Hearts and Hooves day

Blaze Blue adventures

Hearts and hooves day

“Man I wonder what he has got himself into now” Blaze thought to himself as he waited for a train. He looked at the clock and sighed. The train was late. As Blaze looked at all of the happy couples, he began to think but he was quickly stopped as Psy-Psy approached.

“You too Blaze?” he asked.

Blaze just smiled and nodded. Psy-Psy face hoofed as he sat down next to Blaze and waited for the train.

About half an hour passed. As the train arrived, Blaze turned to Psy-Psy and asked if he knew anything about what was going on but he didn't so they boarded the train to canterlot. As they did, Blaze saw something out of the corner of his eye. It looked like Applejack but he couldn't tell.

“Something the matter Blaze?” Psy-Psy asked.

“It’s nothing, just thought I saw a friend” Blaze replied, he seem a bit unsure.

As the two found their seat, they were greeted by Smasher

“Both of you?” he asked.

They nodded

“What has that featherbrain got himself into now?” he continued.

As the three got comfortable, Blaze was thinking if it really was Applejack or just his mind playing tricks.

As the train pulled into the station, the three got up and look around before being stopped by a voice.

“You're late” he said.

The three turned around it was Commandos in his guard uniform.

“The train was late oh and gold looks good on you. Maybe not the helmet but still good” Blaze replied in a jokey tone.

Commandos chuckled.

“Yeah well back to the reason why we are here, which is?” they stared with blank faces. Commandos sighed as they began to walk.

Blaze asked, “So where are we going then?”

“Some fancy cafe but other than that I don't know” Commandos replied as they finally got to the cafe. Thundurus sat down, he look inpatient.

As they approached he sprung up, “Oh thank Celestia you’re here!”

They all looked at him and at the same asked, “What’s the matter? Why did you tell us to come here?”

He giggled, “Well... um... you see...”

He was interrupted by his brother, “He’s fallen in love and he wants you to help him” said Tornadus.

Everyone sighed except Blaze who slammed his head on the table.

“WELL who’s the one?” asked Psy-Psy.

Thundurus pointed across the street

“That’s her...” he said in lovely tone.

Everyone looked over and began to laugh.

“You can’t be serious, that's Fleur de lis, one of the most popular unicorn mares in Canterlot. She probably already got thousands of love letter by now. You stand no chance” Blaze stated.

Thundurus sighed, he knew he had no chance.

“Saying that Blaze, she looks upset. Maybe he does if he plays his cards right” Commandos pointed out.

Thundurus began to smile, “You're right, I’ll never know until I try right? I'm going for it”

He flew off hoping for the best.

“50 bits says that he fails in five minutes” said Blaze as he put a sack of money on the table.

“75 says that he will get denied before she tells him her name” Smasher said putting his bag on the table.

“100 says that he lasts ten minutes” Tornadus putting his bag on the table.

“115 on being told no before he even says hi” Psy-Psy added his money to the table.

“200 says he get at least one date” Commandos said confidently as he added his bag too.

As they look over they saw Thundurus just about to talk to Fleur.

“Um hey there miss”

She interrupted him, “Let me guess you're here to ask me out or give me note like every else” she snapped. Fleur continued, “Well too bad, I'm not interested”

Thundurus replied “Actually no. I came over because you seemed upset and I wanted to know why”

She was in shock, “Really! Well I'm upset because every hearts and hooves day its the same countless letter pony everywhere I go asking me out. Its so annoying” Thundurus sat down next to her.

“Hmm I can see how frustrating that could be...” He carried on, “The name’s Thundurus. What’s yours?”

She smiled, “Fleur, Fleur de lis”

Thundurus looked at his friends but Blaze was gone. Then he look up and saw a large group of storm clouds rolling in and before he could say anything it started to rain hard.

“That's strange, it shouldn't rain today” he said puzzled.

Fleur got up and began to walk away but turned and said “Well are you coming”

“Excuse me?” Thundurus replied.

“to mine its obvious your not from around here and i don't live far so come on” Thundurus smiled and followed her.

“Phew we're lucky we didn't get too wet” said Thundurus.

Fleur handed Thundurus a towel and sat down.

“I wonder why it rained all of a sudden. It wasn’t forecasted” Fleur asked.

“Its probably some prank” Thundurus replied as he finished drying himself.

He sat down and looked out the window.

“By the looks of it, it should be about half an hour until it stops raining...”

Fleur give a puzzled look “How can you tell so easily?”

“It's simple really, you look at the darkness of the cloud; if it’s getting white at the top then it's almost out”

“Um Thundurus why don't you tell me about yourself if you don't mind” asked Fleur.

 “Well first off I was a thief but after our boss went a bit loopy me and my brother quit and now I'm a weather pony for manehatten. That's the basics” he replied.

The sun shined through the window as the canterlot weather team started to clear the sky.

“Hmm well I don't want to overstay my welcome. Thanks for having me Fleur” said Thundurus as he began to leave.

“7pm” said Fleur.

“Excuse me!?” asked Thundurus in shock

“you heard me be back here for 7 and dress smart” she replied.

“Oh, okay sure. 7 it is” he dashed off, smiling greatly as he went to find a suite.

“Well consider me impressed but try not to screw this up Thundurus” said Commandos. He continued, “and you lot pay up!...”

Thundurus look at and smiled as everyone else handed over their money which Commandos handed to Thundurus.

“Erm what?” asked Thundurus.

“She said dress smart and its... hmm half five so get going” Commandos said as he looked at his watch. Thundurus dashed of waving his friends good bye.

End of Chapter

The birth of Psy-Psy

The Birth of Psy-Psy

“This better be good Doctor. Your last experiments were complete failures” Grunted a mare in a suit.

“Don't worry Miss Point, he will surpass all expectations once he is fully developed of course” replied Doctor Rohoofnik.

“Um its miss now and he?” she replied in confusion

“Its better if I show you” said the doctor as he led the way to the lab.

Inside the lab

“Alright listen up Miss Point, what you are about to see is our latest project, so to your stations!” ordered Doctor Rohoofnik and everypony dashed around pressing all sorts of buttons and switches. A the back wall opened up a large panel of magic proof glass that closed the new area and behind the glass was a large test tube with what looked like a plain white newborn foal in it.

“Doctor what is that?” Miss Point asked.

Doctor Rohoofnik grinned, “This is Android 0001. Code name: Psy-Psy. Our greatest masterpiece”

Miss point frowned at him, “All you made is a child... You wasted... Two billion bits!... on a fake child... I could make one for free... All I need are two idiots that don't know how to use protection.,..”

“Ah well you see he is more than a child. Once fully completed, he will be just like any other unicorn but better: He’ll be faster, stronger, and more powerful then Celestia and once we get the formerly done we can make an army of androids!”  Doctor Rohoofnik explained and as he did, Miss Point began to understand.

“Very well, we will continue to fund your project until 0001 is finished then he will have to prove its worth it. Do I make myself clear?”

