Chapter Six
The Last Stand.
Daff was ready to fight. He knew that ether Transparent Pie or that sergeant had to be the first to jump into the cab. And, he had the coal shovel in his mouth and was ready to smack who ever poke there head in first. There was no way they could all attack at once.
Just then the whistle of the train stated to blow. Transparent Pie had worked his way to the top of the engine cab and was pulling the whistle cord for all it was wroth to take steam pressure off the boiler. Daff looked up and in doing so drop the shovel. That is when the Sergeant Major Big Guy and other members of the 70th VRG jump on top of the yellow pony and tie him up.
Blood just gave up. Not only did she have to fight Luna, but Sergeant Wild Hair and Privet Cuz had joined in. Taking on three flying ponies was just to much. Each had planed one hard hove hit on top of the other. Blood’s head and back were bloody and battered.
The engineer took over the whistle and started giving the all clear signal. “We are going back to just pulling the train by pony.” He exclaimed.

The train slowing puffed it’s way into Ponyville. The bell sounding happy that the trip was done. The wounded members of the 70th VRG lay about on the small flat bed car as Ned looked over each of them.
Princess Luna spotted her sister. And, once the train had stop, she jumped out and ran to her. The two of them niggles each other and even rapped themselves in hugs. As the wounded were taking off the small flat bed car and placed on the loading platform of the train station.
The army mule captain order the formation of the troops. And the Sergeant Major saw that the order were carried out. “Look snappy! We got royalty. Keep it neat!” Once the member of the 70th VGR were on line the sergeant major took his place and reported. “Captain. Only the colonel is missing and uncounted for.” Privet Fishy wept softly at the loss.
Princess Twilight said. “Your friend is in the hospital. Our mail mare, Derpy, save him form falling off the train.” As she pointed out the little gray Pegasus. Derpy blushed, as the sergeant major ask for three cheers. The 70th then cry out “DERPY! DERPY! DERPY! YAY!” Rainbow Dash folded her hooves, and said under her breath. “Well, I help, too.”
Princess Celestia then ask. “Luna, are you alright?”
“Oh, sister.” Luna started. “I well tell you all about it, but right now I just want to get all the every pony back home and make sure they are safe.”
It took a little work, but soon the last of the ponies were loaded onto a new train that was heading to Canterlot. Only Transparent Pie was staying behind. He had to return to his bakery back in Appleloosa.
Princess Luna looked at the dirty face pony. “You were very brave today.” She said.
“Well.” Said Transparent Pie. “I think you were also very brave and we all work together. But, thank you for saying that.” He stammered. He could feel the blood rush to his face and he knew what was happing. But, it had been some time sense he had felt this way around a mare. Let alone a Princess.
Luna on the other hove, did not care. She wanted to be close to the nice looking Earth pony. “Well, I have to go back to the Capital. But, I can return as soon as my guards are feeling better.”
Transparent Pie started to sweat. “Well, um. You do have to come and get your sky chariot.”
Luna started to laugh. “I forgot all about that thing.” The two ponies started to laugh together. But, it was a short lived laughter.
The two of them just let the feeling go, and let themselves kiss. “See you soon?” Said Luna. “I hope so.” Said Transparent Pie.
Princess Luna boarded the train and took her place next to her sister Celestia. “We need to talk sister.”
“I know, Celestia, but I did complete my missions, and I just wanted to help the other ponies. I am sorry.”
“Luna.” Said Celestia. “All that aside for the moment. You can not just kiss other ponies in public like you just did.”
Princess Luna’s eye grew big as the train started to pull away form Ponyville. “My first kiss and I just miss it?”
“Luna? How could you miss kiss another pony?” Celestia wanted to know.
“Sister, I was so rap up in the feeling and thoughts. That I just sort of, somehow, just like it to much?”
