open Life in Ponyville -Slice of life-

[Earth Saphina 35]

Saphina smiled to relief him. even though she a little worried about what they were talking about, she was glad that Sky came back at her, "It's okay. what were you talking about by the way? you two looked very serious". she finished her sandwich and sipped her tea, waiting for Sky.

(OOC: 1000th post everypony! yay! )

[Sky Warden 2,243]

((OOC: No Saphie. Technically that's the 1000th reply! ))

Sky Warden devoured his sandwich in one bite and munched it. He giggled and drunk his coffee. He giggled again, "Oh, nothing important. It's just his personality. He's a good pony even though he acts a bit strange".

[Earth Saphina 35]

(OOC: That was close XD but 1001 is a good number after all)

"Oh...okay" Saphina said as she glanced around the cafe. the same atmosphere filled the air again. she didn't say anything. instead of feeling bored by the silence, she felt comfortable. she took another sip and smiled a little to Sky.

[Sky Warden 2,243]

Sky saw Saphina smiling at him a little and he rose his eyebrow, "W-what? Is there something in my face?". He put his glass down and rubbed his face with his hoof. He knew he looked stupid, but he just couldn't stand to see that smile. He stole some glances to see if she was still looking at him or not while rubbing his face.

[Earth Saphina 35]

Saphina giggled as she watched Sky rubbing his face. it was too long for an ordinary pony to rub their face. "No no. your face is okay" she blushed a little, "I meant that there's nothing wrong on your face. you know...dirt, food, or something like that " she added a laugh to convince him.

After Iron Wing had left, Speedway continued around town, this time walking. She'd said that he should go to the cafe... but he didn't really feel like irritating the other diners.

 

Instead, the Pegasus headed away from the busy streets towards the grassy outskirts of Ponyville. He sat upon a small hill and watched the pollution-free clouds drift overhead.

"they're really easy-going ponies, I told them not to be too ritzy. though, my Dad might give you the father to coltfriend lecture, but he means well by it, after all, he's just trying to keep me from harm. Mom on the other hoof has always been approving, I bet she was jumping with joy when I sent that letter"

Hunter kissed him back on the cheek and placed her head back on his chest, she loved the sound of his heartbeat 

Rain felt his eyelids grow heavy, but he didn't want to fall asleep on hunter. "Hunter tell me more about your self...Like what you were like before moving here and stuff. Canterlot whats it like there?" Rains heart beat slowed considerably as his body relaxed trying to fall asleep.

@@Iron Wing,

 

The dragon was still giving his back to the mare on the cloud as he heard her greeting.  Confused and still having a small ill feeling of the reaction before he answered as closing the underground storage “Hello Miss” he said as in his mind other thoughts appeared “maybe Applejack was able to talk the fear out of her and she just came around to say hi”.

 

He sighed a little as those terrifying lessons of etiquette and good manners his mother gave him resounded on his memories “Don’t give her the cold back, aside this is Ponyville, She must be used to dragons right?” Slowly he turned around to face “the cloud” as mostly of its rider was behind it.

 

“Can I help you?” as he said it Colt noticed she was nervous even frightened and hoped she would not run away.

@@Colt,

 

Slowly she looked out of the cloud so that Blazes Head could be seen, and a bit nervous but also excited expression on her face she looked at the dragon. He had asked her if he could help her. "Well... i ... um... you could answer some questions if you don´t mind... because i want to know about you..." she asked him. She inhaled a lot of air to have enough breath to ask everything she wanted to know. She grinned and started to overwhelm the Dragon with questions. "Where do you come from, what do you eat, how high can you fly, can you breath fire, how do you taste like, do you like reading, what music do you hear, do you hunt your tail like a cat, do you like cats, why are you helping at the farm, how do ponies taste like, did you ever sleep on a cloud, have you ever eaten a cloud?"  she asked him, and if she wouldn´t have run out of breath she would ask a lot of more questions. Blaze was scared and happy at the same time. Since she lived in Canterlot all the time she didn´t see a dragon that often. To be true she never had seen one because most of the little dragons were within the academy.

[Colt 555]

Colt just open his eyes with great surprise, “She wants to know about me” that was new normally no one ever gives a buck about dragons just ran away, to such an extent that ponies know nothing about dragons.

 

Then the his astonishment just scaled as the mare took a deep, really deep breath,  and made a totally funny face as holding it in “Is she really going to do it… o celestia she is gona do it,…LETS DO IT” the dragon thoughts went fast as lightning.

 

The barrage of questions began and Colt took it like a challenge he would answer each one of them as fast as she could ask and there was no going back.

 

“A farm in the south, Fruits and cheese, 18300 hoof, yes, Roasty,yes, lots of kinds, NO! (lol wut), recently yes…” it was fun he was really having fun he even closed his eyes a couple of times and answered in an elegant way he lowered his hood without noticing and everypony could saw a little smile outlining on his face.

 

 The Apples that by that time were back with some of their products saw the “Battle of words” and chuckle. Then everything just ended.

 

He was telling his reason to be at the farm as the next question hit him. His voice cracked, his body felt a chill and his hoped shattered like a glass. “After all you are nothing more than a monster” a voice in his mind resounded.

