//------------------------------// // Chapter 8: Sharing Memories // Story: An Alicorn Baby Sitting Adventure // by Pinkie Pie Sweets //------------------------------// After going through the portal: Twilight, Princess Celestia, Princess Cadence and Shining Armor are now human being and Spike is a small dog. To Shinning Armor and the other two Princesses, this is very new to them and they can't tell that they need to walk on twos or fours. They also notice their clothes are different as well "Well this sure is a surprise," Princess Cadence says as she is looking at her new body. Princess Cadence see that has her skin color, hair color, style, and long as her thigh, and eye color. She is still wearing her necklace and crown. She also notice she is wearing a light pink dress and yellow slippers. On the right chest there is a brooch that matches her cutie Mark. "I know this is very weird and we live in a world where there are so many creatures," Shining Armor replies. Shining Armor still have his skin color, eye color, and he has his hair color and hair style, but it's short. He is wearing a white t-shirt with his cutie mark on is and wearing a black jacket, dark blue jeans, and dark blue shoes. "I have to agree and I traveled through a mirror before." Princess Celestia replies. Princess Celestia can see she still have her skin color, eye color, and hair color and style, but notice it's not moving and her hair is past her thigh. She is still wearing her crown and necklace as well. She is wearing a white dress with yellow gold slip on shoes. She is also wearing a sun pin that matches her cutie mark. Twilight on the other hand is still wearing the same outfit since she first came to the human world. "It's okay. I understand that this is new for all of you, but let us start with the basic. In this world we use hind legs to walk and our forelegs to help carry stuff," Twilight explains. "Just make sure you take it slow," Spike says. The other two princesses and her brother look at their legs and use them to position them to stand up on their new legs. They feel a bit weird walking on them at first, but know they need to use them to walk around. Twilight is glad they are getting good with using their new legs. Then Twilight says, "Then use them to walk." The princesses and Shining Armor start to walk with their new legs, stepping one foot at the other and trying to walk at a steady pace. They have a little trouble at it at first, but after a few minutes they are getting a bit better and enough to walk like human beings. "This isn't as easy as it looks," Cadence replies as she is wobbling with her new legs. "But I think we're getting the hang of it, Twily," Shining Armor adds. Twilight can see that they are doing very well with their new legs and now they are ready to walk to the school and find Starlight, Sunburst, and the baby princess. "Good. Now let's get going to the school," Twilight happily says. And with that the group goes to the school to find the others. Spike asks, "I hope we find them soon?" "I'm sure they in the cafeteria and if they're not, the they might be in class," Twilight answer feeling confident that they are still in the cafeteria. Since it's hasn't been that long since they got the message. Back in the cafeteria: After they have lunch, they decide to have share their experience and their moments from their home worlds. Sunset is holding the baby and she is having a good time. The others also want to hear Starlight and Sunbursts story of their life in Equestria. Applejack asks, "So Starlight, what kind of pony are you?" "I'm a unicorn," Starlight answers. But then Starlight starts to get a little sad about the life she used to have and isn't sure about telling the others about it yet. "What's wrong Starlight?" Twilight asks, Starlight then look at the girls and Sunburst with a sad smile and answers, "Well, I kind of used my magic for bad stuff." "It can't be that bad?" Pinkie asks with a smile. "I created a village and remove ponies cutie marks because I believe they are trouble and I travel through time so that I can get back at Princess Twilight by making them lose their chances of getting their cutie mark and become friends, but what I did was so wrong and practically almost ruined Equestria," Starlight sadly explains about the pony she used to be. Sunset and her friends look at Starlight with a shock. Especially Sunset and the Human Twilight because like her they also let their own personal problems get in the way of what is very important. Pinkie starts to get a little sad and says, "I take that back. It's very bad." "At least you didn't tried to take over Equestria and turned into a she demon or turned into a she demon with stolen magic and almost ripped the world apart