Chapter 3 - The Dream
Twilight's Room In The Ponyville Library September 12th 1002 Yes It Is Still The Same Date
Twilight couldn't believe she had wings. Wings, for her own little self!
A few thoughts flew through her head then. Her first thought was about flying around her room. The second was telling Rainbow Dash in the other room and asking her for proper instructions about how to fly. Her third thought was why she had never noticed them before. The final thought was about going back to the bed and waiting till tomorrow to do ideas #1-3.
The fourth thought was seeming pretty persuasive right about then. She had lost her memory, woke up in a cold room, interrogated to only reveal her name to them, and gotten a new home in a single day. She was pretty tired after that.
Without another thought, she crept back into the bed to sleep.
Upstairs Bedroom Ponyville Library No Need For The Date
Rainbow left the alicorn to her room. It felt strange to her, taking care of another pony. She may have taken care of Spike ever since his egg was found, but he was a Dragon! Not a pony.
What made her even more uncomfortable, was the fact that besides her being a completely lost alicorn that appeared out of nowhere, she seemed familiar to the pegasus. She was certain she never met her before, but she still seemed familiar.
What bothered her even more, was how she reacted to hearing about the 5 Elements of Harmony. What did she mean that I was hiding something from her? she thought. I'm certain I told her the truth about the elements.
"What are you thinking about?" Spike the dragon asked her.
"Nothing much," she told him. "It just feels that I've met her somewhere before, when I know for certain that I haven't."
"The unicorn?"
"Actually, she is an alicorn."
"Whoa, really? That's so cool! There used to only be three alicorns, but now there are four! Dash, you got to admit that it is cool!"
"Yeah, it is cool, but before earlier today, she never existed."
"What do you mean?"
"Alicorns have a power that tells them where another alicorn is. Before today, Celestia only sensed two other alicorns. When Twilight down there appeared, she instantly sensed another."
"Your point is?"
"She never existed," Rainbow said. "She just appeared out of thin air. Alicorns don't just appear out of thin air, Spike. She isn't supposed to be here."
"Why?" Spike asked with a suddenly stern face.
"Huh?" Rainbow asked back.
"You heard me. Why?"
"Why what, Spike?"
"Why shouldn't she exist?"
"You heard me. She just appeared out of thin air. Ponies don't just appear out of thin air, Spike."
"That may be true," he said. "But there is also the fact that she is here now. You can't deny that Dash."
"Then what am I supposed to say?" she asked.
"That isn't for me to decide," he replied.
Rainbow stood there after hearing his response. That's all she did for the next half hour. Stand. Spike had noticed this, and went to bed without another word.
After the half hour was up, Rainbow came to her senses. Looking around, she noticed that all the lights were off with the baby dragon sleeping in his little basket. Her bed called to her. She obliged, and layer in her bed to sleep.
Dreamscape Yay! There Is No Time Here
Twilight layer in a small field of fresh grass. The grass felt warm beneath her, edging her to stay lying in the field forever.
"Twilight!"
The blue sky above her had very few clouds, which was very much to her liking. It have her an even better time to enjoy the sunlight.
"Twilight! Can you hear me?"
A trio of butterflies flew past her face onto an apple tree. What got her attention even more, were the three balloons tied to the tree with only three apples on it. Carved into the trunk of the tree was the shape of three gemstones. These gemstones were painted bright blue, much to the weirdness of the dream.
"Twilight! Answer me!"
The sudden noise interrupted her thoughts about the tree. She turned in the direction of the voice, but nothing was there except for the empty field.
"Answer me, Twilight!"
The voice was perfectly clear on what it wanted. It knew Twilight, and was looking for her.
"Who's there?" she called to the voice.
The sky suddenly filled with puffy white clouds. One cloud floated right above the tree from earlier and shot out a blast of rainbow colored lightning. The tree, however, didn't catch on fire. Instead, it changed between all the colors of the rainbow.
"Twilight!" the voice once again called.
Turning once again, she saw a dark blue unicorn standing in the middle of the field. A completely worried look on her face showed.
"Twilight! Where have you been?" she asked. "You just disappeared from in front of us. Celestia couldn't sense you anywhere. Where did you go?"
"Umm," Twilight faltered. "I'm sorry, but have we met before?"
"Of corurse we have, Twilight! Who else helped restore me to being the princess of the night?"
"I don't think you have the right mare," Twilight said to the unicorn. "I have never met you before."
"Don't joke like that, Twilight. You know I don't like it when I am being toyed with."
"I'm not joking. I really haven't met you before."
