Chapter 1: The Beginning

The Infamous Life Of Blitz

~Chapter 1~

A young Pegasus flew as fast as his little wings could go through the halls of the Manehattan Hospital. He searched high and low for the room number. That was the only thing on his mind at that single moment. 'Room 006' the little colt thought to himself. As he searched high and low for the room, he was beginning to panic. Maybe he wouldn't be able to find the room. Maybe the room is already empty and he wouldn't see him again. Just when he about given up hope, a hoof touched him on the shoulder and pulled him around.

"What are you doing roaming around little one?" said a purple mare. The colt seen that this mare was a member of the hospital. "I'm...I'm looking for my daddy." he said with a hesitant voice as he looked left and right. The mare's smile slowly faded away and looked at the young colt. He was, what looked to be at least, five years old. The colts coat was white and had a little dirt on it considering his flight to the hospital. His mane was a chestnut color that was styled up and layed backwards. The colts tail was the same color, but shorter and in a messy style. And the colts eyes were wide and brown as he looked straight at the mare with a scared look in his eyes.

"Well sweetheart, whats your daddy's name?" "Technician" he said now with a shaky voice "I think hes in room 006". The mares expression was now of a little filly about to go into a haunted stable. The colt looked at her confused. The mare shook her head. "I know who your looking for child. Follow me." she nugged the colt in front of her and she proceeded to lead him to room 006.

As much as the colt didn't know who the mare was, he knew he could trust her. If it wasn't for her nurse uniform, he would of flew away. As his mother always said, Never trust a stranger my son.

They finally made it to the room that the colt was looking for. On a golden plaque on the door revealed what he was looking for. 006. "Your dad is in here sweetie. Ill be back to see how you two are doing." said the purple mare as she opened the door and started walking down the hall. The colt stood in place for a few seconds to realize that his father was in the room. He stepped in. The first thing the colt saw was a adult brown colt in a hospital bed with an IV and an EKG hooked up to the stallion. The colt looked at the child. He cough and then spoke in a low smokey voice. "Blitz. Hey buddy." Blitz stood in place. As he looked at his father in the bed he felt a huge pain sweep over him. Not a pain that one would feel when injured, but one of sadness. He walked forward. "Daddy?" he said with a shaky voice. The colt shook his head. " Hello son." Blitz flew up onto the hospital bed and found a comfortable spot to lay down. "Dad. Whats wrong with you?" he said. The colt coughed into his shoulder and spoke. "I'm sick Blitz. I've been sick for a while now. This is the most I have been sick for in a long time." Blitz looked at the heart monitor as he was trying to find out what was really going on. "Why are you sick daddy?" he said as he looked into the stallion's bloodshot eyes. " I have a case of the flu is all son." he said as he yet again coughed and was now starting to get the sniffles. The colt knew he had seen this type of illness before. "Did mommy have the same type of flu daddy?" The stallion looked at the monitors as he stalled to give his son an answer. Blitz looked at his dad as he could see the tears now forming in his eyes. "Yeah." he said in a sad tone. Blitz scooted closer to his father. When he found a comfortable spot, Blitz rested his head on his dads chest. All that was heard in the room was the sound of beeping and the smokey breaths that came from his father.

At this moment the same nurse Blitz saw earlier walked in. "Mr. Technician?" she asked. Both Blitz and his father looked at the mare. "Mr. Technician, we have some news for you. But I think your son should not hear what I have to say." The stallion shook his head. Blitz looked at his father. "Daddy? What is she talking about?" he said with a worried look on his face. Technician stroked his coat and answered in a dim voice. "She just wants to tell me something really quick son. Go outside and wait until you can come in again, OK." Blitz shook his head slowly and hopped down from the hospital bed. "This will only take a second sweetie" said the nurse as she nugged Blitz outside. Blitz looked back in the room for a moment. He seen how his dad was not acting like himself. Technician looked to be scared right before the nurse closed the door.

The colt backed away from the door and observed the hallway he was waiting in. He seen a whole bunch of ponies. So many ponies he didn't even know. Blitz was starting to panic yet again. He didn't like being around colts and mares he didn't know about. The potential fear of being kidnapped always hung within the balance of his youthful mind. Blitz started to trot around the building. He looked for a place where he would be alone and not have to be noticed by any of the other ponies. He later found a small room with a name on the door that read 'janitors closet'. He entered and closed the door. It was dark inside the room and Blitz tried to find the nearest light switch. He felt around the room. He felt alot of objects. Cold, hot, smooth, rough, spongy, soapy, and various other items. Finally he felt a switch. Blitz flipped it and the lights turned on.

As Blitz turned around he was greeted to an open room. It was small but it was good enough for the young colt. He trotted over to the cleanest corner in the room, stretched out his wings, and sat down. Blitz thought to himself. Was his father going to be OK? Will he get any better? Is he going to die? All these thoughts were clouding the young colts mind as all he could do was weep in his own confusion. Blitz tried not to be loud as he sobbed to himself, for he was scared somepony would come in and catch him.

As he was crying he heard hoof steps. He stopped and kept quiet. Blitz looked around the room for somepony. "Are you OK?" said a voice. Blitz stood up. "Hello? W...Who's there?" Their was movement. Some boxes moved around. Blitz backed away, not trusting who it was behind them. It could be a stranger, or a ghost, or even a monster. The figure appeared.

It was a filly about the same age as Blitz. She had a cyan coat with a long rainbow mane and tail. Blitz looked at the filly with confusion. "Are you going to answer my question?" she said concerned. Blitz stalled to answer. He wasn't sure what to say. This was the first filly who actually talked to him. Her pink eyes stared straight at Blitz. The filly's gaze felt like it was staring right into Blitz's soul. The colts mind then went blank. The filly giggled. "Are you just gonna stand there or are you gonna say something?" she said in a voice that pierced Blitz's heart. "Uh....I...I...." he stuttered. "You. You, what?" said the filly. "I don't talk to strangers." Blitz said in a shy voice. The filly looked at the colt in confusion. Then she spoke. "Oh. My bad. My name is Rainbow Dash. But my friends call me RD. Whats your name?" Knowing the filly's name now he felt more comfortable to talk to her. "Blitz. My name is Blitz." he said in a better more heard voice. "Nice name. Sounds cool." she said as she punched him lightly. "See we are no longer strangers. So, what are you doing in here?"

"I wanted to get away from all the ponies out in the hall. I really don't like to talk to ponies I don't know." Blitz said. Dash nodded her head as she walked around the room observing all the equipment. "I see. You're really shy huh?" Blitz nodded and looked around the room then back at Dash. "What are you doing in here?" he asked the cyan Pegasus. "I'm in here because my dad is in this hospital because of a flying accident. He broke his wing and he is getting it fixed and he is doing pretty good right now. I got bored after he fell asleep, so I decided to start walking around this place. That's when I seen the cool stuff in here and I decided to stick around this place. I was almost caught coming in here so I came in with the lights off and hid. The doctor looked around but he didn't see me. That's when he left and then you showed up." She stretched her wings and sat in the same spot Blitz did earlier. Blitz walked up beside her. "My dad is here too." he said as he sat down.

Dash looked at the colt. "Really? What for?" she asked with a curious look on her face. Blitz looked down at his hooves. "Hes sick. I don't know how bad, but I hope he is alright." He kicked a small piece of brick across the room with his forehoof. "Oh." said the filly. She looked at the brick Blitz kicked. "Well, I hope he gets better." she said in a reassuring tone. "I do too." It was quiet for a few seconds. The silence was broken with the sound of Blitz's voice. "So, what do you wanna do when you grow up?" Dash looked at Blitz and smiled. "You know who the Wonderbolts are right?" Blitz shook his head. Dash stood up and turned to face him. "What do you mean no?" she said in a very surprised voice. Blitz recoiled, scared that he may of made her mad. " The Wonderbolts are only the greatest fliers in all of Equestria! They do tricks, put on shows, and put their audiences in aww!"  she said making a expression of a pony surprised from a Wonderbolt performance. Blitz giggled at the filly's silly face. "They sound pretty cool." Blitz said. Dash flew up off the ground, and she was hovered in the air. "They do a whole bunch of moves!" the excited filly said in a mid back flip. Dash showed the colt all the moves that she knew the Wonderbolts would always pull off. After she showed him their famous move 'The Tornado Twirl' she landed back on the ground, dizzy from all the spins, twists, and turns. She was panting. "That's what... I wanna do when... I grow up." Blitz was amazed at the filly. She had such an excitement for the Wonderbolts, she actually practices moves by them.

"So...What do...you wanna be...when you grow up...?" Dash said still trying to catch her breath. Blitz thought. He always wanted to be a football player. He loved the game and how his favorite team always won. "A football player. I wanna play football." He answered. Dash finally caught her breath and sat down. "Football huh?" she said with a chuckle, "You colts and your sports." They both laughed and giggled. Blitz enjoyed one of the first friend he ever had. He actually felt something else for her. He didn't know what it was, but it made him feel good inside. Right when they were about to change the subject, the door opened. It was another nurse.

"What are you two doing here?" she said in a strict voice. Blitz and Dash sat and said nothing. The nurse tsked, "You two shouldn't be in here. Get outta here before I tell your parents where you two have been." Both Blitz and Dash's eyes lit up and the two flew outta the closet and into the hallway. "Run along you two. Your parents must be worried sick."

Blitz then realized about his dad. "Oh No!" said the colt. Dash looked at Blitz. "What is it?" she said concerned. "Dash, my dad! I forgot I was suppose to go back and see whats wrong with him! I gotta go now!" Blitz turned around and started to trot to room 006. "Wait!" Dash called out to Blitz. He stopped and turned around. Dash galloped to Blitz. As she caught up to him she embraced him in a hug. Blitz was shocked at first considering that the filly was showing this kind of affection. Usually his mother and father gave him a hug, but being hugged by a filly he just met, it didn't make since to him. But he didn't care. He returned with a friendly hug back. Dash spoke, "Wanna hang out after you see how your dad is doing?" Blitz smiled and broke the hug. "Defiantly." he said. He turned away and trotted back to see his father.

As Blitz approached the room, something was amiss. The door was open and their were sounds of beeping. Not the beeping he heard earlier. These beeps were slower, more distant. Blitz entered to see his father still lying in the spot where he was. "Daddy?" Blitz called out. The brown stallion responded. "Hey Buddy. Where did you go?" he asked. But he sounded more lighter. More quieter. "I went to go use the bathroom." Blitz lied. He knew his father would be disappointed if he knew where he was. "What did the nurse say?" The stallion sighed. "Come here Blitz." he said adding a cough at the end of his sentence. Blitz flew up besides his father. He put his hoof around Blitz. "Blitz." he said in a low voice. "Blitz. I'm dying." Blitz felt that huge pain he felt earlier return. As if his coat faded away a little. "D...Dying...?" he said in a shaky voice. His father shook his head, with tears forming in his eyes. "No. No." Blitz said denying what his father said. "You cant die daddy." "Blitz. Buddy. Its my time. I have been called. Its OK. I wont be alone. Ill have your mother with me." he said now sounding a little light headed. All Blitz could do was listen to what his father had to say. There was nothing he could do. He started to cry. "Blitz. Pleases don't cry." Technician said trying not to cry. "Listen to me." He lifted Blitz chin so he could look at him while he spoke. "Your gonna be moving in with your aunt and sister. The nurse is making the arrangements now." Blitz pushed his fathers hoof away and looked down now crying his eyes out. "B..B..But D..Daddy..." "Blitz. Ill be fine. For now, I want you to take of your family. Your the man of the family now. Promise me. Promise me you'll take care of them and you'll never forget about me."

Blitz looked at his father in his eyes. He knew his father felt the same pain he was feeling. "I..I Pr..Promise." Blitz said in his shaky voice. His father whipped the tears in Blitz's eyes and pulled him into a hug. Blitz couldn't believe he would lose his father. He has taken care of him ever since his mother died. They shared so much together. From when Blitz could first fly, to the time he could talk in full sentences. The memories rushed throughout the young colts mind as each moment made him cry more and more. The last thing he felt from his father was a kiss on his head and then his tight hug slowly become less tighter. Then the moment came, when the beeps on the IV was nothing but one long beep.

That moment made Blitz wanna never leave his fathers side. He just wanted to lie there and sleep with his dad. As Blitz cuddled with his father the nurse came in and took Blitz away. Blitz struggled to get back to him but he was too weak. As Blitz was escorted outta the room he seen one pony standing outside the room. It was her the filly with the rainbow mane, cyan coat, and pink eyes. Rainbow Dash ran after Blitz, but was stopped by the other nurses and doctors. Blitz couldn't say a word. He was too heartbroken to say even one word.

So he watched as the doctors escorted his father outta the room and down the hall, he seen his closest friend he ever had taken away from him, and he knew that he would never see his father or his best friend ever again. The nurse then gave Blitz to his aunt, but he was still struggling. His aunt had to calm Blitz down. He was outta control. As they left the hospital Blitz had calmed down enough to fly with his aunt to her home in Las Pegasus.

Blitz looked back at the doors. He seen her. He seen Rainbow Dash. Blitz turned around and started to walk back to the doors, but was his aunt called his name. Blitz gave Dash one long look. As he looked into her eyes, he knew she was sorry for him and she wanted to know where he was going. As much as Blitz wanted to talk to her one more time, he just turned back around and flew off with his aunt into the night sky. He hoped one day he would meet her again. "One day." Blitz whispered to himself, "One day."

Chapter 2: A Day On The Grid Iorn

The Infamous Story Of Blitz

~Chapter 2~

It was a peaceful day in the town of Las Pegasus. The town was the same everyday. It was hot, ponies came to gamble, and it always had the smell of dream being crushed. But for one Pegasus, it was where he lived. It's been ten years after the little colt lost his father and his one best friend. But our friend has dealt with alot of things after the death of this father.

At the age of seven, Blitz went to school for the first time. He wasn't really the outspoken one of the school and wasn't the popular colt in the school. But it was nothing Blitz couldn't handle. As he finished school at the age of twelve, believe it or not, Blitz found his first lover. Her name was Sunflower, and she meant the world to Blitz. They met when Blitz crashed right onto her when he was attempting to pull off one of his tricks he had been practicing. It was love at first sight for the two of them. They spent most of their time together. If it was going out to eat dinner, or just simply laying on the hills and watching the clouds go by. Blitz finally found happiness in his life. They are still going out to this day as a matter of fact.

By the age of thirteen Blitz made it on his town's football team. He played as middle line backer after a transition from running back. But Blitz was finally doing what he wanted to do ever since he was young. He played football. Every day he tackles colts twice the size of him and he reads plays like a charm. He knew this is where he wanted to be. But the strange part was, he didn't have a cutie mark yet. It was no helmet, no football, not even a yard line mark. Just a plain white flank. He didn't know what his special talent was, but he would find it someday. But when thing were starting to look up to the colt. Things seemed to go straight down hill for the poor Pegasus.

Just last year his aunt had a heart attack and passed away. Blitz couldn't believe that just nine years ago his father died, and now his final guardian died. It was heart wrecking for the young Pegasus. Soon after her funeral, Blitz's sister, Pom-Pom, announced that she was getting married and she would be moving out of Equestria. Blitz couldn't go to his sister wedding. He was afraid if he would show up, more ponies would die. He thought maybe his special talent was death, and a scythe would appear on his flank at any given moment. Soon after his sister moved away and Blitz was all alone in Las Pegasus, in his aunts will she stated that her home and furniture would be given to Blitz as a gift. Now, at the young age of fifteen, Blitz had a home and that it was all to himself, Sunflower would be able to stay with Blitz longer. The two were happy together, and it seemed that they would stay together for the rest of their lives. Until that one day. The present day. The day where it seemed it was the second worse day of his life.

It all started out at his football practice. Our Pegasus was already late to his practice and he got an earful from his coach. So Blitz had to get his pads on and he had to get on the field to start his practice. As soon as he was done he ran out on the side line to get a drink of water. Blitz was dressed up in his football pads and had his helmet on the ground next to him. The white Pegasus took one final drink of water before putting on his helmet and started to practice. Today Blitz was working on 7 on 7. Which was where there were seven colt on offense, and seven colts on defense. It was mostly a passing drill which Blitz defiantly needed to work on was pass coverage.

As Blitz got into his huddle he seen what he was working with. The colts he talked to the most on defense was a mere two stallions. One was Renegade. He was a corner who was both fast and was good at covering a receiver, but he could never seem to catch a ball. Then their was a colt named Shinning Armor. Now he was the stud of our defense. Sure Blitz could tackle stallions twice his size, but SA was bigger, taller, and stronger that Blitz could ever be. If he caught the ball on defense, he could take on five stallions at once before bringing him down. But Instead of fun times, Blitz needed to focus on the practice and not remember any names. He got the call from coach. 4-3, Cover 4. Blitz made the call to his defense. And in unison the broke the huddle. "Ready to kick some offensive ass, Blitz?" Renegade said with pads covering up his blue coat. Blitz looked over at him and starred at his brown eyes. "Ready to catch an interception, Ren?" Blitz said teasing him and his stone hoofs. They smiled and got to their position.

