(Need a Speedy post, Nightfall. I posted 2 pages back I think)

 

Maven nodded, following Nightfall. She looked tired, and if she wasn't mistaken, the pony in the headwrap was a mare, which would mean that it probably wasn't Jack, unless he'd has recent sex-changing surgery, or prefermed some sort of magic that removed his manhood. She supposed it was possible, but still unlikely.

 

(Why does she think that?)

 

The unicorn unwrapped the rags on his head. He was unmistakably Jack, but he also looked much older, matching the voice he had been speaking in. His skin was wrinkled and baggy. When he walked through the door to Nightfall's office, he was back to his normal, younger form.

[Nightfall 3,950]

Sapphire looked at Speedy, and seemed like she was about to kiss her, when an ill timed, annoying, unplanned, unwelcome radio call came in. She let out a frustrated stamp and magically disassembled the radio, sending Wits a magigram stating now was an extremely bad time.

 

Speedy realized what was going on suddenly. She didn't understand magigrams, but she probably thought it had to do with timing. She leaned in herself and kissed Sapphire. And although she had thought about using colts to gain a social status, that plan never came to be; this was her first kiss, and she thoroughly enjoyed it.

Nightfall sat back in a comfy office chair.

"Ok, so you came her to warn us about that K guy... But why did you come in disguised? Do you think we can't trust you? Honestly, Jack, you know me, you can trust me."

He leaned back. After this, he planned to go out and find some demons to fight.

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

(Because I distinctly remember you calling him a mare. Which is also why I made Sapphire propose a love interest.)

 

Sapphire sighed, "Speedy, we're needed back at the station, but- Mmm..." Speedy was kissing her. It took her a moment to realize this,d and she kissed her back, her horn shooting of little mini fireworks. When the kiss broke, she turned red, grinning, and started to bounce away, bouncing twice as fast but going the same speed.

 

Maven was with Nightfall.

Maven was with Nightfall.

 

Speedy trotted after Sapphire, her skirt bobbing, her face red. Yet she was smiling in a shy way. She felt.. Different. Maybe it was Sapphire's presence, or maybe it was the fact that she had just had her first kiss. Her first kiss was with a mare, no less; she was a bit surprised at that.

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

Sapphire had a sudden realization, "Uhh, Speedy, it might look better if you go in first. Wits, he doesn't really, er... Trust you," she said that last bit softly, but she was thinking, And you won't notice me glaring at the ponies staring at your flank. You're very very tight flank. That is impolite to stare at. So I should look away from it. Now. She looked at her hooves.

"I have my reasons and they hold no importance to you." said Jack. "And you have to trust when I tell you that bringing the kid is our only option. I know Karasu. He gave us this invitation because deep down he wants to be stopped. He knows he's wrong, but he keeps going because he's already gone too far. Go with Wits foolish plan and you'll give him a reason to ignore his instincts! He was nearly as strong as Rando ten years ago. Imagine the devastation he could unleash now!"

"Sure..."

Speedy walked into the station. She felt just a little bit weird. Her short skirt kept bobbing wherever she walked. She tried moving a little bit slower than she had when she was walking back to the station. She noticed that a lot of ponies were staring at her, her flank, and er gun, and that most were looking away suddenly as both walked by.

 

"I have my reasons and they hold no importance to you." said Jack. "And you have to trust when I tell you that bringing the kid is our only option. I know Karasu. He gave us this invitation because deep down he wants to be stopped. He knows he's wrong, but he keeps going because he's already gone too far.

"Great. So, what, he isn't a demon, but this is a chance to practice in using my demon energy so I can be strong enough to kill you? How long have you known about this, Jack? And why do you keep keeping things from me until the last second? This isn't a good way to train me..."

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

Maven massaged Nightfall's shoulders in an attempt to calm him down, "Nightfall, it's because Jack doesn't exactly have all of his social skills. Jack is much more used to working alone. Right Jack?" That's why you weren't there when your partner crashed that raid, isn't it. You were working alone.

 

Sapphire glared at ponies who stared to long. They quickly found themselves looking away as the silly, bouncy pony turned serious. Sapphire's glare was a powerful tool; it could make anypony uncomfortable. They made it to the station and she discreetly used magic to make the skirt longer.

Speedy felt like her skirt was just a bit longer. But she kept looking around simply because she was a bit nervous. She jumped up, flying just a bit she felt for her gun in an attempt to discreetly check her skirt. It was a bit longer... Huh...

 

Nightfall relaxed a bit, leaning back.

"Ahhh... Thanks..."

He found his eyes closing. He opened them again.

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

"Wits says you're to guard the police station when we leave, and cleared you for firing a machine gun. Now Speedy, remember, in to aim, out to shout." She happily bounced up to Wits's office and came in, "Hey Wits," she said bouncing in place, "What can I do for you?"

 

Maven smiled faintly, "Glad there's somepony I can still help," she says. My music hardly effects anypony anymore; nopony ever has time to listen.

