//------------------------------// // Alicorn Party in the Libary!! // Story: Burning Flame // by dashiepie22 //------------------------------// Chapter One - Alicorn Party in the Library "What the hell just happened", Stella mumbled. Her eyes were closed. She was at a party with her friends, then she passed out. Just randomly pasted out, out of nowhere. She was waking up now, but she felt different. She couldn't feel her fingers or toes. She felt like she had a tail. It felt she had something on her forehead. She also felt naked, like she wasn't wearing any clothing. She slowly opened her eyes, only to see a pink horse with a puffy pink mane. Wait a minute. A pink horse?. "Yippee! Your awake!", the pink horse said. Horse's can't talk, what the hell is going on here?! "Talking horse!", she screamed and scrambled away, which was hard considering she couldn't seem to move her fingers or toes either. "I'm a pony, silly, and your a alicorn", the horse, pony, said. "A what?", Stella asked. "An alicorn, see", the pony said as she pulled mirror out of nowhere. Stella looked at herself in the mirror. She was a white pony with a beautiful braided golden blond mane and a horn in the middle of her forehead. Her jaw dropped, she was shocked. What the hell was going on here. An hallucination? A dream. Ya, a dream. "Now that we got that cleared up", the pony said as she put the mirror away, "I'm Pinkie Pie! Who are you?". Pinkie Pie? I guess a weird dream can have weird names. "I'm Stella". "Are you new because I've never seen you here before so you must be new because I know every pony in PonyVille and I never seen you before so your new and if your new that means you haven't met anyone yet and if you don't have any friends you must be lonely and that makes me sad so I'm going to throw you a great big party and invite everyone in PonyVille then you would have lots and lots of friends". Pinkie Pie started bouncing around the rambling about friends and parties. Stella barely caught any of it. She wasn't really listening. She was thinking about why she was having this weird dream, what was going on in it and why she suddenly passed out at the party. She was in a place called PonyVille filled with ponies, unicorns, alicorns, whatever that was and probably pegasi, too. She was a alicorn. This crazy pony's name was Pinkie Pie. Pinkie Pie was obviously ADHD. No idea why she was having this weird, messed up dream. And if it was real and not a dream, which was an opinion because she could feel everything, think and control what she does and says. She usually can't do that in her dreams. This was also so vivid and lifelike, cartoony but lifelike. Okay, so this was real, not a dream. But that doesn't make any sense! Why was she here? Stella banged her head against the floor and looked at Pinkie Pie. Pinkie Pie swinging on a rope with cakes in her....hooves while yelling "ALICORN PARTY!!!!". Stella banged her head on the ground again. "What in tarnation is all the commotion 'bout", said a pony. She had a southern accent. Stella looked around for the pony who spoke. She was standing in the doorway. She was orange with an blonde mane. She had freckles (since when did ponies have freckles) across her muzzle and was wearing a cowboy hat. "Apple Jack!!", Pinkie said. She dropped off the rope, still holding the cakes. "I'm having another Alicorn party! Wanna come, huh huh huh?!?!". "Of course I'll come Pinkie Pie, but who's the party for. 'Cause there ain't that much alicorns in Equestria", Apple Jack said. Pinkie Pie pointed to Stella, "I saw her passed out on the street, so I took her inside and waited for her to wake up so we can be friends and have an party!", Pinkie Pie explained. Apple Jack walked over to Stella and looked at Pinkie Pie, "why was she passed out on the street?". "I don't know", Pinkie Pie said as she swung by back on her rope, "she doesn't seem to remember anything". Apple Jack turned to Stella, "amnesia? Did you hit yer head, sugar cube?". "Possibly, but you see I'm not from this place. I'm from somewhere called the United States. And I'm also not a pony, I'm a human. I passed out at a party and somehow ended up in this place". "Yep, defiantly hit yer head", Apple Jack said. Stella did sound pretty out of it, even though she was telling the truth. "Come on, maybe Twilight can use her magic to help y'all. You comin' Pinkie?" "Nah", Pinkie said, swinging back and fourth, "I'll stay here and plan the ALICORN PARTY!". "Ok", Apple Jack said making her way toward the door followed by Stella, "See ya, Pinkie". "BYEE!". Apple Jack and Stella walked out the door and toward the library. "I didn't catch yer name, what was it?", Apple Jack asked Stella. "Um, Stella". "I'm Apple Jack. Nice to meet you". "You too and um, can you explain a few things to me?". "Sure. Whatcha want to know". "Well, first off, what's an Alicorn? Because Pinkie Pie kept calling me an Alicorn and I have no idea what that is". "An Alicorn is an winged unicorn", Apple Jack explained, "it's strange that--". Stella cut her off, "I HAVE WINGS!!!", she ran around as if she were chasing her tail, "THAT IS SO COOL!!". She spread her wings out, "I CAN FLY!!". She jumped up and flapped her wings, only to fall and land on her head. "Scratch that, I can't fly". Apple Jack chuckled. Then a blue Pegasus with a rainbow mane flew up and landed beside Apple Jack. "Hey, AJ", the Pegasus said., "who's this?". "Howdy Rainbow Dash, this here be Stella". Rainbow Dash walked over to Stella. "You're an Alicorn?". "Um, yes." "Sweet. Wanna race?". "Um, I can't fly". "Really, It's easy. Like