Twilight's P.O.V.

I look at him as he lay down on the floor. He looks so peaceful when he rests. His breathing is slow as his chest move up and down in a steady pace. I couldn't help but watch him with a smile on my face. He's so kind to us. He helped us, no... he even stands in front of us just to protect us. He fought with Graceland. To show him that we're not an enemy to them. He didn't even care if he had to die or not. He want nothing more than to keep us alive. So that we can all go home together.

Together...

That thought hit my mind as my smile turns to a frown. He just lost his father. His father-in-law, in fact. He's abandoned by his real parents and now his mother-in-law is waiting for his return. To be in her arms again. To hear his laughter, his voice, seeing his smile. But he can't. He had to do this. He had to do this for us. For the country.

He never even get a chance to see his real family. I couldn't imagine what he has gone through but I bet it hurts him a lot. He's clever when he hides his feelings. He always smile when he sees us. He always laugh with us when we told him a joke. But I know, deep down in his heart, he missed lots of moment. He want to go home too. He want nothing than to be in his mother's arms again. And I bet he missed his father a lot right now. He missed his family. Much like we missed our home.

But he always said that, "I'll protect all of you. No matter what. And I will bring you home together. In one piece. You have my word." That's what he says. But I couldn't stop thinking about him. If we go home, what will happen to him? What will happen to all of his friends? What will happen to this world? He's the strongest in the group. And he always know how to make me smile and calm.

His warm smile, his laughter when he laughs, his warmth, his loving embrace when he hugs me as he tried to calm me down. I always loved it when he scratched behind my ear. I wouldn't mind though, it's so good.

I sighed as I looked at the huge hole on the wall that was caused by the Pak 40. It was dark outside. Some soldiers could be seen patrolling around the area as they talked and giggled to each other. The wind makes me shakes in place. Must be midnight. I looked at Parker who is laying with his weapon on his lap. Everytime I looked at the weapon, I couldn't help but shivers. That thing made him a monster. I saw the look on his face when he shot the German trooper down, even when the enemy already surrenders himself. But one thing that makes me think that he's not a monster, is that he's doing it for us. I know he's not letting any of those Germans - or Krauts as he called them - hurt us. He always there when we need them. I know that I only knew him for a couple of days, but just seeing his smile, I know he's doing it from his heart. I know that he won't betray us. And I know that he will always here. On our side.

I slowly walked to him as the cold wind rushed through the house again. Trembling slightly, I shook him gently. "Parker?"

He didn't respond, so I shook him again. "Parker?"

"What?" He asked as he slowly opening an eye. I smiled as I stared at his eye. The eyes that will not hurt me and will always protect me. He's like my Guardian to me.

"I... can't sleep..." I said as I put a hoof on his chest.

He chuckled lightly before sit up and pulled his green uniform off of him, leaving only his white shirt. He then taps the open spot next to him.

"Come here Twilight." He said with that caring tone of his.

I smiled and lay down as I let out a sigh, my back pressing against his... torso I believe. He immediately wrapped his uniform around me and hug me close to him. His warmth quickly sending my eyes heavier than before.

"Better?" He asked tiredly.

"Mhmm," I respond with a yawn, "Sorry to wake you up." He suddenly bring me on top of him, making me yelp in surprise. So now, he's on the bottom, laying flat on his back while I rest on top of him, still with my back pressed against his torso.

"Shh... it's all right Twilight..." He said as he rub my belly gently. I let out another satisfied sigh and nuzzled under his chin. It felt really good when he's so affectionate like this. "Now go to sleep. We had a long day ahead of us. Good night Twilight."

His heartbeat really calming me down. With a final yawn, I finally sleep in his arms once more. "Good night... Parker..."

Parker's P.O.V.

"Parker!" A voice yelled, making him jumped from his slumber. Twilight, who is still sleeping on top of him, quickly rolled to the side and onto the floor. Everybody in the room who is sleeping immediately wakes up from their slumber.

"Ow," Twilight winced as she rubbed her head, "Is it morning already?"

"What's with the noise?" Rainbow asked, annoyed.

