Ch 10: Memories of a broken heart, and a big-mouthed, showoff

I was in the kitchen, even before Celestia raised the sun today. It’s been a few days, of nothing but sleep, and rest. I finally felt like myself again. The girls were happy to see me acting like my normal self again too.

I started getting the things to make French Toast. I felt so good, I wanted to do something to repay twilight for baring with me, and then I need to do something for the other girls. They ALL helped me, and I owe them. I started preparing the bread, and started buttering a pan as I set up the stove. I was soon placing the soon to be French toast on the pan.

After a while the sun rose and I heard some thuds, and some clicking sounds heading for the kitchen. Twilight and Spike must have woken up. I set the French toasts on plates and set the plates on the table, as they entered the kitchen and looked at the table then me confused.

I just shrugged at them. “I wanted to do something to apologize for how I was…and to thank you for everything you did to help me. I really appreciate it.”

I saw Twilight and Spike sit at the table. I saw twilight smile as she looked at me. “you didn’t have to do this. Just seeing you back to your old self was good enough. You certainly had me worried.” She took a bite of the French toast and blinks as the book she had just lifted in her magic fell as she just ate.

“well, well, well…seems I found her weakness, eh, Spike?” I looked at spike to see him licking syrup off the plate, which made me laugh. “I guess this breakfast was a huge success!” I grabbed an apple and tossed it up catching it and took a bite of it. “there are a few more pieces in the pan. And Spike, do NOT hog them all. Make sure if Twi wants any more first. Well, I will see you two later…I have training to do…”

I heard a chair slide on the floor, and looked back to see Twilight’s eyes, and nothing else. I got used to this proximity because of Pinkie…except she had her eyes popping out a bit... “Blaze, Rainbow has to work all day today. How are you training today then?”

“how? I’m not training my flight…I’m doing a new training regiment, that I am gonna keep secret…” I walked out the door leaving a confused Twilight. I started heading for the Everfree forest, making sure none of the girls see me heading that way. I got to Ponyville’s outskirts, near Fluttershy’s house, so I quickly flew into the forest. When I was at the tree line, I looked around to make sure nopony saw. After being sure I wasn’t seen, I walked deeper into the forest.

Twilight’s POV

The whole day has passed since Blaze made that incredible breakfast, but he still hasn’t come back. If only I knew where he went. Why didn’t he tell me?! What if he’s hurt out there? What if he is at an isolated area?! I have to find him!

I used my magic to get my saddlebags on, and filled them with possibly needed medical supplies, then rushed towards the door opening it. As I ran out I crashed into somepony, but I didn’t get to see, but on reflex I closed my eyes tightly. When me and the other pony stopped tumbling, I felt an odd warmth on my lips. Oh please no…

Blaze’s POV

Well…I trained, I come back to the library to get an eyeful of purple in my vision, so I shut my eyes to not get anything in them and now….? My lips feel kind of warm, and my face is warming up…why? I know this feeling…and every time I have experienced this feeling…something bad happens to me…usually heartbreaking…when I opened my eyes I could see Twilight’s eyes opening as well. I knew we were kissing…or…our lips were together, but we weren’t…kissing exactly…it much like what a kid does when they didn’t know what a kiss was exactly. That awkward...pursed lips, and press together thing, but this still felt a little off from that…why?

I could see twilight looking at my eyes, and our muzzles, back and forth for a bit and me in a shellshock state, I couldn’t move. After another five seconds, she pulled her head back, and giggled in a nervous and embarrassed way. Oh, I HAD to mess with her now.

I just smirked, and whispered to her. “tend to move fast I see, but how fast do you want to go?”

I pulled my head back and I saw her face go red, HER WHOLE FACE WAS TOMATO RED!!! And the red is going…down her neck…and her hair is….uhhh….she looks pissed….ok, legs, break the shellshock and RUN!!! DAMMIT LEGS, FUCKING RUUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNN!!!! I finally just bolted off. Where can I go? Where to hide?! Fluttershy’s!!!

