Chapter 2

CHAPTER 2:
It was a dark and stormy night when the duo arrived at Jace's home. The young filly had been drenched by the rain on the way back to the small cottage. Jace was soaked as well, but he didn't notice. He set the filly on a small, creaky bed. Jace then grabbed a dry towel from a hook that it had been hanging on. He wrapped Jack in the towel and dried the shaking filly.

Jace stopped when the filly was fully dry, then he grabbed a small hunk of plastic. Jace called this a "TV Remote" and then pressed a white button near the edge of the plastic. A large black box with a screen on it then turned on. Jack was astonished by this magical box.

"You sure like TV, don't you?" asked Jace
"Yes, I like this.. TV thing..." answered Jack
"Well, what do you want to watch?"
"Anything... I'm still amazed by this TV!"

Jace then pressed two buttons on the remote, which caused the images on the TV to change.

"This is called, 'The History Channel,' it's one of my favorite channels."
"Oh, I like that thing right there," Jack said as he pointed,"What is that thing?"
"Oh that? That is a Fokker DR.I, it is a plane."
"What's a plane?"
"A plane is a machine that lets humans fly."

Jack was stunned. He didn't know that humans were so smart! They found out a way to fly!!!
Jack was so shocked that he passed out.

He awoke later to find Jace asleep, so he snuggled into Jace's empty arms.

...

The next morning was just like any morning. Jack woke up first and then woke Jace.

Jace woke and then rolled out of bed and onto the floor. He walked out of the room, then came back two minutes later with a cup of a black liquid. Jack sipped the liquid, which seemed to perk him up.

"Wait, Jack..."
"Yes?"
"You're a pegasus right?"
"Yes."
"Then, why haven't I seen you fly?"

Jack was silent for a few minutes, but then he answered.

"My wing didn't come out the right way, that's what the nurses told me."
"Oh, alright."

So, Jace then stirred his drink as Jack watched television for some time. Then, Jack broke the silence.

"Jace, why didn't you look at Fallen Star?"
"Because, I knew that you were the right choice! Jack, I know that you were not that popular among the other fillies. Well, I'm not that popular either... I know what you've been through, so that's why I chose you"

Jack hugged Jace, and Jace returned the embrace. Then, the two prepared for breakfast
