Finally A Day Off

"I better get Deviree out first. She's fast, and she can help me get everypony else off this train." Trebass decided that he would save Deviree first.

He tried to make his way to the driver's cab, where the pegasi's cutie mark was labeled on the map. He exited the train cab and began to climb the ladder on his right. He peeked over the ladder and saw a dark blue pegasus standing on the train car in front of him. Shock Bolt's back was turned, fortunately.

He descended on the ladder, and made his way through the cab in front of him, "Can't go on the rooftops, chances are he'll have a gun on him. It's safer this way."

Swiftly and quietly, he quickly ran into the driver's cab. Trebass turned around and closed the door behind him.

"Mmmph! Mmmph!" A muffled voice could be heard behind him.

The unicorn turned around, expecting to see somepony. Instead, he saw absolutely nothing. Trotting forward slowly, he looked around the cab. It wasn't until about halfway through the cab that he noticed the tall shaking driver's seat in front of him. He cautiously approached the driver's seat, and peeked around it.

"Mmmph! Mmmph!" A mint green pegasus struggled to loosen some ropes that tied her legs and wings together.

"Deviree!" Trebass shouted, as he assisted her in untying the ropes.

The ropes came loose, and she was free. The mare ripped the duct tape from her mouth and shouted, "CELESTIA THAT HURT!"

"Your welcome..." Trebass said, as he helped the mare to her hooves.

"Huh? Oh yeah, thanks sweety. Now let's get off this train." She said, as she picked up her revolver that was lying on the floor next to her.

"Okay sure, but first we need to get Notelie and the others." Trebass said as he proceeded to the exit.

Deviree caught up to him, "No time. The train is nearing the bomb, and we have to get out as soon as possible."

"But we can't just--" Trebass spoke, but was interrupted.

"Fine! We'll go save your other marefriends, but if we can't make it in time... We bail. You got that?" Notelie shouted furiously.

Trebass pondered for a moment, but then agreed, "Alright. We'll bail if there's not time left."

They both exited the driver's cab, and climbed a ladder leading to the roof. Unfortunately, they were not alone. The blue pegasus, Shock Bolt, stood in front of the two ponies.

"You two aren't thinking of leaving are you?" Shock asked.

Deviree pulled her revolver out with her hoof, "Put the gun down Bolt! And just walk away. Defuse the bomb while your at it too."

"Um, how about no? Your coltfriend needs to suffer, and this is the perfect way to give him that feeling!" Shock shouted.

Trebass turned around, "We gotta go! Now!" He grabbed Deviree by the hoof and jumped off the train.

"Fly!" He shouted, and she did as she was told.

She flapped as hard as she could, and when she carried him far enough... She stopped, and they both plummeted into the dark ocean water.

The sound of an explosion came from above Trebass before he was completely submerged in water. The unicorn grabbed Deviree by the legs and dragged her to the surface. he used all this strength to tow her to the shore. It took him about two (2) minutes to reach the sandy beach shore, but he finally had time to rest. By the time Deviree had awoken, the train was already gone, and so was part of the railing.

The pegasus sat up, and gathered her bearings. When she realized that the train was already gone, she turned to Trebass and asked, "Hey hun. How did you pick. I heard that psycho on the intercom, there were others weren't there?"

Trebass stared at the sky, pondering, thinking, and he finally answered, "It's because I promised him, and because I love you."

The baby blue water lapped on the sandy shores of the Haywaiin beach. Deviree leaned towards the unicorn, and gave him a light kiss on the cheek, "Ditto." She whispered, as Trebass visioned a familiar looking soldier in the sky, saluting him.

"I kept your promise. She's safe... Braeburn." He whispered to himself.
