"That's quite the story really." Ripple told him. "But wherever it is I went I took Incognito with me and trapped him there as well. So I was there alone with that villain. Actually my parents were also there, but they were frozen. I guess it was a part of my subconscious that did that. I didn't want to go alone, but I also wanted to protect my parents, so I brought them along while literally freezing them in time. But, anyway, I was there alone with Incognito and I guess I developed a split personality to protect myself against him, just pushed myself down while the other me dealt with him. Oh! We're here!" Ripple said stopping in front of Sugarcube corner.

Cloud was looking to Ripple now, though his face didn't belie his confusion, "I see. I guess when you've been trapped that long, you do what you need to survive." He said before looking at Sugarcube Corner, "Bright." Was the only word to come to mind.

"I was young and scared out of my wits. I still get nightmares from back then." Ripple said as she walked through the door. "Hello Pound Cake." "Hello Ripple." The pony behind the counter greeted her. "Is Pinkie Pie in?" "She'll be back soon." "Okay, thanks." Ripple said and walked to a table. "The longer my other self was in control the more powerful she got." Ripple continued. "She named herself BlankFlank. I guess she either resented that she had no talent of her own or it was simply to mock me."

"I see," Cloud said with a nod to Pound Cake, whom he assumed to be the shop keep, "And what happened when you got out? How did you get out anyway?" Cloud asked sitting down, those questions at the front of his mind.

"I'm getting to that!" Riple told him. "So as time went by her frustration at being trapped in there, I suppose my frustration, turned into anger and hatred and focused it on my friends, all of you. She reached out and searched for you to capture you and make you suffer just like how I suffered, but by that time you, I mean everypony else, weren't there anymore, so she pulled in whoever she was able to instead."

"You must be very powerful." Cloud said, "To pull others into an already impossible spell. Who all got captured?"

"Let's not start that debate." Ripple rolled her eyes. "Young unicorns and magic going haywire isn't really that uncommon, doesn't mean I'm stronger than other unicorns and it doesn't mean I'm a monster, it just means I'm normal. If you want to give credit then you'll have to give it to BlankFlank, because I have no idea how she did it."

"I mean more your potential then your present ability. The things unicorns can do has always fascinated me, I almost feel lackluster by comparison." Cloud said with a grin, "So what happened next?"
OOC: Na, I'm not feeling up to it.

"Hey Ripple." Pumpkin Cake greeted her. "Who's your friend? I've never seen him around." "Hi Pumpkin. This is Cloud, a... distant friend of mine, I guess." She smiled back at her.

Cloud nodded, "Pleasure to meet you." He said, falling into old boarding school habits.

"Same here." Pumpkin told him. "Can I get you two anything?" "A couple of milkshakes please." Ripple ordered. "Sure thing." Pumpkin said and headed off to get them. "She's at a bit of a rebellious stage right now." Ripple whispered to Cloud after Pumpkin left. ooc: I always go back to the original MLP and milkshakes at times like these.

OOC: It's a tried and true classic. BIC: "Seems normal enough to me." Cloud said, looking bask at Pumpkin to spot whatever rebellious nature Ripple was taking about. He guessed it might instil itself later and turned back to Ripple, "What we're we talking about?" He asked.

"Well, the people Blankflank pulled into my prison ended up saving me from both Incognito and Blankflank. The spell broke and I ended up here." Ripple told Cloud. "There was the Mayor of Ponyville, which had a little help from Princess Celestia. My teacher or at least my would be new teacher. And a guy that was very good at lying." She giggled. "Of course I didn't completely understand what was going on when I got back. I was still the same age as when I left and pretty scatterbrained about the whole thing."

"A guy good at lying? Seems strange." Cloud said, "But I'm glad they got you out, and..." Cloud stopped and thought for a second, "Yeah, I'm glad you're back." He affirmed. He wanted to apologize but felt weird about it. He didn't want to take away from Ripple in all this.

"Thanks." Ripple said. "Yeah, he's a pretty weird guy, but cool. I don't know if we could have defeated Incognito without him. Anyway, after that I grew up here in Ponyville. I went to school here, made friends, earned my cutie mark and opened my own bakery. Princess Celestia did everything she could to make me fit in here."

"Sounds similar to my experience with Manehattan Boarding School, though I didn't need to get saved and didn't speak much with the Princess. I haven't gotten to the point where I'm starting a business, but she did help me get the job at the Fire Department." Cloud said.

"Talking about that, what are you going to do now?" Ripple asked. "I mean, when I cam back I still a foal and grew up here. You've been traveling through time while growing up. Have you thought about what you want to do? How you're going to cope?"

"I don't know. I'm taking it slow for now." Cloud said as he picked up a spin from the table and started tracing with circles with it. "I guess you could say I'm weighing my options."

"And what are your options?" Ripple asked. "Here you go." Pumpkin said putting the Milkshakes in front of them and then leaving again.

"Thank you." Cloud said, taking the opportunity to shut himself up with the milkshake. He gave a thoughtful hmmmm as he took a long sip. He quickly Bevan last in thought, mostly on Celestia's parting words to him. ... Celestia turned back to Cloud. "Our only defense against time is experience. The path you follow will leave you completely defenseless against it. I hope you'll take that to heart." ... her expression became serious. "Don't forget about my warning though. She may have been born a long time ago, but she grew up here in this time. And she has become quite a strong willed and outspoken pony." Inside, he was suddenly feeling his lack of experience and how he still thought of both of them as a fully or colt back in Alfalfa. On the outside he would have just looked like he spaced out.

"Hi!" Pinkie Pie suddenly popped up behind Cloud. "Are you new in town? What am I saying? Of course you're new in town. My name's Pinkie Pie and I'm pleased to meet you. Hi Ripple!" "Hello Pinkie." Ripple greeted her. "I'd like you to meet an old friend of mine. This is Cloud." "Don't be silly, he's not that old." Pinkie giggled.

Cloud might have jumped clean out of his chair if he's not actively fought the urge. He tried his best to play it off and clear his throat, "Hello, Pinkie, is it? Cloud Nine. Pleasure to meet you." Cloud said extending a hoof.

"So tell me all about yourself." Pinkie said. "Are you visiting? What do you do? Are you liking Ponyville? Did you meet everypony else? Do you like bubble berry bon bons or cherry berry fizz? Because I just can't decide."

"Ummm... No, I work at the Fire Department, I've only met you, Rainbow, Blaze, and Ripple, and are those soft drinks?" He replied, nowhere near as fast as Pinkie has dished out the questions, but trying his best to answer them all.

"You met Rainbow? That's great! I didn't get any time to spend with her before she had to go back to the Wonderbolts. And no silly, they're sweets!" Pinkie explained.

"Oh, then probably the bon bons. I don't much like cherry flavored candy." Cloud added.

"Then I'll go with the bon bons!" Pinkie said. "Which reminds me, we have to throw you a welcome party. Just... not right now." Pinkie said and she almost looked like she was going to cry giving him the bad news. "I'm kinda swamped with two events I need to finish, but right after that we'll definitely throw you a party, I promise! Don't let me forget Ripple." "I wont Pinkie." Ripple answered.

"Well, I better get back to planning these events." Pinkie sighed. "Don't be fooled Cloud, even if your job is fun it can still be loads of hard work." She said before trotting off. Ripple chuckled. "That's Pinkie Pie. So where were we?"

"Umm... Something about plans from here I think. I can't really remember." Cloud said, picking up and continuing his milkshake.