The offense broke and the quarterback walked up to the line of scrimmage. Now Blitz has seen alot of quarterbacks in his past years playing, but none were better for Las Pegasus than Magicka. The star quarterback of the team. That green unicorn was probably the one colt Blitz actually despised the most out of all the players on the team. He hated his stupid smile after he shows off the defense. Even if he scores against us in practice he just gives me that smile. That wide, stupid smile. He got down to start the play. "Down! Set!" he said as he sent a colt in motion. Blitz watched the colt in motion and followed him.

"Blue 50, Blue 50. Hike!"

He dropped back with the ball levitating next to him. Blitz followed the receiver he kept his eyes on and stuck to him like glue. But when Magicka threw to the guy Blitz was covering, Blitz seen his chance to intercept the ball for his defense. The white Pegasus dove to seek his catch, but he missed it. The ball was just inches to his grasp and his receiver caught the ball. Blitz fell on his facemask as he skid five yards toward the sideline. As he got up he seen Shinning Armor cream him. Blitz looked at Magicka and he gave him the disgusted smile. As he seen that smile Blitz seen he got some grass in his facemask, and he had to pick it out as he walked to the huddle.

"What the hell was that all about, Blitz? That should of been yours." Shinning Armor said as he cracked his neck to get loose after his hit. "I don't know what happened their guys. But it wont happen again." Blitz said as he was getting the next call from his coach. "Same call." he said to his defense. They broke the huddle at the same time the offense did. Magicka looked at our formation. He checked. "Check 76, Check 76!" he yelled and his offense responded by changing their formation. No colt was over Blitz so all he had to do was watch the QB's eyes and protect the middle of his field. "Down! Set!" Magicka got down in his stance.

"Green 18, Green 18. Hike!"

He dropped back and Blitz watched his eyes. He looked left, Blitz moved left. He looked right, Blitz moved right. Magicka was still looking for a colt to throw it to. Blitz figured he would of been sacked already, but then again he did always get outta tough situations. Finally the green pegasus found a colt and threw it. Renegade was covering him but he slipped and his receiver caught it and he was running straight for the middle of the field. Blitz saw his opportunity and took it. When he came up to his prey he chopped his hoofs so if he would juke him he could tackle him. Of course the receiver took the bait and he got smoked by Blitz. The white pegasus got up shacking his head in victory. The reciever got up and gave Blitz a dirty look. Blitz looked at him and smiled as he was congratulated by the other players on defense for a nice tackle.

"All day, baby!" the white Pegasus said cocky "I'm here all day!" He turned around to call the next play for his defense. "MLB Blitz Right, Cover 4." They broke. Blitz wondered why his name was Blitz. Probably because he loved to blitz alot on defense. The offense broke and came up to the line.

Magicka lined up. "Down! Set!" Blitz wanted to hit Magicka so bad, but if he did he would get in a huge amount of trouble. Blitz had to simply run up to Magicka and tap his foreleg.

"Red 30, Red 30! Hike!"

Magicka dropped back. Blitz ran up to Magicka to tap his foreleg. But when Blitz got to him, Magicka put his helmet and shoulder pad right into our friend. The hit was pretty hard considering it made Blitz get swept off his hoofs and immediately hitting the ground with great force. Blitz got the wind knocked out of him, and he watched as Magicka was still up and he passed the ball. Blitz got up slowly and he headed to the sidelines to catch his breath. "Talk smack to my receiver again, I'll break your damn skull! Even with your damn helmet on!" the green unicorn said as he stood in his place and gave him a smile as Blitz limped off the field.

By the time Blitz got to the sideline the practice was announced over and the player got to go home for tomorrows practice. But most of the players stayed to take a shower in the locker room. Blitz wanted to just go home and relax with Sunflower waiting for him. But Blitz knew if he went home without taking a shower yet again, Sunflower would kill him. So the white pegasus walked in the locker room to put his pads in his locker.

"You alright man?" Renegade asked as he was taking his shoulder pads off. Blitz opened his locker. "Yeah. Im fine. Just got the wind knocked outta me is all."  Shinning Armor was next to Blitz as he was getting his towel to go take his shower. "You got your ass knocked down is what happened to you. Your lucky it was Magicka that trucked you. If that was me, you probably would be dead." he said as he threw his towel over his back. Blitz unbuckled his straps to his shoulder pads.

"Yes, Armor. I know if you were our quarterback and that happened I would be eating out of a tube in the hospital. I know, I get it. Ive heard it a thousand time from you." Armor shook his head, closed his locker, and headed for the showers. "Blitz, Armor was just kidding. Why do you always take things so seriously?" Renegade commented as he too was getting his towel to get in the shower. Blitz sighed and took his shoulder pads off. "Because it gets annoying after you hear same thing everyday over and over again." Blitz untied his strings to his practice pants. He quoted Armor but with a mocking voice. "Oh. Blitz. If that was you out there and I was quarterback, you would of been dead." Blitz groaned. "Give me a break. Like seriously. That joke is starting to get old. Lets grow up and mature some. Celestia damn it."

Renegade just closed his locker and sighed as he made his way to the showers. Blitz did indeed hate being always judged. There was nothing in the Known World that got on Blitz's nerves than ponies making fun of him. But Blitz just shook it off and proceeded to head do the showers to get washed up to get to his marefriend back at his house.

As he entered, he was lucky enough to get Magicka in the shower. "Perfect." Blitz whispered to himself. He entered the shower and started to bathe himself hoping not to have a conversation with the green unicorn. But right when Blitz thought about avoiding him, he heard a voice that sounded like claws on a chalkboard. "So how was the dirt, Blitz? I heard it was nice and hard." Magicka commented on his earlier domination over Blitz. The other colts in the shower laughed. Blitz kept quiet. "Hey!" Blitz got hit with a bar of soap. "Did you hear me!" the unicorn said in a more angry tone. "Yes." Blitz said in a light voice. "What!" the unicorn in a more hateful voice. Blitz turned around. "Yes, I heard you." Blitz answered in a much louder voice. Magicka smiled at Blitz.

"Why do you even play football, Blitz? You are better off on the bench. Oh. I actually stand corrected. You have yet to play in one full game!" Magicka laughed and was later joined in by the other football players. Blitz hated it, but it was true. For how good he played the coach just never gave Blitz a chance to show how he really can do out on the field. Blitz just turned around and resumed his wash up. "Plus, you don't even have your cutie mark yet. Can you even get more ridiculous?" Magicka said as he looked at his football on his flank and laughed. Everypony did the same, as Blitz was the only one without a cutie mark. It was good that Blitz was in the shower. Because if he wasn't the team would see that Blitz was crying.

"Just quit, Blitz. It would be better for you to just stay off the team than take up room on the bench." the green unicorn said as he got his towel to dry off. Blitz just looked at the wall in front of him and kept his mouth shut, as he tried to keep his sad inhales to himself.

As the green unicorn left, it seemed that the entire locker room was empty. Blitz just sat on the bench in his teams locker room. He just wanted to sit there and not move. The comment of him not being good enough for anything always stuck with him ever since he joined the team. But Blitz couldn't let that comment get to him. He just needed to show coach and the other players that he could play. But by todays performance, he may never reach that day. Blitz just sighed and walked out of the locker room. "Just another day on the grid iorn." Blitz said to himself. He took a deep breath and flew off toward his house to see his marefriend waiting for him. At least nothing can go wrong with him and Sunflower. Right?

Chapter 3: Was It Really True Love?

The Infamous Life Of Blitz

~Chapter 3~

As Blitz finally made it to his house, he arrived with a nice hard crash right on the sidewalk. He got tangled up with a flock of birds and lost control in his flight. Usually a pegasus would be able to recover after a minor bump with a flock of birds, but Blitz really didn't practice on his flight.

He was way to busy trying to find a second job, or he was too sore from all the hard work from football, or just down right wasn't in the mood to practice his flight. Sometimes it was all of the above. The one time he actually tried to practice his flight was a few years ago, when he lost control and ran into his mare he is still with today. If it wasn't for his screw up, he would of been one of the most depressed ponies in the known world. He even thought he could be as clumsy as that one mare everypony kept talking about. It was a mare that had bubbles for a cutie mark. They called her Ditzy Doo, or Derpy Hooves or something like that.

But Blitz could care less about a pony being as clumsy as he was at flying. As he crashed he banged his head off the grass. Lucky for him that happened, or else he would be dead already. But as Blitz got up he thought he sprained his hoof. He moved it around to see if he had control over it, in that which he did. It barley hurt so he assumed that he just hit it a little hard.

"Celestia damn it," he muttered under his breath, "Those assholes of the sky always get in my damn way." Blitz whipped off the feathers he had on him. He even spat some out at he ground, for about maybe two birds, so he though, smoked him in the mouth. He gagged for one feather was at the back of his throat, but he managed to get it out with one swift punch to his gut. He coughed a couple of times before he started to make his way to his front door.

As he opened the door he was expecting Sunflower to come and start giving him hugs and kisses. Instead it was really quiet. Blitz called out to his lover to see if she was home. Their was no answer. He called out again this time asking if she was home. Still no answer. Knowing this, Blitz just decided to grab a case of his favorite apple cider and went to sit on his couch and relax for today was one tough day for our friend. He grabbed the remote and he changed it to the news to see what was going on around his neighborhood. He sighed.

This was the third week in a row where he didn't go anywhere. The last time he remembered he had gone somewhere was with Sunflower to that fancy restaurant downtown. It bothered Blitz but at the same time he really didn't care. He loved getting out of the house every once in a while, but at the same time he just wanted to hang around the house and relax. He could admit that he was pretty lazy, but at other times he can describe himself to be quite the active pegasus in all of Las Pegasus.

Since he was alone Blitz felt like doing something he hasn't really done in a long time. Blitz looked around his house to see if somepony was in.

No pony was in sight.

He took his hoof and he went down and grabbed hold of his manhood. Hell, Blitz hasn't done this in a long time because Sunflower found it to be disgusting. He breathed a sigh of relief. "Now this is how you relax on a Friday." he said with a smile on his face. Blitz leaned his head back in total relaxation and closed his eyes.

Suddenly, Blitz noticed something when his eyes were closed. He felt like there was a shadow over him. He didn't wanna open his eyes, for this was a total relaxation moment for him, but he didn't like the feeling that someone was probably watching him as he had a grip of his crotch. Blitz had to decide. Either open your eyes and see if anyone's there and possibly ruin a complete and absolute perfect relaxation moment, or forget about it and just keep on keeping on. Blitz decided to go with option two. So Blitz just resumed to lounge on his couch with his hoof in his crotch area. He smiled. But then he heard a little gasp. Blitz knew it wasn't one from the TV, but one in real life.

Blitz opened his eyes and seen Sunflower standing right behind the couch with her mouth agape. "Oh." Blitz said aqwardly, "This uh...this isn't really what it looks like. I was just uh..." he thought of an excuse to give her. He didn't want her to think that he was pleasuring himself, nor did he wanna say he was just putting it down there just to relax. 'Think Blitz think' "I was just scratching it, I swear." he said with a blush of embarrassment. Sunflower looked at Blitz. She shook her head. Blitz knew that in those green eyes that she could see through him like a window.

"Aren't you suppose to be at that job interview today?" she said not even noticing that Blitz's hoof was in his nether region. He let go and cleared his throat. "Wha...What now sweetheart?"

Sunflower trotted towards the window and looked out. "Your job interview. With the weather patrol. Remember?" Blitz thought about it. He remembered the company giving him a call and telling him to meet on Friday. Today was Friday, but they also said to meet on the 16th. And today was the 9th. "No. That's next week, babe. Why ask?" He said as he got up from the couch and stretched out his wings. Sunflower tsked. "What about the other one. The interview for that job on the farm out in Phillydalphia." she said as if she was nagging. Blitz's eyes lit up. He remembered them calling and saying they needed help. Blitz forgot about it. He was suppose to go right after his practice, and it was three hours after his practice.

"Oh. That I kinda...." Blitz said nervously. Sunflower looked at him as if a dog had torn up a newspaper in the living room. "You forgot didn't you." she said in a stern voice. Blitz looked down. Sunflower sighed. "Really? How the hell could you forget something like that damn it!" The sound of Sunflower yelling made Blitz back up a little. Blitz looked at her. "Babe, I'm sorry." he said. The orange mare flipped her green mane and shook her head. "Your sorry? Is that all you have to say for yourself? Sorry?!"

Blitz knew Sunflower was pissed at him. He stayed quiet as he just stared her in the eyes.

She sighed and trotted to her bedroom. Blitz followed hoping he could turn her emotions around. They both entered her room. "Babe, we are still good. I still have that job interview for the weather patrol." Sunflower looked at Blitz with anger in her eyes. "Blitz! This is the third job interview you missed! I cant handle two jobs on my own! And your little football gig you got going on is nowhere near how much I make! You and your damn forgetting about things is getting on my fucking nerves!" she said as he turned back around with her forelegs crossed.

Blitz came up right beside her as he sat down with her. He put a hoof on her shoulder only to be pushed away. "Don't touch me." she said as she turned away from Blitz. He never seen her this mad before. "And that's another thing." she turned around. "You act like you care about me but you don't ever show it. EVER!" she said as she got up and walked out of her room. Blitz was confused. What he hell was wrong with her? Why is she all bitchy? Blitz got up and followed her.

"What the hell is your problem tonight?!" he said as he followed her into the kitchen. She turned around. "Whats my problem?" she stopped and trotted up to our white colt. "Whats my damn problem?! My problem is your dumb ass!" she yelled as she pushed Blitz. "You are so stupid when it comes to real life, Blitz! The only thing you care about is football, and the truth is you suck at the damn sport!" Blitz was now getting pissed. He wasn't liking her attitude at the moment. "Why are you talking about me not caring about you?! I come here everyday to make you happy!" he now yelled at his marefriend. Sunflower laughed sarcastically. "Oh, you do, do you?! What about yesterday?! What about last week?! Where the fuck were you then, huh" she screamed.

"I had football! I was beat to shit! I was tired!" Blitz said as he pointed toward his bedroom.

"You were tired?!" she turned around for a moment. Then turned back around. "You really couldn't take one measly second of your worthless life to say I love you!? That's really how worthless you are!?"

Blitz was baffled. He did always say he loved her. "I always said I loved you!" he yelled.

"You never show it you worthless bastard!" Blitz couldn't believe it. She never spoke to Blitz like this before. Sunflower sighed. "Listen, Blitz. I'm starting to get sick of your shit! Everyday its the same thing for you! Come home, shower, sit on that damn couch, and go to bed! You don't do shit around here anymore!"

Blitz was at a loss of words. He didn't know what to say. He was just too surprised at how Sunflower would just randomly start arguing at him for no apparent reason. "Yet you stand there and say you do shit around here!" Sunflower said as she walked back into her room. Blitz knew something was amiss. There is no way Sunflower would just start yelling at him for no apparent reason. He had to see what she was really trying to say. He flew to her bed room.

"What are you trying to tell me Sunflower?" Blitz said now in a gentile voice as he landed on her bedroom's carpet floor. Sunflower sat on her bed just looking out her window. "Babe?" he said as he started to trot forward.

"Blitz..." she responded in a gentle tone.

"Blitz. I'm saying I'm leaving."

Blitz froze in place as soon as he heard the last word of her sentence. He shook his head. "Come again?" he said trying to make sure she actually meant what she said. The orange mare turned around and looked at Blitz.

"I said I'm leaving you. I've been talking to a unicorn on your football team, and I decided to go stay with him."

Blitz felt his soul actually almost lift right outta him. He stood in the same spot for about a few seconds. "You....You....Leave....For....Another....Stallion...." Blitz said as he was almost on the brink of losing himself. Sunflower shook her head and flew out of her room. Blitz thought about what she said. 'I've been talking to a unicorn on your football team.' Unicorn. Blitz felt his eyes sink into his head. He turned around and flew to where Sunflower was. He stood in the hallway as he seen Sunflower with her suitcase in her mouth.

"Who is he?" Blitz said in a hoarse whisper. Sunflower looked at him.

"His name is Magicka, and he is a far better stallion than you." she said as she started to put her scarf on.

Blitz worst fear became a reality. His own marefriend who he was with for three long years, now was leaving him. What made it worse for our white pegasus is that she left him for the one colt he displeased the most. "How long?" Blitz said in a shaky voice. Sunflower looked back at him with a face of confusion. Blitz lost it when he looked into her eyes. "How long have you been doing this!!!" he screamed in sadness. The orange mare looked down.

"I've been talking to him for six months now. We are perfect for each other."

Blitz felt pain everywhere. Both of sadness and pain. "Your making a big mistake Sunflower!" he screamed yet again. Sunflower opened the door. She looked over her shoulder.

"I'm know I'm making the right decision Blitz. I'm sorry, but I gotta do this. For me." Blitz fell to his knees on both his fore and hind legs. "But I'm yours Sunflower. I'm your Blitz." he said as he stared at Sunflower. The mare stepped out onto the front porch and turned around.

