David Price

"All that land for him?" Silverstar asked, looking at David. Thunderhooves nodded. "This buffoon intruded our sacred mating grounds. The fool's lucky he's even alive." He explained.  "I think you'll find that a few acres of land is a fair offer considering his circumstances." Thunderhooves added. David had been tied up and left between the two of them. Strongheart eyed both Sheriff Silverstar and Thunderhooves frantically to see that none of them made any sudden movements. "Well, you see, Chief, all that land ain't exactly mine to give." Silverstar replied as he looked back at Thunderhooves. "It's the whole town's land." Thunderhooves stomped in rage. "Well, if the land isn't in our possession by high noon, this pony here shall be returned in pieces." He shouted. "Pick him up, Little Strongheart. We'll leave them to decide."

When David was alone with Strongheart, she began to untie him. "Don't worry, David. We'll be far away from him soon enough." Once David was free from his binds, he stood up and surveyed the area. "So, what's the quickest way to Ponyville? I'd rather not stay here any longer." He said to her. "The fastest way to get there would be the train." Strongheart answered. "It'll be here in a few minutes, so we're going to have to hurry up." David stretched his limbs, trying to get his blood circulating properly again. "Well, let's go." He said with a sigh. "Which way?"

The two broke into a full gallop, hoping to reach the train station in time. Although Strongheart had been confident that they would make it in time, the shouts of the conductor echoed through the streets. "Last call for those boarding the train!" He shouted as the bell rang. "We're almost there!" Little Strongheart told David as they neared the station. "We'll be out of here in no time!" As soon as they arrived at the train station, they heard Chief Thunderhooves' fury boom throughout the town.

"THEY'RE GONE!" He screamed. "FIND THE PONY AND LITTLE STRONGHEART AS WELL!" The train began to move on the rails, preparing to leave. "Hurry!" Little Strongheart exclaimed. "We need to get out before he finds us!" The train was now accelerating at a rate they would soon be unable to keep up with. "Fuck it." David said as he ran to the train. "Let's just jump onto the back!" He looked at the last cart. I should be able to make it. How hard could it be? Jumping onto the cart was surprisingly harder than he had initially thought. David barely made it, almost falling off when he jumped. Unlike David, Little Strongheart nailed the jump with no trouble. "Thank God we made it. Now we can just sit back until we reach our destina-"

Before David could finish, the train nearly shook off the rails. David looked to the side of the train. "Shit..." He muttered. Chief Thunderhooves had been trying to run the cart off the rails. "The hell do you think you're doing?!" David shouted at him. "You're going to get all of these passengers hurt!" Despite David's plea, Thunderhooves continued to ram into the cart. "Stop!" Strongheart plead, leaning out towards Thunderhooves. "You can't do that!"

Thunderhooves' third bash knocked Little Strongheart off of the train. She tumbled in the dust, scrapes forming on her body. Chief Thunderhooves ran back to pick her up. Fuck! Dsvid thought to himself. He couldn't just leave her there to face punishment from Chief Thunderhooves, but if he got off to help, he'd most likely be executed by Thunderhooves himself. "I'm sorry..." He muttered as he watched Thunderhooves carry her back to town. Chief wouldn't dare hurt her, right? He thought as the town faded out of sight.

After almost a day's worth of waiting, the train finally stopped. "Ponyville at last!" He exclaimed as he got off the train. Riding as a stowaway was an experience David hoped he'd never have to go through again. "Now, if I was one of the Crew members, where would I go in Ponyville?" He said to himself. "No shit. Rarity's place, right?"
