//------------------------------// // Chapter 49, Twins, Part 4 // Story: The Chronicles of Summer Rain // by shysage //------------------------------// All fourteen Twins quickly cleared the Portal, and were back in the Equestria Girl's world. Most of the Equestria ponies almost fell, but those already through quickly helped them up and guided them out of the way. However, since Summer Rain had repeatedly transformed all of these friends into their Equestria Girls form while they were in Equestria, nopony had any trouble walking, or soon running. Even so, the Summer Twins came through last, followed by Shysage. Equestria pony Summer kept constant track of where Shysage was from then on. She stayed close to him if she could. This world scared Summer, and for good reason. They decided that Summer would lead the Equestria ponies out to the bleachers while the Equestria Girls went to Fluttershy's apartment to get their stuff. They would then come to the bleachers as well. All fourteen Twins were soon seated on the Bleachers next to the Soccer field, Twin with Twin. There were some frowns in the group. The day would end with separation, and everypony knew this. Still, this was fun, and a very new experience for the Equestria ponies. They were looking around quite a bit, just trying to take it all in. It really was so different in a lot of ways. Either they or the Portal had timed things correctly, maybe both; it was Sunday, maybe around noon. As the Equestria Girls Fluttershy and Summer sisters returned to the bleachers and sat with their Twins, Equestria Girls Fluttershy mentioned that she had sent a text to her parents simply asking them to meet her at the Soccer field. Equestria Girls Summer Rain began to weep softly. As far as her parents knew, she was dead. Equestria Girls Pinkie Pie asked her old friend Twilight if she felt the trip had been worth it. Twilight simply put her head down on Princess Twilight's shoulders and cried. They chatted for a few minutes, then Fluttershy said "they are here..." Equestria pony Summer was crying now too, but she had her Twin sit on the bottom of the bleachers with the rest of the Twins in front of her. Summer and Equestria Girls Fluttershy, both crying, approached Fluttershy's parents as they walked towards the group. Summer and Fluttershy both hugged both parents, and Fluttershy's mom asked why they were both crying. Summer could barely speak, but she managed to say "we brought you a present from my world." The next thing they saw was their 'dead' daughter running towards them and collapsing into tears in their arms. The whole family just cried together for a while. Fluttershy's mom kept saying over and over "It's a miracle..." They cried together for maybe 30 minutes, then Fluttershy's and Summer's mom approached Summer. "You must be an angel... How can we ever thank you..." Summer's Twin ran over to Summer at this point, and they hugged and cried a few minutes, then Summer tried to say "Just let her come see me..." Summer's parents looked at the both of them. Both Fluttershy's came over at this point as well, then all four hugged and cried. Summer had to add "And Fluttershy too..." Summer's mom said slowly "I don't understand what I'm seeing, but I think I like your world..." At this point Equestria pony Summer quickly bolted off across the field. Shysage was concerned, and followed, but he soon stopped. Summer ran up to Principal Celestia and Principal Luna. They were headed to their offices for some reason. Summer asked that they come over to the group. They needed to see both Summers or neither would be trusted. Summer's Twin was sitting with her family on the edge of the bleachers at this point, and they were all still weeping softly. Once they got close to her Twin, Summer said to Princess Celestia "We found the real 'Summer', she was in Equestria." Summer couldn't say anything else. Principal Celestia and Principal Luna had both fallen to their knees weeping. Evidently it wasn't just Summer that they saw. They both realized that all seven Twins were here, right before their very eyes. After crying a few minutes, Principal Celestia and Principal Luna moved to the bottom bench of the bleachers, sat down, and asked that everyone gather round Summer, then she spoke. "Summer, the other day I asked you if you were from Equestria, and you said you were. "Sunset Shimmer was from there too, so I didn't think much of it, even after Princess Twilight defeated her, then returned to her world. Sunset Shimmer soon returned through the Portal too. "But Summer, I found the police reports from Summer's wreck, and I knew that there was no way you could be her. "It became clear to my sister and I that there were two Summers... "One evening after your return here the second time, my sister Luna and I went through the Portal that we watched Princess Twilight use. "Princess Cadance quickly called for the two Princesses that were..." Principal Celestia almost couldn't finish... ...she was choking back tears... "... our Twins..." Both were crying now, but soon Principal Celestia continued. "My sister and I spent maybe eight hours there. Princess Celestia watched you Twins 'soul link' I think, and we did that too... It was amazing... I honestly hope we can go again at some point. She looked right at Summer. "Summer, I have you to thank for this... If you had not come here, we would have never met your Princesses, our Twins. "Summer, when I linked with Princess Celestia, I was awestruck at all you accomplished... ..just by valuing and practicing simple friendship... ...and Princess Celestia saw that same thing in everything you did here as well. Principal Celestia began to speak very sofly at this point. "Summer I saw how much Princess Celestia treasures you... I saw what was on her heart. She was not able to do this, but I will for her." Principal Celestia next got up and walked maybe 40 feet from the bleachers and asked Summer to follow. Then she asked Summer to stand facing the bleachers. Principal Celestia said nothing, but walked back maybe 20 feet towards the bleachers, turned around to face Summer, and bowed down on her elbows towards her. In less than 20 seconds, everyone had joined her. Principal Celestia simply said "Summer, you are amazing..." Summer transformed herself into her Equestria pony form, fell to the ground crying as a pony, then said through her tears, over and over, "I'm just a pony..." Noone moved or made a sound for maybe two minutes. Well Princess Twilight and her girls were all weeping softly too. After a few minutes, Fluttershy's mom got up and walked over to Summer, and stretched out her hand. Summer changed quickly back into her Equestria Girls form and Fluttershy's mom helped her up. "I still think you are an angel, and it seems that you have an amazing capacity for giving, and bringing good and happiness wherever you go. "And there is no way I know of helping you see how much it means to us that you have brought our daughter back to us, from the dead it seems. "And all these 'Twins'... All of Fluttershy's friends, there's two now... I have never in my life seen such love and devotion... "And it all seems to be the result of what you have given us... "Thank you." Then Fluttershy's mom gave Summer a hug, and cried deeply on her shoulder, and they were both soon crying. Everypony just gathered around and joined them. After a little while, Principals Celestia and Luna found the Twilight Twins and cried with them. Princess Twilight loved her two Princesses dearly, and to actually meet their Twins was amazing. Besides, the sisters were overjoyed at meeting Princess Celestia's amazing student as well. Oh, and Pinkie was taking pictures like mad through this whole thing on her cell.
