> Burning Love > by Paw_Claw_Print > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > New Town, New Life > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Burning Song took a deep breath and set hoof into Ponyville. She knew Ponyville was going to be her new home yet, she had no idea how to make friends. Living alone doesn't really help too. The Pegasus opened her wings and flew slowly upward. She flew slowly down to her soon to be house. She had gotten the house before she decided to move to Ponyville just in case "it" happened again. Burning Song flew by each house and store. It was in the middle of the night so nopony was out and about. She flew thinking about Ponyville and the ponies who lived there. Was she going to be the only Pegasus there. The place is called PONYville not Unicornville or Pegasusville. She flew and thought about these things over and over. Burning Song crashed into something and almost smashed on the ground when she suddenly stopped. She saw gray hooves and then looked up to see a gray stallion with a orange and yellow mane a tail. He had a horn glowing orange on top of his head. Burning Song was let down gently. "Forgive me. I wasn't looking where I was going," He said. "Oh no, It was my fault. I wasn't looking," Burning Song said back. The stallion looked at her and smiled, "My name's Campfire Flame. Call me Campfire." "My name is Burning Song. Please call me Song," Burning Song smiled shyly. "What are you doing out this late?" Campfire asked. "Well, I'm new to Ponyville and I was just going to my new home," Burning Song explained. "Oh... Ummm... D-do you mind if I come with y-you?" Campfire asked softly. Burning Song was shocked by the question. "Why?" Song asked, puzzled. Campfire said that he wouldn't tell anypony why but he forced himself to say it to this mare. "I-I got kicked out of my house because I have no money," Campfire said sadly. "Oh my, I'm sorry that happened. Your welcome to come with me." Song beamed. Campfire smiled from ear to ear, "THANK YOU!" "Come inside I have all the things inside so you can sleep in a spare bed I have," Burning Song said. The house was welcoming to anypony that would look at it. With a door mat outside that said: "Wipe your Hoofs" "Well... Here we are. Hope you feel at home!" Song sighed. Campfire looked at the house and saw two candles on both sides of the door with no light. His horn glowed with a orange-yellow color. The candles had two flames burning on them. "Wow! Thanks." Burning Song smiled. "Well, it IS my special talent," Campfire answered. Burning Song looked at his flank to see a campfire burning with fire as a cutie mark. "Your special talent is... fire magic?" Song asked a little confused. Campfire nodded, "Come on we better get inside." They both walked inside to a warm and cozy house with a bed room and a living room and a place for a kitchen but there was nothing in it. "Is there one more bedroom or is the spare bed in your room?" Campfire asked. "There is only one bed room but I have a spare room for whatever, if you want me to move the bed in there I will," She could tell he had not slept in the same room as a mare before. Campfire shook his head. She could also tell he didn't want to make her too tired. "You should go to bed. You look very tired," Song smiled. "Yeah I should," He yawned, "thanks for everything. I owe you one big time." Burning Song smiled, "It's the lest I can do. After all you are my friend." "I-I'm your friend?" Campfire blushed. "Of course!" Song beamed,"Now good night, Campfire." "Good night, Burni- I mean Song," Campfire said as he closed his eyes. "I love you..." Burning Song said very softly. > Making Friends? > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Campfire woke up to the smell of apple pie. "Song? Song?!" Campfire yelled. "Down here!" Song's voice woke up Campfire. Campfire looked down and saw Burning Song in front of a table with apple pie on a plate and another one on the other side nicely made. "You didn't need to do this," Campfire blushed at the thought of her getting up early just to make this for him. Song smiled and hummed a little song. That humming turned into singing. Campfire stopped eating and looked in shock as Burning Song kept on singing. She stopped and opened her eyes as she blushed. "O-Oh I didn't mean to keep singing! Sorry," Song was embarrassed. "What's wrong with it? It was beautiful!" Campfire said. She blushed,"I know it's my special talent, but I'm shy when I sing." Campfire looked at her flank and saw a music note in a piece of toast as her cutie mark. "Well, thanks for the food, now I'm going to go get some things I might be gone for a while," Campfire said as he put on his bags. Song smiled and waved her hoof to say good bye. As soon as he left she cleaned up and put her bags on. "Okay if your going to live her you need to make some friends... or at lest try," Burning Song said to herself. Burning Song walked out of her house and locked the door. She had to be sure to get home before Campfire did. She flew up and flew down the town. She passed an apple stand and saw an orange pony selling apples. "I should get some food for me and Campfire," Burning Song walked over to stand. "Howdy there partner, what can I do ya for?" The pony asked. "Um... I was looking for some apples that are freshly picked, please," Song answered. "We have all kinds. Say, I haven't ya around these parts before," The pony blurted out. Burning Song gulped and pointed to the apples she wanted. The pony put the apples in her bags. "I'm n-new to Ponyville, my name is Burning Song," Song smiled weakly. "My name's Applejack, nice to