In life, friendships end, but it can leave a huge hole in the heart. This little colt couldn't have found out any other way

Battle Trident, a young colt, has seen his best friend hang out with someone else. At first he thought it was just for the day, but it soon became weeks and then months. He's wondering if it'll turn into years before they can hang out again. Until he had enough of waiting and chooses to end the friendship over a silly mistake of taking it the wrong way.

And Leaves the Heart Broken

"I had it!" A young colt yelled, facing his best friend, "You never hang out with me anymore!"

His friend blinked, "Well you stopped first."

"No, I didn't. You did." The colt felt the tears forming in his eyes, "And all because of some stupid show!"

Right then and there, his best friend had started yelling at him, but he had to fight back the tears. But it was hard not to let them go.

"What's going on?" He turned and saw... His other friend, the one who had stolen his best friend, "Oh! Hi Battle Trident! How ya been?"

Battle blinked and fought the anger inside of him, "Hello Crimson Mask." He said with no emotion.

Battle Trident watched as his two friends began talking about the stupid show they loved and adored. Ninja Horse. He didn't even watched the show once and yet somehow they loved it.

"Um... Frost wing?" Battle asked, stepping closer to them, "C-Can talk to you?"

"What!?" Battle was token back by his friend's sudden anger, then again, he did cause the anger from fighting with him, "What do you want?"

"I wanted to know if you wanted to hang out with me. Like old times?"

"Na, I'm good."

Battle stared at him and frowned, but the sadness became anger, "Oh! So you choose him over me!? Well guess what!? I'm done! I hate you!"

Before either Crimson or Frost could react, Battle ran away. He ran away from them as fast as his little legs could take him, it wasn't until he was forced to stop because he had bumped into someone.

Or rather some stallion, that was an adult.

"I'm sorry." Battle apologized, backing up from the stallion, "I didn't watch were I was going."

"Now, it's okay." The stallion said before seeing the little colt, "Wait... Battle Trident? What are you doing here?"

Night Light. His father's friend.

"Um... I... I ugh.... Was looking for something?"

"Battle Trident." Night Light said in a serious tone, "What's going on?"

"Okay, Okay... I got into a fight."

"What kind of fight?"

Battle gulped, "A friendship fight."

Night chuckled, "Then why don't you and your friend make-"

"NO!"

"No?" Night Light raised an eyebrow, "What do you mean no?"

Battle didn't say anything for a minute, so Night Light asked once more.

"What do you mean no?" He asked once more, this time sounding more serious than ever.

"I mean that we can't. The friendship is already over. He won't forgive me because he has Crimson Mask to hang out with. Besides, they have more in common than we ever did before." Battle Trident explained, "Frost Wing has a better chance at life with him then he ever had with me."

Night Light thought for a moment, "Are you saying you fell in love with your friend, Battle Trident?" He noticed Battle didn't answer, "Because, if you did, it's alright. Soon colts or fillies do fall in love with their friends. Just like I did with my wife."

"But... We're both boys!" He saw Night Light frown, "I thought only colts were allowed to fall in love with fillies and the other way around!"

"And who told you that?"

"... Spear Dropper."

Spear Dropper, the colt that was suck up in his pride. The pale yellow colt with a bright blue mane. Night Light wasn't fond of him, Spear Dropper was the bully of Battle Trident.

"Well, don't listen to him. You can love whoever you want." Night light said, giving Battle a hug. "Now, let's go see your ex-friend."

Crimson Mask and Frost Wing were talking about the next scene of their little fanfiction, though Frost Wing did feel bad for Battle Trident, having to get into a fight and saying that he hated him.

"Crimson, could I tell you something?" Frost asked, putting a hoof over his friend's mouth, "It's about Battle Trident."

"For the last time, he's jealous!"

"No, it's not that. But... I think I may have over did it. I mean, I did stop hanging out with him first." Frost looked down at the floor, "And I do care about him."

"That's nice to know Frost Wing." Both colts jumped at the sound of Night Light's voice, "Because he would like to say something to you."

Battle Trident stepped towards them and gave his best brave face, not seeing Spear Dropper watching him, "I... I don't like you two hanging out all the time... It makes me feel-"

"Jealous? I knew it." Crimson said, making a face at Trident, "Oh well, what are you suppose to do?"

"I'm not jealous, but I do feel like you need to tone it down!"

Spear looked shocked, "Holy...."

Crimson looked at his friend, "Well, someone brave now, isn't he?"

Night Light stepped in between the two, "Crimson, don't bully him. Battle is trying to be nice and say he's sorry for yelling at you two."

"More like Frost Wing..."

Night Light gave a light chuckle, "Still, saying sorry to both of them would do you good. And them too."

Frost Wing and Crimson Masked looked at each other and then at Battle Trident, nodding.

"I'm very sorry Frost, Crimson, I got out of hoof and went into the matter of ending the friendship." Battle apologized, but went on, not giving them a chance to say anything, "But I think it would do us all good if the friendship remained broken."

Frost Wing looked at his best friend, "What? Why? Why can't we be friends again?"

"Because... I need to think about were I stand with you." Frost Wing gave a slight confused look, "As in, I need to think about what I feel for you. If I want to be friends with you again."

"Oh..."

Spear Dropper stopped and looked at them, "Then why? Why say this all and tell them that the friendship is still over?"

The trio looked at the bully.

"Because there's a time when the friendship needs to end, and being jealous is a part of growing up." Battle explained, "And I think you need friends that can help you see what you're doing wrong, Spear Dropper."

Nearly two weeks passed and Battle Trident was nowhere to be found in school. Night Light hadn't talk to his father for about eight days and was starting to get worried.

Now, where could they be? They haven't been around for two weeks now! Night light to himself looking out the window, and then noticed the mail pony dropping off a letter. We haven't gotten a letter for a long time.

Night light headed towards the door, walking out into the outside world, which was as sunny as ever, and took out the letter from the mail box.

It was a letter from Battle Trident.

Dear Night Light,

It's been a while huh? Thanks for helping me out with the friendship fight thing... I've moved from my old house into my new house just a week ago! That's why we haven't seen each other. I'm still in Canterlot, so don't worry! Though, I don't think I can remember the way to your house, we might meet up or bump into each other though!

Can't wait to see you again!

- Battle Trident.

Night Light smiled, as he walked back into his house, reading the letter over and over again, happy that Battle Trident was okay and alive for that matter. Though one question never did leave his mind. Was he friends with Crimson Mask and Frost Wing again?
