Well I said I was going to post it up on the 9th! And here it be ya'll!
Phew, I managed to complete this, and two Chapters of Tristan's New Life. Wow I must've been working awesomely! I deserve a pat on the back.
*pat pat*
Anywho I really wanted to get this up today because I'll be spending the weekend at my Father's again. And I suspect that I won't be back home til about Wednesday. So At least I got a lot done... And now you know why I prolly won't have a new Chapter for you all when I get back.
And I still haven't done my summer project... man I'm lazy...

Raze Silverwing: Thank you as well. And I'm not sure when he'll make an appearance...
goldenponyboy: Yeah I know what you mean... but it would have to happen eventually ya know? Besides, what better time to propose then with all your friends to see?
Well now, looks like it's time to begin the chapter eh? Glad you all stuck with me this long!
Make sure to R&R and enjoy!
I ONLY OWN MY OC
"So? What do you all think?"
They looked at each other and nodded, before turning back to me. Shadow was the first to speak, "Well it's certainly not something I'd expect from you, that's for sure."
"So its unexpected and a great idea right?"
"Well, it may even turn out to be reckless… so I think that we should test it first." Crossback added in.
"Let me ask you all this… and I want an honest answer." This caught their attention, "Are you able to overcome your enemies and even die for the sake of your marefriend?" I paused for a moment to let them think, "I am… know why? Because the bond I feel with Dash… transcends that of mare-friend. I consider her a vital part of me, that I can never lose. And I'm sure that you all feel the same way… about Fluttershy. Twilight. Aurum. Applejack. Hell, the way that Soul and Hottrot have been acting around Pinkie and Rarity, you'd think that their feelings are starting to change too." Each of them either smiled and looked away, or blushed and looked downward, "And currently the biggest threat to Dash… is me."
Crossback looked up with a shocked expression, "You're the biggest threat to her? What do you mean?"
"My Veil…" I could feel them all looking at me with suspense, so I didn't waste anymore time, "I'm no longer in total control of my Veil right now… Anytime I use it, it seems like it tries to take over my soul…"
"That's all the more reason to not do this and think of something else!"
"Actually, it's all the more reason to do it. Whenever I see her smile… it gives me the strength I need to overcome any obstacle." "Besides… the fact that the Veil is taking over is probably because Slips left. So when he returns, it should be fine…. If he returns."
"Anyways, this is just an idea I'm throwing out there, we don't have to do it…"
I was about to continue, but something rustles the bushes behind me, making Everypony alert and ready. "Who's there? Come out now or I'll torch you where you stand!" I shouted, startling a few birds in the nearby trees.
"Not really a way you'd introduce yourself… you're pretty scary huh?" a female voice responded.
"Oh how rude of me…" I quickly activated my Veil at max power, illuminating the space in a show of dark red flames and providing a circle of fire at my hooves, "I'm Blaze… now, as I'd said before." I began walking towards the voice, "Com out now, or I'll torch you wher-"… I tried to continue, but I was interrupted by a storm cloud hovering over me and causing a downpour, flattening my mane over my face… and extinguishing my flames.
"Bout time you cooled down." The bushes rustles again and I hear a giggle.
Just as quickly as it came, the downpour stopped, leaving me soaked and smoking. "Blaze I didn't know you smoked!" Hottrot shouted, then fell over in a hysterical laughter.
I slowly moved my mane out of my eyes to see who it was that did all of this… surprisingly, it was a tall Unicorn mare.
She was a pale color with a slight green tinge to her coat. Her eyes were shadowed by a pair of black goggles with orange lenses, and her jet black hair with deep green strips was shaved on two sides to a short length but a long, wide sideways strip remained in the middle in the fashion of a lazy-hawk, which possessed a few different accessories. Piercings lined her ears containing stretched gauges, studs and industrials. Facial piercings included snake-bites, and cyber bites. Tattoos ran along her forelegs, neck and stopped along the bottom of the ribs in intricate black patterns. The only other accessory was a simple, black and green checkered scarf…
She must've realized that we were all gawking at her, because she quickly struck a pose and asked, "Like what you see boys?"
None of the guys said anything, so I guess that they were still gawking… "Well I won't say that you aren't attractive…" I cleared my throat, "But I'm happily dating somepony. And the same goes for these dolts."
"Well isn't that a change in attitude? Didn't you say you were going to torch me where I stood? Or are you too wet to start a spark?"
I chuckled lightly. "I don't know who you are, but if you knew me, then you would know that water isn't enough to extinguish my flames. My flames react with my emotions… so when the water hit me, it helped… cool me off."
"That a fact? Well no matter… anyways, what are you all doing this deep in the forest?"
I quickly ran behind me and shoved Hottrot forward, and he immediately knew what to say, "Well you see we're a part of the Galatical fighting force in charge of protecting this quadrant of the galaxy. You caught us while we were in the middle of discussing a plan to annihilate the immediate threat to this land of Equestria."
I gave him a mental pat on the back and thought, "I can always count on you to say something irrelevant in the fastest amount of time."
