the legend of clouds dale - fimfic 1 - Troubles brewing

"Oh hey Twilight!" said Rainbow Dash in her average day voice.

"Come on in Twilight!" Zecora gestured Twilight to step in and take a seat.

"Rainbow Dash, what is so important?" Twilight said hastily; she though she'd travelled all this way

for nothing, but then it came like a bullet; the shock hit her.

"Well, Cloudsdale isn't in trouble exactly, they're going to cause trouble.  I overheard it when i went for

the young fliers competition; 2 of the royal pegasus guards discussed "Operation Pegasus", and it sounded bad!"

Rainbow Dash sounded serious?

Twilight though to herself.  What could Operation Pegasus be?

"Well go on Rainbow Dash, tell us what Operation Pegasus is!" Hastily spoken from Twilight's mouth.

"Well, I don't have exact details but.."

"Just tell us Rainbow Dash!" Twilight interrupted.

"Well, it's something about attacking Ponyville and other places in Equestria; they said something about

Ponyville first, the Crystal Empire second, and whoever opposes next, but remember HARM NO PEGASUS." Rainbow Dash explained

this to Twilight slowly so she could think about it.

"So what else do we have, any solid evidence?"

"No," Rainbow Dash replied with a down hearted voice.  "Actually, wait, we do!" her face filled with joy.

"Spill it Rainbow Dash, we need to know this, it's very important!"

"They have a board with 3 rules on it!"

"What are the 3 rules?"

"I don't know Twilight, but I can fly up to Cloudsdale and find out!"

"Do whatever it takes Rainbow Dash; Zecora will inform me of the rest as you go!"

Rainbow Dash flew out the building with lightning speed, causing all sorts of chaos in Zecora's house as a

few mugs and teapots hit the ground.

"Zecora, what else is there to this story?"

"I'm not quite sure Twilight, it appears the pegasi want to rule over Equestria."

No more was said; both bowed their heads and said good bye.  Twilight ran home to document this

possible attack from Cloudsdale. A shiver ran down her spine, and she turned around to see a pegasus guard.

"Oh hello sir, can I help you?"

"Yes, you can, I've heard a lot about your doings..."

"What could he be talking about?  Surely he doesn't know what I'm writing!" She quickly thought out a possibility

that he was going to take her away and enslave her.

"Oh.. uh.. have you?"

"Yes, I've heard you're the person to go to for books?"

Thank goodness, she thought, and relaxed.

"Yes, I am; I have a whole library here, what are you looking for?"

"I'm not sure, any books you can recommend?" He tilted his head, looking at Twilight's writing.  "What are you writing?"

"Oh, just a story about Cloudsdale!" Oh no, she thought, have i given it away?

"Oh cool, what's it about?"  He looked questioningly at the writing.

"The young fliers competition." It was the first thing that came to her mind.

"May I read it?"

"NO NONOONONO, sorry, but it's private until I release it!" Twilight started to worry, she had to think this through.

Would this work?

"Oh, ok, well I'll come back later; I can see you're busy!"

"Thanks!" Twilight hastily replied.

The guard left Twilight's house as if nothing had just gone down.  Had he not noticed Twilight's nervousness?
