Into the Fire

TEN YEARS AFTER THE INCIDENT

Firestarter sat on his bed and looked at the night sky through the window. His Mare Friend,Diamond Skies was sleeping next to him. Fire got up and went to the window.

Fire looked outside the window and saw his reflection on the window and he sighed.

"What the hay happened that I'm like this?" He mumbled to himself.

Firestarter had changed ever since the incident at the facility. His once bright blue mane and tail had been replaced by a fire red colour at the furthest half of his tail and mane and a fire blue colour at the half of where his mane had reached his head and his tail had reached his flank. The red parts of his tail and mane were on fire all the time and so was his hooves and his body was a dark red and black. His eyes were red and the only colour other than red on his eyes was his pupils and sclera (The white area of your eye .-.)

"I just need a sign..." Fire looked down.

He felt a nudge at the side of him and he quickly turned around only to see Diamond Skies.

"Fire..Are you ok?" She said with a tired voice.

Fire nodded and looked up at her.

"Yeah...Yeah I'm fine.." He mumbled.

"Are you sure? I mean you haven't been able to sleep for 3 days now. If you want I can go and get you some hot chocolate?" Diamond asked.

Fire smiled and shook his head.

"No..No it's all right..I don't want you missing out on sleep just for me..." Fire nuzzled Diamond.

Diamond blushed and looked at him.

"Are you sure? Cause I mean,I don't care about sleep. As long as you are happy." She said trying to convince him.

Fire looked at the white mare who's mane and tail sparkled in the moonlight.

"Look,I know that you love me and all. But I love you more than you love me and I don't want you getting into trouble with your boss just because you never got enough sleep." Fire sighed.

Diamond sighed and looked at Fire.

"Fire.." Diamond said.

"Yes?" He replied.

"You do know it's saturday right?"

"Is it?"

"Um..Yeah?"

Fire facehooved.

"Argh..I'm so stupid for not realising that..." He muttered.

Diamond laughed and turned on the bedroom light.

"Well,Since I'm awake. I might as well get you something to drink." She said as she opened the door.

"But I don't want something to drink" Fire whined.

Diamond laughed again.

"Sweet Celestia. Are you always this whiny?" She asked.

"No.." Fire blushed.

Diamond laughed and went downstairs and Fire followed.

Diamond went into the kitchen and looked in the fridge for something.

"Do we have any milk left over?" Diamond asked.

"No,I don't think so." Fire replied.

Fire looked around the kitchen for something to eat.

"Did you forget to go to the store?" Diamond asked.

Fire froze for a minute and looked at Diamond.

"What did you say?" Fire asked with worry on his face.

"I said,Did you forget to go to the store?" She repeated.

Fire banged his face against the wall.

"You forgot didn't you?" Diamond said.

"Yup.." Fire replied as he continued banging his head off the wall.

Diamond sighed and pulled him away from the wall.

"Will you stop inflicting pain on yourself? Just because you forgot to get stuff from the store doesn't mean the world is going to end right?" Diamond smiled.

Fire looked at Diamond and smiled back.

"You always know how to put a smile on my face whenever I forget stuff." Fire laughed.

"Yes,Yes I did know that." Diamond also laughed.

"And that Is why I love you." Fire smiled and kissed Diamond on the cheek.

Diamond blushed and looked at the clock.

"Wow. Is it seriously eight in the morning already?" Diamond gasped.

Fire looked at the clock.

"Huh..I guess time does fly when you are having fun." Fire gazed at the clock.

Diamond laughed and opened the front door.

"Where ya going?" Fire asked.

"To the store. We need food cause we are all out and we need milk." Diamond smiled.

"Be careful ok?" Fire looked at Diamond as she laughed.

"I'll be careful." Diamond laughed as she went out the door and closed it behind her.
