Time: 0638 hours
Ghost shot straight up in a cold sweat and breathing heavily. Ghost looked around any Covenant soldiers as her eyes darted to find anything that was out of place. A few very long second ticked away as Ghost started to calm down.
“Just a nightmare.” Ghost said under her breath. Ghost looked towards the window and could see that the sun as not even risen yet. Ghost sighed as she got out of bed and fell on to all fours.
(Inside Ghost’s head) “Inside guest room, check, inside new pony body, check, in magical land of talking ponies…” Ghost looked out the window “…double check.” Ghost through to herself. Ghost looked around the room one more time before sighing again. Ghost looked at the bookcase to see if there was a book that will help her understand about this world.
(Inside Ghost’s head) “These are all story books and non-fiction! Damn it! Well I am in a library, there’s probably a book down stairs that will have the info I need.” Ghost through to herself. Ghost made her way but stopped suddenly as she remembered a detail that out of place “nightmares”.
(Inside Ghost’s head) “The nightmare! I haven’t had nightmares in years, so why now?” Ghost asked herself. Ghost could only remember the last time she had nightmares was in the early days of Spartan training, but she never had a nightmares when she became a Spartan.
(Inside Ghost’s head) “It’s impossible for Spartans to have nightmares, Dr Halsey’s training program made sure of that Spartans don’t feel fear and not to have nightmare. So why did I have one? Am I broken?” Ghost thought to herself with all the possibilities flying through her mind but it was not important right now so Ghost surged it off and walked out of the guest room.

Time: 0641 hours
Ghost walked down stairs in to the main room of the library as her eyes looked around again to find anything out place and again nothing. Ghost walked up to one of the bookcases and looked over some of the book titles. After a minute or two, Ghost decided to look over another bookcase but a small desk in the corner of the room court her eye. Ghost turned and walked up to the desk it was a small with a few scrolls on it and two ink pots with one of them with a quill in it. But it was the letter or note that was laid out in the center that court Ghost's interest.
(Inside Ghost’s head) “This might be interesting?” Ghost said to herself as she picked it up and read through it. “Friendship report… dear princess Celestia… magic of friendship don’t make me laugh.” Ghost mumbled under breath with a smirk on her face. Ghost put the so called friendship report back on the deck and went back to finding a book to read.

Time: 0730 hours
Fluttershy awoke to the sound of taping. Fluttershy open her eyes and lifted her head to see what was making that noise. Fluttershy soon found out it was her little pet bunny Angel taping his foot on the chest of draws that sat next to her bed. Angel stood there with his arms folded as he continued tapping his foot with a *about bloody time you woke up* look on his face.
“Oh morning, Angel.” Fluttershy said with a yawn. Angel just rolled his eyes as Fluttershy got out of bed.
“I will be down in a minute Angel.” Fluttershy said as she made her way to the bathroom. Angel rolled his eyes again and made his way down stairs. Fluttershy made her way in to the bathroom and looked at herself in the mirror behind and sink. Fluttershy mane had a bad case of bed-head, her fur and tail was more or less the same and Fluttershy’s feathers were all tatted. Fluttershy picked up her hairbrush and brushed her mane, tail and fur coat.
(After 5 minutes brushing.)
Fluttershy was finished her mane, tail and fur were prefect, now all that was left was her feathers. Fluttershy turned her head around started pruning her feathers starting with her right wing then the left.
(Another 5 minutes later)
Fluttershy was again finished. The sound of tapping got Fluttershy’s attention making her look towards the door to see Angel tapping his foot.
“Sorry Angel… I… was… just… er… making myself look nice because… we have a guest.” Fluttershy said putting on a fake smile and blushing badly. Angel tilled his head to the side with an eyebrow raised as if he was asking *Why?*. Fluttershy looked back to
the mirror and started brushing her teeth. (No idea! How?)
(Angel’s POV)
“My master is acting very weird but why, normally she would wake up feed me and the others without all this brushing and grooming.” Angel thought to himself.
“Then again she has been acting weird then that male walked in to my master’s home." Angel thought to himself again trying to put the pieces together, then it hit him.
"She has fallen for that male, no wonder she grooming herself." Thought to himself, with a smile
on his face. Angel would have been happy for her but at this point he just wanted to be fed.
