Chapter 5 Ep 4: Father in the Bridlewood
Chapter 5 Ep 4: Father of the Bridlewood
In Bridlewood at the Crystal Tea Room, the Mane 7 and Discord came out while Zipp and Pipp were talking to their mother, after some intense lecture of course, while Misty and Alphabittle were catching up for lost times as the others were watching the two.
“Oh, I can’t believe it…” Alphabittle said, still bursting in joy. “My daughter, Misty, has returned! Hoo!” He happily exclaimed. “Well, back then, I used to call you Misty-Wisty, be we can retire that nickname if you like.” He suggested.
“Oh! Um…” Misty said in surprise since she didn’t remember that. “I’d like that very much. For now at least.” She said with a small smile.
“Okay, Misty-Wisty! I mean… Misty.” Alphabittle corrected himself with a smile. “Ah, there’s so much to catch up on…” He stopped himself as he remembered something. “Oh uh… I gotta go get something.” He said as he walked back into the Tea Room.
Queen Haven gave a laugh from this. “How wonderful is this!” She said to her daughters in joy. “Oh, I wish I didn’t have to fly off so soon to attend to some royal duties!” She said as she flew between Misty and Alphabittle, who is carrying a box of things it in while Haven smiled at them.
“I’m so happy for you both! Nothing beats having a daughter.” Haven said with a smile. “Except maybe having two.” She joked as she and Alphabittle laughed as Haven brought the two Unicorns in a hug as she walked up to Zoom and Thunder, who were waiting for her. “Well, I must be off! Ta-ta!” She said as the three pegasi flew off.
“Gotta love these family moments.” Sunset chuckled, loving these family moments.
Alphabittle then brought out a red nose from the box and put it on. “Remember when we went to the circus and you thought this was the funniest thing ever?” He asked.
“Huh?” Misty asked in confusion as he chuckled nervously, since she couldn’t remember that memory.
Alphabittle took off his clown nose as he look at the box again. “Oh, and you loved this painting from the Unicorn Art Museum!” He said as she brought out a picture of a familiar unicorn wearing a guard helmet, which Sunset and Discord knows all too well.
“Hey, that’s Twilight’s big brother, Shining Armor!” Discord called out in surprise.
“Oh, is that what his name was?” Alphabittle asked in surprise.
“Yeah.” Sunset said in surprise as well. “He was Captain of the Canterlot Royal Guards before he was married to Princess Cadance and ruled along side her in the Crystal Empire. He helped his sister and her friends before in the past.” She said, having heard from Twilight and learned more about her brother, which she called him B.B.B.F.F. in the past while he returned the gestured, including some funny moments her brother did.
“Wow! That’s amazing!” Sunny said with a big smile.
“Same here.” Alphabittle said in agreement as he look at the picture of Shining Armor. “I must say, Misty, you had incredibly advanced artistic taste for such a young filly!” He complimented as he gave his daughter a smile.
“Oh, um…” Misty said slowly while looking nervous. “Those memories are a little fuzzy for me, Alphabittle.” She honestly said.
Alphabittle gave an assuring smile as he palace Shining’s picture away. “Hey! No more Alphabitle here. From now on, call me ‘Dad’.” He said as he and Misty smiled at each other.
“Okay, Dad!” Izzy spoke up, which got the two and the rest of the others attention as they turned to her. “Oh, you meant just Misty. Got it!” She said cheerfully.
“Sorry, I don’t remember… um… Dad.” Misty said with a small smile.
Alphabittle gave Misty a smile. “We just need to jog your memory, kid.” He stated as he have an idea. “I know! Let’s have the most incredible father-daughter day.” He declared. “Then I guarantee it’ll all come flooding back. What do you say?” He asked with a smile.
“I would love that!” Misty answered happily. “Wow… first my Cutie Mark, and now this.” She noted as she then hopped around happily as the others watched in amusement. “I’m so over-the-luna-moon to be reunited!” She cheered happily as she gave Alphabittle a joyful smile as he returned the gestured.
The rest of the Mane 7 and Discord watched in joy. “Adorbs.” Zipp spoke first.
“So cute!” Pipp happily said.
“So heart wrenching.” Discord said with tearful eyes.
“Such a happy reunion.” Sunset said while wiping a tear as the others watched with joyful gasped while Hitch wide his tears of joy.
Izzy then came to them while moaning happily as Misty and Alphabittle touched hooves. “I am just feeling so many emotions!” She said as the others exclaimed happily and laughed at Izzy while agreeing with her.
Alphabittle then move the box while giving a thoughtful look. “Where to begin with re-connecting and re-membering?” He asked himself while trying to think of an idea. “You were always better at coming up with games and fun things to do…” He noted.
“I was?” Misty asked in surprise.
“Yeah!” Alphabittle confirmed with a smile. “That’s the whole reason I play games in the Crystal Tea Room! Because of you.” He revealed.
The others all exclaimed in surprise and happily. “So thoughtful. I can’t take it!” Sunny exclaimed heartily as she whole Sunset in support.
“That explains the games you kept playing time and time again while making bets, because you wanted to stay connected with Misty.” Sunset said with a big smile, now getting the reason why Alphabittle play games in the tea shop.
“I don’t remember that… or the last time I even played a game!” Misty stated, since she haven’t played a game in a long time while being raised by Opaline. “Unless you count ‘The Evil Plotting Game’ where you have to strategize and take over the whole world and all of ponykind?” She asked as she pace around. “Opaline does love that one.”
That caught the others attention when she said that, knowing it was Opaline while Alphabittle looked confused by that. “Um…” The group gave awkward looks at Misty.
“Hmm…” Zipp said in thought from that.
“Wait. That’s not a real game… is it?” Misty asked embarrassedly, having just realize that wasn’t a game from Opaline.
“No, it really wasn’t Misty.” Sunset said as she and Sunny walked up to her.
“We know you’ve been through a lot, Misty.” Sunny said softly.
“There are somethings that you haven’t tried before or haven’t tried in years.” Sunset added.
“And there’s still so much to unpack.” Sunny added with a smile.
Alphabittle gave a chuckle. “Seriously! I got another twenty of these Misty memory boxes.” He stated while gesturing to the box he brought out.
“Twenty boxes? Wow, Misty sure has done a lot as a filly.” Sunset said in surprise while Misty gave a sheepish chuckle.
“I guess I do.” Misty said sheepishly.
“I mea, more mentally and emotionally, but yea, those too!” Sunny said, not what she had in mind but in agreement as well.
“Speaking of, mind giving me a hand, daughter?” Alphabittle asked Misty with a smile as he levitated the box.
“Oh. Anytime dad-abitle…” Misty said before she realizes what she said. “Heh, I mean, Alpha-dad!” She said mixed up again as she gave a sheepish smile. “Uh. Sorry, still getting used to it!” She apologize.
