Hey everypony me again just a notice i went back to the previous chapters and made some minor corrections that i missed. Also the tags for the stories changed a bit because im not sure yet were this story going to play out yet so expect changes for that. So anywho same old same old leave a comment and let me know what you think

‘mmmm I smell eggs’ I thought as I slowly started to open my eyes and stretch out a bit. ‘Well looks like I’m all better for the most part, but I still feel a bit sore though’ I thought as I swam to the top of the barrel. It looked too late to be morning so I think it was mid afternoon give our take. In the kitchen I could see Spike cooking some eggs and a sleepy Twilight barely able to hold her head up. I chuckled a bit at how cute she looked and was about to slither over there when a thought occurred ‘Wait why slither over there when I could fly.’ Stretching out my wings I gave them a couple of flaps and was satisfied when pain didn’t shoot thru my body. As I idly flew towards the kitchen Twilight seemed to take notice of me and started to watch me with great interest. ‘Might as well put on a show’ I thought and started to do some simple tricks like a loop de loop, sharp turns under the chairs, a downward spiral and a figure eight. Once I was done I landed on the kitchen table and bowed getting me a round of applause from the both of them.

“That was very well done Azul” Twilight said with a small smile.

“It was nothing really just some simple stuff” I replied matching her smile and continued “Now your friend Rainbowdash sounds like a real stunt pony worth watching”.

“I can’t wait till my wings grow in, then I’ll be able to fly all over the place” Spike said enthusiastically but quickly turned back around to continue making our omelets.

“Don’t worry kid they’ll come in eventually” I said with an understanding nod. “Also isn’t a bit too late for breakfast it’s about noon or so right?” I asked.

“Yeah but somepony wanted some omelets for lunch” he said while pointing his thumb towards Twilight, causing her to smile sheepishly.

“I fine with it don’t get me wrong” I said with a dismissive wave. “Also it’s not where you go, but who you’re going to take with you am I right lover boy?” I said holding back a grin.

Spike started to freak out and almost ruin our breakfast…lunch…whatever are meal, but after a couple of seconds he had regained control. “W-w-w-what are you talking about” he said a bit flustered.

“Oh don’t hide it kid I could tell you like Rarity a lot and I don’t mean to pry but I know a guy who could teach you some tricks to win her heart” I said.

“REALLY” he said with excitement while setting down breakfast in front of us.

“Yeah my friend is a lady-killer a true Casanova and can get any girl he wants to love him” I said in between bite of my meal.

“I don’t think I want somepony like him influencing Spike” Twilight said giving me a no way this is happening look.

“Oh come on Twi please” Spike said with puppy dog eyes and quivering his upper lip.

“If it helps you can tell my friend what he can and cannot teach him” I said taking a break from eating and drinking some water.

“Sorry Spike, but my decision is final” she said with an apologetic look and started to eat her meal.

Spike was quite upset with the decision and was pouting so I leaned over to him and whispered “Don’t worry he can persuaded Twilight to at least teach you something.”

“I don’t know Twilight can be pretty stubborn” he whispered back.

“Don’t worry I know for a fact that he’ll be able to convince her just trust me on this” I said with a light pat on the back.

“What are you two talking about?” she said looking at us suspiciously.

“Nothing~” we both replied.

Before she could protest a pink blur popped into the kitchen and dragged Twilight out while screaming “Pinkieeeee~” and then could no longer be heard.

“Pinkie?” I said with disbelief.

“Yup” he replied back.

I would have pressed him for answers, but remembering yesterdays encounter I simply decided to chalk it up as a Pinkie Pie thing. So we continued eating and made some small talk, asking him what it’s like knowing the Princess, what’s Canterlot/Ponyville like, things like that. After finishing and cleaning up breakfast/lunch, Spike went to work on his chores while I sat on the couch and watched him go about. This mostly consisted of sweeping, dusting, reorganizing and putting books back in their right places.

As he was shelving the last group of books away I asked “So why do you think Pinkie Pie took Twilight earlier?”

“She probably needed her help organizing the par…” he said before placed his hands in front of his mouth causing him not only to stop what he was about to say, but making him lose his balance and fall off the ladder.

