//------------------------------// // Chapter 4 Past: Time spirit ghost. // Story: Sweetie Belle Time Travels! // by SweetieBelleTimeT //------------------------------// 3000 miles away from Equestria, a dark star night, full moon with small puffs of clouds, everything was fine... But in a tomb, hundreds of thousand years old, dusty and crawling with spiders, hidden from plain sight, lit a blue flame right near the center... In old history books, this tomb only appears when something or somepony time travels, and stays for a decade, the spirit sleeps for a long time until time is being modified. "Gilda, why are we here? In the middle of nowhere miles away from towns?" A green Pegasus asks Gilda, "I'm looking for something, something to prank my old friend since we were kids..." Gilda kept walking while the pegasus slowed down due feeling something coming up the ground, "Gilda... stop, and uh... prepare your wings... I feel something..." The green pony panicked, as the shaking got stronger and stronger, a large stone building came shooting out the ground 200 meters away from them, "A tomb? Shooting out of the ground just like that? Aw sweet, I didn't know you could feel stuff like that" Gilda was excited to find something to prank Rainbow Dash, she toke off with a burst of wind, flying towards the old building, "Uh... I can... Gilda wait up!" The green pegasus flew off the catch up with Gilda. After 20 seconds, they make it to the front entrance, as no other entrances could be sighted, "Are you scared... Dewb?" Gilda pulled a face at the pony, "Uh... ye- no, no I'm not" the pony replied, "Then let's go in and take a look inside, there has to be something in here" Gilda walked into the dark entrance, as she walked in, all the torches on the walls lit up by themselves, the green pony got really scared as if death was upon them, or atleast something horrible. "Who dares wake me?" A female voice echoed to Gilda, "G-Gilda, I'm looking for something to prank a friend of mine!" Gilda shouted, "Gilda... who are you talking to?" The green pony asks with fear, "Don't you hear her voice?" Gilda asked, "Of course she wouldn't, you wanted to come in, not her, and I'm afraid what you're looking for isn't here, I do not have such content to prank your friend... since you woke me with your steps, you'll be punished" The voice echoed again with anger, "Wait! What'd I even do!?" Gilda shouted, a stone wall appeared between the pony and Gilda, "You, pony, I suggest you leave, I'm not going to do anything bad to you, but leave here, and never come back..." the voice echoed to the pony, the pony flew right out of the walkway as fast as she could. "So... griffin... since you went through all that trouble to wake me... just to find a prank, I'm sending you into the past, by 800 years!" A blue flame lit around Gilda, "Wait, I wasn't expecting any of this! Don't do this to me!" Gilda shouted, she ran forawrd and tripped the flames, a flaming red hand grabbed her back into the time flame, "You got no choice... you're staying there... forever" The voice echoed down with a evil laugh, Gilda just sat there and cried, the flames went high into the air and flew straight into Gilda. All those fun times she had was now being erased from her time, since childhood, everypony she knew forgot about her, forever, only she remembers them... After no success of the CMC trying to get the mane 6 to gather without being busy trying to find Sweetie Belle, everypony started to give up, but Rarity would do anything, anything at all! Earlier that day, Spike offered to help Rarity tidy Sweetie Belle's room, not selling anything, just tidy, "I thank you so much, Spike... here's a gem in return, Please... just turn it into jewelry, it's one of Sweetie Belle's favorite types of gems" Rarity handed other a purple pinkish gem to Spike, "Rarity, I thank you for the gem, and I promised I won't eat it! I'll do something with it, but... Dᴀᴍɴ ʏᴏᴜ ɢᴇᴍ, I'll keep it safe, promise!" Spike offered, "You're so sweet, Spike..." Rarity finished up Sweetie Belle's room by tidying her teddy bears and placing them near Sweetie Belle's pillow. Spike felt something being delivered, a green flame burped out of Spike with a newspaper, "Why would Celestia send Twilight a newspaper?" Rarity asked, "I've got no idea... wait, legend of the time tomb discovered! Oh wow" Spike gave the newspaper to Rarity to take a look at, "I wonder... I heard legends that a spirit in this tomb could recover lost time friends or family, I wonder if Sweetie Belle time traveled..." Rarity asked herself, "That's impossible, how could Sweetie Belle know such advanced magic anyway?" Spike asked. "Good point... well... Spike, are you ok?" Rarity asked, "Yup... just another letter..." Spike replied with a green flaming burp, a scroll came onto the ground, labeled 'For Rarity', Rarity looked at the label and opened the scroll. 'Dear Rarity. Under some investigations, I sent you this newspaper for clues where Sweetie Belle may of disappeared to, but I wouldn't try going to this tomb just yet until we can't find anything else to try and solve this investigation, I will send you a location when this time may come, so please take a look a the paper and keep it safe for future reasons. Your sincerely, Princess Celestia' What a short letter, Rarity thought, Rarity didn't take any further actions yet until Spike leaved her house, "Spike, you did a great job, here's some bits aswell, buy yourself something like an ice cream, it's up to you, I got some work to do alone" Rarity gave the 5 bits to Spike,, "Alright Rarity, you take care" Spike exited the building, with happiness, he would do anything for Rarity! After a few hours of a normal day, the green pony that was with Gilda appeared in Ponyville in a panic, first pony she spoke to was Rainbow Dash to explain what happened to Gilda since she knew Gilda most, "What? Who in the hay is Gilda!?" Rainbow asked, "She was your friend you grew up with, a griffin!" the pony tried to explain, "I wouldn't be friends with a griffin, Lime Jelly, never, I hate their attitudes, but they are good creatures" Rainbow Dash got a little bit confused, "You know what, Rainbow? Fine,,, just... ugh, fine," Lime Jelly flew off in a strassed mood. Lime Jelly decided to go find Pinkie Pie, since Gilda told a story about her, she thought Pinkie Pie would be the pony to tell, "Ok... Gilda said something about... uh... Sugar Cube Corner..." Lime Jelly told her self, she looked for a candy-like building while flying over Ponyville, she sights the building and walks in, "Oh hello there, Lime Jelly, anything I can get you?" Mrs. Cake asked, "I'm looking for Pinkie Pie, I go news to tell her, it's urgent" Lime Jelly quickly replied.