As all the scientist nodded and agreed, she continued, “and for pete's sake, you there stop staring at my flank! You're never going to touched it” She pointed to one of the scientists who quickly turned away in embarrassment and Miss point left. The test tube was sealed and everyone went back to work.

16 years later

“Psy-Psy, time for you daily training” said one of the Scientist as he picked up a clipboard.

“So what is it this time? Wait, it's tuesday so its target practice” said Psy-Psy as he entered the training room.

“Just do what you normally do, but I’m going to increase the difficulty today, just to see where you are at” informed the scientist.

“Okay, just put up the targets so I can knock them down” Psy Psy responded with a sigh.

Psy Psy walked onto the large training field, clicking his hooves and neck as he readied for the targets. Many metal barriers and blockades were scattered strategically around the room, a few open holes were set through the floor in many places as traps and the place was already scorched with explosion marks and bullet holes. Psy Psy took position in the centre of the room and looked around in wait.

A female computer voice echoed through the room, “Starting round in 5, 4, 3, 2 ,1”.

Psy Psy took an attack stance after “2”, still waiting in anticipation.

“Round begin!”

At that moment, two targets popped up from behind the barrier not far beside Psy Psy. He jumped to the side and fired two small focused lasers from his horn, hitting both targets. Massive chunks of plastic blew off the targets frame, leaving the edges of the broken parts completely scorched. Two more targets popped up behind. Psy Psy jumped around quickly and fired two more lasers, destroying both the targets.

“Too easy” he said under his breath.

More targets popped up all around him and a few more popping down from the roof. Psy Psy turned to the right and fired more laser at two targets before jumping around and fire a large energy blast at a small group of targets and finally turning again to fire at a few more targets that hung from the roof.

After a few seconds of peace, a large opening in the wall began to launch large crates at Psy Psy. Psy Psy reacted quickly and dodged the first jumped on the second and grabbed the third with his levitation. He jumped up onto the third crate, the fourth coming straight for him. As the fourth hit the third, he jumped off, grabbing a fifth crate with his levitation and throwing it back at the opening, blocking it up.

Psy Psy landed on his hooves again. His ears perked up as he heard some mechanical tinkering and electronic beeps from behind him. He turned around to find two sentries coming out the roof, both pretty much finished and armed. Psy Psy ran across the room as they opened fire, the sentries following Psy Psy’s movement as they tried to gun him down. Psy Psy umpd and rolled behind a barrier to take cover for a split second. The sentries jolted they aim a little as they tried to search for Psy Psy. Psy Psy didn’t want to waste time so he ripped a damaged target from it’s hinges and jumped over the barrier. The sentries locked on again and opened fire, the target Psy Psy had providing very limited cover. Psy Psy’s cover lasted a second but that was all the time he needed to prepare an energy blast at the end of his horn. He threw the target aside and fired his energy blast. The energy blast flew between the two sentries and Psy Psy fired a laser just as it passed, creating a large energy explosion by them and destroying them both.

“Wow he got a perfect score and it's his fastest time. I think it’s time we made the call” said Doctor Rohoofnik.

Psy Psy exited the training field, “So dad, how was that?”

The doctor smiled, “That was great son, Perfect even, but there is something I must do now. Go down cafeteria and get yourself some of those ice creams you like. You’ve earned it”

Psy-Psy’s smile grew and he dashed off up the stairs.

Later that day

“Ah, Miss Point, I am glad you could make it... Who’s the kid?” asked Doctor Rohoofnik.

“This is my daughter, Shining Starlight. My ungrateful ex left me while I was pregnant and I couldn’t find somepony to look after her”

Shining sighed, “Mum I'm 17, I don't need a somepony to look after me”

“Yes you said that last time and when I left you alone for one night you had a party and wrecked the house. Anyway we’re are getting off topic, let me see his progress, while you young lady, could you get me a cappuccino?”

Shining sighed as she left.

“This way to the training hall” said the doctor.

At the cafeteria

“Stupid mother, it wasn't that wrecked” Shining moaned to herself as she poured her mother’s drink. She soon noticed Psy-Psy

“Hey is it that robot kid or something what it again... Android 0001 Psy-Psy, yeah that's it” She thought to herself as she began to walk over to him.

“Hey you’re that fake pony Psy-Psy am i right” she said.

Psy-Psy gave a blank look.

“Fake?”

“You know I'm real, you're a fake” Shining explained.

“I feel pretty real”

“Ugh forget it. Anyway I'm bored, you know this place better then me so what's fun around here?”

Psy-Psy thought for a moment, “Well there’s the training hall but my dad said that it’s out of bounds”

Shining quickly interrupted him, “Your dad? Wow you’re really clueless”. She grabbed his hoof, “Come on, I know something fun” as the two walked towards the sleeping quarters.

“Ah-ha, Here we are” shining said

“Um miss, this is mine and my dads room. Why are we here?” asked Psy-Psy.

“First, the name is Singing Starlight and second, pass me your access card”

Psy-Psy was hesitant but hoofed his card and the two entered.

“Wait, that’s my dads room. We’re not allowed in” said Psy-Psy.

Shining smiled as she opened the door, “If you want to know the truth, I bet daddy’s room has the answers”

Psy-Psy slowly walked in the room was full of papers notes blueprints.

“What's this?” he asked as he picked up a book with the title ‘The Android Project”

As he began to look through it, he became overwhelmed with questions but they all were about the same thing.

“Am I an android? is my purpose in life to fight in wars? What am I?”

“See, I told you you're fake” Shining said with a smug look on.

Psy-Psy used a magic blast to blow up all of the notes

“Whoa ca-” Psy-Psy stopped her in mid sentence as he started to choke her with his magic before throwing her through the wall and stormed out the room.

“Psy-Psy we heard an explosion and we came to it check out!” asked a scientist.

Psy-Psy glared as his horn glowed and used his magic to stop their hearts and started to blow everything up in sight. He continued his rampage through the all the scientists try to run but Psy-Psy killed them on sight and as he approached the exit.

“Son stop this” the doctor yelled.

Psy-Psy turned to him, “Is it true I am an android?” he asked.

The doctor nodded in disappointment.

“Yes but you're still my son. Just let me live. We could start a new life; no more training, no more tests” the doctor whimpered.

“Tests. Training. You were preparing me for war” Psy-Psy growled.

“No, NO! You don't understand” the doctor cowered

“Then you're not worth living”

Psy-Psy’s horn glowed as the doctor screamed in agony, Psy-Psy glared and proceeded to leave.

“Shining, SHINING! Where are you?!” screamed Miss Point as she searched frantically for her daughter.

“Don't worry, you’ll join her soon” said Psy-Psy.

“Wait! I funded you! Without me you would be alive”

Psy-Psy chuckled, “Well then, once you get to hell, you can think about what you have done”

His horn glowed the mare was silenced and Psy-Psy left.

Outside the lab

“That was amazing” said a mysterious voice.

Psy-Psy turned to him, horn glowing bright.

“Easy easy! I don't what to fight you, I want you to join me” he said with an over confident voice.

