> (NEW TITLE: STOLEN WILL) Will You Ever Be Mine: Just Went Up to A New Stage (Re-write in progress) > by zodia > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Chapter 1: A new Beginning > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- CHAPTER 1 A brand new day, a new step in life, your high school days are over and it's time for you to tackle college, you and your friends decided to still go to Canterlot high that is now called Canterlot University since two new building has been placed one for college and one for elementary. All of you never thought that Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna are secretly planning to turn the School into a University, you and Rainbow decided that you will always go to school together so both of you agreed that you will meet at the SugarCube Corner as your meeting spot every morning. As your walking towards the sugar cube corner you saw Rainbow sitting on one of the tables, having an ice cream... this early morning "Hi... your early" you said, with a soft smile. When Rainbow looked at you she smiled blushed "Hey good morning... want to have some ice cream first since we still have an hour before the bell rings" said Rainbow, with a soft and calming voice that you never thought that she had it in her. You agreed since maybe it's not so bad having an ice cream early in the morning despite that you just brushed your teeth earlier, and while you two are chatting a familiar face sat in front of you two, someone that is you're not pleased to see. When you and Rainbow noticed her she immediately smirked "Hello old pal... it's been a while" said Agua Lazuline, followed by an intimidating look. Rainbow pulled your sleeve gently "Do you know her?" asked Rainbow, with a worried face and tone of voice. You looked at Rainbow and sigh, then you looked at Lazuline again "Rainbow this is Agua Lazuline a rich girl that has some screw loose" you said. Agua giggled a little then she looked at Rainbow "Huh... so you're the girlfriend funny I never thought that a guy like will ever have such a cute lady" said Agua Lazuline, followed by another giggle then she just left like nothing happened. You looked at Rainbow and she looks pissed "That girl... has a vibe that I don't like" said Rainbow, you pat Rainbow in the back nervously. And after you finished your ice creams both of you went to Canterlot University since just 15 more minutes that class will start and lucky enough look's like you and your friends are at the same class as you and Rainbow. And after you both sitted your teacher arrived along with one new addition to the class. You got shocked when you saw Hearty Fan entered the door and as he walked across the front of the class some of the girls are fangirling already despite seeing him for the first time. Hearty Fan gave a soft smile to all of you "Hi my name is Hearty Fan and I am one of the founders of this new building, and I hope that I can count on all of you to take care of our beautiful new campus" said Hearty Fan, and for some reason that way he said it is so elegant. And after Hearty Fan introduced himself he sat beside Twilight and it looks like those has a thing going on, that class was going smoothly but you can't help but to notice that some girls are glaring at Twilight maybe it's because Hearty Fan sat right beside her. And a couple of hours later all of you was just about to leave the classroom when your teacher suddenly stopped all of you and made you sit back on your sits "Okay so before you go to lunch I just wanna say that we have two new Students here at Canterlot University, well first was Hearty Fan you already met him this morning and his Classmate... and the second one is at Section A her name was Agua Lazuline and Im expecting all of you to give her a good impression" said the teacher. Lazuline here could this day get any more surprising, and it looks like Rainbow has the same reaction, and after saying some more stuff your teacher dismissed all of you and gave your class a bit more time for lunch since he occupied a few minutes. You sigh as your walking with your friends "I can't believe that woman chose this school" You said, Hearty Fan pat you in the back. Hearty Fan looks curious about what happened "Is she someone to be worried about?" asked Hearty Fan. You looked at Hearty Fan and nodded "Well she's one of the worst people I ever met... first she's a manipulator second a total faker... and third with her charm she can manipulate a whole campus and since I'm the only one who's not falling for her schemes she's always onto me, well at least when I was a first-year" you said. Rainbow held your hand "Let's just hope that she won't bother us" said Rainbow. Then all of you noticed Zack and it looks like he's thinking about something "Hey Zack... you look so serious" said Sunset, while tapping Zack in the back. Zack sigh "It's nothing I just remembered who Lazuline is, her parents are one of the most richest people here at Equestria" said Zack. Well, you knew that she was rich but you didn't know that she's one of the richest "Hey I never got to asked but just how rich are you?" you asked. Zack sigh "Im third the Lazuline's are second and Filthy is first" said Zack, so he's the third richest person here at Equestria that explains a lot, and when you got to the cafeteria you saw Lazuline surrounded by men and women and looks like they are amazed by her beauty. You facepalmed "There she is again... what is she planning now" you said, Rainbow pulled you on one of the tables and hinting you that you should just forget about her. And after you get your food at the counter you went back to your table "It's kinda noisy here huh" said Hearty Fan, while munching on some pizza. Twilight stretched her arms since she looks tired "Oh man... I really should stop staying up too late" said Twilight. Fluttershy looked worried "What time did you sleep last night anyway?" asked Fluttershy Twilight nervously laughed "Two am... L O L" said Twilight, followed by a nervously giggle. Hearty sigh "Your working on that A.I are you?" said Hearty Fan, followed by a smile. Zack smiled "Let's just hope that A.I doesn't start hunting someone named Shara Romer" said Zack. Why does that sound familiar... for some reason and while all of you are having a chat Agua Lazuline just joined into your conversation without saying anything. Rainbow gave Lazuline a sharp look "What are you doing here Lazuline" said Rainbow Dash. Lazuline let out an intimidating giggle "Nothing just joining in the fun... like old time's isn't it Rush" said Lazuline. Zack ahems "Lazuline isn't it... so what the deal with you" said Zack, while giving a soft glare to Lazuline, but she didn't answer and she just left again like nothing happened. "She has a vibe I don't like" said Zack, then he just munches on his chips casually. It looks like Lazuline will be a problem for your college life popping in every time she wanted to "That gal is something I tell you that just looked at those boy's over there they cant stop staring at her" said AppleJack. Zack smiled "Not every guy looked at Flash... looks like he's still waiting for a certain Twilight to appear man he's really determined to wait until they Intertwined again" said Zack. You heard his Story Flash sentry fall in love with the pony version of Twilight, and their path only meet at the time of crisis you felt really bad for him. You looked at Zack "Hey Zack what will happen if I encounter my counterpart on pony world?" you asked. Zack sigh looks like he knows what you up to "Nothing... the only thing that can cause a crisis is messing with timelines if you travel through dimension with the opposite nature and laws that can cause a fracture to that timeline and ours and it will slowly drift towards each other causing extinction on both worlds but the bright side is those worlds will merge and create new laws that will give new future and it will create another branch of timelines" said Zack. You scratched your head "So are we the original or our dimension is just a branch that is connected to the original?" you asked. Zack sigh "That's I cannot answer since I have no clue... but I do have a feeling that we are just a branch of it" said Zack. "BORIIIIIING.... enough with the nerd stuff let's talk about something fun" said Rainbow, then she pulled out her phone. She opened her phone and smiled and presented her screen to all of you "Just look at this there will be a talent show next week and the prices are awesome" said Rainbow. AppleJack smiled and it looks like she's into it "I heard of it and it will surely help our acres" said AppleJack. Pinkie Pie jumpout of excitement "If we win i will throw a big a party... well even we lose I'm still going throw a party for trying are best" said Pinkie Pie. Zack borrowed Rainbows phone since looks like he has no idea about it "So it's a televised competition... are you serious?" said Zack, you forgot that he doesn't like to perform that match. Sunset pat Zack in the back "It'll be fine plus it'll help all of us a lot" said Sunset. Zack sigh and smiled "Welp i hope you dont chicken cause the completion will be held on the biggest stage on earth" said Zack. Fluttershy got excited "Are you saying we will perform in the International stadium that is created on an artificial Island" said Fluttershy, and you know the reason why Fluttershy got all excited is because of the exotic animals that started appearing in the artificial island. "Well we have a lot of time to practice since the completion will start 4 months from now the problem is the fee to enter the competition its expensive" you said. Then all of you looked at Zack "*Sigh* fine... ill pay for the fee but to we will be going there by boat since its cheaper than a plane" said Zack. Rainbow giggled "Despite you being rich you prefer cheap things" said Rainbow. Zack smiled "Well i like to keep things simple but fun" said Zack. And after the school hours are over You and Rainbow decided to go back in Sugar cube corner to have a little snack, and while you two are having some ice cream you noticed Flash entered the door and he almost looks get doesn't have anylife in his eyes. "Man he really missis Princess Twilight huh?" said Rainbow. "There's really nothing we can do about it... unless" you said, then you looked at Rainbow. Rainbow sigh "I dont think a good idea even if they can co-exist" said Rainbow. And while you two are talking Agua Lazuline appeared again "Lazuline do you mind" you said. Lazuline giggled "Oh sorry to Bug you dont worry I'm not here too mess with you at least for now" said Lazuline then she just went out. Rainbow Scratch her head "Wow *sigh* everywhere we go she always appeared" said Rainbow, then she just continue eating her ice cream. And a couple of minutes later you saw your entered the shop, and it looks like she has some groceries so you and Rainbow approached her. You hugged your mom "Hey mom... what are you doing here?" you asked. Your mom smiled "Oh i was going to buy you some cake but it looks like you have already eaten" said by your mom. "Hi Rushe's mom its been a while" said Rainbow. "Hi dear you really should stop by our house from time to time... oh i know why dont you join us for dinner tonight" said by your mom. You agreed to the idea but you have one question though "Umm mom... why did you buy so many stuff i mean it might not fit are fridge" you said. Your mom sigh "Well when i got home from work at lunchtime i just saw are kitchen filled with green goo and are fridge was a mess the food is stinky so i called in your father to help me clean" said your mom. Green goo why on earth there would be some green goo on your kitchen, and after having a little bit more conversation you, Rainbow, and your mom decided to make dinner together and maybe tomorrow morning you'll ask Zack or Sunset if they know anything about some mysterious green goo that your mom showed you on her phone. And when you got home Rainbow and Your mom immediately putting out the fruits, meats, and vegetables out of the shopping, and then you start putting them in their places, and while you're doing that, Rainbow and you mom started cooking Rainbow is peeling potatoes, and your mother started cleaning the fishes. And for some reason, you have a feeling that your mother is preparing Rainbow for a certain future with you. > Chapter 2: A Random and weird Day > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- CHAPTER 2 Seven o'clock in the morning the class hasn't started yet, So you went into the cafeteria since that's where Zack mostly hangs out every day, and luckily he is there just munching on some chips like always. And she's with AppleJack you kinda wondered what they are talking about, so you approached them and as you get closer you can hear them talking about some kind of a Rainbow Festival. You sat right in front of them "Hey I heard you two are talking about some kind of a Rainbow Festival" you said. Applejack smiled as she looked at you "Well it'll be held in Hope Hollow and Mayor Sunny Skies actually asked for our help to set up the event" said AppleJack, with obvious excitement. Zack giggled "Looks like your really looking forward to meeting up with Torque huh" said Zack. AppleJack giggled nervously "Well yeah Torque too... but mostly him... " said AppleJack, while daydreaming and kissing the air for some reason but you get the idea why she's doing that, You looked at Zack and you two just laughed. Applejack snapped out of it "Huh... what's funny?" asked Applejack. Zack smirked "Nothing it's just someone is kissing the air" said Zack, followed by a giggle. Applejack realizes it and starts blushing deeply, she covered her face out of embarrassment, you completely forgot about the goo and you asked more details about the Rainbow Festival. And after you three discussed about what your going to do to help set up the festival you proceed to go to your classroom and start the day. 12 o'clock You and your friends went to the cafeteria as usual and this day is kinda quiet for you since Lazuline is nowhere to be found but you didn't really care since at least you can bet some peace and quite away from her. Applejack stretches "All this problem solvin is giving me a headache" said Applejack. Rainbow Dash sigh "Yeah where are we gonna need math anyway" said Rainbow, as she munch her burger. And since your table is full of meat Zack and Sunset is in another table a little far away from the rest of you, looks like they cant really stand it but you gotta eat protein. You sigh "I feel bad everytime we eat meat I mean having two ponies on are family is a bit hard" you said. Hearty Fan pat you in the back "We cant really force them to get used to this immediately" said Hearty Fan. Rarity stand up and it looks like she's going to say something "Oh i know how about for the next 5 days lets eat what they eat" said Rarity, with a big smile on her face. Rainbow's eye's widen "Are you serious... i mean there eating Raw vegetables well Zack eat chips on the side line and some ketchup but do you know how starchy a raw potatoes is" said Applejack. You hold Rainbow's hands "Gee... they don't eat it raw... there boiling it then there just munching on it with some salt" you said. Rainbow just got shivers "But still the taste of pickle is so disgusting" said Rainbow, all of you agreed except for Applejack since she enjoy's eating them while Apple Bucking. Then a couple hours later its time for you and your friends to go home but all of you decided to just stay out for a little and just take breather in the community park that is just a couple block away from your school. The sky was bright orange with a hint of red its one of the most beautiful sunset you've ever seen and speaking of beautiful you looked at Rainbow and it seems like she's enjoying the cold breeze winter is coming. Twilight jump out of excitement "Ouu i cant wait for winter... cause we could all go ice skating" said Twilight. Sunset smiled "Heh... i do remember the first time we skate Zack can't stop falling down" said Sunset, then she laughed. Zack smirked "Say's the one who purposely slip her self just for me to catch" said Zack, Sunset smiled and just lean against him. Then Rainbow also lean against you and hold you hand "Rush... do you think we will always be like this you know this happy and peaceful together" whispered Rainbow, softly. You hold her cheeks and kissed her in front of all of your friends "Ru... Rush your embarrassing me" said Rainbow, while covering her face. Rarity giggled "Oh dear this is one of the feminist side Rainbow ever shown to us" said Rarity. You decided to stay at Rainbow's house for a while since your parents are out of town for somekind of business trip and Rainbow is very excited about the idea you staying in her for a while you kinda wondered why. And while you were cooking you heard a noise in the living room so you went to check it out, and when you got there no one's there and Rainbow is still upstairs taking a bath, you want to go check on her but even though your his boyfriend it's felt a bit inappropriate so you just waited for her to get down. And when she got down you saw something that is very something... is that really rainbow wearing a pink tank top and a short that is way to short. Rainbow is obviously embarrassed "What... Rarity said that you might like it... I'm gonna go change since this is... I'm not comfortable with this" said Rainbow, then she rushed upstairs. You gulped and your blushing hard "God damn she's hot" you whispered, then a couple minutes later she went down again wearing a t-shirt and a tight short well at least its better that last time. And while you two are eating you cant get out it in your head seeing her wearing something kinda inviting... you don't even know what your thinking anymore. "Hey... Rush are you okay" said Rainbow Dash, while looking at you romanticly she slightly biting her lips and she keeps making contact on you. You cleared your throat "Umm your soup is getting cold" you said, you felt that something is very odd about this she would never do something like that is she... it's just way to kinky and sexualy its almost giving you some shivers. As you were eating you noticed that there are some bugs around, and you started feeling nauseous and just like that you black out, and tomorrow morning you woke up and Rainbow right beside you, you stared at her for a while trying to remember what the hell happened last night. Rainbow woke up "Rush... what just happened last night?" she asked. You also went up and sitted on the bed "I have no idea as far I know you were acting weird last night biting your lips and making eye contact with me with a word I don't even wanna use" You said. Rainbow looks confused "What i don't remember that... wait I think I just remember what happened to me when I got change I felt nauseous and just black out here" said Rainbow. When you heard that you two rushed downstairs and you saw the kitchen is filled with the exact same goo just like the one that is in your house that day. Rainbow gulped "Something is definitely going on here" said Rainbow, while holding your hand. You hold her closer "Well today is Sunday we could ask for help to clean all of this and we might also start investigating what the heck is this" You said. "Well who ever this burgler that just stole whats on my fridge he or she should call her self slime butthole since this slime like eww" said Rainbow, welp she's right about thing this slime smells like poop, so without hesitation you called all of your friends to help you and Rainbow to clean up all of this slime or goo. > Chapter 3: Rainbow Trouble > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- CHAPTER 3 It's been quite a ride removing those stains 3 days ago since that goo smelled so bad that some of the furniture has to be thrown out, so you and Rainbow decided to buy some new silverware and a few table cloths just in case it happened again. Rainbow sigh as he picks up new spoons and forks "I can't believe that stupid goo melted all of them how is that possible it didn't melt our hands" said Rainbow. You pat Rainbow in the back "It's fine plus we have a huge discount Zack gave a lot of coupons" you said. Rainbow got shocked when you showed the coupons "Where did he get this coupon?..." asked Rainbow, you didn't really answer since you have no idea where did he get this. And while you and Rainbow are waiting for your turn to pay for all the things you bought Rainbow phone rings. Then a few minutes later Rainbow got back "Sorry... woolykins I have to go to my parent's house tonight granny visited and she wants to see me let's just watch the movie tomorrow" said Rainbow, then she kissed you on the cheeks and she ran with her super speed. Your eyes widen since why would she use her ability in public not to mention your in a mall, and for some reason people around you are so casual about it. Lazuline just giggled right beside "Wow... you two are so cute huh..." said Lazuline, why giving you somewhat of a sharp look. You sigh "What do you want Lazuline?" you asked, then you move a little since the line is moving. Lazuline put her arm around you "So after you paid for this wanna hang?... " said Lazuline, while smirking. You felt kinda creep out "Why would you want to hang out with me?" You asked. And after you paid for what you bought you just went along with Lazuline cause, it looks like she needs someone to hang with since despite being popular in your school she's just alone, well she doesn't really socialize much maybe that's the reason she always alone. "Hey Lazuline is there a reason why you invited me to hang with you?" you asked. Lazuline face smile just turned upside down and what with her teary eye "Well nothing I guess I just needed someone to hang with... and you're the first one that came into my mind... don't get the wrong idea" said Lazuline, then she hit your stomach with her shoulder. You hold your stomach out of pain "Why would you do that?" you said, and she giggled. "That's for making say such thing... " said Lazuline, such thing what she even talking about then she sat down and you sat down with her. Lazuline sigh "Look I guess one of the reasons why I invited you to hang out with me is that I just wanna hang with you second in the cafeteria I heard you and your friends talking about some kind of nasty goo" said Lazuline, then she showed you a container with the same goo you saw in the kitchen. You scratched your head "Did the goo also appeared in your kitchen?" you asked. She nodded "Whoever or whatever leaving this goo behind after taking everything inside our fridges I think we should catch it" said Lazuline. You got a little shocked at what she suggested "What... catch it we don't even know what kind of person or creature we are looking for" you said. Lazuline giggled "Well not yet at least... after finding this stinky goo on my kitchen I brought a sample to my family's personal laboratory and we found out that this thing is organic" said Lazuline. "Organic... so this thing came out of a creature?" you said while scratching your head. "Possibly... and I think I might just found a place where we can get the answer" said Lazuline, then she giggled creepily and it looks like her plan is gonna get you in big trouble. You sigh "And I'm assuming that it might get us in trouble" you said while scratching your head and she just started laughing like a total maniac. "Don't worry I rented a whole antique library" said Lazuline, while smirking you sigh and just agreed to come with her. But before you two go to the said library you went to Rainbows house to drop the silverware's and funitures that both of you bought. And while you're organizing the furniture and Silverware's Lazuline is just standing there watching you do all the work. And when you got finished, Lazuline was no longer where to be seen but she left a note that has the address of the said library and besides that, the note also said that she got bored of watching you do your girlfriend's job like a total henchman. You sigh out of annoyance "That little prick... *sigh* if I'm not only interested in that stupid goo I would have just left her at the mall" you said, then you just walked towards the nearest bus stop. And when you got to the antique library Lazuline was waiting for you at the front chewing on some bubble gum "You're late" said Lazuline, while blowing her gum. You approached her "You didn't really say something about getting here in time or whatever" you said. She chuckled "I know I just always wanted to say that... now next on my list is get to the chopper" said Lazuline, then she giggled and you thought she might a huge geek or something. Then both of you just went inside the library and just start looking for clues and answers if there any. But while your two are reading old books you hear a loud noise just behind the next shelf "WHO'S THERE... how did you get in here rented this whole place" said Lazuline, then a couple of seconds later the one who's making the noise revealed her self. Your eyes widen and scratch your head out of confusion "Rainbow... what are you doing here I thought you went to your parent's house?" you asked. Rainbow laughed a little nervously "Oh-ho yeah I... we got done early and grandma is very lovely" said Rainbow, followed by another laughed nervously. "So ahem anyway what are you two... doing here?" asked Rainbow. Lazuline smirked "Where dating... " said Lazuline, while giving Rainbow a sharp look. Rainbow smiled "Oh really that is very nice... hehe" said Rainbow, then she slowly back away and left. You got nervous "Why would say that?" you asked, and Lazuline is just there staring at Rainbow leaving. Lazuline sigh "There's something off about her... I just can't put finger on it" said Lazuline, now that she mention it Rainbow won't believe Lazuline immediately or maybe she's just playing along you can't really tell much cause of how casually she reacts about it. But to be sure you followed Rainbow, Lazuline tried to stop you but you didn't listen Rainbow to you is more important than a stupid smelly goo "Dash wait up... " you said, as you catch your breath. You hold Rainbos shoulders "Look what she said back there wasn't true she's just messing with you" You said. Rainbow look's confused "What are you talking about also perfect timing I want you to meet my Mom and Dad" said Rainbow. When you look up you saw his father looking down at you with a menacing face "So you're the boyfriend" said Hothoof. You gulped and you nervously giggled "Umm hello... you must be her dad...*gulp*" you said. Then suddenly Rainbow's mother pulled Hothoof's ears "Stop that you're scaring him" said Windy Whistles. Rainbow clinged on you and kissed you on the cheek "Don't worry you'll get along just fine... I hope" said Rainbow, You looked back and you saw Lazuline hinting to you that just go and go with them. You smiled at her and say thank you without any sound, and for some reason, she just gave you a finger while blushing then she just went inside the library again. Windy Whistles approached you and held your hand "Hey why don't you come with us for dinner tonight?" asked Windy Whistles. You smiled and just focus looking on Rainbow's mom since Hothoof is just giving you a terrifying look "Oh... umm I'm free tonight anyways sure... I would love to have dinner with you" You said, Rainbow jumped out of happiness and hugged you. You noticed that Windy is giving Hothoof a sweet smile but why is he sweating so much "Is your father okay?" you asked, Rainbow looked at her parents. Rainbow just smiled "don't worry his fine is just mom has her way to calm dad down" said Rainbow, followed by a giggle. You didnt really get it but you just went along with it, and then all of you went to their house to have some dinner the sun has fully set and good thing your parents are still out of town or else they'll be checking on you none stop. You and Hothoof are waiting at the living while Rainbow and Windy cook and prepare dinner. You felt very unease on the way Hothoof looked at you "Umm... sir can you pls stop staring at me like that I'm starting to uncomfortable" you said. Hothoof smiled "Good... maybe you should leave then" said Hothoof, little did he know that Windy was behind holding a frying pan. Windy gave you a caring look and smile then Hothoof noticed her and he looked back the sweet smile and look disappear and it was replaced by a managing look and smile to Hothoof "Hi... Dear... is the food ready" said Hothoof, while shaking and sweating. Then Rainbow entered the room "Come here sweety i prepared something special for you" said Rainbow with a soft tone of voice, you just casually stand up and went to her, and the moment you and Rainbow sat on the table you heard a ding in the living room. And then a few seconds later Hothoof and Windy entered the kitchen and boy Hothoof has a bump on his forehead. "Dad are you okay?" asked Rainbow. "Yes I'm fine I just slipped" said Hothoof then he glared at you, but only for a seconds since Windy was there. You sigh "This is a bad idea I'm sorry for bothering I'll just take my leave, since looks like m unwelcome anyways" you said. Rainbow stopped you by holding your hand "Dad can you just at least give at chance to know him better" said Rainbow, while giving her Dad with a teary eye. Hothoof just burst into crying and hugged both you and Rainbow "Oh-ho-ho... i just cant believe that my little girl has grown so much and even got her self a boyfriend wuahahahaaaa....*sniff* OKAY! for your you I will try my best... on not burying him alive" said Hothoof. Rainbow pouted "Dad seriously!?" said Rainbow, You and Windy looked at each other and just laughed, and just like that the air changed at least all of you are enjoying the dinner You and Hothoof even drinked together although look's like Hothoof can only take one shot he got drunk immediately. You and Rainbow and her family had fun all night that you didn't notice the time look's like you'll be late tomorrow on school not to mention Rainbow sometimes show's a specific side in her personality when she's drunk welp you better get you a coffin or just hope that Hothoof won't find out. Tomorrow morning You woke up on Rainbow's bed, and Rainbow was at her computer and it looks like she's chatting with someone and when you approached her you saw that she was chatting with Sunset about that today school would be canceled since its raining cats and dogs because of a typhoon. You scratched your head "A typhoon huh... but yesterday was sunny and there was no news about any storm" you said. You and Rainbow looked outside and it is really raining hard "Well I guess your stay with us will e extended..." said Rainbow. You two hugged each other then suddenly you felt like there is someone behind your back, you felt chills down your spine since Rainbow was only in her underwear when you turned around, you saw Hothoof and Windy Whistles, and it looks like Hothoof is not happy about this... but suddenly windy dragged him and closed the door. You gulped "Im in big trouble with you dad..." you said. Rainbow kissed you in the cheeks and laughed nervously "Well I guess we better get downstairs after I put on some clothes" said Rainbow, then you gulped and accept your faith. > Chapter 4: double date wait tripple? > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 4 You woke up Saturday morning since your phone won't stop ringing so you pick it up to see who keeps calling you and when you saw who keeps calling you, you got shocked and answers it immediately. You gulped as you felt a chill down your spine" hey... Rainbow... Umm sorry, I just woke up... Are you mad?" You asked you heard her took a deep breath, and it looks like she might be mad. Rainbow sighs " A little... Do you know how long I've been calling you..." said Rainbow Dash, you looked at your alarm clock and it's not even 8 am yet, since you always wake up at 8 am every Saturday and Sunday. You got off from the bed and walked towards the bathroom to brush your teeth" So why did you call anyways did something come up?" You asked, then you heard something on the phone that is like Rainbow punched something. Rainbow took a deep breath" Rush do you know what day it is?" Said Rainbow with a clear grumpy voice. You gulped and you rushed towards your calendar to see what day it is and at that point, you remembered that you and Rainbow have a date today" Hehe of course I know what day it is we have a date today" You said nervously. You know you can't see her right now but you have a feeling that she's making a disappointed face "sorry... I completely forgot and overslept" You said. You heard her sigh "Just hurry up... I'm looking forward to this Ya know" said Rainbow then she hangs up, you put the phone down and rushed getting ready that you forgot to at least eat something before you go. And when you got outside you immediately tried to remember where the meet-up is, you think really hard then it got you, you two were supposed to meet up in front of the sugar cube corner. You immediately took the first bus into the city while you're on the bus you can't stop thinking about what she is doing right now since you promised her something then forgot about it the worst thing is you can't remember when you did make her a promise but you ignored it since it's more important that you get there immediately. And when you got there you saw her just standing there waiting for you she even has tears in her eyes you approached and holds her hands" Sorry Rainbow I don't know why I forgot but I promise it won't happen again" you said. Rainbow hugged you "It's okay since your here... So do you have any plans?" Rainbow asked. You gave her a soft smile "Well let's do things that you want to do with me" You said. She blushed deeply "Umm... Well... let's see umm how about we go... Umm... Oh I know I heard that there are a few new attractions at the community park we should go there" said Rainbow. And when you got there your stomach suddenly growls, Rainbow looked at you and smiled then she reached out on her handbag and gave you a lunchbox. Rainbow smiled" I made it for you... I hope that you like it" said Rainbow, you felt a little unease since you know how bad she cooks the last she cooked the kitchen almost got caught in fire, but you got surprised when you opened the lunchbox... You drooled since it's smelled good as it looks. But the big question, is it as good as you think right now, you took a bite and you got surprised it tasted really good. You looked at Rainbow "Rainbow this is incredible I never knew that you improved this well so much" You said. Rainbow Dash pout "What is that supposed to mean" said Rainbow, then you heard that her stomach also growled. You smiled and took a spoon full and you made her take a bite "Whoah it does really taste good" said Rainbow, look's like she also surprised herself, you looked at each other and just laughed. Then a couple minutes while you were taking a walk you saw Twilight and HeartyFan standing on a line of churros, you approach them then they immediately noticed you two. Twilight and Rainbow hugged each other "Hey you two so are you guys also here for the new rides?" Twilight asked Rainbow giggled "Yes we also do... Well since we have the same plan why not make it a double date" said Rainbow, you smiled and agreed to her decision since she looks very excited about her suggestion. After HeartyFan and Twilight bought some churros they meet up with by the bakery booth "Hey so