Chapter 15: Meals and Shields

"You were a guard?!" Steve exclaimed.

We were sitting on the couch in me and Ebony's room. Me and Eb sat together, while Steve sat on my other side, slightly less close. But still very close. He was a rather touchy guy, considering he's a griffin. He says it's because he's spent too much time 'round ponies.

"Yep, and it was going so well. Wasn't it?" I asked sarcastically.

"...In a way, yes. But now..." He nuzzled my side. "Now it's better."

I noticed something about Steve just then, it was very subtle, but it was there. Ebony was also staring at Steve, as if he had grown another head.

"Erm, Guys? What're you staring at?" Steve asked, pulling his head back slightly.

"You tried to hide it." I said. "But that little pang of your eye and mouth muscles let it out." He had twitched in a very tell-tale way.

"What?" He asked. Confused.

"You think he's cute, don't you Steve?"

He lifted a talon and raised a digit. "One, stop calling me that."

"No."

He raised another. "Two, yes. I think he's cute."

I think Ebony exploded on the inside a little, it was probably the first compliment he had gotten from someone other than me.

Steve continued, "Why were YOU staring at me?" Indicating to Ebony with a finger.

Ebony leaned over me and put his mouth to where I guess Steve's ear is. "I could taste it." He whispered. Purposely making it creepy.

Ha, he's dealing with things the way I do; embrace it. Obviously there are some scenarios where this does not work, but it really helps deal with stress I find; To act as if nothing is happening when the world is collapsing, so to speak. It helps keep a calm mind, though stops you from being very productive. Maybe I should talk to Ebony later, about this stress, if this is what he was doing. He doesn't have anything to stress about other than Celestia, and they were having fun with each other not that long ago, when I left them in the throne room with her.

Maybe Ebony was just tired then. I mean I had woken him up in the middle of the night to introduce Steve to him.

The rest of the meeting went well, but we all decided to head to bed eventually. Steve left, to either head to bed himself, or to get back to his guard duty. Everyone has to sleep, even the guy who just got told his long dead fiance is still alive and living in one of the most dangerous places in the country.

He seemed to draw confidence from me and Ebony, he was constantly pointing out similarities between Me and Eb, and him and Dawn, when they were together. Can't wait to re-unite those two, I have not seen them together yet, but I could tell just by how much Steve cared, that their relationship was something big.

"Welp, I'm going back to sleep. See you Dan." Ebony said as he trudged back into the bedroom.

"Nah, I'll join you." I said as I looked to the clock. "It's way too late for me to do anything fun." Except you - I almost added, but I didn't want to have that conversation yet. Perhaps even ever. I found him cute, not attractive. Nothing here was 'attractive' really. But I'm sure my mind will adapt, hopefully I don't end up regretting my relationship choices when it does...

We both got into bed, but remained on our sides of it.

After a couple minutes Ebony spoke up, making me jump slightly. "What did you mean the other day?"

"What? Your going to have to be more specific there, buddy. There are a lot of 'other days'."

Ebony looked to me. His eyes glowing slightly in the darkness. "You said we could not search Chrome's room, and to leave it to Chrome and Luna. Why?"

"Oh... er..." I stuttered. Ebony cocked his head slightly. "I'm pretty sure they er..." I bumped my hands together in a half-suggestive fashion. The lights were off and the room was pitch-black aside from the dull blue light coming from his eyes. But changelings probably have some form of night-vision, so I'm rather sure he saw the gesture.

His eyes widened, then his features became contemplative. "I DID taste something odd while passing their door... but it was so subtle I payed it no mind..." He looked back up to me. "You really think... they did?"

"Well... I think we interrupted a rather intimate moment earlier that day, they both refused to say what they were doing, or more likely, about to do. When I came by later, Luna was washing herself and Chrome was out-of-action for a rather long time. I'm not sure exactly what they did, but from the evidence I have, I'm pretty sure at least Chrome had a good time, but I don't know for sure if Luna was on the receiving end of anything... but she WAS having a shower in the middle of the day; so SOMETHING happened, but I can't know for sure, I don't know any of the 'rituals' or whatever the ponies might have, so you probably know better than I do. I'm planning on asking Chrome at some point, though."

Ebony stared at me strangely. "Is that... envy I taste?"

"Yeah..." He pulled his head back and stared at me. "Not because he has Luna! He can keep her." Ebony relaxed slightly. "It's because he got..." Ebony blinked. "Never mind." I rolled over and tried my best to get to sleep.

