I felt exhausted as I started stirring. My head was pounding something fierce, and my hooves were dangling over the ground as I moved. Something was moving me against my will while I was out. Trying to protest I grunted and hoped words would come out. Of course, it just came out as incoherent mumbles.

Once my eyes had started to adjust, I saw the familiar black dirt of the ruins, and a white coat I was laying on top of. It became obvious what was carrying me.

"Ugh..." I let out.

"Morning, sleeping beauty." Vinyl's voice came back to me.

"Wha- What happened?" I groaned.

"Beats me, I found you passed out. You've been out cold for nearly two days. I thought you died on me." She shrugged.

"I think I can walk..." I replied.

Taking that statement a bit too seriously, she dumped me onto the ground without warning then added. "Good, I'm tired of carrying your sorry ass."

With a grunt, I hit the ground. "Thanks... " I rubbed my side as I got onto my hooves.

“I had an odd dream… You all were there… It felt so… Real… Hell you weren’t a total cunt!” I informed.

“That’s how you know it was a dream” She slyly remarked.

I decided to change the subject before it got too awkward.

"What happened to the thief?" I inquired.

Her face contorted to the shape of annoyance as she responded. "Got away... I tried to stop her, but she was fast... Really fast. Hell she was faster than Rainbow Dash and up to this point I didn't think that was even possible."

Faster than Dash? Part of me had a hard time believing it too, had I not seen her for myself, that girl moved fast enough to not even be seen.

"Her abilities... Was she using..." Vinyl cut me off to finish my sentence.

"Magic? Yes. No doubt about it, that was magic. U.M.S.A.s can't do that, they're only meant to simulate magic for everyday life uses such as telekinesis. That pegasus had the full package... And what is more troubling is that was not some weak magic... I could sense it... It was... Tremendous strength." Vinyl actually looked concerned about this ordeal, which was an accomplishment to make her concerned.

"A pegasus that can use magic... Is that even possible?" I trotted faster to get right next to her.

Vinyl grew quiet and hesitated before answering. "Twilight once spoke of this ancient legend... Earth ponies and pegasi that could harness magic... It wasn't the same that you and I know though... No this was real magic. They could rip apart existence if they wanted. Their abilities can touch upon the stream of existence itself... They were close to god-like status with their powers..."

"Sounds dangerous..." I commented, uncertain of what I could add.

"They are only a legend though... Nopony has actually seen one." She halted in her tracks and turned to face me. I stopped and waited for her. "Let's not tell Twilight about this, alright?"

My brow rose. "She's the leader of the Equestrian military. Don't you think this might be important information to her?"

"Probably, but you're not going to tell her. If you care about what's good for Equestria that is." She had a very threatening tone.

Now she was starting to sound like she was speaking in riddles. "I don't follow..."

Vinyl sighed and placed a hoof on my shoulder. My eyes fell onto that hoof before returning to her face. Her sunglasses seemed almost opaque. Even at this close, it was impossible to see her eyes through them. "Flare, Twilight is a knowledge fiend. She will get obsessed with trying to find this ability to use against the darkness. She will ignore everything to pursue it. Twilight only thinks in probability and statistics. She will see every sacrifice as worth it to get to this power."

I suppose Vinyl and Twilight's history was extensive. Still, was Twilight really like that? If so, then it was no wonder that Vinyl didn't like her that much.

Vinyl got closer and placed her other hoof on my shoulder. "Listen to me: we can not allow her to become enthralled in such a mad quest. The casualties from it would be devastating. For now we must keep this a secret between the two of us. Promise me that you won't utter a single word of this to anypony, especially Twilight." She was nearly shaking me as she gripped me.

"I..." She grew serious and cut me off.

"What is it going to take to keep your mouth shut? I can get you a place to stay in Canterlot where you'll live quite handsomely, hell I could get you into the Rainbow Raiders even..." She was throwing offers at me before I could even respond.

"No, I..." She cut me off again.

"What then? Sex? Pick any mare you want, I'll bring them to you. Hell if you want, I'll turn around for you right now." She was machine gunning out more and more offers.

My face turned a bit red at that suggestion. "No, if you'd let me finish..." She paused and loosened her grip. "I was going to say all of that is unnecessary. I won't say anything, promise. If I break that promise you can kill me."

Vinyl released my shoulders and let her hooves fall back onto the ground with an awkward expression. "You are not a very good deal maker, you know that?"

