My Little Pony: Skye Dubson

Chapter II: The Heroism

As the day became evening and the sky became a deeper shade of blue, Skye and the six were continuing of their journey to the town, in which he'd been run out of previously. Skye though about how bad humans must have been for him to see the malice in Twilights eyes. "Does any… pony hate me?" he asked. Twilight stopped, and sighed. Then she slowly turned around and looked at him, "No, we don't hate you, you have proven to be good, kind, intellectual, if we did hate you, we would have destroyed you when we had the chance" she said. Skye face-palmed and then shrugged.

He looked at the other ponies, Fluttershy, who wasn't as scared as before, "Fluttershy?" he asked. She looked at him, with fear in her eyes, she was scared, she was trying to keep it back though, "Yes?" she asked with a quiet voice. Skye blushed, "It doesn't matter, I can ask you later" he said. Fluttershy shrugged it off and carried on looking ahead of her. He looked at Rainbow Dash too.

"Rainbow Dash?" he asked. She looked at him, in her eyes there was only hate. "Yes?" she said through gritted teeth while turning back around. "Why do you hate me in particular?" he asked. Rainbow Dash coughed, and ignored him. Skye ran up to her, until he was by her side, "Hello? Miss little irritated-", he said, before Rainbow Dash turned and punched him in the cheek, causing him to stumble backwards. "What the hell!" he shouted. Rainbow got in his face, "Don't ever speak to me, you worthless, insolent piece of garbage!" she shouted, spitting on him and spread her wings.

"You know", said Skye, "I never thought someone as pretty as you would be so… feisty" he said sarcastically. She looked at him with pure hate and sped away in a blur or colours, like before. Skye looked at Twilight, "you know, I'm gonna assume that if someone leaves, it means they have no trust or respect for me" he said. Twilight only nodded. Skye looked at Pinkie, but she shook her head, as did Rarity, he got back up and they started walking again.

Skye remembered Applejack, "Hey, urm, Applejack?" he asked. Applejack ran over to him, "what is it?" she asked. Skye outstretched his hand, "Is it alright if I pet you? I usually tend to want to pet something when I'm upset or feeling like dirt" he begged. Applejack looked at Twilight, and so did Skye, she didn't look back. "Well, I suppose it couldn't hurt" she said, "And, what is petting?" she asked. Skye stopped and started laughing. Twilight must have taken this in offense, because she quickly turned around and encased him in a mist of purple sparkling aura, which shaped into an orb.

Skye banged on the inside, "Hey, let me out!" he shouted. He stopped and realized it was useless. They couldn't hear him. Skye was Applejack outside the orb, arguing with Applejack. He looked at Fluttershy, he felt like crying, again. It didn't seem fair to him that ponies hated him when they hadn't even met him properly. "Talking ponies, that is a very childish thing. I suppose that this town has some "Cliché hidden secret" and I gotta help" he said, then sighed again.

Twilight looked at the ground and the mist and the orb disappeared. They were getting closer to the town, along the way losing Pinkie and Rarity. Skye was worried since only half of these 6 ponies left. "Fluttershy, I wanna ask you something" he said. Fluttershy looked at him, "What is it Skye?" she timidly asked. Skye smiled, "Earlier in the library, how come you assumed I might not be evil?" he asked. "Is that what you were going to ask a few minutes ago?" she asked, full of curiosity. Skye blushed again, "No, no, but why?" he said again. Fluttershy also blushed, "Well, I… suppose I knew you weren't evil, because if you were, you could have destroyed us when you woke up, but you didn't" she said.

She looked at the sky, "It's about time to feed Angel, I wouldn't want him to wait, poor thing, I'm going to have to say goodbye for now Skye" she said. She spread her wings in a similar fashion to Rainbow dash, but didn't speed away. Instead, she steadily flapped her wings, staying close to the ground, "That's cute" said Skye; he looked around his head, where little hearts seemed to be orbiting his head. "Applejack, why are hearts blocking my view?" he asked. Applejack looked at him, then at Fluttershy, "Wait, did you…? Haha, that's precious" she giggled.

