Ice just stood there frozen, having no idea what that was or what just happen. Fluttershy move afoot away from Ice and she stood there with her whole face was crimson as she looked at the ground. “What… was… that?” Ice said as his voice trembled. Fluttershy eyes widen as she looked up to him, in shock. “You have ever been kiss before?” Fluttershy asked as she looked at Ice in a new light. Ice shook his head, keeping his eyes locked with Fluttershy’s. “(Gasp) Not ever by your mother?” Fluttershy asked sounding really concerned. Ice’s eyes widen for a second as his ear flattened to the side of his head. “My parents die years ago, when me and Ghost were very young, I can’t remember their names, their faces or the time we spent together, so I don’t really know.” Ice said a little saddened as he looked at the ground, but as anger build up inside because he couldn’t remember. Fluttershy started cowering away as she thought she hit a nerve. “I am sorry… I… I… shouldn’t have said anything… I should have stayed quiet…” Fluttershy continued apologizing at a rapid rate, as she low to the ground and moved away from Ice. Ice looked up from the ground and to Fluttershy. Soon as Ice’s eyes made contact with Fluttershy’s, Fluttershy made a *eep* sound as she dropped to the floor, closed her eyes and put her forelegs over her head. “Please don’t hurt me.” Fluttershy said as she was shaking in fear. Ice felt sadness as he was how terrified she was of him. Ice sighed as walked up to her and laid down next to her. Ice gently put a wing over her. Fluttershy gasped as she felt his wing wrapped around her waist in a gently hug. Fluttershy looked at Ice who looked straight ahead. “I'm not going to hurt you, I'm sorry if I scare you…” Ice looked at Fluttershy. “…and I am not mad at you for the kiss.” Ice said in a gentle tone, trying her calm down and so she was not so scared. Fluttershy blushed she looked away from him. “Ice, can I ask you for something?” Fluttershy said barely a whisper. “Yes, Fluttershy.” Ice asked as he listened. “Ice, can I… um… kiss you, again?” Fluttershy said in a whisper, not able to look at him. Ice looked at Fluttershy in surprise. (Inside Ice’s head) “Well, I don’t see any wrong with it, give her what she wants. It will keep her happy… I hope” Ice thought to himself. (Ice, you are a dumb-ass) “Ok.” Ice informed. Fluttershy looked at Ice surprised at his answer. “W-wh-at?” Fluttershy said blushing deeply. “I said, ok.” Ice informed again. “Ok.” Fluttershy whispered as she moved closer to Ice. “Ok?” Ice replied as he moved closer, as well. Fluttershy closed eyes as her lips meet his. Ice copied her by, closing his eyes and gently lend in to the kiss. Fluttershy let out a small groan in pleasure. After a minute or two, Fluttershy and Ice broke the kiss. Ice and Fluttershy just laid there as enjoying the peace and quiet, until *poof*. Ice looked back at his wings that were out stretched. Ice eyebrows flattened in annoyers, as Fluttershy’s eyes widen as her whole face when crimson as she blushed. *poof* Ice turned to see Fluttershy wings also now stretched. Ice looked towards Fluttershy, and Ice could see that Fluttershy was hiding behind her mane, she had buried her face in to her hoofs and wished she could turn invisible. “Fluttershy?” Ice asked as he sat up. Fluttershy made *eep* sound, as she wished so much she would die from embarrassment. “Miss Fluttershy.” Ice asked again by this time Fluttershy slowly sat up but Fluttershy still continued to hide behind her mane. Ice sighed as he gently bushed Fluttershy’s mane away from her face. Fluttershy tiredly closed her eyes as she felt Ice bush her mane behind her ear. Ice moved his hoof away then Fluttershy face was visible. Ice could clearly see that she was terrified, her head was tilted down with her eyes tiredly closed and her whole body was frozen in fear. “I’ve already told you that, I'm not going to hurt you, Fluttershy can you look at me… please.” Ice said trying to sound as clam as possible. Fluttershy opened her eyes and looked up at him. “I know, but it hard for me.” Fluttershy whispered out. Ice smiled. “Well, it looks like we are going to work around that problem.” Ice said standing up and offering his hoof to her. Fluttershy looked at Ice’s hoof and smiled as she accepted his hoof. Once Fluttershy was back to her feet… or hoofs. Ice spoke up. “So, are we going to try, some of those delicious haycakes.” Ice said gesturing towards the table. “Oh, ok.” Fluttershy said as Ice stood next his chair waiting for her to sit down first. After Fluttershy sat down Ice pulled his chair and sat the other end of the table facing her. “So ladies first.” Ice said remember the one and golden rule that Ghost tort him. (A.K.A she beat it in to him) Fluttershy smiled at him as she picked up a folk with a wing, Ice watched careful how Fluttershy was holding her folk as he tried copying her. With a ton of luck Ice was able to pick up the folk normally and was able to pick a bite size piece, (again a shit ton of luck) he was able to put it in his mouth, without dropping it. After 2 minutes of eating Ice spoke up. “Fluttershy, may I ask you a question?” Ice asked as Fluttershy swallowed her mouthful. “Oh, ok.” Fluttershy said with a smile and an eyebrow raised. “I just want to know, why does my wings go… well… er… stiff?” Ice asked trying to find the right words. Fluttershy went straight to crimson in half a second as her brains windows 7 crashed showing the blue screen of death. (PROBLEM?) “W-wh-hat?” Fluttershy asked unsure if she heard Ice right. “Why do my wings go stiff?” Ice clam repeated himself. Fluttershy had no idea how to explain it… well she did but to so embarrassing. (Inside Fluttershy’s head) “Oh my how do I explain this to him, shouldn’t he know already… but the in forest he could have got amnesia or lost memory or something. How do I explain this?” *sound of a light bulb turning on* “Well I have a book on pony biology, I could show him that… yeah that sound a lot better… than… me… explaining… oh my.” Fluttershy sat there thinking for a few seconds, before she made up her mind. “Ice, how about I show you a book on pony biology.” Fluttershy said very quickly as her face went beet red. Ice just cocked an eyebrow in confusion. “Oh, ok I will take look.” Ice said as ate his last mouthful of his last haycake. After Fluttershy finished her haycakes, Ice quickly spoke up. “Don’t worry, I’ve got it.” Ice said as walked over to Fluttershy and started to pick her plate. “Oh, it’s ok…” Fluttershy started but Ice cut her off. “You have given me a place to sleep and you made breakfast, the least I could is wash up.” Ice said as he looked Fluttershy directly in the eye, showing her that he was not going to take no for an answer. “Oh…um ok… thank you, Ice.” Fluttershy mumbled out as she blushed deeply. As Ice collected the plates