Enjoy The Silence

    It was a cold winter's eve, and the sun had begun to set. Ponies returned to their homes as the magical lights of Ponyville dimmed. Meanwhile, a human watched through the window of a small cabin. He looked up at Cloudsdale and saw a familiar cyan pegasus flying down in the cabin's direction. A small smirk slowly grew onto Mouse's face as he stood up and lit a match before tossing it into the fireplace.

  Rainbow Dash flew from Coudsdale towards the cabin near the edge of Ponyville. Snow fluttered down slowly from the sky. Rainbow landed softly as she opened the door and shook the snow off of her soft coat. Mouse peeked his head out from over the couch. Rainbow Dash smiled as she closed the door. Mouse scooted over as Rainbow Dash jumped onto the couch and laid her head down next to Mouse's lap.

  Rainbow was glad to have Mouse with her. Not only did he keep up on everything while Rainbow Dash was away, he also took care of her when she was at home. Rainbow snuggled herself into the couch as the fireplace that Mouse had lit before she'd gotten home warmed her. Mouse glanced over at Rainbow, then looked outside the window. He looked up at the pitch black skies as stars decorated Luna's midnight sky.

  Mouse looked over at Rainbow who'd already been lulled to sleep by the warm fires. Mouse grabbed a blanket from the closet and draped it over her. Rainbow Dash smiled lightly. Mouse walked over to the bathroom and turned on the light. He looked at himself in the mirror and sighed quietly. Mouse had dark brown curly hair with a pair of eyes that were the same color. He always wore a Batman jacket.

  He shut the door and locked it before turning on the shower. He pulled off his jacket along with his shirt. He threw them to the side and got a new pair of clothes and looked at the mirror again. He remember the long scar across his chest. When Mouse came to Equestria, he didn't just simply go, "poof" and then thumph on the ground. Oh no, he came in hard. It was odd how he even survived. But even then, it was odd how he got to Equestria in the first place. The only thing that Mouse remembers was that he was on his way home to school, then he just blacked out.

  After a few minutes, Mouse came out of the bathroom in a fresh pair of clothes, including his Batman jacket. He quietly shut the door and checked on Rainbow Dash. She had snuggled herself into a warm little ball as she laid on the floor closer to the fire. Mouse chuckled a bit before scooting her back a bit so she didn't burn herself.

  Mouse quietly opened the front door, he looked back at Rainbow Dash to see if she didn't wake up. He pulled his hood over his head and closed the door slowly. Mouse shoved his hands into his jacket pockets and followed the trail through Ponyville. He'd been doing this ever since he came to Equestria. It was the only thing that helped him cleared his mind. It also help give him something to do when Rainbow Dash was here. But Rainbow did know that he did this frequently, and she was fine with it, only as long as he came back.

  Mouse was always a strong kid, not only in brawn, but also in heart, and he didn't even need to speak to express himself. He was always there to help whenever you needed him, and sometimes, you didn't even need to ask. He would just volunteer simply by picking up where you left off before you came back. In other words, Mouse was just simply a nice kid that loved helping other people out.

  Mouse never really had a set path whenever he walked, he just, walked wherever he wanted to walk. He'd always make sure to take a round trip back to the path that led him into Ponyville. When you've been living in Ponyville for the past two years without anything to do, you get creative. Sometimes Mouse went to other places, like Canterlot and The Crystal Empire. And winter was Mouse's favorite season.

  Mouse saw the cabin up ahead and slowed his pace. Hearing the rusting of the trees and the howling of the wind in the night, Mouse took a deep breath with a grin. Mouse scraped his shoes on the outside rug and quietly opened the door. The fire had burnt out and the warmth the cabin once had vanished. Mouse walked around the couch and saw Rainbow slightly shivering. Mouse never liked seeing Rainbow Dash like this. He poked Rainbow Dash a few times, waking her up. Mouse saw her violet eyes glisten in the moonlight as she looked up at him. He slid his arms underneath her and let out a slight grunt as he picked her up in his arms.

  Rainbow Dash felt weird in Mouse's arms, but she also felt warm and melty. She laid her head on his chest and slid her hooves around him as she closed her eyes and sighed. Mouse opened Rainbow Dash's bedroom door with his foot and laid her down on her bed. Mouse pulled the blanket over her and turned on the heater. He smiled as her warmth coursed through his body.

  Mouse left her room, slowly closing the door behind him and walking back to the couch. He slumped down onto the couch and snuggled himself into his warm Batman jacket and stared up at the ceiling. The howling of the winter winds and the creaking of the cabin settling echoed through the house and his mind. Mouse closed his eyes and memories of him back on earth flooded into his mind. His mother's voice drowned out the sounds of reality as she began humming a lullaby. Mouse slowly drifted off to sleep as his mother's lullaby continued in his head.
