I looked at the enraged blue mare," Look, it wasn't me....." I tried to think up quickly for a lie," It was Dark."
[Perfect]
She blinked in a slight confusion," Who?"
" You know... black stallion, red and black mane, looks like a mirrored version of me?"
"Ahh yes him... Well I suppose I can forgive you for now," Trixie said.
" Excellent, thank you Graze for helping," Light said," It means alot to Trixie and I." He then nuzzled Trixie who looked a bit uncomfortable with this show of affection but accepted it.
She began to cry and break down infront of us, I looked at her a bit confused," Are you okay Trixie?"
Light began to comfort her as he began to talk," Is it okay if I tell Graze?"
She nodded with a teary eyed smile," M-hmm"
" She never had friends before and well it's a bit overwhelming to know that she has a coltfriend and you now."
I knelt down at Trixie's level where she cried," It's okay Trixie.... I know how it feels... But don't worry you have Light most importantly, Me and the rest of our gang." I smiled at her and hugged her which seemed okay with Light, it was too make her feel comforted and wanted.
Even though I was mostly the type of pony to curse and flip out, I was always understanding, especially about such a sensitive topic as this.
I released my embrace and looked at Trixie," Feeling better?"
" Yes, the Great and Powerful Trixie is feeling absolutely better because of you two." I then looked at Light who gave me a nod of approval and appreciation.
" So! Let's get to work shall we?" Light said nuzzling Trixie who then returned it affectionately.
[ Nice work Bro ]
< Yeah! Great job for being out the for another Pony>
" So, what do I have to do?" I asked.
" Nothing much, just scavenge anything not destroyed and place it into those boxes which we will move later to my dorm," Light said.
I nodded and began my work picking up random items. Literally these were random, what kind of pony has a smoke machine, fireworks and other gimmicks which looked as if it was for a day at the circus?
" Trixie... What are these for?" I asked.
" Oh! Those are for my performances, please do be careful, one wrong move can set one off and another and another."
My eyes opened wide in fear," Oh... Okay, I guess I can --"
*BBZZZTTTT PINGG!*
" --just work somewhere else in your....Room?" I was now teleported into the library of the school by Twilight Sparkle accompanied by Dark.
" Graze! I need your help to sort all of these books!" Twilight said looking stressed out with a few strands of hair out of place while Dark tried to calm her down.
[ Wow, damn, bitches be cray]
" You owe me one Graze, you broke my leg!" Dark said a bit pissed off.
I looked at him bemused and offended," Watch and listen closely, Kill broke your leg not me and--"
*BBZZZTTTT PINGG!*
" -- I WILL BREAK YOUR leg....again? What the buck?" I was back in Trixie's room.
" Where did you go? Thought you were going to help us out?" Trixie said.
" I don't know but Twilight wants my help in the library."
" THAT EGGHEAD?! WANTS YOUR HELP?! BUT I ASKED YOU FIRST!!" Trixie snapped.
" I know! I know! But I will--"
*BBZZZTTTT PINGG!*
"-- Help you.... SERIOUSLY! WHAT THE FUCK!" I shouted back in the library.
" Shhh! It's a library," a random pony said.
" Oh buck you," I replied now looking at Dark and Twilight.
" Really? You're going to help?!" Twilight said thankfully.
" He has too..." Dark said holding a grudge.
I stood there patiently waiting for the teleportation spell to work again.
" Uhmm... Graze?" Dark said waving a hoof infront of me as I stood still not paying any attention.
I waited there silently waiting for the magical aura *Bzztttt--"
I abruptly grabbed Dark and Twilight," WHAT THE--"
*PING!!*
" HAY!" Twilight shouted now in Trixie's room now taking notice of the blue mare," What am I doing in her room."
" Yeah Graze what's going on!" Dark shouted.
I grabbed his still healing hoof making him yelp in pain for a bit.
" Just shut the buck up and listen..... I've noticed something between you two mares and honestly I want to get this over with before I help with Trixie THEN Twilight," I placed extra emphasis on my first come first serve law.
I looked at all three of them and pushed Dark into their crowd," Understand?"
They all nodded," Good.... Twilight did you know of Trixie's problem or even took the time to realize what was happening?"
" Uhmm.... No," Twilight admitted.
