Changing White
013 Foals Play
Previous ChapterNext ChapterIt's been three weeks after the egg laying event, by the doctors orders I have been speaking with an therapist once or twice a week not much has happened there, only speaking about the experience of egg laying and some past event, some form my time in the hive.
Many other things have changed like I moved into the house with Candy Warp and Night Wind. They're nice ponies but I do feel overwhelmed by Candy from time to time she to much like Pinkie Pie well without the weirdness of world bending stuff. Night Wind is schooling my with social ques and how ponies act in friends/romance things, it's harder when you can read the ponies emotions and try not to act on them.
Three times a week I join BB and Tia for lessons and spending time together witch is fun, Tia is still foaling with me and make me sit between her fore legs or on her back as we walk around. I can't say I blame her she's just worried and as we don't see each other as often now when I live with CW and NW. I have tried to talk to her about her emotions instability but all I get is "I'm fine." or something like that, but I'm still worried about her. Is she afraid of me, afraid of what I have come in contact with (her sister), am I the one that trigger her emotional stat? I will have to see and help when I can. She also add more guards to look after me, mostly from the shadows to not draw attention to me.
Finally I learned to change my coat color, I could only do white before. So to make me blend in more I changed my pony-form to be a bit more light pink in color to match Candy Warp (make me look like her daughter), the rest is the same. I was told to wear it when I'm out and about so less things can happen to me.
Lucky for me I didn't miss Mr. Soft Silk before he traveled home, so I could speak with him about some new ideas on clothing and fabric. I gave him the little know how I can on the fabrics not that I was into that in my former life, but I know somethings, He said he will look into it with his wife. I also gave him contact info for one of the agents of the crown to help him with the odd happenings in his workshop.
But today is my free day it's Saturday I don't have anything planed so I'm going to look around Canterlot. It's always been a dream off mine to explore it, so loaded with water, a couple sandwiches and a bag of candy from CW in a saddlebag I take my Opal Flare form and leave the house with a call "Be back before sundown." from Candy Warp, I give a "Okay, see later." reply with a smile on my face.
My self tour start at Canterlot Castle and move through the noble streets into the main street, I see so many thing stores, creatures, parks after many hours of exploring I end up at one of the bigger parks with a play ground, foals are running around playing. It brings a smile on my face. Sitting down on one of the benches over looking the park I start eating one of my sandwiches (with hard boiled egg mayo and salad and a bit of chili spice), I sit there quietly eating watching foals play a form of "green light, red light"
As I finish I feel a need to do something an scratch that's need scratching maybe it's the emotions of all the foals playing. So I light up my horn and start playing the tunes from "Italobrothers - Stamp On The Ground" with a spell I learned from Pin Scroll and a few taps of my hoof I start dancing on the cobblestone, jumping with jump in the song.
Italobrothers - Stamp On The Ground
"Stamp on the ground
Jump, jump, jump, jump
Moving all around
Tep tep da dow 'I tip toe on my hooves'
Stamp on the ground
Jump, jump, jump, jump
Moving all around
Jumping all around
Jumping all around
Drop the beat
Jumping all around
We're sending out an invitation
To everyone in every nation
But don't sleep get on the run
Stop thinkin' and have some fun"
I only get so far as my left ear flicked backwards, hearing multiple sets hooves behind me, I turn off the spell and turn too see a dozen foals have been following me and a griffin chick. I hear murmurs come from some of them, and asking me to play more of the music.
"Can I help you all?" I uncertainly ask the group. A light blue pegasus filly with purple and yellow mane/tail takes a set forward, her light green eyes lock on to my red. She stands strait like she's looking down on me. "Play the music again." She demands spreading her wings to look more intimidating.
I just stare dumbfounded at her."Did she just ordered me. What is she thinking, wait she might not think at all she's a foal." "Well I would if you ask nicely, my names Opal Flare. What's your name?" I stand tall to show I'm not afraid of her and her tactics.
She gives me a look of uncertainly folding back her wings, 'She go through emotions from certain to uncertain and ends on fear.' She glare at me. "She not showing her fear, she's strong." "I don't care about your name, I haven't seen you around in school or in the city. You must be new and I will take you under my wing." She says with fake confident.
I sigh and shake my head then return her glare. "I will have to decline, the reason you haven't seen me in school is because I have privet teachers." I say with smirk, "Why I'm I reacting like this, is it because I interact with foals?"
Her eyes becomes pinpricks like she have meet somepony she knows she can't intimidate, her ears fold back on her head she take a step back. 'Her fear strong in the air.' Shaking my head I give her a friendly smile. "Are you okay? I only wanted to point out, if ask nicely you can get more in your life. So what's you're name." I speak in a soft tone.
