The Guardian Chronicles

The green pony clenched me tight and ran out the locker room quick as a flash. She sprinted down the hallway and bangs a right instead of the left rainbow and I took. She ran down the hall and I saw several offices with different names that I couldn't make out because we were moving so fast. But there was one door at the end of the hallway. The one we were approaching. It read: captain spitfire. The pony slowed down when she reached the door and knocked. A voice from inside said "come in" and the pony holding me hid me behind her back as she turned the knob and walked into the office. Inside the office was several wonderbolt posters and medals and at the center of it all sitting at a desk was a fiery-haired mare with yellow body fur. She looked up and sighed, "what now lighting dust?"  The one I now knew as lightning dust said, "I finally have proof that rainbow dash is cheating".

"That's what you said the last 10 times" she replied annoyed.

"But this time it's true!" Lightning dust cried.

"Alright, let's see it" spitfire said.

So lightning dust tossed me on the desk and I landed with a hard "thump!"  Spitfire looked down at me and then back up to lightning dust.

"Seriously? A toy?" She said.

I jumped to my feet and shouted, "Why does everyone think I'm a toy!"

Spitfire gasped and nearly fell out of her chair.

"What in the world?!" She asked.

I looked to lightning dust and said, "you could have been nicer putting me down".

Spitfire looked at lightning dust and said, "go get rainbow dash. I'll take care of our little guest." She saluted and ran out the door.

Then spitfire grabbed me by the back of the sweatshirt and lifted me into the air.

"You" she said. "What are you doing here and what do you have to do with rainbow dash"

"I'm her protector" I replied. "My job is to keep her safe no matter the cost".

"YOU protect HER?" She said.

"I would give my life for her if I needed to".

She seemed to relax and she put me down on the desk where she leaned in close and asked, "why don't you tell me abut yourself, so we can clear this up". I nodded and began to explain.

Meanwhile outside, lightning dust was out looking for rainbow dash she finally spotted her running a course the was on the east side of the cloud. She walked over to a blue stallion who's name I would learn later was soarin' and told him that spitfire wanted to see her.

Soarin' called rainbow down and she abandoned the course to obey. She landed softly on the cloud below her and soarin explained the situation. Rainbow nodded followed by a salute. Then she noticed lightning dust smiling at her. Confused she began to head to the office with lightning dust next to her.

"What are you so happy about?" She asked.

"Oh nothing, I just found out your 'little' secret" lightning dust replied.

"My little-, oh no"

Rainbow then sprinted towards the office building with lightning dust close behind.

"I swear if you hurt him you'll be sorry" Rainbow said. A she rounded the corner towards the office.

"Oh, captain spitfire is taking GOOD care of your little puppy" lightning dust said.

Rainbow opened the door forgetting to knock and saw me sitting on spitfire's shoulder having a conversation with her about basic stuff like, which wonderbolts have set records and such. Who knew rainbow had beaten so many of them!

We looked up and saw the two pegasi walk into the office. Rainbow was sweating and stuttered when she spoke, "N-now captain. I-I can explain".

"No need" spitfire said. "Travis here explained everything".

She then looked over to lightning dust and with an angry and annoyed look said, "you and I are going to have a talk. Breaking into somepony's locker and attempting sabatoge?! That's even low for you".

Lightning dust hung her head in shame and left the office grumbling some language not for little ears. Spitfire turned her attention back to rainbow. "That's one heck of a kid you got here rainbow dash" she said as she lifted her hand to her shoulder allowing me to step on. She then extended her arm and me out towards rainbow who also held her arm out and took possession of me. It felt good to be in the hands of the pony I trusted the most. "Yep" rainbow said. "He's something all right". She began to stroke my head which made my leg move in circles. To this day I have no idea why dogs do this but it just feels right. "I think you've been through enough for today, why don't you head home?" Spitfire said. Rainbow saluted just as lightning dust had before and left the office. As we walked out rainbow placed me on her head. Her hair was softer than my pillow and felt nice and smooth.

"You know you saved my flank today" she said.

"Hm?" I replied.

"If it wasn't for you I would probably not even be in this academy anymore"

" well my job is to protect your flank in case you didn't remember". I said with a huge grin across my face. She smiled as she entered the locker room to change again.

"Also, you must really care about me" I said in a sly tone.

Rainbow blushed and asked, "W-what do you mean?"

"I saw the way you charged into the office and the terrified look on your face when you thought something had happened to me" I replied.

"I... Uh..well..." She began to say before she realized it was true.

"Okay, maybe I was a little worried" she finally admitted.

"HAHA I knew it!" I cried.
