the rainbow and the rogue

A mysterious figure draped in a dark cloak sat on a cloud above ponyville "this place seems so boring, something needs to happen soon or I'm going to snap" the figure raised its head slowly and stares at a peculiar house shaped cloud in the distance."If she lives here it can't be all that boring." The figure stands up and reveals a pair of long dark wings "this is going to be awsome" the mysterious figure said, before dropping off the side of the cloud with the wings tucked in. At the last minute before hitting the ground the figure snapped open its wings and glided inches from the ground, flying straight at the house shaped cloud.

Rainbow dash was relaxing in her cloud home, she had just woken up and finished her daily training routine. She had the day off today and was considering visiting twilight, until she heard a knock at her door. "Geez, how can you make that much noise with a cloud" she thought. As she was walking to the door she thought she heard voices "keep your saddle on, I'm coming" she mumbled. When she opened the door she was shocked to see 5 of her friends (and silver) standing in front of her, she nearly yelled in panic, until she rememberd the spell twilight learned for ponies without wing to walk on clouds.

"What are you guys doing here?" She asked "is there an emergency? Is chrysalis back? What's going on?!" Applejack nearly laughed at her friends ridiclous attitude "calm down, ain't no problem goin on, just thought we could pay you a little visit is all sugarcube" pinkie jumped out of nowhere and started to do cartwheels and roll around. "I love walking on clouds, they are so fluffy and fun!" She smiled "I also like to jump, run, roll, bounce and slide on clouds, they are just so much fun, I wish my house was made out of clouds!"

"I'm glad you like my house pinkie, but why go through all the trouble of casting that spell on everypony twilight, would have been a lot quicker and easier to hang out on the ground." Twilight grinned sheepishly "sorry rainbow, I forgot to ask your permission, but this is silver's first time on a cloud and I thought visiting you would give us the perfect time to try it." At the mention of his name silver looked up at them "are you sure these clouds are stable? If I was meant to walk on clouds I would have been born as a pegasus." He said flatly. "Now that we got the pleasentries over with, let's have some fun" rarity said.

After a few hours of board games and a few narrowly avoided fights, everyone was ready to go home for the day. "Well, I had fun gay hair, I managed not to die in this deathtrap you call a house and kick your flank at ponopoly all in one night" silver said. Before rainbow could kick his flank a large object crased through her kitchen window. "What the hay?!" Before anyone could react a cloacked figure flew in front of rainbow "your rainbow dash right?" Silver gasped "t-that voice, it can't be! Get away fom him!" Ignoring silver, rainbow replied "duh, didn't you see the mane? Why did you just crash through my window jerk, if your a fan you could have just asked for an autograph." Before anyone could move the figure pounced on rainbow and flew out the window with her. The figure carried rainbow to a small cloud a few feet away from her house. "You. Me. Race. Now. Prove to me that your the fastest flyer in all of equestria!"

A normal pony would have panicked or would have been too scared to move, but rainbow wasnt a normal pony. "A race? That's all you wanted? Sure, this is going to be easy!" At the sound of a challenge all other thoughts melted away, she was born to race. "Show me the course and I'll kick your flank around it all day long!" The mysterious figure pulled back his hood to reveal an eagle like head and a devilish smile "I like you, this is going to be fun!" Rainbow gasped "your a griffin?" Before he could respond he was hit by a large beam of energy "I don't know what your doing here sole, but your not going to hurt anypony while I'm here!" Silver growled.

The griffin flew back up and landed on a cloud near dashes, seemingly unharmed. He threw his tatterd cloak away, revealing ash coored feathers on his body, idenical to his wings. "So that's my name huh? Pretty cool. Sorry blondie, I don't know what your talking about. I'm just here to race." Silver was taken aback by this "what? You don't remember me?!" Rainbow was confused by all of this "what in the hay is going on!?" She yelled. Silver glared "I'll explain later, just get away from him. He is dangerous." Sole rolled his eyes "come on, lighten up blondie. All I want is a race, I'll deal with your crap later." He turned to rainbow "so how about it beautiful, wanna race?" Rainbow's head turned almost as red her mane "b-beautiful?"

