> A Single Wish > by Stricking Ink > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Chapter 1 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It was the day after Twilight's coronation as the new ruler of Equestria. Applejack was named the head of Sweet Apple Arcs by Granny Smith, Rainbow Dash was offered Spitfire's teaching job as Spitfire is considering retiring early to spend more time with her marefriend, Fluttershy is no longer content with living in her cottage so she plans on moving in with her own special someone Discord, Pinkie Pie is helping on running Sugar Cube Corner now while also frequently visiting Cheese Sandwich. What about Rarity? She didn't know herself. After the coronation she couldn't help, but feel like something was missing from her life. So at the moment, she's just sitting in her room trying to work on a dress, but recently she's been in a stump. She's just levitating the needle looking at the dress in a sad way. She didn't even snap out of it, when the door was slammed open. "Rarity, I'm here!!" Sweetie Belle screams before looking at her older sister only to see the sad sight in front of her, "ah... Rarity?" Instead of getting a reply, Rarity just hums in some type of way to say she knows Sweetie is here. Sweetie Belle walks up to her sister and taps her, "Rarity? Are you okay?" That's when Rarity snaps out of it. "I'm fine, Sweetie Belle. Have you eaten yet?" Sweetie Belle rubs her chin, "well no, but I'm more worried about-" "Then I'll go make something for us to eat. I'm quite hungry myself," Rarity cuts Sweetie Belle off before running out to the kitchen leaving Sweetie Belle there. "Rarity?" - Sweetie Belle walks down to the kitchen only to see Rarity slowly and carefully cooking something. "Rarity," Sweetie Belle says, "what are you doing?" "Why I'm cooking of course," Rarity replies with a smile without turning. Sweetie Belle walks up to her, "no, I mean, what are you doing with your life? It seems like all of your friends has someone or something to care about, what about you? Yes you have your boutiques, but what else?" Rarity smirks, "don't you forget about Fancy Pants." Sweetie Belle rolls her eyes, "how could I forget about your perfect coltfriend, but he has officially moved here from Canterlot yet, you're basically alone here. I know you don't want to talk about it, but is it possible you're not happy with Fancy Pants, and that you're jealous of your friends." Rarity smirks falls into a frown before shaking it off and she smiles again, "don't you worry your pretty little head, Sweetie Belle, I'm just fine." Sweetie Belle looks at her big sister a little longer before smiling herself, "okay if you say so." "Then let's eat!" - After eating then sun had gone down, and Rarity and Sweetie Belle were looking up at the stars. Sweetie Belle ended up yawning and Rarity smiles at her, "maybe we should get you to bed." Sweetie Belle shakes her head, "not yet. Miss Cheerlie said a shooting star is going to show up tonight." Rarity shakes her head, "okay, but only a little bit longer." They sit there for a couple more minutes before a shooting star comes into view. "There it is!" Sweetie Belle exclaimed, "hurry make a wish." Sweetie Belle shut her eyes tight while Rarity scared by at the star. 'I wish my missing piece would find it's way to me.' Sweetie Belle opens her eyes before looking at Rarity, "okay, now I'm ready to go to bed." Rarity smiles before they get up and walk back inside. - In the Everfree Forest something had hit the ground and it was smoking and just laying there until a hoof reached out of it. A young pegasus filly pulls herself out of it. She has a snowy pale fur with an ice blue mane and tail, her are silver like the moon. Her cutie mark, an ice blizzard. She looks around not recognizing her surroundings, and making her scared. "Mommy?" she asks out hoping for a reply, but nothing, "Mommy?!!" She starts running as she looks for something, anything to help find out where she was so she could find her way back home. Running around did not help, she just end up tripping and falling down a cliff causing her to get hurt, and to cry out. "What is that a hear, a filly out here." She looks up to see a zebra. "What is wrong little one?" the zebra asks, "what is it you have done." She backs away shaking. "No need to be afraid, your fear I can dismayed. Come with me, pain is with you, may I help you?" She gets up and allows the zebra to lend her to what she can only guess to be here the zebra lives. "how rude of me, " the zebra says, "my name is Zecora truly be. So dear filly, you are you really." She looks at her before, "Frosty Blizzard miss. I was separated from my mom." Zecora looks sad at the young filly, "a tragic tale you have, one that is very sad," Zecora then smiles, "but one that can only add." Frosty looks confused, "I don't understand." Zecora stops when she is right in front of the door of her hut, "to understand what is to come, we must look at the sum," she then opens her door to let Frosty in. Frosty walks in and goes over to the pot. Zecora walks over there as well, "may I read your future? All that is set in stone, all that you own." Frosty nods her head. Zecora looks into the pot as she starts sturring it, "you come from a far away land, nothing like where you now stand. A caring mother you truly have, a father you losing in this very land. Soon to meet a loving mare, one that will make you her heir. Winds are hard and strong, but nothing good can last long. Not only a tragic past, but a tragic future to come to pass. The love to feel towards this mare, will give you more the just dispair. A love for a mother, a love for a daughter, truly greater to one another. Yes this is true, but be aware, something bad is in the air." Frosty start to shiver, "what do you mean something bad in the air?" Zecora smiles, "do not frent, do not weep, but time for sleep." Zecora puts her to bed, but turning around to frown, "poor child, poor what has to come. Dear moon, dear princess, find a tune. Help this lost little fish, to find her way to her true wish."
