"Indeed, I would like that sometime", Monkshood reciprocated with a vague smile. "If you must introduce yourself, I shall see you later", he stated as he stood with his backside covered in the warm glow of flame. Staring off into distance, he pondered, these constant introductions to new ponies were beginning to tire him.

'Ah yes, the hesitation. He's been hiding this for a while now hasn't he? Maybe that's why he tends to be a jerk sometimes. That could explain a lot...' Ceres strode up and placed a comforting hoof on his shoulder, smiling comfortingly at Pelate. "You don't have to force yourself. If you want to tell somepony, you're more than welcome to, but nopony is going to force you."

 

'Besides, I've already figured out the basics. But the act of confessing will open up an opportunity that I can't miss.'

He let out a breath "my wing. It's disfunctional." He knew he wasn't telling what he really thinks "no... It's fucked up. It's destroyed, and my parents never told me to spare my feelings, but instead, it made it all worse, because I wanted to learn how to fly and I found out on my first day of flight school because i could barely go one yard worn out it failing on me. And then on the second day I went back with courage and the others called me a cripple, thinking all flightless Pegasi are useless, as an earth pony with no legs or a unicorn with no magic, and I told my parent my suffering and they had the audacity to just say 'let it go.' And these wings, there just there to signify that I'm a Pegasus with no ability to fly, and for the seven years my parents didn't tell me, it was my goal and they didn't tell me it was impossible to achieve for something that wasn't my fault." He explained in a vulgar tone, he grounded his holding on to his fury towards his own parents, and his fellow students at flight school. He stared at the crackling fire and the sun was all the way down, it was dark and the only thing that brought light to them was the fire. He looked it with a discussed look. He felt nothing then, nothing but. Blankness, not caring of anything.

'Well I figured that out when he was acting so weird earlier... Maybe not the whole story about it though...'

 

"Uhm, are you okay?" She said uneasily, not quite certain what to say in this sort of situation - she wanted to make him feel better but... He seemed just as much angry as he was upset and she wasn't certain whether trying to comfort the Pegasus would be a good idea.

 

'Scribe would know what to say...' She thought uselessly.

Blazing noticed that Eve had left and there was one pony who was alone, but he didn't know if he wanted to actually talk to him. Ya know what? Screw it. At least I'll have somepony to talk to. He thought. For some reason he was almost annoyed by the fact that he was alone. He walked over to the pony and said hi.

 Ceres removed her hoof and frowned.  She expected a hurt and traumatic past, but she would not be in anypony's pity party, that much was certain.  "And?"

 

Ceres stood up and stared Pelate in his eyes, her brow furrowed.  "Not everyone gets dealt a full house in poker.  You sound like your miserable because you have one thing that hinders you, when you have a world of other possibilities open for you.  Yes, not having your flight sucks.  It would equally suck if I weren't able to walk.  But you know what?  Your able to walk, and talk, and function like a normal pony.  Moping around and getting angry over it doesn't exactly help anything.  Your parents might not have dealt with the situation very well, but that doesn't mean that they don't love you."

 

Ceres was breathing hard, desperately trying to keep her voice from raising it's volume.  Realizing that she was getting worked up, Ceres took a deep breath and calmed herself somewhat.  "Pelate, I won't pretend to know how you feel about this.  I won't even pretend to understand what your going through.  But I will say this.  If you keep going on like this, it will hold you back from ever having true happiness."

 

Ceres punctuated her statement with a light hoof-stomp.  Realizing just how much of a buzzkill the whole scenario was becoming, she sighed heavily.  "I'm going back to my cabin."

 

Ceres huffed and left the fire, sending an appologetic glance over to Wish.  'I wish I was able to spend more time with you, I didn't want to let you see that.'  Ceres made her way back to the cabin and plopped onto her back, staring at the ceiling.  'I need a break from all this stupid drama.'

