//------------------------------// // Chapter 52 // Story: Raindrops' Wrap Up // by Arkensaw Pinkerton //------------------------------// Twilight looks pretty angry and the first thing your brain comes up with is "Throw the book at her and run away!". You're almost impressed by how terrible an idea that is. Unfortunately, the thought makes it all the way to your hooves before you can call it back and you lob 'Amniomorphics' at Twilight as hard as you can. Well, the cat's out of the bag now. You spread your wings and by the time the weighty tome collides with Twilight's face you're halfway to the window. You hear Pinkie and Spike gasp as you burst through the glass and power on towards one of your favourite thinking places, the water tower on the outskirts of Ponyville. You tuck yourself in under a girder and hold your head in your hooves. Well, you just assaulted the only pony in town with a personal line to the Princess. By throwing a really big book at her. Then you broke her window and ran away. That horizon looks mighty tempting. You've got a couple of things you can do, really- you could fly back and apologise, and if Twilight's inclined to forgive you you might be able to smooth the whole thing over. On the other hoof, if she's ticked at you then you're staring down assault charges and probably destruction of property for the window too. Augh, and that stupid book! You bet it's expensive. It looked old. You hope it's not too badly damaged. The other thing you could do is wing it somewhere else. You could go to Cloudsdale maybe, or try your luck on the frontier, or something. But you might be over-reacting horribly if Twilight's a reasonable pony. She's friends with Pinkie, for crying out loud! How seriously can she have taken you throwing a book at her? Although you get the feeling if you've broken her face and the book it's going to be the book she's angry about. Please put requests for Raindrops' actions in the comments below!
