> Sweetie Belle Time Travels! > by SweetieBelleTimeT > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Chapter 1: What just... happened? > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- My Little Pony: Sweetie Belle's time travels. Before reading: Sorry if the story or grammar makes no sense, I'm pretty bad at my english so bare with me! I hope you love to read it though. Start. “Ah, isn't this great? Hanging out near the CMC club house? I think so, listening to the trees blow the wind, the sun shining down, and uh.. Sweetie Belle, what in the hay are you doing?” Scootaloo yelled. “What? I'm just trying to use my horn for once... have you ever seen me do magic with my horn?” Sweetie Belle replies, “She's got a point, Scoot” Applebloom tells Scootaloo, “Well.. I never seen a unicorn tie their legs hanging off a branch trying to use magic, but... how did you get up there?” Scootaloo asks, “Oh, Rainbow Dash flew me up here and helped out, she says hi by the way!” Sweetie Belle replies with a cheeky smile. “How are you goin' to get down, Sweetie Belle?” Applebloom asks, “She says she would come back in a hour, which is anytime now” Sweetie Belle was eager to do her magic, she tried so hard, she finally let out a spark from her horn, Scootaloo and Applebloom sat there silent, with their mouths dropped open as they notice her disappear slowly, “I'm doing it! Girls, I'm doing it!” Sweetie Belle shouts. “Uh... Sweetie Belle... you may want to stop!” yelled Rainbow Dash behind Scootaloo and Applebloom, “Rainbow, where'd you come from?” Applebloom shouts with a jump, “Me? I just flew here, an-” BWOOSH, strong wind crashes into CMC and Rainbow Dash... 800 years later... The same tree stayed there for years, more grown and taller, and the rope snapped years ago that Sweetie Belle was hanging from, things started to get a little gusty, Princess Cadence was lying down in the sun nearby, a few minutes later, it was starting to get really windy. Cadence looked around, “Funny... I swear it was fine a few minutes ago, and wind isn't meant to be here until night, Cadence speaks to herself, sparks started to come from that same spot Sweetie Belle used her magic from, “Girls! I did it! I did it! Wait... what?” Sweetie Belle looked up, which was down to the ground, she fell as the wind stopped, Cadence stood up fast and blasted like a cannonball to save Sweetie Belle. Sweetie Belle was caught without a scratch, “Cadence!” Sweetie Belle shouted, Cadence slowly settled to the ground, “Who are you?” Cadence asked, “You don't remember me?” Sweetie Belle replied. “No, I don't, young one” “I was at your wedding! With that basket in my hand filled with flowers, with 2 other fillies!” “Wedding... wedding... which wedding? I had so many weddings over the years...” “Shining Armor's wedding?” “Shining? Oh... I miss him, and all the others I married, Shining the most... And you are?” “I'm Sweetie Belle, wait, uh... how many weddings exactly?” “About... 15ish something weddings” “Wait... I was at your first wedding...” “Young Sweetie Belle, did you time travel?” Cadence asked, “I don't know... Did I?” Sweetie Belle replied, “I believe you did, I'm impressed by your skills of magic at such a young age!” Cadence stopped, and started talking to herself, thinking how a young filly could master a time travel spell “Sweetie Belle, I'm sorry to say this, but everypony you knew is no longer with us, that means uh... Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash... Uh... Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Applejack... and let's see... Rarity is gone, everypony in Ponyvile is gone” Cadence sadly informed Sweetie Belle... “What about Princess Celestia and Luna?” Asked Sweetie Belle, “Celestia was... assassinated by dark magic, and Luna banished herself to the moon since Celestia died, so...” Cadence sadly looked down at the ground, kicking the grass with her hoof, a tear of sadness rolled down from her eye... “Poor Celestia, she didn't do anything wrong, I miss her so much...” Cadence whispers to herself, “Cadence?” Sweetie Belle felt really sorry for not only Cadence but for everypony, “She died nearly 100 years ago now, next week, it's Celesta’s 1,800th birthday, and Luna comes down to remember her each year it's meant to be her birthday, I rarely get to talk to Luna, I hope this week she stays...” Cadence tells Sweetie Belle the sad story. “I'm sorry Sweetie Belle, but... I must get you back to your time, but it could take years just to find the right scroll for me to look at, and another scroll to bring myself back” Cadence again tells Sweetie Belle, Sweetie Belle tries to use her magic to pick up a flower to try and cheer Cadence up, sadly she failed and instead goes to pick one up, “Here you go, Cadence, I hope it cheers you up” Sweetie Belle puts the flower near her. “Uh... what magic was Sweetie Belle trying to do, girls?” Rainbow Dash asks, “I have no idea...” the CMC replies, Twilight Sparkle and Princess Celestia comes to the CMC clubhouse area, “Rainbow, what happened? I saw a giant green light from Ponyvile and so did Celestia” Twilight asks, “I don't know, other than Sweetie Belle using strange magic...” Rainbow Dash replies, “Strange magic? More like sparks coming out of her horn, disappearing in thin air and a blast of wind coming at our faces!” Scootaloo shouts. “That's impossible, did she make up this magic? Because it isn't in any of my books” Twilight replied to Scootaloo, “Twilight... just hearing this, sparks, disappearing, wind and green lights, I don't think this is a spell... Sweetie Belle may of just created her own spell” Celestia points out to Twilight, “So how do we bring her back?” Applebloom shouts at Twilight and Celestia, “Hey y'all! What’d you all doing?” Applejack appears behind Rainbow Dash, “Sweetie Belle just created her own spell now she's nowhere insight” Applebloom replied to Applejack, “Applebloom, I don't think we can bring her back... we'd need a strong detection spell” Twilight replies, “Hold on, Twilight, I can do just that” Celestia starts to use her magic, after a minute, Celestia gave up, “Girls... she isn't even on this planet anymore, no where... I can try again tonight to confirm this, otherwise you're just going to have to wait” Celestia tells. “Sweetie Belle, I thank you for the flower... but what happens just happens, even if we like it or not...” Cadence called out to Sweetie Belle, a green orb randomly comes out of Sweetie Belle's horn and just floats in-between them, the green orb starts to show Cadence and Sweetie Belle what happened shortly after Sweetie Belle time travelled. “Wait... I remember those to fillies now, Scootaloo and Applebloom, correct?” Cadence asks, “Yes, that's them, Cadence... how do I get back home?” Sweetie Belle asks, “Well... by looking at this scene so far... I don't think you can, the spell they're talking about time traps you, Sweetie Belle, you're stuck here... forever until the day you pass away, now come to the castle, where it's safe” Princess Cadence and Sweetie Belle starts to walk to Future Ponyvile. “Wow... Ponyvile is Ponycity now, and... oh... Celestia... The CMC is a big company now!? Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god!” Sweetie Belle cheers looking at the big skyscraper with a giant CMC at the front walkway, “It's wonderful, I know, that small clubhouse has expanded to all over Equestria, and take a look at the front...” Sweetie Belle runs to a stone slab, a letter from Scootaloo and Applebloom. “Dear Sweetie Belle, you have been gone for 4 years now, and we really do miss you... guess what? We got our cutie marks... but we're staying in the CMC to help ponies without their cutie marks, hopefully we can expand, Babs has 5 members, Babs also has her cutie mark., I hope we can become big soon, because it is looking that way... Rarity has missed you a lot, so are your parents, all of us thought you'd died by your own magic, but thankfully Discord... he tells us you're alive but in a different time in the future, I wonder what the future would be like! The first TV has been invented, a box to let you see images, but you should see it... I'm sure, just maybe a better picture, realism TV's maybe, super flat TV's, anyway... Sweetie Belle, we miss you a lot, we really want to see you... but I know that day will never come... good bye, Sweetie Belle... From Applebloom and Scootaloo.” > Chapter 2 Future: Future Rarity? Luna returns from the moon! > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Again, sorry for any bad english! After a very fast train trip to Canterlot Castle, it's so much bigger then it was 800 years ago, “Wow... the future is so awesome...” Sweetie Belle shouted as her voice echoed up the castle, “Princess Cadence, Welcome back to the castle, may I take this filly off your hooves?” a guard asks, “Why in Equestria would I do that?” replied Cadence, “Sorry Princess, it's rare to see you with a filly who is not known” replied the guard with sweat coming down from his forehead, “Uh... Princess, Luna is here...” another guard tells Cadence, “She's waiting for you in the main hall”, “I'll be there in a minute, I need to sort 1 thing out before I can see anypony at the moment” Cadence replied, she tries to hide a happy grin on the way to her room, “Sweetie Belle, I'm going to need you to wait in my room for now, I'll get somepony to send you... something from your time maybe?” Cadence asks, “Um... how about something from this time if I'm going to be stuck here?” replies Sweetie Belle, “Good point, alright, I'll be back in a few minutes, then we ca-”, “Or I could see Princess Luna and see if she can help?” Sweetie Belle jogs into Cadence's line, “Hmmm, It's possible, alright, I'll walk with Luna to here, but that can be a while” Cadence walks out of the room, a babysitter comes through the doors a few seconds later. “Luna! How great to see you, how come your here early?” Cadence asks, “Well. I am willing to accept my sisters death... what happens, happens...” Luna replies, “Funny, I just told a filly that no less then 10 minutes ago”, “Cadence, how is 'Sweetie Belle' doing?” Luna asks, “How did you... she's fine, right now she's playing with our technology, for her age” Cadence begins to wonder how Luna found out, “That's good, I'm here to stay, and unbanishing myself from the moon, I think Celestia would want me to stay” Luna says quietly under her black cloak, “Luna, she would want you to stay, and so do I, so how's life on the moon?” Cadence asks, “Well... it's like night time forever, stars slowly move while you get to look at the planet, and the sun, for as long as you want” replied Luna, “Sometimes I would love to that, going to the moon” Cadence replies with a smile. “Anyway, why don't we go to my room? Sweetie Belle is there, might be worth it” Cadence tries to convince Luna, “I agree, it will be worth it” Luna replies, Cadence and Luna walks to Cadence's room, “Cadence... I think Celestia is alive...” Luna called out, “What makes up think that? She died right in front of you” Cadence replies, “Not that kind of alive, spiritually alive, like... I can see her, everyday” Luna quietly wonders, “Well don't worry, you're thinking about her, and that's good, thinking of good ponies makes you feel better if you think about them the right way!” Cadence attempts to make Luna have a smile on her face. “Here we are... my