Ocean chuckled. "No, there are no side effects. I never really thought about pranking somepony with one." She said, finishing her tea. "I suppose it would be pretty funny to see somepony's reaction. I wonder what would happen if I were to mix the potion with that other one...poison joke..." She trialed off and quickly reached into her bag, pulling out a notepad a few moments later. She flipped through the pages until she found a blank one and began to scribble something down...in some strange language.

"That might cause some strange side affects..."

He trailed off as he watched her write, but put he ever asked her what language she was writing in. He looked back at his cola, which was gone. He never said anything, even after Ocean's notepad stopped giving off the scratching sound that appeared when she was writing.

Yea...it would have some strange side effects, but I know the cure so I am sure there is some way I can mix the two so it wear's off." She said, smiling and looking down at her empty mug. "Sooo...what do you want to do now?" She asked.

He didn't move for a second. He blinked, and looked at her after a moment.

"Oh! Sorry. Um..."

He blushed, looking back at his glass.

"I don't know what to, Ocean. Really."

"Are you just going to be this way and see if she leaves you? Because that would be a waste of time in her case."

Nightraxx stroke through her mane and held her close to himself, enjoying her closeness and affection...And then she said something, which moved and touched him very much..."Sorrow..." he said softly. "...I'll always be with you and stay by your side...i am happy you called me that..."

 

"I am happy...with you by my side...you make my life complete...and brought back the light into my life..." his expression now full of bliss and gentleness. He started humming a song, it was their song...but he hummed it slowly and very gently...

The song that he hummed felt like a lullaby to her... Sorrow started to feel drowsy again, slowly beginning to nod off. Her eyelids felt unusually heavy, as she closed them. The extremely small smile that she had this morning had came back, as she shifted a bit into his lap.

As Nightraxx kept on humming the song, he felt that she had become tired and started to drift off into sleep. He stroke through her mane softly and interrupted his humming only to whisper "Sleep, my angel. You are safe. I'll stay with you and protect you..."

 

Then he resumed to hum the song he deeply admired and watch over the one, who he loved more than anything in his life. He himself started to get entranced by this deep serenity and started to sink into thoughts.

Scamps shrugged. "I don't know. I mean, it is a little early for breakfast, but if you want to go down, I will. If you want to sleep some more, I could easily fall asleep again. I'm not exactly fully awake yet."

 

((Everyone seems to be on the next day, so we can advance this.))

Airy looked at his bed. "Well, if you don't mind sharing the bed with me so I can get some sleep in a comfortable position, I would like to take a nap before really getting up. If you feel uncomfortable sharing the bed with me, it's okay as well, but... I wouldn't mind."

Airy was a little displeased about his own words. They sounded a little... brash.

The night passed by uneventfully, with Windy sleeping quite well, and soundly. He didn't toss or turn, and his sleep was almost totally dreamless. However, in the early hours of the morning, he began having dreams... ones he didn't like. Most of them involved other ponies laughing at and mocking him. And at the center of the mockers were two ponies, one was a green pegasus with a malevolent, vindictive Cheshire grin on her face, the other was a crippled stallion with an arrogant, aloof snarl on his face. The two ringleaders kept driving Windy away, tears of humiliation in his eyes every time. Every time he ran off crying, he wound up running into a thick fog, where he saw a bright fire lighting the way. However, whenever he approached it, a pair of condescending yellow eyes appeared, laughing at him; telling him he was pathetic; a joke; a pushover. An embarrassment to be around. Then the dream would vanish and he'd be left awake with a burning feeling of shame and embarrassment in his heart. After a few times of this happening, his sheets became too sodden from sweat for him to sleep in them anymore. Getting up and walking around his room to clear his head, he wound up with his head pressed against the cool glass of his window, looking at the black sea outside.

 

"Ugh, why can't they just leave good enough alone... Or am I to blame for all that? Are they really that bad? Sheesh, I shouldn't have to deal with thinking about this right now!" With an angry growl of frustration, he walked over to his saddlebags, and pulled out a bottle. Popping a few of the sleeping pills from it that he used to treat his sporadic insomnia, he threw himself on the couch and fell back into a deep, unnatural sleep that was mercifully devoid of any nightmares.

Late, or what was considered late for the mare, Firebolt woke up. Again, the last night had remained uneventful. It felt like her mind wanted to dream, but was forced to not by something Whatever that something was didn't matter, though. No dreams meant she was almost completely refreshed by the time.

