Chapter One: Darkest Day

Chapter One

Darkest Day

Stream's eyes shut, shivering from hearing the shouting coming from his boss. "Have you got any idea what you've done!" He shouted with unbelievable anger. "You could have killed ponies, what do you have to say for yourself?!" He asked.

Stream looked up. "It was a mistake... a miscalculation... I'm sorry..." He looked directly into his bosses eyes.

"This kind of screw up is unacceptable, the factory almost closed down because of you!" The boss shouted. "Hell it almost blew up! Taking half of Canterlot with it!"

"But sir..."

"I don't want to hear it! You got lucky when one of the workers realized what you were doing, as soon as the factory started shaking." The boss then sighed, walking around his desk and sat down. "I'm sorry Stream, but I'm afraid I'm going to have to let you go."

Stream stood up. "But sir, this is the only job I have, I made one mistake, it was the only one I made since I started working here two years ago!" Stream argued, keeping the tears in.

The boss shook his head. "My hooves are tied Stream, everypony sent in complaints today, about how you are starting to lose your edge." He informed.

Stream sighed. "Oh... it's just the problems with my wife sir..."

"I don't care about that, you can worry about your problems but that doesn't mean you have to bring them to work." The boss stared at him. "Gather your belongings from your locker." The boss said, his voice softer than it was before. "Goodbye Stream."

Stream nodded. "Goodbye sir..." Stream turned and left. He entered the locker room and opened his locker, gathering all his stuff and putting them in a box.

"The boss fired you huh...?" A voice began, Stream turned and noticed Chrome leaning against the lockers with a blank look on his face. "That sucks..."

Stream nodded, wiping some of the tears away.

"I'm going to miss you friend, I'm sorry about your wife also.".

Stream looked up, chuckling softly. "Oh don't worry about that, it was going to end sooner or later..." Stream closed his eyes, more tears began to flow down his face and onto the floor.

"Listen... if things get heavy, I know somepony in Ponyville that could help you out, she's actually a relative of mine." Chrome walked over and patted Stream on the back. "If you want..."

Stream looked up at Chrome and smiled. "S-sure..." He stuttered.

Chrome used his magic to pull out a slip of paper out of his coat pocket and levitated it over to Stream.

Stream held out his hoof, taking the paper. "Thank you..." He smiled, looking up at Chrome.

Chrome nodded. "It's the least I could do." He smiled, looking at the box of stuff. "Want me to help you with that?" Chrome asked.

Stream shook his head. "Nah... I got it..." Stream stood up and hurled the box onto his back above his wings. His head turned slightly. "Goodbye Chrome..." Stream said struggling a little to speak.

"Goodbye Stream Star, I hope it gets better for you..." Chrome said.

Stream sighed, nodding, and began walking. The walk to the exit wasn't helping, from getting a few mean looks from some of his co-workers, and them trying to fix his mistake.

Stream just wanted to get home, let's just hope his wife had left already.

Stream opened the door to his house and closed the door behind him. He turned to the living room and stopped, his wife staring right at him with saddlebags on her back.

Stream walked passed her and sat down on the couch. "Just go, don't let the door hit your rump on the way out."

"You're home early..." She said.

"Yeah... well..." Stream didn't look at her, all he did was stare at the coffee table. "I was fired..." He said softly.

A silence filled the room, his wife looked at him as he began to wipe his eyes, she then started to have regrets, but the damage was done.

She looked down. "Well... I should get going, I got a train to catch..." She said softly, slowly starting to walk away.

Stream didn't reply and the world as he knew it finally crumbled, his head turned to stare back at his wife walking out the door, making his heart burn.

As the door closed, the sound of it was the only thing that rang through Stream's head, and just like that, he headed to the fridge. He took out the half empty bottle of hard apple cider and poured some into a glass cup and chugged it down.

He kept at it for a while, till his head began to hurt, he stared at the bottle and his grip on the counter hardened. He screamed, taking the bottle and throwing it at the wall, watching it shatter into pieces.

He panted, staring at the wall with some of the apple cider dripping down the wall, he then tipped the glass cup over and headed for the bedroom that felt cold and dark... and lonely, just to get some rest.

The next day, Stream woke up late, realizing he slept for a whole twelve hours. But he still felt exhausted, but he got up and grabbed the box of stuff out in the living room and a slip of paper fell out of it.

Stream saw it and set down the box to pick it up, he then read it. 'Rarity, Carousal Boutique, Ponyville'

The walk over to the trains was hard for Stream, from all the dirty looks he was given, and the rain that forcefully slowed him down. At least he was lucky enough to catch the last train to Ponyville.

Stream stared down at the train floor, as the train bounced and shook. Since he took the last train, there was barely anypony on it. But the only thing Stream could think about right now was the pain that was both on the outside and inside. Stream heard a muffled voice but it zoomed past him, the same thought playing over and over in his head.

"Is everything alright sir?" The voice got louder as Stream was touched on the shoulder. He jumped, looking up at the train stewardess.

He growled slighty, leaning his head against the train wall. He waved his hoof towards the stewardess to leave.

The stewardess sighed. "Alright... I'll come back later..." She said, leaving.

Stream closed his eyes, getting more rest, Stream began to drift to sleep... Until the train hit a huge bump, and began to shake violently. "Huh...?" Stream opened his eyes slightly and it opened wide as the train hit another bump, launching Stream slightly. Stream got onto his hooves and looked out the window, looking towards the front of the train and saw it tilting, Stream's eyes widened as the train flipped off the tracks and off the cliff, into the fog that had surrounded a forest. The most dangerous forest of them all, and the train was crashing right into it.

Chapter Two: Injuries

Chapter Two

Injuries

Fluttershy held bowls of bird food, dog food, cat food, all kinds of animal food, she began serving the animals one by one. She closed her eyes and sighed, after she was finished she clapped her hooves together with a little giggle as she watched her animals eat.

CRASH!

The Animals and Fluttershy jumped, Fluttershy looked towards the door. "Oh my..." She headed towards the door and opened it. She looked over at the Everfree Forest and saw smoke coming from it. "What happened...?" She asked herself.

Fluttershy walked towards the entrance and heard galloping, she looked over and saw her friends slide next to her, Twilight was the first to speak. "Fluttershy, do you know what happened?" She asked.

"I don't know... I just heard the crash." Fluttershy said.

"Well we aren't going to find out what happened by standing around, let's go!" Applejack started galloping into the forest and the rest followed.

Streams eyes fluttered open, he twitched slightly and then grunted in pain, he looked down and saw blood and a something sharp popping out of his side. "Agh... By the name of Celestia..." He cursed. He slowly grabbed it with his hooves, starting to pull, but it didn't move, it was connected to the surface. "Ah... Great...." He mumbled.

Stream leaned a little and grunted slightly in pain, blood started spurting out of the wound. He looked around more and found out that he was mounted to the side of the crashed train. He planted his hooves behind him against the wall of the train and closed his eyes. "Okay... Okay.... One... Two... Three-AGH!" He pushed off of the wall and cried out in pain.

Stream fell onto the ground with a heavy grunt, Stream held his side where the wound was and began panting and swearing under his breath. He looked up, seeing a hole in the train wall. He grunted a little, trying to crawl out of it. As he felt the grass on his fur, he chuckled softly, seeing trees around him. "A forest.... fantastic..." Stream struggled as he began to stand up on his four legs; succeeding, he began to limp slowly. Until the loss of blood started to take it's toll making him dizzy, he slowly staggered. "No... stay up... For Luna's sake... stay up..." Everything blurred around him, and he lost the feeling in his legs and plummeted to the ground, his eyes slamming shut.

His eyes opened just a smudge to see figures heading towards him, his eyes closed again and he passed out.

Fluttershy gasped. "Look..." She pointed her hoof at the pony on the ground with the trail of blood behind him.

