Chapter Three: Feathers
Death's P.O.V.
They were thankful for the clothes and food.
Caspian walked into a clean, or should I say, semi-clean house.
When he pushed the topic he got, all he got as a reply was "if we're living here, it needs to look like its not a boy's house."
Slightly sexist but true. Caspian was fine with it, this place needed a women's touch, and you never turn down a free cleaning.
"Now down to business," he said, "what are we going to do now?"
"Simple," Twilight said "we're going to blend into society. Act like thet act, do what they do, etcetera, etcetera."
"Now how would we do that?" Applejack asked. They looked at Caspian.
"Well. The normal teenagers would ne going to high school, the highest public school," Caspian told.
"Your saying we would have to go to school, with other people?" Rainbow Dash thought the idea was mad. Caspian nodded.
"You don't have to go if you don't want to," Caspian said.
"No, I'll go," Rainbow Dash said, "you guys need me," she stuck her tounge out.
Caspian nodded, "give me a couple of days to give us all a history, we can't just show up out of thin air."
"Ooohhhh!" Pinkie Pie cheered, "Can I be called 'Goldend Retreiver?"
"Yes... if we were dogs. No offense." Caspian returned.
"Oh...," Pinkie Pie frowned, "How about Daisy Plucker?"
"Pinkie..." Caspian sighed, "humans don't have names like that, its usually John Smith, William Harper, Heather Ferguson, Sarah Wiblin, et cetera."
"So will we need to use fake names?" Twilight said.
Caspian nodded, "Yes, our names aren't used in modern society. I'm sorry."
"No need to worry, darling, I'm sure that our names will be marvelous," Rarity said.
"Names have three different parts, a sur-name, first name, and middle name," Caspian informed.
"So we each need three new names?" Rainbow Dash asked.
"No, just a first name and a sur- family name." Caspian said. "We won't have to chose them now. But soon."
"How about you call me Matt Tennant?" Pinkie Pie asked.
"Isn't that a little to mascaline for you?" Caspian smile.
"Oh..." Pinkie Pie realised.
"How about Brittny?" Caspian put in.
"Oowww... Shiny," was all she said.
"Do you think you could give us our names?" Fluttershy asked.
"Not all at one time, giving you all cool names takes a lot of brain juice." Caspian answered, they giggled.
"Looks like the big man needs his beauty sleep," Applejack teased, wrapping her arm around him.
"I think that beauty sleeps does wonders," Rarity said.
"Now only if Spike was here," Twilight said.
"Who?" Caspian questioned.
"My baby dragon," Twilight answered, her face clouded in saddness.
Caspian had a idea, "I see, lets all get our beauty sleep, ey?"

Caspian's P.O.V.
Rainbow Dash dreamed she had her wings. Flying above the clouds, her wings shifting to the air. It was the freedom, it was bliss. She was as gracefull as the winged doves, and with speeds that difide the laws of physics. Her infamous Sonic Rainboom, a crowd starter, all watching her as she moved fast enough that she broke the color spectrum. Once you were able to bend the world to your will, you felt like nothing could stop you, nothing could slow you down. But this... this could, being stuck in a body with no wings. She couldn't stand the thought.
She woke up to tears in her eyes. It was still black outside. This wasn't right, even though her dream she was human waking up she shouldn't feel the same right? Right?
Wrong.
She felt the same, because she was the same, only instead of a cloud bed she had a firm one.
Why am I dwelling on the bed because no one has yet realised that she has a pair of blue wings.
When she found out she smiled and opened or mouth, but words did not come out. The didn't have to. Words could not discribe how she felt.
She bolted from the room, down paths inclosed by walls, to the only pegasis... Err... Human she knew would fly with her. He promised.
Rainbow Dash opened the door, I wasn't in my bed. I was sitting on the window, legs streched out.
"Why, ello there Rainbow Dash, nice to see you. Quite the face you got there though."
She was smiling like a maniac, which she was, but it was still kind of unnerving.
"Anything you would like to talk about?" I asked?
"Oh, nothing, just coming to make sure someone repays their promise," I really wasn't liking her smile.
"I told you I'm only making tacos on Tues-" I was cut off.
"No, silly, a differnt promise," Rainbow Dash said.
"Chinese food was a one time thing, don't want fo burn the house down," I said.
"No... We made it the first night we were here," Rainbow Dash hinted.
"Flying?" I was confused. That smile... something about it, "how?"
She unfolded her wings.
My eyes were moons. Rainbow Dash pulled me to my feet, and yanked my shirt off.
Her hand was placed on my back, where my black wing tattoo was. "Their our wings. Its their way of blending in. Their disguise, you just need to unfold them," Rainbow Dash instructed.
My eyes were there normal size again. "Stupid, stupid, stupid," I said to myself, hitting myself on the forehead, " if magic works, then our wings have to, too."
"Magic wha?"
"Nothing. Yet," I said.
She put her hand around mine, "Follow me."
We walked through the house, through the door, through the yard, and into the forest.
"Its really instinctual, just flap your wings and you'll handle they rest," Rainbow Dash deminstrated, by hovering above the ground.
I unfolded and stretched out my black feathers. I felt more awake. There was still that strange feeling of uncertainty, but I flapped my wings. I was lifted inches from the ground, I smiled a big smile, "hazzah! its, amazing."
"Yep. Catch me if you can!" Rainbow Dash dashed forward, guess there was a reason she was called Rainbow 'Dash'.
I chased after her for about half of a hour, catching up to her at certain times. It was good, we slowly, and unknowingly went deeper into the heart of the forest.

Death's P.O.V.
Caspian landed at the edge of a cliff overlooking the valley, "wow," Caspian said, Rainbow Dash landed next to him, "I always knew there was a valley here, but it was to far a hike for me to make the trip. We should return, but first."
He stretched out his wings and hands, and fell forward.
Caspian closed his eyes, feeling the wind rush past his face. He fell faster and faster. He felt no fear, he only felt triumph.
Caspian's eyes opened, his wings curved ever so slightly. He landed softly on the ground, Rainbow Dash first in fear, now in challenge, followed suit.
With both of them satisfied, they return to the house surrounded by trees.
Okay, its been a couple of days, and I like the story. Anyway, read, write, review, eat bacon.