"Bargaining is not within my small list of abilities..." I admitted sheepishly.

She nodded and offered her hoof. "Shake on it then." Of course I took the hoof and gripped it in my own. I had no reason to break that promise. Vinyl was right, we couldn't let Twilight get wrapped up in that if we wanted Equestria to survive.

With a shake she grinned. "Heh, good thing you stopped me there, I was about to drop my belt off and let you take me." She laughed it off so casually.

"I... Err..." I just looked away trying to avoid eye contact (despite her eyes always being hidden.)

She laughed as she released my hoof. "I bet you wouldn't even know what to do with it if you ever got it anyways."

I shrugged ignoring the fact she went from bargaining with me right to insulting me. I guess it meant she took my word for it because she was quite confident that I wouldn't go back on my words. "You may be right there..."

She sighed and placed a hoof around me as we walked. "Flare, when we get back drinks are on me, and maybe we can make a stallion out of you."

I smiled. "Alright, but mom says I have to be home before it gets dark." I joked.

She let out a hearty laugh. "I don't think I've ever seen you try and have a sense of humor. It's much more appealing than that always serious personality of yours."

"You must be rubbing off on me." That was a scary thought.

Our return was met with some shock, except from Twilight who more or less greeted us with a bit of concern. She looked us over and shook her head at Vinyl. "Not even Cloudsdale was enough to kill you, huh?" She sighed. It was hard to tell if she was being serious or not, even with Vinyl laughing at it, considering Vinyl was known for laughing at death itself. Twilight and her may just share an odd sense of humor, or she really was hoping Vinyl would die.

"We got your archives." Vinyl tossed the block with the data on it over to the general. Twilight caught it in a light magenta aura.

"Thank you, lieutenant." She smiled as she brought the object close to herself. "This could prove quite valuable." She seemed a bit too excited over it. Something told me that Twilight knew more than she let on. "It'll take some time to go through it, but I'll have our research team working on it night and day. What of the element though?"

I was about to speak when Vinyl interrupted. "Gone. Wasn't there."

Twilight sighed and nodded. "Very well... As promised though, Flare you may join the Knights of Celestia. You've come at an opportune time, however we won't have time to properly train you. Besides I have a better way of doing that available now." Her face lit up with a grin. It was very creepy to see that eye of hers combined with a smile on her face. I imagine that thing gave some ponies nightmares.

"And what would that be?" I questioned.

"Me." Dash's voice rung from behind me. She trotted to the front and took a seat next to Twilight.

The general nodded quite happily. "Yes, you will be side by side with Rainbow Dash, as by her request. She said she would rather be the one to watch over you."

My eyes scrunched as I tried to think. "But I thought you quit the military, Dash...?"

She nodded. "Yes, however there is business left to take care of. I made a promise to Trixie that I would be the one to get her, and it's seven years late, but I intend to keep that promise. We'll get Trixie, then we're out of here. I want nothing else to do with this war." Rainbow explained.

She really hated Trixie that much, enough to go back to the military.

"And the Rainbow Raiders?" I quizzed.

"You're one of them now. You answer to Vinyl from now on. I’m not actually in the Raiders anymore." Vinyl snickered as Rainbow said that and ruffled my mane a bit.

"Looks like you're stuck with me, kid." She teased.

That wasn't exactly the news I wanted to hear, however being in the Rainbow Raiders wasn't something I was expecting. I only dreamed of getting into the military, never had I imagined that I would be able to fight alongside Rainbow Dash.

"From this moment on, you're Corporal Flare, and you're going to be my project looks like. Shouldn't be too big of a change considering I already have been taking care of you up to this point." Rainbow added.

I gave a salute. "I won't let you down."

"Don't promise things you can't do, Corporal. Let's just focus on getting Trixie and getting me home. After we get her, I already told Twilight that I am done here." She looked over at Twilight who nodded.

"Although we would appreciate your services longer, after Trixie is apprehended the bulk of our work should be taken care of. Trixie is one of their main agents and without her we should see a significant decline in their strategic abilities. Not to mention we can get her to reveal information that would cripple the enemy." Twilight explained as she stood up.

Something told me Trixie wouldn't just tell them for no reason. "After you catch her, how are you going to get her to squeal?" I questioned.

Vinyl placed her hoof around my neck and pulled me closer. "We'll shove a cattle prod up her snatch." She chimed in.

