Stardust*

Yeah. It will be pretty much on hold until others can catch up. I feel bad.

Yeah, I agree with everyone so far who has said that beer is the worst. I also dislike Mt. Dew. it's like drinking pee. gross.

Trying to keep things going and not have it seem rushed. I know we want to get the group together again. And the big thing keeping the larger group stuck was the lack of element. Since that has been found we can start to move forward on the griffin stone island side. Just need to have the baltamare side ready as well. What were we all thinking of a meeting place? Back at Griffin stone? Or should the large group make it back to the main land? I was leaning more toward the big group head over to baltamare. That will give Trivy and Jay time to interact with AJ and head to the camp. We can have Star, Aria, Lilith, Psych (and the others?) meet Harcourt and Winter as they are traveling to the camp with the other two. Maybe have Psych get a read from Winter or Harcourt as they are thinking about him or something. And then we find them and AJ takes Jay and Trivy to the camp and there is a massively emotional reunion?

@@Fender, She smiled. "True, things seemed to play out pretty well." The songs continued to play until her iPon went dead. "Well... that's what I get for not charging it last night." She sat up and started to put it away. "Hmm.. the stars are really beginning to shine now, all the lights in the shops and homes are out." She looked to her left, "Oh, wow, look at the moon." Her eyes grew large as she gazed upon it.

@@Fender, "No, really? You did. Oh man. My mom always wanted me to go to flight camp. She would sign me up every year and I would get accepted but I would never show up. My dad would tell them to excuse me due to other activities and my mom would never be the wiser." She thought for a second. "You know, if I had gone, maybe I would have met you sooner." she said.

I feel like I want to just bury myself in a hole.

@@Fender, "Oh, oh. Well thank you." She chuckled. "Don't let me keep you up too late, I probably won't be able to make it all night but this is my normal time to be up. I don't want you to fall asleep on your roof and accidentally fall off." "Tell me something about you. Anything, no favorites, but just anything." she said.

@@Fender, "Indeed." She replied. As the song came to an end she sighed. "Even my iPon wants me to 'Say' what I need to say." She rolled her eyes at the darn device. "Soon." She let the music play and she unknowingly made herself a bit more comfortable and nuzzled onto Skyjumper's chest.

@@Fender, She sat there for a second, then she started to laugh. "I'm glad we are friends. I could do this every day if we had the chance. I like you Sky, you are special you know. Much more than you give yourself credit." She lost her sense of embarrassment and pretty much gave up trying to act normal. He knew who she was and he accepted her. She laid her head on his shoulder. Yeah, this... I like this. She thought. "Here, take this." She handed him one of the ear buds of her headphones. "I grabbed my iPon on the way out when I shut off the stereo, music is always good, no matter where you are or what your doing." She flipped it on and put the other ear bud in her ear. Say - started to play.

@@Fender, She felt a bit more at ease. "Thank you. ... Now, look over here you can see the winged horse constellation. And just there, that is Orion. Then, Oh!, down over there it is the perfect time of year to see the Phoenix constellation." She was getting a bit more excited, she was not in her element. Unconsciously she kept getting closer and closer to him and eventually they were shoulder to shoulder. She didn't seem to notice at all, she was so busy explaining the stars and their stories. "You know what my greatest wish is? I want to have my very own star. I want to be able to find just one star, one brand new star in the sky that no pony else has found, and that... that will be my star. And I will get to name it. That is my greatest wish." She took a deep breath and longingly let it out slowly. She began to shiver a bit, and she pulled the blanket just a little bit tighter around her.

@@Fender, She looked away a bit. "I don't want you to think less of me, or think that I'm weird. I'm just so used to just watching the town and spending time alone. I never really thought we would meet, let alone spend an entire day together. And I don't want to ruin this friendship. I ... I just.. can I tell you later?" She asked. The sun made it's final wave before the darkness took over. "We have stars to look at." She timed that right.

@@Fender, "Uhm." She started thinking about everything. I can't tell him that I've had a crush on him. Seriously... that would just be like the school yard again. Just say you are clumsy and that your lack of interaction with other ponies has make you a bit rusty in conversation and such. "I tend to be just a bit clumsy and since I don't spend a lot of time around other ponies, I'm a bit rusty in conversation and such." She smiled nervously. Please don't see past my fib. she thought. "What about you, what do you think has been going on today?" She asked, trying to take the spot light off of her.

@@Fender, "ooh, It's okay. Really.. It's... okay." She said. She noticed that he had folded his hooves and could tell he was a bit cold. She started to reach over him to grab the other corner of the blanket to cover him. As she was doing so she slipped a bit as the shingles on the roof moved a bit. She gently ended up falling a bit on top of him. "Oh, pardon me, I'm sorry." She was only inches from his muzzle as she turned to look at him. Her heart began to race, she was almost frozen and then she desperately grabbed the corner of the blanket and pulled it over his body. "I noticed you seemed a bit chilly. So... uhm.. yeah." She bit her bottom lip a bit.

