Chapter 10: strange dream and flying problems

Applejack opened her eyes, there were doors in front of her. A guard suddenly appeared and opened the door. ''Your big moment finally arrived Miss Applejack.'' He said and the door opened. She walked through the door and walked into an amazing hall. There was a cloth laying on the floor and on both sides there were ponies from Ponyville and her Family from around Equestria. They all clapped and applauded, some even cried. What the hay is going on? She thought and she automatically walked on the cloth, following it to the end of the hall. There stood Princess Celestia and Blade. On the stairs stood the rest of the main six. She knew this place but from what? Then it hit her. It was the wedding location of Shining armor and Princess Cadance.

She arrived at the altar. Blade was smiling at her and he was wearing a tux she never saw on him before. Princess Celestia cleared her throat. ''Dear friends and Family. We gathered here to see the wedding of two people I'm proud of to be calling my friends.'' Wait wedding? Applejack thought? Of us? She looked at Blade, he just smiled like always. ''Just to be sure I'd like to ask you two the questions. Blade will you take Applejack as your beloved Mare?'' ''I do'' Blade answered. ''Then Applejack, will you take Blade as you beloved Stallion?'' Applejack remained silence, she couldn't remember that she had wedding plans or something like that and now she was marrying Blade. ''Applejack, an answer please.'' Princess Celestia hold her head close to whisper. ''Oh sorry.'' She quickly said giving her some thinking time. Finally she answered. ''Yes I do.''
''Then I now announce you Mare and Stallion, you may kiss your Bride Blade.'' Blade came close and kissed her, she kissed back and everyone in the hall went wild.

Back in reality
''Hey Applejack, wake up.'' Applejack moved a bit. ''Damn it Applejack stop kissing the pillow!'' Applejack opened an eye. She saw a pillow in front of her and she was kissing it. With a shock she awoke. ''What in Tarnation?!'' She almost fell from the bed but was saved by Blade. ''I guess that you had a sweet dream but it's way past your waking time. I already checked the grounds and fed the animals. You were probably pretty tired after last night, I don't blame you.'' Applejack tried to remember what happened in her dream. Suddenly she remembered something. ''Wait aren't you supposed to be with Rainbow Dash and Bluestar?'' ''Yeah so I wanted to say bye for now and see you tonight.''

After Blade left Applejack tried to think back to her dream. Why would she dream like that? She blushed a little. ''When it is that time I hope it will be just as grand.'' She giggled and thought about tonight. There would be a festival and three of her friends would do a spectacular act. After that she would get a little private time with Blade. She had it all planned out.

And back to Blade POV
An empty plain, a soft wind moved the grass. Three figures came with a very high speed. Those are Rainbow Dash, Bluestar Blaze and I, Blade Flarestorm. We are training for the act we had to do that night. A triple Sonic RainBoom with in the end my Sonic Flareboom. It was an extraordinary act since there are not that many Pegasus that can do that. Bluestar showed a lot of potential in his flying lessons, he can keep up with her at high speed, I on the other hand had some troubles. ''Come on Blade, you're falling behind.'' Rainbow Dash yelled at me. ''The final stretch is now guys, let's do it good now!'' And we went into position. We used the racing technique I told them, getting into each other's slipstream and gaining speed. It was the best gamble to get our Sonic Rainboom's at the exact same place.

We began to accelerate, faster and faster. Rainbow already reached the breakthrough point but held in. Bluestar Hit it a little later but still had the speed. I didn't reach it and got hit by a random wind on my wing. I crashed down and crashed in a tree. When I fell down every branch on the way hit between my manhood. ''That wasn't so nice.'' I said and Rainbow dash and Bluestar landed next to me. ''Blade, what is wrong with you dude? You are awesomely fast, did your version of the sonic Rainboom and still fail at it.'' I looked down, Rainbow just had that effect. I didn't know it myself but I just couldn't go faster. ''Blade, why won't you take a rest? You 're busy with the Applebuck season preps and you have a date with Applejack tonight. It's the best thing to do now.'' I nodded, I didn't know why but I just nodded. I stood up and went towards the farm. ''Aww man. If he doesn't get his part done we need to do it together. But I won't do that.'' Bluestar nodded. ''Let's get back to training. Blade may not be able to do it now but he should be when he rests up a bit.'' Rainbow dash shook her head. ''It's not that he needs to sleep but he needs to do something. I know him a little longer than you so I say this from experience. He pulls through in the end and that's why I don't give up on him.''

I didn't want to show my face to anyone so I went to one of the tree's, laid down and began to fall in a deep slumber. ''Maybe that shadow dude has some advice…'' I said to myself before falling away in my sleep.