room” Cadence opens to doors, and while seeing Sweetie Belle sitting on Cadence's bed crying, “Sweetie Belle, are you alright?” Cadence asks, “Yeah... it's just hard to know all of my friends and family are gone...” Sweetie Belle replies sadly, “Listen here Sweetie Belle, I know it's hard, loosing ponies that you knew for a long time, but what happens, happens... but Sweetie Belle, I can send you back to where you came from, if that makes you happy, but that could take years” Luna with a peaceful voice felt Sweetie Belle's feelings, it hurts. "So what are we going to do?" Sweetie sadly cried, "My guess... we start, it could take years, but I know this scroll hidden somewhere on this planet, no technology nor ponies can find it, only the Royal blood can find this scroll" Cadence with a cheer, "Really? You'd do that for me even after getting you into all this trouble?" Sweetie Belle questioned, "If Cadence will do it, so will I, Sweetie Belle, I need an adventure, not being stuck in a boring castle" Luna stood. "I don't want all of this to be taken for granted... it's just too kind to see 2 princesses help a young 800 year old filly" Sweetie Belle started to pull a grin, a happy one, maybe tears, Sweetie Belle knew she's going home, "So where do we start?" Sweetie Belle asked, "Well we'll get everything ready, you are free to explore Canterlot and Ponyville for now, we'll be gone in one week" Luna replied, Cadence nodded, both Cadence and Luna walks out the room. Sweetie Belle, in Cadence's room, sat there, thought, 'What kind of things can I do in the future?', a guard walked into the room, "Young Sweetie Belle, is it?" the guard asks, "Yup, that's me" Sweetie Belle normally called out, "Sweetie Belle, as a citizen of Equestria, everypony must need a tracker ID to track you in case you get lost, or know where to find you, please swallow this sweet, you can chew it if you want, also, Cadence has giving up a room in the Castle for you to stay in, we'll supply you with food and water, if there is any problems, please come see a guard, good bye Sweetie Belle" The Guard walks off, and out the room. Sweetie Belle knew she can't get lost now, she ate the sweet the guard given to her, with the lovely taste of jellybabies in her mouth, Sweetie Belle swallows and walks to the Castle's train station, before she chooses a train, she takes a look at the giant castle, "Wow... Thi-" Sweetie Belle stopped, she froze, 3 guards looked at her, Sweetie Belle was frozen solid, not in ice, just stopped like pausing a film, 2 guards run to her, to see how she is feeling. 1 hour later... "This... is... huh? Where- Where am I?" Sweetie Belle began to get worried, "Don't worry... you're in the hospital, you just froze, right in front of 3 guards" the nurse replied, "It's a rare condition on fillies, luckily I can cure you, all it takes is a small pinch? Ok Sweetie Belle?" The nurse asked, "I guess that's alrig- Ow, that hurt" Sweetie Belle replied, "I lied, I use that to keep small fillies calm" the nurse giggled, "Ok, Sweetie Belle, you can go now", Sweetie Belle slowly walked out of the room giving the nurse a strange look. Sweetie Belle goes for it again, suddenly a loud megaphone is set off "Alright, everypony, it is now dinner time, please go to the mess hole, ask any tour guides if you need help getting there, thank you" the megaphone message ended, Sweetie Belle saw a lot of ponies leave the big closed doors, so she decided to follow all the ponies walking, there were so many cutie marks Sweetie Belle never saw before when she was looking at everypony, Sweetie Belle sees a pony that looks exactly like her sister, Rarity, with the same cutie mark... > Chapter 2 Past: Sound dimension thingy portal > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Later that night in Ponyville, Rarity, crying her eyes out with tears loosing her sister, Fluttershy couldn't say anything without trying to make her feel worse, after all, Sweetie Belle is missing, “Oh why!? (cry)”, like in some episodes, Rarity pulls a chair with her magic like her usual self and cries more. A knock on Rarity's door, “Oh my... wonder who that good be at this hour” Fluttershy quietly called out, Fluttershy opens the door, and sees Princess Luna at the door, “H-Hello, Princess, what an honour...” Again with the sweet angel's voice Fluttershy called, “Hello, Fluttershy, Celestia sent me to see if there's anything I can do for Rarity” Luna called, without the royal voice. Luna slowly walks to Rarity as she cried, making puddles, soon her whole house will be flooded, “Rarity, are you alright? Is there anything the royal's can do for you?” Luna in a polite manner asks, “(Sniff) The only thing I would want... if Sweetie Belle can't be found, making a garden for her in Canterlot and in Ponyville, that's all I want...” Rarity stopped whining with cries and only tears came from her eyes. “Are you sure, Rarity? This is your only request?” Luna asks, “Yes, I'm sure, sorry you had to come here for such a short time” Rarity replies, “Nothing at all, Rarity, I'm spending a few nights in Ponyville until young Sweetie Belle has returned” Luna leaves with a reply of... mysterious words, Rarity has the feel she's being set up and forced to cry her eyes out, but she knew her friends would never do such a thing. One day has passed, it's now morning after Rarity was crying her eyes out, one cloudy day that the weather team didn't plan, but since they heard the news about a young filly disappearing, they thought it was because of that, the after effects maybe. Pinkie Pie with a high happy spirit hops around the streets, unaware what happened to Sweetie Belle, she hops past a missing sign of Sweetie Belle, she takes a deep surprised gasp and runs to the poster, "Missing? Sweetie Belle!? Last seen at Sweet Apple Acres tree house!? That's sad, why didn't my friends tell me? I know! Let's do- no, a party will upset Rarity, uh no, poor Sweetie Belle" Pinkie with random words sprained out her mouth, she takes another breath. Pinkie Pie just sat there, looking at the poster, minute... by minute... by minute, 1 hour looking at a poster, not turning her head, "Pinkie! You need to get indoors, one whale of a storm is coming in" Rainbow Dash shouted at her, Pinkie rolled on the floor and laughed, "Oh Rainbow, that's the best, one WHALE of a storm, Hahahaha" Pinkie laughed, "Yeah... whatever, but you need to get indoors!" Rainbow Dash started to pull Pinkie Pie away from the poster to the Cakes house. After Rainbow Dash pulled Pinkie into the Cake's house, they set eye on Princess Luna, "Hello, Luna! How are you?" Pinkie asked, hopping in one spot with a giant smile on her face, "Oh, I'm good, thank you, just asking around if they seen Sweetie Belle, but the Cake's keeps offering me to many things, I'm being held up" Luna replies, "Oh, we're holding you up?" Mrs. Cake asks. "I really need to get to work patrolling Ponyville for any... signs for Sweetie Belle, anyway, I'll just take 2 muffins and leave it at that, ok? Here's 10 bits" Luna gives the bits to the Cake's, and takes her 2 muffins, "Anytime, Luna!" the cakes wave Luna goodbye. Pinkie Pie looks out the window back at the poster and sat there... again, Rainbow Dash lets out a grumpy "Ugh" and leaves, although the Cake's didn't see her enter or leave, strangely. On the other side of Ponyville, Rarity was at the investigation site from where Sweetie Belle disappeared, she looks at the rope, thinking how Sweetie Belle managed to do advanced magic but disappeared, she picks a flower with her magic and ties it around the rope, she started to cry as the rain started to pour, sitting there, where the Royal Guards are investigating, "Ms. Rarity, please take this raincoat" a guard offers her, "No thank you... (sniff) I just want... to be alone for know..." Rarity lets out more tears as she replies and walks off back home. The rain was more heavy as she cried, she sees Luna at pony's doors, asking if they seen Sweetie Belle, Rarity sits in the middle of the wet road, watching Luna as she asked, "Hi, Lyra Heartstrings is it?" Luna asks, "That's me, princess" Lyra replies, "Listen, Canterlot is doing a huge investigation over a disappearance of a filly named Sweetie Belle, by any chance you seen her?" Luna questioned, "Hmmm... I don't think so... Bon Bon, Princess is at our door!" Lyra shouted, Bon Bon walked to the front door and sees Luna. "Yes, princess?" Bon Bon asks, "Canterlot is doing a huge investigation over a disappearance of a filly named Sweetie Belle, by any chance you seen her?" Luna questioned, "Sweetie Belle... well not really, but... I heard her voice yesterday, near a house, and also a female pony mentioning Sweetie Belle would want to look at in Canterlot" Bon Bon replies, "You heard her voice?" Luna replies, "Yes, sounded like Sweetie Belle, the other one also sounds like Princess Cadence" Bon Bon didn't know it, but that was from the future. "Wait, Sweetie Belle and Princess Cadence's voice? where about did you hear this voice?" Luna questioned, "Near Sugar Cube Corner, around there" Bon Bon replies, "Thank you, Bon Bon, this information is most useful I've got today" Luna gives Lyra and Bon Bon a bye and leaves, by sees Rarity watching her, "Bon Bon... she heard my sister?" Rarity asked, "I think so, Rarity, anyway the garden in Canterlot is almost complete, hope this gets your hopes up" Luna smiles and walks off to find that sound near Sugar Cube Corner. Twilight and Pinkie Pie is already near Sugar Cube Corner investigating, "Twilight, what are you doing?" Pinkie asks, "Last time Pinkie, I'm looking at this sound dimension thingy, it's getting weak, but I'm trying to listen for a message" Twilight replies, "A what what thingy?" Pinkie Pie asks and falls over, Pinkie Pie moves across the floor with her back legs. > Chapter 3 Future: Time lost sisters. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- After seeing a bunch of ponies walking to the mess hall, she catches up with them, and tries to look at that... Rarity pony, although it's impossible, how did Rarity time travel? It's advanced magic, Sweetie Belle decides to ignore it and go for food, after all, that crazy day must of made her hungry! Sweetie Belle gets in line and waits. After a few minutes of waiting, Sweetie Belle sees all kinds of new foods she never seen before, but luckily, most of the foods she ate in the past are on the menu, "Next" The cook called out to the line, "Alright kid, what do you want?" The grump cook asked, "Um... one chocolate milkshake... one salad sandwich... and some potato chips please" Sweetie Belle ordered, "Here you go kid... don't screw your future", Sweetie Belle got a bit confused since she doesn't use magic yet... she looks at a sign that says "These trays are hoof free and floats", well that made Sweetie Belle's day. Sweetie Belle decides to sit next to that "Rarity", but her table is full, well apart from one seat, she attempts to get it before anypony takes it, she sits down on the plastic stall, the hover tray settles in front of her and dispenses a fork for the chips, Sweetie Belle looks to her left, one the other side of the table was that Rarity, Sweetie Belle kept an eye on her, she begins to dig into her food. She listened, she watched, Sweetie Belle would dare loose eye contact from that pony... "So Rarity, hows that search for your lost friend?" A male pony asks, "Not very well... I don't think I'll ever see her again, it's been 10 years searching for her, but I will have to leave soon, far far away" Future Rarity replies to the male pony, "Well that's a bummer, what does she look like? I might of seen her" The male pony asks, Sweetie Belle couldn't see the male pony because she was small, "This is what she looks like..." Rarity hands over a picture of Sweetie Belle, but Sweetie Belle's size is really helping stay away, "Oh, no, sorry, but I never seen this pony before" The male pony hands the picture pack to Rarity. Sweetie Belle quickly eats her food and takes a laaaarge sip out of her milkshake, "Careful little one, rushing on milkshake gives you a brain freeze!" A female sky blue pony says to Sweetie Belle, Sweetie Belle finishes the milkshake and runs off to find Princess Cadence, Rarity sees the end of her tail but didn't see Sweetie Belle fully, so she didn't bother to look. After traveling around the castle to the throne room, she finally finds it, "Princess Cadence, I think my older sister is here!" Sweetie Belle shouted, Cadence sitting on the throne flicking through papers looks at Sweetie Belle, "Your old sister is here? But that's impossible" Cadence replies, "No, really, I saw her, ponies kept calling her Rarity, she looks 100% like her, maybe a few wrinkles" Sweetie Belle stated, "If 'Rarity' was here, I would of saw her, but I think you're just missing her so your mind is playing tricks on you" Cadence replied. "She looked very real!" Sweetie Belle describes, "If you think it's that Rarity, I suggest you stay away from her, I don't want a Paradox happening, it could ruin the whole universe, sorry, but if she offers you to go back in time, just say no, no matter what, you got me?" Cadence ordered, "But... what if... you know what? You're right... but if finding this scroll to take me home works, would that destroy this universe?" Sweetie Belle asks, she's worried for all of Equestria here, and she won't kill many ponies from a Paradox, "It won't, don't worry, this scroll will not create a paradox, only Future Rarity would... sadly pass away because she would of never of came here, and everypony who saw you will forget you in a blink of an eye, me and Luna won't, because we're protected" Cadence replies. "So Future Rarity goes, but the Rarity I know would still stay?" Sweetie Belle questioned, "Yes, so there is no need to fear, just stay out of Future Rarity's way" Cadence replies, Cadence smiles at Sweetie Belle, and Sweetie Belle begins to trust her. Future Rarity finishes up her food, and leaves, she puts up a paper poster on the mess hall, and leaves, "I miss you, Sweetie Belle... I would do anything to see your- Sweetie Belle?" Rarity hears Sweetie Belle's voice, she closed up against the wall to hear Sweetie Belle's chat with Cadence, "So Future Rarity goes, but the Rarity I know would still stay?" Sweetie Belle questioned, "Yes, so there is no need to fear, just stay out of Future Rarity's way" Cadence replies. "Oh my gosh... this is bad... " Rarity panics, she thinks and thinks how to pull this one through, "How'd Sweetie Bell see me?" Rarity asks herself, she listens to more... "I'm sorry Sweetie Belle, but what happens, happens..." Cadence felt sorry for Sweetie Belle, with Rarity spying, she is willing to do anything to get Sweetie Belle back home, but now wasn't the right time, Rarity takes a look at her watch, 'You have 1.8 years remaining in the future' the watch shows, Rarity gets out her radar and fins Sweetie Belle, she selects Sweetie Belle to be on her track list, Rarity walks off to pack her stuff, and get's ready to follow them. "Also, Cadence, you said earlier today you wanted to show me something, is now a good time?" Sweetie Belle asks, "Now is the right time, please follow me to the garden" Cadence replies, and starts to walk to the garden with Sweetie Belle following her, they get to the garden door after a 5 minute walk in the big castle, there laid some grass, hedges, roses, and a golden statue of Sweetie Belle, the statue was twice Sweetie Belle's size. "Wow... who built this?" Sweetie Belle asks, she walks to the statue and looks left to right, admiring the garden, "I do not know, but it was a request from some pony from your time..." Cadence replied, thinking back into her past with all those good memories from the past, "I wonder who built it for me..." Sweetie Belle looks into her golden statue... "Rarity, have you found your friend yet?" the male pony from the mess hall asks, "Yes, I have, Walkers, but Cadence has put orders on her not to see me" Rarity replied, Rarity and Walkers walk into a hotel room in Canterlot, "Orders?" Walkers asks, "If I told you everything from start to finish, it will all make sense, but they say if I take her back home, a time event happens, crushing the future" Rarity lies to Walkers, "So your friend is depended on Cadence to stop this Paradox?" Walkers questioned, "Yes, it would, but if I can't take her home, I may as well help them later on... whenever that would be..." Rarity replies, "Well I've got to go see my girl friend, Rarity, see you soon, I hope you can see your friend soon" Walkers walks out of the room, leaving Rarity sad about loosing her life after everything she done that got her that far would erase her life but her past self stays... > Chapter 3 Past: Cutie Mark Sadness > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Scootaloo, Applebloom, there's ah sound dimension Twilight and Luna found! Sweetie Belle is heard from it!" Applejack shouted from the bottom of the CMC clubhouse, "Twilight and Luna found a sound thingy?" Scootaloo asks, "They sure did, now come on, you don't want to miss this, girls" Applejack starts to walk to Ponyville, "Applebloom, do you think we should go?" Scootaloo asks, "Ah think we should go, I won't dare miss a event with a missing pony friend" Applebloom storms out of the clubhouse and joins up with Applejack, "Wait, I'm coming too!" Scootaloo shouts, she runs to join up with Applejack and Applebloom. "Also girls, Babs is coming down, when she heard what happened to Sweetie Belle, she had to come" Applejack reported to the girls, "Babs is coming!?" Scootaloo and Applebloom called out with happiness, and sadness at the same time, "Babs is coming alone, so sorry for not seeing the other 2 crusaders, they're out on holiday since Sweetie Belle disappeared" Applejack told the girls, "That's ok, we can meet them another time" Applebloom replied, "If you go to the site where Twilight and Luna is, which is near sugar cube corner, I'll go get Babs from the train station, she's due to come in the next 10 minutes" Applejack walks off to the train station. Applebloom and Scootaloo kept walking, finally after a 2 minute walk they arrived, the Cakes were getting lots of orders, cake after muffin after cake, nearly all of Ponyville were there, but had to be quiet for as the sound dimension was getting weaker and weaker. Twilight kept listening, and put a megaphone next to the area, since the dimension was invisible, they can only put the megaphone where it can be heard most, 5 minutes later of nothing, Babs and Applejack arrives, "Hi girls!" Babs shouted, "Sshh, Twilight is trying to investigate, silence is needed" Applebloom whispered, Twilight begins to use a spell to make the dimension thing visible, a puff of purple cloud came from the dimension thing, it was getting smaller... smaller and smaller... to nothing. "Well that's terrible, the portal disappeared! Looks like the CMC doesn't get they're playdate!" Silver Spoon shouted somewhere in the crowed, "Oh for the love of Celestia, let's get out of here, I'm fed of of Sweetie Belle now" Scootaloo storms away from Applebloom and Babs, "Scootaloo, that's no way to react, she's your friend, Scoot, and you're turning your back on her just because of the attention she caused?" Applebloom asks, "No... it's not that, I'm turning my back on her... for what she did, she's been missing for 1 day now, she made this problem herself, she's maybe somewhere else in Equestria getting screwed over because of how much a failure she is!" Scootaloo with anger stormed away from Applebloom and Babs. "Ah... we... ugh... Scoot, don't do this..." Applebloom whispered, she slowly drops a tear to the ground, Scootaloo's words broke her heart to the center, "Applebloom, don't listen to Scootaloo, she's feeling the same inside but hiding it, she's scared and doesn't want to be involved in any of this in the near future" Babs tried to cheer Applebloom up, but it only made it worse, Applebloom started to cry, feeling weak inside, helpless and missing a friend in need, "Sweetie Belle... please come back... please..." Applebloom whispers. "Scootaloo, that was just cruel on what you did to your friends, how could you do that?" Rainbow Dash asked from a top of a cloud, "I don't know, I just really want Sweetie Belle to come back, I'm not sure if she's dead or just... somewhere else far away... oh what have I done?" Scootaloo asks herself, she felt guilty after confessing what happened, "Hey, don't feel like that, I did the same thing when one of my friends went missing, she twisted her leg, couldn't be found for a few days, I was being so mean to everypony, she returns, I was happy, I wouldn't leave her alone for a minute, why should you do the same thing I did when I was your age?" Rainbow Dash tells Scootaloo. "Rainbow... don't make me feel like that... it's annoying" Scootaloo embarrassingly tells Rainbow Dash, "Sorry if I'm making you feel 'that' but you should go say sorry to your friends" Rainbow Dash orders, "You know what, you're right... but not anytime now, I just need to spend some time alone..." Scootaloo slowly walks away from Rainbow Dash, with guilt and shame. "Applebloom... don't worry, don't be sad" Babs told Applebloom in the CMC clubhouse, "How can ah? Ah don't think life will ever be the same for me, "Applebloom, it's ok, Scootaloo just snapped, I'm sure she'll come around and says sorry" Babs stated, "Ah'm not sure if ah can accept Scoot's apology... She's not being the friend that we all need..." Applebloom lowered her head. The door crashes open, Scootaloo shows an angry face and walks up to Applebloom, "YOU... have a message" Scootaloo stops the angry face, and turns to sadness, "I'm really sorry, Applebloom... I snapped out, I'm really scared... I have the feeling we're all going to die... without notice... I'm really sorry to you aswell, Babs, coming into Ponyville and first thing you see is me shouting at Applebloom..." Scootaloo lowered her head... "I'm sorry to both of you... I'll do anything to make it up for you" Scootaloo begged. "Anything, Scoot? The only thing you can do was completed less then 5 seconds ago, saying sorry! And I forgive you, these things happen, a lot, but not disappearing in front of your eyes and being sent somewhere else" Babs says with a smile, "Scoot... you really... enlightened me, and you know what, if Sweetie Belle stays missing, we may aswell travel on a journey, together, maybe with Rainbow Dash, my sister, Rarity, Fluttershy, Twilight and Pinkie, if you'd do anything, Scoot, ah'd need you to join the quest with me" Applebloom asked with courage, "I'd do anything to find Sweetie Belle, I'll join you... but convincing the ponies to join us would be hard..." Scootaloo stated, "I'll... I'll join" Babs offered to go, "Babs, you sure?" Applebloom asked. "Yes, infact, you girls showed me what it's like to have good friends, and a good cousin at the same time, I owe you a favor for that" Babs was ready to go, "Good to have you on our explorer team" Scootaloo smiled, "Right, how are we going to get the rest to join us?" Applebloom asks both, "Well we ask, simple, but going to each every one of them I say we got those 6 ponies to meet somewhere and ask them while they're all together" Scootaloo reported, "Good idea... I hope it's worth it" Babs replied. The CMC were ready to begin an adventure, but will they succeed in they're task? Getting the mane 6 in one spot to go on a adventure? And finding Sweetie Belle who is 800 years in the future? Maybe, maybe not... > Chapter 4 Future: EBC News: Sweetie Belle report. