UPDATE: IT'S CANCLED?! Yes, I'm afraid it is. I'm going to work on better things I promise. This was a piece if crap in my opinion and I've decided to go and work on things I can actually do correctly the first time around. Now that I've actually learned how to write; I'll write something everyone and expecially me can Enjoy.
Why.. Why is it so dark out. My room is empty with no liveliness. If it's full of anything it's the same unstimulating white walls, one baige window and dark grey bed. My eyes were hardly open, but I had no reason to even be awake. It's just another boring day and I have nothing to expect. I slowly started to get up only to sit. It's always been the same routine. I wish I could disappear but I remained. Only for the love I have for the people around me.
I try to turn on the lights although my movements are very slow. I stood up completely. The rough carpet unseen in the lighting of the room. I took hardly two steps as I fell. I hit my head against the light wall, my room may be small but my 5'2 height was too much for it, as of right now my feet touching the other wall with my trobbing head against the other. I rose and made my goal of turning on the lights. I thought of school and looked at the window. I started to walk to it. All I would do at school was hardly pay attention and stare at the other kids in there groups. I'm hardly noticed mainly in the background. My friends if I should call them that, mainly use me to be noticed. The friends I have are diminishing. When I do have the chance to make real friends I ruin it with my awful conversation skills. Saying the wrong things at the best moments. Most leave the conversation but the ones who stay I shy away from because I get to nervous to even try and continue. Cute guys are the worse even being approached by one I freak and imeadietly try to escape. I always escape to my homework but I'm not great with school work. I maintain strict B's and C's. I do love writing the most. Language arts is my best subject if only I could bring that into actual conversation. My thoughts of school were quickly interrupted by a screaming by my mother. My brown eyes widened in shock.
“Ashlyn?” Mom called, knocking on my door. I giggled quietly, and moaned in annoyance. “Ashlyn!” she repeated. “I’m not going to call you again! Get up, it’s time for school!” I stood still, not wanting to heed the call to duty. Nonetheless, I am fourteen and had no other real option when it came to going to school. My vision eventually adjusted to the dimness of the room and I changed into a warm set of clothes, preparing myself for the day ahead. Instinctively, I took a glance out of the window to see the snow that had piled up over the last few days. I had been hoping for a snow day so that I could escape school, but none had come so far. But… did the snow appear to be… higher than normal? No, I thought to myself, pulling on a pair of woollen socks. It never is. Besides, since when does anything go in my favour? Never, that’s when. I walked up to the window and used one of my tan fingers to trace a smiley face on it “Ashlyn! You need to be out here now!” Mom reminded me. I hastily bolted out of my bedroom, into the medium-sized dinning and kitchen room and served myself a large helping of cereal. “What on earth took you so long?” Mom demanded, taking a large sip of coffee. “Well… I, uh… I was wondering if today might be a snow day,” I replied meekly. I've always been shy in my conversations, if only I could put in some attitude. Mom pursed her lips like she normally does when I talk. “It hasn’t been for the last few days, I don’t think it will be today.” “Can you please… um… check? Just in case?” Mom sighed exasperatedly and pulled out her smartphone, tapping it a few times to get weather reports in our area. “Well, Ash, it seems that the weather is in your favour today. Theres no school for you.” She with her sharp movement showed me the smartphone rather rudely to show her point. Even so. My heart did a backflip and I fought to keep my expression calm. Free, I thought gleefully, slowly I sighed.
Soon enough my mother was almost prepared to leave. She curled her short black and grey hair, and donned a regular dark yellow sweater with darker orange sequins neatly stitched into it. Right when she was about to step out the door, she looked over her shoulders and said, "Your father left to his brother's for a while." She paused and sighed, smiled and looked back. "Clean around the house and don't do anything stupid. Good bye, love you." A gentle goodbye for the day. "Love you too," I replied. The door slammed shut, sending a slight shockwave across the living room. My dad was gone again, and it wasn't the first time he left. I knew better though; I knew that he wouldn't be coming back. "Goodbye to everyone," I softly muttered to myself. I looked up tears starting to well up in my eyes. A black rectangle, or, rather, the 34-inch television caught my eye. I slowly picked myself off the ground, grabbing the edge of the cream couch beside me. I grabbed the remote and pressed the on button, I flipped through the channels. A My Little Pony marathon was on and I nearly missed the beginning of it. Good thing I had all day to myself. As soon as the first episode started, the TV started messing up. The TV had been messing up like this lately by saying things that aren't in the program, but the effects never lasted for very long. What always caught my attention was when it would have someone say “We'll save you in no time” or “Get ready we gotta go". I wish I could go with them. I did certainly get scared at first but the more repetitive it was the more I just went with it. I had told my mom about the TV mishaps but she just put it off, dismissing it with a "Oh, we'll get a technician in here to fix it up" or "Must be the antenna acting up again". I didn't complain because I knew that there were other things to fix and bills to pay. I retreated from my thoughts and continued to watch the My Little Pony marathon. Before I had even realized it three hours had passed. I did a double take at the clock mounted on the wall, not believing the massive time change. It didn't feel like three hours, but I guess TV can