//------------------------------// // The Epic Conclusion // Story: Lewis, Something Magical Has Occured // by Haybales22 //------------------------------// Lewis walked down the street, the books in his saddle bags swaying side to side as he headed towards the library. He greeted various towns people on his way, even had a short conversation with Fluttershy as she passed. He went through the market, passing stalls and nodding to ponies he knew. He stopped at a stand run by Applejack and bought an apple as a snack, grabbing another one for Simon. He levitated the fruit in front of him as he walked, taking large bites from the crisp apple. He continued down the road, and as he went over a hill, he could see Rainbowdash flying low to the ground, talking to a pink maned white earth pony. Rainbowdash was obviously bored of having to stay so low to the ground in order to talk to the pony. She spotted Lewis and called him over. "Hey, Trekkie!" She yelled, a nickname she had given him after he explained what his cutiemark was from. She didn't understand what Star Trek was, but she liked calling him anything other than Lewis. The other mare had perked up slightly at the name. "This is... uh..." Rainbowdash stopped. "Owlomadia." the mare said. Lewis found this name, and the voice familiar. "Right, that." Rainbowdash mumbled. "Anyways, I have stuff to do, so you can show her around, right? I know you aren't busy." and without a word from Lewis, she rocketed off into the distance, leaving Lewis alone with the strange pony in the middle of the road. Lewis looked to the mare, who looked rather skinny and scruffy, her coat matted and her mane and tail filled with mud and twigs. He levitated the extra apple he had bought from his saddle bag and held it in front of the mare. "Hungry?" He asked. The mare nodded and grabbed the apple with her teeth. She raised a front leg and balanced the fruit on the frog of her hoof, taking delicate bites from the apple. She ate the apple whole, even eating the core, then smiled at the stallion. Lewis laughed, then motioned for her to walk with him. He could see Sugarcube Corner from where he stood, and decided to stop and pay Simon a visit at work. The mare had said her name so quickly, it sounded a bit like... no. Ha- She was in England, in the real world. Lewis shook his head, trying to clear her from his mind, but only succeeded in throwing his glasses from his face. He'd do anything to see her again, but he couldn't. He caught his glasses mid-air with magic, preventing them from shattering on the pavement below him. He put on his glasses and blinked, blushing and smiling at the mare. They continued walking towards the bakery, the mare trotting awkwardly to keep up. He almost regretted deciding to take her with him, knowing full well how Pinkie Pie greeted new ponies. Upon entering the bakery, the mare inhaled deeply, absorbing the sugary aroma of cakes and sweets. The pony Rainbowdash had called "Trekkie" left her at a small table, instead of chairs, which a pony would not be able to sit on, there were large cushions. She sat upon one of the cushions, sinking in slightly. The red stallion went up to the main counter and talked to a blue and pink mare. The mare exited through a door behind the counter, then re-emerged, carrying two plates on her mane, each one holding a cupcake. The stallion gave her a few golden coins, then levitated the plates and walked towards the table where his companion sat. He passed a plate to the white mare, and she nodded her thanks. She looked to the treat, yellow sponge, a choclatey topping, and she suspected when she took a bite- "Its called a Jaffa Cake," the stallion said, interupting her thoughts, "It may look like a regular cupcake, but the inside is-" "Orange creme..." She finished. The stallion looked up from his cupcake, into her eyes, and she looked into his. Their eyes widened at the same moment as they realized. "LEWIS!" Hannah cried, hurling herself at him with tears in her eyes, knocking over him, the table and their food. She didn't care, she had her Lewis back. "Hannah!" Lewis choked out, his throat hurting and tears running down his face in happiness, love, and the pain of being suddenly crushed by nearly five hundred kilograms of pony. Hannah looked down to him and kissed him with four months of built up passion and love. After being separated all this time, they were reunited. "What the hay is going on here?" a voice shouted, completely and utterly shattering the moment. The pair looked up to see a small orange pegasus in a chef's hat glaring at them. Lewis chuckled, and Hannah leapt towards the pony, knocking the pegasus backwards. "Simon!" she cried joyfully, embracing her lost friend. "Hannah? HANNAH!" Simon cried, hugging the mare. He withdrew and smiled naughtily. "Do I get a kiss too?" Hannah replied with a kiss to his muzzle, causing the orange pegasus's face to become as red as the unicorn stallion's. Lewis trotted over and embraced his two friends, so happy they were together again at last.