[A.N](Yes in this story Angel is a little bit less of an asshole)
Fluttershy finished brushing her teeth and checked them that they were all white, flawless, smooth and she made sure her breath was minty fresh.
“Prefect.” Fluttershy said as she looked herself over and smiled, but Fluttershy’s smile quick faded.
(Inside Fluttershy’s head) “Why am I doing this, just for Ice to like me? No I should be myself, but most stallions pay no mind to me, when I am myself.” Fluttershy mentally battled with herself. Fluttershy sighed as she made up her mind.
“Ok Fluttershy, act like yourself for now but if plan A fails go to plan B.” Fluttershy said herself as she looked at reflection. She nodded agreeing with herself and made her way down stairs.
Location: Fluttershy’s cottage/ Living room
Time: 0742 hours
Fluttershy made her way in to her living room and looked to her sofa. Ice was laying on his belly, with his head resting on his forelegs, his back legs were tucked under his body and his tail hanging off the edge of the sofa. Fluttershy giggled quietly to herself.
(Inside Fluttershy’s head) “He looks so cute, when he’s sleeping.” Fluttershy thought to herself.
“Morning, Fluttershy.” Ice said not opening his eyes. Fluttershy jumped in surprise.
“Oh… Ice you’re a wake.” Fluttershy said putting a hoof to her chest to try and slow down her racing heart. (Because of the jump scare) Ice opened his eyes and looked with a small smile on his face. Ice got off the sofa and started stretching his aching back muscles. Ice turned his head to find Fluttershy staring at him with a blush on her face and her wings out stretched.
“Are you alright?” Ice asked snapping Fluttershy back to reality.
“Oh… I’m f-fine… I was… just… um… looking at your muscles.” Fluttershy said whispering out the last part as Ice’s eyes then wide.
“Thank you Fluttershy, I guess.” Ice said putting on a smile.
(Inside Ice’s head) “Well this is awkward.” Ice thought to himself. Fluttershy and Ice in the living room, just standing there in silent giving each other a fake smile.
(Inside Fluttershy’s head) “Stupid, stupid, stupid, what was I thinking!” Fluttershy mentally cursed herself. A tapping got Fluttershy and Ice attention. Both of them looked down to see a little white bunny.
“Oh… sorry Angel.” Fluttershy said looking at Angel. Fluttershy looked back up to Ice.
“Ice would you like something to eat?” Fluttershy asked. Ice was about to said no but his stomach grumbled in protest. Fluttershy giggled as Ice blushed in embarrassment.
“Yes please Miss Fluttershy.” Ice said trying to sound plight.
“Just Fluttershy is fine.” Fluttershy said making little circles with the tip of her hoof, on the floor.
“Thank you, Fluttershy.” Ice said with a nodded. Fluttershy walk to the pick the bag of food but Ice spoke up.
“Fluttershy would you a hand with the bag again.” Ice offered. Fluttershy turned her head to face him.
“Yes that… w-would be… n-nice…” Fluttershy said blushing and rubbing her foreleg.

Twilight awoke to the sound beep, beep, beeping from her magically enchanted alarm clock. Twilight lazily lifted her hoof and
pressed the alarm’s off button. Twilight sat up on her bed and looked at her clock. the clock read 7:45am.
[Picture a crystal with a clock face on it / how it works / the crystal, is magically lined up with the sun, so it only go’s off when the sun is at the 7:45am point in the sky] (Celestia’s sun is always on time)
Twilight got off her bed a slow made way to the door but stopped looked at her dragon son. Spike was fast asleep, all curled up in his blanket as he sucked on his thump. Twilight couldn’t help but smile at him.
“He so cute, when sucks his little dragon thump like that.” Twilight said quietly in a motherly cooing voice. Twilight give Spike a kiss on the forehead and start heading for the door, letting Spike sleep in.

Ghost was joining the book she was currently read, but the first book she read not so much. Ghost looked up at the two books that she had finished. The first book was all about ponies ranging from the different races to the biology, Ghost did skip the parts about “mating” because to Ghost it was not important. The second book she had read was all about Equestria as a country. And the book Ghost was read was all about Equestria’s history, which was making Ghost laugh.
