Appearance: RED Scout, dark brown cap, headset, red shirt, Pink as Hay (lol) fast learner, Beakless Robot Chicken hat, dark brown pants, and black shoes.
Personality: Proud, Friendly
Special Ability: I know its ponies only, but: Speed.
Backstory: Mann Co gave him some new shoes that let him run faster (and by gave I mean scout bought), and he ran so fast, he went to Ponyville, but he shoes caught on fire and burned. So he's stuck.
Misc.: Has Scattergun, Bonk! Atomic Punch, and a Sandman with balls that smell unusually like cupcakes.
I alyways thought Scout as a slightly-violent guy who didn't seemed to be friendly((hence his domination lines)), but Accepted nonetheless.

It depends, really. From what I've heard, Scout is friendly to, well, friends, but evil to enemies. But, I don't really know.
Can someone summarize what has happened so far?

The RED Soldier is lost in the Everfree forest, and he found a pegasus with a robotic wing. My pony, Pyromancer((who looks like my avvy, but is currently wearing a green suit instead of a red one)), found him and the pegasus. And there's a somewhat-evil pony lieing on the Badlands, an area located right behind the Everfree.

Summary: Pyromancer and Mana both met at Sugarcube Corner, and I walked in with suspicion of them both. Lenny started a party with Pinkie, and Soldier went to do TF2 stuff. I bumped into Mana then Soldier last night, and Soldier escaped. The next day, I found Mana, and after the apologies, he went to the Everfree to test his flamethrower. Pyro met up with us , and we all heard Soldier. Gearshaft, at that time, was racing with Rainbow Dash, lost then went home, and wanted to show her jetpack prototype to Ponyville, but stopped at the place we are now for her curiosity.

Gearshaft
The gas masked alicorn found me and came towards me. Now I was truly trapped, and this was the time to get a bit hostile. I picked up the jetpack.
"Don't come close, or I'll bash your head!" I threatened. And if that didn't work then I'll have to try to fly away. But...the alicorn will follow, so that's also the problem. Screaming for help isn't going to help either; who goes into the Everfree? Also, that was ridiculous, since she never tries to scream like a complete lady. The only ponies who do that are for ponies like Rarity and Fluttershy.
"I've warned you!" I continued.
9:15 AM
Snowfall
It was dead silent, and I was alone in the Everfree. I've heard that there were monsters, and I shuddered at the thought. I'm truly lost at this moment. Suddenly, there was a small clearing, and there I saw another human. Unlike the other, it was much younger, and wore something those baseball ponies loved to wear. It was holding a weapon, which scared me. Will he shoot when he saw me?
Unfortunately, it did see me, and it was staring like I was some kind of foreign animal. To its eyes, that is.
I speed through due to the Mann Co Supersonic Boots and crash into Solly, with burns on my feet due to fast running, and ashes of melted boots on my feet.
I had finally completed it, my ultimate creation. The magic enhancer. Simply put it on your horn and the magic will strengthen 100 times it's regular strength. Possibly even the strength of celestias magic even. I put it on and went outside to look for something heavy to levitate. I had also learned some of the arcane spells. Let me remember. "mana shield, arcane bolts, restoration, and arcane armor." I decided to head back to the everfree forest to see if they were still there. I started thinking to myself. "I must have built this in record time, and it should be able to help enhance these new spells to practically make it feel as though I've mastered them years ago." I came close and started to hear a pony shouting about something.

"What the..."
In a matter of seconds, the human stood up and ran away with extreme speed. How was that possible? There were even black burns on the ground, and I followed the skids to where he was going.

Gearshaft
All of a sudden, a blue figure came out of the bushes and crashed into the human. When everything cleared out, I saw another human. This was my chance.
I flew away with high speed from where the second human arrived from, hoping to escape. Not for long, I crashed into another pony. Can this day get any worse?
When I looked up, it was a unicorn stallion. Sky blue coat, blue eyes, and a completely white mane and tail. I got up quickly.
"Who are you?" I asked.
I did three steps backwards, and was about to make a fourth, until another person who I was guaranteed that was the RED Scout bumped into the RED Soldier. I chuckled a bit.
"the names Mana, nice to meet you. Ah, you seem to like mechanics, unless someone else made that wing for you. By the way have you seen my friends, or at least any other ponies in the everfree forest." I also noticed she had another thing with her. "Are you an inventor as well?" I saw she was getting impatient.

