That one night

A/N/ ^____^ hey guys this is Scully (well duh, obviously!) anyways I just went through and fixed all the mistakes that were made with the help of a very good friend Zack1006. Thank you for giving your time to my story. I hope you enjoy! Please rate and let me know what you think.

A mare of pure white coat with an electric blue mane and pimpen violet shades sat with a smile on her face as she bobbed her head in beat of her life. Vinyl Scratch (a.k.a DJ Pon-3) sat atop her throne in the DJ both staring over the countless ponies dancing and moving their groove thing. The ponies were having a time of their lives as Scratch worked her magic and pumped her soul and life fire into her music; it was her baby.

Sadly, not all the ponies where having a time of their lives: one mare who was dragged to the 'accursed hoax’ that was called music was Octavia who had been coerced here by her good friend Lyra.

Two mares sat at a makeshift bar that was off to the side of the mass of ponies. The bar itself had a good view of the stage, mainly so the pony behind the counter could see if the DJ needed a drink.

“Uuuuugghhhhh” Groaned a certain gray mare with a jet black mane and amethyst eyes. “I can't believe you talked me into this, Lyra!” She yelled over the heavy beats of the subwoofers.

“Oh chill out, Octavia, and pull that stick out of your plot for once.” Lyra said with a slightly annoyed expression on her face.

“But I don't understand how any one can listen to this nonsense. This is not music, it's garbage! Preposterous nosies thrown together with random abandon!” She spat the last sentence in a sign of disgust. Unknowingly to her, her hoof was slightly tapping to the beat of the electronic music.

Lyra on the other hoof did noticed Octavia's tapping and decided not to point it out. “Whatever you say, Octavia. I still think you need to let your snout down and take your dildo out of your plot for once. It'll help with your social life.”

Octavia stared at her friend, her mouth agape. “How absurd! How can you use that form of language? I do not have a 'dildo' in my plot; besides, that would be uncomfortable.” She replied indignantly with a noticeable blush.

“Why are you blushing Octavia? Are you saying you have a dildo?” Lyra responded a bit surprised.

“What? Nonononono I have no such thing.” she said trying to look aghast but the ever increasing blush ruined the effect.

Lyra just stared at her, astonished that a pony of such supposed dignity would have such toys of pleasure.

Before the conversation could continue a griffin security guard came up to them. “Ladies, your presence has been requested. If you would, please follow me.” The griffin turned and started to walk away on his hind legs, easily looking over the crowd of dancing ponies.

The two mares looked at each other with questioning looks, before quickly catching up.

Vinyl had switched to previous recorded music so she could get a break and a drink. But also so she can talk to this pony that apparently wasn't enjoying her self. As she made her way to the makeshift bar she came into ear shot of the two mares’ conversation. Vinyl couldn't rightly figure out what they where saying, so she took a seat a few down from the mares. She heard a few collective words mainly around dildos, but the rest was drowned out in the steady wubwubwub of the music.

Hummm, sounds like these two know how to have some fun. Vinyl thought to her self. I think I'll have a chit chat with the two after the show. Vinyl left with a sly grin on her face and walked up to one of the bouncers. Leaning over, she shouted just loud enough for him to hear her over the music. “Hey you! See those two mares over at the bar?”

“The cute ones?”

“They’re all cute. No, I'm talking about the gray earth pony and the turquoise unicorn.”

“Oh, the one with a treble and a lyre as cutie marks?”

“Yeah! Get them to meet me in the back!”

The bouncer looked at her and the two mares with a grin on his face. “Sounds like you have plans tonight.”

“Hehe, maybe! We’ll see!” Vinyl said with a small smirk on her face.

“Ok, then. I'll get them for you.”

“Thanks.”

The two then went their separate ways: one back to her turn tables, the other to retrieve the mares in question.

“Ladies, your presence has been requested. If you would, please follow me.” said the guard.

“Ummm, ok.” came an unsure reply form the both of them. Following the gryphon through the crowded floor, Lyra and Octavia were lead through a semi hidden side door with 'V.I.P.' clearly stamped on it. In the corridor it opened to, the contrast was huge. Here, sterile grey walls replaced the flashing rainbow lights that they had gotten used to. As they were walking down the corridor thoughts were racing through their noggins.

“Hey Lyra, where do you think he’s taking us?” Octavia said in a barely audible whisper.

“We must be below the stage or something.” Lyra replied in whisper of the same degree.

They came to a stop and were told to wait in a room to their right. The two ponies where sitting in there for what felt like hours looking around with their imaginations running on the possibility's of why they would be there. In the corner there was a coffee table with 'Wing boner: exotic edition'. Lyra saw it and blushed, before trotting over to investigate it further. Gingerly lifting it up in her magic, she took a moment to peek inside with a giggle. Octavia watched this with a bemused look on her face. “What was that.”

“Heh, oh nothing.” Lyra said while scratching the back of her head somewhat shyly.

Octavia just looked at her, eyes narrowing in suspicion. "Hmmm..." She murmured to her self. Getting up, she crossed the room to stand next to Lyra. Looking down at the magazine in confusion, she flipped it open randomly, coming to a stop as an extending page fell out full length. Studying it for a moment, her eyes widened, and her blush returned full force. Unceremoniously shoving it closed, she throws it onto the table it had previously occupied. Nearby, Lyra was laughing so hard she had fallen to the floor.

“Hahahahah *snort* hahhaha you have never seen a magazine like that, haven’t you?” Lyra managed to say through her laughing fit.

“Well... umm... I..” Was all that Octavia could manage to say, but deep down she knew the magazine well, just not the exotic edition. She never thought she’d get aroused by a zebra and a griffin. She just sat there tapping her hooves, waiting for Lyra to calm down. She started to look around and noticed a picture by a mirror. It struck her curiosity, and she got up to look at it. It depicted a pony on fire; she let out a slight gasp. But on further analysis the pony was a pegasus, but he had a smug grin on his face.

But he was burning, how can he smile like that? At the bottom corner there was a note that read -Love you always! Keep up the good work! Your 1# fan, Dad- Hmmm, interesting. But before Octavia could contemplate anymore on the framed picture, the door opened behind her and a white mare with an electric blue mane and violet shades on her face walked in. “Hey! Glad you came.” She said in a somewhat tom-coltish voice.

“And you are-” was all Octavia could get out before Lyra screamed near her ear making her wince in pain and rub said piece of flesh that was attached to her skull. She wasn't sure if it still worked but after she rubbed it she could hear ringing. Well that is a good sign. Lyra was blabbing off how she loved the pony’s work and what not. Then the pony walked to Octavia and stuck out her hoof. “Hey there, my name is Vinyl Scratch. Most people call me DJ-PON-3.”

“Ummmm....hi.” Octavia waved shyly.

“Not one for words are you?” Vinyl said smugly.

“Well, I don't know who you are.” Octavia replyed through a blush.

“Wait. You don’t know who I am yet your at my gig?” Shocked that this mare has no idea who she was.

“Well.... yeah, Lyra brought me.” Octavia said, lifting a hoof to indicate the turquoise mare behind Vinyl.

Vinyl looked back at Lyra who waved cheerfully in response. “I see. Well... that leaves one thing and one thing only.”

“Whats that?” Octavia says with a quizzical look on her face.

“Well duh! We should get to know each other! I have to pack up my stuff then we can go get a drink. What do you say?” With that Vinyl took off her shades, layed them to rest on her horn and looked at Octavia with a winning smile.

Octavia just stares in bewilderment at Vinyl's ruby red eyes, trying to figure this mare out. Why would she go out and ask us to get a drink? I don't even know her.”But before Octavia could answer, Lyra burst in and cheerfully stated “Of course we’ll go with you, Vinyl!”

“Great! Meet me out front in ten.”

As the two mares walked out of the room and down the corridor, they contemplated what had just happened.

“Lyra, why did you agree to go?” Octavia asked, irritated.

“Because its DJ-PON-3, duh. I mean, come on! She’s the party pony of the world next to Pinky Pie.”

“But we don’t know the real her! What if she drugs us and takes us to a secret room where she cuts us up and guts us and, like, turns us into a cake or something, or ….cupcakes?” She said with a hint of horror in her voice and fear on her face.

“Oh, don’t be silly Tavi! You’re just a silly filly!”

“You know I hate that nick name, right?”

Suddenly they heard a loud, girly scream, and a blur slammed into Octavia with a force to be reckoned with.

At that one place

A/N/ IM USEN CANTERLOCK SO IT IS IMPORTANT. IF YOU HAVEN'T READ THE NEW ENDING OF CHAPTER 1 DO SO NOW. SO THAT THE BEGINNING OF CHAPTER 2 MAKES SENSE. That is all enjoy and thank you for reading also I will like to give special thanks to zack1006 for helping with this story.

Lyra was trying to figure out what just happened. She saw a white pony on top of Octavia. The pony’s mane and tail was a royal purple. She had three diamonds as a cutie mark. Lyra turned her head with a blush when she figured out that she was staring at her flank for longer then just a glance; she was down right checking this mare out. “I could so tap that.” She thought to her self with a smile.

“Rarity! What are you doing? This is definitely not like you, not to mention no where near what a lady should act like.”

“OH, hush darling, I haven't seen you in a long time.”

“Rarity hun, I was at your place just this morning.”

“Yes of course, but still; it was rather lonely at the shop without you.”

“Yes I missed you to. Now can you please let me up? My mane is getting disheveled in all this dirt.”

“Yes of course. Sorry about that.” Rarity said with a blush as she got off of Octavia and lightly whipped her tail across Octavia’s face.

“Ummmm, can you please tell me whats going on here?” Said a unicorn with confusion plastered across her face.

“Oh, *giggle* sorry Lyra. Please, let me introduce you to Rarity. She runs Carousel Boutique and is a seamstress as well as a fashion designer.”

“Hello darling.”Rarity extended a hoof to shake. Lyra shakes it in return with a hearty smile.

“Rarity this is Lyra. She was my best friend back in music school.”

“Hi.”

“Hey Beats, are we all packed?”

“Yes Vinyl. The carriage is ready to move out.” Came the reply of a blue pegusus with a jet black mane and and a subwoffer as a cutie mark.

