"Cloud!" called Twilight. "Where could he be?" She said, a bit annoyed. "Cloud!" She yelled.

"What?" He answered from the tree above.

"There you are! I have been looking for you everywhere!" Twilight exclaimed.

"Yea, I know," Cloud said. "What for?"

"I got this - wait, you knew I was looking for you?" She asked.

"Yep." He answered.

"Oh. Anyway, I got this message from Princess Celestia. She needs me to go and investigate something." Twilight explained.

"Investigate what?" Cloud asked, not really caring.

"She doesn't know. Somebody broke into the castle only to leave her a location. She wants me and the others to go there and report back our findings. But It's very far, the trip would take days. So I came here to ask you if you could help us get there. Please, we couldn't get there without some help." She told him.

Cloud Flicker looked at her for a long moment, then said with a sigh : "Alright, fine. I'll go. It will give me a chance to explore new places anyway."

Twilight, surprised at his answer cheered in excitement. "Thanks, I'll go and get the others." she happily said. "Meet us at the library when you are ready."

"Wait, are you planning to leave today?" asked Cloud.

"Yes, why?" She replied.

"We will need more time to prepare for the journey. Find the others. I'll meet you at the library, so we can plan for the trip." He instructed.

"Ok, but we must leave as soon as possible." She said.

"Understood." Cloud nodded.
