A/N Hello my readers, this is Agent Colt. Today I have a nice chapter for you today.
It took me a while to recover but now I'm back and healthy like a Russian now and- *FPS Russia shooting a AA12 at the agent*
(FPS_Russia) That's for stealing my lines, Suka!

(James) *walks in* hey Colt, we ran into a few proble- 0_0
(FPS_Russia) Don't worry, I am a professional Russian.
(James) Oh hell no, you just delayed the wrong guy's pay check shit head! *pulls out Death machine)
*Gunfire errupts in my office and loses connection to Langley*
Fluttershy could barely see the road with the moonlight but she could clearly see James in front of her, holding onto the wolf that attempted to attack her. The wolf snapped at him and struggled to break free from his clutches but James chuckled at it's discomfort this wolf was experiencing.
"Feisty little bugger, ain't ya pup?" he said, still seemed a little buzzed from that vodka earlier at the karaoke.
"If ya'll done with the chit chat, Could SOMEPONY give me a hoof!" The cowmare struggled with the wolf on top her, doing her best to prevent it from getting biting her.
"hey, Don't t-*hic*talk so loud. You'll give a guy a head ache." he replied.
"Oh Ah'm terribly sorry, Ah didn't realize ya'll get terrible headaches. Could Ya kindly please GIVE THIS MARE A DOG-GONE HELP BEFORE AH BUCK YOUR HEAD STRAIGHT TOWARD WHERE NIGHTMARE MOON WAS-" she was interrupted when James threw the wolf he had against the wolf that was on top of her.
Applejack took this as her cue to get back on her legs and gallop for cover.
Fluttershy did the same but James stayed there.
"What is he doing h-he'll get hurt." Fluttershy said.
"James, get out o'there, Can't ya see ya'll are out numbered?!" Applejack shouted.
But James didn't move from his spot. Instead, he sat down on the floor and started snickering.
"What in-tarnation is he doing?"
"I-I think he's... laughing." as Fluttershy replied, she noticed all the pack was focused on him.
"I've fought... a thousands of *hic* Vietnamese soldiers single handed while I had nothing but my SweEEet 16. *hic* This here's a picnic compared to that." as James finished, he tripped over his own leg and hit face first while Applejack facehoofed.
Fluttershy was worried, she counted 16 wolves in all. 16 wolves baring their teeth, ready to rip the human to shreds. Despite this, James just laughed like how Pinkie pie would laugh to overcome fear.
Finally one wolf attacked. It leaped into the air and was about to sink his teeth. In instant, Fluttershy closed her eyes, daring not to look at the gore until something else happened. She heard a loud yelp and whimpers from a wolf. When she opened her eyes, she saw James on his feet with the wolf pinned to the could see the wolves around him back off as it saw one of their pack get attacked by their prey.
James took a glance to each of the wolves. A normal (or sober) man wouldn't be able to see it, but he could clearly see their fears like reading off a book.
"*hic* not so tough when one of yours is hurt now are ya?" he said, he loosens his grip and the wolf scampered off into a nearby bush.
The remaining wolves bared their teeth still determined to get their dinner. One leaped into the air, getting onto his back but James simply fell behind, pinning the wolf between him and the ground. He quickly got back up and tried to keep his balance but fell forward.
"Ya' know, Ah reckon this would'be mighty, as Rainbow would say, awesome. If he weren't drunk." Applejack said, but Fluttershy paid no attention. All of her attention was focused on James.
"I-is... is this how humans fight?" she asked herself.
"Ah d'nt know for sure but he sure knows how to handle himself." Applejack replied.
But just when they thought he could handle them, a wolf jumped onto his back and began scratching and biting onto his shoulder.
"Hey, *hic* get off me! I ain't your chew toy!" James yelled.
Suddenly he shouts in pain as another wolf bites down on his leg. Then more joined as they leaped on top of James.
"Fluttershy, Don't look!" Applejack shouted as she hid the Pegasus's eyes. Both mares heard James scream. They tried to drown out his scream but then suddenly his screams became laughs.
Applejack lets go of Fluttershy as they once again look a James.
All they saw were the pack, unconscious and twitching, watching the stars spin around their heads on the floor while James was dancing in victory.
