"So, um.. I get if if you don't wanna be friends anymore..." Applebloom was horrified. She just stared, slack-jawed at Scootaloo. I would've done the same thing if I had never been 20 at some point. Hey, Applebloom appears to be recovering from shock!
"Uh... well, a real friend would never abandon their friends no matter what's behind them!"
"Thanks Applebloom, that means a lot to me, I still need to tell Sweetie Belle." Ow, my head! My vision is going blurry...
"Applebloom, do you have anything I can drink?"
me
"Course we do! What would ya like?"
"What do you have?"
"Apple juice, appleade, cider, apple squa-"
"Okay I get it, pretty much everything apple related. I'll have appleade please."
"Sure thing, Pepper! Ah'll go get it!" I'm starting to get dizzy. A few seconds later, Applebloom appeared with a tray in her mouth. She placed it on the table and dished out the drinks.
"Here's your appleade, Pepper!" She looked confused as she pulled away.
"Something the matter?"
"You smell of vanilla."
"So?"
"Your name is PEPPERMINT Cream, not Vanilla Cream."
"If you think that's weird, you'll be mind blown that my mane tastes of icing sugar and when it gets wet it smells like a cake in the oven and tastes like chocolate!"
"Woah."
"Yup!"
"Here's a mug of herbal tea for you, Scootaloo!"
"YOU like herbal tea, Scoots?" She looked slightly offended at that, oops.
"Um, yeah why?"
"Dunno, you just didn't seem like the kind of pony to drink that." Ugh, sudden wave of dizziness. I gulped down my drink but that didn't really help. "I think I need to go now, it was nice seeing you Applebloom. See both of you on Monday!" I got up and walked out the door.
I spread my wings and took to the sky. The breeze was cool and refreshing. I had spent a good hour at Sweet Apple Acres and it was good to be out of the stuffy building. The sky was a midnight blue with the white moonlight illuminating it. I felt free as I soared through the sky, just under the clouds. My cloud house was in sight now so I began my descent to the ground. I began to feel slow and tired. As I touched down on the cloud floor I stumbled into my house. I made my way up the stairs, barely managing to walk properly. My mind was so clouded I couldn't pay attention to where I was going and I just walked through the door instead of opening it. There is now a pony shaped hole in the door. I'll have to get some more cloud to... OW! My head is pounding! I can't see anymore, everything is blurry... Everything is numb... Why is everything fading to black? So tired...
The first thing I saw when I opened my eyes was mist. Blood red mist. It was gorgeous, the way it swirled around like that. I found the strength to get up and as I looked around I saw nothing. Just a vast stretch of nothing in every direction. All of a sudden it became cold. The mist turned to a navy blue and a tall figure appeared. The mist swirled around the tall creature, hiding its identity. I stared as I realised that it was the same thing that had taken me to Equestria in the first place!
"Y-you!"
"So you remember me then."
"Quit hiding behind that mist and tell me who you actually are!" She stepped out of the mist and I gasped as I saw her. She was a large alicorn, taller than Princess Celestia. Her coat was a deep navy blue, like Luna's. Her mane and tail were lavender at the roots but faded to turquoise at the ends. They looked like there was a breeze constantly blowing and had the navy mist floating around them. Her cutie mark was a red spiral and a few sky blue stars.
"I am Aurora, the third eternal sister. I once ruled Equestria with my sisters, I was the keeper of dreams until the fourth eternal sister showed up. She's a turquoise alicorn, although I wouldn't expect anyone to know her as she never shows herself to mortals. While I resent her for taking my job, I also thank her, for I was then forced to find my talent. I eventually found it when I discovered my hidden ability. Every alicorn has one. Celestia's is being able to connect her magic with the sun, Luna's is being able to reach out to the moon with her magic, Awakening's is being able to tap into people's minds while they are asleep and Cadence's is being able to influence people's feelings with her magic. Mine is being able to transport to different universes and to rule over them to keep the balance. You are the only being in Equestria except for the other eternal sisters to know of my existence so I must ask that you do not tell anypony." Well that was a lot to take in. I'll think over this later, I want to know where the hell I am!
"Um, Princess Aurora, if that's what you would like to be called, what is this place?"
"Just call me Aurora, I am no princess. This place is the empty space between the universes."
"How did I get here?"
"I summoned you here. Unfortunately, this place is only accessible by mortals if they are unconscious or sleeping so I had to make you fall asleep, alicorn magic is different from unicorn magic so sorry if you experienced any nasty sensations."
"Why did you take me from Earth, for all I know, The Offspring could be retired or Dexter Holland could've died and what about my family?!"
"I explained it to your family and I may have also used some magic to get them to say it was okay..."
"As long as they know, it's okay. What about The Offspring?"
"They are not of my concern."
"Why not? Can't you just grant them immortality or something?"
"My goddess, you have a lot of questions! No, it is not that simple. Creating immortal beings on Earth is very dangerous, with immortality comes immense power and unlike Equestria, negative emotions like hate, jealousy and spite are quite common so immortal beings could misuse the power. You saw what happened when those negative emotions overcame Luna, for a normal pony it would just cause a bit of disharmony, but because she was immortal The Darkness took over in her mind."
"Oh... One last question, why did you bring me to Equestria?"
"Because I sensed a spark of Equestrian magic on Earth and I had to send it to Equestria before it upset the balance and now, Tori, you must wake up. I have kept you here too long."
Hello stalkers, a longer chapter today to make up for the boring, short one yesterday.
This one was fun to write, I had to stretch my imagination this time. I finally figured out what I'm doing with this story now. But I'm not telling you!
Until next time! -GimmeMahCheesecake (Yeah, I changed my username)