which ride are we gonna go first?" asked HeartyFan, Twilight smirked and looked at you then she looked at Rainbow. Twilight giggled "How about we go to the new attraction called cliff jump" said Twilight, cliff jump why does that sound so extreme you think that it might be not what you think it is since there's no any cliff nearby. But when you got there it looks like your hunch was right it is extreme and a bit overkill, you noticed that Rainbow immediately started shaking but Twilight looks very excited Hearty , in the second-hand looks like that he's just gonna go for it. While you four are waiting in line you heard a familiar voice when all of looked up you saw Sunset and Zack ready to jump. Sunset looks very excited but Zack looks like he doesn't even care that the only thing that's gonna keep him alive is a rope and long garter. And when they jumped they were straight falling down for a while then started bouncing around and nevermind Zack looks like his gonna be sick really sick. And when they went down Zack just started puking in the side, and Sunset is patting her in the back "geez Zack back in Equestria you can fly without getting sick" said Sunset. Zack looked at her with a neutral face "Thats different flying and falling is fine but bouncing around in mid-air is not one of them *puke*" said Zack, you guys approach them. Hearty chuckled "Hey Zack are you okay?" asked HeartyFan. Zack smiled "A little despite puking breakfast this morning" said Zack, is it really that bad you think that you just had more reason not to go riding that thing. Sunset hugged Twilight and Rainbow "So are you two also gonna jump off this thing?" asked Sunset, Rainbow nervously nodded yes and Twilight just said yes excitingly. And when it's time You and HeartyFan took a deep breath and smiled since looks like this too is gonna go first together "YEAH... Let's go jump Rainbow" said Twilight. Rainbow giggled nervously "yeeeeahh hooray..." Said Rainbow while sweating and shaking. HeartyFan pat you in the back "You know I have a feeling that Rainbow actually might like this ride" said HeartyFan, it looks like that he noticed that your more nervous than Rainbow Dash right now. You sigh "Well I don't wanna jinx it but I hope that rope doesn't break" you said. Zack also pat you in the back "don't worry you will jump with them" said Zack, Then you two noticed that you already wearing the protective gear and since when did you wear this, then he just suddenly pushed you two. "ZAAAAACK IM GONNA KILL YOU" you shouted, then you looked at Rainbow, HeartyFan and Twilight looks like there having fun despite falling and bouncing around in mid air. And after you got down from the harness Rainbow pat you in the back "It's okay not everyone can handle it" asid Rainbow, while smirking. You sigh "Says the one who's leg's won't stop shaking" you said, then she began to blush and covers her face. Sunset can't help it but to laugh "Oh my God... *laughs* Rainbow your feminine side really is starting to come out" said Sunset. Twilight giggles "Gee Rush what did you do to her" said Twilight in a joking way. HeartyFan approached you and help you to get up on you feet "Careful now okay... Don't force it" saidd HeartyFan, then you looked at Zack. "Zack did you use your magic to put those harnesses on our body" you said. Zack looks confused "No I didn't you put them your self both of you" said Zack, that's weird since you don't remember putting it on or maybe your head was just on the clouds or... His just stalling you. As the day goes on your date with Rainbow turns into a triple date but you had fun, all of you stayed at the theme park till night time since there's so much to see new that surely you'll go again tommorow to finally try them all with Rainbow and your friends. > Chapter 5: Night Out > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 5 Sunday morning you received a text message from Rainbow Dash telling you that she and the girls will go on a trip that is only for them like a girls night and since you free today you went out to see Zack and HeartyFan since they always hang out at the mall sometimes on their free time. As your walking around you saw HeartyFan at the men's clothes wear so you approach him to greet him " Hey HeartyFan what are you doing?" you asked. HeartyFan smiled "We'll I was thinking to get some more clothes... Since the other day me and Twilight we're doing on some experimentation on my back yard and let's just say things didn't go well" said HeartyFan. You scratched your head you just assumed that there might some kind of explosion happened cause of the charcoal stains on his gray shirt "anyway have you seen Zack... Since I was thinking that the three of us could do our own night out" You said. HeartyFan looked around "We'll he was just on that bench a couple minutes ago... Maybe he just went to the bathroom I'm sure he'll be glad to do our own night out since they may not be back for a couple of days" said HeartyFan. A couple of days she never mentioned that on her texts "A couple of days... But how about school?" You asked. Then all of sudden Zack just appeared right beside you "They'll be fine... Plus we don't have school this week since the school will held an event for teachers only" said Zack. You stared at him for a couple of seconds "Dont do that you might give me a heart attack" You said, and he just laughed a little while munching on some chips. Zack smiled " So the night out... Wanna go to the country side I know a beautiful beach there" said Zack. You smiled but with confusion "Country side but what are we gonna ride?" You asked. HeartyFan raise his arm "Well we could use Zack's army if Zack's up for the idea of using it" said HeartyFan. Zack laughed nervously "Well I would use the arvy but Sunset borrowed it for their night out but I could always buy one" said Zack. You sigh "Gee you don't have to buy a new rv just for our night" You said, then the moment you blinked Zack is already calling someone. Zack smiled at you "Ah yeah hello I'm Yuzuru Zackodia and I would like to rent one of your best RV pls" said Zack. You smiled " Or you can just rent one" you said, then HeartyFan just laughed. "Looks like we will be having our own night out after" said HeartyFan, then he pulled out a map out of his backpack. You got confused "Do you always carry a map with you?" You asked. HeartyFan giggled "We'll you see Twily and I always go out and venture to a forest, high mountains, caves, etc to see if we can discover new things" said HeartyFan. That explains a lot why Twilight always looks exhausted most of the time "You two are surely very adventurous, so did you find anything interesting on your trips?" You asked. HeartyFan sigh "We'll we did found some remains... Of a pony that is may have live thousands of years ago since that, it had wings and some of the remains have horns and... A skeleton of an alicorn that is still standing while its wings still spread out... *Sigh* and it looks like it's guarding an artifact and when we called Zack in and when he saw it... He said that is something we shouldn't have seen since I believe that humans and ponies once co-exist and then a war happened well judging by some human remains we found on the same cave... But Zack already sealed the cave so we can't go back there anymore" said HeartyFan. Zack puts his hand on your shoulder "Humans won the war but they lost the battle... And I believe that this night out of ours could be the best thing will happen because we will find more of those... When I found out that humans and ponies once co-exist thousands of year's ago then I learned that a war broke out between our species i believe that we should go on a treasure hunt we will collect all of the artifacts that are in different places that I already map out" said Zack. You're intrigued but you have one question "Zack what are we gonna do after we collect those artifacts?" You asked. Zack smiled "Simple I will bring them back to Equestria" said Zack, you and HeartyFan smiled since your night out will be more interesting and more fun than your other friends. HeartyFan sigh with worried "But are we really not going to tell the others I mean only us and Twilight knows about it" Said HeartyFan. Zack also let out a sigh "We'll tell them afterward since I was planning to take you guys with me back in Equestria just in case" said Zack. Did he just say that he will take both you and HeartyFan back in Equestria just in case?... Just in case for what "Just in case for what exactly?" You asked. Zack smiled "Just in case an artifact start choosing an owner you'll see when we got to that point" said Zack, then he just told you guys to follow since the RV is already here... At the mall why?. When all three of you got outside you saw the RV and it looks like from that tv show called chen 8, which is very cool. You smiled "I wonder how many beds is on that thing" you said. When you got on the RV it wasn't what you expected the inside is like a compact house despite being compact the gaps are very wide actually. Zack smiled "This bad boy has 1 bed and a bunk bed perfect for three person but the sofa right there can also be turned into a bed perfect also perfect for three" said Zack. Well an adventure awaits you and since it's still Sunday that means you'll be on the road for 7 days it doesn't sound so bad since everything you need is already in this vehicle... Your thinking is it possible that you, HeartyFan, and Zack bump into Rainbow and the others since there also ln the road. When you sat down the RV started moving "Hey HeartyFan is Zack the one who's driving?" You asked. HeartyFan giggled "Ofcourse who else could be driving if the two of us are right here but we will take turns since Zack can't drive all the time since we're sharing the same vehicle" said HeartyFan. You just pray that HeartyFan and Zack will teach you how to drive since you never drived before, but since his driving you asked HeartyFan something about Zack. You gulped "Hey Hearty I always wondered how did Zack and Sunset meet?" You asked. HeartyFan just smiled "Well it would be better if you just asked him, but I guess I could tell you this one thing... When they met each other and for the first time when Sunset is still a total meanie his the only one who's actually talking back to her and annoying her most of the time well thats what he told me" said HeartyFan. Oh man you thought you can actually finally found out but he stopped at that very moment and just started making snacks... But surely you'll find out more things about Zack and Hearty since you three will be stuck together for 7 days and your looking forward on your adventures. > Chapter 6: Valley of the Damn Part 1 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 6 Sunday Night same day midnight you still getting used to sleeping outdoors since You, HeartyFan and Zack are in the middle of nowhere so rounded by tall grass and large trees, when you look around the window the moon was really bright you can almost see everything. You went outside to walk for a while since you can't really sleep and maybe a walk can help to tire you out, when you got outside the RV a really cold breeze pass through "It's quite cold tonight hug!" You said. You looked up and you saw the moon and it's quite big and bright the stars are shining all around the sky "I wish Rainbow could see this right now but knowing her... She's probably asleep by now" you said. You sat on the grass and lay down and took a breath of fresh air then you didn't notice that you fell asleep... When you woke up you saw Zack sitting right next to you looks like he puts a blanket on you while you were asleep "Rise and shine sleepy head... Or grass head" said Zack while taking a sip of his coffee. You touched your hair and it looks like there is some grass on your hair "So how long you've been there?" You asked while removing some grass on your hair. He yawns "About an hour go I always woke up at 5 am so yeah it's now 6 I already made some breakfast if you wanna eat" said Zack. You smiled and pat him in the back and then you went back inside the RV the moment you got inside you smelled some delicious toasted bread and some fresh homemade strawberry jam you saw Hearty Fan having a cup of tea while reading a book. Hearty Fan noticed and gave you a soft smile "Morning I can't believe that you actually slept outside" said Hearty Fan, you smiled and sat in front of him. You took a piece of bread then you spread some strawberry jam and took a bite "Well I couldn't sleep last night then I decided to take some fresh air last night I didn't notice I fell asleep" you said. Then you heard a familiar laugh "It's because your an animal that's why your more comfortable outside" said Lazuline, you got shocked when you saw her. You looked at Hearty Fan "When did she get here?" You asked, Lazuline took your bread then she just went outside. Hearty Fan giggled "We'll she showed a couple of minutes ago her car broke down while she was driving that car over there" said Hearty Fan then he pointed Lazuline car. You sigh "Huh I see... So did she already called a mechanic?" You asked. Hearty Fan shook his head "No not really since I offered that I will fix it for her after I ate my breakfast" said Hearty Fan. You just took another piece of bread and just had some breakfast while, you were eating your phone rings and when you look who it is you answered it immediately "Hey good morning Rush... Did I woke you up?" Asked Rainbow, you smiled. You stand up and went out side "No no I'm actually already awake" you said, you heard her sigh out of relief. Rainbow cleared her throat "Hey umm... I miss you... So how's everything there back in town?" Asked Rainbow. You suddenly got nervous since your not even close "Umm well everythings good actually" you said, then you suddenly heard Sunset on the phone. "Come on Rainbow we don't want to be late for are concert" said Sunset, concert there having a concert. You got confused "Umm... Concert... What is she talking about?" You asked. You heard Rainbow gulped "Well yesterday we got a call from an agency that they want us to play for a charity so we accept it... I wish you could join us" said Rainbow. You smiled "No it's okay just go ahead enjoy your girls out" you said, you maybe can't see her but you know she's smiling. "I love you babe I'll see you soon..." Said Rainbow, then she hang up. You sigh "looks like there having tons of fun" you said, Zack pat you in the back. Zack smiled "You know... We will reach the Glimmer city in the next hour of driving who knows maybe that's where they are" said Zack. You raised eyebrow "Why do I have a feeling that you know that, that's where they are" you said. Zack giggled "To be honest for once I have no clue who do you think I am a puppet master" said Zack. You sigh "Puppet master your not making any sense... I think you should have gone for who do you think I am god since he can see everything ya know" you said. Zack smiled "Huh... Noted well I'll just get the toolbox so that Hearty can finally start fixing up Lazuline's car" said Zack. As Zack went back inside the RV, Lazuline starts walking towards you, you felt nervous since she might just start annoying again "Hey can I ask you something?" Asked Lazuline. You gulped since she looks serious "oh what is it?" You asked. She smiled "So can I... Take Zack place since he's going to Crystal prep and all" said Lazuline. You scratch you head "His going to Crystal Prep for what?" You asked. Then Zack suddenly pops in and pat you in the back "Thats because there will be a charity for the children of an orphanage I founded so I have to be there too bad though when all us just getting together for an adventure a collection of OC's as secondary characters except you your the protagonist" said Zack, then he just drop the toolbox and head to thee nearest bus stop. You sigh "What the heck is he talking about" you said. Lazuline also looked confused "I have no idea and plus you being a protagonist your the most secondary character there is" said Lazuline, then she just started cracking up. Then Hearty Fan just took the toolbox and pat you in the back "So where stuck with Lazuline now huh" you said. Then Lazuline put her arm around you "Come on it'll be fun you and me and Hearty we will have some extreme fun" said Lazuline, while making a smug face. You sigh "could this day get any worse" you said. Then an hour later Hearty Fan was finally done fixing up Lazulines car. Lazuline smiled "Wow Hearty you got it fixed that incredible" said Lazuline. Hearty smiled "We'll I know a thing or two about cars" said Hearty Fan, Then all of sudden a helicopter showed up and picks up Lazulines car and just flew away. Your jaw drop "What the heck just happened?" You said. Lazuline puts her arm around you again "Well if I'm tagging along with you I could just stay in the RV with you guys" said Lazuline. Hearty let out a sigh and looked at Lazuline "You know me fixing it is very unnecessary if your going to tag along with us" said Hearty Fan, and he sounded very disappointed. You noticed that Lazuline is shaking a bit "Well you know... He he ill just go inside" said Lazuline, then she just went back inside the RV again. You gulped "Man remind me not to mess with you" you said. But Hearty Looks confused "What I'm not doing anything" said Hearty Fan, looks like he didn't know that he just intimidated Lazuline just now. Hearty Yawns "Anyways lets go to the Glimmer City so we could do a little resupply since our trip is still quite a long way" said Hearty Fan. Then you two just went back inside the RV and Hearty Fan just went into the driver sit, so that all three of you can finally get to your destination. While you guys are on your way to the city, you noticed that Lazuline was taking nap right in front of you she looks very peaceful the sun is shining on her face and it just shows her beauty even more, her pink tender lips, her beautiful white skin and her long black hair... Wait what the heck are you thinking you just looked around and took a book to entertain yourself a bit. After reading for a while you decided to step away from the table since that where lazuline is, and you just went to the front sit and sat beside Hearty Fan. Hearty looks at you "Your being distracted by something are you?" Asked Hearty Fan. You gulped "I guess so" you said, then he just giggled. Then he just pat you in the back "If Rainbow saw you on how you just looked at sleeping Lazuline back there your gonna be in big trouble" said Hearty Fan. Hearty Fan pointed at the front mirror "But to be honest I can't really blame you on how you just looked at her just now, she is quite a beauty after all" said Hearty Fan. You smiled "Beautiful but a total pain in the ass" you said, you looked back to see if she still asleep but when you saw her she's already awake and looking in the window with bright red face and she pouting got some reason. Hearty Fan laughed a little "Looks like she overheard you" said Hearty Fan. Then a couple hours later you finally reached Glimmer City you and your friends drop your jaw on how beautiful the city was, You parked on a public parking lot and walk around the city. While you two are walking around a girl in a beautiful outfit approached all three of you "You three must be Zackodia talking about since he sent me your pictures so we'll know what you look like" said the girl. Lazuline start looking all smug "And you are?..." Said Lazuline. The girl smiled "Oh sorry I'm Starlight Glimmer the Mayor of this city Zack told me that you three will need a place to stay in he already arrange a special pent house for the three of you" said Starlight Glimmer. Hearty scratch his head "Zack never ceases to impress me with his advance plan that we never know existed *sigh*" said Hearty Fan. When all four of you got to the pent house you saw two people sitting on the couch "Alright here we are also this two lovely people here and I will assist you to your mission on collecting the artifacts" Said Starlight Glimmer. Wait... What is this some kind of a mission impossible sh*** "Okay I'm starting to get confused now" you said. Then one of the person that is standing in the room approached you "So sorry dear Zack sometimes just likes surprising people... I'm Pear Butter by the way and that over there is Bright Mac my husband" said Pear Butter. Hearty Fan gasp "Wait does that mean you two are Apple Jacks parents?" Said Hearty Fan. You had the same reaction as Hearty Fan "Okay seriously what is going on here?" You asked. Starlight sigh "I guess Zack never went to the other details like he always do that little piece of radish okay I think it's finally time for you three to know what is exactly going on here" said Starlight Glimmer. [Starlight telling the story] A few months ago our magic radar detected some disturbance on one of the ancient structure's built in this planet and when we went there to see what was going on one of the magical artifact was gone. Stolen from the one of the statue and now creatures that has an ability to change there form is now roaming around in this City so we develop a device that can reveal once true self and now we need your help to find it. You scratch your head "I'm sorry how could we possibly help you?" You asked. Lazuline stood up "This is stupid and crazy how on earth the three of us could possibly do" said Lazuline. Pear Butter giggled "We'll how about we say that we have three magical artifacts right here that has chosen the three of you to be there owner" said Pear Butter. Bright Mac pat you in the back "We know its Crazy but we have to send you to the valley of damn to retrieve it only the one who has magical abilities can enter that place" Said Bright Mac. > Chapter 6: Valley of the Damn part 2 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 6 All three of you still can't believe that you three have been chosen by three magical artifacts "So we've been chosen by this things what ever this things are" you said. As you three eat your dinner Pear Butter entered the room "May I join you?" Said Pear Butter, for some reason her voice was very calming. Lazuline stood up and offered her a sit "Here you can sit here" said Lazuline, Pear Butter smiled and sat. "I know that everything is very confusing right now but you have to understand that we also have no clue why the have chosen you" said Pear Butter. Hearty Fan sigh "Umm miss Pear Butter can we know what is exactly your job is?" Asked Hearty Fan. Pear Butter took a sip of her tea "Well to be honest with you we never supposed to be here in this world I mean to be honest we already pass on" said Pear Butter. Your eyes widen "What do you mean pass on" you asked, as you looked at her closely you can see that there is some kind of a symbol on Pear Butters neck. Pear Butter smiled softly "Me and my husband was pulled from the afterlife and we don't know why... But we believe that stolen artifact has something to do with this the longer we stay the more faster are soul disintegrate and this Symbol Zack gave us are the only once that keeping us from fading but in return it's sucking his life force away that's why you have to get it back fast" said Pear Butter. Lazuline smacked the table with her fist "Then what if we didn't make it time?" Said Lazuline. Pear Butter started having tears on her eyes "We will come back to life but Zack will die" said Pear Butter. Hearty Fan took a deep sigh "Zackodia what the hell are you thinking" said Hearty Fan, with a worried but angry tone of voice. Pear Butter held your hand "Pls get it fast before it's to late two days that's all the time you have if you didn't make it by midnight of the second day Zack will die it's not his time yet" said Pear Butter. You sigh "I promise we will get it back but can I just ask... Umm since your down here what do you think of visiting them " you said. Pear Butter eyes widen "Thats... I wish we could but... I believe we can't I mean where really not supposed to be alive again" said Pear Butter as she cries. Lazuline smack you in the head "Seriously you brought that up you dumb ass" said Lazuline. Then you heard a familiar laugh "Why not I mean I'm sure that she will appreciate that I mean the hotel that Apple Jack's in with the rest of our friends are just that building overthere" said Zack. Hearty Fan stood up walks towards him and punched him in the face "I guess I deserve that he he" said Zack. Hearty Fan took a deep breath "How come didn't you told us everything from the start" said Hearty Fan. Zack sigh "We'll first it's not the big of a deal since we only have to get that artifact then figure out why there soul has been pulled out from their body that is stock right somewhere at the mountain of the Griffin mountain just a few miles from the the valley of the damn" said Zack. Pear Butter stood up the moment she heard that their soul has just been pulled out from their bodies "Wait pulled out but me and my husband died of a disease that is unkwon to mankind and it's still incurable today" said Pear Butter. Zack let out a sigh again "Look you and your husband never died but you were stolen and gave you those memories that never existed... I don't know what it is but that is why we to get that artifact back to at least get some answers or so" said Zack. You scratch your head as you got even more confuse "Then your saying that whatever it is that keeping their bodies somewhere it's affecting a lot of people Apple Jack, Apple Bloom, Granny Smith and Big Mac they believed that Pear butter and Bright Mac are gone..." You said, but before you get to finished Lazuline interfered. "I know what I'm gonna hear next what ever is in that Artifact will give us the answer so why don't we just go now and get it all this drama is killing me" said Lazuline, then she just left. Zack giggled "That is actually what I'm gonna say" said Zack, then he gets up and just went to the kitchen you and Hearty followed him and you saw him coughing blood. You and Hearty Gasp "Hey you okay?" You asked. Hearty Fan rub Zack back "I think you should rest here you look really pail" said Hearty Fan. Zack giggled "Then what let you all do the work hell Nah... But I could really use some rest Hearty I... *Yawn* put some notes on what spell you should use to open the magical doors that is sealing it from our world I'm sure you'll figure it your smar..." Said Zack but just before he got to finish his sentence he passed out. Hearty Fan carried him "We need to hurry up if we want him to survive" said Hearty Fan. You nodded and you went to the parking lot and you saw Lazuline waiting for you just outside the RV "What took you so long I'm freezing" said Lazuline. You smiled "We'll no one really tells you to ran off and wait here" you said, for some reason she didn't get mad ingact she smiled. You opened the RV and she immediately went inside and went at the driver sit "So your driving?" You asked. Lazuline looked at you gently seriously what up with her "Well why not RV is just like a car but bigger" said Lazuline. You smiled a little bit "Sure whatever you say Agua" you said, after you saying her first name she blushed deeply and then she looked away and just drove back to the pent house to pick up Hearty Fan. When you two arrived at the pent house you saw Hearty Fan just waiting outside "Huh judging by those equipments looks like where gonna do some climbing" you said. When Hearty Fan got into the RV he sigh "We seriously need to hurry Zacks Heart is slowing down bit by bit... His also starting to fade" said Hearty Fan, the moment Agua heard what Hearty Fan said she immediately drove away. You and Hearty Fan fell down on floor of the RV "Laziline careful" you said. Agua sigh "We have to hurry... He can't die yet not now" said Agua, almost seems like she knows something that you and Hearty Fan don't know. An hour and half later you and your friends reached the valley of the damn and after seeing the place you already know what the place is called that kind of name just beyond the road is a town in between two hills and the hill is connected by bridge that looks really old. After getting of the RV you and your friends went straight to the town and it's a ghost town theres no sign of any life "Man this place is spooky not to mention it stinks literally" said Agua, but as you get closer to the middle of the town the somell keeps getting stronger. Hearty Fan coughed "Just hang in there just a few more miles will be in the west cliff which is where the metal door is" said Hearty Fan. But all of you suddenly stopped since you felt like someone is following you all of you looked around but you saw no one "Something is extremely off in this place" you said, then suddenly someone dragged you from the foot, you screamed Agua and Hearty tried to chase you but the off got thicker and thicker then all of sudden you felt like you've been drugged and felt sleepy. When you woke up your hands were strapped and your legs are chained you realized that your upside down, you looked around and it looks like your in a cellar "Where the hell am I?" You said. As you struggle to free your self you heard someone banging on the door "Wh... Who's there?" You said, then it suddenly stopped and it opened you saw a creature walking right towards you. It went by the lever and pulled it down then you fell down it crawled towards you fast and for some reason it freed you as you get a closer look the thing that help you is "Agua what the hell are you wearing?" You asked. Agua covered your mouth "Shh... It might here us... Did you know that I've been looking for you for 5 days now" said Agua. Wait you've been asleep for 5 days "Wait where Hearty Fan?" You asked. Agua sigh and she looks really sad and scared "Well 3 days ago when Hearty Fan and I were searching for you a bug like creature attacked us while we were getting ready to sleep it dragged me up but Hearty Fan was able to pulled me down and punched the creature right in the face it got mad and took Hearty Fan instead" said Agua, then she cried. You hugged her and comfort her "Shh... It's okay... It's not your fault" you said, then a few minutes later looks like she calmed down. She stand up and help you stand up "Come on we can't waste anytime" said Agua. Agua guided you out of the building that looks like a city hall "Hey Agua do you have any information about Zacks state right now?" You asked. Agua sigh "I did yesterday I was able to get back to the RV and call Starlight... And she said that Zack is now on a critical condition I'm afraid that if we don't get Hearty and That stupid artifact back before Sunset... Zack will die" said Agua. You gulped out of worried "Just how bad is his situation right now?" you asked. Agua looked at you in the eyes "I don't know for sure since Starlight said that his like a hologram but extremely faded" said Agua. "If only we can know where they took Hearty Fan" you said, Agua smirked. "Oh don't worry I know where he is they took him into the metal door that were supposed to got to... All we need right now is a plan and some back up" said Agua. You looked at Lazulines eyes and it says it all "Are you saying that where gonna tell Rainbow and the others about this?" You said. Agua sigh "It's not like we don't have a choice but they have to know plus they can help us a lot not to mention Sunset have to know that Zack is in the brink of life of death" said Agua. You sigh "Fine... Let's do it" you said. > Chapter 6: The unfortunate (VOD Part 3) > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 6 After you and Lazuline got out of the house you saw some the exact same goo that has been bothering you since the start of your college life "Do you think this goo has something to do with anything that is happening?" You said. Lazuline covered her cause of the horrible smell it emits "Oh absolutely since where dealing with a giant humanoid bug" said Lazuline. You two kept moving and it looks like your path is very clear so you both rushed back to the RV to get some help but the moment you tried calling it didn't work thers no longer a reception in the area "What the hell there was a reception just yesterday oh brother.... Aughh" said Lazuline, you looked at the window and noticed something surrounding the sky. You went outside the RV and looked up "Lazuline I think you should come and see this" you said, Lazuline rushed outside and gulped out of worried. "Now we know why we don't have any reception there's something covering this area with a giant magical dome" said Lazuline. You and Lazuline looked each other and it looks like you two just thinking the exact same thing and that is rescuing Hearty all on your own "You know we could die right?" Said Lazuline. You laughed a little "We'll it's not like we have any choice plus surely his tired of getting bugged by that thing" you said. Lazuline looks unimpressed "Yeah that's really bad" said Lazuline, and you just laughed. After having a little bit more conversation you and lazuline went straight into the cave where Hearty is being kept by the giant humanoid bug, when you got near it you two suddenly felt that you need to hide, you both look around in the entrance of the cave and saw something hanging from the ceiling as you get closer to get a good view it suddenly expanded its wings and fly over on top of you. Chrysalis smiles "We'll we'll we'll what do we have here... More humans how exciting. You know I could use another meal" said Chrysalis, followed by an evil laugh. Your eye's widen out of fear "Dont tell... You... You ate him!" You said. Chrysalis laughed and smirked "Oh darling I'm not a Monster, don't worry I just put him on one of my cocoons. You should have seen him how struggles just to get out, his body slowly got weaker as he slowy fall asleep" said Chrysalis. Lazuline stood up and threw a rock at Chrysalis, of course she dodged but it wasn't meant to harm her, it was meant to distract her. You picked the hint and you both run into the cave as fast as you can, but when you two just thought that you found the her lair what you found found is just the beginning of a long search since the cave is full of twist and turns that goes down deeper literally deeper into the cave. As you both look around to see if there are other ways you heard Chrysalis laugh echoing on all sides of the cave "What the hell did I get my self into" said Lazuline, the moment you looked at Lazuline you hugged immediately... She was trembling with fear. You felt her heavy breathing "Lazuline don't worry I'll protect you" you said, Lazuline hugged you. While you two were hugging each other Chrysalis showed up "Isn't this just so sweet... It's so sweet that I can't wait to feed on your love" said Chrysalis. Lazuline giggled "feed on our love what are you a pervert" said Lazuline, as she laugh. You gulped "Oh dear... We better run" you said. You noticed that Chrysalis is slowly hovering down looking down on both of you. Chrysalis smirked" Oh your not going anywhere" said Chrysalis, then she flew fast straight towards Lazuline pushing her to the pit where there's a lot stairs all the way to the buttom, well it is what your assuming since you can't really see the buttom since it's very dark. "AGUA!" You shouted as you look down on the pit, you looked at Chrysalis and she just laughed. "You humans are so pathetic and weak, caring for the others will get you killed mortal. As you know that friend of yours Hearty was it his not going to wake up anytime soon... But I guess your now more worried about that girl" said Chrysalis. You