They ran over to his body and Twilight looked at her friends. "Rainbow Dash, head to the hospital, grab one of the doctors and bring him to Fluttershy's Cottage." Twilight ordered.

Rainbow saluted. "Got it." She flapped her wings and dashed to the hospital.

"Rarity and Pinkie Pie search the train for other survivors." Twilight ordered.

They both nodded and headed off.

"Applejack, carry him back to Fluttershy's Cottage, and Fluttershy, go with Applejack." Twilight ordered.

Applejack picked him up and planted him on her back, careful of his injury. "I'm on it, come on Fluttershy." Applejack began galloping and Fluttershy followed.

Twilight looked at the train, and looked up, seeing a giant fog that surrounded Canterlot and some of the train tracks. She looked down towards the train and searched for clues on what happened. "I need an expert..." She mumbled.

After a few hours of searching, Twilight and her friends waited outside of Fluttershy's room where Stream was put, until the doctor had walked outside.

Fluttershy was the first to stand up. "How is he?" She asked.

"I gave him a tetanus shot and bandaged him up." The doctor looked down.

He took off his glasses. "I've got good news and bad news." He started. "The good news is he's stable, he's in a slight coma and he won't wake up for at least a week."

Twilight looked up. "What's the bad news?" She asked.

The doctor used his magic to pull out his handkerchief and began cleaning his glasses, and sighed. "He..." He started. "The wound pierced through his Spleen, causing it to rupture. He also has a few broken ribs so he'll have to go through surgery, and we can't move him cause the wound will just get worse. We'll have to perform it here." He informed.

They all sat in silence, until the doctor spoke again. "I'm heading back to the hospital to gather some supplies." The doctor headed for the door and opened it.

"Thank you doctor." Fluttershy said, looking down, her hair starting to cover her face. The doctor turned, then smiled, closing the door behind him.

"How come he was the only one who got hurt?" Rainbow Dash asked. "From what I heard from you Rarity the others survived?"

"Quite, they were in a safe place during the crash and they got slight injury but nothing major." Rarity informed.

Twilight looked at Fluttershy with a concerned look. "Are you alright Fluttershy?" She asked.

Everypony in the room looked over at her, she looked up slightly. "Oh... I'm fine... I just can't imagine how much pain he must be in..." She said, sniffing. "But he'll be okay..." She smiled, sitting up slightly.

Twilight nodded, she then sighed, looking down. "I hope..." She whispered under her breath.

A soft fog covered Stream's view, he looked around confused on where he might be. "Where am I...?" He asked himself.

"A place between Life and Death." A voice answered.

Stream looked around. "Who are you?" He asked, not seeing anyone.

"I am in charge of the Holy Land." The voice spoke again, then a figure came out of the fog and it's wings and tall horn shined brightly as her eyes opened. "Also known as the Queen."

Stream realized what she said. "Am...." He started. "Am I dead?" He asked.

She shook her head. "You are currently in a coma, but near death." She informed. "Ponies who have been in tragic accidents end up here, and this is where I meet them, giving them an ultimatum."

Stream looked down. "Let me guess, live or die?" He asked.

The Queen's eyes shut, as she slowly nodded, she stood tall. "You may take all the time you need, but be aware. try to make sure to look at every detail, and choose your answer wisely and precisely. It could change your life forever..." The Queen's wings began flapping.

"Wait! Why am I dying? Why does this have to happen to me?" Stream asked.

"If I tell you know, it could create a paradox. I'm sorry..." The Queen lifted off the ground.

"Will I find out?" Stream asked.

The Queen simply smiled and disappeared behind the fog, leaving Stream alone.

Stream sighed, feeling the loneliness inside him. He was in some sort of hall, the fog were the walls. On one end was darkness, and the other was brightness, he looked closer at the brightness, seeing a figure.

"Hello son..." A voice spoke.

Stream gasped and stood up, starting to trot over but his father held up a hoof, shaking his head. "It's not your time yet, you still too young." He informed.

"But Dad... I have nothing left..." Stream said.

"I know... but it's not over yet, you've made mistakes. Look at your Cutie Mark son, why would you want to work at a factory?" His father asked.

Stream turned, raising his wing and getting a look at his Cutie Mark, seeing the twirls of a black line and a music note in the middle of it. "I don't know what it means..." He said sadly, his ears drooping down.

"Why don't you find out?" His father asked.

"Shouldn't I have when I first got it?" Stream asked.

"It's because you don't remember." His father pointed out.

Stream looked down. "I miss you..." Stream looked up at his father, with sadness in his eyes.

"I miss you too my son, but I'm not ready to see my son die just yet. You need to start a family, have a happy life, not lose your life with only sadness. That would break my heart, so go, find yourself, and find a mare." His father began to grin. "I love you my son."

Stream smiled, teary. "I love you too dad... You're right... it's only going to get harder, but you've always taught me to keep going." Stream stood tall, wiping the tears away and keeping the smile. "I'll make you proud."

His father nodded. "That's my boy."

The doctor had come back and started the surgery, Fluttershy listened in only to hear the heart monitor on the other side.

she just stared at the ground, her eyes beginning to close as she only heard the heart monitor in her ears.

At the end of the surgery, the heart monitor began to flatline.

The doctor turned to it, then looked down at Stream. "His heart stopped, grab the crash cart!"

Fluttershy gasped hearing the flatline, she turned to stare at the door, panting softly, feeling as if she was the only one hearing it.

"Have you made your decision?" The Queen asked.

Stream smiled, looking up at the Queen before bowing. "I have your highness." He then turned towards the brightness, seeing his father wink.

"What do you choose?" The Queen asked.

Stream smiled. "Life." He pushed down on his hooves and launch himself into a gallop towards the blackness, and the world around him started to disappear.

"Clear!" The doctor shouted, planting the defibrillator on Stream's body making it jolt from the sudden shock, then Stream's heart began beating again.

The doctor sighed in relief. "...Thank Celestia. Alright, we're done here." He said taking off his gloves and putting them in a safety bin.

The nurses stitched up his wound that they had made in order to perform the surgery and began to clean up.

The doctor opened the door and Fluttershy stood up, looking over at him. "What happened?" Fluttershy asked.

The doctor sighed. "His heart stopped beating, but he's fine. We took a few samples of his blood and fluid, we are going to run a few tests to see if he has any symptoms." The doctor informed.

Fluttershy smiled. "Thank you doctor."

"He'll be waking up in a week, but we've got to get going if we're going to find out if there is anything wrong with him." The doctor looked directly at Fluttershy "Let me know if anything unusual happens," He then turned towards the door. "And take care of him."

Fluttershy nodded. "I'll do my best." She then looked over at the room where Stream laid. The doctor and the nurses both left, and Fluttershy continued to stare at the door. She then took a deep breath.

Fluttershy entered the room and sat next to Stream. "I hope you like Animals..." She smiled. "Cause you'll be seeing a lot when you wake up."

Chapter Three: Waking Up

Chapter Three

Waking Up

Stream's eyes opened slightly, his entire body felt numb. He then smiled, chuckling softly. "I'm alive..." He mumbled, then he realized the numbness. "I think..." He looked down seeing a white bunny looking at him at the foot of the bed. "Hello there...." He said softly, the bunny then jumped off the bed and out the room.

Stream chuckled softly, then the numbness in his body began go away and the pain in his side came back. "Agh... Definitely alive... " He grunted painfully.

Angel hopped into the kitchen where Fluttershy was and tried to get her attention.

"What is it Angel?" Fluttershy asked. "Is he up?"

Angel nodded his head, and Fluttershy flapped her wings, making her way to the room, opening the door slightly.

Stream was holding his side, close to his wound. "Celestia... Damn it..." He grunted slightly, lifting himself to get off the bed but Fluttershy stopped him.