to understand Equestrian magic," Rainbow Dash explains. "And don't forget use music to hypnotize people into arguing with each other to feed on negative energy to rule the world," Pinkie happily adds. Rainbow gets a little nervous about what she said. The others stare at Rainbow and Pinkie for bring things up. The girls from CHS think the last time they need is to bring up other magical fiasco that almost cause the destruction or world domination in their home world. Rainbow then turns to Twilight and Sunset and says, "Uh… no offence." "None taken," Sunset and Twilight bluntly say while rolling their eyes. After that akward moment the others decide to ask Starlight some more questions. Twilight asks, "So, did you really travel through time?" "Yes I did… with a help from Starswirl's time travel loop spell," Starlight answers. "Wow Starlight! That's very impressive," Sunset replies sounding impressed by Starlight's knowledge of magic. "That must have been scary," Fluttershy adds feeling a bit nervous. "Oh! It wasn't that scary, but it gave me a headache after doing it so many times," Starlight replies as she is rubbing her head. "I can imagine," Rarity replies. "But I'm glad I gave real friendship a chance before I messed up the future for ever pony, I suppose," Starlight adds. "And now you got more friends, including little Flurry Heart," Pinkie replies with a smile. Flurry Heart replies but laughing and making baby noises and she is waving her arms out feeling very happy. Flurry Heart also tries to reach Sunset's hair and wants to play with it. "Wow Sunset! Little Flurry Heart really likes you," Twilight replies with a smile. "I guess," Sunset replies while holding Flurry Heart. Flurry seems to also taken a shine to Sunset and wants to play with her and her hair too. Sunset is glad she gets to know her too. "So Sunset, maybe you can tell us on how you know Sunburst, besides that you two used to be classmates?" Starlight asks. Sunburst and Sunset start to think about their days in the classroom and at Princess Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns "We don't talk to each other much, though we were partners in some science project," Sunset explains. "Yeah and you're usually busy with your studies and mostly works alone," Sunburst adds. "And... there's that," Sunset bluntly says. "Don't worry Sunset. I kind of understand that you want to get better with magic. To be honest, I always wanted to ask you if you can give me some tips and some tutoring," Sunburst says reassuring Sunset. "Why didn't you?" Starlight asks. Sunburst starts to get a little embarrassed at first, but he answers, "Well… um… I know she is very busy and with her and the princess… I was too afraid to ask." The girls look at Sunburst with confused look in his eyes and say, "Oh!" "So are you good with magic?" Rainbow Dash asks. "Kind of. I may not be a wizard, but I'm a crystaler when i did it for Flurry's crystalling," Sunburst answers as he is patting Flurry Heart on the head. "Wow! That's very impressive," Rainbow Dash replies with excitement. "And to a princess I might add," Rarity replies. "And he helped fixed the crystal heart when the baby shattered it," Starlight adds to Sunburst accomplishments. The girls look the baby with surprised look on her face and can see that the baby has very powerful magic. "She did!" The girls says with a surprised and shock look on their faces. "Yes," Starlight and Sunburst answers. The girls and Sunburst look at Flurry Heart and they can see she is sleeping peacefully in Sunset's arms. The girls can't beleive that Flurry Heart has so much magic. Sunset also can't believe that her magic is more powerful than the amount of magic than a baby unicorn. "Wow! Flurry Heart must be very powerful!" Pinkie replies with excitement. "I reckon she will be an expert in magic when she get's older," Applejack replies. "And when she gets some practice," Sunset adds. "Right," Sunburst replies. Everyone starts to laugh a because they are having a good time telling each other some adventures. Starlight really like Sunset and can see Flurry has taken a shine on her, but she knows that they need to get her back to her parents. Starlight has an idea and thinking about asking Sunset to be her guest for tonight's dinner party. Starlight turns to Sunset and says, "Sunset." Sunset hears Starlight while rocking Flurry Heart. Sunset turns to Starlight and says, "Yes Starlight." Starlight starts to get a little nervous about it and one of the reasons is because they just first met, but she has a lot in common with her. Starlight nervously says, "I know we just met… and I… well the thing is… I was wondering if you can join along with Sunburst, Flurry and the princes and princesses for a dinner party