//------------------------------// // Chapter 23: Sun's Memorable Day // Story: The Lost Shimmering Sun // by Pinkie Pie Sweets //------------------------------// After a few days of packing: Sun and her family are ready for their trip, but first, Sun needs to go to the doctor to talk about her memory problem. Discord is driving, Screwball is playing on her phone, and Sun is sleeping next to Screwball. For some reason Sun has been feeling a bit tired the past few days and think it has something to do with her dreams. When they reach the doctor's office, Screwball turns to Sun and use her hand to shake her on the shoulder saying, "Sun wake up." Sun eyes starts to open after hearing Screwball's voice and can see her sister smiling at her. Sun asks, "Are we here?" "Yes we are," Screwball answers with a smile. Sun wakes up and gets out of the car along with Discord and Screwball to the doctor's office. Checking themselves in, they are simply waiting in the waiting room for the doctor to call her. Screwball is busy playing with some of the toys they have while Discord and Sun are sitting on one of the chairs waiting Screwball play. Sun is still unsure about the doctor appointment, but knows it's supposed to help her with her memory issues and the dreams she's been having. Discord can tell that Sun is kind of nervous and he is right about it. Sun turns to discord and asks, "Dad, who am I going to see? "Believe it or not she is actually the wife of an old friend of mine," Discord answers. "She is," Sun says sounds surprised. "Yes and she is one of the best doctors here," Discord adds. Just then, a nurse comes through the door and says, "Sun the doctor will see you now." Sun and her family hears Sun's name being called and follow the nurse to one of the rooms. The nurse checks Sun's weight, height, heart beats, blood pressure, and temperature before the doctor can see her. After writing down the report, Sun, Discord and Screwball wait inside the room for the doctor to come in the room. Just then the doctor comes in. She has has purple like skin, light blue hair, light blue eyes. She is hearing a white lab coat, a blue dress, with black flats and tights, and she has a gold yellow pin that looks like a snake like staff on her coat. "Hello Sun. My name is Doctor Radiant Hope, it's very nice to meet you," The doctor replies. "Hi," Sun says feeling a bit shy. Radiant Hope Sit in front of Sun and says, "Now Sun, I understand that you were experiencing some memory relapse." "Yes." Sun sadly admits. Radiant Hope puts her hand on Sun's shoulder to comfort her and says, "Nothing to worry too much about, having memory relapse is a side effect when having amnesia." Then Hope says, "Now I'm going to ask you some questions about what is going on in your mind and I like to know what kind of memories are you seeing and how you feel about them." "Okay," Sun replies. Hope then turns to Discord and Screwball. Then she asks, "If it's alright if I can talk to Sun in private. I'll make sure to talk to you about the results after we're done." "Okay," Disord answers sounding a bit confused. Then with that, Discord and Screwball leaves the room giving Sun and Hope some alone time to talk. Sun turns to Hope and asks, "Why did you ask them to leave?" "Well, I feel it might give you some time to think straight so you won't feel pressured when there more than one person with you in the room?" Hope explains. Sun is not sure about it, but she can tell that Hope is very kind and helpful. Sun decides to give Hope's suggestion a chance and answer Hope's question as good as she can possibly can. Then Hop starts to ask her questions about her life and about the memories she's been seeing in her dreams. Hope asks, "Now how long have you been experiencing some these visions in your dreams." "Once in awhile… I guess," Sun answers sounding unsure. "Now how do you feel when you are experiencing them," Hope asks calmly. "Some of them makes me happy , but at the same time makes me sad, and… some of the memories actually scare me and it's horrible," Sun explains as she show how a different memory makes her feel. "I see," Hope replies. For the past two hour or so, Sun has to explain to her about some of the things she has when she remembers. She even had to explain to her about the stuff that she has and she couldn't remember when she got them from. Radiant Hop is understanding the kind of problem that she has, especially the part of unable to remember much about her parents. After the questioning, Hope has the result and says, "Sounds to me that some of the memories are showing are the good time and some of the bad times." "Yes and some of them were really scary," Sun adds feeling a bit worried and scared. "It seems to me that your were also experiencing of the time that happened before you came to Canterlot High and causing you to have some fear and sadness," Hope verifies. "Oh," Sun replies sadly. Hope can tell Sun is still a little sad and worried, Hope calmly says, "Don't worry. As long