By the time the two reached Ponyville it was already midday. The town looked to be filled with busy ponies running all over.
“What’s going on?” Onyx asked looking confused at the amount of ponies running around.
“Oh how could I forget it’s the Summer Sun Celebration,” Ghost said shaking his head. He had completely forgotten about the celebration with everything that’s been happening.
Onyx looked at Ghost with a confused look. “What’s that?” she asked tilting her head.
“It’s whe--,” he began when he was interrupted by an air balloon landing right in front of them. And a purple pony hopping out of the basket to greet them.
“Oh hey Ghost what are you doing here?” Twilight asked seeing the guard she knew for years. “Aren’t you supposed to be up in Canterlot helping Princess Celestia?” she asked curiously.
“I forgot about the celebration and Im down here on personal business for a couple days,” he said.
He looked down at Onyx who seemed to be staring off into space again. “Oh and this is Onyx, Celestia wants me to look after her,” he said gesturing to the grey filly.
Twilight looked over at her and then back at Ghost. “I didn’t figure you to be the type to take care of kids,” she said with a sly smirk. “Well if you need a place to stay I’m staying at a library house so both of you can stay,” she said turning around to walk away.
Ghost looked back down at Onyx and pushed to walk in front of him. “What are you doing here yourself Twilight?” he asked curiously.
“Well the princess believed I should make some friends and check on how the preparations for the Summer Sun Celebration are coming,” she said sounding annoyed.
“Well that sounds good for you because you could be somewhat of…an introvert,” he said snickering.
Twilight turned around fiercely and glared at him, “What was that?”
“Oh nothing,” Ghost said quickly. “Anyway keep an eye on Onyx for me while I’m out and let me know how the celebration goes” he said catching up to Twilight.
“How about you just come for a bit it’ll be interesting for Onyx to see” she said smiling. “Especially with her new daddy,” she said teasingly.
Ghost rolled his eyes “fine, Onyx let’s go stay at Twilight’s house for a bit before we go see the Summer Sun Celebration.”
Onyx looked very happy to hear the news. She was so overjoyed that she jumped ontop of Ghost’s head.
Twilight giggled at the sight of the smiling filly on Ghost’s head. “Well let me show the way I suppose and she can play with Spike while we wait for the celebration to start,” she said leading the way. “Oh Ghost I have important research to do on something so you can talk a walk around town later.”
“May I ask on what?” he asked sounding intrigued.
Twilight looked back at him, “well it’s about a mare being trapped in the moon and that in a thousand years she’ll get free.” “Have you heard anything about it?” she asked curiously.
Ghost stiffened and looked away “eh it’s just a legend,” he said not making eye contact.
Twilight narrowed her eyes at him “I see,” she said just as they made it to the house. “Well it’s here you can go walk around now,” she said turning to him. “Be here around dusk so we can go” she dismissingly.
Ghost nodded and looked at Onyx “be good,” he said before turning around to walk off.
