Chapter 2 Identity

-----------TIME SKIP 2 DAYS LATER----------

The crusader sit I their clubhouse thinking about what they saw the other day.
Scootaloo shakes her head and breaks the silence.
"Girls, were being ridiculous. So we saw a pony, in the Ever free forest lying in the ground... We shouldn't just be sitting worrying about them, we should go back and help them out!" Scootaloo declares as she stands from where she was sitting.

The two other fillys look at Scootaloo with an upset look in their eyes.
"Yeah, I guess Scoot.." Applebloom replies sounding a little upset and also a little frightened.

Sweetie belle stands aswell next to Scootaloo and nods " lets do it".

Applebloom stands and adds that they can maybe get their rescue cutie marks!

The girls arrive at the place where Sweetie Belle fell. The pony still lying on the ground.
Applebloom and Sweetie Belle adjust the "crusader cart" into a position where it is easier to lift the pony into it.
Scootaloo then lifts the mare into the cart, then using her wings to 'scoot' out of the forest into sun light.

With the sunlight the crusaders could see a little more of the dark and unconscious pony.
Applebloom hen starts to write things down in a small note pad.

Author's Note

Sorry this chapter was a little shorter than the last one, I didn't mean it too but I think adding more wouldn't match the name of the chapter :3

Chapter 4 past and present

As the crusaders and Bunny continue to trot down the streets of Ponyville; the crusaders start suggesting that they introduce Bunny to some of their sisters and their friends.
Bunny just followed with her head down and her eyes hidden. She felt guilty for some reason, and many ponies have given her weird looks and talked about her appearance and voice. Bunny stopped talking when she heard that. She didn't like that ponies were thinking of her like that.

"Lets introduce her to Rainbow Dash!" Scootaloo suggests.

"I thought we were walking to the farm to meet Applejack!" Applebloom argues back.

"What??!!" Sweetie Belle squeaks "I thought we were going to Rartiy's Boutique!!"

As the fillies argue about who Bunny will meet first, Bunny just follows behind them, her wings tucked in tight her mane over her eyes and her head down, not saying a word. Nothing seemed to come to her mind about what happened, all she can see in her mind is a dark blue mare with sparkling mane. What Bunny didn't understand was that she had both wings and a horn.. She can't seem to remember ever seeing a pony like that before.

"Bunny, look out!" The crusaders yell and snaps Bunny out of her daze. she nearly walked into a huge tree-house thing, while she was not paying attention.

Bunny smiles "thanks girls, I was in a bit of a daze.."

"Are you alright there Bunny? " The pink mare from before had bounced up behind them.

"Yes pinkie pie, I'm absolutely fine, thank you." Bunny replies.

"HUUUH?!! ARE YOU GOING TO THE LIBRARY TOO!? ONE OF MY BESTEST FRIENDS LIVE HERE AND I WAS JUST GONNA GO SEE HER!! WANNA MEET HER? DO YOU, DO YOU?!!!"

The crusaders moaned, they never finished who they were going to see first, and Bunny was going for Twilight anyway..

"I'd love to meet your friend Pinkie.." Bunny replied.

"HELLOOOO TWILIGHT!!" Pinkie yells around the library with shelves piled with books.

A purple unicorn walks through the entrance from another room with a slightly annoyed look on her face.

"Pinkie pie.. I've told you many times now that, this is a library.. And library's are supposed to be quiet!" She said.

Bunny just giggled at the argument not loudly, more in her head then out loud..
"Ok twilight, anyway this is my new friend Bunny!"

Bunny nods "nice to meet you.." she mumbles and smiles slightly.

"Hello Bunny, My name is Twilight Sparkle." Twilight Sais in her usual way, she obviously didn't hear when Bunny mumbled
.
"Nice to meet you Twilight..." She repeats a little louder.

"You too!" Twilight replies " Do you mind if I ask for your full name?"

