Charmcaster smiles and runs ahead to catch up. 'come on firestrider! Race you!' Charmcaster yells back to firestrider.
Firestrider smiles and just barely quickens his pace, letting Charmcaster get ahead. As he looked between her, Lightning Dust, and Frostbite, he knew that he had more to fight for than the filly back in Canterlot. He felt a hefty weight on his shoulders as he suddenly felt like he was critical to the survival of everypony's way of life. 'For all of Equestria,' he thought, 'for this land that I love. I will fight. And by Celestia's mane...I will succeed in knocking these bugs back to where they came from.' He knew that it was his job to retake Canterlot from the Changelings. To any other pony, it would've seemed impossible. But as he looked as his friends and his brother, he knew he wasn't alone. "Let's get some food." he said aloud. "I think I'm about to start chewing my own leg." He finished, laughing.
Charmcaster laughs and looks back at firestrider. 'well, we're almost to sugarcube corner. Look!' Charmcaster said as the shop came into view and the enticing smells of cakes, cookies, and other goodies filled the air. Charmcaster then realized that these ponies are her friends. She would do anything for them.
Lightning Dust could smell the aroma in the air as she took in a big whiff, sighing from the delectable smell as her tongue hung out her mouth for a moment then waving everypony on. "Lets get some eats!" She flew inside SugarCube more hungry then ever.
Frostbite could smell a delicious aroma in the air. "Oh my i'm so hungry i think i'm gonna eat the entire building!" He said. He looked back at Firestrider and the others with a smile, "I'm so glad i found other ponies finally, we'll drive all these bugs out of equestria once anf for all!" He looked back at his brother and cracked a smile on the side of his mouth. "Hey brother, remember coming here as kids?"
Firestrider closed one eye and grinned, "I remember getting my face dunked in a giant pie because someone thought it would be funny. Good times, though." He looked up at the building and chuckled to himself. It hadn't changed at all since the first time he saw it. He and Frostbite had been coming here since they were young, and it held a bit of childhood nostalgia for Firestrider. "I bet the Cakes will be glad to see us."
Charmcaster smiles sweetly as she heads inside. Coming up to the counter, the place looks how she remembered from her father's last visit. Cakes, cookies, and pies of all sorts decorate the display shelf, homemade candies sit in barrels that are full to the brim, and the intense aroma of fresh baking waffs through the air. Suddenly, Charmcaster is knocked over by a young pegasus with a boxing glove cutie mark. Getting up, Charmcaster smiles at the little colt. 'opps sorry. New trick. It didn't quite work.' the colt says smiling up at Charmcaster. 'it's ok pound cake. Accidents happen.' Charmcaster says returning his smile. Then pound cake runs to the back. 'MOM! We have customers!'
Frostbites face lit up like a kid in a candy store. "OH yeah this is what i'm talking about!" He said as he looked right and left at all the delicious sweets that lined the stores front counter. "And Firestrider for your information that was based on a dare!" He said laughing loudly. His stomach then growled very loudly and his ears flattened and he hung his head a little bit, "no matter what that's so embarrassing"
Charmcaster smiles sweetly back at frostbite and giggles. 'that's ok frostbite. We're all hungry. I'm surprised my stomach isn't growling.' Charmcaster looked back to the counter as Mrs cake comes to the front with a tray of fresh baked doughnuts covered in rich dark chocolate and white sprinkles. 'oh! What can i get you, Charmcaster? Is your dad back already?' Mrs cake asks as she puts the doughnuts on the doughnut shelf. Charmcaster's ears flatten and she looks down. 'no, not yet Mrs cake. He's still in saddle Arabia on political business for princess celestia. I hope he makes it home ok.' Charmcaster says gently hoofing the ground. Then, a young unicorn with a piece of bubble gum for her cutie mark bounces from the back. Stopping in front of me, she leans down a little and makes a face that she learned from pinkie pie that causes Charmcaster to smile and laugh. 'hey there pumpkin cake. Hehe pinkie pie teach you that one?' pumpkin smiles. 'yuppie! I made my special candy Charmcaster! Do you want a piece?' Charmcaster smiles at pumpkin and nods as pumpkin squeals and rushes to the back. 'Mrs cake, we need a dozen of your apple pies and two dozen of your cookies. Macdamia nut if you have them.'
Blackwing walked down the street in the direction of Sugar-cube Corner. His wing had a bandage over it, and there was a thick layer of dust accumulating on his mane and body. He let out a sigh, remembering what life was like before this all happened, though it may not have been all that long ago, for he had lost track of time, it felt like an eternity. He flexed his bandaged wing, checking to see if it had healed from his close encounter with a group of changelings. A sharp pain shot up his wing, which he quickly tucked back down to its side.
He pulled out a small photograph from under his wing, it was a picture of a mare and himself, smiling at the camera. He ran his hoof over the picture and tucked it back under his wing with a sigh. He pulled the brim of his hat over his eyes, and walked into the bakery, where he saw a group of ponies, friends, he had assumed, sitting together, talking. He walked past them and took a seat across the shop.
