As Shield was chasing the Pegasus, she was amazed at the fact that she was still keeping up to it. The run was long and tiring, but the thought of never seeing Timothy hurt her worse than any pain she has felt before. It wasn’t long before the gray Pegasus touched down, waiting for the earth pony she saw following her. It took six minutes for Shield to reach the Pegasus.

Shield began to plead for the aid of the Pegasus.

“All you had to do was ask once.”

“Thank you so much, you have no idea how much you’re helping me”

Just as she was thanking the Pegasus, she opened her eyes. This is an abnormal sight for the pony. She had never seen a Pegasus with eyes like this one’s. They were self-contradicting, constantly attempting to be in two places at once. This had the pony’s attention of about five minutes, after getting her mind in its normal state they ran off.

As the pair began galloping towards what Shield believed to be the right path, they began to talk. Their conversations were nothing more than simple small talk. This lasted until The Pegasus asked, “How did you two get out this far? No pony I know can do that.” The question brought Shield to a halt; her mind was pacing for an answer, she wasn't capable of thinking of one.

The sky was beginning to get darker as the two mares galloped in a now unknown direction. Shield began to worry thinking that the worst had yet to come. The only thing she wanted to think about was returning to her former owner’s embrace. The simple fact was that the mare was in love, but she couldn’t understand her selection. It was like this even on Earth.

The cross-eyed Pegasus was constantly asking question, but the emotionally confused mare just ignored them. She was ready to collapse, both of them, but they still pressed onwards. Their hooves were ready to start bleeding. The pain was nothing compared to what Shield is going through.

They rested underneath a tall oak tree; there was a carving on it. The carving was not easy to decipher, but the two mares figured it out. “ALWAYS YOURS FOREVER MORE LOVE ----“ The name was never deciphered by the two mares. With a dream now in place they both rested.

“Oh My Gosh! Why did we sleep, he could be hurt now, or worse! Please tell me it’s not too late. Hey! Wake up, we have to go now!” The earth pony was in a state of extreme fear; she was hyperventilating and sweating profusely.

The Pegasus then slowly rose from her slumber. “Hey… why’d you do that…? I’m still sleepy.” She then let out a load audible yawn. This action didn’t help the other pony she was with. It now got her on the verge of tears. “Hey. I’m sorry. Let’s go get that Stallion of yours.”

They both galloped faster than they had ever dreamed of going. Their speed was caused by extreme desperation. They would reach the newly built shelter in less than one hour.

+++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++

Two Sides began to work on a shelter for his mare to return to. The shack was to become a haven. This is what the new “man” was striving for. As time passed he began to wonder if the mare was even thinking about him. His feelings were let out in a stream of poetic words that he never knew. His new description of her was extraordinarily beautiful. It was when she was gone that he was able to show his true colors. The emotion and passion allowed his brown coat and onyx mane to shimmer.

As he felt that his mare drew closer he saw that the sun was beginning to set. He entered his home and shut the doors. Night had passed, but he was worried. If another day was to pass he would go in after her. He hoped that his love would lead her to that house. This was all in his mind, but reality can be a tough teacher.

+++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++

The two mares began to lose their speed. Even emotional fuel has its limits. They had galloped for a total of five hours. Shield once again began to lose her hope for a future with the pony that awaited her. The Pegasus grabbed the pony’s hoof and took to the skies. The shelter was a long way ahead but she flew as fast as she could with the cargo she was carrying.

It began to rain, heavily, but this did not stop the Pegasus. She continued to fly even when she knew the consequences. Even with hope as their guide, the Pegasus would not falter. The only problem was that fate had to tell the Pegasus not to interfere with the future. A stray lightning bolt shocked the Pegasus, causing her to lose consciousness, and they plummeted towards the forest floor.

During this fall, Shield had an epiphany. She knew that fate had brought them together for a reason and she was sure she knew the reason. With all doubt now gone, she used the Pegasus as a springboard and jumped onto a tree. The tree did not completely break her fall, but she was still able to move.