Zipp then turned Sunny and Sunset to her. “Did you two hear what Misty just said?” She asked suspiciously.
“Yes!” Sunny said with a smile. “Dad-abittle? Ha! To funny!” She said in amusement.
“Heheh, that is funny. And a good one.” Sunset said with a chuckle.
“No, no, not that.” Zipp said as she shook her head. “About Opaline taking over all of ponykind!” She pointed out about what Misty said of Opaline’s planning. “Maybe this game they played can give us clues to her plan?! Then we can get ahead of her! What are we really doing ot protect Equestria?” She questioned as she turned to the Tea Room. “I have to ask Misty right now.” She declared as she was about to walk to Misty.
Sunset however, stood in front of her. “Whoa, slow your wings, detective. No questioned Misty right now.” She said firmly.
“What? But we need to find out…” Zipp tried to defend before Sunny spoke.
“Zipp, you are a brilliant detective.” Sunny spoke. “But you should ‘detect’ that this isn't the time to interrogate Misty!” She pointed out.
“Sure it is!” Zipp said with a smile.
“No it’s not!” Sunset said firmly, which made Zipp flinch a bit. “Zipp, we get we need to know Opaline’s plan, but questioning Misty 24/7 is taking it a little too far and uncomfortable for her!” She pointed out with a look.
“What do you mean?” Zipp asked in confusion.
“We mean, your tactics with Misty lately have been a little ‘extreme’.” Sunny explained.
“A little, more like ‘overkill’.” Sunset corrected as Sunny nodded. “But seriously, Zipp, you’ve been at Misty’s neck for more questions about Opaline.” She said.
“Pssh, what are you two talking about?” Zipp asked in confusion as she not getting what they meant.
“How about we think back at the times when you kept questioning Misty after her secret of being with Opaline was revealed?” Sunset suggested with a brow as they think back of the times when Zipp kept questioning Misty about Opaline.
Flashback.
At Grandma Figgy’s place, Hitch’s grandmother is showing Misty a photo album of Hitch when he was a foal, which are surprisingly similar to his same cookie house on Wishday, but different with Sparky while Sparky sat next to Misty while eating a cookie.
Zipp then appeared as she push the book down. “So about Opaline…” She started.
“Ah!” Misty yelped in startled as she fell on her back.
In Hitch’s Station, Misty is stacking some cards into a pyramid with Hitch’s animal crew as she levitated two cards to the top.
But then Zipp appeared beside her. “About that Opaline…” She said again, but she startled Misty again.
“Ah!” Misty yelped and fell to the floor as the card pyramid collapse.
And then after getting a smoothie from Sunny and Sunset, Misty’s cup began to shake as it popped open to reveal a drone, which caused her to scream.
“Hey Misty!” Zipp spoke through the drone as Misty tried to run away from it until she saw in front of Zipp. “Tell me about Opaline right now!” She demanded before Sunset flew in.
“Zipp! Enough!” Sunset yelled as Zipp flinched from her outburst.
End of Flashback.
Zipp went wide eyes at what she been doing to Misty with the whole ‘interrogating’ her about Opaline since she didn’t realize she did that many times.
“I guess I have come on a bit strong.” Zipp admitted, seeing their point.
“A bit?” Sunset said with a brow.
“Okay, maybe too strong.” Zipp concede, now feeling bad for how she’s been questioning Misty.
“Right now, she just needs our support.” Sunny said with a smile.
“And also, she and Alphabittle just reunited, so now is not the time. Let them have their moment together.” Sunset added, since Misty just found out Alphabittle was her father and wanted to catch up for lost times.
“And when she’s ready, she’ll tell us everything we need to know.” Sunny assured as Zipp nodded in understanding. “Maybe we can do some more digging on our own?” She suggested while nudging Zipp with a smirk.
“Great ideam, pals!” Izzy cheered from behind a crystal as she jumped from behind it as they turned to her with a cheerful smile. “We Unicorns always say, ‘the past is the key to the present’.” She said dramatically before she spoke normally. “It’s very important to understand the history of somepony, for everypony’s choices echo in time… time… time…” She said as she repeated the world while spinning on her hindlegs as Sunny, Sunset and Zipp listened.
“I… guess that’s true.” Sunset said slowly with a shrug.
“Echo in time?” Zipp asked in confusion as Misty turned to them.
“Yes, time.” Izzy confirmed. “And I know just the pony you need to talk to.” She said with a smirk. “Follow me!” She cheered as she walked on the field. “Oh! Gather some grass and watch your hooves for stinky weeds along the way! It’s in season!” She warned cheerfully as she started picking up some grass and weeds. “Ooh ooh! And you! Oh! And you’re coming with me.” She spoke.
The three ponies looked at where Izzy went off to in amusement. “Well, when it comes to Izzy, she always surprises you, so let’s follow her.” She said as the two nodded and follow Izzy across the forest.
Somewhere in Bridlewood, Alphabittle and Misty walked through the forest with Pipp, Hitch, Sparky and Discord following way behind.
“How wonderful to take a stroll with you down memory lane today!” Alphabittle said to his daughter happily. “You used to love this play.” He noted.
“I did?” Misty asked in surprise. “What’s it called?” She asked her father in interest.
“Memory lane!” Alphabittle answered with a smile before he saw something. “Oh! And look there.” He gestured to a tree with a heart carved in it with a picture of Misty and Alphabittle together. “We carved this together! With the tree’s permission, of course. I’ve passed it every day since you’ve gone missing.” He said fondly while looking at the carving as Misty smiled at it. “Oh, I can’t wait to start full-time dad-ing again!” He cheered as he and Misty continued on with Discord, Hitch and Pipp trailing behind.
“I have never seen this grumpy guy act so happy.” Hitch commented to the two. “Not even with Queen Haven!” He added as Sparky babbled in agreement.
“Iv’ve never sene Misty this happy either!” Pipp said as she held her phone while recording Misty and Alphabittle.
“Those two have been apart, so it’s made them really happy to be together again.” Discord said, really love touching moments, wishing he could do the same with Fluttershy if she was still around.
“Maybe we should let them reconnect in peace?” Hitch suggested with a smile.
“Good idea. Let’s leave the father and daughter time alone.” Discord said in agreement.
“I can’t understand why we should…” Pipp argued as she kept recording before Hitch cleared his throat as he and Discord gave Pipp a look.
“Pipp…” Discord started with a brow and his arms crossed.
“What? She’l want this later! It’s adorable!” Pipp said in defense as she saw the looks the boys are still giving her as she realizes what they mean. “And I guess a little invasive. Fine!” She said as she turned off her phone as the two boys smiled in approval.
“We’re gonna head out so you can have some quality family time together!” Hitch spoke out to the two unicorns.
“So you ponies could catch up with lost times.” Discord added as he, Hitch and Sparky walked off.
