Hello again and welcome to Chapter 7 of my fanfic! Sorry, I haven't published this. I supposed to publish this yesterday but I'm out of my country. I hope this chapter will make your heart pump in excitement! I also made a slight change with the title of this Fanfic so it's not so out of topic. Well, Enjoy!

CHAPTER 7: Pinkie's Confession?

Leafy woke up from his bed like what he did everyday yawning while stretching his body and thought about the note Ted left behind yesterday. He was very curious on what it was about and thought did he have still gotten a grudge on Patrick.

'Dear Leafy, I can't just lounge on the couch of your house doing nothing, I've decided that we'd trap in Ponyville forever, I need to find myself a house and go to work. Don't try to find me because I need a space alone. –Ted'

He scratched his head and picked the note he left on his bed table. He tore it apart and threw it away thinking of giving his friend some 'space' and try forgetting about it. He went downstairs thinking of having a spar with Danny which he'd longed for it. He saw Danny was outside practicing his arm trusts technique; Leafy trotted outside thinking of giving him a morning greet. Danny waved back at Leafy giving him a heart-warming smile.

"Hey, Danny! Let's have a short spar!" Leafy said smirked at him getting ready his new stance and fighting technique he have been working at that he called 'Hoof-Fah' which he'd thought it sounds pretty catchy. Danny laughed it off and shook his hoof taunting Leafy to give the best he'd got.

Leafy charged forward with full speed sending a hoof kick towards Danny but he'd got it countered with just one hoof giving a strong hit on impact. Danny swung his other hoof toward Leafy but of course, Leafy was agile like a monkey and jumped up handstanding on his arm making a backflip to his backside. He gave a roundhouse kick to Danny but he was very smart, he knows that Leafy always tries hitting a person on their blind spot and he'd quickly swung his hoof to his back giving Leafy strong thrust to his leg countering it.

Leafy smirked using his back leg making another backflip aiming Danny's head. It hit Danny but he withstood it giving a strong impact of hoof thrust to Leafy's belly sending him flying up in the air. He knows this is his chance making a combo of hoof thrusts midair. He jumps up lunging towards Leafy trying to make the combo in his thought; Leafy breathed slowly slowing his environments and went to the back side of Danny and kicked him upwards. He went down to the ground and pushed his back legs jumping up again speeding towards to Danny making a frontflip in midair kicking Danny with full force sending him to the ground with big impact.

Leafy smiled and fell down too tired to move; the move he used was his secret technique with slows his heart rate slowing his surroundings but also dangerous to him which has a limit. Danny galloped towards Leafy catching him in midair carrying him back to the ground slowly.

Danny frowned at Leafy which he warned him not to use this move back when they were in the club. Leafy sat himself straight up shaking head to the left and right gaining his consciousness.

"You know? You should avoid using that move on light spars like this. Remember the time you used it in our club?" Danny warned Leafy. Leafy remembered the time back when he used this move and has been sent to the hospital and was hospitalized. He swore never to use it again that time but he felt different when he arrived here. His strength, speed and agility doubled making him feel more refreshed here in Ponyville rather than back at home.

Danny grinned and pointed at the back of Leafy which Pinkie Pie was sitting watching them in amazement. She smiled and waved at Leafy which Leafy smiled and waved back at her.

"Well, I have some important things to do. Catch you later!" Danny said walking back to the house. Leafy waved at him goodbye and look towards Pinkie wondering why she was here.

"Uh…Leafy~ Can you do me a, favor?!" she asks Leafy which he nodded his head confusedly. She took a deep gulp and let out a big breath of air her cheeks turned slightly pink; she turned toward Leafy and stared at his brown eyes trying to make up the words that she was trying to say.

"Well, first! Will… you g-go" she stopped her words which made Leafy looked at her confusedly. Her cheeks turned darker becoming red feeling embarrassed to what she will say next.

"W-Will you go out with me!" she yelled loudly which made Leafy sat there staring at her astonished by what she said. He thought that this was just a friendly invitation inviting him out to have fun. He smiled and nodded in agreement which made Pinkie smiled and went straight toward him for a hug.

She squeezed him hardly which made no 'suffocating' effects to Leafy. Just Leafy was able to withstand her hugs. He wrapped his arms around her giving her a hug back and released her.

"Where we'll go?" he asked her excitedly which made Pinkie thought for a while. She never planned this which she had no idea where to bring the red pony. Leafy tilted his head thinking of where should they go thought about a wide area in the Sweet Apple Acres. It looks fun galloping around that place so he suggested her that they would go there.

"Yes! That's a great idea!" she said happily hoping up and down. She thought that the sunset there would look great and thought about saying something 'special' to Leafy. She tensed her shoulders just thinking about it; Leafy pushed her lightly at the back happily which made her feel better and smiled widely.

On their way there, he saw a certain fast-yellow Pegasus with a rainbow maned Pegasus talking to each other. He galloped towards to their place to check out what's happening. The rainbow Pegasus spread her wings showing the yellow Pegasus on how to control by opening and closing it.

