On burning wings

A small voice called to Twilight Sparkle from within her dream. "Come on. It's time to wake up sleepy head." it said with compassion. It honestly sounded like her as a filly. "Oh and don't forget to thank Mr. Fireburst when you wake up." As if those words were a trigger Twilight awoke with a start as the horrible dream came back in force. She breathed heavily until she remembered the ending.

The stallion with the Blue Scarf with eyes that glowed like flames. As she was putting the final touches on remembering what the voice at the end said she sat up and rubbed the sleep from her eyes. "TWILIGHT YOU'RE AWAKE!" Fluttershy shouted loudly which took seven out of the rooms nine occupants by surprise, mainly due to the completely foreign volume level from the normally Timid Pegasus. What followed her simple "Oh... I'm sorry, I was a little too loud huh?" Was a large group hug worthy of a happy ending in storybook.

"Well, I'm glad it worked." Fireburst said sitting up from his prone position and shaking the stiffness from himself. As soon as he accomplished this the long cyan blue scarf appeared on his neck. "Well... That was unexpected. Very cool but, still unexpected." He said with a smile. Which got a laugh out of Melody and even earned a giggle from Twilight Sparkle before she seemed to stop in shock her eyes hanging on the cyan blue scarf.

"There's no way... That was just a dream... Wasn't it?" She thought to herself. The sudden expression change did not go unnoticed. "What's wrong Sugarcube?" Applejack asked while tracing the line of Twilight's vision. "Sumthin' wrong with the feller's fancy fru-fru scarf?" She asked which caused the rest of the group to look at the scarf.

Predictably Rarity soon set upon Fireburst. "Oh Darling you simply must tell me where you got this divine scarf from. I mean it feels like silk but, is sturdy like armor and the color goes so very well with your coat." These words were met with a round of face-hooves and a simple "I really don't know." from Fireburst.

After several minutes of Rarity going on about the scarf, Fireburst was suddenly tackled by a speeding pink blur. "Hi! I'm Pinkie Pie, I was going to introduce myself earlier but, you were busy being a Helpful Mc'Helpington, and your sister who is really nice by the way said I should wait to talk to you later, and now it's later so here we are. Oh I forgot you and your sister are new in town right? I guess that makes sense because I don't know you two, and I know everypony in Ponyville so if I don't know you that means your new. So when did you get here, what's your favorite color, do you like parties, and would you like a chocolate chip or Blueberry muffin for Helping Twilight?" She said as she let him up before ensnaring him in a hug that could make bears jealous.

"Somehow I feel like being able to understand everything she said is some kind of monumental achievement." Fireburst thought with a chuckle before speaking. "Well let's see if I can answer all those questions shall we?" He said with a smile. "Hello I'm Fireburst, Yes me and my sister Melody are new here, We got here this morning, my favorite color is firetruck red, Yes I like parties, and Chocolate chip would be lovely, thank you." He said with a smile which in return got a lot of wide eyed gazes from the ponies and dragon in the room along with a chocolate chip muffin from Pinkie. "What? I'm a good listener." He said with a shrug as he started eating the deliciously fluffy baked good.

"Pardner you just done what I reckon'ed was impossible. Nopony has been able to understand all of what Pinkie Pie says when she meets them, and I mean nopony. Name's Applejack by the way. I run Sweet Apple Acres on the Edge a' town." She said extending a hoof which Fireburst took and the resulting hoofshake sent the pegasus stallion shaking for several seconds.

Melody who had deigned to sit quietly in the corner was soon joined by Fluttershy. "O-Oh hello. I'm sorry am I in your way?" Melody asked to which Fluttershy only shook her head. "Oh no. I just wanted to introduce myself and say thank you is all." She said with a warm smile. "I'm Fluttershy and thank you." This got a nod from Melody and Fireburst as he had managed to catch her name as well.

"Name's Rainbow Dash, fastest Flyer in Equestria and soon to be the next Member of the Wonderbolts!" Rainbow said while striking a pose in mid-air. "I'm guessing the reason you haven't been accepted yet is because your not old enough right?" Fireburst said with a knowing smile. "Y-Yeah that's right! How did you know that? Are you a spy?" She asked him with a glare. "Nope, it's just common knowledge that you have to be an adult to join because they are also considered military." He said with a smile. This got an approving nod from Rainbow Dash along with a lot of glances towards their rambunctious friend from the rest of the room.

Rarity walked up to Fireburst and Melody and did a light bow. "A pleasure to meet you both darlings. I'm Rarity. I own the Carousel Boutique down the road and darlings I must say your appearances compliment each other nicely. Where are you from? Oh and pardon me for asking but, do all the ponies there lack a cutie mark?" She asked with a flick of her mane. "I really don't know where we came from but, Princess Celestia was looking after us until recently and What's a cutie mark?" Melody said but, her question got the attentions of the rest of the group as quick as lightning. "What?!" Was the universal reply from the group.

Author's Corner: Oh Damn! Shit just got real! So yeah any critique or advice would be nice. I would also like to know if I'm getting the Character's personalities right. And Before anypony asks Spike didn't talk for the obvious reason of Rarity was in the room anything he could have said would be nonsensical gibberish. True Facts.