gave Chrysalis a sharp and intimidating look"You done talking... You insect" you said, Looks like you hit a nerve since she just suddenly got so mad. You smirked "Did I hit a nerve... I digress but let me ask you a question is the reason why your feeding on someone else love... Is that you've never been loved before and now your doing all of this. Well that's just pathetic isn't it" you said, she looked at you in the eyes with teary eyes while making a really mad face, crap what the heck did you just do. Chrysalis smirked"Your something else even just being a weak mortal" said Chrysalis, but the way she say it is that she was tormented. Chrysalis choked you "You know nothing about me, so don't you dare say those words to me" said Chrysalis. Looks like she really is tormented, her arm loosened a little enough for you to break free, since she just started crying. You hold her hand with both of your hands"Im sorry... Your right I know nothing about you... And it was wrong of me to just throw words at you without knowing you for who truly you are" you said. She looked at you in the eye and she just flew up and turn around "Dont worry... Don't worry about the girl she alright there's a lake down there" said Chrysalis, then she just vanished into the darkness. After she vanished you felt bad really bad for her, that you want to follow her but someone who's dear to you needs your help so you rushed down into the pit to save Lazuline, and the moment you got to the button you saw Lazuline by the shore sitting and leaning on a rock "Lazuline Hey you okay?" You said, as you rushed towards her. Lazuline sigh" I just fall assuming a hundred feet and your asking me if I'm okay my back hurts like I was hit by a car" said Lazuline. "Hit by a car... It felt like that so you got hit by a car before?" You asked. Lazuline rolls his eyes "That was just an expression you dumb ass" said Lazuline, then she just started giggling. You smiled and just laugh it off, even though both of you is in a bad situation"Gee what do you think Zack will do if he was here?" You said. Lazuline sighs "We'll I'm sure this trip would have been over by now... But right now he's just dying back in town" said Lazuline. You took a deep breath"We better hurry then, come on hop on my back" You said. Lazuline eyes widen and her face turned red "WHAT!? Nope i'd rather die here than hop on your back" said Lazuline. You sigh "Agua we don't have much time, if we don't hurry we might lose Hearty too. Well it's not that Zack is gone but... Ugh you get the point let's go" You said. Lazuline sigh and just hop on "You are never allowed to speak of this ever again" said Lazuline. When you stood up you felt her weight, you want to say she's quite heavy. You have a feeling she might punch you or something so you just walk on one of the tunnels. A few hours passed and you felt like both of you are just going on circle, so the both of you decided to take a little break and think it through on where your going. "At this point we might actually lose them" said Lazuline, you want to say that they won't but it's true if this keeps going you really might lose them. A few minutes passed you noticed Lazuline passed out "*Sigh* gee looks like I have to carry you while your asleep *Yawn*" You said. Then you noticed there was a fade green mist lingring in the air and it's making you really sleepy, when you realized what it was you immediately put a cover on your face and on Lazuline Face and Started walking. "Darn it, Darn it DARN IT, I'm losing my sight I have to... I have to-" you said, but you also passed out, as you slowly closing your eyes you saw a figure running towards you. [Change of point of view the Main 7's view" Meanwhile Rainbow Dash tried to call you, but she couldn't since it always says that your out of reach she sighs "Damn what is happening right now" said Rainbow. Then Sunset pat her in the pack "Hey is everything alright?" Asked Sunset. Rainbow sighs once more "Well no... I've been trying to Call Rush for about an hour now but it always says that his out of reach. Where could he possibly be right now" said Rainbow, then she just lay down on the bed and covered her face with a pillow. Sunset smiled and sit right next to her "Hey maybe his out of town, I guess you know what I'm gonna Zack maybe he could tell us where they are" said Sunset. Sunset took her phone out of her pocket and called Zack then she set it on loud speaker "Huh... Why is it taking so long he should have pick it by now" said Sunset. Then all of sudden someone answers "Hey Zack hello" said Sunset. "Hello this is Starlight Glimmer how can I help you?" Said Starlight. Sunset eyes widen out of shock "Starlight... Oh right counter part" she whispered. "Umm... why do you have Zack's phone?" She asked. Starlight sigh "I'm sorry but I cannot tell you" said Starlight. Sunset got confused "Why?... Where's my boyfriend" said Sunset, Rainbow noticed that Sunset immediately her temper. Rainbow pat her in the back "Oookay but umm... Why is it that you can't tell us where is he right now can we please talk to him" said Rainbow. Starlight sighs once more "I'm sorry but I cannot tell you" said Starlight, Sunset and Rainbow noticed that Starlights tone changed. Sunset sigh "Can you pls just tell me where you are and ill over there" said Sunset, But Starlight reply was the same. The she hang up, Rainbow rubbed her back "Somethings off... Twilight can you call Hearty Fan" said Rainbow. Twilight looked sad and worried "No his out of reach" said Twilight. Rarity hugged Twilight "Dont worry darling I'm sure it's nothing to worry about... Right?" Said Rarity. "I hope that's the case, That Starlight's tone of voice something tells me that... there is going on here that we don't know" said Apple Jack. Sunset looked at Twilight "Hey Twilight... Do you think you can track the phone call just now" said Sunset. Twilight got shocked"Are you serious... Umm yeah I can but it might get us in trouble with the authorities" said Twilight. Then suddenly Pinkie Pie raise her hand "I think I can help tracking Zack's phone" said Pinkie Pie. "How?" Said Rarity, while scrathing her head, and looking all confused. Pinkie Pie took a deep breath "Do you remember last science fair when Zack and I became partners... Well we made an app that we can track our each others phone but it didn't win so we didn't put it in the app store. But if I'm correct Zack never uninstalled it since he said that it might come in handy someday" Said Pinkie Pie. Apple Jack, Rarity, Flutter shy, Rainbow Dash, Twilight and Sunset all rushed towards Pinkie Pie "We'll do you still have it! The app I mean?" said Rainbow Dash. Pinkie Pie smiled "Ofcourse I do silly it's only Zack and I have it no one else, now let's see where my phone" said Pinkie Pie, When she got her phone she immediately lunch the app. Pinkie Pie raise her phone "FOUND HIM!" Shouted Pinkie pie. "Really where is he?" Asked Sunset, worryingly. Pinkie Pie got confused "We'll it says here... that his here at the Glimmer City and his in that building just there on that turn" Said Pinkie Pie. Twilight also got confused "But what are they doing here, also that building is a very expensive hotel it also has a pent house on the very top" said Twilight. Sunset sigh "knowing Zack... His at the pent house seriously he can afford it, and now we know where they are and there literally just right there we should go and visit them well assuming that his with Rush and Hearty" said Sunset, whole being very mad. "Oh boy looks like Zack is gonna receive a punch in the face" said Apple Jack. And then Rainbow and the rest of her friends went out on their hotel room and out of the building to see what is going on why Starlight Glimmer keeps telling them that she can't tell them anything. As they walking the building where Zack is in, little did Apple Jack know that her parents were alive and there in the same building that there going to. The moment they got into the entrance of the building, the security guard stop them from going in "I'm sorry but this Hotel is in private session nobody can get in" said the security guard. Rainbow looked around the reception since it's visible from the entrance "Then why are there so many people if it's in private session" said Rainbow. The guard sigh "Because they were requested by Ms. Glimmer" said the Guard. Then suddenly Rarity stepped "Hey Mr... Well the reason why we are here is because we have to do a photo shoot on are chosen location. So can we Request to at least give us a couple of minutes just to take a few shots then we promise after that we will be on our way" said Rarity. The Guard looked Rarity in the eye and smiled "Well then why didn't say so... Go ahead I can only give you 15min or else I'll get in trouble" said the Guard. Then all of them just walk pass with a smile in their faces"Okay where in But what now?" Whispered Fluttershy. Sunset looked back to check if the guard is watching and luckily he wasn't "Well obviously we all can't sneak up to top floor I think only one of us could go and sneak into the top floor" said Sunset. Then Rainbow Dash looked at Apple Jack "How about you Aj? I'm sure you can do it no problem" said Rainbow Dash. Apple Jack got shocked "Me? Why me... Why not Rarity everyperson here are all fancy she will fit in more" said Apple Jack. Rarity smiled "We'll darling I'm the one who got us in... The guard might check on us so I think it's better if i stay here" said Rarity. Rainbow Dash pat Apple Jack in the back"Dont worry cover you up as much as we can" said Rainbow Dash. Then they proceed moving towards the elevator while pretending looking for a spot to shoot some pictures. And when Apple Jack got closer to the elevator she immediately pressed it and get it and pressed the top floor button. Apple Jack wipes her forehead"That went smoother than I thought *Sigh*" said Apple Jack.When she got to the top, she looked around and saw a sign that it's just the 10th floor. Then suddenly she noticed that there is someone was approaching from her left that. She immediately lowered her hat to cover her face a little "So there's another elevator huh... That must be the way up to the pent house" she said on her mind. Then the person pat her shoulder "Hey miss are you alright... Do you need help?" Asked Pear Butter. Apple Jack got nervous "Umm no... I was just wondering is the pent house still available for rent?" Asked Apple Jack. Pear Butter smiled "No... It's apparently occupied right now... Oh sorry I'm running late my husband need me right now at the kitchen" said Pear Butter, then she rushed into the side of the hall way. Apple Jack didn't hesitate and just went for the elevator hoping that the lady won't look back and catch her. Apple Jack took a deep sigh "That was close" said Apple Jack. When she finally got up to the right floor, she immediately went out of elevator and straight to the peng house only to see Zack laying on the bed while starlight is using making sure that Zack won't fade away completely "What is... What is going on here" said Apple Jack. Starlight turned around "What are you doing up here and how did you get up hair" said Starlight. Apple Jack started approaching her and lifting Starlight tigh" You better talk right now on what's happening to him" said Apple Jack, but Starlight was able to turn the tables around making Apple Jack laying down on the floor. "I'm sorry AJ but you and assuming that your friends are here better leave also you better keep your mouth if you don't want this situation to get worse" said Starlight. Then suddenly Pear Butter and Bright Mac went out of the elevator "Apple Jack" said Pear Butter. Apple Jack looked at them and her eyes widen and starts tearing up"Mom?... Dad?... How could... Ho..." Said Apple Jack, then Starlight took the hint and just let go of her. > Chapter 7: Memories > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 7 Apple Jack stand up and walk slowly to her parents "Mom... Dad... Is that really you?" Asked Apple Jack. Pear Butter approached her and touched both of her cheeks "Look at you... Your all grown up... *smiles*" said Pear Butter. Then Apple Jack looked at Bright mac "I thought you were... You were..." Said Apple Jack but just before she got to finish what she about to say her mother spoke. "Shhh... It's okay where here now... But... We also can't stay long..." Said Pear Butter. Apple Jack's eyes widen "What do you mean... That you can't stay long?" Asked Apple Jack. Starlight glimmer pat Apple Jack in the back and point at the direction where Zack is laying down, then they both walked towards him "This is why... Your parents are only able to exist in this realm because of the spell Zack casted on them. But in return... They may get to live but Zack will slowly fade and die" said Starlight. Pear Butter holds Apple Jack's arm "He wants to tell you but he doesn't know how...if your Rush, Hearty and Lazuline don't get back soon he will really die" said Pear Butter. Bright Mac hugged Apple Jack "I'm sure you don't wanna exchange a life for another life... But don't worry he will find away to permanently bring us back" said Bright Mac. Everyone just stopped Talking when they heard Starlight gasped "Where too late... His completely gone" said Starlight. Apple Jack heard something on the back and she saw Sunset on her knees covering her mouth, as Sunset's tears fall from her eyes the room suddenly filled with bright light.... (Back to your point of view). Your eyes widen as you hear those words then suddenly a bright light filled the room "What's happening... Is this a dream... It's a dream right" you said, then suddenly the ground started breaking then you fall into a dark pit that almost like that it's buttomless. After falling for 30 minutes you were still falling when all of sudden you heard someone calling your name and telling you to wake up... But also your hearing someone say that "its not to late and he is not dead but he is suspended and unconscious... In order to save him at least make her remember him and she will know what to do" said by the mysterious voice. When you opened your eyes you saw your mother "Finally your awake come on and get ready if you don't want to be late for school" said your mother. You scratch your head out of confusion "umm... Okay mom... I'll be down in a minute" you said. Your mother let out sigh "Well hurry up... Your father in on leave today and his willing to give you a ride" said your mother. You rushed to the window on where you can see Zack's room or his house since he lives alone the moment you sway the curtains your eyes widen since the house was no longer there like it never existed. As you stare at the window you heard your mother shout "RUSH COME ON" shouted your mother. You took a bath and went downstairs immediately "Sorry mom just I just took a bath" you said, you took a piece of bread and left. You heard them calling you but you ignored them and rushed towards the bus stop. When you got to the bus stop there's no one there but the bus just arrived in time. When you arrived at Canterlot University you saw Rainbow Dash walking down the stairs along with Twilight, You walk towards them to check something that is in your mind "Hi Rainbow... Hi Twilight" You said. Twilight giggled so does Rainbow Dash "We'll what do you know the quiet kid can speak" said Rainbow Dash. You got confused its like she doesn't even know you "Umm have we hanged out before?" You asked. Rainbow Pat you in the shoulder "I'm pretty sure we didn't since you always eat alone... Plus you never said anything our whole high school life" said Rainbow. You can't believe what you just heard as you felt your chest got heavier "Nevermind... I'll just go..." You said, then you just walked past them, you also walked past Rarity, Apple Jack, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy and Hearty Fan... Its almost like everything that you and your friends been into never happened. As you walk towards the hall Lazuline put her arm around you "Hey Rushie how are ya" said Lazuline, you looked at her then hugged her. "Hey... Umm... Everything alright?" Asked Lazuline, as she scrubs your back. Your tears begun to fall and your voice started trembling "No... I... I... Don't know..." You said. Lazuline pull out and hold both of your cheeks "Hey why don't we go to the cafeteria and have some coffee since we really don't have anything to do this whole day because of the Canterlot Ball. So let's go to the cafeteria and talk about your problem and ill try to help in anyway I can" said Lazuline. You went to the cafeteria with Lazuline and explained everything to her "So the lasting you remember is that you passed out on cave while carrying me on your back... On a cave... Wait... Ate you sure, you didn't hit your head. Also as far as I know Rainbow's boyfriend is Soarin" said Lazuline. Your eyes widen "I'm sorry who?..." You asked. Looks like you made Lazuline nervous "We'll... Umm never mind that part you also mentioned that someone told you... That you have to a certain girl to make him remember who ever this Zack is" said Lazuline. You sigh "Yes... And I just don't know who... Maybe you or one of my other friends that is now have no clue who I am... *sigh* why is this happening to me" you said, then you banged your head on the table. Lazuline pat you in the back "Well this Friday the Canterlot Ball will be held at the new gym... Might as well asked you what are you gonna do now... I mean Rainbow was supposed to be with you" said Lazuline. You sigh "Well I'm pissed... Really pissed but I don't think there's anything I can do right now" you said. After along day helping the other students prepare for the Canterlot Ball along with Lazuline, you immediately went home but as your walking towards where you live, you saw Sunset starting at the empty lot where Zack's house was supposed to be. You approach her "Umm hi... Can I ask you what you are staring at?" You asked. Sunset looked worried about something as he stare at the empty lot then she looked at you with a smile "Well... I heard that there was an empty lot here since... Umm... I'm looking for a place that me and my friends could gather and have a picnic..." Said Sunset. You got confused "A picnic on an empty lot inside a subdivision... Seriously?" You asked. Then she nervously laugh "Well *ahem* that's right I mean... This is a nice neighborhood hehe... Well see ya" said Sunset, then she just casually walked away. You just shaped your head and just went inside you house "A picnic... *sigh* been a while since we had one of those" as you said those words, you smiled. You looked around the house to see what you can do, since all this magical stuff is just getting too much to handle... You don't even know why your looking for stuff to do in your house it's not gonna help... Then you remembered something... "The portal... Maybe... One of the Princess can help me... Though I have no idea what its like there... I never been into that world where Sunset... Sunset, wait. Make her remember and she will know what to do" you said, then you smacked your head as you realized who you need to get help from, but at the same time it also crossed your mind is it really her. So you made the decision to go through the portal first and see what you can find before you reach out to Sunset. While you were walking in front of the school you saw Rainbow with someone and it looks like his with that guy named Saorin. Since he's putting his arms around Rainbow seeing Rainbow with another man makes you anxious. You tried your best to ignore them and just walk in front of the portal. When you just about to step in, you heard Rainbow shout "HEY WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING?" shouted Rainbow. You looked back, And saw them running towards you with out any hesitation, you closed your eyes and you feel like your gonna throw up as you travel between space and time. When suddenly you stopped feeling dizzy and saw Zack right in front of you floating while unconscious you tried reaching out your hand to get to him but the moment you got close. A Bright light suddenly burst and making you lose your conscious bit by bit. When you woke up, you saw a pony with purple hair and mane starting at you "Umm... You okay?" Said Twilight, you gasp and tried to get up on your feet but you just fell back down. You looked at your hands... Uh oh where's your hands "Hooves why do I have hooves?" You said. Twilight help you get up with her magic "Hi I'm princess Twilight Sparkle it's nice to meet you... umm... You are?" Said Twilight. You cleared your throat "Oh umm I'm Emerald Rush... Did you just say that your name is Twilight sparkle" you said, with confusion. Twilight was just about to talk when Sunset shimmer came out of the portal "There you are! What are you doing?" Said Sunset shimmer. You sigh and since she here you decided to tell them about what actually is going on "Sunset and Princess... Twilight there's something that you have to know" you said, with a serious tone of voice. Twilight pick up the hint that it is important while Sunset was standing there with confusion "Rush... Sunset this way" said Twilight, then she walked walk towards to the other room, then both of you followed her. Sunset looked at you "Hey what is it? I mean you coming here is there something going on that is really big, That forced you to go here and seek for help?" Asked Sunset. You looked down for now as you both follow Twilight, then a couple minutes later Twilight brought you to a room with a huge table that is surrounded by 7 chairs that looks like a throne "Pls sit down and say what we need to know" said Twilight. You sigh "Well I just wanna ask first do you know anything about the prince of creation?" You asked. Twilight touch her chin with her hoof "Well there's only one book that is written about him... And also why do you ask his nothing more but a legend he never existed" said Twilight. You smack your hooves on the Table "His REAL... And his my best friend... *sigh*" you said, Sunset and Twilight looked startled but also worried. You sigh once more "I'll start from where Zack and I part ways, it's on hotel somewhere on the glimmer city and I left Zack in Starlight's hands *sigh* Sunset you know Zack more than I am... You two had a strong bond well mostly because you two are a couple" You said. Sunset blushed a little bit "I'm sorry what?... Did you just say Zack... Zackodia?" Said Sunset. Your eyes widen "Yes... Yuzuru Zackodia... I don't know what happened but back in the hotel Apple Jack found out that her parents were alive and they had little talk. But little did they know that Zack already disintegrate completely and sadly you saw how he vanished... And all of sudden the room was filled with a bright light" you said, you stopped for a moment since you noticed tears dripping out from Sunsets eyes. Twilight scrub Sunset Back " Are you okay?" She asked. Sunset wipe her tears "Why am I... Crying I don't remember anything yet I can feel something" said Sunset. You gulped and decided to keep going "while I was falling I heard a voice that told me too make her remember and she will know what to do... And I believe that it is you Sunset... You are the key on whatever is happening right now" you said. Sunset looked at you in the eyes "Tell me... What am I exactly to him... And what is he like... Why do feel like I know him and at the same time I don't" said Sunset. "Rush you said... You were in the room but you also said that you part ways with him... It doesn't make sense" said Twilight. "I don't know either... But when I was carrying Lazuline on my back I started losing my conscious because of a gas that is emitting on the walls of that cave... Then boom I was in the room though I'm sure that no one can see me... I'm not sure how I got ther but i believe that Zack's death affected the way lives somehow and I we need to know why"you said. After a long chat with Twilight, she decided to see what she can do to help but in order for her to do that you have to make Sunset Remember and restore her memories... Somehow since she might know what to do. When you and Sunset returned to your actual world Sunset looked at you in eyes "Say... What makes you think that it is me... You know to save him or whatever..." Said Sunset. You smiled "We'll your the one that came in my mind first so I just followed my gut and it looks like it really is you" said Sunset. She smiled back "Well I guess will be hanging around then... And somehow find away to restore what is actuallyour lives supposed to be" Said Sunset, then Sunset raise her fist. "Well Emerald Rush looks like I'll be your partner in crime for a while... And are you serious Rainbow and you suppose to be... You know a thing" said Sunset. You smiled and gave her a first bump "Yeah I'm pretty sure... I can't believe that Saorian guy is actually her" you said, as you both looked at the distance where you can see in front of the school. > Chapter 8: Unexpected help > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- After what happened yesterday you got more confident that you can do this, that you can get her back and your friend back on whatever is going on right now "Okay I just have to play it cool... And try not to punch that Saorin guy in the face" you said, since you promised to Sunset not to do anything stupid for now, because they have to keep it secret for a while. And while you were walking towards the bus stop... You saw him, the last person you want to see "Seriously... What is he doing here" you said in your mind. Saorin noticed you and waved at you "Hey Rush... I heard from Sunset that you'll be joining us in the club" said Soarin. You tried your best to stay in cool and smile "Yeah... I'm looking forward to it" you said. "Well what was that yesterday... I mean you went through the portal why?" Said Soarin. You sigh a little bit "Well... I have my reasons... Sorry can't really tell ya... For now" you said. Then a couple more minutes later the bus arrived and you both hop into the bus, but sat on different sits "*sigh* I can't believe I'm saying this but I miss Zack's horrible puns" you said in you mind. When you arrived in front of the school Sunset shimmer greeted you with a smile "Good morning Rush! So have you eaten breakfast?" Asked Sunset. You scratch your head "Yeah... Why?" You asked. Sunset giggled "Well because this Friday will be the annual Canterlot Ball, so that means every 4 days before the ball we have free time and pretty much do what ever we want" said Sunset shimmer. You smiled "Huh... Yeah I completely forgot about that... So right now I'm assuming that you want us to figure this out... You know this whole thing" you said. She sigh "Well yeah... I mean I keep having this dreams... That sometimes keeps me awake... Cause I keep thinking about them, Ya know" said Sunset. You pat her in the back "Well I don't know how exactly Zack comforts you but ill try my best to help you out" you said. She giggled "We'll... Anyway do you know where he lives?" Asked Sunset. You sigh "Well do you know that empty lot... Where you were just standing yesterday... That's where he's house supposed to be" you said. Sunset eyes widen "... Are you sure?... We'll do you know anyone that might still remember him... Like you?" Asked Sunset. You thinked as hard as you can "*sigh* well there's one I think... Maybe..." You said. Sunset smiled "We'll thats good enough for me... Well who is it?" Asked Sunset. You sigh and smiled "Well it's gonna be a long trip... 2 hours by bus but 1 hour by train" you said. Sunset laughed a little "Huh... The quicker the better I guess train it is then" said Sunset. Both of you went to the city so that you can get to the station, and while you were walking on the streets you saw Rainbow and Saorin in a diner. They both looked really happy and really In loved with each other, you didn't noticed that tears are falling from your eyes "Hey... Are you okay?" Asked Sunset. You looked at Sunset and wiped your tears then you smiled "Yeah... Yeah I'm fine, let's keep moving" you said. Sunset looked at them and pulled you away "If you wanna get her back, we have to fix this fast" said Sunset. While she was dragging you towards the station you felt her desperation to get her memories back, since she only have fragments of them... Fragments of him. And when you got to the station you revealed to Sunset where you were going "Where going to Hope Hollow, the place where everyone is full of hope" you said. Sunset scratch her head "Hope Hollow?... Do I know that place?" Asked Sunset. You smiled "Ofcourse you do... I think if we go their... We might find answers" you said. Sunset took a deep breath "Okay... Let's go to Hope Hollow" Said Sunset. Then an hour later you both arrived in Hope Hollow as you both walk on the path you can see a lot of people gathering around and dancing together "Huh... Looks like the Rainbow Festival is today" you said. Sunset scratch her "Huh... Sound familiar somehow" said Sunset. Then you both went to the town to see if any of them at least remember him, since somehow your gut is telling you to go here. As you both walk towards to kerfuffle's shop Sunset stopped you "What are they doing here?" Said Sunset. Then you looked at the direction where her shop is and you saw Kerfuffle talking to three girls "Uhh you mean those three... Do you know them?" You asked. "Yeah... There trouble ill tell you that...*sigh* but I'm sure they won't be a problem to us... maybe..." Said Sunset. And when you both approached all four of them, Kerfuffle greeted you with a smile while the other three girls jut stares at you "Hi Rush, and you must be Sunset I heard so much things about you from... From... Well nevermind I'll leave you two with my friends here for now, since the mayor needs me with a couple things" said Kerfuffle. When Kerfuffle left the three girls looked at you and completely if ignoring Sunset "Rush... Zack's best friend we heard so much great things about you.. I'm Adagio Dazzle" said Adagio. Then another girl pulled you and shake your hands fast "And I'm Sonata Dusk pleasure to meet you, Zack's bestie is also our bestie" said Sonata. Then you looked at the girl and looks like she can't make eye contact "And I'm..im I.. *ahem* I'm Aria Blaze" said Aria. Sunset raise an eyebrow since she never seen like that before "So you know Zack?..." Asked Sunset. Adagio rolls her eyes "Ofcourse we do... Besides he's the one who gave us this new pendants... But don't worry it doesn't feed on negativity but in positivity naturally meaning we don't mind control people anymore... Plus we can't" said Adagio. Sonata puts her arm around Sunset "He even actually gave us a home here... We owe him a lot... Anyway where is Yuzuzu" said Sonata. You and Sunset looked at each other and both shake your head side ways, the dazzling's got shocked when they heard it "Your kidding right... Right?" Said Adagio. You sigh "No... But I can assure you his not dead... I think... But I believe Sunsets memories is one of the key for saving him" you said. Adagio looks really worried "Well... If that's the case... Maybe we can help... I mean we've known him for a long time now... His house... He actually lives here before he moved to Canterlot City" said Adagio. You got shocked since Zack never mentioned anything about having another house " So I guess we can start by going there... It's actually our home now" said Sonata. Then the both of you followed the dazzling's all the way to their house as you follow them to the crowd since the festival is still going, you both got separated with each other you shouted Sunsets name but looks like she can't hear you. You tried your best to get out of the crown but when you do get out you lost her and the dazzling's "*Sigh* you got to be kidding me" you said. Then you sat down on a bench to take a break, you closed your eyes for a second when all of sudden someone sat right next to you "Well we meet again..." Said Rainbow. You got shocked and moved away a little bit "Hi... Rainbow" you said, then you look down. Rainbow pat your shoulder "Well this is crazy huh... The festival I mean... This is embarrassing I actually got separated from Saorin from this crowd" said Rainbow. You looked at her "We'll I actually also got separated with Sunset in this crowd" you said. Rainbows eyes widen "Wait... Are you two... Dating or something, cause I can help you out with a couple things with her" said Rainbow. You got shocked "WHAT!? No... No it's not like that where just here to do something important" you said. Rainbow looks like she doesn't believe you "Well... If you say so... Cause it's your loss" said Rainbow. You look up into the sky and took a deep sigh "The only one ill ever love is you..." You whispered. "Umm what... I didn't quite catch that" said Rainbow. When you realized what you just said, you stood up" Nothing... Well ill be going now I better go and look for her" you said. When your just about to leave you heard Rainbow sigh "I guess that's fine" said Rainbow, you looked and she looking at her phone, you sat down again. What am I doing, you said to yourself "Hey is something wrong? You asked, since she looks down. Rainbow sigh " We'll this day is supposed to be our special date since it's our anniversary... But it looks like his other club need him... I guess i can forgive him... Even though this is third time he did this... In a row" said Rainbow. You scrub Rainbow Back as you said things In your head "That jerk... I'm gonna kill him, how could he do this to her" you said in your mind. You saw tears on her eyes so you think of something "Umm hey... Do you wanna hang... I mean to at least get your mind out of the situation for a while" you said. Rainbow smiled "I'd like that..." Said Rainbow. Seeing her smile while you know she's in pain gives you a lot of reason to punch that guy in the face "We'll I know just the thing..." You said. You stood up and reach out your palm "Come on... Let's have some fun" you said, She smiled with delight for some reason, you can see it on her eyes. She slowly reach out her hand to you, the moment her hand touches yours, your heart beats really fast "Have we hanged out before... Since this is awfully familiar" said Rainbow. You smiled "I'm not sure...but who knows" you said, then you and Rainbow run to the festival with excitement on both of your faces. > Chapter 9: Just Friends? > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- As You and Rainbow tried every single dish that every booth can offer, you almost felt like everything was back to normal, even though you know that your not the one who is in her heart but at least you can make her happy at the mean time. As you were trying to catch with Rainbow you noticed that she's like trying to hide her true self, trying to hide every skin that is closed to her private places "Hey Rainbow... Can we take a break for a minute" you said. Rainbow rushed towards you as you sat down on a nearby bench " Tired already!?" Said Rainbow, like almost seems like she's holding back her tone. You sigh "You know since it's just the two of us and Saorin is not here... You can pretty much go all out" you said. Rainbow looks confused "Ummm what do you mean?" Rainbow asked. You looked at Rainbow eyes "What I'm trying to say is you don't have to hold back for who you are... You can just show how energetic you are and just show who truly you are... Ya know" you said. She blushed a little "Oh... You noticed that huh... *Sigh* I guess I've been listening