"You can't touch this, daa-da-da-da-da-da You can't touch this!"
His expression changed when he heard a growl from behind him. When he turned around, he saw a wolf dangling on his butt.
He looked at to the two mares and said, "Except this guy."
He began to run around in circles as he tried to get the wolf off his butt while screaming, "Oh sweet mother of Holy hand grenade, This hurts more than the Colt's stupidity!"
Meanwhile, somewhere in Langley, Virginia USA
0_0 ...Did someone just insult me?... and why do I have a urge to kick James' ass... hmph. *Drinks Vodka* Man that's good stuff. Hurg! *Dies of kidney failure* X_X
*Twilight walks in* *notices James* Oh horeapples, Spike! Get another ambulance!
Applejack and Fluttershy stared at James from their hiding spot while the orange mare snickered "Ah can't truthfully tell if this is painful or darn right hilarious." she said, trying her best to hold back laughs.
"We should help." Fluttershy said.
"Alright, Ya'll get the pup, Ah'll go help James." when she finished, they went after James and the wolf.
When they caught up with James, Applejack managed to 'make' the wolf get off him. Fluttershy scold the wolf for attacking him and the girls using her 'stare' while Applejack calmed James down like she sould with her sister.
"Now think about what you did today and apologize to the poor human."
"(wolf talk) But he hurt my friends..."
"Only because you attacked him, he had to do what he did in self defense. You attacked him so that you could eat him!"
The wolf coward in fear as it looked at Fluttershy's teal stare. It walked up to James and said. "I'm sorry." then looked back at Fluttershy.
"Now you run off with your friends and head straight to home. If you want dinner then come to my cottage and I'll feed you." The wolf then scampered off and chased after it's pack, back into the forest.
The rest of the trip was smooth and they managed to arrive at Fluttershy's cottage safely. Applejack and Fluttershy guided James upstairs since he still seemed to have alcohol in his system.
"There we go," Applejack said as they placed James in to Fluttershy's bed. "So Shy, think you can take care of the rest here?"
"Yes, I-I just need some bandages and alcohol wipes and I''m sure he'll be okay." Fluttershy replied.
"Well, glad to hear that. Ah'll see yall tomorow. Good night Shy." Applejack said, hooking her self onto her cart and walking down the road. Fluttershy said her goodbye and went back in her home. Once inside, she went upstairs into her room to check on certain someone.
In her bed, James slept soundly. She brought out a first aid kit out of her closet and; with a little difficulty, took off his jacket and exposed his torso where he was bitten. She applied the alcohol onto a cloth and wiped his injuries. Occasionally he would wince but he didn't struggle. When she finished bandaging, she put the kit away back in her closet. As she was about leave, she heard James talk in his sleep.
"M-mom, Dad?...I-I'm sorry..." he said, "I'm sorry..." he kept repeating himself and he began to sob softly in his sleep. Fluttershy couldn't help to walk away so she went up to James and tried to comfort him in his sleep. Suddenly, he grabbed onto her hoof, causing her to jump back. She didn't know how to react. In fact she panicked and thought of waking him up but instead she calmed down placed her hoof ontop of his head and began to stroke his hair in attempt to calm him down. "It's okay James. Your safe here with me." she said, whispering into his ear. She noticed he began to clam down but still in discomfort. So she sang a lullaby next to him.
"Hush now, Quiet now.
It's time to lay your sleepy head.
Hush now, Quiet now.
It's time to go to bed.
Driftin off to sleep.
The exciting day behind you.
Drifting off to sleep.
Let the joy of dream land find you.
Hush now, Quiet now.
Lay your sleepy head.
hush now,Quiet now,
It's time to go to bed."
As the song ended, she converted her singing into humming as James was deep in his sleep.
"Sweet dreams." she whispered.
But as she tried to exit, her hoof was tugged when she realized he didn't let go of his grip.
She looked down at James and just smiled. So without disturbing James, she tucked herself into bed and fell asleep along with him.
Morning came, she woke up like every other morning. Only somepony or somehuman was breathing lightly against her fur.
When she opened her eyes, she (literally) flew out of her bed when she saw how close Jame's face was to hers. She was blushing bright red and hyperventilating.
