Knucklehead of Ponyville

Author's Note: So another chapter and I'm going to roll with the big ones especially now that I've scoured the internet for some great humanized pictures of our favorite mares. This isn't going to be like my other story of course as the plot is more centralized on certain things like the relationship between three of the characters.

Ramen Junky: Damn straight one thing that he's always kept was his word. Also I'm surprised did you expect a crappy chapter from me?

Cf96: Of course Cf I'm working on another great chapter as we speak.

KineticKaiser: Yeah pacing's key in this story, if I rushed through the episodes unlike the last one I'd have some issues if I jumped a week ahead right after the nightmare moon incident.

Dragonblaze: How would he know any of that, Jiraiya didn't teach him any of stuff so the answer is no he only knows what he has up his sleeves up until the beginning of Shippuden.

Disclaimer: I don't own My little pony or Naruto.

Chapter Three: Clash of Egos

Padded sandals slowly stepped on to the concrete floor soaking in the peaceful and colorful atmosphere as each one of the new acquaintances slowly pushed him out-of-the-way snapping him out of the peaceful-like trance he was in. "Uh, where are you guys going?"

"Oh sorry Naruto, but were going too sweet apple acres to see how the catering is going." The violet eyed girl smiled as she watched her the stranger nod to himself probably contemplating what he could do to assist her.

"Well good luck with that, I'm going to look around town for something to do so I guess I'll see you guys later then...wait anywhere you want to meet up or will you all find me?" Naruto ignored the look of confusion written cross Twilight's face as he slowly stretched looking on once again at the small town his mind made-up trying to find someone more willing to show him around the small town.

"Yeah we'll find you, now go and do whatever?" The unicorn guards voice became one of anticipation his hand brushing a loose strand of hair out of his sight.

""Well I would be goin' with ya t'make sure you'll be alright, but I have t'guard the lass o'er there but if ya need anythang just holler or come an' find us. We'll be around h'er somewhere." Crimson cringed as his accent came back out, he had practiced for so long to hide what he truly was only for it to rear its ugly head once again.

"Yeah thanks." Naruto paid no mind to the sudden change in the broad man's accent, his eyes already set on his first destination in the distance, a strangely shaped house he had only seen once before. It was shaped like a big top tent he'd seen on the road with his perverted mentor Jiraiya, but the similarities to the tent ended there as he saw structural beams and windows decorating the building, it gave him this playful feeling as he approached the building. His body stopping midway as deafening pain erupted through his torso sending the blonde crashing into the ground an unfamiliar weight pressed against his abdomen and a jarring pain in his sternum.

"I said watch out you orange wearing idiot, I was in the middle of following Rainbow dash doing her Fantastic Filly Flash." A tomboyish voice croaked out as her elbow dug into the blonde's sternum trying to push herself off the stranger not caring for his well-being only wanting to be rid of him and follow her idol once again.

He didn't bother moving as an elbow digs deeper into his sternum, he was sure whoever was doing this wasn't doing it for the sake of his health as a violet tuft of hair popped into sight as the figure bolted right up removing both objects from delving further into his side. Naruto hand shot forth with the speed a season chunin could muster as it gripped the assailants leg tightly.

"Please let go it was an accident." Scootaloo's tone became fearful as the stranger's grip tightened around her ankle, tears slowly forming in her eyes as she struggled against his grasp. 'I can't go back there I'm finally free.' The youngster struggled as much as possible, her body falling to the ground almost instantly as she got a better look at her captor.