to him to much... To be honest with you my friends actually told me that his being a bad influence they say that his holding back who truly I am... And your right I shouldn't hold back who I am, but it will make him angry and i love him so..." Said Rainbow. But just before she got to finish you interrupted her "So your gonna let him stop you from being the most awesome person... Do you remember that song that you wrote... *Ahem* I'm awesome, take caution, watch out for me Im awesome as I wanna be... So be like that be awesome as you want to be" you said. The moment you looked into her eyes, it almost like there was a spark between you and Rainbow "Pfft... Yeah... Umm I think it's only more awesome if I'm the one who's singing it... Okay Emerald Rush i guess I can be who truly I am no one can tell what to do with my self... I can be awesome as I wanna be... So let's have some fun" Said Rainbow, she stood up and ran to a distant. You looked at her as she ran a little bit further and turned around and point a finger on you "SO WHAT DO YOU SAY!... LETS DO THIS" said Rainbow, it's all over her face she's excited to go all out, almost like she's been holding her true self for very long time. You ran towards her and the moment you got in front of her she held your hand "Thank you... Maybe Saorin can't give me the perfect anniversary at least you gave me the best and awesome day... So what do you say... Friends?" Said Rainbow. It pains you to see her that she already sees you as friend but right now it's what she need and there really nothing you can do about it right now "Yeah... Friends" you said, as you said those words you gave her a big smile. You both ran into the festival once more and had fun, and even played games together, since there was so much to do you both took a break from time to time since the festival last till 8:00 pm "we had 10 tokiyaki, 5 hotdogs, 20 sushi, 10 squids, two whole bento from this Japanese booths and now you want to try the full blown American cuisine *Burp* excuse me" you said, as you hold your stomach cause your so full, not to mention Rainbow is obviously drunk. Rainbow looked down on you "Aww your chickening out already... *Burp* i guess you could just admit your defeat" said Rainbow, this woman won't really back down on any challenge especially on her own challenge. You smiled "Heh... I can still eat let's go" you said, and at this point you know if you eat anyore, you'll puke. You noticed Rainbow sat down on a bench, so you sat down next to her " You okay?" You asked. She leaned her head on your shoulder "Yeah... I'm fine... I guess I'm full... Really full" said Rainbow, followed by a giggle. When you looked at the time you saw that it's already 7:30 pm and you know that around those time, the train won't be coming this far till 5:30 am. You sigh "Oh... Seriously... Well looks like where stuck here for the night *Sigh*" you said. Rainbow giggled "Good... *hiccup* that means I don't have to go back for the night his just gonna scold me... We live together you know" said Rainbow. Hearing that makes you jealous and angry "Oh... Huh... I guess that fine" you said. Rainbow pinched your cheek "Dont think anything stupid... We don't sleep together... He sleep on couch" said Rainbow. Hearing that gives you a lot of reason to be relieved "I'm not... Well where are we gonna stay for the night?" You asked. Rainbow point at the center of the town "See that building over there... That's also a hotel... I did my research befo- *Yawn* before we went here" said Rainbow. You smack your head a little "I completely forgot about that" You said. Then a couple more minutes later you didn't noticed that Rainbow fell asleep while leaning down on your shoulder "RD?... *Sigh*" you said, then you slowly stood up, and carried her on your back, and walked as fast as you can to the hotel. When you finally reach the building you asked the receptionist for a room "Umm can I get a room... For my friend here" you said. The receptionist gave you a big smile "Ouu hello... I'm Petunia Petals... Room for two *Laugh* just kidding there's only one room makes it easier to find" said Petunia Petals. Even though you have questions you just followed her "This is it, the royal sweet" said Petunia Petals. You looked at the room and there were three beds and it looks like there's also a pop out bed "Thank you! We'll be okay on our own now" you said, then Petunia just casually leaves after saying good night. You lay down Rainbow on a bed, then you turned off the lights, after that you put some blanket over her "Good night Rainbow" you said, then you lay down on a bed that is just right by the window. As you tried to sleep you can't help it but to think that you two are I the same room but not on the same bed since you always sleep together everytime the both of you got the chance, of course you asko do other things, you play games, even order some late night pizza's and other stuff. You sit up on your bed and looked at your phone to at least tire you out, but also to give time for your stomach to digest all that food that you two just ate. While you were serfing on your phone you heard Rainbow crying in her sleep. So you went to her immediately to calm her down. You scrub her hair gently "Hey... Hey shh it's alright... I'm here... I'm here" you said, Rainbow held your hand, and put it against her lips. As your about to leave since she seems like she calmed down you heard her call out your name "Rush... Don- don't leave me" said Rainbow. After hearing that you just sat down on the floor and waited for her to completely fall asleep, but as the time pass by you didn't noticed that you too also fell asleep. > Chapter 10: The Unintentional Discovery Part 1 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The moment you woke up Rainbow was not on the bed anymore but she left you a letter, you took the letter that she left under you palm. You stood up and opened the letter. "Hey, Your probably wondering where I am, I already left for the big game today I promised Saorin that ill be there to see him play. He's a really tennis player ya know. Also umm if you don't have any plans tomorrow maybe we could hang out again I would really love to spend some time with you again You dearest Friend Rainbow Dash" You smiled since it looks like you didn't completely lost her, then you rushed down stairs to look for Sunset since you haven't seen her since yesterday when you two got separated. When you walked out the door you already found her she's with Kerfuffle and it looks like there having a great time, so you approach them, but as you get closer you noticed that around Sunsets eyes were red "Hey... Sunset are you alright?" You asked. Sunset fixed her hair up and smiled "Yeah... I'm fine, So where did you go yesterday?" Asked Sunset. You blushed and laughed nervously "Well... Umm funny story, I went looking for you and I couldn't find you so. I sat on bench to take a break then she showed up... Rainbow I mean" you said. Sunset giggled "Did you talk to her?" Said Sunset, you sat right next to her as you took a deep sigh. You put both of your hands behind you back as you lean against the wall "Well we did talk... A bit, and I found out that Soarin left her at the day of their anniversary just for their tennis practice, since he has a big play today" you said. "Huh... It is today, Let me guess you made her day yesterday, Rainbow I mean" said Sunset. You smiled "We'll yeah of course I did, it's all I can do for now... I know this is very selfish but I just want her back to my life again" you said. Sunset sigh "We'll I can't really blame you... For that reason, I actually regain my memories yesterday night, that's why I look like this... And now I know what to do and I would appreciate if you let me do this one alone" said Sunset, then she stood up and waved at you, you know its good bye so you waved back. Kerfuffle pat your back "Well since your here... I heard that you want to know their story... Zack and Sunset I mean" said Kerfuffle. You smiled and sit properly "We'll I really got nothing to do today... Might as well find out their story" you said. Kerfuffle giggled "You look excited... Well I guess I should start where Zack and Sunset first met... Which is actually here at Hope Pollow, Canterlot High had a field trip here, to teach the students how thisown was founded and who made the Rainbow Festival, believe it or not Zack was one of their guide to this town everyone listens to him except for one... *Sigh* Sunset Shimmer... She just keep wondering around like nobodies business and she's always separating to her group which is where Zack was appointed... She goes on and on, and on always seperating and when one of her classmate was just about call her, Zack stopped him, Flash to be exact " No... No let her be she's not little kid anymore" said Zack, Flash Just nodded and just kept following him... And when they arrived at their final destination which is a place where all of the students are going to rest... I remind Zack about Sunset shimmer "Yeah... I completely forgot, well stay here with this people for now, *sigh* ill go get her" he said, i waitted for an hour and finally they came back, Sunset just walked past me with a cold look on her face "Hey what happened, what took you guys so long" i asked, he said that Sunset got into trouble at back at the town and he spend the whole hour watching Sunset clean up her own mess" said Kerfuffle. You gulped "what did she do anyways?" you asked. Kerfuffle scratched her cheek "Well... She accidentally broke a lot of plates... Not only that she's also arguing with the owner of the shop... And Zack paid the plates that Sunset broke in exchange Sunset cleaned them up... That's what Zack told me also the store owner" said Kerfuffle. You sigh "Heh... I can't believe that he actually paid the broken plates... Well how did he end up in Canterlot city?" You asked. Kerfuffle smiled "We'll... A few days after Zack decided to move in Canterlot city and enroll in Canterlot high which is now Canterlot University... And of course he didn't leave without saying goodbye to all of us... And he has a unique way of doing so, I will never forget that day that he set up a whole speaker that is on max volume and wake every single people here at Hope Pollow" said Kerfuffle. You got shocked when you heard what he did "Wow... Umm that's something" you said, then both of you just laughed at that moment. Kerfuffle stood up and give you her palm "Since you said that you got nothing to do today why not help me out for a while at the shop" said Kerfuffle, you held her hand and nodded yes. After a long day you said good bye to Kerfuffle and head into the Train station since it's afternoon and it's also the last time the train will stop at Hope Pollow "I guess I could just asked someone else back in Canterlot city who remembers him" you said, then you hop into the train and sat and nearest sit, and while you were listening to your favorite playlist you realized something, How on earth does Kerfuffle still remember Zack. Not to mention those three girls they also remembers him "Why am I realizing this just now" you said on your mind, and you just face palmed your self. When you got back home, you saw your mother and father sleeping on the leaving room since the couch can turn into a bed "*Smiles* I really don't wanna wake them, since there still on their uniform" you said on your mind, then you just went upstairs and went to bed. Tomorrow morning you contacted Rainbow to see if she still wanna hang out but no one answered. When you looked outside your window you saw that Zack's house is back "Is he... Back?" You said, then you rushed out side and went to Zack's house immediately and when you got inside, you saw someone you didn't expect that is sitting in front of the tv watching a video, that Zack recorded during your vacation at the Silver shores resort "Rainbow... Do you..." You said. Rainbow stood up and turned around and you saw tears running out of her eyes "Why... Why... Why can't I remember?" Said Rainbow, then you approached her slowly. You gulped "How many video, you actually seen?" You asked. Rainbow sat down, and pointed the lop top that is connected to the tv, and it looks like it's Zacks laptop, Zack really keep those videos, as he promised to you back in Silvershores, why did you make him keep it. "Rainbow I... I know your confused right now... But you have to calm first so that I can explain everything" you said. "Calm... How can I calm down, there back in Silver shores how could it be you?... Cause as far I remember it was Saorin... Do you know what else I saw, this year book that says Saorin and Spitfire the best couple elite tennis players and this was just a year ago... If your gonna explain everything how can I believe it, if my life right now is something that I didn't even get to choose. How can believe you?... How?... Just who am I exactly?.. Who are you?" Said Rainbow. You couldn't answer because you couldn't think of the right words, as you just stand there without saying anything Rainbow just walk pass you "I don't know, what real anymore" said Rainbow, as she walked out the door. > Chapter 11: The Unintentional Discovery Part 2 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- You didn't go after her, since you know that she needs sometime to process everything that she discovered "Why is it getting more complicated over time" you said. You sat on Zacks couch to think this through, but while you were thinking someone knocked on the door, and when you turned around to see who it is, you got surprised "Well looks like someone screwd up" said Adagio, you sigh. You walk towards her as you sigh deeply "What are you doing here anyways?" You asked. Adagio smirked "Well I figured that this might happen" said Adagio, wait she knew that this might happen how?. You held both of her hands and you look straight into her eyes "Adagio, pls help me... I don't know how you can still remember him... I just don't know what to do anymore" You said. Adagio pull out "Okay, okay... Gee that's exactly why I'm here *Sigh* if you jump into me like that again I'm gonna incinerate you" said Adagio. You smiled "Sorry... I'm just all clueless right now..." You said, you invited her to come inside, it felt a little weird since you invited someone to come inside like it's your house. Adagio looked around "We'll first I have question, why did she go in here anyways?" Adagio asked. Now that you think about it, why did she come in here "I have no idea, but I feel like there's something more than this" you said. Adagio smirked "Pfft, well duh... Of course there's something more to this and I might just know who might have persuade her to come in here" said Adagio. You scratch your head as you think who might have done it, but you couldn't think of anyone "Well... Who is it?" You asked. Adagio just begin to shivering at that moment "The Lord of Chaos himself" said Adagio. You scrub Adagio's back "You okay... Your shivering, is he scary or something?" You asked. Adagio sighed "He's terrifying, his power is like a god, the only one who can match him is the prince of creation and prince of order on raw power and strength" said Adagio. For some reason you suddenly felt chills down your spine "Well I just hope his not evil" you said. "Well luckily his not... Anymore, and it just happens that I know where to find him" said Adagio. You smiled "We'll I guess it's settled then, so where are we goin?" You asked. Adagio smiled back "Well... Let's just say it's somewhere, where it all began... What I mean by that is where all of this crap happens... Chaotic isn't it" said Adagio. So this Lord of Chaos, is he have something to do with all of this "Why do I have a feeling that his playing a part on what ever is going on here" you said. When Adagio opened the door, both of you got shocked when you saw Sunset Shimmer "If your going to see discord let me tell you this, he has nothing to do with this. Literally, he change... Well also you can't really go back to Equestria, if you try and cross that portal you'll get incinerated" said Sunset shimmer. Adagio got shocked "Wait... What!?... Oh right Star swirl also is the one who created that portal, but incineration is a bit to extreme and mean and overkill... Well also if he has nothing to do with this then why am I sensing some chaos magic around " Said Adagio. "Before you answer that, umm where did you go?" You asked. Sunset suddenly looked so down when you asked what you said "Well... As much as I want to keep it secret for now... But I managed to pull him out... Zack I mean but his still unconscious, since his in a constant battle with this chaos... I went to discord in equestrian but he said he's got nothing to do with this. And he said to me that he'd rather spent his time with Flutter Shy than going here and causing chaos" said Sunset. You and Adagio got shocked once more when you heard that Zack is back "He's back... You managed to pull him out but why is stilll like this, I mean everything is still all wrong" you said. Adagio stepped in "Yeah, and what do you mean his in a constant battle with this chaos" said Adagio. Sunset sigh and pulled out a book out of her back pack "Princess Twilight gave me this yesterday, after we pulled Zack out of the void, everything we have to know" said Sunset as she went inside the house and placed it the table. When Sunset opened the book it was blank at first then all of sudden words starting to appear "Why is it like that?" You asked. Adagio smirked "I know this type of magic and this book has a spell that it will instantly translate it to the reader" said Adagio. You scratch your head "Huh... What with the smirking though" You said, but Adagio just kept looking all smug. Sunset giggled "Gee... You two, maybe in another world you two might have been in love with each other" said Adagio. Adagio stopped smiling and started looking all red "Oh shut up... How could say something like that... Hmm" said Adagio. Sunset smiled "We'll the reason I said that is... It is discord who have schemed this... But not this worlds discord but from another universe... Rush, me Adagio will take care of this, and what you have to do is fix this world do you remember when you said that someone told you to make her remember and she will know what to do it's not me... It's Rainbow" said Sunset. Your eyes widen "Rainbow... But why?, I'm confused right now" you said, when you looked Sunset and Adagio in the eyes, you felt that there trying to tell you that your the only one who can do this. You sigh loudly "Fine... I'll just pretend I know what the heck is the reason why is it her... And just do this thing, plus it's also a good reason for me to get her memories back and fix all of this... I miss her, I miss her so much" you said, as tears fall into your eyes. Sunset pat you in the shoulder as she gave you something "What is this?" You asked. Sunset smiled "Its a memory stone but modified by me and Twilight you just have to get her touch this on her own free will you can't force it or else it will not work" said Sunset. You took the stone and gripped to it "Sunset, Adagio I owe you two" you said. Adagio smirked "Heh... You don't owe me anything, I didn't really do anything" said Adagio. Sunset pat you in the shoulder once more "Go... Get her back and fix this mess where counting on you" said Sunset. You smiled and ran outside to find Rainbow, you ran like this is the last time your going to see her "Rainbow I promise... I'll get your memories back no matter what" you said, as you ran off to find her. > Chapter 12: Sonic Rainboom > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- After looking for a long time, you decided to try calling her "Come on pick up... Pick up" you said, but she won't answer her phone, you tried one more time, but she really won't answer the phone. When your just about to just continue looking for her, you saw by the park, where the both of you always hang around... Why didn't you look here first, you said to your self. You approached her slowly and sat right beside her "I'm... Sorry, I know that it's a lot to take in" you said. Rainbow looked at you as she wipes her tears "It's weird... I mean you and I supposed to be together, do you remember that day, when you talked to me... When you approached me and Twilight since that day I started having dreams... I keep hearing your voice in my dream. I mean it's feels so real, I was there talking to you having fun... At that cab- cabin..." Said Rainbow, as she turned red. You cleared your throat as you hear that part "On all of things why did you dream that" you said. Rainbow giggled softly "It's not that I have control over it... But judging by your reaction it really did happen meaning it's a memory... And there's also this guy with a green hair, I think Zack is his name... I believe that you two are best friends right?..." Said Rainbow. You smiled "Yeah... We are, I'm almost afraid to ask umm.. What else did you dreamed I might be able to help you to refresh your memories" you said. Rainbow smiled "Well I also dreamed that when we first met... You were nervous back then were you?" Said Rainbow. You laughed nervously "Yeah... A little bit I guess" you said, Rainbow giggled once more. Rainbow held your hand and put it against her cheek as she cries "It hurts... It really hurts... To be honest since that day, what I feel for Soarin Started to fade, and I started having feelings with you... It doesn't make any sense... But why can't I stopped thinking about you, I know that you love me and I love... Yo-" said Rainbow, but just before she got finished. You kissed her when you pulled out she cried more, then all of sudden she hugged you tightly "Shh... I'm here, I'm not going anywhere" you said. Rainbow keeps crying "I'm sorry... I'm so sorry... How could I forget you the one who made me extremely happy how... How could I..." Said Rainbow. You scrub her hair "No... Its not your fault, this all happened, since I couldn't save him at the right moment" you said, and now that you think about it, all of this happened did this all happened when Zack faded. You smiled as you kiss Rainbow on her head "I don't think that's it" you said in your mind. When Rainbow calmed down you showed her the memory stone that Sunset gave you "what is this?" Asked Rainbow. "Well it's a memory stone that Sunset game me... She said that if I gave you this you'll get your memories back" you said. Rainbow eyes widen "Really... I'll remember everything" said Rainbow. You smiled "Yes... It will" you said, Rainbow took the memory stone, the moment she held it, it started glowing. Both you and Rainbow got shocked, as the it gets brighter. You closed your eyes since you can't handle the brightness, but when the moment you opened your eyes you saw that the memory stone turned into sand "What... What happened" you said, then aall of sudden Rainbow pulled you and kissed you. You got surprised since it was sudden "Rainbow..." You said, Rainbow was smiling, she's happy really happy, you can see it in her eyes. You touched Rainbows cheeks "Do you... Have you... Did it-" you said, but before you just got to finish what your saying, she covered your mouth with one finger. Rainbow smiled as tears started coming out of her eyes "Yes... It worked" said Rainbow. Both of you hugged each other for a while "Rush... I have to tell you something" said Rainbow, when you looked at her she looks serious. You gulped "What is it?" You asked. Rainbow took a deep breath "I now Remember that this will happen" said Rainbow. You got confused and shocked "What... What do you mean... What are you talking about?" You asked. "Well last summer, Zack, Hearty and I did some pretty scientific stuff, well I guess what I'm trying to say is, we did some experiment on a magical orb... When Zack and Hearty Fan, trying to make it stable the energy I mean coming from the orb, I may... Be touched it a little and foreseen this... Sooo when i told them that, they believed that it will actually happened since Zack said, that the orb is the sphere of time... So we made a device that should bring everything back to normal" said Rainbow. After hearing that you spaced out a little "So... You didn't even bother telling it to me at all... Why?" You asked. Rainbow sigh "Cause I know that you'll get worried" said Rainbow, the way she says it is very sincere so you just hugged her. You sigh "Well... How does this device work anyways" you said. Rainbow got excited "Well... Hearty and Zack said that only I can activated it, they said that I have to run as fast as I can until I break the sound barrier" said Rainbow. Your jaw drop "All of this... Magic stuff is starting to getting more and more ridiculous" you said. Rainbow started stretching "Wait wait wait wait, your doing it now... Have you even have the device on you?" You said. Rainbow laughed nervously "No... It's in my house at the hidden compartment in my table" said Rainbow. You smiled "Gee... Wait you have a hidden compartment in your table why?" You asked. Rainbow giggled "We'll to hide it duh... Plus I'm also hiding a couple things in their... Well it's not an ordinary hidden compartment Zack may or may not made it as an infinite storage" said Rainbow. Your eyes widen "How can you even find what your looking for in their if it's infinite" you said. Rainbow laughed "Simple you just think about it and it will spill it out for you... It's very handy, you should ask him to get you one. Anyway let's go, if we want our normal life back we gotta do it fast" said Rainbow. Then the both of you rushed to the house to get it. Rainbow told you to wait outside, you don't know why but you didn't ask since the both of you are in a hurry. And after a couple minutes Rainbow went out, and showed you a capsule "It looks cool isn't it" said Rainbow. "So... You just have to run fast, then that thing will activate and fix all of this... How does that even work?" You asked. Rainbow sigh "Well... I guess I think it'll erase what ever is going on here after I broke the sound barrier" said Rainbow. Then you thought of something "Or it'll cause an explosion of magic that will do that what ever you just said after you broke the sound barrier" You said. Rainbow smiled then she just started Running... Does that mean it really will cause an explosion, you just sit on step and look at the distance "She... Not going to die is she just to save the world" you said. As you were looking at the direction where Rainbow ran, someone sat right next to you "She won't... " said Twilight. You got shocked "Where did you come from?" You asked. Twilight giggled "Inside the house duh... You don't gave to worry about her she'll be fine" said Twilight. You sigh "Where not even sure about that" you said. Twilight scrub your back "Do you really think Zack will put your girlfriend on line just to save the world, Actually Right now Sunset, Adagio and even Zack himself are risking their at theis very moment" said Twilight. Then suddenly an explosion happened on a distance... An explosion that is very colorful, it covers the sky and everything in your surrounding started glowing really bright, after that... Everything just went blank. Dark you can't see a single thing, but you can hear something, it's like water that is dripping from the ceiling. When you opened your eyes you saw that your still in the cave, you saw Lazuline laying down on the floor right beside you, you held her hand "Lazuline, wake up, wake up" you said. Lazuline woke up, and get up slowly "What happened?" asked Lazuline, then all of you got startled when you heard shouted calling out both of your names. "AQUA, RUSH... WHERE ARE YOU?" said Starlight, you realized it Starlight, also you heard other people calling your names. Both of you ran towards the direction where you hearing the loudest, and luckily it led you right to them. Both of you got shocked when you saw, that it's not only starlight that is looking for you, also your other friends including the dazzling's and kerfuffle "There you are vermins" said Adagio. Lazuline giggled "She called you a vermin" said Lazuline. You sigh and smiled "She said Vermins that means you too" you said. Lazuline expression change from happy to annoyed "Oh you sick little crap" said Lazuline. Adagio laughed "I'm just kidding can't you take a joke" said Adagio. Then all of sudden Rainbow tackled hug you and both of you fell on the floor "Thank God your okay" said Rainbow, as she cries. Wait... Is all of that just a dream but how you said in your mind "I missed you" you said, to Rainbow. When you looked at your left you saw Zack, and then he winked at you while smiling gently, why does he look extremely cute... She's not even a girl, But judging by that winking it all really did happen. Then a few months later everything was back to normal, Your annoying alarm clock wake you up, you took a bath, brush your teeth, you put on some clothes, and went down stairs, it really seems that your normal life is back. As always Zack is waiting for you at the bus stop, so you waved at him. You pat Zack's head and lean it to your chest "What are you doing?... Perv" said Zack. You smiled "Glad to have you back bud" you said, Zack sigh and pulled out. Zack smiled "Yup... Glad to be back in the living world even though I didn't really die" said Zack, then both of you just laughed. "Hey, lately... Is Hearty seemed odd to you" asked Zack. You thinked "Umm no I don't think so... Why?" You said. Zack just sigh "I guess floating in the void messed with my head... Also I forgot the bus already left like 2 hours ago" said Zack. Your eyes widen then you looked, his face looked very neutral "What!?" You said, Zack turned around slowly and Start Running. "WELL YOU BETTER START RUNNING IF YOU DONT WANT TO BE LATE" Shouted Zack, you took a deep sigh and you also just started running, you waited at the bus stop for 30 min... Just to find out that the bus is not coming seriously what is with this guy. > Chapter 13: Apples > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It's been a year since the Chrysalis and her torment still bothers you, but at the moment something is bothering you more... You don't know what kind of gift Apple Jack would like for her birthday. You sigh "I wonder what would she like" you said, as you stare at the Apple fritters and Apple Pie's that is displayed just right out side the bakery. You scratch your head "Ahhhh... What would Apple Jack like a food or something that she can use..." You said, then all of sudden someone touch your shoulder. You got shocked the moment you turned around to see who it was "Umm hi Apple Jack's nom and Apple Jack's dad... Sorry I really don't know what to call you" you said. Pear Butter giggled "You can just call me Miss Butter" said Pear Butter. Bright Mac smiled "And you can just call me Mac" said Bright Mac. You nervously laughed "Well what can I do for you?" You asked. Pear Butter sigh "Well... Zack told us to go to you... For now since his arranging Apple Jack's Birthday for tomorrow. And since Apple Jack has no memory of us... Meeting again we figured that tomorrow on her birthday would be the best time since there is no school tomorrow" said Pear Butter. Well you can see that, why it would be the best time, but why did Zack told them to go to you "He he... Umm excuse me for a second ill just call someone" you said. You called Zack and luckily he picked immediately"I'd figure you'd call... You must be wondering why did I send them to you. Simple so that you can escort them back to my house" said Zack on the phone. "Uh-huh... Well when why just now? I mean AJ could have meet them last summer" you said. Zack sigh "Do you think it's easy... To free their body that is deep underground in a lost temple deep in the Amazonia jungle" said Zack. You laughed nervously "Right... I forgot about that... Well what are you doing at the moment" you said. Zack didn't answer immediately since looks like his talking to someone there "Sorry... I was talking to Kerfuffle and Sunset about the tables and mats, and to answer your question we are preparing for AJ birthday party tomorrow... Sorry gotta go I have tons of things to do cya" said Zack, then he hanged up. Pear Butter pat your shoulder "Well... What now... We actually over heard your conversation" said Pear Butter. You turned around "I guess follow me... I can show you where Zack live" you said. Pear Butter giggled "We don'tt have to hurry up... How about we help you getting Apple Jack favorite food" said Pear Butter. You felt a little embarrassed "Yeah I guess I'm having trouble on what should I get for AJ's birthday" you said. Bright Mac looked at you with a serious "Are you dating my daughter?" Bright Mac asked. You gulped "I'm what?... no... no it's not like that... plus I already have a girlfriend" you said. Bright Mac sigh and smiled almost with a relief "Oh good... Good" said Bright Mac, then Pear Butter elbowed him. "Sweety... Don't scare her friend it's not just because his getting a present for her it doesn't mean he's dating her" said Pear Butter. You smiled nervously "It's okay... I can see why'd you think that since I'm pretty close with her I mean where friends after all" you said. Then all of sudden someone pat you in the back with a great force "Hey Rushie mi boy" said Lazuline. You coughed "Are gonna kill me or something AQUA" you said. Lazuline laughed "Sorry... No need to get all worked up... oh who look who's here" said Lazuline. Pear Butter smiled "Hello we meet again... Miss Lazuline" said Pear Butter. Lazuline hugged Pear Butter and Bright Mac "Nice to see you two again... When did we met again?" Said Lazuline. You got shocked "Wait... You don't remember them?" You asked. Lazuline scratch her head "No... But they look awfully familiar for some reason have really met?" Said Lazuline. Pear Butter sigh "Just as I thought looks like that Rainbow explosion that fixed all of this really erased some memories" said Pear Butter. You got confused "Then how come I can remember it" you said. Lazuline loudly "No more drama of the past let's go somewhere else fun" said Lazuline. Pear Butter Giggled "Yeah I guess it's in the past let's have some fun for now" said Pear Butter. You thought that Lazuline might have picked up something in the air that you didn't notice, since now that you noticed Pear Butter is getting uncomfortable with the topic "Yeah so about that present" you said. While you all of you are walking towards the bus stop. You saw Hearty Fan looking around before going to an alley way "What is he doing?" You thought. Pear Butter pinched your cheek "Are you listening" said Pear Butter. You giggled nervously "What is it again?" You asked. Pear Butter sigh "Gee... I said it cannot something be bought it can only something you can make" said Pear Butter. You got curious " And that is?" You said. Pear smirked "A delicious Zap Apple Pie" said Pear Butter. You got confused "Zap Apple What!?" You said. Lazuline suddenly hop in front of all of you "Ohh Zap Apples there very rare" said Lazuline. Bright Mac Laughed "It is Rare and just happened that Zack has them" said Bright Mac. Then an hour later you finally arrived at Zack's house and all of you started preparing the ingredients immediately "Okay let's get this Zap Apple out of the fridge... Huh... Why is Zack... Have testtube here" said Bright Mac. You took one the testube and smelled it "Huh this smells like lavender" you said, then you suddenly remember Pinkie is making edible perfume for