do that to you. I turned my attention back to the bright colored ponies. It mattered not whether I payed attention to the TV or not because I've already seen every episode and both Equestria Girls movies. As I drew back to show, the TV started growing brighter. Confused, I grabbed the remote and made an attempt to turn the brightness down. The brightness continued growing and it eventually turned into a blinding white and I could feel a... breeze coming from it. No, wait. It wasn't like a breeze, but more like a suction, rather like a vacuum cleaner. My life had always felt Insignificant but at that moment it felt disappointing. So this is how it ends? I thought to myself, completely baffled. Being sucked into a television during my favourite program? I made a slight effort to save myself, but my curiosity got the better of me. Maybe this is all a dream. I mean, it would make sense: snow day, Mom being relatively kind, and my just happening to not miss the beginning of the marathon, of my favorite show. I didn't even try to save myself. Dreams can't hurt... right? I slowly let go of the rough couch, the familiar landscape of my living room giving way to a blanket of darkness. Nightmare. Definitely a nightmare! I was beginning to cry until someone started speaking. Well, actually two someones. A male and female. This didn't really help all that much as it just confused me even farther. "Everything will be alright. I saw your plight, full of loneliness." The voice was feminine and strong willed. "Who are you? Why am I here? Who planned this and why? Where am I?" Many more questions were running through my head like: am I gonna be stuck here forever? Why am I here alone? Why me? "Is this a dream?" "There's no need to worry. Trust your instincts and watch your surroundings," the masculine voice called, having an equally strong tone as the female one. "Wait, will I ever see you?" I squeaked, afraid of messing up in a dream. Especially with an unknown being. "I suppose sometime yes?" they replied simultaneously, chuckling. I nodded once, twice, three times, still unsure of where I was. My vision cleared and I found myself to be in a grassy field. It was very bright and my eyes were not adjusted. I felt... different, so I tried to stand up. I put one hand on the ground then another, then my feet. I screamed because at that moment I looked down and realized that I had no hands or feet, but hooves. I ran in a haphazard circle before I calmed down. Calm yourself, Ashlyn. This is just a dream; a result of watching too much My Little Pony. I thought, taking a seat. I then looked down the hill I was on. On the hill there was a very large and beautiful oak tree. It reminded me of one of the towns in Pokemon. Down below the oak tree was a vividly coloured town, all bright and friendly. I ran down because as scared as I was, the excitement was almost greater. I was a pony and that town was Ponyville. I was headed towards the castle when I stopped to look for a moment. All these background ponies weren't background ponies anymore. Maybe I should be counted as one because I'm an alien compared to the ponies here. If they saw my true form who knows what would happen. I was soon outside the door of a very beautiful purple castle. I took a glance in the window, seeing a set of six thrones all sitting around in a circle. Omigoshomigosh. It's... But before I could finish my thoughts entirely, the door to the castle swung open.
The door with a distinct purple aura quietly opened, the golden color of it only shining brighter the more it opened. The noise it made was only slightly louder then the rapid pace of my heartbeat. In the short instant the pony behind the said door finally was revealed I was frozen in place. Unable to reverse my decision.
"Hello there— Oh! Who might you be? Are you new to Ponyville? I usually know everypony here." Her voice was soft, but it had an intelligent sound to it, filled with curiosity and knowledge. With her peering down at me, and her normal cheerful smile was not helping me get through talking and meeting her. It feels like a dream, like it could be just my imagination. I just don't know how it could be so realistic. The breeze in the air, my hair or mane bouncing as it grows stronger. The bright piercing crystallized castle, how the blues and purples fade into one another, oh- so perfectly. There was also flaws, not everything is perfect. It's not just a cartoon anymore.
"Well, um... Princess.. Twilight… Sparkle? I'm Ashlyn. And, well, I have a lot to say. I'm not sure outside the castle would be best." I'm a nervous wreck. I know Twilight I've seen her and the rest of the main six on TV they’re not bad; there about as nice as can be, but my gut keeps telling me this is wrong. It just feels Ohh so very right! Like a flower blooming in spring.
"Ashlyn? That's a very unusual name.” She paused and thought about it. “It's unique. Well, come on in. No need to be shy." Her cheerful smile grew, and her wings widened comforting me and leading me into the spacious castle. Even so...
I walked in nervously, taking in every detail of the beautiful castle. The ceiling stretched way high up, glowing a dark midnight purple, multiple coloured diamond ornaments dangling from it. The pillars that supported the structure were royal colours; purple and rich, rich gold, each one carved to appear like diamonds. The windows were tinted green, the kind of elegant green you’d see on tree branches. The giant chandelier the rest of the mane six made to make Twilight more comfortable in her home. We sat at the round table, with the main six seats set around it perfectly. Spike had small cute one sitting next to what I assumed to be Twilight’s seat. I sat on the floor beside the round table, Twilight opposite of me.
"Well Ashlyn, right?” she asked. I nodded my head quietly. Hardly able to see, as the table is bigger then me. “Good. So, uh, would you like some tea or… something to drink?" Her tone became more akward with the silence that was beginning to apear.
“Um... a glass of water please." I wasn’t sure if they had soda in this world, so I decided to go with a simple answer. Plus I dislike tea.
"So now, Ashlyn. What is it that you need to tell me?"
