Chapter 13: Head in the Clouds

Previous Chapter Next Chapter

Dear Princess Celestia,

Normally I’d give you a quick recap on what’s been going on and what I’ve ‘learned’, but rather than repeat what you’ve probably already heard a dozen times now. I’m going to cut to the chase.

I need you advice on something.

A few days ago, Sonic and I went to a Wonderbolts show in Cloudsdale. Nothing out of the ordinary, just some of the high ranking members entertaining the crowd; not saying it wasn’t amazing, but Its getting really hard not to start gushing at the moment. So you’ll have to excuse me if I sound a bit short with you.

Anyway, as we’re leaving, I spot the Elite division of Wonderbolt fliers standing a few yards away sighing autographs, posing for pictures, you know the usual thing. I of course hold my composure and attempted to head back to Ponyville. However, Sonic has a different idea and casually walks up to and begins to chat with them like there old friends. And no, that’s not the weirdest part. (It’s gets a lot stranger) Spitfire, Soarin, and the others start crowding around him. Even Surprise seems to want to talk to Sonic. (Who now that I think about it; looks a lot like Pinkie Pie. I have to remember to ask her if she has a cousin or something) And to top things off Fleetfoot gives Sonic a big warm hug and nuzzles him like he’s one of her colt friend.

What the hay happened?

So anyway, it turns out that when Sonic saved everypony a while back from those timber wolves that the squirt and her friends led into town. Fleetfoot just happened to be at the local hospital recovering from a training accident that she was involved in just outside of town a few days ago. Why she wasn't sent to Cloudsale or more importantly why I didn’t know about her being in town; will forever be a mystery.

To make a long story short, helping a Wonderbolt (even if it’s indirectly); gets some mad respect from the other members. And since Fleetfoot is one of the Elite; Sonic probably could have become an honorary member if he had asked. But instead he just brushed it off and posed for a few pictures.

To say it was a foolish chose, is an understatement.

Anyway, we have a few laughs; I get to shakes hooves with some of the best fliers in Equestria and really kick it off. Plus, I get a pretty much guarantee that I’ll be chosen to attend the Wonderbolts training camp later this year.

How awesome is that?

If this had just ended there, I probably would have gone into some more detail. However, fate can be a real jerk sometimes.

Just as we’re getting reading to leave, the one pony I really didn’t feel like talking to shows up; Gilda. Now at first I just tryed to brush her off. Since I really don’t have any interest in talk to my former friend and flight buddy.

However, Sonic seems to think we want to make up. And to my utter surprise, Gilda agrees. She goes on to say that ever since that party we threw her a while back; that ended in tragedy btw. Has wanted to apologize and make amends. I’m all for this and we rekindle our friendship and agree to try again.

Ten brownie Points for you, Sonic.

Though, this wasn’t what I meant about ‘fate being a jerk.’

Just as we are having a moment, the three stooges (as Sonic so humorously put it) show up and demand that I race them for bragging rights on who the fastest flier is. I’m at first reluctant to agree, but I soon figured that they wouldn’t leave me alone unless I raced them.

So we line up and well race one another. I of course pull ahead and get an early lead. The slime ball that is known as Dumbbell; decides to play dirty and tries to force me to throw the race by knocking Sonic off the cloud he was standing on.
Though unbeknownst to him, Sonic wasn’t the only one rattling around in that noggin of his; let just say he was a roommate and leave it at that.

So, just as that piece of cow crap thinks he's won, by using one of the cheapest tricks in the book. Sonic ended up chasing after him and his dimwitted friends; while in the strange mode of his. If whatever was controlling Sonic wasn’t trying to kill those idiots, I probably would have sat back and laughed.

However, when it starts tearing building apart and starts using them as improvised hoof balls. Then I knew I had to take action. Yeah there jerks and probably deserve the beating that was coming to them, but not get killed over it.

Gilda seemed to share the sentiment and tries to stop him; even going hoof to hoof with the possessed Sonic. However, even the might of the griffins wasn’t enough to stop him and she too almost became that monsters prey.

Seeing the possibility of losing one of my newly renewed long time friendships; sent me over the edge. I honestly can’t recall what happened, but the first thing I recall is being held by Sonic and Gilda as we descended towards the ground.

As expected, we land and Sonic runs off; claiming that he was too dangerous. Gilda and I try to stop him, but we decide to give him some space. So we return to Cloudsdale and end up talking to a few of the royal guard. This is the time that Gilda decides to tell me that I too was possessed my that ‘thing’ that was controlling Sonic and almost killed him as a result.

Hearing this, I decided to go after him. Despite what previous thoughts on giving Sonic some space. And to my surprise, Gilda joins me.

We end up finding Sonic in Trottingham hanging out with Trixie at some fancy dinner on the edge of town. Apparently she was treating Sonic to lunch for something….I didn’t ask.

To put is simply, we all make up and head back to Ponyville. Where Gilda apologizes to everypony and proved that she just made a bad first impression.

Sounds like somepony else I know.

So what I need advice on is what should I do if that ‘thing’ takes control of me again? I don’t want to hurt anypony while I’m being used as some sick twisted puppet. I’ve made Sonic promise to take extreme measures if all else fails, but I don’t want to put that on some pony.

I’m at a loss here; I really don’t know what to do here.

*B:
Who are you and what have you done with my friend? You've told me that story at least twice since I’ve met you and not once did you act ‘that’ calm and humble or put any thought into something. It’s not wise to lie to a princess, Dash. Stunts like that will get you sent to the moon…or someplace equally as bad.

Author's Notes:

It's everyone's favorite cyan mare's turn once again to summit a letter. Who this time seems to have a bit of selective memory. Anyone that has read the chapter will get what i'm talking about.

Those that haven't will probably get a kick out of Rainbow Dashes false claims.
