You see a filly that lives in ponyville you think you have seen it all the weird, the ugly, and the magical. That however was about a day ago though its late but it felt like years. Like ehh, 6 years to be exact, maybe more.
Honestly now Apple Bloom knew there is much more to learn and probably why she
hadn't found her talent yet or had she? What was the flashing mark on her flank? She thought.
What it a puzzle that would ever be solved?
It wasn't really the train that was made out of golden light and was somehow unknown destination that she thought might be Canterlot that was the most shocking.
It was that every adult she met seemed to be infected turning into kinda zombies with no emotion attacking everyone
Apple bloom suspected a touch could turn us into them
and how are we to survive this way and can we turn them back? Apple Bloom wondered.
If there aren't any adults she wondered if they were now adults in there place?
But she let the light comfort her and soothe her why had light these few days saved her. She wondered.
And she was wondering was there any hope.
"Equestria to Apple Bloom!" shouted Scootaloo "Did the pony get you did he touch you?"
She seemed to be joking to Apple Bloom but also worried.
"No, it didn't ."she struggled on if "it "was the was the right word
"It's just everything that happened I guess i'm just trying to wrap my mind around it"
said Apple bloom.
"Yeah it is a lot" Said Sweetie Belle softly.
" Like this feels so nice to be taken care of but how many adults are left and where are are sisters and family members?" sais Apple Bloom
"I wanted to go to Rarity's house and lie on her fabric till shes come back," Said Sweetie Belle
"I also wanna wanna try to make silk roses for her," "And listen to her complain about Apple Jacks hardy choice of fashion and how sometimes she wants to put Apple Jack in a dress but she almost always refuses."
"Hey" said Apple Bloom
Sweetie Belle went on somewhere in the middle of whing and seriously crying but tears fell in dramatic puddles so we knew it was genuine.
"And I miss how she would complain how Rainbow Dash would make a hole in her ceiling-
She does do that a lot said Scootaloo.
-And how she thinks she caught someone with the rainbow cutie mark going to the spa but then the pony bolted."
"Hey wait!" Said Scootatloo.
"I just miss her," said Sweetie Belle. "and everypony where in the hay fries are they?"
"Where did those poor pony souls go?" she said sobbing more
Everyone harmonized in so many different ways "I miss them" said everyone on the row of the train besides Babs seed who Apple Bloom was quiet.
"Yall keep talking about sisters but I miss mah family all of em," said Babs Seeds.
"I guess we're thinking are sisters as there the ones who save the day." Said Scootaloo.
I think we miss everypony"
.
"I miss cupcakes, the best" though said Sweetie Belle.
"Sweetie belle!" everyone chimed.
"Hunger first family later okay i'm kinda hungry... I feel as if I haven't eaten in 7years! she said.
"I feel its 6"" Babs admitted.
" For me its 45." said Applebloom.
Spike was sitting in the back but Apple bloom saw him get up he had been listening when I got up.
"Okay you might have a point but guys kinda have to tell you something. The reason I feel so strange other then it's just been weird is well before I woke up and Twilight was gone the night .
before I went to bed we were reading this book together. I thought it was a fantasy book but you know usually everything Twilight read is real? She kinda all organized and as rainbow dash calls her an "egg head" and usually I don't really read her books because you know if you kinda live with a library book worm it kinda washes the fun down a little but this time like some nights I listened. Like okay maybe I always listen to her bedtime stories but yeah."
"But anyway yeah she kinda might've read this one to me too to go to sleep.
Spike blushed.
"Hey dork dragon hurry up and get on with it or I will throw you and the pegasi out the train and teach you how to fly" Said Diamond Tiara "I have been listening to the whole time too you gooey goo now tell me the end I will find you the off myself button.
Though Spike was a little older then diamond.
Apple bloom noticed Spike shaking.
And strangely she noticed Sweetie Belle
eyes wide and hooves up about to attack her
but Bab Seed grabbed her then Scootaloo and finally Apple bloom grabbed her with her hooves
Sweetie Belle was strong.
Sweetie Belle could only say fragments of sentences she was speaking very incoherently.
"But she..." "I..." "He..."
and then she broke down. More buckets of water fell on the floor.
More puddles to clean up.
and then her strange mark flashed
black
" I cant,.." but..." It's not fair..."
Surprised Apple Bloom let go.
"I just can't... It's too hard.. why?"
and then it started the color grey coming from her tail.
"Why?" "Why are you?"
"I am so confused."
"
Sweetie Belle," Apple bloom wailed "Calm down," "What's going on? "Are you okay"
Though she knew most of the answers. There was nothing clever she could think of just horror and frustration.
Apple Bloom was lost.
"What the hay, said Babs " The grey ponies they haven't touched her!
"We have to throw her off the train!" Said Diamond "Its us or them!"
"No," "what?" I think this is your fault said Scootaloo. "I am not throwing out one of my best friends.
"How is this my fault? She must of been touched by a zombie pony? Words don't do this kind of damage. Shes a goner we have to save ourselves!
"No!" said a chorus of all the Cutie Mark Crusaders
"Don't you touch her honestly you suck!" Said Spike a sudden change came over Spike for a minute he seemed like the dragons in the pony tales Miss Cheerilee read to us fierce.
A word came to her respect.
another determined
"Apple Bloom you cutie marks fashing really bright!" Said Babs Seed.