cakes. You sigh "I just rememberedd Pinkie Pie is trying to make edible perfume for cakes" you said. All of you got worried about it since it might have affected the Zap Apples but when Bright Mac bite into it he said that it was fine. Then all of you started baking, your the one who mashed the Zap Apples, Lazuline and Pear Butter is the one who's making the Pie crust while Bright Mac makes the Zap Apple Jam for extra goods. And after that you just settle down and had fun with Lazuline and AJ's parents, there even times that you and Lazuline are just laughing along even though you two don't know what's funny. You didn't know the night falls you, Lazuline, Pear Butter, and Bright Mac fell asleep at the living room, when all of sudden a horn noise wakes all of you up "Aww did I wake you guys up... Tell me what happened to my kitchen and my Zap Apples" said Zack, menacingly. You stretched casually "Umm... We may have used them to make some Apple Zap Pie and Jam for AJ's birthday. Zack stare at you " You what *sigh* I guess that's fine... Anyways are you two ready for tomorrow " said Zack. Pear butter smiled "Yes we are... We're excited to see our family again" said Pear Butter. Lazuline throws a bottle on Zack "Have some respect dude there older than you" said Lazuline. Zack smiled menacingly "I am being respectful... Even though you touched my Zap apples without calling me" said Zack. Bright Mac "Sorry about that Zack Hehe... Well it's for a good reason anyways" said Bright Mac. Zack Sigh "I said it's fine... I was supposed going to use them to make Zap Apple Pies for the children of Starswirl orphanage but I guess that could wait for 10 and 5 months till my Zap Apple trees bloom again" said Zack. You got shocked "That long seriously????" You said. Lazuline laugh "Ofcourse that long that's why I said their rare" said Lazuline. Then a couple more hours later you went home since it's gonna be a big day tomorrow, when you got to your bed room you saw Rainbow Sleeping on your bed "When did you get here?" You whispered, you smiled and kissed her in the forehead and just slept right beside her. Tomorrow morning when you woke up, you saw Rainbow looking at you while pouting, she seems upset "Good Morning Rainbow" you said. Rainbow head chop you "where did you go last night?" Asked Rainbow. "Well it's a long story" you said, anyway let's get ready we don't want to be late for AJ's party. You kissed Rainbow, and she just started getting all flustered "Whaaaa... I didn't even brushed my teeth yet" said Rainbow. You just giggled and laughed. > Chapter 14: Alone With Rainbow... & Adagio > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It's been a while since You and Rainbow go on a trip together, both of you plan just to be the two of you although fate always find away to bring someone along. Well at least on your first alone with Rainbow trip works out. As you were packing your things, you saw that someone is throwing rocks at your window the moment you opened the window you got hit by a rock "Ow... Who keeps throwing rocks at my window" you said, when you looked down you saw Adagio with Rainbow. Adagio giggles as Rainbow sigh "Sorry Rushie boy... I'm just so bored of waiting" said Adagio. You sigh "I thought that it's just going to be the two us RD" you said. Rainbow crossed her arms as she looked super annoyed "Well lets just say... This woman won't stop calling me, and sending me magical letters. Just to let her go with us" Said Rainbow. Adagio laughed a little "It's not like my idea... Actually it is, since you guys are going to be the same place as I intended to go too, so why not just go together plus they will give a discount if there were three or 4 people checking in" said Adagio. It got your attention "And how much discount was it?" You asked. Adagio giggled "70% off... Good deal right" said Adagio. Rainbow smiled while raising an eye brow "Well we could take advantage of that... But you should get a different cabin" said Rainbow. You lean at your window "It's good deal... To good... Especially the Griffon mountain is Private" you said, with suspicion. Adagio threw a rock "Hurry up already" said Adagio. You just closed the window with annoyance and hurried your packing, then a couple minutes later you went down to greet them "Well here we are... Let's get movin we don't wanna hit any traffic" you said. While the three of you are walking down the road, You saw Flash running towards all of you "Hey guys have you... *gulp... Sigh* seen Zack I have something important to tell him" said Flash. You felt a little bit unease but you didn't bother it for now "Well... His at home you where it is right?" You said. Flash smiled "Oh... Yeah I know where it is thanks" said Flash, then he just continued Running. Adagio scratch her head "What was that all about?" Asked Adagio. Rainbow pat your shoulder "Well... Are we going or what... I really wanna go their" said Rainbow, while pouting. You smiled and pat her head "Okay sweetheart... Come on Adagio" You said, then you just kept walking towards the station. Then after taking two busses you reached Mt. Griffin "This is it Mt. Griffon, legend says Griffons once existed and they live very mountain" said Rainbow. You noticed Adagio looking around... That seems like she can sense something you and Rainbow don't "Something Adagio?" You asked. Adagio sigh "Nothing... Looks like it's not legend I can sense some Griffon essence here... But that not why where here... Where here for their hot springs *Giggles out of joy" LETS GO" Said Adagio. You and Rainbow just laugh, and just entered the lobby to check in. After you check in You, Rainbow and Adagio went your cabins "Well this place isn't so bad... We have our very own cabins and inside our very own private hot springs" said Adagio. Rainbow scratch her head "Huh... I'm very excited to go here but it almost seems like it's just the same as Appaloosa camp" said Rainbow. You hold Rainbow's arm "No... not really I mean look at this... There are two waterfalls, there's dock perfect for fish in and most importantly there's a large grill" You said. Then Adagio suddenly pops in "A GRILL... Perfect for grilled corn" said Adagio. "Crap I forgot Adagio is from another Equestria... How are we supposed going to cook the meat that we brought here" whispered Rainbow. You sigh "Well I guess where going vegan for a couple of days" You said. Adagio sigh "You do realize I'm not a pony right..." Said Adagio. Rainbow scratch "Your maybe a siren but... Your different... Your half pony and half fish" said Rainbow. Adagio eyes widen "Well that's... Where still different from normal pony... But we do just eat fruits, vegetables and bake goods... Just eat what ever you want to eat" said Adagio. You scratch your head "Sooooo.... Kabab's?" You said, then Rainbow just nodded yes. As time passes you noticed that Adagio and Rainbow are getting along just fine "Hmm... I guess bringing her along ain't so bad after all" you said. Then you just continued preparing lunch for all three of you, but you made sure that you make something delicious for Adagio too "Adagio loves grilled corn along with boiled broccoli covered in mayo" said Sonata, that came out of nowhere. You got startled "Where did you come from?" You asked. Then Aria pat your shoulder "We also checked in. In the same cabin as Adagio" said Aria. You just face palmed "Well... Looks like I have to make more salad" you said. Then all of sudden Aria put a tray of vegetables on the table "Here you go... I'm very interested what kind of salad you'll make for us" said Aria. They watch you for a while, and just went to Adagio and Rainbow to greet them, looks like both of them are allo in shocked you just smiled and said in your mind "Surely sooner or later the others will be here too... It always end up like that" you said in your mind. As you were cooking Rainbow Suddenly hugged you from the back "I just wanna spend some time alone with you... Good thing we have our own cabin... I brought some games let's play later okay" said Rainbow. You smiled "Sure... What games did you bring?" You asked. Rainbow put up a big smile "Well... Of course, games that I'm really good at and some games that you might like" said Rainbow. It almost seems like she knows that your never going to beat her on any of those games. As the day passes you, Rainbow and the dazzling's our having fun when all of sudden someone knocked at your door, when you opened the door you got shocked "Hearty?... What are you doing here?" You asked. Hearty smiled "We'll I heard some familiar voices while I was looking around... And I figured that it might be you guys" said HeartyFan. You smiled "Oh... Well would you like to join us where just about play monopoly" you said. Hearty smiled and pat you on your shoulder "Sorry I can't I'm just about to leave anyways... Maybe next time, cya Rush" said HeartyFan, then he just left. "RUUUUUUUUUSH COME ON, IM WINNING HAHA" shouted Adagio. "Be right there" you said, as you scratch your head. Rainbow pouted "Just you wait, when I catch up" said Rainbow, Adagio smiled, and smugged. You can really say much on this day since it's just pretty normal everyone seems like having fun, it may not be the alone time you want with Rainbow. At least all of you had fun... Though you still wonder why Flash is in such hurry to meet up with Zack. > Chapter 15: It was never Goodbye > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It's been a few day's since you, Rainbow, and the dazzling's got back from your little trip and now your back to your usual routine every morning waking up and getting ready for school "Mom... Have you seen my resume" you said. Then your mom smacked you in the head "Geez how irresponsible are you... Losing a resume *sigh* it's on top of the fridge" said your mom, then she just continued to vacuuming the floor. You just laugh nervously as you scratch your head "I won't lose it again" you said. Your mom sigh "Dont forget things that important okay and go to school already your gonna be late you only have 30 min before the bell rings" said your mom, you looked at the time and got shocked. "Oh shi*" you said, then you ran out of the house as fast as you can. While you were running towards the bus stop you saw Zack hopping on to the bus, then you shouted "WAIT" Zack said something to the bus driver that may have cause for them to wait. Zack smirked "We'll someone is just about to get left behind" said Zack. You put your hand on Zack shoulder as you catch your breath "Yeah... Yeah, thanks for making the bus driver wait" you said. Zack sigh "Welcome... I guess anyways hop on before we all get late" said Zack, you hop on the bust and as usual you both sat all the way in the back of the bus. Then you remembered a few days ago that flash was such in hurry to look for Zack "Hey... Zack why was Flash... You know looking for you a few days ago?" You asked. Zack raised an eyebrow as he looked at you "For now it's none of your business sorry... It's a bit complicated ill tell you when I fix it" said Zack. You scratch your head "Huh... Well that is something to be really curious about" you said. Then Zack smiled softly "Dont worry it's really no big deal... But I really have to keep it private" said Zack. You just nod and sigh, then a couple minutes later you and Zack arrived at school just in time before the bell rings "You go ahead I have to go to the garden, wallflower needs me to help her trimming the bushes" said Zack, as he pat you in the back. "Okay cya later then" you said, then you just went to your classroom and sat next to Rainbow Dash. Rainbow smirked at you "Well your almost late" said Rainbow. You sigh "Yeah Yeah... Whats with the smirk" you said, then Rainbow just giggled and held your hand. The day was very normal that you began to get suspicious about the day, "Why do I feel like someones gonna pop out and just drag me" you said, then all of sudden someone pat you in the back. When you turned around you saw Lazuline giving you a sweet and soft smile "Umm... What with you?..." You said. "Hmm... What can't I smile at you" said Lazuline, while pouting. You laughed nervously "No it's not that we'll it's just I'm still not used to seeing this side of you" you said. Lazuline somehow laughed elegantly "Anyways... Do you have a moment, I have something to tell you come with me" said Lazuline, you didn't ask why and where you two would go but you just followed her. After walking for a while looks like she brought you to the place where the both of you first met "Do you remember... When I just pushed you on that swing and laughed at you" said Lazuline. You laughed a little "Yeah... I cried a lot" you said. Lazuline sigh and smiled "The reason why I did that cause I can't stand you... For a reason, and when we reached junior high you know first year and second year, I realized more why I can't stand you, cause I've been ignoring a certain feeling" said Lazuline. You gulped out of nervous since you have feeling where this is going "When I heard that you left... To go study at canter lot high... For some reason it breaks me to hear that you were gone" said Lazuline, you noticed that tears are falling out of eyes. You scrub Lazuline's back "Lazuline... I-" but just before, you get to say on what your going to say Lazuline interrupt you. Lazuline looked at you, you can tell that just by looking on her eyes she knows what your already going to say "I know... I know you loved her... I tried to forget what I'm feeling about you, i tried letting you go but I just can't, and here I am stupid me followed you in this stupid city hoping that you two might have already broken up or something. I'm sorry... I know that you two loved each other deeply, maybe if I just realized it sooner when you were still the same high school as I then maybe we could have ended together. But it's stupid to think about it now, I'm going to leave for a family business trip and go to a different hight school... Maybe if I just stay a way from you and focus on work and studying i could forget about this feeling and move on" said Lazuline. You just looked at the floor and couldn't say anything, then all of sudden Lazuline hugged you "You've always been so nice to me... I will never forget that, do you think we could be friendds again when I get back" said Lazuline. You smiled "Ofcourse... I'll be waiting for you all of us" you said, Lazuline smiled. You both talk a bit more for a couple minutes before saying good bye "Well you won't be seeing me tomorrow feel free to tell our other friends about the business trip that I'm going too" said Lazuline. You smiled softly "Yeah... I will" you said, as you both waved to each other. As you were walking towards home two little girls bump into you since you didn't notice cause your head is filled with questions "I'm so sorry... Are you two ok?" You asked. Looks like one of the girls has a bruise on her knee "Yeah I'm fine... Izzy is just helping walk towards home" said the girl. Izzy help her friend to get up "No your not ok Sunny, you fell from the slide and now your limping" said Izzy. You felt bad and offered them if perhaps you can help "Hey want me to help I can give you a piggy back ride back to your home" you said, yeah real smooth and not creepy at all, you said in your mind to yourself. "Okay... I did noticed Izzy is getting tired of helping me walk" said Sunny. Izzy smiled "Awwww... But it's nothing your my friend and we will always be best friend's Izzy promise" said Izzy, for some reason your getting a Pinkie Pie vibe on her. > Chapter 16: A Possible Strand of Future Part 1 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- While you were sleeping a loud of gasp of wind and then suddenly woke you up, when you opened your eyes you saw that your ceiling has big whole on it that you can see the sky. And when you get up you got shocked, your house is like got split in half you can see the kitchen from down stairs "MOM... DAD!?" You shouted, but no one answered. When you decided to go downstairs, you saw that the stairs are also broken and full splinters "This is a dream, Hehe... A creepy weird dream" you said. You went back to your room once more and changed clothes since it's just right beside your bed and luckily it didn't fell down. Since you had no choice but jump, you aimed at the bushes so you won't hurts your self that much "Eyup... There making it less painfully in the movies... Ouch" you said. You went to Zack house but when you entered the house you can clearly see that there's been some kind of fight here "Zack... Hello... Are you in here" you said, when you entered the kitchen you some dried fluids that you can only assume that it is what you think it is "*Gulp* Hello... If this is some kind of prank this isn't it funny" you said. You sat on a couch as you tried your best to get out of this dream, but deep down you have doubt that this might be not a dream... But how could all of this happened with out you waking up "This isnt it making any sense...." you said. You tried contacting Rainbow but she won't answer, you tried one more time but again no one answered "Damn it" you said. You decided to go, to Canterlot high in the middle of the night as you get closer you noticed that there is a wall around the building and the wall is full of barbed wires "What the hell... Okay... Okay... This isn't happening nope I'm not going in there" you said, the moment you turned around someone knocked you out. As you were waking up you hear to people talking and their voices were familiar as you looked at them you recognized them it's a big blurry but you can recognized them. Twilight slammed something in the table "I told you Rainbow Dash his not a changeling" said Twilight. Rainbow punch a whole in the whole "Rush is dead... We buried him... you know that, so the only explanation that detector of yours is broken and this thing is just a scum changeling" said Rainbow, then she approached you and grabbed you by the neck and lift you up. When you look at her you saw that she's crying her eyes is full of sadness, pain, stress and anger "Pls... Pls stop using his image... or else I'm literally going to kill you" said Rainbow. When she lowered you down a little bit you grabbed her cheek and looked at her in the eyes "ahhh... I see, I'm still at that darn cave am I... Im sorrh if your hurt and im sorry if you felt alone I wish I have some answers on what's going on, Do you Remember on when the both of us went to camp apploosa your so clumsy that you had a scar on your right hip" you said, she let go of you and then you dropped on the floor. When you at Rainbow she looked shocked & confused"How could you know that... Rush promised me not to tell that to anyone you... How could it be that you could be possibly him..." Then she just left the room as she was leaving you noticed that she has a metal arm. Twilight rushed towards you and helped you to get up "Look I'm.. I'm sorry but I promised you I don't know what's going on" you said. Twilight smiled "I know... I believe you... And also believe but I think this is what Zack is talking about before... *gulped* nevermind you don't have to know" said Twilight, then she looked a away. You grabbed her cheeks and make her looked at you "Twilight... Before what? Pls tell me" you said. Twilight sigh "Before he got caught in the explosion he was able to toss Sunset into a river but don't worry you can prevent this from happening" said Twilight, then you noticed that you started glowing. You looked at Twilight "What's going on... What's happening?" You said. Twilight smiled "Find him... And stopped him" said Twilight. You got confused and scared "Who... Who do I have to stop?" You said, but just before she can speak everything went white then suddenly you felt that you fell. When you opened your eyes your back on you bed and this time looks like everything is okay... For now. You went down stairs and you saw your parents just hanging out in the living room you told them that your just going out to see Zack. The moment you arrived at Zack door stepped the door suddenly opened "Rush... What are you doing here do you need something?" Said Zack, but you just hugged him. Zack hugged back almost seems like he felt what your feeling "Okay buddy tell me what going on" said Zack, as he pulled out then he stepped a side and opened his door wide open. When you two sat on the couch you explained everything to him every single detail that you can remember "Zack you have to believe me" You said. Zack touch his chin "I believe you... So I died huh... You also died *sigh* to be honest with you I'm extremely clueless right now... You traveling to the future is just random so to say... But I do have a plan right now and it's pretty much including you traveling to the future again but this time by force and not random" said Zack. He stood up and started mumbling some kind of language as he stretched his arms forward. Then all of sudden a portal appeared in the middle of the living room "Go in now... I can only hold this for a minute and don't worry... Here take this card the moment you entered this portal the hour glass picture will start moving overall you only have two days to stay their and get us much information as you can get... Now go" said Zack, you nodded and jumped in. Your ears are ringing and your vision is blurry but good thing it faded fast, when you looked around you noticed that you inside the gymnasium, of canter lot high. As you were walking towards the exit you noticed that someone is right behind you, when you turned around, you saw Rainbow Dash looking at you with teary eyes and it looks like a mix of joy and sadness, she rushed towards you and hugged you. > Chapter 17: Zack's birthday > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Its 6:30 am and your having a cup of coffee when all of sudden Rainbow called you, you picked up "Hello" you said. Rainbow yawned "Hey Rush come over to Sunsets place, she want all of us to be there except for Zack for some reason" said Rainbow. You finished up your coffee fast as you get dressed, and rushed to the bus stopped wishing not bump in to Zack. And when you arrived at Sunsets place she immediately locked the door "Okay... Sunset what is the fuss all about and why do you need all of us here?" Said Rainbow. Sunset sigh "Are you guys serious... Today is Zack birthday, come on guys" said Sunset. Wait today is Zacks birthday "Ohhhh dear... Here we go again... Darling if your planning a big surprise party scrap it we all know Zack preferred to keep things simple when it comes to him" said Rarity. Sunset sigh once more "I know that... But do you remember when it was birthday he knew everything like and made it the best birthday party ever... And this is kinda embarrassing to say but... I still a little clueless about what he teally likes" said Sunset. Apple Jack giggled "Zack pretty much just tell the things he likes when you ask... But I know one of the things he likes a brand new baked Apple Pie home made" said Apple Jack. Then Rainbow raised her hand "Ouu I also know something that Zack likes... He likes Fruit smoothie" said Rainbow. Sunset is smiling "Uh-huh... And does anyone know anything else that something he likes... What about you HeartyFan" said Sunset. HeartyFan suddenly looked nervous "Hehe... I actually don't remember..." Said HeartyFan. Rainbow sigh "Your the first person and longest friend Zack had... How could you not remember anything" said Rainbow. HeartyFan just laughed nervously "Sorry...." Said HeartyFan, well you guess it's pretty hard to avoid forgetting even though little odd that he can't remember anything Zack likes. Rarity raised her hand "Well since we know that Zack likes to keep things simple for himself why not we spice things up a bit while keeping some simplicity" said Rarity. You raised your hand "Well I'm also have an idea... Well since Surely Sunset is the most precious person to Zack why don't we give you a total make over... Well Rarity will handle that while the rest of us starts preparing" you said. Sunset raised an eyebrow with visible confusion "So while you guys do all the work while Rarity give me a makeover... No no... I don't think so plus Zack just want me to do me you know... Just be me and alsoi dont think it's necessary" said Sunset. When you turned around you noticed that Zack was standing by the door slowly leaving the house and closing door when he noticed you looking at him.He hinted you to keep quiet "Jesus... Now everything is pretty spoiled" you said in you head. And after a long planning and a long preparing Sunset told you to get Zack over her place the moment you left the house you suddenly felt bad for Sunset that her surprise is no longer surprise since Zack knows it now. You went to Zacks place to get him "Zack are in their" you said, he opened the door and told you to come in. Zack sigh and smiled "Not gonna lie I pretty much knew she was going to plan something since yesterday... And to be honest I'm always looking forward to it despite me knowing *sigh*... I remember last year when she planned something just for the two of us, when I got back home I saw her sitting of my couch and on the table are a bunch of failed pastries and other food even though they looked burned they still tasted okay" said Zack. You sigh "Why you didn't you told me about your birthday I was actually been wondering about it but you never said anything about it" you said. Zack laughed a little "We'll maybe because you never asked... I wonder what you guys did today come on I'm actually I'm actually excited" said Zack. When you two areived, Everyone suddenly shouted Happy Birthday, when you looked at Zack his eyes were a little teary "Aww... Thank you guys, I like what you did to this place it's naturie" said Zack. You can't stopped looking around since nothing here is showing some simplicity it's extremely way over the top "*giggles did I went over the top?" Said Rarity, nervously. Zack smiled "No not at all" said Zack. "Is he acting... I can't really tell" you said, in your mind. Then Sunset came out of the kitchen with a new baked ice cream cake "Happy Birthday Zack... I know how much you love Ice cream cake, it may be not as good as the one your buying from Sugar cube corner but I think it's okay" said Sunset, with a hint of worried. Zack took a fork and tasted it, and his face says it all, with that cute and girly face his making and why is his eyes are sparkling "This is so good" said Zack, then he took another bite. Flutter why giggled "Slow down Zack... You haven't even blow the candle yet" said Flutter shy. And then all of sudden Sunset kissed Zack "Happy Birthday sweetie" said Sunset, Zack smiled and hugged her. "Hey Zack... So how old are you now?" Said Apple Jack. Zack scratch her head "Hehe... I'm 119 years old... Equivalent to 19 years old here, so meaning I'm 19" said Zack. All of you just drop your jaw, except for Sunset since looks like she already knew. Then all of sudden Pinkie pie spammed the ice cream cake with candles "There we go one hundred and nineteen candles" said Pinkie Pie. You face palmed "That will surely melt the ice cream Pinkie Pie" you said. Zack's birthday, was pretty normal like how you celebrate your birthday simple gathering and simple foods and looks like no alcohol this time "Hey where's the booze" said Rainbow. Twilight suddenly pulled a wine out of her back pack "Who wants some wine, well it's Zero alcohol but it pretty good" said Twilight. Seriously that clearly said 12%... Ugh never mind, well here we go again "Yeahhhh, bring out the ice" said Rainbow. Oh God... Pls no more explosive. > Chapter 18: Welcome To Equestria > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It's another sem-break and it looks like Zack arranged a little trip for all of you l, but he said that his going to reveal it where we going once we all meet up at Canterlot high. And now you thinking aboutt it, it's probably going to be a cruise or maybe a trip to a private island, does he even have a private island. When you arrived in front of Canterlot High you saw your friends waiting on the side of the course statue, When Rainbow noticed you, you waved your hand "RUSH" Shouted Rainbow, as she was waving and smiling at you. And after you crossed the road, Rainbow suddenly jumped and hugged you "Hey... *giggles* you seem in a good mood today" you said. Rainbow blushed "Hehe... I'm just excited" said Rainbow. Then a couple minutes later Zack arrived "There you are, you two... So where are we going?" Asked Rarity. Pinkie Pie jumped around "Yeah... The wait is killing us" said Pinkie Pie. Zack giggled "Okay... Okay, we are going to Equestria not this Equestria but the pony world Equestria" said Zack. Everyone got shocked including you "Equestria!? But isn't it dangerous" you said. Zack raise an eyebrow "And how is it exactly dangerous?" Asked Zack. You sigh "I dunno... Maybe it cause some kind of a paradox" you said. Zack's sigh "No... Not really I said it before it won't cause anything dangerous, I just remembered and i still find it hilarious when we accidentally switch this world Lyra with the pony version of her" said Zack, as he laughed. Rainbow let out of a sigh of happiness "Ahhh... Memories it's been a while since we last transform into a super hero" said Rainbow. Sunset giggled "Yeah it is been a while... Who knows maybe we can transform again like sailor moo-" said Sunset, but just before she get to finish Pinkie Pie interrupted. "No...nope... Nope nopie we can't say that" said Pinkie Pie, as she skip around the portal. Zack scratches his head "What just happened... Anyways who's ready I have tons of list where we can go to our first stop Crystal Empire... I manipulated where the portals gonna go so, we don't have to worry bumping into your counter parts" said Zack. Sunset looked shocked "You can do that!?" Asked Sunset. Zack smiled "Yeah... With the right spell... Which I actually made anyways here we go" said Zack, as he jumped into the portal. Every single one of you looked at each other Without any hesitation you jumped next "ugh... I will never get used to that feeling of spiraling around" you said. Zack laughed and when you looked him, he has a horn and wings "So that's what alicorn looks like" you said. "Funny enough, you have also have a horn" said Zack. "A horn!?... I don't have this before" you said. Zack raised an eyebrow "You don't?... Huh interesting" said Zack, then all of sudden all of your friends appeared from the portal. Rarity and Apple Jack gasp "We're... PONIES!!!" said both of them. Sunset giggled "Ofcourse you are that is supposed to happen" said Sunset. "Alright everyone follow me... I already book us on an inn not that far from here also lay low... Princess Twilight and her friends are very well known here" said Zack. And of course everyone... In this case every pony recognized them and it kinda get tough to get to the inn cause of all the ponies gathering around. When all of you got inside the inn, you all hot exhausted "We're alive.... whew" said Pinkie Pie. Zack took a deep breath "Well that didn't go as planned but at least we made it... Somehow" said Zack. Looks like everypony got there own rooms. It's the middle of the morning and looks like everypony decided to just stay in the inn for now and go tomorrow for the attraction here... Where ever this is. You decided to go for a walk out side and your breath is still taken by how beautiful this place is "Wow... This place is amazing" you said. When all of sudden someone called you dad "Dad... I thought you were with Mom back at the castle along with Princess Twilight and their other friends?" Said the pony. You got confused "Umm... I'm sorry uhh... Dad? Who are you?" You asked? The pony pouted "It's me Dad... Sunny shine Blitz... You know I hate that joke" said Sunny shine Blitz. You even confused "Sunny shine wha-" you said, but just before you get to finish Zack flew down. "There you are Rush... Oh... Hey Sunny long time" said Zack, nervously. Sunny looked so excited "Prince Zackodia"said Sunny, as she rushed to him and hugged him. Zack hinted you to go back to the hotel and you did " Is the pony version of me... Is already married" you said, in your mind as you ran towards the inn. When you entered your room you saw Rainbow Dash waiting for you "Hey Rainbow... What are you doing here?" You asked. Rainbow looks nervous "Well I don't really feel comfortable being alone... Well mostly because where ponies right now... Do you mind If i stay always sleep with you" said Rainbow. You smiled "I don't mind... I'm still pretty much getting used to this" you said. You sat down next Rainbow and then she leans at you "I wonder what kind of food are we gonna eat here... I'm pretty sure everything will be plant based" said Rainbow. You saw some pastries on your way back and it got thinking, are they pure wheat or they also use eggs... But if they do does that mean... Nah it's not possible is it. The night comes you and Rainbow went to bed after a heavy lunch "Aww man... That salad is quite good actually" you said. Rainbow buried and sigh "It's good but... I'm craving for some steak right now" said Rainbow. Then a couple hours later, you can't still sleep... You thought that you were just getting home sick but looking at Rainbow looks like she sleeping just fine "I wonder... If the pony version of myself married Rainbow Dash well the pony version of her" you said. Tomorrow morning when you woke up, Rainbow was still asleep you kissed her on the fore head then you went out to get some coffee in the inn's cafeteria when you got there, you saw Zack already having a cup of coffee. You smiled and sat right next to him "So did you get some good sleep?" You asked. Zack yawned "Quite I almost forgot how to lay down properly as a pony" said Zack. You ordered some coffee "Hey Zack... Why did that pony yesterday called me Dad?" You asked. Zack sigh "Seriously... If your wondering who's the mother it's obviously Rainbow... Oh also the pony version of yourself name is different its Sora el Fire or somethin like that" said Zack. You got shocked "What... Huh I that was supposed to be my name... But my mother didn't like it and change it to Emerald Rush looks like in this world dad won on naming me well at least my pony version self" you said. Zack laughed "I didn't know that well... You learn something new every day" said Zack. You smiled "Sunny shine Blitz... It has a nice ring to it" you said.l, Zack smiled and shaped his head. Zack pat you I the back "I'm sure that your gonna be a great dad... Someday" said Zack. > Chapter 19: A Possible Strand Of future Part 2 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- You let Rainbow Dash Hugged you as you hugged back, you pat her back "I missed you... So much" said Rainbow. "But I'm... Not you Rush..." You said, Rainbow pulled out. She put her hands on your cheeks "You Are... Twilight recently found out that our universe are one but it just got split in to two" said Rainbow. You got confused and shocked "How is that even possible?" You asked. When all of sudden Twilight came out of nowhere" Meaning our universe that got split is an imperfect copy of the original" said Twilight. You scratch you head "My Universe and this universe but how... And when did our universe formed then" you said. Twilight sigh and gulped "It's the moment when Rainbow did the Sonic Rainboom and if we don't find away to get into the original universe to stopped this event I'm afraid if this event occur to the original timeline our universe