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "If somepony requested to have it built for you... it would be your sister" Cadence replied to Sweetie Belle, "Hello Cadence... it's time to lower to sun, I'll do the moon tonight" Luna told Cadence, "Luna, if you want, I can do both for you" Cadence insisted, "It's alright, I'll do the moon, it's something I owe you for not being here" Luna replied, "Ok then, Luna..." Cadence's horn glowed, as the sun slowly went away over the balcony, the statue turned from solid gold to sparkling night, showing stars, galaxies, space clouds, Sweetie Belle was amazed, seeing that kind of magic on a golden statue. "Ok, Luna... feel free to raise the moon at anytime" Cadence walked back into the castle, Luna lowered her head, a tear came from her eye, "Oh Celestia... I miss you so much..." Luna whispered to herself, Sweetie Belle kept looking around the garden, it was like a maze, Sweetie Belle stopped looking around and looked at Luna, "Hey, Luna, what's wrong?" Sweetie Belle asked, "It's... just the first time I'm going to be raising the moon without my sister... it means a whole lot to me raising the moon... " Luna put her head up, sniffed, and started to raise the moon with her horn. After the moon fit it's place, the planet stood still, Sweetie Belle wasn't moving her eyes, nor blinking, the wind stopped, all the noise from Canterlot is not heard, it was dead silent, "That's one huge step you took, sister... You are a very brave girl I ever grew up with..." a voice chambered down the castle's hallways behind Luna who stood in front of the door, Luna could move, but nopony else, "Celestia... is that you?" Luna was worried she's gone mad, she never seen anything like this in her life, "It is me, Luna... I just want to congratulate you for raising the moon without me around, after all, not doing it with somepony you always did it with can be changing in the heart within" The voice of Celestia answered. The planet started to move again, Sweetie Belle was blinking, wind started to brew, the noise from Canterlot could be heard, "Luna, are you ok?" Sweetie Belle asked, Luna was pulling a sad face, more sadder before she raised the moon, "I'm fine, Sweetie Belle, just trying to get hold of myself" Luna replied, Luna walked through the doors, "Sweetie Belle, I suggest you come inside, I'll take you to your room" Luna asked, Sweetie Belle followed her into the castle. The doors behind them shut closed, giving Sweetie Belle a fright, the lights on the ceiling lit up without a pony flicking a switch, red fake fire lit up on the torch stands, multiple lights could be seen from the stained windows, "Luna, you got to cheer up, you accept Celestia's death, it happened, and you're still sad about her, she doesn't want to see you sad right now" Sweetie Belle's attempt to cheer Luna, "I... you're right, Sweetie Belle, anyway, your room is... to your left, look for a door with Sb on it, and when it asks you for ID, just say your name" Luna walked off, Sweetie Belle turned left into the corridor. "RT... RU... RV, RW... X... Y... Z... SA... SB! Here we go!" Sweetie Belle walked towards the door, "Hello, please give proof of ID like your voice, name, hoofmark, code or pin" A machine asked, "Uh... Sweetie Belle" Sweetie Belle answered, "Verifying... complete, please enjoy your stay in Canterlot Castle, you are a very lucky pony" The machine opened the door for Sweetie Belle, Sweetie Belle's mouth dropped open, her room was really cool by her thoughts, but better then Cadence's room, her room was a classic boring old room from her times, this room was awesome, blue LED lit up tubes going around the room, the bed, the TV, giving it a feeling the future room was her room to begin with, the lights turned on when Sweetie Belle stepped on the red carpet, giving the right amount of light to look around rather then using candles, the TV turned itself on, with a really amazing 3d texture quality on the screen, it switched to EBC News - Equestria Broadcasting company, Sweetie Belle looked at the TV to look at the latest news that happened so far, there was a brown male pony sitting next to the same female skyblue pony she saw at the mess hall. "...the alicorn amulet is now hidden from public, So, Mrs. Apple, did you know the original pony of the Cutie Mark Crusaders from 800 years ago entered Canterlot castle today?" The male pony asked, "I didn't, I wonder if this original pony was friends with my ancestors, Applebloom, Babs Seed, you've heard of them?" Apple replied with a question, "I sure did, this is the same pony, a young filly named Sweetie Belle entered the castle with Princess Cadence, Sweetie Belle has a garden in Ponyville and Canterlot due to a tragedy, in the CMC history book, Sweetie Belle disappeared while she was practicing her magic near Ponyville, the hero's of Equestria and the two other princesses, Princess Celestia and Luna was involved to find this young filly, since the investigation failed, Applebloom, Babs Seed and Scootaloo tried to get the hero's to help them travel all over the world to find Sweetie Belle, and uh... oh dear, the bottom of the paged is ripped out... sorry folks, but otherwise, Reports say Sweetie Belle is travelling with Princess Cadence and the Princess of the moon, Luna, Luna returned from the moon! Now that's something, Princess Luna is back, everypony, These three ponies are going to travel Equestria without transport, now fancy that... in other news-" The male pony's report finishes with Sweetie Belle. Sweetie Belle felt embarrassed by the report, really embarrassed, she's well known now. > Chapter 4 Past: Time spirit ghost. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3000 miles away from Equestria, a dark star night, full moon with small puffs of clouds, everything was fine... But in a tomb, hundreds of thousand years old, dusty and crawling with spiders, hidden from plain sight, lit a blue flame right near the center... In old history books, this tomb only appears when something or somepony time travels, and stays for a decade, the spirit sleeps for a long time until time is being modified. "Gilda, why are we here? In the middle of nowhere miles away from towns?" A green Pegasus asks Gilda, "I'm looking for something, something to prank my old friend since we were kids..." Gilda kept walking while the pegasus slowed down due feeling something coming up the ground, "Gilda... stop, and uh... prepare your wings... I feel something..." The green pony panicked, as the shaking got stronger and stronger, a large stone building came shooting out the ground 200 meters away from them, "A tomb? Shooting out of the ground just like that? Aw sweet, I didn't know you could feel stuff like that" Gilda was excited to find something to prank Rainbow Dash, she toke off with a burst of wind, flying towards the old building, "Uh... I can... Gilda wait up!" The green pegasus flew off the catch up with Gilda. After 20 seconds, they make it to the front entrance, as no other entrances could be sighted, "Are you scared... Dewb?" Gilda pulled a face at the pony, "Uh... ye- no, no I'm not" the pony replied, "Then let's go in and take a look inside, there has to be something in here" Gilda walked into the dark entrance, as she walked in, all the torches on the walls lit up by themselves, the green pony got really scared as if death was upon them, or atleast something horrible. "Who dares wake me?" A female voice echoed to Gilda, "G-Gilda, I'm looking for something to prank a friend of mine!" Gilda shouted, "Gilda... who are you talking to?" The green pony asks with fear, "Don't you hear her voice?" Gilda asked, "Of course she wouldn't, you wanted to come in, not her, and I'm afraid what you're looking for isn't here, I do not have such content to prank your friend... since you woke me with your steps, you'll be punished" The voice echoed again with anger, "Wait! What'd I even do!?" Gilda shouted, a stone wall appeared between the pony and Gilda, "You, pony, I suggest you leave, I'm not going to do anything bad to you, but leave here, and never come back..." the voice echoed to the pony, the pony flew right out of the walkway as fast as she could. "So... griffin... since you went through all that trouble to wake me... just to find a prank, I'm sending you into the past, by 800 years!" A blue flame lit around Gilda, "Wait, I wasn't expecting any of this! Don't do this to me!" Gilda shouted, she ran forawrd and tripped the flames, a flaming red hand grabbed her back into the time flame, "You got no choice... you're staying there... forever" The voice echoed down with a evil laugh, Gilda just sat there and cried, the flames went high into the air and flew straight into Gilda. All those fun times she had was now being erased from her time, since childhood, everypony she knew forgot about her, forever, only she remembers them... After no success of the CMC trying to get the mane 6 to gather without being busy trying to find Sweetie Belle, everypony started to give up, but Rarity would do anything, anything at all! Earlier that day, Spike offered to help Rarity tidy Sweetie Belle's room, not selling anything, just tidy, "I thank you so much, Spike... here's a gem in return, Please... just turn it into jewelry, it's one of Sweetie Belle's favorite types of gems" Rarity handed other a purple pinkish gem to Spike, "Rarity, I thank you for the gem, and I promised I won't eat it! I'll do something with it, but... Dᴀᴍɴ ʏᴏᴜ ɢᴇᴍ, I'll keep it safe, promise!" Spike offered, "You're so sweet, Spike..." Rarity finished up Sweetie Belle's room by tidying her teddy bears and placing them near Sweetie Belle's pillow. Spike felt something being delivered, a green flame burped out of Spike with a newspaper, "Why would Celestia send Twilight a newspaper?" Rarity asked, "I've got no idea... wait, legend of the time tomb discovered! Oh wow" Spike gave the newspaper to Rarity to take a look at, "I wonder... I heard legends that a spirit in this tomb could recover lost time friends or family, I wonder if Sweetie Belle time traveled..." Rarity asked herself, "That's impossible, how could Sweetie Belle know such advanced magic anyway?" Spike asked. "Good point... well... Spike, are you ok?" Rarity asked, "Yup... just another letter..." Spike replied with a green flaming burp, a scroll came onto the ground, labeled 'For Rarity', Rarity looked at the label and opened the scroll. 