Two Years and few months have passed since World War III has begun, Aiden is still serving in the army, he still even he knows that island
is Equestria he hasn't said to anyone about it, he sometimes things: "How is that possible ?" But will ponies in Equestria be friends or be enemies and will he be the old Aiden that he was before he lost his love once?

Its night and Applejack had a nightmare. (In nightmare) she was running from someone who was chasing her but suddenly she stumbled behind the stone and fell, she couldn't stand so if she crawled,
she could only creep up to the tree. Before something went wrong she woke up.
She couldn't believe it what did she just dreamed

After a few minutes, Applejack decided to go into the woods to take a breath and maybe think a little about this dream.
AppleJack got ready and took her hat and she left the house. While she was walking in the woods she heard someone was yelling and she saw a campfire.
The Sound (yelling) was coming from the campfire. Applejack decided to check it out. While she was walking to campfire she said to herself:

"What is happening there ?"

When Applejack went to the campfire and she saw this:
2 Army soldiers
3 Civilians

Those people were:
2 Army soldiers:
1.Sargent Aiden (Aiden the main protagonist and also known from the prologue)
2.Captain Mason

3 Civilians:
They were Aiden's friends and this teammate, they were blindfold and they were tied up to the tree.

Applejack was hiding, behind the tree and bushes and she saw everything that happened.

Aiden's team Captain was the one who is yelling and he was yelling to those 3 civilians

"HOW COULD YOU BETRAY US, YOU ARE HELPING THE ENEMY !!!!!!"

''YOU BETRAY YOUR COUNTRY, YOUR PEOPLE, YOUR FRIENDS, AND YOUR ALLIES !!!!!!!''

Captain Mason was so angry at that time he was drunk so he couldn't do anything just do colonel's orders.

"I can't stand this. Aiden shoot them !"The captain said to Aiden angry.

Aiden couldn't believe what did the captain said to him.
Aiden pulled out his gun and he couldn't shoot them.

"I... I can't... I can't they are my friends"

''WHAT !!! They are not your friends they are traitors''

After a few seconds, Aiden still couldn't do it.

''GODDAMIT !!!! Give it to me.''

Captain took Aiden's gun and he killed his friends. (he shot three times)
Aiden couldn't do anything he just watched this friend getting shot same with Applejack.

After Captain Mason shot these comrades.

''Here is your gun...''

''Aiden... I need you to do me a favour.''

When Aiden heard what the captain said to him he was surprised because he never heard from captain those words.

''What is the favour?''

''I need you to burn these bodies.''

When Aiden heard captain's favour or orders he agreed on what it but in real life, he won't do this to his friends

''Where are you going ?'' Aiden said to the captain confused.

''I'm going to Bar.''

Captain Mason went to the truck and drove off...

''I'm not burning my friends I'm going to give a burial.''

Before Aiden started to dig a grave he took this friends dog tags.
He puts them into this pocket.

Then Aiden started to dig a grave for these friends.

While Aiden was digging a grave, Applejack saw everything what happened and what Aiden was doing.
Applejack was thinking "what to do ?''
Applejack decided to go to Aidan and ask what happened.

She was walking to him slowly...
(When Applejack got to Aiden, he was done with digging grave).

''He... He... Hello...''

Aiden turns this head around and saw her, she was standing near the grave.

''Hello...''

Aiden didn't know what to do (It was the first time he talked to the girl).

"What is your name ?"

''My name is Aiden''

This was pretty awkward for Aiden.

"What is your name?"Aiden asked Applejack.

"My name is Applejack"

Then Aiden couldn't believe that he is talking to the pony.

''Nice to meet you Applejack"

When Applejack was looking at the pit that Aiden was digging.

''What are you doing ?" Applejack said to Aiden confused.

"I've dug a grave for those people."

After Aiden took a deep breath and he decided to tell Applejack truth about those people.

"You didn't know this but they were my friends and my comrades."

When Applejack heard what Aiden said to her she was shocked.

