No boom boom in the Bloom room

Chapter 2
No boom boom in the Bloom room

Somewhere in Vanhoover a high stakes game of Go Fish was underway. Only two players left, High Rise and Pin Point.

“Any 3’s”

“ Go fish”

“Any Jacks”

“Aw man”

“Well looks like I win.” Pin Point declared,”better luck next time.”

As Pin Point collected his winnings High Rise spoke to him,”Oh, now come on son give me a chance to win some of my money back. “

“Oh no, I'm not getting hustled by you,” Pin point declared,”besides I think it's time for me to find a nice young mare I can get close to if you know what I mean.”

High Rise smiled,”as a matter of fact I do. How about we go back to my place I got something that might peak your interest.”

With a simple jester Pin Point followed High Rise out of the bar and toward the rich pony's house. As both ponies entered the house Pin Point was amazed by the ambiance.

“OK you have a seat there and I will get the entertainment,” High Rise said as he walked upstairs. A minute later he returned with what looked like two young fillies, a red one and a yellow one.

“So what do you think? Nice and pretty enough for you? So you don't have to waste that hard earned money at a brothel you can spend it here,” High rise stated.

Pin Point looked at the girls. He happen to notice a black eye that seemed to be covered by makeup on the yellow one.

“What happened to this one? She get in a fight.” Pin Point noticed.

“Actually she got a little to bold with me so I had to let her know I don't tolerate that,” high exclaimed.

Pin Point also notice two missing teeth and a multitude of scars and bruises on her as well. When he looked the red filly there were no bruises not even a hair out of place.

“Come on now pick which one,” High Rise said impatiently, “pick one then we can go to Apple Bloom's room and have some real fun.”

Pin Point glared. “Hmmm...I got a better idea. How about a wager. A bet if you will.”
“What kind of bet?”
“For these two fine fillies.”

High Rise raised an eyebrow,”now why would I do such a wager?”

“Mainly because of this,” Pin Point tosses a gold coin at the rich pony.

High rise looks at the coin then holds it up to the light. Just then Apple Bloom's gaze fixed on the coin and she lets out a gasp.

“Ah recognize that. That's the first place coin ah won at the Appleloosa junior rodeo. M'ah sister was so proud of me that day.”

High rise gave Apple Bloom a look that could melt steel. He threw the coin meant to hit the filly but Pin Point intercepted it and placed it back in his pocket.

“So Mr. Rise here the situation. I know from a certain group of ponies that you purchased this girl for a very good price. I also know that you sexually abuse her on a regular basis. I also know that in most cases that you give your daughter the same treatment. Such stallions like you shouldn't be allowed to live so I'm going to give you a gentlemen's chance to get out of this.”

Pin Point reaches into his pocket and pulls out a bottle. Inside the bottle are two white pills. He places the bottle on the table. From his other pocket he out a small hourglass timer.

“What you see before are two white pills. One pill is nothing more than a sugar pill, but the other is a colmeh pill. If you're not familiar with it let's just say that its a poison only used in the most extreme conditions. Colmeh is strong enough to kill a full grown manticor in two minutes. So I give you the choice of picking one pill I take the other and see who falls in 2 minutes.”

“What if I refuse,” High rise stated,”you got nothing to make me take that pill.”

Pin Point pulled out the coin,”only this, you see when you touched this the enchantment put on it was activated. So now in about 15 minutes the entire Apple family will know where their lost apple is now located. The only way to stop it is to pick the right pill. As always the choice is yours.”

High Rise stared at the bottle then at the coin Pin Point was juggling between his hooves. The more he looked at it the more upset he became. Finally he gave in and reached for the bottle.

“OK I will take this one!”

“Fair enough.”

Both stallions held a pill in their hoof. Both swallowed their pill. Pin Point flipped the timer and waited. As the last grain of sand fell both stallion fell forward onto the table. Apple Bloom and Ruby gasped as High Rise and Pin Point remained motionless. Just then Pin Point raised his head and slowly leaned back in the chair.

Apple Bloom exclaimed,”you're alive!”

“Yyyess I ammm.” Pin Point announced feeling disoriented

“Ah can't believe it that old buzzard actually took the poison pill.”

“Actually both pills were poisoned. Its just I have built an immunity to the affect of colmeh. However it still has a very heady affect on me.”

After 10 minutes Pin Point was strong enough to leave the house. He told the girl let's go. As they all walked out Ruby stopped gave her Daddy a kiss on the cheek and joined the others.

