//------------------------------// // Chapter 4 // Story: Maybe once you do know // by Fat1thatyoulove //------------------------------// Chapter 4 – Hows the weather up there? The small warm kitchen plays as your torture chamber as Sweeties young colt voice continues to pound to your ears, "...How old is she?" You rub your hoof over your head as you talk, "I don't know." "How was Violet born? Mom says new fouls only come when Celestia puts a new star in the sky." Spike gives a short laugh as he talks, "No, little fillies are brought by phoenix. Twilight told me when she got back from the hospital." He squints at his own words as he pauses. "Oh..What was her first word?" You let out a sigh as you look around the room hoping to be allowed a moment's rest from its voice....but no relief comes. "Who came up with the name Violet?" Sweeties bright happy eyes whittle away at you as you finally give the answer you have been holding back on, "I can't remember Sweetie." "Hm...You said you can't remember." Sweetie jumps from the chair as he continues, "I know! I'll be right back." The pony makes a quick dash out of the room as you take the question-less moment in. Spike who has been holding in a giggle finally burst as Sweetie's hooves disappear from the room, "Shes a colt..." He brings his claws to his mouth in a sinker, "I wonder what Twilight would look like as a...-" You cut him off as you hold your hoof to him, "Stop." You look down to the burnt hot chocolate as you think, ya the last thing I need is to think about Twilight as a stallion. "Yours burnt too?" You bring you head up as you look to Spike, "Yep." Spike opens his mouth but before he can talk the young colt voice from behind you strikes against your ears, "You use to have one of these, maybe this will help?" A cape? You look over the red cloth with an insignia of a pony on it as you start to get a smile, super pony librarian is real hu? You hold your smile to Sweetie as you hold your hooves out to the cape, "Thanks." It takes you a few seconds to get the small cape around you. Sweetie holds his-her smile as it talks, "You know your a cutie mark crusader right?" You blink at the pony's comment as you talk, "I wear amour?" Sweetie squints at your word for a moment, "Um, no. OH! You should let us baby sit Violet." The colt holds a wide smile as he waits for a response. You stare at the pony for a second as you think, ok I may not be able to remember anything but I have the strangest feeling that anypony who plays in poison joke would probably not be the best pony to watch Violet. You shake your head in reply. Sweetie's happy face is lost as the colt walks back to the table, "We never get to do anything fun." Spike pokes his claw into his cup as he speaks up, "You think that's easy? HA I had to re-shelve the whole library just abo-..." "Hey Rarity! Rarity! Ra-..." The three of you turn your heads to the tomboyish voice as the blue pegasus appears in the doorway. Her voice is stopped as she stares to the colt sitting at the table, but her gaze is quickly changed to you as she squints at you almost in disgust. You look yourself over before you talk, "What?" She shakes her head as her voice picks back up, "I don't even have time to ask why you're in a cape and why Sweetie is a colt. I've been looking all over for you two, where is Twilight?" You ignored her question as you look over the star covered blue vest Rainbow has around her chest, "What's with the vest?" Rainbow looks down for a moment but quickly hikes her magenta eyes back up as she talks in a commanding tomboyish voice, "You're not still dumb are you? We have a problem where is Twili-..." "Ok everypony...Oh hi Rainbow?" Rarity and Twilight stop there leading of Violet in as they look over the rainbow maned mare. "Good, you're coming with me." Rainbow quickly darts to Twilight as she starts to push her out of the room. But Twilight moves from her as she gives a little giggle in confusion, "What's wrong Rainbow?" "What's wrong? Are you two blind? Its snowing!" Rainbow again tries to lead her friend out but is stopped again. "Yes Rainbow it looks like you brought the wrong clouds in." Rainbow seems to take offense to the comment as she scoffs, "I didn't do anything? These clouds just started showing up!" "So?" Your comment brings Twilight and Rainbow to face you for a moment but its only a moment as Twilight shows her confusion to Rainbow, "But how can snow clouds just start forming? They don't occur around Ponyville." Rainbow shakes her head as she talks, "Duh! Plus these clouds are all weird, we can't move them." Rarity now gives a light laugh as she talks, "Can't move them?" "Ya! There like Everfree forest clouds but they just keep coming!" You roll your eyes to the continued conversation as you think, wow clouds that move on there own... The rainbow mare notices your lapsed slouch as she turns her sharp eyes to you, "You think its a joke?" You straighten up as you blink at her. "...Cause its not, if we can't stop these clouds that snows going to flood the whole town!" You nod your head to her as you accept the evil cloud idea, but you still hold a slight doubt to it. "Twilight do you think you can do some kind of spell to get rid of them?" The lavender unicorn taps her hoof to her mouth as she talks in a slow unsure voice, "Well, unicorns can't manipulate the weather...but I think I might have something that can help at the library." Rainbow's wings flare out as she nods, "Got it what's the book?" "I'll get it you won't be able to find it." Your ears flicker to her words as you speak up, "Well you should not go back outside if this storm is getting bad." She shakes her head as she walks a little to one side of the room, "I'll just teleport, i'll be right back." Twilight holds a smile as her horn glows a low purple, she’s shrouded in a low aura before shes poofed away in a low chime. Rainbow takes herself off the ground as she talks, "when she gets back tell her to meet us in the town center." You and Rarity nod your heads as Rainbow darts out of the house. Its at this point you notice the light purple filly's horn glowing a low green as she wiggles her hooves to where Twilight once stood. Her mouth quivers a little as the low color starts to brighten a little. Your quick to your hooves as you scoop the filly up, "Oh no you don't, if you're going to do that magic you do it when Twilight's around." Violet's horn stops its glow as you carry her back to your seat. As you do this you look over the small light blue saddle with white puff outline that is strapped around her waist, her hooves are also increased in small fluffy dark purple boots which are happily swaying as her legs dangle under her. As you place the filly on your seat she stands on her hooves still forced between you and where Twilight stood. After a few moments the room takes on a low chime as a low purple light fills the spot Twilight teleported from. The low chime resonates through the room as she appears with a book in her mouth. As the aura around her dissipates Rarity speaks up, "We need to go to the town center." Twilight nods her head as she floats the book from her mouth, "Spike, Sweetie can you watch Violet for a bit?" Before Spike can speak up Sweetie calls out with an excited yes. You follow Twilight and Rarity out of the room in a light gallop as you start your way to the town center. End of chapter 4
