Chapter 1

The location is Canterlot.
The time is 6:53 A.M

“You are worthless, you are the reason your parent are dead.” The words echoed through her head. Kids around her age surrounded her, pointed at her and kept laughing.
“You should have gone away with your worthless parents when you had the chance-”

With that, a loud scream was heard in the Canterlot tower. It was from a filly. Her name is Twilight Sparkle.

SNIFF

The filly looked around with her teary eyes, her light panting echoed through the room.
”Another nightmare?” She muffled and got up with tired, and wet eyes.

”I got to stop those late night studies” Twilight Said with a puffy, cutesy voice to no one in particular. She looked around her surroundings which was as quiet as usual. It had always been this quiet as long as she could remember, she hated this silence.

She walked towards the bathroom, and levitated a toothbrush. She smothered some toothpaste on the toothbrush, and took her time to brush her teeth, which usually took about 2 minutes.

She took a moment to look at herself in the mirror, fixing her mane. She walked out of the lit bathroom and turned off it’s lights. She went to the refrigerator and looked for something good to eat. “Nothing...” She said with no strong emotions.

She sighed, and closed the refrigerator. On the table she witnessed a fruit bowl with apples and other kind of fruits. She wasted no time, and picked up an apple, and spent her time eating it.

As she teleported a saddle on her back. Twilight sighed. “Great... another day for school” She complained in a quiet voice. She did not look forward to school at all.

She opened the outdoor and walked out. She sighed and kept walking till’ she would end up in the in a school for gifted unicorns.

The trip wasn’t long. She would use about 10 minutes in average.Twilight was quite early, actually about an hour or so.

In the meantime, Twilight Sparkle would usually be in the school library to read anything that would come to her little mind, but this time she had no interest in such activity. Instead, Twilight had been thinking on something that she have been thinking about for a time now.

Will I ever get friends?
What if the ponies in my class are right? Maybe I am just a waste of air?
What is it like to have a family? To be tucked in every night, getting comforted when everything wasn’t as it should be.

As these thought ran through her head, she got this violent urge to cry. She used her left hoof to dry of her tears. “Darn it…” she spoke with her puffy voice.

As time went by, she tried to entertain herself. She created an image of a pony she could actually talk to. Maybe she wasn’t real? maybe it was just a magic trick, but that was just silly details for Twilight.

40 minutes of talking and laughing, she heard other ponies opening the doors downstairs. She made the mirage disappear, and peeked down the stairs. She panicked when she saw 2 familiar ponies. The ones who had been tormented her for as long as she could remember.

Crud! She thought to herself, and looked around for a place to hide. The two fillies walked up, discussing a topic. Twilight ran off to a room next to her

This isn’t good! She thought to herself. She looked around once more, and saw a door not far away. She rushed inside panting lightly. She ended up in a closet. It was narrow, dark, and even creepy, but everything was better than being with those two.

The fillies heard a door opening as they went upstairs
“Did you heard that, Pendant” She asked her friend, and winked.
Her friend chuckled, and went up to the closet door.

Every footstep was one moment closer for Twilight’s torture to begin. “Please don’t open the door... Please don’t open the door” She repeated as she shivered greatly. The door opened slowly. The crack of light spread at Twilight’s face, and right after, She saw a white coated filly, with light orange eyes.

“Oooo.... I am sorry, I couldn’t see you in there, not that anyone would want to” She laughed mockingly Twilight backed away into the closet half frightened. Pendant started to laugh again. “What’s the matter, freak? Scared?” She asked “Pendant looked at her friend: Amethyst. “Look at this Amethyst. She is scared.”

Twilight wanted to scream for help, but even if she could, she would think the matter would be even worse for than it already was. All she could do was stand there, wait for it to be all over.

With that, the teacher had arrived, witnessing the 3 fillies. She walked over to the area, and broke them apart. But instead of scolding the two bullies, she scolded Twilight
“Miss Twilight Sparkle! You know that you are not allowed to wander around randomly in the closet!” She shouted

“W-Wha- But I”
“I do not want to hear any excuses.” With that,she left the area, and unlocked the classroom door. The two fillies chuckled, and followed the teacher inside.

