by Pinkie Pie Sweets


Chapter 41: A Jewel Full of Memories

It's been a few weeks since Sun and her friends help the Blue Lady find peace and her butterfly friends and things have been doing well even if there's been a lot of rain lately. On a rainy day, Sun is simply staring outside the window watching the rain falling down from the sky. She is also very bored and don't know what to do for her time. Sun and Screwball are staying at home while their dad have gone to the grocery store to get something they need to make dinner.

Screwball can see that her sister is staring at the wet window for some time down and wants to help her. She decides to come over and see what's bothering her.

Screwball walks over to Sun and asks, "Hey sis, why the long face?"

"I don't know. I'm just a little bored because of the rain," Sun answers and then sigh of boredom.

"I know the rain is very boring and it make everything gloomy outside," Screwball answers looking a bit dull at the rain.

Sun then turns to her little sister and asks, "So, what do you want to on a sunday morning?"

"We can play video games," Screwball answers.

"I guess, but we already played a lot of video games plenty of times," Sun answers while staring at the window.

Screwball is trying to think of an idea of what to do. She ends up coming up with nothing to so. Sun has no idea what to do in this dreary day either. Just then Screwball stomach starts to growl indicating that she is getting hungry.

Screwball blush by noticing her stomach and says, "I'm getting hungry thinks we can make some homemade cookies."

Sun smiles as she look at her sister and says, "I guess it will be a good idea. It's also nice to same something warm during the rain."

"So let's do it," Screwball says with a smile.

With that, Sun and Screwball make sure they have everything they need to make some cookies. They both decide to make some chocolate chip cookies since it's Screwball's favorite. After getting the things they need to make the cookies, fixed their hair so it won't get into the food, having aprons on, washing their hands, and other needs, they are ready to make some cookies.

They have done the instructions on the cookies and they are looking great. As the sisters make the cookies, Screwball can see Sun wearing that necklace like she always does. Screwball knows that the necklace Sun has been wearing has been with her for a very long time and hardly takes it off.

Screwball turns to her sister and says, "Say Sun."

"Yes Screwball," Sun replies.

"How come you wear that necklace all the time," Screwball asks.

Sun looks at her necklace and questionably says, "My necklace?"

"Yeah. You have it for a very long time and you almost never take it off for anything," Screwball says as she put the chocolate chip in the batter.

Sun start mixing the chocolate chips in the batter as she says, "Oh, I guess I never told you much about it. Not much I can remember anyway."

"Yeah. So why do you wear it all the time?" Screwball asks curiously.

After mixing the batter, Sun starts to hold her necklace with a smile and says, "I guess the reason why is because of a lot of things."

Screwball questionably asks, "Like what?"

Sun smiles and explains, "Well, I have this before I can ever remember my past. Even though I don't remember much about it, I can tell it means a lot to me."

Screwball starts to get interested and asks, "Is there anything else you can tell me about?"

"I remember one of my dreams that someone gave me this necklace on my birthday. I also remember that the one gave me this necklace actually made it herself. I can tell this necklace means a lot and I never want to lose it," Sun explains as she remembers about the necklace.

Screwball is kind of amazed to hear Sun talk about the goodness of her necklace. She can tell that the necklace really means alot to her sister and wish.

Screwball says with amazement, "Wow! I can understand how important the necklace is to you"

"Yes. It does," Sun answers and she holds the charm on it.

Screwball asks curiously, "But Sun, do you think you will ever regain your memory?"

"I think that something I need to find for myself," Sun answers.

Then Screwball sadly asks, "And if you ever do, would you still be my sister?"

Sun hugs Screwball and happily says, "Of course I will. I will always be your sister no matter what happens."

Screwball can tell that Sun is very honest about it. Even if Sun will get her memory back, she will always be Sun to her.

Screwball hugs Sun back and happily says, "Glad that you're my big sister Sun."

"I'm glad too," Sun replies happily.

After their happy moment and hug, Sun and Screwball look to see that they have finished with all the ingredients and put them all in the dough.

Sun happily says, "Now that the cookie dough is finished, we can put them in the oven so they can be backed."

"I can't wait to have the chocolate chip cookies!" Screwball cheers.

