Seven Days III

The night sky darken the fields of grass as seven ponies sat under the moonlight with seven different items a baby rattle, a long scythe, bow & arrow, a small remote, a book, a walking stick and a piece of paper. As the seven ponies two unicorns, two earth ponies, two pegasi and one alicorn sat in a circle with one item in front of them.

"We have to hide the items" the alicorn said as the rattle sat in front of her

"What if he returns the map is our only hope" a earth pony said with the walking stick in front of her.

"The best thing I think is to hide the items but leave clues on where The Map is" a pegasus said as the book lied in front of her.

"No!" Cried the Alicorn "All the items must be hidden from ponies who knows what will happen. Get rid of them all. The Bow and Arrow of Love, The Time Traveling remote, The Monster Handbook, The Scythe of Death, I'll get rid of the Rattle of Reality, The Swords of Loyalty, and The Map of Location got that?"

"Yes" the other said

"Good, let's get moving then Kain is already locked away and I sure hope he stays that way" the alicorn said as the seven ponies spited up as they walk in different directions.

An orange flightless pegasus filly walked though the empty town of Ponyville. The filly walked though the ghost town as the buildings are destroyed with no living pony but herself. Scootaloo eyes looked around as hoove steps sounds are coming from nowhere but everywhere at the same time

"Princess Luna. Help something's wrong" Scootaloo said with terror in her voice

"She not aloud in here. It only us two me and you. So sit back I won't bit." A voice said as Scootaloo fell sitting in an wooden chair

"Who are you? Where are you?" Scootaloo question

"Me? It easy really I'm you and you are me we're one in the same well not really I have power with no one on this pathetic world can match while you are just a flightless pegasus with no friends, no family and no life" the voice said

"That's not true! I got Sweetie Belle, Apple Bloom my sister Rainbow Dash and my parent I'm not alone!" Scootaloo yelled as the voice laughed making the young pegasus sink in her chair.

"You are right but at the same time so every, every wrong stop this right now there two sides, me and then you I want control again! I want to destroy this little pathetic world in two!" The voice said

"You can't I don't have that type of power or I'll be able to fly"

"Scootaloo, this is more about flying or even getting something as useless as a cutie mark! Unleash the magic you hold! Do it! UNLEASH THE MAGIC"

Do it, unleash the magic.

Do it, unleash the magic.

Do it, unleash the magic.

Do it, unleash the magic.

The words repeated over and over as it rang though Scootaloo's mind Do it, unleash the magic show everyone who you really are.

"No!" Scootaloo cried out as she awoke with a start as she looked around to see she still in her bed as she grabs her medicine and quickly drinks it as her parents walked in her room.

"Scootaloo what's wrong?" Her father asked

"I had a nightmare" Scootaloo said with a whisper.

"What happen in it?" Her mother asked kindly

"I don't really know. All I do know is that it kept on repeating the same word over and over again at the end 'do it, unleash the magic'" Scootaloo said as her parent looked at each other worried.

"Don't worry Scootaloo it was just a bad dream nothing more." Her mother said as Scootaloo nodded her head as her parents left her room as Scootaloo looked at her wall

'It was just a bad dream? But why does it seem real?' Scootaloo thought as she slowly closed her eyes again as she went back asleep. As one thought went though her mind.

"Unleash the magic."

Twilight lied down she she couldn't sleep as Celestria asked her over to Canterlot yesterday. Her eyes couldn't move in the past week she seen stuff that she thought was impossible. A Cyclops, a talking robotic bird, being able to use magic with your mind, and the map her friend Fluttershy have. The Map of Location is what her brother Lucky Dice had called it.

But it all didn't make any sense and then there was her friend Applejack words about love as Twilight said the same about. Maybe nothing in this world made sense. Twilight mind wander into deep thought about everything from the Items to the Elements of Harmony.

There was no answer. Why wasn't there no answer? Maybe some stuff are better to stay hidden and a mystery then to be known about. But what about love then? Twilight thought it over and over after her talk as one pony stayed in her mind when thinking about it.

A pegasus guard known as Flash Sentry. Twilight tried to think about how she feels about the pegasus was she just listening to her brain or her heart? Which one can she trust to be her future with her brain hasn't failed her before but love comes from the heart and she should listen to it but how?

