//------------------------------// // Different World Same Silliness // Story: A Good Share of Worlds // by Sea Pony //------------------------------// Not only did they forced me in the dining room. The Princesses had seen fit to invited the other elements bearers and my wife in Canterlot. ''Hello my little bird.'' Golden Pie said as she nuzzled me. As if that wasn't embarassing enough I could hear Cadence squeal in delight in the corner. But what was more heartbreaking for me than my embarassment was when Fluttershy had seen me. She only hide under her mane and barely talked to me. I know this Fluttershy is not my mother but it still hurt. Luna had still that smirk she had since she dragged me here. Finally she talked. ''So you have a interesting family a ghost and a wife.'' I frown at that. ''Do you have problem with that?'' ''Of course not. Even before my banishement Homosexuality was accepted. But at the time they couldn't marry. Ponies don't tend to judge but if there one thing they hate, especially earth ponies, is changing traditions and the traditions was a mare and a stallion. At that time being with a mare was seen as something you do when they were no more stallions to court the ratio of male females was even worse back then. Did your Equestria had issue with that?'' I shooked my head. ''The Elder Gods quickly disaproved of bigotry for these sort of things. They also explained very early how sexuality work before science was advance enough to look into it. When a God disaprove of your bigotry and tell you how it work you should reconsider where you stand. But I would be lying if we didn't have issues. While we didn't have issues with sexuality we had issue with interspecies relationship. When the Crystal Empire reappeared they still had the mindset that you should only love a pony. Cadence had a lot of work to do to make them more acceptant.'' ''So I'm curious about the rest of your family.'' Luna said with a eager smile. I rubbed my mane. ''Well like I said my father used to be human. My sister is a elementalist like me.'' Luna rosed a eyebrow. While the rest of the ponies who heard the conversation turned to me. Twilight was the first to ask. ''What a elementalist?'' I facehoof I totally forgot to tell them about that. ''It would be simpler if I showed you.'' The ponies looked in confusion except Golden Pie and Spooky Prank who looked excited. I closed my eyes in concentration. Without warning I casted a downpour of water on the floor. When it created a small puddle I took the water and moved it around with my magic. The ponies looked in shock as the water circled around me. Finally returned the water on the ground and made it take the form of a pony once the water had the shap I wanted I casted another spell and frozed the water. Now in the center of the dining room was a perfect ice sculpture of Princess Celestia. I turned to the shocked crowd and bowed. ''I'm a water elementalist I control everything related to water. Ice, mist, snow you name it I can do it. My sister is a fire elementalist like the name imply she control fire.'' When I turned back to the sculpture I noticed that the Celestia of ice had a moustache. ''Bravo! bravo! What a impressive display of magic!'' I groaned arleady recognising the voice. ''Discord.'' I said flatly. ''Don't be such a sourpuss. Guardian Goddess.'' I looked at him in shock. ''How do you know my title?!'' The draconequus rolled his eyes. ''Please I'm the master of Chaos do you really think I wouldn't know about your precious multiverse?'' ''It's reassuring to know that no matter the universe you're in you're just as annoying.'' I said not amused. Discord huffed. ''Fine I will leave you to your little girls night.'' With a snap of his finger he disappeared. I sighed in relief. I knew Discord wasn't a bad guy anymore but he just had a gift to irritate me. Maybe because he reminded me of Time Skip when he was still evil. Luna had that annoying smirk again. ''So you told us about your father and your sister. What about your mother who is she.'' I turned to look at the bearers Fluttershy was still hiding from me but she was talking to Applejack. ''My mom is Fluttershy.'' I replied not looking at Luna directly but I still could feel she was shocked at the response. Rainbow Dash was the first to speak. ''Wait a minute! In your world not only Fluttershy has a coltfriend but she had two foals with him?!'' ''Eep!'' Fluttershy said and hide herself behind Twilight. ''Technically she only had one foal with my father. I'm adopted.'' I turned to Luna with a smirked. ''You think the fact that my foal is a ghost and that I have a wife is weird? I am the reincarnation of my father. Somehow the reincarnation process has been halted and now there two incarnation of the same soul alive at the same time. My father and me. I don't have bioligical parents but spiritually I'm more closer to my father than any other foals.'' Twilight groaned. ''I'm not sure I want to join the multiverse anymore it's too weird.'' ''Am I a good mother?'' Fluttershy asked quietly. I smiled at her. ''The best