Into the Everfree of Fireflies' Light

I Waited for You

"You're lost, aren't you?" the alicorn questioned Twilight. She wasn't quite fond of the young filly, but the more she talked to her, the more she grew interest in Twilight. "I'll lead you out of the forest." she spoke once again. Twilight made a wide smile on her face. She was happy. She was safe with her. "Thank you!" Twilight jumped in cheer and ran straight towards the mare again. Suddenly, she felt pain in her head. The alicorn hit her again. "Didn't I just tell you?" the mare sighed and looked at Twilight. "Sorry, I just.." Twilight grabbed her head in pain and cried.

Soon, they had both come to an agreement. Twilight held tight against the log, that the alicorn kept levitating close to her. Twilight giggled on the way and quoted: "It's just like going on a date!" The mare snickered and kept quiet for a moment. "Not a very romantic one..." she finally replied. It surely did feel like a date, considering they both were trotting close to each other. Twilight kept smiling joyfully at the same time, looking at the ground - fearing to fall over and cause trouble to the blue mare again.

The alicorn moved her head towards Twilight from time to time. She kept making sure, that the young filly was comfortable around her. She tried to start a conversation, since it was quite awkward for her to be in silence with the filly. Though, it was calming. Eventually she spoke again: "You... aren't afraid?" Twilight lifted her head up and looked at the alicorn with a confused look on her face. "Of what?" she simply asked the mare. "Never mind." the alicorn quietly mumbled.

After a while, they've come to the end of Everfree. "If you go straight, you'll hit the path to your town." the alicorn informed Twilight and smiled at her. A warm light came in, once Twilight ran towards the path to Ponyville. For a minute, Twilight turned back to look at the spirit again. "Bye." the mare waved at the filly. Twilight's heart filled up with sadness. She grew so close to the alicorn spirit, that she feared to lose her and not see her ever again. "Are you always going to be here?" Twilight asked the spirit, "If I come back here, can we meet again?"

The alicorn narrowed her eyes and hoped for the filly to run away. She didn't want to trouble another pony. That has always saddened her. Whenever a pony came into the forest, they'd never come back home. After all, there were evil spirits in Everfree too. The alicorn has always wanted to convince the ponies, that Everfree isn't as bad, as it seems. If she could, she'd always protect everyone, any time. Her appearance didn't say that, but her heart did.

Eventually the alicorn had to say it if Twilight waited for her reply. "This is the Everfree forest where darkness travels, and spirits live." she started, "Set hoof within, and you'll lose your way and be lost forever." The mare lowered her head and continued: "You shouldn't come here." The wind shook the leaves off of trees. It was becoming chiller and dusk has arrived. Twilight knew that she had to go back, or her brother would be worried. "That's what the ponies say, right?" the alicorn ended.

Twilight was about to run back to her big brother's house, but then she thought that he can wait. "I'm Twilight Sparkle," she smiled at the alicorn, "you?" The alicorn didn't want to be friends with Twilight, for the sake of her safety. She kept waiting for the young filly to move along. Though, the mare's heart was filled with despair, she wanted to see Twilight again. She was excited for finally having a friend. She couldn't wait for the adventures with her, that shall await. She couldn't wait to brighten her days up, that were filled with loneliness and sorrow.

Twilight couldn't wait for the alicorn's answer anymore. "Anyway, I'll be back tomorrow with a thank-you present! Bye" she smiled while turning her head back to the pathway. "I'm Luna." Twilight heard her voice. She turned her head to see the alicorn for the last time, but the mare has long gone from Twilight's sight.

Twilight was filled with excitement. She couldn't wait for the next day already! Though, there was a question bothering her since she met the spirit. But it didn't matter, as long as she was happy. She trotted along the path until she finally saw her big brother. "Twilight!" Shining Armor yelled and ran to her little sister. "Ah, big brother!" Twilight also ran towards Shining Armor and eventually held eachother tightly. Her big brother was very worried and feared that he may have lost her. On the other side, Twilight incredibly missed her big brother, even if she hasn't seen him for only a day.

"Twilight, you idiot!" Shining Armor gently hit Twilight's head with his hoof. What's up with everyone hitting Twilight today?! She cried out again. Her head was pounding, since it has been hit several times. "if you go into the forest on your own and get hurt, what are you going to do?" her big brother tried to warn Twilight. She rushed up to Shining Armor and hugged him tightly. They soon walked back home together.

"Big brother," Twilight started, "is it true that there are spirits living in that forest?". Shining Armor didn't expect that topic at all, but at least he was happy that Twilight could rely on him. "Who knows.." he casually replied to his sister, "When I was little, I wanted to meet the spirits, so Cadence and I often went into the forest.". Twilight was in awe. She never knew that her B.B.B.F.F. (Big Brother Best Friend Forever) was just like her, when he was a young colt.
