Flowers of Blue

After several weeks of recovery, I decided to look through the Canterlot Archives for a way home, though it took a few sleepless days for me to go through all of it.

“Sunny?” A worried voice asked.

“Yes, mom?”

“Maybe it’s time for you to take a break; you’ve been up for days!” she told me, “Get some rest.” As reluctant as I was to rest, the only thing keeping me up was the occasional cup of coffee.

“Maybe you’re right….” I started before exhaustion finally washed over me, causing me to collapse. Catching me in her magic, my foster mother lifted me over to my bed before I passed out. Maybe, just maybe, I could live here, even with everything I’ve been through.

I kept thinking about that day, the day I finally gave up on trying to find a way home, even if just to see my parents again.

”Sunny?”

‘Maybe it’s for th-’

“Sunny!” I finally heard a voice say. I took a look up to see a panicking Twilight, “Apple Bloom is gone!” That snapped me out of my thoughts.

“We need to find her, then,” I told my panicking friends, “Applejack, where do you think she… could’ve…. go-” I stuttered to a stop before my eyes grew wide. ‘Buck,’ I thought with realization, ‘She is going after Zecora.’ Taking a look at my friends, I cryptically asked, “What starts with ‘Z’ and rhymes with ‘lacora’?” In response, Applejack’s eyes widen.

“We Need to get her!” Applejack exclaimed before muttering, “That foalish pony…” After a quick gallop into the Everfree, we finally found Apple Bloom following Zecora. “Apple Bloom!” Applejack yelled, catching not only AppleBloom’s attention, but Zecora’s as well.

“Beware!” she warned, “Beware, you pony folk! Those leaves of blue are not a joke!”

‘Leaves of blue? What leav- oh…’ I realized as I looked down, ‘Those flowers. Now, where did I see those flowers from?’ I turned back to my friends and found them already leaving. “Hay! Wait up!” I yelled after them.

As I woke up, I got out from under my covers like I usually do. Yawning, I took one step off my bed and immediately fell off, causing my brain to wake up fully.

‘Gah! What the buck?!’ I thought with shock as I took a look around the room. After a few minutes, I noticed that everything seemed to have gotten bigger overnight. ‘Wait,’ I thought, ‘They didn’t get larger, I got smaller!’ Immediately, I run over to the door, willing it to open with my magi- THWACK

‘Ouch…’ I groaned mentally as I fell on my rump, “Why didn’t the door....” I started before realizing that my voice was higher pitched than it usually was. This caused me to come to one conclusion, ‘I’m…. I’m a child again?’ I pondered. ‘Ok, let’s try this once more…’ Backing up while planting my hooves on the ground, I started to summon my magic, willing it to grasp the doorknob to open the door.

Nothing happens.

‘That’s great. I’m trapped in my own room with no way out, stripped of my magic, and stuck in the body of a foal,’ I thought bitterly, ‘I guess I have to call for help.’ I lifted a hoof to my neck only to realize that my necklace wasn’t there. ‘Buck….’

Meanwhile…

“Um, girls?” I asked, “Where’s Sunny? It’s not like her to just skip out on something, based on what you all told me about her.”

“Now that you mention it, she hasn’t missed out on something unless she tells us in advance,” Rarity commented.

"We should go find her, because if she is affected by the curse as well, she needs to be there with us to get cured.” I told them. After getting a nod from each of them, we went to her house first since that was the most likely place for her to be.

After a few futile minutes banging on the door, I came to the conclusion that nopony was coming, until I heard a voice.

"Sunny?" a voice that I recognized as Twilight called out.

"Twilight?" I called back, "Is that you?"

“Sunny! Where are you?" she asked.

"In my room, I'm trapped!"

"Hold on! We're coming!" I heard hoofsteps getting closer, when I thought they were about to past....

"I'm in this room!" I yelled, hoping to direct them to the correct room. After a few moments, I saw the doorknob rotate, followed by the door opening.

"Sunny...?" Twilight asked while looking around.

"Down here," I called out. Taking a look down, she gasped at what she saw.

"W- What happened...?" Twilight managed.

"I honestly don't know. Oh, and one more thing, don't, and I mean don't tell my mother, as she will probably use this to her advantage." I said. As Twilight left the room, I started to follow only to collapse from exhaustion. "W- why do I feel so weak all of a sudden...?" I managed, catching Twilight's attention. As I was struggling to get up, I felt a pair of hooves lift me up. Looking up, I saw Twilight putting me on her back.

"You can ride on my back until your strength returns, Sunny," Twilight told me, like I have any choice on the matter. As we were walking back to the rest of the girls, I kept thinking I forgot something. I realized what it was when I heard a faint knocking on the front door.

'Buck, my mother was coming over today,' I mentally face-hoofed, 'That's what I was forgetting.' Sighing, I said, "Come in." As the door opened, I sat on the sofa with dread, bracing for anything that could happen.