“And privacy!” Pipp added as she realizes what she said. “But don’t ask why I brought that up. We’re just a call away if you need us!” She finished as she trotted off after the boys.
“Did you hear that? Family time. Just the two of us.” Alphabittle said happily as he place a hoof on Misty’s cheeks as said unicorn mare smiled. “Like it used to be!” He exclaimed as he started hopping forward happily like a foal.
Misty laughed at her father happily as she hopped as well as she followed him.
A little bit later, Alphabittle lead Misty to his tree home, or their home since it was Misty’s house as well.
“Welcome back to your home, kid!” Alphabittle as he opened the door as they entered as Misty looked around at her real home. “II want to make everything as comfortable as possible for you.” He said.
Misty entered the house as she gasped in wonder as she looked around, noticing three doors and a couple of trophies on the walls with some books shelved she looked on with a smile as she gasped at her real home.
“Oh, wait!” Alphabittle spoke out. “Wait till you see the best part!” He said as he lead Mist to a door as they enter a room. “Ta-da!”
Misty looked around with a smile as she notice a bed with stuff animals, w window and some other things like toys. “Wow… is this…” She said in stunt.
“Your old fillyhood room!” Alphabittle announced as Misty gasped with a smile at seeing her old room. “Left exactly as the day you went missing…” He said while giving a down look at the thought of his daughter missing again as Misty looked around her old room while looking at her old stuff. “...but with more dust bunnicorns now I guess.” He added, since he haven’t been in Misty’s room since she disappeared.
Misty came up to her bed as she saw her stuff animals longingly as she pick up a bunnicorn plushie.
“I’ll just call up Dusty, the cleanup pony, and hire her to help out.” Alphabittle stated as he walked out of the room to let Misty enjoy it. “I promise, it will be in mint condition soon. Do you still like mint?” He asked before he shrug it off and came back to Misty. “Anyway, now that you’re settled, let’s get to the fun stuff!” He announced as he walked into the room. “I’ve been waiting for this moment my whole life! Who-hooo!” He said happily as he walked out the room again.
Misty watched her father go with a nervous chuckle and a smile before she look at her plushie. “He has no idea who I am now!” She said to the plushie, since she knows that Alphabittle is her real father, he doesn’t know the new her since she was away when she was a filly. .But I have to go along with it. I want this to be the best day for him.” She said as she squeeze the plushie.
Misty giving a determined smile. “Okay, Misty, you’ve mastered the fake smile, so use it. And go!” She said to herself as she put the plushie down and waved her hoof in front of her as she gave a force smile with her teeth showing. “Heh.. Ow, ow… It hurts.” She muttered as she walked out of her room while smiling widely.
A little bit later, the two are now walking across Bridlewood as ponies are enjoying their day.
“This here is my daughter, Mist! Remember her?” Alphabittle as the ponies around them. “Say hello to my little filly!” They then walked up to a random unicorn stallion. “Hey! This is my long-lost child! Giver her a hoof!” He said.
The stallion lifted his hoof to Misty as she did the same while feeling embarrass as they tapped hoof as the stallion move on.
“Alphabit… I mean, Dad.” Misty said while feeling embarrassed. “Could we maybe, uh, tone it down? I’m not sure I love all this attention on me.” She stated.
“Oh! Uh, of course!” Alphabittle said in understanding. “I’m so sorry. You used to love when I pranced around and did this.” He explained with a smile. “I’ll dial back on the shouthing. But not on the pride!” He stated as Misty gave a small smile. “Oh! I’ve got something really exciting in store.” He said as he continued on with Misty following.
“What is it? Maybe a trip to the unicorn library?” Misty asked in wondered. “I’ve never been to one of those before. Or is it…” She trailed off when Alphabittle stopped as she gulped. “We’re… at a playground?” She asked in confusion since there are some foals playing in the playground.
“Exactly! We have so many fond memories together here.” Alphabittle said to his daughter with a smile. “You used to love the seesaw.” He pointed to a seesaw.
“Wee…” A foal said boredly as he and his friend played on the seesaw.
“And going down the slide.” Alphabittle continued as he gestured to the slide, which a filly slide down. “Wee… Oh..” She said in disappointment.
“And the spinning on the filly-go-round!” Alphabitle added while gesturing to a grown stallion on the merry-go-round, who is looking down. “How about you give it another ol’ spin, with the ol’ stallion? Please?” He asked while giving a puppy eye to Misty.
Misty felt off by it but gave a smile to Alphabittle. “Heh… Of course.” She said while giving herself a fake smile as she walked up to the merry-go-round. “Um… do you mind if I borrow this?” She asked the stallion.
“Aren’t you a little old to be using this?” The stallion asked.
“Heh. Yeah, but… wait…” Misty then realize something. “Aren’t we the same age?” She asked in confusion.
“Oh what about it?” The stallion asked again before Misty grabbed the merry-go-round as she stopped it, while making the stallion flinch from it.
“Listen, after being filly-napped and brainwashed for years, I am feeling so many feelings right now and I just really need this, okay?!” Misty explained frantically to the stallion.
The stallion just look at Misty boredly before he spoke. “Feelings…” He said as he started sniffling and look in a distance. “I understand those well.” He said while playing a hoof to his chest.
Misty just raised a brow at the unicorn stallion weirdly, not sure what he meant as the stallion continued.
“May the turnstile of emotions guide you from eternal darkness to light.” The stallion said to Misty while getting off the merry-go-round as he walked off.
“Sure, okay.” Misty said weirdly as she sat on the merry-go-round as Alphabittle walked up to her. “Ready!” She said with a smile.
Alphabittle smiled as she then pulled the merry-go-round really hard that it started spinning her really fast.
“Wee!” Misty screamed before she started retching as her cheeks turned green as she screamed again before her face turned completely green as she was getting dizzy. “Alright, that’s enough!” She called out.
Alphabittle stopped the merry-go-round as Misty got off while feeling dizzy as she move around while keeping balance while her eyes spinned. “Hmm. You used to have a stronger stomach.” He said, seeing that Misty stomach isn’t as strong as it used to as Misty tried to keep her lunch in. “Maybe that’s enough playgrounding for today?” He suggested.
“I’m fine! Hah. Totally fine.” Misty assured, lying a bit since she doesn’t want to ruin this as she still look green before she prevented her lunch from coming out as her color returned. “That was super fun. Yay!” She added.
“Why don’t we try something else?” Alphabittle asked with a small smile.
“Yes! I l’d love that.” Misty said with a smile, feeling relief that their skipping the playground.
“I’m between cave-exploration or extreme tree-climbing.” Alphabittle listed before he gave a smile at another thought. “Or, maybe we can ger back into fire-swallowing again.” He suggested.
Misty eyes shrunk a bit uneasily at the last part her father suggested as she blinked a bit and gave a nervous smile as she gave a panic look while trying to keep him from knowing.
