//------------------------------// // 8 Gallop's talk with Twilight // Story: Dark days of Equestria // by hyderpony //------------------------------// “She's fine, she's just fine. I'm certain of that,” Gallop thought as walked back to the cave. Mum now knows about her mission. I can’t be mad at Twilight. Because she knows what's best. She's the Princess of Friendship for pony's sake. Gallop started to ponder. She had questions like: How did Spitfire know where to find Gallop in the first place? How was my mum able to give a note to Spitfire? Then she thought: Yes, mum and Spitfire know that I'm a Wonderbolt now and yes, they knew that I had a mission to do, but she doesn't know the full details of the mission. My mission! Then more questions came to the baffled gray Pegasus with a red mane and tail. Now whose being the Twilight Sparkle who asks a LOT of questions, eh? Brace yourselves. “Other thing, How did Princess Luna know about Spitfire? Was she dead before or after my dream?” Gallop thought and thought. Did the Doctor know? “AHHH I can’t think straight! There are just so many questions!” She said in frustration. Maybe Twilight knows and I would think she knows the Doctor as well. Gallop went up to Pinkie Pie. “Erm Pinkie, have you got the walkie-talkie on you?” Gallop asked. Pinkie looked up at Gallop, “Yes I do Gallop. Is everything okay?” Pinkie asked. “Oh everything's fine,” Gallop lied. “Gallop I know that everything's not okay,” Pinkie said sensing that Gallop was lying to her. “If you need to talk Gallop, I am always free. Well I say free I know for a fact that Mark Hyder is not free. As you know he is writing up my dialogue as I speak and I don't know when he's going to stop... MAAAARK! get back to the story!!” Pinkie said. Rainbow Dash rolled her eyes at Pinkie Pie, But Gallop on the other hoof looked at Pinkie. “Oh right,” Pinkie said as she hoofed walkie-talkie to Gallop. With the walkie-talkie into her hoof, she went back of the cave and pressed the button. “Twilight? it's Gallop come in please, do you read me? “Twilight here Gallop, I am so sorry about Spitfire,” Twilight said in sympathy. “How did you know about Spitfire?” Gallop asked in surprise and wonder. “Luna, she broke the news to me,” Twilight said. “Oh right, I want to ask you something?” Gallop asked. “Oh? what's that?” Twilight said. “Well first: How did Spitfire know where to find me?” Gallop asked. “Erm well she knew you had a mission but oh no! This is my fault!” Twilight said. “What is your fault Twilight?” Gallop asked. “Your mom was able to send me a message.” Twilight confessed. “How was my mum able to give you a letter?” Gallop asked. “Well that's a long story,” Twilight said. Twilight hesitated to tell the story because she knew that it may really hurt or upset Gallop Crush. Eventually Twilight told the story. Well… A big blue box, a police telephone box came where your mum was and she told the doctor to pass the message onto me and the next thing is a strong wind blew behind me. It was like the time I met myself from the future and how me from the future came to the present to see me. Well that's another story. Moving on, I looked around and there it was! The blue police box and out came the Doctor. Doctor whom I don’t know. Honest. He hoofs me the note and then I knew where your mom was,” Twilight said. “Is there more, Twilight?” Gallop asked. Not knowing whether to be sad or angry. “I'm getting there Gallop”. Twilight takes a deep breath and continues. “I then enter the box. It was no ordinary box, it was bigger on the inside than outside and the next thing I knew there was this a noise and next thing, the Doctor said: “We're here Twilight Sparkle! “Well the Doctor took you to my mum then?” Asked Gallop. “Wait how did you know?” Twilight asked in surprise. “I too have been in that same box Twilight! You see, when I was a filly I knew the Doctor and he met me at the cave. He knows about Dark Dash too,” Gallop explained. It was an amazing and odd sight to see as a young filly as I was. I also knew that he has an assistant Pegasus called Derpy Whooves, which I think she as a crush on him. I did too a little bit. She said looking embarrassed. “Oh right, yes! I went outside and there was your mom and I told her where you were,” Twilight said. “What about Spitfire?” Gallop asked. “Oh, Spitfire. Well she wanted to send a message onto you and she needed a message pony. When I was trying to think who to send, your mom wrote the note. After about 10 minutes I thought Spitfire could do that job and ran that past your mom and she then said yes. I hugged your mom and asked her to stay safe. I then went back into the police box. The Doctor went to the Wonderbolts Academy where Spitfire was. I went right to her office and told her everything. She left to find you at night thinking this would have been a safer option”. Twilight was starting to cry. “But unfortunately it was raining and there was no rain scheduled in the forecast. I think Dark Dash is now controlling the weather and I don’t know how he's doing it but nowhere is safe now Gallop. Dark Dash must have some sort of power that even I don’t know. I'm sorry Gallop,” Twilight said tearfully. “It's not your fault Twilight. However, I do have one last question, about my dream.” Gallop said. “I know about that Gallop and I know what you're going to ask me. Your dream happened the same time Spitfire was killed. I have known this would happen. I read about it. Princess Luna was trying to help you in your own nightmare as that is one of Luna's jobs. She is so sorry too Gallop,” Twilight said. “I can’t blame anypony but Dark Dash Twilight. 'IM GOING TO FIND DARK DASH AND .. and ..” Gallop said in determination. “I know how you feel Gallop, It will not be easy. Right Gallop you must leave the Cave later today! Two dead ponies in the same place doesn't feel right and I don’t like it at all. I'll talk to you later. Stay safe, I need to research something. Over and out,” Twilight said. “Thank you, Twilight.” Gallop replied. “Well Gallop, where are we off too now? Pinkie Pie said. “You were eaves dropping on me Pinkie?!” Gallop said. Pinkie Pie was close to tears and then said: “I'm sorry Gallop, but it was hard when you're shouting your head off down the Walky-talky. I thought we were a team,” Pinkie said. Gallop was close to tears now and she then hugged Pinkie. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry Pinkie, it's just so hard, this is not fair on me and most of all us. Pinkie Pie and Gallop sobbed together as they hugged. “You shouldn't hide from us Gallop, we're your friends and all we want to do is find Dark Dash and FIND WE MUST!! WHEN I DO FIND THAT EVIL PONY I'M GOING TOOO,” Rainbow Dash said as Applejack cut across. “Now now Rainbow. There's no need for that.” “Sorry,” Rainbow said. “It's quite alright.” Applejack said. “We must get packing y'all, I don’t wanna put anypony in danger, Apple Bloom said. So then the team started to pack there things for the next stage of their epic adventure.
