> A Long Broken World > by Raikiry > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Chapter 1: Childhood Friend and Broken Stallion > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Chapter 1:The Childhood Friend and Heartbroken Stallion. Written By Raikiry Edited by: Trader_Jack It was a normal day in Cloudsdale as everypony was going about their daily routine. All of a sudden, a chromatic blur shot across the sky.. Within mere seconds everypony in Cloudsdale had focused their attention on the rainbow colored filly. “AWESOME! 10 SECONDS NEW, A WORLD RECORD,” said Rainbow Dash, who was congratulating herself as she soared over Cloudsdale. “Man I'm kinda thirsty,” Rainbow said as she landed on the clouds. While she was walking to the nearest shop to buy a drink, she notices a pony that she did not recognize. She was interested in who it could be. She jumps into the nearest cloud silently making her way towards them. While she was hiding in the cloud, she sees a colt standing behind his parents and she couldn’t tell what they were talking about. She knew the only way to hear their conversation is to sneak up closer, and an idea popped into Rainbow’s head. She flew up and sneaked up closer and hear their conversation. “But mom, dad. I’m kinda nervous around this place and I had to abandon my friends in Manehattan,” the colt said. “Nonsense son. You’ll make plenty of friends here. And besides, weren’t you being bullied over at our old home?” his father asks. Momentarily the colt stood silent, before lowering his head and sighing in defeat. Back in Manehattan there were a couple of bullies who always called him names. But he does remember that he had good friends over there... Well sorta, since none of them were actually his friends. “Listen honey, I didn’t like those so-called friends of yours that you used to hang out with. Their behavior towards you was unacceptable,” his mother said, putting on a warm smile for him. While he was about to say something, he heard a scream above him and saw a filly crashing right in front of him. His parents and the little colt look at the filly that was supposedly listening to their conversation. “Um… Hello, little filly. Can we help you with something?” the colts father said to the prismatic filly in front of him. “Um...Yes I mean no,” she said, getting up from the floor and looking at the colt. She notices the colt has a black mane and white coat and red eyes. His cutie mark was a red thunderbolt, similar to Rainbow Dash. “Um… Welcome to Cloudsdale, the friendliest place known in all Equestria. Most of the time at least. My names Rainbow Dash. Nice to meet you,” she said to the new pegasi. “Well um thank you Rainbow Dash. My name is Great White, and this is my wife, Saphire, and my son, Red Blitz. Son me and your mom will be inside the house organizing and tomorrow you can go back to school. you can make friends in no time. Well, I’ll leave you two to know each other your mother and I will be inside to go to far ok we don't know this place very well yet,” Blitz’s father said while Sapphire follows behind him. Blitz was nervous around Rainbow. He didn’t know what to talk about because he just met the pony until Rainbow spoke and broke the silence. “So do you like the Wonderbolts?” Rainbow asks. “Who doesn’t! I’m their number one fan, and when I grow up, I want to be a Wonderbolts.” Blitz enthusiastically proclaimed. “Well, tough luck kid. I’m going to be in The Wonderbolts and I’m their number one fan.” Rainbow said proudly. A smirk came across Blitz’s face, he thought about something to see if she wasn’t kidding that she was more than a fan then him. Few hours have past and Blitz and Rainbow were talking nonstop about the Wonderbolts and debating why Spitfire was the fastest on the team. Moments later Sapphire walked in“Blitz honey, it’s late. Say goodbye to Rainbow. It’s time for dinner.” Sapphire said, to which Blitz responded that he was coming. “Well, it was fun to get to know you, Rainbow. Maybe we should race against each other some time,” Blitz said. “Heh, you’re so on! Well, I’ll catch you tomorrow Blitz.” With that she waved goodbye, flying off into the distance. Blitz smiled as he knew he couldn’t wait for tomorrow to see her and hang out again. His name was called again. He turns around and runs inside the house while he took one final look outside where Rainbow disappeared. He was happy that he made a new best friend. Five years have past and Blitz moved to Ponyville, when he was old enough and can afford a house. His parents still lived in Cloudsdale. Blitz got a job in Ponyville on the weather team and he also wasn’t alone in Ponyville. Rainbow Dash also moved to Ponyville to hang around and train so she can become a Wonderbolt. Blitz also has deep feelings for Rainbow but she didn’t notice it. Blitz sighs and wonders when he can tell Rainbow his feelings about her. He opened his eyes and quickly pushed aside his thoughts realizing that he was on top of the mountain in Ponyville. With his wings tied up, he was in the sled with Rainbow floating next to him. “Okay Skittles, why am I here again?” Blitz said as he looks to the end of the mountain. “First, don’t call me that. And second, because you lost the hay-eating contest. Like always, I was victorious.” Rainbow said with a smirk on her face. “Almost always Rainbow, remember we are still matched in speed.” Blitz said, remembering that him and Rainbow race against each other, but always comes to a draw. ' “Yeah, yeah. Like I said, I was letting us tie so you wouldn’t feel bad. But enough chit chat. Are we doing it or you going to chicken out?” Rainbow said. “Alright, alright,” Blitz said,pushing his sled down the mountain, quickly gaining speed. He panicked as he realized he couldn’t stop the sled as it raced towards Ponyville. “Ah crap basket, why didn’t I think to put a brake on this?” he thought to himself as he crashed into a nearby shop. Blitz was on the floor space and saw birds flying around him. As he recovers his consciousness, he notices a dying Rainbow Dash on the floor because she couldn’t hold her laugh. “Yeah, yeah, laugh it up,” Blitz said while walking towards Rainbow Dash. “Man…you should have seen your face. Priceless,” Rainbow said, quickly recoveringand getting up off the floor. “Well, at least that’s out of the way. What’s next on the agenda?” Blitz said, looking at his best friend. Rainbow was about to say something but then she caught somepony walk by and was looking at the pony. Blitz was confused. He waved his hooves in her face, snapping her out of it to see if she can come back down to Equestria. As Rainbow snapped out of it, she bit her lip and said to Blitz, “Hey dude. Let’s catch up later. I kinda forgot to do something.” With that said, she flies up, always disappearing in the sky. Blitz didn’t mind Rainbow leaving, instead he wondered why was she acting so weird. He ignored it and went to walk around the little town of Ponyville. Hours past and it was getting dark. Blitz was lying around in the park of Ponyville until he heard a voice coming near by. He notices a pony with a rainbow mane disappearing in a nearby tree. He went to investigate if he saw Rainbow Dash. He was right. It was Rainbow Dash. He was about to yell her name before he noticed an orange pony, their head adorned with a stetson. Quickly he ducked behind the nearest tree.. He remembers it was Applejack. She introduced herself to him when he first came to Ponyville. He listened closely as they began to talk.. “You see, we been friends for a long time, I kind of develop feelings towards you,” Rainbow said to Applejack. “Aw that sweet Rainbow, but what about your friend Blitz. He kinda has a thing for you.” Applejack said to Rainbow. “Who Blitz? Nah I like him as a brother. Nothing more. And besides, he doesn’t like me. He thinks of me as a si-” Rainbow was interrupted when she felt lips connect with hers and notice Applejack is kissing her. She gladly kissed back. He deliberately stepped on a twig to catch their attention.. Rainbow saw Blitz standing behind the tree hearing everything. Blitz was speechless of what he just witness, his crush kissing some other pony. He felt his heart broken. He felt nothing inside but just pain. With no words he just walked away from them, getting Rainbow to stand up and call his name. But he didn’t pay attention. He just kept walking. “Ah, man,” Rainbow said. “Shouldn’t you go after him?” Applejack said to Rainbow. “Nah. I’ll talk to him tomorrow,” Rainbow said sitting next to Applejack “Beside his like a brother to me. I bet he’s so proud of me he wanted us to have some privacy.” Rainbow explained to Applejack. “I don’t know Rainbow. I kinda think he’s hurt.” Applejack said eyeing Rainbow. “Don’t worry. Look, I’ll go talk to him tomorrow and see if he’s okay.” Rainbow said with a smile on her face. It was tomorrow afternoon and Rainbow was flying around in Ponyville looking for Blitz to see if he’s okay. Rainbow Dash grew worried about him. She couldn’t find him at his house where they usually meet up. Rainbow searched everywhere, Sugarcube Corner and the Ponyville town hall. Rainbow was now panicking. She couldn’t find her best friend. She landed at Sweet Apple Acres to see if Applejack noticed him around. But no luck, she hasn’t seen him today. Rainbow flew up to the sky and yell for his name all over Ponyville. Now she was getting worried of the disappearance of her best friend. At the end of Ponyville, there was a sign saying ‘Thank you for visiting Ponyville, I hope you come back soon.’ Blitz was walking a long road out of Ponyville and looking where the road takes him. Right now he didn’t care about nothing. He felt a shattered heart inside him. Now he follows the road and where it takes him. Three years later, a wagon pulls up to the Ponyville sign saying, ‘Welcome to Ponyville, I hope you enjoy your stay.’ The stallion looks up to the other stallion that was riding with him. “Excuse me, sir, we’re here. Thank you for service and I hope we meet again. That will be twenty bits,” the stallion said while his customer paid for their ride. “Thank you.” The stallion that got out of the wagon was Blitz he grew a bit and appears in a normal state. As the wagon left, Blitz looked at Ponyville and a sigh came to his mouth. “Well, I’m back home, I guess. Let’s hope it can be different than last time,” Blitz said walking towards the Ponyville entrance. > Chapter 2: A Blast from the Past > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 2:Blast From the Past Written by: Raikiry Edited by: Trader_Jack Blitz was walking the path to enter Ponyville. He let out a sigh, remembering why he left this place. He remembers it all too well; the pain and the emotions he’s been through. He remembers leaving Ponyville and moving to Fillydelphia. He was drinking and getting himself drunk, trying to forget the incident in Ponyville. Until a stallion that owns the bar didn’t like him getting drunk and was annoyed with him. He went towards Blitz and told him to leave, cause he was having too much to drink and might be a problem. Blitz wasn’t completely drunk. He understood what he was doing and he didn’t wanted to cause trouble. He got up in his chair and gallop out the bar. He looks up in the sky knowing it was already dark. Few minutes of walking around in Fillydelphia, he felt sickness in his stomach and was about to puke. Few minutes of puking, he notices somepony looking at him. He couldn’t tell who he or she was but he only heard him talking and saying something to him. “Are you okay mister?” the mysterious stallion said. “Um…Yeah...I'm fine...” Blitz said while sitting down on the floor. “Um it doesn’t look like it. I know you don’t know me, but when I saw you, it seems you’re in pain of some sort.” the stallion said. “Um...Yeah I am...I kinda got heartbroken in my old town, and I kinda ran away.” Blitz said trying to hold some tears. The mysterious stallion sighs and got closer to Blitz. His coat was white and his hair was also. But when Blitz saw the stallion eyes, he could admit there were beautiful. His eyes was light ocean blue and he never seen a pony with amazing eyes. “Names Light Dust, and you are?” the stallion said sitting next to him. “Um….” He couldn’t tell his name cause he just meet the pony and might be a mugger. “Ah well is ok if you don’t want me to tell your name. Now if you don’t mind me asking what’s wrong?” Dust said giving him a warm smile. Blitz turns his head and met his sight. For some reason with that expression he is giving, Blitz can tell he can trust him. But he doesn’t understand why. He closes his eyes and let the tears come out his eyes and told everything what happen. For a few hours had past of telling him what happen. Dust gave him a warm smile at him and said, “Ah, a broken heart. I know how that’s feel. See I was like you and, truth be told, I was about to give up everything.” Dust said. Blitz looks at him and notice something in his eyes that he was telling the truth. He couldn’t tell how but he could tell that his heartbreak was worse than his. Blitz stood silent and heard his part of his story. “Well you see. I was heartbroken also and I was going to give up everything. I moved away just like you. One faithful night I was about to take my life away but somepony stop me. I couldn’t tell who he was but I was scared and thought I was being robbed. But nothing happen. The mystery pony just stood there in the dark.” Dust said when he closes his eyes. “You know what he told me?” He opens his eyes and look at Blitz. Blitz wanted to know what the mystery pony said to Dust when he was about to take his life away. Dust smile and said words that seems that came out of a cheap novel. “He said, “Don’t take your life. You’re important in this world. Keep moving forward and don’t let a simple heartbreak get you. You might feel scared to meet this pony again, but be strong and ready when it happens.” Dust said to Blitz, who he didn’t understand those words. “Now tell me what’s your dream?” Dust said to Blitz. “Um…my dream is to become part of the Wonderbolts and be the fastest flier in all Equestria.” The fastest flier of all Equestria he knew was Rainbow Dash. He sighs to himself until he felt a hoof in his shoulder. “Don’t give up. And you know what you probably be a good doctor or medic one day Blitz.” He said his final words when he got up from where he was sitting and left Blitz. For a few moments of processing everything he said, he notices something shocking. How did he know his name if he didn’t told him his name? Blitz got up and chase after Dust to ask him how he knew his name. But it was too late he was nowhere to be found. Blitz turns around and kept walking in the city until a mare stops him from his tracks. He saw the mare scared and crying. “Please help me. My child, she can’t breath and nopony can help me. Please I beg of you.” Blitz didn’t know what to do, but he did know he didn’t want her to lose a child. Her daughter was more important than a silly heartbreak. Blitz agree to help and follow the stressed out mare and saw her child choking and saw of couple of ponies surrounding her trying to help. He was afraid he didn’t know what to do in the situation like this. But he didn’t want to leave like this. Blitz was trying to do everything he did to help the child. Blitz went behind the child and by the looks of it she was choking on something on her throat. He puts his hooves and push in her stomach making her to spit out the stuck object. Few more attempts and it was a success the child spit out a plastic head from a toy. The child cries and was hugging her mother. Blitz heard the mare saying thank you a thousand times to him and he heard couple of ponies applauding him. He felt something in him. His heartbreak and pain was somewhat gone. After a moment he saw everypony leaving him. He saw one pony approach him. It was same stallion that talked to him. “See Blitz, you don’t need to give up. Just keep moving forward and that heart break of yours only makes you stronger.” Dust said giving him a smile. “I think I’ll keep that in mind. But tell me how did you know my name?” Blitz asks. Dust smile and didn’t say a word, he kept walking until Blitz couldn’t see him again. For a few moments of thinking, Blitz wanted to do something than be a Wonderbolt. He wanted to help ponies. So he started studying medicine and care. Two years had past and Blitz graduated and became a doctor. In his graduation, he couldn’t believe he made it this far. He couldn’t come this far without Dust. So he decided to go to the nearest pony police station and tell him if they got an address of Light Dust. What came after, he couldn’t believe it. The police officer explains to him that he was dead for twenty years of suicide. This was a shocker to Blitz with no complain. He exit out of the police station and looked above the sky. He smiled and said, “I think I got a Guardian Angel looking after me,” he said to himself and gallop down to his apartment. Few months past and Blitz decided to look for a job in Ponyville. At first he was scared, but he knew he needed to be ready if he ever bumps into Rainbow again. It’s been three years now and he needed to be ready. He packs up his stuff and started to go to Ponyville. He let out a sigh, knowing he was here now. Noticing that he already enter Ponyville, he pulled out a note pad and saw his to do list. 1.Get A House. 2.Get a Job as a Doctor in Ponyville Hospital. 