//------------------------------// // Crash // Story: A Broken Wing // by TheCrazyAsian //------------------------------// WARNING: 2nd Person COLTCUDDLING, so if that isn't your cup of tea I suggest that you go back and read something out. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!! Chapter One: Crash You wake up and it's about 7:20 in the morning, a little earlier than usual, but it doesn't matter. Waking up earlier means more time awake with your special somepony, even if he's still asleep. His gold and amber mane is tangled and messy and he's kicking his legs in his dream, it makes you smile just seeing it. You couldn't imagine spending your life with anypony else. The way he makes you feel is indescribable. You stop looking at him for a moment and take in your surroundings, tonight you're at his place. Wooden floor, simple furniture, and two windows on the left side of the room. Light's already starting to shine in through the windows and it beams directly onto his mane. It seems to glisten in the morning sun, nothing in Equestria could compare to it. Though the light seems to be disturbing him and he flings one of his hooves over his eyes. You start to hear him mumble about something in his dream, it seems to be something about apple bucking. You continue to look at him almost as if you're in a trance. You sweep some of his hair out from in front of his eyes, if only he would open them, so you could see his beautiful, enchanting eyes. You look at the clock again, 7:30, usually when you wake up and then wake him up, so you give him a light shake and he grumbles a little bit and slowly open his eyes, adjusting to the sunlight. When he realizes that you're looking straight at him a smile appears on his face and he says, "Mornin' Talon", while also stretching his hooves. His are eyes staring straight at you and straight into your soul and for a moment you forget who and where you are. So you go over the basic facts in your head, my name is Feast-Talon, I am in love, I am currently dating Braeburn Apple, and I couldn't be happier. He then decides to interrupt your thoughts and says, "You 'member the first time we met, you fell for me, literally!", ending with a little chuckle. You remember the first time you two met, a rather awkward moment when you where you were sitting on top of him after being knocked out of the sky. The moment that would change your life, though you didn't know it back then. The moment where you met the special somepony who would change the rest of your life. You go back to the beginning of that day. AND FLASHBACK ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You look in the mirror and you see yourself, you look alright, except for your mane having a windswept look, but you like it better that way. Looking presentable you decide that it's time to go and meet up with your friends in Cloudsdale, they might have made fun of you for moving to the ground, but you don't let it bother you. You like living on the ground anyway, even though you're supposedly a creature of the sky. Another benefit of living on the ground is the fact that there are less griffons to deal with, even though that's your job. You walk out of the bathroom, through the rest of your house, to the foor to the hallway. Here you put on four horseshoes and twist the doorknob using you right fore-hoof. After walking down some stairs you make it to the lobby. When you reach the lobby the doorpony opens the door for you and you walk out of the building, savoring the sight before you. You can see all of Ponyville from here, it's a beautiful, it's something that can't describe in words. From here you can see the all the building that make up Ponyville. Twilight's library, Rainbow Dash's cloud mansion, the school, and numerous others stand in contrast the blue sky in the background. After gazing at the sight for a few moments you remember that you have friends waiting for you at Cloud 9. You flap your wings a few times and take off. Flying, it's something that you wouldn't give up for anything in the world, the feeling of freedom and the wind in your mane, there can't be anything better in the world. Plus without your wings you would be out of work, since you can't hunt griffons without wings. You start to think about why you do it, but you don't want to bring up old and painful memories, you're going out tonight to have fun and party with your friends, and to pick up a mare, or two if you're lucky. Then again if you were a lucky person both your parents would still be alive, you wouldn't live by yourself, and you wouldn't be living in a small apartment. If you were lucky you would be going to visit your parents with your special somepony, not going to Cloud 9 in a feeble attempt to try and pick up some mares. As you soar through the sky you take in the view below, now it is nothing more than desert, though it is still as beautiful as anything you've every seen. You continue on a path to Cloudsdale, and continue to flap your wings, though now at a slower rate. You expect to reach Cloud 9 in about 10-15 minutes, but your journey is cut short, and not in a good way. Right as you see an apple orchard below you there's a loud sound like a smack and you can feel yourself tumbling down unable to do anything. You try flapping your wings but your left one just hangs there and releases pain like you've never felt before. So all you can do is uselessly flap one wing and scream in agony from the pain released from the other one. As you look up you can see a grey pegasus mare with blonde hair shouting, "Oh Celestia, I am SOOOO SORRY!", in a voice that can only be described as derpy. She knows. She knows that she will be the reason that you're going to die. As you fall you contemplate what this means, it means you're going to die, that your life is now cut short and you will die with a loud 'fwack' as you hit the ground. Right then you hit something hard, but it isn't the ground, but something softer. As you look above your realize that you weren't up that high, 100 to 50 feet at the most, based on where the mare is. You feel lucky that you weren't killed like that yellow pegasus that you saw in flight school, the one with the pink mane and demure voice, terrible shame. But falling from this height has left you almost uninjured you, but you can feel pain radiating out of your left wing. Horse apples, you're going to unable to fly for at least a month. Then you remember that you didn't land on the ground, but something softer. As you look below you can see a yellow earth pony, with gold and amber hair, red apple cutie mark, wearing a brown vest, and a cowpony hat that's lying nearby. No doubt that your landing knocked it off his head. As you see the pony struggling and trying to get out from under your frame you try and use your wings to get off but only manage to flip yourself on your left side. You manage to say, "Sorry 'bout that, I got knocked down by that pegasus up there". You look up at the grey mare and you can see her flying away as fast as she could. "It's all right, I don't think you broke nothing", he responds, "Though I should be the one asking you if you're okay, after falling from all the way up there" "Yah, I'm fine, and you would be?", you ask. "Braeburn, Braeburn Apple.", he says, "And welcome to AAAAAAPLELOOSA". ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- And Back to Reality Your memory stop and you hear Braeburn's voice again, he saying, "You okay? Cause you're kinda spacing out on me here". You realize that you must have been just staring into space, thinking about when you two met. "Yah I'm fine", you reply, "Just thinking about what you said earlier". "Good, ah was afraid that there was something wrong", he replies, this time in a different voice, almost as if he's sad. He starts gently stroking your mane out of your eyes and playfully says, " Ah don't get why you let your mane grow so much, it gets in the way of your eyes." He then leans forwards and presses his lips onto your's, even though you've kissed him plenty of time each time feels as great as the first. It sends electricity through your body as you savor every second. Then he pulls away, though you still want more clinging to his lips as long as you can. He then exclaims, in the same playful tone," Go get yourself cleaned up you look like a mess." You grumble a little bit about not wanting to leave the bed but he eventually convinces you to go take a shower. So you get up off the bed and trot over to the shower on the opposite side of the room. As you walk you think about how you ever got somepony like him.
