Help from a Friend

On the way to Twilight’s house, Cream was pouting a little while walking in a stomping manner.

“Can you believe that showpony, Miss Shy,” said Cream in an upset tone, “What would make him think that Cheese was nothing but a pet?”

“Chao, chao, chao, chao, chao!”

Cheese was right with her in her anger moment.

“Well… I guess that’s what it seemed like to him in his eyes. I mean… a lot of ponies here have pets.”

Cream grabbed Cheese and gave him a light hug to calm herself down, “I know, but… he seems to see pets as nothing but items that you can do whatever you want to do to them. Cheese is nothing like that to me.”

Angel wanted to help Cream calm down too, so he gave her a nice snuggly hug around her neck. She looked over at him and giggled a bit while lightly smiling; it made him smile too.

“You’re right, Cream,” Fluttershy responded, “but don’t let it get you down. However, I can’t help but wonder why he was so eager for you to give up Cheese?”

“I think it’s pretty obvious,” said Cream while looking at Cheese who was still in her hands, “But who cares, there is nothing that will break me and Cheese apart!”

“Chao, chao!” Cheese responded with a smile.

“Do you agree, Angel?” asked Cream.

Angel looked up straight in Cream’s eyes and rapidly nodded his head. His little bunny tail wiggled with happiness.

“You know, this is the longest I’ve seen Angel this happy;” said Fluttershy feeling kinda puzzled, “it’s quite strange.”

“Hey, is that the place, Miss Shy?” asked Cream. She was pointing ahead to a giant tall tree house; one unlike any tree house she or Cheese has ever seen.

“Yep,” Fluttershy responded, “Come on, let’s go.”

-----

Meanwhile… in the house…

“Hey, Twilight,” Spike called out, “I’m going out!”

Twlilight stepped out of her study room as she looked over at Spike who was already at the door.

“Where are you going, Spike?”

“To the Carousel Boutique,” said Spike in a dreamy induced voice, “Rarity asked me; that’s right, me; if I could help her gem hunt again. You know… for her masterpieces.”

Twilight just rolled her eyes and smiled, “Well, of course you couldn’t say no to Rarity… no surprise there.”

“Hey, just helping out a lovely friend,” said Spike with a nonchalant expression.

“Have fun, Spike,” Twilight called out, “and remember to keep our claws to ourselves.”

“Yeah, yeah; very funny.”

Spike exited out the door and was about to make his way to Rarity’s place. Within his first few steps, he came past Fluttershy and waved, “Hey, Fluttershy.”

Fluttershy greeted back, “Hello, Spike.”

Then Spike slightly noticed Cream who was behind Fluttershy and waved at her as he went by, “Hey, giant rabbit girl.”

Cream looked at Cheese confusingly and Cheese just shrugged his shoulders. She then smiled awkwardly and greeted the little dragon back, “Umm… h-hello, Spike?”

Suddenly, Spike stopped in his tracks and just stood there for a second wondering what he thought he just saw. He turned around only to get a good look at Cream and Cheese who were looking at him. And on top of that, he saw Angel on Cream’s shoulder rubbing his cheek against her face. Then Angel stopped when he saw Spike staring; and all he did was smile and wave. Spike arched his eyebrow, and then turned back around away from them. He scratched his head wondering if he really did see what he saw; an unusual blue flying creature, plus a giant female rabbit wearing a bunch of garments and Angel cuddling against this giant rabbit and actually greeted him with a smile. Spike thought for a second without turning back around, and then he just shook his head and said to himself, “…Nah.” Then he went onwards to Rarity’s place.

“Was that… a dragon,” asked Cream.

“The only one living here in Ponyville,” Fluttershy responded.

From inside the tree house, Twilight was tending to some regular business when she suddenly heard a couple of knocks on the front door.

“I’m coming,” shouted Twilight as she approached the door.

Once she opened it, she was welcomed by Fluttershy’s presence, “Hey, Twilight.”

“Oh, hey, Fluttershy and… whoa.”

Twilight was suddenly caught off guard when she saw Cream standing beside her friend and was looking at her with much awe.

“Umm… Fluttershy,” said Twilight awkwardly, “am I the only one who sees a giant rabbit standing beside you?”

“Nope; this is my new dearest friend, Cream.”

“Cream, huh?”

Twilight then saw Angel resting on Cream’s shoulder smiling; and it’s almost like she could literally see hearts floating above him.

“Is Angel… alright?” she asked.