[ParsoOfEquestria 1,490]

Parso sat at the fire, letting all the drama fly over his head, thinking about what is going to happen when camp is over

'I can't go back home, its not home anymore. I need to find someplace to go after this camp. I wonder if Wish could help me, she's the only pony I trust'

he then snapped back to reality

"wait, whats goin' on?"

Pelate looks away with an unamused face 'you sound just like my parents.' He thought. 'Its not the fact I can't fly, it's how others acted towards it' Pelate felt like he could kill somepony out of his anger, and how it had been compromised to everypony. He watched Ceres walk off, he waited for the pony to disappear into the trail and then he spoke up "fuck this. I'm going." He left down the trail 'this isn't right, this camp is much more crappier than in the past, what the hell is it that this camp brought such a strange ponies' he entered the empty cabin and Jumps into bed.

'Quite a pep talk, you sounded like you wanted to kill me. Yet you're the one who wanted to know when I finally talk to you.' He thought. "It'll all be over in the morning...just forget this ever happened..." Pelate thought out Loud. "It'll all be over in the morning" he repeated" he looks at his wing. He remembers what a Pegasus back in Ponyville though not directly to him just to anypony in general nothing is impossible, the words sat in his head for a while "if nothing is impossible, there's still had to be a chance, there has to be." Pelate said to himself. 'But how...'

Eve wandered away from where Monkshood now stood talking with that Blaze dude from earlier, and towards a huddle of other ponies. One she recognised as Wish, and another as Marshmellowface Whatshisname, and a third in Ceres, but she didn't know who the fourth was. 

Well, anyway, upon entering this little circle, the shy smile that she had adopted slid off her face pretty immediately, as she noticed the tension in the air. What was going on? They had noticed she was there, but as she lowered her head uncomfortably, she thought, Maybe I can just back away, and it'll be like I never walked up. She took a hesitant step backwards, unsure.

'Do something!'

 

Like what, she wondered.

 

'Anything!'

 

It was too late though - Ceres stormed off in one Direction, Pelate in the other. Wish simply watched, not having time to act.

 

"I, uh, What just happened?" She wondered out long before shaking her head.

 

'Well a lot of good you were... He would probably disown you or something if he could see how useless you are Wish!' Her mind worked away, producing snide thoughts at her own expense.

 

This 'friends' thing was hard...

 

She couldn't go after Pelate: not into the Colts cabin. She didn't know whether she should go after Ceres... but at least that was something that she could do: she couldn't just sit around and do nothing at all. They were friends after all.

 

"Be back in a minute." She muttered to Parso as she climbed to her hooves and followed her friend back, knocking on the door of the cabin before poking her gear around it.

 

"Hey. Got a minute? I can go if you want?" She asked tentatively.

"dont worry, luv...Eve, right? I think things cooled off a bit. I have no idea what happened. come, sit with me an' Wish"

he let out a genuine smile to let her feel welcome to join them. he scootched over to make room for her to sit

@, 

 

Ceres looked over at Wish, her nose poked inside.  She chuckled and waived for her to come in.  "Wish, your more than welcome to come in.  I'm not mad at you.  And if I wanted to stay away from any of the mares this would be the last place I'd go."

 

Ceres sat up on her bed and scooted over to the headboard, patting on the bed next to her, inviting Wish to take a seat.  "So whats up?  Got something on you mind?"

Eve, still looking slightly disconcerted, walked over to sit next to Marshmellowface. "I... I think I may have missed something crucial here," she mumbled. "I... What just happened?" She looked directly at Marshmellowface, and asked, "I... Um... Where'd you get my name?" 

"And, um... Who are you?"
I can't call you Marshmellowface in my head for forever...

As Eve left, Monkshood began to turn towards the flame. Suddenly, he heard a greeting. Unsure on who it was directed at, he began to spin around looking for anypony. Quickly, he spotted a unicorn beginning to emerge from the shadows. He was a brilliant orange with a mane of yellow and red.

 

"Salutations, I don't believe I've seen you around the camp", Monkshood stated with a strained voice. He paused taking a deep breath, and pondering at the course of events throughout the day.

