JetStream Origins-Chapter 1

Chapter 1: A stained mishap

"Alright, I don't mind. I-If it's okay with your mother too!" JetStream looked back to his dad before he walked out the door.

"Don't worry, I already asked." His Father nodded.

"Alright." And then JetStream galloped out the door, then suddenly, "But don't go too far!" JetStream back at him.

"You know I wont!" As he headed off to a certain part of town. Passing blue and white stone buildings, the blue sky, and the green trees and grass that surrounded the city was the colors of peace. The city is pretty bright due to the light reflection of the sun.

It is four years later, 2004. And JetStream decided to pick up a sense of adventure... inside the city, going out would get him into trouble, but you probably already knew that. The city, some call a town, is quite big. The town was built on a huge island that is segregated from the main-land of Equestria. It is connected by a bridge that has a ocean below that dives 15 to 25 feet. The bridge was checked every ten years to ensure safety. JetStream, only being quite new to the town, had a path that caught his eye when his parents and him moved to this town almost a year ago. He thought of going to this same path, he knew he had an advantage when it came to the top part of the city, the top or the western part of it was elevated by 15 feet as soon as you were over here. You could see almost everything, If only that tower in the middle of the city wasn't there. The tower had a golden bell on the top, but he hasn't heard it ring yet. After minutes of walking left and right, with more lefts. He saw what he had seen in his memory, a long path that connects other paths that are mandatory for the city navigation, and tourists.
'Whatever Tourists are though.' JetStream thought. This path was beautiful, it was near the edge of a drop off of a hill, so he could get a near perfect view of the city. It was moderately populated by trees, so it gave a cool look at a certain time of the day, especially in the afternoon. And the path is a mile and a half long. And the ambience is blissful, birds chirping, the calm wind, and bushes and leaves rustling a reply. The side of the path was almost on the outside of town. Everything was mentally peaceful, until JetStream got an idea, "What if I got a quick trot down this road?" he asked himself scratching his chin. The longer he looked down the path, the more his heart raced, it was practically calling his name. Then, without warning, a sudden mix blue and purple was running as fast he could. He could feel it the speed the wind in your face, the sun fading swiftly as it passed above the leaves of the trees. It felt like he could do so much better, and adding to it, there were gasps as he passed other houses. He knew that he'll be able to go so fast that he, "That I'd be able to..." thought this through for a moment, but before he could finish, he heard voices, about three of them, JetStream started to panic, "I could but, that would take a long time to...!" the three voices turned into physical ponies, JetStream noticing this, he struggled to keep his balance, "Wait, the guard rail... I'll jump on that." what's speed without a fast stimulus? One of the three took noticed and got the bigger ones attention.

"Mommy, look!" pointing to the approaching colt. Her eyes widened.

"Oh no! Watch out, come on!" pushing back to where they were. And JetStream reacted as soon as he could, only mere feet away, JetStream jumped onto the guard rail on the side of the path, but the rail was only eight inches wide.

"Keep your balance, keep it, Keep It!" and it seemed fine, JetStream was keeping his eyes on the rail and to the space ahead of him, but as soon as he looked to the right, he slipped left, "No, nonononon-... Ah!" the only thing at his mercy is a slightly steep hill. He slid for a good two minutes before the tumbling stopped. He didn't want to examine himself but he did anyway without thinking, bruises and grass stained fur all over. "Oh no! How am I going to get back home now?!" he looked back to where he slipped from, it looked more than looking down. He soon got up and started walking around, and thought about what he just did, yeah he almost injured a couple ponies, he felt very guilty of that, but, "That feeling of speed I had back there" he looked to the hill and back to where he decided to go, "... Is that my talent?" after that he just started off in that direction, but before he could get into anymore thought, he noticed the formation of houses, "Oh, oh! Thank my luck!" he saw his home, the only difference is a bigger backyard. And as soon as he started trotting, a sudden pain in his back left leg emerged, "Thank my karma." JetStream muttered, with little disappointment, he's glad this is over for now. And it's the most he has hurt himself, but why would he keep track of that? Other words, He could still walk, just not any faster without limping. "I'm home" is going to mean something different this time around.

JetStream Origins-Chapter 2

Chapter 2: Being noted

JetStream sitting humming a certain theme, his horrible mistake has healed, and so has everything else. Now three months later, watching the clouds role by, knowing they are free to travel where ever they want to. Suddenly he heard his front door open, he quickly stood up and peered through the window in the back door, it was a mail-stal. He was giving JetStream's Mom a message, she mutely thanked the messenger and he was off to what seemed other houses in this town. And soon she went to the main room and uncurled the letter, and it looked like she put interest in it. Soon after, she started to the back door, JetStream panicked, and decided to sit where and how he was. Suddenly the door slowly swung open.

"JetStream?" she pondered.

"Hmm, yeah."

"I just got a letter that involves, something you might like." JetStream suddenly stood up.

"Okay then, what is it Mom?" JetStream was actually wondering what it might be. She showed the letter she received.

"It describes an event that you'll probably enjoy... a Fun-Run." She kept a smile.

'That will be great galloping practice.' JetStream nodded, "I'd love to." She giggled.

"I thought so, here go ahead and read it." she went to hoof it to JetStream.

Dear citizens of Altamare:

We are happily inviting you to our wonderful annual Fun-Run, it will take place next to the river that flows down here from Mount. Notia. The route extends from here, Altamare, to the glorious city of Canterlot! We hope to see you all there!

Sincerely,

The SENLR Organization

"What's Canterlot?" JetStream asked right away.

"It's a city that's hooked to the side of a Mountain. It's where the most famous and elegant of ponies go to strut their stuff. And, it's most known due to the Princess of Equestria, Celestia, is there." her eyes started sparkling. JetStream gave an interested laugh.

"Heh, awesome. I would love to see it." He was just to give it back when he noticed a good amount of dust was on the letter, "How did this get so much dust?"

"I never noticed..." JetStream went ahead and swiped the dust away.

"Oh, look at this Mom." He motioned her to get closer. And she read it out loud.

"It's a P.S.; We also need a couple of chaperones to help with the finishing decoration. P.S.S. We were asked by Celestia, so I feel you all helping out should feel quite honored, and once again we'll see you there." she dropped the letter out of shock, JetStream caught it. "Sorry, baby, I just... a feeling came over me..." JetStream had to think this through, to say it right.

"Well I know you mean, this Celestia pony is big means if she is the Princess of Equestria." He facehoofed. She soaked it in, then after that, she cleared her throat.

"But, anyway, it's up to you to choose this one." she stated as JetStream went ahead to leave the letter on the table.

"I would really want to go, and if you know you'll be indirectly decorating for Celestia, I know we are able to say yes." She suddenly went in to hug JetStream, he didn't bother resisting.

"Thanks JetStream..." there just sitting there motionless.

"Thanks, you too, Mom."

~~~Chapter End~~~

JetStream Origins-Chapter 3

Chapter 3: Readied Excitement

"I can't hold back my excitement!" JetStream mildly jumping throughout his room. Myriad smirked as he passed the door, JetStream went under the bed to search for something.

"Alright JetStream, actually, I can't wait either, I got some adult friends to catch up on too." JetStream perked up from under his bed.

"You do?" Myriad laughed.

"Yep, I sure do." JetStream sat down, and was still looking under the bed.

"How much longer until we leave Dad?" He stumbled around for a while before pulling the same letter out again.

"Oh wow" he looked up to JetStream, "only a couple more days." All Myriad could hear was a muffled, "Yes!" he rolled his eyes, smiling, "Alright." he said to nopony in particular.

"Ahha, found it, the space under my bed is bigger than I thought." And as soon as he got out from under bed, he held a object, it was sparkling, shining, "I love you soo much, my precious emerald. And that white color really suits it." He kept talking to himself, after the self praise, he put the emerald right in the sun, and it seemed to glow the same white color. Then, there was a knock on the front door, and could see Corolla going to see what it was, JetStream decided to hide the emerald again under his bed, and went out of his room to see what was there.

"Thank you." She said firmly, and the same mail-stal was delivering this. And without notice he looked directly at JetStream, JetStream just smile and waved, he waved back.

"You're welcome ma'am." And then went off to the front of the city, even though it wasn't really obvious. The city's huge. JetStream walked up to the table she set the package on.

"What is it Mom?" JetStream was trying to look over the table, but he was still too short.

"Hmm, apparently it's a letter." JetStream's eyes widened.

"Another?" Corolla slightly laughed.

"Guess so." she looked around for the opening, "And it seems to be an update on the Fun-Run, JetStream." JetStream started jumping continuously up and down.

"Well-I'll-let-you-to-it." and he then went back to his room. Corolla laughed at that and got something that could open the package easier. Soon after, she called JetStream back in. "Did you open it?" Corolla nodded. While Myriad popped out from their room doorway.

"Open what?" JetStream turned to his father.

"A box, we got something that adds to the letter we got before." Myriad scratched his chin.

"Ah, I see an information update then..." He then continued to the main room, "What does it say specifically?" Corolla cleared her throat.

"It says that, the path has been set and it's more clear. It says that they're adding stuff formerly known as 'short-cuts' as an alternate path choice, but the cost is being at minimal risk." Myriad shot up.

"Well, I bet I could take those on." Corolla rose an eyebrow, and JetStream went to tell something.

"I don't know Dad, you're not what you used to be." he said wearing a smug smile.

"Oh, come here you!" he grabbed JetStream and tussled his main, JetStream slightly panicked.

"Okay, okay! I'll take that back!" He let JetStream go and posed.

"Not what I used to be huh?" Corolla scoffed.

"Despite the size difference." Myriad reacted immediately.

"Alright you can stay out of this." Corolla smiled.

"Please." she said to herself. JetStream sighed.

"Please Mom, continue..." she held the letter more firm.

"Right, and these paths include bridges, rock obstacles, cloud covered holes, and more." JetStream's eyes sparkled suddenly.

'Awesome, maybe I can give that spell a try!' JetStream was over excited about these "Cloud short-cuts" he had always been with it after Corolla used it so many times as he was a foal, especially if Corolla and JetStream went to watch a one of Myriad's races, it was a very special school called the A.H.I. or Altamare's Hall of Ivy. It took place in the clouds because of all the open space. It's has gotten so far that, "I know I'll be able to try it myself!" he said posing.

~~~Chapter End~~~

JetStream Origins-Chapter 4

Chapter 4: Wonders Beyond

"See you later Mom!" JetStream waved out to the carriage heading to the front of the city.

"Bye Jetty! I'll see you whenever you get there!" she replied, JetStream nodded. And soon after that she could not be seen, JetStream on the other hoof wondered into the house aimlessly.

"Oh, what do I do now?" he asked himself. Then an idea hit him, "I'll go practice the cloud walker spell." he gained a smile. He had many thoughts on this while getting a cloud from his dad, Myriad accepted this. 'Why Canterlot? I thought this was way shorter than a half-cross country.' After that he walked outside to the open backyard, was he ever lucky that it was at least one and a half times bigger than any other around here. He got the cloud in position, and then continued to think, 'Will there be ponies I'll meet out there, friends and/or rivals? We're supposed to meet up tonight for tomorrow, so probably.' JetStream looked at his surroundings, it's spring, the most colorful season of the year. And it sure was colorful, white, blue, green, and different colored flowers naturally, and in the window pots of the neighboring houses. It was 10am they're supposed to be there at 7pm. But anyway JetStream went ahead and turn to face the cloud he'll soon stand upon. And soon after attempt after attempt, four hours passed, he also kept things in place, he didn't want to slow down. JetStream studied this spell, mentally studied the pattern that his Mother used for using that spell. He could feel it building, "I-I feel it..!" JetStream said to himself, "That surge I'm feeling is intense." JetStream looked all over himself, "Where is that co-..?!" It was all surging where the ponies horn is supposed to be. "Oh my-!" he was cut off and it combusted before his eyes, and it sent JetStream sliding on the dew covered grass, until he ever so softly hit the house, but it was just enough to send Myriad outside, "Phew!" JetStream wiped his forehead, "That was close." Soon after, Myriad popped from behind the back door.

"What was that?" Myriad was constantly looking around, but it answered that itself, the grass was tinted in the cause of JetStream's sliding. "Is anything gone wrong... 'cause it looks like it..." JetStream quickly got back up, with green tinted fur once again.

"Yes... I mean no, actually it. was. amazing!" he cheered, then suddenly collapsed, "I'm really tired though..." Myriad walked up to JetStream and picked him up, "Oh, come on Dad!" Myriad laughed.

"Well you and I both know that your Mom's gone, so that obviously means I need to take care of you..." JetStream sighed in defeat. As soon as they got in, Myriad walked over to the couch and dropped JetStream there. He was about to walk somewhere else when a question finally lit up, "JetStream."

"...Hmm, yeah?" he perked his head up.

"What were you doing with one of the clouds anyway?" JetStream grew a little hot.

"Oh, umm, I was using it to do a spell that Mom always did." he answered cheerfully.

"Where is the cloud now though?" He rose an eyebrow.

"It's probably gone by now." There was a long pause.

"...Alright..." Myriad went back to what he was working on, 'Why did he think he could use magic if he isn't a Unicorn?' he laughed slightly to himself, 'That colt's full of questions...'

~~~Chapter End~~~

Author's Note

Well, getting the advantages of using his Aura, even to where as of now, he's not aware just yet. But there may be a sign he'll figure it all out later.

JetStream Origins-Chapter 5

Chapter 5: Mysteries Present

"I don't think this day can get any longer." JetStream mumbled to himself, he was on the couch trying to think of what to do on this seemingly boring day.

"Well, it's only 2:26pm, and actually I had an idea before we even arrived here." JetStream's ears perked up.

"What is it?" he awaited his answer.

"That, when you were more grown up, we'd explore the city together. Thinking it would pass the time one day." JetStream leaped up.

"That does sound interesting..." he looked at Myriad for a reply.

"But I'm pretty busy though, I don't know how I'll be able to do that at these times." Myriad pondered on what he'd do, then turned around, "I know, how about you go ahead and explore for yourself?" JetStream was shocked.

"You got to be kidding, you are kidding right?" he asked with a worried expression.

"No, not really. I'd like for you to go out and get some sunshine, or whatever your Mom would say." Myriad laughed.

"Well, yeah, now that I'm thinking about it, it does sound nice," JetStream headed for the front door, "See you later Dad." But before JetStream was out of sight, Myriad jumped a rule.

"But I do not want to see you out of the city lines, got it." He rose an eyebrow. JetStream nodded.

"Yes, I will." Myriad nodded back and closed the door softly. 'Hmm, I wonder how he took orders from his parents.' he stood there for a second and then went off into the stone paved paths and alleyways. 'Oh, I got an idea, I'll go from the top of the city to the bottom, yeah! That's perfect!' Now since he's got his route set, he had no worries. And as soon as he got to the most top he could get it hit him, "This is the most cool looking town ever!" he loudly whispered to himself, "... But then again, this is the only city I've been to so far." The ocean was first to capture his eyes, it was just beautiful, the whole city complemented it, the city its self was full of bright whites and blues. All the buildings were made of stone, that got smooth corners over time, and the most interesting part is that it didn't mold. The green grass reflecting the sun's light, "Ah, what is tha-, whoa!" JetStream found something reflecting a huge amount of light, "What's glass doing on a hill?... And how am I still able to see?" But aside from that, his eyes adjusted to the blinding light, "Oh, it's past city bounds..." But put the consequences aside, and JetStream went to the glassed hill, and as he went he wanted to be hidden, so he decided to stay in as much alleyways he could, they are narrow paths that are not very populated as normal city paths, and they aren't as lit. And as JetStream would trot through, the whole section that JetStream would be in, would glow the same color of his coat due to how much the light is being pressured, every second or so you would hear two to five colts and/or fillies playing at the end of a path, so it was quite quiet too. Soon after a couple minutes of trotting, JetStream made it on the outside, all that was left was the road that lead to the bridge, and a sign saying, "Welcome to Altamare!". He looked around until he knew for sure that it was the hill he saw, "Hmm, well I saw it over there, so maybe... Ahah!" It was located behind and to the right of the sign, he then started galloping, "Oh boy, it looks farther than from inside of the city. Anyway, let's see this hill." It was a huge circular glass pane on the side of the hill, "Whoa, the edges look like spikes and flowers, how come nopony's never seen this? Can I walk on this..?" But then before he even started he realized that he'd slip, or the glass would break and he would get hurt, "Nnnevermind... It doesn't look like there's a way in either." he went ahead and searched every side, but nothing. JetStream suddenly lost the time, and decided to check again, "It's 3:01pm." He decided to walk to the front of the glass again before he went home, but before then, he saw something that caught his eyes, "What does that say?" There was something sketched into the side of the rock, "It was probably sketched at that angle on purpose..." And after tons of looking JetStream finally understood it, "... 1308... and, go back to where you started?" he scratched his chin, "What does that mean?" he could think of something in forever, but he needed to get home, JetStream then pulled away from the glass and started trotting back to the city, "I'm gonna keep on to that thought though..."

~~~Chapter End~~~

JetStream Origins-Chapter 6

Chapter 6: "Friends"

"Alright then, I'd better head back home." he then turned to the bridge and proceeded to speed up, until the city's view hit him once again, "Oh, well..." he was fighting something like another pony was talking about something, "I guess I'll just walk this time..." he looked around with a worry expression, he didn't want attention now, but anyway, it was pretty normal. JetStream gave an enthusiastic laugh, "The city gets better every time I see it!" Watching the sun fade behind building after building, the shadows rising and falling along the path that JetStream took, and light bouncing off of buildings that make the paths look full of flashlights, JetStream couldn't get over on how that looked, "Hey, what's that?" There was a sudden overcast, it was a little bit to the left of the town entrance. Then JetStream stopped into thought, "And what did that message mean...?" JetStream knew it had to be for something, but anyway, he needed to get back home, but before he could, "Ah, my ear..." It was ringing, JetStream flinched it was so loud, "Great, guess I'll wait this out..." he continued walking, trying to ignore that blasted noise coming from wherever. "Ughh, finally no more bo-ther-ing?" he heard noises coming from the closest alleyway, he then decided to peek around the corner, "Oh, that's what I heard!" he assured himself, there were four ponies galloping his way, three colts and a filly, "Oh! I better hide, I don't really feel like talking now..." he saw the blue fence of a house behind him, then decided to get behind it, and wait this out also. As they passed by he took a look at them, peering through the small vertical air holes of the fence he's hiding behind, the first seemed to be a Pegasus colt, he had ruby-red eyes with white fur, everything else was blue, mane, tail, and even hoofs, and he had a cutie mark of a red emerald shape outline pointing downward. The second was a Pegasus mare, she had autumn-yellow eyes with a white coat.. but she had red, replacing blue from the first one, and instead of a red emerald outline, she had a blue emerald outline, "Are they brother and sister?" JetStream asked himself. The third was also a Pegasus, he had matte yellow fur, with light cyan strips over his body like a zebra, and his eyes are stone-grey. And the last caught JetStream by surprise, he was an Earth colt, with brown fur, dark-brown hooves, and warm-colored eyes... And his cutie mark looked like a pony out-running a tornado.

"He-Hey! Wait up guys! I'm still new here...!?" The last saw JetStream, making him cower, "No, wait... I didn't mean to scare you if that's what I did..." he had to lower his voice, soon Slash walked over.

"So, what is it?"

"Be quiet..." he turned to JetStream, "What's your name?" JetStream panicked, should he, what would they d-... no, he needed to gain something.

"My name... is JetStream..." They both felt the tension release as soon as he said it. The dark-brown pony sighed and smiled.

"Well, JetStream, it's a pleasure to meet you..." he scratched the back of his head, "Uh, I guess..." Slash looked back to the path they were traveling.

"Uh, Twister, I'm gonna go ahead." Twister nodded and he disappeared behind the buildings. Then Twister's ears perked up when he heard a voice, and looked to JetStream.

"Hey, uh, Twister is it?" Twister leaned in.

"Yeah?" JetStream looked back to the ground, Twister took note that he obviously hasn't gotten to where he exactly thought.

"I was a little curious why you said you were new here, I'm new here too." JetStream rose a little, Twister was mentally relieved, he was getting somewhere.

"Yeah, we moved here about four months ago." he tried to recall.

"Umm, is their a reason why you moved here?"

"Yeah, but it isn't the brightest story..." he waited for JetStream to agree, he nodded, "Alright, we moved here because of a storm, it was too strong, we decided to move somewhere it was less average for one." JetStream cringed.

"That's awful..." Twister nodded.

"But honestly we're all used to it..." JetStream nodded back.

"That's good, at the most."

"But anyway, what about you?" JetStream eyes widened.

"What do you mean?"

"Where you moved? Or is this your hometown?" JetStream nodded.

"I don't know, but my Mom and Dad told me that we moved here a year ago... It's bad enough that I can't remember much of it though." Twister laughed a little.

"It's better than waking up on a beach with a little bit of Amnesia though." They both laughed. Then there was a voice looming behind the buildings.

"Hey Twister, ya coming yet?" Twister's focus on the conversation snapped.

"Uh, yeah I'll be there really soon." he turned to JetStream, "It was really nice meeting, and I hope we run into each other again!" but before JetStream could say it back, Twister was already gone.

"...You too..." That was taking my breath, that's the most I've ever talked to anypony except his own parents. Soon after he then started off for home once again. Passing by colts and fillies playing, he then found his street his house was on, "I, actually do hope we cross paths again. He's really good at mentally getting ponies off their hooves." he cheered with a smile. Soon he made it to his house, when he was just about to walk in, when he noticed his house number, "1308...! Maybe that's what it said." JetStream's ears rang loudly once again. "G-Go back to where you started... Home..." after that he opened the door and walked inside.

"Welcome back, JetStream." Myriad looked on at him opening the door.

"Thanks Dad." Myriad laughed to himself.

"You seem awfully happy, what happened?" JetStream continued to look around the house.

"Well, something I can't really say yet." He raised a eyebrow.

"Alright, you keep yourself busy like this alright?, time will certainly fly by." JetStream nodded.

