Smoke filled the air. Crackling, embers floating about from our temporary fire. It wasnt luxury, far from it; The Stable was. Sadly we were kicked out, because I was cheated. I always knew the Overmare was out for me, she just needed the excuse to screw me over. Her mother was a good friend of mine, and she was jealous. The Overmares mother passed away and was elected. Ever since then, she lubes up and royally fucks me. Well, did fuck me. Okay, enough about fucking.

Over the pass hour, Waker explained to us about the wasteland; not skipping one crucial detail. I merely nodded every time she asked if I understood. Im worried about Flash, shes more quiet than usual. It doesn't happen everyday you get kicked out of your home, especially for a filly. When Mom and Dad died, something broke inside of her; like a twig. Im just trying to assess the situation, because other wise Id snap.

The smell of pre war beans spread around our noses. Above the fire was a rusty pot, containing brown beans. Waker pulled four bowls out of her saddlebags, and placed them in front of us. Flash just stared at it, before murmuring under her breath; and picked it up with her hoof. I levitated mine up and proceeded to pour the food into everypony`s bowls. I filled mine last, then pulled it up to my muzzle, and sipped it gently. Waker just gulped it down and belched loudly, Flash giggling at it.

I placed the bowl down after I finished, and trotted over to the edge where we were. Out in the distance was Greenhill, the little dots bustling around. I glanced back at Flash and surely enough she was done eating. I smiled a little and turned back to the horizon, staring at it`s beauty. Eventually, I noticed Waker packing up and that was the sign we were leaving. I shot one more look at the horizon and smiled widely. I trotted back and picked up Flash, placed her on my back. She adjusted on my back and gave a small smile. We started towards Greenhill.

Walking, me and Flash squinted at a small camp in the distance. Waker caught what we were looking at, and joined in. Finally, we stopped staring and started up again. I felt my saddlebags getting shifted around and I saw Flash digging through, her little hooves shoving through stuff. "What are you looking for?"

"Im looking for a drink. Im thirsty." I frowned at that. My horn glowed and out a bottle of water came. She snatched it out of my field of magic and unscrewed the cap, gulping it down. I chuckled a bit and we continued.

The wind picked up and I looked up at the sky. There was little white specks gliding down towards the ground. I though about what it was. Maybe snow? The books in our Stable had some information about winter and snow. I felt my back shaking and looked back at Flash. She was shivering. Oh hell No! I immediately dug into my saddlebags and pulled out a small stitched, warm cloth. I placed it around her and she smiled and mouthed "Thank you".

After a couple of minutes, I started shivering as well. My jaws were chattering and I felt my hooves starting to go numb. No Wary, you can get through this; For Flash. Waker glanced back, making sure we werent falling behind. Few seconds later, my hindlegs were numb; all feeling going away with the wind. I put my hoof up to my face, trying to block the wind. It didnt take long for the snow to start cover the ground, the white speckles turning the color from mundane to white.

I looked forward and notice we were a couple yards away from Greenhill. The town was absolutely filled with people of all sorts. Ponies, Griffons, Zebras, and some weird zombie looking ponies. The guards noticed our approach and aimed their guns at us. I scowled at them and they just kept their guns up. "Open up the gate, Dickwads." Waker said. The guards stepped down and eventually the gate opened.

One guard stepped forward, his slime colored mane flowing through the wind. "Who are these ponies, Waker?" Waker walked up and murmured to him. He nodded and strafed to the side. At that point my legs were about to give out. "Youre welcomed here as long as you dont start any trouble. Flash nodded and finally I did. I walked past him into the town, knees weak. Through out the town was so many shops, merchants and customers alike.

As we walked through, people were staring at us. Some even started whispering to each other, and others walking past me. I spotted a bar and though why not? Crap, Flash was still with me. Oh well, not like she`ll like alcohol. I trotted towards it and looked around. I noticed that there was scrap everywhere. Finally we arrived at the bar and pushed the door open. Conversations stopped for a second, and resumed a second later.

I walked up to the counter and sat down on a stool, Flash hopping on one herself. The bartender glanced at me and cleared his throat. I pulled out some bottlecaps Waker gave me, saying that`s the currency. Meh, beats me. I dropped them on the counter and said. "Whiskey... please."

He reached his hoof under the counter and pulled out a rectangular bottle filled with zesty drink. He also pulled a shot glass up and proceeded to pour the drink. After filling, he pushed it to me. I levitated it and gulped it down in one go, the warm drink making a new home in my belly. Flash was fiddling with her hooves and was singing lowly about wrapping up winter. I smiled and motioned for another, and the bartender did just that. Gulping it down, I noticed a stallion walking over, and sat down.

"You new here...Huh bitch?" He said in a drunken matter. I glanced at him, frowned, and punched square in the muzzle; knocking off the stool and onto the wooden, stained floor. I stood up and walked over to him, looking down at him. After a moment, I replied. "Yes...and if you don`t leave me alone I will beat you into a bloody pulp." He spit on my hoof and I sighed. I picked him up by the mane and slammed him up against the wall. I pounced on him several times, before I dropped him on the ground.

I walked over to Flash and placed her on my back. I walked to the door and everypony was staring at me. I walked out and looked around, glancing around for something to do. The wasteland was just grand, wasn`t it?
