Prologue

The wind whipped against Twilight's mane and muzzle. She did not know why she came here, but seeing the place made her cry. She had always hated crying. It showed weakness and vulnerability, yet she still did it. Your pathetic Twilight.

"Twilight, are ya'll ok?" Applejack called, climbing the Mountain. It was really rocky, her hooves were cut, and they were raw. But she did not care, she needed to be with Twilight, she needed to support her at her moment of weakness. I hope she isn't thinking about Silver agian. she mentally slapped herself, of course she was thinking about Silver Speech, that bastard had destroyed her life. She didn't know the full story, but she knew what she needed. "Twi! Watch ya`ll doing up here?"

"Go away, Im fine" She lied, still trying to hold back her tears. She wanted to just wanted to wallow in her hate. *Why does she keep on trying to talk to me? Im nothing. Just like Silver said. I`m nothing. Nothing...at...all...*

"Nah, i wont, Ah can't let yall be in pain here by yourself" Applejack started to trot up to Twilight. She was panting, but she did not care, she just wanted to make sure Twilight was ok. "Ah heard what happenedto yall, and I'm really sorry about that" Applejack said, trying to comfort Twilight.Twilight looked at Applejack,no, she stared at Applejack. At that moment, Applejack thought that there was a different pony inside of the purple unicorn`s body. Then twilight started to have tears well up her purple eyes, on the edge of crying again.

"You know nothing about what happened. Unless Rarity told you... then that would mean that Rarity broke a Pinkie Promise." She looked over the cliff. "Applejack?" Twilight said.

"Yea sugarcube?"

"Have you ever wondered what it`s like to...die?"

Applejack tensed at when the Twilight finished her sentence, starting to grip her rope inside her saddlebag.Don`t fail me now rope Applejack thought. She couldn't let her die. Not over this.

"Twi, don't you even think about it!" Applejack yelled.

"But that`s the point Applejack, I already have" Twilight took a step forward.

At the very moment she did, Applejack flung her rope around her freind. She grunted as she pulled Twilight away from the ledge. Applejack galloped toward Twilight. She then hugged her tightly, Scorning her yet at the same time comforting her. Applejack was starting to cry, but held it back.

"What the fuck were you thinking! Are you really trying to kill yourself over this!" Applejack kept on yelling. Twilight was crying now, and Applejack stopped. Applejack, what in the hell are ya`ll thinking she mentally scorned herself again. She did that often now. Ponyville was not the same anymore. Not after the Silver indecent.

After a while, Twilight spoke. Her voice was raspy, sound choked.

"I hate him... he used me, messed with my head, and I want him to fucking burn" Twilight whispered."Why did he do this to me?" Twilight asked Applejack.

Applejack knew that Twilight was hurt, and whatever she said could change whether she could get her out of this hole or not. "Twilight, he was a Liar, a stallion with a silver-tongue, and Ah can promise that he won't get near yaever again" she paused to think, then continued " Ill buck his teeth out if he does come back".

They sat there for a bit longer. The wind was still whipping, not showing any sign of stopping. It was also starting to rain. Applejack felt wet, but not from the rain.

"...Applejack..."

"Yea Twi?"

"...Do you want to hear the... real story?"

"Only if ya'll want to, but lets get home first" Applejack then pulled Twilight on her back.

"A-Applejack! What are you doing!?" Yelled Twilight, feeling the tight ropes rubbing her skin slightly raw. Applejack slightly chuckled.

"Ya`ll need to rest. Now sit back and stop struggling, it will only make it worse"

Twilight couldn't help but comply.

When they got to the Golden Oak`d library, Applejack set Twilight down. The ropes fell off of Twilight the second Applejack let go.

"Now Twi, Do you want to me, or no"?"

Twilight nodded.

"Twilight, what did he do to yall?" Applejack asked. Twilight frowned. *Don't yall frown on me*. "I juswanted to know Twilight, If yall don` want to tell me, then Ah w-"

"No, i want to, it just brings back bad memories, that`s all." Twilight interrupted. Twilight got some blankets and pillows. They laid down, and Twilight began to tell what was the "True story"

"It all started one day, and was a normal day, but that would be the day that i will meet Silver" Twilight started...