"Right." 'Alright, I'm here, but I feel the need to go deeper, so let's do it.' JetStream headed for his room, he was most definitely finding his way.

~~~Chapter End~~~

JetStream Origins-Chapter 7

Chapter 7: Going deeper

JetStream circled himself stationary, "Come on, JetStream. There's got to be a way further!" he paused, hoping to get an answer, "Alright fine... Wait... Deeper! I'll check my bedroom!" he then turned to his bathroom, and stumbling due to how dizzy he was. He looked high and low, but all he could find was the emerald he kept, and a wooden, but polished, box. "Hmm, seems suspicious enough." he shrugged. He then grabbed it, "Oh, what? I need a key." he then decided without thinking to put it back under the bed, but then quickly brang it back out. It was a number lock, "Aghh! there are four digits! That's, like... over six-thousand combinations!" JetStream went ahead and tried a couple, "1-3-3-7?, no... 2-0-9-8, no... 0-4-4-8, no... 0-0-2-5, no..." He was actually liking the guessing game, "0-3-9-7, 7-7-7-7, 1-1-1-2?" JetStream sighed, "All no..." Then, another random number popped up, "Alright, let's try 5-2-5-4...!" It clicked open, "..." JetStream shrugged to himself, he opened it, and the only thing inside was a note.

"Gallop the hill up and vanish from the ground dwellers."

He soaked it in, 'The hill in the backyard?' he looked out the window facing the yard, 'Well, it is facing away from the middle of the city... Sure...' he smiled, 'But first...' he then went back inside, and tried to find Myriad, "Dad, Dad!"

"Oh, uh, yes?" the sound came from behind a corner.

"I'm going off to explore again." JetStream turned around, and waited at the back door.

"... Sure, but like before, stay inside the city." JetStream replied and headed for the bottom of the hill.

'If it said gallop up the hill, then I'll start at the bottom. And it's about 3:47pm so let's try to make it quick.' he reached the bottom of the hill and turned around. "So, a little gallop up this hill, and I'll be, there somehow." he has doubt to deal with, either that, or he doesn't want to smash into the house with more force this time. Then with one sudden step, JetStream was galloping up the hill, as he approached the house, the more worried he would get. "No, I got this..." he continued, and suddenly with a random counted hoof hitting the ground, "Ah, what's that noise!" It was unbearable, and soon after a part of the ground opened up, he fell through, with a sudden yelp, he landed and started tumbling as he went further, there were torches everywhere, "Am I in a, cave...? Anyway let's continue..." he tried to remember where the hill was, and then he followed certain paths, there wasn't much to look at, just dirt and torches. Finally after what seemed like four minutes, JetStream made it into a room, "Wait, is this the" JetStream looked to the top of the ceiling, and there it was, the glassed pane, "I'm inside it now." he whispered to himself. JetStream decided to take a look around, the sun's light was shining in. JetStream studied the glass more clearly, "It's tilted more, so much it looks like we have to wait till sunset... I wonder what this is used for... Oh, how do I get out of here?" he decided to stand in the sun's light so he wouldn't feel so cold, and then, with his spirits raised, he spoke to himself suddenly.

"I'm here, I made it... But I don't have the note I should've saved it... The sun just watches me, it can plainly see... If only I could stare back, without it having to hurt... If only I can make it back home... If only I avoided this bitter result all out, then just to figure without doubt." he sat there, suddenly, there was a ominous noise, and then it came to life instantly, a door was opening, it formed a small arch, "I guess that's my way out..." JetStream loved that feeling, he never wanted to let go of it, great succession and sincerity.

All the while something was watching JetStream closely, in the shadows. It had a soft and light laugh.

heheheh...

JetStream Origins-Chapter 11

Chapter 11: The reunion 2

'This... this is very relaxing... I love sleep... but I like doing what I like too... no... sleeping and other stuff, like having fun... is what I do... It's what I like... I... Am one in the same... Not a two...' The dark warm light of night continued, it's noiseless ambience, 'Why... why does night go so fast... In such long amounts of time... It's like it is... eight hours are... just minutes... what if it was more... what if it was more then just... hours...' Suddenly, a voice scratched the dark, and replaced it with light, soon JetStream recognized that voice, then... everything went white.

"...You awake buddy?" JetStream slowly opened his eyes, then slowly nodded, "Alright... But we got to hurry on outside, still don't know why it's so early though." he stood there scratching his head on the thought. JetStream sat up on his bed and looked out the doorway.

'I stayed up till midnight... But I feel like I normally would when I sleep...' He suddenly got a cold chill down his spine, and then decided to walk to the hallway and follow Myriad. Then, everything stopped, and it was all quite, he heard the same whisper, but he wasn't able to ignore it.

The moon comforts you, you feel loved during the night's awakening...

But it turns out that all it was is JetStream was staring blankly at his Dad, "Spacing out?" he asked waving a hoof. JetStream then snapped, the whisper disappeared.

"Ye-yeah, I guess I was..." Myriad just look down at him.

"Well, don't let your brain get to you" he chuckled, "alright?" JetStream smiled and asked.

"So, where we going then?" With the windows near, Myriad tried to get a view outside.

"Uh, we're supposed to go to the field across the road." JetStream showed his father a smug smile, he chuckled, "What?" Still showing that expression, he decided he couldn't take it anymore, "Alright, alright... I was looking at other ponies to see where they were going, there..." he chuckled again, "Ya caught me, you happy?" he smiled at JetStream, he just nodded. Soon he saw the four ponies he wanted to see.

"Later Dad, I'm going to catch up to them." Myriad nodded, and JetStream continued forward. Once over there, Colos seemed to be talking over about certain things, "So how were your rooms?" Colas, Twister, and Slash suddenly were talking all at once, "Whoa, whoa, one at a time." The conversation was suddenly broken.

"Hey guys... and gal..." he gave a sheepish smile. JetStream knew right there it would get awkward.

"Hey Jet." JetStream took notice, "Hope you got some rest for the Fun-Run." JetStream just dug at the ground.

"I hope I did." Colas looked around.

"What is it?" Colos wondered, trying to seek what she was.

"Nothing, just trying to find our parents in this jumbled mess..."

"What time is it, anyway?" All of them, except JetStream, went to find their parents, while JetStream went ahead and pointed his body in toward north and looked at his shadow.

"It's 7:38am." he answered to himself. He then looked up to find one already left and the others were just staring at him, and as soon as the other walked back, "What happened?" JetStream, on the other hoof, decided to ignore the question, or he didn't hear it, "It's 7:38am." he said aloud.

"How do you know that?" Twister bumped to the left side of JetStream to reply.

"That's not Important." JetStream and Twister then winked at each other.

"What were you talking about, something happening?" Colos looked around for a second.

"Oh, yeah. The Fun-Run apparently starts in two hours." JetStream jumped.

"That long!" They all looked at him again.

"Can you wait that long?" Colas asked, awaiting an answer. JetStream nodded.

"I sure have, about three and a half times that amount!" JetStream calmed quickly. "So... To waste time, what will we do?" Twister raised his hoof, "Oh, how 'bout we explore?" Everypony seemed to agree, and soon went looking around the hotel area, JetStream knew he would like every second of it, finding nothing at all wouldn't matter either.

~~~Chapter End~~~

JetStream Origins-Chapter 12

Chapter 12: Old Wants

As they were trotting off to the opposite direction of the hotel, looking at trees, they seemed to spread out, looking at many other different things. Walking, from first to last, Colas, Colas, Twister, and... JetStream was a little off, but decided to ask anyway.

"What was your name?" he looked at him, gaining a confident smile and replying.

"The name's, Slash." JetStream started to wonder off somewhere else.

"Slash..." The trees seemed to block the sun's cream-yellow light, letting its appearance go ever so slightly when it hides behind the tree's leafs. Soon after Colos went ahead to speak as they all slowed to a walk.

"... So, JetStream..." he was choking on his own words, so he coughed, "How were you the past years...?" JetStream looked to the sky, hoping the clear sky could give him clouds to form answers, then looked back at him.

"Well, the first thing is that I actually moved here." Colos suddenly got a sharper glare, Colas looked at him, and he continued, "Well, when did you move here, to Altamare?" JetStream scratched his chin, "From what my Mom and Dad told me, about three years ago." he stared off into the horizon smiling. He suddenly remembered the glassed hill, maybe he could go back to it and check around, maybe actually get to-.

"Hey." One of the pony's waving their hoof in front of his face, "Equestria to JetStream." He shook his head and turned back to them.

"I nee- want to go somewhere, for a little while, but I'll be back hopefully before the thing starts." he said as he pointed at the hotel.

"Alright." they all said in unison, but had a questioning tone. But anyway, JetStream took off, Myriad saw him heading for Altamare, but he knew he could trust him, they gave each other a good sign before he was out of sight. And as soon as he passed everything with the hotel, the burning feeling rising, rushing his heart to pace, an open field, green grass and a dirt road to Altamare. And before you knew it, he was off, blasting like a rocket, galloping as fast as a grown stallion would have. JetStream couldn't believe it, entering the city before he knew it. He soon reached the train station and passed it with winds following, about five ponies were at the train station, each had a wide mouth just staring at an average, four year old colt going four times fast as he should. But out of those five, one of them broke a sentence to another, "I think we've found Myriam's earth counterpart." the other just nodded. Meanwhile JetStream was back at his house, 1308. He then preceded to the backyard and down the hill, then suddenly shifted forward and started galloping again. And as soon as he got to the top, the door once again opened, and fell through, but this time landing on all fours and sliding with dirt being tossed. JetStream remembered it from last time, so he kept galloping, he practically ran thorough it flawlessly, he referred back to when he said glassed hill.

"That's what I'll name this..." he entered the same room as before, "The Glassed Hill." he was happier than before, and felt like greeting it, but before he could think, "I'm back!" he shouted to the ceiling. The door that was once again closed, opened up for another time, and it occurred to JetStream that this hill has maybe adapted to him in some way. Suddenly a staircase was revealed to go up to the huge glass window.

"Whoa! I'm able to see a good part of the town." he looked around for a good while, but then something small caught his eye, "Wait, is that Twi- Twister! How long has it been!" he needed to get a reality check. He then leaped off th-, "Oww..." he had to get out there, it was a bigger fall than he thought, he made his way to the door, and once again everything went white and back at the backyard. He made his way to the front of Altamare next to the stone path, Twister sees him, and waves, telling him to hurry on back up here, they then galloped back to the hotel, side by side, Twister was keeping a good eye on the ground so it wouldn't trip him.

"The event will be starting soon, that's why I came down here. And we need to get there as soon as possible." JetStream nodded.

"We sure do." They continued to head in the direction of the hotel, hoping they didn't start just yet.

~~~Chapter End~~~

JetStream Origins-Chapter 13

Chapter 13: Beach-like Scenes

Twister looked to JetStream huffing, "You want to race?" JetStream looked a little unsure, he huffing, JetStream was fine, so he answered.

"No, I don't want to." Twister looked back ahead of them. So did JetStream.

"Okay... Oh JetStream look! The Hotel." JetStream squinted his eyes, there was the Hotel, just standing there being immobile, soon after he was looking at JetStream entirely, JetStream could feel it getting awkward to ask, so he'll let it slide.

"What is it?" JetStream finally got it out.

"How are you able to keep up, I'm almost out of breath." he replied, he kept in mind that his speed talent was hidden for obvious reasons to him.

"How old are you?" JetStream asked out of pure curiosity.

"Seven, why are you asking?" JetStream quickly looked at the sky.

"No particular reason." he replied more sheepishly than fast. He was excited about how fast he was. Keeping up to a very young stallion, or an old colt. JetStream still couldn't figure it out. After some time, they approached the hotel, cardio was finally reaching JetStream. Twister looked at JetStream like some sort of mentor. Myriad walked up to them, JetStream and Twister stopped.

"Well, I'm glad you two are back." JetStream sighed from galloping here.

"Are, these things... for the things ready?" He stood there shaking a bit. Myriad looked over to him.

"I told you." Myriad ignored it and continued.

"We still got 30 minutes..." At realization, Twister and JetStream fell down with do some of there hoofs in the air, but they got back up as fast as they fell, "Was it something I said?" JetStream spoke up first.

"Twister here said we're starting now." Twister blew raspberries.

"I guess I got misinformed... Or I didn't hear correctly." as he rolled his eyes toward Myriad. Twister scratched his ear.

"Then what will we do?"

"You'll probably-" JetStream cut in.

"Lazy around..." He stood with a smile, Myriad returned it.

"Yes, yes you will. But I'd prefer lounge, lounge around." Twister shrugged, Colos and Colas showed up behind Myriad, "Well, I'll leave you to your buddies JetStream." he tussled his mane and turned to the hotel. JetStream sighed.

"Eh, okay Dad." he straitened his mane again, it would've bothered him to leave it like that, which made the other three take sudden interest to his appearance. The purple has taken more area, the dark blue in his hoofs have spread up a little as well, then something occurred to him, "Hey, Twister." hew looked to JetStream.

"Yeah?" JetStream dug at the dirt.

"I'm surprised that you aren't treating me like a foal..." hoping that wasn't, somehow, insulting him. But instead he smiled.

"That's what friends are for..." He started off to the hotel, "... JetStream, now come on I heard they have a pool!" JetStream just stood there watching him walk down, Colos broke the silence.

"...I've never heard of a friend do that before..." JetStream looked up to meet his eyes.

"Do what?" He just stared over at the hotel until he finally came to look at JetStream, "Give your name out in that tone... And I've been to many cities before this one..." JetStream believed it, he looked a couple years older than Twister. Soon Colas started trotting to the hotel as well.

"Come on you two, we got a pool to go to!" JetStream and Colos followed. As soon as they got there, more questions emerged. JetStream looked around.

"Hey, where is Slash anyway?" Colos replied.

"He's in the hotel getting his stuff ready." JetStream nodded.

"Alright... Wait! I don't have anything for the pool!" Twister fell and got back up.

"Don't you have them in your room?" JetStream suddenly stopped.

"Oh yeah, I guess I could check."

Meanwhile, at the same time, Myriad in the room saw JetStream go in the back door.

"Luckily I called her..." he muttered to himself smiling. JetStream made his way through the hallways, he chose the stairs instead of the elevator. Soon after that, he opened the door to his room, he saw the equipment on the bed, he grabbed it all, some how, and turned to the door, but he felt something, he spoke out with out thought.

"Hey, Dad." he then quickly left and closed the door, then put his right ear on the door to the room, he could hear a muffled voice through the door, and JetStream's eyes widened.

"How'd he know I was here?" JetStream backed up then picking up his pacing to the stairs.

"How did I know he was there?" he said quietly to himself, "Alright I'm ready." he wasn't able to hide what he was hiding though, Twister was talking to the others, then he moved to JetStream.

"Awesome!" he turned to the others close to him and started trotting, "Let's hit it!"

"Ya!" they yelled in unison. JetStream just smiled.

~~~Chapter End~~~

Author's Note

I hope you know what a pool is... well if you don't then it's that one place people and ponies get angry because you splash them with the water, even though they're already... I bet you get the point here.

JetStream Origins-Chapter 14

Chapter 14: Pool mishaps

It's 9:13am, and JetStream was envious talking with his thoughts, 'Hmm.' he swung at the water closest to him resulting a small splash. All his friends except Slash were on the bigger side of the pool, 'I mean, I have friends like that, but I'm stuck over here...' and suddenly Slash broke the lonely feeling with him in his field of vision. Even though his eyes were focused, his head was tilted to him, "I wonder how it is over there." JetStream rose a hoof, he wasn't in a floaty, but he did know how to doggy paddle. Floating slowly to JetStream, Slash turned slowly, drifting in the rippling water.

"It's wet, splashy, and" he shivered for effect, "deeper..." he narrowed his eyes. There they were, just floating, in the water, but then Slash had a floaty, and couldn't stop looking at it, finally JetStream uttered the words.

"Why do you have that?" Slash looked like he saw something horrible.

"I-It's to keep me entertained!" He suddenly started bobbing up and down, JetStream staring ta him silently, Slash had an arched frown.

"You got to be careful I guess." JetStream raised his left and right shoulder, the water around him lifted and came down with a splash, which followed with a couple of annoyed yells from around, "Sorry, sorry..." he sank down with an annoying and worried look, then looked at Slash, getting back up, "I believe you..." JetStream smiled, but he, sadly, still looked annoyed.

"Good, 'cause ya should." JetStream sighed.

"Alright." then decided to swim to the edge of the pool behind him. Got up, went to his towel to dry himself off, then walked to the other side, again straitening his mane, and sat where Colos and Colas were near by, "Hi." he greeted. The reflections of the pool and the light were bright and angled just right, both turned and the blue one spoke.

"Oh, JetStream, why are you over here?" He asked, but he looked a little nervous, JetStream guessed it was uncomfortable being with other ponies that are older than you by half a decade, or it was just him.

"I want to ask you something." Colas tugged on her brothers shoulder.

"Go ahead." Colos shoke something off.

"Okay, what is it JetStream?" JetStream sat himself at the edge of the pool, letting his feet swing back and forth in the water.

"Just a thought, but what cities haven't you been to?" Colos scratched his chin and looked at the bottom of the pool, then went back up.

"...Well, the first in mind is Canterlot." JetStream had a feeling, so he asked.

"Is this why you two are in this?" he looked at JetStream partly surprised.

"Yes, we are. You could be a detective." he said with little doubt. But suddenly JetStream stood up, "Yes!" the half-bottom of his legs were soaked still, he pulled a magnifier from nowhere and stroke a pose, "I could be."

"Hey!" Both Colos and JetStream looked around, somepony was trotting up to them, she was a Pegasus mare that had a color palette of green only, but her fur was tinged in blue, "Give that back!" she stood firm, standing a couple inches taller than him.

"Oh, I-I'm sorry." he put lowered his head, and lifted his left hoof giving her the item that she desired, "Here." she grabbed it swiftly.

"You better be." she started walking off with her nose in the air, and with his head hanging low, he remembered what Colos said.

"...Could be..." soon after he recovered fairly quickly, "Anyway, you know any more?" a smile grew on him.

"Lots more, that's what makes this so great." he had the right tone for it too. JetStream felt like time had gone by, which it has, he looked at his shadow, "It's nine-twenty, you think we should get ready?" he stood there for an answer, other ponies were starting to pack up aswell.

"Hmm, yeah I guess so. I'll get Colas and get out." he swam towards the middle. JetStream then totted to the hotel, and with out thinking, he suddenly slipped on the concrete turn nearest to the hotel, he fell to his left and slid in the grass a good couple feet. He breathed in, gritting his teeth.

"Ah, that hurts." he said quietly, "My-my voice!" he started to pull himself up, but the progress was rather slow. Colos, Slash, and Colas noticed, they both asked Colas to go help JetStream. The other two picked up everything else and went after Colas. Once they got there, it looked like Colas was inching JetStream up a bit, helping him stand.

"What happened?" Slash asked.

"I just slipped is all." JetStream replied with a small smile. He coughed a little, but it was only the gravity's effects. Colas looked at JetStream.

"I'll get you back to your room." she looked over to her brother, "I'll be back at ours afterward." Colos nodded.

"Alright then." They both started to the hotel, lazily slow. Then disappeared behind the corner. Slash's eyes widened in realization.

"Where's Twister?"

"Right here!" he appeared out of nowhere, "I was hiding." the two ponies in front of him were still confused, Colos spoke up.

"From who?" Twister just gave the same glare.

"From them." Slash asked himself after that failed.

"Who?"

"Them... now come on! It's getting to that time!" Twister walked past them with a little bounce in each step, while Slash and Colos were dumbfounded. Slash looked to Colos.

"Talk about a" there was a pause, "sudden change of character." Colos jumped up.

"YYEEEEEAAAAAH..." and then landed, "Right." Slash stopped, and Colos just continues with a confident look on his face. Both which will soon return to their main rooms.

~~~Chapter End~~~

JetStream Origins-Chapter 15

Chapter 15: The great galloping start

JetStream sighed, 'That memory last night, I can remember every detail. I really want this thing to start...' he suddenly smiled, but it just disappeared, 'Or, or do I just want to see the night again?' he looked outside, he started swinging his legs back and forth on the edge of the bed, where he was put to rest from the incident. Although he had some desire for night, he knew it would have to wait until. Soon after some thought, the door suddenly opened, Myriad and Colas walked in afterward, Colos was behind the two. JetStream noticed them and perked up, sitting straight. Myriad decided to speak first.

"How do you feel?" JetStream made eye contact, smiling.

"I feel great, or a lot better than I was..." his voice was still scattered, but it was pulling together. Myriad just laughed lightly and smiled. JetStream looked over to the partly shy, young mare.

"Oh, hello Colas. Why you back here?" he asked curiously. Colas made a happy expression.

"I just wanted to check on you. To see how you were doing." JetStream nodded, giggling a little.

"You act like a nurse, Colas." She looked like she wanted to remember that. Myriad walked over to his son.

"Here, JetStream I want to see if you can at least walk..." He held out his hoof, JetStream extended his as well, and pulled him off the bed, "Go ahead, walk around the room." So JetStream went ahead, it was like trying some fancy shoes or something, or that's what it looked like. After he got it down, and he seemed to be able to push him self at higher speeds, Myriad continued, "So, my boy, you still want to do this?" his normal expression, worried eyes with a smile. JetStream stopped, looked at his father and nodded.

"Of course I want to." Myriad and Colas were happy to hear that.

"Well, if you say so-" immediately Colos called from the hallway that they're calling everypony to the front of the hotel.

"This will be the best yet." Soon all of them started to the hallway and towards outside, not forgetting to close the door of course. As soon as they got outside, they were told to wait at the starting gate. Then right after, a pony was walking to the center of the crowd, she had a firm smile.

"Alright, settle down everypony. Welcome to the Fun-Run that has been moved throughout Equestria! This year it's obviously in this here city of Altamare. Now, I'm going to go over a little detail-" there were mutters spurring through the thick crowd, "some details about this." she picked up a piece of harder-than-paper card, with her glowing horn. "This run will take place from here, to Canterlot in the main plaza." There were chatter in the crowds once again, "The path will follow the river, for the most part." Colos and JetStream looked at each other, knowing what one another is thinking, "And throughout this route will be checkpoints where you'll be able to stop at for any, needs. It will be free will so you can decide on what to do when you get there." her upbeat personality was too much to ignore, "Also, for the young ones with the heart of a manticore, you can take advanced routes to which you'll be able to walk, trot, or even gallop on. And there are multiple kinds that affect certain someponys, some examples are rocky roads, giant boulders blocking the path, clouds above not-so-deep holes, but I'm certain you pegasi wont make mistakes, but even so you can still give a helping hoof." Across the crowd a certain grey Pegasus shuffled, she didn't look too confident. But JetStream on the other hoof, he was confident as ever to try the spell his Mom always did. After seconds had gone by, and as soon as the sun escaped the from the next cloud, she went ahead and pulled on a lever that revealed a green flag, and before he knew it, JetStream saw tons of hours on this one path to Canterlot, most of them started walking of course, but JetStream, he wanted to be ahead, he had a need for speed to gallop ahead of the disorderly pack. And nothing ahead of him except the rolling hills full of green on the horizon.

