Crossing the Mountains.

[Jon]

((I guess they're walking..^^;)

Themis slowly trotted with him. "I'm originally from the mountains." She said gesturing behind them. That hurt, she planned on not doing it again. "But, I've been living here for almost a year, and, my family are Ponyville natives." She cringed. She hurt, all over.

"So, what are you travelling for? Are you a gypsy?"

[Silver Shadow]

"Oh ok." He said. "No, I'm not a gypsy... well I don't think I am. I'm just kinda, a traveller, learning about different lands and... yeah..."

Dream Chaser thought carefully if he should tell Themis about his apprenticeship and his master and the types of magic he dealt with, though he wasn't quite sure if he should. And also he didn't want to be considered a freak or anything if they did found out what he possessed. He recieved a few mouthfulls of bitter names in the past; it was probably because of his master's reputation. Not that it was bad or anything...

"Anyway, I came to Ponyville so I can celebrate the Festival of Lights with a good friend of mine which I haven't seen for sometime. I don't know if you know her, she only arrived here before the battle. It's meant to be a surprise, so I'd much prefer my arrival is kept quiet, not that I'm important or anything." He smiled.

[Jon]

Themis nodded, and listened to Dream Chaser. "Yeah, that battle was terrible, it destroyed my home." She said whhile wincing. "I woul've gone and lived back up towards the mountains, but, I'd rather not cause a up-roar with my family." She looked behind her, towards the mountains, and then sighed.

"Heh..With all this running away from home, and junk, I'm going to be labeled as a gypsy." She giggled. "That's why I asked..Then again, gypsies do kinda intrigue me."

((If ya' didn't know, in the future, Themis will become a gypsy..^^;;..))

[Silver Shadow]

((yeah. I think it was in her bio ^-^))

"Oh." Dream Chaser said no longer smiling. "I'm sorry about your home."

He managed a small smile. "So you are interested in the life of a gypsy?" He asked. "I don't know if it the sort of life you'd like, not that it is a bad one. You meet lots of ponies learn lots of things traveli; its much better travelling than living with a family, but you will start to think about home." He said. "I haven't had one for some time now... Well, I've met gypsies during my travels, they were rather friendly folk once you got to know them."

They continued walking through the snow. "Do you know where to find the nursery?"

((Hmm, we should be getting to the Nursery soon. Oh, by the way, Themis looks a bit like my god, Hermes because of her colouring. ^-^))

[Jon]

((Really? The Hermes for C03?^^;;..Or, wait, si there a Hermes for the new storyline?))

Themis nodded to his nursery question. "Yes, it's right over there. It should'nt be too long until we reach it." She motioned towards the area of the Cafe and the nursery. "So, you travel, how come?" She said with a interested smile. She winced again, but kept walking strong and tall.

"I guess we're alike in ways right now, we both don't have homes!" She giggled a little, not too much, or pain would pierce threw her body. Again.

[Silver Shadow]

((no. Hermes is in Fewa, though I'd love to bring him into C03 for some time. He might like it here. ^-^ Hey, did I just call him a she back then. oops. Better not tell him or he'll chuck a sad. -.-'))

Dream Chaser looked around with interest. It was such a new sight to him, but of course the pinks and purples and the colours of the rainbow of the town seemed slightly familiar. Ponyland seemed to love this whole pink thing.

"I don't know. I don't have a home to go to, so I travel to the ends of the earth, learning what I can, seeing what I desire, meeting whoever comes my way..." Dream Chaser smiled, his emerald eyes seemed to shine as though the thought brought up such happiness. "I just love that type of lifestyle. Life isn't as much as a routine when you travel around. There is always something new around the corner, always more adventure in the next town. And of course you have the unexpected twists." He grinned. "I guess I've just grown out of that old routine my parents made me live when I was under their roof. But now, I can live the life I want... to some point of course." He muttered the last point though.

He smiled. "Yeah, I guess," He said. "But feeling like you have a home is a special feeling too. But I just can't stay in one place, it's just not like me anymore... So why do you run away from home? Why aren't you living with your family?"

[Jon]

Themis smiled. "Well, you're obviosley not controlled by your parents anymore..So, why not settle down?"

She leaned against him tighter, the pain seeming to dull away. Maybe she was just over exagerating. She tried to push off Dream Chaser, but she couldn't. She decided not to try that again, he was strong, and stable anyways, that was good. Themis blew a strand of hair out of her face.

"One day, I'll leave my home behind and travel the world. Find out who I really am." She gave a slight smile. "There's gotta be more to me than what the eye sees." She smiled, and continued to walk. "Or, atleast, I hope so.." She mumbled to herself.

[Silver Shadow]

"I just can't." He said. "I've become to fond of this way of life. And anyway, if I was to settle dow, it would have to be a place which I would truely cherish, and anyway, I don't always have the time to relax."

"Of course there is more to you." Dream Chaser said. "You will find out who you really are when the time comes. And going to different places, facing different situations and meeting other ponies is a good way to do it. They will aid you." He smiled. "I know, cause I've been down that path, trying to find out who I am. And now, I think I have a good idea. I just need to work on it... you alright?" He asked as they continued walking towards the nursery. "We are almost there... I guess."

[Jon]

Themis winced again, and then nodded. "I'm fine." She repeated everything Dream Chaser said to her in her head. She nodded, and agreed. "Yeah, you're right." She said with a smile as they reached the door of the Nursery. She looked at it, and smiled, blushing. "Thanks.." She glanced at him again, and reached for the door knob.

((If you want, have Dream Chaser follow her in.^^))

[Silver Shadow]

Dream Chaser smiled happily in return. He had no intention of leaving her at the moment. He wanted to meet other residents, ask if they knew where Moony was. Strange how she didn't collide into them; she usually did that.

((Yeah, I guess I'll let him tag along. I want him to meet Kail for the future ^-^))

[Jon]

((Okay..^^.."What the Cat Dragged In" is the title..^^))

[Silver Shadow]

((^-^ ok))
