//------------------------------// // Chapter 11 // Story: Falling // by Angels //------------------------------// Chapter 11 After packing, Twi gives spike a list of instructions for while she's away. "Aw c'mon Twilight, it's only for a few days!" Spike and I say at EXACTLY the same time. "And that proves I know everything. Even what your going to say." * * * Outside, I get the same looks as yesterday, but much warmer looks too. Seems Like my 'comment' got publisher pretty fast. "C'mon Quinn. The train is-" "Twi, I know where the train is. I can even see it from here." "Ok, ok...sheesh..." * * * "Quinn, you look bored. Here, I brought some-" "Books? Wow, Twi. Way to go. As a matter of fact, I really like to read. What have you got?" "Well, there's Daring Do, Rainbow likes those, and there's a few magic books, a grammar book, and a general history of Equestria book." "I've got to see what's up with Daring Do. I know how much Rainbow loves those. Enough to steal them in fact...but anyway! Thanks!" * * * "Final stop, Canterlot! Final stop!" "Here we are! Welcome to Canterlot!" A wall of sound washed over me. I'm not kidding here. The sound felt, yes felt, more important than in other places. Weird, right? Anyway, on to the princess! "So, with everyPONY (there, I got it right) not knowing about me, are we getting a royal guard escort, or teleporting, cause I know you can, or can I have some fun with this?" "Fun? What do you mean, fun?" "Like this!" I jump out of the train car (well, climb out, but with style.) and stand up to my full height. I was never a exceptionally tall person, but when all other creatures around you are between knee and waist hight, 5'9'' is pretty tall. Almost immediately, the mood(?) of the sound changed from snob to awe and wonder. I kinda liked this feeling. Hey, we got a path straight to the castle because of me. No complaints here! At first the gate guards freaked out. I mean, who wouldn't? But when they saw Twi, they were all 'let me get that for you miss Sparkle' and 'would you like some tea miss Sparkle?'. Ugh.
