Author's Note: Most of you already know this, but I'm gonna say it anyways. I recently published a story with the originally unreleased clopfics I did on this story. You can check it out right here. Now, on with the story.
"What do you mean, Twilight?" Spike asks her, not getting her meaning.
"It doesn't say exactly where he's going, but knowing him, I can tell he's left to follow Blue, Dash, and Hail to Cloudsdale. And Blue threatened for Dark not to go." she says.
"Aw, that was just Blue joking. You know how he is."
"I don't know, Spike. He sounded pretty serious. And Blue isn't exactly the same to Dark as he is to the rest of us."
"Well, can you blame him? Dark wanted to kill us all. All of us are still a bit peeved with him."
"Well, I guess I can understand that. But Dark I still hope Blue can control himself."
"Aw, I'm sure there's no reason to worry. Blue doesn't have it in him to kill somepony. If he did, he would've killed Dark a long time ago."
Twilight starts smiling. "I guess you're right."
"Glad you finally came to your senses. I'm also glad to have just you back, Twi. Dark can be pretty annoying. Yesterday when I got back was pretty lonely. Owluiscious was here, but..." he turns his head to the owl.
"Hoo." he says.
"Yeah, he's not very good for conversation."
Twilight walks over and hugs Spike. "I'm glad to be back too. And I'm sure Dark will be just fine."
She is talking about the same Dark we know, right?
Back over to us
We were still leisurely flying to Cloudsdale, getting pretty close at this point. Cloudsdale wasn't a long fly from Ponyville, so going to and from each was easy for someone who could fly.
As we flew, I just flew upside-down on my back and held my forelegs behind my head for support. Flying around is pretty relaxing.
As we flew, I couldn't help but feel something odd. "Hmm..."
"What is it, Blue?" Haily asks.
"Do either of you two feel like we're being followed?"
"Nope."
"Nuh uh."
"Hmm, I just can't shake the feeling." I look to see a black dot off in the distance, but it quickly goes inside of some clouds before I can get a good look at it. I shrug. "Must just be a bird."
"You're losing it, Blue." Dash says.
"Can you really blame me with all the syuff that happens around us?"
"Guess I can't. We've always had weird stuff going on in Ponyville, but it seems to have gone up since you moved there."
"Yeah, and I thought things were weird during Blue's high school years." Haily says.
"Maybe if we're lucky we'll run into some of my old friends while we're there."
"More friends?"
"Yep."
"Then why did we only meet up with Zephyr and Drax at the reunion?"
" I duon't know. Maybe the others were busy. Speaking of which, why weren't you there, Haily?"
"I just decided not to go. Real busy with studies when I got the letter."
"Yeah, thank Mr. Charge for giving us such a short notice."
She shivers. "It even scares me just to remember him."
"What are you so scared of? He never hit mares."
"That doesn't mean he still wasn't scary."
"Yeah, he even gave me the creeps." Dash says.
"Hmm, good point."
"Hey! I think I can see Cloudsdale!" Dash shouts, pointing off in the distance.
"Yeah, I see it too." Haily says.
"Well, that was fast." I say.
We descend as we approach the floating city of clouds and land on the ground with a puff. I take a look around the town, soaking it back in. Everything is still just as I remember it. Cloud buildings with pillars like the ancient Preeks used. Cloud walkways on individual clouds they're on and many seperate clouds with many seperate collections of buildings. It's nice, but I prefer the more down to earth, quite literally, feel of Ponyville.
"Well, lead the way." Dash says, motioning for us to go first.
We begin walking as we try to find our house, the same one we've lived in since even before I was born. You see, there are different types of clouds, even some specially made to last decades like ones used in construction. They're made by*goes through the entire complicated progress on making clouds*. Got all that? Good, because I'm not saying it again.
As we walk, we go by one place I was hoping to avoid: the neighborhood's crankly old lady's, Mrs. Not"s, house. My entire life living in Cloudsdale that mare has been nothing nothing but a bitter old bat.
She is sitting in her normal spot: her rocking chair on her front porch. She always sat there to keep anypony from even getting close to her house.
"Oh no. I was hoping you'd stay gone!" she shouts at us.
I sigh in exasperration. "Hey there, Mrs. Not. Long time no see." I say.
"Not long enough! Things have gotten so much quieter since you and Rainbow Dadh left, Blue Breeze! It got even better once you took those brats, Zephyr and Drax, with you! Can't you just go away so I can go back to being in peace?!"
"You think I wanna stay here with you any longer?"
"Get outta here!" she shouts, pointing away from her house.
We all roll our eyes as we start walking again. "Ugh, I hate her."Dash says.
"She give you trouble too?" I ask her.
"Yeah, she especially has a grudge against me for that one time I crashed a hole in her roof."
"That was you? Bwahahaha! That was hilarious to hear about!"
"Yeah, it was worth the twisted ankle I got from the crash just to get her mad like that. Her face was so red."
All of us share a laugh as we walk. After a bit, we stop as we come up to our house. "Well, here it is." Haily says. "They're gonna be so surprised to see you both."
We walk up to the house as Dash and I decide to hide at first. Haily knocks on the front door.
The door is opened by our mother, Raindrop.
"Haily! It's so good to see you, sweetie." she says.
"Hey, mom. Glad to see you too."
Just then our father, Thundercloud, walks up to the front door.
"Hey, kiddo." he says. "How was the trip?"
"It was fun."
"Is Blue doing all right?" Raindrop asks.
"Why don't you ask him yourself?" Haily replies, motioning to Dash and I as we pop out.
My parents gasp as the see me in pony for the first time in months. "Hey, mom. Hey, dad." I say.
"Blue!" they both say as they pull me into a hug.
"Oh, I've missed you so much, honey." my mom says.
"I've missed you too, bud." my dad says.
I smile as I return thr hug. "I've missed you both too." we break the hug as Iook back at Dash. "Dash, meet my parents, Raindrop and Thundercloud."
"Nice to finally meet you both." she says.
"Mom and dad, meet my marefriend, Rainbow Dash."
"Marefriend?! Blue, that's wonderful." my mom says. She was always pushing me to get a girl.
"Good going, Blue. It's about time." my dad says. He was never as pushy about it, but he did always think me getting a marefriend would be nice. "Come on in and tell us all about it."
We all go inside as a certain black and red pegasus watches us from above, rubbing his hooves together. "This is gonna be fun."