"What, did I fall in love or something?" he asked. Applejack pointed a hoof at Fluttershy, "I think you fell for her" she said, trying to hold back sniggers. Then she stared at his eyes, "You really aren't evil, are you. You can't be. No human has ever fallen for a pony, ever" she said, getting a bit more serious. "Well, thanks for that Applejack, but I wanna make a good impact on the ponies here, I don't want to be outcast again" he said, reaching his hand out.

Applejack backed away from his hand, "What're doing?" she asked. Skye looked at his hand, "Oh that's petting, when I run my ringers through your mane, or stroke you. It's what humans usually do with their… pets" he said, mumbling "pets". Applejack got close to his hand, "So, no harm involved?" she asked, getting better trust in him. He shook his head, "Nah, it's like…" he said, but couldn't compare it to anything. Applejack wasn't sure still, "Maybe later" she said. Skye nodded, "Okie dokie lookie" he said.

Applejack stared at him, "What?" she said. Skye frowned, "Did I do something wrong?" he replied, getting a bit scared. Applejack stood next to Twilight, "That's what Pinkie always says" she said, looking curiously at the emotion on his face. "Really, I've said that for as long as I can remember" he said. Applejack looked over towards the town getting closer to them, "Well, I do trust you Skye, but I think Twilight needs to help you… alone" she said, then looked at Twilight. "Seeya" she shouted as she trotted off. Only Skye and Twilight remained.

They walked towards the town, which seemed much bigger than before, but that was probably because he was running before. "Twilight, if you hate me, say it to my face. It's fine, I have no friends at home, and I wouldn't be upset or angry. In fact, I'd be pretty happy if you said you really don't hate me, I actually might cry tears of joy" he said. Twilight stopped again, "You know why I hate humans?" she asked, getting impatient, "I hate you because you talk too much, you don't what you're doing half the time and when you don't get what you want you whine about it. The worst part is you get upset too easily or angry or displeased!" she shouted, and started breathing heavily.

Skye stopped and slouched to a sitting position, "That's a heartless thing to say, even to something you assume is evil", he said, "Tell you what, how about I go and die in a pit?" he said. Twilight looked at him, and something sparked in her eyes, "GOOD!" she shouted in his face. Skye put a hand on her shoulder, "Twilight, what's wrong?" he asked. Twilight put her muzzle right against his nose, "don't touch me!" she shouted. Skye removed his hand, "Something is obviously troubling you. What is it?" he asked. Twilight ran backwards, "Wait, did you… see it?" she asked. Her face started to become less heartless. "As in the spark in your eyes?" he said, "Yes, I saw it, why?" he asked. Twilight ran over to him and put her hooves around his waist, "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" she said.

Skye was confused, "Twilight, please tell me why you are hugging me and ten seconds ago you might've ripped my face off?" he asked. She gleamed with happiness now, "You saw the spark, any human who sees that is not evil, even a little bit of evil stops a human seeing that. But you saw it, you have to be entirely good!" she shouted, she started bouncing. "Well, can you please lead me to town, so we can get this sorted out?" he asked. She said yes and grinned, "Definitely!" she shouted, she grabbed his hand apparently with a hoof and started dragging him towards the outskirts of the town.

She didn't stop bouncing, and when they arrived at the town, she said, "Stay here while I get the mayor!" and bounced off. Skye smiled, "Oh my god, she smiled, and she's happy, because of something I did!" he giggled; He did a little dance and stopped as he heard voices coming. "Crap, erm…" he mumbled as he crouched into a small bush, although his head wasn't hidden.

"So Lyra, what do you plan on doing when she arrives?" said another female voice. Are they any males here? Skye looked around a tree to see two ponies, but only one of them was in the crowd, she was a light beige colour, with navy blue and cotton candy pinkie colours in her name. She had a tattoo of three candies on her flank and aqua eyes. The other one was aqua, with an aqua mane with one white stripe in it. She also had sunset orange eyes; she was probably Lyra, as her tattoo was a harp, or a lyre.

