Angels Born From Fire

After i got my stuff and signed my self out of the hospital we were off and walking down  "So bro you never told me what happened to the helicopter" I heard David say.

I was about to say something but was cut off "What's a helicopter?" Twilight asked.

"well a helicopter is a type of metal vehicle that can fly" David said answering her question.

Twilight went wide eye (like she doesn't do that a lot) "How does it fly?" She asked.

"Well it's not flying anymore" I said killing two birds with one stone (sort of).

"Why, dude what did you do?" David asked.

"well before Twilight stopped me from telling you I was going to tell you that I shot the Pilot and the whole thing flew right at me and hit the ground behind me sending shrapnel right at me hence the reason of the scare on my back. For your question Twilight" I said reaching in my bag for my sketch book. "I think this will explain how it works and what it looked like" I said handing my sketch book to her.

"I'm not sure if this is what it looks like but if it does then your really good at drawing" Twilight complemented "David is this what the helicopter looked like" she said showing David the drawing.

"Yeah that is the one It's called a 'black hawk' they were manly used for carrying soldiers to a battlefield" David said looking over the drawing. "Dude you're better at drawing then I thought and that it sucks that the whole thing basically hit you" David said.

"Yeah if these numbers above these lines are the length and the height than getting hit by this thing must really hurt" Twilight said.

"that and that who is going to watch those kids of yours?" David asked

"Wait Chris Has kids?" Twilight asked

"Their orphans and I don't really see myself as their dad more like a big brother" I said.

"You become a more interesting pony the more I talk to you" Twilight said.

"Hay do any of you know what the date it is?" I ask to the group leading us around town and in front of a tree.

we walk inside and everyone sites on the sofa "It's Wednesday the 18th of December" Rarity said.

"Oh" I said with sorrow in my voice.

"What, is there something wrong?" Fluttershy asked.

"no, not really, I just got to be alone for a while" I said.

"Why do ya need to be alone, are you sure your ok?" Applejack asked concerned.

"I'm fine I just need to be left alone for a while" I said walking away from the group and away from the tree-house and down the street.

Point of view-David

"What's his problem?" Rainbow asked.

"His birthday is coming up" I said as the whole group look at me.

"Why would he be sad about that usually ponies would be happy if their birthday was coming up" Twilight said.

"usually yes but for Chris it is nothing more than sorrow for him" I said.

"Why does his own birthday make him like that" Rarity asked.

"you'd be sad to if your own birthday reminded you of how your family and friends were killed and that all happened when he was 15 so he might not be right in the head" I said. They all stare to where Chris was last seen walking "I can't even imagine how he has kept himself sane all this time" I continued.

"Why has no pony try to help him?" Fluttershy said before she started to cry at the idea of people dying.

I walk over to her and put my hand on her shoulder "We have tried to help him in the past but he always got angry when we tried."

"Why would he be upset with ponies that are just trying ta help him?" Applejack asked.

"He isn't angry at the people who want to help him he gets that way when people pity him, he say's he feels week and helpless when they do, he also says that no one can really help him anyways" David said.

"I think I understand know" Twilight said.

"I think I know what will cheer him up" A unfamiliar voice said.

I look around for the voice "Who said that?" I asked.

I turn around to be met with a female. She had pink hair and was wearing a pink T-shirt with 3 balloons on it and she was wearing blue jeans with white tennis shoes "Hellomynameispinkiepiewhat'syournamewhatareyouwhereareyoufrom-" She was cut off by a hand covering her mouth.

"Pinkie darling it's rude to just go up to somepony and just start asking random questions" Rarity said.

"Oops sorry" Pinkie apologized.

"Hello my name is David and you are?" I ask her for a name.

"Oh I'm pinkie pie I work at sugar cube corner" Pinkie said telling me her name and where she worked.

"Ok and you said you think you can cheer up my friend I'm open to ideas" I told pinkie hoping she knew a way to cheer up my friend.

"We throw him a party" Pinkie suggested.

I deadpan "I hope you know that may cause mental damage to him" I told pinkie seriously disappointed in her.

"Why" pinkie asked.

"Bad memories from his birthday party at the age of 15 may cause him to break down" I told her.

"Oh come on how bad can throwing him a party be" Pinkie said not knowing anything of what I just said about his party when he was 15.