“You're safe now”

Author's Note

The second chapter I used the drinking challange from The Princess Bride. Oh, yeah colmeh is just hemloc spelled backwards.

Chapter 3 Scoot Scoot Scoot to my loo

Skoot, skoot, skoot to my loo

At the hotel in Baltimare two of the three Cutie Mark Crusaders were rejoicing about seeing each other. It had been 6 years since the last time Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle talked. The sight of Melody did not catch Apple Bloom by surprise for she knew if a birth control spell had not been casted on herself. Apple Bloom would have two foals by now and Ruby as well.

As the conversation continued the door to the room opened. Standing in the door stood Pin Point. He had blood coming from his lip as was his right forhoof. The girls look at him limping in the room.

“Are you OK?” Ask Sweetie Belle.

Pin Point laugh,”I'm fine you should see the other guy. Oh yeah, before I forget I have a surprise for you gals.”

He stepped in jestering back to the door for someone to follow. Just then an orange Pegasus with a purple mane walked in with a look of confusion on her face.

“SCOOTALOO!!!!!” Bloom and Belle both yelled as hugs and tears fell.

A very energetic Pegasus filly popped up in the middle of the group hug,”hello I'm Melody. Hey, your a pegasus too. Cool we can go flying together sometimes.”

“Yeah sometimes,” Scootaloo said in a very depressed tone.

As the night went on conversation and stories of life in the last 6 years continued and how Pin Point came along and rescued them.

“Oh that's nothing,” Scoots said.

Five hours earlier.

A shady part of town a stallion walks up to a brothel. He knocks on the door. A pony opens a sliding peephole and looks out,”Yeah whatcha want?”

Pin Point looks at the surly pair of eyes,”I would like to talk to your boss.”

“Piss off we're closed!” The stallion closed the slot.

A minute later there was a knock at the door again. As the stallion went to look through the slot he saw a hoof flying straight through the slot knocking the door off the hinges and taking down the guard behind the door. As Pin point walked in he could see the insides of a shady bar. Patron and guards all look at the pony as he stood there with a look that could melt steel.

“I'm looking for the owner of this den of debauchery. I won't ask again.”

Just then three guards rushed at Pin Point as he took a fighting stance. The first guard tried to swing at Pin Point only to miss and be tossed into a table. The second guard pulled out a knife and charged. As he stabbed at Pin Point he missed, had the knife redirected back into his shoulder and kicked in the horse nuggets. The third guard took a pool cue and swung at Pin Point just as he evaded the swing kicked him in the stomach took the que and slit it over the guard's head. Just then the first guard recovered, grabbed a liquor bottle, smashed the end to make a jagged weapon. Pin Point saw this and charged the guard. Missing again the guard was relieved of his weapon as Pin Point uppercutted him knocking the guard over the bar.

The whole time the owner was in his office watching his guards get horse whipped by a stallion he could not recognize. “What the hell is this? Have we been found out? No, no its only one stallion I think we can handle this isn't that right Opal.” A growling came from behind the stallion as he sat at his desk.

As Pin Point dispatched the final guard he his eyes were set on the bartender a chartreuse mare with a white and silver mane who was cringing behind the bar.

“Where?”

She pointed to a door across the bar marked ‘Private’

As Pin Point trotted for the door it swung open to see a slender middle aged stallion wearing a three piece suit with a cigar in his mouth.

“Is there something I could help you with sir seeing how you have made such a mess of my fine establishment?”

“I'm here for the filly you call ‘Buzz’. Hand her over and I will leave here with no problems. Easy peasy.” Pin Point said with a smirk.

“Sure, sure no problem you just go through that door and she's all yours.”

Pin Point trotted towards the door just to see a diamond dog walk through the entrance. The dog stood at least a good foot taller than Pin Point and gave out a growling chuckel.

“And here I was thinking this would be easy.” Pin point stated.

“Silly pony life is never that easy. Opal, take care of this problem.”

“Opal? This is a female? OK, you're big. Fought bigg…..oooof.”before Pin Point could finish his fraise a huge back paw smack him across his muzzle and charged ready to pounce on the discombobulated stallion. Regaining some of his wits about him he dodged and countered with a roundhouse kick to the side of the head. It did nothing but make the dog even more agitated as she swatted Pin point like a fly.

A few more kicks, punches, and dodges proved to be useless for Pin Point. Everything he attempted Opal countered. He was sucking wind and running out of time just as Opal came in for the final strike. A last moment idea came to him as the diamond dog bared down. He reached in his pocket and pulled out something that stopped the dog from attacking. In Pin Point's hand was a bronze ring with an amethyst gem embedded in it.

the moment Opal saw the jem her whole demeanor changed. Like putting a treat in front of the diamond dog’s nose. she started panting and wagging her tail as Pin point noticed he had full control over the dog.