"Nothing much, I'm supposed to be helping a few other unicorns with banners and stuff" she said. The two ponies trotted past rather quickly, as if they were late for something. Or maybe they saw him, Skye preferred the former. Anyway they were gone and Skye was waiting for Twilight to come back. After around what seemed to be twenty minutes, Skye decided to leave his current position and look for the library. He got out from the bush and slipped beside a tree. He looked around cautiously before sneaking towards a building. He hid below the window of an old looking building.

He scurried around the building, avoiding the sight of ponies here and there. He looked up at the sky and saw it was about four pm. He saw Pinkie in a shop window, talking to a blue pony, which looked at least twice Pinkie's age. She seemed to be ordering something. Pinkie got a metal plate with some muffins on it and passed it over using her hooves. The logic in this world made no sense, however, it was a shop and the older mare hadn't paid, so Skye assumed they both worked there and the muffins were for a party or something.

"Skye, where are you?" came Twilight's voice from where he had been waiting for her to come back. He looked at her, trying to find him and couldn't get to her due to ponies crossing the street between them. Skye spotted an old piece of paper on the floor, a receipt of some sort. He picked it up and folded it into a paper plane shape, which was actually quite sturdy. The physics of this world made little to none sense. He waited until no ponies were around and then scribbled "Over here" on it. He wrote it with a pen he had in his shirt pocket, which he always took to work.

As he got ready to throw it, he didn't see a mare coming round a corner and he threw it. It hit the mare straight in the face. She looked at him. Skye couldn't move; he felt like this was it; he was going to be outcast again. Instead of running, or giving away his position, she just stared at him. She was grey, with a blonde mane and orange eyes; which were the most intriguing aspect of her. Her eyes were somewhat out of alignment. She looked like she had a disability of some sort, Skye didn't judge her though, because he himself had one, ADHD, though a low form. He had trouble understanding some things and his mood changed quickly sometimes.

"Sorry, I meant to give it to Twilight over there" is all he could think to say. To Skye's surprise, the mare wasn't scared, or angry. Instead she looked over to Twilight, picked up the plane and said, "Well, I am the mail-pony. I'll give it to her", and with that she walked off. She reached Twilight and passed her the plane, then pointed at Skye's location. Twilight gleamed again and sped over, faster than a bullet. "Skye", she started, to which he nodded, "I have requested a meeting with Princess Celestia to meet you, I told her about the thing, and the spark, me, and…" at this point she started to find it hard to breathe. Skye put his hand on her muzzle, "Twilight, take a deep breathe… And calm your passions" he said.

Twilight blinked, then apparently grabbed his hand with a hoof again and dragged him into the middle of the street, where a bunch of ponies saw him, "That was a fool proof plan, wasn't it?" he asked, sarcastically. Twilight remembered that not all the ponies trusted him yet and tried to push him back into the ally way where he'd moved from the window. It was too late, the ponies saw him and were either trying to escape or kill him, or worse. Skye backed into a corner as Twilight watched, and she did something that shocked Skye, since her behaviour earlier.

She jumped in front of him and shouted, "Wait!" which stopped the ponies. Twilight stood there, ready to protect him. "Don't protect the human!" a pony shouted. Another said, "He's using you!", and other ponies shouted other things. Twilight sighed, if you would all just listen-"she started, but the ponies just kept shouting. Some of them just had weapons out of nowhere, and some were still trying to retreat. Twilight's mane seemed to become fire as she shouted suddenly, "LISTEN!", she started, then settled down, "He saw it, and you should all know what I'm talking about and what it means" she said.

"Twilight?" Skye asked, and Twilight turned around, "What?" she asked. Suddenly, from somewhere in the crowd, a black pony shouted "She's possessed and ran towards Twilight with a spear, "Seriously?" thought Skye as he lunged forward. He pushed Twilight out of the way of the spear and she landed on front of another bunch of ponies who gasped. Skye wasn't sure if they gasped for his bravery, another pony going to kill a friend or himself getting impaled… WAIT, WHAT?!

