Chapter 6: Trouble
Phoenix desperately tried to escape, but to no avail. "What do you mean you don't want to go back to Twilight?" Scootaloo asked sternly.
"She's…crazy! I can't think of any other word besides that! She was going to strap me into a chair! She was going to fry my brains!"
"Ah have no Idea what y'all are talking about."
"Of course you wouldn't." He looked down sadly. He had been defeated. The mares had won, and he had lost. He was tied up, helpless. They were going to take him back, and then they were-
"Woah, I can't believe this slipped my mind, But I just realized! We actually saved you, so you owe us!" Sweetie belle said, making the other girls nod in agreement.
"W-What?"
"We found you in the bushes, so we took you to Twilight. She must have done something, and made you better. You should be thanking her." Sweetie Belle explained. Phoenix looked down and blushed in embarrassment.
The Cutie Mark Crusaders looked at each other, then went into a different room. I have to escape. How do I know if they're telling the truth? He squirmed around, trying to reach the door, but instead, falling on his nose. Ouch… The mares trotted back out and stood in front of him. "Since were reasonable, we'll make you on offer. If you do something for us, we won't take you to Twilight. But we're being honest here, she really did help you, so we'll give you time to think about it, but in the morning, you should at the very least apologize to Twilight. Okay?"
Phoenix thought about this for a second, then nodded. "Okay, what do you want me to do then?" He asked. The mares grew a devilish smile, and Scootaloo came back out with a dress.
"Put this on." She said in a monotone.
"W-what? No!"
"Put it on! Now!"
"No! That's for Mares, and I'm a Colt!"
"Exactly…" She said, and started walking closer and closer. Soon the 3 mares were around him.
"No! No! NOOOOOO!"
*Ventus*
"Thanks!" I said as I left Daring Doo's hut.
"You're welcome, and remember, Ponyville's that-a-way!" she pointed with her hoof. "Thank you, once again." I called back, and soon, she was out of sight. I walked down the path she told me to go, feeling alone again. I slung the bow and the quiver full of arrows she gave me over my shoulders.

"This was my father bow, He was the part of P.B.I, Pony Bureau of Investigation. He was the captain, and a damn fine good one at that, may I add. Sadly, he passed away, but not in vain. He saved a group of ponies and zebras then caught the arrow of a bunch of no good ponies in his neck. He jumped in front of the arrow to save a mare and her two fillies. He did the same as you did, and I think you two would have gotten along. I also think he would've wanted you to have this, Celestia knows I don't have a use for it."
What a great father she had. I wish I had an awesome father. No. I did have a good father. I know my real ones did what they did to save me. This is probably why I have such a sacrificial nature. I take after you guys. Мама, папа, I love you guys. I wish I could've met you.
Instead I was stuck with these shitty ass, abusive parents. They beat me every day, and I was too scared to do anything! I'm still weak. I should've been stronger. This is my fault. I didn't do anything. That day when I had a black eye, and the teacher asked how I got it, I shouldn't have said I got hit playing Soccer. What Russian plays soccer? Ugh, I'm such a stupid idiot.
(Skip song to 1:51 )
I…Miss earth. I belong there. I still love this place but.. "UGH!" I yelled, and punched a tree. I continuously punched the tree until my hoofs went numb. Why! Why me? Why me, God or Celestia, or Muhammad, or freaking Buddha? Why?! Why did this have to happen to me? I'm a good person; I keep my head up, and smile when everyone else is giving up. But these scars! I felt tears stream down my face, partly because I was sad, and the other reason because of my hurt hoof and wing.
These scars…They'll never go away. I'll never be a normal boy, or colt. I'll always be 'That one freak from a different species.' Or 'That one freak that's afraid of mirrors and the dark.' Never anything less, never anything more!
I continued to walk and let the tears blind me. Was I still going the right way? I hoped so. The sun was setting, and I was in a dangerous area. I can't run, I hurt my hoof. That's my fault. AGAIN!
The sun had finally set, and it was too dark to see anything. I trotted to the side of a tree, and sat on my haunches, trying to keep my eyes open until the sun rose again, but my tears did a good job of blocking it.
Before I knew it, I had drifted off.
(Song end)
*Rainbow Dash*
Fluttershy knocked on the door. She waited patiently until she heard it open up. What she saw was surprising. Rainbow dash, normally looking like a mess, was up, her mane combed, and she had a smile on her face. "Fluttershy! I feel better! I feel terrific!"
"That's gre-" Before she knew it, Rainbow Dash picked her up and hugged her. "Eeek!" She squeaked. Dash lowered her to the ground. "Sorry, I'm so excited. C'mon, we need to go to Twilight! We need to tell everyone! I'm so much better. I'm going to get my old job back. Celestia doesn't need to give me any more bits! As much as I like the free money, I just don't feel right taking it, so now, I can work again, get active, and meet more people. C'mon, C'mon!"
"Well, actually, I was- Aaah!" Before she knew it, Fluttershy was dragged along to Twilight Sparkle's House, with Celestia's sun rising behind them."
*Gilda*
"Guy's I'm sure he's fine. He is the seventh element of harmony after all. Look, we're almost to Canterlot, We can tell the princesses everything, and they'll send out a search party."
"I owe him my life…" The yellow female dragon said. "We all do. What's your name anyway? You don't look too old. Maybe ten or nine."
"My name is Linda, and I'm ten. I don't have a family, so I don't know what I'll do after this. I guess I'll go to Ponyville and spread the word about the seventh element."
The group of dragons, ponies, griffons, and minotaurs all reached the gate. "Halt. Who goes there?" Someone spoke. Gilda looked up to see the captain of the royal guard, Shining Armor.
"We need to speak to the princesses." She stated.
"On what grounds?"
"The seventh element."
"Everything that could have been said about him has already been said to the princesses."
"No, there's something you're missing of vital importance!"
"What might that be?"
"He's alive!"
"Impossible, I was there when he died, I-"
"I know it's crazy, but he's alive, he saved us from the griffon arena up in the badlands. We flew fast, and we think he's somewhere in between the desert and the everfree forest!"
"He's back…? I'll alert the princesses immediately." And with that, he was off.
Sorry for taking a long time. You know, Real life stuff. Egh.
Anyway happy nightmare night (Or Halloween) hope you have fun, and thanks for reading my story. Soon, I'm going to get it on FimFiction or die trying. Love you all ;)