Explanation part two

"Ow! Rarity, be careful!" the lavender mare said. Twilight came to the Carousel Boutique to get a dress - a simple one- and Rarity asked what for. Now Twilight wished that she just said she wanted a fucking dress for no apparent reason, and Rarity probably would have done it. But no, Twilight had to tell her friend that sappy "First date" and "it must be perfect" crap. She was mad today, then became happy when Silver asked her out on a date, but became angry again when she went to Rarity.

"I`m sorry darling, but you can't look simple on  your first date," Rarity responded.

"Rarity, I'm not posing for Photo Finish, and besides, Silver Isn't into that fancy stuff." Twilight retorted. Regret filled her mind when Rarity`s eyes went wide.

"Then we need to get you into something else! How much does he like fashion? Is he simple, or is he so-so?" Rarity kept on gabbering on and on about styles, and Twilight groaned in frustration. She laid on the hard surface and putted her hooves on her ears.

She can't shut up Twilight thought. Rarity stopped for a moment, then looked at Twilight. Rarity put her hoof on Twilight, and she looked up. "Why can't you just make something like a white dress for a date?" Twilight asked, and then she whimpered. Rarity felt terrible for putting her best friend in so much stress. Twilight had confined everything she had felt for the Silver stallion, and Twilight came over often just to spill more feelings to Rarity. She knew what was going on, and it was the very reason she helped Twilight. She just hoped that Silver does not betray Twilight like Trombone did herself.

No, I won't let that happen, Twilight will be happy with Silver. Rarity noted, and then took the dress on Twilight and conjured up a simple dress with stars on it. "Perfect!" Rarity exclaimed. Twilight felt the soft cloth, and it was very comfortable too. She didn't feel strangled either. Twilight looked up with a smile. Rarity noticed her tear stains, and she grabbed a tissue with her magic and wiped her face. "Now go, i don't want you to miss your date." Rarity said, pointing a hoof at her diamond clock. Twilight's eyes went as wide as saucers, and she galloped out of the Carousel and said a quick goodbye. She would give her a proper Canterlot thanks later.

Trombone`s Noodle Restaurant

"Twilight, over here!" Silver called. Twilight snapped her head over to where Speech was sitting. She trotted over to him. The Place was beautiful, and she was awed by the careful set-up of the restaurant. The tables were set up in a way that was very romantic. Candles were set up at the center of the table, and wine was already poured into her glass. As she sat down, she slunked down into her chair. "Tough day, i suppose?" Silver asked. Twilight nodded. He poured a glass of wine for himself. "Here, it will ease the pain." He held his hoof out with his wine in hoof, and Twilight took her own and clinked it against his. They both sipped the wine.

Hm, Zap Apples? Twilight wondered. She'd tasted Zap Apples before, and they tasted wonderful. "So, Silver, how has your day been?" She asked. She wanted to start out simple, nothing to big.

"Nothing much, just been working at the cart." The waitress came by and asked them what they wanted. Twilight just ordered some hay-noodles, and Silver ordered the same. "Anyways, i`m sure your life is more eventful." he said. She shook her head.

"When you work at a library, it actually isn't that interesting." she responded. "I mean, Ponyville is nice and all, and I like the quiet, but i want something new." She sighed.

"Hm, I know what you mean." Silver said. The waitress came with their food, and they started eating. As Twilight took the first bite, she surprised at how well the food tasted. But she couldn't help but notice the fact that it tasted very familiar. As she was lost in thought, the owner of the restaurant came out to greet her personally.

"Hello sir, and hello"  The tan pegasus stallion squinted his eyes at her. "Miss Sparkle," he finished. Twilight stared at him dumbfounded.

"T-T-Trombone?" She stammered out. Trombone nodded.

"Who is he?" Silver asked. Trombone smiled.

"One of Twilight's dear friends used to date me, but she broke up with me like a coward." He looked at Twilight. "And you know Twi, Rarity was such a whore, and it didn't take much to convince her that her feelings were 'love at first sight.' Oh boy, and wasn't she such a marshmall-" he was interrupted by a silver hoof slamming his jaw. Trombone stammered back. He spit out some blood. "Now i'm going to fuck you up, pal." Trombone said. He flew at Silver Speech. Twilight didn't need this for her first date. She held them still with her magic.

