Another Human Turned into a Pony in Equestria
To Cloudstale!
Previous ChapterNext Chapter"Applejack! Applejack!!!"
"What is it Flitter?" called Applejack form the orchard, "Somethin' up?"
"Look!" I turned to show Applejack my cutie mark, it was glowing and flashing, "What does it mean?"
Before Applejack could reply, there came another yell.
"Applejack! Mah cutie mark is glowin' and flashin'! What does it mean!" yelled Applebloom as she ran over.
"I think it's the map in Twilight's castle calling ya somewhere."
"Oh, yeah! I remember seeing you'er blink before!" said Applebloom, "Come on, Flitter! Let's hurry to Twilight's castle!"
"Sure thing!" I said, "Do you have a wagon or something you could tie to my skateboard?"
After attaching the wagon (like the wagon on Scootaloo's scooter), we were off to Twilight's castle.
"Hey you guys!" yelled Scootaloo as she came out of nowhere, pulling Sweetie Belle in a wagon, "You too?"
"Yeah!" we yelled back.
"Hey, Scootaloo!" I called to her.
"What?"
"Ran ya to the castle!"
"Guys, I don't that's the best idea!" yelled Applebloom and Sweetie.
We accelerated to top speed and went flying towards Twilight's castle. We basically flew into the room with the map and came to a perfect stop. Sweetie Belle and Applebloom ended up going flying out of the back wagons and crashed into Twilight.
"Sorry!" said Scootaloo and I.
"It's fine, it's fine..." said Twilight, "What are you four doing here?"
"Didn't you look at your map?" asked Applebloom.
Twilight turned and saw five (yes, five) cutie marks circling around Cloudstale.
"Oh! I didn't notice. Let's see, we have the cutie marks for you three..." she pointed at the CMC.
"The skateboard one is mine." I piped up.
"Okay, then that one's yours, and there's also-"
"Hey, Twilight! Is the map calling for me?" called Starlight as she ran in, "My cutie mark is glowing and flashing!"
"It is! And these four as well." said said, gesturing to the four of us.
"Ooh! Where are we going?"
"Looks like Cloudstale!" said Twilight.
"Cloudstale?" asked Sweetie, "How are supposed to go to Cloudstale?" she pointed at herself and Applebloom.
"It's a simple spell," said Twilight, "That can make it so you can walk on clouds!"
"Cool!" said Applebloom.
"I can already walk on clouds..." mumbled Starlight, embarrassed.
"Hey, I have another idea!" said Scootaloo, "Rainbow told me about the spell you cast on Rarity that gave her wings, why not give them those?"
"It's really difficult to do the spell, I really doubt that I could do it for both!" said Twilight.
"I could cast the spell on Applebloom and you could cast it on Sweetie Belle!" suggested Starlight, "It would be much safer if they could fly and walk on clouds, so we wouldn't have to worry about them falling!"
"Well..." started Twilight.
The four of us gave Twilight sad faces.
"Fine." she sighed.
Twilight and Starlight faced towards Applebloom and Sweetie Belle. In a flash of light, they each had butterfly wings!
"Awesome!" the four of us yelled.
"Well that was pretty strenuous..." mumbled Twilight.
"I see why you can only do it for one pony at a time!" said Starlight, "Come on! Let's go solve whatever friendship problem is occurring in Cloudstale!"
"Wait!" I said, "We still need to bring a balloon carrier!"
"Oh yeah! Sorry!" said Starlight, who had forgotten that neither Scootaloo nor I could fly.
"It's okay!" said Scootaloo, who was so excited that she didn't even care.
"Whoa! This place is cooler than cool!" said Sweetie Belle.
"It all made of clouds? How is that possible?" wondered Applebloom.
"Is this the place that Rainbow Dash did her Sonic Rainboom?" asked Scootaloo excitedly.
"Yeah!" said Starlight.
I just stared in awe. I'd nearly forgotten that I'd never seen anything like this before. Cloudstale was amazing!
"Let's see if we can find a friendship problem!" said Starlight.
We wandered around, taking in the sights. There were so many different pegasi doing so many different things that it was hard to keep track of what was going on. We ended up walking towards the weather factory.
"Is it wrong that I feel really nervous?" I asked as Starlight helped me put on the safety uniform for the factory.
"I don't think that you have anything to worry about!" she responded.
Just as we were about to go in, we heard someone yell.
"Hey, you four!"
We turned to see a pegasus flying towards us.
"You can't go into the factory with a skateboard!"
It had become so normal for me to be on wheels that I had forgotten that I was on it!
"Oh, sorry! I forgot that I was on it!" I said, "Are you sure I can't stay on my board? I need it to move around."
"Sorry, kid. But no wheels or excessive flying or anything like that around here," he said, "Last time we had a pony on wheels in here, they nearly destroyed all of the snowflakes! You can put your board in a locker, though."
He let me pick and locker (that was sealed with a magic lock) to put my skateboard in.
"Well then" I said, "Guess that someone needs to carry me."
"I'll carry you!" volunteered Applebloom.
"Are you sure?" asked Starlight, "I could just levitate Flitter!"
"No," I said with a slight blush, "It's fine Starlight."
"Yeah!" said Applebloom, "It's fine!"
