"So you understand these parts are very important to us and we should repay you generously for them Miss?" Walking into the Overmare's office I found Boom talking to the Overmare. I really do suck at this inner monologue.

"Boomageton, you pronounce it Boom-a-geton and there is really no need to pay me any bottle caps. Stable buck has given me something I haven't had in a good few years."

Ok, nopony has seen me. Back up time.

The Overmare spoke up, "And what would that be? Slashwing was only gone for a few weeks. To be honest, I thought he would be gone for months." After that, I walked in and knocked. They both turned to face me.

"Ah Slashwing."

"Hey Stable."

After several hours, the reactors were completely up and running. A meeting was called for all of Stable 54's residents to come to the atrium. Once the stable's able bodied population had arrived, the Overmare stepped up to the microphone.

"Ponies of Stable 54. Over the last three weeks, we have suffered greatly. Our reactor failed and risked our very life inside the stable but if it were not for two ponies. One brave, the other kind. We would not be back to how we are now. Slashwing, please come up here."

Oh great. Walking up, I saw the Overmare looking at me with what I think is relief.

"You Slashwing, braved the outside even knowing only five years ago we lost 23 ponies scouting for a safe place for us stable. And outside you braved the world and saved possibly countless lives and so a reward is in place."

Clopping her hoof on the ground, three unicorns brought up three items all under sheets covering them.

The Overmare started to talk again, "For service to the stable, I present to you these gifts. The first...." Using her own magic to remove the first sheet, she revealed a stable branding combined with what look like stable security armor.

"After hearing the story of almost being killed by horrible ponies, we have repaired the stable branding you used to venture outside with help of security. It should hopefully protect you from any bullets."

She then lifted the next sheet revealing my battle saddle. The same one Chief Lightshell confiscated from me since non-security ponies couldn't have guns.

"The next is your 'Battle saddle'. Chief Lightshell has examined the weapons you carried and has agreed to return to you the saddle, but not with real bullets. You may have rubber bullets to aid security but no real bullets while in the stable."

I felt rather happy about that. I liked my little battle saddle and what's more, it looked like my gun had been fixed and the saddle fitted with my saddle bag on the side of the gun and even an ammo changer.

Finally the Overmare lifted the last sheet showing off a fancy looking device. The unicorn holding it unlocked my Pipbuck, taking it off my foreleg and floated it over to himself.

"And finally, we give you a upgrade to your Pipbuck. It will now do more, including being able to open the stable door so if you ever want to explore the outside at your leisure you may."

This was unexpected. Getting my Pipbuck back, I was being told I was free to leave and return at my leisure. I could just uproot at any time. Smiling, I thanked the Overmare and stepped down, expecting that it was over. However the Overmare spoke again.

"Would Miss Ageton please step forward?"

Looking over, I saw Boom go up to the Overmare and watch another mare walk up behind the Overmare with another sheet.

"Miss Ageton, if not for the Kindness you showed helping our Slashwing safely get the parts to save the stable. We would have lost our home."

Lifting the sheet, I swear everyponies' eyes widened at what we saw. A stable branding and a Pipbuck with a set of missiles in a heart shape on the side. Which anypony could see was Boom's cutiemark.

"So it is only fair that Stable 54 is your home too Miss Ageton. I present you with your own stable branding and Pipbuck. As well as a room and a place among us. You are a true hero to us here."

At the word 'hero', Boom broke down and hugged the Overmare, smiling madly.
