Reborn as a dragon
Chapter 25 trouble returns
Previous ChapterNext ChapterAfter getting Spike home I went back to the farm to clean up the mess that the terrible terrors had made, it was hard to clean up with how much there was, but I got it done and since I did so much my parents decided to give me the rest of the day off, but I really had nothing planned.
I walked through town looking for something that I might find fun.
"Hey, have you heard a noble came into town a few minutes ago?" I heard a mare ask another mare as I passed by.
'A noble is in town, wonder what somepony from Canterlot is doing here.' I said in my head as I kept walking but my curiosity got the best of me so I turned around and asked.
"Sorry for butting in, but do you know where the noble went?" I asked, the mare.
"I believe he went to your place Spyro, something about his son or something like that." She told me as they started walking away.
'I should head back, this noble might cause trouble.' I thought as I spread my wings, and started flying back home.
I couldn't think why a noble would be here and I didn't care if he caused trouble then he'll have to deal with me.
I was flying over the house now, and I could already feel something in the air that put me on edge. I started to resend and I could hear them talking.
"I believe my son would be a perfect match for Applejack they're just about the same age, and he's no stranger to hard work." A voice said, so I quietly walked in.
"It's not really our decision to make." I heard my mom say as I peeked into the living room. Mom, Dad, Granny Smith, and Applejack sat in front of a unicorn stallion both his eyes and mane were the color of gold and his fur was a gray, and his cutie Mark was a pile of gold.
"I'm sorry, Gold Rush, but I can't accept this proposal I already have my eyes on somepony else." Applejack said.
'Wait she has a crush this is new.' I thought and I saw the stallion smile, but something told me it was fake, as I watched.
"Oh I had kept my eye on you for a bit, and thought you were single what is this stallion's name?" He asked, and my dad didn't like that he was watching her.
"What do you mean you've been keeping your eye one her?" He asked angrily, but Gold Rush stayed calm, as he smile.
"I mean nothing bad by it, there have been a few cases where mares marry into noble houses only to get a position of power, so I keep an eye on those that catch my son's attention to see who's good, and who's bad, your a father like me surely you can understand my worry."Gold Rush said calming my father, as he nodded in understanding.
"While I don't like that you have been watching her I can't argue with that." He said as he took a deep breath.
"Well to answer you second question, I don't want to say his name?" Applejack told him, as she blushed, and I saw his smile twitching for a moment before saying.
"I'm sorry for wasting your time I'll be on my way." Gold Rush said as he got up, and I jumped, then clung to the roof. I didn't want him to see me, so I could see what he does when he thinks he's not seen.
As he got into the hallway his smile fell, and glared as he walked out the door. ' This won't turn out well.' I thought as I got off the ceiling, and walked into the living room.
"Until I get news from Celestia I don't think anyone should leave the house." I said surprising everypony.
"Why is that?" Mom asked.
When I saw him leave his smile disappeared and was replaced with a glare as he walked out." I told them. "The only reason he came was to get more power by having an element of harmony marry into his family."
"Well that no good rotten." Dad said before I interrupted.
"Calm down, I'm going to send a letter to Celestia so she can deal with this, but until then we need to be careful, this is a noble, and I've heard how many of them will do anything to get what they want." I explained and they began to look worried as they looked at each other.
"Applejack, it's best you stay in the house till I get a response from the Princess sound good." I told Applejack, as she got up from where she was sitting.
"Ok I'll try, but you should head over to Twilight right away, I don't want to be cooped up here for long." She told me, and I started to walk out of the room, but before I did I said.
"And Applejack, I hope this stallion accepts your feelings." I said, and I saw her blush as I walked out of the room then flew towards Twilight's house.
As I did I saw Gold Rush board a train heading towards Canterlot, but I didn't have time to waste as I landed at Twilight's library then walked in.
"Hey Twilight you here I need to send an urgent letter to Celestia." I said, then Spike came down.
"Twilight's not here right now but I can send it just tell me what to write." He said as he pulled out a price of paper and quill.
"Ok then." I said then cleared my throat. "Dear Celestia it seems a Canterlot noble, has come to Ponyville to visit my home, he wanted Applejack to marry his son but after she declined, I kept an eye on him, and he showed obvious signs that he would come back for her, and this time he wouldn't give her a chance, if you would please talk to Gold Rush about this so we don't have to worry about this, I have already told Applejack to stay home in the meantime until you send your reply, From Spyro." I said as he wrote it all down, but as I said it all he looked more and more worried, then he sent it with his flames
