At the Market; Open

Jewels was shopping around for the Apple family today, her son flitting around her as always. Or rather- not as always. He hadn't always had changeling wings. That was very new to her. It was curious. How could they even fly looking like that? They had holes in them. It was probably magic. Still, strange. As she went through the market she hardly bothered with haggling, not having the energy to do so. Since she'd started cloud sculpting again she'd started to have more energy… But still she was easily drained.

Flight Risk followed his mother close by. She had been happier recently, but he didn't trust her enough to let her be alone. He used to sleep in the same bed with her only when he had nightmares. But since she'd gotten back from the hospital not even her bed was safe and free from his presence. He wasn't going to leave his mother alone for a second to try anything funny. As her eyes glazed over a knife stand he flitted in front of her face. "No." He growled firmly.

Jewels shook her head. "Wasn't looking there dearest, it just happened to be in the way between the two things I was looking, nothing more." Flight Risk just eyed her mistrustfully, so she turned and continued on her trip. She couldn't help what he thought. He would be insane not to worry after what he had seen because of her.

Chronius trotted into the market with focus. He had needed a blade for quite some time, after all flints and teeth could only get you so far. He sighed from behind his mask, still tasting jungle vine. As he approached the knife stand his mind was elsewhere and he was again not looking where he was going. It was about that time of year again and he always became distracted quite easily. When he suddenly ran into something or someone with a great deal of force.

Jewels tumbled over, getting up without much of a fuss. She didn't have the energy to fuss. She'd just dust herself up and move along. She glanced at what had hit her, a stroke of unease stirring in her core at his cloak and the mask. Had he been a regular pony she would've just walked on. But he was automatically intimidating, and from a pony who had only recently disowned her Cloudbanker roots… It was harder than it sounded. Jewels whipped open her staddle back and pulled out… A cloud. She looked dead serious. The ponies laughed in the background. Such a creature and she brought out a cloud?

She squeezed the handle-shaped cloud and A bolt of lightening shot out of it, crackling consistently under the pressure of her hoof, an inch from his nose. "This is your warning." Jewels growled simply.

Flight Risk cheered his Mom on. "Way to go Mom! You show him how it's done!" By Celestia's horn, he couldn't believe Jewels had seriously NOT used her special talent until recently. It was so amazing.

One moment a collision and now he had practically eaten a lightning bolt. He considered all of his options. It was really his own fault after all and he had fully intended to appologize and help the poor mare up. However the pegasis had been far faster than he had anticipated.

He looked into the ponies eyes and saw a will as hard as stone. This could go very bad very quickly. He was about too explain himself when he heard a noise.

"Way to go Mom! You show him how it's done!"

A child! That explained it! He chuckled at the young colt's excitement. Truly a mothers wrath is the scariest thing in all of Equestria! He could feel that the market's eyes were on them now. Well if they wanted a show than it would be a show that they got. He needed a pick-me-up anyhow. He looked deep into the mare's eyes and gave a wink.

"Mwa-Haa-Haa-Haa-Haa!!", he cackled with all of his might before leaping backwards and striking a dramatic pose. "Do YOU believe that a mere PONY such as yourself could stand before my AWESOME MIGHT!!" He imbued every word with as much flare and camp as he could manage. "Now that YOU have DARED to challege me your FATE is forever SEEEEEAAAALED!" He grabbed a walking cane from a nearby display with his magic which he then brandished like a madman.

"Well, My little PONY! Do you think you stand a chance against the full force of EEEEEEeeeeeeVIIIIILEEE!!!"

"Yes, I do." Her words were the epitome of brevity. "Eeyup, mah Ma's can beat you easy!" Flight Risk crowed, his voice twanging and resonated with the Apple Family accent. It was an accent that his mother strangely lacked. But both of them had seemed to miss out completely on the wink, too fired up to notice it.

Jewels clenched down on the handle harder, glad she had listened to the cloud when it nagged her and begged to come along. No, she wasn't insane. Her special talent just ponyified the clouds, even to the point where they had voices and personalities of their own. Art was a tricky thing, and clouds were an even more tricky medium. But nothing that she couldn't handle with her talent.

