Previous ChapterNext Chapter

"I don't think that we have any clothes for your spices, but I wouldn't mind looking around." Shadow Dusk states walking with you out of the wall and onto the other side. Reaching the other side Shadow Dusk puts a smile upon his face and gestures a hoof to the little village outside the wall. "This is the little town of Maresaw!" He states with a happy tone that you think he should never do again. His figure just doesn't fit it.

You think about the name for a while before you realize that it's a horse pun for Warsaw. However Warsaw from what you can remember is a huge city. This is just a small little town. Shrugging it off as a coincidence you nod and follow the stallion towards the town. "I don't understand why you need to be clothed. Us ponies rarely ware clothes." The stallion states arriving at an old looking house.

"My species the 'humans', don't like to walk around naked." You lecture as he opens the door with his mouth and steps inside. You follow in suit but you have to duck in order to enter the building. The inside however of the house has a taller ceiling so you can comfortably stand up straight.

Shadow Dusk stops once he's inside and looks at you with a questionable look. You know if this were earth things would be much different. Not to mention it's a social taboo to be completely butt naked in someone's house. "What an odd tradition." The stallion states as he walks up stairs.

Sitting down on a nearby stool you look around the house. It looks comfortable and well decorated, however the painting could use some work as you can see scratches and tears in it.

It doesn't take long before the stallion remerges from upstairs with clothes folded neatly on his back. "You're a lucky guy. My tailor messed up one of my orders. The suit is way too big for me, but I think it will fit you just fine "

Smiling you take the pants from his hoof along with the two tops. "Since ponies only dress up on special occasions this is all I have." He states as you look down at what type of clothes they are. Surprisingly the pair of clothes look identical to a tux back on earth. Looks like I will be looking fancy for now. You state to yourself.

"Thanks!" You state looking over the ensemble and since you're already naked you put on the clothes right then and there. To your liking the clothes seem to fit, although the under shirt was kind of tight. Tying up the tie to make the suit complete you look towards the stallion. "Does it look good?" You state with a smile.

"Well you look better then you did a couple minutes ago." He states grabbing a seat of his own.

However there was one thing wrong and that was that you had no shoes. When you look at yourself you can't help but chuckle. You look all swanky and snazzy up until you reach your feet. "I can't thank you enough for this." You state taking your eyes off your feet and onto Shadow Dusk.

"It's no problem really, they were just going to go in the trash anyways." You're not sure if that was an insult or just an excuse, nevertheless you're grateful. "So while you're here what did you do to get sent to Tartarus?" He asks.

Thinking about his question thoroughly you brainstorm reasons why you would be sent there after death. "Well I guess it's because I was a soldier that killed people. Other then that I can't think of any other reason." You state the truth. "I was sent there because I died, well at least I think I died." You claim.

"What do you mean you think you died?" Shadow Dusk asks with confusion present in his voice.

"When I woke up in Tartarus I couldn't remember what happened in the recent past." You say as you once again try and remember but to no avail. It's starting to annoy you now but there is nothing you can do about it.

Shadow Dusk looks at you with a sympathetic expression. "Wow that must suck." He states getting of his stool and walking over to a refrigerator. You don't even question how the refrigerator runs with no electricity. You have seen so much shit that nothing now really surprises you.

Opening the door he reaches in and grabs a cup of cider and from what it looks like it's apple cider. As you look at the two mugs he takes out, you get a feeling like you should be remembering something. Passing it off as nothing you take the mug that Shadow offers you.

"So do you remember nothing or are there some stuff that you remember a bit." Shadow asks seeming to know exactly how you feel right now. Taking a large swig of the apple cider you realize that it has a bit of alcohol in it. Not a lot but it still states its presence.

Placing the mug down you look over to Shadow. "Well there is one thing that I know, I know, but I can't seem to remember." You claim taking another swig of the golden liquid. You will admit that this apple cider is amazing, it's like nothing you ever tasted before.

"And what may that be?" Shadow asks taking a swig from his own mug. "Who knows maybe I can help you with it."

Finishing off the last bit of cider you place the empty mug down. "For some reason I remember the name Rainbow Dash. Do you know who he/she is or where he/she may live?" You ask getting a glance from Shadow.

"Yeah I actually do. She's quite famous here in Equestria. She's one of the elements of harmony." Shadow states finishing up his mug as well and slams it onto the table with more force then he thought.

