Blast From The Past

"Red, wake up!" I slowly open my eyes to see a fuzzy blob of cream white and chocolate brown.

"M-Mocha..?"

"Hi~!" She smiles widely, her dark green eyes become super wide.

"How did you-"

"Get in the cottage? Did you forget? Your mom gave me an extra key!" She jumps up and down on my bed with this weird aura of excitement.

"Can you not?" This, most over used, saying slips through my lips as I stare at the bright mare groggily. In which she looks over at me and steps to the side of my bed,

"Sorry~!" She smirks apologetically. I sigh and put my hoof to my face, as it falls back down to my side and I slowly get out of my bed, stretching my wings slowly.

"Either way, what do you need..?" I yawn and my long messy streaks of sandy blonde get in my eyes a bit.

"Ooohh, yeah, so you're sleeping in and I didn't think you wanted to walk into Miss Cherlie's class-"

"I'M LATE?! WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY THIS EARLIER!!" I quickly start galloping around my room, rushing to find my satchel. Suddenly, the hoof sewn fabric satchel floats in front of me with a light green sparkly cloud around it,

"Is this it?" Mocha giggles and I sigh in relief.

"Yes! Thank you.." I grab it and put it around me. I look over at my friend and shift my head towards the door. She nods with a nervous smile and follows me down the steps. But to my demise, my mother, Cotton Note, is still home. "H-Hey ma.."

"Oooohhh, Little Melody decided to sleep in?" She looks down at me with a slightly disappointed look, I slowly make my eye contact with the dark wooden flooring. She sighs and starts to laugh,

"Don't act so ashamed Red, Mocha already made me aware of the whole situation." My eyes widen and slowly squint as I look over at Mocha who waves her hoof and giggles nervously. I huff and then, suddenly, my mom gasps, "You are not going out like that! If you're going to be late, you're going to be fashionably late!"

"No!!" I try to gallop away but I suddenly get pulled into the air, with a dark green almost dark blue sparkly cloud of magic, towards her. "Put me down!!" I struggle with more effort than usual but nothing works. She slowly lowers me to ground and in just a few seconds my mane was put into a braid that curls by the side and to the front of my velvet red body. The ends of my mane naturally dyed sky blue, the colors swirl together with in the braid and the blue is the only mane color I can see for my bangs.

"Awweee, you look so cute~" I slightly blow the bangs out of my eyes and Mocha perks up,

"Red thanks you very much for the hair style but we really must head out Ms. Note~" Mocha winks at me as I nod in agreement with everything she's saying.

"Well have fun you two, and don't come home after dusk. Love you sweetie." She kisses my head and pushes me off with her giant orchid pink wing.

"Love you too, bye ma! Come on Mocha!" I start to gallop out the door and she quickly follows.

We arrive at the school and slowly push open the door. The whole classroom becomes quite and the teacher doesn't look too happy.

"Well students, looks like RedVelvet Melody and Vanilla Mocha decided to finally show up to class." She squints at us and marks down something on her note board and goes back to teaching. We quickly make our way to the back where our empty seats are between all of our friends. There's Galaxy Nebula, the seat where I sit, Fallout, Scythea ( but we usually just call him Icy ), and then Mocha is at the end ( from left to right ). I take my seat and Galaxy looks like he's trying to hold back uncontrollable laughter, I squint at him and whisper,

"What's so funny?" He holds back the sounds of his laughs,

"Teach is so mad at y'all~" I roll my eyes and look over at Fallout who frantically looks at something else and brakes his stare at me, I giggle and his cheeks turn beet red.

The bell rings and echoes throughout the playground area as the door swings open and happy young mares and colts trot out talking to their fellow peers. While me and my group make our way to my big sister's first talent concert. She's so cool and so good at her djing, she puts the great Skrill X DJ to shame.

"So Red, isn't Vinyl teaming up with this Octavia mare that's a cellist?" Mocha asks in an intrigued manor.

