Love Through The Impossible
Chapter 2
Previous Chapter"Time to get up, Girls!" Called a voice.
Everyone in the room groaned.
"Can you please give us five more minutes Subrano?" Rainbow Dash complained.
"No!" Replied the Royal Adviser as he flew into the room. "Your Mother needs to speak with you girls!"
"Please Please Please with a cherry on top!" Begged Pinkie Pie.
Subrano shook his head firmly. "I said n-"
"Pleasepleasepleasepleaseprettyplease!"
"NO!" Subrano exclaimed "Now get UP! He commanded.
With irritable groans, the girls got out of bed.
"Lazy teenagers." Subrano muttered to himself as he left the room.
Sunset Shimmer sat at her mirror, using her magic to lazily run a brush through her messy red-yellow mane. The twenty-two year-old princess yawned and looked over at her younger twenty year-old sister, Rarity.
"It's sad we have to get up so early, I was having the most wonderful dream!" She exclaimed.
"Ooh! What was it about Rares?" Pinkie asked as she took a seat at her mirror.
Rarity's cheeks lit up. "I...uh...hehe..."
"Ah bet it was about a boy." Applejack whispered to Rainbow Dash, who gagged.
Rarity blushed more.
Applejack Rainbow, and Pinkie erupted with laugher as the high-hoofed one another.
Sunset rolled her eyes with an amused smile, and Fluttershy giggled.
Rarity cleared her throat and glared at them. "You three are very unladylike."
"Hay!" Sunset Shimmer exclaimed. "Where's Twilight?"
They looked around the room, finding no trace of their sixteen year-old sister.
"Oh my!" Fluttershy exclaimed. "Mother will be upset when She finds out Twilight's not here."
"Well...I guess we'd better go, you know how Subrano is when we're late." Rarity said.
"Ah hope Twi is okay, I would hate fer somethin' to have happened to er" Applejack said with a worried expression as they left the room.
"You and me both." Sunset replied.
"Good morning girls." Queen Celestia greeted cheerfully.
"Good mooring Mother." The girls said unison.
Celestia looked over the girls and frowned. "Where's Twilight?"
Sunset Shimmer stepped forward. "We couldn't find her anywhere Mother, she wasn't there when we were getting ready."
"She wasn't even there when we woke up." Fluttershy said.
The Queen gave a tiered sigh. "Well, if you see her, tell her I wish to speak to her."
"Yes Mother." The girls replied again.
"Okay," Celestia said. "now for your list of duties for today." The Queen turned to see Subrano float in, carrying in their lists.
"I just realized," Pinkie Pie giggled as she whispered to her sister Rainbow Dash. "she said duty." The two girls giggled while Rarity rolled her eyes.
"Yes Pinkie, that was really mature." Rarity said flatly.
Pinkie and Rainbow continued to giggle.
"Thank you Subrano." Queen Celestia said, addressing the breezie.
"You are welcome your Majesty!" Subrano replied.
As Celestia began to read off their duties for the day, Sunset Shimmer looked behind her. "Where could she be?"
Somewhere on the edge of Equestria, a young, sixteen year-old lavender mare was flying around with her dragon.
"Look Spike!" Twilight exclaimed. "There it is!" She gestured to a large air-ship sitting on the very edge of Equestria.
Fighting through the strong winds of her mother's storm barrier, Twilight flapped her wings as hard as she could to get to the ship.
They finally reached it and ran below deck. Twilight lit her horn and looked around the ship.
"Twilight? What are we doing here?" Spike asked, his eyes full of fear.
"I wanted to see if we can find anymore human treasures." Twilight replied.
Lightning cracked and loud thunder followed suite, causing Twilight to loose her concentration. Her magic light went out and left them in the dark.
"Twilight it's creepy in here!" Spike said, clinging fearfully to her back.
"Oh Spike, don't be such a chicken." Twilight said, trying to get her magic to re-activate.
"I'm no chicken." Spike said, clearly offended.
Finally, Twilight was able to activate the spell again, and light up the room again.
She gasped. "Oh my...Oh my goodness!" She exclaimed.
"What?! What is it?!" Spike asked, very alarmed by Twilight's sudden outburst.
"Look!" She said as she raced to a nearby table. Spike gazed down at the item on the table.
"What is it?" He asked.
"I don't know, but I bet Derpy will." Twilight replied as she place the item in her bag.
Twilight looked around the room some more. "Ooh! Look over there!"
She raced over to large chest and opened it. Twilight gasped. Inside were old cloths and a few other things.
But what had caught Twilight's attention, was what was sitting on top of all of it: A picture.
The picture was in a beautiful silver frame and depicted a man, a woman, and a young boy.
The man, had deep blue skin, electric blue eyes, and silver colored hair. Her wore a crown atop his head.
The woman, had lavender skin, blue eyes, and sky blue hair with white, light pink, and light purple highlights. She too, wore a crown atop her head.
And the young boy, had light peach skin, blue eyes, and blue hair.
Twilight looked at them, smiling. They looked so happy. She gazed at the boy. Even though he looked younger than her in this picture, she thought that he looked a bit handsome.