~~~Chapter End~~~

Author's Note

And the Fun-Run begins!

JetStream Origins-Chapter 16

Chapter 16: Dramatic Starts

"I can't do it!" JetStream cried, "I can't go further." he stopped all his progress and just hit his head on the dirt path below him, not moving an inch. Soon enough Myriad was behind him.

"You can't be serious. Were only half a mile away from the hotel..." Myriad just stood there, glaring down at him. Suddenly JetStream perked up, lifting his head, he looked at his father, the blinding sun behind him. He suddenly stood up.

"Yeah..." he turned away from him, "I'm not..." he looked back at his father through the corner of his eye, "But thanks for checking on me." he had a brat-like attitude, and he was smiling, but it was sort of broke, JetStream changed his posture, "How long has it been anyway." he was sounding as his normal self. Myriad laughed.

"About two and a half hours..." he held a hoof above his head looking at the sun, or trying to, he looked back at his son, he was still looking at him, "Since we woke up at least." he smiled, and slowly walked past him, "Now come on, you got to walk the walk." JetStream's jaw dropped.

"Wait, what. What about you?" he gave JetStream an unsatisfied look.

"Can't you see I already am?" JetStream sighed, hanging his neck low, he started, "And what are you complaining about? It's 71 degrees."

"Oh, alright." he muttered, after a pause he shook his head, "Alright, I did that for too long." Myriad smiled raising an eyebrow.

"It's about time." JetStream had a sharp glare at him.

"Hey! I'll be saying that soon..." Myriad was still smiling.

"Soon?" JetStream sighed.

"Let's just go." Myriad suddenly got a bounce in his step, progressing faster than JetStream.

"It's about time, now hurry up before you look older than me." JetStream wondered what he meant by that, but on any means they both started at a good pace. After some time, JetStream got curious, this whole trip to Canterlot was overwhelming.

"...Hey Dad?" Myriad turned his neck.

"Yes?" JetStream smiled. He hopped up several times.

"When are we going to see Canterlot?" Myriad looked up in thought.

"I may not know exactly, but it's on the top of a mountain, but you should know that from the invite card we got. So probably not for long here." JetStream looked surprised.

"And have you ever been there?"

"I think it was only once that I did..." he trailed off, for as good amount of time, he suddenly jumped back.

"Yes, I was, with Rapidfire." JetStream was confused, pony or not.

"Who's that?" Myriad smiled.

"Well, he's that big-pony-in-charge as you'd call it." his son brushed up against him.

"Oh, don't make fun of the way I talk." Myriad laughed at his prevail.

"Alright, but as your mother would say... You got the cutest voice I've ever heard." JetStream looked at the ground, frowning with a sudden blush, turning his muzzle purple, Myriad started whistling, making JetStream avoid the faces around them, "Alright, alright I'll stop." JetStream sighed a sigh of relieve, "...For now." JetStream suddenly hiccupped. Myriad, moments later, started positioning his neck more up-right. JetStream did the same, the purple was now a cyan.

"What are you looking for?" he looked back down, "Yes, seeing if there was any place where that the other colts and fillies were." JetStream jumped up continuously.

"Do you see my friends?" JetStream then stopped, realizing what he just said. Myriad nodded.

"Yep, I do, near the front of the group." he looked back down, "Hop up." he motioned to JetStream. While he was still trying to understand.

"Okay." JetStream was still a little curious with his decision, but still jumped onto his back, making Myriad wince form sudden pressure.

"O-over there." He tilted his head in the direction of the said group. JetStream looked at him.

"Will you let me over there?" Myriad looked behind him.

"Sure." JetStream jumped down and started trotting, "But I want to see you in at least one Checkpoint." JetStream nodded.

"Alright, Dad." then he continued to the front. More voices were heard as he approached, each of them talking about something else, some things that are more interesting than others, JetStream saw his friends right ahead of him, and sped up, "Hey!... Everypony." he stopped as soon as he reached, and faked his panting. Twister noticed him first.

"Oh, hey JetStream." Slash looked back at the rest.

"Oh, you." Everypony was getting to meet one another just again, but before you could think about another thing, two random ponies showed up, startling the group. They were both Unicorn Fillies.

"Hi!" Twister jumped, and looked at the opposite side of him.

"Oh... hi." The one behind started talking.

"How many colors..." the pony stopped just as the other continued.

"... do you have?" Twister looked at JetStream, who just shrugged.

"Does my Cutie Mark count?" the first giggled.

"Yep." Twister was suddenly more confident.

"Then I have six colors."

"And your name is?"

"Uh... Twister."

"Alrighty!" The fillies alter their attention to Colos and Colas.

"And you both have?" They looked at each other.

"Three." they responded in unison.

"And your names?" Colos went ahead.

"I'm Colos, and this is Colas." she was giving a weak wave, and a sheepish smile. Twister leaned in and whispered to JetStream.

"I thought this was a Fun-Run, not an interview." Again JetStream just shrugged. They all soon realize that they had gone to Slash. JetStream mentally face-hoofed.

'Oh man, I'm next...' JetStream just waited to be quizzed. Finally after about a minute.

"How many do you have?" he panicked and went to count.

'Well, one for my fur, one for my hoofs, one for my eye, and two more for my mane and tail.' JetStream looked at them, awaiting his answer, "I have five colors."

"And your name is?"

"JetStream." Both the fillies looked shocked.

"Can you predict the weather?" JetStream decided to take this opportunity.

"No, but it will probably get cloudy by tonight." They cheered.

"Well, we're just going to have to see, huh?" JetStream threw that expression right back.

"Yeah, I guess so. By the way, what are yo-" they had went somewhere else, they just all kept walking in silence, they all looked at one another.

"What was that?"

~~~Chapter End~~~

JetStream Origins-Chapter 18

Chapter 18: The Twilight Forest

JetStream's attention was drawn to the sky, he was mildly worried about the fact that it is cloudy, much to quick than he thought. The sun soon shined its last before hiding behind a cloud, and dulled. Colos grew worried, "There's usually a team of ponies around here that control the weather... And this doesn't seem to fit right." JetStream turned to him.

"What?" he responded almost as he didn't believe what he heard, "Ponies can do that?" Colos gave a single laugh, he acted like he had raised a hoof to gesture.

"Well, the Pegasus ponies of course." Slash turned to the group.

"Yeah, he's right. And ever since I saw them, I wanted to do it too." Colos turned to Slash.

"There is more than one group, you know that right?" Slash blushed.

"Well, when I saw them I didn't mean four years ago, that wouldn't be right." he motioned thought. Soon enough there were tall bushes lining up with the route, and there seemed to be some forest behind it. And animals seemed to jump out every now and then. Colas grimaced.

"Weather sure looks rough." Colos nodded.

"Yeah, we might want to be careful." The two fillies from before were staring at JetStream, like they were trying to use telepathy, but anyway JetStream noticed it, then quickly looked away. He was getting awkward, but the sky was to worry about. There was a sudden fog building, and soon could only see 20 feet ahead of them.

'Okay, I'm going to slow down a bit.' Only the circle of the five ponies could see one another. But suddenly a random thought flashed across him, 'Wait, doesn't fog-' there was a sudden screech.

"My mane!" JetStream high-hoofed himself.

'Yup it does...' Suddenly JetStream could hear the other ponies mumbling throughout a good area. But as JetStream slowed himself, he was looking into the fog, and noticed something, "What is that?" he kept his vision still, the others just looked ahead.

"What's what?"

"The color, the glow, it's back, I'm seeing it again..." everypony around him had a certain colored glow, Twister's was orange, Colas's was a pure green, Colos's was a clear red, and Slash's was a lemon-like-yellow. JetStream desired to wonder what color his was, but he blinked, "It's gone!" he said and shouted at once.

"What is?" Colos and Twister were both curious. JetStream just shook his head.

"Well, it doesn't matter now." They both gave JetStream a dubious look. And went back to the group conversation. JetStream, as of now, was the friend off of the sidewalk. He decided to look at himself to see his colors, but instead, he felt the ground tug at his hoofs, and fell to the right. And the side of the route in this part was steep enough for him to slide down, he stopped on the outer brim inside the forest, covered in dust and dirt from tumbling. And everything seemed to fade to black. Things like echoing chirps and calls could be heard, but finally, he was able to see once again, he realized what he was seeing and looked full circle, "Nononono. How do I get back??" he looked at every corner, he just fell apart, the fog was really dense, and JetStream looked like on the verge of tears. He just sat there, gazing at one of his hoofs, "... Can I get out of here?" he asked himself, but suddenly he saw the same as before, JetStream's eyes widened as if he saw hope, "It's back... b-but it isn't a blue, it's... a dark grey..."

...You see it... I can sense it... Fear is boiling in the body... That voice, it was a ghostly yet audible voice, JetStream frowned.

"Get me out of here!"

...My, my, it is like you met somepony like this before... Haven't you?... JetStream looked around in a panicked manner, looking for a place to exit the forest, and get back on route, but the forest seemed to go for miles.

"Whaddo you mean?"

...I'm usually mistaken for a pony that, supposedly pranks other ponies, in the position you're in for example, but you think other wise... I like that... JetStream grit his teeth.

"And I do not like the sound of that." he perked up, "Show yourself! I'm warning me!" JetStream knew what he said, but why say the whole thing, he had no idea what he was messing with.

... As thou wishes... JetStream tilted his head at the sudden change in tone, then, from under the trees, a mass of transparent purple-like liquid was in front of him, floating only a foot in the air, JetStream decided to take a couple steps back, he stood there and concentrated, the fog should defiantly help him this time. The glow around this object was so weak it was almost invisible. And it's color was black. He looked at his chest. Speaking quite softly.

"Nopony has that color... and if that glow or, Aura, from what I heard, is almost invisible..." he pointed his right hoof to the purple liquid, "... Then you are not actually here, are you?!" he sounded unsure of himself. The voice just chuckled.

... Remember what I said earlier...? JetStream frowned.

"That I have met somepony like you? You obviously would be telling a lie..."

... Yes, you are a good listener... I like those who listen carefully as well... JetStream was starting to sense a pattern, and prepared for anything.

"So yo-... Wait..." JetStream looked back up, "The first night, that wind I ignored... That was you?" The blob suddenly started circling around JetStream, it was as big as a stallion, and it felt really cold.

... Yes, that was me... JetStream pulled himself together, for the final question.

"...What are you trying to tell me?" there was a long pause.

... To tell, I am coming back... JetStream got worried, but before he knew it, the substance caved in on him, JetStream tried to jump out of the way, but it was stuck to him, making him fall flat on the floor, right on his stomach, and after that it went black once again. And something he could feel that was so cold it stung.

"W-where am I...?"

JetStream Origins-Chapter 19

Chapter 19: Twilight's Dawn

There was a sound, it was beating, like a heart. It was at a normal pace, but as JetStream listened, it slew down, more, and more. Until it hit one of the last beats, JetStream jumped up, somehow landing on all four of his hoofs. Since he faded to black, this is where he'll continue, he looked around. There were black silhouetted trees one matter how close you got, and there were stars above him, like a billion tiny light bulbs. He then made his way to the left, JetStream being as observable as always, the stars seemed to shrink and grow dull. JetStream then thought, 'Well, then the opposite may do the opposite.' and he did, the stars then grew in size and became brighter, so he decided to stick to this direction. But he stopped, JetStream could feel the same quivering sensation, there was a mare standing in front of him. They just started at one another, but that figure, that was no normal mare, "Who are you? I've never seen anypony like you before, other than Celestia." she just stood there, JetStream felt it getting awkward.

"What's your name?" she suddenly spoke. It was at a constant pace, but it sounded quite interested. JetStream looked around for a bit, before giving it out.

"My name? I-it's JetStream..." she looked enlightened.

"JetStream... That's a neat name." she smiled. She stood a little taller and continued, "My name is Neurocity Yelm Xenolalia." JetStream raised an eyebrow.

"You don't hear a name like that either..." he scratched his chin. She giggled.

"You can call me, Neurelm, if you wanna." she was gaining a peppy tone. The mare in front of him looked around. JetStream mimicked, having no idea on what to say, "...You need a way out of here?" JetStream suddenly took a step forward.

"Desperately!" She turned in the direction that JetStream was forced to avoid.

"Al-righty! Off we go then." JetStream struck with worry.

"Wait! I got to go back?" She looks at JetStream with a flat expression, it gave JetStream a chill down his spine.

"No, this place is infinite, It's been dubbed, Reverse World... Or Negative, doesn't matter."

"Oh, okay..." he started looking around just incase of a jump-scare, "Uh, excuse me..." she looked back at him.

"Yes?" she answered softly. JetStream swallowed.

"Have you heard a voice before, it sounded ghost-like, and-"

"No, no I have not." she said rather quickly, and sort of like she was unnerved. JetStream looked at the floor.

"Okay then, 'cause I did." After ten minutes of walking and conversation, Neurelm stopped, and a circle of blinding white light was in front of them. Neurelm, looked like she studied it upon it appearing.

"I know how I feel." JetStream rose a hoof.

"Don't you mean-" she walked up and started pushing JetStream toward the blinding light.

"You need to go." JetStream walked up to the portal, but before he entered, "When you meet me... Tell that, she said hi." JetStream turned to Neurelm.

"What does it have to do with?" She looked at the ground, and her horn started glowing a midnight blue, and another formed around JetStream, and soon picked him up, for a split-second he was weightless, "Whoa, what are you doing?"

"... Please, calm down." she was barely struggling, "Get ready and prepare yourself." JetStream eyes widened.

"Ready for wha-...!" A sudden headache shot through, JetStream was sitting on his plot, pushing his fore hoofs hard on the black floor below him, and closing his eyes hard. Neurelm started circling around him, waiting for it to finish.

"I'm giving you a special ability..." her voice was audible, but there was no mouth movement. JetStream just thought without thinking.

"What special ability?" she nodded.

"It seems to work, I'm glad it does." soon enough her horn's glow vanished, "It's called Telepathy, we're using it right now." JetStream opened his eyes, he listened for himself to think like a normal conversation was taking place.

"We... are?" she nodded, "Mmmhmm." she stopped it. JetStream had no other choice, it was her doing anyway.

"Thanks..." JetStream gave, she held her hoof up to his mouth.

"... You should thank me later..." she pushed JetStream into the portal.

"...!" The next visible scene was that he was lying on his right side, exactly where he fell to that awful purple what-evers, "What was that?" he said thinking over what just happened, "And why was she an Alicorn as well, I thought Celestia was the only one... Well anyway..." the fog seemed to clear, "... let's head back!"

~~~Chapter End~~~

JetStream Origins-Chapter 20

Chapter 20: The birth of a plan

Imagine, a forest where everypony tires to avoid on a normal occasion. But, what is that? A rustle here and there? Your standing on the edge of the forest, hoping what ever that noise is wont, in someway, hurt you. It's not a good scene, but anyway, just hopefully I got you in the feeling of things.

A quite forest, there was a town up ahead, and two ponies where walking along the edge of the outer forest, "Really, your going that far to do that?" the second nodded.

"Of course, it's what I feel is right..." the first nodded as well.

"As long as you now you can or cannot do it. As in you're actually able to, if you push to far." the second hesitated.

"I got it, I got it, I know what you mean." the first scratched his head, suddenly, there were rustling in the bushes, "Oh no, what's there." JetStream making his way out of the forest with new found determination, a bright light shone and he jumped, he has made it out, but only to be blinded once more.

"How long was I in there..." stopping to hold his left hoof to his eyes, it all disappeared, and when the light flushed in seconds, he saw two ponies in front of him, both looking like a mix of disturbance and other-world like stares at him, JetStream just went off in the direction he needed to go and ignored their stares, and as soon as he was gone, the first turned to the second.

"Did you see that colt's eyes? I pretty sure I wasn't hallucinating..." the second nodded.

"Yeah, but still, when do you see the eyes of a pony change... But, the blue we saw before, might not have been his normal, the yellow was, but not that blue." the first looked quite annoyed.

"That wasn't blue, it was obviously like some sort of green and blue." the second sighed, "Well, what is it then?"

"Most likely a green-blue color would be turquoise." the first sighed as well.

"Fine, turquoise... And about your goal..." he was cut off.

"What? Are you going to change that alternately too? I'm going... with out you or not." the first rose his hoof.

"That's the same thing!"

"I know!" he replied not even looking back. Then after that was all said and done, the first turned in the opposite direction the second did, nose in the air. They both didn't like the color blue anyway.

JetStream was on the same part of the path he tripped off, hearing the dirt-like gravel getting thrown as he lands a hoof against the ground, he spots a pony on the side lines, most likely working in his yard, JetStream wanted to know the time, and it was still much cloud cover. His galloping went into a fast trot, "Excuse me!" the pony working looked around for the source, "On the trail!" JetStream continued, the stallion turned sharply.

"What is it?!"

"What is the time?!" the stallion scrambled for a watch he owned.

"Three-twenty-one!" and just as JetStream horizontally passed.

"Thank you." he said in a normal tone, and looked ahead of him. The stallion sighed, shook his head, smiling.

"Oh, man! I knew I had a rough estimate, but three o'clock! But wait, a checkpoint is not far from here." JetStream sped up as fast as he could, he noticed in nine seconds that the party was just over the hill, "Then Dad hasn't been there for long!" he was closing up the gap, a couple ponies caught his attention, making JetStream slew down to a trot to, at least, past the group, faces, and murmuring that was suddenly going around. Soon after he finally reached the checkpoint, it looked like a small health center. He found his Dad and they reunited, sharing hugs and finally getting to eat. Myriad rose sat up, looking across the square table.

"Where were you?"

"Lost..." JetStream answered too quickly, "... L-lost in the fun!" he lied assuring.

"You know son, you wouldn't be the best at poker..."

"I know! If only I knew how to play it!" Myriad got a smile on his face and motioned to look around, most ponies being dumbfounded while others were annoyed. He put his forehoofs on his sides.

"You got carried away?" Myriad started teasing. Still looking at the crowd JetStream replied.

"Yeeaahh, I did..." Myriad noticed something, JetStream wasn't sitting at the table. But he seemed to be elevated.

"You have amazing balance by the way." he could hear some distant yeah's and Mmmhmm's. Quickly he understood what he meant and got back down in all fours.

"By the way, did my friends already leave this checkpoint?" his attitude suddenly shifting.

"Yes, a little bit before you got here." JetStream shifted.

"Well, since I did show up like you said... Can I go ahead? Do you mind, I mean."

"Yes, I can count on them to keep track of you." JetStream scoffed.

"Okay Dad, I'll, see you later." Soon after minutes of catching up to do, he finally spots them, "I'm back! Again!" Twister and Colas rolled their eyes in a friendly manor, "Where's Slash?"

"He's still at the checkpoint, didn't you see him?" Colos replied.

"Oh, no... I guess I didn't. Oh, Colos. Do you know the name of that town we just passed?" Colos went to look at it every second so he wont trip.

"No, no I don't. But the forest, or woods we passed is the White Tail Woods." JetStream nodded.

'It seemed like a forest to me.' Suddenly a small headache hit JetStream like a brick wall, "Ah..." 'Yeah, it's a small headache, but getting one in a second hurts so much. And if only a small one hurts like this...'

"JetStream, are you okay?" JetStream nodded.

"I'm going to be okay..." he looked down at the ground than anything else, 'I will find her, Neurelm.' he remembered about finding a pony she said, but suddenly.

I know you will...

"Where are you?" JetStream was talking to more than just himself, there was no answer.

"You, JetStream, are some of the weirdest ponies I'll ever meet..." Twister stated. JetStream sighed.

"I know." he smiled.

~~~Chapter End~~~

JetStream Origins-Chapter 21

Chapter 21: A shy heroine

'Trotting this path is like.. Well, actually I don't know...' he sighed, 'I'm so blank right now.' he looked at the sky, "It's three-fifty-three." he quietly said to himself, The sunset is a couple hours away." So he decided to keep on to thoughts that kept him busy, wanting to see a whole city hooked to the side of a mountain was overwhelming. And then he just froze, never taking his eyes off one spot.

"JetStream... JetStream." A voice was calling to his left, the froze snapped and he looked at who was speaking, it was Colos, "Hey, JetStream, you know that town op ahead?" he tilted his head in the direction of the town.

"... Oh, now I do!" Twister and Colas smiled, "That's Ponyville."

"Yeah, the one you were talking about earlier." Twister stated. The town quickly approached, it looked like a mix of modern and the Viking like buildings with dirt roads, but that's what JetStream thought. He looked around a little more and found something out of the sky.

"Hey, Colos, then what's that?"

"Well that's... That's" Colas cut in.

"It's Cloudsdale! I went there." she shared a happy expression, Colos's eyes widened in shock.

"You went somewhere without me?!" she giggled.

"Yep, guess so."

"When?"

"Two years ago, you know, I went with Dad, you went with Mom." Colos looked unsure, "Well, me and Dad went to Cloudsdale, to go antiquing."

"For what?" Colas motioned her brother to trot closer, she whispered something, "Oh, cool." he reacted, then went back to his position, "Well, that's nice and all, but we saw tons of ponies to meet and greet." he had a good grin on his face, Colas's eyes took a turn.

"Oh, that reminds me, we met ponies in Cloudsdale too."

"What a surprise." Colos muttered.

"And once you get there, it's pretty obvious that you wouldn't see none. The town is actually populated in high numbers and bigger than down here."

"So, what were some of these said ponies you have met?" Colas drifted off, only to catch the track back.

"Well, there was one that had white fur, dark-yellow eyes. He was really nice, he told us where to find certain items, cutting out time there instead of searching for an hour or so." JetStream perked up, "Really?" Twister backed up to gain space.

"What's got into you?" JetStream looked at Twister.

"That may be my Dad." All except Colos, and JetStream lost there balance suddenly, and they had to catch back up.

"Really?" JetStream nodded.

"... Yeah." JetStream looked off somewhere else.

"So your Dad was that Pegasus?" JetStream smiled, "Yeah, I'm pretty sure by now."

"I would like to meet him again, just too bad we didn't stay at the checkpoint... Oh well."

"I'm pretty sure they left by now." JetStream pointed out. After a little bit of trotting they got to the edge of Ponyville, but suddenly an object in the sky, seemed to be falling from clouds up above so high. And with out another second, "Oh! Oh no!" he felt like he didn't know, but knew it anyway. Like knowing it was there but pretend to not see it, but he knew that wasn't the case. Galloping as fast as he could to the doom of who or whatever this is, every second was closer to the impact, his and... her... heart must be racing, she finally came into view. A Pegasus pony was falling to Earth, 'Maybe her wings are hurt, or even broken.' But that didn't matter at the time, he needed the softest impact for her as possible. So getting ever so close, JetStream jumped, luckily grabbing her just so he landed on the ground first, hoping the grass is a cushion itself, and landing on the grass still had dew on it, due to nopony being out here, "Aghh...!" and they slid a good distance, as soon as they stopped, the yellow-cream filly, got up, then offered JetStream up as well.

"A-are you okay?" even though she was saved, she was still really sensitive and shy. JetStream reached for her hoof.

"Yes, I'm okay." 'Me and the grass have been arguing for the past week.' JetStream mentally sighed, and the pony went to the same position, standing, one hoof crossing over the other, her head tilted forward making her mane hang over her eyes, "Are you okay?" she jumped.

"Y-yes I am, a little hurt, but it would've been worse if it weren't for you." JetStream blushed, and noticed her tone differ.

"Yeah, you're welcome... So, anyway I'll see you later, if we do that is." the filly nodded.

"Yeah, if we do." she echoed, but just before JetStream took off, "Oh, I didn't catch my, hero's, name." JetStream's muzzle went purple instantly.

"I-It's JetStream-" he suddenly inhaled, "W-what's your-" She suddenly jolted.

"Oh my! I got to go. I'll see you later." JetStream laughed unwillingly.

"Yeahyoutoo." she giggled. She then flew back up to the clouds, when she was out of sight, JetStream quickly exhaled, and his purple tint vanished, "Judging from that attitude she had... she warmed up quickly." he stated to himself, getting shivers, he then turned around and ran toward the route, but then he heard a voice he hasn't before.

"I'd agree with you there." JetStream rose an eyebrow.

"What do you mean?"

"I've been in Ponyville for a while, a long while. What you said 26 seconds ago was true." JetStream looked at the path.

"Oh, okay." JetStream soaked it up and continued toward the path.

