Onyx was slowly walking through town after he had ordered his new supply of metal and saw Big Mac and Comet Colt. He quickly got their attention and was happy that they were waving him over. "So what has been happening while I was busy with my newest project?"
Big Mac blinked before nodding at Rainbow flying around. "They called Rainbow a hero, and she has been getting pretty big britches as it were."
Comet sighed at Mac's words before nodding in agreement. "Yup, 100 percent true."
This surprised the hell out of Onyx because the last time they were talking like this, Comet went to bat for Rainbow right off the bat. He quickly spoke his observation. "So that fight between you two is a lot bigger than I thought it was."
Comet let out a massive sigh of annoyance before looking at Onyx tiredly. "She wants me to be more adventurous and aim for a bigger job, but my talent is literally moving heavy loads long-distance Onyx."
Onyx nods in agreement because Comet is one of the best at long distance shipping; he can reach halfway across the country in 12 hours and in 24 meet the other end of Equestria, which makes him one of the best long distant sprinters in the world and dame near one of the fastest. "Weren't you approached by the wonder bolts to move shit for them, Comet?"
Comet nodded and sipped at his drink while looking extremely annoyed with Rainbow. "But that does not matter to her; she thinks I can do more and that I am wasting myself pursuing something that I love."
Onyx looked at Big Mac as Comet rested his head on the table with an explosive sigh. "So, what else has been going on with you, Big Mac?"
Big Mac nodded his head before explaining that he had been approached by a couple of Ponies to help them build engines for things, but they wanted something that was not the same as farm equipment which was annoying him. Onyx nodded before seeing Rainbow flying through the sky and watching her try and save a hot air balloon before watching a mysteriously dressed mare save the people in it and watching Rainbow crash. "Well, then it looks like we have another hero in Ponyville."
Comet let out a low snicker at Onyxs words before looking at the stuck Rainbow. "Maybe her head will get a pop that she needs."
Big Mac was confused about who the new mare could be, Onyx watched what was the middle point of 'Mysterious Mare do well' begin before remembering. "Has anyone spoken to Astral recently?"
Big Mac shook his head while informing Onyx that he had not seen him at all. Comet, though, nodded his head. "He was going out of town for a few days."
Onyx nodded and started speaking with the guys about other things about their day, uncaring about the new hero saving ponies in Ponyville.
---Time Skip---
As Onyx was walking down the street, he was shocked that a buggy was rolling down a cliff extremely fast before Rainbow was quick to show up and try to stop it. Onyx was about to use his magic when he noticed Rainbow get blown away by the buggy before the mysterious mare showed up and suddenly stopped as if it were extremely light. "Why on earth is Mare Do Well so strong because if she was able to fly like Rainbow, she should be weaker in the strength department."
Onyx quickly ran home, trying to remember how this episode in the show went because it was just not clicking in his head before deciding that it was not enormously significant. It was time to go on a date with, the girls and he already planned out a home-cooked meal for Rarity and a lovely luncheon for Applejack and a movie and dancing for Pinkie.
---Time Skip---
Onyx watched the construction site where the next event was to take place. He had finally remembered how this episode went and what it was about. He slowly brought out a word puzzle before Spike walked up to him. "Howdy Onyx, what are you doing today?"
"Enjoying a lazy day in the sun and working on a small word puzzle while I take a break from what I was working on." Onyx informed while he sipped at his drink in enjoyment.
Spike nodded before climbing onto the bench and sitting with him. "Why do you work so hard, Onyx?"
Onyx blinked at the question before smiling down at Spike. "Spike, I am going to let you in on a little secret. Despite how stressed I get, I have not worked a single day of my life."
Spike was confused and decided to ask the question. "What do you mean?"
Onyx set the word puzzle down and looked at the sky. "I love working on my Runic creations no matter how much I struggle and am frustrated, I am not making anything that I do not want to make it all belongs to me I have no deadlines because I have plenty of money."
Spike was surprised because everything he described sounded like tons of work is going into his Runic projects. "But then how is that not working, Onyx?"
"When you truly love what you do, you will never work a day in your entire life Spike." Onyx explained before he started hearing something fall apart. Onyx slowly got up before noticing Mare Do Well and Rainbow racing into the construction site. "Looks like I do not have to get involved."
Spike nodded and watched as Mare DO Well was quick to rescue five Ponies while Rainbow only rescued one. Rainbow was quick to complain. "Okay, so what? She is strong, fast and somehow knows what is going to happen ahead of time."
Onyx watched as Rainbow was trying to figure out who Mare Do Well was before looking down at Spike. "Well, who do you think Mare Do Well is Spike?"
Spike blinked before humming at who Mare Do Well could be before admitting it is near impossible to tell just from what he has seen. "No idea."