Naruto did nothing as he stared at the now confirmed female's face, she was no older than Konohamaru. her skin tone was a pale white the blonde hadn't seen on anyone before even on his companions on the train. Grayish violet eyes stared at him in fear as his grip remained on the girls leg. Naruto's eyes traced the small girls cheeks or what was their of them, her face was sunken in a common sign of lack of nutrition the blonde had become accustomed to in his younger years. His gaze traveled downward as he spared a small glance at the crudely patched up hoodie she wore, it was riddled with stains and the occasional caked mud. His eyes did pick up on something though the sheer size of the hoodie was two sizes too big for the malnourished girl. He paused at the sight if a pair of feathery wings that seemingly sprouted off the back of her hoodie, they were a dark orange and crooked from the looks of where he sat looking at her for the moment. His eyes finally traced down to his left arm and the leg he gripped so tightly, only loosening in fear of snapping the poor girls leg if he kept the pressure applied to what he felt was bone. Naruto's eyes settled on the dirt ridden jeans, he said nothing as his gaze finally drifted down to the girl shoes one dangling off her scrawny feet as the other remained on the strangers foot, albeit loosely if the open space she had been anything to go bye. "If I let go are you going to run away?" His eyes turned to the small contraption for a second, he'd seen this thing before it was a scooter something only the rich in Konoha rode around on to pass the time or impress their friends.

"Scootaloo paused as she stared into the strangers blue eyes, she'd seen that look before once the eyes of understanding but she knew he couldn't have bore anything like the four months she had endured, the orphanage of ponyville burning down it was a rather unfortunate event and luckily no one had died but this left a half a dozen orphans without a home and started what Scootaloo would like to call the downfall of her life. She hadn't a proper meal in ages and the constant hounding and lying to those around her, made that feeling of despair rise in her chest rise to another level. So she'd do what she did for countless months lie to him and be on her merry way. "I won't run away now will please let go." Scootaloo's tone turned to that of an angel, something she had used countless times before to sway those around and this would be no different looking in those eyes she knew it wouldn't fail as it never failed.

"I'm sure that worked on countless people before me, but I, Naruto Uzumaki the greatest nin- I mean nimblest of all time isn't tricked by a sickly sweet tone I've heard it before and if it didn't work then it won't work now." Cerulean eyes gauged the small girl as fear was starting to be slowly replaced in her mind as violet eyes brightened slightly, his hands relinquished the frightened child of his grasp, his eyes gauging what she'd try to do.

Scootaloo couldn't possibly believe he let her go, he knew of her intentions and yet still he let her go. 'Was i wrong, doesn't he want to turn me in and give me a better home?, can I trust him like her?' Thoughts plagued her for what felt like minutes but in reality was only but ten seconds. 'I don't care, he's not going to befriend me like her n one will now.' The sheer thought of her leaving the small town was enough to snap her out of any delusions of grandeur she had as she got upright and ran from the strange blonde.

Naruto had expected as much from the girl as he watched her scurry down the street it would've been cute if he didn't know the truth of the matter, that she was homeless. "You can run kid but as long as I got this we'll meet again and next time hopefully we'll talk for real, Dattebayo." He knew he had to return home it was as obvious as the setting sun, but he had already made a promise and he intended to keep it.

Naruto did nothing but sit on the dirt ridden ground staring at what probably was the strangers prized possession, his own currently wrapped around his forehead. Staring at the scooter only brought memories of dumpster diving as a kid, right to the front of his mind, his hands grasping at anything edible eating spoiled food from the trash cans and drinking from puddles of filth ridden water as his tenant fought off whatever ailments he'd receive from drinking such a putrid thing. He was lucky back then, he had people who cared for him, old-man hokage, the Ichiraku's and on the rare occasion an anbu member, but did she have anyone looking out for her and if so why did she look so resentful then? 'I'll find out before I leave again maybe this Princess Celestia can help her out, or maybe I can get this moon princess coming back to help out I'm sure she'd have some sort of power over her kingdom.'

Naruto pushed himself off the ground grabbing the scooter, going back to what originally had his attention the strange-looking building. It only took him a few seconds to close the distance to the strange building his eyes noticing a stray paper attached to he door.

If you are in need of me I'll be in he Town Hall

Thank you Rarity!