I looked back to see a red Twilight, with a mane that looked to be pure fire, and eyes that screamed for blood. That look was almost as bad as Fluttershy’s ‘stare’ as the girls called it now. I felt myself stumble and I fells forward in a tumble…channel my inner assassin…in mid-roll I jumped and flapped my wings flying off. Wings make things SO much easier. I went up to where I was even with the second floor windows. I knew I was gonna be stupid so I curled my wings under my body, curled up and rolled as I turned, then when I felt it was right I opened my wings and extended my legs as I slid on the ground.

I turned my wings so they acted as an air brake, and when I stopped sliding I lifted my hoof and bit into it hard till I felt blood squirt out. I saw twilight a few inches in front of me, as she tried to tackle me, then I was at Fluttershy’s cottage, feeling all my energy just leave me. So I get to where I can endure one thing, then I get something else to get used to…I hope this is the last thing I have to deal with, but I feel I will have something else in the future…please…please be wrong just ONE time…ONCE IS ALL I ASK FOR YOU TO BE WRONG!!!

It has been a couple hours since I used blood magic, as I am now gonna call it, and Fluttershy has wrapped my bite wound, and helped me onto her couch to rest. The world still feels fuzzy, but I am aware of my surroundings again. Angel is, of course, on my back, thumping his back leg at my neck whenever Fluttershy isn’t around, but when she is, Angel just gets all snuggled up in my hair, like I am his personal pillow, and transportation. I swear he acts just like my mothers’ old dog, that we named ‘Coco’ she hated males, dog, cat, human, doesn’t matter. Female? She’s all lovey-dovey at, males? She growls, and snaps when they just LOOK in her direction.

But anytime I talked to my mom, or got her help with something, Coco would always….ALWAYS bump into me. Try to trip me up, just…anything to annoy me. But Angel’s leg thumping felt nice. I heard the door open, and as quick as the door opened I heard Twilight’s voice. “Fluttershy! Blaze disappeared and nopony can find him! We need your hel-“She finally saw me, and I just blinked. Too exhausted to run…well…I am going to die.

15 minutes with Twilight hugging me and saying she was sorry, constantly. And I don’t think she hears me saying it’s alright, and that I wasn’t mad. She finally let me go and looked really tired, and sad. I just sat up and smiled placing a hoof on her shoulder, which made her look at me and she smiled herself.

“I am so sorry Blaze, I had something happen when I was a filly, that hurt, and that back at the library…it made me think of that and, it hurt…and I got so angry, cause I thought you were gonna hurt me…like that colt did…” I looked at Twilight and pulled her to me with my wing and hugged her.

I felt twilight flinch, and tense up, but she soon relaxed and leaned into me. “I’m so sorry Twi…I didn’t know…I would never….NEVER hurt any of you girls like that on purpose…I just thought if I teased you a bit, it wouldn’t be a big deal…I’m really sorry…” I looked at Twilight to see her smile and her eyes slowly close. My disappearing act must have concerned her more than I thought.

Fluttershy helped me get Twilight on my back, and we said our goodbyes, as I left to get Twilight home, and in her bed. Not long, I ran into the rest of the girls who were all relieved to see I was fine. I explained I got to Fluttershy’s when Twilight got mad for a little thing I did, but she explained why she reacted that way, and everything was fine. I kept what caused it secret for obvious reasons, and soon got to the library.

I carefully got twilight in her bed and got a blanket over her. I then headed to my room and before I opened the door I heard a crunching sound and turned quickly looking both directions down the hall. “hello?” I know it isn’t Spike, he was asleep in Twilight’s room. I headed to the stairs and jumped off gliding to the ground level looking around as I heard the crunch happen right behind me and turned quickly. Nothing, but…my breath is visible…and it’s so cold.

I then heard a dry raspy voice whisper at my ear. “you…can…not…escape…me…” I stood there frozen, then gulped before I jumped forward turning in mid air and looked at…nothing? Great…I’m crazy, and I feel out of breath…

I heard the crunch and looked over to see a few cracks on the phoenix egg. I walked over and placed my hoof on it gently as it felt hotter, but not enough to burn me any. I just smiled while looking at the egg. “trying to break free, huh? You will break free when you’re ready…” I walked to the couch, and pulled the blanket down getting under it, and getting comfy…or…as comfy as I could get on this thing…

I heard slow paper rustling, and I opened my eyes to see the back of the couch. I must have rolled over, so I decided to almost close my eyes and rolls over, and I see Twilight, reading by the light of a single candle. I smirked and silently got off the couch and crept over to twilight, before I held my breath and moved my muzzle so it was by her ear.