 

Stepping out onto her balcony, Firebolt closed her eyes. The air was heavy with humidity. Though, it was unlikely to actually rain today, that might be a welcome change. It would mean days would be less... Eventful.

 

"And it's only been two days..." She muttered to herself. It was wrong to say the mare didn't like adventure. She loved it. But this cruise was supposed to be relaxing. Not cram all the exciting bits into a few days.

((Ok, ok! I'll wake Windy up!))

 

Despite Windy's uneventful sleep being quite nice, sleeping pills can't last forever. Too soon, he was being dragged out of his peaceful, dreamless sleep, and back into the real world. As much as he tried, he couldn't get back to sleep, so he finally rolled out of bed, cussing and grumbling all the way. As he got up, he looked into the mirror, and saw that his collision from the night before had created a quite noticeable patchwork of bruises on his jaw and forehead. Despite his best efforts, his mane only partially covered the forehead bruise, and try as he might, he couldn't find a way to hide the chin bruise. Giving up, he opened his window, deciding a little fresh air was exactly what he needed. Spreading his wings, he took off and started flying briskly around the ship, hoping the crisp morning air would wake him up. However, the air was anything but crisp. Hot and humid, it made Windy feel like he was taking a hot shower as he flew through the water-filled air. Continuing his flight, Windy looked at the swirling waters below, and thought about how refreshing a dip in the pool would be later on in the day, if it kept being this humid.

 

((It can be your call as to if Bolt saw Windy fly past her balcony, and if she called out to get his attention or said nothing.) 

[Leafeon 2,702]

The few moments of silence Firebolt was enjoying was interrupted by the sharp wind of something or someone flying quickly by her. "Hey!" She yelled at it, flustered. When she looked, she could tell it was a pony. But she wasn't sure what it exactly looked like.

 

((Brown, navy blue, and dark purple,all look about the same color, lucky. ))

Scamps chuckled. "It's fine. I didn't mind last night, and Idon't mind now." She then began to settle into the bed and drift back off to sleep.

 

 

She felt herself walk back to Ponyville. There was a huge thunderstorm, enough to make anypony stay inside.

 

She couldn't continue on traveling.

 

She found the nearest house, and knocked on it.

 

And out came a familiar brown pegasus.

 

"What are you doing here?" He snarled.

 

"Please," she whimpered. "I can't fly home in the storm, I ned a place to stay, and I really need your help. Please, let go of your pride and put the past behind you. I don' t hate you, I've never hated you after I let it all out, I was just...scared."

 

He laughed, just as she had always been afraid he would. "Why should I help you? You' re no good. Nopony likes you, and nopony will miss you. Better you die and not waste anypony's time like you did mine. You're not welcome here. If you'll excuse me, Bolt and I were in the middle of something."

 

"No! Please! Just leave behind your pride for once, just like I'm leaving behind my hate! Please, I need..."

 

"You're not welcome here. I knew Airy was too crippled to do anything, including take care of you. Where is he anyways?"

 

"He...I...it's a long story. He's hurt, after the accident on the ship, he was taken away."

 

"Ha! Figures. Once a crippled, always a crippled. Given, you're not even good enough for a crippled anyways. Goodbye, Scamps." And with that, Windy Runner shut the door.

 

Scamps woke up quickly from her nightmare, so many thoughts clouding her mind. She quickly slipped out if bed, and wrote a note to Airy explaining she needed some fresh air.

 

She stepped out inti the balcony and looked up into the morning sky. She spread her wings and cleared her mind as best as she knew how to;

 

She flew. Around the ship, inti the air, she just took a nice flight.

[Naturematthe 51]

When Airy woke up a while later, the first thing he noticed was that Scamps was gone. He found the note she had left and read it.

And somehow... he was scared.

Scamps hadn't been able to stay in Airy's room, she had had to get out... Even though he didn't know the reason, he somehwo expected the worst.

He sat down on the bed and started thinking.

Why... why would she leave me alone all of the sudden? Did I say something wrong? Didn't I treat her correctly? Maybe... maybe her love for me is gone and she just couldn't tell me...

Well, now was a good moment to also catch some fresh air. Airy washd himself quickly, got dressed and left his room heading to the top deck.