"Oh Octy, yeah! They're amazing together, Vinyl told me that after this event, they're gonna go get they're own cottage and help each other with a music company thing....just wish I was that good.." I sigh concerned, but then suddenly, Fallout finally speaks up,

"W-Well, if anything Mel, I think y-you're a great m-musician.." I look over at him with a light smile as he smiles back with a blush still painted on his face.

"Thanks Fallout...but what's the use? My first name is a type of cake and I haven't even got a clue what my cutie mark could be.." My eyes focus down on a white cream spot where my cutie mark should be.

"Well then maybe you'll be a singing chef!" Icy gallops up in front of me, strutting his golden wings and horn. I laugh,

"At least you can have high hopes! Your an alicorn! The best of the best!" He sticks out his tongue and slows down so he can walk by Mocha,

"You only say that because of your mom." Regretting my stereotyping, I shut my mouth and keep walking until we make it to the talent arena. As we walk in we make a V-line to the backstage area as I spot my sister,

"Vinyl!!" I gallop over to her and hug her, she smiles and hugs me back. She doesn't really speak much at all but, I know she was saying hello, just by the way she looked at me.

"Oh, am I not good enough for one?" Octavia pouts,

"Oops!" I turn around and hug her and a smile slowly appears as she grabs my cheeks and coos,

"You're getting so big and your eyes are like the Caribbean blue~" Octavia looks over at Vinyl and turns my face to look at my sister, "Don't you agree Vinyl?" Vinyl lightly nods and goes back to listening to her practice runs. Octavia lets me go as she goes and coos over all my other friends, even if she didn't know the pony. A random colt comes running to Vinyl with a heavily edited picture of her at the turn tables. A charcoal mane and blood red eyes, he was filled with excitement and nervousness.

"W-Will you s-sign m-my picture, please~?" She smiles and signs her name with her cutie mark at the end. Vinyl grabs me and messes up my mane a little bit,

"Oi! Ma did that for me earlier today!" She looks like she's about to laugh and the colt looks dumbfounded.

"You're THE VINYL SCRATCH'S sister?!" I look over at him and wink,

"You got it." Mocha trots over and smiles.

"Your name is Valerium, right?" His eyes widen and a light blush can barely be seen.

"Y-Yeah, how did you-"

"Know? You're in class with the rest of us, don't you ever pay attention?" He shakes his head nervously and Mocha puts out her hoof, "Vanilla Mocha, coffee mare." Valerium puts out his hoof to hers and shakes it softly,

"Valerium, vampire colt." He smiles and his fangs are fairly visible. Mocha gets excited and starts asking him a load of questions. I turn around to talk to Galaxy but he's fawning over a bright purple filly with light blonde hair. The stage manager calls Octavia and Vinyl to go on stage, I wish them luck, and pull every pony with me into the crowd. The stage gets foggy and the first string is played gently

~ Lots of Love | Red ~

An Unexpected Surprise

"Mel..Mel wake up.." Some pony shakes me with their hoof and I slowly open my eyes and yawn.

"Hmm.." I slowly turn over and my eyes start to focus on my fillyhood friend Mocha, she smells strongly of the fresh cut coffee beans that are grounded all morning. "What's wrong now..?"

"There's a surprise for you down stairs if you care to wake." She huffs and swivels her head so her mane's bangs move back to its side. She walks out and closes my room door with a slight slam. I lightly shake my head and roll out of bed. I stretch my wings, my velvet feather like wing parts spread as if I was to take flight. I walk to my mirror, large parts of my mane part out in an uncomfortable manor, my eyes slightly glassed over from the morning rays of gold.
I tame my mane with my hooves and rub my eyes, "Wonder what it could be.." I make my way to the door and slowly trot down the creaking steps of the cottage I now call home. As I walk to the main floor I get tackled by an very excited colt,

"RED!!" The brownish colt with an chocolate mane smiles down excitedly at me with his dark blue eyes,

"D-Doctor?"

"Yes, it's me! I'm back from my many adventures through time, and you'll never believe what I got for you!!" He gets off of me and helps me up, his British accent becomes slightly ruff with his giddiness as he turns around and starts going through his black clothed satchel. "Aha!" He pulls out a little black cap and I smile so widely.

