Transformation: What about our world?
CMC Initiation
Previous ChapterNext Chapter“AHHH!!” I screamed for being scared for my life on this train.
My brother was not the same he was shouting, “Woo Hoo!”
Lily was scared as well and was burying her face into mom’s chest. I was trying to be brave, but the speed was too much for me. I have to close my eyes and focus on being calm. As I took a deep breath and Jim who was still a colt appeared in my mind.
“I can sense you are scared for going this fast?” he asked.
“Yes… Can I be comforted by you?” I asked.
Jim was the same age as me, but was a human at first. He lie down and signaled me to lie down next to him. I did and he felt warm, fuzzy and so much more. I think I was falling for my conscience. ‘Do not be silly he is just here to comfort you because you are scared… I hope.’ I thought.
Jim was still pitch black, but when I touched him he was showing his fur which was orange and it revealed that he was a Unicorn. He had brown hair as his main and hazel eyes to complement his mane. I looked at his butt to see his cutie mark, but it was blank. I was the same; I do not have my cutie mark, just like Noah and Lily.
Jim smiled, “What are you staring at?”
I blushed, “I-Um… Nothing. I just wanted to see what cutie mark you have.”
“Well I do not have a cutie mark at all, but I am here with you. It makes me happy.”
“Why does it make you happy?”
“I looked at your memories and it sounds great to be a child of the father who saved Equestria.”
“Why does it sound great? I think it sort of annoying being the center of attention. I almost got the fear of being in big groups ever since I was a small foal.”
“What happened? There is nothing in your memories… Your parents told you, did they not?”
“When I was born into this world there was a bunch of paparazzi and they crowded me. My dad took me to the Canterlot Castle to get the paparazzi away from my mom and me. I was crying a whole lot, but stopped when I was in the Canterlot Palace.”
“So you do not remember it, but your parents told you anyway?”
“They want to protect me from me having the fear of other ponies, so I understood their predicament.”
I could hear my dad calling out to me, “I need to go. I will see you tonight when I dream.”
“I will be here.” Jim said kissing my forehead.
I awoke back into the train station and the speed was over. I looked around and my dad was tapping my shoulder.
“You OK?” he asked.
I yawned, “Yeah, just had a great nap.”
I undid my seat belt and stretched, “Aw. That feels so better.”
“I take it you like my train?” he asked.
I smiled, “Yeah, if it was not so fast.”
“It is supposed to be fast, Grace.”
We headed out of the room into the Ponyville train station and there was my mom trying to comfort a crying Lily.
“C’mon Lily it was not so bad. You see the train was so fast I was able to sleep through it all.” I said.
She tried to stop crying and Noah gave her a hug and she took those deep breaths to calm down. She walked up to me and gave a light smile.
“Can I sit next to you next time so we can sleep together?” she asked.
“Of course.” I said.
“I can sleep next time too.” Noah said patting Lily’s back.
I looked over Noah’s shoulder and walked towards the crystal humans to see what they thought about dad’s train. Hatchi was on his knees and Naki had her hand on his shoulder.
“So what did you think of Daddy’s train?” I asked.
Hatchi got up, “It was a long roller coaster ride that would not stop after five hours.”
“What he means it that it was a great train that has enough speed to compete against Rainbow Dash.” Naki said.
“Yeah I highly doubt that.” A voice said behind me.
I knew who that was and I sprinted towards her for a surprise attack hug. I jumped and hugged her. We both fell to the ground, I looked up and there was Rainbow Dash in my arms.
“Hey, you guys are getting bigger and no offense heavier.” She said.
“Well excuse me for having some royal cake once in a while.” I said.
We laughed and Lily ran towards Fluttershy when she saw her. Fluttershy to her was like another mother who understood her shyness. Lily gave her a warm hug and Fluttershy did the same.
“Hey there Lily. *Gasp* you have cry marks on your cheeks?! Why would you make her cry?” Fluttershy said to Trey.