"This is starting to get ridiculous, Twilight," the mare said as she revealed two wings flaring from her sides. "Look at me and tell me you don't recognize the one and only Princess Luna!"
Twilight got the looking part down. As soon as the mare revealed two wings on her back, Twilight fell into a bottomless hole that appeared behind her. She fell through the darkness until she awoke.
Ponyville Library September 13th 1002 Finally A New Date
Twilight awoke with a lot of sweat on her forehead. The mare in her dreams didn't seem to have those wings a second before she unfolded them. It was completely unexpected of her to see both wings and a horn on the same pony.
In fact, that was the first pony she had seen with both wings and a horn. She had seen Rainbow Dash with her wings, A bunch of unicorns at Canterlot, and Pinkie Pie had neither wings, nor a horn.
I should ask Rainbow about it later, she thought. She knows more about ponies than I do.
She started her walk towards the door out of the room. She then noticed a mirror standing net to the wall, covered in dust. Walking over to it, she blew on it, making most of the dust scatter in different directions. The mare she saw in the mirror looked exactly like her. Her purple wings rested to her sides, her mane was-
Wait. What's that in her mane? She couldn't see it properly because there was still some dust in the way. Blowing directly at the spot where she saw the weird lump, the dust cleared away from the mirror, making it visible to see the horn atop her head.
Another Part of Ponyville Library The Day That Is About 17 Lines Above This Bold Lettering
A scream interrupted Rainbow from her blissful sleep. She had dreamed about her being the newest member of The Wonderbolts, her lifetime heroes.
That dream, however, was fairly common to her. The screaming of a mare just downstairs was not. Instantly, she threw off the covers, and flew strait downstairs toward the scream.
The scream had come from Twilight's room, which was strange because nopony would ever want to hurt her for any reason whatsoever. Opening the door, she could clearly see that there was no danger inside the room. Twilight sat in front of a dusty mirror, staring at her reflection.
"What's wrong Twi?" Rainbow desperately asked. "Why did you scream?"
"Why do I have both a horn and wings?" she asked back. "Nopony else does, so why do I?"
"What do you mean, Twi? I thought you knew you had wings and a horn."
"No, I didn't. You have wings, ponies in Canterlot have horns, and Pinkie has neither. so why do I have both?"
"I don't know," Rainbow confessed. "My mentor just found you lying in a field. I have no idea why you are what you are?"
"And what does it make me?" Twilight asked. "A pegacorn?"
Rainbow muffled a laugh. "No. Your an alicorn."
"An alicorn?"
"Yeah, that;s right."
"An alicorn," she repeated. "Its a nice title, but I like pegacorn better."
"Why's that?" Rainbow asked, still trying very hard not to laugh.
"Because it hilarious!" she said, bursting into a gigantic laughing spree.
Rainbow joined in, not being able to resist the urge to laugh anymore. The two of them continued to laugh until Twilight broke the silence.
"S- So," she began, still laughing a bit. "Are there any other alicorns other than me?"
"Yeah, actually," Rainbow replied. "There are three others like you. Princess Cadence, Princess Luna, and my mentor, Princess Celestia."
Twilight's ears had perked when she heard that second name. "Did you say, Princess Luna?"
"Yeah! Why? Do you know her?"
"In a way, yes. She appeared in my dream last night. She knew me, but I had never met her before. At least, I dont remember meeting her before."
"That's strange. Maybe one day I will take you to see her. You might find out some answers about your past."
"Maybe."
A knock came at the front door, which Rainbow immediately went to answer it. Opening the door, she saw Pinkie standing at the door, handing out invitations to a party.
"Hi, Dashie!" she said.
"Hey, Pinkie," she said back. "What brings you here today?"
"The surprise party, duh," she said as if it wasn't anything to be not knowing.
"Pinkie, its a welcome party. You told Twilight about it yesterday. She already knows about it."
"Naw Uh," she argued. "Her party is now being combined with another pony's party. Both of them will be super surprised to find their parties combined."
"Right. Anyway, when is the party?"
"In 30 minutes."
"Pinkie, you should start planning your parties better. You hand out invitations a couple days before the party, not half an hour before it."
"But then I would have to wait to throw the party! You know how I get when I don't throw a party for a couple days, Dashie."
Rainbow gulped, remembering the last time she had experienced that. "Yeah, don't remind me," she said.
"Good! See you at the party!"
She bounced off, leaving the invitation in the door's mailbox.
"Hey Twi!" she called. "How about we go for a walk around the town?"