"You found one!"

"But watch this!" He pulls out an off white bunny with pure black eyes and it jumps to me and lays under my long mane.

"A..a bunny..?"

"Yes, he even has his own cap." The bunny pulls out the cap and puts it on his tiny head, making his ears droop down so it fits.

"Does he have a name?"

"No, I left it for you to decide." I look at the bunny and go into a long thought process, I suddenly look up,

"I got it! Jack." Doctor smiles and I get a good whiff of the freshly made delights Mocha makes for a living. "Would you like a coffee?" He nods and we make our way too an empty table, Mocha smirks and levitates two muffins and two coffees. "Thank you Mocha.."

"You're welcome Melody." I move my bangs out of my face and take a small bite out of my muffin. Jack jumps up to the table and breaks off a piece of my muffin and slowly nibbles in the chocolate muffin part. The Doctor takes a sip of his coffee and sigh happily,

"So what have you been up to? What's happened to every pony?" I sigh reluctantly and come to my senses,

"Well..I've been fine..I suppose.. Vinyl and Octavia are still rocking the beats, just like their meant to. My ma was called to be an advisor for some high rank at the castle next to the princesses-" The Doctor's eyes widen in a surprising way,

"Great wickering stallions! She's working with Princess Twilight then!" I look at him oddly and slowly nod my head,

"Well yeahhhhh, she's their advisor." He looks as if he could sequel but he conceals it and looks at me with excitement for more information, "Hmm....oh, Galaxy and that filly he met at my sister's concert, Crystal. They're married now, have a little one and everything."

"Galaxy...?" The Doctor smirks and mumbles, "The damn stallion.."

"What did you say?"

"Oh nothing Red, continue please~" He puts on a fake nervous smile and I stutter to continue.

"Uh-huh..continuing..um, Vanilla and Valerium got married but it didn't last.." I hesitate to continue but Mocha wasn't paying any attention so I slowly continued, "No soon after me and Icy ended a relationship we had between us-"

"WAIT YOU AND ICY WERE A THING? WAS THERE MARRIAGE INVOLVED?!" He acts a bit pissed off to say the least,

"Yes, and almost.." I look down at my cup and take another sip, The Doctor calms himself down and lowers his tone,

"Who ended it..?"

"I'd rather not say.." The Doctor nods as an understanding, "Like I was saying...Mocha and Icy got into a relationship soon after, the way their going, I'm surprised they wouldn't end up married and happy forever." I smile at the thought and finally look up at the Doctor who seems a bit sad to hear my tone of voice, I start to giggle, "Don't be so concerned, it doesn't matter at this point, I basically gave Mocha my 'blessing' so whatever."
He slightly hesitates to nod his head, "Oh, remember Fallout? He's engaged to Pinkie Pie." The Doctor becomes dumbfounded,

"Seriously?!"

"Seriously." The Doctor starts to laugh,

"I never saw that coming, he always never seemed her type."

"Well love can do crazy things you know, make you either do really dumb thing are really amazing things." I smile in a warm manor and he smiles back,

"Would you like to take a walk with me?" I pause and then laugh nervously,

"Heh, sure let's just finish are breakfast, Mocha worked hard on this you know."

"O-Oh yeah, almost forgot about this wonderful quaint meal." He starts to eat and as I look down to get my muffin, all that remains is the paper wrapping. My eyes widen and I look over at Jack who was laying on his back with a full belly. I snicker and drink the rest of my coffee.