“Oh, don’t worry about him,” Cream responded, “He just seems to really like me… a lot.”

“I can only imagine why.” Twilight suddenly gasped, “Wow, you can talk?!”

“What do you mean by that?” said Cream, “Of course I can talk.”

“Oh, sorry; I didn’t mean any harm by it, it’s just… well, you’re a rabbit… and you talk… and… wow… umm… this is awkward.”

Twilight’s eyes suddenly caught view of Cheese as he was hovering above Cream just staring at her.

“Oh, and who is this little fella? He doesn’t look like any creature I’ve ever heard about.” Suddenly, she gasped again and smiled a bright smile, “Could he be a new breed of creature that has never been seen by pony eyes?!”

Cream and Cheese felt a little uncomfortable of how close Twilight was to them being so excited and curious.

“Umm… well, you’re part right,” said Fluttershy.

“Part right?” Twilight wondered.

Cream walked up closer to Twilight and gave her explanation, “Miss Sparkle, it’s very nice to meet you. I’m Cream and this is Cheese; and I think what Miss Shy is saying is that Cheese is not from here. Well… we’re not from here.”

Twilight seemed confused of what she said, “Wait, what? You mean not from Ponyville?”

Cream smiled and shook her head, “No, we’re not from your world. We’re from another dimensional world.”

“Another… world? Well I guess explains a lot. Wait, what am I saying; you’re from another world! A whole new world filled with unknown stuff to us! OMG, you have to tell me all about it! Please; pretty please!?”

Twilight definitely seems very interested into knowing about Cream and Cheese’s world; but they were just hoping that this outcome wouldn’t turn out the same way as it did with Leone.

“Um… actually, we came here because Miss Shy said that maybe you could help us figure a way back home.”

“Chao, chao.”

“Oh… really?” Twilight responded.

“Y-yes, I did,” said Fluttershy, “These two came out of the Everfree Forest and ended up at my house. They seemed very scared and confused at first, but I think they have somewhat gotten use to this place.”

“Hey, wait; w-we w-weren’t that s-scared,” said Cream.

“Chao, chao.”

“Sure you weren’t,” said Twilight, “So if I am to help you find your way back home, you’re going to have to tell me a little bit about it, right?”

“I don’t know; I guess I do,” Cream responded unsurely.

“Wonderful! Come on in; tell me all about it! There’s no time to waste!”

Twilight went deeper into the house getting it ready for her guests. Cream and Cheese looked at Fluttershy awkwardly, and Angel was watching Twilight while rolling his eyes.

“She’s really eager to learn about our world, isn’t she?” said Cream.

“Chao, chao, chao.”

“Are you sure she can help us?”

Fluttershy nodded her head, “Yeah, she can. As much excited she is to learn about new discoveries, Twilight does mean well.

After getting comfortable in Twilight’s house, several minutes went by as Cream explained to the highly curious unicorn mare the major situation that she and Cheese were in. The explanation of the symbols in the cave back at their world and how they got there proved to be truly mind-blowing to Twilight.

“So let me get this straight; this cave was in your world?”

“That’s right,” said Cream.

“And the symbols around this portal that you’re mentioning are the exact marks that you said were there?”

“Of course,” said Cream, “I wouldn’t have said so otherwise. Don’t you believe me?”

“Chao, chao?”

“No, wait. I do believe you, it’s just a little weird that these exact marks were in a place that’s not even of our world. This all points to something that has to do with Elements of Harmony, it has to; there’s no other explanation!”

“Are you sure, Twilight,” asked Fluttershy, “I was thinking that maybe it’s just a weird coincidence; don’t you think so, Angel?”

Angel looked over at her with an un-amused look while crossing his arms.

“Oh, um… okay.”

“Come on, Fluttershy,” said Twilight, “this is no coincidence! The Elements of Harmony are located in this world, and this rabbit knew their shape symbols before we told her, and… and… well, you get it; no coincidence!”

“Um… guys,” said Cream shyly, “what are the Elements of Harmony?”

It was time for Twilight to tell Cream something about their world; maybe if she told her about their meaning, something familiar might come to her.

“Well, they’re powerful treasures that exist here in the world of Equestria. They represent the power of harmony and friendship. Me, Fluttershy, and our other main friends are currently the wielders of these items and have used them to keep peace and balance in the world.”

“Really?” said Cream in a questionable tone.

“Chao?”

“Fluttershy’s element represents Kindness, and mine is Magic. The others represent Honesty, Loyalty, Generosity, and Laughter. Without any of them, they could never work at their full extent though.”

