Chapter 2: Last day together?

I open my eyes to smell something delicious. I turn my head to the table on my left side to see a bowl with soup on it. "You should take it, dear. After your done, we making some checks on you. Then we see if you are ready to go home or if you still need to stay here."

"Thanks." I use my muzzle on the hot soup and start to drink from it. My muzzle doesn't hurt anymore. Hopefully a good sign, that I can leave later. I have to meet Sky again, better hoping that Thunder doesn't hurted her more.

I drinked half of the soup, when the doctor walks in. "Like the soup?"

"Sure, it was delicious. Thanks." The doctor smiles nods. "Your welcome. Alright, Mr.Runner, we going to check on your muzzle now. Does it still hurt?"

"Nope, feels like usual." The doctor nods. "Okay, I going to check it now."

He touch my muzzle and start pressing on it a little bit. "Pain?"

"Nope." He touches and presses everywhere on my muzzle, asking the same question again and again. After that, he use his horn and x-rays my muzzle with his magic, to getting sure. "Alright, Mr.Runner. Everything looks okay now. But to be sure, take this."

He gives me a bottle with yellow pills in it. "Take daily two from those pills. One, when you wake up and one, when you going to sleep."

"Got it, Doc." He smiles. "Have a nice day then and don't fight again, please."

"Sure." Finally!

I directly run out from the hospital, right to the direction of Sky's house. I knock on the door several times. "Sky! Sky are you in there?!"

No answer. Looks like, she is not in her house. But where could she ... the lake!

I run as fast as I can to the lake, but there is nopony around. "Sky, where are you ..."

I start looking around. Left, right, behind, up ... "Sky?"

Above me is a grey small cloud. I see a dark blue tail hanging from it, that looks exactly like the tail from ... "Sky!"

After I said her name, the tail disappears on the cloud, before her head shows up. Her eyes are totally red and wet from crying. "L-Light?"

She flies from the cloud and lands in front of me, rubbing her eyes. And then, she hugs me. "I t-thought, he killed you ..."

"I told you all the time, he is an-"

"I told you, that my parents wanted that." I nod. "But it still doesn't answering the question. Why do you sleeped with him?"

"Should I say no everytime he asked? You saw, how bad he can be, when I am against him ..." And then she start to cry again, tears rolling down her cheeks. "Hey, pssst, it's fine, Sky. You can explain the situation to your ..."

She suddenly pushes me away. I look confused to her, to see, why she pushed me away. "I did already ... wrote a letter to them yesterday. The answer was, that I have to go back to them forever or to stay here, but without any money from them. And you remember, I don't have any job yet."

"That's just unfair! How could they do that to you?" She sighs. "Because they are my parents ..."

"Buck that, you stay here! I don't let you go away to-"

"-Fillydelphia."

"Fillydelphia? But that is so far away ..." She rubs her eyes. "I-I know ..."

"Don't go, Sky ... you are my best friend ... no, my special somepony. The best mistake I've done was, to say accidentally, that I love you. I'm not ..." She stops me with her hoof. "But I have to ... I'm so sorry, Light, I ..."

Before she start to cry again, I hug her tightly. "When there is no other way, then ... let's make it the best last day here, Sky."

"But the train goes at 4 PM already ..." I let out a frown. "Did you packed your stuff?"

"Yep." I smile a little. "Well, we have about 10 AM now ... still about 6 hours together."

"You would waste your free time for me?" I let out a little chuckle, that causes her to smile a little. "Waste? Everything else would be wasted time. Sure, I love you! I have nothing else to do anyway."

She then gives me a kiss on my cheek, making me blush a little. That feeled good.

"You are waaaay better then Thunder, Light. Thank you so much." I nod. "No problem, Sky."

"So, what do you want to do then?" I tought for a moment, before smiling. "Well, I just find out, that you are going to leave. What about the new restaurant here? The Golden Apple?"

"In that time? Is it not a bit to soon for an restaurant yet?" I rub my belly happily. "Not for this stallion, haha!"

"Well, we have only about 6 hours, I guess, it is okay for today ..." I smile happily. "Alright, this way, Sky."

We start walking together back to Ponyville. On one side, it is awesome, that she love me too, on the other side, it is sad, that she has to leave soon.

After some time, we finally reach it. "So, here, we are."

I open the door and make enough place, to let her go in first. "A true Gentlecolt, hm?"

We walk together to the counter. "Good morning Ma'am and Sir. What do you two want?"

"A table for two, please." The mare behind the counter smiles and nods. "Sure, table 11 is free and not reserved. The waitress will come as fast as she can."

"Thank you." We walk together to table number 11 and sitting down on the chairs. The curtains hiding the sunshine here, only red candles making enough light to see something. On both places on the table are order cards. It's looking so romantic here.

Her dark blue mane and tail, her cyan blue fur, her cutie mark, a red cloud, formed as a heart and her light blue eyes looking in this light more beautiful then usually. She realized, that I look to her amorously and hides her blushing face on the order card. Adorable overload incoming!

"Don't hide your face, Sky. You have nothing to hide for." She slowly pulls the card away from her face. She is still blushing, but she smiles to me now. Her eyes sparkling in the candle light. I think, she slowly calms down, because she still is looking to me, but her blush disappears slowly. I look myself into the card, when the waitress comes to us to get the orders.

"I hope, this romantic place is okay for you two lovebirds?"

"It's-"

"-perfect!"

"We want only the best for our guests. So what do you two want today?" I look again in the card. "Number 11 and Number 23, please."

"Apple soup and milk, got it. And you Ma'am?" Sky looks on the card, then to the waitress. "Number 3 and Number 20, please."

"Apple plate and water, got it. The salad is for everypony here."

Another waitress, a unicorn mare, comes with two plates with salad on it. She uses her magic to levitate them here and on the table. "We preparing it ready, that will take some time."

They both going back, behind the counter inside the kitchen. "Soooo, last day, hmm?"

"Yeah ..." I sigh. "To bad, you can't stay here, without losing everything you have."

"I wish, there is a way ..." Me too ...

"I try to figure out something before you leave, mayby I find a way." She looks surprised. "R-really?"

"Sure." We start to eat our salads. I take the fork with my hoof and start to eat. 5 stars for it, I never eat a tasty salad like this!

"Wow, that's delicious!" She chuckles a little. "Yes, it does, hihi."

We continue to eat, until we both finished the salad. Short after finishing it, the unicorn mare comes back, using her magic to bring our food and drinks safe to our table. "Thank you."

The soup looks really tasty. She already started to eat the different sorts of apples on her plate. I was going to put my muzzle in the soup, when she coughs. I look to her, to see her pointing with her eyes to my spoon. I normally drink my soups with my muzzle, but she is right, this is a restaurant afterall. I nick my head to her and take the spoon in my hoof. I take a bit from the soup. Darn it, tasted that good! Also it gives me a warm feel in my body, all the pressure in my body disappears slowly.

I continue to eat. "You look really cute, when your dark brown cheeks are blushing, hihi."

Wait, what?! I blush?

"Thanks, I g-guess, hehe." She looks curious to my mane. "Always wanted to ask you something. Did you made the yellow lightning in your black mane by yourself?"

"Oh that? No, it was there since I can remember." She smiles. "Looks cool to me."

"Thanks ... yes, it does kinda look cool." She thinks for a moment. "So, I never asked that before either, where do you come from?"

"I was born in Manehattan. The darker side from the city. I'm happy, that I'm out of there." She frowns. "Was it so bad there?"

"I had to fight a lot there. Manehattan isn't that bad, but the area I lived, was horrible. Crime every 3 minutes. I better don't go in detail, what I saw there ... nopony should see that ..." She looks sadly. "I-I'm sorry, didn't know ..."

"It's okay. It's my past, not now. Do you realized something on my flank?" She raises an eyebrow. "Besides it looks sexy? No, why?"

"Thanks? Well, I have only on my right side a cutie mark. Same lightning as in my mane."

"How is that even possible?" I shrug. "I think, it's the scar, I got on my left side, before I got my cutie mark. I was 7 years old during that time."

"Wait, seven years old?!" I nod. "I wouldn't be here now, when my special talent wasn't to run fast."

"I'm so sorry ..." She slowly getting tears in her eyes. "Hey, it's okay, I'm here now, right? Don't cry."

She make a little smile. "You are right, Light."

We continue eating. A few minutes later, we were done with eating. I drink from my apple juice, she from her water. "Was everything okay?"

"It was awesome, I'm going to tell everypony to go here!" The waitress blushes, surprised by the response. "Wow, that's really nice from you, Sir."

"You deserve that." She smiles and puts a paper on the table. "Here is the bill."

I give the waitress the bits and some tip. She nods and walks back to the kitchen. "So, one hour is over now, 5 left. What now, Light?"

"Except for flying and challenging me, what do you like?" She thinks for a moment. "Well, I like to read the *Daring Do* books. But because of Thunder, I never really came to read all of the books. He always comes the whole day to me, when he had nothing to do, to buck me. I wish, I had the courage sooner, to tell him, that I hate him. I hate it, when his little-"

"Stop!" She winces. "Oh, I'm sorry ..."

"Hey, it's okay, you have me now, Sky." She smiles to me. "Yeah. Light is best pony!"

She gives me a hug. No normal or loving hug. A very deep, personal hug. "We should go to the library. Reading those books, you mentioned."

"That would be nice!" We leave the restaurant, making our way to the library. During our walk, I feel her hoof around my neck. A bit of blushing, we make our way to the library. When we reach it, I knock on the door. A magical aura opens the door. "Come in!"

We walk into the library. Twilight Sparkle, the princess of friendship, walks to us. "What do you two want? I guess a book, right?"

"No!" Twilight winces. "Really? What do you want then?"

"Books." She looks confused. "But .."

"You said a book, but we want more then one, haha!" Twilight looks to me seriously. "So, what books you two want?"

"Do you have the *Daring Do* books here?" She nods first, but then shakes her head. "Rainbow is making a *Daring Do*-Marathon. She took all books with her. But she should finished some already, mayby you can ask her to give you those, she already readed."

"We will, thanks, princess." She shakes her head. "Call me Twilight, that's okay."

"Okay, Twilight." We leave the library, making our way to Rainbow's house. About 5 minutes out from the town is her cloud castle. "Well, now is your turn to ask, Sky."

"Why?" I facehoof. "Flying cloud castle. I'm no pegasi?"

"But ... oh, yeah, hehe." She starts to fly to the door from her cloud castle. I never realized, that her flank looks so wonderful, when she is flying.

After few minutes, she flies back down with two books. "She only finished those two yet, but I didn't readed them yet. We can read them together, that should take few hours. Again, thank you for doing this. It means a lot to me."

"I know. Let's go back to your house, Sky." She stops me. "No."

"Huh?" I look to her confused. "I actually was never really in your house yet. Few times for short, but not long. Can we go to your place?"

"Sure, don't see a problem with this." She smiles wide happily. "Great! Thanks."

We walk our way to my house, back in Ponyville. It has nothing special in it, just everything, I need to live. "Where was the toilet again?"

"Upstairs, left door." She nods and runs to it. "Thanky!"

Did she really just said *Thanky*?

I take the books and sit down on my couch, waiting that she comes back.

After around 6 minutes, I guess, she has to do more then just go for a pee. Short after that, I hear the flush from the toilet. She come back down and sits next to me. "Sorry, it was important."

"Don't go again in detail, like in the restaurant, please." She chuckles. "Hehe, sorry for that again."

"No problem." She takes one of the books. "Let's start with this one. Can you read it, please?"

"Why me?" She blushes. "I like your voice. Not to high, not to low, just perfect for reading."

"You think so?" She nods. "Well then."

I take the book from her and open the first page. "Alright then ... Daring Do and her biggest adventure."

I feel her warm body on mine. She rests her head on my body, so she can read in silence for herself. I blush, but continue reading for her. "Chapter 1. An unexpected visitor. Daring comes back to home ..."

I readed chapter for chapter. She doesn't interrupted me the whole time. She was listening to me the whole time, until I finished the book. "I told you, your voice is perfect for reading."

"I normally not reading out loud. Thanks." She grins. "Next book!"

I take the second and last book, that we got from Rainbow and start to read it. I get lazy, when I'm reading long, but with her, snuggling me, I stay fresh and awake. This one wasn't so good as the other one, I readed with her before. But she still was listening to me, without saying anything. I finished it, then she gave me a kiss on my cheek. "Hihi."

"So, we still have about ... 35 minutes left. I guess, you going to your home now?" She looks into my eyes, her eyes totally saying *I don't want to leave*. "I wish, I could stay ..."

I give her a tight hug. "Me too ..."

"Well, I should ..." But she stopped her sentence. She looks again into my eyes. This time, I can't read out, what she is thinking now. "35 minutes left, hmm?"

"Y-yeah." She smirks. "Well, I tought the whole day about it."

"About what?" I look worried to her. "About ... you and me, Light. Can you ... give me one last thing? Before I leave?"

"Sure, what do you want?" I get more worried. "Specific fun with you ..."

"Uhm, what do you mea-?" I feel her lips on my lips. She isn't stopping.

I feel her tongue touching mine. I start to blush hard and accept her kissing, slowly starting to kiss her back. I never had so deep feelings before. At the moment, nothing was important, except her ... making her happy is the only thing, I want to do now. But then I push her back gently. "I-I can't to t-this, Sky ..."

"Why not? I thought, you love me?" I look nervous, blushing harder. "I do, but it's just ..."

"You never did that before? You are 23 already, Light. I didn't know ..." I blush harder. "It's okay, Sky, really ..."

"Well, then it's time for you." I look up in surprise. "What?"

"Everypony should do that in there lives, at least once. It's nothing, you have to be ashamed of. It's usual for us ponies, like walking and talking." She really want to do it with me!

"But I ..." She smiles seductive. "Just follow everything, I say, okay? You do that, what I want, got it?"

"Sky, are you sure?" She licks my cheek. "What should happen? Just do, what I say. I think your big friend is awake, hihi!"

I look down between my hind legs. My stallionhood is already erected. I blush so much, that my face look more red then brown right now.

"I ... I ..." Still sitting on the couch, she slowly starts to poke it. "Wow, be careful, it's sensitive right now."

"Never enjoyed your self?" I look surprised. "N-no, why? Should I?"

She starts to laugh, making me blush even harder. "Did I do something wrong?"

"No, don't worry, it's just funny, you never done it your self, hihi!" She touching it again. "Be happy, your one is bigger and harder then Thunder's."

"Really? Have you to talk about him now?" But she doesn't listen to me. She takes her tongue and start licking it. "Stop, it's so sensitive ... why do you lick it?"

"You really never did any kind of sex before. Just calm down and let me doing this. I don't bite." She continues licking. I close my eyes, trying to relax. My face feels like on fire. I feel her licking everywhere on my stallionhood. It feels strange, but at the same time, I enjoying it. She really knows, what she is doing.

I slowly calm down, my fear disappears.

Few minutes later it was just pure pleasure, I feel. I open my eyes a little bit, seeing Sky still licking it happily. But then she stops it, opening her muzzle wide open and start to take the head from it inside her muzzle. I never expected that mares can open there muzzles so wide. I still feeling her tongue on my stallionhood licking, but she uses her whole muzzle now to pleasure it, start to suck on it. It feels amazing.

I start to smile in pleasure, my tongue hanging out. I have no control anymore of my body. My body works for her right now. I feel her hot muzzle sucking my stallionhood. She did that for so long, that I can't say exactly, how many minutes already gone, since she started it. Then she pulls back from it, breathing for air and panting. "You ... like it ... right?"

I answer her with pleasured panting. "Next ... step ..."

She turns around and flicks her tail out of the way, so I can see her wet marehood, Her clitoris already excited. "R-ready? Put ... in ..."

"Sure?" She pants hard, juice from it already dropping to the ground. "Please ... just put ... it in me ... then push ... forward ... backward ... forward ... backward ... continue like that ... until ... you ... shot ... your semen ..." I slowly stand up, walking to her. I take a deep breath, before putting my hooves on her back, only standing on my hind legs now. Strange position, but I feel like to do that this way.

"And now just ... push it in you?" She nods. "Yes ..."

I start to try to push it in her upper hole. "What are you doing?! Not my anus, silly!"

"Ups, sorry!" Now corrected myself, I try to push it in her marehood slowly. "That's the right one ... like that, owwwww!!"

I stop directly. "Sorry, I didn't wanted to hurt you, Sky!"

"No, no, it's perfect!" I look surprised. "Sure?"

"Sure!" I push it deeper and deeper, so far as possible, in her, feeling all of her hot, wet marehood tightening around my stallionhood.

"P-perfect ... now ... fo ..." I stopped her. "Forward ... and ... backward ... got it ..."

I slowly start to push it forward and backward, again and again and again. With everytime, I do that, I feel more and more aroused then before. I thrust in her and my body tells me, that this is the right thing, I doing right now. We both panting and moaning a lot. With every buck, it feels more natural to me. Like I did that already for years. I slowly thrust faster. "Tha-hats ... my ... Li-hight!"

I continue to bump my body on her body. When I always heard about bucking, I thought, it was nothing special. But now I know, how it feels.

"Owwwwwwwww!!!!" I feel her marehood tighten hard on my stallionhood, making it more and more wet. "Did you pee on it?!"

"N-no, I c-came ..." I look nervous to her. "Is that good?"

"It's awesomely perfect! Thanky!" I smile, still confused. "So, I can continue?"

"Please!" I continue bucking her again. It is even easier now, because everything is now completly wet there. This bucking feels like hours. I never going to forget that day again. Forward, backward, forward, backward. I slowly feel pressure in my stallionhood. "I have an pressure in it ... good or bad?"

"Never learned that in school?" I shake my head. "No ..."

"It's very good, don't worry, continue." So I did. With every buck, the pressure in it goes harder and bigger. "I think ... I'm going ... to ... what ever you called it ..."

"To ... cum? Do .. it ... shot ... everything ... inside ... me-arrrrrrrrrrhhhhh!!!" I couldn't hold it anymore. I feel my dick, shooting load to load from my hot semen in her marehood. It feels like, I shoot everything, I got, in her. It's a wonder, nothing comes out from her marehood. I pull it out slowly, then cum from me drops out from her marehood, sliding down to the ground. It was more then she could handle ... or does she it on purpose?

I take a few steps away from her. "Bring me a towel, please."

I run up to the bathroom, feeling my stallionhood getting small and soft, after it emptied itself in her. I take a towel from me and run back to her. "Can you ... wish everything ... from my flank?"

I wish all the cum from her marehood and flank away, also the ones on my stallionhood. Then I go to the cum on the ground, that was too much for her, but she stopped me. "I clean that, Sweetie!"

She gives me a kiss and bend down in front of me, starting to lick it from the ground. "Are you sure to eat that?"

"It tastes good, you should taste-"

"No!" She chuckle and continues to lick the ground free from my seed. Then she use the towel to clean her muzzle. "That was wonderful, Light. You are wonderful. I will never forget that. You are way better then Thunder ... in EVERYTHING!"

I smile to her and give her a kiss on her nose. "I should thank you to give me my first time. I learned a lot today."

"Hihi, thanky!" Again.

"What is this thanky?" She chuckles. "Thank you! I just take the y from you and put it at the end from thank. Thanky!"

"You are really creative, Sky. Well we have ... oh oh!" She looks confused to me. "What is it, Light?"

"You should go now ... no time left." She looks to the clock, her eyes widen. "What? Oh no, I missed the train!"

"When does the next train coming?" She thinks for a moment. "30 minutes, I'm so sorry, Light, I have to leave now. It was a wonderful day with you! The restaurant, the reading, the sex. Thank you for everything, Light. I needed only today, to know, that you are a wonderful stallion. I wi-will miss you. I w-will coming back one day. I promise you! And I never break promises!"

She gives me a tight hug and starts to cry. I hugs her tight back, starting to cry too. We cried together for 5 minutes, before she stops the hug. "Thanky for everything. I know, we will see again ... Good bye, special somepony Light!"

Still sobbing loud, she runs out from my house. I slowly sit back down on my couch, thinking about, how beautiful she is. I will never find somepony like her again.

I close my eyes, starting to sob alone in my house. No ... I have to see her again ... one last time.

Not looking to the clock, I run out to her house. The door stands open. "Sky?! SKY?! How late is it?!"

I run out from her house, directly to the train station. "SKY?!"

I run to the counter. "Where is the train to Fillydelphia?!"

"There. You are to late, Sir." I turn around to see the train, that is already far away, right now disappearing in the horizon. "B-bye, Sky ... we will see again ..."

I slowly walk back to my house. My mind only thinking about her. Why? Why from everypony here, she had to leave?

I take the two books we readed and bring them back to the library. "Here, Twilight, the books."

"Only two?" I nod, rubbing my eyes. "Yeah, all other books are still by Rainbow Dash."

"Hey, what is wrong?" I wishing my eyes clean. "I and her had the best day ever. I make her happy in every way. But she had to go, back to Fillydelphia."

"I heard about that, she was the lover from Lightning Thunder, right?" I glare to her. "No, she was forced to love him. Because of her parents ..."

"Wait, her parents?" I look surprised. "Uhm, yeah."

"She never got the mail?" Huh?

"What mail?" Twilight sighs. "Her parents died already 3 years ago. The house they lived in burned down."

"But she ..." Twilight's eyes widening. "Somepony tricked her!"

"But who?" Twilight frowns. "I don't know. But whoever she is going to meet in Fillydelphia ... it is definitly not her mother or father!"

"Darn it! Thunder! That bucking dirty pony!" Twilight looks surprised. "You think, it is Thunder?"

"He used her the whole bucking time!" I feel a hoof on my back. "I use what the whole time?"

I turn around to see Thunder standing in front of me. "Thunder you bucking flank!"

I use the surprise to jump on him, pushing him to the ground. I start punching on his face for minutes until Twilight stopped me with her magic. "STOP THAT! Right now, Light!"