Dreamland
I opened my eyes and saw something else then last times. Every time it was the park close to my house but now it was in a train? ''Shadow dude, are you here?'' I asked around but nobody responded. I went into the next car and saw him directly at my right side. ''You called Blade?'' I sat down at the opposite side of him. ''You know I missed you Blade. I know I give you advice from time to time but I haven't seen you the last few weeks.'' ''I know dude but I need some help now. I can't get the power back I used to defeat that Manticore and that Changeling. It's like I never had that power in the first place.'' The shadow looked at me. ''Are you kidding me? That's the problem? Have you never looked at the situations you were in when you used it?'' I thought about that. ''Well first I wanted to protect the barn and I wanted to kick that Changelings ass. So does it only work under those conditions?'' The shadow made a facepalm pose. ''Not exactly Blade but close. It just means your power is still evolving. Getting stronger every time you get stronger. In other words you don't have control over it.'' I looked at him and he sighed. ''When you can control the power you can summon it at all times. Also for your little stunt tonight.'' ''Ok but what should I do to control my power? I only used it twice and that was when I was ready to rumble.'' The shadow stood up. ''Blade, your power is connected to your heart and shines as bright as your spirit. Balance those two and you can do it.'' I thought about it and nodded. It was a little more clear to me but Í just trusted in the shadow dude. I stood up. Thanks shadow dude. I will work on that.'' I wanted to go away but he stopped me. ''Can't you stay a little while? I wanted to chat with you.'' I sighed and nodded. It was the least I could do for the help.

Normal world
I woke up at sunset. Our act was probably in another hour. ''Damn you shadow dude, now I won't have time to practice.'' I flew off towards the training field and tried to get my power under control. Stay focused I said to myself. I looked for my power and found a trace but nothing was there. Like there was nothing there.

When I arrived at the training field Rainbow and Bluestar were waiting for me. ''Hey Blade, did it work?'' I shook my head. Bluestar looked disappointed but Rainbow gave me a pat on the shoulder. ''Don't worry dude. I know you will do it right at the show.'' I gulped, somehow Rainbow was convinced I would make it anyhow. ''Now let's go to t Ponyville!'' Rainbow Dash flew away with Bluestar in pursuit. I flew behind them a little further away. I just hoped to get it over with, and kill shadow dude for giving apparent stupid advice.

Ponyville
The square began to flood over with ponies. The mayor cleared her throat and everyone shut up. ''Thank you all for coming. Like always is this festival here because the harvesting seasons begin tomorrow. The best known here is Applebuck season at Sweet Apple Acres. But now we have a special opening ceremony. These three Pegasus will do an amazing act that will open the festival.'' She pointed at us and everybody applauded. ''If you are ready you may begin your act.''

We all shot up. When we were at the right height we began doing stunts. We did looping's, Cloud art and fly overs. When it was time for the final stretch we all flew to the horizon. I was so scare that slowed down. ''Come on Blade, keep up. Show a little of that fired upness you showed when fighting that Changeling!'' I opened my eyes. That was it! I was fired up because my friends were with me, and I will do anything to make them smile.

When I thought that I felt that burning sensation in my chest I hadn't felt in a while. The peaceful days made me forget the reason of my power but it was back. We turned around for the Final stretch. Rainbow sped up to Breakthrough speed with Bluestar on her tail. I on the other hand flied at a slower pace, concentrating. My mane began to lit up as well as my tail. Again I felt that power, remembered it. And now I knew how to use it. I began to speed up, faster and faster. Closing in on the other two. I had to hurry because we were almost at the square.

Everyone at the square was looking at us. Closing in with high speed. Rainbow Dash closed her eyes. ''Come on Blade. Show them your will!'' She shouted and I was behind Bluestar.

BOOM! Rainbow Dash went through the barrier. BOOM! Bluestar also did it. The two sonic Rainbooms looked like a big one because they were close and on the same place. BOOM! A third Sonic Rainboom sounded. And this one was a different color. They were the color of flames. ''He did it, that son of a bitch really did it.'' Bluestar yelled when he pulled up to make the Rainbow connect to the stage. ''Hell yeah Blade, I knew you could do it!'' Rainbow Dash yelled. Everybody cheered. They just witnessed not one, not two, but three Sonic Rainbooms. On one location at roughly the same time. The sight was beautiful and extended to the far and wide regions of Equestria.

When we were back on stage we got a big applause. We bowed and the mayor took word. ''Thank you for the show Rainbow Dash, Bluestar Blaze and Blade Flarestorm. Now, I would like to announce, the Harvest festival… opened!''

Edge of festival grounds
''You called me here Applejack?'' I asked. Applejack turned around and saw I was alone. She came to me and gave a big kiss. ''We haven't gotten that much privacy between work, family and friends. So I wanted to be alone with you.'' We kissed until we ran out of breath and stared in each other's eyes. ''Blade, I wanted to ask you something that is very serious.'' I looked at her, pretty clever to first kiss me and then come with something serious. ''When you get the choice to return home to your beloved friends and Family. While you also had the opportunity to stay and spend the rest of your life among us. What would you choose?'' A hard question at which I didn't know the answer to. I looked her in the eyes and said. 'That is one of the hardest choices I will ever make. But my choice would be to stay. The ponies here are the best family and friends I ever had.'' Applejack smiled a little, she knew she meant the world to me but never asked something like this before. We hugged and Applejack thought. ''I hope he will never get to choose. I want to see that dream come true ASAP.''

It was past midnight when they returned to their friends. They talked and laughed amongst themselves and went back home. They had to rest up on their final free day before Applebuck season.