in all Equis.'' ''Dawwww'' The rest of the mares said and I blushed. I turned to Celestia. ''Speaking of mother does Epona exist in this world?'' Celestia shook her head. ''I'm afraid I don't know her who is she?'' I smirked. ''In my world she is your daughter. His father is a time traveller called The Doctor a stallion that saved the universe from aliens treat hundred of times. You would think that with two amazing parents like that Epona would turn out to be amazing. Unfortunately the only legendary thing she has is how legendary long her naps are. She's the laziest mare you will ever meet...'' All day long the dining room was filled of nostalgic stories and laughter. We had passed all the day there and when night came Celestia invited us to sleep in her guest rooms. - - - - - One week and half had passed since we came in this world. Today was finally the day. Celestia would talk to everypony about the multiverse and the vote would begin. I missed home a little but as long as I was with Golden Pie and Spooky Pranks I was okay. Thousands of ponies from all four corner of Equestria had come in front of the castle for the announcement. Some were ambassadors like me that would report of the events here back in their country, some were journalists waiting eagerly to print the next news story and others were just curious ponies wanting to see what the fuss was about. Finally Princess Celestia step out on the balcony. The sound of trumpets was heard from both side of her. Celestia stopped walking when she arrived at the edge of the balcony. She looked down at the crowd with a serene smile and clear her throat. ''Welcome my little ponies. We are gathered here today because of a tremendous occasion. This might be the biggest thing that happened to Equestria since the coronation of Twilight Sparkle.'' The ponies in the crowd muttered in each others and more than a few flashes of cameras appeared aimed toward Celestia. On my end I was a little surprised at the claim. Equestria was attacked by world-ending monsters almost every years. Is Twilight coronation really the biggest thing that happened in this Equestria since the last sixty years? Or did this Celestia hide all these threats to her subjects to not cause panic? Regardless Celestia continued with her speech. ''A few days ago me and the other Princesses have made contact with the representative of a new nation.'' Confused mutters were heard in the crowd. ''I know what you must be thinking.'' The Princess said in response to the confusion. ''Since we know every major nations of Equis this 'representative' must be nothing more than a inhabitants of a obscure tribe or something equally small. I assure you this is not the case. This pony came from Equestria. Only not our Equestria but the one from a parallel world to our.'' The crowd went from muttering to shouting. ''Parallel world? Did she mean like a alien or something?!'' A excited colt asked with enthusiasm. ''Has our Princess finally gone senile with her old age? Another Equestria as if that was possible.'' Said a noble mare. ''I knew that she was hiding hidden world from us! If another Equestria then humans must exist too!'' A mare that I assumed was Lyra said. Only I never saw Lyra look that crazy even when she talked about her sea ponies. All the while the click of the cameras went off like crazy. ''Everypony calm down!'' Celestia said with the Canterlot. If the loud voice wasn't enough to calm the crowd down her authoritarian stare did the job. ''Now... I know that the fact that ther is other worlds out there might be hard to believe. But this is not the first time we came in contact with another world. There is another world also similars to ours that we've been in contact. We decided to hide it's existence because this world had no magic and thus very vulnerable to our world.'' ''This situation is different however. Not only because this other Equestria has also magic but because this Equestria is connected to thousands of other universes. The worlds are ruled by hundred of emperors each representing their own species. And they have taken a interest in annexing worlds like our in their empire.'' Yike she could have word that better. Now we sound like some sort of invaders. As I predicted the crowd began to shout worriedly at the new. I decided right then that maybe Celestia still didn't understand enough of this to make her speech and maybe seeing the scary 'monster' of the other world would calm them down. Without warning I open my wings and flew in direction of the balcony. Celestia saw me coming she looked worried that I decided to present myself but she took a step back to let me talk regardless. The crowd turned silent when they saw me flying. The guards had tensed trying to judge if I was a threat to the Princess. When Celestia shook her head at them they relaxed. I cleared my throat and addressed the ponies bellow. ''Hello everypony! My name is Winter Song and I am the 'Spooky alien from another world'.'' I said with a mock scary voice. Only a few ponies chuckled but most of the crowd had relaxed slightly