Before sole could respond silver surrounded sole in a magic sphere of energy "your not going anywhere. I'm going to ask you questions, and your going to answer them, got it?"Sole noncholantly looked at the bubble around him "whatever, but after we are done playing 20 questions, I get my race, got it?" Silver was confused, he was definitly sole, but why was he so peacful? After thinking for a minute he nodded. "I hope I'm doing the right thing." He thought. "We can talk inside."

Rainbow walked into her living room where all of her friends were sitting. As soon as she walked in she was hit with a barrage of questions, where did she go? What happened? Who was that? Before she could answer any of them, silver stepped up beside her. "It was all a misunderstanding, that nutcase is an old friend of mine." Before anyone could question further a large figure floated into the room, it was a bubble of magical energy, but the occupant is what drew everyones attention. "Sup?" Sole said noncholantly. Silver sighed "silence prisoner, don't speak unless spoken to." The prisoner was obviously a griffin. He had white feathers on his head, but the rest of his feathers were almost all a dark grey, almost black.

Apple jack raised an eyebrow, "who the hay is this? Is he the one who foalnapped rainbow?" Sole looked at her and grinned "close, but no cigar. She was completely willing to come with me." Everyone was shocked to see rainbow nodding in agreement "the goofball just wanted to race. I don't blame him, who wouldn't want to race the fastest flyer in equestria." Sole smiled "if your wings can move as fast as your mouth does, then you should have no trouble keeping up." Rainbow glared at him "oh, you are so going down!" Before they could argue further, silver cleard his throat. "I hate to interrupt the lovers quarrel, but I need to speak to romeo here alone."

Hearing this rainbow's head turned a purple color and sole smiled suggestively. "He wishes! Not even if he was the last pony in equestria!" Rainbow said "its a good thing I'm not a pony then, isn't it." Sole said, still smiling. Before either one could continue silver used his magic to force the mane 6 out of the room and shut the door, ignoring the whines and complaints. "If anypony but me opens this door, I'll feed you to sole." He was satisfied to hear almost all noise on the other side of the door stop. He turned to sole with a glare "now, you won't leave this room until I get answers." He said, with a hint of annoyance.

Silver sighed, exasperated. "You really did lose your memory, didn't you?" Sole rolled his eyes "of course, I've told you a million times blondie." Sole said, dripping sarcasm. Silver was getting frustrated, he had only been interrogating sole for about half an hour, and he already hit a brick wall. After a few seconds of thought he ended the spell surrounding sole and sighed "we're done here, your free to go. Just don't make me regret this." With that sole grinned as they both exited the room. As soon as they walked through they were instantly surrounded by dozens of canterlot royal gaurds with their weapons pointed a them. The mane six were all being blocked by the gaurds to make sure they didn't interfere.

"What's the meaning of this? All of you stand down!" Silver growled angrily "stand your ground!" An angry voice boomed. The gaurds parted slightly to reveal a very angry luna. "This monstrosity is under arrest for war crimes, he is comig with us." She glared "celestia has sent me personally to detain him if he resists, not even you can stop us." Silver quickly used his magic to create a gap in the gaurds that led to the open front door. Before anyone can react sole moves in a blur to the door and divs off the side of the porch. All of the gaurds scramble after him, quickly following him. Luna turns to silver angrily "do you know what you have just done!?" She shouted angrily "I saved an innocent life." He shot back, with a perfect poker face. "You and I both know that isn't true." She whisperd before folowing the gaurds.

When all of the gaurds were gone, twilight looked behind her and nearly had screamed. Sole was standing behing her, slightly panting. As everyone else noticed his presence they all let out a collective gasp. "Where the hay did you come from!?" She shouted "I saw you bolt with those gaurds chasing you. How are you here?" Sole smiled happily "afterimage, I moved so fast it looked like I left, but I just flew out and back in before anypony noticed." Rainbow was amazed " you have got to teach me that!" She shouted happily. "Not right now, I'm going to canterlot to talk to the princesses. Until I get back sole is staying here." Everyone was shocked except for sole, he just shrugged. "As long as i get to race the hottie." He said. Rainbows head nearly turned as purple as twilights. "But why make him stay at the scene of the crime?" Twilight asked. Silver shrugged "its the last place they would expect to find him" he said as he walked out the door, on his way to canterlot.