"Uh, Twilight." Spike said, waving a claw in front of her face. Twilight shook herself out of her stupor.
"Yes?" Twilight replied.
"Why were you staring at that picture?" Spike asked.
"I...I was just looking at the picture, nothing more." Twilight replied. "Now come on, lets go see if Derpy knows what this thing is." She stuffed the picture inside her bag and levitated Spike onto her back.
Suddenly, they both heard a buzzing sound, and they saw a blue light approaching from the upper deck.
"Oh no." Twilight muttered.
She dived behind some barrels, hoping to not be found.
"What is it?" Spike asked in whisper.
"Twitter-Mights." Twilight replied quietly.
Spike's eyes widened and Twilight quickly covered his mouth before he screamed.
The Twitter-Mights flew around in the room, looking for any intruders. When Queen Celestia used her magic to create the storm-barrier, she placed Twitter-Mights in the barrier to guard it. They would blast you to bits no matter who you were, which was why ponies were forbidden to be anywhere near the storm barrier.
The Twitter-Mights began to leave the room, and fly to the upper deck, but Spike sneezed. The Twitter-Mights turned and suddenly blasted the barrels, reveling The princess and the dragon hiding behind it!
The began to fire lightning bolts at them. Twilight quickly levitated Spike onto her back and ran for her life, evading lightning strikes.
She ran to the upper deck and took flight, fighting against the strong winds of the storm barrier and avoiding getting hit by lightning.
A large strike for the Twitter-Mights set the end of Twilight's tail on fire.
"We're almost there!" Twilight called back to Spike.
"You know, I think you might be on fire to get there." Spike half joked.
"What do you mean by tha-?" Twilight looked back and saw her tail on fire. "Ahhhhhhhhhh!"
"I'll try to put it out!" Spike said as Twilight flew around in a panic.
"Yes please do!" Twilight cried.
Suddenly, and strong wind caught Twilight and launched her forward and downward at the same time.
"Ahhhhhhh!" They both exclaimed.
"Incoming!" Spike yelled. They launched out of the storm barrier, headed strait for the ground!
CRASH
"Uuuuug." Twilight groaned.
"You can say that again." Spike said weakly.
"Uuuuug." Twilight repeated.
Spike helped Twilight to her hooves. She stumbled around for a moment before she gasped. "Is my tail okay?!"
She looked back at her slightly singed tail and frowned.
"Could've been worse." Spike commented.
"True." Twilight replied. "Now why don't we get this thing to Derpy."
Spike nodded. "Yeah."
The two flew a few miles to the outside of Equestria's main borders. Outside of it a ways, was a small house.
Twilight landed and knocked on the door. "Hello, is any pony home?"
"Coming!" A voice from inside called.
After a few seconds, a gray colored mare with a blonde main, and wonky gold eyes opened the door. "Hello Twilight, how are ya?" She asked.
"I'm doing fine Derpy." Twilight replied with a smile.
"Come in, come in! I just finished some tea, would you like some?" Derpy asked.
"Some tea would be lovely, thank you!" Twilight said as she entered the house.
Derpy raced into the kitchen and grabbed three cups filled with tea and brought them into the dining room. "I'll be back with the muffins in a moment." She winked and headed back into the kitchen.
"Ooh, I wonder which type she made this time!" Spike said with excitement.
After a minute, Derpy re-entered the room with a platter of muffins in her mouth. She set them on the table and smiled. "I made blueberry vanilla this time."
"Oooh!" Spike and Twilight said at the same time. Spike even began to drool a bit, but wiped his mouth when Twilight elbowed him.
"Here ya are!" Derpy said giving a muffin to each of them and then grabbing one for herself. "So...What brings you two here?"
"Oh!" Twilight exclaimed. "Derpy you won't believe what we found!" She gave the bag to the pegasus.
Oooh! More Human Stuff eh?" Derpy said curiously as she began to look in the bag.
She pulled out the first item that Twilight had found and began to examine it. "Let me see here." It was an a cylinder shaped thing with glass lenses at each end, it also could grow and shrink.
"Oh my goodness! I haven't seen one of these in forever!" Derpy exclaimed.
"What is it?!" Twilight asked.
"It's a star-gazer!" Derpy said. "With this thing you could see all the planets and stuff!"
"That's so cool!" Spike exclaimed.
Derpy opened her window. "You can even look at the sun with these things!"
The 'Star-Gazer' was pointed toward the sun and Derpy yelled. "OUCH!"
"The Sun?!?!" Twilight exclaimed, suddenly remembering. "Oh dang it!"
"Oooh! Hot! Oooh! Oooh! Eye! On! FIRE!!!" Derpy yelled, dancing in panic around the room.
"The Sumer Sun Celebration preparations!" Twilight said. "Oh! Mother is gonna kill me!"
"Oh! I forgot about that!" Spike said.
Twilight quickly grabbed the 'Star-Gazer', their muffins and stuffed them in her bag. "Thank-you Derpy! See you at there Summer Sun Celebration!" And with that, she raced out the door with Spike on her back.
"Your welcome honey!" Derpy replied, after pulling her head out of the water-filled kitchen sink. "Oooh! That's gonna be hurtin' for a few days." She said to herself.
