In another dimension

Chapter 3

Twilight had just gotten out of the Sugarcube corner. That pink mare did more than enough to waste her time, but somehow, Twilight wasn’t sad anymore. Instead, her once sad expression started to light up. First, she started smile like an idiot which then would cause her to laugh. Needless to say, she was quite friendly nonetheless

Twilight kept wandering off to pretty much nowhere in particular. But, she found it quite enjoyable by just looking around and see the fascinating view of Ponyville. This town seemed kind off odd for her taste, but she liked it quite a lot. It was lively, colorful and not to mention friendly.

“Wow! this place looks amazing!” Twilight exclaimed happily.

Perhaps this ‘meeting’ could wait for now. Alternate Twilight Sparkle had no knowledge about this filly anyway, right?

As she walked throughout the city, a visible Rainbow trail high up above could be seen. Soon it came closer, then even closer and finally.

“WATCH OUT!” The pegasus' yell faded in as it came closer and closer.

Twilight looked above, and soon saw the Pegasus about crash into her. She wanted to run, but her stiff legs was locked in place. Instead, she screamed at the top of her lungs with her irises folded up into a tiny dot

The pegasus saw the filly right below her. As she was about to crash, all she could do was to try and reduce the speed in mid-air. She did manage to slow down. However in blink of an eye, it was done. The pegasus crashed right into the filly.

All Twilight could see was a blurry vision of the cyan coated pony with rainbow mane and tail before she had passed out

The rainbow maned pegasus rubbed her head in slight pain, but she was fine otherwise. As she was going to check on the filly, she was already on ground unconcious

---

Celestia's sun hung lazily up above. Twilight had found herself in a quite familiar place. A place she never had forgotten. Twilight wandered around for some time, until she saw some ponies. One very young filly, and two older ponies. Obviously her parents. But something about that filly caught her attentiion.

Her purple coat, her dark blue mane with the purple stripes. It was her and her parents. Twilight didn't flinch for a second, but she progressed further.

As soon as she had gotten closer to the 3 ponies, she had taken notice that not only was it her parents. This was all in the past.

She was just behind the three ponies. As she was about the tap her father on the shoulder. The 3 ponies began to fade away.

The theme changed to a city. Obviously Canterlot. She looked around, and saw her father sprinting into an alleyway, quite panicked.

"Daddy?" She spoke with a soft tone, and ran after him as fast as she could.

BANG

The loud bang was heard in every direction possible. Surprisingly, nopony in town did mind.

They kept going with their normal activities, eat, drink, talk, laugh and so on.

On her way, she saw her younger self yet again running up to her father in tears.

"Daddy! Daddy!" She looked around, but nopony was in sight,

“C-can’t anypony help us!! My daddy has been shot!!” She screamed with the top of her lungs.

Nothing. Not even a yes, or a no. There was no use.

The stallion didn't move. Not even a final word was heard from him. He just laid there lifeless in his own puddle of blood, with his own daughter crying on top of his chest

Twilight saw herself crying on her father’s body. She even felt her own tear gushing out of her eyes. She rubbed her wet eyes, in order to stop the tears from flowing out of her eyes, but it was no use. The tears kept going.

She soon snapped out of her emotional state when she found herself in yet another location. It was a classroom, which contained about 25 foals, that was chatting and laughing and make as much noise as possible.. Inside came an orange coated mare, with another filly behind her. She seemed to be shy, nervous and scared at the same time.

“Why don’t you introduce yourself?” The teacher asked her reassuring.

The filly stepped forward, and looked over at the students. “Uhm, hello?” she said with a rather timid voice.

“My name is Twilight Sparkle. I am 6 years old, and I live with my sick mother.”

As soon as she mentioned her name, the kids whispered to each other. Most likely talking behind her back. Even the teacher looked at her weird. Twilight seemed to be unaware of the situation.

“Yes, now please take a seat” The teacher said in a less gentle tone. In fact, it sounded a bit harsh.

The Twilight who was watching herself introduction now found herself in yet another area.

By now, it seemed to get way too repetitive. She now found herself in her own place in Canterlot. As she glanced around her home, or what seemed to be her home, right befor- Anyway. As she observed the glimpse of the bland looking wall, and the wooden pantry door, the door handles started to turn, with help of a purple glowing aura. Inside came the filly, all wet, her mane in a mess and muttering up some nonsense. “I’m home...” She yelled inside the empty house. She patiently stood still, knowing that she was going to get welcomed by her mother. Well, she used to do that anyway.

Her voice loudly echoed through the house but no reply.

“Hello?!” She yelled throughout the house and walked to the living room, where her mother used to be.

“Mom?” She cried out, but to her surprise, there was nothing. Not even a single being beside herself and a note on the table. Wait, a note?

Twilight walked to the note calmly, winessing the white piece of paper. It was obviously her mother’s hoof writing.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________

Dear Twilight Sparkle. When you are reading this, you will probably notice I am not home and that is because... well. you are still young Twilight, but you deserve to know. I went to the doctor today and they told me that I do not have not much time left. It must be very hard for you, sweetie. But I know you will make it. You are responsible, smart and the greatest daughter a mother could wish for. I love you, and that will not change. Good luck, my dear.

Love. You mom

Twilight dropped the note that was within her grasp. Her eyes watered. Her hooves that carried her failed and soon she began to collapse on the floor. She was alone. No friends, no family and nopony to take care of her now.

Twilight walked towards her past self, extended her hoof, only to notice it passed right through her.

“Twilight!” A voice came out of nowhere. Where did it come from?

“Twilight...” It called out again.

“please wake up!” The voice had a sound of a restless behaviour.

---

Twilight eyes shot open as she heard her name the second time. A cyan color blur appears in front of her. Soon her eyes began to materialize, only to see a cyan coated pegasus in front of her. she had a tail and mane like a rainbow. She had deep pink eyes and her face began to light up.

Twilight laid there for the longest time. Around her was a grassy field and not even a single cloud up in the air. Tears had welled up in her eyes To her surprise, someone did care for her after all. she didn’t care if she didn’t know her. That... sequence made her happy to see that at least somepony cared for her.

“Woah there” The pegasus called out as the tiny hooves wrapped around her. “What’s gotten into you?” She asked in a deep confusion.

“Thank you!” She exclaimed in happiness.

“Thank y-” Rainbow Dash stopped and just went along. “It’s alright.” She said with a lit up smile. “Care to tell me why you are suddenly a filly? Did you perform a spell that backfired you or something?”

Twilight’s only conclusion was that they are originally friends. Well with the adult Twilight anyway.

“Well... It’s complicated.” She started. How was she supposed explain this anyway? It worked REALLY well with the overhyped pink mare, didn’t it?

For now, she decided to go along with it.

“Yes... A spell backfired me alright...” She said with a sigh. “I need to go home... and... fix it. Could you perhaps keep me company?” The little filly gave a nervous smile, hoping that she would agree to assist her.

“I’m sorry, kid.” Rainbow found that quite cheesy to say that to her best friend.

“I have some important... weather jobs to attend to.” She spoke in an obvious lie

“But the sky is crystal clear...” She blinked three times observing her nervous look.

“Alright! listen.” Rainbow Dash hovered up in the air. “I promised Pinkie Pie to help her with something. I can’t really tell. I am sorry. So err... cya!” With that she rushed off faster than you could say ‘cheese’

Twilight sighed and carried her tiny hooves.

“That went well...”
