Chapter 34: Cafe Conversation

It's been a few weeks since Sun receives a message from her journal. She is kind of interested that the book can send messages to someone and be able to have a message sends back. She hasn't received it yet, she figure the person 'Twilight Sparkle' must be busy with activities that goes on in her life. During that time, Sun is still having some strange dreams lately. The night before, she dreams about her looking into a mirror showing her having a horn and glowing wings. She hasn't been able to figure out what the dream is about, but it might have something to do with her past life.

After she finished with school, she decides to have some time for herself walking around town. She can see that there must be different places she hasn't been to before. She finds herself at the entrance to Cinnamon Chai Tea and Cake shop which is also a small cafe. Sun walks inside and cit down at a seat by the entrance.

As she takes her seat, Sun hears her phone ringing and decides to see who it is. When she looks on her phone, she can see that her dad is calling.

Sun picks up the phone and says, "Hi dad, how are you and Screwball doing?"

"We're doing fine. Screwy told me that you decided to walk around town and I'm going to pick you up on my at the store." Discord says.

"Sure. I'm only going to have a snack and drink here and maybe do some homework," Sun replies.

Then Discord says over the phone, "Okay, just tell me where you are and I'll pick you up after shopping."

"I'm at the Cinnamon Chai Tea and Cake shop," Sun answers.

"Okay. Screw and I will pick you up soon. See you later," Discord replies on the phone.

"Sure. I'll wait here until you come, bye," Sun says.

Sun hangs up the phone and puts it back in her backpack. Sun looks at the menu to see what kind of food and drinks the shop has. As she put ther stuff away a waitress comes over with a pad and pencil.

The waitress says, "Hello dearie, what can I get you?"

Sun looks towards the waitress and says, "I'll have a lemon muffin and some blueberry tea,"

"Sure thing" The waitress says as she write the items down on the pad.

The waitress leave back to the kitchen so she can give her Sun's order. Sun decides it will be a good time to start to do some of her homework for school. As she takes her books, pencils, and notebooks from her backpack, she notice that three girls are walking inside. She's having trouble making out their faces, but she can see the beautiful pendants they are wearing.

She says in her thoughts, "Wow! They have nice necklaces. They kind of remind me of mine."

As the three mysterious beings are walking by, Sun notice one of them drop their wallet on the ground. Sun thinks it will be the right thing to give the wallet back to her, so the person won't worry about.

Sun picks up the wallet and then she head to one of the girls and says, "Excuse me."

The girl turns to Sun with a straight face. She can see that Sun has her wallet and is giving back to her.

Sun hands her the wallet and says, "You dropped this."

The girls grabs the wallet and with a straight face says, "Thanks."

"You're welcome," Sun replies with a smile.

The girls walks towards the other two and sit down with them. Sun is kind of disturb that the girl's attitude, but glad to return her wallet to her. Sun sits at the place where her stuff is at and decides to do her homework while waiting for her snack and her dad to pick her up.

While Sun is doing her homework, the three beings she seen earlier start to sing and their necklaces start to glow. As they start singing, everyone in the room start to argue and yell at each other. However, Sun seems to be the only one that is not fighting with anyone. Sun then notice the people arguing around her and have no idea how it happen. Instead, she decides to continue her homework. As the three girls sings, they start to absorb the green smoke that represent the people negative emotions and energy into their pendants.

After the three beings sing, the girls have as much as they can for right now and stop singing for a while.

One of the girls take of her hood since they are finished. The girls has yellow like skin, magenta eyes, and large puffy orange hair with yellow highlights. She has it in a ponytail and she's wearing a headband that has dark purple spike on it.

She says, "So Aria, how did you enjoying our little time?"

The girl who is name Aria, takes off her hoof as she says, "I think this is barely worth the effort Adagio."

The girls Aria have a light pink like skin, purple eyes, and purple like hair with green blue highlight. Her hair is in pigtail by two star hairbands. The last one takes off her hood to reveal her face and hair. The girl is a light cyan blue color, with magenta eyes, and sky blue hair with dark blue highlight. Her hair is in a ponytail by a dark blue hairband she is wearing.

AS they are think on what to do next, Aria can see Sun from the other side of the cafe and notice something odd. She can see that Sun isn't fighting with anyone. Instead she is writing her homework and reading her books.

Aria looks at her with confused look and says, "Is it just me or is that girl the only one not fighting in here?"

The girls with the blue hair asks, "What girl?"

"That one over there, Sonata. The one with the fiery hair," Aria says.

The two girls, Adagio and Sonata look to where Aria is seeing the girls, and they are surprised to see that Sun isn't fighting or releasing any negative energy. Adagio is very suspicious as to why Sun isn't fighting with anyone.

Sonata surprisingly says, "You're right. she's not yelling or screaming at anyone."

"You think," Aria bluntly replies.

"But why," Sonata asks.

Aria rolls her eyes and answers, "Sonata it's obvious. This girl is not under our spell for some reason."

Just then Adagio start to feel something odd from Sun, something familiar. The her pendent starts to respond to it and glow.

Adagio looks at her pendants and then she looks at sun.