"Me too," Sun says with a smile.

After getting the dough on the pans. They have made enough cookies to fill three cookie sheets. Then they put one of them in the oven and set the time so it will be ready.

After setting the timer, Sun turns to her sister and says, "Now, all we have to do is wait for them to be done."

"Aww, I don't like waiting," Screwball complains a little.

"I know, but it's worth it when the cookies are done. We can spend that time by cleaning up a little in the kitchen," Sun says with a smile.

Screwball nods her head and says, "Okay."

With that, the two sisters start to clean up the kitchen since they are using it earlier. They make sure to do the dishes and clean the tables. As they clean, the cookies has been baking, when the timer is done that means the cookies are done. After some time, they finished cleaning the kitchen and still have one cookie sheet full of cookie dough in the oven.

"Now that we're finished with the dishes, all we need to do is wait for dad to come back," Sun replies with a smile.

Just as they sit on the table in the dining room, Screwball asks, "So Sun, can I take a closer look at your necklace."

"Sure," Sun answers.

She then takes off her necklace and pass it to her sister. Screwball can see the nice two different color yellow gems on the golden shape sun golden chain attached to it. Even though it's half of it, it looks very pretty.

"It's really pretty," Screwball says amazed by the shine of the necklace.

"Yeah. It has very nice colors," Sun says.

Screwball then pass the necklace back to her sister. Then Sun puts it back on. But as she puts her necklace back on, something about the necklace that is making Sun remember something from one of her dreams.

She then turns to her sister and says with a questionably look,"But you know, something does strike me as odd."

"What's that?" Screwball asks.

Sun looks at her necklace and says, "It's just… I remember in one of my dreams… this necklace has two charms on it."

"Two charms?" Screwball questionably replies.

Sun nods her head and says, "Yes. There's the one with the two yellow color like the one on my neck. But… in my dream there's another charm that has a red color."

"Red?" Screwball says looking confused.

"Yes. And when these two are put together, it creates the shimmering sun that's on my shirt and my book," Sun explain.

"And on the jewelry box I gave to you," Screwball adds with a smile.

"Right," Sun answers with a small smile.

"So, do you have any idea what happened to the other one?" Screwball asks.

Sun looks at her necklace sadly and says, "I don't know, but… I kind of have an idea of what happened to it."

"What is it?" Screwball asks curiously.

Sun sighs sadly and explains, "I remember that in another one of my dreams I was in a terrible fire. I was able to give a signal to warn someone about the fire, but I tripped and went through the mirror. I suspect the other one of the necklace must have fallen off my neck the lace when I fell."

"And you don't fully remember where the fire was?" Screwball sadly asks.

Sun shakes her head sadly and says, "I don't."

Screwball can tell that Sun still doesn't remember everything that has happened to her. She remembers her dad telling her about Sun's memories that's seems to mostly come up when she's dreaming. It also seems to be showing her about the event that has happened to her before she first arrives at CHS when she, Gilda, Lightning Dust, and Rarity's family have met her.

Then Screwball sadly asks, "So what do we do about it?"

Sun look at her sister with a concerned look and says, "I just need to wait for my memory to come back and see if I fully remember what happened."

"Guess there's not much we can do," Screwball replies.

"No," Sun answers.

Sun and Screwall both already know that her memory is still a mystery to them. Even though Sun has been keeping track in one of her journals, some of her memories are a bit confusing to them. Screwball then remember something she remembers and wants to ask her.

Screwball looks at her sister and says, "By the way, the girls told me you got a mysterious pen pal."

"Yes I did," Sun answers.

"Did she ever message you back?" Screwball asks.

"As a matter a fact, I just received the message from Twilight just two weeks ago, but I have trouble understanding it and not sure what to write to her yet," Sun answers.

"What did she said?" Screwball asks.

Sun starts to look confused and says, "She said that she has friends that has the same name as my friends, and have siblings that have the same name too."

Screwball look a bit confused and says, "That's strange."

"I know, but I think she's telling the truth," Sun replies.

"Yeah. She seems to be very nice," Screwball says.

Sun starts to think about what she wants to reply about her able and some reason not much comes to mind.