“What do you mean?” Psy-Psy asked.

“I'm the leader of the Colts, the best group of thieves in equestria and we need a pony with your power. I know that you're angry but this senseless killing will get you nowhere”

Psy-Psy lowered his guard “So then, what do I call you?”

“The name is Sift Swipe. So what do you say?” he asked.

Psy-Psy looked back at the destroyed laboratory, “I’m in”

End of Chapter

Smashing show off

Smashing Show Off

The ringing of the alarm echoed through the house before being silenced.

“Morning already” groaned Smasher as her stumbled out of bed. He walked over to a small mirror on the wall.

“Mane still cream, body still light brown. Looks like everything is still the same”

Smasher open the cupboard next to the mirror. He put on a yellow hard hat and his saddle bag. He walked into the kitchen, got out a medium sized tub filled it with all different types of fruit then walked out of his flat and proceeded to walk to the train station.

Smasher boarded his train and as he looked around he saw a familiar face.

“Morning Atlas” said Smasher as he sat down next to his friend.

“A good one too. Today we finish that bell tower” Atlas replied with a smile “and then we can get drunk and forget the trouble it's brought us, you better join us Smasher” he continued.

“Of course I will. A drink with friends is something you can never miss”

They continued to talk until the train reached there stop.

Smasher and Atlas walk to the construction site. They looked at the clock tower and smiled at the thought of it being finished before noticing a small crowd around a stage. Smasher turned to Atlas.

“What’s happening over there?”

Atlas shrugged, “Some show pony, try not to get distracted”

“Same to you” Smasher replied as they walked over to a small hut next to the site. He look at a chart on the door.

“Hmm... Lets see. Hmmm, ahh Smasher bring the tiles to the roof”

Smasher Put down his saddlebag and went to work.

Smasher placed the last box of tiles down he heard a loud bang which knocked him to the floor

“What was thaaaaaaaaaaaaat?!!!”.

2 minute Earlier

There crowd booed as the stage pony used her magic from a cloud to her shape.

Somepony called out from the crowd, “Oh come on! You did that yesterday! We want something new!”

“Very well then my loyal fan The Great And Powerful Trixie has something special!”

Trixie thought to herself, “I hope this works”

Her horn glowed brighter than before and a seven blue bolts shot out and six of them collided to make a dazzling sparkle. The crowd cheered but soon stopped as the seventh started to flick and go out of control. Trixie tried to control it but the bolt launched itself at the bell tower and shattered some of the support beams. The crowd screamed and ran. Trixie stared in fear before diving out of the way. The tower smashed into the ground. As the dust cleared all of the worker ponies started to walk up to Trixie who was trying to escape unnoticed.

“Heh whoops” Trixie giggled.

The workers glared at her but they all turned around when they heard a door slam and out came a dark red pony with a white mane he looked furious.

“WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED HERE?” He yelled.

All the worker pointed to Trixie. The enraged boss walked up to the group before noticing and then began to count to himself.

“...7, 8... Wait a second, WHERE'S SMASHER?!” he looked around frantically.

“Wait a sec...” said Atlas.

The group stared at him, “Did the chart say he had to move tiles to the roof? He must be up there!”

They all dashed up too were the roof landed there shoveled the rubble as fast as they can.

“Over here!” said one of the workers as he dragged Smasher’s body out of the wreckage. Smasher coughed and groaned as his eyes open.

“Thank Celestia you're as stubborn as you are strong” said Atlas.

Smasher stumbled onto his hooves. Smasher looked around and saw his boss picking something up and put it into his pocket.

“Good to see you’re still in one piece Smasher but I think it's best if you go see a doctor and have a check up. Atlas make sure he gets there”

Atlas helped Smasher and then left.

“And as for you missy, I what to see you in my office, NOW! And before I forget, you lot could please tidy up” he said leading Trixie to his office.

He slammed the door as Trixie sat down.

“Now missy, you have five minute to explain how you’re going to pay for all this damage”

Trixie stared at him, “The Great And Powerful Trixie demands to know how you are going to pay to rebuild my house, um, I mean stage”

the boss started to grit his teeth, “You don't seem to understand missy-”

Trixie interrupted “That's Trixie or The Great And Powerful Trixie... Not missy”

That only made the boss angry, “Fine “Trixie”! As I was saying, it cost this company over 60’000 bits to get the supplies, and including labor and hiring machines, we’re looking at over 100’000 bits. Now we we’re going to be paid 150’000 and now, plus damages and other costs and the fact that you may of incapacitated one of my best men, were looking at a loss of 30’000+ bits, So i ask again how do you intend on paying us back?”

Trixie smirked, “And what if Trixie refused?”

The boss pulled out a box, “Then you won't get this back”

Trixie looked startled and started to look nervous.

“And, by your expression, this means alot to you”

Trixie began to sweat, ”Fine I’ll cut you a deal. I’ll work for you for free and you give back that box”

The Boss smiled, “Very well then but I’ll keep a hold of your box until that tower if fixed” he said as he held his hoof Trixie sighed as she shook his hoof.

Back outside

Trixie and the boss walked out to notice that most of the rubble had been cleared and that Smasher was still standing and working away.

“Ok men, listen up”

All the worker ponies gathered round.

“I have good news. Trixie here said she will help out. The bad news is you will have to do over time if we are gonna get this rebuilt”

The group groaned.

“I'm sorry but at least you get the weekend so go home and rest up, especially you Smasher” The workers split up, grabbed their stuff and left. Trixie walked over to her wreaked stage and next to it there was pile of her stuff

“Trixie you really blown it now. You could barely afford to rebuild it last time, now I have no chance” She started to snivel.

She heard a thud next to her it was a saddle bag.

“Put your stuff in here” said Smasher

Trixie stared at him before putting most of her things into the saddle bag.

“I heard what you said and and it sounds like you’re in some financial problems. If you want, you can stay at mine” Smasher asked.

“The Great And Powerful Trixie doesn't need your charity” she said in stuck up tone Smasher shrugged and began to walk away. Trixie bit her lip and chased after him before coming back for the bag.

As the two made back to Smasher’s flat, Smasher went to his bedroom and pulled out a smaller mattress from under his bed.

“Let me guess, you expect me to sleep on that” she said rudely.

Smasher replied, “Actually I was but if you want to that's fine by me Miss Trixie”

That caught Trixie by surprise, “Wait, why are you being nice to Trixie. Trixie accidentally dropped a building on you. What do you what from Trixie?” she asked.

“Nothing really, I have my reasons?” Smasher said as he started to prepare dinner.

Trixie was even more puzzled “What are these reasons?”

“Well one's personal and the other is that my mother said to always be nice to girls, no matter how rude or obnoxious because, in the end, you’re gonna end up lonely and no pony wants to be lonely. Oh, do you like omelettes?” asked Smasher as he mixed some ingredients.

“Um y-yes” she replied as she started to empty her stuff.

Smasher Began to serve up.

