Cloud Flicker tore through the skies, if he couldn't hide then he would just have to run. "Not the only one with epic flying skills, huh?" Thought Rainbow, who was already speeding after him. "I see him!" Rainbow yelled to the others. Cloud Flicker could already hear the others hoof steps below him, and he knew that he was being followed by Rainbow.

Cloud Flicker hit the brakes and darted the other way. Rainbow went right past him, and was taken by surprise. Now he was chasing her, and he easily caught up with her. Cloud Flicker ran her into the ground, "Stay away from me!" he said aggressively. Then he disappeared into the sky. "Rainbow!" It was Rarity. They all gathered around her. "You ok?" asked Applejack. "Yea, but I lost him." RD replied. "Shucks, we were so close." Applejack said. "Hey, Where's Fluttershy?" asked Pinkie. Everypony looked around. Fluttershy was nowhere to be seen.

Cloud Flicker landed back at his camp. "Finnaly." He thought to himself. "Um, h-hello." appeared Fluttershy. "Oh come on." Cloud Flicker said, already turning to run. "Wait!" Fluttershy said. "I mean, don't go. I just want to talk. I know you are still grieving about you parents, but I just can't stand by and watch a friend beat himself up over it." Fluttersy explained.