"That's Awesome!" You state ignoring the part about the elements of harmony, because it sounds rather made up. "So you know where I can find her? I'm hoping that she might be able to help jog my memory." You state with enthusiasm.

Shadow smiles at your mood change. "Well last I heard she lives in Ponyville with the rest of the elements of harmony." He claims. "That's a far way's away though, about seven hundred kilometers." He states brining your mood back down. You really don't want to walk seven hundred kilometers, that would take forever.

"Is there a fast way of getting there?" You ask in hopes that there might be a train or something.

Cleaning up the two mugs Shadow answers your question. "Well there's three ways of getting there. One is of course walking, second is hiring a unicorn to teleport you, or lastly taking the train to Detrot City then catch a boat to Vanhoover then hop on another train to Canterlot then to Ponyville."

Your mood drops further when you realize that two of the three options requires you to have money. Something that you do not have at this particular moment. Sighing you place your head down on Shadows table with a large *thunk*. "At moments like these I wish I had money."

Shadow lets out a hearty laugh as you regain the strength to lift your head up again. "Don't we all." He states placing the two mugs back in their respected places. "By the way I didn't catch your name?"

"My names Anonymous, but you can call me Anon." You state getting up off your stool. Well better find out if I can sneak onto that train. You state to yourself remembering that you were pretty good at it back on Earth. Not to mention this time you have an actual reason.

"Nice to meet you." Shadow states with a warm voice that once again does not suit him very well.

Taking a stretch you can hear multiple pops and cracks granting you a smile upon your face. I don't think I will ever forget how that feeling feels like. You state to yourself as you prepare to ask Shadow two more question before you leave. "You know what time the train leaves for Detrot?" You ask having trouble saying Detrot but you think he gets the point.

"It usually leaves around eight." The stallion states taking a seat on the stool again.

"What time is it now?" You ask making your way to the Shadows door.

"Its seven forty-five." Shadow claims. "November, 15th if you want to know the date." Shadow lectures once again bringing back the feeling like you are missing something. Pushing it off your shoulder once again you open up the door.

"Thanks Shadow I really appreciate the help. I will repay you when I get my memory sorted out." You say as you leave the house.

However when the door is about to close you can hear him yell back. "No problem! You don't have to repay me! And may our paths cross again!" Smiling that you're going to repay him either he likes it or not you make your way to the train station you saw walking into town.

Arriving in no time at all at the train station you look around the place. The ponies standing for the train take glances at you when you're not looking but you notice one or two that fail to hide it. Other then that the place looks like a rather normal train station.

It has platforms on either side so you can board on both sides. You also take note of the clock that lay above some benches. The time on the clock reads 07:55, so it took you a good ten minutes to get here from Shadows.

Thinking back you realize how accepting he was for a new spices. He didn't seem fazed at all that you were nearly twice his size. It just amazes you that he went out of his way to help you out. Hell he even clothed you for crying out loud.

Smiling at how lucky you are you take sight on the train. It's whistle blows right before it starts to slow down, causing the ponies on the benches sit up. The whole scene looks hilarious, ponies acting like people. One of the ponies even has a tie and suitcase.

Taking your attention off of the train you grimace as you take sight upon the conductor that is now checking every ponies tickets. With a fool proof plan in mind you casually walk off the train platform and follow the train tracks leading north.

Stopping a good distance away up track, you turn back to look at the train. You can't help but let out a little chuckle at the color and design of it. The train was colored a bright light pink, with little hearts decorating the cart walls. If you didn't know any better it looked like the train belonged in a vacuum pact container in the kids toy section at Wal-Mart.

Reaching the spot at 08:00 the train whistle blows, allowing the ponies around it know that it's leaving for its destination. You watch as the train slowly makes its way out of the train station and towards you. With the speed increasing slowly you should be able to jump onto it at the last second.

Watching the train intently you plan out every move precisely. One wrong move and back to Tartarus you go. As the thought of returning to Tartarus lingers throughout your mind you take a large gulp and get into a jumping position.

The train nears, its speed is increasing exponentially and you start to have second thoughts about the jump. Before you can talk yourself out of it the train passes you with great speed. Thinking fast you run alongside the train franticly looking around for any sort of ladder or protruding object to grab onto.

When not one comes into view you look behind to see that the train is almost over. Pushing yourself to the limits you sprint as fast as you can increasing the time your by the train. However it's not enough to keep up and the trains last cart comes into view.