How can you listen to your heart? Why should you listen to your heart? Twilight question as the more she thought about it the more it became messy, confusing and it didn't make sense.

Twilight rolled in her bed as she tried to get more comfortable why does it matter who need love anyway? Twilight thought that as long as she has friends it fine.

'But what about when you're alone on a raining day with out anypony' her mind thought up

As the answer was easy her friend Spike he wouldn't leave her. But he already has in a different way that Twilight have thought. He had found love with her farmer friend even Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie was planning on getting married soon. All her friends have love ones to live life with and what does Twilight have nothing but a crown and a crush she truly doesn't know about.

But Twilight soon couldn't take it she closed her eyes knowing full well that she wasn't going to get a full night of sleep.

The sun rose as Twilight unfortunately woke up by the sun shining though her window as she slowly open her eyes to meet the sunlight shining in her eyes as she closed her eyes to block the sun shine. As the young princess climb out of her bed and let out a small yawn.

Knocking then sounded her fully awake as she looked at the time as she didn't need to meet with her old teacher into 3:00pm as Twilight planned on taking the 5:30pm train back home to Ponyville. Then another set of knocking on her door as Twilight completely forgot they was somepony waiting for her to open it. Twilight walked over there as she couldn't think of a word she could say as the knocking continued on.

Twilight reached the door as she lift her hoove as she open the door to find a smiling yellow-est pegasus with a blue mane. Twilight smiled back at the pegasus guard

"Hi Flash, what are you doing here?" She asked as she wished she could take that back

"Oh, I thought that maybe we can have some lunch together. You know hang out and get to know each other" Flash said

"Sure, Flash where stall I meet you?" She asked 'Shall? Who talks like that!?' Her thought question

"How about that new café?" He suggested

"Sure meet you then" Twilight said as the pegasus walked away.

Scootaloo stayed quiet as her friend Apple Bloom and her filly friend Sweetie Belle talked about new ideas. As Scootaloo mind was forced on the words in her dream as she question it 'Unleash the magic. What magic how do I unleash something I don't have?' She thought

"Hey Scoots" Apple Bloom called as the young pegasus head snapped to her friend "What' wrong ya seem a little off?"

"Yeah is something bothering you?" Sweetie Belle asked

"It... Just at I have a nightmare last night telling me that I have no friends, family and life and I should unleash the magic. I don't even know what that means" Scootaloo said as Sweetie Belle wrapped her in a hug and gave her a kiss on her cheek.

"Scootaloo, you know you have friends right don't get knock up about a dumb dream" Sweetie said

"Yeah I know I shouldn't and I have you girls. But it seem so real I just know what to think anymore"

"Well Scoots ya will have us by ya side to help you even if ya don' like it" Apple Bloom said making Scootaloo let out a small laugh.

"Yeah I am suck with you girls I don't if that good or not" she joked as Apple Bloom and Sweetie lightly punched her side.

"Oh shoot!" Sweetie cried

"What is it Sweets?" Scootaloo asked

"Well we haven't written our 'what did we do in summer' report" Sweetie Belle said as Scootaloo and Apple Bloom turned to each other with horror in their eyes.

"They only one pony to help us Miss Cheerlee has to believe us when she there" Apple Bloom said as the two nodded.

The Cutie Mark Crusaders stood in front of Fluttershy cottage as Apple Bloom knocked on the door as the yellow pegasus on it.

"Hello girls do you need any help?" Fluttershy asked

"Well Fluttershy we was wondering if we could talk to Lucky?" Sweetie asked

"Hmm... Sure Lucky you have visitors" Fluttershy said as the male pegasus took his sister placed

"Lucky we was wondering if we could borrow Robin?" Scootaloo asked

The robotic bird looked at the three girls "Miss Scootaloo, miss Sweetie Belle, miss Apple Bloom why would you want to borrow me?" She asked

"So our teacher believe us on what we did during Summer" Apple Bloom said

"Yes that one movement was weird. Sure I'll help you three miss Cutie Mark Crusaders Yay!"

"Ya don' need to say miss before saying our group name"

"Well I'm trying to get with the times of today do you girls talk like this when you meet 'what's up dog what that in the his house?"

