Chocolate

Chocolate had been hauling some hay bales, pulling them a cart that had been fastened to his saddle. He had been out in the sun for most of the day, and it showed. The huge stallion looked exhausted but his face showed determination to finish the days work. His ears perked as he heard the light trotting of approaching hooves. His golden gaze fell towards the path where he saw a familiar face headed his way. "S-Starshy?" The deep voiced equine asked aloud. Was it really her? He hadn't seen her since the snow storm incident at the old resort. A lot of things had happened back then. He had wondered what had happened to her since then since they had no way of keeping in contact while he had been working at the farm. He unfastened the large cart from his saddle as he trotted towards the gate, meeting her at the farm entrance. "Starshy? It really IS you." He said blinking in surprise. "What brings you here?" He asked pulling the gate open for her. "It has been a long time."

Crimson noticed the two mares had two different reactions to his flower gift, Starshy seemed to visibly stirred by it. Perhaps she was touched by his show of generosity? While Snowdream seemed to enjoy it. As they both agreed to cook and decorate, Crimson smiled and stomped his hooves in excitement. "Alright! This is going to be great, just you guys wait and see!" He said looking over his shoulder and spotting Night Song who was heading to her room. "I'll go get the other ponies and see if they'll come and join us. But I'll be right back once I'm done." He said before galloping after Night song. -------------------- Chocolate listened to her and said nothing, she had brought up many good points but he saw things differently then she did. "Don't say that, Blaze." He said when she admitted to not wanting her cutie mark. He used his large hoof to wipe from under her eyes and made her look up into his face. "It's not like you to be sad like this." He said sitting beside her. "I want to help you in whatever way I can. You may not have control of your powers now but just imagine what will happen when you do." He said letting her lean on him. "Your power could even be the key to getting all the snow outside melted so everypony can leave." -------------- "Hey you!" Crimson's voice called after her. Though he didn't realize it, he was coming after her pretty fast and it may have appeared he was chasing her. "Wait! I have something I want to ask you!" The unicorn said as he tried to catch up to her.

Crimson smiled and his horn started to glow a little as he levitated a couple of flowers and gently placed them into each of the mare's manes. "There, it's not much but this is the first part of my apology. I only hope I can redeem myself and make the other ponies like me as well..." He said thinking about the last thing he had done to them. "Well then, we had better get started! Which one of you two can cook? And who feels better decorating?" He asked looking at the slightly fixed but still damaged lobby. ------------ Chocolate eyed her silently thinking to himself. The large stallion quickly realized what might be bothering her and he stood in front of her path, blocking her way with his body. "Blaze." He said hoping to get her to speak honestly with him. "If this is about that other unicorn you shouldn't think too much about it." He said trying to cheer her up. "You told me that you had gotten your cutie mark as a result of a mishap that endangered those important to you." He said looking down into her eyes. "Sometimes there are things in our past we wish to forget but..." He put his hoof over her and rested his head on hers. "You can't escape your past can you?" He asked sadly.

Crimson smiled for the first time since he had been on the resort as the other mares agreed to spend sometime together. He brightened up and kicked his hooves up in excitement. "Alright! How about we go for a sleigh ride? You think they have those around here?" He asked. "I could pull it and..." He could see the disapproving look Starshy had for the idea of going back out into the cold. "...Or maybe we could set up a nice get together for everypony here. I could fix up the main lobby and decorate, somepony else could help make a meal for everypony, and such. What do you guys think?" Chocolate came out of the shower in a cloud of steam and smiled when he saw Blaze looking at him upside down. "Are you ready to go out for a little while? I know you've been wanting to stretch your wings." He said still drying his mane off. "...Oh, was there something you wanted to talk about first?

Crimson breathed out a sigh of relief when Snowdream agreed to head back to the resort with them. He could see the same look on Starshy's face as they all turned and trotted back through the snow. Crimson decided it would be best to stay quiet the remainder of the trip rather than try to talk to the emotionally distraught mares. It seemed all three of them had lost someone special to them. Maybe what they shared in common could bring them closer together as friends? Much like the cutie mark crusaders he had heard about sometime ago. Once they all arrived back at the resort the unicorn finally worked up the courage to speak to them again. "Would you guys like to hang out or something? I feel like I should make up for what I did to both of you."

