Chapter 19: Flashy Entrance Achieved

“Huh. That’s weird.” Pinkie said as her tail began twitching side to side.

“What does side to side twitching mean Pinkie?” Twilight asked.

“Hmm…If I remember right, my tail swishing side to side means ‘an old friend coming to visit’, but my twitchy tail means ‘falling objects’, so I guess it means ‘old friend falling in for a visit.’” Pinkie replied.

Twilight chuckled at Pinkie’s nonsense of that prediction.

“Oh Pinkie. I may believe in your Pinkie Sense now, but how could an old friend be ‘falling in for a visit’?” Twilight asked.

Instead of replying, Pinkie looked up and pointed at something.

“Ohhhh Loooke lookie Twilight!”

Twilight looked up and saw a thundercloud seemingly falling from the sky and stop just above the center of the town square. While fascinating all the same, Twilight was more interested in getting an answer from Pinkie. As she started to open her mouth to ask again though, she saw something that defied even what she now believed in with Pinkie Sense.

A Jetstream had formed just above the cloud, which descended rapidly and parted the cloud, leaving trails of sparks everywhere as a loud thud emanated from the ground just below where the cloud had been moments before. Twilight looked again and was shocked to see a Pegasus Pony standing where the thud had emanated.

This particular Pegasus looked nothing like any Twilight had ever seen in Canterlot or Ponyville. She knew he was wearing a suit and that couldn’t be his true coat colour, but even the Royal Canterlot Guards had never worn an outfit like that before. Twilight tried her best to remember where she had seen an outfit like that before. And then it hit her. It was a Wonderbolt suit. A Wonderbolt, one of Rainbow Dash’s idols, was standing a few feet from her, looking as though what he had just done was as natural as brushing your mane. She then saw the Wonderbolt, whose name she did not know or care to guess, turn his head and look directly at them.

He then proceeded to walk over towards them. Once he was within a few feet of them, Twilight realized just how huge he was. He was easily twice her height, maybe even being taller than Big Macintosh. He smiled at her, convincing her that he was a gentle giant, and then turned to Pinkie to address her like an old friend.

“Hey there Pinkie Pie. Long-time no see. You wouldn’t happen to know who I could ask to throw a ‘Welcome-back-Breeze-Rider-to-Ponyville-to-visit-for-2-weeks’ party would you?” He asked, seemingly already knowing Pinkie’s response to that question.
