Silence in Equestria

The Sector II - Episode VII:

First blood

As Silence flew through the night hunting for food, she wondered about where she could hunt safely. Silence was so hungry she could barely control herself. Minutes felt like days until she decided not to wait for the food but go for it instead. She quietly sneaked into a random house looking for her victim. She was starving, but she had to be extremely slow and careful. She opened every door incredibly slowly and patiently, walked around the corridors quietly and looked around every corner with extreme care. Few minutes passed only, yet she felt like the sun may come up in any minute. Finally she found the bedroom. Her breathing became more and faster, her hearth beat faster than a speedcore song, as she came closer and closer to her food. In the bed, a brown, messy haired earth pony was living her dreams, not knowing about the stranger two hooves away from her. Silence licked her fangs; the anesthetic was dripping from it. She slowly leaned to her neck, and carefully stuck her fangs into it, then began to suck the ruby red miracle out of it. The mare's blood was way different then the ones she got used to, yet it tasted strangely good... no, it was wonderful. Silence loved it, she wanted more, more and more. But she had to stop. She can't risk to kill a pony just because it's blood is tasty. As she finished she slowly backed away, not noticing something behind her. The very next moment she only realized that she kicked something by accident. But before it would have fallen making a huge noise, she grabbed it with magic. It was an instrument, a cello actually. Silence carefully placed it back, then opened the window, left the room and closed it back with magic. She flew away as soon as she was able to, trying to calm herself that it's over and with the fact it won't be this hard next time. She sneaked back to the library through the balcony. Nice and easy. Twilight was asleep of course. Silence went to sleep as well, which wasn't hard as she fell asleep almost instantly.

"Silence. Silence!" a familiar voice said. Silence slowly opened her eyes. "Good morning dream dweller." It was Twilight, levitating some coffee with her unicorn magic.

Silence rubbed her eyes and looked at the grandfather clock at the other side of the room. It was 11 AM already, yet she felt like she slept only some minutes.

"Here, I made you coffee, we have a lots of things to do today." she gave Silence the drink and showed her the checklist she just made.

After Silence slowly drank her coffee they went for a breakfast in the restaurant nearby. Silence couldn't help but ask her "So... what's the first thing we need to do?"

Twilight replied "Tomorrow the pegasi plan an entire storm since cause of the lack of water, flowers are going to wither."

"Yes, and...?" asked Silence with even bigger curiosity.

"Storm means lighting and thunderclaps, which means somepony have to take care of Fluttershy the time being. She is afraid of them."

"So you mean you're going to do the job?"

"Not exactly. That's where the problem comes from. AJ is busy with packing the yesterday's harvest, Rarity needs to travel to Canterlot buying materials for her new dresses, and I need to write a summary report to the princess about my reports."

"How about Pinkie? Or Rainbow?"

"Rainbow leads the pegasi during the action. About Pinkie... we'll see it soon."

"So next checkpoint is Sugarcube Corner?"

"Yes, let's go."

Twilight paid for the breakfast and they headed to the Sugarcube Corner to ask Pinkie if she can do the job. But in all of a sudden, Twilight stopped. She noticed something, or someone. A pony, who was packing her furniture and luggage on a wagon. Twilight went there leaving Silence waiting:

"Hey Blossomforth! How are you doing?"

The pegasus turned back "Twilight, hello! I'm quite busy right now, as you can see. So much things I have, and so few I need, but I don't want to just throw them out, I'd rather sell them or..." Blossom gasped as she had a great idea "...or I'd just give them away." She opened a chest of hers and grabbed the first two things she saw.

"Here you go." she gave Twilight a pair of earmuffs. "aaand this one is for the new girl." she also gave her a pair of relatively big white earrings.

Twilight blushed "Thank you but..." but the pegasus interrupted her

"No, no, Twilight. You did so much for me and everyone. Now it's my time." she said smiling.

"Fine. But what is this fuss about? Are you moving from town?"

"Yes, actually. I'm kinda sad I have to leave Ponyville, but..." Blossom's sweet smile and cheerfully look suddenly turned into sadness.

"Yes, I know how you feel. And when will you move?"

"Next week, to Cloudsdale, family reasons. Could you tell it to Pinkie, so it won't take her by surprise."

"Of course, we were just about to visit her."

"Thank you, Twilight."

Not wasting their time, the girls went to drop by Pinkie.

"Tomorrow? As in the whole day tomorrow? Nonononono, I'll have to babysit tomorrow." was Pinkie's answer.

"Okay then, we have to find another way." answered Twilight after a sigh.

"...but...but I you can send her here and I'd babysit Fluttershy too." said Pinkie then started to laugh on her own idea "Fluttershy in diapers and a bib.".

"Calm down Pinkie, I'll take care of her." interrupted Silence with a serious voice.

"I don't know, Silence. Fluttershy doesn't communicate really good with people she barely knows. Especially in such circumstances."

"Doesn't matter. Do you have any better idea?" questioned Silence lowering her eyebrows.

"No. I mean not yet."

"Trust me Twilight, I can do it."

Twilight sighed "Okay." then she turned to Pinkie "By the way, Blossomforth's moving from town soon."

"Oki, doki." she answered. It took a few seconds for Pinkie to process what Twilight just said, but when her mind was done with it, Pinkie's face turned sour and sad, her mane and tail deflated. Now she had a hairstyle similar to Silence's, but longer. With a voice of someone who's about to cry she said "Why would she leave us? Doesn't she like it here?"

"I don't know Pinkie. But she said it's not her choice, that she is sad she have to leave, and she'll try to pay a visit as often as she can." calmed her Twilight with no success. "Pinkie, she needs you. I bet she'd be moved if you'd make her a farewell party. Otherwise why would she tell me to tell you?"

Pinkie's hair suddenly became poofy again. "Then... I'll throw her THE BIGGEST PARTY EVER!" she shouted joyfully. Pinkie turned back into her normal, jovial, adorable form. Silence and Twilight smiled and after bidding farewell they went on their own way.
