Chapter 7 Suggestions to inceptions
The windows to the living room, which they were all sitting in, were wide open. There was no way I could look inside and not get spotted. I looked across the street to see Dr. Whooves little shop. He sold all kinds of trinkets and things. He had a telescope peering out his window. Perfect. Inside the shop was pretty much as bad as a cluster buck as Rainbows house. Gears and other pieces of his technology were scattered all over. The floor was bearable but the shelves were just jammed with stuff.
"Good afternoon ms. Cloudchaser what may I help you with?" He came out of his backroom. Most likely previously working on some other junk judging by the oil splashes on him.
"Hello Dr. Whooves. I was wondering if I could use your telescope over there for a bit."
"Sure, sure. Be my guest I never use that anymore anyways." He went back into the room and the sounds of clicking and tapping began again. The telescope zoomed into the living room perfectly. There was a tree and a few bushes between Derpys house and the shop, so I was well hidden. They were all in the living room except for Derpy. Bon-Bon was playing a board game with Octavia. Colgate and Lily Valley were spotting random things out in a magazine. Flitter was next to Octavia, watching the two play. What were they doing? Was it some kind of like meeting or get-together? I watched for a while then derpy came in. She had a tray with different colored muffins. Blueberry, cranberry those sorts of things. Everypony took a muffin and Derpy set the tray down on the table in the middle if the living room and sat down on the couch and watched the game also. I wonder if she could even see with her crossed eyes, but hell if she can make muffins she can probably watch a board game. Octavia stood up and cheered. My only possible conclusion was she won. Bon-bon got up and sat on the couch next to Octavia as Flitter and Derpy began a game of… whatever. I didn't know what they were playing. It looked kinda like chess but, the pieces were flat chips though but it seemed similar. Derpy seemed to be giving Flitter some actual competition. Flitter took almost twice as long as Derpy to make a move. On top of that Derpy had much more pieces on the board. nopony seemed surprised at that fact, not even Flitter. I always Derpy was called that because she was well… derpy. I never would have guessed her to be so smart. A random announcement by Colgate gathered everyponies attention. She was pointing out some things on a magazine Lily was holding up. Colgate put the magazine down and they all headed for the door. I hid behind the window and kept peeking until they could no longer see me. I went up to Derpys window and looked inside. I couldn't make out what was on the magazine very well since the lights were off but, it looked like Cupcakes, Cream pies, and other Pinkie specials, a popular cookbook by Pinkie Pie about all her sweats and other sugary snacks. If Colgate was pointing to things on this the only two places they could have went to is either the market, or Sugarcube corner. I still had all day, and so did they.
"Hey Dr. Whooves thanks for letting me borrow the telescope. I've gotta go now."
"Ok Cloudchaser you have yourself a nice day." I had no time to respond. By the time his sentence was over I headed out. First, to Sugarcube corner.
