'Bang, Bang, Bang' "All right, all right i'm c-yawn- i'm coming." with a 'thump' and a zombie-like groan our main stallion shuffled out of the master bedroom, drown the hallway glancing at a clock on the wall only to pause and stare at the clock in confuse.'Wut? That can't be right there's no it's midnight. Well I haven't looked outside an-'

'Bang, Bang, Bang' With a snort of surprise Silver whipped around and swung his right fore hoof at head height to disorientate his foolish foe only to be stopped by a wall....his houses wall.....with a deep breath ,and twitchy eye, Silver turned and continued on to finally, finally open the front door. So that he can swiftly get hit twice in the head by a light grey hoof. 'Owowowowo!! what the buck? why? what have I done?' were more than likely the type of thoughts flashing through Silvers head as the pony attached to the hoves that assaulted him froze as she realised what she had done.

"Oh my! i'm so, so sorry mister! i-i didn't mean to! I promise i-it's j-just that you didn't answer tha-"

"Miss it's quite all right. I've taken much hardier hits then that beside's it's my fault for taking so long. Now with that out of the way, how may i help you miss....?"

"Oh...will if your sure. I'm Ditzy Doo but most just call me Derpy! i'm the mailmare of this little town of ours." Well it wasn't like she need to tell you her job seeing as her brown vest and brown cap with a red envelope were pretty good indicators of her profession. Then again how does seven bubbles have anything to do with mail? It was at this point Silver notice was still on his hunches and he had just spent the time he could use getting up to instead spend checking out the mailmare. Wonderful.

Silver chose now to get up and meeting miss Doo's eyes "well that doesn't cha-n~n-ge m-my question..." and preceded to stare ,quite rudely, at her light brown eyes or well more specifically her right eye.....which was looking straight up at the sky.

"Umm sir? you were saying something?"

With a quick shack of the head and a slightly embarrassed smile he states "yes, yes sorry I was just....remembering somethings i have to do today."

"Ah well just to make so this is the Ace/ Breeze household?" Right Silver never gave his name did he?

"Yes this is miss Doo"

A absolutely beaming smile graced Silver's eyes before Ditzy turns and starts to dig through her one sided saddle bag of mail wonders with 'hums' and 'oows' before an excited 'a ha!' sounded out. Ditzy ,now facing Silver, had a dark purple envelope with a full sun seal over it's flaps held in her mouth. Ditzy smiled around it and closed her eyes not noticing the wedding of Silver's own eyes.

"Thuies hiris fur yuu mesrr siiuer"

"Ah-ah t-thanks miss Doo I...ah guess i'll see you later?" Silver ,while stuttering thoroughly, toke the envelop and closed the door. Silver did nothing but stand there for at least 20 minutes before seemly snapping out of his almost frozen. He moved deeper into his home around an old beat up couch and to a dining table with only a lamp sitting upon it . Now seated with something to lean on, he broke the sun seal and emptied the envelope. A split bit, a folded incident report and a.....frozen horn? no.

A frozen rib.

Well now bit, paper or bone which to check next? 'Hmm eenie meenie miney mo catch a cockatrice by the tail if it scratches let go eenie meenie miney mo.......paper it is'. Choice now made Silver reached over and picked up the incident report and begin to read.

--------------------------------------------------------------------11/2houres------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Well....buck...'sigh' at least most of them made it back in....relative one piece." Placing it down on the table before looking over at the two remaining items 'well at least these two are explained now.'

"wh-yawn-when did you get up" came a tied, weary voice wafted over from the hallway. Silver looked up to see Dwarn dragging her hoves over to the dining table .

"Around....ah....5 no....huh i actually don't know honestly but I did meet the towns mailmare."

"Oh? really? wel-yawn-well then. What she like?"

"Well we didn't talk for long but she seems like a nice mare. Easy to get along at least"

With a nodding head Dwarn started to prepare there ,possibly, late breakfast. With Dwarn busy Silver returned his attention to the items before him. 'Ice bone, bit?, ice bone, bit? ice bone, bit? hmm bit it is' with that in mind he pulled the bit over with a wing. To an untrained eye the bit looks perfectly normal if not for the fact it's been cut top to bottom straight in the middle of it but to Silver? This ain't no normal bit, no siri this right here? False bit made from ,ironically, fool's gold.

'Well now what do we have here? A false bit? Shoppy made one to~' "~too dull, insides too jagged even with a clean cut..."

"Honey if you don't like my pancakes you could of just said so"

"Wuh? Nonono I was talking about the bit I love your cooking a-wait what pancakes?"

'Giggle~' "just joking with you. Now then how about you show me what's got your tail tied up?"

Setting two freshly made coffees down on the table Drawn moved over to her husband's side and looked over his shoulder at the bit. "Hmm can't see nothing wrong with it."

Moving out of his wife's way, he used his wings to slide it to her. "Look closer at the edges around the cut there far to chiped for a normal bit. here let me-"

"One you know more about this stuff then me. Two you are NOT cutting up one of our bit's just to prove a point. Three why do you even have this?" In response to this Silver simple pointed with a hoof at the envoeple. 'Sigh' "of course are they really still butthurt that they couldn't keep you for longer?"

"Apparently so." With a pause, a quirked eyebrow he continued on "also really? 'butthurt'?"

Drawn simply let out a weary sigh before leaning on Silver's side not saying a word. Silver didn't bugge at the added weight nor did he seem all that bothered by it. After a few minutes he decided that if his wife wished not to speak then he would simply continue on studying the still ,somehow, froze bone. Drawn seemally noticing the shifting focus, straightened back up and followed his gaze to the bone. "Sil why is there a melting bone on our diner table?"

"Simple. They sent it along side the false bit and the paper."

"Yes i know that. What I want to know is why send you a bone?"

"Again simple. To see if they can forge something useful from it." A thick silence followed this almost board sounding statement for Silver. So thick in fact Drawn didn't notice when Silver moved from her side to answer the door.....or that somepony was knocking on there door in the first place. With a 'click' Drawn's mind snapped back on just in time to sending a glance at who was at the door only mageing to captcha a yellow (more white-ish) hoof as the door closed.

Author's Note

Sorry this one stops so abruptly but well life is life and there's not much you can do about it.

But anyway I had an idea what if I made a new 'story' just for photos from the event's of this story. Like say the pony characters cutie marks or what the 'ice beast' look like stuff like that.
Just let me know if you think this is a good idea or not please oh and thanks for reading.