I'm fairly certain that Ebony stared at me for a while, but he didn't pry. He eventually did the same as I.

***

There was a knocking at our bedroom door. I turned to Ebony, to find him gone. I groaned, got up and put on the cleaner of the two sets of clothes, though I had worn both for a couple days each now. There was a familiar smell in the air, I could not recognize it, but it was very welcome.

I got to the door and opened it. I blinked heavily and rubbed my eyes. When I lifted my head, I found Chrome. Steve was in the kitchen, Luna was on the couch and Ebony was sitting next to her. The other couch was vacant. They were making small-talk. Good to see he's getting more comfortable... but... it's like... 9am. Das too early.

"Ebony! I said no parties." He rolled his eyes and Luna giggled. I turned to look back down to Chrome. "Why are you here."

He seemed put off by the directness of the question. "We heard what you did last night, me and Luna wanted to congratulate you."

I blinked. Oh yeah, Dawn. "Oh, okay." I turned to Steve. "OI, Steve!" His head poked up from behind the counter, he wasn't in his armor anymore, but his official-looking hat was still perched upon his head, slightly askew. "What are you doing here?"

He turned back to whatever he was doing in the kitchen, but responded "I told you that I could get a meal ready for you today. But I decided to make it a double."

"Oh, that's what that smell is. No wonder I woke up so fast." The ponies gave each other strange glances. I looked around the room, at their confused looks.

Steve chuckled, "They can't smell it, Dan."

"Oh cool, I thought that was going to be a problem." I looked down to Chrome, who was still standing in the doorway.

He looked up at me, confused. "Why did you call Rosewood 'st-ee-v'?"

"Why are YOU still in my way?" I said, crossing my arms.

He quickly moved out of my way. I walked over and sat on the empty couch opposite the one being used by Eb and Luna.

"How long till your done Steve?" I asked across the room. Chrome sat on the other side of Luna from Ebony.

"Is about done now actually. You got good timin'." I heard the oven open and he placed a tray on the side of the kitchen. It was full of meat, some of which I recognized the look of. Some, I didn't. The ponies all blanched. Steve pulled out a pair of plates, then stopped half way. "Any o' you ponies want some?"

Chrome and Luna both shook there head violently. Ebony shrugged, "Sure, why not." They all stared at him. I was not that surprised.

Steve pointed at him. "Good man." He picked up a third plate and added it to the pile. He filled the three plates with the assorted meats, each kind falling into a neat pile on its own part of the plate. He walked out from the kitchen with a plate balanced on each wing, and one in his beak. He used his wings to deftly slide the plates to me and Ebony, mine was a lot more loaded than Ebony's. Steve sat next to me and pulled the plate out of his mouth and set in one hand, using the other to lightly pick at the food. The ponies were still staring at us, Ebony was getting the brunt of it. I inspected my meal.

"I was not aware that changelings could eat meat." Luna said. Hiding her slight disgust very well.

Ebony shrugged. "We can, it's just not as-good-a source of energy for us when compared to love. So it's more of an emergency thing." He leaned down and delicately picked up a sliver of dark meat in his teeth. The ponies watched in interest and morbid curiosity as he ate.

"Give the guy a break." I said, using my good arm to pick up a slice of what I thought was beef, or something. "Ya'll just wimps for not trying." Luna rolled her eyes while Chrome's eyes narrowed. He took it as a challenge.

I took a bite from the meat in my hand. It was pretty dry, and not too tender. So it was a pretty clean meal considering I was using my hands. My first reaction when I chewed was 'this is not beef'. But then I realized it was pork. So it was fine. I never was good with food. I decided, after that, I would ask Steve.

"Hey, Steve. What are these?" I gestured to the plate. He looked a little offended. "No, the- What animal did they come from." He gave an understanding nod.

He pointed around my plate. Listing the meats. "Cow, chicken, pig, rabbit, turkey, duck..." His sharp finger lingered over a certain pile of meat. "Pony." He said, staring that the two across from us, and I thought they looked terrified BEFORE he said that. Their mouths dropped open. "What? They allow it." He said, returning to his own plate and taking a bite of the meat in question.

Chrome looked a lot less confident now, but still looked challenged. Luna looked between Chrome and the pile of meat.