As the last train car is passing you, you notice that at the back of the train there's a little outside section. With the trains speed still increasing you find yourself moments away from the jump. Taking in another deep breath you jump at the last second and time seems to slow down.

You watch as you slowly soar through the air towards the end of the train. The gravel beneath you wiping by as you reach out your hand towards the railing. For a moment you think that time has stopped completely but nevertheless you still move towards the end of the train.

In a split second time resumes to its normal rate and you receive a jolt of pain throughout your right arm as you grab onto the cold metal railing. Smiling at your success you grab onto the railing with your other hand and pull yourself up panting form exhaustion.

Once on the other side of the railing you fall to the floor and lay there for a good while catching your breath and letting the pain in your right arm subside. The pain lasts for a good ten minutes and even after that you don't bother getting up as you are dead beat tired.

It takes you a good half an hour before you feel like you can get up again. PT back on earth has nothing on this. Finally you get the energy to lug your limp body up off the cedar floor and enter the train. Much to your surprise the train cart that you step into is completely empty.

Scratching the back of your head in confusion you look around the cart to find that its very well decorated. It even has a bed and dresser. This must be the VIP cart. You state to yourself as you walk through the cart and into the second one.

Much like the first cart you entered, this cart is just as luxurious. Paintings adorn the walls as well as some mirrors. As you glance around the seemingly identical room before you realize one keen difference. Unlike the first cart this one actually had a pony in it.

"EEEP!" The diamond blue pony squeals at the sight of you, her face frozen with fear. Just as lost for words as she is, you both stare at each other in complete silence. After a couple of minutes you're able to recompose yourself and break the think silence that has befallen both of you.

"Don't worry I won't harm you." Is the first words out of your mouth. "I'm just hitching a ride to Detrot." You state with a steady voice. The diamond coated mare looks at you for a short moment before she speaks up.

"Well we all are 'hitching' a ride to Detrot." To blue mare states with a regal tone. You roll your eyes at the pony as you realize she missed the point you're trying to get across.

"Well yes, but what I was trying... you know what never mind." You say changing your mind on telling this pony that you got on for free. Who knows maybe she's the tattling type. You think mentally as you continue on with this conversation "I'm Anonymous, you are?"

The mare rolls your name in her head for a moment before replying to your question. "I'm Diamond Heart." Diamond claims her regal tone never dissipating. Her parents couldn't of picked a better name, it suites her perfectly. You state to yourself looking at her mane. It was so well maintained that it looked like a river of liquid silver.

"Are you somepony important?" You ask gesturing to the cart that you both are in. "This cart looks like it's for royalty."

Diamond looks around the room, her frightened expression melting into happiness. "No, but it's nice to know that ponies think of me like that." You wince when Diamond uses the word pony. "Sorry... I mean people." She states apologetically.

"So how did you end up in this cart? Are all carts like this on this train?" You ask wondering how well Equestrian's economy is if all ponies are subjected to this amount of hospitality while traveling. Back on earth you would of called this first class and first class means expensive.

"No." Diamond states. "I'm just on a long journey to Canterlot. My sister is supposed to meet me at the train station there and show me around." The mare states with excitement in her eyes. "I have never been to Canterlot before so I have high hopes!"

"Small world I'm on my way there too, however I plan to continue towards Ponyville." You state truthfully. "I wouldn't suppose you know the mare that goes by the name Rainbow Dash would you?" You ask hoping to get as much information before meeting her. For all you know she could of been you're arch enemy and that's why you remember her.

"Of course! She's one of the element bearers!" Diamond replies. "Where have you been living? Under a rock?" She states surprised that you even asked that question.

"Well Tartarus, but technically your right seeing as I was beneath the earth." You comment taking a seat on a nearby chair. Glancing back at Diamond you realize what you had just said, the mares eyes are now as wide as dinner plates.

"What did you do to get sent to Tartarus!" The mare exclaims backing slowly away from you in fear that you might harm her.

"As I said before don't worry. I will explain just relax." You say staying seated. You're slightly surprised that the mare didn't act like this when you first arrived. You know being a new species in all, not to mention your twice her size. If something came up to you on the train twice your size, you would be bolting it out of the cart.

Diamond seems to loosen up at your words but she gets no closer. Understanding her reasoning you continue to tell your little tale. Since the story was not that long -as you don't remember yourself how you were sent to Tartarus- it only lasts a couple of minutes. However at the end you think your tale did its job as the mare fully relaxes and once again approaches you.

