Where did I come from?
Chapter 4: Tragedy strikes
Previous ChapterNext Chapter"Your.....your father?" I said concerned
"Yes" she said while crying
"I...i'm so sorry I didn't......I wasn't.....I ju-" she stuck her hoof up by my mouth
"Don't worry about it its just me and my father had a falling out then he shows up at the hospital like hes been through some sort of war he was so badly damaged I highly doubt he even knew I worked there"
"Through some....war?"
"Yeah why is there a problem with what I said" she said a little bit snippy
"No its just....I had a dream where I was in a place and this place happened to be where I lived but destroyed and it looked like it went through some sort of war, coincidence?"
"Huh strange" she finally stepped back and wiped the tears from her eyes "i'm sorry I did that its just he was the only family I had in Ponyville and its just so....so tragic to loose something like that I just couldn't take it after he left me I just wanted to make things right and..and I just wan-" this time I cut her off
"Don't think about it much more then you have to, you'll just grieve over it more. Now how bout you get some sleep k?"
"Yeah....yeah your right ill deal with it tomorrow, you know you can be a really nice guy sometimes"
"Eh I try to be you know i'm just that kinda pony"
She chuckled "hey I said that"
"I know just had to make you smile, now you get some sleep"
"Thanks for being so nice to me, I can't believe I let a stranger into my house and he becomes such a good friend" she hugs me again as I hugged her back. I really felt I accomplished something I've never done before Its weird I have feelings that I've never done anything good.
========================================================================
Morning came and no dreams for me it seems I get a day off from all this nonsense that's been happening, suddenly I smell something cooking. "Redheart you still home?" I asked
"Yeah I called in sick" she said from the kitchen "I just can't work today the doctor understands so i'm making you and me some breakfast"
"Okay, what ya making?"
"Just some hay bacon and some toast"
"Well it smells nice"
"Yeah I know"
After she got the food to the table we started eating, it tasted amazing unspeakable goodness "Dang girl this stuff is amazing why weren't you a professional cook instead" I said with enthusiasm.
"Heh heh I get told i'm a good cook a lot" she said "I do what everypony else does"
"Well somehow you manage to do it better"
she started blushing "O stop it its just ordinary food"
"Hey i'm just trying to make you happy"
"You did good, hey may I ask you something?"
"Of course what is it?"
"Do you mind....walking....with me today?"
I froze for a second then responded "what do you mean?"
"Like just around town I gotta return some books to the library and I want someone to talk to"
"Yeah of course, I don't mind were friends after all"
After our meal I cleaned the dishes for her for being such an awesome cook really though shes good.
===========================================================================
A few moments later we were at the library she was returning some books and I was browsing while she did so. I saw some good books but nothing really caught my eye until I saw one labeled The Day The Town Fell It seemed interesting so I picked it up.
"Found a book I see" said a purple unicorn
"Yeah I did do you mind if I borrow it?" I said
"Go ahead I've read it a million times, names Twilight Sparkle by the way" she raised a hoof
"Crezo" I said as I shook her hoof
"You seem new has Pinkie seen you yet?"
"Uh if you mean a pink pony with three balloons on her flank the yes I have"
"O boy are you in for a surprise"
I raised an eyebrow "what do you mean?"
"You'll see" she said walking away.
I was confused but none the less I have a book to read now. Redheart and I left the library and walked around town silent while background ponies talked and talked. I looked over to Redheart who hasn't said much to me or anypony for that matter. I finally work the courage and asked "hey you alright you haven't said very much?"
"Yeah" she said in a quiet tone.
"Okay just remember if you need to get anything off your chest i'm right here"
"Yeah I know"
"Okay stop"
"What is it"
"We can't just have some partypooper walking around come on cheer up, have some fun, I understand your father died but if you keep grieving over it your never gonna be happy again"
"Your right.....your right, man how do you know just what to say?"
"Like I said i'm that kinda pony"
We crossed into an ally way for a quicker way back home. As we made it home everything was quiet to quiet but we really didn't even notice. We walked in the home silent for a second "Glad to be home" Redheart said.
"Hey your smiling" I said mockingly
"Yeah cause I have a good friend"
"Heh heh I try to be a good fri-"
"CREZO BEH-"
Before she could finish her sentence I was out cold that last thing I heard was the both of us hitting the ground.