I took a deep breath. ”I-it’s a lot to take in. You know how you've been to Earth, right? Or, at least, Canterlot High. Well I'm actually a human; I got sucked though my television. A square or rectangular box with moving pictures, or video. Some strange… I dunno… entities — I guess — talked to me, and the next thing I knew, I was here. As a pony. I know a lot about this world because you guys are actually a TV show...." I gave a lot of thought to the words I was saying, trying to pick and choose the words that would make the most sense. That surely was not happening. I could hear Twilights breathing becoming more rapid. After I finished speaking I looked back at Twilight, who looked rather… stunned, for lack of a better word. I can hardly blame her, really. Soon enough her hair started to become staticed and frized.
Her lips slowly started to form words. “Well this is vivid. Definitely a huge problem. If you'll excuse me for a few moments." She charged up her horn, the energy making her mane crackle with electricity while a bright light engulfed her body. Then, as suddenly as the light had appeared it disappeared with a subtle *pop*. I took cover behind a chair, the nearest one at the time being Twilight's. I was behind Twilight's chair for a minute.
Two minutes.
Three minutes.
Huh… Maybe sh—
“Alright, Twilight. Do we need to fight some more evil version of Discord or something? Do you need my awesome flying skills?” Rainbow Dash said. Of course it was Rainbow Dash. She still possessed that proud charisma that she had in the show.
"Sorry girls, this is much more complex then that. I, well… there's a human here." Twilight took a glance at where I was, just when I was starting to peek out. She nodded to me and I stiffly moved to were they gathered. They slowly registered my presence. Pinkie Pie was bouncing up and down, her body registering as a slight pink blur. She was the first to speak, her smile cheeky and wide.
"Wow, you were wrong Twilight! She's a pony, not a human, silly. WAIT!” She stopped jumping and put on a serious face. “How do we know you’re not some filly who's covering for some super agent ponies who stole the human, then used you as a replacement, hmmm?”
I was dumbfounded. I know Pinkie Pie is odd and has very wild assumptions, but this time it couldn’t have been further from the truth. I was about to make a retort when I saw Fluttershy wanting to say something. She was worried and almost looked as if she was trying to hide behind her pink mane.
"I just don't understand, Twilight,” Fluttershy whispered.
“Well, Fluttershy it's a lot to take in. Look, I know you all have important things to do; all of you need to get ready for the upcoming Hearts and Hooves day."
"Twilight dear, it's quite alright. This is much farther up the list of important things for the season. Won't we need the help of a Princess?" Rarity somehow wasn't as worried as the others with this issue. Probably only to keep her composure and to make a nice impression. It was working on me at least.
“Actually, that's a great idea. I planned to, but it must have slipped my mind due to the situation. Okay Spike, can you write this for me?" He nodded confidently and jogged — or, rather, waddled — over to Twilight, pen and scroll in claw.
"So then, dear... Oh my… I never got your name. I'm Rarity. You’re quite… young, right around Sweetie Belle’s age. You’ll probably be asked to join their group… You see here we already have our cutie marks…"
“As a matter of fact, Rarity, I know all about this world or, at least, most of it. You see, you’re all a TV show. It's kind of complicated, but it's like a vision or… insight, but more complex. I've seen a lot of things like Twilight’s coronation. Spike taking care of the animals while you went to the Crystal Empire. Your visit there and the mix up with Miss. Harshwhinny and some of the… err… Crusades enacted by Sweetie Belle and her friends.” I spoke shyly and almost slowly. They all had worried and scared faces. I couldn't bring myself to laugh, but it was amusing. I stopped finding the situation funny once I quickly thought of what I had said, kind of rude if I say so. It was a reaction anyone would've expected. The only pony that wasn’t surprised was Twilight. After they consumed the idea of them being a television show they spoke again. Rainbow Dash started it.
"So let me get this straight… we’re a television show? And you were a human girl, and now you’re stuck here."
“Yes. Except I don't know how I got here, exactly. I'm sorry for all this chaos I may have started… I had no idea this would happen… I just don't know what to do with this situation." I gave the simple reply and tried not to panic but couldn't help frowning and looking off to the side, avoiding eye contact. Applejack was the first to notice.
“Aww, sugarcube, don’t you worry. You'll stay with us until you can get home,” she said.
"Oh my… Thank you. I was afraid I'd be put up for adoption, or experimented on. I mean I still might be eventually… but for now it's better than nothing." I know I'll be questioned. That's something I can't get away from, but I couldn't help but think of all the opportunities that are open. It's like an empty book and a new story starts on every page.
Rarity was next to speak. “Darling, it's no problem; this is very good indeed, if you ask me. You could join the… Cutie Mark Crusaders. It'll be fun. In addition Twilight can learn even more about humans. I’m sure you'll have a nice time in Equestria."
I was surprised at that comment, but it was a swell idea.
"Oh hey, I brought the snacks like you said. So… what's the filly's name?" Spike who had gone off at Twilight’s request to get some nachos had come back with a nice amount of them.
"My name is Ashlyn. I know, it’s a bit odd, but it's not really a pony name." I had thought about this because I hoped to keep my identity a secret.
"Ooh, ooh!” Pinkie Pie piped up. “Spike! You should choose her name! You’re awesome with names. Remember that time when we went into those pranking flowers?” I had to chuckle a bit when Pinkie Pie mentioned that. The episode was very interesting and Zecora was a nice addition to the cast.