The mare gets a sympathetic look upon her face. "That's horrible, not just the pain you went through but the memories you lost." Diamond states in a comforting tone. You're still surprised at how well this mare is dealing with this situation, now that you think of it, all the ponies you met are surprisingly understanding.

"So how did you get on the train?" Diamond asks, as you left out the part of you sneaking your way onto the train. You shuffle uncomfortable in your chair as you don't know if you can tell this mare. She might still tell on you, then again she might understand why you did it.

Letting out a deep breath you decide to tell Diamond. "I snuck on..." You state telling the mare exactly how you were able to get on the train undetected. "And so here I am talking to you." You state ending your explanation.

Diamond nods giving you a warm smile. "That explains why you entered through the back." The mare comments. "Don't worry, if you stay with me the whole way I will make sure that you make it to Canterlot unnoticed."

Smiling at the mares willingness to help you, you lean back in your chair. "Thanks that means a lot to me." You state to Diamond who jumps upon her bed and lays down facing you. Her fuchsia colored eyes fixated on you.

"So tell me Anonymous, what was your life like on 'earth'?" Diamond asks.

"It's kind of a long story." You state not really wanting to replay the past, as thinking about some parts hurt. Telling the story will just open old wounds and remind you that you're no longer on earth.

"Well this train ride is four hours long." Diamond states rolling onto her back looking at you upside down. You will admit it looked funny but at the same time it was adorable. "It's either that or sleep."

"Sleep sounds very tempting." You state remembering that the only time you rested was at the back of the train and that was only for thirty minutes. Diamond lets out a rather adorable 'hmpf' and adorns a frown.

"Please Anonymous. It's not every day that a pony gets to speak with a human." The mare begs still upside down on her bed, so it's hard to take her seriously.

Rolling your eyes you sigh. "Fine!" You state with an irritated tone. "You can call my Anon by the way, all my friends do." You comment makes the mare turn up back up right with a smile. "What do you want to hear first?"

The mare tosses the thought around her head for a bit before speaking up. "Tell me your most exciting moment back on 'earth'." Diamond states sitting up on her hunches, giving you her full undivided attention.

hmm that is a good question in disguise. What was my most exciting moment back on earth?... You think about what the mare said and toss ideas and moments around in your head. You can't help but let out a little smile as some of the good memories fill your mind.

"Ok I got it." You say, sitting up from the chair. "The night was stormy and gloomy..." You start off your story, mentally reliving the moment. Diamond stays seated her eyes and ears pointed right at you as you continue the tale.


"GET THE PLANES PREPED! WE DON'T HAVE ALL DAY!!" Ryan yelled over the sound of the crashing waves that bombarded the carriers sides and the sirens that told of the oncoming enemy attack.

"WHY THE HELL DID THE CAPTAIN THINK THIS WAY WOULD BE A BETTER!" You yell back at Ryan who is now holding the hood of his rain jacket so it won't fly off. The wind was so harsh that everyone on the deck was being pushed around like leaves.

"HOW SHOULD I KNOW! NOW EITHER YOU GET INTO YOUR JET OR WE WILL FIND SOMEONE THAT WILL!" Ryan yells back pushing you to walk back across the tarmac and towards your jet.


Diamond buds into your story with a question. "What's a carrier?" She asks still not done with her questions. "Also what's a jet?"

Sighing you realize that this story is going to take much longer to tell. "A jet is a machine that enables us humans to fly. The one that I was getting into was specifically meant for aerial combat. A carrier is a type of ship that carries these jets out to sea, as our jets need fuel to run." You lecture. Diamond nods in understanding and you continue your story.


Arriving at the jet that is already loaded and rolled onto the tarmac you climb up the ladder and open up the canopy. The only noises you hear is the rain pelting your helmet and the wind whistling its way passed.

The canopy finally opens all the way up and you waste no time hopping in. The feeling of adrenalin kicking in as the thought of glorious air combat lingers throughout your buzzing mind. The two people that will be your wingmen today are Chase Dennis and Maxwell Proctor.

Chase was a 32 year old male that acted like he was in his twenties. He hated to be alone and so it was common to see him wondering the carrier corridors in search for someone to chill with. 35 year old Maxwell the other pilot was the leader of this operation. His experience and determination was the reason he was picked to lead not only that but he had a adherent desire to put others needs in front of his own making him an excellent choice.