I was happily digging in now that I knew what they were. But I avoided the middle pile, I was saving that meat for last, in case it was terrible and I threw up or something, that would ruin the rest of the meal for me. I had never had rabbit or duck, but I had heard they were pretty good. They were alright I guess, nothing to write home about. Not that I could do that anymore.

Chrome lifted a hoof tentatively. "Can I- I would like some." Luna rolled her eyes at him in a typical woman kind of way, and Steve looked up from his meal with a legitimately scary smile.

"Which kind?" Steve asked holding out his plate.

"W-which is best?"

Steve picked up a slice of pony and held it towards Chrome. He blinked, recoiled and looked to Luna for support.

Luna used her magic to snag the slice of meat, splitting it on two in mid-air. "If you're having some, I am too." The look of fear on Chrome's face was priceless, he saw me smiling at him and sighed, nodding. Luna placed one half of the meat in front of her, and the other in front of Chrome, who flinched slightly.

The look of pure joy on Steve's face was really quite scary. "On the count of three." He said.

"One. Two." Chrome gulped. "Three!" Luna and Chrome both took bites simultaneously, Chrome chewed once. Then he froze. His eyes widened. He sat there for a second, then ran to the bathroom, locking the door behind him.

Luna just shrugged, chewing almost happily. "It's not good, but I've had much worse."

Steve laughed. "'Least you stomached it better than 'im!" He said, pointing to the bathroom door. It had opened and Chrome was wiping his tongue with a hoof. He looked at Luna, just in time to see her finish her mouthful. He stared in disbelief. He sighed after a couple seconds and resumed his place next to Luna, defeated. Everyone but Chrome laughed at his antics.

Ebony stood and put his only half-finished plate in front of Steve. "Full already Ebs?" He flinched at the nickname Steve had given him.

"Yeah, small stomachs, we changelings." He said sluggishly as he practically collapsed on the couch next to Luna.

"Well, more for me." Steve said, happily finishing off Ebony's plate. He looked to mine. "You eating that? I see you left the best for last." I had eaten all of the meat, except for the pony.

"Yeah, it'll be my first time, so I left it, as not to ruin the rest of the meal in case I really don't like it."

"Well? Ya' finished everything else. Go ahead!" Everyone around me watched in anticipation.

I picked up the cleanest-looking slice of pony and smelt it. It was an unfamiliar smell, but slightly pleasant in that way meats are. I shrugged and took a bite.

There was a flash of light. Everyone let out startled yells as Celestia appeared between the two couches. A look of rage, shock and confusion on her face.

She looked to the meat in my hand. Then to the plate. Then the Steve. Then back to the plate. Then looked to me. And sighed.

"So, you okay there?" I asked, the meat had fell out of my mouth when I jumped at Celestia's entrance. Luckily it landed back on the plate.

"...I had spells on you had summon me if you ever harm a pony directly." She looked to the meat. "Guess they were a little too sensitive." We all just sat in silence. "So, why are you eating pony Dan?"

"Steve fixed some meat for me. I really needed the protein. It wasn't ALL pony though, I just saved the pony till last."

She sighed. "Okay, well, I'll remove the spell so you can eat. I'm trusting you Dan. I need to get back to the conversation I was having." And with that; she disappeared.

We all just looked at each other.

"Well, let's try that again shall we?" I said, picking up the meat that I had dropped. I took a bite. No Celestia this time, cool. It was completely different to any meat I had ever had. Not that bad, but nothing particularly special. "Hm, this is alright. Which is saying something; I've never been that big of a meat fan." I finished the small pile in a couple bites.

"Yes, I always liked that one the best, to bad its such a rarity." He said, taking mine and Eb's plates on his wings again. And began walking them back to the kitchen.

"Oh, please don't tell me that that was Rarity." They all gave me strange looks, only Luna knew who I was talking about. She giggled slightly and waved off the others strange looks.

Luna's eyes widened for a second. "Celestia has called for me, she requests you too, Rosewood." Steve responded to his fake name by placing the dirty plate on the side and shrugging. Following Luna to the door.

"Bye Luna, Steve." I called. He rolled his eyes.

"Farewell Ebony, Dan. Chromey." Chrome rolled his eyes. Steve and him shared a look of empathy, before the door was closed.

Leaving just me, Chrome and Ebony.

"Well, I guess I'll be on my way too." Chrome said, starting to the door. But I stopped him with a raised arm.

