private All good things must come to an end.... But there is beauty in tragedy

[Blue The Pikachu 537]

"Oh, really? Well that sucks. Horribly." *He said, a little upset to know that Storm would never truly pass on.* "So why have that graveyard in the first place then? Wouldn't it be better to have their spirits move on?" *He asked, confused on why the place was made.*

[dusk shade 205]

"Well Dusk Shade isn't exactly what I'd call a saint... But at least this way the dead and the living relatives can see each other.... That's all I can figure... I dont really know what hoes through his head, but a thousand years of experience in magic tells me I don't want to try", she said looking solemn. "He scares me to be honest".

[Blue The Pikachu 537]

"Yeah, he's... something alright." *He said, not knowing what words could really describe the one thousand year old ancient stallion.* "Well, I guess he's just trying to let his relatives see each other, even after dying but hey, his family, his choices." *He added with a shrug.*

[dusk shade 205]

"Yeah if something is, psycho, killer, bully, emotionless, cryptic, morbid but underneath all of that, I guess he dies care about the family even I'd he dies have a really iffy way of showing it", she said quietly fiddling with her Horn nervously at this point.

[Blue The Pikachu 537]

"Wow. I guess Storm was right, most of her family is psychotic. Well, except for you, you seem perfectly normal." *He said, hoping he wouldn't pissed her off by calling her family psychotic.* "Uh, no offense, that's just what she told me." *He added with a sheepish smile.*

[dusk shade 205]

"No offense taken, Blue... I know they're mostly lunatics.... I mean, come on, like I told you, my uncle killed his brothers just for doing their jobs.... Its a hell is family to be a part of, especially when I don't have the same problems as the rest of my family do, like you said.... I'm the normal one, which actually in family, makes me the odd one out, I guess", she said with a nod.

[Blue The Pikachu 537]

"Well, glad to see one come out ok and not totally screwed up in some way." *He said with a chuckle, eating some more popcorn carefully, not wanting to start choking on the kernels again and sipped his cider.* "You're family seriously makes my family look like a bunch of saints."

[dusk shade 205]

"Well, you, each.. Wait, What was so wierd and screwed up about Storm? Besides the fact that she as completely insane and had anger issues like I've never seen again and her creepy Storm creation powers.... Never mind, you're right, my family's a bunch of freaks".

[Blue The Pikachu 537]

"Well her anger issues and her alco-" *He choked up on that word and felt tears in his eyes. He shook his head to clear his thoughts and sighed.* "Sorry, I can't even say that word anymore. Yeah, but I'm at least happy there's someone to talk to that hasn't gone nuts." *He continued.*

[dusk shade 205]

She nodded in silence, unsure of what else she could do to help him in this situation. She took off her saddlebags after realizing how uncomfortable wearing them on the couch was on her flank. "So you mentioned your family.... Since you know all about mine, could you maybe tell me a bit about yours"?

[Blue The Pikachu 537]

"Sure, get comfortable." *He said, taking string long drink of his cider and putting down the empty bottle.* "I grew up in Cloudsdale with my mother and my father and my brother Red, who was pretty much my opposite, but still got along. We were a normal family for the most part, doing family stuff. Red and I were close, did everything together. Hell, he helped me get my cutie mark for my love of gaming and competitive spirit. After a few years, Red hit the age to go to Flight School, and he's a stubborn one, so he refused, and argued with our parents, and eventually ended up running away in the middle of the night, not saying a word to any one. That's the last time I saw him. After he left, my parents marriage got really shaky, arguments that kept me up at night, the angry glares they shot at each other everyday, my mother's excessive drinking, then eventually divorce. After the divorce, my mother continued drinking, and it was really bad, had to bring her to the hospital for alcohol poisoning a few times. Eventually I got to the age of flight school age and went. Haven't seen any of my family since, my dad doesn't really like me anymore anyways, he though I was the cause of everything."

[dusk shade 205]

She looked at him and sighed. '' Wow, rough childhood, again I'm the odd one out, my childhood was great minus the whole murderer uncle thing, but your life growing up must have sulked not as bad as Storm's but still crummy just the same", she said feeling bad for asking.

