25 Days Till Christmas...BPP Style

December 22- Painted Pencil

"Come on now sturdy, are you really serious? Do you mean it?" I asked. We still stood in the woods, my face bitten with frost.

"Yes. I mean it. Youre going back to ponyville and so am I." He said firmly.

"Bu……but……how in celestias name are you going to keep your job?" I looked deep into his eyes. He stared off, in the direction of where he was currently working. A sigh escaped his mouth.

"I wont." I stared at him blankly.

"Your job… your dream……everthing that you've always wanted to do……you'd throw it away, for me?"

"Of course I would." He leaned in for a kiss, but I stopped him inches away from my face.

"Hold it now. Lets not turn this into a romance novel. Bleh."

~~~~~~~~~~the next morning~~~~

I woke up and rose from my bed. My mane was a tangled mess. I stretched, flipped the covers off me, and headed downstairs. Something cooking smelled reeeeaal good.

"Watcha making, sturd-"

"Hiya pencil!" Wahuh!? Blue heart!? I was stunned.

"Wha……what are you doing in our apartment!?" I screached. I saw sturdy hoof tred down the stairs. He looked at blue.

"………what?……" he just stared at the purple mare.

"I guess I've got some explaining to do…" me and sturdy sat on the couch. She told us everything: the crystal empire, the pony who was apparently peace trotters dad, him killing her parents and his wife, and the fire.

"Oh and one other thing…" from behind blue was a little white filly.

"Hi! The names angle fire!" She beemed.

"I got her out in time from the burning train. So I decided to let her follow me here." Blue looked down at the filly with a grin. Sturdy butted in.

"Well it looks like you came here at the right time. We're leaving soon."

"L……leaving?" Blues eyes got watery. "Bu…but………but………NO! YOU CANT LEAVE! NOT AGAIN!!" Blues sudden anger through me and sturdy off a bit. I placed my hand on blues shoulder.

"We're moving back to ponyville, sturdy sacrificed his job for me." A sound of 'aaaawww' broke from blues lips. I rolled my eyes and looked back at sturdy,  then blue heart.

"We're planning to board the train in about half an hour. Of course your coming, and I'll pay for your ticket… think of it as a little Christmas gift."

"Oh pencil thank you sooo much!" She wrapped me in a friendly hug.

"Now……what ya cooking?"

Everything was turning out fine. Reconnecting with blue, moving back to ponyville, being engaged. Yep, everythings pretty cool right now.

But if only peace was here……