"Ebony, could you wait outside for a second?" He looked uncertain, but did so without a word. Chrome actually looked rather scared, I probably still had pony in my teeth.

Once Ebony was out the door I gestured for Chrome to sit opposite me. He sat slowly, giving me a suspicious look. Him sitting directly across from me gave me a very good and unwelcome look at his scars. The fur had grown back somewhat, but I could tell there were some parts that would scar for life.

I sighed. "Chrome, you want to talk about that morning."

He looked around nervously. "Which one?"

"You know the one." I gave him a blank stare.

He exhaled. "Fine. Ask away." He slumped slightly.

"Dude, it's nothing to be ashamed of. But what exactly did you do?" He opened his mouth to answer, but I realized my error. "Wait. Wait, not EXACTLY. Make it brief, and leave out all the dirty details."

"Dan... they're ALL dirty details."

"Okay, leave out the really bad ones."

"Okay fine."

I won't say what they did, specifically, in here. But I will say; I was impressed.

"And that's it." He finished.

"Dude." I stood up and walked over to him, sitting next to him, putting my arm over his shoulder. "I'm proud of you dude."

He looked to me surprised. "Really?"

"Yeah, if Luna had done THAT when I walked into the room, I would have ran screaming. Even if we WERE in a relationship."

"Erm... thanks... I guess? I won't tell Luna you said that."

"Feel free to tell her, just be ready to explain to her why you told me what you did."

He sighed. I patted him on the back as I stood. I walked to the door and retrieved Ebony, who froze a couple steps in.

"Dan, what did you do in here?" I gave him a confused look. He waved me closer and I took a couple steps towards him, he covered his mouth from one side as to hide it from Chrome. He mouthed the word "Lust." With slightly wide eyes.

"Nah, it's fine. Chrome's just all hot-and-bothered cause I made him think back to a couple days ago." Ebony seemed to understand. I turned to Chrome. "Isn't that right 'Chromey'." He shifted awkwardly. I snorted slightly.

There was a silence again. Gotta work on that.

"Hey, actually, I've got some things to take care of. You two have fun now." I said as I walked out of the door.

Ebony caught the door half way. "Bye Dan!"

I 180'd and waved shortly. He slipped back into the door.

I made my way out of the palace, and into the streets. I walked for a couple minutes, just taking in the sights and the fresh air. The ponies were more used to me now, I even got some waves, which I happily returned. Those ones must have seen me at The Shadey at some point, to be that friendly with me. I didn't recognize any of them though. A couple even asked if I was the one who sung 'My Feather'. Seems word has spread.

I eventually passed by Hazel's shop, I decided to stop by. Plus I needed more clothes.

I was met with a hug as I entered.

"Your back!" She squeaked. She pulled back but kept her hoofs over my shoulders, one hurting slightly with the added weight. "What do you need? How have you been?"

I laughed at her enthusiasm. I put my hands on her hoofs. "What do I need? I'm not allowed to come visit a friend?"

She rolled her eyes. "We might have met only briefly, but I know you, Dan. You need something. What is it?" She kept her amazingly chipper tone.

"Okay, you got me." I pulled her hoofs off of me and she stood normally. "I need a warm jacket, an extra set of clothes and your musical taste." She pulled a notepad from thin air and wrote down the first two, but stopped half-way through the third.

"Excuse me?" She asked.

"I want to know what kind of music you like." I said, shrugging.

"Oh? Why's this?"

I stretched my arms. "Ahh, you heard of 'My Feather'?"

She nodded eagerly. "Of course! I only wish it had been performed in a more... social place. But I have heard it's recordings. It is sad though..." She looked at the floor. "That pony must have been so sad, to produce something like that..."

I snorted. "It wasn't a pony, you know."

"Really? I was not aware any other species had music-magic."

"Turns out, one does." I said, smirking at her.

She blinked rapidly. "R-really? It was you?"

"Yep, turns out I have some magic ability or something. It basically allows me to perform any song practically perfectly, without having to feel the emotions the song conveys." I looked at her teary eyes. "That means I wasn't sad when I performed it." She smiled and hugged me. I returned it.

"You've come so far Dan, and in such a short time too! You really should make more songs!" She pulled away. "What have you been doing? Over the last month?"

"Heh, I spent a magority of that time living in a cave. In an undisclosed location."

"Wuh? What?" She asked, her face turning confused.

