then ran into my arms without regret,truth, or mercy, “Full Moon!” she grasped tightly around my stomach “I`ve missed you so much” I than took her into the house and we began to dance, side by side, hoof to hoof we shared each other`s comfort and love as we shared each other`s fantasy`s and dreams. Several minutes after my eternal sonata with Vinyl, Record Moon came through the door, just like her mother she ran up to me and fell into a massive hug with me, we shared the tears and the sympathies we then looked into each other`s eyes, I got onto my knees and then grabbed her hoof and placed it on mine I than said to her “Daddy`s home sweetheart… i`m home!” Record then went to a sad expression “But not for long is it?” Vinyl came up to me “Full Moon is this true?” I than got back up on my four hooves “Yes… i`ts true, i`ve been sent on a mission to find the Ministry Mare`s for Celestia, i`m deeply sorry. But my friend dragged me into coming here, otherwise I would have come back when I did not have to leave… I decided to come back to let you know i`m okay” Vinyl then said “Well… it`s nice to know you`re okay, i`m glad for that. And that`s all that I can think of to say… The Wasteland`s a dangerous place, but if i`ts important… than do it,” I than grabbed Vinyl`s chin “You… actually understand? Thank you ever so much… I will be back, I promise.” We than shared a deep warm kiss and Record Moon walked up for a group hug. I than walked out to go talk to another. Applebloom… which seems like the most painful, this is going to wreck my mind… “Thanks a lot Calamity…” I whispered while trying to find Applebloom. After looking around the whole town, maybe two times or so there was no sign of Applebloom it was approaching nighttime, I than decided to walk to the Hilltop Moonlight… which had the most beautiful overlooking place, with the stars blinking, laid on the steep rock staring into the moonlight… it was the most amazing sight in all of Equestria. While I was laid on the steep rock I than heard a tree bush thistle like something was about to fall out I turned my head to the tree, several seconds after a pale yellow filly with a graceful pink bow fell out of the tree. “Applebloom? What were you doing up there, I was looking all over for you!” Applebloom than ran towards me and laid next to me she than said in a quiet tone “Looking for you Dad, i`ve missed you so much, I was,” She than began to let out a small burst of tears “Ah was starting to think (sniff) that you wasn`t gonna come back…” I than wrapped my tail around her “It`s ok… i`m here now am i not? that’s what matters” Applebloom than moved her head and laid it on my stomach “Ah guess that`s true, I love you, Dad” Applebloom than started to rub her head on my neck I spoke to her “Applebloom, I have great news” Applebloom than stared at me “What`s that Dad?” I than spoke “Your big sis Applejack said I can be your father… she wants me to protect you from any harm and I swear to Celestia i`m not gonna break that promise,” I than gave her a little kiss on the head Applebloom then smiled at me “Really?” I than nodded my head and stroked her mane “Yes, i`m your father now, even if it kills me i`ll look after you” Applebloom then said “That`s the greatest news i`ve ever heard in my life!” she than began to rub her head on my neck once more “I`m the most luckiest filly ever to have you as a Dad!” I than smiled at her “I guess i`m the luckiest dad to have the most cutest filly in all of Equestria as my daughter,” Applebloom then laid her head on my stomach and said “Goodnight dad…” she yawned and then closed her eyes, I then smiled again and looked up at the stars to see a constellation of a heart which the words prescribed “Father and Daughter” I then lowered my head on the rock I moved my head next to Applebloom`s and I finally closed my eyes for once into a deep sleep. Applejack was at the farthest end of the hill and she lowered her hat “I knew I could trust him… thank you Full Moon, for everything” she than started to walk down into the barn and go to sleep. “It pains me to think of me leaving her” I whispered which only I could hear.