She stared at him for a while before replying with, "It's not totally unbelievable, considering a Pegasus can make fire appear out of nowhere and alter his physical appearance… But whatever, I'll let you weirdos get back to being weird. Chao." Her horn sparked a bright light that blinded me for a moment, and when I could see again, she was gone.
"Who was that anyways?" Fortune asked the question I was still pondering.
"No idea… but how about we act like this never happened?" Soul added in.
"Like what never happened?" Shadow replied and started walking towards Ponyville.
Hottrot leaned over to me and asked, "Did he forget or something?"
"His memory may be worse than mine." I chuckled and started after him.
…
It's been two days since the run in with that Unicorn, and I'm really starting to wonder where she came from. But I guess I can put it off for now, considering we have about a week to prepare.
Currently I was at the race track in Cloudsdale watching a Wonderbolt race with Dash and Scoots.
Fleetfoot, Spitfire, Soarin, Fire streak, and Blaze were all racing each other, for fun of course.
And of course my money was on Blaze… even though he rarely wins. But! It's nothing like two Blazes in one stadium to give each other some encouragement.
It was the final leg of the race, Blaze had taken the lead, but Spitfire and Soarin' were closing in fast. "Come on Blaze! A little more and you win!" I shouted, hoping my cheering would help him win.
They finally finished, and it looked like Blaze had won! But, a look at the photo, showed that Spitfire had taken the win by a nose.
Even though he didn't win, he still smiled at the other Wonderbolts and shook their hoof, showing that he had fun… Is that how me and my friends act when we race?
…
"So why do you want to race me again?" Crossback asked me after I suddenly showed up at his house.
"No reason, just want to have a little fun."
He stared at me for a moment before replying, "Even if I wanted to… I'm here taking care of Shy and the animals. After she got through taking care of Angel it seems like she ended up getting his cold."
"Aww poor Fluttershy… Make sure you tell her I said to get better all right? And you take it easy as well, we don't want you caching a cold too ya know?" I lightly hoofed him in the chest and flew off towards Hottrot's.
On the way there I took notice of the peaceful scenery below me, "Such a wonderful town… glad I can call it home."
"Blaze!" I heard somepony shout from above me.
"I'm not even going to look up… I don't want a repeat of what happened with Dash."
'Whack'
The weight of the pony on top of me… was really light. So I slowed myself and turned my head to see who it was that landed on me… "Hey there Scoots."
She gave me a big hug around my neck and just sat on my back, "Hey Blaze, whatcha up too?"
"Well I'm looking for somepony to race… I want to test something."
"A race?!" she squeeled and flew in front of me, stopping me in my tracks. "Race me! Please please please!"
I gave her a small smile and looked away, seemingly lost in thought, "Hmmm you sure you can handle it? I won't be going easy on you…"
"Of course I can! I'm not slow anymore you know?!"
I put on a wide smiled and tousled her mane, "All right kiddo. How about we fly from the school house to the library?"
"Mmk! Oh man this is going to be AWESOME!" she shouted and sped off towards the school house, "Hurry up slowpoke!"
"Slowpoke eh?" I mumbled to myself. I did a quick stretch and sped off after her, as I was getting near her though I contemplated slowing down, "No… If I don't give it my all, then she'll be sad. Can't have that now can we?"
We arrived at the starting point, and she was really eager to begin. "Start on three okay?"
"Now Scoots.. while I'm thrilled that you want to race me, I want you to do something for me, and it'll actually make you faster."
She looked up at me with a confused face, "What is it?"
"Grab your scooter and race me like that."
"But why can't I race you without it?"
"I really don't want to just spell it out for her… but improving with that scooter will actually help get her cutie mark."
"No buts here. This is the only way that I'll race you. Besides, I haven't seen you on it much since you learned how to fly." I gave her a warm smile.
She looked away from me, "I don't even know where it is."
"Look in front of you."
She slowly looked, and there it was… A sky blue scooter with red wheels and red handlebars. "My scooter! But how'd it get here?"
"I'm really fast ya know?" I joked. "Now, put on your helmet and get ready."
Her eyes quivered at the scooter and she slowly got on it, but when she was fully on it, there was a slight twinkle in her eye… She smirked and put on her helmet, then looked at me with a determined face. "Well now, looks like somepony is ready."
"Yep! But what about all the ponies in town? What if I bump into one of them?"
"I made sure to let Everypony know what we were going to do."
Her jaw dropped, "How?! You were right behind me the whole time we were flying here!"
"I'm really fast." I chuckled to myself. "Still want to race?"
"Of course I do!"
"All right then. On three."
"One." I got into position, along with her.
"Two." We both flared our wings, and I could feel the sweat dripping down the side of my face.
"Three!" we both sped off at the same time, and it looks like she's still faster… I may have to turn up the heat a little.
And complete! Looks like Blaze and Scoots are racing. And what was that twinkle in her eye? Hmmm.
Now I'm guessing that some of you are wondering whose OC that was... Well it was none other than Mrs. AdryFeare's!
She was kind enough to let me use her OC... (Man I hope I used her correctly) and don't worry this isn't the last we've seen of her.
Oh and make sure to check out her page, she has some really interesting stories.
Well now... Looks like that's all the Scootaloo wrote. Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