3.Get to know Ponies in Ponyville. He sighs and continues his way to the Ponyville hospital. But one pink pony stops him in his track. “Hiya!” > Chapter 3: The Return > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 3: The Return Written by: Raikiry Edited by: Trader_Jack Blitz was startled by the mysterious pony who came in front of him. He took a minute to analyze the pink pony. She has puffy pinkish hair and was smiling right at him. Blitz didn’t know what to do. He was out of Ponyville for so long. He forgot to say hello to somepony. “Well, silly billy what’s your name?” she said. Blitz shakes his head and smiles at the pony. It's better to start fresh and start making friends. “Um, name’s Red Blitz. It’s nice to meet you miss…?” he stops in mid-sentence to see if she can introduce herself. “Oh pff. Silly. My name’s Pinkie Pie, but my friends only called me Pinkie.” She smiled. “So you must be new cause I know everypony in Ponyville and I never seen you around,” Pinkie said bouncing in circles around him. “Oh um. Yes, I want to move in Ponyville cause I am looking for a job as a doctor.” Blitz said. What he thought for the moment is better not tell her that you moved away for some incident that happened three years ago. He notices that Pinkie stopped bouncing and came in front of him. “OHMYGOSH YOU’RE MOVING IN. THAT’S GREAT!” she screams almost getting Blitz deaf. “Well thank you. But I need a house first. Do you know where I can get one?” Blitz asks. “Oh, of course, go to Mayor Mare. She can handle your problem. Well, I got go. I’ll see you later Blitz.” With that, she disappears in midair. “Wait!” It was too late. Pinkie was already gone. “Where can I find the Mayor?” Sure Blitz lived there once but he never got out of his house. The only way he got out of his apartment was because of Rainbow. He sighs and started walking down the road of Ponyville. He saw multiple ponies walking past him. He was too nervous to ask where the Mayor office was. He stops walking and saw a food stand. He looks at the delicious fruit. There were Oranges, Apples, and Grapes. Blitz turns his head and notices a purple alicorn looking at the fruit. This got Blitz to sigh. He knew the new princess was living in Ponyville, but why does he have to see her next to the fruit stand. He took a deep breath and look at Twilight cause he knew he needed direction to the mayor. So who better to tell him than the princess herself. He walks towards her and taps her shoulder, getting her attention. “Hmm?” Twilight turns around. “Um excuse me, princess. Um, I would like to ask for assistance.” Blitz said with a smile on his face. “Oh of course. But call me Twilight. I’m still getting used to the new princess thing.” She smiled. “Oh um okay. Um, Twilight, see I just came to Ponyville and was wondering if you know where the mayor is?” Blitz asks. “Oh of course, she’s at the Ponyville Hall. You can find her there. Just take a right down this road mister…?” Twilight asks. “Oh um, Red Blitz.” He introduces himself. “Ah well, Red Blitz. I hope I helped you. Anything else you want help with?” Twilight asks. “Oh no, nothing more thank you.” With that Blitz started to gallop down to the direction of where the Ponyville Hall was located. Few minutes have past and Blitz made it to the Ponyville Hall. He walks towards the stairs and knocked the door three times. First knock there was no response. Second knock was a success. He heard the door being unlock and reveals a middle age mare with gray hair. “Ah yes what can I help you, lad?” she asks. “Oh um yes. Look, I am new in this town and was wondering if there any houses left in Ponyville?” Blitz asks. “Why of course. Come inside and we can get started filling out the paperwork,” she said letting Blitz enter the hall. He followed Mayor Mare to her office and Blitz saw the artifacts that were in the hall. It shows statues of the Elements of Harmony and there wilder. He notices a familiar statue. He was surprised that it was Pinkie Pie and he read the description. “Elemental Of Laughter.” He read quietly. He continues following Mayor Mare until he got to stop when he notices a statue next to Mayor Mare’s office. It was Rainbow Dash. Just seeing her face made his heart hurt. He felt a little depressed and remembers what happened. He pushed those thoughts away and continues to follow Mayor Mare. Few minutes of following and he arrived in the major office. The mayor was pulling out some papers. “Okay. Well, lets start signing some papers,” she said giving him a pen. “Oh boy,” he said sarcastic. Another part of Ponyville, Pinkie was handing out fliers saying. ‘Welcome Party to a New Pony in Town’. She handed the fliers one by one and ended up in Sweet Apple Acres. She bounces her way to the apple doors, knocking three times. Pinkie heard somepony getting up and getting the door. After that, she saw Applejack opening the door. “Hey there Applejack!” Pinkie said with a happy tone. “Well, howdy Pinkie. What brings you in Sweet Apple Acres?” Applejack said letting Pinkie inside. “Well, I came here to give you a flier to come to my ‘Welcome To Ponyville’ party. See there’s this new stallion and he came to Ponyville to move in.” Pinkie said giving Applejack the flier. “You don’t say?” Applejack reads the flier and then looks at Pinkie “Well, I'll be there Pinkie.” “Thank you, Applejack. Well, I’m going to invite Rainbow to the party. Any idea where I could find her?” Pinkie looks at Applejack. Applejack placed her hooves on her chin, thinking where could Rainbow Dash be and remember that she might be at the park with Scootaloo. “Oh, she might be at the party with Scootaloo.” “Thank. Well see you later Applejack and don’t be late to the party.” Pinkie said while exiting the Apple’s house. As Pinkie walk towards the park to find Rainbow, she thought about the new stallion that came to Ponyville and wonders what is he doing now. Back at Ponyville Hall, Blitz was filling up the last paper to his new house. “Well thank you kind stallion. Give me a minute so I can get you a key to your house,” the Mayor said. She got up from her desk and continues to search the cabinets for the key. She looks around the cabinets and found a key to Blitz’s house. “Now let retract this again. Your payment of the house will be monthly. If you pay the bill to complete the house is all yours.” she said leaving the keys next to Blitz. “Would like any help on the moving?” she asks. “Oh no, thank you.” Blitz grabs his keys and gallop out of the office. “Well, I’m glad to say that I welcome you to Ponyville mister…?” Mayor Mare looks at Blitz. “Oh sorry. I’m Red Blitz.” With that he exited the office and continue to his house. He now haves a new house. Now when he gets to the house he needs to make a little grocery shopping. He thought for a moment and look up into the sky, hoping if he doesn’t bump into Rainbow. The last thing he needs right now is to feel the pain again. > Chapter 4: An Unwelcoming Guest > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 4: An Unwelcoming Guest Written by: Raikiry Edited by: Trader_Jack The Celestia Sun was stI’ll up, proud in the sky, and soon awaits the night of Luna so everypony can go get some shuteye. But Blitz decided to go wandering around town before moving into his new house and call it for a night. Right now, his located on the Ponyville plaza doing some window-shopping. At Blitz’s sight, he saw young couples all around the plaza making him very uncomfortable. As he was walking around, he notices something odd. Something caught his eyes and stop in mid walk. He saw a mint color pony looking gloomy and sad of some sort. Just by the look of her being sad, Blitz couldn’t resist seeing if everything was okay. Blitz gallops towards the pony and then she notice him coming towards her. Blitz just smiled at her and sat next to her on the bench. “Um hello,” Blitz said. “Um, hi…” She responded back “…” Blitz didn't say anything else cause he didn’t know what to say next, so he took a deep breath and look at her “Um I know you don’t know me but, I notice you were gloomy. Um, is everything okay?” He said. “Oh. Hehe. I am fine,” she said. ‘Fine’ in Blitz head was the word he uses to say when he wanted to be alone. Something tells him she was hurt in a way. He remembers the pain he went through and stI’ll wonders how he manages to forget all of it. Or is he afraid that pain is going to come back when a certain pony locks eyes with him. WI’ll he fell anger, sadness or something worst? “I can see it in your eyes, miss. How can a beautiful mare like you be fine? Something’s wrong, I can tell.” Blitz smiled. “Heh…I guess the mask is off…” Blitz got caught off guard when he notices tears escaping her eyes. “Hey don’t cry…I am very weak with a mare crying” he said. “I am sorry. It’s just that my stupid ass colt friend was seeing somepony else and he broke up with me.” She said. “Oh, I am sorry to hear that.” Blitz trying to comfort her. “It's okay…how rude of me. I’m Lyra. Lyra Heartstrings.” She extended her hoof for a hoof shake. “Oh, name’s Red Blitz. I just moved in.” He welcomes the hoof shake. “Well…Welcome to PonyvI’lle, Blitz. Hope you enjoy it here.” She said with depression hiding in her eyes. “Thanks…um hey, how about a walk around town. I mean if it's not weird to walk with a new friend you just met,” Blitz smiled. Lyra looks at him and giggles at his response. “Sure, I was about to go home. But I guess I can walk around a little.” She smiles. “Cool,” Blitz said. Blitz and Lyra wonder around town for a while. They talk about multiple things like where did Blitz come from and what’s each other hobby. A normal pony conversation. While at the mid center of PonyvI’lle we find Pinkie Pie going to the park to find Rainbow Dash to invite her to the party. “Keep up, squirt. A little more and you can fly in no time!” Rainbow dash yells “YES MAM!” Scootaloo keeps with her training with her mentor and sister. Pinkie jumps up and down and spots Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo at the park. She runs towards them and Rainbow notice her coming towards her. “Hey, Rainbow Dash!” Pinkie yells out to her friend. “Hey, Pinkie. What’s Up?” Rainbow Dash asked. “Hey, there’s a new pony in town and I was wondering if you like to come to his party.” Pinkie smiled. “Oh it’s a ‘He’. Well, I guess I can go to show him the Rainbow Dash in the flesh.” Rainbow Dash smirks. “And her little sister Scootaloo in the flesh also.” Scoots said while jumping next to Rainbow. “Well you two come tonight and you can meet him. Well, catch you later.” As Pinkie gallops away to go prepare the party, Rainbow remembers to ask the stallion’s name. “Ah, hay fries. I forgot to mention Pinkie what his new name was. Well, I guess I’ll wait until the party. Well Scoots, let’s continue our training.” Rainbow Dash flies up to the skies and inspects her little sister. “Yes, MAM!” Scoots try to flies once more. Back at the PonyvI’lle Plaza we see Lyra and Blitz laughing at some sort of conversation they are having. “Then I said, no sir that my mom.” Lyra giggles. “Heh, wow. I never knew they mistook your mom as a grandma.” Blitz smiled. “I know, right?” Lyra notices it was getting dark and got disappointed that she needed to leave. “Well I guess we need to disband our chat for now,” she said with a tone of sadness. “Say, can we meet again?” she said hiding a hint of blush. “Um, sure I mean if I am not busy.” Blitz smiled. Lyra got happy for his response so she started to say goodbye while backing up and looking a little embarrassed. At all that, Blitz notice she was happy. As they separated, Blitz decided to go to the lake beside the park. He walks in a deep and long path to go in the park and notice the beautiful lake beside him. He smiles and continues his way to the park. “Alright squirt, take five. I’m going to get us some refreshments” Rainbow says leaving the area. “Yes, Mam!” Scoots see her big sister disappear to get refreshments for them. As Blitz walks, he notice a little practice flying and didn’t know what it was, so he decided to take a closer look. As he gets a closer look, he was stopped by Scootaloo, who notice him getting closer. “Um excuse me, Sir. You can't be here, I mean you can but you can't. See my big sister is training me to fly and she says she wI’ll be back soon, so I don’t need a stranger ruining our training.” Scoots said at Blitz who was paying attention to the course. “Um sorry. I just moved here and then decided to take a walk in the park and I notice this. Wow, I bet I could beat my own record speed.” He was right. He stI’ll loves to flies and he's been training ever since and gotten a little faster over the years. A hint of laughter was heard and Blitz notice it was coming out of Scoots, who was laughing at his remark. “No wonder you're new. Listen buster, my big sister holds the record of top speed and you can't beat it. In fact nopony can.” Scoots said. “What’s the record?” Blitz asks. “Pff, ten seconds flat.” Scootaloo remark. “Hmm.” Blitz didn’t hear the answer cause he was too distracted of the obstacles. “Listen can I test fly you training and see if I can beat my own record?” “Sure go ahead but I got to warn you it wI’ll be difficult cause nopony can fly faster like Rainbow Dash can!” Scoots smiles. That name was the only name his heart couldn’t handle. He stops looking at the course and look at Scootaloo for a few seconds and was about to say something to her but then heard a familiar voice in the clouds. “HEY SCOOTALOO I AM BACK!” Rainbow Dash yells. Scootaloo looks away from Blitz and saw Rainbow descending from the clouds. “Well my sisters back maybe she wI’ll see how fast you-“ she stop in mid sentence when she notices Blitz was gone. “Hey squirt, who were you talking to?” Rainbow Dash asks. “A new pony who got interested in our course but when you arrive he disappear. Weird cause I didn’t hear him fly away, I mean I don’t even see him in the sky. Well, he said that he wanted to beat his own record.” “Pff that’s a good one squirt. Well, let get back to training and then when we finish we can go to Pinkie’s party.” Rainbow smiles. “Okay,” Scootaloo smiles at her big sister and return to flying training. At the outskirt of PonyvI’lle, Blitz was flying up in the air escaping from the park cause the last pony he would like to see right now is Rainbow Dash. He sighs to himself and Blitz looks to his right and saw the sun was descending and decided to go home. Blitz turned to a right and quickly spotted his new house. At least it was decent house. He was getting closer and closer to his house and descended from the clouds to his front door. He grabs his house keys and opens the door. By the sight of the house, it was pitch black. He couldn’t see inside. He put his hooves on the wall to see if he can find the lights. Few seconds past and he found the light switch. One flick it all it took for the room to light up. “SURPRISE!!” Blitz jumped away and got startled by the mysterious crowd of ponies who was in his house. He was confused on what’s going until he notices a familiar pink pony jumping towards him. “Were you surprised?!” Pinkie said with a huge smile. “Um…Yeah…but how did you get into my house I even didn’t make a copy of the house key yet?” “No questions. Come, let me introduce you to my friends!” Pinkie said while dragging Blitz to her friends. As Blitz arrived at his destination he saw four different ponies in front of him, at first he was nervous but then he recognizes a familiar face. “Blitz, let me introduce to you to my best friends, Twilight Sparkle, Fluttershy, and Rarity. I guess my other two best friends didn’t show up yet.” Pinkie said while looking around. Blitz looks at Pinkie friends and he happily introduces himself “ Hi, name’s Red Blitz. It’s nice to meet you all.” He said. “The pleasure is all ours my good sir. I for one welcome you to PonyvI’lle,” Rarity said with her beautiful smile on her face. “Well enough the introduction, let’s PARTY!” Pinkie Pie said while Blitz couldn’t resist smiling to his new friend. “Random, but fun to be with,” he whispers. Blitz looks around his house and saw multiple ponies, and with being back at PonyvI’lle, this is a brand new start for him. No more running away from the past. “Hey Blitz. How about a little karaoke!” Pinkie hands him a mic and he gets a confusing face. “Ah great, I sing every time in the shower but not in front of new ponies I just met,” he said. “Come on!” Pinkie yelled while everyone looks at Blitz and waits for to have some fun. “Well, if you can't beat them, join them.” He said getting ready to sing. At the streets of PonyvI’lle, we see Rainbow Dash and Scoots also heading to the welcoming party. “Man, Pinkie is going kI’ll me for being late.” Rainbow laughs. “Nah, let’s hurry and we won't miss the new pony,” Scootaloo said. Along the way, Rainbow looks to her right and notice Applejack and Applebloom going to the direction they are heading. “Well, I’ll be damn. Hey RD, going to the welcoming party also?” Applejack said to Rainbow Dash. “ Yep, I wanna show this new pony that the Rainbow Dash is right in his party. Who knows, he might be a big fan of mine.” Rainbow showing a little of her flying skills. “Hey Apple Bloom” Scootaloo greets her friend. “Oh, hey Scootaloo. Hey, who do you think the new pony is?” Apple Bloom asks. “Don’t know. Maybe he’s a normal pony or maybe an alien pony.” Scootaloo mocks and personates an alien. “Ahhh” Apple Bloom laughed and play along being scared. “Now girls behave. Look, we arrived at his new house.” Applejack and the girls open the door and saw multiple ponies gather around in one spot. Rainbow notice Pinkie smiling and notice her arrival. Rainbow came up and was about to ask what's going on. “Hey, Pinkie what's going on?” Rainbow asked while Applejack was behind her. “Oh, the new pony is going to sing karaoke!” Pinkie jumps up and down. “Really? So what’s the stallion name by the way?” Applejack ask. “Oh, his name is-” Pinkie was interrupted by the song of the karaoke. Applejack and Rainbow heard the music playing and this part they weren’t expecting to happen. “Hello.” With one word of Blitz’s voice, Rainbow’s and Applejack’s eyes grew bigger as they recognize the voice. The song was still playing and Rainbow and Applejack was getting through the crowd to see if they weren’t mistaken by the voice. Tears came to their eyes and Rainbow’s heart was beating faster. Of fear? Or something else. They reached their destination and saw a ghost coming back to haunt them. The song ended and everyone in the room was cheering except for Rainbow and AJ. Pinkie came behind them and smiled at them. “Rainbow, AJ meet-” Once again she was interrupted by Rainbow who was crying. “Blitz!” Blitz flinch of the voice calling out to him. He looks behind him and saw two mares behind him crying. And in their eyes was bloodshot for crying. One word came to Blitz’s mouth and one word only. “Hello.” > Chapter 5: What a Night > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 5: What a Night Written by: Raikiry Edited by:Trader_Jack The light of the morning sun struck in the window of Blitz new home. The light met his eyelids and Bolt struggle to figure out what was causing the disturbing light. As he tries to open his eyes he notices it was morning already. “Huh...morning already?” he said. As he tries to get up from the bed, he sits in the corner of his bed thinking about what happen before he went to bed. Ten-second delay of memory and then he remembered. “Oh yeah, Rainbow and Applejack beat me up. Heh,” he said feeling the little bruise that was left by Rainbow. --------Last Night------------ “Hello,” he said trying to not look directly at them; the last thing he was looking for is another heartache. “Blitz…YOU BASTARD!” Rainbow screamed and rushes over to him and tackling him to the ground getting every pony in the room to gasp, even Pinkie who was shocked of Rainbow’s action. His head hit the ground and felt his vision blurry and forgot what just happen. Until one feeling hit his face making him bleed in his nose. Seconds later, his vision returns to normal and saw Rainbow with anger in her eyes. Her strikes didn’t stop. One by one, she was hitting Blitz face, making him bleed even more. Blitz didn't want to do anything; he stood on the floor while receiving punches after punches in his face. “RAINBOW!” Twilight screamed while two stallions rush in and tries to remove her off from Blitz. While the two stallions were removing Rainbow, a blur of orange blob past through them and picked up Blitz and slamming him into the table, getting it to break. “YOU BASTARD, YOU WILL PAY HOW YOU MADE RAINBOW SUFFERED!” She