Little did he notice however that he had opened his facebook when he had left and now a bunch of messages were being sent to him, along with some notifications of pictures of him with Rainbow Dash. He also had a ton more friend requests now. But the messages of his sister being the most recent stuck out. It was obvious since they had the same surname "Papagiannis".

Logan had only but a second to register what ya happened. One second, he was standing side by side, hand in hand with Applejack. And the next, she was racing off to the group, laughing. It wasn't part of his normal behavior to run in this way. If something bad was happening, or it was for excersize, then he would. But just because?

 

That second allowed him to reach the second to mentally say 'screw it', and take off after her. Applejack beat the officer there for a multitude of reasons. Among those being she had a head start, but also just her magical enhancement. Plus, Logan wasn't built for sustained high speeds but rather short bursts. He was more of a brawn than swift.

 

Ulysses, who had been lackadaisically plodding behind the couple had finished alongside the woman however.

 

---

 

As Logan slid to a stop, not exactly laughing audibally, but smiling all the same, Diliges gave him a look that could have read 'if you could stop joking around', before clearing his throat and responding to the Princess, "Now that we're all here, I can finally say it. My Commander, Cicada and I have reason to believe that you and your fellow ponies in danger. And I suppose we are as well, when you think about it. Inside the warehouse, we picked up some rather negative vibes from some of the attendees. Feelings of hostility and hatred. And they were directed at you, and us - though they wavered from some sources, as if not knowing we were who they were hostile towards."

 

"Wait, hold on. What did you mean about you guys being in danger too? And how did you pick up on these 'feelings'?" Angie interrupted.

 

Diliges gave her a solid stare, his turquoise eyes seeming to glint from irritation. He could tell the woman found her answer just from that, but he explained anyway, "Because Cicada and I are Changelings - the two that were dragged here with our Queen. The same Changelings that the ponies encountered in a shared dreamscape a short while ago."

 

While he let that information sink in to all those that were not aware - this being only Applejack and Angie - and his information about the whole hostile intent set in with the others, he spoke to Cicada, "Did you notice how after the woman who took that photo left, so did one or two of the negative feelings? I feel allowing her that photo was unwise. I also think she may have been wearing a disguise." He grumbled the last sentence.

 

Logan spoke up now, "So why did you want Angie and I to know?"

 

Diliges, assuming a slight military office tone, responds simply, "Because the two of you, as far as I am aware, are the only two who know how to fight using human tactics. Cicada and I are soldiers, but we're not fully acclimated to combat in these bodies. You help keep the peace where you live, and you are clearly armed," he gestures to the Colt M1911 on Logan's belt, "And Angelica bears a similar weapon, and I trust she knows how to use it, for why else would she carry one?" He looks to Applejack, "You are here not by my initial desire, but in thinking further about it, you are probably one of the most level headed of your friends, even if you bear no ability to lie to conceal secrets."

 

Addressing the other humans, namely Stephen and Clare, he says, "I trust the two of you well enough to know how to handle this sensibly ." And now to the whole group, "When we are all assembled tomorrow, I feel we should let the others know, and perhaps keep a close eye on all of them, lest something unfortunate befall them."

 

Folding his hands behind his back, he nods to Cicada, "Anything you wanted to add, Commander?"

Fluttershy reeled back, blushing bright and going stiff as Colette opened the door and winked at her. "Um...oh...my," she said breathlessly. After rushing through the front door that was offered to her, and finding no one sitting at the dining room table, she reached up to her hair and mussed with it nervously.

Colette watched as Fluttershy bolted from the living room to the bathroom, the fastest she had ever seen the timid Pegasus move. Dammit, she scared her yet again! But what was so scary about making out?? They're going out, aren't they?? They had the perfect chance now that they were alone…

 

Colette went back to the car and retrieved her dress and guitar, then headed back to her room, stopping for a moment in front of the bathroom door. She'll have to come out sometime!

