//------------------------------// // Chapter 5: 2 friends, few hours and lots of noise // Story: Fast Tap´s School Tale // by Fast Tap //------------------------------// Already in the dragon land Fast already saw the difficulty, to start, walk on 2 legs, that was quick to solve, and the second is that all the dragons watched that there is no intruder, Ocellus was right, now things got complicated, no It mattered if he was a dragon or not, they were going to suspect him, Fast had to sneak through without anyone seeing him by land or by air, he hides in a cave and sees Smolder, she was also located in another cave, Fast do a step quickly to that cave. "Hey, what's going on out there that everyone is watching?" Fast asks "I don't know, they just got that way after I came back here, Princess Ember sent me to stay here for an indefinite time, it seems that they are protecting me from those ponies." Smolder responds "I think she don't take it well what happened." Fast says "if you knew, suddenly a pony came as if he was from a sorcery novel, which suddenly began to discriminate the other 'no ponies',"-Smolder Growls-", nor I could say goodbye to my friends!" Fast supposes that this pony had to be the inspector and confess, "I know well that it happened, well truthful ..., it's me, Fast Tap." Smolder looks at him and starts to doubt "you look a bit like him." "Come on, we both went to the school of friendship that was fun, then boring, we had in that school 5 friends, a griffin, a pony, a yak, a hippogriff and a changeling." Fast says "ok, with that you convinced me Fast, and what brings you here?" Smolder asks "I come to gather everyone to live together without problems like we were, but first we have to escape from here." Fast responds "And how do you think we will do it?" Smolder says "I only see a way out of here, the way I get here, we must be undetected, just follow me…" Fast tells and there go Both were discreetly, letting no one know about it, using methods such as throwing a rock to the side to ward off nearby dragons, when they reached the edge of the land, when they suddenly turn around and see that all the dragons were behind, they were discovered trying to escape and Princess Ember was just in front, and they were fried, when an idea came to Smolder. Smolder whispers to Fast "I know how we can get out of this." Fast whispers to Smolder "You command." Smolder says "At the count of 3, fire at them: 1…" "wait what?" Fast with no idea asks Smolder stills counting "2…" "Ahh, I got it,"-Fast figures it out and in his mind says-"a giant fire." "3!" Smolder yells And they fired a fire in combination got to push the dragons and leave them unconscious for a while and took the opportunity to leave quickly. "Wooo! we did it Fast!"-Smolder celebrates, but was just looking how the sun was hiding-"Fast?" "The sun is going down and there is no time to go for Silverstream." Fast says worried Smolder grabs Fast shoulder and says "go for her." Fast says so quick "But I can't leave you like this, nor don’t you know where we will be…." A burp interrupted Fast and from that burp a text came out of that Fast read aloud: “Fast good news, I found the perfect and close hiding place, the castle of the 2 sisters is in the middle of the forest, the castle seems in ruins, but it is habitable, oh, and I also discovered how to send messages; It is already getting dark, Yona and Gallus arrived so far, I hope you come with the others” Ocellus After seeing this, Fast says "Go to the ruined castle that is located in the forest near Ponyville, tell them that I will not return until I bring Silverstream." Fast became a hippogriff and both went to their destinations, Fast knew that it was more satisfying to go for a sheep that escaped than stay with the others, he flew nonstop towards the land of the hippogriffs, or as is known, Mount Aris. After arriving at Mount Aris, Fast had to make a plan to escape with her, and he remembered everything he did previously, and took out the master plan. He enters the city located at the top of the hill on ladybug form, flew around the place, visiting each window searching her, without success, when suddenly hears a conversation coming from a street, while following the voice, he listens a conversation and looks like is with Silverstream and his dad: "Come on dad, a little more outside, I promise not leave." Says Silverstream "Okay daughter, but I don't want to see you near the exit." Says her dad "All right dad." responds happily Silverstream When Fast arrived, he look for the moment she will be alone to approach her and talk. "Hiya Silverstream." Fast says in a tiny voice "Huh? a ladybug that has the voice of my friend Fast?" Silverstream ask herself "not exactly..." Fast says and transforms into a pony Silverstream yells in exitement "Fast Tap! I'm gla……!" Fast cover her mouth quickly and says quietly "I know, but we don't have to make noise, I hear you want to go out, I've come to help you, but if we want to escape, we have to work together, do you know a place that takes us to the sea from here? it is the most convenient way out." "I know where there are, but we have to pass the guards." Silverstreams says "We will do it together-" Fast says But both says at the same time "-as friends." They both sneaked off to where Silverstream mentioned, mocking the guards, until they reached a door that led to a forest in which was guarded by hippogriff guards, Fast threw a rock that fell away from the entrance, which made the guards go to investigate there, which left the entrance enough time to enter. From there, Silverstream looked for a river where it led to a fall towards the sea, they followed it and just when they found the exit they heard a voice coming from afar and it seemed that it was from Silverstream's familiar. "Halt!" Yells that familiar Both had to jump and fall into the water, but Silverstream was afraid. "Scared too?" Fast asks with a little fear "Yes, we can get hurt or worse, we could…." Silverstream says in fear Fast with his hoove holds her claw "We both will." Silverstream got forces to jump and both at the same time they did, when the familiar arrived, he saw that there was no trace of them, and returned to their position, thinking that it was only an imagination, while, in reality, both became seaponies thanks to Fast's artifact and were in the same waterfall, taking them safely to the sea, they reached the shore, and transformed into hippogriffs with their own necklaces. Fast surprised about that says "wow! I didn't know your necklace could do that!" "Oh, this I wanted to have shown you tomorrow, how did you get your necklace?" Silverstream says happy "Well, I found it in a box, better leave before the guards arrive." Fast says before flew away with Silverstream Already in half flight Fast told Silverstream that the others were waiting for them in a ruined castle near Ponyville, but there was something that left Silverstream in doubt. "And why did you decide that we are all be together in a hiding place as if we were family?" Silverstream asks Fast get sad "You really want to know?... Well... you guys are my only family ..., you see, I lived in an orphanage my entire life, I never met my parents, the ones who took care of me I considered her as my “mother” and my imaginary friend help me too, I couldn't socialize with the others in the orphanage, just I focused on studying and on the weekends playing videogames of 1 player, while the others played in the courtyard, because of my concentration in studying, nobody adopted me, I was a shadow, everyone loved the most cutest and friendly, when I was the Last to be in the orphanage and my "mother" didn't have the money to pay the rent anymore, she had no choice but my "mother" no matter how much it hurts, leaving me on the street, she couldn't adopt me, when suddenly Twilight knocked the door, she was looking for a pony who would be willing to study, at that moment, I approached her and introduced myself, I showed her my intellect and she was fascinated, and in the end, Twilight… “adopted” me, she asked me to go to Ponyville, where I would go to the friendship school, before that train travel my imaginary friend helped me to get my cutie mark, is one of the ways I can remember him, later, I said goodbye with tears in my face to both of them one by one, my “mother” on the morning and the friend in the night, I swear from that moment to be the friendliest of all and be a great friend, I knew I had to sacrifice my past, to live a better future… well, now you know it…" Silverstream is surprised and sad about all that "wow, that was very sad, but it was worth it , because this is the best future of all." Suddenly Silverstream hugs Fast in middle flight and continue ,when they arrived at the castle of the 2 sisters, they quietly walked without waking their friends, took a blanket and slept together.