"Let me go! He deserve that!" Twilight pulls me away from him. "You going to kill him! I can't let that happen! Calm down!"

It takes a few minutes, captured inside her magic, before I start to calm down. "Sorry, Twilight ..."

"You should bring him to the hospital. He is not moving anymore. You are lucky, that he is still alive, you have already enough stress now."

"But he deserved that!" I start again to punch his face, until something knocks me out ...

Chapter 3: Find Sky!

"Where ... where am I?" I open my eyes slowly, my view is blurred. "You can tell us, why the hay you nearly killed Thunder!"

I wince, trying to recognize the voice. Was that... Spitfire?

"Exactly. Light Runner, why did you do such a thing like that?" Wha-?! Princess Celestia?!

"Hey, talk!" My blurred vision slowly clears, able to see more and more again. I was right. In front of me was a long table with Celestia, Spitfire and Twilight sitting at it. "W-why I am here?"

"You nearly killed one of our best Wonderbolt, Lightning Thunder!" I get the feeling, she wants to rip of my head.

"Calm down, Spitfire." Wait ... I'm in an ...

"Light Runner, explain please. Now." Celestia watch to me, looking calm, but not happy. "What should I explain? That he deserved that? Well, he did deserve that!"

"And why? From what Twilight told me, he came into the library and you started punching him. She had to knock you out, to stop you." I glare at her. "Why? Because he treated Sky Love like horse apples! He only used her to buck her and when she went against him only one time, he slapped her! And because she wants to be together with me and not with him, she has to go back to her parents - but her parents are already dead, so somepony tricked her the whole time! And that pony was Thunder!"

"Do you have proof that he was doing all that?" I stopped, before talking again. "For the part with Sky, yes, I saw it myself. He knocked me out and brought me to the hospital. For the part with her parents ... Twilight told me that they're already dead, but I don't know if Thunder has anything to do with that ..."

"So you nearly killed him, just because you thought he has something to do with Sky's deceased parents?" Now where she said it like that, I really overreacted ...

"I was just angry ... I'm sorry." I look down. "Light, right? You've been lucky that Thunder told me in the hospital, that you can leave. Be thankful for that, because normally you would see the prison from the inside now. Afterall you nearly killed somepony."

Spitfire glares, rather looking disappointed to let me go. "I have nothing to thank for. Can I go now, or do you have any more questions? Because I have to find a specific mare for me ..."

"Well, like Spitfire already mentioned, Thunder allowed you to go ... so since we can't hold you here, you can leave now. But if something like this ever happens again, then you will go to prison. That's for sure." I sigh. "Thanks."

I try to stand up, but I can't move myself. "Twilight, let him go."

"Are you sure, princess?" She nods. "Thunder allowed him to go, so we have to accept his decision. It was also his first rule breaking. So long as he doesn't try to kill anypony again, he can continue, whatever he want to do."

"Fine..." Twilight stops using her magic, so I can finally move again.

"Thanky, Twilight." I walk out from the building, only to see Trotting standing outside of it. He then notices me. "There you are! Today is Wednesday, have you already forgotten?"

"Forgotten ... oh, I'm really sorry, I was ..." He rolls his eyes. "I know. Everypony is talking about your fight with Thunder. I hope this won't have to happen again, Light ..."

"I just overreacted, don't worry, it's not going to happen ever again ... and I'm also sorry for not working today. Did you managed to get Derpy for me today?" He shakes his head. "She is still sick, so I had to do it all by my own."

"I'm really sorry, I ..." He puts his hoof on my muzzle. "Well, come tomorrow for Derpy and then we are quit, okay?"

"Yep, thanky." He raises an eyebrow. "Thanky?"

"Thank and you mixed together, Sky created it." Sky! Who knows who she's meeting in Fillydelphia!

"I've got to go, now! When starts the next train to Fillydelphia?!" He looks surprised by my sudden reaction. "Fillydelphia? I think in ... 3 minutes."

He looks to me slightly confused. "THANKY!"

I then start to run as my life would end, if I don't get the train. 2 minutes left ... 1 minute left ... 30 seconds ...

"One ticket to Fillydelphia, please!" He looks up to me. "That will be two bits then."

"Oh no, I forget the money." I sigh, looking down. Darn it!

"Here, let me help you out." A cyan blue stallion suddenly comes up to us and gives two bits to the conductor. "Here is the ticket."

"Thanky, and thanks to you ... uhm ..." He smiles and nods. "Rising Shine. No problem, now go!"

"Uhm ... oh yeah, see ya Rising!" I jump into the train just in time. Shortly after, the train starts moving. "That was close, Sir. Do you have a ticket?"

"Here." I give him my train ticket. He checks it and then gives it back to me. "Alright, have a nice ride."

"Thanky." I sit down on a couch by the window and look outside. But there's nothing special.

After a few hours, the train finally reaches his end station: Fillydelphia.

"Fillydelphia! End station!" I walk out of the train, looking around. Now it is time to find Sky Love ... in a big city with hundreds of ponies ... without myself knowing where she could be. Where should I go first?

Then I got an idea: The burned house from her family! But I don't know where the house is ...

"Hey there. Are you looking for something special?" A mare walks to me. "Actually, yes. I'm new here and I'm looking for Sky Love's parents house."

"Sky Love? I've never heard of this pony." I sigh. "Okay, then ... Do you know, if there's a burned house here though?"

"Burned house ... burned house ... yes. Follow the street over there until you coming to the end of it. Then you should be able to see the house." I squee. "Thanky, Miss!"

I run towards the street and follow it until the end. I then look to my left, but everything is fine. Then I look to my right and see it on the right side. A house ... or at least, what is left from it, which isn't really much. I walk to it, hopefully to find Sky Love ... I take a look all around, but there is nothing. No Sky ...

"Where is she? Huh? What is that?" I look to something on the ground. A letter is lying in front of the house, but it was definitely not there a moment ago. Magic?

I pick up the letter and begin to read it.

"Hello Light. We know that you are looking for Sky Love, but we have captured her. Come to Saddlebag Road 11 as soon as you can, or we are going to kill her."

WHAT?! Thunder, you son of a gryphon! I swear, when he even touches her ... I had to get to Saddlebag Road.

I look around and find a mare walking nearby. "Hey, you there! Yes, you. Do you know where Saddlebag Road 11 is?"

"Saddlebag Road? Uh ... it's the street you are standing on right now. There is the building, don't you see it?" She points to it. "Oh, sorry. New here, hehe."

"No problem." She chuckles and walks away. I walk to the house, and notice the golden 11 on it. I knock on the house door. "Let me in, Thunder!"

The door opens with magic then. I walk in, ready to fight him again, but then the door suddenly closes behind me per magic. "What the-?!"

Then something hits me on my head ...

I don't know how long exactly I was out. I slowly open my eyes and find myself in a little room. I'm lying on a bed, which I'm tied on with ropes on all my 4 hooves. "What the ... let me go!"

"You won't be going anywhere, my friend." I realize that another pony is here. A unicorn mare that I've never saw before. "Who are you? Where is Sky Love?!"

"Don't worry, your dirty mare is fine. See?" She walks to the left to let me see what is behind her. Sky is unconscious, just lying on the ground. "What have you done with her?"

"I just made her sleep with my magic. That's all." I look confused. "What do you want from her?"

"Nothing. She is useless! We only needed her, because we knew that you would follow her. This was all planned by Lightning Thunder. He burned down the house three years ago, and sended Sky fake letters, saying that she should meet him and then marry him. Sky's parents have always controlled her, so she accepted it, even when she found out soon that she hated Thunder. However, Thunder needed somepony to share his love with, so he used the chance to buck her very often ... very, very often. Even when he found out that she hated him, he still liked to buck her ..." I struggling hard. "Stop it! I don't want to hear that!"

"Poor little Light. There were so many years that Sky got tricked by him. Fearing too much, she never told anypony that she hated him. Soon we found out, that she was friends with another pony ... you. Thunder mentioned, that something on you is ... different. Something that makes you different from anypony else. But he couldn't explain why exactly. To test something, I told him, that he has to bring blood from you. How he does it, was his own thing. That happened then on Monday, where you and Sky nearly fell in love for each other. He beated you until you bleeded, and then took some of your blood. He then brought you to the hospital, afterall, if we think what we think, then you are very important. We tested your blood then, Light. And that's when we finally found the pony, that we were looking for. That you and Sky then fell in love, actually made the plan perfect, because then, Thunder could easily send her a letter to come back to Fillydelphia. Thunder hided everything that could show the truth about her parents, so she didn't knew that her parents are already dead for years. And once again, we knew that you would somehow follow her sooner or later." I look in shock, trying to get everything she said. "You used her all the time?"

"Well, first it was only Thunder's lust for her. No real plan or something, just his own need. It happened only a short while ago, when he mentioned, that there was something different about you." I look up to her. "Then why do you need me?"

"I've already told you more than enough. I won't say anything more then what I just did. You're going to do anything we say, okay? So ... Oh, Thunder is coming." The door opens and Thunder walks in, looking happy. "So, he really followed her? Ah, that's cute."

"Thunder! You ..." He chuckles cheerfully. "Poor little Light. I have a gift for you."

"I don't need any gifts from you ..." He grins evily. "Really? Well, my sweet Sky here is pregnant, isn't that awesome?"

"What!?" I look shocked. No, please, not from him ...

"I tested it last week. Didn't told her. Yep, she has already been pregnant for a month now." I feel waves of anger going trough my body. "No ... why from you, you son of a gryphon!"

"Son of a gryphon, right? How do you know?" Wait, what?!

"Huh?" He looks now rather seriously to me. "My father was a gryphon. My mother was a pegasus. The only real difference on myself are my wings. They looking a bit more like those from gryphons then from a pegasus. Really, I hate my family. Everypony finds me strange, because my father was a gryphon. But Sky got pregnant by me now ... nopony can stop that ... or? I never wanted for her to get pregnant, but maybe I bucked her too often. Well, at least our foal has two ponies as parents ... not like me. Look at her, Light. She is smiling, she is thinking about me. Because she knows deep inside of herself that she loves me. More than she could ever love you."

"No! She loves me, not you! You used her!" He chuckles. "True ... she was useful for sharing love. But now she is a useless piece of-"

"She is NOT useless! Your foal doesn't deserve a father like you!" Slap! Thunder slaps me very hard on my belly. It hurts a lot. "I'll make a better father than anypony else! She will be mine forever. Goodbye, Light."

Thunder then takes Sky on his back and walks out of the room. The unicorn mare turns her attention back to me. "So they are going to live happily ever after. I love happy endings! Sky will wake up soon, and he will tell her that she became pregnant by him. Hehe, her life is going to be destroyed by hearing that."

"Sky ..." She puts a hoof on my belly, rubbing it slowly. "You can't do anything, little Light. We need you afterall."

"I won't do anything for you!" She raises an eyebrow. "Really?"

I spit in her face. Slap! Again I was slapped, this time by the mare. "That's too bad, we need you!"

"Are you working alone?" She shakes her head. "No, but I can't tell you who our master is, or who else works for us."

"I swear, when I find a way to escape, I'm going to find a way to kill you all." She chuckles. "Really? You're going to kill all of us, because of that stupid mare? Poor Light, you really do love her. I could have so much fun with you right now, and you could not do anything about that. It's too bad that I prefer mares. You look really handsome afterall. I can understand now, why she likes you. Well, the night with her uncouncious body was already enough."

She smirks. "Wait, you dirty ...!"

"Hahaha ... It's already 11 PM ... you should rest now, Light. Thunder will bring her back to Ponyville, telling everypony that you tried to kill him again ... he will likely hurt Sky while she is sleeping. And then he'll tell her that it was all you. And that he saved her. Everypony will think that you are the bad pony. So don't even try to escape. Anyway, 'night, Light ... haha, night and Light, haha ..." I struggle. "Darn it!"

I have to escape before he can tell this lie!

I try to escape from the ropes, but they are much too tight on my hooves. I try my hardest to free my hooves from the ropes. It hurts a lot, every movement. They are tied on the bed. I slowly try to pull my front hooves out. It still hurts like fire, and the ropes are really cutting my skin and flesh on my hooves, more and more, but I have to do this. Warning everypony ... rescue Sky ...

"Come on ..." More and more. More hurting. Blood slowly leaks from my cutted skin. But ...I ...have ...to ... yes! My hooves are free!

I use my hurted hooves to free myself from the other ropes, and then I start to run out of the room. Nopony seems to be inside the building, so I easily escaped from it. My hooves burn when I run fast, but for Sky, and the adrenaline rushing trough my body, I would even die for her. I run as fast as I can to the train station. And then I see him ... Thunder with Sky on his back. He's already standing on the platform, waiting for the next train to Ponyville. This flankhole never will reach Ponyville alive!

"THUNDEEEEER!" I've already hit him hard by the time he hears me. The swing from my hooves hitting him hard and throws us all on the railway track. "You are dead, Light!"

Nope.

I've already jumped on him and start smashing his dirty pegasus face. My hooves are still hurting and burning, but that doesn't matter to me anymore. I continue punching him, and I see his muzzle already leaking blood. But I don't stop ... nopony can stop me now. Even if I end up in prison or dungeon forever, he will not survive today. Not after all that he has done, especially to Sky Love!

"Die ... you ... motherbucker!" I feel all his blood on my hooves. But that doesn't stop me. I see tears rolling from his eyes, crying in pain. He's finally fearing me.

And that makes me even more happy, while I still punch his life out of him. I feel pleasure to see him dying but ... also something else inside me ... something strange. I shake my head and going to continue, but then I hear a noise in the distance ... a loud noise. The same noise that is heard, when a train is coming very close ... and we are still in the railway tra-

...

Chapter 4: Welcome to a new dimension

"Thank god, you're finally moving!"

I hear a voice, but can't tell, who or from where it comes. Wait, I've never heard that voice before ...

"W-where am I?" My head hurts ...

"You're safe in my home. Don't worry." What happened ...

"What day is today?" I try to move but fail miserably. "It's Thursday. You were knocked out for an entire week."

Wait ... knocked out?

"For a whole ... week?" I try to open my eyes, everything is blurry. "Yes. I found you in the forest nearby. You should eat and drink something."

"Good idea ..." I slowly see everything clear. "What the hay?!"

Everything looks so strange here. I look slowly to the stallion, who was talking to me ... what is that?!

"W-what are you?! Stay away from me!" I scream in surprise, clearly scared. "Calm down, I'm not your enemy. I repeat, I'm NOT your enemy. I saved you last Thursday. You can be happy that I found you out there. Please calm down ..."

He or she, or whatever that monster is, doesn't seem too dangerous.

I slowly start to calm down. "You're not going to hurt me?"

"No. I cared for the injuries on your hooves. Cleaned the blood from your fur too. What the fuck happened to you?" Blood ... now I remember. It was close to midnight, on a Wednesday ... Thunder and I at the train station ... I punched Thunder on the railway track, before I heard a loud noise ... a train ... How did I survive? Wait, he said he found me at the forest. There is no forest near that train station ...

"Where ... where is Thunder?" I look to *it*. "Thunder? Who are you talking about?"

"Was I alone?" *It* nods. "Yes. I know that you're surprised now. After all, you would normally not exist here."

What? This is just getting more and more confusing.

"Wait ... not exist here ... do you mean, that I'm in a completely different world?" *It* rubs his head. "Actually, maybe even in a completely different dimension."

"That must be the reason, why everything here looks so ... strange." I say to myself. "Hey, don't worry ... uhm ..."

"Light. Light Runner is my name. And you are?" *It* smiles a little. "Alex."

Strange name. What does an Alex mean?

"Hey, don't worry, Light." Nevermind that thing, I need to go back!

"Alex, I have to go back to Equestria! I need to stop some crazy ponies ... I need to save Sky Love!" *It* looks confused. "Sky Love? Another pony?"

"Yes. The best pony in all of Equestria. I have to go back. Can you help me?" Say yes, say yes, say yes ...

"Unfortunately, I don't even know how you got here at all. Feels like some FanFic right now. But of course I will try my best to help you. I have to go now though. I need to get to work." These things go to work too?

"Can I come with you?" Alex shakes his head. "Most people would be scared of a cartoon pony, so it's not a good idea. You'd better stay here, because here you are safe. I really have to go now, please stay. I'll answer every question when I come back, okay?"

"S-sure." Alex smiles. "There's food and something to drink on the table. That should be enough before I come back. See you later, Light ... and please ... trust me, stay here. You can look outside the window, but don't go out of the house."

I don't know why, but I have the feeling, that I can trust Alex. Alex sounds also male to me. I guess Alex is a he for now.

He leaves the room then. I notice a window behind me. I slowly standing up and look outside of the window. I see him walking to an big object. Is that something like a carriage?

He opens a door from it and walks inside the carriage-thing. He closes the door then, and then that thing start to move backwards. It moves ... by its own!

"What is that? Is there magic ... too?" If I get back to Equestria, I should tell Twilight about that thing. A magical carriage-thing. I'll ask Alex later what it is called here.

I turn back to the food that he putted on a table. There are a few apples, some salad, and water to drink. At least they eat the same things that we do. And speaking the same language. And there's a bed, and a table ... there are differences here, but they also have the same things as we have.

I take one of the apples and start to bite in it. It tastes fine, but I like the apples from Equestria more.

I drink some of the water and look back to his bed. Then I look to the door. "Well, I should start looking around here. Maybe I'll find a way back."

I slowly start to walk. It feels weird, which is probably, because I was knocked out for a whole week. I take a look around. A few things here are like they would be in Equestria. Other things are new, things that I've never saw before. I walk out of the room. There's a corridor with some pictures hanging on the walls. I notice Alex with other things that look like the same species. They all look like they're walking with their hind legs. They also have claws, but not sharp ones like dragons. No hooves either. I walk into the next room. "This looks like the bathroom."

There is a toilet, a bathtub, some towels. There are a few unknown things, too. Like that magazine here ... something with *Play* stands on the top. A roll of toilet paper. A trash can. I leave the bathroom and walk to the last room on the floor. A small room. Only magazines lie in here. "Does that thing have an obsession for magazines and books. Mayby he is like Princess Twilight?"

I see the stairs and go downstairs. More rooms. The first room looks like a kitchen. But like in every other room, there are a few things that I've never have seen before. The other rooms just look strange to me. A house with so much strange stuff that I never knew existed before. In one room, there was a magical machine, that reminds me of a cinema ... just for your home. What magic is that?

Well, that was all the rooms in Alex' house, and it only took me 30 minutes to go through them. Now I'm bored, and I don't know when he'll comes back.

So I just sit down on the couch, watching the movies for hours. I often hear a laughing, is there some kind of comedy or something like that?

"How late is it now?" I look to a clock on the wall. It shows that it is 2 PM already. "Wow, I watched those things for that long?"

I walk back to his bed. I lie down on it, waiting for Alex to come back finally. I try to remember if there was something else that happened, before the train came and I ... disappeared. But I can't remember anything special. After thinking for a long time, I hear somepony coming. Alex finally walks inside. "There you are. Thanks for not running away."

"Uhm ... why are you not scared of me?" He chuckles. "Why should I be scared of you?"

"Because I'm a complete different species?" He nods. "Sure you are."

"So why you are not afraid from me?" He rubs his head unsure. "I kinda know about your species. There is a ... TV show about your world ... Equestria."

"What is a TV show?" I look confused. "If you may looked around my house, you might have seen it already. I forgot to turn the TV off before I left for work this morning."

"Do you mean the magical thing, that plays movies?" He looks. "Magical thing? ... Oh, I understand. Yeah, that's a TV. TV stands for television."

"Never heard about that." He smiles to me. "I guessed that already. Just to ask ... do you have ponies in your world, that are called by the names Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, Flutt-"

"The elements of harmony? Of course, everypony knows them. They've saved us more then once!" He smiles more. "And Twilight is a princess, right?"

"Yep." He sighs happily. "Well, I guess then, that everything that happened in the show has really happened in your world."

"So your species is spying on us?" He frowns a little. "I don't think so, but it is amazing, that the show and reality are so close."

"So you know all about us from ... that show?" He nods. "Yep ... that's why I was actually more excited than scared when I found you, haha."

"Thanky for saving me. I think I can really trust you." I smile a little back. "Of course you can ... wait, my cell phone is ringing."

All of a sudden, I hear music and Alex pulls out a strange thing. He puts it on his ear ... at least, I think that it's his ear.

"Hello? Oh, hello, Mister Mason. Yeah, I don't know where Jack was today. Maybe he was sick. No, I didn't meet him since Wednesday. Yes, I tried to contact him, but he didn't answered the call ... I'll try it tomorrow again. Yes, goodbye." I look confused again. "What is that thing?"

"My cell phone? You can talk with everyone who has one, anywhere in the world." I look surprised. "All these things you have ... what kind of magic makes them work?"

"Huh? Oh no, we don't have magic here. We use electricity." What?!

"You use lightnings to-" But he stops me mid-sentence. "No. Not lightnings. Electricity. Well, to make it more understandable for you, it's kind of like the magic you use for a few things ... just with the difference that it is not magic - it's natural."

"Sounds strange. But it looks like it works. What do you call your carriage?" He looks confused. "Carriage? Oh, I understand, we call it a car."

"You have a lot of strange words." I notice his eyes rolling. "Well, I guess you and I speaking with a different English."

"What the hay is English? Do you mean Equestrian?" He sighs. "I ... never mind. So, have you found an idea for how you can get back?"

"To Equestria? No, unfortunately not ..." He nods. "Well, you can stay with me until we find a way for you, okay?"

"That would be great ... uhm, can I use the toilet?" He chuckles. "Sure."

I walk to the bathroom, and sit down on the toilet. After I finished my *work*, I walk back to Alex. "Just out of curiosity, how do you ... uhm ... go to the toilet, when you don't have anything there?" He seems rather interested on my private part, hm?

