Chapter 7: The Beginning Of The Search

Black woke up from her peaceful slumber, odd dreams being dreamt. She slowly opened her lime green eyes and yawned. She sat at her bed, putting her back hooves on th-

"BLACK!!"

Black fell back to her laying position of the sudden call of her name.

"Celestia is visiting, today!" Black looked up and saw Twilight immediatly. Mostly because she heard the name 'Celestia'.

"What? Why?" Black asked her, raising her eyebrow. "Princess stuff maybe?"

"No, she said...," Twilight took a small pause before continuing. Although she could've said that faster, considering Black interrupted.

"What did she say to you?" Black said, getting off her bed onto her hooves.

"She said... NOTHING!" Twilight said loudly.

Twilight recieved no reaction from Black, other than her blinks.

"Nothing? " Black questioned.

"N-O-T-H-I-N-G!" Twilight said loudly, but this time it could've been considered as yelling.

"Okay?" Black said, confused. "Why is that bad? "

"Because that's not like her! She always explains things! I need you to tell me why don't you want Celestia to know you're here."

Black huffed in defeat, and pointed her hoof to her chair, gesturing for Twilight to sit on it. She did as she showed and sat on the chair. Black stood where she was standing the whole time, and started to do some explaining.

"You see, I don't really have a... pleasant past with the princess. " Black told, leaving Twilight confused.

"Possibly explain why?" Twilight questioned.

Black sighed, and continued. "We had... some disagreements... that just may sound silly if I say this, considering everypony loves Celestia," Black mocked.

"And well, I might sound silly as this story..."

"Ooh! Whatcha talkin' about?" Pinkie appeared in front of Black, while she didn't even notice her entering the room.

"Something ... about something ... that's something," Black spoke, still confused of Pinkie's random appearing in the room.

"Ooh! Sounds interesting! Can I join the something story?" Pinkie said cheerfully.

"I, uh...," Black stood in wonder if she should share it to her aswell.

The three mares were startled by the sound of knocking doors of the castle.

"Celestia?"

"Celestia."

"Oh! Celestia's here?"

The other two mares nodded to Pinkie that said "Yay!" as an answer.

Black powered her horn and teleported away, somewhere that'll Celestia definetely not come at today.

Hopefully.

Twilight walked out of the room and opened the castle doors. As expected:

"Hello princess!" Twilight greeted her ex-mentor.

"Hello, Twilight." She greeted her previous student aswell, walking into the castle.

Twilight grinned and closed the doors.
She took flight towards the princess.

"So, you didn't mention why you were coming in the letter," Twilight pointed out.

"Yes, I reckon doing so after I sent it away. I can send letters, but not get them back," Celestia said back. "And, you see, I'm here because I'd like to inform you about a specific blue unicorn."

Twilight put her hoof to her chin. "Trixie?"

"No, not this time, I was talking about a blue unicorn with black mane," Celestia said to Twilight.

"O-oh! I have definetely never seen a pony looking like that! No, not me!...," Twilight spoke nervously, chuckling awkwardly afterwards.

"Oh, brother..," Unbeknownist to them, Spike faceclawed behind the two of them.

"Oh, okay then. Just let me know if you see a pony looking like that. It's... very important for me to discuss something with her."

"heheh I will certianly let you know if I do!" Twilight said to the princess, while she smiled and gave a small nod.

"Do you mind if I look around Ponyville for a short while? Since I'm pretty sure the mare I'm looking for is here," Celestia questioned.

"heh Of course! Why not? heheh," Twilight said nervously.

"Oh, but Twilight! I thought you two need to fill out some paperwork?" Spike entered the room.

"Right! Gotta do royal stuff! Don't you too, princess?" Twilight asked, chuckling.

"Oh, yes Twilight. I fear I don't ever have time to do normal stuff," Celestia said sarcastically.

"Huh. She is a good actor." Twilight thought, thinking back at the time Celestia was supposed to act at her play.

Spike chuckled at the princess' sarcasm.

" I have a few minutes to look around. I'm going to be off to Canterlot later when I'm done. Since you're busy, I'll go on my own," Celesia said and went off to leave the castle.

"Ahh...Black better have a good hiding place while this lasts..," Twilight said, going off outside to follow Celestia and make sure she goes the way she's supposed to.
The opposite way of Black's location.
