Chapter 5: Brand new beginnings and trust(s)


Soon after the Knuckles left, and JetStream knew it was clear, he turned the other way, sort of laughing at himself, "Funny... I got one that looks just like it..." but the then wondered to himself, he stopped to lean against the closest building he could find, "But I should find it weird myself that living things like those are, lurking around here... But oh well!... I need to get an understanding of all this, so I just need to find Sonic and Tails..." JetStream quickly looked around with the slight fear of Sonic and Tails might have already left, "... I hope they're still in the city..." he started walking up on a path going up-hill, there were tunnels of wooden beams everywhere around the city that were covered in vines and leaves, the more they were covered by them, the more cool they looked to him. JetStream knew what he was going to be doing to find them, he's been practicing his ways with Aura as he made a promise to Celestia herself, one thing was kept in mind though, telepathy, but about now it isn't all that useful. But it bugging him did usually give him urges to practice it as well, just so it stays in shape. It's the Spring of 2007, and JetStream's six years old. The time was currently 1:51pm, time somehow fascinated him, how the thought alone of how much time there is between each second just thrilled him, but not all that expressively. JetStream started galloping as he knew his sense of speed has increased too, "I need the Chaos Emerald, back at my house." like those two had said before, they are looking for the Emeralds, 'It's actually fortunate for those two to give trust in me... Especially for something that's really important to them. If it weren't for them, I wouldn't be doing this.' but as his thoughts unraveled, one dark and unanswered questioned, remained for his future. Are they doing it for good? ... Or are they not what they seem? But JetStream, either way, didn't want their hands on it till he got a good answer, that is if they'll give one. As he finally got high enough, the path ahead was completely straight with a staircase going downward below. JetStream pushed himself faster for the jump ahead of him, and pushed with all he had, "Oh that wind feels great!" he ended up jumping the whole staircase, and a couple ponies, and continued to his house. Just as Altamare seems to be, bright, colorful, and lively. Although scattered clouds were rolling in, it created cool wind below, 'The temperature is just right!' it was what he preferred, the mid 60's. But the matter of fact was, it's usually around the 70's, but most ponies were in their homes, the other half, and JetStream, was aimlessly roaming the cobble paths. It's a quiet town for sure, just the birds chirping and the waves crashing against the island below, and it could be enjoyed by anypony, "Mom, Dad, I'm back!" as he walked in, closing the door behind him. Myriad put the paper he was holding in front of him down on the table.

"You back already?" JetStream nodded.

"Yeah, apparently there's something we've never seen before is here as well." Corolla poked her neck from the corner of the hallway.

"Never seen? Really? You haven't heard?" JetStream nodded, but stopped, he was confused on how to answer this.

"Yes I have, I actually ran into them..." JetStream scratched his neck, "Really, I did." Myriad and Corolla got a face of worry and humor.

"Really now...?" JetStream nodded again.

"Like I said... Wait, it's like you've heard of them, have you?" Myriad stood up.

"Going for coffee." Corolla scoffed.

"Really? At a time like this?" Myriad gave a blank stare.

"I'm ageing too dear." he smiled as he continued, "Well, JetStream, I have, there... sort of... in the paper take a look." Myriad was right, it describes about a bright flash of light, just like JetStream saw over the tops of buildings, JetStream pointed to an image in the paper.

"I saw that, I guess I was closer than I thought. Oh! Actually I got to grab something and go." his parents stared questionably as he galloped to his room.

"Grab what?" Corolla asked.

"The stone under my bed." he answered as he slowly reached for it, Corolla nodded once again, Myriad shrugged.

"Alright then." they said in unison, "I'm putting trust in them and you that nothing bad happens." JetStream walked toward the front door to open it.

"Yeah, I'll see you." Corolla motioned a kiss to JetStream.

"I love you." JetStream laughed, blushing.

"Love you too." as he closed the door, losing his blush. "I'm going to need all the trust I can get with this..." he said, staring this stone he had in his hoof down.
