I followed the two mares outside to a field that was secluded from the town upon the horizon. "Okay then, ready for an observation?" Twilight eagerly nodded her head while Fluttershy was reluctant. I nodded back, "You might want to step back." They both did as warned and I got to work. My horn glowed white as snow and the magic I produced started to take effect. I became surrounded in a glow and the magic took form on my back.

Within a few seconds a pair of natural looking white wings with black lining on the bone appeared. Twilight looked stunned and Fluttershy hid behind her. I opened my eyes and gave my wings a few flaps. "Oh my gosh, I've never seen such natural looking wings made from magic. How did you do it?" Twi asked as she circled me. I decided not to answer her but instead smirked and took to the skies. I did a few flips before landing on a cloud, "You've got questions, I've got answers. Catch me and I'll talk." I taunted her a little. 'Let's see if she'll take the bait.' I thought. She then flew up, the hunger for knowledge deep in her eyes, fueling her to have her questions answered. I took off and landed on a cloud farther away as she reached the first one. She got a determined look in her eye and gave chase as I started to play her ignorance by staying away from her.

I then began to play a game of tag with her by flying out into the distance.
"Get back here! Stop running!" She yelled from the distance between us. I laughed playfully as I flipped onto my back, flew backwards and waved nonchalantly while sticking out my tongue. "Grrrrrr, I'll get you for that." she growled under her breath and began to pick up speed. I turned myself over and kept going, as I did I could see what the princess told me was the place I'll be staying. 'My pet and things should be there by now.' I thought to myself, and flew down to land. My wings shattered into magic dust as I made my way to the front door of my new home. Twilight and I both yelped when she forgot how to stop and ended up using me as a landing cushion. I forgot she was following me. I groaned and managed to crawl from under her and helped her up. "Thanks. I'm sorry, I keep forgetting I don't know how to land." she gave an embarrassed chuckle as she said that.

"It's alright, I forgot you were following me," I admitted. "I have to check on a few things inside my new place. Do you mind waiting out here?"

"I would have hoped you'd invite me inside. You know, after that whole chasing you thing. But I will wait if you don't want me in your home." she looked away, a bit of a frown on her face. I sighed and opened the door to offer her in. She smiled again and gladly trotted through the door. The outside was made of simple brick and tile. The interior however was breathtaking, with shag carpeting made of sheep wool. The walls and ceiling were painted white and a golden chandelier hung from above. Black faux leather furniture sat around the room, surrounding a fireplace at the far end of the room which was lit and a black furry creature was curled up on a rug beside it, napping. The creature stirred and looked up, it's cerulean eyes catching mine and it rushed to meet me. It then spotted Twilight opened it's insect-like wings, hissed, and went on the defensive.

Twilight yelped in fear and hid behind me. "Charles, no! We have a guest and I expect you to behave. Now stop scaring my new friend and go back to your nap right now mister!" I scolded the beast with a look of anger. Charles did as told and went back to lying on the rug, but instead of napping he kept an eye on the new face in the house. "I apologize for not warning you first. But when you have a pet like Charles you tend to forget who they like."
Twilight peeked out from behind me and said, "It looks like a changeling. Why do you have a changeling for a pet?! That's dangerous!"
I gave her a skeptical look and explained, "He may look and have the abilities of one, but I assure you he is not one of those monsters. Charley, change into a puppy and stop being rude to our guest." the creature did as told and changed into an adorable beagle pup. He then got up and calmly walked up to Twilight. She was skeptical at first but held out her hoof for Charles to sniff. He got in a few whiffs and started to wag his tail as he smiled. He nuzzled her leg and barked happily. Twilight awed and petted the once scary puppy. "See, he's not so bad once you get to know him." I said.

A knock came to the door and I went to answer it. Once I opened the door I came face to face with a pink earth pony and a cyan pegasus. "See Dashy, I told you there was a new pony in town. I told you, I told you, I told you." The pink one said to the rainbow mane colored mare.
"Alright, alright. But that doesn't explain the pegasus Twi was chasing earlier. This guy's a unicorn." said the one called 'Dashy', which probably is just a nickname.

"I can explain. That was me, if you want to know the details then you can ask your friend inside." I said as I opened the door wider for them to enter. The both of them gave me a weird look, but entered the house anyway. I shut the door and walked into another room.

Later that day

I spent an hour or two in my new study. Looking over a few potions and books Celestia sent over from Canterlot. I trotted into the living room where I saw Twilight siting in a chair reading a book of her own, Charley curled between her fore hooves. 'Dashy' was there as well and seemed a little bored and somewhat impatient, but I couldn't find any sign of the pink mare anywhere. 'I didn't think they'd still be here.' I thought to myself as Charles noticed me. He jumped away from Twilight, walked over and nuzzled my right foreleg. Twilight glanced up from her book and grinned at my presence.
The rainbow haired mare spoke up as I entered further, "Finally. I've been waiting for, like, two hours hoping to know how you got those wings."
"It's just a flight spell. Really simple if you ask me." I explained.
Twilight looked at me like I was crazy and said, "The last time I tried a flight spell it took all my abilities, and they were extremely fragile. I could never have made authentic wings like yours."

"Well then I guess you'll have to practice that spell some more cause that's how mine are so realistic. What did you make yours out of? Gossamer and morning dew?"
She gave a nervous laugh, "Yes." I face-hoofed, "But remember it did take a lot of magic to make them, so you could say they were beginner level wings." she said while scratching the back of her neck.

"Okay, now that that's out of the way I want to know how good you are at flying. How about a race?" said the cyan mare.
"How about you introduce yourself first before challenging somepony you just met? I find it quite ridiculous not knowing who you are." I quoted to the still unknown-to-me filly.

"You mean you haven't heard of me!? Rainbow Dash!? The fastest flyer in equestria, and only pegasus ever to perform the Sonic Rainboom!?" she said in a flabbergasted yet bragging tone. "How do you not know me!?

"Ohhhh, your the one who's said to have the ability to break the sound barrier and color light spectrum at the same time. That makes sense." I said and then thought, 'Fuck, does she always brag about herself like that?' I spoke again, "I graciously accept your challenge Miss Dash. But what say we wait 'til after lunch? My treat."

The two mares looked at each other and nodded. Twilight then turned back to me, "We would love to take you up on your offer Mr. Mage. Where should we go?" Twilight asked politely.
"You may decide where we shall dine. Your brilliant mind must know of some place good to eat." I complemented causing her to blush slightly.
"Okay then, let's go." she said her blush still occupying her face. She then led me and Rainbow outside. "Follow me. I know just where to go."


Author's Note

If your still reading this story it means you either have nothing to do or you're actually interested in it. And in case your wondering why the chapter doesn't have a title, it because I didn't care enough to put one. If you have an idea for a title to the chapter then leave it in the comments or something, I don't care.

Also if you've gone this far into the story I thank you for ignoring the authors note I put in the last chapter and I promise things will get better by chapter 5, maybe.