"Hello, Sunny..." she stuttered to a stop when she saw me.

As she walked forward in silence, I quickly said, "I swear, it's not what it looks like!"

"It doesn't look like what? My little filly," she asked jokingly, causing me to groan.

"Out of all the things you could've done, and you chose to tease me?!" I asked her, trying to keep my anger in check. ‘At least she didn’t use my current predicament to her advantage….’ I barely finished the thought when I was embraced by my mother.

After she finally released me, she turned to the other girls, just apparently just realizing that something was wrong with them, “If I may ask, what happened?”

Before somepony could speak, I cleared my throat, “I have an idea, and before you ask, it’s not a curse.” I said, causing the other girls to raise their eyebrows.

“Not a curse? Then what is it?” Twilight asked skeptically.

“Poison Joke, I- I remember reading about them. It’s a bright blue flower that puts the victim in the most embarrassing situation they could be in.” I explained, “In my case, it’s having to relive my foalhood.” ‘I really hope this isn’t permanent.’ I thought to myself.

“Well, how about you girls go and try and find a cure for this, while me and Sunny stay here,” the Princess said.

Uh oh, this can’t end well.

Living the Foal Life

“Why can’t I go?” I complained to my mother after the other girls left.

“For one, you’re cut off from you magic, and two, your stamina is lacking,” she paused for a moment, “I just realized, you’re acting just like a foal…” My eyes widen when she said that.

‘She’s right, I was just acting like a foal. I wonder if the Poison Joke affected my mental processes.’ I pondered.

“Is everything alright, Sunny?” my mother asked in a worried tone. It was at that point I realized I was on the verge of crying.

‘Yep, it definitely affected my thought process.’ “N- nothing, it just an effect that the Poison Joke had on my thought process,” I told her, “Oh, I just realized I forgot to tell you about something I learned I could do when me and Rarity were captured.”

Raising an eyebrow, she said, “You learned something?” Before I could respond, my stomach growled. “Looks like a certain filly is hungry,” my foster mother joked, trying to keep a straight face.

“This is not how I planned this to go today,” I muttered to myself, “I guess I can have an apple,” I said cautiously. After my mother left the room, I released a breath I didn’t realize I was holding. ‘I really hope they find a cure soon,’ I thought as my mother came back into the room with a cut up apple.

“Here you are, my little filly,” she teased again, having a harder time keeping a straight face. I shot a glare at her.

“Not. Funny,” I deadpanned. I’m, for some reason, having a hard time just saying that short sentence. Sighing, I grabbed an apple slice with my hoof (though ever since I got my memory back, I kept wondering what enabled a hoof to grab something) and stuck it in my mouth, beginning to chew. After a few minutes, I finally finished off the apple (and discovered that I didn’t have as many teeth as I used to have, making it harder to eat). “Now where was-” YAWN “- I?” I managed though my exhaustion. ‘Wait, why am I tired all of a sudden?!’ I thought as it became harder and harder to keep my eyes open.

“It looks like it’s a certain filly’s nap-time.” my mother snickered, no longer being able to keep a straight face.

“No, I’m not tired,” I managed between yawns, “Not…. tired…. at all…..” I managed as I drifted into slumber.

For the first time in my life here in Equestria, the Sun decided to be my enemy. As I opened my eyes, I released a yawn as I looked around the room. At first, I was confused when I realized that everything seemed to be bigger than me, but then I remembered. 'I can't believe that all of this wasn't a dream....' I thought bitterly. Stretching, I got off the bed and started to walk through the open door, heading into the living room. When I entered the room, I noticed that Twilight was waiting for me, next, I noticed that her horn was back to normal. "Hey, Twilight." I managed between yawns.

"Hey, Sunny. How did you sleep?" she asked.

"Could have been better," I told her, "Though, how long was I out for?"

"Since noon," she told me. Taking a look at the clock in the room, I noticed it read six-thirty.

"Wait, you mean I was asleep for six hours?!" I asked, annoyed, "Why didn't you try to wake me?"

"We couldn't wake you," she said simply, "Come on, let's get you cured," she told me as she picked me up, putting me on her back.

"Hey! I can walk!" I protested, though I made no attempt to get off, as she would just put me back on her back. Giving me a smirk, she started to walk out the front door. After a short (and humiliating) trot over to the spa, I was brought to a room with a hot tub filled with what appeared to be water. "Seriously? Water is the cure?!" I asked, barely able to keep my anger in check.

"Not alone, there are herbs and other ingredients in there as well," she told me. Sighing, I reluctantly lowered myself into the water, going under to get the full effect. As I sat there, I could feel my strength and magic returning. After a few more seconds, I came back from under the water. "Did it work...?" I started before realizing my voice was still higher pitched. Seeing a glass of water, I instinctively used my magic to levitate it over to me, taking a sip out of it before putting it back.

