The Adventures of Firework and Science Explosions: The Rise to Fame
Chapter 20
Previous ChapterNext Chapter(Author's notes): So everypony I'm having a poll. If I decide to make Firework and Vinyl get intimate (more than kissing) (btw this won't be anywhere soon.) does everypony want it to be full detail (The story will become rated m and I will get very detailed but at the same time classy and interesting not just a clop fic) or rated T (just kinda saying they got intimate, dancing around it without going rated m)? Respond please!!! This chapter should clear up some questions about Sugar Sprinkles by the way. The next chapter will help with questions about Icestorm and his house of horrors. Also I'm going to stick to writing from each ponies perspective for a little while longer. I like the style more. As always comment, thumbs up and enjoy! :)
Firework:
Firework woke up in a strange place with white walls and floors, a bed with clean sheets, and tubes and wires running in and out of his body. This can't be heaven, he thought. And if it is I want to file a complaint. Firework noticed as a nurse walked in to check on him that this was a hospital. He tried to call out to the nurse but his throat felt drier than Ghastly Gorge. It came out as just a raspy moan.
"Well good morning Firework!" Chirped the nurse. "You've had a rough past few days it seems, It's amazing what you did for your friend. Stepping in front of a mugger with a knife like that but it's a shame what he did to that mare... But you're a hero! But here let me get you some water, I'm sure your thirsty." She said as she handed him a glass of water.
Firework quickly drank the glass of water. "Thank you nurse..." Firework didn't know the nurses name and felt kind of embarresed.
"Redheart. Nurse Redheart." She smiled. "How are you feeling? That stab wound was pretty nasty." Her smile faded as she mentioned the injury.
"I feel achy... Where's Vi-"
"FIREWORK!!!" Firework was cut off by the white unicorn bursting through the door and leaping onto his bed.
"Ugh.. Hey Vinyl!" Firework tried to hide his wince when she jumped onto the bed. The pain in his chest was extreme but he just wanted Vinyl close to him.
"Hey babe. Are you feeling any better? I can't believe you did that for Fuse. You're so brave and I love you." Vinyl said as she kissed him.
"He would have done the same for me. We're bros remember?" He said trying not to laugh in fear of pain.
"Yeah I know but still you're my hero!" She grinned as she kissed him again.
"Well I'll leave you two alone now." Nurse Redheart chuckled as she left Firework's room.
"Um.. Thanks Nurse." Firework said slightly red.
"Now where were we?" Vinyl said with a coy smile as she began to kiss Firework again.
"Something about me being your hero." Firework said with a wink.
"I think I remember that." Vinyl smiled as she began to kiss him again.
"Mmm... W-Wait Vinyl what about Lightning and Fuse? How are they doing?" Firework started to worry.
"Fuse is fine but he can't forgive himself for what happened... He thinks it's his fault." Vinyl started to look down. "A-And Lightning... Well.. She's not doin' so good.." Vinyl couldn't look Firework in the eyes.
"Damn it.." Cursed Firework. "It's not Fuse's fault. That bastard Icestorm did this. Not Fuse. Can we go see Lightning yet?" Asked Firework as Vinyl decided to snuggle up close to Firework.
"You can't. Not yet at least. You need bed rest. Doctor's orders and mine." Vinyl said snuggling closer to Firework. "You're not going anywhere without me."
Firework realized there was no reason to argue. "Fine. You win." He sighed and wrapped his wing around Vinyl to keep her warm.
"Firework?" Vinyl asked looking deep into his eyes.
"Yes Vinyl? Firework answered.
"Why did Sugar still think you two were together?" Vinyl had a slight frown on her face as if she thought he had been cheating on Sugar with her.
"Well.." Firework started with a sigh. Recalling the painful memories of when she left him with nothing but a broken heart in Ponyville. "Sugar and I dated for almost a year and we were very happy together. I loved her so much but then she told me she was moving to Las Pegasus. No reason why, she just wanted to. I told her I wouldn't move because me and Fuse were getting the band started and I wanted to see how far we could go. She said that she was going to leave with or without me. I begged her to stay but she wouldn't listen to me. She left me here with a broken heart. Alone. I thought her moving meant that we were finished. But I guess she didn't. I'm so sorry that she fought you. But I'm so happy that I ended up with you instead. You fixed my broken heart and I love you." Firework said kissing Vinyl's forehead.
"Aww, I love you too Firework." She smiled as he kissed her forehead and scooted closer to him. She was basically on top of him now and noticed Firework's coy grin. "Don't get any ideas you." She said with a grin and decided to curl up on top of him.
"I just hope Lightning and Fuse are ok... Fuse can be really hard on himself when he thinks he did something wrong. And just how bad is Lightning...?" Firework asked afraid to learn the truth.
"She was so close to death when Fuse cut her down from her ropes. She had lost so much blood. She had bruised and broken bones scattered through her body. She was such a mess." Vinyl again couldn't meet Firework's eyes.
"Is Icestorm in prison yet?" Firework was trying to find some good news in all this tragedy.
"Well actually..." Vinyl started.
"You two killed him?!" Firework yelled.
"N-No I-I d-did..." Vinyl started to cry at the mention of the sickening act she. Firework's jaw dropped as he laid there in shock.
"Oh Celestia... Vinyl a-are you ok?" Firework couldn't believe that the love of his life actually killed a stallion and probably saved his life.
"Y-Yeah I'm fine... I'm sure you hate me now.. I didn't want to tell you but you deserved to know." Vinyl said looking at the floor starting to cry.
"Vinyl there's nothing in this world that could make me love you less. I promise. You probably saved my life by doing that. I owe my life to you." Firework kissed Vinyl and brought her up close to his chest. He ignored the pain and began to hold her close.
"Firework did you see the scar..?" Vinyl asked unsure of how he would react.
"No. Show me." Firework looked nervous but ready to get it over with. He would see it sooner or later.
Vinyl levitated a hoof mirror over to Firework and held it up so he could see his chest. "It's not that bad.." Vinyl said trying to be optimistic.
Firework looked into the mirror and saw why the pain was so bad. The scar was a dark red and was about four inches across his chest. It looked like a thick piece of his mane glued to his chest. He sighed when he realized this would be a permanent reminded of his friendship with Fuse and his hatred of Icestorm. "I'm sure you think it's hideous.." Firework sighed as he closed his eyes in shame and pain.
"Never. I see it as your love for me and how brave you are. It's like a medal." Vinyl kissed his chest to try and ease the pain she knew he was feeling.
"You're the best Vinyl. You have gone through so much because of me and yet you still love me. I'm so lucky to have you in my life."
"There's nopony I'd rather be with. Through thick and thin I'm yours until the end." Vinyl smiled as she snuggled up to Firework and they both began to drift off to some much needed sleep.