She surprisingly says, "That's not possible."

Adagio then realize that this something knows that this is something she never expect to find here and within one person. She make a smirk on her face while looking at Sun.

She turns to her sisters and says, "Do you know what this means?"

Aria and Sonata look at Sun again to see what Adagio is talking about. They then look at Adagio while shaking their heads, meaning they have no idea what she is seeing. Adagio groans as she facepalm her head, she wonder how can not feel it. Then again she figure it's been a long time since they feel that kind of energy.

Adagio seriously says, "She must have Equestrian magic."

"But no one in this world have Equestrian magic," Aria remarks with a blunt look

"There's one now," Adagio replies with an a grin on her face.

She then turns to Sun as she says to her sisters, "We need to keep an eye on her."

"But why?" Aria asks looking bored.

"She seems very nice," Sonata replies with smile.

"And it doesn't seem to be aware that she has one," Adagio says.

"What do you mean?" Sonata asks.

"Well she does have magic, either she's from Equestria or she somehow obtain their magic. Her magic is strong, but it seems to be… locked up," Adagio explains.

Aria and Sonata questionably says, "Locked up?"

"Like something within her must be blocking her magic," Adagio explains.

"Like what?" Aria asks.

Adagion then gets off of her seat as she says, "Why don't we go over to her and find out."

Then she continues walking to where Sun is sitting. Her sister follow her and see if they figure out something about her. Sun has just finished with one of her assignments and decides to put her things back in her bag so she can take a break. After putting her stuff away, she ntocie that the three girls from earlier are in front of her head.

Sun questionably asks, "Um, can I help you?"

Adagio smiles at her and says, "Actually you can. I'm hoping to ask you something."

Sun nods her head and says, "Sure. By the way, my name is Sun. What are your names?"

"My name is Adagio Dazzle," Adagio says.

"Aria Blaze," Aria says with serious look.

"Hi I'm Sonata Dusk! It's very nice to meet you!" Sonata says cheerfully.

Adagio and Aria rolls their eyes and look kind of annoyed by Sonata's methods on introduction.

Adagio sits down next to Sun and says, "You have to excuse her. She can be energetic."

"And an idiot," Aria mutters as she takes the seat on the other side of the table. .

Sonata hears what Aria says as she takes a seat next to .and stick her tongue at her.

Sun giggles a bit and says, "That's okay. I have a friend just like Sonata, she's very nice and can be energetic sometimes."

Aria sighs with annoyance and says, "You mean there's more than one who acts like Sonata around here. That's just great."

Sun is kind of confused about Aria tone she uses. She remember she has done the same thing with her earlier.

She turns to Adagio and asks, "Is she always like?"

"Regretfully, yes," Adagio says with annoyance as she narrow her eyes.

Sun can tell that Adagion is kind of annoyed by her sister's attitude. Sun decides to just forget about it and get along with the question Adagio wants to ask.

"So what is it you want to ask me?" Sun replies.

Adagio decides to calm herself down and says, "Well, it's kind of a silly question, but does the name Equestria mean anything to you?"

"Equestria? Equestria?" Sun questionably says as if she remember hearing that name before.

She tries to think of the word Equestria. The name downs sound familiar to her, but she can't seem to remember what Equestria means to her. The girls look at Sun and are starting to notice that Sun seems to be having trouble remembering about Equestria.

Sun faces ths girls and sadly says, "I'm sorry the name does sounds familiar, but I'm afraid can't remember. In fact, I can't remember anything before I was found here."

"You can't remember anything?" Sonata questionably says.

"Not really," Sun says as she nods her head.

"But you seem to remember your name," Aria replies looking annoyed,

Sun shakes her head slowly and says, "Actually, Sun isn't really my real name. Sun is the name my adopted father gave to me."

Aria sighs with annoyance and says, "So you have a major amnesia or something?"

"Aria," Adagio says while narrowing her eyes.

But then sun says, "It's okay. I do have amnesia. I kind of… got hit by a car and I woke up not being able to remembering anything about my past."

Sonata gasps with horror and says, "What?! Oh that so terrible,"

"But I was able to get through it with the help of my friends and my new family, so there isn't much to be worried about," Sun replies letting the girls know that she's seems to be find.

As Sun explain to them about her life. Adagion is getting suspicious about Sun and understand what is going on and whi her magic seems to be locked up.

Adagion says in her thoughts, "I can tell from her eyes. She is telling the truth. She can't remember anything from her past. If she really is from Equestria then she can't remember being there either."

Before Adagion can push any farther a voice comes out and says, "Excuse me."

The girls turn to see the waitress from earlier and she has cup beverage and a muffin.

Sun says, "Yes."

"Here is your drink and muffin," The waitress says.

The waitress put the drink and the muffin where Sun is sitting.

Sun says, "Thank you."

The the waitress turns to Adagion and the girls and says, "And can I get you girls anything."

"Sure. I'll have a mint tea please," Adagio answers.

"I'll have a coffee," Aria replies.

"And I'll have some milk and a chocolate chip cookie," Sonata says happily.

"Okay," The waitress says as she write the info on her notebook.