with knives and forks, and placed them in the sink, Fluttershy thought it would be a good idea to find the book so started to make her way to the living room. Fluttershy walked out of the kitchen in to her living room. Location: Ponyville market (from Ponyville to S.A.A.) Time: 0817 hours Twilight and Ghost walked through Ponyville as Twilight pointed things out to Ghost like roads to areas of the town, shops and she tells Ghost what they sell. Twilight and Ghost were half way walking through Ponyville’s Market, (the only place in the town that as cobblestone floor) until someone wolf whistles braking Ghost and Twilight form their conisation. Twilight and Ghost turn their heads to see who is was. “Oh, no.” Twilight said in a sad / annoyed tone. Ghost could tell form Twilight’s facial expression and her tone of voice, that these three stallions are bad news or a royal pain in the neck. All three of them were Pegasus an orange one with a brown mane and tail, a brown one with a cream mane and tail, and a gray one with a black mane and tail. “Well hey there sexy flank.” The brown one said looking directly at Ghost. Ghost cocked an eye brow. “Are you talking to me?” Ghost asked with little hint of anger in her voice. Twilight backed away from Ghost in fear of don’t knowing what Ghost would do. “Yeah, we are talking to you sweet cheeks.” The orange one said giving Ghost a wink. Ghost gritted her teeth at the word sweet cheek. “So what’s your name beautiful?” The gray one asked. Ghost so badly wanted kill all three of them. Twilight backed up from Ghost a little more. “Ghost!” Ghost reply through gritted teeth and venom dripping from the word. But sadly the three num skulls didn’t pick up on that. “Ghost, that’s a gorgeous name sweet cheeks.” The gray one said doing a sad attempt trying to woo Ghost. Ghost had heard enough, she raised one of her fore hoofs and slammed it, to the ground making the cobblestone floor crack. The whole market went dead silent. The air thick as everypony eyes looked towards Ghost and the three Pegasus. “Leave, me, alone.” Ghost demanded in a calm and forcefully tone as she glared them down. All three Pegasus looked at each other then back at Ghost. “Well it looks like we got a mare that likes to play rough.” The brown one said to his friends. His friends laughed. “Listen sweet cheeks, you are going to mate with us or else!” The brown one demanded as he and his friends flared their wings and took a step forward. Ghost saw as some kind of pony attack stands. “Ghost you should do what they say.” Twilight whispered to Ghost. Ghost looked at Twilight from the corner of her eye, then she looked back at the three Pegasus. “Fuck no! I am not going to be their sex toy!” Ghost said through gritted teeth. Ghost took a step forward and ready herself for a fight. The brown one smirked and nodded to the gray one. The gray one nodded back then charged at Ghost, and jumped at her in his attempt to grab her. Ghost bitch slapped him with her right hoof, sending him straight in to a market stall. The cart exploded in to 1000’s of splinters form his body impacting on it. The two stallions looked at their friend form where they stood frozen in fear. They slowly turned their heads and looked at Ghost, who was standing there with no emotion present on her face as she slowly put her hoof back on the ground. The brown one mood changed very quickly as he went from fear to angry and glared death at her, as of the orange one was shacking in fear and trying to put on a brave face. “You MOTHER BUCKING BITCH, your goner pay for what you did to Score!” The brown one yelled pointing a hoof at Ghost. “Dumbbell, we should go.” The orange one said. The brown one that Ghost now knows is called Dumbbell, glared at his friend. “NO! Together Hoops we can beat her and make her suffer!” Dumbbell said to Hoops through gritted teeth as he continued to glare death at Ghost. Hoops was unsure at first but soon followed Dumbbell’s lead. Both Dumbbell and Hoops sprinted at Ghost. Ghost smirked as she readied herself. Dumbbell jumped up as he tried to slam his fore hoofs in to Ghost as Hoops tried head butting her. Ghost moved to the side at the last second, dodging both of the attacks. Hoops and Dumbbell both crashed in to each other and landed in a hep on the floor. Ghost gave off an evil smile as she quickly grabbed Hoops’s and Dumbbell’s tails with her teeth. With one quick toss Ghost throw both stallions through the shop window. With a crash and the screams of pain form the stallions as the shards of glass cut their skin and dug in to their flesh, Ghost smiled knowing all too well that the job was done. Ghost turned towards Twilight how was mouth agape staring at her in shock. Ghost looked back at the shop thinking if she should make the stallions in to her personal punching bag, but Ghost shook her head as she turned back towards Twilight. “Can we continue our journey to Sweet Apple Acres?” Ghost asked. Twilight nodded her head slowly as she turned and continued the journey towards Sweet Apple Acres with Ghost following her, leaving the market with everypony there shitting bricks out of fear of Ghost. Location: Fluttershy’s cottage/ Living room Time: 0809 hours Fluttershy looked at her bookcase for a couple of minutes trying to find the book. With a little help from Angel, Fluttershy found it, picked it up with a wing and walked back to the kitchen with Angel. The site in front of them was… drop dead funny. Ice was trying to wash up but he was failing miserably. He kept dropping the sponge, couldn’t get hold of the plates and kept dropping them back in to the water, making the water splash back in to his face getting bubbles in his mane. Fluttershy could help but giggle and as Angel he couldn’t breathe because he laughing so hard. Ice turned around looked at the two laughing away at his misfortune. Ice smirked a little. Once Fluttershy was able to compose herself, she walked over to Ice. “Ice, I think I should wash up.” Fluttershy said give Ice a resurging smile. Ice nodded as Fluttershy gave him a towel and the book. “Sorry, Fluttershy… I guess I'm not cut out for this civilian thing.” Ice said as he put the book on the side and started to his face with the towel. Fluttershy put the plate she was cleaning on the drying-rack and looked at Ice. “It must… be very hard you… to… well, get use to a new environment.” Fluttershy said sounding a little sympathy. (Inside Ice’s head) “You got no idea how close you are Fluttershy.” Ice thought as he finished drying his face and mane. “Yeah, being in the military of so many years, I’ve kinder… forgotten how to be… well, normal. So to speak.” Ice said putting the towel on the side. Fluttershy looked it Ice trying understanding him. “I'm sorry.” Fluttershy whispered as she looked down. “Can we please change the topic?” Ice asked. Fluttershy looked back