Chaos Mark Crusaders: RotE Episode 8

Everything in my room floating was probably bad, but right now I just didn't care. I could fly. I could soar above the clouds and visit Rainbow Dash without help. I mean it seemed to only be stuff I touched a lot like my bed and dresser, and it wasn't that big a deal to tie them down. I then saw a yellow dot with some red on as I was flying over Sweet Apple Acres. It was only two more days. That's close enough right?

"Hey there Applebloom."

"Scootaloo? Where are you."

"I'm right aboveā€¦"

Then I was close enough to realize something was wrong. I landed just to make sure. Applbloom was much bigger than me now. She looked the same as ever, just was bigger. An extra large filly. Then the wind gusted and I nearly blew away. Applebloom grabbed my tail before I could act. I then flew out of her grip. Flying was great but it was tiring too.

"So Discord messed ya up too?"

"Oh, what did you want, to be super huge."

"Just big and strong. Ah guess that varmint can bend things we want a bit and made it focus on the big more than the strong."

"He did exactly what he said for me, just being super light can be annoying sometimes. Doesn't matter much inside when there's no wind though."

"Ah see. You think he got Sweetie too somehow?"

"Probably. Still, its not like this is a big deal and flying is so awesome."

Applebloom smiled. "Yea, I can get a real good buck in. Not quite as good as Applejack, but I never had a problem with hard work. Practice makes perfect."

"Yea, whatever. It sounds really boring to me, but all your family got their cutie marks for working the farm and stuff right?"

Applebloom nodded. "Yea, ah'm sure they did. Ah can't remember the exact stories right now but they musta, right?"

"Yea, just like I'm sure flying has to be how I get my cutie mark. I mean we've tried like everything else, so that just makes sense."

"And ah bet Sweetie with her new magic can make some awesome dresses just like Rarity. Remember those great costumes she made for the talent show."

I smiled. "Yea those were awesome alright." Then I frowned. "Still, we probably should like tell somepony, right?"

"It ain't like ah can hide this. Twilight already said she can't do nothing and we should just hope fer the best."

"Oh, well I do have one other problem, but it's probably the same thing."

"What problem?"

"Stuff in my room is floating. It isn't a big deal or anything, and I guess if Twilight can't do anything no point in thinking about it any longer, is there?"

Applebloom nodded. "Yea, besides, how much worse can it get?"

There was a huge crash of rumbling thunder. We both jumped at the sudden sound. I looked up to see a huge dark cloud overhead. Rainbow Dash then peeked over the side. I immediately sped into the air so I could look her in the eyes.

"Ah, finally got off the ground for real squirt? Nice."

"What ya doing Dash?"

"Just moving this cloud. Oh, uh, sorry by the way. Didn't mean to spook ya like that."

"I wasn't scared, just surprised."

Dash laughed. "I use that one too sometimes." Then she blinked and shook her head. "I mea, yea, of course, just like me. It's supposed to be a surprise, it's sorta the point."

"Oooo, can I help you with that?"

Dash shook her head. "The basic weather management course isn't a bid deal, but there is a good reason it's required for weather work even if 90% of it is stuff every pegasus knows, and the almost all the rest is pretty obvious if you think about it a little."

"And even though I can fly now I'm too little."

"Actually Scoots the basic course is available right after you finish flight school, but most don't take it because you have to keep going to normal school too."

"Aww, really. That's lame. Oo, I can at least watch though right?"

"Yea, sure, why not. Though you feel kinda weird somehow, like you're flying, but not really flying. Or maybe just really weak flying somehow."

I looked down. "Uh, I kinda used some of Discord's magic to make myself lighter."

"Oh, that's all? Sounds a little risky, but I've done way more dangerous things trying to be the best. Well, sorta. I mean you are supposed to be using it somehow right?"

I nodded. "Yea, Luna and Twilight, and I think even Celestia said so."

"Well there ya go. You're good. Come, just be careful, this a wild cloud that came out of the Everfree and it's still a little ornery."

Then Dash was off, rainbow trail behind her. It was amazing. I followed fast as I could behind her. I had to teleport a few times to keep up. Dash is so cool.