“Great! Take it to storage; I have a mare’s night out tonight.”

“Ok, well make sure you know where you are the next morning and what you have in you. You don’t want a repeat of last time.”

“Ya.” Vinyl thought to her self. “I really don’t want to go through that again.”

-------------------------------Flashback-------------------------------------

Vinyl woke up to the baring light of Celestia's sun on a pretty luxurious bed with a killer hangover.

“Uggghhhh. Where am I? Arrguhh turn off the damn spot light, and when did subwoffers get so annoying? What the hay happened last night? Damn, and why does my flank hurt?”

Vinyl tried to get up, but yelped in pain as she felt something in her flank. She looked back in annoyance. She sees a block of silver just above her beloved double eight note that serves as her cutie mark.

“Wha... what is this?” She tries to use magic but whences in pain from her raging head ache.
She tries to maneuver around to get a better look, but feels something inside her flank that shouldn't be there. She tries to use her hoof to take off the block of silver, but fails, realizing that it was duct tape.

“Oh, this is bucken fantastic. Ughhhh, how do those earth ponies and pegasi use their damn hooves for this?” She groans as she tries desperately to remove the adhesive tape. While busy trying to remove the type and groaning in pain (and a hint of pleasure), the door silently clicks open as a stunning pegasus mare walks in. She stares blankly at the mare on the bed who was trying to get what looks like tape off her flank. Unlike the white unicorn mare, the pegasus remembers everything last night to a point that ended in the living room where they started to drink heavily. After that she was at a loss. But she remembered the mare’s name.

“Ummmm, Vinyl. What’s going on here?” She said in a hush tone so that the hangover didn't amplify her vice any more then needed.

“What?! Who are you and what are you doing here?”

“Woah, woah, calm down there hotshot. You were the one that took me home for some fun.”

“Oh, ok. Well I think I have something taped into my flank and cant get it out.”

“I see. Well here, let me help with that.”

“Thanks, I was starting to get annoyed.”

“It didn't sound like you where annoyed, you sounded like you where pleasing yourself just a minute ago.”

“Just get it out already my flank hurts.”

“Yes ma’am.” The pegusus mare replied sarcastically. “How did i end up doing it with her? Oh, wait. That’s right, she had a really nice flank. Meh, works for me.” she thought to herself.

The pegusus mare grabbed the tape and ripped it off, erecting a scream of pain from Vinyl. The mare looked down and couldn't contain her laughter. Where the tape was, every strand of hair that it was attached to was ripped away, revealing what was causing Vinyl’s ‘pain’. Right in her flank there was what looked to be a dildo shoved pretty deep into her.

“HAHAHAHAHAHA! Wow Vinyl, I wouldn't expect you to be the one with a stick up your flank.”

“Huh? What do you mean?” Vinyl reached back and pulled something out of her flank. It was long and wiggly. In her delayed and hungover mind it took her a while to figure out what it was.

“Sooooooo I apparently slept with a dildo in my flank.”

By this time the mare’s laughter had subsided to just a giggle. “Ya I guess so.”

“Wait I still don’t know who you are.”

“Oh ya you probably forgot. My name is Spitfire.”

------------------------------end of flashback--------------------------

Vinyl had a blush on her face as she reminisced on that morning. “Heh, heh, yeah that was a bad week. Anyways, later.” And with that she left through the door. Then, coming to the double doors in the front she exited. She saw the ponies that she was going to have mares night out with and noticed there was another pony with them. A white mare unicorn with a flank that makes you go “DAAAMNNN I could so tap that.” When Vinyl realized that she said that out loud it was to late. The other mares heard her and turned around.

“Oh, hey Vinyl.”

“Hey Lyra. Hey Tavi. And what’s your name sweet cheeks?” Vinyl finished, turning to the direction of of the pretty pony with the royal mane. Vinyl forgot that she was more interested into the mare’s flank the the pony herself.

“Well now darling, I have one question for you before I tell you my name.”

“Ya, what’s that hun?” Vinyl was still absentmindedly staring at the mare’s flank.
The mare turned to the side displaying a better view of fer flank. “You should keep turning so I can see the plot.” Vinyl thought to her self.

“Do you like what you see?”

Vinyl, still absent of mind, just kept staring and replied. “hay ya.” But apparently the other two mares were in the same boat. The mare just lets out a giggle and quietly to her self.“I have these three wrapped around my hoof.”

“ I think Octavia might get jealous. I don’t mind, but my Tavi might not. My name is Rarity, and you can stop looking now.” She said, extending a hoof to shake. In return Vinyl bumped it.

“No darling, you shake it.”

“Shake what?” Vinyl said with a confused expression on her face.

“The hoof, Vinyl. You shake the hoof.”

“What? Why would I do that? I would rather have a hay shake then a hoof shake; that would be gross.”

“You’re hopeless darling. You really are.”

”Wait. Your Tavi?” Vinyl exclaimied in surprise.

“Yeah, your Tavi. What do you mean? Octavia hates that name.” Lyra said with a bemused look on her face.

“Yes, her Tavi.” Octavia said. She walked up to Rarity and gave her an affectionate nuzzle. Then the two share a passionate kiss.

“That’s hot.” Vinyl said with a grin. “Wait, your a fillyfooler Octavia?”

“Yes. Yes, I am I don’t like the term but I am.”

“Wow that’s hot. Any ways maybe I was wrong. You don't always have a dildo up your flank.” said Lyra

“Oh, I don’t know about that.” Rarity said. “If she put as much passion into sex as she did her music, I don’t think we would stop any time soon.” with that she gave a seductive wink.

Octavia couldn’t respond to that, so she just sat there with a heavy blush across her face.

“Are you guys interested in a threesome?” Vinyl said, curiosity taking over.

“Oh darling, I wouldn’t mind. Personally I think it would be fantastic! We can dress up in kinky out fits! I even have some of those maid outfits, those are particularly sexy. We could ev-” before Rarity could finish her little fantasy Octavia barged in.

“HELL NO!” Octavia composed her self from her outburst. “I mean no! I would not stand for that. I am no ruffian and I will only have ‘sex’ with one pony, and she is right here.” Lifting a hoof to indicate Rarity.

Vinyl leaned to Lyra. “Ya she still has a stick up her rump.”

“Ya I think so.” Lyra said.

“Hey Octavia, since you still have a stick up your flank I have a question. Do you like bananas?”

“Ughhh i don't have a stick up my flank.”

Oh calm down darling. I wonder the same thing about you sometimes, but every time I look at your plot I don’t see one.”

“That’s not lady like of you Rarity. And to answer your question Vinyl yes I like bananas but I can’t see how that’s relevant.”

“OK soooo your a mmmmm beeyetch that likes mmmm bananas.”

“What?! How absurd! I am no ones bitch. Ughhh I can’t believe I’m talking to you.”

“Oh darling, that’s not what you told me last night at least.”

“Ughhh you ponies are hopeless, and Rarity you’re not acting yourself.”

“Oh, no hun I feel fine. I’m just happy that my beeyetch is back.” She replied with a seductive wink.

“Any ways I’m hungry and I’m going to Bon Bon’s since the Cakes are closed at this hour.”

At the mention of food Vinyl jumped and stood at attention. “You said food.” She said with a wide, face cracking grin.

With that the ponies walked off towards Bon Bon’s sweets and confectionery.

****************************

The group made the short walk to Bon Bon’s place. They noticed that Bon Bon was about to close and rushed to the door in hope that it wasn't locked. Sadly, it was. They all looked through the window with sad, longing faces, hoping that Bon Bon would see them. They heard a faint click and the door opened, revealing a cream colored pony with a curly, purple mane, having a pink stripe in it.

“Hello, can I help you?” Bon Bon asked in a somewhat creamy voice.

“Hey Bon Bon! Are you still open to friends?” Said Lyra.

“Well ya of course I’m always open to friends! Especially close ones like you guys. Oh and I see we have an extra friend with us tonight. What’s your name?” Said Bon Bon, pointing her hoof at Vinyl.

Vinyl hoof bumped the outstretched hoof from Bon Bon. “Name’s Vinyl but most ponies call me DJ PON-3.”

“Who?”

“Wait. You’ve never heard of me?”

“Nope, I don’t get out much. I have the shop and then that’s really it.”

“I see. Wow, you ponies live sheltered lives!”

“Anyways, we were wondering if we could get something to eat.” Octavia stated.

“Oh yes, I have the munchies!” Vinyl said, so excited that she almost sounded like a filly in a candy store.

Bon Bon let out a small giggle. “Ok I can probably fix something up.”

“Yay!” They all let out a consecutive cheer.

The group migrates to a booth and takes a seat with small talk here and there. After a while, Bon Bon comes out with a tray of assorted pastries, ranging from the good ol’ apple to the the delectable chocolate covered cream filled delights.

“Here you guys go.” She says. As she walks away Vinyl makes the mistake of peeking at Bon Bon’s flank. As Bon Bon rounds the corner, Vinyl’s head follows a little to much and she falls flat on her face, causing the whole group to laugh at her expense. Vinyl gets up with a blush on her face.

Before anything is said, Rarity pipes up. “So Vinyl, what did you think of the plot?”

Lyra lets out a snicker.

“Ummm… I, uhhh... it was nice.” Vinyl manges to say with a grin.

Everypony lets out a laugh. Except Octavia, who says “Do you always check out every mare you see?”

“Maybee.” Vinyl says with a grin. “But there’s something special about that mare and I can’t place my hoof on it.”

By this time Bon Bon comes out. “There! We are all cleaned and ready for tomorrow morning! I can hang with you guys for a bit.” She says as she takes a seat next to Vinyl.

The group sits at the table enjoying the pastries and each other’s small talk.

“So, I was wondering If you guys would like to get a drink after this.” Vinyl said joyfully. “I’ll pay.”

“I’m sorry darling, but Octavia and really need to get to bed.” Rarity said with a hint of sadness.

“Ya, I need to hit the hay as well.” Lyra said, yawning.

“Ok, it’s cool. Maybe later then.” Vinyl said, a bit saddened.