She walked up to Trombone and looked at him. Her hair started to take a yellow glow, and her coat was starting to become white. Her voice was more staggery, but it packed so much anger that the dragon Fluttershy faced would have cowered. "If I ever find you in my sight, I will rip your wings off personally. If you ever say anything offensive about my friends again, I will kill you. And if you ever even think about hurting my friends, I will burn you slowly until your skin peels off!" She now looked at him with eyes that were no longer violent, but red. Twilight released Trombone from her magical grip. He fell on his head, but shakily got up.

"Get out." Trombone said.

"With pleasure, fucker." She dragged Silver out with her magic, and then she released him when they got outside.

Silver dusted the dirt off himself when he fell. They stared at each other for a while. Silver was the first to break the silence. "Listen, I`m sorry, I just got so angry, that I..." he trailed off. Twilight ran a hoof across his muzzle.

"It`s ok..." she whispered.

"No, no it`s not ok!" He insisted.

Kiss him Twilight kiss him!

No, I might rush him, I can't!

He just punched someone, for you! He giving you hints! Just fucking kiss him!

Fine!

Twilight, losing the internal battle against her conscience, breathed in very deeply. Adrenaline pulsed through her veins. Before he could protest again, she lunged at his lips. Silver eyes went as wide as saucers, but then slowly closed them. Sadly, Twilight pulled away.

"Huh, wh-" Silver tried to ask what was going on, but Twilight shushed him. She conjured up a teleportation spell, and they appeared in Twilights bed. As Twilight expected, he looked really dizzy. She waited until he steadied himself, and started kissing him again. She felt exhilarated, but she did hope that she was doing this right. She never kissed another pony, other than her parents, before in her life.

How much have I`ve been missing out on? Twilight thought. She have read a lot of romance books, and she knew that it does go much, much past just kissing. She started prodding against his lips with her tongue, and he slightly chuckled. He opened his mouth to let her in, and she darted in. Although it was mostly one sided, she was pretty good. Regretfully, they had to break apart for a breath of air. After a while, they locked lips again, and exploring each others mouths, while fighting each others' tongue for dominance as well.

Soon, as the night became old, and they fell asleep together...

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------"But it was all a lie Applejack, it was all a lie..." Twilight finished her story. Applejack was now fully convinced that she was going to kill him. "Twilight, what did he do... what turned this sour?" Applejack asked.

Explanation part Three

Twilight looked at Applejack. "Sour?" Twilight whispered. "Thats an understatement..." She whimpered out. "I think the word you're looking for is 'when did he fuck me up'... yeah, that`s it." Twilight laid down, she didn't even cry.

As the weather ponies gathered up the clouds to -yet again- make up for a late downfall, Twilight sparkle was laying down getting ready to read her new book she had just obtained. "Fifty Shades of Hay" She thought out loud. Just as she opened up the cover, she heard the rain begin to pound on top of the tree. It was harsh, and she knew it must have been cold too, because she had to light the fireplace to warm herself up to get ready for the long night of reading. Just then a rat-tat-tat on her door. Twilight groaned in frustration. "Coming!". She galloped down to the door and opened it. Silver Speech Stood outside the doorway shivering.

"T-Twilight, m-may I come i-i-in?" He stuttered out. Urgently Twilight pulled him inside the warm tree. As they walked in, she saw just how cold he was, and he was shivering a lot. But something inside his eye`s didn't seem right, there seemed to be a strange sadistic gleam in his eyes. She quickly brushed off the thought immediately.

He`s not like that Twilight thought. They have been dating for a month now, and it had been perfect so far, at least that was what she thought. He had been his first date ever, and she didn't know how relationships were supposed to work out. As she levitated a blanket over to cover up Silver, she also put "Fifty Shades of Hay" up on a shelf. Rainbowdash had told her that it was in no was kid friendly.I wonder what`s so bad about that book she pondered over what Dash had said about it. Dash was honestly against Twilight reading the book, but she insisted that she would. She shrugged her shoulders. She would soon find out. But she first had to tend to her colt friend. "Do you want anything to eat?" she called out.

