A New Life in Ponyville

[Electrobolt 2,069]

Electrobolt couldn't help but chuckle when he saw Midnight's grin as he responded, "I can't think of anything right away... I thought you might have had an idea..." Looking around for now, he remembered his saddlebag, and his bits, were still in his room. "I'll be right back. You can sit down in the living room for now, alright?" With that, he gave Midnight another kiss as he began to walk upstairs into his bedroom.

[Prince Midnight 817]

midnight smiled and looked around, noticing the couches, then the fireplace with the pictures that lined the walls, he tilted his head and began looking each one over, smiling at all the fun times electro must have had over the years, and couldnt help but feel a slight pang of jealousy that he had such good parents.

"oh well." he smiled "we can have new adventures together."

[Strong Hooves 289]

Cloud nodded, "Yup, his family was the only griffin family around besides Riza's. Saw him at the flying track one day and challeneged him to a race. Ever since then our rivalry turned into friendship"

[Apollo 297]

Cloud nodded, "Yup, his family was the only griffin family around besides Riza's. Saw him at the flying track one day and challeneged him to a race. Ever since then our rivalry turned into friendship"

 

"I totaly won that race."

*Mercer said with a competitive grin.*

[Electrobolt 2,069]

It took him several minutes, but Electrobolt finally returned to the living room as he looked over to Midnight, seeing him looking at the picture frames above the fireplace. Holding in a chuckle, he asked, "Wanted to look around the room instead, huh?"

[Strong Hooves 289]

Cloud raised an eyebrow, returning the grin, "you little liar! I totally beat you! By a head as I recall!"

[Prince Midnight 817]

Midnight blushed "oh...yeah, i couldnt help it, you must have had some fun times huh?" he looked a little sad, but then brigghtened, "where was this taken?" he picked up a picture of electro and his parents in a forest of some kind.

[Apollo 297]

Cloud raised an eyebrow, returning the grin, "you little liar! I totally beat you! By a head as I recall!"

 

"No way, I won by a beak."

*Mercer grinned.*

"Ask anyone who was there, I was golden in that race."

[Strong Hooves 289]

"Ha! More like bronze! I know for a fact that I won!" he then got closer with a competitive look, "And I can do it again"

[Electrobolt 2,069]

Electrobolt took notice that Midnight was sad for a bit, but then shook it off when he asked him a question. "Oh, that?" he replied. "Believe it or not, that was taken around the Everfree Forest." He chuckled a bit as he began to recall memories of his trip into the forest. "My parents were pretty adventurous back then, and they took me along with them for that trip." Letting out a sigh, he said, smiling, "That day was fun..." Then he recalled the brief moment of sadness that Midnight had and asked, "Anyways, you mind telling me what's on your mind...?"

[Apollo 297]

"Ha! More like bronze! I know for a fact that I won!" he then got closer with a competitive look, "And I can do it again"

 

"Oh really?"

*Mercer got a crazy smile on.*

"Challenge accepted! First one to Everfree wins! Ready? GO!"

*Mercer dashed off into the sky at an incredible speed.*

[Prince Midnight 817]

midnight sighed, and gavea sad smile "its just ive never had adventures like that, i stayed in ponyville most my life, the weather patrol and the local bow compititions, i never traveled much."

he smiled then looked down "and even before i arrived here, i dont know what happened, or even if i HAD been anywhere else,"

he looked up and nuzzled electros neck "but with you, mabey we will have some adventures of our own....and hey, when my wings are fixed, i should take you flying....its so much fun."

[Strong Hooves 289]

Cloud said to Lovely, "One minute dear" then opened his wings and took off at blazing speed, easily catching up to Mercer and keeping up with every wingbeat.

[Apollo 297]

Cloud said to Lovely, "One minute dear" then opened his wings and took off at blazing speed, easily catching up to Mercer and keeping up with every wingbeat.

 

"Not bad!"

*Mercer shouted.*

"But not good enough!"

*Mercer sped up to a crazy speed. Flashing much faster forward than before.*

[Strong Hooves 289]

Cloud merely went "Hmph" and pumped his wings faster, catching up once again. Both he and Mercer were perfectly matched blurs as they sped to their destination.

[Apollo 297]

Cloud merely went "Hmph" and pumped his wings faster, catching up once again. Both he and Mercer were perfectly matched blurs as they sped to their destination.

 

"One last push!"

*Mercer re-angled his wings and slipped into an even faster speed and blasted oveethe tree barrier into Everfree.*

[Strong Hooves 289]

Cloud saw Mercer take one last push, and angled himself to a more aerodynamic form as he flapped his wings one last time. Both blurs reached the treeline at the exact same time. A perfect tie.

[Electrobolt 2,069]

When Midnight had told Electrobolt about his past, how he had never been on any adventures and that he couldn't even remember if he had even gone anywhere besides Ponyville, this caused Electrobolt to frown. But then, hearing Midnight say that they could possibly go on adventures, and that he'd take Electrobolt flying once his wings are healed, this turned the sad frown upside down. "I'm sure we will," he said, giving Midnight a nice, big hug. "And you'd take me flying...? I'd love to one day..." He then gave Midnight a passionate kiss.

[Apollo 297]

Cloud saw Mercer take one last push, and angled himself to a more aerodynamic form as he flapped his wings one last time. Both blurs reached the treeline at the exact same time. A perfect tie.

 

*Mercer easily stopped his forward motion. He turned to Cloud.*

"I totaly won that race!"

[Strong Hooves 289]

Cloud stopped and faced Mercer, "No you didn't that was totally me!" he retorted, a smile on his face.

[Apollo 297]

Cloud stopped and faced Mercer, "No you didn't that was totally me!" he retorted, a smile on his face.

 

"Youre blind."

*Mercer said with a grin.*

"I won that, no contest!"

[Strong Hooves 289]

"I see just fine! You're the one who clearly missed me crossing before you!!" Cloud said, then playfully tackled the griffon, laughing as h did so.

[Prince Midnight 817]

midnight was caught a little off guard by the kiss but didnt shy away from it and smiled, "i know twilight has a spell that can help you walk on clouds, you have got to feel how comfortable a cloud is," he smiled a little sheepishly, "b-but one step at a time huh?" burying his fce in electros neck he smiled "so, where did you want to go?"

[Apollo 297]

"I see just fine! You're the one who clearly missed me crossing before you!!" Cloud said, then playfully tackled the griffon, laughing as h did so.

 

*Mercer laughed and pushed Cloud off of him.*

"In a race we may be equal, but dont undereatimate the strength of a miner."

*Mercer stood up on his back legs and picked up Cloud.*

"Ya see?"

*He grinned a huge toothy grin.*

[Strong Hooves 289]

"Haha yeah but-" Cloud quickly spun out of Mercer's grip and put him into a half nelson, "Never underestimate the agility of an adventurer."