@@Fender, "This will do nicely." She made her way over to sit next to him. She gently pulled one corner and wrapped it around her shoulders. She was much more comfortable out in the open under the sky. As the sun inched its way down the horizon. She took a deep calming breath, Perfect, absolutely perfect. She thought. "You know, this.... this is nice. This is truly nice. Thank you Sky, thank you for taking the time out of your day to check on me. If you hadn't, we wouldn't be here right now." She looked into his eyes, and she just got lost in them. Like she did while looking at the clouds. This has never happened before. I want to fight this feeling, but ... She looked back towards the sunset. "Just wait until it goes down, then the real magic will begin." She smiled and laid back, perching herself just so that she was in the perfect angle to see the colors of the sun begin to extend high into the sky.

@@Drago Ryder,@@Acnologia, "It's nice to meet you Blitz. Sorry for interrupting you though." Aileana gave him a small smile. "We were going to start heading to the dining hall if you would like to join us, I know it will be a bit before anything is served, but not really a whole lot to do otherwise." Abner nodded, he gently descended and landed on the cool moist grass on the opposite side of the stables. He made his way to the edge of the mountain. This was his normal spot, he would spend hours here just watching the world pass by.

@@Fender, She smiled as she listened to him. She was watching the clouds as they passed by. The breeze started to pick up and it sent a shiver down her spine. "Maybe a blanket would be, that would be more than enough in return. It is going to be a bit colder once the sun goes down." Her eyes were still on the sky, she would get lost in the sky at times. "My entire world is in that sky." She said, not particularity to anypony, but just stating it out loud. The sun was getting very low on the horizon.

@@Fender, She very much enjoyed the flight and she was able to watch Skyjumper in his element. So graceful and serene, she could see each muscle in his back flex as his wings carried his body. When they landed on the roof she was awoken from her day dream and she took in the scenery and his home. "It is very beautiful here. Thank you for bringing me." She looked to the trees that he pointed out, he was right, they were just high enough and just bushy enough to be the perfect resting place to watch the sunset. She noticed that he looked very thoughtful, and was curious. "What's on your mind?"

@@Fender, After wiping her muzzle she was ready to go! She giggled softly at his comment. "I'm glad you enjoyed the meal, it was nice to have company." She made her way to the stairs and on the way she made sure to turn off the stereo. She unlatched the door and opened it up, stepping out she waited for Skyjumper, she would lock the door once he was out and then she would be more than ready to go for a nice long fly. She had been so cooped up the past few weeks that she didn't get to feel the wind through her mane.

@@Fender, Her heart raced for a moment as their bodies bumped into each other as he came to the sink. "Oh, okay, thank you. I ... uhm. I will get dessert ready then." She had a soft smile on her muzzle and almost a twinkle in her eye as the sunlight caught them just right. She made her way to her saddle bag where she had wrapped the fritters from earlier. She brought them back to the table and quickly grabbed two smaller plates. She plucked the ice cream from her freezer and two spoons, she used her spoon to dish up the ice cream on each plate she placed the fritters just so. "Ready when you are Sky." She smiled at her creation on the plate.

@, "I believe so, but to be sure, can you pick this lock? I'm more than 95% positive this is it, but until we have it in hoof we can't be 100% sure." She started to walk toward the little turn out that the others were still at. She placed the box on the ground and dug through her saddle bag, she pulled out a small pouch, then put all of her digging tools back away. She handed over the pouch, her own set of lock picks, she figured Lilith would have her own but the pride nearly made it impossible for Lilith to even attempt to reach for her own. "Okay, I could do it, but my heart is still pounding, and my hooves are still shaking. I know you can do a much better job than I can, and this is important. You got this." Almost like she had to talk herself into the idea before allowing Lilith access to the box.

@@Fender, "I'm glad you enjoyed it. Like I said earlier, this is one of my favorite meals. It takes some time, but very much worth it!" She dabbed her lips with a napkin before taking her last few bites. She stood to clear the table, she figured she should wash the dishes at this point since everything else had been cleared from the sink, she didn't want to start a new pile. "Soon as I finish with the dishes I will serve dessert, I hope you're not too full." She began putting hot water in the sink and added a bit of soap.

@@Summer Breeze, Lol, we can always do a jump back in time or time skip as well. I figured anyone would be able to do that. Like for instance since Sleepy Hallow fell asleep, Raze and her pretty much did a time skip to the point of where she woke up.
