Recon Group Equis

I packed up my things and replaced my wing covers with a fresh pair knowing that it would be a while before I can replace them again. The purpose of the covers were to make our wings smaller, so we could blend in better with the populace. With out them our wings would be two almost three times the size of an average pegasus on this world. I still think the only reason I'm able to fly with such small wings is the 'magic' that flows normally through this planet. With these wings covers on the only way you could tell the difference between the pegusi from Earth and the pegusi from Equestria is that the pegusi from Earth don't have hollow bones or natural crash resistance, so if we crash we die.

I turned to Ze. "Alright while I'm gone you're in charge of the house. Make sure to take care of the dog and when you can drop off the rest of my equipment in ponyville."

"Yeah alright, can I go back to bed now."

"Yeah sure just remember to bring my equipment to Ponyville."

I made my way to the train station where Silver Scope and Crescent Sun were waiting. As I got closer I noticed how tired they looked. Though crescent looked slightly annoyed.

"So you guys ready to get moving."

"Yeah we are." said Crescent in a slightly cold tone

Picking up on this I decided to act quickly. "Hey Scope you think you could go get our train tickets."

"Uhhh yea sure."

As soon as scope was out of ear shot I immediately began to question Crescent.

"So you think you can tell me why you're so angry. Did something bad happen between you and Scope?"

"No nothing happened... well nothing bad?"

"So was he... you know 'small'."

"No of course not he was actually very," she made a face that just screamed pleasure, "filling. And he's also very..."

I cut her off before she could go into detail. "If that's not the problem then why are you so mad. And also I'm kind of curious, did you two had sex on the first date? Because it doesn't seem like either of you would do that sort of thing."

Crescent sat on her haunches and put her hooves up to her face and began to cry. She began to talk through her tears. "You want to know why I'm angry. I'm angry because I recently learned I'm unable to have children. At first I thought my parents were joking when they told me when I was younger that I had a small chance of being able to reproduce. So I got anxious with him because... well Scope and I have been friends for so long and I've been trying so long. It just felt right." Her mood immediately turned a bit angrier. "And don't think I'm just using him, so I can have a child. I respect him too much to do that."

I looked past her to see scope behind a luggage cart, staring at us with a neutral tone.

"Then maybe you should go talk to him about it. Or don't and live too regret it. Either way it's your choice." I walked away from her and headed towards the train and signaled Scope to go over and comfort her. He then ran over to her.

I sat looking out my window of the trains cabin at the passing mountain landscape out into the valley that housed Ponyville. Until I saw a figure of a pony out of the corner of my eye that reminded me of the same figure from the underground tunnels back at the house. I immediately turned around to find that the pony was gone. I quickly went out of the cabin to search for the pony that I saw. Only to find that the pony was gone. I knew from that moment on that some pony was following me.

The train pulled into Ponyville station. Me, Scope and Crescent walked of the train with our luggage. Before we could react were greeted by a hail of confetti and a very pink mare that managed to, beyond all logic, grabbed all three of us and proceeded to throw us into a party. I looked all around now shocked by the events that just happened only too look up and see a banner the said 'welcome new guards party'. I decided to leave the party to go and find princess Twilight, so I could start my job. As soon as I began to leave the same mare that grabbed me and my friends jumped right on top of me. And began to talk to me in a very high pitch voice.

"High I'm Pinkie pie and I would just love to welcome you to Ponyville. What's your name?"

"Uuuh?"

"Oh of course duh your Flash sentry. We met back in the crystal empire. Well not exactly met more like told about by my friend Twilight. Who you already know about. I mean she says she's not into you, but I personally think she's lieing. I mean it's kind of ironic that you're here because we didn't even know who was coming. Which makes this all the more exciting."

I looked at her trying to comprehend what she just said. "Wait what was that last part?"

"Oh you mean that part about..."

Before she could finish she was cut off by an unknown mare. "PINKIE I think you've already introduced yourself to him. Why don't you introduce yourself to the other new guards."

"Oh that's a great idea!"

The mare who I now recognized as princess Twilight walked over to me while still looking at Pinkie pie shaking her head and without looking extended a hoof towards me. I gladly grabbed her hoof and began to pull my self up.

"I'm sorry she just gets like that around new ponies."

"It's alright all she did was push me down to the..."

Before I could get up she let go of my hoof sending me back towards the ground. She looked down at me with a surprised expression.

"Oh sorry about that." she said smiling while blushing slightly

I got from the ground not breaking eye contact. "It's alright princess."

We continued to awkwardly stair at each other for a minute until I decided to break the tension. "So do I start my job now or do I have to do some follow up with you."

Without saying anything just walked of with the same expression on her face. As she was walking away I couldn't help but stair at her thinking "That was awkward."