"OOHHH TWILIGHT SILLY!! BUNNY DOESN'T KNOW HER FULL NAME I DON'T KNOW WHY BUT IM NOT BOTHERED BECIASE I HAVE A NEWWWWWWWW FRIEND!!" Pinkie pie interrupts loudly.

"Ugh, Pinkie pie your crazy.. Bunny obviously knows her full name.. And please be quieter.."

"Uh.. Actually Twilight" Applebloom says; "Bunny doesn't actually know her full name, she can't remember her past at all" Scootaloo continues.

"Oh, ok.. That's fine, I can always do a little research if you like, Bunny.. Maybe it will help.."

Ms. Luna and Crushing Twilight

After many hours of research Twilight, Pinkie and Bunny found nothing that jogged Bunny's memory at all. Except a picture from the 'equestrian Royalty' book, that Bunny couldn't take her eyes off page 354 with a picture off 'Princess Luna'... Bunny knew this pony somehow.

The crusaders heading home and Pinkie finished her 'How to throw the best party' book, it was just Twilight and Bunny in the library surrounded by books on the floor.

" Bunny I'm sorry we couldn't find anything.." Twilight says to Bunny.

Bunny just sat on the ground, staring at the photograph. Too many questions were going through her head at the same time, and Twilights apoligy didn't get noticed.

"You like that book, Bunny? I swear you've been staring at that page for hours.. Have you found something??!" Twilights Sais trying to get a look at the page.

"Not really.." Bunny replies, still in a slight daze.

"Oh that's Princess Luna!" Twilight points out.

"..P..Princess.. Luna?" Bunny recognises that name..

------------OLD MEMORY-----------
Filly Bunny and Luna play in the park pretending to ride ursa majors.

"Hahaha! My Ursa Majors so much faster than yours!!" Filly Luna yells to her 'slow' Friend with her Ursa Major.

"Well... Only because its trained by the best princess ever!" Bunny yells back smiling.

"Yeah thank you, But I bet youd be a better princess than I am!" Luna laughs.

"Never!"
------------Reality--------------
"Bunny? Bunny? You ok?"

"Huh? What? Uh.. Yeah.." Bunny is shocked out of her flash back.

"It's getting late.. You should probably get home.." Twilight laughs, Bunny just sighed.

"What's wrong? Oh that's right, you don't have a home.." Twilight says with a hint of sympathy in her voice.

"W..what? How do you know that?" Bunny replies.

"Well the crusaders told me while you were staring at books earlier.." Twilight laughs again.

Bunny smiles back... Not a very happy smile.

"Your welcome to stay with me if you like!" Twilight smiles standing up and beggining to levitate books back on the shelves.

"Thank you very much Twilight.." Bunny replies again, helping her pick up books and organise them for twilight to put on the shelves.

Once all the books were cleared up, Twilight notices that Bunny's eyes were no longer covered by her fringe. Twilight liked Bunny's eyes, a lot. She also liked Bunny.. A lot.

"So.. Uh Bunny.." Twilight says trying to catch Bunny's attention.

"Hm?" Bunny looks at Twilight to say she's listening.

"You.. Looked.. Kinda dazed earlier.. Something on your mind?" Twilight asks Bunny hoping that the answer is what she wants it to be..

"I.. I.." Bunny begins,

"Yes.. Yes??!" Twilight hurries Bunny she's dying for the answer,

"I rememered something from a long time ago.."

"Oh.. I see.." Twilight says in dissapointment. It wasn't really the answer she begged to hear,

"What did you remember Bunny?" She adds,

"It was.. Me, and that pony when we were fillies.." Bunny replies

"Oh.. Wait what? You knew Princess Luna when you were Fillies?" Twilight is confused by Bunny's answer..

"But, Luna was a filly one thousand years ago.." Twilight says it made no sense to her, could.. She be crushing on some mare that's one thousand years old? she asks herself, in her head of course..

"Yes, I remember it quite well now.." Bunny mumbles..

The next day Twilight and Bunny eat Breakfast, it is quiet.. Spike isnt there, he had been gone for the past few weeks. Twilight decides to break the silence with a question that she wanted to ask last night.. Well one of them anyway..