Elegant as always she was.

"You mean... Torture her?"

Twilight looked a bit to the side, obviously not liking the motion stated out loud, but not able to deny it either. "If it comes to that..." She had a very quiet tone. Obviously ashamed, but not turning back.

"You would... Do that...?" I was a little in shock, but I knew I shouldn't be very surprised at this point. Twilight could be quite ruthless, and after all Trixie has done, it was obvious that nopony would show any kind of remorse to her.

Twilight lifted her head proudly as she spoke. "We would do what was ever necessary for Equestria. I do not like the idea myself, but if she refuses to cooperate, then we must force her to. Her punishment thereafter will be determined by how well she cooperates."

"I didn't think you were like that... I thought you wanted to do what was right..." I couldn't believe I was actually debating this with her.

She scoffed and grunted as she turned away. "Spend some time on the battlefield, my friend. You'll soon find what seems right to you will change."

Before I could even reply she was taking her leave and Dash began to escort me out. "Twilight is throwing a ball for you. She was impressed that a little Skyvale colt was able to brave Cloudsdale. It's happening tonight in the lower castle." She informed as we approached the door.

I wanted to ask her more about the conversation I just had with Twilight, but she had already changed the subject; no doubt on purpose. I guessed it would have to wait for another day. "A ball, huh?"

She nodded. "Yeah kind of like in highschool when you go to the prom, but fancier."

I bowed my head. "I never went... I was up in Skyvale that whole time..."

She frowned but pat my shoulder. "Well, then this will be an exciting new experience for you."

I bit my lip afraid to ask what I was going to ask next. Gathering up some courage I let it out as casually as I could, though it still came off awkward. "Would you be my date then?"

She paused and blinked. I guessed I surprised her with that one. It was clear Dash wasn't the romantic type, so date offers probably always struck her as random and bizarre.

"I..." She paused again and looked at me. Her eyes studied mine for a moment before her face grew a smile. "I'd love to, Flare."

"How do I look?" I glanced to Pinkamena from the mirror as I adjusted my suit. I had never worn one before in my entire life, so I was still uncertain if I was even wearing it right.

Adjusting her earrings, the Gothic dressed mare sighed and trotted over to fix my tie. With a grunt as she tightened it, I tried not to look directly at her. "You know it's just a celebration romeo. I've been to many in my life, and you're more nervous than any stallion I've ever seen."

Part of me had forgotten she used to throw parties for a living, probably because I tried to not let my thoughts focus on Dr. Pie too often.

"I am just trying to look decent. I mean Dash is a very important pony, and she is going with a nopony like me. I at least want to look like I am not some kid..." I sighed.

Pinkamena shook her head. "You are a kid though. Need I remind you that Dash is several years your senior?"

"It's not like that... It's just... She's my hero..." I blushed admitting it.

Pinkamena had no response. She instead continued to adjust my suit in silence. I was a bit surprised she had nothing to say to that.

"Pinkamena? Did you hear me?" I asked.

She nodded. "I heard you, I just chose not to comment. I don't really want to be the bearer of bad news today."

Part of me was interested in what she meant, but another part of me just wanted to pretend I didn't hear her in the first place. The latter won that fight. I knew better than to entertain my curiosity when Pinkamena was involved. There were things about her that one would rather not know.

"We have to make a stop on the way there, alright?" She informed as she finished. I merely nodded to answer her. Shooting back a smile she added another comment. "Better be careful, all the girls are going to be after you tonight, Mr. Hero."

I found that hard to believe.

The building we had stopped at looked like some kind of bakery. My thoughts turned right to the old story she had told me some days ago. I prayed these were not the same bakers as before. My prayers were not answered.

Knocking on the door, we were met with an orange stallion. His pupils expanded as he took in the pink mare at his doorstep. He took a step back and reached behind the door, supposedly getting his weapon. Once he had strapped it on, he pointed it directly at her head. Pinkamena just blew a strand of her mane out of her face. Calm as always I guess.

"I thought we said you weren't welcome here." He threatened.

Pinkamena took a step forward and allowed the barrel to touch her forehead. "Then shoot me." She grinned as he twitched. "However you'd be violating royal decree. Twilight has ordered I be preserved for my technical knowledge. So if you are prepared to explain it to her, then go ahead."

Damn was she confident.