“I can go with you, only for maybe an hour or so, but I can go with you.” Bon Bon said cheerfully.

“Really? Great! I know just the place to go.” Vinyl said with a beaming smile.

“Great! Let me clean up this table and lock up the store. Then we can be on our way.”
With that, Bon Bon skillfully lift the tray and balanced it onto her back. She headed to the kitchen. A few moments later she came out. The rest of the group had already left, and said their good byes. All that was left was Vinyl.

“So where are we going?” Bon Bon asked curiously.

“You will see Bonie. You’ll see...”

“Did you just call me Bonie?”

“Yes I did I give all ponies that are special to me a nick name.”

“But we just met.”

“So?”

“Ok, I don’t mind. It works. So? Are we ready?”

“Yep. Let’s go.”

As Bon Bon and Vinyl arrive at a small bar outside of the town, they can hear music coming from inside.

“This place sounds cheery.” Bon Bon said with a smile.

“Heh ya it is. My dad and I go here all the time. When we can meet up that is.

“Oh, what does your dad do for a living?”

“Oh, this and that. But he mainly does black smithing.”

“Really? And yet you do music?”

“Yes. Well, he isn’t my real dad - he kinda adopted me after I was kicked out of my home.”

Bon Bon let out a gasp. “What? How old were you when that happened?”

“Ummmm, about six or seven. I don’t really know. My dad never told me my birthday and we definitely didn’t have parties.”

“O dear, that’s horrible.”

“Yea yea, but I met Blazing Inferno, which I thought was a pretty awesome name. I still do.”

“Wow, that is an interesting name.”

“Heh, ya he is a pretty interesting pegasus. But enough about my past for now. Let’s enjoy the night.”

*HAPPY DERPY DAY EVERYPONY GRAB A MUFFIAN AND GO NOM NOM NOM MMMMMMMM*

Uisce Tine Pub

A/N/ Some of this chapter is co written by Zack1006 also check out his story. Also check out this person shes pretty chill and cause I think she's cool Im goen to promote her story. Thanks for being cool and letting me use your OC Vinetion. Hope you enjoy this chapter. Have a fantastic day.

“This guy, he’s pretty cool. Hard to understand sometimes but he has some of the best whiskey in the area.” Vinyl said as she used her magic to open the door for Bon Bon. As Bon Bon walked through Vinyl took a long look at her flank. Vinyl continued to walk in with a smug grin on her face.

“Oi! Who’s these two fine lasses walken into my pub?” Said a burly brown earth pony stallion with a jet black mane and a glass of some brew on his flank. He had a build that would rival Big Mac. As the two mares walked into the pub, Bon Bon headed straight for the bar, but stopped suddenly. Vinyl, who was googling on Bon Bon’s flank, didn’t acknowledge the bartender and ran right into Bon Bon’s flank. Vinyl looked up to see why she was abruptly halted. She didn’t mind how she was stopped since it was a nice semi squishy flank of a really nice looking mare. While Vinyl was ogling over the mare in front of her, a stallion about the same height as Vinyl stood in front of Bon Bon with a smug grin on his face. The stallion had a burgundy mane, a same colored tail with a gold streak through it, and a blood red coat. In Vinyl’s daydream over Bon Bon, Vinyl missed what was said at first. She quickly tuned into the conversation. Was it Vinyl, or did the bar get a little warmer?

“Well well well, what do we have here? Two fine ladies in need of some company.” The mysterious stallion said with a confidant air around him. He wore a smug grin. Which, to Vinyl, reminded her of a pimp.

“Yeah, and who are you?” Vinyl asked in an annoyed manner.

The stallion baulked, not expecting such a sharp reply. “Ow! Such harshness! Is it really needed? For a gentle stallion as my self.”

“Ya Vinyl. No need to be rude.” Added Bon Bon.

Vinyl let out a snort. She recognized this guy, but can’t put her hoof on where she saw him before. Vinyl went down the long mental list of everypony she knew, but still couldn’t remember this one. So she gave in. “Fine.” But she would keep an eye on this guy.

“Great then, you wouldn't mind me sitting with you.” He took a seat on Bon Bon’s side.

“What?! No. This is a mare’s night out. Also, we don’t even know who you are.” Vinyl didn’t want anypony coming in between her and her eye candy.

“Why not, Vinyl? He seems like a nice stallion.” Bon Bon said with a look that made Vinyl’s heart skip a beat.

Vinyl let out a sigh. “Fine.” With that the stallion walks Bon Bon to a booth. Vinyl follows, not liking where this is going. The three then fell into conversation. Vinyl started to ease up on the guy. “humm maybe he’s not so bad after all.” Apparently his name was Flare or something like that; Vinyl wasn’t paying attention. Then Bon Bon excused herself to the mare’s room. Then, out of nowhere, Flare or whatever his name was looked Vinyl in the eye and said “Why are you here?”

Vinyl was taken back by the sudden question. “What do you mean? I was having a mare’s night out with a friend.”

“Oh, is that all? Or are you trying to get her into your fillyfooling ways?” He said in disgust. He emphasised ‘fillyfooling’ like it was the death pony himself.

“Who the buck are you callin’ a fillyfooler?!” Vinyl was annoyed and slightly irritated with this stallion’s change of tone.

“You heard me Scratch.”

“Scratch? How the buck did you know my last name? I never told you that! Who are you?”

The stallion lets out a small smile. He knew his cover was blown. This mare might remember him, she might not. It had been almost a year since he was back at this vary bar with this very same mare. He tried to get her in bed, but she wouldn’t have it. She then blow him off entirely. Her reasoning was that she wasn’t interested in stallions. This made him mad and almost got thrown out of the bar by the massive hunk of meat that is called a stallion behind the bar.

Then Vinyl’s face contorted in recognition. “You.” Vinyl said, her voice dripping with poison. “Are you trying to get her in bed to?”

“What if I am?” The stallion said with almost as much malice. The temperature in the room rose, making quite a few ponies sweat from the heat.

“If you think I will stand by and let that happen then you are wrong.”

“Oh really. Well, that’s all fine and dandy but here’s the thing: you wont be here when I make my move.” Vinyl saw a spark ignite in the stallion’s eyes.

Vinyl stared at him questioningly. “What the buck do you mean by that?” By this time the bartender had walked over.

“Oi! Is ther’ a problem here?” He asked.

“YES!” Vinyl and the stallion replied in unison. The temperature in the bar rose even more, as if it reacted to this stallion’s anger.

The bartender just stared at the two. “So what be the problem?”

Before Vinyl could reply, the stallion was quick with his silver tongue. “This mare was interrupting my marefriend’s and my night.”

The bartender raised his eyebrow questioningly. He had seen the two mares walk in together, not with this stallion.

“And my apologies for the confusion, good sir. This mare was just bringing my date here. It’s about time she left.”

Vinyl was red with fury. “Your marefriend?! That’s bull honkey and you know it!” At this point the whole bar was staring as the scene unfolded. The bartender needed to end this now.

“Vinyl will you come to the bar with me?” He asked politely.

“NO! I will not leave Bon Bon with this sniveling jackass!”

“Vinyl that wasn’t a suggestion.” Vinyl stared at this offensive jackmule of a stallion. “Now Vinyl.”

Vinyl finally gave in and slid out of the booth, following the bartender. “Oh an Vinyl, the name is Fire!” Fire called out with a smile at his victory. Suddenly the room’s temperature dropped in sync with Fire’s decreasing anger, which then degenerated into pure happiness. He was on the road to a good night (hopefully).

----at the bar---

“So what’s going on Vinyl?” The bartender says as he grabs a mug skillfully with his hooves and fills it with one of his special malts and lets it slide to Vinyl, who catches it in her telekinesis and takes a heavy swig. Vinyl always likes the malts that Shamrock made.

“It’s that same mule that tried to get me in bed around a year ago.” She said in annoyance.

“I see.” said Shamrock, giving Fire a hard look. He dislikes any stallion who tries to push his friends around. Especially this mare; she’s been through a whole lot of crap in her life. By this time Bon Bon had returned to the booth Fire was sitting at. Shamrock just kept an eye on the booth.

-------Back at the booth-------

“Hey Fire, where’s Vinyl?” Bon Bon asked.

“Oh she had to leave. Something about pie, I don’t know.”

Bon Bon looked at him sceptically. Something was up and she knew it. “Oh really? That’s strange, cause it was her that wanted to come here in the first place.”

“Well, you know how things can come up at the most unexpected times,” Fire said with a seductive smile.

Bon Bon, still not sure weather to believe Fire or not, took her seat opposite of him. “Ok soo...” there was an awkward silence between the two.

“Mind if I get you a drink?” Fire said, breaking the silence.

“Well I’m pretty sure that’s what I came for.” Bon Bon replied with a hint of sarcasm.

“Wait one second; I’ll get us something.” Fire smiled and trotted over to the bar.

Bon Bon is still sceptical as to why Vinyl left.

------The bar------

Damn! This one’s gettin’ hard to get! Fire thought. Maybe if I came on a bit differently... Damn Vinyl for ruining my night!
“Hello, sir. May I get two Autumn malts please?” Fire said once he reached the bar.

Shamrock looked over from one of his customers and acknowledged Fire. Shamrock then grabbed two tall glasses and filled them with the requested alcoholic beverage and slid it skillfully to Fire.

Fire caught the glasses with his hooves, and tossed a couple of bits towards Shamrock. Fire then skillfully slid the glasses onto his back and trotted over to Bon Bon, catching the attention of a few ponies.

“Your drink, madam.” Fire said in his best Manehatten accent and slid one of the drinks onto the table. He then proceeded to sit in the booth and drink his malt. Fire’s skill in high-class waiter skills impressed many ponies, including Bon Bon. Fire only grinned. Smooth, Fire. Smooth. He thought to himself.

“Wow! That was impressive Fire! Where did you learn to do that? I need to learn that for my shop.”

Fire smirked inwardly. Hook, line, and sink. This was going good. “Well, I’ve lived in many places with my friend, and she taught me the mannerisms of the highest class ponies in where ever we were at the time. She taught me that while we were in Manehatten. My friend and I, we were travelers of Equestria.

