You're Pathetic.

A few years after we know it...

"Hello? Where am I? Who's there?" Twilight asked. A voice scoffed.

"Oh, calm down. You must have transported yourself here by accident. Stupid beginner unicorns. No talent."

The pony stepped into the light. She was orange with a gray and black mane. She also had a cutie mark with a speech bubble and the face of a pony who looked serious. A weird one, Twilight privately thought. She was a unicorn, and walked pridefully up to Twilight Sparkle. Suddenly, she gasped when she saw wings.

"Oh my gosh! A princess! I'm SO sorry! Oh my, are you okay? I-! Oh. It's just you."

Twilight recoiled. "Just me?"

"Well, I thought it was Celestia or something. But, it's just you."

Twilight bit her lip. "Oh. Am I not okay?" She probed.

"Oh no, your FINE! Just fine." She said sarcastically.

"What's you name? Twilight asked.

"Hay Flower. Everyone calls me Honest Hay, but you can't. That's a name for ponies with 'special status.' So, yeah."

Twilight gulped. "You tell the truth. Do you sugarcoat?"

"You wish."

Twilight closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She looked at Hay Flower.

"Why won't you let me call you Honest Hay? Why were you worried about an alicorn, but not me? What's wrong with me? Alicorn me? Please answer."

Hay Flower sighed. "Your asking for it, violet. But you want to know? I'll tell you."

"So your the princess of friendship? Cheesiest thing I've ever heard! Half this place hasn't heard of you. Your own mentor straight up said, 'you know, I don't think Tirek knows you even exist!' Your castle? Clashes horribly with Ponyville! You're an alicorn, yet you STILL can't get a taxi in Manehattan! Why are you such a jerk to Spike? HE IS LITERALLY YOUR SLAVE! Pinkie Pie is better at making friends then you! You nearly started a war with yaks. You've got it made, yet the next time we see you, your complaining about finding your place! Some of us don't even have a friend, or a home in Equestria! And you have the nerve to feel sorry for yourself? Ugh! And I don't know how you can stand it."

Twilight looked scared. "Stand what?" She asked tentatively.

"The fact that your friends will die without you!"

Twilight looked like the world was crashing around her. She paused.

"I'm the princess of friendship. I'm not immoral." She protested.

"Got any proof of that? (…) Didn't think so. Must be horrible to think about. If I were you, I'd fix it."

Twilight whispered. "How do I fix it?"

May Flower smiled. "I heard a rumor. You became an alicorn because you earned it. So un-earn it! Become the pony you once were, who hated friendship. Your wings will disappear, and your immorality with it."

Twilight stared. "How do I know this will work?"

"You don't. But isn't it worth a shot?" She asked.

"And if you were a unicorn, not a snotty princess, I might let you call me Honest Hay..."

Twilight imagined her friends. Then she imagined their possible... No.

"Thank you."

She teleported away.

"No problem." She laughed

Author's Note

Was Hay Flower a changeling? Or just a snotty pony? Was Twilight dreaming? Or was it real? Maybe Hay Flower is a figment of Twi's imagination. Or she accidentally teleported. Will Twilight's friends get her back to normal? Will I write a sequel? You decide! Leave your comments about what you think and if you want a sequel. Maybe I'll confirm stuff at some point...

Rescue

Twilight woke up.
Breathing heavily, she gazed around, trying to find the noise that had woken her up.
Knocking? She walked up to the door.
"We're not open, ha ha."

"Twily, you open the door right this instant. I'm coming in."

Twilight's ears perked up. She knew that voice! She opened the door.
"Shining Armor?"

"There you are!" He picked her up and hugged her. "Twilight, what's going on?"

"I- It's nothing. I'm fine."

"Twilight, we're worried about you." A country voice said.

"Applejack?" Twilight leaped out, to see all her friends standing outside.

"You're all okay! You're okay!" Twilight exclaimed.

"Yeah," Rainbow Dash said. "Why wouldn't we be?"

"Twilight, what's been going on with you lately?" Rarity asked.

Twilight shook her head, sighing. "Come in. Just... c'mon."

*******

"That's ridiculous!"

Twilight sighed. "I'm telling you Spike, that's what happened. Then I just teleported back."

Shining Armor shook his head. "Nopony would do that. We're going to get to the bottom of this,"

"How?"

"Didn't you say she was in your dream?" He smiled.

Twilight's eyes widened. "You mean-?"

Alright, it's time I make this awful story something worth reading. :rainbowdetermined2:

Luna

"I'm not sure what to say. It seems as though this pony does not exist in Equestria. However, you're certain the encounter was not but a dream as well?" Princess Luna continued carefully.

Twilight nodded. "I'm sure it was real."

Luna shook her head. "Then I am afraid I do not know, Twilight Sparkle. My best wishes that you find an answer, however."

"Thank you for your help, Princess Luna."

"Of course, Twilight." And she flew off.

Pinkie raised her hoof. "I know who might be able to help us!"

"And who might that be, Pinkie Pie?" Rarity asked, unsure.

"Lyra Heartstrings and Dr. Whooves!" Pinkie exclaimed.

"Um... Are you sure Pinkie." Fluttershy asked.

Pinkie nodded.

"It's worth a shot, I suppose." Twilight reasoned. "To Ponyville!"

Author's Note

Oh, you'd be surprised what i have planned for this ending. :pinkiecrazy:

Bronies

"Bronies."