up him. “Oh ok. Maybe you read the book.” Fluttershy said as she gestured towards the book. Ice looked toward the book then back Fluttershy. “I think that’s, a good idea.” Ice said pick the book off the side and started to head towards the living room. Fluttershy smiled. “Chapter 7, page 56.” Fluttershy said as she continued washing up. Ice stopped and turned towards her. “Ok, thank you. And guessing you have good memory?” Ice said as his Spartan trained mind picked up how Fluttershy could memorise that specific page number. Fluttershy stopped suddenly like a dear stuck in head-lights. She turned head towards Ice. Ice could see that fear and confusion as written on her face. “Yes… I have… excitant… memory, is that…bad.” Fluttershy asked cowering away a bit. Ice shook his head. “No it’s not bad. I was complementing you Fluttershy.” Ice said as he smiled and as an eyebrow rose. Straight away Fluttershy felt really sheepish and as she blushed badly. “Oh… thank you.” Fluttershy said as her face continued to blushing. Ice nodded and walked back the living room as Fluttershy when back to washing up. Location: The path to Sweet Apple Acres (from Ponyville to S.A.A.) Time: 0826 hours Ghost and Twilight’s walk to Sweet Apple Acres was uneventful after all that had happened in Ponyville. Twilight continued walking with a very pissed off Ghost walking behind her. Twilight made sure not to said anything because the look on Ghost’s face more or less said *one word and I will murder your whole family*. So Twilight kept her mouth shut. Then Twilight and Ghost made it to Sweet Apple Acres, Twilight gulped before speaking up. “Well… here we are… Sweet Apple Acres.” Twilight said to a half whisper as she pointed at the overhead sign. Ghost looked up to were Twilight was pointing and as Twilight said the sign read *welcome to Sweet Apple Acres*. Ghost looked at Twilight and was the fear in Twilight’s face hidden behind a fake smile. Ghost sighed as she looked towards the ground. “Twilight, you don’t have to be afraid of me.” Ghost said as she started to calm down. “Sorry, Ghost but what you told Spike last night about what you are and what can do, I'm just little worried. You know about making you up set.” Twilight said as she rubbed her foreleg and blushed in embarrassment. Ghost started laughing. “You think that super soldier with years of training wouldn’t be trained to restrain ourselves from hurting civilians." Ghost said as she continued laughing. Twilight stood there dumfounded for a few seconds before she face-hoofed. Ghost continued laughing as Twilight removed her hoof from her face. “But, what about Hoops, Dumbbell and Score?” Twilight asked in shock as she pointed towards Ponyville. Ghost stopped laughing but still had a large smile on her. “Form the way you acted around them and every other mare the market, plus the books I read at the library. I know that if a male wants to fuck a mare he fucks a mare one way or another. Ever that be wooing them or forcing them. So I beat the living carp out of them, so they will get the message that I'm not available.” Ghost said with a smirk. “Ghost, that… well… I… err.” Twilight tried saying something but she was completely lost of words. Ghost laughed at Twilight’s dumbfounded expression. Soon Twilight joined in started laughing with Ghost. After a minute both Ghost and Twilight laughter died down, but both of kept a smile on their faces. “Well that has made my day, so should go and find Applejack?” Ghost said jested with a hoof toward the apple orchard. Twilight smiled as she nodded a yes and took the lead as they made their way towards the big red barn. Location: The path to Sweet Apple Acres (from Fluttershy’s cottage to S.A.A.) Time: 0834 hours Fluttershy and Ice walked in dead silent but with the occasional gallants at each other. Fluttershy walked a little ahead of Ice as she led the way as a very flustered, annoyed and confused Ice walked behind, off to her left. Fluttershy swayed her hips hoping to get Ice attention. Ice had to constantly pull his eyes away from Fluttershy’s rump to look at the path. (Inside Ice’s head) “FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCKKKKKKKKKK! This is fucking bullshit, she deliberately shaking her… FUCKING WINGS! Why does this shit always happen to me?” Ice mentally cursed as his wings shot out fully erected. Fluttershy looked behind her to Ice looking at his wings and trying to fold his wings back down. Fluttershy smiled. (Inside Fluttershy’s head) “Well, it good that gets his attention plus he could find me attractive.” Fluttershy thought to herself as she smiled knowing her adepts of wooing Ice, could be working but then again it could be her after heat period talking over. Fluttershy looked towards the path as Ice followed behind still trying to get his wings under control. After a few second later, Ice got his wings under control then looked at Fluttershy. 4 minutes of walking later Fluttershy and Ice had made it to the front an overhead sign that read *welcome to Sweet Apple Acres*. “Well here we are.” Fluttershy said as pointed at the over-head sign. Ice looked up to the sign then back to Fluttershy. “Ok, were would Applejack be?” Ice asked as he looked around and saw how large the orchard was. “Oh Applejack is probably at the barn.” Fluttershy said pointing a hoof towards the red barn off in the distant. Ice nodded as Fluttershy took the lead again. Location: Sweet Apple Acres / outside the barn Time: 0829 hours Ghost stood front for the barn as she looked it over. The damage Twilight spook of was bad. There was large burn marks all over it, form what Ghost could tell the barn’s metal roof and the barn being on a high hill, with these adding to together equalled that the barn was a high lightning target. Ghost looked at the damage more closely, she could see that the metal roof had melted form were the lightning bolts hit, and the metal round it was chard and cracked. The wooden walls had cracked and splintered form the force of the lightning bolts. In some points Ghost could see that some areas had court fire. Ghost continued looking at the damage as she started walking round the barn taking every detail. (Over with the girls) Twilight, Applejack, Rainbow Dash and Rarity were all in a huddle talking as Pinkie was just hopping around the group for no reason. “So Twilight, did Ghost really beat up Hoops, Dumbbell and Score single hoofed?” Rainbow asked Twilight as Rainbow’s eye darted back to Ghost then back to Twilight. Twilight nodded her head. “Yes she did, but she moved so fast and she was so strong. I mean Ghost back hoofed (aka bitch-slap) Score sending a full grown stallion straight in to a cart, like if it was nothing. And there’s also the fact she tossed Dumbbell and Hoops through and shop window.” Twilight said looking a little worried. Rarity looked over at Ghost