Planet: Reach Location: wasteland outside of Sinoviet ship breaking facility, (surrounded by the Covenant) Time: 1845 hours “GHOST, TO YOUR LEFT!” Ice yelled. Ghost quickly grabbed her combat knife and swung her arm in a wide arc, slitting the elite’s throat, letting blood spill from the newly made wound. The elite placed his both of his hands over the wound trying to the stop the bleeding but he slowly started drowning in his own blood. After several seconds the elite fell over form lack of oxygen and slowly died at Ghost’s feet. Ghost just smiled as she watched the elite bleed to death in less than 30 seconds. The sound of a Jackal crying in pain made Ghost look over to Ice with his foot on a Jackal’s back. Ghost could see Ice slowly putting more and more weight on the Jackal’s spine and ribs as the Jackal tried to crawl his way out from underneath the Spartan’s boot. “Ice!” Ghost called out making Ice look up to see Ghost shaking her head. Ice sighed. “You always ruin my fun.” Ice said to his sister in a joking manner. Ice looked back down at the Jackal and forced all of his weight down on the Jackie’s back crunching its ribs and spine and making blood and guts exploded out of the Jackal’s mouth. "That was for Six Covey basters!" Ice yelled at the dead Jackal. Ice looked back up Ghost as she loaded a fresh clip in to her sniper rifle and put it on her back with an audible click. Name: Ghost [MARK. 3] Age: 23 Gender: female Armour: primary colour: white Secondary colour: blue Head: MJOLNIR Mark 6 FC-I [2] Shoulders: Sniper Chest: HP/ PARAFOIL Wrist: tactical/ TAC Pad Utilities: tactical/ soft case Knee guards: FJ/ PARA Visor colour: gold “Hey Ghost what’s your kill count now?” Ice asked as he added a fresh clip to his assault rifle. Name: Ice [MARK. 3] Age: 25 Gender: male Armour: primary colour: white Secondary colour: red Head: MJOLNIR mark 5 CNM Shoulders: ODST Chest: collar/ Breacher Wrist: tactical/ UGPS Utilities: tactical/ trauma kit Knee guards: grenadier Visor colour: gold “563 kills. Yours?” Ghost asked her brother. “562.” Ice said with an unhappy look on his face under this helmet. “Looks like I win the bet and that means you owe me 50 credits.” Ghost said smiling under her helmet at him. “I will pay you back in the afterlife.” Ice said he walked over to turret mounted machine-gun. Ghost just rolled her eyes and walked to the sandbag wall. Ghost looked over the same wasteland that was littered with littered with hundreds of Covenant corpses along with multiple Covenant vehicles burning with thick, black smoke. The once brown and sandy grounds was now stained with the chaotic splatters of colour blood like a hellish work of art, from the bright blues of the grunts, to the dark purples of the elites and every alien blood colour in between. “Hey, Ice.” Ghost called not turning her head to look at him. “Yeah!” Ice said looking towards Ghost. “Do you wonder what are lives would be like if the Covenant never attacked and was at peace with the UNSC and the rest of humanity?” Ghost finished at she looked up to the sky deep in thought. Ice sighed as looked up to the sky following Ghost's gaze. “I don’t know, I could possibly be married and have a child or two by now or I could be homeless and living on the street, I don’t know. But all I do know is that the Covenant will not stop until they are all dead and we will stop fighting, at any cost to see that are species survive.” Ice finished looking at Ghost. Ghost sighed again. “I have heard it all before Ice!” Ghost said a little sadden of the same answer she as heard her whole life. Ghost slowly she turned to look at him. A low rumbling sound started off in the distant making Ice and Ghost look behind them, to see a Covenant CCS-class cruiser flying over head. Ice and Ghost looked at each other and removed their helmets and tucked their helmets under each of their left arms and saluted at each other. Ghost had neck long hair that had been dyed dark gray with red dip dyed ends, she had 3 scars on face, one on the left side of her cheek, one that went across her nose and one under chin. Her skin was a light pall white, her under her chin, her skin was a light pall white, her were blue and her nose and mouth were avenge size. Ice had mid-length size hair that had been dyed dark with a red strip going from the front right down to the back of the neck on left side, he had one long and deep scar that curved down from his forehead across his eye and stopped at his cheek, his skin was pall white, his eyes were blue and mouth and nose were avenge size. As the CCS-class cruiser stopped right over them. “It has been an honor to have you as a brother.” Ghost said knowing this is the end of them. “We had a good run, Ghost.” Ice said putting on a smile. As the CCS-class cruiser fired it's glassing beam and hit Ghost and Ice, ever thing went white. But Ice and Ghost feel them self being thrown round like a rag doll, feeling their bodies being stretched and putted in every direction, with a ranch of rainbow of colour danced a cross there eyes before they blacked out. Planet: unknown Location: unknown Time: unknown six mares were sitting down at a small panic they had set up, enjoying the warm sun on their fur along with the peace and quiet, until a large BOOM sounding like something breaking the sound. They all looked up to see a large orb of light fly and see it crash far off into the nearby forest. "Come on girls, we need to go see what that was," said their leader before all six mares set off after the object than crashed in to the forest. > Chapter 2: where am I... and...and why am I a horse? > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Two worlds p1 Chapter 2: where am I... and...and why am I a horse? Planet: unknown Location: unknown Time: unknown Ghost slow started waking up, as she did she could hear. “Birds?” Ghost grumbled. She was in too much pain to more she couldn’t open her eyes. As Ghost laid there she was deep in through. (Inside Ghost’s head) “Ok Ghost forcers what can you do!” She said to herself. Ghost tried to move but striate away Ghost’s body screamed unbelievable levels of pain. (Inside Ghost’s head) “Ok trying to move makes the pain worse, well done Ghost well done.” Ghost said mentally cursing herself. “Alright so I can’t move and I can’t see, so that leaves me feel, taste, smell and sound well that’s not so bad 4 out of 5 not bad.” Ghost said as she tried using her remaining scents to find out where she was. (Inside Ghost’s head) “Well I can hear birds and I can feel moist dirt and grass, well that says I am not in a dry wasteland anymore.” Ghost said to herself and mentally checking off her checklist. “I think it crashed over here.” A female voice said far away and sounded like it was getting closer. Ghost started thinking of a plan to find a way out of this mess. “Oh shit.” A male voice grumbled. “Ice? Is that you?” Ghost asked. “Ghost holy crap. Where are you?” Ice grumbled back sounding confused and surprised. “I think I am next to you? Can you move?” Ghost asked. “No I can’t and my hearing is all muffled and can see grass and that is all blurry.” Ice said informing Ghost. “Hey Twilight are you sure it crashed in this area?” Another female voice said this one annoyed. “I am sure Rainbow!” Said the first voice. “Ghost I going to guess that the first voice is called Twilight and the second is called Rainbow.” Ice told ghost. “Well that’s a start.” Ghost said in sarcasm. “The faster we find it the faster we can get out of this horrible forest.” A third female voice said this one sounded like a posh British. “Rarity can you stop your complaining at lest it crashed in white-tail forest and not in the ever-free forest!” A forth female voice said with a deep Texas accent. “Ghost can you move now?” Ice asked. “No I can’t move but I can at last open my eyes but the bad news is that all I can see is blue sky.” Ghost said sounding pissed off. “My Pinkie scenes are telling me that we are going to meet some aliens.” A fifth female voice sounding young, bubbly and full energy. Ghost and Ice noted that the footsteps walked next to them then the footsteps started getting quieter and quieter. “Ice I think they missed us.” Ghost informed Ice. “Oh hello miss blue bird how are you and the family doing today?” A sixth female voice said but this one could barely be heard. Now Ghost and Ice got confused as it sounded like a bird replied back. “(Gasp) is somepony hurt?” The voice asked. The bird chirped back. “Where?” The voice asked again this time sounding worried. The bird chirped back again then the sound of someone running toward them. “(Gasp) oh my goodness.” The voice said. Ghost and Ice knew they had been seen. “Damn.” Ghost and Ice muttered. "Ice play along!" Ghost commanded in a whisper. "Copy that." Ice whispered back. “Girls over here somepony has been hurt!” The voice yelled. “Somepony?” Ghost muttered as Ice cocked an eyebrow. Sound more footsteps running towards them in the direction as another pair of footsteps rushed over to were Ice and Ghost were laying. Ice felt himself being rolled over to his back by someone. When Ice came face to face who had found them he got a big surprise a yellow horse staring back at him. Fluttershy rolled the stallion over on to his back and stop as she got a shock. Ice looked at her his eyes meeting her. Fluttershy stared at the long scar and her eyes followed it until her eyes met his. Fluttershy could see the all pain in his eyes, all the horrors and nightmares he must have got through. (Inside Fluttershy’s head) “Oh my what has he been through and that...those golden eyes... oh my… no, No bad thoughts, bad thoughts Fluttershy.” Fluttershy said mentally cursing herself. “Hey Fluttershy.” Someone said behind her. Fluttershy yelped in surprise making her turn around too fast. Ice felt her trip over his leg as she turned making her fall over backwards as her back landed on his stomach and the back of her head land on his chest, knocking the wind out of him. “Fluttershy are you alright?” Said Twilight as she ran over to Fluttershy followed by Rarity. Ghost just lay on her back as a pink horse with big blue eyes just stood over her and stared at her with a large creepy smile on its face. “Hi I'm Pinkie Pie. Who are you? Are you a new pony? Are you moving to Ponyville? Have you seen any aliens around?” The pink horse now known as Pinkie said at a 100 miles per hour. Ghost gave her a glare that could probably melt through steel. “Pinkie get off of her.” Said a voice that Ghost remembered as Rainbow. Fluttershy’s head slowly stopped spinning as she tried to recall what just happened, her thoughts were interrupted by somepony coughing. “Get (cough) off of (cough) me.” Fluttershy jumped in surprise at the sound of voice as she remembered what just happened. She few strait off and landed a good 10 feet away of the pony she had just landed on. “Are you ok?” Twilight asked as walked up to Ice. “No” Ice said as he stared up to the sky. “Do you need first aid?” Rarity asked. “Fluttershy could help you.” Twilight added. “I am going to guess Fluttershy is the yellow one that fell on me right?” Ice said bluntly still staring at the sky. “Why yes she is, but Fluttershy is one of the nicest and kindness pony in all of Equestria.” Rarity said trying to defend Fluttershy but it made her blush and hide behind her mane. “Well shit, Ghost we are not on planet Reach any more.” Ice said as he still stared up at the sky. Ghost who had got eye site back fully reply. “Ice I sort of worked it out.” Ghost said as the orange one know as Applejack was helping Ghost to her feet. As Applejack was pulling Ghost up using Ghost’s front HOOFS? “Arrrrrrrrrrh WHAT HAPPEN TO ME!” Ghost yelled out loud making everyone look towards Ghost minis Ice who could not move. Applejack jumped back in surprise away from Ghost. “Fuck!” Ghost grunted as Applejack jumped away that left Ghost standing on her own, with legs that Ghost could not control and with no support to keep Ghost standing up right. In less than a second Ghost fell face first on to the ground with her body lying out like a starfish. “Ghost what happened?” Ice asked. Ghost continued laying there looking at her new at her new arms, well forelegs. “What are you talking about?” Twilight asked Ghost. “What do you mean by ‘what happen to you’? Do you mean your scar or...” Twilight was interrupted by Ice. “Me and Ghost got our scars from fighting the Covenant.” Ice informed sounding extremely pissed off. “What the hay is the Covenant?” Rainbow asked. “Oh is it some kind of frosting? Because it as the cover in it that could mean it covers cakes or cupcakes? But what favour is Covenant is it like...” Pinkie’s rant on the word Covenant was stopped by Rarity putting her hoof over Pinkie’s mouth. “Pinkie darling I think we should let them explain, instead of us interrupting them.” Rarity finished informing the girls and taking her hoof out of Pinkie mouth. “Thank you ma,am. Ok let me start form the beginning, but first can help me and my brother?” Ghost asked. “Wow. Wow. Wow wait one minute, first you tell us what the hay you are going on about!” Rainbow yelled at Ghost. “I swear on my life of my brother that I will tell you everything.” Ghost said calmly. “RAINBOW!” Applejack yelled. Rainbow turned to look at Applejack but Fluttershy spoke up first. “Dash can you not see that both of them need help.” Fluttershy finished giving Rainbow a determined look. Rainbow was about to reply but Twilight spoke first. “Rainbow dash Fluttershy is right it would be wrong of us to ask questions why they are in pain.” Twilight informed Rainbow. Rainbow sighed. “Alright but if they try anything funny I will not hold back on kicking their flaks.” Rainbow said crossing her forelegs. “Ok Fluttershy can you look over their injures?” Twilight asked. “Yes” Fluttershy said with a firm nodded. “Ok Fluttershy can look over...er...um... sir don’t remember your name.” Twilight said blushing with embarrassment. “My name is Ice and it just Ice.” Ice said informing Twilight and the other. “Ok Fluttershy can look over Ice first?” Fluttershy nodded and walked over to Ice and started feeling around the mussels along Ice’s forelegs. “Do you feel any pain?” Fluttershy asked Ice still keeping her eyes on where she was putting her hoofs. “No.” Ice said still staring up at the sky. Fluttershy move up Ice’s forelegs and started moving up to Ice’s chest. “Oh my.” Fluttershy said quietly as she blushed deeply. “What was that Fluttershy?” Pinkie asked. “oh...um... nothing, nothing at all!” Fluttershy said a little too fast as her face continued to get even brighter red. “Oh Fluttershy your face says something completely different.” Rarity cooed. Fluttershy’s whole face turned red as a cheery. “Come on ya’ll we should not make fun of Fluttershy, remember today’s her last day in heat.” Applejack said looking towards Rarity. “Wait, are you say that one of your friends as the hot for Ice?” Ghost asked with a smirk started forming on her face as she looked over to Twilight. Twilight was about to reply but Pinkie beat Twilight to the punch. “Yeah Fluttershy is getting all lovely dovely and flustered over your brother Icy!” Pinkie said wail she jumped up and down. Ghost brushed into uncontrollable laugher. “I hate you Ghost.” Ice said through gritted teeth. “Yeah, yeah I love you too bro.” Said with a large smile on her face. Ice just gritted his teeth and just stared up at the sky. Fluttershy used her long pink mane to hind her cheery red face and looked towards Twilight. “Twilight I can’t find anything wrong with him, maybe try one of your healing spells...that is if what to do it and if...you...don’t mind...” Fluttershy said as she looked to the ground and toward her head a bit. Twilight nodded a yes towards Fluttershy then she walked over to Ice. Ice continued staring up at the sky as Twilight came in to his field of view. Ice cocked an eyebrow as Twilight’s horn began to glow in a purple light. Ice’s eyes wide fully as Twilight closed her eyes and moved her face closer to his. (Inside Ice’s head) “Holy crap she going to kiss me! WHAT THE HELL IS SHE DOING?” Ice asked himself but soon as he was finished making that thought, Twilight tiled her head forward making her horn touch Ice’s forehead. Ice could feel the energy go through him. Twilight moved away from him and as her horn stopped glowing. Ice just laid there and felt no different and he still could not move. “Um… ma’am I not think your thing worKED OW MY FUCKING GOD!” Ice yelled as his body registered pain and moment. Ice jumped to his new hoofs. Ice soon worked out why Ghost screamed. “Why I am I a horse?” Ice said calmly as he looked at his new hoofs. “You’re not a horse silly, you’re a pony.” Pinkie said as she jumped up and landed next to Ice. Ice gave her a deadpan look. Ice looked around to see the mares in front of him. Twilight was walking over to Ghost and pretty much did the same thing that she did Ice. (quick way to say it = horn glowed, closed eyes, horn makes contact with forehead, horn stops glowing, wait 5 seconds) Ghost yelped as she jumped up a good 5 feet before landing perfectly on her all fours. “What did you do?” Ghost asked Twilight as moved her foreleg around. “Well all it was just used a basic healing spell, so I could find what was wrong with you so I could point my magic in the areas that needed healing, and before you