Windy heard an irate voice cry out from behind him, and decided to stop and apologize, maybe he had been flying too close to the ship. When he turned around, however, he saw Bolt standing on the balcony, looking well rested and positively glowing.

 

"Bolt?!" Windy said in surprise, and then suddenly dropped a couple dozen feet of altitude. Bolt's appearance had taken him by complete shock, and he had momentarily forgotten to keep flapping his wings. Pumping his wings harder than usual, Windy returned to be hovering at eye level with Bolt again. With a sheepish grin, he leaned on the railing and chuckled, "Hehe, sorry about that... And by the way, good morning Bolt! Looks like you slept well!" Windy said, hoping Bolt wouldn't notice the bruise on his face. As he finished his greeting, however, he saw a green pony flying above the ship. At first, Windy thought that it was just another pegasus out for a morning flight, but then he realized it wasn't just a pony... It was Scamps! Gulping slightly, and hoping Bolt wouldn't notice, Windy decided the best thing to do would be ignore Scamps... Nothing good could come of another encounter with that lavander eyed femme fatale... He just hoped she didn't see him either, because he wouldn't put it past her to swoop in and knock him right out of the sky where he was hovering.

 

Continuing to talk, he said to Bolt, "Sorry if I flew too close to your balcony, I didn't even know I was so close. Just out for a morning flight to wake myself up. I don't know about you Bolt, but I am looking forward to and hoping for a relaxing, uneventful day!

Realizing it was just Windy, Firebolt relaxed a bit. "Oh. It's fine!" She said happily. "And, me as well. I was hoping we could get breakfast, maybe?" Firebolt asked, breaking eye contact. Something about Windy looked a bit off, but she couldn't tell what it was. Not did she notice the pegasus approaching.

Scamps heard something. A shout hello, some kind of cry. She turned around, thinking it was for her.

 

Nothing. No pony was there.

 

Maybe it's below me.

 

She looked down. And she saw him. Her worst fear; rejection, hate, humiliation.

 

Just leave me alone, please! Please! I don't want to hate you, but you won't leave me alone, and you just make me scared!

 

Her muscles tensed up. She was overwhelmed with fear as memories of her nightmare came back.

 

He's going to hurt me. Throw me overboard, make me pay for the sake of his pride. Let me know I'm worth nothing. I know I'm nothing to him, why can't he leave me be!

 

Her wing tensed up and cramped as she got more and more scared. She couldn' t take it.

She wanted to faint, but she had to stay afloat and awake.

 

But she knew her body couldn' t make both of those things happen.

 

Her fear clouded her, and she began to have an extreme panic attack. She began screaming and falling down, until she finally blacked out.

 

((Sorry, just have to make it hard on you guys. Given, I was going to make her black out next time she saw him, given her fear. Just didn' t know she could possibly die.))

@, @@Windy Scamper,

 

"Yeah, I'd love to get some breakfast! And for today, I was hoping we could just do something relaxing, like hang out by the pool or something. I'd rather not do anything strenuous..." Windy's voice trailed off as he saw a movement out of the corner of his eye and heard a bloodcurdling scream. Scamps had stopped flying and was falling into the ocean! Without thinking, Windy's instincts took over. No thought crossed his mind about not doing something. It didn't matter that this was a mare who hated his guts, she needed his help, and he'd never forgive himself if he hesitated. As Scamps fell through the air, Windy turned and began swooping down to try and catch her before she hit the water. However, he was too slow, and she plunged into the water and didn't surface. Without hesitating, Windy grabbed a gasp of air before slamming face first into the water in a shoddy dive. Swimming down, he quickly saw Scamps' body sinking down, and swam down to get her. Grabbing her, he began swimming for the surface, already running low on air. Pushing himself to the point of blacking out, Windy managed to break the surface of the water, gasping violently for air. Holding Scamps so her head didn't loll into the water, Windy caught his breath for a moment before yelling up to Bolt, "She's ok!" 

 

After a few moments of holding Scamps and getting his energy back, Windy took off, weighted down by both the water dripping off of his wings, and by Scamps' body. Unable to gain enough lift to get back up to Bolt's balcony, Windy strained and struggled up to the lowest balcony he could find. Laying Scamps down, Windy thought back. Fondue had taught him CPR a while ago, saying it was a necessity for if the two of them ever went surfing together, but Windy couldn't remember exactly how to do it. Racking his brain, the only thing he could remember were something Fon had called 'rescue breaths'.