"Ready to go Red?" The Doctor says this somewhat impatiently,

"Yeah! Just hold on!" I scramble to put Jack in my room in the bed and put on the black cap the Doctor gifted me. I kiss Jack's head and gallop down the steps and out the door. "I'm here!" He starts to laugh,

"Yes you are." We both smile and we walk down an nicely kept up path by a lake. As we trot along we laugh and just talk and talk about his many adventures. He made me yearn for such a dangerous but intelligent adventure.
"And then, my tardis started to take flight without me. I don't think I've ever ran that fast in my life. Not to mention when I got in there, your bunny was trying to control the tardis. So with that, I decided to come home and see my favorite somepony." Snickering I huff and say,

"Derpy right?" The Doctor stops and starts laughing,

"No, its you Red. Derpy is special but not my special somepony." I pause and look at him with a light blush painter on my cheeks,

"W-What? Why me?" He approaches me slowly and lightly smiles,

"Because we're school buds, and you mean something more to me than Derpy does.." My blush becomes deeper to almost the shade of my body and the Doctor slowly leans in and kisses me. I couldn't decide if I should pull away or stay but by the time I made a decision he was done and slowly pulled away. To my surprise he was blushing like crazy too,

"Heh.." I look down at my hooves and play with the dirt path nervously. Suddenly, a hoof lifts my head and I'm met with a warm hug.

The Gathering

A light knocking echoes through out my room and a fuzzy ball of fur rubs against my head.

"Jack..no.." He keeps bugging me till I wake up and I look at him, he's gnawing on a baby carrot. I roll my eyes, the knocking slowly gets louder and in an annoyed tone I slightly yell, "What?!" The knocking stops and it creaks open,

"S-Sorry.." My eyes widen and I quickly get out of bed and open the door,

"Fallout..?" He smiles nervously as his yellow stripe of hair shows brighter than it use to. I smile and give him a huge hug. "What are you doing here?! I thought you and Pinkie were going to that baking convention?"

"W-Well I convinced her to go without me, so because I did that, I have free time."

"Ooohh, cool! Here, just um...just hold on a sec." I wave my hoof and quietly close the door. Trotting as quietly but as fast as possible, I brush my mane out and put on my cap.

"I was also wondering if you'd like to catch up, maybe go meet every pony else? Like the old days?" Though his voice was muffled I clearly understood every word.

"Sounds good.." I hear creaking of steps and his voice no more. I put my satchel on me and put Jack in it. His eyes look at me with confusion as I put my hair in a ponytail. I gently open the door and take in the whiff of completely freshly grounded coffee beans and the smell of muffins. I trot down into the main area with ease. Mocha turns and looks at me with excitement,

"I'm gonna go get Icy real quick!" She gallops past me and I look at Fallout with confusion.

"I invited her to come with us."

"Ooh yeah, let me get some pony okay? I'll be right back, stay here!" I drop my satchel gently so I don't hurt Jack and I gallop out into the bustling village of PonyVille. I make my way to a dark blue cottage and knock intently, "Doc??" I suddenly hear windows open and an all too familiar voice,

"Great wickering stallions! Red, you're just in time! Just come in!" The windows quickly shut and the door flies open to a messy maned colt with goggles on his head and an sonic screwdriver behind his right ear. He quickly grabs me and takes me to his lab where colorful looking flowers lay piled and beakers of strange substances lay around carelessly, "My newest invention is one I think you'll enjoy!~" He grabs a colorful square flower and hands it to me,

"A flower..?"

"Not just any flower!" He politely grabs the flower from my hoof and throws it in the air but nothing happens, I lightly giggle nudge him,

"So what is it then..?" He sighs and blushes a bit,

"Their fireworks, but I don't know what sets them off. I would just ask Twilight but you know how that type of thing went with Trixie.." I nod and smile,

"Well if it's anything, even if they don't explode, they're still a wonderful creation." I nuzzle him and he smiles. I suddenly remember why I even came over to his majestic cottage. "Okay so the gang is gonna get back together and I was wondering if you wanted to go with me?"

"The gang?" He looks very puzzled, like he's trying to figure out how to have the perfect bowling turn.

"Yeah, school mates? The ones we talked about yesterday?" He suddenly lights up like he just figured out this impossible equation.

"Ooh, splendid! I need to look nice for the occasion.." I tilt my head slightly as he rummages through his things,

"You know, you look fine-"

"Aha!" He pops out of the chest and puts on this multi colored scarf.