screams while grabbing his throat and punching his gut. Blitz felt pain, but this strike felt stronger than Rainbow’s. Blitz body couldn’t take it anymore and spat out blood through his mouth, getting every pony to help out and separate Applejack from him before she kills him. Pinkie rushes to Blitz aid and helps him up while Fluttershy went rushing to the kitchen to get a first aid kit. Blitz saw the disaster in his new home. He saw the two mares who made him suffer and left Ponyville. “Applejack and Rainbow! I don’t know what’s got into you two. But attacking a defenseless pony is out of line and I want an explanation on why the buck you did that to Blitz.” Blitz tries to get up but Pinkie didn’t want him to get up cause the injuries he just received. “Please Blitz, stay down. I don’t know what's going on, but this is supposed to be a welcome to Ponyville party. Not attacking the new pony party.” She reveals tears in her eyes while Fluttershy arrives with the first aid kit. “Don’t cry Pinkie. Everything is going to be A...OH...K,” Blitz said while cleaning her tears. “Blitz please stay still,” Fluttershy said while cleaning the blood off his mouth. “This will sting a little.” While Fluttershy attends to his aid, Blitz receives a minimum sting from his injuries getting him to hold tight to Pinkie’s hooves because of the pain. “And that’s why we attack him,” Rainbow said while getting Blitz attention. “So now you understand why me and Applejack attacked him. Blitz looks to the direction where Applejack and Rainbow was in and saw Twilight with them. He saw her expression. It was a bit of anger and disappointment. “So much of making friends and starting a new life.” “I understand is my fault princess but-“ “Rainbow and Applejack, that is the most stupidest, bullcrap I have heard in my entire life of explaining why you needed to beat him up in front of every pony in this room!” Twilight screamed at them. “Yeah I know he disappeared and left you girls hurt without him saying something, but that still doesn’t gives an explanation of you two almost killing him!” Everypony in the room were getting disappointed faces at the bearers of Loyalty and Honesty. As they back up and rethink of what's happening, they look at Blitz who was on the floor. This angered Rainbow and was about to strike but was stop by Pinkie who was in front of her. “Pinkie?” Rainbow said. “Rainbow I think you should leave before some pony other than Blitz gets very hurt.” Something was different from Pinkie, her puffy hair was all flattened down and had deadpan eyes looking directly at both Applejack and Rainbow, giving them the chills. For the first time, they had chills over their spine and backed away. “Are you seriously going to defend that asshole? What he did to us?” Applejack remarked. “Look, how about we let Blitz explain.” Everypony looks at Blitz who was with Fluttershy getting attended. He looks to every pony in the room and he knew he needed to explain why they beat you up. He sighs “Huh” “Three years ago. I moved to Ponyville alone, well kinda alone. Rainbow decided to move with me in the same village. I had some fun times in Ponyville. Didn’t have many friends to begin with. The only friends I had were Applejack and Rainbow.” He tries to get up. “Blitz you shouldn’t.” “Don’t worry Fluttershy, I’m fine.” He smiles and looks at both mares who beaten him up. “Rainbow and I were friends when we were kids. She was my first real friend I ever had. Then I notice I had feelings for her a few years later.” He looks at Rainbow. “That day of my disappearance, I was about to ask you do go out with me. But then I saw you with Applejack making out…funny right? I was about to ask the most beautiful mare in all my life to go out with me just to find out she swings the other way.” Blitz reveals tears escaping from his eyes. “I…decided to stay away from Ponyville for awhile cause of the pain I was suffering. I didn’t tell my parents and I didn’t tell no pony where I was. Heck I think my parents think I’m dead…when I was away, a very wise pony gave me a second chance and relive my life like a new stallion…I became I doctor…well kinda…I can't become one until I take the test next year…so I decided to go back to Ponyville and face my fear and start fresh…and now here we are.” He finishes his explanation. “THAT’S WHY YOU LEFT…CAUSE OF ME MAKING OUT…CAUSE YOU HAD A STUPID CRUSH ON ME? YOU’RE SUCH A CHILD…CAUSE OF SOME STUPID CRUSH OF ME YOU LEFT…LISTEN BLITZ! I CAN DATE WHOEVER I WANTED AND YOU SHOULD HAVE MAN UP AND TAKE IT IF I DIDN’T LIKE YOU” Rainbow screams. Everypony stood silently in the room and looked at Blitz who had deadpan eyes of depression. Twilight got close to Rainbow and was face to face with her. “Now do you understand Twilight…I understand of an apologize but-“ Rainbow was cut off from a magic blast sending her off outside of Blitz house. “WHAT IN TARNATION!” Applejack reacted to Twilight actions. “Twilight what the hay is wrong with you?” “I think you two should leave.” “What?” “Final Warning Applejack…LEAVE!” Twilight showed anger in her eyes...but pure anger that no pony had ever seen in Twilight.” With that, Applejack backed off and went after Rainbow, helped her up, and left the area. With that said, Twilight went and helped Blitz with his injury. “Are you okay?” Blitz asks. “Um…yeah…let's get you fix up…” Twilight said. “Twilight…you’re shaking…” Blitz said while seeing Twilights arms shaking of fear cause of the action she took. “Listen everybody, party is over. I appreciate all of you to be here. So I hope you can respect that I need a moment alone.” With that everypony left and respected his demand. “Girls you should go also…I'll take care myself…” Blitz said trying to get up. “No, butBlitz you're injured!” Pinkie said. “Yeah is true but I think your friend needs help than I do…don't worry about me. I'll see you tomorrow.” Blitz said with a smile. Pinkie looks at Twilight who was still shaking and was about to cry. Fluttershy quickly rushes towards her and helps her up. Pinkie looks at Blitz and understands the situation. “Okay I’ll see you tomorrow. Stop by at Sugarcube Corner tomorrow and we can hang, Oki Doki,” Pinkie said. “Of course, I won't miss it.” With that, Pinkie went to help Twilight and they started to walk outside. Blitz looks at his house and it was a complete mess. He started to walk slowly to the door and closed it and turns the light out. Finding his way to his bed. He manages to get to his bed and rest for a minute. He plants his muzzle in the pillow and bringing him a deep slumber. ------------Flash Back Ended------------------ “Yep sounds about right…” he chuckles and tries to get up from his bed and went to the showers. Few hours have past and Blitz was finishing cleaning up his new house. Rap the trash bag and place it outside, getting the view of Ponyville. He promises to hang with Pinkie today so he knew he needed to get ready and go to Sugarcube Corner. > Chapter 6: Road to Sugar Cube Corner > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 6: The Road to Sugarcube Corner By: Raikiry Blitz was heading to Sugarcube Corner. He knew it wasn’t that far, but for him it was like a five hour walk. He had too many things in his mind, like was it a good idea to come back? He thought Rainbow was going to be happy to see him, but now he realize that she hated his guts now. In the corner of his eye, he notice that he was already in Ponyville and saw some of the ponies looking at him. “Well, everypony from the village did come to the party,” Blitz thought for himself. As he heard whispers from the ponies, he can tell what they were saying. “Is that the stallion who was beat up by Rainbow and Applejack,” a random mare whispers. “Yeah, he deserve it anyway,” one stallion whisper back “No way he didn’t deserve it. Rainbow and Applejack should apologize to him. It wasn’t his fault,” the mare defended him. As he kept hearing positive and negative whispers about him, not only did he felt more depressed, he felt more dead inside. Blitz kept walking and started to ignore the ponies. He finally made it to Sugarcube Corner. He enters Sugarcube Corner and the first sight he see is Pinkie Pie making a bash of cupcakes, and a smile grew when she notice who entered the store. “Blitz!” She ran and bear hugged him. “Pinkie…Air,” he replies with what little oxygen he had. “Oh sorry. Please have a seat. Your right on time too. I’m making fresh cupcakes. They’re not ready yet. I’ve just started making them.” She giggles. Pinkie got Blitz to smile a little bit and he took Pinkie’s offer to sit down. Blitz was quite surprise when he saw the store, When he started to move to Ponyville, he never saw this store. He only knew that there were two ponies who were madly in love with each other when he came in. “So are you okay?” Pinkie asked, getting Blitz to break his mind of thought. “Oh…um OK, I guess. I was just surprised that this store was here, cause back when I moved here, this store wasn’t in Ponyville,” he said. “Oh yeah. That’s because Mr. and Mrs. Cakes built this place when there were young. When I came in as a rookie in the shop, they told me that they had the same dream,” Pinkie said with a smile on her face. “That’s it?” Blitz asked. “Building a baking shop and having a family?” That response made Blitz smile cause of his father’s story of how he met his mother. “So Blitz, I’ve been meaning to ask. Are you married? I know your past, but when you left, you must have met somepony over in your college.” Pinkie asked. “Married?” That word made Blitz’s head hurt. He was hearing a little ringing in his ear and a voice in his head. A familiar voice to be exact, but why couldn’t he remember. Why is he hearing a voice in his head? “Blitz?” Pinkie’s voice brought him back to reality and was looking at her, and by her look she was worried of the expression he was having. “Um…No. I’m not married. I was too focus on my studies,” he replied with a little smile. “Oh okay.” A ding was heard in the background of the kitchen “Oh, the cupcakes are done. I’ll be right back.” She dashes to the kitchen, leaving Blitz in the room. “What was that just now. Why was I struggling to remember something,” he thought to himself. “Hey Blitz. Can you come in the kitchen and help me?” Pinkie yells out. “Um sure!” he yelled back and enters the kitchen to assist Pinkie. At Sweet Apple Acres, Big Mac and Applejack was having an argument in the dining room cause of the actions of Applejack last night. “Applejack, I thought you were better than that, almost killing Blitz while he just came back. I know he left and hurt both you and Rainbow, but that was just taking it too far.” Big Mac said. “He had it coming. Rainbow was hurt badly when he was nowhere to be found, and we thought he was…” She stopped in mid sentence. “Dead?” Big Mac finish her sentence. “Yeah…” “Applejack, aren’t you suppose to be the elements of honesty. All I heard now was that you’re the element of kicking somepony’s flank now.” Big Mac said. “Big Brother!” Applejack slammed her hooves on the table, getting Big Mac attention of what she was about to say. “He hurt Rainbow more than he hurt me. When he disappeared, Rainbow didn’t wanted to come out from her cloud home for weeks. And you were there!.” There was no response from Big Mac as he remembered that his friend was depressed cause of Blitz’s disappearance. “Now what I did was out of line, I know. But I do know he deserve it cause he didn’t felt the pain that me and Rainbow was suffering.” She started walking to the stairs and looked at Big Mac with one more glare of sadness. “All I know is…he should have stayed dead,” she said. As she was going to head upstairs, Big Mac called out to her, making her stop her in tracks. “Little sister, I don’t know what pain you and Rainbow suffered. But I do know this. The pain of Blitz might have been more worst than yours,” Big Mac said while getting up and walking out of the house. With no response, she headed to her room and closed the door behind her. She sat on her bed and notice an old photo from three years ago, It was Bolt and Applejack having a blast on the lake with her family. This was the time she never met Rainbow. -------Three Years Ago---------------- “Oh come on Applejack. It’s not funny! Where you put my sunglasses? You know I hate it when the sun shine at my eyes,” Blitz said while looking in his bag. “Well sugarcube, why are you accusing me that I took your sunglasses.” She giggle, holding in the lie. “Cause I know you and your not good of lying,” Bolt said sticking out his tongue. “He’s right AJ. Why not give him his glasses and come help me on this here tire rope for Apple Bloom to play on,” Big mac said pulling a rope with a tire. “Oh alright. It’s by my bag,” Applejack said laughing softly and went galloping to help on Big Mac. Blitz walks to Applejack’s bag and saw his sunglasses next to the sunscreen. “Ah, much better,” he replied with satisfied tone. He went towards Applejack and Big Mac and was looking at them putting up the tire rope. “So, anything I can help?” Blitz asked. “Well sugarcube, there is. Go check on Apple Bloom and Granny. They’re taking too long to get here,” Applejack said. “On it!” Blitz saluted and walked towards the little wagon that was a few kilometers away from the lake. As he was walking, Applejack giggles at his remark and continue helping her big brother. She saw Big Mac had a smug on her face and she tilt her head of confusion. “What’s with that look?” she replies to her big brother. “Oh nothing. Just wondering if you have a thing For Blitz,” Big Mac said, finishing the tire rope. “WHAT!” Applejack was shocked at the remark. “Me and Blitz? No, no, no. He’s like a brother to me. And I also met him last year. He’s like family to me,” she replied with a hint of blush on her face. “Mm,” Big Mac said. “Come on big brother. Don’t tease me. I’m being honest. Really, he’s like a second brother I never had. And besides, Granny Smith and Apple Bloom said so too. He’s more like a family member than a friend. I mean he’s funny and handsome and…” She stop when she realize that last remark. “Eeyep,” he said walking past by her little sister. “Forget what I just said!” she said while her face was like wine red. Blitz came back with Apple Bloom and Granny Smith, and then realize Applejack blushed and was confuse on what was going on. “Um, is everything okay?” Blitz asked. “Applejack, your face is red. Do you have a fever or something?” “Nope, I’m fine. Just……help out my brother while I put sunscreen on Apple Bloom,” she said while grabbing the sunblock from her bag. “Okay?” He said confused and went towards Big Mac, seeing that he was preparing a picnic by the tree. He walk towards Big Mac. “Hey Big Mac,” Blitz said. “Applejack asked if you needed any help on anything.” “Heh, she did? Well there’s nothing to help partner. Everything is prepared. “Well?” “Come on everypony. A family photo!” Granny Smith yelled getting the attention of Blitz and Big Mac. As the two stallions smile and went towards the family, everypony was getting ready for the group photo. Except Blitz, who was standing on the sidelines. “Well, what are you waiting for sunny? We can’t have the family photo with out you,” Granny smith said. “What?” He was surprise by her response. “Yeah Blitz. Come on. You’re part of the family now,” Apple Bloom said. “Eeyep,” Big Mac replied. Blitz looks at Applejack and saw a beautiful smile on her face. “They’re right partner. You’re part of family. And without you, there’s no family photo,” Applejack replied. “Aww shucks. You’re gonna make me blush,” Blitz teased. “Oh get in here you big Doof.” Applejack went and pulled Blitz to the group and headlock Blitz. “Hey?!” “You’re part of the family now, boy. And you’re like a little brother I never had.” Applejack laughed. “Now say apples!” Granny smith yells. “APPLES!” The photo was taken and it shows the whole Apple family and Blitz in the photo. Blitz looked at the photo and smiled at the picture, hoping he can get a copy of the picture. “Now last one in the lake is a rotten pony!” Applejack yelled while galloping towards the lake. “Oh no. I’m not going to lose to you again!” Blitz said while running after Applejack. Laughter was heard in the family and the mare and the stallion who was running towards the lake was having a great time. Not just has friends, but as a family. -------Present------- A tear fell on the photo, and in Applejack’s eyes was falling tears of sadness, remembering the great memory that she made with Blitz. And now that she knows he’s not in the after life and is in Ponyville, she only feels anger and sadness in her heart. “Why did you came back Blitz, you idiot.” She sobs and cover her face into the pillow. > Chapter 7: The Emotion That’s Is In Me > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 7: The Emotion That’s Is In Me Written by: Raikiry The cyan pegasus was screaming with a frustration and rage. She was throwing everything inside her home. She bucked a vase and was throwing everything with a brutal force. Rainbow see’s her picture with Blitz, and without thinking, she took the picture and threw it out of her window. “This has been the worst day ever!” Rainbow screams. She later notice the wreckage she made in her own home and the mess she made. She took a deep breath and calm down. She sat for a moment to recollect her emotions. She knew screaming and breaking her property isn’t going to solve anything. “I need to go and apologize to Twilight and Pinkie,” she said. “Celestia damn it. What a mess I made.” While looking at her living room, she knew she had to clean all this up later on, but not now. Rainbow collected herself and from the floor and walk towards the window. “Three years Blitz. Three bucking years I suffered cause of your disappearance. I gave up cause no pony couldn’t find you and they presume you dead.” A tear escapes from Rainbow’s eyes. “And now you return like nothing happen.” She looks at Celestia’s sun getting ready to set and was ready to raise Luna’s moon. “I can’t even think straight right now.” Rainbow turns away from the window and headed upstairs to her room. With her left wing she turns the knob and reveals her room, and by her point of view it was a complete mess worst than her living room. She ignores the mess and went straight to her bed. Her face slams into the pillow and a muffle was heard in the pillow, and it reveals a scream from Rainbow Dash. She turns her head and see’s another picture frame from her bedroom desk. She stared at the frame for a moment and couldn’t think straight. She was too angry at the moment. She remembers the pain the she couldn’t deal with in the past when Blitz disappeared. Luckily, if it wasn’t for Applejack and a couple of friends at her workplace, she wouldn’t be here right now. Luna’s moon was up and above and all of the stars was up in the night sky. Rainbow decided to rest for the night and forget about all the mess that happened. She close her eyes and went to a deep slumber. At Sugarcube Corner, Blitz came out of the shop