“You want it girl? Then go fetch!” Pin Point tossed the ring to the dog’s boss. With great furocity the dog ran into her boss knocking the wind out of him and rolling into a wall. Pin Point took this chance to make a move towards the boss. Standing over the boss he said,”Now as I was saying, Buzz!”

After tying up the boss and putting Opal in a cage with her new found jem Pin Point found his way to the back room where hopefully scootaloo was still. What he found where multiple rooms each with a number on them from 1 to 25. As a stroke of luck he tried the last door and sure enough there was Scootaloo sitting on the bed head down wearing a lace bra and panties.

“Hello,” she said with a fake smile on her face,”How can I pleasure you today, sir?”

“How about you get dressed so we can get the buck out of here?”

Scoots looked up to see a battered earth pony standing in front of her. “Let me guess you beat up the guards and went one on one with Opal?”

Pin Point stepped back amazed,”How did you know?”

“Eh, lucky guess. So we can go?”

“Yes we can.”

“No wait, we have to free the others. I just can't leave them here for somepony else to find them.”

Finding the boss, Pin Point took his keys and released all the mares in the adjacent rooms and told them to go to the authorities. Scootaloo saw Spring, gave her a hug and said,”You're safe now.”

I hope you're enjoying my story. I will say it is hard to post chapter seeing how I'm an over the road truck driver. But I continue

Finally

Chapter 4 Finally

Hours have went by as the reunited Cutie Mark Crusaders were catching up on old times. They talked about the good, some of the bad, and the friends that helped to make the bad times go by easier. Yet a question still lingered on their minds. Sweetie Belle was the first to ask.

“Pin Point? We were wondering why are we in a hotel in Little Celestia instead of going home?”

Getting off the couch with a slight wince Pin Point responded,”You don't know this but there are spies everywhere. Before getting you three out I had to find your kidnappers. With the help of a little filly named Twist I as well as a couple of Royal guards were able to find their place of operations. One thing I could say about the leader Tinker he keeps a ledger for every filly he has sold into slavery. Surprising is that he has been doing this for over 20 years.”

“20 YEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Cried the girls in unison.

“Yes,” replied Pin Point,”and those three pedifile ponies would be still getting a way with it if wasn't for that ex-wonderbolt who went back and bragged about what he did to you Scoots.”

“Ha,” Scoots laughed,”from what I heard Rainbow Dash kicked his sorry flank.”

“Yes she did and with the help of the wonderbolts Dash tried to find the brothel you were being held in. Unfortunately the troops got there too late. For years each time a lead came up it went cold just as quick. So that's when I got a call from Derpy. You know she's always losing something. She called me and asked if I would come to Ponyville to help with a missing person case. I agreed. It took me two days to get there by train. I met Mayor Mare and all your families, got the info I needed and was off. It only took me a month to find the three that abducted you. And well you know the rest.”

“Well we're sure glad ya found us,” Apple Bloom said with tears in her eyes. The other two nodded in unison.

Snapping his hooves together and springing out of his chair Pin Point yelled,”Oh yeah I almost forgot. If and when I found you I was suppose to give you something.” He went to the closet and pulled out a suitcase. Opening it he pulled out 4 jars filled with an orange swirling liquid.

“Ooo swirly, what is that,” Melody squeaked.

“I really don't know,” Pin Point said, “As I was leaving town this zebra came up to me and gave me 4 bottles and said,’before you come to town make sure they all drink it down.’ So I assume it's some kind of medicine “

“An elixir from Zecora? Well give me that,” stated Apple Bloom.

The three girls and their rescuer all had a bottle in their hoof and made a toast.

“To good friends.”

“Here's mud in your eye.”

“Bottoms up.”

“Past the teeth, past the gums, look out stomach here she comes.”

Each one finished their vile of liquid. A moment later each one started to glow and feel a warm sensation. Pin Point had to check and see if he wetted himself. With relief he was still dry. Turning towards a mirror he noticed that all the scars bumps and bruises he suffered from Opal were gone.

“Wow that stuff really worked.”

Sweetie Belle could feel the effects of the potion. She felt rejuvenated and the whole in her horn from wearing that inhibitor ring was healed. Instantly she levitated her daughter into a hug.

“I can use my magic again!”

Apple Bloom started feeling the rejuvenating effects of the potion. All the bumps, bruises, and scars disappeared.

