Twilight and The Cutie Mark Thief - Part 3

Previous Chapter

"And that is why I believe me and you would make an extraordinary pair, the social benefits that you will achieve from becoming my mare will be exemplary me being the most desirable stallion in all -"

Twilight zoned out as the stallion droned on and on about how she would 'gain a better social status' if she were to agree to marry him.

"Well that sounds lovely Blueblood" Twilight interrupted almost sarcastically but somehow still polite, causing the unicorn to frown.  Twilight had already dealt with two nobles and had another one after Blueblood, so she really didn't have time to deal with his constant everlasting flow of nonsense.

"Ah so when do you propose the wedding should be Twilight?" The White Unicorn stood proudly, as if he had just won a prize.

"Excuse me?"

"You agree to my terms do you not? So there is no reason to -"

"I have not agreed to anything and please do not call me Twilight." The Alicorn interrupted again frustrating Blueblood.

"Well then 'Princess'" Blueblood complained, putting extra sarcasm on the word 'princess' "What exactly is the problem? You can not seriously be telling me that the rumours of you being with that...ugh.. Average unicorn are true!? The idea of - " Blueblood started to rant.

"Scilence!" Twilight interrupted for the last time. "I am afraid I could never see myself with a pony who believes that he is above all, especially after how you treated Rarity at the Gala a few moons ago."

"That unicorn mare with the nagging attitude? How can you expect me to deal with a mare who wants me to do things for her! My status was not enough for the greedy mare and I see no reason why I should be punished for it!"

"This meeting is over Blueblood, I will not accept being with such an arrogant pony, no matter how popular you are. Rarity is my friend, I know that she is definitely NOT a greedy pony. I think you need to leave." Blueblood frowned and opened his mouth to talk "NOW!!" Twilight roared at him.

"Well I never." The unicorn mumbled on his way out of the castle.

sigh One more to go. I wonder what Sunset is up to now. Twilight thought to herself.

On The Train To Canterlot

"Eyup, wow really? You don't say." Were Sunsets only comments on Derpy's oh so captivating stories about the adventures that her and Doctor Whooves had undertaken. Sunset were 100% sure we're not true: "So what is bringing you to Canterlot?" She interrupted Derpy in hoped to give her mind a break.

"Oh I need to collect some....some....erm..." Derpy frowned while she thought. "Zygon eggs!" Derpy jumped up in excitement slapping Sunset in the face by accident causing her to fall off of her seat in shock. ".....I think." The Pegasus said clearly oblivious to what she had done for a few moments before looking behind her, "Oh you okay Sunset?".

"Zygon eggs?" Sunset looked at Derpy with disbelief, "I'm gonna regret this but oh please Derpy tell me: what are Zygon eggs?" Sunset asked with frustration at her curiosity.

"Well - "

Back At The Castle

Another noble walked into Twilights castle with two servants carrying a chalk board behind him making her feel this increasing amount of dread creeping up her spine and twisting her stomach.

Just as he opened his mouth to speak the Princess saw her cutie mark staring to glow, after recovering from the surprise Twilight had never been happier to have the map call her. "I am sorry but we will have to re schedule this." She quickly stated before the noble could utter a word. The suitor looked at her as if she were mad.

The suitor looked at her as if she were mad. "Why ever would we do that?"

"I have some business to attend to, please reschedule for a later date." Twilight dismissed the pony as she cantered past him into the throne/map room, to see her cutie mark over what appeared to be a giant cloud littered with rainbows. "Cloudsdale? Why would it send me there instead of somepony like Rainbow?" Twilight thought aloud after noticing that ONLY her cutie mark stood over Cloudsdale.

"Hey Twilight wh- woah! You've been called somewhere! That's great." Spike said enthusiastically as he walked into the same room.

"Spike can you write a letter to Princess Cadence rescheduling our meeting, I have to take a trip to Cloudsdale." Twilight flapped her wings once as if that would get the point across.

"On it! Seeing as you have wings now you can walk on the clouds too....can I come? I don't have a cutie mark so how would you know if it wants me there or not." Spike noted. As he finished his sentence the map began to glow a deep maroon and little dark red flames circled around it.

The purple Alicorns' pupils shrunk to the side of peas, "I'm guessing that's how we'll now that you can't come with me." Twilight assumed with confusion. The moment she said that the flames dispersed and the portal changed back to its original colour.

"Woah, this must really be important." Spike worried, pulling out a pen and paper to write a note to Cadence.

White Fang who had been napping in the corner looked at the map and growled.

**I will come along Twilight, the map will accept me coming with you.**

Twilight nodded to the Dream eater and began to walk outside. "Spike one other thing, don't tell the girls about my absence unless they ask, there is no need to worry them while they are supposed to be enjoying the Cutie Mark Crusaders party." The little welpling nodded "See you later Spike" She said as she and White Fang took off to Cloudsdale.

"Bye Twilight...Stay safe" The baby dragon mumbled in worry as he watched the two figures fly away.