and wave goodbye to Pinkie Pie and called it a night. Blitz walks back to his place, and while he was at Sugarcube Corner, it was like his problems that happened yesterday disappeared for a moment. He walked back home and was calm and relaxing for the moment at least. By the corner of his eye, he notice a familiar pony standing besides a tree that is in front of Luna Lake by the far. Blitz notice it was none other than Big Mac, Applejack’s big brother. At the time when he realized who it was, his whole body froze. Big Mac turns around and notice Blitz looking straight at him. Blitz froze in place and Big Mac walks towards him. And all Blitz could think of was to run away and avoid another problem, but he couldn’t. His whole body was frozen and he couldn’t move. He was getting closer and closer and Blitz was prepared for the worst that was going to happen. “It’s been a long time Red” Big Mac said. Blitz looks straight at Big Mac and notice a smile at the red pony. He didn’t show anger or felt like betting him up. It looks like he was glad to see him. “Yeah…” Blitz said in a timid voice. Blitz’s fear was blocking the words that he wanted to say. But he realize that he wasn’t going to attack him. Big Mac notice the fear in Blitz, and he shows another gentle smile to him to see if he could calm down and it did. “Don’t worry partner. I’m not angry. Actually, I’m relived that you’re fine. But leaving without saying a word was taking it too far,” Big Mac said. “Why do you care if I was gone!” Blitz screams. Mac was shocked of his reply and smiles and looks at Blitz “Cause like the family said back at the Lake, you’re part of the Apple Family now, and we care. And you got us all heart broken when you were no where to be found,” Big Mac said. “If you don’t mind me asking, what happen that made you leave?” A sigh of defeat escapes from Blitz mouth and then looks at Mac. “It’s going to be a long story,” he said. “I got all night partner” Big Mac shows a smile for his little brother. The night sky was beautiful and Luna’s work was outstanding. The two stallions were sitting in front of Luna Lake and Blitz explain to Big Mac why he disappeared for three years. “So the rumors are true,” Big Mac said looking at Luna’s moon. “I guess so. Now Rainbow and Applejack hates my guts and might want to kill me if they see me again,” Red said, grabbing a pebble and threw it at the lake. “Give them some time. They will come around. It was just your return was so shocking.” Big Mac looks at Red. “We all thought something horrible happened to you.” Silence was heard in their surrounding and the only sound that was heard was the crickets singing the night. Blitz stares at his reflection from the lake. He then notices Big Mac getting up and was ready to go back to Sweet Apple Acres at the moment when he was ready to leave. The red stallion turns to Blitz and ask him, “Hey Blitz, you got a job?” Blitz looks at him with a confuse look “No,” he replied. “Well I could use some extra hooves in Sweet Apples Acres. And also, if you come, there might be two ponies who will be very happy to see you. “What about Applejack. Wouldn’t she be piss if I go work at Sweet Apple Acres again? She might kill me,” Blitz said while getting up from the ground. “Don’t worry about her. I’ll go talk to her.” He smiles. “So you interested?” “Well I do need the bits…” Red thought to himself and later didn’t have any other opportunities. “Well okay. What time you want me to be there?” “You know how we work Blitz. It’s not your first rodeo partner.” Big mac laughed. “Early in the morning” Red smirks. “Eeyep.” Big Mac waves goodbye and headed back to his home. “Well, I guess I’ll get some shut eye then,” Blitz said while heading to his home. He started to walk towards the direction where his house was at and wondered what was going to happen when he step into the land mine. Few minutes has past, and Blitz reached his destination and saw his house from a few kilometers. He kept on walking towards it and knowing that he can fly towards his house, it would be a lot faster. But he wanted to just walk for the time being. For him, it was a better way to clear his head. He reach his front door and started to unlock it. The creak of his door opening and the sight of his place being full of darkness and full of silence made him question. Is he going to be alone forever or are Celestia and Luna are saving a special somepony just for him? He pushed those thought out the way and went towards his bed. The door shut behind him and he continued to go towards his bedroom. The bedroom door opens and Blitz enters the room to get ready to get some shut eye. He dropped his whole body to the bed and felt relaxed. He fell asleep in an instant. But for him, he thought he is still awake. Blitz opens his eyes and notice the whole room was black. He felt he was floating in mid air. He could hear his thoughts out loud. He later noticed that it was all a dream. He heard a melody that somepony was humming. Blitz heard that humming before but couldn’t remember where he heard it. He looks to his left and see’s a mysterious mare beside him. “Who are you?” he asked. She stop humming the melody and smiles at Blitz. “You need to remember, Blitz. If you want to know who I am, all you have to do is remember.” She giggles. “How can I remember?” He questions the mare. “All that will be coming soon, Blitz.” She then notice a light behind her and knew what that was. “My time is up,” she said. “Until next time, Red.” She show a warm smile to Blitz. “Wait!” The mare was walking away from him. Blitz wanted to go after her, but couldn’t. He wanted to ask her who was she, but he started to fall and eventually woke up. He notice he was back in his room and saw the that sun would be up soon. He looks at his surrounding and knew he was in his own room “Was that a dream? It felt so real,” he said. Blitz got up from his bed and went to wash up. He was going to get ready to go Sweet Apple Acres on his first day of the job, and all of he could think about was what was going to happen when he arrives there. > Chapter 8: Entering into the Minefield > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 8: Entering Into the Minefield Written by: Raikiry The walk to Sweet Apple Acres was a little bit long on Blitz, being that he was heading towards the Apple family farm so he can go to start his first day on the job. While he was at his house, he washed up and ate breakfast. As he went towards his new work place, he was thinking how it’s going to turn out, being that Applejack was going to be there. “Wonder if I will get jumped by Applejack again.” Blitz laugh to his little humor joke. As he arrived at the sign of ‘Welcome to Sweet Apple Acres’, he noticed somepony beside the welcome sign. He kept on getting closer to see who it was, and then notice it was Applejack. She notice Blitz walking towards her and the first thing she did when she saw his face was give an annoyed look towards him. Applejack and Red Blitz were face to face in the middle of the road that leads to Sweet Apple Acres and silence was filled in the area, until Applejack broke the silence. “Big Mac explained about you working at the farm. At first I wasn’t too happy about it, but we do need a helping hoof on the farm,” Apple Jack said. Then she got a little closer to him with a deadly stare. “Also, when we get there, I don’t want you talking to me or getting close towards me. I won’t forgive you about what you did.” She said giving him a push away from her. “……” No words were said from Blitz and knew the commands she demanded. He stared at the ground and wasn’t making eye contact. “At least were at a good start,” she said while taking the lead to Sweet Apple Acres. The walk towards Sweet Apple Acres was quiet. No conversation or eye contact was made. He didn’t want to break the demands that she made, but in Blitz’s heart, he was relieved that he could see that Applejack doing fine. As they arrive at the farm, Applejack turns around to face Blitz. He looks at her and was waiting for the first order he need to do to start working. She points a hoof to the right, and by the first glance, he notice a stack of hay piled up on the other side. “See those stack of hay over there?” Blitz nodded and looks back at Applejack. “I want you to pull each of them and put them behind the house,” she said, leaving the area and going to buck some trees. Blitz walks towards the stack and started pulling one of the stack and putting it on his back. He knew how strong he was, so he knew this work won’t be that difficult for him. As he pulls and pulls, and was getting close to behind the house. He releases one the stacks he was pulling and notice he’s behind the house. So he pushes one the stack that he released close to the wall and releases the stack from his back. To his realization, he remembered the good times when he used to hang out over the farm when he was a teen. He also remembered when Applejack and Big Mac pranked him when he fell asleep on the job. He smiles and turns around to get back to work, but he notice a young filly standing in front of him. To his shock, it was Apple Bloom. He couldn’t forget that big red bow that was tied in her mane and her cute adorable face. She was smiling and tearing up in front of him. He was wondering if those tears was sadness or happiness. The atmosphere changed like time stopped and everything was in deep silence until Apple Bloom spoke. “So you came back,” she said. “I…guess I did,” Blitz responded to her. “Can I ask you a question, Red?” Apple Bloom asked. “Um…Sure.” He looks at the filly and waited for the question. “Why didn’t you stay dead?” Those words that came out of Apple Bloom’s mouth struck Blitz’s heart like a royal spear. She drops her head and grabbed the metal bucket that was next to him and left him in shock because of the question she just asked. Blitz was silent, and no words came out of his mouth. He was frozen in place and was still synching those words in. He finally moves and was heading towards the stack of hay that was left. His eyes shows nothing but a dark shade. No emotion was shown what-so-ever. Then after hours and hours pass, Blitz finished his work without saying a word. Blitz saw the sun going down, so he decided before leaving the area that it was better to see the sun going down. He remembers a hill close to the Apple’s house. He use to go there to relax on the little hill. He walks towards the direction to the hill and sees it. He climbs up the little hill and remembered why this was his favorite spot. He could see all of Ponyville from were he was sitting. He closed his eyes and those words was still in his head. ‘Why didn’t you stay dead?’ He open his eyes and decided to forget what just happen, knowing best that he didn’t want to make it worst how it was. He realize he didn’t cry when it happen and remembered that he ran out of tears to cry. He see’s the sun going down and decided to forget all about what just happen and see the beautiful nature take place to set nightfall. Applejack got out of the farm and was drying out her coat of the sweat she work up. She heard wings flapping above her and hear it descending from the air. She looks up and saw her best friend Rainbow Dash. She descend from the air and landed in front of Applejack. “Howdy Rainbow.” She smiles and tip her hat to greet her rainbow friend. “Hey AJ. How are you doing?” Rainbow asked. “Well, great… and not so great. See, Big Mac hired Bolt for him to work here at Sweet Apple Acres and I wasn’t so happy about it. But realizing that we needed a helping hoof, we didn’t had any other choice,” she said. That name that Applejack mention made Rainbow flinch and change her mood from calm to slight of anger. She looks around the area to see if she could find Blitz. “So where is that no good for life Pegasus,” Rainbow said with an angry tone in her voice. “Heck if I should know. All I know was that I told him to not talk to me and push some hay to the back of my house” “Hm. Look, I came here to tell you we need to apologize to Pinkie and Twilight for our little action from the party. And I really don’t want to lose my two best friends,” Rainbow said. “Yeah, you’re right about that sugarcube…how about this. There’s a little karaoke at the middle of Ponyville that just open up. How about inviting them there and we could work things out. You know, a gals night out,” Applejack said while Rainbow got happy from her idea. “That’s a great idea! I’ll tell them. Meet me over there when you’re finish,” Rainbow said while getting ready to take flight. “Gotcha” Applejack replied. At the corner of her eye, Applejack sees Blitz leaving the area. “Well speak of Discord,” Applejack gives a signal to look at her direction for Rainbow to look, and she sees Blitz. “Hm…” was all that Rainbow said and decided to forget about him and got back to their plan to apologize. The two mares went their separate ways and got ready to their gals night out for tonight. Blitz walks alone on some road to Ponyville and decided not to go home yet, knowing there won’t be anyone waiting for him there. He enters the village and notice a familiar mare walking out of a music store. “Lyra!” Blitz scream at her getting her attention. She turns towards his direction and sees Blitz’s face. She was very happy to see him again. She gallops towards him and gave him a hug, forgetting everything that happen. Blitz was happy to see her and knowing that he has a friend in the village. “Hey, how are you Lyra,” Blitz said. “I am doing great. How about you? You look like you were playing with the mud.” Lyra giggles. He laughed at her remark and tries to clean himself up. “So um…I was kinda looking for you.” Blitz looks at her and sees a hint of blush in her face. “Really?” He asked. “Yeah. See, me and my friend are going to this karaoke, and I mention you then. She said why not invite you to hang with us,” she said with a warm smile. “Really? I’m not intruding, am I?” Blitz asked. “No, no, no, no, no. Of course not. She doesn’t mind. And I was kinda hoping if you would say yes to my offer.” She grew a smile. Blitz thinks for a moment about the offer. He thought for bit, and it has been awhile since anypony invited him to hang out. With all that’s happen to him, he wanted to relax a bit. But like his father use to say to him when he was a little colt, it better to be with friends than being alone. He looks at Lyra and decided on her offer. “Sure I’ll come.” He smiles. “Really?!!… I mean *Cough*…That’s cool,” she said, grabbing Blitz and pulling him to the karaoke “Apparently, it’s almost at Ponyville and it at the end of the west entrance of the village. So come on. My friend isn’t patient,” she said while pulling him to get started to walk. Lyra and Blitz were walking at the direction where Lyra’s friend was at, and it was quite a walk towards their destination. “So I heard about what happen at your welcome party and your background story,” Lyra said. “It’s alright. Besides, I deserve it anyways. Who leaves Ponyville when somepony who cares about you like a brother and not saying word…” Bolt said. “Besides no one cares about me anyways.” Lyra pause in her tracks and looks at Blitz. He turns around and looks at Lyra “No,” she whispers. “Sorry?” Blitz said while confuse on what she said. “I said no. You didn’t deserve that. And also, if she really cared, why the buck would she beat up on you. If I was her, I wouldn’t do that. I would be happy that you’re okay and not hurt!” She screams at Blitz, getting him surprised on those words she just said. Blitz looks away and just realize that when he came back to this place, he never had anypony care about him since he moved in. He looks back at her and shows a warm smile at her, and maybe he won’t have to face his problems alone. “Heh. Thanks Lyra. To be honest, I never had a pony care about me when I came back. So, thanks,” he said. Lyra blushes and shows a warm smile to him and went back walking with Bolt. Then realization struck her “OH NO!” “What? What happen?!” Blitz got spook cause of her loud voice. “My friend may leave if we don’t make it in time, and it’s already late…Ah Celestia, what now,” Lyra said panicking. Blitz looks at the direction where it was located and was thinking how to get there fast. Then realization hit him. He looks at his wings and realize he hasn’t flew when he got here and decided to start now. “I think I know how to get there fast,” Blitz said with a smirk. “Really? How?” Lyra asked. “Well, let’s just say you might need to hold on tight for this one,” Blitz said, grabbing Lyra’s hooves. She blush and notice she was starting to spin around. At first, it was a slow pause. But then, it was getting faster and faster by the second. “Blitz, what are you doing?” “Well, here’s the plan. I’m going to throw you over our location, and I’m going to fly over there before you splat somewhere on the wall,” Blitz said, getting Lyra shocked on what he just said. “Wait, wha-” She was cut off when he releases her and threw her like it was a little pebble. Blitz was flapping his wings and closed his eyes and took a deep breath before he goes. ‘Okay Blitz. Remember who you are. Remember what species you are and Most important…Remember…Who’s…Fastest!’ With those words, Blitz launches and flew and with a blink of an eye, he was already at full speed. By the pegasus record book, he already broken all of them. A noise was reveled behind a little bush and came out an orange filly with her mouth open on what she just saw. Not only he saw a pony faster than the Wonderbolts, but more faster than her sister, Rainbow Dash. She couldn’t even see him cause his speed of flight was superior than any other pegasus. She couldn’t believe it. “That was……AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” > Chapter 9: Sharing with Old Friends > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 9: Sharing with Old Friends Written by: Raikiry The night arrived in Ponyville, and everypony was closing their shops and call it a night, while others open up bars, clubs, and Midnight restaurants. At the peak of Ponyville, there was a building that was bright and lighting up the streets of Ponyville, and one mare was outside of the front door with an inpatient look. “I can’t believe she’s late,” she said. While she was getting more irritated, she heard a long distant scream. And it was getting closer and closer until she realize she saw a pony coming straight towards her. At that time, she realized that it was her best friend, Lyra, screaming, “Flying unicorn coming through!” She panicked. It looked like she wasn’t going to stop and was going to hit the wall of the building that was behind her. She started to panic even more until a strong wind hit her face and notice a stallion next to her. “Who are you?!” she stated. He looks at the mare and notice that this must be Lyra’s friend that she mention. “Oh you must be Lyra’s friend. It’s nice to meet you. Name’s Red Blitz, Blitz for short,” he said. While she looked at the stallion, she forgotten that Lyra was going to be splattered next to them. If they don’t think of something, she might be kissing the wall. “Okay, can you stand aside while I catch your friend,” he said to her. She did what he ask and saw her friend getting closer and closer. She closed her eyes and waited for what was going to happen next. No sound was made. The only thing she heard was “THAT WAS AWESOME!” She realized it was Lyra’s voice and opened her eyes to see her in one piece. She was confuse as to what just happened. Lyra looked at her friend and smiled to her. “Bonbon!” Lyra screamed her friend’s name and gave her a big hug, but she noticed that she had an annoying look on her face. “Don’t Bonbon me. What in Celestia’s sake just happen? Why were you flying…sorta” Bonbon said wanting an explanation. “Oh, well if you must know. I bumped into Red, and you said it was cool if I let him tag along.” Bonbon nodded, agreeing that she stated that. “While we started to head towards the karaoke, we were running late, and Blitz was like ‘I know how to get there faster.’ And then I was like ‘how?’ And all of a sudden, I was flying and I think I swallow a bug. And then-” She was cut off by Blitz knowing she was going to make this a long story. “Um, lets just say we kinda made it. But like I said, it’s nice to meet you. Name’s Red Blitz, Blitz for short.” He raised his hooves and Bonbon accepted his hoof shake. “Well is nice to meet you Blitz. Name’s Bonbon, and I own the candy store not long from here. See, Lyra said you were new here. So why not come to the store, I mean if you have a sweet tooth.” Bonbon said. “I’ll see what I can do.” Blitz smiled. “Awesome. We’re getting along great. Like we’re old friends or something. But either way, let’s party until we’re drunk!” Lyra screamed while getting excited at the same time. “Lyra, I don’t think we are not getting any alcohol in this place. They told me they only serve orange soda,” Bonbon said while witnessing Lyra getting more excited. “Alright! We are so getting drunk tonight!!” Lyra screams while entering the building. Blitz at some point was processing if it’s possible to get drunk with soda. If it’s even possible at all. And then, he had a worried look on his face. Why is he thinking about getting drunk with soda? Bonbon and Blitz entered and followed their mint green friend to get started on ordering a room. Twilight appeared behind them and notice Blitz entering the building. “Blitz?” Twilight whispers behind her breath until a jumpy voice scared the living Celestia out of her. “HI TWILIGHT!” With that, Twilight jumped up in the air and got spooked by her pink friend. “Pinkie! How many times do I have to tell you to stop doing that,” Twilight said while her heart was pounding faster than rainbow speed. “Sorry. I forgot. So let me guess. Rainbow Dash invited you here and wanted to apologize?” Pinkie said with a happy tone and jumping up and down. “Yeah, how did you know?” Twilight asked. “Cause she went towards Sugarcube Corner and invited me to have a Girls Night Out.” Pinkie said. While Twilight was going to ask something else, she notice a rainbow haired mare appearing behind Pinkie and was followed by the farm pony behind her. “Hey girls,” Rainbow said. Neither Twilight or Pinkie said a word, and Pinkie still had that smile on her face and jumping up and down. “Um hey girls,” Applejack said. “Listen, me and Rainbow like to apologize and leave this awkwardness behind us and continue being best friends. Cause like me and Rainbow agreed that we don’t want to lose you girls as friends.” Twilight looked at Applejack and Rainbow as they waited for a response. She was about to open her mouth, but Pinkie was the first one to talk. “Listen closely you silly filly. I ain’t going to forgive and forget that somepony jump and attack a nice stallion for a stupid reason, and I will say this once. You’re not suppose to make up with us,” Pinkie stop her jumping and went towards Applejack and Rainbow. “You’re suppose to apologize to Blitz.” The words that came out of Pinkie were heard with a serious tone. Applejack decided to step up. “Like hell I’ll apologize to him. He deserve what was coming for being that damn selfish,” she said with anger in her voice. Rainbow on the other hand didn’t say a word. She simply wanted to have fun tonight. But the look on Rainbow’s face when she saw Pinkie’s eyes with a fury of anger made her not like what she said. Pinkie didn’t said a word. She only walk past Twilight and entered the building. The purple unicorn followed her inside. Silence was filled outside where they stood. They decided to forget what happened and go inside. Inside of the building, or better, yer Karaoke Hay, Bonbon, Lyra, and Blitz were ordering the room. “Here you go, good sir. The room is 342,” the mare from the desk said to Blitz. Blitz thanked the mare and went towards Lyra and Bonbon. They notice Blitz coming with the room key and was about to say something until Blitz heard a familiar voice. “What do you mean your rooms are full!” He turns his head and see none other than Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Twilight and Pinkie Pie. “I’m sorry Miss Dash, but somepony got the last key,” the mare explain to her. “But who got the room?” she ask. A hoof was pointed directed at Blitz and the girls, and all he could do was smile and wave at them. That made Rainbow angry when notice who took the last room. Not until Pinkie tackled him for a hug. “Ohhhh Blitz! I didn’t know you were here,” she said while crushing Blitz. “Yeah…Pinkie…Air!” he said while struggling for some air. “Oh sorry.” The pink mare smiled and let him go from the bear hug. Twilight came up from behind Pinkie and gave a warm smile towards Blitz and was glad that he was doing okay. “Twilight, how you doing?” Blitz ask towards the purple unicorn. “Fine. How about you, cause I see you meet Lyra and Bonbon. It seem you guys are hanging out.” She gave a smile while he laugh and admits that he decided to hang out with them. “Yeah, I met Lyra when I first came to Ponyville. And Bonbon, I just met her today,” he said. “So what? So you can later leave them without saying anything.” He heard Rainbow’s insults going towards him but he decided to ignore them. “It looks like you girls couldn’t get a room. How about we share.” He looks at Lyra and Bonbon. “I don’t mind,” Bonbon said. “Yeah me either,” Lyra added. “That’s great. So what do you say?” He awaits for Twilight’s response but Applejack cut in. “No thanks. We have better things to do than see your face all night.” Applejack insult came directly towards him. He didn’t know what happen, but something came to his mind and automatic said it to her face. “I didn’t ask you and I never knew your name was Twilight.” With a dead pan looks towards Applejack, she got shocked with his response and back away. Twilight witness this remark and looked back at him and accepted his offer. “That’s great. Our room is 342,” he said, giving the key to Twilight. All the girls went towards the room. Besides Applejack and Rainbow, he notice they were standing still in the hall of the building. He took a long look at them, and they were ready to leave. His voice made them stop in their tracks. “I never said you girls couldn’t come.” Applejack and Rainbow were standing in front of the exit and later turn around. They didn’t acknowledge him or made eye contact. They simply walk past him and Applejack certainly bump him on purpose. He ignore the rude attitude on her. He turns around and went towards the room. As he walked inside and see how amazing it looks, the decor and the Karaoke was huge. And the drinks looks like that it would last all night. He took a seat beside Lyra and saw Applejack and Rainbow at the opposite end of the table. “So who wants to go first?” Pinkie said excitedly. Upon hearing that, he saw a smirk that came across Rainbow faces and knew that it wasn’t going to be good. “I got an idea.” She looks at him “How about we make it a little challenging. Let’s let baby boy over there take the mic,” she said while taking the mic and handing it towards him. ‘Now she going to name call me now.’ He awaited for her challenge on what was her ideal challenge. “See there.” She points a hoof and all them notice a paper in front of the Karaoke. ‘Welcome Gentlecolts and Mares. If you’re reading this, that means you’re interested in a challenge we develop. If you look on your left, there’s a yellow button. That button will active it and show a screen, and one of our staff will be notified and will be inspecting you from our magical camera that our own princess Celestia made. On to the challenge, one of you will need to sing a made up song in their heads while the other will count how many stars will shoot in the screen. Be warned, it will get difficult by the minute. So are you willing to take the challenge? If your group wins, you will win ten tickets to a deluxe hotel at Canterlot and also receive tickets to the Wonderbolts show to meet the one and only Spitfire. So are you willing to take the challenge’ With that written, Rainbow notice those sentence. Not only is she a fan girl that if they win, she also forgot about the cruel joke she was about to pull while making them read. Blitz got interested on the challenge. He still is a fan of the Wonderbolts and will gladly enjoy the show. But making your own song, he knew it will be difficult. “So Blitz, will you gladly take the lead and let us count, we have our generous princess on our side and we’ll have the chance to win the tickets and the hotel reservation.” Lyra said while looking back at them and waiting at his response. Except of course Applejack and Rainbow. But Rainbow already was paying attention to the screen, so she definitely wants those tickets. “Alright, let’s do this,” Blitz said with a smile and push the button, making a sound. He noticing the camera turn on and seeing the screen turn on and saying ‘Are you ready?’ With everypony getting ready to have fun, he was slight nervous and hoping he didn’t ruin this for them. But then upon hearing Applejack insult made it different. “Hope you don’t chicken out baby boy,” she said. Blitz knew they were counting on him. So he took a deep breath and something whisper into his ear ‘Just Have Fun.’ This made Blitz turn to his left and see’s Lyra smile at him, making him brave and do this for them. The screen started to count down and everypony was getting ready to start the challenge. ‘3…2…1…go!’ And it begins. The song ended and everypony was exhausted. Even Blitz, who took a breather. Later, the sound of ‘Congratulations’ came to the screen and everypony cheered. Everything was exciting. They won a trip to go to Canterlot, plus to go meet the Wonderbolts. Everything settled down and everything was back to normal. Everypony was making small talk and Applejack and Rainbow Dash were still ignoring him. They even shared insults towards them, but that didn’t ruined his night. He felt sleepy and decided to take a nap in the couch while everypony had fun. His eyes closed and in an instant he felt relaxed. Later, he tried to open his eyes. But at his point of view only could see darkness. He looks around and wasn’t in the room anymore. “Twilight, Pinkie?!” He calls, but no response. Only his voice echoing the surrounding area. Until he saw a mare in front of him, making him startled and falling down. He heard a giggle. He looks at the mare and it was oddly familiar. “Hello. Who are you?” he ask. “My, my. You sure fell asleep fast,” the mysterious pony said. “Um, by do respect, who are you?” he ask politely. “Thou wish to see us? Then it shall be granted.” She finally reveals herself and it was none other than the Princess of the Night. “P-Princess Luna!” Blitz got shock and bowed by his ruler and the another giggle was heard. “We wish you not to bow for our peasant, Mr Blitz,” Luna said making him calm down. “Um, thank you Princess. But if I could say, whats going on?” he asked, confused on why the Princess herself is in front of him in his dream. Well, that he thought that he was in his dream. “Please my little pony. You can call me Luna. Also Mr Blitz, the answer that you wish to seek, I’ll shall tell. I was raising the moon, and as my royal duties to protect my subjects from any nightmare, I jump from dream to dream. I stopped and felt a strong emotion that I was unfamiliar of.” She took a step forward and decided to walk, making Blitz follow. “As I decided to check the disturbances, I landed here in your mind.” He got shock when she said the princess herself was in his mind. “We know your incident with the Element Applejack and Rainbow Dash, and we saw your pain. As I thought that was the pain we sense. Sadly it was not.” Blitz got more shock. What was the pain she was talking about? “See as a Alicorn of the Night, I have the ability to scroll through your memories. Please follow,” Luna said while entering a room full of light. Blitz followed her inside and witness his full memories from Present, Past, and Future. As they walk past Blitz’s memories, he cried, laugh, and even wish he didn’t see the embarrassment from his past. Twenty minutes walking into his memories, he notice Luna who stop in her tracks and was looking at white multiple screens. “Princess, what are these?” Blitz asked. “It appears it is a lost memory that you forgotten.” Princess got concern on these screen on what was hidden behind the memories he had. “Is it bad?” he asked. “Well no…it just disturbs me. Cause some pony have a one block memory, but you’re the first who has multiple.” The princess said while continue walking past them. As they walk, something grabbed her attention again. But this time, she was interested in this dream memory that she called it. “This one is interesting,” she said. As Blitz looks, he suddenly remembered that memory. The mare who was humming peacefully. He looks at the princess. “But that wasn’t you who was in my dream, humming?” he asked. “I’m afraid not my little pony. This is our first encounter with each other.” This got him more curious by the princess until she heard the word that came from the mysterious mare’s mouth. ‘Remember’ The screen goes black. Luna and Blitz stood and he was confuse on what was going on. Luna, on the other hoof, looks at the white screens that were still there and looks at Blitz. “Mr Blitz, as these situations appeared on us, I think I should investigate more deeply, but not now,” she said. Making Blitz turn and look at Luna, who open another light door. “For now it’s time for you to get up.” With that, Blitz got push towards the door and instantly woke up in the room. He was back in the real world. He felt dizzy and it was because of the nap. He then notice everypony left. Until he felt a warm comfort from somepony. He later notice Lyra sleeping on his shoulder. At this point, it was the time to panic. But Blitz looked at Lyra peacefully sleeping and smiling. When he met Lyra, he could tell sadness was in her. But now she was happy. So he decided to stay like that for a bit and left her to wake up, but it still bother Blitz. Who was the mysterious mare that told him to remember? He decided to let it happen when the time was right and not let it bother him. But he knew the princess will resolve his problems and will be notified to see what will resolve it. > Chapter 10: A Untold Memory > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 10: A Untold Memory Written by:Raikiry Water drops echoing around the area and the sound of wind passing through his ear. Blitz saw he is in the middle of an abyss everything was dark and nopony was found, he could tell this was a dream. He didn't move he stood there until he felt ponies voices echoing the area. He looks to his surrounding and he notice couples walking laughing and chatting. Having a happy life and not knowing how it feels the broken heart. He moves his head forward and a Rainbow mare was standing in front of him while a western cowpony was next to her. They had a smirk creep up in her mouth and then look to each other. In a flash they started making out in front of Blitz. For a minute did he not felt emotion or movement as he stood still and watched until the illusion disappear but he could hear Rainbow’s voice. “You should be a stallion and take it. Like who runs away from a silly heart break? I knew the minute I met you, I had the feeling that you were a loser to begin with.” she says as her voice disappears in the fading darkness. Ponies started to reappear through his sight and everypony was looking at him while holding their lover by their Side. He could hear laughing echoing around him. He returns for a reason but now that was long forgotten. A sigh escape from his mouth. He smiles as he hears the laugh from the couples that surrounds him and a thought came to his head. He observes the ponies that are with their partner while they exchange smiles, kisses and looks. They have fun, they entertain themselves and they fall in love. Everything turns into darkness when he finishes the sentence. A roster was heard in his bedroom window with Celestia’s sun blinding him through the curtains. A mumble came in his mouth and he opens one eye and sees he is in his bedroom He uncovers himself with the blanket that was supposed to cover the cold but the night was freezing. He got out of bed and stretch making a few wing bones crack. He looks at his right and sees the beautiful sunrise and notice it was seven in the morning. “Well I guess it’s time to start a new day.” He says to himself while exiting his bedroom and walking towards the bathroom. He got on the shower and let the warm water fall and touch is fur feeling the relaxing warmth of the water to start the morning. He thought back to the dream about last night but shrug it off. He step out the shower and started to dry himself while heading into the kitchen. “Maybe a little coffee can lighten the mood.” he says while starting to make a little coffee. It's been a few weeks since the night of the karaoke, he still has the ticket for the Wonderbolts show, Lyra and Bon Bon weren't fans of the show so they gave the tickets to him. The other ticket was given to Rainbow Dash although she wasn't happy about going to the show with him. But why is she bother by it she could go alone and he can just appear than. He quitted from working with Applejack and started working at Bon Bon Candy shop. He felt a little joy in him watching the little fillies and colts asking for candies and seeing parents with their child. The pay was good and Bon Bon insisted on giving him the day off Today. Now he was in his Living Room wondering what to do today. A sudden Knock came from his door. He walks towards the door and starting to open it revealing Big Mac in his front door. Confused on what he’s doing here but he knew at least there was an apple family stills his friend. “Hey Big Mac what’s up?” Blitz said inviting him inside. The red stallion step inside the house and witness the household of Blitz and one word came to the stallion mind was impressive. Blitz House was like luxury but not the high type just decent. He snaps out his