In response to the increased pressure the lightening bolt shot out of the handle she'd sculpted special for this. giving her a range far greater than this creature… Though it probably had magic. Which was why she intended to end this quickly. She swung her lightening blade at the creature, aiming to hit any part of him.

Flight Risk, a bit slow on the uptake, did a rerun on how the creature had winked at his mother... His face fell at the realization. "Uhh... Ma..."

He saw the swing flash through the air. This Pegasus was definently giving this her all. Even he was convinced by her serious and solid tone. She must have had formal lessons to give such a delivery.

5 seconds to impact

The blade was coming quickly but she would likely pull it just short of his body. All that would be required of him was a small movement, bringing him to safety and it would create a beautiful effect.

3 seconds...

He began to lean to one side giving a smarmy look to this mare. As he looked closer at her face however showed that same resilience that had shown before. No need to worry, she had seen his signle correct?

1 second...

UH-OH. The bolt made contact with his shoulder just as he had realized that this pony was more than serious. He quickly attempted to use his magic to redirect the electricity into the air and ground while protecting his more vital areas. The shock was incredibly painful and it took all he had to not lose all control of his body. It would however not be fatal.

He was bent over and was sure that a bit of his mane was smoldering. He almost decided to let loose on the mare with all that he had, but caught himself at the last moment. He had decided to go through with this plan and he was the one who had caused the collision. Even if it weren't the case he was not depraved enough to attack somepony in front of their child. He would simply have to stay the course and attempt to protect himself as best he could.

"Well that was SHOCKING!", he declared. "But now its MY TURN!" he said undoing his cloak and holding it in front of himself like a screen. "Now you SEE ME! NOW YOU..." just before finishing the sentence he used his magic to fling the cloak at the mares face and attempted to slip behind her.

"Wait! Wait!" Flight Risk yipped as he saw that the cloak was flying towards them, and he dove into the way. Originally he'd thought to just flight into it, but then figured he would just grab it in his teeth at stop it from going towards his mother. He did so, then spitting it out. "Wait!" He yipped as he saw his mother aiming to buck the stallion in the face when she saw that he slipped behind her.

Wait for what? This guy had attacked them first. Damn that was one white guy. His cloak had given her the impression that he would all be dark, but the impression of seeing his scales, white and bright, after the contrast of his dark cloak, was pretty dramatic. interesting, but she wasn't stopping whens he didn't even know what to stop for.

He wasn't sure what was going on, nor did he know who was in the right or not. Flight Risk was just so baffled and confused. but he did always appreciate a good bucking. He'd have to get Johnagold to give his mother some tips though when they got back. She could do better than that, Flight Risk was sure of it. "What's going oooon?"

A small miscalculation. He had formed a plan based on his own abilities rather than that of his opponents. Now he would be taking a buck to the face for his mistake. He heard the child screaming the legs tensing and everything was slowing to a crawl. If he attempted to form a barrier so close it may not do any good at all. His options were starting to run out and by appearing behind the pony he may have made himself seem even more aggressive.

Suddenly he had one last bright idea he located a Pegasus close by and used his magic to pluck a few of their feathers. Then he used his magic to bring the feathers beneath the pony's forelegs. If he could take out her grounding she would lose the power for the buck. He began moving the feathers lightly yet vigorously. He would tickle his way out.

"Have At YOU!", he shouted.

Johnagold had been shopping with Jewels and Flight Risk, but he had separated from them in order to check out the new tractor dealership in town. He wasn't going to purchase anything due to a lack of sufficient bits, even though Big Macintosh desperately needed a new one after Granny's ancient one broke down the other day.

He had found a really nice green one that he was really liking, but he was soon interrupted by what sounded like either a robbery or an incredibly hammy magician. Johnagold could hear Flight Risk shouting and a cloud's lightning going off.

Please don't tell me THAT happened again, thought Johnagold as he ran to the scene. It turned out that it was something completely different. There was a really odd-looking kirin tickling Jewels with a feather.

"What the hay is goin' on?" shouted Johnagold in an angrier tone than usual. "Ah heard Flight Risk screamin', lightnin' strikin', and a bunch of ridiculous one-liners!"