"You'll never be the Blitz I use to know! You'll always be a loser! For the rest of your life!"

As the mare said those last words to the colt she slammed the door, knocking a picture of Blitz and Sunflower off the wall. Blitz watch as it shattered in half.

It was then silent.

There were no sounds. Literally.

In the condition our friend was in was to much for him to handle. Blitz was in an absolute hole of anger, confusion, and sadness. He laid there and just stared at the door. Ten minutes passed as he finally started to move. As Blitz got up on his hooves, he looked around. It seemed like a much darker place as he walked around his house. The first place he went into was his ex-marefriend's room. He walked up to her mirror and stared into it. He looked like a mess. It seemed his face got darker and he could see really dark circles around his eyes. He just stared into that mirror. Looking at how much of a wreck he looked like.

Blitz then lost it.

He turned and kicked the mirror, and it shattered. The white pegasus started destroying her room. He left nothing standing or hanging . All the furniture was crushed and all the painting hung on the walls were torn down and smashed until they were all in pieces similar to a jigsaw puzzle. He stood their breathing heavily after the destruction of her room. Blitz then started to trot out into the hallway as he grabbed all the pictures of him and Sunflower. As soon as he had every picture of them he brought them on the couch and one by one he looked at them. He stacked the four pictures beside him.

He grabbed the first picture.

It was Blitz and Sunflower on their date for prom. Blitz remembered that date. It was one he would never forget. He put that picture aside.

He grabbed the next picture.

It was them when they went down by Lake Hoover. They were both sitting side by side on the big tree branch they could never break. Blitz smiled but had a bit of a hiccup due to his sadness.

He put that one aside and grabbed the next one.

This picture was when Blitz and Sunflower were just getting ready to move in to Blitz's home. 'She looked so happy in this picture' Blitz thought to himself.

The next one he couldn't bear to see, but he looked at it anyway.

It was them kissing.

The entire frame was of just them just kissing. Blitz's heart shattered and he started to tear up once again. He grabbed all the pictures and flew over to the trash can, and dumped them. Strange. Blitz felt like the pictures. Being able to hang in there for so long, but then just being dumped like garbage.

He looked at the last picture he forgot about. He trotted over and saw the picture was split down the middle.

Blitz on one side.

Sunflower on the other.

He pushed the two pieces together. And it showed their portrait. Blitz sighed.

"Was it really true love?" He asked himself. He picked up the picture and flew over to the garbage.

"I guess it wasn't" he said.

He tossed the picture in the trash. Blitz whipped his eyes and headed toward the door. "I gotta go for a fly." he said to himself. He opened the door and took a deep breath. He whipped his face of tears one last time, stepped outside, and headed off into the dusk sky.

Chapter 4: Ironsides

The Infamous Life Of Blitz

~Chapter 4~

Later that night as Blitz flew through the sky waiting for the day to end, he thought about what he did wrong with his relationship. Sure there were sometimes where he couldn't be there with her, but he showed so much love to that mare. That mare he still loved. Blitz shook the thought of her outta his head. "What the hell am I thinking." he said as he stopped in mid flight. "Its not my fault for her leaving me. She is just a joke to me now. Why the hell do I still care for her?" He grabbed his ears and pulled on them as he let out a groan of anger. He sighed and he overlooked the city of Las Pegasus. He heard the sound of laughter, yelling, conversations, screams, and the sound of gambling. After all, it was a city where you could come and test out your luck. But Blitz felt something that he never felt in a long time.

He felt alone again.

He now hated the fact that he was very antisocial, but he couldn't fight it. He just didn't like conversing with the other ponies. But Sunflower was different. Being with her made him get the feeling that he never had in a long time. It was the feeling of love. The word now made the white colt gag with each second the word was pronounced. He needed some time to think for himself. He wondered. 'Where could I go tonight where I can just sit around and get a drink?' He could go back to his aunt's house, or in other words his house considering her passing and he took the title to it, but the thought of his aunt's soul still in that house gave Blitz a spine chill every time.

The only other place he could go is the bar downtown. It was pretty much the only choice he had. Plus, thanks to his sister, he can get a hold of a free drink. The bartender and Pom-Pom  had connections in the past, but Blitz could never remember how long they were going out. Knowing that, the pegasus glided to the 'Rusty Carriage' to go and get himself a nice cold alcoholic drink.

As he arrived, he seen sober ponies come in, and drunk off their ass ponies come out. Wasn't surprising to Blitz that he bar was always packed. He knew that when some dumb stallion or mare loses every bit they gambled they would come here with the little extra money they had and spend it on some whiskey or martini. That's not what Blitz was here for. He didn't wanna mention why he was here. Blitz entered the bar.

The old smell of alcohol and smoke from the ponies mouths reeked the room up. The place was crowded with ponies. Seemed odd, the bars interior was never renovated. Cobwebs filled the corners of the bar, and chipping paint was accompanied to the several cracks in the wall due to the fights that always broke out. The place had two old slot machines that sat in the corner, one out of order, two pool tables that were in average condition, and one TV that no pony ever seemed to watch considering the only thing on it was those dumb soap operas you watch when you hit 60 years old. He didn't know why more and more ponies come to this piece of shit bar. Yet again, he came in too. Blitz flew up to the marble counter top and took a seat. The counter top was the only good thing the bar had. The bartender approached.

"Hey Blitz. Haven't seen you or your sister in a while." said the yellow colt. Blitz gave one short laugh. "Yeah. Get use to seeing me in here a whole lot more. My life seems like it is going downhill pretty fast now." The colt laughed. "Hasn't it already been going downhill for ya?" The white Pegasus gave the bartender a 'shut the hell up' look. The drink maker recognized. "Sorry. But what do you need. First drink is always free for you." Blitz didn't care what he wanted. All he wanted was something to drink. He answered. "Just give me a glass of whiskey please." Blitz said as he looked at the clock. The bartender shook his head and proceeded to get the drink Blitz ordered.

The thought of Sunflower came to his mind yet again. He remembered the time they went on a fly through Las Pegasus's sky. He remembered how the two said they would love each other until the end. But she had other plans with that unicorn Magicka. Blitz slammed his hoof on the counter top. "That damn slut. She left me, for that dick of a unicorn." he said to himself with an angry tone. Then some pegasus next to Blitz spoke up.

"Some folks are trying to drink here, Scheißkopf" said the pegasus in what seemed that he had been drunk for a while. The pegasus chugged a whole mug of boilermaker from it looked like to Blitz. Blitz responded.

"Listen pal, I've had a rough day." he said as he was looking for the bartender. The drunk colt slammed the mug on the counter top and let out a belch.

"So have I man. Every day of my life's been rough." he said in a better sentence for Blitz to understand. He looked at the drunk and was getting annoyed by him. "Really." Blitz said sarcastically. Blitz didn't care what he had to say. The pegasus put a hoof over Blitz and spoke.

"Look at my cutie mark, dude. Then look at me. Notice anything wrong?" the colt said with an added hiccup at the end of his sentence. Blitz figured that the quicker he got this ordeal over with he could get back to his own drinking and this drunk of Las Pegasus could get off his back. He looked at his flank. On it was a train. Blitz didn't understand. "What about it?" said he said as he looked at the colts brown eyes. "Its a train," said the colt sitting next to him, "I'm a pegasus. Does that make since to you?" He seen the pegasus had iron wings. So Blitz came up with two and two and came up with something. "I guess something happened to you." Blitz said concerned at first. "Something that I really don't care about." he said now in an annoyed attitude. "Well, its not like anypony else cares either." the Pegasus answered in a bored voice. He signaled the bartender to get him another drink.

Blitz was getting a little concerned with the pegasus. He looked back at the colts cutie mark. "By looking at your cutie mark, you must of dealt with trains." He said staring at his cutie mark. The colt handed the bartender his mug for a refill. "Eeyep. And you wouldn't believe how blasphemous that is for a pegasus." The colt laid his head down on the counter top. Blitz came back to the Pegasus's iron wings. Blitz never seen a pony with iron wing before. It urged Blitz to ask what happened. So he asked.

"What the hell happened to your wings?" The colt looked at his wings, moved them a little, then looked at Blitz. "Broke 'em. Broke 'em real bad." The colt urged himself to find out more about this drunk. "How?" The colt turned toward Blitz "Suicide attempt." he said with a smile. He looked back at his wings. "Not bad for just an attempt, eh?" Blitz looked at the drunk pegasus. "What is your name you sad sack?" he asked as Blitz finally received his drink from the bartender. He looked at the colt with confusion. "My full name or what everypony calls me?" he asked with a little belch. Blitz didn't understand, it was such a simple question. But he had to play nice. After all, he did try to commit suicide. "I don't care." he said as he took a drink of his nice cold whiskey. The colt stood and answered.

"Alexander Matthias William Baldwin, at your service. But you can call me Ironsides, or Iron for short."

Blitz was amazed with Iron's full name. Everypony did indeed have a full name but Ironsides took his name on a whole new scale. "Whats yours?" Iron said as he got his drink again. Blitz never really gave anypony his real name but he still had to play nice.

"You can call me Matt. But everypony calls me Blitz."

The iron pegasus took a drink and yet again slammed his drink on the counter top. "Ein deutscher Name. Ich mag das." Iron said as he laughed. Blitz didn't know what the colt was talking about considering he was speaking a whole new language. "Seems you speak Germane a little." Blitz said trying to figure what the drunk iron horse said. Iornsides put a forehoof over Blitz yet again. "Naturlich. Vor vielen Jahren habe ich es gelernt. You speak a second language, too?" he said smiling. Blitz never took a class to learn a new language. For the only language he wanted to learn was English. "No." Blitz responded as he held his drink. "No I don't." He took a drink of his whiskey. Iornsides faced Blitz.

"Well look, Blitz. I'm sorry things didn't work out between you and the slut." he said with a tone of a friend trying to help out a friend in need. The hearing of some other pony calling Blitz's ex a slut got on his nerves. He banged his hoof on the counter top and looked at Iron. "She's not a slut. She's just..." Blitz lost words to describe her betrayal. Iron spoke.

"Just what? Disloyal?"

Blitz hated to admit it, but it was true. She did have feelings for Magicka more than Blitz. Blitz didn't know what to say. Then he found words. "I don't know. She was just so good. I don't see why she left for that bastard Magicka." Iron took another drink and looked back at Blitz. "Eh, maybe he'll turn out to be a real jackass, and she'll realize her mistake." As much as Blitz would want her back, he couldn't accept her apology. "No. Its too late for her. She broke my heart." he said lifting his glass for another drink. "Your not one for second chances, are you?" Iron said while messing with his drink. "No. Its either you stick with me, or you don't. I want somepony to love me for who I am and not leave me in the dust." Blitz said as took another drink. Iron looked at Blitz with a serious look on his face. To Blitz, it seemed he was sober for a while.

"Just because somepony leaves you for somepony else, doesn't mean they don't deserve a second chance. Everypony makes mistakes, Blitz." The words that Iornsides said really didn't hit Blitz as much as other words did. Blitz looked at Ironsides and put a hoof over his shoulder. "To Sunflower, she doesn't deserve a second chance. We always didn't get along much anyway. Plus she even said I wasn't going to be the Blitz she knew and loved." the white pegasus said in a mocking tone. Ironsides tuned around and starred straight out at the bar. The pony sighed. Blitz could pick out what the iron horse said under his breath. "Figures. Nopony listens to me anymore." Iron turned back around and called out to the bartender. "Hey! Got any absinthe around here?!" The bartender shook his head, "Good one!" he yelled.

Blitz finished his drink. He really didn't wanna order another considering that he didn't want to get real drunk. For he had to fly back home and he wasn't going to drink and fly. Blitz looked at the time. 10:30 PM. The Pegasus figured that he should be heading home now so his coach didn't yell at him for being late to practice yet again. "Hey, I gotta go now Iornsides. It was a real pleasure to meet you." he said as he stretched and took off above the crowd of ponies that were crowding the place.

As Blitz finally got out of the bar, he took a deep breath and was about to fly home. But then he was stalled by a pony he just met five minutes ago. Iornsides walked out of the bar, and started to walk down the sidewalk. But he was interrupted by a sudden urge to vomit. As Blitz watched his new drunk friend, he was lucky enough to see him hurl onto the sidewalk in front of the busy bar. A giant gush of beige colored liquid shot out of the pegasus's mouth. Blitz recoiled at the sight of his alcohol poisoning. Iornsides then began to teeder on his hooves. Before Blitz could help his friend, the brown pegasus keeled over, and then slammed his head against a nearby lamp post with a resounding clang. Blitz really didn't know how to react considering he never in his life was in this type of situation.

"Well," Blitz said awkwardly, "Hope you have a good night you drunk son of a bitch." Their was no sounds except the conversations in the bar and the sound of Iornsides gurgling on his own toxic puke. "Ok. Well uh...I'll take that as a goodnight to me too and hope to see you again." He saluted to Iron and he took off into the night sky. For the first time somepony actually came up to Blitz and was concerned of what he felt. He never knew that somepony would ever care for his well being. "I hope I can see him again." Blitz said to himself. "But then yet again he was drunk, so he will probably forget about me the next morning."

Blitz approached his house. "But I could be wrong. I've always proven wrong time after time again." Blitz landed on the lawn where not too long ago, his relationship was smashed into a million pieces. He kicked over the sculpture Sunflower gave him as he walked into his house. He locked the door behind him and proceeded to go to his bedroom. With each step the argument came back to him.

The yelling and screaming of her voice increased as he got closer to his room. No matter how much Blitz shook his head just to get some of the noise out, it just made it worse. As he had one more step to go, that's when the one thing that hurt him the most spoke to him. 'You'll never be the Blitz I use to know! You'll always be a loser! For the rest of your life!' He stopped. The sounds went away and all he heard were the crickets outside. Blitz walked slowly to his bed and climbed on it. "Man," said the heartbroken Pegasus,

"Whiskey really isn't my type of drink." Blitz said as he laid down. He thought to himself.

'Ok. today I got my ass kicked in football. My marefriend dumped me for the one unicorn I despise most in all of Equestria. And I met a drunk Germane colt who tried to commit suicide and failed at it.' He pulled the covers over him. 'The only good thing that happened to me today, was getting a new friend.' Blitz rested his head on his pillow. He smiled. "Today was a good day." He whispered to himself. He didn't know why it was a good day. But he had the one thing he hated more than anything now out of his life, and he made a new friend today at the bar. He closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

Chapter 5: Blitz Vs. Magicka

The Infamous Life Of Blitz

~Chapter 5~

Blitz woke up to the sound of birds chirping outside his window. The colt indeed had one rough night, but it was all worth it in the end. The white pegasus leaned up and rubbed his eyes. He sighed. The feeling of not having the smell of breakfast being made made the colt feel a little out of place. He got up out of bed and stretched his wings. Now that he had the information on who Sunflower was dating, he knew how he could get his revenge. The colt giggled to himself as his plan slowly came about as he proceeded to the kitchen to grab himself a bowl of oats.

As the pegasus trotted to his destination, he felt like he had a little bit of more freedom. Like the feeling a criminal gets when he finally served his time in jail and is greeted to the open world when let out. Blitz smiled at the feeling as he began to skip to his kitchen humming an old tune to himself as he felt happiness quickly energize him. The colt first proceeded to the TV remote to turn on the news. As he pressed the button he then advanced to the kitchen, doing a bunch of aerial tricks as he flew over the couch and did a bunch of front flips in the air. The colt never felt so alive. As he landed in front of the cupboard to get his breakfast, the news was announcing a special event that just happened recently. The Anchormare spoke.

"Today in recent news, six ponies defeated a dangerous foe of the princess. The group is said to be The Elements of Harmony, and included the following. Baker from Sugarcube Corner, Pinkie Pie. Dress Maker from Carousel Boutique, Rarity. Animal Expert from a cottage near the Everfree forest, Fluttershy. Farmer form Sweet Apple Achers, Applejack. Librarian from the Ponyville Public Library, Twilight Sparkle. And Weather Pony from Cloudsdale, Rainbo....." the TV staticed.

Blitz had the remote in his hoof and his bowl of oats in the other. "I don't wanna hear about who did what," the stallion said with a mouth full of oats and a smirk forming on his face, "Lets get to the real news." Blitz flipped through the channels to find the sports channel. The TV found what Blitz was looking for. "Welcome to ESD. Your prime network for every sport in Equestria." The colt slouched down on his couch and chowed down on his breakfast, and listened to the sports channel.

The colt finished his oats and put his bowl in the sink. He looked at the time. 2:15 PM. The stallion was actually going to be on time today. He went to the bathroom to check and see if he was good enough to fly out in public. As the stallion looked at himself in the mirror he didn't focus on his mane, but how he looked. It seemed that Blitz was glowing by what the colt seen. He winked at the mirror and gave a short chuckle. He then moved on to styling his mane the same way he always loved it. Styled up, and then combed back. That style stuck with him ever since his mother gave him that style. After his short make over, Blitz again winked and smiled at the mirror to let him know who was awesome. Blitz then proceeded to the door to take off and go to practice.

