"Stop-stop," I quietly cry to Scootaloo. "That tickles, stop!"
"Ok, ok." says Scootaloo with a smirk, finally ending her tickle attack.
"Besides, we need to keep moving." I say as my stifled laughing is subsiding.
"Of course, let's get moving again then." She says, chuckling

"We need to leave the missions behind, Thunder Flash." says the hooded Mare.
"I know, Shadow Shade, we need to be there for Shadow Flash, he's our son." says the hooded stallion.
"Maybe someday..." they sigh in unison.

Scootaloo and I follow close behind my parents in the bushes. We're about twenty yards behind my parents, at most. We make sure not to fall behind too far and at the same time made sure we didn't get too close either.
"C'mon Scootaloo, we're doing good!" I cheer Scootaloo on quietly, when all of sudden I was surprised by a voice.
"Indeed we are, Shadow Flash." says said voice, startling me and Scootaloo to a sudden halt. I turn around to a hooded figure wearing a similar outfit to my parents' standing in the bushes with me and Scootaloo.
"W-who are y-you?" I barely stutter out.
"I am a co-worker of your father and mother, they do not know you're here yet, but I bet they would rather they did." says the hooded mare.
"We're not coming with you until you show yourself!" Scootaloo whispers forcefully, I'm taken aback by her commanding tone.
The mare then takes her hood off and looks me dead in the eye. Her eyes, beautiful, violet irises, are full of tears.
"Oh my Celestia... Octavia..." I say, my muzzle falling wide open.
I'm instantly embraced by the mare who's now stifling her crying. I'm still in shock, my muzzle shut already, but I'm still in shock. I hadn't seen Octavia in ten years, ten! I was nine the last time I saw her.
"I'm so sorry I left... I never intended to be gone for so long... never again..." says Octavia apologetically.
I then break down, letting out every tear I held in for ten years over missing her. Tears poured down my muzzle as I wept, many years of being solid as a rock with my emotions and then I broke down in "ten seconds flat" as Rainbow Dash would say. Scootaloo then wraps her forelegs around me and pecks my cheek softly in hopes to comfort me.

"So you're an assassin and you're held by a pact called a "creed" made by the ancestors of your assassin guild which has a code to destroy a society known as Templars?" I say trying to digest all the information just thrown at me. I had just been told that Octavia had to leave when she and I were nine because she was born into the Assassin's Creed in which caused her to have to leave to take a test to prove herself, she had been to Manehatten, Las Pegasus, Fillywood, Fillydelphia, Hoofington, Hoofington D.C., Appleloosa, Canterlot, Calcolta, Saddle Arabia, Mane, the Crystal Empire, Gryphondor, and Normanedy! She came from Ponyville and went to all of these different locations in Amareica and around Equis, who would have suspected? I surely was clueless, luckily I wasn't soaking wet too.
"Indeed, Shadow Flash, I didn't want to leave you, but i did however want to take the test to get into the Creed." said Octavia sadly.
"I loved you, Octavia, but... now i have somepony else to love, if Scoots wasn't here then I might consider going out with you again, but things have changed, I only met Scootaloo a year ago, that's how long I hoped you'd come back... but you never did." I said, almost bursting in tears, yet another time.
I then turn to look across the street for Soarin and see him sitting in the bush exactly across from us, he's talking to somepony, I then angle my head to the right, and in the same bush as Soarin, I see, clad in the same clothing as my parents and Octavia, my idol...