“Sorry for the size but I normally cook for one”

They sat down a began to eat.

As time passed the two talked. Trixie talked about her career but it soon began to get late.

“Well if you don't mind, The Great And Powerful Trixie need her sleep”

“Yeah it getting late” said Smasher as he looked up and lied down on the mattress with Trixie getting comfortable on his bed.

2 days later

Monday

The alarm rang as smasher shut it off he continued on his daily routine but as he looked over Trixie, he was engulfed by thought.

“She such an egotist but I reckon she wasn't always”

Smasher continued to think, he soon snapped out of it by Trixie waking up.

“Morning” Smasher said as he packed. Trixie didn't reply, she just brushed her mane then brushed her teeth.

“Lets get this over with then” Trixie said as she lead the way.

They made it to the to the train station, boarded the train and soon met with Atlas.

“Well I'm amazed you didn't chicken out. You better be helpful Trixie. I'm still annoyed that I can remember the weekend” Atlas complained.

Trixie looked annoyed but she didn't reply.

“Give her a break Atlas, at least she agreed to the help” Smasher said as the train pulled into station.

The three left and made their way to the new construction site. They checked the chart and Smasher got Trixie a hard hat and a high vis coat.

“Ok Trixie, all you have to do is move those wooden beams from that pile over there to the site here. Do you think you can do that without breaking something?” ordered the site manager.

“Yes sir” Trixie groaned and started carrying the beams with her magic.

The site manager walked up to Smasher.

“Good to see you hard at work but please don't push yourself, not to be rude, but we can’t make any more losses” Smasher nodded as he went back to work. “Oh one more thing, I change your lunchtime instead of one its half twelve and could you inform Trixie that her lunch break is one o’clock”

“Sure thing sir” Smasher walked over to Trixie who was almost done.

“Hey Trixie, your lunch is one till one thirty ok”

Trixie walk past without any sign of acknowledgement.

“Trixie, is there something bothering you?”

“It’s personal, so drop it” Trixie replied.

Smasher stood in front of her, “Look, I'm trying to be a good friend which, by the way you act is something, you want more then anything”

Trixie look sorrowful.

“Now tell me what's wrong, please?”

“Why should Trixie? You never told me what your personal reason”

Smasher smiled, “Well you never ask”

“Well?” Trixie replied  but Smasher was interrupted by one of the works

“Oi you two, back to work!”

Smasher stepped aside, “I’ll tell you later ok”

Trixie nodded and continued to work.

After several of grueling hours of work, Smasher and Trixie had arrived home.

Trixie sat down at the table staring eagerly at Smasher.

“Well?” she said.

Smasher took off his work clothes and sat down.

“Normally I would say ladies first but I doubt that it's going to work. So, anyway the main reason is that, well if what happened to you is almost identical to what happened to me as a kid”

Trixie stared confused and the same time intrigued.

“What do you mean almost identical?” she asked.

“Well before I became a thief, I lived normally, went to school, blah blah. Anyway one day in school, I got unfairly punished so, out of frustration, I punched the wall and, well, the whole place collapsed and the town was furious. I tried to help but every time I did, disaster followed and eventually they kicked me out. They didn't care what happened to me, so yeah, now you”

Trixie sighed, “Well you see, your boss, he has something dear to me and he won't give back until the tower is rebuilt”

Smasher looked angry, “So he is blackmailing you, no wonder you were angry”

He thought for a moment, “Well it took us 8 weeks to get it up the first time, maybe with your help it be around 6 and a half weeks so don't worry, it will be back in your hooves in no time, ok?”

Trixie perked up but then looked discussed as Smasher stomach growled.

The two continued their night as normal but this time Trixie was a bit more helpful.

Tuesday

The morning was the same except Trixie was in a better mood the two boarded the train, met Atlas, had a couple of laughs and got to the site.

The boss walk out of his room and approached Trixie, “Ok miss Lunamoon” Trixie looked surprised, “I’ve been informed that it will be raining heverly tonight so I need you to get everything in that big pile and get it to the tent over there. Luckily, we managed to rent out a cart so get to work and watch out, there is a slope and I don't  want to see that cart flying down that hill once. Oh  and no chit chat ok Lunamoon?”

Trixie nodded. Trixie began to load up the cart and hooked it on to her harness and began to walk. She struggled a bit but she managed to get a steady pace.

“A slope? This not a slope. A slope is small. This is a hill!” she moaned to herself.

She heard a some whistle. She turned and saw some of the work ponies staring at her.

“What’s the matter? Twixie need help?” laughed one of them. Trixie groaned and continued, “Of course she doesn’t, she is the wonderful magnificent Twixie, she is the most powerful unicorn in Equestria, even Celestia fears her” the group laughed harder.

“The Great And Powerful Trixie doesn't need or want your help so go bugger off and get back to work” Trixie snapped as she began to speed up.

“You can do it Trixie. You’re the most powerful one there is” she said to herself.

She continued to monologue until she heard a ping. She looked to see what the problem was. It was one of the hooks, it had snapped off. As she tried to fix it the other one snapped off and so the cart was charging down the hill. Trixie tried to grab it with her magic but was out of her reach. The cart slammed through a ladder, knocking one of the worker ponies off and the the cart slammed into a wall and cracked about a third of the bricks. Everypony rushed over to the worker on the floor.

“Whoa dude, what happen are? You ok?” asked Atlas.

“I think my leg is broken. Either that or I hit my head so hard that it looks funny” he growled Atlas and Smasher help him up as the boss stormed out of his office.

“WHAT HAPPENED TRIXIE? YOU USELESS IMBECILE WHAT DID YOU DO!” he yelled.

“It... It was a-an accident. The hooks snapped off, I swear!” Trixie explained.

“Oh really? Then care to explain why the hooks are still on” the boss growled.

Trixie stared at it she couldn't believe her eyes, “but it's true! Trixie promises you they broke”

The boss rolled his eyes

“You two get him to the hospital and Trixie, get your useless flank in gear and get everything up there and I don't care how long it takes or if you have to do it in the rain, just do it” he snapped.

Hours passed and Smasher and Atlas returned. Smasher gave Trixie a key to his flat and enough money to get the train. When Trixie asked why he said he had something important to do.

Smasher tried to sneak in but Trixie was still up she seemed depressed but she tried to be herself.

“So care to explain why you're late?” she asked.

Smasher placed a small purple box on the table.

“Well first I asked the election if he framed you. He is the only other unicon on site and, of course, he admitted he fixed the cart to get you into trouble. I then followed are boss home and found this”

Trixie opened the box and searched through it.

“So, Trixie Lunamoon, that’s a nice name” said Smasher.

Trixie Slammed the box shut, “You looked!”

“I had a small one, winning a talent show and getting your cutie mark. At the same time it must of been the best day ever”

Trixie sighed and even look like she was going to cry, “You would of thought but the truth is my parents said they couldn't make it to the talent show, but when I got home to tell them the news I found out that they had been at my brother’s stupid rugby game. Something that happens on weekly basis and when I told them that I got my cutie mark, they acted like it wasn't anything special”

Trixie was now full on crying. A thought popped into Smasher’s head, walked into the kitchen and rummaged through his fridge. He pulled out a small cake.

