I woke up in Flares house again. I looked around the room. Flare and Lumen were reading the books about illness and curses. Pathy was reading the book about magic food. I lifted my head up to see the time. It was 10 at night. I looked down my body to see my wing wrapped in bandages, and the rest of me covered in a soft, fluffy black blanket. "Good evening sleepy head." Flare said. He trotted over to me playfully. "You're a hero kid! You deserve to sleep more. Are you thirsty?" Without a word, Flare trotted to the water bucket and got me a glass of water. I drank most of it in one sip.

"What happened?" I looked at around and everyone was staring at me. "You mean you don't remember? You saved Lumen's life!" Flare busted. "Then he saved you and you fell the sleep on his back. Awe isn't that sweet!" I pushed his muzzle away from my face and sat up. Lumen looked at me. "Yea you saved me, i saved you, lets call it even." Gee what more could i expect from him. No, thank you for saving my life? No, not with him. My stomach grumbled, I was starving! "You too?" Pathy sighed. "This book is so confusing. What do you guys want to eat? Apples?" We all looked at each other and nodded our heads in agreement. "Well, OK. Who's gonna test it?" Flare stood up right away. "I'll try it, I'm dying over here."

So, with a little struggle and a lot of concentration, Pathy produced 10 apples. Flare looked at it, sniffed it. Then without any further to do, he took a big bite out of it. We sat there for awhile and looked at him. He just sat there and chewed, eventually he swallowed. We waited 5 minutes. "Well do you feel anything?" I asked. He looked Lumen, Pathy, and I. Then went down to eat the rest of the apple. "It's good food! Great job Pathy!" We all dug in. We each had two apples. We all looked at the last two apples. "How are we gonna split them?" Flare asked. We all looked at each other. "Pathy does it have a spell in there for growing crops quickly?" Lumen asked. Pathy looked through the book. "Yea it does, and it looks easy." She replied. "Flare find a place to plant them, dig it up, and plant them in the house." Flare looked shocked. Then he looked at the corner near the window. "I'll put it there."

I looked at Lumen. "How are we gonna water them?" He looked at me, and then the water bucket. "You and I are going to Cloudsdale. How's your wing?" I looked at my wing and took the bandages off. I flew around a bit. "Works like a charm" I said. The motioned to the window. "We'll be back" He grabbed the bucket, and poured the little bit of water that was left into the cup. "Let's go." We both flew out into the night. We flew above the clouds into the moonlight. It was beautiful. We flew to my house. The floor looked pretty nice, it wasn't filled with water. I grabbed a spare bucket and filled it up in my sink.

While we were waiting for the water we just sat there. "We have to go to my house too." He said, still looking at the water. We grabbed the full buckets and flew to his house. We sat them down in the sink with some ice so it would be cold. "I'll be right back." He walked into the back room and I just sat there. He had pictures of his family on the wall. He was very young in the pictures. He came back into the room. "Why are you looking at that?" He asked, very confused. "Is this your family?" I asked, obviously knowing the answer. "Yea, that's my mom, and dad. My little brother and I." He looked very happy when he talked about them. "So where are they now?" I asked while sitting on his couch.

He sat next to me, still looking at the picture. "Well, my mom died a little after that picture was taken. My dad and brother both live in Canterlot. My dad is a royal guard. He looked me in the eyes, and took off his glasses. He wiped a tear away from his eyes. They were bright blue, it was breath taking. I pulled him close and gave him a hug. "It's OK, don't cry." He cried in my shoulder for a few minutes.

Then pulled away, we were muzzle to muzzle. He started to move closer, and we started to shut our eyes. I started blushing wildly. "Wait, did you hear that?" He pulled away and looked out the window. His eyes were wide with fear. I turned my head slowly to the window, Dusk Breeze and Flash Wing. My friends were those monsters. They were bloodies. Tears poured down my face. They didn't notice we were here. He brought me into the back room. He snuck out and brought the buckets of water back.

After he got that settled we both locked the door and windows. Then we barricaded them as quietly as possible. We waited in silence. His room was so nice and clean. Very organized. I looked at him and blushed. Wait.. wait, wait. Hold up. I was about to kiss him. Holy shit. That would have been my first kiss. Would he have meant it? Does he like me? Oh Celestia i'm blushing even more.

He looked at me and smiled. I looked at the door. My friends were those things, those scary things. I started to tear up, I held my face in my hooves and cried. I cried for a couple minutes and then felt his arm around me. I laid my head in his shoulder and cried. He;s so warm. I loved it.