"Oh no, we have something there. Do you ... have the same things?" Blushing, I lift my left hind hoof to show him my private part. How couldn't he noticed it, if he cared for me so long?

"I guess so, but we wear clothes to hide it. Why do some ponies wear clothes?" I shrug. "It's just so they look better. We don't hide our private parts. By the way, if I'm really gone for one week, and time passes in the same way ... the other ponies are probably going to start to worry where I am."

"Yeah, but so long as we don't know how to take you back there, we can't do anything. And you can't go out of the house, everybody would-" I look again confused. "Everybody? What is everybody?"

"I guess in your language, that's the word for everypony." I understand.

"Ah, make sense, haha." I chuckle a little. "Yeah, but you still can't go out."

"Why? I'm not going to hurt anypony." He nods. "I know, but they could hurt you. You are from a species that doesn't exist in our world ... they would try to catch you, preform experiments on you ... I don't know. Just promise me that you're not going to leave, so long as I don't allow it, okay?"

"I promise." I salute to show him that I mean it. We keept talking for a long time. He talked about this world, and I talked about my world. I now understand more about some things here and he ... yes, Alex is a he ... knows more about us now. "I hope Sky Love is okay, Light."

"Yes, I hope so too. I think it's getting late, we should sleep now." I stand up. "You can sleep on my bed. It's big enough for both of us."

"If you don't have a problem with it, then sure." Alex takes some of his clothes off, but not all of them. Then he lies down on his bed and I lie myself down next to him. "Uhm ... what is touching my back?"

"My hoof." He sighs happily. "Good."

"My fifth hoof." I hear a gulp from him. "Just kidding, haha!"

"Good night, Light ..." I closing my eyes. "Night, Alex."

At least I can sleep normally and don't get knocked out this time.

Chapter 5: Outside

Sniff, sniff ... sniff, sniff. I smell something ... tasty.

I open my eyes and notice, that Alex isn't here. "Alex?!"

"Downstairs, in the kitchen!" I stand up from the bed and walk downstairs to Alex. "Morning, Alex."

"Hey, Light."

We already live like we were a family.

"Can we do something together today? When I have to stay here alone already, then ..." He shakes his head. "Sorry, I said, I'm sick. But only too find out, where Jack is."

"Your friend you told about yesterday?" He nods. "Yes. Have to go now, sorry, Light. I made some toast for you, see ya!"

"But wait! I want too see your world outside this house ... is there really no way?" He sighs. "I know you want to. But ... you are too big for an dog in costume. Also you look to cartoon like. I'm sorry, Light."

"Urgh, beeing a stranger in a dangerous world is unfair. Okay, fine, I will find something ... any books here? I mean books, not your magazines." He nods. "Well ... yeah, there are a few, you see?"

"I can see them ... well bye, see ya later then." He sighs. "I'm really sorry ..."

Alex give me the toast he made and leave the house then. Again waiting.

I take one of the books from the bookshelves. It's a fantasy story. I start to reading it. While I read, I eat the toast, Alex made for me. I need only a few hours for finishing the book. "And bored again."

I look out the kitchen window, seeing the garden. "Well, the garden is a part from the house, right?"

I walk to the back door, to enter the garden. It's the first time, I'm outside here. The grass feels wonderful. I lie down on the grass, the sun shining on me. I feel alive. "I should stop, taking those ..."

Huh?

I look to my side, seeing another human behind a fence. "Hey there, brown stallion, hehe ..."

BUCK! Alex warned me, but I didn't listen!

I run fast back home and close the door. "Darn it!"

I slide under the kitchen table to hide myself.. "Calm down, Light ... you a very fast, you run so often, they never going to catch you ... not alive."

I peek out from under the table. If the door goes open and it is NOT Alex, I run for my life ...

But even after hours, nothing happened. "Mayby I overreacted ..."

I start to calm down, when I hear a ring by the house door. Are they coming?

I get nervous again, ready to run, but nothing happened. I walk to the window nearby and see, that somepony ... well, not really pony ... with an packagae walks back to his car. Mayby just a delivery. I could do that by my own, without a car, hehe. And still, Alex is not here ... I didn't got the though yesterday but today ... what ... what, if something happened? He saved me, I owe him ... I have to find him, no matter, if I get spotted!

"Alright ... I should sneak."

The sun starts already to go down. I open slowly the main door. Nopony seems to be here.

"He said, he found me in a forest nearby. So, here must be a forest. Mayby I should start there." I sneak out, close the door and jump behind a bush. On the opposite of the road is a entrance to the forest. I look around, but the luck is on my side. I run fast to the entrance of the forest. "Welcome to the forest. I should be lucky, that this isn't the Everfree Forest here."

I walk through the forest. With every step I take, it's getting darker and darker. The sun also is nearly disappeared. "Alex? Alex?! ALEX!"

But nopony answers my call. "Mayby, he is back home already and wondering where I am? I should had just waited there ..."

I try to walk back from where I entered the forest ... and lost myself in it. "Great job, Light. It's dark, you are all alone in a forest and you have absolutely no idea, where you come from ... AAAAALEEEEXXXX!!!!"

I try to point one way ... I have to come out somewhere sooner or later.

But then I stop ... my ear flicks, I heard something ... rustle from a bush nearby. "Alex?"

"RRRRRRRRRAWRRR!!"

Timberwolve! Wait, no, they look like a wild dog or something. Where is Fluttershy, when you could need her ability?

"Fine animal ... fiiiine ... I'm not tasty food ... I'm your friend ..." The animal comes closer and closer. "Please ... go back ..."

And closer. "Oh come on!"

I start to run in one direction, feeling the animal close behind me. Now I hate myself for leaving the house.

I run and run and run. When I turn around to look behind me, I see, that the animal still hunting me, but not so close anymore as before. I look back to the front and see light. "A way out?"

I run ... and come back on the street ... home. I stop and turn around. I look back but the animal is gone now. I run to Alex' house, happily, that here is nopony else. I knock on the door hard. "Alex, let me in!"

Alex opens the door and drags me in. He bangs the door closed and looks angry to me. "Where the hell did you go?!"

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry!" He put his hand on his face. "What did you think? Did som-"

"I thought, that something might happened with you and wanted to find you. I walked to the forest, where you said, you found me, looking for you. But I got lost and a timberwolve-like animal hunted me. I'm happy to be back." He smiles a little. "Hey, Light, I'm fine. Did someone saw you?"

"No ... wait, yes, your left neighbour." He raises an eyebrow. "Don't worry, he pushing himself with so many drugs, it's a wonder, he is still breathing. He probably thought, you are an hallucination."

"So nopony come to catch me?" He shakes his head. "I don't think so. Didn't know that you can have fear."

"I can, but it's just happen sometimes. And did you find your friend?" He nods. "Yes, Jack is alright. Something bad happened, but he is okay. And, I think, his brother appeared to. After leaving the hospital, I helped him to bring his delivery to his new home."

"Delivery ... I think, there was a delivery for you." He chuckles. "Oh, must be my new MLP stuff. Well I can get them tomorrow. I'm happy, you are okay."

"Me too. Thank you for caring for me in this new world, Alex." It sounds strange but ... I give him a hug. I just feel like to do that. "Wow ... feels comfortable. Thank you Light."

"No problem, Alex." He pats my back. "It's late, better get some sleep now."

"Good idea." We walk back to his bed. I lie down on the bed and before Alex was even climbed on it, I already fell asleep.

Chapter 6: A Saturday with surprises

I wake up, seeing that Alex is already out from the bed. "I going to visit my friend today. Don't worry, I come back. Don't run away again, okay?"

"Of course not." I think, it's the best to take some more sleep.

It feeled like few minutes, when somepony shakes me hard. I open my eyes to see the clock. It is already about a hour ago, since I went back to sleep again. "Hey, what is it?"

"Have you to do with this?!" I wince by the way he said it, looking up to him. "To do with what?"

"Oh nothing, my friend just learned to fly by himself and then fell from very high and smashed on the ground. Not a pretty look with all the blood ..." I gasp in shock, but also confused at the same time. "What?!"

"And humans can not fly! So do you know anything about that?!" I shake my head hard as possible. "No! I don't know, how that could even happen. I'm really sorry for your friend Jack, really ..."

"It's still strange ... well. Looks like, we have a day for us now ..." Right then it knocks on the door. "Who could that be?"

"I don't know, Light. Hide under my bed, now." I look worried, crawling under it as he told me to do. "Okay, Alex."

I still can hear everything from here. I hear the door opening. "Hello. Alex, right? We heard, that you are a friend from Jack, the men, who died not long ago under mysterious circumstances."

"Uhm, yeah, that's me, why?" Doesn't sound like they know each other ...

"We are from an organisation about mystery accidents. MAO. This area is already a bit longer under the *possible danger* area. We have strange signs here since last thursday, in the forest nearby. Also in this house here. Now, Jack died unnaturally and you was there, when this happened. We think, that you or something in your house is an alien." Why do I get the feeling, the *alien* is a brown pony named Light Runner?

"Aliens? Oh, is that a joke or something? Didn't know, that we have already the first april ..." I hear something hitting the door or anything else hard. "This is NO joke. Ryan, scan him."

I hear only a strange noise, before they start talking again. "Few traces from an alien, sir. But he isn't the one."

"Okay, Alex, can we go in your house to look around?" Oh-oh ...

"No. Why?" Keep them away ...

"Too look, if we find the alien here." I'm not an alien ...

"I should known the best, if an alien is in my house, right?" Exactly, just a pastelcolored, undangerous pony here.

"Right, but we can never-"

"I ... said ... no!" Again smashing on something hard. "Then it is an order now!"

"What?"

"Check the bedroom fi-"

"No! I think, there is something going on in the kitchen to be honest ... Look there first, okay?"

"Hmmm ... well, if you mean, we go to the kitchen first." I hear again noises of steps. Then the door goes open. I wince under the bed, before noticing, that it is Alex. "Light? Jump out of the window, wait by my car quietly. We have to leave, we are not save here anymore. I opened the car, climb in."

"O-okay, Alex." Alex walks out of the room, while I went to the window and jump down as quietly as possible. It wasn't that high luckily. I land safely and sneak to the car. Alex comes to me, open the door for me and we climb both inside the car, he on the front. I'm on the backside, hiding myself. He closes the door and starts to move backwards with his car. "I told them, I have to buy something. They don't know, that I never come back."

"What do you mean with *Never come back*?" He rolls his eyes. "They are to close to find out about you. We have to find a way for you to go back to Equestria, Light. As fast as possible."

"But what is with you? When they find out, that you helped me?" He sighs. "Well, I somehow can come with you then or I get probably killed by trying to help you. You told me about your situation there. I think you have a more important life there then me here. Also, even when I got friends and became the coolest guy at work, I still feel lonely ... Jack ... and you ... helped me feel better. But now, that Jack died and you have sooner or later go back to Equestria ..."

"Sorry ..." I wince, when Alex makes the car faster. "FUCK! THEY FOLLOW US! Stay down, Light!"

I lower my head. I hear loud noises, like, they shoot something against us. "What do they do?!"

"Shooting at us!" I keep my head low. "Is that dangerous?"

"If this isn't just something to knock us out, then YES!" I stay low, holding my hooves over my head. Normally, I would run fast away, but inside here, I can't run. And I wont leave him alone. "Hold on tight, this is going to be fucked up!"

I hold on tight on the front seat as good as I can. I feel the car getting faster ... strange feeling, when you get faster without doing anything for it. Then I hear Alex voice again. "Sirens? Damn, they sending cops too now?! Well, this is going to be harder then I hoped, let's drive to the bridge!"

"Can I sit next to you? When I don't have to hide anyway anymore." He nods to the free seat. "I think, that's really no problem anymore!"

I climb to the seat next to him, sitting down and use this thing, he use, to be safer. "For what is that?"

"That saves your life in the best case scenario, if I make an crash. That probably happens sooner or later!" I make it tight and look to the front. We really drive fast!

"We have to get away. Curve to left!" He drives the car to the street left from us. He follows the street, the other cars still following us. It continues like that for 10 minutes, when we reach the bridge finally. The hunting cars coming closer. "They coming darn close, Alex! Faster!"

"I can't drive faster!" BUMP! One of the cars bumped into our car. Alex has no control anymore. The car crashes on the bridge side, then it flips over. We only can watch, how we in the car, fall from high above into the river ...

I open my eyes slowly, my head hurting hard. I notice, that I'm still in the car. Looks like, I don't have heavy injuries. I look to Alex. He seems really hurted, but I hear him breathing. "A-Alex? You alright?"

Thank Celestia, he open his eyes.

"I-I'm fine ... where are we?" I look out the car window. "Still in the car ... it's dark around us."

"You are right, but why? Is it ...?" We see a fish swarm swimming outside from the car. "Oh oh ..."

"What?" I look nervous to him. "It's dark, because we are under water."

"Wait, we are inside the water?" He nods. "Windows are broken a little."

We look closely to the cracks on the window. I look close to one of the cracks. Water drips slowly through it. Then the cracks getting larger. "The windows are going to break completly. Open the door, but hold tight, there will come a lot of water. Hold your breath, can you swim?"

"Yes!" He nods. "Okay, ready?!"

"Ready!" I hold tight on the place, pressing the handle and press against the door as hard as possible. Lot of pressure, but right at the moment, the door moves a bit open. Water shoots inside the car. The pressure hits me harder then I thought. I get smashed against Alex and get knock out again ...

I open my eyes slowly. I feel sick. Water flowing in my muzzle. I'm going to drown...

But something ... or somepony ... holds me. Weakly, I look slowly above, seeing light, coming closer and closer, before I close my eyes ...

"Light! Don't die! LIGHT! Please!" Again, my eyes going open slowly. A shadow looking down to me. "S-Sky? I-Is it y-you?"

"It's me, Alex. We've managed to avoid drowning. I'm glad, you are alive. I don't think, that they find us soon here. We should be safe for now." I look into his eyes. "Y-You saved me?"

"That's what friends are for, right?" He smiles to me. "R-Right."

"We are on an area, where homeless people are living. Well, we are homeless too now. You really swallowed a lot of water, you need rest now. Lie down, try to sleep. I don't think, we have a whole day to rest ... mayby not even a half day." He smiles calmly. "It's okay, Alex. Do you not fear, they see me?"

"I don't think, they are completly sane. Just lie here, okay? Take a nap, Light." I lie my head back, closing my eyes, trying to sleep. I sleep really, really long, when Alex wakes me up.

"Light ... time to go." I look confused, slowly standing up. "Uhm, did they found us?"

"No, but they are close by. You sleeped long, it's already midnight right now ..."

Chapter 7: Way back home

"M-Midnight?"

"Yes, come one!" Alex help me up, before turning around. "O-Okay!"

Alex start too run, while I'm following him. I could run way faster then him, but in a big strange world and those bad humans following us, I feel safer with him close-by ... and I don't want to lose him. He cared for me afterall, he is a true friend. And still I hope to come back ... to MY home ... Equestria. I hope he can come with me ...

"This way!" I follow him as close as possible. He runs trough little ways and alleys, because the big streets are way to dangerous, to easy to spot us. I still think, some of them saw me. Then we hear again a loud noise. "Helicopter?! They sending a fucking helicopter now?! We're not dangerous!"

It's still night outside, so the helicopter uses a light spell or whatever.

"It's dark, we should avoid any light. I hope, you find out soon, how to come back. We are really screwed, when they spot us again." I look to him. "I'm fast, I could easily escape from them. But you can't. And sorry, that you have now all the trouble just to protect me ..."

"No problem. I'm here to help you, right?" I let out a sigh. "Right ..."

"Okay, le-woah, stopstopstop ..." Before I could even move forward, I stopped myself. "What's wrong?"

He points to a human. "Special Forces? Really? To catch or kill an unarmed human and a harmless pony?"

"Is he turning around?" He grabs me. "Yes, fast behind this dumpster."

We run behind the dumpster, in hope, that the human didn't spotted us. "Quiet now ..."

We hear steps coming closer. Alex stands up a little, ready to attack if he has to. "Come out, whoever is behind the dumpster!"

Of course, we stayed behind it. "If you are not coming out, then I have the permission to shoot. We are looking for an alien, we are not going to hurt you. Come out."

We still don't move. We hear again steps, closer and closer. "I said ..."

Before the human could finish his sentence, Alex jumps out from behind the dumpster. The surprise works, he punches few times on his face, before the human falls uncouncious to the ground. Then Alex take something from him. "Is that not one of those things, that kill ponies?"

"Yeah. I ... just keep it for ... if we have no choice." I let out a frown. "You going that far? Only to protect me?"

But Alex doesn't reply. "Alex?"

"I'm thinking ... let's hide in the building. We are screwed outside. It's an old building, not in use anymore. We should be save there, at least for a while." I follow him to the building. We walk to the back entrance. The door is luckily open, so he opens the door and we walk in quietly. It is really not in use anymore. Nopony is around here. Doors standing wide open. Dust and spider webs all around.

"Why is this building not used anymore?" He thinks for a second. "There was a fire, around a month ago. Trough the danger that the building could collapse, everyone had to leave the building and move somewhere else. Because of the other buildings that are directly to this one, they decide that no one is allowed to enter it. So, they shouldn't expect us here ... for the moment at least."

"And we are stupid enough, to walk in a big building, that could collapse every second?" He chuckles. "Yes."

"Are you sure, it ..." He boops my nose. "Hey, we die here or we die somewhere else when they catch us. Do wereally have a choice left? Better then nothing, right?"

"I guess." We walk a few stairs, before we walk into one of the rooms. "We stay here for a while. Afterall, sooner or later, we need food."

"And what do we do now?" He looks to me. "You try to think again, how you got here. If we know, how you came here, we can use it to bring you back home."

"Okay, okay." I try to think about it again. Trying to remember every single detail. I did run fast ... throwing Lightning Thunder from the platform ... we lied on the railway track ... I punched on his face, a lot ... blood, everywhere ... Then a noise, a typical noise ... when a train comes ... I saw light ... and then waking up by Alex, one week later ...

"Sorry, I just remember hearing a train, before I woke up in your bed, Alex." He sighs. "Really nothing unusual?"

KLICK! There was something!

"There was something ... while I punched Thunder's face, I feeled something inside me ... something strange, can't really describe that. Short before the train came ..." He looks hopefully to me. "Mayby that's what broght you here? Can you explain, how this feeling came?"

"Nope, it just came." He sighs. "Okay ... pssst, I hear something."

The door crashes and the same human from before comes in, aiming with one of those deadly things to us. "Wowowow, calm down! We are no enemies!"

"What is with ... that?!" He points to me. "Hey, only because I came from a different world, doesn't mean, I'm dangerous. I don't hurt anypony. Look at you. You point one of those things on us. Did I do anything wrong? I want to go back to my world."

"Who says, that you are not lying?" I facehoof myself. "Who says, that I'm lying?"

He looks to me. I can see his finger, moving on the trigger ... and then I hear a shot ... but not from him. "Wha-? Alex?"

Alex ... Alex shoot him.

"W-What did I done ...?" I look to him worried. "Alex, are you alright?"

"... we should run to the roof, now." I shake his leg nervously. "Alex?"

Alex start to run out of the room, making his way upstairs. I stand still, unknown what to say, until I hear more voices from downstairs. I start running up, but bump into one of them. "Shoot it!"

I dodge the shot, kicking one of them away. That short moment gives me the chance, to run upstairs. "Follow that thing!"

I running as fast as possible upstairs, reaching the roof. Alex stands close to the edge. "Alex! Don't!"

"I'm sorry, Light ... I gone too far ... I killed someone ... I can't live anymore with that ..." The light from that helicopter blending me, but I stay focussed on Alex. I slowly walk to him. "Alex ... please ..."

"Light ... run fast ... jump from roof to roof ... you are fast enough, you can escape. I'm already dead." I glare to him. "Stop that! You have done so much for me! You protected me! You cared for me!"

"Too late ..." I start to shiver. "No ..."

Then I hear a shot again ... it hit Alex in his chest. "Run ... Light ..."

"ALEX!" I see only his body falling from the roof. "NOOOOOO!!!"

Again a strange feeling comes into me. "Give up and you stay alive!"

I slowly turn around, angry and sad at the same time, tears running from my eyes. "Are you that stupid?!"

"We warned you." The feeling gets stronger ... like before I landed here.

I slowly move forward to them. "Stop!"

I keep walking. Then I hear a shot ...

Chapter 8: Back home

"Light? He's moving!"

I slowly open my eyes. I hearing a voice, but can't really recognize who is talking. "Where the hay did you hide so long?"

"Hide?" I realize slowly, who is talking to me. Twilight Sparkle.

"You hide nearly two weeks, Light! You have a lot to explain." I groan, my head hurting. "What day is today?"

"Wednesday. But we found you already on sunday, in the middle of Ponyville." Wait, the last time I was knocked out, was for a whole week. Now not even a half one? I'm still wond-

"Equestria too Light, do you even listen?" I look to her. "Wha-? Yeah, I listen."

"Alright ... are you responsible for the death of Lightning Thunder?" Thunder, that ...

"Light!" I wince. "Mayby, mayby! I punched him a lot in his dirty face, but I don't think he was dead, before I disappeared."

"Disappeared?" I rub my head, only nodding to her. "Really strange thing. I woke up one week later ... in a complete different world."

"Really? That would explain, why nopony has found you." I nod again. "Yep! But now I'm back. What happened in the time, when I was gone?"

"A lot. First thursday. The first day, you where gone." I see her horn glowing in purple magic aura before a newspaper hits my face hard. "Read."

I take the paper from my face and start reading the main article.

