Fallout Equestria: Dawn of the Ranger

  It was a hot afternoon. Hotter than any day Sharpshooter has ever experienced. As sweat dripped from his brow, him and Colony proceeded to a outdoor shooting range just at the edge of New Appaloosa. The shooting range was decent size, enough to fit at least five ponies. It looked as if nobody had used it in a while, or hell even years. The smell of the place was disgusting. It smelled as if a Ghoul was sprayed by a skunk and then lit on fire. The mixture of skunk spray and sulfur was not a good combo. Colony appeared to not be affected by the smell.

"I come almost every week to practice my skills." she said.

  Figures. Colony set up three targets. The targets were cola bottles with red dots painted on them. Colony trotted back over to Sharpshooter who was behind a table with two guns on it. Colony picked up her Cowboy Repeater. Sharpshooter picked his magnum. Sharpshooter is using his magnum for range purposes, figuring his shotgun wasn't going to cut it. Both ponies looked at each other with competitive smiles.

"First one to hit all three in the middle wins." Colony said using her magic and aiming down her guns sight.

  Sharpshooter watched as Colony took her time and aimed carefully down the sight. He could hear her breathing calmly. Colony took her time as she lined up the sight with the first target. The target dot was so small it Colony had to admit, this was going to be tough. She took her first shot.

BANG!

  The shot rang out through the forest with an echo. The bottle flew off the pedestal with force, hitting the ground with a loud sound.

CLINK!

  Colony smiled as she aimed down her sights again to hit the other two targets. She fires yet again.

BANG! BANG!

  The other two bottles toppled over next to the other bottle. Colony lifted her gun to her muzzle and blew the smoke coming from the barrel. She shoots Sharpshooter a smug grin. He grunts and gets ready for his shots. Dutton gets the three more bottles and outs them up. Sharpshooter grips his magnum in his mouth as he aims it down the sight. Aiming with the mouth was way harder than it was from using magic to hold the gun. Colony had it easy. None the less, Sharpshooter was skilled with any gun. He aimed carefully with the magnum. Breathing through his nose, holding steady, he took a deep breathe as he let his first shot go.

BANG!

  The shot was clear as water as the bottle flew off the pedestal immediately. Colony's smile went away fast as the bottle shattered across the floor. Sharpshooter let out a soft giggle as he blasts the other two bottles with the same outcome. Dutton observes the broken bottles. He yells out from behind the pedestal.

"Nine won! He broke all the bottles! You just cracked em' mom!"

  With that, Colony's expression went into deeper shock as she realized defeat. Sharpshooter couldn't help but start laughing. He gets himself together and faces Colony, who is still dumb founded. He gives her a smug smile.

"Well...'pears that I have won." he said.

  Colony gets herself together and faces Sharpshooter with a defeated groan. Sharpshooter then realizes...he had no punishment planned. He was so focused on his shots that he didn't know what Colony's punishment would be for losing. Colony lowers her head.

"Alright...what do you want me ta' do?" she said annoyed.

  Sharpshooter had to think quick. He had to come up with an excuse.

"Oh, it'll come at ya when you see it." he said smiling.

  Colony looked at him with a confused look. Now she was scared, she didn't know the punishment was going to be, or how it was going to be. She expected it to be something dumb like, washing dishes, give him a massage, or whatever! She would have to see the punishment in order to do it. As little sense that made to her.

  The trio walked back to the town to see it was the evening. The sun was setting a gold and orange scene over the horizon. It was quite beautiful. The town was almost quite empty as a few ponies were closing their shops. The trio arrives home as night arrives. Colony put Dutton to bed as Sharpshooter was fiddling with his suit. Colony walks in on Sharpshooter messing with his helmet.

"What are you doing?" she asked

  Sharpshooters turns to face Colony. Holding bobby pins in his mouth. She laughs and Sharpshooter gives her a confused look.
