//well it's half past 0ne in't morning so I'll be on another couple of replies\\

"Nah, I like it up here, and I have fruit in my travel bag if we get hungry. Besides, it's still early by the clock up there. How about we catch up a bit? I've missed your hugs so much" He smiles, nuzzling into her.

"Alright if you insist." she said pulling him closer to her, feeling his warmth against her body. Hop then again locked lips with him. She never wanted to lose him again. She broke the kiss and smiled at him, then laid her head on his shoulder and snuggled close. 

[Descant 1,898]

Flame took the bottle. "Grab an extra just in case Tag wants one." He said, Locking the door and pushing the window open. Just then the sound of hooves could be heard just outside. "Oh dear." The door handle rattled and an angry voice could be heard outside. "BUCK...NOT AGAIN, WHOEVER IS IN THERE, YOU'RE DEAD."

 

 

 

"You really are the sweetest pony I know." She smiled and took a bite of her soup. "I remember the first time I went to a carnival...My friend and I snuck in, we had a blast until we were caught." 

(Took a bite of soup?)

 

Rag froze. The ringmaster was just one excuse away from booting her, due to her antics when they had visited Baltimare. She glanced at Flame, who was right next to the window. She couldn't see anypony outside it from where she stood. "Get it open," she whispered, mortified. She grabbed a third bottle, and moved over to him, hoping that Night Cloud had lost his key...

 

Tag blushed slightly at the compliment, but couldn't help grinning. "Now, this is a story I'm going to want to hear sometime. My first trip to the carnival was boring compared to yours."

Fuse heard some yelling coming from the other room, and ran out there, only to see the agent from earlier, along with Rag and Flame...

 

*Well... They helped me, I'll help them.*

 

"What the... Aw, damn it Flame! My plans are ruined! Now, I can't drink any of the stupid agency's cid... Oh, hey there..."

Umbra smiled, wrapping his wings slowly around her, hugging her close to his silk-like fur. His hooves felt nice against her wings as he stroked them. He kissed her neck gently taking her in. Gods how he'd missed her, all that time with her, he was never going anywhere without her again.

@@Marathon,

//Edit; going to have to go now, it's 4 in the morning and I want at least a bit of sleep. Night\\

Umbra purred happily, grateful for the one piece of heaven he held close in his hooves. He really was going to have to sort out this sleeping problem, it always got in the way of everyt- ZZzzzZZZzzzzZzzzZzzzZZzzzzZZZzzZzzZ

Flame nodded and pushed the window open, He helped Rag climb through then followed. Just as he closed the window the door at the front of the kitchen burst open and Night Cloud came running in. Flame chuckled and he ran off towards his trailer, Gesturing for Rag to follow.

 

 

"The only reason I have tons of story's when I was a kid is because my parents...Weren't being parents, So I did as much as I could to try to get their attention." She smiled and Sipped. her tea.

Rag was laughing under her breath as she followed Flame. She wasn't entirely sure where he was taking her, and was slightly surprised when she was led to his trailer. Not that she wouldn't go in with him. She made towards the door, assuming that was where he was headed.

 

Tag was unsure whether this subject was a touchy one or not, as Di rarely ever talked about her parents. So... He merely sipped his tea, and waited to see if she would continue talking. What she described seemed to describe his and Rag's situation with their parents almost perfectly.

Flame pushed open the door too his trailer and trotted in. "Come on in, Make yourself at home." He said, Grabbing a corkscrew and pulling the cork out of the top of the apple cider bottle, He then held it out for Rag to take.

 

 

"They were grumpy old fartbags...Anyway, This soup is delicious." She said, sipping some more. "Would you like to try some Tag ?" She asked.

[Undyne 1,483]

((OOC: You know you guys had just ditched Fuse just for him to be yelled out... Right?))

 

The ringleader turned to Fuse, steaming mad. "So, it was YOU! YOU'RE GOING TO BE IN A BIG PILE OF SHIT!" He grabbed Fuse by his horn... Bad mistake. Fuse cried out in pain, as the bone abnormally began to slide out.... Fuse couldn't handle it anymore. He broke from the ringleader's grip, and pinned him to the floor.

 

"Never... Grab... My horn... Again... You understand?"

 

As he was talking, his horn grew white again, but now with sparks flying out. His hoof was deep into the ringmaster's windpipe, close to ending his life.

 

"I SAID DO YOU UNDERSTAND?!?"

 

At that moment, his horn shot out a bolt, randomly hitting the wall, exploding into nothing but dust... A part of the wall came crashing down towards them. Fuse managed to get out of the way, but the ringmaster... Didn't make it.

 

Fuse ran out to a small part of the woods, hiding...

 

((Now, the ringmaster is dead. Due to Fuse gaining anger until his horn reacted.))