"Don't get up." She warned.

Stream looked up at her, stopping where he was. "Why not...?" He asked, slightly stuttering.

"Cause your wound will get worse." She informed. "What do you need?" She asked softly.

"Painkillers... please..." Stream softly uttered.

Fluttershy smiled, nodding. "I'll be right back." She said softly before exiting the room.

Stream got back in bed and sat back, his lip quivered as to say something but nothing came out.

Fluttershy made her way to the kitchen, finishing up the breakfast she had made for herself. She decided to give it to Stream instead, she could always make more. She set the breakfast on a tray with a smile, she also poured him some water, putting a few painkillers on the side and picked up the tray.

Stream looked around the room, until he felt his stomach rumble, making his wound hurt more. "Agh..." He grunted softly.

Fluttershy entered the room. "Alright, I got you some breakfast and water." She said softly, putting the tray on his lap, seeing a smile perk up on his face, making her smile.

Stream sighed. "I love pancakes..." He said softly. He grabbed the pills and put it in his mouth, washing it down with the water.

"I'm glad." She said softly. "So... if you have any questions, I'll try to answer it for you." She offered.

Stream thought for a second, then smiled. "Can I ask for your name?" He asked.

Fluttershy smiled, nodding. "It's Fluttershy." She answered a little quieter than usual.

Stream sighed. "Okay, on to the real questions. What happened after the crash?" He asked.

Fluttershy looked up at him. "Well, we had a doctor look at you, he found out that you had ruptured your spleen. He had to perform surgery on you." She said. "We couldn't take you to a hospital because the wound would only get worse, and we didn't want that."

"We?" Stream asked.

"Oh, me and my friends, we found at the train." She informed.

Stream looked down at his bandaged wound and sighed. "Well that sucks... Do you know why the train crashed?" He asked.

"That's where I come in." A voice spoke, Stream and Fluttershy looked at the door to see a pony in a leather suit and hat, next to him was Twilight.

The Detective walked in, pipe in mouth, making his way next to Stream.

Twilight went up to Fluttershy. "Fluttershy, come with me."

Stream shouted in his mind. 'Holy crap is that the Princess?!'

Fluttershy looked at Twilight. "What's going on?" She asked.

Twilight sighed. "I'll tell you out here, let the Detective work." She said.

Fluttershy nodded. "I'll be right back Stream." She said, before Twilight and her left the room.

Stream was confused. "What happened?" He asked.

"I'm afraid I have bad news..." The Detective pulled the pipe out of his mouth with his magic. "From all the evidence I could gather about the train accident I came up with the conclusion that you might not be happy to hear." He then sighed, putting the pipe back in his mouth.

"And what's that?" Stream asked, slightly afraid.

"It wasn't an accident."

Fluttershy looked at Twilight confused. "What do you mean it wasn't an accident?" She asked.

Twilight sighed. "The train's engine was tampered with, The engine was shoved with tons of coal, making it go of it's hinges from the pressure. That's how it fell off the cliff and into the forest." She informed.

"But where is the pony that was working the engine?" Fluttershy asked.

"He disappeared." Twilight said. "Whoever was working on the train used magic, I could tell from the magic aura around it. The culprit was a unicorn."

Fluttershy gasped. "What do I do?" She asked.

Twilight looked over at the room and sighed. "I need you to keep him safe, I don't think the pony who did this would investigate a home of a quiet one." She smiled.

Fluttershy nodded. "I'm on it." She said proudly.

Twilight closed her eyes. "Be careful..." She said.

The Detective entered the room. "Twilight, we need to get going."

Twilight turned, then nodded. "Alright Detective."

The Detective headed towards the door and Twilight followed. "Goodbye Fluttershy."

"Bye Twilight." Fluttershy waved softly.

She then sighed, turning towards the other room.

Stream stared at the edge of the bed from the sudden news, he began thinking. "Who would go this far to do this to me...?" He asked himself.

Fluttershy entered the room again and looked at Stream. "Are you okay?" She asked.

Stream looked over at her. "I'm fine." He said softly, eating more of the pancakes.

"We can continue our conversation...." She then covered her face with her hair slightly. "If... If that's alright with you..." She said softly.

Stream smiled. "Of course, I have to ask, you're friends with the Princess?" He asked.

"Why yes I am," Fluttershy smiled proudly. "Did you want to meet her?" She asked.

"No, it's fine, when can I get up?" Stream asked.

"Oh... that's not for another few days. I'm sorry..."

"Nah... that's okay, I have you to entertain me." He softly said.

Fluttershy blushed slightly. "Well, a few friends are coming over later. Maybe they would like to meet you, if that's alright." Fluttershy said, she then gasped "Oh... I'm so sorry... I never asked for your name..."

Stream smiled. "It's alright Fluttershy, you don't need to apologize for everything, I'm Stream Star."

Fluttershy smiled. "Stream..." She said softly.

"That's my name, don't wear it out." Stream chuckled, making Fluttershy chuckle a little.

Fluttershy then looked up at him with a smile. "So, anything else?" She asked.

Stream sighed. "Where am I?"

Fluttershy then giggle. "Oh... you're in my cottage in Ponyville"

"Ah... I also noticed you have a pet bunny." Stream pointed out.

Fluttershy nodded. "That's Angel, I asked him to watch you and tell me when you woke up."

"Well, I'm guessing you talk to animals?" He asked.

"Why yes, I do. I also have all sorts of animals; dogs, mice, cats, birds." She sighed softly. "I just love them all so much, it's also what resembles my Cutie Mark."

"Yeah..." Stream sighed sadly, eating the rest of the pancakes. "I think I'm going to get some rest."

Fluttershy nodded, she noticed he was finished and took the tray for him. "Alright, just call for me when you need anything." Fluttershy headed for the door.

"Thank you, Fluttershy."

Fluttershy blushed. "You're welcome." She said before leaving the room.

Stream smiled, looking down at his Cutie Mark. He then laid down and closed his eyes.

Fluttershy put the tray away and sat down on her couch, feeling her heartbeat and the butterflies that filled her stomach. "Am..." She mumbled to herself. "Am I starting to like him...?" She asked herself.

All that she could think now is that what kind of pony would do something to somepony so nice? And that answer is not to be known just yet.

Something good and dramatic, hope you guys I liking it so far. ~Enjoy

Chapter Four: The Start of Something New

Chapter Four

The Start of Something New

A few weeks passed by and Stream was up and walking around, he decided to stay for a while to help out Fluttershy.

"Thank you so much for helping me Stream, I've been a little behind lately." Fluttershy smiled, holding a few bowls of food.

Stream took one of the bowls for her. "Stop, it's the least I could do for saving me."

Fluttershy shook her head. "Oh... But I wasn't the one who helped you-"

"But you did." Stream interrupted. "You took care of me when I was bedridden, a complete stranger. I have you to thank for that, and plus I love your pancakes." Stream chuckled.

Fluttershy blushed, making Stream keep the smile. "Let's feed the animals." Stream said happily, flying past her and into the living room.

Angel looked over at the animals and nodded nonchalantly. Stream and Fluttershy didn't notice though, they were more focused on serving the animals.

Stream served the animals near the door, and Fluttershy served the ones near the staircase. Stream had noticed that one of the animals had nodded out the window, but Stream shrugged and thought it was nothing, until...

*Knock* *Knock* *Knock*

Stream turned to Fluttershy, who began trotting over to the door. "I'll get that." She smiled. "I wonder who it- Woah-Ah!" Fluttershy tripped, colliding into Stream.

Stream fell onto his back and Fluttershy fell on top of him, her hair falling to the side.

Stream groaned slightly, opening his eyes and seeing Fluttershy on him, making him blush slightly.