Skye looked down to his stomach, where a wooden spear had penetrated his skin and gone through one of his organs, a kidney maybe? Skye looked at the Skye, then at the pony. He could only mumble three words, "You… Happy now?" he asked, before falling over sideward and feeling the sharp pain get worse. He couldn't pass out as much as he tried, he could only see Twilight and about three other ponies running towards him.

His vision became blurred and he could only hear a faint gathering of voices, some clear, others not. He tried to move but failed. Twilight was right beside him, "Skye, hang in there! The hospital is only a mile away" she said, but Skye couldn't hang in there, and gave in to the wound again and the last thing he saw was a white blob saying one word, but he couldn't hear what it was.

There was a faint noise, coming from the nose of Skye, who was asleep in a bed, with curtains around him, maybe to stop other ponies seeing him. His eyes moved around under the blankets that were his eyelids. He slowly opened his mouth, and yawned deeply. "What?" he whispered. He heard the noise of someone coming in through the curtains, which he had not yet seen, "Who's there?" he asked. The reply he got was, "I'm the nurse, I'm here to see if you're okay" she said. Had Skye woken up from a dream? The pain felt real, and so did the fear. "I had the weirdest dream" he said, half conscious.

The nurse giggled, "What? Tell me about it" she said. Skye got up and rested against a pillow, "Well, there were talking ponies" he said, which then gained another laugh from the nurse, "It's sounds-", Skye started, but then he opened his eyes, and his vision cleared and became vivid. The nurse in front of him was in fact, a… talking pony. "So, this isn't a dream?" he asked her. He realized he had been stabbed and looked at the wound, he went to lift his shirt, but it had been covered with blood and replaced with hospital clothing.

"It was a very brave thing to do what you did, foolish but brave" she said, "Saving Twilight like that. The pony who tried to kill her has been apprehended" she finished. Skye looked at a tray in front of him, "Is this for me?" he asked. The nurse nodded and opened the blinds behind the bed in front of a window. Skye reached down and was about to grab a spoon, then forgot about the spoon and looked at the bowl of oats and milk in front of him, he didn't care about getting it down his clothes, so he picked it up and drank it whole.

The nurse was about to leave, but saw him and rushed over, "Be careful, milk stings injuries you know" she said. Skye held the bowl with one hand as he made a 'thumbs up' towards the nurse. She gave a look as if to say 'Very well', and then left behind the curtain, which Skye could see in the corner of his eye. "Oh and Twilight and her friends will be coming in a couple of minutes, Twilight told them what happened" she said. Skye finished the bowl and looked at a cup of juice? It was pink and had bubbles on it, he picked the cup up and looked at the curtain, "Okay, and thank you for the service" he said. Behind the curtain he could hear the nurse saying, "So, he isn't evil".

While the nurse was leaving, Skye's injury got worse in feeling. "Ow, goddammit!" he screamed, as he tried to reach for the blinds to shut them, he slipped and fell of the bed. "Please, god, don't make this any worse" he said. He scrambled on the floor, and accidentally pulled of the duvet, revealing a book under the bed. He picked it up and slid it over to himself. "Daring Do and the Lapis Gauntlet" he read from the cover, the book looked really old, but he assumed this was to make it seem authentic. He looked up at the bed and used the rail to pull himself back up, "Huh" he groaned. As he got back into the bed, he put the duvet back over his body and opened the book.

"Chapter one; legends, Daring Do was swinging from a rope in the jungle, trying to cut it above her as to fall down into the gauge, where the hidden gem; "The Ruby of Tep" was hidden" Skye read aloud. Suddenly a voice interrupted him, it was the tomboy pony with the rainbow mane, "Don't read it aloud, because I haven't got that far yet" she said. Skye flinched and fall of the bed again, the other side this time though. "Please, don't hit me again" he said. Rainbow Dash walked around the bed and looked at him, "Here, let me help you" she said, lending a hoof.