"Y-Yes please, I-I would like something" He called back. She went to the kitchen and made him a hay sandwich, heated it up, and went back to the main room. When she did, she found he was gone from the fireplace, and the blanket was laying flat, no sign of Silver being inside it. She heard her hooves click as she searched for Silver.

"Silver? Where are you?" she called out. she started to go upstairs and into the guest room. "Silver, I swear if this is a prank, its not funny" she called out, slightly nervous. She went to her room, trotting quickly to her room. She opened her door, walking in slowly as she searched on for Silver.  She jumped when she heard the door click shut behind her, losing grasp of the plate and dropping it. A loud crash fell on the floor. She barely had time to think when suddenly she was slammed on her side and was pinned to the bed. The air got knocked out of her and she started gasping for air. She wiggled against the strong hooves, but she couldn't move. When she looked up, she saw Silver Speech standing above her, that same sadistic look in his eyes as earlier, but now came packed with a smile too. "What... are you... doing?" she gasped out.

"Oh nothing, Im just tired of waiting. You see, I never loved you, all I wanted was to fuck you and that toned flank of yours, but you were taking too long to gather up the will, so i decided I should take over and get what i want." He chuckled before continuing."I mean, really, didnt you see this coming? I had no interest in you, just wanted to get off. But now, I have to do this the hard way" Silver said. Twilight was stunned.

Was it all a lie? Is this a prank to scare me? Is he really going to... rape me? Twilight's mind was racing. One question stood out above all of them.He never loved me? she was interrupted by a snicker.

"Honestly, I really did think for a moment that I would get to be nice to you, but it looks like you're going to lose your virginity in a terrible, terrible way. Don't worry, I'm going to make sure your first time will be as painful as possible" Silver cackled a evil, nightmare fueled laugh. Twilight started hyperventilating. Silver brought is cock against her marehood. She closed her eyes, hoping that this was a nightmare. Then she heard a shotgun cocking.

"Get the fuck off her" a  elegant voice said, yet it was very sharp. "Before i blow your motherfucking brains out you ruffin"

Silver froze in place. He turned his head  toward the white unicorn. "Who are you?" Silver said. Rarity chuckled.

"Usually Im Rarity, but right now, Im your death-wish. Now get off her you pig" Rarity respond. Silver slowing got off. Lighting cracked outside. Silver took that blinding flash light to escape. he started to fly, but at the same time Rarity heard the flaring of his wings and show the gun. A bullet hit his leg, and blood started to spill. He pulled through though, and flied out of the window. Rarity cursed at not getting a good shot, but then remembered that Twilight was the real reason that she was here.

As Rarity walked over to Twilight, she saw the she was in the fetal position, but not in pain or exhaustion. "Twilight dear, are you ok?" Rarity knew that Twilight was in fact no where near ok, but she had to ask. Twilight jumped up to rarity and cried out all of her pain. It was the first of many tears that she knew she would cry.

"Why! Why! Why did he do this! I thought he loved me! But he was just a fucking pig! A liar! A monster!" Twilight sobbed out. She kept on crying out in pain, Rarity calmed her down over time. After a while Twilight asked why rarity was here.

"Well, I couldn't sleep, so i wanted to know if i could get a book here. When i walked in and heard what Silver was saying, i grabbed your shotgun you hide in the basement." Rarity responded.

"What book did you want" Twilight asked. she was still sobbing, but not as bad.

"I was wondering if you have 'Fifty Shades of Hay' by any chance"

Applejack just sat there. The story was horrifying. After a while of awkward silence Applejack decided to break it.. "Twi, Ah donknow what to say to yall"  Applejack said.