"So, Bunny.. You were saying last night that you knew Luna when you were Fillies.. How?" Twilight asks, almost begging for an answer.

"Of course Twilight.." A familiar voice sais.

Your Friendly Highness

"Huh?" Bunny looks behind her to see a white mare, with a pastel coloured flowing mane.

"Princess Celestia!" Twilight bows and Bunny follows along with her.

"Hello Twilight, my faithful student." Celestia smiles. Yet she still stares at Bunny.

"Bunny.. It's been a long time.." Celestia slightly lowers her voice and continues to stare at Bunny.

"Princess? You know Bunny?" Twilight asks, this is happening quickly but Twilight can't keep up.

"Tia.. It has been a long time.. How is Luna?" Bunny replies.

"She's fine. But you've missed a lot.. Are you alright?" Celestia continues her conversation with Bunny slightly worried about
Bunny considering she was found unconscious in the Everfree forest.

"Yes, thank you." Bunny says, relieved that Luna is ok after what happened when she and Luna were young.

"I'm sure she would like to see you, she was excited when she heard that you were back." Princess Celestia continues not having blinked the whole time.

"I would like to see her too, if that's alright Princess.." Bunny replies again, slightly worried about why Tia was staring at her this way..

Twilight interrupts by adding "I'll take her to the castle today Princess!"

---------TIME SKIP TO CANTERLOT CASTLE---------

Bunny and Twilight wander around the canterlot castle while waiting for celestia to say when Luna is ready. Twilight was babbling about how she is the princess' student and how she has been here so many times, though Bunny wasn't really listening. She recognised the castle somehow, maybe from a dream or a memory."

"BUNNY! TWILIGHT!" Three voices shout running through the corridors of the castle.

"Hello girls." Bunny smiles,

"Hello." "What are you fillies doing here?" Twilight asks the crusaders that are galloping to the two mares.

"Rarity and Applejack are in Canterlot today!" Applebloom begins but gets interrupted by Scootaloo .

"Yeah! And they took us with them!"

Sweetie belle adds " uh huh!" Not having much to say..

Though Bunny was smiling, her eyes were covered again. And didn't seem as happy as she did the other day, she seemed.. Worried..
Princess Celestia appears in the hallway where they were all standing and everypony bows.
"Princess Luna is ready for you Bunny.." And she teleports Bunny to Lunas room.

Leaving everypony else waiting in the corridor with Princess Celestia.

---------IN LUNAS ROOM---------
"BUNNY!!!" Luna cries. She is so happy.

"L...Luna!" Bunny replies, she was extremely happy too, so happy her eyes glimmered through her fringe.

Bunny looks around the room. it was full of video games and games consoles, along with many action figures and cards. Bunny remembers her room was like this, exactly like this. It might well still be like this.

"It's been so long! I am so happy to see you again!" Luna yells, fighting back tears of happiness.
"It has! A..are you ok Luna? After what happened?" Bunny replies. Worried about Luna after she.... Changed.

"About me becoming Nightmare Moon? Yes." Luna Replies.

Bunny quietly lets out a sigh of relief.

"What about you?" Luna asks,

'About me? What about me?' Bunny thinks to herself.

"About me? What about me?" She repeats out loud this time.

"You took great damage when I transformed.. You know, when you tried to stop me.."

'So that's what happened.. That's why I was in the Ever free forest..' Bunny thought to herself again..

"Oh.. Yeah, I'm absolutely fine Luna! Thanks."
Luna makes a concerned look at Bunny. She didnt seem as happy as she thought. She seemed too worried, to scared..

"Bunny.." Luna sais trying to begin to speak, but is interrupted by the door opening showing Princess Celestia, Twilight and the crusaders.

The jist of things

"I hope were not interrupting anything, but these ponies would like so information on the story of how you two met, and the age difference of you and Bunny." Celestia smiles, inviting herself in and the others, they all sit down, and Twilight pulls Bunny next to her sitting down. Luna stays stood up, almost like shes a teacher, and the others are students.