then back to the others. “I must said, Ghost dose have a lot of muscles of a mare her size.” Rarity said as she looked at Applejack and Rainbow Dash. “Come to think of it I think Ghost as more muscles that Applejack and Rainbow Dash combined.” Rarity said as she put a hoof to her chin. Rainbow scalowed at Rarity as Applejack looked at Ghost. “I guess your right Rarity.” Applejack said as looked at Ghost and seeing the layers and layers of muscles Ghost has on her. Rainbow looked at Applejack like if she had gone crazy. “How could you said that Applejack. I bet 50 bits that I could beat Ghost in an Iron Pony competition.” Rainbow said she puffed out her chest proudly. Applejack was going to protest back but Pinkie cut her off. “Hi Fluttershy. Hi Ice.” Pinkie yelled and waved as she saw the two make their way to the group. Twilight, Rarity, Applejack, Rainbow and Ghost turned towards Fluttershy and Ice. Ghost walked over to the group as Fluttershy and Ice joined the others. “Ghost.” Ice said with nod towards Ghost. “Ice.” Ghost said back with as she nodded her head once towards him. Ghost turned her head towards Fluttershy and smiled. “Morning, Fluttershy. I hope my brother was not too much trouble.” Ghost said with a smirk. Ice glared at Ghost as Fluttershy blushed. “N-no he wasn’t. He was the nicest stallion I’ve met.” Fluttershy said looking down, as she made little circles in the dirt with the tip of her hoof. Ghost looked at Ice and smirked at him as Ice’s wings shot out. Ghost, Pinkie and Rainbow started snickering, as Twilight and Fluttershy blushed, as Rarity and Applejack gave Ice questionable looks but for poor Ice was starting to run out of curse words that he could mentally scream. “Not a word.” Ice said through gritted teeth glaring at Ghost. Ghost burst out laughing as Rainbow and Pinkie soon followed braking out in to uncontrollable laughing fits of their own. Ice glared death at them as he started to walk to an apple tree and smacked his face against it once. All the girls cringe a bit as Ice’s wings fell flat and as he tucked them to his sides. “Well that’s one way to kill a wing-boner.” Rainbow said as she still had hold of her ribs form the laughing fit as Ice rejoined the group. Applejack cleaned her throat, making everyone look towards her. “I think we could the fun and games for now and get to work tearing down this barn.” Applejack said as she jested towards the burn with her head. Twilight, Rarity, Pinkie, Rainbow, Fluttershy, Ice and Ghost nodded they heads in unison. “Applejack do you mind me asking but what are you going to do with the wood form the old barn?” Ghost asked Applejack. Applejack gave Ghost a smile. “Well, are going to use the wood as just spare wood or fire wood, more or less.” Applejack said informing Ghost. “So it doesn’t matter if the wood was just splinters.” Ghost asked. Applejack shook her head. “Ok, Ice.” Ghost said as she looked towards him as she started walking towards the barn. Ice just nodded and started walking as he followed Ghost. Ice and Ghost stopped a good 30 meters away from the front of the barn. “I would stand back if I was you.” Ghost said as looked at the girls. Everyone gave Ghost confused looks as tried it work out what was happening. Ghost pointed a hoof at the barn as Ice nodded. Ice positioned himself at the barn’s entrance and bent down slightly, before breaking into sprint towards the wooden building. Twilight: “WHAT ARE YOU DOING?” Applejack: “STOP, DOING WHAT YOU ARE DOING!” Rarity: “YOUR GOING TO HURT YOURSELF!” Rainbow: “How fast is he going?” Pinkie: “LOOK AT HIM GO!” Fluttershy: “ICE!” Both Ghost and Ice ignored the confused cried of the girls, and by the time Ice reached the barn he was running at over 50 kilometres per hour. Needless to say, he burst through the wooden wall like it was paper. Shards of wood flew in every direction as he redirected himself to hit the right side load bearing portions of the architecture and smashed out back then making a u-turn he smashed through the back side and hit the left side load bearing portions. Bit by bit, the interior of the barn became covered with shattered wood as Ice continued to tear it apart. The building groaned in protest before collapsing in on itself as Ice just made it out of the barn’s entrance in time as the barn crashed down behind him. The girls could only stare in horror as the barn fell with a crash. Shielding their eyes from the cloud of dust that rose from the ceiling’s impact, and the sound of coughing from the girls that inhaled some of the dust. After rubbing their teary eyes, they looked upon the pile of red and white timber that had once been her barn. Spear-like, shattered two by fours jutted dangerously from the pile, and the western wall, which astoundingly had still managed to stay up, finally fell on top of the pile of rubble from lack of support. Once the final portion of the barn had fallen, a silence permeated across the farm stead. The only noise that could be heard was the ruffling of nearby leaves in the wind, the flapping sound of Rainbow’s wings and the windmill which squeaked every time it rotated. It was like that for a couple of seconds before a *Thud* sound was made as Fluttershy fainted. “Ok, barn down. So Applejack where do you what the wood scraps.” Ghost said looking at Applejack as she jested towards the barn with a hoof. Ice started dusting himself off, trying to get all the splinters out of his mane and tail. The Girls only continued to stare at Ghost and Ice in horror. Ghost looked at Ice with a confused look, as Ice just shrugged as he continued pulling bit of wood from his feathers. Ghost looked back at the girls. This continued of a minute or two. “WHAT IN CELESTIA’S NAME WERE YOU THINKING?” Twilight yelled breaking the silence. Ghost and Ice were taken aback from Twilight’s outburst. The rest of the main six snapped out of their little traces and jumped back form Twilight. Twilight looked around and saw that everypony had their eyes fixed on her and blushed a little form her little outburst. Ghost looked over at the pile of wood at was a barn then back to the group. “I think we over did it, Ice.” Ghost Said looking at Ice. Ice gave off an awkward smiled as he rubbed the back of his head with a hoof. “Maybe I should have used an axe.” Ice said as he walked over the pile of wood then he pointed at Fluttershy. “And also as none of you girl noticed that Fluttershy as fainted.” Ice finished lowering his hoof. The girls looked behind them at Fluttershy. “Rarity can you take Fluttershy inside and check if she ok.” Twilight said to Rarity nodded as she gently picked Fluttershy unconscious body up in her magic and made her way to the house. Everyone watched as Fluttershy and Rarity headed towards the Apple family’s home. After a minute or two, Applejack cleared her throat making everyone look towards her. “I