The Fallen Solier

Chapter 34

"Go on a date with me."

The entire library went quiet, everyone stared at you. Everyone was expecting a fight of some kind to break out.

Finally, after a eternity seemingly passed, Twilight replied. "What?"

"A date, you and me, a restaurant of your choice, I'll pay." You cross your arms and look at her.

The shock seemed to have died down, "W-wha? Anderson you can't just get all angry and suddenly ask me on a date!"

"Can and did." You reply.

"I don't even know what to say!? Where do I even begin?!" Twilight grabbed her hair and looked down.

"It's simple... Go on a date with me, we'll work from there."

Twilight looked back up at you, "You've never showed any interest before!" She looked at the 5 women surrounding us, "Has he showed any interest?!" She asks the other women.

Everyone is at a loss of words, they all simply shrug.

Twilight stepped from the huddle and started pacing the library, "I don't even..." She whispered, "W-why? Why now!" She turns and looks at you.

You pull a card from your deck of skills, "I've had a pretty bumpy life since I woke in the hospital months ago, I'd just like something stable for once." You break free from the crowd and approach Twilight. "And I've had interest in you for a while, haven't you noticed all my attempts at flirting with you?" You ask.

Twilight goes wide-eyed, "Is.. Is that what all that was? I thought it was just your way of joking!?"

"Im not that kind of guy, besides, I only joked like that with you!" You reply, throwing your arms in the air.

Twilight just looks up at you, she was still confused.

Taking a risk, you take her hand in hand and raise it to your heart, "Twilight... My mechanical heart beats for you and you alone."

You go silent and let your last words sink in.

Twilight looks you in the eyes, her face still screamed confusion. The crowd of women still watching were all having different reactions. Rainbow Dash was biting her lip, Fluttershy was watching from beneath her hair, Rarity looked excited, Applejack was still confused, Pinkie was simply staring, a unreadable expression on her face.

You released Twilight hands, you took her silence as a rejection. You felt awkward now, you cough and start stepping away. You turn your back and head for the door, you planned on returning the priceless book you stole, and living with the hobo clan. Seemed okay enough.

As you reach for the door handle, someone calls out.

"Wait!"

You turn and look at the individual who spoke, Twilight stepped towards you and rubbed her shoulder. She looked you in the eyes, you hoped it would play out like those crappy romance movies you watched in the past.

"Look Anderson, I'm flattered that you.. Feel that way for me. But, I don't like you that way." She paused and took a deep breath, "I don't think we should live together anymore."

Her last sentence was so abrupt and unexpected, you simply stared at her. You expected this to be a joke, but then you realized Twilight isn't the joking type. You thought of a way to recover from this, your feelings for Twilight were genuine, it isn't full-blown love. But you would have liked to see where it could've went.

As you attempt to think of a response, Twilight adds, "I'd like for you to leave today if you can, I.... I need room to think and I don't want you around."

You simply nod and walk past her, everyone had the expression of shock plastered on their face. Rarity seemed to be shocked the most, she must've thought it would've all worked out.

It obviously didn't.

You laugh weakly and walk upstairs, you push your bedroom door open and step inside. You grab your backpack and fill it with everything you owned. You store your larger guns in a duffle bag, you zipped it up and threw it over your shoulder. You double check your backpack and quickly put it on.

You look over the room, making sure there isn't a single item you forgot. There isn't.

You sigh and exit the room, you walk downstairs and look at everyone.

Pinky takes a single look at you and bursts into tears, she jumps on you while screaming, "Don't go Andy!"

You gently push her off, "Couldn't stay if I wanted to." You continue walking towards the door.

You open the door and twist you upper body to look at everyone, you give a firm nod and say. "I'll be back when I'm back, don't look for me, don't think about me, I'll be back before you know it."

And with that last phrase, you closed the door on them.

You walked around the treehouse. There, sitting out in the open, is a motor vehicle with a tarp thrown over it. You haven't even touched it after your last visit to the ship in the woods. What did you call the four-wheeler again?

The Low-rider? The Killjoy? The 4 Wheels of Doom? The Locus? Yeah, Locus is the name. You named it after the ship and its fallen soldiers... Wherever they may be.

You grabbed the tarp and pulled it off, the four-wheeler looked the same. It had the same depressing grey color to it, accompanied by scratches all around the bodywork. It annoyed you, and you had every interest in taking care of the scratches.

You dump the duffle bag on passenger seat, and sit down, you stare at the dashboard and realize you don't have the keys. You slam your face of the steering wheel and look at the treehouse.

This is gonna get weird.

You stood back up and decided to make it quick. You jogged around the treehouse and threw the door open. Everyone was huddled on the couch, surrounding a crying Twilight.

"Go away! The Library is clos- You're already back!?" Rainbow shoots up from the couch.

Pinky does the same and attempts to hug you again, "You're back Andy!!"

You dodge the tackle and reply with, "For my keys!" You jump up the stairs and quickly grab the keys from your.. Well what used to be your bedroom desk.

You jumped downstairs and stopped at the couch, everyone gave you a dirty look, you raised your hands in the air and pulled a sack of bits from your backpack. You drop them on the coffee table.

"For the window." You announce, before turning and running out of the library and back to your four-wheeler.

You check the duffle bag, every gun is accounted for. You slide the key against the dashboard, causing the engine to start, while also scaring a elderly man, who threatened to beat you with his cane. You waved him off and revved the engine, before taking off towards the Everfree Forest.

You arrived in the matter of an hour, you parked your vehicle by the ladder. You snatched your gun bag and started climbing up the ladder, once on top, you dropped onto the entrance bay. You waved your stolen credentials and entered, the same process of chemical spraying happened. Once past the checkpoint, you made way to the engine room.

You took a while getting the engine to start. And for some incredibly odd reason, every part of the ship that allowed flight was destroyed, but the engine was in remarkable condition. You attached your AMAHS suit to the ships mainframe, you could now remotely monitor the ship. After getting energy up and running, AND making sure the ships engine wasn't damaged in any way! (You preformed over a dozen tests on every little detail.)

You left for the armory, now that the ship wasn't forced to run off emergency power, you had access to many of the ships neat features.

One being a industrial grade 3d printer, and a shit ton of tools for fixing any type of firearm. You could now use the firing range as well, the door to it unlocked, and allowed entrance. You dropped your gun bag off here and left for the cafeteria.

Once you arrived, you discovered there was enough food to last you a life time! Though all the meat spoiled, but hey! Baked beans are pretty good! You can even use the 3d printer in here to create food! Pizza sounds amazing!

This ship was huge! And it all belonged to you know! There are still plenty of places you haven't checked out yet! You're 99.99% sure this ship had a room for AMAHS agents. Meaning you could possibly upgrade your suit! Or switch suits entirely! But you could look another time, this ship ain't going anywhere... And neither are you.

Now... About that damaged VTOL.
