Passion of doves
It is common knowledge that a dove would stay by their chosen partner. It is for this reason that they are known as the bird of love. And those who form such a relationship will do the same. She races tend to mirror this more than others to the point that some couples would follow their partner to the grave.

Zipp and Blitz stopped by a few places including one stop to get him his own phone and teach him how it worked. "I still can't believe you're able to do all that with this little… device." He marveled as Zipp walked him out of the shop.

"Don't worry. Once we find a place for you to stay, you can check out the different features later." Zipp laughed. "As long as my sister is still out of town with my mom, and Hitch is at the lighthouse. I guess we can see if Izzy is out and-"

"HI ZIPP!" Izzy announced loudly as she ran up behind them. "Ooooooo! Is this your boyfriend?"

"NO!" Zipp quickly replied, turning to face the unicorn. "He's… just a good friend that helped me through the forest." She countered. She didn't really want to mention the…

"You mean he helped you get through your heat?" Izzy asked innocently.

Blitz looked away acting like he didn't hear her comment and admired some of the posters across the street. As Zipp blushed in shock before glaring at Izzy. Keeping her toan even, she gave a forced smile. "I thought we talked about when it's appropriate to talk about that kind of stuff."

"What do you?... oh…" Izzy giggled softly. "Sorry. But he did, right? Or is he the type to leave a mare-"

"IZZY!!!"

"Sorry." She whimpered softly. "I'll just… go see if Zipp needs anything." She apologized before rushing off.

Blitz sighed and smiled at Zipp. "So… how soon do you think they'll figure it out?"

Zipp slouched and started down the street. "Depends on how soon we can get you a place to stay. But…"

"Hay Zipp. Who or what I'd that?" A red coated stallion asked.

"Hi Sprout. This is Blitz. He's traveling across Equestria. We agreed that it'd be a good idea for him to at least have a home to come back to between locations." Zipp replied with a smile.

Sprout looked him over coldly for a moment before nodding. "If you say so. Not like I'm a deputy anymore anyway." Shrugging he smiled. "Anyway, mom has a place for sale. He can move in right away." He added before turning away. "It's down by the factory…" He paused and hung his head. "I mean… the museum…" He facehoofed. "Then again. It has a lot of space to fill before…"

"Wait… museum? Are you planning on having things from old Equestria in it?" Blitz asked. Blinking, Sprout nodded. "And you're looking for someone who knows about that time period to run it?"

"We were going to ask Sunny. But she has her hooves full… so yes. Why do you ask?" Sprout asked.

Blitz smiled and turned to Zipp. "Would you mind getting my things? Sprout can show me where the museum is so we can get things moving."

Zipp smiled as she had a good idea on what he had in mind. With a nod she turned and flew off.

Hitch sat with the guards and sighed. "Come on guys. I'm the sheriff. I'm supposed to check strange packages."

"Sorry sir. We're just following orders." One of the guards replied.

"Plus I don't want to find out what Blitz is like mad." His parent added. "Zipp can be scary. But he has sharp teeth, claws…"

"Don't forget the fire breath."

Hitch sighed and turned away. "Fine. I'll just wait and see if…" Blinking, he watched as Izzy sped past with a fears blush on her face. "What?" Was all he got out before he was lifted in magic and pulled inside. "AGAIN!?!?!"

The guards looked at each other for a moment before shrugging. They sat and took turns keeping an eye out for anyone that got too close to the carts as the other kept an eye on their phone in case Pipp or Zipp called. It surprisingly wasn't long before Zipp landed.

"You two…" She panted. "Take the carts to the museum."

"Is everything ok mam?" The guard asked as his partner got hooked up.

"Everything is fine." She replied as she stood up straight and fixed her main. "Just that Blitz is going to be opening it soon. And I have a feeling that some of these will be in it."

"Wait… you mean he's running it?" The guard asked in shock.

"You bet." He smirked. "And that means we'll have more reason to go hunting for more historic locations."

The guards smiled at each other before following her down the street. Neither of them wanted to say it. But there was definitely something going on between Izzy and Hitch. Or at least with her. And from what they say with Zipp. She was hiding something involving Blitz as well. But it wasn't their place to say.

Journal entry 124
Sprout seemed odd. Once Zipp left us alone, he seemed to become guarded. Why I don't fully know. But as we walked and talked. He seemed to perk up fast. And his mom was… friendly. And helpful on the paperwork to get me settled in as the museum owner and in my new home… which was next door. I wonder why she was looking me over like I was a slice of cake… maybe I should ask Sunny if they still have those. Maybe I can get one to split with Zipp.

Things are heating up fast and it's possible that someone's secret is going to slip. Maybe on the next trip out of town? Or at the grand opening?