Twilight looked down, and slowly started to get teary. “Why is it always me?” she questioned no one in particular but herself. She stared at the ground, and walked in the classroom.

As time passed, the rest of the student gathered up in time.

“Okay class. We are going on a field trip today. We are going to the castle, and have a little visit.” The class cheered, except Twilight. She really had no reason to be happy.

The class arrived at the castle where a royal guard was showing them around. The throne room, explain how it is to be a royal guard, their duties. Everything.

As they ventured forward, they passed by a large wooden door.

“This is the old canterlot archives. It haven’t been used in centuries.” Twilightwas quite interested to see what was behind the large wooden door.

“Let’s get going class” The guard said to the as the kept going forward. Twilight walked towards the large wooden, door. “Huh? No handle?” She lit her horn, and struggled hard to get it open. Sweat, and exhaustion was heard, and eventually the door went open. She rushed inside, as the door shut behind her. Dust flew everywhere, blinded her for a few seconds, and caused her to cough repeatedly.

minutes after coughing, and trying to clear her vision, she could finally see. The room was filled with loose parchments, and scrolls throughout the area. It looked like a if someone didn’t even bother to clean it up. “What in the hay... This room is huge...” Twilight said as she walked around. She then saw a huge bookcase in the corner which was all covered in dust. She looked around and saw a parchment on top of the book shelf.

She glowed her horn and levitated down the parchment from the book shelf. She unwrapped it open with her magic, and she began to read the parchment

The parchment had unclear letters, but she was able to decipher what was said.

One way trip to an alternate dimension. Follow these steps to proceed.
Twilight smiled happily. She did not what she would witness, but she had already made up her mind. This place was a 1st class dump!

As she finished the steps, a gigantic green wormhole vacuumed her inside. and soon it dissapeared into thin air.

Twilight literally felt like she was going to be ripped into small pieces as she fast traveled trough the thin wormhole.

Chapter 2

Twilight had been travelling through the wormhole for what seemed like hours. All she could see was a few blurry unexplainable objects, and bizarre creatures, which seemed like it would be from a fantasy book or something. She could not think, she could barely breathe, and quickly she would pass out.

As she soon was to wake up from what seemed like a nightmare. Twilight finally opened her eyes. Again, her vision was blurry, and she had a hard time focusing what was going on. Though she was able to move her body parts, she would find it difficult to stand up.

With exception that she could barely see or even stand up, she felt no pain anymore, she was worn out, sure. But with what seemed like an eternity of travelling with nothing but blurry visions, and pain extending through her body, she was perfectly fine.

She soon quickly got recovered from her state. Slowly, but without doubt her vision had come to life. The first thing she saw was a solid wooden shelf with a bunch of books in all sorts colors. Twilight slowly moved her small hooves, and was able to carry herself to a standing position.

She looked around the area, only to see the same shelves and parchments from earlier.
Huh? Was this just a dream?

She kept walking around the area until she found no point in progressing any further.
She took a few steps towards the exit until something caught her attention.

Her eyes had widened, she was confused and took a few more steps forward. She now had looked at the same exact door where she entered. That big wooden door from earlier had... disappeared. Instead, there was no door at all. It was just an opening to this room, to this weird library looking... “Wait a minute.” Twilight said quite convinced.

Twilight took a few more steps out of the area. On the way out, she took great glance at the sign.
“Canterlot library?” She spoke rather shocked. “Wasn’t this the old Canterlot archives?” She questioned herself. She sighed, and didn’t really care for the details anymore.

This ‘trip’ kind of seemed pretty pointless. At least, that is what Twilight thought.

“Better find my stupid class before the teacher yells at me again.” She told herself and walked off.

As she walked throughout the castle, Twilight bumped into somepony familiar, well not to her anyway, but to the pony she bumped into. It was a white coated stallion with blue hair and cyan stripe across his mane.

