"Ah dare you to kiss somepony in this room for a full minute." Applejack said smirking at the poor stallion. The room was deathly silent. Sgt. Gold just stood there with his mouth agape just like everypony else around him.

"What? Ya never kissed somepony before?" Applejack said jokingly. Suddenly, Izaiah and Falcon found that floors were REALLY interesting. The girls looked on curiously. Sgt. Gold walked over to a dark corner and sat there with his head hung low. Pinkie Pie walked over to him. Rainbow Dash turned towards Izaiah and Falcon. As did Twilight, who asked,

"Alright, what's going on here?" Izaiah walked over to falcon and whispered, "Your turn" and walked out of the train car with his head lowered. Falcon sighed. A thump was heard, but ignored as the group awaited falcon's answer.

"Well we kinda...sorta...never had our first kiss..." A low moan was heard behind the group of mares. Turning toward the corner where Sgt. Gold had been sitting, they were met by a jaw-dropping sight. A full blown make out session was happening between Pinkie Pie and Sgt. Gold. Pinkie pie had the black coated earth pony pinned to the wall and was kissing him passionately. Sgt. Gold returned the kiss, and forced Pinkie onto the floor, with him on top. Minutes flew by as the group just watched the two earth ponies make out with one another. Finally, the two broke apart, panting heavily. The Sargent gave a dopey grin as he towered over Pinkie.

"C-can I have another?" Gold asked. Pinkie looked at him with half lidded eyes and replied in a sensual voice;
"You can have as many as you want, I'm all yours."

Spike cleared his throat. Completely oblivious that they were being watched, the two got up and walked side by side into another train car to go do *** knows what. Every pony else just stood there, mouths agape. After a few minutes, they all straightened themselves out and decided to start up truth or dare again. Twilight and Applejack went to look for Sgt. Gold and Pinkie Pie, while Rainbow Dash searched the whole train for Izaiah. He was nowhere to be seen. Then she remembered that she had to check the top of the train too. Sure enough, she found the dark blue Pegasus sitting on top of the train looking at the stars.

For some reason, the night sky and cool breeze had always soothed and calmed Izaiah. Only here, in Equestria, the night sky was vibrant and fascinating. He could see every star and all of the constellations in the sky. On earth, one could never see all of the stars at night, due to the city lights on the ground dulling all of the star's lights. Closing his eyes, Izaiah slowly unfurled his wings, letting the icy breeze sift through his feathers. He sighed in contentment.

"So...I heard about your guys' little secret..." A familiar female voice said quietly, throwing Izaiah off his guard and almost sending him off the train. Regaining his composure, Izaiah opened an eye, finding two magenta colored eyes staring back. Realizing who it was, he closed his eye again.

"Well now you know. Let me guess...You all found Pinkie Pie and Sgt. Gold making out with each other huh?" Rainbow Dash Reeled back in surprise.
"How? You- You weren't even in there!"

"Yes, but did anyone notice when Pinkie pinned him to a wall and gave him a quick kiss? Or him returning that kiss?" Rainbow Dash shook her head. "I may not have been in there to see it, but I could definitely hear it." Izaiah opened his eyes and looked into the cyan Pegasus' eyes. (she was a lot closer than last time, just saying...) "So why did you come looking for me?" Izaiah asked, shivering slightly. She sighed before replying,

"I came to see if you were still up for another game of truth or dare. Also...I was worried about you. That look you had was scaring me. I had thought you had thrown yourself off of the train or something." Rainbow dash cocked her head to one side. "Care to explain?"
Izaiah only smiled.

"You better hope that bottle lands on me for that answer, Rainbow." He said walking over to a ladder on the side of the train.

"Is that a challenge?"

"EEEEEYYYYYUUUUUUPPPPPP." Izaiah confirmed, mimicking Big Macintosh.

"Oh it is so on!" Rainbow Dash claimed before they walked into the train car together.

The group of ponies sat around the bottle once more. Spike spun it and the game started once again. An hour or two passed before ponies began to fall asleep. First was Twilight, then Spike, Rarity, Fluttershy, Applejack, and then Pinkie Pie. Aj had made a bet for whoever could stay up the longest. A sleepy Falcon asked, "so...who's next..." Thump! Falcon had collapsed onto the floor next to a sleeping Twilight.
Izaiah grinned.

"Guess we got this bet in the bag, eh Rainbow?" She didn't answer. Izaiah looked over to see her sleeping soundly on the floor. Sgt. Gold walked over to Pinkie Pie and curled up next to her. Izaiah noticed this and spoke; "Sargent, if I find out that you made Pinkie Pie pregnant, I will kill you. Do you understand?" Sgt. Gold nodded and gave a salute before falling asleep. Having won the bet, and with nothing to do, Izaiah trotted over to a window sitting and staring out into the night sky. He was going to find the princess responsible for this beautiful night and give her the credit she deserved. He sat there for a bit before he felt a hoof on his shoulder and a warm breath on his ear.
"I think you won Izaiah." Rainbow Dash's hot breath tickled his ear, making it twitch.
"I know Rainbow...hey, I thought you were asleep!"
She sighed.
"I was. but I woke up and just saw you sitting there, looking out the window." She took a deep breath before she continued. "You've been sitting there for over an hour. Is there something wrong?" There was concern in her voice. Izaiah shook his head.

"No, its just that the night sky calms me, soothing almost. Because I know, even if I lost it all, it will always be there for me." Izaiah turned towards Rainbow Dash. "I've lived a bad, bad, life Rainbow. I have experienced war first hand, had family and friends fall, Team members betray me and try to stab me in the back, literally. The only ones there for me were my m4, Falcon, and Sgt. Gold." Rainbow dash's eyes widened in shock. Izaiah gestured outside. "But through it all, the sky, and the stars, and the moon, were all there, showing me the way."

Izaiah turned away from Rainbow Dash and hung his head low. "Sorry to bother you with my pathetic sob story." Not even a moment later, he was brought into a warm embrace from behind. Rainbow Dash whispered in his ear;

"That is all over now and neither me or the girls will ever let that happen to all of you again. Now go to sleep. No buts, no exceptions, just do it." Izaiah sighed before he leaned back further into Rainbow Dash's embrace. The one thing his superior officers ever told him and stuck with him was; 'NEVER and I mean NEVER argue with a woman'.

The last thing Izaiah said was 'Yes ma'am' before he drifted off into the land of dreams.