"Are you... Okay?" Blazing asked. He was almost sure something was wrong with the stallion, based off of the way he was acting. Wow, that's something I never thought I'd be asking somepony else. He thought. Usually he didn't try to help other ponies when it came to things like emotions, but this time he would make an exception

[dedacct6 2,591]

Pelate shook his head of every thought that swarmed around him "just get over it, it's just one night..." He suddenly looked over his words 'get over it' he got frustrated "RAAARGH!!! Why do I have the feeling Ceres was right!" He bsnged his head on the window next to his bunk. He sighed and layed down.

Then the staff comes over to the fire "alright I'm going to put out the fire" the young mare said "head for your cabins, it's almost lights out" she says in a friendly tone as she dropped the bucket of water on the ground.

"I am alright, just these constant talking is enough tire one's senses", Monkshood giving a slightly exasperated grin. Hearing the shouting of the staff, he turned back to the stallion and said, "If you wish to converse, I really don't mind. We have a decent walk ahead of us". Monkshood began to turn and walk towards the cabin, strangely hoping that this new stallion would follow.

"Usually I'm lucky to have somepony talk to me at all..." Blazing said. "I would be lucky to have everypony talking to me, and not making fun of me for once..." He added. He realized he had been getting carried away with something that the other stallion would probably find pointless. "Sorry, I kinda have a tendency to talk like that sometimes." He apologized.

As they began to leave, Monkshood looked around seeing only Evergreen talking with some pegasus he recognized from earlier. "Huh, it looks like most of the others have already be gone for awhile. Did something happen I wasn't aware of", he shrugged at the thought, thinking it probably mattered little. 

 

Turning back to the unicorn, he gave slim grin. "Pay no heed, I myself have a tendency to babble incomprehensibly", he chortled, clearly he found the stallion's apology amusing. Suddenly, his laugh stopped and he continued talking. "What puzzles me most is why your worried that I might beleaguer you. Why would I do something like that? You've done nothing to me, and I've done nothing to you", merely giving the pony a confused look in response.

[The Blades Shadow 445]

Blazing hadn't wanted to have said anything about it, but he needed to ask something. "I'm sorry, but what does beleaguer mean?" He asked. He felt stupid for asking, but that was normal for him, so he didn't really worry too much about it.

(No seriously, I have NO idea what that means...)

"Sorry, I didn't mean anything offensive. It just means to......", Monkshood was clearly having troubles trying to find the proper word to adequately describe himself. "Ah yes, the term I'm looking for is to 'harass' something", shaking his head from side-to-side mildly embarrassed with himself. 

[The Blades Shadow 445]

"Oh... Okay." Blazing said. Well it is kind of obvious you idiot! He told himself. He shook his head, trying to get rid of that thought. No, it's not that obvious... It's a word nopony uses. He thought. His mind was in an argument with itself, and he could do nothing about it.

"well, I guess I'll talk to ya tomorrow. good night, Eve"

Stepping inside and sitting on her bed, Wish shrugged.

 

"Nothing much. There's just too much happening right now. Too much drama" She said simply.

 

"Uh, I was thinking of going for a walk - out in the dark where its quiet - I do that sometimes. You can come too if you want? It might help you relax?" She shrugged and sat up a little straighter to look out of the window. "Eve's going to be back soon."

He stared at the unicorn as he batted his head from back and forth almost frantically. "Is everything alright? Hopefully, I have said nothing to disturb you", Monkshood remarked. He continued to trot along the route. "Curious, such a bizarre reaction. I wonder if he has some illness. I might be able to help him if so", he thought with an indifferent smirk about his face.

 

Looking back towards the unicorn, he continued trotting forward only to bash into a rather large object. He was shocked to learn that they actually stood before the cabin. Monkshood maneuvered himself around the building, and stopped just short of the door. He rubbed his head trying to relieve his current sense of pain. "Before we go in for the night, I would like to introduce myself properly. I am Monkshood, and what can I can refer to use as", he uttered in an uneven voice, still surprised from his abrupt stop.