“Hey!” Twilight fell down on her flank with a slight blush of embarrassment and stared up at the stallion. “watch where you are going!” She said quite rudely and stood up.

“Twily?” The stallion gave her a puzzled look at the little filly up close.

“Twily?” She questioned with slight annoyance.

“Who the hay is ‘Twily’? My name is Twilight Sparkle!”

“Sheesh. What’s gotten into you?” He asked quite confused. “I don’t know how you got so small all of a sudden, but don’t you remember me? It’s me, your brother. Shining Armor!”

Wait a minute... when did she get a brother, She didn’t even know she had a sibling. This was definitely quite mysterious to the little filly.

“C-can you say that one more time?” Her voice softened up, and looked at the stallion with delicate eyes.

“Huh? Well... I’m your brother? What’s gotten into you?” The stallion was rather confused, and kept staring at the little filly. “Did you perform some kind of spell or something that turned you back into a filly? I don’t even know we had those kind spells...”

The spell! It all made sense now. The spell she found did in fact work. in fact, it would seem like there is another filly, or mare named Twilight Sparkle.

Twilight smiled cheerfully at the stallion’s remark. She stared up and gave a tender smile before she started to speak.

“Look... Shining Armor was it? I really need to go back to...” She paused, hoping that he would catch what she was trying to hint.

“You are going back to ponyville I would assume?” Shining armor stared just as confused as he was earlier.

“Well, no matter. I should get back to work myself. Talk to you later Twilight.” He left the filly behind as he processed further.

A brother?

She was happy, excited and smiled herself silly. Maybe this was one step ahead to her dream? But even if he was her brother, she couldn’t accept it. It didn’t feel right to take someponies family away from them just like that. All she could do now was to find a way from Canterlot to ponyville.

She teleported a pouch of bit she used carry around.

“Let’s see..” She opened up the pouch, and emptied it’s content.

“10...12...15...20... 30... 32 bits. Only 32 bits?” She sighed quite disappointed.

It was barely enough to shop any groceries back where she was from. But, maybe she could actually use the bits for something afterall?

Twilight walked out of the castle. She looked at her surrounding. Much to her surprise, this city hadn’t changed at all. But, the atmosphere, now that was a different story.

“This place seem so... quiet, and soothing. And the ponies seem to be so friendly.”

This was the Canterlot Twilight wanted to see.

This was the Canterlot Twilight had dreamed of.

She seemed to be in paradise, she felt joy from every corner. Ponies smiling, ponies playing, laughing. beautiful couples of every age and size. And fillies her age playing together. No more would Twilight feel unsafe everywhere she walked.

Everypony she knew was either staring at her as an outcast, or she was ignored.

“No! Focus Twilight.” She shook her head repeatedly as she tried to convince herself away from the distractions.

“I need to get to this stupid train station.” She kept going toward the train station..

Small steps at the time. she advanced towards the train station. She used this opportunity to keep looking around her surroundings. From building to building, pony to pony and everything else this filly could see from close, or a large distance.

Despite the fact how excited this filly was, she was also desperate. She was desperate to find her alternate self, and see the difference between herself and Twilight sparkle from this universe.

Now she had made up her mind. She ran and ran until she arrived to the train station. She looked at the schedule for each train. Her train was just about to arrive. Luck was on her side today. Just a brief minute later, a train with a bunch of carts stopped in the station. Twilight smiled, and began to walk towards the train.

The train to Ponville has arrived. Please mind the gap.

Twilight took one step inside the train, and then another one. She have never been on train before, she had no idea if this would be scary, fun, boring, exciting. But one thing for sure, she was definitely nervous.

Finally, she took her seat about 6 rows from the exit, and sat on the left side of the train near the window.

3 Minutes until departure. I repeat. 3 minutes until departure.

Twilight looked out the window the entire time, she had been thinking if this really was worth it.

Maybe Twilight Sparkle from this universe is a jerk?

Maybe she won’t not accept my visit?

Maybe she would be like the rest? Scold me, punish me and hate me?

Is it really worth it?

She could feel one tear form in her eye socket and let it roll off of her just from the thought of denial.