“Well… I'm not gonna say I'm not good, but... it was a bit difficult for Twilight's name. Plus, Ash should choose her own name,” Spike replied. I nodded; I liked the nickname Spike had given me.
"Pinkie dear, Spike is correct. It should really be chosen by Ashlyn herself. Although it would be nice for Spikey-wikey to help her,” Rarity commented.
“Well, actually you guys, I think that'll work. If Spike is okay with it." I really wanted to get to know Spike more. Plus he is good with names; I probably wouldn't be very good alone.
“Ashlyn, that sounds like a great idea. Okay Spike. One last thing: I need you to write a letter to the Princess about you-know-what. Girls, go notify your families that we have a new filly joining us and ask if they wouldn't mind if you took care of her. Also, Ashlyn, you don't have to call me ‘Princess’. Just Twilight,” Twilight said. I smiled and nodded my head in reply. She walked out of the room in a way that I had envisioned it: proud and yet calm, with just a hint of authority.
“Okay. Thank you very much, Twilight, all of you ponies, and Spike. Well, Spike, whenever you’re ready I am." This transition will definitely be odd. A human turned pony. Who would've guessed? I certainly couldn't have ever thought something like this would've happened… Then again, Equestria is full of magic.
After Spike wrote the letter, I looked in a mirror to see what I looked like.
My coat was a dark brown, my mane a curly black and red, complimented by a pair of vividly violet eyes. I smiled at my reflection and it smiled back. I liked how my colours had turned out. I turned to Spike and told him a good chunk of what I knew about the human world. How it was different than the movie. While I was talking about this my thoughts drifted into space, wondering if this proved that there were alternate dimensions.
An hour passed and I found my thoughts straying towards home, wondering if my mom misses me or if she’s even noticed that I'm gone.
No… I came here to escape. Kind of. By accident, and non- voluntarily. Either way, not gonna have nostalgia now. Nope.
I finished talking and looked at Spike expectantly, hoping that he may have formulated some decent-sounding name by now. He returned my look quizzically, probably still processing the load of information I had just dumped on him.
“Coming up with names is hard…” I said. “Well, so far I got: Cloud Luck, Thought Thinker, or… Charish." I attempted to flip my curly mane to one side of my head. It didn't work, not well at all; it just went back to place. I knew those names weren't very creative or fitting, but thinking was my thing while being super creative was not. Spike knew exactly what I meant.
"Not to be rude or anything, but those names don’t really…” He made large gesticulations with his short, purple arms. “Suit you. We've got your nicknames though; A and Ash. So I think we need you to have an “A” somewhere in your name.” He thought for a few minutes, mumbling “No… no, not quite” every few seconds until: “Aha! Ashlyn, I believe I have found your name.”
"Scrambled Aura? I suppose it's fitting, but why?" Its a nice name, I must admit that. It seems like it'll work but there's still a hint of fear in the pit of my gut. Looking down, I feel a small cold object on my right shoulder. I slowly look up to the gentle smirking dragon.
"I thought of Scrambled, like how you got scrambled into equestria. As for Aura I get this odd feeling when I'm around you, the way you act." I nod slightly agreeing, to show I agreeded. My fear only grew and it felt like an incect tapping at the ground. Such an uncomfortable feeling. I'm not surprised I give off an odd aura. The good thing is its creative and an original name. I shook my head to get my odd feeling to dissappear. Ponies, dragons, a television show. The unrealistic mixed with reality. I suppose this is a dream but could it just be more? I look at spike. Laying on his scaly back with his long pointed claws under his head.
"Spike, I have a question. (He nods with his eyes still closed, his claws saying to go on...) Is being a pony different, I mean... isn't it odd to live with them. Isn't it akward to adjust?" His eyes open wide and he swifty sits up.
"I don't really get what your saying. I've always lived with ponies."
"I know. You've lived with ponies, that's a big difference. How'd you just accept it." I shook my head before he could speak. I already knew the awnser.
"This is a different situation. You were born and raised here. I was brought here, by someone or something. I just want some of my questions anwsered." I looked down at the purple floor. Me and Spike next to his chair. He looks at me, then our surroundings. In a quiet whisper;
"I have an Idea. Let's look in a book. Twilight owns hundreds, no thousands. I may know a few things about ponies but, I didn't really read as much as I should have." Both of us look down in dissapontment.
"So you think Twilight will be disappointed if you don't know the answers at the top of your head?" I look up trying to cheer him up but his mind was made.
"Think!? I know." With Spike shivering at the idea of Twilight's reaction, that gave me time to look at the Castles library, the walk to it took about ten minutes alone. It was gigantic, two floors. The first floor had about twenty bookshelves alone, all of them a deep midnight blue. The second floor consist of three balconies connecting into one, a lovely shade of lavender. The kind of lavender the moon could make the night sky look. The second floor held more but smaller bookselves. Luckily for me and Spike the book we needed was on the first floor.
"So then, how much information did you get from going to the 'human world?' I mean like do you know the age differences?"
"Actually we don't know. I mean your the first human that's ever been here other then when Twilight and me went through the mirror. I guess by estimation I'd have to say that ponies age a little faster by about three years. Unless it's just that when we go to the human world we become younger. We'll have to ask Twilight when we get the chance. Twilight has a book actually, she wrote it. It's a small journal of her trip to the human world." I'm not surprised, she would do something like that. Spike opened a book with a night time dark leather cover and a tree bark lining. I watch him as he Flips through the pages slowly. The human world, that reminds me.