Skye took her hoof and raised himself up to the bed again, "Thank you" he said. Rainbow shook her head, "No, thank you. If it wasn't for you, that psycho would have killed Twilight" she said. As she said this, few of the others arrived, consisting of Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy and Applejack. They surrounded him and Fluttershy was the first to speak, or rather sympathetically cry for Skye, "Oh, you poor dear, you are you?" she asked. Skye looked at his clothing and lifted it slightly to look at the stitches. "Well, it stings like…" he said, he didn't want to swear, "Really bad" he finished. Rainbow lifted into the air a little bit using her wings and crossed her hooves, "I have to say as the element of loyalty that goes beyond my limits" she sniggered. Fluttershy looked at Rainbow Dash and Skye thought she was going to swipe her across the face or something, but that didn't seem like a thing she would do.

"Fluttershy, what's an element?" he asked. Fluttershy turned back around and smiled, "Well, the elements of harmony are us, the mane six, Rainbow Dash is loyalty, Pinkie is laughter, Twilight is magic, Rarity is Generosity, Applejack is honesty and I-" she almost finished, but Skye interrupted her, "You are kindness?" he asked. She put her two front hooves on the rail of the bed and stared at Skye, "How did you know?" she asked. Skye looked at the roof, "Well, it is part of harmony, isn't it? Peace and kindness, that's what my mum always said, but she was… not there after… never mind, anyway, the important thing is that I never had any kindness or respect growing up" he said, now looking away from the ponies.

Fluttershy smiled, "At least you're with us now, right?" she asked. Skye faced her, "Yeah, I suppose" he mumbled. He looked at Applejack, "How are you, AJ?" he asked. Applejack coughed, "Well, I'm fine myself, but when Twilight told me what happened to you, I was scared to be honest" she said. Then he looked at Pinkie, "To say you're Laughter, you seem to be down in the dumps" he said. Applejack nudged Skye, "Psst, Pinkie is having a hard time at the moment. One of her sisters passed away last month" she whispered. Pinkie looked at Applejack, "You don't have to whisper you know, I CAN hear you" she said.

Applejack looked at Rainbow Dash, "I think it would be best if we left" she said. Rainbow Dash nodded and they left. Soon after, Pinkie left too. Fluttershy was sat, or rather laying in a chair beside Skye, in a very cute way. "Fluttershy?" he said. She looked at him, "Where's Twilight, is she okay?" he asked. Fluttershy patted his shoulder, "Good heavens, yes, she's just in shock. And in case you're wondering, Rarity is really busy at her boutique" she said, with her cute timid voice.

Suddenly, a noise came from the curtain, which was now ruffling. "Fluttershy, help" came the voice of a young one. Fluttershy went over and moved the curtains to the side. Then, in came a small purple dragon? He, or at least looked like a he, Skye hoped it was a he; there were too many girls here. Anyway, he had spikes on his head and back and tail and a green stomach, and a cute face. "Why do most things in this land look so cute?" he asked aloud, when he meant to say it in his head. The dragon leapt onto the end of the bed, "I'm not cute, and I'm handsome. Anyway, I came to thank you for saving Twilight, she's kinds like my sister, or mom" he said, nervously, rubbing the back of his neck.

"You know, I don't even know your name" he said. Skye blinked, "My name is Skye, Skye Dubson, nice to meet you… erm?" he asked. The dragon put his claw out, which Skye took and shook, "I'm spike, the only dragon in Ponyville" he said. Skye smiled, "Ponyville, is that what this town is called?" he asked. Fluttershy nodded. Spike looked at a clock on the wall where Fluttershy had opened the curtain, "Well, I gotta go see how Twilights doing, catch you later" he said, and then he jumped off the bed and ran away, waving.

"Fluttershy, what's the name of a grey pony with blonde hair?" he asked. Fluttershy thought, "Marzipan?" she asked. Skye giggled, "Nice name, but no, she said she was a mail pony. I can't remember her tattoo" he said. Fluttershy giggled too, "Tattoo? You mean a cutie mark, like this?" she said pointing a hoof at three butterflies on her flank. Skye patted Fluttershy on the shoulder, "Hey, Fluttershy?" he asked, she looked at him still pointing at her cutie mark, "Fluttershy rhymes with Butterfly" he said, Fluttershy laughed, "I never noticed that" she said.

