Dogfight Squadron

After dealing with the griffins, we went across Equus for diplomatic reasons. Passing through the monkeys of Monquista, the Seaponies of the cities Pacifica and Atlantia, the dogs of Marelybone, the bears of Grizzleheim, the pigs and cows of Moo Shu, and finally, the Dragons of the South, I had a pretty good round the world vacation.

The Enterprise turned in for final approach to Cloudsdale, and I raised the colored flags. Now nineteen years old, I was more cut out on the physical part of life on a skyship.

Enterprise cast out her mooring lines, the gangways were lowered, and the sailors all began to leave to meet their family.

I looked around the ship one last time. "Thank you." Then I changed to my pony form, and flew down to the docks. I had nothing important that I brought; Enterprise could keep all my belongings.

My hooves touched the clouds, and I looked around for some familiar faces. None. Well, I did have a tight schedule. I turned towards the Wonderbolts Academy and began to fly.

Just Ten Seconds After I Disappeared From Visual Range

Princess Twilight, Jeff, and a black alicorn ran into SkyPier 62.

"Do you see him, mom?" Nyx asked.

"No...Maybe he's inside. We just have to wait." Jeff folded his arms. "I still don't trust that cloud walking spell..."

I sighed as I went into my office. The stuff on the Cessna Citation had been offloaded before it was shot down, and were all in a closet. I picked  out a movie.

Battle of Britan, ah, a classic. I thought. In the hangar separated by a window, my Corvus Racer sat patiently, dust covering the bird. The wreck of my Spiteful and the Skyraider also were there, waiting for the day I decided to let them fly again.

I was interrupted by a loud, single knock. "Cuz? You in there?"

*Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh* "Yes, I am..." I took a coke and took a sip.

Jeff, Twilight (with freaking wings), and another black alicorn entered.

"Who's the new guy?"

"Gal. Her name's Nyx."

I sat there, watching the entire "repeat, please!" air battle.

"Um...what's your name?" Nyx asked in her squeaky voice. "Is it Cuz?"

"No. Joseph." *glug*

The three looked at me with worry.

As I prepared to go to bed, a bright flash nearly blinded me. I turned to see...me.

"What?"

"I'm you several years from now. I just came to tell you to not be bothered by the new ponies; they will never replace you."

"Yeah. No. I don't-"

"Please...You gotta listen to me."

It was then that I noticed the pot belly of future-me. He was unshaven, and he smelt of elderberries.

I stood there for I-don't-know-how-long. He flashed away, leaving me to my thoughts.
