Chapters The alarm clock in SonicBoom's room erupted with a noise that could have woken up all of Cloudsdale. He decided to try to fall back asleep, but there was a feel of cold metal, he romeved the sheet finding a knife lying there. It was blood spattered, Some of it being his own. He flew out of bed, Only finding that his wings had been siezed. Then Darkness, the sensation of falling, then nothing. Screaming, SonicBoom awoke. "Can you please just shut up?" Asked Dreamer, his roomate. "Sorry" SonicBoom said "Just Another bad dream."He continued. Dreamer got up and tossed a bag to SonicBoom. "What is this for?" SonicBoom asked. "Well, we are picking up suits for the Gala. Also, take this". Dreamer said as she handed SonicBoom a metal stick."No,no,no. I woke him up yesterday, your turn." SonicBoom said, in a whining voice. "Even so, Rarity is doing my mane today." Dreamer said. "Only you would go all the way to Ponyville just to have your hair styled." SonicBoom said as he was trying to put the metal rod in his backpack. SonicBoom trotted down the hallway to the door at the end and entered. The sheets were rising and falling at a steady pace, the blinds were were closed, only small portions of light filtering through onto the sheets. SonicBoom pulled out the metal rod and pointed it at the sheets. As soon as the rod hit the sheet, The figure underneath erupted in a rage. "Jeez Sco, you are in a good mood today" said SonicBoom(Sco was actually in a good mood, usually the blinds were covering broken windows from Sco's wakeups) "Ughhh, what day is it, did I sleep in, did I miss the Gala?" Said Sco frantically. "No SconeScoop Today is the Gala." Said SonicBoom, laughing as he said Sco's full name. "Just le- TODAY?!" Sco exclaimed, messing up his yellow mane with Dreamer's brush. "I told you, not to go to that party with Rainbow last night." SonicBoom said. "Blah..blah..blah" Sco said, rolling his eyes. "Hey, while I am out, do you need anything?" SonicBoom asked. "Could you pick me up some cupcakes?" Sco asked."Yeah I guess so" SonicBoom said bounding out of the door.
"Hey Pinkie, can you get me some cupcakes, for Sco?" Sco said not even in Sugarcube corner yet. "Yeah-oh-wait-watch-I-am-a-butterfly" Said Pinkie as she put two boxes of cupcakes in her hooves and flailed around madly, making a mess. "Umm-sorry-about-that-here-are-your-cupcakes-on-the-house" Pinkie said. "Gah-Gummy-NO!" Pinkie said as her alligator dropped from the ceiling, removing the frosting from her mane. SonicBoom flew over to Rarity's to pick up the clothes for the Gala. "Hey-uh Soni, how did Sco wake up today, did he do that to your face, I-I mean the frosting." Spike said, carrying a few objects. "No, Pinkie did this." SonicBoom replied. "Lot on her mind?" Spike asked. "No, she was well being, uh... the only description would be..well..Pinkie i guess." SonicBoom answered. "Just please go get Rarity for me, ok Spike?" "Okay" Spike said. "Ahh here for your clothes, SonicBoom?" Rarity asked "Sco, and Dreamer's as well." SonicBoom replied. "Okay, and tell Sco to not touch this until the Gala, he would most likely ruin my hard work." Rarity said with a serious tone. "Tell Dreamer to wake Sco from his nap." SonicBoom chuckled.
"Hey Sco, Rarity frogot your frills."SonicBoom said. "Oh no what ever shall I do?" Sco said in his usual sarcastic voice. "I'm telling you, you need to get someone to go
SonicBoom went straight to bed, almost not bothering to go to the Gala. Sco had to convince him to go. But SonicBoom did not wear the nice clothes that Rarity had made. Instead he wore his hooded cloak. On the way there Sco had swore that SonicBoom would mutter random things, chuckle and smile at random times. On the way in SonicBoom left when Sco pointed out Dreamer and the colt that she was with. Then Sco saw SonicBoom pullng a knife out of his cloak. It was as if SonicBooms words were as clear as if he was right there; "How dare you, I loved you, you promised that you'd go with me, but in breaking that promise, you broke my heart." He drew up his knife and on the downswing a blur passed in front of him then a rainbow trail. Another blur, followed by a trail of slight snow. The rainbow blur stopped, revealing Rainbow Dash, the snow blur revealed Sco. "We cannot let this happen" they said in unison. The entire Gala centered attention to the cloaked colt. SonicBoom made use of the gasps as a distraction and pounced on Dreamer. With tears dripping from his face, he looked down on the startled pony. "Shhh" SonicBoom said as he put his free hoof on his muzzle. "There will be peace soon enough" he said. The knife swung up in its arc and plunged downward, but not into Dreamer, SonicBoom had stabbed himself. As he stood back up, knife still in his chest he realized his dreams meaning. "Is this what you wanted?" he screamed at Dreamer, tears flowing from his eyes. "For me to do this, I trusted you, I loved you and you just let this happen to me, you are really a sick fiend" he said, words flowing almost as fast as his tears. He was eventually just having his words run together and he then blacked out.
