Legends of New Equestria

"I... Oh... Whoops..." Narrowleaf replied. "Didn't catch on."

 

"If Flitter were awake...I would be so dead..." Bolt told Leaf

 

"I... I think Brisk fell asleep, too." Narrowleaf said, laughing.

 

"I should totally prank her..." Bolt schemed

 

"Right... I won't take part... Flitter when angry..." Narrowleaf murmured, shuddering. "J-Just gonna..."

 

"Be right back." Bolt said. He grabbed a marker with his horn and wrote SOAP SUCKS in huge letters on Flitter's head. He then crossed out SUCKS and wrote STINKS. For child preservation. He walked off, laughing. "See how much soap fixes that." He said.

 

Narrowleaf yawned. "G-G'Night... Whoever hears me..." He mumbled, falling asleep.

 

"Night Leaf." Bolt said, erasing the writing on Flitter, kissing her head as well as Star's, and going to bed in between the two.

 

"Yeah... G'Night, Bolt..." He replied.

 

"I won't rest until I bring Brisk back...even at the cost of my life. Such is the way of the code of Fire Bolt. Sleep on ot." Bolt said, dozing off.

 

Narrowleaf sighed. "Mmm hmm.." He murmured.

 

All that was heard from Bolt's end was a loud snore, followed by a series of softer snores.

 

In the morning, Narrowleaf awoke to the sound of birds. He yawned, wiping the mud of his legs.

 

Bolt had a terrible Nightmare, plagued by images of a smiling Brisk being struck down by him. He awoke, screaming.

 

Narrowleaf silently stood up. He yawned and walked back home, trying to not wake Brisk.

 

"Wh...what the buck?" Bolt wheezed, breathing heavily

 

"Brisk? Are you awake yet?" Narrowleaf asked in a whisper, opening the front door.

 

Bolt got up and went into the dojo to train, quietly exiting the room. The floor began to produce artificial alicorns that were cut down with fire swords from Bolt's horn. He needed to be strong. An occasional growl was heard.

 

"Fine... Don't need you to... to... to be awake." He murmured.

(Am I going to end up alone tonight? Again?)

 

"Flitter?" Bolt asked loudly, as he had hit himself with a trap spell.
