To Mend a Broken Heart

I let out a slight sigh as I look out the train’s window, watching nothing but hills and mountains pass by. I feel something, well rather someone lay on top of my lap. I look down at the pony invading my peronal bubble with stoic look. I come to find Private Rose looking up at me with the same half lidded eye look she always gives me. Her cheeks tinted rosy as my icy blue eyes lock on to her green slitted emerald eyes.

“You seem to be spacing out a lot Captain Yutani. Is there something, or somepony on your mind? Maybe that somepony being me?~” She says seductively as her tongue slides across her lips.

I turn my attention back out the window and let out a grunt of annoyance. “Like you’ll ever be on my mind. You’ll be the last pony to be ever on my mind” I reply coldy.

Rose giggles at my rudeness. “Ooooh~” she moans out. “So cold captain. Your voice just sends pleasurable chills all over my body. I might not be able to hold myself back any longer if you keep that act up.” She runs her hands up my stomach and chest.

I narrow my eyes at her, which gets her to stop. “Get it together private. We are not here to mess around, do you understand?” I snap at her.

She just pouts and grumbles like a child. She turns away from me, but still lays on my lap. I don’t mind at all as long at she behaves and keeps her hands to herself. I reposition my look back out the window once again and begin with my thoughts.

So... the princesses told me to go on a mission, but the mission was to “cure my wounded heart, and to rid of my past” therefore; I have no damn clue what they meant by that.

I let out a tired sigh as I shift uncomfortably on my seat. Honestly, I didn’t know that the princesses knew how I was feeling. To be honest, I thought I was keeping my emotions in check pretty well. Maybe I should try and follow the princesses advice in opening up more to others. I mean I’m alreay opening up to the private who is currently laying on my lap. For some reason I’ve allowed to let this aggravating batpony lay herself on my lap. So far, I’ve only let the princesses do that. That goes to show that I’m opening up to people, right? Though, Rose is always hitting on me and touching me. She follows orders accordingly and doesn’t disobey any order I give her. She’s also a very skillful guard for just being a low rank. She’s got potential in being a captain some day, but just not today or any other day for that matter.

My thoughts are soon interrupted by someone’s grabby hand. My eye twitches in irritation as she thinks that I’ll let her cop a feel. I lightly lay a hand on her shoulder, this gets her to jump lightly and turns to look over her shoulder slowly, almost scared to see me. She should be.

My magical engery surrounds me as I let my magic flex out. My eyes are on hers, I just smile sweetly at her, making her feel on edge now.

“Rose,” I say dangerously sweet to her, a vein bugling from my forehead. My hand grips her shoulder tightly and I hear her squeal in fear. “Do that again and I’ll have your ass demoted and sent back to boot camp, is that’s cystral clear?”

She sits up straight and nods her head quickly. I then let go my aura of magic and settle myself against the trains seat.

“Geez Cap, you don’t have to be so mean and scary.” She says as she rubs her aching shoulder. “I just wanted to feel on how much your packing.” She then gives me those bedroom eyes again as gets on all fours and licks her lips. “And I gotta say, your built like a dragon.”

I pinch the bride of my nose, letting a sigh out as an oncoming headache is soon to arrive.

“This gonna be a long ride to Ponyville.” I mumble out.

Then a whisper is heard to the right of my ear. “It won’t be long if we do something fun~” Rose says, moaning in my ear.

I snap my eyes on to her. “Sit.Your.Ass.Down. And behave yourself. NOW!”

Rose ’mphs’ and crosses her arms under her chest, pouting away like a kid who was told no many times by their parent. I know for a fact that this is going to be a tiresome ride.

Two Hours Later
Arrival: Ponyville

I and Rose step off the train as we both take a quick stretch. I breath in some air and let out a calm breathe. I feel a tap on my shoulder and I know all to well who it is. I don’t even have to turn around as I look around the train station. “What is it private?”

“I was going to ask why you brought your weapon with you? I mean we are on military leave sir.”

I give her a side glance and answer back, “You always gotta be prepared for the worst case scenarios. Does that answer your question?”