---Time Skip---
Onyx was surprised before realizing that he missed the breaking of the damn, which was surprising before looking at the welcoming parade. Big Mac and Comet were quick to swagger up next to Onyx, with Big Mac quickly asking. "Parade Start?"
Onyx shook his head while looking at Rainbow, who was peering around the ponies looking for something in particular. "What do you guys think Rainbows looking for?"
Comet sighed while watching her. "Most likely for who Mare Do Well could be."
Onyx snorted before laying back in his chair. "The Mare is multiple people."
Big Mac was surprised and poked Onyx for more information because he sounds really confident. "Explain?"
"Only a couple of beings can fly and use magic there might be a third, but right now, there are only two known, The Princesses of Equestria." Onyx explained before remembering his fifth volume was nearly done, he is hoping he can get it done before the changelings show up.
Comet and Big Mac blink and let out a snort at the ridiculousness of the Princesses doing something like this. Comet nodded his head and was quick to agree with Onyx. "The only other option is for there to be multiple people."
Mayor Mare was quick to get the attention of the Ponies in front of him. "Welcome to Ponyville's first, but most assuredly not the last, thank you parade in honor of Ponyville's greatest and most mysterious hero, Mare DO Well."
When Mare Do Well burst through the banner with her face, that crowd was quick to burst into cheers. Rainbow quickly flew up to the Pony in a strange outfit. "The Mysterious Mare Do Well, huh?"
Onyx let out a low sigh at Rainbow's actions. "She could not wait until the end of the parade, could she?"
The other two let out low grimaces at her reactions as well before Comet looked at her actions. "Why is she doing this now?"
Big Mac snorted at the obvious answer. "Jealous."
Onyx nodded in agreement with Big Mac. "And now she is ruining this for the kids in the crowd."
As they watched Rainbow and Mare Do Well runoff, some of the kids let out groans of disappointment. Scootaloo was quick to speak. "Why did Rainbow do that?"
Onyx rubbed her head, causing her to look up. "She was just worried about who could be under the mask, kid."
Scootaloo and the kids were confused about why that would matter. "There could have been anybody under that mask, kids."
"Rainbow is your personal hero that protects you from anything ne." Onyx informed them while bending down at their level. "Even if she can get a little overzealous."
The kids were quick to nod before running off while Mayor Mare walked up to Onyx and bowed. "Thank you, Onyx that could have gotten a lot, worse than it was."
Onyx nodded at her. "Of course, anything to help out Ponyville."
Mayor Mare was quick to help in the cleanup, and Onyx was quick to pick up some of the more oversized loads while Big Mac and Comet were quick to help.
---Time Skip---
Rainbow sat at her house before she heard someone land on her cloud and saw Comet. "Howdy Comet."
Comet nodded before looking out at the view. "We need to talk, Rainbow."
Rainbow sighed and looked at Comet and nodded her head, and decided to go first. "I am sorry for trying to force you to do things that you did not want to do."
Comet blinked in surprise before nodding. "What was that just happened in front of Scootaloo and the kids."
Rainbow grimaced and sat down and looked at him. "I was jealous, okay, and I was being taught a lesson by my friends."
"Oh, because it was a lesson that makes it okay?" Comet bit out. "Those kids were meeting a real-life superhero."
Rainbow started getting mad as well. "I cannot apologize for messing that up for them."
Comet barked out a little laugh. "Did you even apologize to Scootaloo?"
Rainbow snorted and looked at him. "Of course, not Scootaloo totally understands why I acted like I did."
Comet looked at her in annoyance. "Onyx explained why you were acting like this to the kids and made an excuse for you."
Rainbow was about to bite back something mean before sighing out, annoyed. "Well, then I will just have to thank Onyx, Comet."
Comet threw his hands in the air and walked away in annoyance, pretty much done with her. "Whatever, Rainbow, I just came for an explanation."
Rainbow looked at the back of Comet and realized if she said nothing, then this relationship might end. "I am sorry, okay, I get jealous easily, I don't take responsibility when I should, but I want this to work between us, okay, Comet."
Comet sighed before looking at Rainbow. "I am willing to try as long as you are willing to as well, Rainbow."
Rainbow quickly hugged Comet's back and said into his back. "Thank you for not giving up on me."
---Onyx house—
Onyx looked at Pinkie walk inside the house. "So how was your day, Mare Do Well?"
Pinkie blinked and smiled up at her boyfriend. "It was entertaining. I got to help out with a lesson for a friend."
Onyx nodded and picked up Pinkie and carried her upstairs. "I think you and I need a little alone time, just the two of us, huh?"
Pinkie smirked and slowly stripped her clothes. "Any time anywhere, Onyx."
Onyx, when they reached the bedroom, slammed the bedroom door shut.
