Nightwing looked up and down the one street at the town of Dodge City. Ponies walking down minding their business. He sighed as he went to the a small restaurant at the end of the street getting the feeling he won't be able to go back in there. He looked at the sign just before he went inside."dame good eggs". he walked inside. It was bursting with energy, ponies here and there. The smell of egg made his mouth begin to water but, when the scent of muffins hit his mouth went dry. the memory of Ditzy was painful but, his eyes didn't shed a tear. he walked to the counter and ringed the bell. A pink pony with a green mane in a waitress outfit came the counter.
"Yes, what would you like?" using her magic to take out a notepad and pencil.
"I would like two fried eggs and a glass of milk, please." he said as she was writing it down.
"Alright, Darling just sit anywhere and I will bring you your food." she smiled and winked at him.
Nightwing looked around and saw a empty table in the corner. He walked to it and sat down. Just as he sat down a hooded figure walked to his table.
"May i sit?" the hooded figure said as waitress came along with the food.
"Excuse me darling." as the food hit the table. "Just pay at the counter, Handsome." she smiled as she left.
The hooded pony looked back at the waitress then, back Nightwing.
"It looks like she has a crush on you. and again may i sit?" the ponies voice starting to a little impatient.
Nightwing nodded as he began to eat his eggs.
"This restaurant's name is well deserved but, I will only talk to if you take off that hood, Pipsqueak." he took a sip of his milk and let out a refreshing awww. "So, what brings you here to my little piece of heaven." as a gun shot could be hear along with a scream.
"Straight to the point like always, Nightwing." he chuckled a little. "But, you have been gone for four months and we need you back." as the waitress brought a glass of orange juice. "Thank you" as he put three bits into her magic aurora.
"I have been getting messages on my helmet for the last month asking to tell where I am but, here you are sipping orange juice when fruit is scarce. Where in the hell do they get oranges?" as he looked outside with a raised eye brow.
"Can you stop stalling, we need you back. I'm begging you. We need your help the Solar empire has been gain ground and has freed Cloudsdale and starting to advance on Applelusa! we have just lost Baltmare! IT WAS A MASSACRE! we had no idea they were coming they destroyed our radar! Please come back!" he was on the verge of tears.
"No, I have lost enough of my family to this war, until you lose your wife, best friends and that your daughter is in the solar empire you can't talk." as he finished the milk slamming the glass on the table. "I'm sorry friend but, I can't I just can't." he slummed back onto the sit.
"You know in all of the years I have never know you as a coward. enjoy your eggs." as he stormed off and left the building.
"Hit it." as he climbed into a warthog.
Nightwing sighed as he got up and walked to the counter. He took out a hoof full of bits.
"Keep the change." as he was about to leave the restaurant the waitress grabbed on his front leg.
"you forgot your receipt." she had him the thin piece of paper. Letting go of his leg. "Call me sometime, handsome." she winked.
He looked at the paper and saw the phone number with a heart. he chuckled as he placed the paper in his little vest pocket. He walked to Hunter's cycle. He closed his eyes as he remembered the day Hunter died. he sighed as he got on the bike. He placed his helmet on his head. He revved the engine. He let go of the break and began to go down the desalinate trail of dust and sand. Riding to where ever it took him.