A little bit later, Izzy lead Sunny, Sunset and Zipp to a tree home as they were at the front door as Izzy then knocked calmly with a smirk before she knocked hard.
“Uh… Izzy, where are we?” Zipp asked in confusion since they never been to this part of Bridlewood before.
“Shh! Shh!” Izzy shushed her as she then levitated the three grass woven baskets. “Also, hold these wild grass woven gift basket-baskets.” She said as she gave her friends the three baskets.
“What for?” Sunset asked in confusion before the door knocked from the inside before it opened to show and elderly unicorn mare who has a light purple coat long sliver mane and tail and maroon hooves. She has magenta eyes and her cutie mark is of three rubies, it was Elder Flower.
“Well, lookie who we have here, Dizzy!” Elder Flower said while moving her hooves around as her eyes rolled.
“Oh, it’s Izzy, Elder Flower.” Izzy corrected to her with a smile as she got between her three friends. “This is Sunny, Sunset, and Zipp! Sunny, Sunset and Zipp, meet Elder Flower!” She introduced to the elderly unicorn who is sleeping while standing as she snored. “The most elderly-est pony in town, so much so that it’s even in her name.” She said cheerfully as she hopped forward a bit.
“So that’s Elder Flower, huh?” Sunset asked with a small smile as Sunny and Zipp smiled as well. “Heh, reminds me of Granny Smith.” She added quietly.
Sunny then gave a slight bow. “We’re so honored to meet you Elder…” She tried to say before Izzy gasped and stopped her.
“That’s not the Bridlewood-Elder way!” Izzy spoke out as the three flinch as they look in confusion. “Pass her your baskets.” She said as they let go of their baskets as Izzy levitated them to Elder Flower.
Elder Flower was still sleeping while standing before she saw the baskets as she woke up before she smiled. “Wild grass woven gift basket-baskets?!” She asked happily as she accepted the baskets in her magic. “How very thoughtful. And respectful!” She said as she place the baskets inside with the others.
“You’re welcome, ma’am.” Sunset said with a smile before turning to Izzy. “Izzy, what are we doing here anyway?” She asked in wonder.
“Because Elder Flower is the storyteller in Bridlewood!” Izzy stated with a smile. “She has tales hat have been passed down through generations and generations of little ponies!” She cheered with a wave and a smile. “Like, all past is in her mind. Can you belizzle that?!” She asked cheerfully.
“This reminds me of the tale when the raccoon bit the snake.” Elder Flower suddenly said as she gave a bit crazed look.
“Oh! That is such a good one!” Izzy perked up as the others looked confuse by that as she whispered to them. “I know that some of her stories might not make sense right away, but I promise she’ll help you understand more about Equestria’s history.” She assured as her friends gave a smile.
“Well, it would be interesting to get to know her, so let’s give it a shot.” Sunset said with a small smile, going to give Izzy’s plan a shot and to get to know Elder Flower more.
“Great!” Izzy cheered as she turned to Elder Flower. “These pals of mine could really use your help! WOuld you be willing to spin some yarns?” She asked with a smirk.
“I will on one condition.” Elder Flower said as she gave an exciting expression. “I wanna visit the big city!” She exclaimed with her hoof raised
The others gave her small smiles from that. “Zephyr Heights?” Zipp guessed.
“That’s the one!” Elder Flower confirmed. “Can you take me?” She asked.
“We’d love to be your chaperones!” Sunny said with a smile.
“Oh, wee, yippy!” Elder Flower said excitedly. “Oh and then I gotta get packing. Do they still wear poodle skirts there? She asked as she enter her home to get ready.
The three look at each other with smiles. “Well, we just made and elder pony’s day.” Sunset said with a smile, not only will they get some information, but they get Elder Flower to have fun as the two girls nodded in agreement.
At the Crystal Tea Room, Misty and Alphabittle entered shop as Onyx is doing a poem while Dapple played the bongos.
“The injured cat says, meow-ow.” Onyx started. “Ow.”
“Me-ow-ow.” Dapple finished as the crowd clapped to them light applause as Misty and Alphabittle came up to the counter.
“No doubt this will bring back memories.” Alphabittle said with a smile as Misty sat down on the table as a armadillo passes by with a tea cup that she grabbed. “A specialty special-tea testing at my Crystal Tea Room!” He announced as he gave a thought. “Now, let’s see if I remember…” He said as he look at his stand.
Alphabittle then started tapping on some things in his stand, some bottles, turning the tea kettles, setting a clock time, grabbing two controllers and move the handles, and playing a tiny piano with a drumstick.
Then clicking sounds can be heard as at the bottom counter, a secret door appeared, leaving a compartment with a bowl that has a pink vase in it as Alphabittle sigh in relief.
“Phew. It still works.” Alphabittle said in relief as he opened the vase and put some tea leaves in Misty’s cup as he brought out a tea kettle and pour some hot water in it.
Misty gulped nervously as she looked at Alphabittle, who is smiling giggly at her as she gave a force smile and drink the tea, which made her go wide eyes at the taste, that it tasted bad as she shook her head and gave a force smile.
“Mmm, yummy.” Misty said.
“I knew it!” Alphabittle cheered as he look at his counter. “You still love ‘Misty’s Mys-tea-ry’. I named it after you and haven’t let anypony drink it since.” He explained as he didn’t see Misty coughing from the tea taste as she toss the tea away without him looking as Alphabittle turned back to her.
“But I can’t remember for the life of me what’s in it!” Alphabittle said as he look at Misty’s empty cup. “Gone already? Wow!” He said while Misty is still giving her fake smile. “Looks like you need another cup.”
Misty panicked as she pushed her tea cup away with a force smile. “I’m all tea’d out, Alpha… uh… Dad.” She quickly corrected as she leaned on her cheeks casually. “Any chance there’s something else, anything else, on that list of yours?” She asked, wanting to do something else other than that old tea.
Alphabittle gave a smile from that. “In fact, there is!” He said as he tapped his hoof to the ground as a light shine on Onyx and Dapple.
“Ow-owl, says the injured owl!” Onyx declared.
“Oh! Owl…” Dapple finished as the crowd clapped to them as Alphabittle and Misty walked next to the stage.
“Slam poetry! Your favorite!” Alphabittle said to his daughter. “Remember when you won the youth slam with your performance of ‘Reflections of Glowpaz Crystal’?” He asked her.
“No. I do not.” Misty said in confusion. “That actually sounds awful--” She was cut off when Alphabittle gave her a side hug, which startled her.
“Awfully cute?” Alphabittle guessed with a smile. “I know! It was! Here.” He said as he pushed Misty to the stay.