“Hoo wee, Zecora knows how to fix a pony up right.”

Scootaloo now felt the effects.

“Wow, I feel AWESOME!”

Scoots jumped in the air just as Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle stared at her. Their eyes wide open and mouths hanging while Melody fluttered behind them.

“What's wrong with you two?”

In unison they said,”SCOOTALOO YOU'RE FLYING!”

Sure enough when Scootaloo jumped she didn't come back down. Hovering at least 4 feet off the ground she started doing circles around the hotel room with Melody following close behind.

“I CAN FLY, WOOO HOOO!”

“Ok ladies,” Pin Point chimed in,”I think its time I take you home.”

“Yes.”

“Yeah.”

“Awesome, wait till Dash sees me.”

Reunion

Chapter 5
A Great Reunion

At the town hall three set of anxious ponies waited for what they figured would be an update on the whereabouts of three little fillies. The letter they received from Pin Point was very vague.

To the relatives of Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle,

I have very important news about your loved ones. After days and

nights of working I have finally located the three and will be returning

to ponyville. For now I would like to keep this info only between

immediate family. This is just so the girls don't feel overwhelmed and

the healing process can begin. We will arrive on the 3 o'clock train.

Sign,

Pin Point

P.S. Make sure to tell Ms. Pie no parties for at least a week.

(POV mode)

(Rarity)

Mother, father and I stood at the train station waiting for 3 o'clock. It was 2:50 and I could see that my parents and I all shared a level of nervousness. “I can hear the whistle its almost here,” said my father with a slight crack in his voice. I personally couldn't speak. Every time I tried a very sizable lump would form in my throat. My father was just holding my mom keeping her as steady as he could. 3 o'clock, if anything the train to ponyville was always on time. The train stopped with screeching wheels and a lot of steam. Once it cleared the conductor opened the door and walked out followed by Mr. Point. As he walked out I noticed two little fillies walking behind him. One was a white pegasus with a black mane the other a red earth pony with a sun hat on. The little white fillies then gesture to someone still on the train. As she walked out what I saw amazed me. It was Sweetie Belle, but not my little Sweetie Belle. She was a full grown mare, just as tall as me, and wearing her hair straight with the end curled. “Sweetie is that you?” I said tears impairing my vision.

“Mom, Dad, Rarity I've missed you so.” Sweetie exclaimed.

All four of us, mom, dad, Sweetie, and I all back together again. Hugs, kisses, and explanations of how we never gave up on trying to find you was expressed in the circle.

“Hello, I'm Melody.”

I looked up to see the little pegasus hovering over our group hug. Smiling at the little one I said,”Well hello to you little one and where is your mommy?”

“She's right there you're hugging her.”

My jaw hit the floor, mother fainted (good thing I keep my fainting couch with me for these occasions), and my father was at a loss for words. While fanning my mother with his straw hat he finally regained his ability to speak.

“Well how ‘bout that I'm a grandpa. Hey, get over here and give your papa a hug.”

Melody flew over to my father. She let out a squeal and a giggle as he started to nuzzle her cheek.

“Eeek, hehehehe your mustache is ticklish.”

As father started getting acquainted with his little grandchild and mother was still recovering on the chase lounge I turned to my sister and asked what happened. Sweetie Belle without hesitation or a tear explain to me what happen. Her abduction, to her molestation, and her impregnation. As well as the time spent on the onion farm. She was also happy to know that I never gave up on finding her and loved the design I inspired to make. My tears started to fall again,”like I said we're apple pie and you're safe now.”

(Big McIntosh)

Standing there with Apple Jack and Granny ah was as nervous as a long tail cat in a room full of rockin chairs. What would be the first thing ah would say? Would ah come up and hug her or wait till she hugged me. About a few other hundred questions rolled through my head when the squealin of the brakes and the engine lettin off steam broke me from mah thoughts. When the steam cleared I could see the conductor standing on the platform and that Mr. Point feller walking off the train. A pair of cute little red and white fillies followed by Sweetie Belle walked off. Then there she was standin a good 6 inches taller and a lot thinner than I remembered. Apple Bloom, her yellow coat and red hair still the same and her red bow now tied around her neck. As Bloom trotted towards us a streak of green and white zoomed past me and Apple Jack.

“Apple Bloom you're home!” Shouted Granny,”look at ya, why yer nothin but skin and bones.”

“Mah little sister is finally home,” said Apple Jack with tears fallin down her face.

“Eeyup”

“Ah missed you all so much,” said Apple Bloom all teary eyed.