thoughts about the house and looks at Blitz who was seated down drinking coffee while his right wind was holding the newspaper. “Say Blitz” Big Mac called out from behind. “I’ve meaning to ask you something before you left the farm.”Blitz took one last sip and knew where this going was “You see, when you started working here I noticed that you never talk while in the farm. What gives?” “Well before I got into Sweet Apple Acres, Applejack was standing in the middle of the road waiting for me and she indicated me to not speak I was there.” Blitz said remembering the exact words from Applejack. “That girl is really going get in trouble if she keeps this up. Listen I’m really sorry about that” “No is okay. Besides I deserve it anyways.” Blitz said as he lets out a sigh. “Now don't say that partner, I never experience heart break but I do know this, nothing was your fault.” Big mac said while started walking out the room. “Now listen I came here not for that, I came here to invite you for dinner at my house.” Blitz heart drops when he heard the offer. First if he goes he will need to Face apple jack and Apple Bloom and that didn't turn out very good last time. Second he cant just say no Big mac was the only pony who was nice to him and never to hold a grudge on him from leaving. “I don’t know Big Mac, I really don’t want to face your sister since she hates enough already.” Blitz said getting up from his chair. “Listen, when you first came and met all of us specially me, I felt that you were a good stallion and AJ was your best friend also. You can do this let the past be past and focus on the present and future and change the errors you made. Sure she might be cruel to you but I feel she wants to forgive you so bad she wants to hug you to death.” Big Mac laugh making Blitz smile on his little joke. “Well okay I’ll be there. So when is it?” He asks. “Later afternoon, like at five” Mac said taking his leave. “Alright I’ll see you there then.” Blitz said while Big Mac left the house and he was all alone in his house again. He think for a while to kill time and then notice the park right in his window ‘Sure why not’ he leave his house and locks the door and started to headed towards the park. Blitz notice there was still whisper around him talking about him and he really wish that they can stop talking about him.The sound of laughter caught his attention and lifts his head to look for the source and notice he arrived at the park. He sees a lot of couples roaming around the area and he hope that the nightmare won't come to haunt him now. He trots through the park sideways while the ponies of the park past him from the opposite side. He closes his eyes and start humming a tone to calm his nerves when seeing a lot of ponies in relationship. He hums and hums in a sweet rhythm that even for him he felt the world stops for a mere moment to hear his tune. He slightly open his eyes without breaking the tune and notice he arrive in a nearby tree. The tree where it all began. He stands beside the tree while watching flashback from the past of Rainbow and Applejack standing beside the lake. The ghost from the past disappears from his sight and a sigh escape from his mouth wishing he wasn't here right now. “That was a lovely tune mister.” A young mare voice was heard making blitz to turn his gaze without moving his head slightly and notice a young mare standing beside him. Her coat was white with Beautiful Ruby red eyes and her mane was red and white. The beauty of this mare was astonishing even Celestia herself is amazed by this beauty. “Um thanks...” He couldn’t express words right now since he was amaze by the mare. She giggles and looks towards the lake and shows a smile and starts looking at the stallion. “My name is Ruby, I’m new in Ponyville” She said. “Um, Red Blitz” he introduce to himself. She stares back at the lake and a silence was surrounding the atmosphere. “It beautiful isn't it.” She says without taking her eye off from the lake. Blitz looks at the lake and responded “Yeah it is…” Another giggle was heard and Blitz was curious on why she’s giggling “What’s so funny?” “I can see you’re sad. But not sad on upset about something but sad on depress like you don't want to be in this world right now. Your mask is taken off Blitz I can see Sadness when i see it” she said. “It can't be help. The invisible mask is always off and I notice ponies looking at my sadness.” Blitz said stretching his wing grabbing a pebble. “But tell me why you are sad?” She asks. Blitz looks at Ruby and telling his past to a complete stranger and that is new to Ponyville may not be a great idea. “Stuff happened a couple years ago.” She didn’t respond, her gaze was back at the lake and then blitz notice something about this mare she was...smiling her eyes was shut and then her mouth opens “You know believe it or not I’m also sad.” Confused on the mare Blitz Questions “Why are you sad?” “I don’t know really. But I do know I’m in a search for somepony” She said. “Oh? And who might that be” Blitz ask. “Ah great stallion who was beside me when I was little” She said. “You’re Father?” Blitz said. “No, my stepfather, but I’m proud to say that he is my father...” She looks at Blitz “When I was little, my real father left me and my mom so we were struggling to live. My mother was stress she was about having a lot problem while having me.” Blitz still saw her smile and continue her story. “Me and my mom were about be homeless in our apartment and my mom always tell me that everything will be okay and you know what she was right” The wind blew across her mane while the story was told and Blitz kind of felt the fear that she might have been through. “One fateful day we were locked out from our apartment and all our stuff were outside I saw my mom cry that day until he came. He said ‘Excuse me ma'am is everything alright’ he said.” “She smiled and nodded to the stranger and told him, ‘Yes everything alright’ she lied and the stranger knew she was lying how did he knew I haven't the slightest clue to tell you the truth all I know is that he put two and two together and help us out, he even talk to the manager of the joint and I got to say those word that they exchange was brutal for a kid like me.” She pauses and kept looking at the lake with the smile still in her face. Blitz was curious and told the mare “What happen then?” He asks. “Let just say that he took us in even the warning about what will happen if he took us in. but surprisingly he didn't care at all and the hilarious part was I was still a little baby when all that happen, jeez mom what you have to tell me all that” she said. “Maybe to tell you there are good ponies out there that is willing to help.” Blitz said. “Yeah I guess you're right. But then all of suddenly I decided to come and find him I heard that he is around here in Ponyville and I’m going to find him and tell him that my mom wants to see him.” She said while starting walking away from blitz while his eyes follow her. “Um why you told me that, I mean you don't know me?” Blitz said. She stops in her tracks and looks at blitz with the smile on her face “I don’t know really but hey it was great that I let it all out you know, well see yah later” She gallops away until Blitz could no longer see her. He was in thought and felt bad for her and her mother what they been through and it was great to know that there are ponies that are willing to help. Blitz decided to leave and walks out of the park. As he was about to exit he saw a rainbow blur up in the sky and just by looking he knew it was Rainbow Dash doing her weather duty clearing up the sky. He rather not gets her attention and not receives trash talking towards her. He quickened his step and went inside a public bar with a little music in the air, maybe she didn't saw him and rather to stay that way and hide here for a minute until she leaves. He took an empty seat and maybe to relax a little, he notices a stallion going up a stage and was preparing to say something to the audience. “Fillies and Gentlecolts, I like you to give a round of a applause to the a young mare who came in to Ponyville to find her father and I have to say not meeting your dad is a sad thing so she came to me and ask if she can sing a little for us to hear, so please give a hooves stomp for Ruby” Round of hooves stomp was heard and the mare that blitz was talking earlier was up in the stage looking at all of us. “Thank you and I hope you all like what I’m about to sing.” As she was about to sing she spotted Blitz and smiled, she quickly gallops towards him and drag him towards the stage, he was still processing what was happening. “Wait...why I’m up here?” Blitz asks. “Just to have fun and also relax a little bit you have so much up in the stallion head of your and you forgot what it means to relax, so let have fun and beside your my first friend here on the village.” she looks at the crowd and introduces to blitz who was to participate with her. “Ready?” She said looking at Blitz. “Um... I guess” He said with a hint of nervous in his voice. he looks at the crowd and for a moment he remember Rainbow and his sadness "I Hope you like what i'm about to sing is about a very depressing past of mind and to say we all Fall from the sky." “Alright Just a change a plan you will start when your ready ill just be hearing you!” She saids at the owner and turn on the music to get started. And as the music start. Blitz took a deep breath and started to move his lips while the music went through his ear. As the music stops the cheers and the stomp were all up in the roof and for the first time ever in his life he felt something different, he felt happy he wonder why he kept glooming and moping all the time and remember why he came back here and it was to move along. With that he knew it’s time to move on. He notice a rainbow tail leaving the area and notices that Rainbow Dash was here but he ignores it and saw Ruby smiling at him. “I have to say that was the most fun I had in a while” Blitz said. (Was Rainbow watching me?) He thought. “I Got to say you have some talent” She giggles getting the attention to blitz and she looks at the crowd and thinks for a moment “Do you think I can find my dad Blitz?” She asks. Blitz shock and took a moment and knew one rule in his agenda and that was to stay positive “Sure, I’d be glad to help.” Blitz smiled and knew this was just getting started. > Chapter 11: Finding Out > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 11: Finding out 
Written by Raikry The walk towards Sweet Apple Acres felt long for Blitz as he felt both his heart and fear rise. He quit his old job not long ago and now he's going back to their home to have dinner with them. Not only does Applejack hates him but even Apple Bloom. If Big Mac hadn't had invited him, then he would have been in his house right now. As he he looks up, the sun soon starts to set as he was getting closer and closer towards his destination. He soon spots the Sweet Apple Acres not far from him and knew he was getting close. "Great." he said to himself. "Hope I don't get kicked out." He keeps on walking until he reaches the front door. From his view he see's the house and not only that he also see's Apple Bloom and two other fillies playing. He then turns his head away just so he won't get caught by her that he was staring or hope she doesnt see him. He reaches the house and knocks on the front door waiting until somepony answers. He then hears the sound of hooves getting closer towards the door and behind the screen door it reveals to be Big Mac. He shows a smile, relief that he could make it for dinner. "Glad you made it Blitz" he said clearing a path for him to enter. Blitz walks in and looks around the house. that he havent been for long "Thanks for having me over." Big Mac enters the kitchen and start preparing the table for tonight dinner. "Make yourself at home." he said. Blitz sits in the living room and keeps looking around the house "Man its been long since I've been here" he thought. he hears a door opening, his heart soon starts to beat in fear, hoping is not Applejack. Luckily, yet surprisingly, an young filly Pegasus pony enters the house and walks towards Big Mac. he see's the lips of the filly moving and big mac also having a conversation but gladly it wasnt Applejack. Big Mac finish talking and the orange filly notice Blitz in the living room. Blitz then notices her jaw fell in the floor confusing the stallion she quickly went towards him and was freaking out like she's meeting her idol. Blitz, now starting to worry that her was going on he started to break the silent "Hey there kid um?" He hisitated for a moment before asking, "Are you ok?" She nods Rapidly and started to speak "Hi my name is Scootaloo and I have to say Mister I never seen anypony so fast like how you flew when you threw Lyra Heartstrings. It was like whoosh and then wasssh" she mimics with sound effect making him smile. He never knew somepony was watching him while he threw her. "Names Red Blitz squirt." he said with a smile. Scootaloo looks at him "I know who you are." Suddenly Scootaloo looks down on the floor and was drawing a circle with her hooves on the floor like she has something on her mind she wants to say. He notice this and went and ask the little filly what was the matter "Is something wrong?" Scootaloo looks at him and was opening her mouth and was trying to form the word that she wants to say "Please mister don't take this the wrong way but....Rainbow Dash mention you and she specifically told me to stay away from you and I dont know why cause you are a nice pony" She said. Blitz sighs and smiles at the filly "I guess she even telling close friends of her's to stay away from me since I never did nothing wrong" "You must have done something really bad." Blitz scratches his head and lets out a laugh "Yeah is a long story for a another time I suppose" Scootaloo understood and then heard her friend calling out her name outside "Well I got to go. It was nice metting you." And just like that, she left the house and went towards her friends. "Well that was unexpected" He notice Big macingtosh coming in the Room. "Eeyup" He places the plates in the table and started setting up "How bout you givem e a helping hooves partner" "Yeah sure" Blitz started helping Big mac with the table. the silence if the room fell and blitz was looking around the room and he realize that Granny Smith wasnt in the room. he looks towards Big Mac and his face change to normal to sad. Like he knew what was coming. "Um where Granny Smith?" Blitz ask. Big Mac took a moment and looks to his left and saw a cabinet. this took the pegasus by suprise he look the direction towards the living room where the cabinet was located and his hooves automatically started to move. He was infront of the cabinet and his heart was beating. he looks at Big Mac and notice he was looking the other way. Blitz looks in the cabinet once more and as he was to open. He then hears the sound of an open door open along with the sound of hooves entering the house. Blitz didnt wanted to turn around, he had a feeling he knew who it was. "Dont you dare open that cabinet Blitz" Applejack said from behind him. 
He keeps looking at the cabinet and he had fear the most. he really wanted to open the cabinet door to see but his fear wasnt letting him. "Applejack he needs to know." Big Mac said. A slam was heard making Blitz flinch "He doesn't deserve to know!" He left us without saying anything!" Her screams rings through his ear but without facing her he knew she was about to explode and soon pounce on him again. "Applejack....., her final wish was him to know if he were to return are you not going to not complete our grandmother wish. She raised us better than that." Big Mac said with a intimatating voice. Once more silence was heard and later the silence was broke with apple jack voice saying "Fine" with that Blitz uses his spare wing to open a cabinet and see's a picture of Granny Smith and a note that says For Blitz. He looks back at Applejack and Big Mac who were looking the other way. He turns back at the picture and takes the note out of the envelope. He unfolds the paper and starts to read. 'Dear Blitz If your reading this, then it means that I passed and you return to ponyville. now i dont know what happen when you left but i felt that you were hurt pretty badly and wanted to clear your head alittle bit, but to let you know im not mad at you and that your still part of this family. I know if Applejack is still mad at you but I know she's more happy to see you than you think. She kept looking for you everywere and she even left Ponyville for awhile to look for you. She was devestated and Rainbow too I heard she was lock up in her house for awhile and she never wanted to come out until her friend help her. Now it's not your fault that you left without saying a word but no matter what never change who you are and for my final wish is for you to come back and to help out in the farm for time to time. I'll be happy now that I'm at peace. Please look after Applejack and Apple Bloom as they look up to you like another big brother and it about time you act like one. Yours truly Granny Smith." Tear fell on the paper and Blitz wipes them away with a hoof. Applejack heard his quiet sobs and at one point heard him repeating "I'm sorry, I'm so so sorry." Not wanting to listen any longer, she raced herself upstairs locking herself in her room while Blitz fell on the floor with tears rolling down his eyes. > Chapter 12: Family > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 12: Family Written by: Raikiry It's been a little over an hour how Blitz gots the news about Granny's passing. Now he was in the front porch looking at the sunset without saying a word. He was thinking about his life, he didnt feel like to shedding anymore tears since it has been set aside. He needed to calm down and see whats he needs to do next. The young stallion looks to his right and saw the first time he met Applejack and her folks, a very hot day that Blitz was sweating his fur off by the intense summer heat. It was his second day living on Ponyville and decided to take a look around to see. He then notice the farm and the orchard, he was told they had an apple farm in this part of town that was own by the Apple family. Interested in the farm he went for a closer look. Flying over the fence and taking the view of the place, he heard the sound of hooves behind him. Turning around he saw a mare earth pony with blonde mane and apples as her cutie mark. It was at this moment where he met Applejack. Over time, they started to getting to know each other. At first, she thought he was some kind of business pony coming to offer a price for her farm. Laughing at her remark, he corrected her saying that he was no business pony and that he was new to Ponyville. As soon as all was settled down, Applejack decided to let him meet the whole Apple family. From there they became real close to each other. Blitz return to his sense and notice he as still sitting in the