"One of you tell her how bad his party went" I said looking at the girls.

"Um Pinkie Chris had a really bad birthday like insanely bad" Fluttershy said.

"Oh come on I know some parties can go bad if someone does something stupid but his birthday party couldn't have gone that bad" Pinkie said starting to get really confused why Fluttershy was starting to crying again.

"sugar cube Chris lost a lot of ponies he knew on his birthday" Applejack told pinkie who was starting to frown.

After thinking for 10 to 20 minutes I gave up. "Screw it I know Chris well enough if he saw us acting like this he would tell us to reenact the party just so we would leave it alone" I told them.

"Are you saying we should throw him a party what if his memory comes back in full detail and he looses what sanity he has left" Twilight said.

"I know what I said but sometimes you need to destroy something so rebuild it just like what happened 5 years ago" I told them looking out the window.

"I guess your right but what if this does not work and it just makes it worse?" Fluttershy asked.

"Chris has had a lot happen to him I don't think a party is enough to break him to the point of no return. put him to the edge sure but not break him" I assured her.

"Wait did you say 5 years ago?" Rainbow asked.

"Yeah?" I said wondering what she was getting at.

"And he was 15 when all this started?" Rainbow asked

"Yeah what about it?" Still wondering what she was trying to say.

"I thought he was 17 or 18 or something but he's actually 20 that means he will be 21 and that means that we can drink at the party" Rainbow said getting excited.

I sigh deeply "What now?" Applejack asked.

"Nothing I just hope this was a good idea" I said.

"Where did Chris go anyway I know he walked off but to where?" Twilight asked.

"Let's check outside of town" I told the group as I get up and walk to the door and open it "And we should hurry it's almost dark" I said as I walk out the door to look for Chris.

Point of view-Chris

5 minutes after I left the group and went to walk around on my own I found this hill with a tree on it and started to listen to some music on my phone.(don't say how would he be able if their is not power in an apocalypse there is still solar panels and hydro plants and wind turbines)

After listing to some music for about an hour until I see a shadow go over me "hello mister could we use this spot for a moment" I look to where the voice came from to see a woman she had hair blond and grey fur and wings with a grey T-shirt that had light grey circles on it and she was wearing black jeans with black sneakers but what really stood out was her eyes they were gold and one was looking in a different direction than the other. She also had a kid with her hair was two shades of blond and near her hair was a light purple horn and the rest of her body was the same light purple.

"um sure I was probably up here to long any way" I said getting up and put my earbuds and phone back in my bag started to leave when the small one walks up to me.

"Mister what are those?" she asks while pointing at my guns.

I look at her thinking of something to say. I get on one knee to become eye level with her "Hopefully something you'll never have to touch" I told her.

I grab my chest out of pain "Mister are you ok?" the woman asked concerned.

I look around knowing this feeling way to well "This just happens randomly no idea why though" I lied. "Well I hope you have a good evening" I said starting to walk down the hill still looking around without moving my head.

I was not even half way down the hill before "Wait mister where are you from I have never seen you or anything that looks like you around town before" I heard her say.

"I'm new here I just got her today so it's no wonder you never seen me" I told her.

"I never even saw you enter town though" she said.

"how would you know if I entered town or not?" I asked narrowing my eyes.

"Well I deliver the mail so i'm all over town so I thought that if you got here today I would have at lest seen you once today" She said defending her self.

"Well the reason you never saw me is because I just got out of the hospital" I said instantly regretting it.

"What happen to you to put you in the hospital?" she asked.

"Nothing to bad plus you shouldn't really worry about me from the looks of it you came here to have a picnic and I can see she is hungry" I said looking at the small one standing right next to her.

"Yeah we are" she said and smiled at her kid next to her.

I was about to turn and leave when I saw something raise behind from the woman and aim right for her back I start to sprint towards her "Look out!" I yell. I finally get in front of her and shove her out of the way just in time to get stabbed in the chest with a stinger?. with the last of my strength I pull my pistol out and shoot the thing, which looked like a loin with a scorpion tail, right in the face.

After the thing lay dead I pull my self off the stinger by falling back. I hear the woman from before calling out to me and I open my eyes to see that she is crying and just like that it all went dark once again.
