A crack just big enough for the river to flood had opened up in the dam and the storm only made it worse. The dam was in no danger of bursting... for now but it was enough to cause the emergency services to at least survey the area and possibly reinforce the crack.

His eyes filled with purpose and he trotted towards his laundry room, throwing in the coat he was wearing and pulled another off of a folded stack. All the while he said, "I have to go somewhere. If you want to come along, that's fine, if not then I'm going to have to ask you to leave."

"but... Pegasi can't fly during storms and the my house's door is locked." Sparkle said. "so I guess I'll come with you" she walked into the laundry room and stood next to Sable keeping a close eye on her wing position so the lightning didn't shear them off or you know kill her...

He sighed, over his laundry basket before saying, "Well then," Turning to her, "I guess I have no other choice. You can stay here." He left the laundry room and approached the coat rack next to his front door an began to put on a clear plastic cover coat over him, flipping the hood over his head and adding, "There's things to drink and eat in the fridge, everything is open access here.

"T-thank-you I guess?" she said confused before heading back and curling up infront off the fire using her abnormally large wings to act as a blanket until the storm subsided. "good luck with what ever your doing and hopefully don't get struck by lightning.

He looked once more at her, then left. He pushed through the winds and rain, squinting against it and made the journey to the dam. He knew how he could help, he only hoped the crew had what he needed to do so. On his way he thought more about the mare he left in his home. Was she to be trusted? More than that, why was he so nervous around her...

He blocked out the thoughts once it became apparent. It wasn't that she was a mare, or pretty, but because she was his age too.

Pull your head out of your *** Rivers, you have more important things to worry about.

Sparkle looked up when she heard a knocking at the door. she answered it to see her mom there and she looked angry. "SPARKLE JASMINE SWORD!" she shouted "WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN!? YOUR FATHER AND I HAVE BEEN WORRIED SICK ABOUT YOU. A PEGASUS WITH YOUR WINGSPAN SHOULD NOT BE OUT IN A STORM LIKE THIS NOW COME HOME" she dragged Sparkle all the way across the street and into her house

Sable made it to his door about three hours later, the crack was sealed. He had used his knowledge of rocks and alchemy to transform a whole load of cement into chromium laced orthoclase feldspar when he had them fill the crack with it. Then he quickly solidified it. It was exhausting work, but it helped his business, his name, and well... He kind of lived here too. When he dragged his hooves through his door, he called out hoarsely, "I'm back, are you okay Sparkle?" He took off his plastic cover and jacket, which was soaked because of his sweat, and placed them both in the laundry basket. When he heard no answer, he tiredly and slowly checked around his home, looking for her and calling her name, and when he was sure he checked everywhere, even the basement, he began to panic. What if she went outside and got hurt.

   Next thing he knew, he galloped out the front door, leaving it wide open and was knocking on the door of her home. Somepony has to be here, dear Celestia don't tell me...

When Sparkles mother answered the door, he took  a breath to speak when she started lashing at him, however, unlike Sparkle, he was at ease speaking with adults, he saw Sparkle and gracefully responded, "Well, I was actually here to see if she made it home okay. When the storm was coming close, I invited her inside, its dangerous for pegasi to be outside during storms. However the dam cracked, and required my immediate attention. I told her she could stay until you made it back home." He had no problem coming up with a lie right on the spot, it wouldn't hurt in this situation. He raised his hoof in a nervous neck rub, adding, "But  I guess how you could see there being trouble in that. If you need them to, the local emergency and construction crews can vouch that I've been gone almost since the storm began." Then he lifted his hoof forward and nodded his head, with utter self confidence, "Oh, silly me, I don't believe we've met. Sable Rivers."

" Mom could I?" Sparkle said stepping in between the two of them. "YOU WERE REPAIRING THE BLOODY DAM!? THAT'S AWESOME! " Sparkle was exited about Sable's awesome levels before her mom interrupted her "Sparkle it's eleven at night either be quiet or please go to sleep."

He raised his hoof after she addressed her disdain, saying with a smile there, "Woah, woah, hold on there. I completely understand your concern and will take it into consideration when you speak to me." His eyebrows furrowed as his voice became more serious than pleasant, "However, I must ask you to respect my decisions. Don't condescend to me like I'm a child, I know the consequences of my actions, and given the fact I am gifted with independence this should show you that I will do as I very well please. There is no amount of appeasing or threatening me that will make that any different." Then cheery again, "I hope I've made myself so very very crystal clear."

"By mine and my husband's definition you are still a child once you become 18 will you become an adult until then..." the sort of argument was interrupted by Sparkle and her dad both yelling "SHUT-UP!" at the same time which lead to Sparkle's mom closing the door in Sable's face

Sable closed his eyes as the door did the same. Turning with a sigh and drudging back home. He didn't know why, but he was legitimately upset. He took a very long shower that night. Afterwards he played a little on his bass guitar, a new hobby of his. That, however didn't last too long, for he was far to exhausted to play at the moment. He chose sleep. And had a terrible time of it.

The next day it was snowing Sparkle looked outside in the morning to see that the street was covered in a thick layer of snow which even the snowplough was struggling to push through. The alarm clock rang out and Sparkle looked over to see that today was heartswarming eve. (yesterday was also in December). Sparkle decided to give Sable a visit before he got too involved in his science magic stuff...
