_________________________________________________________________________________________________

Big Macintosh was telling the story of what just happened with Ashley, Applejack and Callum and Rainbow Dash telling their parts. Twilight and Fluttershy were listening carefully while Rainbow and Applejack were more interested in the fight scenes. Ashley remembered that his nose was broken and got Callum to snap it back into place. Let’s just say that all the ponies were disgusted by the sound of it except Callum who smiled through it while Ashley screamed in pain.

“I could have performed a healing spell on you...” Twilight said, trying to forget what she just saw.

“Twilight please...” Ashley looked at the purple unicorn “I’ve had much worse than a broken nose.”

“Really? Like what?” Rainbow asked “I bet it wasn’t as painful as breaking a wing or having 2 of your legs broken at the same

time or slamming into a mountain at a fast speed!”

“I’m guessing you’re talking about yourself there Rainbow. Now imagine several small pieces of metal traveling at a very high speed that tear through flesh easily. The pieces of metal are known as bullets” Ashley rolled up one his trouser legs to reveal two scars, pointing at them with his finger “These scars right here show where those bullets penetrated. I was in agonizing pain since I couldn't walk...Luckily, I was taken to surgery very quickly and was under the effects of anesthetic so i didn't feel a thing during said surgery. The doctors told me the bullets didn’t hit one of my major blood vessels or a nerve otherwise I would of either bled to death or been paralyzed for the rest of my life...and you think that this was painful?” He looked at Callum who nodded at him.

“Well...I...Uh...” Rainbow was lost for words. She started to regret what she just said before Callum rolled up one of his shirt sleeves, revealing similar wounds to Ashley’s but there were 3 of them.

“These were also made by bullets. Now, here’s the thing. The human arm has fewer nerves located in it than the leg. It is known to be the best place to take a bullet. But the thing is. 2 of the bullets didn’t go straight through this arm but instead, stayed in”

All the ponies jaws dropped simultaneously, sitting in silence to the human’s stories.

“Are...Are they still in there?” Twilight asked

Callum shook his head in disagreement “No. Ashley helped me by taking out the bullets. I don’t want to go into much detail so all I will say is this.  If you do not want to hear me go into slight detail then please cover your ears”

All the ponies covered their ears with their hooves.

“Fine, be killjoys” Callum said with disappointment. The ponies took their hooves away from their ears.

Ashley patted Callum on the shoulder as he rolled down the sleeve to hide the scars.

“It's fine. They wouldn't understand much of it anyway.” Ashley smiled. He looked at the faces of the ponies which were a mix of interest, disgust or confusion.  “Now can we change the subject? Although I would love to tell you about mine and Callum’s adventures, I’m pretty sure all of you would be very disgusted by the amount of detail we go into”

All the ponies heads nodded in agreement. The group went back onto discussing the fight. The part of the guards taking part

was being told before Twilight interrupted.

“This is bad...Really bad.” Twilight started to panic.

“Enlighten me why this is bad Twilight.” Callum said with a posh voice.

“I say my dear friend. It appears that you have also caused me to use this voice!” Ashley said with a similar impression (Their British so all that sophistication and whatnot has to be released somehow, am I right?)

“Why did ya’ll change the way you speak just now?” Applejack asked.

“My dear friend here and I used to say things in different accents for our amusement and for those around us when we were younger. As you can, we still do.” Ashley replied.

“Well can you two stop it? This is very serious!” Twilight snapped.

“Fine jeez.” Callum returned his voice to what it was before.

Ashley shrugged “Whatever floats your boat.”

“Now, where were we before that unrelated topic made its way into this conversation?” Twilight stared angrily towards the humans who stuck their tongues out in return “You attacked the guard who-“.

“What did I say about the guard Twilight?” Ashley asked, raising an eyebrow.

“Huh? I don’t understand what you mean.” Twilight responded, tilting her head to side slightly.

“Oh for crying out loud!” Ashley yelled “Remember what I said about the guards last night?”.

Twilight brought a hoof to her chin, trying to remember what was said...

Thinking...

Thinking...

Got it! ...I think

“Wasn’t it something about blood?” Twilight asked with an awkward smile. She looked at the other ponies whose eyes widened

“You were going to kill the guard!?” Rainbow interrupted as she flailed her front hooves in the air for emphasize as well as hovering off the ground by flapping her wings.

Ashley face palmed “No Rainbow. I told Twilight about first blood. Which means that I will not attack until the opponent gets the first hit. A unicorn guard shot this yellow beam at me” He looked at the wound where the beam done its damage “The guards I did harm though were on the same side and advanced on me so I took action. It was all self defense.”

Rainbow lowered herself back to the ground. Feeling guilty for her outburst.

“Those guards should count themselves lucky” Callum added “Ashley could’ve killed them very quickly...” he looked towards his human friend “Am I right or am I right Ash?”

“Yeah right...” Rainbow added sarcastically.

“He is right.” Ashley said quietly.

All the ponies looked at him in shock.

“But since I’m not in the army anymore, I have no reason to kill. Only perform self defence when necessary.” Ashley said in a slightly louder voice. He put his hand over the wound on his arm and applied pressure. He didn’t feel any pain strangely enough.

