Twilight crossed the parade grounds where the rest of her platoon was still standing and awaiting deployment. As she got closer to the train she noticed a few officers directing recruits to other sections of the train. She walked up to a brown earth pony wearing the standard issue gray uniform of the Royal Army. He had a brown mane sticking out of his cap and kind blue eyes. He had the silver bars of a 2nd lieutenant on his lapel. He smiled at them and spoke in a slight Trottingham accent "Good morning you three! Which division are you heading to?"

"We are heading to 7th division sir!" Twilight saluted as did Wafer and Sunshine behind her.

"Great!" He smiled. "Always looking to meet the new blood before their shipped off!" He pointed to a train car not far from where they were standing. "Might be a room for you three in there, long as you don't mind an unknown roommate, either way, welcome to the 7th Royal Rifles! I'm Lieutenant Turner by the way! I'll be your commanding officer till we get to the front!" He returned the salute and dismissed them.

The three started walking toward their car when Wafer, a brown earth pony buck with brown eyes and a white mane, piped up, "Hey which company do you think we'll be shipped off too? Delta? Those guys are always doing something interesting from what I hear."

Sunshine, a yellow unicorn mare with amber eyes and an orange mane, rolled her eyes and replied. "Yeah but their stuck doing all the heavy lifting and the Rebels are hell bent on taking every position we fortify if half of the stories we hear are true. I'd rather be in Fox company. Those guys are sent in to take care of everything, from towns and cities to ridges and farmland. That's where we'll see some real action!"

"What about you Twilight? Which company do you think we'll be stuck in?" Twilight thought for a second before she replied with "Echo."

Immediately both her companions mouths dropped. "Echo? The Panzer grenadiers? THE STROMTROOPERS? You're crazy!" Wafer managed to get out. "Yeah!" Sunshine replied with. "Those guys are the best of the best!" No way In hell we are being placed in there!"

Twilight shrugged and climbed into the car and found the nearly empty room leaving her companions behind. It was a decently small room with four bunks and a trunk below to store their duffel bags and Stahlhelm helmets. Twilight started to put her stuff in a trunk when a sudden movement behind her caused her to whip her head around to see who was inside the room.

It was a unicorn stallion with a sandy coat, tan mane and green eyes, wearing the grey uniform of the Army and with a pair of goggles sitting on the rim of his Stahlhelm. He smiled meekly before he said "Hi, I'm Wiretap, member of the 7th Rifles Delta company Pioneers. It's a pleasure Miss?" He held out his hand for a handshake.

Twilight quickly regained her composure and took his hand replying "Twilight Sparkle, 7th Division, who the hell knows." Wiretap looked at her strangely and said "If your in this car your in Delta company, surely Lieutenant Turner sent you here?"

Twilight though about it and the asked "Brown mane and coat, Blue eyes?" Wiretap nodded and Twilight groaned "Great, I'm stuck in Delta when I wanted to be in at least Fox." She finished placing her stuff in the trunk and climbed up on the upper bunk, opposite of Wiretap. At that point an excited Wafer and an annoyed Sunshine walked in "Hey Twilight we're in-" "Delta, I know Wafer, throw your shit in a trunk and take a bunk, it's gonna be a long ride to the front." With a groan of 'Spoil-sport' from Wafer he and Sunshine put their duffels in their own trunks and took their bunks. Wafer got the one over Wiretap and Sunshine took the one beneath Twilight. As the others started to talk amongst each other, Twilight closed her eyes and tried to go off to sleep. Hope I get to see some action soon was the last thought in twilight's mind before she drifted off to sleep.
