BANG

John fell to the ground dead, Scott ran to his son. He was shot through the head, Scott looked up and saw Vinyl with a desert eagle. she lowered her gun. Scott yelled "YOU SON OF A BITCH."

He hit her in the face with the butt of his rifle, she kicked him in the chest and pushed him back towards his friends. She aimed her pistol at his head and was about to pull the trigger but Applejack shot the gun out of her grasp.

Vinyl yells "GURADS GET THEM."

Scott yelled to his friends "RUN."

The 8 ran into the forest behind them, the 10 guards followed suit. Scott turned around and kill 3 guards then continued running, they reached the other side of the forest, turned around and aimed ready to fire. The 7 guards came out and were about to fire but they were killed by the 8 friends, the guards fell and the friends ran for what felt like years until they were sure they were safer (no one (or in this case pony) is safe just safer) than before. They had passed through another forest and settled on top of a hill near a tree. Scott put his head in his hooves and began to cry, Applejack and Flutter shy comforted his in his pain.

Flutter shy says in a comforting way "Shh shh, It's ok. your son is in a better place. I felt the same way when I lost Angle but I have moved on."

Applejack says in a comforting way "It's ok sugarcube, I won't let her hurt you."

Scott says "T-Thanks both o-of you, I'm gonna t-take a nap."

Flutter shy says "That would help, you need a rest. Its almost night, we should get to sleep.

Rainbow dash lit a fire to keep timber wolves away.

The next morning Scott woke first, yawned and got up. He walked to the edge of the hill and pulled a pack of cigarettes out of his saddle bag. He pulled one out of the pack and the lighter, lit the cigarette, and put both pack and lighter back in his saddle bag. He took a drag and flicked the ash off onto the dirt. Twilight woke next and saw Scott smoking, she sat next to him.

Twilight says "Good morning Scott, how did you sleep?"

Scott replies "Alright, how did you sleep?"

Twilight says "Ok, I have a question."

Scott asks "What is that?"

Twilight answers "May I have a drag of your cigarette?"

Scott says "Wow, the princess smokes."

Twilight gives a playful shove and says "Only on occasions."

He hands her the cigarette, takes a drag, and gives it back.

Twilight says "Don't tell anypony else I smoke. Celestia would be mad."

Scott replies "Ok."

Scott finishes his cigarette and gets back. He goes to his marefriend and wakes her up.

Applejack says "Mornin Scott -yawns- how did you sleep?"

Scott replies "Alright, how about you."

Applejack answers "Alright."

Scott helps her up and pecks her on the lips, she backs away and says "What is that on your breath?"

Scott sighs and says "Ok, don't freak out on me, but I smoke."

Applejack replies "Oh, why?"

Scott answers "I don't know, I just sort of caught on. My friends did it so I did it to."

Applejack asks "How many do you smoke a day?"

Scott answers "3, 1 when I wake up, 1 during the day, and 1 before bed."

Applejack says "Good, keep it at that."

Twilight POV

I walk to my pink lover who is still asleep, she is so beautiful when she sleeps. I sit next to her and give her a peck on the check, she wakes with a yawn. She looks into my eyes and I look back into hers, we share another kiss and she says "Good morning Twilight"

I asked "How did you sleep honey?"

Pinkie answers "Good, how about my Twipie, did she sleep good?"

I answer "I slept good, cuddling with you."

Pinkie giggles and gives me a peck on the lips. She stood up and stretched, Pinkie asks me "Want to help me make breakfast?"

I reply "With the one I love, anytime."

Pinkie says "Oh, I love you 2."

We walked away to find food.

After we got the food (grass and sun flower seeds) we separated what we got equally.

I peak my head around the tree and say "Breakfast is ready."

So, Scott and Twilight smoke, Vinyl killed John. Why would she do that, what could happen next. Find out tomorrow in "A returning." See you later.