Naruto paused as he re-read the paper again, his resolve hardened in the blonde's eyes ready to find this Rarity person, and hopefully she'd be kind enough to share some answers to who that girl was and why did she have the eyes of someone who could barely handle whatever things she had been through.

Twilight gazed at the farm, spike's dragon-like claws wrapping around her hand, the group watched hordes of people from Celestia knows where meeting up on the country like farm. "I was expecting fewer people."

"That's the understatement of tha year lass." Stated the lumbering giant next to her, while he looks at all the apple trees that covered the farm land as he feels his stomach start to rumble at the thought of food. Crescent just steps in line with them with his Scarlet eyes narrowed as he scans the area with a watchful eye.

"Oh WOW! look at all those people Twilight," exclaimed her young assistant as he points down toward the mass of Equestrians in the farm,"I haven't seen this many people since the Equestria Games were held in Canterlot a few years ago."

Twilight sighs as she starts to walk toward the big barn house in the center if the mass of people, "Lets just get this over with." And with that they start to follow her.

THUNK

They stop as they hear what sounded like something striking a tree hard near them. Crescent, reacting spins around with his hand on his sword hilt ready to draw it toward the sound before he felt a large calloused hand gripping his shoulder halting his actions. Crimson, who had seen what made the loud sound near them, placed his hand upon his fellow guard's shoulder to stop him from pulling out his sword.

Crescent looks up to his friend and sees him very slightly shake his head before looking toward where he heard the sound coming from. They see a slim but very fit earthian woman wearing worn out light brown Stetson hat with golden hair flowing out from under the hat and down her back in a braid facing toward an apple tree with baskets surrounding it a few yards away. She was wearing a cutoff red button up shirt with three buttons undone that shows off her tone tan stomach and some of her cleavage of her c cup breasts, along with a pair of tight faded jeans that showed off her long firm legs with a few rips on the left leg and a pair of worn western boots. She also had her hands wrapped up in tape and three red delicious apple upon her cheek.

The Stetson hat wearing woman suddenly ran toward the tree and when she reaches the tree she plants a hard punch upon the tree making it violently shake forcing the apples to fall into the baskets below.

After wiping the sweet of a hard days work from under the brim of her hat she turns and sees four figures walking up towards her. The female leading the group wearing a lavender sweater-vest toward her looked like she REALLY didn't want to be here while the guy behind her with the white hair looked like he had a stick stuck up his ass. She could also see that there was a kid holding the hand of the leading girl. However the one that really caught her attention was the hulking armored person trailing behind the other three with a grace that was unexpected of one of his size but strangely reminded her of her older brother Big Mac.

When the group got close Twilight said, "Good Afternoon my name is Twilight Sparkle and-"

Twilight was interrupted when country girl grabbed her hand and started to shake it violently to the point Twilight thought her arm was going to shake off.

"Well howdy do Twilight, tis a pleasure t'make your acquaintance. My name is Applejack let me welcome ya to Sweet Apple Acres home t' tha sweetest and delicious apples in Equestria, and we h'er at Sweet Apple Acres sure do love t'make new friends. How can I help y'all?" She said as she releases her death grip on Twilight's hand, before looking a bit sheepish, "Oh Ah'm sorry but Ah didn't get yer friend's names."

Twilight stepped back and straightened her sweater-vest that had been wrinkled from the violent handshake, "Like I was saying before, My name is Twilight Sparkle and this here is my young assistant Spike."

Applejack finally got a good look at the young reptilian looking boy beside Twilight and tilts her hat toward him in greeting as he smiles a toothy grin at her.

The armored giant behind the group steps up and nods at her in greeting, "G'mornin t' ya Miss Applejack, me name is Crimson Shield and the lil' one behind me is Crescent. As you can see, We are apart of th' Royal Guard," he says with his now obvious accent as he thumps his closed hand over his heart proudly in salute while Crescent does the same while glancing at Twilight. "And we're h'er as protection detail fer the lass th're," he pauses as he seems to collect thoughts before speaking again but with a less of an accent, "while she supervises over the preparations for the arrival of the Princess for the Summer Sun Celebration."