As he walked through the halls and continued to speak while the mare stood on his back. "That unicorn you saw earlier, Crimson I believe. He was throwing a fit but I am not all too sure why." He explained. "Thankfully, the scene didn't escalate and it was resolved somewhat peacefully." Just as he neared the hall where his room was located her question manage to fluster the giant stallion. She always knew what to say to mess with him. He stopped in place as his face burned red and he looked up to her shushing her with his hoof, hoping no pony else was around to hear them. "T-that question is highly inappropriate!" He exclaimed taking her little joke seriously like he always did. It was only after he heard her giggle that he took a deep breath and calmed himself. There weren't many things that caused the calm stallion to fluster but his scent and taste were one of them. "...Very funny." He mumbled under his breath as he smiled inwardly. As they made it into his room, Blaze jumped off his back and flew to take a seat on the couch. He trotted past her and made way towards the bathroom. "Relax for a while, we can talk once I'm all cleaned up okay?" He said before leaving to the bathroom. --------------- Even though Starshy had left before he could finish his sentence, Crimson followed behind her hoping they could find Snowdream and bring her in. After running through the snow for a while he spotted something in the distance. "Is that her?" He asked not expecting an answer from Starshy. He knew she hated him but he hoped Snowdream didn't feel the same. Who was he kidding? The way he had acted was selfish and rude, he deserved to be shunned by both of them. Once they caught up to her he panted trying to catch his breath. "Listen, Snowdream was it?" He asked. "I'm... I'm... I'm sorry. I was acting foolish back there. I made a mule out of myself after you both tried to stop me from doing something stupid. And then I made you feel worse because I'm an idiot, a selfish idiot and I'm just sorry... please please forgive me and come back with us?"

Crimson flinched when her voice became very loud. He could only watch as the blue unicorn took off from the lobby possibly to grieve in peace. He held a hoof up about to stop her when she ran outside. He turned to Starshy hoping she understood what he had been saying. "I... I was just trying to help." Crimson said in a much softer tone. He gritted his teeth, no matter what he tried it always ended up in failure. He couldn't even talk to mares without upsetting them. Just then his eyes opened and he shook his head. "No! No no no no!" He began to yell in frustration. "I'm not going to mess this up too." He turned to Starshy and looked her in the eyes. "We have to go stop her before she gets lost out there." He said galloping to the doors. "You're her friend right? Come on! We can't just leave her out there like that, I have to apologize to her and make things right."

Crimson looked a bit perturbed when she mentioned her colt friend leaving her. She seemed very distraught and when he looked at her it was like looking into a mirror. Had he looked and sounded like this when he was throwing his fit of rage? "Hmph, well what happened to all that stuff you said to me?" He asked sounding a bit unintentionally rude. "Didn't you tell me how I was going about things wasn't going to fix it when I was rampaging?" He asked, seeming very cold to her plights but in reality he was trying to help her. "I lost someone too, someone very special to me that I thought would be with me forever but it she left me." "If my temper wasn't enough to bring her back what makes you think sitting here and crying will bring him back? How will that fix things and make you feel better?" He asked looking directly at her. "You should follow your own advice."