"Well I do remember watching that movie." My hoof on my chin, I try to recall what happened exactly, I did watch that movie a number of countless times. Well the first and second one.
"Movie? I know we were in a TV show but we had a movie too!?" Spike in shock almost dropped the book, but caught it in a quick move.
"Actually two movies it had a sequel. It's amazing how much I know about this world apart from being an actual pony, the lifestyle of it all." How could that even be possible. Knowing more about something else other then yourself. Even so I bet this is more common them not.
"Well TV shows can't be everything. Hmm, I can tell you pony lifestyle. It's good if you ask me. Apart from a few bad guys now and then it's pretty nice. I don't think it's much different from a human lifestyle. What I can say about being a pony is that every pony life Is different. Once ponies get there Cutie Mark they usually have there Career ready."
"I think that's all I need to know for now although I already new most of it." I slowly shake my head and yawn. I'm tired. My ruby and starless mane, curled in place. My teary dark eyes ready to fall in a moment. As soon as spike finished rambling about facts i already knew. A lovely lavender mare trotted in. The purple dragon with a neon green puff of smoke burped. Spike immediately started reading the letter aloud.
"Dear Princess Twilight Sparkle. As of now the human known as Ashlyn or now as Scrambled Aura. As I've heard from Spike. I'm pleased to know she hopes to learn more about being a pony. This is a great chance to learn much more about humans. We will soon meet. I will be in Ponyville in a few days time. Have a list of questions in mind or on paper ready for me to anwser I will have many of my own. Sincerely Princess Celestia."
"Oh my Spike this is amazing! I can't wait to one meet the Princess of the sun, Celestia. I was excited before but this is the best day of my life. Any questions I may have will be anwsered. So amazing." Just as we were talking the sun was setting, with the green windows the room became a wild odd olivetone. Even so it was beautiful. Slowly out of the corner of my eye a silhouette of an odd shaped pony apeared. As I turned my head it didn't dissappear it just stayed there. I shook my head once more, calming it to be a hallucination of my tired out eyes. "So Aura what are you gonna do now?" "Well Spike, I kind of want to eat a quick something, then I would like to go to sleep for a nice bit. My hooves are killing me. Although ponies don't eat meet do they?" "Well A, your correct their. We eat oats, and hay, fruit and vegetables. I'll let Twilight know your hungry and we'll find you a room to stay in."
After eating a glorious meal, containing of a fresh garden salad accompanied with a maple oatmeal made by Fluttershy who may I say is an amazing cook, was fallowed by a fresh apple pie made by Applejack. I must say it was everything and more. The television show left nothing out about it being amazing, it was like finding a pot of gold or just watching fireworks on the fourth of July, with a blanket around you wrapped up tight. Twilight gave me a present to finish the sweet collation; A journal. A well sized green drab covered book to write my experience in this world. This was my most nervous surprise yet, other then getting here. Now as I write in you like a diary I will use you as a summary of each day. Now to continue dearest journal.
After getting you I was given a room near Spike on the main floor. Oh my is it like an open field, wild in area, and I have the opportunity to choose any style I wish. How could this become better. I knew so many ways to make this worse, but I need to keep the worries in a safe behind my brain. Locked with a key hidden in a well. Surprisingly the mane six all have rooms here. Knowing which room is their by the door showing their cutie mark. My eyes ready for their personal time, are heavy and dropping so goodnight journal. I suppose tomorrow will be upon me soon.
"Hey Aura you should wake up. Everyone's here and we're gonna make a schedule for you!" Ehh... how cheerful can you be in the morning. Although, I've had days like those. My eyes are hardly opening, and my body feels so stiff.
"Ugh, good morning Spike. I'll be down soon I wanna fix my mane first." I used the word mane! Oh my, I guess I am becoming more pony. I'm more surprised at myself then anything. Although... me wanting to do my 'mane' is also surprising, I hardly ever cared when I was a human.
"Ok want me to wait with you? Or I can go downstairs." So kind, I can't help it if I'm giving off odd vibes, but I can show I'm happy by smiling.
"Can you wait please. I don't know this castle very well at all." The truth is the truth. While we waited I descovered the schedule is to decide were I'll be staying at. For the time I'm here... how long will I be here? Forever, until tomorrow?
"Spike what happens if I dissappear by the time the princess gets here?" I slowly put my comb down.
"Well I suppose she doesn't come and stays home, or she talks to Twilight. Either way she'll be here soon, and you don't seem to be leaving any time soon." That also worries me. What if I stay here forever what happens then?
"Well I'm ready. Also Spike would I be going to school here?" School, my least but also moat favorite place. A place I could hide from my small issues at home, and home to get away from the issues at schools.
"Well yeah of course. I don't know if Twilight will teach you or if you'll have a certain tutor. No matter what Twilight's gonna have you in school. The thing is school usually stops at elementary. Kids have there Cutie Marks by the time elementary is over. There are advanced grades that go up to college if you wish to continue to study. Twilight on the other hand won't really give you much of a choice." We laughed and sighed. "Oh I never knew the school system would work like that. There were a few theories on it, but none were truly proven." We continued walking as we reached the point of destination.