"Exactly," Twilight says while glancing a curious look at Crimson for his change of accent, "and we are here to check on the preparations for the banquet food."

"And fer her to find some friends besides th' lil one here." Interrupted Crimson with a slight smirk while placing his large hand upon Crescent's shoulder before he tries to elbow him in the gut with no effect. Twilight just sends him a withering glare before turning back to Applejack.

"So I am to assume that you are in charge of the preparations of the food."

"We sure as sugar are! Wanna try some?" asked a sly looking Applejack

"Well actually, we have to chec-" was all she got out before Applejack grabbed her hand and dragged her away to a table with the rest of the group following them. After she places Twilight at the table she turns away and starts to ring a dinner triangle.

"SOUP'S ON EVERYONE!"

The next few minutes fly by as Applejack introduced her family and naming the treats as they were brought to the table. "And finally my lil sis Applebloom bringing the Apple-fritters and that's Granny Smith over there sitting in her rocking chair." A little girl with bright red hair tied up with a big lite purple bow and bright golden eyes wearing a pale yellow sundress holding some freshly made warm Apple-Fritters and places the plate on the table. "Now Big Macintosh or Big Mac as we call him was here earlier but Ah don't know where he is." Applejack turns to Crimson who is slightly drooling at all the delicious food placed on the table "ya know ya remind me of him a bit."

Crimson who snaps out of his daze looks back at her "Really, I will have t' meet him sometime ma'am." He looks over at Twilight and Crescent and sees that Twilight looks very uncomfortable while Crescent look a little jumpy.

"While all of this food looks amazingly delicious I'm afraid to say that we cannot stay and sample your food we need to check with the other preparations for the Celebrations." States Twilight while spike and Crimson looks slightly sad since they can't taste the amazing smelling food in front of them, while Crescent seems relieved.

Crimson glances at Twilight, "I'm sure it wouldn't hurt to try a little bit of it would it?"

Twilight sent an annoyed glance at Crimson before politely saying, "I'm sorry Appejack but we really need to make sure to stay on schedule," before standing up along with a relieved looking Crescent and a slightly dejected looking Crimson and started to walk off with Crimson staying behind for a bit.

"I apologize fer the lass and the quiet one, she hasn't had a lot of interactions with other people and while th' other has a good heart he takes things way t' seriously for the wrong reasons."

"Well both of the need ta get the sticks out of their asses, if ya don't mind me sayin'." Applejack said which caused Crimson to lightly chuckle. "But anyways nice ta meet ya Crimson hope ya comeback soon."

As Crimson begins to walk away to catch up with the others he felt a slight pull on his pants leg. Looking down he sees Applebloom smiling up at him holding an Apple-fritter in a napkin to him. Crimson smiles a gentle smile at Her and says, "Thank ya kindly lil one." With an Apple-Fritter in hand he catches up to Twilight, Spike and Crescent. Before giving half of it to a sad looking Spike, making him instantly happy.

"Crescent, you remember when I told ya while to make sure ya this protection detail seriously don't stress yerself out ya will make mistakes ya hear," Crimson said before latching onto Crescent's shoulder and slight tugging on it so that he can whisper into his ear, "Ah know ya're doing this to impress the girl o'er th're, calm down and focus do you understand me Crescent."

At Crescent's nod he releases his grip on Crescent and turns to Twilight with a stern glare. "And you lass, that was incredibly rude of ya the way you handled that situation. Just cause yer the Princess' student Does Not mean you can act like that t' other people.