~~~Chapter End~~~

JetStream Origins-Chapter 22

Chapter 22: The Sonic Rainboom

JetStream started running toward the path to catch up to the group once again. He caught one last look of Ponyville, standing on the dirt path, "Well if I am to return..." he laughed slightly, "That would be great." The point of view was excellent, " Cloudsdale-... Canterlot!" There it was on the mountain waiting for him to explore, a place for Earth ponies, for Pegasi, and for Unicorns, "It's a place for any and everypony." he nodded and followed the road once again, and for that short moment, his Aura went yellow, and quickly back to blue.

Meanwhile, Colas couldn't get that picture out of her head, "I hope that whatever it was is okay." Colos reassured himself, Colas nodded in agreement.

"I hope that, we hope that JetStream okay as well." Twister looked at the sky, anxious, Colos and his sister looked at him, then looked at each other with heart warming smiled. Despite that noise of pony chatter, they soon heard hooves faster than others, Twister turned around

"...JetStream!"

"Hey..."

"I'm soo glad you're alright, and he/she or it safe?" Colos asked.

"A Pegasus pony; Yes, she's safe." Colos and Colas nodded.

"Alright." they said in unison.

KRAA-BOOOOOMM!

JetStream felt his chest become heavy, he felt something, like a burning presence, like seeing a red fire against the background, soon after he felt a the second, it was purple, then after some time he felt six points, "What is that!?" Colos took in what he was seeing.

"A-a sonic rainboom." he said in complete awe. The all stopped their progress to see it continuously expand as the seconds pass, "They-they are extremely rare." JetStream looked at him, motioning to answer his question, "Sonic rainboom's are an occurrence when a pony breaks the sound barrier, or basically go fast enough."

"How fast?" JetStream eye's sparkled.

"Around, er, 760 miles per hour." JetStream turned back to where rainbow was.

"Wow." Soon after, the rainbow faded, "Can anypony do them?" JetStream wanted to ask.

"Yeah, but pegasi are more common." right then and there, he decided to learn about it more.

"And maybe I'll be able to do it as well." Colos looked at him.

"Not very likely, but-" Colas interrupted.

"But I'd lov- like for you to try..." JetStream smiled.

"Thanks for the enthusiasm." she nodded.

"You are welcome." Colos looked around.

"Uhh, let's get going."

"Alright." everyone agreed. That was on of the best experiences he thinks he'd
ever have.

~~~Chapter End~~~

JetStream Origins-Chapter 23

Chapter 23: Afternoon hunches

Everypony was looking at the sky for the past five minutes, it was a mix of afternoon and a little but of violet, being around 4pm.

"The sky gets better every time I see it." JetStream nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, I can't wait a certain time of day." Talking about the sky reminded him of something, 'The Glassed Hill... That's some of my reasons to get back home.' JetStream smiled. Soon they heard a voice, most of the group turned around.

"Oh, Slash, long time no see." Colos called out.

"Long time no see." Twister said.

"Long time no see, Slash." Colas. JetStream jumped up out of irritation.

"Alright, I get it!" Everyone went quite instantly.

"Soo, Slash." Twister asked, he quickly looked to the front.

"Oh, what?"

"Where were you the past 50 minutes?" Everypony in the group got interested.

"I was back at the Checkpoint, been there longer than I thought..." JetStream laughed.

"That's what I thought."

"Oh really?"

"Yep." JetStream put his nose in the air. It was quite for a little longer, more clouds started rolling in, covering most of the sky. While the other ponies were worried about what might be ahead, Colos and JetStream saw something different, they saw streaks of light that were pouring through the openings of the clouds.

"You see them too?" Colos looked at him. JetStream nodded.

"I sure do." Soon after the others looked at the sky.

"Hey brother, you weren't bothered by those dull, grey clouds up there?" Colos sneered.

"Well, I hope you're not afraid of clouds like those, but still, if it was a higher risk situation, I'd want you to remember to look past the danger, looking

and/or acting stronger than what might destroy you, it's your choice, and you will get rewarded for it."

"Right, brother... You're really independent." Colos laughed.

"True, and I'll never say anything less about you." JetStream leaned toward Twister.

"They are really honest about one another..." Twister nodded.

"And, oh so kind."

"But yeah, brother and sister, I guess you and I wont expect it another way."

"Uhh, guys..." Everypony in the group turned to Slash, he was pointing behind him, "Who's he?"

"Hello!" the pony suddenly sprouted, and he suddenly appeared in the middle of the group, instantly everypony got there own space. He was a unicorn, his fur was pitch black. This interested JetStream, as he finds himself in the studies of colors.

"Who are you?" JetStream asked out of curiosity, that question almost never comes out friendly.

"That's not important right now, and besides, you're meeting some~~bo~~ pony new." he gave a sheepish smile. And he could finally see his eyes, they were a muddy blue, staring into those eyes, gave JetStream worry for some reason unknown by him, something had sparked. The dark pony was getting worried himself, "Are you okay, JetStream?" Suddenly serious and calm.

"Oh yeah, I'm fine" he laughed lightly, "just thinking about things. Wait... what? How do you know my name??" The ponies worries suddenly got drastically worried.

"Wellitwasgoodseeingyouallbye!" JetStream went to catch up, but before he disappeared over the horizon behind him, Jetstream saw something unusual.

"Wait... what?" he looked at the pony, then at the sun indirectly, "... That pony has no shadow... And how did he know my name??"

"I'm pretty sure you were seeing things." Everypony stated except Slash.

"Don't worry JetStream, I believe you..." JetStream's mood improved.

"Really, Slash, than-!!

"'Cause that's awesome! A pony who could pull a trick like that!" Those words echoed in JetStream's mind.

'A trick...' JetStream sighed, "Yeah, maybe you're right Slash, he was a Unicorn after all... But still I can't get over something..." Twister moved along side of JetStream.

"Eh ,don't worry about it. Maybe you can think it over some time later anyway." he smiled. JetStream sighed once again.

"Heh, yeah alright." 'He's really good at helping somepony mentally make it off their hoofs.' "Whoa!" Colos got his attention, pointing upwards.

"JetStream, look up and check it out, the path splits up ahead!... And there seems to be ponies on the side lines, and some with the top of the hill with cameras." JetStream rose an eyebrow.

"Why do you think they have those?"

"Well, if I can remember it correctly, a the very beginning of this, it is an annual thing, so they might be recording it?"

"Hmm, all right." JetStream got pumped and nervous at both. 'Oh, man. It's about time we reached it!' His heart started racing. He either passes it, getting much attention, or gets back up on the ground with the help of Pegasi.

Meanwhile,
The castle was quite, a guard was walking into her throne room, "Your view, Highness." he handed a small screen.

"You seem a little late, yes?" The guard nodded, uneasy.

"... Yes, I know your highness." she smiled.

"Alright then, that is all I need." The guard bowed.

"Thank you your Highness."

~~~Chapter End~~~

JetStream Origins-Chapter 24

Chapter 24: The Spark

'...Alright...' JetStream was focused on the fork in the road ahead, he then slew down, and the others had to look back.

"What are you doing JetStream?" Colos rose an eyebrow, JetStream looked around a bit, staggering on a choice of words.

"I'm preparing!" He had to stay confident.

"... For what?" Colos was looking around as something would pop up, "Oh well.' JetStream gritted.

"You'll see.." Soon after JetStream was starting to concentrate, 'I need to sync with the power and feeling one more time! I need to achieve it!' JetStream had to ignore the looks he was getting, astonishment and/or disturbment, he wanted to get this down, now he needs to test it. Suddenly, after a little while of concentration, something caught Colos's attention.

"Everypony, look at that. There's something with JetStream." JetStream looked at himself.

"That must be the magic... kicking in, I'm really close!" Twister recoiled, as did Colas.

"Wait... magic, as in Unicorns?" All JetStream did was smirk.

"Wow..." All of a sudden, JetStream's forehead was taken with a color, it was empty a couple seconds ago.

'Don't lose it, Don't lose it!' There, right on his forehead, was an Aura that shaped a horn, and within the feeling JetStream was trying to pursue, "... I reached it!"

"Reached what!?" the others asked in unison, but JetStream didn't answer, soon after the same color light that flowed around his imaginary horn, it engulfed him, and then it instantly cleared. Except that now JetStream's Aura was clearly visible, and it's color was the same from before.

'And with this...!' JetStream got closer and closer, until, he jumped for the cloud in front of him, totally ignoring the drop below, he closed his eyes, just in case. Imagine it, in your vision, was an Earth pony jumping for a cloud, a cloud to land on. JetStream felt the wind grew cold quickly, a second after another, like it was all going in slow-motion, approaching the cloud, foot after another. He opened his eyes and in seconds he touched the cloud. The magic erupted a bit and everypony looked away, except the camera ponies, they could not believe what they were seeing.

"... Oh, my Celestia..."

JetStream was running on the cloud, no horn, no wings, 'Alright, I got this far, now let's finish it...' JetStream continued without a problem, but the only worry that JetStream had was the cloud, it was solid, but it had a softness to it that it felt like he was going to sink. He reached the jump for the final, 'One... Two... Three!' and he jumped just to make the shot back to solid ground. He turned back to what he did, he crossed one-fourth of a mile of cloud. Although, he was successful, he was tired out of his wits, but he did have to wait for his friends, who weren't far behind.

There, he was, or me either way. The Earth pony of the second millinery, using magic. I can't really say for how lucky I've been, but on the other hoof, It's been fun telling you my life so far... But if you get the full picture, that'll be great for reasons of later to understand... So! That is NOT the conclusion! I want to tell more until the present day, and besides, this ones only the beginning!
See you then!

~~~Chapter End~~~

JetStream Origins-Chapter 25

Chapter 25: The art of Influence

JetStream stood there, awaiting his friends to catch up, everypony's mouths were wide open, Twister was first to speak.

"JetStream..." JetStream scratched the back of his, blushing at the thought of what he just pulled off. Slash and Colas rushed to the side of Twister.

"It was amazing that you actually pulled it off!" JetStream nodded.

"Yeah, I actually had a little doubt my self..." he laughed nervously, he laughed off the stress from before events. Colos was the last to show up.

"Amazing, JetStream!" he laughed, "You should've seen the look on the spectating ponies... but the camera ponies looked like they were talking about something..." JetStream shrugged.

"Believe it or not, I only did it for my own being, not for attention... But thanks for the warning." JetStream smiled.

...

'Oh, Neurelm, what is it?'

... You better get a move on, no time should be wasted.

'Yeah, okay Neurelm.' JetStream nodded. He cleared his throat, "Yeah, so, should we continue now?" Everyone nodded except Slash.

"It seems like you're talking to somepony in your mind, why are you pausing all the time?" he started walking to JetStream, which in turn, made him uneasy, and started to take a step back every step forward Slash made. Colos trotted to the side of them.

"I'm pretty sure that's not it..." he sounded like he knew he was too late, he was. JetStream stopped right in front of him.

"Give me some space will you? Maybe you're the one we have to worry about, that is, if we even do." Slash instantly stopped, he saw a force, but it wasn't JetStream doing the talking.

"Alright, alright... I can take a hint." JetStream took steps away from him, shocked.

'Neurelm, why did you say that!?... How did you do that?' the voice laughed in a light tone.

... Don't worry, I didn't say that, apparently you did. JetStream's eyes widened.

"What?" JetStream realized he said that aloud, "Uhhh" he looked at the others, "sorry for the sudden outburst." he laughed light heartedly. Twister's confusion disappeared instantly.

"Okay then, let's go."

"Yeah." the others agreed together. And soon they were heading off, Canterlot was visible now.

"Jeez, that's really high, I think I'll get dizzy." Colas stated, she deliberately started stumbling left and right, until she bumped into her brother.

"Colas, cut that out." Colos looked slightly annoyed.

"Sorry, I was only trying to be fun." Colos blushed.

"Uhh, fun..." Colas giggled.

"Never mind..." and like that his blush was gone.

'Come on Neurelm! That was a bit unnecessary.'

... I'm only trying to help. JetStream blew raspberries.

'...Trying... And what did you mean by, I didn't say that?'

...

JetStream sighed and continued, "Oh, Colos, do you know how long it will take to get to Canterlot?" Colos looked to the path ahead, turning to JetStream.

"Roughly an hour and a half."

"Alright, actually, wouldn't it be past sundown by then?"

"Well it's maybe around four o'clock so..."

"Four-thirty-eight?" JetStream answered quickly, Colos ignored the correction.

"So ,yeah it will be."

"Cool, I can't wait for the view down below as soon as we get up there!" JetStream stated in mid-air.

JetStream Origins-Chapter 26

Chapter 26: The Bonding Session

As they were reaching the top of a hill, Twister seemed to spot something over the horizon, "Is that the next Checkpoint?" he turned to Slash.

"Probably, but like I would know..." Colos decided to look ahead, and nodded.

"Uh, yeah, that's a Checkpoint." Twister continued.

"But the question is..." he asked raising a hoof, "Are we staying?"

"Yup." JetStream said flatly, everypony in the group suddenly looked at him, "I would like to loosen up a bit." Colas nodded.

"I'd agree to that. What about you, Colos?" Her brother looked to the sky, but how could he refuse her own sister in this kind of situation.

"Yeah, I don't mind..." they both looked at each other with loving eyes. JetStream felt easy on what he was seeing.

"We-well, alright... let's go ahead then..." It was built like the last Checkpoint, but it seemed smaller than the last one, but there was barely any other pony around, especially how far they are, Twister turned to JetStream while he was grabbing something to eat.

"So... JetStream... What were you thinking about doing here in the first place, why we're here?" JetStream lightly tapped his forehoofs together and shrugged.

"I don't know." everypony fell down suddenly.

"Then why did you, or we, stop here?"

"It felt right at the second..." Colos was scratching his head, wondering the decision turned out.

"Well, on the other hoof, I think it wasn't a bad choice at all..." JetStream got up, and preceded to the front double doors, Colos just stared at him, "...Was it something I said?" JetStream shook his head, still looking outside.

"No I just, I would like to see outside without any further progress, I'll go once you all are ready..." Twister peered at him.

"That's the JetStream I know, always wanting to see the sights, including the sky's natural beauty." Everypony looked at him.

"Where did that come from?" he just shrugged. The doors swung open, and closed back up.

JetStream sighed, "That's not the reason..."

... Am I invited?

JetStream sighed one again, "As usual, sure." JetStream got a good look at the sky, and thankfully for it being barely lit, "Oh, wow... The moon is already up..."

... Are you not surprised?

"Well, I've always seen it at this position, at this time... just not as often, Neurelm."

... And yet it's not a surprise to me, if I do say so myself.

JetStream sat there, gazing at the sky, "Uh, if you don't mind me asking, Neurelm."

...

"What did you mean by that? How is it not surprising to you, Neurelm?"

... Sorry, I wasn't supposed to say that anyway...

"Alright then..."

... Anyway... I got a favor...

JetStream perked up, "...Anything..." he felt off saying that right off the bat.

... How about we start anew? Back to where we met in the forest, I feel very bad for treating you this way, and acting the exact opposite as I did in the forest...

JetStream felt stunned, literally stunned, "Oh, yeah sure, whatever it is, Neurelm." he held a confident smile.

... Thanks... I know this is going to work... perfectly...

JetStream broke the awkward silence, "... Okay then, let's go back inside." JetStream got his last look at the moon, eyes glowing the same blue before fading back to yellow again as he took his eyes off the moon. Soon, JetStream was back in the lit Checkpoint, Colos turned around, when he noticed.

"JetStream finally! It's been almost ten minutes." Slash scoffed.

"He must be thinking that if we're really friends..." Twister gave him a stare.

"Well, you can go if you want to." Colas bumped next to Twister.

"But we're more than happy if you stay." JetStream was looking at the group from a good distance away.

"Are we ready to go yet?"

"Eeyup." Colos replied. Colas nodded.

"Alright! You know it." Twister was the only one jumping around. Slash just shrugged.

"Eh, yeah sure... And you, JetStream?"

"A million times, yes!" JetStream was the last to answer.

~~~Chapter End~~~

JetStream Origins-Chapter 27

Chapter 27: To Mountain Notia!

The sky was blue, recently it had just started red, "Soon the sky will have stars, just like every night." Colas was staring in awe as she saw the vibrant colors of the sky that show just like the water that reflects it, she chuckled, "And soon, we'll be even closer!" Colos nodded.

"You got that right." They both shared happy faces, JetStream got worried, but laughed it off.

"How are we even getting up there? The only way I've seen is by carriage..." Twister smiled.

"There's a path on the side of the mountain, it's not very wide, and steep too." He looked back at the mountain, and thought for a bit before he could think of something .

"... I wonder how the mountain got its name... Mount. Notia..."

...

JetStream felt it wasn't so quite all of a sudden, 'Yes, what is it, Neurelm?'

... Nothing you can grasp that's for sure...

The voice sounded rather depressed, 'Oh, well if it bothers you too much, Neurelm, just let me know...' Twister noticed JetStream's blind stare.

"Hey, JetStream..." he looked wherever he was looking, "Did something catch your eye?" JetStream snapped back to reality.

"Oh, y-yeah." JetStream laughed. Twister smiled.

"Alright." Colos turned to the both of them, and pointed ahead of them.

"Look, the mountain is just up ahead." JetStream jumped for joy.

"Yes! I can finally see my Mom again!" Colas's eyes widened.

"Your Mom's up there!?" JetStream chuckled and nodded.

"Yeah, she is."

"Cool, I'd really like to meet her..." Colos turned to JetStream.

"What is she doing at Canterlot then?" JetStream had to think hard for this, all the way back to the beginning.

"Well, she was asked to help put up the finish decoration, with other ponies. But the reason is, she actually decided to go because, one, she loves decorating, and two, she apparently was asked by Celestia, and so were the other ponies that were also asked to help." All of them were shocked.

"Really!? Celestia?!" They were all looking at one another, JetStream nodded and smiled.

"Yeah, and how come I never heard this pony before?"

"I'm surprised you haven't heard of Celestia!" JetStream was getting nervous.

"I-I know her position, I just don't really know her in the first place." JetStream was sheepish, he was blushing a little too. Colos was next, instantly in the heat of conversation.

"Not the position, the position. She has, no, is the highest roll in all of Equestria!" It seems like they might be doubting him.

"Alright, I get it."

...

'Huh, you got anything to tell me about this, Neurelm?'

... I know too much...

JetStream rose an eyebrow, "If you say so." The mountain still approached as they went further, the four got optimistic like there was no finite tomorrows. JetStream gasped in sudden realization, "The mountain's huge!" they were all taking in the sight.

"Yeah, this mountain scales for about two to four miles." JetStream turned to him.

"What?! Wow..." they approached the incline up the mountain.

"Well, is everypony ready to start the mountain climb?"

