Author's Note: I'm planning on putting in popular ponies that aren't exactly "cannon" like Doctor Whooves, Slendermane, stuff like that. If any of you are interested in seeing how they react to Thomas, please let me know in the reviews.
Thomas: Why do I seem to keep getting hurt?
Me: Don't question me, I have very specific vision! ON TO THE STORY!
Thomas: I wanna go home.
Thomas knew right then that his idea was horrible, and with Twilight and her friends asleep he was the only one to fend them off. "Luna, I'll make a ground escape for you." He informed her as walked up to the leader, now that he had somepony to compare it too he realized how big the pack leader was. Luna even seemed small compared to the monstrous timberwolf, yet Thomas knew he had to make an escape for her by any means. He looked straight up at the timberwolf and began to speak, "Well, still chasing the stallion that bucked the crud out of you, hmm?" he had a mocking tone in his voice as he smirked at the low growl emitting from every timberwolf surrounding them.
Thomas then turned around and used his back hooves to buck the leader in it's disgusting snout, causing it to stumble back a few feet, Thomas then jumped on it's back and started jumping like Pinkie Pie would do. As the mutts began to pounce Thomas dodged by jumping to the right, allowing the pack to accidently attack their leader. Luna giggled slightly as she watched how one stallion could make a whole pack of timberwolfs look so silly, Thomas heard her giggle and blushed ever so slightly before returning to his distraction.
The Lead timberwolf, which Thomas had nicknamed "Slash", began to circle around the blue stallion along with the rest of it's pack. Thomas looked over towards Luna, "Luna, now's your chance, GO!" He yelled at the top of his lungs. Luna looked sad as she retreated from the fight, praying the young stallion would be ok, she didn't even know him yet she felt protective of him. Thomas on the other hand, was relaxed knowing that the princess escaped, "Now Slash, a ponified tank engine is about to out run a big bad timberwolf." mocked the brave little pony as he started to dash towards the clearing he made for Luna, hoping to escape.
Thomas closed his eyes as he ran, hoping to make it to an opening so he could tap into his jet hooves. Slash ran beside Thomas, his fangs snapping at his legs trying to make him fall. Thomas could see the opening, and his eyes widened as he saw another timberwolf block his escape. He closed his eyes, lowered his head and kept running, hoping he could bash through.
What Thomas didn't know was that behind the timberwolf, was a large boulder that could crush half of Ponyville if it started to roll, and as he got close to the obstacle wolf it sidestepped. Thomas went head first into the rock, his head splitting open like an apple after being stepped on by Applejack, Slash stopped right next to the stallion as he began to loose consciousness.
Thomas tried to fight the surrounding darkness engulfing him, fear beginning to wash over him as he realized that no pony was there to save him from death this time. Tear began to form in the corners of his face, as pain began to destroy him from the inside out. He let go of his breath while his mouth in the shape of an O. and to his surprise he whistled like his old engine whistle, which seemed to hurt the timberwolf's ears because they began to whine.
Thomas noticed their reaction and whistled for as long and as loud as his weakened body would let him, Slash growled and slashed him, his claws ripping through Thomas' flesh like paper, allowing warm blood to burst through the wounds on his side. He winced as the pain shot through him, yet he couldn't even scream for help because no pony would even hear him. Slash ran off with the rest of his pack, escaping the painful whistle even through it began to grow weak.
Thomas' eyes shot open, everything on him hurt like fucking hell. He tried to shift onto his side to discover that he was on a bed, then the smell of medicine and the sound of voices hit him. A hospital, that's where he was, he heard the door creak open, even the slightest sound made his head feel like it was goanna explode. He closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep, a trick he mastered when James would brag about his splendid coat,
"Okay girls, be very quite. Thomas is asleep." he heard Twilight whisper as the sound of six pairs of approaching made him cringe slightly. He groaned, acting as if he was just waking up from a deep slumber, as he sat up he felt a pair of hooves wrap around him, as he opened his eyes he saw it was Twilight, tears running down her eyes. "What where you thinking?!" she half screamed half sobbed as he softly pounded her hoof against his chest.
Thomas seemed surprised that someone he didn't even know cared what he did, "I-I...just wanted to meet the princess." he said, his head hanging low allowing his mane to cover his face. Twilight sighed and dropped a get well card in his lap then left without a word. She blamed herself for his accident, if she had kept a closer eye on him, or if she hadn't told him who she was or...or...she actually stopped right outside the hospital and started to cry.
She didn't even know him! yet she felt a connection with him, not an attraction kind of thing but like a family member or a friend. Thomas heard the crying after everypony dropped of their cards or gifts, he struggled to get out of his bed and limp over to the window, his right front leg was in a cast so he couldn't see much out of the window. Thomas was able to, however, to look straight down and she Twilight, her head in her hooves as he heard her sobs. He felt like complete shit at that point, he didn't know how but he caused a girl to cry, he HATED to see anyone cry. Yet knowing he caused it made it seem so much worse, he hobbled back over to his bed and laid there, unmoving.
An hour or so later, a reporter pony came into the room, her horn's magic keeping a pencil and pad of paper suspended in the air. "Sir, may I please have a word with you?" she asked, her tone seeming a tiny bit scared. He looked over to her and nodded, allowing her to ask away. "What happened last night with Luna and the Timberwolfs? seeing as how she claimed you as a witness." She asked, her pencil at the ready. "Well, where should I begin?" He asked then began her story, about how the Timberwolfs attacked him earlier, then how he was staying with Twilight when he saw the same Timberwolfs going for Luna so he intervened.
The next morning, the same day as his release, he was given a newspaper by one of the nurses, "Seems like your quite the popular stallion Thomas." She said slyly as Thomas turned to the front page of the paper to see a artist's rendering of him fighting against Timberwolfs, the headline read in bold italic letters "Thomas, the Swift-Hooved Guardian."