 

Colette changed into her pyjamas and plopped down on her bed, staring up at the ceiling as she listened to the running water. Shoukd she reach out to Rainbow? Nah! She'll figure out what to do with Flutters on her own!

 

Colette turned on her laptop and checked her messages and YouTube page. Whaa?? 38 new subscribers?! Looking over her requests, she saw why. Bronies everywhere somehow found her channel, and now wanted her to play songs from the show. Shoulda figured! She have to speak to Dennis about that at the race...

 

Listening again, Colette determined that Fluttershy might be a while. She wasn't too tired, so she picked up her guitar, strumming whatever song came to mind…

Fluttershy turned the shower on just for the sound of the water running, and, since she was in there already, saw no reason not to take a nice, long after-party shower anyway. By the time she tiptoed to the bathroom door and tentatively poked it open, she was clean and fresh as a daisy, dressed in a pair of borrowed footed pajamas that she'd found in a drawer somewhere.

 

There was no sign of anyone in the house--to be honest, it was a little too quiet. Fluttershy wandered to the door of Colette's bedroom and was rewarded when she pressed her ear to the door. Colette was playing...

She was hiding from her in the shower, so what the hell??

 

 

The song was from one of her non-horror related games, and it happened to be one of her favorite tracks... Colette lost herself to the music, unaware of her audience just outside her door...

 

She continued on playing, practicing  a medley for one of her older fans. Colette had heard of the show, but never knew they had a video game of it... Upon hearing it, Colette was blown away, and spent the next several weeks working on making sound just right:

"I'm.......a very shy person," she said with effort. A sob bubbled up from nowhere, and Fluttershy swung back to clap her hand over her mouth.

 

There was so much she wanted to be for Colette, but...so much to be afraid of. In the past, in the future. And she wanted to protect Colette from all of it, but she couldn't even keep herself together. Fluttershy's face twisted into a mask of anguish, face muscles straining to hold back tears.

"I'm sorry I'm so--broken," she said, bending over, her face almost in Colette's lap before she came back up and latched onto her girlfriend again.

 

"But I need y..." Fluttershy stopped; her fingers had started to twist into claws, but she relaxed again, and turned the motion into running her fingernails around Colette's back.

The "spin" where the drumstick spun in the palm staying on one finger, the juggle, the air catch, the "switch" where he threw the drumsticks against one another and caught the opposite. Besides the tricks he showed her the names of each different instrument, like the gran-cassa, the "plates/percussions", the normal drums, and the "rumble" and how to play some rythms. ((OOC:Don't mind the wrong namings please i ain't got the time to look up their enlgish names)) After he finished he spoke again.

That was true, and to Diliges, it was just as well, "For now, that may be best. From what I've seen, Rainbow would probably behave overly gung-ho to maintain image. We can let them know next we see them. Though the fact we're Changelings may cause just a little trouble from the brash Pegasus."

What Fluttershy felt first was a surge of anger at being called broken. That a mare would expect to sleep with her after only a week, that was-! But Fluttershy shook her head against inner demons. She had to remember where she was, and that she wasn't that mare anymore.

The next wave of sensation to hit was a polar opposite: self-pity and failure. How could she possibly be good enough for this girl now?

"I really am messed up," she mourned.

For a moment, she hesitated. How could she possibly even think about asking Colette to put up with everything that was wrong with her, for--how long? A year, without understanding why? Was that fair.

"It's not about being fair," she said suddenly. Then she tucked herself in. "Thank you for understanding, Colette. You're not the kind of pony I dreamed about falling in love with, but--you're nicer."

Rainbow Dash was nothing if not an attentive student. She repeated every trick Dennis had shown to her the very second she could get her hands on the drumsticks. Although she was tempted to blame lingering poor hand-eye coorditino after the fifth or sixth try they flew out of her hands and she had to go pick them up. She attacked the drumset with abandon, drumsetting in a fit of repressed energy as though she had been waiting her whole life to get on a rock and roll instrument. To her, it sounded like a thunderous, devastating beat fit for Dragonforce. To anyone else...maybe not so much.
