As Cloudchaser and Sky walked in silence for several minutes, they had made their way out of the park and onto the moon lit streets of ponyville. It was nights like these that Clouchaser liked to spend nights with that special somepony, and she began to daydream about her.
Her dreaming was broken when Sky spoke up about reaching their destination, she shook her head, and looked around trying to find her bearings, she had been walking thoughtlessly for a couple of minutes. "Oh it's only like a minute or two away, it's not that far. But if your leg gets that bad, I can always carry you." She gave him a pleasant smile as she changed her direction to the right one.

Sky looked away from her when she suggested carrying him. He had been carried once today and didn't want it to happen again.
"No, I'll be fine. I can make it." He kept walking with a limp. He wished that he could just fly but the muscle cramp and the cut made sure that he couldn't.

"You don't need to worry anymore anyway," Cloudchaser said as she rounded the corner, "My house is right here." She headed toward a medium sized two-story home, the lights on the ground floor were still on. Cloudchaser sighed in relief that Flitter would still be up, so she didn't have to get her up from sleeping.
Cloudchaser trotted up to the door and held it open, allowing Sky Force to enter before she did. "Flitter! I'm home! And we have a guest!" She called to her marefriend, wherever she was.

Flitter's ears perked up when she heard the door open from where she was laying in the master bedroom. The pegasus had been awaiting her marefriend's return, hoping to give her a bit of a surprise. But at the mention of a guest, she knew that probably wouldn't happen that night.
Oh well, meeting new ponies was always nice. She got up from the comfort of the fluffy matress and trotted across the hall to the stairs, turning and smiling down at Cloudchaser, and then turning to look at the 'guest.' It hadn't been quite what she was expecting. Her eyes flicked back to Cloudchaser as if to silently ask, 'What happened?'
Was she supposed to comment on the injuries? They were pretty glaringly obvious after all, and the way he was keeping his weight shifted off his right leg was impossible to not notice. The mare decided to play it off for now and smiled warmly at the colt.
"Welcome to our house." Flitter said, sounding delighted to have a guest over. She trotted downstairs to stand in front of the two ponies. "Can I get you anything to drink?" She offered to the guest, still smiling, "Some tea perhaps?" She had picked up a new blend of tea from the markets the day before and had been waiting for the opportunity to make it.
She turned to her marefriend and embraced her in a quick hug to welcome her home. "And for you CC?"

Sky looked away from her and replied in a flat tone of voice
"No. I'm fine. Thank you."
He turned to Cloud Chaser and addressed her.
"I suppose you want an explanation for this. Well I guess both of you want one now."

Cloudchaser hugged her marefriend, happy to be home again after her long walk around the park. "No thanks, I'm fine Flitter." She said quietly to the other pegasus before letting go of her. She turned to Sky Force as he addressed her, and nodded in agreement. "Sure, if your up for it Sky." She said as she led him into the living room, "Come sit, and we can talk.
Cloudchaser climbed up onto the sofa, leaving the recliner open for Sky Force to sit in. She left the spot open next to her so Flitter may join her.

It looked like Flitter didn't need to wait long to understand just what was going on. She followed behind Cloudchaser and this new pony into their living room. She climbed up on the couch beside Cloudchaser and rested against her, holding back a small sigh of comfort. Maybe nothing would get done, but it was nice to just sit with CC.
There wasn't much to do at that point but sit there and pay close attention to her guest. She was intensely interested to find out just what had happened. That many injuries, those clearly injured wings, his crippled leg, and all those bandages. 'Who could have done such a thing...' She thought in pity.
She said nothing though, clearly the guest had created some kind of connection with Cloudchaser, and she was simply some sort of outsider. This hurt her feelings a little, but she understood how it made sense.

Sky slowly dragged himself onto the recliner. He saw the two mares snuggle up against each other and his mind betrayed him for a moment. There was a quick flash of a scene involving the mares in his mind. He quickly pushed it away before what he was thinking became apparent. He kept himself from blushing and kept his wings in check. There were more important things to be talked about anyways. Sky sighed before beginning his story.
"I owe you an explanation. I know you two are wondering how I got this way and why I'm so depressed." Sky told them the events of the day. From the moment he set foot in Ponyville up until CC found him.
"I decided to walk to the park to think and that's where CC found me. So now you're all caught up." He looked up to the two of them after staring at the floor for his entire story.

Cloudchaser listened silently as Sky Force explained his story. She'd never had experienced something similar in Sky's case, her true love was laying right next to her. "Aww," she said as gave a sympathetic look to Sky Force, "I'm so sorry that happened to you." She looked over to Flitter giving her a look saying 'We should let him stay here.'
She looked back at Sky, hoping her marefriend understood her look. "Well," She started off giving a smile., "You can stay with us until your back on your hooves, if you want."

Flitter listened to the story and slowly grew more and more upset for the situation that Sky Force was in. It was a good thing she didn't know this Veanna pony, or else she'd be having some incredibly harsh words with her. She practically wanted to reach out and hug the pony, but she didn't know him that well yet.
She picked up the look from her marefriend and gave a slight nod. It was the least they could do. They had room, and he definitely needed a place to stay. How could she say no to that story and his horrible circumstance that he seemed to have found himself in.
"I agree, you're more than welcome to stay with us." The pegasus said, following Cloudchaser's lead, but besides that she remained mostly silent. She was never much of a big talker, and at that point she was too far in thought about his situation. The cruelty and heartlessness of some ponies never ceased to disgust her.

Sky thought about the offer for a bit. This was the third time he had been offered a home during the course of the day. He looked at the two mares. They were both so friendly with him. They didn't seem to want to hurt him at all. He also felt comfortable around them. Something about the ponies at the book shop made him feel a little uneasy. He decided to take them up on their offer and nodded to show that thought.
"Okay. I'll stay here. Thank you. I need to go get my things from the book shop and then I will be right back."

Not only was Cloudchaser relieved that Sky had taken up on Flitter and hers offer, but this would be the perfect opportunity to talk it over with Flitter, and do anything else that popped up in her head while they were alone. Cloudchaser nodded as she got up to lead Sky Force out of their home. "Take as long as you need, the door will be open for you."

Flitter climbed down from the couch and followed CC and Sky Force back to the door. She smiled warmly, but still didn't say very much. Cloudchaser said all that really needed to be said, there wasn't too much of a necesity in repeating what she had already said. Her marefriend had always been a bit more of a talker than she was, which made things easier on her.
Perhaps having a housemate would make a nice change of pace. And if it meant that she got to help another pony get back up on their hooves and out into the world then that was even better.

Sky was finally able to smile at the two of them.
"Thanks you two. I will be as quick as I can. Hopefully my leg won't slow me down too much." He began the walk towards the book shop. He would have to thank Circle for his hospitality before he left. As he walked he thought about home. So much had happened today. Back home all he had to worry about was how he was going to practice the next day. This place was different. Well maybe it wasn't this town that was different but the way he was acting. Back home he avoided most social contact but here he decided to seek it out. He was just unlucky and that first attempt came back to bite him. Sky's thoughts were interrupted as he arrived at the book shop. All of his gear was still packed so that made his job easier for him. He quickly made the bed before leaving the room. He walked downstairs and explained his situation to Circle and thanked him for his hospitality before making his way back to CC and Flitter's home.

Cloudchaser smiled and Sky left her home to get his things, she waved him off and shut the door as soon as he was out of sight. Cloudchaser turned around to face Flitter and gave her a bright smile. She trotted over to her and nuzzled her. "I'm glad we're helping him," She said as she kissed Flitter on the cheek, "I hope bringing him home didn't interrupt anything you were doing."
