Tristan's New Life

by ShadowVoltstreaker

A Way Home?

AJ's POV

"Well…" I began, "Ya see sugarcube…" I couldn't help but stall. But I knew I couldn't lie to him either, not only because I'm the element of Honesty… but because he's a really close friend… and now Dash's coltfriend! “This is just too much pressure for me to handl-“

"AJ please, stop with the stalling, the suspense is killing me." Blaze said, trying to kill the tension in the air.

"Sorry." I replied, closing my eyes I quickly say "Ya'll were in there…. For a month." I don't know how long we were silent… but it felt like an eternity, nopony moved, nopony made a peep. Slowly opening my eyes I looked at him, his wings were on the ground, unmoving, along with his gaze, I couldn't see his eyes, but I guessed they reflected his current appearance.

"You're telling me…" Blaze finally spoke up "That I was in that hospital… unconscious…. For a full month?" his gaze never left the ground. Dash was on the verge of tears.

Now I've known that pony for as long as I can remember… and she isn't the type to cry… hay I used to question if she had tear glands in the first place! But because of this colt- no, because of Blaze, she finally found an emotion that she had long hidden away.

Sadness.

Out of nowhere Blaze started to chuckle, his chuckle slowly turning into a loud laugh. Looking to the others I could tell that they were as confused as I was. "AHAHAHAH! I can't believe I had to stay in the hospital for a month because of a face plant! This is just too funny!" by now he was rolling on the ground laughing his flank off.

"I don't see what's funny bout ya'll bein unconscious in a hospital for a month while we was worried bout ya! Dash here even stayed by yer side the whole time! Hay if we weren't there to make her bathe then she would be smellin’ and lookin’ worse than Big Mac after Apple Buckin' Season!" I snapped. I quickly shoved a hoof in my mouth and mentally scolded myself for yelling at him, "but it's still not right to laugh like that…"

Finally calming down Blaze stood up, wiped a tear away from his eyes and let out a heavy sigh "Sorry, my parents and family used to warn me all the time that I shouldn't laugh at times like these." he looked to the sky and smiled, by the look in his eyes I could tell he was homesick. "Girls…" Blaze said, looking at all of us and wrapping his wing tightly around Dash "I made you worry about me all this time... I know it must've been hard… knowing that a friend of yours was in the hospital all this time… Hay, I can't even imagine how Dashie must've felt, sitting next to me day in and day out… not even knowing when I was gonna wake up." He said, looking towards Dash. Looking back to us he continued "Girls… I'm sorry about making you worry about me."

Wiping a tear from her eye Dash hit Blaze in the side with her hoof, "Don't go all emotional on me Blaze." She said jokingly.

"But I'm just sooo sorry!" Blaze said, putting his hoof on his head and falling to the ground, fake crying. I couldn't help but laugh. And everypony else joined in, grinning Blaze gave up and gave a bow. Making us laugh even more.

Blaze's POV

Standing up straight and looking at the girls I saw them all laughing and giggling. Though Pinkie was doing more snorting then giggling… but still, It made me happy… they had all been worrying about my well being, so having a moment to laugh is perfect for them right now.

"You're going to cry. Just face it man."

"What? There's no way I'm gonna cry." I felt a tear slowly roll down my cheek.

"Told ya."

"Buck… Well the girls are still laughing so I should have a little bit of time to fix myself before one of them notices that I'm cry-"

"Oh my… Blaze are you ok?" Fluttershy said, noticing the tear coming down my face.

"Lobster Balls…"

"Y-yeah i'm fine." I said closing my eyes, feeling a knot in my throat "I never did like that FUCKING knot I get when I cry."

"Go cry about it. Oh wait you are, my bad."

"I… I don't like you."

I then felt a lot of hooves wrap around me. Opening my eyes I saw each of them, Twi, AJ, Rarity, Fluttershy, Pinkie, and Dashie…. all hugging me. Smiling to myself I wrap my hooves and wings around them, "I'm a pretty lucky colt to have this many beautiful mares caring about me…"

"Just now figuring that out are ya?" Dash whispered.

Chuckling I whisper "I love you all so much…"

"Hope we're not interrupting anything." I heard a familiar female voice say. Looking behind me I saw them, it had been so long… even before I went into a coma I had only been able to send them letters… but now they're here, and I can finally talk with them.