Cream and Cheese was quite intrigued by these Elements of Harmony. But they couldn’t help but think that this kind of thing reminded them of something.

“They sound like very interesting treasures, Miss Sparkle,” Cream responded.

“So… do they remind you of anything from your world?” asked Twilight.

“I’m not sure,” said Cream while scratching her head, “It reminds me of something, but I can’t think of it.”

Cheese couldn’t think of anything either.

“Hey, Cream,” said Fluttershy suddenly, “what about that glowing purple emerald you have?”

“Oh yeah!” Cream once again pulled the emerald out from her dress pocket and showed it to Twilight. “In our world we have these. They’re called Chaos Emeralds and they each hold a huge immeasurable amount of power.”

The light emitting from the gem was so bright that Twilight had to shield her eyes with her hoof for a few seconds, “Wow, so bright! It’s definitely unlike anything I’ve ever seen! Is this gem what possibly caused the portal in your world to open up and send you and you friend here?”

“I think so,” Cream responded, “In the cave when I picked it up, it shot a huge glow of light, and suddenly the portal opened behind us; it was a bit scary.”

“But wait a second,” Twilight continued, “You mentioned the plural word ‘they’, so how many of these gems are there in your world?”

“They’re seven in all and each is a different color: red, blue, light-blue, yellow, green, white, and purple; the one we have!”

“Chao!”

“Seven Chaos Emeralds, huh,” Twilight responded, “That’s oddly weird.”

“How so,” asked Fluttershy.

“Well think about it; the 6 symbols of the Elements of Harmony around the portal in Cream’s world, and the 7 Chaos Emeralds that exist in her world. 6 Elements, 7 emeralds; the only different thing about them besides what they can do is that there is an extra number in the emeralds. It all seems so weird.”

“It does seem quite strange, “said Fluttershy.

Cream was quite curious of whether or not they came up with something; it all became too confusing for her.

“Does each of the emeralds have a special meaning behind them like the Elements of Harmony?” asked Twilight.

“Not in particular," said Cream, "but there is a saying behind their existence. What was it again; the ser… vers are… the 7 Chaos. Chaos… is… Power? Um… oh, Power is enriched by the heart! That’s all I can remember; I think there’s one more part, but I don’t remember.”

Twilight kept thinking on it, but still nothing came to her.

“So… does any of that help you out,” asked Cream, “Have you figured out a way we could get home?”

“Chao, chao, chao?”

“I’m sorry, I can’t think of anything. I mean, if there were only 6 of those gems, and then maybe I would think they could have some sort of connection; but it just doesn’t seem possible.”

Both Cream and Cheese both held their heads down in deep disappointment and sighed. So far it seemed like that they were going to be stuck there forever; not that they didn’t like the world that they were in.

“S-so… were going to be here forever? There’s no way to get back?”

“Chao?”

Angel saw Cream crying slightly and tried to cheer her up by giving her a carrot; it always cheered him up…mostly.

“Thanks, Angel,” said Cream, “but I’m not hungry.”

“Don’t worry Cream,” said Fluttershy, “you and your friend are not stuck here, we just need to think of a better solution. I mean… you got here one way, right? So there has to be a way to get you back; there just has to be!”

Cream and Cheese just wiped some of their tears away trying to stay calm.

“Fluttershy is right,” shouted Twilight suddenly, “There wouldn’t be no way for you to get back if it was possible for you get here in the first place. There’s an answer, and I’m gonna find it!”

“You really think that there’s a way that we would be able to get back home?” asked Cream.

“With Celestia as our witness, I know there is!”

A smile found its way back on Cream and Cheese’s face as they suddenly brighten up with relief, “Well, if you say that there’s a way, then we have to believe that you’re right.”

“Chao, chao!”

Fluttershy sighed with a slight relief; she was worried that they were going to start crying again.

“Woah, look at the time,” said Twilight looking at the clock tower outside, “It’s already getting into the evening hours. Time files when you’re making new discoveries I guess.”

Suddenly, Cream started to yawn very loudly along with Cheese as well.

“Oh my goodness,” said Fluttershy, “are you two getting sleepy?”

Cream was wiping her eyes trying to stay awake for the time being, “Well, we didn’t get too much sleep today because of the whole realizing what happened to us thing.” She suddenly yawned again, “And this is usually the time my mother helps me clean up and go to bed for the day.”

