The moon hazed down on Regulas and Halo as they made there way to the home of Halo. Regulas could feel a clawing inside his stomach. Regulas always got this feeling when he was being watched. 'Should I tell Halo about how I think we are being watched or should I not... Hmm.... What would my father do? What would he say?' Regulas looked over at Halo who was right next to him.

"Miss Vex. I believe we are being watched." Halo glanced at him with annoyance. She had noticed it too. She had a suspicion that they weren't alone but now it was confirmed.

"Yes I feel it as well. Only where is our pursuer?" Regulas's eyes were darting around scanning the area for any sort of movements or any other types of oddities. Regulas's eyes locked onto a blue tail poking out of a bush. Regulas walked over and pulled a uniformed guard who had been watching them.

"Gale Drake! What are you doing here? Your patrol shift ended an hour ago." Gale stared bluntly at Regulas.

"I was ordered to stay by the commander. Commander Freeze told me to say and be on the look out for shady characters."

"Commander? He was promoted?" Gale nodded his head in response. "Have you been following us Gale?"

"No sir. I was making sure you on your guard. Also..." His eyes drift to Halo and he raises an eyebrow. "Who is this?" Regulas glanced at Halo and back at Gale.

"She's uh..."

"I'm his marefriend." Gale's jaw dropped. Regulas was as shocked as Gale was. He was about to say she was an old friend from school but he assumed that worked too.

"Well... I guess that means I owe you 300 bits man. I'll get them to you when you get back on duty."

"Uh... Yeah I guess so..." Regulas was blushing really hard. Halo had a amused smile on her face while Gale started to speak again.

"Anyway you should get indoors Frist Privet Moon. I am sure you are aware that there are more rebellion groups than STAR out there." Regulas nodded as Gale gave a salute and trotted back to his position. "Have a good night you two. Be safe."

Halo nudged Regulas in the neck with her muzzle. Regulas looked down and nodded. "Okay. We can go. Oh and thanks for the warning Gale." Regulas and Halo trotted off toward there destination once again.

"Your reaction was hilarious Regulas." Halo began to giggle loudly. Not quite loud enough for it to be a considered a laugh.

"Um... Yeah... Okay... Whatever you say Miss Vex." Halo stopped laughing immediately hearing hurt in his voice.

"Did... I make you... Uncomfortable? Or is it something you don't like to talk about?" Regulas lowered his head it almost touching the ground.

"I... I um... " Regulas closed his eyes for a few moments. "I don't want to talk about it. I will only do so if ordered."

Halo allowing herself to be taken by curiosity about it. "I order you to tell me." Regulas knew he didn't want to tell anypony else about his endeavors, but orders are orders.

With pain in his eyes he spoke a clear as he could. "At one time... I had a good friend. She was kind to me. More kind than anypony ever was to me. One day she asked me to her coltfriend. I accepted. I was blinded... Because I may not look it but I'm really good at Math and Chemistry. I helped her study all the time.... When she passed the test... She came up to me and dumped me... When I asked why she told me she was using me... To get a good grade... And ever since I never looked for companionship. I wish I could have recognized sooner but..... I never tried to recognize."

"Oh... I'm sorry Regulas." Halo said with regret.

"It's fine.... Just don't ask me about that again." Halo nodded and stopped in front of her house. "I'm going to go home now. Good evening miss Vex." Regulas turned to left when a hoof touched his shoulder. Regulas turned his head and looked at Halo.

"Regulas. Come inside." Regulas shook his head no and proceeded to talk another step. "That is an order, Regulas." Regulas turned around.

"No. Miss Vex I won't. I will not enter your home."

"Why? Why won't you?" Regulas lowered his head again.

"I don't wish to be a burden." Regulas tried to run around but was stopped by Halo's hoof. She forced him to look at her.

"You are not a burden, Regulas you are my guard and I want you to stay." Regulas sighed deeply and nodded.

"If you wish Miss Vex."

"Just call me Vex."
