Look Inside Your Heart Part One.

Chapter 4: When You Realize The Truth Hurts.

I quickly sat up and fell through the cloud I had been sleeping on. I spread my large transparent wings and caught myself. It was me I killed them. You finally remember what happened. Of course I do it's all your fault you made me do it. I Didn't do anything I just gave you the idea. I would never hurt an innocent. Those ponies would beg to differ. That wasn't me it was you. Well well well look at who's full of himself. "Shut up leave me alone, get outta my head." I covered my ears and trembled violently.

"Hey are you okay Cress?" Skies stopped and hovered beside me.

"Go away I don't want to hurt you." My voice faded between mine and my father's. "Leave me alone." My wings started to vibrate faster and I shot straight up.

"Hey don't leave me here." Skies shouted and gave pursuit. "You're still under arrest." I could hear his wings flapping and I knew he was gaining. "I don't wanna do this, but it seems I have to." I heard a loud bang and felt a sharp pain through my top left wing. I spiraled out of control crashing into a giant tree. The giant veins throughout my wing were spraying blood through the hole. I opened my eyes and saw Skies walking toward me. "What was that for?"

"I was gonna ask you the same thing Skies." I struggled to sit up but my wing hurt too much.

"You're still in my custody, and you ran away I had to stop you somehow, and judging by how fast your other injuries healed you'll be flyin' high in no time." He held out his hand and shouldered me. "You're pretty fast, once your wing is healed up why don't you have a race with my niece Rainbow Dash, She's the fastest flyer to come outta Cloudsdale. You'll give her a run for her money."

"Why not, I already have enough friends what harm could one more do?" I said sarcasticly. This was my first long look at Detective Skies. His dark blue coat felt like silk and glistened in the moonlight. I look up at the moon and find the stars were almost touching it. Skies wouldn't know but Twilight might. "Where is Twilight Sparkle?" I asked yearning for an answer I could use.

"Well she should be in Ponyville now, don't worry about it we're almost there. It's a small town it'll be easy as long as we don't run into her." Skies shuddered at the thought of her. "Pinkie Pie Party Queen she knows everypony in Ponyville and if she so much as sees somepony she doesn't know, Parties instant Parties." He laughed. "If you meet her you'll meet everypony else in five seconds."

"That's a bit exagerated isn't it?"

"No it's one-hundred percent true."

"Well is there any way to avoid her?" I joked.

"No there isn't." A shrill voice sounded behind us. Startled I fell off Skies' shoulder. A pink pony whose darker pink mane resembled cotton candy was staring into my eyes. "Are you okay, why do you look so weird, what's your name, why are you here, hey Starry Skies, I know what to do there's a party at twilight's house wanna come?" Each question was fired in rapid succession without a single breath.

"Yes, what do you mean weird, Cressendo my friends call me Cress, I'm meeting with the Princess, Your name is Starry Skies, and why not I'm sure Twilight would like to see me." I answered in the same way I was asked. "How did I do that?"

"I dunno not sure how I do it either, you know Twilight, she needs an old friend she seems distant." Her sunny disposition changed to overcast mid-sentance.

"Lead the way Pinkie." Skies and Pinkie picked me up and walked me toward another tree. "So she's staying at the old library, that figures. How's your wing Cress?"

"All better I guess." I unfurl it and it began to vibrate. "You can let me go now."

"It's so pretty looks like a dragonflies' wing." Pinkie complemented and I felt happy that my first encounter in this place was a success. "Well we're here feel free to mingle and don't drink my hot sauce, Twilight did that and she hasn't come down since."

"She drank hot sauce, why is it even at a party?" I asked chuckling.

"I put it on cupcakes." She pushed the door open and led me inside.

"You too?" I laughed.

Everypony looked at me with mixed emotions but shrugged them off rather quickly and began to speak with me as if we'd been friends forever. I kept my wings tucked away and refrained from divulging any of my past. There were four ponies that stood together laughing. I walked over to them and asked their names. "Mah name's Applejack pleasure ta meet y'all" An orange coloured pony with a blonde mane said shaking my hand.

"Rarity darling, and I must compliment your outfit wherever did you find such remarkable stitching?" A pale blue almost white unicorn with a purple mane asked

"I made it yesterday I thought I should dress up for when I meet with the Princess tomorrow."

"C'est Magnifique." She replied. For some strange reason I knew what she ment and smiled.

"Name's Rainbow Dash, fastest flier in all of Equestria." Her light blue coat glistened and she wore herr mane in a rainbow mullet.

"My my what an ego Rainbow." Skies poured himself a drink. "Looks like the Wonderbolts still haven't called."

"Uncle Skies!" She darted at him and gave a big hug. "It's been awhile."

"And your name?" The pale yellow pony seemed terrified and hid under a table. "You're shy aren't you, I know have this." I reached into my coat and pulled out Steele and showed it to her. "This is my friend Steele he's shy like you." Steele opened his eyes and jumped onto the floor. She seemed suprised and curious. "He's yours if you tell me your name."

"I'm Fluttershy, can I really keep him? She said in a barely audible tone.

"If you take good care of him, now come out and play with him." She crawled out from under the table and dusted herself off. Steele flew up to greet her and her face lit up behind her long pink mane.

"That was nice of you giving your pet to Fluttershy." Rarity smiled. "I can tell we're going to be the best of friends." She walked over and gave me a hug, her soft breasts pushed against my chest.

"I'm gonna have'ta agree, I can tell your somethin' special." Applejack patted my shoulder.

"And I can't wait ta race you tomorrow." Rainbow held up her hand for a high five. We began a complicated secret handshake and quickly finished. "How'd you know the Cloudsdale Flight School Handshake?" Rainbow was puzzled.

"I don't know the same thing happened with Pinkie earlier. Not to mention I completely understood Rarity's french without hearing one word before today. Well now, I think I need some fresh air so I'll be outside if you need me." I slowly manuevered through the party ponies and walked out the door. I saw Fluttershy and Steele flying around, behind them I saw something strange the four stars went behind the moon and the silhouette dissappeared. All the ponies began leaving for what I thought was the Celebration so I followed.
