Chapter 3: Summons

"Are you just gonna stand there all day? Come here!" Vinyl Scratch said enthusiastically.

Aurora took a moment to process the command and happily walked forward into the white mares embrace. The two ponies squeezed each other tight and enjoyed the others grip for a good while before separating. Aurora couldn't take her eyes off of the new arrivals, still unbelieving of their presence.

"I don't understand; what are you both doing here?" Aurora said, looking in between Vinyl and Reggie with elated confusion.

"Well, I was dragged out of my comfortable bed and forced onto a train to get here." Reggie said, shooting a less than serious glance towards Vinyl. "But once I heard we were coming to see you, I was a little less grumpy."

"Only until he realized that there wasn't a meal car." Vinyl added, sarcastically rolling her eyes.

"Yes, that was rather…disappointing." Reggie said, stalling on his last word. Aurora smiled, knowing full well the khaki stallion was stifling more complaints for her sake.

"Anyways, a mutual hyperactive friend of ours said you were in town and had taken care of your little problem." Vinyl nodded to Pinkie, who was still bouncing at Aurora's side. "How could we not come and see you after hearing that?"

"I don't know." Aurora said hesitantly, the memories of her confrontation still fresh in her mind. "Considering how I took my leave…"

"Look, that was over a year ago. You had to leave, and that's what you did." Vinyl said understandingly, shifting to a more serious tone. "I just wish you could have said goodbye to everyone. Not just me…"

"I see…" Aurora said, biting her lip. "How did she take the news of my departure?"

"Yikes, uhhh…" Vinyl voiced uncomfortably. "You know that five stages of grief bologna you hear about?"

"…Yes?"

"Well, let's just say she skipped straight to anger and stuck right there. It's not a raging fire anymore, but…she's still simmering…" Vinyl said with a frown.

"Is that why she didn't come?" Aurora asked distantly.

"Nope! I only told Vinyl to come by. I figured she'd bring whoever she thought would be willing to make the trip." Pinkie added, wearing a slightly compulsory smile.

"Before you ask, I didn't tell her anything." Vinyl said, satiating Aurora's curiosity. "I didn't want to reopen any wounds before talking to you myself."

"That was probably for the best." Aurora said, forcing a small smile. "I don't even know what I'd tell her."

"Tell what to whom?"

Everypony looked towards the main road of the town, searching for the voice that had just called out. Pinkie happily bounced towards the source, identifying none other than Rarity, who was strolling towards the group at a brisk pace. Aurora's demeanor improved slightly as Rarity approached, lightening the mood ever so slightly.

"I'm so sorry to interrupt, but my curiosity rival's that of my dearly beloved Opalescence." Rarity said humorously. She looked over at the two new arrivals and her eyes lit up. "I don't think we've had the pleasure. My name is Rarity. May I ask whom I am addressing?"

"The name's Vinyl Scratch. It's nice to meet you Rarity." Vinyl answered cheerfully, offering a polite introduction.

"You look very familiar, and if I didn't know any better, I'd have sworn that name has come up in conversation before."

"You might know me through my stage-name. I go by DJ Pon-3 when I work." Vinyl replied.

"Oh my, you were the mare who orchestrated the music at the royal wedding of Princess Cadence and Shining Armor weren't you?" Rarity asked, recognition flashing across her deep blue eyes.

"Yup, that was me!" Vinyl said proudly, reaching her hoof over Pinkie Pie's shoulders and resting it there. "This hip little party pony got me the gig."

"I couldn't think of anypony better suited for the job!" Pinkie Pie beamed back at the white unicorn.

"Well you did an excellent job if I don't say so myself." Rarity said, turning her attention towards the khaki unicorn standing in front of her. "And who might you be?"

Reggie stepped forward slowly in an attempt to look suave, and addressed the mare before him politely. "I, miss, am Reggie. I have to tell you, it is an absolute pleasure to make your acquaintance."

"He's a sad alcoholic and he cries at the end of 'The Little Pony Who Could', every single time." Vinyl said, grinning madly at Rarity, and beaming with pride as the khaki unicorn let out a defeated sigh.

"Well, there goes that." Reggie said, once again turning his attention to Rarity. "I was attempting to make a good impression on a beautiful young mare, but the thorn in my side hates it when other pony's think well of me."

"You can't prove that." Vinyl said mockingly. "Mainly because nobody thinks well of you in the first place."

