"Yeah. I mean. I haven't been practicing them, but a magic blast is just a concentration of your magic, right?" Ripple said. "So it depends on how well you can use magic in general. The shield is a lot more difficult for me. I can teleport faster than I can make a shield."

"Then you shouldn't have anything to worry about. And you know you can always call on me or Broly if something serious does happen, hypothetically, of course." Twilight said, and drank some cocoa.

"I know." She said with the tea still in her hooves. "It's just a lot to take in. Suddenly my past is back in my present and it's a happy part of my past, but then there's the hint of... shadow again too. I know Incognito wasn't the same as what Broly and Cloud can do, but it has its own dark side as well. I'm just feeling very uncertain right now. I feel like I could teleport away and pretend today was all a weird dream."

"I think you've just got to make the call to trust Cloud or not. If you feel it necessary, test him, and if you cannot, find someone who can." Twilight said, "I've tested Broly a couple of times to aid my peace of mind."

"I want to trust Cloud, but I don't know how to test him." Ripple replied. "How about you Twilight? You have experience with it."

"You said you tested Broly a couple of times." Ripple replied. "So you know how to test a pony. If you could test him it would make me feel more at ease. What do you test for? I believe he's telling the truth. But do you test if the magic has some influence over him? Do you test weather he's sincere and not up to something?"

"Hmm, I broke up with him for good once. And another time I had Process Celestia think of a test. But what I was testing him for is likely different then what you would. You're not thinking about marrying Cloud after all." Twilight said.

"No! Definitely not." Ripple replied quickly. "I mean, I haven't even thought about anything like that with any pony. Not that Cloud isn't an option or anything, it's just not something that's currently on my to-do list." She laughed awkwardly. "Anyway. What should I be testing him for then?"

"His intentions." Twilight said with a slight chuckle, "You seem more worried about why he did what he did than anything else."

"Yeah." Ripple said thinking it over. "When I was younger I would have given almost anything to see my old friends once again. Yet he left them behind to go looking just for me. He says it's because he wanted to save me, but he went through a lot of trouble with no guarantee he would even be able to save me. And then how did he end up getting his power to do that in the first place?" Ripple's hoof shot up to her mouth. "You don't suppose he's in love with me? That he did all that because he had a crush on me when we were in school?"

"I won't swing either way on that." Twilight said, "It seems a really shallow reason to be honest. Do you think that's really the reason?"

"I don't know." Ripple admitted. "I don't remember there being anything special between us back then. And I've never had a special somepony myself. Has Broly ever done something crazy just because he loved you? Something like they do in books and fairy tales?"

Twilight thought back which led to spacing out a bit. Eventually she broke the silence, "Broly's done many things for me, though not like the books or fairy tales. I'll spare you the details, but he can be as evil as he can be good. He's definitely calmed down in his youth." She said with a mostly serious stare off into the distance.

"Well... would you have done anything different if you weren't in love with him and he was just a friend?" Ripple asked.

"But of course, he'd have become a permanent fixture in the Princess' garden a long time ago." Twilight said with a small somewhat forced laugh, "But that's neither here nor there and I cannot speculate on so distant a possible future. For your situation, maybe confront him directly? I wouldn't want to go another day without knowing for certain myself."

"Maybe you're right." Ripple agreed. "If he's going to be send to the Princess' garden it's better that it happens while I'm still in shock about the whole thing. I'll think about how to confront him, maybe take him somewhere safe."

"And if you're worried about protection, don't be afraid to pull Broly into the mix. He's handy in situations like these." Twilight added, sitting the emptied cup of cocoa on the table.

"I'll think about it." Ripple answered. "But if Broly took us to the shadow realm or used his own shadow magic I don't know if I'd be able to handle that."

"Then I'll warn him accordingly, thought I don't think you've got anything to worry about truthfully." Twilight said.

"I hope you're right Twilight, I want to believe that." Ripple said. "But when I look at him I'm always reminded why I don't."

Twilight went quiet, giving Ripple a moment to think as she tended the fireplace with the fire iron.

Ripple stood up. "I should probably get back home." She said.

"Anytime. Shall I get the door or will you make your own exit." She asked, levitating the cocoa over to her.

"That's alright, I'll manage." Ripple said taking the cocoa with her magic. "Goodnight." She said before disappearing in a flash. Ripple teleported into her house and she put on the lights. Then stopped to look at the mess she left earlier that day. "Well, no time to think about Cloud now, I better get to work." She said to herself before starting to clean up.

Cloud was high in the air. Enjoying the night breeze and ascending quickly. The air grew crisp then cold as he rose high above the highest clouds. He opened his wings, exhaled a chilling breath, visible at this altitude, and began to fall backwards. Free-falling and drifting to a zen-like state, he felt the calm of many years past. He only allowed this for a moment though, making sure to give himself enough time to pull up. Flipping over so he would be falling hoof first and then nosediving, he was caught off guard by the ground mere feet from him. He tried to pull up and closed his eyes, anticipating a collision if anything. Everything went silent and he opened his eyes to the feeling of still falling. All was black and he descended until the real world came into view, the ground now a much safer distance as he came to a calm stop. Broly walked up to him, "You got a death wish?" He said. "No... I used to free-fall all the time. I don't know what happened this time." Cloud said, sitting down as he recovered from the scare. "Hmm. I free-fall sometimes too, but I can catch myself. You should do it if you're going to fall asleep." Broly said in a firm tone, sitting in front of him. "Mmm... So what brings you here?" Cloud said. "Making sure you're safe. I haven't had a rogue shadow here in years." He said. "I've only heard of one evil shadow and that as Sombra. I'm only here for Ripple." Cloud said confidently, not intending to be scared by this weird stallion. "I've taken care of Sombra." Broly said, "Do I need to take care of you too?" He asked. "No sir. I won't be a problem." "Good, then I've got good news and bad news." Broly said, "Good news is you can stay here and shouldn't have any problems from me. Bad news is you'll be giving up your contract with that shadow." Cloud was silent, not understanding why he had to give it up or why he felt against the idea. "I can hold the shadow, but I can't break the contract. You've got to do that." Broly said. "Doesn't seem I've got a choice, let's get on with it." Cloud said, looking away from Broly. Broly brought out the shadow from a shadowy claw and laid it on the ground. The creature took the more solid form of a fox now. Broly told him how to do it and Cloud broke the contract. The shadow faded to the shadow realm leaving the Pony and Shadowling sitting in the darkness. "If that's all, I guess I'll go home." Cloud said, getting up and moving to leave. "Wait." Broly said, giving Cloud a moments pause, "Why did you do all this. You seem like a smart kid, certainly you know how foolish it was." "That's what everyone tells me. I guess I don't know why I did it anymore." He said and started walking again. He looked back and Broly was gone.
OOC: I might add more depending on what you post next.

After cleaning ripple got ready for bed. She straightened the blankets neatly and when everything was done she teleported into bed. It was the little things that she liked doing the most.

Cloud walked the rest of the way, wanting strongly to fly, but feeling off about it too. It was a quiet lonely walk before the light of the firehouse came into view. He flew the last few feet to speed things up before walking into the firehouse, "I'm back." He announced, sure Blaze was in here somewhere.
