The dead move.

What now?

There was a rainbow in the sky, birds were chirping and I was on my way to yet another canned peach sale, then I heard what sounded like banging. "Ugh, go away..." Now then back to that ever oh so awesome dream...wait, banging? "Oh shit!" I rushed to one of my windows that had a crack in-between the boards I and the unicorn had put up a few hours ago, then went  back to sleep after doing so. What I saw scared the Tartarus out of me, the infected ponies knew we were here or something because they were just aimlessly banging against my house, luckily they were not specifically aiming for anywhere that would give more easily, so they probably don't know we are here, but why are they banging against my house then?

"Mughfphu, no more coffee you stupid walrus." What the fuck kind of dream is that, seriously unicorn, what the Tartarus? You know what who cares, I need to wake her up anyway, we have got to get out of here...somehow. I prodded her with my hoof a couple of times, nothing, then I prodded her face. "No walrus, I don't swing that way..." What the flying fuck was that.

She had finally began to stir a bit, I continued to shake her around a little, hoping not to make her freak out. "Urfmph, what do you want?"

"First, we have a problem outside, second, a walrus?" seriously, a fucking walrus, what's up with that? Her face was priceless, it was a mix between anger, shock, revulsion and a little curiosity, mostly anger though.

"What the Tartarus is wrong with you!" She now looked a little a bit bashful. "Uhm-uh what did I say...exactly?" Her cheeks glowed a bright red from the amount she was blushing.

"Well something along the lines of enjoying some coffee with a walrus when I think he or she tried to put a move on you." I wiggled my eyebrows at her and grinned a little. Messing with this unicorn was going to be so much fun. I had decided to go ahead and take a look at her cutie mark, I honestly had no idea why I had not before, it was a syringe that had two bandages covering it in an X formation. "So what's your name, I think that we are probably going to be spending some time together, whether it be by choice or by a mutual need for help."

"My name is Strongheart, you can probably guess what I am best a doing."

"Heart related things, right? Also, why would you work in a nursery and not a hospital?"

"Yeah, heart related things... mostly surgeries and transplants, I worked in a DAYCARE not a nursery, and I worked in the DAYCARE because I liked kids more, they are so much more fun to be around."

"Okay okay, daycare I get it, I am gonna go wake up Storm now, oh yeah the Pegasus' name is Rainstorm." I proceeded to walk towards the stairs when I heard Strongheart gasp. "Did you look out the window?" I did not turn around.

"Yeah, why didn't you tell me as soon as I woke up?"

"I was hoping not to make you freak out, I was going to wait until both of you were up that way I could tell the both of you." It really did seem like a good Idea. But then again having two ponies freak out at the same time would be kind of bad. "Well I am just going to go wake her up now, do try and be quiet." I smiled sarcastically and went up the stairs.

I went to the door and opened it, she was awake and sitting on the bed. "Before you say anything, yes I know there are a lot out there, no, I have no idea how to get out of this situation, no I cannot fly over them to distract them while you two get away, my wings are tired, and no I am not going to freak out." Well with that all covered I decided to go ahead and sit, what else would I do.

"Well shit, I was kinda hoping you could do your whole flying thingamajig." Her face had a look that said ""Thingamajig!? What the fuck is that supposed to mean?!"" I was now worried that she would be angry at me, an angry traveling companion is a bad companion to travel with.

"Well uhm uh, moving on. I think we should wait here for one more day, if more come then we wait until you can hopefully be able to fly again, if they leave then we leave on hoof."

"Okay, that sounds sensible, but what do we do in the meantime?"

I honestly have no Idea. "Lets go down and discuss it with Strongheart, oh yeah that's the unicorns name by the way." She said nothing, but rather decided to go down the stairs, I joined her in doing so. When we reached the bottom we found that Strongheart had began to sleep again, I really hope that this does not happen a lot.

"Okay, well maybe we should just let her sleep, I mean she did probably see some pretty fucked up things out there." Storm was right, she had seen it happen to another pony at least once.

"Yeah, okay, well I have...board games we could play?" She turned to me, her face surprised me immensely, it was pure jovial happiness, maybe suggesting that was a mistake, all I really had was checkers and a game that came from the Griffon lands, you have to throw a ring on to some pegs, it's weird.

'Ooooh what games do you have, do you have checkers?" Well, that worked in my favor quite nicely.

"Yes, yes I do, in fact I am quite glad that you asked, I only really had two."

-Hours of checkers later...and a lot of eye twitching.-

"Enough! No more checkers, I have one other game for the love of Celestia lets play that." I had won a lot more than I had lost, but still, even with that happiness and excitement of winning, things got dull quickly.

"Nah, it's night time, I think I am going to go to be...do you mind if I use the bed again?" Huh, that's the first time any mare has ever asked to be in my bed, haha sex joke, I love my brain. "Hello, you there?" she began to wave a hoof in my face.

"Yeah, yeah sure go ahead, I'll just sleep on the cold, hard, uncomfortable ground..."

"Thanks!" Dammit, she had a grin on that was plastered with sarcasm. My pillow and blanket were still down here so I decided to go ahead and just head to sleep as well, what else would I do?