[Blue The Pikachu 537]

*He just merely shrugged and ate some more popcorn.* "Meh, I used to look at my life and see how shitty it was, then once I heard about Storm's past, I look at it now and see that other's have had it worse off and am thankful that that was all I went through." *He said, grabbing another cider.*

[dusk shade 205]

"Um... Those ciders aren't alcoh-um.. HARD, are they? If they aren't then would it maybe be okay I'd I had one, instead of the water ice been drinking up till now", she asked as she had grown tired of the tastelesssness of the water. "So, do you realize that she probably told you less than half of her past"?

[Blue The Pikachu 537]

"Oh dear Celestia no! After the crap hard cider has given me, there's no way in hell that I would drink any of it." *He said, passing her a non alcoholic cider, popping it open with a wing.* "And probably, is there anything I should know about specifically?" *He asked, raising an eyebrow.*

[dusk shade 205]

"Thank you. I hate alcohol. I know that she told you about Dusk Shade, but obviously she never told you about the graveyard. I know she told you about Flash and probably told you about her.... Let's just say.... Active social life. Did she tell you how abusive he was, both physically and mentally, or about how I got her through school because she never went", she asked, just naming a couple of things.

[Blue The Pikachu 537]

"Oh, yeah she told me about how abused she was by that prick of an ex-coltfriend, and yes her very active social life was brought up once or twice." *He said, nodding in confirmation that he knew these things.* "She never told me how she made it through school, despite her not going I don't think." *He added.*

[dusk shade 205]

"She sort of threatened her friends to do her work with threats of electrocution after her parents died, she wasn't the Storm Strafe she was beforehand. Her Friends all left her at that point, just making things worse for her making her drinking worse and everything, so I staeted taking care of all of rm her schoolwork for her so she could a least finish school... Considering everything that had happened to her... ", she said simply

[Blue The Pikachu 537]

"Oh, that's right. She told me about having someone else do her work for her, that's how she go through school." *He said, sipping on his cider.* "Well, I certainly admire how you went and took care of her stuff for her. Who knows what would have happened if she didn't make it through."

[dusk shade 205]

"Well, I couldn't just sit there and let her get held back.... I mean, you were dating her, you know she had a lot of problems..... Like being so small, even for a Pegasus, for instance(This was mentioned a while back in the other roleplay) her drinking, her anger, I mean she had a lot going against her.... ''.

[Blue The Pikachu 537]

"Yeah, I guess it was really tough for her." *He said, eating more of the popcorn they had been eating for awhile and washing it down with more cider.* "I always wondered how she was Wonderbolt material, being such a small Pegasus." *He added with a content chuckle and sigh.*

[dusk shade 205]

"She worked really hard on her flying due to Flash's abuse about her being final not good enough for anypony or anything... And eventually would up meeting Spitfire through Rainbow Dash... And she asked her join after seeing her break ming the sound barrier", she answered quietly.

[Blue The Pikachu 537]

"Ah, her willingness to prove to everypony she was more then they thought. Loved that." *He said, sighing and smiling at the memories. But that's all they were memories. He felt the tears in his eyes forming. He looked quickly at the clock and saw it had gotten late. He wiped his eyes and sniffles a little.* "It's getting setting little late, but I think I need my sleep. You're welcome to stay if you want, but I'm heading off to bed. Good Night Silver." *He said, before going to his bedroom before his unbalanced emotions took over.*

[dusk shade 205]

She was a little nervous about sleeping in his house over night in his house, but quickly decided his vouch was comfortable enough to sleep on and did just that, lying sudden and falling quickly asleep on his couch, still a bit nervous to be doing so.

[Blue The Pikachu 537]

*When He entered his bedroom, he flew over to his bed and laid down, hugging his body pillow like he loved to do when he was feeling bad. He just sat there and let the tears flow from his face, burning letting out Danny noises from his mouth. He laid there, letting the tears out until he fell asleep an hour later.*