think should start moving what’s is left of the barn and put it next to the storage house.” Applejack said informing everyone. Ghost, Ice, Rainbow and Pinkie nodded as Twilight looked back towards the house that Rarity took Fluttershy to, but Twilight nodded her head knowing that Fluttershy was in good hoofs. “Ok Applejack where is this storage house?” Ghost asked as she walked over to the pile wood. As Ice picked up several large and heavy pieces of wood and put on his back. “It’s in the west field next to the corn field.” Applejack said as she started walking over to the pile. Ghost looked towards the corn field off in the distant about 300 to 350 meters away or so and saw a large dark brown building next to the corn field. Ghost didn’t mind, she knew that herself and Ice could easily carry 4 or 5 tons if they needed to (Hell they can flip a Fucking Scorpion Tank) so to her and Ice this was too easy. It was going to be a long day ahead for Ghost, Ice, Twilight, Applejack, Rainbow Dash and Pinkie. Location: Sweet Apple Acres / Inside the Apple family’s home / living room. Time: 1357 hours “Like another tea dearly?” Granny Smith called to Rarity form the kitchen as she continued make Apple pies to sell at the market. Granny Smith was an elderly grass green, earth pony with a gray mane and tail. “Oh, no thank you!” Rarity called back from the living room as she watched over Fluttershy waiting for her to wake up. Rarity sighed as she looked towards the old grandfather that sat at the opposite end of the room. “It has been 7 ½ hours. Bless the stars it has been that long.” Rarity said to herself, finely looked at the clock and forgetting the dress designs that she had been drawing in her little A5 sketch pad that she always carried around with her. Rarity looked back at Fluttershy who was still asleep. Rarity stood up form were she was sitting and walked over to the window. Rarity could just see the front, back and the east wall of the barn was complete and the west side wall was being nailed on to the wooden Skelton plank by plank, with red coloured planks of wood. Rarity sighed as she felt guilty of not being out there helping build the barn but she to make sure that Fluttershy was right. The groaning sound made Rarity look back behind her to see that Fluttershy was slowly waking up. Rarity made her way over Fluttershy as slowly opened her eyes. When Fluttershy open her eyes to see Rarity. “Oh Fluttershy darling, you’re finely awake.” Rarity said as she gently put a hoof on Fluttershy’s solder. “Rarity... what happened? And why does my head hurt?” Fluttershy asked as she was very confused. Rarity moved her hoof away as Fluttershy sat up. Fluttershy groaned again as she rubbed the side of her head. “Well darling you kinder fainted and I’m guessing you hit your head when you fainted.” Rarity said as she gave Fluttershy a sheepish smile. “Oh ok… so what happened?” Fluttershy asked as she tried to think through the headache she had. “Well Ice ran through the barn and destroyed it and then you fainted. From there I took you inside were me and Granny Smith have watched over you, waiting for you to wake up.” Rarity said as Granny Smith walked in. “Well it good to see you young’en.” Granny Smith said as walked over to Fluttershy and Rarity. “Oh sorry, Granny Smith I didn’t mean to be a burden.” Fluttershy said to Granny Smith as she continued wishing the headache would go away. “It’s nothing.” Granny Smith said as she waved a hoof off dismisfully. Fluttershy smiled a little as her head continued pounding. Rarity sat down next to Fluttershy on the sofa as Granny Smith gave Fluttershy a questioning look. “Is there something on your mind dearly?” Granny Smith asked Fluttershy as Granny Smith put a hoof to her chin trying to work it out herself. Fluttershy’s eyes widen a little as was hoping that she wouldn’t find out her crush on Ice. “Oh no… n-nothing is on my m-mind.” Fluttershy said in a panicked tone as she gave a sheepish smile but on the plus side Fluttershy no longer had a headache. (Thank you law-breaking cartoon physics) “Fluttershy are you sure you are ok?” Rarity asked noticing Fluttershy panicked tone and the worried look on her face. “If there’s something wrong dearly, you really talk to somepony about it.” Granny Smith said as she rested a hoof on Fluttershy’s solder. Fluttershy looked down at the floor with a downcast look on her face as Granny Smith continued. “It not healthy to keep it bottled up young’en.” Granny Smith finished with a gently smile. Fluttershy looked up at Granny Smith knowing all too well that she was right. Granny Smith removed her hoof and took a step back. “Don’t worry Fluttershy, I’m sure I can help you in any way I can.” Rarity said as she smiled. Fluttershy looked over at Rarity and saw Rarity giving her an encouraging smile, showing her that Rarity is here to help. Talking in a deep breath Fluttershy readied herself. “I think… I’m… in love… with… I-I-Ice.” Fluttershy whispered out as she hid her bright red face with her mane. Granny Smith and Rarity blinded one as in they had no idea what Fluttershy said. “Fluttershy can please say that again and a little louder.” Rarity asked as calmly as she could. Fluttershy took another deep breath. “I think I’m in love with Ice.” Fluttershy whispered out again as she continued to hind behind her mane. Granny Smith and Rarity blinded again as they had no idea what the heck Fluttershy saying. “Can you please repeat that dearly?” Granny Smith asked with a gently smile. Fluttershy again took another deep breath but instead of being calm about it Fluttershy panicked. “I THINK I’M IN LOVE WITH ICE!” Fluttershy blurted out, only wanting to get it over and done with. The room was silence of a couple of seconds, until it was broken by three fillies. Sweetie bell: “YAY! Fluttershy, as a special somepony.” Scootaloo: “Gross.” Applebloom: “Scootaloo!” Rarity, Granny Smith and Fluttershy whipped their heads towards the living room door to see three fillies Applebloom, Sweetie Bell and Scootaloo standing there in the doorway, but it was not them that Fluttershy and Rarity were worried about. It was the pony behind the fillies. Ghost just stood there of a few seconds as what Fluttershy just said hit her. Soon as Ghost brain was able to confirm of what has heard, Ghost’s shocked expression quickly turned in to a deadly glare. “Girls, can you go upstairs.” Ghost asked the three fillies as she continued glaring at Fluttershy. The girls looked at Ghost. “Do we have to?” Sweetie Bell asked giving big puppy eyes. Ghost looked down at the trio. “Yes, now please go.” Ghost said in a firm tone. All three fillies sadly looked down a little as Sweetie Bell’s deadly puppy eye trick had no affect on Ghost. “Ok.” All three of them said in unison as they started to walk to the stairs. Rarity glared at Ghost at the way Ghost