Chapter 10

Chapter 10 – The War

The diner has held a low but enticing tone to the two ponies, despite the fact that their conversations have dwelled heavily on past events and cites to which neither of the two ponies have ever seen. However, the words that have been scattered by the lovely bitter wine the two ponies drink are only half of the conversation as each other continues to mess with the pony across from them under the table.

The mostly empty bottle that sits to the dying candle on their right along with the cleaned off plates that sit on the other side stand testament to the lengthy dinner date the mare called for.

But just as the mare's story comes to it's end she speaks up with the words she has been awaiting since she saw the young stallion flinch at his own name, "...So tell Aerolight, you know everything about me and my family. But yet I know next to nothing about yours." Her eyes lower as they glow with a faint magic to them, "Why don't you tell me a little."

Aerolight's young mind and the continued little enticings he has felt brush against his lower body have kept his eyes from noticing the mare's glow as he finally speaks up, "Me?"

Despite the mare's spell she tries to impose on the stallion he is slow to continues as she holds a smile, "Oh yes...I would love to hear your thoughts, and the emotion you showed earlier was...." Her smile lowers her head a little as she continues, "Most intriguing."

The southern drawl brings out Aerolight's voice as he speaks up, "Well I would think everypony knows about my mom and dad... And I wouldn't be surprised if everypony knew my sister."

His tone and continued stare that dropped to the table slowly starts to fade the mare's smile as she cocks her head a little.

Aerolight shrugs a little as he continues, "...I grew up in Ponyville so nothing really happened unless it revolves some how around my family." A faint laugh comes up as he continues, "At first it's kinda cool to have everypony know you in town...But it gets a little different when you get older."

He pokes his tongue to his teeth a little in his mouth as he looks up; the change in his head breaks the glow to the mare's eyes as she now just listens to his voice, "Obviously it's different to be an earth pony with magic, and that's the problem." Aerolight shakes his head a little as he squints to her, "Ya everypony wants to know me or talk to me, but it wasn't because of me it was because of what I could do or..."

The young stallion sighs as he shakes his head again as his gaze drops back to the table, "...Or what they expected me to do." He squints to the cloth of the table as he continues, "My magic was not strong enough to follow what my sister did in the unicorn school and i'm not smart like my mom...And my dad..."

Aerolight's voice changes a little as he sits up a little more in his chair, eyes focused on the mare in front of him who has stopped her under table game, "I don't want to do what eveypony expects me to do. I want to do what I think is right, w-why should I have to be held in some light because of other ponies you know?"

There is a moment of silence at the table as Aerolight just waves his hoof, "...Sorry I got a little off topic. But my dad stopped by today-." His words flicks the mare's ear but she continues to listen as she just squints to the pony in front of her, "-.and told me my sister lost the foal she's been trying to have for the last couple of years."

Aerolight stops his voice as he blinks to the hoof he has resting on the table, "...She wants everypony up tomorrow, but I can't go...Not after what I said today."

Milky is quite as Aerolight's voice comes down, however she nods her head as her low voice comes back, "I understand how you feel."

The words flick the stallion's ear as he looks up to the mare.

"My Mother disagreed with how I wanted to rule-...Torttingham." She gives a little smile to the name as she continues, "It feels horrible when you can not live up to an expectation. However..."

Milky leans forwards a little as she looks over the stallion across from her, "...I did learn something from it. I learned that whether she thought I was right or wrong did not matter, what mattered was that I did what I thought was right." Her voice stops as the light smile on her face disappears and she leans back to her seat.

Aerolight's ears stay on edge to the comment as he waits for the words he felt that would come after...But the mare does not bring her voice up as she looks almost as if she is trying to hold off some hard thought.

However, the moment of silence to the table and the slightly emotional journey the two ponies just ended are pushed aside; as Milky tries to change the conversation back to the reason why she wanted to see this stallion. A faint giggle comes up as she tightens her posture, "I must say Aerolight, this was much better than Celestia's party..."

