Clover gritted her teeth as her alarm went off for the 20th time. She covered her head with her pillow, and hit the snooze button again. Another scroll bumped her back, joining the small pile of unread scrolls.

The phone downstairs had been ringing since 9:30, and Clover could hear a thumping on her front door as somepony tried to convince her to leave her room.

Clover had made a decision. She was not going to be ordered around like some little filly, and she was not going to school. She would be leaving as soon as the spell on her door broke. And when she could be bothered to get up.

Clover groaned as the alarm went off again, and a bang of the front door echoed around the house. She sat up turning of the evil device and doubled the seal on her room. She could hear hooves scrambling up the cloud steps as she grabbed her saddle bags and shoved everything into them, including the scrolls that she had been given, just to be sure she didn't miss anything.

She heard a bang on her door, and opened the window. Clover had put a force field around the window to prevent any unwanted guests. Surely enough, a group of guards was floating outside of her window, blocked by the bubble of magic.

On sight of Clover the guards shouted down to the ponies on the ground as Clover took off, the bubble surrounding her.

She had no idea where she was going, but she had plenty of bits, and could easily make some shelter. Clover considered all of the options, and remembered the castle of the two sisters, right outside of ponyville.

Clover could hear muffled shouting behind her of the guards, and she could pick out the voice of her brother franticly trying to convince her back.

Clover gave out a slight 'erk', as her bubble was pushed slightly by a guard behind her. She grunted as a hoof slid through the field, and decided that she wouldn't be able to lose them on wing. She suddenly remembered a cloud Fellfall had shown her on her tour of the school, high up and away from anypony.

Imagining the plush cloud she saw its edges and curves and imagined herself there, and ignited her horn. Suddenly she was stood on a cloud alone listening to the gentle breeze around her. Tired from teleporting from such a large distance, Clover lay down and moulded the cloud so she was in a small hollow inside protecting her from the wind.

She had at least two hours before they would find her here. She could be in all of Equestria for all they know. Clovers eyes fluttered shut as she listened to the whistling around her.

Fellfall rounded the school again. When Clovers brother came to him franticly this morning that Clover had locked herself in her room, and then teleported away Fellfall had whole heartily agreed to help.

As he flew up into the sky for the 5th time, he spotted the cloud he had shown Clover deciding to take a small rest before looking again. As he reached the cloud he noticed how it sagged slightly underneath, and the sides curled around a pony sized object.

When he floated above it he could only see white, until he noticed a curl of green like in Clovers mane. He gasped as the form shifted, shivering.

It was freezing up in this height, and Luna knows how long she had been up here! It appeared by her bulging saddle bags that she had grabbed everything she had and tried to make a dash for it. Fellfall picked out a scroll with a broken seal, obviously read by Clover.

He cringed at what it read. Fellfall tucked the scroll back into her pack, as Clover began to stir.

Clover gave a small squeak as she awoke, and tried to get up, struggling against him. She eventually sighed saying

"I'm not going back Fellfall," she said determinedly

Fellfall thought for a moment before sitting next to her. He didn't like what Clover was thinking of doing. He also didn't like the position she was put in.

After a while, he said

"Aren't you cold? It's freezing up here you know," He said pointing to her bags that had gained a slight brittleness to them.

She shook her head and pulled out her coat. From the stories he had told her, that coat had caused years of misery.

Fellfall grabbed it, and threw it down onto the school roof below.

"You must be sick of it, knowing you're different, knowing whatever you do you can never change what you are? I know the feeling," He said sadly

He lifted up his mane to show her that underneath was streaks to rainbows, under the dusk coloured locks on his brow.

"I'm the great great grandchild of Rainbow Dash. The only descendent actually. My parents were the best flyers in Cloudsdale, as were there's. They expect me to be the fastest, strongest pony, to be on all the sports teams, but I can only fly fast. That's it. No football, or frisbee, or throw ball, and if I can't do that, I'm a failure to them." He said angrily, kicking a cloud that drifted past

They sat there in silence before Clover said

"I don't want to go back Fellfall. I'm tired of it all, and I'm not going back," She said determinedly

"Clover, you can't just leave your famil-," He said before Clover interrupted

"No! I'm not going back to being a big secret, I'm not going to have guards around me everywhere I go, and I don't want to my door kicked in if I don't get up for school on time!" She shouted

"Well don't then." Fellfall said honestly

This is when Clover looked like she was about to have a break down. She was shaking violently, half shivering, and half crying. Fellfall wasn't too sure what he had said, but he put a hoof slowly around her in a hug.

Clover let out a choked sob, her voice cracking

"I can't though Fellfall! *sniff* I can never do it, because the princess won't let me! My brother won't let me, and even you have been sent to hide me," She snivelled

Fellfall laughed

"I just through your coat down there, where it can stay for all I care, and you really believe I'm going to stop you?" He chuckled

Clover sniffed again, and shook her head

"Why did you come to find me? I could have just been sick you know," Clover said anxiously

"Your brother came and got me, why?" He said honestly

"Well, I got a scroll saying tha-,"

"That I was a 'rough colt'" He laughed

"Yeah, so why would my brother of all people ask you to come help, no offense," She said frankly "he must have gotton a note too," Clover sniffed

"Well he said that he felt that since you trusted me, and I hadn't sold you out to the paparazzi, that he could rely on me," He said smiling, pulling her slightly closer

"Seems like him, but it took him long enough though," Clover chuckled slightly

"Ok then, now that has been settled, shall we get down from here?" Fellfall was becoming more and more aware of how close Cover was right now, and was beginning to feel slightly uncomfortable.

"I can't go home." She said quietly

"Well, were do you want to go then?" Fellfall said quickly, not wanting for her to cry again.

"I don't know, can we fly? I want to fly," She said cheering up slightly

"Ok then, we will go and fly," Fellfall said standing up slowly, pulling Clover up steadily

They took off, and Fellfall pondered what to do. For a while he watched Clover twirl in and out of the cloud, she looked so free.

"You know, she kinda pretty," His mind said, before Fellfall shook his head.

"Not now Fellfall," he muttered

She couldn't go back to school right now, and her house was out of the question. There were two options. One, fly away and never deal with the issue, or... His house...and his family...oh no.

What can I say, I'm fluffy on the inside XD

So, don't forget to R&R my lovelies :)