---------not part of the story: this part contains a lot of information. So brace yourself :) ---------------
(Now back in the story)

"Ok.." Luna begins, taking a deep breath.

"When me and my sister were fillies, our mother would teach us magic. That day we were learning time spells. The very powerful spell where you can go either forward or backwards in time, and walk around to explore the place you cast the spell at a different time in history or future."

Twilight interrupts by putting her hoof up, pretty much like a filly would.

"Princess Luna, I haven't heard of that spell before.."

Luna rolls her eyes.

"You probably haven't Miss Sparkle, it's a very old and powerful spell, the copy of it has been destroyed due to changes in time."

Twilight puts her hoof down and nods, meaning she understood.

Luna continues,
"That night i cast the spell in my bed room, I wanted to see what it was like in the future. I started walking around 'future' canterlot, when I ran into a filly. About my age. Who was Filly Bunny."
The crusaders aww in the thought of a filly Bunny, "she must have been so adorable!" Sweetie belle cries.

Continuing once again, Luna takes another deep breath.
" she didn't seem pleased with her life there, she seemed very upset. I decided to help her, so I brought her back to my time. We played a lot together, luckily nothing happened to time when it happened. But I was just a filly. I didn't know any better. Me and Bunny grew up together. And obviously she died a few times, due to old age. But I kept bringing her back. My age. "

"The night I became night mare moon, Bunny was with me. She was my only friend. She cared for me, she complimented my nights. And she stayed up as long as she could to see them... But I don't know why, I still felt so alone. Suddenly I just had enough. I stood up to my sister, and began to transform. Bunny tried to talk me out of it, but it was too late. I attacked her, hitting her straight into the Everfree forest. And has been there all this time. I'm not sure why.. But Bunny didnt seem to age during this time. And her wounds had faded."

Luna begins to cry.. And the others cry with her. Except Bunny. Who stays quiet. She was shocked with memories from her childhood, all flooding back to her brain like metal to a magnet.

"I'm sorry Bunny.. I'm so sorry." Luna cries tears flooding from her eyes.

Bunny smiles, and stands up to join her friend.

"It's ok.. It wasn't your fault, I could've tried harder, to help you.." Bunny whispers, trying to cheer Luna up.

Luna shakes her head "no, you couldn't.. You were always trying.. And I was too stupid to notice.."

As everypony continues to cry. Bunny stays huddled with Luna trying to cheer her up.

"You know Luna, when I saw a photo of you. In a book in Twilights library. I recognised you from somewhere, and when Twilight said it was Princess Luna. I instantly remembered you.. I never forgot you, and I was so relieved you were alright." Bunny tells Luna. Whose tears began to stop.

A Short Ending

After a few months, there is now slight changes in each of these ponies lives.

Bunny: Has had memories flood back to her, and now has a place in the Canterlot Castle.
Twilight: Is still i love with Bunny. and visits her as much as she can.
Luna: Is happy with her life long (only) friend.
Pinkie: Takes the crusaders with her to Canterlot at least once a month, to see Bunny and Luna.
Crusaders: Continue to try to get their cutie marks and look forward to every visit to Canterlot.
Celestia: Continues to do nothing ._.

Chapter 1 The finding

The cutie mark crusaders walk through the dark and damp ever free forest.
"Come on girls!" Applebloom orders
"Were coming Applebloom, but its hard to walk when we cant even see our own hooves!" Scootaloo replies in annoyance.

It was foggy in the forest that day and not many ponies take care of the place so deep in.
Applebloom stops and turns back at Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle.

"Scoot, you know were not going to get our explorer cutie marks with your excuses!" she snaps back at Scootaloo. "now, come on and speed it up while your at it!"

They all begin to walk a little faster dodging thorns and tree branches making 'swoop' and 'swish' noises with their breaths.

"Ow! wait, ow?" Sweetie belle questions her pain as she falls to the ground.

"What now?!" Applebloom complains.