"My names Blue Sky." the filly told me, still uncertain how to react to this new threat. I pull out my bag of candy still having my friendly smile on, asking. "Want some?" She nods accepting the bag and pulls out a piece and eats it. "She's calming down good." 'A emotions of anticipation comes from the other filly's and chick.' I nod "Yes, you all can have some remember to share, okay." They all start to devour the candy like starved wolfs.
Emotions running high in all of them. "So you wanted me to play some music?" I ask, all of them nods. "If you're okay with it I have a better idea." I jump up on a close by bench. With a voice of a skilled dungeon master I begin the tale of one of my time gaming with my friends, Making the spell I learn to make noise of sword clashing, spells being cast.
"This is a tale from long ago in far away land called Urth there an evil shadow had risen take over the lands, an old unicorn king have summoned four heroes to save this land. First we have the giant earth pony from the frozen north, he was almost the size of Princess Celestia "Rodric the red" he was not the smartest of the heroes but he's was the strongest."
"Second we have the griffin "Giselle" the master scout her eyes the sharpest there were, with her trusted crossbow she have made many foes fall, known for her stealth and scouting ability."
"The third was unicorn with the name "Arcane Star" a recluse mage from the tower of Nime, so strong in her magic as she was a loner, none could best her in spell casting."
"Then there's the last hero not much was known about her not even her name, she wore a cloak with a hood and a mask out of bronze, she had the talent of many skills, but master of none. The nameless jack of all trades."
So I start the tale of the four heroes as they fight against the pony of shadows.
Hours later.
".....and so the heroes stopped the pony of shadows, made some friends on the way, lost some life and saved many more. What happened too the four heroes only time will tell, but one thing was sure this was not their last adventure."
I bow with a smile as I end the tale. I hear the sound of hooves stomping in approval even some cheers. I look up and see many more foals have joined the group even some adults. I give a sheepish smile and bow again. "Thank you for listening to the story I told."
As is stand up strait I look over the ponies there, their happy faces smiling at me. My smile becomes wider until I see the sun, it's already setting. "Oh buck, sorry everypony I need to get home or my parents will get angry." I jump of the bench and start running home. Some of the foals try to follow to ask me questions, I quickly leave them behind.
As I see my home coming closer the light from the sun getting darker, night is coming closer. Worry fills my heart. "Late I'm getting late. Buck, buck, buck." The door to my home open and I see Night Wind standing in the doorway looking at me a small frown on her face. She move to the side not to be hit by the rocket that's me, with a jump I throw myself through the doorway sliding to a halt few meter in. Panting I word out. "Sa, safe."
"Nope." the voice of Night Wind answers. "You where about two minutes late." she continue as she lifts me up on her back. "Ahh, give me a break." I speak out and cross my fore legs and gives the most adorable pout.
Few days later Celestia is walking through her school for gifted unicorns, when she hears some foals playing a game.
"I'm playing as Arcane Star master spell caster." one of the foals say. "I will be Rodric the Red, the big brute with a kind heart." another says. "I'm the nameless hero whom can change my form and do all sort of thing." a third say
"Aaah, no fare I don't want to be a griffin, let's trade." the fourth say.
Celestia curious about what this foals are playing she walks over to them. "Hello my little ponies, what are you playing."
They all bow and rise quickly. "Princess, princess we're play the four heroes form Urth where they fight against the pony of shadows to save the lands of Urth." they all explain in happy voices.
"Oh, that's interesting my ponies where did you find that storybook?" Celestia ask. "It's not a story a unicorn at the park told us, she made sound with her magic as she told the tale." One of the foals explain. "Do you know the name of this unicorn?" Celestia ask with a raised eyes brow.
"I think her name was Flame Opal." One says. "No, no Opal Flare." another corrects. "Oh yeah you're right, it's Opal Flare princess."
Celestia smiles. "So it was Opal Flare, my little ponies. Seems I need to ask her about this." she says with a giggle.
"You know Opal?" one of the foals ask with wonder in her eyes. "Yes, my little pony. She takes lessons at castle time to time."
"Can we meet her again? we didn't get a chance to know where she lives or ask her to be our friend." they all ask smiles on their faces.
"Yes you can my little ponies, but not today she's busy, but I will ask next time she comes to the castle." Celestia respond with a motherly tone and playful smile.
Somewhere in the Crystal caves under Canterlot a white changeling princess that's working on her hive gets a chill of horror that run through her body. Shaking her body she thinks. "What was that chill, is somepony plotting something against me."
Author's Note
This chapter is a bit of normalcy for Tec life, BB is Blue Blood.
Tec changed the races to fit more into Equestria.
This was Tec's Opal Flare form before the change:
White coated unicorn mare with red mane and tail with streaks of orange in it with red eyes, the cutie mark is an opal with fire behind it and I name her Opal Flare. But now the coat is light Pink.
