"Centaur. come on centaur wake up, I'm alright."

Centaur opened his eyes and was greeted with the sight, of Little Strongheart. He shook his head recalling what happend."I thought  told you to wait till I gave the all clear."

She smiled, "You never came back. So I sorta, found you."

Centaur rubbed his head with his good hand ."Where's Zecora?"

"She told me to watch after you until she gets back. I made you breakfast."

"Breakfast? How long was I out?"

She shrugged "about a week..or two."

"Two weeks! You mean to tell me I wasted two weeks? Tribe is in trouble, Strongheart."

She laughed ,"I was joking." Centaur sighed, relived   "It's been a week and a half."

"Strongheart." He got up and started to look around."Wheres my spear?"

"Zecora, took it. She said, that when you wake up you might run off."

"She was right to. Where'd she go, Strongheart ?" Centaur tried to stand and wobbled to the door.

"She numbed your legs.For some reason, I think she likes to do it."

He mumbled."I hate that Zebra. Why is she always using things against me?"

It's because If I can't get you calm yourself, you'd destroy the house." Zecora placed her hoof around Centaur's back."Lie and say you wouldn't."

He shrugged."Give me back my spear Zecora."

"No. I'm keeping this until  I receive word from, Twilight that evrything is  all and well in Tribe."

Centaur, grabbed Zecora's neck."Give me my spear Zecora."

"Or What.You're going to wait here until the elements of harmony, The main elements, Put a end to nightmare moon." Zecora reached into her pouch, glaring daggers into Centaur's eyes.

He dropped her."Fine keep the spear, at least let me go hunting, I'm starving. I also want to get that cat back for running off with my arm." He waved his stump of a arm.

Zecora laughed. No need I picked up plenty of things for you , Centaur."

Strongheart  popped out of nowhere. "What about me Zecora?"

"Ah. I have a better Idea, Little Strongheart. Why don't you go into Ponyville with centaur. Now that he's up I'm sure it wouldn't be to horrible for you."

"Ponyville? is that that town I saw on the way in?" Centaur sat on all for of his knees,"I was actually wondering about that town.Looks familiar."

"Come on Centaur, I've been stuck in this place for a week. Lets go see ponyville." Strongheart said walkng outside.

Centaur,followed close behind. "I don't wanna.Lets just go hunt down that Manticore."

Strongheart turned around and started walking backward, looking at centaur."What would that solve? All that would do is feed your ego."

"Turn around , Stongheart, that's creepy. How do you know If you're not gonna hit somthing?"

She giggled,"I guess I don't. That doesn't stop me from enjoying the moment.Cheif Thunderhooves said for me to see all Equestria has to offer, So I am."

"Your taking it to serious." He reached out for her mane then hesitated, Pulling away.

"What still scared to touch me?" She smiled and jumped at him. He recoiled, falling over. She laughed at him,"You are still scared aren't you?"

"NO! I could touch you if I wanted to."

She looked down at him, tilting her head."What.I never said you could 'touch me'." she stressed the last two words.

"No. not like that like." there was no good way he could make it sound,"Nevermind.You know I didn't mean it like that."he stood upand started walking again.

They started,Running, Strongheart still trying to touch him.They slowed down as they went into Ponyville.The ponies stared at Centaur like he was the strangest thing they've seen, half human, half pony.eventually, they stopped. Sitting on a bench were two ponies.

"Hey come over here a sec." said the greenish one.

Centaur walked up to her, "Is there something you need help with?"

She shook her head,"Hi, I'm Lyra this is Bon Bon.I couldn't help but notice how weird you look."

"What?" Centaur said confused.You just call everypony you meet weird, don't you? Well I'm sorry for looking weird to you Lyra why don't you just go buck yourself.No. wait why don't you go an-"

Stongheard elbowed his side, then pointed at Lyra.

"Oh. Sorry, Lyra." he looked at Stongeheart and whispered."What do I do?"

She whispered back,"You're the one who made her Cry, you fix it."

Centaur put his hoof on her shoulder,"Is there anything I can do to make it up to you,Lyra?"

"Yes there is!" She said suddenly smiling, You can come have dinner with me on the address written here." She pressed a piece of paper onto his chest then put a pen to it,Scribbling something down."There meet me here tonight."

"Can I come?" Strongheart asked, Shyly.

Lyra smiled,"Of course the more the merrier"

"I'm starving, Strongheart, can we get moving already?"

"Save your appetite for later, we're having...Bon Bon." She giggled."See you tonight."

The Centaur and Buffalo walked away from the two mares.Heading back toward the forest.

"Centaur. What do you think she meant when she said where having Bon Bon?"

Centaur sighed,"I don't even know how i got roped into this."
