Chapter 6:
"Cloud Watcher." She spoke calmly and steadily. "Your father is here." A man stepped out of the shadows. "Son." he said happily. "Your actually here. I thought I had lost you." He leaned in to hug me, when I dodged out of the way. My father fell to the ground with a large THUD! and growned in pain. I leaped towards Celestia. "RUN!" I said, grabbed her leg, and ran for the exit. When I reached the door, my dad was right on our trail. I tried to kick him but fell and he grabbed my hind legs. I kicked his hooves away and ran towards Celestia. We flew out of the castle, and over to the train station. "Why are we here?" I asked curiously. The princess ignored my question and entered a small gift shoppe. I decided to wait outside, and saw the same twirling pony I saw In the square. What was her name? I thought curiously. The pink mare came up to me. "Hey there! I didn't catch your name last time I saw you. What is it?" "Cloud Watcher." I said, remembering the gorgeous pony's name. Her gaze met mine, and our eyes locked. She slowly stepped closer to me, and stopped when we were nose to nose. She grabbed me, and pulled me into her arms. Then she did the strangest thing ever. She kissed my cheek. I panicked a little, when she attacked me with hugs. The princess walked out, but I was stuck so I couldn't follow her. The mare kissed me again and again, and I pushed her aside and stood up. "Gypsy, I don't like you like that!. "I shoved her off of me, and ran out of the store, when I finally flew away with the princess. I wondered where we were going, and why Celestia stopped at a gift shoppe. I wondered a lot about the princess, but didn't say anything. I trusted her choices, even though they may seem strange. We traveled to a place called Ponyville, where this irritatingly charming pink pony stopped us. "HEY THERE! YOU MUST BE NEW!" She giggled as I backed away. This pony is really strange, I thought to myself. She hopped around us singing a really chipper song I couldn't understand. Suddenly she left, and came back seconds later with a cannon that said on the side: PINKIE'S PERSONAL PARTY CANNON (PPPC) :D. She lit the top of it, and outshot TONS of confetti. I smiled as she sang more songs and more ponies appeared with her. A purple alicorn appeared after they left, and walked up to the princess. "Celestia. There is trouble at the castle. Luna has informed me of this. What can I do to help?" The purple princess looked at celestia expectantly. Celestia waved her off. "All there is to do is take this to Rarity, and find a spot to house this pony here in town." She pulled out a cloth covered object about the size of a pebble. She pointed to me after The mysterious alicorn took the object. "Okay. My name is Twilight Sparkle. And what is your name?" "Cloud Watcher." I said very shakily. This alicorn seemed to be friends with Celestia, meaning she had to be good, right? Oh well, I thought. I walked along the cobblestone path, looking at the shoppers. I entered one that was a dress shop. Inside was a white unicorn with purple hair. She was working on a ball gown, I assumed, with very delicate stitching. I walked up to her, and calmly asked for her name. "Rarity. And you are?" She turned to face me. "Cloud Watcher." I said staring into her eyes. She looked familiar, as did a bunch of ponies and stores here. While I was trying to figure it out, she continued speaking. "Well Cloud Watcher, are you going to gawk at me, or tell me why you are here?" I thought fast. "I am here to deliver something with Twilight, but she must have stopped before we got here." Technically I wasn't lying, was I? Twilight walked in after I spoke, saving me from having to speak more. "Twilight! How are you? I haven't seen you in ages!" Rarity said excitedly. "Good. But I come on official business. Here" She handed Rarity the strange object and waved goodbye. Then she grabbed my hoof and pulled me towards the door. "Come on." she said sternly, and I obeyed. I followed her to a caravan, which had the words THE GREAT AND POWERFUL TRIXIE on it. I stared at the red and brown wagon, when Twilight pulled me over to a door. She knocked on it, and a dark figure appeared. I could hardly see her until she flipped on the porch light (it was nighttime at this point). She had a Bright white mane and tail, and was a sky blue color. I stood still, listening to twilight. "Trixie. You're the only unicorn I know that can use disguising magic. I need you to do me a favor. Can you make this Pegasus appear different?" I jumped back. "YOU WANT ME TO BE DIFFERENT?!" I turned to leave when I saw myself start to be covered in dark purple energy. I was lifted off the ground and placed in the caravan. The two mares came closer, using their magic to hold me. Trixie walked up and squeezed her eyes shut tight. Then I was being surrounded by blue energy. Suddenly, my grey skin tone turned a shimmery green, and my hair turned into a sleek gold.