Angel hopped out of his bed and smacked her. Shoving a alarm clock in her face, telling her "Do you even know what time it is right now?!"
"Oh I'm sorry I woke you up," she apologized, "let me make your breakfast, and to make it up for you, I'll make your special salad for today."
Upon hearing the offer, the little rabbit (who I so want to kill for committing a sin) dropped the clock and chased after his yellow, shy owner.
Present day
The steam from the kettle on the stove blew it's whistle loudly, bringing the Pegasus back to conscience. Realizing the water was now boiling, she removed the kettle off the hot stove and poured the hot water through a coffee filter. Within seconds, the kitchen began to fill with a tempting aroma.
She removed the filter and took hold of the cup.
"Um, James your coffee is um, ready..." she called out, but didn't receive a reply.
Curious, she flew out to the living room only to find it empty.
"James?"
She heard him say, "I'm out front." from out side her cottage.
She saw James out on the porch, breathing out some sort of smoke out of his mouth. It reminded her of a dragon, which she feared very much. But James didn't look like a mean, full grown dragon so she had no reason to be afraid of.
Fluttershy set the cup on the rail for James and stood next to him.
"Here's that coffee you wanted." she said.
James looked at Fluttershy and thanks her for the coffee. Before he grabs the cup, he pulls out a small cylinder out of his pocket and places the object he had in his mouth in the container. Once he place the container back in his pocket, he carries the cup to his mouth, savoring the bitter taste.
"I-I hope you don't mind black coffee, I don't have any sweeteners at the moment." she said, hiding her face under her mane.
"Black is fine, although I do kinda want a creamer."
"I don't usually make coffee unless I have to take care of the nocturnal animals sometimes at night but I wasn't so sure how you liked yours."
"I never cared much about my drinks being bitter or sweet. I just drank anything that could keep me from dehydrating or keep me awake." he said as he sipped the caffeinated beverage.
"Um, if you don't mind me changing the subject, how are you able to breath smoke?" she asked. James looked at her confused.
"What do you mean by that?"
"I-I mean I saw you breathing out smoke like you were a dragon. Were you raised by dragons?"
"Oh, you mean my cigarettes?" he said, pulling out a carton full of thin rods of paper filled with some kind of plant.
"It's a product ivented by humans for... dare I say; narcotic purposes. I generally use it sometimes to think things out or calm myself down. And as for my parents being a dragon, uh dragons don't exist. Only as myths."
"But there's a plenty of dragons here in Equestria." Fluttershy replied.
James looked at her with disbelief but said, "Rephrase; there aren't any dragons in my world. At least, not as how people believes. Although I can see that I could be a dragon if my father was still alive."
"Really, so your father was a dragon?"
"Not exactly, my father's name was Augustus Draco. The term Draco is derived from a language called Latin and it means dragon. So in a few ways I have a ancestry with a dragon."
"That's amazing."
"I know, I think it's a cool name too."
Fluttershy shook her head. "Not the name, I meant about you." she said.
"Me?" he asked, setting down the cup on the railing. "I don't think there's anything great about me...I'm just a monster of a human, god's creation of mistake. It's kinda also the reason why I joined the army."
"But your wrong," she retorted, "I know we only met a couple of days ago but you're not a monster. Truth is, th-there are monsters everywhere in Equestria, some even live around here but you have something those mean monsters don't have James." she fluttered her wings and hovered to James' height and hugged him around his neck tightly while she whispered into his ear.
"You have kind and caring friends that can help you."
James was taken by surprise of Fluttershy's sudden action, but he returned the hug and smiled, warming his heart. This moment was interrupted when he heard a familiar, yet dreadful noise of a charge handle being pulled.
By reflex, he shouts, "GET DOWN!" while still holding Fluttershy, he drops to the floor with her and gunfire shatters the glasses on her window and the coffee cup. He protects her from the falling shards with his body and lets go of her.
"W-w-what happened!?" she screamed, obviously terrified of the attack.
"Stay low and don't move till I say so!" he said.
Fluttershy just nods and covers her head.
James carefully looked around the corner and gasped as he saw the attackers. He recognized every detail but couldn't believe his own eyes.
All he could responded was, "What the hell are the Viet Congs doing here..."