Sweetie Belle picks herself up off the dirt and sees a pale and slightly large object on the ground.
She kicks it slightly with her front right hoof.

"Eeeep!!" She screams, and runs to catch up to Scootaloo and Applebloom a little further ahead. "Girls its alive!!"

The two other crusaders turn their heads to face Sweetie Belle gallop to them with great speed.
"Calm down Sweetie Belle its probably just a rock.." Applebloom says with dis belief.

Scootaloo looks at Applebloom with un-amusment "Applebloom, rocks aren't alive you doofus.."

"No, girls really i want get out now!! Were too deep in and things are getting too scary!!" Sweetie belle begs as she began to cry. Applebloom rolls her eyes and nods,

"Fine. But i want to see what you fell over Sweetie Belle to PROVE it was just a rock.."

The crusaders walk back the way they came following the small hoof prints in the dirt.
Sweetie belle points her hoof to the large grey thing on the ground.

"Here it is girls"
Scootaloo and Applebloom walk up to Sweetie Belle squinting their eyes to see a little better in the darkness of the forest.

"Your right scoot, that's not a rock!" Applebloom Sais in fear.

Scootaloo stood shaking with sweetie belle crying next to her.

"Well... I.. It's not exactly what I was expecting..." She shivers...

Sweetie belle crys and begins to gallop out the forest leaving Scootaloo and Applebloom shaking in the dark with complete silence..

Applebloom shivers out the words, "it's a pony.."

Chapter 3 look around

The crusaders jump as the grey pony begins to awaken..
She slowly opens her eyes revealing a bright neon green.

"Hello!" Sweetie Belle says.

"Uh.. Y.. Yeah, hi" Scootaloo adds as the mare sits up in the red cart,

"H.. Hello there" the mare replies with a smile,
" What are your names?"

The crusaders introduce themselves one by one and welcomes the mare to ponyville.

"Ponyville?" She repeats, rubbing her eye she adds "I don't remember being here.."

As the fillies explain what happened and where the mare was found she remembers a little more of what happened before she got here and of who she was.

"Um, just a question Miss, what's your name?" Applebloom asks the mare now stretching her legs outside the cart.

"I'm not quite sure Applebloom dear, I can't remember that much right now.." She replies with a sorry kind of smile.. You could tell the mare was a little down saying this...

"You can call me Bunny for now though alright" she says, looking at her cutie mark for re-assurance.

Bunny stood normally and smiled, asking the crusaders who lived in the cottage near where they were. The crusaders replied with Fluttershy but said that we should leave her alone for now because she isn't really the sociable type, the crusaders say that they should go look around ponyville and take a look around, to maybe jog Bunny's memory.

As the crusaders and Bunny trotted through ponyville Bunny got a few smiles and waves, but also a lot of stares and whispers.. Bunny walked past one of the conversations hearing "eew have you seen her eyes, they're so wierd! I know right, and look at how dark she is and hanging out with fillies ugh Pah-lease.." Bunny didn't care much about hanging around with Fillies, they were fun, but the eyes made her a little self conscious and she started hiding them a bit.

"HEY GIRLS!!" A pink mare shouts to the crusaders with Bunny following behind them.

"HEY YOU!!" Bunny looks at the pink mare through her fringe so she didn't have to hear anymore about her eyes,

"Hello there." She replies with a small smile.

"I DON'T THINK I'VE SEEN YOU AROUND BEFORE! MY NAMES PINKIE PIE AND I LOOOOOVE MEETING NEW FRIENDS!"
Bunny's smile widens slightly 'does she really want to be friends so quickly?' She thinks to herself.

"Nice to meet you Pinkie Pie, I can't tell you my name right now, sorry.. But you can call me Bunny if you like!" Bunny replies to Pinkie.

Pinkie being a little confussle-oodled about the mare not being able to say her name, she doesn't mind much about it and she smiles at Bunny and jumps her way down the street where she was going.

Bunny sighs, she doesn't know why, but she feels a bit of guilt inside.. Hopefully things will get better..