Twilight unnerved with the hard glare with was receiving, shakes the chills off of her spine before responding, " I don't have time to sit around and eat, the more time we sit around and do nothing the less time I have to research Nightmare Moon to not only prove to the Princess that I am right but also to-"

"Nightmare Moon!?" Exclaimed an annoyed Crimson Shield, "that is no excuse yer actions t'day. Yer the student of Princess Celestial, not only th' ruler 'f Equestria but also th' most powerful magic user too. As h'r student ya're required to know humility and grace of a one 'f yer stature Miss Sparkle!" Crimson let out an annoyed sigh before speaking again, "for now on Miss Sparkle think about what yer saying and acti-"

"Excuse me what did you just say to me?" Her horn flaring slamming the giant fliers mouth shut as her violet eyes flared with anger. "Might I remind you why your here, you are here because my good friend CRESCENT said you would be helpful when Nightmare moon appears, and who am I to say no to him when he willingly volunteered to help me with this when the princess did not." If looks could act out on their own, the guard would have been banished to magical kindergarten for eternity. "Now shut up and do your job okay, I haven't heard a peep from Crescent so do what he's doing." Twilight shouted as the guard's face hardened taking up a much darker tone as he started to walk past in silence. "Oh and if you do speak choose a damn accent don't swap between the two."

Twilight shouted as the guard's face hardened and said in a very calm and slow voice "Yes M'lady I understand perfectly." causing Crescent to actually flinch as he remembers the last time he heard Crimson use that voice. He started to walk past them in silence as he shoots a look that can't quiet be described at Crescent as he walks past.

His eyes stared on at the building, it towered over the rest of the town like the hokage tower did back in Konoha, if this wasn't the town hall he was sure they could at least answer some of his questions on the strange girl he had just met not five minutes ago. "Well I'm not going to get home or help out that girl standing here." Narruto's sandals softly hit the ground, his calloused hands gripping the door knob as it opened with an ease the blonde wasn't expecting.

"Darling set the ribbons on the ground I'll handle it from there." The seamstress exclaimed as her horn glew with a cornflower blue aura, her eyes shining brightly as a silk white face turned towards the blonde. Her eyes focused on the blonde attire, a spark of hatred rose in her belly looking at the atrocious jump suit Naruto was wearing, such an abomination shouldn't be able to exist "*Au nom de tout ce qui est fashion quoi que, c'est comme un chimpanzé habillé vous avec des vêtements, il a trouvé à l'échelle locale de benne à ordures."

A befuddled look slowly formed across the blonde's face as the stranger slowly approached him. His eyes slowly taking in her appearance, a horn adorning her head similar to those he met only a few minutes ago only this on was glowing a slightly different color compared to Twilight's. His eyes darted towards the horned lass' head, shimmering violet hair curled at the bottom draped across the nape of her neck. A stunning silverish-white v-neck dress radiated off her slender and model-like frame, each step she took her D cup breasts bounced ever so slightly enhancing the female's femininity and beauty. Six-inch cyan high heels giving her extra height as they stood across each other, both holding bated breath as one wondered what the other just said, and the latter figuring a way to coax the handsome blonde out of his attire.

"What?"

"Oh sorry, a habit of mine when I see someone wear something so..."

"Tasteful?"

"Not what I had in my mind, though I believe the appropriate term would be something along the lines of an abomination. Perhaps you'd like me to give that I'm absolutely positive I have something in a maroon color that would fit you quite nicely."

"No thanks, I'm good and I don't expect to be here that long. Some friends of mine are waiting for me to return so I'm fine with what I got on at the moment." The blonde proclaimed his tone adding more incentive to drop the subject as Rarity gazed at him the aura around her horn dropping letting whatever colored ribbon dropping to the ground.

"I understand now mister..."

"Naruto."

"Bless you."

"I didn't sneeze, my name is Naruto Uzumaki."

"I see my mistake Mister Uzumaki." Her eyes narrowed on his frame desperately trying to find a way to convince the blonde to desert his current wardrobe into something more fitting and fashionable.

"I'm just looking for Rarity, I want to ask her something."