“Its not much but you definitely deserve it”

Trixie wipe her tears and began to eat

“So I been thinking, you said that you couldn't afford a new stage house right?”

Trixie nodded.

“Well there’s a dinner theater opening up nearby so why don't you apply for that. In fact ardisson start in couple of days. So what do you say?”

“I don't think that Trixie will have what they’re looking for” Trixie said nervously.

“That's rubbish! You never know until you try. I'm pretty sure somepony like you should know that” Smasher encourage.

Trixie smiled, “You’re right, The Great And Powerful Trixie will show the true meaning of magic” Trixie yelled infusicasly.

Wednesday

An aroma filled the air as Smasher inheadle heverly he started to wake up he yawn and wandered into the kitchen. He saw Trixie cooking breakfast.

“Well this is nice surprise” Smasher said joyfully.

“Well it's the least Trixie could do since you have been so nice to Trixie these last few days”

Smasher sat down and thanked Trixie. After they were done, they got ready and headed out to work.

On site

“Smasher, your task today is to put the floor down on the second floor ok?”

Smasher nodded and began to work. He walked up the stairs and began to place the flooring.

“Hay Smasher, how’s your girlfriend? Did you give her a firm talking to about site safety?” Atlas chuckled. Smasher stade quiet.

“Smasher the silent game doesn't work with me so have you had some fun?” he asked

“If you're asking if me and Trixie are dating then no. Unlike you I can hold myself back” Smasher chuckled.

“Hay, I can hold myself back. Name one time I even hitted to mare that I wanted to sleep...”

Smasher stared at him.

“Two weeks ago, you ask three mares and I quote, “Hey baby, how about you and me get it on back at mine?” ”

Atlas went red in the face, “Well I'm must of been drunk” he replied.

“You had one pint” Smasher replied.

Atlas left in embasement and Smasher went back to work

After he finished, he looked at the clock then to the list of jobs.

“Hmm that's strange, it says I'm free. That can't be right” he thought to himself.

He went to his bosses office. As he approached the door he heard squeals and grunts he opened the door to see...

“What in the name of Celestia!”

He saw his boss on top of Trixie who was gagged on the floor. She began squirm and his boss was staring at Smasher, Trixie managed to kick him off and hid behind Smasher.

“Good lord Smasher! Don't you know how to knock?” he complained.

Smasher removed Trixie’s gag.

“How dare you sir force yourself on her”

“I didn't force myself on her all! I did was tell that she would have to work more to cover all of her debt it was her idea to do it! She even provided the gag!”

“He’s lying” Trixie cried out, “He said that he was going to get his money his way and pinned me to the ground”

“Oh please, Smasher who do believe me? The one who hired you even though you had a long history of crime and also brought you a flat and paid the rent for the first few weeks, or Trixie who has brought nothing but disaster to all of us and not to forget she dropped a building on you” the Boss argued.

Smasher thought he looked at Trixie how was still a little shaken up, “No matter what happened in the past, rape is still rape. I'm sorry but you leave me no choice” he said as he started to leave.

The boss smile faded “That’s your final decision? *sigh* Very well then, I won’t stop you... it’s been nice working with you”

Smasher’s anger subsided as he left. Smasher and Trixie walk to the police station. Smasher stopped Trixie.

“Tell the truth Trixie” Smasher demanded.

Trixie stuttered a bit, “I thought Trixie told he said that only way Trixie could pay him back was through sex of course. The great and Powerful Trixie refused but the brute pinned me down gagged me and then, well, you know”

Smasher glared at her, “You're lying, what happened before I arrived?” Smasher raised his voice.

Trixie didn't reply she tried to ignore the question. “TRIXIE!” he yelle

Trixie stared at him. She never once heard him yell.

“Tell me the truth now” he ordered again.

“Trixie told you! Why don't you believe me?” Trixie replied as she started to back away.

“Trixie, if you were be raped, then why didn't you fight back? You have enough magic to blast him away with easy now tell me”

Trixie tried to back away but she was soon against a wall.

“Umm, umm, well you see...”

Smasher slammed his hoof next to her.

He glared at Trixie, “You have two choices: Tell me the truth OR you can go home, pack your things and leave”

“Fine, I’ll tell you. He invited me into his office and then he started to explain how much money I owed thanks to my recent blunder. It was enormous. He gave me the option to stay and work until the debt was finished but Trixie knew that if I worked more, I would end up in more trouble so i hinted the option of a special service. At first he was angry at the idea but as Trixie worked her charm, he agreed but all I wanted to do was the small stuff because it was my first time but he wanted to go all the way so he gagged me then slammed me to the ground. He was about to violate me so I screamed as loud as I could. He was telling me to be quiet and then you burst in. That is all, Trixie swears”

Smasher looked disappointed as he lowered his hoof and headed home.

“Wait, I thought we were going to the police?” Trixie asked.

“We were but now, as you said, it was your idea and I have no reason to” Smasher replied.

He was annoyed at Trixie. Trixie followed him home.

When they made it back, Smasher didn’t speak. Instead he got a can of beer, opened it and sat down staring out the window. Trixie remembered that he said that he only drank alcohol when he was really angry at something. Trixie started to wonder. An idea popped into her head as Smasher had a sip of his drink. He noticed a bunch of small fireworks appearing in front of him and soon a miniature light show was going off in front of him. After the lights faded, he faced Trixie who was wearing her cape and hat.

“Is that you're way of saying I'm sorry for lying to you?” he asked skeptically.

“Trixie wanted to say thank you for sticking up for her and letting her stay here and all the nice things you’ve done for Trixie”

Trixie sat down next to him Smasher put down his drink, “Well it's just the right thing to do and about the right thing to do, you better apologize to my boss and hope you can work off debt the proper way”

The two continued the night the normal way.

“A couple of months passed Trixie managed to get the job and now she almost finished paying her debt and I’ve been keeping a close eye on her to make sure she was not goofing up and causing more destruction and the workers finally stopped pestering her but the rumours of me and her dating are annoying me. It could be worse if they found out about Trixie’s offer, they would most probably be calling her a whore or something. No matter though, I know she is not. All that matters to me is she still is a bit of an egotistical pain in the flank. Well lets just say, the speaking in the third person has sort of grown on me but anyway, life with Trixie is a better life then my old one”

Teacher for a day

Teacher for a day

Tornadus and Thundurus were flying home. Thundurus was smiling and giggling to himself.

“Why are you so happy today?”  Asked Tornadus in a sceptical mood

“Why wouldn't I be, it's mine and Fleur's two month anniversary and I finally get to see her parents” he giggled.

“Well lardy darh! I'm soooo happy for you” he replied sarcastically.

Thundurus stared at him with a frown.

“What? Got your mane in a twist?” Thundurus replied grumpily.

Tornadus glared.

