This story follows up on "Into the Everfree Forest" and "Into Ponyville", so if you haven't read those stories, I highly recommend you do.
Disclaimer: I do not own MLP, just Lone Warrior and this story.
I was flying back home from my usual mailing trip. It was quite a long day and I was getting tired from flying to each house delivering mail, making sure I got the right letters to the right ponies this time. I opened the door and walked into the kitchen. Luckily, Lone Warrior was there to greet in the kitchen with a jar of coins in his hoof. Ever since he moved in with me after living in the Everfree Forest, I've been enjoying his company. He was really a good friend to me, even if he can be a bit grumpy at times.
"Hello Lone Warrior. How was your day at the apple orchard?"
"Good." he spoke, seeming a bit tired as well, "Been bucking apples all day, but I've almost got enough money to buy me a house."
As he dropped some coins into the jar, I couldn't help but feel a little anxious. For some reason, the thought of Lone Warrior moving out made me feel a little worried.
"You know, you don't have to move out; I don't mind you staying here with me."
"Its better if I take care of myself and live in my own house; I don't want to be a burden."
"You're not a burden, Lone Warrior." I said walking over to him, "I like having you around; you always seem to enjoy my muffins."
"As much as I love your muffins, Derpy, I can't always rely on somepony taking care of me."
"To be fair, you've been taking care of me more than I've been taking care of you, especially when we were in the Everfree Forest." I smiled, trying to humor him a bit.
"Even so, I'd rather be on my own." said Lone Warrior sternly.
I was afraid to say anything else as I watched him feel his way through the kitchen to put away his jar of money. It wasn't the fact that he was blind that made me feel uncomfortable leaving; being handicapped myself, I can understand his stubbornness in wanting to be independent, but we had already started to know one another that it felt like if he had been around forever and the thought of him leaving would leave somewhat of a hole in my heart. I sighed.
"Is something the matter?" Lone Warrior asked, hearing me sigh.
"No." I sighed, "I'm gonna be going to Sugar Cube Corner; I promised my friends I'd meet them for an early dinner."
"Alright then, you take care."
I nodded and headed out the door. Maybe talking to my friends could help me figure out what was wrong with me; why I was having these reluctant feeling of Lone Warrior leaving.
That's chapter 1. Please R&R.