We all talked about what happened and how we never gave up on hope to see her again. Apple Bloom in her best words explained what happened to her Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle. She went on to tell us about Ruby and how because of Mr. Point's challenge she's an orphan now.

“Don't you fret nun cause now you're with the Apple family so you'll always be takin care of.”

“Eeyup.”

“Sure tootin.”

“See Ruby ah told ya mah family would take care of ya.”

“Now let's get you home Apple Bloom and get some food inside ya. Looks like you haven't had a good meal in a month of Sundays.”

As we all hugged ah looked up at the sky ah finally let a tear fall and kissed Apple Bloom on the head,”you're safe now.”

(Scootaloo)

Seeing how the train was close to the Ponyville station I asked Pin Point if I could surprise Rainbow Dash.

“So how are you going to do that?” Pin point asked.

I told him I wanted to surprise her by flying in and catching Dash off guard. He agreed, so I jumped out the window and flew up behind some clouds. Melody was about to follow me but Sweetie Belle caught her in her magic and pulled her back in the cabin. I could hear Sweetie scolding Melody about trying to follow me. From my perfect hiding place I could see Sweetie Belle’s family, Apple Bloom's family, and Rainbow Dash with her mother and father standing on the platform. With a loud squeal and hiss the engine came to a stop. I watched as my two friends got off the train and was greeted by their love ones. I never knew that Granny Smith could move so fast.

“Where is she?” Dash asked taking to the air sounding aggravated.

“Now Dashie just be patient,” said Bow,”I'm sure she's coming”

I flew behind Dash and tapped her on the shoulder,”Hey Dash, wanna race?” Bow, Windy, and Dash turned around amazed to see me hovering over Dash's head.

“Squirt you can fly? Aw man, this is AWESOME!”

All at once I was put into a mid flight hug by all three. I told them about what happen over all those years. The good and the bad. Then I gave Rainbow the biggest hug and thank her taken care of that Wonder bolt jerk for me.

“Anything for you little buddy. I would never leave you hangin. You're safe now”

(Pin point)

After watching all the families reunited I felt a slight bit better about the choices I made. Sweetie Belle, Apple Bloom, and Scootaloo where all home and safe now. Yet with the list that I obtained from Tinker I knew there was a lot more to do and hopefully a lot more happy endings I could make. I guess maybe I could let that party pony have her party tomorrow.

“Really, I can have the ‘Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo, Apple Bloom welcome back to Ponyville party tomorrow?” Pinkie said bubbling over with joy.

“Yes Ms. Pie you can.”

“Party at my place tomorrow. This will be the greatest party EVER!”

(End POV mode)

The party went off well. Like any Pinkie Pie party would. “You realize I have to make up for 24 missed birthdays and a future cute ceanera,” said the party pony whizzing back and forth. A cup never went empty nor did a guest leave without a hefty piece of cake. Even Pin Point had his fair share of goodies. Before the night was over Hondo picked up a glass with his magic. He tapped it with a spoon to get everyone's attention.

“OK everyone, I would like to make a toast. To family members finally safe at home. To families that never gave up hope and never forgot. To new family. And most of all to Mr. Pin Point. Without you none of this would be possible. Love, life, and happiness. May you never run out. Cheers”

Everyone in the room raised their glass to Pin Point and he returned the gesture.

The party was over. All Families reunited. Pin Point sat outside the ponyville hotel smoking a cigar looking at the stars. He was allowing his eyes to get heavy when he heard a set of hoof steps coming towards him. Pin Point saw Apple Bloom coming up the path.

“Um, Mr. Pin Point could I talk to you for a moment?” Pin Point nodded and Bloom continued,”From what ah have seen you've been doing this job for a long time. A long time alone. So I figure you need someone to help you.”

“Oh really,”said Pin Point,”Let me guess, you're volunteering your services. Why you just got home.”

“Ah know,”Bloom said sheepishly,”You see when me and the others girls were younger we would help others to find their purpose. Now I want to help you to find others who have lost hope. Ah talked to mah family and they agreed.”

“Is that so,”Pin Point said taking another drag from his cigar,”I've never had an assistant and I don't think I'm ready for one right now.”

Feeling dejected Bloom turned away,”Ah understand.”

Pin Point got up from his seat stomped out his cigar and said,”However, I have been looking for a partner. Train leaves at 10:45 tomorrow. Don't be late.”

“Yes sir. Ah mean, sure thing partner.”