When Blitz arrived at the field he seen some of the players just getting out of the locker room. Blitz proceeded to the building with a huge smile on his face. Blitz never ever felt so happy. At least not in a while. He had always had stress with his marefriend every time he came home. She would always nag and bitch about everything. No more. He was now free. He was single. He was the Blitz he knew and loved. As Blitz opened up his locker he was greeted by Renegade who was having trouble getting his pads on. The pegasus groaned as he got his head caught on one of the straps that helped keep the pads on.

"You alright?" Blitz asked as he grabbed his pads. The blue pegasus tried to shake off the pads but it was no use. "Uh. Yeah. I need a little help." he said as he froze and tried to look at Blitz through one of the holes in his practice jersey. Blitz laughed and assisted the struggling colt. In no time the pads were on Renegade. "There you go. You look like a champ." Blitz commented. "Thanks." he said as he now proceeded to get his straps on.

"Hey. Did you hear about Magicka?" Blitz slipped on his pads. As much as Blitz wanted to ignore that name, he just didn't want to ruin his happy day. "What about him?" the white pegasus asked. Renegade moved on to the next strap. "I guess he got a new girlfriend. He told everypony that she is gonna be watching us practice today." Blitz then stopped what he was doing. He thought for a second. If Magicka was bringing Sunflower down to watch him play, that would be the excellent time for him to show how stupid he could really be. Then it would make Sunflower look bad, giving her guilt for leaving me. Blitz smiled and jumped up and down in excitement for this practice. Renegade just looked at Blitz with a confused look on his face. The colt realized.

"What?" he said in a happy tone. The blue pegasus just shook his head and closed his locker. "You can be really weird sometimes, Blitz." he said as he put his helmet on and proceeded towards the door. Blitz just was so happy. He couldn't wait to show how much of a sissy Magicka could be. He put on his equipment in a flash and darted out to the field. As Blitz dashed out of the building, he noticed something. Everypony was in a group admiring something. What ever it was they really seemed to be intrigued. Blitz joined in on the group. Turns out the thing that they were all admiring was Magicka and Sunflower.

"Wow Magicka. That is a hot piece right there." said a colt. "Yeah. Have you tapped that yet?" asked another one. Magicka held a hoof up. "Guys, guys, please. Not in front of the most beautiful mare in Equestria." he said as he looked at Sunflower. She blushed. "Oh Magicka. Your so charming." she said as he brought him in for a kiss. The crowd cheered as the two lovers kissed. All except for Blitz. All he did was give a long sigh of disappointment as he left the group and went to go get some water. A whistle blew. The coach showed up.

"All right you fillys. Practice is starting. Leave the mare alone and lets get down to business." The crowd of ponies complained and headed toward the practice field. Magicka and Sunflower kissed one more time before he departed. "Kick some ass tiger." Sunflower said to her lover, then proceeding to the stands to watch. Blitz was just getting mad now. The happiness he felt earlier now was nothing but a fried up pebble. He now wanted to prove he was better than Magicka. "Alright you sorry sack of shits," the coach announced as he put two rectangular dummies parallel to each other, leaving a space in the middle, "We are doing one on ones today. No crying and no fighting."

The team separated into two groups, one on each side of the dummies. The goal was to drive the opposing player to his back. And up first was the green unicorn. Blitz quickly took his spot on the opposite side of him and both players got in their stance. As they were in their stance Magicka made a short comment to Blitz. "Your girl has a great lip gloss taste." Blitz then looked at him with a confused look.

The whistle blew, and Magicka flew out of his stance knocking Blitz over in an instant. The team laughed. Magicka offered the colt a hoof up. Blitz reached for it only to be fooled as the unicorn only just stretched out his foreleg and walked away. Blitz heard the sound of cheering in the stands. He looked over and saw Sunflower jumping for joy. The stallion got up and waited back in line. As each group went Blitz couldn't understand what happened to him. He was confident and knew what he was doing, but that one comment just shut everything down. Blitz had to stay focused this time. He couldn't be distracted yet again.

The two were up again, and Blitz was focused this time. Magicka looked at the colt across from him and he smiled. Blitz tried to ignore it but it seemed it grow larger and larger. The whistle blew. This time Blitz was able to get out of his stance. The two were going at it for a while until yet again Magicka prevailed victorious. Blitz quickly got up and headed for the back of the line. He heard the same cheering again. His ex was now getting on his nerves, but the stallion she loved was just adding more garbage to the pile. Blitz knew this may be the last one before the team decided to do something new. He was confident this time. More confident than the last one. Besides he had a trick up his sleeve.

As the two met again, Blitz was greeted with that stupid smile of his yet again. When they got down in their stance Blitz heard a comment from Sunflower. "Beat him down, baby!" she yelled as he clapped her hooves together. That comment almost made Blitz loose it. It should be him getting cheered for. But Blitz lost his cool after Magicka said something to Blitz in a whisper.

"Shes my baby doll now loser!"

Blitz looked at Magicka. He just gave him that smile again. Blitz lost it as he fired out before the whistle. Blitz surprisingly picked up Magicka by the shoulder pads and he flew him twenty five feet in the air. "What the hell!" the unicorn screamed as he looked at the ground below. Blitz then screamed as he dove and slammed Magicka into the ground. A small cloud of dirt formed from the impact. Blitz got up and he was breathing heavily.

He felt good.

This anger he had. It just made him one hundred times better. Blitz looked at Magicka, who was just tossing and turning in pain. Blitz felt like he could take on the world. This adrenaline rush really did something to Blitz. It seemed as when he got mad, every part of Blitz changed. He wasn't the kind and nice pony he was. He was a now more angered and stronger stallion. Blitz smiled and gave one short laugh. "Rub some dirt on those horse teeth of yours you piece of shit. You'll feel a whole lot better with all that garbage in your mouth."

The pegasus looked back at the crowd of football player behind him. He expected them to come up and congratulate him on his awesome slam on the unicorn. But he wasn't greeted with a round of high hooves and compliments, but a coach that stood over him as angry as ever. Blitz looked at the coach. "So? Did I win?" Blitz said in a reassuring voice. The coach stared back at him for a while. "Did you win." he said disappointed. Blitz's expression turned from happy to scared in mere milliseconds. "You just injured our starting quarterback you dumb ass!" the coach yelled. Blitz recoiled by the coach's reaction. Sure he may of injured the best quarterback Las Pegasus has had in a while, but the bastard deserved it.

"But..." Blitz said but was interrupted by the coach. "But nothing! Have fun watching from the stands come next game! Don't even come to practice! Your done for the next week!" The white stallion took off his helmet. "What the hell! This isn't fair!" he said as he slammed his helmet on the ground. "Make it two because of your attitude! I could go all day, Blitz!" The colt remained silent as he picked his helmet up and walked toward the locker room. The football players were all silent as Blitz trotted past each and everyone of them. He looked in the stands to see Sunflower staring at him. She shook her head and flew down to where her coltfriend was. Blitz yet again tried to do the impossible but came out on bottom yet again.

As Blitz entered the locker room he felt the sudden rush of anger come back to him. He threw his helmet across the hall and ripped off his shoulder pads and started beating his locker with his hoofs. "Why! Why! Why! Why! Why!" he shouted over and over again with each strike of his hoof. Blitz felt nothing. Not even sadness, happiness, forgiveness, guilt, not even pain. All that he felt was anger as he unleashed all his rage on his locker. As many times he pounded on his locker, the white pegasus felt his anger fading away and sadness slowly kicking in. He eventually stopped and then slumped to the floor. Blitz began to weep.

He just didn't understand. Why was he always the one who got blamed? Why did he have to get banned to play football for two weeks for doing something that was right? The colt yet again was too confused to answer his own questions. Blitz felt alone yet again. He was almost on the brink of giving his life away. Blitz could only take up so much stress and sadness before death called for him. But he was strong mentally. Blitz has been in more difficult situations than this before. He knew that this was just another bump in life. Besides, Blitz was after all only fifteen. Our white friend still had a long life to live. He found his strength return and he got up and sat on the bench in the middle of the locker bank. He looked at his hoofs as they were now starting to bleed. He then noticed his practice pants were still on. He proceeded to untie them and strip down to just his plain old cutie markless coat and he then grabbed his shoulder pads and helmet and put them in his now dented locker. All of his equipment was covered in blood, so was the floor but only had a couple of droplets. Blitz sighed.

He flew off the bench and proceeded outside. He would of trotted but his hoofs were hurting too much for him to be doing that sort of thing. As he flew up to get a bird eyes view of the field Blitz got one good look at it before he departed and headed home to care for his wounds.

Chapter 6: The Interview

The Infamous Life Of Blitz

~Chapter 6~

Its been one week since our friend hasn't been playing the sport he loved the most. Blitz wasn't doing so hot. He was failing to keep his bills paid up, he hasn't been able to even get a glimpse of the field he use to play on, and he wasn't getting paid, for the only job he did have was playing the sport. The stress kept on building up. If more and more of this kept up our white friend would have to move out of the city he grew up in. But he could turn all that around. For today was the day Blitz got to go to the weather center for his job interview as a weather pony.

We see Blitz back in his home as he was getting his tie on and cleaned himself up so he looked spick and span for his upcoming interview. Blitz looked in the mirror. He looked clean as a whistle, and looked as if he was attending a ball. He cracked his neck, stretched his wings, and gave the mirror a smile.

"I'm Blitz, and I'm here for the interview." he said to his reflection. Blitz frowned. He cleared his throat. "I'm Blitz, and I'm here for the interview." he said in a little deeper tone. He shook his head. "I'm Blitz, and I'm here for the interview." Blitz smiled as he got the voice down. He proceeded to the the front door. Before he opened it he looked at a picture of his dad that was hanging on the wall that replaced the picture of Blitz and Sunflower. He put his hoof on it. "Wish me luck pop." he said as he glared at the picture. He gave it a kiss and then proceeded to the weather center located in downtown Las Pegasus.

Blitz's favorite part about living in Las Pegasus was all the casinos and buildings that helped kept the city up and running. Blitz traveled through out the city as its bright lights lit the city up, making it one of the brightest cities in all of Equestria. Blitz decided since he had a half of an hour until the meeting, he decided to do something he hasn't done in a long time. Practice on his flying. Blitz flew up to the highest point on the edge where all the buildings started to make up downtown Las Pegasus. When he reached a maximum height he made one deep breath and gave a quick "Ha."

Blitz dove straight for the ground as he picked up speed rapidly. Ground was soon getting bigger with each second he got closer to the ground. Blitz pulled up as he was now horizontal from the ground. He flew all around the street, avoiding all the carriages and dodging all of the ponies that populated the city. Blitz was going so fast where if he passed a pony, it would literally almost knock them off balance from trotting. Blitz laughed again as he looked around the streets of the gambling city. He went through gaps in the signs that symbolized the casinos, and went so close to the ground to where he could feel the dirt being kicked up from under him. The white pegasus even decided to do some barrel rolls. He wanted to do more than two of them, but if hid did anymore it would make him dizzy and would possibly put his life in danger and many other ponies. When Blitz had enough he again pulled up as he was heading to the tallest casino in his view. He soon landed on it with ease as he decreased his speed like a professional flier. Blitz walked over to the edge of the building and shouted to the world.

"My name is Blitz, and I'm on top of the world!"

Blitz once again smiled and laughed to himself. Blitz seemed to be good at cheering himself up. Even if he was banned from his football team or if he was dumped by the mare of his dreams, our friend would just do something that would just turn his frown upside down. Blitz now traveled to the other side of the roof. He seen what looked like the main strip of the city. This street had all the big hotels and casinos Las Pegasus had to offer. "The Mane Strip." Blitz said to himself. "Beautiful at night. Dead during the day." The white pegasus then proceeded to the business area of the city, which looked similar to town square in Manehattan. Even as a little colt, he still remembered that city's view.

As he arrived at the weather center in 'Business Square', as Blitz called it since it was where pretty much where all business was in the city, he stood in aww at the sight of the building. It was a huge skyscraper that stretched at least 50 stories high. The building was all in steel as it shinned down on the ponies below it. Blitz seen in the reflection the weather logo of Equestria. Blitz knew that these ponies played hard ball. Blitz was nervous on the inside, but he simply just smiled and trotted through the gold revolving door that led into the grand tower.

The main hall was enormous. It was very spacious, minus the part where all the ponies were crowded in that single area trying to make business arrangements. On the walls of this ginormous room was paintings of all the different types of weather in the world. Tornadoes, hurricanes, rain, snow, hell even sand storms. The ceiling was the most amazing to Blitz. It was composed of giant lights that each  were as bright as the sun. Each light outlined the ceiling so all you seen was lights. Blitz then made his way to the main desk in the center of the room. Lucky for him there was no line in one section of it. Blitz approached the mare. She was an old mare as she was taking and holding calls.

"Equestria Weather Center, please hold. Equestrian Weather Center, please hold. Mr. Pensville your wife is on line six." she ranted on like she was the most experienced secretary in the whole company. Blitz looked around the room one last time before he spoke up. "Um. Excuse me." The mare took one more call before putting her phone on the side. She looked at Blitz.

"Hello welcome to the Weather Center, how may I help you?" she said with a smile. "I'm here for an interview with a pony named Cloudrunner." he said. The mare looked on her computer. Blitz waited patiently as he let the mare look for any interviews for today. "Name please." the teal pony asked. "Blitz." She clicked a few times. "Ok Blitz, Cloudrunner is on the thirtieth floor and in office room 432. The elevator is over there." she said as she pointed her  hoof over where most of the ponies were going in and out of. Blitz thanked the secretary and trotted over to the destination.

The strange thing to Blitz was that he never seen any elevator like this one. This elevator, well, had no elevator. Instead of waiting for one the pegasus ponies had to fly to there levels. He walked in the middle of the huge vacuum and looked up. He seen a cluster of ponies flying up and down levels. Some looked like they were just flying for the hell of it. Blitz smiled, for he never seen this type of pegasus transportation ever. Blitz flew off his hooves and began ascending. He seen the number of levels for they were on the glass behind him. He watched as the numbers went up. Fifteen. Sixteen. Seventeen. Blitz laughed for he could see almost see the city of Las Pegasus.

Blitz finally made it to his destination. He flew forward and landed on the nice blue carpet. The white halls looked clean and sparkly, and each office door was black with white doorknobs and white numbers on the doors telling the ponies which room was which. Blitz trotted down the grand hall in search for the room he needed to go in. With each door he passed, he felt his stomach beginning to twist and turn, for Blitz was starting to get nervous. If he couldn't get this job he wouldn't ever to be able to keep his aunts house. Blitz finally arrived at the door he was looking for. Blitz knocked on the door. Blitz heard a voice inside telling him to come in. Blitz took a deep breath and exhaled. He entered.

The room was small but it was big enough to support an office space. The room too was pure white and spotless. In it was a big metal desk with an white stallion behind it. The stallion was on his phone just ending a conversation. "Yeah. Yes I know, I know. Blue and red. I got it. I gotta go. I got someone in my office." He hung up and flew up out of his chair and over his desk.

"Hey there. I'm Cloudrunner." the pegasus said as he offered a hoof. Blitz shook his hoof. "Hello, I'm Blitz and I'm.."

"Your here for a interview to become a weather pony." he said as he finished Blitz's sentence. "Yeah. How did you know? I could of been anyone." Blitz asked. "Kid please." Cloudrunner said as he turned around and proceeded back to his office chair, "Everyday I get colts and fillies like you. Always coming in here hoping they can get this job." The white stallion sat in his chair. "Sit." he said as he pointed to a the chair sitting across him. Blitz obeyed and took his seat. The colt behind the desk lounged back and spoke.

"So, why do you wanna be a weather pony?" "Well," said the colt opposite from the pegasus behind the desk. "I love to fly, and I love to play with weather. By that I mean I like getting order to make weather." Blitz answered as he cleared his throat. Cloudrunner nodded his head. "Ok, have you ever gotten into any flight accidents in the past?" Blitz shook his head. "Ok, good. Have you had a recent job in the weather business." "No. This is my first time actually signing up to be on the weather patrol." Blitz answered as he looked the colt across from him in the eyes. "Oh really?" Cloudrunner said as he scratched his buzzcut mane. Blitz nodded.

"I remember my first time I signed up to be a weather pony." he said as he re positioned himself in his chair. "You do?" Blitz asked as he leaned forward a little. "Oh yes. Most defiantly." the colt said as he looked Blitz right in the eyes. "I was around your age. Which was about..." he thought for a few seconds. "How old are you colt?" he asked Blitz. "Fifteen." Blitz responded. The pegasus nodded his head. "Yep it was about twenty five years ago when I signed up." Blitz shook his head, eager for the stallion to continue. "I started out on the Snowflake Brigade. That's the weather team that dealt with the cold winters in Trottingham. It was tough but it was nothing compared to the scotching heat of Hoofington." the colt said as he was now trying to remember his past.