Johnagold got up into the kirin's face, glaring furiously and nearly foaming at the mouth with anger. "Are you gonna explain what you're doin', sir, or am Ah gonna have to call the police?"

After the tickling started she was too shocked to even move. Was he serious? Really? She lowered her head and blew the feathers away with a giant gust of minty fresh breath. Typically it was only used to move clouds, but this was just plain weird. "What in the wide world of Equestria do you think you're doing?" Jewels growled at him.

Flight Risk shrugged, shaking his head. "Aye really have no idea." He wished he did, this was way confusing and baffling. He'd never seen a mother baffling battle in his life. But it had been kinda cool. It reminded him of the manga that Johnagold had given him read and pass the time. Now that had been some kick flank stuff. And to see his mother like that was awe inspiring. That was his mother.

Chronius looked up at the furious stallion before him. The show had gone far enough. If he had to deal with two angry ponies than there was a high chance someone would end up hurt, and a higher chance that the someone would end up being him. He straightened up looked him dead in the eyes and responded.

"What? Oh you mean this! I bumped into your friend in a moment of inattentiveness. A simple but regrettable mistake. Although in my defense I am the only one who ended up worse for wear. Not only that but I had to lose my cloak and use up all my best lines.", he secretly hoped that the stallion had a bit more humor than first impression let on. However if he did not he began to take a few steps in order to find a clear exit.

"Admittedly, declaring myself to be pure evil may have given the wrong impression.", he chuckled. "Next time say 'excuse me' first, then the titanic clash of will." he muttered to himself.

Johnagold took a quick glance over to Jewels and Flight Risk and nodded to the both of them. Then he looked back at the kirin and continued to speak. The kirin's joking attitude towards what appeared to be some kind of rape attempt was really irritating the stallion.

"This ain't a joke, sir," said Johnagold as calmly as he could. "What Ah saw was a crazy pony tryin' to harass a mare who's already been through enough as it is."

Things were looking worse. He didnt care so much bout the Stallions tone much anymore but rather his words.

"already been through enough as it is."

He hadn't wanted to make a hard time for anypony. Especially not when they apparently were already having troubles. He had always managed to joke at the exact wrong times. Well he knew now that he had to make this right as soon as he possibly could. Now seeming to ignore him completely he turned towards the mare took a few steps in her direction and bowed until his horn pressed against the ground.

"My good lady, I am truly sorry for this. I did not mean to distress you in any way." He levitated his coin purse out of his saddlebag and onto the ground. He could deal with eating through vines a little longer. "Please accept this as payment for your participation in this little event and as a token of my contrition."

Jewels took the money. They had been a time where money had meant everything to her, bits more priceless than anything. A little something she'd learned from her cutiemark in accounting father. But she'd also learned to hate earth ponies and unicorns and anything that wasn't a pegasus from them. So go figure that on those disowning feather brains. She took the money and padded over to Johnagold, still pretty ruffled.

Flight Risk flitted over to Johnagold, nuzzling about uncertainly with changeling wings. A joke. Oooooooooh. A joke. Flight Risk looked up to the sky, thinking. "Looked like a… A… Well there was a little wink, but caught onto that too little too late." And his mother still hadn't caught onto it. It took a look to get her rilled up as of late, and it seemed that when she did get riled up it was pretty riled up. Not that she didn't have a reason, this guy looked like a villain by ever respect… Though his scales looked a little bit strange.

They had accepted his gift.that was quite fortunate. Hopefully they would simply be willing to put the incident behind him. It was time to do the smart thing and leave. however foolishness had served to amuse him at least for a bit, and it wasn't like things could really get worse. So as the pony walked away from him he raised his head and without turning said,

"If it's not to much trouble what was that bit with the lightning? I mean I don't think I've seen anything like it! Is that something that all Pegasus can do, a type of arcane magic, or maybe a technique only recently devised?"

He knew he was likely asking to many questions but when he got excited when seeing something that so interesting. "And the child's wings they seem quite unique to say the least. Not a defect I assume as they seem to hold his weight. Perhaps they could..."