“Oh I don't know, maybe the fact that my brother has a gorgeous mare friend who he keeps bragging about. Oh and the FACT THAT HE ALSO TAKES DAYS OFF TO SPEND TIME WITH HER”

“Well then, if it is bothering you so much then I’ll be getting my suit and be having a nice night while you stay at home a be grumpy”

Thundurus flew off in huff with Tornadus following him.

The two made it home. They didn't say a word. Thundurus but on his suit and grabbed a bottle of some fancy looking wine and stormed out. Tornadus on the other hoof sat down with a plate of biscuits and started to read the paper until his brother left.

“Lucky prick, if our mane and coat’s were inverted, I would so ruin his relationship” Tornadus sighed.

He got up and opened a small cupboard in the corner in there was a lot of types of alcoholic drinks.

“Wait, where is it?... Oh he didn't... he did, that bastard stole my last bottle of chateau romani That cost me a lot and I only could find it in Ponyville”

Tornadus slammed to cupboard shut and opened his wallet. After counting his bits he looked up and left for ponyville.

Ponyville

Tornadus was wondering through town when noticed a sign on a pub.

“Happy hour, all drinks half price” That brought a smile to Tornadus. “Well I haven't got work tomorrow so time to enjoy myself”

So he walked in casually.

Inside the pub he sat down and ordered his drink. He looked around as he waited. He noticed a purple mare downing pints of beer with a bunch of stallions cheering her on until she collapsed. The bartender walked over to her

“Ok Berry, you’ve had way too much now stumble on home” he pushed Berry out of the pub.

Tornadus felt a tap on his shoulder. He turned around to see his drink had arrived.

“Thanks” said Tornadus as he took a sip.

He started to hear crying he looked around he noticed a mare cry in the corned she had a lot of empty glass around her.

“Hey who that?” he asked to a group sitting next to him.

One of the them looked over, “Who Cheerliee?” he asked

“Yeah, what’s the matter with her?” Tornadus replied.

“Apparently she had a bad break up and now she’s drowning the pain away”

Tornadus took another sip and turned back to the counter. As time passed Tornadus was starting  to get a bit tired. He paid for his last drink and started to walk out. As he did he heard the bartender talking to Cheerliee.

“Look miss, I understand you're upset but it’s time for you to get out and get some rest”

Cheerilee sinvilled, “Why it's not like I’ve got work it’s only saturday”

“No ma'am, it's sunday so get off you're flank and get out” he said as he grabbed Cheerliee by the hoof and tossed her out.

Tornadus left too.He looked at the clock and was about to head home when he noticed Cheerliee stumble to a house. She got out a key and started trying to open the door. After several attempts, the door opened but instead of it being her house it was her neighbours. They pointed to her house and slammed the door. Cheerliee stumbled next door and before she opened the door, she threw up and continued to open the door. As she walked in, she tripped. Tornadus flew over to see if she was alright. She fell on the floor crying and moaning about her ex.

“Umm miss? Do you need any help?” he asked.

Cheerliee stood up before almost falling over again. Tornadus helped carry her in and sat her down on her sofa. She was still crying.

“What am I gonna do? How could I forget that I have to teach tomorrow?”

Tornadus didn't quite know how to reply so he tried to leave.

“You there, would you please cover for me?” Cheerliee begged.

“Whoa whoa whoa. Why not just call in sick? I'm sure a substitute teacher would be fine” Tornadus backed away.

“Come on, please? It's just one day and my class will probably want to make get well cards so you won't really have to teach. So please?” Cheerliee looked desperate.

Tornadus shook his head, “I'm sorry miss but if I recall, it's against the law to teach without a licence”

Cheerliee grabbed him, “Oh please please! Just one day! I'll pay you back, please!”

Tornadus sighed, “Fine, just this once but if I get into trouble, you better tell them the truth” Cheerliee thanked Tornadus and grabbed a bag full of teaching supplies. Tornadus took the bag and left as he did he realized the mistake he just made but he …? and then flew back home.

Tornadus arrived home before his brother. He went to his room and started to look through the bag of teaching supplies and pondered to himself why is he still going along with this, then he heard knocking. Tornadus opened the door, it was his brother and Fleur. They walked in and Fleur sat down while Thundurus poured a couple of drinks.

“So Fleur’s parents not interesting?” asked Tornadus.

“If you must know, Fleur’s parents had to go so Fleur decided she wanted to see our house so anyway apart from drinking what have done?”

“Well I became a teacher for a day”

Thundurus looked confused. Tornadus explained. Thundurus, at first, thought it was a joke but soon he understood.

“Well good luck with it. If you don't mind, I have a mare friend to get back to”

Thundurus left and Tornadus went back to his room and soon went to sleep.

The next day

Tornadus woke up early he grabbed the supplies and began to leave. When he went down stairs he noticed his brother and Fleur on the couch. Tornadus left, he stretched his wings and took off but he looked back at his house.

“Noisy prick, could he make her scream any louder” he thought to himself and headed to ponyville.

Tornadus approached the school. He looked around for any other teachers.

“Hmm I can’t just walk in and start teaching. Looks like I have to sneak in”

Tornadus creeped around until he found a free class room.

“Wow, they left the window open. It just gets better and better”

He snuck through the window and shut it behind him. Tornadus approached the door he looked around for any sign of trouble he open the door slowly he looked at the number.

“Room 4A. Hmm Cheerliee, said that her class was 4B so it must be close”

Tornadus looked around until he found the room.

“Well I was wrong... Stupid school” he moaned he looked through. The window he saw that all of Cheerliee student were sat down talking to each other. Tornadus took in a deep breath and enter the classroom all eye were on him.

“Hello class, I'm your substitute teacher Mister Tornadus”

He wrote his name on the board and then passed a piece of paper with squares on it to one of the student.

“Ok class, please put your name in the box that represents your seat” Tornadus asked

After the class wrote their names, practically all of them put their hooves up.

“Now you're all probably wondering where Miss Cheerlie is” the class nodded in unison.

“She is fine. She just wasn't feeling well but she should be back tomorrow”

One of the students raised her hoof.

“Um yes, umm...” he look at the paper “Twist, is it”

Twist nodded.

“Could we make get well cards for miss Cheerliee” Twist ask.

“Of course you can” Tornadus said which made the class happy.

Tornadus thought to himself, “Ok this keep them occupied for a while”

The class started to make their card. Tornadus wandered around trying to act like a normal teacher. He had to answer a few question. The bell rang Tornadus looked at the clock.

“Okay class, time for a break” the students dashed out of the classroom joyfully. Tornadus looked at all of the student cards.

“Aw man, their almost done and it only their first break” he muttered to himself he started to rummage through his stuff.

“Cheerlie you drunken dits, you didn't tell me what to teach them. Hang on Tornadus, what did you learn in school when you were their age”

Tornadus thought long and hard, “Oh yeah, you were asleep most of the time. Damn you past me!!”

Tornadus took in another deep breath.

