//-------------------------------------------------------// Bubbles - The Adventures -by shoelovesyou- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 2 //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 2 Star Thunder halted in the middle of flying to the top of the nearest cloud, causing one of the mares to ram into her. Star turned over, pulled her from behind and tossed her into the clouds. She kicked the rest of the foalice after her with her strong hind legs, sending them flying across the sky. Hesitant, she flew towards the Everfree Forest. The chirping of crickets buzzed in Star's ears. Then joined in a birdsong, then the beautiful, soft voice of another pony. Star buttoned her trench coat into covering her muzzle. Her black shades covered her sparkly red eyes. "Anypony there?" Star asked, quietly and cautiously. The singing, chirping and birdsong stopped. Star parted a bush then climbed over. At the sight of her, the birds flew off and crickets hid under plants. A pale yellow pony with a magnificent green mane and freckles backed into a bush across from Star. "Did I scare your animals? I'm sorry," Star murmured. "I'm St--" No, stupid, don't blow your cover! You're gonna get caught! Star shouted at herself in her thoughts. "I'm Bubble... Cha... ser..." This was just like the moment that happened a generation ago. The story has been heard plenty of times, by everypony. Twilight Sparkle, a student of Princess Celestia, ordered to make friends. Fluttershy, a shy, yellow pony, with a pink mane. Was Bubbles living that moment, now? "I'm... Lemonade..." the mare said unsteadily, turning to the tree, her pink cape gently flowing in the wind. Star - Bubble, now, looked at Lemonade's cutie mark. A clear gray pitcher full of ice cubes and bright yellow lemonade. Lemonade scattered bird seeds on the dry ground. "So, uh, how'd you get your cutie mark?"  Bubble asked. "Selling drinks is a family tradition. I'm taking care of my friends animals while she's in Cloudsdale," she replied.  "Where are ya from?" Bubble looked at Lemonade. "Canterlot."  "Ponyville. Wanna come see, Bubble? Oh, how about I call you Bubbles?"  Ugh. The last thing I wanted to do is make friends. I'll trust them then tell them my true identity, then they'll betray me. Bubbles thought. "Sure," she said, forcing a smile. Lemonade trotted towards a small town, thankfully, away from the Everfree Forest. A white unicorn with a glossy red mane was walking along, carrying a small basket made of vines, full of gems and ribbons. A pink pegasus with a long, stringy royal purple mane flew next to her, multiple shade, color and patterned fabrics stuffed in her saddlebags. "That's Dream Bolt and Cloud Chaser," Lemonade pointed her hoof at them. "Nice, well, I better get going," Bubbles laughed nervously, ready to dash off. Lemonade grabbed her tail and took her deeper into Ponyville. A hot pink and bright blue pony flew down from Cloudsdale, landing in Sweet Apple Acres. Applejack, tiredly picked up a young filly identical looks to hers. Sweetie Belle put down two white fillies. One with a purple mane, one with a blue mane. Scootaloo sat at a small picnic table, and Apple Bloom, Big Mac, Red Gala and Golden Delicious set the long picnic table. "Oh howdy, Speedy! Comin' for the party? Twinkle Blitz told us all about it," Apple Bloom said to the mare kindly. "Yup! It's been forever since a new pony's been to town," she replied. Dream Bolt pushed a mannequin pony to the scene. A dress had gold laced around the border of the dress. The bottom of the dress was navy blue, the shades getting lighter higher in the dress. Glitter covered the dress, which made it shine in the sunlight.  Bubbles covered the dark shades of blue, them getting smaller in the lighter shades. "You really outdid yourself, Dream Bolt!" Sweetie Belle complimented. "It's beautiful!" Scootaloo said, admiring the dress. "Oh, it's nothing, truly," she laughed. Lemonade walked in with the alicorn at her side. Twinkle Blitz, Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo, Applejack, Big Macintosh, Pinkie Pie, Red Gala, Golden Delicious, Cloud Chaser, and Speedy shouted as loud as they could; "SURPRISE!" Pinkie nudged at Twinkle. Twinkle cleared her throat and went onto the small stage. Twinkle's voice was high pitched, just as her mother's was. It was a song that's lived a surprisingly long time. The words Twinkle sang exploded her Bubbles ears. Welcome welcome welcome A fine welcome to you Welcome welcome welcome I say how do you do? Welcome welcome welcome I say hip hip hurray Welcome welcome welcome to Ponyville today Bubbles stared at them. "This is my welcome party?" Speedy groaned. "As grateful as I am, I cannot stay here in Ponyville," Bubbles