My Dear Silver

Chapter 12: Wait... Silver did what now?

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

As the sun started to rise, a few rays made it into the Everfree and just perfectly managed to shine straight into my face. I started getting up after a nice peaceful sleep and noticed there was no other sounds in the hut. I stand up and start walking around. As I wander the hut, I notice a lot of trinkets here and there, along with skulls and herbs. Was Zecora some sort of witch doctor? I shook that thought off and kept exploring.

After a while I got bored and went over to the table. On the surface, a note was sitting there, addressed to me. I picked it up and started to read.

Dear Anon,
Hello again. I know I visited you last night but I would like to inform you that everything is fine with Silver Spoon and Discord. I went into both their dreams last night and to my surprise the dream that shocked me the most was Silvers. I had just opened the door to see how she was doing only to see your body laying there on the ground. Silver ran up to it and started tearing up. What really surprised me is that she kissed you. I went up to her and she looked quite embarrassed about the scenario.

As for Discord... he only nodded at what I told him about you being fine and went on to dream about... I don't quite understand what he was dreaming about.

I will be waiting for your arrival at Canterlot Castle where Celestia has requested your presence.

-Luna

I start thinking to myself:

'Oh thats nice. She decided to leave me a note to assure me everything was ok. Maybe I did frighten them a bit but they seem to be taking it well. I guess that everything worked out well in the end. Maybe I should try and find Zecora and tell her that everything has been settled and that I am ready to head back outside the forest once more. I know that Flutters is going to kill me for worrying her so much but it is a small price to pay to relax her. She always tenses up about these things. At the very least I will have to explain what happened during this whole experience and hope she takes the news that I almost lost my life gently. Well, I should take my mind off that for a bit. Does Zecora have bagels around here? I could really use some breakfast I mean I am starving this morning and I could really use a bagel. Where is the kitchen anyways, it has to be around here somewhere. I will look around for it an- WAIT A SECOND DID THE NOTE JUST SAY SILVER KISSED ME IN HER DREAM?! Woah woah woah! Why would she do that? What does it mean? How? When? Where? WHY IS THIS SO CONFUSING?!'

"Human friend, are you alright? Has something here gave you the frights?" I hear Zecora walking in but I am to shocked to hear her talking.

I stood there with a blank expression on my face. The information I just took in is to much to handle. Why would she kiss me in her dreams? Does she like me by chance? I mean, I remember Luna telling me that my dream of dancing with her may come true but is this leading up to it? I need to figure this out.

"Anon, what is wrong? You have been quiet for long." Zecora says with a worried tone.

That snaps me out of it.

"Huh?" I dart my head in all directions before noticing the zebra in front of me.

"Ah, good, you're fine!" Zecora didn't rhyme this time!

"Umm, what happened to your rhyming?" I ask, puzzled.

"Oh, I am not always this way. It is my mind that leads me astray." And back to square one.

Maybe I should ask her more about what Luna saw in Silver's dream. Maybe not...

"Hey Zecora, can you help me find my way back home?"

She smiles and nods her head. As she gathers a few things, she heads for the door, gesturing me to follow. I don't hesitate to trail right behind her. I shut the door behind me and we start to make our way out of the forest.


As we traversed our way through the seemingly endless forest, I kept my thoughts focused on what I was going to say to Silver. I need to know what this is all about before it kills me on the inside. I thought she saw me as just a friend. But friends don't kiss friends! Maybe she is confused on what to think as well. Does she know I have a slight crush on her? Does she feel the same way? Is she just pitying the fact that she saw me that way? I don't know!

Wait a minute, didn't we pass that tree 10 times by now? I remember those 2 birds on it and I recall seeing them a lot during this walk. Either we are going in circles or those birds are stalking us. Both ways makes it sound like in the end we are lost! I try to shake it off but too many things are on my mind to try and take this off as well. Maybe I can discuss this with her mother and ask her how Silver has been acting lately. I'm sure that she would like to see me again and maybe I can pick up something for Diamond and Flutters while I'm there. But these are all thoughts for when I get out of this forest.

Wait a minute... Those trees aren't big enough to provide THAT much shade... Unless.

"Try again Lulu!" I call out.

"BUCK!" Luna shouts, startling Zecora.

"Come walk with us Luna." I smile to her.

She returns the friendly smile and starts walking with us. I think Zecora finally meeting the princess face to face with no one but a human around has starstruck her a tiny bit. Luna can't help but laugh at Zecora's shocked expression while they walked.

"So, Anon" Luna starts, "Did you get the note I sent you?"

I start to blush a bit at the thought of it. How you may ask is beyond me. I barely blush!

"Y-yeah" Great, stage 2, stuttering, "I did, and I am quite surprised about the... you know..."

She nods her head and continues walking. It was mainly quiet for the rest of the trip. About 23 minutes later, I saw daylight between the trees and knew that we were close. I started running to get out of the forest as soon as possible. As I broke through the final layer of trees blocking my way, I looked around to see this is the same way that we went in through. As my head looks to a nearby stump, a saddened Silver Spoon is sitting there. She didn't seem to notice me coming out of the forest. Maybe I can surprise her. I walked over to her and cleared my throat the way Discord would.

"Ugh... no Discord he hasn't come out yet..." She started, not even looking up to see it was me. Tears were running down her face, "I hope he is ok..."

"What if I told you that I was right in front of you!" That got her attention as her head darted up.

"A-ANON!" She squealed and hopped into my arms for a hug.

She seemed to be crying more now, but this time it was tears of joy coming out and not tears of worry and pain. It seems Flutters and Discord heard her squeal and came outside. As soon as they saw me, they ran in and made it a group hug. I saw Luna and Zecora with their heads down.

"Get in here you two!" Everyone nodded.

Their expressions changed to happy as they both walked over to join the hug. It lasted a good minute and a half before it broke. No one spoke for a minute. Then, Luna decided to break the silence.

"Well, I must return to the castle. Will I be seeing you there Anon?"

"Only if Silver can come with me!" I say.

Silver looked up at me.

"Really!?" She asks excited.

"Haha" Luna smiles, "alright Anon, she can come."

We both smile and thank the princess before she teleports away. Flutters and Discord start to head inside and Zecora into town. I stop her and hand her 20 bits for helping me out with everything. She thanks me very much and goes back on her way. That leaves me and Silver.

"Anon I was so worri-" I cut her off by bringing her in for another hug.

"No need to worry anymore! I'm perfectly fine!" I smile.

"I know, but you had me scared there and... I thought..." She started to look away.

"I know, Silver. Luna told me about the dream" I state, "Would you like to discuss this over tea?"

She blushes and slowly nods. I know this is going to be hard for her. I call out to Zecora. Me and Silver catch up to her as the 3 of us head back into Ponyville.

It seems like today is gonna be confusing...


Author's Note

I did the test. It wasn't my best work but I finished it nonetheless. It was super tough seeing as its a grade 11 course and also a multilevel course (University, Basic, applied etc.)

Anyways, time for this story to start getting interesting!
