•NOOOOOO!/Speech•

As the ponies and two Seals walked through the town of Ponyville, near the center of town stood Ponyville's town hall where a mass of the town's population stood at the entrance wanting answers for today's events.

"Why are the princesses here!?"

"What were those loud noises coming from sweet apple acres!?"

"Are we under attack!?"

"JUST WHAT THE BUCK IS GOING ON!?!?"

The ponies at the town hall were scared they didn't know what was happening, they just knew that both of the princesses were there in Ponyville and with them a large group of royal guards.

The ponies were becoming more frantic by the minute but as the next second past the mayor, Mayor Mare stepped out of town hall to address the citizens of her town and to answer the question's they have has best has she could.

"CITIZENS OF PONYVILLE PLEASE CALM YOURSELVES!" Mayor Mare shouted, with gusto the ponies constant badgering began to simmer down to murmur thanks to the mayor. "Now then I know alot of you have question of what is happening at sweet apple acres but rest assured the princesses are there to help."

The many ponies there at town hall started firing off questions left and right at the mayor, she was becoming overwhelmed when she finally had enough.

"SILENCE!!!" The ponies constant questioning stopped right after she yelled. "Now I want you to raise you're hoof if you have a question then I will choose which pony to call upon understand!?"

All at once the crowd of ponies answered "YES." with a sigh of relief Mayor Mare began selecting the ponies that had questions. One by one she answered with the best of her abilities questions rained from, 'Why the princesses are here' or 'Are we under attack'.

With each question asked Mayor Mare assured the citizens that everything was alright that there was no need for panic. Just as she finished reassuring everything was alright the sound of a song being sung interrupted the ponies at town hall, the ponies looked all around trying to find the singing pony, but unknown to them the singing pony turn duo was about to reveal themselves.

Smile!

Smile!

Smile!

Smile!

Smile!

Come on and Smile!

Come on and Smile!

Pinkie and I just finished her very own patented smile song as we kept walking through Ponyville and I was glad I could see that big happy smile of hers one of things I liked about the pink party pony. Just as we finished singing we passed what looked like a local eating establishment, but once we passed we were confused in what we saw.

Standing in front of Pinkie and I was what looked like the entire populace of Ponyville. Unicorns, Pegasi and Earth ponies all stood in front us some with shocked expressions some of them were confused.

I stood there Pinkie still on my back hanging her hooves around my neck while the ponies starred at the two of us. Both sides said nothing. Their was nothing. Earlier i wandered if the ponies would flee in terror from the big bipedal monsters but they didn't, all in all they stood there ground as I stood mine. Zecora must of helped them with there xenophobia.

Eventually Roger and the others finally caught up to us it was about damn time too. I didn't really know how long it would take for the ponies to start freaking out but now I was glad Celestia and Luna were here beside us, who knows what the hell would have happened.

Even with the Princesses beside me there was still the awkward silence that fell upon the town, but like the ruler she is
Celestia brought her hoof up to begin speaking to her loyal subjects.

"Citizens of Ponyville I see that you have questions and I also see that most of you are scared and confused. I am here to say that there is no cause for alarm, there was a small incident at sweat apple acres but nothing to worry about. I also see that all of you are wondering who these two are well here with me are Equestria's newest residence they come from a far away land and there are known as 'Humans'. With me here are Sgt Benjamin Emilio York."

"Yo" I waved to the crowd who just stared back at me.

"And over here is his brother Lt Roger Blake York."

"Hi" said in response

"Now I'm sorry my little ponies but we must be off there many things that we must discuss in Canterlot but rest assured that these two mean you all no harm and that you are all safe."

Large amounts of happy sighs left the mouths of the happy ponies in town, with the assurance of the solar princess why shouldn't they be.

Celestia turned back to our group with a happy smile on her muzzle. "Well I'm glad my little pony's are not causing chaos." (Hehe funny) "Come the chariot is close by once we leave then we can discuss a few matters on the way to the castle."

"Well then lead the way Celestia." I told her with that she started to trot her way to what supposed to be the direction of her chariot after a few steps I caught twilight looking at me for some reason.