“Rising and lowering sun and moon how fucking stupid are this ponies?” Ghost said as she burst out laughing. Ghost wiped a tear form her eye.
“I haven’t laughed this hard in a long time.” Ghost said as she heard a door open form up stairs. Ghost looked up towards the stairs to see Twilight.
“Good morning, Ghost.” Twilight said with smile.
“Morning, Twilight.” Ghost said putting on a small smile. Twilight looked at the two next to Ghost, then to the book in front of Ghost.
“I see that you like to read, Ghost.” Twilight said looking up to Ghost.
“Well I don’t mind reading but I just thought that, you know new world, new rules kind of thing.” Ghost joked as she gestured the world around her with a hoof. Twilight rolled her eyes at Ghost’s joke.
“So was the bed alright?” Twilight asked hoping Ghost had a goodnight sleep.
“Yeah, and I got to said that last night was the best sleep I have never.” Ghost said giving Twilight a smile trying to sound plight. Twilight smiled at Ghost’s compartment. Ghost looked back down to the book she was reading.
“Ghost would you some breakfast?” Twilight asked as Ghost looked up at her.
“Thank you Twilight, I would like that.” Ghost said as closed the book and put on top the others, she had read. Twilight made her way to the kitchen, with Ghost following behind her.
Location: Twilight’s library / kitchen
Time: 0756 hours
Twilight and Ghost where sitting down at the table, eating the oatmeal that Twilight had made. (Twilight using her magic to hold the spoon and Ghost is using her right wing like a hand) Twilight looked up from her bowl, to look towards Ghost. Twilight wanted speak to Ghost about what she had said last night. But when Twilight wanted, to ask the questions about Ghost and Ice’s world but the lump in her throat, stopped her from asking. Ghost swallowed the mouthful of oats, before speaking up.
“Is something wrong?” Ghost asked, not looking up from her bowl. Twilight didn’t say anything but look away from Ghost, avoiding
eye contact. Ghost looked up at Twilight.
“Twilight.” Ghost said in tone voice making Twilight look at Ghost, with a look of… fear.
“You’re scared of me, aren’t you?” Ghost said raising an eyebrow. Twilight shook her head rapidly.
“No, no, no, no it just… yesterday, when you spoke of your world… it’s… it’s… I can’t… how can they, just kill and destroy for no reason.” Twilight said with hate and anger. Ghost glared, looking down at the table so her anger was not focuses on Twilight.
“It’s all to do with some kind of *Great Journey*, the journey to please the gods and make themselves gods as well. And the best part is humanity was in the wrong, place at the wrong time and WE ARE LOSING!” Ghost ranted on through gritted teeth, yelling the last part with cold icy venom dripping from every word.
The room was dead silent.
Ghost and Twilight sat in silent with the only sound that could be heard was their breathing. Ghost looked towards Twilight to see that she was, shocked. Twilight face soon turned to one of sadness.
“Ghost, I thought you said that humanity was winning the war.” Twilight said with tears starting to build in her eyes. Ghost didn’t say anything but the look, on her face said it all.
“Ghost… I… I…” Twilight was cut off Ghost.
“Can we drop the topic… for now.” Ghost said with a tone that made Twilight cower, in to her seat.
“Sorry.” Ghost quickly apologized.
“It… ok…” Twilight Whispered out, still a bit scared of Ghost. After several minutes of silent’s, Ghost spoke up.
“So Twilight what do you have plan for today?” Ghost said trying to lighten up the mood. Twilight was surprised at Ghost sudden change of attitude, but Twilight remembered her plans that she had made today.
“Oh buck!” Twilight said as she put a hoof to her mouth. Ghost raised an eyebrow.
“Me and girls are help Applejack today.” Twilight said grapping her empty bowl and darting towards the kitchen sink.
“With, what?” Ghost asked as she put the last spoonful oat in to mouth.
“Oh, Applejack old barn was damaged in a storm last week and she had already order a new, bigger version of her old barn to replace it but with Big Mac hard at work, Granny Smith being too frail and Applebloom being too young for the heavy lifting. Me and the girls decided to help out on Sunday, which is today.” Twilight informed Ghost as she put her bowl in the sink.
“Oh, that’s nice of you.” Ghost said putting on a small smile.
“Um… Ghost?” Twilight asked.