"You heard me right, I lived in a cave for 25 days. With a changling."

Her eyes widened. "How did you survive?!"

"He brought me food and I gave him his equivilant of food."

She blinked. "Wait... the CHANGLING brought you food?"

"Yep."

"And you gave it..."

"Yep, love."

"Dan... your insane sometimes, it could have killed you!"

"Nah, he's harmless. He's living with me, in the palace." She blinked. "Yeah we had a couple problems with Celestia... but those are sorted out now."

"So you found a changling in a cave, brought it back, and now you live with it?"

"Not quite, he's been a guard in the palace for years. I found him there, disguised. I saw through it. Me and him became pretty friendly and Celestia asked why. I said he was a changeling and she freaked out. I stood between them, gave Celestia a few choice words, picked him up, walked to the cave and lived there until Celestia asked for us to come back."

"Well... he sounds... nice..."

"He is! He's practically friends now with both Princesses and Luna's somepony."

"Luna has a special somepony?!"

"...Oops, if you don't know about it, it's probably meant to be a secret or something. Do me a favor and keep that to yourself." She nodded. "Thanks. But yeah, aside from almost starving-dash-freezing to death in a cave, I've been fine."

She smiled. "Dan... You really get around." I snorted. "Now, about this 'jacket'?"

I explained what I meant by a jacket. Basically a hoodie, but I left out the hood, since I never used them. She understood what I meant after a little explaining and a quick sketch.

"So yeah, that and a couple extra sets of clothes, feel free to mix the colors up a bit. But try to keep them dulled down you know?"

She nodded, taking notes. "Yes, I know you stallions and bright colors. I can do that." She looked over the list and flinched.

"What? something wrong?"

"No... yeah, this is a lot of work... when do you want it by?"

"Oh don't rush yourself, get it done whenever, I have a lot of time. But the jacket would be nice to have before the brunt of winter. Take your time though." She smiled. I realized then, I had no money what-so-ever. "Oh shi-" I covered my mouth. She dropped her notes and stared at me. "Sorry, sorry. That's a common thing where I come from, it slips out sometimes." I explained quickly. She seemed to understand, but still looked a little shaken. She picked up her notes. "It's just that... I don't have any money."

She blinked. "Oh, that's fine!"

"No, I refuse to have you work for free, I'll see what I can d-"

"Nonono, Celestia donated a hefty sum to my establishment. That's payment enough."

"...But I had nothing to do with that."

"Yes you did, The Princess said she gave it because I was so accepting of you. A kind of 'Thank you' gesture."

An idea. "Hey, I ain't complaining about getting free stuff, but I'll pay you back somehow." I had a plan now.

"Don't feel the need Dan. You're more than covered." She smiled brightly.

"Thanks-" I said, cut off by the sound of the door opening behind me. A familiar pony walked in. Oh my god, it's him. I looked away from the pony and back to Hazel. "I'll let you get to business." I nodded to her as I walked to the door. She returned the gesture in a more chipper manner. I walked past the pony, making sure to check the cutie-mark. Yep that's him.

I waited outside the shop for him. It took a while and I got some weird looks from passing ponies. During my time waiting a shy-looking stallion came up to me with a record in one of his bags. He just kind of stood there, so I had to make the effort to speak first.

"Sir?" I asked. He flinched as I spoke. "What do you need?"

He mumbled something.

"What was that?" I said, leaning in slightly to hear him better.

"I want you to s-s-s-s-..." he slowly stepped back.

"Dude, it's okay. Come on."

"I want you to... sign... this." He slowly picked the record out of the back. 'My Feather - Live at The Shadey, Canterlot' it read, it was hand/hoof written, so that explained the lack of a artist-name.

I took the record and he handed me a black marker pen. Why do they use quills if these exist? I took it. But stopped.

"Anything you want written?"

"Er... 'To Emerald' then your signature... if that's okay..."

"Nah, that's fine." I started writing in a blank spot on it's case. "Emerald a friend of yours?"

"You know her?" He asked slightly worried... hell, everything he said sounded 'slightly worried'.

"No, just asking." I shrugged.

"Oh, er.. yeah... she is." He said, as I handed the record back to him. "Thanks... W-what's your... name? If you dont mind me asking."

"Dan, my name is Dan." He wrote 'performed by Dan' On the case along-side the other infomation. "They selling those?" I asked, pointing at the disc.

"N-no sir, I... I made this."

