"No problem. It was a lot of fun." Ripple smiled. "Want me to teleport you back to the firehouse?"

"No, I think I'll fly around a bit before I get back." Cloud said, "Thanks for the food, you're a creative baker." He said, sitting the plate on the bench and standing up.

"Thanks." Ripple said with a big smile. She picked up his plate and both plates vanished into thin air. "When will I see you again?"

"I'm sure you'll see me around." Cloud said, "How about you come visit me at work sometime?" He offered.

"Okay. When I've got some time I'll head over there." Ripple agreed.

"And I'll be sure to actually order something from the bakery next time." Cloud said looking at his hoof, wondering is he should go for the wave, hoofshake, or hug. He opted for the safest option and waved, "See you around Ripple."

At first, Cloud was going to take off normally, so as not to show off, but like an itch he couldn't help but scratch, he so strongly desired to fly and with the strength and skill taught by Tor, he took off with a fair bit of speed and force. He didn't look back thinking it might look silly and instead focused on how high he could go.

Ripple giggled as Cloud took off the way he did and felt a bit nostalgic as she thought of the distant past. Then she sighed and teleported away. Ripple appeared in front of Twilight's library and knocked on the door.

Broly opened the door a moment later, "Sup, come on in." He said, standing to the side.

"I'll be back in a bit. I've got a thing to take care of." He said and walked out, Twilight's in the private study. You know the way. He said, closing the door behind him.

Ripple nodded and made her way to the private study. "Twilight! Are you here?" She called out.

Twilight was in one of the chairs. A set of two she and Belt would use in front of the fireplace. It wasn't lit but the other chair was still open. "I was still enjoying my tea, would you like some?" She asked.

"Sure." Ripple answered. "I guess I could do with some tea."

The tea pot floated over and poured into a little cup which Twilight levitate towards Ripple, "Come on and take a seat."

Ripple did as Twilight asked and took a seat next to her.

"Well, I was hoping you could teach me a bit about the magic that Broly uses." Ripple asked Twilight.

"Oh, so this is about Cloud. I just so happen to be the second leading expert on the Shadow Realm after Broly. What did you want to know specifically?" Twilight said.

"Well, yeah." Ripple said. "It's great that I'm meeting a friend from so long ago, but we've both also became so different. I may be from back then, but I grew up here. He didn't grew up in one time, if i understand what he told me. And then I find out he can do shadow magic. I don't want to be afraid of him, but shadows scare me, I can't help it."

"Totally understandable. That's where Broly's headed now, actually. We thought he'd handled all the shadows in Equestria outside of Sombra, so you should have seen his face when he sensed Cloud coming by." Twilight finished the cup of tea she had, "I guess you could say shadow power works in two ways. One way is in the shadow realm, in which there's really no limits to a shadows power. That whole world reacts to the denizens in a chaotic fashion. Outside, in our world, it's different. Shadows can only exist here when they make a contract with a real person. The powers they get from that shadow vary from person to person. Broly's unique ability was portals, but after becoming a full shadowling, he's gained full control of the shadow realm. That's the jist of it at least."

"If Broly is nervous about it, then how am I suppose to feel?" Ripple asked. "What is dangerous about it? Is it still the same Cloud from my past? Does the magic rely on what's inside your heart like unicorn magic? How does it effect other ponies?"

"He was more surprised than anything." Twilight said and sat the cup down, "And as for Cloud, having a shadow won't change who he is. The power he gets will depend on what he wants. Broly wanted to be everywhere and anywhere, so portals came naturally. I don't know what Cloud wanted or what power he has, but it will depend on him, not necessarily change him. No different then any power can change a pony."

"What if his reasons are selfish?" Ripple asked looking down at her tea.

"That's between you and him." Twilight said, "I've never known him before today, and the Cloud you knew is probably not the Cloud we saw today. I think it would be best to get to know the new Cloud before you make your judgement." She added calmly, "It's good to be cautious, but take it from a pony that once tried to disaster proof Equestria, it's possible to worry too much."

"He traveled through time because he wanted to safe me." Ripple said. "Despite not knowing if he'd even find me. He left all his other friends and family behind for that. I'd call that selfish no matter what kind of Cloud he is today." She sighed. "I just... want to make sure I'm looking at the whole picture. I don't want to loose everything again."

Twilight went silent for a while and slowly finished her tea, "I'll agree that that sounds pretty selfish." She said with another long pause. After looking at her teapot, she sat it and her cup down, "Out of tea, she said finally.

Ripple's horn glowed and a furnace of hot cocoa appeared on the table. "So I guess the next question I have to ask is... how do I stop him if I need to?" She asked looking away.

"Thanks." Twilight said and poured out a cup of cocoa. "Let's see, I'll answer your question given what I know about Cloud. Concerning his shadow magic, unicorn magic is kind of like the opposite shadow magic, and works both offensively and defensively against it. The reality of the matter, however, if you're not fighting the shadows but Cloud. Do you remember how to use the magic blast and make a shield if you need to?" Twilight asked.