“caught you” I pulled my head back quickly, as she jumped and turned around.

I just chuckled at her reaction as she sighed. “are you always gonna scare me?

“when all it takes is a little thing like that? Yes, but you DID sleep, so I’m not gonna make you go to bed this time.” I grabbed a nearby seat and sat next to her. “so, what are you reading?”

Twilight went back to her book, “I’m just reading a book on magic, maybe try to learn a new spell.”

I leaned forward looking at the book, slightly reading some of the words. “but that’s just the basics on the complexities on magical field manipulation, and how the body absorbs the natural magic that flows off the world itself to refill the magic reserves…which most is absorbed by unicorns and alicorns, since they can manipulate magic through their horns into spells and tricks.”

“knowing the basics is important, and it’s always good to review the basics.” She looked at me and smiled.

“very true, but that’s after a time, not…in a few days, you were reading this the last time I caught you on a late night study session.” I felt a pressure against my shoulder and looked over to see Twilight straining to keep her eyes open, and laying her head against my shoulder, which just made me smile a bit. “maybe you should go back to bed, you still seem tired.”

I looked at the book as I heard her silently yawn. “no, I’m fine right here….I just feel so relaxed when I have a book in front of me….”

“is it the book? Or…is it me?” I smirked at her as she looked at me looking like she was on the verge of falling asleep.

She just looked at me and blinked, before she started blushing and sat up looking at the book. “s-sorry, I didn’t know I was leaning against you...maybe I am still a little tired…”

I helped her back to bed, and then went into my room to lie down. As I was lying in the bed, I started thinking about the girls, and everything that has happened. I soon fell asleep, in the silent and dark room that I have stayed in for almost a month now.

It is almost 3 in the evening, and I’m just sitting on the couch reading a book, the first of the ‘Daring Do’ series. It is very much like Indiana Jones, but add Dash’s personality into the mix, and some kind of…thing…from the description of this ‘Ahuizotl’ he seems like a monkey like creature with some canine like features added in, as well as being able to talk, and commanded a bunch of lions, panthers, tigers, and other ‘huge cat’ predators.

I looked up to see spike encouraging Twilight to try the spell, which I saw her focus and strain as she focused on the spell. This got boring to me about 4 hours ago, when she was poofing up random items from her and my room, one I had to jump out and catch, which also got spikes attention. I have had my phoenix sitting next to me since then so I can make sure she didn’t break it. Spike asked about the cracks, and I explained that it is just getting close to hatching, but the chick inside must be too weak to break out still.

I saw a glow form at spike nose, which confused me, but then a mustache appeared on him. I just dropped the book as it made a loud thud making Twilight jump slightly and look at me, which I had started laughing, and fell off the couch. After I calmed down I saw spike admiring it in the mirror, which I slammed a hoof to my mouth, and ran out of the library to get some air and calm down. After a minute I let out a breath and looked out to see two mares walking, while one looked at me as they talked, and they both looked at me and giggled. I noticed the cream colored mare was a unicorn, and the dark blue was a pegasus. I just smiled and waved to them as they waved back and rushed off giggling again.

Huh…am I considered to look handsome? Well, I HAVE been training a lot, so I’m sure I’m not fat anymore…in fact I’m certain if I was to become a human again, I would probably have a nice toned body, and some muscle now, yet not big muscle, just the slim body muscle, like you see hardcore free-runners get. Just thinking about how I may be getting looks from mares, made me think on my past love life…I felt a pain in my chest, which made my ears lay back, and I just head inside the library and up the stairs. On my way I noticed Spike's mustache was gone, and he was missing it. No idea why, it was hilariously ugly on him.