“Impressive.” Bon Bon said, entirely intrigued. “So what do you do for a living, Fire?”

“Mostly, I travel. Now that my friend and I don’t live together anymore, I’m free to journey to where ever I please. Except for Cloudsdale, that is.” Fire flashed his bare, wingless back. “What about you? You seem like the candy store type of pony, like that Pinkie Pie dame I met a few days ago.”

Bon Bon didn’t like that Fire just traveled. There was no security in that- no way of life. For her at least. “I see. Did Pinkie Pie throw you a party? Also, why haven’t you settled down?”

“Sure, isn’t she the party pony? Pinkie throws everypony a party. And I haven’t settled down yet because I’ve yet to find somepony that can get me to Cloudsdale, then I will finally settle down.”

“Cloudsdale, huh. Well just to let you know I have been to Cloudsdale thanks to Pinke Pie and Twilight. Also aren’t you worried about your financial security?”

“Well I’m good with finance. I keep this caravan with me where ever I go, and it’s got all I need in there. I got very rich very fast in life, and I’m pretty much set for life. As for Cloudsdale, well of course Pinkie helped you there, that pony can bend the laws of ponyphysics! But you said something about Twilight?”

“Yes, Twilight is Princess Celestia’s private student. So that means she Is really good with magic and can grant you temporary cloud walking abilities. Also how did you get rich so quickly?”

“Now there’s a back story that’s pretty long. Sure you want to hear it?”

“I just lost interest.”

“Ouch. How’s that?”

“The word long is not in my language right now.” Damn I wish Vinyl was here right now Bon Bon thought to herself.

“Ok, so long story short. There was this evil pony named Darkly Ravage that had control over this small island that’s a few month’s worth journey away from Equestria. And to answer your question, I found it by traveling overseas, something I’m not going to do again. So anyways, I fought him, defeated him, and apparently he had a life’s worth of bits in his tower, so I took them. You wonder how I defeated him?”

Bon Bon had lost interest about where names a pony something savage. And towards the end when Fire asked her a question she missed it. “What.” She perked up a bit to see if he would repeat the question.

“Okay, I see that you’ve lost interest, so I’m gonna try something different. Do you like fire? Not me Fire, but flames and stuff. Or do you fear it?”

Bon Bon looked at him and replies sarcastically “I cook with fire. So no I don’t fear it.”

Fire got out of his seat. “What about bonfires? The really huge ones? You fear them?” Fire began to develop a slow grin on his face.

“No.”

Fire’s grin widened and a spark ignited in his eyes. “Then watch this.” Fire instantly went up in flames, his mane and tail erupted with fire. The entire bar marveled at the burning pony, but nopony seemed to notice how extraordinarily hot it’d gotten.

Bon Bon looked annoyed. She hated ponies trying to show off in a non competition setting. She was more down to earth and humble. Looking around she noticed Vinyl sulking in the corner. She got up and walked over to her. Then Bon Bon noticed Shamrock with a bucket walking towards the fire pony showing off and dumped it on his head. “I think you should cool yer hot head.” Said Shamrock as he walked away.

Fire hung his head. Some ponies were hard to get too, others weren’t. Apparently Bon Bon was very hard to get. That, and Vinyl bucked up his night badly. Fire, steaming from the water, slowly trotted out of the bar. Bon Bon had said something about Twilight helping him. Maybe he’d go visit her.

After that little episode, Bon Bon had rejoined with Vinyl for their mare’s night off. Bon Bon even got to know Shamrock first hand. Both mares talked and drank the night away. Eventually the two mares head to Bon Bon’s home. Vinyl, in her current state, could not make it to her own home. She crashes on Bon Bon’s couch in the wee hours of the morning.

Also Happy birthday to Dark lightning

That one time

**** Hey guys we should pay our respects to this fallen broney Dark-Castle. Who fell to his lowest but did better by not committing the thoughts that his depression gave him. So I want you to go pat him on the back and show some love to a fellow broney.****

After the events of that night, Vinyl and Bon Bon had a mare’s night out once a week. Sometimes the other mares joined them, but most of the time it was just the two of them enjoying each other’s company. Over the course of that time Vinyl started to feel real affection for Bon Bon, not just the I wanna tap that that she felt for some of the more attractive mares, but a real relationship. She wanted to relate her true feelings for Bon Bon but didn’t want to ruin the friendship that she had going with her. Then one night Bon Bon asked about Vinyl’s parents and foalhood. This struck a sour note in Vinyl’s feelings. She didn’t want to remember those times. But if Vinyl wanted to have a relationship with this mare and not just a friendship. She deserved to know.

The two where sitting in their usual booth at the small but homily pub. They where enjoying each others company. Shamrock was tending to other regulars in the pub.Vinyl was enjoying a nice glass of winter malt when Bon Bon asked a question that Vinyl dreaded to hear.

“So Vinyl, I want to know more about you. What was your foalhood like?” In that instant Vinyl went from happy-go-lucky to grim and distant. Bon Bon knew she had hit a sour note, with the look on Vinyl’s face. “Ummm, you don’t have to-” was all Bon Bon got out before Vinyl lifted a hoof in protest.

“No. It’s probably something you should know if we’re going to hang out more.”

Bon Bon had to admit, she was kinda scared about what was about to be said.

Vinyl began with a sigh. “It all begins with my real parents. My dad was an abusive bastard.” Vinyl said with distaste. “Mom was always too weak to stand against him, so she just sided with him all the time.”

------Vinyl’s fillyhood-------

A stout, pink coated, and heavily built unicorn stallion with an electric blue mane with white streaks in it walked into the Scratch home. He noticed that there was no dinner on the table. “WHAT THE BUCK! WHERE IS MY DINNER YOU LAZY BAGS OF MEAT?!” The stallion bellowed, as he was already in a pissed off mood, and this just set him off even more. A unicorn mare with a white coat and matching white mane looked at the stallion with a pair of red irises, brimming with tears. She knew damn well what was going to happen next. She braced herself as she chose her next few words.

“I...umm...I’m sorry-” But before she could say any more a hoof the size of her face made contact with it. All the bracing and getting ready for the blow doesn’t mean squat once it actually happens. The mare was knocked against the wall and sprawled out on the floor. The stallion moved closer for another blow, but was stopped by a high, squeaky, filly voice coming from the stairs.

“STOP!” cried a filly that had an electric blue mane, a pure white coat and red irises. The stallion turned to the filly. The filly knew that this had been a mistake and would have to try to make up an excuse for this set of bruises and cuts.

“Vinyl, what did you say to me?” Before Vinyl could answer the stallion leaped at her and slammed his right hoof into her face with such speed that the filly didn't see it coming. She was knocked onto her back against the stairs. The filly quickly recovered and dove under the next blow from the stallion. Vinyl made a quick decision that she would rather be on her own then here. So while she was under the stallion, she got behind and was about to buck his genitals, but then the stallion quickly turned and knocked her to the side. He picked her up and knocked her down with a hoof as hard as he could. Vinyl was glad that nothing broke when she hit the ground. She got back up and was met with two hooves in the chest, sending her out the window. Noticing that this was a fantastic time to leave, she got up in a hurry and darted off away from home. Her dad was yelling something but she couldn’t hear him through the pounding that was going on in her ears. “I’m free. I’m finally free.” Vinyl thought to herself.

Vinyl ran as far and as fast as she could. Before she knew it she was in the middle of a forest far from the outskirts of Canterlot where her old home resided. No... not her home any more. She was not only bruised, cut, and hungry... she was now also homeless. Stranded in the middle of a forest with no food, shelter, or the means to acquire both. “Well, It’s great to know that I’m finally away from that snivelling bastard. I wish mom could get away. But you do what? You have to in order to survive I guess. Well, I better find a place for the night.” Unbeknown to Vinyl a being of fire was watching her every movement from above. “Well well well, looks like we have a lost little filly in my woods. Lets see what we can do.” The mysterious being said with a hint of a smile forming on its lips.

After a hour of searching Vinyl found a cave. “Finally, its about bucking time. It has been dark forever.” Vinyl turned to look out into the night sky. The moon and stars shined brightly as if they where watching her. Out of the corner of her eye she thought she saw a light, but when she looked in that direction there was no such thing. “I better get something going to stay warm since winter’s around the corner. Surprisingly its not that chilly out. I figured that I would be freezing by now. I also need to stop talking myself.” She said with a sigh. But just to the right of Vinyl the fiery being had some how merged with the earth, watching her every move intently.

“Humm... I guess she is lost. I’ll talk to her tonight. See whats up.”

*** Later that night ***

Vinyl sat around a makeshift fire that she had managed to create with twigs leaves and anything else that could burn. She was just staring out the cave’s mouth, wondering what she was going to do now. She couldn't work... she was barely nine. But before she could think any more she heard a voice. “Hello young one.” It seem to resonate around her but mostly coming from the fire.

“Great! I think I’m going insane now.”

A chuckle sounded out this time it was for sure coming from the fire. “No young one. You are not insane. Here. Let me show myself. I suggest you step back.” Vinyl got up and stepped back from the fire. With that the flame of the fire erupted into a flame that was easily five times bigger then the fire was originally. Vinyl raises her hoof to shield herself from the sudden surge of heat. Vinyl could vaguely see something pony shaped in the fire. Then just as the soon as the fire expanded the flame went out completely, but Vinyl couldn't tell because of the light and heat coming off the pony in front of her: An orange coated pony with flying goggles on his head. His mane and tail looked like real fire. They were even moving like one. “Hello Vinyl Scratch.”

Vinyl didn’t feel scared, just perplexed. She had no idea what she was staring at but she felt safe and secure around this pony. There were two things that really confused her and that was who and what he was. “Who are you?” Vinyl finally mange to get out. This pony looked happy... something Vinyl hasn’t felt in a long time.

The mysterious burning pony let out a chuckle. “My name is Blazing Inferno, Blaze for short, and before you ask I am an element. The element of earth and fire to be exact.” Vinyl just stared at him.

“A what now?”

Blaze just smiled. “Here. Come with me and I’ll show you.”