Ok we are in the home stretch.

epilogue

Epilogue

In the dungeon of Canterlot castle a black pegasus stares at a torch outside of his cell. For ten years now this has been his home. He thinks back to the days when soaring above the clouds was just as much apart of his life as breathing. Yet now all he can do is hover in his cell a few inches above the floor. Onyx finally finished his short workout, stretched is limbs, and laid on his cot just staring at the ceiling.

A clank of keys and a loud sound of hooves were coming closer to his cell. Onyx thought this to be strange. Though he didn't have any idea the time he knew it was too early for his meal. Besides if it was mealtime he would hear a set of hooves not just one pair. A guard walked in front of Onyx's cell and gave him a smirk.

“Can you believe this,” said the guard. “After ten years of total solitude someone wants to visit you. Well I guess Celestia’s sun does shine on a dog's but at least once.”

“Who?” Onyx asked with a look of shock on his face. He had given up on any relative wanting to see him after finding out what he had done along with his two compatriots. A flashback washed through the Pegasus's mind to the day of the trial. The judge sat there before him as the charges were read. Everything the judge said was nothing more than a mumble to Onyx. He was looking around at all who were attending. The princess's of day, night, and friendship, the five elements of harmony, the immediate Apple family, Rarity’s family, and four Wonderbolts who were staring daggers at the trio. When Onyx's ears finally tuned in just as he heard a faint sniffling come from his right. Out the corner of his eye he could see a couple holding each other. It was Onyx's mother and father. His father a midnight blue pegasus with a sky blue mane streaked with grey held in his arms a black pegasus mare with a silver mane crying.

“It is the decision of the court that you three will be sentence to at least five years for every child kidnapped, five years for every child molested, and seeing how we don't condone slavery in this court or anywhere that Celestia rules. Ten years for every child sold. This to be carried out at the end of this trial. May Faust have mercy on your souls.”said the judge as he pounded his gavel.

As the sound of the gavel rang through Onyx's head he could only think of one person who would want to see him after a decade of incarceration. ‘Mom,’ he said to himself. Maybe all the hate and embarrassment had finally melted away and she wanted to see her son at least one more time.

“Step right through here ma'am. First cell on your left,” said the guard.

“Thank you,” said the mare.

When Onyx heard the voice he didn't recognize it. The voice was too soft and too young to be his mother. Who was this coming to see him and why?

The mare, wearing a black hood stood in front of Onyx's cell and spoke.

“Hello, my name is Melody.” She said in a deadpan voice.

Onyx replied,”Hello, who are you and why are you here?”

Removing the hood to show her pure white coat and black mane she continued, “For five years I have debated about coming here to see you. After what my mother told me you did to her and her friends I felt nothing but anger. The fact that you impregnated her and sold her off without any remorse. The first six years of my life I thought a griffon was my father. If it wasn't for the fact that my mother was his sex slave I could say he was a very loving man and giving father.”

Onyx looked at her in confusion,”You make it seem like I know you and who your mother was.”

“Sweetie Belle.”

The moment the name was mentioned another flashback was brought before him. A pure white unicorn filly with mane that was three shades of purple that he kept for his own. Just long enough to leave a seed in her belly and now the fruits of his loins was standing before him.

“So,” Onyx said,”Now that you have seen me what do you want from me an apology.”

“No,” Melody said matter of factly,”I came to see you to satisfy my curiosity. My entire family said that I shouldn't even be here. However I also came to deliver a message from my mother.”

“Oh let me guess she wanted to say she hates me and wishes I rot in tartarus,” Onyx said with high sarcasm.

Melody plainly said,”No, she didn't. She said that she forgives you. For everything you put her, aunt Apple Bloom, and aunt Scootaloo through she forgives you. For the vile acts it took to conceive me she couldn't love me the way a mother should without forgiving you.”

“Well isn't that just ‘sweet’ of her,” Onyx said with a slight chuckle.

Melody's gaze went to pure rage her wings flared out as she stared into Onyx's eyes.”But don't you think for one BUCKING moment that any of us will EVER FORGET!”

The guard standing at the door rushed in and said,”Is everything OK in here ma'am?”

“Yes everything is fine. We are done here,” said Melody returning to her deadpan expression.

As Melody was about to leave she pulled out a picture and handed it to Onyx through the bars. On the picture was Melody a few years younger and her mom Sweetie Belle. Around Melody's neck was a first place ribbon.

“What's this?” Onyx asked.

Melody said,”It's me and mom up in Cloudsdale the day I won the Junior Flyers competition. Mom was so proud. Everyone there as well as a few Wonderbolts say I have what it takes to be one. I got my letter of approval last week so now i'm off to prove that I have what it takes.”