She then has an idea and says, "I think I should write to her and write to her about our discussion and about my necklace."

Screwball smiles and says, "Good idea."

Sun then says, "For some strange reason, I have a feeling that Twilight may know something about me and my past, but because my memories is still a bit blank, it's hard to tell her."

Screwball hugs her sister with a smile and says. "Try what ever you can and see what she says."

"Good idea," Sun says.

Just then, the timer goes off on the clock on the stove and hear the cookies are done. Sun wants to go write the letter but first they need to get the cookies out of the oven.

Screwball starts to walk to the kitchen and says, "I'll get the cookies out of the oven while you get the book from your room."

"Okay," Sun says in reply.

Sun leaves to go in her room to get the book while her sister get the cookies out of the oven. After getting the cookies taken care off, Sun and Screwball are at the dining table with the book Sun has. Screwball watches Sun and she turns to book to an empty page and grabs her pen to start writing.

Screwball asks, "Ready to write."

"I am," Sun answers with a smile.

Shen then start to write in the book as she says in her thoughts,"

Dear Twilight,

How are you doing at your home. I'm doing fine right now. Today it's raining where I'm living and I'm have some quality time with my sister, Screwball. We made some cookies and we were talking about my past a little more and about my special necklace.

You see, I have a sun necklace that has two different yellow color gems on it. But in some of my dreams I have another one that is a red color gems on it. I don't remember much where it is, but I remember that I lost it when I was in that awful fire. I also remember that it was given to me by someone who I think it my original mother.

I really like to know what you think and hope you will get back to me soon.

Your friend,

Sun"

After finishing writing the entry in her journal, sun close it and place back on the table. Sun wishes that Twilight will reply soon to see what she thinks.

Screwball asks as she look at the book, "Think Twilight will reply?"

"Maybe not right away, but I'm sure that she'll be able to write to me soon," Sun answers.

"Okay," Screwball replies while nodding her head.

She then gets up and start heading to the kitchen as she says, "Now that is done, how about we have some cookies?"

Sun giggles a bit and says, "Okay Screwy."

After washing their hands and getting some milk, Sun and Screwball are enjoying some cookies they have made and they taste great. One of the reasons why is because Sun has been doing a great job at Granny Smith's cooking class with Applejack and Pinkie helping her too.

Screwball smiles as she eat the cookies and says, "They taste delicious."

"They sure do," Sun says with a smile.

"And it's because of the amazing cooking skills of Sun and Screwball," Screwball says with pride.

Sun giggles," I guess you can say that. All we do is follow the recipe and made them with love like how Pinkie taught me."

"I know," Screwball says with a smile.

Just then, the door opens and their dad has come through the door with the groceries.

Discord says, "Girls! I'm home!"

Sun and Screwball walk to where their dad is and says, "Hi dad."

"How was the trip?" Screwball asks.

"Wet and windy out side. I manage to get the groceries inside,"Discord answers while taking the groceries to the kitchen.

Sun says, "Screwball and I made some cookies while you were gone."

"And they taste great," Screwball says with a smile.

"Sounds great," Discord says.

Then Screwball asks, "So what are we having for dinner tonight."

Discord simply smiles and says, "I'm planing on making some special homemade pizza for us."

Screwball eyes start to sparkle and says, "You mean our pineapple and ham pizza with mozzarella cheese sticks in the crust."

"That the one," Discord says with a smile.

"Yay!" Screwball screams with excitement.

She then turns to Sun and says, "And don't worry we'll make sure to just leave out the ham for you."

Sun giggles and says, "Okay."

Sine it's around 4 p.m, Sun and her dad and sister are going to make some pizza. It has taken them a while to have all the cheese grated, pineapple and ham cutted into pieces, and the pizza crust being made and other preparation they need, they have made a delicious pizza and put it into the oven. They also make sure that half of it only has pineapple since Sun is a vegetarian.

When the pizza is finished, they have their dinner and it's taste delicious. Sun is glad to have some wonder time cooking some food with her had and sister and has been full from the pizza. She wonder what else that will go on with her family and wish will be doing more cooking with her dad and sister soon.