Princess Celestia and Princess Luna, Co-Rulers of Equestria.

Each of the girls then bowed and I swiftly joined them. "We were just sharing a tender embrace… but since you two are here you can join us." I said, lifting my head grinning and winking at them, causing both to giggle, Celestia composing herself a little swifter than Luna.

"I'm glad to see you're still the same as ever Blaze." Celestia said with a playful smile.

"As are we." Luna said with her own.

"I am too." I said, giving my trademark smile. "uhm Princesses?"

"Yes Blaze?" they said in unison, causing them to look at each other then back to me.

"Well, do you think we could talk in the castle? I have some things I want to talk about. But, let's only us three go. I want to keep it secret for now." I said, pointing at me, Luna, and Celestia.

"What? But why can't we come?" Dash said, obviously downtrodden. Sighing I turn to her and press my lips against hers, eliciting gasps from everypony around me. Slowly pulling my lips from hers I put my hoof under her chin to look in her eyes, she was blushing more than I'd ever seen. "Most likely because of everypony here to see me kiss her."

"Dashie, I know that you're sad that I'm leaving as soon as I wake up. But I have some things to talk with the princesses about. I'll be back in Ponyville after I'm done." I said smiling at her, "So just wait for me ok?"

"Ok… but..." Dash said, leaning in closer I say "Yes?"

"I want you to take this with you." Dash said, closing the distance between us with a deeper kiss than I had planted on her.
She even started twirling her tongue inside my mouth, causing my eyes to widen in shock. When it was over she winked at me, "Now get going. And make sure to stop at home on your way back."

After hearing that I heard a lot of mouths hit the floor. Blushing I salute her, "Yes Ma'am!"

Turning back to the princesses I saw them both blushing "How about it princesses?" I say, catching their attention.

Shaking their heads they look at me "Y-yes, of course." They again said in unison, giggling a little. Both of their horns glew a different color, Celestia's was a pale yellow, similar to Fluttershy's coat, while Luna's was a light blue that resembled her mane.

In a flash we were off the dirt road in front of Canterlot hospital and were now in Celestia's Throne Room.

"No matter how many times I get in here I'll never get used to how amazing it looks." I mumbled while gazing at the different ornaments and various items in the room.

"You get used to it." Celestia said rolling her eyes.

"Tis a lie!"

"Nice..."

"Blaze, I'm sure you didn't ask to come to the palace just to admire my room."

Walking to the curtains I say "I dunno… these curtains here may change my mind." Hearing Luna giggle and Celestia sigh I turn around and look at them with a stern face, catching their attention.

"I wanted to talk about getting me back home." I said, creating a thick silence in the room.

After a few seconds Luna replied "You wish to leave?"

"Well… I love it here and all… but I wanted to be able to talk to some friends and family back home. My real home." I said with a weak smile.

"I understand…" Celestia spoke up, "And… we may have found a way to send you back if you so wish it. However, this is a one-way spell. Once you go through… you may never be able to return."

Dash's POV

Me, Rarity, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Twilight, and AJ took the train from Canterlot to Ponyville, it took a few hours but we were there in no time because of Pinkie talking and always thinking up new topics.

After we got off the train we parted ways, AJ went to tend to her farm, Twilight went to tell Spike about Blaze, Fluttershy went to care for her animals, Pinkie went to cook some sweets for the party later, and Rarity went to spiffy herself up.

After everypony left I was alone, standing at the station. Sighing lightly to myself I fly off to my cloud home, landing on the front porch and opening the door I trot into my home and sit on the couch in the living room, waiting for Blaze to get home, so I can give him his 'Welcome Home' present.

Snickering at the thought I look at the clock in the kitchen, noticing it says '3:45' "Well the party is at 6:00… and I don't know how long it'll take for Blaze to get home." I mumble to myself and put my hoof under my chin to help with thinking. "Well I haven't exactly been flying much because of Blaze being in the hospital… so a little exercise may be good."

Hopping off the couch I walk to the door, opening it and walking outside I shut the door and fly away. Flapping my wings I felt a… nostalgic energy. It was the same as whenever I used the elements, it was Pure Happiness mixed with a love of Power.
Grinning I fly high into the air, and land on a cloud; far below me was Ponyville.