Onyx looked at the picture and just shrugged his shoulders as his daughter trotted away.

“Goodbye father.”

OK I finished it. I have to say for being a full time truck driver my first story was a personal goal. The reason why I did this story is because some sad stories in my opinion need a happy ending. The story,'The cutie mark crusader's new lives' was no exception. I had fun with this and I plan to write more while I'm on the road. As for you're safe now I'm done.

Happiness

1. Sweet Release

CHAPTER 1
A SWEET RELEASE

It was a long and hot walk for the pony, but after an hour he found himself at the outskirts of a very large onion farm. The pony’s mission, talk to a griffon by the name of Aldo to entice him on a very lucrative business venture. as the pony walked further he could see other griffons tending fields and giving the occasional scowl as he trotted by. The house the pony was looking for was off a good distance. The smell of onions getting stronger as the pony got closer. Finally reaching the house he was looking for. The pony knocked on the door and to his surprise a little white pegasus with a black mane answered the door.

“Hello, I’m Melody who are you?” said the pegasus filly.

“Well hello young one my name is Pin Point. Is your mommy or daddy here by chance?” replied Pin Point.

“MELODY!!! What have I told you about opening the door without permission!” said a very upset sounding mare voice from inside of the door.

The little pony rubbed her foreleg and with a very apologetic look on her face, “ Sorry mommy.”

“That’s ok now go finish reading your book,” said the Melody’s mother as she opened the door wider to reveal that she was a white unicorn with three shades of lavender in her mane. “Hello, is there something I can help you with?” she said.

“Greetings and salutations to you this fine day my name is Pin Point. I represent the Manehatten Produce Society, MaPS if you will. Our motto is ‘If MaPs don’t have it how will you find it?’ Yes, Yes corny I know but my boss tells me to say it everytime I entertain possible clients." Taking off his hat to show his pale blue mane underneath he asked, “By chance is the griffon of the house in?”

Pin Point was let in and guided to the living room. “Aldo is upstairs. He will be down momentarily. May I take your coat?” Said the unicorn mare.

“Yes, but only under one condition.”

“What.”

“You must tell me your name.”

With a slight smile she said,”Sweetie Belle.”

“Sweetie Belle is it. Well I am sure to remember that name,” Pin Point said with a kind smile.
As Pin Point handed Sweetie Belle his coat she got her first glimpse at the pony standing before her. A very muscular grey coated earth pony. Sweetie had to catch herself staring at Pin Point. He turned around to see Sweetie in a bit of a daydream and that’s when he saw the ring on her horn. Sweetie recovered from her trance, looked at Pin Point and slightly blushed as she fixed her mane to cover the ring.

Just then Aldo comes down the stairs with a perplexed look on his face. “Are you the representative that MaPS sent here to talk onions?”

“Yes sir that's me, Pin Point here to talk to you about a great business deal I sure you will not refuse.” He stated.

“Great we can talk business after supper. I hope you like onion soup,” said Aldo.

“Sir l….(growl),” Pin Point put a hooves across his stomach, “I guess that answers your question.”

The griffon laughed as he approach the earth pony. The two shook hooves and talons. It felt awkward but it was all in the line of business.

As the griffon and earth pony discuss business and profits during supper Pin Point couldn't help but notice Sweetie Belle and the way she presented supper. Making sure that everyone was served before eating herself. An occasional stare came across the diner table. When Sweetie eyes met up with Pin point she would quickly look down into her bowl. Aldo on the other hand wasn't paying attention to the staring contest. Instead he was beak first into his bowl.

Pin Point was the first to break the eating silence,”Your wife is an excellent cook.”

Aldo with a loud slurp put down his bowl and said,”M-my wi…..oh oh yeah wife. She is the best.” Aldo said blowing Sweetie Belle a kiss with a piece of onion hanging from his beak.

After supper Pin Point and Aldo walked into the living room as Sweetie Belle finished cleaning the kitchen and put Melody to bed. When Sweetie came back down she sat on the far side of the couch away from Aldo and started to read a fashion magazine. Aldo gave her a bit of a scowl, but returned his attention to Pin Point. Their main concern was on business right now. “So what would be the next step for my business to be ever more successful than what it is now,” Aldo stated.

Pin Point took a deep breath and said, “For that to happen we need to stop lying to each other.”

Aldo looked at Pin Point in pure confusion,”Lies? What lies?”

“First of all let me put your mind at ease,” stated Pin Point “My name is Pin Point. I don’t work for MaPS. My purpose in life is to find lost or missing things. Key, loose change, left socks, and in most cases lost or abducted ponies.”