Chocolate silently watched as all the ponies began to separate and disperse after the situation had finally took care of itself. Crimson wasn't going to mess with anyone anymore it seemed. He was about to turn and leave to check on the others when he felt a bit of weight on his back. "Blaze?!" He asked caught off guard by her sudden appearance He must have gotten so worked up from his training routine that he had forgotten her in the gym area. "..I'm sorry I left you back there. I must have gotten more worked up than I thought." He said letting his deep voice trail. He could hear her mention about wanting to be rid of her own cutie mark and he looked back to her. "Blaze..." He said softly as he began to walk out of the room with her still perched on his back, taking her with him back to his room. "Let's go..." He was going to have to have a one on one discussion, to hopefully cheer her up in the only way he knew how, being honest with her. But first, he had to head back to shower, he was still heavy with the scent of chocolate while he was sweaty. -------------- Crimson was finally left alone as everypony left him as he had told them to. He opened his eyes and saw no pony around and lifted himself from the floor. The unicorn was now calm and rational, and he could see all the damage he had done to the resort. He lowered his head and his horn began to glow. Within minutes he had fixed what he could repair and set everything back to how it had been before his rampage. It was the least he could do after making a mule out of himself. The white and red unicorn began to head out, ready to leave the resort in shame but then noticed the same two mares from before (@@Fluttermoon,@@Snowdream, ). They both seemed very upset and one was in tears. At first, Crimson contemplated leaving without saying a word but then he took a deep breath and worked up all the courage and pride he could muster to approach them. He slowly and gingerly trotted towards them, "Hey..." He said trying to get their attention. He noticed they seemed very distant to him and his ears fell flat on his head, he knew he deserved it after what he had done. "I'm sorry for what I did to you." He said speaking to Snowdream at first then looked to Starshy as well. "Why are you both so sad?" He asked hoping the two would at least speak to him.

Crimson's eyes shifted from pony to pony as he remained on defensive. There was no doubt their words were reaching him, but it was hard to tell if the unicorn was going to yield or not. "..." He looked down to the floor. The unicorn shed a few more tears then wiped his muzzle with his hooves. "I didn't want to hurt anyone... I just wanted..." He said with a sniffle. "I'm... done." Finally the unicorn ceased levitating the silverware around his body as they all fell to the floor with a loud clatter. He kept his eyes to the floor and didn't say a word to anyone. He was ashamed of how he had acted and very upset with himself and the others still. He looked to everypony then shakily fell to the floor. "Just go away and leave me alone." He said defeated as he turned his head and laid on the floor.

@@MagicalStarRain,@@Fluttermoon, @@Snowdream, @@evilcorgi, He could feel the scared pegasus struggling and trying to pull away from him and he held onto her tighter with his hooves. "Who is this Mask you scream for?" He asked sounding even more agitated if such a thing was possible. "You won't be my special somepony?" He asked glaring back to the group of ponies trying to calm him down. Crimson looked a bit surprised to see another mare stand up to him. "Just go away! This doesn't concern you! You had your chance to be my special somepony but now it's too late, I choose this one." He said hugging her. The sudden voice made Crimson jump, accidentally letting his struggling hostage go. "Damn it!" He yelled making one more desperate grab for her but missed. There was nowhere left for the angry unicorn to go. He was surrounded by everypony and now his back was to the wall. Soon his anger and frustrations finally came out and he began to cry, though still showing aggression through his tears. "I'm so alone and worthless. No special somepony, no cutie mark... none of you could ever understand!" "So... you were like me?" Crimson seemed to listen to Starshy for a moment but then his moment of calmness didn't last long. "No you don't understand either!" Crimson's horn began to glow again and this time he levitated knives and forks around his body. "You all have somepony who is special to you and I have no pony! Not one!" His voice was coarse from all the yelling he had done and he was starting to shake. He was weakened now, having used a good portion of his magic in his fits of rage. "You're wrong, Crimson." Chocolate said deeply while stepping forward to join Starshy and Snowdream. "We all want to find that special somepony in our lives... If you are truly patient and believe in those around you, you will surely find that special somepony. But you can't continue doing this..." He said hoping some his words would help calm Crimson's rage.

Chocolate stopped once he entered the dining room with Snowdream behind him. He could see the waiter she had mentioned standing off with Crimson and decided to speak up as well trying to calm the situation down. "...Please calm down. No pony wants to fight you." Crimson's eyes shot over to the other ponies now entering the dining hall. He could see a large brown stallion, the same blue unicorn from before (@@Snowdream,), a white unicorn mare (@@Fluttermoon,), and a new mare (@@MagicalStarRain,) who was also a unicorn coming from the back entrance near him. "What the buck are you all looking at?! You want to stare at the blank flank?! Leave me alone!" The livid unicorn used his magic to throw some furniture at the now gathering group of ponies and retreated enough to where he was standing right beside Night Song. "She is going to be my special somepony!" Crimson yelled pulling Night Song close to his body as he glared to the rest of the group. "We're going to be happy together and no one can stop it. Nopony move or I'll... I'll..." He hesitated. Even though Crimson was angry and desperate he couldn't bring himself to hurt any mares. But he had taken a hostage. (OOC: Yikes so many names, I'll try to keep up with everyone.)

