He's Married and Moving On
Who would've guessed that little Battle Trident would've grown up to be a royal guard and met his soul mate at the Gala. Not Frost Wing, that's for sure. He had watched him dance with the daughter of Filthy Rich and Spoiled Rich; Diamond Tiara. Her best friend, Silver Spoon, watched from the side as the two danced.
Spear Dropper, that lone Pegasus, bumped into her and asked her to dance. That made two guards finding their soul mates. Filthy had smiled when he saw both his daughter and Battle dancing, he was happy for them. And he knew it well.
"If you want to be with her..." Filthy began, "Then promise me that you'll protect her like you protect this land."
Battle had promised.
He promised to protect her like he protects the land and princesses. It crushed Frost Wing.
About two weeks later, Diamond had begun visiting Battle, as did Silver Spoon with Spear Dropper. Frost Wing could only watch from the side as he wrote his newest book with Crimson Mask.
Three weeks passed. They went on a date.
Four. They kissed.
Five weeks, Battle had meet Diamond's mother and father and took them out for dinner, his treat.
Spoiled and Filthy took a liking in him, they loved everything about the stallion. And if he made Diamond happy, then he was good enough for them.
Two years passed. Something happened.
"So..." Silver begun, "You going to marry him?"
Frost stopped and look towards the mares, who ever about three hoofs away from him.
Diamond laughed, "Well if he asks me to, then yes. I will."
M-Married? Battle and Diamond? Frost thought to himself, starting to look down.
The unicorn looked at the mares one last time before leaving the scene, running towards Battle's house, but stopped when he saw him walking towards him.
"Battle!" Frost Wing said, running up to his friend, "What's up?"
Battle looked on forward, and then shook his head, "Oh, didn't see you there Frost. I'm looking for Diamond. I need to ask her something."
His heart sank, ".... Really? What are you going to ask?"
He saw Battle smile, "I'm going to ask her to marry me."
Frost stopped and nodded, "Good luck."
"Thanks!"
Battle broke into a run, looking for his marefriend, which made Frost's heart hurt even more.
"Yes!" Frost Wing stopped and looked to see Battle, Diamond, and few other ponies smiling, he knew what happened. He got the dream girl.
"Congrats....Battle." Frost wing said in a low voice.
Battle Trident didn't even notice his friend walking away with a frown, a few tears rolling down his face, all he cared about was this beautiful mare in front of him.
The wedding. It was the most heartbreaking thing Frost Wing ever went to. He was blind as a colt to see his only love getting married by another one. A mare. A beautiful mare. A rich mare.
He was quiet during the whole thing, he looked at saw Spear Dropper and Silver Spoon nuzzling each other in happiness for their friends. And now, what was Frost Wing left with? Nothing. Not even a mare or stallion. Nothing.
Being forced to watch as his friend, could've been lover, get married to a rich pony, was more than heartbreaking to him.
Frost looked at his friend, that little colt; who had a crush on him since colthood. That little colt found a girl more worthy and wealthy than him.
He noticed Diamond's father and mother smiling. Proud that their daughter had found someone right for her, and had a well paying job.
What could be better for their little girl?
How about someone that could treat her like a princess?
What was Frost Wing thinking?
That he could've been with Battle Trident? Possible.
"Hey, Frost!" Frost wing looked back and saw Battle Trident coming towards him with Diamond Tiara at his side.
It had been about six months after the wedding.
"What's up, man?" His friend asked. Smiling brightly as he did.
Control yourself Frost Frost wing thought to himself. "Ah, nothing much, Battle."
"I got some news for you!" Battle told him. "Me and Diamond are expecting a foal! And I want you to be it's uncle and godfather."
Frost wing's mouth went dry. "F-Foal?" Battle nodded. "I'd loved too. Thanks Battle."
"Haha, no problem!"
That young little colt that he once knew, changed. So fast too.
Married and expecting a foal.
Frost Wing wouldn't have guessed that when he was young.
It was shocking.
Life begins with something so small,
Innocent baby, could barely crawl.
Beautiful toddler, grows into a child,
Those teenage years, are often quite wild.
During adulthood, we all try to find,
Unique experiences, rewire each mind.
For several decades, we become so busy,
This is life, sometimes it's dizzy.
Years go by, we continue to age,
We approach, our final page.
The meaning of life we understand.
Death converts, our body to sand
Frost Wing had looked over his poem. For about the 5th time in a row.
His mind was still on Battle having a foal.
His yet to be born goddaughter or godson.
His niece or nephew.
How could he live knowing that he wasn't going to have Battle Trident?
Frost wing didn't know.
"I wish that I confessed sooner, maybe around the time they met. My life would be easier to live then right now." Frost wing muttered. "But no. I didn't confess. I let him find a mare."
He stopped.
"And one that's rich too."