ask all your nerves were not intone to your body so you could not move but your eyes, ears and mouth.” Twilight informed them. Ice walked and looked at Ghost she was a Pegasus that was covered in scars with a white coat, her wings that had blue tip feathers, her mane and long tail was dark gray and both had like red dip ends, Ghost's facial scars were still there and her dog-tags were still there as well and her eyes were a gold colour. Ice stopped a meter away to the side of Ghost. Ghost looked up at Ice. He was a Pegasus that was covered in scars with a white coat, his wings that had red tip feathers, his mane and tail was dark gray and both had a red stripe going throw them, Ice’s facial scars were still there and his dog-tags were still there as well and his eyes were a gold colour. Looked form her brother to mares in front of her. “Ok.” Ghost looked herself over then to her brother again. "Follow my lead." Ghost whispered to Ice. Ice nodded as Ghost looked back towards the six mares. “So a promise is a promise, we should start with introduction.” Ghost said as she and Ice stood at attention and gave a salute. “I am commander Ghost, Spartan mark 3 / S-128.” Ghost said perfectly crystal clear. Next was Ice. “I am commander Ice, Spartan mark 3 / s-129.” Ice said perfectly like Ghost and again it was crystal clear. Ghost and Ice continued standing at attention and the same time Ghost and Ice lower their right foreleg from the side their heads. The girls just looked at them over and then looked at each other and again back to ghost and Ice. Twilight cleared her throat. “We should introduce our self as well. My name is Twilight sparkle the faithful student to princess Celestia one of the co-rules of Equestria.” Twilight said proudly putting a hoof to her chest and holding her head high. Ghost and Ice looked at Twilight to see a unicorn pony with a lavender coat, an indice mane and tail both were hime cut with a pink and purple streaks going down both and she had purple eyes. Twilight continued. “Then we have applejack.” “Howdy.” Applejack said giving both Ghost and Ice a warm welcoming smile. Ghost and Ice looked at Applejack, she was a normal pony no wing on her back or no horn on her head but a brown cowboy hat that sat upon her head, her coat was orange, blonde mane and tail both had been tied up with a red hair-band in the form of a pony-tail (no joke). “Next we have Rainbow Dash.” Twilight said as she pointed up to Rainbow Dash who was hovering just to the left of Applejack. Rainbow glared at them before specking. “I one and only fastest flyer in Equestria and you better try thing funny or I will kick your flak in to next week.” Rainbow said pointing a hoof at Ghost and Ice. Ghost and Ice just looked at the Pegasus with a sky-blue coat and with rainbow-striped mane and tail and she had rose coloured eyes. “Wow I'm so fucking scared.” Ice said dripping with sarcasm as he gave her a deadpan look. Ghost just rolled her eyes. Rainbow charged at them to only be stopped by Twilight’s magic holding Rainbow by the tail with a magic ore. Ghost and Ice didn’t move or flinch at Rainbow charging at them when Rainbow was stopped only a foot away from them. “Let me at them, let me at them, let me at them!” Rainbow yelled as she swiped her hoofs at Ghost and Ice and only to keep missing their muzzles by only a few millimetres. Ghost and Ice only stared at her, not even caring. Twilight pulled Rainbow back with the others girls. “Rainbow enough!” Twilight yelled as she glared at Rainbow. “But they started it!” Rainbow growled as she pointed a hoof at Ghost and Ice. “You are wrong Rainbow Dash, all my brother said that he was not scared of you and to be honest I am not scared of you not ever a little.” Ghost said looking directly at Rainbow. Rainbow was about to reply but Twilight, Fluttershy, Applejack and Rarity gave a stern look, as of Pinkie she was watching a fly. (I don’t know why) Rainbow just crossed her forelegs and huffed. An uneasy silence washed over everyone for about 10 seconds. “Well I think we should continue with the introductions.” Twilight said putting on a smile. “Agreed.” Both Ghost and Ice say in unison. “Ok then next we have is Rarity.” Twilight said as she point at Rarity with a hoof. Ghost and Ice looked towards Rarity, she was a unicorn with a white coat, a royal purple mane and tail that both had been combed in to wavy curs and she had dark blue eyes. “Hello darlings. If you don’t mind me asking you a question?” Rarity asked Ghost and Ice. “No.” Ghost said as she shook her head. Ice said nothing. “Ok I would like to ask is that are you both royal guards by any chance?” Rarity said as she looked over Ghost and Ice appearance. Ghost cocked her head to the side with one of her eyebrows raised. Ice just give a blank expression. Twilight just continued. “Next to Rarity is Pinkie Pie.” Twilight said as she pointed to the pony next to Rarity. Pinkie had a pink coat, a magenta mane and tail both wore just really messily, her eyes were big and blue, but just like Applejack she had no wings or a horn. “Hi I'm pinkie pie, do you like parties? Of course you must like parties because who doesn’t like parties? Oh I need to throw you both a welcome to Ponyville party then we can become friends and you can find the aliens that…” Pinkie’s rant was cut short by Twilight putting Pinkie a sound proof bubble and pulled her away from Ice and Ghost. Ghost and Ice gave a deadpan stare to show that they didn’t really care. “Pinkie please calm down, sorry she gets existed around new ponies.” Twilight said give a sheepish grin. Ghost and Ice looked at each other, as Ghost just surged and as Ice rolled his eyes, then they looked back towards Twilight put Pinkie down next to Rarity, then Twilight spoke again. “And now we have Fluttershy.” Ice and ghost looked at the yellow coated Pegasus, she had a long pink mane and long tail and her eyes were aqua coloured. Fluttershy looked at Ice and Ghost but soon as her eyes made contact with Ice’s she looked away blushing and hind behind her long pink mane. “What’s worry with her?” Ghost asked pointing a hoof at Fluttershy. “Oh she just shy.” Rarity said giving Fluttershy a wink, making Fluttershy blush harder. Rainbow looked towards the sky. “It’s starting to get dark girls, we should start heading home.” Rainbow said looking towards her friends and pointing up wards with a foreleg. “I agree with Rainbow on this, we should start heading back.” Applejack said looking towards Twilight. “Ok we will… wait… do you two some were to stay the night." Twilight asked the two Spartans/ponies. "No we don't." Ghost informed Twilight. "Umm... you can come with us to Ponyville and we see if we can find you some ware to sleep for the night.” Twilight informed Ghost and Ice. “Whoa, whoa, whoa wait one bucking minute you what to bring them back to Ponyville.” Rainbow yelled pointing a hoof at the Spartans. Twilight glared at Rainbow then looked towards Ice and Ghost. “Can you give us a moment?” Twilight asked. Ice and Ghost nodded in unison. Twilight walked away from Ice and Ghost, and jested to her friends to follow her. The girls got in to a huddle. “Rainbow what is your problem, you have not stopped glaring at them sins we got here!” Twilight whispered giving Rainbow a glare. “I don’t trust them!” Rainbow whispered. “We should at least give them a change.” Applejack whispered glaring at Rainbow. “I agree with Applejack they have been through a lot, just look at their scars and their eyes show no emotions like if all their feelings were taken away.” Fluttershy whispered. All of them looked towards Ice and Ghost who stood about 20 feet away from them. Ice and Ghost just stood there staring off in to the woods like they were statues. The girls looked back at each other. (with Ghost and Ice) Ghost saw the girls look away and started whispering to Ice. "Ice, I know what to are thinking and it is a no!" Ghost whispered through gritted teeth. "We should not trust them!" Ice whispered back. "I am not trusting them but we need their help so..." Ghost said before Ice interrupted her. "So you think they have away to get back to Reach?" Ice whispered as he raised an eyebrow. "Yes, just play along for now and act a little more friendly, will you?" Ghost whispered give Ice a glare. Ice just nodded. (back over with Twilight and the others) “Ok if we bring them back with us we can keep an eye on them and also see what we can learn from them.” Twilight suggested. The other looked at her second before Twilight just rolled her eyes. “Don’t worry I didn’t forgot, I will write a letter to the princess.” Twilight added. Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy smiled at Twilight answer as for Rainbow she just muttered *fine* under her breath and for Pinkie she was stared at a butterfly that as on the end of her nose. “So are we all in an agreement with Ice and Ghost coming with us to Ponyville?” Twilight asked her friends. Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy nodded, Rainbow crossed her forelegs. (At this point I don’t know what the fuck Pinkie doing now) “Ok.” Twilight said with a large smile on her face. At the same time Ghost and Ice looked towards the girls. “Ok, we have agreed to take you both to Ponyville with us.” Twilight informed the Spartans. Ghost and Ice nodded. “THAT MEANS WELCOME PARTY!” As Pinkie jumped up and yelled. “Ok ma’am, lead the way.” Ghost said as she and Ice gave all the girls a salute. “Thank Celestia we can finally get out of this muddily frost.” Rarity complained. “Fluttershy you know White-tail woods better than us so can you take the lead.” Twilight said as she blushed in embarrassment. Planet: Equestria Location: White-tail woods Time: 2014 hours Fluttershy nodded as she took the lead as the others followed. For about 10 minutes Fluttershy lead the group through the woods, until they came to the main dirt road that went through White-tail woods. “Well as the sun sets in the east, that means Ponyville should be a 15 to 20 minute walk from here.” Fluttershy said as pointed a hoof east. “Well done sugar cube.” Applejack said as Fluttershy blushed and pawed at the ground with her right foreleg. “Oh it was nothing… I'm just… glad that could help.” Fluttershy said blushing even more. “Come on girls we will be home before you know it.” Pinkie said bouncing down the path. They started continue their walk towards Ponyville. 10 minutes later the girls and the two Spartans made it out of the forest. Planet: Equestria Location: path between White-tail woods and Ponyville Time: 2025 hours The site in front of Ghost and Ice was a beautiful med-evil village. Ghost and Ice looked to their left to see a larger sign that read: *welcome to Ponyville the nicest town in Equestria* “Well great.” Ghost grumbled under her breath. “What was that?” Rainbow said as she glared at Ghost. “Never mind!” Ghost said with a sigh. The girls and the Spartans continued their walk in to Ponyville. The walk as uneventful as they made it to a larger tree with a sign the read:*Ponyville’s great oak library*. The girls and the two pony Spartans walked into the library house thing? With Twilight going first, next was Applejack, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Ghost, Ice Fluttershy then Rainbow Dash few in last and closed the door behind her. Planet: Equestria Location: inside /Ponyville’s great oak library Time: 2028 hours “Spike I'm home.” Twilight called out loud. Soon the sound of footsteps came from up stairs. “Twilight your back late and the…” the young voice stopped as a little purple lizard boy, with lime green spikes ran down his head to his tail, he also had some kind of lime green ear fins... things (I DON’T FUCKING KNOW WHAT THEY ARE CALLED ALRIGHT!) on the side of his head and he had green eyes came in to view at the top of the stairs. “Spike I would like you to meet to Ghost and Ice.” Twilight said as she pointed a hoof at the two pony Spartans. Spike just put on a small smile and a small wave of his claw. “Ghost and Ice I would I like you to meet my son and number one assistant Spike.” Twilight said proudly. Ghost cocked an eye brow at the word *son* but gave a small smile and Ice just nodded his head. Spike looked towards Rarity with a love struck look on his face and ran right up to her. “Hi Rarity I didn’t know you would be coming at this time at night…” Spike slowly started trilling off as he thinking. “Wait why are all you girls here?” Spike asked. “It’s good to see you to spiky whikey and the reason we are here is that we need to find a place for Ice and Ghost to stay.” Rarity said as she gave Spike a pat on head. “OH OH PICK ME PICK ME!” Pinkie said jumped down with her right foreleg raised if was in a classroom. Ghost and Ice looked at each other with an uneasy look. “But Pinkie Mr and Miss Cake don’t have a spare room at Sugar-cube Corner.” Applejack pointed out. Pinkie stopped bouncing and sat down. “Awwwwwwwwwwwww.” Pinkie said as she sat down and looked at the floor. “Well I have no room I have Sweetie Bell sleeping over, what a about you Applejack do you have some were…” but Rarity was cut off by Applejack. “Sorry but the guess room is having year fixer upper and the barn is full, so I don’t have a place for them.” Applejack finished explaining. “I have only one spare room here.” Twilight added. “Well what about you Dashie?” Pinkie said to Rainbow. “No bucking way!” Rainbow said glaring at Ghost and Ice. “Well I not have a guess room but one of you can stay at my cottage… if you… don’t mind… that is.” Fluttershy said as she used her mane to hind behind, but everyone was too busily yelling a Rainbow for cursing to front of Spike to hear her. But Ghost and Ice was just able hear her. “Ice, go with Fluttershy she trusts you more than me.” Ghost explained to Ice. Ice nodded to Ghost and walked over to Fluttershy’s. “I will you up on your offer miss Fluttershy.” Ice said. The library went dead silent. “WHAT!” All of Fluttershy friends said in unison. “Twilight I will take your offer.” Ghost informed but all five of Fluttershy’s friends all had their mouths open and their eyes the size of dinner plates. Fluttershy looked at the clock on the wall and gasped. “Oh my I need to feed my animal friends.” Fluttershy said as she shot out of the library forgetting Ice. Spike sighed as he started to count. “5, 4, 3, 2, 1.” And right on time Fluttershy poked her head inside as Ice walked to the door. “Sorry.” Fluttershy whispered as Ice walked pasted her and as Fluttershy walked next to him. Planet: Equestria Location: inside /Ponyville’s great oak library Time: 2031 hours Twilight: “Fluttershy…” Rainbow: “asked…” Applejack: “a stallion…” Rarity: “to her…” Pinkie: “cottage?” Ghost just looked at Spike to ask why but Spike cut her off. “Fluttershy is a very shy pony she never invites a stallion to her home because Fluttershy too scared to ask any stallion over, let alone have a date.” Spike informed Ghost. Ghost just nodded in understanding and making Ghost question if it was the right idea to sent Ice over to Fluttershy’s. “Well Twilight and the others are going to be in shock for about an hour or so, so I show you the guess room.” Spike said with a friendly smile. “Thanks.” Ghost said as she smiled and nodded. Ghost followed Spike to the guess room. Spike so stopped at room on the second floor. “This is where you will stay.” Spike said as he opened the door. Inside was a good size bed room with a signal bed one side of the room, with chest of draws and a bookcase full of books. (Inside Ghost's head) "Well they don't act like Covenant, that's a good sign... I think?" “Thank you Spike.” Ghost said with a smile. “Hey Ghost was it?” Spike asked. Ghost nodded. “I was just wondering, are you some kind of royal guard or something?” Spike asked. “No I am not.” Ghost said looking away. (Inside Ghost's head) "Should I tell him? Well it would help with gaining his trust and it see if he is Covenant." “Me and my brother are Spartans.” Ghost replied after 10 seconds. “What a Spartan?” Spike asked. Ghost laughed a little as she walked over to the bed and sat down on it. “Let me tell you a story about what a Spartan is.” Ghost said with a small smile. Spike ran right up to Ghost a sat down on the floor in front of her with his legs crossed, hands on his knees. Ghost giggled. “I going to guess that you like stories?” Ghost asked with a smile. “Yeah, Yeah, Yeah.” Spike said nodded his head. “Ok, I should start with humanity…” Ghost said as started the story. After an hour of telling Spike about humanity, the Covenant, the war, the Spartan program and how she and Ice got to Equestria. “… and now I’m here.” Ghost finished looking down. Spike had tears in his eyes as his tried to imagine the world Ghost came from, all that pain and suffering. “We are so sorry Ghost.” Said a voice from the doorway. Spike turned around to find Twilight and the others standing at the door all with sadden looks and tears eyes. “How long have you guys been standing there?” Spike asked. “They missed the part about humanity but they heard the rest.” Ghost said as she continued to stare at the floor. “I guess we should leave her alone.” Spike said as he wiped his eyes and walked to door. The others nodded. Spike and the others walked back down stairs leaving Ghost alone. Ghost got off the bed and walked to the door and closed it. Ghost walked to the window and looked out of it at the setting sun. Planet: Equestria Location: inside /Ponyville’s golden oak library Time: 2134 hours Twilight, Applejack, Rarity, Rainbow, Pinkie and Spike made their way in to the front room of the library without saying a word, wait for somepony to brake the silent’s. "I can't believe that Ghost and Ice, went through all of that. I... can't..." Twilight said completely unable to picture the horrors Ghost spoke of. "Somepony please tell me that is not the truth!" Rarity said wiping her cheeks with a handkerchief. "I wish I could lie but, that was... it was truth." Applejack said looking down at the floor. The others said nothing but get upset trying to imagine, millions life's lost as whole planets be destroyed. It was like this for several minutes no one saying anything, until Applejack broke the silent. “Good night girls.” Applejack said glumly as she made her way to the door and left the library, still with a sadden look on her face trying to forget Ghost's story. “See you guys tomorrow.” Rainbow said as few thought an open window trying to think of something else. “Good night darling, I will see you girls tomorrow.” Rarity said as she continued wiping tears away as well as she left the library as well. Pinkie said nothing she just waved and left and closed and door behind her. Twilight and Spike made their way up stairs to go bed as well. (Well Spike sleeps in a basket next to Twilight so NO SHIPPING!) Planet: Equestria Location: path towards Fluttershy’s cottage Time: 2040 hours The walk to Fluttershy’s cottage was a silent and uneventful trip as Fluttershy and Ice walked side by side. (Inside Fluttershy head) “Come on Fluttershy just talk to him, stop acting like a lost school-filly and just talk to him say anything, something…” Fluttershy mentally cursed herself. 