"I think that's because everyone knows I associate with you of my own free will. Anyone that does that clearly has some unresolved mental issues." Reggie said, pouring on the sarcasm.

"You two must have been raised in big cities outside this area. You've both dropped the 'pony' suffix." Rarity observed, probing further into the pair's origins. "I'm guessing somewhere around the eastern regions."

"Manehattan. Both of us were born and raised there. Luckily I didn't meet Vinyl until I had at least a few years of peace." Reggie said with a wide smile.

"Reggie of Manehattan…" Rarity said to herself ponderingly. "I'll be sure to remember that. How do you both know Aurora?"

"I wouldn't be surprised to hear she didn't tell you about her trip to Manehattan." Vinyl said, smiling mischievously.

"That's right, I didn't." Aurora said flatly. "Nopony other than those involved knows the details of that nightmare."

"It wasn't all bad. I'd never had so much fun before you showed up!" Reggie said appreciatively.

"Yea, those were good times…" Vinyl said supportively.

"You're the only ponies who would think any of it was fun." Aurora replied irritably.

"I thought it was fun too!" Pinkie said, popping up in between Reggie and Vinyl suddenly.

"Well then it's good to know I was right. You're all insane." Aurora said, trying to hide the smile that had formed on her face.

"You love us." Vinyl said with a grin.

"Don't try to deny it." Reggie added.

"I liked the explosion!" Pinkie shared enthusiastically.

"Which one?" Reggie arched his eyebrow curiously at the pink pony.

"The big one or the funny one?" Vinyl asked.

"I thought they were both funny." Pinkie giggled as they all reminisced.

"Aurora, what in Equestria are they referring to?" Rarity asked, her eyes wide with shock.

"Just ignore them. They feed off of attention." Aurora remarked sardonically.

"Attention sounds spicy." Pinkie said thoughtfully. "I love spicy food!"

"I see your point." Rarity said, looking at Aurora knowingly.

The group settled down a bit and made their way away from the train station, continuing to exchange words along their way. They had just about made it back to Sugarcube Corner when Vinyl Scratch changed the subject.

"So Pinkie, where are we staying?" The white mare asked curiously. "Could you point us in the direction of a motel or something?"

"I checked you guys in at the Ponyville Inn this morning." Pinkie said. "You're in room twelve!"

"Really? Uh, thanks Pinkie, I guess." Vinyl was visibly deterred. "How much do we owe you?"

"Nothing you silly filly! The owner owed me for an overdue bakery order, so I just called it even!" Pinkie said, enthusiastically bobbing her head up and down.

"Must have been some cupcakes."

"He ordered a lot…" Pinkie said questioningly, shifting her gaze into empty space. "He gets lonely at night."

"So do you have the key, or"—

"Check your pocket, Reggie!" Pinkie replied happily.

"M-My…pocket?" Reggie asked in confusion.

Pinkie Pie leaned forward and stuck her hoof inside Reggie, digging through a mysteriously formed flap in his coat. She pulled out a set of keys branded with the number 'twelve' and tossed them to Vinyl, who unwillingly caught them. Reggie hurriedly brushed his hooves over the spot Pinkie had just removed the keys from and found no openings, intrusions, or remains of the mysterious pouch.

"I…I feel…unclean." Reggie said with wide eyes, clearly disturbed at the incident.

"You can shower at the motel, Reggie." Vinyl said with genuine concern for the violated unicorn. "Thanks Pinkie. I guess we'll go get set up in the room now."

"Okie Dokie Lokie! Just be sure find one of us once you're done so we can show you around town!" Pinkie Pie said, gesturing towards Aurora and herself.

"Sounds good. See ya soon!" With that, the two unicorns made their way towards the Ponyville Inn, leaving Aurora with Pinkie and Rarity.

"I can't believe that they're here." Aurora was awestruck. She turned to Pinkie with a look of concern. "I didn't even think to ask about them. I hope you didn't go out of your way to get them here."

"I just sent a letter through a friend telling Vinyl you were here. She made the choice to come down, so it was no trouble!" Pinkie said with a dismissive smile. "Besides, I figured you could use a little cheering up."

"Cheering up?" Aurora asked tersely. "I never asked for anything of the sort."

"Friends don't wait to be asked, Rory. They just bounce into action." Pinkie Pie said, jumping up to emphasize her point.