'Dear Rarity. Under some investigations, I sent you this newspaper for clues where Sweetie Belle may of disappeared to, but I wouldn't try going to this tomb just yet until we can't find anything else to try and solve this investigation, I will send you a location when this time may come, so please take a look a the paper and keep it safe for future reasons. Your sincerely, Princess Celestia' What a short letter, Rarity thought, Rarity didn't take any further actions yet until Spike leaved her house, "Spike, you did a great job, here's some bits aswell, buy yourself something like an ice cream, it's up to you, I got some work to do alone" Rarity gave the 5 bits to Spike,, "Alright Rarity, you take care" Spike exited the building, with happiness, he would do anything for Rarity! After a few hours of a normal day, the green pony that was with Gilda appeared in Ponyville in a panic, first pony she spoke to was Rainbow Dash to explain what happened to Gilda since she knew Gilda most, "What? Who in the hay is Gilda!?" Rainbow asked, "She was your friend you grew up with, a griffin!" the pony tried to explain, "I wouldn't be friends with a griffin, Lime Jelly, never, I hate their attitudes, but they are good creatures" Rainbow Dash got a little bit confused, "You know what, Rainbow? Fine,,, just... ugh, fine," Lime Jelly flew off in a strassed mood. Lime Jelly decided to go find Pinkie Pie, since Gilda told a story about her, she thought Pinkie Pie would be the pony to tell, "Ok... Gilda said something about... uh... Sugar Cube Corner..." Lime Jelly told her self, she looked for a candy-like building while flying over Ponyville, she sights the building and walks in, "Oh hello there, Lime Jelly, anything I can get you?" Mrs. Cake asked, "I'm looking for Pinkie Pie, I go news to tell her, it's urgent" Lime Jelly quickly replied. > Chapter 5 Future: Day 2 - AH! YOU'RE WRINGLY! > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Before Sweetie Belle tucked herself into bed, she thought to herself 'My first night in the future... in a nice luxury bed' Sweetie Belle was amazed at how much work was put into mattresses these days, rather than those old ones with springs, it felt like this room was her home, like she was meant to be in the future, after all, she's get a week left before she has to travel across the globe or Equestria to find a scroll to send her back in time. With the TV still on and yet no idea how to turn it off, she tried for hours to turn it off, she used her voice, movemeants, blowing at it, future TV's looked so much confusing than the 'leaked' black and white TV she saw in the newspaper, and it looked pretty easy to use, but this TV was nothing like it. A knock is heard on the door, "Sweetie Belle, you have a visitor at your door, your guest is Princess Cadence, would you like to invite her in?" the machine asked, "Yes! Please" Sweetie Belle begged, trying to turn off the annoying TV, "Sweetie Belle, is everything ok?" Cadence asked as she walked through the door, "No, this TV won't turn off at all!" Sweetie Belle gave up trying, "Sorry for not telling you how to turn things on and off in these times, here - Mr. TEEVEE, power down" Cadence ordered the TV, "Yes ma'am" The TV replied, finally, Sweetie Belle's nerves stopped. "Thank you so much, Cadence! I've trying to turn this off for hours!" said Sweetie Belle, "You're welcome, by the way... here's a guide book for technology today, it may come in handy" Cadence handed a book over to Sweetie Belle, labelled "So you're a newbie to technology?", Sweetie Belle giggled at the title a little, "Alright, you get some sleep now" Cadence left the room to return the throne, even though it was nearly 10pm, she had to finish up some letters, Sweetie Belle climbed onto her new bed... that felt as soft as cotton candy. Tick... Toc... Tick... Toc... 'Good morning, please prepare for a loud annoying train sound to wake you up, deploying in 3... 2... 1... RRRRRRNNNNNGGGG' What a alarm clock.... "AAAAH What in the hay!? Turn it off!" Swwetie Belle wrapped a pillow over her head after a 'not so good' wake up call, the train sound stops at Sweetie Belle's relief, 'Train alarm is off, would you like to have breakfast in bed and TV?', Is this machine polite or what? Was this machine designed to be like this? "Uhm... sure, Mr. Talking voice..." Sweetie Belle sat up, ready for her breakfast. "Good morning, Equestria! You're tuned into EBC news, It is now 8:32am Saturday, and we have some upcoming news for you, here are the headlines, the official CMC history book was removed from the CMC HQ is Ponyville under a order by the Captain of the Royal guard, reports say it was for 'Safety reason', accident near Appleloosa, 2 ponies broke their bones under rock in a mining accident, and last, Next week... is Princess Twilight Sparkle's 800 year anniversary! Yes, a huge party will happen in Ponyville and Canterlot is take place, and the legendary 5 ponies aswell, but only in hologram, their buried bodies are brought to life for this-" The News announcer told Equestria. "Wait... WHAT!?" Sweetie Belle yelled at the TV, the door opens as Luna walks in, "Are you alright, Sweetie Belle?" Luna asks, "Yes, I'm fine, it's... Twilight! Twilight's here, isn't she?" Sweetie Belle thought talking to Twilight would take her home, so asking Luna or Cadence will be the way to go, "Twilight... she's... maybe?" Luna wasn't so sure either, wondering why she hasn't seen Twilight yet in the castle, 'Breakfast is served' a trap door in the ceiling opens up and lowers a tray of food, "I'll go ask Cadence later, besides, I've got a meeting to get to, take care, Sweetie Belle" Luna walked off closing the door behind her. Good old memories... Twilight the unicorn... now an Alicorn... a lot sure has happened, she thought... right now, the only thing on Sweetie Belle's mind was... FOOD! A good breakfast to start the day. After 5 minutes of eating, she finishes up, 2 metal hands grabbed the food tray and went through that same trap door in the ceiling, she jumps out of bed and decides to go to Ponyville and check it out, then ask Cadence later, things are crazy, first time travel, second, being told Twilight and her friends died, third, frozen at the castle's train station, fourth, seeing her sister and now Twilight is alive and is a alicorn? What's next? a kangaroo version of king kong in Canterlot? She takes a trip to Canterlot train station just to be safe, although... on the way she get's lost, but if it wasn't for these flying direction robots, she wasn't lost at all! She finally makes it to the train station! Future trains... how would they work? It was simple when she went to the castle because the Princess did it all, she see's a line for a ticket booth, luckily it was shrinking fast before the train went, about a 2 minute wait. 'Identifying... Sweetie Belle, ID#4526792, Status: Free train trips by Princess Cadence orders, here is your ticket, Sweetie Belle' The ticket booth handed a paper card to Sweetie Belle, Sweetie Belle has really good luck in the future... before she walked through the doors, was a ticket inserter, really? just holy a paper card for 10 seconds and you just insert your ticket? Waste of paper. Sweetie Belle inserts her ticket, and walks onto the train, and takes a seat at the only one remaining - Near her sister hiding her face behind a newspaper, Rarity doesn't see her enter nor sit down next to her, took about 2 minutes before Rarity notices, Sweetie Belle wasn't really looking at anypony, just looking at the chrome walls... shiny, glossy... the train starts to move giving the chrome effect a nice detail. "Argh, Sweetie Belle!?" Rarity's bursted out loud, "What? RARITY?!" Sweetie Belle shouted, "AH, YOU'RE WRINGLY!", "AH, YOU YOUNGER THAN I THOUGHT!" These two ponies just kept going AH, "Will you two ponies shut up? You made my little baby cry!" Some female pony shouted down the walkway, "Rarity, I'm not meant to see you!" Sweetie Belle complained, "And you know what? You should see me, I heard that chat with you and Cadence..." Rarity replied with a grin. "So you know about-" Sweetie Belle was interrupted by Rarity, "Yes, my plan on taking you back in time failed, so... how are you going to get home, Sweetie Belle?" Rarity asked, "Well... I don't know much about it... only that I'm going to search around Equestria to go back in time, like a scroll or something" Sweetie Belle kind of worried about what was realy going to happen, not being told that much can make her feel unsafe, "A scroll? and that busts my plan... No scroll in Equestria or no spellbook contains the one you're looking for" Rarity stated, "No? Really, then how do I go back... with you?" Sweetie Belle asked. "Uhmmm... well before I time travelled.. I... know of 5 tombs outside Equestria, each one of them holds 5 different coloured flames, red, blue, green, pink, and yellow, but they're not any flames at all, they're ghosts! Time travelling ghosts or something, but these ghosts didn't send me here, oh no, these flames are the only ones who can send us back" Rarity again stated, Sweetie Belle had a severe case of 'screwed in time', "Rarity... you are telling the truth right?" Sweetie Belle asked, "I am telling the honest truth, and I hope I'm right, but I aged 13 years looking for you, 13 years! That means when we go back, everypony is going to be 13 years older! This is why you shouldn't be hanging from trees practicing spells!" Rarity was starting to be like Doc. Brown... well... a little. "Anyway, I'm going to Appleloosa to meet somepony, so the next stop is Ponyville which should be right about now, see you soon, Sweetie Belle, and remember... I love you as the greatest screw up sister I ever had!" Rarity nicely stated, "And I love you my wrinkly old sister!" Sweetie Belle giggled and got off her seat, and moved to the door, the train stops and the doors open. How nice, Sweetie Belle spoke to future Rarity, those wrinkles need to hide Rarity, not giving a toss about anything, Sweetie Belle starts to walk down the streets of... Ponyville... everything is so big... but the only thing that never changed was Twilight's old library, oh well, least that's the same, every building looked like apartments, flats, skyscrapers everywhere! > Chapter 5 Past: 5 months later - Sweetie Belle's birthday. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Ok, Pinkie! Lime Jelly is here to see you!" Mrs. Cake called for Pinkie Pie, "Lime Jelly? Yay!" Pinkie Pie rushed downstairs at the speed of sound, "Pinkie, you remember Gilda?" Lime Jelly asked, "Gilda... Gilda.. Gilda... Nope, I don't know such pony! What's she like? What is he like if it's a boy? Gilda sounds more like a girls name.... who's Gilda?" asked Pinkie Pie, "Gilda? The Griffin?" Lime Jelly's hoping she's got her at this question, "Hmmm... I never thrown a party for a griffin before, is she here? I must throw a party for her!" Pinkie was giving no hope, but just plain old Pinkie Pie. "Ugh... You know what, never mind... and no, Gilda isn't here, she's.... gone, for a really long time" Lime Jelly left Sugar Cube Corner, with a frown, "Oh come on! Don't leave with a saddy waddy face" Pinkie Pie started to pull faces at Lime Jelly to make her laugh, no success, Lime Jelly felt left out, so instead of letting herself back into friendship, she only taken sorrow. 