I could just feel Twilight’s worries for me as I went up the stairs, and into my room. I slipped a hoof under my bed intending to pull out a small lockbox, but I pulled out that strongbox I had thrown into the forest days ago, but I didn’t care anymore. I saw the key in its keyhole on the top of the strongbox, and opened it to see the contents from the now missing lockbox in it. A bunch of felt pouches filled with bits. I really need some time alone…and to finally buy a guitar.

I tried to tell Celestia, that she didn’t need to send me so many bits, since what she sends Twilight was enough for all of us, and even some for us to go and eat at a restraunt, or some other kind of entertainment, but she insisted. Why was she so adamant on this subject? Oh well…

I got my saddlebag, to put my iPhone, its little portable speaker set, and a couple of those pouches in, and I headed out of the library telling Twilight and Spike I was gonna go out for a while. When Spike asked if I was ok, I just told him ‘I just need to think…’ I walked into a small shop that had music and instruments in it and looked at the guitars hanging up.

I found an electric/acoustic guitar that was black, with dark blue flames. I looked over to a grayish brown earth pony mare. “how much for this guitar?” I gestured to the one I was looking at.

She looked up at me from a book, which seemed to have some sheet music in it. “oh, uhh, one second sir.” She poked her head past a small red curtain, and heard her talking to somepony in the back. By her tone, and how she looked, she knew more on the classical stuff in the store, like the violins, Cellos, and wind instruments, so my guess is the one who knows the rockers instruments and DJing equipment must be in the back.

After about a minute I saw a white unicorn mare wearing purple tinted shades, head over. “I heard we had a pegasus looking at a guitar. I’m guessing that’s you, right?”

I nodded and gestured to the guitar with the flame design. “how much is that one?”

“ah, you a rocker then? Not many are in this town. Sure they like the music, and the songs, but not many PLAY in this town.” She looked at me in interest.

But I could feel that behind those shades, she was probably checking me out. “I…dabble…it’s been some time since I played, but I want to get back into playing again.”

“cool, maybe you could play something real quick? I wanna see what you can do.” She just had a smirk that said ‘I don’t think you can REALLY play’.

I just gave a smirk that said ‘Challenge Accepted’ right back at her. “all right then, but I choose the song.”

She used her magic and pulled me into the back behind the curtain leaving the earth pony mare looking confused and flabbergasted at the same time.

She set up a guitar to an amp, as she plugged it in and set it up to a loud level, quickly heading back to the curtain and telling her coworker something before she came back in making her horn glow, which gave the whole room the same glow for a few moments. She then layed on the couch gesturing for me to start.

I set the guitar on me in a comfortable fashion and started tuning it, which made her smile a bit. After I finished tuning it, I pulled out my phone and the portable speaker system as I used my cords to connect it to a nearby stereo system for better sound, and volume. I set my phone in the space for it, and started scrolling through my songs looking for a good one to play.

I decided on a song and played the guitar to it as i sang the song as well.

I finished the song and looked at the unicorn, seeing her mouth open in shock, which made me smirk at her. “I said I played…I might have hit a wrong note or two…” I looked at the guitar and tilted my head, looking at the cord. “or the connection is worn…mine got a little dent in it, and it occasionally warped a note or two…that was the last time I played because when I removed it, I got a big shock. Electricity visibly arched out and gave me a decent burn.”

“ouch, I got shocked setting up my DJ table at the club before, no burn though, but it stung. Luckily they had a salve, and I DJ’d without a care that night.” She laughed, and then looked at me. “hmmm…for you…that guitar is yours for 50 bits. And maybe you could play at the club sometime.” She grinned at me, maybe hoping I will say yes.

I just shrugged. “maybe, I usually only have sad or depressing songs…” we left the back room talking. She told the earth pony mare, who she called ‘Tavi’ about the 50 bits for the price, which I pulled out a pouch that had ‘50’ on it.
‘Tavi’ quickly counted it and smiled thanking me as my guitar floated to me in the unicorn’s magical aura. “my name is Vinyl Scratch by the way, and that there…” she pointed to ‘Tavi’ “is my best friend, Octavia Melody. I’m into the rock, and dubstep, while she is into the classical, and…” she yawned. “ugh, just thinking of it makes me tired….”

