A hidden friendship

by General Sparky

A pleasant discussion

They arrived at Goldheart’s house and landed. Goldhearts opened the door and ducked slighlty before entering the house. Toothless and Luna soon followed. Goldhearts closed the door and went into her room. She told the dragons to stay outside first.

Goldhearts entered her bedroom and took off her rein and her saddle. She placed the items neatly in her cupboard. She lied on her bed and comptemplated what to do with the dragons.

Meanwhile....

Toothless and Luna curled and lied down on the floor. They lay their head on the ground and looked at each other.

Luna kickstarted the conversion, Toothless, so what do you make of her?

I think she can be trusted, she seems like a nice pony. Maybe we could be her bodyguards while we accomplish our mission. Toothless said telepathically.

Are you crazy, Luna? She is very powerful. She doesn’t need our protection! Toothless retorted, recalling their encounter with Goldhearts.

She is powerful. Luna acknowledged. Luna tries to recall the fight and see if there is any way that she could help Goldhearts. As she went through the encounter in her head, she realised an important feature.

Luna thought hard and remember something abnormal. Her saddle hung loose around her belly. Do you know what this means? Luna asked, delighted at the revelation.

That she does not like to wear the straps of her saddle tightly. It may be a slip up. The straps around the belly is the worse. It hurts so much as it is so sensitive. Toothless stated, touching his belly, recalling his flight with his rider.

That could be a reason. I think that she hung it loose around her belly as she is about to give birth to a baby. It hung unusually loose. If she really has a foal, we could help her baby sit her foal in the meantime. Luna explained. She lifted her head high and smiled. She lifted her claws and danced around in a circle, excited at what it entails.

Toothless stood up and raised a claw and grabbed Luna. Not so fast, Luna. What if she doesn’t have a baby, What do we do?

Luna stared at Toothless’ green eyes. ‘He was right. What if she isn’t pregnant?’ She was about to reply when Goldhearts came out of her room.

“So what are you planning, Goldhearts?” Toothless asked Goldhearts verbally.

“Well, I guess it couldn’t hurt if I told you. Well, I am pregnant. I was thinking that maybe you too could help me babysit her in the meantime.” Goldhearts said, digging her front hoof slightly on the wooden boards on the floor and lifting her for hooves to cover her face.

The Night Furies acted surprised. Luna’s maternal instincts kicked and bombarded Goldhearts with questions. “You have a baby? How old is it? Is it a girl or boy? Who is the father? What’s its name?”

Goldhearts blushed. “Well the baby has spent 10 months in my belly. Well it is a filly. Her name is Amalthea. The father is a stallion named Pablo and his nickname is Rommel.”

“You have it all thought out, Goldhearts.” Toothless said, impressed.

“Where’s your mate?” Luna asked.

“He is not here, he is serving his duties while I came here. He is a great stallion. I am sure you would like him if you met him.” Goldhearts said, remembering the times she spent with her mate.

“Cool. Now, as we wait for the baby to be born, what should we do?” Toothless asked, thinking of activities to do in the meantime.

“For now, you can do whatever you want I guess. I need to get to work. Hang on a moment as I transform into my disguise.” Derpy said, realising that the room was getting a teeny bit brighter.

“Wait, you have a disguise?” Luna asked, surprised. ‘A mare this powerful and still needs to hide herself in the populace? Preposterous!’ Luna thought. Toothless gasped in shock but a much different reason. ‘She needs disguises, that mean she have something to hide, something she does not want any one to know.’ Toothless thought.

“Well, you see I am not a native here.” Goldhearts responded, upon seeing their reaction.

“If you are not a native, than how did you get here?” Luna asked, curious about her story. Toothless moved slightly forward, interested to hear her story.

“It’s a long story but basically I came from a place call Earth and settled down here in Equestria not long ago.” Goldhearts explained. Goldhearts mentally took note that she needs to complete that story, but not now, she has a job to do. “I am afraid that that will be a story for another time. I have a job to get to. You are free to do whatever you want in the meantime.” Goldhearts said sadly. If she had more time, she would probably go deeply into her past and explained it clearly. After all, if these Night Furies were to take care of her daughter, it’s better for them to know as much about her so that feel easy taking care of her daughter.

“If that’s the case, do you mind us exploring the place in the meantime?” Toothless proposed. He was eager for a flight around here and wanted to explore more of this ‘pony-centric’ world.

“Sure, why not. But make sure you are not seen, the residents here aren’t as welcoming as me when it comes to other species.” Goldhearts warned. She has seen how residents reacted to unknown species. (Specifically Season 1 episode 9 if you readers are asking) She does not want the same things to happen to them. Furthermore, it’s way before Twilight’s time, the residents might react even worse. Goldhearts started to imagine the ponies lighting up their torches, maybe even call in the royal guard to get rid of them, Berkian style. That’s a scene she would like to see and get a good laugh if it happens.

Toothless waved his claws dramatically in front of Goldhearts. “Hello, Toothless to Goldhearts? Are you there?” Goldhearts snapped out of her daydream and went back into the story.

“Great. You are back. Getting back to the point I made, we can cloak so no one can see us. See?” Luna said and fired a psalms blast in the air and flew through it. She turned invisible to Goldhearts’ eyes.

“Wow, that’s impressive. Well, I would love to find out how you guys do it, but Celestia’s sun is up, I better get going. If you guys need me, my disguised form is called Derpy. See y’all around!” Goldhearts said, as she disguised herself as a grey pony with a golden mane. She grabbed her mail mare uniform and ran to post office.

Toothless took a glance at Luna and smiled. He fire his plasma blast and flew into it, making himself turn invisible. With both of them cloaked, they spread their wings and took off, flying high into Ponyville’s brightly lit skies. There was just so much to explore!

Author's Note:

1) The dragons from How To Train Your Dragon came to Equestria for a secret mission, what will it be?
2) The bold and italic text represent that the dragons are communicating telepathically without using their speaking directly/ dragonese.
3) Luna is Toothless’ mate, the white night fury. Not to be confused with Princess Luna, EVER! There are many names for the female night fury and Luna is the one I like best so we are sticking to it for this story and potential sequels.
4) Stop breaking the fourth wall Goldhearts! I am getting jealous! No matter, I would still do it. You find it cute right? Right? Please tell me I am cute or not the author will stop making me break fourth walls. You got to help me! “Get out of the author’s notes or else *Pulls out her rein* we are going for a walk. A LONG walk. *Goldhearts has left the chat*
5) Leave your comments in the comments section below. I look forward to reading your comments
6) Some teaser to the next chapter: Horseriding+ Dragon riding+ Romantic flight/Ride
That is all, This is Goldhearts and General Sparky, signing off.

You're welcome!

As a fellow Singaporean, I find this story greatly interesting. However, there isn't really anything about how or why Goldhearts decided for her disguise to have Derpy Hooves' derpy eyes. (Or has she not got them yet? Was there an unfortunate incident that forced them onto her? It will be intriguing to see how you work that in.) Besides, the grammar is poor.
Are you still working on this? It's been almost 1 and a half years, but if you are, I may be able to help correct the language.

Hi there, thanks for your comment.
I am currently not working on this and have been trying to improve my grammar before starting to write again. I am currently working on a new story though.
