Going Home
Apples and feathers
Previous ChapterNext ChapterWe all sat at the table, drinking tea. Cloud Wonders was telling us a story about how she came home to se her daughter, Petal Skies and Fluttershy's adopted daughter, Daisy Dash in the middle of a kitchen disaster.
"So I come home to see my kitchen a mess, all the books in the library were on the floor, and Petal and Daisy standing right in the middle of it! That's also how I discover we had a kitchen." She told us. We laughed. The fillies frowned.
"We were making you a cake!" Petal complained. Daisy nodded. Daisy was a light green/yellow pegasus with a light blue and pink mane. Compared to Petal -who in fact was tiny- was a giant. She was slightly bigger than a normal pegasus fillie so if Daisy accently stepped on Petal's wing it would probably break.
"So, Daisy Dash? How did you choose that name?" Pinkie asked. Flutters slipped her tea.
"Well, I have a very dear friend who has always stood up for me, I haven't seen her in a few years though. So well, her original name was just 'Dasiy' but I thought about my friend." Fluttershy told her. Wow, I wonder if any other of our friends have foals of their own. Maybe Applejack and Rarity, but not Rainbow. I snorted thinking about how much Dash would complain about the pregnancy.
"Wait, wasn't there a famous Wonderbolt named Rainbow Dash?" Cloud asked. I nodded. Spike got down and told the girls thst he would play with them. Spike had grown a lot since we saw Fluttershy, tips of wings were starting to grown on his back. The girls sqeeled, and they raced off around the corner.
"Yes, she was a dear friend. But..." Fluttershy's voice wandered off. I sipped my tea.
"But..." Pinkie urgered her to continue. Fluttershy looked down.
"I better show you." She said getting up and starting to look through a filing cabinet. After a minute, she came back up with an envelope and letter in her mouth. She brought it back over to the table and spit them out.
To: Fluttershy, Cottage near the edge of the Everfree Forest.
From: Rainbow Dash, Classified the envelope read. Fluttershy open the letter and read it out loud.
"'Dear Fluttershy,
Being a Wonderbolt is the best thing that has and probably will happened to me. But they offered me a new job that I can't refuse. Like at all. So I am sorry, but I will not see you, or write letters to you for a while. I am also sorry, because I cannot tell you why. It will break my heart in two. But this is a big deal for me. So I will not be attending your pet tea party on Saturday with Tank. I won't also see you in a few months at the best. Don't worry, I'll stay as awesome as ever.
So sorry,
Dashie.'" When Fluttershy was done reading all I could do was open and close my mouth, and Pinkie wasn't much better. Fluttershy on the other hoof looked at verge of tears. Cloud Wonders got up, said goodbye, and left with Petal Skies.
"Wait, you and Dashie had pet tea parties without me?" Pinkie asked. Fluttershy blushed.
"Well, it was more like a picnic than a party. But the important thing is she sent this year's ago! And only said a few months!" Fluttershy looked down at the letter and wept. Why hasn't Dash sent any letter to any of us, she was -is- the element of loyalty.
"Dash is the element of loyalty I am sure she hasn't sent us letters for a reason and she said herself, 'it will break my heart in two'. I'm sure she misses us." I sighed. If only had a tacking spell put on all of them! Wait? Didn't my mom do that to me? I was think of tracking spells when it hit me, I pounded my hoof on the table.
"If only I had one of her feathers! I could use a tracking spell!" I said. Pinkie looked at me her eyes wide. "Pinkie, do you have one of Dash's feathers?" I asked. Pinkie giggled.
"Nope dope!" She said. "But I think I know who might!" She said bouncing up and down and out the door. "Come on, Twi!" She called. I looked at Fluttershy. She sipped her tea.
"Are you coming with us?" I asked. She looked around for a moment then looked at Dasiy.
"Dasiy, can you help Harry and Angel feed the chicken, brids, and otters?" She asked. Daisy's eyes grew big and she nodded and ran outside. Fluttershy for up and looked at Twilight.
"She should take a while. This better be quick!" She said. And we raced after Pinkie.
A few minutes later we found ourselves at Sweet Apple Acres. I rasied an eyebrow. Then I heard somepony talking about how to bake a pie correctly. Pinkie walk up to the door and knocked. A few seconds later Applejack poked her head our the door. We she saw us she opened the door and gave us a hug.
"Can't believe it! It's been ages!" She said.
"Mom! I broke the egg!" A small colts voice said. A small fit of laughter came from the same room.
"Petal! Applejack was very nice to let you learn how to make pie, so be respectful!" Cloud's voice said.
"Sorry mama." Petal's voice said.
"Sorry y'all. I got Cloud Wonders and her fillie over learn how bake a pie, with me and Northern Spy." Applejack said, backing up to let us in. We troted. It's not like I didn't like Applejack, but I didn't understand one thing.
"Pinkie, are saying Applejack has one of Rainbow's feathers?" I asked Pinkie. She looked confused.
"We were looking for Dashie's feathers? Oh yeah! APPLEJACK DO YOU STILL HAVE THE JARS IN YOUR CLOSET?!" Pinkie screamed, even though Applejack was standing two feet away from her. Applejack rubbed her ears with her hooves, Fluttershy and I did the same.
"Ugh, yeah." She replied. Pinkie seemed to be satisfied with her answer. Because she smiled and started to hop up the stairs to Applejack's bedroom.
"Come on girls!" She said in her normal cherry voice. Fluttershy leaned over to whisper in my ear.
"Uhm what did she say? I think I blew an eardrum." She hissed. Before I couod answer Cloud Wonders and Petal Skies came in.
"We should probably leave Applejack, it near her bedtime anyway. Have a good evening!" She said trotting in and out of the room. A small light red colt bursted threw the door of the kitchen. He was young maybe a year younger than Petal. But he was strong. He ran to the door and waved goodbye.
"Bye, Cloud! Bye, Petal!" He called. Petal looked back and waved back. His smile widened. After he couldn't see them anymore he trotted over to them.
"Hi! I'm Northern Spy! You must be Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, and Princess Twilight Sparkle! But Princess, you do know that Twilight doesn't really Sparkle? Right?" He asked. Applejack walked over to him.
"Cloud was right it is time for bed." Spy tried to complain. But he walked up to bed.
"Come on y'all. Let's get up there before Pinkie does." She told them and they trotted up the stairs.
