//------------------------------// // Part 2 chapter 6 // Story: A daughters life and purpose // by Punsz //------------------------------// "Well well well if it isn't the freak and her trusty sidekick." I let out an annoyed sigh knowing all too well who that voice belonged too. "What do you want Truffle." The filly before us was a very pudgy filly with her chocolate brown coat and her vanilla white mane. Her family was known for their big chocolate company all over Equestria. "What I want is for you and all your freaky things to get out of Equestria." She stuck up her nose in the air. My daddy says that things like you are the reasons why we all us normal ponies will never be safe." "YEaaahh!" Said her small band of followers each of them having the same view as Truffle. Suddenly somepony slammed her hoof on the table. I saw Juniper jump up from her seat, her face was covered in pure anger. "You leave her alone you big bully!" Juniper yelled out. Giving a snort Truffle walked in front of Juniper, she was about a couple of inches taller than her making Juniper looking back up at her. The two stared each other down both of them sending each other death glares. The whole scene remind me of a scene from a book The Stallion, The Gryphon, And the Dragon. Everything was quiet and for some weird reason I heard an eagle in the background and... is that a tumble weed? "Oh yeah and what are you going to AHHH!" Truffle screamed suddenly. Looking around frantically she started to have a scared look on her face. "Something bit me!" We started to look around the ground fearing that whatever bit her might bite us, but we saw nothing. Quickly she lift up her hind leg to check the wound, but to everyponies surprise there weren't any bite marks or even an indent, all there was some spit. Juniper and I gave each other a confused look. Suddenly Truffle raised her head to look straight at me glaring. "I bet it was you wasn't it!" I gave her a blank stare. "How could it have been me if I'm literally sitting right here, your literally standing a foot away from me." Before she could answer she let out another scream. This made her run out of Sugarcube corners with her little followers right behind her. I looked up at Juniper with a confused look on my face. "Do you know what just happened right now?" "No idea." I let out a small sigh. I suddenly felt a hoof on my shoulder, I looked up to see Juniper smiling at me. "Come on Chirpy cheer up you can't ponies like truffle to let you down like that, besides it's your day off let's make the best of it." I smiled back at her. "Thanks Juniper that makes me 'CHOMP!' ahhh!...what the?" I felt a pair of wet slimy gum on flank, looking down I saw a familiar green scaled and purpled eyed alligator. "Gummy?" Suddenly as if on cue a familiar pink mare popped out of the flower vase on our table. "Gummy what are you doing down here?" Picking up the small reptile, Pinkie fell back into the vase only to pop back out with a batch of freshly cook cupcakes. "Oh before I forget here's your order of cupcakes. hope you like it!" And with that she went back inside the flower vase. "Umm?" "Let's just forget that just happened." With a nodded Juniper and I enjoyed our order of sweets for the rest of the day we enjoyed ourselves walking around ponyville and playing around the lake. As the day came to an end Juniper and I decided that it was time to go home. Saying our goodbyes I made my way back to the library; seeing that the lights were all on I made a quick run towards the library a big smile on my face. "Oh maybe Twilights home I can't wait to tell about my day!" Opening the door I saw Twilight sitting on the couch I walked up to her and seeing her face my smile faded away. Looking up at her eyes were all puffed up and red. "Twilight what's wrong?" Noticing my presence Twilight looked back down at me forcing herself to smile. "Oh Chirp I didn't hear you coming inside." "what's wrong?" I sat next to her scooting a bit closer to her. She let out a weak laugh. "Oh it's nothing really just...just my allergies acting up." I gave her a confused look. "How was your day off?" She asked trying to change the subject. "Most of the day was Juniper and I went to sugarcube corners and the we walked around ponyville and then we played around the lake it was really fun." After I finished telling her about my day a thought occurred to me. "Twilight?" "Hmm?" "How did you come home so fast didn't you leave for Canterlot this morning?" As a reoccurring memory came back to her in her head she covered her mouth with her hoof and started to quietly cry. This got me really worried. "Twilight why are you crying?" Wrapping her hooves around me, she pulled me close and tight. "I'm sorry it's this dumb allergy." I hugged her back. Pulling back from the hug Twilight stared down at me and she kept her gaze for awhile. "Hey Chirp why not we on vacation these next few days hmm how's that sound?" A little confused I thought about what she said and smiles. "Yeah that sounds awesome where will we go?" "Oh that's a surprise." "Will Spike come too?" Twilight nodded her head. "Yeah Spike too all three of us will go on vacation." I let out a happy chirp and laugh I gave her a hug and nuzzled my face in her coat. The room was suddenly filled with a delicious aroma. A familiar purple drake walked out of the kitchen wearing his heart apron. "Awesome Chirp right on time for dinner!" I jumped off the couch and ran up to Spike. "Yeah!" Giving me a smile he moved to the side to show the meal before us. "I made your favorite double hay bacon burgers with extra cheese." I let out a happy chirp and ran inside the kitchen. Too busy with the food in front of me I didn't notice Spike and Twilight quietly talking to each other. "Did you tell her yet?" Spike asked. Twilight nodded her head. "No not just yet I'll tell when the time come for now I just....I just want to spend as much time with her as I can." Spike let out a small sigh and slumped his shoulders. "Why now though?" "I don't know Spike." Twilight looked the changeling filly in the kitchen stuffing her face. "But you know I kind of knew this was coming as soon as Chirp got to the age." Twilight thought back to the conversation she had with the princess. Couple of hours earlier. Twilight found herself teleported into the castle and she stood before both princesses. "Princess Celestia, princess Luna what can I do for you since you teleported me here I'm sure it's very important." The co-rulers looked at each other with a sad look. "Twilight my most faithful student as you know Chirp is becoming of age." Twilight nodded her head. "And you know how she is the rightful ruler to lead her people." "Wait I thought she was the last of the her kind?" "Yes I thought so as well, but for the past few year we have discovered a few signs of changeling activity near our borders." Twilight grew a small smile on her face. "That great news if there are any remaining changeling then maybe becomes old enough to become their queen then maybe we settle all the problems with them." The princess nodded their head, but soon frowned. "That is all what we are hoping for, but Twilight that is not the reason why we have called you here." Tilting her head she gave them a confused look."We called you here to tell that Chirp will no longer be staying with you in Ponyville." This left Twilight speechless. "Wait, but why?" "If Chirp is to lead her people she will need to be taught how to be a leader and a ruler." Thinking of something to say Twilight was speechless. "We know this might be hard on you so we'll give you some time to spend with Chirp, until the end of this week and then she will be brought here to Canterlot where she will be taught to rule and govern." "I...but...what if she needs me to care for her or what if she get home sick or." Twilight tried to think of more reasons to say even if they were small reasons. "You can visit her anytime you want and send letters to her." Looking down at her sad student, Celestia flew down next to her and gave a warm tight hug. "I know this will hurt you, but this is forthe best of Chirp." Looking up at her teacher Twilight let out a few tears. "Yes I know...thank you I'll tell her the news." Nodding her head Celestia casted a teleporting spell. A large green portal appeared before them. Looking up at her mentor one last time she walked into the portal and with a bright flash she appeared in front of the Ponyville library.