Fluttershy leaned up slightly. "Oh! I'm so sorry, I didn't mea-" Fluttershy's eyes opened and she realized where she was... How close she was to his... her entire face blushed, trying to hold in a whimper.

And in a second, Fluttershy was off him, dashing upstairs and into the bathroom. "I'mgoingtotakeabath!" She said fast, before slamming the door behind her.

Stream slowly stood up. "What just happened...?" He asked himself. He walked over to the front door and opened it.

There was no one on the other side. "What..." He started thinking, the animals nodding out the window. Stream looked back inside and saw a string on the floor where Fluttershy tripped, Stream smiled and looked down shaking his head. "Clever little things..." He mumbled before closing the door.

Stream slowly flew upstairs and knocked on the bathroom door. "Are you alright in there Fluttershy?" He asked.

"I'm fine..." Fluttershy said high pitched, and whimpered slightly.

"Okay..." Stream sighed. "I'll just wait out here."

Fluttershy basically tried hiding herself in the tub, hoping he wouldn't come in.

Stream then went back to the kitchen and began to make Fluttershy some lunch before she comes out of the bathroom, he guessed she got a little nervous from the position they were in. He then thought if he should tell her if it was the animals that put them together that way or not.

Stream finished making lunch and sighed, he decided not to tell her, he didn't want her to give a lecture to them. Although he did like it, he didn't really ask for that.

After he finished pouring some water, there was knock at the door. He left the kitchen and over to the door to answer it, what was on the other side was a white unicorn with stylish purple hair. "Hi, you must be one of Fluttershy's friends." Stream guessed.

"The name is Rarity, and yes, is Fluttershy here?" She asked.

"Why yes, she's taking a bath..." Stream cut himself off and then turned to her. "Rarity?" He asked as if to know if he heard that right.

"What is it dear?"

"I know a pony named Chrome Charmer that lives in Canterlot, are you related to him?" Stream asked, with a smile.

Rarity smiled. "Why yes, I am. He's actually going to move here, he quit his job after an accident that had occurred, something about the factory almost blowing up..."

Stream then frowned. "Oh yeah... that..." He opened the door more. "Please, come in, Fluttershy should be out soon."

Rarity came in and tapped her chin. "Weird... Fluttershy doesn't normally take baths at this time of day."

"Well, we had an awkward situation and she just... kind of... overreacted a bit." Stream informed.

Rarity giggled. "Well, she's shy my dear, you may have known that."

Stream nodded. "Well that explains half of it."

Rarity sighed, sitting down on Fluttershy's couch. "So, tell me how you met Chrome."

"Well that's a story." Stream chuckled. "We actually fought over a mare, and then we realized she was taken. We both ended up laughing about it, saying never to fight over a mare again. Then we sort of just clicked after hanging out one day, we both applied for the same job." Stream sighed happily. "He was awesome."

"I bet, he was more of the prankster when we had visits." Rarity chuckles softly.

Stream smiled. "Yeah, his pranks sometimes go over the edge." He pointed out.

"Why yes, I remember he made a giant hoof and covered it in whip cream and hit me with it." Rarity giggled a bit.

"Really? He did that to me." Stream chuckled.

While Stream and Rarity talked, Fluttershy heard the conversation outside. "Oh... I really don't want to go back out there... but someone's over..." She took a deep breath, getting rid of the blush that was on her face.

She got out of the tub and began to dry herself off. "Oh... what if he want's to talk about what happened... I hope he hasn't told anypony that..." Fluttershy finally worked up the nerve and headed for the door.

Rarity then thought for a second. "I have to ask, what was this awkward moment with Fluttershy?" She asked.

Stream thought for a second. "Well, we were feeding the animals whe-"

The door to the bathroom opened and Fluttershy came out. "Rarity... When did you get here?"

Rarity smiled. "Just a few minutes ago, Stream was just telling me that awkward moment you guys had."

"He..." Fluttershy gulped. "Was...?"

Rarity shrugged. "Well, not the whole story, he was just starting."

Fluttershy sighed in relief. "What are you doing here Rarity?" She asked.

Rarity stood up off the couch and smiled. "Why it's a our weekly spa visit of course." Rarity reminded.

Fluttershy gasped. "Oh... I forgot... I'm sorry."

"It's alright deary, I just wanted to see how Stream was doing anyway, and you caused us quite a scare." Rarity said, poking Stream on the chest.

"But you barely know me." Stream pointed out.

Rarity smiled with a simple shake of her head. "And you barely know us."

Stream chuckled. "Touche."

"Well Fluttershy, shall we get going?" Rarity asked.

Fluttershy nodded. "Of course." They both headed over to the door. "I'll be back." She said to Stream.

Stream waved and looked over at the kitchen, at the sandwich he had made Fluttershy. He then sighed softly, watching them leave.

Fluttershy left the cottage and her blush came back, and Rarity turned halfway through the door and grinned. "And for the record, I think you two would make such a cute couple."

Stream smiled and nodded, Rarity closed the door behind her and Stream went over to the kitchen and picked up the sandwich. He made his way to the couch and sighed happily, looking at his lovely sandwich. "Well can't let this go to-" Stream's eyes widened and he looked towards the door. "...Wait, what did she just say?!"

Author's Note

Ooh, what's Stream going to do now? Fluttershy likes him and he doesn't even know it, but the animals know, as you can tell. XD

By the way, the drama doesn't end there! ~Enjoy

Chapter Five: The Painful Truth

Chapter Five

The Party

A few days later, Stream and Fluttershy attended a party that Pinkie had started in Sugarcube Corner where everypony was invited, Stream decided it might be fun; although, he couldn't get what Rarity said to him out of his head.

"And for the record, I think you two would make such a cute couple."

After that Stream would occasionally look over at Fluttershy, it seemed as if it was the only thing that kept him going for awhile now.

"Why are you staring at Fluttershy like that?" Pinkie asked behind him.

"Ah!" Stream jumped, looking over at Pinkie. "Luna... Pinkie, don't sneak up on me like that."

"Well, sorry. I just wanted to know why you keep looking at Fluttershy."

Stream shrugged. "I don't know..." He looked back over at Fluttershy and drank from his cup. "I really don't know." Stream then stared at his drink, beginning to mix it slowly.

Pinkie then tapped his shoulder. "Don't be so glum, smile, get up and party like it's your last, I promise you you'll love it!" Pinkie then hopped back to the dance floor.

Stream sighed, finishing off his drink and asked for another.

Fluttershy noticed him sitting over there and turned her head to the side, she decided to go over there to see what was wrong. "Is everything alright Stream?" She asked calmly.

Stream turned to her and smiled. "Yeah... I'll be okay."

Fluttershy then sat next to him. "What is it?" She asked.

Stream shrugged. "Well, to be honest... I didn't really have such good luck a few weeks back, including the train crash and ruptured spleen."

Stream sighed, ready to finally work up to what he did. "Remember Rarity telling you about a factory almost blowing up in Canterlot?" Stream asked.

Fluttershy nodded slightly.

"That was my fault..." Stream confessed.

Fluttershy slightly gasped. "What happened?" She asked.

Stream nodded. "I messed up on my calculations... I could've sworn nothing was wrong with it when I tested it..."

"I'm so sorry..." Fluttershy whispered, rubbing his back.

"I lost everything, I lost my job, my house, I lost so much... And that's when I decided to move to Ponyville." Stream explained, he didn't want to mention he had a wife.

"Is there anything I can do?" Fluttershy asked.

Stream shook his head. "You've done enough, and I appreciate all that you have done for me." Stream smiled, looking down slightly. "Fluttershy... I was wonder if-"

He was cut off by the sound of a thud and a loud scream from a mare, they both turned in shock. A mare was on the floor, her hooves covering her face. Stream saw the stallion that stood above the mare, the stallion's face burned red hot with rage as he screamed at her. "What in Tartarus is wrong with you!?"

