Chapter 1: Part 1
March 1st. I moved into Ponyville that day. I was happy about the change in my life. I love change sometimes. The sun was bright in Ponyville, brighter here than where I came from. Everything about Ponyville screamed happiness & peace. The colors, the buildings, the ponies, and the sky. All kinds of ponies were galloping around from store to store. Earth ponies, Pegasus ponies, & Unicorns.
I made my way to my new station and home. My living space was on top of the fire department, like they usually are. I passed a few ponies & said hello. One of them offered to help me but I could not accept, simply because of my pride. Anyway, I made it to the newly built structure. It wasn't as tall as I expected. Maybe. . . Two & a half stories tall. The first floor had a garage on the left for my soon-to-arrive fire truck. The second floor had what I suspected to be my bedroom window just above the door, & at the top, a standard yellow bell, gleaming in the sun & right into my eyes. The building itself was built from red bricks & lined with white.
From my backpack I took my key and inserted it into the lock & turned it. I opened the door and walked inside, my hooves clip-clopping against the hard floor. I turned on the light and examined the empty room. I guessed it was my office and that I was going to have to pay for my own furnishing. I headed up a spiral stair case that lead me to my bedroom. It was small & empty with a gray rugged floor & plain white walls. I contemplated about how I would set up Bullet For My Valentine posters.
I made my way back downstairs in order to plan out what my office would look like when I was done furnishing. I then wondered, who would my dispatcher be? It didn't really matter to me at the moment.
“Hey!” yelled a light blue pony with rainbow mane. I shuddered in surprise & flinched. She popped out of nowhere! “I'm Rainbow Dash. I see you're new here to Ponyville.”
I noticed a light gray pony with blonde mane next to her, but I turned my attention back to Rainbow Dash. “Yeah, I'm new. I just moved here from Manehatten. I'm Blaze Fury.” I inquired.
Rainbow Dash nodded. “Nice to meet ya. This here is Derpy.”
Derpy nodded & bumped into Rainbow Dash, which I thought annoyed her a bit. ”Hi.” Derpy said.
My eyebrow raised and I guessed that she was the klutz in town. “I'm the new fire fighter in town. Hey, would you know anyone who could be my dispatcher?”
Derpy was completely oblivious to what we were talking about. Rainbow Dash thought for a moment. “Nope, don't know anyone. It sounds like a boring job anyway.”
I kinda agreed, I'd hate to sit there all day & take calls. “Well it still needs to be done.” I assured her.
“I hear ya. Well, me & Derpy gotta go. Talk to you later” Rainbow Dash turned & pushed Derpy along. I waved my hoof at them as they went.
Chapter 1: Part 2.
March 2nd. I started my search for office furnishing that day. I was walking through Ponyville, eye balling each store until I found the one I needed. I noticed two fillies talking amongst each other. One with pink & purple mane; the other white & light blue mane. I was tempted to talk to them but I was already on a mission to find the furniture store.
Finally I found what I had been looking for. I walked into the furniture store and looked around for the office section when suddenly; something, or somepony, caught my eye. It was Derpy. I decided to find out what she was doing here, certainly the Pegasus pony didn't need furniture since they live in clouds.
She noticed me, But not in a way that seemed to be surprised, more like. . . expecting. I'm guessing I made her nervous when I approached her because she knocked over a display when I got close. I picked it up for her & I apologized to the manager myself. We talked a few minutes, had a few more display mishaps, and reached the conclusion of our conversation.
I bought some furniture for the office and my room that would be delivered to the station in an hour when they would have everything on their truck. I was actually excited to be honest. I speed galloped all the way home, anxiously waiting to plan out how to set up my new home.
I arrived back and turned on the light. There was a note in the middle of the room. How odd I thought. It was a note from Derpy. Big party planned for you by Pinkie Pie tomorrow - Derpy Hooves. it said. I didn't know who Pinkie Pie was but o well.
The furniture arrived and I put them all into place. I was happy. I had a new job, a new home, & a new life.
