Shining Armour is soooo cute!" I rolled my eyes. could this be more boring? honestly, I was dazed out. "Erm, Cloud. Cloooooooouuuuuudddd!" That was Flitter, shaking her hoof in my face. "AHHHH! My gosh will you be quiet? I'll be right back..." I just wanted to fly away. I walked around and stopped by Applejack's house. "Mornin' Granny Smith! Do ya' know if you have some apples? Seriously in the mood." "Hun', i'm sure we've got some apples for ya hun'! We have some new ones." Hearing the great news, I jumped above and ran in a circle. "Great, thats great!" ***************************************** "Twilight, Fluttershy, Flitter, Rarityyy! Got some apples, fresh from the tree!" "OH YEAH!" Everyone said, in unison. "Thanks!" "Super!" "Couldn't thank ya' more!" "Epic!" Those were the thanks for the apples. "You should'a thanked Applejack and Granny Smith. Picking up the apples. Good. Job for them!" Then, a loud crash. "Aaah-OW!ahhhh...!" I galloped outside, only to see Thunderlane sitting there, hurt. "Thunderlane! I'll get you." Carrying his hooves which were heavy, I rest him on the table in a house I have. His wings were in a puddle of blood. I panicked and got water. Putting on a cloth, it slightly was dripping. "Thunderlane you'll be okay, just calm down." He cries out in pain when I first put the cloth on but lets out a soft moan after. "Thats good. You're fine, I'm sure of it. Just cal-" "Cloud? C-c-cloudchaser? T-T-That you? Thanks for saving me... You look be.. I mean, nice." Nodding, I get another cloth and my wings rest slightly on the table. "Ohhhhhh.... I'm so tired right now." Yawning my head rests on Thunder's, and I go to sleep. ********************************* "Cloud ye i love no ssssssnnnnnnnooooooorrrrrrreeee...." Waking up to Thunderlane's annoying sleep talking. I stretch my neck but it hurts and I rest it on Thund- THUNDER! THUNDERLANE! WHAT?!" Thunder squints his eyes, looking into mine. I calmly try to remember what happened. Okay. He dropped from somewhere, picked him up... Helped him. Fell asleep. Now its now. Alright, I'll get him with a bandage. Wrapping one around part of his wing, he smiles. "Thanks Cloudchaser, for saving me. I might have died." Blushing, I say "haha. I know. Its nice." "You know I love you." I stop. "What?" "Yup. love, you heard it." My jaw drops. "THUNDERLANE! Really?! How could have you felt this way for me. 1,000 words cant describe this! We're friends... But..." I sigh. This can't get any weirder, can it? "Knock knock knock knock.. hello its a beautiful day in Ponyville!" Oh gosh. Not song... Oh gosh not song.. "Cant see romance, without a thrill! Waaaaaaaaanting a new story! Thats boring.. Stupid. Not in a hurry." Whats worse? Flitter and Twilight singing, or the fact that my best friend loves me. Can't pick. " Lets see some magic! I am Flitter, with glitter! We can all, sing along!" "GOSH FLITTER AND TWILIGHT SHUT UP." They quiet down. "Thunder has been hurt! Someone fetch me an apple." "Thank goodness, those ponies were annoying. I would rather run 50 races against them then hear them sing." Smirking, I say, "Heard it. I live with them every day. Well, not Twilight, but my sister... She's only 10 seconds older, but it always seems that she's the small one." Thunderlane snorts and says, "Niceeeee going. Used to have one... But then.." "Then what?" I ask. A tear drops down from Thunder's eye. "It started as this. I was a small colt, then my little sister Rose, she was born. I was so happy for a sister. Quite a few years later, Rose and I were walking in Ponyville, until we got near a beach that was far away. I wasn't supposed to, but I let my sister go into the water. We laughed and played, until I turned around, then back again, she was gone. I cried out to her, but there was no sign. Panicking at the moment, pawing at the waves and water, I felt something. My head hurt, but I dragged whatever it was to shore. It was my... Sister Rose! She died... Because of me. All because that I wasn't looking!" Thunderlane starts to actually cry. I put my hoof on his, and I lean my head on his neck. "She didnt die because of you. You loved her. It was a beautiful memory. You shouldn't make yourself think that she died because of you." Thunder sniffs and mumbles, "Alright. Just because you're my best friend. I truly love you." Still shocked by the response, I can't help to say, "Thunderlane, I love you too." He trembles but I wrap my arms around him. "You'll be fine, just relax. We are together and it will be okay. I promise." This time, I mean my words. Love is complicated. But it all seems that complications are gone. Now, Thunderlane and Cloudchaser.... It sounds nice. But honestly I dont know if it can work out.Its Love. Through the unexpected (although, a lot of unexpected things have happened), I get hit in the head with an apple. "Heres your apple, lovebirds!" Flitter and Twilight burst into laugher. Nope. It cannot get ANY worse. meanwhile, with Flitter and Twilight talking... "Hehe. I do think Cloudchaser DOES love Thunderlane, and they are totally meant to be. Dont forget she helped him, which is a big plus." Said Flitter, smiling. "Hmph. I have to admit, Thunderlane is really nice, I like him. As a friend, that is." Replied Twilight. "But... Not enough to love him. It almost looks like I could see his bone... That blood, gross!" "Hold on, I'm gonna go check on em'," says Flitter. Now, back to Thunderlane and Cloudchaser. I wrap a new bandage on Thunderlane, the blood is seeping through. "You're lucky that you're alive," I mutter. "All because of you. I love you." Thunderlane says, looking at me. Applying the bandage I go to scratch my leg. I come up, and all of a sudden, Thunder kisses me... It was... Beautiful! Although... At 'perfect' timing... Flitter and Twilight come in. "OH MY GOSH OH MY GOSH AAAAHHH THUNDER KISSED CLOUDDDD THUNDER KISSED CLOUDDD," and Flitter kept on singing. Thunder and I groan. Seriously? This is pretty annoying...