"Your magic returned," Twilight noted, "Though you're still the size of a young filly."

"Jeez, Twilight, I never would of guessed," I replied with a roll of my eyes. Getting out of the tub, I proceeded to levitate a towel over to my to dry myself off when I saw a violet aura engulf the towel. 'Uh oh,' was all I had time to think before I was covered by the towel, getting dried vigorously. After the towel finally lifted off of me, I shot a glare at Twilight, who bore a sheepish grin. "Really, Twilight? You too?" I asked. Releasing a sigh, I told her, "Ok, let's get back to the house, I need to send a letter." Another short trot later, we arrived back at my house, where I proceeded to get an quil and some paper out. 'She is so going to do something to me next time she's over...' I thought with dread.

Invasion

A few weeks passed while I was stuck as a foal; those were humiliating weeks. Since the Joke’s cure didn’t work completely, my foster mother would come by and check on me every few days, thankfully no longer joking about my predicament. During that time, I did a little research on alicorns to find out why the cure didn’t work completely. One thing I found out is that alicorns has an inert resistance to magic. Another thing I learned is that alicorns age much slower than any other species in equestria. I theorized that I was only part alicorn before, enough to look like one but not enough to have every trait an alicorn has. But now, I’m fully an alicorn, though there isn’t enough evidence to support it. Anyways, I was flying home from Zecora’s after reporting my findings to her in the middle of the night when I felt something constrain my wings, causing me to plummet. I closed my eyes in fear, thinking it was the end for me, only for something to catch me. Opening my eyes, I saw what looked like changelings. Before I could come out of my shock, they put something on my horn before covering me in some kind of green goo. I started to charge a spell when I felt a nasty shock go up my body, causing me to yelp in pain and pass out.

“Ugh,” I groaned as I opened my eyes. Looking around, I noticed I was in a cell of familiar crystals, bound by the same goo that they covered me in before I fell unconscious. After a few moments staring at the crystals, I realized something important, ‘Those crystals, they are only found in one place, the crystal mines under canterlot…’ I thought with dread. I tried to move my legs to my neck so I could activate the enchantment on my necklace, but to no avail. After realizing that I was stuck here with no way to get out, I just sighed and said, “At least it can’t get any worse,” something that I would regret later on. Then I mentally facehoofed, ‘Duh! I can cast magic!’ I started to charge up a spell when I felt a shock pass through my body, forcing me to cancel my spell so it would stop the pain. ‘Or maybe not…’ Sighing, I decided to get some sleep, hoping that this was just a twisted dream.

I was walking around a ruined Canterlot, trying to find out what happened. A few minutes later, I came across the body of a white alicorn that I recognized as my foster mother. “NO!” I yelled as I ran to her side, crying into her coat.

“Sunny….” a voice said, causing me to look up.

“Who’s there?” I asked. Suddenly, a ghost like figure of a bearded pony with a wizard's hat appeared.

“Hello, Sunny,” the figure said.

“Who are you?!”

“Who I am… doesn’t matter right now. What you’re seeing right now is the future that awaits you, and only you have the power to stop it,” he told me as he waved a hoof at the scene around me.

“S-Stop what…?” I questioned, “What power?”

“You’ll know in time, for now, just rest.” The image started to fade as I realized that this was only a dream.

”Sunny?” a voice said, causing me to stir, ”Sunny, can you hear me?” As I started to wake, I looked around for the voice that caused me to wake up, when I found nothing, I started to drift back to sleep when I heard, “Sunny!”

“Hello…?” I asked, my mind still waking up, “Who’s there?”

“Sunny it’s me,” the familiar voice said, my eyes widening when I realized who it was.

“Mom?!” I asked, “How long was I gone for?”

“A few months,” this caused my eyes to widen even further, “I’ve been worried sick.”

‘A…. a few months?! That can’t be right, I could of sworn I was out for a few hours.’ I thought with dread, worried about how much worry I caused by disappearing. Taking a deep breath, I asked, “Do you think you can send a detachment of guards into the mines under canterlot? I recognized the crystals down here.”

“I’m sorry, the mines closed down years ago due to collapsed tunnels,” she informed me, “I can’t send any down.”

‘Great,” I thought before saying, “Well, then I’m stuck here until I’m found, then, as my body is restrained and there is something preventing me from using my magic.”

“Buck,” I heard her mutter before hearing something that sounded like struggling, “Gah! What are you doing?!” before the connection was severed.

“Mom?” I asked, getting no answer, “Mom? Can you hear me? Buck….” I cursed. I was started to struggle against my bindings in an attempt to get out, only to fail. Sighing in defeat, I was about to lose hope when I heard what sounded like voices. Yelling as loud as I could, I yelled “Help! I’m trapped!” As the voices stopped, I started to hear hoofsteps speeding towards me, revealing Twilight and another alicorn, this one was Pink with a blue heart-like cutie mark.