spoke to the fillies and was about to say something but Ghost spoke first. “But if you girls don’t ears-drop I will help you find your cutie… marks?” Ghost said putting on a smile as she struggled to remember what a cutie mark is. “YAY!” The trio yelled in unison as they ran up the stairs. So Ghost was sure the girls were up stairs, Ghost turned her attention towards the mares in the living room. Granny Smith gave Ghost an understand nod and started to walk out of the living room. “I’ll make sure the little young’ens don’t hear anything.” Granny Smith said as she walked past Ghost. “Thank you ma’am.” Ghost said with a nod. Granny Smith smiled as she headed towards the stairs. Ghost turned back towards Fluttershy and Rarity. Fluttershy was cowering away, shaking in fear and Rarity was giving Ghost a questioning and angry glare. Ghost let out a sigh. “Fluttershy we need to talk.” Ghost said as she walked in to the room. Rarity watched Ghost, as she sat down next to Fluttershy on the sofa. (Inside Rarity’s head) “Ghost is being firm but at the same time calm? Maybe I should stay out of this but I must see were Ghost is going with this.” Rarity thought to herself as she sat in the in the armchair across the room. Fluttershy looked up at Ghost and was her sitting on the sofa and Ghost was not looking at her, just stared off at the other side of the room, being very calm about the whole thing. “Fluttershy I'm not mad or angry, I'm just surprised that all and not really know to react to is.” Ghost said as she continued looking at the wall. Fluttershy slowly started stop shaking and listen to Ghost. “Look my brother is all the family I have left, and I will do anything to keep him alive.” Ghost finished as she looked directly at Fluttershy. Fluttershy looked up at only feeling the sadness in Ghost’s eyes. “And I’m guessing that Ice didn’t tell you about us… as in not form this world or planet.” Ghost said as she gestured to the world around her with a hoof. Fluttershy sat up and looked completely confused. “No.” Fluttershy answered as she tiled her head to side and an eyebrow rose. Ghost very quickly told Fluttershy about humanity, the Covenant, the war, the Spartan program, how she and Ice got to Equestria and that she also told the others about it. “… and you know the rest.” Ghost finished looking directly at Fluttershy. Fluttershy had tears running down her cheeks as she tried not to imagine all the pain and suffering that Ice and Ghost have gone through. “Rarity… is t-this… t-truth?” Fluttershy asked as started sobbing. Rarity wiped a tear away from her eye before answering. “Yes Fluttershy, its all truth. Applejack confirmed this yesterday.” Rarity said as she looked directly at Fluttershy. Fluttershy continued sobbing as Ghost putted her in to a hug. “I'm-m-m… so… s-s-s-sorry, G-Ghost. S-S-So sorry-y-y.” Fluttershy was just able to make out as she continued sobbing to in Ghost’s solder. “It’s ok. It’s ok.” Ghost said in a clam tone as she gently patted Fluttershy’s back. Fluttershy pulled away, baking the hug and looked at Ghost directly in to her eyes. “How can it be ok? You and Ice lost your home, your family, everything to those monsters.” Fluttershy said as the tears continued to fall down her cheeks. “Because the past is in the past. No-one can go back in time change that.” Ghost said as she looked out the window towards the barn seeing Ice and the others talking to each other, as all of them looked at the barn, and it looked like Twilight was telling everyone a plan of how get the roof on. Fluttershy looked down at the floor. “I guess your right.” Fluttershy said as she wiped her tears away. Ghost just nodded her head as she looked back towards Fluttershy. It was silence of a couple of a minute or two, until Ghost broke the silence. “So how did you fall for Ice?” Ghost asked Fluttershy with a smirk. Fluttershy blushed deeply as she tried not to look Ghost in the eyes. Rarity moved forward a little on the armchair as her interest peaked a little, as Rarity loved a bit of gossip. “Well… it… umm… started yesterday… er… I mean it happened… when we found you and Ice.” Fluttershy said as she started to get very, very flustered at the conisation but Fluttershy continued. “Well… umm… Ice is a handsome stallion, and that I was also on the last day of my heat cycle, so that… Ghost do you know what a heat cycle is?” Fluttershy asked Ghost as Fluttershy remembered that Ghost is not this world and would probability not know what a heat cycle is. “Yes, I know what a cycle is, and before you ask I learnt it by reading some books at Twilight’s library this morning.” Ghost said with a smirk. “Well you know what a heat cycle is but you probability don’t know what it does to a mare’s emotions. So what do you know and I will try to fill some of the gaps.” Rarity said willing to help inform Ghost. “Rarity, I have some idea, like the fact that heat last two weeks, these also a one week “after heat” period, when a mare is in heat, her hormons levels are increst by 80% making the mare have sex on the brain for all 3 weeks but the after heat period is not so bad as the first 2 weeks.” Ghost said as she tried to recall all the information she could form the Twilight’s books. “Yes that right but Ghost you see a lot of mares can ignore their after heat but some mares like Fluttershy still continue to have their emotions run wild, until the after heat ends.” Rarity said as Ghost looked towards Fluttershy. Fluttershy looked down trying to hind, her blush form Ghost as she nervously tapped her front hoofs together. “So Fluttershy you are on your after heat period then?” Ghost asked as Fluttershy just nodded a yes. Ghost looked back at Rarity. “So are you and the others on your after heat period?” Ghost asked as she rubbed the back of her head with a hoof. “Well no, me and the others after heat finished yesterday.” Rarity informed Ghost. Ghost had a confused look on her face. “So why is Fluttershy on her after heat if heat season is finished?” Ghost asked as she looked at Fluttershy. Fluttershy blushed as looked up towards Ghost. “Well… I’m a… week late bloomer.” Fluttershy whispered. Ghost put the pieces together and just smiled. “Well that would explain so much.” Ghost said with a sigh of relief. “Yes Fluttershy dearly is in her after heat period, so Fluttershy will have trouble to think clearly, so in other words Fluttershy’s little church is doubled to full love for Ice.” Rarity said add on more information. “Well to tell you the truth, I really don’t mind.” Ghost said as she gave Fluttershy and Rarity a smile. “Really you don’t mind me loving Ice?” Fluttershy asked as her sprits lifted. Rarity looked at Ghost with a kind and gently smile across her lips. “Well, I do what the best for my brother and you have your heart set on him. So I'm not going to stop you from finding happiness and it mind