Chapter 2:
StarWolf woke up and went downstairs to find, like every morning, she was the first one up. She went over to the cabinet and grabbed some of the little food they had left and started to make breakfast. She went over to another cabinet unlocked it and grabbed a muffin for herself, by the time everyone got down breakfast was ready and StarWolf had finished her muffin and was now laying outside in the shade. Breakfast was put on the table ready for everyone when they got down and Lightning Wolf just looked out at StarWolf and smiled. StarWolf was sitting under a tree she planted when she first started building the house and used just a little magic to increase its growth just enough to make it a nice tree to sit under. She was laying down while happily looking up then putting her head down to read a book she brought out. Back in the house Fire Star asked "When's the next time we go into the town?" Lightning Wolf laughed. "You not for another month or two, your mother is going into town to get some stuff sometime this week." Lightning told him. "AWWW, I want to go into town." Fire Star said. "Not yet, sorry Fire. Besides you've never been to town before." StarWolf said surprising them because they hadn't noticed her coming in. "Also, I'm going to town tomorrow and getting ready today so I probably won't be here when you wake up and you have to make your own breakfast." StarWolf said. "Yes mother" Lightning Wolf said in a mocking way. StarWolf just smiled. StarWolf walked upstairs and grabbed a traveling bag, she put extra cloth in her bag just in case her cloak ripps, a blanket, a pillow, a small tent, food and water, a book just in case, and her bits. Last she grabbed a package and carefully placed it at at the bottom of her bag. StarWolf then grabbed a piece of paper and went to her desk with her ink and quill, she picked up the quill and wrote,
Dear Black Light,
I'm coming to town tomorrow and wanted to know if you would like to meet me there, I'll be going to pontville like usual if you do. Please send me a response and where you want to meet me, Blaze will stay there and bring your reply back.
Your Friend, StarWolf
StarWolf rolled and sealed the letter(like how Spike does for Princess Celestia but with a turtle as the seal), then she got another piece of paper and wrote another note but this time put an address on it then sealed it like the first one but with a full moon instead of a turtle. "BLAZE." StarWolf called out. She opened the window and a teal phoenix flew in. "I'd like you to take this letter with the turtle to Black Light and the one with the full moon to the ponyville post office. Ok girl?." StarWolf said. Blaze cood in response and flew off with the message in her talons. StarWolf laid down on her bed and because it was midday by that time she sent out Blaze she took a nap. StarWolf woke up two hours later to Blaze pecking lightly at her head. She sat upon her bed and Blaze nudged a letter with a microphone seal on it. StarWolf smiled. "Good girl Blaze." StarWolf said as she got out of bed and used her magic to levitate and open the note going over to her desk and putting it down to read it.
Dear StarWolf,
I'd love to be able to meet you. I'll meet you in the town square in two days. Oh and bring Fire and BrightStar I want to give you all something but they have to here.
Your friend, Black Light
"I geuss Fire is going to get his wish after all." StarWolf says. StarWolf walks downstairs to find everyone playing a game on the floor that StarWolf made so BrightStar could play even without her sight. BrightStar perked up her ears and lifted up her head when she heard StarWolf start walking down the stairs. "Hi mom, nice nap?" BrightStar asked. StarWolf stopped being surprised about BrightStar knowing what she was doing long ago. "Nice. Though I'm sad to say I have to cut your game short. Fire Star, BrightStar your coming to town with me tomorrow. So you better get packing. I'll get the bigger tent and carry that but you'll have to bring your own food and water, blankets, and pillows. You also have to carry them." StarWolf said. "Okay, thanks mom!" FireStar exclaimed running to get packed. "Um, mom, are you sure I should go?" BrightStar asked timidly. "Actually I don't know Bright but Black Light asked me to bring both of you so…" StarWolf trailed off. "So that's why you're bringing us?! Because a friend asked?" BrightStar exclaimed angrily. "I know it's a bad reason," StarWolf said hugging BrightStar. "but Fire wanted to go anyway and she has something for you two she said she can only give to you with you there." StarWolf explained. *sniff*"Okay, I'll go get my stuff ready." BrightStar said. "Okay good girl." StarWolf said. By the time Princess Luna started to raise the moon everyone had finished packing and eaten dinner. StarWolf looked up at the sky sad she can't stay up, but she needed to sleep for tomorrow. "All right, Fire Star, BrightStar because you're coming with me tomorrow you need to sleep so it's bedtime right now and lights out immediately." StarWolf said. "What?!" Fire Star exclaimed. "Sorry Fire but were leaving early tomorrow." StarWolf said. "Okay…" Fire Star said. "And no magic either." StarWolf said. "Aw dang it!" Fire Star exclaims. "Night guys!" StarWolf called. She walked over to Lightning Wolf. "Night Lightning." She said nuzzling his shoulder. "Night Star." Lightning responded licking her ear. StarWolf went upstairs and laid down in her bed falling asleep exhausted from the day even though she took a nap.