"Honestly, that's adorable." He takes in a deep breath and says, with a slight yell,

"Alomsy!"

As we walk down to meet the group, I receive old memories of every pony. The days we all laughed and did our work together. When we'd gallop around without a care in the world...how foolish we all were. Little did we know the heartache and struggles of life, making decisions you wish you didn't have to make.. The old Galaxy would be fantasizing over the young Doctor and how he plans to travel the universe and time, Icy would've been staring at Mocha with love eyes until Valerium came back over to Mocha.. Fallout and me would be laughing..

"Red, you okay?" Little did I realize we arrived, Icy was slowly waving his hoof in my face to catch my attention. I slightly jump and every pony stares at me concerned, "You went into deep thought there..maybe too deep."

"Uh....y-yeah, I was just thinking..you know me.." I smile nervously, every pony smiles and goes back to talking, Doctor nudges me gently to see what was up and I nod my head to say I was fine. I walked into the circle with the rest of them and joined in the conversation...or tried..I keep zoning out and thinking long and deeply. Suddenly, I can hear Crystal, Galaxy's wife.

"So, Red, seems like you're the only one without a love life." I blush, and try to bring The Doctor into light,

"He doesn't either!" I pull him right beside me by his scarf, when I let go he catches his breath.

"Well, him and Derpy seem to-"

"No, no, no stop right there. Me and Derpy aren't a thing, we're just friends." Crystal chuckles and everyone else soon joins in with the laughing, excluding me and Doc. Galaxy bursts out,

"That's what they all say!!" The tall colt that always stayed by my side as happy and cheerful looked quite stern and mad. To break this conversation from getting anywhere I say hesitantly,

"Well Fallout doesn't have his wife here." He blushes deeply,

"She's-" All of a sudden a loud sequel is heard and a bright pink bouncy ball tackles Fallout.

"Ssswweeettieee, is this why you didn't wanna go with meee?!" Her head slowly moves up in a creepy manor but her smile stays, oddly. "Sorry to crash the party, but he's mine now...OH NO IVE BECOME A PARTY CRASHER!! THIS IS HORRIBLE BECAUSE PARTIES ARE MY WHOLE LIFE AND IF I DON'T THROW PARTIES NO ONE WILL BE HAPPY AND IF NO ONE IS HAPPY I'LL LOSE MY PRETTY JEWELRY AND THEN-" Fallout quickly sits up and kisses Pinkie, causing her to stop talking and kiss him back. I lightly smile and look at Doctor who's just staring at the ground at this point, suddenly, Galaxy's voice chimes in,

"Take it to y'all's cottage, love birds." Fallout slowly stops and looks at Galaxy.

"Fine..come on Pinkie." She smiles and trots next to him, we all waves our hooves as they leave and slowly we all go back to normal conversation. I keep looking at Doc, hoping that he'd look back and leave with me, not that I didn't want to be there but because I want to be greedy. Selfish for lack of a better word. I just wanted him all to myself, besides, who knows when he'll take off on another adventure. I wanna make the time we have together count.
It's as if we were each other's secrets. No one knew of us, so it was a quiet love. Wait, are we even a thing? We never even went over any of this, we kissed and then never talked about it afterwards. Oh lord it's like Lyra and Special Agent Sweetie Drops no one knows if they're together but they probably don't even consider themselves together-

"So it's a deal. For Halloween, we're gonna go around in any costume we please!" Everypony nods and slowly look at me, to fit in, I nod as well. Mocha continues, "Awesome! See you guys later!" She smirks and pulls Icy along with her, somewhat evilly if you get what I mean. Galaxy and Crystal wave goodbye and sweetly trot together. All that was left of the once large group was me and the Doc.

"Would you like to come back to my cottage..to find out what makes those flower fireworks go off?" I smile brightly, which causes him to blush lightly.

"You know it! Let's go!" I start to gallop, "Last pony to the cottage gets sent to the moon!"