5 months ever since Sweetie Belle disappeared, most ponies gave up now for this investigation, but Twilight and Rarity, along with Scootaloo and Applebloom are still looking for clues, however since Twilight is now a princess, she can get as much help out of it, but instead it stayed low, many ponies in Ponyville still haven't forgotten about Sweetie Belle yet, and will always be happy to assist, but most of them got a no. Today was Sweetie Belle's birthday, Sweetie Belle always wanted a giant teddy bear, as big as her bed, maybe twice the size! She wasn't there to unwrap the big present in the town square, although everypony wanted to see it, they couldn't, unwrapping somepony else's present is rude. The party was going to be at the Town hall, called "The Sweetie Party", ponies thought Sweetie Belle was a really great gifted unicorn who used her magic in the wrong way, so they wouldn't miss this one to celebrate, even more ponies showed up when they found out Twilight was going to be there aswell. "Twilight, you are such a wonderful friend, I could you ever repay you?" asked Rarity, "Nothing really, it's what friends do, besides I'm still thankful to you, and I always will be, right, you go have fun, I'll check everything is ok!" replied Twilight, Twilight had been more friendly ever since Princess Coronation day, and been giving Spike less jobs. With a surprise... a non-invited but famous pony appeared to the party, "Hello ponies, who's ready for chaotic fun?" Discord shouted, most of the ponies cheered for Discord since it was a great surprise, even Twilight was happy to see him, "Discord, long time! How have you been?" Fluttershy asked, "Oh just been using my powers for 'Celestia' who hasn't been asking me to use my magic for 2 months now, otherwise being myself in my Chaos room" replied Discord, "Chaos room?" Rarity asked, "Rarity! Hello! Anyway, my Chaos room is under the castle where I can be myself, use my magic as long as I want without effecting the ponies in the castle or Canterlot, but I keep digging up the rock for some reason..." Discord replied, by Fluttershy's thought, digging up rocks is more space underground, but who knows? "Sounds fun, I would love to see it one day" Fluttershy responded, "Discord, what are you doing here?" Twilight asked, "I just came to party with you ponies, I need fun once in a while" replied Discord, the town hall was packed with ponies, one party over a little filly, dancing to the music Vinyl Scratch was playing, eating food from the table, getting drunk, it was just one of the biggest parties in Ponyville, huge! "Twilight, it's a letter from Princess Celestia" Spike handed a letter to Twilight. "To my most faithful little princess. I heard about that party in Ponyville, I might come but that is not the reason why am I writing to you, I am requesting you to come to the castle Next week for the Equestria's protection over a tomb that might be deadly and to keep ponies secured when it arrives, me, Luna and hopefully you will speak with Shining Armor and Cadence, please come if possible. Your dearest as always, Princess Celestia" One of Celestia's short letters again, but exciting! Getting to see Cadence and Shining, Twilight casted a teleportation spell on the letter to go to her house, "Ladies and Gentlecolts! Thank you for coming to the party!" a voice exploded, everypony went silent and excited, "It is the Great and Apologetic Trixie's honor to present to you... the biggest cake Trixie has ever seen!" Mini-fireworks down the stages lit up as the cake rolled down the walkway, "This cake is over 2.5 meters tall, and 2 meters wide, 3 cakes piled like a wedding cake! Filled with jam layering and chocolate icing! With Strawberries surrounding and optional ice cream! Baked by the greatest bakers in Equestria, doesn't that look mouthwatering? The cake will be cut soon and ready to be handed out to everypony, so you will get a cake, all of you! There is enough for everypony!" Trixie's loud and exciting announcement got everypony really... greedy. The cake rolled to the back of the stage to be cut, everypony got really hungry just looking at the giant wedding like cake! 30 minutes later, the cake is cut, everypony got a slice, even Discord, the taste was as good the first time you had your first big cake, the taste was brilliant, Sweetie Belle's slice was taken, because she wasn't there, but Rarity promised herself anything she didn't get, she gets on the day she comes back home... It's near midnight, everypony was leaving, after that great time they had, "Twilight, ah'm surpised you invited Trixe" Applejack stated, "Well she offered really, besides, she said she still wants to make it up for everything she did, and that brilliant stage performance" replied Twilight, "She offered? Really? Well I accept the fact Trixie wants to repay the damage she's done, that's the Trixie ah can live with!" Applejack cheered, "Thank you so much, Twilight for letting Trixie repay for what's she's done!" happily cried Trixie, she put her magic hat and her cloak on before she left, "Trixie, may I ask, do you want to stay out of that rusty old caravan?" Twilight asked, "Trixie doesn't like carrying around her own carriage that much, why do you ask?" Trixie replied, "Well... since you are a traveler, how about I get you a house in Ponyville, or Canterlot!" Twilight was being to kind here to Trixie. "Twilight, Trixie would love a home closeby here, Trixie does prefer Ponyville rather than Canterlot" Trixie replies, "Well, ok, I'll sell you a house for... 150 bits? most houses in Ponyville are over 80000 bits, cheapest is 50000" Twilight offered, "Deal, Trixie accepts the offer, thank you so much Twilight!" Trixie handed a bag of coins to Twilight, and Twilight gave Trixie the key to the house, and a note of what's already in it, a bed, sofas, and some basic kitchen stuff. Trixie ran straight out to see her new house, bursting with happiness, "Hello, Twilight, everypony gone already?" Celestia questioned, "Yeah, it's a shame you missed it, but it was great fun!" Twilight was a little woozy with the amount of punch she had, not something Twilight would normally do but it's fun! "I see, what a mess it is in here... must of been a big one and -Discord, is that you?" Celestia was surprised to see Discord here, "Oh... Hey... it's y-you, Celestia... umm... I had a great time here... oh my head is so dizzy, I think I drank to much wine, hey look... it's... it's..." Discord tripped over and fell on the floor... he's snoring... "Anyway, as I was saying, will you be able to attend the meeting next week?" Celestia asks, "Yep, I can make it, just need to write it down... and stick it on my noticeboard" Twilight replied, "Well it's great to see you, see you soon Twilight" Celestia left with 2 royal guards pulling her back to Canterlot, Twilight and Applejack didn't have too much to drink, but Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash and even Fluttershy is doing drunken talk. But Rarity... she could still remember what she promised. 7am in the morning, Rarity, Discord and Fluttershy fell asleep in the town hall, with bottles of wine next to them each, "Ugh... my head... I had too much to drink... that's not like me drinking..." Fluttershy told herself, she got up on all 4's, still abit drunk, but able to move and do normal day stuff, "Discord, wake up... wake up Discord" Fluttershy giggled how Discord can't keep his drinking in, "Uh... Fluttershy, hello... where am I? Oh yeah... the party" Discord stretched himself out, he felt like just woken from stone, "That was the greatest party ever! I really need to go to parties now..." Discord clicked and teleported with a echoing 'Bye!' to Fluttershy, "Uh... bye Discord, who else is in here? Uhmm, Rarity, Rarity... hello? Rarity?" Fluttershy tried to wake Rarity up, but she wouldn't, she wasn't even breathing. "Uh... ok, I'll go get Twilight, wake up before I go? No? Ok" Fluttershy walked to Twilight's, the streets were pretty empty at this time of day, nice and peaceful, Fluttershy knocked on Twilight's door, "Hello? Fluttershy! Do you need anything?" Spike answered, "Yeah, it's just Rarity's not waking up in the town hall, I think she may of had a bit too much" Fluttershy states, "Fluttershy? Did I hear you correctly? Rarity isn't waking up?" Twilight shouted from upstairs, "Yeah, she's not waking up at all" Fluttershy replied, "Well I'm going to see her, abit worrying what you said there" Twilight flew downstairs looking for a book, "Spike, can you find me books about Detection spells while I'm gone?" Twilight asks, "Sure thing, Twilight!" Spike started to look around, Twilight went outside and closed the door. Fluttershy and Twilight walked to the town hall, and see's Rarity in the middle of the floor, "Rarity, wake up" Twilight pushed Rarity onto her back, and see's a cut going down Rarity's belly, "Oh no, this can't be happening, Fluttershy, get me some healing herbs, Zecora might have some" Twilight quickly requested, Twilight starts using healing magic and started to heal her insides before her outsides, Twilight was really hoping this wasn't the end... > Chapter 6 Future Twilight Edition Part 1. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Peace... death... friendship? Is there anything in this world without me, Twilight Sparkle run into? Like the time I saw Celestia's death with Luna... how could that pony do that? I had full trust in her, 100 years ago, this pony, called Trapzie Wonder, one of my students, had her own way in life, she wanted to use the magic I taught her to kill Celestia, and when I gave her book that I shouldn't of given, that book had the spell, it had a paper stuck inside which I didn't even know about. Lots of my years, seeing all my friends die while I stand immortal, it's a curse... I wish it could end, or at least see my friends I made over the past 8 centuries, my brother, Shining Armor died a long time ago... Cadence was really upset... his death was murder to, he didn't die from old age, he didn't die from an accident, he was stabbed, right infront of Cadence. Her last husband, were also assassinated, that was that last lover she would ever had, all her husbands will die, and it's not fair to her, I know how she feels... Letting go of somepony is very hard, like letting go of my first very friend that died from old age, Fluttershy, she was the sweetest little angel, her kindness is what made me today - a true friend that's kind to one and another, Applejack died next, she teached me how not to lie in some cases where a lie isn't needed, and the truth must be told, she's a lot like Rainbow Dash, who shows loyalty, Applejack had a bit of that in her, Rainbow Dash never backed down to let me or my friends in danger... then there's Pinkie Pie, she's a right clown, making me laugh everyday, her silly masks and tricks always made me smile, she died by breaking her spine when partying, Rainbow Dash died by drowning in a flight accident, crashed into a lake and couldn't be found, then Rarity, she left and I never saw her. Death is the answer to a lot of things which I am disgusted of, living forever... Now I got that party to go to soon, my 800th anniversary of being a princess, and my friends dead bodies will be there? Rarity's body was never found, and yet I'm told she's going to be there by hologram, all in their young adult forms, going seems nice... but there's Sweetie Belle. Although, Rarity's body wasn't found... she's here in this time I am now. Sweetie Belle time traveled, from what Cadence wrote, that young filly... funny, I can't