"Bolten! This is how you open your wings! How can you even open it with that cape on your back?" Rainbow Dash face-hoofed herself and shook her head to the left and right looking at her silly yellow friend. Bolten giggled and stood straight making him look noble like a knight.

"No! I'm the captain of the cutie mark crusaders club and I promised that I won't open my cape no matter what!" he soluted himself which made Pinkie and Leafy chuckled. Bolten looked at both of them and sped himself quickly towards them as he tilted his head in confusion.

"Who are you guys?" he asked them both as Rainbow dash followed him from behind. Pinkie jumped towards her giving her the hug that she hated that made her suffocated for a second there.

"This is Pinkie and the other guy is Leafy. He's a cool guy!" Rainbow Dash said doing a barrel roll in midair. Leafy smiled and waved at Bolten which made him smiled widely trotting around Leafy very fast.

"Dude! Long time no see! You were here all along?" he asked while giving a burst of laughter. Leafy told him everything which he got bored listening at the middle part of the conversation and ran towards Rainbow Dash. She giggled at Bolten descending down to slap him at the back.

"How can you be a 'captain' of a foal's club?! You're Hilarious!" she laughed at him while rolling on the floor. He frowned and turned away looking at the sky.

"It's not about how they look; it's about how they can trust you being their leader…" he said which made Pinkie and Rainbow Dash looked at him with surprise. Leafy smirked at him because he had heard his words before when he got betrayed by his older friends which made him cried. Leafy and Danny saw him and backed him up and now they're best friends.

After a while, Leafy and Pinkie waved good bye and continued their journey to Sweet Apple Acres. Pinkie stared at Leafy the whole time while they walking to their destination. Leafy noticed her and asked what was in her mind. She smiled softly and replied back at him.

"It's really wonderful how your friends really liked you Leafy. You really have very good friends!" she yelled happily which made Leafy giggled and smile. Leafy looked up to the sky and thought about it which made him smiled just like when he thought about his mom.

"It's really nice having friends, especially like a mare like you!" he said which made Pinkie blushed and smiled at him shyly. He smiled back and they continued walking together, side by side to Sweet Apple Acres.

Ted woke up somewhere which was not on Leafy's couch. He scrubbed his eye and looked at the surrounding environment. He walked out of the dark room and saw a corridor, straight ahead is a room. He walked on the red carpet pathway towards the room with an eerie feeling. He went inside a room and heard a voice.

"I have been expecting you, Ted…" he said but Ted can't see his face properly due to his mane colour which was black. It's really hard for him to see how his face looks like but he has glowing green eyes with a red pupil.

"Who are you?" he said making a stance to charge. He laughed it off and turned his chair towards him. He has a shadowy mane with a red glowing horn which looked like it has been possessed with pure evil. He shot a dark laser beam towards Ted which made his mane turn black, dark blue and his wing span increase.

Ted looked really angry full of hatred. He looked at the unknown stallion with full content of anger. He growled and glared at him. Ted's cutie mark also changed into glowing red glasses and he has a strange black aura surrounding him.

"Ben, come in…" the black stallion called a dark grey pony with a cutie mark that looked like a mask with eyes filled with anger. The grey pony came in which an emotionless look and bowed down at the black stallion.

"I am King Sombra. I shall show you something that you must hate." He said with a serious face bringing Ted towards another room with a single orb in the middle. Ted watched curiously and saw his two friends, Leafy and Patrick laughing at him. He turned towards Ted who was looking at the orb with tears falling down his cheeks.

"This will happen to you in the future, I shall help you take revenge on your friends or should I say, 'Enemy'…" King Sombra told Ted who made him bowed at him. His laugh filled the whole room as Ted followed him laughing with pure evil.

Pinkie and Leafy reached Sweet Apple Acres and saw Applejack and Big McIntosh apple-bucking the apple trees. Leafy went towards them to greet his fellow friend, Applejack but Pinkie quickly jumped towards him and sat on top of Leafy putting a hoof on his mouth looking closely at his face .

"Sssshhhh! We can't let them know we're here! Let's sneak pass them slowly…" she said with blush which made Leafy felt curious but agreed to his best friend.

"Ah' now what y'all two doin' here, behind tha' bush?" Applejack appeared behind Pinkie with a grin on her face. Big McIntosh tilted his head looking at his sister which was behind the bush not knowing who she is talking to. He shrugged it off and trotted back to the barn carrying a full basket of apples.

Pinkie reddened from top to bottom mumbling words to explain what are they doing here and most importantly, how she end up on top of him. Applejack smiled and winked at Leafy which made him tilted his head in confusion. She face-hoofed herself and rolled her eyes to the side.

"W-Well, I came here to confess…" she whispered at Applejack with her red face. Applejack tilted her head in confusion what is she going to confess.

"Ah' Sugarcube? Confess what now?" she asked the pink pony. The pink pony filled her lungs with air and puffing it out with full force. She looked at Leafy which was looking at her back confusedly as she blushed and looked back at Applejack. Applejack has been smiling cheekily all the time and know what she was going to say.

"Confess… my love towards a certain somepony…" she said looking and scrubbing her hoof on the ground. Applejack patted her hoof on Pinkie's back understood what she meant by a 'certain somepony' .