She hums thoughtfully and nods her head. “I guess, but you don’t gotta be on edge Cap, we’re in Ponyville for crying out loud. Nothing ever bad happens here.”

I shake my head for her jinxing it. “Never say never, and good job for jinxing it.”

I prepare to walk out of the station, but stop and secure my pistol to the holster on my right thigh. “Alright Rose, lets move out.”

“Aye, sir!” She cheers with a smile, and falls on in beside me.

We calmly walk out of the train station and walk into the shopping distract of Ponyville. I look around and spot different types of species going about their day. I spot ponies, gryphons, minotaurs, and even dragons coexisting together. I was a little surprised to see this. Back then it didn’t use to look like this at all. Gryphons didn’t like ponies for dumb reasons, which goes for the dragons as well. The minotaurs have been always cool with the ponies, it just the minotaurs are tough race, so they just want to make the ponies tough like them. I highly agree. The ponies are to soft and carefree. I seen it first hand when I first started off as a royal guard. The guards were pathetic. Simple as that. But that’s just Celestia’s Solar guards. Now, the Lunar guards, which are Luna’s, they’re more tougher than the solar guards. That’s why I have Rose as my companion, because she’s great in combat and has my back. Though, she still needs work, like learning how to know personal space and keeping her hands to herself.

My eyes sweep around the shopping district once more, quickly taking note that a lot of the people around here are staring my way. That’s what I thought anyways, but then I noticed they were looking at something behind me. I stop in my tracks, which Rose does the same and looks up at me with raised brow.

“What’s up, Yutani? Why’d we stop, we’re, like almost to Princess Twilight’s castle.”

My ears fold back at the sound of footsteps coming up behind us. Rose’s ears perk up at the last second and she turns around with her eyes narrowed, knowing all to well what the situation is going to be. I look her way and spot that her muscles are tense. Then a cocky voice is heard, which really got on my nerve.

“So, your that punk ass guard who think he’s all hot and shit, Captain Yutani, is that right?”

I let out a annoyed sigh, but I don’t reply to the asshole who’s referring to me. “See Rose, you fucking jinxed it.” I look over my shoulder and spot a red scaled male dragon with a smug look on his. To the sides of the male dragon is a female pony with the same exact look and a female dragoness with blue scales. Thought the dragoness look annoyed for some reason.

I fully turn my attention towards the trio, and cross my arms across my chest. “And if I am that guard?”

“Then I challenge you to a fight for your rank.” The male dragon exclaims broadly.

The people who have quickly surrounded us, making a circle, just look at each other for a second and laughter erupts around the crowd. The smug dragon looks around angrily at the people surrounding us. He then starts to cuss out everyone with a harsh tone. The people here in Ponyville know me pretty well when I first came here. Almost everyone knows of me cause of the heroic acts that I have down. You can say I’m pretty famous for what I do. Also, Ponyville is a peaceful and quiet town, but it’s not always quiet, sadly.

The male dragon then starts to get really mad at the laughter that keeps roaring on. I then quickly spot him inhaling air and see that his throat starts to glow red. That’s a sign of him readying to spew some fire. I act quickly. I take a step toward him, and in a flash I’m front of him with my fist drilled into his gut. The fire is spewed up into the air, where no one gets harmed. The dragon falls back onto the dirt floor out-cold.

The two that were with him looked on shocked. The female pony rushed to his side shaking him to get up. The female dragoness didn’t do the same, instead she walked up to me and stood right infront of me. She was about my height, so our eyes locked on to one another. We kept up are staring contest for awhile, and a smile adorned her scaly face.

“I’m glad somepony put that douche in his place.” She giggles cutely.

Before I can reply, six figures rush past the crowd and stop adruptly as they spot me. I look their way an a small smile appears on my face. “Hey girls, what took you so long to get here? I thought you would of ha— Oof!” The six girls all crash into me, almost knocking me down in the process. They all have me wrapped in hug.

A small chuckle escapes my lips at how touchy ponies can be.