Halloween Special | Part One

"As the glowing sphere of honey slowly goes behind it's layers of forest blankets and the radiant sphere of milk slowly rises, and the way it lets everyone know it's arrival, it sends witches and ghouls out to play with the vampires and zombies. The creatures of the night will soon all stop at one cottage, and at this cottage lived some fillies and young colts. They licked they're mouths with delight, they slowly start to approach the young ones, and then~" the young ones all hold their breath, only looking at me, and then, they get attacked! Not from a witch, ghoul, vampire, or zombie, but Doc dressed as a vampire; Galaxy dressed as a zombie; and Crystal dressed as a witch.
But they didn't know that, they quickly ran under my wings as I extended them and I kept them close. A few were shaking and others were trying to grasp onto braveness to confront the creatures. I smile at them and whisper, "You didn't let me finish them story.." They look up at me with shock and wonder. "As the creatures went in for the easy meal, a brave pony, which all creatures of the night feared, whom has never been named, watched the creatures and stop them from hurting the fillies and young colts in distress!"
They all gaze at me in aw, and then Apple Bloom gets out from under my wing and stands right in front of the three creatures. Which actually surprised me because, well, Apple Bloom wasn't part of the act.

"Get out of' here you creatures! You aren't allowed to hur't my' friends!" She starts to take a charge, and wisely the three fled. The little ones finally came from under my wings and celebrated Apple Bloom's accomplishment, as they all cheer I quickly slide their candy baskets to them, they were refilled with fresh candy and secretly a few bits. They all gave me quick hugs and ran out of the cottage with the biggest smiles. When I see they're all gone, I start to laugh a lot, mainly because I couldn't laugh when they were here.

"Oh my Celestia! Did you see their faces!" I roll on the ground in laughter and my three actors came out of hiding and joined in my outburst of happiness. I then make eye contact with my costume. I slowly get up and still giggling to my self and go put it on. It looks just like the one I had when I was a filly...or at least it was suppose to, I've out grown it since the last time I sported it around PonyVille. All I can wear from my old costume is it's bunny ears and steampunk goggles. So, to go with my goggles, I quickly requested a steampunk outfit from Rarity and v'wala, steampunk bunny! As I put on my masterpiece, I hear a scream,

"CHANGELING!" Some other ponies scream as well as I walk out to see if their actually was one. Sure enough, there was a changeling dressed as a witch. It suddenly turns to me and approaches me creepily, I stand my ground as it gets face to face with me. It suddenly smiles and throw at me a piece of paper, I guess it found out I was part of the art club Devianence? I scan the paper as it has a bunch of my art on it and then my drawings are being related to some comic..

"You're SoulMelodyxX!! That's your name on Devianence!!" Every pony still stares a bit shocked and I stand surprised the voice of the changeling was a girls. She prances around acting all happy,

"Y-Yah, that's the name...I'm guessing you're a fan..?" She stops in her tracks,

"In a way yes, but you don't even know my name so I can't be a real fan till you know my actual name!"

"Okay, what's your-"

"My name's Rose, Rose the changeling," she puts out her hoof so we end up shaking hoofs, "big fan, really I am, but I didn't know you lived in PonyVille!" I smile nervously and nod my head very slowly,

"Yup! You found me! Now can I-" Rose pulls out a piece of parchment and starts writing vigorously. "What are you doing...?"

"Telling everypony about my adventures and how I met you!" I look confused at her and she notices fairly quickly, "I write a newspaper about my feelings and what's happening with awesome ponies like you! You're gonna be on the front page! Smile!"

"Huh?!" Without notice a flash of light appears leaving me dazed and a bit dizzy.

"Oooo, perfect!" Rose puts the picture in with the letter and sends it off to somewhere. She quickly hugs me and disappears into the night. After becoming aware of my surroundings again, I've come to realize I'm sitting on the ground. Doc helps me up and pulls me out of public view,

"You okay? Did she do something to you?" I shake my head with a confused look,

"No, I'm fine, really."