Then theirs you twenty-two year old Anon. With this being your first combat mission the others were sceptical flying with you. Who could really blame them, if anything you would slow down the team. Nevertheless the captain decided that it was time for you to experience combat.


Once again Diamond interrupts your story. "I like the sound of this Maxwell guy. Seems like a real hunk." Diamond states getting all dreamy eyed. "I wouldn't mind hearing more about him."

"Hay who's this story about." You state crossing your arms contemplating whether or not to continue telling the story to this mare. I started so might as well finish it. You say to yourself with a sigh. Diamond apologises and you continue the story.


As the F-18's glass canopy closes you take note of the basic's. "electronics check, flaps check, ailerons check, horizontal stabilizers check, vertical stabilizers check, and lastly throttle, check." You state to yourself out loud making sure you got everything working.

With all the planes now prepped for takeoff, you watch as Maxwell and Chase roll their planes towards the catapults. Their planes not budging against the wind that bombards them. Following behind them you notice the armaments upon their wings.

Just like briefing all three planes including yours adorn four AIM-9x sidewinders, four AIM-120c AMRAAMs and lastly three external fuel tanks. The normal load-out for aerial combat over the pacific, for you do not know how long you will be fighting for.

By the time you're done looking over the armaments, the two planes are locked into place and unfolding their wings. Following them in suit you unfold your wings and await for them to take off. Once the wings are lowered the tarmac behind them lifts up and the line that is the catapults starts to smoke white signalling that they're ready.

It takes no time at all before the two planes increase their throttle and engage afterburners. The sound of their four engines cover over the sound of the sirens and rain. With a quick salute Maxwell's plane is launched from the carrier at speeds of 200km/h.

Right after Maxwell was launched the tarmac lowers and you move into position. All the while Chase lets out a salute and is launched, trailing behind Maxwell. Eagar to join them in the mission you lower your launch bar and it hooks into the catapult.

You have launched from a carrier before, but now that it's into combat it brings a whole new feeling. Patiently you listen to the sound of the rain patting against the glass canopy, a relaxing sensation that is interrupted by the sound of the tarmac rising behind you.

Looking ahead you can see Maxwell and Chase bank right to circle around. Their planes ignoring the harsh winds that they are subjected to, however your gaze is stolen from the white smoke that now emanates from the catapult.

As a grin carves its way onto your face  you throttle all the way up and engage afterburners. The F-18 that you sit in roar to life as the twin General Electric F404-GE-402 turbofans produce eleven thousand pounds of horizontal thrust each. With the afterburners on it increases the thrust to almost eight-teen thousand.

The grin soon becomes a full smile as you make a salute to the ground crew. Within seconds the catapult is released and you're forced to endure the three g's it produces. If you would of blinked you would of missed leaving the carrier as you're now fly above the water.

Pulling up the landing gear you ascend till you're at the altitude you're briefed on. As expected Maxwell and Chase are to your left. All three of you fly in an echelon formation with Maxwell in the lead. Following the briefing you need little conversation to continue on.


"Ohh, not only a hunk but a leader." Diamond interrupts getting you to facepalm. However at least this time she has some question's that you find reasonable. "So they launched you from a catapult!? I thought those were only used during nightmare night to launch pumpkins."

Chuckling at the thought of an F-18 being launched from old fashion catapult you speak up. "No, not that type of catapult. This was just a wire that was attached to the plane so it can help it accelerate." You lecture once again. With Diamonds nod of approval you continue.


"Looks like the altitude they set for us is in the clouds." Maxwell states with a annoyed tone. "I hate flying in the clouds. Not only do they force you to fly using the interments, they also rob you with the sight of your kill once you get one."

"I'm sure you'll still see the bright light from the explosion." Chase states over the radio. "But I can see how it would be disappointing, all that work."

Ascending in formation you, Maxwell and Chase reach the cloud layer. Patiently you wait looking out of the cockpit that is now streaked with water from the clouds. There was not much to see with the clouds in all so you look back down towards your interments.

"Enemy's on radar." Maxwell states. Sure enough when you glance over to the RWR you spot two dotes closing in. "Stay sharp, it looks like they want to play chicken with us." Maxwell points out. The closer the dotes come the more your heart races. The feeling of combat is just what you expected it to feel like. Your mind is set and focused as you switch to missiles.

What you didn't expect was the endless torrent of beeping that came from your plane. The noises stating that you have been locked on. "I'm locked." You state into the com's, your hand fingering the flair button.