Stream stared at what was happening, his hooves gripping the counter. "Excuse me..." He said to Fluttershy before he stood up.

"Hey! Leave her alone!" Twilight shouted.

The stallion turned to her. "Shut up Princess Bitch!"

"Honey, please stop!" The mare on the ground cried.

Stream stood a few feet away while the stallion was screaming with a passion that Stream had never seen before. "You too whore. Is that how you're going to act towards me?! You don't EVER-"

Stream cut him off. "Hey!" The stallion turned to Stream. "What are you doing?" Stream asked.

"Non of your business!" The stallion shouted.

Stream put his hoof down. "So what if it's not my business? You just hit somepony you bucker!" Stream shouted back.

The stallion growled as he stomped up to Stream, going up face to face with him. "You starting something with me colt?" The stallion asked. "Cause I'll buck your ass up!"

"Like that's going to make a difference." Stream took a step forward towards him, staring him directly in the eye, letting him know he wasn't afraid.

"And what are you going to do about it? Come on, hit me you coward!" The stallion shouted.

Stream shook his head. "I'm not going to do that cause I'm not a self..." Stream leaned in closer "...Centered." and closer. "...Jackass."

The stallion looked directly into Stream's eyes with more rage then he let on, but Stream didn't budge. "This isn't over kid." And just like that, the stallion shoulder bumped him as he headed towards the front door. "I'd watch your back if I were you." The stallion warned before leaving.

"Asshole..." Stream looked over at the mare, he went over and leaned down. "Are you alright?" Stream asked.

The mare looked up at him, she then pulled him into a hug and she bawled into his shoulder. "Shh.... It's okay..." He whispered. "He's gone..."

Stream pulled away from the hug. "Listen... talk to somepony that could help you, somepony that could help you get away from that stallion."

The mare nodded her head. "T-thank you..." She stuttered.

Stream nodded, then stood up and looked around the room to see all eyes looking at him. "So that's it huh? One pony actually stood up to that guy while the rest of you just sat there?" Stream sighed shaking his head. "What a load of horse shit..." He mumbled, making his way back to his seat. "Sorry about that, want a drink?" He asked Fluttershy.

Fluttershy stared at him with awe. "S-sure..." She stuttered.

The party began to start again, starting to forget what happened. Just making it seem like it had never did, making Stream a little bit more mad. "Who was that anyway?" He asked Fluttershy.

Fluttershy opened her mouth to speak but somepony else did.

"It was the Mayor's nephew." A voice spoke, Stream gulped, recognizing the voice. "Hello Stream."

Stream closed his eyes with a slight groan as he looked down. "I thought you moved to Fillydelphia?"

"Well, It wasn't what I thought it was."

Stream turned around meeting the gaze of his Ex-Wife. "Well Heart, it's been awhile."

Heart nodded. "Well, it has been a few weeks. I think it was really nice what you did back there."

Stream shrugged. "Well somepony had to do something."

She looked over at Fluttershy with a smile. "Aren't you going to introduce me to your new friend?" She asked.

Stream nodded. "Heart this is Fluttershy, Fluttershy... this is my Ex-Wife Heart." He said.

Fluttershy politely waved, but on the inside she was confused.

Heart smiled. "Well I got to get going, and Stream..." Heart leaned in close to his ear, and whispered. "It was nice seeing you again..."

Stream stared across the room, then nodded. "Yeah..."

Heart simply nodded goodbye and walked away.

Fluttershy looked over at Stream, curiosity got the better of her. "Why didn't you mention you had a wife?" She asked.

"Because ponies would start asking questions and I don't want to talk about it." He rubbed his eyes slightly, chugging down his drink.

Fluttershy shuddered a little, as much as she wanted to know she kept to herself. "I'm sorry... I didn't mean to ask..."

Stream put a hoof up. "It's alright... just stay out of it." He said. "Mrs. Cake, just bring me the bottle."

After that moment, Fluttershy noticed the pain in his eyes, seeing it start to water but also wanted to keep it hidden. The life that had been thrown away, causing her to stand up and back away slowly. "I... I..." She stuttered. "I'll see you at the cottage." She rushed out of the building, leaving Stream alone.

Stream sighed, until Rarity walked. "What was that all abou-"

"DON'T!" Stream snapped, gripping the table slightly.

Rarity jumped back slightly. "Are you alrigh-"

"I SAID DON'T!" Stream shouted, standing up. "JUST STOP ASKING, I'M FINE DAMN IT!"

Stream got frustrated and stormed out of Sugarcube Corner, leaving everypony in surprise.

Stream headed back to the cottage, he didn't see Fluttershy anywhere. He also didn't hear the slight crying coming from Fluttershy's room. Stream closed his eyes and sighed. He headed to the bathroom and shut the door behind him, taking a nice hot bath to calm his nerves.

Back at the party, Rarity sat down while watching the door. "He... yelled at me..." She said. "In other words, screamed."

"He didn't mean to, he just snapped, that's it." Twilight said.

Rarity looked down. "Well, it's about time this party ended, I'm going to go ahead and head back to the Boutique if you need me."

Twilight nodded. "Bye Rarity." as she began to leave herself, Twilight thought of something. 'The detective has a box of stuff that belongs to Stream, maybe I could get one of them and bring it back to him, might make him feel better.' She thought to herself.

Twilight sighed, as she exited Sugarcube Corner as did everypony else. The party didn't seem that fun anymore and there might not be another one for quite a while.

Twilight made her way over to the Detective's office and entered. "Ace, can I ask for a favor?"

The Detective sat down at his desk and smoked from the pipe. "What is it Princess?"

"Stream had this mental breakdown and I was wondering if he had any stuff that I could give him back that would make him feel better." Twilight explained.

The Detective shrugged, searching through the box. "I don't think any of this stuff would make him feel better, I mean look at these medical reports...." The detective used his magic to get Twilight a copy of the medical reports. "I feel bad for the poor stallion."

Twilight scanned through the paper and then gasped.

"Listen, it's about time I started going over the evidence again, you can have that paper, It's just a copy." The Detective said.

"Well, what do I do with this?" Twilight asked.

"Do whatever you want, I got evidence to analyze, I think I might be getting somewhere." The Detective used his magic to lift some items from the box and onto his desk.

"Okay, call Fluttershy's house when you figure something out." Twilight informed.

The Detective nodded as Twilight rushed out of his office and over to Fluttershy's house.

The Detective looked at the items and sighed. "Well, let's get started..."

Twilight galloped up to Fluttershy's front door, and she knocked on it over and over, beginning to walk in place from losing patience. "Come on, Fluttershy..." She knocked on the door again until Fluttershy answered.

Fluttershy had her face covered with her hair, and it looked like she had been crying. "Oh... Hey... *Sniff* Twilight..." Fluttershy put on a fake smile.

"Oh Fluttershy..." Twilight saw passed the fake smile and pulled Fluttershy into a hug.

Fluttershy cried softly. "What are you doing here...?"

Twilight pulled out of the hug and walked into her cottage. "Because I think I know why Stream became so upset." She used her magic to hand Fluttershy the medical reports.

Fluttershy began reading through it and gasped, looking up at Twilight. She finally knew the painful truth about why Heart divorced Stream, and it wasn't good.

Twilight set the paper on Fluttershy's coffee table. "It's his medical records, Fluttershy... He's sterile."

Author's Note

OH SNAP! More drama! Will I ever stop!? XD

P.S if you don't know what sterile means, it just means you can't have kids. ~Enjoy

Chapter Six: Clues

Chapter Six

Clues

"Alright Ace Swift..." The Detective said to himself. "Use that brain of yours."