"We don't want any trouble. What do you want?" The stallion held his weapon firm, trying to not show any fear. Such a thing was pointless with Pinkamena, she could smell fear from a mile away.

"Just to reminisce in old memories and see the family." Her tone was very sincere, however the moment he started quivering a bit, she laughed and retracted the statement. "Nah, I'm kidding. I didn't come for you, I left something here that I need to pick up. Something you have carried for me without even knowing about it."

He looked puzzled. "We moved though... This isn't Sugar Cube Corner anymore, how are you certain we still have this thing?"

"Oh, I am positive you took it with you. I hid it in a place where you'd never think to look." She smirked as she pushed him out of the way to let herself in.

Entering, we were greeted by what I assumed to be Mrs. Cake whom had her children huddled close to her as she held another firearm. "Oh please, don't try to intimidate me with empty threats, Mrs. Cake. I know you're not going to shoot me, so why not just put that thing down? I will be out of your mane in a bit anyways. I am just going to pick up what I came for, and I'll be out." Pinkamena trotted into the backrooms, with me following. Mr. And Mrs. Cake stayed close by but kept enough distance for safety as they stood at the door frame.

Pinkamena was hunched over a rather large alligator resting in a pet bed that was clearly too small for him. She smiled as she reached down and pet his skull. "Hey old friend. It's been a long time hasn't it?" The creature certainly recognized his master. He rubbed his head against her hoof.

"I knew you'd keep this safe for me." She reached around his neck and detached the collar and checked the dangling emblem with a grin. "Perfect... Its still here."

"What is it?" I questioned, getting not to get too close to the swamp monster.

"A backup of all my research. Now I can continue where I left off." She smiled and looked down at the alligator. "Sorry, Gummy. You belong to Mr. And Mrs. Cake now. They'll take good care of you. Mommy has to go away, and I doubt she'll be coming back." She gave him another pet.

This reminded me of the night in the factory. Pinkamena was capable of being motherly, and it was clear that behind her tough exterior, there was still a pony in there. I looked back at the Cakes who were only looking with disgust and an expression that suggested they wanted her out quickly.

I could not stay silent any longer. "You ponies make me sick..." I growled.

The family gave me a confused expression. "This girl was family to you at one point! And you just abandoned her!" I shouted.

"That girl terrorized us..." Mr. Cake defended.

"Boo hoo! She was mentally unsound, what did you do to help?! Nothing! A girl who spent her whole life being told her way is wrong, and instead of trying to guide her to the right path, you just abandon her..." The group remained silent now, uncertain of how to respond. Taking a short approach, I brought my face to Mr. Cake's. "When she needed you most, you ran away. You're too scared to help, so you just run like the cowards you are."

Mr. Cake tried to take a step back, but I advanced so we were back at the same position as before. "You see a monster? Well then good, because it's a monster you helped create. This girl was abandoned by everypony that saw who she really was. After going through that..." I turned to see Pinkamena just watching quietly. "Well, its no wonder she turned out this way. So take a good look, because that is your creation."

Pinkamena took my hoof and jerked her head to the door. "It's best we go now..." She hinted.

I decided to do exactly that before I ripped them apart more. "Yes... I think that would be best."

Making our leave, I gave them a deathly glare as we exited.

As expected, Pinkamena had nothing to say about what just happened. I'd come to expect that from her at this point.

"How do I look?" I questioned a rather formal Twilight sitting at the bar.

This was the first time I had ever seen her out of her military fittings. The glasses were a nice touch. Rainbow was right; she did look like an egghead.

"Well, someone sure is nervous. I take it you've never been on a date before?" She teased as she stirred her drink, probably non-alcoholic. Twilight didn't strike me as one who turned to the bottle to solve her problems, not like Dash anyways.

'More like I am going to be dancing with the greatest hero Equestria has ever seen, but no I haven't." I replied.

She pointed. "Looks like your dream mare is here." She certainly was enjoying the teasing.

I approached through the crowd to come face to face with an elegant mare. Her multicolored dress matched her mane so well. Atop of her head was a ribbon tied on both sides of her mane. It was brushed and cleaned, and she was even wearing some eyeliner I could see. She attempted to cover up the scar on her face with some blue makeup, though it was still noticeable.

"I... I..." I was stuttering already.

She smiled and offered her hoof. "You cleaned up nice." She complimented as I took her hoof in my own.