make my brother happy as well.” Ghost said looking directly at Fluttershy. Fluttershy was so filled with quickly gave Ghost a bone churching bear hug. “Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.” Fluttershy said as she continued hugged in happiness. Ghost just smiled as Fluttershy continued hugging Ghost. It was like this for several seconds before Ghost spoke up. “Fluttershy you can let go now.” Ghost said as Fluttershy just realised what she was doing. “I'm so sorry Ghost.” Fluttershy said as she relisted Ghost backed a good meter away form her. “It’s ok Fluttershy. Anyway Rarity are you ok with this?” Ghost asked Rarity. “I will support Fluttershy who ever she falls for.” Rarity said putting a hoof to her chest as if she was making an oath. Fluttershy swilled in pure happiness as she so glad to have such supporting friends. “So should we head out to the others?” Ghost asked as she looked back to the others who just finished putting on the roof. Both Rarity and Fluttershy nodded as they made their way to the front door. Location: Sweet Apple Acres / outside the barn Time: 1459 hours “Ok that’s the last nail.” Rainbow called down from the roof, as she and Ice just finished nailing on the last metal sheet. “Ok, can both clean up any extra pieces of metal sheets and nails, then come down here?” Applejack called up to them. “Roger that.” Ice called down as he started putting the extra nails back in to the box. As Rainbow and Ice continued working in silence, until Rainbow spoke up. “So Ice. I know we haven’t spoken much senes we first found you and Ghost, I would like hang out to get to know each other a little better.” Rainbow asked as she struggled to get the words out. Ice looked up Rainbow with a *What The Fuck* look on his face. “Are you hitting on me?” Ice asked with an eyebrow raised. “What, no! I’m just trying to be friendly.” Rainbow said with glare and with a small blush on her cheeks. “Oh, sorry. Maybe in the future you should word your sentences better, so it didn’t sound like a pick up line.” Ice said giving Rainbow a smirk. Rainbow continued to glare at Ice for few more seconds and then she laughed a little bit. “Good one.” Rainbow said with a bit of sarcasm. Ice just rolled his eyes as he went back to put nails away. “So, do you what to hang out some time.” Rainbow said with a friendly smile. Ice looked back up to Rainbow. “Sure, I don’t see why not.” Ice said with a smile. “Ok, thank you.” Rainbow said with a nod of her head and a flap of her wings, as she got back to work. A minute later Ice and Rainbow had finished cleaning the roof and few back to the ground, with Rainbow carrying all the boxes of nails and the all the tools, as Ice carried the extra pieces of metal sheets down with him. Rainbow landed with grace and for Ice he landed with… *Thud* …on his face. “Fuck.” Ice muttered in to the dirt. Rainbow looked over to Ice to see him spread out like a star fish, with his face in bedded in to the dirt. Rainbow started laughing at Ice’s misfortune. “You know that, you are sirpost to use your wings.” Rainbow said through her laughter. But Rainbow stopped when she noticed something off. “Ice weren’t you carrying 5 sheets of…” but Rainbow was cut off as the 5th sheet of metal landed on Ice with a *SLAM*, leaving a star fish indent of a Pegas. “Fuck hell!” Ice muttered in to dirt and form under the sheet of metal. Rainbow lifted the sheet off of Ice. Once the sheet of metal was off of Ice, Rainbow could clearly see that Ice was pissed off. “That looked painful.” Ghost yelled as she came running over with Fluttershy and Rarity to the left and right of her. Once Ghost, Fluttershy and Rarity where there, Fluttershy went straight to Ice’s side. “Are hurt Ice?” Fluttershy said has she nuzzled his neck. Ice blushed form the attention. “I'm ok. Just give me second.” Ice said calmly as he slowly stood up as Fluttershy and Ghost helped him up. Once Ice was up he stretched his aching back making his spine crack and pop all the girls cringe a bit, minis Ghost. “You, ok bro?” Ghost asked as she looked Ice over trying to see if there were any visible injuries. “I'm fine, just a bit sore.” Ice said looking at Ghost as she gave nod in understanding. “I'm so glad that you are alright.” Fluttershy said as she nuzzled in to Ice’s chest, making Ice blush badly. Ghost coughed in to her hoof making Fluttershy back up away from Ice with a deep blush on her face. Ice just stood there for a few seconds before shaking his head quickly get him out of his little trans. “Sorry.” Fluttershy whispered as she looked away from Ice and looked towards Ghost. “Am I missing something here?” Rainbow asked as looked back and forth between Ice and Fluttershy. Rarity looked to the side as Applejack, Pinkie and Twilight came round the corner to see what was that sound was. “What happened?” Twilight asked as she looked at everypony. “Everything is fine now Twilight, Ice just forgot to use is wings.” Ghost said as she gestured towards Ice with a hoof. Ice glared at Ghost and gave Ghost the middle feather. (It’s like the middle finger but using a wing nistened) “And he landed on his face.” Rainbow said with a snicker. Ice looked at Rainbow and glared at her as well. “Then, that sheet of metal landed on him.” Ghost said as she pointed at the piece of metal with a star fish indent of Ice on it. “I'm standing right here you know.” Ice said in annoyed tone as he looked at Ghost and Rainbow with a glare. But Rainbow and Ghost ignored him as Ghost looked at the piece of metal and burst out laughing as a few for the girls giggled as well. “A work of modern art.” Ghost said she wiped a tear away from her eye, form laughing to hard. Ice just glared death at Ghost. As Fluttershy frowned a little bit at Ghost and Rainbow for how they are treating Ice. Ghost walked up to Ice and put a fore leg around back of Ice’s neck. “Don’t worry Ice, you know that I'm always joking.” Ghost said as she gave Ice’s smirk. Ice just rolled his eyes as Ghost removed her foreleg. “Well with have all sorted out and with the barn finished.” Applejack said getting everyponys attention. Once everypony had looked towards Applejack, she continued. “I think that we all need a well deserved break. About I wipe us up some apple pies.” Applejack finished with a smile. All the girls nodded and as for Ice and Ghost how looked confused. “What’s an Apple pie?” Ghost asked with an eyebrow raised. The girls looked back at Ghost and Ice, with confused and shock. “You two don’t know what an Apple pie is?” Twilight asked them both. Ice and Ghost just shook their heads. Pinkie Pie gasped as she jumped in to the air. “You have never had Apple Pie, how could you not have had Apple Pie?” Pinkie said as if it was impossible to live without Apple Pie. “Well we had bigger problems like the Covenant trying to wipe out all of Humanity.” Ghost