"Something on you're mind Twilight?" I asked her with a raised brow.

"Um yes I do I have to ask why do you call the princess by her name Instead of well saying well princess?" I looked to her and I knew why I didn't call either Celestia or Luna princess it is because in America we didn't have royalty and also for the fact that I fucking hated royalty god I'm glad I got the assassination job to kill the queen of England. Stupid bitch

Honestly trying to retake power over the people of the united kingdom big no no the people did not like that one bit. I don't know why M.I.6 asked the U.S. For the assassination but I never really cared I'm just glad I got the job.

"Easy to answer Twilight One. We don't have royalty in our country Two. It doesn't matter who you are king, queen, prince, princess I'm still going to treat you as my equal so with that if you are a part of royalty dont expect me to acknowledge you as such."

The girls were skeptical about my response but it is the truth, both Rarity and Twilight did not like it one bit. "Well I must say Benjamin that what you just said very uncouth I mean really."

"Now Rarity I know what I said may seem that I would not respect Celestia or Luna but I do, you see some of those who happen to be of royalty tend to miss use their power and that is one of the things I do not like about royalty."

Rarity had a look remembrance on her face she thought back at the time of gala when she spent time with the insufferable prince blueblood. *sigh* "You do have point dear Benjamin I have had my share of being acquainted with an unsavory part of royalty." she shivered at the thought of what happened that night. "Please let us not speak of this any further."

"Very well Rarity we won't speak of this. Celestia?" I called to her. "How long until we reach you're carriage?" I asked her with a raised brow.

"Well why don't you look ahead of you we already here." I looked to the carriage it was 'tiny' I mean seriously it looked as if Celestia and Luna could barely fit and hell Roger and I are taller then the both of them.

"I highly doubt we are all going to fit in that tiny thing, look there about 11 of us do you really think we all can fit?" I asked her but she kept a small smile on her muzzle as if nothing could be wrong.

"It may seem small Sgt but it is alot larger on the inside." she spoke back to me before heading on inside, one by one the group of ponies went Inside first Celestia followed by her sister Luna, then Shining Armor, Twilight, Rarity, Fluttershy, Applejack, and Rainbow Dash.

Pinkie and I were up next to get in 'She is still wrapped around my neck' I looked inside and i can see the ponies looking at Pinkie and I and most had looks of being impatient Especially skittles'. I lifted my right leg up on to the door i placed a bit of my weight on it till i heard.

*Creak*

Their. Is. No. Way. In. Hell. I'm climbing into this thing. I know it was just a creak from my weight but it was only a tiny bit of my weight i mean hell with all my gear i should weigh at least 320 not including pinkie actual how much does she freaking weigh seriously she has been with me since we left Sweet Apple Acres and it feels like she weighs as much as Tavi does... Fucking weird! With that initial thought still plaguing my mind I stepped aside from the carriage and looked to Roger.

"Yeah you go ahead and get on first bro." Roger didn't question me he simply shrugged his shoulders and went on and stepped inside.

•Ten seconds later•
*CRREEEAAAAAKKKKKK*

•Twenty seconds later•
*SNAP*

•Five seconds later•
*CRASH*

The axles on the carriage snapped sending the damn thing to crash onto the Ponyville street sending dust and dirt to fly away from the wreckage.

I looked inside to see a multiple pony and one human pile-up. "You see." I spoke to the others inside while chuckling like a hyena. "I knew this was going to happen." When Pinkie saw the ponies and human inside the wreckage she went into a fit of giggles and fell of my back.

"Really funny asshole now shut up and help us out of this blasted thing!" Roger yelled.

There were sounds of discomfort and maybe pain coming from the ponies inside as I helped Roger out the carriage.

"Hay get yer flank off ma face!"

"Oops s-s-sorry A-a-applejack."

"Would some pony please be a dear and GET OFF OF ME!!!"

"Tia." *grunt* "Maybe thou should stop eating so much cake thous flank tis getting quite LARGE."