"Well, it has been a good long while since I did… 'That' hasn't it?" I could feel the grin on my face deepen as I dive off the cloud, reaching high velocity. In front of me a clear sliver of air was steadily forming around my body. Soon it became large, and if I didn't push through it then I would be sent spiraling backwards. Pressing my wings against my body I pass through the air and create a Sonic Rainboom.

"SOO AWESOME!" I yell as I shoot back into the air to avoid hitting the ground, creating a large rainbow that covered Ponyville.

Slowing down I decide to go back home.

Flying back home I land on the front porch and go inside. Not paying attention to anything I go into the kitchen to get a drink, opening the fridge I grab a bottle of Apple Jack's apple cider. Opening the bottle and drinking I hover into the living room and flop down on the couch. Putting the bottle down on the table I look at the time '4:00'. "When is that colt gonna get home?" I silently said to myself.

"Well I'm already home Dashie." A voice beside me said, causing me to shoot into the air and hit the ceiling with a loud 'thud'. Rubbing my head I look down and see Blaze sitting on the couch.

"Yo. You alright there Dash?" he asks, tilting his head to the side.

Blaze's POV

"I won’t be able to come back if I leave?" my hopes were crushed.

"Yes. I am sorry but that is how it must be." Celestia said, biting her lower lip. "If there was another way then I would tell you of it but-"

I cut her off, "No, don't worry about it… I had a feeling that something like this may happen… Which is why I’ll just be staying here.”

"But what about your life back on Earth? Everypo- I mean… everybody you left behind. Won’t they be saddened?" Luna asked.

It's not like I hadn't thought about it but having it said like that was almost too much. I sloqly set myself on the ground, "Well…
My parents never really did care much about me… so I was pretty much on my own, and my friends… they'll be alright without me… well maybe Zach, that dude never could do much on his own. And I'm not someone who was lucky with the ladies, so Dash is actually my first real girlfriend, well in this case Marefriend."

"I wish there was a way to contact them though…"

"Why not ask the princess if she could send a letter or something instead of you back to earth."

"THAT'S IT!" I shouted, startling both princesses in front of me.

"Celestia, do you think you could send a letter to earth for me? If you can send a pony then a letter should be easy!"

Pondering this Celestia says "Yes… I think that may be possible, however because it is not from Earth I cannot determine what area it will end up in."

"I'll have to take that chance." I say, nodding at her. "Either of you got a quill, pencil, or pen? Oh and some paper."

"Yes, we have some." Luna says, her horn began glowing a light blue and caused some paper and a quill to levitate to me.

"Thank you." I say with a smile. I grab the quill with my wing and think of what I want to say. "I can't just write anything… there has to be something I could write…" I whisper to myself. "Ah! Yes that'll do it!" I say, putting quill to paper and writing. My skill in writing with my wing was improving so it looked similar to my handwriting back on Earth. I would write with my mouth but I can't even imagine doing that.

"Finished…" I said as I dropped the quill, Luna and Celestia both had curious looks on their face. Sighing I say, "I'll read it to you both…" Clearing my throat I begin,

"Ehem!

Dear Zach,
Yo. It's Tristan, well not exactly… I'm Vague Blaze now. A few months ago I got sent to Equestria somehow… I know it sounds strange but believe me man, its true. When I was on my way to work I got caught in some kind of Vortex that sent me here. Ever since then I'd been living here. And well, the princesses have found a way for me to return, however I'm staying. I'm dating Rainbow Dash and if I left I think she'd be heartbroken, and you know how much I hate to see a girl- well mare, cry. Tell my parents and everyone else about this, and tell them my mind is made up. I'm happy here in Equestria, so I hope that you can be happy for me too. Oh and just so you know this isn't fake, 12145618. Take care man, hope you have a great life. Cause I sure as hell am!
-Tristan"

I took a deep breath and let it out, signifying I was done. "So, how is it?"

"Well done, but I'm kind of intrigued by those numbers at the end. What do they mean?" Celestia said.

"Oh, those were my and Zach's 'Protective numbers' we use them only in situations that are dire and we need the other to believe." I smile, remembering all the memories I left behind on Earth.

"You two must've been very close." Luna commented.

"You have no idea…" I whisper. Looking around the room I notice a clock above the door, squinting my eyes I see it says
'3:30'. "Well… I guess that's all… can you see to it that this gets sent to Earth Celestia?"