will disintegrate" Twilight said. You thought of something"If... This hasn't happened to the original universe yet... So it like that our timeline like just a script?" You said. Twilight touch her chin "Something like that... It makes sense but in the same time it doesn't. If our universe is just script then what's the point us existing, knowing about this kind of things" said Twilight. Then all of sudden someone entered the gym "It means we have to stop him... We have to warn our original selves from Hearty Fan... Aka *cough" Chrysalis" said Zack, You, Twilight, and Rainbow dash got shocked when you saw this worlds Zack... His all dirty and his bleeding then he just collapsed on the floor. You rushed towards him "Are you ok?" You said worryingly. Zack smiled "My other self must have sent you... Just as planned" said Zack. You got confused once more "Just as planned... You both knew about it?" You asked. Zack sigh "Ofcourse... We are one but got split into to worlds and our soul is still one... So instead of standing their can someone get me a doctor I'm dying here" said Zack, while smiling. You both look at each other and laughed, then a couple hours later, you decided to meet up with Sunset... Well this worlds Sunset "Hey... How-" you said, but just before you get to finished what your saying she attacked you and punch you in the face. Sunset looks furious "How did you get in here you changeling" asked Sunset. You wipe the blood coming out of your nose "Not a changeling I'm from another timeline... The Zack in my timeline sent me here" you said. Sunset got shocked "Another timeline..." Said Sunset. You put your hand on Sunset shoulder "Twilight and I will explain later... But for now maybe you should go and visit Zack... Well this worlds Zack he just appeared out of nowhere and we brought him into the infirmary his in a critical condition" you said. Sunset eyes widen and ran as fast she could "How on earth Zack can endure her punch ow... It's still painful" you said. You also rushed to infirmary you saw Sunset hugging him, and looks like Zacks is still unconscious "This must an extreme for her" said Twilight. You nodded "Well... How about you, you know knowing that Chrysalis took form of Hearty" you said. Twilight just giggled and sigh... Looks like she's trying to hold her emotion "It all makes sense now... So that's why he's always been acting off forgetting things that he will never forget" said Twilight. You put your arms around Twilight "It's okay too cry you know, you have the right to do so if you keep that heavy feeling that your feeling right now it might break you and you don't deserve that you deserve better.... You deserve to be happy..." You said. Twilight put her head at your chest and hugged you and slowly started crying, you scrub you hair as you hug her "It's okay... Just cry it all out" you whisper. A couple minutes later Twilight pulled out "Thanks... For comforting me" said Twilight. You smiled and pat her head "Anytime... Where friends after all" you said. Twilight took a deep breath "Okay... I have a plan but Zack can only do It, our Zack can't do it right now... So can we call yours" asked Twilight. You laughed nervously "I actually don't know if I can contact him" you said, the all of sudden a portal opened. Zack emerged into the portal "Dont worry I already know everything... Im actually listening to you guys" said Zack. You got surprised "You what?" You said, then Zack just started glowing. Zack eyes widen "Oh shit... I forgot the reason why I can't stepped here is I will merge with my other half... Oh well" said Zack. You got shocked "But who will remain I mean who's going to be who? And why are you so calm?" You asked. Zack just smiled as he started to merge with this world Zack "It's beginning every single soul in this separated world will begin to merge" said Zack. The moment he disappeared, this world's Zack woke up "We have to hurry" said Zack. Sunset woke up "Zack you're awake" said Sunset, and hugged him. "Hurry for what?" Asked Twilight. Zack gulped "It's beginning the Chrysalis in the original timeline is already starting to form her army" said Zack. Sunset stood up "What should we do?" Said Sunset. Zack opened up a portal, and it's a different portal this time it's aura is much more stronger "I can't go in with you guys... I have to stay still if you don't want to get trap go warn them" said Zack. You, Twilight, and Rainbow that just entered the room went into the portal. (Back to the original timeline, your real point of view. Location Equestria Pony world) While you and Zack are having a chat in the cafeteria a portal suddenly opened and familiar faces started to emerge from the portal. Zack stood in front of it and made his horn glow "Rush go warn the others about this possible threat" said Zack, you just nodded and ran. > Chapter 20: Hearty Fan > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- As the wind breeze into the depths of the cave in the valley of the damn, Hearty Fan still trapped on one of Chrysalis cocoon's. Hanging from the ceiling, but despite all that, he was still able to have a happy dream. (1 year after Zack and Hearty Fan met) Hearty Fan woke up, from the sound of his alarm clock as he slowly get up he saw Zack, sitting by his window. Hearty Fan Got shocked "Gahh... Yuzu... What are you doing here?" Hearty Fan asked. Zack giggled as he went down from window "I've been waiting for you to wake up" said Zack. Hearty Fan took a deep breath "Let me guess... You still have no place to go after you got kicked out from your apartment" said Hearty Fan. Zack nervously laughed "Well... And who's fault that again..." Said Zack as he smirked. Hearty Fan sigh "Fine... Fine you can stay here at my place but only till you can find somewhere to live in" said Hearty Fan, Zack smiled, that made Hearty also smiled. Hearty told Zack to wait downstairs, so that Hearty can clean houself up. When he went downstairs he was surprised "Mornin... Hearty your girlfriend here made us breakfast how sweet is that... Um also who let her in?" Said Electric Fan. Origami Fan giggled, her wife "I let her in dear" said Origami Fan, Hearty Fan face palmed, when he looked at Zack he was trying to hold his laughter. Hearty Fan continued to walk into the kitchen and sat down with his parents and Zack "I hope you enjoy dear..." Said Zack, as he evily smiled. Hearty Fan sigh once more out of embarrassment "Yuzu... Pls stop this" said Hearty. Zack laughed "I'm so sorry... *laughes* I couldn't help my self... Umm Hearty Fan's parents my name is Yuzuru Zackodia... And I'm his bestfriend *ahem* and I'm also a guy" said Zack. Origami and Electric was shocked "You're a guy?" Said both of them, then they look at each other " Is our son gay?" Whispered Origami. Electric gulped "Dear... We both know his not... But I could totally see why he might be" said Electric. Hearty Fan got so embarrassed that he shouted "MOM, DAD IM NOT LIKE THAT" said Hearty Fan, Zack sat down next to him. Zack was smirking "Sorry... I may have gone a little bit over board" said Zack. Hearty Fan sigh "Ya think" said Hearty Fan. Zack smiled "Anyways... Is the food good?" Asked Zack. Hearty Fan took a bite "Yeah... It's pretty good actually what's in it?" Hearty Fan asked. Zack touch his chins "It's just a normal salad... With some equestrian spices... I just gave your mother loads of them" said Zack. Hearty Fan's eyes widen "You what?... What are those spices?" Hearty Fan asked. Zack just put loads of salad in his mouth "Pls at least tell me it's safe for us to consume" you whispered, Zack just simply nodded yes that gave Hearty Fan a sigh of relief. After they had breakfast Hearty Fan went to his father's shop along with Zack "Okay where here... But don't touch anything" said Hearty Fan, When he turned around he saw Zack putting together a watch that his father trying to fix "And done... Hmm its a little pretty" said Zack. Hearty Fan looked at the watch "Woah... You fixed it, my father would be happy that he has already something he can check out as done. Say wanna help out in the shop for the meantime" said Hearty Fan. Zack gave Hearty a big smile "Okie dokie..." Said Zack, a couple hours later while Hearty Fan was working he noticed that the watch's arrow started spinning really fast and stopped at north, when he tried to turn it around, the arrow keeps pointing to north as if it's acting like compass. When he walk forward a little bit the gem in the arrow glow slightly. Since he got curious he decided to go where the arrow was pointing "Zack I'm just gonna go and by some supplies" said Hearty Fan, Zack shouted okay. As he was walking towards the north side of the town he noticed that it's like taking him to the forest "Huh... Maybe I should tell Zack about this... But hmm... Nope Im already this far... no going back" said Hearty Fan. When Hearty was finally in the forest the glowing gem took him to a lake "Is there supposed to be something here" said Hearty Fan, he walked around the lake to see if he can spot something but no luck. When he looked at the watch again looks like it's pointing on another direction, so he decided to follow it once more. As Hearty got closer to another lake the gem's glow started to faint, the moment his feet touch the water he suddenly felt an immense aura surrounding him "Why... Does this feel so familiar" the moment he said words something drag him down into depths of the lake. At that moment he came face to face with a serpent like dragon, a Bakunawa mesmarized by the goargous look of the creature that he forgot that he was underwater he felt like his body is light as a feather, Hearty was hypnotized by the creature and he was dinner. But just before the creature got bite out of him another Bakunawa saved him and dragged him into the shore "What an idiot... You could have died" said the creature. When they thought they were safe the other Bakunawa resurfaced "What do you think... Your doing Valentina" said the creature, when the creature looked at Hearty he saw the gem that is in the watch. The creature grined "I see... So you came here to make a contract with the lowest class... Poor choice my boy" said the creature. Hearty Fan gulped as fear went down his spine "What the heck is going on here" said Hearty Fan. Valentina looked at him as magical force field began to form around them "Just stay calm and listen to me... Do you accept this contract" said Valentina. Hearty Fan looks confused "What... What are you talking about... What contract?" Said Hearty Fan. Valentina grabbed Hearty Fan by the collar "Dont play around... If you really don't know fine ill tell you... If you followed my gem or any gem of a Bakunawa that means you are willing to take the risk of this contract... If you aret i will be by your side until the day you die or at least at the very moment where I have to sacrifice my self for you and if you decline I will have to eat a part of you or you will give me your most precious memories" said Velentina. Hearty Fan thinked carefully "If I accept now what will happen?" Asked Hearty Fan. The other Bakunawa laughed "why did you leave the most important detail... Listen to me human we are basically gods... If we form a bond with human our soul will be one if she dies you will die too" said the Bakunawa, he laughed as he tried to blast both of you. But when both of you was just about you get him something deflected it "Well... This is surprising.."said Zack. Hearty Felt a relief to see Zack " HEY!!... Do you accept or not" said Valentina. Hearty gulped "Yes... I accept" said Hearty, Valentina started to glow and transformed into a human being, Hearty Fan got shocked when she saw Valentina, she's like a goddess. Zack rushed to Hearty Fan "Well you have a new friend... Looks like I accidentally switch the watches arrow with the other one in my pocket" said Zack. Hearty Fan pulled Zack's ears "Did you did that on purpose" said Hearty Fan. Zack sigh as he smiled "You just made a contract with a Bakunawa... It's something I never expected your gonna be cable of summoning her at will... I'm surprised you didn't explode your soul must be strong, I'm actually supposed to gift you the arrow piece but I guess fate just gave it to you" said Zack. Hearty Fan stood up "First a magical pony that came from another world now a Bakunawa" said Hearty Fan. Zack also stood up "Hey it's not like it's gonna get worse" said Zack, but the moment he said that, the two Bakunawa started fighting each other. Zack giggled nervously, but it looks like the fight is not gonna last long, the other Bakunawa retreated at Valentina's second attack "COWARD" shouted Valentina. Valentina flew down in front of Zack and Hearty Fan "Hearty Fan... That's your name right, My name is Tia Valentina a class F dragon, elementary lvl but don't underestimate me I could still put up a fight" said Valentina. Hearty Fan looked at Zack "Why did she call me master?" Asked Hearty Fan. Zack sigh "Basically she is now your umm... How should I put this... Body guard but with a catch if she dies you die" said Zack. Valentina kneeld "I swore to you... I will protect you and serve you and my loyalty to you will be unbreakable, I will be your humble servant for the rest of your life" said Valentina. Hearty being overwhelmed by the situation couldn't say anything "Master?..." Said Valentina worryingly. Zack pat Valentina in the shoulder "Dont worry his fine... His just taking it all in" said Zack. Valentina eye's widen "Your Zackodia... Yuzuru Zackodia" said Valentina. Zack stepped aways a little bit "Okay... How did you know my name... Oh right Your a God... Of some sort" said Zack. Hearty Fan pat Valentina in the head "Tia... Let's get along shall we?" Said Hearty Fan, with a warm welcoming smile and tone, that melted Valentina's heart she smiled with a little tear on her eye. A few days have passed, Valentina is living with Hearty Fan along with his family, and as for Zack he found a new place to live in the City of Equestria. (Back to the cave in the valley of the damn) Hearty Fan was still trapped in the cocoon, and luckily Valentina was finally able to find him since even though there soul is one if there's tracking each other is still going to be hard "Hearty!" Said Valentina, worryingly as she set him free. Tears have fallen out of Valentina's eyes as she hold Hearty cheeks "Pls... Pls wake up" said Valentina. Valentina burst into crying thinking that she might be to late, Hearty Fan woke and touched Valentinas cheek "You still worry too much huh" said Hearty Fan, with a kidding tone. Valentina was surprised, she hugged him as she smiles "Thank goodness... Your okay..." Said Valentina. Hearty Fan tried to stand up and Valentina helped him "Pls careful" said Valentina. Hearty Fan smiled "Dont worry I'm fine... Just a little dizzy... How's the others?" Asked Hearty Fan. Valentina smiled "There okay...as a matter of fact they are looking for you at this very moment Chrysalis wasn't able to fool them for long. Hearty Fan let out a sigh of relief " Thats good to hear... We should head back and look for them don't really wanna keep them looking for me" said Hearty Fan. Valentina giggled "Yeah... Of course we can't really hide it forever that I'm a Bakunwa sooner or later they will find out anyway" said Valentina. Little did both of them Know that Twilight and Rush was standing right behind them, shocked and confused as to why the Bakunawa just transformed into Lazuline and rescued Hearty Fan. Twilight dropped her Flashlight "Hearty..." Said Twilight, worryingly. > Chapter 21: Chrysalis > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- You were shocked to see that a huge creature just transforms into Lazuline, the moment Twilight dropped her flash light, Lazuline and Hearty Fan immediately turned around "Twilight.... You're here, im so glad to see you, I've missed you much" said Hearty Fan. Twilight burst into tears "I'm sorry... If I only noticed sooner" said Twlight, as she cries. Lazuline approached you slowly as she was looking directly into your eyes "Are... You afraid?" Asked Lazuline. You gulped "I wasn't really scared... But I was shocked and surprised and I'm still processing all of this" you said, then you poked Lazuline's nose. Lazuline got flustered "You... You're... Your an idiot" said Lazuline, as she blushed while pouting. Yeah giggled "It's nice to see you again... So all this time your a serpent like dragon?" You asked. Lazuline sigh then smiled "To be exact I'm a Bakunawa... A deity of the underworld and sea" said Lazuline. You and Twilight got shocked "A GOD!!!!!" Said by both of you. Lazuline laughed "Your faces... There priceless it's actually a bit annoying since Zack never had the same reaction... Even though he knew exactly what i am from the very beggining" said Lazuline. Zack appeared out of nowhere "Thats because it's not the first time I've seen one... Not to mention i fought for my life while protecting a couple children during my first encounter" said Zack. You, Hearty, Twilight, and Lazuline got startled "what do you mean fought for your life... Also when did get here" said Twilight. Zack smiled "I just arrived... Also do you remember that other Bakunawa during your first encounter Hearty?. His name was Darius supremo, my first encounter with him... Was in a orphange--- I'm pretty sure you get the idea on what happened their" said Zack, looks like the subject is to sensitive, he looks sad and angry at the same time. Zack smiled once more "Anyways... We should head back... Nice to you again Hearty, how was your long nap" said Zack, in a joking tone. You can't help it but to think about what just Zack said, an orphange could it be that... You thought that you should just forget about it "So that we found Hearty Fan... The real one, and where can we find Chrysalis?" You asked. Zack gulped "I'm afraid that... I still have no clue, I just recently found out that Chrysalis obtain the knowledge about the multiverse... If we don't stop her in time I'm afraid that we have to fight other things just to get to her... And i just hope that she will stay away from a universe where canibalistic ponies exist" said Zack. You, Hearty, Agua, and Twilight felt fear in your veins "Then we don't have time to lose" said Hearty Fan. Then all of sudden Rainbow Dash appeared "Guys we have a problem... Its chrysalis she... Whoa what is Lazuline wearing?" Said Rainbow. You rushed to Rainbow "What happened? What about Chrysalis?" You asked, with nervous tone. Rainbow shook her head "Right... Umm she just revealed her self in the middle of the city and she was surrounded by some kind of magical gems" said Rainbow Dash. Zack's eyes widen the moment he heard what Rainbow said "I'll meet you in the city" said Zack, as he vanished into thin air. You and the others got shocked "What just happened?" Said Lazuline. Hearty Fan and Twilight just ran "No time to explain on how did that let's go" said Hearty Fan, as he was running, you, Agua and Rainbow Dash followed. The moment all of you got into the RV Agua immediately drove as fast she. You approached Hearty Fan "Do you know what gems Rainbow was talking about?" You asked. Hearty sigh and looked at you "I'm afraid that... If Chrysalis activated those gems at midnight, she will have the power to rewrite this universe or jump to another" said Hearty Fan. You just sat down and think about what you can do to help. When you reached the city all the people was running away in fear, car exploding everywhere and some building are about to collapse. As the RV you were in drove around the city you saw Zack, with a lot of wounds and using his body as a shield, Protecting Sunset, scootaloo, Applebloom and Sweetybelle. All of you hop out of the RV and was about to rush to Zack but your other friends stop all of you "WAIT!! DON'T GET TO CLOSE" said Apple Jack, while leaning to a lamp and holding her broken arm. Then you saw Pinkie and Rarity looks like their planning something. You thinked hard what should you do, you looked up and saw Chrysalis she keeps blasting Zack none stop "Sh** what should I do... I'm useless... Damn it" you said, as you punch a dent to the RV. When you looked at your hand, you were shocked to see it's glowing "What is this?" You said. Then you looked at Zack, you saw it in his eyes he was at his limit, his about to collapse. Chrysalis turned her attention to you "Well what do we have here..." Said Chrysalis, as she laughed. Chrysalis floated you, when you looked down you saw Zack completely collapsed "You don't have to do this" you said. Chrysalis smiled "Oh!... But I want to" said Chrysalis, you looked into her eyes and it's the same as the last you saw her, it's full of sadness. You held her, and the moment you held her, you saw her memories. Chrysalis with a disability and her rich mothers looks disappointed "Uriel take this child away" said the mother. And she ordered the maid to bring her to his grandpa since she doesn't want anything to do with her. As she grew up her life was pretty normal, despite not being be able to talk, the moment she was old enough his grandpa told her everything. Chrysalis began to cry, and the next day his grandpa passed away leaving another scar on her heart. Sadness and anger filled her heart and decided to take revenge but she never had the courage. When she found out about the existent of magical artifact that is believe that can heal anything, she went out and looked for it, it was said that it's located on a pyramid in the myddle of a dessert. When she found the artifact she was happy and held it immediately and it's true it did heal her, she can finally talk but in exchange it turned her into a bug monster, but she didn't care and too her revenge on her mother. But despite fulfilling her desire her heart was still full of sadness. You held her cheek "Your heart was still full of sadness and anger, despite fullfilling your revenge" you said. Chrysalis eyes widen "How... Did you know that... Who are you?" Chrysalis asked. You smiled "Chrysalis... I know that your in pain... losing a love one... being rejected by a love one it's enough to break anybody...but I know that you can get over it and live normally again" you said. Chrysalis chocked you "Then what live again miserably not being be able to talk... Not being loved I don't even have single friend" said Chrysalis. You kept smiling "Then I'll be your friend... We all will be your friend" you said. Chrysalis giggled "How can you exactly do that... Despite everything I did, are you blind I cannot be saved" said Chrysalis. You grabbed one of the gems, then the other gems began to lose it's power "No... Your still savable... You still have good in you heart, i know you do" you said, then you fell started falling. As you fall down you looked at Chrysalis and gave her a big smile, her tears began to come out of her eyes, then flew down and catched you "Your insane..." Said Chrysalis, she slowly flew down. Rainbow rushed to you and hugged you "Thank God your alright" said Rainbow Dash, with a trembling voice. You hugged her back "Dont worry I'm fine" you said, then all of sudden, Rainbow went in front of you. Chrysalis kneeled "Forgive me... I just don't know what to do anymore, I lost the most dearest person to me, after I found out that my own mother rejected me just because of not being be able to talk. I got angry and I... *sniff* I deserved what ever punishment you will give me" Said Chrysalis. Agua stepped in "Oh I will give you a punishment alright" said Agua, then she held her head, and all of sudden Chrysalis began to change, she's becoming human once again. Agua smirked "Your Punishment... Is to learn friendship from all of us" said Agua. Zack laughed "Now you decided to act like a goddess took you a while *Coughed 2x*) said Zack. You noticed that your pocket is glowing when you reached out to you pocket you saw Sunset's geode " Ohhh... So this is how I was able to see her memory... How the heck did this end up in my pocket anyways" You said. Zack giggled "I may... Or may not stole it from Sunset this morning while she was at the bathroom" said Zack. Sunset pinched Zacks cheeks "I've been looking for it... All morning" said Sunset. You smiled and hand it over to Sunset, and then you offered your hand to Chrysalis. Chrysalis eyes widen with joy "Why... Do you forgive me that easily?" Asked Chrysalis. You helped get her to stand up "Cause despite... What you did, you still deserve a second chance and where willing to give it to you" you said. Chrysalis burst into tears and hugged you "Thank you" said Chrysalis. 3 months later, everything was back to normal and Chrysalis is now also going to your school "Hey Rush... Am I late?" Chrysalis asked. You looked at your watch and she was just in time "No... Your just in time... But we really don't have any class today so we will just have a band Practice. Do you wanna join us?" You said, Chrysalis smiled as her eyes sparkled, and she nodded yes. > Chapter 22: Double Trouble > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It's been a year since Chrysalis, and you still can't believe that you were able to wield magic, you thought that maybe it's because of your unicorn counter part. As usual you just went on your normal day, and went to school, but when you got there you saw that Rainbow wasn't their, she was always first to arrive "Huh... I guess I got here first" you said, then you just sat down. The first class session starts and Rainbow was still nowhere to be seen "Maybe she's just late" you said in you mind. The second, and third session past and now it's Recess "Where is she?" You said, then Hearty Fan, approached you. Hearty looks worried "Have you seen Lazuline, anywhere she's nowhere to be seen" said Hearty Fan. You got shocked "Same with Rainbow, she was never late..." You said. Then Zack tap you on the back "Hey... What are you guys doing?" Asked Zack. You and Hearty sigh "We'll... I'm sure you noticed this morning that Lazuline and Rainbow wasn't here today" you said. Zack smiled "You don't have to worry... I already gave the letter to the teachers, Rainbow and Lazuline are on Las pegasus... What did not the two of you know about this?" Said Zack. You and Hearty git shocked "Las Pegasus... Their all the way in the middle of this continent" said Hearty Fan. You put your hands on Zack shoulder's "Why... Are they their?" You asked. Zack stared at you "Hmm... Can't tell you, she told me not too... I also hand her 7m dollars I don't know the reason but I gave it to her anyways" said Zack. Your eyes widen "7.... Million... dollars.... And you didn't bother to know why?" You said. Zack giggled "I'm kidding it's only 10k... They just received an invitation to perform... Their a good duo singer remember... I mean you saw it last summer" said Zack. You sigh deeply "Zack... One of this days... One of this days... I will slap you" you said. Hearty approach him "Zack... We've known each other for so long... Your lying" said Hearty Fan. Zack sigh "Fine... They got involved on mafia... Well snips and snails did... And Rainbow said they have to save them... The mafia said to them that... If they want snips and snails back they should gave them 10k... But I have feeling that it won't be that easy and since Lazuline's powers are not with her right now... And it's in this heart locket right here that she gave me... I sent a very reliable friend of mine... And she's Kerfuffle" said Zack. You got shocked "WHAT!?... and also why Kerfuffle... She's just a fashionista" you said. Zack giggled "Yes... But she was also a bounty hunter a good one... She hunted me once and I must say im impressed but I still got away though" said Zack. Hearty Fan sigh wit relief "Well... That's good to hear, that is someone is looking out for them... But still we should follow them" said Hearty Fan. "Should we tell the others..." You said, Zack and Hearty shook their head no. You sigh "Okay then... How though I mean from here to their is 1day and 24 journey" you said. Zack smiled "Will take a plane... I mean a jet a private jet... Well it's not my jet it's torque wrench's Jet" said Zack. You got shocked "A private Jet?... Umm can I ask you a question... Don't you have any private jet?" You asked. Zack raise an eye brow "Their expensive... And I don't really use the word rich on my self... I'm just using the treasure's, gems, etc that my parents left me... Well at least that what I'm telling myself but im sure they would be fine with me using all that treasure. So that I can survive and strive like this" said Zack. You pat Zack in the back "Sorry about your parents" you said, Zack just sigh and picked up his phone to call someone. Zack ahems "Hello... Hey torque is your jet available right now... It does, well can we borrow it... Oh where going to las pegasus, we have a big problems with our hands... Alright bye" Said Zack. "So... Are we game?" Asked Hearty Fan. Zack smiled "Yep... Where game" said Zack. After the day was over You, Zack and Hearty went to Hope Hollow to meet up with Torque. You drop your jaw when you saw how fancy the jet is "Wow... It's very Rainbowie" you said. Torque giggled "Isn't she a beauty" said Torque. Zack pat Torque in the back "You really did a great job here, I still can't believe that you built this from nothing" said Zack. Torque ahems "Okay... I will let you guys borrow this, but you have to promise me, not to dmg anything on it... And also no using the bathroom in this, it's not done yet" said Torque. Zack giggled "Dont worry... Will be fast, where just gonna pick those girls up... Also if Sunset calls you just tell her I'm doing an important business, let's leave our phones here we don't want them tracking us" said Zack. You and Hearty agreed "To be honest I'm to afraid to tell Twilight that, I know that she put a tracker on my phone" said Hearty. You scratch your head "Wow... That's probably, because of what happened back then" you said. Hearty sigh "Yeah... Though it's better if she just told me" said Hearty Fan. Zack hop into the jet "Come one guys, let's get them already... I promised Trixy that I will help her with her tricks later 10:00 pm for her show" said Zack. You And Hearty we're amazed on how nice the interior is. An hour later you and your friends reached Las pegasus "Where here everybody, we will be landing completely anytime now" said Zack, as the Jet slowly got close to the ground. When the jet has landed you and Hearty Fan immediately get off "Next time... I'll fly" said Hearty Fan as he puked. Zack laughed "Come one its just a little loop de loop... 5 times in a row" said Zack. You just sigh as you hold your stomach "So... Where are they anyways?" You asked. Zack hooked his head "No... No idea actually... But that why where here... To find out" said Zack. Hearty Fan pat you in the back "Dont worry they'll be fine those two are not normal girls" said Hearty. You sigh "Yeah... I know but I can't still help it, to be worried" you said. A couple hours later You and your friends are looking around in the city, and since you, Zack, and Hearty have been looking for a while all of you decided to split up, and meet up by the docks by 7pm "*gulp*... Rainbow where are you" you said, worryingly. After looking around for a while you finally found them, but it looks like they are being guided by three scary men into a stadium "I better call Zack and Hearty" you said, you called Zack and Hearty Fan and told them everything you saw, and then they immediately rushed to your location. You point at the stadium "Thats where they brought them" you said. Zack scratch his head "A stadium... I think, I know why they went their" said Zack. "Why!?" You said. Zack sigh "We'll this is las pegasus if they want to pay something... They have to work for it... They will be working for them, but of course it's no ordinary job. It's gonna be illegal that's for sure" said Zack. Hearty sigh out of nervous "Then what do we do... How do we get in?" Asked Hearty Fan. Zack shook his head "Something that... I wish I don't have to do... Hearty, get a tuxedo, and a dress that you think will look cute on me" said Zack, as he gave his credit card to Hearty. You scratch your head "Seriously... Your gonna do this?" You said. Zack sigh loudly "Look those people are a bunch of idiots and not to mention there way into attractive ladies" said Zack. You giggled "So you do see your self pretty attractive, everytime you crossdress" you said. Zack looks annoyed "Shut up you pervert, you nosebled when Rarity made me wear a one piece swimsuit" said Zack. You coughed "I... Got nothing to say on that" you said. Hearty giggled "She made you wear a swimsuit" said Hearty, teasingly. Zack sigh "Just get a tuxedo and a dress... Even though I know I hate it" said Zack. After a couple minutes later Hearty got back from the store "Hey I got tuxedo and the dress" said Zack. Zack blushed as he take the dress "Why... It's so blue... And flowery" said Zack, as he shivered. Hearty smirked "You said pick a dress that you think will look cute on you" said Hearty. Even though you know Zack said that something will look good enough, you zipped your mouth "Yeah... You said that" you said. Zack looks confused as he was blushing "I... Did? Curse me then *SIGH* lets just get this over with" said Zack. After a couple minutes later all of you are ready to attend a party "So... How do I look" said Zack. Hearty covered his mouth "Can Twirl and smile" said Hearty. You smacked your self in the face for being attracted to him "Can we just get this over with... Seeing you in that feels so wrong, you look more elegant than Rarity in her best dressed and better looking than our girlfriends" you said. Zack looks disgusted "Let's just go" said Zack. Hearty sigh "Maybe picking that dressed is bad idea" You pat Hearty in the back "Should we tell him that... Those stockings looks great on him" you said. Hearty hooked his head "Nope... If you don't want to get punched in the face... I probably will be after this those stockings and garter belt is a partner of that dress... His gonna kill me, I can feel it" said Hearty, as he got nervous. When all three of you entered the stadium, you can see that the people their are very rich and the foods are look expensive, there even celebrities "I am not expecting this" you said, as you look around, you saw Rainbow and Lazuline along with snips and snails and it looks like their are guards all around them. You pat Zack "Can we just kick their asses with magic" you said. Zack sigh "Do you seriously wanna make a scene... Plus I know a couple people here and I'm telling you right now their pretty nasty" said Zack. "So how are we gonna save them?" Asked Hearty. You pat Hearty in the back "I think we both know... That Zack will take their attention or distract them" you said. Hearty Scratch his head "Zack... You know, you don't have to do this, I mean can you even act like a girl, despite looking like one?" Hearty Fan asked. Zack smirked "Watch me" said Zack, as he walked towards the guards like a beauty queen, when he was at the guards, they couldn't get their eyes out of him. You gulped "What do you think, there talking about" you said. Looks like Hearty didn't pay attention what you said "Did Rarity... Teacher him that" said Hearty. You gulped once more "Probably...did he just bite his lips, don't tell me his seducing them" you said. Hearty sigh "I think that's our Que... Let's go" said Hearty, then both of you walked around towards Rainbow and Lazuline. The moment you and Hearty reached them, they immediately noticed