"LUNA!!!" Celestia roared, a giggle came from Luna as Roger helped her out of the carriage, all the ponies aside from

Celestia were outside the carriage waiting for there solar princess to exit the broken down wreckage.
As I helped Celestia get back on to her hooves I came close to her and spoke not so loud that the other could hear us but just enough so she can hear my words.

"If it means anything from me I think you have a very nice flank." Celestia stood there dumbfounded from Ben's words never in her entire life as anypony or any creature ever had the courage to complement or for that matter to say anything to the solar princess about her own flank. Aside from her sister of course.
Celestia face turned bright red from the soldiers words, the two of them slowly got outside of the carriage Celestia face was still a little red and this caught the attention of her little sister.

"Sister is thou alright tis face looks a bit red?"

"I-I'm ok Luna." Celestia stumbled with her words she looked around seeing the ponies that were inside the carriage were not and looked to be in good health, well except Rarity whom was complaining about her mane. Celestia sighed and looked to the wrecked carriage. "I believe flying to Canterlot will be out of the question."

"Indeed it is. Now is there any other way of getting to Canterlot?" I asked and with irony the sound of a horn invaded our ears.

*Tooooooot Tooooooot*

I whipped my head around and noticed the approaching train coming into the old timey type train station. "Well that answered my question." I looked back to the ponies all of them fixed themselves from unfortunate accident and looked ready to leave once again.

"Looks like we're taking the train, everyone ready to go?" The others looked to me and gave me different confirmations of being ready. Rarity still complained about her mane but we had to get to train before it left. 'part of me asks why the hell do I like to hear her complain? Well beats me. Honestly I find it cute.'

We made are way to the train station it wasn't far just a couple of blocks the ponies talked about why the carriage broke down Celestia had the two Pegasi that flew the carriage to Ponyville told them to stay there and take the carriage the local blacksmith for repairs. Back to our journey to the train we reached our destination. I looked at the train and it was pink really really pink I looked over the rest of the pink monstrosity and noticed that the only ponies that were left on board were the one's coming out of the last caboose at the end of the train.

I still had my vision to the last caboose until Celestia caught my attention. "B-Ben please make you're way Inside the train shall leave for Canterlot soon." i could still see a hint of red in her face 'My comment couldn't have affected her that much to cause a blush. Would it?' i shrugged my shoulders and didn't bother to look into the matter. I made my way inside and saw the caboose i walked into was fit for a king or should i say princess, it had the works, a crystal chandelier hung from the top of the caboose the chair's, drapes hell mostly everything was laced with finest of silk and there was a bedding area that took almost half of the caboose 'Damn I have never been on cross country train before or whatever the hell their called oh and the dart train in Dallas doesn't even come close the equaling to comparison to this train.'

I was the only being left standing as the others already chosen their seating I looked around trying to find a spot to sit in but noticed that the ponies took all the chairs and pillows to sit on, Roger himself decided to sit on the floor, I looked around and the only thing that wasn't preoccupied was the king size bed at the end of the caboose with a shrug i made my way over to it, I took Tavi off my back and placed her right beside me on the bed I got myself comfortable because part of me knew this was going to be a long long trip.

As Ben and the others made themselves comfortable for their long trip inside the caboose at the end of the train the last passenger exited from the caboose taking her first few hoof steps out she looked around and she noticed something was... Different.

The mare made her way away from the train station and into the town center of Ponyville she looked around and saw that every mare, stallion filly and colt were there speaking to one another. "What the buck?!" the mare exclaimed eyes wide open with confusion.

From all the ponies talking she couldn't here the one pony trying to get her attention "Lyra LYRA!!!" The pony shouted catching the attention of the mint green mare she blinked away her confusion and looked around to find the voice shouting her name.

"LYRA!" The voice shouted again the mint green mare whipped her head around and found the one pony calling her, it was her best friend.

Bon-Bon a tan colored earth pony with a two toned mane colored blue and and a swirl of pink. "Bon-Bon!" Lyra yelled as she ran over to her roommate giving the earth a pony a big hug.