“Here, let me fix you up...” Twilight’s horn began to glow as she put it near to Ashley’s wound but he pulled away.

“No thanks...I’m fine...” Ashley edged himself away from the horn slightly.

“Nonsense, now let me heal you.” Twilight tried to get closer but she felt something pushing on her chest. She looked down to see Callum’s hand pushing her away from Ashley. She looked towards the black haired human

“He said no thanks...” Callum glared angrily at her.

“B-but...” Twilight stuttered before giving up, pulling herself away from Ashley who decided to stay where he was. She looked towards Big Macintosh who was still covered in bruises

Big Mac nodded “Go ahead Twilight.”

Twilight gave a reassuring smile. Putting her horn closer to the red stallion, a bright blue aura started to flow towards the injuries on his face. They slowly started to fade away as Big Macintosh could feel as if the pain was being washed away with a cooling effect.  Once the injuries were healed, Twilight returned to her spot.

“Ah appreciate what ya’ just did Twilight.” Big Macintosh smiled.

“It wasn’t a problem at all.” she returned the smile before looking at the humans “At least you’re not stubborn when it comes to medical treatment.”

“Whatever.” the humans said in unison. The other ponies bared a small chuckle.

“So...” Applejack dug her hoof at the ground a bit “What ya’ll going to do now?”

“I originally wanted to explore the town. Hence why I was at the farm.” Ashley gave an awkward smile “Until...Well we all know what happened.”

Everyone bared a small laugh.

“So...This is Fluttershy I presume?” Callum gestured towards the yellow pegasus with his hand.

“You’re correct. Fluttershy, this is-“

“Callum Thomson at your service!” Callum loudly interrupted, he held his hand out towards Fluttershy with a wide smile.

“Oh...um...H-hello Callum” Fluttershy replied nervously in a barely audible voice. She started back away slightly from his hand, hiding her face behind her mane.

“Oh-Kay” Callum pulled his hand away and leaned himself next to Ashley’s ear and whispered “I think my heart just exploded from her adorableness”

“Mmkay.” Ashley said, scratching his chin “I would go back to the library but it’s so boring there...no offense Twilight.”

“None taken.” Twilight replied with a smile.

“I’m starting to like you more and more Ashley” Rainbow said jokingly “Sort of remind me...of well, me.”

“But more bad-ass?” He replied with a grin.

“Well...sort of. But don’t go around saying you’re awesome because everypony knows I’m unbeatable when it comes to being awesome.”

Everypony else rolled their eyes.

Ashley raised an eyebrow “Is that so?”

“Yes. Yes it is.” Rainbow narrowed her eyes slightly “Are we going to have to prove it?”

“Well...pick a challenge and prepare to lose.” Ashley put his forehead against hers. Both of them trying to intimidate each other but failed since they couldn’t stop smiling.

“Oh it’s on now.” Applejack said.

“Pick a challenge...How about a race?” Rainbow said as she flapped her wings to hover off the ground slightly.

“You’re on, but no flying.” Ashley replied.

“Fair enough. The starting point will be at Twilight’s house while the finish line will be at Sweet Apple Acres. We’ll start at noon tomorrow.”

“You’re on!” Ashley held out his hand.

Rainbow lowered herself back to the ground, placing her hoof in his hand and shook it.

“You two are going to be great friends I can tell.” Twilight said sarcastically

“You think so? I’m still thinking on how to get revenge on her for that ‘incident’ that happened before” Ashley smiled evilly.

“What incident?” Big Macintosh asked.

“Well...I’m not going to say anything if Rainbow Dash doesn’t mind.” Ashley looked towards the cyan pegasus “Do you?”

“I’d rather not have everypony know what happened. Thanks for asking.” Rainbow smiled awkwardly, causing Ashley to give a small laugh which infected her. Everypony and Callum just watched silently.

“So Twilight, got anymore friends that we need to meet?” Callum asked.

“Well there is Rarity and Pinkie Pie. Although I think we should leave Pinkie until last because-“

“WhatareyoutalkingaboutTwilight?” A pink blur burst out from underneath Ashley’s shirt.

“!” Ashley fell onto his back from shock. The sound of being discovered on Metal Gear Solid somehow popped into his mind (this was the only thing I could come up with that would suit this type of situation.)

“How the hell?! Where did she come from!?” Callum’s started to shoot questions like wild fire with his eyes opened wide, looking back and forth between the pink pony and Twilight “How did she get there!? Why did she appear when you said that name!? Why aren’t you answering my questions!?”

“Whoa! Relax!” Rainbow Dash shouted at Callum “Give her time to think. Sheesh.”

Twilight looked towards at Callum, seeing him panicking. She then turned her attention to Ashley who was on his back, the expression of shock / surprise on his face didn’t go away.

Ashley sat back up to be greeted by the pink pony smiling widely in his face. She smelt like cake for some reason.

“...Hi!” The pink pony said cheerfully

“This. Is Pinkie Pie...” Twilight said before dragging the pink mare by the tail away from the humans with her magic.