"Please never talk like that again!'' Sweetie said as the other two crusaders giggle at the robotic bird

"I still must have a lot to learn I'm a little slow after that meanie pants rewrote my programming have to be shut down." Robin said

"Yeah that's great let's go" Scootaloo said as Robin turned to Lucky Dice as he nodded as the robin went with the three fillies.

Twilight and Flash Sentry sat in the café as the two got some looks by the ponies at the shop as the two have a cup of coffee Twilight have a grass sandwich as Flash have a rose sandwich.

"So this is weird" Flash said breaking the ice

"Just a little. I not used to being on dates" Twilight said

"Well that makes two of us I guess we'll both be weird together" Flash said as Twilight giggle making the pegasus blush.

"Oh please my friends have weird coltfriends or marefriend" Twilight said

"Well they say love is weird and it blind" he said

Twilight finished her sandwich and coffee "Thank you for the lunch Flash I gotta go bye" Twilight said as she left the pegasus.

"Yeah it was great" he said as he drank off his cup.

The sun set as Twilight's train arrived as she boarded. Twilight Sparkle sat on the moving train as she watched the trees past by as Twilight thought about her date. Twilight smiled she went on a date but then that smile disappeared when she felt nothing for Flash in her heart. The guard his other counter part didn't speed up her heartbeat or anything. Nothing like any of her friends 'Am I not meant to love?' She question in thought.

The train stopped at Ponyville as Twilight walked out of the train as she looked around her home town. As she walked to her home The Castle of Friendship.

Twilight open the door as she walked though the empty halls as she walked though darkness. Twilight mind started wandering on why it dark as the lights turned on.

"SURPRISE!!" Her friends cried as the lights turned on

"Surprise!" Pinkie said being late on the dot "Ohh"

Twilight smiled at her friends Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Applejack, Rarity, Discord, even Looker warm up a bit since dating Rarity, Robin, Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo, Apple Bloom and last Fluttershy's brother Lucky Dice.

The male pegasus kept mostly to his sister as the two lost siblings tried catching up on everything as Lucky lips formed a smile learning his shy younger sister now have friends and even a coltfriend to love.

Pinkie Pie turned on the music as the girls and colts danced with ether each other or alone with they willed as Lucky Dice sat out watching the party on the sideline. As Fluttershy walked up next to him.

"Lucky what's wrong?" Fluttershy asked

"Well while you all partying what about the items?" He question

"They hadn't shown up yet" Fluttershy said

"Why do we need to find these Items anyway?" Twilight asked

"Well because of Kain, he can only be locked away in limbo by the seven Items" Lucky answered

"Who's Kain anyhow?" Pinkie asked

"Kain is the demon god of death and destruction his plan is to destroy all life in the galaxy and re-created it with his demon followers" Lucky said

"Alright Kain getting freed a bad thing, what are these Items anyway" Rainbow asked

"Good question" Lucky said making Rainbow proud of herself "They are seven Items well Fluttershy has The Map of Location, you all know about The Monster Handbook, there is also The Rattle of Reality, The Time Travel Remote, The Bow and Arrow of Love. Or know as just The Bow of Love, if you asked me the arrow doesn't get enough love" Lucky said as the girls and colts stayed silent with Pinkie breaking the ice.

"Even I didn't laugh at that pun" she said as Lucky's eyes fell in defeat.

"Anyway The Swords of Loyalty"

"Dips!" Rainbow cried out as she flew in the air but just slowly started to sink back to the ground with the look on Lucky's face.

"Last The Scythe of Death, now any questions?" He asked as Fluttershy Map started glowing "Oh, a Item is starting to re-activating itself" he said as the girls looked at the Map.

"A castle? In Prance the city of love" Rarity said as Lucky looked over The Map of Location

"The Rattle of Reality. Created by the first alicorn called Tycoon. The Rattle feeds off wishes as it grows more powerful and grants those wishes into it runs out of power as your wish stays forever" Lucky Dice said

"Well Prance here I come" Rarity said

"Where are you going?" Lucky question

"To get this Rattle of Reality"

"I said alicorn" Lucky said as Twilight looked around and then pointed to herself.

"Me? But why?" Twilight question

"Because The Map wants you to get your Item. You see I believe I know each Item will go to the right pony" Lucky said

"I just got here but if I have to I'll get this Rattle of Reality" Twilight said.