“You ok?” I asked as I sat next to him.

“Yeah I’m good” he said while rubbing his head with one hand.

“Good now what were you going to say?” I asked staring at him.

“N-n-nothing at all” he said with a nervous laugh and started to head towards the door saying “Look at the time, but I got to go help Rarity with something.”

I stepped in front him and stared him down asking “Spike, what is Pinkie Pie going to do?”

“I-I-I don’t know honest” he said with a bad poker face.

“Spike I know you know what she’s going to do so just tell me” I asked keeping my voice neutral.

“I’m sorry Azul I really am, but I don’t know if I should tell you” he said nervously.

“Is that so” I said keeping a neutral appearance going.

“Well if you can just stay here and not leave I’ll be right back with Twi and…” he said before he was interrupted by my creepy smile. “Uh…you ok?” he asked as he slowly back away.

“Yeah every things good Spike but…” I said keeping my smile and summoned a water like snake behind me and continued “All I need you to do is tell me what’s going on.” As I slowly started to slither towards him he started to look around the room nervously and tried to make a break for it towards the kitchen. The snake however beat him to the kitchen door and wrapped around him and brought him back in front of me holding him in midair. At the snap of my fingers the creature instantly froze in place holding Spike in midair and I said “Spike…”

“What is it!? What do you want me to say?” he asked his eyes constantly moving around the room.

“Tell me everything you know” I said flatly keeping that same smile.

“ALRIGHT!  ALRIGHT! I’ll tell you everything just let me go and stop smiling like that” he pleaded with me.

“Fair enough” I said losing the smile. “But you have tell me what’s going on before I set you down and let you go” I replied, but little did I know I was going to regret this as Spike told me every misdeed he has ever done.

Hours later:

“…and there was this one time I took Applejack’s toothbrush and used it to clean the toi...” he was about to say before I interrupted him.

“For the love of God Spike please no more” I said. At first I thought it was funny and thought I could always black mail him later, but the past hours have been nonstop of all the little things he did/seen and most of them I didn’t even want to know. ‘Good god most of the things he listed off were about how mares were ‘showing off wrestling moves’ or ‘playing an elaborate game’. This poor kid is going to have so many awkward situations once he finds out all about that adult stuff’ I thought while rubbing my eyes with my fingers.

“What’s the matter I thought you wanted me to tell you everything I knew?” he asked a bit confused.

“Well yes and no. I wanted to know what Pinkie Pie was doing remember” I said.

“Oh that” he said with a sheepish smile. “Well she’s going to probably throw you a thank you/welcome party and trust me her parties are always a blast” he said with anticipation.

“A party really” I said while a faced palmed. ‘How could I forget? I mean honestly that’s her freakin special talent.’

“Yeah…why you don’t like parties?” he asked still confused.

“No I didn’t say that, but still this is not good” I said releasing him from his prison and now looking off in the distance.

“Why what’s wrong” he asked while stretching his limbs.

“Don’t you remember last night’s discussion? There could be Methana spies here in Equestria and if they know I’m here they’ll come here to get me” I said with concern.

“Why do you have to run? I mean everypony here will protect you from them and I could always send a letter to Celestia herself. They wouldn’t dare pick a fight with her” he said trying to comfort me.

“It’s not that simple Spike, but I do appreciate your concerns. The problem is that I don’t want ponies getting hurt trying to protect me and trust me these people are coldhearted when it comes to us Spirits” I said holding back my disgust at my last statement.

It was silent in the library for a bit Spike was trying to come up with something to say, but he would always shy away from saying anything. ‘What do I do? Do I risk the chance and go to the party or do I leave? The girls will be really upset with me, but I could always tell Spike to pass on a message or just write one up…Hold on a sec write one up…make one up…Yeah that could work, but I would still be putting the town in harm’s way however it’ll hopefully be temporary and then I’ll be gone before any soldiers come for me’ Going back and forth between my thoughts I decide that my plan was the best course of action I could take and said “Spike I need you to do something for me, but you can’t tell anypony about it. Got it?”

Spike jumped a bit at the sudden noise and asked “What do I have to do?”

“I need you go see how far along the party is from being set up and make sure you’re the one to come and bring me to the party alone” I said.