Vinyl was a bit unsure. Then she looked into the solid emerald eyes of Blaze and new that this choice, this leap of faith, could possibly be the best decision in her life.

Good times....ish

Vinyl took her leap of faith and went with Blaze. Blaze started to glow and to Viny’ls surprise he burst into flames. Some of the flames started to spread onto her. She winced, expecting sheer amounts of pain. But she only felt warmth. Vinyl watched as she became engulfed in flames. Then her world became a torrent of flames. She saw nothing but Blaze, and flames swirling all around them. Then the flames dissipated and she found herself in another cave, but this was different then the one she was in. This one was well lit and with common furnishings. But right now Vinyl wanted answers. She knew unicorns could do magic as well as alicorns, but pegasi don’t have magic.

“What are you?” Vinyl said again.

Blaze looks down at her and smiles. “I am a pony of course. A pegusus to be exact.”

“No you’re not. How can a pegusus perform magic like that?”

“Ahhhh, young one. There’s a lot you need to learn. You’re probably thinking that only unicorns and alicorns are the only beings that can use magic, but you’re wrong my dear. For every pony can use magic. Some just aren’t as obvious as others. Look at the pegasi. How do you think they can walk on clouds?”

“Ummmmm..... Magic? Vinyl said, a bit confused on where this was going.

“Yes, you are correct. Also earth ponies have a bit of magic to. You know what that is?”

“Ummmm, nope.” Vinyl said while scratching the back of her head and winced after felling the bruise that she acquired from earlier in the evening. Form fighting her dad.

Blaze noticed this. “Are you alright?”

“Humm... Oh.. ahh.... ya. Ya I’ll be fine. Just a bruise.”

“Ok. Well.. Anyways, the earth pony has their own magic, and that is their connection with the planet. There connection allows them to grow so efficiently. I could go into detail but that would become really boring, even for me.”

Vinyl was thankful for not having to listen to Blaze talk, however fascinating it was. She had other things she wanted to know. “Ok, that’s cool. But can you explain this?” She lifted her hoof to indicate Blaze’s mane and tail.

Blaze let out a chuckle. “Oh, yes, this! Well that’s simple, really. Sometimes every so often a special pony is born, allowing them access to a special kind of magic. Elemental magic. That’s what I am. I am the master of the element of fire, one of four elements. There’s fire, water air, and nature. Heh, we never could figure out the name of the last one so we just call it nature or life. Does this make any sense Vinyl?”

“Ummm yes I think I understand, but are there any others like you? Besides being masters, I mean.”

“Why yes there is actually. I don’t know about the other elements, but not too long ago a fire bearer was born. He can wield the element of fire. Not as much as me, but some. Now is there anything else Vinyl?”

“Yes, What am I doing here?” Vinyl questioned, raising a hoof to indicate the room around them.

“Ahhh yes. I’d like to show you your new home. Unless you don’t want to live here that is.” Blaze looked at her questioningly.

Vinyl was taken back; she had never met anyone willing to help her, much less give her anything other then her mom, and that was sparse as is, or was now. “Umm...I don’t know what to say I-”

“Oh, don’t worry about it Vinyl. Its perfectly fine. Besides, I get lonely here. Some company would be nice.” Blaze looked upon Vinyl to see what her reply would be.

“Hummm... I guess I can,seeing that I have nothing better to do. But before I do There’s two things.”

“Two things?”

“Yes two things.”

“Ok, sure. Shoot.”

“Ok. One: stop calling me young one. It makes me fell like a baby. Two: can I feel your head?”

Blaze let out a small laugh “Oh is that it? Ok that’s nothing. Although If you knew my real age there’s only a few ponies that can match me in that category. And as for my head, sure I guess.” Blaze laid down so Vinyl can feel his head.

Vinyl got up, stepped over, and stuck her hoof in the fire-like mane that seemed alive like a real fire. She half expected her hoof to burn; the other half she expected to feel nothing at all. Vinyl was surprised that she felt genuine hair. There were separate strands and everything. She could even comb it if she wanted to.”What the buck?” Vinyl said, bemused to what she was feeling on her hooves.

Blaze chuckled. “Not what you expected, is it?”

“No not at all.”

“My mane has the same properties as Celestia. But for us elements we can choose how our mane looks, be it normal or animated, as you can see. Lets show you where you’ll be staying. Shall we?”

“Ya sure why not.”

With that Blaze showed Vinyl around. He showed her where the kitchen was and how it all worked. It was an interesting set up, using the earth’s natural heat to cook the food. Then they went into this one hall, or tunnel, and came upon some stairs. Down the stairs were the bedrooms. There was more bedrooms then necessary, but Vinyl didn’t question why; she was just glad to have a place called home, where she wasn't beaten, yelled at, or left to fend for herself. Then there was another set of stairs leading down that took Blaze and Vinyl to a set of doors made of solid metal.

“Ok. Behind these doors is something you’d probably not go to at all unless you need to find me. It’s very hot and dangerous, OK? Behind these doors is where I do my smithing, as in metal working. I take my metal workings into the nearest town to sell, and if you want I can take you into town next time when I go in.”

With that we went back up and out a door that was well hidden on the outside. Then up on the hill there were a bunch of fruit trees among other plants of various vegetables. He had his own garden. He even had some kind of a vegetable that he called a halabenaro. When Vinyl tried to eat one Blaze stopped her he said. “I really don't think you would want to eat one of those as is.” Vinyl decided not to question why. So with that the tour was ended and Vinyl went to bed.

After that first night Vinyl went to bed genuinely happy. She had food, and a place to sleep. She had the best gift she could have received: a place to call home. After that day Vinyl grew happy with her new life. Days became months which became years. She started to call Blaze dad. Blaze was OK with this in fact he accepted whole hartedly. Sometimes Blaze would have to leave, and when he came back sometimes he would be bruised and battered. At first Vinyl was a little worried and tried to help, but Blaze wouldn’t let her and instead took a bath in lava, coming out perfectly fine. Then one day while Blaze and Vinyl where out in the forest for a hike they came across something that Vinyl wished she had never met in her entire life. It was the day that Vinyl meet her.

It was a bright and sunny day, with a slight cool breeze to help balance the warm celestial orb floating across the sky. Vinyl and Blaze where hiking in the forest behind the hill where their home was. As they came across a small lake, the two decided to stop for lunch. Blaze got out some sandwiches, and the two shared some idle conversation. They joked and jabbed at each other, they even got into a tickling war. Which Vinyl won of course. But what they didn't know
was that a dark leafy green pegusus with an aqua green and cyan blue mane was watching them. “I found you Blaze. I finally found you.” With that the mysterious pegasus took wing and flew to the group, landing just behind Blaze and Vinyl.

While Blaze was putting their leftover lunch in the saddle bags, he heard a soft landing and turned to face something he wished he would never have to face again.

Blazes last stand

“What the buck are you doing here, Vinetion! I thought I told you and the rest of the elements to buck off a long time ago. I wanted nothing to do with ya.”

“Oh come now, Blaze. I just want to talk.”

“Bull shit! What makes you think I would believe you?”

“Dad, what’s going on?” Vinyl said, hiding behind Blaze, fear etched across her face. She had never seen her father this upset.

“Vinyl, I want you to go back home. We are in her domain.” Blaze said with a calm, assertive voice.

Vinyl began to protest, but Blaze silenced her with a glance. She then made haste for the nearest bush and dove into it.

“What do you want, Vine?” He said, stomping his front right hoof. Magma started to seep up from the ground slowly, crawling up his legs.

“Oh, I'm just here for a friendly chat.” Vine said with a mischievous smile.

“Bull honkey. I want the truth.”

“Fine. I'm here to take you back, or kill you trying.”

“Fine. Then you’ll have to fight to the death. I am not going back to those power hungry fools.”

“You heretic! I will kill you myself!”

“Dare to try!”

By this time the magma had completely surrounded him, cooling to form obsidian armor, separating and forming around each limb and section of his body. Spikes formed atop his head and started to travel down his back. Demonic horns twisted into ram-like fashion. Plates formed around his face, with two black eye-holes letting forth an eerie blood-red glow. His hooves got a extra bit of reinforcement, having three one-inch claws sticking out of each hoof. Lava flowed in between the crevices of the plates.

“Fine!” Vinetion slammed both of her hooves into the ground. Vines shot out from her hooves, wrapping around her body to form a strong yet flexible armor, with long razor-sharp thorns sticking out of the shoulder plates. From her right shoulder, another vine plunged into the ground to pull out a five-foot curved blade.

Blaze smirked and stomped both of his hooves, igniting them in a torrent of deadly flame. With another stomp two boulders exploded out of the ground. With a roar the ground shook. Arms and legs began to come out of the boulders. They pushed the main part of the boulder out of the ground, and a head formed out of the top. Two rubies served as eyes and a massive maw opened up. The two beasts let out a ear-splitting roar.

Vinyl cringed at the noise that the beasts made, and just stared in awe as she watched the two pegasi get ready for battle.

Vine made the first move and charged with the sword bare, ready to slice through anything in her way. Pillars of rock began to jut out, trying to skewer the charging mare.

In Blaze’s peripheral vision he saw some kind of serpent moving along. It wasn't just any serpent; it was Vine’s pet dragon. The dragon was plant-based in nature, with similar powers of nature. He directed his two golems to distract the serpent, focusing himself back to the god of nature, mother Earth herself: Vinetion.

Vinetion was starting to get annoyed with all the pillars she had to dodge. She never thought she would have to face her lifelong friend like this, but he left her no choice. Something about protecting the innocents and holding up our original oath. What was our original oath? In her distracted mind she took a right when she should have taken a left and ran face first into a pillar. “Dammit, focus, he’s a traitor, not your friend anymore.” In a mild fit of rage she slammed her sword into the pillar, demolishing it in the process. She leapt over the rubble of the demolished pillar and lunged at Blaze, who skillfully stepped to the side and blocked with his right hoof. The blade just glanced off, burying itself into the ground below.

In one smooth motion Blaze turned on a dime and bucked, landing both rear hooves square into Vine’s face, sending her into a pillar behind her.

