“Okay, so how are we going to do this?”
Comet Frost and I were standing at the border of Canterlot, watching the bustling city from our hiding place, watching all the ponies trotting from shop to shop, Paparazzi following the stuck-up divas and fashion models and the Pegasus guards soaring the skies. I shrugged and looked out towards the horizon. I could see the jailhouse out on the distance and it didn’t take a genius to know that the place would be swarming with armoured guards. I looked away from the crowds of ponies and looked at Comet Frost, who understandably looked just slightly worried, and nodded, a look of determination spread across my face.
“We need to go stealthy. You know, backstreets, alleyways, we’ll get there sooner or later.”
Comet Frost shook his head and smiled. “We could do that,” he lifted his hoof and pointed at the large banners that laced the tops of buildings. They all read ‘Wonderbolts performing live! Get your tickets today!’ I looked at the ground and a weak smile appeared on my face. How Rainbow Dash would love to go to that performance. I gave myself a mental note to take her to one after all this mess I had created was fixed.
“Uh huh. What about them?” I said quietly.
“Well, I thought that we could maybe, run along the tops of the buildings and hide behind the banners.”
“How?”
Comet Frost raised his wings and flapped them sarcastically. I frowned and raised my one wing and looked at him with an annoyed expression.
“Oh…. Sorry I forgot.” He Apologised
I rolled my eyes. “Have any other bright ideas?” I mumbled.
“I…Uhh… err…” he looked around hastily before smiling, probably to himself.
“What? What are you going to do…?”
The alicorn’s horn lit up a bright blue before my body was surrounded with a sparkling ribbon of magic. Slowly, it dispersed, leaving a quite pleased stallion before me. I looked at him questiongly before asking him the simple question; “What did you do…?”
“Take a look for yourself!” he said happily, noting towards my back.
I turned my head slowly, not being sure what to expect. But what I saw made me jump for joy! Well, theoretically, of course. It’s not like I would actually embarrass myself by bouncing around like a Pinkie Pie. But I was quite in awe. My lost wing had returned! I flew up happily, did a few flips in the air and landed.
“Be careful,” Comet Frost whispered, “That wing isn’t genuine, after awhile it will disappear. Now let’s go!”
I nodded as we both flew up to the rooftops of the brightly coloured buildings. We quietly snuck behind the large Wonderbolt banners, being careful not to be seen. Well, almost not seen. A local Canterlot unicorn mare may have snapped us with her camera. I dunno if she did or not, but I did see a flash and then a unicorn. When I glared at her, she sped off, so she obviously saw us.
“Scootaloo, look, We made it!”
I looked up, and sure enough, there it was. The Canterlot Jailhouse. old, dusty and rusted. No doubt Applebloom would be wanting to renovate the place. But, like stated earlier, the place was crawling with guards. I cringed and trotted quickly around the back of one of the cells which I could tell was Sweetie’s And Applebloom’s, before finding a small crack in the brickwork. I cast my gaze over towards Comet and stared at him, hoping that he could read my mind in some way or another.
“W-what are you looking at me like that for?” he said worriedly.
I gave a small smirk before nodding towards the Alicorn’s horn. “C-mon! youre the magic one here aren’t you?” I pointed my hoof towards the tiny hole in the wall. Find us a way to get through there!”
“S-Scootaloo?! Is that you?!”
“of course it is yah dummy! Who else has that voice?! Honestly, Sweetie Belle!”
“Well… you never know, Applebloom…”
My ears flattened and I became only slightly annoyed. I could hear the girls arguing from outside!
“Can you two shut up?!” I said hoarsely, “We have to try to be quiet if I have any chance of getting you guys out!”
It instantly went silent. I knew there was a way to get them out! There was a keyhole not far above my head. As I stood up on my hind legs, my replacement wing evaporated. I cast a sharp glance towards Comet Frost but he just shrugged. I knew this was it. I would finally free my friends.
