//------------------------------// // Chapter 6 Light fall // Story: Oblivions Mark // by Dj Star Flight //------------------------------// Michael kept a steady pace as to make sure his passenger did not fly off due to the g-forces in the air rushing past them. He glanced every so often at Applebloom to make sure she was still holding on and each time he would always see the happy, excited face looking all around in the air. He then noticed a rainbow blur shoot by in front of him and level off next to him. "Heya Rainbow. What cha up to?" Applebloom said from his shoulder as he turned his head to see her there. "I was about to ask yah the same thing. Michael you taking the squirt for a ride?" Rainbow asked keeping pace with him. "In a sense. I'm heading over to Rarities to drop Applebloom off and to see if she completed my new attire yet. I went by earlier to ask for a design for some new cloths to be made and asked her to deliver it to Twi's. But i decided to get it early. The anticipation was killing me." Michael explained as he saw the boutique coming up. "That's cool. I'll join yah. I wanna see what she made for you as well." Rainbow said as Michael started moving down to the ground. Rainbow landed first as Michael followed. "Ok Applebloom your off first." He said as he took her with both hands unlatching her from the wire and setting her on the ground as he hopped off himself folding the board back up. "Never get used to that." He said as he noticed how jittery Applebloom was. "Oh wow wait till i tell Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo about this. They will be so jealous." She said as she ran inside the boutique with inhuman speed. Michael blinked at that and shook his head. He followed her in with Rainbow dash in tow. He noticed the place hadn't even changed from when he was last in there save for a few ribbons and cloths hanging around and Rarity at the sewing table. "Yo rarity." He said catching her attention. she turned to see him there and smiled. "Oh welcome back Michael and the same to you Rainbow dash. Good i just finished with the final piece of your outfit. I thought you wanted me to take it over to Twilight's. Change your mind?" He just nodded as she smiled and brought the outfit over to him as he took hold of it looking it over in awe. "Wow...It looks just like what i envisioned. I must say you are a goddess with the needlework Miss Rarity." He said with a grin as she blushed at the comment. "Why thank you Michael. I hope you like it. Would you like the try it on?" She asked. "Ah no i think i'll save it as a surprise for the party." He said. "Aw man i wanted to see it." Rainbow interjected as Michael turned to her. "Well to bad Dash you'll have to wait like everyone else. Trust me this will look awesome." He said as he folded the cloths up just as he heard the sound of hoofs trotting up toward him. He turned to see Applebloom and another little filly who kinda looked like Rarity. "Let me guess....Sweetie belle?" He asked in wonder as the little filly smiled. "Why yes that's my name mister. But how did you know?" She asked. Cuteness level overload. Warning. "A lucky guess. You look like a Sweetie to me." Smooth move genius. That just cause the filly the blush. "Why thank you mister. So your the human Applebloom told me about....your reeeeealy tall." She said "Sweetie belle that's rude. Sorry about my little sister Michael." Rarity said looking between them. Michael just laughed at her comment waving his hand. "Its quiet alright. I know my own height compared to all of the ponies around me. Pleasure to meet you sweetie belle." He said with a smile as he looked outside and noticed it was getting dark. "Hmm it seems i have overstayed my visit. I apologize Miss Rarity but i must take my leave. Twilight should be back from Canterlot by now and if she is i don't want to worry her." He explained. Rarity only nodded with a smile. "Well then i won't keep you. I hope to see you again in the near future Michael. You are always welcome here as a friend." she said as he made a little bow and walked out with Rainbow following after him. They had decided to walk back to the library instead of flying so Michael could stretch his legs. "Well aren't you the smooth talker." Rainbow said with a sly grin. "Well of course. My grandparents had to beat the manners into me each time i was at there house. Contrary to popular believe i used to be quiet the rebel back home. Always getting into trouble after my parents passed away. I was picked on a lot back home due to my attitude and got into a lot of fights. Needless to say i won each one." He said. "Wow. Wait you fought?" "Yeh. Had to. Each fight always he me backed into a corner with no hope of escape. But that was always my advantage. I learned since then to always be prepared for anything and always stay alert. My grandparents whom i was staying with at the time always wanted a better life for me and were always trying to teach me proper manners and etiquette. They would always drag me to there formal events because they were always trying to get me...as they would call it, A nice lady friend. Needless to say there efforts failed....not because of me but mostly no girl found me interesting." "Really? How can a girl not find you interesting. You built that awesome glider and your personality is like...whats the word...pretty cool." Rainbow said with a grin. Michael glanced at her before looking back ahead. "You may say that now but back home most of the girls i knew didn't ever see that in me. I won't go into details but they always saw me as the tough geek. That was when i started writing fan fics. Story's based off T.V. Shows. Like writing up an alternate scene in a play like what would happen....that's how i found my self here...I think." He said with a sigh. "Wow....and i thought my life was tough." Rainbow said looking down a bit. "Hey don't you worry none about me. I got over that awhile ago....but thanks for listening...i need to get that off my chest for awhile now." He said with a grin as she smiled back. They kept on walking as night fell upon Ponyville and Luna looked down on the human in wonder. "Little human...i do so wonder about you." She said to herself as she took off from the cloud she was on and into the night sky.