10 seconds later Fluttershy sighed and tried to bring enough bravery to speak. “Mr Ice… I am…” Fluttershy was cut off by Ice. “My name is just Ice, no Mr, no sir just Ice.” Ice said as he just looked straight not making eye contact. “I'm sorry… I didn’t mean to upset you.” Fluttershy said as she lowered her head a little. “Don’t worry about it, I can see that you are trying to make conversation but not to be rude but I wound like a quiet walk.” Ice said looking towards Fluttershy. “Oh, ok.” Fluttershy said blushing badly Planet: Equestria Location: outside Fluttershy’s cottage Time: 2051 hours “Well here we are.” Fluttershy said putting on a smile. Ice looked at the beautiful cottage, it looked like it was a tree with windows and a door on the front, in front of the cottage was a little bridge with a small stream going under it. “Fluttershy this place beautiful.” Is all Ice could said with his mouth open in amazement. “Thank you Ice.” Fluttershy said turning away and blushing bad. After 30 seconds of looking at the cottage Fluttershy spoke up. “Um… Ice could you like to go inside.” Fluttershy asked as she pointed to her cottage with a hoof. Ice snapped back to reality. “Oh sure and sorry.” Ice said rubbing the back of his head. Fluttershy giggled was both of them made their way to the front door. Planet: Equestria Location: inside Fluttershy’s cottage/ living room Time: 2052 hours Fluttershy open the door and walked in to her home followed by Ice. Soon as Ice closed the door, a small horde of little animals ran right up to Fluttershy all squeaking happily to see her. Ice just stood there trying to piece together of what the fuck he was seeing. “Don’t worry my little friends I will get your food.” Fluttershy said walking over to a carbruad. Ice’s slowly rebooted as he saw Fluttershy struggle to carry a 30kg bag of animal food. “Do who need a hand with that?” Ice asked as he walked over to her and Ice saw a little white bunny giving him a death glare as he walked by. Fluttershy looked up to see him walk over to her and pick the 30kg bag up with one foreleg and lift it over his head, placing it on his back. “Thank you Ice.” Fluttershy said with a blush. “You are letting me stay at your home Fluttershy, it’s the least I can do.” Ice said with a small smile. After Ice and Fluttershy fed all the animals. Fluttershy let out a small yawn and she stretched her back and neck. Ice looked her from the corner of eye as Fluttershy stretched and saw that her body was beautifully curved in all the right places. Ice blushed and looked away. “Well I'm off to bed.” Fluttershy said as she finished stretching. "Ice could you follow me please." Fluttershy said as Ice followed her up stairs. Planet: Equestria Location: inside Fluttershy’s cottage/ Fluttershy’s bed room Time: 2115 hours Fluttershy entered her room as Ice followed her in. “You can use my bed and I will take the sofa.” Fluttershy informed Ice. “No way this is your home I sleep on the sofa.” Ice said put a hoof to his chest. “But… I insist…” Fluttershy said but Ice cut her off. “You are not changing my mind ok.” Ice said with a smile. “Ok good night Ice.” Fluttershy said blushing. “Good night Fluttershy.” Ice said as he walked down stairs. Planet: Equestria Location: inside Fluttershy’s cottage/ living room Time: 2117 hours Ice found the sofa in the dark. Laid down, closed his eyes and fell in a light sleep. Planet: Equestria Location: inside Ponyville’s golden oak library/ guess room Time: 2156 hours Ghost continued looking out of the window, for at least 20 minutes. Ghost watched the moon rise high, into the sky. Ghost sighed as she turned around and walked to the bed. Ghost pulled the bedsits and climbed in to bed. Ghost laid her head down on the pillow and tried to fall to sleep, about an hour later Ghost fell in to a light sleep. (ENDING CHAPTER HERE OK) > Chapter 3: A hell of a day… well a hell at sweet apple acres (half done) > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Two Worlds p1 Chapter 3 A hell of a day… well a hell at sweet apple acres Planet: Equestria Location: Twilight’s library/ guest room Time: 0638 hours Ghost shot straight up in a cold sweat and breathing heavily. Ghost looked around any Covenant soldiers as her eyes darted to find anything that was out of place. A few very long second ticked away as Ghost started to calm down. “Just a nightmare.” Ghost said under her breath. Ghost looked towards the window and could see that the sun as not even risen yet. Ghost sighed as she got out of bed and fell on to all fours. (Inside Ghost’s head) “Inside guest room, check, inside new pony body, check, in magical land of talking ponies…” Ghost looked out the window “…double check.” Ghost through to herself. Ghost looked around the room one more time before sighing again. Ghost looked at the bookcase to see if there was a book that will help her understand about this world. (Inside Ghost’s head) “These are all story books and non-fiction! Damn it! Well I am in a library, there’s probably a book down stairs that will have the info I need.” Ghost through to herself. Ghost made her way but stopped suddenly as she remembered a detail that out of place “nightmares”. (Inside Ghost’s head) “The nightmare! I haven’t had nightmares in years, so why now?” Ghost asked herself. Ghost could only remember the last time she had nightmares was in the early days of Spartan training, but she never had a nightmares when she became a Spartan. (Inside Ghost’s head) “It’s impossible for Spartans to have nightmares, Dr Halsey’s training program made sure of that Spartans don’t feel fear and not to have nightmare. So why did I have one? Am I broken?” Ghost thought to herself with all the possibilities flying through her mind but it was not important right now so Ghost surged it off and walked out of the guest room. Location: Twilight’s library / main room Time: 0641 hours Ghost walked down stairs in to the main room of the library as her eyes looked around again to find anything out place and again nothing. Ghost walked up to one of the bookcases and looked over some of the book titles. After a minute or two, Ghost decided to look over another bookcase but a small desk in the corner of the room court her eye. Ghost turned and walked up to the desk it was a small with a few scrolls on it and two ink pots with one of them with a quill in it. But it was the letter or note that was laid out in the center that court Ghost's interest. (Inside Ghost’s head) “This might be interesting?” Ghost said to herself as she picked it up and read through it. “Friendship report… dear princess Celestia… magic of friendship don’t make me laugh.” Ghost mumbled under breath with a smirk on her face. Ghost put the so called friendship report back on the deck and went back to finding a book to read. Location: Fluttershy’s cottage/ Fluttershy’s bed room Time: 0730 hours Fluttershy awoke to the sound of taping. Fluttershy open her eyes and lifted her head to see what was making that noise. Fluttershy soon found out it was her little pet bunny Angel taping his foot on the chest of draws that sat next to her bed. Angel stood there with his arms folded as he continued tapping his foot with a *about bloody time you woke up* look on his face. “Oh morning, Angel.” Fluttershy said with a yawn. Angel just rolled his eyes as Fluttershy got out of bed. “I will be down in a minute Angel.” Fluttershy said as she made her way to the bathroom. Angel rolled his eyes again and made his way down stairs. Fluttershy made her way in to the bathroom and looked at herself in the mirror behind and sink. Fluttershy mane had a bad case of bed-head, her fur and tail was more or less the same and Fluttershy’s feathers were all tatted. Fluttershy picked up her hairbrush and brushed her mane, tail and fur coat. (After 5 minutes brushing.) Fluttershy was finished her mane, tail and fur were prefect, now all that was left was her feathers. Fluttershy turned her head around started pruning her feathers starting with her right wing then the left. (Another 5 minutes later) Fluttershy was again finished. The sound of tapping got Fluttershy’s attention making her look towards the door to see Angel tapping his foot. “Sorry Angel… I… was… just… er… making myself look nice because… we have a guest.” Fluttershy said putting on a fake smile and blushing badly. Angel tilled his head to the side with an eyebrow raised as if he was asking *Why?*. Fluttershy looked back to the mirror and started brushing her teeth. (No idea! How?) (Angel’s POV) “My master is acting very weird but why, normally she would wake up feed me and the others without all this brushing and grooming.” Angel thought to himself. “Then again she has been acting weird then that male walked in to my master’s home." Angel thought to himself again trying to put the pieces together, then it hit him. "She has fallen for that male, no wonder she grooming herself." Thought to himself, with a smile on his face. Angel would have been happy for her but at this point he just wanted to be fed. [A.N](Yes in this story Angel is a little bit less of an asshole) Fluttershy finished brushing her teeth and checked them that they were all white, flawless, smooth and she made sure her breath was minty fresh. “Prefect.” Fluttershy said as she looked herself over and smiled, but Fluttershy’s smile quick faded. (Inside Fluttershy’s head) “Why am I doing this, just for Ice to like me? No I should be myself, but most stallions pay no mind to me, when I am myself.” Fluttershy mentally battled with herself. Fluttershy sighed as she made up her mind. “Ok Fluttershy, act like yourself for now but if plan A fails go to plan B.” Fluttershy said herself as she looked at reflection. She nodded agreeing with herself and made her way down stairs. Location: Fluttershy’s cottage/ Living room Time: 0742 hours Fluttershy made her way in to her living room and looked to her sofa. Ice was laying on his belly, with his head resting on his forelegs, his back legs were tucked under his body and his tail hanging off the edge of the sofa. Fluttershy giggled quietly to herself. (Inside Fluttershy’s head) “He looks so cute, when he’s sleeping.” Fluttershy thought to herself. “Morning, Fluttershy.” Ice said not opening his eyes. Fluttershy jumped in surprise. “Oh… Ice you’re a wake.” Fluttershy said putting a hoof to her chest to try and slow down her racing heart. (Because of the jump scare) Ice opened his eyes and looked with a small smile on his face. Ice got off the sofa and started stretching his aching back muscles. Ice turned his head to find Fluttershy staring at him with a blush on her face and her wings out stretched. “Are you alright?” Ice asked snapping Fluttershy back to reality. “Oh… I’m f-fine… I was… just… um… looking at your muscles.” Fluttershy said whispering out the last part as Ice’s eyes then wide. “Thank you Fluttershy, I guess.” Ice said putting on a smile. (Inside Ice’s head) “Well this is awkward.” Ice thought to himself. Fluttershy and Ice in the living room, just standing there in silent giving each other a fake smile. (Inside Fluttershy’s head) “Stupid, stupid, stupid, what was I thinking!” Fluttershy mentally cursed herself. A tapping got Fluttershy and Ice attention. Both of them looked down to see a little white bunny. “Oh… sorry Angel.” Fluttershy said looking at Angel. Fluttershy looked back up to Ice. “Ice would you like something to eat?” Fluttershy asked. Ice was about to said no but his stomach grumbled in protest. Fluttershy giggled as Ice blushed in embarrassment. “Yes please Miss Fluttershy.” Ice said trying to sound plight. “Just Fluttershy is fine.” Fluttershy said making little circles with the tip of her hoof, on the floor. “Thank you, Fluttershy.” Ice said with a nodded. Fluttershy walk to the pick the bag of food but Ice spoke up. “Fluttershy would you a hand with the bag again.” Ice offered. Fluttershy turned her head to face him. “Yes that… w-would be… n-nice…” Fluttershy said blushing and rubbing her foreleg. Location: Twilight’s library / Twilight’s bed room Time: 0745 hours Twilight awoke to the sound beep, beep, beeping from her magically enchanted alarm clock. Twilight lazily lifted her hoof and pressed the alarm’s off button. Twilight sat up on her bed and looked at her clock. the clock read 7:45am. [Picture a crystal with a clock face on it / how it works / the crystal, is magically lined up with the sun, so it only go’s off when the sun is at the 7:45am point in the sky] (Celestia’s sun is always on time) Twilight got off her bed a slow made way to the door but stopped looked at her dragon son. Spike was fast asleep, all curled up in his blanket as he sucked on his thump. Twilight couldn’t help but smile at him. “He so cute, when sucks his little dragon thump like that.” Twilight said quietly in a motherly cooing voice. Twilight give Spike a kiss on the forehead and start heading for the door, letting Spike sleep in. Location: Twilight’s library / main room Time: 0745 hours Ghost was joining the book she was currently read, but the first book she read not so much. Ghost looked up at the two books that she had finished. The first book was all about ponies ranging from the different races to the biology, Ghost did skip the parts about “mating” because to Ghost it was not important. The second book she had read was all about Equestria as a country. And the book Ghost was read was all about Equestria’s history, which was making Ghost laugh. “Rising and lowering sun and moon how fucking stupid are this ponies?” Ghost said as she burst out laughing. Ghost wiped a tear form her eye. “I haven’t laughed this hard in a long time.” Ghost said as she heard a door open form up stairs. Ghost looked up towards the stairs to see Twilight. “Good morning, Ghost.” Twilight said with smile. “Morning, Twilight.” Ghost said putting on a small smile. Twilight looked at the two next to Ghost, then to the book in front of Ghost. “I see that you like to read, Ghost.” Twilight said looking up to Ghost. “Well I don’t mind reading but I just thought that, you know new world, new rules kind of thing.” Ghost joked as she gestured the world around her with a hoof. Twilight rolled her eyes at Ghost’s joke. “So was the bed alright?” Twilight asked hoping Ghost had a goodnight sleep. “Yeah, and I got to said that last night was the best sleep I have never.” Ghost said giving Twilight a smile trying to sound plight. Twilight smiled at Ghost’s compartment. Ghost looked back down to the book she was reading. “Ghost would you some breakfast?” Twilight asked as Ghost looked up at her. “Thank you Twilight, I would like that.” Ghost said as closed the book and put on top the others, she had read. Twilight made her way to the kitchen, with Ghost following behind her. Location: Twilight’s library / kitchen Time: 0756 hours Twilight and Ghost where sitting down at the table, eating the oatmeal that Twilight had made. (Twilight using her magic to hold the spoon and Ghost is using her right wing like a hand) Twilight looked up from her bowl, to look towards Ghost. Twilight wanted speak to Ghost about what she had said last night. But when Twilight wanted, to ask the questions about Ghost and Ice’s world but the lump in her throat, stopped her from asking. Ghost swallowed the mouthful of oats, before speaking up. “Is something wrong?” Ghost asked, not looking up from her bowl. Twilight didn’t say anything but look away from Ghost, avoiding eye contact. Ghost looked up at Twilight. “Twilight.” Ghost said in tone voice making Twilight look at Ghost, with a look of… fear. “You’re