When I looked more closely, he was wearing an unusual piece of mechanical device on his horn (not to mention he had no cutie mark). He was using a enhancer! That means he must be an inventor! I can show my jetpack to my first viewer!
"Ahem," I put my hoof on my mouth and got ready to introduce myself. "I am Gearshaft, it is a pleasure to meet you. I am a mechanist, creating machines for use. And this wing..." I flapped it myself. "Is made from myself. Also, I have something to show you." I reached for the prototype on my back and showed it to him. "This is something I've been working on; a jetpack. It's a prototype and a work in progress, but when it's finished, it is able to make both earth ponies and unicorns fly without magic!" He looked amazed.
9:18 AM
Snowfall
I saw Pyromancer stand back from the two humans. It looked like the humans were teaming up on Pyromancer, and I got to help him. Hiding in a bush, I began to focus and freeze their feet. They had a confused look, not knowing what happened, and tried to break free.
"That is a truly astounding piece of work, can't wait to see it finished. I also dabble a little bit in Alchemy now, which pretty much means potions and the like. I'm pretty good at mechanics, but not good enough to create something like this." I stared at the jetpack for a little bit. "What kind of fuel does it go on exactly? since there doesn't seem to be an abundance of oil around here." out of the corner of my eye I saw pyromancer, and snowfall.

I think it's time to run, I thought. I galloped for my life? I didn't turn back to see if the humans broke out and chased us. Following the old skid marks, I found three of the ponies. One was Mana, another was Pyromancer, and another was a mare pegasus. I guessed she was lost and saved.
"Gearshaft, meet Pyromancer and Snowfall. Snowfall and Pyromancer, meet Gearshaft." Mana said.
"Sorry to break your bubble, but aren't we lost?" the mare interrupted. I didn't like her attitude very much, but she was right. No matter how deep you are in the Everfree, there's always a high chance of getting lost.
Mana stood up. "No problemo, I've learned a few magic powers from Twilight." He used his horn, but with the gadget on his horn, suddenly it grew very bright. He then said with no hesitation and pointed in a direction. "That way!"
9:21 AM
Gearshaft
In a matter of seconds, there was a third pony. Can this day get any weirder? I half-expected a fourth pony to come out, then a fifth. Oh, maybe a sixth will come out too!
"Its fuel is not oil, it is recharged from a wire. " I answered to Mana's question which seemed like minutes ago.
"What?" he was confused.
"You asked me what I kind of fuel I ran on. I told you," I continued.
"Why didn't you ask me when they came?" he asked again. I shut my mouth again, and he continued walking like nothing happened.
I kept walking, recalling some of my memory to pass the time.
Eleven years ago
I walked on the summer flight camp's "school" hallway in Cloudsdale, stopping at my locker. I opened my locker to take my books for second period, and closed the locker. When I turned around, I saw two of those colt bullies.
"Look, it's the filly who plays with her machinery toys!" One of the colts laughed, and another pushed my books, making them fall on the ground. As they walked away, I picked up my books. This happened so much it was basically morning routine, and I couldn't fight back either since they were more older and stronger than me. Suddenly, a yellow coated, pink maned mare held me up and helped me pick up my books. She was a few years older than me, presumably in her last year of elementary flight school. But why was she helping someone younger than herself?
"Thanks," I said as I put my books into my bag one by one, and rushed off to summer flight class.
---------
After a few days, I was able to catch her name; Fluttershy. I wanted to hopefully be friends with her, but would she allow me to?
Coming back from my thoughts, I saw the two bullies that was bullying me yesterday on the school entrance. But this time it wasn't, it was...
"Fluttershy", I muttered. One of the colts teased at her. "Look, it's Fluttercry!" Fluttershy looked like she was about to cry. I wanted to help her, but how can I win these three? I didn't have courage. I'm just an useless filly...
"Stop that right now!" Right next to the two bullies and Fluttershy was another filly, a bit shorter than the bullies. She had a blue coat and a rainbow mane and tail.
"Oh, and if it isn't Rainbow Crash," One of the colts laughed. Wait. "Rainbow"? Isn't she...Rainbow Dash
"And I challenge you to a race!" Rainbow Dash replied in anger.
"And we both accept. I can't wait to make you lose so badly!" both of the colts said.
------------
I was spectating the race Rainbow Dash and two of the colts were taking. Fluttershy held the flag. Everypony was chanting. "Three....Two...One....Go!" the crowd yelled in unison. All three of them went at quick speed.
At first, it looked like the two bullies were winning. But somehow...Rainbow Dash pulled something unexpected. As she went straight down, there was an eerie sound.
"BOOM!" A heavy burst of wind came towards the crowd, and when we all saw what Rainbow Dash had done, most of the spectators had their jaw dropped. Rainbow Dash had just performed a Sonic Rainboom.
When she crossed the finish line to win, all of the pegasi were cheering for her. She even got a cutie mark! I looked down at my blank flank and sighed. And I sword to myself: Someday I'm going to be like Rainbow Dash. No- I'm going to surpass Rainbow Dash!

