> The Ultima Universe > by Polaris Solarmoon > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Chapter 1 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 1 Twilight Sparkle was busy with yet another spell, this one being the Universe swap spell that Glitter Brightstar taught her a few months ago. "If I can get this universe swap spell right, this will open up a whole new window in the realm of possibilities!"Twilight says happily. "I don't know Twilight, that spell seems dangerous." Spike says with worry. "Oh come on Spike, I'll be fine, I mean what's the worst thing that could happen."Twilight said. "Alright if you say so, I'll be over here." Spike says before running over to a different part of the room. Twilight then proceeds to change up the spell. "Okay Spike, here I go!" Twilight says as she casts the spell. Twilight then disappears in a bright flash of purple light. "Oh boy... I hope she'll be alright." Spike says to himself.. Twilight Sparkle eventually reappears, but not within her castle's library. ("Hmm, I wonder where I ended up.") Twilight thought to herself as she looked around. She notices that she is in the Golden Oaks Library, but the books are different then the ones that she had within her castle. "This place brings back memories..." Twilight mutters to herself as she started to walk around the library. She eventually makes it downstairs and finds something surprising,Applejack reading a book on advanced mathematics. "Applejack?" Twilight says in confusion. "Applejack" turned around and noticed Twilight staring at her and said "Hello there dearie, my name is Golden Apple,and I can tell that your not Eclipse, so what is your name? " "My name is Twilight Sparkle." Twilight said. "Oh! That is a marvelous name miss Twilight, say what is it that you do?" Golden Apple said. "Oh,me? Nothing much, other then being the Princess of Friendship." Twilight said. "That sounds pretty cool, say do you want to see the rest of my friends?" Golden Apple says as she puts away a book that was on the ground. "Sure, I would love to meet them." Twilight says cheerfully. "Alright then,follow me." Golden Apple says before leaving the library. ("I hope her friends will like me..") Twilight thought to herself as she follows behind Golden Apple As the two mares walked around Ponyville, Twilight couldn't help but feel that something was off. " Golden?" Twilight said. "Yes dearie?" Golden Apple said. "Did the Sonic Rainboom ever happen here?" Twilight asked her. "What is a Sonic Rainboom?" Golden Apple says as they pass by an apple stand. "You don't know what that is!?" Twilight says in utter shock. "No dearie, I do not, such an event has never happened." Golden Apple said. ("Ok,so the Rainboom did not happen in this world, that's good to know.") Twilight thought to herself. "Miss Twilight look out!"Golden Apple said right as Twilight was about to bump into another pony,but unfortunately the warning didn't come in time. "Oof, sorry about." Twilight says sheepishly after bumping into the pony. "Oh no, I'm sorry miss, I-i wasn't looking where I was going." the pony says in a rather quiet voice. ("This voice is this Fluttershy? No, it sounds like more like Rainbow Dash.") Twilight thought to herself. "Excuse me but what is your name?, because you look like a friend of mine." Twilight said. "Oh, I'm Prism Dream, I'm Whisper Wind's first friend." Prism Dream said. "Who's Whisper Wind?" Twilight asks, she eventually gets her answer from a pegasus that was nearby. "Whose askin'? Because we ain't got no time to waste with an egghead." the pegasus said. She had looked like Fluttershy, but her mane was a darker pink and it was messy, it even covered her left eye,Twilight noticed that she had earrings and that her cutie mark is an eagle. "F-fluttershy!? What happened to you!?" Twilight says in utter shock once more. "Fluttershy" suddenly breaks out in laughter. "What so funny?" Twilight says in confusion. "Heh, you are Princess. The name's Whisper Wind not Fluttershy." Whisper Wind said. "Please forgive Whisper Wind, she isn't as kind as Prism Dream." Golden Apple said. "That's okay,it's been awhile since anypony has called me Princess." Twilight said. "Whisper how did you know that Twilight was a Princess?" Prism Dream said. "A mares has her ways, come on "Pris" lets get outta here." Whisper Wind says as she takes off, Prism Dream following shortly after. "Those two are really unique aren't they, come lets us go to Sugarcube Corner." Golden Apple said. The two mares then went on their way to the bakery. ("This world is really interesting, I wonder what else is in store?") Twilight thought to herself. "Golden?" Twilight said. "Yes, miss Twilight? Is something borthering you?" Golden Apple said. "No, not really. Can I ask you something?" Twilight said. "Of course, what is it?" Golden Apple said. "Are you the student of Princess Celestia here?" Twilight said. "No dearie, I'm not. Although I did get in to her school,I