 

"Well, I hope Bolt doesn't mind this" he thought, before pressing his lips against Scamps' cold ones, forcing air into her lungs. After several attempts met with nothing, he pounded her chest in frustration. She reacted a tiny bit, so Windy felt a bit of hope. Again bending over, he started doing more rescue breaths, interspersed with chest compressions, and eventually was rewarded with Scamps' spitting up a lungful of water... right into Windy's mouth, who had been in the middle of a rescue breath. "Ew!" Windy gagged, but quickly his distasteful expression changed to one of happiness, since it seemed like Scamps was stirring...

 

((What, you didn't think Windy would just let her DROWN, now did you? ))

Airy reached the top deck of the ship, still worried about Scamps' behaviour. The worry about the reason why Scamps had had to leave without being able to just wake him up and tell him still preyed his mind. Not even the fresh and still quite cold air could help him get distracted from his worry.

He looked around to see if... well, he wasn't really looking for anything, even though he somehow hoped he'd find Scamps here and get some answers. But... he couldn't just ask her what was up, could he?

Suddenly something crossed his view. It was a pegasus pony flying around the ship - Scamps. Airy sighed in relief when he saw her, even though all he knew now where she was. He sat down on a bench and watched her fly when suddenly she lost control of her movements - and fell down to the ocean.

After the first moment of shock Airyhad to react. He sprinted to the railing, jumped over it, spread out his wings and dove into the ocean to save Scamps.

Well, his mind did, but thanks to his physical condition his epic rescue was cut short two meters away from the bench. Without his wheelchair he wouldn't even reach the railing, without his wings he'd fall down like Scamps had, and then there was the swimming part. It was hard enough for Airy to swim just using his fore legs - even though it was passibel - so he hardly could carry another pony at the same time - especially when he had to hold her with his fore legs.

He was completely powerless in this situation. He could not do anything.

The emotions took over his body and made his body faint. He broke out in tears and couldn't move until he heard a familiar voice shouting:

"She's ok!"

The power suddenly returned into his body, and just a second later he had gotten into his wheelchair again and ran to the ceiling. Swimming in the water he saw - Windy Runner holding Scamps. Somehow the pegasus stallion managed to get to a low balcony, so Airy couldn't see him any more.

And again his body fainted.

That was it. Airy had lost Scamps completely now, even though she seemed to be alive. Her arch-enemy had saved her two times, he even had saved her life... and Airy hadn't been able to do anything but watch. She'd hate him now for sure.

((Luckily, Princess Boltia is overly jealousy prone! ))

 

Firebolt was a bit stunned by Windy suddenly bolting off. She did notice the shriek, but it still stunned her none the less. It was expected for Windy to be somewhat heroic, of course. After all, why would he let another pony drown? The pony in the water was obviously a mare pegasus, with a darker mane and tail then body, though the colors looked similar to each other.

 

By the time he had yelled back to her, confirming the pony be alive. The voice was below her, and slightly to the left. Which means he and the mare were visible, due to the angle. Which was... Unfortunate. She had looked when Windy seemed to be kissing the mare...

 

"No. No. No! It's just CPR! Its fine! He isn't cheating..." The exasperated screams of the mare's mind soon staggered back to its usual silence. She had established that, it didn't matter what intent the kissing had. It was still kissing.

 

Firebolt turned back into the cabin, and slammed the door with her hind leg. Lovely. She slammed the door far too hard. Firebolt was a somewhat built mare. While most of the build was in levitation, she had to use her tools without that sometimes. Especially when she was younger. The door closing so loudly was due to her using literally all her bodily strength to close it. It was surprising enough it hadn't shattered some of the glass window in it.

 

Not bothering to lock it, Firebolt sat down, and stared at the floor in complete silence.

[Windy Scamper 403]

((Well I started one big mess)

 

 

Scamps could feel energy coming back to her. Not strength, nor was the pain gone, just...energy. e

Enough to get her to wake up. She sputtered water up, and then her eyes slowly opened....

 

To se Windy Runner.

 

If it hadn't been for the scene at the bar, or her dream, she might have made some remark about how he had to b ethe hero. And then she'd ask where Airy was, and then mention all the pain her body had from falling that high.

 

She was surprised she wasn't dead.

 

But, all that aside, she didn't say that, because things had happenned that made her thoroughly afraid of this colt.