Her eyes spark up again as she continues, "Would you care to walk me back to my room?"

Aerolight's pink eyes widen a little as a faint green coat of color comes over them for a moment. The full front gaze the stallion was locked in now has been taken hold off as the mare looks over the almost zombified expression as he nods.

Milky moves from the table as the stallion follows after her, even forgetting to grab his bag from the table.

The two ponies trot is not hindered by anypony as they slink out from the dining hall. The mare is not worried about anypony stopping her seeing as how she picked this restaurant knowing if they left the dinner would just be added to her stay.

Aerolight's trot behind the mare is held at a normal pace despite his far off gaze as she leads him into the lobby of the hotel and then quickly up the stairs.

Milky's speed has made quick work of the hallway as she moves to her room's door, with a quick turn of the handle she steps inside with the stallion quickly after her.

Under the safety of the bed room's walls she sparks up her own magic as her eyes glow bright and the door to the room comes shut.

A little laugh comes up from the mare as she begins to look over the stallion that stands straight postured and eyes wide open in the middle of the room.

"Oh Aerolight, you truly got lucky didn't you?" The southern tone shifts a little as she cocks her head to the stallion awaiting a response that she knows will not come up.

Still she continues to look over the stallion as she takes a step closer, "Your family has thwarted so many plans of ours...But all that won't matter after you help make me the most powerful mare in Equestria will it?"

As her words come to an end her coat takes on a changeling green glow that starts to now shine in Aerolight's coat.

However, just as her magic starts to come over the stallion her smile starts to drop as she stares to the soft pink eyes that look right back to her.

The light lapse in judgment is all that is needed as her magic chimes to the room and the stallion in front of her is freed from his daze.

Milky stands in shock to his now blinking eyes as she just awaits a bolt of retaliation from the stallion she is sure has heard her little plan.

But the young stallion just blinks to the new room around him as he tries to remember how he got here. However, his quick survey of the room comes to an end as he turns back to the stunned mare's expression.

Aerolight looks to her for a moment before he slowly brings himself forward for a kiss.

Milky's eyes go even wider to the press of the stallion's lips as she feels a little tingle of magic rumble in between them. Aerolight pays no attention to it though seeing as how it is the same feeling he always gets when he kisses a pony... But despite that fact, this kiss is different. This kiss the stallion pushed forward is not to seal the deal on the prize he believes he has won. Instead this kiss to the stallion is summed up in a few words as he takes his magic sparked lips away from the mare, "I have been wanting to do that all night...."

The mare just blinks to the statement, in awe as to why he has not asked or even wondered how he got into the room.

However, she can not help but take the extra hoof, craving that tingle of magic she felt.

Aerolight obliges as he quickly meets her half way. Like before the rumble of his magic against her lips sends a little chill down her back as she begins to almost melt from the embrace. Mainly just to the fact that this little surge of magic at any moment could break the changeling's spell, revealing her true self and most likely spelling her doom.

But the stallion's unique taste is too much to resist and she no longer feels herself in control of her own actions as her new found desire forces her to take a step backwards towards the bed in the room. All the while pulling the stallion along with her.

The stallion notices the little pull towards the bed as he breaks the kiss and hesitates. His heart now pumps hard as he actually starts to fight with himself not to do this, not because of some inner voice telling him what she is but instead because of his own building emotions.

To the stallion's paused trot the lightly freckled nose mare brings her newly regained southern voice up, "I do believe you have won Aerolight."

The sweet voice drives the stallion crazy as his doubts are quickly chased away and he finds himself trotting forward with a response, "You're no prize...." He quickly presses a heated kiss to her as she moves her flank to the bed and a hoof to his chest. His head comes back from the mare as he finishes his statement, "...You're the trophy."

A true to life giggle comes from the mare as she feels the stallion moving closer to the bed again with another kiss.

The two ponies hold the embrace as Aerolight's magic flares up from the sparks on his lips to turn off the lights, leaving nothing but the two windows to shine the room with the bright full moon outside.
