Chapter 10: Rain, Rain, Go Away

The clouds outside were a dark ominous grey, every so often there would be a strike
of lightning and a crack of thunder. The rain pounded harshly against the windows and
the group of ponies were sitting or laying around the living area, trying to think of
something to do. Any ideas that were suggested were quickly shot down, but then
Scootaloo got an idea.


"How about we tell you some stories about what has happened in Equestria these past
few years?" Scootaloo suggested, "I mean, Twilight and her friends have had some pretty
awesome adventures".

"Sure, sounds like a good idea" Kenji replied.

Scootaloo looked at her friends, "How about we start with Nightmare Moon's return?".

"That's a great one!" Apple Bloom responded.

"Alright, let's start from the beginning" Scootaloo then cleared her throat "It all
started in Canterlot and Twilight was reading a book.."

"There's a surprise" Iketani muttered sarcastically.

Scootaloo ignored that and continued, "She got to a part about the legend of The Mare
in The Moon, she then tried to warn Princess Celestia about it, but she thought
Twilight was getting all worked up about nothing, so she sent Twilight here to Ponyville
to see how things were coming for the upcoming Summer Sun Celebration" she
took a breath "but Twilight was convinced that Nightmare Moon was returning that night,
so she tried to get through checking all the preparations as quickly as possible. Then
early the next morning when the sun was supposed to be coming up, the legendary Mare
in the Moon appeared and threatened to make cause Eternal Night, and Twilight went
on a quest to find the only thing that could stop her, The Elements of Harmony!".

Apple Bloom then spoke up "My sister and her friends went into the Everfree Forest
to find them, it seemed that each one of them had to pass some sort
of test to prove their Element".

Scootaloo nodded "Yeah, and when they finally got to the Castle of the Two Sisters,
Twilight tried to make the Elements activate, but had no luck" she continued "But
when Twilight was in trouble, she realized something, she was happy to hear the others and that
she knew where the real Elements were, so they were able to stop Nightmare Moon and bring back
Equestria's second Princess, Luna, ruler of the night!".

"Wow, that is so cool!" Itsuki said "They're awesome!".

"I know right?" Scootaloo responded "Want to hear another one?".

"YES!" Itsuki nearly shouted.

Scootaloo then told them the tales of the Elements of Harmony, about when they defeated
Discord, how Twilight's brother Shining Armor and his then wife-to-be Princess Cadence,
defeated Queen Chrysalis, right before their wedding, how Spike and
Cadence saved the Crystal Empire from Sombra, about Twilight and her friends defeating
Tirek, about returning the Cutie Marks to the ponies in Starlight's village and when
Starlight returned for revenge and took Twilight on a trip through time and last but
not least, earlier this year when Flurry Heart shattered the Crystal Heart and
nearly doomed the Empire to be buried in a pile of snow. The guys seemed to be surprised
and very impressed by what those six mares have done.

"That is so amazing!" Itsuki said about all the stories "The six of them are so cool".


"And I'm proud to say my big sis is among them!" Apple Bloom added holding her head
up high.

"Me too!" Sweetie Belle chimed in happily.

"While she may not really be my sister" Scootaloo told them "I'm proud to say Rainbow
Dash is my honorary big sister".

"Hey, since you've told us stories about your friends, how about I tell you about
my best friend?" Itsuki suggested.

"Yeah!" The Crusaders answered in unison.

Itsuki tapped his hoof against his chin, trying to think of the perfect one to start
with, then he thought of it.

"I'm going to tell you about the first time I saw Takumi drift race" Itsuki told
them.

The Crusaders gathered around him, eager to hear this tale.


After awhile, Itsuki had told them a number of stories and was just finishing up the
current one he was telling.


"And that's how Takumi beat 'Akagi's White Comet', the legendary and at the time
undefeated Ryosuke Takahashi!" Itsuki told them.

"Woooow" The Crusaders said in unison sounding awestruck, smiles on all their faces.


"I know, right?" Itsuki added "Isn't Takumi just the coolest?".

"Drift racing sounds like flying" Scootaloo said "I wish I could go Drifting".

