The fallen soldier

Chapter 99999900000000+

I'm thinking of writing a one chapter long romance story, do you think I could pull it off? I'll let you guys choose the female!

( I'd say male, but I don't do that kinda stuff. )

THE NEXT DAY

Your eyes fluttered open, a yawn escaped your lips. You sat up and stretched, groaning in satisfaction. You smacked your lips together, your throat was slightly parched, and you can't simply get water from the sink like you did at Twilight's.

You threw the blankets off your person and hopped off the bed. You approached the balcony doors and pushed the curtain aside, allowing sunlight to pour in the room. Adding a sense of warmth to your face. You squinted and looked off into the distance, your eyes focusing on Ponyville.

You thought about the reaction Twilight had, maybe she was understanding and let you do your own thing. She was the worrying type, and while you're flattered when she's worried about you, you're a 29 year old man who is perfectly capable of watching after himself.

You yawned again and tried to scratch yourself, only to feel your hand scrape against metal. You frowned at this, but shrugged and turned to exit your bedroom. As you walked toward the door, you glanced at the bed and thought about how comfortable it was. You thought about buying one, then considered how expensive it is.

Plus, you don't plan to stay much longer. If this Spaceship in Griffonia is real, then you have a high chance in riding it outa here. It's defenses are still working so. . . Someone has to be on the ship or . . Hell, you'll take a something. Maybe it's being controlled by some Artificial intelligence? Or maybe someone turned the defenses on and never turned them off?

You're willing to bet on the Artificial intelligence, it's the most logical theory, seeing as it's not exactly rare to see large ships with out some kind of AI helping run things. You've personally worked with AI programs before.

And having a voice in your head isn't so bad when it's actually funny and keeps you alive by studying the surrounding area. The human can keep focus on the fight, while the AI gives feedback on Health statistics and constant updates on the Motion Tracker.

It also works as a darn good conversationalist, you know. . . For those lonely times. Morale has been noted to be much higher when paired with a AI.

"Mr. Anderson!" Called a unknown female voice.

You turned and faced the person who interrupted your thought process. A woman dressed in a maid outfit called out to you.

"Mr. Anderson! You're awake!" The woman ran up to you.

You grumbled and stuck a finger in your ear, "Yeah I am, but not fully, so please lower the volume." You pulled your finger out and flicked it behind you.

The woman stopped a few feet from you, "My apologies! I was just asked to retrieve you for breakfast!"

You waved a hand at her and walked past her, "Message delivered, your assignment is complete, now please return to your station and await further orders."

The maid had a confused expression, then she smiled and saluted, "Sir yes sir!" She called out.

By time you realized what you did, the maid already marched off down the hallway, disappearing behind a wall. You stared at the empty hallway, grumbled something old guys grumble, then turned and set off for the kitchen.

You greeted the two guards protecting the door and walked through, you wasn't stopped this time. You closed the doors behind you and faced the two princess's sitting at their unnecessarily long table.

Both had elegant meals lying before them, they greeted you and insisted you pick any seat. You sat in the middle, Celestia on your right, Luna on your left. You stared at the wall in front of you, before clearing your throat, catching both princess's attention.

"I get food right? Or do I just watch you two eat your's?" You smirked and switched between looking at them both.

Celestia smiled and chuckled, Luna just smiled a wee bit. Celestia clapped her hands together, moments later, a butler walked out from the back with a covered up palate in hand. He walked beside you and placed the dome in front of you, he pulled the lid off and mumbled, "Bon appétit."

You didn't recognize the phrase but opted to simply say "thanks."

The butler smiled and walked away, disappearing behind the kitchen doors. You turned your focus to the bowl in front of you, it was salad. Celestia must've noticed the slight frown on your face.

"Does the meal not fit your requirements?" She asked, dabbing at her mouth with a napkin.

"It's not that, this salad is pretty fucking delicious." You froze at your slip-up. "Hehe, I mean it's pretty delicious. . "

Luna chuckled and took a bite of her food, she glanced at Celestia, who simply smiled.

"Tell us about yourself." Celestia suddenly asked.

"Oh. . Um what do you wanna know? I'm an open book but a few pages has been torn out and locked in a safe."

"Hmm, would you mind talking about your family?" Luna chipped in.

"Are you looking for anything specific?" You reply.

"No, speak of your parents if you wish, or any sibling's." Luna bit into her meal.

"Well, I'm a only child, parents didn't want anymore than one. And my dad was a soldier, he served for a long time, eventually getting injured and getting assigned a office job. He didn't like it, but he was a loyal man, he'd fight till his last breath." Your father's face flashed across your thoughts.

"Is he alive?" Celestia asked.

"Afraid not, he passed in his sleep." You looked down at your plate.

"I'm terribly sorry to hear that, a deceased family member is never easy to cope with." Celestia replied.

Luna replied with, "You have my condolences, your father sounded like a great man."

A sad expression flashed across your face as you chuckled weakly, "Yeah, he was always pushing me to go beyond my limits."

The dining area went quiet, then Celestia asked.

"What of your mother?"

You replied with, "Engineering accident, crushed by a piston."

Both princess's replied with, "Oh my."

"Her death was painless compared to the others, a fire broke out afterwards and trapped several men, women, and even children in a room. One child was saved and I heard he was sent off to the adoption agency after his family was killed by the same fire."

You stared at the salad in front of you, your appetite suddenly gone.

Celestia looked at Luna, who simply frowned and shrugged.

Attempting to dig yourself out of your metaphorical grave, you decided to mention something else.

"My childhood wasn't that bad, my parents were kind and gentle. I was popular in school and I had several girlfriends, none of them lasted long though. Mary is an exception, but she's a part of my life I'd like to forget."