Pin Point looked into the griffon eyes. He hit a nerve.

Pin Point continued,”See the cutie mark, the pin point circle. That means my business is to find lost ponies and let me tell you business is GOOD! So now I told you my lie your turn.”

Aldo said flatley,”I have no reason to lie. So what is your purpose here if you are looking for lost socks. We don't even wear socks.”

“I’m glad you asked that,” Pin Point said with a chuckle,”You see about 5 years ago 3 fillies just end up disappearing and no one knew what happened to them. Now about 4 years ago a break in the story came up to where an ex wonderbolt was found with a picture of the missing pony in a most unprovocative position.”

“Did they say who it was?” Sweetie Belle exclaimed

With a sad look on his face Pin Point said,”No sorry after the wonderbolt was arrested the case went cold again. However the pegasus got what he deserved,” Pin Point let out a wry chuckle the whole time looking at Aldo,” a rainbow maned member of the team beat him to an inch of his life. I mean cracked ribs, broke nose, and some other injuries I just can't think of right now. I'm sorry, I'm rambling now let's get back to your lie.”

Again Aldo replied,”What did I lie about?”

“Your relationship with Sweetie Belle here,” stated Pin Point,”you two aren't married. For one where is your wedding band Aldo? Unless griffons don't believe in wedding bands. Two look at the ring Sweetie Belle has on her horn. I can tell from here it's made of bronze with an amethyst jewel embedded inside. That's mostly used to keep a unicorn from using her magic. The evidence of the night was at supper not once did she levitate a bowl spoon or ladle. So let's get the truth out. Sweetie Belle is your slave and you are keeping her against her will and I am here to bring her home.”

Aldo laughed as tears started to fall from Sweetie Belle's face. She always hoped that one day someone would come along and help in her escape, however Pin Point would never be able to free her and Melody by himself.

Just then Pin Point pulled out a locket he had hidden around his neck. “Sweetie Belle catch,” Pin Point yelled as he tossed the locket just out of Aldo's reach. It landed in Sweetie's lap. As she picked it up she recognized it as the locket Rarity gave her for the last Sister Hoof Social the two sisters did together.

“I remember this,” Sweetie Belle said more tears coming from her eyes.

It was a gold heart shaped locket with a picture of Rarity and Sweetie Belle hugging each other smiling with ice cream all over their faces inside. Adjacent to the picture was an inscription, ‘To my first prize sister.’

“Rarity gave this to me after we lost the relay race at the social. I was feeling really bad and she gave me this,” said Sweetie with more tears,” I-I t-thought I lost……”

“Give me that,” just then Aldo grabbed the locket,” you don't need anything from your old life you have a good one, no a great one here with me. So Mr. Pin Point I do believe you have overstayed your welcome I think you should leave. Oh, and take this locket with you.

Aldo tossed the locket back at Pin Point who didn't flinch he caught the locket in his hoof. Pin Point took a deep breath and said,” When I leave Sweetie Belle and Melody will leave with me.” He looked at a clock on the wall and continued,” As a matter of fact we will be leaving in 15 minutes and you won't stop us. In fact you will open the door for us.”

Aldo laughed so hard he was short of breath. Recovering from his laugh fit he said,” And how are you so sure I'm going to do that?”

Pin Point smiled,”let me break it down for you. 1. In 15 minutes a signal will be transmitted to the princess of friendship letting her know my exact location. 2. Within 5 hours the 4 princesses of the land, 5 very angry elements of harmony, a squadron of wonderbolts, a dragon, and numbers of family members will be at your front door looking for blood. Now I know you're asking how can they know you and Sweetie Belle all the way out here. That's easy look at your talons.”

As Aldo looked at his talons they started to glow as well as Sweetie Belle's hooves.

“You see Mr. Aldo when you touched the locket you activated the locator spell,” said Pin Point with a straight face,”No matter where you go or try to hide you will be found and I would feel sorry for you if you lost your title as onion baron. However in 10 minutes it won't matter. Now I'm going outside to smoke one. I'll give you time to contemplate the situation. Remember 9 minutes.”

Pin Point put his hat and coat and stepped outside the house. Rummaging through his pocket he finds his favorite cigar and a match. As he's lights up he can hear slight murmurs through the house. Just then the door opens, out comes Sweetie Belle tears in her eyes, a small luggage in her mouth, and a sleep pegasus filly wrapped in a blanket on her back. Pin Point takes the luggage and puts it on his back.

“You're safe now”
