I back up a few paces and kept my eyes on Red. He started to sit up as Peachy backed away from him. It took him a moment to realize who I was, but I saw his eyes open wide once he did.
"Scootaloo?" he asked, still sounding tired.
"Red?" I doubled back.
"What's going on? Why are you in my room?" He rubbed his eyes again and looked back at me.
"It's my room too..." I said slowly.
"Wow, that's......"Red paused for a moment, "Funny."
"Funny? How?" I asked.
"Who'd imagine that after not seeing each other for more than a year, we'd wind up meeting each other, and then room with each other." he laughed a bit.
"It's weird!" I said, somewhat happily.
"Who's she?" Red looked at Peachy.
"A new friend of mine, mind if she stays over tonight?" I made sure that Red was alright with the idea.
"No problem," he looked over at the clock, "I'll be leaving for the night in a few minutes, you can take my bed."
"Where are you going?" I asked.
"Nowhere important,"he studdered his words, "Just going to meet some friends in town.
"At midnight?" Peachy questioned.
"Look, I'm going out and you can't say anything to stop me so just back off." Re took a stern voice against the two of us, backing us up against the wall almost.
"Red! Calm down, you're scaring us!" I yelled as him.
"Please stop questioning where I go at nights then." he said calmly.
"Okay, we'll stop questioning you." Peachy said, her voice waving in and out.
"It never hurts to be early, I'm going to leave early, night Peach, night Scoots." Red walked out of the room and shut the door lightly behind him.
"Sooo...." Peachy said.
"So....?" I echoed.
"Follow him?" she offered.
"Follow him." I accepted the offer.
The two of us giggled as we waited for Red to be about three stories down before we left. I closed the door and glided us down the stairwell,making us almost silent as we closed in on Red.Once we reached the ground floor, Peachy opened the door as I flew out of it.
"Do you know the cloud walking spell?" I whispered, not wanting to be caught by Red.
"Yeah, I did it when I was on the way to the academy." Peachy whispered back, "It's required for being in a few plays.
"I'm gonna land us on a cloud, and then we'll jump from cloud to cloud following him." i made the plan whilst going for a cloud.
"Sounds good, just make sure i don't fall." Peachy warned.
"No problem." I whispered a final note before I landed us on the first cloud, we had a view of Red, and the walkways that extended almost 300 feet in front of him. All he did was walk, so we glided to a cloud about a half mile from where we started, we were now between Red and his destination so we had to be extra careful not to give ourselves away.
"What do you think he's going to do?" Peachy whispered to me, the two of us kept our heads down.
"I don't know too much about him, he could be doing anything." I said, barely peering over at Red walking by.
As he neared an alley, he suddenly turned and ran down and out of our view, Peachy jumped on my back, and we shot off behind him. I soared above the alley, as I caught sight of Red, i landed ten feet above him on a building's roof.
By this time, we were well away from the campus, so I had almost no idea where we were...other than the small trace of clouds we had hopped in and out of.
Red paused at the end of the alley and knocked on a door twice, a small slit in the door opened, revealing a large set of eyes behind the door. Red said "Harbor" and walked through the open doorway, sounds of music echoed out of the door as it closed.
"Should we go in?" Peachy asked, looking over at me.
"Let's go through the roof, nopony will see us easily if we go that way."
We jumped the alley and opened the door on the roof of the building that Red was in, we opened it quickly and went inside, trying not to let too much music out into the open FillyDelphian sky.
I walked around the party, or so i seemed as one, there were tons of colts and fillies there, most of them looked like they were Musical, but a few had dancing or acting Cutie Marks.
The music stopped all of a sudden ad a voice blared over the speakers,
"Let's pump the music louder!"
Some sort of rap song kicked in as the two of us explored the large multi-story building, searching and hiding from Red, we searched the three floors of the building and we couldn't find him, but then we saw it:
A basement hatch, it didn't look soundproofed, so Peachy and I jumped into the opening. We landed on a concrete floor, it felt soft, yet hard...it was hard to describe.
There was a long and large tunnel before us, and lights every few feet, it led to an open area that was filled with even more, and somewhat older colts and fillies, each one of them all looking at the stage.
Red was at center stage, a guitar in his hooves, and he raised his hoof in the air when the lights went out.