believe the answer was in front of our faces the whole the time... "Psst, Twilight? You there?" Rarity whispered, "Rarity... I wasn't expecting you, have you found her?" I asked, "I did, but Cadence is advising her to stay away from me, anyway, here's that 'clothes' you wanted" Rarity handed me a black brief case, I cast a spell to unlock it, and what I got, was a picture of my old friends, and information on the griffins. The Griffins recently threatened Equestria if they don't get food and water, most of their country is dried up, and we got too many ponies to feed, we can't feed them aswell, this would be known as the greatest war ever created in this world, more death ruins my life, it makes me want to die... "Thank you Rarity, and here's the technology you wanted" I handed a different briefcase containing high technology, needed to get Sweetie Belle back in time, for her plan to work, but for Sweetie Belle to get back home, she must see me, in pony to pony. 20 minutes later, I arrive in Canterlot by flying there on my own, flying calms me down, blows out all those hard and boiled memories I hate, the flying is the best gift I ever had, I thought being a unicorn was the best thing because of the magic you could use, and calm yourself easily, being an alicorn is a complete different thing, it doesn't calm you down easily, your own way can, like flying, or spells which I do not trust. "Princess Twilight Sparkle, welcome back to the castle" 2 royal guards allowed me into the door, to enter the castle, "Twilight, hi!" Cadence calls out to me, "Hey, you ok?" I ask, "Yeah, I'm fine, Twilight... you look stressed, you ok?" asked Cadence, "Not really, no, I'm just getting that feeling this 800th party is going to be the day a lot of us die... it's the perfect date for somepony to kill somepony" I replied with fear, I know I'm going to loose somepony special to me, "Twilight, you got to stop it, you've got stop thinking about the past, and look forward to the future" Cadence tried to prove me wrong, I can't stop thinking about the past, it's filled with dark memories, memories nopony could understand, if I could get help, Discord could of been there to help and save Celestia, but because Celestia didn't need him anymore, I have no idea where Discord went. "So... Twilight, this information here is... very strange for a princess, are you sure you're ok?" asked the psychologist, "I'm fine... it's all very hard, I shouldn't even be living with this kind of pain inside of me" Twilight replied, "Anyway... let me take you to the time where all the princesses were having a meeting along with my student..." It was a great day, I was happy, although a meet I had to get to about destroying the Everfree forest, I was wanted to get rid it for safety, although one of my old friends used to live in there, I felt bad about burning her house along with it aswell, her name was Zecora, she... died way before this meeting happened, burning her house down will destroy my memories in that house, I didn't want to loose it, but things has to go, everything changes. My student and I was standing outside the meeting room, waiting for Cadence, Luna, and Celestia, we were the first ones to arrive by 10 minutes, but we had a chat, a nice normal one, to be honest, I didn't think she had the guts to kill a princess before this even happened, nopony did. After a normal chat, Luna, Cadence and Celestia arrives, and we enter... the meeting started along with government ponies, although they're the law helpers, Princess Celestia still made everything else go to plan. "So, we're here about the Everfree forest, the Everfree forest as you all know is really dangerous, bad creatures are reported to of been attacking Ponyville citizens, we have 2 agruements, we leave it alone but build a brick wall to stop the creatures coming in, or another way, we burn down the entire forest, the debate session will begin now" a grey male pony in a black suit announced. "Hello everypony, as you all know who I am, I'm Princess Celestia, there are many reason to burn this forest, to expand space for Ponyvillians, or to stop the madness of the creatures and turn the land into a peaceful walk, I think, agreed by Cadence, we should destroy it, or at least move it, here is a scale of attacks everyday reported,Two weeks ago on Tuesday 24 reports, Saturday, 32 reports, and 6 days later, Friday, we had nearly 80 reports, the increase in attacks is rising and needs to be taken action by, destroying it and turn it into space for Ponyville is the best case for the Everfree forest problem" Celestia's words convinced one of the ponies, "As we can see by this security video, a timberwolf leaves the forest, a building near it, the timberwolf enters, 3 or 4 ponies in the hallway, atleast 1 or 2 of them are attacked before he leaves back into the forest, later that day, he brings 5 of his friends and they all split up, 1 goes back into the building, 4 goes into Ponyville and attack ponies on the street, or indoors if they can get in, 3 of them make it back and the 2 are burned, since that is their weekness, like I said, burning the forest is my idea" Celestia states. The governmental ponies start to whisper, and they talk for bit, "Celestia, you have 4/7 supporters, with this idea, burning the forest is in the lead, Cadence, please state your statement about what we should do" the grey pony in the suit announces. "Most of what Celestia says is true, burning it down is the best idea, but if we were to burn it down, that's a lot of ash and smoke going into Ponyville if the wind changes, unless we can Get Cloudsdale to help out with the smoke, we can store this smoke to turn into electricity, for a short time use, there are many cons and pros about this, but if we take a closer look into the forest, here we see a tree house villiage, we're going to need to get them out before we burn it, so checking the forest before burning is a good idea aswell" Cadence states. The ponies started to whisper again about who supports, "Celestia and Cadence got 6/7 supporters at this moment, Princess Sparkle, please make a statement" again, the grey pony announced, I thought I was going to loose it here, my student and I put so much hard work into this meeting, I hoped this would work. "Hello, uh, my statement goes to not destroying it at all, nor building a brick wall but set up security, a scientist recently found a chemical that timberwolves can smell, which keeps them away, if we set them up at the entrance and down the pathway that goes into it, less ponies will be attacked, and same for the city, however, this chemical is also keeping other creatures away, so-" Uh.... I'm sorry I can't really remember what happened at this bit, but I do know I lost, by the time my student stood up... "I think we should do Celestia's idea, but... just look at her, she's prefect, look at he body, it's strong, look at the necklace... it's so... dark!" my student called out, she sounded really weird, "Please, my student, don't do this now" I tried to tell her not to look like an embrassment, instead, murder happened right there, her horn just turned black as night, Celestia was covered in this black gel, first her fur started to come off... then her skin... then her flesh. The gel turned her into a skeleton, right in front of my eyes, she tried to go for Luna aswell, luckily only the end of her mane got the stuff stuck in it, it started to expand up her mane... right before the stuff got on her skin, I casted a spell which got rid of her mane, all of us were so thankful, the royal guards instantly came him and covered her horn with this substance which stops magic from happening. Celestia skeleton just fell over... and smashed across the floor, all of us... we just cried right there, she was gone, forever, I knew she couldn't be saved... ... It was so hard breaking on how my student could do that" Twilight finishes her story to the psychologist, "Wow... that sounds really nasty, what happened to your student?" the psychologist asked, "She was thrown into the sun, killing the princess meant instant one way ticket to be burned at a high temperature" told Twilight, her psychologist was really touched by this story, never knew his patient had such a terrible past. "How did... you um... make day and night go if Celestia was taking care of the sun?" the psychologist asked, "That... luckily, back when I first became an Alicorn, Celestia kept calling me into Canterlot for lessons about moving the sun and the moon... After Princess Coronation day, I uh... got a note from her, saying she wanted to train me with the sun, I thought it would be impossible, but every month, I did it on a fake sun, Celestia knew this very crazy spell which sent us to the place where I first became an Alicorn, in this space like memory bank, it was basically Celestia's own world, "Twilight... although days may come, if I go down one day, you'd have to take my place" Celestia told me, "But Princess, you know that will never happen" I told her, "You may think that Twilight, but if for whatever reason I cannot lower the sun, the sun will stay there, and some princess will have to lower it for Luna, it's easy, use that everyday spell - Levitation on the fake sun over there" Celestia pointed to the fake sun. I knew I couldn't do it, but sometimes you just have to try as hard, but just the sun's weight, it was so heavy, I never knew the princess was that strong, "Let me take off some weight for you..." Celestia casted a spell on the fake moon to let it loose, that way I could train, each day it get's heavier, I slowly become used to it, everyday I practiced, it got heavy... and heavy... and heavy, I could do a thing about it, after about 3 years of doing this, Celestia put me to the real test, the real sun, I couldn't destroy the whole planet, so carefully... I lowered the sun, although it was very heavy, I was used to the weight. "You did well, Twilight, but what if you did the moon?" Celestia was kind of pushing it on me, I just had to take rest, but since the moon was a lot less weight, I just done it easily... I was very surprised how light it was without struggling, it was the real moon I put up on that one day I lowered the sun, "Twilight... you are such as great princess, you'll do good one day..." Celestia had every confidence that day I could lower the sun and raise the moon, so I was ready everyday. After those 3 years... me, Rarity, and well the heroes of Equestria and the Cutie Mark Crusaders, the very first ones, we kind of went on a journey for Sweetie Belle... I kind of left Celestia for years... 