Twilight looked up at her, a look of sorrow was in her eyes, a large frown spread across her face. "Applejack, you don't need to say anything, in fact, you helped me" Twilight whispered. She started to walk over to Applejack. "You let me confine into you, and after all these years, i think i know just how deep i really feel for you" She now laid down on the floor, in front of Applejack. "Applejack, you stayed by my side the entire time, i know you always tried to do that, you came more often than anypony else did, you never gave up on trying to save me from hurting myself more than one time. I know that just now you finally were able to get to me, and now you know the full story" She finished with a deep sigh. Twilight then took a leap of faith, and kissed Applejack. Applejack's eyes shot open so fast that Rainbow Dash might have been challenged by the speed. Soon though, she closed them, and they fell into a deep kiss. They laid there for hours. They found each other`s true love, and not just a fake.

This time it was real.

This time, they really were happy.

And this, is where the story begins. This is where we follow along in a great adventure of these to fillies lives.

And they will find hope.

Thinking

Applejack woke up just as Celestia's sun started to rise. She always did. When she tried to get up off the hard wooden floor, she realized she was being gripped hard, she looked at Twilight, tears in her eyes, but was quite obviously still asleep. Applejack tried to listen to what she was murmuring, but it seemed like gibberish. "Twilight, wake up" Applejack whispered in Twilight`s ear. The lavender unicorn stirred, and squinted her eyes.

"Applejack?" Twilight's voice was soft, but it sounded dry.

"Ahm here sugarcube" Applejack got up, and walked over to the window. "Go on upstairs, Ahll be there soon" Applejack said. The sun started to peak out, and Applejack sighed. Luna, if this is a dream, then Ah never want to wake up.

Applejack stared for a while longer before trotting upstairs.Twilight was in the bed, breathing quite softly. Applejack crawled into the bed and wrapped her hooves around Twilight.

Twilight stirred, but only a little. Applejack fell asleep again in their embrace.

Hours later

There was a heavy knocking on the wooden door downstairs. Twilight awoke with a grunt as she rolled out of her bed.  Applejack soon followed as she too was awoken by the hard knocking .

"Ah'll see who it is Twily" Applejack stated, grogginess in her voice. Applejack may be a farm pony, but not until she coffee.

"I'll make breakfast then" Twilight responded. "You want coffee too" She asked. Applejack nodded gracefully. The hard knocking came again, so Applejack quickly trotted down the stairs, ignoring the annoying creak on the last step, and then proceeding to open the door. She nearly bucked the pony who stood in the doorway in the face.

"You!". Applejack hissed. It was Trombone, but something didn't seem right about him. He did not wear that cocky smile he always wore. Instead, it was a look of fear and anxiety.

"A-A-Applejack" he spurred out. "H-help me"

Suddenly, he collapsed on the floor, unconscious on the floor. In his hoof he held a letter.

It only had four word written on it.

I'm coming for you

Applejack froze. She looked at the initials hesitantly. It said SS.

"Twi! Get down here and' help mah get Trombone upstairs!" Applejack yelled out. She was afraid now. Silver was a pony that had more than a couple tricks up his sleeve. But why wasn't he stopping? He had already lost, he has nothing to gain now. And why years later? Why Trombone, what did he do? So many questions filled her head, and she had thought that they had happy ending. She just wanted a happy ending. She felt like she was now carrying the Weight of the world all over again. Finally, she broke down and started crying.

Twilight trapped Trombone with her magic and decided that it would be for the best to let Applejack cry for a while, she was in a lot of stress. Twilight levitated Trombone upstairs and grabbed the med-kit along the way. She set him on the table upstairs and started examining and cataloging his injuries.

Multiple lacerations on the back, bruises on his face and back, bleeding profusely She started to realize that she would have to examine him later, she needed to stop the the bleeding, or he would die. She pulled out alcohol and bandages. She poured some of the alcohol on a small towel and washed his most severe wounds down. His eyes snapped open and he screamed, whaling incoherent words. Twilight winced at the sudden noise, but continued to clean the wounds out. When she stopped, Trombones eyes fluttered closed again. He was breathing heavy, but it was ragged and choked. Twilight then wrapped the bandages around his back. She sat back, wiping a forehoof over her forehead. She trotted back downstairs to find Applejack still crying on the floor. Twilight felt a twinge of pain seeing her like this.