The first mare to meet us was Applejack.
"How'dy S.A. good morning. I hope you don't mind the nickname." I shook my head. This felt like a huge honor. While she was nervously smiling, I noticed off in the dark corner near the far back another odd shadow. So odd, that I began to panic moving my hooves in a scared and frantic way. I stoped fast, and decided to leave well enough alone. Nothing but the new surroundings. I looked back at the two confused faces and gave a small fake smile.
"Oh good morning Applejack. I don't mind. It's a nice one if you ask me." I sing-sang the good morning. We giggled and trotted to the opening of their throne room. The next two ponies waiting were Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie.
"Hey Scrambled, AJ, Spike what took so long?" Annoyed and upsidedown Rainbow Dash stoped playing with Pinkie Pie's hair. A bit odd. As I began to speak I was swiftly interrupted by a jumping pink pony.
"Hey guys guess what! I have a surprise for everypony!"
"I wonder what it is Pinkie." Sarcastically but smirking Rainbow Dash hovered over her. That means she knows something we don't. I can hear laughter and a somewhat angry Twilight. The last three ponies were waiting outside the giant crystallized entrance. Flutetrshy, Rarity, and Twilight.
"I told Pinkie not to do this yet. There's no need. Everypony will start to ask questions and the publics not ready for it yet! Oh my..." Worried and hysterical, a paniced Twilight starts pacing back and forth.
"Well Twilight we should've expected it. To late to turn back now." Rarity wearing a fine milk cream dress the lace a blinding silver. The length ending at his flank.
"I'll stay out here you ponies can have fun." Fluttershy hiding behind her mane. As we watched her back away slowly, she hit the wall with a small bumb. Flying quick in th air. She finished with a small embarrassed smirk.
"Uh Twilight? What's going on I thought we were supposed to make a schedule." I have no idea what there talking about. Apart from, well...
"I did too, but Pinkie Pie thought a party on the second day you got here would be a swell idea." Twilight looking at Pinkie with an anoyed face. Pinkie quickly showed her feelings, her ears against her head and a small frown. Rainbow Dash then put her hooves on her head from above and the rest looked at Twilight, in shock. Twilight gave a small frown with remorse and an apology, saying she was stressed about how much was going on. Pinkie quickly then recovered.
"Hey its not my fault. It'll be fun. Party's always are! You'll be fine all of you." Jumping up and down Pinkie bounced around Twilight
"Oh well. It is a Pinkie party, come on Twilight. We should've known something like this would happen, as quoted by Rairity. It shouldn't take all day let's have a little fun. We can plan the schedule later, and to say the truth I think this is really exciting." I smiled slyly and she gave a small smile and nod. This is gonna be awesome.
Smiling because of my excitement about the party, I look at Twilight and she sigh's and returns the small smile.
"I suppose your right Aura, and Rarity. All of you. This is gonna be fun but also dangerous. So only this once. Although I have some rules. If anypony ask's were you come from make it realistic. It's not everyday a little filly without parents or any guardians comes to live in Ponyville. If you add anything to our cover up story tell us imeadietly. Then so on and so forth. Well now it's best we have fun, with all this stress. It'll get our minds off the current situation." Although her being a bit bi-polar as always she is so quick to fixing bad situations. She may be a princess but she still has moments of undecisiveness, and remained her original self, before her magical wings became part of her.
"Oh yea but I can't take full credit for this party. Let me introduce Cheese Sandwich. He came back because tomorrow is heart's and hooves day. By the way he knows just as much as those ponies waiting for you." The last sentence she wispered to me. Everypony watched to make sure Pinkie didn't reveal anything. R.D. still in the air. Then he walked in from the far back ball room.
"Hey everypony I'm back in Ponyville once more! I'm here to help my best pal Pinkie Pie! This party will be amazing." He bounced proud, party is the name of his game, and he and Pinkie are number one.
"Wait are you two each others special someponys?!" This is were I start to freak out. I am a hard core brony as a human and pony. Pinkie and Cheese are my favorite paring. Although the rest of the mane six reactions said other wise. Pinkie started to blush but gave a quick frown and looked up at Rainbow Dash. Rarity and Applejack were chuckling. Flurtershy and Twilight gave an upsetting look at each other. Then there was Rainbow Dash. She quickly then stood next to Pinkie and put a hoof around her, like a guy would to a girl at a movie theater. Cheese just looked like he was having an akward moment. My gut was killing me with remorse, my frown was certainly showing it, why do I always ask such bad questions. Dumb social skills. Then Spike who's been standing next to me put his claw on my shoulder once more to cheer me up, he gave me a nice small smile.
"Wellll... I did date him once, but he was always traveling and I had gotten really upset that's when Rainbow was there to comfort me. So you mean in the show they never said we were together?" She gave a quizzical look at me waiting for a response.
"What show?" Now it was time for Cheese's questionable look.
"Oh a play, back were I was from. You really don't know how popular the elements are over their 'the mane six', is a title we gave them." Trying to cover up the small mistake, definitely difficult to come up with on the spot.
"Intresting, so where you from?" Cheese looked doubtfully at me. I looked at everyone but they just blankly stared back. They're supposed to be the adults...
"Uh..." The mane six stared at me. We weren't even in the party yet and I've gotten a difficult question. Everything was becoming suspicious, because you could see it on his face. At least it was until Spike started to speak.
