I ran up to Flashing Light as he collapsed I quickly put out the flames on his wings and hooves and out if the corner of my eye I saw the raider running away with his tail in between his legs I called over the filly Light had saved and asked if they could follow me to safety before some ghouls find us the mare replied "yes where are you from miss" she asked while i hauled Flashing light onto my back, I replied "nowhere... ooff ... nowhere we just walk and have been for a year now started in manehatten after I meet Flashing light here in a house all alone crying. "Oh, did he say why he was crying?" "his parents were killed earlier the day I found him and he said he had to play dead under the bodies of the raiders who attacked them and he stayed there for a few hours" the FILLY immediately sunk her head with sorrow and I quickly said "yeah just proves how harsh these lands are little lady. where are your parents by the way i didn't see anyone nearby."
She quickly started sniffling so we stopped by a wreckage of a former building it looked relatively untouched so we quickly took shelter in and got tk the top floor to get away from ghouls and molerats that were around "sssshh, i'm sorry sweety but I need you to be quiet because if there is ghouls out there they will hear us" I say giving the young filly a hug, I really have a way with kids don't I.

I walked down the road to the next settlement I was not a looter however I was just looking for some jobs to do quickly to earn some extra caps. I approached a small train station where I see a red mare with a orange mane doing some farm work, I call out to her "Hello, don't shoot I am not here to hurt you" I say quickly putting my forelegs up to show I meant peace the farmer quickly goes to draw her shotgun but sees my sign and lowers her aim but keeps the gun ready to fire, " what do you want, we don't want no trouble," I quickly reply back "just looking for some work, need to pay a debt and need a little bit extra to buy food, Meds you know the usual stuff" I lower my forelegs to take a small step forward and regain my balance I can see the mare thinking and she says "you any good with a sniper or any long range weapon" I nod my head I wasn't the best but you have to learn "we have alot of children here so we require some fresh food and water and there are some super mutants with some nukes but they don'the know what to do with them, so keep your distance but they have a farm just a little while south East of here, if you get the food and water we can give you some basic supplies and shelter from the night if you want."

I shake my head as hear flashing light coming too I move too support his head as the filly sits in the corner sobbing lightly, I see Light shaking his head and clenching his teeth proberly from the pain, I can't really blame him as from watching he did take alot of damage and he was on fire for quite a while, I see him try to sit up as I get his flask tof give him a drink he gulps the water down ferociously and does a small nod of appreciation as his voice was creaky from dehydration, "you all right mister sleepyhead" he quickly pushes a hoof into my mouth to shut me up "now is not the time trees" he says with some annoyance in his voice as he clears his voice and proceeds to get up to check our surroundings, "so what happened after I passed out" he says as he scans the horizon noticing the occasional city but what mostly used to be farmland.
"Carried you hear while talking to the filly in the corner, don'the know her name or, what happened to her parents she teared up when I asked her" I say quitting down towards the end of the sentence so she wouldn't hear. "Well I am going to ask her name because I don't want to call her filly or kid the whole time as that is disrespectful, right Happy Trees" he says staring me in the eye test the end of the sentence making reference to me calling Light kid alot of the time mostly be caused it annoyed him and made him sulk light like a little baby, "you liked me calling you kid or kiddo didn't you" "NO I didn'the I have matured more then you over the year I have been travelling with you soexcuse me I am going to talk to the scared filly in the corner" he says pointing at the filly with his hoof."