Twilight walked over to Applejack and wrapped her hooves around  Applejack and started whispering in her ear. "Shh, its ok, Im here now" Twilight clutched Applejack harder. Applejacks sobbing slowly became small hiccups and whimpers. "Applejack, what's wrong?" Twilight asked. Applejack handed her the note. Twilight read it and gasped. "N-No, it c-can`t be... No..." Twilight saw the look on Applejacks face, and saw nothing but pain. Deathly, hurtful pain.

"Twi, what do we do now?" Applejack said.

"I don't know hun. I just don't know" Twilight responded.

"Well, we have to do something"

"Well, we can ask Tr-" Twilight got interrupted when she heard crashing up stairs. Twilight  and applejack got up and started to run upstairs. When they got to the top, they saw Trombone on the floor, trying to stand.

"Fuck! Help me!" Trombone yelled with a scorn. Twilight and Applejack got trombone up on a chair and steadied him out. "Celestia dammit my fucking leg hurts!" He yelled out.

Twilight looked at his leg to see she missed a wound. It was a deep gash inside his hind leg. Twilight said "Hold still" when she got the bottle of alcohol and bandages. Twilight singled Applejack to hold him down. Suddenly, Twilight poured the stinging liquid on his wound. At the same time, Applejack lunged and held him down. Trombone once again yelled, but bucked his legs this time. Twilight got the bandages just as fast, then they backed off. His intel shocked disappeared, and then yelled at them. "What in the living fuck was that for?" Applejack smacked him.

"Shut up! Just shut up! She helped you stay alive and you should pay more motherfucking respect! I would have let you died!" She stopped to slap him again.

"Applejack! Stop!" Twilight said. Lets get some information out of him. Applejack opened her mouth to protest, but the she closed it.

Both mares then looked at Trombone.

"What? Oh fine, gather round little fillies" Trombone said annoyingly. Both mares rolled thier eyes and sat down. Trombone then began his story...

Bloodshed

Trombone took look at his monthly bill, which included rarity emotional distress payment. "Fucking hell" Trombone murmured "800 bits for just that!" Trombone slammed his hoof against the desk he was sitting in. He pushed himself away from the desk in frustration. 1900 bits in total. After a moment of thinking, he pushed a small button that allowed him to send a message to one of his employs. Not only was his place a restaurant, it was also a secret business. "Filthy Rich, get in here now" Trombone said in a monotone voice. He knew where all these bills were coming from, and he was planning on getting his bits back. Moments later, Filthy Rich walked in.

"Yes boss, what is it?" Filthy said. He seemed nervous, but really, he should be petrified. Trombone was the richest pony in ponyville, even Filthy rich standee no chance against Trombone.

"Filthy, I can't help but notice that my bills are... unusually high" he started. "I mean, have you ever seen me buy a private carriage ?" When Filthy did not answer, Trombone got more angry, but stayed in a boss like auditie. "Hm? What answer do you have for me?

Filthy then smirked. This caught Trombone off guard.

"I've been spending your money on getting a assassin" Filthy Rich said. At the same time, Trombone felt a hard object hit his head. "Bingo!" That was the last thing Trombone heard.

Trombone woke up within a dark stone room roped to a chair. It reeked of moss and rot, forcing him to cringe. His head felt like it was cracked open, and it seemed that he was still asleep. "Well, it seemed that the fucker finally woke up" The voice rang a hundred alarms in his head, but his brain would not let him process the voice.

"Well? Can you talk, or did Silver Speech hit your head too hard?" Another voice said. Trombone lifted up his head and turned it to the pony who was talking.

"No..." Trombone said. It was Silver. He was going to die here, without any mercy. "Filthy, what are you doing?" Trombone trembled out with his weak voice.

"Well, Silver here offered me a chance at getting the business you own, and as the co-owner, if you die or go missing, I will be able to take your place" Filthy Rich chuckled out. "And now, Silver is going to do my dirty work, and hes going to kill you, slowly, painfully, and mercilessly" Filthy was now laughing in a villain like way. "Enjoy death, Trombone" At the moment that Silver hit Trombone on his jaw.

Pain surged through his head causing him to nearly black-out, but he held.