Blitz wondered. If there was a job for all the cities in Equestria, were they assigned where the ponies lived. "Quick question." Blitz said not trying to interrupt the pegasus's thinking. "Ask." He said as he looked  back at Blitz. "Are the ponies assigned to the towns they live in?" Cloudrunner got up from his chair and headed toward a map that was in the back of the room. Blitz's eyes followed the colt as he stood next to the map.

"No." he said with a shake of his head. "The ponies are assigned randomly to each of the ten cities and towns we help." He pointed to the cities that the company provides weather ponies too. As he announced the names he pointed to the cities and towns the company helped. "These towns and cities include: Canterlot, Manechester, Ponyville, Fillydelphia, Trottingham, Stalliongrad, Hoofington, Manehattan, Appleloosa, and of course Las Pegasus." Blitz was amazed with all the cities that the buisness helped. The colt flew back to his seat. "You guys help all those town with the weather?" Blitz said with and amazed tone. Cloudrunner nodded his head. "Yep. All ten of them. we are also going to include New Saddle soon. Just as soon as they can sign that contract."

"Contract?" Blitz asked.

The colt landed back in his seat and cleared his throat. "It is basically an agreement that the mayor of New Saddle has to sign for us to sent out weather ponies to the town and keep watch for any dangerous weather." Blitz nodded as he understood. "We have been in business for over two hundred years, and we are one of the most successful businesses on the face of the earth." he said as he moved his head in a bragging motion. Blitz was indeed impressed. With how much success this company was in, he would probably get paid three times as much as his football job. As much as the white pegasus wanted to listen to more of this stallion's story, the excitement of being a weather pony was all too much for our colt to bear. Blitz wanted to get employed right now.

"So." Blitz said keeping his cool as of on the inside, was about to explode in joy, "How do I become a weather pony?" He colt across from his went back to look at his computer. "Well, its simple. I just have to ask you a few questions and then you'll be good to go." Blitz shook his head. 'Easy enough.' Blitz thought to himself. "Since I already asked you three of the six questions." he said as he typed on his keyboard. "Ok." Blitz said as he sat straight back up. Cloudrunner continued to ask the other three questions.

"Do you have any problems with your body? Like heart problem, back, or anything in that area?" Blitz shook his head. "Nope. Im pretty healthy." The colt nodded.

"Ok. What did you get on your flight test in school?" Blitz thought about this one. 'Lets see. I think I got a six out of ten. Wait maybe it was seven. No. No. Eight. Oh damn it. What was it? Screw it.' Blitz spoke. "Seven. Seven out of ten." Blitz couldn't decide so he chose the middle between the two numbers. Cloudrunner typed on his keyboard and read something on his screen. Blitz waited patiently as he looked around the office space. "Ok. One more question." he said to the white pegasus. The other white pegasus looked at him and smiled.

"Have you completed Weather School?"

Blitz's smile immediately turned into a frown and his eyes lit up. "We..Weather School?" Blitz asked. "Yes. Weather School. You have completed Weather School correct?" Cloudrunner asked as he waited for an answer. Blitz never knew he had to go to Weather School to get this job. He was panicking on the inside. Yet Blitz acted calm. "Yeah..." Blitz said in a flustered tone. Cloudrunner was typing. "...About that." Blitz added on. Cloudrunner stopped typing and looked at Blitz with a confused look. Blitz didn't wanna take any chances with his luck with lying. After all he wasn't much of a lier. He always told the truth. "I didn't take Weather School. I never even heard of such thing." the white colt said honestly. The colt behind the desk looked at Blitz as if he done something awkward. "Oh." he said as he hit backspace a couple of times. "Well that may be a problem for you my friend." he said with a surprised laugh. "What do you mean?" he said confused. "Whats so important about it?" Cloudrunner leaned toward Blitz as he put his hooves on his desk for balance.

"Whats so important about it?!" he said in a laughing matter. He shot back in his chair, clapped his hooves together, and laughed. Blitz didn't understand why this was funny to him. The laughing colt sat back up whipping his eyes of the happy tears. "You have to pass Weather School for you to be able to become a weather pony. How have you not heard of it? Didn't anypony tell you before you came in here?" he said as he calmed down and straighten his tie out. Blitz mouth dropped open as he was shocked. He was so close to getting such an awesome job. The colt was just one question away from getting such an important task and he once again failed at it. "Without a clear certificate that states that you passed Weather School, I'm afraid there is nothing I can do." he said as he read off his computer and slouched into his chair. Blitz closed his mouth and he sunk into his chair. He looked down. As he seen the white carpet he imagined he was on a cloud. That is what he could of been on if he knew about going to take a class for weather pony.

"Tell you what." Cloudrunner said. Blitz looked up at him. "You got something in you saying that you will be perfect at this job. So I'm gonna do you a favor." Blitz sat back up and listened closely to what the white pegasus had to say. "I'm gonna hold a spot open for you. The longest I can hold this job opening for is three years. Which means you gotta get that certificate to me three years from now. I know that's a long time, but we have ponies come and go and we always have a spot open. If you can't get it in before the dead line, I wont be able to accept you."

Blitz's face lit up and a huge smile grew across his face. The white pegasus flew out of his seat and gave the colt one big tight hug. "Oh, Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!" Blitz cried out in joy. The colt smiled as he was assaulted by Blitz with a giant embrace. Cloudrunner didn't hug Blitz back. All he did was tap him on his back. "Yeah just be back in three years. I could get fired for doing something like this." he said as he pushed the white pegasus away. Blitz nodded. "Thank you so much Cloudrunner. You'll hear for me." "Just be sure you can afford it. It costs five hundred bits." he said as he once again straitened out his tie. Blitz thought. 'Five hundred bits. I better save up on my earnings from football then.' Blitz shook the white pegasus's hoof and proceeded toward the door.

Blitz almost forgot to ask his final question to the colt. "Hey." Cloudrunner responded by looking at the stallion. "Where is the closest Weather School?" The white stallion flew out of his chair and proceeded to the map at the back of the room again. He pointed on the map. "Cloudsdale. That is the closest city that offers our training in Weather School. You'll have to take the train, but the closest it will take you is to Ponyvillle. From their you can fly. It would just take a mere ten minutes to get their." he said as he stared at the map and then looked at Blitz with a smile. Blitz couldn't show how much he wanted to thank the stallion, for he was kind enough to give him a chance at a really great job. He shook his hoof. "Thank you so much Cloudrunner. I don't know how I can repay you." Cloudrunner just laughed. "It's the least I could do. Like I said. You have something in you saying you can do this. Many have come to me for this job but none had what I seen here today."

Blitz was touched. He smiled he could feel water begin to form in his eyes. Tears of joy. Blitz has never experienced this kind of happiness before. Blitz again thanked Cloudrunner for all his help and proceeded to exit the building. As Blitz got back outside he stood in the middle of Business Square and took one deep breath. Then the white pegasus shot off the ground and went up in circles like a firework screaming with joy. He actually had a chance to accomplish something in his life. Now the only thing Blitz had to do was save up the money to get that certificate. And he got to have fun while doing it.

Chapter 7: A Chat Before Gameday

The Infamous Life Of Blitz

~Chapter 7~

One week after his interview and his suspension was over. That meant one true thing to the pegasus. He got to play football. Now all he had to do was get the bits he needed to get that certificate, buy a train ticket to Ponyville, fly to Cloudsdale, Take the test, employ,  and our white friend would be living the good life. What sucked about being able to play football again was that he came back on the same exact day they were facing Trottingham.

He had no time to warm up considering all Blitz did while he was suspended was: A: Practice his flying so he could maneuver around faster. B: Go to that interview and made him the happiest colt in Equestria. C: Sit on his ass the entire time. Blitz couldn't go to practice now considering that coach said he was suspended for exactly two weeks. Tomorrow was the big game and he got a call from Renegade saying that he needed to be there at six at night. He couldn't train knowing that he didn't really have any equipment that would make him any better, or at least get him back to hitting as well as he did on Magicka. There was nothing he could do to help him get ready for the game.

Our friend was now on his bed tossing and turning trying to figure out what the hell was going to happen to him. He never did play in one full game. So why would coach put him in? Or maybe he was gonna go in. Impossible. He hasn't been at practice for Celestia's sake. He just groaned at the thought that he was screwed no matter what happened. The pegasus sighed as his mind went blank. Nothing nor anything was on his mind. He closed his eyes. Moments passed until Blitz's imagination took over.

He was in a building. A very similar building. He took a look around. He was in a hallway that had several doors on both sides. He looked at the plaque of the closest door to him. It read 001. Blitz trotted down the hall further. The next door read 002. "Wait." Blitz said as he got a thought in his head. He continued further. The number was plus one on the next door. The next 004. The next 005. Blitz stopped as he looked down the hall.

He seen a little colt backing away from the door. He looked scared as he looked left and right. "Is that..." Blitz said as he moved closer to the child. The colt went away in the opposite direction. "Hey!" Blitz called out. The colt didn't answer as he kept on trotting down the hall and took a right. There was something very similar about that colt that gave our pegasus the chills. Blitz stood in the place the colt was just recently. Blitz whispered to himself. "That couldn't of been me." He looked at the door the colt was just in front of.

Room 006.

Blitz's eyes lit up as he backed up against the wall behind him. He was starting to hyperventilate. The doorway seemed to get larger and bigger. Blitz had to close his eyes and look away, for it was too much for the stallion to take.

Then Blitz screamed in horror as he opened his eyes and shot up from his bed. He looked around his room from left to right in a fast motion. He was still breathing hard as if he got done running a mile. Blitz clenched his chest for the feeling of a heart attack was imminent. He leaned forward as he buried his head in his blanket and sheets. Blitz never before thought about his youth. EVER. He just didn't want to. For all about thinking about the past only brought him depression. And on the day that his dad died? Did it really have to go that far back? Blitz shook his head in the sheets. For the pain of that memory made Blitz start to tear up.

For it reminded him of his father. What made it worst was seeing himself right when he wasn't allowed in that room as the news about his sickness was announced to his dad. Blitz took a deep breath in, for he was starting to sob. The blast from the past wasn't at all what Blitz wanted that night. All he wanted to do was go to sleep and wake up tomorrow to go play football. Football. A depressing thought came to him. He never told his father about his dream. The thought hit Blitz's heart like an arrow. And not an arrow of love. But...Pain. Blitz fell over his bed as he was now on the bedroom floor rolling in utter sadness.

"I..I'm...S...So...Sorry Da...Daad." he wept to himself as if he was in the room with him. "I w..wish y..you were h.he..here." he whispered to himself as he curled up in a ball and cried. The poor pegasus was truly heart broken. He never wanted to see his past. Not like that.

Out of nowhere the doorbell rang. Blitz looked at his doorway. He didn't want to answer, for he didn't want to let anypony to see what kind of condition he was in. He just laid on the floor and continued to weep. The bell rang again. Blitz this time knew that whoever was at the door wasn't going to leave. He got up and whipped his eyes so when he answered it would look like he wasn't crying. He flew into the bathroom to see if he was a wreck. He looked into the mirror. His eyes were bloodshot a little and under his eyes his coat was messy due to the tears. He whipped his eyes and fixed the screw up in his coat. The doorbell rang again.

"Coming!" Blitz said as he made one final touch to his face. He flew to the door so who ever was at the door wouldn't wait any longer. He opened it and was greeted to thee one and only drunk of Las Pegasus as he remembered him.

"Hey Blitz." said the brown pegasus as he gave him a friendly smile. "Oh. Hey Ironsides." Blitz said as he sniffed and whipped his eyes with his forehoof.

"Uh, you alright, dude?" he asked as he stepped forward a little and rose a hoof halfway up. "Yeah." he responded as he was beginning to get the thoughts of his father back in his head. He inhaled as he tried to contain his sadness. "You don't sound alright. What's going on?" he said as he demanded to know. Blitz's face crunched up with tears and he turned and walked toward his couch. He was about to ball again and he didn't want Ironsides to see. The brown colt followed him, closing the door as he entered. Blitz flew on his couch and planted his head in a pillow. Ironsides sat on the couch next to Blitz. Blitz couldn't help it. The thoughts were too much for him to bear, as he cried into his couch pillow.

"Hey now, buddy," he said as he patted the white pegasus on the back, "What's with the water works?" he said now knowing something was definitely wrong with his friend. Blitz got up and looked at Blitz. He knew he looked like a complete mess, but he could care less. "Its my father." he said as he looked at his coffee table. Iron looked at his depressed friend with a sad face. "What about your father?" he asked leaning in to get an answer for the broken stallion. "I thought about him just five seconds ago." Blitz said as he whipped his eyes again. "Oh." Iron said realizing why he was crying. "You miss him, don't you?" Blitz nodded as he looked at the iron pegasus. "Yeah." said the iron horse. "I miss mine too..."

Blitz looked at him in confusion. He whipped his eyes and faced him. "What happened to him?" Ironsides sighed. "He's still alive. My mom is too. But I can never see them again." he said as he looked at Blitz's TV. Blitz tilted his head. "Why not?" he said as he sniffed. "They think I'm dead." he said as he now looked at the ground. Blitz's eyes went wide. His parents thought he was dead? "Why?" asked the clueless stallion. "Remember when I explained how I got these?" he said as he leaned forward to show Blitz his Iron wings. Blitz nodded. "Well." he sighed. "I got vengeful..." he said as he leaned back. Blitz was now forgetting about his father and was more interested in the story his iron friend was telling him. "How?" Blitz asked as he leaned on his couch. Ironsides sighed.

"It was by complete accident, at first. I dragged myself into the Everfree Forest and tried to find shelter. They sent out a search party to look for me. Turns out I left a blood trails leading into the forest. They must've thought my body was grabbed by some creature." Blitz put a hoof over his mouth as he was shocked. "But that's not the worst part..." he said. Blitz was even more shocked. "That's not the worst part?" he said as he gave him a surprised look. Iron shook his head. "Well, what happened?" Iron turned away. "I shouldn't say it. You'd hate me for all of eternity." Blitz wanted to know what happened. He didn't wanna end the story with him clueless. "Please say it." Blitz asked politely. The brown pegasus sighed. "Alright." he said as he looked at Blitz. "I felt faking my death would cause the ponies who made fun of me to feel unbelievably guilty when they saw my family's reaction."

He looked away. "But when the procession flew past, I saw the faces of my friends and family, and..." He paused. Blitz looked at him with a sad look. "I just couldn't bear it. So I never went back." He looked at Blitz. "If I ever did go back, they'd never forgive me for doing that to them. So I felt the best thing was to just leave things the way they were." Blitz never in his life heard a story as dark as his friends. "You ran away from your problems didn't you?" Blitz asked. Ironsides looked at Blitz. "Yes, and I was foolish to do so." Blitz didn't know what to say.

"Wow." he said as Blitz just looked at the ground and shook his head. "I really don't know what to say Ironsides." The colt pushed his glasses up and looked at the white pegasus. "There really isn't much to say." He shook his head and rose from his seat. "I need something to drink now. I'm gonna stop by the bar again. Wanna come with? Get to know each other more?" The iron asked as he stretched and started slowly trotting toward the front door. Blitz did indeed want to get to know the colt more, after all he was one of his only friends. But Blitz had to rest for his game tomorrow. He looked at Ironsides and shook his head. "No. I have a football game tomorrow." Blitz answered as he too got out of his seat. the brown pegasus looked at Blitz in a surprised manner. "Oh. You play football?" he asked. Blitz smiled. "Yeah. We got to face a good team tomorrow. You should come watch us play."  Ironsides hook his head in agreement. "I'll come. Just make sure you win. I don't wanna come waste twenty bits just to watch your team get creamed." Blitz laughed. "They will try. But we shall prevail."

The two friends trotted toward the front door. "Listen. I hope you get better. I don't wanna keep seeing you all down all the time. If your feeling down, I'm feeling down." Ironsides said as he embraced Blitz in a hug. Blitz hugged him back. "You get better now. Take care Matt." he said as he trotted out the door. "You too Alex." Blitz responded as he shut his door. Blitz trotted to his room.

As he did Blitz thought he had it rough. Listening to Ironsides story was beyond recognition. Never has he heard of anypony leaving his childhood to avoid further suffering from the amounts of name calling and punishment he received. Even his parents think that pony is dead. Blitz had it backwards. His parents died, he is stuck with his problems, and he had an even worse story. To Blitz, his story was the worst anyway. The white pony climbed into his bed and he got some well deserved rest.

TIME: 6:30 PM

LOCATION: LAS PEGASUS MEMORIAL FIELD

It was silent in the locker room. All the ponies were dressed in their gameday jerseys and were ready to lay it all on the line. Blitz was leaning against a locker, as he had his helmet at his hooves and had his red and black jersey on, and the white colt was listening to the crowd outside the locker room that were waiting for a football game to start. The coach entered and all attention was on him.

