Chapter 11

Crimson never fully retired from the army, he just didn't live in the army anymore. He will re-join if another war broke out but it was very unlikely so he would live a peaceful life in PonyVille with his new friends Twilight, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy and Spike. He couldn't ask for better friends or a better life. He had trouble fitting into civilian life in fact he still had his most trusted assault rifle, sidearm and his most trusted bayonet. But he did better than other ponies who returned from the war. Some couldn't even fit in that they remained in the army which may sound crazy but sometimes civilian life is just too peaceful to be true. Unless you live in PonyVille and are friends with Twilight and her friends. Crimson loved going on the adventures they go on but his mind is still clouded by what he did. Rainbow Dash grew a fond of him. She loved hanging around him because he's really hard to beat in a race. He's the first pony who has beaten her but it's more of a 70-30 percent chance of him winning. Sometimes Rainbow Dash wins as well but he's never a sore loser about it or a sore winner. Sometimes Rainbow Dash gets carried away and she does become a sore winner but that doesn't bother Crimson at all. He just smiles and rolls his eyes and says. "Bet you can't beat me a second time." With the response always.

"Oh I bet I can." Although Crimson does like to read as well and sometimes goes to Twilights library to find some books that he likes but Rainbow Dash isn't worried. Twilight's in love with Flash Sentry but no-pony knows why except for Crimson who goes into the portal with her. Crimson also likes caring for the animals. He's very patient especially with Fluttershy and is always happy to help out. On the farm Crimson occasionally makes delivers but is always happy to help buck some apples if he has any time on his hands which he usually does. Crimson often needs repairs on his uniform because he wears it most of the time to make him feel like he still belongs in the army so he goes to Rarity to repair it. He can repair it himself but Rarity can do it faster. Crimson insists on giving her money for her work but she declines it saying that for her friends she'd be happy to do it for free. He sometimes visits his friends in other parts of Equestria but they more or less come to him in Equestria where he would introduce them to his friends and then talk to them in his house while Pinkie Pie secretly makes them a party to celebrate them. They never talk about the war anymore more just about politics and what's going on at their end on Equestria. It's hard to talk about something you wish you could forget instantly like it never happened. When Twilight versed Lord Tirek Crimson was right by her side helping her. More of a distraction then anything to Tirek. Before Twilight got her castle Crimson knew that Twilight felt like she did nothing to help Equestria but pointed out to her that she's only young and that it's good of them that they aren't giving you such important roles because it would probably be a big strain on her. Crimson would have been right in most cases but Twilight was a natural at being the Princess of Friendship. It's unknown what Crimsons Element of Harmony is. He has many aspects like kindness, loyalty, honesty and generosity but those roles have already been taken. Some ponies have thought that he should be the Element of Noble. But destiny decides that.