“Wait, I…” Misty tried to explain as she was push on stage right in front of Onyx and Dapple as more lights shine on her as look at the ponies watching in as got nervous. “Uh… Um… Uh…” She stammered as she stood up and was about to speak through the microphone, but stopped as she has nothing to say since she doesn’t know a poem. “Uh…” She said as the crowd looked at each other in confusion.
The Marestream flew at high speed to Zephyr Heights as it landed someone where in the city as the four ponies walked out and went into town.
“You sure did enjoy that Marestream ride, huh, Elder Flower?” Zipp asked with a smirk.
“Oh I did!” Elder Flower nodded with a smile. “It was just like the time I went hoof gliding!” She said.
“Yeah, anypony would enjoy the Marestream, except for Posey, of course.” Sunset said with a chuckle from when Posey hated snow but also afraid of flying when she panicked in the Marestream.
“So, now that we’re finally here, we have some questions for you about the--” Zipp tried to ask before Elder Flower gasped.
“Can it be?” Elder Flower asked with a smile as she look around the city of Zephyr Heights and walked ahead. “Shopping on Mane Avenue! What a wonder ot finally see such an iconic play. Look!” She said happily as she trotted ahead to a fashion shop as she gestured to the display with a coat with red flowers on it as the three ponies caught up to her.
“Did you know that style was in fashion when I was a filly?” Elder Flower as she gave a laugh as the three looked at her with a smile. “Incredible to see its return!”
“That how I would feel if I saw something familiar.” Sunset said with a small smile, wishing she was like that when she saw the ruins of Canterlot in better condition, feeling sad of her old home as Sunny patted her back in comfort, understanding Sunset as the two ponies smiled at each other.
“Right…” Zipp said with a smile. “So I was wondering about this ancient evil Alicorn Opaline” She said as Sunny and Sunset nodded in agreement.
“Hmm.” Elder Flower thought for a moment with her hoof to her chin before she gasped as the others perked up.
“What? You know something?!” Zipp asked urgently with a smile as Sunny sat while bringing out her book as the three ponies waited for a respond.
“I cannot believe that Pegasus.” Elder Flower said as the three were confuse before they turned and saw a pegasus hat. “They’re wearing a vintage ‘Carousel Boutique' hat.” She stated as she turn to the. “Do you know how hard those are to find? And look!” She cheered happily as she ran off. “This music shop…”
The three ponies turned to each other as they turned around and huddle in close. “Sunny, Sunset, this is going absolutely nowhere.” Zipp stated as Elder Flower look around the shop. “Trying to keep her focus is one thing, but these stories? They’re complete nonsense!” She pointed out as Elder Flower tried to catch a pegasus pig before she fell to the floor facefirst.
“Yeah, they’re a little…” Sunny said as she trailed off with a hummed and a chuckle.
“Well, can you blame her, she elderly. They do these kinds of things, but they are more wise then us.” Sunset pointed out, since she knows elderly like Applejack’s grandmother, Granny Smith.
“Yeah, that is true.” Sunny said before she smile. “But remember what Izzy said? Let’s see what she has to say. Which seems to be a lot.” She said sheepishly.
“Not to mention Elder Flower is like an Elder Izzy.” Sunset noted before she realize something. “Actually, that make a lot more sense.” She said in thought, now getting where Izzy got her personality from.
“I guess that’s true too.” Sunny said in agreement, seeing a connection there too.
Zipp then started thinking of an idea. “Hmm. If we get her to the old hanger, maybe she’ll be inspired to spill some of the Opaline-beans?” She suggested.
“That could actually work. That hanger was a remnant of Twilight’s regin before the fall from Opaline. Maybe there’s a hint.” Sunset said with a smile.
“Good idea!” Sunny said in agreement. “That could help jog her memory.” She said as the three ponies then notice that Elder Flower wasn’t with them. “Uh, speaking of jogging…” She trailed off as they saw Elder Flower jogging off. “Wait up!” She called out.
“Uh, slow down!” Zipp called next.
“Don’t leave us hanging!” Sunset finished as the three ponies chased after her. “Wow, that pony could move!” She commented as they were surprise how Elder Flower could move fast for a pony her age.
Back at the Crystal Tea Room, Misty is still frozen as she the crowd still watches as she was nervous.
“Hu-huh. Rad.” Dapple commented as Onyx turned to him. “Such a dedicated choice.”
“Uh…” Misty kept going nervously before she finally snapped. “I’m sorry! I can’t do this anymore!” She cried out.
“Huh?” The audience called in confusion as Misty ran out the door as the crowd started camping to her, thinking she did a poem as Aphabittle get on stage in confusion.
“That was… brilliant!” Dapple cheered.
“I am overwhelmed with emotions.” Onyx said naturally.
“What… what was it about?” Alphabittle asked Onyx, since she and Dapple can tell the words and expressions ponies make.
“It was a commentary on the loss of identity.” Onyx explain.
“Imbed with undertones of fear about a newfound fragile father-daughter relationship.” Dapple added as he clap his hooves together.
Alphabittle cleared his throat when he heard that. “You, uh… got all that?” He asked as Onyx and Dapple nodded as he turned to stage. “I see.” He said guilt, now getting how Misty was feeling the whole time as he walked off.
“She also could have been saying something about um-brellas.” Onyx commented.
“Yeah, that too.” Dapple said in agreement.
Back at Alphabittle’s home, Alphabittle entered his home as he hear Misty crying in her old room as as he entered and saw Misty on her bed crying her tears out as Alphabittle gave a solemn look.
“I thought you might be in here.” Alphabittle said as he entered the room as he sat on the edge of the bed. “What happened? You love performing.”
“No, I don’t!” Misty cried out as she turned ot him. “At least, not anymore. I hate the spotlight. I hated the playground!” She cried out as Alphabittle flinch back a bit. “I’m sorry, but… this whole day has been a struggle.” She said as she held her bunnicorn plushie.
“You didn’t like any of the things we did?” Alphabittle asked in surprise.
“No, I didn’t.” Misty honestly said as she turned away sadly. “The truth is… I don’t actually know what I like! Or even who I am…” She said as she look at her own hooves and then held her plushie again. “I haven’t really had the chance to figure it out yet.” She stated.
Alphabittle looked up in surprise. “Wow, Onyx and Dapple was right.” He said as he look at his daughter in sympathy. “I just want you to feel at home.”
“But I don’t feel at home.” Misty said as she gestured to her old room. “I barely know this place. I barely know myself!” She pointed out as she turned to her father. “And you barely know me. So much time has passed, so much has happened. Whatever filly you used to love isn’t here anymore.” She said sadly as she look at her plushie and put her face on it. “I’m sorry. I’m so sorry.” She muttered through the plushie.
Alphabittle looked at his daughter in guilt for not knowing how she felt. “I didn't realize… I was just trying to show I cared. But I understand. You want to be alone.” He said as he stood up from the bed as he walk out of the room as the door shut.