"Tragedy in Fillydelphia. Around midnight something happened. A transporter train was on his way to Canterlot, when the train reached the train station of Fillydelphia. *It was already pretty dark, even with the lights in front of the train. I saw it to late, that there where 3 ponies on the railway track*, explains the train driver Hot Ash(40). He told, he saw them on the railway track, before one of them just disappeared. *So far I saw it, it was an earth pony who disappeared*. Even now, it is still unclear, where the earth pony disappeared. Afterall earth ponies can't just teleport away, so mayby another pony helping him? Asking around Equestria, we might find a clue who this particular pony could be. Ponyville has an earth pony, a mail pony by the name of Light Runner(25), who seemed to took a train to Fillydelphia, but never returned since then. From what the ponies told, Light Runner and Lightning Thunder(32) had there share of problems, not long before the incident. The reason was a mare they both seemed to love, Sky Love(23). Every fan from the Wonderbolt Lightning Thunder knows, that she is his special somepony. However, it seems like, Light has feelings for the mare too. But why he just disappeared ... that doesn't know anypony. To ask any of the 3 is too late. Light Runner is missing and Lightning Thunder, also Sky Love, where killed by the train ... wait, Sky is ...?" I feel my body shiver hard, tears running down my face. "Yes, Light. The train killed her ..."

Now I realize it. Thunder did carried her on his back, when I smashed him on the railway track ... with Sky.

"I'm sorry, Light. I nearly ... uhm, I mean, I lost my special somepony too few days ago." He looks up to her in surprise. "Huh? Since when did you had a special somepony?"

"Last week. The week, where you wasn't here. You know him, the stallion who also is a mailstallion. His name was Sweetfull Dream. There where some trouble, especially on the weekend. Well, anything ended well, except that he died by saving me, the author Rising Shine and Equestria ..." He frowns, but noticing her look. "Wow ... you don't look that sad about it."

"I'm ... uhm, I'm proud of him. Thanks to him, I'm back alive. And on the same day, just later, we found you here." First what happened to me and now to him while I was gone ... what the buck is going on recently?

"It's okay." She then looks straight into my eyes. "So it was you on the railway track?"

"Yes, but I can't really explain, why I disappeared." And that's not even a lie.

"Mayby I find something." He nods, before remembering what happened in Fillydelphia. "Wait, Twilight! Some ponies trying to use me. I don't know why or for what! Thunder used Sky only to buck her! Her parents are dead, Lightning wrote the letters! That mare, who captured me ... Fillydelphia ... Saddlebag Road 11!"

"Really?! We will check that directly ... Light, I think, you should visit your love on the graveyard ..." I feel again tears running. "Yeah, good idea ... I will pay her ..."

"You will nothing. Be thankful, that you don't have serious problems right now, Light. Afterall you killed Lightning nearly two times already." He sighs. "Fine, I don't interupt into that until I get ponynapped again ..."

"I have to go, write a letter to Princess Celestia. If what I heard from you is true, then this could get into problems soon. And then still planning for the ceremony for the memory of Sweet for friday. I hope, Fluttershy will sing my song I wrote for him. She can do that really good. See you, when I got new informations." I see Twilight leaving the room. My bedroom. And then Trotting Mail and Derpy Hooves walking in. "Hey, finally back? We had a lot to do, especially that week, since Sweet is dead. I hope you feel good enough to help tomorrow."

"I'm really sorry. Of course I help tomorrow and friday." They smile to me. "Good. And good that you feel better."

"Can I take a muffin?!" Wondering, what Derpy said, I see food next to my bed. "Yeah, sure. I know you like muffins, you can have all of them for you and your daughter."

"Light, thank you!" She hugs me tight. "No problem, Derpy."

I smile back to her, before both leaving the room. I start to think again ... she is gone ... forever ... never see Sky again ...

"I should buy some beautiful flowers for her ..." I stand up from my bed, take 3 bits from me and walk out of my house. I walk to the florist Sparkling Flower, a yellow mare with golden eyes and light blue main and tail with a yellow flower as her cutie mark. "Oh, hello there. Can I help you?"

I look around in the shop and find a beautiful bouquet. "This one there."

She points with her hoof on them. "Those?"

"Exactly." She smiles, taking them. "3 bits then."

I give her my 3 bits and leaving the shop. "Bye!"

I make my way to Ponyvilles graveyard. It was a bit outside, away from Ponyville. I don't have the feel to run, so I just walking like normal to it.

About 10 minutes later I finally reach the entrance. I open the gate and start to search for her grave. Dying isn't a common thing in Equestria. So there aren't that many graves around here. And then, finally, I found her grave. It looks beautiful, like she deserved it. Flowers all around, beautiful and colorful. And a photo from her ... she look so cute on it ... finally I can see her face again.

I feel tears coming up on my eyes again, rolling down my cheeks. I can't help myself anymore, I fall on my flank, covering my eyes with my hooves, when I start to cry. I want to be strong, but I can't. You was such a good friend to me for a long time and then we loved ... all destroyed by that flankhole Lightning Thunder!

"Sky Love. Born 27th September 1990. Died 5th March 2014. Pegasi. Friendly. Good friend. You will always be in our memories. You can finally have peace forever, Sky ... yes, you really can have peace ..."

I put the boutique on her grave, before I start again to cry loud. Why did only I disappeared, while not her ... or only her.

"Hey, you are the pony I met on the train station. From what I know now, youre name is Light Runner, right?" Surprised, I turn around too see the cyan blue stallion again, who gave me money for the train ticket to Fillydelphia. And a mare, black fur, mane and tail. But blue eyes. "You are Rising, I remember. Who is that mare with you? Youre special somepony?"

I see them both blushing. "No, we are just ... very good friends. Without Twilight and Sweet, she would probably still be evil and probably overtaken Equestria by now. I'm glad, she is back to herself now."

"I feel terrible for what I've done ..." Rising pulls one hoof around her. I smile a little "You don't need to ... uhm ..."

"Black Star." I nod. "You don't need to feel bad, Star. From what he just told, you wasn't really yourself. I'm just wondering, why a cute mare like you could be so evil."

Wait, did I say that right now?!

I look to her again, she blushes more then before. "Well, I guess, thanks?"

I start to blush too. "Y-Youre welcome, Star. So why are you two here?"

"Visiting Sweet's grave." I sigh. "Yeah, I heard about that ... Sorry for you."

"He was a nice stallion. I just knew him since last week ... you know, he saved my life, when I cutted me in accident with a knife. He and Twilight brought me fast to the hospital. Without them, I wouldn't be standing here right now." I nod in agreement. "I saw him sometimes on my work. He was a mailstallion. He is really nice, even when we didn't meeted that often."

"Okay. Well, mayby we see us again? I live in Ponyville, she has no place yet, so she is sleeping in my house." I sigh. "Sure, we can meet everytime. I need anything that ... helps me, about ..."

"I know. Come, whenever you want, Light." I see them both walking away. Suddenly Black Star turns around, still blushing and winking to me. Then she continues walking with Rising Shine.

I stayed the rest of the day alone here, just looking at her grave. What does she think now? Want she that I take revenge for her? That I make a new life, with a new mare? That I die or stay alive? It's slowly getting dark ...

"Night, Sky Love. Be my nightmoon, who watch over me." I start to walk back to my home, now realizing, that I'm really hungry. The food besides the muffins, was still there, so I take some from it and start eating. Then I hear somepony knocking on the housedoor. "Door is open!"

Nothing. "Hello?!"

Still nothing. I slowly walk to the door, ready to fight. If it is that mare that ponynapped me with Lightning, I will rip her head from her body.

I open the door fast, but there was nopony around. "Hello?"

Suddenly, I see a pink pony jumping far away, screaming. "HELLO LIIIIIGHTTT!!!"

Pinkie Pie, definitly.

"Hey Pinkie! Did you see somepony else here?!" She shakes her head in the distance. "NOOOO!!!"

She laughs and jumps away. "Strange mare ... in a good wa-huh?"

I see a letter on the ground, in front of me. I put up the letter, locking the house door and walking back to my bed. I take the letter and start reading it.

"Tomorrow. 8 PM. On the lake. Okay? - BS ... who writes me a letter like that? Is that a heart next to *BS*? Heck, is that pony, who wrote that, loving me?"

Mayby it's her ... that mare that ponynapped me. My chance to get her ... tomorrow.

"Sure, why not? I dunno, who you are and I guess, you love me. See ya tomorrow evening on the lake, unknown BS. - LR." I write down my response on the letter with a pen and putting it back on the outside of my front door. I hope, whoever that is, comes back and get the mail.

I walk back to my bed, letting out a loud yawn. I decided to sleep now, my last thoughts on Sky Love, before I fall asleep ...

Chapter 9: New love?

Something has gone wrong. We don't seem to have an archived copy of that chapter.

Chapter 10: New beginning?

Author's Note

Rewritten by myself.

Chapter 10: New beginning?

I wake up, laying in my bed. I didn't had much time recently to sleep normal ...

I climb out of my bed. I feel sorry for Star, but I think, I'm not ready yet for another mare. But no time to think about that.

I walk to the toilet and release everything, that was pleading to come out. Then I take my saddlebag and start running outside. Reaching, I look up in happiness. And this time, I am not to late, yes! Wait, why is Trotting looking so sad?

"Hey Trotting, everything alright?" He looks up, only now noticing that I'm here. "I'm afraid not, Light."

"But I wasn't to l-" He pushes his hoof on my muzzle, before letting out a sad sigh. "I know, it's not about you. Somepony buyed or mail station."

"Really? What's so bad about?" He then looks straight into my eyes. "She doesn't want us as workers."

"Huh?" He sighs and looks away from me. "Just ... let's say ... I, you, Derpy and Sweet ... okay, Sweet is dead ... fired."

"What? No! I love this job, it's made for me!" He still looks away. "Then try another town. Your work here is done. Here, 1.000 bits."

He throws a little sack full with the bits inside. "It's the money we all got. You should start finding something new, Light. I told Derpy already about the situation. Well, good bye I guess ..."

He waves lazily with one hoof, before walking away from me ... why me? Why is my life breaking so much now?

"Light?" I look up to her, tears already forming. "Twilight? W-What is it?"

"I know, today is the ceremony, but already sobbing?" I look back to the ground. "W-what? Oh, nono, it's something different ... I lost my job."

"What? I'm sorry, Light ..." I let out a heavy sigh. "It's okay."

"Light, listen. Everypony thinks, that I asked Fluttershy to sing. They don't know, if she even comes. Did you kn-"

"Twilight. We should go." Rising and Star, who still looks disappointed about yesterday, walking to us. "Oh, yeah. Sorry. Are you coming, Light?"

"I coming a bit later. I just bring my saddlebag back home and the bits." They nodding, Star not even looking to me. "Okay, see you then."

All 3 start walking away. I take the closed sack on my back and start walking back home. I walk inside and put the sack and saddlebag down. I sit down on the wooden ground, holding my hooves over my eyes. I still can't believe that ... first my special somepony dies ... then my friend from the other world ... both dead ... no sign of that unicorn ... and now my jobs gone too? Is destiny hating me that much?

I walk back out and walk to the place, where the ceremony will be. On my way, I saw a note pinned on a tree.

"Big help needed. Big MacIntosh hurted. - Applejack. Hmmm, not my way of working, but better then nothing. I keep that in mind and ask her later."

I continue my way and reach it finally. I make my way to the front of the crowd, so that Fluttershy ... IF she really comes ... can see me. Celestia and Luna stepping on the podium, looking to the crowd. Celestia starts to talk. "Today, we are all here, to say a good pony, good bye. Most of you may don't even know him, but for those ponies here, he was something special. A nice stallion ... a good friend ... a special somepony ... but at the end, he helped us all. Without him, without his dying wish ... we all wouldn't be here right now. Thanks to him and our newest Princess, Twilight Sparkle, a pony named Black Star, wouldn't be back to normal. We would be still captured. And some of you would be already dead. So let us say good bye to him. Dying is a rare thing in Equestria. It is always hard to lose somepony forever. Always. I saw ponies come and go. Mayby some of you too. But life goes on. And for him and all the other ones, who already gone, we should continue life. Remember the dead, but still continue life. And now a minute of silence for or friend."

We all stay quiet for a whole minute. I think back about Sky Love. But Celestia is right. We have to continue ... we shouldn't get stopped by the ponies who are gone ...

"Thank you all. Our friend Fluttershy made a little song for him, after talking with Twilight." That is what Twilight means. They all think, she talked to Fluttershy.

Fluttershy steps to the podium, looking to me with a *They think, she talked to me*-face. Then she smiles to me.

"T-thank you. I don't know him good, but Twilight told me about him. He was a good pony. She asked me, if I can sing the short text, she gave me." She look again to me with the same face. " Normally, I wouldn't, but I think, for her, I should do. From Twilight, for Sweet, if you can hear us ..."

She looks to me, her eyes concentrating on me only, trying to think everypony away. I hope, she make it.

"When you now, you have done
to pass this life, to gone
Their will always be somepony
who remember what you done.

You will never be forgotten
even when you are rotten

You will always be in our hearts

We hope you lived well
in our big world
Remember the good and bad
and be proud of it

You was a wonderful friend
we'll never can show you that
but we all know in our hearts,
that you will be watching us.

Now it's time to say good bye
to our friend, to your life
And someday, in a far new world
we will see you happy alive.

And now, we sing together
for or loved friend
we will always keep you friend
in our place, in our heart."

She did it ... and it sounded beautiful.

I hear some ponies crying, but I smile to Fluttershy. I stay here, until everypony was gone.

After Celestia and Luna making their ways back to Canterlot, I walk on the podium to Fluttershy. "That was great! I honestly didn't expected, that you would even come. I'm glad that I could helped you."

"Thank you, Light. I was afraid and scared, but you helped me a lot. I have to look for Angel now, that cute little troublemaker, thank you again." And then she gives me a quick kiss on my cheek before walking away. Did that just really happened? Fluttershy ... kissed me? What is just wrong with me? First Star, now Fluttershy? Who is the next mare, who likes me more then usual?! Should I really find a new mare? I still don't know yet ... I should go to Sweet Apple Acres. For a new job. Even when it's probably just for one day.

I start walking to the farm. It is not that far from here, around 10 minutes.

When I reach it, I see Applejack already kicking on a tree. "I heard, you need some help?"

I see all apples falling perfectly into the baskets, that are standing under the tree. "Here for help, ya? Sure, show me, what ya got, sugarcube!"

I walk to another tree. With all my running my hooves should be strong, so I hope, I can do that.

I turn around and kick with all I got against the tree. 5 apples fall down. "Good enough?"

"Ya better then the most that tried. Most of them got about 2 apples." She smiles. "Good to know, that I'm something special."

We both laugh a little.

"Think, ya gonna can hold up the whole day?" I nod. "I can give my best."

"Alright, sugarcube." I continue to kick on trees. Slowly, from tree to tree, I getting better. She gives me tips, to help me.

It was a hard day and she is definitly better then me. I think, it's already like 6 PM, when we were both sitting on a tree. "Ya gettin' better, sugarcube. I think, a few weeks, and ya could be a great worker here."

I turn to her, a bit surprised. "Really? That would be great, I just lost my job today."

"Ya a bad pony?" I shake my head fast. "Nono, nothing like that. I was the best in there. But somepony buyed it and kicked us out. It would be great, if I could work here. Even when it was hard, It was fun today. I really needed that."

"Ya can work here, if ya want." She smiles to me. "GREAT! I mean, thanky."

"Thanky?" I chuckle a little. "Thank and you mixed together. Got that from Sky Love."

"Sky? I knew her." I nod sadly. "Yeah, she lived in Ponyville, until ..."

She look to me and nod her head, to give me a sign that she knows, what happened. "Well. Thanky, you make this day way better then it started, Applejack. Hard working really does help, to forget all the bad thoughts."

"No prob, sugarcube." I stand up, stretching myself. "Well, see you tomorrow?"

"Monday." I nod and look to her. "Okay, got it. Monday at ..."

"6 AM!"

Wow, that is really soon!

"Six, got it! See you!" She waves with her hoof, before laying her front hooves behind her head, lowering her hat to hide her face. I walk back to town, when I meet Rising and Star again. Since the last weeks happened, my life has changed completly. And working on the apple farm helped me too. I think, I know, what the best for me is now.

"Hey Rising and Star." Rising looks to me. "Oh, hey, Light. Coming from the apple farm?"

"Yep. Working there now, after I lost my old job." He smiles. "Ah yeah, right. I heard, you brought Fluttershy to sing? You really earned her trust, huh?"

"Looks like that ... hey Star." She didn't looked at me the whole time. I walk to her and raise her head with my hoof. I thought about that and I think, the time has come. I kiss her, right on her muzzle. She looks definitly surprised. "Light?"

I stop kissing her and look back to Rising. "Have something against her new special somepony?"

I think, she realized now, what happened in this moment. "No, nothing. But care good for her."

She still looks to me, a smile appearing on her face. "R-really, Light?"

"Definitly, Star." She then hug me. "Is it okay, when I sleep with you?"

"Uhm, sure, why not?" She screams happily. "Rising?!"

"Go ahead, you are grown up afterall, Star." She hug him then. "Thank you, Rising!"

She then looks back to me. "Let's go."

"See you, Rising!" He waves happily. "Yup."

I walk with her to my home and open the door. She walks in and I lock it from inside. She started looking around my house. "Tell me if you find something interesting!"

"Wanna sleep?" I look surprised. "Already? It's not even 9 yet."

"But I'm tired. It surprised me so much, that you do love me, that I'm tired. Please."

Fine.

"Okay, but only today. You can sleep in my bed and I ..." She grabs my hoof. "Sleep with me ... I want to have you with me."

I really don't know, what to say. She looks really cute to me.

"Fine." I start walking upstairs and she follows me, her tail swishing happily. She jumps on my bed and I lay down next to her. "You make this sad day to a happy ending, Light."

"Sure." I give her a quick kiss and close my eyes then. From all of the possible things to think about, I start to think about Applejack. Somehow, I know her from somewhere, I guess ... but from where?

"Night, Light."

"Night, Star."

I slowly drift off, still thinking about the apple pony ...

Chapter 11: Star, Apple and Light

I wake up to realize, that Star isn't next to me anymore. "Star? Are you here?"

No response. But I smell something ... something good. I stand up from my bed, rubbing my eyes and then start walking downstairs to the kitchen. "Morning Light. Made some pancakes for you, if it is okay."

She looks to me. Few days ago, I never could dreamed about, to be together with any other pony then Sky Love. She changed my mind. I just have to restart my life. My old life died the last few days. No mailstallion, no Sky Love, no fear. Just me and Star and my new job in the apple farm. Changing my life to something better. Forget, but not lose, what happened in the past. Look to the future. There is still a long life ahead for me. Now with Star. But still ... Applejack. I still don't know, where I know her. Yeah, she IS a element of harmony, that probably knows everypony. Sure I know her because of that. But I mean before. Before I lived here. When I was still in ... now I remember! I meet her in Manehattan, when I was young. I didn't talked to her or something, just saw her. She didn't even had her cutie mark back then. When I now thinking about it, that definitly was Applejack. The orange fur, the beautiful eyes, the mane and tail ... And at this time, I had a crush on her ... but it was long time ago, I probably forgot her over years ...

"Light, are you okay?" She looks worried to me. "W-What? No, everything is okay, just got lost in my thoughts. Don't worry, Sweetie."

She smiles wide to me and uses her magic to bring the plate with the pancakes to the table. Then she sits down on one chair, while I sit down on the other chair. "Uhm ... how should I eat it now, without cutlery?"

"Well, I didn't had anything like that, when I was evil. I used my hooves. Or my magic." She use her magic again, levitating one pancake to her muzzle and start biting it. I take one with my hooves and start eating too.

We ate for a while, before all pancakes ended in our tummies. She really is a good cooker.

"That was delicious, Star. Can't wait to see, what else you can cook too." She blushes a bit. "T-Thanks, Light. I want, that you are happy. I giving my best."

I want, that you are happy ... She really want to give me a good life, after what happened. She really likes me ... no, she really loves me.

"Star? Can I ask you something?" She looks rather surprised. "Sure. What's up?"

"I was wondering ... why me? Why did you fall in love with me? There are probably 1.000 stallions all over Equestria and beyond, who are more attractive, intelligent, cute or what do I know. Why me?" She rubs one of her legs nervously. "You know. After what happened, most of them are still unsure to trust me. They try to avoid me ..."

"But not every stallion, or?" She shakes her head. "Well, not every stallion, but the most of them. Same goes for mares or non-ponies. I guess the princesses and the elements of harmony trust me. Also Sweet and Rising ... especially Rising."

"Sweet? But didn't he died?" She gulps nervously, then starting to talk again. "Yeah, he is. I just hope, he would trust me, if he would still be alive ..."

"Sorry. About Rising. Why not him?" She rolls her eyes. "We are very good friends. But not more or less. I never really had feelings like that for him, like I have for you. I always saw him as my best friend, never thought further then that. And back to your question. I love you, because you are nice and friendly and don't fearing me for what I did."

"Fear you? You are way too cute to be feared. You could only kill me with your cuteness." We both start to laugh for a while. "I wasn't sure yet, to be together with somepony else, after I found out, what happened with Sky. But I have to restart my life now and I'm glad, you are a part of it, Star. I wasn't there, when you where evil. I only know and see the Black Star in front of me. A cute mare, who isn't evil at all. I saw evil ponies already, believe me, you are not even close to them ..."

She blushes again. "T-Thanks, Light. I'm glad, that I'm not evil anymore."

"What exactly happened?" She looks to me. "You mean, when I was evil? I found out, that Sweet was a lucid dreamer."

"Lucid dreamer?" What is that?

"Ponies that are dreaming, but have full control of what they are doing in it." I look surprised. "You mean, when he wants to buy an apple in the market, he just could do that? Without stopped by any dream limits?"