scared of me, aren’t you?” Ghost said raising an eyebrow. Twilight shook her head rapidly. “No, no, no, no it just… yesterday, when you spoke of your world… it’s… it’s… I can’t… how can they, just kill and destroy for no reason.” Twilight said with hate and anger. Ghost glared, looking down at the table so her anger was not focuses on Twilight. “It’s all to do with some kind of *Great Journey*, the journey to please the gods and make themselves gods as well. And the best part is humanity was in the wrong, place at the wrong time and WE ARE LOSING!” Ghost ranted on through gritted teeth, yelling the last part with cold icy venom dripping from every word. The room was dead silent. Ghost and Twilight sat in silent with the only sound that could be heard was their breathing. Ghost looked towards Twilight to see that she was, shocked. Twilight face soon turned to one of sadness. “Ghost, I thought you said that humanity was winning the war.” Twilight said with tears starting to build in her eyes. Ghost didn’t say anything but the look, on her face said it all. “Ghost… I… I…” Twilight was cut off Ghost. “Can we drop the topic… for now.” Ghost said with a tone that made Twilight cower, in to her seat. “Sorry.” Ghost quickly apologized. “It… ok…” Twilight Whispered out, still a bit scared of Ghost. After several minutes of silent’s, Ghost spoke up. “So Twilight what do you have plan for today?” Ghost said trying to lighten up the mood. Twilight was surprised at Ghost sudden change of attitude, but Twilight remembered her plans that she had made today. “Oh buck!” Twilight said as she put a hoof to her mouth. Ghost raised an eyebrow. “Me and girls are help Applejack today.” Twilight said grapping her empty bowl and darting towards the kitchen sink. “With, what?” Ghost asked as she put the last spoonful oat in to mouth. “Oh, Applejack old barn was damaged in a storm last week and she had already order a new, bigger version of her old barn to replace it but with Big Mac hard at work, Granny Smith being too frail and Applebloom being too young for the heavy lifting. Me and the girls decided to help out on Sunday, which is today.” Twilight informed Ghost as she put her bowl in the sink. “Oh, that’s nice of you.” Ghost said putting on a small smile. “Um… Ghost?” Twilight asked. “Yeah.” Ghost replied. “I was thinking that if you like to join me and the others?” Twilight said rubbing the back of her head with a hoof. (Inside Ghost’ head) “Well I have nothing do part form research, some manual labor won’t hurt.” Ghost thought to herself. “I don’t see why not, I'm in.” Ghost said with a smirk. “Yes, the more help the better.” Twilight said clapping her front hoofs. Location: Fluttershy’s cottage/ Living room Time: 0753 hours After 10 minutes all of Fluttershy’s animals were feed. As Fluttershy walked into the kitchen, Ice put the bag of animal food back were it belonged, then started walking to the kitchen. The Spartan stopped when something hit him on the back of the head. Ice turned around to see a carrot on the floor next to his feet and looked up to see, a little white bunny with another carrot in its paws. The bunny dropped the carrot and then he pointed to his eyes with a paw then pointed at Ice, as if to say *I’m watching you!*. Ice just turned and made his way in to the kitchen. Location: Fluttershy’s cottage/ kitchen Time: 0753 hours Ice walked in the kitchen to see, Fluttershy was flying around the kitchen, grabbing a frying pan and putting it on the cooker, then lands in front of the fridge, humming to herself as her tail sway left to right. (Inside Fluttershy’s head) What to cook, what to cook? Well, maybe haycakes? Yes he will like them, I hope. Fluttershy thought to herself. Ice just watched Fluttershy has she few round the kitchen, as Ice was watched her he made mentally notes of how Fluttershy was using her wings, like how many times she flaps them, how she angles them to make turns and so on. Ice watched Fluttershy for a few minutes before he turned to look at his own wings. Ice opened up his right wing looked at it, his feathers where a little dirty but no damage. Ice did the same for this right again a little bit of dirt no damage, Ice also saw that on his back was a flew spots of dirt on his fur. Fluttershy poured the fleshly made haycake mix in to the pan. Fluttershy turned her head towards Ice, to see that Ice was looking at his out stretched wings. (Inside Fluttershy’s head) “Oh my…” Fluttershy thought to herself. Fluttershy face went bright crimson as her wings shot out with *poof* sound. Ice turned towards the sound and saw Fluttershy standing there, with her wings out stretched, eyes wide and a blush on her face. “Er… Fluttershy are you ok?” Ice asked folding his wings back to his sides. Fluttershy snapped back to realty and shook her head trying to get her dirty thoughts out of her mind. “I'm… f-fine just… er… if you like your haycakes gold or brown?” Fluttershy said as looked back to the pan. (Inside Ice’s head) “Haycakes probably a horse pun.” Ice thought to himself. “Well I think… er… I’ll have them golden, please.” Ice said remembering that Ghost told him plight to them. Fluttershy turned smiled nodded at Ice. “Ok.” Fluttershy said turning back the pan and flipping the haycake. (After 5 minutes of cooking,) Fluttershy had finished using up all of the haycake mix. (10 haycakes, 5 each) Fluttershy picked up the pan and put it in the sink. When Fluttershy turned around what she saw made her heart skip a beat. What she saw that Ice had set the table up with knifes and forks put next to the plate of haycakes, with a mat underneath the plates. But the bit that Fluttershy was the most surprised at, was that Ice had pull a chair out for her and was waiting of her to sit down. “I thought I could help by setting the table, I hope you don’t mind.” Ice said rubbing the back of this head with a hoof. “No… its f-fine… it ju-s-st that… no stallion… has well…” Fluttershy stopped half way, as she tried to find the right words. Fluttershy took a deep breath and continued. “No stallion has ever been kind me, well adept Big Mac, but in general most stallions just… just… just…” Fluttershy fell to her hunches and started crying as she looked at the ground. Ice quickly made his way over to Fluttershy and pulled her to a hug. Fluttershy continued to cry on to Ice’s solder. (Picture this Fluttershy with her head buried in to Ice’s solder looking down, with her eyes closed with lines of tears running down them and her front hoofs pressed against him. Ice has one foreleg holding the back of her head, the other foreleg hugged her waist just below her wings and his chin gently resting on top her head.) “T-the-y us-e me… ju-st for a laugh, the-y ask me out-t so, they can-n break my heart-t… in f-front of friends… just-t for fun.” Fluttershy said as she continued sobbing. Ice listened to Fluttershy story, know the feeling all too well of being treated like an outcast. A flashback quickly flashed for a second but Ice know the memory well. *Flashback* In space on broad the UNSC Frigate, SS. Hell’s Fist (I don’t know if that’s a ship’s name or not) Location: Mess Hall Time: 1302 (Lunch time) Ghost and Ice finished their Spartan training 2 weeks ago. Now they are being sent in to destroy a Covenant jamming station. Ghost and Ice sat down at one of the tables at the far end of the hall, away form everyone else. Trying to enjoy their meal. but with 100’s pairs of eyes looking and staring at them, made Ice and Ghost tense. Ghost and Ice could hear some of the Marines and ODSTs laughing at them calling them *freaks*, *monsters* and *mutants*. A group of six ODST’s came up to them. “Well, look what we got here boys, two freaks trying take are seats.” One of the ODST said. Ice looked at the group, knowing all too well that the group in front of them was the same group that was sitting at the front of hall on a table with two other groups of HELL JUMPERS. Both Spartans knew that these HELL JUMPERS wanted to make trouble. Ghost and Ice ignored him and eating their meal. “Hey, I was talking to you.” The same ODST yelled. Again Ice and Ghost ignored him. The ODST garb the apple off Ice’s tray and took a bite out of it, then spat bits of apple in to Ice’s face. Ice and Ghost glared at the ODST. “Now I’ve got your attention, I sagest you move or things will get ugly.” The ODST said cracking his knuckles as his ODST buddies laughed. The ODST dropped the half eaten apple on to Ice’s plate, making the mash potato splat all over the table. Ghost and Ice where all out pissed, now. The ODST laughed again, and then reached of the apple on Ghost’s tray. But before he could blink Ghost had grabbed hold of his arm and pull down closer to the table, at the same time Ghost grabbed hold of the back of his head and forced it down, making his face slam against the metal table. The Mess Hall went dead silence. Ghost stood up and lifted the knocked out HELL JUMPER by the back of the head and showed the other five HELL JUMPERS. The ODST’s facial bones were all broken and bloody form being slammed to 2 inch metal table by a super human. “Leave, us, alone.” Ghost said through gritted teeth as she dropped the ODST in her hand. The HELL JUMPERS grabbed their K.O friend run away as Ghost sat back down. *end of flashback* Fluttershy continued crying in to Ice’s solder. Ice had no idea how to deal with this, Ice knew that he was well known for his cold hearted nature, not crying civilians that was in Ghost’s job description. (Inside Ice’s head) “THINK, YOU IDIOT THINK! DO SOMETHING TO MAKE HER HAPPY! ANYTHING!!!!!!” Ice screamed in his mind trying to find an answer. Ice’s eyes scanned around the room trying something that had a clue, to what he should do. A little white rabbit stood in the doorway looking at Ice with a death glare. Ice looked at the rabbit for second before Ice saw a glass vase by the front door with roses in it. Ice using his left wing to point at the vase then looked at the rabbit then back to the vase. The rabbit followed the direction Ice was looking at and saw the roses. The rabbit turned back to Ice with a surprised look on his face. With a paw the rabbit pointed to the roses, Ice used his wing’s feathers to make a thumps up. The rabbit hopped up to the vase and pulled one rose out. Ice watched the rabbit hop towards him but tiptoed up to him and handed the rose in to Ice’s right wing, before the rabbit quickly tiptoed away. Ice moved his wing that had the rose so Fluttershy could see it. With three feathers holding the rose in place, Ice used one of his feathers bush aside some of Fluttershy’s mane away from her eyes. Fluttershy felt her mane being moved, she opened her eyes and looked to the side to see a single rose. Fluttershy’s eyes widened as Ice broke the hug to give her the rose. Fluttershy’s heart was pounding as she adapted the rose in her two front hoofs. Fluttershy looked up from the rose to face Ice. Without thinking, Fluttershy grabbed Ice both sides of the head and pulled him in, at the same time Fluttershy closed her eyes and moved forward planting a kiss on Ice’s lips, as her wings shot out with *poof*. Ice froze as his brain did a back flip at the same time his wings went *poof*. > Chapter 4 A hell of a day... well a hell at sweet apple acres (other half) > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Two Worlds p1 Chapter 4 A hell of a day… well a hell at sweet apple acres (part 2) Location: Fluttershy’s cottage/ kitchen Time: 0755 hours Fluttershy slowly pulled away from Ice with a string of saliva still connected them, and then it broke. Ice just stood there frozen, having no idea what that was or what just happen. Fluttershy move afoot away from Ice and she stood there with her whole face was crimson as she looked at the ground. “What… was… that?” Ice said as his voice trembled. Fluttershy eyes widen as she looked up to him, in shock. “You have ever been kiss before?” Fluttershy asked as she looked at Ice in a new light. Ice shook his head, keeping his eyes locked with Fluttershy’s. “(Gasp) Not ever by your mother?” Fluttershy asked sounding really concerned. Ice’s eyes widen for a second as his ear flattened to the side of his head. “My parents die years ago, when me and Ghost were very young, I can’t remember their names, their faces or the time we spent together, so I don’t really know.” Ice said a little saddened as he looked at the ground, but as anger build up inside because he couldn’t remember. Fluttershy started cowering away as she thought she hit a nerve. “I am sorry… I… I… shouldn’t have said anything… I should have stayed quiet…” Fluttershy continued apologizing at a rapid rate, as she low to the ground and moved away from Ice. Ice looked up from the ground and to Fluttershy. Soon as Ice’s eyes made contact with Fluttershy’s, Fluttershy made a *eep* sound as she dropped to the floor, closed her eyes and put her forelegs over her head. “Please don’t hurt me.” Fluttershy said as she was shaking in fear. Ice felt sadness as he was how terrified she was of him. Ice sighed as walked up to her and laid down next to her. Ice gently put a wing over her. Fluttershy gasped as she felt his wing wrapped around her waist in a gently hug. Fluttershy looked at Ice who looked straight ahead. “I'm not going to hurt you, I'm sorry if I scare you…” Ice looked at Fluttershy. “…and I am not mad at you for the kiss.” Ice said in a gentle tone, trying her calm down and so she was not so scared. Fluttershy blushed she looked away from him. “Ice, can I ask you for something?” Fluttershy said barely a whisper. “Yes, Fluttershy.” Ice asked as he listened. “Ice, can I… um… kiss you, again?” Fluttershy said in a whisper, not able to look at him. Ice looked at Fluttershy in surprise. (Inside Ice’s head) “Well, I don’t see any wrong with it, give her what she wants. It will keep her happy… I hope” Ice thought to himself. (Ice, you are a dumb-ass) “Ok.” Ice informed. Fluttershy looked at Ice surprised at his answer. “W-wh-at?” Fluttershy said blushing deeply. “I said, ok.” Ice informed again. “Ok.” Fluttershy whispered as she moved closer to Ice. “Ok?” Ice replied as he moved closer, as well. Fluttershy closed eyes as her lips meet his. Ice copied her by, closing his eyes and gently lend in to the kiss. Fluttershy let out a small groan in pleasure. After a minute or two, Fluttershy and Ice broke the kiss. Ice and Fluttershy just laid there as enjoying the peace and quiet, until *poof*. Ice looked back at his wings that were out stretched. Ice eyebrows flattened in annoyers, as Fluttershy’s eyes widen as her whole face when crimson as she blushed. *poof* Ice turned to see Fluttershy wings also now stretched. Ice looked towards Fluttershy, and Ice could see that Fluttershy was hiding behind her mane, she had buried her face in to her hoofs and wished she could turn invisible. “Fluttershy?” Ice asked as he sat up. Fluttershy made *eep* sound, as she wished so much she would die from embarrassment. “Miss Fluttershy.” Ice asked again by this time Fluttershy slowly sat up but Fluttershy still continued to hide behind her mane. Ice sighed as he gently bushed Fluttershy’s mane away from her face. Fluttershy tiredly closed her eyes as she felt Ice bush her mane behind her ear. Ice moved his hoof away then Fluttershy face was visible. Ice could clearly see that she was terrified, her head was tilted down with her eyes tiredly closed and her whole body was frozen in fear. “I’ve already told you that, I'm not going to hurt you, Fluttershy can you look at me… please.” Ice said trying to sound as clam as possible. Fluttershy opened her eyes and looked up at him. “I know, but it hard for me.” Fluttershy whispered out. Ice smiled. “Well, it looks like we are going to work around that problem.” Ice said standing up and offering his hoof to her. Fluttershy looked at Ice’s hoof and smiled as she accepted his hoof. Once Fluttershy was back to her feet… or hoofs. Ice spoke up. “So, are we going to try, some of those delicious haycakes.” Ice said gesturing towards the table. “Oh, ok.” Fluttershy said as Ice stood next his chair waiting for her to sit down first. After Fluttershy sat down Ice pulled his chair and sat the other end of the table facing her. “So ladies first.” Ice said remember the one and golden rule that Ghost tort him. (A.K.A she beat it in to him) Fluttershy smiled at him as she picked up a folk with a wing, Ice watched careful how Fluttershy was holding her folk as he tried copying her. With a ton of luck Ice was able to pick up the folk normally and was able to pick a bite size piece, (again a shit ton of luck) he was able to put it in his mouth, without dropping it. After 2 minutes of eating Ice spoke up. “Fluttershy, may I ask you a question?” Ice asked as Fluttershy swallowed her mouthful. “Oh, ok.” Fluttershy said with a smile and an eyebrow raised. “I just want to know, why does my wings go… well… er… stiff?” Ice asked trying to find the right words. Fluttershy went straight to crimson in half a second as her brains windows 7 crashed showing the blue screen of death. (PROBLEM?) “W-wh-hat?” Fluttershy asked unsure if she heard Ice right. “Why do my wings go stiff?” Ice clam repeated himself. Fluttershy had no idea how to explain it… well she did but to so embarrassing. (Inside Fluttershy’s head) “Oh my how do I explain this to him, shouldn’t he know already… but the in forest he could