"I'm sorry, what, Lyra?"

"Bronies. They're humans who like ponies such as us. From what your describing, that sounds exactly like the OC of David Carpen, a YouTuber. He doesn't like any alicorns, so I'd assume he's behind this."

Twilight shook her head. "Am I missing something, here?"

Pinkie smiled. "Lyra has excellent fourth-wall-breaking abilities. Just roll with it."

Lyra smiled. "Now come on, I know just who can help us! BON BON, I'M GOING TO HELP TWILIGHT WITH THE HUMANS THAT WATCH US!" She shouted.

Bon Bon shook her head. "Whatever you say, Lyra. Have fun."

Dr. Whooves soon explained to them that the 'brony' may have created a portal between dimensions, and that he could do the same. Lights swirled, blue streams flashing, as a rip sudd
What are you doing? Get away from me! Ow! Wai

You did it, Doctor! Attention! I am Twilight Sparkle, and I am speaking to the brownie who found a way into Equestria to torment me. I can't help the fact that I'm an alicorn princess. I became this way without knowing, and bullying me won't change me back into the unicorn I was. I'm sorry, but I'm the same Twilight I ever was. I just got an upgrade, like your computer thingys. I don't know what my wings did to make you dislike me, but please keep it to yourself. The heart is a turbulent place, and I know it may b

Okay, that's enough. Get out of here. I agree with you one hundred percent, but humans don't have the mind to swallow such a brutal demolition of the fourth-wall. Ahem.

Please don't hurt Twilight Sparkle's feelings. She's a better character. Also, does anyone have tape for the pour fourth wall?

Author's Note

I made up the name. If that is your actual name, I will change it. :twilightblush:

Can anyone find the 'Rainbow Dash Presents: Cupcakes' reference? :pinkiecrazy: :rainbowwild:

Wow, this story might just be the worst I've ever read. Why the heck did I try to save it?

The unknown chapter 2: Locked in a castle

"Why isn't it working? They've given up! What's going on? She said this would work!"

"Who?" Owlicous asked.

"Hay Flower!" Twilight exclaimed.

"But my wings, they're still here! And do is my immorality! I've got to get rid of them both! For my friends! My friends... I shouldn't be inside my room like this. But I have to. It's the only way... Oh... I wish my friends were here. They could brighten me up. At least I have you, Owlicous. Now if only Spike and everypony else could be here. If only..."

Owlicous hooted and nuzzled her. He flew away and brought back a picture of her friends. Twilight sighed.

"No. I can't. I just... Can't. I'm going to bed. Good night, Owlicous." She said as she got up.

Owlicous hooted in reply, and flew off. Twilight grabbed the picture as she climbed the stairs up to her room. She sat it down. And sighed, trying to keep tears from flowing. "Good night …my friends."

The unknown chapter: After Twilight's chat

"Leave me alone, I'm trying to study!" Then Twilight would slam the door.

"She says that every time!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed.

"I just don't know what's going on, y'all!" Applejack said, frustrated.

"The first time I thought she was just in a funk..." Fluttershy began.

"But this? This? I'm seriously worried about her now!" Rarity said worriedly.

"She wouldn't let me throw a party to cheer her up! She wouldn't even let me come in!"

"You sure she's doing fine, Spike?" Applejack asked.

Spike sighed. "So she says. But she's not herself. All she did was transport to her book quickly. And when she came back, she was like this! She won't even crack a smile!"

Pinkie Pie stopped. "No smile? ... We've got to help this mare! ASAP!" Pinkie Pie said determined.

Rainbow Dash nodded. "Then what are we standing around here for? Let's go!"

Everypony agreed, and they set off in their separate ways to find an answer.

The unknown chapter 3: Twilight's dream

Far away, Hay Flower watched as Twilight got into bed and quickly fell asleep. "Good night, Twilight. How about I provide some dreams JUST FOR YOU! I don't hear a no …"
With a wave of her horn, a wispy blue line of smoke traveled in through the castle and absorbed into Twilight's mind.

"Hello? Where am I?" Twilight was floating through a space like area. Everything was black.

"Twi-light … Help…" A voice said.

"Rainbow Dash? Where are you? Pinkie Pie?" Slowly, all her friends came into view. They looked very old.

"What happened to you all?"

Shining Armor was there. Then lighting struck. Twilight saw 7 graves. Then, her wings disappeared.

"NO! Hay Flower said it would work … But they're gone!"

"True-but I wasn't lying. Look. Your wings are gone."

Twilight turned to see Hay Flower there. "They were supposed to be gone BEFORE this happened!" Twilight Sparkle exclaimed.

Hay Flower shook her head. "Were they? Because I seem to recall telling you WHAT would happen, not WHEN."

"And now …" Twilight said. "I didn't get to spend anytime with them at all, because I was cooped up in this castle!"

Hay Flower mocked sympathy. "Aww …do you need a hug?"

Twilight pushed her away. "Not from you!" She snarled. "I'm finding mom and dad!"

Hay Flower stopped her. "If somepony as young as your friends died, do you really think your PARENTS made it?" She let it sink in.

Twilight slammed herself onto the floor and sobbed.

Hay Flower, however, smiled. "I've done what I needed to do." She whispered. "Sweet dreams, princess. Sweet dreams." She flashed away, leaving Twilight sobbing, when she realized she was completely alone.