"Exactly. He can do, whatever he wants in his dreams. Asking a pony for a date, buying an apple, start killing everypony ... but lucid dreaming is dangerous, Light." Again I look surprised. "Why?"

"Everything you lucid dreaming, no matter how silly the dream is, get's reality. As an example. If I would lucid dreaming right now and kill you with a knife, then ..."

" ... I would be dead in reality?" I wince by the tought, that I could just die any minute trough someponies dream. "Exactly. He did that everytime he sleeped. But from generation to generation, they created an own world. So no matter what happened, it happened there, not here. He however thought first, that world is real and we are just a dream, until he found out, that's it's exactly the opposite."

"Wow." She continues. "However, I wanted to use his power, so he could lucid dream something for me. Something that is able to catch Celestia and Luna and giving me there power. He had no choice and did that. But later he came back, with Princess Twilight and Rising Shine, to stop me. I couldn't hurt Rising ... so I made him into stone, something like what happened to Discord twice. But Twilight and Sweet weren't interesting to me, managed to kill both."

"What?! But how can she ..." She chuckles a little. "Dying wish."

"Dying wish?" She nods. "Yep. She told me, that he probably wished, to bring her back to life and stop me. She did. But she didn't killed me ... she brought my true self, the one right in front of you, back. The darkness prisoned my true self, but she rescued me. I will be forever in her debt."

"I see. Twilight is no monster. I don't think, she could kill anypony ... not like me." That gives her a frown. "Huh? But you didn't killed anypony, Light."

"What is with Sky and Thunder?" She shakes her head. "The train hit them ..."

"... because I throw Lightning on the ..."

"Stop that! You did NOT killed them. You never killed anypony."

And then I got a pretty bad flashback ... something I forgot for years ... there was more that happened, when I got my scar ... way more ...

"Light?" I look down. "I never told anypony this ... never ..."

"Light, are you okay?" I shake my head. "Star ... I have done a horrible thing, when I was young. When I got the scar on my flank. I think I told Sky, that I would be dead, if I wouldn't be so fast. But there was more, that happened that day ..."

"Can you tell me? I promise, I'm not going to tell anypony else, if you want. I want to help." I sigh. "It was in the past, you can't help it anymore. Promise, you don't tell anypony?"

She looks worried, but nods her head. "Okay ... it happened in an usual day, when I was 7. I was blank at my flank and it was saturday ..."

---On a saturday, 18 Years ago---

I was walking outside of the streets. I lived in a darker place of Manehattan. Happiness and joy is something, that rarely existed here. It was usual, that somepony stole stuff or that a pony killed another pony. Or ponies making suicide. I saw that sometimes by myself, Star. I got used to it, even when I didn't liked it. This place was so rotten, so unforgiven, even the princess avoided this area if possible. And I lived there. My school wasn't there luckily. But our house did. We didn't had enough money to escape this place, so we got used to it. I remember a few things, but forgot most of it ... luckily. Until now ...

"Hey, look! That crying little blank flank again. Are you running to your mommy again, Light Foal?" I could punch my head on the wall. "Shut your muzzle, flankhole! Nopony else to annoy?"

Usual way to talk there, Star.

"Oh, Foal Light got some balls, huh?" I glare to them. "Just let me alone!"

Of course, they didn't. They come closer, grinning to me. "Ohhhh, but we like you, really."

"Lick my flankhole and go away! I want some rest here!" They try to sound as happy as possible. "Dun go, Light. we are your friends."

The next thing I said, nearly killed me.

"Really? I thought, your only friend is your mother, that you buck three times per day. I hear you groaning and everypony knows, that you never going to have a marefriend!" The next thing, I know was getting beaten the life out of me.

But I manage to escape them somehow. One of them tries to stop me with the knife in his muzzle, hitting me right on my flank, that starts to bleed. I run as fast as I can, but I was hurted to much to run really fast. Fast enough to keep them in distance from me, but not enough to escape there views. My left eye is swollen, my muzzle hurts as Tartarus. I bleed from my muzzle and the knife-wound. The bitten some hair from my tail too. Two of my legs nearly crippled. Like usual, the ponies here try to avoid problems here, so nopony even thinks to help me. I am by my own right now. "C-Come on, m-motherbuckers! Suck my little friend!"

I use the chance of an oprn door, to run into a building and closing the door behind me. I limp my way upstairs, when I hear something crashing ... the entrance door. I run to the roof, hoping that they don't follow me or expecting me here.

But a jump was no option, when I wanted to survive. The buildings there are too high.

I turn around, in hope to find another way, but too late. They reach the roof. "You overdone playing, my friend! At least, you become another dead colt in the statistics of Manehattan! Be honored!"

As horrible my life was, this was sure one of the top 3 moments in my life, where I was scared for my life ...

I wince, falling on my back. Tears start to roll over my cheeks.

I had no options anymore. I tought I die here.

"Go away, he is mine!" The other ponies from the clan start to walk away. He however comes closer. "Well, I getting horny, you could be useful for that. But you little wimp annoyed me so much, so I will kill you first and then enjoy your dead body."

As you can guess, he wasn't clear in his brain anymore.

I look in shock, he comes closer to me. He shows me a knife that is tied on his right hoof. He grins wide to me, when he walks closer. "P-Please, don't ..."

I start to cry, but I couldn't look away from him. My bladder empties itself in fear, making myself and the ground wet. "I kill you like a gentlecolt, okay? It will only hurt a lot!"

Now he is in front of me. "Oh, did you peed on yourself from fear?"

I wince more, my body shaking in horror. "P-Please ..."

He now stands directly over me, holding up the hoof with the tied knife over my face. "Any last wishes, crying foal?"

I breath heavily. My eyes widen, when I see the knife right in front of me. But then, my body reacts in adrenaline. I can't explain why exactly, I just kick with my hind legs as strong as I can on his tummy. He falls back from me in pain, before glaring at me. I use the chance to stand up. With a growl he runs to me, but I dodge his attack at the right time. He gasps in surprise, when he sees the edge of the roof. He slips over it, but before he would fall, he manages to grab the edge with his front hooves. I slowly walk to him, looking down.

I'm a killer, Star. I could had just walk away, letting himself try to get back from his misery then. But I didn't. I didn't gave him any chance that he could be saved.

He looks to me with a pleading face to help him.

Mayby he realized that what he wanted to do was wrong. Mayby not. The fact is, I killed him.

I lower my head, while he gives me a hopeful face. But I take the knife from his hoof and smashing it into said hood. He cries out in pain, pulling his bleeding hoof again.

As tough as he was, I'm sure at this moment, he was the crying little foal he used to always call me.

I raise my head with the knife, seeing his eyes widen in horror, as I slam the knife with all force in his other hoof. He cries - no screams - in pain and horror, as his hoof slipped of the edge, giving him no choice then to fall. I watch him fall, showing no emotion when his fall ended on the street.

It wasn't a pretty view ...

There isn't much left of him, only blood and guts covering the street, ponies that where passing by screamed in horror and running away. Only now my body realizes what just happened. My eyes widen. I turn around, throwing up. I try to run, but my body went limb from the shock and blood lose. I fall on my back, looking up to the sunny sky, as my eyes closes.

The next thing I remember, was waking up in the hospital, few days later ...

---Back to present---

"Oh my gosh!" Before I could do anything, she presses me into a tight hug. "I didn't know ... that's horrible. How could anypony do this!"

"I said it already, in that part of Manehattan, this is normal. I needed years to forget that traumatic experience, but it seems like, it was never forgotten, just pushed away from my mind ..." She even hugs tighter. "Doesn't matter ... you are here, in Ponyville now. And you have me, Light!"

"And I'm happy, that you are here. I feel reliefed now, finally told that out. I'm sorry, if I shocked you." She winces. "You shocked me ... that's just gross!"

I hug her back tight. "It's past, not now. It's okay now, Star."

She starts to cry, still hugging me tight. I stay quiet and hug her back tight.

She cried for a while, before she finally let go and look deep into my eyes. "We shouldn't talk about that ever again."

I only nod. It was horrible and I'm glad, that it was long time ago.

"So, what now? We still have a day in front of us."

I start to think, what we could do, but I have nothing in mind. "I don't know. I have to work on monday, but we have saturday right now. Have you something in mind?"

She was to answer me, when we hear knocking from the door. "Who could that be?"

"I don't know, Light." We both walk to the entrance door, then I open it. It is Applejack. "Oh, hey Applejack. What are you doing here?"

"We make a party for ya."

For me?

"Why? I don't know anything why I deserve a party." She chuckles. "Ya working for us now, sugarcube. I thought, a little party would be nice. Pinkie is helping us."

I don't know what to say. A party, for me?

"Light, are you okay?" Star looks worried to me. "Huh? Oh, yeah, I'm okay, Star. Wow, that is really nice from you, Applejack. You can count me in."

"Great! See ya at 8 PM, Light." I nod and Applejack turns around to walk away. Darn that strong flank ... wha-what am I thinking?!

"Light?" I shake my head fast. "I'm here, I'm here!"

Please, don't tell me, I getting a crush on my old crush again ...

"Are you alright, Light?" I nodding fast. "Y-Yeah, I'm fine, Star."

I give her a quick kiss on her cheek. I feel it, I definitly have feelings for Star. But why is Applejack turning me on too? Can it be, that I love 2 mares at the same time?!

"Good." I try to get my mind clean again and look to her. "Y-Yeah, good ... uh ... you was going to say something."

"Was I? Indeed, I was. How about ... uh ... the lake? It's a really good day today." I smile to her. "Sounds good. Let's go."

I put one hoof around her neck and we start walking to the lake. "Wait, the door."

"No problem." She use her magic to close the door. I laugh a little. "Magic definitly has his use."

"Yep." She grins to me and then I suddenly hovering in the air ... but how?

"Like it? I levitate you with my magic." I look rather uncomfortable. "Wow, please, take me back to the ground."

She put me back down with her magic. "Don't like it?"

"Not, when I have no control of my own body." She winces. "Sorry."

We continue or way to the lake. After some time, we finally reach it. "Come on, Light!"

She runs and then jumps into the lake. I follow her and jump in. We laughing together.

For the next few hours, we were just swimming around, splashing us with water or diving under the lake to watch the fishes, before we had swim back to land and lied us down on the warm sand. I hadn't such a good day for long.

"That was fun, Light!" I smile to her. "Yeah, didn't feeled so good for long. I'm glad, that afterall, I have a pony with me, who likes and even loves me. Thank you, Star."

Without any warning, she comes closer and give me a kiss on my cheek. I blush in surprise. "No problem, Light. I'm glad, I have you too. I want to be with you forever."

Then she cuddles on me, rubbing her head on my chest. I put one hoof around her neck.

We rest here for a while, before she lift her head and looks to me. "Light, let's do something."

"Something you have in mind?" She looks. "I think, what we could do ... hmmmmm ..."

I wait , before she finally replies. "Well, there is nopony around here right now."

"Yeah, so what have you in mind?" She starts to blush. "H-How about ... uhm ..."

"Everything alright?" I look curious, wondering what's in her mind. "... you and me ... right here ... together ..."

I see, where this is going.

She starts to blush harder. "You want sex with me, right now, right here, right?"

She blush more, slowly nodding her head. I kiss her cheek, to give her a sign, that I'm ready. I know, it's strange. We know each other not for long, but we have time and I feel attracted to her right now. And that she wants it too, makes it harder to say no. Who can deny to such a cute blushing mare? I can't. She loves me, I love her.

"C-Can you show me how it w-works?" I raise an eyebrow. "New im business?"

We both laugh a little. It turns me even more on, that she is a virgin. Teach her how it works. But I'm still glad, that Sky Love was my teacher. I still miss her, but I'm over it. I have Star now.

She blushes even more. "Don't worry, Star. I'm not going to hurt you. I want to enjoy this. I'm glad, that I can teach you such a gorgeous thing like sex. You will not regret it, student."

We both laugh again a little. "Is it really okay for you, Light?"

"Don't worry, Star. I am. And I giving my best, that you enjoying it like I did." She smiles. "Thank you, Light."

We both stand up. "Ready, my little pony?"

"Ready!" I start to kiss her. She is a bit surprised, but then kissing back. I start to wrestle my tongue with hers. She returns the favour and wrestles back. We keep kissing and wrestling our tongues. I feel it. I feel it, since the moment I kissed her. The connection. I love her really. And she loves me. Mhhhhhhhhh ... she tastes fantastic.

We continue kissing, feeling it both. The love between us. We continue like that for minutes, before I finally pull back. I look to her, she looks to me, smiling. "That was gorgeous, Light. I love you."

"Indeed, I love you too, Star. I have a little idea, if it is okay. I don't want to give you the typical standard. I want to make it special." She looks curious. "H-How?"

"I licking your marehood, while you licking my dick. I'm sure, we will like that." She blushes hard. "Sounds interesting ..."

"Still worried? I'm sure, you will enjoy it, Star." She smiles a little. "O-Okay."

I lie down on my back, look to her extra seductive and cute as possible. She blushes more then before, probably because my *friend* is awake. "W-Wow ... that's ... big."

I grin to her more seductive. "Don't worry, he may be big, but I swear, he will pleasure you, not hurting."

She smiles a bit, still blushing hard. "I h-hope so ..."

"Think, you are ready?" She nods, still blushing a lot. Then she slowly walks to me until she stands directly over me, looking into my eyes. I smile, looking back to her. Her blushing makes her more cuter then before. She is mine, mine special somepony.

She slowly turns around, so I can see her flank. Then she lifts her tail, so I get a better view of what's under it. Her pussy and flankhole looks so new, unused. I can smell her scent coming. Gorgeous.

"Wow ..."

I don't see her face, but I swear, she blushes more right now.

"L-Like it, L-Light?" She shakes her flank a little. "No. I love it."

I put my hooves on her flank, pulling it slowly down to me, until I can reach her marehood. I feel the heat coming from it, her clit pumping already in excitement. I can feel, that she pulled herself down on the other side, ready to start with my cock. I can feel her hoof slowly pulling around my dick, my member twitches in excitement. "Ready, Star?"

"R-Ready." I take a short sniff from her scent. "Okay."

I slowly stretch my tongue out and start to lick her clit. I feel, how her flank shivers a bit, when I touch it. I then start to lick her marehood, more and more, faster and faster. Then I feel her wet tongue on the tip of my cock. This feels so good.

I can feel, how she is going faster with her licking. I continue licking her pussy, pushing my tongue deeper in her. I hear her moaning, while she keeps going. Then I fell suddenly her muzzle, slowly around the tip. She start licking and sucking it slowly. I lean my head more on her pussy, pushing my tongue deeper in her. Gosh, it's so hot and unused inside. But this all feels so good.

I push the tip of my muzzle in her. She muffled something, but my dick in her muzzle keeps her quiet. I push my muzzle deeper in, licking as far as I can get in her. Not enough for the womb.

She starts to take more and more from my dick ... oh gosh, she takes it all in her muzzle!

I can feel her tight, wet throat around my member. But she don't sound like, she have a problem to handle it at all. I feel her sucking and gulping, said gulping giving my member an inside massage. I try to moan to, put it ends muffled in her pussy. "Mpfhhh!"

"Mpfhh!" We continue like that for around 10 minutes. I guess, when I suddenly feel her pussy juice splashing on my muzzle. I pull fast out, more hitting on my face. Gosh, it's so hot and so much. Not bad for her first time.

She is still sucking my whole dick, licking it. I see her raised tail swishing happily, making me smile. I then feel the pressure inside my shaft, but I try to let her enjoy this as long as possible. I keep licking her wet marehood, even when she came already. Afterall, she should enjoy it as much as possible.

Around 3 minutes later, I couldn't hold it back. The tip of my cock inside her throat flares up, as my hot, sticky cream shoots out deep into her throat. I feel each gulp around my cock, as she tries to swallow all of my loads. Then she pulls fast back, groaning loud. I pull back from her marehood and groan too. We panting for a while, before she finally speaks to me. "T-That was great ..."

"Told you ..." She turns around to look at me. A bit of my cum hanging out from her muzzle. "Sorry for releasing on your face ..."

"Why? I hoped you release on me. That only means, you enjoyed this." She blushes hard. "Oh, really?"

I nod too her and smile. "Really. I did the same, right ... okay, in you, not on you. But you tasted definitly good."

I grin to her, licking the juice around my muzzle and swallow it. "Definitly."

She smiles, then she realize the juice hanging from her and licks it away, swallowing it. "You did too. I never expected, it would taste this good. Thank you, for doing this, Light."

She smiles too me and then she kiss me. I kissing her back, feeling the taste of both our juices together. "No problem, gorgeous."

We both smile too each other. "And, found something, we can do now?"

"Want to hang around town?" I nod. "Sure, sounds good."

We both smile wide and stand up from the sand. Then we start walking back to Ponyville. She pulls a hoof around my neck. This is just great.

When we reach the town, we start looking around for what to do. We walk into several shops and looking around, what things or food they sale or greet other ponies we pass. Nothing special, just having time with my love ... okay, that is special.

We don't realize, that it's already evening, when I see her again ... Applejack.

She is pulling a heavy carriage behind her. A blanket covers the content of it. "Think, this is for your party, Light?"

"What?" She nods to her direction. "What she is pulling. Mayby it's for you later."

That would be a heavy present.

"Sure? It's looks pretty heavy to pull."

At least, I have a good view on her full sweated flank ... what am I thinking?!

"You okay?" I nod. "Oh, yeah, I'm fine, don't worry."

I rub my nose with hers. She smiles. "We should wash us, before we go to your party."

"Good idea. My face smells like a black star." We walk back to my house. I open the door, wait until she is inside and close it. Then we both walk to my bathroom and straight into the shower.

"I can help you to wash you." I look to her. "Huh?"

"Magic, silly. Should be easier, then doing it by your own hooves, right?" I chuckle. "Right."

I turn the shower on, letting the warm water falling on us. She uses her magic to take the mane & tail shampoo and put some of it per magic on my mane and tail, rubbing it in. Then she use her magic to wash both. It's just magic, that is washing it, but it still feels good. I smile a bit. Then she takes the fur shampoo and put it everywhere else on my body and distributed it on me. Then she wash it with the water from from the shower. I never feeled so fresh after washing.

"Good?" I grins to her. "GREAT!"

We both laugh, before she starts doing the same with her own body. She looks so beautiful when washing.

After she finished, I turn the shower off and we walk out from the shower. She uses her magic to dry herself and then doing the same on me, before I could get my own towel. "Wow, thanks."

"No problem."

Her smile could kill ponies. It's too adorable!

"We should go now, it's close to be 8 PM, Light."

Wait a second ...

"She didn't told, where the party is." Star thinks for a moment. "She told, Pinkie is helping them ... Sugarcube Corner?"

"Mayby, our in her farm." She nods. "Let's look in Sugarcube first."

We walk out from my home, when we see already Pinkie waiting for us. "Finally! Let's go too your party, Light!"

Before I could move any muscle, she grins and grabs my hoof and starts running. Star barely managed to get hold onto my hind leg. When it is about sweets our parties, she is faster then Rainbow Dash doing a Rainboom ...

She keeps dashing, until we reach the apple farm. We walk inside the barn. Everywhere confetti, balloons and colored stripes. Music is playing too. All of them wearing party hats. "Good to know, ya a punctual stallion, Light!"

"I try to be always punctual, Applejack." She chuckles. "Call me AJ."

Mhhhh ... AJ ...

"Why?" She rolls her eyes. "When ya call me, AJ is shorter then Applejack, right?"

"Oh ... yeah."

Makes sense.

"Well, the party is for ya, Light. Enjoy it." I smile wide. "I will."

I nod and walk to the table, take a piece of cake and start eating it. Gosh, this chocolate cake taste awesome!

I finish the piece and was close to take another one, when Star pats my back. "Want to dance? I like this song."

Dancing?!

"Uhhhhhh ... sure, why not?" She squees and we both walk in the middle of the barn. She takes my hoof and starts dancing. I try to follow the steps she is doing. I look into her eyes, she look into mine. I really don't know, what could go wrong now.

"Hey, hey, Light! Wanna sum cider?!"

Applejack? Is she drunken?

"AJ? Are you okay?" She giggles. "Just a little drunk'. I'm absolutely fine!"

Then she start to dance ... if you can call that a dance. I see Big MacIntosh coming. He pulls her away from the dance place. "Wow, that was ... strange."

We continue to dance, talking and laughing. It was a good party. After some time, more and more ponies leaved the party, so that, except AJ and her family, nopony was here anymore. Only them, me and Star. "Hey, Light, I going to the toilet. Can take a bit longer."

"Alright, see you." She walks to Big MacIntosh, while Granny Smith and Applebloom leaving the barn, probably to go to sleep. Then, Big Mac and Star walking out, probably showing, where the toilet is. So it was only me and AJ left. I take some more from the cider ... a bit to much. My head hurts. I had enough, I shouldn't had take more then I can handle.

I can barely stand on my hooves, when I slip onto Applejack. Everything is turning, when I suddenly kissing her, no short kiss, a passionate kiss. And she return it!

Then we start to wrestle each others tongue. Oh gosh, she is so good ... and tastes like apple.

Then she pulls back, grinning to me. "Show ma, how good ya are, loverboy!"

She pushes me away, standing up and shaking her flank to me. I grin wide and stand up too, trying to stand as good as I can. I want it, I want her, right now, right here.

I manage to put my hooves on her back, ready to push my ...

"Light?!"

BUCK!

"S-Star?" I turn to look to her. I may be drunk, but I can see, that she looks sad, angry and disappointed at the same time. To make it worse, I get an erection. "How can you? You bucking flankhole!!"

"S-Star ... wait ..." I try to follow her. But I always land on the ground. I manage to walk to the town, before I fall again. My view spins, before everything turns black.

...

I wake up and looking around. Please, let it be a horrible nightmare, not real.