"You may, though I'm sure if its something crass I'll ignore you." Her eyes honing in on the zipper of his jumpsuit, it would be simple just a simple grasp with a telekinetic spell and then the rest would be simple as taking off a jacket.

"Wait your Rarity?"

"Yes did you expect some different?"

"A little, I mean your house looks like a tent, so I was expecting a guy I guess." His eyes shifting around trying not to meet the eyes of the glaring seamstress. "So what do you do in the tent then?"

Rarity couldn't say nothing to Naruto here teeth grinding as he refused to match her fearful stare, first he refused her generous offer for a new wardrobe and then he insinuates that she was masculine, the nerve of this scoundrel. "I am a seamstress." She narrowed her eyes further as a look of confusion slowly formed across his face. "I create dresses amongst other things, it is a wonderful job and I'd be willing to help you out with your attire free of charge, I promise you will look magnificent and something that would be the envy of your home if you accept." Her eyes desperately pleading to coax the blonde to accept her willingly.

"How about a deal then, after I chat with Celestia tomorrow, I'll let you choose my entire wardrobe, but that's only if I'm not saying goodbye to everyone." Naruto grinned at the prospect knowing this princess Celestia knew a way to get him home.

"I see and how do I know that you are man of your word, perhaps you could give me something that would ensure you wouldn't skip town?" She found it highly unlikely that Princess Celestia couldn't help this strange fellow out, but it couldn't hurt to coax him a little more into changing his wardrobe tomorrow.

"Rarity right, I don't know about here, but where I come from my word is golden, Dattebayo." Naruto's eyes daring the gorgeous girl to try and say something about him backing down on his word.

"I see then we will test it tomorrow then Naruto, now do you have anything else to ask because these decorations aren't going to set themselves up." Her eyes slowly drifted away from the walking disaster of fashion and reluctantly back to her task at hand.

Naruto paused contemplating the questions he had in his mind most surrounding the physical oddities he'd seen so far, but the two standing out the most was the prospect of Nightmare Moon and the girl with the scooter, his hands slowly rubbing against the jumpsuit's pocket reminding himself what was stored in one of the scrolls. "No I'm fine, I'll find someone else to talk with." Dexterous hands slowly grasped around the door knob pulling it open, leaving the elegant seamstress to her work.

Violet eyes met cerulean as both stared ach other down, the little girl from earlier standing before with a scowl written plainly across her face. "I want my scooter back." Her tone matched the anger evident on her face, only increasing as a fox-like grin grew on the blondes' face.

The four of them slowly walked through the town none of the male persuasion dared to say anything or raise Twilight's irritation another level as countless citizens of ponyville swayed from her path. Her steps stopped as a strangled sigh escaped her lips, slowly her body turned towards Spike,. "What's next on the list Spike?"

"We are supposed to see if the weather has been cleared for the celebration tomorrow."

"Well who ever is in charge isn't doing a great job."

"Well tell that to Rainbow Dash when you see her, she's been assigned weather duty." The reptilian boy answered immediately.

"Anyone but her." A quiet mumble came from the horned guard gaining the attention of everyone around him. "Why is everyone looking at me?"

"We want to know when you found the time to meet someone?"

"Its nothing and besides it isn't like I know her that well, we are pen pals at most."

"Still pen pals that's closer than any of us would've guessed, so how do you know Rainbow Dash?" Spike enjoyed the change of atmosphere around the horned guard, a complete one-eighty to his usual stoic look, now one of concern as he looked between them for an escape from the sudden attention, even Twilight seemed genuinely curious as she stood in front of him blocking off the spot he had so vehemently eyed. "So how did you meet Rainbow dash?"

Crescent's eyes focused on the reptilian like kid in front of him, it would be easy to just ignore the question but he had already seen how dedicated the kid was to certain things he'd bring it up around him until he cracked so he'd resign to his fate for now. "Dash is the reason I have m-" His eyes could only keep up briefly with the speeding rainbow bullet that crashed into him, his body bouncing off the ground getting a groan of pain from him and a small laugh for the one on top of him.

