"YOU DID WHAT!?" Dry Shot screamed. Standing on her hooves mouth wide and left eye twitching. She was taken aback by what the dragon across from her had just admitted 3 hours into their train ride. "You fucking brainwashed me!?" The initial screaming died down, now it was replaced with rightful anger. Getting a nod from the dragon, she began walking up and down the aisle not knowing what to do with herself.

"Because, it got me on the train. Which I am really happy that I sprung for a private car cause that was some yelling." He started, "Though before you do anything rash let me explain." He said watching her.

"The better question is, 'Why am I even still here?', but at this point its a crap shoot." she sighed as she took a seat across from Storm. "Explain, before I lose whats left of my sanity and patience."

"When, it had something to do with the fact that I kind of went overboard and killed 2 ponies in front of you, broke your jaw, and effectively made you unemployed." He said taking a drink of some water they had ordered before. "I didn't see any other way for you to come along. Also, the geography of Equestria changed a lot, it expanded a ton in 500 years. Also, helps having a pony of the place to stop the fears of a dragon just showing up in your town."

"How did you even brainwash me?" she asked head in her hooves.

"The food, and it wasn't brainwashing it was more like a mood inhibitor. I just made your brain turn off a bit of your rational thought to focus more on your caring side. Like I said, I hate brainwashing, but this is a technicality and I was kind of out of options. Had to convince the hotel concierge we were lovers and you were passed out drunk on our honeymoon to even get a room."

That got the mare to blush a bit, before she heard the door to the train car opening. A stallion from the dining car came with a cart full of snacks and assorted beverages. Grabbing a few for herself Dry Shot stayed quiet as she ate. Taking a glance at Storm, she could see how he would be handsome. A rugged, exotic handsome, another blush crept onto her face as she felt she couldn't look away. 'Why is my heart beating fast? He is a murderer.' Though in the deepest parts of her mind she heard a voice say 'You always did have a thing for bad boys.' She couldn't believe herself at this point, she was so fucked.

"I just hope he's okay, ya know. I don't really have a good grasp of what a father is." He admitted. "Mine was kind of an ass, that's why my mother never stayed with him. My step father was an amazing leader, he taught he how to fight, taught me to be my own dragon." With a chuckle he stood and walked to the other side of the car. "I miss him a lot, not only was a battle hardened ruler he actually cared, always wondered why Torch ended up an ass." Squinting to see something in the distance he said as said object passed by the train in no time , "Hey, Dry Shot. Why is there such a thing as sentient rainbows?"

Moving to his spot she looked outside and smiled and said, "No, no such thing but that does mean that we are close. That was Rainbow Dash, she is the single fastest flier in Equestria, and she lives in Ponyville. By what I know we should see a tree castle thing soon and that's where Spike is." Turning back to Storm, she saw his eyes wide and his breathing erratic. He was scared, near panicking even but a smile still ever present on his face.

Author's Note

So sorry for the delay my laptop crashed and I just recently got a new one. I am labeling 3 chapters lost chapters since Act 1 is officially over and they are things that should have been said in act 1 but didn't. In other words these are plot hole fillers cause there are quite a few but these Lost Chapters are here for that.

SEE YA LATER.