"Yes we are." they all said in unison, then all four sped up for the top of Mount. Notia.

~~~Chapter End~~~

JetStream Origins-Chapter 28

Chapter 28: Mountain Climb: Notia

The view of Canterlot got increasingly better by the minute, "Wow, you can see a little more every time you look down!" JetStream pointed out, but if he literally did, he would more than likely fall, he was at the edge of the side with Twister, while Colos and Colas was more near the inside of the turns. Twister looked to the insiders.

"You guys are missing the view." Colos wasn't sure on how to respond.

"... I rather not be missing anything..." he got out with a light chuckle, Colas nodded in agreement. Twister looked over to JetStream.

"Hey, JetStream, why don't we just slow down, I want it to build until we got to the top!" JetStream cocked his head.

"What do yo- oh, yeah I'm fine with that." After a while of looking around aimlessly, Colos gained the erge to finally open his mouth.

"JetStream..." JetStream turned suddenly with a smile, the warm red-yellow sun behind him.

"Yeah."

"I can't help but to notice, but your Cutie Mark..." JetStream's eyes widened, he looked back at his flank.

"Oh, yeah... I don't know what my talent is yet..." Colos looked like he mentally retreated.

"Sorry, if I hurt you... in... some... way..." JetStream decided to laugh it off, surprising Colos.

"No, it's alright... In my opinion, waiting for it is the best part..." he put his hoof on his chin, and then slightly jumped, "yeah... everypony deserves their talent, and everypony gets it, accident or not... I like to think of it as, well, like a quest or adventure... And once you're done, you do it more because it's your talent, your fate... fate..." something of that word shook him, like an avalanche, "... And I wouldn't want it any other way!" JetStream was tearing up, but had a noticeable smile, every single one tear, shining the suns beauty. Twister softly nudged JetStream.

"You alright? That... that was amazing." JetStream looked at Colos, he nodded grinning, Colas, on the other hoof, was leaping.

"Inspirational." JetStream looked to the ground, then back at the sunset to the left of them.

"Thanks..."

"That's what friends are for." Colos replied, Twister and Colas nodded at one another. JetStream went ahead and dried up the left over running tears streaming down the side of his muzzle, "These will be forever some of the best memories we'll have, ever." JetStream nodded.

"For sure."

Suddenly, a swift dark cloud rushed by, bringing rain with it, "Hey! That cloud!" he pointed at the object above them, looking at the others. Twister got a good look.

"Yeah, I see it, it looks like it's on a course for Ponyville too." JetStream just looked down, noticing that small town on the ground below.

"... Ponyville, I actually want to go there sometime in the future." Colos smiled, Twister otherwise, looked like he wanted to add something, "Oh, what is it, Twister?"

"It is a nice, little town, but when it comes to the ponies that live there..."

"... Is it something bad?" Twister shook his head.

"No, just hyperactive..."

"What?"

"I heard that Slash met a pony who was way over energetic."

"Oh, thanks for the warning." JetStream perked up.

"What warning?" Twister scratched the back of his head.

"Some pony the Slash met, I didn't catch his or her name, but, you know."

"Oh, and I know Slash got a little behind, but, where is he exactly?" Colos laughed.

"I heard that his parents wanted him to stay with them, since we're getting to the end and all." JetStream nodded.

"Yeah, they might be planning to leave once they finish, I understand that... But where to?" Colos shrugged.

"Beats me... Altamare maybe?" JetStream shrugged as well. Then sudden realization washed over him, dampening his mood.

"Where are you guys going after this is over?" Colas jumped in again.

"Oh, com' on, JetStream, you know we really won't be gone. I've been watching, and your spirit seems strong enough." she reassured.

...

'Neurelm...' JetStream didn't feel right about that. Colos was shocked of what he just heard.

"Oh, wow, Sis... I've never heard you speak like that." Colas struck a pose.

"Yeah, I'm full of surprises." Everypony laughed after it. And since they were a mile closer, they should be able to get to top before they knew it, but we don't know it till we know it.

~~~Chapter End~~~

JetStream Origins-Chapter 29

Chapter 29: Unknown Run-ins

Within moments, JetStream was jumping around, trying to bunny hop as high as he could, "Do you see it yet? We're almost there, but yet so far." he suddenly got down to a kneeling position, Colas lifted her left forehoof to avoid contact.

"You waited all along for this to happen? And now you're like this?" she pointed to the pony in question, in which JetStream instantly recovered, and dusted himself off. Then he stood in the most, right, way he could.

"How... About this?" Colos rolled his eyes, Colas motioned toward Twister, and answered with a flat.

"... Meh." he shrugged. JetStream then went back to himself.

"I'll practice that later." he had an uneasy smile, looking through out the crowd, Colas chuckled.

"You know what they say, practice makes perfect." JetStream suddenly stopped, and looked at Colas.

"Uhh, JetStream." the other two were staring at each other in confusion.

"Actually" JetStream rose his hoof matter-of-factly, "while that is great enthusiasm, Colas, I think practice makes better, not perfect..." JetStream just shrugged after seconds passed, he was expecting to get skeptical looks, "Heh, but you know... What ever you want is great!" Colas just nodded like she won a brotherly argument.

"I agree..." she gave JetStream a smug smile, in which made him sigh.

Soon after minute upon minute, they have finally reached their destination, and soon, the front gates of gold was in sight.

"Wow! There was more decorating then at the beginning." JetStream looked everywhere he possibly could.

"Yeah, no wonder they were asking for ponies help..."

There was Canterlot, the city hung on the side of a mountain, it seemed to have many different colored bricks, and the castle was some distance away from where the city's entrance was.

'I guess that's where Celestia is...' JetStream seemed to notice it rather quickly, "The castle is right up there." the other three looked to where JetStream was pointing.

"Well, it's actually up there... And I can barely see it..." Colos looked to JetStream with a smirk, "And you say this is your first time here?" JetStream nodded.

"Or anywhere, oh by the way, this... Plaza, where is that anyway?" Colas scratched her chin.

"A Plaza is like... It's like some sort of thing where it's an open space, with a flat area..." Colos laughed and turned to JetStream.

"A Plaza is usually a large area where a good amount of ponies can meet..." JetStream nodded.

"Oh, okay so that's why they chose the Plaza." Colos gave a shake of a head.

"Yeah... And actually while we get there, there maybe some things to talk about." JetStream rose an eyebrow.

"Uhh, like what?" Colos seemed to wonder a bit.

"Oh ,like there are guards all the time right there in front of us, where the gate is..." JetStream agreed instantly, but them turned to Colos again.

"Yeah, but, then why aren't they here." Colos shrugged.

"It's probably not one of those times."

"I wonder if we'll get to see Celestia." All four of them shrugged, and laughed.

...

Soon, the four of them reached the outside of the gate, "Wow! They look like they're made of gold." Somepony noticed a while back from them, JetStream turned around, to take another look since he never did, and just as they crossed the gate.

"Yeah, I actually never noticed tha-" he suddenly slew down incredibly, he felt like he was walking in to a thick bubble, he had to physically push his way through, making it tough to pass through, when he finally turned around, he was panicked, "Y-you guys... How did you slide right through that!?" Twister looked around.

"Walked through what? We just passed the gate, that's all..." JetStream's eyes were still wide open, he looked over to the side across from them, ponies were passing with ease, no trouble whatsoever. He bit his lip, and just walked back to his friends.

"Well, it was hard to pass through... air..." JetStream kept walking.

"Are you sure you're just joking around, com' on, JetStream..." JetStream grew worried.

"Eh, let's just... go."

Meanwhile, up on the highest room in the castle, JetStream was to see, a white figure appeared, and she moved herself to see the finishing of what she put together, through a little telescope. She had a smile on her face, and with her natural, soft tone.

"... So that's who's been having fun lately."

~~~Chapter End~~~

JetStream Origins-Chapter 30

Chapter 30: In Canterlot we stay(For now)

With every hoofstep, JetStream's heart beat twice, "It's so epic to finally be in a place like this." It was sure a sight to behold. The sunset was painting red all over the purples, yellows, whites, and every other color you could pick out. Colos relaxed his eyes.

"Yeah, I'll admit. I wonder what the town will look like if we're up there." he pointed to the tallest room in the tallest tower. All the others nodded. Soon as they got closer to the heart of the city, more ponies were visible, walking and roaming the streets either walking, doing erans, or just taking in the scenery, maybe get some fresh air. JetStream was giddy with excitement.

'I can't wait for what this place has to offer. What do you think, Neurelm?'

... It has, changed...

'Hmm, okay.' JetStream then sparked out of the conversation, it's like everything physical is just a grey, blank, environment when they are talking to one another, making everything normal in to view when they finish. Colas nudged Colos.

"There's the Plaza, right up there." Colos, Twister, and JetStream looked ahead of them, JetStream saw a small dot, to him it seemed to burn with a passion.

"... Hey... I think that's my Mom, I can see my Mom." All the others looked like they just saw a ghost, JetStream saw all of their looks, "... Well, maybe see isn't the right word..."

"You got to be kidding..." Twister was the one that took the most drama, JetStream felt like he shrunk.

"Well, maybe sensed, not seen..." They all just stared, JetStream shook his head, "Well, the Plaza is just ahead, I can't believe this is over."

"Yeah." they agreed in unison. Everypony went on for a little longer until Twister decided to break the silence.

"Alright, since this is over... Anypony got their favorite part of this whole thing?" JetStream suddenly was filled with embarrassment, hesitantly spoke.

"What was your favorite part!" Everypony looked at him, replying with a sheepish smile. Twister motioned the moving in his eyes.

"Well, I'll have to say, the whole thing." he was satisfied with what he said.

"... And specifically?" JetStream said slowly. Twister grew nervous.

"Uh, the green grass... yes, the grass, it's oh-so green, a-and colorful..." Colos and Colas were dumbfounded, JetStream was smiling like he got somepony in trouble for what he did.

"Alright." giving a few chuckles to ease the tension.

"What about you two?" Twister recovered quickly. The red and blue duo looked at one another.

"Mine was seeing the flowers on the way here, but mostly the scenery." Colas turned to Colos.

"... Oh, well mine is... is, that I'm always happy to see new cities and places I haven't been to yet." Colos stared at Colas, "I haven't been to." he repeated. Colas laughed, JetStream had to think quickly.

'Well, that filly I saved...' JetStream sank down a little, '... yeah, her.' Everypony was already looking at him, which made him jump, "Well, that filly I saved." JetStream hoped it came out right. They just stood there for a second, then they all got cheery expression on their faces.

"Yeah, that took some courage, and bravery." JetStream nodded, he had a small blush.

'Not that I would want to brag of course, I'm proud that I did that...' JetStream sighed, "Yeah...".

Soon they reached the Plaza, it had almost every one out of two parents, and they were all generous enough for their help. Colos and Colas soon found their Dad, helping with the more, dirty, work. Twister met up again wit his Mom, and JetStream still waited to meet his Mom again. Then something hit JetStream.

'Wait a minute... Let me try that again...' he focused, that feeling when he felt Corolla's, presence. He found something of a blue burning color around a pony, and soon to realize, he ran toward this pony "Mom."

"Welcome back honey." he heard that same sweet voice, they hugged after quite some time, he was so glad to see his Mom after some time. Corolla looked around.

"Where's your Dad?" she looked back to her son, he scratched the back of his head.

"I was ahead, talking with friends..." She nodded.

"Alright, that's good to hear, Oh, and go ahead and meet with your friends again before they leave, I don't want them to leave without you saying goodbye." JetStream nodded instantly, soon there was hard hoofs hitting cobble, "... I'm back."

Colos and Colas turned around, "Oh, JetStream, why are you over here?"

"I came to say bye." he smiled. Colas nodded.

"Yeah, we'll see you later also, so, I guess it's a bye from us too." Suddenly a pony came to view and was walking toward the group.

"Oh, I see you got somepony with you?" Colos turned to this pony.

"Yeah Dad." JetStream turned to face them both, "This is JetStream."

"Well, hello there, JetStream."

"Hi." showing a sheepish smile, Colos continued.

"JetStream, this is my Dad, Color Contrast."

"It's nice to meet you." he nodded.

"You too." Colas turned to JetStream.

"Well, since that's out of the way, where you going now, JetStream?" He shook his head.

"I don't know, I'll have to ask..."

"Alright, but we're heading to Altamare." JetStream nodded.

"I understand that, we probably are too." Suddenly something caught the father's attention.

"Alright let's go, I see they're taking us back with carriages." he turned to JetStream once more, "Well I guess we, or should I say they will see you again, goodbye." JetStream waved to the three disappearing behind doors.

"Goodbye you all, I'll see you when I get back!"

"We'll be waiting!" And soon, there were off to Altamare. JetStream then turned to go back to Corolla, but it turns out that Myriad has already returned.

"Hey Mom, where are we going anyway?" Mother and Father both looked at him.

"Here." they answered, with smiles. JetStream's eyes widened.

"Really, why?" he was excited and clueless at one time.

"We're only here for the night, but we thought is would be interesting to stay here for while." JetStream's eyes seemed to sparkle, like water in suns light.

"Awesome."

Meanwhile. She couldn't handle her own interests, especially to some, certain desserts, but other than that, she wanted to meet the family, and she knew how, those letters she got back have the ponies names on them, that helped, now all she had to do was write it.

'Dear, Mrs. Shine...'

~~~Chapter End~~~

JetStream Origins-Chapter 32

Chapter 32: Nightmare Fuel

Moments with shutting his eye, his body going motionless, Everything gets really quite, but yet, JetStream knew he could hear something, like a voice, in this dark void of a shut eye, and the feeling, it was really comforting, like wrapping in a blanket on a winter night, 'There's nothing like a dark, warm, loving embrace like this...' JetStream soon realized that it was him thinking.

'... Oh, no. There's not...' JetStream jerked his neck quickly, he suddenly gritted his teeth and felt a sensation around his neck, maybe a little too fast, looking around he finally got a view, he was standing in a dark void, standing, the sense of touch with his blanket was completely gone.

"Who are you?" he saw and looked at a shadow-like figure in front of him, raising an eyebrow.

'I'm the character you met in the forest, don't you remember me? ... I certainly remember you...' JetStream slightly recoiled.

'O-oh, yeah. Neurelm... What are you doing here?' JetStream asked in full curiosity, suddenly tips of trees were visible as they all rose from the ground, extending to full height trees, he found himself in a forest, it also looked like the one before, JetStream's thoughts started unraveling, "Actually, why are you still following me? I thought you were only helping me through the forest, which again I will thank you for..." It was a minute's silence.

'Who's to say that you were following me? And besides, I've taken a liking toward you." JetStream held a hoof low.

'But for what reason?'

'...' This silence dragged on a while longer. JetStream then decided to walk until he woke up, '... And where do you think you're going?' JetStream took a deep breath, and with an optimistic expression replied.

"I'm just going to take a walk until I wake up... This is something all right, you did this, correct? I'm really impressed, in some sort of respect, I can't really tell if this is actually a dream or not." The shadow figure seemed to stop, those words were echoing in its mind, This is some dream, I'm really impressed... it snapped back.

'You're just trying to flatter me.' JetStream looked up, wherever the figure maybe.

'Well, I hope I'm not, I don't mean any misunderstandment... Maybe, we can look into being friends...' he looked around simultaneously, 'Because this isn't what I, or anypony, would like to see from another.' There the words echo again, I don't mean any misunderstandment, Maybe we can be friends, the figure was at a loss of words, but only to mutter.

'Constellation?' JetStream heard, turning to the source of the voice.

"What?" It seemed to be too busy in its speechlessness, 'Alright fine, I wont ask too many questions.' The entity was full of storming thoughts, those phrases seemed to hook on to its memories, it was calm, then everything was quickly delving into anger, and he could feel it, warming the air around him, almost up to uncomfortable levels, "Is this even a dream!" JetStream finally worded the sentence he wanted, suddenly and as quick as JetStream could see it, a shadow of some darkened part of the ground was moving along just below the surface, but before JetStream could react, the figure was right in front of his muzzle, the image of a mare staring him down with only the head and neck visible was staring him down.

"I will decide that!" it quickly rushed toward him, JetStream closed his eyes and put his two forehoofs in front of him, everything went white, and then went dark again. JetStream was struggling, but on the outside he was quivering, something shook him awake, and the next thing he could see was the hotel room's ceiling.

JetStream flung up from the covers, he was cold all over, "Okay, JetStream. Keep your mind together." he reassured himself, he noticed the blanket, "Oh... I'm so thirsty. Why am I so thirsty?" he then preceded to the kitchen, he saw the sink with a mirror above it. The kitchens were nicely decorated, it made the room feel nice and stuffy. He grabbed one cup from the pile stuck together, and went to turn the left knob to the left, then turned it right back, and started to gulp the water down, "Ah, water has never tasted so good." as he drank, the liquid in the cup had to make JetStream tilt it more at an angle, it continued until he saw his reflection.

Which resulted in a spit take.

