//------------------------------// // Friends Together Part 2 // Story: The Search for True Harmony // by Dragonfire2lm //------------------------------// Pinkie woke up and found herself near the border of Ponyville, and upon seing the destroyed and scarred land before her mane and tail went from bright and poofy to flat and much darker in colour. "What happened?" She asked, only to be met with silence. "We failed" a voice behind her answered. The pink mare turned around to see an older pony with the same light pink coat and baby blue eyes looking back at her, the mare wore a shambled, haphazard attempt of a dark brown vest, while a piece of dark red cloth acted as a makeshift dress covering her flank. Her mane and tail mirrored Pinkie's in its strightness, but were different colours; her mane was black, her tail white. Pinkie spent several seconds staring to the all too familiar blue eyes of the other mare, the had no sparkle or happy shine as her own, but a dark hidden sadness barely noticable under the mask of indifference on the pony's face. "You're me" Pinkie stated, sitting down as the shock set in. "Yeah..." At this realisation Pinkie's eyes grew wide with fear and her ears splayed backwards. "Y-You're not Her are you?" the small frightened mare trembled fearfully as she whispered her question. "What? No! I'd never-We'd never...Pinkie she doesn't exist here" the older mare exclaimed, embracing the younger pony as she started hyperventilating. After the party pony had calmed down the older mare started walking towards town, her younger self trotting after her "So um...what do I call you? I can't call you Pinkie because that would be way to confusing" Pinkie asked. "Call me Diane, oh and here you'll need a heads up so you don't get to bummed out by our friend's appearance" the black maned mare replied as she waved a hoof, causing a script to poof into exsistence. It was titled The Search For True Harmony. They stopped for a few minutes to allow pinkie to read what had happened so far. "Everypony..is..." Pinkie's mane started to lose what little colour it had regainded from earlier. "It's ok, you'll know the full story when we reach the town square" Diane replied, dispelling the script. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Woah Pinkie your older self looks...weird" Rainbow commented. Diane rolled her eyes. "ok everypony, as you all know this is Equestria ten years in the future, you were summoned to learn about us, your future selves, as well as the fate of ponies we all know and care about in the hopes you learn the secret of true harmony as instructed by the Equestrian God of magic, lord Arcane" The Proffessor explained. "Uh Prof, they won't know about Arcane for another five years" Rainbot interjected. "Oh...my bad.." "We should start by telling them about us, out loved ones and the three trails that dommed Equestria" Diane stated seriously. Chapter's are short, but if you want more then please comment..please