9:26 AM
Snowfall
Pyromancer, Gearshaft, and I were following Mana's lead. "We're almost out of here," Mana declared. When I turned to see Gearshaft, she was just walking forward, looking like she was in trance. I lightly pushed her with my forehoof, and she snapped back into action.
"WHA! What's happened?" she said.
"Did you hear what Mana said? We're going out!" I told her. When all of us looked forward, the sunlight again greeted us.
(Note: The flashback was slightly modified from the Cutie Mark Chronicles episode. Also, since I wrote this for so long, expect a few grammar errors.)
EDIT: PM switched to AM, error.
"Finally we are out of this forsaken place, I can get to work on some more spell learning. Maybe read some more from that Alchemy book while I'm at it, I might be studying for the entire day, so I'm going to head home and take a nap first." I said goodbye to all of the others and head home.
There I was greeted with my workshop. "Time to get this place cleaned up, just in case any guests decide to arrive." I couldn't believe how productive of a day this was so far. After I'm done, studying if it's not dead in the night, I'll take a walk around and get to know Ponyville a little more.

Soldier walks nearer to ponyville, wondering where Scout ran off to, how he got here, and why everything in the world seemed to be hostile to him. After a while, Soldier comes to a small house (Fluttershys house) and shed.
"Something tells me I might wanna steer clear of there."
Soldier thinks to himself for a while, before walking past, keeping a fair distance away from the house.
After coming about for that wretched forest, I left the group, said goodbyes, and walked by myself. I again had questions. Why was there a second human? Was this even possible? Why are they here in Ponyville? Suddenly, I had the answer to all my problems. In front of me was Twilight Sparkle's library. I'll need to get into deep research about those humans.
Exhaling deeply, I entered the library.
9:32 AM
Gearshaft
Now that I was out of the forest, I sped towards the center of Ponyville to show the residents of what I've built. Landing down on a road, I walked the rest of the way.
I looked at my robotic metallic wing. How did I get this...
Three years ago
I was excited. Today is the third week I'm an apprentice mechanist! I was counting the days when I'll get my official mechanist license. When I put on my workbag and flew out, I suddenly stopped to see a familiar mare in front of me.
"Rainbow Dash! It's nice to meet you! " I greeted. Rainbow Dash, using my age difference with her, should've graduated advanced flight school and legally become an adult mare. My smile disappeared when I found out she wasn't greeting nor smiling.
"You were there," Rainbow Dash said.
"What?" I was confused.
"When we were fillies. You were watching Fluttershy get bullied." she continued.
"Why are you talking about something that's happened so long ago?" I asked.
"Don't give me that look," she sternly replied. "Why didn't you help her?"
"Who, Fluttershy?" I remembered that moment. "Oh..."
"That's not a reason. You WERE supposed to help her, after what she done to help you before. Yet you stood there and watched, acting like a coward. Is that what you're supposed to act like?"
"Of course not!" I was sweating a bit. "But I couldn't possibly beat them on anything,"
"That's where your wrong," Rainbow Dash said. "I was bullied all the time. And when I knew when to fight back, I did. I won them at the race."
"You should've done better," she finished. "Even if I wouldn't have gotten my cutie mark." Rainbow Dash then left. I stood there speechless.
--------------
I was quiet at work. I was quiet even since that conversation with Rainbow Dash. I've never heard her talk like that before. Even if front of me. I stared the at the unfinished machine I was working on. A coward...
I looked up to see a group of young fillies and colts walking past our factory, with the teacher following behind and one of our guide's telling the students facts about our factory. As they left, I looked back at the machine. If I was able to change anything that happened before...
