Hey guys :D

Sorry! I know I haven't updated in a while, cause I've just got on to a holiday (finally!)

Anyway, I just wanna say thanks to my first follower Octy, cause its really nice to see people are reading my stuff, so thanks ;)

Anyways, enjoy :D

It had taken roughly over an hour to reach Cloudsdale, and Clover was nervously tapping her hoof against the chariot. The sky was clear, hardly a breeze at all in the skies near to the city, however that was not what Clover was worried about.

She pulled open her saddle bags, looking at the empty space, where soon a coat would be. The very coat she was wearing.

She mused over the ideas of keeping her coat on during the flight, but considering that was not what the Princess had requested, she decided against it. She had also thought of wearing a hat to hide her horn, but she doubted that the Princess would be pleased with exploiting loopholes.

She sighed, sitting down in the carriage.

"I could just fly away as soon as I land," She thought optimistically, before pushing the idea aside. However the thought kept creeping back up at her, before forming into a fully fledged plan. She would step out of the carriage, and walk calmly to the nearest building, keeping her head down-

The city of Cloudsdale came into view, the throng of ponies bustling through the skies and streets visible from the chariot. Any hopes of her not being seen were quickly dashed. Clover groaned, and tried to think of a way out, but none came. The best she could think of was to keep her coat on.

"I'm sure Princess Twilight won't mind if you keep it on for a day or too, just so you get used to it," A voice in the back of her head said, in a supportive tone.

Clover couldn't help but totally agree with this, and settled down to view the bustling metropolis. She noticed that on the North side of the city, the streets were smaller and compact than the open ones to the South. There were ponies of all ages, genders, and most were pegasi, however she did spot a few unicorns, their horns glowing with the magic that kept them stable on the clouds.

She did her best to keep calm, and not start to hyperventilate and die on the spot, whilst the coach started a steady descent onto the clouds below, and one of the chariot pullers detached, allowing the others to land the chariot. Her glided over handing her a crisp rolled up document, and said officially,

"A map to your home your highness," He lowered his head with respect, leaving Clover spluttering in the carriage, trying desperately to explain that she wasn't a princess, but stopped.

She was an alicorn. Alicorns were Princess's right? Was she a Princess, or not? She pondered these questions, as the chariot bounced slowly to a holt on the clouds. She unrolled the map, and found not only directions to her new dwelling, but a small note from the Princess. It read,

Dearest Clover,

I understand that you will be nervous, but I assure you with whole- hearted belief that you shall do fine. Clover, you must understand you face a challenge harder than most. Princess's are admired, and respected, but people often are not honest with you. You must be careful to whom you put your faith in. Good Luck my student,

Faithfully,

Princess Twilight Sparkle.

She quickly scanned the letter, and rolled it up with her magic, the note only raised more questioned than it answered, did people only consider her princess, or was she a Princess that no one acknowledged?

She sighed and stepped of the chariot, looking at the few ponies that gave her curious looks. She pulled her mane slightly over her face, and thanked the ponies that pulled her carriage. Just as about she was about to leave a guard tapped her on the shoulder with his hoof.

"Your highness, I've been instructed to bring your coat back with us to the Princess," He said in low tones. Clover stared for a moment, realising the slyness of the Princess, but in the end she slipped of the garment handing it quickly to the guard, thanking him with a rushed voice. He bowed and flew off with the rest of the chariot ponies.

She gulped, as the curious looks turned into awful stares. Before she could run or hide, she heard a voice pique up behind her,

"Clover, is that you?" She twirled around quickly, her long mane flapping wildly to show her her brother, Ferris, standing with perplexed look on his face.

His look of purplextion turned to horror as he noticed her without a coat, and brought her away from the slowly forming crowd.

"Clover, where id your coat!" he hissed, glancing at the curious ponies

Clover was quickly becoming more and more worked up.

"The guards took it, the Princess wants people to know what I am!" She said in a panicked squeak.

Ferris paused.

"Do you know where you're staying?" He said seriously.

"Yes, yes I have a map," said dismissively, watching as Ferris almost ran into a mare coming towards them. He grabbed her saddle bags from where they were deposited, and placed them onto Clovers back.

He looked at her, and said quickly,

"Clover, go to your house, I've got to go back to work, try and stay out of sight ok?" He sighed and added in a slightly happier voice, "but it's good to see you Clover," He smiled and hugged her before pushing her towards the skies to which her house lay at.

"Good luck!" He shouted as she took off from the clouds leaving him on the clouds.

She shook her mane in the winds, feeling slightly unnerved. It had been a while since she had been flying, let alone on her own. She unrolled the map with her magic and studied the directions, until she was being directed to a lavish estate, with tall cloud mansions, and carriages.

She landed on the clouds with a light "Flump" and looked at the address.

18 Various Avenues

Cloudsdale

Equestria

It read, and as Clover looked at the addresses she found a huge mansion at the top of the state, with low walls, and rainbow ponds. Clover gawked.

It was smaller than the castle at Canterlot, but knowing that she had full roam of that place made her head spin.

She quickly trotted over to the gates, where a grey guards pony stood. She studied the pony. His mane was a lighter shade of grey to the stallions coat, but judging by the way he was quaking, she reckoned this was the first time he was going to be guarding someone, hat he assumed was important.

She approached, her head swivling, taking in the massive building, drinking in the sight before stopping before the pony. He straightened up, before saying with a slight quiver in his voice,

"Greetings your highness," He didn't meet her eyes, and she smiled and said warmly to the guard, waving a hoof with new found confidence,

"Oh, don't call me that, just call me Clover," She said smiling, but inside she was unsure of being titled as a Princess.

"Yes your magi- I mean Clover." He said sweating, eyes darting round nervously.

She stood there slightly awkwardly as he opened the gates to the manor, and shut the behind her. She spotted to more guards at the door, and realising she did not want the same awkwardness of before, just smiled and accepted there muttered greetings. She pushed open the door cautiously and trotted slowly inside. The floor was fluffy with clouds, leaving Clover bouncing with every step.

She did a quick sweep of the rooms. She counted 5 bathrooms, 8 bedrooms, all ensuites, 2 kitchens, a conservatory, a living room, a grand garden, and to Clovers joy, a large library.

After the tour of the house she finally sat down in one of the plush chairs in the sitting rooms, taking in the sounds and sights of the lavish interior, until she noticed another scroll on the table. She grumbled, remembering the unanswered questions the last ones gave, but opened it none the less.

It was from the Princess, and read

Dearest Clover,

I hope you find your accommodation satisfactory, and hope you are well. I have arranged for you to be beginning tutoring at a school in Cloudsdale with ponies your own age. Please read the details enclosed, and I hope you are adapting well to life in Cloudsdale.

Faithfully,

Princess Twilight Sparkle.

Clover Gawped for the second time that day.