"I would like them to rest, we all had a tough day."

After the burial...

Aiden and Applejack look each look at each other in the eyes.
But after few seconds Aiden and Applejack stopped looking at each other in the eyes, Applejack wanted to ask one more question. It was about those pendants that Aiden had in hand.

"A yes... they are not pendants... they are Dog tags."

"Every human who goes to the army gets one of them. There is nothing about them, they just show your name, birth date, your age, and your codename.''

While Aiden was talking about dog tags, he took his 3 friends dog tags from his pocket and showed to her.

"They look very cool I wish to have one of them."

When Aiden heard what Applejack said he was surprised.

''Why did that man did this to your friends ?''

''Applejack... go to that raster and sit down... what I'm going to tell you will be
hard to understand and confusing...''

She went there and she sat down and Aidan started to explain everything:

"-You and ponies are not alone in the earth... were are countries, humans, and conflicts..."

Aiden talks about world war III what is happening right now but then Aiden mentions an important fact about people who betray military.

"-Those people who joined North Korea are traitors ''

''-We call them KPA (Korean People's Army)" and people who betrayed their country are killed.''

After Aiden stopped talking about world war III.

"But do, your and your people are at war but do you guys get help from other people ?"

"Yes, we do."

After Applejack's question, Aiden repeated what he said before

''As I said this will be confusing''

"Yes it is definitely confusing sugarcube"

When Applejack and Aiden look at each other smiling.

But their look at each other while smiling breaks after Aiden's phone ring...
After some seconds Aiden finished phone call he talked to Applejack...

''Lisen Applejack I need to get back to base and report what happened''

"Oh... ok... can... can... can you lead me at my home ?"

Then Aiden heard that question he blushed.

"Oh Ok..."

Aiden put out a fire and they left together.
While they were walking they started to talk together.
They talked about jokes and funny stuff.
When they were near Applejack's home, she talked about her nightmare and tell Aiden about this.

"I actually never heard that someone had this nightmare."

''Don't worry about it.''

After Aiden said about dream Applejack looked at Aiden and she was smiling.

"Thanks, sugarcube, that actually calmed me down."

"No problem, you can trust me Applejack."

After Aiden replied to Applejack about a dream she looks and she sees her home.

''And here we. This is My home''

Aiden looked at Applejack's house and he liked.

"That's really cool."

After Applejack heard what Aiden said she couldn't believe what Aiden said about her house.

"Really ???"

''Yeah...''

Before Applejack went into her home Aiden asked her.

"Applejack do you have free time tomorrow ?"

After Applejack heard that question she became shy and her face turns red.

''I... I don't mean like a date just if you like to go out...''

"Yeah... sure"

Then Aiden replied to Applejack while he was worried.

"Well, I'll see you tomorrow..."

Then they said goodbye to each other.

"Well... goodbye, Aiden it was nice to meet you."

''Goodbye, it was nice to meet you too Applejack.''

When Aiden and Applejack went their own ways.

While Aiden was walking home, he turns this head around and saw Applejack was looking at him and then Aidan turn head around and Applejack was standing still there and she became shy, her face turns red and she was smiling at him.
Aiden waved at her and she went into her house and Aiden while he left while was smiling.

---------------------------------------------------------NEXT DAY-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Applejack told her friends about Aiden.

They didn't understand what Applejack just said to them.

"Well... this is new... but that they are at war what is bad news we need to talk to Aiden maybe he will help us with this problem" Twilight replied to Applejack a little bit confused.

But everyone was worried about Aiden.

''But is he trustful ?'' Everypony said to Aj worried.

"Aiden is a good man and yes he is trustful."

''How do you know that ?'' Twilight replayed to Applejack

"That night I had a nightmare and while he was leading me home, he helped me with my nightmare problem and I think he likes me..."

Then everyone gasped and were shocked.

"WHAT !!!???'' Mane 5 replayed.

''That is true...''

(Applejack never said to them that Aiden asked her to go out, she kept it secret).
