How do the Stars twinkle?

The rest of the week at Rarity's was fun for the whole household. Sweetiebelle was overprotective of Dusk, one time she kicked Caramel in his stallionhood when he made a comment about her being a fake alicorn. In return Dusk helped Sweetiebelle on her magic, by Thursday she could pick up Dusk and Rarity a huge improvement.

Rarity enjoyed the small alicorns company, as Dusk had a eye for colors and where to put the perfect amount of poof. Dusk was happy. She loved her big cousin, they did karaoke and braided each other manes. And of course they did stupidly dangerous stunts to get Sweetiebelle's cutie mark, still unsuccessful as of now.

The stars now reacted to Dusk's emotions when they weren't positioned already, she semed to always be happy so the stars danced to the sound of her heartbeat. She was always happy, except in the morning then she had a temper to match Sombra. And Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon haven't bothered anypony all week.

But alas the week seemed to pass quickly too quickly for the household, even Opal was sad to see the filly leave. But a deal was a deal, this week it was Rainbow who was to watch over the filly. "When is she going to be here?" Dusk asked irritated dangling upsidedown on the back of the couch, Rarity rubbed her forehead internaly groaning at Rainbow who was five hours late! Sure she was fashionably late, but five hours was pushing it to an extreme.

Sweetie was lazily stroking Opal, who at this point was also bored. Dusk smiled and hopped onto Rarity's back and glided outside perched on a rock she looked at the sky "FREE APPLE CIDER" she yelled making Rarity jump and, causing Sweetie to step on Opal's tail. But it had the needed affect, a multicolored blur zipped out of the sky and skidded to a stop infront of Dusk. "Where's the cider" Rainbow asked scanning the surrounding area for the crisp liquid, Dusk burst out laughing actualy falling off the rock in the midst of her laughter. Pinkie would be proud. Rainbow frowned "no cider?" She asked heartbroken, Dusk rolled her eyes and nuzzled her cheek.

Rarity stormed out of the boqutie clearly furrious at the rainbow maned mare, who gulped and tried to fly away. Only to be caught in a blue aroua and yanked backwards, a orange duffle bag dropped on her back flattening her to the earth under the sheer weight. Dusk chirped and hopped on her head bending over to look at Rainbows eyes "i love your eyes" she said hopping onto Sweetie's back as she trotted out to see what the comotion was about.

Rainbow face hooved "it was my week wasn't it" she asked, Dusk chirped her small wing fluttering. Rarity smiled glad that she threw to the mare turnning to Dusk, "Good bye my dear Duskie, you will be missed greatly. Do visit though, i think Sweetie misses being the big sister" Rarity said nuzzling her, Dusk smiled and nuzzled back "I'll miss you guys too" she said nuzzling Sweeties ear in affection. She chirped and hopped of Sweetie and glided to the flabergasted pegasus, still being semi-crushed by her bag.

Dusk grabbed her bag in her magic with a certin finesse that few had, Rainbow gasped and breathed in the wonderful air. Dusk smiled at the funny mare and walked onto her back, the feeling of small smooth hooves subconsciously massaging her ligaments startled Dashie. Trying not to be bucked off Dusk sat down and wrapped her tail around Rainbow's waist, "what" Dusk asked tilting her head. "Y-y-you're standing on me" Rainbow fumbled trying to find a reason that didn't make her sound like a scardy cat.

She couldn't.

"Well i can't fly yet silly, and you live in a cloud mansion right?" She explained. Rainbow face hooved for the what had to be the fifth time that day, "Alright Twinkle, better hold on" Rainbow said already in a crouching position, Dusk wrapped her hooves around  Rainbows neck. Rainbow took of into the sky doing a few corkscrews to impress the princess. Dusk squeaked and buried her head into Rainbows mane, "Whats the matter Twinkle? Don't like heights?" Rainbow asked slowly making her way to her house, Dusk sqeaked again and gripped rainbows waist tighter with her tail.

Rainbow rolled her eyes "Come one Twinkle, i don't speak mouse" Dusk risked lifting one hoof to firmly thump Rainbows chest in a stallion-like way. Rainbow laughed at the weak attempt of affection. "I like you Twinkle, oh right listen i have another fillie over right now, Scootaloo, i watching her for her parents. So play nice and don't shove her off any clouds she can't fly yet." Dusk's ears perked up lifting her face from Rainbow's mane "she can't fly?" She asked in a curious voice her grip losining slightly

"Yes now don't go and tease her about it she's really sensitiv-mphh" Rainbow gaged as Dusked shoved a hoof in her mouth " i can't fly either" she said softly, removing her hoof from Rainbows mouth "but ive seen you fly around the castle, and town" Dusk snorted "Thats called gliding, not flying" she said before shoving her face back into the mane. Rainbow hummed thougtfuly deep in thought, "Your'e Pengiun" she said out loud gently touching down at her house.

Dusk released her grip tapping Rainbows head " for what" she asked amused catching the breeze with her wings. Rainbow spread her wing like a plank so Dusk could walk off, but Dusk tapped the base of Rainbow's wing making her wing recoil. "Ok, were here you can get off now" Rainbow said impatiently Dusk chirped softly "were still a ways from the house, my legs are... weak they are aparently underdeveloped compared to the rest of me. Insernt some unicorns explanation of how magic made ponies don't live past a month, and are weaker than a normal pony, blah blah blah. The usual" she said dramaticly in a Rarity like fashion, Rainbow chuckled at the small alicorn trotting along hooves squishing the cloud.

A crash and what sounded like a special sound effects box being over used, was heard from the house Rainbow cursed and flew to her house barraling though the wall not aware that Dusk didn't make it through the wall with her.

Scootaloo tried to hide under the rug, "Scootaloo i told you not to do hoofball in the house!" Rainbow yelled sweeping up the broken objects with her wings. Scootaloo sniffed the air Rainbow smelled off. Like changling and lunar dust with a hint of Sweetiebelle, "where's your passanger?" Scoot asked curiously trying to pinpoint the smell.

Rainbow froze her wings flexing she cursed violently and flew through the wall Scoot followed her sniffing around to find the trail "were are you Pengiun" Rainbow muttered scanning the surounding clouds. Scoot caught it the scent ran into the wall bounced off and fell off the cloud, "Rainbow the scent leads this way" she called pointing to the earth, Rainbow's blood ran cold she just let the princess of the stars fall of a cloud, Luna's daughter.

She let her Pengiun fall off a cloud, and Pengiuns can't fly.
