//------------------------------// // CH 12-A lost sister // Story: Maybe I'm Dreaming // by Night Flight //------------------------------// “He’s name is Soarin…” said Cloudy. No. Nonononono! This couldn’t happen! I was definitely dreaming. There was no way that I found Soarin’s sister. But…I heard her. She said Soarin. I was sure. Maybe I heard wrong. “You said… Soarin?” She nodded. “Yeah. If you don’t believe me it’s OK but I said the truth.” My jaw was officially on the ground at that moment. It. was. AWESOME! I had just found Soarin’s sister. He would be super happy if he knew it. Last time we were talking about his sister, he told me that he really really missed her. “Whoa, whoa, whoa! I just find out what to do!” I was thinking but it seemed that I said it out loud. “And what do you want to do?” asked Cloudy. What should I do? Explaining it to her? No. Well, maybe a little. I was about to open my mouth to explain when phone rang. There wasn’t much ponies that would call here. It certainly wasn’t one of my friends cause they always talked to me by my own cellphone. It could be my parents or maybe my brother who didn’t call this often. It could be Soarin too… Soarin! His sister! I really hoped it would be him. I grabbed the phone. “Hello?” “Hey Rainbow! It’s me, Soarin!” I grinned. It was him! “Hey! Shouldn’t you go to work today?” “Yeah, and I did. Today’s practicing wasn’t as heavy as the day you went to academy.” “So you’re done now?” “Yeah, I am.” “So…can you come to my house? I want to show you a super big surprise!” “Then I’ll be there before you can hide your surprise!” I giggled. “We’ll see. Bye!” “Bye!” I turned phone off quickly and turned toward Cloudy who was looking at me with a raised eyebrow. “Trust me. It’s somepony that you really love,” I said. She hesitated but finally answered, “OK.” “We don’t have time! I’ll go check on Gummy and you go and check on your husband!” “Fine, but why we don’t have time?” “Like I said trust me!” I rushed to the room Gummy was resting. Her serum was empty and she was awake, looking at her surroundings curiously. “Hi!” Gummy looked at me. “Hi!” she said happily. “It’s time to throw that serum away.” She tilted her head to the side. “What’s serum?” I giggled. “Nothing.” Like I said, I went to where serum and throw it in the trash can. Then I looked back to Gummy. “So you really think I should marry your uncle?” She blinked few times then grinned. “Yeah!” she cheered happily. “Have you ever see him?” I already knew the answer but it didn’t hurt asking her too. “Yeah. I saw his pictures and saw him flying with Wonderbolts!” well at least she meant Soarin not his brother! “Hmmm… a Wonderbolt? I should see him!” “He’s great! My mommy always say that I’m exactly like him!” I smiled at her. I bet Soarin didn’t know his sister had such a sweet child. “Can I stand up now?” “Yes but you can’t go out of here.” “Awwww… why?” “Because some guests are gonna come here. Do you want me to tell your mother to come here?” Gummy who was now out of bed jumped up and down happily. “Yes! Yes! Yes!” I smiled at her and walked out of room. At the same time, Cloudy and her husband came out of the guest room. “First, Gummy is in this room.” I pointed to the room I’d just exited. “And second. You have to stay there till my guests come. I have a super big surprise for all of you!” Cloudy and her husband looked at each other and nodded. Then they entered the room. Before I walk to phone again, I heard Gummy’s happy giggles again. I grabbed the phone and called Soarin’s mother. I had a huge work to do! * * * * * For the hundredth time in the past hour, door knocked by somepony. And for the hundredth time I went to open it. “Hey!” said Soarin. I narrowed my eyes and crossed my arms. “Weren’t you suppose to come here before I get to hide my surprise? Others came much earlier than you!” He raised an eyebrow. “Others?” and popped his head in to see his family, mine and Cloudy’s husband’s family. “Did you make a party? Was that your surprise?” “We’re waiting for surprise too Soarin!” said Soarin’s mother from inside. I chuckled. “Just come in.” He came in and went to sit with rest of the ponies I gathered around. It wasn’t so easy. Mostly telling my mother about my surprise and making sure of not telling anypony. The other hard thing was don’t making Soarin’s mother about bringing they’re old enemy and new friend. But finally all of those were done and poor Cloudy was dying of curiosity but was holding Cloudy to don’t run at middle of living room. Among whole ponies who were present in that house, only my mother and I knew what they were gathering. I finally reached to the room Cloudy, her husband and Gummy were waiting for me. I opened the door and popped my head in. “OK guys sorry for long wait but you can finally come out. Just there’s a warning. You might be frozen when you see my surprise.” “Just let us go out there! I just can’t wait to see your surprise!” said Cloudy excitedly. I chuckled and led them out of the room. If it was up to me, I would just jump up and down from excitement! Most of that excitement was because I was finally doing something instead of Soarin’s surprises and all he did to me. For a full week, he did surprises to me. Now it was my turn to give him something that could be considered instead of some of his efforts. When I came out of my thoughts, we were close to living room. I told them to stop and I went in the room alone. Then announced, “OK, everypony, I want to show you the biggest surprise I can make! Just warning that you all might be frozen after you saw me surprise!” Then I smirked. “Now tell me, had any of you lost anything?” Then I went back to where Cloudy was looking at me with excitement and question. I nodded to them and told them to go in. When they stepped in the living room, all of the conversation cut and room went quiet. I walked next to Gummy. “SURPRISE! To both sides!” I said with a big grin.
