Starting off with the Queen's reign, those that choose to flee from her rulings had dropped everything, rushing away to find a better place worth living. While they didnt stick around for long, their homes sure took a nice beating from the destructive battles of light and dark creatures alike.

[Enter Plush Ramen & Orange Glow]
Landing in front of a few broken homes in a row, the orange coated mare turned to look at the changeling just behind. While she found things to be far too trusting for her watcher, Plush found herself in a dilemma. All along, all she really wanted, was someone to be with her. Sighing mainly to herself, blue eyes scanned the surroundings for the safest looking house. Pointing to the left, she shrugged as if she was asking more then anything.
"What do you think?"

"Well.. It looks like a house" Orange chuckled a bit getting close to Plush again. Her eyes scanned the area quick making sure no pony was around nor something that could harm them.
"Alright, lets do this"

Hesitantly moving to the left house, the mare reached for the door handle before twisting it open. Upon hearing the door creak open to signal it had been unlocked, Plush proceeded to enter the building. Looking around the dark room, sunlight helped aid in some brightness across the rooms floor. Continuing to look around inside, it seemed this little home had a basement. Noting the door to that was wide open, Plush Ramen froze. Memories of her childhood had begun to creep up into her spine as goosebumps emerged in a less then pleasing fashion.
"Um.. I think.. tools are down there. Go.. look."

Orange could mildly sense Plush's feelings about the seller and approached her. "Of course.. But what's wrong?"

Continuing to stare down the dark and seemingly endless staircase, Plush Ramen had said nothing. Growing more fearful by the second, horrid memories had begun to flash through the mares mind. She remembered it all, from the many times getting shoved down those steps to the endless darkness taunting her every turn, the pegasus refused to move. For years she was trapped, in a dark creepy basement while mad ponies discussed how much money was involved in fillynapping. Stepping back, Plush looked to Orange in an attempt to snap out of it, essentially coming up with any excuse for a good price.
"Nothing.. just, reminiscing. I cant see well in the dark. Id prefer if you went."

"Nothing is dark with these eyes madame" Orange smiled and gestured to her eyes with a hoof. He horn glowed momentarily causing her eyes to dim then grow insanely bright. The house would be fully lit at this point. Orange chuckled and looked down the stairs.
"So let's go, I'll be here with you" Orange smiled and took the first step.

Amazed by the amount of talent this changeling had at her disposal, Plush stood with hesitation. Great, so noa she had no more excuses at her side, the orange coated mare looked to her nervously. The house was lit, that was great, but something kept her at bay, something kept her from moving.
"I'll.. stand watch. Quickly, just go."

"Your coming with me.. Besides it's always good to face your fears damn it. If you don't you won't get over them" Orange glared at Plush. She was being adamant about her going with her.

Clenching her eyes shut and motioning Orange to continue onward, Plush had truly wanted to just tell her off when she could. Instead, she grew silent, her inner voice unsure on where it stood with emotions anymore. Debating what she should do, the pony sighed in clear irritation. With a mumble, she slowly followed.
"Maybe you should take your own advice."

Orange scoffed at Plush and walked down the stairs to search for tools. She shook her head while looking mumbling silently. "Scardy cat.. "
Orange made her way to a shelf spotting some tools that she could use grinning.

Glaring down at the bug, Plush took a step down. Not moving any further however, she stayed at the top. Huffing and standing in wait, the mare looked around to ensure everything was clear. Hating to wait, it killed her to just stand around, but it also didn't quite seem worth it to follow.
"Find anything useful?"

Orange came back up with a small tool box with basic tools in it placing it at Plush's hooves. "Might have.."

Silently startIng to crumble underneath the weight of the two ponies, the staircase that had been deserted was not running on good times. By the time the changeling mare met up with Plush, things had gone horribly horribly wrong. Collapsing within seconds, the two would feel a shift in weight before drastically losing the floor beneath them. With flying not really being an option due to the hard wood and railing pieces falling around, it was time for some true survival tests as things grew darker.

Taking the tools with a grateful expression, Plush had been about to apologize when the stairs crumbled. Attempting to grip anything she could, the orange mare had snagged the handle of the door itself. Throwing the tool box as a reflex, sending it out of the basement as she found herself slipping from the last collapsing steps left. Remembering Orange Glow, Plush had reached back to see where the changeling went when she found herself letting go. Falling towards the floor in a gasp, her blue orbs closed themselves shut in fear and anticipation. Covering her face from the wood fallings, she awaited an impact.

Plush would of course land on top of Orange. Orange grunted at the impact of another pony landing on her, she wasn't physically strong and Plush wasn't exactly light. Orange rubbed her head a bit once all the commotion settled down. She couldn't stand with Plush on top of her. "Oooooooow.... G-get off of me.."