as you have the one who cares for you I'm sure you will prosper." "Thanks," Sun says feeling a bit better. Hope help escort Sun to her family. Screwball gives Sun a hug after seeing her. After that Discord tells the girls to go to the car while he has a talk with Hop. "Is there anything we can do for her," Discord asks. "Sun will be experiencing some more memory relapse. All you can do is be there for her and try to make calm her if she experiencing any memory that is upsetting her," Hope answers. "Thank you doctor," Discord replies feeling grateful. "You're welcome," Hope replies with a smile. Before Discord leaves, Hope takes out a card and says, "I also recommend that Sun should have another appointment with me next month." Discord takes the card and says, "Thank you." After the conversation, Discord goes back to the car and leaves the doctor office with Sun and Screwball. After the doctor: Discord, Screwball, and Sun are in the car and are going to do some activities. They are planning on doing some more shopping for Sun and get some stuff that Sun might need for herself and other needs. Then Discord says, "How about we go get some lunch. Then we'll do a little shopping for Sun here." "For what?" Sun asks sounding confused. "Well, for one thing: you need a phone," Screwball answers the reason. "Oh!" Sun replies understanding why a phone should be needed. She remember seeing her friends have then and the last time she been separated from her friends, she doesn't have a phone to call for help. She thinks a phone can come handy for lots of thing. She just need to learn how to use it. Then Sun asks, "Do you think I need anything else for myself?" "Well for one thing is a new backpack," Screwball answers. "And a new computer or a laptop is another thing," Discord adds. "Hey dad, do you think we can get the Daring Do series for Sun?" Screwball suggests. "Sure," Discord agrees. Sun smile and says, "Okay, but first I can use something to eat." "So where are we going to have lunch at," Screwball asks. "Don't worry girls you'll love it and you are able to have something you like," Discord replies sounding so sure of where they are going. After some time driving: They reach to a restaurant that is fill with come food moving on a conveyor belt and people are grabbing the food when they are reaching to their table. Sun can also see that this is something she never seen before. She can see that some people were eating with sticks and not with forks. "What is this place?" Sun asks sounding very curious. "This is a Revolving Sushi Restaurant," Discord answers. Sun is kind of confused on Sushi. Sun has never heard of sushi before so she doesn't know what it is. Sun asks, "Sushi? What's Sushi?" "Sushi is a cold dish. They have rice, seaweed and you and put whatever you want in there like vegetables, eggs, and raw fish," Screwball explains. "Raw Fish?" Sun replies sounding a bit surprised. Sun can imagine that raw fish means that the fish isn't cooked. She is wonder how can anyone eat something that is not cooke. To her, it's doesn't sound very good. She feels a bit nauseous and says, "I don't think that sounds very good." "I know you're a vegetarian, but you can have vegetable sushi," Screwball says letting her know of the food she can seet. "I'm glad about that. It's just… raw fish doesn't sound very… tasty." Sun replies feeling a bit sick think about eating raw fish. Then Discord says, "Don't worry it won't make people sick or anything." Sun sighs feeling calm and says, "It's good," "So let's go eat," Screwball says cheerfully. With that a waitress comes over to Sun and her family to take them to their table. When they reach their table, they sit down at their table. They tell the waitress what drink do they want and the waitress left to go fetch them. Just then, Sun hears a familiar voice screaming, "Hi Sun!" Sun turns around to see Pinkie Pie. Pinkie is next to her table and she is with five other people. She can tell that they all must be her family. Sun walks to Pinkie's table and says, "Hi Pinkie, what are you doing here?" "Having lunch with my family." Pinkie answers cheerfully. Pinkie then decides to introduce Sun to her family. Pinkie happily introduces, "Sun this is my whole family. My father Igneous Rock Pie, my mother Cloudy Quartz Pie, my oldest sister Limestone Pie, my second oldest sister Maud Pie, and finally my youngest sister Marble Pie." Everyone except for Limestone and Marble wave to Sun saying hello. Limestone just give her a smile and a thumbs to show her way to say hello. Marble pie just blushes a little saying hi. Sun is kind of amazed seeing a big family Pinkie has. Sun says, "Wow! I never knew you have some many sisters." "Yeah. I'm glad to have that many sisters," Pinkie says cheerfully. Just then one of Pinkie sisters, Maud, face Sun while sitting on the table says, "Hey." "Hey," Sun replies back. Then Sun notice a small rock on the table. Sun is curious about a rock with Pinkie's sister. Sun asks, "What's that?" "This is my