Skyview laid on a warm bed under a green blanket. The room
was dark and quiet making it easy for Skyview to sleep. He breathed
softly with his feet stretched out and his head resting on his
pillow. Suddenly he heard a loud noise coming from outside. He
opened his eyes and yawned. He turned over and saw his golden
collar still sitting on a night stand next to him. He climbed
out of bed and walked to the dresser by the door. He took a brush
and began brushing his hair. When he was done, he sat the brush
down and left the room. He walked downstairs and saw Rosebud
taking Luna's plate to the kitchen.
Skyview walked to the livingroom and then looked out the window
just in time to catch Luna in her earth form running out of the
yard.
"Morning!" Little Flitter cried happily as she flew
into the livingroom from the kitchen.
Skyview rubbed his ears, "Do not yell. I can hear you perfectly!"
"Sorry," Little Flitter replied.
"Where is Luna going?" Skyview asked.
"To a place called...school. Oh, did you know she can change
her looks?" Little Flitter asked.
"Yes I did. I thought I told you she often looks like an
earth pony," Skyview told her.
"Oh, well you didn't say she could change like that,"
Little Flitter exclaimed.
Rosebud walked into the living room laughing, "She still
can't get over it I see. Skyview, I'm sure you were as amazed
as she was when you first saw Lunarstar change."
Skyview smiled, "Yes I was. I almost forgot about that."
"Can she change to anything?" Little Flitter asked.
"Only living things that she has seen," Rosebud replied,
"Skyview, your probably hungry. If you sit in the dinning
room I'll bring your breakfast right out to you."
Skyview walked to the dinning room and sat at the table while
Little Flitter followed Rosebud around the kitchen curiously
watching her.
After a few minutes Rosebud walked out of the kitchen with
a plate of pancakes, "I hope you like pancakes. It's all
I had time to make this morning."
"That's fine," Skyview replied.
As soon as she sat the plate down Skyview began eating.
"Where is school?" Skyview asked as she walked into
the kitchen.
"You know where the park is?" Rosebud asked, "Well,
follow it and it'll eventually lead you to the school."
"The School is in the park?" Skyview asked surprisingly.
"No, it just runs into the school," Rosebud replied,
"Why are you asking?"
"I thought I might check out the school later today,"
Skyview replied.
When he finished eating, he took his plate into the kitchen and
left it on the counter. Little Flitter landed on the counter
and looked at his empty plate, all that was left was the syrup.
Skyview stood and looked out the window, noticing the shed in
the distance.
"What's that?" Skyview asked.
Rosebud walked to the window and looked, "That is the shed.
My husband works in there with Buster and Charades."
"Oh, I see. I think I'll go check it out," Skyview
replied and left the counter. He walked to the screen door and
left the house. He walked across the yard to the shed and stood
at the door watching. Booster and Charades was getting ready
to cut a wooden beam with a saw while Buster put on goggles and
was getting ready to use a machine on a small piece of wood.
"Prince Skyview. Anything we can help you with?" Buster
asked noticing him at the door.
"No, I was just wondering what you do in here," Skyview
replied.
"We cute wood and make furniture out if them. That is how
I make my living," Booster replied, "I made all the
tables in the house."
Skyview looked at him surprisingly, "Really? Your quite
good then."
Booster smiled at him, "Well we got cutting to do."
Buster turned on the machine and suddenly Skyview held his ears,
then he winked out.
"What's happened?" Booster asked, "It's not that
loud."
'It is for him," Charades replied.
Skyview winked to the living room feeling relieved at how
quiet the house was. He turned and sat on the couch leaning back
and relaxing.
Rosebud walked in and saw Skyview with his eyes close, "Is
something wrong?"
SKyview looked up at her, "No, nothings wrong," He
paused and looked around, "Do you have any books I could
read?"
"There's some in the other room," Rosebud answered.
"Thanks," Skyview stood up and walked to the next room.
He looked around and saw the stack of books on a table. He walked
up to the table and took a book, then he sat down on the couch
to read. He had only read one page when Little Flitter flew up
to him, "What are you doing?"
"Reading," Skyview replied.
"Reading what?" Little Flitter asked.
"I don't know, I only read one page."
"Oh, mind if I sit and watch?" Little Flitter asked.
"Watch?" Skyview asked, "I'm just going to read."
"Can you read it out loud?" Little Flitter asked.
"I prefer to read to myself," Skyview answered.
"Oh," Little Flitter replied. She flew tot he couch
and sat next to him, laying down.
"What are you doing?" Skyview asked.
"Waiting."
"Waiting for what?"
"For my turn to read it," Little Flitter replied.
Skyview sighed. He stood up and walked to the living room but
Little Flitter followed him. He walked to the kitchen and saw
Rosebud looking out the window.
"I'm going out for awhile," Skyview told her then he
winked out.
Skyview appeared in the meadow near the gate while holding
a book. Suddenly to his surprise He saw the ice blue pony walk
through the Gate.
"Starfire was right. He really does go through the gate
during the day," Skyview thought.
Blizzard wore his hooded cloak as he walked through the gate.
Then he suddenly noticed Skyview. He turned and ran into the
forest.
Skyview dropped the book and ran after him but he quickly lost
him.
"How do I keep losing him?" Skyview thought. He stood
and looked around but there was no sign of the pony and he didn't
hear him, it was as if the pony suddenly disappeared.
Skyview turned around and went back to pick up his book, then
he sat down in the tall grass as he began to read.
Half the morning had gone by before he noticed the time.
He closed his book and winked back to the house scaring Rosebud
as she walked downstairs.
"Sorry," Skyview replied standing at the door.
"You've been gone along time. Are you hungry?" Rosebud
asked.
"Yes," Skyview replied, "But I want to go see
the school first."
"Now?" Rosebud asked, "Ponies will see you."
"I'll be hiding. I've done it before," Skyview replied.
He opened the door just a crack and turned himself into a cloud,
then he left the house. Rosebud went to the door and looked outside
for him but he was no where to be seen.
"Maybe he'll be fine," Rosebud thought worriedly.
Skyview flew through the air looking like a low cloud. When
he saw the park he quickly flew there and landed among the trees
and bushes. The shade was dark and there were lots of trees which
gave him great cover. He walked quietly watching his surrounds
till he came upon a pink building at the end of the park.
"That must be the school," Skyview thought, "How
interesting."
He stood behind a tree and watched the ponies through the window.
He could tell they were working on their papers. He sat down
and continued to watch and wait wondering when the little ponies
leave school.
It wasn't till morning had past that he heard the bell rang.
It had been so quiet most of the morning he had stood and waited,
it was the first sound he heard. Just then a large group of little
ponies ran out of school, some walked. Skyview was hoping to
spot Luna among the group. After several large groups left the
school he saw a white earth pony with long purple hair, he knew
that could only be Luna. He watched her as she talked to her
friends, smiling and laughing. Just then Blueberry ran up to
her.
"Lunarstar!" Blueberry cried as he ran. Luna and her
friends stopped.
"Now that your back, want to go skating?" Blueberry
asked.
"Roller Skating?" Luna asked.
"Of course," Blueberry replied.
"I'd love to," Luna exclaimed happily.
"Great, I'll meet you at the lake then."
"Ok," Luna replied.
Blueberry ran off to catch up with Raspberry who was going in
the other direction.
Skyview ducked low, making sure Luna wouldn't see him.
"I wonder if he's the pony Luna loves?" Skyview thought,
"I'll have to check this out." Just then he heard his
stomach rumble, reminding him of how hungry he is, "I'll
do it some other time,"
He turned into a cloud and left the park heading back to the
house. |