"Oh, Aura here. She's from an orphanage in the Crystal Empire. You see Princess Celestia was running a program for orphan ponies. Aura here won it. The prize a home in Ponyville, now she's gonna live here with us until we find her a permanent home. She's very well mannered if I were to say so. She is shy, so it takes her time to answer some stuff."
Everyone had a very shocked face. Expecially Twilight. As for me I just smiled and hugged Spike, and wispered a thank you into his ear.
"Wow I couldn't have said it better myself." A few seconds later we were through the doors and at the party. It was wonderious. So many ponies young to old. I with Spike began pointing out every awesome detail and design.
"Wow a banner with your name, in neon colors. The whole color theme is neon colors, she even got Vinyl to DJ. Couldn't expect anything less from the best two party ponies." Spike in awe told me. It was definitely a party. That wasn't all though lights switching to neon pink to neon blue, to neon green, it ended at neon orange. The walls with animations of bright colored clouds. You couldn't even picture what the room had looked like before all the decorations, and coloring. We went on and on. With little interruptions, only from ponies who where saying hello to me and Spike. We hid more in a corner to not be noticed. Deep into our conversation the cutie mark crusaders ran up to me.
"Hey there Spike, and new girl." A playfully rude Scootaloo greated me.
"Scootaloo be polite she has a name. Nice to meet you... I forgot your name." Sweetie Belle then looked at her two friends in a small remorse.
"Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo. This is a party. Her names on the huge banner for petes sake."
The Cmc sure are good at arguing. I looked at there blank flanks I knew what there talents were it was obvious. Scootaloo's was being graceful in dance and on her scooter. Sweetie Belle's was having a lovely singing voice. As for Apple Bloom, it was carpentry, construction, just building in general. As for me.. it was a long shot of a guess, probably being wierd.
"Hey there my name is Scrambled Aura. I'm from the Crystal Empire orphanage." That's what I've been saying to everyone I've met so far. It helps so they ask less questions.
"What! you mean you are adopted too? Cool! My mom and dad are Unicorns. If you want you could meet them there getting punch right now." Spike and the rest of the CMC, are busy talking so me and Scoots are off to find her mysterious parents.
So I guess bronies were a little right that Scootaloo was an orphan. I mean she doesn't live alone, at least not anymore. It's true I soon met her parents. The father was a thin tallish sandy orange stallion with bright lolipop green eyes. His hair is neatly kept a darker green then his eyes but with cotton candy blue mixed in too. He also wore blue glasses to match. His Cutie mark a blue and green lolipop. Her mother is very beautiful her coat a nice shadowy inigo blue, her eyes are a very light yellow, and her mane a gentle violet indigo the colors so perfectly matched, her hair long and curly. Her flank holds the image of three blue swirling waves. If you just looked at them you would asume they were her birth parents.
"Well hello little filly I'm Sweet Strip Scootaloo's dad." He held out A hoof for a friendly shake and I replied with mine. He then fixed his glasses and never dropped his smile.
"Hello dear I'm Scootaloo's mom, my names Gentle Breeze." The Introductions were short but nice. They told me many embarrassing things it was really funny. Such as how when she was in her room trying to jump on her bed to get a jumping flying start. She hit her head against the wall when bouncing and how small her room was to be jumping in it, non the less practice flying. I had left and Scootaloo stayed with her parents as I looked and found Spike with the CMC still talking. I joined in.
A little later Apple Bloom showed me the Apple family. Truthfully they were more out going then in the show, even Big Macintosh but only a little bit.
"How'dy there Scrambled Aura, I'm Granny Smith. I hear your gonna live with us on certain days." Her shaky body was like a normal old woman's, only well... pony form.
"E'yup, it's what I heard too." I smile and reply with a gentle grin.
"What this is the first I heard! We still gotta make you an honorary member of the Cutie Mark Crusaders. We do a bunch of fun, exciting stuff and go on adventures to get our Cutie Marks!" I laugh, of course. Ive almost forgoten.
"Wow that sounds amazing." This is so exciting, I already knew all this and that I'd probably be recruited, but I'm still unsure if I can even get a Cutie Mark. Granny and Big Mac had already walked away, when Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon walked towards us.
"Hey there new girl. I hear alot of people saying your an orphan." A laughing Diamond Tiara looked at the two of us then her associate. Silver finished her statement in turn.
"And that your gonna live with Princess Twilight and the elements of harmony. Being tossed around, like a party balloon." They laughed like it was a bad thing. Diamond then grabbed an orange balloon and tossed It back and forth with Silver until it popped in mid air. I've had it. Apple Bloom was about to talk back when I started too. This would be the last time I talk this bad with anyone, at least I hope so. "Well actually Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon. This is gonna teach me a lot of things. First off it means I'm an actual privileged individual being able to go around and experience things at this age. I'm thankful for it. Second off, I'll be closer to the Princess(es) then you ever will. This is because Twilight is like one of my foster mom's, meaning I have more then one. That equals more caring and support. The fact is Twilight is a Princess so she knows other Princesses, I have connections that I will only use when I need too, not just because they are available to me. Third being tossed around, just means I'm wanted. Although Silver, and Diamond. I hope we can be good friends I see potential in your character. I'll be seeing you around. Although I can't go to elementary school anymore because I'm too advanced so maybe I can tutor you sometime?" I walked away with a grin I made Apple Bloom walk with me it would be weird for her to be standing there with her mouth open. I mean Diamond and Silver already were. I do suppose I was very harsh when I shouldn't have been but I feel they deserve it. Good thing this party is just starting.
