"Do you want to just like...have me fly all of us back to my palace? I got a pretty awesome nursing staff there...royal authority call. let's do that. You're both in no shape to walk anymore, so let's go while I still have enough blood in me to fly." Bolt said. He put Brisk and Leaf on his back, screaming in pain, and took off. There was blood flowing from the horn shard wound the entire time, and by the time they got to the palace, he had enough energy to crash through the window and yell for help, then he passed out. He didn't know what happened to Leaf or Brisk, but he woke up in a hospital bed. He pulled back the curtain to see Leaf, and assumed Brisk was there too, before he passed out again.
"I couldn't kill Luna...she was my best friend. Even when she tried to kill me. I thought I could change her...bring her back...and now you all know. I have feelings. Shame on me, huh? And now for the promise I made you. Everypony's gonna know how strong you are, because as of right now, you are the man in charge of my life. Congratulations, Leaf. You're the new captain of the Royal Guard. May you walk the path with honor, dignity, and righteousness as you defend this city." Bolt said, smiling. "There ain't another pony who could do the job better."
"I had a huge call in. All survivors of the blast were to seek shelter here. We might actually have a chance of surviving as a race." Bolt said.
"Oh. That explains it. Er... I think somepony else will be better suited for being Royal Captain, milord." Narrowleaf replied. "I want to work at home. I'm an Apple. It's what we do."
"Hmm...don't ever call me lord again. You're officially as high and mighty as me. Brisk, too. WE run this town. And do you have anypony in mind that can be captain instead of you? Because we need security and the wonderbolts are kind of mean." Bolt said. "What did Brisk talk about when I was entranced...how much more she loved you than me?" Bolt asked, his eyes hungry for an answer.
"Well...she ignored me. When you asked her who she loved, what did she say? Did she pick me?! That's not right...I'm not sure if you'd be okay with that. Well, what were her exact words?" Bolt asked.
"Hmm. Does she even love either of us? I'm starting to think we may both be fighting for a lost cause. I mean if she doesn't like us, I'll be crushed for a bit, but at least we'll know." Bolt said.
Bolt's eyes widened. "That means we're like a family to her...dude if she feels like that about us, then we can't go pushing for more. We hold a sacred place in her heart that may have never been full before we came along. I can't believe I didn't see it before. We're a family now, Leaf. Don't date your sister. It's unbecoming of a good person like you, and god knows what everypony would do if I did it." Bolt said, winking. "I'm feeling a lot better, if you want some food or something. If not, my mom's probably losing her cool right now, so I'll go tell her I'm okay." He offered
(NOOO Don't let this die out! I'm putting this in parenthesis because this is out of character and I haven't jumped in yet)
*Hmm... Damn. Probably trying to throw me away. Then again... NO! I love Brisk too much!* Narrowleaf thought to himself as he trotted to get some food.(You can jump in at anytime, Blazin'...)
(I was waiting for you to walk outside ) Blazin' watches quietly from his cloud about 10 feet in the air, he sees an odd pony trotting seeming very determined. Blazin' becomes somewhat interested but felt a bit nosy for jumping into other ponies' business.
Bolt walked and followed Leaf. "So...are we in agreement about not making any moves on Brisk? Do we have to make a Pinkie Promise? God those are so serious..." Bolt said to Leaf.
Blazin' notices the tired pony, feeling sorry he decides to offer him a cloud to sleep on. He jumps down before he hits the ground he uses his wings to slow his landing. "Hey, you look tired. How about I get you a cloud to sleep on?" he asked in concern.