did not become her student. My friend Whisper Wind did." Golden Apple said. "Oh, that's really interesting." Twilight said. "It is isn't it, Whisper Wind is a very unique mare,despite her flaws, she's always been around when we needed her the most." Golden Apple said. "Wow she really deserves her Element of Loyalty,doesn't she?" Twilight said. "You mean the Element of Bravery correct?" Golden Apple said. "Oh right, sorry wrong world..." Twilight said. "That's okay Twilight, at least now you know for your next visit." Golden Apple cheerfully said. "Wait you know that I'm not from this world?" Twilight says in shock. "Why of course I do, it's plainly obvious that you're from not here, For example, you're an Alicorn." Golden Apple said. "Oh okay, so what now?" Twilight asks her. "Now...*stomach growls* We get something to eat." Golden Apple says as the two mares eventually make to Sugarcube Corner and walk inside. "Whoa, this Sugarcube Corner is much bigger than the one I'm used to." Twilight says as she looks around in awe. "Well it has to be, this place gets a lot of customers." Golden Apple said. The two then walk up to the counter where a purple colored pony was busy making a cake. " Hello there Eclipse Shine, I would like to introduce you to somepony." Golden Apple said. "In second daire Golden, Ah'm almost finished with this 'ere cake O' mine." Eclipse Shine said in her usual contry accent. "Alright then we'll wait, come Twilight,let us go sit at one of the tables." Golden Apple says. " 'Old on daire partner, did ya jus' say Twilight?" Eclipse Shine said. "Yes I did Eclipse, is something wrong?" Golden Apple said. "Can ah see 'er?" Eclipse Shine said. "Of course, Twilight say hello to my friend Eclipse Shine." Golden Apple said. "Uh... Hello." Twilight said. "Howdy," Eclipse Shine said. "So uhh, what do you do here?" Twilight says. "Ah help run this here bakery, ah used ta be a student at the school fer gifted ponies but ah couldn't hatch that darn dragon egg. Ah didn't give up, though, an' finally was able to hatch it,but the dragon that had came out of it died just a few weeks after it was born..." Eclipse Shine said. "Oh no, so does that explain why you left." Twilight asks her. "Yeah, pretty much, thanks fer listenin' Twi, y'all are a good friend ya know that?" Eclipse Shine said. Next thing either mare knew a monotonous voice had butted into their conversation by saying " Can you move please, I wish to meet my friend." Twilight turned around and noticed that a pink earth pony mare was waiting in line after her, Twilight also noticed that she lacked a cutie mark and her mane was both curly and flat, she knew only one pony that shared the mares colors, Pinkie Pie. "P-Pinkie?" Twilight said. "Remina." the mare says in a monotonous voice. "What?" Twilight said. "My name is Remina Pie." Remina said. "Oh... Uh, Sorry." Twilight said. "That is alright..." Remina said. "Miss Twilight, I do believe we should get going, we're holding up the line." Golden Apple said. "Oh right,sorry..." Twilight says as she moves to the side. " Hold on daire, aren't y'all gonna get anythin' ?" Eclipse Shine says. "Oh uh, I'll have a vanilla cupcake please" Twilight said. "I'll have one as well." Golden Apple said. "Alright how about you Remina?" Eclipse Shine asks. "I only came for some bread..." Remina Pie says in a monotonous voice. "Uh, okay then comin' right up!" Eclipse Shine says before walking into the kitchen. After the they had their food, Twilight and Golden Apple left the bakery and started to head back to the library. Unfortunately they were stopped by a rather hyper mare that looked as if she were in a hurry. "Rarity?" Twilight says as the mare suddenly gives her a balloon. "Hi, I'm Rare Value! Nice to meet you." Rare says happily . "Nice to meet you too, I'm Twilight Sparkle." Twilight said. "Oooo, that's a really nice name!" Rare Value says in an excited manner. "Thank you." Twilight says. "Miss Twilight your horn!" Golden Apple said. "Huh? What about it?" Twilight says. "It's glowing!" Rare Value says in awe. "What!?" Twilight says in shock. Sure enough, Twilight's horn was glowing signaling that her time in this world was up. "I guess this is goodbye huh?" Twilight says. "It seems so miss Twilight." Golden Apple said. "I'll miss you!" Rare Value said. "I miss you too,goodbye..." Twilight says as she disappears in a flash of light. "Goodbye Twilight, I hope we meet again." Golden Apple mutters to herself as she heads back to the library by her lonesome. "Twilight?" Twilight are you alright?" "Ugh, Spike?" Twilight says as she wakes up. "Twilight! You're okay, you were out for a while there!" Spike said. "Was I? Oh Spike I've had one of the strangest adventures." Twilight said. "Do you want to tell the others?" Spike asked. "Yeah, I think everypony should know." Twilight said. And ends yet another adventure, however this isn't the end, there is only one story left until the Grand Finale... [The end]