"As long as you aren't hurt that is all that matters to me." He said touching her side with his large hoof. Chocolate listened to Snowdream's explanation and looked around the slightly destroyed lobby, whoever this Crimson pony was must have been in some sort of raging fit. "Yes, let's go look for him before he hurts someone or does more damage to the resort." He said motioning for her to follow him. If the waiter that had helped Snowdream had gone after Crimson then he might need some help. "Let's hurry. I might need your help." He said galloping ahead towards the dining area, where more of a commotion could be heard. The sudden attack from Landen caused Crimson to momentarily lose control of the items he had been levitating. He stepped back as more energy blasts were shot towards his hoofs. "You no good, idiot!" He yelled looking for something else to chuck at the unicorn. He could see other ponies rushing into the dining area and he smirked. "If you all want to fight me then go right ahead! I'll make all you ponies sorry you crossed me!"

Crimson glared at the nameless waiter pony and then sneered, his horn was still glowing as a chair and table levitated behind him. "Me? Get hurt?" He laughed then his expression turned grim. "More like you'll get hurt. I've had just about enough of you and everypony else around here." He said grinding his teeth. "What's your name waiter boy?" He asked starting to slowly pace around the dining room with the furniture still levitating behind him. "I'd like to know the name of the pony I'm about to break these over." Just as the large brown stallion was about to check for the source of the disaster he felt a small embrace around his side. This of course caused him to freeze in place as he looked down to see a blue mare hugging him. He instantly recognized her, she was the same unicorn he had saved from the blizzard the day before. He blinked in surprise as a small blush formed on his muzzle. His long black mane falling over his shoulders as he looked down to her. "I remember you." He said calmly yet happy to see she was alright. "I'm happy to see you are okay." He said with a light smile. He listened to her explanation. Snow Dream seemed panicked but relieved to see a familiar face. Maybe that was why she had hugged him? Even still, he couldn't help but feel his heart beating in his chest. "A pony named Crimson did this?" He asked. "You're not hurt are you?" He asked looking her over to see if she was okay. (OOC: Going to head to sleep now. I'll post more once I get back.)

(OOC: Evilcorgi, you just missed Crimson's violent rage by a few minutes.) Crimson stormed off from the main lobby. His eyes filled with tears as he saw other ponies staring at him, he looked like a mess. "What the buck are you all looking at?!" He yelled as he entered the dining area. He wiped his red eyes with his hoof and then his horn began to glow again. This time he began to levitate various silverware and plates around the dining area and began to hurl them at the rest of the guests, making them all flee in fear. A sinister grin spread on the unicorn's face as he looked at the destruction he had caused then heard somepony behind him. He turned to see the same stallion that had stopped him from talking to Snow Dream and frowned. "What are you following me for? You want me to hurt you too?" He asked as his horn began to glow again. * * * Meanwhile elsewhere, Chocolate came out of the gym area with a towel wrapped around his large neck. He had worked up quite a sweat in there and he couldn't wait to go take a long bath. He didn't smell like sweat but the scent of chocolate was heavy on his body now. He entered into the main lobby and his golden eyes widened as he saw the mess that had been created. "...What on earth happened here?" He asked looking around to see if anypony had been hurt.

The pegasus seemed to tire himself out after the large destructive display, just as he was settling down another stallion appeared and confronted him. "Who are you supposed to be?" He turned to glare at Snow Dream and shook his head. "Are you her special somepony or something?" He asked stepping back. "I've had enough! I'm tired of all of you ponies! I won't forget this..." He stepped back once more then gave Snow Dream once last look before retreating away to the dining area.

