YEAH SORRY ABOUT THE SHORTER CHAPTER

BUT ENJOY ANYWAY, OR I'LL FIND YOU AND BAD THINGS WILL HAPPEN.

Derek woke to the sound of shit breaking.

"Damnit all!" He heard Red say. Derek got up and walked into the main room.

"What the hell are you doing?" Derek asked as he rubbed the sleep from his eyes.

"Well, I was going to go outside, but this stupid fucking coffee table decided it had to impale itself in my leg." Red said as he rubbed his leg.

"Sarcasm." Derek said as he walked to the door.

"What are you doing?" Red asked as he limped to the door.

"I'm going to check on my troops, then I suppose I'll chill with Rainbow Dash." Derek said.

"I still don't get that man! You so serious and she so cocky, I figured you'd freak out, but no you went 'n got engaged." Red joked as he walked out the door with Derek.

"Hardy-fucking-har. It's just that she has the same mindset I do. We both like competition, pranks, shit like that, and the fact that I'm fucking hot." Derek said while striking a pose, making Red crack up.

"Oh ok Derek, think what you want." Red said as he lightly hit Derek on the arm.

"FUCK!" Derek yelled as he overdramatically grabbed his arm.

"Good one, dick." Red said.

"Ok, well, this is where I go to my base. I'll see you later, punk." Derek said as he flew toward the base.

"Whoa." Red said as he watched Derek fly away with amazing speed. Red continued into Ponyville. He wandered through the market , avoiding looks from ponies who didn't know of his arrival. He continued to wander until he came across a dirt road. He aimlessly followed it until he came to a house near the edge of the woods, and had animals wandering around.

"This must be Fluttershy's place." He quietly said to himself. He walked up to the house, and came across a kitten.

"Hey there little guy." Red said as he picked up the kitten. It purred and curled up in his arms.

"Oh hi R-Red." Fluttershy said from somewhere. It almost made Red jump. He realized she was hovering next to a tree, helping birds make a nest.

"Hey Fluttershy, how are you?" He said in a friendly voice.

"Oh I'm good." She said as she finished the nest and landed next to Red.

"That's good. I was just walking through, trying to get a sense of direction around here." He said as he sat down on a stump, still holding the kitten.

"Oh, well I hope you're not lost." She said.

"No, I think I got a lot of Ponyville memorized." Red said as he started to pet the kitten, which had fallen asleep in his arms.

"Oh, I see you found one of my kittens." Fluttershy said.

"Yeah, it was out front. I like cats, actually I like all animals." He said as he continued to pet the kitten.

"So you're good with animals too?" She said as she stood next to him.

"Yeah, I'm not a soldier like Derek. I like to sit back and just watch the world. I don't really like fighting, but I'll do it to protect what a care about." Red said.

"Oh that's nice." Fluttershy said as she tended to a random bunny.

Red and Fluttershy talked for almost half the day before Red decided to leave.

"Well, I should probably go find Derek. It's been fun, we should hang out more often." Red said as he gave Fluttershy a hug, which made her turn a deep shade of red. He walked off, and turned back to wave. Fluttershy involuntarily waved back and laughed.

ELSEWHERE…..

Derek was chillin on a cloud with Rainbow Dash, just talking about shit.

"So when are you going back to battle?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"I don't know, we beat those two warlords down so hard that I think Discord and the other warlords are scared." Derek replied with a smile.

"I didn't know you were going to fight Discord. Are you planning on using the Elements?" She asked.

"No, I think I need to end him permanently, but I don't know for sure yet." Derek said as he threw a ball in the air.

"DEREK! WHERE THE HELL YOU BE?" Derek heard Red yell.

"Aye! I'm up here bum!" Derek yelled down from the cloud.

"How the hell? Oh yea, powers and whatnot." Red said.

"What you need?" Derek asked.

"I don't know, I'm bored as all hell! What did you do when you first got here?" Red asked.

"Got knocked out, broke my leg, got knocked out again, got blown up, got drunk, got impaled by a warlord, the stuff I usually do ya know?" Derek said back. Rainbow Dash and Red both burst out laughing at Derek's stupid answer.

"No but seriously what is there to do around here?" Red asked.

"Well, me and Rainbow Dash here always raced, oh and she always tried to prank me, but alas, I was too fast." Derek said as he touched Rainbow Dash on the tip of her nose.

"Or maybe I was taking it easy on you!" Rainbow Dash said as he pushed Derek off the cloud.

"Ahh. I'm falling." Derek said in an emotionless voice as he fell to the ground and stopped an inch from hitting.

"Yeah…." Red said as he started to walk.

"So what you wanna go see the base?" Derek asked as he caught up.

"Sure, and maybe we can find out if I have any awesome abilities like you do!" Red said.

"Yeah, we should check that out, but after you see the base." Derek said as he started to run.

They ran for a while, and finally arrived at the base. Red couldn't believe what he saw. Thousands of vehicles and men, several aircraft flying by, and even a full sized airfield.

"You made all this?" Red asked as he stared in awe.

"Yeah, took me a day and a half to make most of this stuff. Worked pretty well when we went to war for the first time." Derek said.

"Well, I sure hope I get powers too. I want to fly around and do crazy stuff." Red said as he looked around some more.

"Hopefully we find out before another battle starts." Derek said as he stretched.

"Let go back to the house and get some drank." Red said as he started walking.

"Uh, Red?" Derek said slowly.

"Yeah?"

"You're going the wrong way." Derek said with a stupid grin.

"DAMN IT ALL!" Red shouted as Derek bolted away from him in the opposite direction. Red chased him all the way to the house.