You poked at your salad, then stood up.

"It was. . . Lovely chatting with you both. If you don't mind, I'm going to head back to Ponyville today, feel free to call me back if there's anything you need done. I'm also expecting to hear more on that ship in Griffiona."

With that, you turned and left, your mood for the day diminished.

You returned to your room and fetched your things, you immediately left castle grounds and walked through town. Your expression scared anyone who dared to approach you, you found yourself at the train station within moments.

Time seemed to fly as you thought about your family, you refused to not speak of them, even if it ruined your mood. Your past is something you'll never deny, you've done bad shit, and you're man enough to confess to it.

You joined the military in honor of your father, and when your mother passed, you signed up for engineering classes, intent on learning why your mother found it so intriguing.

Your parents live on through you, and they always will, till your last breath.

This, you swear.

The train ride was boring as hell, your positive-ish mood was slowly returning. You paid for another 3rd class ticket and sat in the far back. You watched the scenery roll by, you sighed and closed your eyes, a memory unwantingly returning.

You remember the crowded docking station, it was a Sunday and several ships arrived to pick up all the recruits. Family's were here to wish their children best of luck, your parents were there like any other.

You remember the tears rolling down your mothers face as she hugged you for the millionth time, while insisting you video chat with her everyday.

You remember rolling your eyes and hugging back, while claiming you'll call every now and then.

You remember shaking your father's hand, then giving him a surprise hug, which he returned.

You remember walking away while waving at your parents.

You remember the proud look on your father's face as he watched you board the ship.

You remember watching your mother bursting in tears as soon as the glass doors closed.

You remember nodding to you father one last time before being shoved into a cramped ship with 11 other people.

You remember the man you sat by, he ended up being a great friend during training.

You remember the immeasurable sense of independence you had as soon as the ship took off towards your destination.

You remember her-

"We have arrived at Ponyville! Please make sure you have everything if you're exiting the train! And thank you for choosing the Equestrian Train service!" The intercom behind you announced.

You shot up from the seats you were laying on, you felt something wet travel down your neck and you reached up and wiped it away. It was drool, you drooled on yourself while you slept.

"God dammit. . ." You looked around to see if anyone noticed you drooling.

The train cart was pretty much empty not considering the women and her child sitting in the front. You sighed and quickly grabbed your stuff from the cabinets above, you quickly exited the train.

The doors closed a few seconds later and the train was already halfway across the world. You turned and breathed the fresh country air. Ponyville didn't have the 'high-and-mighty' society that Canterlot had. The people here wasn't judging your every step and article of clothing.

You jumped down the steps and set sail for Twilights Treehouse. . . Though you didn't take a mere 5 steps before a pink force slammed into you. You grunted and skidded back a bit, your hands twitched and reached out to grab the attacker by the throat.

You stopped yourself and frowned, "Pinkie, what did I tell you about doing that!? I almost hurt you again!"

Pinkie simply smiled and shined her puppy dog eyes, "You wouldn't hurt little ol' me now would you?"

You grunted and looked away, "God dammit pinkie, I also told you to not to get so close whenever you wear shirts like that."

Pinkie was currently wearing a tank top, it barely kept everything that was 'Pinkie' in.

Pinkie simply smiled again and pressed her self against you more, she smiled and stood on her tippy toes, she blew into your ear and giggled when your face turned a bright red.

"Alrighty, that's enough Pinkie, go do that shit to some other guy!" You grabbed Pinkie and showed off your strength by picking her up and placing her beside you.

You restarted you journey to Twilight's place.

Pinkie skipped beside you and said, "Come on Andy! Say it! Say it! Say what you always say!"

Your eyebrow twitched and you sighed, "if I say it, will you go bother someone else?"

Pinkie shook her head and smiled.

You sighed before nonchalantly saying, "You're just too sexy."

Pinkie's face had a very faint blush as she giggled.

"That's so sweet of you! Hehe!" Then she bounded off.

You glanced at her disappearing figure and sighed . . Again. You wondered how this first started.

Oh . . Right.

You've got the balls of a cyborg T-Rex hopped up on Cocaine, so you suffer no embarrassment whenever it comes to confessing something to a female. One example of this is when you outright called all 6 of your female friends sexy.

Yes, you looked every single one of them in eyes and said, "I hang out with incredibly sexy women, I can't blame a guy for being jealous."

Now Pinkie and Rainbow like to playfully flaunt their stuff, they have some sort of challenge or something. To get you to blush.

Fluttershy was apart of this challenge once, she tried to nibble at your ear or something. She ended up falling on you, apologizing, then running away with a bright red face.

You actually laughed, then felt instantly bad, then kinda angry. You were angry because you thought Rainbow and Pinkie made Fluttershy do it, turns out, it was all Fluttershy.

You weren't complaining about the attention, after all, you did call them appealing to the eyes. And eventually you joined in by unenthusiastically saying, "You're just too sexy." Every time they tried to get you too blush.

It's annoying on some occasions, and sometimes it's a pretty good pick-me-up. You even turned the tables on Rainbow by saying, "If you keep doing this . . I just might take you up on your offer." That made her blush and high-tail it outa there.

Besides, whats better than a athletic woman flaunting her curvy figure?

A blushing athletic woman flaunting her curvy figure!

Author's Notes:

Hey! E3 is today and I'm really excited about Bethesda's panel! Fallout 4 for the win!

I was trying to avoid the whole, "Protagonist has a bad childhood/ bad terrible parents."

Anderson's childhood was fan-fucking-tastic until he left for the military. Then everything went to shit.