Abruptly, the alarm blared and omitted a dim red light. A middle-aged stallion ran and yelled,"There's uncontrollable overheating in the main steam engine! Everypony get out!" He waved his hoof. Hearing the warning, I left my seat and flew towards the exit.
When all of the ponies were safely out, the teacher announced, "We're missing one colt!" Everypony was in shock, and I knew what I need to do.
An mechanist stopped me. "What the hay are you doing? You going to die if you do that!"
I pulled myself out of his hoof grip. "I'm doing something uncoawrdly." I flew into the factory.
Inside the factory, I searched for a colt. The factory was completely emptied out, and I fastened my flying pace. Then, I saw somepony on the ground. It was the missing colt! When I flew down to have a look, he was crying.
"Everything going to be fine." I comforted the colt. He stopped crying, and I picked him up and attempted to escape the factory. Flying at full speed, I saw the exit in sight. I turned around to see the large main engine having a heavy amount of steam leaking out of the adjacent pipes.
"Oh-no," I landed on the ground, hugging the colt as tight as I can.
There was a flash, then nothing.
-----------
I woke up and got up from the bed. My eyesight was blurry. Maybe it was just a dream...
But when my eyesight was clear, I saw my parents, some of the factory ponies, the colt I saved and his parents. Right next to the colt was Nurse Redheart. When I turned around, I noticed a pole with a blood bag on it, having a wire connected to my right fore hoof. There was also a computer, having jagged lines detecting my heart pulse. I could hear beeping sounds out of it. "What...What just happened?" I managed to mutter out some words.
"You're perfectly fine, Mrs.Gearshaft," Nurse Redheart said with a happy attitude. "You survived the explosion, and 30% of your body had first or second degree burns, which were taken care of," Suddenly her tone changed. "However, your wing had a heavy third degree burn, and it had to be...excised." I looked to my left. Sure enough, the wing was replaced by an bandage. I was completely silent.
Nurse Redheart informed everypony. "Mrs. Gearshaft would want to be alone right now to rest for a while. All guest must please leave the room." All of the ponies left one by one, with Nurse Redheart following last, locking the door behind her.
Hours later, the door was again opened. "You have a visitor." Nurse Redheart said. I sat up to see who the visitor is. It was Rainbow Dash. but this time she was smiling.
"You did what I told you to do," Rainbow Dash said. "When everypony wouldn't have went in to save the colt, you did. Today you did something right by showing your bravery, even if that meant sacrificing your wing to save a colt. Even I wouldn't have done that."
"Don't worry," I remarked. "I'm going to get a mechanical one, anyway, so it's no big deal."
"Well, I'm hoping your replace that wing the sooner the quicker, because I want to race you the next time we meet." Rainbow Dash left the room, slowly closing the door behind her.
This was the part of Rainbow Dash I've never seen before.
-------------
9:39 AM
"Hey!"
That yell made me come back to my senses. I bumped into a pony, and a drill fell on the ground. When I looked up, it was an unsatisfied blue mare looking at me.
"Watch where you're going," warned Colgate. "You know I'm using those drills for dentist appointments."
"Sorry," I sheepishly apologized.
(Pretty long post I got there. I wanted to explain how she got that robotic wing. Didn't know if I'm writing a fan fiction or a role-playing post.... :lol:)
I sat in the library waiting chair, since Twilight is "chatting with someone". Which was obviously a lie, of course. Most of witnesses said that it was because she was writing her "Dear Princess Celestia" letters. But no one wanted to mess with her, anyway, because the last time her letter was "tardy", she messed up the whole town by using a "want it, need it" spell on almost everypony. Since a bunch of ponies told me that, I half-expected Twilight Sparkle to be some kind of madpony.