Later the class walked in and sat down and continued making their cards but soon they were finished and soon the class were staring, waiting for the next task. Tornadus started to worry. He looked at the clock and there was still twenty minutes left until lunch. A student raised their hoof. Tornadus looked at the paper again.

“Yes Applebloom?”

“Excuse me sir but you look familiar and your name. Are you, by any chance, related to Thundurus of the Catastrophic Colts?” Tornadus looked nervous.

“Um... Well yes, he is my twin brother”

The class started to talk amongst themselves.

“So were you aware that you're brother was a no good thief?” said one of the students.

“Excuse me Diamond Tiara but I would appreciated if you didn't call me or my brother no good thieves”

Tornadus passed for moment as he just released what he just said and the class stared at him curiously.

“Wow that's awesome! How many ponies can say that they’ve been taught by one of the members of Catastrophic colts?” one said.

“Yeah Scootaloo is right! Hey mister Tornadus, could you tell us a story of one your adventures?” said another.

Tornadus gave a sigh of relief as the bell rang for lunch.

“Um maybe after lunch ok”

The class nodded and agreed as they left.

“Ok time for me to chow down. This teaching thing hard work or is the fact that I have no idea what i'm doing?” he thought to himself.

All of the Students walked and sat down and waited for Tornadus to start.

“Alright class, what do you want to know?” He asked.

“Oh, oh what was it like being a member of The Catastrophic Colts?” asked Scootaloo.

“Well life was different to say the least. Everypony acted different but after a big screw up we started to bond. It's kinda funny how we all change”

The class gave him a confused look.

“Umm well most of you know Blaze, right? Always happy to help”

The class nodded.

“Well when we first met, he was arrogant and selfish. He only cared about being in charge but he was a bit of a wuss when it came to water. We all know that fire and water don't mix but Blaze, if someone spat a drink near him, he would be cowering ten feet away. Then you got Commandos, he was our uptight planner. He always had a plan or two but everything was work with him. He never used to any funny it was always work him and Blaze never got along. Those two wanted to be in charge and they would always be at each other arguing, trying to prove who's best. Then there’s Smasher, the guy was definitely the one with the biggest heart but the lug had a small problem. He didn't quite know his own strength. The problem was how strong he was. I’ve seen the guy smash a safe in one punch, and Psy-Psy, well, I’m not really sure about him. We never really talked. He loved his privacy. He only ever talked to Commandos and that was in private. Then there’s me and my brother. Well Thundurus loved to goof off almost as much as his snacks. The kid loved to eat and well me, I never really tried to fit in. I was more occupied with protecting Thundurus because, well we were considered the best and with that fame came fans and enemies and some ponies weren't happy with our fame. The amount of fights we got in must be getting close to a 1000. Anyway, any other question?”

Time passed as Tornadus told the class many different adventures, of course, editing them a bit for their sake and for Tornadus’s ego but as the last bell rang. He waved the class goodbye and left to return Cheerliee’s bag and all of the cards the class made.

Tornadus knocked on the door after a couple of minutes the door opened. Cheerliee looked worse than yesterday.

“Um Cheerliee, you don't look so good. Did you have a few more drinks by any chance”

“Just a few *hic* small drinks” she replied, Tornadus was doubtful.

“Right well here’s your bag and Umm...”

Cheerliee started to approach him. Tornadus tried to back away but she grabbed him.

“Umm... Cheerliee I think you had a bit too much” as he said that, Cheerliee forcefully kissed him.

 “Whoa!” Tornadus said as Cheerliee grabbed him dragged him inside and slammed the door behind him.

Cheerliee stumbled into the kitchen where she started to pour two glasses of wine. Tornadus looked around as he tried to figure a way out when he noticed the label on the bottle. He walked up to Cheerliee.

“I see you have an exquisite taste of wine” he said as he started smell the wine before having a sip. He washed it around his mouth before gulping it down.

“This brand is quite expensive. I didn't think a teacher’s salary could afford it” he said as he finished his glass.

“My ex got for me” Cheerliee muttered.

A tear formed in her eye as she threw her glass to the ground, shattering it into millions of pieces. Cheerliee collapsed as she began to cry heavily

“What have I become! Drinking on work days as a complete stranger does my work and then offering him sex”

“Cheerliee” Tornadus said, offering a hoof.

Cheerliee got up and stared at him.

“Do me a favor?” he asked as he wiped Cheerliee  tears away. “GET A GRIP! LOOK MISSY, WHEN SOMETHING HAPPENS TO YOU LIKE HAVING A BAD BREAK UP, IT'S OK TO GET UPSET BUT INSTEAD OF DRINKING, TALK TO YOUR FRIENDS!” Tornadus yelled as he shook Cheerliee about.

“But... but...” Cheerliee mumbled.

Tornadus glared and shook his head. Cheerliee put the bottle away.

“Now while I clean this mess, you better start planning for your job. You’ve got a class to teach tomorrow”

Cheerliee slightly left and got out some textbooks as Tornadus started to sweep up the shattered glass, there was a knock and Cheerliee opened the door. It was a tall blue stallion

“Deporte!” Cheerliee sounded surprised “What are you doing here?”

“Um yeah, hi Cheerliee. I just thought I would visit, you know, to see how you were, you know, after the fight and all”

He was smiling greatly and smelled like he just put on a whole bottle of cologne. Cheerliee looked sceptical.

“Really, I think you meant to say was sorry Cheerliee but my mare friend that I was dating at the same time as you left me... Please take me back”

Deporte looked a bit nervous, “Um she wasn't my girlfriend, she was some chick”

That made Cheerliee furious and Tornadus poked his head out and asked, “So let me get this straight, you slept with a stranger yes, no, maybe and you got caught so now you’ve come crawling back to Cheerliee? Wow, just wow”

Deporte pushed Cheerliee aside, “Wait, look who's talking huh” he said with a smug look. *Smack*

Chreeliee slapped him across face.

“How dare you you come crawling back and then accuse me of sleeping with someone just because he inside my house. Now you have three seconds before I slam the door into your face”  Deporte began to sweat heavily, “Um um... Threesome?” he said nervously.

Cheerliee slammed the door as hard as she could and stormed passed by Tornadus and gave out a large sigh.

“Can you believe I was in love with that guy?”

Tornadus walked over to her, “Well that was the past” he said comfortingly. He looked at the clock “Wow, it's gotten late”

“Yeah, you better get going” Cheerliee said as she opened the door. Tornadus left, he was wandering around thinking what he was gonna eat tonight when Deporte and two other colts stepped out.

“I don't know who you are but you made me struck out with Chreeliee so me and my boys are gonna teach you a lesson”

Deporte’s goons surrounded Tornadus.

“Okay three things: One, the name is Tornadus. Two, it's not my fault that all you think about is sex and three, that was a horrible pun and you should feel bad for making it”

That only made Deporte angry. The three swung as Tornadus flew up avoiding their attacks.

“Hey come down and fight properly” yelled one of the goons.

Tornadus rolled his eyes as he landed in front of them.