Skye looked into Fluttershy's eyes, as did she into his. Fluttershy leaned forward and closed her eyes. 'Is… Is she going in for a kiss?" Skye thought quickly. He forced his head forward and their lips met. They stayed in this position for a couple of seconds, and then Skye pulled away. Fluttershy seemed sad, "Oh no, I'm sorry" she said, and then she flew off before Skye could say anything. Skye thought of a song that reminded him of Fluttershy and said one line, "You don't know you're beautiful" and laid his head back down on his pillow.

He looked out of the window; it was near the morn, how long was he out for? He heard someone outside the curtain, "Who is it now?" he asked. Twilight came in, "Hi, Skye, are you okay?" she asked. She walked right up to him. Skye felt a bit dizzy, "Yeah, good, your friends bar Rarity came to see me and Spike" he said. Twilight smiled, "That's nice, I hope they were all kind?" she asked. Skye shook his head, "Two problems, tell Pinkie I'm sorry about her sister and two, would I be in trouble if I dated a pony?" he asked.

"I'll tell Pinkie the next time I see her, and yes, you'd be a lot of trouble if you dated a pony, why?" she asked, suspiciously. Skye started sweating, then rubbed his head, "Look, I'm gonna be truthful with you, me and Fluttershy shared a… kiss" he said, trying not to anger the pony. Twilight sighed, "I assume she left?" she asked. Skye nodded, "After saying oh no, sorry" he answered. Twilight went up to Skye and smiled, "Feel free to ask her out, I know you're not evil" she said. Skye was seriously confused, "But you just said-", Twilight stopped him, "Look, it's been a very long time since a nice human has been here, a lot of mares will 'get used to you' as it were" she said, "I was messing with you, it's fine" she finished.

Skye looked at his clothes, "Can you heal this, like you did my arm?" he asked. Twilight shook her head, "Unfortunately no, but Zecora could" she said. Skye laughed, "I've met her" he said. Twilight gleamed yet again, "Really?" she asked excitedly. Skye simply nodded, "Oh, and who was that mail-pony earlier?" he asked. He'd been trying to get her name for ages. Twilight stopped gleaming and concentrated, "Her name is Derpy Hooves, and she has a daughter called Dinky Doo" said Twilight. Skye looked at the book, "Like Daring Do?" he asked. Twilight agreed.

"How long was I out?" he asked. Twilight twitched, "Out?" she asked. Skye face palmed, "You know, unconscious?" he asked again. Twilight came to the realization and answered with, "About two days, it was a pretty bad injury, I mean, I would've definitely died if he hit me, but you almost killed yourself…" she trailed off and started to whimper. Skye put a hand on her shoulder and gently shook her, "Hey, it's alright Twilight, I'm fine, and I never would let anyone I care about get hurt" he said. Twilight looked shocked, "You truly care for me and my safety?" she asked. Skye was pleased they she finally trusted him, "Yes, I do, and if anything happens to you, Fluttershy or anyone else, I would blame myself" he said. Twilights tears became joyful.

Twilight sat in the chair the same way Fluttershy had and sat there for about twenty minutes, watching Skye read "Daring Do" and asking him what was happening. In the end, he just had to read it all aloud, which soon destroyed his voice. The book quickly finished as he read the last few lines, "Daring Do quickly passed the fire wall and the spike pit and out of the entrance to the cave, where she then jumped across the gauge, this was where she would finally reach the ruby and the lapis gauntlet. The end" he read. Twilight Smiled, "If you look on the spine of the book, it has a 1/2 symbol on it, therefore it is part one of two.

"Well, I wanna read part two, Twilight" he said. Twilight laughed, "Fear not, Skye, it'll probably be in the library" she said, "I'm sorry Skye, but I have to go now, I have a job to do" she said, and then she trotted off. Skye said goodbye and she left. The ponies were nicer than before, seeing that spark in Twilights eyes really helped him. He hoped that Applejack or Fluttershy would return, but they didn't, not for the rest of the day.

ELSEWHERE

"So, sister, is he alright, I heard he was wounded?" said a blue pony with wings and a horn, an Alicorn. She had the moon as her Cutie Mark. The white pony replies, "Yes, he is in the hospital, phase two is complete, and phase three is halfway done" she says.