I looked at Trixie as she nodded knowing what I was about to do," She, like me never had any friends and there was no pony out there to help her out til now..... Only now when her home had to be destroyed does a pony help her out and that was Light." I looked at the tyrant white and yellow striped alicorn.
" I'm sorry, I didn't know...." Twilight said a bit sadly in understanding.
" I think now as being ponies, we should forget about whatever past you two had, start over, do the right thing and help each other out... Deal?"
Twilight walked across to Trixie and lent out her hoof," Deal?"
Trixie looked at it a bit smugly which soon changed to an appreciative smile and smacked her hoof with Twilight's," Deal."
I looked at Dark and had an evil thought," And you... I think you should apologize to Trixie."
Trixie looked at Dark waiting for an apology as he began to rant," ME?! BUT I DIDNT--"
I grabbed his healing hoof and squeezed it," What was that?"
" OW! OW! OKAY TRIXIE I'M SORRY!" He said only for me to let him go.... which I did.... after ten seconds.
" Okay ponies, let's get this job done so I can go home and enjoy the rest of my evening." Honestly these events did take up much of my time, I mostly ran away from snakes, bees, Pinkie Pie and also had to be saved from mutated plants.
Light placed a wing around Trixie who then both looked at me smiling while Trixie said," Actually Graze, I can't thank you enough, we have four ponies here to help and that is sufficient. I think somepony home is waiting for you."
Twilight nuzzled Dark," I think you should as well, everypony here is with their other except you so I think Ditzy would really appreciate it if you went to her."
I smiled and something known as "JOY" my conscience took over me. I walked towards all four of them and gave them a huge group hug followed by a nod and exiting the door to the halls.
[ Two birds one stone]
< Like A BOSS>
I ran through the halls of the school with one thing on my mind, Ditzy, which was then interrupted by the sound of music coming from a class.
Curiosity got the best of me and I opened the door seeing four mares; Octavia, Vinyl, Lyra and Bon Bon.
"Hey Graze long time no see," the electric blue maned, Vinyl said.
" Haha, yeah so what are you fillies doing?" I asked.
" Well as you know, the Minor Mare Mixup is coming up in a month, so we need some more material to play," Octavia said.
" Things aren't going so well though...." Lyra said with her harp," We kinda need a vocalist and sorry to say Bon Bon dearie but you're not a colt."
" Wouldn't want it any other way Heart," Bon Bon replied to Lyra using her nickname which was just a shortened version of "HeartStrings"
" Well, I have some new material I'm not quite sure about, a guitar only won't do." I said.
" Ha! It's like you're now meeting us Graze, I especially can play any tune with these bad boys," pointing to her DJ set.
" I might need your help then," Vinyl nodded at my statement and got behind her set.
" And I'm sure if you need to play anything soothing and peaceful," Octavia shot a glare at her blue maned marefriend," Lyra and I can help you out a bit."
" That won't be necessary but does this music room have an electric guitar? My own won't suffice for this kind of song.... It's a bit....rough."
Bon Bon got up being the mare who helped Lyra and the others organize the music room, she went in a flash and returned with my needed guitar.
I strummed the guitar playing a few notes of my song," Oh yeah this bad boy will do just fine."
" So you sure you don't need our help?" Octavia asked.
I shook my head and said," Just sit back and enjoy the music."
" Vinyl, do you have a smooth drumming beat?"
She began to play a continuous beat which was perfect for my song, literally this was my personal song
Show me how to lie
You’re getting better all the time
And turning all against the one
Is an art that’s hard to teach
Another clever word
Sets off an unsuspecting herd
And as you get back into line
A mob jumps to their feet
Now dance, fucker, dance
Man, he never had a chance
And no one even knew
It was really only you
And now you steal away
Take him out today
Nice work you did
You’re gonna go far, kid
With a thousand lies
And a good disguise
Hit ‘em right between the eyes
Hit ‘em right between the eyes
When you walk away
Nothing more to say
See the lightning in your eyes
See ‘em running for their lives
Slowly out of line
And drifting closer in your sights
So play it out I’m wide awake
It’s a scene about me
There’s something in your way
And now someone is gonna pay
And if you can’t get what you want
Well it’s all because of me
Now dance, fucker, dance
Man, I never had a chance
And no one even knew
It was really only you
And now you’ll lead the way
Show the light of day
Nice work you did
You’re gonna go far, kid
Trust, deceived!