said with glare. Pinkie cowered back a little as she remember of the world Ice and Ghost had come from. “Sorry.” Pinkie said as the others girls soon looked a little a depressed but how knew that Ice and Ghost had a job to fight and protect, so they really had no time to enjoy life. “What? You told them?” Ice asked as he looked at Ghost with a glare. Ghost looked back at Ice with a glare of her own. “Yes, I did. I need to make sure if they were Covenant or not.” Ghost said as she glared at Ice. Ghost and Ice glared at each other for a few seconds as they gridded their teeth. “Fine.” Ice said after a minute had pasted. “Ok.” Ghost said as she and Ice looked over to the girls. “It was properly a good idea in the end.” Ice said as his facial expression softened. “Can we try some of this Apple Pie?” Ghost asked as she gave a happy smile. Applejack nodded as the rest of the girl seems to perk up a bit. Location: Sweet Apple Acres / front gate. Time: 1747 hours After the Mane 6, Ghost and Ice had eaten several Apple Pies. (Well Ghost and Ice plus Pinkie had several whole Pies.) The girls decided to go to Twilight’s house for a little of relaxation. With Twilight in front and with Ghost off to her right, Rarity off to the left. Behind Ghost was Applejack and behind Rarity was Pinkie happy hopping along. At the back of the group was Ice and Fluttershy walking side by side, more like Fluttershy walking close to Ice. And of course Rainbow was hovering above the group. “How?” Twilight asked the two Spartans. Ghost just looked back towards Ice as just shrugged. Ghost looked back at Twilight. “Well let’s just say that me and Ice have found a favourite treat.” Ghost said giving Twilight a shrug. “But how can both eat five whole Apple Pies each?” Twilight said as if was impossible. (Pinkie Pie does not count, because she can already eat all of Sweet Apple Acres if she wished.) “I'm just glad that you and your brother enjoyed them.” Applejack said as she felt proud of her baking skills. “Well I feel guilty for not helping to clear up.” Ice said looking down at the ground. Applejack shook her head. “Nope. For what you and Ghost have been through, both deserve a break.” Applejack said looked back at Ice as he looked up at her. “What, do you mean?” Ice asked with an eyebrow cocked. “Oh come on, you and Ghost, have been fighting a war for how long?” Rainbow asked as she continued backwards to look at Ice. “We joined the Spartan program 17 years ago.” Ghost informed. Ice glared at Ghost. “These no point of getting angry Ice, for all we know are old bodies could have been destroyed. And what use we to the UNSC if we can’t kill Covenant?” Ghost said looking back at Ice. Ice just let out a sigh and nodded his head in understanding. “When we first saw action I was only 15 and Ice was 17, both of us weren’t even full adults. But we had a job to do.” Ghost said as she held her head high. The girls just gasped. “You weren’t even full adults, and you sent to fight… that… that…” Rarity said trying to find the words. “War.” Ice said calmly. “How… can… say that… so… calmly…?” Fluttershy asked as her ears flattened to the side of head and as tears started building up in the corners of her eyes. “We are used to it.” Ice said it as a fact. The group walked in silent for a few minutes, before Twilight asked a question. “How old do humans have to be classed as adults.” Twilight asked looking back at Ghost. “18 years old.” Ghost said with a small smile. “So what did both look like?” Twilight asked trying to make conversation. Ghost and Ice looked at each other then back to Twilight. “Well me and Ice stood on two legs and we had two arms.” Ghost informed Twilight. “So like Spike?” Pinkie asked as she continued hopping along with the group. “Well yeah, but we are much taller.” Ice added. “How much taller?” Rainbow asked as if she was trying to see if fight against them and win. “Twilight what do you use for measuring?” Ghost asked. Twilight smiled and answered. “We use miller meters, then centre-meters, then meters, then…” Twilight started to rant but Ice cut her off with a cough. “Sorry.” Twilight said with a blush. “Well me and Ice stand roughly 2.70 meters tall. Well Ice is 2.75 meters tall, I just little bit shorter then Ice because me being female.” Ghost said remember back to when she was Human. All the girls, gasped and when wide eyed at hearing that. All of them looked at Ghost or Ice completely shocked by the news but they all continued walking as a group. “I will draw a picture if you like Twilight.” Ice added from the back. “Oh, yes please.” Twilight replied back as nodded her head. “It would be nice to see what you two looked like.” Rarity said trying to picture Ice and Ghost, being 3 meter tall and biped. After that the walk was quiet of a few minutes, with the sound of their hoof clopping along the ground. “So what was your armour like?” Rainbow asked out of the blue. Ice and Ghost looked towards Rainbow and then to each other, as if they were silently talking to each other. Ghost shook her head. “We can’t tell you about the armour because it is classified.” Ice said as Ghost looked back towards the front. “Aww, come on.” Rainbow wined, as Fluttershy spoke up. “Rainbow, they don’t have to tell us if they don’t what to.” Fluttershy said as she looked towards Ghost. Ghost looked back at Fluttershy and gave Fluttershy a small smile in thanks. Rainbow saw this and spoke up. “Fluttershy why are you acting like, if Ghost is the alpha female?” Rainbow said looking that Fluttershy with a confused. The whole group stopped dead and everypony looked towards Rainbow. “What?” Ice asked as his brain just did a back flip. Fluttershy blushed and backed away from Ice. “Ice, we to talk.” Ghost said looking at Ice. “And Twilight, Pinkie, Applejack and Rainbow, you lot need to hear this.” Ghost said looking towards the others but when Ghost looked towards Fluttershy she could see Fluttershy shaking her head and mouthing the words “Please no”. “Sorry Fluttershy, but it would be better if they all hear it now, before they get the wrong idea.” Ghost said in a clam voice. Fluttershy was terrified but nodded her head in understanding. Ghost explained to Ice and the rest of the girls, about Fluttershy and her condensation. The girls nodded in understanding but Ice said nothing, did nothing and showed no emotion. “Well, that explains a lot.” Rainbow said looking towards Fluttershy. Fluttershy just cowered on the floor with her hoofs covering her face. “Fluttershy, why didn’t you tell us?” Twilight asked calmly as she put a hoof on Fluttershy’s solder, trying to calm her down. “I was afraid.” Fluttershy whispered out. Ice looked towards Fluttershy. “Who were you afraid of?” Ice asked calmly. Fluttershy removed one of her hoofs to look to Ice. Fluttershy answered in a whisper, the one word Ice never wanted to hear. “You.”