"I shall, would you like for me to send for a chariot to take you back?" Celestia said, levitating the paper to her, folding it up and putting it in an envelope.

"Oh Celestia!" I shout, moving to her.

Startled she looks at me "Yes Blaze?"

"Think I could lick that envelope closed? In my world we have machines that can analyze the DNA in one's saliva to pinpoint with 90% accuracy who it belongs to." I said, stopping in front of her.

"Oh? Well I see no reason why you can't." she replied levitating the envelope to me, licking the border of the envelope I close it and Celestia puts it on her bed.

"Thanks so much, both of you." I say giving them a wide smile. I then began smacking my lips together, “Das some good glue…”

“ew.”

“Nothing wrong with liking the taste of glue bro.”

“And yet there’s everything wrong with liking you…”

“And so it continues!”

"Do not mention it." Luna waved her hoof, "Now get going, you wouldn't want to make your 'Dashie' wait would you?"

"Oh yeah you're right…" I said, turning around and running towards Celestia's open window. "Oh and Luna, go to sleep. It’s still your bed time!" I yelled behind me as I took off into the sky, leaving Luna and Celestia behind.

Celestia's POV

I don't see why he didn't just use the door… I mean he was closer to it then the window. I thought to myself, letting out a low sigh.

"Are you alright Tia?" Luna asked.

"Yes, I'm fine. Oh and he's right Luna, it is your bed time. You do not have much time left until you must raise the moon and take watch." I reply, teasing her.

"Yes yes I know…" Luna said, seemingly agitated. "What are you going to do about the letter? We still have close to no idea how to send anything across dimensions, why did you lie?"

"I had to… he needs hope. I could tell from the look in his eyes that he missed his life back on Earth. And if we find a way to send it back it won't exactly be a lie will it?" I replied.

"Well… I suppose not…" Luna said, I could tell she was a little agitated by me lying. "I am going to bed Tia. Good night.."

"Yes, good night my dear sister." I said as she walked out of my room and shutting the door. Moving to my bed I look at the envelope the note contained. "It was correct for me to lie… wasn't it?"
________________________________________
Blaze's POV

Flying felt great, it had been so long since I could feel the wind in my mane, and I was loving every second of it. Pulling up into the air I do a few spins in the and bust through some clouds to let every muscle In my body get a taste of this.
In no time I could see Ponyville, passing over it I see a cloud home with many pillars and a rainbow fountain flowing through it. "I'm finally home…"

Landing on the front porch I slowly open the door, “Dash you here?” When I don’t get a response I walk in, close the door, and mumble, “Guess not. Well nothing's changed in here…" trotting into the kitchen I grab one of AJ's Apple Ciders (Which I love referring to as the golden nectar.) and go into the living room to sit on the couch. Popping the top I take a quick swig and look at the clock '3:58'. "Wonder when Dashie'll be home, I'm still waiting on my present. Well I got some time to kill… anything you want to say?"

"Let's see… well, did ya notice how everypony acted when they found out you and Dash were an item?"

"Yeah, they looked pretty shocked."

"I dunno… it seemed like they were just surprised that Dash didn't tell them sooner. I'm gonna tell you now that you'll wanna apologize to them, just in case."

"Well… if you think I should then I’ll do it, but I don't see the point in it."

"That's why I'm the brains here."

"So that makes me the brawn?"

"I see you more as dead weight."

"I… I just don't like you."

"And yet you still put up with me."

Before I could retaliate I heard hoof-steps behind the door. The door swung open and in came a certain rainbow maned cyan Pegasus, who completely ignored me and went into the kitchen, I heard bottles clanking together until the door finally shut and a bottle was opened. Flying next to me she put her drink on the table, I could see it was AJ's Apple Cider…

We have very similar tastes now.

She then looked at the clock. Groaning she said "When is that colt gonna get home?"

Rolling my eyes I say "Well I'm already home Dashie." I guess she didn't notice me because she shot straight up into the ceiling hitting her head. Tilting my head I say "Yo. You alright there Dash?"

Nice story can't wait for the next chapter

[Spacecowboy]

Hmm, thought for awhile you were going harem with this. Just kinda browsing through, it's got a lot of errors and room for you to grow as a writer, but nothing a quick look through the writing guide already up in the FAQs section wouldn't point out for ya.