after that. ''Now I don't really know how this must all sound to you. I lived with thousands of other worlds all my life. Now the way Princess Celestia presented it might sound like we will take your world by force. But this is very far from the truth. If you join us you will have just as much rights as any of us and you will be free to continue your life as you always been the difference is that you will have contact with a lot of other nations.'' I took a breath. ''Imagine a world with talking cat, cities of gold built in the sky that even the earth ponies and unicorns could live in, travelling in possibles future of Equestria and even travelling in space at the speed of light and visit undiscovered planets in another galaxy. All of this is possible in this crazy place we call the multiverse.'' The ponies looked amazed at the possibilities but I had to rain on their parade. ''Now I won't lie to you and say this is all sunshine and rainbows. Since you will be in contact with many worlds. You could meet very powerful enemies. You could discover horific new forms of magic and technology and since you will join a empire it's possible that some laws will pass that you will not agree with.'' I let them diggest that. ''But ultimately this is not my choice to make and this is not even your Princess choice to make. This is a choice that will only be decided by the most important pony... you.'' The crowd looked confuse at that. I stepped down and Celestia talked again. ''The Mortal Empire has decide to host a vote that every sapient races of Equis will participate in. Whether or not we will make contact with all these worlds will be decides by all our votes. Take time to decide carefully your choice the vote will be open for the next three months. And with that I must depart.'' The cameras flashed in a frenzy as Celestia returned in the castle. On my part I returned at the side of Golden ^Pie and Spooky Prank. - - - - - Later that day we had joined Princess Celestia in her castle. ''Winter Song.'' The Alicorn started to say. ''Yes?'' ''It was rather foolish to cut me in my speech. But thank you I think it worked for the best. If they hadn't seen you in person they would have probably panicked a lot more. But I noticed you didn't talk about the gods or the immortality. From what I understood it seemed like a important part of your world.'' I nodded. ''In my world gods has a different meaning than yours. For us they are just a powerful royal family. For you they are omnipotent beings capable of ending all life with a snap of their fingers. I didn't want them to panic more than they really need.'' ''And the immortality?'' The Princess asked. I sighed. ''I feel like if I tell them that no only they can live forever but can also be reunited with their departed loved ones in the next few months it would affect their votes too much. I don't want them to join us just for the immortality. Even if they don't join us in the next few months they will come in the Kira branch once it's their turn to go.'' ''I feel like we should tell them. Sure most of them would like to live forever with the ones they love. But what about the ones that just want to live a normal life become old and move on to the next life?'' I rose a eyebrow. ''You make it sound like the life we live is not normal.'' She looked surprise at the accusation but relaxed when I snickered. ''I guess you're right it's just I don't know a lot of ponies that want to go old. I mean there is Star Swirl The Bearded that decided to go old because and I quote: 'The white beard go with my costume.' It was Celestia turn to snicker at that. ''What about the other founders what became of them in your world?'' She asked curiously. I shrugged. ''I don't know for most of them I just assumed they moved on once you, I mean the other you, took control of Equestria.'' Celestia looked disappointed at that. ''But I do know about what happened to one of them.'' Her ears perked up. ''After she finished her training with Star Swirl Clover The Clever became the aprentice of Harmony. Since she knew everything about Unicorn magic she decided to turn to elemental magic, the magic I used a few days ago to make that sculpture. I don't know how it happened but someday she misused her magic and became a tree called the Tree of Harmony.'' ''WHAT?!'' It was a rare sight to see Celestia shocked like that. ''Judging by your reaction this tree exist in this world too.'' I replied. ''The Clover of this world couldn't have turn into the could she?'' Celesti asked. I rose an eyebrow. ''You mean you don't know what happened to her?'' ''No, when we received a distress letter from the Crystal Empire we rushed there to defeat Sombra. When we were gone Grogar The Necromancer attacked Everfree City. When we came back Star Swirl had defeated him but all the founders had been engulfed in his dark magic... we assumed they were dead. Now I'm not so sure.'' Without a word Celestia walked away. I sighed, not more than two weeks here and I'm arleady involved in a more than a thousand years old mystery. It was going so well too.