“Whoa! Whoa! The train did that she was overwhelmed by the shear speed.” He said.
“What’s all the commotion?” another voice said.
Then my brother decided to do the surprise attack and jumped hug Twilight. Twilight knew our jump hug attacks and she caught him. She levitated him to the ground and she smiled.
“Nice Try kiddo.” She said.
“Yep, you should know better than to sneak on Twilight.” Apple Jack said.
‘Oh really?’ I thought.
I got off of Rainbow Dash and winked at her. She understood and flew towards Applejack and talked. While I jump hug attacked her. She fell for it and we all laughed. I saw Spike was riding on Rarity heading towards us.
“Sorry we are so late, but… Oh my! Trey this Train is stunning!” Rarity said getting off topic.
“What she means is that she did not know that the train lasted for five hours at each destinations.” Spike said getting off a stunned Rarity.
I got off of Apple Jack and Pinkie Pie was right behind me which got me to jump.
“I see you are improving on your hug sneak attacks. Noah needs improving and you keep up the good work.” She said.
“Thank you Sensei.” I said bowing.
Rarity finally snapped out of it, “Ah. My younger sister want you to join the Cutie Mark Crusaders. Or the C.M.C. for short.”
“That sounds like a great idea” dad said winking at Luna and she giggled.
“So you go with Rarity to see Sweetie Belle and the others and have fun.” Mom said.
Lily, Noah and I said good bye to dad, mom, Zoey, Hatchi (who really wanted to go with us), Gaitou (who was grabbing Hatchi’s shirt to prevent him to go anywhere), and Naki (who just waved.).
We walked with Rarity to meet up with another filly and another brown colt who was wearing a spinning cap.
“Ah! You must be Sir Trey’s children! It must be so cool being a daughter or son of a hero!” he said.
“Button! Please, they are on vacation.” She said.
She cleared her throat, “My name is Sweetie Bell and this is Button Mash.”
“Nice to meet you!” Noah said high hoofing Button.
“So my name is Grace, this is Lily and this is Noah.” I said.
“Hello.” Lily said.
“Nice to meet you Noah.” Button said.
“Grace, come with us so we can initiate you to the Cutie Mark Crusaders.” Sweetie Belle said.
We waved good bye to Rarity who had another dress due tomorrow and need to be finished. Spike wanted to come, but was dragged in by Rarity because she needed all the help she needed.
Button knocked on a door to the tree house where they are located and they let us in.
“I suppose this is the other male that is going to join the CMC?” said the one with the red ribbon.
“Yeah it is supposed to even up all of the members” said the Pegasus.
“Guys they are listening.” Sweetie Belle said to them.
They both cleared their throats and introduced themselves to us.
“My name is Apple Bloom younger sister of Apple Jack.” Apple Bloom said
“My name is Scootaloo. Nice to meet you.” Scootaloo said.
“Now let’s get started shall we?” Sweetie Belle asked.
Scootaloo got to a pair of bongos and Apple Bloom next to the podium and Sweetie Belle got out a paper and cleared her throat.
“We the Cutie Mark Crusaders elect Grace, Lily, Button, and Noah as a sister, brother, friend and fellow Cutie Mark Crusader. You are solemnly sworn in her this day in witness of your fellow sisters, friends and fellow Crusaders. Congratulations!” stated Sweetie Belle.
‘Well that was easy.’ I thought.
“Let’s have a party at the barn. Pinkie Pie set up the cakes, drinks, sweets and what not!” Apple Bloom said.
Now we headed toward Apple Jack’s farm and all of a sudden I get this strange head ache. ‘Jim are you alright?’ I asked through my mind.
‘Something is coming. I do not know what, but it is becoming stronger by the day.’ Said Jim.
What did he mean? Is there something dangerous coming to hurt my dad? Or is something coming our way into the future? ‘I am on vacation. I need to relax for today and worry about tomorrow.’ I thought.
Then I proceeded to catch up with my new fellow Cutie Mark Crusaders.