"Since when were my eyes blue!" he silently yelled, he kept looking at his own eyes, disregarding how long he has been up. After some time, he finally turned the light off and headed for his bed, "Tomorrow better cut me some slack..." he shivered.

~~~Chapter End~~~

JetStream Origins-The Big Day

Chapter 33: The big day

Part 1

It was a quite and well lit mourning, the yellow sun rising from the east, it was around nine o'clock, and Myriad and Corolla were up. They both decided to let JetStream sleep in, just in case. Corolla was at one of the tables, having coffee, while Myriad was on the balcony, with a good view of the castle if you had looked to your left. Myriad felt like it was just as it was at home, especially with the building in front of the balcony, it was so close that he could almost touch it. He walked back in the room, scratching the back of his head, Turning to her wife as she came into view, "What do you think, JetStream might have done to interest somepony like Celestia? I hope it was nothing bad..." he turned to JetStream with a worried frown. Corolla walked over to him, curling a hoof around Myriad.

"I'm pretty sure he wouldn't. That's not the colt I know. And besides, wouldn't we deal with it ourselves if it was bad?" Myriad nodded.

"It is a good point, but I'm still thinking hard about this, and I mean, besides we might as well take this the best way possible, when does a normal pony ever get to meet somepony like Celestia?" Corolla was just about to speak, but she instantly stopped herself, Myriad rose an eyebrow, "You were just about to tell me about staying with Celestia weren't you?" Myriad at this point was giving her, the look, it was quite at first, but as the seconds past on, she looked like she was going to burst.

"Alright, alright, I'll tell you." Myriad stopped what he was doing and listened closely, "I know a mare that I was working with during the second-half of the Fun-Run" Myriad put a hoof in front of her muzzle.

"Why only the second-half?" Corolla lowered it back down.

"... She said herself that she was with her husband and daughter at a local school. And she looked rather excited about it too." Myriad rose an eyebrow in question.

"So, she's the teacher?" Corolla shook her head, and walked to the balcony, Myriad stood right next to her, "She was a spectator, she was watching her daughter, It was in some sort of test, or anything that could be like it." Myriad tilted his head, looking at the dirt ground below.

"Then, who's the teacher?" Corolla shook her head again, and looked at her husband.

"I don't know, but I do know who practically owns it." she got a sassy tone in her voice, Myriad just shrugged, Corolla just stood taller and pointed to the castle in front of them, "Yours truly." Myriad's mouth dropped.

"That's amazing, to be doing so many things, and not be able to over heat." She turned to him.

"Well, think about it, she's an Alicorn." Myriad nodded.

"Yeah, I guess I forgot that..." Myriad soon sighed, and Corolla turned.

"What is it?" her tone changed into a tease, "Are you envious of Princess Celestia?" Myriad suddenly shook his head.

"N-no it's not that, I want to take a walk around, with you, to get the sites in..." Corolla sighed as well.

"That does sound interesting." she looked back at JetStream, who was sleeping soundly in his bed, or so they thought, "But what about, JetStream?" Myriad turned to her.

"That's my worry." Corolla sighed once again, then like a light bulb right above her head, she went to grab the nearest piece of paper she could find, and grabbed a near sharpie pen in one of the cabinets, Myriad rose his hoof, "Now what are you doing exactly?" She coughed, acting like she had an I.Q. of 300.

"Well, just in case if, JetStream waked up to find that we're gone, I'll put this somewhere near for him to read." Myriad, celebrating at a less-than-serious tone turned to Corolla.

"You are the smartest pony I have ever married." Corolla rose an eyebrow, Myriad felt a cold chill down his spine, and grew worryful, "... Saying you are the only one that I will." he facehoofed, "I need to reword better." he muttered to himself. Corolla grinned.

"Now then, that walk?" Myriad sighed and smiled.

"I wouldn't agree more."

Part 2

JetStream was standing in yet another dark void, he was standing alone in a defensive stance, gritting his teeth, "What and/or who are you? Are you the same that I saw before?"

"Same and different, yet omnipresent." JetStream breathed deeply.

"I'm not impressed by your near rhymes." his voice in some way sounded weak, but meanwhile in reality, a noticeable glow went bright red surrounding him.

"And you still don't remember me, hmm?" He just stood there, waiting for the next response, "Why, it's me, Neurelm, the one you had to befriend." JetStream took a step back.

"Had, to?" he shook his head violently, "How do I get out of here?" JetStream suddenly heard wind started swirling.

"My, my. Impatient are we?" JetStream stomped a hoof down.

"Give me an answer." he looked at the ground, furrowing his eyebrows.

"How, may I ask, how you got your name? What it means?" JetStream's anger lifted to annoyance.

"I don't know, I heard it had to do with something of separating cold and warm winds, or something."

"Mmmhmm, and do you, accept that?" he just stood there, staring into the never ending room, JetStream was suddenly full of motion.

"What does that have to do with anyway?"

"Well, actually nothing... But it seems you get distracted easily, like having a low radius in a come-and-they-go kind of awareness." JetStream scoffed.

"What are you, a Doctor?"

"Are you a pony?" JetStream visibly looked like it was a stupid question.

"Well, yeah... Again, why are you asking me these questions, Neurelm?"

"Ah, there's another topic, my name..." JetStream tilted his head raising an eyebrow.

"What about your name?"

"Try, to remember, about those past times you had a conversation with me." JetStream nodded slowly.

"Yeah, I remember those..."

"Did you keep a tally on how many times you've said my name, until right now, I'm actually speaking, unlike those times, and you're not adding to that tally." JetStream's eyes widened.

"I did? Oh... wait." all the past times seemed to swiftly pass him by, in a matter of seconds, "Oh yeah, that tally... roughly eight." There was a long pause.

"It will be more once this is over." JetStream looked side to side swiftly.

"What do you mea-? ...!" There was a big thump, and reacting to it, JetStream turned around, "Oh my..." standing right there, "Neurelm, is that you?! That's not the way I remember you." She was taller, a lot taller than JetStream, maybe even more than a stallion, but there was something else, something he knew but couldn't put a hoof on.

"It is 'cause I have grown stronger than when I met you." she stared dead straight at him, making his spine chill, "And now I must do what I need to!" Suddenly almost sting-cold winds started blurring around, JetStream leaped forward and went to speak, but he choked on his words, but finally uttered.

"What is it you're going to do!?" She quickly turned to JetStream.

"To take back what is rightfully mine!" JetStream felt so cold in this wind, like he was freezing, he was getting a freeze sensation, he looked down to notice that he was physically freezing up, thin ice slowly making its way up to his mane every inch a second. The first thing JetStream tried to do was shake free, and with a couple of tugs, the ice broke, and JetStream ran to the mare floating above him.

"Stop this, please!"

"Oh, yes! That is just what I want to hear!" That's what JetStream did not expect, he grit his teeth, and the ice started freezing at his hoofs for the second time.

"Agh!" It stung like needles, JetStream was struggling out of the icy trap, soon before he knew it, he pulled the strength and tugged as hard as he could, the ice cracked, one of his left thigh was free and started chipping at the ice till it cracked once again, "Cut it out!" he knew finally what struggle was, trying not to give an inch when your opposition is stronger, and for all of the thoughts on that topic seemed to raise JetStream's spirits even more, and it felt warm. With every second JetStream had his mind on that thought, everything got a little warmer, even to the point that ice wouldn't regenerate to ruin his newfound plan. Neurelm seemed to walk backwards, continuously, avoiding where the warmth was, the glow, warmth, and spirit seemed to push the dark and Bittercold back. Soon, when JetStream finally had enough, his eyebrows furrowed, "I'm done with this! I'm finding my own way!" Neurelm felt it, something she didn't like. Continuously looking at her, JetStream noticed something, the gem on the front of her chest, it sparkled from the light JetStream possessed, he focused, and started galloping toward Neurelm, but she was speechless, and with out a second thought, he jumped just ten feet away from her, and aimed for the dark blue gem in the center, he landed hard, it forced Neurelm back a good couple of feet, while JetStream bounced back and almost fell over, he looked at what he done, the gem was cracked and broken on the floor.

"It Broke!?" Neurelm exclaimed, she looked at JetStream, who looked back, and noticed it.

"If it's anyway to get out of here..." but before JetStream could finish, he looked at Neurelm, she was in shock, almost scared, but before he could make a move, everything went white. The next thing he knew he lying down, his heart was pounding, and as usual he found himself staring at the ceiling.

"Do I dare look at the clock." he spoke to himself. He slowly looked to the clock without getting up, he caught a glimpse, and groaned, "... eleven-eleven in the mourning." But before he could continue, one thing still bounce in his head, "Am I dreaming again?" luckily the clock was a hand-clock, and looked at the seconds, minutes, and hours carefully. Then he looked away, and for what seemed like five seconds, and with his heart pounding still, JetStream looked back, now he knew he wasn't dreaming, but he had one question.

"Where did Mom and Dad go?"

Part 3

JetStream hopped out of bed, "Okay, where's Mom and Dad." he looked around, then finally started rummaging, he turned toward his bed once more to find a paper plate, "What's this?" he lifted it up, it had writing on it.

We went on a walk, we will be back whenever we finish.
-P.S. We left around nine o'clock

JetStream put the note down back where it was, he sighed a sigh of relief, "Great, okay, they're on a walk, around town." JetStream walked to the balcony, and looked left toward the castle, "I guess I've nothing to do..." it seemed the building in front of him had the windows open. It was obviously warm enough. But the Sun's light hasn't reached the ally below him yet. But the rooftops on the buildings were shining brightly, he sighed, "I bet it's something to actually live here..." JetStream right ear twitched, he could hear hoofsteps.

"It sure is." JetStream looked down, but saw nopony, "No, up here." JetStream then looked to the rooftops, up there he saw four ponies on the same rooftop in front of him, JetStream was shocked to see a all the way up there.

"How did you all get up there?" They all looked at one another, each one sharing a smug grin, then looking back at JetStream, he felt a mix of worry and nervousness.

"... You could say it's a special technique." JetStream perked up, and jumped to on the balcony's railing, "What kind of technique?" The pony in front and talking to JetStream looked a little skeptical.

"It's like what you're doing right now." JetStream quickly looked down, he was still standing on the rail.

"Like this? What do you mean?" They all suddenly stood erect.

"What I mean is that we use rooftops to get around Canterlot."

"Oh, wow." JetStream looked back down, "But isn't that a little, dangerous?" He looked at his group and back to him.

"It does have its, downfalls..." JetStream sighed.

"I don't think that was funny, it's a serious matter." he held his nose up high.

"Then we don't need ponies like you..." JetStream looked down for a moment, almost regretting saying that.

"But it did sound interesting for the moment." He looked back at JetStream.

"Well, I got a deal, if you can jump to this roof, using anything you can, then I will let you join us. But if you don't want to, just walk back in there, and I'll pretend we've never seen you. Your choice." JetStream had to think fast. He looked around looking for the "Ways to get across" he thinks he's seen somepony do it before. But others think it's his way of saying "Now how dangerous could this be?" in a nervous way. The roof wasn't that high, but he knew he couldn't jump there. But, something caught his eye, there's a little over hang above the balcony.

"If I can get there, maybe I'll be able to jump to that roof..." So then JetStream went to one of the sides. It wasn't that high from where he was standing. So he then got up on his hind two legs, and tried to grab the top of the roof. He reached and stopped in mid-air, he looked up and he hanged from the roof just above where he was standing. He then thought about how to pull himself up. The four watching were happy that he's deciding to go along with them, 'Either I make this and I join them, or I fail and...' The suddenly with all his might he pulled on the roof, ending up in a thump of hoofs hitting the roof, 'Yes, I did it. But I'm not done yet...' The sun was finally beaming on him, 'Oh ,jeez...' before JetStream realized, he was on the roof of the balcony below him, 'Hey, maybe I can use that pipe.' and without hesitation or second thought, he trotted and jumped, grabbing the vertical pipe firmly. Suddenly a voice came from the top of the building.

"Start climbing up the pipe, I'll pull you up once you're here." JetStream trusted and continued. As soon as he got to the top of the building the one who spoke held out his hoof, "I hope you've washed." JetStream reached for it.

"For a pony like you, I'm surprised." he rose an eyebrow, JetStream chuckled as he reached the top of the roof, "... Or it's a good sign of a..." JetStream looked over his shoulder and looked at him, "...Leader..." He shook his head slightly.

"Well, anyway. You're a part of the group." JetStream filled with curiosity.

"Thanks, and what's the group name anyway?" he looked at his fellow members.

"We still don't know."

"Hmm, well maybe I can help with that. Yeah, that will be a great idea!" he nodded.

"Well how about we put that act we just saw to the test." JetStream nodded.

"I agree this looks like fun." although JetStream still looked nervous.

"Don't worry." a pony said behind him, she looked confident. They were all Earth ponies like JetStream, the leader had blue eyes, the mare comforting JetStream had yellow-orange eyes, and the other two had red and pink eyes. JetStream looked back on the balcony he left.

"I'll get back as soon as I can." and then he followed them, It would be the worst if JetStream didn't make it back in time.

Part 4

JetStream looked ahead, the buildings got smaller as they headed away from the castle, "Where are we heading anyway?" JetStream looked left to right.

"Oh, we'll be going under." JetStream didn't like the idea, and he probably was guessing the exact thing he was thinking.

"Our base is along the sewers."

"What!?" the pony scoffed.

"Oh, don't..." there was a small distance between the roofs next to each other, requiring a small hop, "Worry, we picked a spot that didn't smell too bad for ponies like you." he said sarcastically. JetStream mentally sighed.

"Oh, don't worry, I'm not like those ponies." he had a smug grin. The other three stopped, then so the leader did. He pointed below him.

"Right down there." JetStream looked down.

'I don't really think I will, but I'm going to if I need to look... Okay in front of them...' The group all jumped, they were on a building's roof with a sewer cover taken off below. Staring into that small space made JetStream think. Not how dirty the water is, just the water itself. He didn't see himself as a good swimmer, but without a second thought, he jumped. Wind hurling fast upward, then everything was quite, almost something you could relax to.

SPLASH!

And that would've woke you up out of a trance, he was instantly having trouble reaching the surface, he knew there was something to take a hold of and walk on when he reached the sides, so with a couple great pushes, and water circling in every place you look. JetStream finally reached the surface, and quickly look around, gasping for air, there was a cement sidewalk along the flow. JetStream had to kick and push his way to the side, he grabbed the most he could and pulled himself up, "Should've known I'd get soaked." he was tinted green due to the water. Mane and tail hanging low, he looked to the right and saw them waving to him, he galloped over there as fast as he could. He stopped at a door shaped opening to another part of the sewers. It was a whole room, almost as big as a normal, it was filled with random junk, and a mild amount of food. After some time, JetStream spoke up, "I'm glad you invited to your group; but I'm not going to be in Canterlot for long..." The pony with yellow-orange eyes looked at the leader, he nodded. The mare looked at JetStream.

"Well, we don't mind even if you're here or not, you're always a part of this group." JetStream smiled.

"Thanks." JetStream thought about the hotel, then a thought crossed his mind, "Does anypony have the time?" They all pointed to the ground in the middle, the sun's light was pouring into the room, a cover with a designed cut-out was leaving some light to let through JetStream looked at it carefully, "Okay, it's almost eleven-forty-five in the mourning." JetStream's eyes widened in realization, "I got to get back to the hotel!" The leader stood up from where he once was standing.

"What do you mean?" JetStream turned sharp.

"I got to get back before my parents see nothing!" He nodded, and told the one pony with pink eyes to go with JetStream.

"Come on newbie. I'll show the way." he said waving a hoof, JetStream followed after. They went out on the other side of when JetStream walked, it seemed to be a little far from where the room was, but then he finally stopped, JetStream did afterwards. There was a staircase he was pointing at and said.

"The hotel should be behind us." JetStream nodded wit ha firm smile.

"Thanks." and quickly leaped out, it was just him now. He jumped toward a light he saw and everything went white. He landed on cobblestone and seemed to slide a couple feet, "South." he quickly turned in that direction and galloped, either the feeling of finding this building alone, or getting there before his parents was getting to him. The city was still eye catching even with all this nervousness, seeing small buildings and larger ones as you look toward the castle. He turned a corner and nearly passed out, his Mom and Dad were walking toward him, they had just turned their own corner, to get to the hotel and finish their walk. JetStream quickly looked around but seemed hopeless, there was no place to hide, but they can't see JetStream. The hotel was right in front of him too. It was at a , T-like cross and if he thought right, they would go straight. So he hid behind a wall facing their direction, 'This isn't enough, I'd have to disappear in some way... My Aura...?' he asked himself, but there was no time to waste, he acted. Second after second, he focused harder, JetStream could see his own Aura grow brighter, the started to dim, fading ever so much, it then disappeared, 'Okay, now just... stay calm.' he suddenly felt at rest. He heard hoofsteps, which in turn, made it grow brighter again, "Nononono." it dimed once again. Just before everything was calm, there they were, his Mom and Dad, passing him, not even turning to look around, soon enough they made a left turn to go to the hotel entrance. JetStream was standing there, eyes wide open, the full appearance of total awe, he just stood there and smiled, "Wow... I was right there, and yet..." he looked at the ground, "I got so much to work with..." His head filling with possibilities, it felt like he was going to drop a couple tears, with such an experience like that, but now he needed to get back to his room, he remembered the window from the balcony, "I don't have time, and I need it." he galloped toward the building next to the hotel.

Part 5

He entered the building faster than recommended, it wasn't cluttered, but there were ponies everywhere you looked, "There's got to be stairs somewhere." An elevator was optional, but there was no time. He galloped a corner turning left, and preceded sown a thin hallway, he suddenly decided to go to a fast trot. He'd still have bumped into some, but having close calls, he'd shout "Sorry" as he continued down the hallway, he reached the end, and to the left there was a room and to the right was a staircase, "Yes!" he instantly went up, "Don't fail me now, step aerobics." he looked ahead and looked down at his own hoofs, making sure he didn't trip, or run into another pony. Soon after tons of stairs to climb, breathing heavier, he went to a speed-walk, "I need to find that same room..." he looked left and right at mounted pictures of the hallways, momentarily blocking his view. JetStream walked past one room but decided to go back and check it out, "The window's open." he looked outside, here were a couple of beds and a balcony out in front, "But how do I kn-" his worries stopped when he realized, "The plate!" he saw it on the red carpet, "This is the floor, but where do-?" he had an "Ah-ha!" moment, he remembered the pip he climbed, and finally decided to peak out the window, the pipe was right there. So he carefully, and with moderate pace, clinged to it, looking behind him, the balcony was right there. And without a second thought, he pushed his back hoofs into the wall, and with a good luck with strength, he was briskly in the air, then landed with a creak loud enough to get caught, he heard rattling from the door, making him cringe, "They're here." he looked around, saw the plate and threw it in the trash, taking that he'd know and threw it away, he walked around the room looking at stuff for him to use in his excuse, he then went to his bed and started pulling all the edges toward the corners. The door opened, and with the first words spoke.

"JetStream! Good mourning, sleepy-head." He turned around to them.

"Hi, Mom. Hey, Dad." trying to act his best, "So, how was that walk?" Corolla went ahead.

"We saw all kinds of different things, and almost all of them of what you wouldn't see back at home." JetStream smiled.

"Sounds like my kind of walk." Myriad smiled as well, and nodded.

"I would've known you'd say that, you are a pony who like to take the scenery in." JetStream coughed.

"So what should we do now?" Corolla suddenly looked like she was swatting something away.

'Oh no...' JetStream knew what was coming.

"You need smell and look nice, for sure." JetStream just gave a sheepish smile.

'Let's just hope this will waste time.'

Part 6

"We got so little time left..." JetStream was walking around a circle. It was 4:17pm. Myriad was on the balcony, and Corolla was at the table drinking her tea. She put it down and looked toward JetStream.

"Why don't you relax and calm down, I'm pretty sure it will be alright."

'I'm now worried...' he thought, he had no nerves about the whole, Meeting-a-Goddess thing, it was something creeping up behind him that he had his mind on, but he still knew it didn't do any good, so he stopped, smiled, and nodded, "Yeah, nothing to be worried about." Corolla smiled too.

"That's good to know." Myriad, on the other hoof, kept staring at the castle.

"... I think it's really neat going to the castle and all. But how do we plan on getting there?" JetStream just stopped in his tracks, Corolla was waving her hoof.

"Now, now. We're going in a carriage of course, it was kind of like the one I was riding here." JetStream was getting excited.

"Sweet, I wanted to see what it was like in one of those too." Corolla giggled.

"I knew you'd want to. And since we're going we need to look prepared. Oh, and Myriad-" he chuckled, walking to the bathroom.

"Yes, yes, I'll take one." he winked as she winked back, JetStream winked to nopony in particular. Corolla smiled at JetStream.

"And you mister..." JetStream looked at her, "You're lucky I already gave you one, or I would've gave you another." JetStream laughed weakly.

"Is that a good, or bad thing?"

"I'll leave that up to you." JetStream turned to the balcony, and away from Corolla.

"Well, saying that you'll leave it up to me, that might be a good thing." JetStream felt confident.

"Might?" Corolla echoed. JetStream sighed.

"Feeling gone..." he muttered to himself.

"What was that?" she was still smiling, JetStream was minorly terrified.

"It was nothing." he gave a weak laugh, he wanted to act has humble as he could, the castle and all the city's, Fancy talk, was making it's way.

"JetStream, sweetie."

"Yeah." Corolla once again put her tea cup down and walked over to the balcony with JetStream, both of them looking toward the castle.

"Back then, probably more than a thousand years ago..." JetStream felt something move.

'Neurelm...'

... I'm listening...

'Okay.'

"... Ponies didn't talk like we do today, communication had a lot less words than we do today. And words were said a lot more differently." JetStream looked up to Corolla.

"What do you mean? Like how?" Corolla shifted.

"Well, like. Let's say, that I was saying hello to you in the evening, it'd be something like. How you, JetStream, this divine even, or something like that." JetStream perked up.

"That stuff does sound interesting though."

... Let me be of service...

'Really Neurelm, you'd lend me some help?'

... Yes, go ahead and say; Cheer dear mother, and gramercy.

'Alright.' JetStream nodded to himself. He smiled, and restated what he heard, "Cheer dear mother, and gramercy." Corolla's eyes widened.

"It's like you're a natural; Have you been studying behind my back?"

'Thanks, Neurelm.'

... You too, JetStream...

'...' JetStream was awed at the fact of she stating his name, but the feeling didn't last long. Soon enough, Myriad opened the bathroom door, steam was flowing out, and it seemed to warm up the whole room a little.

"It's your turn honey." Myriad smiled, Corolla sighed a good sigh.

"I already did, I decided after an hour after, JetStream's bath." JetStream rose a hoof.

"You don't have to call it that..." Suddenly there where knocks on the door.

"I'll get that." Corolla walked to their door, the opened door revealed a worker pony, "Is there something for us?" The pony nodded.

"They have a ride for you and your family outside." Corolla nodded as well.

"Alright, thanks for informing us, we'll be down there as soon as possible."

"I'll let them know." the pony closed the door, Corolla turned, and talked louder then her usual self, "Alright, you heard him, it's time to get ready." Myriad instantly started rushing, and JetStream just sat on a chair waiting. Soon enough they were out of their room and in the main bottom floor checked out and outside.

"Oh my..." like Corolla said it was a carriage, but bigger for holding more than just two. There were a couple of ponies around with golden armor surrounding it.

"Right in here." one of them said, and they entered. Myriad was amazed right away, everything just seemed to sparkle.

"The interior is amazing." Myriad stated.

'We're almost there.' JetStream looked out the tinted windows, trying to get a good look of the city.

Part 7

Building after building had passed by since they were riding, ponies visible on almost all the streets they could pick out. JetStream, nothing all the smaller details, had a question emerge, he wanted to talk about something anyways, "How old is this pla-, city, anyway?" Corolla and Myriad both looked his way, Myriad opened his mouth, but was interrupted.

"From what I studied, more than a thousand years old?" she lightly tapped her chin. JetStream sat more upright.

"Really? I wonder how much its image has changed since then..." JetStream looked back outside the window, trying to think of an image himself, while Myriad gave Corolla a funny look, "You were saying honey?" Myriad crossed his forelegs.

"I have nothing to say." he muttered, Corolla raised her head.

"What was that?" he sighed.

"Your analysis was better than mine, I'm not that, Study-Pony, everypony knows." They both started smiling anyway. Suddenly, a voice called out from the front.

"E.T.A. will be about ten minutes." Myriad turned around.

"Thank you." Myriad called back, the pony nodded. JetStream then turned back to Corolla.

"Hey, Mom."

"What is it?"

"You've said that you met ponies while you where getting the finish ready right?"

"Yes, I did."

"Well, were there any ponies that you befriended?"

"Of, course, Do you want to know?" JetStream shook his head after a couple seconds.

"No, just curious." Corolla smiled.

"Alright then." JetStream went back to looking out the window. Everything was going a little to fast for JetStream to catch everything with his eye, but one thing surely caught his attention, in another set of stands, there was a pony with orange fur, and that cutie mark gave it away, JetStream suddenly rose from his seat.

"That's the same pony." Myriad and Corolla both sat up straight to catch a glimpse, but a building passed.

"Who were you talking about, JetStream?" he quickly turned around.

"It's the same filly that I ran into before." They both looked out the window, but the street already passed. Both parents looked at each other.

"Is she... Bullying you?" JetStream shook his head instantly.

"No, I accidently, or she, bumped into me, it looked like she was busy anyway..." Corolla decided to keep the questions up.

"What interests you into what that pony does?" JetStream looked down at his seat, his whole body still facing the window.

"She seems to be all over town... But she seems to be, troubled..."

"Troubled?" Corolla echoed, "Like, as in, worried-troubled or...?" JetStream nodded.

"Yeah... like behind in something that she needs to catch up to..." JetStream finally sat down and relaxed, that's exactly when the pony controlling once again stated.

"We'll be there shortly." And a little after the notification, they reached there destination. Two ponies opened the doors for them to exit, holding there hoofs low.

"Welcome to Canterlot Castle." JetStream just felt a chill down his spine, As they walked out they closed them behind. All five of them were walking down this red, thin, carpet all the way to a big, golden-edged door. Corolla gently nudged JetStream, getting his attention.

"Remember to be on your best behavior." JetStream decided not to say a word, but instead nod. They approached the door, the two ponies communicated with the other two guarding the door, then they all seemed to walk in front of it and pushed it open and they all continued, and as soon as they were all inside they softly, or rather loudly, closed it again. All three of them looking forward. In front of them was a good sized throne, and so was a white mass, smiling. Suddenly the silence was broken with one of the guard.

"... Presenting your royal highness, Princess Celestia!" JetStream and Corolla were in awe, amazed, while Myriad was mentally trying to fight something, "Your highness, the guests of honor." the guard finished.

'Okay...' JetStream thought, 'This is going to be one long even.'

Part 8

Princess Celestia stood away from her throne, "Hello everypony, I bet you know why you're here today this fine evening." Corolla and Myriad bowed, Myriad spoke first.

"With the letter you gave us, of course, we do." JetStream noticed them, the guards on the side, out of a few, one kept his eye on JetStream.

'I can feel it, one is glaring at me, already suspicious I bet...' JetStream swallowed hard, and Celestia seemed to notice.

"Well, since we have that in check, why don't we go somewhere more comfortable?" She lead them into a smaller room, it was cozier than the last, it had a marble table with chairs all around, and there were windows to the right. Once Corolla, Myriad and JetStream all walked in, Celestia entered lastly, closing the door behind her with a visible gold glow around her horn.

'That color...' JetStream was taken by surprise, 'I guess I should've expected a color like that.' Myriad chuckled.

"Ha, you okay, JetStream?" he snapped and turned to him.

"Yeah." he nodded, Celestia gave a light laugh.

"Nervous are we?"

'This is my chance to get comfortable.' JetStream nodded, "Mmmhmm." he said uneasy.

"Finally getting your first words too?" she was still smiling, it had that I'm-teasing-you impression, JetStream blushed.

'She was once young too...' he smiled, he decided to sit to the closest window while Celestia's gaze went from JetStream to his parents.

"Now, about what I brang you all here for." Celestia turned to JetStream, he knew it without looking.

"I might need some help too..." JetStream sighed, and tried to gather what he could, then moved over to his parents.

"If I may ask first, Princess." Myriad requested, Celestia nodded, "What was it that got your matter to our son?" JetStream shifted from Myriad to Celestia.

"Your son, JetStream, has done something I have seen such activity so infrequent." The parents practically leaned in a little, but Celestia turned to JetStream again.

'I-I'm going to!?'

"I would rather you hear it from your own... JetStream?"

'Here it comes...' JetStream thought, reading the gears that turned his mind, "Yes, Princess Celestia?"

"Would you be so kind as to tell them what you did?" JetStream didn't say or do anything for the moment, the only thing that came out, was what he had done.

"... I performed a spell..." Myriad and Corolla had their mouths open.

"I couldn't have said it better myself, believe it when he said." Corolla looked to JetStream.

"And what, may I add, pushed you to do that?" she was very curious, there was no trying not to. JetStream continued.

"Well, Dad, you know those little event things we went to, and watched you race." Myriad nodded.

"Of course, how could I not forget."

Celestia really liked the atmosphere in the room, it kind of reminded her of her family talking back and fourth, it's a little feeling that she called, Nostalgia.

"And Mom, how you would always have to put a spell on me and you, and it would be able to make us walk on clouds, and also how long we have been doing it..."

"Yes, and I see where you're getting this, spell thing from." JetStream again looked to Celestia, but all she said was.

"Go on."

"Well" JetStream continued, "I worked hard, looking up magic" Celestia's mind went through a couple thoughts about certain ponies, "and I ended up working with something called, Aura." JetStream's heart started pounding, it was the fact of speaking his own interests, "And somehow, the more I worked with it, the more I seemed in sync with the spell, until it was at the point to where I could, use it myself..." Corolla soaked it in, amazed at what she just heard a whole.

"Wow" Corolla suddenly went in for a hug, "I'm so happy, you're growing up so fast."

"That's my boy, finding what's seemingly impossible." Myriad countered, JetStream sighed smiling as Corolla let go. Celestia cleared her throat, and everypony readjusted instantly.

"Although it is incredible, it's also very rare, but I must encourage you to continue to work with it." JetStream sat up with a happy expression.

"Really, that's great! Coming from you that's something." Celestia nodded.

"If I could, I'd like to catch up on the progress you make, through your discoveries. But this wont be official, I'll make it if you have made great progression." JetStream nodded.

"Yes, Princess Celestia." Myriad and Corolla smile at one another.

"Well, I am glad we have got it settled- Oh, before I forget, I reminded myself to give you a buffet in the cafeteria, if you would like." Celestia offered, Myriad stood up.

"You really don't, Princess." she giggled, shaking her head.

"Not at all." Corolla smiled.

"I might as well, I'm a little parched myself." JetStream smiled, for the fact of what he did, and how he was talking about it felt like a presentation. But suddenly he felt a cold surge felt in his brain, it stung like a throbbing headache, he grit his teeth.

"Is it okay, if I go upstairs, I wanted to catch the view." he said hurriedly.

"Like I wouldn't stop you, go right ahead, you'll be just amazed as me." JetStream felt surprisingly guilty on how he stated that, and he took off for the stairs anyway, Corolla turned around before entering the Cafeteria.

"You should know where we'll meet up, if not, maybe the guards will help you." JetStream nodded at this, and continued again, he knew the guards are helpful ponies, there's just something unsettling about them.

Part 9

The first thing he was headed for was the first flight of stairs, "I'm guessing that's the way up..." he looked back to where he was previously. Celestia had lowered the sun just before they entered, it was 6:21pm, and it was getting to the point to where the lights where then the only light source, but then again there was a whole city out there, it wasn't hard to miss, considering that there's glass everywhere. And looking outside, the city was lit with orange and yellow light, the hit certain parts of specific buildings.

JetStream grunted, flinching from to the pain of this reoccurring head-ache, but JetStream stood back up, and smiled at his view, "You know what?" he looked toward the next flight of stairs, "I'm going to go as high as it will let me." within a second he was galloping, he reached the next floor and stopped, and something caught his eye, but almost terrified him. There was a pony guard standing at the end of a hallway, and JetStream saw more stairs behind him.

JetStream once again fell to the floor, he almost fell on his side but caught himself beforehoof, this one was more intense, his vision went black and blurry. But once the head-ache vanished for the third time, he got his vision back. JetStream is aware of something he isn't, it has toned his spirit, he decided to walk. He hoped he could pass this pony without conversation, especially with the Royal Guard. But the thing that questioned him was the fact of him not looking like a guard whatsoever, "Why isn't he wearing his helmet, and why is he all the way up here?" he walked slowly to the doorway, and soon he was close enough, he decided to go into a fast walk. The pony was looking at something below from the edge of the room. JetStream suddenly had a change in mind, he turned to the pony to see what he was looking at, 'I don't want to be seen by him... I going to use Aura again, their senses must be higher if he's going for the Royal Guard.' He stopped behind some cover and stood still, not a single muscle, and focused, 'What if I had some fun with this, but not too much.' he then kneeled down, almost sitting, and put his right hoof on the front of his chest, once his Aura was hidden, 'Let me see what I can do with this...' he gained a smug smile. He walked up the pony in utter quiet and stopped a couple feet behind him, he tried to move his head as high as he could, '... Darn, still can't get a good look...' he breathed in deeply, and held it. And walked even closer, JetStream's forehoofs were horizontal with the pony's backhoofs, JetStream's heart was pounding, and he looked down, 'Oh, wow...' he was looking into another room, it had a board in front and a big stand that went from one side of the room to another. JetStream couldn't get the pony's expression, 'I wonder why he's looking down there...' Basically the whole room looked like a normal college class room, the pony shifted, making JetStream jumped in silence, and he spoke his first words.

"That magic of yours is going to be iconic..." JetStream took a step back.

'Who is he talking to, or about?' The pony started turning to his left, 'Oh no!' He had to hurry, but it was no use.

"Ah. You scared me, how long have you been standing there?"

'Not long enough...' JetStream thought, "Roughly five minutes..."

"And who are you to be up here?" JetStream stepped away.

"I'm JetStream, I'm here at the Castle because of Princess Celestia invited us." The pony rose a brow.

"Us?" JetStream was shocked.

"Oh, my Mom and Dad." the pony nodded in reply.

"It's a great thing to be invited by herself." JetStream was talking quickly, trying to let this conversation pass, but he started to warm up, although he was twice JetStream's size, there is an obvious fear factor there. He had white fur, and two different shades of blue on his mane and tail. They weren't looking at each other, but JetStream was too curious.

"Are you, in the guard?" he looked at JetStream, his pupil in the corner of his eye.

"The Royal Guard? Yes" he chuckled looking back to the window, "... Or, I will be." he walked to JetStream, "I'm assuming you were wondering why I'm the only pony in armor like this, and way up the castle here?"

"Yeah." JetStream nodded.

"Well, by the time you leave. Anyway, I'll be ready to take orders so I can officially be accepted into the Royal Guard. But the best thing is, that it doesn't seem to worry me about the thought of it." JetStream suddenly stood higher, his Aura gaining appearance again, the pony noticed it too.

"Whoa, what was that?"

"Aura..." he rose an eyebrow, "It would take too long to explain."

"Another thing that I'm surprised about is your spirit, guts to stand up to somepony like me."

"Thanks for that, at a brother perspective, your a great pony to be a role model, especially for a future pony of the Royal Guard."

"A good pony to look up to huh? Do you mind me asking if you have any brother or sisters?" JetStream shook his head.

"No, not at all, and I don't have any brothers or sisters." he stated rather positive, "But is it okay that I ask you?" he nodded.

"Yes, I have one sister." JetStream started for the stairs, "Well, uh, I'm going to go head up these stairs."

"Alright then, can I have your name before you go?" JetStream saluted.

"My name is, JetStream."

"Well..." he saluted as well, "... Glad to meet you, JetStream, my name is Shining Armor, and I hope you like it here, and to see you some time later as well." Shining Armor smiled as he finished. JetStream continued walking to the stairs.

"Yeah, you too." Shining Armor turned to the window now in front of him.

Part 10

As soon as he reached the next floor, he looked around the room for a second, the walls were closer than before, 'I must be getting closer.' He turned to the next flight of stairs, then he almost completely fell on his sides, everything blacking out.

"What is up with this head-ache..." he gritted his teeth, getting back up rather weakly, "I want to make it outside. Neurelm, are you feeling this horrible thing too?"

... I am the pain...

JetStream shook his head, "You know I don't like were this is going..."

... Obvious enough, but I must admit, you're strong witted for a four year old.

JetStream sighed, "Thanks for the empty complement." he reached the next floor, "Agh!" it was too much pain, he couldn't keep it too himself, a scream loud enough, but not enough to be heard followed, he looked ahead, there was a door, and a bridge that was connecting the side to the other, the other side was only accessible on this floor alone, he then walked lazily-slow to the door, and made his first steps onto the bridge, "The, bridge was bigger, then I thought..." JetStream looked back to where he was, and where he is now. He continued until he reached the center. he turned to the city and forced his forehoofs over the rail, looking in awe, "About the best view in the world." The fully city of Canterlot was in view, he tried to catch what he could see, "Oh, that's Ponyville, and that above it must be Cloudsdale..." the moon was directly above him, but for some reason it wasn't midnight, you just can't trust the moon to check for the time, unlike the sun.

...It's time...

JetStream still looked ahead of him, "Time for wh-agh..." he backed off the rail and stumbled on the stone below, "What is up with this head-ache!" he said, finally screaming, wanting an answer.

... It's my time to get ready.

JetStream's pupils were visibly shaking, looking at the bridge he's standing on.

And with one blink of both his eyes, they were that same turquoise color, "... Neurelm, tell me what's going on." his chest felt a little heavy, it felt like he was being lifted, like telekinesis, even though his whole body was planted on the ground.

... I have rested, and have grown much stronger since, and it's all thanks to you, JetStream...

"What? You got something creative to tell me again?"

... At my own time...

JetStream blacked out once again, but the head-ache was nowhere to be felt, he couldn't see anything, his aura wasn't there to aid him neither, 'Pure Darkness...' the only thing running through his head. Once the blackout cleared, a dark violet, but transparent cloud, was clipping out of JetStream and stopped, hovering above him, fully stretched, covering the area of the entire bridge, the cloud was blocking light traveling through it, in fact, it filtered light with darkness, and shone it at wherever the light was angled at, but of course it was flowing on JetStream, the moon was right above him, just hovering there, minding its own business. JetStream was standing like a statue, everything was quite, until he heard a voice, a very familiar one.

... Banish the sun, bless the Moon.
The time is now, not a moment to soon.
Eternity of Darkness, Shadows forever.
Will transpire as sunlight's hate I sever... oh, JetStream I must thank you dear...

JetStream started shivering, the voice could be right next to him, but he couldn't tell.

... With time running short with each solar year, all ponies will consent to my ascent...

Everything was quite, did she leave, or is she done? Is she still here, or somewhere he'll never see Neurelm once again?

No, muzzle to ear, "... I will give all my thanks and gratitude to you."

He could feel shame wash right over him, Neurelm's breath could practically be felt, and seen, like a cold mourning day. Soon the cloud wisped toward the moon, and after it was out of perspective, the moon glowed and sparkled. JetStream felt dizzy, weak, and especially cold, inside of his own body. He couldn't do anything, everything failed in attempt, trying to stay up on his own hoofs, falling unconscious, he limped to his right.

And passed out.