front porch. He then notice a little toy guitar beside him. Remembering from before, it made him dazed out and not noticing the toy belonged to Apple Bloom played when she was little, picking up the toy a sound of a screen door opens. looking behind he see's the red stallion showing a weak smile towards his friend. Blitz smirk and looks back to the view of the horizon. His hooves took a step closer to him and sat besdie Blitz, looking the horizon with him. He knew that since he got here, he was the only Friend who welcome him back with open hooves. "I'm sorry you had to find out. It was never my intention of telling you." Big Mac said with a sad smile in his lips. All Blitz could do is smile back at him. "Its fine Big Mac. I was gonna find out sooner or later." Big Mac sighs knowing that it hurts him to see his close friend- no wait, his brother in this kind of pain. He wanted to say something to him, however Blitz opened his mouth again. "Why don't you hate me Big Mac?" This caught the red stallion off guard for a second. Never did he expected Blitz to say such words. It was pretty obvious why he doesn't hate him like Applebloom or Applejack. Unlike that last time in Hearts and Hooves Day. =========================Past======================================== Blitz was in his cloud apartment preparing himself some lunch before he can start his day. It had been six month since he moved in to Ponyville and it felt like a good life living in this area. A sound was heard through Blitz window. Thinking it was nothing at first, he ignore it but then the sound came back. He went towards his window and opened it looking from below he see's Applejack smiling and waving at him to come down. Raising his eyebrow he quickly glide down and floated infront of "What's up AJ?" Blitz "Howdy Blitz. Ah was actually wondering if ya got any plans for today?" she asked. Hearing that from Applejack made him smirk and decided to tease her "Why Applejack are you asking me on a date on Hearts and Hooves Day." The mare didnt flinch as she smirked back at him knowing he was teasing her "Why yes ah am Blitz. A date for helping me and mah brother get hook up with somepony he has eye on" This got Blitz interested knowing Big Mac never once showed his emotion better yet showing that he has a crush on somepony "Wait.....is this to help him or are you going have fun along the way, while you tried to hook him up?" AJ shows a devious smirk on her lips. "Why Blitz, ah never would ever...Itgoingtobehilariousareyoucomingornotpartner" with that said Blitz couldnt help himself to laugh to himself. "Lets go!" Blitz said Launching himself towards the direction of Sweet Apple Acres. "That a boy!" Apple jack follows behind and started the day of hook up with Big Mac. The day goes on as they successfully hook up Big Mac with a local mare Roseluck who runs a flower shop in Ponyville. They spend the whole day talking and eating in a restaurant while laughing and giggling to each of their stories. By the point of view of Blitz, who was in a bush with Applejack scooping the red stallion out. "So when are going to make kissing face infront of him?" Blitz teased. AJ puts a hoof in her chin and thought about it for a second and was about to say until a Rainbow Peagasus came above them looking at them. "What are you two doing?" Rainbow ask getting in front of the two ponies who are spooked by her unexpected appearance . "Gosh Rainbow Dash, don't you be going scaring us like that." Applejack said. Blitz was on the floor faking a heart attack while Applejack and Rainbow Dash raise their eyebrows looking at the stallion who was making a show of himself. He quickly notices this and stop and sweep off the dirt of his coat. "What's up Dash." Blitz said. "Sup Blitz. And again, what are you doing?" Rainbow asked. "Well I was just faking a heart attack." He said with a smile on his face making Rainbow giggle. "I wasn't talking about that. I mean what are you and Applejack hiding in a bush?" she asked. The two ponies exchange looks at each other and then looks back at Rainbow who was waiting on their answer. Then they immediately noticed Big Mac was took off leaving Rainbow all to herself. "Ah screw it, I don't have anything better to do" With that said she shoots herself up in the sky and followed the dynamic duo who was still looking for Big Mac. The sun was setting and they still didnt found the red stallion, also while looking for a pony Blitz notice Rainbow dash following them, but he didnt said nothing. He looks at AJ to see if she notice that they being followed by a Rainbow pony. "Hey Applejack.....," He was cut off when he heard something close by. It was sobbing, Somepony was crying and Applejack and the one upstairs also notice the sound. He decided to check it out. After a minute of following the sound they saw the big red stallion standing in the lake. Blitz notice this and look around the area to see where is the mare he was with. Before he could speak he notice Applejack face turning red and he immediately knew she was mad. "Oh that no good mare made mah brother cry!" She half scream so mac wouldnt notice there were still hiding from him or spying on him. "Calm down AJ." Blitz said trying to pull her back. "Calm down?! Sugarcube how can I calm down if I see my only big brother hurt and thought he could be in a relationship?" She got up and was started head towards her brother. Noticing this he went after her, hoping it won't get any worst. Upon getting close towards the red stallion before Blitz could say something Big Mac beat him to it. "So are you done spying on me?" He said still not making eye contact towars his sister and friend. A concerned Applejack looked at Blitz before turning her head back to her brother "Big Mac, what happen? And why are ya crying?" A sigh escapes his muzzle and then shift his gaze towards the two ponies who was standing behind him "I poured mah heart out AJ and you know what she said?" She stood silent for moment to hear the answer of her brother "She said that she was scared of me and that its better if we remain friends." The words sink in as it started to boil itself up. Applejack couldn't help scrunch herself and make a face as if she's going to murder somepony. Before she could run off Rainbow Dash stood behind her to hold her down. Minutes pass on and apperently she was calm enough to be dropped her haunches in the dirt not saying a word. Blitz looks at Big Mac and then sat next to him looking at the lake with him, he could feel the two mares standing behind him staring at him waiting on what he was about to do next. ========Present======= "You remember that day Blitz?" He said to him. Nodding to him he couldnt stop smiling remembering that day he could of swear he was embarrase for saying those words. "Yeah.....I do" "How about you tell me those exact words you told me because ah can't seem to remember." Blitz laugh softly and looks up at Big Mac. "I said don't be sad and that if I were a mare, I would be all around you." Blitz said. "Boy I'll never forget the reaction from Rainbow Dash. She laughed so hard ah thought she would've died from laughing. "Yeah I would like to forget that day but that doesn't explain on why you don't hate me?" Big Mac smiles. "Because ah never lost sight of you being mah friend and brother and I never lost sight of how you got hurt. Love can sometimes blind a pony Blitz. It can sometimes change them into a different pony." With that he walks off leaving Blitz all alone. Big Mac was walking he saw Aj hiding besdie the barrel "I Recomend you stay there." He said while walking past her. Confused on what he said, Applejack starts to notice Blitz huming a melody getting the attention of the mare who was hiding. As she continues to listen his voice, her heart beats while following the rhythem of his song and following the rhythem of the toy guitar. While he played the little song, Applejack felt something inside herself something she didnt felt before when she was with Rainbow. It was something new to her and in all honesty she didnt hated it. The lyrics continues to echo in her ears and his voice dance throught her mind, if it was like hearing a voice of an angel. "Whats wrong with me?" she whispers. The song stop and she notices Blitz place down the guitar next to him. She notice he had his eyes close and his lips were moving, Apple jack could hear alittle what he was saying. So she stood quiet and heard the words of the stallion. "Granny, I hope your resting in peace and I'm sorry that I left without saying a word. I promise to make things right." He gets up from the pourch. "I know I'm studying to become a doctor but.....," his words stops. "Who said I couldn't be both. So Granny, if your hearing this, I'm going to be the first Wonderbolt who gets a medical degree. But first I'll need to try out for the team before getting to place the ." As he turns around he's body stop. In his point of view he saw Apple jack standing infront him, looking down and not making eye contact. he was scared on what's is going to happen. Then she look up towards Blitz. Feeling the wind and only hearing his own heart beat. He knew something going to happen. "It hurt Blitz...." This shock him, for the first time when he returned. he never heard AJ Said he's name for awhile. "It hurt when you left. It hurt when you didn't said a word. It hurt when you weren't there when she died." Blitz was hearing the words of element of honesty and he felt hurt because it was all true. "When I saw you, ah couldn't help myself and I just lost it. Everything came back to me and it made me go berserk." Blitz notice tears escaping from her eyes as she was having a hard time choking to herself while trying to let go of her emotions. "I don't know if ah hate you or if ah want to forgive you. I'm just so lost right now. She couldn't help but shed tears and wonder if she would be able to move on after everything that has happened. A wing wraps around AJ, making her startled at first. looking up she saw Blitz hugging her, comforting her. She didnt move, she felt warm in his embrace and the words that whispers in her ears made her break. 
 "Let it go AJ.....I'm here and I promise I'm not going anywhere this time." Those words made her break, she wraps her hooves around his back and embrace the hug. There was nothing but screaming and crying. She was finally letting all go. The tears falling in Blitz's coat made him tighten the embrace even more. While inside the house, Big mac saw the whole scene in his room window. A smile appeared on his face lips. "Oh Applejack, you never hated him. You just missed him and you were just to stuborn to realize that." > Author Saying: Welp > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- I know you guys might been wondering if i'm ever going to continue the story and the answer is...i hope i can cause i want to hit you guys chapter after chapter but there is one tiny problem, i got no editor, no editor means horrible writing and spelling and i want you guys to enjoy the story not scratch your eyes out and slam your head in the table, so if all of you want the story to continue you can help me find a editor who can dedicate him or herself to help me finish this story and that goes towards the other ones too, just pm if your willing to help out and also ive been improving, if i ever get an editor and continue the story you reader will enjoy the story more cause ive decided to put scenes in the fiction, so anything that happens in the story you get to see first hand on the expression or the situation that is happening so dont miss that, well thats it for today if anything pm ill answer fast since i got notification in my email. (PS Here one my arts when i start doing the scenes) > Chapter 13: Organizations > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 13: Organization Edited by:BlackAce It’s been an hour or so after the event ththatatnfolded between Applejack and Blitz, and after an hour or so she told him to go back to work. Apparently, she was confused, and that it didn’t mean she forgive him just yet, Blitz accepted it and let her be herself and organize herself. AppleJack was on the other side of the orchard mumbling Celestia knows what. “This is just getting more annoying.” The Apple pony said while looking up towards the sky. She notices a familiar rainbow tail that was hanging out of a Cloud and knew it was Rainbow taking a nap. Applejack looks towards Blitz who was calmly bucking some trees on the other side, while keeping her in mind, he went back to work as he knew she wanted some space, and knew she hasn’t forgiven him yet. “So…how long you were up there Rainbow” Applejack said without taking her eyes off Blitz. There was silent for moment until the young Pegasus responded “Since the whole crying thing.” Rainbow said peeking out from her napping spot. Rainbow floats down and lands near her friend while looking towards Blitz “You didn’t forgive that jerk, have you?” Rainbow said while getting no response from the earth pony. “You know what he did, right?” Rainbow speaks once more but with a little venom in her tone. “I KNOW-” Applejack held her tone for a moment and breath in before speaking again “I know what he did, but Rainbow, isn’t this a little childish” Applejack said getting a confuse look on the Rainbow Pegasus. “Childish, I don’t think so.” Rainbow Said getting AppleJack to sigh. “Listen Sugar cube I never said I forgave him, it’s just….” She paused for moment and looked at Blitz, and saw that he took a little break and was looking up to the blue sky. There were no words in AppleJack’s head, there was only pure silence, Rainbow huffed and was about to take off towards the sky before looking back at her friend. “AJ, little advise don’t forgive him… because” She looks at him for a quick moment before looking back at AppleJack “Because I never will.” With that said she took off towards the sky leaving an orange mare with mix feelings on what to do. Blitz knew Rainbow was there and was having a chat with AJ, but he didn’t want them to know that he could hear their conversation, a sigh escape from his mouth as he looked up towards the blue sky. He knew if he wanted AJ’s forgiveness, he needed to take one step at a time. “Hey!” AJ shouts at Blitz making him turn and look at her “Your Done for the day, I’ll let Mac take care of the rest.” Applejack said getting to nod from blitz.. He didn’t say a word, as he walk pass AJ and was headed towards the exit “Hey!” AppleJack shouted again making blitz to look at Her. She was silent for a moment and her eyes were starting towards the ground “Good Job today, and if we need a helping hoof again you don’t mind if I come and get yah?” she asked getting him to smirk lightly and looking back at the exit. “You know where to find me.” Blitz said getting the Farm pony to nod. Applejack kept looking at blitz as he walked towards the fence and continued down the road towards Ponyville. Not too far away from the Farm, little Apple Bloom was staring at the Young Colt, the little filly was slightly confused on this. Did AJ forgive him, or maybe it was something else, she didn’t know what it was but Apple Bloom look towards the table that was placed in her tree house, and saw a Picture of her Family and plus Blitz. “Whydah came back…” Applebloom said in a low tone before exiting the tree house. She was greeted by her Friends Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle that we’re waiting on her. “What took you so long?” Scootaloo said. “Sorry, shall we get going then” Applebloom said getting to nod and smile. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`~~~~~~~````~```~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`~~~~~~~~~```` The Young stallion was now sitting at the park bench looking at the ponies that passed by, he looked towards his right and notice a familiar Minty Unicorn waving at him. She trotted towards him and, joined him on the bench. “Well excuse me sir have you seen a very cringey Pegasus around here, he has the same eye colors as you and he has some major hair color problems. This got Blitz to laugh and looked at Lyra “Please you wish you could have awesome mane like mine.” He received a shove by the mare and a delightful giggle out of her. “Hey how are you doing lately, I was trying to look for you to hang out but I couldn’t find you at your house” Lyra said. “I was at AppleJack’s , she needed some helping hoofs around the farm.” He said getting the unicorn’s smile to fade. “Was it a good idea to go over there, she and Rainbow Dash hate you.” Lyra said. “I know but I think AJ is taking it easy on me.” Blitz said while stretching his wings. “Whatever you say.” Lyra said getting to look around the park until an idea pop into her head. “Hey let me see what you got with those wings of yours.” Lyra said making Blitz give a confused face and eyeing his wings. “I don’t know Lyra, is been a while since I did some tricks with these bad boys.” Blitz said with an Unsure voice hidden in his throat. “Oh, come on it will be fun, besides what better way to stay in shape than exercises in the park.” She said while looking around the area. Blitz was still unsure about it but then he smiled at the young Mare and look towards the skies. He smiled and felt something inside his heart, and he couldn’t figure out what this feeling was. In a split second he was already up towards the skies leaving a strong force of wind towards the mare getting her mane messed up. She was amaze on how he could pull that much of wing power, Blitz soared towards the skies and did all kinds of tricks. He stopped for a moment and looked below him, and he stare at all the ponies on the ground. For him they looked like ants. His heart was thumping and his adrenaline was pumping, he had forgot how amazing it was to fly fast up into the skies and feel the wind between his mane. Before he could fly down, he heard a familiar giggle. He looks towards his left and saw Rainbow Dash with another stallion. There were having a conversation about something but couldn’t make out what it was, he didn’t want get caught and get called a creep by Rainbow for stalking, so he did what any other normal stallion did, ignore it and walk away or fly away. Before he could Rainbow dash spots him and had that same poisonous look when she saw him at the party. Blitz was about to ignore her and leave, but what he saw her doing annoyed him, she came close towards the stallion and started to flirt with him giving the confuse stallion a look. Blitz blood was pouring with Rage for the first time in a long time. He wanted her to forgive him and let bygones be bygones, but right now she is being childish, he couldn’t stand to watch anymore so his wings stopped flapping and he went into a free fall towards the ground. “Hm good riddance” Rainbow Said. “Um Rainbow Can you back off a little” Said the stallion. “Oh, sorry Star struck I didn’t mean to get close.” Rainbow Apologized. “It’s fine so can I get a day off on Saturday so I can go with my marefriend to Canterlot, she been wanting to introduce her parents