have got amnesia or lost memory or something. How do I explain this?” *sound of a light bulb turning on* “Well I have a book on pony biology, I could show him that… yeah that sound a lot better… than… me… explaining… oh my.” Fluttershy sat there thinking for a few seconds, before she made up her mind. “Ice, how about I show you a book on pony biology.” Fluttershy said very quickly as her face went beet red. Ice just cocked an eyebrow in confusion. “Oh, ok I will take look.” Ice said as ate his last mouthful of his last haycake. After Fluttershy finished her haycakes, Ice quickly spoke up. “Don’t worry, I’ve got it.” Ice said as walked over to Fluttershy and started to pick her plate. “Oh, it’s ok…” Fluttershy started but Ice cut her off. “You have given me a place to sleep and you made breakfast, the least I could is wash up.” Ice said as he looked Fluttershy directly in the eye, showing her that he was not going to take no for an answer. “Oh…um ok… thank you, Ice.” Fluttershy mumbled out as she blushed deeply. As Ice collected the plates with knives and forks, and placed them in the sink, Fluttershy thought it would be a good idea to find the book so started to make her way to the living room. Fluttershy walked out of the kitchen in to her living room. Location: Ponyville market (from Ponyville to S.A.A.) Time: 0817 hours Twilight and Ghost walked through Ponyville as Twilight pointed things out to Ghost like roads to areas of the town, shops and she tells Ghost what they sell. Twilight and Ghost were half way walking through Ponyville’s Market, (the only place in the town that as cobblestone floor) until someone wolf whistles braking Ghost and Twilight form their conisation. Twilight and Ghost turn their heads to see who is was. “Oh, no.” Twilight said in a sad / annoyed tone. Ghost could tell form Twilight’s facial expression and her tone of voice, that these three stallions are bad news or a royal pain in the neck. All three of them were Pegasus an orange one with a brown mane and tail, a brown one with a cream mane and tail, and a gray one with a black mane and tail. “Well hey there sexy flank.” The brown one said looking directly at Ghost. Ghost cocked an eye brow. “Are you talking to me?” Ghost asked with little hint of anger in her voice. Twilight backed away from Ghost in fear of don’t knowing what Ghost would do. “Yeah, we are talking to you sweet cheeks.” The orange one said giving Ghost a wink. Ghost gritted her teeth at the word sweet cheek. “So what’s your name beautiful?” The gray one asked. Ghost so badly wanted kill all three of them. Twilight backed up from Ghost a little more. “Ghost!” Ghost reply through gritted teeth and venom dripping from the word. But sadly the three num skulls didn’t pick up on that. “Ghost, that’s a gorgeous name sweet cheeks.” The gray one said doing a sad attempt trying to woo Ghost. Ghost had heard enough, she raised one of her fore hoofs and slammed it, to the ground making the cobblestone floor crack. The whole market went dead silent. The air thick as everypony eyes looked towards Ghost and the three Pegasus. “Leave, me, alone.” Ghost demanded in a calm and forcefully tone as she glared them down. All three Pegasus looked at each other then back at Ghost. “Well it looks like we got a mare that likes to play rough.” The brown one said to his friends. His friends laughed. “Listen sweet cheeks, you are going to mate with us or else!” The brown one demanded as he and his friends flared their wings and took a step forward. Ghost saw as some kind of pony attack stands. “Ghost you should do what they say.” Twilight whispered to Ghost. Ghost looked at Twilight from the corner of her eye, then she looked back at the three Pegasus. “Fuck no! I am not going to be their sex toy!” Ghost said through gritted teeth. Ghost took a step forward and ready herself for a fight. The brown one smirked and nodded to the gray one. The gray one nodded back then charged at Ghost, and jumped at her in his attempt to grab her. Ghost bitch slapped him with her right hoof, sending him straight in to a market stall. The cart exploded in to 1000’s of splinters form his body impacting on it. The two stallions looked at their friend form where they stood frozen in fear. They slowly turned their heads and looked at Ghost, who was standing there with no emotion present on her face as she slowly put her hoof back on the ground. The brown one mood changed very quickly as he went from fear to angry and glared death at her, as of the orange one was shacking in fear and trying to put on a brave face. “You MOTHER BUCKING BITCH, your goner pay for what you did to Score!” The brown one yelled pointing a hoof at Ghost. “Dumbbell, we should go.” The orange one said. The brown one that Ghost now knows is called Dumbbell, glared at his friend. “NO! Together Hoops we can beat her and make her suffer!” Dumbbell said to Hoops through gritted teeth as he continued to glare death at Ghost. Hoops was unsure at first but soon followed Dumbbell’s lead. Both Dumbbell and Hoops sprinted at Ghost. Ghost smirked as she readied herself. Dumbbell jumped up as he tried to slam his fore hoofs in to Ghost as Hoops tried head butting her. Ghost moved to the side at the last second, dodging both of the attacks. Hoops and Dumbbell both crashed in to each other and landed in a hep on the floor. Ghost gave off an evil smile as she quickly grabbed Hoops’s and Dumbbell’s tails with her teeth. With one quick toss Ghost throw both stallions through the shop window. With a crash and the screams of pain form the stallions as the shards of glass cut their skin and dug in to their flesh, Ghost smiled knowing all too well that the job was done. Ghost turned towards Twilight how was mouth agape staring at her in shock. Ghost looked back at the shop thinking if she should make the stallions in to her personal punching bag, but Ghost shook her head as she turned back towards Twilight. “Can we continue our journey to Sweet Apple Acres?” Ghost asked. Twilight nodded her head slowly as she turned and continued the journey towards Sweet Apple Acres with Ghost following her, leaving the market with everypony there shitting bricks out of fear of Ghost. Location: Fluttershy’s cottage/ Living room Time: 0809 hours Fluttershy looked at her bookcase for a couple of minutes trying to find the book. With a little help from Angel, Fluttershy found it, picked it up with a wing and walked back to the kitchen with Angel. The site in front of them was… drop dead funny. Ice was trying to wash up but he was failing miserably. He kept dropping the sponge, couldn’t get hold of the plates and kept dropping them back in to the water, making the water splash back in to his face getting bubbles in his mane. Fluttershy could help but giggle and as Angel he couldn’t breathe because he laughing so hard. Ice turned around looked at the two laughing away at his misfortune. Ice smirked a little. Once Fluttershy was able to compose herself, she walked over to Ice. “Ice, I think I should wash up.” Fluttershy said give Ice a resurging smile. Ice nodded as Fluttershy gave him a towel and the book. “Sorry, Fluttershy… I guess I'm not cut out for this civilian thing.” Ice said as he put the book on the side and started to his face with the towel. Fluttershy put the plate she was cleaning on the drying-rack and looked at Ice. “It must… be very hard you… to… well, get use to a new environment.” Fluttershy said sounding a little sympathy. (Inside Ice’s head) “You got no idea how close you are Fluttershy.” Ice thought as he finished drying his face and mane. “Yeah, being in the military of so many years, I’ve kinder… forgotten how to be… well, normal. So to speak.” Ice said putting the towel on the side. Fluttershy looked it Ice trying understanding him. “I'm sorry.” Fluttershy whispered as she looked down. “Can we please change the topic?” Ice asked. Fluttershy looked back up him. “Oh ok. Maybe you read the book.” Fluttershy said as she gestured towards the book. Ice looked toward the book then back Fluttershy. “I think that’s, a good idea.” Ice said pick the book off the side and started to head towards the living room. Fluttershy smiled. “Chapter 7, page 56.” Fluttershy said as she continued washing up. Ice stopped and turned towards her. “Ok, thank you. And guessing you have good memory?” Ice said as his Spartan trained mind picked up how Fluttershy could memorise that specific page number. Fluttershy stopped suddenly like a dear stuck in head-lights. She turned head towards Ice. Ice could see that fear and confusion as written on her face. “Yes… I have… excitant… memory, is that…bad.” Fluttershy asked cowering away a bit. Ice shook his head. “No it’s not bad. I was complementing you Fluttershy.” Ice said as he smiled and as an eyebrow rose. Straight away Fluttershy felt really sheepish and as she blushed badly. “Oh… thank you.” Fluttershy said as her face continued to blushing. Ice nodded and walked back the living room as Fluttershy when back to washing up. Location: The path to Sweet Apple Acres (from Ponyville to S.A.A.) Time: 0826 hours Ghost and Twilight’s walk to Sweet Apple Acres was uneventful after all that had happened in Ponyville. Twilight continued walking with a very pissed off Ghost walking behind her. Twilight made sure not to said anything because the look on Ghost’s face more or less said *one word and I will murder your whole family*. So Twilight kept her mouth shut. Then Twilight and Ghost made it to Sweet Apple Acres, Twilight gulped before speaking up. “Well… here we are… Sweet Apple Acres.” Twilight said to a half whisper as she pointed at the overhead sign. Ghost looked up to were Twilight was pointing and as Twilight said the sign read *welcome to Sweet Apple Acres*. Ghost looked at Twilight and was the fear in Twilight’s face hidden behind a fake smile. Ghost sighed as she looked towards the ground. “Twilight, you don’t have to be afraid of me.” Ghost said as she started to calm down. “Sorry, Ghost but what you told Spike last night about what you are and what can do, I'm just little worried. You know about making you up set.” Twilight said as she rubbed her foreleg and blushed in embarrassment. Ghost started laughing. “You think that super soldier with years of training wouldn’t be trained to restrain ourselves from hurting civilians." Ghost said as she continued laughing. Twilight stood there dumfounded for a few seconds before she face-hoofed. Ghost continued laughing as Twilight removed her hoof from her face. “But, what about Hoops, Dumbbell and Score?” Twilight asked in shock as she pointed towards Ponyville. Ghost stopped laughing but still had a large smile on her. “Form the way you acted around them and every other mare the market, plus the books I read at the library. I know that if a male wants to fuck a mare he fucks a mare one way or another. Ever that be wooing them or forcing them. So I beat the living carp out of them, so they will get the message that I'm not available.” Ghost said with a smirk. “Ghost, that… well… I… err.” Twilight tried saying something but she was completely lost of words. Ghost laughed at Twilight’s dumbfounded expression. Soon Twilight joined in started laughing with Ghost. After a minute both Ghost and Twilight laughter died down, but both of kept a smile on their faces. “Well that has made my day, so should go and find Applejack?” Ghost said jested with a hoof toward the apple orchard. Twilight smiled as she nodded a yes and took the lead as they made their way towards the big red barn. Location: The path to Sweet Apple Acres (from Fluttershy’s cottage to S.A.A.) Time: 0834 hours Fluttershy and Ice walked in dead silent but with the occasional gallants at each other. Fluttershy walked a little ahead of Ice as she led the way as a very flustered, annoyed and confused Ice walked behind, off to her left. Fluttershy swayed her hips hoping to get Ice attention. Ice had to constantly pull his eyes away from Fluttershy’s rump to look at the path. (Inside Ice’s head) “FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCKKKKKKKKKK! This is fucking bullshit, she deliberately shaking her… FUCKING WINGS! Why does this shit always happen to me?” Ice mentally cursed as his wings shot out fully erected. Fluttershy looked behind her to Ice looking at his wings and trying to fold his wings back down. Fluttershy smiled. (Inside Fluttershy’s head) “Well, it good that gets his attention plus he could find me attractive.” Fluttershy thought to herself as she smiled knowing her adepts of wooing Ice, could be working but then again it could be her after heat period talking over. Fluttershy looked towards the path as Ice followed behind still trying to get his wings under control. After a few second later, Ice got his wings under control then looked at Fluttershy. 4 minutes of walking later Fluttershy and Ice had made it to the front an overhead sign that read *welcome to Sweet Apple Acres*. “Well here we are.” Fluttershy said as pointed at the over-head sign. Ice looked up to the sign then back to Fluttershy. “Ok, were would Applejack be?” Ice asked as he looked around and saw how large the orchard was. “Oh Applejack is probably at the barn.” Fluttershy said pointing a hoof towards the red barn off in the distant. Ice nodded as Fluttershy took the lead again. Location: Sweet Apple Acres / outside the barn Time: 0829 hours Ghost stood front for the barn as she looked it over. The damage Twilight spook of was bad. There was large burn marks all over it, form what Ghost could tell the barn’s metal roof and the barn being on a high hill, with these adding to together equalled that the barn was a high lightning target. Ghost looked at the damage more closely, she could see that the metal roof had melted form were the lightning bolts hit, and the metal round it was chard and cracked. The wooden walls had cracked and splintered form the force of the lightning bolts. In some points Ghost could see that some areas had court fire. Ghost continued looking at the damage as she started walking round the barn taking every detail. (Over with the girls) Twilight, Applejack, Rainbow Dash and Rarity were all in a huddle talking as Pinkie was just hopping around the group for no reason. “So Twilight, did Ghost really beat up Hoops, Dumbbell and Score single hoofed?” Rainbow asked Twilight as Rainbow’s eye darted back to Ghost then back to Twilight. Twilight nodded her head. “Yes she did, but she moved so fast and she was so strong. I mean Ghost back hoofed (aka bitch-slap) Score sending a full grown stallion straight in to a cart, like if it was nothing. And there’s also the fact she tossed Dumbbell and Hoops through and shop window.” Twilight said looking a little worried. Rarity looked over at Ghost then back to the others. “I must said, Ghost dose have a lot of muscles of a mare her size.” Rarity said as she looked at Applejack and Rainbow Dash. “Come to think of it I think Ghost as more muscles that Applejack and Rainbow Dash combined.” Rarity said as she put a hoof to her chin. Rainbow scalowed at Rarity as Applejack looked at Ghost. “I guess your right Rarity.” Applejack said as looked at Ghost and seeing the layers and layers of muscles Ghost has on her. Rainbow looked at Applejack like if she had gone crazy. “How could you said that Applejack. I bet 50 bits that I could beat Ghost in an Iron Pony competition.” Rainbow said she puffed out her chest proudly. Applejack was going to protest back but Pinkie cut her off. “Hi Fluttershy. Hi Ice.” Pinkie yelled and waved as she saw the two make their way to the group. Twilight, Rarity, Applejack, Rainbow and Ghost turned towards Fluttershy and Ice. Ghost walked over to the group as Fluttershy and Ice joined the others. “Ghost.” Ice said with nod towards Ghost. “Ice.” Ghost said back with as she nodded her head once towards him. Ghost turned her head towards Fluttershy and smiled. “Morning, Fluttershy. I hope my brother was not too much trouble.” Ghost said with a smirk. Ice glared at Ghost as Fluttershy blushed. “N-no he wasn’t. He was the nicest stallion I’ve met.” Fluttershy said looking down, as she made little circles in the dirt with the tip of her hoof. Ghost looked at Ice and smirked at him as Ice’s wings shot out. Ghost, Pinkie and Rainbow started snickering, as Twilight and Fluttershy blushed, as Rarity and Applejack gave Ice questionable looks but for poor Ice was starting to run out of curse words that he could mentally scream. “Not a word.” Ice said through gritted teeth glaring at Ghost. Ghost burst out laughing as Rainbow and Pinkie soon followed braking out in to uncontrollable laughing fits of their own. Ice glared death at them as he started to walk to an apple tree and smacked his face against it once. All the girls cringe a bit as Ice’s wings fell flat and as he tucked them to his sides. “Well that’s one way to kill a wing-boner.” Rainbow said as she still had hold of her ribs form the laughing fit as Ice rejoined the group. Applejack cleaned her throat, making everyone look towards her. “I think we could the fun and games for now and get to work tearing down this barn.” Applejack said as she jested towards the burn with her head. Twilight, Rarity, Pinkie, Rainbow, Fluttershy, Ice and Ghost nodded they heads in unison. “Applejack do you mind me asking but what are you going to do with the wood form the old barn?” Ghost asked