"Ok stallions. Lets make sure you all know where your going. If your on offense raise your hoof." Eleven ponies had their hooves up. "Ok, offensive second string." Seven ponies raised their hooves. "Good. Starting defense." Eleven hooves up in the air. "Nice. Second string." Blitz raised his hoof and so did five others. "Ok. And special teams." Numerous stallions raised their hooves. The coach nodded in excitement. "Ok colts. Listen closely. The Trottingham Bears are one of the best teams in our division. If we beat them, there is no way any other team in our division can beat up. All you have to do is do your job out there. If one colt fails to do his job, we all fail. So, lets bring it in and lets go win us a game!" The team came in the center and held their helmets in the middle of the group. Magicka spoke. "Lets go get them boys! Gambles on three! One! Two! Three!" "Gambles!" shouted the entire team and they walked out toward the field.

Blitz trotted in the middle of the pack of football players as he made his way to the gaping hole which was the exit to the field where five thousand ponies were eager to see them play. Blitz's heart started pumping. He felt his adrenaline coming in as he was pumped to play some football. The team started galloping out now as they heard their introduction out onto the field. "And now ladies and gentlecolts. On your hooves for your, Las Pegasus Gambles!" The crowd cheered as their team ran out of the hall and onto the field.

Blitz smiled as he heard all the fans of his team all cheer as they all ran out. He loved the game of football. But he hated the fact that he never played. The entire first quarter Blitz watched from the sidelines as he watched Magicka throw pass after pass, and he watched as there defense was being dominated by Trottingham's offense. The same happened in the second quarter as he watched the same routine over and over again. Come halftime the Gambles were down 24-21. As the team filed in Blitz just leaned against the same old locker and sighed. He knew he wasn't going to go in. For he missed practice for two weeks because of his suspension.

"Ok colt. We are not doing bad out there." the coach said as he once again made his usual halftime speech. It was just the simple block down and follow your colt and more of the talk Blitz didn't need to get on about. As halftime passed and they went back out the team seemed dead. We were slacking, was what came to Blitz's mind. Throughout the third quarter the team surprising held on to a lead but they were up by three. The teams went back and forth as the clock was running out of time. But and unfortunate event happened.

The starting middle line backer got injured. In this late in the game too. Blitz felt a smile grow across his face. "Blitz!" the coach yelled as he looked down the sidelines for the white pegasus. Blitz wasted no time to run out on the field. As he ran he felt butterflies in his stomach. The feeling of being on a football field for the first time in a game was such an awesome feeling for the colt. The Bears had the ball on their own twenty-eight yard line. They needed to get to the Gamble's thirty for a field goal in less than a minute and fifty seconds. The main thing the defense had to do was just stop the offense from getting to the thirty, don't give up a touchdown, and try to intercept the ball. Blitz got into the huddle for the first time.

"Hey. Look who it is. Its Blitz the bitch." Shinning Armor said as he looked at Blitz and smiled. Blitz gave a sarcastic laugh and looked at the coach for the play. "Ok guys lets stop these assholes. 4-3 Cover 4." The defense broke. The offense broke at the same time and got into formation. The quarterback was in shotgun. He motioned a man. Blitz followed him as the colt snapped the ball. Blitz covered his man, but he did a short route. The quarterback seen his receiver and passed it. Blitz flew up smoked the receiver as he caught the ball and the play clock was still rolling.

The offense ran a hurry up and Blitz called the same defensive play. The ball was hiked and he dropped back. Blitz covered the middle of the field as he watched the quarterbacks eyes. He seen the quarterback look left and Blitz flew over to where he looking, but he quarterback fooled him and threw it to the other side and hooked up with a man in the middle of the field. Blitz couldn't catch him since he was way too far from getting the tackle. Renegade made the tackle out of bounds as the clock stopped at fifty eight seconds and the ball was on the Bears forty one yard line. Blitz got into the huddle.

"Those sons of bitches are cheating man. The damn receiver is fucking pushing me off as he goes to catch the damn ball." Renegade complained as he was buttoning his helmet. Blitz looked at him and smiled. "Just a few more seconds and it will all be over with man." he said as an encouragement. Blitz looked at the coach for the next play. "MLB Blitz Cover 3" he said as the defense broke their huddle. The offense broke theirs and came up to the line.

The quarterback was in shotgun again. He hiked the ball. Blitz galloped as fast as he could through the line. He was blocked from getting to the quarterback but he maneuvered through the blockers and crushed the quarterback. Blitz got up and jumped up and down as he got his first sack ever. But the hurry up was ran again and Blitz and his defense had to line up. Blitz knew that a pass deep was coming so he checked. "Hey! Check, 4-4 Cover 3! 4-4 Cover 3!" Blitz lined up in his spot. He knew deep in his soul that this could be the last play of the game. Blitz smiled and the quarterback hiked the ball. But that was all Blitz could remember after that.

Chapter 8: What Past?

The Infamous Life Of Blitz

Chapter 8

All that Blitz saw was white. Then black. Then white again. Then black. Blitz didn't know what was going on. "What happened to me?" he asked himself. "Why am I seeing black and white?!" Then he started to see something. It was blurry at first but got more visible the longer he stared. Finally it came into view. It was a ceiling. Blitz didn't understand. It was like he had his eyes open the entire time. He looked around. He seen posters that read "Get Flu Shot Today" and "Be Smart, Get A Check Up Today". Blitz looked around the room. It was full of medical equipment. It had a glove disposal trash can, a blood pressure instrument, and a whole bunch of other tools that doctors used. He sat up. He now realized he was on a hospital bed.

"What the hell?" Blitz said to himself. "Why am I here? What happened to me?" He flew off the bed and landed on the ground. "Do I have a broken bone?" he asked himself. He checked all around his body. Nothing was wrapped up. "Am I sick?" He took a deep inhale in and out. He breathed perfectly fine. He was now just pacing back and forth as he tried to figure out what the hell was going on. Just as soon as Blitz was about to get another random excuse for being in here, a stallion walked in. He was black and had a white jacket that symbolized that he was a doctor.

"Whoa. Whoa. Whoa there Blitz. You gotta sit down." he said as he took Blitz back up to the hospital bed. "Wait doctor. What is going on?" Blitz asked as he grabbed the doctor by his jacket. The doctor pushed the colt away and wiped the dust off his jacket. "Stay seated and be quiet." he said as he got out his clipboard. Blitz just gave the doctor a confused look as to why he ignored his question. The doctor then asked him a question. "What happened when you came in here?" he said as he held his clipboard and looked at Blitz.

"I don't know. I just woke up and I was in here. Why don't you tell me?" The doctor didn't answer. He just wrote on the clipboard and just shook his head. He spoke again, this time not looking at the colt. "Where do you live?" Blitz tsked. "I am currently living in Las Pegasus. Why?" The doctor just wrote on his clipboard yet again ignoring his question. The white stallion was now getting mad. He didn't like being ignored like this. Even when he doesn't know what was going on. "What is your name?" Blitz just gave the doctor a furious look. Out of all the questions he could of been asked he had to choose that one. Blitz felt a rage kicking in as he twitched his neck to the side. He wanted to beat the doctor down, for asking stupid questions and ignoring his questions. But he had to stay calm. So Blitz just put on a fake smile and answered in a crazy voice.

"Blitz. Whats your name?" The doctor nodded and answered. "Dr. Stepha." Blitz nodded as he yet again twitched. He had to hold in his anger, for when he gets angry he really cant control what he does. Just like in the locker room right after he got suspended. All Blitz did was just sigh. "Do you know who brought you in?" Blitz looked at the doctor confused. "Brought me in? Who brought me in? All I know is that I was playing a football game and then I was here. Why doc? Did something happened?" The doctor just wrote on his clipboard. "I'll leave your friend to explain that." he said as he exit the room. Blitz shook his head in confusion. "What happened to me?" he asked himself as he put his hooves to this eyes. It was silent. Then the door opened. Blitz looked at the doorway and seen a brown pony walk in.

"Ironsides? Whats going on? Why am I in here?" he asked as he just sat on the hospital bed. "Oh Thank Celestia! You Remember Me!" Ironsides said as he flew up to Blitz and gave him a hug. Blitz recoiled a bit and pushed Ironsides away. "Yeah. I remember you. Calm your wingboner. Why wouldn't I remember you?" Blitz said as he repositioned himself on the hospital bed. Ironsides looked at Blitz with confusion. "Blitz. Didn't the doctor tell you?" he said as he just tilted his head. Blitz was now starting to get nervous. "What do you mean?" he asked as he gave him a hesitant smile. Ironsides was appalled.

"Blitz. You got a concussion. A class A concussion. You were hit pretty hard at the football game. You kept asking questions like 'Where am I?' and 'When does halftime start?' and 'Where was your father.' You should of seen the crowd. We were all silent as we heard you screamed. I needed to come and see how you were doing because I got nervous and I didn't want to lose another friend. I thought you were going to die. But the good news is that you are alive and that's all I care about. I'm so glad your OK."

Blitz just sat on the bed in shock. He couldn't believe this. A concussion. Why a concussion? Why did he have to get his memory erased? Blitz just shook his head in disappointment. Ironsides came up and patted the white pegasus on the back. "How's my father?" Blitz asked as he was starring at the ground. Ironsides looked at him. "What?" he questioned. Blitz looked at the iron winged pegasus. "I said, how's my father? Is he OK?" Ironsides just starred at Blitz and he made a few facial expressions as he was trying to find words to say. Blitz just waited for an answer. The brown pegasus sighed.

"Blitz. Do you remember your past?" he asked as he looked Blitz in the eyes. Blitz recoiled at the question.

"What past?" he said as he was confused by his question.

"Do you remember anything about your childhood? Anything?" Blitz thought. He remembered him living with his aunt but she had her heart attack and his sister moved away due to her marriage. But that was all he remembered. Not even a single thought came to his mind as he tried to think back to the time he was born. He doesn't remember what his parents looked like. He doesn't remember his first word. He didn't even remember his first friend. Blitz looked at the ground once again, and he answered in a sad tone.

"No." Ironsides put his arm around him and comforted the pegasus. "I'm really sorry Blitz." he said as he looked at the doorway. Blitz shook his head. "Its not your fault I got a concussion." Ironsides looked at the down pegasus. "I know, but I really wish I could help." Blitz just sighed and just sat on the bed as he was just a wreck. First his marefriend broke up with him, then he was suspended from football, then as soon as he comes back to football he get a concussion and doesn't remember some times in his past. Blitz got up and trotted to the wall across form him. As he got to the wall he put a hoof on it and looked down. He closed his eyes. He felt tears come to his eyes and were pleading to come out. Blitz just stood there and was just breathing air. He heard Ironsides walk up besides him. Blitz felt a hoof touch his back.

"Blitz. Be glad your still alive. You are very luck too survive. The doctors told me you could of died from the impact of the hit. I may be no psychic. But I know someone doesn't want you to die. Somepony knows you deserve to live your life on this world. And they wouldn't let some hit take your life away. You are one of the toughest ponies I have ever met. Think about that." Blitz did think about it. If he lost all his memory then he would be rather off dead. He did sustain a large amount of memory loss, but he was alive. Even if it meant losing his memory of his childhood, he was glad to be alive. Blitz did love to be alive and would rather be alive than dead. He still had so much to live for. Even if he did have a rough life, he wasn't the only one. Their are many ponies in Equestria and throughout the Known World that have had a harder life than him. He was just another flower in a field. Blitz looked at Iron and smiled.

"Thank you Ironsides." he said as he had a crack in his voice. Blitz knew that Ironsides was more than a friend. He was more like a brother to Blitz. Even though he just met the iron pony, they became friends faster than a blink of an eye. The doctor came back in. "Blitz. We got the word. You can go now. Be sure to stay up and you'll be fine." Blitz nodded. "Thank you doctor." Ironsides trotted toward the door. Blitz followed close behind. "Hey Iron?" he asked. The brown pegasus looked at Blitz. "Do you wanna chat on the way to my house?" The iron horse smiled and put a hoof around the pegasus. "Never thought you'd ask." The two trotted out of the building and they both started to walk to Blitz's house.

Chapter 9: From Bad To Worse

The Infamous Life Of Blitz

~Chapter 9~

The two stallions were just walking down the street Blitz lived on. The two have been trotting ever since they left the hospital. They didn't wanna rush to get Blitz home, for they wanted to take some time to get to know each other more. Turned out,  Blitz and Ironsides shared a whole bunch of thing. They both loved the same reality TV show, "Found." They also loved to work out, and they just loved the same jokes. They shared so much, even Blitz couldn't keep track of how much they shared.

"..And...And then he said blow it out your ass!" Blitz said as he and Ironsides were laughing hard. Ironsides even stared rolling on the ground as he laughed as hard as he could. Blitz was about to collapse but he put a hoof on his iron friend as it kept him balanced. They were enjoying every moment together. The laughing lasted for five minutes as each time they looked at each other, it just made the two laugh even harder. They eventually stopped laughing and they both got up and started to trot down the street. Blitz was panting for all the laughing made it hard for him to breath.

"Wow. That is so funny." the white pegasus said as he shook his head with a smile on his face. Ironsides wiped his eyes due to all his laughter. "Yeah. I never knew you heard of that joke before. I thought nopony ever knew about it." he said as he looked at Blitz. The colt nodded. "Well, you finally found somepony who does know it." The two continued to walk. Blitz looked at Ironsides. He wondered if the colt has been with a mare before.

"Hey buddy? I got a question to ask you." he said as he bumped into him as they were trotting. Ironsides bumped him back. "Ask." "Have you ever been with a mare?" Ironsides laughed to himself. "Oh yeah." he said with a smile on his face. Blitz smiled back. "What was her name?" he asked as he looked forward to make sure he was still on the sidewalk. Ironsides looked at the colt. "Cherry Pie." he said with a short chuckle. "And she was something." Blitz continued to trot ahead of the brown pony. Not too far ahead, just enough so that only he was a neck behind the white pony. "What do you mean by 'something'?" he asked. He just chuckled. "You really want to know?" Blitz now galloped in front of the iron pony and turned around. He stood in the way of Ironsides so he couldn't pass. "Of course I want to know. Why wouldn't I?" he said with a short smile at the end of his sentence. Iornsides stepped aside and walked around Blitz. "Ok." he said as he passed him. The white colt turned around and trotted up next to the stallion, eager to listen to his story.

"It was a while ago. Maybe two years ago if I remember. Me and her loved each other so much. We did everything together. Hell we even fixed my engines, and let me tell you. Never let a mare fix a machine." he said with a chuckle. Blitz chuckled as he looked ahead. "Anyway. Me and her were the perfect couple. You would never see two ponies as happy as we were. The thing I loved about her was her personality and her eyes. Those solid red eyes. Those eyes, my friend were something. They were always shinning like diamonds. I never seen anything more beautiful than those eyes. I just loved her so much." Blitz got another question, but he felt like holding it. He thought it would be more of a personal question. Unfortunately Blitz's eagerness got the better of him.

"Did you get lucky with her?" he asked as he looked to the side as he blushed a little. Blitz always blushed as he talked about sex. The three letter word always made him feel funny. Ironsides laughed again as he looked at Blitz with a smile. "You bet your sweet ass I did. More than once too." he said as he looked forward again. Blitz thought. 'Damn. They did it more than once? I'm surprised he doesn't have a child by now.'

"How about you Blitz? Have you had sex before?"

Blitz didn't want to answer that question. He didn't want to because he never had sex before. Blitz just looked away from Ironsides and glanced at the houses on the opposite side of the street. Ironsides bumped him. "Come on buddy. You can tell me. I promise I won't tell nopony." he said in a happy tone. Blitz looked at Ironsides with a frown. He just didn't want to say it. He felt so embarrassed. The thought of him probably being the only pegasus in the city that hasn't gotten lucky yet. He looked down at the ground and closed his eyes. "Please?" the pony beside him asked in a friendly voice. Blitz knew he couldn't turn down that question. Not after somepony said please. Blitz kept his eyes closed as he said in a low tone.

"No. I'm still a virgin."

He waited for laughter form the other pegasus, even a chuckle. But he heard nothing. All he heard was a small "Hmm." The iron horse just put a hoof over his shoulder and shook his friend. "It's OK buddy. You'll meet that special somepony. And you two would have one hell of a night. Just be sure you pick the perfect pony. Don't be stupid like other ponies who just go and spend their V-Card on some whore of a pony and waste like it is some crushed piece of paper. I sure made the right choice, and you should make the right choice too." Blitz suddenly felt a little better. Ironsides pointed out the good things about not losing you virginity. Blitz thought that was every colt mission was to do. But the way he explained it, it sounded like it was one of the least things he would focus on. The white pegasus looked at his friend and gave him a smile. "Thanks Alex. Ill keep that in mind." he said as he pushed the stallion away in a friendly way. Ironsides laughed and pushed the colt back. "That is if you'll be able to remember it." he said, mocking his condition. Blitz laughed sarcastically. They both kept trotting until they came by a house.