She shook her head repeatedly, trying to convince herself that everything would be fine.

“Don’t be silly Twilight. How bad can it be?” She asked herself quite nervous.

Soon the train departed from the station. Twilight kept looking out of the window with a bored expression on her face. That was until the train got out of the tunnel. Now, Twilight saw something that actually amazed her. A beautiful view of Canterlot was seen. Twilight kept staring in amazement.

“Miss. Can I see your ticket, please?” A stallion tried to get Twilight’s attention. “Miss?”

Twilight didn’t budge. She kept staring out the window for the longest time.

The stallion poked her back. “Miss. Your ticket please!” With that, Twilight jumped, and hit her head

“Hey! What gives!” She rubs her head trying to relieve her pain.

“Your ticket, please. If you do not have one, you can buy a ticket from me for 25 bits.”

Twilight wasn’t really happy, but she did comply. She teleported her pouch of bits once more, and got out 25 bits.

“12... 14... 16... 18... 21... 23... here. 25 bits.” She gave the stallion his money, and received a ticket in return.

She levitated her ticket up, and made it disappear from her grasp. She leaned her head on the window and yawned. Her eyelids was heavy, and soon she closed her eyes from exhaustion.

45 Minutes of good sleep, she woke up, and found herself in the area around ponyville. In fact, she could see the platform from here.

The train will arrive in 3 minutes. Please make sure you got your belongings.

Twilight stood up from her seat, and stood near by the exit. She stood there for about a minute before the train slowed down and eventually stopped near the platform. The door opened up, and Twilight was the first one to get off the train.

“Now to find Twilight Sparkle. or my alternate self.” She mumbled, and ventured forward. Her first stop was sugarcube corner.

“I guess I better ask around...”

The filly opened the door with her lit horn, and walked inside. “Hello? Is anypony here?” She spoke out loud, trying to get anyponies attention.

“Coooming!” A loud pitched voice spoke from upstairs. A pink mare with a curly mane and tail hopped down the stairs happily.

“How can I help you?” She spoke on her way up to the little filly.

“Err... I was wondering if you have seen a pony named-”.

“Twilight!” She hugged the filly tightly and happily.

“I.. C-cant breathe...” She spoke in a tiny cracked up voice.

“Oopsie!” She released her grip.

“Now, how can your bestest best of bestest friend help you!” She blinked repeatedly, and smiled happily

Huh? Friend? This must be one of alternate Twilight’s friend I will suppose?

“Well...”

“And how did you get so small all of a sudden?” She fell on her back and laughed herself silly

“You are like a little filly!”

“Listen, I” Twilight got interrupted once again.

“Hey! I know. We can go and play hide n’ seek! You hide, and I will count to 20!”

“Hey! Listen to me. I-” The pink pony interrupted her once more

“Ooo! Before we start, you MUST try my new cake recipe. I call it... The Pinkie Pie cake bomb. I tasted it, and it was the most yummiest yummy yum cake I have ever made!”

“HEY! LISTEN TO ME!” She yelled out loudly, and angry.

She finally got Pinkie Pie’s attention, and was not able to speak.

“Yeees Twilight?”

I can’t believe this is supposed to be my friend...

“Listen. My name is Twilight Sparkle.”

“Well, duh! Of course. I have known you for a long time already-” This time, Twilight interrupted her

“Allow me to finish!” Twilight cleared her throat before she started to speak once again.

“The Twilight Sparkle you know is not me! I am from an alternate universe.”

The pink pony fell on her back, and laughed herself silly yet again.

“An alternate universe?” She laughed once more before she continued.

“You are such a crack up, Twilight!”

Twilight groaned in annoyance, and didn’t bother anymore with this Pink pony.

She walked out of the Sugarcube Corner

“Better find somepony else which is not as goofy as that nuthead..”