"Well scrub ma' hoof with an apple! That's wonderful Pinkie!" she said smiling back at her pink party friend which made her smile and made her blush go away. Leafy went closer to Pinkie and held her shoulder looking at her wondering what made her so stressed out.

"Are you okay Pinkie? You look really red…" he put his hoof on hers staring at her worriedly. Pinkie looked at him and smiled shaking her head from left to right telling him that nothing happened. Applejack looked at both of the 'love-birds' and waved them goodbye returning back to her barn with her basket full of apples.

Pinkie looked at Leafy and smiled pulling his hoof as Leafy happily followed her. They arrived at the west part of Sweet Apple Acres, it was already sunset and the view was very beautiful. Pinkie pulled Leafy to the middle part of the wide area and looked at him in the face.

Leafy tilted his head wondering what she's doing looking at him closely in the eyes. Pinkie took a deep breath and hugged Leafy really tightly. Leafy was shocked by this but he shrugged it off and hugged her back.

"Leafy! You always make my day the happiest day ever!" she said whispering loudly beside Leafy's ear. Leafy giggled and let go of the hug he made to her. He smiled which made Pinkie blushed and nervous about what she's going to say.

"Leafy… T-There's something in my mind that I wanted to tell you!" she said loudly trying to be brave. Leafy tilted his head to the side confusedly and asked her to continue her words.

"W-Well… I wanted to say, I-I… l-love…-" Leafy threw her up in the air and countered the attack that a dark grey pony made. He caught Pinkie in midair and landed safely setting her down. She blushed but quickly recovered wondering who was attacking them at the time like this.

"Who are you…?" Leafy asked with a fierce look. The grey pony kept quiet emotionlessly and charged forward towards Leafy. Leafy jumped up making a backflip in midair landing behind the unknown pony. Pinkie watched worriedly looking at them fighting in midair. It was like the grey pony is equally strong like Leafy.

Leafy gasped for air getting tired for the pass minutes of fighting but the other pony just kept quiet with no fatigue. He looked at him with anger as he thought about how weak he was. He looked at his hoof and looked back at him wondering what make him this strong.

The grey pony looked at Pinkie as she smiled awkwardly back at him. He galloped towards Pinkie and grabbed her trying to run away.

"Help me! Somepony!" she yelled loudly trying to make him to let her go but he withstands the kicking still galloping away. Leafy chased him looking worriedly at the pink pony. The pink pony shed a tear which made him fueled with anger. He used the 'banned technique' that Danny warned him earlier but he had no choice.

He slowed down his heart beat which made him charge forward dashing like blinded light. He kicked the grey pony from the bottom sending him to the air with Pinkie falling down to the earth. Leafy quickly grabbed Pinkie and set her to the ground and dashed back to the sky.

He closed his eye making his muscles harden like iron steel. That's was his second technique which he kept it a secret from Danny. His eyes changed colour becoming bloody red and kicked him higher up into the sky. He kicked the grey pony while in midair and made a 'turn-table kick' to his chest. Pinkie cheered happily on the ground help making Leafy feel more relaxed but it didn't work. Leafy used his back legs kicking the grey pony to the stomach and said out loudly that made Pinkie shed a tear of happiness.

"Never hurt my friend especially Pinkie!" and sent the grey pony to the ground with a very high impact causing a massive quake. The grey pony stayed there paralyzed which a cloud of blue smoke appeared and teleported him away. Pinkie tilted her head slightly to the side wondering what the blue smoke was. She quickly recovered from her thoughts and saw Leafy falling down from the sky.

His red eyes faded away and his muscles recovered but he became very weak. His heart slowed down by the minute as a result of using the two techniques at the same time. Pinkie quickly caught Leafy which fell on top of her. She look at Leafy in the face as she saw his eyes slowly shut. She cried holding Leafy's cheeks asking him to wake up.

"Leafy! Stay… with me! Don't… go…away!" she yelled tears falling down to his cheeks. Her blush quickly rises as she cried trying to wake him up. Leafy heard her cries slowly opening his eyes looking at her close to her face.

"*Sniff*… Leafy… You're awake?" she said smiling lightly which made Leafy smiled back at her. He held his hoof up towards her tears rubbing it off telling her not to cry.

"Pinkie… I'm… going… to fade…away… Tell everyone that I had a good…time" he said as he fell unconscious on Pinkie's shoulders. Applejack came running towards them after she heard the slight quake. She saw Pinkie crying on Leafy's chest as her mane turning from puffy pink into a gloomy straightened hair. Applejack quickly ran towards them looking at Leafy with an astonished look.

"What in tar nation…" she said as she set her hat to her chest looking down at Leafy. Pinkie looked at Applejack with her wet pink cheeks still tears flowing down trying to make a word of what happened. Applejack held her hoof on Pinkie's lips asking her to stop explaining it and do important things first.

"*Sniff* Applejack… Help me send him to the hospital… *Sniff*" she said trying hard to smile but kept frowning. Applejack shed some tear looking at her desperate friend and nodded.