pet rock. His name is Boulder." Maud answers while holding her rock. Sun is kind of confused to say hello to a rock at first, but can see that Boulder must be special to Maud. Sun says, "Nice to meet you Boulder." Maud then puts her pet rock on her ear. Sun is kind of confused about it and beginning to think that is how she hears her rock. Then Maud says, "He says hi." Sun is kind of confused on how MAud acts like the rock can talk, but figures Maud has her reasons. She is also starting to notice that Pinkie is rather different than everyone else in her family, then again she is living with two people who knows about having fun and creating chaos in their different way. Then Sun says, "It's very nice to meet your family, but I need to get back to my table and I'm kind of hungry." "Okay. Have a fun summer," Pinkie says cheerfully. "You too Pinkie," Sun replies happily. Sun gets back on her table and can see that the drinks are already here. Then Discord and Screwball starts to grab their food from the conveyor belt. Sun is very curious of seeing so many food moving past her. She isn't sure on what food to get or to know what kind of food they are. Sun asks, "Why are all these plates of food on a moving table?" "Easy, the sushi is on a conveyor belt so people can chose what kind of sushi they want. There are also some desserts and other food for you to eat, like pudding, ice cream, and some cake," Screwball explains. "Sounds interesting," Sun says feeling interested about the conveyor belt carrying the food around the restaurant. "I know, right," Screwball says happily. The Screwball continue to eat her lunch looks around to see some sticks on the table. She picks them up and looks a bit confused on what to use them for. Sun asks. "What are these things?" "They're chopsticks," Discord answers. "Chopsticks?" Sun says with confused. "Chopsticks are used for eating, like this," Screwball answers. Sun then tries to use the chopstick like how Screwball is using them, but she is having trouble using them. She can't seem to hold them at all. "I can't seem to use this," Sun says with frustration. "Don't worry, you can use a fork or your hands for now," Screwball replies. "Okay," Sun says. Screwball then takes an egg sushi from the conveyor belt and puts it in front of Sun. Screwball says, "Here, have an egg sushi." Sun is unsure about having the sushi. She never eat sushi before, but the way Discord and Screwball are happily eating them, she can tell that they like them So she decides to give the sushi a try. When Sun Starts to eat the sushi, Sun can tell that the egg sushi is sweet and cold, but it's very good. Sun happily says, "It's good." "Knew you love it," Discord replies happily. "And there are some vegetable sushi coming too," Screwball informs Sun. Sun sees a sushi that has some vegetable in them, so she takes the sushi from the moving conveyor belt and starts to eat the sush. She thinks it taste good too. "Yum!" Sun says happily and continues to eat her vegetable sushis. Discord and Screwball can see that Sun is enjoying eating sushi. Then Discord says, "Now remember girls we still have two days to double check our thing to make sure we're ready for our vacation." "Yes dad," Sun and Screwball answers with smile on their faces. Then Screwball happily says,"I'm so excited." "Me too. I will be more excited if I know where we're going," Sun replies happily. "Remember Sun, daddy says it's a surprise," Screwball says reminding Sun of the surprised trip. "I know," Sun replies happily. After they have their lunch, they gone to the mall. Sun is amazed to see so many stores. During the shopping, Sun is able to get a phone, a laptop with a case, and a bag for herself. Hey also gone to some stores to see check some stuff in the stores. Sun also got some books for herself as well. They also go to get some snack they might need for the trip, since their trip is going to be a long one. After getting all the things Sun might need, they went home and have dinner. After having dinner Sun is up stairs in her room and she is reading one of the she has. Sun is glad that she gets to spend some times with her family, but can't get over the memoires she's been seeing lately. Sun says to herself, "I wonder who those beings were from last night. I felt like I know them, but I can't seem to remember them at all." Sun then looks at her necklace and says, "One thing I do know.. Is that you're given from someone who means a lot to me and the song was from someone who meant to me as well." Sun then takes the book she has and decides to look inside it. She remember that it looks like a book, but she feels like something is different about the book. Even though she may not remember a lot about herself, she knows that she always have her friends and family. Sun then puts her book back in her draw and decides to go to sleep for the night. She also know that her family vacation will be coming in another two days and excited to see what kind of vacation they're going to have.
