Adventure? How About a Flash Back

Chapter 2

Flash from a False Past

Twilight woke up the next morning to find that all of the extra body parts she had unfortunately grown were no longer existing. She pulled herself out of bed to go find Spike to pack their bags and leave. She thought the first place she would find him was Sugar corner Twilight moved out the door, and made her way down the street. She finally made of to Sugar cube corner to look for Spike who was nowhere to be found. The sky was still black with the beautiful moon shinning bright. When Twilight walked in she found herself in the same situation as the night before in a pitch black room. This time she didn't really have to search for the light switch. When the light came on all the same ponies were there as if last night didn't even happen. Twilight then experienced the same night as before except for her body never ended up growing its own parts to double up. She had talked to everypony noticing that they had no memory of the night before, she didn’t feel as if that dream was a nightmare, but more of a very dark corner of her mind. Princess Luna flew down from the night sky again as in the previous night.

“Do you out of everypony here remember anything about last night, or am I just being a little too paranoid?” Luna starred at Twilight with a strange face.

“Now what are you talking about Twilight, Last night you were sound asleep. I hope that potion Zecora gave worked it’s purpose, you seem to have gotten the sleep you’ve needed. What else could be the matter?”

Twilight took a deep breath, and shook her head, and said “Nothing, it must just be some side effects I’ll go talk to Zecora about. I’ll catch up with you later.”

Twilight took a stroll down to Zecora’s shack in the Everfree forest, ever since the adventure she had taken nine years ago this place didn’t seem so scary after all. She finally had reached the shack when it seemed to be in the same situation as before, now she thought would be the right time to rephrase her question from last night. She entered the shack, and woke up Zecora as before

“I’m sorry to bother you, but I seemed to have a dream last night…..”

Zecora hopped up out of her green cot, and said “Are you telling me my brew didn’t work?”

Twilight shook her head, and said “Yeah, yes it did but I thought I might ask you about this other dream I had last night. I dreamed about this exact day, and that I had a double of myself growing out slowly until it would have to separate for good.” Zecora took some time to explain it to Twilight, and she finally got the answers she was looking for, and decided to call it a night. She made it back to the tree, and decided that one more day in ponyville would be OK with her.

Twilight woke up the next afternoon, she still had no idea where Spike had wandered off to. Now this was something she would need the help of her other pony friends with, were those dreams just producing the hallucination of Spike? She shook off the thought of her mind playing more tricks on her. Twilight left the tree to find Spike ready to leave with all of their bags packed, and breakfast setup for before they leave. The thought of him doing all this for Twilight made her smile. They both talked over the small breakfast that Spike had prepared, and headed off the the train station. This time Twilight just wanted a small ride back to Greenwood, she would be late if she didn’t take the boring path anyways. They both reached the train, and Twilight took a look at Spike who was her little friend, but has grown to be taller than her.

“Spike, I need to tell you something when we reach Greenwood. I’ve had an interesting time here, and I have a very interesting story to tell. It’s about how that potion Zecora gave me helped, but it’s effects will never leave me until I decide to let go. Just thinking about letting go of this one effect just destroys my world around me, and I thought it would be good to get an outside opinion. I know you and I think alike, but this just is a serious matter that I will only discuss with you and our friends.”

Twilight glanced back to ponyville as she and Spike boarded the train. They had both made it to Canterlot where Twilight decided to pay a small visit to Princess Celestia, Twilight decided that this was no time to speak about her troubles in ponyville. By night time, she decided that this was the time for her and Spike to rest again. Princess Celestia let them borrow a room in Canterlot castle. After a refreshing night Twilight woke up, and packed up the small amount of stuff they had unpacked and left for the portal. When on the other side all of her friends waited eagerly, Pinkie of course had already prepared a party, and all of her friends took place in preparing it too: Rainbow Dash made sure the sky was clear, Rarity made a beautiful entrance back, and pull together all of the most beautiful decorations she could get, Fluttershy had gotten a few shier animals to show themselves, and cheer up the population, Applejack and Pinkie Pie prepared the food. Twilight entered the portal, and ended on the other side disoriented. She opened her eyes to find this amazing party just for her. Too many things had made her happy with her trip especially the fact that she would have to live with those terrifying nightmares anymore. Everything seemed just fine.
