Chapter 2 : A connection
Previous ChapterNext Chapter-[A month after Flaming Feather came to town
Ten months until apocalyptic events ]-
It had been a month after Flaming Feather had came to Ponyville. He currently lives with Rainbow Dash, or Applejack if he helped her out on the farm that day. He was currently sitting under a tree in the Ponyville park reading Daring Do Reality Ring. He chuckled to himself as he turned the page, but, as he was about to start reading, the sound of a scooter zoomed by, but stopped and backed up. On it was a Pegasus foal about at age Twelve. She was orange with a purple mane and tail the same as her eyes. She had no Cutie Mark but Flaming Feather guessed it whould be something to do with her scooter when she did get hers.
"Hey I haven't seen you around. You new?" She smiled, hopping off her Scooter.
"No, you didn't come to the Party Pinkie threw me?" His eyebrow raised. How could anypony miss one of Pinkie's Parties?
"N-no. Not going was my punishment at the Orphanage for not being there at Curfew." Her head hung, but Flaming Feather felt a surge of remorse for this filly. He set his book down and looked at her.
"That sucks. But hey, you seem like a cool filly. Whats your name?" The filly looked at him and smiled a smile only somepony as innocent as a foal could do, her eyes also held the same look.
"Scootaloo. Coolest filly around. Rainbow Dash's number one fan!" She exclaimed.
Flaming Feather laughed.
"Fan of my sister eh? Hows your flying ability? gotta be fast to keep up with her." At this Scootaloo's ear's droped and she looked down.
"No, I can't fly...WAIT?! SHE'S YOUR SISTER?" She was suddenly vary ecstatic, getting right in his face. Flaming Feather tried to lerch backwards, but his head hit the tree.
"Ow. Yeah, I am. I'm Flaming Feather by the way" He rubbed the back of his head.
"This is awesome! What was it like growing up with her?" She sat beside him looking at him in the eyes. Flaming Feather felt so much remorse for this filly. An Orphan, Wishing her hero would pay attention to her. He could feel a loning for attention coming from her, so he ruffled her mane, smiling.
"Well we were only close friends untill my mother died and my dad dissapeared" Flaming Feather's had now a sad look on his face. Scootaloo looked at him realzing he was once an Orphan too, she moved in closer to hear better and hug him.
"Hey I'm okay but It was a nice childhood" He forced the word Nice but Scootaloo didn't seem to notice. She stoped Hugging him, but Flaming Feather wraped a hoof around her.
"Wanna read with me? You seem in need of something to do." He smiled as Scootaloo nodded and leaned into his body as he picked up the book. He began to read aloud to her, but after a few minutes the sound of an explosion, in reverse, took place. Scootaloo looked up at Flaming Feather, as he set the book down and stood up fast. Scootaloo jumped up, hopped onto her scooter, and followed Flaming Feather as he flew to the sound.
When they got there, they saw a strange sight. Vinyl Scratch, a white Unicorn, with a electric blue, and another shade of blue mane, and tail in a spiky style. She also had a pair of purple shades on, but the weird thing was the white fire-like thing coming out of her hooves. Flaming Feather stood beside her, and his hooves light up in a pine green fire like his coat, startling him.
"Hey." They said, greeting to each other. They were in a small clearing in the Whitetail Woods. There was a small black orb hovering infront of them. When she looked into the orb, she felt a nothingness that chilled her to the bone. Scootaloo hid behind a tree, confused, but even more so when Spitfire, a golden Pegasus mare with an orange and yellow mane still in a windsweeped fasion with brown eyes, she landed beside Flaming Feather, kissing him on the check as her hooves light up with fire the same color of her coat. All three of them raised their hooves in unison, and the combined fire ball sent out was of all three colors. Scootaloo heard a twig cracking, and she turned her head to see Twilight and the other of the main six hiding too. Watching them, Twilight, had a look of curiosity on her face, while Dash seemed to be about to flip out at the Spitfire kissing Flaming Feather's cheek. Applejack was covering her mouth to avoid her shouting out. Scootaloo looked back to see that the fire was still seeping out of there hooves, and the black orb was getting smaller from being surrounded by the fire, until it was nothing. Vinyl Scratch vanished. When she was gone, Spitfire drew Flaming Feather into a long, deep kiss. Rainbow Dash burst forth yelling at the top of her lungs, an evil grin plastered on her face.
"Flaming Feather and Spitfire kissing in a tree! K. I. S. S-" She was cut of By Spitfire's yelp and Flaming Feather covering Rainbow Dash's mouth.