“Sunny!” Twilight exclaimed, “You’re ok!” After they managed to get into the cell, I was embraced by Twilight.

“Um, Twilight? Could the reunion wait until I’m free?” I asked, causing Twilight to blush in embarrassment.

“I guess you’re right,” she managed while she worked on getting me free, starting with taking a ring-like object off my horn.

“Um, Twilight, I’m thankful that you’re here and all, but I was told that the mines were closed down due to the dangerous environment, thus nopony could come down….”

“I didn’t come here on my own free will, I was forced down here by an imposter Cadence,” Twilight grumbled. Not even asking who Cadence is, I just waited until Twilight gotten the goo off of me, allowing to stretch my legs and wings. “We need to get out, something is happening in Canterlot,” I informed them. With Twilight taking lead, we started to try and find a way out of the mines, running into dead ends and collapsed tunnels every few minutes. Finally, after what seemed like hours, we finally came upon some wooden boards blocking the path with light pouring through the cracks. I started to pour magic into my horn, using it to try and move the boards out of the way, with no success.

“Come on, help me get the boards out of the way,” I said, not able to do it myself due to the lack of nutrition, leaving me too weak to do anything except for a simple telekinesis spell. Together, Twilight and who I assumed was the real Cadence, poured magic into their horns while I rested to catch my breath. After a few minutes, they got the last of the wooden board out of the way, allowing us back out into the outside world. Taking a look around, I noticed a barrier around Canterlot. “Come on!” I told Twilight and who I assumed was Candence. Taking lead, I started to gallop up the mountain, with Twilight and Cadence in tow, However, I tripped and fell about ten yards up, causing me to roll back down the mountain. I would have rolled all the way down if I wasn’t caught in a lavender aura, stopping me inches from the edge. Lifting me onto her back to rest, Twilight and Cadence continued to gallop up the mountain. After a few minutes of running, we made it to the entrance, where a guard ushered us in after seeing how weak I was. Dropping me off at a hospital, Twilight told me that she and Cadence was going to head up to the castle to stop something. Ten minutes passed as I started to drift into unconsciousness when I heard yelling, along with a changeling busting into the room I was in. Too weak to fight back, I was easy picking for the changeling. I didn’t even have the strength to move as he, I think, started to wrap me in some green goo, the same kind that they trapped me in when they first caught me a few months back. After the goo solidified, he lifted me up and started to carry me out. After a short trot up to the castle’s throne room, I first noticed Twilight along with the rest of my friends guarded by a few changeling. What I noticed next, however, angered me to the bone. Lying at the base of her throne with numerous gashes on her body was my foster mother. Though I completely lost it when I noticed there was a pool of blood forming around her body and staining her fur. With a yell, I felt energized, as if I had a limitless supply of energy and magic at my disposal before blacking out.

As I came back to the waking world, I felt a strange yet familiar presence around me. Opening my eyes, I noticed I was back in the hospital with my mom at my bed side, with her bandages barely visible against her white fur. She didn’t seem to notice I was awake. “Mom?” I called out, feeling drained.

“Yes, Sunny?” she asked with a obviously worried tone.

“W-what happened?” As she was about to answer, my friends came into the room.

“Hey, Sunny,” she stated simply, “Feeling better?” despite my drained state, I managed to nod.

“Hello, my faithful student,” my mother greeted. Turning back to me, she started to tell me what happened, with Twilight filling in on details she missed…

several weeks earlier…

When Twilight noticed Sunny, she had a hard time containing her rage. However, her expression turned to shock when a silver aura started to form around Sunny. With a yell, everypony in the room felt a wave of power never felt before, on par if not stronger than the princesses’ magic  combined! A few seconds later, after Twilight noticed Sunny’s eyes turned pure silver, the changeling and the goo containing her exploded outwards, freeing her from her gooey prison. With skill and power nopony seen before, she started to shoot blasts of magic at every changeling in the room. As the beam hit each one, they disintegrated immediately. Only half a minute had passed and almost every changeling were piles of ashes or retreating. Queen Chrysalis, however, wasn’t going to let a mere foal stop her. Noticing her charging, Sunny shot a blast of magic at Queen Chrysalis, blasting her back. During that time, Shining had made it to his wife-to-be and they connected their horns, causing a blast of magic to emit from their horns, blasting away the changelings into the badlands. However, that blast also threw Sunny into a nearby wall, knocking her out as the aura around her dissipated. Getting out of her shock, Twilight galloped over to Sunny, checking her for injuries, when she found none, she quickly moved over to her mentor, who was just waking up…

“Wait, I did that?! I asked doubtfully. After several nods, I decided to just lay down and just hope that this was only a dream. I will definitely be scratching my head the following week about what just happened.
