As we trudge into Rarity's home, she heads off to the kitchen to put on a pot of tea. As she does so, I turn to the CMC, as they have told me to call them, and ask "Hey, which of you is the fastest? I need you to go get Twilight. It might make my night easier if I can explain to her now."

Scootaloo perks up at this and rushes over, "I'm the fastest one here, especially on a scooter. I'll go get Twilight and bring her here."

"Thanks." I say as she grabs a scooter, as I am then told she has multiple around town, in case of scooter emergencies.

Rarity walks back in from the kitchen with a tray filled with different types of tea, and a second tray of scones and cookies.

"I didn't know what type of tea you liked, darling, so I brought multiple types for you to pick from. If you don't like any that I have, i'm sorry." she says, setting the two trays on a coffee table and waving at the different choices. Their was Earl Grey, Chai, Green, Lemon, Oolong, Black, White, Puer, and many more that I couldn't name if I tried.

I decide to pick a lemon tea flavor and graciously accept a cup from Rarity. Dunking my tea in my cup, I set it down to let it steep. After a few seconds of silence, the door to the boutique flies open, and Scootaloo comes rushing in, with Twilight right behind her. The young pegasus is panting, but is grinning from ear to ear.

"I got to her as quick as I could." she says, still slowly catching her breath.

"You wanted to talk to me? Why?" Twilight asks with a questioning look at me.

"Yeah. I just fought off a manticore, and they wanted to ask me some questions, so I decided to hit two birds with one stone, and answer some of your questions as well." I say, looking at her for any doubt of what I might have said.

"WAIT, you fought a manticore. When, where, how?" she says, not willing to accept the fact that I had done something so reckless.

"It's true, darling. Cameron here was quite valiant in stopping the beast, and making it flee back to the forest with some fairly severe injuries." Rarity says in my defense.

"The answer to those questions is just a few moments ago, just outside, and with my sword." I say as I pull out my invisible Excalibur once more.

"I guess that would explain the blood on you." Twilight replies to this, looking at the shimmering air in my grasp, "But I don't see a sword. Where is it?"

"It's here." and I quickly move it to her face, lightly touching her cheek with the edge. " It's just invisible to everyone, so that when i am fighting, it makes it harder for my enemy to know how much reach my blade has, or how thick or thin it is, if it has one edge or two, or even from realizing the blade itself, cause it is quite legendary. And no, I wont tell you it's name Twilight." to which she looks severely disappointed.

"Now, i'm going to go take a shower and change. I apparently still have blood on me. Miss Rarity, where is your shower room?"

"Please darling, just call me Rarity. And it's up the stairs and at the end of the hall." she says as she points to the stairs. "Just use whichever shampoos you like, I don't mind sharing."

"Thank you. I'll explain everything when I get done and changed." I say as I head up the stairs, thinking of where to start telling them my story.

Author's Note

Hey guys sorry for the short chapter, i'm going to explain everything in the coming chapters. This means that the next few might also be slightly smaller than most of the other chapters coming later on. But for now, next episode we get a view of the types of things my requip power can bring out of my storage pocket.
