Cherry Buck Season

[Dark Hooves]

Angel walks up to the next row of trees and starts pouring water on them when she sees Honey Suckle.

Angel: Hello.

[CherryJoy]

This orb... She holds it up Is Luna's?

She seems surprised I thought it was Celestia's... That's why I didn't Luna to know, or else she would tell Celestia

[bauccgia0]

Laserbolt raised an eyebrow.

I see. Well, I think I should have it. Not only is it Luna's, but specifically it's Nightmare Moon's. I think it may have been instrumental in the Princess' transformation. It's a very dangerous magical object. And I know Luna personally, so if I return it and say I took it, then the worst I'd get is a reprimand. If it turned out that some normal pony somehow came into having it, things could go pear-shaped fast. So, if I could have it to return back to Luna, it would be appreciated.

Laserbolt stretched out a hoof, slowly.

[CherryJoy]

Before she could hand it over cautiously, a tall unicorn mare trotted gracefully past. When Cherry saw her she hid it behind her back


Hm.... Cherry, you seem to have been keeping this place in great shape

She looks at the changelings in disgust and trots along the area.

[bauccgia0]

Laserbolt sidled up to Cherry, still looking at the unicorn that just showed up. He already didn't like how she was acting.

Quietly, almost in a whisper, he said to her, Um, Cherry? Who the buck is that, and what's her problem?

[CherryJoy]

I don't know, I think she is a reporter from the paper..

[bauccgia0]

Laserbolt's eyes light up mischeviously, and his ears perked up.

Media, huh? Alright, let me handle this.

Laserbolt puffed up his chest, and levitated a small badge out of his saddlebags, trotting up to the unicorn.

Excuse me, Ma'am, but I believe you are trespassing on private property. Furthermore, this is currently a crime scene, so I'm going to have to ask you to leave under the authority of the Lunar Guard.

Laserbolt flipped out the badge, which stated quite clearly what the badge meant for the reporter if she didn't listen to him. The Lunar Guard were fair, but like Luna herself, didn't like being ignored.

[CherryJoy]

Excuse ME, but I am the royal treasurer she says as she pulls out a badge that is decorated with jewels.

(( Can't use colour again! Soz ))

[bauccgia0]

Royal Treasurer? What's the Royal Treasurer doing on a cherry farm? And why didn't I hear about it?

Laserbolt had a full military air about him now, glaring straight at the mare.

[NightlyMoon]

Honey Suckle had finished her work for now and began to watch the sky in sadness.

[Weremetalwolf]

There wasn't much Blitz could do, he let Laserbolt take care of everything else while he took care of the trees. After he was done, or rather, after there wasn't anything else he could do, he noticed Honey Suckle staring at the sky and she seemed sad to him, so he thought that talking with her would make her feel better.
He walks to her and sat next to her "Hey, are you alright?" he asked to her, always with his usual smile.

[NightlyMoon]

Y..yes.. I..I'm fine... she sighed looking at him.

[Weremetalwolf]

Blits tilted his head a little at her reaction, it seemed to him that even if she said that she was fine she was sounding everything but fine. "Are you sure? You don't sound fine to me" he said.

[bauccgia0]

Laserbolt's mind began to race. He hadn't counted on someone actually affiliated with the royals... He looked around and saw Blitz talking to Honey Suckle. Ah, perfect!

ADMIRAL BLITZ! Please escort Ms... The Royal Treasurer off the farm. We have work to do.

[Weremetalwolf]

Admiral? Since when did he become part of the royals? And who was that Royal Treasurer he was talking about? He thought that all this was some sort of plan that came to his mind. "Uhm... Yes sir! Should I wait for you, sir, after I reached the location?" he said, trying to play along with what Laserbolt had in mind.

[bauccgia0]

No, soldier, just take her back to Canterlot, safe and sound. Come back when you're through.

Then, he walked up to Blitz, and whispered in his ear.

If anypony asks, tell them Captain Laserbolt sent you back with her. Hopefully, Luna will pull through for me.

[Weremetalwolf]

He nodded but there was a thing that he didn't tell to him and it was that he had a terrible sense of direction, saying this was a little embarassing to him but maybe he had something that would help him, somehow. "Uhm... Laserbolt... There's something I have to tell you... When I saw the announcement of this work a few weeks ago... I started to walk to get in here the same day... You have to know that I tend to get lost rather often... eheh..." he whispered back at him.

[bauccgia0]

Laserbolt's face almost betrayed him. Great. The only pony with a semi-military air about him couldn't find the broad side of a barn. This wasn't going to end well. He pointed in the direction of Canterlot, which was actually visible from where they were.

See that big castle in the distance, Blitz? GO TO THAT.

[Weremetalwolf]

Blitz turned around to see the castle far away from where they were. It was surely going to be a looong trip if they were going to go there by hoof.

"Uhm... Alright I guess... But, uhm, what should I do with Honey Suckle? She doesn't seem really well to me and I don't want to leave her like this..."

[bauccgia0]

Laserbolt looked at the young mare, sitting on the ground, trembling.

I'll talk to her, soldier. You just get the treasurer back to Canterlot.
