//------------------------------// // What Went Wrong? // Story: What Once Was Old, Is Young Again. // by Adorkable //------------------------------// What happened one can not say. Each pony could feel the world around them growing, larger and larger as even the smallest things like a counter seemed as tall as a mountain. The last few hours becoming a blur, until the ponies noticed something important. The world wasn’t getting larger, no it was far worse! They were the ones shrinking! The pink smoke that filled the room was starting to lift up and vanish, the sound of coughing could be heard all around. Within a few moments all had become clear in the room, a violet filly batting long lashes slowly as the world around was coming to a stop from spinning. Her mane was so long and soft, in a elegant wild style that she hated, as it always got in the way of her eyes. Looking around her in sudden shock, she could see five ponies on the floor, everypony looked her age which was about four. A pink filly with wild curly mane that looked like a clown, A small copper filly with a pretty blonde mane that seemed very serious. She could make out a very nice looking unicorn with a neat white coat, she was freaking out as if everything around her would stain her body forever. A yellow pegasus was dancing around the room in excitement, as if she was on the verge of bouncing off the walls. Last was a blue pegasus, she seemed very mean and almost like a bully. Those violet eyes full of determination and the drive to… “Owww!” The blue pegasus galloped over and quickly punched the violet unicorn’s shoulder, indeed she was a bully. “What was that for?” She spoke in a tough manner, trying her best to hold back tears. “I dunno! I just feel you deserved it egghead!” The pegasus huffed out softly, as she puffed her chest out trying to scare her. “I soooo want to go outside! Who else wants to go outside! I could find a bee hive and eat it!” The yellow pegasus skipped around the room full of energy. “I could go for some honey bunny!” The pink filly burst out into giggles and slapped the white unicorn hard on the backside. “Ahhhh! Don’t touch me! You’re dirty!” She quickly scuttled over to a corner and started to shiver wildly. “I weckon swomethin went vewy wong.” The copper pony placed a tiny hoof on her chin in deep thought. “What did you say mush mouth?” Blue spoke up with a loud snort, her eyes narrowing in amusement. “I’ma not a mush moth! My wame is Wapple Wack!” Wapples spoke in a proud and stern voice, standing up to the bully who just giggled loudly. “Ok Wapples! I’m Rainbow Dash! But you can call me awesome!” Dash zoomed high into the air quickly on her tiny wings, yet they gave out as soon as they jolted causing her to crash to the floor loudly. “Hahaha! Dashie flew around the thunder cloud, and she thought all was magic! Boom-boom went the lightning and POP...ALL WENT TO TRAGIC!” Yellow screamed out in a sharp tone, causing Dash to wince in place. “Who are you!?” Dash snapped in anger, holding back tears softly as her whole body was aching from the fall. “I’m Fluttersky! or is it Flutterbye? Perhaps Flutter…” Flutter-something spoke in a mischievous tone taunting Dash who simply pouted, not sure how to deal with this. “Heehee! I love that pony! I’m Pinkamean….Pinkamoan….Pinko...Pinkie just Pinkie.” Pinkie giggled and bounced over to Flutter happily, she was clapping her hooves together as the yellow pegasus broke into song again. “Wu wokay? Wat wu weakon wen won?” Wapples asked the violet unicorn with a worried tone in her voice, she could only give her a small and forced smile in return. “Twily is what my mommy calls me. As for what went won...wrong I can’t say, everything is a haze.” She gave a sigh and tried to remember how they all got here, did their parents drop them off here? But why would they leave? Shouldn’t her mommy be talking to others here? More so, why can’t she remember coming here? So many questions and so little answers! She gave a glance around the large oversized room, ignoring the constant singing and bickering of those around her. This room was fancy it had neatly stacked books all around, delicate and old oak tables lining the walls. The room was made of clear crystal, it was so elegant and pretty. Sparkling as bright as the sun in the blue sky, a warmth like none other wafted into the room from a open window in the corner. She softly lifted her long bangs away from her eyes, noticing a very beautiful princess picture on the wall. “Shwe wooks wike wu.” Wapples tilted her head softly as she sat at her side, the large picture on the wall was of a violet slender princess. She wore a shiny crown atop her long flowing mane, she did look a little like her to be honest. Though she had wings and the child didn’t, that and her eyes were filled with a sense of sadness. Had they been brought to this place to help? The princess was sad and needed cheering up, that would mean they were inside a castle! Her eyes grew wide in shock and awe, she swiftly jumping atop a nearby stool, sliding off of it and hitting her flank on the floor with a thud. Wapples was nice enough to give her a boost afterwards, helping her stand tall above the room. “Listen!” She yelled out across the room, the white unicorn gazing up to her in fear. “I said listen!” She stomped her hooves on the stool softly, yet Pinkie and Flutters continued to sing aloud as Dash screamed loudly for them to stop. “I said LISTEN!” Twily screamed out as loud as she could, her whole body shivering in place as the room went silent and all eyes fell upon her. “Well?” Dash snorted aloud with a scrunched muzzle. “I know where we are!” Twily spoke up in a proud tone, lifting small hooves high in the air. “Dizzy Land!?” Pinkie gave a squee in delight, her tail swishing side to side in excitement. “I WANNA RIDE A COASTER!” Flutters screamed out in a shriek, her hooves waving wildly in the air. “What?! No we’re not at Dizzy Land, we’re at a Princesses Castle!” She spoke up as loud as she could, trying her best to sound like a smart grown up. “A princess? How enchanting!” The white unicorn swooned as she slowly inched away from the corner, the fear lifting out of her eyes. “I think she invited us here, because she is sad and needs help to bring happiness back to the land!” “Wow!” Pinkie and Flutters said together in unison. “Maybe a evil wizward came and cursed her kingdom, and she could only summon us to help! I say we march down the hall, find this wizward and break the curse once and for all!” Twily lifted her hooves as high as possible, standing on her hind hooves off balance. She soon felt the world spinning as she lost all control and fell off the stool, Wapples rushing over to catch her as she landed upon her in a loud crash. Dash simply rolling her eyes and flaunting a hoof in annoyance. “Phst! That is dumb!” Dash gave an eye roll and started trotting away towards the large door in the room. “Wh...where are you going?” The unicorn asked in fear, her small white hooves lifting up to cover her mouth softly. “To find something to eat duh! My tummy is a rumbly! “ Dash smirked and lifted up onto her hind hooves, pressing gently against the door with all her might. “Mmmm. I could go for nom-noms! “ Flutters skipped over and started to pound her hooves on the door as well. Twily sighed aloud in defeat, her ears folding back slowly. Nopony believing her about why they were here, they instead just wanting snacks right now. She decided to take a deep breath and follow along, perhaps after they all got some yummies, they will be willing to listen. Twily just knew in her heart they were here to help her, if they didn’t then she might lose her kingdom or worse. She slowly cantered over to the door to see what was wrong, Wapples keeping close at her side giving the filly a sense of happiness for having at least one friend.