"While I do agree with that Pinkie, dear, what sort of help do you believe Aurora is in need of?" Rarity interjected, not following the conversation.

"None. I'm fine, actually." Aurora said with a hint of disdain for the bright pink pony.

"No you're not!" Pinkie yelled, the smile she wore disappearing into an uncharacteristic frown. "You're depressed and you haven't been yourself. You were like this when I first saw you come into Ponyville with Fluttershy and Twilight!"

"You have no idea what the hell you're talking about, Pinkie." Aurora said harshly.

"See, right there! You'd never talk to me like that, Rory!" Pinkie said, sounding slightly hurt.

"Ladies, Please! Settle down and let us handle this like adults." Rarity said stepping in between the two pink ponies. "Pinkie dear, why don't you go back to work and calm down for a spell. I'll speak to Aurora myself and see if I can't assist her with her…problem."

"…fine." Pinkie said hesitantly, looking over to Aurora. "Just make sure you don't let her change the subject."

Pinkie began stepping backwards towards the front door of Sugarcube Corner, her stunningly bright teal eyes fixated on the pink pony before her. Her eyes were narrowed suspiciously, and her countenance was fixed in a 'no nonsense' position that looked ominous. Frankly, it made Rarity very nervous. Pinkie Pie made one final gesture with her hoof, pointing first at her own eyes, and then towards Aurora before heading inside.

The elegant white mare turned away from the disturbing, and rather threatening sight of the bright pink pony, and looked upon Aurora. The mare looked rather flustered, still wearing her anger on her brow. This was disconcerting, which was what Rarity used as a starting point.

"I must say, you're much prettier when you aren't scowling like that. Would a smile be out of the question?"

Aurora didn't smile, but her features noticeably softened. She let out a deep sigh and looked at the ground for a moment before turning her gaze on the unicorn.

"Not to be rude, but what do you want from me?" Aurora asked. "I don't have anything to say."

"Who's asking you say a word? Certainly not moi." Rarity said, practically scoffing at the idea. "I just want to walk with a good friend and see how she's been doing at another dear friend's home. How is Sweet Apple Acres treating you?"

"They've been nothing but gracious and kind." Aurora answered honestly, unwinding slightly. "I haven't met anypony as kind as that family in quite a while. In fact, you're all unwaveringly magnificent. It makes a pony wonder…"

"Oh? About what?" Rarity asked with surplus curiosity.

"Well… It's just that I've been to many different places." Aurora started hesitantly. "I've never run into a town as wholesome and innocent as this one."

"Ponyville is very rustic. We're rather separated from the hustle and bustle of the metropolis." Rarity mused in agreement. "The city life doesn't appeal to you I suppose?"

"No, not at all. Thundervolt's always been better with dealing with other ponies. He changes his face around strangers easily. I prefer solitude. Or at the very least ponies that aren't awful."

"You haven't had very good experiences with strangers, I understand." Rarity said uncomfortably, remembering the pink pony's situation.

"Nova was a psychopath yes, but that's not what I'm referring to. I'm talking more about the ponies wandering the streets in broad daylight." Aurora replied darkly. "He may have been a monster, but he was right about one thing; Ponies can be very evil creatures."

"Whatever do you mean?" Rarity asked with confusion.

"I don't blame you for not understanding. You haven't seen the things we have. A lot of stuff happens behind closed doors that you wouldn't believe." Aurora said reflectively. "That's why I don't understand how he does it."

"How who does what?" Rarity asked, losing track of Aurora's train of thought.

"Thundervolt has been everywhere I have, lived it all right beside me. After all of the horror and the heartbreak, he still manages to see the best in everypony." Aurora focused her sad neon green eyes on Rarity's concerned expression. "That's just something I can't do as easily. There were a precious few exceptions to that rule before I met all of you."

"And I'm guessing two of those 'exceptions' just got off the train from Manehattan?" Rarity asked, putting the pieces together.

"Sans one, yes." Aurora said cryptically, turning away.

"Well then, that's the root of your problem." Rarity said resolutely.

"Wait, what are you"—

"It's now abundantly clear that being the cold protector you aim to be has cost you a close personal relationship with somepony down the line, and now that you're not in the line of fire you're unsure of what course of action to take." Rarity said confidently.

"But"—

"But you left them behind in a way that you regret and aren't sure of whether or not you should try to fix your mistake, if they'll even speak to you again."