"Dash, ya know we're in the middle of a war." Applejack said while adjusting her hat.

"Sergeant! We got a situation!" Glenn called out as he rushed into the bar. Reed followed behind him. Parker quickly stood up and grabbed his gun.

He was about to ask what was happening when gun fires and screaming could be heard everywhere. He looked outside and it was dawn.

"The Krauts are back!" Reed shrieked from the door, "We need to hold this town until reinforcements arrived!"

Parker nod and quickly rushed to the huge hole and stepped outside. "You ponies stay here. Glenn, Andrew, watch these ponies for me will ya!"

"You can count on us Sarge." Glenn said and Andrew nod.

"All right. The rest of you, on me! Let's go!"

"Parker!" Twilight called out as he was about to run. Parker turned to look at her, slightly annoyed. But Twilight's concerned look quickly vanished that expression of him. "Be safe." She said. Parker simply nod and followed Reed onto the battlefield.

Celestia and the others just watched him leave with worried expression.

"Those Germans are back?" Celestia asked, fear washed over her face.

"Worse," Glenn replied, "I was on guard when they came. They're bringing reinforcements and... I doubt that we can hold them without reinforcements on our side." Andrew sighed heavily as he looked up at the ceiling.

"God help us."

"Where the hell are 506th and 501st?!" Parker yelled as he ducked down to reload. The paratroopers were fighting with their best power to hold off the enemy's counter-attack. With whatever weapons they had, they're holding the Germans until reinforcements arrived.

"They left two hours ago! To Hill 30!" Reed replied as he fired two bullets to an unfortunate soldier.

"Fuck! And when will they come back?!" Parker asked again.

"I have no idea!!" Reed shouted back. Parker groaned in annoyance and started to shoot again. A Panzer IV came out of the tree line and rotating it's turret to where Parker was shooting.

Seeing this, the sergeant's eyes widened as he quickly got up from his position. "PANZER!!" He yelled. "GET OUTTA HERE!!" The others began to pour out from their covers when the Panzer fires it's main gun. The explosion sending the debris flying everywhere as they fall back to their next defensive line.

"WHERE THE HELL IS THE BAZOOKA?!" Parker shouted as he ran towards his squad.

"RIGHT HERE!!" A soldier shouted as he grabbed the bazooka from his back. Parker quickly snatched it from his grip and readied himself to fire at the tank. But when he saw it, he knew he won't be able to penetrate it from the front. He must hit it's side, if lucky, it's engine.

"We need to get to it's flank!" The soldier said while looking at the tank. Parker looked around in hopes of finding a perfect spot to hit the Panzer on it's engine. Then he saw it, the perfect spot.

"Reed! Matthew! You guys on me!" Parker was about to stood up but stopped when the soldier asked him.

"What about me, Sarge?"

"What's your name Private?" He asked impatiently.

"Private Leon, Sir." He replied.

Parker nod. "All right, you can come." As the four of them move from cover to cover, they manage to get inside a building just in time when the Germans realised their presence. But Parker didn't realised that the Panzer was already have them on it's sight.

"We gotta destroy that tank!" Reed said while leaning against the wall.

Parker stood up at the doorway and was about to fire when he saw the Panzer was already aiming for them. His eyes turned to pinpricks and knew what was going to happen next cause he didn't have time to do anything.

"GET DOWN!!"

BOOM!

The explosion sent Parker flying backwards and rolled off a table. Reed, Matthew and Leon was lying rolling on the floor in agony. Well, not all of them. Reed's right leg was struck down by a wall and he couldn't move.

"FUCK!!" He screamed as he gritted his teeth.

Parker blinked a few times before regaining his consciousness. He saw Reed, and then the bazooka in front of him. He reached it but he quickly drew his hands back when they started to taking heavy fire from the Germans. Reed was laying and covering his head with both hands.

"Stay there Reed! Don't move!" Parker ordered, "If you move, they're gonna kill you!"

"EASY FOR YOU TO SAY WHEN YOUR ASS DIDN'T FUCKED UP!!" Reed retorted, and covered his head again when bullets sprayed over them. Parker looked at the two soldiers, who is shooting at the Germans.