the both of you and ran towards you "Rush!" Said Rainbow, then she hugged you. Lazuline ahems "How did you two find... And who's that?" Asked Lazuline. You looked at Rainbow she pouting "Who is that huh... A friend of yours " said Rainbow. You laughed nervously "No... Well yes his our friend... That is the one and only trap of our friend group, Zack" you said. Lazuline and Rainbow got shocked "Thats Zack!?... Oh my I must admit he looks hot... Really hot" said Lazuline. You and Hearty noticed that Zack was signaling the both of you "I think he need our help, Rush take Lazuline and Rainbow with you our of here... I'll get him out in this situation... Again, even though the first one is my fault I dared him too" said Hearty. You, Rainbow and Lazuline was just about to leave the stadium, when the camera and the spot light was on Zack and Hearty "Oh no... That's not good" said Lazuline. You gulped "What do you mean that's -" you said, but just before you got to finish what your saying, you heard the announcer said something. "HELLO EVERYBODY... I am very happy that all of you was able to attend our little gathering on the celebration of the 5th anniversary of this stadium, she's still standing after taking different types of disasters... But before we get into more speeches we have a tradition, for the most handsome and most beautiful guest that arrives and just happeneds that their a couple. Every body say it with KISS!" said the announcer. You face palmed "Good thing Sunset and Twilight is not here to see this" you said. Lazuline giggled "Oh they will see it... There here, and it looks like they followed you" said Lazuline. Rainbow laughed nervously "This... Is probably our fault" said Rainbow. Lazuline and Rainbow immediately went to them and distracted them, while walking guiding them towards the exit, when you looked at screen. You saw it, they actually did it "Lazuline and Rainbow, better keep their mouth shut about this" you said. Then you followed your friends to the exit, Then after waiting for a couple minutes Zack and Hearty came out the exit "Their they are" you said. Sunset gasp "Is that... Yuzu!? Why does he dressed like that" said Sunset, then he looked at you. You just laughed nervously "It's a long story" you said. Zack just went inside the RV, he looks really embarrassed and pissed, Sunset, Twilight and Lazuline followed Zack, there all still amazed, You smiled "Hearty... How was it?" You asked. Hearty blushed our of embarrassment "Not gonna lie, his lips are really soft, softer than Twilights" said Hearty. You laughed "Dont worry no one will find out, come on lets go we still have class tomorrow" you said. Then you and Hearty just hop into the RV and saw your friends making Zack pose. "His probably dying inside" you said in your mind. > Chapter 23: A glimpse of Zack and Sunset's relationship > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Another sem-break has come you and Rainbow decided to go on a trip together, along with Zack and Sunset. As you opened the door to leave you saw Zack waiting at your front lawn "Hey, good morning Zack" you said. He smiled "Mornin, so did you pack the essentials?" Said Zack. You smiled and put your hand around him "Ofcourse I did, so you guys planning something at appleloosa camp?" You asked. Zack sigh and smiled as he removed your hand around him "Yeah... We do have some plans, you'll see anyways since where all gonna be in the same cabin" said Zack. You scratch your head "We do?... That's not what we planned" you said. Zack giggled "And yet here we are... Also the girls are the one who arranged it" said Zack. You sigh "I really want to have some alonetime with Rainbow again" you said. Zack giggled "Dont worry I'll try my best to get Sunset and I out of your way... So that you can do what ever you want to do" said Zack You smiled "Thx... I guess, anyway where are we gonna meet them?" You asked. Zack took his phone out of his pocket "Well... Sunset said, in front of the sugar cube corner... The usual spot where we all meet up" said Zack. You laughed a little "It's like our sacred meeting spot, I mean we always meet up their" you said. You both laughed, then waited for the bus, and when the bus arrived you both hop in, and just sat near the door. When you two arrived at the city you both immediately got off the bus and went to sugar cube corner to meet up with Rainbow and Sunset. Rainbow waved at you "Hey (Smiles) your just in time" said Rainbow. Sunset giggled "You really did brought the grill with you" said Sunset. Zack sigh "You said to bring it right l, plus it's on the go grill" said Zack. You scratch your head "Thats a grill, I thought that's a suit case" you said. Zack smirked "It's custom made, made by your truly" said Zack. You smiled and sigh "Show off" you said. "So shall we go?" Said Rainbow. Sunset helped Zack with his bags, since he brought a couple "Hey let me help you with that, sorry to making you prepare all this" said Sunset. Zack smiled "It's fine ill carry most of it, you can just carry this two" said Zack. You and Rainbow looked each other and just laughed, Zack and Sunset looks confused but you both just lead the way. After two hours you both arrived at the Apploosa camp "Where here finally" said Rainbow, as she stretches. You looked around and it seems like nothing much has changed. You helped Zack prepared the grill since it's already 12 noon and all of you are hungry for lunch. Rainbow approached you "How are we gonna cook this bacon, steal, and this other meat?" Asked Rainbow. You grabbed the other meat and put them in a zip lock to marinate them "Well... Sunset, Zack? Is it alright if we cook this?" You asked. Sunset and Zack looks pretty cool with it "Umm... Yeah sure, it doesn't really affect us, I mean you need protein" said Sunset. Zack just nodded and smiled as he peeled some potatoes. "Thats a relief don't you think" said Rainbow, you smiled and just simply nodded yes. When all of you are done cooking, you and Zack brought the table outside from the cabin and prepared the food that you guys cooked "Alright!... All of this looks tasty" said Rainbow. You giggled "We'll we better eat it's already 1 am" you said. Rainbow stomachs growl "Hehe... Let's eat" said Rainbow. While all of you are eating all of you tell stories to each other and some other stuff that is related to your school works "Hey... Well I've been just wondering so much, just how you and Sunset got together, and whats your first fate like?" You asked. Zack and Sunset looks shocked about the question and spits what ever is in their mouth "Oh... Hehe, well umm how about we just talk about how Zack and I actually met in Canterlot okay..." Said Sunset, the she nervously laughed. Zack ahems "Well... When I first arrived at Canterlot high, Sunset was still lost i'd say I mean she was still on wrong path those days. She and I are in the same class, the first I got their she approached me all sweet and kind, but of course I already what she was actually like those days since she and I really first met at hope hollow. We didn't really get along that much" said Zack. Sunset giggled "And we always insult each other, but I never got Into his nerves he's just smiling at my insults and just pat in the head sometimes" said Sunset. Rainbow gulped "Come on!... let's go to the juicy part" said Rainbow. Sunset sigh and smiled "Come on, be patient... A few months have past him and I are starting to get comfortable so to say, to one another. But I'm still a total meanie back then, when Twilight arrived I didn't saw him that much it's like his avoiding me or whatever I didn't understand why back then its making me feel anxious. Why would feel anxious I was supposed to hate him, I'll get to the part where I was defeated since, that night while I was fixing the front door he... he approached me. And he offered me a dance, I don't know how since I can't go to the gym, I'll just make everyone uncomfortable. Then he just took my hand and brought me to the roof top. He took out a speaker and played the same music that is played in the gym, and from that point we just had fun" said Sunset. Zack put his hand around Sunset "Yeah, on that moment I actually started developing feelings for her, but didn't understand it back then... She and I really come a long way, from enemies to lovers... God that's cheesy" said Zack. All of you smiled "Though there is this one big question, who confessed first?" Asked Rainbow. Zack and Sunset looked at each other "Well, it's really not how we found out what we felt about each other, Zack and I actually went through something that you two and rest of our friends dont know about" said Sunset. It got your attention "What do you mean?" You asked. Zack smiled "You'll find out eventually it's already the end of this chapter" said Zack. Sunset giggled " Soon, when I'm ready to share it" said Sunset. You sigh "Jesus, again with this chater stuff, what are your even talking about" you said. > Chapter 24: Canterlot Sports event > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- When you arrived at Canterlot High, your a bit weard out since Zack always wait for you at the bus stop. But when you were walking towards the hall way you saw a big poster about a special event that will help your school to enter a new stage, when you look at the buttom looks like Zack will be the one to provide the venue "Huh... i guess his really busy" you said. When you get to your classroom you saw that the chairs are all on the side of the room. You saw your friends exercising you sat down and just watch them for a while they don't even know that your in there since there facing away from the door "So what's all this?" As you spoke, you startled all of them. Rainbow looks like got a little bit mad "Dont do that... You might give all of us a heart attack" said Rainbow, you nodded and just giggled. Apple Jack sat beside you as the other girls continued exercising "Well to answer you question, we will be practicing later for each sport that we joined... Did you joined any sports or competions?" Asked Apple Jack. You nodded no since you don't really feel like joining anything "Nope... I don't really feel like joining anything... Umm also, the room is starting to smell" you said. Apple Jack's face started blushing "Well... We are sweatin... Hehe oh boy, I better open the windows" said Apple Jack. You giggled, then all of sudden you received a call from Zack "Hey!... Rush tell the girls that I won't make it to the band practice later, since I got a little busy and suddenly an old friend come by... That's need entertaining... Alright cya" said Zack, you didn't even get to reply since he just hang up, Also he sound quite serious on the phone. Your friends approached you and all of them sat beside you "Is that Zack Darling... We really need him in the band practice, our schedule today is quite tight" said Rarity. You sigh and took a deep breath "Well, he said he won't make it, he said he was busy and he said that an old friend of him visited him that needs entertaining. He also sounded quite serious" you said, you noticed that Hearty immediately left when after you said ,what you said. Sunset sigh "What is going on with him, his been acting off lately... Maybe it has something to do with that old friend his talking about... I really don't want to get on in his business to much" said Sunset. You noticed that Twilight is looking around looking for Hearty Fan, but you kept your mouth shut "Has anyone seen Hearty, he was just right beside me" said Twilight. Pinkie Pie pull out a party canon out nowhere "My party canon is ready, win or lose I will throw out a party, though it'll be nice to win but who cares party is a party" said Pinkie pie. You scratch your head "Is there a hidden box here somewhere, where did you get that thing?" You said. Apple Jack pat you in the back "Dont worry it's just Pinkie being Pinkie, even us don't understand on how is she able to pull this kind of tricks" said Apple Jack. Then a couple minutes later your friends decided to proceed to practice area where all you can practice your chosen event freely. As you were leaving along with the other girls, you noticed Fluttershy is still in the room, so you decided to approached her and invite her to come with you and the others "Hey Fluttershy don't wanna go with us?" You asked. Fluttershy looked at you with a worried face "No... I just have to figure out, on how am I supposed to handle this pet center daycare extension, since I want everything to look like just like the animal's natural habitats" said Fluttershy. You smiled "maybe I can help, so where do you exactly you want it to be... The location I mean" you said. Fluttershy had a big smile on her face "Well, I was thinking to put it here near the Canterlot lake, since it has everything that the animals need. But the problem is I haven't found yet any organization that would want to help me, since they said there all to busy" said Fluttershy. You crossed your arms as you think "Who could possibly help with this problem... Oh, have you tried asking Zack, I mean he knows a lot of people that are also animal lovers, maybe he could help you on the vegetation too since I heard the Canterlot lake, is starting have some problems with it's vegetation. I'm sure he can just use his magic to bring it back to life, or even terrain it to perfectly match your vision" you said. Fluttershy's eyes widen "Oh my gosh, your right... But lately his also been kind of busy, I'm not sure if his going to have time for this" said Fluttershy. You pull out your phone out of your pocket "Well lets give him a call, and ask if he will have time" you said, when you dialed Zack's number it was quite for a while, you two got weird out since he always pick up his immediately. Then a couple more minutes he finally answered "Hey, what's up... Be right back with you" said Zack, on the phone. While you two are waiting you heard a series of noises and crumble in the back ground "So, what's up... Better hurry I'm a bit occupied right now" said Zack. You got worried "Hey is everything alright?" You asked. Zack laughed, you don't know why "No... Everything is alright, so what's the reason of this call?" Said Zack. You gulped and sigh "Well... Fluttershy and I, we're wondering if you know anyone that would be willing to help her build, an animal daycare center that is beside the Canterlot lake, and may as well use your magic to make more vegetation on the area, do you think, you can help us when you had the time" you said. "Yeah, yeah... I can do that, when is she planning on starting on the project?" Zack asked, you look at Fluttershy and it seems like she's thinking. Fluttershy tap you in the shoulder "Can I talk to him?" Fluttershy asked. You nodded yes and gave her the phone, you look at blue print that she's making and your amazed on how good she is at drawing and laying out, you also can't help it but to overheard what she is saying "Really, next week that's actually when I'm planning on starting... Do you think the mayor will let us buy a land in Canterlot lake on where we can build it, but is it to expensive... Well okay then, bye" said Fluttershy, then she gave you back the phone. You took your phone back "So what did he say?" You asked, she seems happy looks like Zack can help after all, plus it's not like she's gonna turn down his friends. Fluttershy giggled out of joy "He said that he can do it, he can help us with the animal and the vegetation problem by next week... I'm also very worried about the whole land thing, he said that he can but the land for me, I know that his rich and all but it's a but too much dont you think?" Said Fluttershy. You laughed and pat her on the shoulder "Dont worry, it's what he do he will always help with a ridiculous amount of money if necessary on the situation, I'm sure that you already that I own the community park after Zack, named it to me the papers I mean" you said. Fluttershy seems shocked "You own the community park?" Asked Fluttershy. You are also shocked that she didn't know "You didn't know?... I guess the other didn't know too, even Rainbow maybe it's because Zack and I never mention it, can you keep it a secret with the whole community park I mean" you said. Fluttershy giggled "Okay, my lips our sealed... Umm should we check on him, he seems off, it's like his fighting someone" said Fluttershy. You gulped "I'm sure his fine, plus his Zack it's just him, being him if that make sense" you said. Fluttershy seemed confused "Oookay... Well everything is now settled, should we follow the others? We also need to tell Rainbow not use her super speed on the running competition" Said Fluttershy. Your eyes widen "She's joining a racing a competition... I'm sure she won't cheat I mean she's Rainbow Dash, she will always be fair... Plus she's very competitive" you said. Fluttershy smiled "Yeah... She is very competitive, fun fact Apple Jack once race her, and Rainbow lost" said Fluttershy. After chatting with Fluttershy, you both went to the practice area to meet up with your friends, as the day goes on a series of events and competition have been held. When it's finally time for the Racing competition looks like Rainbow Dash is also going against Apple Jack in this competition, Rainbow almost won the karate competition against Apple Jack, but she still lost. The crowd is divided the others are Cheering for Aj, while the others are cheering for RD. When ist the final lap the other competitors are already exhausted but it almost seems like Aj and Rd are still full of energy, when the finish line is near their both neck and neck. But when they finally reached the finished line there both came second they didn't saw Twilight ran past them half way on the finish line. You, Zack, Hearty and the rest of your friends went down to congratulate them. When you got there, Rainbow hugged you "I not only lost the karate competition I also lost to Twilight here, at the running competition" said Rainbow, you cant see her face but you know that she's pouting. You smiled and pat her head "Come on, you maybe lost on this one, but you still got the MVP from Girls Basket Ball, Volleyball, tennis, and the baseball competition, you won them all" You said. Fluttershy pat her in the back "Yeah, you were amazing back their, I cant believe that you were able to stay energetic after playing one sports after another" said Fluttershy. Twilight giggled "Well, we better all take a rest the final event will be starting at 8pm, the one that Sunset joined in" said Twilight. You pat Sunset on the shoulder "What event did you join in again?" You asked. Sunset smiled "Oh, it's a mix martial art competition, there are about 8 participants and I'm one of them each one is from different schools well, I'm gonna go and warm up" said Sunset. Rainbow suddenly held your hand "Come on, let's have some fun, on the booths I'm a bit anxious for not spending a single time with you this day, cause of being busy with all this events" said Rainbow, Jn a very happy tone. You smiled "Really?.. I mean we always spend time with one another" you said, you look straight into her eyes, and it looks like it's saying something. You gulped "Oh... Alright then" you said, then you went to the booths, and even compete with her in eating, and other extreme stuff that the booths has to offer. You really can't believe how much energy she still have in her, it's almost overwhelming. But your thankful though you thought to yourself that your very lucky to have such woman like no other. > Chapter 25: An unfortunate disaster > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It's been a few days, since the sport event Aria invited you to a abandoned mine to collect some crystals that she can use for her gift that she is making for Sonata and Adagio. You got curious about what kind of gift she is making "Hey, What gift is exactly your going to make?" You asked. Aria looks flustered "I'll... I'll tell you when we get there" said Aria, you smiled and sigh then you just kept on driving. While you and Aria on the way, you noticed that she kept starting at you and it's starting to bother you "Umm... Are you hungry?... Or you need to use the bathroom" you asked. Aria's face gotten more red and she looked a way "Hu... Hung.... Hungry" said Aria. You smiled and giggled "Why didn't say so... Don't worry I know a good place not to far from here" you said. As you were on your way to the fast food that you two are going to, you noticed the Aria is staring at you once more "Is there something on my face?" You asked. Aria blushed and looked away once more "What's even up with her" you thought. When you two arrived at the restaurant, you two immediately went in, and ordered some food "They have a pretty good and fast service here huh" Said Aria. You smirked "I did say that this place is great" you said, Aria raise and eyebrow and smiled. Aria smiled "Heh... Is the food great though" said Aria. Then a couple minutes later the food is ready, then both of you dig in. While you were eating you noticed Aria that she is enjoying the food, the way she savor is looks like, she really like's it "It's good isn't it" you said, with a smirk on your face. Aria blushed "Uh... Umm yeah, it's okay... I guess" said Aria. You smiled "You know, your pretty cute... You should smile more often" you said. Aria blushed once more "Eh... That's, shut up" said Aria, then she pouted. After you two ate your breakfast, well to you second breakfast. You went back in the road, towards the direction where the mine is. When you two arrived at the mine's Zack greeted you at the entrance "There you are... Okay you two have only an hour alright, that's all I can do for Ya, the owner of the mine said that it's all the time he can give. Since they will be closing the mine soon" said Zack. Aria pat you in the back "Well we better get going, thx again Zack for finding a way to grant my favor" said Aria, Zack just smiled and nodded. You pat Zack and on the shoulder and went into the mine's with Aria, as you two were walking deeper Into the mine. It got darker and darker, you pulled your flashlight out of your back pack and shine it into the darkness "So... What kind of mineral are we looking for again?" you asked. Aria sigh "Aren't you listening, I said crystal or gems or whatever..." Said Aria, you noticed that she always immediately look away, everytime you and her made eye contact. You sigh, a couple minutes pass and the basket is almost full of gems "Alright this should be enough" said Aria. You offered to carry it for her, and she gave it to you with a little aggressive "don't lose it" said Aria. You smiled "How am I supposed to lose this, I mean there beautiful and sparkly... Just like your eyes" you said. Aria stared at you for a moment she lookedd all red "Shut up... You... Idiot" said Aria, when all of sudden you heard something rumbling. You and Aria rushed to the entrance when you heard the rumbling when you get their what you fear has aready happened, both of you are now stuck in theirmines "Crap, the entrance has been blocked" you said. Aria looks scared so you put your arm around her and calmed her down "Dont worry Zack will get us out... I hope, no im sure he will" you said. [Out of your point of view... Zack is having an ice cream across the street, unaware of you two got trap inside the mines] "I feel like I forgot something... That there bombing the entrance to seal it off completely... Meh... I'm sure the owner make sure that there out first" said Zack, then he continued eating his ice cream. [Back to your point of view] You sigh "Where is he, its been an hour" you said, Aria hold onto you tightly. Aria took a deep breath "I'm sorry... If I didn't drag you along you wouldn't have get stuck with me here" said Aria. You scrub her back "Hey, it's not your fault... Hey you hungry, I pack a few biscuits" you said. Aria smiled "We better save it, just in case we got stuck here a little bit longer, I mean I'm sure his already digging as out" said Aria. [Out of your point of view] Zack gulped "I can sense them, there still inside in the other side of this rubble... Should I levitate the smaller ones then big ones or I should just make a tunnel or a teleportation spell, I probably should start digging them out" said Zack, then he started removing the rubble with levitation spell. [Back to your point of view] While you two are sitting by the entrance you heard that something is moving on the other side of the rubble "His digging us out... Probably by removing the rocks with levitation spell" said Aria. You smiled "I wonder what took him so long, but it looks like his still gonna take a long time to get us... I mean who knows how far this tunnel collapsed" you said. Aria also smiled "If there's one know about that knuckle head, his gonna go far enough where his teleportation spell can reach us... Since in this world, the teleportation spells range is limited, especially if your exhausted its range will get shorter" said Aria. Your eyes widen "So that's how it works, how about his portal spell?" You asked. Aria sigh "His still refining the spell, it's too dangerous, your gonna need take your time on it, just one wrong miscalculation, you could fell into another dimension or worse, the void" said Aria. You gulped "The void?" You said, you noticed Aria is trembling, so it means that it's pretty bad. "A place the birth place of Zackodia's parents, it's true that he was born in Equestria but his parents were born in the void. Believe it or not, Zack had siblings, though his grand parents took them since they found his older brother and his younger sister are more useful and stronger than him... Of course his parents were devastated, they can't go back there since they will be istantly incinerated... Not to mention his grandparents are allied with the puppeteer. No one knows who or what he or she is, they said that it can manipulate someone else life, giving them a bad telling of there faith and story... But I believe that thing is nothing more but myth" said Aria. You sigh "Does Zack know about his siblings" said Aria. Aria gulped and sigh "He just fought them, a few days ago he was able to make them retreat, thank God Adagio since she has incredible healing magic, she instantly held Zack's injuries and his 4 broken ribs" said Aria. Your eyes widen "WHAT!?" You said, that day back in the Canterlot sports event, you heard a lot of commotion in the background while your having a conversation with Zack on the phone. But before you just get to ask who were his siblings Zack finally found you two "There you are, sorry about this I didn't know that there gonna be doing the closing much earlier than anticipated... Sorry" said Zack. Aria smiled "Thats fine, it's your fault, anyway where is that manager I have a bone to pick with him" said Aria, you giggled. Aria glared at you "What!? Don't tell me that your not mad for this accident" said Aria. You smiled "I'm mad, it's just your cute you know that" you said, then Aria blushed deeply, and walk away. Then all of sudden Zack smack you in the back of your head "You already have girlfriend stop flirting with her... She like you, you know" said Zack. Your eyes widen out of shock "I'm sorry what?" You asked. Zack just walk away slowly "Ahhh... Isn't it wonderful afternoon hehe, the sunset is really beautiful" said Zack, his obviously stalling. And thought to yourself to be more careful next time. > Chapter 26: Zackodia and Pinkie > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Monday, graduation is just right around the corner. You and Pinkie pie got assigned on decorations and baking, you don't really know why, since you can't really bake, so you told pinkie that she can handle the baking and you'll take care of the decorating planning. While you were writing a list of things that your going to need to decorate the gym for graduation, you noticed that Pinkie was looking at something out the window, so you decided to check it out, and see what she was looking at "Huh... Are you starting at Zack and Sunset?" You asked Pinkie. Pinkie smiled, then she pulled out a photo album, out of her back pack "You know, me and Zack we're inseparable... Well used to be, but now he's got a girlfriend and im happy it was Sunset... But I cant help but to get jealous sometimes *giggles*" said Pinkie. You scrab her back and smiled "Would you like to tell me more" you said, as you look into her eyes. Pinkie put a big smile on her face "Oh noy, where should I even begin" then she started, to flip the pages of the photo album "Here this picture, this is the first time Zack came into our school" said Pinkie Pie. [Pinkie's perspective and naration] I was a little afraid to approached him at first, because he seems like his always glaring. But when I tried to talk to him he gave me a warm smile "Hi... What can I do for you?" He asked me, of course I was surprised since I didn't expect him to be so gentle and his voice was quite soft. I showed him my camera and "Zack is it, I was wondering if you I could take a picture of you" I asked, he smiled and gave me a nod "Well can you pose a little for me, and smile" I said. After I took a picture he asked me "What is that for?" He asked, I can tell from his eyes that he was very curious. Then I showed him this "Well it's for this a year book, though I still don't know what kind of description on im gonna put on your pic, for some reason a lot of students wanted you to be in it" I said, he was confused. Zack scratches his head, and touch his chin with his fingers "What could be possibly the reason they wanted me to be in it?" He said, then all of sudden, flash pop out of nowhere and answered him. "Well the reason is, you were one of the coolest guy here in school also you also have been nominated to have the most attractive face, above Rarity, also despite being a guy, you earned the most beautiful person here in school" said Flash. Zack laughed as he pat Flash in the back "Your very funny, that just ridiculous there's no way" he said. Then he just walked away, though to me he's laugh was not a real laugh... I can tell he was in pain back then. Then 2 months later, after we defeated Sunset I noticed that Zack was leaving the gym, so I followed him that night, he went to Sunset shimmer I hid to see what's gonna happen, and if I remember correctly this is what happened. Zack started picking up some bricks and help Sunset shimmer fixing the entrance, Sunset stopped for a moment "What... What are you doing?" She asked, Zack looked at her and smiled. "Helping you of course... It's nice to see turn yourself around, well standing around here won't finish this door" he said. Tears started to fall from Sunset's eyes and down to her cheeks "Dont you hate... are you not afraid of me... I turned all of our classmates into a mindless zombie, and I turned into some kind of monster" said Sunset. Zack pat Sunset on her head and said "I was never under your spell... Since, im just like you" said Zack, followed by a soft smile. Sunset's eyes widen, and she looked at him in the eye "Your also a pony?..." She said, Zack nodded and smile. I was also shocked, to be honest with you I thought he was just an another vegan, turns out he was also a pony just like Sunset Ahimmer and Princess Twilight. After princess Twilight left, we all also went home, leaving Zack and Sunset behind, then tomorrow morning when we all got back the entrance of the of school is completely fixed and brand new. We all just went on our day like nothing happened though, all of the other students are still very upset about every bad things that Sunset has done. We can't really blame them since it is pretty bad, but Me, Rarity, Apple Jack, Fluttershy, and Rainbow Dash, we all stayed by her side and guided her, Zack also did the same thing, he helped her coped with her issues and problems. Then when Summer break comes, Zack comes very often to sugar cube corner and keeps ordering mint float delight almost everyday. Well he also ordered a few cup cakes on the side, but his always alone. So one day I decided to prepare his usual order early and give it to him, he was shocked but he appreciated it. I sat next to him, and told him that I know what he is. He didn't had that much reaction and it surprised me, but then I got more surprised when he said "I know, that you knew... I saw you" he said, as he gave me a soft smile. "How's your day so far?" He asked me, I smiled and took a bite on one of his cupcakes "Well it's great so far... Your our first customer like every morning, just between you and me, Ms. Cupcake actually giving you extra ice cream on your float since your a regular here" he was surprised, his reaction was adorable. And on that forward we always hang out on my day off's, we will go to the park, prank my neighbors and even going to the beach and having fun. To tell you a secret, don't tell him I told you this but I managed to make him where a swimsuit and went on like that all day on our time on the beach, a lot of guys tried to hit on him. And even at school we always hang out, though the rest of friends back then our a little skeptical about him. Since sometimes he just pay for the tours that the school planned, the other students were okay with it, but our friends thinks that his just showing off his riches, they don't even know him yet, there immediately believed that his up to no good, like Sunset was before. And when they found out that I always hang with Zack after school they confronted me about it, "Darling, why are you hanging with that person, his dangerous" said Rarity, of course it got me upset, she doesn't even know him. "Pinkie it's not that we don't want you to stop hanging around with him, but with all this rumors about him, his just way to suspicious plus they said that Zack has no records or even a birth certificate" said AppleJack, Sunset kept her mouth shut, since she know's what Zack is, he probably also told Sunset not to tell anyone about him being a pony. "AppleJack's right, its way to dangerous to hang with person with no background" said Rainbow, at that moment I snapped. "What are you girls even talking about, you don't even know him... Did you know that his parents died when he was still a baby, did you know how much he suffered when the one he called mother died... And did you know how much more people he lost on his life... If you just give him a chance you'll know more about him, you see how much, he cares for his friends. Could you pls, just try to get to know him before you judge him" I said, I just left the room and closed the door behind me. Then I noticed Zackodia he was standing by the door " Did you hear..." But just before I get to finish he pat me in the head and touched my cheek. As he wipes my tears he said to me "I'm really happy that, I was able to meet you, to get to know you... And even became my friend, im sorry, if im causing you trouble, dont worry Tommorow morning you everything will get better" he said, I dont know what he meant by that, he didn't give me a chance to say something back. Then the next day he didn't come to school, or even the day after that, he didn't go to school for a whole month. I couldn't take it anymore, so I went to his house to try and get him to comeback with me to school, but when I got to his house, I found him trimming his bushes at his front yard. And of course he immediately noticed me "Pinkie? What are you doing here?" He asked, then he invited me and side and brought me some juice, since he knows that I don't drink tea. We were silent for a couple, then finally I asked "So when will you go back to school?" I asked, then he looked at me and gave me a soft smile. "don't worry, I'll come back... I did told principal celestia, that I will gone for a month, since I have an important business trip to go too, with the Lazuline's" he said. "When will you go back...