“A-alright I’ll be back in a bit” he said as he left.

Alone in the library now, I made my way towards Twilight’s desk and started to look for some supplies. A minute or two later I found everything I needed which were a bunch of scratch papers, envelops, quills and some ink. ‘Now then let’s see how my handwriting is.’

Hours later…again:

It was dark before I finished writing having to take a break and get some candles. Half an hour later I was finally finished writing two letters and I was just sealing them up.

That’s when Spike walked in and said flatly “The party ready though you owe me big time for this.”

“What do you mean I ‘owe’ you” I said with air quotations around the owe part.

“Hey man I had to do something I wish I’ll never have to do again, honestly I’m going to have nightmares for a week because of it” he replied back firmly.

“Yeah or I could always tell Twi about the ‘Bathroom’ incident” I said smugly.

His eyes shrunk to the size of a pea and said “You wouldn’t.”

“Oh want to bet?” I asked with a smug smile now.

“No, no, please I’ll do anything just don’t tell her” he pleaded on his knees holding his hand together.

“Don’t worry I won’t tell her” I said this got a relieved sigh out of him. “I’ll save that up, till I really need it” I said now laughing my ass off. Spike just looked at me grumpily and mumbled some stuff under his breath. Getting over my laugh I asked “So where’s the party at and what does the building look like?”

“It’s at the Sugarcube Corner. And why are you asking what it looks like I’m going to take you there” he said confused.

“Nope you’re going on ahead while I get myself…prepared” I said with a sly grin. Spike decided to drop it, especially after I threatened to tell Carrot Top about a missing hoe, and gave me directions on how to get there, what it looks like and then he left for the party.

“Now then (cracking my hands) it’s been a while, but I should still be able to do this” I said as I got next to the barrel of water.

Concentrating my magic the water started to glow a bright light blue and enveloped around my body and thenmy body began to change shape. Bones started to take shape while they snapped into place. A fur coat started to grow all over followed by a mane and tail. My face distorting back to my head and my teeth became more flat. The process took a gruesome five minutes and afterwards I had to lie down on my back just to catch my breath. Using my magic again I create a mirror above to get a better look at myself and was quite please with the results. I was a pegasus colt about seven or eight with a cyan blue coat with a short spike snow white mane and my eyes were a deep blue azul.

‘Not bad wish I was a stallion than a colt, but still pretty good job considering how long it’s been since I did this, but I feel like I’m forgetting something’ after much thought I simply wing shrugged. As I tried to make my way towards the desk my hooves got caught amongst one another and it sent me face first to the ground.

“Dump hooves” I said my voice now sounding like a child. ‘Well at least my voice isn’t squeaky that’s another plus.’ Couple of minutes later and I was able to walk around like a normal pony, grabbing a saddle bag and stuffing the letters in them I made my way towards the directions of where Sugarcube Corner should be. The town looked completely deserted, all the lights were off and the only company I had were the wind, moon and stars. ‘Wow Pinkie Pie must throw pretty damn good parties if there’s no pony around at all and wow is this the place…I feel like if I keep staring at it I’m going to get fat’ I thought as I reached the front door.

I could hear murmurs and whisper before everything became suddenly quieted. ‘Well here goes nothing’ I walked into the room only to be greeted by darkness, I couldn’t make out a thing.

Then the room filled with light and a crowd of ponies appeared and screamed “SURPRISE!”

In the distance I could see a banner above the room that said, ‘Welcome/Thank you to Ponyville Azul.’ All the ponies in the room stopped cheering and had confused looks on their faces.

“Who’s that?” one pony asked.

“I’ve never seen him before.” Another pony said.

I was about to say something before I was tackled by a pink blur. “OHMYGOSH, ANOTHERNEWPONY! HIMYNAMEISPINKIEPIE! WHOAREYOU? OHWAITILLBERIGHTBACK” Pinkie Pie said before she sped off to a backroom.

When I got back up I notice she was coming for me again, I started to try and run for it, but was instead pulled away in a light blue aura away from the pink pony. “Pinkie Pie darling, you have to calm down you’re scaring the poor boy” Rarity said as she sat me down next to her. “Please excuse my friend’s behavior she tends to get…excited when a new pony comes to town” she said apologetically.