Misty looked at her plushie sadly as tears were dripping from her eyes before she quickly rushed to the door and opened it to her father. “No! I don’t want to be alone anymore. That’s all I’ve ever been and ever felt.” She said, which surprise Alphabittle as he turned ot his daughter in surprise. “And now I have you. I somehow have you. My dad!” She said with a smile as she rushed up to him.
Alphabittle caught Misty as the two shared a warming hug as Alphabittle held his daughter. “Oh… my Misty-Wisty!” He said joyfully as he held her close. “You’re right. I’ve been holding onto the past. Onto the pain of losing you, which made me hard-headed.” He said as they broke the hug as Misty listened deeply. “You just ask anypony in town how grumpy I’ve been all these moons…” He stated jokefully as the two nuzzled.
“Let’s start over. My name is Alphabittle, and I am your father.” Alphabittle said as Misty smiled tearfully and heartfelt as she wipe her tears. “Though I know nothing about you, someday when you’re ready, I want to hear all about your life and experience and who you are now.” He said with a smile.
“It’s a pleasure to re-meet.” Misty said with a smile. “I’m Misty. Tea for short.” She said playfully as she move in a circle.
“Tea?” Alphabittle asked playfully as he laugh. “I like that.” He said.
“I do too. I just made it up!” Misty said cheerfully.
“Hey, there’s still a little bit of the father-daughter day left.” Alphabittle said as he smiled at his daughter. “What would you like to do?” He asked.
Misty thought for a moment before she smiled at her father.
At Zephyr Heights, Sunny, Sunset and Zipp led Elder Flower to the station where they first found out about the Unity Crystals, which recently been restored to it’s former glory after the unity of ponykind and when Zipp showed her mother about it that she gladly restored it.
“The old station, it’s been a while since we’ve been here.” Sunset said with a fond smile.
“Where it all started from finding out about the crystals.” Sunny added with a smile as well.
“And now we have somepony else to remember.” Zipp said as they all turned behind them. “This way, Elder Flower! We want to show you something.” She said as Elder Flower came to them as they continued on.
Elder Flower was holding a couple of bags she bought while doing her shopping. “Show me something? Well then, let me put on these new glasses I went with the Classic design.” She said as she put the bags down and pout on some glasses with purple lenses. “Super hip! Speaking of hips, I gotta stretch.” She said as she spread her legs and start doing some stretches as some bones cracked.
“Wow, she’s is spry. And chatty.” Zipp commented, looking surprise that an elderly like Elder Flower can be so chatty and spry.
“No kidding. She is full of surprise.” Sunset said in agreement.
“Once, I attended a super fancy sparkly wedding, but all the ponies kept changing shapes and I almost threw my hip! Ha!” Elder Flower said as she kicked her back legs as the others watches with smiles.
Sunny then turned to her two friends. “If we’re hoping to learn something, this has to be the place for it.” She said to them as they smiled in agreement before Elder Flower came next to them.
“Now, let’s see…” Elder Flower said as she took off her glasses and gasped in awed at seeing the stain glass, which have been restored as well, except for the middle where the Earth Pony and Unity Crystals should go to with an open window.
“My-oh-my. This hanger is beautiful.” Elder Flower said in awed as she turned to the three ponies. “It reminds me of when all these lands were united.” She started.
“Finally…” Zipp said in relief, finally getting Elder Flower to tell a story related to Opaline. “Here we go!” She said in interest as Elder Flower walk to a chair.
“A long time ago, there was a magical bat named Dawn.” Elder Flower said as the others listened. “She was surrounded by other bats like her, but one of the bats refused to get along with the others.” She stated as she levitated her glasses and flying them around as the three ponies duck. “This bat wanted to fly around, and eat all the fruit herself. So Dawn spoke to a spider, who wove a beautiful web to keep the mean greedy bat away.” She said.
Zipp, Sunset, and Sunny looked on since her story was something similar to Opaline as they smiled to each other. “In the end, Dawn was able to protect their nest, yet the greedy bat continues to this day to try and break the web.” Elder Flower continued while making faces. “Which is why some bats eat fruit and some bats eat insects.” She added as the three ponies look at her in confusion. “That’s it!” She said.
The three were silent before Zipp broke it. “That… was a beautiful tale.” Zipp said slowly.
“Very interesting on bats.” Sunset said with a nervous smile.
“Yes.” Sunny said sheepishly. “Thank you for sharing your story with us.” She added politely.
Elder Flower nodded as she stood up and walked up to the stain glass as Zipp sighed in disappointment. “It really was beautiful. But it held no clue.” She pointed out, since there wasn’t a clue about Opaline.
“Hey, we tried!” Sunny assured with a smile.
“Not everything can be easy, Zipp. We tried our best, but not everything can come up in a day.” Sunset said with an assuring smile, since finding a clue wouldn’t be easy.
“And at least Elder Flwoer has had a nice time here.” Sunny added as they turned to Elder Flower, who is smiling happily while looking at the station. “She seems happy.”
“She did have a good time going to the big city.” Sunset said with a smile.
“And really, doing something like this for her? That’s a win in my book.” Zipp said in agreement with a smile, even with no clues about Opaline, at least Elder Flower have fun.
A little bit later, the four ponies walked back to the Marestream while Elder Flower is levitating many bags of things she bought while shopping.
“Thank you so much for giving me the trip of a lifetime, fillies!” Elder Flower said happily to them.
“We’re so glad we could help.” Sunny said with a smile.
“Anything for a friend of Izzy.” Sunset added with a smile as well.
“You deserved it.” Zipp finished.
“It’s turelly one to remember.” Elder Flower said before she remember what she saw. “Especially since I got to see that new Together Tree! So lovely!”
That got the three ponies attention. “Sorry… what?” Zipp asked in confusion.
“A Together Tree?” Sunset asked while scratching her head in confusion.
“Uh, Yes!The Together Tree.” Elder Flower repeated. “Over there.” She pointed to the palace’s garden to the tree Misty and the others grew together at the ending of the Cutie Blossom Bash. “Just like our beautiful Wishing Tree in Bridlewood.” She stated.
“What’s a Together Tree?” Zipp asked in wonder.
“Yeah, because I’m drawing a blank. I never heard of a tree like that before.” Sunset said in wonder, since she never heard of such trees before.
Elder Flower then begin her story as she started to picture in her head of a tree the Mane 7, sin Misty, grew in Maretime Bay during Hitch’s no magic rule incident, the Wishing Tree in Bridlewood, and now the tree Misty grew in Zephyr Heights. “These trees are very powerful. Created only when ponies come together through true friendship. Together Trees communicate and connect magically to each other, through their roots underground.” She said as they pictured the roots of each Together Trees’s roots coming together from each pony tribe hometowns as they tangled together in the middle while forming a heart. “They are our great protectors. And we, in turn, must protect them.” She finished.