Rainbow frowned as she crashed into another person perfecting her fantastic filly flash only for it to veer off course and harm an innocent by standard Her eyes settled downward recognizing the card cutie-mark she'd seen five years ago. "Crescent?"

"Yeah its me Rainbow now get off of me, I'm shocked that I'm still alive after that and I don't want to jinx it with you being on top of me. " Crescent paid it no mind as Rainbow huffed and reluctantly got off of him, each of his fellow companions holding back a small snicker seeing him sprawled out on the ground.

"Hehehe, now Crescent, who be t'is fair maiden tha's all o'er ya?" Crimson grinned as the strange girl stood over him, he already had a good guess of who she was already.

"Huh oh me I'm the fastest flier in all of Equestria, Rainbow Dash." The rainbow haired girl grinned as she made hand gestures when she said Equestria getting a grumble from her downed pen pal. "You should be grateful, you know not anyone is good friends with the best flier in Equestria."

"I feel thrilled now move out-of-the-way, the ground isn't as comfy as it looks." Crescent barked out the four backing away to give him the needed space to get up, his scarlet eyes falling onto his friend. Her hair was a vibrant multicolored mess that looked as untamable as the day he first saw years ago. Magenta eyes shined brightly to match the large grin on the pegasus's face. His eyes traced over the unzipped cyan jacket, a white t-shirt covered her modest b cups and the upper half of her athletic frame. Crescent eyes slowly combed over Rainbow's cyan wings they were sleek and graceful as the day he first saw them five years ago, but he was sure that if he bothered to ask his feather brained friend, he expected a reply of that how awesome her wings were. Short shorts littered the bottom half of her body, showing off the slightly tanned complexion and toned legs to go with the rest of her frame, as untied shoes hung from her feet a clear signal to the unicorn that she never bothered to walk unless absolutely necessary. "You have a job to do Dash, so clear the skies for our magnificent Princess."

"I'll get it done, just right after I'm done practicing." Her wings flapped once getting the crowd to slowly give her the space she needed to take off.

"Practice for what exactly?" Twilight's voice the only thing stopping the pegasus from taking off and leaving them in her dust at the current moment.

"The Wonderbolts! They are gonna perform at the celebration tomorrow, and I'm going to show them my stuff!" Rainbow outwardly made a fist pump at her boisterous claim, knowing this was her big chance to impress the famed fliers.

"The Wonderbolts?" Twilight's tone was one of disbelief as she stretched in front of her right.

"Yep, pretty cool right." Magenta eyes slowly falling on Crimson's wings, the bat-like quality was cool to look at but she wondered how well could he fly without any feathers.

"The most talented fliers in Equestria?"

"That's them."

"Pfft! Please. They'd never except a pegasus who couldn't keep the sky clear for one measly day." Her eyes slowly shifted to her longest friend, his eyes showing no sort of emotion at the not so subtle jab at his friend.

"Ten seconds."

"What are you going on about?"

"That's all I need to clear the skies." Her legs sprung forth with a speed none of them had seen before her body slamming into and destroying clouds left and right as her internal count halted as the last one dissipated with an ax-kick. Her wings slowly dropped her to the ground, the look on Twilight's face was all that she needed to know that she shut her up, but the other two looks of disbelief was an added bonus. "See ya around Cresc, stop bye if you wanna share a drink sometime." It only lasted a second, but she could see the faint smile on her friend's face, before she took off to practice more for the Wonderbolts.

One hundred and twenty seconds it took for Twilight to snap back into reality, her mind still trying to figure out the feat that just happened. "So, how'd you meet Rainbow Dash again Crescent?"

"I'll tell you later we defeat Nightmare moon Twilight." His tone was as monotonous as ever, but inwardly the horned guard couldn't have been happier as Rainbow just made it easier for him to talk with Twilight. "So what's next on the list Spike?"