to me. Rainbow laugh at his shyness “Sure I'll find a replacement, just have fun okay.” The stallion nods at her response and flew away. Rainbow smile faded and looked towards where blitz was floating, she Couldn’t keep on looking at him afraid that he’d talk Aj into almost forgiving him for coming back to ponyville, thinking about it is making her blood boil. She turns around to leave but as she was about to a Lightning bolt struck behind her making her jump, she looked where it came from up in the sky and saw no clouds above her. “What the Hay?” Rainbow Questioned. ----------------_---------------- Blitz Couldn’t stand it anymore, hating him was one thing but flat out using another stallion to get rid of him was flat wrong. He wanted to forget what he saw and let the wind takeover. He saw Lyra down in the ground and saw her amazed at his skill but a little concerned. ‘I can feel the wind blowing towards me but I feel like I want to go faster.” He flaps his wing once and felt a little boost. ‘Faster’ Another flap was heard. ‘More’ He flap strongly now lyra was getting scared on what he was up too. A Final Flap was made and he felt the Adrenaline again and for a moment felt an electric vibe coming down his Coat. A final push and an explosion of electricity was made making him go Faster, he never felt this fast before. He noticed he was getting close towards the ground. He spreads his wings and almost hit the ground. He flew pass Lyra with an electrical path, he then stomped the ground so he could stop before he crashes anywhere. Leaving a trail of dirt, he successfully stopped at the right moment. He was breathing heavily and blood was still pumping. He quickly notices a little filly in front of him with her mouth agape, and Lyra running towards him. She notices there was still Electricity coming from his Coat so she stood far from him. “Blitz are you okay.” Lyra asked. “That was- “ “Awesome!!!!” Blitz quickly look towards the orange filly that her Eyes was filled with sparkles “Wait, aren’t you?” “My name is Scootaloo Sir and I have a question for you, can you please teach me how to fly!!!” Scootaloo said. Confused, Blitz looks at Lyra who shrugs on what should he do, and Right now he doesn’t even know what he should honestly do. > Chapter 14: Something new > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 14: Something New Written by:Raikiry Blitz chuckled nervously as he looked at the enthusiastic Scootaloo. The unexpected request took him by surprise, but he couldn't ignore the excitement in the young filly's eyes. Lyra continued to watch, curious about how Blitz would respond. "Well, uh, Scootaloo, flying isn't something you can just teach overnight. It requires a lot of practice and patience," Blitz explained, scratching the back of his head. "But, uh, I guess I can show you a few things if you promise to be careful." Scootaloo's eyes widened with joy, and she nodded vigorously. "I promise, Blitz! I'll be the best student ever!" Blitz chuckled again, finding Scootaloo's enthusiasm infectious. Lyra smirked at him, teasing, "Looks like you've got yourself a little apprentice." Blitz rolled his eyes playfully. "Yeah, yeah, don't remind me." As they chatted, Blitz couldn't help but feel a sense of relief. The tension from Rainbow Dash's presence seemed to fade away, at least for the moment. Scootaloo's request provided a welcome distraction, and he decided that helping her learn to fly could be a positive way to spend his time. The trio spent the rest of the afternoon in the park, with Blitz demonstrating some basic flying techniques. Scootaloo listened attentively, absorbing every piece of advice. Lyra occasionally chimed in with comments and encouragement. Meanwhile, in the distance, Rainbow Dash continued her conversation with Star Struck. Unbeknownst to her, the electrical display from Blitz's speed had caught the attention of a certain group of fillies known for their love of the extraordinary. Twilight Sparkle and her friends had observed the spectacle from a distance. Twilight raised an eyebrow, intrigued by the unusual display of magical energy. "That's odd. I've never seen anything like that before," she mused. Pinkie Pie bounced with excitement. "Ooh, new magic tricks! Maybe we should go ask that colt how he did it!" Rarity chimed in, "Darlings, I must say, the aesthetics of that display were quite captivating. Perhaps there's more to this stallion than meets the eye." As the group debated whether to approach Blitz, he continued to share his flying expertise with Scootaloo, feeling a renewed sense of purpose in helping the young filly achieve her dreams. The day, which had started with tension and uncertainty, took an unexpected turn into a more positive direction. Little did they know that this encounter would set in motion a series of events that would change their lives in ways they couldn't predict. As Blitz continued to guide Scootaloo through the basics of flying, the atmosphere in the park shifted. Unbeknownst to him, Rainbow Dash had wrapped up her conversation with Star Struck and caught sight of Blitz providing flying lessons to the aspiring little pegasus. Rainbow Dash's eyes narrowed, her feathers ruffling with a mix of confusion and irritation. Without a second thought, she left Star Struck standing there, bewildered, as she shot through the sky with a burst of speed. The wind roared around her as she closed the distance between herself and Blitz. Blitz sensed Rainbow Dash's approach, and when he turned to see her charging towards him with a furious expression, a knot formed in his stomach. He had hoped to avoid any more confrontations, especially with Rainbow Dash, but it seemed fate had other plans. "Blitz! What do you think you're doing?" Rainbow Dash bellowed as she touched down, creating a small dust cloud. Scootaloo looked between Rainbow Dash and Blitz, a hint of fear in her eyes. Blitz took a deep breath, trying to remain calm, and decided to stay silent, enduring the storm of accusations. Rainbow Dash's eyes flickered with a mix of anger and disbelief. "Helping Scootaloo? You've got some nerve, pal." Blitz stood his ground, keeping quiet, his patience waning. The only sounds were Scootaloo's nervous shuffling and Lyra's concerned gaze as the tension in the air became palpable. Nearby ponies had started to gather, curious about the commotion. Rainbow Dash huffed, her wings flaring. "The harm? The harm is that you're a liar and a deserter! You think you can just waltz back into Ponyville, mess with ponies' heads, and now you're acting like some kind of hero? I don't buy it for a second." Blitz gritted his teeth, keeping his silence and accepting the weight of Rainbow Dash's accusations. Scootaloo shifted uncomfortably, unsure of what to do, while Lyra maintained her supportive stance. Before Blitz could respond, Rainbow Dash continued, her voice sharp and accusatory. "You're just trying to weasel your way into everypony's good graces. Well, it's not going to work. I won't let you mess with Scootaloo's head too." Blitz's eyes flashed with frustration, but he chose to remain quiet, taking every insult thrown at him. He took a step forward, but still, no words escaped his lips. Scootaloo looked at him with a mix of concern and admiration. The standoff between Blitz and Rainbow Dash intensified, each pony standing their ground. The gathered crowd looked on with a mix of curiosity and concern, uncertain of how this confrontation would unfold. As the tension between Blitz and Rainbow Dash continued, Lyra couldn't stand idly by. Seeing her friend take the brunt of Rainbow's anger, she stepped forward, her frustration evident in her expression. "Rainbow Dash, hold on a minute. I get that you're upset, but there's no need to lash out like this. Scootaloo asked Blitz for help, and he's not doing anything wrong," Lyra asserted, her tone firm but measured. Rainbow Dash scoffed, looking at Lyra with a dismissive grin. "Oh, please. You're just another one of his apologists. I bet you believe every word that comes out of his mouth." Lyra's frustration grew, but she kept her composure. "Rainbow, he's not here to cause trouble. Scootaloo asked for flying lessons, and Blitz is just trying to help. Maybe if you gave him a chance to explain—" Rainbow Dash cut her off with a mocking laugh. "Explain? I've heard enough from him. He's good with words, I'll give him that, but actions speak louder, and his actions speak betrayal." Lyra took a deep breath, attempting to remain calm. "Look, Rainbow, I know you and Blitz have a history, but maybe it's time to let go of the past and—" Rainbow Dash interrupted again, her tone sharp and biting. "Let go of the past? You don't know the half of it, Lyra. You don't know what he's done." Lyra's frustration finally boiled over, and her eyes flashed with irritation. "And maybe you don't know everything either! Just because he made mistakes doesn't mean he deserves this constant hostility. You're not the only one who's been hurt." Rainbow Dash laughed, a harsh sound that echoed through the park. "Hurt? You think I'm hurt? Please, Lyra, you're just a pawn in his little game. He's probably feeding you lies just like he did with the rest of us." Scootaloo, caught in the middle of the verbal crossfire, looked back and forth between Rainbow Dash and Lyra, confusion evident in her eyes. The atmosphere became charged with tension as Rainbow Dash squared off with Lyra, each unwilling to back down. The gathered crowd watched, unsure of what to make of the escalating confrontation. The situation seemed to be spiraling out of control, with no resolution in sight. As the exchange continued, Scootaloo couldn't help but feel torn between her admiration for Blitz and her loyalty to Rainbow Dash. Little did she know that this conflict would force her to confront deeper questions about trust, forgiveness, and the complexities of friendship in Ponyville. Feeling the weight of the escalating confrontation, Blitz decided he had heard enough. Without a word, he turned away from Rainbow Dash and Lyra, the murmurs of the onlookers fading as he walked away. He needed time alone to collect his thoughts, away from the accusations and hostility. Lyra, realizing the toll this was taking on Blitz, called out after him, "Blitz, wait! Come back, let's talk this through!" Before Blitz could respond, Rainbow Dash interjected with a derisive laugh, "Talk? That's all he's good at—talking his way out of everything, especially leaving!" Blitz clenched his jaw, but he continued walking, resisting the urge to engage in the verbal sparring. He needed space to think, to clear his mind. As Blitz distanced himself from the gathering, Lyra shot Rainbow Dash a frustrated look. "Rainbow, can't you see you're pushing him away? This isn't helping anyone." Rainbow Dash smirked, crossing her forelegs. "Helping? He's the one who left, Lyra. If he can't handle a little confrontation, then good riddance." At that moment, Scootaloo, who had been silently observing, stepped forward, her confusion turning into determination. "Why are you so rude to Blitz, Rainbow? He's trying to help me, and you're just making things worse." Rainbow Dash's expression softened as she looked at Scootaloo. "Kid, trust me, there's nothing good about that stallion. He's just trouble." Scootaloo furrowed her brow, her loyalty to Rainbow warring with her growing admiration for Blitz. "But you adopted me, Rainbow. Shouldn't we give ponies a chance to change?" Rainbow Dash sighed, her gaze shifting away for a moment before meeting Scootaloo's eyes again. "Scoots, some ponies never change. They're just good at pretending." Before the conversation could continue, a resounding strike echoed through the air as Lyra, unable to contain her frustration any longer, magically slammed her hoof into the ground, creating a shockwave that silenced the entire park. The force of the strike sent ripples through the air, and every pony present turned their attention to Lyra, her eyes blazing with a mix of anger and exasperation. "That's enough!" Lyra declared, addressing both Rainbow Dash and the onlookers. "This bickering won't solve anything. We need to find a way to move forward, not keep rehashing the past." The park fell into an uneasy silence as the ponies absorbed Lyra's words. It was clear that emotions were running high, and the unresolved tensions in Ponyville were far from settled. The fate of Blitz's attempt at redemption and the harmony within the group hung in the balance, leaving every pony present contemplating the complexities of forgiveness and the challenges of rebuilding trust. Seeking solace, Blitz found himself at Sugarcube Corner, the familiar and lively bakery offering a temporary escape from the tension outside. As he took a seat by the window, he silently watched the joyful ponies passing by, the stark contrast to the recent confrontations weighing heavily on his mind. With a sigh, Blitz slumped in his chair, contemplating the complexities of redemption and forgiveness. The day had taken an unexpected turn, and he yearned for it to be over. Lyra, noticing Blitz at the window, approached with a reassuring smile. "Hey, Blitz. Mind if I join you?" she asked, pulling out a chair. Blitz nodded, a faint smile playing on his lips. Lyra took a seat across from him, providing a welcome distraction from the troubles outside. As they engaged in quiet conversation, the door to Sugarcube Corner chimed once more. Lyra, aware of the lingering tensions, decided to address them with Blitz. "I know it's tough, Blitz. Rainbow Dash can be... difficult. But you're trying to make amends, and not everypony is as resistant as her. Give it time." Blitz appreciated Lyra's attempt to comfort him. "I just wanted to help Scootaloo. I never expected it to turn into all this." Lyra nodded understandingly. "Change is hard, Blitz. It's okay to feel frustrated, but don't let Rainbow Dash get to you. You're on a path of redemption, and that's what matters." As they continued their conversation, the atmosphere inside Sugarcube Corner shifted. The bakery provided a sanctuary for Blitz, and in Lyra, he found a friend willing to offer support amidst the challenges that lay ahead. The events of the day marked the beginning of a journey that would test friendships and challenge perceptions in the small town of Ponyville. Blitz, his gaze fixed on the passing ponies outside Sugarcube Corner, opened up to Lyra about the past. "It's my fault, Lyra. When I left Ponyville, I couldn't handle it anymore. I saw Rainbow Dash kissing Applejack, and, well, I was just a young colt in love. It broke my heart." Lyra listened empathetically, understanding the weight of unrequited feelings and the pain that comes with a broken heart. "Love can be complicated, Blitz. But you're here now, trying to make amends. We all have our pasts, and sometimes, it takes time to heal." Blitz nodded, grateful for Lyra's understanding. The memories of his departure were still fresh, and confronting them brought a mix of emotions. As they continued their conversation, the bond of friendship between Blitz and Lyra grew stronger, providing a source of support amidst the challenges unfolding in Ponyville. As Blitz poured out his feelings, Lyra, sensing the depth of his emotions, placed her hooves gently on top of his. Their eyes met, and Blitz felt a spark in his heart as he looked into Lyra's warm, comforting gaze. Lyra offered him a reassuring smile, her eyes reflecting understanding and compassion. "Blitz, you're not alone. We all carry our burdens, and forgiveness takes time. You're taking the right steps, and you've got friends who care about you." Blitz felt a sense of gratitude welling up inside him as Lyra's words resonated. The warmth of her support was like a balm for his wounded soul. In that moment, surrounded by the cozy atmosphere of Sugarcube Corner, Blitz found solace in the understanding friendship that was slowly blooming between him and Lyra. The journey of redemption might be challenging, but with friends like Lyra by his side, he felt a renewed sense of hope. As Lyra offered her comforting words and support, Blitz found himself unable to look away from her. His heartbeat echoed in the room, and a peculiar warmth spread through him. Confused by these unfamiliar feelings, Blitz couldn't deny that he didn't hate them; in fact, he liked them. Lyra's presence seemed to stir something within him, and as he looked into her eyes, a sense of connection blossomed. The idea of a new relationship, one that transcended the past, flickered in his thoughts. Perhaps amidst the challenges and complexities of forgiveness, a door was opening to something beautiful and unexpected—a chance at happiness and understanding with Lyra by his side. As Lyra left, Pinkie Pie, who had been quietly observing the entire exchange, couldn't contain her mischievous grin. She bounced over to Blitz with playful excitement, her eyes sparkling with amusement. "Ooh, Blitz, Blitz, Blitz! Looks like somepony's got a little crush on Lyra!" Pinkie teased, her tone sing-song and filled with glee. Blitz's eyes widened, and he quickly tried to downplay the situation. "What? No way! It's not like that," he protested, attempting to cover up the hint of a blush on his face. Pinkie wasn't convinced and continued to giggle. "Blitz, you can't fool the master of parties and romance! I know a crush when I see it!" Blitz sighed, realizing that Pinkie could see through his attempt at denial. "Okay, fine, maybe I like her a bit," he reluctantly admitted, still avoiding the term "love." Pinkie's eyes gleamed with joy. "Yay! Crushes are so cute! You should totally spend more time with her. I can help make it super-duper fun!" Blitz chuckled nervously, not quite ready to admit the depth of his feelings. "Maybe, Pinkie. We'll see how things go." Pinkie gave him a knowing smile. "Just remember, whether it's like-like or love, it's always worth celebrating! Have fun, Blitz!" With that, she bounced away, leaving Blitz with a mix of emotions and a playful nudge toward the possibility of something more with Lyra. Blitz couldn't help but smile as he glanced out the window, catching a glimpse of the beautiful mare, Lyra, who had come to comfort him. There was something about her presence that brought a sense of warmth to his heart. Meanwhile, Pinkie Pie, with her usual unpredictable antics, was looking at a seemingly random location. With an impish grin, she managed to break the fourth wall, addressing an unseen audience. "What, you thought the writer was done with this story? I don’t think so, Fimfiction community!" Blitz, a little confused, turned to Pinkie. "Who are you talking to?" Pinkie winked, her eyes sparkling with mischief. "Oh, just some friends on the other side of the screen. Don't worry about it! Anyway, back to your story! Love is in the air, and we're not done yet!" Blitz blinked, still trying to make sense of Pinkie's peculiar behavior. As the unpredictable tale continued, Blitz couldn't help but wonder what other surprises Ponyville had in store for him.