BACK TO PONYVILLE

Fluttershy and Rainbow were flying along near a dirt road, near a huge red barn with white beams. "So, let me get this right. You… kissed a human?" said Rainbow Dash, appalled. Fluttershy nervously laughed, "I know it's wrong, but it was weird, it felt right" she answered. Rainbow Dash stopped and sighed, "Fluttershy, you know you can't be with a human, Celestia would not allow it" she said. Fluttershy flaps her wings furiously and flies off, moaning.

"Fluttershy, come back!" Rainbow Dash shouted, but she was too far away. Rainbow Dash decided to pay Rarity a visit. She waited until her job was over for today and then went inside. "Rarity, you wouldn't believe what the human did" she said. Rarity hadn't yet heard of the brave act of Skye. "Oh really, what did he do?" she asked, not really seeming to care. Rainbow Dash flew into her face, he saved Twilight's life from being killed by a pony with a spear" she said. Rarity stopped, "For a human, that's actually a good thing" she replied.

Rainbow Dash hadn't finished though, "The worst part is-", she said, before getting stopped, "She is okay, isn't she?" Rarity asked in shock. Rainbow Dash stopped her too, "Yeah, she's fine, but Skye, the human, got injured by the spear and is in hospital. Rarity looked at Rainbow Dash while using magic to clean up some things here and there, "Your point?" she asked. Rainbow Dash laughed, "His clothes are ruined, and you are the best boutique designer in Ponyville, you should help him. I know I would, but I've gotta go get rid of those clouds" said Rainbow Dash looking out of a window and leaving to clear clouds like she said.

BACK TO HOSPITAL

Skye was fast asleep, dreaming such wonderful dreams, when all of a sudden, he woke up. "Hello?" he asked. Surely someone was there; he wouldn't just wake up on his own. "Fluttershy?" he asked. No reply. But then Fluttershy does enter the room. "Hello Skye, I wanted to talk to you, because everypony I asked said that I couldn't get a coltfriend if I tried, so I tried to be with you, and I'm sorry. Skye stopped her by putting a single finger to her mouth, "Fluttershy, there is no need to be sorry. Remember when I wanted to ask you something the day I arrived?" he said. Fluttershy nodded, she was still a bit sad. "That's it; I wanted to ask you… out… like on a date, you are quite frankly, the cutest, most beautiful creature I think I have ever encountered. Fluttershy suddenly jumps up and kisses Skye on the lips, which he was not expecting.

A dark blue pony stepped into the small area, "Hello, human, my name is Luna. I'm here to guide you to friendship with the ponies, as I see you are well acquainted" she said. Skye sniggers, then coughs, "Erm, yeah, I just asked Fluttershy out on a date, I hope that isn't against any laws?" he said. Luna nodded, "Well, unfortunately, that is a law, but I might be able to get that changed" she said. Applejack enters too, "Skye, when you get better, I got a job to offer you, you know so you can get paid?" she said. Skye closes his eyes, "Goodness, one pony at a time" he said.

"Right, so, Luna, I will talk with you tomorrow morning, is that alright?" he asked her politely. Luna nodded. "Fluttershy, you know what" he mumbles and then looks at Applejack, "What job can you offer me?" he said. Applejack smiles, "Well, at Sweet Apple Acres, my home, Zap Apple season is coming up and I need all the help I can get, so will you help me, if you better that is?" she asked Skye. Skye holds out a hand and so does Applejack, a hoof, they shake. "It's a deal" said Skye, "But for now, I would like to get some rest please" he said.

Luna, Applejack and Fluttershy leave and Skye gets cosy in the duvet and snuggled up. There is nothing wrong with snuggling up at the age twenty one. He gets to sleep rather quickly by counting sheep, or in this case ponies, in his head and closed his eyes. He awakens in a dream to find that Ponyville is gone, and in its place there are only creatures that can be described as 'zombies' walking around. Skye struggles and again, falls out of his bed. "I gotta stop doing that" he said.