After a few more minutes Twilight came out. "Spiiiike! Do you have that book The Science of Alchemy ?"
"I thought you gave it to somepony!" Spike yelled back.
Twilight looked at me now. "Ah! Oh...were you here all along?"
"Yes, may I go upstairs to read some of your books? I need to do some deep research on...humans." I winced a little say that last word.
"Humans?" she said. Then she chuckled. "You sound a lot like Lyra Heartstrings. Almost every day she comes in, saying how she found some kind of proof of humans, and would stay here for the whole day just researching on her."
Lyra Heartstrings. That meant that she has the first sense that humans were real. "But never mind, you may come upstairs if you like. Just don't mess up the bookshelves." Twilight said with a merry attitude. Maybe she wasn't that terrifying or insane as the other ponies said...she is also the Bearer of Magic, after all. Who would say that the one who defeated Nightmare Moon, imprison Discord once again, a madpony?
I walked upstairs, and I found out that the library was much bigger in prospective. It was a circular room, surrounded by bookshelves. I scanned the sections with my eyes, until I came to "Animals and species". Now scanning in a smaller matter, I pulled out of book from the third shelf; the book's name was Extinct Species Database . I opened the book.
Finally, I stopped on a page. On the top was entitled "Humans". I impaitiently read the first paragraph.
Homo Sapiens, better know as humans, are an animal that is omnivorous, walks on two legs, and have two "arms" that unlike ponies, are not used to walk on. Pony paleontologists have found the fossil of this animal in about AEC 803. They have guessed their average adult size was 5 to 7 feet, almost twice as tall as the normal pony.
This year was AEC 1022. That means the fossils were found two hundred years ago! Impossible! Ponies have guessed that they must be an highly intelligent and powerful species, creating weapons of destruction to bring disharmony. Some say that humans might have even been before Celestia's time. However, this kind species has not been confirmed, and many ponies now say that this kind of species never existed in the first place.
Then how were they here...there must be some kind of explanation!
I put down my book. It's time to meet Lyra.
Scout runs around, scared of what happened, what happening, and what going to happen. He climbs a tree to try to escape from any dangers that might be below. He can see Pyro, though as pegasus (Scout can't see the unicorn's horn), leaving the forest he's in. Further inspecting the forest, he is on the edge of it. He can see a cottage with several animals around it. He parkours to the top of the house and the landing thump was loud. He heard a frightened squiel from inside. Moments later a yellow pegasus comes outside, holding a flashlight in her mouth (at the current moment it's night). Also, Scout got here after Solly.
I am really busy most of the time so I'm not sure how much time I'll have to RP.
I alyways thought Scout as a slightly-violent guy who didn't seemed to be friendly((hence his domination lines)), but Accepted nonetheless.
It depends, really. From what I've heard, Scout is friendly to, well, friends, but evil to enemies. But, I don't really know.
Can someone summarize what has happened so far?
The RED Soldier is lost in the Everfree forest, and he found a pegasus with a robotic wing. My pony, Pyromancer((who looks like my avvy, but is currently wearing a green suit instead of a red one)), found him and the pegasus. And there's a somewhat-evil pony lieing on the Badlands, an area located right behind the Everfree.
Summary: Pyromancer and Mana both met at Sugarcube Corner, and I walked in with suspicion of them both. Lenny started a party with Pinkie, and Soldier went to do TF2 stuff. I bumped into Mana then Soldier last night, and Soldier escaped. The next day, I found Mana, and after the apologies, he went to the Everfree to test his flamethrower.