Even though she didn’t get what she wanted, she at least got one thing cleared up: Twilight Sparkle was quite close. Perhaps even closer than she realized

Chapter 3

Twilight had just gotten out of the Sugarcube corner. That pink mare did more than enough to waste her time, but somehow, Twilight wasn’t sad anymore. Instead, her once sad expression started to light up. First, she started smile like an idiot which then would cause her to laugh. Needless to say, she was quite friendly nonetheless

Twilight kept wandering off to pretty much nowhere in particular. But, she found it quite enjoyable by just looking around and see the fascinating view of Ponyville. This town seemed kind off odd for her taste, but she liked it quite a lot. It was lively, colorful and not to mention friendly.

“Wow! this place looks amazing!” Twilight exclaimed happily.

Perhaps this ‘meeting’ could wait for now. Alternate Twilight Sparkle had no knowledge about this filly anyway, right?

As she walked throughout the city, a visible Rainbow trail high up above could be seen. Soon it came closer, then even closer and finally.

“WATCH OUT!” The pegasus' yell faded in as it came closer and closer.

Twilight looked above, and soon saw the Pegasus about crash into her. She wanted to run, but her stiff legs was locked in place. Instead, she screamed at the top of her lungs with her irises folded up into a tiny dot

The pegasus saw the filly right below her. As she was about to crash, all she could do was to try and reduce the speed in mid-air. She did manage to slow down. However in blink of an eye, it was done. The pegasus crashed right into the filly.

All Twilight could see was a blurry vision of the cyan coated pony with rainbow mane and tail before she had passed out

The rainbow maned pegasus rubbed her head in slight pain, but she was fine otherwise. As she was going to check on the filly, she was already on ground unconcious

Celestia's sun hung lazily up above. Twilight had found herself in a quite familiar place. A place she never had forgotten. Twilight wandered around for some time, until she saw some ponies. One very young filly, and two older ponies. Obviously her parents. But something about that filly caught her attentiion.

Her purple coat, her dark blue mane with the purple stripes. It was her and her parents. Twilight didn't flinch for a second, but she progressed further.

As soon as she had gotten closer to the 3 ponies, she had taken notice that not only was it her parents. This was all in the past.

She was just behind the three ponies. As she was about the tap her father on the shoulder. The 3 ponies began to fade away.

The theme changed to a city. Obviously Canterlot. She looked around, and saw her father sprinting into an alleyway, quite panicked.

"Daddy?" She spoke with a soft tone, and ran after him as fast as she could.

BANG

The loud bang was heard in every direction possible. Surprisingly, nopony in town did mind.

They kept going with their normal activities, eat, drink, talk, laugh and so on.

On her way, she saw her younger self yet again running up to her father in tears.

"Daddy! Daddy!" She looked around, but nopony was in sight,

“C-can’t anypony help us!! My daddy has been shot!!” She screamed with the top of her lungs.

Nothing. Not even a yes, or a no. There was no use.

The stallion didn't move. Not even a final word was heard from him. He just laid there lifeless in his own puddle of blood, with his own daughter crying on top of his chest

Twilight saw herself crying on her father’s body. She even felt her own tear gushing out of her eyes. She rubbed her wet eyes, in order to stop the tears from flowing out of her eyes, but it was no use. The tears kept going.

She soon snapped out of her emotional state when she found herself in yet another location. It was a classroom, which contained about 25 foals, that was chatting and laughing and make as much noise as possible.. Inside came an orange coated mare, with another filly behind her. She seemed to be shy, nervous and scared at the same time.

“Why don’t you introduce yourself?” The teacher asked her reassuring.

The filly stepped forward, and looked over at the students. “Uhm, hello?” she said with a rather timid voice.

“My name is Twilight Sparkle. I am 6 years old, and I live with my sick mother.”

As soon as she mentioned her name, the kids whispered to each other. Most likely talking behind her back. Even the teacher looked at her weird. Twilight seemed to be unaware of the situation.

“Yes, now please take a seat” The teacher said in a less gentle tone. In fact, it sounded a bit harsh.

The Twilight who was watching herself introduction now found herself in yet another area.

