The Spider's game.

To strike harmony with a changeling.

5/3/2031 A special day.

hello again, for the 73rd time in these so far, 2 months ive been writing this. This is Two Pie. Today is my 16th birthday. yes, i made it to my sweet 16. or, what was supposed to be sweet. so far, there have been rumors of an uprising against the queen. yes, the queen of equestria, arachnid. i wouldn't mind an anarchy, the only thing i wish for right now is some sun. its been winter for long enough, about 3 straight months past February. every pony has tried to pull a winter wrap up, but it just wont happen. it all gets cleaned up for one and noe single night, then the next day "BOOM!" its a blizzard... i suspect that if i can just get to twilight's library one of these days i can find some back story to equestria-

The door slammed open to Two Pie's room. it was his mother, and none other than the once sweet and caring, now hardened and brittle, yet still fun filled, pinkie pie.

"Two Pie! Quick! you gotta get to the cellars! changeling guards are at the door wanting to search the house, and bakery for anypony who can be in the guard!"

" I'm way ahead of you ma!"

within two seconds, twopie ran out of his room, sprung down the stairs, and shut the cellar door behind him, where he hid behind the flag of New-Equestria...

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

it was atleast two hours before the changelings left, and Two Pie was lucky, he hadn't had breakfast yet and his stomach was about to roar like a dragon. then again, he'd never seen a dragon, but apparently dragons fly around, all free in the sky now a days. How Two Pie had wished so much to be able to go outside today, but he wouldn't be allowed by his ever loving and over protective mother, pinkie pie.

Something then clicked in Two Pie's head. then he thought to himself: "what if i could go outside, without being seen! no. that'd be impossible, but...." Two Pie was searching now, after his older insane idea, he remembered, that if he could get to twilight's old library, she did have a few magical artifacts, and its a 1 minute trot to the library, and since he was a master and sneaking now, with years of experience, that would end up being put to the best use.

It was something about two hours before Two Pie left, and it was getting dark. the moment he stepped hoof out of sugar cube corner, he sprinted to the nearest shrub, which he hid in while a group of changelings marched by, in the clunky Armour they wear now a days."that was close" Two Pie silently mimicked while he started to back up out of the shrub, when suddenly, he backed his blank flank, and yes, he hadn't ever gotten the chance to gain his cutie mark, which he thought would be a sneaking cutie mark. he had flinched a bit then froze, hoping a changeling guard wasn't about to shoot a paralysis spell on him, when he heard a peculiar and foreign sounding voice say:

"dont fret, my dear blank flank, for i am none of the changeling rank."

it sounded like a poorly written limerick, that was said by a VERY foreign voice. when Two Pie backed his head around to look at this living obstacle, he saw a white pony, with a golden nose ring, and what looked to be grey painted stripes all over him.

"Hello?" Two Pie whispered with a surprised face to show, with a sudden reply: "Hello Blank Flank!"

"oy, would'a stop calling me that! my name is Two Pie!" He hissed, at this garish looking zebra.

"im zeru! the zon ov' zecora!"

"aah!" Two Pie said in his head while Zeru stilled introduced himself, "hes a zebra!"

"what are you doing out here T.P?" Zeru said with a peculiar look, and a crackly, yet low tone of voice.

"Well... im going to twilight's house, to see if she has any invisibility spells, or cloaks..."

"aah! you wish to see what dee purple pony has! i can lead you there lickidy split!"

without any say in anything, Zeru touched his horn to Two Pies forehead, and with a flash of light, they were in the library. specifically, the library that was about 10 yards away from Two Pie, when they flashed up.

suddenly, a shriek was heard, what sounded to be a tea pot was spilled, and then a relieved looking Alicorn stepped down the stairs.. it was none other than the mystical mare Twilight sparkle. "oh thank goodness! i thought you were changelings, and if you were, i would've been captured for some reason, then i would've...." she muttered on, as she predicted what would've happened if they were changelings, then she finished asking: "you're not changelings, are you?"

"no!" Two Pie said, before:

"ov' courze not mad'am!" Zeru said, like a gentle stallion.

then, another pony came slowly walking down the stairs, past the princess, and down to the two stallions, which were both speechless, when they saw the light purple colored pony, with silky shiny hair. Her cutie mark was a flower. she most likely was a great tea brewing pony, that made the tea they heard get spilled all over the floor.

"I'm Aurora!" her eyes said this, as she put the two colts in astonishment at what beauty lied ahead of them.

Two Pie then coughed, to break the two or three second silence, and replied "I'm Two Pie. and this is Zeru. a-"

"yes, a Zebra, i know. its not like Zecora hasn't visited the library ever. she used to talk about you so much Zeru... until she passed."