“Whoa!” Sunset, Sunny and Zipp all said in awed as Zipp jumped a bit.
“We never knew these trees connected us that closely. Looks like there’s more to them than we thought.” Sunset said in awed at what they learned about the Together Trees.
“Yeah, these trees are more special and amazing.” Sunny said in agreement.
Zipp nodded as she turned to Elder Flower. “Elder Flower, thank you so much for teaching us that.” She said gratefully.
“All in a day’s work existing with the knowledge of my unicorn ancestors!” Elder Flower said with a smile. “Especially Great Great Great Great Auntie Moondancer. She sure is a lot.” She said with a smile.
Sunset went wide eyes from that. “Wait, your related to Moondancer?!” She asked in shock.
“Yes, deary. Why you’d ask?” Elder Flower asked in confusion with a smile.
“Well, it just that… Moondancer was a classmate I knew back when I attended Celestia’s School for Gifted Unicorns!” Sunset spoke in shock since Moondancer was one of her old classmates before Twilight stepped in and took her place after she went rouge.
“Hey, that’s right. You told us about her.” Sunny said in surprise, since Sunset told them about Moondancer during their first trip to Bridlewood when they went to get the Unicorn Crystal.
“Huh, so that explains why she was telling me she knows you.” Elder Flower said as she look up into the sky. “Quit your yapping, I hear ya! And I will tell Sunset you said hi!” She said as the three ponies looked at each other strangely.
“So that’s where Izzy gets it.” Sunset said as the three mares chuckled in amusement.
At the Crystal Tea Room, Misty and Alphabittle returned as Misty is on the counter making something while Alphabittle sat on the table with two armadillos next to him with his eyes closed.
“Oh, I know I said I was a patient stallion, but I cannot wait to see what you’ve up your sleeve.” Alphabittle said in excitement as Misty finished making a tea as she place it in front of Alphabittle.
“Okay, open your eyes!” Misty said with a wave of her hoof.
Alphabittle opened his eyes as he look at the tea Misty gave him. “Tea?!” He said in surprise as he got closer to it. “Hmm, tea.” He then exclaimed happily.
“Not just any tea.” Misty said as it got her dad’s attention. “A new bled designed and crafted by me. Try it!” She offered.
Alphabittle smiled as he then took a sip of the tea as he smiled widely. “Ah! Delicious.” He said as he then spins in his chair while in thought. “At first, it has a bitterness. But then, it softened into a warm, comforting cup.” He noted as he turned to his daughter.
“My tea-metaphor for you.” Misty said with a soft smile.
“Aw… It’s like poetry!” Alphabittle said while feeling tough. “I am so grateful to get this second second-chance with you.” He said to his daughter with a smile. “You’re home!” He said as he touch Misty's hoof.
Misty then gave a thought as she spoke. “Honestly, I still don’t really feel at ‘home’ here. I don’t know why?” She wondered, since Bridlewood is her home, she still doesn’t feel like home for her.
Alphabittle had a thought as he smiled and stood up. “I know just what to do. Just need to make a little phone call.” He said as he walked of while Misty looked on in confusion.
Sometime later at sunset, Misty and Alphabittle arrived at the Brighthouse as they stopped at the front door.
“Ta-da-da!” Alphabittle said with a smile. “Get it? Da-da?” He added with a chuckle.
Misty just looked confused. “Huh? The Crystal Brighthouse?” She asked in confusion as they entered the Brighthouse.
Alphabittle and Misty then entered the bedroom while Misty is still confused before she heard squeaking sound and turned to see something that made her gasped in surprise.
What Misty is seeing is that her bed and the things she have all in the bedroom with her bed in front of a butterfly window while Discord, Izzy, Hitch and Pipp are setting up her tings.
“Hey!” Pipp said once they saw Misty as she put the box down. “Sorry we don’t have everything unpacked yet. You have some…” She said as she tried to lift the box again, but it was pretty heavy as she grunted in effort. “...heavy stuff.” She finished as she flopped to the floor as she panted a bit. “What’s in this?” She wondered as she opened the box.
Once Pipp opened the box, she startled back a bit once she saw Sparky in it with some barbells in the box as he babbled and tried to lift one up ass it was pretty heavy for him as Hitch look in the box with Pipp.
“Sparky, put those down! You’ll stub a claw.” Hitch said to his baby dragon as Sparky sigh from that.
Izzy picked up the barbell Sparky was holding as he sneeze and fell to the floor on his back as the sneeze released one of his dragon fires as it turned the barbell Izzy was holding into three balloons as they smiled cutely at him.
“Good try though, little dragon.” Discord commented as he ticked Sparky’s belly as the baby dragon giggled from that.
“What is all this?” Misty asked her father in confusion with a smile.
“I reach out to your pals about living here.” Alphabittle answered with a warm smile. “They’d love for you to stay, if that’s what you want.” He explained.
Misty turned to her father in surprise as she turned to the others with a smile. “Really?!” She asked happily as the five nodded in respond with a smile as Misty laughed and ran up to her bed while jumping on it. “I do!” She exclaimed as the critters came ot her to join the fun.
“I just made the bed!” Hitch cried out as he shook his head in amusement as he calmed down while Sparky joined Misty. “Heh, whatever!” He said in amusement.
“Glad to know your learning, Hitch.” Discord said with a smile as they all watched Misty happily.
Misty then got off her bed as she came to her father. “You don’t have to live with me in Bridlewood. You don’t have to do anything you don’t want to.” Alphabittle said with a smile as he sat down and grab Misty by the shoulder as she smiled at him as he held her cheeks. “You’re a grown pony, now. Not my baby filly. And that’s okay.” He said tearfully as he sigh and let her go. “Just promise you’ll call me every week. Also, I filled the fridge downstairs with healthy meals. Oh, and you were so good at making that tea, I left you a giant box full of dry herbs and flowers so you can make your own blends at home!” He listed out as he gestured to one of the boxes with a herb and flower pictures on it as he place a hoof on Misty’s shoulder.
Pipp was moving a box as she was next to the box of the herbs and flowers as she gave a nervous look. “Um… fun!” She said while knowing that this will be heavy.
“I’m going to miss you so much!” Alphabittle said to Misty with teary eyes and a smile.
Misty returned the gesture as she smiled at her father. “I’m going to miss you too, Dad.” She said as she hugged her father as he returned the gesture happily.
“Still got it.” Alphabittle said happily.
Then the three ponies and Discord all exclaimed in joy as they and Sparky joining on the hug. “We want in too!” Pipp said in joy.
In the sky, the Marestream was flying thigh speed as Elder Flower look out through one of the windows.
“North Wind! How I’ve missed you!” Elder Flower said happily to the wind as she went back inside as she turned to Sunny and Sunset. “You know, there’s a story about the North Wind went up against the South Wind in a dance-off that turned into a tornado.” She said to them.