"GET THE BAZOOKA!!" Reed shouted.

"I CAN'T!!" Parker yelled back. He grabbed his BAR and shoot an enemy that is hiding behind the tank.

Suddenly, a bright flash emerge between the four of them. Making they shield their eyes. When the flash was gone, they saw Twilight Sparkle standing in the middle of the debris. Parker was about to say something when she quickly levitate the bazooka with her magic and aimed it at the Panzer. Without another word, she fires it and she hit directly at it's engine. Parker, Matthew, Leon and Reed just watched in shock as they saw the damage that Twilight dealt.

"Twilight..." Parker stammered, still looking at the burning tank.

"Yes?" Twilight smiled innocently.

"What did I told you... back at the bar?" Parker now looked at him as he tried to calm himself down.

"Umm... to just... stay?" She said sheepishly.

Parker face palmed. "And why did you even here? You're gonna get yourself killed, you know that?" Twilight's eyes began to water and her lower lip trembled. Parker couldn't help but sigh heavily as he adjust his BAR.

"All right Twilight, I forgive you." Twilight return to her innocent smile again. "Damn ponies." Parker muttered as he walked his way outside. "Can you teleport back to the bar? Seriously, you're gonna yourself killed this time." Parker looked from his shoulder to Twilight.

The little purple alicorn put a hoof under her chin. "Hmm... I don't think I can. Since magic doesn't exist here, it will have to take awhile for me to regain my strength and magic."

Parker sighed as he looked to his front. "Stay close to me. Let's get moving guys."

"You mind giving me a fucking hand here?" Reed asked with annoyance. Twilight simply used her magic to get rid of the debris. Reed sighed in relief as he found no injuries to his leg.

"You can walk?" Parker asked.

"You can shoot?" Reed said as he pointed behind Parker. Parker quickly turned around and shot a German soldier. Reed shrugged as he grabbed his weapon. "Guess you can."

"D COMPANY!! HOLD THE GODDAMN LINE!!" Blake shouted as he fired his Thompson from his hip. They complied. All of them hold as long as they could until the 2nd Armored Division arrived.

"BUT WE CAN'T HOLD ON MUCH LONGER!!" Leon shrieked as he ducked down to reload. The Americans were outgunned and outnumbered by the Germans. They're bringing in more tanks and was bombarding their defensive line.

"WE NEED TO HOLD DAMN IT!!" Parker shouted as he fired three bullets. A soldier right next to him got shot on the head and instantly goes silent.

Twilight looked at the dead soldier with wide eyes. Parker noticed this and ducked down to calm the Princess. "Twilight..." He said as gentle as he could to her.

"He just... he just..." She stammered.

"Shh..." Parker quickly scoop her up and held her close to him. She sobs on his shoulder while Parker gently caressing his back. "I told you to stay put."

"But I just wanna help." She said while sobbing. Parker just shook his head, still calming her down.

"Why do you wanna help?" He asked.

"I don't want you to get hurt." She replied. Patted her back gently, Parker sighed. These ponies didn't know what they're up to.

"WE'RE SITTING DUCKS HERE!!" Reed shouted. Wade suddenly slides down between them and fires his sidearms at the Germans.

"Where's your sniper Corporal?" Reed raised an eyebrow.

"It's pissin' needles." Wade replied sarcastically.

"LOOK OUT!!" A soldier shrieked as he ducked his head. Everyone followed when a mortar shell exploded in front of them. Parker hold Twilight close to him when mortar fires and send explosion everywhere near them.

"WHERE'S THE GODDAMN REINFORCEMENTS?!" Another soldier shrieked as he started to shoot with his Browning.

"JUST HOLD!!" Parker ordered, "You want me to just stay here or not?" He asked to Twilight. Twilight released the hug and smiled at him.

"I'm fine... I'm fine..." With that, Parker shoots again. But he was more concerned with Twilight at this point.

They couldn't hold it much longer anymore. The Germans are attacking them with full force. Dozens of tanks came out from the tree line and started to fire at the town. D Company however, didn't fall back, nor do they surrender. They just keep fighting, hoping the reinforcements will come and save their asses.

