Strider awoke to a loud Crack of thunder as rain pelted her windows, she stretched and got up. The clock on her wall said it was 5 o'clock. Being it was still early she tried to go back to bed but to no avail so she. walked to her bathroom and looked in the mirror. She was a mess her mane was going every which way and her coat around her eyes was matted from last night. She cleaned up and as she walked out of her bathroom she noticed the letter from Dusty on her bed, she sighed and grabbed it. She brought the letter out into her kitchen grabbing a quill and sheet of paper on her way. She sat at her table and began writing a responds.

"Dear Dusty its Strider. I got you letter and all I can say is yes I will marry you" She stopped did she REALLY want to, She did find him attractive and she really enjoyed his company but to get married? That is different. Where would it take place? Who would pay for it? Who would come? All these questions spun in her head tell a voice snapped her back to real life.

"Say yes, you love him," The voice said and at first she thought she was hearing things but then the voice said, "Do you have a towel?"

Strider turned to see the pony she kinda hoped to never see again, her sister Strafe. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!" Strider yelled as fresh tears started running down her face. Her sister didn't move as she got up and pointed at her and yelled, "THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT! IF IT WASN'T FOR YOU HE WOULD BE HEALTHY AND NOT DYING! YET YOU AND THOSE STUPID STUCK UP PONIES AT CANTERLOT THINK THAT NOTHING WRONG HAS HAPPENED!" Each word stung but Strafe didn't move tell Strider was right in front of her, tears running down her face.

Strider suddenly collapsed and Strafe swiftly caught her and carried her to her bed and lied her down well Strafe sat with Strider's head on her lap slowly running her hoof over her mane. The words Strider spoke hurt Strafe and she to let some tears run down her face but she knew that the fighting had to stop if Strider and Dusty were going to get married and she was willing to take any anger Strider would throw at her. As Strider slept Strafe watched out the bedroom window. She looked at the mountains and the shadows they cast when there was a flash of lighting. Something caught her eye at the end of the runway. The cliff side at the end of the runway was covered in vines and plants. As a bolt of lighting shot across the sky, she noticed a reflection on the cliff, this peeked her interest.

Ten minutes passed before Strider woke and Strafe was ready Strider to start yelling at her. Instead of getting angry Strider pulled Strafe into a hug and cried saying, "I'm sorry I'm so sorry for yelling."

"It's okay I know you are upset and I understand why. I just want it to stop for Dusty's sake and I feel you should marry him." Strafe said hugging her sister back. Strider didn't say anything so Strafe said, "Let's go outside in the rain like when we were little fillies?"

A muffled "Sure." Came from Strider as she pulled her face away from Strafe's chest. She got up and they both walked to the front door and opened it. It was lightly raining but that didn't stop the two sisters. As Strider walked out into the rain it felt like everything was just washed off, no anger, no regret, no sorrow, just joy. She didn't know why but as she looked at her sister who she could see in the dim light, was flying. She couldn't help herself, she ran at Strafe jump and grabbed her tail with her hoofs giggling. Strafe at first was caught off guard but soon started laughing to, as for a hour they chased each other up and down the airfield in the rain. Strafe flew low so Strider could catch her but after crack of lighting she noticed Strider wasn't chasing her bit instead looking at the cliff at the end of the runway.

"Something wrong?" Strafe asked.

By now the sun was peeking over the mountain tops. "No I just saw something that's all." Strider said walking towards it. As they got close Strafe flew up to it and moved some vines and knocked on it and what she got stunned her and Strider. It sounded like she just knocked on a big medal door. "WHAT IS THIS THING!" Strider said alarmed.

"Maybe if we get these vines down, we can see what it is. Do you have any cutters?" Strafe asked.

"I do there in the shed." Strider pointed at a small shed a quarter of the way down the airfield. Strafe flew down and got them and began cutting. It took half a hour to cut and clear away the vines but it was worth it as what stood in front of them was a huge medal door that was almost twice the as wide as the runway. "Hey what's this?" Strider asked walking to the left side of the door to a little square with buttonson it.

"I got this I read about these before." Strafe said as she covered the object with her wing to shield it from the light rain. After a few minutes she said, "If I'm remembering correctly if we touch these." There was a spark then the door shuttered and slow lowered into the ground.

As dust fell off the door Strider asked, "So you know what this thing is?"

"No but that is used in some of the most important human structures. Which means who knows what's on the other side." Strafe said with a huge smile.

The door was almost all the way down when Strider but a hoof on her sister and said, "Please don't tell the CRRS."

Strafe nodded and said, "Something this size? I wouldn't dream of it."

Both ponies stood there as the door lowered, once all the way the object inside was nothing short of unbelievable.

Dusty lay on his bed when a mare dressed in a red and white outfit handed him a letter. He opened it and it read, "Dear Dusty, it's Strider I agree to marry you and me and my sister have kinda gotten back together and will be coming to get you as we have one heck of a surprise. Love Strider." Dusty smiled holding the letter to his chest as a tear ran down his cheek.