“Happy now?” he said.

The group charged. Tornadus jumped up and slammed Deporte on the back of his head. He charged and punched one in the stomach the other ran away.

“Sorry Cheerliee” he said as he ran away.

Tornadus looked at Cheerliee. Deporte got up and brushed himself off

“You saw that right Cheerliee? He just started beating us up”

Cheerliee frowned.

“I’ve been a teacher for five and a half year now and I know when a bully is lying. Now you and your friend better leave before you embarrass yourself”

The two ran away.

“Well this day has been different” Tornadus said as he watched the two run away.

“I'm sorry about dragging you into this”

“Ah don't worry about it. Your class was alright” Tornadus replied.

“Oh that reminds me, I said I’ll pay you back and I’ve still got some of that wine left”

“Well you did promise, so sure”

Tornadus followed Cheerliee back to hers.

The Adventure of Commandos and Daring Do

The Adventure of Commandos and Daring Do

“All right team in line now” Ordered a purple unicorn as group of eight unicorns lined up.

“I have just received a message from the Princess” he barked.

“The Princess eh.. this gotta be good eh” said orange unicorn. “So Corba what is it, eh?” he continued.

Corba stared at him, “It doesn't concern you Maple Star, Celestia asked for this mission to be given to Commandos and only him”

Commandos raised an eyebrow, “Just me sir? he asked.

“Yes now suit up, you're going into the jungle and it’s hot today” he said as he passed Commandos his saddle bag and the letter.

40 minutes later over the drop zone

“Ok Commandos on the count of three, jump” said one of the pilots.

Commandos nodded as he prepare to jump.

“1...2...3 go”

Commandos leaped out of the plane and fell down towards the jungle he pulled his parachute and glided down softly. When he landed, he packed up his parachute and got out his map.

“So just a bit north from here is the temple of truth and in it is the mask of truth which allow the user to read minds. Hmm I bet the princess wants to keep it away from evil or something. I don't know and I don't care” he thought to himself as he began to walk to the temple.

In the temple

As Commandos look around for any traps. He noticed a bunch of darts in the wall. Commandos used his magic to pull one of the darts out.

“Hmm it’s poison tipped and it look fresh” he pondered as he tossed the dart to one side and continued down the path. On his way through the temple he noticed that more and more traps have been set off and he began to wonder if he was too late. As he approached the mask room he noticed a Pegasus slowly approaching the mask.

“So this is mask of Truth?” she said as she slowly picked it up, checking for any more traps. As she turned around she noticed Commandos.

“Who are you?”

Commandos chuckled, “That’s funny, I was going to ask you the same thing”

As the mysterious pegasus walk towards Commandos, she stepped on a floor switch. She turned around to see a massive wave of water coming towards them. The torrent of water swept them away. As they approached the entrance, a large pit opened up. Commandos looked around and noticed a large root on the ceiling. He used his magic to lower the root and as he fell, he bit it and held on for his life. He felt a sharp pain from his back. He look down top find the pegasus was holding onto his tail. As the water stopped, he swung on the root and flung him and the pegasus to safety.

“*cough* Thanks for the save*cough*” she said.

“Ok, two things: One, who are you and two, why are you here?” he asked.

“I'm Daring Do and this baby is joining my collection” she said as she admired the mask.

“It was but now its coming with me. The princess sent me for it and I'm not to coming back empty hoofed” Commandos argued.

He used his magic to take the mask. As he exited the temple, Daring flew over him.

“Hang on a second! I did all of the work! That mask is coming with me!” she glared at Commandos.

“You're both wrong, the mask is mine” said a mystery voice from the shrubbery who was followed by large group bandits which surrounded them.

“Who are you?” they both asked.

“I am the Top hat, greatest thief in all of Equestria” he laughed.

Daring and Commandos stared at him with raised eyebrows.

“Wow really that's your villain name the top hat that the worst one I heard so far” complained Daring Do.

The top hat stomped his feet.

“Grrrr how dear you, Hat-ions get them!”

The group of ponies attacked and as Commandos and Daring tried to fight back they were quickly overpowered and captured.

The top hat’s lair

“Well this day went great. First I was flushed out of a temple and now I'm prisoner to the worst named villain in equestria” moaned Daring.

“Look, I have almost thought of a way out so could you be quiet?” replied Commandos.

Daring growled and mumbled to herself.

“Ok, here’s the plan: That guard has been bursting for piss for while now. When he goes, I'll use my magic to break are cuffs then we get the mask and run back. As I can tell, by all these drips of water, we must be under a spring. One big blast and flush, we get a ride out”

Daring look sceptical but agreed none the less

“So as we got time to waste, who are and why did you go to the temple?” asked Daring.

“The names Commandos. I'm apart of the Royal Guards and Celestia asked me to get the mask for her” explained Commandos.

They sat patiently they heard the guard ran off.

“Ok lets go” order Commandos as he broke the cuffs.

The two snuck through the base. They found the mask. Daring quickly gasped when the mask was removed and an alarm went off. They were soon being chased by guards as they made back to their cell they saw the Top Hat.

“Looks like you're trapped now. Give back my mask” he snapped

The two looked at each other and smiled as Commandos fired a large bolt of magic at the roof. The roof began to crumble and soon water was gushing out. They got towards the exit and they noticed a sharp drop.

“Hold on!” screamed Daring.

Commandos grabbed hold as Daring began to fly. The two made back onto dry land. Daring turned to Commandos.

“Not bad out there” she smiled.

As Darkness fell, Commandos lit a flare and the two began to talk about all sorts of things.

One and half months later

“Hey guys, I'm off to lunch” Commandos said as he took of his armour and put on his saddle bag.

Commandos wandered through Canterlot with the occasional sip of his drink. He walk to bench overlooking the forest.

“What’s with the glum face kid” said a mare.

“That like the 8th time I’ve heard somepony said that today and I'm not glum, I just don’t smile” Commandos replied  the mare sat next to him.

“Well why don't you like to smile?” she asked.

Commandos looked at her briefly and looked back at the forest.

“No special reason, I just don't”

“Well fine, I was trying to be nice but noooo~ you have to be jerk” the mare stormed off.

As she did, a pegasus landed next Commandos, “How do you do that? You knew what she was going to ask and acted to make her go away”

Commandos smiled “You know me Daring, always one step ahead”

The clock began to chime.

“*Sigh* Well looks like my lunch time is up” Commandos said disappointingly.

“What's the matter?” asked Daring.

“Its just that the only time I get to see you now is when I'm on break and most of the time, you're busy. I just wish that we could spend more time together” Commandos replied.

“Well it's like you said, it’s gonna be difficult but in the end, it will be worth it. And come on, when are you wrong?” Daring said, trying to cheer him up.

Commandos smirked as he got up, threw his rubbish in the bin then gave Daring a kiss then left.

“Oh hang on!” said Daring as she flew in front of him.

She pulled out a hat which looked a lot like hers and placed on Commandos’s head and then flew off

Commandos adjusted the hat and continued.