100 years ago after Celestia died, I had to do her job, for 90 years, Cadence wanted to train on how to do this, from what I said, going into this space world thing to lower the sun and stuff, it took her less time, as she was bigger than me, I was very surprised on how she did it, way much more easily. It was just amazing" Twilight yawned after telling that story, "I see... it is getting late, about I see you tomorrow and we can finish up, I think it is your dark past that is causing all your depression problems" the psychologist packed his stuff and exited the castle... "What a day... blimey, that took 4 hours..." Twilight told herself, her door opened with a creak behind her, "Um... Twilight? Am I allowed to see you now?" asked Sweetie Belle, "Yes... yes you can, tell me about the past again, before I was an alicorn..." Twilight asked... > Chapter 6 Future: Oh no... this can't be happening... > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- As Sweetie Belle happily walked around the streets of the new... big buildings, it's a dream come true, her sister is here, Twilight's here, but what about Applejack? And Pinkie Pie? Sweetie Belle knew the streets were the same way, just smaller, Sweetie Belle decides to go to where Sugar Cube Corner is, a tombstone laid infront of the building 'R.I.P Pinkie Pie', Sugar Cube corner still looked the same, on the outside, but not the inside, as it was re supported by metals. "Twilight? Is that you?" Sweetie Belle asked, "Yeah, of course it's me, how woul- Sweetie Belle, you're back! How have you been, you crazy little filly?" Twilight asked, "Being crazy Sweetie Belle?" Sweetie Belle replied, "Oh, that reminds, I'm meant to see somepony, Sweetie Belle, meet me in Canterlot" Twilight asked, "Sure, um... how about in 1 hour?" asked Sweetie Belle, "Seems good" Twilight flew off with her wings Appleloosa way, caught seeing her with a black brief case. Sweetie Belle looked at the cakes on sale, 'Pinkie Pie's iced pink cupcakes', 'Cakes blue iced cakes', 'Applejack's Apple Icing', these ponies really respect the mane 6. "Would you like anything little filly?" the shop owner asked, "Umm... could I have... the... Oooo that's looks good... Could I have the Twilight Delight?" Sweetie Belle asked for, "You sure can, would you like to buy it through coins or online?" asked the owner, "Um... online?" replied Sweetie Belle, a microphone shot out the desk and asked to say the word 'Confirm' on a small screen on top of it, "Confirm" spoke Sweetie Belle, 'VOICE DETECTED, NAME: Sweetie Belle, BITS: 4000, WOULD YOU LIKE TO BUY A: Twilight Delight? PLEASE NOD YES OR NO', Sweetie Belle nodded yes, '4 BITS TAKEN, CURRENT AMOUNT: 3997, LOGGING OUT... ENJOY YOUR: Twilight Delight' the microphone shot back into the desk, while the screen just floated and fitted into a small square in the wall. "I never seen anything like this..." Sweetie Belle muttered to herself, "Here's your cake, come again soon!" the shop owner settled a regular large size baked cupcake with Purple swirly glittering icing, Sweetie Belle took the cupcake from the counter and left the building. A giant balloon was being set up near the shop as it was being filled with helium, a red advertising ballon, Sweetie Belle sat down near Sugar Cube Corner, and watched as it was being set up while eating her cupcake, that taste the cupcake had... she never had anything so tasty before, 2 royal guards walked by and noticed Sweetie Belle sitting near the building, "Sweetie Belle, you are requested to come to the castle via teleportation, Princess Twilight has asked for you" One of the royal guards asked, "Really? Ummm... how does this Teleport work?" Sweetie Belle asked, "I see you're new around these parts, basically 3 metal rings will float around you, and you teleport into the castle where Twilight asked for you" the other guard replied, "Ok, that's easy for me..." Sweetie Belle replied, "Good, enjoy your day" the royal guards bowed down as the rings went around Sweetie Belle. 'TELEPORTING IN 3... 2... 1... TELEPORTING...' a voice from the machine stated, one moment in Ponyville, the next moment... in Twilight's room, purple paint on the walls, ceiling is so up high, one huge TV on the wall, showing a history channel about a war before Sweetie Belle's time, "Sweetie Belle, you're here, good, are you aware of your sister being here?" Twilight asked, "Umm... Yeah, is that who you went to see in Appleloosa?" replied Sweetie Belle, "Good guess, yes, I did just go and see your sister just a few minutes ago, anyway, I looked into your profile and... it says you froze right at the castle train station?" Twilight states, "From what the nurse told me, yes, apparently I did froze" Sweetie Belle concluded, "Right, that's not normal, I took a look into some internet books, and the reason why that happened is because of a Time lock, since you time traveled, a time lock is where they become time banned, and takes up to 1 hour to do this, that means you gonna be stuck here until I or somepony else can figure a way out of this" Twilight's words made Sweetie Belle get lost right in the middle of it. Princess Cadence walked into the room along with 1 guard, "Twilight, you seem to of lightened up since yesterday, anyway... the elements of Harmony has been found" Cadence floated a blue box to Twilight, "Ooo, I can't wait to see what's in here..." Twilight opens the box and finds the other elements black while her's remained purple, "Black cutie marks on the elements?" Twilight asked herself quietly, "Although it doesn't look the same, they are confirmed to be the same ones" the guard told Twilight, "Ok, thank you for bringing these to me, you may leave as I got to talk to somepony privately" Twilight ordered, "Anyway, as I was saying, due to you being time banned... you cannot go back, that means whatever Rarity is up to, it's most likely it won't work, that spell you used though... do you think you can do it again?" Twilight asked, "No... I don't even think it was me that did it in the end anyway, I think I was brought here for a reason..." Sweetie Belle replied, Sweetie Belle didn't really put much effort into this spell, although she tried harder and harder, she didn't feel a thing when she casted the spell. "Alright... Alright... then yeah... you're stuck here" Twilight responded, "Wait... I can't be stuck here, what about my friends? Applebloom and Scootaloo? I want to see them too! Also... is that sparks I hear coming from the elements?" Sweetie Belle asked, Twilight and Sweetie Belle looked at the blue box noticing little shoots of electricity, Twilight floated the box to her, Sweetie Belle pressed a golden button to open the case, noticing Rarity's element was returning to it's normal colour, and the others were slowly disappearing into thin air. "That's rather strange... oh no... please don't disappear... no, no, no no no, this can't be happening... please don't..." Twilight kept begging, Applejack's, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy's elements disappeared, Twilight got real upset... "Well... the elements are going to need new holders... wait..." Twilight notices 4 tiny orbs forming into one, a flash of light fills the room blinding Sweetie Belle and Twilight. A few hours later, Sweetie Belle awakens in her bed, back in time... Sweetie Belle sits up, is she dreaming? Or is she really back home? Sweetie Belle got out of bed feeling well rested and walked to her window in her room, noticing Ponyville was nothing but a nuclear waste, radiation and destroyed buildings, a white pony walks into the door, noticing it was Rarity. "Rarity?" Sweetie Belle whispered to herself, Rarity looked at Sweetie Belle, "Sweetie Belle... that can't be you... you're... back?" Rarity's eyes were pleased to see Sweetie Belle, "Rarity... I think something went wrong, what happened here? How many years have I been away?" Sweetie Belle panicked, knowing that everything went wrong, "Sweetie Belle... you've never left... what are you talking about?" Rarity replied, "You suffered Radiation sickness, and you just collapsed, right infront of me", "Rarity, really, I know I was gone sometime far into the future and everything was fine, buildings stood tall with speed of light trains and Voice activated systems, What is going on!?" Sweetie Belle demanded questions. "Sweetie Belle, that must of been a dream, besides, we've always been under a nuclear waste land, ever since you were born, just be happy you survived" replied Rarity, "How can I be happy? if I was in Ponyville now, it would be standing tall with all the buildings fixed and shining new, grass would be green, the ground would be freshly wet but not muddy, Twilight would be an Alicorn or-" Sweetie Belle got interrupted by Rarity, "Sweetie Belle, darling, who is Twilight?" Rarity asked. This is it, Sweetie Belle knew it was going to end badly, she knew this isn't the world she grew up in, she knew this Rarity wasn't her sister, she knew something happened when that orb filled the room, she knew everything here in this world will go to dust. 'Twilight... Twilight... Twilight...' a voice ran through Twilight's head, not knowing who's voice it was, it sounded very familiar, Twilight slowly opened her eyes, noticing she was on the floor, she sat up, rubbed her eyes and yawned, "Sweetie Belle? You here?" Twilight looked around her room, not seeing Sweetie Belle, Twilight thought she might of woken up before her, so Twilight didn't really panic. 'Twilight...' Again goes that voice, who's could that be? Twilight gets up on all fours and walked to the door, she opens them and finds a trail of Blood drops, Twilight decides to follow, minutes later, she comes to a door where the trail ends, Twilight slowly opens the door. Twilight screamed, echoing down the hallways seeing a room filled with dead ponies covered in blood, one giant room of it, nothing but dead ponies... even Celestia was in the pile... right at the top. 8 guards and Princess Cadence runs up behind Twilight, "Twilight? Are you- Wait... why are there dead ponies in here?" Cadence asked, "I've got no idea... but really, this is just strange" said Twilight, one of the guards, notices the blood drops and follows them the other way to see who it could be. "Cadence, where's Sweetie Belle?" Twilight asked, "Sweetie Belle? I saw her in your room last, that was a few hours ago, guards, can you track where Sweetie Belle is?" asked Cadence, one of the guard raised the hoof, with a phone watch on his wrist, "Sweetie Belle... isn't detected, in fact, she's nowhere on the planet" the guard replied, "WHAT!?" Twilight and Cadence shouts. "How can she be missing?" Twilight asked, "Well... it says here she was lost 4 hours ago, in your room, Princess Twilight" replied the guard, Twilight quickly ran to the castle's library, panicking, hoping the elements had nothing to do with it... Hours later, Sweetie Belle done nothing but sat at the window, all day and night looking at the horrible wasteland, it's been a full day back in the past with a nuclear waste site right outside the house. "Sweetie Belle? Can you hear me?" Twilight's voice ran though Sweetie Belle's head, Sweetie Belle looked around the room, not seeing Twilight at all, "Twilight? Is that you?" Sweetie Belle asked, "Yes, it's very important that you listen to be in order to get you back here, I want you to tell me what it looks like outside" Twilight asked, "It's... a nuclear waste dump..." replied Sweetie Belle. "Ok... hold on..." Sweetie Belle could hear Twilight flickering through books, or paper, "Ok, Sweetie Belle, here's what I want you to do... get heaps amount of radiation, just do it, and trust me, I know what I'm doing" Twilight guided Sweetie Belle... "But... wouldn't that kill me?" Sweetie Belle asked, "No, it won't, although radiation has killed ponies before" Twilight asked, "Ok... please promise me one thing if I get back..." Sweetie Belle lowered her head, "Promise me, when I get back, I want to see my sister, even if Cadence says no, I want to see her" Sweetie Belle slowly walked out her room, and walks down the wobbly stairs, "Ok, Sweetie Belle... I promise" Twilight replied. Here she goes...