Rag followed Flame into his trailer. It was obvious the Cirque valued him highly, or else, that he had furbished the trailer with his own belongings. Either way, it was much nicer than the one she shared with her brother... "If you insist." She sat on his couch, and happily accepted the cider he offered to her.

 

Tag smiled. "Gladly." He took his own spoon, and took a spoonful of Diamond's soup. He gulped it down, eyes twinkling. "Wow. That's amazing!"

Diamond nodded. "I gotta get this recipe." She muttered. "So, How is your sister ?" She asked, Smiling.

Rag drank deeply from her glass of cider. When she emerged, about a third of the bottle was gone. She looked at it in wonder. "This stuff is amazing! And the ringmaster keeps it all to himself?" She couldn't believe it. It was a disgrace.

She looked at Flame happily when he sat down next to her. "I felt so alive." And it was true. She had felt more alive than she had in a while. Sure... Pulling stunts like that with Tag were fun, but... They were getting old. It wasn't the stunt that had woken her up from the deep sleep she had been in since the accident; it was Flame Dancer himself that had done it. Her eyes twinkled, the small way these thoughts showed as she gazed at him.

 

Tag grinned, somewhat sadly. He had hoped she would mention Rag. "She's been doing better. Things are starting to look up for her again. My hopes are high; she's finally pulling her life back together. And I think it's about time for you to meet her, now that I think about it." It was true, they hadn't met. Tag was surprised Rag hadn't realised he was seeing somepony sooner; she really had been out of it since the accident.

(OOC: Flame Dancer, I'll PM you the details about what happened so Diamond knows, but I think it'll be more interesting if we let Rag disclose it herself for everypony else to find out.)

Flame smiled back at her. "I get this feeling almost every night...Whenever I see that wheel, It scares me...It scares me allot, But that's why I keep doing it, I don't like being scared and I want to get over it...So I just think about what I am going to eat for dinner as I climb on." He laughed and took another large swig of cider.

 

 

Diamond nodded. "I would love to meet her. And...Its good to hear that she is feeling better." She said, finishing her tea.

@,

 

Rag inched subtly closer to Flame while he was in the middle of a swig. He might not have noticed. "You must be an incredibly brave pony... To do that with your wings bound... You really are something, aren't you?"  And she sincerely meant it...

 

Tag finished up his meal, too, and chuckled. "I'm surprised it took her this long to notice your picture. I've only kept it on my desk since our first date."

Flame laughed. "I'm flattered." He said, smiling and looking into her eyes. "The wheel of death looks...Scarier...Than it...actually......Is." He said, staring into her beautiful blue eyes.

@, 

 

Rag's eyes softened, and her heart pulsed ever faster as she gazed into his wonderful turquoise eyes... She could sense the moment coming... And she welcomed it. Smiling slightly, she almost whispered, "Shh..." as he kept talking as his mind drifted ahead of itself. She leaned in gently, and kissed him sweetly.

 

Tag grinned, blushing, and gave half a shrug. "Why wouldn't I? I wish I didn't have to, though. I wish I got to see the real you more often. Not just the picture. Like this." He gestured at the sunset, and gazed into it as the sun disappeared below the horizon. "These are memories we're making, and we're missing out on them because I'm in a travelling circus." He didn't seem happy about it. He'd been having these thoughts for a while, but he wasn't going to leave. He stayed because his sister needed him.

Diamond nodded. "I am sure Star would take care of the shop while I was gone...It would be a good way for me to make more business." She said, grinning.

You're the first light I've seen for a long, long time." She didn't know if she wanted to talk about what had happened almost two years previous, but if she was going to, Flame was who she wanted to talk with. She waited to see if he would ask what she meant...

 

 

 

Tag moved around the table and embraced his marefriend. She was just too perfect, he thought as he gave her a short, passionate kiss. He had missed everything about having her around. About having her there. With him. 

The kiss did break rather quickly, because after all, they were in the nicest restaurant in town, and Tag did not want the two of them to be receiving strange looks from all these fancy-looking ponies.

-----------------------------------------------

ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO

-----------------------------------------------

 

A younger Rag and Tag sat outside in the flowery meadow, at the edge of which sat their parents' house. The tallest buildings in the city of Hoofington could be seen poking up over the horizon. The twins were excited. Their parents, whom they were visiting, were preparing their favourite meal for supper that night, and a package had just arrived in the mail for them. They were bustling about, preparing the largest firework they had seen yet, a rocket nearly three hooves in diameter. The explosion was going to be spectacular! 

 

After they had set it up, Rag looked at her brother to recieve the say so. Tag nodded, and Rag enthusiastically lit the fuse with a match. She dashed away from the rocket, flinging up stones unintentionally, trying to get out of the blast radius in time. Unfortunately, one of the stones struck the rocket, which fell to one side just as the fuse reached it. The rocket sped away from them, singing the grass and flowers it coasted over; such was the power of its speed. It collided with their parents house, which, after several bursts of blue and green firecrackers being visible through the window it had smashed through, rose up in a gigantic, roaring flame. Rag and Tag looked at each other, dismay clearly etched across both their faces... Then Rag sprinted  towards the burning house, and ignored her brother's yells for her to come back, that it was too dangerous...