Pyromancer, Gearshaft, and I were following Mana's lead. "We're almost out of here," Mana declared. When I turned to see Gearshaft, she was just walking forward, looking like she was in trance. I lightly pushed her with my forehoof, and she snapped back into action.
"WHA! What's happened?" she said.
"Did you hear what Mana said? We're going out!" I told her. When all of us looked forward, the sunlight again greeted us.
(Note: The flashback was slightly modified from the Cutie Mark Chronicles episode. Also, since I wrote this for so long, expect a few grammar errors.)
EDIT: PM switched to AM, error.
There I was greeted with my workshop. "Time to get this place cleaned up, just in case any guests decide to arrive." I couldn't believe how productive of a day this was so far. After I'm done, studying if it's not dead in the night, I'll take a walk around and get to know Ponyville a little more.
Master of Osu! taiko, and たい仔のたつじん。
Soldier walks nearer to ponyville, wondering where Scout ran off to, how he got here, and why everything in the world seemed to be hostile to him. After a while, Soldier comes to a small house (Fluttershys house) and shed.
"Something tells me I might wanna steer clear of there."
Soldier thinks to himself for a while, before walking past, keeping a fair distance away from the house.

After coming about for that wretched forest, I left the group, said goodbyes, and walked by myself. I again had questions. Why was there a second human? Was this even possible? Why are they here in Ponyville? Suddenly, I had the answer to all my problems. In front of me was Twilight Sparkle's library. I'll need to get into deep research about those humans.
Exhaling deeply, I entered the library.
9:32 AM
Gearshaft
Now that I was out of the forest, I sped towards the center of Ponyville to show the residents of what I've built. Landing down on a road, I walked the rest of the way.
I looked at my robotic metallic wing. How did I get this...
Three years ago
I was excited. Today is the third week I'm an apprentice mechanist! I was counting the days when I'll get my official mechanist license. When I put on my workbag and flew out, I suddenly stopped to see a familiar mare in front of me.
"Rainbow Dash! It's nice to meet you! " I greeted. Rainbow Dash, using my age difference with her, should've graduated advanced flight school and legally become an adult mare. My smile disappeared when I found out she wasn't greeting nor smiling.
"You were there," Rainbow Dash said.
"What?" I was confused.
"When we were fillies. You were watching Fluttershy get bullied." she continued.
"Why are you talking about something that's happened so long ago?" I asked.
"Don't give me that look," she sternly replied. "Why didn't you help her?"
"Who, Fluttershy?" I remembered that moment. "Oh..."
"That's not a reason. You WERE supposed to help her, after what she done to help you before. Yet you stood there and watched, acting like a coward. Is that what you're supposed to act like?"
"Of course not!" I was sweating a bit. "But I couldn't possibly beat them on anything,"
"That's where your wrong," Rainbow Dash said. "I was bullied all the time. And when I knew when to fight back, I did. I won them at the race."
"You should've done better," she finished. "Even if I wouldn't have gotten my cutie mark." Rainbow Dash then left. I stood there speechless.
--------------
I was quiet at work. I was quiet even since that conversation with Rainbow Dash. I've never heard her talk like that before. Even if front of me. I stared the at the unfinished machine I was working on. A coward...
I looked up to see a group of young fillies and colts walking past our factory, with the teacher following behind and one of our guide's telling the students facts about our factory. As they left, I looked back at the machine. If I was able to change anything that happened before...
Abruptly, the alarm blared and omitted a dim red light. A middle-aged stallion ran and yelled,"There's uncontrollable overheating in the main steam engine! Everypony get out!" He waved his hoof. Hearing the warning, I left my seat and flew towards the exit.
When all of the ponies were safely out, the teacher announced, "We're missing one colt!" Everypony was in shock, and I knew what I need to do.
An mechanist stopped me. "What the hay are you doing? You going to die if you do that!"
I pulled myself out of his hoof grip. "I'm doing something uncoawrdly." I flew into the factory.
Inside the factory, I searched for a colt. The factory was completely emptied out, and I fastened my flying pace. Then, I saw somepony on the ground. It was the missing colt! When I flew down to have a look, he was crying.
"Everything going to be fine." I comforted the colt. He stopped crying, and I picked him up and attempted to escape the factory. Flying at full speed, I saw the exit in sight. I turned around to see the large main engine having a heavy amount of steam leaking out of the adjacent pipes.
"Oh-no," I landed on the ground, hugging the colt as tight as I can.
There was a flash, then nothing.
-----------
I woke up and got up from the bed. My eyesight was blurry. Maybe it was just a dream...
But when my eyesight was clear, I saw my parents, some of the factory ponies, the colt I saved and his parents. Right next to the colt was Nurse Redheart. When I turned around, I noticed a pole with a blood bag on it, having a wire connected to my right fore hoof. There was also a computer, having jagged lines detecting my heart pulse. I could hear beeping sounds out of it. "What...What just happened?" I managed to mutter out some words.
"You're perfectly fine, Mrs.Gearshaft," Nurse Redheart said with a happy attitude. "You survived the explosion, and 30% of your body had first or second degree burns, which were taken care of," Suddenly her tone changed. "However, your wing had a heavy third degree burn, and it had to be...excised." I looked to my left. Sure enough, the wing was replaced by an bandage. I was completely silent.
Nurse Redheart informed everypony. "Mrs. Gearshaft would want to be alone right now to rest for a while. All guest must please leave the room." All of the ponies left one by one, with Nurse Redheart following last, locking the door behind her.
Hours later, the door was again opened. "You have a visitor." Nurse Redheart said. I sat up to see who the visitor is. It was Rainbow Dash. but this time she was smiling.
"You did what I told you to do," Rainbow Dash said. "When everypony wouldn't have went in to save the colt, you did. Today you did something right by showing your bravery, even if that meant sacrificing your wing to save a colt. Even I wouldn't have done that."
"Don't worry," I remarked. "I'm going to get a mechanical one, anyway, so it's no big deal."
"Well, I'm hoping your replace that wing the sooner the quicker, because I want to race you the next time we meet." Rainbow Dash left the room, slowly closing the door behind her.
This was the part of Rainbow Dash I've never seen before.