I can feel that I'm laying on a bed. I look slowly to the right, in hope to see Star smiling. But what I see instead is a big, fat pink flank next to me, with three baloons on it. I look around, seeing the whole body ...

Wait, what?! Pinkie Pie?!!

Chapter 12: What could go wrong now?

And here I am. Everything done wrong, screw up everything in my life and to my bad luck, I wake up next to Pinkie Pie ... IN HER BED!

I try to snuggle myself out of her - surprising tight - grip from me. After a feeled hour - it was only 3 minutes - I got myself free from the pink party pony. I slide out of her bed, trying to remember what happened after I fallen to the ground. But everything from there is blank, black, nothing. The sun starts rising in the horizon, blending me in surprise. Then I hear movement. For Starswirls sake ...

"Goooood mooorning Light!" A second later I'm locked into a tight hug. "P-Pinkie ..."

"Woops, sorry!" She let go from me. I shake myself, before looking to her always happy grin. "So ... why am I here?"

"Oh, found you drunk and uncouncious outside!" I look surprise. "And then you just put me in your bed, nothing more, uhm, right?"

"Yep, you sleeped like a little colt!" She giggles while I sigh in relieve. The last I need is sex with another mare ...

"Well, uhm, thank you for letting me stay. But I really need to-" BOOM! And my face is covered with confetti and little colored stripes. I try shaking the party cannons load of my face, but it sticks on it. "SURPRIIIISE! I knowwhat happened and toughtyou could need a cheer up party!"

"Cheer up party? Wait, you know-"

"Everypony knows. Dude, you almost bucked one of my best friends, that also is a famous element of harmony, while beeing together with another mare! That's nothing that stays hidden, the newspaper is full with photos!" My eyes widen. "WHAT?! But we didn't even had sex! And we were drunk! I might had feelings for her when I was young but not now!"

"You had feelings for her?" I look to her serious. "I saw her back when we were young in Manehattan. I lived there before. But never saw her after that, until I recently realized, that said filly is Applejack."

"Wow, your a player. First AJ, then Sky, then Star, now-"

"Stop it! I need to talk to Star and AJ!" And with that I run out of the room ... only for a bucket with ice cold water falling on my head. I wince in surprise, falling on my back. "PINKIIIIIE!"

I turn around to face her, standing up and shivering from the cold water, while she falls on her back, giggling hard. "Good one, Gummy! Hahahaha!"

"Urgh, confetti on my face, water over my head ... what next?" Like on command I feel something wiggling in my mane. I grab the beeing to see the alligator Gummy. I roll my eyes, putting him down and run ot of the door.

Out of Sugarcube Corner, I directly start looking for Star. Everypony watches me, even more disgusted then before. Note to me: Never NEVER drink anything with alcohol ever again ...

I sigh, looking for her, when I finally meet her. She looks down, eyes red, having a cyan blue wing around her back, that comes from Rising. "Star!"

Her eyes widen for a second, before she looks away from me. Rising looks to me however, with an expression, that tells me all to clear, what he would do to me right now. "What do you want, horseapple?"

Horseapple ... urgh.

"I want to talk to her, Rising. I did a mistake, yes, but I was-"

"Shut up! Drunk or not, that wasn't right! You broke her heart! Come on Star, let's get ready ..." Star, still looking away nods, before they both start walking again. I try to follow, but fall on my face, when somepony stomps on my tail. "Ouch, hey! Applejack?"

Looking behind me stands the orange farm mare Applejack. To my surprise however, she doesn't look really mad. "Hey, sugarcube ..."

"H-Hey, AJ ..." I stand up, looking to her apologizing. "AJ, I'm sorry, I-"

She puts her hoof on my muzzle. "We need to talk. In private."

I only nod, following her to her farm. When we reach the barn, she turns around and sighs. "I shouldn't had done that. I should know by now, where ma limits are, but still drank too much ... It's all my fault ..."

"No, it's mine. We both were drunk, yes, but I was the one who almost accept the *offer*. And I kinda have still feelings for you, since Manehattan so many years ago ... I saw you walking around, must been before you got your cutie mark. Even tough we never talked back then, I recently realized that it must be you, so my old feelings came up all of the sudden. And then yesterday, you offering me, beeing drunk, with my old feelings ... I screw up everything. I'm the biggest idiot in pony history ..."

"Hey, nothin' happened. We both are fault for this. We both made mistakes." I glare at her. "But you have to live with that for a while, I broke somepony's heart, somepony who's allready fragile! Just think about what she would do, if Rising wouldn't be here!"

To make her realize what I mean, I then slowly slide my hoof over my neck. She winces. "Mayby she is listening, when we both try together? We can try ..."

"Alright, I will come with ya to talk to her. I hope she gives ya another chance. And we both might try to avoid each other as often possible for the best." I blink. "Were working on the same place."

"Oh, right." I chuckle sadly. "What irony ... alright, let's go."

She nods and we both walk back to town. As we reach Ponyville, everypony is staring at me again. I got it already, I'm worser then a changeling!

"Sugarcube, look." AJ points too two ponies, walking straight to the train station with several travel bags ... Rising and Star?!

"Star!" We both run to them, before a blast hits me in the face, crashing me against one of Ponyville's house walls. I groan in pain, as a plant pot falls on my head, almost knocking me uncouncious. AJ helps me about. I shake my head, looking at the other two. Rising glares at me, but for what is shocking to me is Star. She glares to me with all hate, her horn glowing. "Get out of my live! I never want to see you again!"

I gulp, my body is shaking. "S-Star, please, listen ..."

"It's you or me, Light! Leave or I leave!" AJ walks to her. "Hey, listen Star. We were drunk and he had feelings for me in the past-"

"AJ, no, don't-"

"What?! You cheated on me the whole time too?! You lusty perverted flankhole!" She shoots again at me that barely missed me. Before I could even say something again, she teleports away with Rising. "Star! Wait!"

I stand up, running to the train station. When I reach the station, the train just started moving. "Wait!"

Of course the train doesn't stop. "No ... please just listen ... please .... Star ..."

What have I done ...

"Such a disgusting pony you are." A stallion looks at me, shaking his head. "Such scum like you should be in a dungeon, not-argh!"

"SHUT UP!" I slam him to the ground, pressing my hooves on his neck, choking him. "Shutupshutupshutup!"

Suddenly somepony pulls me away. "What in tarnation ya think ya doing?!"

"Leave me alone, all of you!" BOOM!

"What was that?!" I look up to the location of the explosion, seeing fire in the distance ... THE TRAIN!

"Oh no! Rising! Star!" I instinctly start running fast on the railway track, followed by Applejack. Short after we reach the wrecked train. The front wagoon is burning, giving me a bad feeling, while the rest of the train is fine, except for laying around the railway track. "Let's check the wagoons to see if everypony inside is fine!"

She nods and we both start looking trough every wagoon. Some ponies got lucky, just shocked and stunned, others where pretty hurted and in danger. One of those where Rising, but he is uncouncious right now. No sign of her ...

We both helping them out, luckily guards and few doctors came at the right time, caring for the hurted ponies. A guard walks to me. "What happened? Anypony dead?"

"The front wagoon is burning, I don't know if there where ponies, but if there was ..." The fire ponies come and start using magic to extinguish the fire. I hope there weren't anypony in this wagoon, hopefully not Star either ...

After a few minutes later, only smoke is left. They look inside, looking for any unlucky ponies, but nothing. "All clean, nopony here."

Thank Celestia ... wait, where is Star?

"Sugarcube? I found this in one of the wagoons." AJ shows me a note. I take it and start reading it for myself.

Missed me? It's me, your lovely unicorn mare. You tought I give just up after killing Lighning? You better had accepted your faith back then, instead of escaping me and killing him. Oh dear, now you make everything worser for you, your family and your friends. Believe me, you will suffer ... except you come near the Colt Beach in Manehattan and give up. Then we let that Star go back home. If not ... bye bye~ <3

My body shivers hard, tears running down. "I-I need to go ..."

"Why? Somepony ponynapped her?" Before I could reply, the guards pushing me to the ground. "Enough is enough, Mr. Runner. Recently everything bad here has somehow to do with you. We bring you to the princess for your punishment!"

"W-What?! Ouch, hey, I have nothing to do with this!" They put hoofcuffs on me. "Oh really? We saw what happened in Ponyville and short after the train with her crashes!"

"I wasn't even there-"

"Who says your working alone?" I open my muzzle to say something, but get gagged suddenly. "Enough time to talk when you meet the princess."

I look to AJ, who seems as surprised as me, before I get dragged away, back to Ponyville ...

"This doesn't become a thing now, or Light?" Still in hoofcuffs, I look to Twilight, sitting in front of me. "I already said, I have nothing to do with the train."

"Yeah, he was with me all the time." AJ replies, sitting next to me. "I believe you, Light. Don't worry, but after all what happened, the rest doesn't. Not even some of my best friends are sure about you anymore. You might stay here for a while."

This is my fight ... my destiny ... I need to kick that unicorn by myself ... for Star ... and nopony will stop me.

"No. I go back to my parents to Manehattan. This place is made for me. There I can shut myself off from all the trouble, kill or be killed is the destiny there. I never should had leave there ..." They look worried to me. "Are you sure? You can stay in the castle."

"Your a princess, you have enough trouble. Just escort me to Manehattan *to get sure I don't do anything stupid* and leave me alone then ..." She shakes her head. "I can't let you leave here now or they think you planning there something."

"True ... but your the princess. If you say so, they will accept it." She frowns. "I hope your not doing anything stupid ... fine. I will give you guards until Manehattan's train station, from there you are on your own."

I nod, standing up, before, she grabs my hoof in surprise, looking at me. "Please stay out of trouble, but ... if you find out anything about those that doing all of this, tell me first, okay? No need doing things on your own."

I nod, before walking out, followed by her guards ...

Nopony will stop me ... nopony ... they used and ponynapped Sky, they tied me and ponynapped me too, they tried to kill me and now they blow up a train to ponynap Star. And everypony thinks it's my fault, that I'm responsible for this. Time to end this madness, that unicorn must die ...

"Next station Maaaanehataaan. Don't forget your stuff and have a wonderful day!" The guards lead me out of the train. "Your on your own now, the princess won't be so easy on you next zime, remember that."

I nod as they walk to the train in Ponyville's direction. Back to the roots, where my life started ...

And once again I feel everypony staring at me. Unlike I said, I don't walk back to my parents place. I directly walk to the beach. Luckily the part I used to live in isn't in my way to the beach. Tough since the incident back then, they are all to scared to bully me anyway.

After a long walk, I finally reach the beach. The weather here is cloudy, so nopony is really here right now. I start walking on the beach to look out for her. Further away from the city, there is a area rather hidden. I climb up therocks in the way and land on the other side of the rocks. big rocks all around, so nopony from outside sees him here. Perfect place.

"You dirty whorse is here, right?" As on word, she appears per teleportation, grinning wide and a tied and gagged Star. When she notices me, she starts to struggle, her eyes having a *Help me*-expression. "You really came, a stallion of honor I see."

"Just shut up and give her back! And I swear, if you did anything to her ..." She chuckles. "You came, no need for her anymore. Now give up and come with me."

I sigh and slowly walk to her until I stand with her face to face. "Here, now let her go."

"Nope." She chuckles, her horn glows, but before any spell is spoken, I slam my hoof into her face. She gasps in surprise, when I already pushes her to the ground, repeatly slamming my hoof on her horn. She gasps and kicks me from her hard, before levitating me up and slamming me against one of the rocks, that cracks by the impact. I groan in pain, falling to the sandy ground. I feel something approaching me fast and roll to the side, avoiding a magic beam from her. Standing fast up on my hooves I dodge another shoot, using my agility to dodge her shoots, before slamming myself on her, pushing her into another rock hard. I slam her then to the ground, choking her. She gasps and gags, blood over her face and then ... chuckles. "Haha ... urgh ... your like us ... hehe ... natural killer."

"What?" The moment I stopped she teleports away ... and doesn't reappears again. What did she mean?

"MPFHH!" I look to Star and run to her, untying and ungagging her. She gasps, breathing air, before taking me into a hug. "T-Thank you ..."

"No thanks, you okay? Did she done anything?" She shakes her head. "Nope, except for ponynapping me. Where is Rising?"

"Ponyville hospital, he should be fine sooner or later." She nods, standing up. "I go now back, need to see him."

"Wait, are we-"

"No. I really am thankful you risked your life to save me, but I can't forget what you did. I'm not mad at you, but I can't easily forget that either. You might have a better chance with her then me now. Just stop thinking about me, okay?" She pulls the horn-blocker off, a ring that blocks unicorn magic, before teleporting away. "Star ..."

I should go home ... for real this time ... no reason to go back to Ponyville right now. Staying here, find her hiding place and kill the unicorn.

I stand up, slowly walking back to the main beach and then, for real, to where I used to live. "I'm sure my parents still trusts me ..."

Oh dear, now you make everything worser for you, your family and your friends. Believe me, you will suffer ... except you come near the Colt Beach in Manehattan and give up.

... worser for you, your family and your friends. Believe me ...

Believe me ...

My eyes widen, running to my parents house. I feel ponies starring at me, but no time to care. When I reach the door, I see a letter in front of it. Adressed to me, I feel my heart pumping in fear, slowly taking out the letter from it.

I warned you, but you didn't listen. Now you pay ;)
- Your lovely unicorn slut, Blood Lust~

My body shakes like crazy, slowly looking to the photo under the letter. My eyes widen, tears running down, as I watch the photo with my dead, slaughtered parents. No ... nonono ... NOOO!

My body shakes as never before, losing grip on the letter that then magically bursts into flames. I turn around, tears running down and slowly walk away from the house. Ponies look at me, but for once confused then angry. My lips shivers as I throw up on the ground, before my body loses control, falling uncouncious to the ground, the only thing left hearing is Blood's laugh, over and over again ...

Chapter 13: Hunting for Blood

---------------------------------Somewhere, in an unknown place ...------------------------------

"This fricking little pamperpooper!" She kicks a bottle of water to the ground. "I can't believe, that flankhole almost killed me! Why won't he just give in to his fate!"

She takes a deep breath before sighing. "Calm down, Blood. He doesn't even seem to know his powers. I just need to get him, possible without somepony noticing ... a plan to get him ... I got it!"

Grinning in victory, her horn glows. "Crystal? I need you ..."

"Good morning, Mr. Runner, how do you feel?" I slowly look to the doctor, staying quiet. "We checked you up, but nothing. Why did you throw up and fell uncouncious out of nowhere?"

I still keep my muzzle shut. Right now I only want one thing. You gonna die painfully, Blood ...

"Mr. Runner, if you keep beeing silent, we can't help you. Everything is fine with your body, blood and so on. There is no medical reason to keep you in hospital." I sigh, looking into the doctors eyes. "I'm fine. Can I leave?"

"If your sure, then you can go-" I look up as two police ponies walking into the room. "Light Runner, right?"

"Yeah, what now? Throwing me in a cell?" They look confused. "Why should we do that? Unless you killed your parents."

I wince, getting sick again from the picture I saw. "No, b-but this Blood is fault."

"Blood Lust? The name we found in the letter next to your uncouncious body?" I nod. "Yes. She is a danger for everypony. She needs to be stopped as fast as possible."

"You met her before?" I nod again. "You heard about the incident I disappeared? Before the train station fight I met her before. Grey unicorn mare with red eyes and black mane and tail. Didn't really had the mind looking what's her cutie mark is."

"Red eyes are usually a sign for a batpony. The name isn't that surprising either then. We will look for her. Should we protect you, you seem to be her target." I shake my head annoyed. "I can watch over myself, just find her ..."

"We will, good luck." They nod before walking out, the doctor looking at me again. "Still want to leave?"

"Yes. Thanks for keeping me when I was uncouncious." The doctor nods, walking out. I stand up from my hospital bed. Time to visit them ...

----------------------------------------3 hours later----------------------------------------

My parents always prefered a simple life.

I look down at the square formed grave stone. My mother only got 47, my dad 52 years old. "They were innocent, why taking there lives away, you whore ..."

My parents always cared for me. No matter how rough the situations where in the past, when we three hold together, nopony could get a hoof on us. They helped me getting trough the trauma of the incident on that roof. They cared my wounds, when I ended fighting again. I was the pony that did things wrong, not them!

"You told me once, before leaving to Ponyville, that you both are sure, my life can only get better out of this place. That you are sure, I find a job, a marefriend, a life worth living for. That you're proud of me ... In my flank. My life just keeps getting worser each day. Ponies hunting me, I have nopony really believing me anymore, I lost my job and the mares I loved are dead, hating me or are disapointed! Mayby I should kill myself, if they need me alive, they lose there chance and nopony has to bother about me anymore ..." I fall on my body, starting to cry for what seemed to be days. Get rid of myself, that's the best for everypony ...

----------------------------------Evening------------------------------------

Everfree Forest ... getting chumped up by one of those creatures. Nopony would miss me anyway. The only thing Bloodwill get from me are my bones.

I take a deep breath before walking out of the train, back to my place, Ponyville. But I'm not here to talk, make friendship or sleep in my bed. No, my target is the Everfree Forest, deep within. "Hey, you scum!"

Before I could even look, who was talking, I get pushed into a puddle of mud and water, apparently it rained here not long ago before arriving. I spit out some of it that got in my throat, coughing for air ... before a hoof presses me right back into the mud. "Dare even take one step in here?"

He pulls me backwards and throws me on my back. I see only a few ponies outside at this time and those that are seem to not be sure if to help me or not. Don't blame them.

"What are you going to do now, fight me? Kill me?" I look finally up to the stallion. I never saw him in Ponyville before, but still he looks familiar ... "Your parents where good friends of mine, bastard and you killed them!"

That's where my mind snaps ... in two ways. I do remember him, he was one of the bullies, no, the brother of the bully that I killed on the roof and good friended with my parents. "I didn't killed them!"

The other way my mind snaps is saying I did it. "Oh really?"

And a punch on my face. But my anger is already at maximum. I spit him in the face. "Come here, tough flank!"

Before he givesanother punch, I use my position to kick up my hindleg right between his hind legs. He growls in pain, falling on my side and holding himself there. Then I stand up and grab the smaller stallion, throwing him trough a window of some flower shop, directly following him trough the broken window. "I'm sorry!"

I stand above him by now, looking down at the scared stallion. What am I doing ...

I back away, confused what gotten into me, before getting kicked at my belly. I fall near the broken window, cutting myself on my back by the broken glass pieces. Before I could do anything, I feel more and more kicks on my body. I almost go uncouncious, hoping for him to just end me, looking back to what I originally planned. But one thing was about to change that tough. "Greetings from Blood."

My eyes shot open, only hearing that name fills my mind with nothing but pain, the moment the stallion realizes my expression, it's already too late. He didn't saw it coming, when I grabbed one of the glass splitter and hit him in the eye. He cries in pain, holding his destroyed and bleeding eye, but I don't care anymore. I take a knife nearby from the counter table. The one tearing eye of the stallion widens, before I ram it right at his neck. As he gurgles his last breaths out, I keep ramming it in his neck, over and over again. Stopping I shakily stand up, my body calming down as my brain starts realizing, what just happened. I look down at the blood soaked body of the now dead stallion before falling on my flank, looking at my own blood soaken hooves. What have I do-

A pretty painful hit on my head is the last I feel before getting uncouncious.

-------------------------------------------------------------3 days later-------------------------------------------------------------------

"Guilty as charged!"

"You monster!"

"I never tought that from you..."

"Terrible beeing!"

"He should get killed!"

Here I am. Imprisioned for murdering. Life long. Even the death of my parents are blamed on me now, making it look like I wrote that letter and not Blood ...

I was told guilty while I was still uncouncious, bastards not giving me a chance to explain. But they are right, I killed him. No accident like the train station. No real self defense accident like with his brother. I killed him, I alone, reason or not. With my bare hooves. I feel like going crazy...

3 days I do nothing but laying in my hard bed, in my dark, underground cell. The only way getting in and out is that old, loud metallic door out of the cell. Too dangerous to eat in the cafteria, getting my food teleported in. I'm not hungry. I'm not thirsty. Just laying here, to finally die, as everypony wants me too. Just closing my eyes, drifting away ...

I open my eyes, when I hear the door open, the first time since I got here. "Congratulations Runner, you got a new friend for flank-bucking. She behaved so well, until hours ago."

I look lazily to the door, as a mare get's kicked inside, before the door closes again. I'm a bit surprised, because this mare doesn't even look like bad. She growls annoyed before noticing me. "Oh, hey."

"Uh, hi?" She looks at me, before lifting me up with her hoovesand throw me to the ground. "Urgh, stallion musk on my bed."

"Yeah, nice to meet you too." I groan, rubbing my head before standing up from the ground. "Who are you?"

"Just an idiot, who believed Blood." My eyes widen, but the way she sounded, she seems hating her too. "You know her personally?"

She looks at me, realizing who I am. "Light Runner, eh? I heard about you. Be lucky your here, not easy getting you inside the cell."

"Not planning to leave, planning to rot here for all I care." She raises an eyebrow. "After all she did, you just wait and see?"

"I have enough as it is. Nopony believes me anymore. Why should I bother?" She sighs and stands up from the bed. "Because I know, you can stop her. We just need to get out of here, I know the hiding spot. I help you. This will end today."

My ears go up, when I hear hiding spot. "You know her place?"

Mayby there is hope to proof I was right. Might be my last chance.

"Yeah, and I know how to get out of here. It WAS afterall my cell before." She looks under the bed, letting out a cheer. "Like a hole in the wall I made before."

I look down too, seeing a hole. My eyes widen. "So, you coming?"

"Nothing to lose, of course." We both crawl under the bed and through the hole. "This prison was build over 150 years ago. Security is still high, but they don't really expect the secret ways inside. Celestia let it get build in the first place, but the corrupted guards never told her about those secret ways. Had to hump my way trough the prison guards for those informations. Too make sure the secret exits get found, they lead from the prison to the Everfree. Guess we just walk, until were out."