*ahem* I know that my friends don't trust you yet, and those rumors there aren't true, aren't they?" I said. Zack giggled "Ofcourse, plus I don't really mind, doesn't really affect me... Doing worry I already forgive them... And there waiting for us in the kitchen" He said. [Back your point of view] And it went on for another 30 minutes, it was interesting and good that your able to learn something about your friends in the past "Do you think Rainbow will get mad, if i mentioned anything about that... You know about her burnt cookies and over cooked steaks?... I remember her making me some lasagna, and it tasted extremely sour and swee, not to meantioned over cooked, but i still appreciate it" You said, while holding your laugh. You noticed that Pinkie is staring at something behind your back, and when you looked back you saw Rainbow glaring at you and giving you a somewhat terrifying grin that sends chills down your spine "Sweety... I'm happy that you appreciate my cooking, even though you don't enjoy it... But you could have just just been honest with me... Now come with me, we have a lot to talk about " said Rainbow, then she just started dragging you out of the room. As Rainbow dragging you, Pinkie was waving at you, and she mumbled "Sorry, I'm sure you'll survive her wrath" that was what she mumbled, with a nervous smile. > Chapter 27: Twilights Birthday > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Saturday, 4 am you woke up from a tapping slind, in your window. When you take a look at what it is you saw Hearty Fan, standing in front of your yard, waving at you and telling you to come down. Even though your tired you still went down, and also curious on what he has to say, it's probably important enough that he has to wake you up at 4am in the morning. You opened the door and saw Hearty Fan just waiting beside the rose bush that your mother has been taking care off "Hey, What are you doing here, this early of the morning?" You asked. Hearty looked nervous "Well you see, today is Twilights birthday and I was planning to surprise her, and I could really use your guitar skills, since I'm gonna be singing a song for her" said Hearty Fan. You smiled and yawned "Sure... Sure, but are you planning also an early morning birthday party, just like she did with your birthday" you said. Then all of sudden Zack appeared put of nowhere "A venue huh... That's easy enough, I may have gone over bored and reserved a whole resort" said Zack. You and Hearty, got shocked "Will you pls stop that" said by the both of you. Zack looks confused"Huh?... Stop what?" Said Zack, as he looked at the both of you. You sigh "That, stop appearing out of nowhere, who knows, who you might give a heart attack" you said. Zack laughed "Okay, sorry, I just can't help it..." Said Zack. You scratch your head "You reserved a whole resort?" You said. Hearty Fan coughed our of shocked "What!?... A whole resort, isn't that too much a simple venue would do, i mean I don't think I can pay you back, its out of my budget" said Hearty Fan. Zack lat Hearty on the back "Dont worry its okay, no need to pay me back. Plus its not that expensive" said Zack. You got curious how much he paid so you asked him "How much it it exactly the whole reservation?" You asked. Zack just kept quiet and smiled at the both and slowly walked away "Zack how much did you pay?" Asked Hearty Fan. Zack sigh "Do you really want to know?" Said Zack, as he raise an eyebrow. You sigh "Alright fine... I won't asked, it must be a crazy amount" you said, and Zack just laughed and pat you on the back. Then two hours later, You, Zack and Hearty are preparing the venue, While Sunset, Rainbow, Apple Jack, Rarity, Fluttershy, and Pinkie pie take care of the food. Rarity called you and you rushed towards her "Rush darling, can you help decorating this cake, I got exhausted from frosting those cupcakes" said Rarity, then you looked at the cupcakes that she was talking about. You saw that, she frosted every single cupcakes with there each own unique design "Just how much effort did you put on frosting?" You said. Rarity giggled "You know what they say, good Decorated Cupcakes, comes with a good presentation" said Rarity, who said that, You said in your head. Then you just decorated the cake. Then another hour has passed, Hearty Fan went to get Twilight for the surprised "We didn't go over board didn't we?" You said. Zack looked around "Meh, looks great to me" said Zack. Apple Jack looks a little bit concerned "Maybe, we did go over boards just a little bit, but I'm sure she'll like it none the less" said Apple Jack. Then a couple of minutes later Twilight arrived withe Hearty Blind folded, Hearty Fan guided Twilight inside carefully, and when they reached the center, Hearty Fan demoved Twilight blind fold and a of you shouted "HAPPY BIRTHDAY TWILIGHT" all of you shouted, then you all asw that Twlight started crying, and she was smiling. You smiled "She liked it" you said, then Zack pat you on the back. "Nice work on the cake by the way" said Zack. You smiled" Thx... You two, good job on reserving this resort" you said. As the day went on you and your friends had great time especially twilight, looks like she doesn't mind that someone went a little over bored when it comes to a place where you guys celebrate. It's not that your complaining about it, it just makes you wonder what kind of birthday party would rainbow throw for you, since everybody seems to have someone to surprise them. When you were watching them party, you noticed that Apple Jack seems to be bothered by something, so you approached her and ask her "Hey, you okay... You seem a little down" you said. AppleJack smiled "Heh, don't worry about me, I'm fine it just crazy... On how far we've come, After we all found each other, we began to have adventures that we never knew that will ever happen. I mean come on this whole magic stuff, sounds like came out of a fantasy book. I'm happy of course. I can't help it but to think about it, just a two more months and where gonna graduate, just what if we don't see each other again ya know " said AppleJack. You pat her on the back "Dont worry, we all still gonna be friends, we all still going to see each other, true that where all going to have are own lives, familyy and stuff but it doesn't mean it'll prevent us from seeing each other... I promise you that we all do" you said. Hearty Fan pat both of you on the back "yeah, we all do, how about we make all a promise right here right now" said Hearty Fan. Hearty Fan went onto the stage and calls everyone's attention "We all gathered here, to celebrate Twilights birthday... The woman who I love, ever since we met you've been on my mind ever since, and if Zack not convinced me to settle here at Canterlot city. We may have never met each other again, but I guess fates find away to reunite two people. And I thank you for giving me chance to show you how much I loved you, I love you Twilight Sparkle, I really do, and you are the one who I want to bring to the alter someday and be my wife" said Hearty, Twilight cried as she hear those words. You smiled "Way to go buddy" you said, then all of sudden Rainbow wrap her arms around your arm. "how come you never gave me that kind of speech before" said Rainbow, you nervously laughed. "Well, I.. Umm, you see" you said, all of sudden rainbow laughed. "I'm just mess in with ya... It would be nice though" said Rainbow, you put your hand on Rainbow's cheek and kissed her. You gave Rainbow a soft smile "Someday, RD" you said. Rainbow blushed deeply "Why, do you have to say that on such a cool expression, your making me feel uncool" said Rainbow, and you just giggled. Then a couple minutes later Apple Jack went up to the stage and takes everyone attention as well "Before this day to be over... I just want to say that, i hope we al stilll gonna be friends after we graduate, we all have reached this far having one another, and graduating means we all gonna have job, make are own family, and have are own lives. But I hope that even that happens we can all still see each other and hang out like this *tears starts to come out on Applejacks eyes*" said Apple Jack. All of you went up to the stage and hugged one another, just two more months and all of you are graduates, who knows what will happen after that. But you are thankful that you met them, and grateful that you met RainbowDash. > Chapter 28: Graduation > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Just one more day and all of you will graduate, you and your friends are preparing for tomorrows graduation day. Even Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna are getting really busy, Zack the school president and Hearty Fan the school founder are also very busy for tomorrow, while you and the rest of the gang are busy for a very special one last rainboom performance, again for tomorrow's graduation day. Rarity stretched her arms and yawn "I can't wait for tomorrow graduation day, I stayed up late making this costumes for our last performance for tomorrow" said Rarity. Fluttershy giggled "Me too, I can't for tomorrow though I hope its not our performance" said Fluttershy. Rainbow sigh and smiled "Ofcourse its not our last performance we could always join competition or are own concert" said Rainbow. Then all of sudden someone entered the music room "Are you guys really that famous to already have your own concert" said Agua Lazuline. Pinkie ran to her and hugged "Your back, Your back, I missed you so much" said Pinkie pie. You got confused "Wait you two are close" you said. Agua approached you "Why, do you really think I'm that cold... Pffft I'm just kidding well Pinkie and I do hang out, anyway how are ya?" Said Lazuline. You smiled "I'm good what about you?, how was your business trip" you asked. Lazuline took a deep sigh "Thank God, it went all, I almost lost my patience on that one company... They think that there better than us even though there company is dying" said Lazuline. Rainbow also approached masculine "Can't say I didn't miss ya, say wanna hang out with us" said Rainbow. Lazuline blushed and smiled "Yes, I would like that" said Lazuline, then you pat her in the back "Hey wanna join us for tomorrow's last performance of the Rainbooms here at Canterlot university" you said. Lazuline smiled "Really? Can I?" Said Lazuline. "I don't see why not, I mean the more, the merrier right, plus it is always nice to have friends as a member," said Apple Jack. After rehearsing a couple times all of you decided to take a break, you decided to go at the faculty room to check in Zack and Hearty, and also to give them some snacks. When you got there you saw them arranging some papers and also writing something on them "Hey guys, are you two almost done?... Oh also Lazuline visited and she'll be performing with us tomorrow" you said. Hearty smiled "Great to know that she's visited, and don't worry where almost done" said Hearty, you thought that there gonna be surprised but there not. "Do you to know already know that she's back?" You asked. Zack giggled "Yeah, Hearty and I picked her up in the air port, and she did say that she might take visit here today" said Zack. You sigh "And you didn't bother to tell us" you said. "Well she did say she wanted to surprise all of you soo, we didn't say anything" said Hearty Fan. You sigh and smiled "well I brought you guys some drinks and snacks, I'll just put them down here" you said, then you say goodbye to them, and went back to the music room. And when you got there Twilight immediately asked you "Hey are they on there way here?" Said Twilight. You shaked your head "No, but they said that there almost done" You said. And a couple minutes later Zack and Hearty Fan finally joined you guys on practice, and all you are able to perfect your performance for the big day tomorrow "Alright, all we have to do now is wait for tomorrow, and lets give it our all like its our last gathering" said Sunset shimmer. And on that afternoon you and Rainbow went to the school's gymnasium, "Hey Rush do you remember, this is where you confessed your feelings for me" said Rainbow. You smiled softly "How could I forget, it's one of the happiest day of my life" You said. Rainbow held both of your arms "Back then when i found out what those carvings means, I thought that it might be just a coincidence or you purposely agreed to go with me their to give me a hint about what your feeling, but it turns out both of us didn't know what those carvings meant. And I hope we stay like this forever, cause I want to be that woman that you will bring to the alter someday... The one that you will marry someday" said Rainbow. And on that moment you kissed her on the same place where you both, found out about what your feeling on one another "Rainbow Dash, I promise you this, i will do everything just for us not to be apart, and I will always protect you no matter what, even if we grow old i will always be there by your side" you said. Then tomorrow morning, the graduation started, every students looks like there excited but also sad that there time on the school is over, the school that is once just a high school and not it has a college building and buildings for elementaries, and now it known as Canterlot University, a free School for everyone.

And now it's time for your performance a performance that will give courage and determination for the future colleges students and high school students, as you guys perform you and your friends can't help it but to tear up since this day is your final day at Canterlot University. To all of you, your adventures felt like yesterday, every moment of your lives as students you used them as a boost and energy on your song that borough everyone into to tears, you gave everything you've got on that performance. Because tomorrow is the start of a much bigger step on all of your lives. > Chapter 29: A Day that will Never be forgotten > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4 years have passed, when you and your friends graduated, and now all of you have jobs. You, Rainbow, Zack, Sunset, Hearty, and Twilight decided to become teachers at Canterlot University. And for your other friends Fluttershy has now have her very own animal shelter, Pinkie Pie is now the new owner of sugar cube corner, Rarity is running her very own Boutique, And AppleJack is now running there family farm. 8:40 am of the morning you were still teaching your advising class, and your subject to them is History "Alright, before I give all of you an early recess I have one last question... Who, defeated Grogar on the battle of Ancient Equestria?" You asked, some seems can't remember who it is but a bright young student raise her hand with confidence "Yes Sunny, stand up and pls tell us your answer" you said. Sunny took a deep breath "The one who defeated Grogar back then was... Ah, err, umm is.... King Starswirl?" Said Sunny. You sigh and smiled "You seem not so sure about your answer... Oh well your correct anyways King Starswirl did defeated king grogar... Well its now 9:45 you may now have your recess" you said, every student thanked you and left the classsroom. As you were checking some papers, Rainbow Dash entered the classroom and hugged you from the back "So how was, your third year as a teacher?" Asked Rainbow Dash. You smiled "Its okay and I'm really glad I'm teaching elementary students... At least for now, and the my new students well they are all smart, Zipp is being a bit like you on someway... Loud on the classroom" you said. Rainbow Dash pouted and pinched your cheek "I'm not that loud... Pffft, anyway I heard that Twilight will be the new Principal and Sunset will be the vice Principal" said Rainbow Dash. You got shocked a little bit "Woah, really well I'm not really that surprised since I'm expecting that to happen someday but this is way to fast" you said. Rainbow Dash giggled "We'll they are more than capable enough to ran the school, welp I better go, I still need go prepare somethings on the gym to make your students sweat" said Rainbow Dash, then she kissed you on the cheek and then she left. When she's gone you pulled out a ring, out of your bag "Later, I will be asking the biggest question of my life, God im really nervous" you whispered. Then all of sudden someone pat you on the back "Gee, your worrying too much just relax, and just go for it, better make sure find the right time" Said Hearty Fan, you were expecting Zack to jump on you like that but you remembered that his out of town with his advising class for a field trip. You giggled "Well, that's true... Hey what's is it like ya know getting married?" You asked. Hearty's eyes widen "Why are you asking me?" Said Heary Fan. You sigh "Well your the one who got married to Twilight a year ago..." You said. Hearty laughed "Oh boy, if Zack is here his gonna laugh at you hard, why didn't you ask Zack he got married to Sunset two years ago... But I think its better is you just experience is yourself mostly because its hard to explain" said Hearty Fan, then he pat you on the back once more and left the classroom. You took deep breath and told yourself, that you can do this and stop thinking negative stuff and just focus on both of your future. Before you went home, called Pinkie Pie for a favor, since your gonna propose to her favorite place to eat, the sugar cube corner. All you have to do now is too asked to eat at the said place, When she come out of the school you waved at her. And when she got to you, you asked if she wants to have a snack at the sugarcube before you both go home. Rainbow dash gave you a really excited and big smile "Ofcourse, I'm starving for some cookie ice cream sandwich" she said. When the both of you got to Sugar cube corner, Rainbow doesn't seem to notice that something is up, which is good since you really wanna surprise her. After she ordered something you told her to just wait for you at a table and you'll follow afterward, "So is everything set?" You asked. Pinkie pie grind "Everything is ready to go, also Zack and the children is back in town and ready for there entry" said Pinkie Pie. You smiled "Thank you for doing this for me" you said. Pinkie pat you on your shoulder "Your very welcome, so are you ready for your speech" said Pinkie Pie. After you and Rainbow are your little snack, Rainbow decided to hang for a while, which is perfect. You stand up, and stood right in front of her "Umm.. Rush, what are you doing?" Rainbow asked. You took a deep breath and calm your nerves down "Rainbow Dash, ever since I met you, you made me really happy, everytime we got grouped I can't stay focus since you are the only one who's been on my mind... You brought light and hope in my life, we've been into so many adventures together that I never thought I'll experienced with you... When you i found out that you felt the same way as me, it made me the happiest man there is... So Rainbow Dash, will you marry me?" You said, you felt a little unease since she silent. Then all of sudden Zack and the children fired up the confetti "Congratula....tions?... Umm too early?" Said Zack. Rainbow stand up "Yes!" Said Rainbow. You eyes widen, your head and heart felt so many emotions" Yes?" You said. Rainbow jumped out of joy, cried if tears of joy "Yes I will marry you" said Rainbow, then you both kissed each other. "Eeeeewww" said children. Zack giggled "Kids..., well that went well, even though where a little early" said Zack. Pinkie Pie squeeks "This is so exciting, so when will you guy get married" said Pinkie Pie. You and Rainbow smiled "We will soon tell you once where done planning" said Rainbow Dash. Then two months later, your getting ready for the happiest day of your life "So how do I look?" You asked. Zack smiled "You look great buddy, its about time that is your turn, you have no idea how much me and Pinkie waiting for this moment we already have tons of honeymoon plans for the both of ya" said Zack. You got shocked "Wait... What!? Really?" You said. Zack told you a little bit more details as you both walk your way through the halls of the church. And now it's finally time on the best moment of you life, seeing your future wife walk towards the hall, ready to take your hand as her husband. As the priest starts to spoke, it seem the time slowing down, it's not because something is happening its just your emotion. "Emerald Rush, do you take Rainbow Dash as your lawful wife" said the priest. You softly smiled "Yes father" you said. "And Rainbow Dash, do you take Emerald Rush as your lawful husband" said the priest. Rainbow also smiled softly "Yes father" said Rainbow Dash. "Good, May the heavens, land and sea be with you, you may now kiss the bride" said the priest. You lift up the veil that is covering her face, and held her cheeks and kissed her, everybody cheered, your parents friends, co-workers, even some students are there for your wedding. It truly is the best day of your lives, whatever happens next is all up to you. Thank you for staying till the end > Chapter 30: Meet the new Gang > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- As the sun rises Sunny Starscout is already ready to go before her alarm sets off a loud ringing. The moment her alarm rings she turns it off and immediately went down stairs to have breakfast with his dad, Argyle Starshine "Good Morning Sunny your early once again, but you really need to take it easy. You still have an hour before the school starts" said Argyle. After Sunny ate her breakfast she rushed to the bus stop to meet up with Hitch and Sprout "Hah! We beat you this time" said Sprout. Hitch laughed a little "Well the only reason I got here this early is, because I have to make sure you two made your assignments, you can't keep abusing Professor Hearty Fan's kindness" said Hitch. Sunny smiled and sigh "Dont worry I made sure that I did them, all of my assignments" said Sunny. Sprout grind "Same here, I finished it in a jiffy" said Sprout. Hitch smiled "Good, cause I don't want you two flanking on my watch" said Hitch. The three of them laughed, and waited for the bus to arrive. And when the bus arrived they went Inside of the bus and sat In the back sit "What do you think are we gonna do at Professor Zack's class today?" Asked Sunny. Sprout Scratch his head "What's his subject again?" Asked Sprout. Hitch sighs "This is our third month as a second year and you still haven't memorize which professor teaches what... Professor Zack is our geology teacher" said Hitch. Sprout pouted "Alright, alright I know that, I just forget sometimes" said Sprout. Sunny giggled "Awww, come on Hitch don't be so hard on Sprout" said Sunny. Hitch sighs "No I'm not, am I?" Said Hitch. Sprout nodded "You do seem like a parent sometimes, and you seem also get hard on most topics" said Sprout. Hitch sighs once more "Well whatever, besides where almost there" said Hitch. And when they arrived at Canterlot University, they immediately went to the library to double check if they didn't miss any assignments "You three are early again, but are you sure your getting enough sleep?" Said Twilight. They all smiled "Yes, Mam" said by the three of them. Twilight giggled "Go in now, let me just turn on the lights" said Twilight, and after Twiligt turned on the light's, Sunny, Hitch, and sprout sat down and took all of their assignments to check if they really did everything "Mine all good, what about you two?" Said Hitch. "Its all good, there all done" said Sprout. Sunny nervously Laughed "I.... Forgot one, it's science, proffeser Hearty's assignment" said sunny. Hitch face palmed "Really Sunny, thank god,it's not that hard, come on let us help you" said Hitch. As Hitch and Sprout help with Sunny's assignment they didn't know that Rush and Twilight were watching them "This Reminds me of that onetime where Rainbow also forgot to do her assignment and we have to help her" said Rush. Twilight giggled "Yeah, I remember that, Rainbow was really frustrated that she couldn't get the write answers even though where already hinting the answer... Congrats by the way on getting promoted from teaching elementary students to teaching second year students" said Twilight. Rush smiled "Thx, though I'm a bit nervous but also happy, and it appears that once again I'm the homeroom teacher of those three" said Rush. Twilight stretch her arms "Well that's not all you'll also will be teaching Zipp and pipp, those two being celebrities going on a public school might just boost our ranks as one of the best schools there is" said Twilight. Rush smiled "Yeah, what could possibly go wrong" said Rush. To be continued.... Sorry I know this story is way to short but Its just a sneak peak for the next story. See you all again soon^^ > October special: Zipp and the Dream Eaters > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Canterlot High, that is now called Canterlot University is now much livelier than ever, Principal Twilight and Vice Principal Sunset is making sure that every student is having fun while studying. And making sure that every teachers and students will get along, and of the canterlot ball won't disappear and it's even right around the corner once more. Everyone is excited especially the freshmen since it's going to be their first time to experience something like this, though Zipp Storm one of the known celebrity in the world, that is also a sister to Pipp Petals is not even in the slightest of excitement, probably it's because it's her third time, or It could be that shes uncomfortable getting asked by almost every guy on a dance. Well the dance is one of the reason, but mostly she's looking for an excitement something, that is puzzling or so to say something of a detective work. Since that is her dream, she doesn't want to be Celebrity on her whole life, she wants to be just like her father a Nobel and honorable detective that is now deceased. As Zipp is walking around the halls, she tried her best not to get annoyed with all the staring, she let out a deep sigh "And you can't even walk this halls without being stared by everyone, I just want to be normal" theat was her thought. To get her mind out of it, she pulled out her phone and started watching some unsolved mysteries, she smiled, though she was to focused on watching and analyzing every single detail on what the video is saying, that she bumped into someone unintentionally and that person fell into the ground "Oh my god, im so sorry" she said, as she offered a helping hand. Once her eyes met with the person she bumped she suddenly, felt fear down her spine, but she tried to keep her act cool and helped.... Him..... Up "It's fine don't worry about it, just watched where you going next time" said the person and he immediately left. Zipp couldn't help but to look at him as he walk away "what the hell is that.... What was that just now" that's whats on her thoughts, when all of sudden someone pinched her cheek and she got satrlted and screamed "Pipp what the HECK!?" she said. Pipp pouted, and crossed her arms "I've been trying to get your attention for two minutes, what is up with you?" She asked, Zipp took a deep sigh and grasp her chest, and she smiled " Nothing, just lost in the blue, why do you need something?" she said, Pipp warps her arms around Pipps arm "Lets go we still have a geology class to attend to" said Pipp, and Zipp ran along with her. As they both sat on the front seats, there proffered arrived "Okay today, where gonna have a short quiz.... Don't worry I made sure that it'll be easy since the canterlot ball is right around corner, and after we checked your answers we will go to the ball room and clean up, understood" said Zack. While Zipp is answering she suddenly saw a shadowy figure of a person outside the window that seems to be passing by, she gulped and her eyes locked into the figure, she cound't look away, when the shadowy figure is about to looked at her Zack leaned and looked at her in the eyes " Hey... your still in number 5, everyone is waiting for you to finish" said Zack. "CRAP.... It almost noticed me" she said in her thoughts, then a couple minutes later everyone is ready to go but for some reason Zack told Zipp to stay behind for a moment "Is there something wrong sir?" She asked. Zack sigh and checked Zipps forehead with his hand "You don't seem to be sick... You alright kid? Cause back there you seem really frightened is something going on" he asked, Zipp want's to tell him but she doesn't know If Zack is even going to believe her "I'm fine prof, im just been thinking a lot of personal stuff", Zack raise an eyebrow, and stared at her, that made Zipp think that maybe Zack is not buying it " Okay.... Well whatever that is, i just hope it doesnt affect your studying, go on now join your classmates" said Zack. While Zipp is walking towards the ballroom, she saw it again the shadowy figure standing infront one of the lockers, but she just ignored it and went as fast as she could into the ballroom, when she got there, she sat down and catch her breath "Damn it, why is this happening?" She said, as she took another deep greath. After taking a rest for a couple minutes she started helping out her classmates especially Pipp since she's not used to heavy works "You really need to work on your physical strength" she said jokingly to her sister Pipp. Pipp slaps Zipps shoulder "Are you calling me a wimp" said Pipp, And Zipp just laughed and Pipp can't help it but to just smile and started showing Zipp that she can lift, Pipp lift a stock of 40 chairs, Pipp smirked "See... I can lift" said Pipp. Zipp jaw drop and the rest of their classmates "How are you doing that? Said Zipp, Pipp put the chairs down and walked towards Zipp " I don't know, Its just happened sorta happened you know.... I Just found out that I have that kind of strength,the other day when my car keys fell into a man whole and I lift the metal cover with ease" said Pipp. Zipp scratched her head "How is that even possible.... Also you went into a meanwhile, is that why you smell horrible the other day" said Zipp, that made Pipp embarrassed. She covered her face and said "Dont say it to loudly" Zipp sigh and told Pipp to forget about the whole super strength thing and finish the cleaning up first, so after that they can try and figure out how Pipp suddenly got a some kind of super power. An hour later when they finished cleaning, Zipp tried to convince Pipp to go to Principal Twilight since despite being the principal, she's also a very well known scientist in the University. But Pipp told Zipp that they can do it some other since she doesn't want to be late on a shooting where she's gonna be a horror movie killer for the first time of her career "I guess it can wait" said Zipp, and then they part ways, while Zipp is driving her motorcycle to get home, she saw it once again but this time it's not on a window or on a locker, its sitting right behind her. Zipp eyes widen, her heart started to beat fast, tears started coming out of her eyes. She can't stop staring at it on her side mirror, as she stared at the figure on the mirror it started to manifest a face. When all of sudden she heard a honk from a truck, she tried to avoid it but it's too late she got hit. But as she was flying time seemed to slow down and the pain she was feeling started to dade away. She looked around and saw his professor "Prof?" She whispered, Zack carried her away and lay her down on the grass, she blinked for a moment and shes back to the parking lot of the school. She got confused but at the same time she was scared, she held her helmet tightly "Did that really happened.... It felt to real, what is going on here" she said. Zipp decided that she had enough and started looking around the school to find answers, she searched every single corner of the school but she couldn't find the shadowy figure, and when she anout to give up, she remembered that thing was standing in front of a locker..... Her locker, she ran towards the hall where her locker is and started searching for something that can help her "What is this?" She said, she was confused since she never put that there, but instead of worrying about how the book get there she started browsing the book, then she found it "Dream Eaters this shadowy figures are creatures that feeds to someone fears and thoughts, but the cant just target anyone, the only that they can target are the ones that can see them, so if you ever saw one make sure to avoid it and never approached. One last warning this monsters will turn them selves into humans that makes it harder to avoid them but there are signs. The first sign is they wear all black, but a lot of people where all black, that's where the second signs some In there hands will contain runes and few bumps those are the only two signs" Zipps gulps, since she just interact with one this morning, as she continued reading, she found out that thoze creatures will not stop until there victim is dead. As she stopped reading she felt that someone is standing behind her back, when she turned around she saw the same guy that she bumped into, he was staring at her, Zipp couldn't move it almost seems like she's glued to the ground "Move damn it... Move, I don't wanna die... Someone help me" those are the words she wished she could scream, she closed her eyes hoping that someone will help. The creature hands turned into blades and when its about to kill Zipp, a Professor hit the creature with a bat "Hey ugly, if you want my student you gotta get through me first" said Rainbow Dash menacingly, Zipp coudnt believe what she saw, she cried asked for Rainbow Dashe's help "Help me" Said Zipp. Rainbow Hugged her "Dont worry, your okay now, im here, I'll keep you safe" said Rainbow, then Dash told Zipp to go behind her back. Rainbow point her bat towards the creature "You are one ugly piece of garbage" said Rainbow, it seemed to pissed the creature off, and it started to run towards them when all of sudden it got blasted by someone erasing it out of existence "Well that was fun, it's been a while since I used that spell" said Lazuline. Rainbow sigh "Gee... I had it you know" said Dash, Lazuline giggled "As if, do you really think a bat is enough to kill that thing" said Lazuline, Rainbow is about to talk back to Lazuline when Zipp interrupted "Can someone pls tell me what's going on, ive been getting chased by that thing the whole day, im really confused and full of questions" said Zipp. Lazuline hold Zipps shoulder "Kid, there are things in this world that you never thought existed.... Like actual magic or mythical creatures, and it seems like you have the book of the damn there... Hold onto that that can help you" said Lazuline. Rainbow put her arm around Zipp "come on let's get out of here, the school is about to close, and once we meet up with your other proffesers and principal Twilight and Vice P. Sunset we will answer your questions" said Rainbow. Zipp scratched her head in confusedness "wait what!? What do you mean by meet up with them?" Said Zipp. Lazuline laughed "You'll see kid, you'll see" said Lazuline. And on that day Zipp's eyes widen to the world of magic and the dangers along with it, creatures and beings that human kind has no idea that ever existed.