"Rarity, I"—

"Well judging by how well received you were in the eyes of your other friends, I'm sure that with enough persuasion he or she could be brought around." Rarity said, finishing her discourse with an afterthought. "But that's just me spouting nonsense. This couldn't possibly apply to you, could it?"

Aurora just stared at the unicorn, speechless. Rarity's account resonated closely to the pink pony, and she was now unsure of how to proceed. She decided to put on her best acting shoes and wriggle her way out of the conversation.

"Not in the slightest. That situation sounds completely ludicrous and doesn't sound familiar at all." Aurora said, internally proud of herself for her performance.

"My apologies. I would have sworn on my life that I was correct." Rarity said sounding genuinely sorry. She glanced at Aurora coyly and continued. "I won't press any further. If I may add however, you were absolutely right."

"Right about what?"

"Thundervolt is a much better actor than you are." Rarity said, smiling humorously to herself.

Aurora's cheeks reddened as she realized Rarity had seen right through her ruse. The pink pony let out a defeated sigh and locked herself up, thinking of anything she could do to get out of the present situation. She mulled the notion over in her head for a moment before verbalizing.

"If you aren't busy, you should come with me to visit Twilight. I've been meaning to check in with her."

"Oh, that does sound like a lovely little detour." Rarity said happily. "I don't see why not. Shall we?"

"Sure." Aurora said, happy to be doing anything else.

The two ponies turned away from Sugarcube Corner and began the trot towards the Ponyville Library. Rarity stopped pressing for the time being, satisfied that she had planted the seeds of thought in the pink pony's head. She'd find a way to get her talk soon, but now was the time to leave it alone. Visiting Twilight would be a suitable distraction to make her forget until Rarity could reap what she had sowed.

"I do hope Twilight isn't in the middle of something important."


"I swear, if you two don't stop arguing, I'm going to have to ask you to leave!"

"But we're having an academic discussion about the merit of one of your books!"

"Discussion my flank! You're just bashing the greatest book series ever made!"

Twilight let out a deep sigh as she once again became a part of Rainbow Dash and Thundervolt's argument. The lavender unicorn had been listening to each side of the argument, not by choice, as Rainbow Dash was involuntarily loud. Bless her heart. Thundervolt was calm and collected, and continued to harass the cyan pegasus, the combination of which made the mare boil with rage.

All in all, the spectacle of their confrontation was growing stale, and Twilight just wanted some peace. Fluttershy couldn't get through to either of them, so she had long given up trying and moved to an empty corner of the library to read. She had the right idea. Spike had a similar place outside the argument; however he still hadn't given up on inserting his take.

"You guys may not be actual siblings, but you sure argue like you are." The baby dragon said.

"That's because they're both stubborn and thick-headed." Fluttershy said calmly. She looked up from her book for a moment to clarify. "Especially when it comes to each other's opinions."

Thundervolt's white face turned red at the comment, and he rubbed the back of his deep blue mane guiltily, mixing it with his yellow streaks. His golden eyes had lit up with silent acknowledgment. Rainbow Dash merely rolled her eyes with disdain, flipping her mane from her face as she shrugged off her friends comment.

"Look, all I'm saying is that the character is pretty arrogant and full of herself." Thundervolt said.

"You're just jealous that she's infinitely cooler than you!" Rainbow Dash responded defensively. "Daring Do's adventures are legendary!"

"Legendary to the few ponies that actually read about her. I just think they could've been written better."

"Those stories are flawless! You just can't understand literature of such quality." Rainbow Dash said, turning her nose up at the white pegasus. "Isn't that right, Twilight?"

"They have an adventurous charm to them." Twilight said, dodging the question. "Does it really matter though? You can have differing opinions without making it difficult to hear myself think…"

"She's right, Rainbow Dash. Sorry Twilight, we'll let you get back to…what is it that you're doing over there?" Thundervolt asked curiously.

"She's doing the same thing she's been doing since you guys got back." Spike spoke up, indifference evident in his voice. "She's been trying to figure out what that shot Aurora gave her did. In great detail."

"Well I can't just sit around and wait to see what happens now, can I?" Twilight said dismissively, her horn aglow as she wrote notes in a small book.

"To be honest, that's I did." Thundervolt spoke up. "Have you noticed any of the effects yet?"

