Despite the tears in her eyes, she started to laugh. "Flitter doesn't believe it. She says, and I quote. "Yeah, and I'm the daughter of Pinkie. I freaking love parties."" she said. The image of a dark, evil looking Flitter partying popped into her head. "Yeah. I'll come with you guys." she said, smiling.
"Okay... Let's get going. Either of you know the way to Ponyville?" Narrowleaf asked. "I sure as hoof don't."
"On my back, now. I know the way to my old house like fire." Bolt said, smiling. He made sure both of his friends were securely on his back and flew slowly so nopony would get hurt. "We'll be there soon" He said "I can't talk though, cuz i have to focus on getting there." Bolt told his friends.
The entire flight Narrowleaf had a look of pure horror on his face. He had many fears. Mares, clowns, height...
"I'm gonna go and check my Mom's house...maybe something good will happen in my life." Bolt said, flying off.
"Mom?" Narrowleaf kept calling for somepony. "Who are you? What do ya'll what?" A voice called. "It's me... Narrowleaf."
"My... Baby..." Applejack rushed over to hug Narrowleaf, crying. Narrowleaf also was in tears. "M-mom... I..." He knew he was home.
"Oh....He's ok. Home." said Brisk, noticing the reunion. "Let's go see your mother." said Brisk. She gave a wave to Narrowleaf, and helped Bolt up.
"Ouch. Thanks Brisk. I hope my mom's okay...I mean all of the animals protecting her..." Bolt trailed. "Brisk if you hear a growl at any point near the house, drop me and run ok?" Bolt said
"Well...we're here. I'm gonna go knock on the door." Bolt said. He ran to the door, ignoring his pain, and knocked four times, like he used to as a kid. The door flew open "Bolt! You're Alive! Who's that over there?" "That's my friend Brisk...I've been very nice to her, just like you've always wanted me to do. I flew her and our friend Narrowleaf on my back." "Applejack's son? Oh, my! Your ribs, your face, everything! What happened to you???" Lightning Dash tried to kill me. I scared her off. I guess you gave me a version of the stare, Mom!" Bolt laughed, Fluttershy stood and wrapped her hooves tightly around Bolt. Tears ran from both of their faces. "I love you, mom." Bolt said "I love you too, Bolt." Bolt gave Brisk a thumbs-up to go to her mother's house.
Narrowleaf was too busy to notice the other two leaving. He just cared about the reunion. He always longed to know the past. "I... know who killed... Dad..." he stated between coughs.
Brisk nodded, and began to walk. She sat by the Everfree Forest and looked at the tombstone there. "Hey Mom..." she began. "It's me." she laughed. "The freak." "How've you been? I've been ok. I've been on an amazing quest, and I did good things." she continued to tell about the adventure to the small, marble grave.
Bolt gave Fluttershy a dead serious look. "You didn't tell Applejack, right?" He said, eyes darting "Oh, no. I'd never do that to you. You tell her when you're ready. It works that way" "Thanks, mom...you are the best mom anypony could ask for. You're smart, nice, and you give great advice!" Bolt said, exhaling a sigh of relief. "Did you tell Narrowleaf?" "Oh god, I did...You gotta hide me mom...NOW!" Bolt yelled. "Okay, right, uh, go out back and hide in your old tree fort!" "You kept that up? Aww, thanks mom! I'll go now. Don't tell them where I am!" Bolt said, hugging Fluttershy again.
