PONIES IN ARMS- WAR IN EQUESTRIA

IN HONOR OF PVTREAD AND HIS COURAGOUS ACTIONS IN DEFEATING THE 2 WARMONGERS WHO HAD EVERY INTENT ON DETROYING EVERYTHING THAT WE ALL LIVE AND STAND FOR.

It is on this very site that Pvt Read, along with his small unit made their last stand, and was finally able to free Ponyville, killing the remnants of the equestrian liberation front. The small unit of his not only killed Trixie, but also the newly elected leader of the force Gilda. In doing so Pvt Read lost almost his entire unit to being wounded or killed, in the process being severely wounded himself, being shot in the flank by an enemy sniper. Who subsequently was killed by rainbow dash, which herself being severely wounded, having most of her right wing shot off by a member of the E.L.F air wing, was able to pull Pvt Read to safety. We as equestrians and fellow ponies in arms dedicate this statue and monument to the thoughtless, brave, and heroic acts of all who suffered and died in this war that has changed all of our lives forever.

The purple unicorn had her hoof on the small etched stone, tears streaming down her face. "I, I can’t believe this happened to our quiet peaceful town". The tears were flowing fast and hard when she looked over to Applejack who was inconsolable at the loss of almost her entire family in Ponyville. Applejack was hugging Rainbow Dash who had a mechanical wing with a blue paint job and a permanent under wing .50cal. Pinkie was just beside herself and in no mood to party, laugh, or have any fun at the moment. She had a deep wound in her flank from a small fire arm of some sort, and was busy hugging Applejack with Dash. Twilight had so much on her mind it was driving her to the point of insanity, she was thinking of Pvt Read, and all they had been through both war wise and relationship wise. That’s right relationship; she and he had gotten caught in the library unable to go anywhere else until that stupid sniper pony had left the town in the morning. It started innocently enough with twilight being scared for her life after finding out that she had a bounty on her head, along with the rest of the 6 ponies representing the elements of harmony. Pvt Read had told her of his orders and even showed them to her so she would get it that it was a bad idea to venture outside the library, since spike had been killed. Twilight with no other choice reluctantly agreed to have Pvt Read stay with her in the library, and to let him protect her. Besides how much trouble could an actively serving member of the equestrian army be for me? She thought. She was in for a shock, and she just didn’t know it yet. It started when a bombing run by the E.L.F left Ponyville without power. Pvt Read had to go check on the generators to see how bad off they were. Twilight asked him to stay and send another pony to check on them telling him she was scared. Ok Pvt Read said to her I will stay here with you, you wouldn’t happen to have anything strong to drink,,, before he could finish his words she was in the room with a bottle of apple whisky. Finest in Equestria she said to him, home grown apples by our very own Apple family. Now Pvt Read wasn’t stupid by any stretch of the word and knew just where this was leading. They started by gently nuzzling each other and pecking at each other’s lips until they kissed, Pvt Read knowing full well what he was doing and not caring one bit. Twilight was sweet and if a bit nerdy, but she had something about her that he just couldn’t resist, and wasn’t going to even if he could. Twilight knowing exactly what she was doing also had not a care in the world either, so they ended up in that inevitable of circumstances and rutted all night long into the morning. Twilight had only her thoughts now, thoughts of a wildly passionate night and what could have come from it. Sadly nothing would come of it, I too was remembering that night and how I had actually fallen for Twilight and actually had thoughts of staying behind when my unit left. It wasn’t meant to be though. I along with the 6 ponies we had kept alive had changed, not just physical appearance but emotional as well. Applejack now had to pick up the pieces of her shattered life, and take up the responsibilities of both Apple Bloom, and Big Mac. She now had to get along also without the company of her beloved dog. Dash had to get along knowing that one of her best friends was now gone forever, and not coming back along with having to get used to the new mechanical wing of hers. Pinkie had lost some feeling in her flank due to the bullet wound. That was nothing compared to the constant nightmares, sleepless nights, and having to console Applejack for months to come. Rarity's boutique had suffered major damage, and she was a wreck financially after the war ended. Fluttershy yeeeeesh, let’s just say flutter bitch was around for a good long time, following all she had seen being a member of the medical team. It wasn’t her fault though, it was the only way she could cope with all she had seen and been through. The war against the E.L.F had changed us all, some for the better and some for the worst. The estimated cost of it all was staggering, the loss of life even more, and the toll on every pony’s nerves uncountable. Me, heck I stayed in the army and went active, my acts in combat earning me the equestrian Medal of Honor, and my very own unit to lead which consisted of the remainder of the unit I had since landing in Caulifornia along with replacements for the fallen. I refused a massive advance in rank because to me the ground was where I was meant to be, not behind a desk in the rear. I did however request a change in post and got it. I knocked on the library door early in the evening and waited for it to open so I could surprise her. "Just a minute" I heard that sweet voice say, she opened the door and was immediately in my hooves at first she kicked and bit me, needless to say she had remembered the basic anti attacker training I had given her, but when she realized just who it was that was holding her the kicking and biting stopped, and the kissing started I was finally home.