Applejack. Applejack gave Ghost a smile. “Well, are going to use the wood as just spare wood or fire wood, more or less.” Applejack said informing Ghost. “So it doesn’t matter if the wood was just splinters.” Ghost asked. Applejack shook her head. “Ok, Ice.” Ghost said as she looked towards him as she started walking towards the barn. Ice just nodded and started walking as he followed Ghost. Ice and Ghost stopped a good 30 meters away from the front of the barn. “I would stand back if I was you.” Ghost said as looked at the girls. Everyone gave Ghost confused looks as tried it work out what was happening. Ghost pointed a hoof at the barn as Ice nodded. Ice positioned himself at the barn’s entrance and bent down slightly, before breaking into sprint towards the wooden building. Twilight: “WHAT ARE YOU DOING?” Applejack: “STOP, DOING WHAT YOU ARE DOING!” Rarity: “YOUR GOING TO HURT YOURSELF!” Rainbow: “How fast is he going?” Pinkie: “LOOK AT HIM GO!” Fluttershy: “ICE!” Both Ghost and Ice ignored the confused cried of the girls, and by the time Ice reached the barn he was running at over 50 kilometres per hour. Needless to say, he burst through the wooden wall like it was paper. Shards of wood flew in every direction as he redirected himself to hit the right side load bearing portions of the architecture and smashed out back then making a u-turn he smashed through the back side and hit the left side load bearing portions. Bit by bit, the interior of the barn became covered with shattered wood as Ice continued to tear it apart. The building groaned in protest before collapsing in on itself as Ice just made it out of the barn’s entrance in time as the barn crashed down behind him. The girls could only stare in horror as the barn fell with a crash. Shielding their eyes from the cloud of dust that rose from the ceiling’s impact, and the sound of coughing from the girls that inhaled some of the dust. After rubbing their teary eyes, they looked upon the pile of red and white timber that had once been her barn. Spear-like, shattered two by fours jutted dangerously from the pile, and the western wall, which astoundingly had still managed to stay up, finally fell on top of the pile of rubble from lack of support. Once the final portion of the barn had fallen, a silence permeated across the farm stead. The only noise that could be heard was the ruffling of nearby leaves in the wind, the flapping sound of Rainbow’s wings and the windmill which squeaked every time it rotated. It was like that for a couple of seconds before a *Thud* sound was made as Fluttershy fainted. “Ok, barn down. So Applejack where do you what the wood scraps.” Ghost said looking at Applejack as she jested towards the barn with a hoof. Ice started dusting himself off, trying to get all the splinters out of his mane and tail. The Girls only continued to stare at Ghost and Ice in horror. Ghost looked at Ice with a confused look, as Ice just shrugged as he continued pulling bit of wood from his feathers. Ghost looked back at the girls. This continued of a minute or two. “WHAT IN CELESTIA’S NAME WERE YOU THINKING?” Twilight yelled breaking the silence. Ghost and Ice were taken aback from Twilight’s outburst. The rest of the main six snapped out of their little traces and jumped back form Twilight. Twilight looked around and saw that everypony had their eyes fixed on her and blushed a little form her little outburst. Ghost looked over at the pile of wood at was a barn then back to the group. “I think we over did it, Ice.” Ghost Said looking at Ice. Ice gave off an awkward smiled as he rubbed the back of his head with a hoof. “Maybe I should have used an axe.” Ice said as he walked over the pile of wood then he pointed at Fluttershy. “And also as none of you girl noticed that Fluttershy as fainted.” Ice finished lowering his hoof. The girls looked behind them at Fluttershy. “Rarity can you take Fluttershy inside and check if she ok.” Twilight said to Rarity nodded as she gently picked Fluttershy unconscious body up in her magic and made her way to the house. Everyone watched as Fluttershy and Rarity headed towards the Apple family’s home. After a minute or two, Applejack cleared her throat making everyone look towards her. “I think should start moving what’s is left of the barn and put it next to the storage house.” Applejack said informing everyone. Ghost, Ice, Rainbow and Pinkie nodded as Twilight looked back towards the house that Rarity took Fluttershy to, but Twilight nodded her head knowing that Fluttershy was in good hoofs. “Ok Applejack where is this storage house?” Ghost asked as she walked over to the pile wood. As Ice picked up several large and heavy pieces of wood and put on his back. “It’s in the west field next to the corn field.” Applejack said as she started walking over to the pile. Ghost looked towards the corn field off in the distant about 300 to 350 meters away or so and saw a large dark brown building next to the corn field. Ghost didn’t mind, she knew that herself and Ice could easily carry 4 or 5 tons if they needed to (Hell they can flip a Fucking Scorpion Tank) so to her and Ice this was too easy. It was going to be a long day ahead for Ghost, Ice, Twilight, Applejack, Rainbow Dash and Pinkie. Location: Sweet Apple Acres / Inside the Apple family’s home / living room. Time: 1357 hours “Like another tea dearly?” Granny Smith called to Rarity form the kitchen as she continued make Apple pies to sell at the market. Granny Smith was an elderly grass green, earth pony with a gray mane and tail. “Oh, no thank you!” Rarity called back from the living room as she watched over Fluttershy waiting for her to wake up. Rarity sighed as she looked towards the old grandfather that sat at the opposite end of the room. “It has been 7 ½ hours. Bless the stars it has been that long.” Rarity said to herself, finely looked at the clock and forgetting the dress designs that she had been drawing in her little A5 sketch pad that she always carried around with her. Rarity looked back at Fluttershy who was still asleep. Rarity stood up form were she was sitting and walked over to the window. Rarity could just see the front, back and the east wall of the barn was complete and the west side wall was being nailed on to the wooden Skelton plank by plank, with red coloured planks of wood. Rarity sighed as she felt guilty of not being out there helping build the barn but she to make sure that Fluttershy was right. The groaning sound made Rarity look back behind her to see that Fluttershy was slowly waking up. Rarity made her way over Fluttershy as slowly opened her eyes. When Fluttershy open her eyes to see Rarity. “Oh Fluttershy darling, you’re finely awake.” Rarity said as she gently put a hoof on Fluttershy’s solder. “Rarity... what happened? And why does my head hurt?” Fluttershy asked as she was very confused. Rarity moved her hoof away as Fluttershy sat up. Fluttershy groaned again as she rubbed the side of her head. “Well darling you kinder fainted and I’m guessing you hit your head when you fainted.” Rarity said as she gave Fluttershy a sheepish smile. “Oh ok… so what happened?” Fluttershy asked as she tried to think through the headache she had. “Well Ice ran through the barn and destroyed it and then you fainted. From there I took you inside were me and Granny Smith have watched over you, waiting for you to wake up.” Rarity said as Granny Smith walked in. “Well it good to see you young’en.” Granny Smith said as walked over to Fluttershy and Rarity. “Oh sorry, Granny Smith I didn’t mean to be a burden.” Fluttershy said to Granny Smith as she continued wishing the headache would go away. “It’s nothing.” Granny Smith said as she waved a hoof off dismisfully. Fluttershy smiled a little as her head continued pounding. Rarity sat down next to Fluttershy on the sofa as Granny Smith gave Fluttershy a questioning look. “Is there something on your mind dearly?” Granny Smith asked Fluttershy as Granny Smith put a hoof to her chin trying to work it out herself. Fluttershy’s eyes widen a little as was hoping that she wouldn’t find out her crush on Ice. “Oh no… n-nothing is on my m-mind.” Fluttershy said in a panicked tone as she gave a sheepish smile but on the plus side Fluttershy no longer had a headache. (Thank you law-breaking cartoon physics) “Fluttershy are you sure you are ok?” Rarity asked noticing Fluttershy panicked tone and the worried look on her face. “If there’s something wrong dearly, you really talk to somepony about it.” Granny Smith said as she rested a hoof on Fluttershy’s solder. Fluttershy looked down at the floor with a downcast look on her face as Granny Smith continued. “It not healthy to keep it bottled up young’en.” Granny Smith finished with a gently smile. Fluttershy looked up at Granny Smith knowing all too well that she was right. Granny Smith removed her hoof and took a step back. “Don’t worry Fluttershy, I’m sure I can help you in any way I can.” Rarity said as she smiled. Fluttershy looked over at Rarity and saw Rarity giving her an encouraging smile, showing her that Rarity is here to help. Talking in a deep breath Fluttershy readied herself. “I think… I’m… in love… with… I-I-Ice.” Fluttershy whispered out as she hid her bright red face with her mane. Granny Smith and Rarity blinded one as in they had no idea what Fluttershy said. “Fluttershy can please say that again and a little louder.” Rarity asked as calmly as she could. Fluttershy took another deep breath. “I think I’m in love with Ice.” Fluttershy whispered out again as she continued to hind behind her mane. Granny Smith and Rarity blinded again as they had no idea what the heck Fluttershy saying. “Can you please repeat that dearly?” Granny Smith asked with a gently smile. Fluttershy again took another deep breath but instead of being calm about it Fluttershy panicked. “I THINK I’M IN LOVE WITH ICE!” Fluttershy blurted out, only wanting to get it over and done with. The room was silence of a couple of seconds, until it was broken by three fillies. Sweetie bell: “YAY! Fluttershy, as a special somepony.” Scootaloo: “Gross.” Applebloom: “Scootaloo!” Rarity, Granny Smith and Fluttershy whipped their heads towards the living room door to see three fillies Applebloom, Sweetie Bell and Scootaloo standing there in the doorway, but it was not them that Fluttershy and Rarity were worried about. It was the pony behind the fillies. Ghost just stood there of a few seconds as what Fluttershy just said hit her. Soon as Ghost brain was able to confirm of what has heard, Ghost’s shocked expression quickly turned in to a deadly glare. “Girls, can you go upstairs.” Ghost asked the three fillies as she continued glaring at Fluttershy. The girls looked at Ghost. “Do we have to?” Sweetie Bell asked giving big puppy eyes. Ghost looked down at the trio. “Yes, now please go.” Ghost said in a firm tone. All three fillies sadly looked down a little as Sweetie Bell’s deadly puppy eye trick had no affect on Ghost. “Ok.” All three of them said in unison as they started to walk to the stairs. Rarity glared at Ghost at the way Ghost spoke to the fillies and was about to say something but Ghost spoke first. “But if you girls don’t ears-drop I will help you find your cutie… marks?” Ghost said putting on a smile as she struggled to remember what a cutie mark is. “YAY!” The trio yelled in unison as they ran up the stairs. So Ghost was sure the girls were up stairs, Ghost turned her attention towards the mares in the living room. Granny Smith gave Ghost an understand nod and started to walk out of the living room. “I’ll make sure the little young’ens don’t hear anything.” Granny Smith said as she walked past Ghost. “Thank you ma’am.” Ghost said with a nod. Granny Smith smiled as she headed towards the stairs. Ghost turned back towards Fluttershy and Rarity. Fluttershy was cowering away, shaking in fear and Rarity was giving Ghost a questioning and angry glare. Ghost let out a sigh. “Fluttershy we need to talk.” Ghost said as she walked in to the room. Rarity watched Ghost, as she sat down next to Fluttershy on the sofa. (Inside Rarity’s head) “Ghost is being firm but at the same time calm? Maybe I should stay out of this but I must see were Ghost is going with this.” Rarity thought to herself as she sat in the in the armchair across the room. Fluttershy looked up at Ghost and was her sitting on the sofa and Ghost was not looking at her, just stared off at the other side of the room, being very calm about the whole thing. “Fluttershy I'm not mad or angry, I'm just surprised that all and not really know to react to is.” Ghost said as she continued looking at the wall. Fluttershy slowly started stop shaking and listen to Ghost. “Look my brother is all the family I have left, and I will do anything to keep him alive.” Ghost finished as she looked directly at Fluttershy. Fluttershy looked up at only feeling the sadness in Ghost’s eyes. “And I’m guessing that Ice didn’t tell you about us… as in not form this world or planet.” Ghost said as she gestured to the world around her with a hoof. Fluttershy sat up and looked completely confused. “No.” Fluttershy answered as she tiled her head to side and an eyebrow rose. Ghost very quickly told Fluttershy about humanity, the Covenant, the war, the Spartan program, how she and Ice got to Equestria and that she also told the others about it. “… and you know the rest.” Ghost finished looking directly at Fluttershy. Fluttershy had tears running down her cheeks as she tried not to imagine all the pain and suffering that Ice and Ghost have gone through. “Rarity… is t-this… t-truth?” Fluttershy asked as started sobbing. Rarity wiped a tear away from her eye before answering. “Yes Fluttershy, its all truth. Applejack confirmed this yesterday.” Rarity said as she looked directly at Fluttershy. Fluttershy continued sobbing as Ghost putted her in to a hug. “I'm-m-m… so… s-s-s-sorry, G-Ghost. S-S-So sorry-y-y.” Fluttershy was just able to make out as she continued sobbing to in Ghost’s solder. “It’s ok. It’s ok.” Ghost said in a clam tone as she gently patted Fluttershy’s back. Fluttershy pulled away, baking the hug and looked at Ghost directly in to her eyes. “How can it be ok? You and Ice lost your home, your family, everything to those monsters.” Fluttershy said as the tears continued to fall down her cheeks. “Because the past is in the past. No-one can go back in time change that.” Ghost said as she looked out the window towards the barn seeing Ice and the others talking to each other, as all of them looked at the barn, and it looked like Twilight was telling everyone a plan of how get the roof on. Fluttershy looked down at the floor. “I guess your right.” Fluttershy said as she wiped her tears away. Ghost just nodded her head as she looked back towards Fluttershy. It was silence of a couple of a minute or two, until Ghost broke the silence. “So how did you fall for Ice?” Ghost asked Fluttershy with a smirk. Fluttershy blushed deeply as she tried not to look Ghost in the eyes. Rarity moved forward a little on the armchair as her interest peaked a little, as Rarity loved a bit of gossip. “Well… it… umm… started yesterday… er… I mean it happened… when we found you and Ice.” Fluttershy said as she started to get very, very flustered at the conisation but Fluttershy continued. “Well… umm… Ice is a handsome stallion, and that I was also on the last day of my heat cycle, so that… Ghost do you know what a heat cycle is?” Fluttershy asked Ghost as Fluttershy remembered that Ghost is not this world and would probability not know what a heat cycle is. “Yes, I know what a cycle is, and before you ask I learnt it by reading some books at Twilight’s library this morning.” Ghost said with a smirk. “Well you know what a heat cycle is but you probability don’t know what it does to a mare’s emotions. So what do you know and I will try to fill some of the gaps.” Rarity said willing to help inform Ghost. “Rarity, I have some idea, like the fact that heat last two weeks, these also a one week “after heat” period, when a mare is in heat, her hormons levels are increst by 80% making the mare have sex on the brain for all 3 weeks but the after heat period is not so bad as the first 2 weeks.” Ghost said as she tried to recall all the information she could form the Twilight’s books. “Yes that right but Ghost you see a lot of mares can ignore their after heat but some mares like Fluttershy still continue to have their emotions run wild, until the after heat ends.” Rarity said as Ghost looked towards Fluttershy. Fluttershy looked down trying to hind, her blush form Ghost as she nervously tapped her front hoofs together. “So Fluttershy you are on your after heat period then?” Ghost asked as Fluttershy just nodded a yes. Ghost looked back at Rarity. “So are you and the others on your after heat period?” Ghost asked as she rubbed the back of her head with a hoof. “Well no, me and the others after heat finished yesterday.” Rarity informed Ghost. Ghost had a confused look on her face. “So why is Fluttershy on her after heat if heat season is finished?” Ghost asked as she looked at Fluttershy. Fluttershy blushed as looked up towards Ghost. “Well… I’m a… week late bloomer.” Fluttershy whispered. Ghost put the pieces together and just smiled. “Well that would explain so much.” Ghost said with a sigh of relief. “Yes Fluttershy dearly is in her after heat period, so Fluttershy