Landing on a softer spot then expected, Plush opens her eyes to see what happened. Shifting and looking beneath her to Orange Glow herself, the mare snapped into reality. Rolling off, she found herself with nothing more then a few scratches as she managed to stand. Looking down to the changeling, Plush Ramen lended a hoof.
"Sorry.. are you okay?"

Orange took the hoof and stood up with her assistance. Orange nodded to the made and smiled.
"Yeah I'm fine. After all you aren't that heavy" Orange chuckled now using her eyes to illuminate the basement.

"Heh. Guess that's one way to get me down here."
Joking in an attempt to calm herself from the sudden realization of being down there to begin with, Plush looked around. Running a hoof through her mane and trying to think of what they could accomplish, she sighed.
"What good is it? If we help. If we don't. If we died just now, who would miss us? Its all pointless."

Orange on a split descion smacked Plush on the cheek with her hoof. "Its not pointless, its never pointless. We have to think someone will care and I'm sure someone does. Now let's think how to get out of here."

Turning to face the grey and holed mare that had slapped her, Plush Ramen had fought hard with herself to keep her anger under control. Never wishing to be controlled by it again, the pegasus had simply stared in displeasure.
"Whatever. Maybe for you. Lets just get the hell out of here."
Briefly considering striking her with a wood shaving from the steps themselves, Plush walked away as she concentrated on her breathing. This was a change for her, and to be treated with such little respect, it was hard. But atleast Orange Glow was trying too, that had the mare starting to lighten up.

"Sorry" Orange muttered. She was never one for out right violence, but that slap just came out. She walked to where the stairs were and used her magic to try to clean the debris. It would take a bit, but she could easily do it.

Following not long after, at least they had received tools from all of this. Coming up behind her, the mare simply stood there in wait. She could have helped, or flapped her wings to get up there, but at this very moment, Plush wanted to do nothing. Thinking over what she talked about, Plush responded.
"Sorry too.. I forget my place sometimes. It won't happen again."

Orange rolls her eyes and sighs. "You have no place in this new world yet, well besides the arena. You have to find one, and I'm sure you will when you survive"
Orange smiled finally have cleared all the debris, they could easily both fly out now.

Flapping her wings and ignoring the changelings last statement, Plush landed in the doorway. Pushing open the door and walking back into the living room, the mare stopped. Suddenly finding her bound up emotions trembling slightly on the inside, Plush did what felt right. Wiping off the closest table of its glass and valuables, the break of such things had certainly helped her temper control.
"I'm sick of this place."

Orange flew up behind Plush and approached her slowly. She put a hoof on her back and smiled. "Well, this place could still use a pony like you. You know.. I read your file a few times and.. I know what you used make as a filly."

Something in Plush had snapped at that point, whether through humiliation or pity, the mare bit her lip. She knew everything about her, and all she could do was sit back and take it like the prisoner she was? Hating to admit that she really was only just that, blue orbs shot back at Orange with a drastic shift in emotions.
"How dare you. Read my file? Let's get one thing straight, you don't know me. So stop pretending like you do. What's written on a piece of paper versus real life is completely different. Do whatever you want, I'm sick of this new land and I'm sick of you!"
Turning to the door, Plush Ramen attempted to just walk out. Not knowing jow far she'd get, the mare went for it. While her intentions seemed clear at the time, she knew deep down that she was only trying to push this creature away for her own good. After all, being a friend of Plushs, never turned out well for anyone. With that in mind, she opened the door to the outside world.

Orange quickly bolted infront of Plush, standing in the door way. She narrowed her eyes at the mare and spoke very carefully to her. "Don't you dare try it, it would be a very bad idea. As much as I didn't like you before that is all in the past. For your own good you need to stay"
Orange not convinced that little speach would work readied a spell of sorts.

"For my own good?"
Glaring back, Plush had found herself on a very teetering scale. She had slowly and gradually begun to gain her energy back, but that did not mean she gained her muscle back quite so fast. Unsure if she could really out fly anyone right now, the orange coated mare felt defenseless. She could power through Orange Glow, but then, what next? Knowing she didn't have the strength to defeat a group of soldiers let alone an army, Plush Ramen felt herself grow more frustrated, but at herself. Why couldn't she just shut up and do what the changeling told her to do? Why did pride suddenly matter. Breathing hard and finding herself at a stare down battle with the mare in front of her, the raven maned pegasus had finally looked away. While that in turn meant Orange won that battle, Plush wasnt about to admit to such a thing.
"It would have been better, if you left in prison. Lets just go."

"Good, we have a town to try to fix." Orange smiled like a filly for a bit levitating the tool box in front of Plush in her dim orange aura.
Orange wasn't sure what was with this mare, always flipping from one side of the scale to the other. Though she sure found her interesting and this made her assignment all the more fun, besides now they might actually be able to do some good.