 

The shock was such that he stood on his hind legs giving a step back, with a face full of confusion and fear, his eyes went to an empty expression and traveled many times to each one of the ponies around him. He closed his claw with anger and as turning around while opening his winds he cast out the answer.

 

“Why should I know?” a contrasting voice came from  the dragon and echo between the ponies as he dashed into the sky leaving nothing more than a gust of wind behind.

 

“I think you went too far there mam’” said Applejack  with a worried face.

 

“Nothing more than a pony eating monster”  was the idea inside Colt’s mind as he flew to the south east to that hill and its willow. 

[Damien Cremin 50]

Speedway glanced up in shock as... a dragon flew past. He watched it in the air for a bit before focusing. He'd be hitting a potentially rough city in just a day and a bit... to survive there, he'd have to clamp down on his personality. All this nervousness and uncertainty would have to go in place for an emotionless shell. It could work, but he'd need some practice first. 

 

And as fate would have it, he was right outside one if the softest towns he'd ever come across. As much as the idea seemed wrong to him...

Blazing Storm

“Why should I know?” a contrasting voice came from the dragon and echo between the ponies as he dashed into the sky leaving nothing more than a gust of wind behind.

 

"Wha... hey! Wait! I didn´t mean it like that!" Blaze shouted after the dragon. But she wouldn´t give up just like that and lifted herself into the air, following him to the willow. The dragon wasn´t too fast so Blaze had not much trouble to fly a bit closer. "Wait! I didn´t mean it the way you might think of!" she said with a raised and honest voice. No wonder i didn´t see any dragons until now, they run away all the time. They must be very shy! she thought. She was ready to explain everything to this creature and she was sorry if she did hurt him. Blaze knew that sometimes she said things before thinking, but this time it wasn´t a prank or a bad thought she had in mind while asking this question. But of course the dragon had to stop flying away from here like a chased rabbit and listen up. Perhaps he had a bad mood, but it was Blazings fault after all. She wouldn´t mind if the dragon yelled at her. But before she left the dragon alone she wanted to tell him about the real reason behind this question. After all, she had asked him how a dragon would taste too.

@@Iron Wing, 

 

Colt rushed down to the hill, landing the same scenery that would not change, that same spot 4 days ago he found peace at.  The sun was setting on the far east red colos painted the sky and mountains beyond Ponyville. The sight once more put his mind at ease as the mare landed behind him after. Listening to her voice in the air he just thought “What else do you want?, what else does that question can mean?” it was rude to say the least, he felt the burden of all those ponies in the past running away in panic, bucking rocks to his face, insulting and caling him a monster and worst.

 

He raised his voice as he felt the pegasus coming closer “Never, ok that’s your answer!”,  “I have never siege a castle, never burnt a town, never torch a royal guard, feast from cattle or ate a pony”! he stopped and turned his face now sadden eyes back to the mare his voice went back to a fading volume “I may look like one…but I’m not a monster”.

"its nothing much, really. a bunch of rich and famous ponies everything is so stressed up there, unlike here where its all relaxed. back then I was essentially a rich mans daughter, nearly every garden party I went to, somepony always wanted to set his son up with me, I was practically an object of value.then as I got a little older, I used to sneak out at night and thats when I met Vinyl. after a while, she had to come back to Ponyville so we said our goodbyes. i came here 2 years later, and you know the rest"

Hunter let out a yawn

"oh, maybe we should go to bed, I noticed you look tired too"

Blazing Storm landed near to the dragon and listened to his words. He also said he is not a monster, but this words also meant something else to her than just the meaning of the dragon. "I don´t think about you as a monster..." she started. "The question was not chosen with bad thoughts behind it... actually i wanted to cheer you up because... because while i was asking this questions, i nearly forgot that you are a dragon. I used to play pranks to other ponies, and i licked their fur to annoy them. That was everything behind that question... that is why i know how a pony tastes..." she said with weak smile and showing a bit of her tongue. But the words of Colt had touched some feeling within her too.

 

"Perhaps i am more a monster than you are..." she said with a sad face, now looking to the ground. "I have... hurt ponies... perhaps more than a monster ever would. I... i was just so fascinated that i was overwhelmed with questions about you." she said with a shaking voice that slowly got more lower from sentence to sentence. "This cutiemark reminds me about... the destruction i can cause... I´m... I´m... sorry if... sorry if i hurt... hurt you..." she stuttered, lifting into the air. Now she wanted a bed and a pillow to cry into. She lifted into the air again, flying into the direction of southern Ponyville. She hoped that Iron Wing had already returned. "I´m sorry... sorry..." she said while flying slowly away.

[Damien Cremin 50]

Speedway began to walk along the hill, still staring into the sky. A red Pegasus passed overhead, flying frantically and the occasional songbird flitted in the noon light. Speedway stumbled, and his gaze fell upon a clearing ahead.

 

"The dragon..." Speedway muttered in wonder. It looked dejected, sitting alone in the fading light, and Speedway thought briefly before heading down towards him along the hill. He had no idea what his aim was, yet he continued nevertheless.

