Chapter 24: The Start of the Journey

“Okay Applejack where’s the first stop” I ask
“I was wondering that as well” suggest Rainbow Dash
“Are yawl already complaining” says Applejack, stopping in her place before giving a annoyed stare at me and Dash, “Cause if so, yawl better run along back home”
“I’m not complaining” says Dash, “You complaining Shadow”
“Nope just wondering where we are going to stop for the night” I say looking back at Applejack with a smile
“Well if we are lucky we should reach the village of Cairncross by nightfall” smiles Applejack, “So yawl better keep up the pace if we’re going to reach Cairncross by tonight”
“Sure thing” I say while doing a mock march,
“You heard the filly...Time to move out” I say pointing down the road
“I...I captain” Laughs Vinyl
“Hey Shadow, where you get that jacket” asks Dash inspecting the coolness of it
“Rarity made it for me…she went snooping around through my private stuff and found it and she ended up making it for me…It’s pretty cool hey” I say doing a little twirl like a school girl
“Yeah I like the detail down the side of the legs” replies Dash, “It looks similar to the style of your cutie mark”
“I prefer the large cross on the back embed with the small diamonds” says Vinyl Scratch as if she just noticed the jacket
“Yeah the diamonds prove Rarity made it” I smile
“Yeah yawl should know how much that filly loves her diamonds” laughs Applejack, “Im surprised that she let you take that on are adventure…cause of the way she is with mud and all”
“Yeah me too, but she said” I say getting into a Rarity pose and readying up the accent, “hmmm… I’m willing to take a risk with you not ruining the jacket plus I made this Jacket for you and what good is it if you never wear it”
“Hahaha” Giggles Applejack and Dash while Vinyl has a blank look on her face.
We continue walking until we notice a pony setting up a small tent
“Hello there young travelers” says the pony
She had a purple mane with beads plated through her hair and a dark grey coat with a crystal ball as a cutie mark
“Um Hi” I say
“What brings you all out this way young travellers” says the Pony sitting down in front of the crystal ball on the table in the center of the tent
“Well we all just are passing through to New Yorke” smiles Applejack
“Ha…well you must have your work cut out for you Applejack…leading all these ponies to New Yorke” Says the mystical pony
“Hey how’d yawl no my name” says Applejack in shock
“I know all your names…Over there is Vinyl Scratch” says the mystical pony pointing at Vinyl
“No surprise there” laughs Vinyl, “Everypony knows my name”
“Well…The Rainbow manned pony over there’s name is Rainbow Dash” she says pointing at Rainbow Dash, who was leaning up against a post that was holding up the tent
“Yeah everyone knows the fastest pony in PonyVille” sighs Dash like she’s heard it a thousand times by now
“And you sir a called Shadow…and you’re going to New Yorke to pick up a dress for your fiancé
“Okay Lady…how do you know all this about me and my friends” I say placing my fore hooves on the table
“Stop dirtying my table and sit, and I will tell you”
I sit down in front of the pony with the crystal ball and hear Applejack say
“Hey, I don’t mean to interrupt what yawls are doing but there ain’t enough seats for us to sit on”
“well I guess you have to options” says the gypse pony
“And what would they be” blurts Rainbow Dash
“You can ether stand or you can sit on the ground” smiles the gypse pony, “Okay Shadow, my name is fantasia and im here to tell you what lies within your life in Equestria”
“Im guessing your going to do your hokey pokey stuff and see if all the cards will plan uout to be right…Well I’ve got some news for you I don’t believe in any of this rubbish so im leaving” I say getting up of the seat and leaving with the other Ponies
“So be it but if you don’t wanna know what will happen to the one you call Rarity….” She says standing up out of her chair.
