A memento to my first attempt

three

home away from work

Quicksilver woke up to the smell of apple pie, sitting up and looking around he found he was in the apple's residence

"What happened" he said rubbing his aching head

"You were hit with a pretty big book." A familiar southern pony said pulling out a fresh pie from the oven. "hungry?"

"Yes thank you" Quicksilver said taking a slice.

"So what brings you in town?" she said sitting down next to him.

"Mandatory extended vacation" he said munching on a piece pie.

"She ordered you to go on vacation, well I guess after what you went though, she would have too" she said chuckling.

"I sure wasn't ready for it." he shook his head. "some generals could learn how to set up a better ambush from those three."

"Yeah so I didn't see any bags or luggage with you, I hope we didn't miss them" she said nervously.

"No I have a house on the outskirts of ponyville, it has anything I need" quicksilver said reassuringly.

Applejack smiled

"Good, that's a relief, when will you be headed off to your house," she said standing from the couch.

"I probably should go now." Quicksilver stood up and turned to the door. "thank you for the pie."

"Nah twas nothing" she said as Quicksilver left and started down the path.

After walking on the edge of the everfree for about fifteen minutes he reached the clearing were his house was, it was a decent sized house but not much bigger then most others, the first room was large with thick shag carpet, a plush couch, and a warm fireplace.

The kitchen was basically a master chef's paradise, two stoves, two sinks, plenty of counter space for any culinary use, and a large pantry filled to its max.

The study had walls upon walls of books, scrolls, and artifacts from ancient civilizations. But Quicksilver spent most of his time in the garden, most of it was covered in zebra violets and silver roses.

A stone path led to a large pond, the crystal clear water was smooth and unaffected by the wind. Quicksilver would often meditate in front of it, staring deep into the water and some times visions would come to him, visions of joy and love or visions of loss and sadness, he saw them all.

"Well its been a while since I was here," he said.

Opening the door and stepping inside, he walked in the the main room and flopped onto the couch.

"Ah this feels so good" he sighed sinking into the plush cushion

he was about to fall asleep when there was knock on his door, standing from the couch and as he was walking to the door he thought.

"I wonder who is there, Twilight and her friends don't know were I live do they?"

He opened the door to find Rainbow dash, Pinky pie, and Twilight.

"uh how did you find my house?" he said

"well celestia wrote directions in the last letter she sent" twilight said rummaging in her saddlebags for the letter.

"Not to mention Rainbow dash saw you walking this way and remembered seeing a house on the edge of the everfree" Pinky explained

"yeah I was wondering why there was a house out here," Rainbow said "so its your house, I didn't know you had property in ponyville."

"well I its not really in Ponyville but I needed a place besides my office in Canterlot so I had this house built as a vacation home," Quicksilver explained
