Papillon.
Summer Suns Chaos (part 1)
Previous ChapterNext ChapterBookworm signed, she and her friends had recently found their marks and didn't have much to do anymore. She was alone in the club house, waiting for at least Rainy, who was the appointed leader, as she nearly always was there. The cream alicorn looked out of the window, and saw the setting sun, how late could it be?
She signed once more, it was the summer sun in a week but not only that, she and her 5, yes 5 Freshy counts, friends had been asked to put on a play for the school children, alliterating the return of Princess Luna. Bookworm was to play Twilight, despite having stage fright. Rainy was playing Rainbow Dash, much to her joy, Dizzy managed to snip in a play as Pinkie Pie which worked actually. Freshy, who saw how nervous Bookworm was for having to act out her 'father' and asked that since he was a unicorn that he could take the job, which they aloud, and thus Bookworm was appointed to play Fluttershy. The twins were appointed to play their parents, Mel being Applejack as she had a proven southern tone, and Harm as Rarity because she literally was her, no arguments about it.
The play was gonna be put on in two weeks, a week after the summer sun, which made a lot of sense, since school was out and the foals were meant to be with their parents on at the Summer Suns Celebration, which was being held in Ponyville this year.
Bookworm smiled to herself, got onto her hooves and began walking out, bowing after she exited the door and ran straight into Rainy, who had only just come up the stairs. Rainy groaned, but grinned.
''Playing the royalty role already?''
''Ah...Uh...''
''Don't worry your pants off, plus *Wink wink* I wonder if Freshy will like it? Right, Bookie?''
Bookie went bright red, which probably would make Big Mac jealous. She almost glared down at the ditzy/tomboyish pegasus. Rainy giggled at the filly's reaction, causing Bookie to blush heavier and contiue to glare at Rainy.
Bookie glanced at her wings for a very brief second, before opening them and flapping them and flying which she never trusted herself to do before. She managed to force away the blush and to actually gasp in surprise as she flew above the club house, even Rainy a natural flyer since almost birth was shocked that the alicorn filly who didn't trust her wings to take her off the ground, was flying.
Sometime had passed since then though and the summer sun was literally the next day. All the fillies were excited to see Princess Celestia, with the exception of Bookie who was particularly her grandfoal and saw her most days.
The girls had also been forced into a clothing thing, mainly by Rarity with a bit of help from Harm. Bookie was forced into wearing a long blue gown with stars trialing the back and star ear clips, which felt weird. Mel and Harm were both wearing the same, a long translucent dress and a cowgirl's hat. Dizzy was wearing a grey vest with a translucent gown floating off her back, and a headband of muffins.
''There is no bucking way that your getting me in that.'' growled Rainy, acting more like a father then anything.
''Language, darling.'' said Harm.
''And you'll be because it's amazing.'' said Rarity, flicking her horn to glow.
The magical glow wrapped around a dress which matched Rainbow's first gala dress, just filly sized. She then used her magic to force Rainy to stay still, much to the young pegasus's annoyance. The dress was soon on, much to Rainy irritation. She even had tears of frustration running down her face, from a blue eyes.
The girls giggled at their tomboyish friend but kindly, though it still annoyed Rainy even more. She didn't wanna wear a dress, for no reason what's so ever! But look at her, she was wearing a dress, in front of her best friends at that.
''Hey, Bookworm. Isn't there another?'' asked Rarity.
Bookworm blushed, and nodded. ''Um...His name is Fresh Teeth...but....Um...''
''Somepony's in summit junnit.''
''Huh?'' asked Mel. ''What's that?''
''Means she has a crush on this Fresh, much like her father's first crush, on Flash Sentry.''
''Ah, Bookie did have a crush after all.'' said Harm.
''I-I D-don't have a crush on Freshy!'' yelled Bookie, out of embarrassment.
''Then why are you blushing?'' asked Rainy, who was finally out of annoyance.
