//------------------------------// // 18.- A Griffon // Story: I am a cloudbender [Pegasus] // by Flash point //------------------------------// "I must say I was hoping it would be a bit more normal day" I let out a small laugh as I wiped off all the foam from my body that was placed on my cloud as a joke by the duo of Pinkie Pie and Dash. The good thing is that it is foam, it is soap, I suppose that I will take advantage of and clean my cloud that had been accumulating a lot of dirt and also leaves at home the objects that I have left in the cloud because of the rush. I found several objects that I had considered lost along with some Amperia treats that had already started to sprout. The morning had an entertaining start, but with the climate so calm I had more time which I already have plans to use, so I will take advantage of the day to do the errand since lately, I have had more visits than I had planned or used to made my pantry run out faster. With my homework finished I flew in the direction of my house where I picked up my saddlebags and now headed to the market that is in its best moment of the day with the freshest products, maybe I will stop by Sugarcube Corner for an aperitif that would not hurt... .and it has to be grape flavor. I landed in an open area of ​​the commercial area of ​​the town and kept trotting in search of the items on my list... hmm the word grape is repeated a lot. "Hey Flash !! Come closer, I have something that interests you! " A stallion named me happily, his name is Frisk and he happens to work in an ice cream parlor. "Hey- HOHOH!!" I gave an excited laugh when Frisk showed me a Deluxe Jar of Manehattan Grape Ice Cream. "Yes, I also understand that feeling, I managed to get four of these babies, two of them were snatched from my hooves by the Apple family, you will know what flavor they were" Frisk showed a happy smile for the small achievement in his business that is barely starting, since the boy is not originally from Ponyville. We discussed for a while between the two about combinations of ice cream and treats or sides to improve their ice cream shop, I shared some knowledge of the Earth, they were just collecting mental dust in the back of my head. A similar situation was repeated with other ponies when they showed me products outside of Ponyville or for their achievements, happy little conversations, while my saddlebags are increasingly filled with orders, I occupy creating a cloud, my saddlebags are getting heavy, I think I am buying more, I thought as I turned to see the two large packages that I now carry. *Rooaaarg!!* A powerful roar filled the entire small town, the glass panels trembled at the mighty roar. A Griffon thought proudly- *BOOM!!!* A powerful explosion resounded by her side along with a powerful stream of air that almost sent her flying through the air, but she buried her claws in the soft ground to hold herself in place, at the same time a strong chill ran through her entire body from her tail to her neck a sense of danger filled her mind when she tried to turn, her body urging her to distance herself from whatever it was that made her so alert. Golden eyes were what she saw, but, although they belonged to the pathetic and cowardly ponies, the one in front of her had the same essence as the warriors of her homeland, surprising her. "Just a warning, refrain from such behavior in a civil place" A serious voice reached her ears as the Stallion withdrew once he seemed to be satisfied with securing the situation, she could not help but appreciate that the boy's body was full of power, sheer and speed as he disappeared from his place in an instant. Some respect she felt for this pony by having such unexpected behavior, but she left her grumpy so she decided to leave the place as well. Away further a Pinkie Pie was silently grateful that Flash hadn't seen how the Griffin scared and spoke ill of Fluttershy, but now she would have a visitor expelled in an unharmonious way. "I have a plan! And I won't tell you anything" Pinkie jumped from her place and disappeared when she crossed a thin pole. "Momm- Twilight, I just saw Pinkie do something weird again," A scared Spike said worried as he walks away from the telescope only to see Pinkie talking to Twilight. "But y-you ... was ... I need to sleep." Flash gathered up the things that he had left earlier on the ground, as he headed back home, the thought that he knew the Griffon filled his mind until a pink hoof rose high with a letter from the top of a tree... Flash just rolled his eyes and picked up the letter and ignored the sound of Pinkie giggling happily as she delivered more cards .. sometimes more than one at the same time in different places. It was a sight... surprising, but everyone took it for granted and carried on with him. [You are invited to the Gilda The Griffon Welcome Party at Sugarcube Corner at 3:00 PM] Flash was able to observe Pinkie Pie's signature pink crayon on the pink card with a very aesthetic calligraphy style. Flash remembered where he met that grumpy griffin and was surprised to discover that she is now much more sullen and rude. "Well, time changes everything and if I remember correctly, Griffinstone is in a state of decadence this last decade, it does not surprise me much that its population is like this, they are already grumpy and now hungry," Flash said to himself like this himself and understands it, who would not be jealous of a race worshiped by the world itself. Flash decided to attend to enjoy the appetizers he could find, but now his image of Gilda was a bit stained from what he could remember, he knew how daring she was as a child, but not sullen which was what he felt when he saw her before. So to enjoy the Flash party more he arrive early... well only half an hour early, but for Pinkie, it's the same, it just means more fun for her. - - "Howdy! Flashy! Have a cupcake! " Flash was just about to enter the Sugarcube, but Pinkie was already in front of him with a big happy smile for his arrival, behind was a Rainbow murmuring while placing the punch glasses with great caution, Flash did not think about it much, he knows friendship well that Dash and Gilda share. "Whats up ~ aand thanks, delicious as always, I'll be with Rarity" Flash left Pinkie Pie and Dash alone who seemed very involved in their role of preparing the party, Pinkie was normal, but the strangeness was with Rainbow helping her when normally, she always comes after the party starts because according to her, the spirit of the party always comes last to cheer everyone up, something Pinkie Pie disagrees with. "Hello darling, you are finally honoring this lady with your presence." Rarity wasted no time approaching Flash. "Being sick and having to catch up with my routine has had that effect, but I came to ask you when you want me to model" Flash had not finished speaking yet and Rarity already had a big smile on her face of excitement. "YES! YES, you have made my day even more!! I finally have a good model, I was already thinking that you didn't want your suit for the gala!" The excitement fills Rarity especially for all the ideas that arose in her head now that she can use Flash to create clothes for Stallions, a rare clientele in Ponyville due to the small number of Stallions, apart from that they only usually wear a bowtie, but she has big plans. “You don't know what a great favor you are doing me, I have tried to get a model before, but they are very shy or very busy like Big Mac, but I also have the problem that everyone in town is robust or extra robust in the case from Big Mac, but you! my sweet friend! You have the perfect look to make a mold, you don't have extra fat, fur, or muscle, just the right proportion.“ Rarity locked herself in her world for a few seconds as she let all of her ideas out of her. "Haha" Flash could only let out a resigned laugh when he could see how busy his future days could become. "May I join to the conversation?" An intrigued Twilight approached as she carried a Spike who quickly jumped from her spot to fix his scales when he noticed a certain mare. "Just to help Rarity as a model, and she is now very excited about the future of this project together." Flash shook his shoulders as he took a sweet bite of his cupcake that had been being ignored a few minutes ago. "Hmm, it sounds interesting, but these days that I was able to have time to reason and get assistance from Princess Celestia, I have new questions to ask you about what you can do" Flash had a little tick in his eye when he managed to visualize the notebook with a pen and ink ready to jot things down. The two chatted for a while, as Rarity retired to a table to write down the ideas that came out of her head and also because her gossip instinct prompted her to question Fluttershy about the feast. While with Flash and Twilight there was a heated one-way discussion.