By now, it seemed to get way too repetitive. She now found herself in her own place in Canterlot. As she glanced around her home, or what seemed to be her home, right befor- Anyway. As she observed the glimpse of the bland looking wall, and the wooden pantry door, the door handles started to turn, with help of a purple glowing aura. Inside came the filly, all wet, her mane in a mess and muttering up some nonsense. “I’m home...” She yelled inside the empty house. She patiently stood still, knowing that she was going to get welcomed by her mother. Well, she used to do that anyway.

Her voice loudly echoed through the house but no reply.

“Hello?!” She yelled throughout the house and walked to the living room, where her mother used to be.

“Mom?” She cried out, but to her surprise, there was nothing. Not even a single being beside herself and a note on the table. Wait, a note?

Twilight walked to the note calmly, winessing the white piece of paper. It was obviously her mother’s hoof writing.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________

Dear Twilight Sparkle. When you are reading this, you will probably notice I am not home and that is because... well. you are still young Twilight, but you deserve to know. I went to the doctor today and they told me that I do not have not much time left. It must be very hard for you, sweetie. But I know you will make it. You are responsible, smart and the greatest daughter a mother could wish for. I love you, and that will not change. Good luck, my dear.

Love. You mom

_________________________________________________________________________________________________

Twilight dropped the note that was within her grasp. Her eyes watered. Her hooves that carried her failed and soon she began to collapse on the floor. She was alone. No friends, no family and nopony to take care of her now.

Twilight walked towards her past self, extended her hoof, only to notice it passed right through her.

“Twilight!” A voice came out of nowhere. Where did it come from?

“Twilight...” It called out again.

“please wake up!” The voice had a sound of a restless behaviour.

Twilight eyes shot open as she heard her name the second time. A cyan color blur appears in front of her. Soon her eyes began to materialize, only to see a cyan coated pegasus in front of her. she had a tail and mane like a rainbow. She had deep pink eyes and her face began to light up.

Twilight laid there for the longest time. Around her was a grassy field and not even a single cloud up in the air. Tears had welled up in her eyes To her surprise, someone did care for her after all. she didn’t care if she didn’t know her. That... sequence made her happy to see that at least somepony cared for her.

“Woah there” The pegasus called out as the tiny hooves wrapped around her. “What’s gotten into you?” She asked in a deep confusion.

“Thank you!” She exclaimed in happiness.

“Thank y-” Rainbow Dash stopped and just went along. “It’s alright.” She said with a lit up smile. “Care to tell me why you are suddenly a filly? Did you perform a spell that backfired you or something?”

Twilight’s only conclusion was that they are originally friends. Well with the adult Twilight anyway.

“Well... It’s complicated.” She started. How was she supposed explain this anyway? It worked REALLY well with the overhyped pink mare, didn’t it?

For now, she decided to go along with it.

“Yes... A spell backfired me alright...” She said with a sigh. “I need to go home... and... fix it. Could you perhaps keep me company?” The little filly gave a nervous smile, hoping that she would agree to assist her.

“I’m sorry, kid.” Rainbow found that quite cheesy to say that to her best friend.

“I have some important... weather jobs to attend to.” She spoke in an obvious lie

“But the sky is crystal clear...” She blinked three times observing her nervous look.

“Alright! listen.” Rainbow Dash hovered up in the air. “I promised Pinkie Pie to help her with something. I can’t really tell. I am sorry. So err... cya!” With that she rushed off faster than you could say ‘cheese’

Twilight sighed and carried her tiny hooves.

“That went well...”

Chapter 4

As she looked at the cyan pegasus fly away that would soon disappear in a dot of the same color, Twilight gave a sigh of disappointment. She ventured forward to whoever next she was supposed to meet. However, walking was a bit harder than she would imagine. She didn’t seem to be recovered yet from the crash.

Twilight didn’t stall any further though. She wanted to see Twilight, well her older self as soon as possible. She pushed herself up from the ground. It was easier than expected, but that didn’t stop the headache.

“Ugh...” She whined as she placed the hoof on her forehead, with hope of relief to make the pain go away.