will have trouble to think clearly, so in other words Fluttershy’s little church is doubled to full love for Ice.” Rarity said add on more information. “Well to tell you the truth, I really don’t mind.” Ghost said as she gave Fluttershy and Rarity a smile. “Really you don’t mind me loving Ice?” Fluttershy asked as her sprits lifted. Rarity looked at Ghost with a kind and gently smile across her lips. “Well, I do what the best for my brother and you have your heart set on him. So I'm not going to stop you from finding happiness and it mind make my brother happy as well.” Ghost said looking directly at Fluttershy. Fluttershy was so filled with quickly gave Ghost a bone churching bear hug. “Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.” Fluttershy said as she continued hugged in happiness. Ghost just smiled as Fluttershy continued hugging Ghost. It was like this for several seconds before Ghost spoke up. “Fluttershy you can let go now.” Ghost said as Fluttershy just realised what she was doing. “I'm so sorry Ghost.” Fluttershy said as she relisted Ghost backed a good meter away form her. “It’s ok Fluttershy. Anyway Rarity are you ok with this?” Ghost asked Rarity. “I will support Fluttershy who ever she falls for.” Rarity said putting a hoof to her chest as if she was making an oath. Fluttershy swilled in pure happiness as she so glad to have such supporting friends. “So should we head out to the others?” Ghost asked as she looked back to the others who just finished putting on the roof. Both Rarity and Fluttershy nodded as they made their way to the front door. Location: Sweet Apple Acres / outside the barn Time: 1459 hours “Ok that’s the last nail.” Rainbow called down from the roof, as she and Ice just finished nailing on the last metal sheet. “Ok, can both clean up any extra pieces of metal sheets and nails, then come down here?” Applejack called up to them. “Roger that.” Ice called down as he started putting the extra nails back in to the box. As Rainbow and Ice continued working in silence, until Rainbow spoke up. “So Ice. I know we haven’t spoken much senes we first found you and Ghost, I would like hang out to get to know each other a little better.” Rainbow asked as she struggled to get the words out. Ice looked up Rainbow with a *What The Fuck* look on his face. “Are you hitting on me?” Ice asked with an eyebrow raised. “What, no! I’m just trying to be friendly.” Rainbow said with glare and with a small blush on her cheeks. “Oh, sorry. Maybe in the future you should word your sentences better, so it didn’t sound like a pick up line.” Ice said giving Rainbow a smirk. Rainbow continued to glare at Ice for few more seconds and then she laughed a little bit. “Good one.” Rainbow said with a bit of sarcasm. Ice just rolled his eyes as he went back to put nails away. “So, do you what to hang out some time.” Rainbow said with a friendly smile. Ice looked back up to Rainbow. “Sure, I don’t see why not.” Ice said with a smile. “Ok, thank you.” Rainbow said with a nod of her head and a flap of her wings, as she got back to work. A minute later Ice and Rainbow had finished cleaning the roof and few back to the ground, with Rainbow carrying all the boxes of nails and the all the tools, as Ice carried the extra pieces of metal sheets down with him. Rainbow landed with grace and for Ice he landed with… *Thud* …on his face. “Fuck.” Ice muttered in to the dirt. Rainbow looked over to Ice to see him spread out like a star fish, with his face in bedded in to the dirt. Rainbow started laughing at Ice’s misfortune. “You know that, you are sirpost to use your wings.” Rainbow said through her laughter. But Rainbow stopped when she noticed something off. “Ice weren’t you carrying 5 sheets of…” but Rainbow was cut off as the 5th sheet of metal landed on Ice with a *SLAM*, leaving a star fish indent of a Pegas. “Fuck hell!” Ice muttered in to dirt and form under the sheet of metal. Rainbow lifted the sheet off of Ice. Once the sheet of metal was off of Ice, Rainbow could clearly see that Ice was pissed off. “That looked painful.” Ghost yelled as she came running over with Fluttershy and Rarity to the left and right of her. Once Ghost, Fluttershy and Rarity where there, Fluttershy went straight to Ice’s side. “Are hurt Ice?” Fluttershy said has she nuzzled his neck. Ice blushed form the attention. “I'm ok. Just give me second.” Ice said calmly as he slowly stood up as Fluttershy and Ghost helped him up. Once Ice was up he stretched his aching back making his spine crack and pop all the girls cringe a bit, minis Ghost. “You, ok bro?” Ghost asked as she looked Ice over trying to see if there were any visible injuries. “I'm fine, just a bit sore.” Ice said looking at Ghost as she gave nod in understanding. “I'm so glad that you are alright.” Fluttershy said as she nuzzled in to Ice’s chest, making Ice blush badly. Ghost coughed in to her hoof making Fluttershy back up away from Ice with a deep blush on her face. Ice just stood there for a few seconds before shaking his head quickly get him out of his little trans. “Sorry.” Fluttershy whispered as she looked away from Ice and looked towards Ghost. “Am I missing something here?” Rainbow asked as looked back and forth between Ice and Fluttershy. Rarity looked to the side as Applejack, Pinkie and Twilight came round the corner to see what was that sound was. “What happened?” Twilight asked as she looked at everypony. “Everything is fine now Twilight, Ice just forgot to use is wings.” Ghost said as she gestured towards Ice with a hoof. Ice glared at Ghost and gave Ghost the middle feather. (It’s like the middle finger but using a wing nistened) “And he landed on his face.” Rainbow said with a snicker. Ice looked at Rainbow and glared at her as well. “Then, that sheet of metal landed on him.” Ghost said as she pointed at the piece of metal with a star fish indent of Ice on it. “I'm standing right here you know.” Ice said in annoyed tone as he looked at Ghost and Rainbow with a glare. But Rainbow and Ghost ignored him as Ghost looked at the piece of metal and burst out laughing as a few for the girls giggled as well. “A work of modern art.” Ghost said she wiped a tear away from her eye, form laughing to hard. Ice just glared death at Ghost. As Fluttershy frowned a little bit at Ghost and Rainbow for how they are treating Ice. Ghost walked up to Ice and put a fore leg around back of Ice’s neck. “Don’t worry Ice, you know that I'm always joking.” Ghost said as she gave Ice’s smirk. Ice just rolled his eyes as Ghost removed her foreleg. “Well with have all sorted out and with the barn finished.” Applejack said getting everyponys attention. Once everypony had looked towards Applejack, she continued. “I think that we all need a well deserved break. About I wipe us up some apple pies.” Applejack finished with a smile. All the girls nodded and as for Ice and Ghost how looked confused. “What’s an Apple pie?” Ghost asked with an eyebrow raised. The girls looked back at Ghost and Ice, with confused and shock. “You two don’t know what an Apple pie is?” Twilight asked them both. Ice and Ghost just shook their heads. Pinkie Pie gasped as she jumped in to the air. “You have never had Apple Pie, how could you not have had Apple Pie?” Pinkie said as if it was impossible to live without Apple Pie. “Well we had bigger problems like the Covenant trying to wipe out all of Humanity.” Ghost said with glare. Pinkie cowered back a little as she remember of the world Ice and Ghost had come from. “Sorry.” Pinkie said as the others girls soon looked a little a depressed but how knew that Ice and Ghost had a job to fight and protect, so they really had no time to enjoy life. “What? You told them?” Ice asked as he looked at Ghost with a glare. Ghost looked back at Ice with a glare of her own. “Yes, I did. I need to make sure if they were Covenant or not.” Ghost said as she glared at Ice. Ghost and Ice glared at each other for a few seconds as they gridded their teeth. “Fine.” Ice said after a minute had pasted. “Ok.” Ghost said as she and Ice looked over to the girls. “It was properly a good idea in the end.” Ice said as his facial expression softened. “Can we try some of this Apple Pie?” Ghost asked as she gave a happy smile. Applejack nodded as the rest of the girl seems to perk up a bit. Location: Sweet Apple Acres / front gate. Time: 1747 hours After the Mane 6, Ghost and Ice had eaten several Apple Pies. (Well Ghost and Ice plus Pinkie had several whole Pies.) The girls decided to go to Twilight’s house for a little of relaxation. With Twilight in front and with Ghost off to her right, Rarity off to the left. Behind Ghost was Applejack and behind Rarity was Pinkie happy hopping along. At the back of the group was Ice and Fluttershy walking side by side, more like Fluttershy walking close to Ice. And of course Rainbow was hovering above the group. “How?” Twilight asked the two Spartans. Ghost just looked back towards Ice as just shrugged. Ghost looked back at Twilight. “Well let’s just say that me and Ice have found a favourite treat.” Ghost said giving Twilight a shrug. “But how can both eat five whole Apple Pies each?” Twilight said as if was impossible. (Pinkie Pie does not count, because she can already eat all of Sweet Apple Acres if she wished.) “I'm just glad that you and your brother enjoyed them.” Applejack said as she felt proud of her baking skills. “Well I feel guilty for not helping to clear up.” Ice said looking down at the ground. Applejack shook her head. “Nope. For what you and Ghost have been through, both deserve a break.” Applejack said looked back at Ice as he looked up at her. “What, do you mean?” Ice asked with an eyebrow cocked. “Oh come on, you and Ghost, have been fighting a war for how long?” Rainbow asked as she continued backwards to look at Ice. “We joined the Spartan program 17 years ago.” Ghost informed. Ice glared at Ghost. “These no point of getting angry Ice, for all we know are old bodies could have been destroyed. And what use we to the UNSC if we can’t kill Covenant?” Ghost said looking back at Ice. Ice just let out a sigh and nodded his head in understanding. “When we first saw action I was only 15 and Ice was 17, both of us weren’t even full adults. But we had a job to do.” Ghost said as she held her head high. The girls just gasped. “You weren’t even full adults, and you sent to fight… that… that…” Rarity said trying to find the words. “War.” Ice said calmly. “How… can… say that… so… calmly…?” Fluttershy asked as her ears flattened to the side of head and as tears started building up in the corners of her eyes. “We are used to it.” Ice said it as a fact. The group walked in silent for a few minutes, before Twilight asked a question. “How old do humans have to be classed as adults.” Twilight asked looking back at Ghost. “18 years old.” Ghost said with a small smile. “So what did both look like?” Twilight asked trying to make conversation. Ghost and Ice looked at each other then back to Twilight. “Well me and Ice stood on two legs and we had two arms.” Ghost informed Twilight. “So like Spike?” Pinkie asked as she continued hopping along with the group. “Well yeah, but we are much taller.” Ice added. “How much taller?” Rainbow asked as if she was trying to see if fight against them and win. “Twilight what do you use for measuring?” Ghost asked. Twilight smiled and answered. “We use miller meters, then centre-meters, then meters, then…” Twilight started to rant but Ice cut her off with a cough. “Sorry.” Twilight said with a blush. “Well me and Ice stand roughly 2.70 meters tall. Well Ice is 2.75 meters tall, I just little bit shorter then Ice because me being female.” Ghost said remember back to when she was Human. All the girls, gasped and when wide eyed at hearing that. All of them looked at Ghost or Ice completely shocked by the news but they all continued walking as a group. “I will draw a picture if you like Twilight.” Ice added from the back. “Oh, yes please.” Twilight replied back as nodded her head. “It would be nice to see what you two looked like.” Rarity said trying to picture Ice and Ghost, being 3 meter tall and biped. After that the walk was quiet of a few minutes, with the sound of their hoof clopping along the ground. “So what was your armour like?” Rainbow asked out of the blue. Ice and Ghost looked towards Rainbow and then to each other, as if they were silently talking to each other. Ghost shook her head. “We can’t tell you about the armour because it is classified.” Ice said as Ghost looked back towards the front. “Aww, come on.” Rainbow wined, as Fluttershy spoke up. “Rainbow, they don’t have to tell us if they don’t what to.” Fluttershy said as she looked towards Ghost. Ghost looked back at Fluttershy and gave Fluttershy a small smile in thanks. Rainbow saw this and spoke up. “Fluttershy why are you acting like, if Ghost is the alpha female?” Rainbow said looking that Fluttershy with a confused. The whole group stopped dead and everypony looked towards Rainbow. “What?” Ice asked as his brain just did a back flip. Fluttershy blushed and backed away from Ice. “Ice, we to talk.” Ghost said looking at Ice. “And Twilight, Pinkie, Applejack and Rainbow, you lot need to hear this.” Ghost said looking towards the others but when Ghost looked towards Fluttershy she could see Fluttershy shaking her head and mouthing the words “Please no”. “Sorry Fluttershy, but it would be better if they all hear it now, before they get the wrong idea.” Ghost said in a clam voice. Fluttershy was terrified but nodded her head in understanding. Ghost explained to Ice and the rest of the girls, about Fluttershy and her condensation. The girls nodded in understanding but Ice said nothing, did nothing and showed no emotion. “Well, that explains a lot.” Rainbow said looking towards Fluttershy. Fluttershy just cowered on the floor with her hoofs covering her face. “Fluttershy, why didn’t you tell us?” Twilight asked calmly as she put a hoof on Fluttershy’s solder, trying to calm her down. “I was afraid.” Fluttershy whispered out. Ice looked towards Fluttershy. “Who were you afraid of?” Ice asked calmly. Fluttershy removed one of her hoofs to look to Ice. Fluttershy answered in a whisper, the one word Ice never wanted to hear. “You.” > Chapter 4: I will give you a chance! (first half) > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Two Worlds p1 Chapter 4: I will give you a chance! Planet: Equestria Location: The path towards Ponyville Time: 1759 hours The air was thick with silence, no one said a word or made a move. The only noise that could be heard was the ruffling of nearby leaves in the wind and the flapping sound of Rainbow’s wings. “You” the word echoed inside Ice’s head like if it was a virus infecting his mind. Ice stared at Fluttershy with emotionless eyes, completely unsure of what to do. Fluttershy slowly stood back up on to her hooves as Ice’s cold stare followed her tear filled eyes. Ice broke the silence by a question. “Does anyone know of a quite location?” Ice asked aloud. All the girls but Ghost were confused of the question. “What?” Rainbow asked as she scratched the back of her head. “The best location would be the lake on the outskirts of Ponyville.” Twilight answered as she looked at Ice with a puzzled look on her face, trying to figure out why. Ice turned his head to look at Twilight. “Which diction is that?” Ice asked. Twilight, Rainbow, Applejack and Pinkie all pointed a hoof in the diction of the lake. Ice nodded his head in thanks, and started walking in the diction the girls pointed out, without saying a word. “Ice?” Fluttershy mumbled under her breath. Ice didn’t respond but he did stop dead in his tracks. The air had a very tense aroma that was thick. Like time itself had stopped. Fluttershy was breathing heavily trying to find the strength to speak, but only a whisper came out. “Did I do something wrong?” Fluttershy asked whispered quieter than a mouse. Ice didn’t turn to look at her. “No you didn’t?” Ice said with no emotion behind it and started to walk to the lake again but then broke in to a full sprint. Fluttershy was about to open her mouth to speak, but Ghost cleared her throat. All the girls looked towards Ghost. “Leave him be for now. He needs time to think.” Ghost said as she watched Ice walking away. Ghost turned to look at the girls. “Emotions, are… difficult for Ice to handle. He has been like this his whole life, just going form mission to mission just following orders, with me by his side.” Ghost said as she looked form mare to mare, looking right in to their eyes, trying to see what they were thinking. As Ghost continued. “So just give him time to act on his emotions, even with me it hard act on them sometimes.” Ghost finished explaining, but Pinkie spoke up. “Why is it hard for Ice to feel his emotions, I mean Crackly was all moody and all but I was able to get him to smile and find love… (gasp) maybe I can help Ice.” Pinkie spoke in rapid section and was about to run after Ice but before Pinkie got 2 meters Ghost had darted in front of Pinkie and glared at her. Pinkie backed away slowly, once Pinkie was next to Rarity, Ghost dropped her glare and sighed. “Pinkie you remember what me and Ice are right.” Ghost asked, Pinkie nodded. “Well what me and Ice have been through is not easy to forget and sometimes memories like can destroy emotions making people to love, be happy, to