"Other than inheriting your tingly feeling, nothing. How long did it take for them to show up in your case?" Twilight asked nervously.

"They didn't take long if I remember correctly. You were accelerated through the process though, so it could be delayed." Thundervolt said with concern. "If you start to see noises, that would be your cue to get home and wait to get used to the heightened perception."

"That's not very comforting, but alright… I guess I could put the notes down for a bit." Twilight reluctantly lowered her quill and rested in on the table she worked at.

She turned her lavender eyes on Rainbow Dash and smiled lovingly. The cyan mare flew from across the room to her side and nuzzled her neck affectionately before returning the smile.

"That's the spirit, Twilight! The more you think about it, the more you'll worry. Just relax!" Rainbow Dash said calmly.

The lavender mare attempted to come down from her anxious behavior before responding. "Well if I'm supposed to keep my focus elsewhere, maybe we should all go do something."

"If it means getting out of chores, I'm in!" Spike said enthusiastically as he descended the library's stairs.

*Knock Knock*

Everypony turned towards the library door at the sound of oak wood being pounded upon. Twilight took the initiative and moved to greet whoever was at the door. The lavender mare opened the library up and found two ponies on her front porch.

"Rarity, Aurora! How are you two?" Twilight asked excitedly, happy to see her friends.

"We're both doing well, Twilight. May we come in?" Rarity asked politely.

"Of course. We were just thinking of what to do, actually. You're more than welcome to join us once we make a decision." Twilight replied.

"Actually, I think Aurora here has something we could all do. Don't you?" Rarity turned towards the petite pink pony.

"Oh, well I suppose. Pinkie Pie contacted some…old friends of mine. They arrived in town today, and they should be settling in as we speak." Aurora said uncomfortably. "We could go meet them…maybe."

"Friends?" Thundervolt asked with audible concern. "What friends are we referring to?"

"I told you. Friends." Aurora replied flatly.

"In any case, I'm sure they'd both like to meet you all." Rarity said, her eyes moving in between the two ponies. "Would that be to everypony's liking?"

"That sounds like a wonderful idea, my dear sweet Rarity." Spike said, leaning far forward with an enraptured smile on his face.

"Ignoring lover boy over here, that sounds like fun. I wanna know who the barrel of sunshine made nice with." Rainbow Dash said jokingly, earning a cross look from Aurora.

"I hope th-that they're friendly." Fluttershy said nervously as she joined the gathering, leaving her book behind.

"Aurora, can I talk to you?" Thundervolt said sternly. "Alone?"

The pink pony nodded guiltily, and the two ponies turned to walk out of the room. Everypony else merely looked at them with concern. Thundervolt and Aurora were quickly out of sight, and out of earshot, leaving them to speak privately.

"Would you mind telling me what's going on?" Thundervolt asked impatiently.

"You remember the white unicorn I talked about? The one you spoke to momentarily?" Aurora asked calmly.

"She's in town? That explains why you look so tense." Thundervolt said chidingly. "It looks like your little adventure is finally catching up to you."

"You say that like she's going to kill somepony." Aurora said accusingly.

"It's not her I'm worried about, Aurora." Thundervolt's gaze hardened. "Ever since Manehattan, you've been hard to deal with and you won't tell me what happened. Maybe since the cast of mystery theater is gathered in town, now would be the time?"

"Everypony needs to stop asking and leave it alone." Aurora said tersely. "Applejack and Rarity have been taking turns trying to get me to talk, then Pinkie Pie invites Vinyl here without telling me, and now you're jumping on the bandwagon."

"Need I remind you that I'm the founder of that bandwagon?" Thundervolt replied. "I've been asking you about this consistently."

"It doesn't matter. It's nopony's business but my own."

"I disagree."

"Well that doesn't fucking matter now does it!?" Aurora yelled, her neon green eyes boring into the white pegasus.

Thundervolt stood his ground, but a look of surprise had made its way onto his face. Aurora's outburst had caught him totally off guard, and he wasn't quite sure how to respond. The pink pony's hardened stare quickly faded as she began to realize what she had just said.

"Thundervolt, I'm sorry." Aurora said, retreating into herself slightly.

"I'm pretty sure my feelings will make a full recovery. Instead of an apology, how about you help me understand what's going on?" Thundervolt pleaded, his golden eyes beseeching the pink pony.