9:39 AM
"Hey!"
That yell made me come back to my senses. I bumped into a pony, and a drill fell on the ground. When I looked up, it was an unsatisfied blue mare looking at me.
"Watch where you're going," warned Colgate. "You know I'm using those drills for dentist appointments."
"Sorry," I sheepishly apologized.
(Pretty long post I got there. I wanted to explain how she got that robotic wing. Didn't know if I'm writing a fan fiction or a role-playing post.... :lol:)
Soldier unwittingly bangs his helmet on a low hanging sign.
"Here."
Indeed, Soldier correctly found his way back to ponyville, and so went back to his place of residence.

I sat in the library waiting chair, since Twilight is "chatting with someone". Which was obviously a lie, of course. Most of witnesses said that it was because she was writing her "Dear Princess Celestia" letters. But no one wanted to mess with her, anyway, because the last time her letter was "tardy", she messed up the whole town by using a "want it, need it" spell on almost everypony. Since a bunch of ponies told me that, I half-expected Twilight Sparkle to be some kind of madpony.
After a few more minutes Twilight came out. "Spiiiike! Do you have that book The Science of Alchemy ?"
"I thought you gave it to somepony!" Spike yelled back.
Twilight looked at me now. "Ah! Oh...were you here all along?"
"Yes, may I go upstairs to read some of your books? I need to do some deep research on...humans." I winced a little say that last word.
"Humans?" she said. Then she chuckled. "You sound a lot like Lyra Heartstrings. Almost every day she comes in, saying how she found some kind of proof of humans, and would stay here for the whole day just researching on her."
Lyra Heartstrings. That meant that she has the first sense that humans were real. "But never mind, you may come upstairs if you like. Just don't mess up the bookshelves." Twilight said with a merry attitude. Maybe she wasn't that terrifying or insane as the other ponies said...she is also the Bearer of Magic, after all. Who would say that the one who defeated Nightmare Moon, imprison Discord once again, a madpony?
I walked upstairs, and I found out that the library was much bigger in prospective. It was a circular room, surrounded by bookshelves. I scanned the sections with my eyes, until I came to "Animals and species". Now scanning in a smaller matter, I pulled out of book from the third shelf; the book's name was Extinct Species Database . I opened the book.
Finally, I stopped on a page. On the top was entitled "Humans". I impaitiently read the first paragraph.
Homo Sapiens, better know as humans, are an animal that is omnivorous, walks on two legs, and have two "arms" that unlike ponies, are not used to walk on. Pony paleontologists have found the fossil of this animal in about AEC 803. They have guessed their average adult size was 5 to 7 feet, almost twice as tall as the normal pony.
This year was AEC 1022. That means the fossils were found two hundred years ago! Impossible!
Ponies have guessed that they must be an highly intelligent and powerful species, creating weapons of destruction to bring disharmony. Some say that humans might have even been before Celestia's time. However, this kind species has not been confirmed, and many ponies now say that this kind of species never existed in the first place.
Then how were they here...there must be some kind of explanation!
I put down my book. It's time to meet Lyra.
I am really busy most of the time so I'm not sure how much time I'll have to RP.