“Yeah.” Ghost replied.
“I was thinking that if you like to join me and the others?” Twilight said rubbing the back of her head with a hoof.
(Inside Ghost’ head) “Well I have nothing do part form research, some manual labor won’t hurt.” Ghost thought to herself.
“I don’t see why not, I'm in.” Ghost said with a smirk.
“Yes, the more help the better.” Twilight said clapping her front hoofs.

After 10 minutes all of Fluttershy’s animals were feed. As Fluttershy walked into the kitchen, Ice put the bag of animal food back were it belonged, then started walking to the kitchen. The Spartan stopped when something hit him on the back of the head. Ice turned around to see a carrot on the floor next to his feet and looked up to see, a little white bunny with another carrot in its paws. The bunny dropped the carrot and then he pointed to his eyes with a paw then pointed at Ice, as if to say *I’m watching you!*. Ice just turned and made his way in to the kitchen.
Location: Fluttershy’s cottage/ kitchen
Time: 0753 hours
Ice walked in the kitchen to see, Fluttershy was flying around the kitchen, grabbing a frying pan and putting it on the cooker, then lands in front of the fridge, humming to herself as her tail sway left to right.
(Inside Fluttershy’s head) What to cook, what to cook? Well, maybe haycakes? Yes he will like them, I hope. Fluttershy thought to herself.
Ice just watched Fluttershy has she few round the kitchen, as Ice was watched her he made mentally notes of how Fluttershy was using her wings, like how many times she flaps them, how she angles them to make turns and so on. Ice watched Fluttershy for a few minutes before he turned to look at his own wings. Ice opened up his right wing looked at it, his feathers where a little dirty but no damage. Ice did the same for this right again a little bit of dirt no damage, Ice also saw that on his back was a flew spots of dirt on his fur.
Fluttershy poured the fleshly made haycake mix in to the pan. Fluttershy turned her head towards Ice, to see that Ice was looking at his out stretched wings.
(Inside Fluttershy’s head) “Oh my…” Fluttershy thought to herself. Fluttershy face went bright crimson as her wings shot out with *poof* sound. Ice turned towards the sound and saw Fluttershy standing there, with her wings out stretched, eyes wide and a blush on her face.
“Er… Fluttershy are you ok?” Ice asked folding his wings back to his sides. Fluttershy snapped back to realty and shook her head trying to get her dirty thoughts out of her mind.
“I'm… f-fine just… er… if you like your haycakes gold or brown?” Fluttershy said as looked back to the pan.
(Inside Ice’s head) “Haycakes probably a horse pun.” Ice thought to himself.
“Well I think… er… I’ll have them golden, please.” Ice said remembering that Ghost told him plight to them. Fluttershy turned smiled nodded at Ice.
“Ok.” Fluttershy said turning back the pan and flipping the haycake.
(After 5 minutes of cooking,)
Fluttershy had finished using up all of the haycake mix. (10 haycakes, 5 each) Fluttershy picked up the pan and put it in the sink.
When Fluttershy turned around what she saw made her heart skip a beat. What she saw that Ice had set the table up with knifes and forks put next to the plate of haycakes, with a mat underneath the plates. But the bit that Fluttershy was the most surprised at, was that Ice had pull a chair out for her and was waiting of her to sit down.
“I thought I could help by setting the table, I hope you don’t mind.” Ice said rubbing the back of this head with a hoof.
“No… its f-fine… it ju-s-st that… no stallion… has well…” Fluttershy stopped half way, as she tried to find the right words. Fluttershy took a deep breath and continued.
“No stallion has ever been kind me, well adept Big Mac, but in general most stallions just… just… just…” Fluttershy fell to her hunches and started crying as she looked at the ground. Ice quickly made his way over to Fluttershy and pulled her to a hug. Fluttershy continued to cry on to Ice’s solder.
(Picture this Fluttershy with her head buried in to Ice’s solder looking down, with her eyes closed with lines of tears running down them and her front hoofs pressed against him. Ice has one foreleg holding the back of her head, the other foreleg hugged her waist just below her wings and his chin gently resting on top her head.)