The next day StarWolf got up ate her muffin then got Fire and BrightStar up. They had put their bags in the doorway the previous night after StarWolf put the bigger tent in her bag after she used an expansion spell on her bag to fit everything in it. StarWolf gave the kids two pieces of toast to eat for breakfast. They put on their bags and before they left Lightning Wolf came down to say goodbye. "Kids, go wait outside for me." StarWolf said. "See you in a few days Lightning." StarWolf said hugging him. "See you in a few days Star." Lightning said. "And please try not to push yourself too hard." Lightning Wolf said hugging her back worried. StarWolf let go of him. "Don't worry, I know my limit and BrightStar will be there so she'll make us stop." StarWolf said. "Good, see you in a few days." Lightning said licking her ear. "See you in a few days." StarWolf agreed nuzzling his shoulder. StarWolf walked out to her kids "Come on." She said looking at the sky the sun only just starting to rise. "We have to get as far as we can today because it takes two days to get there." StarWolf says walking off. Fire and BrightStar followed her looking at her curiously. "We'll only stop when we absolutely have to which is probably only to eat and sleep but other than that I don't think there's anything else, we'll get up early again tomorrow and keep going until we get to Ponyville." StarWolf explained bluntly. "Is Ponyville the name of where we're going?" Fire Star asked. "Yes." StarWolf said still monotone. They walked all day stopping only when BrightStar and Firestar asked to eat. Once they got to the spot they wanted to set camp up at StarWolf set up the tent and asked Fire Star to get firewood and for BrightStar to get food for dinner. When Fire Star got back and started the fire StarWolf made dinner and gave most of it to Fire and BrightStar only taking a little bit for herself then going to the corner of their camp to eat alone and look up at the stars. She ate her dinner and went to get up when her right foreleg gave out under her. StarWolf gasped and laid back down putting her front legs out infront of her. She laid there looking up at the stars thinking about when she first came outside Equestria. StarWolf was so lost in thought that she didn't even notice BrightStar come over to her. "Mom, are you okay? I heard you gasp earlier and I saw you lay down again so I got scared and waited for Fire to go into the tent and-"
"I'm fine" BrightStar was cut off and hurt by her mother's sharp reply "I'm going to bed." StarWolf said getting up and ever so quietly and slightly limping back to the tent to lay down. BrightStar soon followed and curled up to sleep next to her mother with her brother on the other side of StarWolf. They all slept through the night though StarWolf woke up earlier than she usually would she got up and went outside to eat her muffin that she'd brought along for breakfast. After she finished her muffin StarWolf got out four pieces of bread and toasted them over a tiny bit of embers to make some nice toast for the kids, put out the embers and put everything they didn't need in the respective bag and put them next to the firepit. By that time the moon was a little below the horizon and StarWolf got the kids up. The kids ate while StarWolf took down the tent and by the time everyone had their bags on and ready to go the sun was just coming up. "Come on, we need to go if we want to get to town by about midday and I don't want to there any later." StarWolf said walking in the direction they needed to go. They walked almost all morning and they were at a cliff with a giant flower on it(the cliff Twilight and Cadence went to in Threes a Crowd) and when and they had just gotten to the top when StarWolf starts limping very slightly on her front left leg. Fire Star dosn't notice it before StarWolf straightens out her step but BrightStar hears StarWolf limp just a tiny bit before she straightens out her step but even after that BrightStar hears that StarWolf is stiff and in a bit of pain. BrightStar thinks of mentioning it but decides not to because of her moms temper at the moment. Though Fire Star does notice his moms stiffness so he asks "Hey mom why do you look so stiff?" StarWolf hesitates and BrightStar adds in "You also sound like you're walking in pain." StarWolf sighed. "I'll just say that when I first came out of Equestria I didn't know where things were or how to use them to heal myself so for a while I could only walk when I absolutely needed to which made it hard to live. I finally healed and I meet Lightning and they helped me heal more, but after that last explosion in the shop it started acting up again. Lightning didn't even want me to come this month." StarWolf explained quickly. They sat and had a snack and Starwolf suddenly said "That's enough of a break, we need to get going." She finishes her snack and starts walking. StarWolf flicked her ears for her kids to follow. They both got up and FireStar used his magic to clean and pack where they just were. As they started walking FireStar and Bright Star fell back behind their mother. "I don't think that she was telling the full story about why she didn't like coming, it felt out of place." Bright Star said to FireStar quietly. "No kidding, you'd really believe that's the reason she doesn't like going to town? That story had nothing to do with the town." FireStar replys just as quite. StarWolf looks back and the kids and they went quite.