this". Rainbow Dash flew up and zipped around Apple Jack and Stella creating a rainbow trail behind her and landing in front of Apple Jack. "So where you guys heading", Rainbow Dash asked her. "The Library". "Cool. See you guys there". And with that Rainbow Dash zoomed off toward the library. "Uh, has she been hanging out with Pinkie Pie?", Stella asked. Applejack chuckled "Possibly. Come on, better get to the library". They ran off towards the library. "Twilight!", Apple Jack called when her and Stella entered the library, "you here". "Yes", someone called from upstairs. They went upstairs. Rainbow Dash was passed out on a bed beside a purple Alicorn with a dark purple mane with pink and purple streaks in it. And something Stella didn't notice on the ponies, until now. This purple pony had an image on her....flank. It was of a pink six pointed star with small white stars around it. Looking back in it, she did notice something like that on the other ponies. Pinkie Pie's was of three balloons, two blue, one yellow. Apple Jack's was three apples and Rainbow Dash's was a cloud with a blue, yellow and red stripped lightning bolt coming out of it. They reminded her of a tattoo she had when she was human. It was a golden star located on her left side. It was strange that she had it because she never actually gone out to get it. She never gotten a tattoo, and if she did she wouldn't have gotten that. When she was younger she asked her parents about it, they said that they found her like that. Yep, that's right. Found her. You see, they weren't her real parents. They found her passed out on they street when Stella was, as much as they could tell, four years old. They never knew Stella's real age, real birthday, real parents or how and why she had gotten a tattoo. I mean, she was four, who gives a four year old a tattoo. "Helloo", Twilight said to Stella, knocking her out of her thoughts. "Huh", Stella said, "oh, sorry, I just zoned out for a minute". "That's okay", Twilight said, "I'll just start over. I'm Twilight Sparkle. What's your name?". "Stella". "She has amnesia", Apple Jack explained, "I thought you could heal her with yer magic". "I could use a memory spell", Twilight said as she walked downstairs followed by Apple Jack and Stella. "There was a book about it here, somewhere." She started pulling books off the shelves using her unicorn magic. "Here it is", Twilight said, opening the book with her magic, "Okay, stay still". Twilight pointed her horn at Stella and concentrated. Her horn started glowing and a glowing light beam went straight into Stella's forehead. Then it stopped. "Did it work?", Apple Jack asked. Stella tried to think of anything from this world, like what was this world, why was it full talking ponies and why she was part of it. She got nothing, "No", she said. "The book said it may take awhile to kick in", Twilight explained. "So, we'll just have to wait", Apple Jack said. They sat there silently for a couple minutes. "This is boring", Stella finally said. At that moment, Pinkie Pie jumped through the door carrying balloons, steamers and a big cake. "Pinkie?", Twilight said, "what are doing?". "Setting up for Stella's Alicorn party, of course". Twilight looked at Stella. Stella shrugged, "Not my idea". A couple minutes later, a pale yellow pony with a light pink mane walked in with a white pony with a curled blue-purple mane. "Hi Twilight", the yellow one said softly. "Hi, Fluttershy, Hi Rarity", Twilight said. Apple Jack nodded at them, "Howdy". Pinkie Pie bounced toward them, "Are you here for the party?". "Um, yes, you told us to come here", the yellow one said. "I did!'. "Um, yes". "I'm Stella, by the way", Stella said, waving a them. The yellow one, who must've been Fluttershy, stepped back a little and hide her face in her hair. The white one, Rarity, on the other hand walked right up to Stella and studied her for a bit, making Stella a little uncomfortable. Then Rarity took out a measuring tape and started measuring Stella's legs, back and all that. "Um, what are you doing?". "Oh, I have to most amazing dress design that would look just fabulous on you, darling". "Ponies where dresses?", Stella asked. Rarity looked at her. "She has amnesia, Rarity, give her some space"', Apple Jack told Rarity. "Oh my dear", Rarity said and started informing Stella about fashion and all that. "Um, I'm just going to go over here now", Stella said as she inched away from Rarity and ended up beside Fluttershy. Fluttershy didn't seem as crazy as the others, probably best to stay around her. "Hi, you must be Fluttershy", Stella said, she put her hoof up for Futtershy to shake. Fluttershy made a squeaking noise and ran beside Twilight. "What did I do?", Stella asked. "You didn't do anything", Twilight explained, "Fluttershy is just really shy". "Makes sense", Stella mumbled under her breath. "I'm sorry", Fluttershy said softly from behind Twilight. She came out a little and her hoof out for Stella to shake. Stella walked up to her and shook her hoof. All of a sudden, a bright light came from behind them and everypony, except Stella who wasn't looking in the direction where the light came from. "Twilight", a voice said. It was a beautiful, calm but powerful voice, "You are--". She stopped in mid-sentence when Stella turned around to see what was going on. The pony the voice was coming from was an white alicorn with a multi-colored flowing mane. She wore a golden crown. "Stella?', she said, looking a Stella. "Princess Celestia", Twilight said, "you know Stella?". "Yes", Princess Celestia answered, "Stella is my daughter".
