"So…" Leandra snicked starting and was unable to continue.
"The boss is away…and probably not coming back for the entire day," Trial says going over some papers for the farms.
"We really going through with this?" Leandra asks.
"Yeah, Hurricane is right. We need a stable income and not just doing mercenary work either," Trial says.
"Considering there isn't that much jobs for much pay," Daring says reading a travel book while reclining on his lap.
"Besides, I like the idea of reestablishing the Fenrir branch of the lost company mercs," Trial says.
"Can we have an armory once it's up?!" Leandra asks excited.
"I would think that is the first thing you would ask for darling," Trial says.
Leandra giggles as she shuffles around. "I can't wait to grow back up again!"
"Huh?" Trial and Daring ask confused.
Leandra stops. "I mean our old base."
"Ok grandma," Daring says sarcastically.
"Grandma?!" Leandra yells fuming.
"Um…did I miss something?" Spitfire asks walking in.
"Just a little disagreement," Trial says finally putting the papers down. "So…do you girls need to do something?"
"Well it's just…" Spitfire started but blushes.
"Something to do with being my wife?" Trial asks.
"Yeah…and…well…" Spitfire tries to say as Trial chuckles.
"Okay then. Private with just us or the others joining?" Trial asks raising an eyebrow.
"I don't mind…" Spitfire says quietly.
Trial hums. "Dog, take off!" he orders and the dog looks up from chewing his big bone and shrugs before passing out the door and shuts the door behind him with his tail.
"Oh my god! Who left this turkey unattended and out of the freezer!" the dog yells outside. Trial looks to Leandra who shrugs. "I claim this turkey in the name of the dog empire!"
"Oh brother. Spitfire. You can come over now." Trial says waving her over.
"So is it official or to be done later?" Spitfire asks taking her seat.
"What part?" Trial asks wrapping an arm around her.
"Are we officially wed?" Spitfire asks getting annoyed he was dancing around the question on purpose.
"Oh. You became wed to me the moment you accepted me. And really held it together when you took me gladly," Trial says grinning as he reaches around and pinches her flank. "Mine."
"Don't do that!" Spitfire growls.
"Oh, now you're turning into quite the spitfire," Trial teases.
Spitfire only slaps him upside the head.
"Oh, you are definitely worthy to be his wife. You will help keep him in line," Leandra says before laughing.
Trial hums. "If you won't take some good flank fondling, I can agree to some other ways," he says chuckling.
"Take this seriously," Spitfire says with authority.
"Oh, maybe I was wrong about you," Hurricane says walking in.
Trial rolls his eyes. "I don't do rings. Too easy to be mugged."
"Well then, I guess I will have to do you more often to remind myself I am your wife," Daring says.
"I was thinking choker…collar?" Trial offers, thinking of the many ways back then.
"Come at us with a collar and we will castrate you," Hurricane threatens.
"Why does it feel like I'm going to get less?" Trial muses.
"Because you said something stupid," Leandra says in a sing song tone.
"I was going by what we went by in our time," Trial tries to defend.
"Even then, collars weren't done. In fact, nearly outlawed, remember?" Leandra asks.
"Yeah. But I did remember seeing the stupid noble's wives wearing them…though gaudy as Tartarus," Trial says shrugging.
"Now then. We have to meet up with the rest of my slacker team in Appleloosa so we will be gone a while." Spitfire informs.
"Aw. No goodbye time?" Trial asks smirking.
"Shut up and I give you a goodbye kiss." Spitfire informs.
Trial laughs before giving a quick kiss to her cheek. "Go on. We'll be here."
"You better and when I get back, we will be discussing some changes," Spitfire informs as she leaves with Fleetfoot and Glide.
"Yeah, yeah," Trial says waving a hand.
"Work on that ass while you are at it," Leandra calls after her.
"You work on your lion ass then." Spitfire calls back.
Trial laughed hearing that. "Leandra, you got competition," Trial informs.
Leandra just uses a rolled up newspaper and slaps his across the head.
"Now then," Trial says getting up with Daring. "I have to go and turn these end with the payment," Trial says heading for the door with the papers. "Thank you my golden mare," Trial says chuckling.
"I'm not giving you any of my money," Daring says.
"Worth a shot," Trial says heading out.
"And now that he is gone…what are the plans for this town?" Hurricane asks looking to the two left.
"I'm not taking over. Too much of a hassle," Leandra says laying back.
"Daring?" Hurricane asks. "You as a pegasus would know about this."
"Leave it be Hurricane." Daring says.
"I need to take over and show those prissy ponies who's in charge," Hurricane says frowning.
"Daring, I have been meaning to ask. Can you help get Hurricane up to date on what has been happening?" Leandra asks.
"Sure. It's only fair," Daring says smiling.
"What are you talking about?" Hurricane asks curiously.
Trial sighs as he walks down the street. Suddenly, he heard a whistle. "Come on! We got a schedule to keep you lot!" some mare yells.
Looking up, he sees Rainbow ordering around a bunch of pegasus as they move around the dark clouds and kicks it slightly and rain comes out, starting to hit the ground. "The fuck?" Trial could only ask.
"Not yet, Lightning Streak!" Rainbow calls before facepalming.
"Sorry. But we need rain right this minute don't we?" The black mare asks.
"Not yet. The schedule says in ten minutes. We aren't even done setting up yet." Rainbow says.
"Sorry." Lightning says trying to stop the cloud.
"Dang it Lightning. You got your sense of timing fucked out of you when you went to the bar last night?" Thunder Clap asks flying past her, pushing a cloud.
"Oh don't start with me Thunder!" Lightning yells back.
Rainbow blew her whistle to get their attention and yelled, "Back to work you two!"
Trial watches with a raised eyebrow at that. 'Didn't know she can be commanding.'
"Hey Rainbow. You got an admirer," one of the stallions calls smirking.
Rainbow looks down and frowns. "Ah great," she says flying down to Trial and crosses her arms at him.
"So it is supposed to rain?" Trial asks. making small talk and not opening with a backhanded comment or silence to her surprise.
Rainbow blinks and rubs the back of her head. "Well…yeah. Crops need the rain and so do all the flowers here."
"So you are wearing pants today I see," Trial says.
Rainbow sighs. "Knew you wouldn't change."
"Why would I? I am still bitter and for good reasons. You can't deny it, can you?" Trial asks.
"Of course I can," Rainbow says rolling her eyes.
"How so?" Trial asks.
"Even though he killed, it won't be any different then and now. It's, as Dusk would say, the problems with any piece of history. Killing to suit the problem," Rainbow says before groaning. "Egghead has to keep his lectures to himself.
"And him throwing the blame on me and others and ordering our deaths to suit his wants?" Trial asks.
Rainbow didn't say much before flying back to where she saw. "Yep. Didn't change."
"Could you so easily after that?" Trial calls, freezing her mid flight.
"Ok, what do you want?" Rainbow suddenly asks in his face.
"How about a date?" Trial says as Rainbow couldn't make out his expression under his scarf and goggles covering up his entire face.
Rainbow frowns heavily before sighing. "If it makes you shut up and pay for my meal."
"Alright," Trial says surprising her as no stallion ever asked her out or even was willing to pay.
A/N: Here is the second time I tried this. Yeah. No good. At least the third may be grounded in reality. Doubt it, but it's worth a shot. Anycase, enjoy what we have here and the others listed around us.