“Hmm?” Zipp said in the cockpit with in interesting smile while wearing her glasses. “Dance-off? Sounds like some story!” She said, remembering the dance-off Sunny went against Alphabittle when they tried to win for the Unicorn Crystal.
“And a familiar one.” Sunset said as she nudge Sunny playfully with a smirk as the Earth Pony chuckled sheepishly, remembering that day all to well.
The Marestream then landed at the Brighthouse as they walked up to the entrance. “Is there some deep, hidden message to decode in this one?” Zipp asked Elder Flower in interest.
“There’s always messages in the wind, dear.” Elder Flower answered as Sunny and Sunset are at the front door. “If you fly directly into on a Thursday, you’ll see what I mean.” She said as she walked up to Sunny and Sunset.
Zipp gave a thought as she smiled and entered the Brighthouse.
In the back of the Brighthouse, the group were laughing while spending time together while drinking tea as Sunset, Zipp, Sunny and Elder Flower came from the door to them.
“You’re back!” Izzy cheered.
“Hey, pals!” Hitch said with a smile.
“We missed you!” Pipp added as she turned away from her phone.
“How was you’re day?” Discord asked.
Sunny then gasped when she saw Misty and Alphabittle. “Yay, Misty’s here!” She cheered.
“Welcome back, Misty. Hi, Alphabittle.” Sunset greeted them with a smile.
Zipp then came to them with an an exciting look. “Hi, Alphabittle! You’ll never believe what we learned.” She said to their friends as they turned to Elder Flower. “Elder Flower, would you like to do the honors?” She asked with a smile.
Elder Flower smiled as she levitated her glasses and a fork. “It all starts with a magical bat…” She started, about to say the bat story again before Sunny stopped her.
“I… think she means the other one.” Sunny reminded her with a smile.
“The one after the bat.” Sunset added with a smile.
“Oh!” Elder Flower said in realization with a chuckle. “Uh, the Together Trees. Well.. They’re all magically connected…” She started to tell her story about the Together Trees.
The Together Tree in Zephyr Heights then have a flower glowing as it bloomed with sparkles flying off as it was the first flower to bloom.

Having Misty in Bridlewood with her dad was good for her, but moving to the Crystal Brighthouse with the mane 7, makes her feel happy and safe with great family and friends. Because it makes friendship grow.
11702023
Yeah same here
Error: You said Prince Cadance not Princess.
11702039
Thanks, sorry, I missed that while writing it
Wooooooooowwwwwww, now that's what I call an amazing chapter.
Um, just a heads-up, JesusG0987, there might be just a few minor spelling errors, just so you know.
11702052
Hey, Thanks and give me a break, I spent all day on the screen writing this, there were bound to be a few errors, if any of you could see them, let me know and I’ll fix the
My live reaction to this whole episode:
media.tenor.com/vB4Jo_ano0gAAAAd/floreyonce-peter-griffin.gif
I take back what I said: THIS is my favorite Episode. Seeing a father struggling to be a father again, as well as a daughter being one for the very first time is hard, but when everything turns out well in the end, it makes a beautiful and heartwarming scene.
This truly is, hands down, the best Episode in Chapter 5, and one of the best in MYM.
11702070
Thanks buddy, and it sure was
Misty Wisty very cute nickname
11702412
That is cute,
I mean it has been a long time since kids either five or six don't really remember too much
11702416
Yeah that is true, and being raised in isolation with Opaline didn't help much either
Yeah that's what I thought I wonder it could be like their ancestor or something I mean who knows but I would like to say it's possible
11702466
Alphabittle did say it came from a muesum and from the looks of things, Bridlewood don't have any guards of their own like Zephyr Heights, Shining must've been pretty memorable to be remembered
Hey Miracles always happens right
11702474
That is true, and for Misty, it's a miracle alright after years of being raised and feared by Opaline
Uhhh I think Opaline was not playing a game she was actually plotting
Yeah she really has the worst case of lack of patient
Lol I can't believe I didn't notice that that's basically foreshadowing the next episode
11702483
Yeah, Opaline really has issues and tricked Misty into playing her plans
11702492
No kidding, that pony is impatient as Rainbow, way lower than Rainbow standards
11702496
Heheh, foreshadowing move, get's us everytime
Sometimes it's really hard to let go of the past especially how long he's been as a parent since you disappeared and he's just basically trying to be a parent again
Yeah I done that before it was incredibly painful
11702508
Can't blame Alphabittle or Misty, while Alphabittle remembers her as a filly, Misty hardly remembers her own past
11702509
Yeah, ouch
I get it he's pretty excited to have his daughter back but probably try to calm the heck down dude
11702512
Can't you blame him, he haven't seen her since she disappeared as a filly and was bursting in joy to have her back
The stallion just look at Misty boredly before he spoke. “Feelings…” He said as he started sniffling and look in a distance. “I understand those well.” He said while playing a hoof to his chest.
Misty just raised a brow at the unicorn stallion weirdly, not sure what he meant as the stallion continued.
“May the turnstile of emotions guide you from eternal darkness to light.” The stallion said to Misty while getting off the merry-go-round as he walked off.
that was pretty something but I guess I'm glad he understands the situation and that speak he made was pretty deep
Dang okay he's kind of reminds me of Princess Celestia how daring she is but I guess being stuck over there really kind of brings more excitement when you want to do something that you couldn't do for a long time but wow I never expected that
11702517
No kidding, that Unicorn must've been on of Onyx's friends with the rymthes
11702519
No kidding, personally, I never thought another pony would be as extereme things as Celestia, Alphabittle sure love the excitement
11702526
Heheh, nice
Judging how old Misty is the flavor must have expired a long time ago
11702536
Yeah, if Alphabittle would just write down the recipe, he would've made a new batch, that tea is really old to how long Misty been away from home
Sweet mother of Celestia this is super awkward
That always makes me wonder are they going to do something about that area maybe just to clean it up or is it Beyond prepare
11702538
Yeah, it is, I would be the same in her place
Carousel Boutique that's one of Rarities shopping oh I miss that girl that drama girl 😭
11702539
Canterlot is big, don't think it would be fix up anytime soon
11702541
Same here, memories
You can say that again
11702548
Yeah, that's Onyx and that is true
“It was a commentary on the loss of identity.” Onyx explain.
“Imbed with undertones of fear about a newfound fragile father-daughter relationship.” Dapple added as he clap his hooves together.
Actually they pretty much hit the nail on that
Opaline really did a number on Misty's mentally and emotionally it really breaks the heart how she's been through
11702550
No kidding, with ponies or people like them, they can read emotions
11702551
Opaline is so gonna get it for ruining Misty's identity and choices of being her self
Oh my gosh that part made me tear off so badly such a sweet moment
Whoa hey that sunglasses kind of looks like Vinyl Scratch sunglasses that she wears