“Ow, I see that your hoof is still your dominant weapon. Well played. This will be harder than I thought.” She said, sneering.

Before Blaze could reply, Vine lunged at him with a hard left hook, then tackled him. They rolled on the ground, exchanging punches,kicks, and jabs. Blaze managed to give a heavy kick to Vine’s gut, sending her off him. She took to the air, and spread her wings, which emitted a burst of energy.

The next thing Blaze knew was that the forest was coming alive. Vines shoot at him from all angles, which he dodged with ease. The few vines that did touch him burned to ashes. He looked down, noticing that his golems getting ripped apart. He also saw Vinyl hugging a tree branch for dear life. It broke his heart to see his daughter so scared, and helpless. With a renewed vigour to protect her, he flew straight towards Vine. He plowed right into her. She landed in a dense bundle of clouds. He sat up, giving her a right then a left and repeat. With each hit from his hooves he left scorch marks from the flame emanating from his hooves. After a good number of hits, with Vine trying to block what she can, a vine sprouted from her armor and wrapped itself around Blaze’s neck and pulled him back. Vine dove off the cloud, pulling Blaze with her. The two headed straight for the ground below at break neck speeds. Vine pulled up, breaking the vine and sending Blaze to impact the ground with a heavy echoing. *THUD*

“You could have just came with me and none of this would have happened!” Vine yelled while watching the dust clear. She saw a shadow move in the clearing. “Are you serious! You can’t win. What are you fighting for?” The shadow appears to be coming straight towards her. “Oh no you don’t!” With a wave of her hoof vines shoot up towards Blaze and snare him in mid air. Flapping his wings desperately to get to Vine.

“Give up! What are you fighting for, that you’d give your life so willingly?” Vine said, trying to figure her old friend out.

“I fight for the innocent and the one I love!” Blaze yelled back, still struggling with the plants that were holding him back.

“The one you love? You mean that filly that called you dad? Who in their right mind would buck you? You'd probably burn them beyond recognition.”

“I bucked no one.”

“OOOOH I never imagined that you could impregnate yourself. OOOOH this is interesting!”

“What?! No, I adopted her.”

“You adopted her? Really? So you’ve changed. Settling down and trying to have a family. Well I have news for you: IT DOESN'T WORK FOR US LIKE THAT! We are the elements that made this world. We outlive all, except Celestia and Luna. We are not meant to be with normal ponies. Now where is that filly?”

“YOU FUCKING TOUCH HER AND I’LL TURN YOU TO ASH! YOU HEAR ME!!”

“Heh, right.” Vine scoffed.

With that Blaze’s eyes filled with pure energy and hate. What was left of his armor crumbled off him as he erupted in a torrent of flames so intense that it’d give the fires of hell a run for its money. The vines holding him back started to explode as pure energy rushed through them. A mass of burning plant matter fell to the earth below. Blaze slammed into Vine with enough force to shatter the very doors to the Canterlot castle. The two immortal pegasi plummet into the meadow not too far from where Vinyl hid.

A mesh of vines tried to lasso the flaming pony. While he exchanged punches with Vine, one of the vines managed to pull him off of Vine, who got up and quickly spun and delivered a solid buck to Blaze’s chest, sending him into the pond behind him. Steam erupted from where the submerged pony was, and the entire pond started to boil from the intense heat emanating from the fire based pony. Blaze tried to struggle out of the pond, being not one for water. With a wave of Vine’s hoof, multiple vines pulled the wet pony from the still boiling pond.

“Oh look who got himself all wet, I thought it was only us females that got wet.” Vine said with a smug grin.

“Go fuck yourself.” Blaze said in a quiet tone as he gasped for breath.

“Hmmm what was that? I didn’t quite catch you.”

“I said go fuck yourself.” Blaze says in a much firmer tone.

“Oh, I could try and see if I can figure out how to do that, but not right now. I need to figure out what I need to do with you.” She rubbed her hoof against her chin in thought. While Vine was distracted, Blaze reared up and slammed his hooves onto the ground, emitting a wave of lava and fire towards Vine, who noticed it a second too late. Before the blast hit her, a slithering form jumped in front of her, taking the full blast. Half of its body was turned to ash, the other into sizzling chunks of flesh and bone. Looking down, Vine realizes who it is and screamed.

“NOOOOOO! LILY!” Rage fills her mind. She commanded the vines to grab every part of Blaze they could. Then she had the stronger vines plunge into Blaze’s sides. Blood seeped around the vines as Blaze screamed in pain and agony. With one sweep of Vine’s hoof, the vines all pulled their own way all at once, effectively ripping the pony to shreds.

A faint scream of a filly came from a bush to Vine’s right as she stares at her familiar’s corpse. She looked up with a sad face, tears formed on the edge of her eyes for the loss of her beloved pet. She watched as the filly ran to where the pieces of flesh, bone and other bloody body parts lie. The filly ignored the bloody plants as they retreated back into the ground and forest. She just sat down, and stared at the head of the one that showed her true love. Vine just watched the filly, unsure of what she was doing. Then she heard a faint sound of sobbing, which grew in volume until there was no doubt the little filly was crying. It broke Vine’s heart to see such a young filly crying, having just watch her dad get ripped to shreds in front of her.

Vine started to think to herself. “That poor thing. He wouldn't have died if he just came with me. But then that would mean that he would have to abandon the filly.” Then, a surge of memories of the oath that she took all those years ago came back to her. Her oath to serve and protect the Innocent and the young, to never leave a friend behind, and last, but not least, protect the ones of the future. With that Vine starts to cry her eyes out, because with the death of Blaze she ruined the future of this little filly. “I need to help this filly.” She thought to herself.

Vine walked up to the crying filly, who was holding Blaze’s head to her chest. Vine stopped as she started to notice the other body parts burst into flames. Vinyl’s tears fell on Blaze’s head as she hugged it for dear life. Then the head erupted into flames. Vine just watched as the filly stood back and started to scream “no” over and over again, trying desperately to put out the flame with sand and dirt. But to no extent, she just watched as her former foster dad’s head burnt away to a pile of ashes in front of the crying filly. Vine stood back and watched as the rest of the ash blew away with the wind.

Vine inwardly knew that even if she tried to help the poor filly, she would only receive rebuke from her. So Vine turned and took wing; she needed to take care of her own wounds from the fight. She was lucky that she was in her field of power. If Blaze had had one bit of flame around him, she would have been destroyed. For being the element of fire you are also entitled to take the title ‘God of destruction’. Where Vine was the ‘Goddess of life’. The sun was setting as Vine flew from the crying filly, leaving her to wallow in her tears over her dead father.

Present day

Vinyl was crying her eyes out as she thought about her past. BonBon was gently cradling Vinyl’s head as the crying mare let out her pent up depression into BonBon’s chest. BonBon and Vinyl didn’t notice Shamrock as he walked up to their booth.

“Excuse me, but it’s an hour past closing. I let you stay cause I know Vinyl, but I kinda want to go to bed now.”

“Oh I’m so sorry for keeping you. Vinyl lets go. You can stay at my place tonight.”

Vinyl didn’t say a word. She slowly rose out of the booth with Bon Bon close behind. As the two were leaving Shamrock pulled Bon Bon off to the side.

“Did Vinyl tell you about what happened with Blaze?”

“Uhh, yeah she did.”

“I see. That would explain why she’s down. I think she has a thing for you.”

Bon Bon looked at Shamrock questioningly. “What do you mean?”

“Well for one you got her to open up to you. I was the only other person that knew about Blaze. Mainly because I was friends with Blaze for a long time, before he found her. Other then that, nopony knows about him, and if they asked about her past. She would just get up and leave without a word. So the fact that you not only got her to open up, but willingly, must mean that she respects you a lot.”

“Oh, that was a pretty dark past. It makes sense why she would hide it. Thanks for telling me Shamrock. I guess I’ll see you around but I better go. I don’t want to leave her any longer then I have.”

“Yes, that would be best. Goodbye Bon Bon, take care.”

With that, Bon Bon scurries off to comfort Vinyl and to take her home. As the to walk Vinyl just wallows in the pain of her past. While Bon Bon ponders on about what Shamrock had said. Does she really respect me enough to tell me about her past, or is there something deeper than that? As Bon Bon pondered this she didn’t know that Vinyl was looking at her questioningly.

“You ok Bonnie?” Vinyl said in a quiet, barely audible tone.

“Humm.... Oh yeah I am just thinking thats all.”

“Oh, is it about my dad?” a tear rolled down Vinyl’s face as she said this.

It pained Bon Bon to see this; Vinyl has become a dear friend to her since they met a couple of weeks ago. “Yes and no.” She said with a sigh.

Vinyl stopped and looked at her. “What do you mean?”

“Well I am curious as to why you told me about your past. It’s not something that you would just tell to anyone freely. So there must be something that you see in me that would permit you to tell me.”

In Vinyl’s mind she was surprised that Bon Bon had pieced it together so quickly. But why should she be, Bon Bon was a very smart mare and also one of the most cute ponies she had ever seen. But she couldn't tell her what she truly thought of her. No, she would probably get mad and Vinyl didn’t want to think about losing one of her best friends. “Umm... I don't know... I just....”

As Vinyl stumbled on what to say Bon Bon knew that it wasn’t just because she respected her. Sure, it could be that but by the way she acted there was something more then just respect. Bon Bon was starting to think and was wondering if Vinyl actually had feelings for her more than just friends. Before Bon Bon could get a answer, they had arrived at Bon Bon’s house. Vinyl hurried inside as to bypass the question entirely. She curled up on the couch, ready to get some sleep. Bon Bon looked at Vinyl with concerned eyes as she was about to go to her room for bed when an idea came to mind.

“Hey Vinyl.”

“Hmmm?”

“Why don’t you come sleep in the bed with me tonight?”

Vinyl was very shocked with this request, but then again, why would she decline? It meant more time with the one she liked. “Ya, sure.” Vinyl gets up and follows Bon Bon somberly still in her depression from earlier. Vinyl watches as Bon Bon gets in bed on one side while Vinyl gets in on the other side. As Vinyl was about to go to sleep she feels a shift in the bed and arms as they wrap around her neck. Vinyl fell asleep with a smile on her face, something that hadn't happened in a long time.