Draco was flying through the sky as he noticed Blazing "Hey you okay?" Draco asked as he came close to her. He always did odd jobs around Ponyville when he wasn't being a courier. He was curious why she seemed so sad all of a sudden. Maybe he could help her and try to be her friend.

[Colt 555]

@@Iron Wing,

 

Colt watched into the mare’s eyes, she her words were filled with truth he could sense it coming for every corner of her soul.  The dragon just felt all of his ill feelings chilling down as the guilt of filling those orange colored eyes with tears made him speak with truth.

 

“Wait miss, I… ” he dashed in front of her, she didn’t knew how he as able to but he was there. “There is no monster that could feel sorry for what it have done”  he looked into her eyes,” “please allow me to wipe those tears, I was… stupid and selfish I shouldn’t have taken your words that way“. 

 

He extended his paw towards her inviting the mare to a second chance. “Let me start this over”

Vedana smiled at all three who arrived at sweet apple acres, he decided to mind their business and continue on with helping Applejack and Big mac with tending the farm. The Blind unicorn continued to listen carefully on their conversation, as he trotted to the farm unloading more and more apples.

"Hey you okay?"

 

"Yeah, i think i am ok..." she answered the red pegasus.

 

He extended his paw towards her inviting the mare to a second chance. “Let me start this over”

 

Blaze looked a bit suprised that the dragon came back again. He said something about starting this over. After wiping the tears out of her face the dragon extended his paw. She lend him a hoove with a careful smile. "Well... where to start?" she asked silently. She didn´t know what to do next. Should she tell the dragon why she thought she was a monster instead of him? Perhaps he wanted just a new start to know each other.

 

Iron Wing

 

The mission had been more difficult than expected and she flew at high speed back to Ponyville. It had taken her a couple of hours to get the information needed and her armor had some scratches from enemy fire. "They sure know how to use crossbows..." she said, but for her own luck she didn´t get injured after all. Some arrows still stuck on the left plating of some armor parts and on her saddlebag. Slowly it got evening and she flew above the Sweet Apple Acres, seeing some ponies that helped out at the farm. After a while she could also see Draco, Colt and ... Blazing Storm? Well, that meant nothing else than she had a visitor, but for now she didn´t have the time to greet her. Blaze knew where Iron was living so she prepared for landing at the watchtower. It didn´t take long to get back to Ponyville and after she landed at the plattform, she got everything ready to eat something and preparing the guest rooms once more.

Draco smiled as he saw Colt "Hey Colt how are you this fine afternoon?" Draco asked with a friendly tone. He looked at Blazing slightly "Are you sure your okay Blazing?" Draco asked once more then he just shut up mouth so he doesn't get kicked out of the sky.

“Not being the smartest of myself, Mr. Omally” he answered to the currier with a shameful look on his face

 

@@Iron Wing, 

 

The Dragon bowed a little after the mare lend him her hoof guiding her slowly down to the ground, to land over one of the many bridges that connect the roads on the town outskirts.

 

“My name is Colt ” he said while descending Colt was still confused and deeply ashamed for the tears spent by the pegasus so he took the responsibility of his acts just took the first step to amend his mistakes.

 

“Im sorry I took it the wrong way” the dragon apologized “Im not used to get the friendly company of others and…” he just paused for a second having some bad memories in mind “… your words made me recall things others have said and done in the past”. The both were landing over the bridge and he took a sit at the. “Its not your fault is just that I… just had my past me now, Im deeply sorry that my stuff brought everything to this”, he said looking into her orange eyes.

Rain frowned."It sounds dreadful there... But better than where I lived in Cloudsdale..."Rain yawned in compliance. "Uhg yawns are so contagious... Yeah I think we should too, we have a long day ahead of us." Rain got up and lead Hunter to the bedroom. He hopped into the bed and patted the area of the bed next to him.

"Colt I told you to just calle me Draco," Draco said as he looked at the dragon "Why don't you two come by my home and I'll pour you some hard cider. We could relax finally," Draco offered the two. He looked to Blazing "Or do you two not drink alchohal," Draco said.

"Well... it´s ok i think..." she answered. "Nice to meet you Colt. My name is Blazing Storm and i am here in Ponyville to visit an old friend of mine... and to write a flight magazine." she told him. "But the last time i looked she wasn´t at home. I guess she is on a patrol or something like that. Draco here is actually my courier, taking the magazines to the customers who paid for it." she continued. "I have experienced some bad events too that are running circles in my memories." She pointed at her cutie mark, a fire breathing and burning tornado. "It has something to do with IT... But i try not to think about this and to be a happy face pony. It make a lot of things easier..."  she explained, speaking about the cutie mark like some kind of curse.

 

"Why don't you two come by my home and I'll pour you some hard cider. We could relax finally,"

 

Blaze sat down and looked at Draco. "Well, i don´t need hard cider to relax Draco, but thanks for the offer. If i would need something like that i let you know. Oh, tomorrow there is a very important delivery to Canterlot. I can give you the details after i got into Iron´s tower to get the package." she said.