"Not are biggest problem now said " said Scootaloo.
" Okay fine I will kick her out this shipwreck myself!" Said diamond. "Come to my aid Silver Spoon."
In a small voice Silver Spoon whispered.
Apple Bloom could only make out the first wordt what Silver Spoon said.
"In!" Was the only thing she could make out.
"What?" Said Diamond Tiara.
" In your dreams!" Said Silver Spoon screaming,
"What where is this coming from?" said Silver Spoon
"Everywhere are games are naughty and fun but this is going to far!" Said silver.
A strange look spread on Silvers spoons face. "Diamond if I turned grey would you throw me off the train too?
"If I was only going to hold me down would you let go?"
"No I... We have too... fine i'll do it myself," Said Diamond.
All the while Sweetie Belle was looking bad and saying "I..." over and over.
She found a broom in the golden light train. It was a little translucent but a normal broom She pointed the broom at the almost completely grey pony and tried to push her out.
"Stop " the Cmc and Spike fought her but she was a strong one as well.
but then they heard a loud voice.
"Stop it." said Silver Spoon and you can see she ducked in Sweetie Belles place hit by the broom and Sweetie Belle's face.
Diamond Tiara was quickest to react.
"Stop it you freak!" "Why are you defending this dirty blank flank." Said Diamond.
Then everything changed. Silver Spoon turned grey so fast and so did Sweetie belle.
They were one tone. Like a rock even there eyes.
The train floor turned stark grey.
"See?" said Diamond. "Were doomed!
Everyone not grey touched scattered to the farthest corners of the train made of golden light.
But then Apple bloom cried " Look!"
Blue magic the color of ice and the sky flooded from both Sweetie Belle and Silver Spoon there pupils were gone and the were both levitating.
there were radiating a magical aura that bathed and exploded
and bathed each other in. It was kinda like the windows in canterlot and then the magic punched everything.
The blue magic for a second enveloped the room
Apple bloom felt it in her cells. Everyone fell to the sides of the train who was not directly basking in the magic.
other then Scootaloo who almost fell off the train.
Luckily Owlicious, angel and Spike steadied her.
and then it all stopped. The two foals planted on the floor color pale but returning.
All the small ponies got close to see if they were okay.
Some expressions like stuffed animals others a gaping expression on there face and wide eyes.
."You ponies okay?" Scootalloo broke the silence
Sweetie Belle chimed sounding fresh and well spoken in tone "Never better!"
"Silver Spoon giggled."
Sweetie Belle had her tongue out making an expression they would normally see on Pinkie Pie
The ponies were close for never being friend let alone not be
The ponies were very close to each other for being foes.
Apple Bloom spoke up this time "You sure?"
"Yeah something feels better also I kinda wanna say something to you in private,"
Sweetie belle blushed like a tomato. Hoof pointing at Spike.
Spike blushed very red. "Okay'' he said.
"I don't know I just feel better like I found hope?" said Sweetie Belle.
But how did this even happen and how did it change? Said Apple Bloom.
"I don't know? But I think we may of discovered world peace!" Said Sweetie Belle
"I don't know if that's quite it but I think we discovered something a little new." said Silver Spoon.
giggling again.
Spike walked up to the center of the room.
................................................................................................................................................
"As I was trying to tell you, I think Twilight had these books I think shes was doing that thing where she just kinda goes nuts and goes to twilight world stressing and looking a little weird.
I thought it was something small like normal and I couldn't quite get what she was trying to research it was so bizarre but I just tried to get her to see her friends and sleep you know pony stuff(He said with an eye roll) but I knew she had probably started reading her research as a bedtime story.
and I was kinda interested and it feels so similar but at the time I thought it was just a conspiracy theory or something at time I mean it's Twilight she really smart and great but gets herself stuck on stuff and paranoid... I should've trusted her shes my family... but I was worried.
I lied to you sweetie Belle because I wasn't sure if it would make you sad and I didnt know if it was related.
But actually she left that night. I saw her she said she was going with her friends. All of them. There was probably more but I was kinda tired and didn't hear I kinda fell asleep after when I awoke she was gone and in a strange world"
Said spike.
"What were the books? said Apple Bloom,"
Her heart beating.
"The rise of sombra by the crystal empire"
"The tale of the seeds of disharmony the jewels of chaos"
"Day and night of princess a thousand years before,"
"Alchemy a secret edition by Princess Luna princes celestia""
"Most of them had a banned till further notice seal in order of the princess seal.
sad Spike.
"It was hard to follow what she was saying it felt so out there it was harder to follow then when she used orders of the planets and moon to catastrophize junk but I think she predicted what was happening."
I don't know what is completely means but we're all most all that's left at least in ponyville I think
you may have been given some strangely powerful power. I mean Silver Spoon is an earth pony but she just used magic this is kinda very unusual.
"I did!"" I didn't really think about it but I did.".. Said Silver Spoon
"It just felt so natural..."
Diamond Tiara had a far away expression. Apple bloom did not know what it met she couldn't tell if it was longing or sadness.
"I think it may now be are time to save equestria." said Spike
"I felt like that too," Said Apple Bloom
"I agree" Said Scootaloo, Babs, Silver Spoon and Sweetie Belle.
Sweetie Belle and Silver Spoon began joyfully giggling again.
and then in the edges of the train they saw a brighter blue sky
and Canterlot
