                 The late night air was cool, and crisp, a hummingbird flew over to a flower blooming from the soil by Surgarcube Corner, Princess Twilight's castle didn't seem to be active either.

*Back at Mist's household*
Mist Dasher had finally gotten his clock to shut down so he was in bed. Through the open door a gray figure walked by it, his hoofsteps quiet on the carpet. He looked inside his brother's room to make sure he wasn't awake.
"I'm sorry brother, but this is my choice." He whispered heading down the hallway to his bedroom. He walked by horseshoe boxes that were filled with comic books, and then a shelf filled with videogame magazines, and game cases, underneath those were some gaming systems and controllers. He made his way up to a desk that had pieces of paper with notes scribbled down on them, some had been tied together with strings. He picked up his quill and dipped it in an inkwell and he began writing.
 "Dear Mist, by the time you read this I'll be long gone, you didn't know this, but I need to find something, something important.  Whatever you do, don't try to stop me, I need to do this myself. Goodbye brother, I'll see you again." He grabbed his saddlebag, filled with supplies.
He folded the paper and placed it on his bed before opening up the window, allowing the night breeze to blow into his room, preparing himself for the oncoming journey ahead of him.
He finally opened up his wings before jumping out the window, he flew toward a cloud in the sky before landing on a cloud, he looked around to make sure no pony saw him. Turbo leaned toward the edge of the cloud and kicked off opening his wings again, he silently disappeared into the night.
Turbo stopped dead in his tracks. 'I can't believe I'm doing this, I hope Mist will be okay.' 
He tried flying again, to his surprise it felt like he was encased in cement, keeping him from flying.
He struggled with his flight for awhile. His nervousness had left him unable to move forward, after a few tries with flying forward, he started to move.
Slowly but surely, he was moving. His pace started to pick up until he had to squint his eyes to be able to see. After flying for about ten minutes, he looked done to see the tops of trees, he turned around in his flight to see some tiny lights in the distance, his hometown was now out of sight, all he could see was Canterlot in the distance. 
"I'm sorry Mist, but I'm not dying alone!" He turned around and zoomed away. Turbo's journey, had just begun.
