//------------------------------// // Family Reunion? // Story: A Good Share of Lives // by Sea Pony //------------------------------// Jessica trip on a rock and fell on the hard dirt road of Ponyville, every ponies in the street look at her with worry before a pink aura levitate her back on her four new limbs. She turn around and look at the small Unicorn who had help her. ``Thanks Meek Sky I don’t know what I would do without you.`` The shy pony smile brightly back at her. Jessica sigh as she tried with difficulty to walk on her four hooves. She couldn’t believe she had to change of species entirely, why had her brother had become a pony in the first place!? - - - - - ``Samuel Dubois?`` The hooded god of death ask surprised. ``Well I didn’t heard that name since fifteen years ago when a human like you pass these door.`` Jessica eyes widden. ``Fifteen years?! But my brother died thirty years ago!`` ``Relax miss Jessica, the time between your world and this world work differently.`` The goddess of life replied. ``When Samuel came here, she decided to go in Equestria a world a lot different from what you know where beast of your old legends and magic is common thing.`` Harmony state calmly. ``She? What do you mean she? Samuel is a man!`` The god of balance wince as he realise his mistake. ``It’s a really complicated and long story miss Jessica, but it’s not my place to tell it your sister and her family should tell you what happened fifteen years ago.`` Her brother was a she? What the fuck was this joke? If it was their idea of a prank it was not funny. ``Ok pretending for an instant I believe everything you say, what should I do to see my bro- sister.`` She said the last word with a weird expression. ``Well it’s all depend if you want to stay with Samuel or not, if you were to stay in this new world, you would need to become a creature of Equis`` Author said. ``What? Why?!`` The woman ask not liking this turn of event. ``Like I said Equis is a place where magic exist in abundance, on Earth it’s too exist but in a much lower level just enough to make the non-magical creatures live. If you were to keep a human body you would be lucky if your body survived more than a full year.`` Author responded. ``...What are the species that live in this Equis?`` Jessica ask more calmly than before. ``Plenty! There Griffins, Minotaurs, Caribou, Deers, Cows, Buffaloes, Changelings, Donkeys and Mules, just to name a few of the sapient creatures, because I don’t think you would be interested in becoming an animal do you?`` Those where sapient creatures? More than half of them where animals back on Earth! ``So what did become my brot- I mean sister?`` She ask again with a weird expression. ``Well Samuel decided to become an Equestrian Pegasus ponies, the three main races of this country are the Earth ponies, the Pegasi and the Unicorns.`` Author state. ``Pony? My brother decided to become a pony?! What the fuck Sam? I through it was just a show you enjoyed like that!`` She took deep breath, she wasn’t sure if she wanted to be one of those ponies. But she had wasted all her life away to find what happen to her brother, now she had the chance to not only find what happened but to find him alive and healty. What was humanity anyway? Humanity was always a word that defined sapience in the human culture, so technically by that logic. If she was still a living sapient creature with emotions and inteligence she would still have her humanity in the end. ``What are the differences between the three races of ponies?`` ``Well Earth Pony is the most common race they are stronger, have more stamina, can make grow plants a lot faster than usual and are more resistant than the others, they also have a very deep connection with the earth. The Pegasi like Wint- I mean your sister can fly, control the weather and walk on cloud, they are more sensible to physical sensations because they are the race that use the most magic in every things they do, in using so much more magic constantly their natural defenses are a lot more feeble. And finally the Unicorns, their magic is concentrated around their brain. Because of that they tend to be a little bit smarter than the other races, but not too much and even with that advantage certain are still some of the most stupid living being I ever seen, like this Blueblood fellow for exemple. Anyway I got sidetracked here, the most important trait however is that they can control magic at their will with their horn. But most Unicorns can only cast spells around a specific type of skills.`` Jessica through about it, each races had interesting aspect but she had to admit she had always wanted to do magic. ``I want to be a Unicorn,`` God did that felt childish saying those words out loud. She saw Kira nodded at her before a strange feeling overcame her and suddenly she black out, how could she black out without having a body? She didn’t know, but that was a mystery that would probably never be solved. - - - - - ``Are we here soon?`` Jessica complain to the ‘mother’ of her ‘sister’. ``My friend’s house is not too far, just a minute away.`` Fluttershy replied encouragely, she still couldn’t believe her sister had found a new family just like that, she couldn’t blame her after all she was all alone in this new world, but it’s was just strange. - - - - - Jessica stood mouth agaped at the sight before her, there was no fucking way this place could exist. Yet everything was just in front of her to prove the contrary, the Crystal Empire stood proudly before the former human. This sort of place was suppose to exist in legends who would be later be found to be false or in fairytales for kids, but not in real life! The mare shook her head and held a piece of paper in front of her face, unfortunately the piece fell of her grip. Jessica tried to grab it but without her fingers she was useless. Sighing in frustration she look at the paper a last time and decided to find the house by memory. Finally she founded it and gently knock on the door made of crystal, she heard quiet foo- hoofsteps coming closer of the door before a butter yellow Pegasus answered the door. She seem a little out of place since she was the only pony in this place who’s coat didn’t looked like a sparkling crystal. ``Can I help you miss?`` The mare ask with a soft voice. ``Yes I’m searching for my brother, the Elders said he’s a she now and go by the name of Winter Song?