First sergeant Sky Runner walked through ponyvile towards sweet apple acres. He was an ice blue Pegasus with a white mane and tail. He was on leave from the Royal Guard headed to se his marefriend applejack. They had started seeing each other two years ago at the grand galloping gala while he was on leave again from the guard. Now it's been two years since they saw each other and he wanted to surprise her. He had already told pinkie to set up a surprise party for him but to keep it a secret from aj. Now as he walked through ponyville with his gear in a ruck sack on his back and a smile on his face as he made his way to the carousel boutique where rarity lived another of his friends. He walked up to the door and knocked four times his signature knock everypony knew it was him. "One moment." He heard from the other side of the door. Seconds later a white mare unicorn with a purple curled mane and tail opened the door. "Why hello Sky I was just getting ready for your homecoming." "Oh okay I was just wondering if you could make me a suit for me." "Why yes but won't that make us late?" "Yes but that's okay I want to look nice for my return to aj." "Ah yes okay then what do you want it to look like?" "Oh noting special just a normal suit. But could you put these patches on them?" He said as he handed rarity two patches one was his unit patch and the other was a rank patch. "Well okay this will only take a minute." She said as she walked to the back of the store. Sky placed his ruck sack by the door and grabbed a recruit roster and looked it over as he sat down at a table.
5 minutes later
"Sky, sky wake up sky wake up." "Ugh ahhhhh wha huh oh rarity hey rarity are you done with the suite?" "Yes I am but how did you manage to fall asleep in five minutes. And what are you yelling about?" "Sorry I'm just really tired this R and R will really do me some good. And it was just a dream don't worry about it." "Well ok I'm sure it will. Here's your suit and are you sure you're okay?" "Yeah thanks rarity ill put it on on the way lets go." He then put the suit on and grabbed his ruck sack and walked the door with rarity behind him. "What happened to putting it on on the way?" "Where on the way so what are whining about." "I'm not whining I'm questioning." "Whatever you say rarity." He said as they began walking back to sweet apple acres.