With a thousand lies
And a good disguise
Hit ‘em right between the eyes
Hit ‘em right between the eyes
When you walk away
Nothing more to say
See the lightning in your eyes
See ‘em running for their lives
Now dance, fucker, dance
He never had a chance
And no one even knew
It was really only you
So dance, fucker, dance
I never had a chance
It was really only you
With a thousand lies
And a good disguise
Hit ‘em right between the eyes
Hit ‘em right between the eyes
When you walk away
Nothing more to say
See the lightning in your eyes
See ‘em running for their lives
Clever alibis
Lord of the flies
Hit ‘em right between the eyes
Hit ‘em right between the eyes
When you walk away
Nothing more to say
See the lightning in your eyes
See ‘em running for their lives
I ended my song with a few drips of sweat coming from my brow, damn that song took the energy from me.
The four mares never saw a pony play such a song alone with such intensity," Wow." Was one word I heard from the fillies with their dropped jaws.
" So I'm guessing you like it?" I asked the four of them.
" Uh-huh," They all nodded their heads.
" Great! I will play it for the Mixup then, See you mares around," I said waving them a hoof good bye.
I exited the room and began my way to my final destination (HOPEFULLY!) for the day, Ditzy.
I rushed to her apartment and banged on the door furiously.
The door opened showing a very angry, Ditzy," Where were you all day?!"
" I'm Sorry! I'm Sorry, you won't believe the day I've had --" I began to explain the whole story to her as she let me in the apartment.
" But! Don't you worry I have your muffin!" I pulled the muffin out of my bag, a very soggy and sickly looking muffin," Ooops..... I will just go get another."
She looked at me and closed the door," No, no, it's fine.... it's the thought that counts."
I smiled at her and opened my forelegs out wide looking for a hug.
" Ha! Not that easily," She said.
I looked at her and placed my arms down, I've been wanting to say this since my first encounter with Breeze this morning," Ditzy, I've been a bad coltfriend.... Every other colt has been helping out there fillies while I just stood here and let you do all the work..."
Her eyes raised at what I was saying, I continued," It was very unfair of me and I'm sorry.... With that said, can I help you deliver mail, every single morning?"
Ditzy tackled and hugged me," YesYesYesYesYes! Thank you Graze."
While on the floor she looked at me with those bright yellow bedroom eyes as I slowly pulled her into a kiss.
* Knock Knock Knock*
Ditzy pulled away from the kiss as the moment was ruined.
I stood on all four legs and answered the door seeing Luna," Uhmmmm Graze?"
" Yeah?"
" Can I ask you for a favor?" Luna asked.
" Depends.."
" Oh it's nothing much, I just need you to clear a few clouds in the sky. I want everypony to see rising of the moon and Cross has been a bit tight with work."
I looked back at Ditzy and had a perfect plan," Sure. Hey Ditzy can you come with me for this one?"
She smiled and nodded.
-----------------------------------------
All the clouds in the sky were cleared from my Necro Flare Boom making the task Twenty percent easier in ten seconds flat.
I stood close to Ditzy enjoying the cool refreshing air of twilight before the moon rose while Cross awaited for Luna.
Luna's horn glowed blue and flew into the sky raising the moon behind her. It was always a marvelous sight to see the moon rise right in front of you.
Luna then flew down to the Earth's surface and painted the sky with small diamonds which pierced the darkness.
This was RedCross' and Luna's special moment every night as they watched upon the sky in what felt like eternity close to each other. And now it was my special moment with Ditzy.
I wrapped my wing around her supplying her with warmth as she nuzzled my chest looking into the newly painted canvas of the night.
I slowly looked at Ditzy and sang the lyrics of my song which was only meant for her. ( If you don't recall, it was from the Chapter "Love is found in any form")
" The stars lean down to kiss you, And I lie awake and miss you, Pour me a heavy dose of atmosphere...........The silence isn't so bad, 'Til I look at my wings and feel sad, 'Cause the spaces between them are right where yours fit perfectly........"
Ditzy wrapped her wings around me as we both silently enjoyed the night in each others embrace.
