//------------------------------// // Chapter 5 // Story: Forgiveness // by WingKnight //------------------------------// "Wow so you spent the whole day in another universe? That's incredible, what was it like?,what did you do?, can we go there? Fired off Sliverstream not giving Ocellus a chance to answer any of her questions well slowly inching closer to her well the other's just listened knowing that Sliverstream would do just what she was doing. Gently pushing Sliverstream back with her hoof she still wasn't really for them to about her other kind of magic. "Well first remember what we talked about personal space?" Sliverstream's face just brighten with embarrassment. "Now to answer. Like I was me but not me,just sit and talk well have a snake, and I don't think that would a good idea. Smolder chuckle at the way Ocellus was about to just answer all of Sliverstream questions without even really trying. Gallus on the other hand was just sinking lower leaning that he caused one of his closest friends to be pushed to the point of leaving the school that she loved. " Hay Ocellus this is kind of hard to say but . . .im sorry . Seeing how all the blame was aimed at you. I feel even worse about wanting make all of you stay here over the holiday." With small shake of her head Ocellus looked Gallus in the eyes "Gallus,everyone let's just agree that somethings where said and leave it at that." All of them nodded in agreement glad they where able to clear the air about everything that happened well they were getting ready to go back to there home's "So Yona have to ask. If you got the choice to stay where ever it was you went would you? None of them even though that was a possible and the knowing that her leavening might have been permanent. With pure pride in her voice and a smile on her face Ocellus looked at her friends all waiting for her to answer. "No the other world might be nice and all. But Equestria, school and the Hive are my home. Plus all my real friends and family are in this world." Even other creature let out a breath that none of them really that they where holding. Glad to know that they didn't cause somebody they care about to disappear forever with out even saying goodbye. "So now that we got everything cleared about about way you left. I think that we all really own you an apology. So is there anything we can do to make it up to you?, and don't say nothing. Asked Sliverstream really wanting to make it up to her roommate. Thinking if there was anything anything at all. " Well there is two things that all of you can do. But the first one is just for Gallus” replied Ocellus with a wicked smile. The young griffin just cringe back not really sure if he was going to like where this was going." And just what would that be? "You go down to the kitchens and get me some of that fudge because I don't get any of cause I was talking with Twilight. And the second we all go out and enjoy the snow I really feel like doing some sledding, deal? "All of them where a little shocked that all Ocellus wanted was some of the fudge for the party and to spend the day with them. "Well professor Rainbow Dash did say that the pegasus where doing another snow fall to help get rid of there overstock of snow so... I'm in." Said sandbar followed by nods in agreement and the rest of them except for Sliverstream how need to have what sledding was just because there was no such thing as snow underwater. Yona even volunteered to find them the best place because yak's are best when it comes to to snow and ice. After spending the rest of the day outside in the snow the student's returned to there dorms just as Luna was raising her moon with only took them so long because they had to wait for Smolder because she was wearing three coats and was slowing them all down. "Well that took us only about two-half hours. “Wounded way?” Asked Gallus not even bothering to hide the sarcasm in his voice. Responding defensively " Hay give me a break dragons might breve fire. But we still prefer extremely worm places”. Reply Smolder giving all of them a good laugh. "Yay yay let's all laugh it one the one how's cold blooded.” Who just rolled her eyes in annoyance. “What ever I'm on vacation so if any of you need me I don't exist until eleven at the latest got it ! Yona come on let’s get back to are room before I lock you out and you have to sleep in the snow. "But yak like snow and ice how that punishment? Asked Yona like Smolder was being serious. After parting ways each group headed to their rooms. Sandbar with Gallus, Yona with Smolder, and Sliverstream with Ocellus. Sliverstream was currently laying on top of her bed pruning her wings as the same time trying to figure out if she should tell Ocellus what she know about her? "Hay Ocellus is there anything else that you want to talk about? That might you are not tell me about. Ask Sliverstrem trying really hard to sound this was just a casual conversation. Poking her head out of there small dorm room bathroom. Using her hoof to move a blue and green toothbrush back and forth in her mouth."NoI'mgoodbutwaydoyouask?" Ask Ocellus not reliving that she could not be understood "Um can you repeat that? Asked Sliverstream with a confused face. Taking her toothbrush out blushing slightly. "Sorry what I said was no I'm good but way do you ask? Then resumed to brushing her teeth. "Well just so you know it's not my place to say anything to the others but two things one. Way are you using your hoof in stead of levitating it with your magic? And two way didn't you tell me you had that kind of magic? Ocellus's eyes widen in shock along with chocking the toothpaste she was using."Um what... what are you talking I don't have any kind of magic like that. What makes you think that can do anything like that kind ". replied Ocellus trying to keep her voice form shaking. "Well a few things nothing major but you sometimes levitate everything. On your side of the room in your sleep and don't say it's not you because your horn has a glow the same color as everything that's floating. Seeing no point in denying it Ocellus decided she might as well come clean. “So how long have you known?” Sliverstrem did a quick check in her head to “ Sense the field trip. So.. about a month or so. But way have you not told any of us about this? I mean this is huge and.Can any of the other changeling use magic like you? “I just didn’t want anyone to know not even my mother and father know let and I don't want them to just let. And no as far as I know I'm the only one that can. So can you not tell anyone please?" “Way would I it’s not my place to say anything. But can you do you anything besides levitation?” Shaking her head “No just the levitation.So this says between the two of us right? I just don’t want anyone to know yet is all.” Giving a large smile Silverstream Nodded in agreement that she would keep her friend’s secret tell she was ready for others to know. Smiling “You know it kind of nice that someone know’s and I’m not alone with my secret thanks.” Letting out a long soft yawn Sliverstream shock her head try to stay awake. “You’re welcome, but can we head to sleep now before any more secrets are revealed? Because it's been a long day and I'm exhausted . Letting out a yawn of her own. I’m with you on that one. Good night and sleep tight. "Wow I cannot we are getting to see the changiling hive. You know I bet we're the non-changeulings to visit the hive after the metamorphosis." Clamed Sandbar, well the others where just amazed at everything there was around them. Even Smolder was impressed with all the color around her. Who felt at home her self with not everything cover in plants just let. “Well counselor Starlight was here recently. But you’re the first to be invited by a member of the it." Replied Ocellus leading her friends to the main entrance. Unaware that she was being watched by another. Princess Luna just watch Ocellus and her group head into the hive but didn’t make her self known. Because it was her job to just watch the dreams of her subjects for there nightmares and interfere only when necessary.This however was a check up to see if things had improved form the last time and from the screen in front of her only brought joy to herself. “Well done Ocellus you have leaned what took me over a thousand years to learn. That Communication is key in any kind of relationship be at friends or family. Dream well young changeling .”