This mare knows her ways ... I should be careful.

Walking the barely lighted way, we sooner or later reach a little ladder that goes upwards. "That's must be the exit." She starts climbing up as I follow her, having a good view from under her tail. She opens the trapdoor and walks out, followed by me. And she was right. This is definitly the Everfree Forest.

I close the trapdoor and look around, but she already sneaks ahead of me. I follow her trough the darkness and trees.

It was quiet a walk, but I was just glad, no monster attacked us. "Careful now, we are near the cave from her."

I nod and quietly following her. I feel already the passion to rip Blood's head off, when I feel suddenly sleepy. The last thing I see is the mare grinning. "My name is Crystal by the way."

I fall asleep ...

"Unghhh..."

"Awake? Good, doesn't make fun if sleeping." I open my eyes slowly, before getting slapped on my cheek. "You have no idea how much I want to cut you to death, but I need you unfortunalty ..."

Looking I see the glaring face from Blood in front of me. In reaction, I try to punch her, but my hooves are bounded on my back. Bad bounded...

"You ..." She grins. "Liked my gift? Your parents cries and screams are still music to my ears. It feels so refreshing, sucking there "life" off while murdering them."

She chuckles as I glare hard, spitting in her dirty muzzle. She gags a bit in surprise before swallowing it down. She grabs a knife and slides it slowly on my cheek. I wince in pain as she pulls away harshly, leaving a long, bleeding cut on my cheek. "Blood ..."

I look to the familiar voice, seeing Crystal near a door. "Careful."

"I'm still commanding here, you do as I say!" She winces, but backs away as a sign of not going to interupt her again. I use the opportunity to get my hooves free from the rope. Whoever of those two bound me, they suck at it.

"Well, well, where was I?" She raises the knife up again, when I surprise her with a big punch on her ugly face. Letting the knife fall, I pick it up and ram it right into her guts, in hope, the inner bleeding would end her. But right know, I need to leave, not to fight. Tell Twilight. I run to the door, when Crystal tries to stop me. But she seems not the fighter type, easily blocking her punch and hit her eye. He then opens the door and runs out.

Running ... must ... keep ... running ... tired ... hungry ... thirsty ...

I keep running, the wll to end this keeping me strong enough to keep going. I must get out of this labyrinth called Everfree Forest. It's gonna be hard earning Twi's trust to listen, but they have to believe me ...

Finally, I see light. I run out, but not stopping yet. Running to Ponyville. The moment I reach Ponyville, I immediately get thrown to the ground by two guards. "Princess!"

Ponies scream in shock, seeing me, the killer. Twilight runs to them and when seeing me, her horn directly lt up. "No, Twilight, please! Listen! I found her, I got her, believe me!"

"I trusted you enough and this time you actually killed a pony! No more-"

"Twilight." She stops, looking at the talking pony. Applejack looks to her. "Look at him. I can not deny him killing a pony, but right now, he looks like having a rough time. And his cut doesn't look like from fleeing. He tells the truth, besides, why running all the way here after escaping? At least let him talk out first and then decide."

"Urgh, fine. Your the one to blame tough, if he lies." She sighs and nods. "Very well, tell your lies."

"Blood is real darn it. She is in a cave in the Everfree, use some hoof print spell or something to track there and see yourself. She's probably dying right now, she has an assistant too, Crystal." Twilight stops him. "The other escaping prisoner?"

"Yes, tough I doubt she ever really was one. She told me even she worked for Blood, but wanted to take revenge too. She however knew quiet well a secret way out and when reaching the cave, I fell asleep, waking up bounded. She wanted to torture me, but she can't kill me, because apparently they need me alive. I stabbed her guts and punched down Crystal and escaped. Fast, before they escape!"

"Alright, we will directly head to the place. We see if you lied or not then." Her horn glows and short after I see my hoof prints bright as the day, leading to where I came. Then she lifts me up with her magic and starts following my way back to the Everfree Forest. The two guards and Applejack following.

It took a little, but sooner or later we reach the cave. But all for nothing. The cave collapsed. NonononononononononoNO!

"Well, well, well, what a surprise. You get personally arrested my dear. In Canterlot dungeon." I wince. Why is everything against me-

"Look!" Applejack points out more hoof steps and a bit of blood. "Look, those are fresher then his! But they end short after ..."

"Teleportation." Twilight sighs, looking at me. "I really, REALLY don't like to say it ... but you might told the truth. Still, your stay in my place, under my eyes, until we are clear to say. And you still killed a stallion-"

"-that told me, he works for Blood." Twilight rolls her eyes. "Until you somehow can proof that, I can't trust you about that. Your like some surprise bag. The one moment you help where you can, the friendly pony and saving a life at your own risk, the next you are like a psychopath, killing a pony and escaping prison. Sorry if I can't trust you right after again. Let's go."

We all moved back to Ponyville, well they did, I still got levitated ...

--------------------------------------------------Shortly before leaving to the Everfree Forest--------------------------------------------

Derpy was playing with her daughter, when she hears screaming. Walking out of her home, she sees her old friend and ex-work buddy Light pinned down by guards. Watching the scene, she listens to the conversation, until the mentioning of some hideout. "No ..."

When the group starts moving to the Everfree, Derpy closes her eyes. Mistress Blood, they are coming back, you okay?

I'm fine, fine ... bucking flankhole, but I don't die that easily ... Crystal also was quiet helpful, repairing the damage on me. Stupid mare, not realizing she was just waste if not needed anymore. Well, for future production, she is still useful. But I told you to talk only if nece-

Light was here and there moving to your place! Get out of there!

Darn Everfree, scary ponies as buck, but useless getting rid of one, gah! Thanks for the warning, more useful then Crystal. On my way to the real home.

Derpy sighs in release, walking back to the worried looking pony, known as her daughter. "Don't worry, all is fine."

Chapter 14: The Magic Inside

Somewhere hidden from the normal eye...

"BUCK IT!" Blood kicks the chair trough the cave. "That motherbucking stallion! I swear, if we didn't need him ..."

She winces from the wound and slowly calming down. "A knife. Pfft, if he believes a stupid knife will kill me, then he doesn't know me ..."

"Calm down, Blood, this dude makes you crazy." Blood slowly turns to Crystal with a glare that could kill. "You did nothing so far!"

"What?!" Crystal looks annoyed. "I brought him to you-"

"And you let him escape!" Crystal rolls her eyes. "Why do we need him again?"

"He, magic." Crystal raises an eyebrow. "Seriously? We are on Equus, a planet whole with mag-"

"Antic magic. Magic, where Celestia and Luna mixed looks like a fluffy puppy. With that we ... I will take over. The princesses will cry in pain, that chaos god Discord would bag for death, even my mother would pleaded to join me ... I don't care anymore, what *she* wants, once I get him again, I take it forcely from him." She looks back at Crystal, who looks nervous now. "Afraid? Good, because traitors and failures will pay too, started with youuu ..."

A letter pops up in front of her, stopping Blood. "Urgh, what now?"

She opens the letter:
Dear Blood,

WHAT. THE. BUCK?!
Are you that stupid to get a bucking earth pony who barely even knows about the antic magic inside him?! If you keep failing like that, everypony will know about us! Calm your horses and concentrate darn it! Last chance, seriously. Another failure and you know what happens to your family. And DON'T think of betraying me or I personally make sure you beg to die as horrible as possible. Anyway, I just received some useful notes from my intel team. Looks like Twilight's *dead* lover isn't as dead as they say. In hope mayby getting his magic extracted to use, they found out, that his grave is empty. Now we found him, disguised as a different pony. I have a picture added to the mail with his new appearance. If you suck at getting Light, get him at least. Mayby you can extract the lucid dream magic from him. If not, kill him. An emotional hurted princess can be strong and weak the same. We can't wait too long anymore. Do not dissapoint me, Blood. I didn't let you join to fail us.
-L.H.

"Hmpff. I indeed will extract his powers, but not for you, Lyly." Blood takes the picture from the stallion, with his name written on it. "So, what next?"

"Next? You will stay here. Forever." Crystal nervously gulps. "F-Forever?"

Blood smiles untypically, but Crystal knows her smile. It's not friendly. "Do not worry my dear, you will have an use for me, I'm not killing you ... But you wished I would."

Her smile forms to a grin, licking her lips. "And I am sure, my family is happy about my decision."

"No ..." Crystal backs away, only to bump against a wall. "I swear, Blood, I won't fail again!"

"Ohhh, I'm sure you won't." Blood says in a singing tone, as hissing sounds coming from the dark ceiling. "We make sure."

Crystal's body is shaking in fear, looking at the glowing eyes from the dark ceiling. Not two eyes, but at least hundreds looking down at her. "B-Blood, please, we are friends, I never-"

"Shhhhh ..." Blood holds her hoof on Crystal's muzzle. "I make sure, they go gentle on you."

She grins, before turning around to pack her stuff. "You heard, guys? Gentle. We don't need her dead."

"Blood, please ..." Blood let out a hiss. "I don't need friends anyway. We aren't here to make friends. You where just a food ressource-"

In a green flash, her appearance is that from a young colt, blue eyes, red fur and yellow mane and tail. "- of love."

"B-But Blood ..." Blood starts walking to the exit of the cave, looking back once more. "Be honored, Crystal. You got the rank of a breeding mare for our species. Soon we will once more rule over this land. Enjoy."

With that she blow the fire next to the exit off, making the cave completly pitch black dark. Reaching the bridge, she hears cries and hisses from behind. "Congratulations, Crystal. Your will be a great mother of hundreds of my Changelings."

"Chekmate!" Spike jumps up in victory. "Finally, victoryyy!"

Twilight smiles from the distance over Spike's victory in chess. Tough her eyes are more on the opponent from him. Light Runner sits on the opposite, sighing. "I told you, I suck at it. And I have other worries."

"I know, dude. But AJ believes you, so I do too." I sigh again. "Does that even matter anyway? Only cause like 2 ponies, from which one isn't even a pony, do, doesn't change the others. I never can live normal again, especially if that crazy pony is still out there. I'm a killer."

"We all make mistak-" Twilight walks in to interrupt Spike. "Mistakes? He is a international threat!"

"Twilight, you really think that?" Before Twilight answers, I interupt this time. "She's right. I killed that stallion. Even tough he told me, he works for her. Mayby I do go crazy and think stuff up ..."

"The only reason your under my eyes and not in dungeon is because I trust my friend. When Applejack says, you tell truth, then I believe her. Besides if she exists, and trough Black Star, I know she does, then she is dangerous too. But I can't let you out without one of us watching over you." I sigh again, looking pissed to her. "I. Know."

"Sorry. Anyway, AJ wanted a talk with you, let's go."

"I miss Twilight ..." The stallion looks to the ceiling, bored in his bed. At least somepony suddenly knocks on his door. "Since when do I have visitors?"

Walking down the stairs, he opens the door, looking at the sand street of Appleoosa. "Urgh, those kiddi-"

"Uhm, m-mister?" He looks down, seeing a little colt. "Thou has nummies for my tummy?"

He blinks before nodding. "Sure, come in."

The colt squees, running inside before the stallion closes the door. That will be his last moment of life, before realizing, the colt isn't who it seems...

"I'm glad, AJ let me still working in the farm." Twilight rolls her eyes. "Good for you. Let's get-"

They get interupted, as Spike burps out a letter. Twilight looks confused. "Who is it?"

Spike looks at the briefcase. "No name, but the adress is from Appleoosa."

"Sweet?" I look to them confused. "Who is Sweet?"

"Nothing!" She grabs the letter excited, but wondering why he writes on a friday, not as usual monday. She opens and start reading for herself. I look still confused but realize fast that something isn't right. Her cheery grin turns fast into a dark frown. "No..."

"Twilight?" Spike looks worried to her, before picking up the letter and reading trough, getting the same expression as Twilight, what makes me worried too. "What's wrong?"

Twilight slowly looks to him, but her expression is hard to tell. Like a mix of hate, hurt, sadness and apologizes. "Looks like you might told the truth ..."

She then teleports away. Spike blinks. "Oh shout... Let's get the others."

"Can somepony tell me what happened?" Spike looks to him sadly. "Looks like your *friend* started to go on others then just you."

"Huh?" I look just more confused.

"Blood killed Sweetful Dream and the princesses will be next."

"Yes, I lied to most of you about him. For his own safety. He is the father of my unborn foal." I look in surprise, as does the other five elements of harmony. Only Rising and Star sitting with sad and shocked expressions. "I will look for her. I will find her. And I will kill her."

"So where are we going?" I stand up, knowing her feelings right now to well. "Appleoosa. Preying she is lying and he is fine."

Knowing Blood, he is dead for sure...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------Evening---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Before the train stops at Appleoosa, Twilight jumps immediately out, running to the adress. "Sweeet! Watch out! Sweeeet!"

The ponies look at the purple pony princess screaming like crazy in confusion. I and the rest follow shortly after. Twilight reaches the house and blasts the door open. "SWEEEEEET!"

We follow and together checking room for room. No sign, no response.

As we then slowly walk to the basement, pictures of my dead parents come back to mind. "Twilight, expect the worse. You sure you want look ins-"

"Shut up!" She blasts the door open and jumps down. The others immediatelywant to follow, but I stop them. "If he is dead and she did nearly what she did with my parents, believe me, you DON't wanna see ..."

They wait for a while, before hearing Twilight. "Out."

"Twilight?" Spike looks worried. "Twilight, is he-"

"OOOOOUUUUUUTTTTTTTT!!!"

We jump in shock and immediately run out of the building. Looking back, with other curious ponies, we only see the houseslowly glowing, before it explodes in millions of pieces. Poor Twilight...

We see Twilight jumping out from the hole, with an expression that could kill dead ponies again. Her horn and wings are glowing bright as does her eyes, a purple aura surrounding her. "WHERE! IS! BLOOD!"

The curious ponies run away in fear, but we standed still. It is Spike who does the first step towards Twilight. "STAY AWAY SPIKE!"

Instead, the other 5 friends of her doing the same, approaching the raging princess. I, Rising and Star stay, watching what will happen next.

"DON'T COME CLOSE-" They all reach and hugs her tightly. I can see her body twitching, her glowing eyes tearing before the glowing end, leaving 6 friends and a crying princess behind. I notice Rising and Star hugging each other sadly. But I just stay, alone. The same words ringing trough my head: War.
--------------------------------------------------------------Next day, Ponyville-------------------------------------------------------------

"I'm really sorry, Light. I had no idea how diabolic she is." I shake my hoof lazily. "It's fine ..."

"I guess..." I sigh and walk to her. "It's not your fault. I might reacted the same to somepony making trouble everywhere. So much is happining, all because of the will of a single mare. She wants me, she won't get me, so she goes crazy. If there is fault, then me. Because of me everypony could be in danger. Why was I born again?"

A knock on the door gets there attention. Twilight opens the door to see a doctor. "Hello, princess. Mr. Runner here?"

I look up. "Here."

"We researched the corpse of Sky Love to find she was pregnant. Not long, but still." I groan in annoyance. "That topic now? Seriously? That buck up pony-gryphon wonderbolt told me while tied up in a bed. Thanks for the reminder, for bucks sak-"

"The DNA is clearly yours. We did found trails of him there, but the egg itself was clearly with your DNA impregnated. Must been only a few days or so old before her death." I just sit there in shock. "S-So she had m-m foal in her? H-He lied to me on pu-purpose... Why me, why me, why me, why me ..."

My body shakes, my eyes turn red as my body glows white. "Why me, me, ME!"

I shoot with my magic a hole in the wall, before collapsing to the ground, crying as the glowing disappears again. "How?"

I look up to her, my head hurting like Tartarus. "What..."

"I want to research that. An Earth pony with such a high magic isn't normal, Light. Your outburst could aalso indicating, why they are hunting you ..." I look at her. "Why not you then, your a princess."

"Simple. Some antic magic can be more powerful then 10 alicorns together." Antic?

"If you can control it, nothing could stop you. That might explain some stuff. Why they want you, why you disappeared in a near death situation, your anger outbreaks. The question is, why they want it? To control Equestria? Or something worse?" I slowly stand up. "Fine, check me."

"Thank you."

So that's what they might want from me ... antic magic ... it would make sense ...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Soon we found out, that she was friends with another pony ... you. Thunder mentioned, that something on you is ... different. Something that makes you different from anypony else. But he couldn't explain why exactly. To test something, I told him, that he has to bring blood from you. How he does it, was his own thing. That happened then on Monday, where you and Sky nearly fell in love for each other. He beated you until you bleeded, and then took some of your blood. He then brought you to the hospital, afterall, if we think what we think, then you are very important. We tested your blood then, Light. And that's when we finally found the pony, that we were looking for."
-----------------------------
"It happened only a short while ago, when he mentioned, that there was something different about you."
-----------------------------
And that makes me even more happy, while I still punch his life out of him. I feel pleasure to see him dying but ... also something else inside me ... something strange. I shake my head and going to continue, but then I hear a noise in the distance ... a loud noise. The same noise that is heard, when a train is coming very close ...
-----------------------------
Again a strange feeling comes into me. "Give up and you stay alive!"
I slowly turn around, angry and sad at the same time, tears running from my eyes. "Are you that stupid?!"
"We warned you." The feeling gets stronger ... like before I landed here.
------------------------------
"Sugarcube? I found this in one of the wagoons." AJ shows me a note. I take it and start reading it for myself.
Missed me? It's me, your lovely unicorn mare. You tought I give just up after killing Lighning? You better had accepted your faith back then, instead of escaping me and killing him. Oh dear, now you make everything worser for you, your family and your friends. Believe me, you will suffer ... except you come near the Colt Beach in Manehattan and give up. Then we let that Star go back home. If not ... bye bye~ <3
------------------------------
"Haha ... urgh ... your like us ... hehe ... natural killer."
------------------------------
My eyes shot open, only hearing that name fills my mind with nothing but pain, the moment the stallion realizes my expression, it's already too late. He didn't saw it coming, when I grabbed one of the glass splitter and hit him in the eye. He cries in pain, holding his destroyed and bleeding eye, but I don't care anymore. I take a knife nearby from the counter table. The one tearing eye of the stallion widens, before I ram it right at his neck. As he gurgles his last breaths out, I keep ramming it in his neck, over and over again. Stopping I shakily stand up, my body calming down as my brain starts realizing, what just happened. I look down at the blood soaked body of the now dead stallion before falling on my flank, looking at my own blood soaken hooves.
-------------------------------
He looks to me with a pleading face to help him.
I lower my head, while he gives me a hopeful face. But I take the knife from his hoof and smashing it into said hood. He cries out in pain, pulling his bleeding hoof again.
I raise my head with the knife, seeing his eyes widen in horror, as I slam the knife with all force in his other hoof. He cries - no screams - in pain and horror, as his hoof slipped of the edge, giving him no choice then to fall. I watch him fall, showing no emotion when his fall ended on the street.
There isn't much left of him, only blood and guts covering the street, ponies that where passing by screamed in horror and running away. Only now my body realizes what just happened. My eyes widen. I turn around, throwing up. I try to run, but my body went limb from the shock and blood lose. I fall on my back, looking up to the sunny sky, as my eyes closes.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mayby that does explain it.......

Chapter 15: Equestria Falling

"Okay, try to levitate the feather."

I am sitting in a chair, some kind of machines connected to my body and head. I concentrate with full concentration to levitate the feather, but after a minute I sigh. "The machine does notice something unnatural in your head when trying to use magic. However not strong enough to actually work. Something in your head is blocking you from it. Something that got rid of both times you almost got killed and yesterday. What I try to do is, that you learn it to control. The question is however, what exactly blocks your mind from your magic ..."

She puts the stuff from me, sighing. "Your magic is powerful. It can be a great help... or our biggest doom."

"I know, just ... I don't know how." She nods to me. "Mayby the princess knows more. AJ wanted your help, you can go for now."

"No guarding me?" Spike waves to him. "Got it."

The walk trip to Applejack was very uncomfortable. The ponies are still nervous about all the things I did. Applejack waits already by some apple trees. "Ah hope ya hindhooves still buckin' good, Light."

"I hope too." She nods, leading me to some trees. "Not much of work today, just 10 of 'em."

"Let me guess, I do all of them?" She chuckles. "Nah. Equal five for each."

I nod and start bucking the first tree, managing some apples to fall in the busket. Spike leaned against an empty apple tree, watching. When I finished number 2 of 5, AJ already joined Spike, watching over me. Confused I look to her trees, only to see she's done already. I let out a loud groan, but surprised at how loud it actually sounded. "Light, watch out!"

Confused I turned around, only to get painfully hitted on my cheek, crashing against one of the full apple trees. Everything is bucking blurry, owww...

I hear screams and growls, but can't understand what exactly they are saying. I slowly stand up, but get thrown, by an orange blurr, to the ground, before hearing something crashing nearby. I shake my head to shake the doze off. Blinking few times I look directly in a wooden creature, face to face. TIMBERWOLVES!

It roars loud at me, before his face is getting kicked by Applejack. She then grabs a stone, but get smacked away from the Timberwolve. She crashes against a tree and then doesn't move. "AJ?! Spike?!"

Looking for the little dragon, I see him uncouncious hanging on a branch of one tree. Before beeing able to do anything, I get thrown to the ground, the Timberwolve standing over me. It snaps at me but I grab both sides of the jaw, trying to give a bit more time keeping him away of making me food. I can see his maw's inside.Itry to keep it in distance but my hooves slowly getting limb, not able holding the jaw any longer. NO!

Giving more strength into it, it suddenly goes easier and easier, pressing it's jaw more and more open until-
CRACK!
The timberwolve jumps back from me, crying in pain before running away. As I look in my hooves I see myself holding the lower part of it's jaw. I blink in surprise, before running to Applejack, shaking her. "AJ?"

