A Revolution [ In Love ]

--- Chapter 15 - Homesick ---

This chapter focuses mainly on the emotions back in Ponyville. Not required to read, but it does give some insight on the whole Twilight Celestia relationship thing, and the rest of the mane 6 will be in this chapter for the first time. ( unless you count the Clop-fics, but those are only vaguely tied to the main story. )

Let the insanity commence!

Fluttershy sat on her chase, backed against a window so that Celestia's sun warmed her body. It was a nice feeling, but her days were now filling themselves with idle tasks, such as sitting as she did, reflecting upon her days.

Her regular visits had ceased, due to her requested presence in Canterlot with Applejack, for unknown reasons. Rumor had it they were making relations, but nopony else seemed to believe it, it was just unheard of, it was wrong.

She was jealous.

Dash had always made her daily rounds, taking the time to see her every day, without fail. Even if she skipped work, which happened a lot, she still showed. Same time, mid-afternoon. The same nettle tea, the same idle, empty conversations, the same one-way connection.

" Applejack deserves her, anyways. She does so much more than me, and they're a lot more compatible too. I mean, I... " She said to herself, trying to feel happy for them... But even for the time being, having the only close friend she had that took the time to see her daily ripped away was too much to pretend to be happy for.

So, instead she began to cry. She imagined only a few days before, when they had shared each others company once more. Were those days gone now?

She hung her head off the chase, and let the salt water flow across her face with her mane.

' Who knows, maybe I can still get her to come by... That'd be nice... ' she thought to herself.

Rarity lay in her evening robes on her bed. It was a soft bed, and it was large enough to accommodate at least three. The linen was trimmed to have just a little end to it as it was tucked under the circular mattress, and red drapes falling over the top matched the blankets, while contrasting her white coat and robe.

This, it seemed, was nothing to really be admired, but something to think upon to entertain herself. Since those two left, surprisingly little has happened around Ponyville, except for a slight reduction in apple products, and a bit, dare she think it, Derpy weather?

She laughed slightly at the pun, and sighed as she continued to think up hundreds upon hundreds of designs she could prepare. Only, no matter how many she thought of, she did not want to make it.

For once, she felt lazy.

Maybe this is how work makes Rainbow feel, I see why she dosen't do it.

Another laugh, another sigh.

There was nothing to do but wait.

Pinkie and Twilight were in the library, one of them was reading, and one was bouncing off the walls.

Pinkie was looking at pictures of baked goods from the thirteenth century, while Twilight went berserk over Celestia's appearance. She said nothing of their blood ties, though, that was an unspoken vow to not reveal.

" We just sat there, talking, for like, hours! We NEVER get to just talk! " Twilight emitted another high-pitched 'eee!' of joy as she, again, recounted the day.

" Super-duper, hey, what's this do-ja-ma-whopper? " Pinkie said, turning the book up-side down.

Twilight glanced and recalled her memory of the book. Not difficult, seeing she had read it four times.

" That's what they called a burger. Back in ancient times, it's said that beings used to cut up cattle, and eat their flesh on grain and fruit. "

"Yuck! Why would any pony do that?" Pinkie asked.

" It's actually something princess Celestia and I discussed. It wasn't anyPONY, really, it was anyTHING. We don't know too much about them, but we have a few records saying that whatever they were, they were omnivorous, bipedal, homosapiens. " Twilight said with a smile.

Pinkie sat for a minute, ingesting the information. Then two. Then five.

Twilight sighed.

" They walked on two hooves, ate flesh and vegetables and fruit, and they... " she thought how to define the last one. " ... They were a different species entirely. " she finished, satisfied.

" Oh, okay! " Pinkie moved on, not really caring. She did, however, do a handstand, and call herself a homospacian.

" It's SAPIEN, and back hooves, Pinkie. " Twilight corrected.

Pinkie stood on her back hooves with the help of a table, and announced she wanted to go to space, as Twilight planted a hoof deep into her face, shaking her head.

" Maybe Applejack and Ra- " Twilight stopped. They wouldn't.

With a sigh, the two went back to the book.

Short chapter, just to relate everything to everything else again.