She ran towards the house, only to hear a very load yell. She knew who this was, it was Two Sides. She looked at the skies and realized she was in the midst of true darkness. The run was excruciating but necessary. She was waiting for her “man” to hold her.

Instead she found bears. She stared at the corpse of one and the other two attacking their home. She realized that Sides had killed one of them but the other two were too much. With her Stallion within her grasp, she ran jump onto the roof of the house. The audible thump was heard by Sides.

He immediately opened a hatch and assisted the pony inside. It was there that he said, loudly and firm, “I love you. From the moment I saw the 'true' you, to now, you are nothing if not true beauty. I love you, Silver Shield and nothing can change that.”

The realization brought Shield to an extreme blush and she responded, “I love you too. I loved you on earth and even now, I don’t know why, but I don’t regret it.”

They both had stated their true feeling and were beginning to see the world clearly. They were interrupted by the bears and their constant clawing. They had decided that the bears were to “disappear.” Their plan was simple. The night was not over and rain began to fall. With their hearts as one, they ran out knowing that death may await them. Fear was not an emotion they felt when they were together.

The bears were now like docile creatures to them. With the use of branches and crude cutlery, which they had found within the bowels of the house, one of bears was taken down. With this they had presumed that the death of one more bear was an easy task. The couple had attempted to try the same tactic. The problem was that the bear was not making the same mistakes as its other. This bear had learned. Instead of running towards the ponies at a berserk speed, it danced along the reach of the blades and branches. The battle ended the same way, one cut lead to a dead bear. With the beast gone they were finally able to enjoy their newfound love.

+++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++ +++

They had thought it was over, but suddenly the supposed dead bear awoke and swiped at Two Sides. He saw the action and closed his eyes waiting for death. He hit the ground harder than a rock and believed that he had passed. He found the strength to open his eyes. To his surprise he was unharmed, after a second look he was devastated. Silver was lying on the ground in a shallow pool of crimson and both eyes shut.

This sight drove the already unstable pony off the deep end. His coat and mane changed color. His mane turned into a shade of white that would only be found in an asylum, and his mane turned a pitch black. With this radical transformation, he was given a gift. This was his own magic. When he felt a pulse in his hooves his eyes turned into the same shade of white and he lifted the bear. It was at that moment that the bear vanished from Equestria. No corpse, no remains, just nothing.

With his vengeance aside he galloped to the side of his wounded mare. He was in a state of mass hysteria.

“NO, NO, NO, NO! DON’T YOU LEAVE ME! I CAN’T LET GO YET, PLEASE DON’T GO!”

The destroyed stallion closed his eyes and began to let out tears of passion, never before had he cried like this. It was when this happened that the mare summoned all of her strength to open her eyes and lay her hoof on his cheek.

“hey… listen, I don’t wanna leave you… please don’t leave me…”

The stallion opened his eyes.

“I WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU! I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU, i love you…”

“do me a big favor… please live. You’ll live for the two of us... Just don’t leave here…”

With this she asked him for the one thing she wanted in her heart most of all.

“… before I go please… give me your love…”

The stallion heard this and kissed her with all the passion he had bottled up inside of him. He was a true lover. His partner did the same though her strength was fading she found that her love allowed her to return the kiss, with the same amount of passion as the stallion. Before long he sharing his passion with a corpse.

“NO! WHY! WHY! WHY!”

From behind a gigantic tree the Pegasus saw the spectacle.

“YOU! Come here.”

The Pegasus was startled, but after seeing what this pony did to the bear she exited her hiding spot.

“I need you to help me build a home. Please help me.”

"Now I see why..." the Pegasus whispered, realizing what the mare had done.

It was with this event that caused Two Sides never left his forest. He stayed with his love for as long as he could remember. It was the constant visits from the Pegasus that got to him. In the end he only had one true love, but it was now a broken Shield.