`` The first response she got was the sound of glassvshatering on the floor. Jessica spun around and saw that the sound came from a Crystal Pony mare who had close her window on her vase. She shook her head annoyed at the distration before she return her full attention on the mare who had her eyes wide and her mouth agap. ``You’re Dream sister?!`` Dream? Who was that didn’t they tell her her brother name was Winter? ``Anyway I would really be happy if I could see my brother, miss?`` ``I’m sorry miss, but it’s seem the Elders didn’t give you all the informations about your brother’s situation. Dream is dead.`` ``I know that! But he came here after, that what the Elders said!`` ``Yes he was reborn as a pony and came in Equestria, but one year after his arrival he was killed again. This time permanently.`` ``But why did the Elders told me she was alive here in Equis?!`` She screamed in desperation. ``a-Are you familiar with the concept of reincarnation?`` Jessica nodded confused. ``Well after Dream died he was reborn as a filly, I named her Winter Song and took care of her for fourteen years. She’s still have the soul of your brother. She have some traits that stayed the same like her love for her family but all the rest, her memories, most of her personality and her appearance all have changed.`` ``Great so basicaly my brother is like an amnesic Time Lord, just great!`` Fluttershy didn’t commented. ``I still want to see her, even if she’s not my brother I just have to see what my brother becamed.`` The Shy Pegasus nodded, ``I understand.`` - - - - - And now here they were in the middle of this ‘Ponyville’ searching for Winter Song. ``Here we are! Carousel Boutique.`` Fluttershy said with an happy sigh. They were in front of a large building in form of carousel, there even was ponies made of plastic on top of the building. Fluttershy trot in first followed by her daughter and the former human. The bell above announced all their arrival, ``Welcome to Carousel Boutique where everything is chic and magnifique.`` Rarity open her eyes and gasp as she saw her best friend standing with her daughter. ``Fluttershy! Darling it’s so good to see you! I think you arrive just at the good time Winter Song felt homesick for a little while. Oh! How rude of me I didn’t notice we had a third guest who would you be dear?`` ``I’m Jessica`` The Unicorn said shaking the hoof of the white mare, Rarity face scrunch into a frown. ``Are you one of those bronies that been around lately?`` She ask curiously. ``Eh I don’t think so, I don’t even know what is a brownie outside of being a patisery.`` Rarity place a hoof on her mouth to not laugh at the ignorant mare. ``Good to know you aren’t one of these obsessed pony. So what can I help you with miss?`` Rarity ask but it was Fluttershy who responded. ``We want to see Winter, could you send her down?`` ``Certainly Fluttershy.`` The fashionesta said with a smile and trot upstair, it wasn’t long before I came down of the stair to greet my mom. ``Mom! I’m so glad to see you, I’m sorry if I made you sad the other day.`` I guiltily look at the ground. ``It’s ok Winter, but I’m not sure you should be the one to apologise.`` My mom said with a frown. ``Eh?`` I tile my head curiously at my mom, what was she talking about? ``Winter this is Jessica, she was onced your biological sister.`` My eyes narrowed at this new. ``What?! You were one of the ponies who abandoned me when I was a foal? How dare you come to me after all these years?`` I glared coldly at the new mare. ``No Winter! She didn’t abandon you, there something I have hide you all your life that you must know.`` I gulp nervousely and look at my mother, I could arleady tell I wouldn’t like any of this. my mom close her eyes and a tear roll down her cheek. ``Winter, the night we found you in the Whitetaill Woods Princess Celestia hided a major information to the public surounding the death of Dream.`` Why would the Princess do that? ``The only ponies who where close of him who didn’t heard of the true story behind Dream’s death was Meek Sky and... You`` Meek Sky gain a hurt look as she look at her mother, me my eyes only widden, why would I be close of Dream? ``Winter my sweetie, the reason why you never remembered the first three years of your life, is because you were born in the Whitetail Woods, you were never a random filly who simply found herself between a cross-fire between Dream and Time Skip. You’re the reincarnation of Peace Dreamer.`` ``w-What that not possible, you mean that you lied to me for fourteen years!?`` My mom wince. ``I know it’s bad, but if you knew nopony would ever let you alone, Dream became a legend by defeating a Soul Reaper you didn’t need that sort of attention while growing up.`` ``But you could have told me! I wouldn’t have said anything to anypony!`` ``No! I know you, you would have tried to raise Meek Sky with me even through you weren’t able to!`` ``Even if you didn’t told me I still helped my sister all her life, there no justification why you hide everything from me!`` ``I was scared okay! You were suppose to marry me and suddenly I had to raise you as my foal! I didn’t want you to leave me and I know you would have feel different if you knew you were supposed to be married to me in former life because we couldn’t be lovers anymore and you wouldn’t see me as your mother either!`` I shook my head before galloping outside of the boutique. ``Winter wait please! Forgive me please!`` It was hard to not listen to her, my heart scream traitor at me as I ran further away from my mother. But I needed to think it was way too much to processed. I didn’t know what to think of my life anymore, ex-fiancée and daughter of Fluttershy, how does this make any bucking sense?! ``I see you finally found the truth, I guess the cat had to be out of the bag a time or another, ahahaha! Get it? Because your best friend is a cat. Ah fuck you I find it funny.`` I look around at the stranger voice, my eyes laid on a human being who was calmly sitting on a tree bitting on a apple. ``Who the hay are you?`` I ask glaring at the man. ``Oh yeah, it’s the first time you met me as Winter Song is it? Allow me to introduce myself, Time Skip, time traveller, member of the Soul Reapers and funniest asshole in the union of the council.`` The man grin at me as my eyes widden in horror, this is the Reaper who had kill Dre- me fourteen years ago!