I also enjoy the show. Though, I would admit I would love it much more if there was less focus on the humany aspects. Blythe is alright but I don't really care about her interactions with others as much as I do the pets. I would much rather watch a show dedicated 100% to the antics of the pets. I find myself enjoying all of the pets respectively but my favorites are Pepper, Zoe, and Penny Ling. Also why can't everyone just enjoy both MLP and LPS? Why does it always have to be a competition? They are both good shows in their own rights.

"Snow Dream huh?" He asked while pacing around her. "Well then, Snow Dream." He said standing beside her. "What do you say you be my very special somepony?" He asked noticing she was still terrified of him. "What is wrong with you?!" He yelled angrily. "Your just like all the others, those who stare at me like I'm sort of freak or something! Why? Because I don't have a cutie mark is that it?!" He angrily stomped his hoof in frustration. His horn began to glow a fierce red color and he began to levitate some furniture around the main lobby before throwing them around the room shattering windows and breaking some decorations in the room. "You want to fear me? Then fine! I'll give you a reason to!"

Crimson smiled and soon his horn ceased its glow. "That's better." He said stepping back, he was glad he wouldn't have to hurt her so long as she cooperated. He seemed to carry on the conversation as if they were friends even though he had been threatening a few moments earlier. Either he was insane or he didn't realize how frightening he was being. "My name is Crimson." He said while looking the blue mare over. "Why are you shaking?" He asked growing irritated with her behavior towards him. "I won't hurt you or anypony else if you do as I say." He said giving her an evil gaze. "What is your name?"

The unicorn's red eyes suddenly became wide as the mare began to panic. "Shhh! Stop yelling." He said as his face contorted. Soon his nice attitude towards her changed as he became more desperate to keep the situation under control. "Please, just listen to me!" He said as his voice began to change. He stomped his hoof down and his horn began to glow in a red aura. "I... said... be... QUIET!"

Crimson's red eyes eagerly scanned the main lobby for somepony. He appeared very livid and it only seemed to get worse as he spotted yet another couple passing by. Just then his expression lightened and he seemed to soften up as he noticed a blue mare unicorn making her way over to some couches. He started a fast trot towards her and stood in front of her, blocking her path as he smirked to her. "Hello there, aren't you you just the prettiest mare? How would you like to be my special somepony?" He asked stepping closer to her, in a very intimidating fashion. (OOC: Will be asleep for a while.)

As soon as the US version is announced I will start a group for us all to play together! Ponies in space~ Or Pony Star Online. :3 The big content update was the new areas and the final boss for Episode 1. Yes, they just finished episode 1 of PSO2 over in Japan and now they are supposedly working on Episode 2 as we speak. Meanwhile, we still haven't even gotten Episode 1 yet. PSU was not as good as it could have been but it was still fun with friends. Just look at this video and see how much PSO has changed in 2. That's just the Gunner class! It's incredible~

A white furred pegasus male with a dark red mane stood outside the resort calling after a mare who had just stormed away from him. "Wait! Please come back!" The pegasus yelled. "I can change! Please don't leave me!" He begged lowering his head as tears began to stream down his cheeks. "I don't want to be alone..." He whimpered as his hooves dug deep into the snow. The pegasus' name was Crimson, and he had just lost his very special somepony on their anniversary and the lose had hit him very hard. Soon his eyes closed and he shook for a moment. When he finally pulled himself together he slowly trudged into the main lobby and began to look around. The sight of the various couples began to upset him. Why had he lost his one true love? And they all had theirs? Why must he be the only one to suffer? His horn began to glow as a nearby couple walked close and levitated a pillow between the two lovers so they couldn't see one another. He stepped up to the mare and smiled deviously. "Hey there, my name is Crimson. Would you like to be my special somepony?" He asked before she gasped in fear then ran away from him. He once again stood alone in the main lobby and became even more angry as he searched for another mare. (OOC: Just wanted to introduce him to the scene. He'll be running into ponies soon I believe.)