Pancakes

Vinyl woke up to the smell of pancakes and maple syrup. Oh what a heavenly smell. It's like...heavenly. Vinyl gets up and floats down the hall in mesmerized grace to the kitchen where she encounters a cream colored flank that had interrupted her vision. Especially with the wrapped candy as a cutie mark, it was like they're meant to be eye candy. Oh crap she's turning around enough staring. Vinyl quickly turns and finds deep interest in the color of the wall.

“Well good morning Vinyl did you sleep well?” Bon Bon says.

“Hmmm Oh yes I did actually.” Vinyl replies.

“That’s good. Well, I made pancakes. Would you like some?” Bon Bon turns her head to take a glance at Vinyl.

At the moment the word pancakes slipped from the lips of Bon Bon’s mouth, Vinyl’s face beamed with a massive smile and her tail wagged like she was part dog. Vinyl quickly and diligently took a seat at the table in anticipation of the delicacy soon to come. She stares in anticipation as Bon Bon slowly lathers the pancakes in syrup. Bon Bon picks up the plate with a stack of scrumptious pancakes upon it. As she walks over to Vinyl to deliver the delicate gold she turns the corner right in front of Vinyl but trips on a chair that was sticking out farther then it should have. Bon Bon sprawls forward, launching the pancakes at Vinyl who was too distracted by the beauty of Bon Bon to notice the pancakes that were flying at Vinyl’s face until it was too late.

*SPLAT*

The plate of pancakes slams into Vinyl’s face and slowly slides down, leaving behind a sticky mess. One stubborn pancake was staying behind mainly because it was skewered onto Vinyl’s horn. Bon Bon frantically gets up. “Oh sweet Celestia! I’m so sorry Vinyl! Here let me get you cleaned up.” But Vinyl was too distracted by the golden delicacies that now graced the floor. That is, she was until she felt a wet cloth rubbing across her face. After Bon Bon cleaned off Vinyl’s face, a drop of syrup dripped off her horn. Bon Bon was about to clean her horn with the cloth when she smiles, stricken with an idea. Vinyl gives her a quizzical look.

“Umm Bonie what are you smiling about?” she asks.

“Oh nothing... here let me clean your horn real quick.” Bon Bon leans in with her tongue hanging out. Vinyl’s eyes widen. The horn is one of the most sensitive parts of a unicorn.

Is this really happening? She thought to herself. This must be a dream it has to be. But as she thought that, she felt wet flesh make contact with her horn. Vinyl shudders with a wave of bliss. Ya... this is definitely real. Vinyl closes her eyes as Bon Bon delicately licks her horn repeatedly. Vinyl just sits back and enjoys the waves of bliss with each lick. Then she hears her name being called faintly. What the heck that sounds like Bon Bon but she’s licking my horn right now. Vinyl heard her name again but was still feeling the wet tongue on her horn.

Vinyl opens her eyes and sees the cream colored mare in front of her, still feeling a warm tongue being dragged across her horn. She hears her name called again in a soft angelic voice. Then she realizes that the mare in front of her is sideways. She looks up and shes Bon Bon trying to stifle a giggle with her hoof over her mouth. Then she feels another lick across her horn and the sound of purring. Wait, purring.... What the heck is going on? Vinyl reaches up and feels a furry lump that wasn't her mane. What the buck. Is this a cat?

“Ummm Bon Bon do you have cats?”

Bon Bon lets out a giggle. “Yes I do, but they're not mine. They’re a friends that I am watching for her until she gets back.”

“Oh I see. Ok then.”

“Ok, well, I came to see if you wanted breakfast?” Bon Bon asks.

Vinyl’s eyes widen with glee. “Hay yes.” Vinyl gets up in a flurry to get to the kitchen. Throwing the cat off during the abrupt movement. Bon Bon laughs at Vinyl’s antics as she walks to the kitchen. She finds Vinyl sitting at the table.

“So Vinyl how did you sleep?”

“Pretty good.”

“Good, what did you dream about?” Bon Bon asks with a smirk, having a vague idea about what was going on in Vinyl’s head when the cat was licking her. Vinyl lets out a blush so vibrant that if the lights went off it would be her own lamp. Bon Bon chuckles and goes back to cooking breakfast.

After Vinyl calmed down a bit she asks what Bon Bon was cooking. “Hey Bonie whatcha cooken?”

“Oh, something that you will love.”

Vinyl stares at her from the table. “And that is?”

Bon Bon turns with a smile on her face. “Pancakes.” Vinyl stares at Bon Bon with a blush spreading across her face. Bon Bon lets out a laugh at the embarrassment of Vinyl. Bon Bon makes breakfast and then the two sit and have a breakfast with no incidents like in the dream, just minor chit chat. The whole time Vinyl was trying to figure out why she acted so shyly when Bon Bon inquired about the dream. Does she know or... Is she just messing with me? The two finish up breakfast and Vinyl decides to head home to get ready for work later on in the evening.

The two went about their daily lives throughout the week meeting up with the rest of their friends. The two never had time as just the two of them. Bon Bon was becoming very curious as to what happened to Vinyl after she watched her dad being ripped apart. Throughout the week she would ask how she held it together after her dad died. Vinyl just said that she was pretty much forced to move on, so she said that she just put it behind her. Bon Bon wasn’t stupid though, she could tell that Vinyl had never moved on from it. When Vinyl told the story about her dad Bon Bon could tell that she was torn apart inside but hardly showed emotion on the outside, like she was wearing a mask. But she didn’t want to be pushy because she enjoyed her friendship with Vinyl. There was also the possibility of more coming out of this relationship. She had never thought of herself as a fillyfooler. She had put the puzzle together and determined that Vinyl most likely had feelings for her. But she wasn’t curtain and she didn’t want to ask yet, just in case the puzzle she put together was wrong.

Then one night Vinyl came to Bon Bon’s home around dinner time.

The Question??

Hey guys I apologize about a month wait. Finals hell marys ponies and fallout have gotten in the way of getting this done. So with out farther ado I give you chapter 8.

Vinyl was walking to Bon Bon’s house to see if she could catch a bit of her glorious cooking. After walking from her house Vinyl arrived at Bon Bon’s store, which was a two story building. The bottom served as the eatery with the dinning area and kitchen in the back. While the top was living quarters for Bon Bon. The store itself had already closed for the evening. Vinyl weaved her way through the tables and chairs that were a part of the patio that was in front of the store. Once Vinyl got to the front door she tried to see if it was locked. Finding that it was, she knocked forcefully, not knowing where the cream colored mare was. The door opened only partly. “I’m sorry but we are closed at this time, please...”

“Hey Bonnie its me Vinyl” The door swings open revealing Bon Bon at the door. Her face instantly brightened.

“Hi Vinyl. What are you doing here?” Bon Bon asked.

“Oh, you know I was in the neighborhood and I was-.” Before Vinyl could say more, she heard Bon Bon chuckle.

“Yes, Vinyl you can stay for dinner.” Vinyl’s face beamed with anticipation for the heaven-sent food that awaits her, and even better is the mare that she will be able to spend the time eating it with. Bon Bon didn’t know Vinyl’s true feelings yet. But Vinyl wanted to end that soon, she was going to confront Bon Bon tonight about her true feelings.

The night so far was going fairly well. Vinyl watched as Bon Bon fixed up dinner. She got a good angle for optimum curve viewing. The food was glorious. The chit chat was plentiful and the laughs were numerous. It was getting late at night and Vinyl had finally worked up the courage to tell Bon Bon her feelings. The two were laughing about another story from band camp that Vinyl had told sharing a chocolate mousse cake. It was more of that, ‘Bon Bon had a slice and Vinyl ate what was left.’

“Ya, the director was pretty upset that we snuck out. The worst part was that we woke up in a brothel.” Vinyl chuckled “We had no idea how we got there or what was going on. When we got back there were a couple of griffins hitting on the hobo, I don’t know why but they were.”

“Huh that's weird but really funny.” Bon Bon let out a laugh that to Vinyl was a gift from Celestia herself. “Change of subject. Are you going to the Summer Sun Celebration tomorrow?”

“Ya, I have no plans tomorrow.” Vinyl said while getting comfortable on the couch again.

“Great maybe we can go together.” Bon Bon said enthusiastically.

Vinyl knew that she should tell Bon Bon about her true feelings and now would be a good time. “You know what Bonie, that sounds awesome! Hey, I should get home cause we got to get up really early tomorrow.”

“Ya that would be a good Idea.” Bon Bon smiled with a yawn.

At the door, Vinyl turned to Bon Bon. “Hey Bonnie I have something to tell you.” Vinyl shuffled nervously, which Bon Bon noticed.

“Yes?”

“I ummm.. I think that you are a really great pony and friend.” Vinyl was scratching the back of her head.

Bon Bon smiles widely. “Why thank you Vinyl. I think you are a great friend as well.”

Vinyl smiled a little to this. By this time her courage had built up enough to make her move. She slowly started to lean forward. The two weren't far to begin with so it didn’t take long to reach the lips of Bon Bon. Who had a look of shock on her face; before she could register what happened Vinyl was already kissing her. Then Vinyl realized that Bon Bon wasn’t kissing back, it was her worst nightmare coming true. She pulled back and what she saw on Bon Bon’s face brought dread to her heart.

Bon Bon looks down with sad eyes. She didn’t want to hurt her friend. “I...I'm sorry Vinyl. I'm just not interested in mares that way.” As she said this she looks into Vinyl’s crimson eyes. The shades she normally wore sitting on top of her head. What Bon Bon saw broke her heart to no end. Vinyl looked at her with sad eyes, hurt and regret etched across her features. Before Bon Bon could say another word Vinyl had already turned and ran. As she turned her shades fell off her head landing a few feet from Bon Bon. “Vinyl! No wait!” She yelled to no avail as Vinyl was already out of earshot. “Oh, Vinyl.” Bon Bon went forward and delicately picked up the fallen shades and went back inside, sorrow filled her heart at what had just occurred.

