Chapter 21: A shy heroine
'Trotting this path is like.. Well, actually I don't know...' he sighed, 'I'm so blank right now.' he looked at the sky, "It's three-fifty-three." he quietly said to himself, The sunset is a couple hours away." So he decided to keep on to thoughts that kept him busy, wanting to see a whole city hooked to the side of a mountain was overwhelming. And then he just froze, never taking his eyes off one spot.
"JetStream... JetStream." A voice was calling to his left, the froze snapped and he looked at who was speaking, it was Colos, "Hey, JetStream, you know that town op ahead?" he tilted his head in the direction of the town.
"... Oh, now I do!" Twister and Colas smiled, "That's Ponyville."
"Yeah, the one you were talking about earlier." Twister stated. The town quickly approached, it looked like a mix of modern and the Viking like buildings with dirt roads, but that's what JetStream thought. He looked around a little more and found something out of the sky.
"Hey, Colos, then what's that?"
"Well that's... That's" Colas cut in.
"It's Cloudsdale! I went there." she shared a happy expression, Colos's eyes widened in shock.
"You went somewhere without me?!" she giggled.
"Yep, guess so."
"When?"
"Two years ago, you know, I went with Dad, you went with Mom." Colos looked unsure, "Well, me and Dad went to Cloudsdale, to go antiquing."
"For what?" Colas motioned her brother to trot closer, she whispered something, "Oh, cool." he reacted, then went back to his position, "Well, that's nice and all, but we saw tons of ponies to meet and greet." he had a good grin on his face, Colas's eyes took a turn.
"Oh, that reminds me, we met ponies in Cloudsdale too."
"What a surprise." Colos muttered.
"And once you get there, it's pretty obvious that you wouldn't see none. The town is actually populated in high numbers and bigger than down here."
"So, what were some of these said ponies you have met?" Colas drifted off, only to catch the track back.
"Well, there was one that had white fur, dark-yellow eyes. He was really nice, he told us where to find certain items, cutting out time there instead of searching for an hour or so." JetStream perked up, "Really?" Twister backed up to gain space.
"What's got into you?" JetStream looked at Twister.
"That may be my Dad." All except Colos, and JetStream lost there balance suddenly, and they had to catch back up.
"Really?" JetStream nodded.
"... Yeah." JetStream looked off somewhere else.
"So your Dad was that Pegasus?" JetStream smiled, "Yeah, I'm pretty sure by now."
"I would like to meet him again, just too bad we didn't stay at the checkpoint... Oh well."
"I'm pretty sure they left by now." JetStream pointed out. After a little bit of trotting they got to the edge of Ponyville, but suddenly an object in the sky, seemed to be falling from clouds up above so high. And with out another second, "Oh! Oh no!" he felt like he didn't know, but knew it anyway. Like knowing it was there but pretend to not see it, but he knew that wasn't the case. Galloping as fast as he could to the doom of who or whatever this is, every second was closer to the impact, his and... her... heart must be racing, she finally came into view. A Pegasus pony was falling to Earth, 'Maybe her wings are hurt, or even broken.' But that didn't matter at the time, he needed the softest impact for her as possible. So getting ever so close, JetStream jumped, luckily grabbing her just so he landed on the ground first, hoping the grass is a cushion itself, and landing on the grass still had dew on it, due to nopony being out here, "Aghh...!" and they slid a good distance, as soon as they stopped, the yellow-cream filly, got up, then offered JetStream up as well.
"A-are you okay?" even though she was saved, she was still really sensitive and shy. JetStream reached for her hoof.
"Yes, I'm okay." 'Me and the grass have been arguing for the past week.' JetStream mentally sighed, and the pony went to the same position, standing, one hoof crossing over the other, her head tilted forward making her mane hang over her eyes, "Are you okay?" she jumped.
"Y-yes I am, a little hurt, but it would've been worse if it weren't for you." JetStream blushed, and noticed her tone differ.
"Yeah, you're welcome... So, anyway I'll see you later, if we do that is." the filly nodded.
"Yeah, if we do." she echoed, but just before JetStream took off, "Oh, I didn't catch my, hero's, name." JetStream's muzzle went purple instantly.
"I-It's JetStream-" he suddenly inhaled, "W-what's your-" She suddenly jolted.
"Oh my! I got to go. I'll see you later." JetStream laughed unwillingly.
"Yeahyoutoo." she giggled. She then flew back up to the clouds, when she was out of sight, JetStream quickly exhaled, and his purple tint vanished, "Judging from that attitude she had... she warmed up quickly." he stated to himself, getting shivers, he then turned around and ran toward the route, but then he heard a voice he hasn't before.
"I'd agree with you there." JetStream rose an eyebrow.
"What do you mean?"
"I've been in Ponyville for a while, a long while. What you said 26 seconds ago was true." JetStream looked at the path.
"Oh, okay." JetStream soaked it up and continued toward the path.