"Well it's good to see you to Lyra, oh how was the audition in Canterlot?" Lyra gave her best friend a big grin when Bon-Bon asked.

"I nailed it I'm going to be part of the first chairs for the all the concerts!"

"I'm very proud of you Lyra did they tell you when you're first performance will be?"

"Huh? oh yeah should be in about a month or so. Hey Bonny what in Celestia's name is going on? All of Ponyville is out here!"

"Oh um Lyra?" Bon-Bon said nervously. "Before I say anything I want to tell you I'm sorry."

Lyra was confused why would Bon-Bon say she's sorry? "Sorry for what?" she asked.

"Well um it seems you were right the entire time. About the humans. They do exist."

"WHAT?! Bon-Bon why do you all of a sudden believe me about the humans!?" She asked with a raised brow.

"Lyra." *Sigh* "I don't think you are going like what I have to say but well there were humans here two of them they were being escorted to the train station by the princesses with Twilight and her friends."

Lyra stood there looking at her friend trying to figure if she was lying but the look on Bon-Bon's face said it all. "WHAT!?!?!?"

*TOOOOOT TOOOOOT*

Lyra whipped her head around again looking to the train seeing it being ready to depart to Canterlot. In a mad dash she made her way to the train station she was at a full gallop when the wheels began to turn giving the locomotive enough power to move forward.

Lyra was so close but yet so far the engine of the train proved that it was to powerful and train itself proved that it was to fast for the mint green unicorn to keep up with, the further away it got the further away her dreams of meeting a human would be achieved.

It was now only in the distance where the train was that Lyra gave up on trying to catch it her legs buckled causing her to stumble forward she watched as the train rounded the mountain finally escaping her view.

Lyra couldn't control the tears there were beginning to stream down her muzzle, she sat upon her haunches and lifted her fore legs into the air as she screamed. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!"

•thus ends our tale in Ponyville the humans the princesses along with Shining Armor and the mane six sit quietly in the caboose while the train made it's way to Canterlot.•

•Meanwhile in another universe!•

It has been four hours since the raid on Asaad Naul Aidid's compound in southern Afghanistan with the word Texas being used as code for kill confirmed on Asaad once Texas was called reports starting blasting all over the internet causing thousand of U.S. Citizens to flock to the white house in Washington D.C. To show support and thanks on the raid against the new Al-Qaeda leader. But for the president that would only be the good news that he will report to the people of the United States.

Inside the war room The President was pacing back and forth in thought his staff stood by waiting for the President to say something, it was then President Obama halted in his tracks and looked straight to his staff.

"How could this have happened." He asked looking to General Walberg "Why were we not notified of any enemy armor near the compound!?" President Obama was furious the raid may have been a success but at the loss of two soldiers it was unacceptable.

"Mr. President I have personally checked all satellite images on and near the compound there shows no signs of any Enemy Armor even remotely close to the compound sir."

President Obama went back to his chair sitting down with his right hand placed over his brow deep in thought. A few minutes passed and nobody inside the room said a single word the President removed his hand from his brow and looked up to his staff still waiting for his words.

"Who were they? General who were the soldiers that lost their Lives today?"

General Walberg looked through his portfolio searching for the soldiers listed for the raid, as the General scanned his documents two files popped out. The files he was looking for.

General Walberg scanned both files noticing that something was same about both, when he pieced it together he exclaimed rather loudly. "Dammit!"

"General?" President Obama question.

"Mr. President you may want to have a look at these." The General said as he walked to the president's desk handing him both files.

President Obama opened each file taking out the first page to both, both pages showed a picture of the soldier his name, rank, date of birth, ECT. In his right hand Obama held the page of the soldier Lt. Roger Blake York, height 6,1, 27 years of age date of birth December, 10th, 1985 ethnicity Black. The president read details of Lt. York's file the picture showed a black man with short buzz cut hair no signs of any scars or any other type of abnormality.