The Detective looked at the three items that he had gotten out of the box of evidence that he had claimed from the train. "Okay, a notepad with numbers on them, a copy of his medical records, and some of the coal that the culprit had used." The Detective said to himself.

The Detective lifted the notepad with his magic and began to go through it. "Hmm... Why do you look familiar?" He asked himself, as he looked through it something changed. "Wait..." He went back a bit. "I've seen this before..."

the Detective opened a drawer and pulled out a Canterlot Newspaper and read the heading. "Factory Causes Scare." The Detective read.

He began to piece together what connected the notepad to the factory. "Wait a minute... This is Stream's calculations that almost caused the Factory to explode." He began to read through the notepad again, noticing something off. "Huh... this is interesting..."

He looked closer and began to see erase marks, something above it was in a different hoof writing. "That's weird, back a page it's all rushed and a bit sloppy and the next all neat like it was written with..." The Detective's eyes widened. "...Magic."

He then began to laugh. "Not only is the culprit trying to kill him, he's trying to ruin his life and If that's the case, I have a hunch."

The Detective set down the notepad and picked up the phone, he used his magic to put in the number that was on the Medical Reports. And the doctor had answered the phone.

"Excuse me, my name is Detective Ace and I would like to confirm a Medical Report by the name of Stream Star, it says here that he's sterile?"

"Thank you very much." The Detective hung up the phone and smiled. "Now, the coal." The Detective lifted it up and began scanning it, both with vision and magic. "This is going to take quite a while."

To scan for magic would take time and precision, if done correctly he would either get the color the unicorn's magic or a name. It all depends on how the culprit used his magic, sloppy or straight.

After about thirty minutes of analyzing it, he got what he was looking for. "Couldn't get a name but I got a color... Light Blue." He mumbled.

The Detective chuckled."Well then, better call Twilight." The Detective lifted up the phone and started to dial the number that Twilight told him to call before she left.

As Twilight answered the phone, the sound of hysterical crying was in the background. "Hello?"

"Twilight, I need you to get over here, bring Stream." The Detective informed.

Twilight sighed. "Now that's going to be a problem..."

"Why?" The Detective asked.

"Because he's gone."

"What?" The Detective asked, confused. "What do you mean he's gone?"

"He snapped again and... Well..." Twilight pulled the phone away, so The Detective could hear Fluttershy crying.

"Oh..." The Detective's eyes widened as he saw one more thing in the box, that sent an epiphany through him. "Twilight, look for him. Now."

"What? Why?" She asked.

"Because the culprit is in Ponyville, Stream is in more danger than he thinks."

"Okay, what are you going to do?" Twilight asked.

"I got to find this culprit." The Detective then hung up the phone, taking the item that he saw in the box and grabbed his coat to put it on.

He also grabbed his hat putting it on his head and with a grin he said. "Now this is where things get confusing..."

Fifteen Minutes Ago

Fluttershy's Cottage

Stream sighed as he exited the bathroom, he felt calmed and collected. He began to walk downstairs when he saw Fluttershy. "Fluttershy... W-what's wrong?" He asked.

Fluttershy shook her head, slightly looking away.

"Twilight... What are you doing here?" Stream asked, he then saw the paper on the coffee table, but didn't recognize it. "What's that?" He asked.

Twilight grabbed it with her magic and quickly hid it behind her. "Nothing!"

Stream looked at her with confusion, he then started thinking of theories. 'Maybe it's a page of the factory and Fluttershy said something.' Stream's eyes widened. 'What if they found out I was...'

"Twilight..." Stream croaked. "Are those my Medical Reports?" Stream asked. As much as he didn't want them to know, it was already hard to think about it.

Twilight looked down, then nodded softly. "I'm so sor-"

"Don't! I don't want your sympathy!" Stream snapped. "So what did you really come here for? Come to laugh at me? Just like everypony else?" Stream asked.

Twilight shook her head, she went to say something but Stream continued.

"Or did you come here to shove it in my face?" Stream asked.

"No, we didn't." Twilight said. "I know how you must fe-"

"NO!" Stream shouted. "You have NO IDEA, how I feel!" Stream closed his eyes, taking a deep breath. "You don't know how it feels to know that you can't have foals, you don't know how it feels to know that you failed to be a parent you dream of being... Twilight, it hurts to think that my father must be ashamed of me. Before he died, he told me how he would miss seeing his grandchildren."

Fluttershy's jaw dropped and quivered slightly as she looked down, trying to hold back the tears but they kept flowing as she softly cried.

"Looks like he wouldn't miss anything." Stream began to struggle speaking. "You know what..." Stream walked past them to the door and opened it.

"Wait, don't go!" Fluttershy called out, tears streaming down her face.

Stream turned around halfway through the door, as much as he wanted to come back in... he just couldn't. And then he said something that he would regret saying."You should of left me to die." He said before he slammed the door behind him.

Fluttershy gasped softly as she felt so much pain, her legs began shaking, her head booming insults on how it was her fault he acted this way. She then began to cry hysterically, her legs giving away as she cover her face on the floor.

Twilight looked down, wrapping her arm around Fluttershy. "Shh... It's alright Fluttershy..."

"N-no... It's n-not..." Fluttershy cried. "I-I feel s-so bad..."

"It's not your fault..." Twilight whispered.

The phone rang and Twilight used her magic to answer it. "Hello?"

Stream walked slowly down the path to the apartments, but he took a detour. At the party, he wasn't too proud of himself at yelling at ponies that didn't deserve it. He is going to apologize to Fluttershy and Twilight later on, but first...

*Knock* *Knock* *Knock*

Stream waited and the door to the Carousal Boutique opened.

"Hello?" A little filly answered.

"Hey... Is Rarity there?" Stream asked.

"Yeah, hang on." The filly moved away from the door. "Rarity!" She shouted.

"What is it Sweetie Belle, I'm a little-" Rarity saw Stream and stared at him. "...busy."

Stream smiled nervously. "Hey, Rarity... Look, I came here to apologize about yelling at you."

Rarity nodded. "Well, that's very nice of you to apologize, but it was still uncalled for."

Stream sighed. "Yeah yeah I know, but listen... I just wanted to let you know that I really appreciate everything you have done for me. I'm sorry, and if you're still mad at me... I'll understand."

Rarity stared at him, then smiled. "Here, you said you knew Chrome Charmer?" She asked, handing him a slip of paper.

"Yeah?" Stream took the slip and read it. 'Ponyville Apartments, 21

"That's where he lives, I told you he was moving here." Rarity reminded.

Stream chuckled. "Must of forgot... Thank you."

"You're welcome, I thought it would nice for you to meet Chrome again. You sure know a lot about him."

Stream chuckled again. "Well, he IS my best friend after all."

Rarity smiled. "Have a nice night." She said, closing the door.

"You too." Stream said before the door closed.

Stream looked at the paper and smiled. "Chrome..."

Stream turned and headed towards the apartments, with a smile on his face.

*Knock* *Knock* *Knock*

The door to the apartment opened and Chrome stood there. "Holy crap, if it isn't Stream Star. How are you?" He asked.

Stream's smile started to drift. "Not very well to be honest..." Stream sighed.

Chrome put a hoof on his shoulder. "Please, come on in." Chrome offered as he opened the door more.

Stream smiled. "Thanks." He said as he entered. "Nice place you got here." Stream complemented.

Chrome nodded. "All those years working at the factory really paid off."

"Yeah..." Stream sighed. "I'm exhausted man, is there any chance I might be able to sleep here tonight?" Stream asked.

"Of course my friend, anything for you." Chrome patted Stream on his back. "I'll tell you what, you can take my room and I'll sleep on the couch."

"Thank you... Night Chrome." Stream slowly dragged himself to the bedroom.

"Night Stream." Chrome smiled as he sat down on the couch, watching him enter the bedroom.