''...Well...'' mumbled Bookie, tears swelling in our eyes.
''She does have a crush after all, doesn't she?'' said Dizzy, who got a nod from Rainy.
''Oh buck it!'' screamed Bookie.
She ran out of the boutique and down the mud path, out of the orchard. She flapped her wings, and began flying which shocked everypony but Rainy, who had already seen her fly. She blushed heavily, and flew towards the friendship castle.
She sat in a corner of her room, bawling her purple eyes out. She was shocked that her friends would tease her for having a early crush, they had done light teasing before but no. She didn't want to think she was anymore different that what she was.
''Bookie? You alright in there?''
It was her older sister, Nyx. The alicorn teenager walked in, looking at her sister. She frowned, and walked over to the young filly, wrapping a wing around her shoulder. Bookie gasped, and looked at her sister's kind dragon-like eyes. The teen smiled.
''What's wrong?''
''...My friends were teasing me for having a crush...On...a colt...''
''I see, you now, back when I was your age I was different too. Remember when mom told you about how I came into her care?''
''Uh-huh...''
''Well, shortly after the incident, I was outcasted by quite a bit of my classmates for being a 'demon' as they said. Bullying happened to me everyday, my friends stuck up for me, even though I was a crybaby, and timid about nearly everything. Eventually, I told mom who had become a princess by then and it was all sorted out. But come on, enough about me, we have a summer sun to get too. Mom and dad, as well as the twins, have already left.''
''...Wait...It's night time already?''
''Yep, you spent most of this time crying in your room.''
''...Okay...''
The pair smiled at each other, and became walking down the stairs. They chatted about little things, after all the stairs were long, yet pretty wide. They soon reached the bottom, and walked out of the door.
''Wanna fly there?'' asked Nyx, lowering down.
''...Sure...but um...I can fly on my own...''
''You sure?''
Bookie smiled, slowly opened her cream colored wings and flapped them, taking to the sky. Nyx smiled, when did her sister, who was terrified of heights, learn to fly. But that didn't matter, they had a summer sun to get too.
The pair flew through the night sky, which had a lovely breeze which was a prefect contrast to the hot weather of the summer months. The town hall wasn't too far by flying, and they reached in a matter of minutes.
Inside the town hall, there was quite a few ponies, it was still a bit early so many were frolicking and chatting. Some were eating some food which was being either passed out, or was laying still on the clothed table.
Nyx walked with Bookie, at least till they met up with Twilight and the smallish family. Thistle and Whistle had ran off to play with Jewel and Bullet, whilst Fluttershy was preparing her bird friends.
A while later, trumpets were blown signalling that it was time. Everypony stopped and watched the balcony, where Ivory Scroll walked out from. She said her piece, and signal to Rarity to call out the princess.
What happened next shocked everypony, Celestia didn't appear. Instead, a dark grey smoke rose from the balcony and formed a dark grey mare, with a blood red mane and dangerous orange eyes, and fangs. On the alicorn mare's flank was a black butterfly.
But the thing which shocked Bookie was that she reconized the mare from somewhere. She gripped her pendent, and whispered to it 'evil mare with a butterfly cutie mark'. It came up with Lady Butterfly, or newly named Queen Butterfly. She was the mother of three mares known as Papillon.
She was shocked, but whilst trying to put two and two together. The mare had flew over to her, gripping her by the neck and grinning.
''Dear, Bookworm. Your pretty quick to learn, much like your incarnation, my daughter Aurora. Many believed that there wasn't a alicorn back then, but I existed with my three beloved daughters. Aurora, Weather and Sweet Music.''
Bookworm looked shocked, but she eventually put two and two together. The papillon that she and her friends were are the reincarnation of those mares, but how did they end up with four instead of three. She groaned, trying to get out of the mares iron grip.
''Get your filthy hooves off Bookie!'' growled her friends.
''Girls...Get out of here! She's too powerful!'' yelled Bookie, only to have the grip tighten.
''Bookie!''