Vinyl tears down the street. She can’t see where she is going threw the numerous tears streaming down her face. The normally calm, cool, and collected pony that couldn’t give a rats ass at what any other pony thought of her, was running, bawling her eyes out because one mare did not return her feelings. Running was all she could think about; run from your troubles. Run. Run from your pain. Run from the memories. Just run.

Vinyl finally collapsed by a lake, she had no idea where she was. All she knew was she was by some lake. She lay on her belly the smell of the earth fresh and clean. It was homely and welcoming. It reminded her of her dad. No, not her real dad. He was a piece of meat not worthy to be called nothing more than a bastard even that was too nice for what he did to Vinyl. No she was talking about the stallion that showed her real fatherly love. He was the only reason she had hope that not all stallions were heartless assholes. It wasn’t just her biological dad that set her off, no, it was the stallion that took advantage of her misery right after Blaze was killed by that thing. That freak of nature. Then again Blaze was, to the ones that actually knew he existed, classified as a freak of nature as well. Vinyl started to cry even more finally facing the fact that her dad is dead and has been for a while but she didn’t want to accept it. She wanted to run into his open arms and cry on his shoulder like she did when she was a filly but he has been dead for seven years.

Vinyl rolls over and looks up into the night sky she sees the moon with the head of a mare on it. ‘The mare on the moon’ is what she's been told about it but thats all she knows really. She didn’t deem it important enough to pay attention to it. She always liked the night, it was calm and soothing. Something she needed desperately for her brain, which was a jumbled mess of thoughts and emotions. She desperately wished she could go back in time and stop herself from kissing Bon Bon. She also wished she had a shoulder to cry on. She maybe one of the most popular ponies in the field of music but she never had someone that actually cared about her anymore then a one night stand, a fling.

Staring up into the night sky tears streaming down her eyes. “Oh, how could I be so stupid! Of course she wouldn’t be interested into mares anymore then just friends.” Vinyl said to herself. She let out a heavy sigh. “Now I’m all alone. What should I do?” Vinyl asked no one in particular but she did feel that someone was watching her. She really didn’t care if there was. “I have no one now.” Vinyl sighed to this statement and just layed there in her misery. Tears escaping her eyes.

Off in the trees a set of blood red eyes were watching the white unicorn mare as she wallowed in her sadness. “I’m sorry little one. If I knew what I know now I wouldn’t have stood up to Blaze. I miss him too. I wish I could be your shoulder but I know you will most likely never forgive me of what transpired 7 years ago.” With that the eyes turned towards the night sky. A twinkle on the rim of the moon and the fading of the mares face that has been on the moon for a millennia faded away. “So, It is time. Good night little one I hope things improve for you. I will be watching from a distance.” With that a olive green pegasus mare took wing into the night sky.

Bon Bon woke up early it was still dark outside. She got up groggily she needed to get ready for the celebration. “Hopefully Vinyl will be there. I need to talk to her.” Bon Bon made breakfast and ate hastily. It was a simple meal of oats n’ cream. She quickly made her way to the town center where the celebration was to be held. As she arrived the building and surrounding area was busy with ponies going to and fro. She couldn’t see the blue maned mare anywhere outside. Bon Bon walked in through the front door to see if Vinyl was inside. “Oh, Vinyl where are you.” With no sight of the unicorn. Bon Bon departs and heads to Vinyls home in hopes that she was there.

When Bon Bon arrived to Vinyl’s home the house look deserted. Bon Bon went to the door and gave a good solid knock. After a bit with no response Bon Bon tries the door finding it unlocked she steps inside. After fumbling with the wall she finds the switch. The room lights up and it looked undisturbed completely empty. Bon Bon went down the hall to Vinyl’s room. When she opened the door she found that it was empty. By the looks of it no pony or living being had been here in the last twenty-four hours. Bon Bon soon left the house closing the door behind her. She was starting to get concerned.

Bon Bon headed back to the celebration in hopes that maybe Vinyl made it there. As she was headed back she heard a commotion. Then a blue cloud with what looked like stars in it floating out the door of the town hall followed by a cyan pegasus with a rainbow mane. Bon Bon recognized her as Rainbow dash the local weather captain she was yelling something at the cloud. Bon Bon knew something was up and decided it might be better to go home and comeback later. She didn’t feel like dealing with anything right now she still felt bad about Vinyl. Bon Bon solemnly trots back home in the dark, all alone.

Somewhere deep in Tartarus.

A gargoyle sat patiently on a rock overlooking a lake of lava.The gargoyle was 12 feet from bottom of feet to top of his head. His wingspan was easily 7 feet for each wing. The gargoyle was lean but in no way weak. As the gargoyle sat there something was coming out of the lava. First a hoof which grabbed the ledge pulling the rest of the body out. The gargoyle got up and grabbed the hoof pulling the rest of the being out. It was a orange pegasus. With a fiery mane and tail. It had deep amber eyes that seemed animated like magma was flowing through them. A flaming ruby was his cutie mark.

“Good to see you master.” The Gargoyle said in a deep voice the gargoyle had the utmost respect for this pony.

“It’s good to be back Tantalus.” The pony said back in a voice that was calm, kind, but demanded respect. This pony was someone that you wanted on your side but could show compassion if needed. The two started to walk into the cave system that made up Tartarus.

“So what are you going to do know master?” Tantalus asked as they walked.

“Well it looks like I have two ponies I would like to see. It should be about the time for Nightmare moon's return I need to be there. I don’t fear that she will win I just want to see little Luna again its been a millenia. So she will be first.” The pony stated.

“Very good master and what do you want me to do till you return?”

“I want you to just stand on call go enjoy yourself. I hear you got yourself a mate while I was gone.”

“Why yes I did. Shes a good one too looks like I’ll be a dad in a couple months” Tantalus said with a beaming smile on his face. He was obviously very proud of where he was going with his family.

“Really? Thats great congrats my friend. Hope it turns out really well. Let me know when its born. I would like to be there.” By this time they were at the gates that lead into Tartarus. They passed the three headed dog Cerberus. “Hey Cerberus. Have you been a good dog?” The pony said while petting the massive dog. The dog wagged his massive tail sending gushing wind going the other way. “Good boy.”

“Oh one more thing master before you go I got your cloths and goggles.”

“Oh, thank you Tantalus.” The gargoyle hands the pegasus a leather jacket with a hood along with a set of flying goggles.Both sets were enchanted to withstand lava fire and extremely high temperatures. The pegasus put them on. “Ahhh good to be clothed again. Anyways I’m off.” With that the pegasus took wing and headed off into the distance the sun was already up. “Hmmm looks like Nightmare moon has been taken care of, should be to Canterlot in time for dinner.” He said to himself with a chuckle.

Canterlot castle after the events of nightmare moon as well as the celebration.

Luna sat by the fireplace in her room looking solemnly into the flames. Her room was pretty plain for the normally creative princess but that kinda happens when you have been banished for a millenia. With just a royal sized bed and basic furnishings. Wasn’t much but when she got a chance the room will become a masterpiece. Luna looked outside it was almost night time. As Luna sat in front of the fireplace the door began to open revealing regaled alicorn. Luna looks over to see her sister entering.

“Oh, Hi Tia.” There was sadness in Luna's voice.

“Hello Lulu. It’s so good to have you back I missed you and please stop hitting yourself over Nightmare moon. It wasn’t you. It was that spirit that did those things, not you.” As Celestia said this she laid down next to Luna wrapping a wing around her.

“It’s not only that. Although I do feel horrible that I caused harm to you and to my friends.” As Luna said this a tear escaped from her eyes as she said the last word her one true friend she had hurt the most. That friend she had actually loved to no extent. For he was always there for her. Always one to show compassion when no one else was around.

“Yes, well I would like to let you know that you have been forgiven a long time ago. I also think that Blaze has forgiven you as well.”

“You really think so Tia?” Luna said with hope on her face as she looked up at Celestia.

“Oh, Yes he would sit out on the balcony all night just staring up at you on the moon. Also I think he said something about how he loved you I don’t know, it was along time ago.”

When Luna heard this her heart soared at the realization that she might have had a lover, but then she remembered what Nightmare moon had done to Blaze while Celestia brought together the Elements of Harmony to banish the Nightmare and inevitably Luna in the process. “So at least he is still alive.”

“I truly don’t know.”

“What do you mean?”

“Well for one, about 3 months after you were banished he just up and left without a word. I also know that the other elements were upset with him for leaving them when he left the castle.”

“What happened to the elements?”

“Well Undine left back to her oceans. Vine back to the forest as for Blaze I don’t know.”

“Oh, Ok.” Luna looks down sadly at the fact that no one knew were Blaze was and that the other elements were upset with him.

“Hey cheer up I’m sure you will see him again its not like he’s dead or anything he is immortal after all. Anyway it is time to raise the moon I’ll take down the Sun if you want raise your moon again.”

“No thank you Tia maybe another night. You go sleep I’ll watch over the night.”

“Well if you get lonely you know where to find me.”

“Thanks Tia.” With that Celestia gets up and leaves to go to her room to lower the sun and raise the moon. But before she left she looks over her shoulder.

“I love you Lulu have a good night see you in the morning.”

“I will see you in the morning as well Tia.” She felt glad that Tia still loved her after what she did when Nightmare took over. But she couldn’t bring herself to tell her back so she just layed her head down and watched the fire.

As the night wore on Luna had kept the fire alive by gradually feeding logs to it. Outside the palace a rocket of flame was flying through the air headed straight towards Luna’s balcony. Before it got to close it burned into nothing making the guards that were watching it very confused.

There was a small flame just outside Luna's balcony door. As a eye that slightly glowed in the night emerged just past the sill of the window.. It was a deep ember that had an effect of being animated like flowing lava. The eye was attached to a pegasus stallion that had a fiery mane and tail. He wore a leather jacket with a hood and set of flying goggles strapped across his head.

“We shall meet soon dear Luna. How about right now.” With that the pony burned away into the night a grin adorned on his face.

Ok yes I know Luna isn't speaking Ye olde English and that is because well she doesn't in the first episode and I just don't like it. It doesn't go well with her. In my opinion.