Stream collapsed onto the bed, shutting his eyes.

*Knock* *Knock* *Knock*

As the door opened the Detective took off his hat. "Rarity?"

Rarity opened the door more. "Detective, what are you doing here?"

"I have some questions." The Detective answered.

"Sure... Come in." Rarity moved away from the door and the Detective entered, the door closing behind him.

Chapter Seven: Somepony You'd Least Expect

Chapter Seven

Somepony You'd Least Expect

In the morning Stream had left Chrome's apartment and started heading over to Fluttershy's house to apologize for being melodramatic.

"Hey Kid!" The stallion shouted.

Stream stopped, turning around. "What?"

The stallion got close to Stream. "You and me, right here, right now."

Stream shook his head, turning to leave. "Not right now, I've got better things to do then waste my time on you."

"Come on, chicken." The stallion began to mock Stream.

Stream turned back around. "I'm not going to hit you." Stream repeated.

The stallion smirked. "That just makes it a whole lot easier." The stallion raised his hoof.

But the stallions arm got caught with magic, a purple aura around his forearm sent it down onto the ground, pinning him there.

Stream chuckled till he turned around and saw Twilight, she didn't seem very happy to see him making his smile drop.

"Where in Tartarus have you been?!" Twilight asked Stream, keeping the stallion down.

"Okay, you must be mad. Listen, I'm sorry for what I said-"

Twilight put a hoof against his mouth. "You can apologize later, now come with me." Twilight then grabbed his arm and began dragging him.

The stallion was just let go, left dumbfounded.

Twilight dragged Stream into the Detective's office and sat him down. "Now, shut up for once and listen."

Stream looked at Twilight. "What's your problem?" He asked.

"Well I am not happy about the way you left Fluttershy crying last night, so don't blame me for being in a bad mood."

Stream sighed. "Why am I here?" He asked.

The Detective turned on his chair. "I have news that might put you in a better mood."

Stream nodded.

"First up." He used his magic to lift up a notepad and sent it over to Stream.

Stream looked at it. "These are my calculations, what's wrong with these?" He asked.

The Detective flipped the pages to the part where the erase marks were. "That's what."

Stream then read through it. "Wait a minute... I know this handwriting... It's-" Stream stopped. "No. It can't be..." Stream set the notepad down and looked up at the Detective. "What else is there?"

The Detective lifted the Medical Reports and sent it over to Stream. "There's this?"

Stream saw it and his heart sank, he knocked it out of his vision. "Don't show me that."

The Detective smiled. "Well good, cause it's forged."

Stream looked up. "W-what?" He asked, a bit dumbfounded.

"Your Medical Reports are forged, do you know anyone that could have access to these reports?" The Detective asked.

Stream looked down. 'There is a few ponies I know, but... one of them cant be... They just can't.' Stream thought then it hit him, he smiled brightly. 'I'm not sterile!' He shouted in his head as he began to chuckle.

The Detective smiled. "I'm glad you know the truth, but I still need an answer."

Stream's smile dropped and he shrugged.

"Here, let me see if this will jog your memory." The Detective lifted up the coal. "This was used to make the train fall off the tracks, the culprit used magic and the culprit was smart about it. I couldn't figure out a name but I did get a color."

Stream closed his eyes. "Light blue..." He guessed.

The Detective smiled. "This culprit messed with your calculations, messed with your Medical Reports, and almost killed you. The culprit is a unicorn, is very intelligent, and the color of it's magic is Light Blue." The Detective sat back in his chair. "Who is it Stream? You know who it is, I can see it on you. I couldn't get anything out of Rarity but I can get something out of you."

Stream sighed. 'The Doctor has a brother, and he works with me, his magic is Light Blue, he was the one that helped me fix the machine, he was the one who got me fired.' Stream began to piece it together, then he stood up and walked towards the door.

"Wait, who is it?" Twilight asked.

Stream closed his eyes, as much as he didn't want to say his name he simply turned halfway through the door. "Somepony you'd least expect." He said as he closed the door behind him.

Stream knocked on the door and waited.

The door opened and sat the culprit. "Hey Stream, back so soon?" Chrome asked.

"Chrome... I need to talk to you." Stream walked inside and sat down on the couch.

"What is it?" Chrome closed the door.

Stream closed his eyes. "Why are you trying to ruin my life?" He asked.

Chrome sat there with a dumbfounded face. "Wha-"

"Don't play dumb!" Stream snapped slightly. "You were the one who messed with my calculations, you're the one who messed with my Medical Reports, you're the one who caused the train to crash."

Chrome started to sweat. "Stream, I have no idea what you-"

"ADMIT IT!" Stream shouted.

Chrome snapped. "FINE, I DID! I TRIED KILLING YOU!"

Stream stood up. "Why?" He asked.

Chrome sighed. "Because you took the one I love..." Chrome mumbled.

Stream raised an eyebrow. "Who? Heart?"

Chrome nodded with a slight growl as he looked down, his eyes closed.

"Didn't we make a deal not to fight over a girl?" Stream asked.

Chrome flinched slightly.

"But there is two things that leaves me confused." Stream started. "If I'm not sterile then how come me and Heart could have fo-" Stream stopped with words seeing Chrome flinch again, Stream's face saddened. "You messed with Hearts too... Didn't you?" Stream asked.

Chrome shook his head, looking up. "I just couldn't see her sad anymore, it was already hard enough that she always ran to you, and if she heard she was infertile... I couldn't bare know how she would have felt." Chrome sat down, looking down again.

"Second thing... I was right in your room, you had your chance." Stream said pointing at the door.

Chrome sighed, looking up. "You were crying in your sleep."

Stream widened his eyes. "So you were..." He stopped, finding the words but Chrome answered for him.

"Yes, I was... But I couldn't bring myself to do it while I saw the pain I caused you, after you guys divorced I knew she was just going to run back to you again so... I had to find a way to rid of you." Chrome shook his head. "Now I see I've been stupid."

Stream put a hoof on his shoulder. "Listen... here's a little secret, as Heart began to leave she whispered something in my ear then left."

Chrome looked up. "What was it?"

"She said it was nice to see me again, then after that she told me that she was going to be at Sugar Cube Corner today, I'm standing her up and I want you to be there to support her." Stream smiled. (Just wanted to add something to it that I didn't put in the original chapter, sorry for not putting it there in the first place.)

Chrome smiled, then it faded. "Wait... After all I've done to you... why are you being nice to me? I don't deserve it." He said.

Stream grinned. "Everypony deserves a second chance." He said, remembering what Fluttershy had taught him over the last few weeks.

"Thank you... I'm sorry." Chrome smiled again and stood up.

"You're fine." Stream said, he gestured his head towards the door. "Now come on, we got a mare to talk to."

Chrome grinned from the 'we' "So... You've moved on?" He asked.

Stream shrugged opening the door. "I guess."

Stream opened the door to Fluttershy's cottage and began to walk inside, getting the death glares from her animals as he walked through the room.

Stream gulped after seeing the bear look at him that way, just making him a little more uncomfortable as he made his way toward the sound of crying, he really had upset her

He slowly opened the door to her room and saw her on the bed.

Fluttershy laid on her chest, with her hooves covering her face while she cried into them, her hair a mess that scattered against the pillow next to her.

Stream's heart sank as he saw the animals around her move to reveal her state. "Oh no..." He mumbled a little before trotting slightly to her. "Fluttershy, I'm so sorry I hurt your feelings like this, I'm an idiot."

Fluttershy slightly looked up at Stream, showing her red eyes, she had been crying for so long that her throat hurt when she talked. "S-Str..eam?" She stuttered.

