Early Arrival

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

After a couple of dreams about being a heroic space ninja. Something moved next to the little hybrid enough to tell her something was in bed with her. She slowly opened her eyes to the dark room. The orange glow of her eyes illuminated a couple of inches in front of her snout. She looked behind her to see Wolfy curled at her back hooves sleeping soundly. Laying in the curl of the space dog was Sweetie Belle sound asleep Her head was on Wolfy's hip, and her ear flicked every couple seconds as she slept. Bloom smiled at her friend who probably stayed the night because she was worried about her. Feeling a yawn coming she turned back and drifted back to sleep.

The morning sun pulled Bloom out of sleep once more. Before she opened her eyes, she noticed a kubrow sized warm lump in her back and a smaller one to her front. She opened her eyes to be snout to snout with Sweetie Belle who had migrated from Wolfy to Bloom somehow during the night. The unicorn was still asleep, and Bloom laid there a bit stunned. She saw her eyes cast orange light on the white fillies face as they flared. Sweetie stirred at the light and Bloom's face scrunched up as the white unicorn opened her green eyes.

Sweetie saw Bloom's void eyes swirl and sparkle. Sweetie's pupils expanded seeing the orange galaxy's.

"So Pretty."

Bloom turned red and covered her eyes with her claws. Sweetie snapped awake realizing what she had just said and rolled over. As she turned a similar shade of red, Bloom felt a long flat tongue go over her mane from behind telling her that Wolfy was the one behind her. Also telling her that Chroma wasn't on her back she sat up and looked around before calling out mentally to the pelt.

"Just letting Winona out." Chroma reassured, and Bloom nodded

"Thanks. Let's get this day started."

"Meet you in the bathroom?" The pelt offered and they nodded in unison. Bloom stood up wiggled her tail a bit before front flipping off the bed and landing on her back legs gracefully. Wolfy barked his applause and Bloom did a bow. Then took off to the bathroom when she got there Chroma was already getting the bath ready. Bloom brushed her teeth taking extra care of the new canines she had. Then jumped in the two made quick work of the initial cleaning. She had to take the brush to clean out all the gunpowder and iron on Chroma's hood.

There was a little knock announcing Sweetie Belle at the door.

"Hey, Bloom?"

"Ya?"

"Where is your mane brush and can I use it?" Sweetie asked, and Chroma/Bloom looked over to see the brush on the sink.

"Ya it's in here it's ok to come in."

With the permission given the door swung open, and Wolfy trotted in with Sweetie laying on his back. She waved lazily at the two and got the brush. Both Bloom and Chroma gave disproving looks at the fillies lazy use of the space dog. But Sweetie paid them no head as she lightly patted the dog's hindquarters. Wolfy panted happily tongue out as he reversed out of the room and Sweetie closed the door in her magic. Bloom shook her head, and they finished getting cleaned up. After running a few claw strikes through her mane, they made their way downstairs.

Granny was at the table with Rarity, and Bloom overheard their conversation as she came down.

"Applejacks in the fields already this is early even by her standards." Rarity's posh voice said concerned. Bloom stopped to listen; She heard Granny sigh.

"I fear she's still not sure about Bloom," Granny admitted, and Bloom's chest tightened.

"Really now? but what alternatives would that mean?" Rarity sounded taken back.

"I don't know deary... But what I do know is every one of those Tenno folk have told us nothing but the honest truth about Bloom. Even if it hurt to listen to whether they're the plum best at lying, I don't know. But so far they've been good to us and good to the farm." Granny reasoned

"I've heard some of their stories gruesome and violent tales I truly hope we never see how much "war" these warframes can bring." Rarity paused for a moment "Do you think they'll drag poor Bloom away again?" She asked, and Bloom felt a little cold knowing that she was already training to do just that.

"That dragon gave himself to save her, But in doing so merely passed a torch. But if I know my Bloom she'll fight, and she'll give them hell, and I'll be proud of her."
Bloom couldn't hold back the tears that welled in her eyes at her Grannies praise. "I think I've sung your praise enough youngin come on down." She urged, and Bloom came running jumping the last bit of stairs. She stopped short of her granny her eyes sparkling, and Granny Smith smiled at her. "Come here you'll always be my youngin." Bloom darted into the hug. But right before contact Chroma detached. Letting them hug, as he floated a bit awkwardly just off to the side.

Bloom looked at her arm then to the hide. "Whats wrong?"

Chroma fiddled with his claws "I didn't want to get in the way of the moment." he admitted sounding unsure.

But Bloom smiled at him "We're together, that means we get comforting hugs from Granny together too." She reached her hoof out, and Chroma looked at it then to Granny. She nodded approvingly, and he floated closer both ponies pulled him into hug full force. Rarity Dabbed at her eye touched by the moment. Sweetie came down the steps yawning but on her hooves at least. Wolfy followed happily behind. He saw Bloom and barked trotting up with and running his tongue over the back of her head. Getting a giggle from Bloom.

The three pulled apart and Bloom reconnected with Chroma noticing the pain from reconnecting was now a tolerable pinch. Granny opened a can, and Wolfy's ears perked up, and he looked at the elder apple with unconditional love. Winona came running through the dog flap to sit near her bowl. Bloom watched both dogs wondering how they would get along. Wolfy studied Winona for a second then sat mimicking the smaller dog panting in time. Granny scratched both dogs on the head and poured out two cans of dog food which they happily chowed down.

Granny looked at Bloom mischief in her eye. " Don't let Fluttershy see'em, that girl will be on him like a tick." Bloom laughed, and Rarity snickered, but Granny wasn't done. "But hell dip a squirrel in shit, and she'd still adore the thing." Bloom had to cover her mouth not to spit out the apple she was eating because she was laughing too hard. While Rarity tried to hold back her own laughter to a ladylike degree but snorted anyways,

"Granny that so crass of you." She lightly scoffed, but Granny didn't miss a beat.

"Ain't if it's true deary."

Rarity could only lean her head and try not outright agree. So she levitated a pair of saddlebags to her sister. "Please next time you have an impromptu sleepover inform me and be prepared." Sweetie let out something like "ok Sis" through a mouthful of apple that had Rarity grimace. "And don't talk with your mouth full!"

Soon after Bloom, Sweetie, and Wolfy started out the door. Before Ordis could pop us, she silenced him with a hoof. "Not today, Ordis we'll walk It's ok." Ordis seemed confused and lost then nodded and blinked away.

Sweetie gave her a look. "What was that about?"

Bloom rubbed the back of her neck. "ya remember yesterday when-" Wolfy growled, and the hair on her neck stood up straight. Bloom jumped back mid-sentence as three throwing star hit the ground where she had been making Sweetie squeak and fall backward. Bloom stood drawing her Dakra from their hidden spot on her hips. She scanned the area, Something big was moving tree to tree. Another warframe? She wondered until glint in the sun warned her of more stars. She knocked them away with her dual swords.

"Good your senses are not as dim as I feared young on." The clear voice boomed like a river. That's when the Master of the Conclave jumped down from on high. Teshin! Bloom felt a cold sweat go between her and Chroma. He put a hand on the glowing molten sheaths of his dual Nikanna.

"I have seen these apple tree's you spoke so highly of." In one fluid motion almost like he was in slow-mo, he shifted his foot back and drew the silver sword.

"Now prove your roots are just as strong!"