Walking with Apple Bloom in an akward silence is giving me a lot of time to think. Before I can even do something to that extent out of the corner of my eye I can see the Cmc walking to us. Wait... did they over hear us? I mean they weren't that far. Oh no, no, no, this is bad. Apple Bloom had finally closed her mouth as we stopped and looked at each other, I can hear an odd noise, they're trying to catch our attention. We both looked up still in shock at what happened, walking and scared. What do I do. No one to comfort me, do I just run away or ignore what happened. I need to do something and fast. I don't want to know what they have to say. I was so harsh. I need to hurry and look at the ground maybe they won't notice me... wait, there not dinosaurs. I fell so ashamed, what if they hate me now?
"So you told off Diamond Tiara?" Being stared down by the orange pegasus I couldn't take it anymore. In one instant I made up my mind. Smiling I look up at the short haired Cmc, as I chuckle the rest join in. I can't believe myself, am I stupid? No, I should be proud. D.T and Silver had done much more horrid things and I said I'd be there friend in the future anyway.
"That was totally amazing! Did Silver look hurt though? I mean I know Diamond certainly was. " Sweetie Belle looks a little bit worried, I put my hoof on her shoulder, she seems to have calmed down slightly. I look at her and nod my head no, to lessen her worries.
"I'm surprised you could do that. You know they're bullies. They LOVE to pick on us cause were blank flanks. I want my cutie mark now but it's been talking us time." Distraught and a bit upset each of them hold out there flanks a little, and look at them. I turn my head to my own, then again looking to them they look at the floor saddened due to the fact it was taking long.
"Yeah Apple Bloom's right. You did a good job there." Looking a bit more cheerful we laugh and smile.
"Wow thanks! I mean I said the truth. I'm good with my thoughts." I'm gonna help them get there Cutie Marks soon. A little push, I'll ask Twilight if that's okay.
The crusaders and me began having a nice time enjoying the party, after the little incident. A quick blinding flash is what caught my attention. Two of them, so quick as if they were bullets. I turn to look right and a grey blur moves quickly, a smaller flash of light and it was gone as quickly as it came. Looking on to my left, I almost jump out of my skin. Close to my face is a light fuschia pony with violet swirling eyes. I look behind her and see Fluttershy with Discord. Discord with his arm around her. I walked up to them, ready with a few questions. The Cmc smile as I walk to them, giggling a little, they turn to leave. Looking for Spike as I had wished to do soon.
"So your the Human Pony I've heard about! Nice to meet you. This is my beautiful Fluttershy, and my adorable daughter Screwball." He roughly shook my hand. Then points at the two ponies. I definitely have a look of surprise. He smiled as he saw it, I then put the pieces together.
"Oh I know everything my dear Fluttershy told me everything and I promise not to tell." He made vivid claw and hoof motions. When he promised he did the Pinkie Promise hoof shake, I laughed worriely.
"Ok thank you?. I'm surprised that you and Fluttershy are together though. Although may I ask about Screwball?" Trying to be true and not hurtful. Screwball! Finally real information about this background pony.
"Oh me and Discord may have had a few falling outs, but he's just so nice and adorable. He tries his hardest to be his best, and has improved greatly. I don't even mind Topsy Turvy she's a kind and we'll mannered step daughter. I hope when and if me and Discord have a child it's this well mannered." Looking kind she looks up at her special somepony, caring eyes. She has deep emotions for him.
"Thank you dear, couldn't have said it better myself. As for little Screwball, she was made. With caos magic and a little boredom. I took a small stroll one day through a wonderfully wild forest, and ended up conjuring her. She is quite amazing." Laughing almost evilly, he slyly pats his said daughter on the head.
"Fluttershy is a nice step mother. She's really great, so helpful and kind. She calls me by my real name rather then my nickname, and I only let special ponies do that. Discords a good daddy too, he does whatever he can to do his best and improve me too. He and Step- Mother care for one another a lot." I smiled Screwball may be slow at moments but after a while she seems to process things much better. She also sounds proper, that's the nicest surprise so far.
"Well Fluttershy, I hope he remains such a gentlemen. It's nice to meet the two of you, see you around." I smile and trot away. Looking at beautiful decorations, and for Spike, a passing Screwball runs past me in a bit of a rush. Only left with a flowing sorry. It seems she is looking for somepony. As I walk again a pretty pink pony trots past with a hurried look on her mussel and a small gust of wind as her excuse. Is she looking for somepony too? I move up wards on a nice little balcony made of almost transparent lavender crystal. I watch as Diamond looks for her lost treasure. I mean it has to be some type of important treasure, why else would she do so much to find it. An suddenly an very odd pairing catches my sight. A laughing and hugging Silver Spoon and Sweetie Belle. Sweetie Belle giving her adorable smile and Silver with a real sincere one. I saw as Diamond quickly found her lost treasure. It's name Screwball, and or Topsy Turvy. It was adorable because I knew what it ment. Two adorable couples. What else could I ask for from this wonderful party..