"Me too!" Apple Bloom replied.

"Me Three!" Sweetie Belle chimed in.

"Maybe if we can go back and if you can come to our world, we could take you on a
run" Itsuki suggested.

"That would be so cool!" Apple Bloom responded.

"What do you think, guys?" Itsuki asked "Do you think we could do that?".

Takumi, Iketani and Kenji nodded their heads in reply.

"YAY!" The Crusaders said together happily.

"So, how has the 'How to be a Pony' training coming?" Apple Bloom asked "I kinda
know how Takumi's has been going, but what about you guys?".

"They've been going good" Iketani answered "Twilight's a great teacher".

"So is Rainbow Dash" Itsuki added "She says I've really been improving".

"Which means that he doesn't crash as much" Kenji said with a slight smirk.

Everypony in the room burst out laughing at that remark.

"I wish I could join you and Rainbow Dash flying" Scootaloo told them "It sounds like
you have fun".

"Why can't you?" Kenji asked "Haven't learned yet? I'm sure if that's the case,
Rainbow would let you join us or I could help you if you'd like".

"That's not it" Scootaloo explained then she let out a sad sigh, "I can't fly,
my wings are too small to get me into the air, so I just use my scooter to go from
place to place".

"So, you've never been flying?" Iketani asked her.

"No" Scootaloo answered, tearing up a little, "The closest I've gotten is Rainbow
either holding me or letting me ride on her back".

Iketani thought about something for a moment, then he walked over to Scootaloo.

"I know it's not much different to being held up" Iketani told her "But I have a way
for you to fly" he looked at her "How much do you trust me?".

Scootaloo looked at him with a flicker of hope in her eyes "I trust you a lot".

"Alright, just give me a moment" Iketani said, then he began to focus and then
Scootaloo began to float a few inches off the ground "Are you ready?" he asked her.

"Ready!" Scootaloo replied, then Iketani lifted her higher and higher off the ground,
once she was near the castle's ceiling, he started to gently move her about, making
Scootaloo giggle happily. "This is soo cool!" She exclaimed.

"I'm glad you having fun!" Iketani replied with a huge grin, he was very happy seeing
Scootaloo having so much fun. A few minutes later Iketani slowly lowered her back to
the ground, her hooves touched the ground lightly, she then looked at Iketani with
the biggest grin ever.

"Thank you soo much, Iketani!" She told him excitedly, she then galloped over to him
and wrapped her hooves around him.

"It was no problem at all, Scootaloo" Iketani responded, returning her hug.

"AWWWWWWWWWWWWW" All the ponies in the room said together.

A few moments later, everypony was sitting around trying to plan what to do next.



Several hours later, the castle's front doors opened up, revealing six mares and one
dragon.

"We're home guys!" Twilight called out and the seven of them walked over to the door
that led to the living area, Twilight opened it slowly and let out a soft gasp.

In the room, there were ponies that were sound asleep all over, Takumi was asleep on
a chair, Itsuki and Kenji were both asleep on opposite ends of the couch, Apple Bloom
and Sweetie Belle were on the floor and Scootaloo was snuggled up with Iketani on
a smaller couch.

"AWWWWWWWWWWWWW" They all said at once.

"Let's go to into the bedrooms, quietly" Twilight told her friends "I don't want to
wake them up" then she got an idea, she carefully pulled out a camera from her
saddlebags and took a few pictures of the scene then she put it back "Now, let's go
to bed everypony, I'm very tired".

The seven of them quietly headed to the bedrooms Twilight had made up just in case
her friends needed or wanted to spend the night.





The next morning, the ponies were all having breakfast together and the Crusaders
were filling them in on the past weekend.

"It sounds like you had a great time together" Twilight said to them, "But you never
really explained how you guys escaped the timberwolves so easily"

"Oh yeah, Iketani teleported us away from them" Scootaloo told her casually "It was
awesome!".

Twilight had chosen that moment to take a sip of her tea, which she quickly spat out.

"WHAT?!?!" Twilight shouted in shock.