sighed. A white alicorn with multicolored hair fluttered onto the ground. The ponies bowed down, but Bubbles stayed right in front of the Princess, eye to sunglasses. She found me. //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 3 //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 3 "Bubbles? Are you o---" were the last words she remembered. Pictures of when she didn't care, when she was with Blade, ran through her mind. But now she did care. By the time she woke up, she would be in her jail cell, with Blade, if he didn't escape by now. In her sleep, she could feel her wings being tied to her back, her magic escaping, a cold stone floor. This what it. Who knew what the foalice would ask her? What if they just threw her in jail? What if--- "Star! Wake up! NOW!" The rough voice was familiar. Her eyes were adjusting to the moonlit sky. It was... Blade! "Don't call me Star! And I thought you fired me!" The words spat out of her mouth without her even thinking about it. "Shut up, and I'll explain on the way." "They found out. After I fired you, I managed to escape the foalice. I was desperate without you. I know this is sappy, but I needed you to help me and protect everything we stole, but all that is gone now." His voice was almost muted by the wind as he flew by the clouds with Star on his back. She could barely make out the words, as they were also thrown in between him gasping for air and his quiet slurs. "And they took it all away and now they're tracking our magic. I took our magic away temporarily and tied you to my back and pray to Celestia that they won't find us." But Star was asleep already. Her soft snores blew by with the wind, which also blew her light purple mane. Blade finally arrived at their safe house all the way in Manehatten and set her down on her new bed, covered in silky violet sheets. "Good night, Thunder." He's here with me. //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 1 //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 1 "Hey, you, get back here, Star Thunder!" a gray stallion in uniform called out. Star didn't even wince as she ran; steadily, smoothly, fast. Her wings propelled her just as if she was flying, just...faster. "This is the foalice! Get back here, you're under arrest!" a mare called out this time. She didn't look back, if she stopped they would catch her, at least now she knew that she has a chance of getting away. She looked over her shoulder, the foalice were after her...if the cops got her, there was no escape, they have a no-magic ward on the jail, and the ceilings are too short... she would be trapped... She didn't realize she was daydreaming until she crashed into a tree and ran through it. Star shuddered, she automatically went through things using her magic, it was a fact, yet, she couldn't get used to the feeling of everything just going through her. Star looked back, they were falling behind. She sighed and disappeared in a whoosh, into her safe house. ~~~ The bright orange unicorn stored his last bag. He sighed. The last bag of money was stored in his safe. The unicorn smiled at his work. He looked at his watch and tapped his hoof on the ground, there should be another delivery coming soon. POOF! There was a bright light, and in stepped Star. She grinned and threw the bag at him. He gasped, he knew SOMEPONY was getting his money, but not HER, she was being chased by the foalice, the cops, and the Equestrian Guard! He was in big trouble now, if they found her, they could find him, and if they found him, they could take all his money! "Thunder! What are you doing! You could get me in BIG trouble!" he yelled as he stomped over. "Re-lax, professor boring, I got your money, and the foal's didn't come." she groaned as she hopped onto the couch and shut her eyes. "Don't you see? They now know how to track magic! If they can find where you teleported they can find me, and if they find me they can find my money!" he spat. She rolled her eyes "just shut up Blade, they won't find us." "Well, if they do or don't, you won't know, YOU'RE FIRED!" he spat as he teleported her out. ~~~ "Fired? He FIRED me? Well, for the love o'--- never mind...I can find somepony else to work for, he won't care." she yelled as she kicked a rock, it hit a foalice mare. She stepped back. The foalice mare looked at her and held out a pistol, while another had hoofcuffs dangle from her mouth. Star flew in a straight line ahead, reaching to the clouds. A few pegasi ponies dashed up to catch her. "Stop, thief! Stop in the name of Celestia! Stop!" the mare yelled, flying up towards her. She flew up as high as she could into the clouds above, she couldn't see anypony, so she hoped that she was in the clear. She wasn't really...