She groans, rubbing her head, before looking at me. She jumps in shock for a second, as she sees me holding the jaw under my own lower jaw, looking like, my lower jar is from the Thimberwolve. "H-How?"

"Magic. I feeled magic building up my hooves, breaking of it's jaw." She just looks stunned before chuckling. Istart chuckling too before hearing a voice nearby. "Uhm, guys? Somepony help me down?"

We chuckle more, AJ standing under the branch as I climb on her. "Come on pal, jump on my back."

Spike jumps on my back and then to the ground. "Hehe, looks like I *ride* a pony."

"As if that ever happened somewhere, shall Ah wear a saddle too?" We all three chuckling and I swear I hear a faint Pinkie chuckling and saying something about humans riding ponies. I shake my head, leaning against the tree. She sits down next to me. "Thanks."

"What are friends for?" She nods. "By the way, Ah got around town, managed to earn some ponies to let ya help 'em. Ah'll bethere to watch too, a chance building trust again."

"R-Really?" Before she could say something, I grab her into a big hug. "Thanky ..."

"How can a package be so heeeavvvyyy ..." My hooves are shaking and my back hurting, as I crawl my way trough Ponyville, on my back a big package that feels like 2 full grown Celestias sitting inside. I see my target tough, a building, a birthday party for some little colt called Rumble or something. I helped already a few ponies here and there, I doubt they trust me already. But since them it seems to be a better aura near me again.

I crawl trough the open door, collapsing finally. I push the package of my back. Everypony is looking at me, before the package comically explodes into confetti. "SURPRISE!"

Left behind was only Pinkie Pie ... HOW CAN SHE WEIGHT SO MUCH?!

Right ... she is just beeing Pinkie Pie.

AJ walks to me applauding. "Ya did great today."

"Thanky." I stretch myself, walking out to a tree nearby and leaning me on it. AJ follows me, leaning next to me. "Already tired?"

AJ looks at Light, but he doesn't seem to hear her anymore, directly fell asleep. AJsmiles, leaning on his body before drifting off herself ...

"Just 5 minutes, mom..." I shot my eyes open when I hear an explosion and screams. I was still leaning on the tree, but everything is burning. Ponies run around screaming in fear and pain,some running or rolling on the ground, burning alive. "What the-?"

I immediately stand up, running to the library that is still standing. I break trough the door only to wince at the sight of Twilightand Spike hanging dead on the ceiling, with the other elements. Turning back out guards standing there, already holding there spears. They make place for a shadow-formed pony approaching me. Red eyes glowing. Only as it stands right in front of me, I see who it is ... me.

Before doing anything else, it turns into a more mare-like shadow, wings and horn spreading out. "Keeeey, freee meeeee!"

I jump up, panting hard, only to realize that everything is like it should be in town ... just darker now. AJ looks at me worried. "Nightmare?"

It feeled so real ... dear Luna let it be a nightmare.

"Y-Yeah, terrible one..." I slowly calm down as a pony approaches us. It was Big MacIntosh. "Therewas a letter for ya."

AJ takes it, reading trough it. "It's cousin Braeburn. Want us visitting him."

I stand up, stretching myself. "Where does he live?"

"Appleoosa. Ya wanna come with us?" I nod. "Never was there before and I need a break from this town."

"Alright, Ah think in a half hour comes another train, should be there in da morning hours. Ya tell Twilight, Am here too watch over ya." I nod and make my way to the library. Twilight was still awake, so I told her. She just nodded before walking to bed.

A bit later we meet at the train station. "Where's your sis and granny?"

"Tomorrow's school again and somepony need to watch over ma sis." I nod. We then went into the train...

----------------------------------------------Canterlot Castle, at midnight-------------------------------------------

"Wake me up, if thou notice something suspicious." The batpony guards nod and salute to Princess Luna before she closes her bedroom door. The guards going there ways to guard around for the night. One of them is a experienced guard named Sharp Fang. It was his trick during the invasion of Canterlot, that no changeling found the night princess.

And still, the clueless guard next to him has no idea, that Sharp Fang is no more. Once the two are clearly alone in the gardens, hundreds of shadows overrun the poor newbie. Once hidden nearby and covered in green slime to not escape, the shadows salute to the other night guard, before said bursts in green flames, revealing Blood. "Stupid guards. We have the surprise effect on our side. Remember, I don't care what you do with anypony, just kill the princesses. This willl be the day, they shall fear me and us. And then Light better comes freely, because I won't stop until I got him or I die. My family and friends, you always stayed loyal to me, not all will survive today. But you all will be remembered. Chrysalis is a failure compared to me and once the ponies are history, we will continue with my mother's hive. Now go, show them who rules truly over Equestria!"

Loud cheering comes, before breaking apart to take out the princesses and everypony in the way. "Good..."

------------------------------------Appleoosa, in the morning--------------------------------------

"Soooo, how ya doin', cousin?" We sitting on a table, eating all sorts of apple products. "Am fine, Brae."

She stands up, walking to the door, probably to get the newspaper. I was just going over a delicious applepie, as a loud scream appears. AJ runs back in, smashing the newspaper on the table. "We gotta go Light!"

Confused we all read the main article, before I directly follow her.

CHAOS IN CANTERLOT: CHANGELINGS VS PONIES.
Celestia and Luna alive and fighting. Leader of the Changelings not Chrysalis this time. EVACUATE CANTERLOT!

Chapter 16: The True Plan Around Light Runner - Part 1

"Holy apples ..."

The train stopped hard, what cause all of us to hit the walls. I look outside, to see the bridge is collapse, making it impossible for any train to come and leave. But the heavier stuff lies beyond the bridge. Most buildings are burning, even parts of the castle. Ponies scream in terror. "Buck! Twilight, Rainbow, Flutters, Rising, help us get on the other side!"

The other elements, Rising and Star joined the train at Ponyville to help. The three pegasi took each one of us and flied them over while Twilight teleports the rest there, before joining again. "I bet my flank, that's Blood's doing."

"Why the changelings tough?" I shrug. "No idea, but hearing about that Chrysalis at the wedding, Iwouldn't be surprised if they work together."

"Chrysalis back and forth, she and her changelings didn't killed anypony back the-WATCH OUT!" Twilight pushes me away before blocking a green spell. A trio of changelings make then directly there attack. Twilight blasts them away easily, to my surprise however, the three don't look like they are still alive. Twilight's friends looking shocked. Fluttershy shivers hard. "D-Did you just-"

"If those buggers have to do anything with Blood, they don't deserve friendship. Also look around!" I start looking around to see her point. Several dead ponies laying around. "See? Let's get to the castle, find the princesses and get rid of this plague!"

We nervously nod and following Twilight. Some of Celestia's and Luna's guards fighting too, occasionally we get interrupted by few of the changelings. Twilight stayed merciless, killing every changeling in our way, while we just fight them uncouncious. Sooner or later we finally reach the main entrance of Canterlot Castle ... that is completly collapsed. Twilight however already flies trough a destroyed window nearby. Before we could think up how to follow we suddenly stand next to her in a hallway. Teleportation, I assume.

The inside of the castle doesn't look better then outside, wounded our dead guards, maids, teachers ... "What a massacre ..."

"Well look who finally joined the party." We all immediately turned around to see another changeling. She looked however not like just a drone. "Unfortunalty those two slutty princesses slipped away. They get what the deserve another day. Guess I care for you all then."

That voice ...

"Blood..." She looks at me, slowly applauding. "Wohoo, congrats, you got a point! Yeah, it's me, my real me. The stupid child of Chrysalis. What she failed, I do better myself. All this time I worked for idiots, no matter if my mother or that unicorn. But I will take this world and everypony shall suffer!"

Twilight's horn charges already, but I stopped her by asking more. "Why do you need me for this then?"

"Simple, your antic magic. They need this magic to make somepony return, a princess." Twilight immediately stops, her curiousity took over her lust for revenge. "A Princess?"

"Exactly." She immediately shoots at Twilight. Twilight looks surprised, but I manage to block the attack with a magic shield. Wait, how?!

"Looks like you got better with your magic, not bad. But useless. DIE PRINCES-ARGH!" A combined mix of golden and blue magic hits her, blowing her out of the castle. Shortly after Celestia and Luna landing next to them. "You all okay?"

"Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, thank Celestia you blow her into pieces." Celestia was just going to say something, when Luna interrupted. "She glowed green for a moment, protection spell."

I look immediately at the broken wall, no sign of her. "Darn it..."

"She got away?! GAH! I better hope the tracking spell works then. We will track her down and then-"

An explosion right next to us gets us all in surprise, catapultating us right of the castle. I manage to produce another shield, that helped us crashing safe enough to the ground. I immediately look up to the others. Star and Applejack where next to me whhen the explosion hit us and they look mostly fine, few scratches and burned fur, but alright. The others tough where closer to the explosion, looking more hurted. They all more or less stand up too tough, no death among us. Luna winces, seeing a changeling further away just blowing up with magic. "They kill themselves..."

I help AJ and Star up. Then I notice Twilight standing with pain written on her face. A hoof bends in the wrong angle and one of her wings seems damaged too. "MEDIC!"

"Appleoosa. Find her..." Twilight looks up too us from the bed. "You tree can make it,we are not in the, unghh ... condition to help."

"We will."

-------------------------------------3 hours after the end of the attack------------------------------------

And here we are, me, Applejack and Black Star, alone on our way to Appleoosa, to end this once and for all. We sleeped trough most of the train ride, collecting energy. Well, mostly Star.

Applejack snuggles up on me. I look to her. "Uhh."

"Sugarcube, ya know ya want it as much as I want too." She kisses my cheek, causing me to blush. "AJ, I don't think it's the right time to confess that you love me."

She pouts. "Better finally doin' so, then possibly never. Now don't be a colt and show ma, how much ya love me."

"Who says I love you? Well, I honestly do-mpfhh?" She kisses me right on the lips, stunning me for a second. I gently push her away. "AJ..."

"A finally tell ma love to ya and ya-" I shake my head. "I probably want this as much as you apparently want too, but..."

"A know with all the trouble right now, but it might be our last chance, who says we all get out alive?" I chuckle, kissing her cheek. "How long?"

"How long?" I nod. "Since when actually do you love me? Working with you in the farm?"

"Since I saw ya as a colt actually ..." I blink in surprise. "Why you never told me then?"

"A was too shy and then the whole thing with Star ..." I frown. "But know a think it's time to tell ya. Don't be mad."

"Why should I? Well, your kiss made me pretty eager now." She blinks, before smelling something. I blush when she looks at my cock hanging between my hind legs. "Well, almost there sugarcube. Show me how *fast* ya are."

I can't resist any more, pulling her down on the back and kissing her, sliding easily into her marehood, that is already wet. I pull back from our kiss, slowly starting to thrust in and out. And I pray that this will be my special somepony forever and that nothing will stop us. I keep thrusting until- "Nyahhhh..."

We groan together as I already fill her up inside. I frown a bit, I was too pent up, cumming faster then wanted. "Really now, sugarcube? A said fast, not 10 seconds flat."

"Sorrry...." We both look at each other ... and then starting to laugh.

----------------------Away from Appleoosa, in a forgotten village--------------------

"That must be it. According to Twilight, she must be here somewhere..." We three start looking around in the small village, but except for skulls and bones and dust, there was nothing. "Let me try something."

Star's horn glows, a magical wave surrounding the area. "There!"

She runs to ... sand. Seriou-

Her horn glows again, using it to open a trapdoor. "Ta-da!"

We both climb down the ladder until we reach ground. A few candles lighten the area. We keep walking until we come to a bridge. "Alright, I can feel it, we are close. Today we finish this business and stopping Blood once and for all."

And so we start passing the bridge to our destiny ...

Chapter 17: The True Plan Around Light Runner - Part 2

Something has gone wrong. We don't seem to have an archived copy of that chapter.

Chapter 1: My first unusual day

Author's Note

Rewritten by myself.

Chapter 1: My first unusual day

I open my eyes slowly, like every morning. Always at the same time, shortly before Celestia's sun shines on me through the window. I rub the sleep off my eyes with my hooves, giving a short yawn and hop out of my bed. Monday is always the hardest day of the week.

I'm a mailstallion and there are no mail deliveries during the weekend, so all the deliveries, that are coming during the weekend, have to be done on Monday. I work together with Derpy Hooves, a stallion, where I forget the name of him and Trotting Mail. There are normally two of us working at a time, except for today, where it's all hooves on work. It's a good thing that Ponyville isn't that big, especially compared to cities like Canterlot or Manehattan. I feel sorry for the mailponies that have to work there.

I soon realize that I'm wasting time and start making myself a tasty hay sandwich for breakfast. I quickly finish eating it, put on my saddlebag for the mail and head out from the frontdoor.

Work was never hard for me, as I'm really good at running. My name, Light Runner, says it all. I'm really fast, faster than anypony in Ponyville. It takes the other mailponies around half a hour to deliver there mail, what I can do already in around 15 minutes. My thoughts bring a smile on my face and I said "Good morning" to everypony I passed by on my way to work. Soon I'm walking through the doors of the postal office to find my co-worker, who doubled as a chef, already waiting.

"Every Monday it's the same way. I'm the first pony here, then you come in, and then Derpy comes in late. And the stallion isn't here either". I'm about to respond, when I hear the door open behind me. I turn around to see Dinky Hooves, Derpy's daughter. She walks towards us with a letter, that she is holding in her muzzle. Trotting takes the letter and reads it out loud.

"I'm sorry, but I'm sick today, signed Derpy."

"So she's not coming in today?" I made it sound more like a question. "Yeah, sorry for the trouble-"

"No, don't be. It's not your fault Dinky, and besides, we can handle ourselves." I rustle her mane. She smiles at us before running back out. "Well Light, it looks like it's just the two of us today then. I'll take half of both mails and you take the other half, okay?"

"Sure. I know that I can still finish it in under thirty minutes!" I laugh.

"Yeah, I'm sure you can." He rolls his eyes and walks over to me. "Let me just load up the mail and you can go, Runner."

Trotting put the mail in my saddlebags, plus half of both, and I shift the bags so that I'm more comfortable with it. I get into position and wait for Trotting to give me the signal. I take a deep breath, he drops his hoof and I start running out. I run from house to house, stopping to place the mail in and move on. The same pattern over and over, day after day. To most ponies, this work would make them yawn in boredom, but for me, I take it as a personal challenge, always trying to break my time record, always trying to move faster. Today I wasn't going to be breaking any records though. Not with the extra load of mails.

23 minutes later and I'm back at the office, barely panting, waiting for Trotting to return. A few minutes later he walks through the door. "I thought I was going to have to wait all day, before you finished." I tease him for fun.

"Ha-ha." He says back in a sarcastic tone. "Go home, we're done for the day. See you tomorrow at-"

"8 AM, I got it!" And with that, I was done with work for the day. But I still have the rest of the day ahead of me and I was off to meet my best friend, Sky Love. We have a lot in common! I like adventures, she likes adventures. And even though she can't outrun me, she can outfly me. I'm not a pegasi, so all I can do is run, but every time, she ends up ahead of me. I would say that she is my special somepony .... I would say that, except that she isn't. She already has a special somepony unfortunalty.

Lightning Thunder. Wonderbolt and egoist. I don't understand what she sees in him, he is just a ... well I don't have a fitting word for him. Though from what I've heard, he's got himself a "big friend" with him, which seems to be the only thing mares in our current generation seem to be interested in. The big, bad stallions get all the mares and the nice, sympathetic stallions stay alone. Well, I still have hope that I will find my special somepony one day .... and I'm not talking about Some Pony, the new stallion in town.

Arriving at Sky's house, I knock on her door. "I'm coming! Just, um, give me a few minutes!"

10 minutes later she opens the door. "Hi Light, it's nice to see you."

"Me too. I'm guessing he is here too?" She nods, blushing a little. "Y-yeah, but he was just about to leave."

And then I see him appear behind her, dressed in his Wonderbolt uniform. "Meeting your little friend again, Sky?"

"Leave him alone Thunder, he is my best friend." He chuckles. "Yeah, yeah, whatever. I have to go now, after all I have a job. Bang ya next time, Sky. Maybe your friend here can watch us, he might even learn something!"

He laughs and flies off, not without hitting me on my leg, to cause me to fall on the ground. "Ouch ... I don't understand, how can you love somepony like him?"

"He is just .... it's hard to say." I look with a deadpan. "Good looking and good in bed?"

"No-it's not like that ..." She looks away. "Really? Because you're blushing."

She looks really cute, when she tries to hide her flustered face. "If you like him so much, then it's on you. It's your choice, but don't come crying to me when he hurts you, okay?"

She can come everytime, if he hurts her ever.

"Sure." I smile to her, standing up from the ground. "So what do you have planned for us today?"

"First we go see .... um, actually, I don't know his name, he borrowed a book from me. So .... how about the lake?" I nod in agreement. "Sounds good to me, it's a nice day today."

"Great! But first we get the book." She grabs here saddlebag and we start our walk, on our way to retrieve her book from the stallion. Soon we reach his house and she knocks on the door.

"Coming!" A stallion opens the door. He looks pretty sick. "Oh, hi Sky. I'm guessing your here for the book?"

"Yep." He disappears inside his house and return a few seconds later with a book. "Here it is."

"Thank you." Sky puts the book inside her saddlebag and then turns to me. Also, I know now, where the stallion from work was today. I should tell Trotting tomorrow, that he is ill.

"Alright, we can go now." I take a deep breath. "Yay!"

We start walking to the lake, which is a very nice place to relax, especially when the sun is shining. "I made us some hay sandwiches. I also have some apples, fresh from Sweet Apple Acres. Hope you like them."

"I never say no to free food!" She laughs her cute laugh, and I laugh right along with her.

We eat some apples and hay sandwiches together, and after waiting for 30 minutes, I start running to the lake and jump in. It feels so good to swim in the cool water, I just love the feeling of wet fur tickling the body. I keep swimming in the lake and notice that Sky decided to stay sitting on the shore. I get an idea and dive under the water, swimming towards her. When I'm close enough, I push myself out of the water, landing next to her and start to shake myself dry, soaking Sky. "Hey! Stop that!"

"No." I laugh loudly. "That's not funny ..."

"I think it's funny." She rolls her eyes. "Well ... maybe a little bit ..."

"What? Are you afraid of the water?" I tease her. "No ..."

"So what's wrong then?" She sighs annoyed. "I just don't want to get wet, okay?"

She is so cute .... and I'm just her idiot friend. The more I look at her, the more I want to ... kiss her. I move closer to her and plant my lips on her cheek, but she pushed me away. "What are you doing!?"

"I-I'm sorry, I just ... it was an accident!" She looks surprised and unsure. "Sure it was. So, seriously, are you in love with me?"

"Wha-well .... yes. I've loved you since I had met you." I immediately realize, what I just said, and my eyes go wide. "W-what?"

"I mean, I ... I" She looks away from me, but I think she's blushing. "You know, to be honest Light ... I don't really love Thunder. I hate him actually, but my parents want, that he marries me ..."

"So why don't you tell your parents the truth then?" She sighs sadly. "They wouldn't accept anything that goes against what they want."

".... I'm sorry ..." I look down, but she giggles suddenly. "Oh, and by the way, his *friend* isn't really that big."

We spend the next few minutes giggling together.

"But in all seriousness, I'm ... I-I love you too." I feel my cheeks heating and blushing deeply at hearing that. "R-Really?"

"Yeah." And then she kisses me, her lips touching mine. I close my eyes and eagerly return the favor. Soon, it feels like it's been hours and my body is tingling all over. It's so wonderful ... but then I feel something hit my head, hard.

"Ow! Hey, what are you-" I turn around and face Thunder glaring at me. "You dirty little horse!"

He takes another swing with his hoof, this time straight in my face. "Thunder, stop it!"

"Be quiet! I should've known that there was something between you two. How many times have you hooked up with him behind my back huh!? How many times have you two slept together!?"

"NEVER! We just kissed this one time!" I groan in pain, looking to them. He glares to her. "Well go home, now!"

"NO!" That surprises him for a second. "What!? I'll tell your parents-"

"Really? Well go ahead! I hate you! The way you act, the way you talk and treat other ponies! I hate everything about you! You're an idiot and an egoist, and he is nice to me. You only want me, because I'm the only mare stupid enough to be with you!" Then he slaps her. I stare, unable to believe that he actually hit her. But I believe it as soon as I see her tears and shocked face, and I decide that I'm not going to let him get away with it. I stand up and kick his flank as hard as I can. "What the hay are you doing!?"

He comes at me again, and the last thing I see is his hoof flying towards my face.

****

I wake up slowly and look around. I'm on a bed, inside what seems to be a hospital room. A nurse walks into the room, and now I'm sure it's a hospital. "Finally awake, Mr. Runner?"

"What happened?" I rub my head, I feel like somepony throw a stone on my head. "Somepony, a Wonderbolt, came to us, saying he found you unconscious by the lake."

"Wait a Wonder- that was Thunder!" I groan in annoyance. Of course he plays like a hero then ...

"You were beaten up pretty bad. Your face was covered in blood. What happened?" I roll my eyes. "Thunder- the guy that brought me in here used my face as a punching bag."

"He did that?" I nod, slightly annoyed. "Of course he did! Where is Sky?"

"Sky?" She looks confused. "Yes, Sky Love, where is she!?"

"There was no mare with him." I try to stand up from the bed. "I have to go-"

"What-no, you need to stay here for the night. We need to make sure your muzzle heals right." I groan again in annoyance. "... Fine ...."

"Good night, Mr. Runner ..." I lie myself back on the bed. "Yeah ... good night."

I lay my head on the pillow, trying not to think about all the bad things that could happened to Sky. I could feel my muzzle throbbing, so I close my eyes and after a few minutes, I feel myself falling asleep.