After the waitress leaves, Adagio thinks it will be a good time to have a private meeting with her sisters.

Adagio turns to Sun and says, "The girls and I need to talk about something, so give us a few minutes."

"Sure," Sun replies.

Adagio and her sister walk outside to get a little air and to talk about their interaction with Sun.

"So what is it?" Arai asks.

"That girl definitely have Equestrian magic. I… I can feel it," Adagio explains.

"I do too," Sonata replies.

Aria rolls her eyes and says, "So the girls has magic. She is not under our spell how exactly are we supposed to get to her magic."

"That's just it, we can't," Adagio explains.

Aria and Sonata looks at Adagio and replies, "Huh!"

"Not right now I mean," Adagio adds.

Adagio looks at Sun who is eating her muffin and having her tea at the table she is at.

She turns to her sisters and says, "It's possible that when she lost her memory, it some how manages to keep the magic she has inside from fully exposing herself."

Aria scratches her chin as she says, "Yeah. I can sense powerful magic, but only a little bit."

Then Sonata says, "She may be powerful, but I like her. She seems very sweet."

"So what do we do about it?" Aria asks.

"We just let her be on her way and maybe someday she will release her magic," Adagio says.

Then Sonata says, "But until then, let's hang out with her some more and have our snack."

With that Sonata walks inside to go sit down with Sun. Adagio and Aria are still a bit annoyed by their sister behavior and cluelessness. Then they simply walk back inside with Sonata so they can get inside. When they are back inside and sitting down, the waitress arrives with their drinks and Sonata's cookie.

Sonata smiles and says, "So Sun, what kind of stuff do you remember?"

Sun starts to think about the memories she recalls, but some of them might be too unbelievable for her.

She then says, "Well, I can't say for sure about it, but I remember something from last night."

Sonata happily says, "Ooh, tell us and don't skip out on the details."

"Don't you think you're pushing it little?" Adagio asks.

"Yeah. you don't want her to think you're the worst," Aria says.

Then Sonata says, "You are."

Then Adagio angrily says, "Will you two cut it out?!"

Sun cuts in and says, "Come on guys, don't fight. I understand that it can be hard having arguments and disagreements with sibling, but try not to make it too loud."

"Finally! Someone agrees with me," Adagio replies.

Aria turns to Sun and says, "You're right. Now spill girl."

"And don't leave out any good details," Sonata adds with a smile.

Sun starts to think about the dream she has last night and tries very hear to remember it.

She then says, "I remember starting at a mirror. I looked into a reflection and saw myself as a unicorn with wings. I think it shows what kind of future I will have someday. The mirror is is kind of a purple color and has a symbol of a pony on it. I think the mirror it's also made if crystals too."

As the girls listen to Sun's story, Adagio looks at Sun with a surprised look on her face. She remember about a magical mirror that send her and her sister here. Adagio realized that it can only mean one thing, her suspicions is right.

After Sun finish explaining her dream, she says, "I know it sounds a bit strange, but that is something I remember,"

Sonata smiles and says, "Don't worry, I sometime forget about things too, but I remember them.

"Sonata, you can't even remember what you have for breakfast," Aria says with annoyance.

Sonata huff and turn her head away from Aria. Sun can see that the sisters seem to be having some trouble getting along, but can see they manage to stick together. After she finished her muffin and drink, the waitress, walks up and give their receipt. Sun puts the money down on the table and a tip for their service. She then sees her dad and her sister in the car ready to pc9ik her up.

Sun turns to the girls and says, "I kind of need to go, my is here to pick me up."

"Okay, we'll see you another time," Sonata replies.

"Sure," Sun says.

She then gets up from her seat and walk to go with her dad back home.

She turns to the sisters still sitting on the table and says, " Bye."

Sonata waves her hand and says, "Bye."

She walks outside of the shop and say hi to her dad and sister. When Sun gets inside the car, Discord drives away from the shop and are going home now.

Adagio takes out some money from her wallet and place it on the table. The girls are still having their drinks and snack. Arai notice that her sister is looking a bit strange.

"So, what do you think of her story or dream,"Aria asks as she takes a sip of her coffee.

Adagio looks at her drink and says, "I don't know what to make of it, but one thing I do know, she is definitely from Equestria."

Sonata asks, "How can you tell?"

"That mirror she talked about. I think it's the same one Starswirl used to banished us to this world," Adagio explains.

"Don't remind me," Aria replies with annoyance.

Then Adagio says, "Something must have happened before she came her and she lost her memory in the process."

"I feel sorry for her. She seems to be a very nice girl," Sonata replies.

"So what do we now," Aria asks.

"Well, I think when she regains more of her memory her magic will get stronger, so I'll we can do is wait," Adagio explains.

With that the girls decides to be patient and hopefully they'll meet Sun again and she might regain more of her memories. One thing they also know, Sun has come into this world the same way they arrive here.

Later into the night, Sun has finished her homework and have dinner for the night. Sun is now in her pajamas and is getting ready for bed. She looks at her journal and see that no one has reply yet. Sun decides to go back to bed and hopefully feel better tomorrow.