As the President finished reading Lt. York's file he placed the file on his desk and began reading the other. Sgt. Benjamin Emilio, York. "Wait. Brothers?" President Obama asked which got a nod from the General, President Obama read further into the file, height 6,4, 23 years of age date of birth June 8th, 1988. "General am I reading this right it says here that Sgt York's birthdate is... Today?"

"Their is no error their Mr. President that file is the most up to date one we have."

"Jesus Christ!" Obama exclaimed. He dropped both files on to his desk and clenched his hands to form fists. "This was supposed to be simple operation! Just simple get in grab Intel annihilate target and leave!" *sigh* Obama unclenched his fist and brought his hands together over his face, his voice became somber with his new thought "The American people are waiting outside right now wanting a speech just like last time, but now I have to tell them we lost two of our own and they were brothers no less."

Behind The President stood the second in command Vice-President Joe Biden he had frown upon his face as he looked to the nation's leader. "Barack what's done is done they did their job, what happened to them was unexpected but you can not beat yourself up for that, the best thing we can do is honor those two brothers for their deeds."

President Obama took his hands away from his face he turned around to look at Vice President Biden, he new he was right those two brothers fought for their lives against outnumbering enemy forces even though they lost, the mission itself was still a success and that what was needed to be done.

"Joe you're right we will honor them for their bravery against the Impossible. Send someone to the roof i want the flag at half mast today, let us go the world is waiting for us."

The President left the war room his staff close behind him as he made his way outside to the podium he would to inform the world of today's success and failure.

Thousand's of Americans where outside the white house gates waiting for the nation's leader to confirm the successful raid on Asaad's compound many brought with them American flags, and many posters depicting their hatred for the Al-Qaeda leader. Chants were yelled beginning to heighten the crowds enthusiasm.

"U.S.A.!!!"

"U.S.A.!!!"

"U.S.A.!!!"

All the chanting of the people ceased as President Obama made is way to the podium in front of him cameras from many news station filled his view along with thousands of people standing outside the gates.

President Obama took in a deep breath and exhaled coming his nerves. "My fellow Americans it is today that I confirm that Asaad Naul Aidid is no more."

The crowd outside the white house gates exploded in joy chants grew louder the people were ecstatic the one man that had terrorized their country and her sisters was now dead.
The crowed was still chanting and the President could hear it but there was no smile upon his face instead a lone tear fell from his eye and all the cameras in front him captured it.

The crowds chanting began to die down for the president was not finished with his speech. "Our Seal team successfully raided Asaad's compound in southern Afghanistan where they were able to take down Asaad and gather all Intel of Al-Qaeda's plans, again we did take down Asaad but not without losses of our own." The President finished his sentence and that moment the flag on top of the white house slowly made it's way to half mast.

The people were confused and worried reporters start trying to get the Presidents attention but only one voice broke through. "Mr. President what happened?"

"I will not go Into detail, after our Seal team raided the compound enemy forces started to move in on the compound, we lost two today they were not just brothers in arms but actual brothers." All was silent from the reporters they waited for the President to continue what he had to say it wasn't about a moment latter to secret service agents walked up to the podium and stood by the president side each one carrying a photo of a deceased soldier.

"These two are who we lost today they are... Were brothers this here." he picked up the photo to his right. "This is Lt. Roger, Blake York." he showed the cameras the picture of the black Lt. In his officers uniform. he handed the picture back over to the agent that held it before him, President Obama turned around and grabbed the other photo of the now deceased soldier. "This is Sgt. Benjamin, Emilio York. Both soldiers lost contact with their squad as enemy forces moved in on the compound they fought for their Lives today doing their best to evade the enemy forces."

As the president continued his speech 1,300 miles away a lone woman stood in her three bedroom house in Frisco Texas watching the President give his speech on her television as the photos of the two soldiers whom lost their Lived were showed her heart broke and shatterd the woman fell to her knees as tears began to stream down her face.

"My son's." was all she could say as she broke down further falling limp onto the floor as she cried her eyes out with tears, never in her life has she been so broken her only son's were now gone from this world never to return. Never again could she hear her son's laughs to see theirs smile's to celebrate their... Birthday.
