//------------------------------// // February 26, 2044 // Story: High School Ponies (9th grade) // by AmethystFire //------------------------------// I woke up that morning, without my companion; my pal Ms. Snapple. I tried to find a place to stay away from her. Somewhere I couldn’t be seen from my older self and my companion. Soon, I went into a hole in the wall restaurant to hide. It was the best place to go. I was only in there for five minutes and older Ms. Snapple went into the restaurant and saw me. “Um, hey Crystal?” Ms. Snapple asked. “Oh, hey Ms. Snapple.” I responded. I looked at her with a face of disheartening. I really didn’t want to see any likes of anything tied to my Ms. Snapple. “I just found out that you are the Crystal from the past. I just have one question for you. When you scared me at my home, I saw how upset you were when you had left, about the story I told you about my dream being utterly crushed by a fifteen year old. My one question is that, because you are like her. Do you think that if I were to tell her what happened to me; would she forgive me for all that I have done?” Ms. Snapple asked. I thought for a long time. If I was her at this time, would I still forgive her? I looked at Ms. Snapple with a forced on smile. “I think she would enjoy getting to see you again and, not being murdered. But, I have to say that she lost her life as well. She or I mean me didn’t become an author like she had hoped. She got her dreams crushed too. If you help her become who she wanted to be and get her there, she will try and return the favor for you. Give ya a hoof.” I responded. “You really think so?” Ms. Snapple asked. I nodded my head, “She should.” “Thanks 15 year old Crystal. I’ll never forget you. Well, it the next ten minutes I will.” I giggled a bit, she was right about that to herself and me. I thought for a second, maybe, if I returned to Ms. Snapple now and we tried to get home together, maybe, I could change the future for Ms. Snapple. Maybe her dream would be fulfilled, maybe, I could become an author like I wanted to do! I didn’t hesitate to go back to the park and look for Ms. Snapple; sadly when I arrived, she wasn’t there. “I’ll wait for her here, maybe she just went out to find me.” I said aloud to myself. I sat down underneath the bridge so then if my older self-came to me, I wouldn’t be seen. I waited there for her. Soon, nightfall came and Ms. Snapple didn’t come back. I started to worry, where did she go? I came out from underneath the bridge where I was when in the distance I saw a silhouette of a stallion. “Crystal?” the stallion asked. I looked up at the stallion; he had black fur with a bright purple mane. “Lunario?” I asked. “What are you doing here? I thought that you were dead?” he asked. “No I didn’t! This isn’t me in your time. I’m the Crystal Feather that your younger self knew. Look, I am stuck here in this time, unless I can find my science teacher Ms. Snapple. Please, can you help me find her?!” “Well, what do you want me to tell her if I find her?” “Tell her to meet me at the park.” “What does she look like?” “Brown Pegasus mare, yellow mane, hourglass cutie mark, dangling right wing. You can’t miss her.” He nodded. “Do you need a place to stay?” Lunario asked. “Please.” I responded. I followed Lunario to his home. When we arrived I noticed there was a brown mare with a dangling right wing. “MS. SNAPPLE!” I cried lunging at her into a hug. “I’m so glad that you are okay. Wh- Where did you go?” she asked as I let her go. “Not far. I may have tweaked the future a bit. Just your hate of me at this time period.” “Okay?” I soon looked straight into Ms. Snapple’s eyes, she seemed happy to know that I was okay. “Did you get my letter?” I asked. She went to her other wing and pulled out the note. “Dear Ms. Snapple, Hearing that I had screwed up your life in the future because I tagged along, I don’t think that I could face you again. Possibly by time you read this, I might be as far as Canterlot. Go on home without me; I’m better off not making your life any more miserable than it is now. But I just want to say this, thank you for all that you have done for me; Ms. Snapple. I hope that your life will get better without me around. Your student, Crystal Feather.” Ms. Snapple read. I blushed, she did get me letter. “I know one way we can get back home!” I suddenly remembered. “How? With my wing broken there is no way.” Ms. Snapple argued. “Yes I know that. Lunario, do you remember Angel? Angel Von Valentine?” “Yeah, she lives just down this street here. It would be best to go there in the morning.” Lunario answered. “What’s the plan?” Ms. Snapple asked. “You’ll find out.” I responded. Ms. Snapple looked scared. Ha ha, finally I freaked her out about something!