"Uh, Blitz." Ironsides said as he stopped. "What?" Blitz said as he stopped and looked back at his brown friend. Ironsides pointed to a house. "Is that your house?" Blitz looked to where the stallion was pointing. The colt's eyes immediately lit up. It was indeed his house, but it was being emptied out by movers. They were gathering all of Blitz's furniture and placing it all in a huge moving truck. "Hey!" Blitz shouted as he flew to his yard. The movers continued to move his furniture to the truck. "Wait! What the hell is this?! What are you doing?!" he said as he flew up to stallion to stallion pleading them to stop. None listened. Blitz just kept on telling them to stop. After a while of useless requesting, Blitz was interrupted by a voice.

"Are you Blitz?" it said in a masculine voice. Blitz looked around for the stallion. "Yeah. Whats it to you?" he said as he kept on searching. "You are late on your payments. And we are not waiting any longer." Blitz finally caught eye with the stallion. He was a tall muscular pony. He had a black mane that was up in spikes and he had a purple coat. His eyes were hidden behind sunglasses, and he wore a black suit. "What the hell are you doing?!" he yelled at the strange pony. He got out a badge. It read: IRS in big golden letters. "I'm part with the IRS, and it seems you haven't been paying your bills or house payment. So, we are simply evicting you and putting your house up for sale." he said as he put his badge away. Blitz looked at the movers, then his house, then back at the IRS agent. "I have been paying them. I just haven't had the money to pay it all." he said as he was trying to reason with the agent. He simply just walked aside and headed toward the street. "Well we aren't dealing with it anymore. I'm sorry but you now are currently restricted to be on this property." Blitz flew after him and flew beside the agent.

"Is there anyway I could stop this? Please?" he said as he was now panicking. "I'm sorry." the agent said. "But the house is already up to buy. They only choice you have is to buy the house." Blitz was now losing hope. He was hoping that the house could be in his range. "How much is the house now?" he asked in a scared tone. The agent stopped and thought for a second. Blitz was hoping that he would say at least five thousand bits.

"Its about....thirty thousand bits now. That's the cheapest house on the block."

Blitz's wings stopped moving, and he fell to the ground in complete shock. The agent just looked at Blitz and walked away. "Get the rest of the furniture out of here. We gotta head out." he said to the movers. Blitz was in total shock. Not only did he get a concussion, he lost his aunt's house now. He just laid on the sidewalk and just starred straight ahead. Ironsides walked up beside him.

"Blitz." he said in a low voice. The white colt said nothing. He just stared across the street not even saying a word. "Blitz. I'm so sorry." the iron colt said trying to comfort the stallion. Blitz didn't move. He didn't even blink hardly. "Blitz. Say something." Blitz looked at Ironsides. "What is there to say?" he said as he got up and walked to the middle of the street. He turned around and looked at Ironsides, who was just standing in one spot just looking at the white pegasus. "I Just Lost My House Alex!" he shouted. Ironsides trotted up to Blitz. But Blitz turned around and flew off. "Blitz!" the iron horse shouted, "Where are you going?!" "To football. Its the only damn thing I have left to live for!" he responded as he flew off in the distance.

Blitz finally made it to the field. He landed hard on his hooves as he went straight for the coach's office. Blitz felt anger coming, but he had to sustain it. If he got mad at the coach, he would probably get suspended again. He knocked on the door. "Coach? It's Blitz." he said as he waited for an answer. The door opened. "Blitz. Wow. Your alive. I thought you were dead." he said as he leaned against the door way. Blitz sighed. "Coach. I came here to ask if I can get a raise. I need it badly." he pleaded as he was now desperate. The coach just looked at Blitz. "Come in son." he said as he turned around and went back to his seat. Blitz entered. The whole room was full of papers and playbooks. Blitz could hardly step on the ground. There was a chalkboard that was covered in plays and names for it was where coach came up with all the plays we do. And there was an projector on his desk with a screen on the wall across from it so he could watch the game film. The coach sat down and pressed a button on the projector. "Blitz. I want you to look at this." he said as he leaned back in his chair. Blitz turned to look at the screen.

It was the game from last night. He watched as coach fast forward it to the end of the game. Blitz saw the offense line up and he heard himself yell, "Hey! Check, 4-4 Cover 3! 4-4 Cover 3!", and he seen the quarterback drop back. He hang back for a while looking for a man. The defensive line was enclosing on the quarterback. He threw it. And it was caught. But not by a receiver. But By Blitz. He picked the ball off and he was running toward the end-zone. The crowd was erupting in cheers. He seen himself run as fast as he could. But he seen another player enclosing on the other side of the field. He was catching up with Blitz. He was directly side by side with Blitz, but he was ten yards away from him. It looked like he was going ahead of him. Then the colt turned toward Blitz and ran straight across field.

Then their was contact.

The player hit Blitz so hard it literally knocked Blitz's helmet off and he flew ten yards out of bounds and hit the fence that kept all the action inside. With his head. Blitz covered his mouth at the sight of him being crushed. The crowd erupted with a big sound of pain. More like a 'Oh' but in a painful tone. Then the crowd was silent. But he seen himself get up and grab his helmet as he went back to the sidelines. And then he heard questions. They got louder and louder. Still the crowd was still silent. Blitz was just screaming in confusion. That's when the paramedics arrived and took Blitz away. Coach ended the film. Blitz looked back at the coach.

"Listen Blitz. You can't play for us anymore. You can't play football in general." he said as he just sat in his chair. "..." "Blitz. I'm sorry to say it. But you can't play any sport. If you get hit that hard again, you will die." Coach said as he got up and walked over to Blitz. "..." He just looked at the white pegasus. "I'm sorry son." he said as he put a hoof on Blitz. Blitz was just..... he was.....

([Sigh] You Figure It Out. I Can't Even Describe How He Is Even Feeling. The Colt Now Truly Lost Everything. His Marefriend, His Memory, His House, And Now His Job. Blitz Is Just Very Crushed Now I Expect.)

Blitz just got up and trotted out of the building. "Blitz?" asked the coach, but he was interrupted by Blitz closing the door. The white colt just went to the bleachers and laid down on them like a dog in its bed. He closed his eyes and tears ran down his face. The colt actually felt all his emotions just explode. All that remained was his sadness. Blitz just gave hiccups of depression as he now couldn't do anything. He didn't even have enough bits to go get his certificate. He has truly lost everything.

Ironsides later arrived in the stands and sat next to the now broken pony. "Blitz." he said in a calm voice. "Blitz. Don't worry. It will all be OK." He stroked the white colt as he too was starting to tear up from the poor colts misery. Blitz didn't move. He just laid on that one spot and cried. Ironsides spoke. "Blitz. I'm gonna take you in. You can live with me. I'll help you get you back on your hooves. Your my friend and I don't ever want you to be sad ever again." he said as he just kept stroking him. Blitz got up slowly and looked at Ironsides with tears in his eyes. He said nothing. The white pegasus didn't want to say anything. He just looked at his friend, telling him to lead the way to his house. "Lets go Blitz. You need a friend in your life." Ironsides said as he flew off in the direction toward his house. Blitz took off and followed. He wiped his eyes for it just blurred his vision.

The two finally made it to Ironsides house. It was decent size and next to his house was his roundhouse, which held his trains that he worked and drove for Equestria. Ironsides went to Blitz and helped him into his house. "I'm so sorry, Blitz. It just went from bad to worse for you. I know I'm doing the right thing for you. Lets just hope you get better buddy." he said as he put a hoof around his heartbroken friend. They both went into the Ironsides's house. As Blitz was escorted in he finally spoke to his friend. "They will Alex." he said as he turned around and put his hoof on the door. "They will." Blitz closed the door and there was silence.

Chapter 10: Start Of A New Life

The Infamous Life Of Blitz

~Chapter 10~

"Happy birthday, Blitz!" said a very familiar voice. The white pegasus was greeted with a pounce on his bed. Blitz just turned over in his bed ignoring the sudden surprise from his friend. Ironsides just shoved the sleeping pegasus. "Lets go lazy ass. You gotta go out and do something wild. After all, it is your eighteenth birthday." Blitz now remembered. He was eighteen. Just yesterday it felt like he was fifteen. The day he lost everything, but his good, no, best friend took him under his wind. Or more specifically his iron wing. "Come on, Blitz. We gotta go out and celebrate." Blitz turned and faced the iron horse. He just smiled. "Well then," he said in a smile, "Let's go celebrate then. Just let me get up and Ill get freshened up." The brown pegasus nodded and headed downstairs. "Ill be waiting by the door." he said as he started walking downstairs.

Blitz then proceeded to get out of his bed. He really couldn't believe he was already eighteen. It was probably all the great times he had with his best friend. Having somepony that Blitz loved around all the time seemed to drain most of his sadness away. Everyday they would have a new story to tell. Even if it was something as stupid as trotting in the backyard. But Blitz and the iron winger were like brothers now. Three years have passed since Blitz's dreams were all crushed.

He didn't like to think back on the whole topic anymore. For he was living in the present, and not the past. The white pegasus proceeded to walk to his bathroom just across from his bed. Blitz really never thanked Ironsides for giving him a home, a bed, food, and for just taking care of him in the first place. He would thank him for all that later. For now, he had to go get freshened up. Blitz entered the bathroom and looked right into the mirror. He didn't even look as bad as he always did. He really didn't even change a bit. The only thing that changed on the white pegasus was his height and weight. He wasn't really to fat. He was just on the average scale and was in tip top shape. He would of been fat if it wasn't for Ironsides pushing him to workout with him. Once again, another thing Blitz had to thank him for.

He groomed his hair. Styled up, and then combed back. Blitz thought about making his mane a trademark. He pictured it. On all the banners and posters on him posing. He laughed at the idea. But that laugh was stopped by Blitz looking at his flank.

It was still blank.

Just an old patch of his white coat covered where his cutie mark was suppose to be. The thought of being eighteen and not even having a cutie mark kind made Blitz feel embarrassed to go out in public. That was another thing Blitz kept his mind off of. So what if he didn't have his cutie mark. It just only means he hasn't really found his special talent, and nopony should make fun of a colt who really hasn't found out what he is really good at. If somepony did, then they would have a price to pay. Even though Blitz hasn't really gotten mad lately, he still had that rage inside him and he was ready to unleash it on anypony who got on his nerves. The last time Blitz really got annoyed by anypony was at football practice when he literally picked up Magicka and slammed him to the ground. He just kept it to himself as he was always waiting for that unfortunate pony to just come up and try to make his day a living hell. That day will come, but for now Blitz had to go celebrate his birthday with his best friend.

The white pegasus then proceeded to the stairs to meet his best friend, for he was waiting to celebrate with his best friend. As Blitz finally descended downstairs he noticed something. The lights in the living room were off. He looked around. "Uh. Ironsides? Why are the lights off?" he asked to the empty room as he waited for a response from his friend.No answer. The thing was that Blitz didn't know where the hell Ironsides could be. He was just upstairs about a few seconds ago, and now he just disappeared like that? There was no way. Blitz didn't even hear the door to his house open and close. Ironsides was still in the house.

"Oh. I see what you are trying to do you iron bastard. You want to play a nice lovely game of hide and go fuck yourself." he chuckled. "Well you have fun with that buddy. I'm not wasting time trying to find your ass. I'll be at the bar if you need me. OK?" All Blitz heard was the air blow past him and the sound of the birds chirping outside. Blitz slowly made his way toward the door as he kept looking around to see where the brown pegasus was hiding. "I'll take that as an OK. I guess I'll see you later bro." Blitz then turned around and opened the door.

All of a sudden he was pounced on by another pony. Blitz was tackled to the ground and was pinned as he seen the brown pegasus stood over him. Ironsides laughed.

"Happy Birthday, Buddy!" he screamed as he ruffled Blitz mane up with he hoof. Blitz smiled and chuckled a bit. "Celestia damn it, Ironsides. You nearly gave me a heart attack." The pony laughed and offered a hoof up. "Well, you still look alive my friend. Plus I made something for you. Its something you like a whole lot." Blitz fixed his mane up a bit and grabbed his hoof. "What is it?" he said as Ironsides pulled him back onto his hooves. Ironsides then proceeded to the kitchen. Blitz followed close behind as he was eager to know what he made for the birthday colt.

They both entered the kitchen, and Blitz was greeted by a large cake. Blitz was amazed with it. It was a huge cake that filled the whole 8x8 table. It was very detailed with vanilla icing and red frosting all around the cake. In the middle had written in oats, 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY BLITZ'. Blitz laughed as he trotted to the cupboard to get plates.

"How long did this take you, Ironsides?" he asked as he grabbed two paper plates. The brown pegasus flew to a seat and sat down. "Not long. It took like all of last night. I can bake, Blitz, but I'm better at caring for trains. Don't think all because I'm a conductor, I can't bake. I can do a whole bunch of things, buddy." he said as he waited patiently for his plate. "Except fly." Blitz said as he gave Ironsides his plate. The iron pegasus just gave Blitz a dirty look. "Listen pal. I can't fly because of my wings." he said as he flapped his iron wings. Blitz sat down and nodded. "I know. But those bad boys look awesome on you." Ironsides smiled and gave Blitz a piece of cake. Blitz thanked the brown pegasus.

The two then sat and ate the cake until only four piece of it were left. Ironsides got up and headed toward the front door. Blitz didn't know why. After eating he usually went upstairs to work on blueprints for his new engine 2398. "What are you doing?" he asked as he got up and flew to his friend. Ironsides opened the door and turned toward the pegasus. "Its your birthday, buddy. Lets go celebrate." The pegasus took off and flew up into the sky. Blitz trotted out of the house and looked up at Ironsides.

"Come on, Blitz. You lead, I follow." Blitz smiled as he closed the door and flew up after him. As he caught up with him the two just looked around as they could see the city of Las Pegasus in the distance. "Hey Iron." asked Blitz. The brown pegasus looked at him. "I wanna go to that mountain you found me on that on day. Remember?" he said as he did a loop. "Oh. You mean the one you flew off to because you were so depressed you had to go fly off? I see no problem with that." he said as he smiled. Blitz smiled back and flew off toward Mt. Snakeye, as Ironsides followed the white pegasus. Blitz remembered that day exactly. He was too sad to even be around anypony. Iron tried to comfort the him, but all Blitz did was fly off to the mountain. He didn't know how Ironside found him, but Blitz was really close to ending his life at that moment. That was more than three years ago, and a week after Blitz moved in with Ironsides.

The two finally made it without any problems. Blitz landed lightly on his hooves, while Ironsides landed with a loud thud. Blitz flinched at the sound and gave him a look of disappointment. "What?" he brown pegasus asked. Blitz just shook his head. "You gotta learn to land a whole lot lighter on your hooves." He then proceeded to the end of the cliff and sat down. He observed the whole view of Las Pegasus and beyond. He could see Manehattan in the distance and he could see the desert town that was Appleloosa, just enough to where he could see the buildings on the horizon. Blitz just loved the view. He could see everything at the height he was at.

"Tis a nice view." he heard his iron friend say. Blitz looked at him. "Yes." he said as he looked back ahead at the view. He closed his eyes and felt the warm sun heat his coat. "Yes it is." Ironsides sat beside him. "So, what'd you want to come up here for, buddy?" he said as he too looked out toward Equestria. Blitz was quiet, as he wanted to enjoy this moment.

"The view. The silence." he said as he took a deep breath and exhaled. "Peace."

Ironsides chuckled a bit. "Seems like one doesn't get a bunch of that these days." he said with a short sigh at the end. Blitz stayed silent for a bit. He thought back to that day. The day when he flew up here. He wondered why Ironsides came back for him. He opened his eyes and looked at the iron winger.

"Hey, Al." he asked. The brown pegasus looked at Blitz and gave him a smile. "Why did you come get me after I flew away that day?" Ironsides frowned. He took off his glasses and placed them on the ground next to him. "Well." he said as he turned to face Blitz.

"I knew you were very upset still after your whole losing your house, job, and pretty much everything. But I knew you needed somepony to care and love you. You living on your own in a world like this, you needed somepony to be around to make you smile and make you feel good. Even though I lost my parents and everything back then, I needed someponyelse to be with me. Cherry Pie was there for a while but she didn't last long. I was pretty much in the same situation you were. Sad, depressed, and didn't want to live anymore. To be honest my friend, that day we met at the bar was gonna be the last day I was going to live. Then you showed up. You explained your situation and I knew deep down that you were in a similar situation I was in. We had something in common. The main reason I actually came to get you was because if you left, it will be like losing a brother to me, and I don't wanna go through something like that again. Now look at us. We are really just like brothers. I just love you man." Ironsides gave Blitz a hug.

Blitz was shocked. He never knew that he actually mattered to somepony. Indeed they really did share a whole lot of things and they got along real well, but what Iornsides said touched Blitz. Blitz hugged the stallion tightly as he started to shed tears of joy. "I love you too." he said as he pulled away from the hug. Just then Ironsides put his glasses back on and walked back his bag he brought. Blitz looked back at the stallion.

