Cloud Flicker figured it was best just to leave for a bit, he couldn't handle the pain. He needed to what he does best, be alone. So he thought about his life, remembering his favorite moments with his parents. One of them was probably his fifteenth birthday, cause he got most of his survival gear.

"What do you mean he left?" Fluttershy asked Applejack. "I mean he just packed up and left. Headed for the EverFree forest." she said. "Poor stallion, he must feel terrible." said Rarity. "Yea," Fluttershy said, thinking about something. "I don't think he has intentions of coming back," said Applejack. "The tone in his voice kinda told me that. And I don't think he is going to stop at the EverFree forest." she finished. "We should go and remind him where he really belongs," said Twilight. "Ponyvill just won't be the same without him." she said. "Umm, no, I think we should leave him alone." said Fluttershy. "It's settled then, we go and find him tonight." said Twilight Sparkle.

Cloud Flicker was nearing Zecoura's hut, but turned the other way to avoid being seen in any way. "Cloud!" Twilight yelled. Cloud Flicker froze. He ran, then flew up into a tree and hid. "Phew.." Cloud Flicker said. "Cloud!" that was Rainbow! he knew they had come looking for him. "Come on, can't I just be alone?" he whispered to himself. He dropped out of the tree, and ran. Twilight saw him. "Cloud!" she yelled. "Leave me alone!" He yelled back, disappearing into the forest. "I thought I heard him." Applejack said. "Yea. but he disappeared." Twilight replied. "Lets go this way. Thats where I saw him go." said Twilight. Everypony followed Twilight, except rainbow, who was watching the skies. Little did Cloud Flicker know, Rarity followed them at a different pace, so when he jumped from his hiding place, she alerted the others. "Just get away from me!" Cloud Flicker yelled. He jumped up and took to the sky, keeping in mind that Rainbow was going to see him. "Cloud! Just wait a sec!" she yelled. "NO!" he yelled, angry. So began the game of chicken, a game where two ponies run, or fly, straight at each other. Whoever bails first looses. Cloud Flicker has never lost, and he easily won this one. "You're not the only one with the best flying skills in Ponyville!" Cloud Flicker yelled as he darted away from her.