Starlight levitated me on to Applebloom's back while Scootaloo and Sweetie belle made kissy-faces at us.
"If you need me too, just ask!" said Starlight.
As soon as she turned around, I gave Applebloom a quick peck on the cheek.
We walked into the weather factory and looked around. (Why did I have a bad feeling about this place?) There were ponies making clouds, snowflakes, raindrops, and - lightning bolts?
"I wanna see where they make the rainbows!" said Sweetie Belle.
"That's a great idea!" said Starlight, "Let's ask somepony where they make them."
Starlight walked over to a nearby worker and started to ask him where the rainbows were made.
"Hey, guys! Look at this really co-" said Sweetie Belle, but cut off abruptly.
"What were you saying, Sweetie?" asked Scootaloo as she turned around to see where Sweetie Belle was pointing.
Sweetie Belle wasn't there.
"Sweetie?" I called, "Where did you go?"
When we got no reply, Applebloom called, "Sweetie Belle? Where are you?"
"What's wrong?" asked Starlight.
"We don't know where Sweetie went!" said Scootaloo.
"Okay, no need to panic. Let's just ask if anypony saw her."
We asked as many ponies as we could if they had seen a white unicorn with butterfly wings. Nopony had.
"Where could she have gone?" I asked, panicked.
"I don't know!" said Starlight.
"Wait, has anypony seen Scootaloo?" asked Applebloom.
We looked around and saw that Scootaloo was missing too!
"This is not good!" said Starlight, "How could we lose two fillies just like that?"
"Maybe they went to see the rainbows?" I suggested.
"Yeah!" said Applebloom, "Let's check there!"
Applebloom saw a sign that said Rainbows -> on it and followed it.
"Sweetie Belle? Scootaloo? Are you here?" I called out as soon as we got there.
There was no reply.
"Oh no!" said Applebloom.
"What is it?"
"Where's Starlight?!? She was right behind us!"
Now Starlight was gone too?!?
"This is bad!" I said, "Where did our friends go?"
"Alright, we gotta find somepony to help us!" said Applebloom.
She started running back the way we came. We made it to the locker I had stored by board in and grabbed it out. After some minor complications, Applebloom helped me mount my skateboard and we were out of the factory.
"Where are we going?" I asked as we left the factory.
"Applejack told me that Rainbow Dash had practice with the Wonderbolts in Cloudstale today, so we're goin' to see if she can help!"
"You couldn't find them anywhere?" asked Rainbow Dash.
"We didn't see or hear any of them!" I said to Rainbow.
"Do you think that you could help out?"
"Definitely!" Rainbow said, "But first I need to tell the others why I have to miss practice."
She flew out of the locker room we were in towards the training area.
"Where do you think they are?" asked Applebloom.
"I don't know!" I said, "But we'll find them!"
We waited for several more minutes.
"Rainbow sure is taking her time..." said Applebloom nervously.
Suddenly, Soarin' walked into the locker room.
"Have you guys seen Rainbow Dash? She's late for practice!" he said.
"Wait, you don't know where she is?" I asked.
"No, do you guys know where she is?"
"She was gonna help us find some of our friends who went missin', but now Rainbow's missin' too!" said Applebloom.
"Missing?" said Soarin', he sounded really concerned, "That's not a good sign..."
"Soarin'!" called a voice, "Have you found out where Rainbow Dash is?"
Spitfire walked in to the locker room.
"She's missing!" said all three of us.
"Missing?" asked Spitfire, "That's not a good sign..."
"That's what I said!" said Soarin'.
"Soarin' you get the rest of the team and have them start looking!"
Soarin' saluted and flew off towards the field. Spitfire looked worried as she followed him.
"This is bad!" said Applebloom, "First Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo and Starlight, but now Rainbow Dash?!?"
"We'd better go to Twilight!" I said, "She'll know what to do!"
We hurried out of the building and zoomed towards our balloon carrier.
"Oh no!" said Applebloom as we arrived.
Our balloon carrier was completely deflated. It had a huge tear in the side of it and the basket was missing.
"How are we supposed to get to Ponyville now?" said Applebloom.
I paused to think, then the only idea came into my head, "Applebloom," I said, "I can't fly, but you can."
"You mean I need to fly down to Ponyville while carrying you? But I've never flown!"
"Don't worry! You can just glide!" I said.
"Are you sure?" she asked.
I gave Applebloom a kiss on the cheek, "I trust you."
Soon, I was on Applebloom's back. My skateboard was in a bag we had made form the wreaked balloon carrier.
"Alright, you just need to spread out your wings and lightly step off the clouds." I said, "You can do this!"
"I guess so..." said Applebloom.
She walked near the edge of the clouds we were standing on. Applebloom spread out her butterfly wings and started walking towards the edge of the clouds. Before she could properly step off, we were hit by something behind us that knocked us off the clouds!
"Aaaaaaaah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" yelled Applebloom.
"Applebloom!" I yelled, "Spread out your wings!"
Applebloom managed to spread her wings out.
"I'm doin' it! I'm doin' it! I'm-"
But Applebloom stopped as I slipped off her back, and fell down.
"Aaaaaaaaah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I screamed, "Somepony help me!"