"Shush! We're trying to keep our relationship a secret." The rest of the of the Main six walked out, each of them smirking. Rarity had an evil look on her face that made Scootaloo gulp. Rarity looked like she was about to say something, but Twilight Sparkle cut her off.
"You two plus Vinyl are Pyros?" She said fascinated by them.
"What's a Pyro?" Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Rarity and Fluttershy all asked at once. Spitfire was about to explain, but Pinkie Pie cut her off
"Silly Fillies, they are ponies who can chanel the Fire of Equestria and it shows as the same color as there hooves. They chanel it by using there Emotions. With that, they protect our universe from all kinds of bad thingy wingies!" Everypony looked at her confused.
"How do you know all that? Only the royal family and the guard know about that." Spitfire flusstered.
"Oh Spitsy! I talked to the writer...DUH" Everypony just excepted that with a nod.
"Anyways, please don't tell ANYpony about our relationship, or us being Pyros." Flaming Feather begged they all nodded, save Applejack.
"Alright Sugercube. I wanted ta ask ya Flame if ya could help me on the farm fer Applebucking season." Flaming Feather nodded as everypony but Applejack, Rainbow Dash and Spitfire left.
"Alright now, I'll see ya around" Rainbow flew away. Flaming Feather and Spitfire kissed quickly before she flew away, and he and Applejack troted away.
Scootaloo sighed watching him go. She liked him a lot. She felt they had some kind connection. Never the less, she went away, hoping they could hang out again soon.
When she got back to the orphanage, she cared the scooter on her back. The head of Sunshine Daisy, a pale yellow Earth Pony with a green mane and tail, with blue eyes and red glasses stormed to her in a huff.
"Just where WERE you?" She yelled stomping her hoof down. To Scootaloo, she seemed like one of those mares who never really had a foalhood.
"Just outside, Miss Sunshine" Scootaloo unenthusiasticly droled.
"You didn't tell me or anypony else! we were so worried." If there was anything Sunshine Dasiy did not look like it was worried.
"Yeah, whatever." Scootaloo began to walk away but she felt Sunshine Dasiy's hoof smack her cheek. She shruged it off, not really caring, and ran to her room, which was mostly a bed, a desk, and a window where if Scootaloo looked out, she could see the park.
Sunshine Dasiy locked her door from the outside.
"No food, water, or ANYTHING for a day!" She yelled, and stormed off. Scootaloo junped onto to her bed and screamed into her pillow.
"It just isn't fair! Applebloom has Applejack, Big Mac AND Granny Smith! Sweetie bell has Rarity and her parents! I have nothing! ITS NOT FAIR!" She wished Somepony would adopt her and save her from this nightmare of a "home".
-(A week later. Applebucking season)-
Flaming Feather and Applejack were curently bucking apples at Sweet Apple Acres, as it was Applebucking Season.
His legs hit the tree thrunk of the apple tree, and the apples fell down into the baskets like a waterfall. He whipped the sweat off his brow and turned to Applejack with a devilish smirk on his face. He galloped at full speed and took her hat.
"My hat." He playfully said as Applejack turned to him, a playful smirk also on her face.
"Get back here and give me mah hat!" She galloped after Flaming Feather her the earth pony abillity to gain more mussle mass then the other pony races gave her an advantege to him and soon they were side by side and she tackled him and they tumbled down the hill in each others hoofs, laughing as Applejack's hat had been left at the top of the hill, because it fell off Flaming Feathers head when Applejack tackled him. They landed at the bottom of the hill, Applejack ontop of him and breathing hard, as was Flaming Feather. They kept laughing, but she noticed something on Flaming Feathers chest, that would have been out of sight if he stood up. Scars, and lots of them. In the shape of letters that spell out. Luna, Celestia and Cadance. Her eyes shrank as her she kept looking down and saw the scars went all the way down untill his waist, and there was so much that there was barly and normal space on the area but they would be hidden if he was standing up. Applejacks breath was shallow, and she backed off him and just stared.
"What?" Flaming Feather asked, and then he noticed the position he was in and rolled over to his stomic to hide them.
"Flame, why in the same HELL Do you have those?" She almost yelled at him. She was very worried for him.
"No reason, BUCK OFF!" he yelled, and went back up the hill and tossed Applejack her hat. She grabbed it, placed it on her head, and went back to work.
"Somethin' is wrong with him. Ah'm gonna find out." She promised herself.
