"Hi Broly." Ripple greeted him. "This is Cloud, he's a childhood friend, from way way back." She chuckled. "Cloud, this is Broly."

"Nice to meet you." Cloud said nervously. Broly was really staring him down. Broly simply nodded his reply, "And did you know what your old friend has dealings with the shadows of the shadow realm? He's got a shadow with him now." Broly added, still standing between them and the door.

"He does?" Ripple asked surprised and then turned to Cloud. "You do?" She paused and then burst out. "That's how you traveled through time! You used shadow realm!"

Cloud almost jumped back, "Yes." He said quickly, rather startled by the turn of events, "Though I'd use the term "time travel" very loosely." he added, as though it would make the situation better. Broly simply watched carefully.

"You told me you studied magic." Ripple accused him. "The shadow realm isn't pony magic, that's something else!"

"I assure you, I only studied pony magic. Unicorn magic. I only used the shadow realm to find and wait for you." Cloud said in his defense.

"Then how did you learn how to use the shadow realm?" Ripple asked.

Cloud looked down, "I was contacted by a shadow in the forest. During one of my trips out to find you. I got lost and he offered to get me home. Then he said he could help me find you." He admitted, folding his ears back.

Ripple's mouth hung open and she was unable to say anything. After a shadow nearly destroyed their whole town by lying to her, Cloud still listened to another one. She sat down and put a hoof on her forehead.

OOC: Just wanted to point out that I never came up with a reason for this. I know there's a break in logic there, but I otherwise cannot rationalize it outside of what he's willing to do for Ripple. BIC: Cloud scooted back a little bit, knowing he'd been caught. While they were having their moment, Broly circled the two and his hoof changed into a black griffons claw. He reached into Clouds shadow and pulled out what looked like a small feral animal, dog, fox, rabbit, it was impossible to tell as it changed form continuously. "I'll just hold onto this." He said as the shadow disappeared into the claw and the claw in turn changed back into a hoof. "You're safe to come inside then." He said, leaving the two outside.

Ripple shivered at seeing the shadow and instinctively stood up and stepped back while her horn glowed. "Did you have to do that now Broly?" She sighed as the thing disappeared.

"I'm not going to let it walk around my house unchecked." Broly said walking in, leaving the door open for Ripple and Cloud.

Ripple glanced towards Cloud. "Not a good first impression." She told him. "If you've got any other magical secrets you're keeping I suggest you get it out into the open. I am about to introduce you to the element of magic and friendship after all." She said and headed for the door.

Cloud would Jesse felt a combination of curiosity and apprehension for the element and this Broly character is he wasn't overwhelmed with guilt. He did well to hide it though, putting on a meek smile and following a pace behind Ripple. Inside, Twilight was behind the counter and stamping some books. The inside of the tree was clearly much much larger than it should have been. Books lined every wall and many corridors wove in and out of the central area.

Inside Ripple practically ran up to Twilight. "Hello Twilight! How have you been?" She greeted her with a smile.

Twilight looked up, recognizing the voice, "Oh, Ripple. Always great to see you. Taking an early lunch?" She asked then noticed Cloud, "Friends of yours?"

"An old friend." Ripple answered. "It's been one of those days, you know? Cloud here decided to drop by my shop this morning, after about five hundred years."

"Really?" Twilight said louder and really looked over the boy, "but he's not a unicorn. And he doesn't seem old either." "Thank you? I guess." He said, walking up to introduce himself properly, "Cloud Nine. Pleasure to make your acquaintance." He greeted in proper boarding school fashion.

"Apparently he can do the kind of tricks Broly does." Ripple told Twilight and glanced over to Cloud. "And not only the magical tricks." She said before turning back to Twilight. "He told me that he's been studying pony magic as well though."

"Mmm... yeah, I went to Manehattan boarding school. I did a lot of personal study into magic. All in the name of finding Ripple, I assure you." He said, not but a little bit defensively. "Then how did you travel through time?" Twilight asked, getting up from behind her desk and walking up to the two. "I didn't really think it counts as traveling through time. I just stepped out of it and let it pass by until Ripple appeared. It seemed I was of by a bit, but not much." Cloud explained.

"Well, most magic that involves traveling through time requires you to unbound yourself from time." Ripple said. "So it's pretty much the same thing."

"Fair enough. I didn't have access to books detailing time magic, so I'll have to take your word on it." Cloud said. "Your a reader?" Twilight asked. "Yes, or at least I've grown into one." Cloud said, "I was going to peruse the stock and find something I could read in my spare time. "That's what the library is for. Broly will make you a level 1 library card. I'll have him add access to the magic book sections for you." She said and belt, who had just walked back into the room, walked back out again. "So you'll be staying here in Ponyville?" She asked. "Yeah, I've done enough travel. I still have some friends to look into though." Cloud said, finding a nearby pillow and sitting down.

"He's working for Blaze." Ripple told Twilight. "Half time traveler, or time squatter I guess, and half firefighter." She turned to Cloud. "But why do you want to keep studying magic? I thought you did that to try and find me."

"I don't know." Cloud said half enthusiastic, "I guess it's the constant think in all my travels so I've grown to cling on to it." He said with a grin. He couldn't let her know that he'd hoped learning about magic could help him know more about her. "Besides, some lighter reading will only be on my list. I'm sure I'll find something to read." Then I Recommend the Daring Do series. Not met a pony who didn't like it." Twilight said.

"That's because it's not a good idea to not like it in Ponyville, especially for somepony in your position." She fake whispered to Cloud, Twilight still able to hear her clearly, but with a tone filled with jest.

"Yes, yes. Celestia forbid Rainbow should come across another pony that wasn't 100% keen on Daring Do." Twilight said with a chuckle. "That sounds interesting. Can I get a copy." Cloud asked. "Once Broly gets back with your card." Twilight said and her horn glowed. From one of the other halls a copy of the first in the series. She sat it on the counter. "Here you go." Broly said walking back into the room, holding an otherwise normal looking laminated card. It even had Clouds picture on it." You can check out two books max at the start but as you return them on time you'll be allowed more books at once." He said.

"Hmm... Do you have a book on magical flight? I think that's about where I left off before." Cloud said. "Yes, they're at the end of the hall." She said, pointing to one of the doors, which opened and she was already pulling the door through and sitting it down, "I'll get the books until you learn the system I've got in place." she said and grabbed library card and the ledger book. She started jotting down for the books and new card. "You run a very nice Library. I can't wait to learn my way around." Cloud said, looking as far down the halls and doors as he could from his seat.

"You'll never get a look around if Twilight keeps fetching your books." Ripple laughed. "How about you walk around a bit while we wait for Twilight to finish?"

"Sure, don't mind if I do." Cloud said, getting up and picking the hall the Daring Do book came from. Broly sat down beside the front desk and looked to Ripple.