I just chuckled at that. “You should hear some songs that have the two styles of rock, and classic meld together just perfectly. I’ll try to find one and I will let you two hear it. It will create a bridge for the both of you, and might inspire you two to make songs together, if Octavia plays that is.”

I heard Octavia clear her throat which made me look at her. “I do play. In fact I play the Cello.”

I nodded in a respectful manner to her. “a grand instrument. it fits you.”

I left the small music shop, and sighed in relief as I got to calm myself with that song, so I decided to head back to the library. When I got there I saw Spike and Twilight heading out.

Twilight noticed me and smiled. She could probably tell I felt better. “hey Blaze, me and Spike were gonna go on a little walk, want to join us?”

“sure, let me just get this stuff put up and I will be right out.” I headed into the library and up to my room putting everything up, and set the guitar against the nightstand.

After making sure, it wouldn’t fall, I headed back outside to Twilight and Spike, and we set off through town. Not long after we saw what looked like a carriage with a stage connected to it, which we walked up to, and saw Dash, Rarity, and AJ.

Not long, I saw a light blue pony wearing a cape, and a witch’s hat, with a small dot design on purple fabric to look like space. She started saying how she was the best magic user, and defeated something called an ‘Ursa Major’. She called for other to challenge her, which AJ took on first, and did some tricks with a lasso. Expected something like that, but then this ‘Trixie’ used AJ’s rope to tie her up, and shove an apple in her mouth with her magic.

I saw AJ hop off, and I ran over to help her, as I popped the apple out from her mouth, and started chewing the rope. Next thing I knew, I saw Dash fly off through some clouds, and back bringing rain stored in the clouds behind her creating a rainbow above her. That was pretty cool, but the rainbow then became a small tornado around Dash sending her off the stage.

I was tempted to jump up there but Rarity, had her mane be called a ‘rat’s nest’ which got her mad. She jumped up there, and used the stages curtain to make a slightly elegant dress on her, and Trixie…she changed Rarity’s hair…to a mossy looking green…I looked over to see Twi look really nervous, as ponies suggested her to try. I know she would win easy, but she ran off.

I let Spike climb onto my back and we headed off after Twilight. We found her in the library, reading a book. “Twi, you ok? You kinda just…ran off back there…”

She just sighed and looked back as Spike climbed off my back. “the others were talking about they hated her showing off her magic like that. If I beat her id be doing the same thing, and if they don’t like Trixie doing it, they might stop being my friends if I did that…if I did beat her…”

“Twi, you know they won’t do that…doing things for your friends is not like showing off and boasting about your skills…Trixie does it for money, to be noticed. If you took her down a peg, knocked her off her high throne, you aren’t doing it to take her spot, you are doing it for your friends, which there is nothing wrong with that…” I walked over and sat next to her placing a hoof on her shoulder. “I know you could beat her easily…”

She just sighed, and looked at me. “I already said no, I don’t want to risk it…”

I took my hoof off her shoulder and nodded, as Spike left the library looking annoyed. “I’m gonna check on Spike…and don’t worry, I don’t want to force you to do anything. Everything will be ok Twi.” I headed for the door, and looked back to see her smiling a bit, which made me feel relieved. I left the library closing the door and walked off looking for Spike.

I saw the colts that defended Trixie run by, and Spike was close behind them, I felt my ear flick, and I tensed up, not wanting to look ahead of me, but I forced myself to turn around. I saw a giant ursine shape, which I could pretty well see through, almost like it was a blue veil, with white dots in it. What is with the space look? The giant, blue bear roared in my face making me slide back a bit…give me a chair, a table, and a glass of wine…I could mimic that giant stereo making the glass of wine slide into my grip thing happen…

‘Ok brain, enough joking, we need to RUN AWAY!!!!’

I quickly turned around and bolted down the street, but then a thought hit me. I am leading it to a populated area…I have to change that. I quickly jumped and extended my wings to do a half arch grabbing a few apples off a tree. So, when I was over the Ursa, I spun and dropped the apples on its head, making it turn towards me and chase me again, but AWAY from Ponyville. That’s better, but what next?

