"Because it's not possible." Ripple said putting a hoof to her head. "How can you be here? Why are here? You were back in Alfalfa, more than five hundred years ago."

Cloud sighed and then deep a deep breath, "I'm more concerned for you. So how about this. I'll tell you how I got to be here and you can tell me how you were saved. Over my years all my will was bent an your rescue and is like to hear what happened." Cloud said, trying to calm himself down as much as learn more about Ripple.

"Fine, fine. But you go first." Ripple insisted. "As you can see, I'm fine, but I don't know if this" she waved a hoof to Cloud. "is fine."

Cloud felt weird standing in the middle of the shop and moved closer to the counter, he thought of how best to tell the story as he did. "Well, where to start. After you disappeared I searched with our friends for you for as long as I could. Most of our friends had given up by that point and I almost did too, but I found something else while searching the forest, or it found me. He told me that he saw you get taken and they if I waited long enough." He stopped to think of the next part and make sure she was following thus far.

"I always wondered what you all did after everything." Ripple said. "I was always too afraid to look it up. I just hoped that you all moved on and had a good life."

"I can understand that. I've avoided looking back at what happened after I left other then to ask one question of the Princess. I tried to always look forward and focus on... helping you. I only made one pit stop a few years back to go to school. I made some friends but I don't know what they're doing now." Cloud said.

"Wait." Ripple said. "You traveled through time? Is that how you got here? And you chose to do that? What about your friends? Your parents?"

Cloud went silent for a bit. He looked down, but he didn't look sad. He heaved a heavy sigh and scrunched his brow as he looked more determined, "I was young. Finding you was my only thought. I hadn't given thought to what I gave up until it was centuries too late." He said, "And I didn't travel through time, I sort of just waited for it until a time came when you'd come back. Until then I studied magic. It was a stupid plan, I know."

"Stupid!?" Ripple yelled. "That's doesn't even come close to it!" She grabbed her head in frustration. "Do you know how long it took me to get over leaving all of you behind, missing all of you? And you decide to do it out of your own, because of me!" She stood up and started walking in a circle, obviously upset. "How can you...? Why...? I don't even...!" She mumbled, unable to complete a sentence. Finally she stopped, her horn started to glow and she started to flicker as she disappeared and reappeared in quick successions until she was completely transparent, like a ghost, unable to be touched.

Cloud folded his ears back and looked away, giving Ripple time. He was feeling bad but held those feelings for now. Out the corner of his eye, he was watching Ripple despite trying to look away, amazed at what he could only assume was teleportation.

Ripple stopped flickering and sat down letting out a deep breath. "Sorry, I just needed a moment." She told Cloud. "I just... Why?" She asked. "Why would you come looking for me?"

Cloud looked completely away this time, not sure how to answer. He lightly bit the inside of his cheek as he tried to think of some response, and it was some time before he did, "I was just so worried. I didn't want you to be gone forever..." He said and stopped on half a breath, clearly wanting to say more but not finding the words. He couldn't speak for her to tell her story so he wouldn't have to talk, which is what he wanted to do.

Ripple sat silently for a while before she spoke again. "Well this is awkward." She said out loud. "One of my childhood friends came looking for me. There was a time I wished for nothing more than that, but the reality was that I knew it would be better if they didn't. I guess I should be happy, it's like a dream come true. But at the same time I'm so very, very angry at you that I could drop you in the middle of the ocean!"

"Please don't." Cloud said meekly, still shrinking back, "I'm sorry." he added, all he could think to say at this point. He started moving towards the door, "Maybe I should just go. My boss is waiting outside." He said, giving Ripple a pretty wide berth.

"No don't!" Ripple stopped him. "You can't just leave now. I'll be thinking about you the whole day if you do and then I won't be able to do my work. How about we go for a walk? How long have you been in Ponyville? Or in this time for that matter?" She put a hoof to her head. "Boy, now I know what other ponies feel like when I try to explain teleportation to them."
ooc: She's already forgotten about having to tell Cloud about her past because of how upset she is.

Cloud stopped, mostly scared she would snap at him again and then looked outside, "I don't think that would be a problem. I would need to run it by my boss first. I'm working under Blaze at the fire station. He's waiting outside." Cloud gestured to the door.

"Oh? Rainbow Dash' special somepony?" Ripple asked. "Good for you, although I never imagined you to be a fire fighter." She walked past him out the door. "You didn't answer my question by the way." She said as she passed him.

"Oh, I've only been in Ponyville once and for one night. Last night. I lived in Manehattan before that and spent a while in the Shadow Realm before that. That's all the traveling I've done since Alfalfa." Cloud said, as he followed Ripple outside.

"Then I can show you around." Ripple said. "And you probably going to need to know what's going on in the world. A lot has changed since we lived in Alfalfa."

"I should only need the last decade or two. I took history at the boarding school." Cloud explained, walking up to Blaze, "Captain, can I have today off? You'll have me entirely tomorrow, but I've got a lot of catching up to do today."

"Sure, sure." Blaze said waving his hoof to shoo him away. "Go have some fun, I already told Rainbow I'd ease up today." "Hi Blaze." Ripple greeted him. "Hi Ripple. Go easy on him, he has to train tomorrow." "I'll try." She smiled. "So you really are a firefighter." She told Cloud.

"Yes, I think you'll find I'm not the undisciplined colt you remember." Cloud said, rolling his eyes a bit, "Thanks Captain. I'll be back later I guess." he said and looked to Ripple, "You know the town." he said, making a small head gesture for her to lead the way.

"You'll have to prove that before I believe it." Ripple chuckled. "First stop's Pinkie Pie's, she'll never forgive me if I don't introduce you to her."

"Sounds like fun." Cloud said as he followed beside Ripple.

Ripple started leading the way over to Sugarcube Corner. "So, what do you want to know?" She asked as they went.

"Well, first of all, Where were you? The friends that got me through time can see almost everywhere and even they couldn't find you." Cloud said, looking at Ripple as he did in anticipation.

"Well, I'm not really sure." Ripple told Cloud. "I tried to find out from Princess Celestia and Twilight, but since I can only remember bits and pieces of that time myself, I don't think anypony is sure. I was still here, all the time, just not in time. It's like I was put between time. Like between the markings on a clock. So there would be no time when you could have seen me, no time to find me. Something like that."

Cloud put one hoof to his chin in thought as he walked, "I guess that makes sense. I'm not sure how I never looked into time magic. I guess I didn't want to mess with the timeline or something."

"Not that it would really have helped." Ripple said. "And it doesn't make any sense to me and I'm a unicorn. Besides, Princess Celestia was looking for me all this time as well and she couldn't find me either, so don't feel bad."

"Mmmm." Cloud hummed in acknowledgment as he looked around the town, too lost in thought to actually take in the sights, "So how did you eventually get out? Did you break yourself out?" Cloud asked, as he scanned some of the nearby shops.