SonicBoom flew as fast as his wings would carry him, desperate to get away. He thought maybe he could go to his cave in the Everfree Forest, but even then he could not be calm, everywhere he went he could not push dreamer out of his mind, she was always there. he began to lose trust in all ponies the more he thought of it. He went to the center of the forest to see if maybe it would help, and it did, for he ment a golden furred pegasus, whom offered to care for him until the mental destruction was healed. SonicBoom seemed to lose himself in her blue eyes. "Oh I am sorry, Here you are helping me, and you don't even know my name." SonicBoom said. "Oh, I know, you told me, you told me why your sad, your friend broke a promise." She said. "Bu-but how?" SonicBoom sputtered out "On the way here, you let it flow out." she answered. "Oh by the way I'm Fluttershy." she continued. "You are like a snake, venomous, but fragile.". "Heyyy Fluttershy who are you talki-" said a cyan pegasus as she flew in "Oh hey Rainbow Dash this is my friend -" Fluttershy said before she was inturrupted "SonicBoom, Fluttershy, do you know what this pony did? he almost killed another pony, that is horrible I mean maybe he had the right to be ma-" "He has already told me everything, what he did, why he did, and I am here to help" Fluttershy interrupted Rainbow Dash this time. "I will admit, I have done wrong things, we all have, nopony is perfect" SonicBoom flew up, asserting his place "Sco would agree with that and you know it. And if you knew me like he or Fluttershy do, you would too." he continued as he flew back down and ruffled his wings.
Dreamer wept for hours before Sco burst into her room saying "Rainbow Dash found him, he is in the everfree forest at one of her friend's place, but" Dreamer had already gotten up at "Found" and bolted for the door. "She never lets me finish"
SonicBoom's muzzle burst into red when Fluttershy leaned up close to him and kissed him, He had not been expecting this, well eventually he thought it might come to this. He leaned into her in an embrace, then the door flew open with a yell of "Soni!". SonicBoom looked at the door and saw Dreamer's facial expression go from a wide smile to a deep frown, all in under a second. "W-why?" was all she said before dropping a few roses. SonicBoom watched in an agonizing slow as the tears and the roses fell. Sco came up a minute too late and saw the roses and wet puddle on the ground. SonicBoom was leaned over, muzzle buried in his hooves. Fluttershy was not present, she had left or went to bed. Sco flew over to the couch and sat next to SonicBoom. "I messed it up, didn't I?" was all SonicBoom said. "Depends on your perspective. I feel it is equal that she was with that colt for a few weeks, without telling you, and still with him." Sco replied. "Well my perspective is that a screwed up" SonicBoom said when he pound his hoof onto the table. "But yet again," he said lifting his head up, smirk on his face, emerald eyes glinting. "She is probably going to that colt as we speak." He continued. "He is most likely to "Comfort" her, and you can guess what I mean by that" He kept on saying. "Dreamer? No, well maybe. She has done more stupid things than that." Sco said. "just cut to the chase". "I need you to be a messenger, tell Dreamer that any chance of forgiveness is dead." SonicBoom said. Okay and a shrug was all that Sco said before he flew off. SonicBoom retreated to the bedroom that Fluttershy had given him.
The night had begun to grow colder, and snow started to fall. It is freezing in here SonicBoom thought. a light rapping on his doorway separated him from his thoughts."Who is it?" SonicBoom said, as if he didn't already know. Fluutershy entered his room and sat at the edge of his bed. "I know it is cold in here, so I brought you some blankets." She said, her warm gesture made SonicBoom look into her eyes, which for being an icy blue, made SonicBoom warm. "Listen, I don't need these, you do, I have gone to Whitepeak moutain, and this is nothing, but you can stay here, I usually get lonely." SonicBoom said as he pointed towards the couch in the room. His gesture made Fluttershy blush as she went and made herself comfy. "So you actually went to Whitepeak mountain?" She asked, trying to start a conversation. "Yes, But I went on a foolish reason, a dare." SonicBoom said. "What was it like?" Fluttershy asked, head resting on her hooves. SonicBoom happily told her the entire story, and she clung on every single word. He began to tell other stories as well "And there is the cloak that I got from the merchant" he said while poining to the white cloak that he had worn the night of the Gala, there was still a blood stain on it. For half the night they shared stories, until Fluttershy asked "It is getting colder by the second, would it be possible if I could go to the bed?". SonicBoom knew that this was an advance when she said "getting colder by the second". A million thoughts bounced in his head until one made itself clear :yes. "I guess" he said as he moved over, making room for the pegasus. She blushed as she flew from the couch to the bed, carrying the blankets. "You know as well as I do, that if the other ponies were to find out about this-" SonicBoom said before he was cut off by Fluttershy "It won't matter" she said before she blew out the candle.
I'd like to thank: My little FriendGroup, for appointing me to write the fan-fic, Lauren Faust for creating MLP, and my Grammar-Nazi friends.
Dreamer entered her room, and looked around, she noticed the gifts that SonicBoom had given her over the years and noticed an unopened box on her bed. It was adressed to her, and was from the same person as all the others. She decided to open the box. Inside was a golden tiara with a ruby in the center. The card inside said: "I spent the rest of my money on it, I hope you like it.-SonicBoom". Dreamer collapsed on her bed and cried for hours, more than she cried for her father at his funeral. Sco lightly rapped on the doorway into her room. "Why did I let this happen, I forgot he was so fragile, I was at a point of weakness I just had forgotten." Dreamer mumbled. "That tiara, he got that so you would wear it at the Gala, he loved you, he went insane for you." Sco motioned for Dreamer to follow. They entered SonicBoom's old room. What Dreamer saw she couldn't even have words to express it.
There was nothing, not even a bed, only a a journal, lying in the center of the room, opened to the most recent entry.
"It is my fault" Dreamer repeated over and over.
