"Well I didn't expect to be attacked today." I smiled. Her beautiful pink and purple curly mane covered my face as she laid on top of me. Her green eyes staring down at me with a bright smile. She pulled me into a hug which I returned gratefully. "I'm back. Did you miss me?" I asked holding her as tight as she was holding me.
"Of course I did you big goofball." She laughed as she pulled back. Her soft voice was music to my ears. Her laugh was so adorable, I haven't heard it in such a long time that I forgot what it sounded like.
"Now could you let me up off your sister's floor." I asked her.
"Oh, Oh yeah sorry." She said getting off me with a small blush that was bright as day and turned to Rarity. "I got all of fabrics you needed Rarity." She said cheerily.
"Thank you Sweetie ." She said taking it from Sweetie's new magenta magic aura that almost looked as beautiful as she did.
"Is it okay if me and Button walk around a bit to catch up?" Sweetie asked.
"Of course it is Sweetie, go right ahead." She smiled
"Let's go Button." She said while she pulled me to the door. Seemed like Sweetie also got stronger.
"Bye, Rarity." I said before being pulled outside.
"Good luck Button." I heard her say from outside.
Sweetie stopped pulling me and started walking with me next to her. Its been so long sense I've gotten to just hang out with her. She was smiling as we walked down the cobblestone streets of Ponyville. We caught up on what each other has been doing in the past 13 years that we spent apart. Turns out she has been pursuing a career as a singer, picking up gigs wherever she can. She has also wrote some songs that she's performed here and actually some in Canterlot. Listening to her rumble on about what she's done was cute, she's been doing a lot and that made me really proud of her. Then I told her about the new music studio coming here and she started to bounce up and down happily. She began talking about her future in music. We ended up at the fountain when she stopped and blushed, most likely remembering I was right next to her the entire time.
"Oh, Sorry Button. How have you been." She said calming down from the endless smiles and bouncing.
"I've been good. Los Pegasus was good but it never felt like home as much as Ponyville ever did." I told her as we sat down on one of the benches in the fountain square. "The job has been nice meeting a bunch of stars and famous bands. Sadly, I have to wait a while before the studio to be finished so I guess I'm on vacation until then." I continued. I told her about my mom and the big city and the new friends that I was able to make there.
"You know I missed you a lot right?" She asked me.
"Yeah. I missed you a lot too." I answered and I pulled her into another hug.
"How long has it been Button, since we saw each other like this? Let alone talk to each other?" She asked with her head resting on my shoulder.
"About 13 years Sweetie." I answered pulling back.
"How did time go be so quickly. Seemed like yesterday you left for Los Pegasus and we promised to stay in touch." She said. Then she start to lean on me putting her head on my shoulder.
"Tell about these songs you've wrote Sweetie. " I asked her trying to lead her away from this road. I wanted to learn about her songs they were always beautiful and quite amazing. She was always a great singer and had a beautiful voice when it came to singing.
"I've wrote maybe, 5 songs. I'm working on one now, it was suppose to be a duet but I lost one of the pages to it so I have to write it all over again and I forgot the words to that part, plus I have no pony to sing it with me. I was going to sing at a event before the summer sun celebration on Wednesday but I have to think up a way to make it a solo before then." She sighed and continued to rest her head on my shoulder. I was going to give her the page back when we got back to her home but then I started to think about singing with her. I never wanted to try to sing because I was caught up with video games and when I got older, work. I also couldn't write any songs to sing but I could try now with her to help me along.
"I think I found your missing part of the song..." I began. She instantly perked up.
"Where is it?" she asked me.
"At your house with Rarity." I replied. " I think I also know some pony who could sing with, "
"Who?" She asked. I could see a confused look on her face.
"Me." I replied
"You?"
"Yes."
"Since when do you have the desire to sing."
"When I started at Eclipse Records."
"Okay then, when we get back we can start. If that's okay with you?" She asked
"That's fine." I replied. That's taken care of. We continued to sit there discussing about the song and how we were going to pull it off. Then she suggested that we go and eat at a cafe she knows. We got there and it was a nice little cafe with some outside seating which we sat down in. We continued to talk about it through out our lunch. Then a group of stallions stopped by and interrupted us.
"Well, well ,well what do we got here?" One of them said. I quickly looked at him, He was a pegasus and had a dark blue coat and a short yellow mane, it reminded me of what a cut a guard would have.
"Looks like Belle has a date." The one to the right said. This one also a pegasus which had a light gray coat and a light blue mane that looked like his buddies mane cuts. I started to think that these guys were guards if not then they were either in training or vigilantes trying to look cool.
"Can you guys just not do this today?" Sweetie exhaustedly asked them.
"Why not? Is it a special day or something." The blue one asked with a weird smile.
"I'm just sick and tired of you guys doing this." She defended
"Well just say yes and we will stop." He continued
"No, Sky, I'm not going out with you." She replied
"C'mon Sweetie you know you want to say yes." He moved next to her.
"For the last time NO!" She shouted straight in his face. He closed his eyes but still continued.
"Sweetie all you have to do is just say yes." That's when I had to step in. I got up and walked next to him and Sweetie.
"She said no, okay? You got it. So that means leave her alone which she has said today." I said defensively but that didn't change anything important.
"Get out of the way little colt before you hurt yourself." He said to me coldly. Then I snapped like a twig. I'm not the one to jump to violence but I can. I toke a fighting class in Las Pegasus for defense because my mother justified with 'if the need every a rise'. Which it didn't until now I guess. I grabbed his shoulders and calmly pushed him away from Sweetie. He stumbled a little but kept his balance. I stepped in front of him and Sweetie.
"Get it through your head she's not interested in you." I told him more harshly than I wanted to. He walked straight up to me, his face was inches from mine but I held my ground. I could fell him breathing and he just stared at me as I stared at him, eye to eye.
"Fine, guys let's go." He turned away and began walking away with his friends. "See you next time Sweetie." He laughed as he disappeared shortly followed by his friends.
"Thank you Button and I'm sorry for that whole." She apologized as I sat back down
"There is no need to apologize Sweetie. I was only trying to help you" I told her. I think she smiled a little at the response but I couldn't tell, she kept her head down. We silently finished up at the cafe and I paid for the lunch. We started to walk back to her house, the sun was starting to set below the trees when I brought up the subject again. "Who were they Sweetie? If you don't mind me asking."
"Their names are Sky Light, Blue Cloud, and Lightning Air." She replied "Their guards in training and they think their practicality invincible because of it. " She laughed a little. "Don't worry about them Button, okay."
"If you say so Sweetie." We walked into the boutique and said hello to Rarity. Sweetie told her about the day, excluding the part with the group of guards in training which honestly raised some alarms with me. She gave Sweetie her music page then Sweetie dragged me to her room. Where we began practicing her song but I never forgot the names of those stallions or their actions.