"Fluttershy... I had no right to snap like that, I just completely thought you were just going to laugh at me like most did, I didn't think you'd take it this hard... Fluttershy... I'm so sorry..." Stream began to tear as well, Fluttershy stared up at him with awe as he continued. "You took care of me when I was at my worst and I never got to truly thank you for that... Fluttershy..." Stream shivered slightly, Fluttershy placed a hoof on his cheek. "I lov-"

Fluttershy pulled him into a kiss, wrapping her hooves around him and pulling him close as both their wings opened wide, shaking slightly.

Stream pushed into the kiss, wrapping his hooves around her as well, feeling ultimate bliss as they locked together without realizing that the animals were still watching.

Fluttershy pulled away from the kiss and looked up at him. "I love you too..." She whispered. She looked over and saw her animals with smiles on their faces as they started clapping, making her blush. "Oh... forgot they were there." She giggled.

Stream smiled. "Can you tell them to give us a little... privacy?" He asked slyly, causing Fluttershy to blush as she told the animals politely to leave and they happily obliged.

Stream went to kiss her again but she stopped him. "Aren't you still mad about... you're... problem?" She asked.

Stream then smiled. "Long story short, I'm not sterile, the Reports were forged."

Fluttershy smiled slightly. "Oh... So... What now?" She asked.

Stream shrugged. "We could cuddle or if you... want to continue?" He winked.

Fluttershy blushed and smiled. "Maybe later, I don't think I'm ready for that yet." She said.

Stream nodded. "I understand, cuddling it is!" He cheered as he jumped in bed with her, nuzzling her neck, causing her to giggle. "Let's nap." Stream whispered, a little tired.

Fluttershy smiled as she pushed into his cuddle with a slight blush. "Okay..." She muttered and sighed as she closed her eyes with a blush that stayed on her face until they had woken up the next morning.

Stream smiled as he looked at himself through a mirror, straightening his tie. He then began to recall how he got here.

*Flashback*

Stream sighed, holding the box that contained the ring he was going to use to propose. He closed his eyes as he waited, picking up many scenarios that would happen if he asked. He was outside the door to City Hall, leaning against the one of the poles.

"Stream?" A light voice spoke, Stream recognized the voice and hid the ring under his wing.

Stream opened his eyes to look at a very confused Fluttershy. "What is it you wanted to speak to me about?" She asked.

Stream smiled, taking a deep breath. "Come." He held out a hoof, Fluttershy blushed and took it.

Stream led her to the doors of City Hall and opened it, letting Fluttershy go first as he held the door open.

Fluttershy entered and saw a group of ponies including her friends and animals that were waiting, Fluttershy turned to Stream with a smile. "What's going on?" She asked.

Stream led her up a few stairs so everypony could see what he was about to do. "Stream I'm so confused..." Fluttershy said again.

Stream loved that about her, being completely oblivious. "Fluttershy..." He started. "You know I love you, the first time I met you, you took care of me while I was at my worst." He closed his eyes looking down. "I never really gave you the appreciation you deserve, but I know a way to make it up to you..." He opened his eyes and stared into Fluttershy's eyes, seeing her blush from the corner of his eye. "And I'm going to spend the rest of my life making it up to you." Stream opened his wing slightly and pulled out a box. "Fluttershy..." Stream opened the box to reveal a ring with a decorated pink butterfly on it. "Will you marry me?"

Fluttershy's eyes widened through his speech and when she saw the ring her heart sank in joy. "Yes... Yes, I'll marry you." She pulled him into a tight hug as the crowd cheered.

"Stream." A voice snapped Stream back to reality.

"Yes?" He asked calmly, looking over to see Twilight.

"It's starting." She smiled.

"Okay, I'll be there in a second."

Stream looked around the room he was in, Fluttershy and Stream decided to get married at the cottage since it was closer to Fluttershy's home and made her more comfortable. Stream looked at the bed he once was nursed in and sighed. "It's now or never." He stood up and left the room.

He passed by a room that was guarded by the bridesmaids so the groom wouldn't see the bride, Applejack and Pinkie watched him pass by and waved.

Stream smiled, exiting to the cottage to the white display of chairs and decorations with the chuppah covered in white roses with the birds on top.

He looked towards the groomsmen, Angel wearing a white tux that was hard to recognize and Stream chuckled seeing the bear in a top hat. "Now I've seen everything..." Stream mumbled, walking over to the best man. "Chrome, you made it." Stream pulled Chrome into a hug.

"Man, I wouldn't miss it for world." Chrome patted him on the shoulder. "Besides, you're still going to my wedding right?" He asked.

"There better be cake." Stream joked and they both laughed.

Fluttershy on the other hand looked at herself through the mirror with her body quivering.

"You look beautiful darling." Rarity smiled, while putting one last thing in her hair to keep it together.

Fluttershy continued to stare at the mirror. "I can't believe I'm getting married..."

"Well believe it, just one last thing..." Rarity levitated a pink flower and setting it into Fluttershy's hair.

Fluttershy's heart sank as she saw the flower, the dress glittering made it match. "I love it..." She smiled, blushing slightly.

Twilight entered and smiled seeing Fluttershy in the dress. "Well I know a certain somepony that's going to love that dress."

Fluttershy turned slowly as some of the birds lifted up the back of her dress so she would trip on it, Fluttershy smiled brightly. "I'm so nervous..." She blushed.

"Well, get ready, the wedding is starting soon." Twilight smiled. "As maid of honor I shall get everything else set up, see you at the ceremony." Twilight said as she began to leave.

"Thank you Twilight." Fluttershy said as she turned back to the mirror.

Pinkie came back in and gasped. "Oh my gosh! Fluttershy you look amazing!" She jumped to her side. "That flower really makes it POP!" Pinkie jumped in the air spreading her arms.

Fluttershy blushed. "Thank you Pinkie."

"Well we should start getting ready for the ceremony." Rarity mentioned.

Fluttershy nodded. "I'm ready."

Stream looked over at the bridesmaids as they both got in line as they do in ever wedding, Stream turned away from the walk way while Fluttershy got to the beginning of it.

The music began to play as she began walking, she looked around. On her right were Streams family and friends that had come over not to long ago, she then looked over to her left to see her friends and her animals, bringing a bigger smile to her face. She looked in front of her to see Luna with a smile on her face, Luna had the time to get them married and when she heard it was Fluttershy she pushed some plans back just to help her.

Fluttershy got halfway through when Stream turned, his eyes widened at the sight of her, she noticed this and blushed slightly as she stopped in front of him.

Stream smiled and mouthed the words 'You look amazing.' making her blush more.

Stream and Fluttershy turned to Luna to start. "Stream." Luna started, turning her head to Fluttershy. "Fluttershy." She winked. "It is time we brought two souls together, and from how I met you both I can honestly say that you two are destined. You both dream about each other, think about each other, and love each other." Luna gave a heart warming smile as she turned to Stream. "Stream Star, will you take Fluttershy to be your wife?"

Stream smiled. "I do."

"And Fluttershy, do you take Stream Star to be your husband?" Luna asked.

"I do." Fluttershy blushed.

"Then, I now pronounce you Stallion and Mare." Luna smiled. "You may kiss the bride."

Stream and Fluttershy both leaned forward and touched lips, locking together as they started something new.

As they pulled away, they realized the cheers and applause as they turned with a smile on their face and began waving. "Well, shall we?" Stream held out his hoof towards Fluttershy.

Fluttershy smiled and blushed, taking his hoof. "We shall."

As they both began trotting down the aisle their friends and family threw confetti over them, Fluttershy and Stream chuckled as they got to the end. Then they headed over to reception where they had their first dance, their first dinner, and their first dessert.

It was also the night where Stream sang, finally knowing the reason of his Cutie Mark. Fluttershy and Stream planned their honeymoon to be in Cloudsdale, where they both were raised.

After that, they headed back to the cottage where they shared the night together as husband and wife.