I blinked. "You recorded me?"

He backed up. "Ye- yeah, I can destroy it if you want!" He quickly added.

"No, no dude. It's fine, really. Keep it. But what's your name? I might need someone like you to produce disc-copies of my future songs."

His eyes widened. "I would be honered sir! M-my name's Veiled Alloy."

"You got a buisness?" He nodded. "Is it selling people's music?"

"Ponies music, yes."

"...Veiled Alloy right?"

"Yes sir!"

"Feel free to spread these around. Just make sure to tell them 'Dan made the song', okay?"

"Of course!" He said, beaming with pride.

"Now," I said, clapping slightly. "I've been thinking about making more music. You get this song big enough and I will make more. You can sell these for money if you want, you can keep 100% of it too. But if I make more music, which you will be recording if I do, you will get 40% of the profit. Deal?" I held out a hand.

He backed from my hand, but slowly extended a hoof into it. I firmly shook it.

"It would be a pleasure to work with you... Sir." He said as he retracted his hoof.

"I'll be sure to contact you if I decide to make more." I heard the door to Hazel's shop open and swing shut. "Sorry, but I have somewhere I need to be. I hope Emerald likes her record."

"Thank you sir." He bowed slightly and gave him a short wave and turned around.

Sure enough, the stallion from Hazel's shop was walking away. I followed cautiously. Knowing him, he would notice. I had to act natural, look at the buildings, admire plants, head at angles that change every-so-often, no robotic movement. I walked briskly to catch up to him, trying to blend as much as possible. He never even turned around so my efforts were useless, but caution had to be taken with this one...

I walked up beside him, he turned and looked at me, then craned his neck to look me over.

"Shining Armor right?" I said, pointing at him.

"Yes. And you are?" His tone was not unpleasant, but didn't make me comfortable.

"Er, I'm Dan. You might have heard about me from Celestia?"

He nodded slightly. "Ah, yes, the Insubordinate Hero... What do you need?"

"Just wanted to meet you dude. And since our authority's are almost equal, we were going to meet eventually."

He maintained a flat expression and snorted. "Well, you managed to catch me off-duty. Your the one who created DCPR right? That's already saved the lives of a couple troops."

"Yep, that was me. Used it in the throne room... his blood ruined the carpet though. If he hadn't survived I would probably feel bad about that. It was a nice carpet."

He sighed. "Yeah, I heard what happened to that guy, and his house. The fact such a thing to happened here... disturbs me."

"Yeah, I haven't heard anything about the investigation so far, how's it going?"

"It was slow at first, but they say they have a new lead to his location. Hopefully they find that psycho before he does anything else."

"Yeah... Hey, do you know if your sister or any of her friends are coming to Canterlot at any point?" He gave me a strange look. "Don't worry, I'm taken."

He rolled his eyes. "The next time they are coming, where you would be able to catch them, would likely be this spring, at the Gala."

"Aw, that sucks. Really want to meet those guys. You doing anything today?"

He shrugged while walking, quite a feat for a pony. "Nothing really, until tonight where I have a outing with Cadence."

"Oh yeah, you two are a thing, I forgot. You know, it was your wife that got me and Ebony together, she's really got a knack for that kind of thing."

"Yeah, that's kind of 'her thing'." He said, smiling. "Wait... Ebony? Ebony Towers?"

"Yeah, used to be a guard? I thought you'd recognize the name."

"But didn't Ebony turn out to be..."

"Yep."

There was a short silence. "Hm, okay, fair enough. You know, me and Cadence are going to a nice little place just down the road from the palace for a meal tonight. You want to join us? With Ebony, I mean. I am interested in seeing him and I'm sure Cadence will be all-over you two."

I laughed shortly. "Yeah she sure will. Sure dude, when and where is it going to be?"

"We'll just wait for you at the Palace gates, it's at eight, sharp, you don't show up we'll leave."

"Understandable, I would not want to delay anything. Thanks dude." I held out a hand we shook.

"Welcome. Eight, be there." He said as we parted ways.


Author's Note

Updated: 08/11/15
-Fixed some story-related stuff
-Fixed some tenses
-Other general fixing stuff

With the available cut-off points getting further and further apart, the chapters are getting longer. That means I am burning through my material VERY fast now. I think, if it keeps going at this speed I might have to continue writing soon.

So expect a sudden drop in productivity in a couple chapters.