“Well, I can take you back to my cottage and help you clean up so you can sleep;” said Fluttershy, “after a nice little something to eat of course. I’ll even wash your garments for you… if you’re okay with that. And tomorrow, we’ll continue looking for a way to get you back home. Sounds good?”

Cream was wiping her eyes again but signaled her by nodding.

“Say… Cream,” said Twilight, “do you think that you can trust me enough to hold onto that emerald for you? I need to use it to see if I can figure out something about it.”

“Okay,” Cream responded softly as she slowly walked over to Twilight and handed her the emerald. Twilight picked it up using her magic and placed it in a bag that she had.

“Don’t worry; it’s in safe hands,” said Twilight with a sweet smile.

“Wow,” said Cream, “that’s so cool how you unicorns can just pick things up without bending or reaching to get something.”

“Chao, chao.”

Fluttershy noticed that Angel was already asleep on top of Creams shoulder; he must have been pretty tuckered out too.

“Come on, Cream,” said Fluttershy, “you can ride on my back.”

Cream floated onto Fluttershy’s back and laid herself there to rest on the way back to Fluttershy’s cottage. Angel and Cheese laid on top of Cream while resting themselves. Twilight couldn’t help but think that what she saw was one of the cutest scenes she’s ever seen.

“Never thought I would find something that looks so weird so cute,” she said.

“Will you actually find a way to get them back home, Twilight?” asked Fluttershy feeling a little worried.

“You know I will, Fluttershy,” Twilight responded, ”Just make sure they get plenty rest; they’ll probably gonna need their energy tomorrow.”

Fluttershy just went out casually carrying her adorable load on her back; being careful that none of them fell off.

Seconds later, Spike walked back in the house while looking behind him feeling quite confused. He saw Twilight gathering some books and was wondering what had happened.

“Twilight,” he said, “Is it just me or did I just see…”

“No, Spike,” Twilight interrupted while smiling, “It’s not just you.”

Back at the cottage…

Fluttershy was in the midst of giving Cream and Cheese a bath inside a wooden tub that she had for such uses. She was just rinsing her off to prepare to get her dressed.

“I just don’t understand why you have to wear clothes when you sleep, Cream,” said Fluttershy, “What’s the point?”

“It’s just our thing I guess,” Cream responded, “It’s no big thing, it’s just how we do.”

“Well, Cheese seems to do well without clothes,” said Fluttershy with a slight laugh.

“Chao!”

Fluttershy quickly handed Cream and Cheese each a towel as they stepped out of the wooden tub. She then grabbed a long dress-like gown made of some old leftover cloth and handed it to Cream.

“Here you go, Cream. I asked some of my animal friends to make it for you to sleep in. I wouldn’t be able to give any garments I may have because they probably won’t fit you. It’s not much, but don’t worry; your other clothes will be all clean by tomorrow.”

Cream just slipped into the gown and had a good look at it. She just smiled at Fluttershy while getting comfortable in it.

“Thanks Miss Shy; I love it! It feels really comfortable.”

“I’m glad you like it,” Fluttershy responded.

Afterwards, Fluttershy led Cream and Cheese upstairs to her bedroom to lay them down to sleep. Cream didn’t mind sleeping in the same bed as Fluttershy; after all, she does the same thing with her mother on multiple occasions.

“Miss Shy,” said Cream with half-lidded eyes, “I just want to say thank you. Ever since we came here unexpectedly, you and other ponies we may have met were nothing but nice to us.”

“Chao.”

“Why of course; it’s not like we would be mean to you. Only a mean monster would act in such a way towards a little child like you.”

Cream smiled a bit upon saying, “You mean like that Leone pony?”

Fluttershy laughed a little along with Cream and Cheese, “Well… I guess he was a bit mean in the end, but he’s no monster. He’ll have to do something much bigger than harass you a bit to earn that title.”

Both Cream and Cheese both suddenly made a huge yawn; it was time for them to go to sleep.

“Okay, you two,” said Fluttershy, “you have to go to sleep now. You’re gonna need your energy tomorrow.”

Both Cream and Cheese slowly nodded their heads in agreement.

“Okay, Miss Shy.”

“Chao, chao.”

After tucking them in, Fluttershy suddenly asked Cream, “Do you want me to read you a bedtime story?”

“Sure,” Cream responded, “I ask my mommy all the time.”

“Chao.”

Fluttershy then sat on Cream’s resting side of the bed and straighten out her voice.

“Okay… then how about I tell you a story about the Princesses of this land; I know you’ll love it.”