"Are you sure?" He looks concerned,

"I'm sure." I smile and kiss his cheek as I regain my ability to walk by myself. "I just didn't know I had a fan...well, I know I have them, I just didn't know one of them was a changeling." He laughs,

"Well of course you didn't love, okay, so let's get candy hopping, shall we?" He gives me his hoof and I gladly accept it.

Halloween Special | Part Two

We approach a cottage that very much spiked my interest, mainly, because of all the Irish memorabilia. The flag waved proudly with the little to no wind as it hanged in front of the old wood door. As we go up to grab a few pieces of candied apple slices, a toy dinosaur flies out of a window, and ( what I'm guessing ) was suppose to be a manly roar turned into a skittish scream as a bright green colt pushes through me and Doc to the slightly large dino. He quickly picks it up and blows off all the dirt, putting it on his back. He turns around and stares at me, his white and orange striped mane long yet short perfectly swooped to the right of his face. The dark ocean blue eyes fill with wonder,

"Are you Red?"

"Uuhhhh....I think my coat is red-" he shakes his head and laughs,

"No no no, RedVelvet." I giggle and smile,

"Yeah." He smiles wildly,

"I don't know if you remember me or not, I'm Shamrock Clover. We had school together and I asked you out.." I freeze, it's like time just stopped. My eyes look over at Doc who looks unknowingly about this and then back to Shamrock who's slightly blushing. I continue this pattern a few times and my eyes finally land on Shamrock. Doc clears his throat,

"Long time Shamrock." The two look at each other as if in a war,

"Long time, David." I look over quickly at Doc-or I should say David.

"David? That's an odd name.." David blushes,

"The full version is David Tennant, but I'm just known as The Doctor." I nod slowly trying to process this new information, while I'm processing I hear somepony scream Shamrock's name. He seems to freeze up a bit as a bright, kinda like a mustard color honestly, yellow pony with bright red hair zooms over to him and starts to argue with him about...kids? He seems to be a bit off at the whole situation, a little filly almost or not even as big as one of my wings slowly stands beside me. White coat and orange and bright green hair, she's quite cute. She starts to whisper,

"Daddy and mommy argue a lot." Daddy and mommy? How many does he...nevermind..

"What is it usually about..?"

"Mommy's ideas of trying to overthrow Princess Twilight and those people with Starlight, Trixie, and some other ponies I can't remember the names of." My eyes widen and I try to hold back a laugh, "Yeah, I don't think she'd be able to either." We both smile at each other and suddenly Shamrock snaps,

"Sunset!" My wing slowly pulls the little one to my side, and then the two finally notice there's other ponies still around. The little filly sticks out her head,

"Daddy~ remember what grandpa said.." he smiles and sighs,

"Yes, Poinsettia, I remember." She lightly smiles and runs up beside him, where he pulls her under him and she rubs her head on him. I start to feel all warm inside as Doc nudges me to go, I nod slightly,

"Well, it was nice seeing you Shamrock and nice meeting you Poinsettia." I wave my hood and make a quick exit, mainly because Sunset was starring me down, when we get far enough I sigh and breathe normally again. I look over at Doc and huff, "How come I never knew what your real name is?" He smiles nervously,

"Well, because it's weird. You said it yourself."

"I said it because it's not a common name you hear all the time, that's all, I meant nothing hurtful by it." I lightly nuzzle him as we keep walking, "Plus, the name's quite unique." I hear him sigh a bit,

"Wanna go back to my cottage?" I smirk.

"Sure~"

As we trot, side by side, the moon reaches it mid point and the little ones start to go home, rich with candy. The fronts of cottages slowly dim back out to only allow the moon to light up the area. Soon we arrived to the mad genius's home, dark blue with dark off green as its trim. We stand in front of it and look at each other, his jet blue eyes looking directly into mine, and time, once again, seemed to be in slow motion. Like somepony wanted to watch every muscle movement with absolute precision.
He leans in, his eyes slowly closing which caused me to close mine. Our lips brush against each other for a bit and then, suddenly, fireworks go off. I slowly stop and look up at the sky in aw.