They walked two or three more hours and the town finally came into view. The kids were about to run off but StarWolf used her magic to hold them back. "AWWWW. Why can't we hurry up and go to town?" Fire Star complained. "Because I need to tell you a few things first." StarWolf said. The kids were confused but sat down anyway. "I want you to stay close to me and were going to meet one of my old friends and please don't talk to anyone unless I say you can." StarWolf said releasing the magic that was stopping the kids from going anywhere but this time they didn't run off and they stayed next to StarWolf.
They walked into town and Firestar and BrightStar were surprised how many ponies knew there mother because she only came to town once in a while. A hyper pink pony came up and started talking fast and rambled on about stuff when StarWolf finally said "Geez Pinkie I didn't know it was possible but you seem crazier than usual. What's up?" The pink pony smiled "And the shortest version possible please I need to meet someone." StarWolf said before Pinkie could start to ramble on more. "Oh well that's easy silly, you looked exhausted and sad and that mad me sad so I decided that I would come over here and cheer you up because that's what friends do." The pink pony said happily now that StarWolf was smiling. "Thanks pinkie, your crazy antics always cheer me up after the long trek here." StarWolf told her cheerfully. "Thanks Star that makes me happy to hear, I love cheering ponies up though you probably already know that. Anyway, I got to go meet Twilight she's doing something at the library and needs me and the other girls to help." Pinkie responded. "Okay, well it's been nice seeing you Pinke I might see you later, Bye." StarWolf said starting to walk away with the kids following. Next they ran into(literally) a blue pegasus with a rainbow mane. "You need to slow down a bit sometimes Rainbow, that's at least the fifth time you've run into me when I get here or when I'm leaving and I'm not even counting the times when I'm staying around." Starwolf said teasingly. Rainbow laughed nervously "Sorry Wolf I just have to go meet Twilight she said she needed to ask me about something and I wasn't looking where I was going at the moment." Rainbow told her. "That's okay Dash I'm just teasing ya, I ran into Pinkie and she said she was meeting you and the rest of the girls at the library." Starwolf told her. "Oh that's right I have to meet the girls, by Wolf." Rainbow told her. "By Dash." With that the rainbow maned pegasus speed off.
They got to town square and meet another pony that StarWolf knew but time BrightStar could tell her mom was expecting to see the pony. StarWolf ran up and called out to her friend that was waiting there. "Black!" The pony looked up. "Star! It's nice to see you, it's been so long, what two three years?" StarWolf smiled "I think it's only been about a year and a half, you exaggerate too much but it's nice to see you again." Starwolf said turning to her kids. "Fire Star, Bright Star this is my old friend Black Light." StarWolf told them. "And this is Mythical Light and Legendary Light, or as they prefer Myth and Legend." Black Light said. The kids waved to each other, Black Light has a cloak on hiding her legs and back but she has a gray coat and a teal mane and tail with a dirty blue streak in it, she had her wings through holes in the cloak. Mythical Light is a unicorn and has a lighter blue coat and darker blue mane, her cutie mark is headphones. Legendary Light Is a pegasus with a gray coat and a blue mane with a large chunk of cyan in it, his cutie mark is a stage light. The kids waved to each other, BrightStar couldn't see it but she could her the filly and foals hooves come of the ground and the air moving a tiny bit. The parents told the kids that they should go and get to know each other.
While the kids were getting to know each other or playing StarWolf and Black Light were catching up. "So how's life outside civilization Star?" Black Light asked starting the conversation. "Not bad Light, I made a new house for us because the old one was getting too old and I accidentally blew something up in the workshop and that kinda sorta destroyed the house with it so…" StarWolf trailed off and Black Light started laughing and she laughed so much her eyes watered. "HEY!" StarWolf exclaimed. "It's not like you haven't ever broken a light or something while setting up." StarWolf finished. Black Light stopped laughing and said. "Well at least I haven't ever completely destroyed the stage." StarWolf just looked at her. "Really she said, what about that time-" Black Light cut her off. "I thought we agreed never to speak of that again." Black Light said plainly. "Eh, you laughed at me for blowing something up and I'll bring up something even more painful. I'm such a great friend." Starwolf said the last part especially cheerfully. Black Light shivered. "No kidding." She muttered. After they talked for a while StarWolf said "We better get going if we want to get our normal rooms." They called their kids and went to a hotel and got a room that they normally used when they were there, went to them and slept after a long day.