"Anon, I want you break off." Maxwell states firmly.

Without any arguments you release the flairs and bank away from the group. The beeping soon  stops and you notice that the two planes that locked onto you change targets and chase after Chase and Maxwell. With a smile at what Maxwell was trying to accomplish you bank left and head back into the fray.

Angling your jet back to the fight you line up behind one of the dots and start to lock on. The jet that you chase attempts to shake you off but his actions bring him no reward. With the lock now set you release the first missile.

Excitedly you watch the missile leave its hard point and trails its victim. As you follow close behind you receive no explosion. Determined to get your first kill you release your second missile, however once again there was no explosion and the dot did not fade from the radar.

Nevertheless being the determined person you are you release the third one. Much to your dismay the missile once again yields no explosion. Infuriated by the jets capability to dodge you switch to cannons and attempted to catch up to him.

Once again the jet seems to elude you, even with afterburners the jet seems to surpass your speed. Switching back to missiles you're caught off guard when you plane once again bursts into a fit of beeping. Looking back towards the radar you notice that during your engagement the second jet has now settled on your six.

"I got one on my six!" You state into the microphone as you bank right and deploy flairs. You always thought that air engagements would be easy. The whole time you grew up the media portrayed the enemy as incompetent and stupid, but now that you're in the real thing you realize that they're just as good as you if not better.

"Roger Anon I'm right behind him." Chase states over the radio. "Just keep him occupied I have a Sidewinder with his name on it." Chase comments, his voice sturdy and serious.

Following Chases orders you keep the jet trailing you, popping flairs here and there. "Can you hurry up Chase! I'm losing flairs!" You yell over the com's. The reality of the situation is now setting in and you start to worry for your own life.

"Calm down, the guy is so into killing you that he forgot what's behind him." Chase states and shortly after you can see a bright light come from behind you. Seconds later a large boom is heard as you look back to see a fireball fall from the sky.

"Nice kill Chase." You comment, a wave of relief washing over you.

"Keep your compliments till after the fight Anon." Maxwell buds into the conversation. "We still got one more guy left." Chase agrees with Maxwell and you see their two dots converge onto the last target.

Joining in with them you near the last target. Converging from all sides of the jet it shoots up and out of the cloud layer. With incredible speed the jet flees the scene. "Don't bother chasing after it." Maxwell states banking his plane back to the carrier. "Their SU-35's can out run our F-18's any day."

Sighing in relief that it's all over you fall into formation. Silence falls over the radio as your squad makes its way back to the carrier. Chase is the first one to break the silence. "So Anon how was your first combat mission?"

"To say the least it scared the shit out of me sir." You state truthfully over the radio. "Sucks that I didn't get a kill on my first run."

"Don't fret, I never got a kill on my first combat mission either." Chase states lighting up your mood. "besides you made it out alive, I would say that's a good start."

"I got a kill on my first mission." Maxwell states gloating.

"You're not making the situation here any better." Chase snaps back at Maxwell, rewarding him with a hearty laugh. "anyway... I assume the rookie lands first?" Chase states getting an approving answer from Maxwell.

Without any other word you line up with the carrier and begin your descent. With the ATC acknowledged of your approach you lower your landing gear, flaps and your tail hook, the jet soon touches down on the ball.

Releasing the wire you raise the tail hook and roll the F-18 over to the elevator. Shutting the engines and electronics off you the folding the wings and watch the rest of your team one by one land on the carrier.


"...and that was my most exciting and exhilarating moment back on earth." You state feeling the effects of reciting a long story. Your body screams for sleep as your mind wants to know what Diamond thought about the story.

Diamond sits there on her hunches for a while before breaking the silence. "Your life is much more exiting then mine." Diamond states truthfully. "What I would give to be able to fly like you did." She says her eyes glancing of into the distance.

"Pretty awesome isn't it?" You claim. "Now I don't know about you but I really need to get some shuteye." You say giving out a yawn. "You wouldn't mind if I crashed out here on the floor would you?" You ask politely.

"I certainly would!" Diamond exclaims out loud. "Why should a person like you sleep on the floor when this bed is big enough for the both of us." The mare states tapping a hoof on the bed.

To tired to argue with the blue mare you get up and collapse onto the bed. Diamond lets out a little chuckle but you pay no attention. "Goodnight." You say out loud.

"I think the proper phrase is good morning." Diamond corrects you, and you soon fall into darkness that is sleep.
