As we walked through the prison, I noticed one particular pony missing, the same pony I'd came here to rescue. I had to go back to the cell block, only to see that my fears have been confirmed. Lemon Wedge's cell was still closed, him sitting inside, shaking, eyes wide open, terrified. I opened his cell, and tried to get a few words to him. "What's wrong?" I asked, wondering what he might say next. He replied with quiet, uneven breathing, it almost seemed like he was cold. I had to force him to get up.

This wasn't a normal prison, I could tell. This must have been a base of operations. There wasn't a reason for all of these guards, and why the ponies were locked up. I began reading the signs, as I forced Lemon to walk with me. I saw a sign that said "Arena" and another that said "Contestants" that was pointing towards the cell block. They were using us for entertainment. I couldn't move, I was stopped by the sudden jolt of Lemon sitting down, staring at the arena. It was then that he spoke.

"I-I killed..." he could hardly get his word out, as he started sobbing between sentences, "I killed Pipsqueak..." Pipsqueak, who loved Luna, who grew to be a very large person, despite his name, was killed by Lemon? This amazed me beyond belief. I guess Lemon was tougher than he looked, like his dad said. I didn't believe him when he said his son was tough, but I guess it was true. He killed Pipsqueak.

That must be why he didn't talk, or move, or do anything. There wasn't anything I could do. He's scarred for life, he won't respond to anything. He'll starve if I don't try to do anything. I'll have to carry him out. He was amazingly light for his size, I guess he hasn't eaten in a while. I just wish there was something I could do right now.

Chapter 9

I caught up with the group, they all gave me a certain look. A look that said "Why would you pick some crazy guy up?" I'm afraid that's exactly what I did. Lemon will never be the same. His parents will be expecting the same Lemon that they always had, but that's not the case. Lemon Wedge, who was a good friend to me, is gone. He was one of my few friends, and the only friend I had at school.

We got outside of the prison, only to be greeted by the ruler of the dragons, the one who started this war. He blew out a large fire wall, blocking our path. "Good luck getting out, my little ponies," he said in a deep, earth shaking voice, "I've got you surrounded." I saw a look on Fluttershy's face, as she motioned towards a purple unicorn, who's name I've never gotten in the prison. Applejack told me her name was Twilight Sparkle. Twilight got up, used magic on the fire, and it died down.

We moved forward, with a look in our eyes, letting the dragon know we're not going to stop for anything. We knew what we were getting ourselves in to. We were going to have to fight this dragon, all ponies versus this one dragon. The odds were against him, but I still expected to lose this fight. I know that ponies will fall to their doom, in this concrete prison that he calls his own.

The fight began, many ponies died. It was a horrific sight, blood everywhere. Ponies with broken legs lying on the ground, screaming out of pain and terror, tears running down their frightened faces. The plan I won't work out, with all of the ponies scattering around, not knowing what to do. I motioned towards Fluttershy, who knew exactly what to do. She got the Mane Six (which is what I was told they were in the stories mom told me) and the carnage began.

Chapter 10

Twilight used her magic, and stunned the dragon. Applejack got ropes, and threw them over the dragon. Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy tightened the ropes down. Rarity and Applejack tied the ropes tightly, so the dragon stayed in place. Fluttershy was able to negotiate with the dragon, in what I like to call her "mother mode." I saw the fear in the dragon's eyes as Fluttershy's voice got louder, I knew that it was working.

"Okay! I'll stop! I'll stop!!!" I heared the dragon yell, completely out of fear of Fluttershy. It amazed me, really, that a shy pony like Fluttershy could actually tame a dragon. I couldn't help but to smile. Pinkie Pie was next to me, with her hair poofy again, laughing on her back. The plan had worked, we won the war. The ponies at the front line couldn't do this. I felt proud of myself.

Life returned to it's normal state in Equestria. I had to take Lemon to Twilight and have her use some magic to make him forget that he killed Pipsqueak. The Wedge family was happy to get Lemon back. The Applebuck family was happy to have Applejack and I back. The looks on their faces as they saw me walk up with Applejack were priceless! I wish I could have taken a picture, but that was the last thing on my mind. I was glad to be home.

I think about this as I look up to the sky. No matter what, my life would never be the same. I always kept a chin up where ever I went. I was thankful to be alive, the sky cleared up, and my depression is gone. My family was happy, as they watched me walk through the house, with a large smile on my face. I was able to talk to Aunt Applejack, who is surprisingly a lot like me. Now, I look up at the sky, a large smile on my face, eyes glistening with happyiness, loving life. I'll never be the same.

The End.

This took me four days to write... one hour per day. Now my brain hurts.