~~~Chapter End~~~

JetStream Origins-Chapter 34

Chapter 34: Realization

The first thing, was nothing, everything went black once again, and the sense of feel for the bridged evaporated. The only thing after it were, nightmares until he would possibly wake up, hopefully before Myriad and Corolla got worried, and the Princess as well. But, the only worry, was the fact of Cele-.

'Princess Celestia...' he tried to speak in darkness, it was tough, but he was getting through, it all ended as soon JetStream walked through at the end of the tunnel of the Glassed Hill, the iconic light at the end, the nightmares ended the shuttering compilation. Everything went white, and what you could hear, was like trying to get back to the surface of the water, everything got louder until it just couldn't anymore.

"Ah!" with a quick jolt, JetStream jumped from where he was lying, it was loud, but it cutting through his gritted teeth was hard to hear, moving his head so fast trying to catch his surroundings he almost caught a head-ache. Still breathing abnormally, and still cold, but it was obvious enough to feel the difference, even though he was still visibly shaking, "Oh no, how long has it been?" trying to remember made him pass multiple past events, "... Neurelm? Where are you... ?" he was short on breath, "... Neure-!?" he fell back to the bridge, his strength missing as well, he was the only one there, his back against the bridge, lying down toward the sky, when his eyes opened in realization, "The moon!" he held a hoof directly toward the moon, "Those weren't there before!" he looked panicked, he stood back up rather slowly, he was in this state, "Neurelm did this..." the thing that caught his eyes was not the moon itself, but the stars, just not any stars.

There were four bright stars really for apart from each other, making some "X" formation with the moon in the middle. The stars were bright enough to were you could point them out, you may not notice them if you weren't looking toward the sky, but if you did, then you'd see them. Having no idea what to do, he just stared.

"Did, Neurelm do that, or, did I do that?" he wrapped his forehoofs around his head, 'I can't eve-!'

"Hello...?" JetStream unraveled his hoofs, the sound came from one side of the bridge, the side he came from, "Are you there JetStream?" finally, the figure was in sight, "Aw, there you are. Your parents have been wondering about you." JetStream turned sharply to the Princess.

"C-Celestia..." he tone lowered. She motioned JetStream to come back inside.

"Come on, it seems to be getting a little chilly for a summer night." she smiled.

Everything just froze for JetStream, '... That wasn't me being cold?! But I could've swore!' he felt paranoid, his eyes slightly wide, but he didn't know a word for it, he did feel right with everything. But Celestia could feel that something wasn't quite right either, 'She's an Alicorn, calm down, I bet she has dealt with before.' JetStream tried to walk calmly and stopped right next to Celestia. She looked down to the small colt next to her with the pink-purple eyes she's known for, and said with a calm approach.

"Why don't you stay at my side until we reach the first floor." JetStream nodded with his mouth slightly open.

"Okay." and they started for the first staircase. JetStream felt like the flames of intensity were dying, 'I'm calming every second...' JetStream tried to get back intact with his Aura, 'What!? What happened, I'm some how weakened form it...' JetStream realized what he said, 'I bet Princess Celestia could sense the way I feel too... Neurelm somehow weakened me and my Aura...' it suddenly hit him, in full realization, 'I started to go crazy, I couldn't think straight... Is it that I need my Aura? Like a friend who'd need another's help... Me... Myself and my Aura could be the friends in that situation...' JetStream looked at the towering Alicorn next to him, if he looked any longer his neck would start hurting, '... Walk by my side... I'm suddenly more calm, collected, and I can actually think about what just happened and how or when something is happening...' Celestia smirked on the opposite cheek, JetStream knew everypony has an Aura, he doesn't want to keep that out of mind, JetStream looked ahead of him once more, 'Princess Celestia's Aura is like a warm lamp in a cold night breeze, golden... Mine, must be the same way too. And if that's possible...' JetStream remembered how freaked out he was back on the bridge, how he was weakened from his Auric self, 'Without mine, that lamp would go out, and I'll be left to delve in my own paranoia, the insanity...!' the thought of it made himself drift further from warmth, but at the same time, he was suddenly much warmer than what he was seconds ago. Soon after, the Princess looked to JetStream, smiling like her usual.

"I'm guessing you're finished?" JetStream looked back up, and suddenly shocked.

"I, uh... wait, what?" his voice amplified, "You knew about this?" she just made a happy expression and looked in front of them, JetStream felt something surge suddenly, "Oh, Princess Celestia, I wanted to ask you something..." Celestia stopped, and JetStream did too late, and had to walk back. The first floor was a little in front of them.

But out of the corner, Myriad and Corolla snuck around, to see what was going on, once they saw the scene, they both smiled at each other, JetStream continued, "On the way here, to your Castle... I saw this filly that was suspicious to me..." JetStream didn't quite think he said that right, "N-not that I'm saying she's doing something wrong..." Celestia bent down, JetStream was basically surprised with every little thing she did, but then again, you do have a pony of a high title leaning on her four limbs in front of you, pondering on what you'll tell her. But without a second's guess she whipped the answer before JetStream could officially finish it.

"Does she have orange fur, with a Sun as a Cutie Mark?" JetStream broke his stature.

"Y-yeah, I'd like to know her name... If you don't mind me asking..." it looked like he could be kicking the ground softly at any moment.

"Don't worry, JetStream" she stood back up, and JetStream stood back so she could, and they started walking down the corridor again.

Meanwhile, Myriad and Corolla suddenly pushed each other so they wouldn't get caught by them, Corolla was tearing up, wiping her hoofs to hide them, "That's our colt..." Myriad chuckled.

"Yeah, wish I had guts like that..." Corolla sighed.

"Her name is, Sunset Shimmer..." Celestia continued, "... She's my student, but it wonders me as well why she always stirred at this kind of time." JetStream shrugged, blushing with a sheepish smile, "But, anyway, let us get back to the cafeteria, we need to clear everything up so you can head back to your Aboudé." JetStream nodded.

"Okay." was all he could dish out.

~~~Chapter End~~~

JetStream Origins-Chapter 35

Chapter 35: The big day's Sunset

Both of them were closing into a big room, and approached the door on the right side, "This must be the Cafeteria?" Celestia nodded.

"Yes, it is." Soon after Celestia turned, in front of her were Myriad Corolla. It took some time, but JetStream finally appeared from behind, Celestia looking down as he was in sight, "Well, it seems" she looked back up, "you all are ready to proceed back home?" Myriad and Corolla nodded.

"Yes, your highness."

"Alright then, we'll set the carriage once more." They all walked to the door, the guards told all three that it's waiting and went to open the doors. JetStream forgot how much time has passed, the sky was black, the stars were shining, and the moon...

"What are those four stars?" Myriad noticed and looked down to JetStream.

"What was that, JetStream?" JetStream smiled, worried expression.

"N-nothing Dad." The guards walking beside them sped up to open the doors ahead.

"In here." they said in unison. Celestia was standing at the door inside the castle.

'You know what' JetStream thought, looking back, 'it'd be a rare sight to see her in the moonlight...'

"Come on, JetStream." JetStream waved, and walked to the carriage, Celestia waved back, "Right." he jumped in the back seat next to them, he loved taking the window. After that they closed the doors and signaled the front to start, the carriage took off, hitting a cal-de-sack like U-turn, and headed straight to the city.

Myriad nudged JetStream, "You might as well say good-bye to Canterlot, we'll be leaving in the mourning for Altamare." JetStream hopped the back seat to get another view of the castle.

"No... I'll be back here again" he sat back down looking Myriad straight in the pupil, "I just know it..." he chuckled.

"And I wouldn't blame you." But otherwise, it was nice to see Canterlot at another mood. The yellow lights shining at every corner, practically every inch of the city was lit, and it didn't seem to bother either.

Within another 20 minutes, they were back at the hotel. They stopped in front of the doors, and the one up front stepped down and open the doors, "We have arrived." They all took a step out, it was quite, little to nopony was walking the streets anymore, JetStream got out first, following Corolla and Myriad, in which they both said.

"Thank you." Corolla started to the hotel, Myriad was right behind her, but he turned around, JetStream wasn't getting far.

"Come on, buddy. We need to get back in our room." JetStream turned around.

"Okay." but before he started, his neck turned to the guard, and he waved, after a little while, he waved back in reply. That made JetStream smile, "I'm coming." So, everything went as planned, they got back to their room, and relaxed, staring at the narrow view of the castle as usual, soon it was 8:47pm, they put JetStream in bed, and they wondered again on the thought that JetStream could've done something as perform a spell, soon enough, they thought, if JetStream kept it up, he'd be the first Earth pony to officially use magic... or so they thought.

~~~Chapter End~~~

JetStream Origins-Chapter 36

Chapter 36: The last look of Canterlot

Myriad, Corolla, and JetStream were walking a sidewalk near the edge of Canterlot, and just ahead of them was the Train Station. The time was 11:10am, before they left, they got themselves get warmed up for the ride home, "So, once we're back home, we'll be back with nothing to do?" JetStream looked at Corolla, she smiled.

"Well, JetStream, we still got a whole city there, I bet you can figure a lot more than what you have now." That's when it hit JetStream, he looked back down.

'She's right, the Glassed Hill. But she still has no idea of it, neither does Dad.' JetStream jumped ahead with a question on his mind since they started their walk here, "How did you know about the trains?" She looked ahead at JetStream.

"What do you mean?" JetStream was just about to continue, but Myriad filled it for him.

"It's like a, how'd you know when they come and go..." he looked to JetStream with a teasing smile, "... Right?" JetStream sighed rolling his eyes.

"Yes, Dad..." he looked ahead of them smiling.

"Don't you roll your eyes at me." This time he made a quick sigh, Corolla giggled. JetStream looked back up toward Corolla.

"So, the trains?"

"Oh, yes... Well, while I was keeping my stay, there were an odd number of trains coming, even for our city it was a lot. I even asked the Conductor, he said there will be tons of trains picking up ponies for rides due to an event occurring." JetStream closed his eyes and smiled sighing.

"You had to remember as you went along right?"

"Yes." she nodded softly. JetStream fell down and got back up, scratching his head.

"That's what I thought."

"Wait, wait... Did you get tickets?" Myriad rose his hoof to her muzzle, Corolla moved it away.

"Of course, it wouldn't be worth the wait..." JetStream sighed again.

"I bet it would be for someponies..." As they got closer, they could already hear a train, which in turn got Corolla all excited.

"Yes, I knew we would've to wait, but this works for us perfectly!" JetStream and Myriad stopped and sighed, they shrugged looking at one another and continued.

'It's like a frilly-filly looking into a diamond...'

Soon enough, the train had already stopped, and the Conductor was all ready standing outside, making sure the ponies needed were on. Corolla turned around, facing Myriad and JetStream, "You two stay here, I'll find out if this could be our train..." Myriad nodded. JetStream, on the other hoof, was worried, seeing all the ponies gathering on, seconds passing after another.

'The more we wait, the more we seem lost...' But all you could see was JetStream staring from the start of the train to the caboose.

Meanwhile, Corolla trotted over to the pony near the start, "Excuse me..." the pony lifted his head a little.

"Hmm, yes?"

"I would like to know where this train is going." the pony nodded.

"Yes, the train is going to Los Pegasus, places we will pass are most likely Ponyville, Altamare, and the White Tail Woods." Corolla nodded back.

"Yes, okay. Thank you."

"Mmmhmm." he replied. Soon after Corolla walked back.

"Yup, this is our train." They all rushed in, hoping to find a good spot, luckily they did, a seat on the right, JetStream hurried to the window, Myriad sat down next to him and looked at him.

"JetStream" he turned to him, "why do you like gazing out the window?" JetStream turned toward the window.

"... Well, it's a great way to see Equestria, it helps me think about stuff too." Myriad gave a happy look.

"You're your own weird." Myriad couldn't see it, but JetStream smiled as soon as the train started.

The thought of finally heading back home flowed and stayed in his mind at once.

'We're almost there, almost there.
The world is as magical as can be, and I bet my friends will say it along with me.' he huffed.
'I've been dreaming, and I'll be waiting, my friends, who I'll expect to explore the world with me, having fun and adventures as we do. And let the whole world watch, as we shower them with envy. But soon, I'll be back, to a place we all can call home...'