"Hey, Blitz. I almost forgot to tell you. I gotta give you your present." he said as he went in his bag to grab something out of it. "Ok." he said as he got up and proceeded to where he was. Ironsides tossed something at Blitz, and it landed on the ground right in front of Blitz's hooves.

"Remember that one job you said you wanted but could never get it because you needed a certificate?" he said. Blitz nodded as he looked at the thing he tossed. It was a brochure. A brochure to the Weather School in Cloudsdale. Blitz looked back at Ironsides. Even though Blitz still had nine months left until that job deadline ended for that weather pony position, he didn't think Ironsides. Just at that moment Ironsides pulled out a envelope and gave it to Blitz. He opened it. And in was a money and a pass for a free room in Ponyville.

Blitz felt his body explode, as he gave a huge smile to Ironsides. He nodded at Blitz. "Looks like somepony is going to get an awesome job." he said with a smile. Blitz then tackled the colt and gave him a giant hug. Ironsides couldn't breath for Blitz was crushing the colt. "Oh Thank You Ironsides! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!" he screamed as he squeezed harder. "Yeah....you....welcome....Blitz" he said as he was struggling to breath. The colt let go and bounce up and down and laughing. Ironsides just tried to catch his breath as he put a hoof on his happy friend. Blitz stopped bouncing and looked at the colt. "Listen. The train I'm taking to Canterlot is going to stop at Ponyville. Once there, you can get that room and then settle in. Once you get that certificate you'll be able to get that job and do whatever you want." Blitz just gave Ironside another hug, one that he could breath this time. "Thank you buddy." Blitz said as he was now had a chance to start a new life.

Chapter 11: An Annoying Welcome

The Infamous Life Of Blitz

Chapter 11

Blitz looked off in the distance ahead of him to see the upcoming town of Ponyville. The colt was excited as ever as he was bouncing in place as he kept his grin nice and wide. "I can't believe you are doing this for me, Ironsides!" he said as he looked back at the iron winger as he was conducting his train. Ironsides just gave Blitz a short smile as he was too busy keeping his train in order. Blitz then moved around the cab of the train. The smell of the smoke coming from the funnel of the engine made Blitz a little dizzy, for he didn't really like being in smoke, but it was the least of his worries. Why matter about something you hate when you are about to do something you wanted to do for a long time. That certificate was getting closer and closer with each chug of the trains wheels. To other ponies, it was the sound of a locomotive moving on the tracks. To Blitz, it was the sound of his dream inching and inching its way to him. The pegasus never been so excited in his life. This will be a moment that he will never forget for as long as he lives. Blitz made his way back to the side of the cab and he stuck his head out of the cab to let the wind blow across his face. The town was now within a mile away.

"Hey Ironsides." asked the white pegasus as he looked off toward Ponyville. The conductor responded. "What is it, Blitz?" He faced the conductor. "Do you know anypony from Ponyville?" The iron pegasus just looked at him as he couldn't quite hear him from the constant chugging from his engine and the whistles signaling the train arriving to the town. "What's that Blitz? I couldn't hear you." he said as he looked in the direction where Blitz was standing. The colt trotted forward a bit and repeated his question to him, this time in a voice to where he could hear him. Ironsides shook his head.

"The whole reason I got you that free room was from a good friend. He was generous enough to get you a room for as long as you want. That is until you get your certificate of course. His name is Applejuice. He and I were good friends in the past. He knows his ways to get free crap in Equestria, and he is pretty darn good at it." he said as continued to conduct his train. Blitz nodded and cracked his neck to get loose. "I see. This is really a great gift from you Ironsides. I can't thank you enough." He looked at the white colt and just smiled. "It is the least I can do for you Blitz. After all, you deserve this." he answered as he went up to pat Blitz on his back. He responded by pulling the brown colt into a hug. Blitz wanted this hug to be special. He didn't know how he could ever repay Ironsides for giving him this opportunity. It brought Blitz to the point to were he was so happy for Ironsides, Blitz planted a kiss on Ironsides cheek. Not one of a lover, but one as a family member. Ironsides recoiled a bit. Blitz figured that the iron winger was unaware of the kiss and kind of took it the wrong way, but all Ironsides did was smile and pulled the white pegasus into a tighter hug.

"I love you, man." Blitz said as he closed his eyes and looked down a bit. He felt Ironsides do the same. "I love you too, man. I will always. You’re like a brother to me, Blitz. I don't care what happens to us. As long as we stay together, there is nothing that could hold us down. I could once honestly say that I am very happy to call you my brother." Blitz smiled and teared up a bit, for it was one of the best things that he had ever heard in his life. Another moment that could be stored in the back of the colt mind. One moment that he would never forget for as long as he lived. Ironsides pulled out of the hug and, for some reason, his face lit up.

"Oh, shoot!" the brown pegasus yelled as he was about to miss the stop. Blitz looked back outside of the cab. The town was now at least within two hundred yards. He knew Ironsides engine, 2398, needed to be at least five hundred yards away to make a decent stop. After all he still was a prototype, and he really wasn't fit enough to handle such a stop. "Hold on, Blitz. We are coming in hot." Ironsides said as he went for the brakes. Blitz quickly turned around. "Wait. What?!" he said confused. The conductor, without hesitation, pulled the brake handle back as hard as he could. The white pegasus fly forward a bit, slamming into the controls. Luckily he hit the bare metal of the control panel and avoided the important gages knobs that were crucial for the train to travel. Blitz staggered from the blow, but he quickly recovered and gained his balance. But something was amiss. Blitz let go of a very important item. "Shit! The envelope!" he shouted as he watched the envelope containing his future float away quickly.

"No!" Blitz shouted as he launched from his spot and flew after his envelope. In a blink of an eye the envelope was within a hooves reach, but as he tried to grab hold of it, it kept on floating away. Every attempt to capture it, the envelope kept on floating in a different direction. It went up, down, side to side, looped loops, twirls, and pretty much almost every aerial trick in the floating away paper book. "Come on!" Blitz yelled to himself as he kept on failing to get his future. But just when Blitz thought he had it, the envelope took a nose-dive. The worse part was if that envelope got close enough to the ground, it would get swooped into the wheels of the train cars and it would get shredded into a thousand pieces.

Blitz's eyes shot open in shock as he could literally feel his heart skip a beat. He lunged after the envelope with a big flap of his wings. Time seemed to go in slow motion from that point on. It seemed that the letter was too far down for Blitz to grab, or he over shot the envelope, or he was just too late on timing. Just when reality seemed to go back to normal, Blitz caught the envelope in his mouth. He did a few summersaults in the air before stabilizing and floating in the air. The white pegasus opened up his eyes and looked down at the letter that was currently in his muzzle. Blitz smiled and did a back flip in the air as he celebrated his amazing catch. When he was done, he looked back at the train. It made a complete stop where the station was and all the ponies were exiting the train cars. The colt flew back to go see if his iron friend was ok.

Ironsides came out of the cab with a sigh of relief. "There you are, Blitz" he said as he watched our white friend land in front of him, "You scared me when you took off like that." Blitz put the envelope down and put his hoof on it, to make sure that it wouldn't blow away. "Yeah, sorry about that. It's just that the envelope kind of flew off when I accidentally let go of it. So, I had to go after it. You know how important this is to me." The brown stallion chuckled. "I bet you were having a heart attack when you tried to grab that thing." Blitz just sarcastically laughed back at Ironsides. "No duh I was having a heart attack. If I lost this I was screwed." he said raising his voice. His friend recoiled. "Whoa. Sorry man. I was just being literal." he said as he went back into his cab.

Blitz picked the envelope back up with his mouth. A few seconds later, Ironsides came back out with Blitz's saddlebag. "Don't want to forget this do you?" he said as he put the black and red bag on his friends back. The colt nodded and put the envelope in his saddlebag. "Thanks, Ironsides. For everything." he said as he pulled his friend in for one more hug. "I will be back, buddy." he said over Blitz's shoulder, "Don't act like I'm never going to see you again." Blitz pulled out of the hug. "I know." he said as he looked at Ironsides. "But I'm going to miss you. You staying in Canterlot is big for you too. You’re going out for the Royal Equestrian Railway. You and I are perusing our dreams my friend, and this is the point where we make our separate ways." Ironsides put his hoof over his shoulder and shook his friend. "I know, Blitz. We are grown stallions now, and we have to travel down the path of life. Just remember, I'm always here for you." Blitz smiled at the iron winger and pulled him in an embrace; for this was thee very last hug before they wouldn't see each other again for a while. Ironsides pulled away form the hug and flew to his cab.

"All aboard!" he yelled, "Next stop, Canterlot!" he then proceeded back to the controls. Ironsides looked at the white pegasus and nodded his head. "You’re going to go far, Blitz! Just be yourself, and you'll be the greatest pegasus in all of Equestria! I guarantee it!" he yelled out to him over the chugging and steam being produced from the pistons and gears from the wheels. The colt waved to his brother and watched as the train kept on rolling down the tracks until the whole train was gone and all that was heard was the chugging and whistling. "See you soon, buddy." Blitz said as the train finally disappeared.

He turned around and looked up. A big white sign with pink font color read, 'Welcome To Ponyville'. The colt sighed and looked straight ahead. The ponies in this town seemed to be way different from the ponies back in Las Pegasus. They were calmer. No business ponies were in sight. No lawyers, clients, CEOs, not even a single pony was dressed in a business uniform. He was so use to seeing everypony in such a rush to go places, on the phone, or just plain talking to some big company manager. They were all just being normal. Everypony was just either walking by themselves, with a friend, or in a group. The weird part to Blitz was that they all sounded happy. Very happy by that matter. He never heard so many ponies laughing and giggling all at once. Blitz trotted forward and tried to think about how he could make new friends in this town. After all, he was going to be staying here for a while, and he sure as hell wasn't going to be a loner in a town like this.

He finally made his way to the streets of Ponyville. What was pretty surprising for Blitz was how big the "small town" was. Ironsides always told him that it has never been big enough to actually be called a city, but what Blitz comprehension was a whole lot different. Each street had at least twenty houses, some bigger than others. He also saw the huge building that seemed to mark the middle of the town. And the ponies. They littered the streets. Everywhere there were ponies. All the different kinds of them too. Earth, unicorn, and pegasus alike were all crowding the town. Blitz was amazed. For a small town, it lived up to city standards. Well, to Blitz at least. He went into his saddlebag and got out his envelope. He opened it and checked the ticket for the free room. '787 S. Mane Lane' read the address. He put the ticket back into the envelope and put it back within his saddlebag. He then proceeded to go to his new apartment, all for himself.

"Hmmmm," Blitz thought to himself, "Since it could be considered to be my apartment, I could do whatever I want in it." A smile spread across his face as an idea popped into his head. He always seemed to get random ideas in his head and sometimes he really couldn't get them out. This idea, however, was easy and he could do it in no time. Ideas were what Blitz was always good at getting. If its one gift he has in his personality, it has got to be his idea making. He looked up at the sky. It was rather quite clear than he expected. Perhaps more clear than Las Pegasus. Then again there is a weather center just located not even ten miles away from where he was standing. He searched in the sky to see if he could see any of the weather ponies were on duty. They were hard to see considering they were probably all flying around trying to get what ever clouds they could get.

Suddenly, Blitz seen something on a cloud. He stopped trotting to see if he could really see if there really was something there. The white pegasus could fly up there, but he wanted his bag to stay close by him. He was after all in a town that he has no idea about. Somepony could just come by and just swipe his saddlebag up and just gallop away with it. Blitz just stayed on the ground and looked at the cloud. It was hard to tell, considering that the cloud looked to be high up in the sky. He looked harder and could see it only a little better. There defiantly was something on that cloud. A pony by the looks of it. He looked as hard as he could. He finally seen a rainbow tail, cyan main, and a...

All too soon Blitz heard something. It sounded like somepony stopping right behind him. He turned around and was greeted literally face to face with another pony. Blitz recoiled as he was startled by the sudden appearance of another pony. Blitz got back far enough to give the mare and himself some room. He just stared at the mare and she did too. She had pink eyes, and a pink cotton-candy like mane. The expression on her face looked like in a state of confusion. "Umm... Can I help you with something?" Blitz asked her. The pink mare took a step closer to him. "I don't recall seeing you here." she said in a high pitched voice,

"Are you new here?" Blitz was hesitant at first. This mare looked to be a little scary.

"Umm," Blitz said as he looked around the streets and then back to the pink pony. "Yes?" he answered in confusion. The pink pony jumped off her hooves and literally stayed in the air for a good three seconds gasping in shock. She landed back on the ground and zipped over to Blitz's side in a hurry.

"Oh no! You’re a new pony here in Ponyville?! If your new here you must not know anypony! And if you don’t know anypony then that means your lonely! And if your lonely then that means you're going to be sad! And if a new pony in Ponyville doesn't know anypony and is lonely and sad, then that makes me very upset!" she screamed. She then zoomed in front of Blitz and started shaking his hoof very rapidly. "Well I'm going to change that all around, because everypony deserves to smile. Well enough about that. Hi. I'm Pinkie Pie and I live in Sugarcube Corner here in town. Its just located right over there. I'm glad to of finally gotten your aquantince. Now whats your name?"

She stopped shaking his hoof and she jumped up in the air and landed on the ground with a thud and looked as though she was about to listen to a old ponies tale. Blitz just stood in shock and silence. He was still trying to back track of what just happened. The mare went so fast back and forth, and she was so fast in her short little speech. 'Well,' he thought to himself, 'that escalated quickly.' Blitz cleared his throat and spoke in a reassuring tone. "My name is Blitz. I didn't quite catch..."

"Hi, Blitz! It's so nice to know your name now. I believe you are the only pony in town whose name is Blitz, and I know everypony in Ponyville. And by everypony, I mean EVERYPONY! I even know some other ponies that are currently located outside of Ponyville too. I think I probably know another pony named Blitz. Let’s see. Oh Yeah! Wait no that was Banana Splits. Oh I believe... No that was Schmitz. Oh! Oh! Oh! Blitz! Yes! Oh. Right. Blitzkrieg. Well that’s all the names that can come to mind. Anyway enough about that what were you trying to say?" She jumped again and landed the same way and was in the same position as last time.

Blitz yet again was trying to catch up on what she was trying to say. He shook his head. "What? Oh, sorry. I was trying to say what your name was again?" he asked as he flapped his wings. She jumped back up and she was face to face with Blitz. Literally.

"Pinkie Pie. I said that already. What are you death or something?" she said as she was just staring straight into Blitz's eyes. Blitz was silent for a few seconds before answering with a short and quick, "No." Pinkie Pie smiled and jumped backwards and began to hop in place. Blitz shook his head again for now it seemed like he was in a trance for a couple of seconds. "So." he said as he cleared his throat again,

"Pinkie Pie. I'm glad I finally got to meet you. I would love to chat more but I have to go to my apartment." Pinkie Pie just still hopped in place as she looked to of ignored Blitz. "Well, I think I'll go now." the white pegasus said as he turned around and started trotting again. "Where's this apartment of yours?" the pink ball of energy said as she hopped beside his following him at his side. Blitz scooted over a bit for now he was getting a little uncomfortable. "Its on 787S.Mane Lane." he said as he looked at each of the buildings of Ponyville. "Well if its a guide you need, then I'll be your guide indeed!" she said with a happy tone. Blitz nodded at her and started following her. Then, yet again, he spoke again.

"You see I've been here for Celestia knows how long. I can show you every corner, bump, street, and even dirt road of this town. You see when I was a little filly, I grew up on a rock farm with my family. It was challenging times and everypony was sad all the time on that single farm. It was day in and day out that I..." Blitz heard nothing but the voice of Pinkie Pie as she seemed to explain to her entire life story to him. After nonstop talking from Pinkie Pie and at least a few hours of walking around the town, Pinkie and Blitz finally made it to the apartment.

"...And then I told her 'Well you should get the hay and baked grass sandwich.' and she said 'I'd rather go with the oatmeal' and I was like 'Oatmeal are you craz,"

"THANK YOU, PINKIE PIE!" Blitz shouted as he just looked straight ahead of him with his eyes closed, "NOW IF YOU CAN PLEASE EXCUSE ME, I HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF SERIOUS MATTERS! SO CAN YOU BE SOOO KIND AS TO GO HOME NOW, OR GO TALK TO SOMEPONY OTHER THAN ME, PLEASE!"

Blitz opened his eyes halfway and continues to stare forward with a look of annoyance on his face. There was silence for a while. At first, Blitz thought he made the pink pony upset at first. Just as soon as he was about to say sorry, she spoke as she hopped in place.

"Okey Dokie Lokey. We will be seeing each other around." Pinkie then turned around and hopped away. Blitz watched as the pink pony hopped out of his sight. "Thank you." Blitz said as he looked up at the now dusk sky. Although Pinkie Pie was very annoying with her never ending story, still it was good to know that Blitz had at least on friend now in Ponyville.

"Oatmeal?" he said to himself as he trotted in the apartment building, "What in all of Equestria has that mare been talking about? ... Oatmeal. Jez." he said shaking his head.