Aurora looked guiltily towards Thundervolt, though it was the last thing she wanted to do. His eyes penetrated her like no pony else's ever did. Maybe it was the fact that they'd known each other for years, or maybe it was the mutual pain they shared. Either way, the petite pink pony was trapped where she stood. She let out a deep sigh.

"You know, the funny thing about it is that it's such a trivial issue." Aurora said, chuckling sadly to herself. "We've been through some deep crap together Thundervolt, but for some reason…"

"Can you elaborate?"

"I just can't believe after all the blood and sweat, it's a domestic dispute that ends up bogging me down." Aurora said, furrowing her brow in annoyance.

"You're kidding." Thundervolt deadpanned, causing Aurora to arch her eyebrow angrily at the pegasus. "Sorry, it's just that I didn't expect something like that."

"What did you expect?" Aurora asked flatly.

"Honestly? Something a little less…emotional." Thundervolt said contemplatively. "I guess I should have seen that coming."

"Why would you have? We were a little busy, remember?" Aurora said, rolling her eyes at the embarrassment replaying in her mind.

"I dropped the ball on that one…"

"You dropped the ball off of a sheer cliff face after lighting it on fire." Aurora said without emotion. "Though if you hadn't, I'd have never sought her out again."

"Her?" Thundervolt asked, surprised yet again. "Since when do you swing that way?"

"If you're implying I'm swinging in any direction other than where my heart takes me, you're sorely mistaken." Aurora said with a slight frown on her face.

"So the hardened warrior believes that 'Love is Love', no matter the gender." Thundervolt said almost proudly. "You keep on surprising me."

"I only surprise you because you fail to realize how amazing I really am." Aurora said rather over-confidently.

"Your coat is turning cyan." Thundervolt replied in jest.

"There's overconfidence, and then there's telling the truth." Aurora grinned as her neon green eyes shifted towards the white pegasus.

"Maybe you're just Rainbow Dash in a convincing Aurora costume."

"Would I really go through all that trouble?"

"Hmmm, no. You're right." Thundervolt said, grinning madly at the petite pink pony. "Besides, you're too short to be accurately portrayed by anypony over the age of fourteen."

*Smack*

"Ow!"

"What did I tell you about that?" Aurora asked calmly, blowing dust off of her recently used hoof.

"*Sigh* That every 'short' joke I make earns me one swift kick in the flank." Thundervolt said, rolling his golden eyes.

"That's damn right they do." Aurora said energetically.

"Hey, are two done in here or what!?" Thundervolt and Aurora turned to see Rainbow Dash fly into the room abruptly. "We need you out here right now!"

"Why, what's going on?" Aurora asked.

"The Princess just sent a letter to Twilight!" Rainbow Dash said. "We have to get everypony together right now!"

"Ok, so what do you need us for?" Thundervolt asked skeptically.

"Aurora is going to go get Pinkie Pie from Sugarcube Corner, and you're going to get Aurora's friends from the Ponyville Inn, Room number twelve." Rainbow Dash said snappily.

"And what do you plan on doing?"

"I'm going to fly all the way over to Sweet Apple Acres and get Applejack here pronto! Unless either of you would like to quadruple the distance of your trips." Rainbow Dash replied incredulously.

"No thank you."

"I'm good."

"That's what I thought. I'll see you in a flash!" Rainbow Dash took off in the direction she came from, leaving a rainbow trail in her wake.

"Looks like we've got work to do." Thundervolt said idly.

"More like errands. See you back here soon." Aurora said dismissively, making her way towards the library's exit.

"Wait, Aurora?" Thundervolt stopped her, prompting the pink pony to turn around curiously. "You'll think about what I said, right?"

Aurora stayed silent as she looked into Thundervolt's golden eyes with conflicted emotions. She mulled over a few replies in her head, but ultimately swallowed her words.

"I'll be back with Pinkie Pie momentarily."

The pink pony walked out the door without another word, leaving Thundervolt to his task. The pegasus wore a small frown, but shook off the concern. He had his own errand to worry about at the moment, and he wasn't going to let her off that easy. Thundervolt flapped his wings, and flew out of the library with haste towards the Ponyville Inn. He prepared himself to finally meet Aurora's friends face to face, and took to the sky.


Thanks for reading everybody! Next update is in the works, so it shouldn't be too long a wait. Also, for the few people that may have noticed, this story is now rated T because the coarse language that would have prompted an M rarely shows up.