Chapter 1: Part 3
March 4th. I had one more day of freedom to do whatever I wanted, since the station opened tomorrow. I didn't really want to go to the party, but I did anyway because I didn't want to be rude. At the party I met Rarity, Apple Jack, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Spike, & Twilight. I Talked to Rainbow Dash & Derpy again at the party too. It was fun for the most part, but I was bushed by the time it was over. Derpy offered to walk me home, I didn't need the help but I wanted to be nice.
Derpy & I walked all the way to the station. We didn't say much, most of the time she bumped into me on accident & apologized. When we got there, she said goodbye & offered me a hug, I took it, to be nice.
Finally it was bed time, I had a big day tomorrow and so did the station. I lay comfortably in my new bed and took in the scent of new fabric. I slipped into deep sleep, the best sleep of my life, or; it should have been.
The alarm sounded & I shot up from my bed and eyed the gleaming red light that so rudely interrupted my sleep. How did the alarm go off?? I haven't even turned it on, I was gonna do that tomorrow. I got up out of bed and put on my rig. A helmet, an oxygen tank, & a sledgehammer come in very helpful in situations. I decided to investigate the alarm when I got back.
I had been informed of the fire in town and I, having no truck yet, had to walk all the way there, lugging with me a hose. When I arrived I put my helmet on & checked my equipment. “Everypony clear the area!” an officer yelled at the bystanders as I approached the building. I asked him if there were any fire hydrants near by but there wasn't, which to me, sounded like an idiotic mistake from whoever built this street.
I bit my lip and examined the area. I noticed that there wasn't anything near by that would catch fire if the building had burned down. I decided that It would be best if the building would just be left alone. This wasn't a bad idea in my opinion, but the ponies inside the gosh darn building wouldn't have agreed. I was pretty sure there were ponies in the building, the screams of agony & terror really helped me reach that conclusion.
I braved the fire and smoke and ran into the burning building, I made my way to the second floor where I suspected the victims to be. I was right. The heat was intense and rising. The building made cracking noises & creaking noises as the fire engulfed the walls. I made careful steps in fear that the floor would fall out.
BOOM! A loud explosion came from behind me and blew a giant hole in the floor. I urgently stepped forward, trying to stay away from the edge of the damn thing. The whole building was going to collapse right on my head if I didn't move fast. I moved toward a door that look liked it lead to a bedroom. I stepped inside just as a beam fell from the rafters & blocked the way out. GOD DAMNIT.
The whole room was full of black smoke. It was hard to see anything. If it weren't for my goggles and oxygen tank, I might as well been dead on the floor. I called out to whoever may be inside. No response. I leaned down to the floor where I could see better. I noticed blood. Odd. I followed the blood trail and it stopped. In front of a wall. No doors, No windows, Just a wall. I examined it carefully when I heard a giggle. I whipped my head around thinking I would see them, but there was too much smoke.
“Hello!?” I called out. No response. I turned back to the wall & felt a cold shiver go down my spine when something had stroked it. Cold sweat flashed through me when I felt this. I turned around again. Nothing. I was getting tired of it. I took my sledgehammer off my back & had two choices. Create a hole in the wall where I came in & possibly weaken the house even more, or smash a hole into the wall where it would lead outside, hopefully make an escape. I picked my second option. I walked up to the wall I thought would lead outside. I brought the sledgehammer up & swung it down against the wall.
The wall crumbled into the floor in front of me. I knew I was on the second floor so I carefully stepped into the newly created hole. It didn't go anywhere but into a new room. The smoke from the other room filled this one. I noticed that the walls were made of metal. Which was weird and eerie.
“Hehehe.” There was that giggle again. I was frustrated.
“This isn't a game! I'm trying to save your life!” I yelled and threw my hammer to the floor. BAM-clink clink clink. At this point I was scared. I felt something brush my arm and in response I swung it, but I hit nothing. Then suddenly; something had taken my helmet, it was gone, just gone. I stomped my hooves on the floor and tried to scare off whatever force may be inside the building. I was utterly scared. I noticed something else to, my hammer was missing, which sent me over the top. “Okay, Whoever is in here, just give me back my stuff and I can get us out of here. We need to get out of here. Before the damn building collapses!” I spun in circles looking for whoever is behind all this. CRACK. The noise came from the back of my skull. Pain surged through my head. Everything went black.