care… it’s… just impossible. Because happy memories are replaced with memories of pain, misery and suffering. Me and Ice have been through this at a very young age.” Ghost said she looked down at the ground. The girls stood there in silence, taking in what Ghost had said. “Come on, we should move on.” Ghost said as she continued to walk back to Ponyville. The rest of the girls just looked at Ghost, then towards the direction Ice walked off to and back to Ghost. As if they were looking at two options of who to follow. It only took a second for the girls to make up their minds and began to follow Ghost back the Ponyville. But one yellow mare didn’t move a inch, and only looked off in the direction Ice went. Inside Fluttershy’s head was a battle going on of whom to follow. Dose she follow the stallion that she had fallen for or dose follow the others and go with the flow. (Inside Fluttershy’s head) “Come on Fluttershy, COME ON FLUTTERSHY! MAKE UP YOUR MIND! Do I Ice and try to make this right, or will that make things worse? What if I follow the others then what see if Ghost has any advice? What do I do?” Fluttershy thought to herself, as the mental battle for answers continued. Fluttershy stood there for a few seconds but someone called her name. “Fluttershy are you coming or not?” Rainbow called out to her, snapping Fluttershy out of her trances. Fluttershy looked towards Rainbow but Fluttershy didn’t say anything, and just broke in to a full sprit in the direction Ice went. “Fluttershy where are you going?” Rainbow asked as she called out to her. The others turned around to see what all the fuss was about. To see Fluttershy running off the girls started calling out Fluttershy’s name trying to get her attention, but Fluttershy ignored them just continued running. “Come on we have to go after her.” Applejack said as she looked back at the others. The rest of the girls nodded their heads and were about to go. But Ghost spoke up. “Let her go.” Ghost said. The girls turned back to look at her but Ghost just looked off in the direction Fluttershy running. “Why? Fluttershy is our friend, we need to be there for her.” Twilight said stating the facts as she frowned at Ghost. The rest started to back Twilight by lining up next to with unfriendly looks towards Ghost. Ghost just sighed as she continued to watch Fluttershy run over a hill and out of site. “Because this is something that she needs to do alone.” Ghost looked at the girls and continued. “Because here is a fact Twilight if you keep doing everything for her, when you believe she is going to fail she will never grow stronger. Fluttershy will just be the same, all ways scared of her own shadow. If you let her fight, her own inner demons… she will feel much better about herself and enjoy life to the full.” Ghost pointed a hoof at Twilight and the others. “That why you need her to fight this alone. But help her when she needs it.” Ghost finished. Twilight, Pinkie, Applejack, Rainbow and Rarity were in shock that not only did Ghost had Fluttershy’s best intentions in mind but she found a way that Fluttershy grow stronger from it. One by one the girls lowered their eyes in the ground deep in thought as Ghost’s words echoed inside their heads. “Twilight!” A voice called out form the form the distant. All the girls and Ghost looked to the diction of the voice, to Spike running right at them. “Spike is something wrong?” Twilight asked concerned. The rest of the girls and Ghost surprisingly ready themselves for any bad news. Spike stopped in front of the group but the sad thing was he was completely out of breath. “Twi… light… (gasp) prin… cess… (gasp) pony… ville… (gasp)…” Spike continued to try to speak with no air in his bloody lungs. “Sugar-cube, take a deep breaths and then say what’s on your tough.” Applejack said as Spike was clearly dying on the spot. Spike took Applejack advice and took in several deep breaths, then spoke clearly now. (I can see clearly now that the rain as gone… sorry back to the story) “It Princess Celestia, Princess Luna and… Blueblood, they on their way to Ponyville.” Spike said but spat out Blueblood’s name as if it as sour to his tough. The girls gasp or groaned annoyed at hearing Blueblood arrival. “I am going to guess that everyone here hates Blueblood right?” Ghost asks everyone out of the blue. “Who did you know that we hated that… that disgusting pig.” Rarity said as Ghost believed that she was a vain on Rarity’s forehead for a second, as Rarity went in to rage mode. “Well all of you had surprise or looks of joy on your face but as so as the word Blueblood came out every one of you had a face of disgust or clearly hate for him.” Ghost said as she put a hoof on Rarity’s solder. Rarity nodded and calmed down a bit. “Well as they are on their so we really, really, really, really, really get back to the library. It needs to the spotless, SPOTLESS!” Twilight yelled as she started to panic, but before anyone could calm her down Twilight teleported everyone to the library. Location: Ponyville Library / Twilight’s house Time: 1812 hours A big flash of light engulf the empty, once the white light died down 6 mares and a baby dragon now filled the empty library. With Twilight having a panic attack darting around the library all the books that, were out back on the shelves as the rest of the girls and Spike just watched her darting around. But in all the excitement a certain someone that had ever teleported before was having a problem. “What the fuck was that?” Ghost asked aloud as she swayed left to right because of her brain was doing back flips inside her skull and she fighting to stop herself from throwing up. Pinkie, Rainbow, Rarity, Applejack and Spike all looked back at Ghost. “Are you alright Ghost, because you look like you are about to throw up? Like me when I eat too many sour sweets.” Pinkie asked as tilled her head to the side. Ghost looked up at Pinkie with a grim look but Ghost saw Spike run in to the kitchen, then back out a second later with a bucket in his claws. Ghost was about to say “I’m fine” but her body said otherwise. “Ghost! Bucket!” Spike yelled as he ran up to her and handed her the bucket. Ghost quick grabbed the bucket with both her hoofs and emptied the contents of her stomach in to the bucket. “Oh dear, this is Ghost first time teleporting?” Rarity said to herself. Rainbow reply to Rarity. “I guess so I don’t Ghost or Ice would of teleported back in their world.” Rainbow said as she hovered there and put a hoof to her chin, deep in thought. “What the fu-(throwing up sound)!” Ghost trying to speak but… (Well you readers get the idea). “First teleporting sickness, it happens to everypony how teleports for the first time. It will ware off in a minute or two.” Rarity said as looked at Ghost who spat in to the bucket. For about 5 minutes later Ghost had improved a lot but still felt like shit. Applejack put a hoof on Ghost solder and Ghost looked at her. “You feeling better sugar-cube?” Applejack said as she put on a soft smile as Ghost just nodded. She looked around the library to see Twilight still dashing around but this time with several dusters in her magic, dusting several sleeves at once. Ghost all so saw Pinkie setting up several party snacks on the centre table. Rainbow was de-webbing the all the corners of the roof. Spike was in the kitchen mopping the floor. And Rarity was making several flower boutiques and doted them around the room. Ghost looked down at the bucket in front of her and she felt bad about not doing anything. “Applejack I am going to the bathroom to empty the bucket.” Ghost informed Applejack. “Ok, I go help the others with whatever needs doing.” Applejack said with nod. Ghost smirked back and picked up the bucket handle in her teeth and walked up stairs. Few seconds later Twilight and the others finished the library with only seconds to spare before a flash of white light filled the room and three new ponies filled the room. The first one was a white Alicorn with and rainbow mane and tail, her name was Princess Celestia the goddess of the sun. The second Ailcorn was dark blue with a night sky mane and tail, her name was Princess Luna the goddess of the moon. And the third pony is the royal pain in the Jack-ass… Blueblood. Twilight and girls bowed their head towards to Celestia and Luna but no to the dip-stick prince. “Hmm, this is the place, a horrible, unclean, old library.” Blueblood said in disgust with his nose flicked up. Twilight and others glare at Blueblood but smiled as Celestia and Luna walked up to them. “Twilight, Pinkie, Applejack, Rarity and Rainbow it is good to see you all again.” Celestia said in calm almost and motherly voice. “We also gland to see thee again.” Luna said in the old tough. "It is good to see you both." Twilight said with a large smile. Celestia back then looked around as she looking for someone. "Twilight, the letter you sent me said something about two other ponies?" Celestia asked Twilight. Twilight just blushed realizing that Celestia and Luna’s reason for coming was not here in the room. But before Twilight could respond Blueblood spoke. "She just is wasting your time and my time, with her lies aunty Celestia." Blueblood said with a very displeased voice. "Hey, Twilight never lied! Rainbow yelled as she point a hoof at Blueblood." Blueblood face was one of shock and disgust. "How dare you, you little…" Blueblood was cut off as the sound of a hoof slamming on to the floor at the top of the stairs. As Celestia, Luna and Blueblood had their backs to the stairs, all three for them turned around as the others just looked up. Ghost stood at the top of the stairs looking down at everyone, she was washing out the bucket in the sink after she had emptied it to the toilet, but that was before she heard new voices down stairs and went to investigate. What is found three new ponies two large ones and a male. "Who are you?" Ghost said a grim look on her face. Celestia and Luna looked at the new pony with a uncertain feeling, as watched the mare that was probably 2-3 inches taller than most stallions, three or four times more muscle on he that a royal guard and the scars all over her body was a clear sign that she is a fighter of some like… a very deadly one at that. "Can you not me. I am a prince, you disgusting brute." Blueblood yelled back at Ghost. Ghost eyes locked on to him and she started to make her way down the stairs. *Thud* *Thud* *Thud* was all that could be heard as Ghost down the stair not taking her eyes off of Blueblood. Celestia and Luna stood that watching and wanting to know how the new pony will reach act. The rest of the girls watched as the scene unfolded in front of them. Twilight was praying that Ghost wouldn’t crush Blueblood in to dust, as she remember the market rely that day. Rarity and Rainbow both hoped the Ghost would knock him in to the ground. Applejack hoping that is wouldn’t become a bloodbath. And Pinkie well was being Pinkie. Ghost was only 3 inches form Blueblood face as she looked down at him with a glare that was at a nuclear level of death. Blueblood was cowering away for the mare in pure fear. "Aunty Celestia help!" Blueblood whimpered out. Ghost started giggle then in to full blown laughter. Blueblood back away even more, as everyone else looked at Ghost if she had got mad that confused them all. "That is so sad and pathetic!" Ghost said as her laughter had died down. "What?" Celestia asked in complete confused. "What kind of male are you? You call your aunty to fight your battles for you, huh? You spineless coward, you are just so bloody pathetic." Ghost started to rant with a glare that would have made Blueblood look like he died for a direct hit form a MAC canon from the stratosphere. (Happy thoughts) "As a male let me give you some advice…" Ghost said as Blueblood that was most or less lying on his stomach. Ghost continued “…GROW A PAIR OF BALLS! YOU FUCKER!” Ghost finish yelled at him at point blank with a grill sergeant voice. Everyone back away even Celestia and Luna form Ghost outburst. Ghost continued to glare at Blueblood, but soon she noticed a puddle forming under Blueblood and soon the smell of piss it Ghost’s nose. "Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! No way Ghost made Blueblood wet himself, ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! That’s classic. Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!" Rainbow said as her ribs started to hurt form laughing so hard. But before anything could happen Blueblood was teleported out of the library back to whatever whole he crawled out of. Ghost turned the source of the teleportation to see the light form Celestia’s horn died down. "Normally I would have had to arrest you. But I can see that these a lot more to you than meets the eye." Celestia said as she gave Ghost a very serious look. Ghost walked up to Celestia. Ghost was half Celestia’s height. Celestia looked to Ghost’s cold yellow eyes and she could almost feel all the pain and suffering what Ghost had been through, and this made Celestia afraid but she Celestia hind it form Ghost. "I know you are not form our world, form the Twilight sent was very detailed and the average pony knows who me and Luna are. And you show no knowledge of both of us." Celestia said stating the fact. "So why did you not have me arrested then. If you should of?" Ghost asked with an eye brow raised. Celestia and Luna looked at each other but both smiled with a nod from Luna, Celestia continued. "But it is so rare to see some pony stand up to Blueblood, so tried to enjoy the moment while it lasted but making him wet himself was a bit far." Celestia said with an unsure look on her face. “His problem that he gets scared easily, not mine.” Ghost said with a shrugging of her shoulders. Celestia nodded and then looked to Twilight and others but then noticed that Fluttershy was missing. "Where is Fluttershy?" Celestia asked the girls. "Fluttershy is with Ghost brother Ice." Twilight said as the rest the girls nodded happy to their princess’s. "Brother?" Luna asked as she looked towards Ghost. Ghost just nodded confirming. "I just hope Fluttershy and Ice get their little problem sorted out." Rarity said as she put a hoof to her chin. "What little problem?" Celestia asked as she looked towards Rarity. "Oh, Oh, Oh, let me tell the story." Pinkie asked as she popped up and down. Celestia smiled at Pinkie joyous nature. "Ok Pinkie, you can tell story." Celestia said with a smile playing a long with Pinkie antics. Luna rolled her eyes as a smile graced her lips. "Well it all started…" Pinkie began but the author cut her off to change the scene. (I’m just a bastard) Location: Ponyville Lake Time: 1806 hours Ice stood at the edge of the lake as he catches his breath. Ice just stood there looking at his refection in the crystal clear water. He stared at the pony that was him but he could swear I second ago he saw him in his Spartan armour looking right at him, with every scratch and dent as clear as day in the refection. But the one thing that scared him was that the visor of the Spartan Ice was a reflection of the pony vision of himself. "Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!" Ice yelled as he slammed his hoof to the water, destroying the reflection. He stood there in silent’s listening to the sound of the world around him. soon he heard some hoof steps off in distant, which were getting closer. He looked up to see Fluttershy running towards him and stopping at the water’s edge. Fluttershy stood there breathing heavily, looking at Ice form the other side of the lake. Almost like a mirror both Fluttershy and Ice started walking around to the lake edge towards each other. Soon Fluttershy and Ice stood a meter for each other, both of them not saying a word. It was like this for a few minutes, because Fluttershy was scared to speak up and Ice had no idea of what to say. The silent’s was almost painful for the both of them but Ice broke the silent. "I will it a chance." Ice said as he looked off to the side. Fluttershy’s ears perked up a bit as she hoped that what Ice had said was true. "What?" Fluttershy asked as she took a step forward closer to Ice. "I say I will give this… relationship thing a chance." Ice said as he sounded a little uncomfortable. A smile gracefully appeared on Fluttershy’s lips and tears started forming on the corner of her eyes. "Really… you are going to… give me… a… a chance." Fluttershy said as a whisper, under the wind. Ice looked up in to Fluttershy’s eyes and walked up to her, until their faces were only 2 inches apart. "Yes, I am Fluttershy." Ice said with a small smile on his own face. Fluttershy’s smile got a little bigger as happiness filled her heart. Fluttershy was about to move in to a kiss, but Ice beat her to it. Fluttershy was surprised at first but she didn’t complain and lend in to the kiss enjoying every second of it. Both Fluttershy and Ice broke the kiss and just enjoy the peace and each other’s company. (Picture this, you are looking at Fluttershy and Ice form the other side of the lake both Fluttershy and Ice happy with their new found relationship. But you look down to the water’s edge to see Fluttershy and Ice reflection, you hope to see a perfect mirror image on the water… you see wrong, you see Fluttershy as a pony and Ice as a human, armed head to toe in Spartan armour and armed to the teeth with weapons.)