Yes. Zecora passed away from a lethal dose of some drugs she made, to cure little fillies in ponyville. it was Changelings that forced it down her throat, and feed of her shocked emotions from knowing that she'd die.

Zeru broke out into crying, due to never knowing how he never knew his mother.. apparently, he was 2 or 3 months old when Zecora was killed. "I'LL HAVE DAT BASTARD QUEEN'S EAD' ON A STICK!"

With a sudden jerk in Two Pie's hoof, he cut off Zeru's sentence, with the infuriated zebra's spit on his hoof. "im sorry Zeru, but im afraid i might just get to that before you, if i could just find out the history of equestria on enslavement..."

"oh, i can help you Two Pie!" Twilight said with an eager tone, finally being able to pull off a librarian job for the first time in 13 years. with a low simmering purple look, radiating off of her horn, about twenty or so books flew off the shelf's, from upstairs, and the level they were on, and with a sudden jerk, Two Pie was randomly looking at a corner of the room, saying that "this probably wasn't the first time Twilight ever did this..." silence was the key after that, like it was a professional sport, and they were playing for the gold then Two Pie realized that he inherited the powers of the Pie Family. the fact that he was trying to break the 4th wall, was making the other ponies sick to their stomachs, but in this case, of how dark it was,(the mood was dark, not the lighting) they all just looked at him in surprise, at his sudden ability to do that. Two Pie wasn't surprised that he was doing this, at 16. his mother inherited these powers, when she was about 14, making him 2 years off.

A sudden knock on the door was heard, and Twilight hushed them off, into the secret cellar, under that little table in the middle of the room. It was dark and dusty down there, but they managed. it was about 2 hours, before they finally thought that they had to take a look, and when they spread their eyes around the room, it was tragic. the books were all torn, ripped, and burnt, while the windows were shattered, and the door was busted, along with what looked like hell in a library, was the quiet sense that Twilight had been taken. A note lied on the ground... a scroll, that was titled "Letter #2,856,723 To: Celestia" it went by:

Dear Kids,
The title was what it was, to mislead the changelings. they are quite low in the IQs. If/When you get this note, immediately got to rarity, in the Crystal empire. she shall be able to help from there, along with disguises, new characters to cosplay as while this reign of terror goes on, and hopefully, a hiding spot. Please do not, and i mean DO NOT come to Canterlot. this note is here, to lead you away from Canterlot. it is the most insecure area in all of equestria.
Sincerely, the last letter from
-Twilight Sparkle.

There was a silence after Two Pie read it aloud, then a few tears from Aurora, and then a shriek of terror from Two Pie. a hilarious shriek that was of a mare's. "WHY IS EVERYTHING BLACK? I CANT SEE! AHHHH!"

"Two Pie, you've been blind for your whole life" Aurora said with a comforting hoof-hug. "your mother wrote about it, when you were born."

"No... its... i... i could see before though.. i..." Two Pie had put two and two together. he just got the thought, as if he took it from his future, which with his 4th wall breaking powers, he thought was totally possible, "i can see, as long as i dont acknowledge my sight, while if i do, like reading, or focusing on something with my eyes, then i go blind..."

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Two Pie was visited by a pink and blue orb that sounded familiar in his dreams that night. it kept repeating the words "i love you," and "be safe." Two Pie woke up, sweaty all over, shaking, like he was having an anxiety attack, yet... it was a calm dream. something started circling in his head, "mom" and "pinke" and also "dead." He then went down stairs, to the bottom floor of sugar cube corner, where he found something that'd change his life. a golden necklace, with a shattered gem, that looked like it could fit an area on the necklace if it was all together. like a blue balloon. then he saw something reflect a bit of moon light bouncing in through the windows onto the floor. it was almost red, which Two Pie followed, and saw, a mutilated body. of what should have been... his own mother, Pinkie Pie. Two Pie then suddenly, and probably woke up every pony within ponyville, with a wild and sudden cry to heaven "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! i will have my hoofs covered in the blood of the changelings. i will have the queen's head on a stick, and hoofs as walking sticks... i will make sure that half spider, half pony bitch, will die.

He ran, oh no, he SPRINTED towards the library, grinding his teeth, letting the wind wipe away his tears, trying to stay unheard, he reached the door of the library, kicked it down, even though it had been put up hours before.

"Zeru! Aurora! were going to find the others, and reform the elements of harmony!"

" Who?" asked aurora sleepily, wondering what had happened.

"you know my mother. pinke pie."

"mhm." Zeru replied, as he walked down the stairs, one eye open and the other closed."

"shes dead..." Two Pie said, as they emotions being inhanced, and mixed by the sleepiness, Two Pie explained what he saw. the blood, the moonlit trail, and the body.

"yes. we must go and get the other children of harmony" Aurora replied to Two Pie's final sentence of the story. "we shall hope to get them soon, before summer. if summer ever comes.
