"So, we have to house one of them." said Lilac,looking at the nine mercs,with a groggy Scout muttering something about a pink cupcake.

"Yes. I already housed Scout. The rest will have to pick." Rainbow giggled, pinching Scout in his arm.

"AAAAAH! I'M AWAKE,I'M FREAKIN' AWAKE!" Scout yelled, almost hitting Applejack in the process.

"Ah'm not tryin' ta destroy yer day,mister,but,d'ya know how to buck apples?" the orange pony said,obviously annoyed.

"No."

The housing made everything comepletely normal. Lilac housed Soldier,Pinkie got Pyro,Zecora,who somehow was passing by,got Demoman,Big Mac was going to get a book at Twilight's and got Heavy,which he would house in his upper bunk. Twilight got Sniper,Rarity got Spy,and Fluttershy got Medic.

IN LILAC'S COTTAGE...

"Soldier? It's time for dinner!" Lilac said,calling the merc from the extra room.
"Alright, I'm coming!" the Soldier replied,looking at the door,which was modded for hooves instead of hands.

"Uh,I can't get it open,Purple."

"Silly me,it's modded for hooves!" Lilac giggled,and Soldier smiled.

'C'mon,Soldier. She's a PONY,not a human...'

'Jeez,Lilac! He's a human,and my mom said a STALLION!'

The two stopped,and blushed when they saw they were looking at each other.

"I'm so sorry! I'll mod it for hands instead of just h-"

"It's okay,Purple. Guess I'll just have to get used here."

"Uh,can I ask? What DOES those other BLUs look like?" Lilac asked,eating some dandelions and,somehow,had ham in her refrigerator. She cut it into a triangle and gave it to Soldier.

"Well,they looked like us,but we knew that we might go crazy killing other maggots which look like us. So we got hats." said the Soldier,who was smiling at the fact Lilac got ham.

"And I think you got overboard. Two crates were filled to the brim with you nine's hats,sets,and many,many,many,weapons." Lilac said,pointing to two crates with the Mann Co. logo.

"Hmph. The Administrator said we have over thousands of hats."

"I like your Gunboats. It said it makes you rocket jump higher." Lilac said,finishing her dandelion sandwich.

"Well,it does-"

"SOLDIER! LILAC! NIGHTMARE MOON'S FREE,AGAIN!" Rainbow yelled.

"Why didn't you remove Living Dream from her with the Elements?" Lilac asked,confused.

"You see,we cannot operate with out the necklaces and the tiara. And the only way to get rid of Living Dream is-" Twilight said,flying from a near miss from a missile.

"Death. Somepony HAS to take her place." the rainbow-maned pegasus said.

"I think it's Twilight." Lilac said.

"No,Lilac. It's too big-a-responsibility." the lavender Alicorn said.

"How about Cadance?"

"She's tasked in doing the sunset."

"So someone has to be crowned princess." the Sniper said.

"Yes." the ponies said in unison,dodging nearby missiles.

"Greetings,otherworlders. In the night of Ponyville,you might not see anything. Entrapments are everywhere,and only the residents of Ponyville know where they are." Nightmare announced.

"She's so annoying. Princess Luna is better. Living Dream never said a nice thing about other ponies. But Diamond Tiara is her only friend and those others." Lilac said,sighing.

Applejack looked at Engineer.

'He's smart in making those inventions. Never misses a single wire. Ah think he's the smartest human ah know. But...but he's a human fer the love of Celestia! How could ah get a crush on a human?'

'She's cute and she always assists me in making some of my inventions at Sweet Apple Acres. But she's a pony fer goodness sake! How could ah get a crush on a pony. The others will laugh at me!'

Lilac noticed the exchange. "Applejack? Engineer?"

"Oh,it's nothin',sugarcube."

"Nothing. Just a looking."

The four had no idea that some others felt the same way.
