//------------------------------// // Not so clear skies // Story: The journey begins // by Thenewbluebrony //------------------------------// "There is one thing we can't train Aquamarine here, we need more space." Said Bluebolt. "Well he can't leave the woods he might be hurt by the ones who were chasing his mother" Said Clair. During this discussion they did not see Aqua wander off. "Clair it has been six months, It seems like the fury should be over." Said Brian. Aqua's pov "Well I need to find an place to learn to fly." Said Aquamarine. "I wonder if the deer will let me use the grove." Deer grove "Who is it" said Daniel the deer. At this moment Daniel looks down to see Aqua. "Oh It's you Aqua what brings you here on such a fine day" "Well Mr.Daniel I was hoping I could learn to fly here it is one of the only areas that has a clearing in the trees." Said Aqua. "I will have to talk to the others about it but it will help that your being supported by the Grove's head stag." Said Daniel as he winked at Aqua. "Thank you Daniel" Said Aqua as he ran off to were Bluebolt and the others were. Charmed Expanse "Where is Aqua?" Asked Bluebolt. with concern in his voice. "I am over here, I went to ask Daniel if we could train at the grove." Responded Aqua. "Who is Daniel?" Asked Bluebolt. "Daniel is our neighbor to the west. He is the head stag of the deer the grove is one of the few clearings in the woods." Explained Brian. As this was said Daniel appeared. "Well I have some good news and bad news. What do you want to hear first?" Asked Daniel. "I think we should hear the bad news to get it out of the way." Said Snow "I agree with Snow." Said Amber. everyone agreed so they chose the bad news first. "The bad news is the others said no" Said Daniel with a sad face. "Then what is the good news? Asked Claire "We have heard that there is a new clearing thanks to the beavers!" Daniel yelled It was silent for a few seconds before Aqua spoke up. "So the beavers made it for us" Asked Aqua. While his ears were perking up. "No but they might let you use it if your family help." Answered Daniel. as Aqua's ears went down. "Hey cheer up little guy the Beavers really like your family." "Thank you for the information uncle Daniel you're the best." Cheered Aqua. Clearing "Hi there may I ask a question?" Aqua asked the Beaver. The others just here a clicking sound But Aqua hears. "Well you did just ask one." Said the Beaver as he turned around. "So what did you want to ask kid? Hurry we have a job to do." "Would it be okay if i learn to fly here?" Asked Aqua "Sure you seem to be nice enough, but only if you help us finish this dam." Said the Beaver "Well we wouldn't mind helping you and the others with some work and making new friends." Stated Aqua. "Deal the names Vito. Hey boys meet our new friend." Vito said as two more beavers came to meet Aqua. "Hey kid meet Stefan, and Frank." "Hey there Vito how is it going?" Asked Frank. "I have had worse days Frank." Said Vito as he walked over to frank and shook Aqua's hoof. "The other guy is Stefan he makes the designs for the dam." Said Frank "How has your day been Stefan." "I found a weak point in my most recent plan so the barrier will take at least a few more days, to start so we should be able to start in at most five days at the least three days." Said Stefan. "Will Anyone tell me what is being said?" Asked Bluebolt. "They are just talking about their job." Answered Aqua. "One weak point was found in a plan so the build will take a few more days to start the project." "What did they say about letting us fly here?" Asked an annoyed Bluebolt. "Will they let us fly here?" "They said they will let us fly here if we help them with the builds." Responded Aqua. Five days later Clearing "So the first thing we need help with is digging up the ground for the base logs of the dam." Said Vito "Can you show us the place to dig at?" Asked Clair. "The build spot is the river bend the hole will need to be three logs deep and two logs wide." Answered Vito as he pointed at the spot. As this was said Snow Ember Shade and Kara instantly started digging two on each side of the river. When it was done Snow and Kara jumped over the river. "So what do we need to do next Vito?" Asked Shade. "Well the next thing is moving the logs to the holes." Replied Vito as he and Frank brought down the last tree that needed to be cut to make the logs. As Aqua explained to Blue and Pepper. "Aqua would you watch Peppermint as she helps with her magic?" Asked Brian, as Brian said this the logs started floating to the hole the others had dug. "I am sure he will be able to help soon enough." Said Clair, as she and Snow jumped on the logs to help push them down. "I hope I will be able to help soon I want to be able to fly soon." Said Aqua. "It will be quite some time before you will be able to fly or even carry stuff." Said Bluebolt. "Bluebolt how long do you think it will take for Aqua to be able to fly?" Asked Brian. "I think it will take around one year to get him into the air with him being able to fly with ease " Answered Bluebolt. "And it will take six months for him to be able to carry stuff. Said Peppermint. "Me and the boys want to thank you for the help everyone." Said Vito.
