Chapter 21

I left Rainbow behind as I went faster than ever before. Ok, slowing down, more, more...

I practically float in front of the library. I break the waves into such small pieces that they won't move me. I release the rest, and land with a thump. As I entered the treehouse, a lavender blur nearly knocked me out. Ooof. 
More hugs? Sheesh.

"Ohmygoshwherewereyouihadnoideawhereyouwereandyouweregoneforhoursand-"

"Twilight. Stop. I get it. And by the way, I can take care of myself. I'm not spike." This was followed by a "hey!" from the kitchen. 

Twi released me from the death hug. "But where were you?" 

"I just went for a walk. And met Vinyl Scratch. And learned how to fly."

"Well if that's all-wait, what? Vinyl? Flying?" 

She gave me a look that said: EXPLAIN. NOW. I sighed. 

"Why don't we go outside? C'mon!" I turn back to the door. With a huff, Twilight follows me out into the warm evening air.

I look around and spot an area of road completely clear. 

"Now, Twi?"

"What?"

"Stand back"

I release all the sounds around me as one, firing myself up so fast that even I can't see for a moment. Up, and up, and up. Once I reach the top, I fire back down to the ground. I prepare to land, but then have a better idea. Using the small waves for support, I push up and forward right before I hit the ground. It worked! I was now 'sputtering' along the surface! Now this was flying! 

Swerving around, I see Twilight, her mouth open in wonder. I spin as I glide to a stop next to her. Hovering. This is so cool! I land perfectly. 

"So? What do you think?"

"I need to write a letter."

* * *

We return to the library, and Twi goes upstairs. She calls for spike to follow, but he hands me a scroll first.

"Before I got this, I got one saying to give this letter only to you."

I thanked the little dragon, and he went up after Twilight. I carefully opened the letter.

'Dear Quinn, 

I am not blaming you for anything that happens. You did not try to come to this land. But I am required to make a decision. I do not know if I can trust you. I ask that you meet my sister and myself in the same meadow you were in today, at 11:00. Please do not be late.

Princess Celestia.'

Oh shit.