meet ya!" The orange pony smiled happly. Burning Song gasped, "Y-your Applejack!? You represent the element of honesty!" "Oh come on now, y'all don't need to be say'n that," Applejack said. Burning Song smiled, "How much are the apples?" Song got ready to get some bits from her bags. "Oh no need partner, on the house. Ya new to Ponyville and all," Applejack looked serious. Burning Song smiled and waved good-bye. She had just made a friend and got some free apples. Maybe this is her day. She trotted past a library and heard a crash. Song flew in to see a purple pony using magic to lift up a baby dragon. "SPIKE! I told you no playing we need to-" The purple pony was cut off by the baby dragon. "LOOK! We have somepony!" The dragon looked nervous. The purple pony looked at Song a smiled as she opened a pair of big purple wings. A pair of wings AND a horn that means she's an alicorn... AND that means she's a princess! "Nice to see you. Welcome to the Ponyville library! My name is Twilight Sparkle, how may I help you?" The purple pony turned from mad to happy in seconds. "I-I'm seeing if- wait Twilight... Twilight Sparkle... You represent the element of magic and your a princess!" Song bowed. Twilight looked around awkwardly. Both ponies heard a voice coming from outside. Campfire opened the door and saw Burning Song. "Oh there you are... I-I've b-been looking e-everywhere for y-you..." Campfire huffed. "What's wrong, Campfire?" Song asked running to his aid. Campfire huffed, "I thought somepony had kidnapped you because you weren't home when I got back and the door was locked." Burning Song's ears fell as she tried to pick him up. She flapped her wings and covered him up. "Oh no... Can I help you in any way?" Twilight asked sadly. "Oh, you could bring him to my house. Thank you, Princess!" Burning Song smiled as the sun shined on her eyes making a sparkle form in her eyes. Twilight gasped. "Is something wrong?" Burning Song asked. "O-Oh, it's nothing... come on we need to get him to your house," Twilight used her magic to lift the stallion. Campfire opened his eyes weakly, "Thank you, Song..." Everything went black. > Showing feelings... Almost. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Burning Song trotted back and forth, worried, it had been an hour sense Campfire collapsed. She had put a blanket on him and put him on the couch. Twilight Sparkle left not to long ago, saying she would be back to check on her and Campfire in an hour. Campfire coughed. "Are you okay? I didn't know what to do I mean you just fell and then-" Song was cut off by Campfire's hoof. "I'm fine, a little weak, but fine... I just got a little tired, that's all..." Campfire smiled. "You did not get a little tired! You passed yourself out because you worried to much and ran to fast!" Song yelled. Campfire got up and sighed. His horn glowed with a yellow-orange color. Song got closer to Campfire not because she walked over but because he made her with his magic. She was at lest 5 inches away from him, close enough to make her blush hardly. "I'm fine. All you need to do is nothing," Campfire said and he looked serious. Burning Song nodded and gulped. Campfire walked over to the kitchen. "I'm going to do something. So I need you to go get some things, please," Campfire said. "Sure," Song smiled. "Go get some apples, hay, and some oats please," Campfire explained. Song nodded and grabbed her bags. She dashed out the door. "I must say she is cute... WAIT! Don't fall in love with another mare!" Campfire yelled. He used his magic to drag a huge box from under his bed. He opened it, a stove came out, a mini one. Campfire placed it in the kitchen area. "There we go now to get this box out of here," He said to himself. Burning Song came through the door with oats, hay, and apples stuffed in her bag. She saw Campfire smiling at her and waving. Her wings shot up, making the bags fall and making the apples, oats, and hay spill all over the floor. "Oh my gosh! Sorry! I-I, my wings they just- Sorry!" Burning Song frowned. Song put her hoof on an apple and so did Campfire making their hooves touch. Burning Song and Campfire looked up into each others eyes. Song blushed as she felt Campfire hoof. So soft and warm. He blushed back but turned away quickly making sure she couldn't see him blush. "I saw you blush, no need to hide it..." Song said but quickly regretted. Campfire looked back at Song and got closer. Song joined him without knowing. They were 3 inches away when she slipped and fell on Campfire. "Owww..." Campfire groaned. Burning Song stood up and helped Campfire up. "Oh my goodness, I'm sorry.." Burning song looked to the side. Campfire stared at her without saying anything. He just stood there and looked at her. "I think I..." Campfire blurted. "Me too.." Burning Song said, knowing what he was about to say. He shook his head, "Thank you, Wait, what did I just say?" "I think I..." Song repeated. Campfire blushed as his ears fell. His heart raced as his mouth opened to say something but nothing came out. "I know you didn't mean anything by it..." Song smiled. Campfire sighed and trotted to his bed time passes so fast. "I guess Princess Twilight isn't coming," Song yawned. Song trotted to her bed and got into it, "Good night." Campfire looked up at the sealing. "I NEED to be more careful... I almost showed her my feelings..." Campfire said to himself very softly. > Rainy Day > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Campfire woke up and heard raindrops on the house's roof. "I guess we got to stay indoors today..." Campfire sighed. He looked at Song's bed, where she was sleeping. Here