 

She knew he could hurt her. She knew he hated her, and was ill tempered, and mocked her every chance he'd get

 

He probably saved me just so he could kill me himself.

 

She instead, bolted right up after realizing that Windy Runner was there. She wanted to fly out of there, but it wasn't going to happen. She quickly used her legs to scoot herself away from him. "Please.....please, just this once....leave me alone. I...I don't want your trouble....I don't want you to hurt me. Please, just for once, put aside your pride, take me to a doctor....please Windy, I.....I need help. I don't hate you, I'm just.....I'm.....scared."

 

It took her a minute to realize why those words gave her deja vu.

 

My dream....no....no.....I'm going to die. And Airy won't.even be there for me to say goodbye.

What in Celestia's name did I DO?! I can't possibly be a monster... I just can't be that bad!"

 

Approaching Scamps very slowly and cautiously like he would a wounded animal, Windy spoke in a low, calm tone. "Scamps... Easy... You almost drowned, breathing too hard isn't a good idea right now. And I have no intentions of killing you, or hurting you... I don't want trouble either. And I thought it was YOU who hated me! I was scared of you! This is so weird...But Scamps, I promise you, I won't do anything to hurt you... Well, anything more than I've already done to hurt you. But I'm so sorry for those things. I wish I'd never done them. I acted stubbornly and selfishly, and you got hurt. But I'm not a monster! I'd never wish harm on you!" Coming to a stop a hooves length away from Scamps, Windy extended a hoof to pull her up from the ground, saying, "I'm not going to be the one to keep this senseless hate going. I want to have peace, not hate. Can you accept my apology Scamps? And I'll take you up to a doctor, don't worry!" He added as an afterthought.

She looked down, afraid at looking him in the eye. "I don't hate you. I want to be our friend again, I want all this to be okay. But every time I see you, and see you with Bolt, I remember the monster inside of you, that hurts others to make itself power up. I'm scared of that monster."

 

She gasped, trying to take slower breaths. The fast paced ones from her fear had drained a lot of energy. "I know that you are a sweet, and nice pony. But ev rsince you almost hurt Airy....I've been afraid."

 

She grabbed his hoof. She wa srunning out of words, as the pain from the fall consumed her. She couldn't hold conciousness much longer. "I want to be....your friend. But you have to promise me...to kill the monster inside you. Or at least weaken it. Please...kill...your...pride."

Windy widened his eyes in shock as Scamps fainted again. However, this time, he was able to reach her in time to catch her before she hit the ground. As he clutched her, Windy felt a sense of self-disgust roll over him. How could he have been so bad as to make a mare faint out of fear just being NEAR him? Was he truly a monster, like she said? Was his pride really that self-destructive? His inner self-hating thoughts were interrupted by Scamps moaning in his hooves; he could think all about this later, right now, he needed to do something. Sighing softly as he looked at her, Windy lamented quietly, "I'm so sorry Scamps. Maybe, if Airy and Bolt hadn't been on this cruise things could have been different...." Lifting off, Windy flew up towards the top deck, hoping there was a medical station or something up there. When he touched down, however, he saw Airy's unconscious body on the deck. 

 

"Sheesh... Do I have to do EVERYthing?!" Windy muttered in an irritated voice, before shouldering Airy and his wheelchair. Now severely weighted down, flying was out of the question, so Windy staggered towards a building with a red cross marked on the door, endlessly thanking all of his athletic training that was allowing him to carry so much weight. Kicking open the door, he laid Airy and Scamps down gently on the floor, then walked over and started explaining what had happened to the nurse on call.

 

((Feel free to wake up anytime guys))

[Little info: Airy is NOT unconscious, he is just powerless and crying. But I pretend he is totally down so he doesn't notice anything.]

 

Airy didn't care what happened around him since he couldn't hear Scamps' voice. He didn't care that somepony carried him away, he didn't care where the pony brought him since Scamps wouldn't be there...

After a while he was slowly dropped on the ground. It was a bright room, and he could hear voices. One of them was very familiar... Windy Runner. Maybe he had brought him here.

Or better: them, because there was an other pony in the room he knew.

"Scamps! Oh my... are you okay?"

He saw Scamps' chest move, so she was breathing. Using his wheelchair he somehow got her on one of the divan beds and made it as comfortable as possible. Obviously the room was a first-aid ward, and since Scamps was unconscious and Airy had looked like he was as well, Windy Runner had bought them here.