“T-the-y us-e me… ju-st for a laugh, the-y ask me out-t so, they can-n break my heart-t… in f-front of friends… just-t for fun.” Fluttershy said as she continued sobbing. Ice listened to Fluttershy story, know the feeling all too well of being treated like an outcast. A flashback quickly flashed for a second but Ice know the memory well.
*Flashback*
In space on broad the UNSC Frigate, SS. Hell’s Fist (I don’t know if that’s a ship’s name or not)
Location: Mess Hall
Time: 1302 (Lunch time)
Ghost and Ice finished their Spartan training 2 weeks ago. Now they are being sent in to destroy a Covenant jamming station. Ghost and Ice sat down at one of the tables at the far end of the hall, away form everyone else. Trying to enjoy their meal. but with 100’s pairs of eyes looking and staring at them, made Ice and Ghost tense. Ghost and Ice could hear some of the Marines and ODSTs laughing at them calling them *freaks*, *monsters* and *mutants*. A group of six ODST’s came up to them.
“Well, look what we got here boys, two freaks trying take are seats.” One of the ODST said. Ice looked at the group, knowing all too well that the group in front of them was the same group that was sitting at the front of hall on a table with two other groups of HELL JUMPERS. Both Spartans knew that these HELL JUMPERS wanted to make trouble. Ghost and Ice ignored him and eating their meal.
“Hey, I was talking to you.” The same ODST yelled. Again Ice and Ghost ignored him. The ODST garb the apple off Ice’s tray and took a bite out of it, then spat bits of apple in to Ice’s face. Ice and Ghost glared at the ODST.
“Now I’ve got your attention, I sagest you move or things will get ugly.” The ODST said cracking his knuckles as his ODST buddies
laughed. The ODST dropped the half eaten apple on to Ice’s plate, making the mash potato splat all over the table. Ghost and Ice where all out pissed, now.
The ODST laughed again, and then reached of the apple on Ghost’s tray. But before he could blink Ghost had grabbed hold of his arm and pull down closer to the table, at the same time Ghost grabbed hold of the back of his head and forced it down, making his face slam against the metal table. The Mess Hall went dead silence. Ghost stood up and lifted the knocked out HELL JUMPER by the back of the head and showed the other five HELL JUMPERS. The ODST’s facial bones were all broken and bloody form being slammed to 2 inch metal table by a super human.
“Leave, us, alone.” Ghost said through gritted teeth as she dropped the ODST in her hand. The HELL JUMPERS grabbed their K.O friend run away as Ghost sat back down.
*end of flashback*
Fluttershy continued crying in to Ice’s solder. Ice had no idea how to deal with this, Ice knew that he was well known for his cold hearted nature, not crying civilians that was in Ghost’s job description.
(Inside Ice’s head) “THINK, YOU IDIOT THINK! DO SOMETHING TO MAKE HER HAPPY! ANYTHING!!!!!!” Ice screamed in his mind trying to find an answer. Ice’s eyes scanned around the room trying something that had a clue, to what he should do.
A little white rabbit stood in the doorway looking at Ice with a death glare. Ice looked at the rabbit for second before Ice saw a glass vase by the front door with roses in it. Ice using his left wing to point at the vase then looked at the rabbit then back to the vase. The rabbit followed the direction Ice was looking at and saw the roses. The rabbit turned back to Ice with a surprised look on his face. With a paw the rabbit pointed to the roses, Ice used his wing’s feathers to make a thumps up. The rabbit hopped up to the vase and pulled one rose out. Ice watched the rabbit hop towards him but tiptoed up to him and handed the rose in to Ice’s right wing, before the rabbit quickly tiptoed away.
Ice moved his wing that had the rose so Fluttershy could see it. With three feathers holding the rose in place, Ice used one of his feathers bush aside some of Fluttershy’s mane away from her eyes. Fluttershy felt her mane being moved, she opened her eyes and looked to the side to see a single rose. Fluttershy’s eyes widened as Ice broke the hug to give her the rose. Fluttershy’s heart was pounding as she adapted the rose in her two front hoofs. Fluttershy looked up from the rose to face Ice. Without thinking, Fluttershy grabbed Ice both sides of the head and pulled him in, at the same time Fluttershy closed her eyes and moved forward planting a kiss on Ice’s lips, as her wings shot out with *poof*. Ice froze as his brain did a back flip at the same time his wings went *poof*.
