My Little Terminator

Twilight Velvet was driving in a Jeep down the desert road.

She was in the process of recording a tape for her future daughter.

"...What's most difficult for me is trying to decide what to tell you and what not to. But, I guess I have a while yet before you're old enough to even understand these tapes. They're more for me at this point just so that I could get it straight."

She had a .357 magnum revolver on her lap, which she then placed into the center console storage area.

She approached a gas station and pulled up to an open pump.

She got out and the attendant walked up to her.

"Well, howdy there, ma'am. What can ah do ya fer?" he asked.

"Fill her up, please." Velvet requested.

"Sure thing, ma'am, no problem!" he replied as he began the process of filling up her car's gas tank.

She levitated her tape recorder and began recording again.

"Should I tell you about your father? Boy, that's a tough one. Will it affect your decision to send him here knowing that he is your father? If you don't send Night Lite, you could never be." she sighed as she continued.

"Celestia, a pony could go crazy thinking about this. I suppose I will tell you. I owe him that. Maybe it'll help if you know that, in the few hours that we had together, we loved a lifetime's worth."

She was surprised by a camera flash and looked down to see a brown unicorn colt floating a camera in front of him.

"Well, hello there." she said with a warm smile.

"Howdy, you seem real nice. I want ya ta have this here photo, Ah hope y'all like it." the colt said.

"Thank you." Velvet said as the colt floated the photo into her lap.

She held it up with her own magic and looked at it before placing it on the passenger seat.

Just then, the wind picked up, blowing dust from the desert into the air.

"Uh oh, a storm's a'comin'!" the attendant said after finishing up filling the car's gas tank.

"I know." Velvet said as she stared ahead, a look of determination filling her face.

She put on a pair of sunglasses and paid for the gas before driving away.

She drove off into the mountains as the storm approached.

Twilight Velvet now knew that her unborn daughter would rise up to save pony-kind from certain extinction at the hooves of the machines of Starnet.

After the events of that fateful night, she realized that it was up to her to insure that Twilight Sparkle became the hero and leader she was destined to be.

The End...for now
