Cliffhangers

.... OR WAS IT


As Twilight careened down the cliff side, she began to scream. The sheer force of the fall made tears well in her eyes and stream out rapidly. This was all to be expected from jumping off of a massive cliff. The smile growing on her terrified face, however, was not.

Her heart was racing as she looked down to see the ground approaching rapidly. Ponyville was also getting bigger, and the dots began growing forms. Twilight stopped screaming and began laughing wildly as she tumbled in the air.
So this is what Rainbow Dash felt like doing her tricks! Twilight couldn’t get enough of the feeling of the wind blowing against her mane. The ground was closer now. The trees had formed and she was only a second or two from crashing into the dirt.

Sproiiiiing!!!!!!!

Twilight bounced off the trampoline she had placed on the ground and rocketed toward Ponyville. She was afraid on the cliff that she had messed up her math when plotting the drag of the wind. Luckily, she didn’t. Being an “egghead” had its advantages after all.

As she flew through the air, she spotted Rainbow Dash lying on a cloud. Twilight gave her a large smile and waved at her. Rainbow Dash looked up with awe and confusion as she accidently fell from the cloud and onto an apple tree, knocking apples onto Applejack.

Twilight laughed hard at the sight, as she continued sailing by the town. The ponies below her were looking up at her flying by and pointed in wonder. It didn’t matter how, but she was getting her recognition and popularity somehow!

“PINKIE PIE! Stop it this instant!” Rarity shouted at her pink friend. Pinkie continued hopping around the white mare’s shop with her muddy hooves, blissfully unaware of the mess she was making. She was rambling on about a new cupcake recipe. Something that Rainbow Dash was going to have to help her with or something. When out of the blue a purple blur passed by the window.

Pinkie squealed in delight and confusion and dashed outside, Rarity trailing behind her, still enraged by the mess Pinkie made. Pinkie stared into the sky and saw Twilight Sparkle flying by, laughing and waving.

“Pinkie, what have I told you about bringing muddy hooves into my work room! You know…” Rarity began but stopped suddenly as she too saw the purple unicorn in the air getting smaller and smaller as she continued her (abnormally long due to plot points) journey across the sky. Pinkie Pie dashed off suddenly screaming about throwing a party first and then making her new cupcakes.

Twilight was now beginning to descend and was coming up to the edge of the Everfree Forrest where Fluttershy lived. She could see the quiet mare talking to Angel with an innocent look on her face. Twilight yelled out to her a greeting to which Fluttershy squeeked out in surprise and fled into her cottage. Angel, however, gave a small wave.

It was clear to Twilight now that the author of the story was making her flight last way to long so she use her magic to descend at a quicker rate. She began to plummet toward the ground again, this time with no smile. She was afraid, and rightfully so. The ground grew closer and closer until she landed safely upon a heap of mattresses and other soft things she also had set up. Her smile returned and it was clear to her that her wish to become adventurous did come true.

Whoopie. What an egghead.
