THe Story Of Lights and Fire

-Chapter 2-

Blinding lights and pain. I hurt everywhere, I tried to sit up only to find that I was strapped down. I started to struggle to break free of the bonds holding me “Let me out of here or I will rip off your heads and shit down your necks” I yelled. A nurse walked in “Calm down you are safe here” she had a bluish gray coat and a light blue mane and tail. “Where am I?” I asked while lying back down. “You mam are now in the hospital of New Ponyville”. “What how did I get here?”.I tried to sit up only to find that my head was strapped to the table I was on. “And why am I strapped down?”. “Well if you would give me time to answer I will explain everything. First when you ran up to our gate and said you needed medical attention we rushed you in after stripping you of your weapons and what little armor you had on. And last but not least you are restrained because you kept having seizures.”. “Well I am awake now so can you un strap me please?”. The nurse came over and undid the ties holding me in place. I slowly sat up as my head started to spin. I lost what was left of my lunch over the side of the hospital bed I was sitting on. I felt weird the room had a kind of liquefied feel like I was surrounded by syrup. I giggled and moved my hooves through the air in random directions. The nurse laughed and came over to me “Those would be the pain meds we put you on. Don’t worry they will wear off soon.” “Oh, ok” I stood up as the world started to spin around me so I quickly sat back down hitting the metal table a little hard. “Maybe you should rest for a little while, come on” the nurse then threw one of my legs over her shoulder and walked me to a bed in the clinic.Once the nurse had me laying down and covered with blankets she walked out just as a pegasus stallion walked in. “How are you today Mrs……..” he pulled out a clipboard and flipped through it “Mrs. Lights is it? Well nice to meet you I’m Doctor Blaze, but you can just call me Fire.”. He held out a hoof in greeting, but when I tried to shake it I kept missing. “Sorry Doc but these are some pretty strong drugs.”. “No need to be sorry I agree.”. In my pill educed stupor I said for some reason “Hey Doc your pretty good looking.”. He turned around and looked at me, then blushed a little, then continued out of the room. I lay there in the bed staring at the celling and huming to myself. I started to drift off to sleep when Fire came into the room. “Well Mrs Lights it looks like you are free to go. There is a lodge where you can stay until you get back on your feet, right down the road.”. I tried to get up and out of bed , but I fell over and lay there laughing on the ground. “Whats so funny” asked Fire as he helped me back to my hoofs. “Nothing im just laughing at how weird my life has turned out.”. “If you don’t mind me being curious, I would like to get to know you better.”. “Sure I’ll go down to the Lodge and get a room. You can come by after work ok?”. “Sounds like a plan.” Fire said while smiling like a retard. Fire then walked out of the room with a little skip to his step. I walked out side and was blinded by the light. As soon as my eyes adjusted I say a whole town put together with no more than steel siding, steel shingles, plywood, car parts, and the occasional other piece of junk. But the whole town was encased in some sort of weird shell mad of random scrap meta, (With the acception of the top part) It was like a gigantic bowl. Just as I started to wander around a shorter haired mare came up to me and said “Welcome to Appolusa reborn, im the mayor of this here town, and boy howdy did you give us a scare when yall collapsed on our door step.”. She had a heavy accent I would have to guess it was southern, or at least judging by the books I had read in Vau, (With the acception of the top part) It was like a gigantic bowl. Just as I started to wander around a shoter haired mare came up to me and said “Welcome to Appolusa reborn, im the mayor of this here town, and boy howdy did you give us a scare when yall collapsed on our door step.”. She had a heavy accent I would have to gues it was southern, or at least judging by the books I had read in Vault 73. “ Nice to meet you Misses Mayor nut I really must find a place to stay the night.”. “Well If you'd like y'all can stay at my place?”. It was more a question than a statement. “I would be honored, and do you by chance have a place that I can clean up?” “ Eeeeeeyup right down in my house.” “Thank you I am expecting a very………close guest to come over tonight”. I lied about us being close. I know I was just indulging in my fantasies but I can be very convincing. “Well sure well go back and get yall nice and perty for your special guest.”. With that she walked away, and I followed. We walked down the dirt street, past a multitude of buildings that, in the pre war era had to be beautiful. But since then had decayed and rotted under the elements. When we finally stopped it was at a building that was admitably better than the rest, but only under the fact that it wasn’t held together with steel sididing. The mayor waved her hoof over the building “Well here yad be, she aint much but shes what I call home.”. “Its just fine. Its a lot better than the other buildings.”. The mayor then walked up to a glowing terminal on the wall next to the door. The terminal was hidden well, it was in a locked telephone box with an “Out of Order” sighn on it. “One second I just gotta turn off them turrets.”. I sighed, throughout my stay in the wasteland I hadn’t had one good experience with turrets. After the mayor finished with the terminal, she closed the box and locked it. “Oh yes missis mayor I had almost forgot to ask if you would send a letter to Doctor Fire telling him to meet me here tonight?” it was more of a question than a request. “Well sure thing little miss Lights.”. The mayor went up to the door and held it open. I walked past her slowly, being very cautious near the turrets. Even though they were off I was always careful near them. 200 years of continuous use cant be good for them. The mayor walked in and closed the door behind herself. “Welcome to my shack, she aint much but she’s better than most.”. Oh its quite alright deary its beautiful.”. “Thank ya kindly. Well im gonna go send that message to the Doc. Your room is down the hall, take a left, and last door on the right.”. I nodded and started to walk down to my room. While walking I started singing “Highway to Hell” ironic right? As I tuned a corner to get to my room there was a turret on the ceiling. It suddenly swiveled to point at me. I dove onto the ground as it started shooting me. I shot a ball of paralyzing magic at it. It just nicked its hull, but that was just enough. The turret exploded in a white and blue shower of sparks. I lay on the ground bleeding. “HELP” I yelled in no specific direction. I couldn’t move my muscles had locked up from shock. I blacked out.
