Being an Angel

A few weeks after the incident with the vase, Saving Angel was told that he did not have to worry about it if he broke something; just that somepony needed to know that he broke it. AJ had started to understand more of what he was able to do; what his limits were and how to care for him better. A few days after the “incident” Saving started to have nightmares, when he came to Applejack first she was slightly shocked that he would go to anypony. The next morning AJ thought it would be a good idea to introduce Saving to Rainbow Dash and maybe Fluttershy if AJ could find her; but that would be for the next day, not now, now it is time for sleep.

The next morning-

Applejack was walking into Ponyville with Saving behind her; he was walking closely to her and had a somewhat scared expression on his face. When they got to town Applejack looked at Saving and said “Okay, stay close to meh ‘cause there are a lot of ponies here and I do not wanna lose yah.” Saving looked up at AJ and smiled. When she saw that smile; her eyes started to water with joy and happiness. Saving saw that her eyes were watering and he lost his smile, he thought he did something wrong and his face screamed of fear and sadness. Applejack noticed that he was starting to get scared “It’s okay, Ah’m not sad, Ah’m happy.” She said as a smile spread her face. They were almost in the middle of town when this started to happen; Applejack stood there trying to help Saving from making a scene in the smack dab middle of Ponyville. AJ picked up Saving and gently placed him onto her back while trotting to Fluttershy’s newly built cottage; she did not want to have another three days of no sleep and a trembling foal that did not even want to look at food. When AJ reached Fluttershy’s cottage, Saving was shaking violently and was mumbling words that where less audible than Fluttershy. AJ knocked on the door about ten times in just a few seconds; afraid that she would not be home.

After a few seconds of silence Fluttershy finally opened the door; AJ feeling relieved that Fluttershy was home walked in without a word from both of them. Fluttershy, looking confused said “Applejack? What’s going on and who is that foal on your back?” AJ picked up Saving and gently placed him on Fluttershy’s couch; “This is Saving Angel, I found him hiding in a fallen tree at the orchard over almost two months ago; I tried keeping him at home so he would not freak out like this, but he saw me cry of joy and mistook what my tears meant. He started to go into this tangent and I took him here thinking you could help him.” Fluttershy looked at Saving with less confusion and more sorrow than ever before. Fluttershy sat down next to Saving and suddenly felt a spark of happiness; she said in words that seemed only audible to those of whom she chose “It’ll be okay, you just misunderstood Applejack’s emotions. You are not in the wrong, you have nothing to fear.” A small smile, a smile that said ‘you will never be hurt by anything’ spread across her face. Saving looked up at her and slightly smiled, he felt so safe looking at her; it felt like he could be happy forever just by looking at this mare. When he felt better he looked at Applejack and said something she never thought she hear out of anyponies mouth; “I love you mama, I’m sorry.” AJ looked at him and said with so much joy that her voice cracked “I love you too.” She held her arms open and he ran to hug her, leaping off of the couch straight into her arms.