Speedy stood there for a bit, nervous. She looked around, then followed Sapphire into the office. She opened her mouth to say something, but shut it again, waiting her turn to talk.

 

"Are you kidding? Your music is brilliant. You can still help so many ponies. Your powers are great... They're better than you think..."

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

Sapphire smiled, Look, she's quiet! See, I CAN be a good mentor Wits. Earlier today she would've insulted you. No she's beautiful AND tempered. And mine. All mine. She blushed and hugged herself, then turned her ears, Maven is sad, Nightfall is worried, Jack is here, Cherry is upset, Patches is angry, Den is resigned, Wits is incredulous AND angry, and Speedy is slightly confused. This is about Den's note, isn't it. No wait, it's about the note on the brick. The one with the list of names. "I've got brow-nies!" *She pulled out a platefull.

 

Maven sighed, "Nightfall, when I play on the streets, I use the same ammount of energy that I used to. But sometimes ponies barely even smile! When I first got my powers, the ponies of this town would grinned and hummed the tune under there breath. Villains scoff when I pull out my flute, and I ussually have to play the trap-song just for them to notice that something is happening! No, the only pony still listening to my music is you."

"But it works, Maven. You know it does. For all I know, you could be singing something under your breath to relax me right now."

 

Speedy just stood there. She wanted a brownie, but she didn't want to interrupt anything. She almost spoke up, but decided it was better if she just kept her mouth shut.

"We only have two days to convince Wits not to go through with his plan and stop Karasu by the rules he gave us." Said Jack, "You understand, yes? We have no other option that won't result in more death. Wits can't listen to me. Nightfall, you are going to have to be the one to convince him to play by Karasu's rules."

"Right, follow the rules of a criminal and send a fifteen year old into a potential massive battle area. Sounds legit."

He closed his eyes and sighed.

"If K is really as bad as you say he is, and you don't lie about the strengths of enemies, then I guess-"

He halted. Should he send Maven away..?

"- We need to have Patches come. It's either we send him in with us, or millions die..."

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

Maven nodded, sighing, "Den has already reached this conclusion. You can practically read it on his face. Cherry is willing to trust him, but Wits, Wits is fighting this. Perhaps he doesn't understand, or maybe he just feels like we're encroaching his athority, but right now, he's hotter than Sapphire's stove."

"Right. But we're going to have to change his mind. Jack is right. We need Patches to come."

He looked at her.

"Hey, I need to talk to you alone for a moment, Maven. Something isnt quite right with you, and hasn't been for sometime. Come on, if you want."

He got up and walked out towards a resting room. He only thought of that as a place to talk to her.

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

"Uhh, okay?" she said, unsure. Did I just lose my last fan? Is Nightfall dumping me? Or is he going to finnally tell me what's making him depressed all the time. If it's that damn demon, I swear I'll make Sapphire do her recording spell and make it constantly play in his ears!

When the two were alone, he looked her in the eye for a moment.

"Look, Maven... Listen... I always love your music, but... But recently, you haven't been playing much music. And you have always been a bit depressed. You sigh too much. Tell me, please- what is wrong?"

He grabbed her shoulders and stood there.

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

She looked into his eyes, and saw he wanted the truth. Oh. This'll be good. She looked down on her hooves and closed her eyes, then began to hum, and then she looked up again and sang:

 

 

"I gave up everything for my music. But lately, I've been seeing more and more ponies give up on music. It makes me very very sad, Nightfall. More sad than you know. The other day, I actually got kicked off a sidewalk for playing my cello infront of a storefront. And he was getting more customers!"

He stood there for a moment.

"I- I'm sorry. I'm so sorry, Maven. I'll let you know that I enjoy music and will enjoy yours for a long time to come. Just please, don't give up on us just yet. If you give up your music, and the police force, I don't-"

He paused a moment.

"- I don't know how I'll cope."

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

"Probably the same way I'll cope if you leave the force, Nightfall. Because I don't know how I would cope with you gone, either," she smiles faintly. Idiot, I'm not giving up on music. Ponies are, but I will never ever give up on my music. Her bass cleff cutiemark started standing out, and she slid her uniform back down.

"Thanks..."

He blushed a bit at her remark, and when she slid her uniform back down.

"We should probably get back to Wits and Jack, yes? We don't want Jack to think we're 'slacking,' and Wits is overloaded and might need our help."

He stood there, though, as if he wasn't obeying what he just said.

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

Maven nodded, "Right, that seems like an excellent idea," but she stood there staring at him. She examined him; he was taller than him, but not to much. He had a few scars and nicks, but overal he was handsom. Plus, he was Nightfall, which had it's own little catagory in her heart.

He blushed a bit. He thought he wanted to leave, but he hadn't quite thought it all out. When he entered the resting room and turned around, Maven had stopped in the doorway. Now, he couldn't get out without pushing past her, and he didn't want to push Maven. Besides, he was looking at Maven, which distracted him.

"Um... Excuse me..."
