BONUS

Previous Chapter

It was an average spring day in Ponyville ponies were going about their daily business and were trying to sell their wares, after the arrival of Ficon Blade and his invention the PC (pony computer) record keeping was made alot easier for ponies. Ficon himself was asleep in his house after a long night of working trying to invent some sort of device. He was woken suddenly by sharp knocking at his door. Dragging himself out of bed and downstairs he opened the door only to find himself face to hoof with AJ's hoof as if she was about to knock on the door again.

"Mornin' Ficon" she said in a rather chipper tone of voice, "Ah was wondering if ya could help me set up one of those computer thingamajigs at the farm?"

"Sure, no problems as long as I get a coffee for my trouble and to help me wake up," he replied yawning.

"Course ya can sugarcube." AJ said as she made her way in the room.

"So I'm guessing you're paying for it up front?" Ficon asked as he went and got a few boxes containing the PC

"Course I am sugarcube." AJ said hoofing over a large sack of bits.

"Now that's in order, why don't we go get this coffee on the way to set this up at the farm?" Ficon motioned towards the door with his free hoof.

"Sounds good." AJ replied picking up the other box, as we made out way out of the shop towards coffee and Sweet Apple Acres.

After getting Coffee from Sugarcube Corner which was surprisingly void of Pinkie Pie which was unusual the two ponies made their way towards Sweet Apple Acres which was also void of Big Mac working in the fields.

"Odd." Ficon murmured.

"What was that sugarcube?" AJ asked.

"Nothing." Ficon replied noting to keep thoughts in head away from mouth.

"Alright, we're here, why don't we set this down inside and I pour ya a mug of cider from the barn?" Applejack asked as Ficon nodded in return.

Heading towards the barn Ficon got the feeling that something was going on behind his back, pushing the barn door open his feelings were confirmed as everypony jumped out yelling "Surprise." Heart skipping a beat Ficon stood there awestruck as he watched every pony climb out their hiding holes. Unexpected to him, Exie walked up and hugged him.

"Thankyou Ficon, I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you and this party is to say thankyou for all you did for me." Exie said as she continued to hug Ficon.

Getting into the party everypony was having a good time, then TS called for silence and started making a toast.

"Fillies and gentlecolts, we are gathered here today, to say thankyou to one of the newest members of our community, Ficon Blade, without his efforts, a young mare in our community would still be tied up and held hostage against her will. Ficon despite getting injured still continued to look for and to save this mare. Alot of you know her and may not think the best of her, but she asked me to organize this to say thankyou to Ficon and as the Newest princess of Equestria, it is my great honour to provide Ficon with a Medal of Honour, which is normally reserved for the Royal Guard but Princess Celestia, Luna and Cadence all agree that Ficon is worthy of this award. I would like Ficon now to come forwards to receive this medal now." Princess Twilight finished her speech as a silent Ficon made his way to the front to receive his award.

"Thankyou Princess and thankyou all for been here, I never in my life dreamt that I would be getting a Medal of Honour nor did I dream of any of this ever happening and I would like to thank you all for been here today with me as I receive this award. I only wish more ponies would do what I did to save a mare like I did. Thankyou." Ficon finished his speech and made his way to the drinks where Exie went and up pecked him on the cheek."

"Thankyou again, if ever you want something from the shop, just let me know and I will give it to you for free." Exie said as she poured a drink a walked away.

Looking back on all his life events, Ficon smiled and had a drink, he was a hero to that mare and the townsfolk agreed, sitting his cup down he proceeded to walk outside and look over his new home town, smiling.