tonight. Sunset and the other are surprised that Starlight want to invite her for dinner even though they just met, but can tell that Starlight is starting to take an interest with Sunset. Sunset smile and says, "Sure Starlight. I would love to come." Starlight is surprised to hear that Sunset accepts. Starlight smiles happily and says, "You will!" "Yes. I only have band practice and I have all weekend to do my homework, so I'm free for dinner tonight," Sunset explains. Starlight then hugs Sunset and happily says,"Thank you Sunset." Everyone at the table are glad that Starlight is happy to have a new friend well friends anyway. As the time go by, the friends hear a familiar voice saying, "Starlight." Everyone in the group are surprised to hear a familiar voice and are glad to hear it. When they turn to the source of the voice, they can see Princess Twilight and Spike and they are very happy. "Princess Twilight? Spike?" Starlight replies looking surprised. "Glad to see us," Spike says with a smile. "I'm glad to see you again," Starlight replies. Starlight starts to giggle a bit and say," But I never knew you look cute as a dog." Spike starts to feel embarrassed when Starlight says that comment. Just then three more people come over to see Twilight and the others. Sunburst, Starlight, and the human Twilight recognize two of them and they are surprised to see the human version of Cadence and Shining Armor. "Princess Cadence? Shining Armor? What are you two doing here?" Sunburst asks sounding surprised. "We here to find you and get you two and our daughter home," Shining Armor explains. Sunset comes up to Princess Cadence and give her back her baby, who is still happily asleep and Cadence is happy to have her back. Cadence happily hugs her daughter and says, "We're so glad she is safe." Shining Armor comes over to Cadence to see his daughter. When he did, he notice that Flurry Heart is fast a sleep. Shining Armor happily says, "Cadence she feel so safe and sound that she didn't even miss her afternoon nap." Just then, Flurry Heart starts yawn and stretches her arms and legs a bit. When she opens her eyes she can see her mother and looking a bit sleepy still. Cadence is happy to see her daughter awake now and glad to see her smile again. Cadence happily says, "Hello sweetie, you miss me." Flurry Heart starts to smile to see her mommy again and starts to reach for her mother's face. Shining Armor stars to pat her on the head and says, "We're so glad you are alright." Just then Princess Celestia comes over to the group to see the baby and says, "I'm glad things actually turned out alright." "Hi Principal Celestia," Pinkie says happily. Twilight starts to get a little sheepsh and is trying to nervously explains, "Um actually…" Sunset takes a closer observance at this Celestia and realize that this Celestia is very familiar to her more than anyone else. Sunset's eyes widen and surprisingly says, "Princess Celestia?! Is that you?" "Yes Sunset it is me," Princess Celestia answers calmly. Sunset's friend are very shocked to see that the pony version of Celestia has come to Canterlot High. The Human Twilight is also surprised that the pony version of her brother and sister in law have come here. As things haven't got awkward enough a familiar voice calls, "Girls." "Uh oh," The girls say worriedly for recognizing the voice. They all turn to see Principal Celestia coming up to them, which is Princess Celestia's human counterpart. When Principal Celestia comes up to them, she says, "I been hearing things from students and faculty that there are two student are at campus with a baby and hear that 4 more people and a dog had showed up and…" Principal Celestia look over to see that there is another her in different clothes staring right in front of her. Sunset and the girls experience a deja vu because this happened when Princess Twilight met her human counterpart after the Friendship Games. "Is this something I should be aware of," Principal Celestia asks still in shock. Sunset comes up to her and scaredly says, "Principal Celestia we… we can explain." Principal Celestia then takes some time to calm herself down after the shock. Principal Celestia firmly says, "Well, (cough, cough) It will be better if we discuss this matter in my office." Everyone in the group agree this is a good idea to discuss this in a private place, since every student in the cafeteria are staring at them and are surprised to see two Celestia's in one place. "Wow! And I thought this day couldn't get any better," Pinkie happily says. Everyone simply rolls their eyes after Pinkie saying that statement. With that, Everyone starts to head to Principal Celestia's office to explain to them what is going on before things get too confusing.