mane was covering one of her eyes. "She... NO! I can't fall in love! I can't, I can't, I can't!" Campfire yelled. Song's eyes flickered open. She got up and opened her wings. "What?" Song yawned. "N-Nothing!" Campfire blushed. Song giggled as she got out of bed. Campfire's heart jumped. Did she just giggle because of him? "Look... About last night..." Song said. Campfire's heart stopped. What was he going to do? She wasn't ready to here the truth. "I know you where really tried and I was too so I think you were just really tired," Song said with a smile. "Y-Yeah... Wait, so you think I don't-" Campfire covered his mouth with his hooves. Song looked at him. Campfire blushed. "So... yeah... By the way, are you okay?" Song asked, puzzled. Campfire nodded, his hooves still stuffed in his mouth. A knock at the door woke them up. Song flew down and opened it to see Princess Twilight with a bouncing pink pony smiling ear to ear. Song bowed. "Good morning, new pony," Twilight beamed. "And the same to you, Princess. By the way my name is Burning Song. Please, call me Song," Song answered. The pink pony gasped and jumped on Song. "OH MY GOSH!! Anewpony! Ihavetothrowawelcomimgparty! Andrightaway!" The pink pony ran as fast as she talked. Twilight helped Song up, "Sorry, guess I should have warned you about that." "No problem. Hey, Campfire is alright!" Song stepped to the side, making Campfire visible. Campfire bowed. He took his hooves out of his mouth as he did. Twilight smiled. "I must be getting back to my house. I've got a special somepony waiting for me..." Twilight blushed. "But you'll get soaked!" Campfire said from the back. "Don't worry I know a force field spell," Twilight said as she left. Song let out a big sigh as she walked over to the door to close it. There were still oats and hay and apples everywhere. How did Twilight not see this? She saw the items float over to a corner as it neatened itself out. "Please, let me help," Campfire smiled weakly. Song smiled back as she heard the raindrops on the roof. "Is it raining today? Oh no! It can't rain today!" "Why? What's wrong?" Campfire asked racing down the stares. "I was going to meet a pony named Rainbow Dash to get a job as a weather pony today. This was her only day she was free. I guess the other Pegasus ponies had other ideas..." Song said sadly. "Hey, I could cover you up with a spell I know as you look for her," Campfire said looking at her. "But what about you?" Song questioned. "No worries!" Campfire stood up tall. Song nodded as she opened the door. As she thought the rain was pouring down. Campfire put an orange cover-like thing over her head. She sighed and walked in the rain. "Ahh!" Campfire blurted. Song looked over to see a soaked Campfire. Campfire shook it off and looked forward. "Are you sure your okay with getting soaked like this?" Song frowned. Campfire nodded. Song walked longer than she planed. She saw a light blue Pegasus with a rainbow mane sleeping on a cloud covered by dark purple thing like the one Song had over her. "I think that's her," Song flew up to the cloud the pony was sleeping on. The pony opened one eyes and then the other. "Can I help you?" The pony said, still on the cloud. "Rainbow Dash?" Song asked. "The one and only! What can the most coolest pony do for you?" Rainbow Dash asked jumping from the cloud. "I came to see if I could get a job as a weather pony? By the way, I do well with storms," Song explained. Rainbow Dash yawned, "Oh yeah, your Burning Song... You what a job? Sure. You can start to tomorrow." "Really?! Thanks! I got the job!" Song smiled. She flew down and jumped She looked at Campfire and hugged him. Of course, he blushed. "Sorry, I just need to hug somepony," Song said, hugging him. Campfire hugged her back. He wasn't sure why she was so happy to get the job but he wasn't going to turn down a hug from her. Rainbow Dash looked down and saw them hugging. "Bluk! Get a room!" Rainbow Dash said rudely. Song opened her eyes and back away. Campfire pulled a weak smiled even though he was a little sad in the inside. "HeHeHe... Sorry," Song blushed. Campfire blushed too. "We- We better get home," Campfire smiled. Song nodded. They walked the same path home. "Are we a-almost t-there..." Campfire panted. Song looked over, Campfire was running out energy. He was soaked even though he shook multiple times. Song felt bad and opened her wing putting it over Campfire. He shook one more time but this time he only got a little wet. They walked back to her house. Half way through, Campfire's magic gave out making Song get drenched with rain. She wasn't mad or sad she was happy because she was helping somepony, something she hadn't done before. When the got to the house Campfire walked in and right then did he see he wasn't as wet as he should have been. He looked up to see a soaked Song. "Oh my! I... Are you okay? Did you get a cold?" Campfire asked questions and more questions. Song held up her hoof, "I'm fine!" "Thanks... I-I'm sorry," Campfire frowned. He looked up in her eyes. Time stopped and everything went quiet. It was like they were the only two ponies in the world. Nothing else mattered. "I-I..." Campfire tried to talk but couldn't. He WASN'T in love with this mare. He tried to look away but couldn't, he wouldn't move. NO! HE WASN'T IN LOVE WITH THIS MARE!!! He looked at her more even when he was trying so hard to look away. What's the point? He was in love with this mare... even if he didn't want to be. He would have to do what he did with mares he fell in love with... but this one mare he just couldn't do it. But, he had to... he had to break her heart. .