“No it’s alright he did warn me to watch out for her” I said.

“Who warned you about what?” Twilight asked.

“Azul did, he warned me to watch out for a pink pony with balloons for a cutie mark something about a ‘hyperactive’ child or something” I said trying to play innocent.

“Oh did you meet him on your way here? Is he going to be here soon?” she asked looking outside.

“I’m afraid not he told me to give a Miss Twilight Sparkle this letter” I said as I reached in my saddle bag for the letter and held it up in front of me.

“That’s me” she said and used her magic to grab the letter. She opened the letter and began to read it out loud.

Dear Ponyville residents,

I am sorry to say that something came up and it needed my immediate attention. I noticed this child walking into town and asked him to deliver this letter since he’s new in town and is going to probably be staying for a while. I suggest Pinkie Pie should change the party to a welcome party for the kid. I’ll return as soon as possible, but I’m not sure how long it will take. Until then stay safe and hope to see everypony soon.

From, Azul

Everypony seem to be sad that ‘Azul’ couldn’t make it to the party, but Pinkie was the one to get everypony out of it. “Why’s everypony so sad? He said he’ll be back someday we’ll just have to throw him a Welcome/thank you/welcome back again party. Besides everypony we have a new pony in town” she said while hopping up in down. “Oh oh what’s your name little guy?”

“My name is Raindrop” I said with a smile.

“Don’t move” she said while she ran off to the back room again.

“Um excuse me if you don’t mind me asking, but where are your parents?” Fluttershy asked this got a couple of murmurs of agreement.

“My parents aren’t here with me, they sent me off by myself to go live with my cousin or aunt and uncle” I answered.

“Excuse me dear not to be rude, but aren’t you a little young to be traveling on your own?” Rarity asked with concern.

“Here in Equestria yeah, but in Methana no” I replied back nonchalantly.

“Wait you traveled all the way from Methana to Ponyville by yourself?” somepony asked.

“Well I did take a train from the border of Methana to a small town a bit north of Ponyville, but for the most part I was alone” I said.

“So that means ya’ll got some kin nearby or are ya’ll still heading there?” Applejack asked.

“Actually she lives here in Ponyville” I said getting more murmurs from the crowd. “Her name is Rainbowdash” I said. The crowd gasped and looked at Rainbowdash and back at me some saying they could see the resemblance.

“HOLD ON A SECOND” Rainbowdash yelled and flew right in front of me inches from my face. “I don’t have family in Methana, you little liar” she said.

“Here” I said holding the letter in front of her; she quickly snatched it and read it out loud.

Dear Rainbowdash,

You probably don’t remember me since you were just a little filly when I left, but I’m your mother’s sister. Anyways there have been more problems here in Methana that it has become too dangerous to keep Raindrop with us. We have heard from your mother and father that you were the closest family member and we were hoping you could keep an eye on him until your parents would pick him up or let him stay with you. We’re sorry that we must ask this of you, but it will only be temporary and we have plans to move to Equestria once we have enough bits.

Love, Aunt Lily

“Does that name ring a bell sugarcube?” Applejack asked looking at Dash with concern.

“Well I can’t say I don’t remember her name, but it doesn’t sound familiar either” she said while scratching her chin with a hoof trying to remember.

“If you want cous…I mean Miss Dash, you could always point me where aunt and uncle live and I’ll just walk there” I said acting rejected and started walking towards the door.

Before I could reach the door my body was surrounded by a purple glow and Twilight sat me down in front of the crowd of ponies. “Don’t worry Raindrop and I’m sure Rainbowdash won’t mind taking care of you for a bit. Right Dash?” Twilight said and started at her friend.

“Uh yeah of course no problem at all, just how long will you be staying?” she asked but got a bunch of glares from

everypony.

“No no it’s a reasonable question” I said waving my hoof dismissively and continued “I imagine it will be like three or four days maybe a week for your parents to come and get me.” She didn’t seem thrilled, but wasn’t moping either so she took it pretty well I imagine.

“Well since that’s taken care of shall we pa…” before I could say anything Pinkie Pie popped out of no were and screamed “Let’s get this party started everypony.”