We allowed our back hooves to hold us as we slowly moved into a gentle dance. "Your eyes..." I commented as one of my hooves touched under them.

"Years of insomnia." She admitted looking down a bit. "Hard to cover that up with just make up."

My hoof moved to her cheek. My voice grew to a near whisper. "Are you in pain?"

Her gaze came back to me and her hoof rested atop of my own as we stepped together. "Not right now." She cracked a small smile. It was so nice to see her smiling.

A rather well dressed Vinyl trotted over to the bar, not quite at a stagger yet because she didn't have much drink in her just yet. She aimed to correct that problem. Free alcohol was never passed up by a mare like her. Back home they would drink at the young age of sixteen, so she was naturally conditioned to have a high tolerance. When Vinyl was drunk, she was really drunk.

Plopping down into the stool next to her superior she quickly ushered for the bartender to pass her two shots of vodka. He did so without much thought before returning to his other customers. Vinyl downed both with ease and looked over to Twilight sitting next to her.

The purple unicorn was busy going through data on her PDA, and didn't seem to have much interest in this party, despite putting it on herself.

Vinyl frowned and sighed before gesturing for the bartender to come back. He did so curiously and leaned in to hear her better. "Hey, how about a drink for the nice lady next to me? She looks like she could use it."

Twilight realizing what was happening spoke up. "Huh, oh no thank you. I don't drink."

"Well, that's half your problem right there, One-eye. You're too tense, you should relax a little, it's a party after all." Vinyl took the new drink and passed it to her.

Twilight shook her head. "First of all, I have told you many times that I detest that name. Second of all, you have no idea what kind of burden I am under being the leader. It's not as easy as you think it is. It's constant pressure, and it's a twenty-four hour job." She spoke in a very matter-of-a-fact tone.

"Fine, but why not just forget all of that for one night? Stop being the big important general for a few hours and start being Twilight..." She emphasized her name.

Twilight bit her lip but nodded and took the drink. "What do you call this anyways?"

"Well that looks like it's just a shot of whiskey. Here' I'll do one with you." She ushers for another.

"Well... I suppose just one wouldn't hurt..."

Getting hers, Vinyl raised her glass. "That's the spirit. Back where I come from, this is the weak stuff. I used to drink this when I was fifteen."

Twilight tapped her glass to Vinyl's. "Sounds like a very... Interesting place..."

"Bottoms up." Vinyl said as she poured her drink down her throat, Twilight doing so seconds after, followed by coughing and Vinyl laughing.

"Bleck... It tastes like... I don't know... But it's awful!" She wretched.

Vinyl smirked and laughed. "Oh come on you lightweight. I used to take a glass of wine with my dinner when I was seven."

Twilight hacked and coughed again before rubbing her eyes. "No offense, but perhaps you had a screwed up childhood?"

Vinyl shrugged. "Beats me. My mother was a good mare though. She worked two jobs to keep food on the table, never raised a hoof to me either. Hell, I remember her going to the school a lot to fight them about the crap that went on there. The lady was a saint."

Twilight blinked and sat up straight. "She certainly sounds like a wonderful woman."

"She was." Vinyl smiled.

An hour later, the two had put at least three more drinks in them, and had spent the night talking.

"So, being general, what's that like?" Vinyl asked with a look of genuine interest.

Twilight frowned as she took another drink. “Stressful.”

“Well you have to put up with me, so that’s no surprise.” Vinyl chuckled as she downed her entire glass. She could put away enough alcohol to be a keg.

“There are a lot more stressful things that I have to deal with besides you. You’re not so bad anyways.” Twilight rolled her eyes.

“I’m flattered. I mean you’re wrong in me not being so bad, but I’m flattered nonetheless.” She grins as she leaned in.

Twilight felt a small blush across her cheeks. Vinyl scooted her seat closer and let her voice get rather low. “Hey… What’s the royal quarters look like?”

The purple unicorn’s face started to glow brighter with a blush. A bit nervously, she gave an answer. “Why not come see it for yourself?”

Vinyl smirked as she offered her hoof to be guided. Twilight took it and guided the two up and out of the ballroom. Making their way down the halls of the castle, Vinyl observed the scenery; she had only seen the areas that the soldiers and civilians were permitted to enter, that and Twilight’s office. She had never seen the living quarters of the castle, or even the servants’ area.

