She had returned to her normal self but was relatively quiet the whole flight it worried me to no end. I looked over to her she looked sad. "Rainbow." No response I flew under her flying upside down. "Rainbow." Still nothing I sighed moving my hand up placing it on her shoulder. "Rainbow we are almost there." I smiled to her when she finally snapped out of her state. We slowed to a stop landing next to the restaurant. "Let's go get some food I'm starved." Rainbow stretched walking into the building I followed her quickly avoiding a few people on my way. We sat in the center of the restaurant I could feel the eyes upon me made me feel uneasy. "I wish they put us in a booth in the back these stares are killing me." I whispered to Rainbow she only chuckled. "Just smile and shrug it off like you always do." She waved her hand dismissively. I looked around the people went back to their food. "I hope you are right Rainbow, I hate being treated like an outcast over something stupid." I said a little to loud I looked over to see a couple staring at me with so much malice. Great that was Lightshock's parents. "Rainbow I don't want to sound rude but we should eat quickly then leave." I just wanted to go back to my isolation. "Frost..." Rainbow seemed worried for me I only sighed. "Ok after this lets go for a flight I wanna show you a cool spot." She smiled. Our food arrived shortly after we were both starving so eat the meal quickly didn't take long but we still had a long chat as we ate just some talk about flight and A.W.G.'s I told her about Serith and how I had obtained her. "Dad always believed in me said I could conquer anything I set my mind to." I looked down at my hands I saw that horrific flash once again all that blood. "I went and found The Aurora stone thus I created Serith she has been with me for as long as I could remember." Moving my hand to the strap of my A.W.G. I felt Serith. The waiter approached setting the check down I pulled out a few bits I placed them on the check standing up. "Let's get out of here I wanna see that spot." I smiled to Rainbow and was rewarded with a smile from her. ------------------------------------------------------- We left the building but was stopped by Lightshock's parents. I watched his mother walk up. Knowing what was coming I didn't even try to defend myself a hand struck me across the face. Rainbow was about to jump the woman I raised my hand telling her to stop. "You... Monster you killed our only son it's your fault he is dead. Do you know the pain of bury your child?" She asked me crying as she yelled at me. "Give us back out Light give back our son." I watched this woman break down I only watched as she cried. I turned around walking away from her. "ARE YOU JUST GOING TO LEAVE WITH WHAT YOU HAVE STOLEN FROM US!" She yelled as I continued to walk away. "Frost... Why didn't you stick up for yourself?" Rainbow asked me I only continued to walk keeping my face hidden. She grabbed my shoulder turning me around. What was that look on her face? Shock, worry, sympathy, or some mixture of the three? I wiped away my tears. "Why are you crying?" She asked me when she raised her hand towards my face I backed away. "It's my curse to bear for not stopping my brother the pain the families feel is directed towards me." I was still crying but it had to be said. "Monsters like me are hated." A hand struck me across the face. I was stunned looking at Rainbow. "You are not a monster Frost." Her words were filled with anger but not towards me but for how I was talking. "Monsters don't feel the pain of others they only care about themselves." She placed her hand on my cheek. "Now stop crying Frost or I will not show you the spot." I smiled to her words wiping away my final tears she smiled taking off towards the outskirts of Ponyville I followed quickly. --------------------------------------------------------- The spot was beautiful it overlooked rolling hills the sun was just beginning to set on the horizon. I was in awe of how peaceful the place looked. "So how do you like my spot." Rainbow's words tore my attention from the view. "I normally come here to relax just to get away from the world you know." I looked over to her the sun was hitting her just right that her hair glowed. "Beautiful." I whispered she looked over to me. "Yea this spot sure is." I smiled looking at the view again. "I wasn't talking about the view Rainbow Dash." I noticed her blushing in the corner of my eye. "I'm lucky I guess." I looked back over at Rainbow she was looking back at me. "I found a girl who won't judge me upon my past." The sun was just about finished setting behind Rainbow the moon soon took it's place behind me. "Someone I would gladly sacrifice everything to protect." She seemed to be touched by that. "I will always be loyal to Rainbow Dash, the woman who thawed my heart of ice." I turned to look out towards the field. I felt a light peck on my cheek I looked over to see Rainbow facing away from me. "That was so cheesy Frost." She stated crossing her arms in a huff. I leaned over kissing her on the top of her head. "Yea but you wouldn't like me any other way." I stood up looking in the distance. "But it's all true I no longer feel pain when I am with you." I rubbed the back of my head. "I don't know how to say it but my soul feels at peace with everything I have done with you around." Rainbow stood up watching me carefully. "Frost you suck at trying to be romantic." She slugged me in the arm. "Now let's get home." Rainbow smiled moving away blushing.
