//------------------------------// // The Truth // Story: My Little Disney: A Magical Journey // by Megasis101 //------------------------------// Twilight trotted through the trees while thinking about how home sick she was. She heard commotion in another section of the forest. She followed the sound. She entered another opening and saw countless Night Watchers talking to each other in confusion and fright. She turned her attention to a little voice. "Twilight!" It was Simba running toward her. She also saw her 5 other friends, Koda and Lady following behind him. "Are you ok, Twilight? Please, oh, please tell me your ok." Fluttershy said, looking worried. "What happened?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Did he say anything to you?" Rarity asked. "Nothing." Twilight tried really hard to hold back tears. "He said nothing." "Well, it's a good thing you're alright, Twi." Applejack sighed. "Yeah, Scar is the worst person I've ever met. He did....something...." He held down his head. "Terrible." He started whimpering. Twilight felt a wave of guilt wash over her. Simba whipped a tear from his eye and looked up at Twilight. "B-but it's a good thing we have you, Twilight." She felt another shock. Here came the guilty feeling again. "Um, Simba, there's something I need to..." "With your friendship that you've lend to me the first time we've met, that is beyond the kindness we all need." Another guilt wave. "Simba, I..." "You and your friends show amazing courage, it's like you were destined to be here by my side." "Simba!" Simba's expression changed when he herd how concerned Twilight was. "We need to talk to you. Immediately." Twilight exited the clearing. Simba looked at the other ponies and all they did was share the same confusion. Simba and the others also exited. Twilight looked around to see if anypony was there. She, then, looked strait back at Simba and sighed. "I can't stay. None of us can. We didn't came from your world. We aren't meant to be here and we need to get home." Simba didn't say a word. He just stared at the ground for a moment and straight back up to Twilight. "Follow me." He leapt past her and ran to a different direction into the open. Twilight followed and so did the others. They crossed the hedged borders into the park near the statue. They all ran and formed a cemi-circle in front of it. Twilight looked at the statue, then at Simba. "You..brought us here before." She reminded him. "Yes," he replied, "but.. I didn't tell you the truth before." Twilight lowered her eyelids and raised an eyebrow as if he was joking about not trusting her before. "You see, it's not just a statue to symbolize Walt and Micky's friendship," he continued, "It protects us." "Huh," Twilight said, "From what then?" "From them." Twilight immediately knew what he was talking about. "Then why was Som..... Scar, why is scar here?" "I-I don't know, I think either they are joining other more powerful, magical forces or...or it's running out." Twilight's eyes grew a bit, looking more concerned. "But that's not exactly why I brought you here." He continued. "It..." He sighed, "...it may have enough power to bring you back home." Twilight never acted faster. "How, HOW!? Please I need to know!" "Calm down." Simba answered, "Only Mickey knows and only he can put more power into it." "I need that mouse. Where is he!" "Calm down!" Simba yelled again. "No one has seen him in years, not since Walt died." Twilight softened. "But... I saw him, I found him. I can find him again." "Twilight, that's impossible. No one has seen him." Simba told her as if he had no hope. "Simba, I SAW him." "NO YOU HAVEN'T!" He leaped onto the statue base and startled the six ponies, his voice echoed. "THAT'S A LIE! THAT'S NOTHING BUT A LIE! No one have seen him. NO ONE! Before you've came we were all being threatened by THEM! I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU FOR THE LONGEST TIME! Since we lost Mickey EVERY ONE thought we had NO HOPE, that we would just DIE along with the park, but I had FAITH! I HAD FAITH THAT SOMEONE LIKE YOU WOULD COME AND SAVE US ALL! But no. All YOU WANT TO DO IS GO HOME!" Simba collapsed and started to bawl. Twilight slowly put a hoof on his back. "S-Simba. I.." "You didn't know we were in danger because I didn't tell you. I-I didn't know if you were the one yet, the one to... to save us." "Simba..." "But it sounds like you're not." He looked up to Twilight with a strict expression. In seconds he sprinted away. "Simba? Simba wait.." He disappeared into the bushes too quickly. Twilight stared at the bushes as if she were trying to find him. "Simba! Wait! Don't go!" Simba's head slowly came out of the bush. "Look, Simba, I know you are in danger and that things in your life aren't going as well so far. I-I will do what ever I can to help you., "Promise?" Twilight hesitated, "I promise." Simba smiled. He leapt from the bush onto Twilight. "Thanks, Twilight!" He gave her a big hug. Twilight hugged him back. Simba leaped back into the bushes. "Twilight? You will keep that promise, right?" She turned around and saw Koda. Lady came up beside him as if she also wanted a promise. Her other 5 friends came up, too. "Yes, I promise. I will do what ever I can to help you." Everyone smiled and passed Twilight and crossed the border. Twilight was last outside with her head down as if she regretted making that promise.