 

Rag knocked down the front door, weakened as it was by the raging inferno within. She cast about wildly, coughing from the amount of smoke billowing from the building itself. The walls were a bright yellow, each engulfed in pain. She wildly entered the house, barely caring that she couldn't breathe the fumes. She ran into the kitchen, or what remained of the kitchen, and paused in the doorway, ignoring the smouldering ashes that were landing on her, leaving burns, and the burns on her hooves, and the noxious fumes she breathed... There, in the center of the kitchen, was the debris from the rocket, and two, smouldering bodies... That had so recently been her parents... 

 

She collapsed onto the burning floor, tears evaporating as soon as they left her eye sockets. It was her fault... It was all her fault.... She had killed them... She had killed her own parents... 

 

She felt a tugging at her tail as her brother dragged her back outside. He never saw the bodies... He never felt the gutwrenching guilt... She fell into the spiraling realm of blackness...

 

She woke up, months later, covered by clean sheets, in a clean, white room. Her brother sat by her side, and exclaimed! She had been in a coma... Her wounds had mostly healed, but... There was one mark she would keep forever... A red burn scar on the inside of her left front leg. Thankfully it was not very visible due to its location... But that didn't matter. Nothing mattered. She had killed their parents... She had not meant to, but she caused the end of the ones who raised and loved them... She burst into tears, right there in that hospital room.

 

---------------------------

PRESENT DAY

---------------------------

 

She had cried then just as she cried now. She had never recounted that story to anypony. And things had been horrible, constant depression, ever since then. Tag was right, being away from home and always having something to do did help... But it did nothing to eliminate that deep-rooted pain that never left her anymore... Until she met Flame Dancer... And now she was afraid he would agree with her, and not forgive her, and never want to see her again... and she sobbed all the harder for it...

 

 

 

 

Tag smiled kindly. "Maybe you could stay with us. There's plenty of room in our trailer; we barely use half the space in it. I'd have to pass that by Rag, though." He conveniently left out the fact that it was rather messy and smelled like pie all the time.

 

 

(OOC: Yes, I told that story in the form of a flashback. It was easier to tell that way, and would have taken me forever to write either way. Hopefully Rag doesn't become another Yavolin, shunned by everypony, this early on. She surely did a good job of explaining everything from the start...)

Eventually the main event had ended, and Ellectro Dash left with Descant. So far he seemed, almost perfect in every meaning of the word. He probably had negatives to him, and they would show up in time. But for now he was great. Soon they had reached the entrance. "that was great. Other than the parts where somepony nearly died and things got awkward, i liked today" she kissed on the cheek. "well see you tomorrow." she said, before flying off to Canterlot.

[Windy Scamper 403]

Scamps woke up with one thing on her mind; Airy she didn't care how today's preformance was going to go, or what she would have for breakfast, all she cared about was Airy.

 

She quickly brushed her teeth and such, and then walked across the hall to his room. She opened up the door and saw him lying on the bed. She walked over and sat down next to him and began to stroke his mane. She then leaned down and kissed his forehead. "Are you feeling better, today?" She asked softly.

Descant's cheek burned where Dash had kissed it. Smiling, and responding similarly to Dash's statements before she flew off, Descant trotted merrily down the dark and winding lane. His house was too far, being on the other side of town, a good hour's walk from here. So, Descant took a hotel room. It seemed other carnivalgoers were staying there too... Descant fell asleep, alone, quite easily.

[Sunbro 4 Lyfe 939]

Electro Dash had soon made it home. After about 3 hours of flying. It was a good thing she lived on the outside edge of ponyville, if she had to travel ANY further..

She made it to the door of her home and started fumbling through her one pocket for her keys... Thad she did not have because they were confiscated! Instead she sighed, and knocked on the door. From the other side came a voice of a young filly.

"Who is it?" tge voice asked

"Its your mom now let me in." there was a brief pause

"my mom is in prison."

"i was let out. Your godfather paid for my realese."

"whats his name then?"

"bright spark..." there was another pause, before the door opened.

"Mom! Thank celestia it was you!" the voice was was coming from a filly, about 15 yearsof age. She was hugging her mom, relieved for her return

"I have so much to tell you. Ooh first, i got my cutie mark look!" she waved her flank in tge air "im gunna be a chef! And, ive learned a whole new bunch of spells!"

"oh really. Well you can tlll me all about when i get in"

"isn't it a bit late? In fact why are you late?"

"i was down at tge carnival with a special somepony."

"oh really? Tell me mom, was he cute?"

"honey. Shur up and tell me your story..."
