BEEP

Tanken was annoyed. He opened his eyes seeing that he is in an hospital. With a monitor by his side. Tanken really hated hospitals. He remembered that time he got shot in the shoulder and had to stay at the medical tent for days. Blood was seen on the floor and the constant moaning of the injured. At least there seems to be no blood in sight and nopony is around. And this not definitely a tent.

"It seems that you only suffered a mild concussion," Tanken heard. He look around and find a stallion writing down something on his clipboard. He has a white coat over himself so Tanken could only tell that the doctor has a brown coat and darker brown mane. His cutie mark is concealed by the coat.

"So, what up doc," Tanken said. Sitting up straight up.

"Like I said before. You only have a mild concussion," the doctor replied. "So your free to go at any time."

"Thanks doc." Tanken left his bed, heading for the door.

He went through the hallway. It was empty like a ghost town, but Tanken doesn't mind. He saw Blaze talking to another pony. Much his age.

"Hey little guy," Tanken said. "And who is your friend?"

Blaze looked at Tanken. Seeing no injury. "Um....this is Rumble. Rumble this is my big brother, Tanken." He motioned a hoof to each of both of them.

"How long were you waiting here?"

"Six hours."

Tanken was glad that it wasn't days. That would've been bad.

"Let's go home. I had enough of this," Tanken said trotting away towards the exit.

"See you later," Blaze said to Rumble.

"Later," he replied.


Both Blaze and Tanken had reached the house. Tanken opened the door and yet.

"SURPRISE!!!"

Tanken was not starteled again. He was expecting this to happen. He saw that pink mare from earlier, Pinkie is her name was it. Her mane was straight down this time. "Your not surprised," was all he heard her say. Tanken now felt a little guilt. He doesn't know what to say but Blaze came to the rescue.

"He is surprised. He is so surprised that he can't show it," Blaze said. Pinkie's mane went poofy again. She also have a very......very wide grin.

Tanken was now full of relief. He notices somepony calling his name.

"Tanken!"

He heard the pony again. He look around to find the source of the voice but was tackled to the ground. He looked up, a little fazed but he could see. What he saw really surprised him.

"Octavia?"

"Tanken, why are you here? Did something happened?" Octavia asked. She was wondering why Tanken is here.

"Can you let go of me now? Your attracting attention," Tanken said. Trying to get out of her embrace.

Octavia then let go, dusting of her shoulder. "Sorry, that was very unlady-like of me. It just that I haven't seen you in ages"

"Always the uptown girl," Tanken teased.

She then blushed, "Why are you always the flatterer."

Tanken and Octavia didn't realized that everypony was staring in silence. Even Pinkie.

"This is getting awkward," Tanken softly said. He decide to switch the mood.

"Um...............PARTAY!!!"

That had made everypony resume partying. Hopefully they have forgotten. But a mare came up to them. She has white fur with a rough hair style that have multiple hues of blue.

"Hey Tavi, I didn't know you have a coltfriend," she said. Tanken and Octavia were drinking punch and choked on the drink when they heard the mare's comment.

"What no, he/she's not my coltfriend/marefriend," they said at the same time.

"I was just kidding. By the way, the names DJ-PON3 but you could call me Vinyl," she said again. Tanken then shook Vinyl's hoof.

"Nice to meet you. My names Tanken."

"Hey what about me!" they all heard. Turning to the source of the sound, it was Blaze.

"I almost forgot. Octavia, this is my little brother, Blaze," Tanken introduced the two.

"Are you sure your not Tanken's marefriend?" Blaze questioned.

"BLAZE!!!"


The party was over and everypony went home. With the exception of Tanken, Blaze, Octavia and Vinyl.

"So why are you here in Equestria Tanken?" Octavia asked.

"Something happened back home," Tanken said.

"What happened back there."

Tanken was hesitant but spoke, "Germans attacked the city, nothing left but rubble."

Octavia went up to Tanken, "Did anything happened to my uncle?!"

"Don't worry, he's safe with the underground resistance."

"Resistance?" Vinyl asked.

"Yeah, it's all out war. I came here to keep safe of what's left of my family. Which was only Blaze," Tanken replied. "He has some illness and I need to find a therapist."

"Don't mention it," Blaze said.

"Well I'll see you tomorrow everypony. Bye."

Octavia and Vinyl left. Now it's just the two brothers. "Blaze, go to sleep. I'll find something to read. Blaze went to bed as instructed. Tanken took out a book. Reading it peacefully. 'It has been a long day,' he thought to himself.


Blaze was in the bed. Writng in his journel again.