JetStream shrugged, it's the best he has to offer, but yet it's the best he has heard.

~~~Chapter End~~~

JetStream Origins-Prologue

Prologue: From (slightly less) Humble Beginnings

It's amazing, truly amazing. The birth of a newborn foal is something to take in, and the new-found parents wouldn't believe any less. It is May 20, 2000 the birthdate, in which they have to remember for years on end.

"It's a colt." The doctor walked in smiling, the Mother and Father turned their heads to look at one another, eyes shining with anticipation. The foal on the other hoof had a blue-cyan fur, his mane was taking a spike formation, and had a true blue with a hint of purple on the side, the Father took notice to that. He also has a quarter-circle formation with two colors, blue going outward and purple going inward, and lastly his eyes were a yellow-gold, which of course are a mix between parents. And seemed to be getting darker blue hoofs.

"What should we name him?" the Mother said looking up to her husband.

"I don-" the suddenly opens, revealing a young mare, she had a mane with fire-like spikes going all the way to her neck.

"Sorry, I-" her eyes widen, and she gets a cold chill down her spine, "Whoopswrongroom!" she quickly steps out the doorway, and then freezes due to another voice from behind her. All three of them looking at each other in confusion.

"Uh-uh missy, you say you're sorry." It was a demanding, yet soft tone which probably took years to master. Especially for a big stallion. Myriad knew he heard that voice before, he stood up patted Corolla on the shoulder.

"I'll be right back." he said with a small smile, she nodded back.

"I-I'm sorry I should've look-" the short mare noticed him walking toward her, she started to quiver. As soon as they both were out of the room, Myriad looked down and said.

"It's alright, I would've been confused on where to go also if I was your age, who knows, I still could get lost."

"Yeah, but I interrupted your best moment." they were trying to keep their voices down.

"That doesn't matter anymore, and besides I know you said, I'm sorry." she sniffled, and looked back up.

"Alright." as she couldn't say anymore.

"Is something the problem?" the stallion behind the mare asked with a raised eyebrow. 'What a build' he thought as he leaned back a bit, 'Wait a second'. He coughed into his foreleg and continued.

"No, nothing's wrong. We got it covered." Myriad and the mare smiled at each other for extra measure, still Myriad has seen this stallion before, so he decided to ask, "Excuse me but, are you, Rapidfire?" He suddenly looked at the ground nervously. The stallion looked at him, then closed the hospital room door shut. 'What did I say, what did I do!?' he started thinking he could ask his brain right now.

"Yes, and you are...?" he started to slow so he could get this stallion's name. Myriad's eyes opened to realize.

"It's me, Myriad. You know the one, you seemed to have more of bond with me than any other." It was his turn to share the realization.

"Oh, yes well it's a good to see you again... and those were the good times." He tried to recall those 7 year old memories, "Can I ask why you're here?"

"Newborn." he said flatly, nodding towards the door, but more than happy.

"Oh, my bad. W-" he was interrupted by the small one. Myriad chuckled.

"Dad, can we see the baby?" she was bouncing slightly at Rapidfire's hoofs.

"Well, probably not." he said a little worried. And motioned to Myriad, which he took over.

"Well" he scratched his chin, "I could go ask, but I obviously don't know how it works here." So he turned, open the door softly, and went to ask the doctor about it. It was a little while before he walked back out with a smile, "Yes, but not for long."

"Yay!" she quietly yelled. They both walked in, "Does she or he have a name yet?" the young one asked looking around the room. Corolla looked at her and then the foal.

"No, he doesn't." she took note he was a he. It was then in her eyes she knew what to do.

"Can I give it a try?" she looked as innocent as could be, "I mean, if I can."

"Well dear, I thi-" her dad spoke up to be interrupted. Myriad slightly nudged him.

"I'll just let her go ahead." he looked at Rapidfire, then at Corolla, who shrugged with a smile. Rapidfire looked at her daughter.

"Go ahead."

"Okay." she instantly went into thought, then she popped out, "Well dad, you know how you're with a lot of fast people like, Myriad" Rapidfire just nodded, and Myriad stood more erect with a smile, "and I know you're healthy also."

"Well then, what's the name you're looking for?" Rapidfire asked, awaiting the answer. The others also felt hesitation. Then suddenly out of the blue, she spoke.

"JetStream..." they all stood up. Myriad and Corolla seemed to take a liking instantly. Corolla was the first to speak.

"I think we'll keep that." Myriad nodded in agreement and said it to himself once more, something about it was unique. After a little longer, Rapidfire and her daughter decided to continue on there ways.

"JetStream, well, welcome to this lovely place." Both Myriad and Corolla started to hug each other. On another side Rapidfire had plans for her daughter until his concentration was broken by her, "Hey, Dad?" she asked with those orange-brown eyes.

"Yes, my dear?" he looked down to what it was now. She giggled.

"Names are interesting aren't they, Rapidfire." she had a tease in her attitude, with a smug smile.

Rapidfire gave a chuckle, "Yes they are, Spitfire."

JetStream Origins-Chapter 8

Chapter 8: Unwrapping future events

"...Alright..." JetStream looking around, then finally went through the tunnel that laid out in front of him, "Time to go..." and without a second thought he leaped, and soon making his way out, "..." Even though the scenery wasn't much to be looking at, it caught his attention, "I need hurry, who knows how long I've been in there." he speed up once more. The edge of the tunnel got closer and closer, until everything surrounding JetStream went white, he couldn't see anything, but that wouldn't slow him down, and as soon as the white shadow-less smoke arose, he was back exactly where he started, before he started, "Alright..." he carefully trotted back up to the back side of the house hoping the door doesn't open on him again, but apparently, it opens to only speed, interesting. He walked back to the house, it was 6:38pm.

"Where have you been? I mean I know you told me, but for that long?" he was giving JetStream a cold glare.

'He couldn't hear the door open? Oh, well...' he thought of an accuse, "I was in the background the whole time." he tried to grasp on what he lied.

"Alright... Anyway, go ahead and get ready for the Fun-Run." his mood changed instantly.

"Oh... Wow, already?" he recoiled.

"Yup, now go get ready." JetStream nodded. And then left to his room. And soon after came back. "Alright then..." they soon walked out the house and preceded to the front of Altamare.

"Whoa! They're done already." JetStream was surprised, he was there only an half hour ago, and then he really didn't see it at the time. "And there's like a hundred here so far..." Myriad chuckled.

"I'm pretty sure a hundred is an exaggeration..." Suddenly JetStream took off, "Hey, where you going?" JetStream turned around.

"I think I see the same ponies I saw before." Myriad scratched his head.

"From here?" he said to nopony in particular.

Whoops, another small chapter...

JetStream Origins-Chapter 9

Chapter 9: The reunion

"Hey! You guys, over here!" JetStream was galloping closer to the ponies he was happy to see again. Twister turned around.

"Well, long time no see." JetStream smiled.

"You too. Oh, by the way, where are the other two?" Twister looked quizzical.

"Oh, them? They are with their parents still..."

'So they are brother and sister!' JetStream thought. JetStream had another question in mind, "So, where are we staying then, that hotel over there?" he pointed a hoof at the obvious hotel in front of them.

"Oh, no, in a factory... of course in a hotel!" JetStream scratched his chin.

"How are they fitting all of us inside there?" Twister laughed.

"Believe it or not, it's seems bigger on the inside... I know because my family moved here temporarily before we moved to Altamare." Slash nudged Twister.

"They're calling out hotel numbers, let's go." Twister and JetStream both nodded.

"All right, quite down everypony so we can hear our numbers, it will be name, then number... Ashtray, Number 1... Jerrytree, Number 2..." Time seemed to really slow down, "Sparrowaltz, Number 23..." There was a distant, "Of course..." "Pat Pink, Number 24... Square Squad, Number 25..." JetStream was hoping to stay awake, "Virgo, Number 34... Golden 'Bridged, Number 47..." And it still seemed to go on forever, but it finally ended, "451 rooms? How do they manage?" JetStream asked nopony. "Yay! We get the highest floor!" JetStream cheered all the way to his, and Myriad's room.

"Alright, JetStream, calm down, the room number is 416." JetStream jumped when he saw it.

"I can't wait to see the view!" JetStream bolted to the edge of the room with the glass windows. Myriad listing to anything other than his own son.

"Jeez, the neighbors are pretty quite, I guess that doesn't bother us... or shouldn't." JetStream gasped in awe.

"The view is incredible! And I can see our house from here." JetStream took the sight in the for the moment, 'So this is what's like to be away from home...' he could see it, that small faint silhouette in sight, for most ponies. 'My house stands from the others, but I bet that's how other ponies feel about their homes...' was 8:19pm, and all they decided to do was talk, and get comfortable. Soon it hit 8:31pm.

"Alright JetStream, you know what time it is..." JetStream nodded.

"Yeah, okay..." Soon he slid under the covers, hearing his Dad speak to his shut eyelids, awaiting the hours to pass like seconds.

"...Good night..."

Alright, it looks like we're getting somewhere.

JetStream Origins-Chapter 10

Chapter 10: Midnight Wonders

Everything was quite, no birds, no bushes rustling with the leaves on the trees, the wind was calm. Until a little something had made JetStream, feel a little cold, moving a little too much have made the covers slip, and he was getting colder, by the minute... Until suddenly, "Who-!" he cut himself off realizing that he didn't want to wake Myriad, all it did was make him turn over. JetStream sighed of relief, "What?" he said softly, "I'm sweating? I wasn't even completely covered though..." he decided to get up and walk around, it was quite, like it should be, JetStream smiled then walked to the side of the room with the windows. "That shape, it looks like a... Mare..." All JetStream could do was look at the big blue ball of rock. "...A... the Mare on the moon..." JetStream decided to call it that, "It may not sound the best, but it makes practical sense." Stars, stars everywhere, even though there are light posts out side he could still see the stars. "I guess I'll just go ahead and walk through the hallways or something..." JetStream started walking his way, but seemed to struggle, "I know I'm never this tired, especially when walking... It must be the lack of sleep..." JetStream looked around for a while, "I'll just go stop at the sunroom... heheh, sunroom, that's ironic..." Enjoying his little jokes he made it to the room with the windows everywhere on the walls. Looking outside, it made JetStream, happy to see it, and he seemed to gain strength too. The view is incredible, "But I don't have anypony to talk to about right don't I? Oh, well then, I guess I'll just go back to my room now..." he whispered to himself, the snoring was really awkward to listen to. But suddenly, a wind breaks in, "What?" JetStream looked around, eyes opened wide, "I thought I heard a voice..." he then carefully moved to his room. And then headed to the windows once more, "Oh, there's the glassed hill." he saw, it was just to the left of it, but it seemed farther than where he was standing, "Whoa! My house is way back there." It seemed a good couple miles away, "...How come I can't remember that nightmare I had? If it was on-..." Something occurred to JetStream, grabbed his attention, "...Nightmare..." he looked up to the moon, it was obviously night, so one thing came to JetStream's mind, "...The Night-Mare..." he felt stunned, he went to look at the clock, "Ah, it just hit midnight, I better get to bed..." He quickly fell under the covers and decided that he would probably look at the night sky more often.

~~~Chapter End~~~

And his curiosity begins to blossom...

JetStream Origins-Chapter 17

Chapter 17: City reviews

JetStream, with some time, was pushing through the crowd trying to get a good view of the scenery, "Come on! When do we see Canterlot? I want to see if it's as good as I hear!" Colos could be heard panting behind JetStream.

"W-well, I may have not been there, but I know for sure that we're nowhere near Canterlot by the time we reach the next town, I think." JetStream's eyes widened, and kept his eye's on the path.

"Oh yeah, I remember..." he still looked at the path below him, "...There's a town in the middle point of the route? Do you kno-" JetStream suddenly stumbled, falling behind. But only to pace back up, "...know it?" Colos nodded.

"Yeah, I overheard my Mom. She-" Colas interrupted as she burst ahead of them.

"There's a town called Ponyville." JetStream looked uninterested.

"The name doesn't seem to interest me..."

"Meh, you'll see." she replied quite casually. She started to smile.

"Okay..." JetStream was giving her a look, he looked back to Colos.

"Anyway, JetStream, they say you can't really judge a place just by hearing it." JetStream grew a worried expression, shaking his head.

"I never said I was judging!" he threw in a couple weak laughs too. Colos laughed as well.

"I'm just kidding." JetStream sighed, he didn't want to go any further with it either. He looked at the morning noon sky.

"Twelve-fifty-one pm. I don't think we'll get there by night, it seems like forever." Twister looked over to him.

"Eh, you never know." Slash suddenly popped out from behind Twister.

"Know what?"

"City in the scenery." Colos replied.

"Oh, alright." Colas soon pointed out that she too was watching the sky.

"Oh, there's also a couple clouds around the sky." she pointed out with her hoof. Luckily she did, they were getting darker by the half hour.

~~~Chapter End~~~

JetStream Origins-Chapter 31

Chapter 31: Mystery Mare

The sun was beating red, maybe so much it might as well turn purple, "So uh..." The whole family was walking in one direction, but still not sure where to go, and JetStream was still full of questions, "Where are we staying, here, in Canterlot." There were ponies and buildings everywhere.

"This place is obviously much more busy than Altamare." Corolla turned to JetStream, they were all walking down a busy road, most likely near the heart of the city, the Plaza is just behind them, "We're staying at a hotel" she turned back in front of her, "like I'm guessing you to were in before." JetStream was shocked.

"Weren't you here in Canterlot the whole time? How'd you know?" Myriad was looking a little curious also.

"Well, just because I'm going to help out with staff members doesn't mean they'll tell me about where or how you guys are doing." JetStream and Myriad sighed of relief, Corolla rose an eyebrow and continue looking ahead, "The hotel should be a couple blocks away. I already got us a room." Both of their eyes widened.

"Now how long have you been planning this?" Myriad asked, "You never told me about this."

"I got the idea when we arrived, I got a quick look around before I joined the ponies help. The scenery and the nice, warm welcomes made it possible." she lightly laughed. JetStream turned to Corolla.

"Oo, oh is there more than one floor?"

"Yes." she nodded.

"Which one are we at?" Myriad's smile appeared.

"I'm assuming you want the highest floor." JetStream nodded, turning to her Mother.

"Well, not the highest, but were second to the top." JetStream stopped to a walk.

"Aw." After that they reached a corner they turned, suddenly, about three ponies with golden armor, trotted by with a carriage connected to the collar-like objects on their necks. JetStream looked at them carefully, "Who are those three?" Corolla scratched her chin, turning to JetStream.

"I'm guessing those are the said, Royal Guard." Myriad nodded.

"Yeah, I heard about those ponies, it takes a guts to be in the Royal Guard..." he chuckled, "... Or from what I heard." JetStream just watched them, going wherever they were sent to, and soon vanished behind the very building they turned to. Corolla motioned a full head of thought, and JetStream could feel a sudden change in the air, like the air suddenly got colder.

"Anyway, I want you two to head out for the market real quick, they'll be closing soon." Corolla pulled a bag from inside the saddle bags she had been wearing.

"I didn't see those before." he pointed at them. She just smiled and hoofed Myriad a ton of gold circular objects, JetStream pointed at them in curiosity.

"What are those?" Corolla showed some in front of him.

"These? They're called bits, we use them to buy things." Myriad looked up from the hoof full of bits.

"What do you have in mind? For me to buy anyway?"

"Oh, yes, we need at least a plentiful amount of food, and then some." Myriad nodded.

"Alright, I'm guessing you will be at the hotel then?" she nodded.

"Yes, now hurry, get there before they close." JetStream motioned a salute.

"Yes ma'am." Corolla playfully shook her head with a smile, but Myriad on the other hoof.

"Good work private, I'm sure you'll get a gold star with that attitude." JetStream sighed, "You still need to work on it." he stated rustling his mane, once he stopped, JetStream changed it back.

"Keep doing that and I'll get another hairstyle..." he mumbled.

"Alright, I guess we'll get going then."

"See you back there Mom." they both waved, Corolla waved back. Soon they reached a corner.

"Oh, wait, Dad. I gotta ask Mom something." Myriad nodded.

"Alright, I'll stand right here."

"Okay, I'll be back really soon." JetStream headed off for the corner that his Mom continued behind, and tried to catch up to her current position, "Mom." she turned shocked.

"Oh, JetStream, weren't you with your Dad?" JetStream nodded, his breathing was slightly altered.

"Y-yeah, I was. But you didn't tell us where the hotel is." her eyes widened in realization.

"Oh, yes well, when you get to the market, there should be a building on the very right of the street that holds all the stands. Go to the sidewalk on the left and enter that building once get to the door, our room is 403." JetStream was quite under shock.

'Oh wow, another high amount of rooms in a hotel.' JetStream nodded, "Okay thanks Mom, once again, we'll see you once we get there." JetStream trotted back to Myriad, who like he had said, was standing right in the same place as when JetStream went off. Myriad kept his focus on JetStream as he approached.

"Well, what was it that you had to ask her?" JetStream sighed.

"To find the hotel in the first place."

"Oh yes, good thinking champ. Okay then, let's go to the market." The trip to the market didn't sound as exciting to JetStream, but the city itself just pushed it out of the way, ponies wherever you look, light posts were just getting around to flicker on. The numbers of ponies seemingly decreased over time went on, and they got closer to the market. Soon the biggest one out of all, it seemed to be stock full of many different foods, but being at a lower level of interest, he didn't bother at what to pick out. But something caught his eye, it was a stand that seemed to sell some sort of alchemy decorations, and it was apparent to JetStream that these were fakes.

"Hey, look at that one." His eyes staring directly, the stand owner took notice.

"You like what you see?" JetStream nodded.

"It looks like the one back at home." The owner's eyes widened.

"Well, it may seem that you have experiences with these before, no?" JetStream shrugged.

"But I seem to think that mine is real..." It was quiet for a while, and the pony sitting behind it chuckled.

"Are you sure?" JetStream nodded for the second time.

"Yeah, mine has an ominous glow when I, and only me is around it, it's like I can feel something warm." The owner had his brow raised.

"Alright, it would be hard to argue with a creative mind, especially for being so young." JetStream nodded for the third time, and started back to Myriad, he continually looked left and right, until he felt something, this sense, it seemed higher with expectations, but it still had more worries, and it felt like it got closer, it felt like it was right behind him, and in turn it crashed into him, making him completely lose his balance.

"Sorry, I'm in a rush!" It turned out to be a Unicorn Mare, but it was hard to catch what he saw, he was stumbling, but as he was, he caught the glimpse of her cutie mark, it was a very saturated yellow and red sun. JetStream was in thought, and in a panicking situation for the first time, he suddenly righted himself, stopping on all fours, and focused.

"Let me get to know you..." he said to nopony in particular. And just before she was too far, her Aura appeared, "It's some sort of dark yellow." JetStream just stood in the middle, soon all he was thinking about at the moment was that young mare, he reached the wall to lean on, and for other ponies to pass, he recited to himself, "Why, such a pony having a color like that, even I want to be that high in rate. If it's yellow, I heard that's a color of, well, it's like you're learning something important, or something. It's usually something you have if you are making it toward high statures... But if it's dark, she might be having struggles, maybe even critical ones." JetStream nodded to himself, and then he took off to find Myriad, who wasn't that far.

"Wow..." A voice appeared out of nowhere as soon as JetStream was out of range, this pony was eaves dropping, to no extent, "He got all that information, just by staring?... How come I don't have that?"

Meanwhile, "I'm back Dad." Myriad turned to him.

"Ah, JetStream, where were you?" He kicked the ground, the sky was a dark mix of purple and blue, and the streets were filled with bright lights that were at least the right brightness to keep monsters away, he continued to dig at the ground.

"Something caught my eye." Myriad slightly shook his head.

"Alright, just let me know next time, it's getting dark." JetStream nodded.

"... Okay." Myriad sighed.

"Okay, we're all ready to go. So, where did she say it was?" JetStream then took a deep breath, then told him everything he remembered, soon after they started to the hotel, entering, and finding their room, where they can finally relax. Corolla seemed to be awaiting them more than they expected, she was around the door to the hallway.

"Oh, I'm glad you're back, you got everything for tonight?" Myriad nodded.

"Yep we do." While on the other hoof, JetStream was trying to maintain his balance, and without warning, crashed to the floor.

"Ye-ep..." he said weakly.

"Here, let me take that." Corolla grabbed the bag's handles with her teeth, JetStream had it on his back, or neck.

"Anyway, I was at the door because of note we got" she held the object up, "I was ever so happy to see who it was from, but I was ecstatic when I saw it with my own eyes." Myriad rose an eyebrow.

"Really? Then who was it from?" She got giddy with excitement.

"... Princess Celestia." JetStream's eyes widened in shock.

"Really? Why us out of all ponies here?" she held the note up to where she could read it.

"Well, apparently after the display of your colt's abilities..." she put the note back down, "She was interested as why JetStream was able to perform such a feat." JetStream wished he was hearing correctly.

'Celestia, out of all of higher ranks, she was interested into what I had done that day.' Just the thought of it made him blush, Myriad nudged him.

"Wow, I'm surprised, what did you do to make her so interested?" JetStream had a theory, but wanted it to be a surprise. Corolla poked in.

"Oh, I guess you're too embarrassed?"

"Or, just the fact that he's just as stunned as me. Anyway, we are going ever there tomorrow, around five o'clock." Everything was really lively, like the atmosphere was sharp and edgy.

"Alright, anyway it's time to go to bed, for all of us." By this time the sun's twilight was gone, and was replaced with stars, the moon was near the top of the sky. And with everypony going to their own beds, it was time for some rest, it will be a big day tomorrow.

~~~Chapter End~~~

JetStream Origins-Epilogue

Epilogue: Goodbye Canterlot, heading for new adventures!

JetStream breathed in deeply as the train started again from the Train Station of Ponyville, it was a long ride, JetStream's hope was to keep the ride as long and short as possible, "Where almost home, and then the whole trip will be over..." JetStream couldn't take his eyes off Ponyville, as if it wanted him to stay, his head perked up and turned to Corolla, "Hey Mom..." she turned to him with a quizzical look, "Do you think, when I'm old enough, I could go to Ponyville?" She scratched her chin.

"That is an interesting idea." Myriad sat up.

"Well, you know, I heard there are ponies around the age of ten going around..." JetStream looked back down, at himself, seeing the sun's yellow light hitting his cyan fur, and mentally sighed.

"The year would be 2010, right?" Corolla nodded.

"Yes, in six years it will be..." she gave a shrug, "Well, just see when we're there." JetStream nodded.

"... Okay." And he looked out the window again and sighed to himself.

'More than one month has passed since we started...' memories flashed in JetStream's eyes, 'Getting that note, and not seeing Mom for four days, and meeting great friends along the way, and luckily, I'll see them once I get back there.' he smiled to himself, 'This may be the end of one story, but another is soon to start.' he sat up from where he was slouched, and smiled brighter.

He had never felt this spirited. The sun was shining with the clickity-clack of the train, the hills were shining there bright green, which will be something grand to their own home.

'... Next time... A new beginning!'
