Chapter 4 Sail

We all have dreams when we are young, but what happen to those dreams when we get older? ~Silver

"Tell me something Silver…why do you want to learn how to fly so bad, you are a colt you know." Ask Lyra as her and Silver was walking back to their tent.

"To tell you the truth Lyra…I don't really know, all I know is that one day when I was young, I saw them flying in the sky…it was just about the coolest thing that I had ever seen in my entire life. The way they were going through the trees, doing backflips, I never seen anything like it…I guess after that day I vowed that one day I would fly alongside with them, haven't happen yet and I ended up dropping out of school. How about you Lyra, you haven't told me your story yet."

Lyra sighed as she walks in her tent. "I guess I see no harm, it's been on my back for so long now that it might be best to have someone help get it off for me." Silver put his food on the ground and sat next to Lyra as she told Silver her life story. "I never wanted to be a gunslinger, when I was young, me and this other fillies were really good friends…it's like if you ask for one you would be getting the other weather you like it or not. It was fifth grade, I still did not know what I wanted to do with my life, while the rest of the class already knew and had here cutie marks I was fine being different. My friend had a few hearts on her flank and I thought it was because she was caring and kind. I found out that my boyfriend was cheating on me in the bathroom with her, and that's not just the kicker…she was pregnant."

"At that young of an age!"

"It turns out those heats are not meant for love…not the kind of love you would think anyway, I was so mad, my father work out in the field, he let me use his gun and I got so good that I just kept using it until I finally got my cutie mark…the school did not like it so they threw me out. Father died three years later and I have been living on my own ever since."

"What happen to the girl?"

"Five pregnancy latters, she has five colts paying for child support and now she is richer then I could have ever imagined."

"Not only did you lost a friend, you also lost your mate…I don't know what to say."

Lyra gave Silver a smiled and said. "Don't say anything." Then without warning she gave Silver a hug. "Don't say a word; I just needed a pony of some kind to talk to."

"Everything's going to be all right now." Silver said under breath as he comforted the heartbreak pony