"Wow, this fucker does have some dignity left" Silver spoke out. "Lets change that" Silver hit him again, this time in the gut, and hard. Trombone heaved, and then puked on the floor. Silver did not let him recover this time, and hit him square in the head again. Trombone blacked out once. He woke up soon after though, feeling something digging into the side of his leg. He opened his eyes, but had to quickly shut them again in intense pain and agony. Silver had just cut his leg, making blood draw.

"Fuck!" Trombone yelled out. Silver Speech then cut his other leg, causing even more blood to come out of Trombone. Then he felt a sharp pain on his back, cutting downwards, and passed out for one last time.

Trombone then woke up on the edge of ponyville. He could barely stand, but got up anyways. He knew he couldn't reach PonyVille hospital, so he head to the library, to see if anyone could help. He sure did hope so, or his life will be over.

Without hope, he was going to die

And soon.

Explanation part one.

Explanation Part 1

It was re-supplying day for Golden Oaks. Well, Twilight's OCD was more or less raging wild today, and just as anyone would have thought she would have act, she found out she was low on A LOT of supplies. “Oh Celestia,” Twilight mumbled. She started freaking out, pacing back and forth like a filly losing her new toy. She she began to finally calm down. The amount of missing supplies were lower than they ever had been, and she didn't need to deal with this now. “SPIKE!” she yelled, and a purple baby dragon started running down the stairs, tripping on the last one.

Spike, though, got up, and took one look at Twilight and how she was acting, and he knew exactly what was going on.

“What do we need?” he called, going back upstairs to get the list and quill. Twilight just blinked, quite surprised at the young dragon`s efficiency. She snapped out of her trance and listed off what she needed, when Spike asked,

“Umm, where are the quills?” Twilight face hoofed.

Ponyville

It was very sunny and quite warm for early fall. As Twilight and Spike walked past the various markets and street-vendors, Twilight couldn't help but realize that Spike had become quite glum. “Is everything alright Spike?”

Spike sighed. “I've just been thinking… about Rarity…”Spike said, just loud enough for Twilight to hear. Normally Twilight would joke about it by saying, “What type of mustache do you want this time?” and they would both laugh, but it seemed like this time, something was very wrong.

“Spike, take a day off.” Twilight said. “When I get home, let’s talk, ok?” She finished. Spike gleamed with happiness again. Twilight took the quill and list out of his claws, and Spike jumped up and hugged Twilight. “Thank you,” Spike whispered in her ear.

Twilight smiled and started walking down the street again. As she walked, she saw there was a new cart that sold “Silver quills, ma`am,” a deep voice read the sign for her. She looked down from the sign and realized that she walked over to the cart unconsciously.

“Oh, um, I've never heard of those before, what's different about them?” Twilight said, trying not to sound awkward. She looked at the earth pony stallion and saw that he was quite… Silver. Even his eye color was silver. He`s good-looking too. She thought. She didn't deny it either, or was surprised.

“They last ten- times longer, and they hold in ink even better than the highest quality brand” He said. He looked at her for a while. “What`s your name?” he asked.

“U-um Twilight Sparkle.” She responded. She didn't know what was with this stallion that made her so nervous.

“Hm, that's a wonderful name, Twilight. My name is Silver-Speech, but you can call me Silver” He said with graduate. Twilight giggled.

“Well, I’ll buy two of them, how many bits?” Twilight said. She didn’t know why, but she wanted to get to know him much more. Silver Speech looked around him, then went next to her ear.

“Since you are my first customer, I’ll give them to you for free,” He whispered. He handed her three quills and went back to his cart. “It was nice to meet you Miss Sparkle! Come back soon! “He yelled out behind her.

oh trust me, I will she thought.

“So, thats how it began?” Applejack asked. Twilight nodded. She decided to stay, just to make sure Twilight didn't do anything stupid. Although she said she was fine, those closest to her knew she was anything but. After the Silver-Speech incident, she just wasn't the same, and every pony was worried she was going to cease being herself completely. *Why did that motherfucking bastard do this to my Sparkles?* Applejack thought. She knew only part of what happened. She wanted the full story. So Applejack asked when her feelings started to become deeper for Silver. No pony really knew, so Applejack wanted to be the first. *Everything is going to be ok.*