Just outside of a room marked “Twilight” on the door, the general turned to her lieutenant with a serious expression. Vinyl blinked at the sudden action. “Hm?” She tilted her head in confusion. To this, Twilight pressed her against the wall and planted a kiss upon her lips. Taken by surprise, Vinyl took a second or two to react. Giving in, she allowed a hoof to dig into Twilight’s tidy mane.

Breaking the kiss, Twilight stroked the former DJ’s cheek affectionately. “Vinyl… Can I ask you something?”

“Hm?” Said Vinyl, whom was still a bit dazed from the sudden kiss.

“Can you take off those stupid glasses?” Twilight smiled as she continued to pet her cheek.

Vinyl nodded and levitated her signature sunglasses off of her face and into her pocket on her jacket. “Better?” She smiled revealing her bright red eyes to the mare.

Twilight was a bit stunned as she found herself staring. “Y-your eyes… They’re… They’re…”

“Red, I know.” Vinyl answered.

“Beautiful…” Twilight corrected.

Vinyl certainly had never heard that compliment before, however she was going to roll with it regardless.

“Why do you hide them with those glasses?” Twilight found herself leaning closer to stare into them better.

“Two reasons, the first being I have very sensitive eyes.” Vinyl smiled as she let the mare do whatever she desired.

“And the second?”

Vinyl grew a familiar perverted grin. “If I walked around like this all the time, mares like you would have to walk around with their hind legs pressed together.”

Twilight’s blush only grew as she pulled the mare in for another kiss.

That next morning, Twilight awoke with a large yawn and somewhat of a headache. She didn’t recall much of anything from last night. It all seemed like a big blur to her; however the only thought on her mind right now was getting some aspirin for her headache.

Letting her eyes adjust, she noticed a second lump under the covers of her bed. Curiously, she lifted them up to see a white unicorn curled up under them. Her wild blue mane was a mess, though her coat was not much better.

Twilight’s mind snapped to reality when she saw the double quaver on the mare’s flank. Once that happened she screamed and pushed her out of the bed entirely.

Hitting the floor with a thud, Vinyl groaned and grunted as she got herself up and looked for her glasses. Locating them, she placed them right back on her face as she rubbed where she hit the floor. “Well good morning to you too, princess...”

“You didn’t… WE DIDN’T!?” Twilight was still trying to grasp what was happening.

“You know, most ponies don’t kick me out of the bed after I make them squeal like that…” Vinyl yawned.

“WHAT!? NO! WE DIDN’T… Did we…?” Twilight pulled the covers over her muzzle a bit embarrassed.

“No need to be so embarrassed. You weren’t bad for a virgin. Hell, I didn’t think you could eat ca-“ Vinyl was cut off by Twilight throwing a pillow at her.

“NO NO NO NO! GET OUT NOW!” She screamed.

Vinyl rolled her eyes as she lit a cigarette. “Oh come on, last night you were all over me, now suddenly I’m disgusting again?”

“I was saving myself for marriage…” Twilight admitted as she was almost in tears.

“Yeeaaaah… That’s not happening now.” Vinyl laughed a bit.

“GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY ROOM, VINYL! OR SO HELP ME, I WILL HAVE YOU COURT MARTIALED FASTER THAN YOU CAN BLINK! GET THE FUCK OUT!” Twilight screamed at full volume.

Vinyl rubbed her ear and nodded. “Sheesh, no need to yell.” She shrugged and took her leave, closing the door behind her as she had her clothes from the other night in hoof. She took another puff of her cigarette and turned to Rainbow Dash who was standing next to the door waiting for her.

“I didn’t think you’d be able to pull it off…” Dash admitted.

Vinyl laughed and began to walk with the multi-colored mare. “Get a few drinks in anypony and their standards lower significantly.”

Rainbow nodded. “I think that should keep Twilight freaked out for a while. My little ‘present’ for dragging me back into this war… That and her attitude with me as of late.”

The DJ grinned as she finished her cigarette. “Yup. Like I said, anytime you want to get back at Twilight, I am all for that.”

“Only thing I want to know… Did you actually…?” Dash rose a brow in question.

Vinyl smirked. “What do you think?”

Rolling her eyes, Dash started walking a bit faster, Vinyl picking up the pace to keep up. “You’re sick.” Dash commented.

“How am I sick?” Vinyl questioned.

“You’re a sex addicted pig.” Dash looked away from the mare.

The two continued bickering back and forth as they wandered off back to their quarters.
