Equestrian apocalypse of the dead

Chapter 6 sweet memories

This was Sugar Cub Corner, Pinky Pie worked here once. when ever I was sad or only, I would come here and order a hot chocolate. something about this place and Pinky Pie just made me smile and feel better about myself like there was something to be joyful about. I took a look around the room it still had the same tables and glass counter that it did so long ago. The only thing that had changed was the wall behind the counter, behind the counter was a large picture of Pinky Pie with a big smile on her face and a cupcake held in her hooves. the poster read, Sugar Cube Pastry's, yummy. This sweet little bakery was now a broken and bloody place, a skeleton of its former self. This place is the perfect metaphor for the state of Ponyvile, once sweet and kind now dark and gory. Why did such a thing have to happen, why here and why me.

"We leave together for Sweat Apples Acres we leave in five minutes" I said trying not to burst into tears.

My only concern was Lighting Dancer, not my own safety. Only getting back to lighting madder, she was my soul mate. The only one who I could ever love. lighting dancer was my last chance at have a family, and a normal life. I don't think I could ever get over this horrible event with out her, she held my mind together, with out her I think my mind would fall apart into peaces of sadness and chaos. That was my motivation to over come this, horrible night mare,knowing that when I wake up she be there with me.

I remember that she was first time we meet it was in a dance club every young pony was there I was one of the few old enough to drink. I had gone there to listen to the latest Vinal Scratch song and have some drinks. I was having my self a glass of apple jack Daniels, weird it really did taste like apples. The hole place was dark but the dance floor was light up with bright blue and purple neon colors. On the dance floor was a crowd of ponies dancing with passion, to an inescapable beat pulsing through the air, every one was hidden in darkness only out lined by bright lasers, glow sticks and lights, which turned the hole floor in to one large strobe effect. out of all the ponies shrouded in darkness only one stood out. There she was a blue pegasus pony with bright green eyes, and several green glow stick necklaces. There was something about her flowing movements, her legs, and deep colorful eye, made her such a eye magnet. CRAP, I think she caught me staring, just com down don't make eye contact just look away, am sheer shell go back to dancing like they all do, this wasn't the first time this had happened.

She quickly snuck up to me almost out my field of vision.

"hey" she said startling me ,causing me to jump a little.

"ice water please" thank celesta she was just ordering a drink.

who knows how long she been dancing for, There was a single beat of sweat dripping down a lock of her blue main, all that dancing had made her coat sweaty. I could feel the heat from here body. I looked down at her sweaty cutie mark, which was a figure of a dancing pony. I caught myself staring again, I didn't want to be a creeper so I thought it mite be time to leave. I through up a few bits on the on the table as a tip. "hey rick" I turned to the mare next to me, she knew me but how. I stared at her face for a second, "lighting is that you" I knew lighting dancer from school, I didn't recognize her. she was different, back in school she was always shy, her hair covered most of her face.

"why of coarse its me" she replied.

"oh I didn't expect to see you here" I said

"I didn't expect to see you here ether" she responded.

despite knowing her, her voice was foreign to me. It was soothing and soft yet strong like a speaker who spoke with passion. we talked for a full minute, I desperately tried to cheep the conversation going as long as I could. As a new song started to play lighting started to bob her head up and down clearly enjoy the wild rithmic music, her eye lids close. it was quite clear that soon her body would take over and she would have to start dancing again, and she would lose interest in me like they all do. She would move off to the dance floor and continue on with her live and i would continue on with mine. she got up to leave, but instead of leaving, she ask me something, that I had never been asked before yet it was like one of those questions asked many times but never said yes out of fear of what people mite think.

"would you like do dance with me" lighting said with a voice completely unlike the one I was so used to when she was a filly.

when she was a filly her voice tried its hardest to stay quite, as if trying to hide her own voice but now her voice was full of joy convenience and, fun. lighting looked at me smiling and tough at my shoulder, It became quite clear that question was rhetorical, she wanted some one to dance with and I had no way out. I had never danced with a girl before. Could I just say no and let her down like that. She pulled me from my seat and towards the dance floor.

"wait" I said trying to find a reason to back out.

"It will be fine" she reassured me, as if knowing exactly what I was thinking.

I was going to say I had never danced before but that wasn't true. I had danced lots, when alone. before I could continue to appose, she dragged me on to the dance floor. Oh crap, standing still would be worse then dancing horrible so out of desperation I started to shuffle my hooves. she was a much better dance than me, her movements matched the pounding myth of the music. It was was like the beat of her heart machine the beat of the music

causing her body to go into over drive.
for one night I danced, cut louse and have some fun. we left later on that night. Tired and sweaty. were walked out side the club out in to the cool mid night streets of Ponyvile.

"that was pretty fun" lightning said panting,

I responded with a small smile. Then I asked "that was fun maybe we could do that again some time".

wait what, did i just ask her out, why did i just do that I mean what if she said!

"sure its a date then" she said interrupting my thoughts. "how about we get something it eat first"

This was was the first spot we ate together on this table in Sugar Cub Corner, that was know covered in broken glass, blood and memories of a life that will never be the same.