Parker aimed at a soldier's head and shoot it, sadly he missed. He was about to shoot him again when suddenly an explosion send the soldier fly high to the air. Parker looked in disbelief and checked his weapon. "The hell was that?" He mumbled. Another explosion between the German soldiers brought his attention back to the enemies. Then, on their right side, he spotted the reinforcement. The 2nd Armored Division.

"HAHA!! HERE COMES THE SHERMANS BABY!!" A soldier shouted with glee. Dozens of Shermans came out from their right side and started to open fire at the German tanks. The Germans didn't expect this and lost five tanks already. Without second thoughts, all of them retreated back to the tree line.

"BEAUTIFUL!!" Another soldier shouted.

"Here comes the Shermans." Reed said calmly.

"'Bout fucking time." Wade added.

"OPEN FIRE!!" Parker ordered. The soldiers began to fire back mercilessly at the Germans. Their tanks are in vulnerable position as they lost another tank.

"WHOO HOOO!! THAT'S IT!! RUN TO YOUR MOMS!!" Leon fired his Garand while cheering and hollering at the retreating Germans.

"BET HITLER'S GONNA SHIT ALL OVER YOU!!" Another soldier shrieked.

Parker couldn't help but laughed at his crazy friends. They won, they successfully defend their position until the tanks arrived. The enemies won't flank the 506th and 501st as they move further southwest to enlarge the American defensive perimeter around the town. After this, they're taking their rest and finally go home. And then off to war again.

"Parker? Is it over?" Twilight's voice snapped him out of his thoughts.

Parker turned around and looked down at her. "Yeah... it's over now."

Twilight sighed in relief as she sat on her rump. A Sherman stopped in front of them and the commander looked at the soldier with a smile.

"Morning chaps," he said calmly. Parker tipped his helmet to the commander. The commander returned as he began to look around, "You sure put up a fight here."

"Indeed," Parker replied while looking at the soldiers behind him, "They sure have some balls to do it." The commander was about to spoke up but stopped when he noticed Twilight is behind him.

"What the bloody hell is that?"

Parker looked at Twilight, then back at him. "They're our friends. It's a long damn story."

The commander shrugged, decided to just put the thought out of his mind. "Well, I ain't got time talking with you. We have to move and help the 506th with their bloody fight. I heard that Easy Company was holding on their own without tank support."

"You better go help them then. Good luck there commander. And thank you." Parker said with a smile. With one final wave, the tanks began to move to their next battle.

Blake walked up to Parker with satisfied smile. "Well Sergeant. That's a one heckuva fight we got."

"It is, Sir."

Blake placed both his hands on his hip. "You earned your rest Sergeant. Go and take Twilight there. I'll take it from here."

He slings his BAR on his shoulder and turn around, making his way back to the bar with Twilight next to him. She the noticed something. "Hey, your hand." She said as she looked at his right hand. Parker inspected it and saw his hands were trembling. He sighed and clenched it. Still trembling. Then, he felt his hand warmer than before. He looked at it and saw purple aura surrounded it and slowly open his palm. As it was openly wide, Twilight put her left foreleg on his palm. Parker immediately squeezed it gently and looked back to the front.

"Better?" Twilight asked while looking at him. Parker only respond was a nod as he kept on his walk. His trembling subsided as he held Twilight's hoof along the way.

"Thanks." He finally said.

Twilight smiled at him. "No problem. Anything for a friend."

"Twilight?"

"Yes?"

"What would Celestia and the rest think about what you just did?"

"About what I just did?" She tilt her head.

Parker sighed heavily. "You suddenly teleported in the middle of the battle and just destroy a goddamn Panzer. Do Celestia even allowed you to help me?" Twilight remained silent. "I guess not." Welp, there goes his rest. He will probably be arguing with Celestia and the ponies after this.

As they approached the bar, a loud, shrieking, royal voice could be heard from the bar. "TWILIGHT SPARKLE!!" Parker could just stare when the building shook.

"Oh boy." Well, on the bright side, he's not the only one who's going to be a pancake.