I felt something clamp on me from both sides for a moment and saw total darkness except a few specs of light. I wiggled for the closest one and slipped my head out to see blue, giant bear claws…I over think too much…I kept trying to wiggle out. If I was able to slip out enough to pop my head out, maybe I can get free.

After a little time I got free, and heard a growl above me. I looked up to see the Ursa looking at me. I jumped off to start flying, and my ear twitched, as I spun myself, barely avoiding its paw. I quickly landed into a run and slid to a stop seeing I was in Ponyville.

Oh, great, I got turned around…when I looked back I saw Ursa inch closer to me. I can’t even focus to move my legs, I was just petrified, and I couldn’t run forever. I saw it raise its paw high up, and I just shut my eyes tightly lowering my head, until I heard some melody within a pretty strong gust that came from nowhere. I felt myself calm down, and looked up after I got control of my body, and saw Twilight levitating the Ursa, with…isn’t that the water tower? The Ursa was drinking from it like a baby, while it was cradled in Twilight’s magic.

After about a minute Twilight almost collapsed, but I hurried over and held her up. “I got you Twi. Just relax…” I had my wing over her to help keep her balanced against me, and saw Dash, and AJ hurry over. After a little bit, Twilight was standing on her own again. I looked over to the colts, who I heard Spike call ‘snips’ and ‘snails’…

I saw Trixie run off, and Twilight gave the colts some mustaches. They look ridiculous, and even Spike has the one from earlier again. The three of us soon headed for the library, and got inside. As soon as we got in, I headed for the couch and collapsed on it. I heard Spike say something in a confused and worried tone about an egg……………wait….

I jumped up to see the phoenix egg was broken at the top and looked around. It has to be around here. I hurried up stairs quickly, and ran into my room to see my cat sitting in the center of the room and looking up. I looked up to see a black bird with a bit of blue on its beak, and some blue coloring at its wings.

I looked at the bird, slowly lifting a hoof. As soon as my hoof was up, it flew down onto it, and just eyed me curiously. After a minute it quickly nicked my hoof, making me flinch, and then it turned its head as it let a few tears drop onto the wound. I saw the blood that had come out of the wound, slip back into the wound, and the wound looked like it was burning with embers, as it closed. Once it closed I had a small burn that looked like 3 lines swirling around, like a tattoo, or a branding.

I looked at the phoenix, and smiled. “I think I’ll call you Cynder.” It flew up and landed on my back as I head downstairs. “well, I have a phoenix now. And I have named him Cynder.”

I notice Spike head over and looked at the phoenix in innocent curiosity. I swear Spike reminds me of a young child, with so much curiosity about the world he doesn’t know about. I looked at Twilight as she giggled at Spikes curiosity. Wow, I have to be tired…Twilight seems so…she just looks so be-

I shook that thought from my head, and yawned, as she looked at me. “maybe we should get to bed, today’s has been rough on us all…” she walked towards the stairs, and it seemed like she was just gonna go past me but she stopped and nuzzled at my neck, which made me tense up, and I felt a heat in my face. “thank you, for helping me stay up after that Ursa incident…” I heard her head up stairs, but stop halfway and I heard her giggle again, which just made me feel dizzy. “good night, Blaze.”

I heard her continue heading up, and her door close. I silently headed into my room, and closed the door to my room, setting the chain lock. Why am I feeling like this? I mean sure, I had weak feelings like this a few times now…I’ve felt like this around Dash, Fluttershy, and Twilight before but it was weak, little things…why is this one so strong?

Whatever these are, I should just ignore them for now, I need to sleep….my exhaustion may just help me feel this in a stronger level….yeah, that’s it, it's just my exhaustion. I headed to a wooden slab that was sticking out from the wall, and Cynder landed on the small perch like piece the jutted out that seemed like a long coat hangar, but wider, to hold up a saddlebag. Since my new saddlebags were downstairs, and had my cutie mark design on it (thanks to Rarity), I could just set it on the one down in the library. I quickly slid into bed, and closed my eyes.