Her mane was in a critical mess, her coat was dusty. Very dusty not to say the least. At least something was clarified for this filly. She was welcome here. No longer an outcast, no longer the same routine everyday. As she pondered on this, she eventually shot up a smile and chuckled.

Soon the pain was about to diminish, but there was still a sign of headache. On top of that, Twilight was getting hungry. Of course she didn’t have any bits left. Train rides are expensive.

The search had to wait for now. She needs food if she would like to continue. She didn’t know how and she didn’t know when. She carried herself on her hooves with the little strength she left, and collapsed on the floor.

“I-I can’t continue anymore.” She whimpered.

“Twi?” A southern accented voice came out of nowehere. Well, she didn’t expect it anyway because her eyes seemed to be closer.

She opened her eyes and saw a a orange coated earth pony with a scent of apples.

“Ah’ ya ah’right, sugarcube?” She said anxiously. Twilight didn’t say much though. She laid on the grass, obviously, she haven’t left the field just yet.

“So... hungry...” She whined like the child she was.

Applejack simply gave a laugh of her silliness. “Twilight. There s’ plenty of grass right here.”

Twilight looked at her annoyed. “Grass? I don’t want stupid grass!” She complained.

Applejack lowered her eye brows and gave a chuckle. “Ah’right, Twi. Come with me. Ah’ see is we can get you some food.” The mare insisted and carried the filly on her back.

Obviously this was another one of her alternate self’s friends. Well, since she insisted on feeding her... hospitalize her, she might as well get comfy while she is at it. While she was on the mare’s back, Twilight closed her eyes, repeating the word ‘food’ over and over again just low enough to not irritate the mare with the repetitiveness of quoting the same word.

After about sleeping for about 3 minutes, they had reached a farm. A farm with many, many apples. thousands of tree’s and millions of apples. Twilight felt like she was in heaven. She wasn’t too fond of apples, but she liked them nonetheless.

“We’re here, Twi. You can get o-” Before she managed to say anything else, the child was already running towards the barn, with her childish, jumping manner. Applejack sighed at this point. Not even her sister would be this excited.

“Wait up, Twi” the mare yelled, trying to get her attention.

She started to sprint after her. Agile or not, that filly was quick, even managed to outrun a farm pony.

The farm pony picked up her pace and ran even faster, exceeding far beyond her limit. She did manage to catch up with her. She grabbed the filly with her teeth

“Fv-old -vown v-elly.” She muttered with a mouthful, which caused the filly to calm down. The mare let her down and sighed. “No need t’ be hasty, Twi. Before we go inside, we need t’ get over a few things.” She paused for a moment. “Why are you a filly again?”

Twilight sighed. Of course she was expecting this question. “I am a filly because I am not from this dimension!” She replied with only a slight annoyance.”I am trying to find my alternate self!”

Applejack didn’t say anything and nodded. “Ah’right, Twi. you go inside the barn and just take the last piece of apple pie on the table. It should be enough fer’ now.” She looked back “Ah’ need t’ go and see Pinkie Pie fer’ something” With that she left.

Twilight looked towards the barn and walked forward with her tiny legs. She didn’t care why she had to leave, she only wanted her food and continue her search. She walked inside the barn and saw the last piece of the delicious apple pie on the table. She licked around her underlips and walked against it.

She levitated the piece of pie towards her. Just the crust itself managed to to hypnotize Twilight with it’s delicious mix of sweet, sour in a perfect mixture. It was the best thing she had ever taster in her life. She spent about 3 minutes with enjoying the best meal she ever tasted

She took one step towards the opening, until she heard a laugheter above her. Laughter of joy. Laughter of a young filly just like herself. Then another one, followed by the previous one, finally a third one. all three came from upstairs. She looked towards the door opening, but could not find the will to continue. She was curious.

She decided to go upstairs and find the source of the laughter she heard earlier. She saw an opening, with light shining out of the opening. She decided to walk closer and peek through. She saw 3 fillies at her age playing a board game. They didn’t look mean. For a moment she decided she wanted to go inside, but the thought was cancelled thinking about what they could do.

“I should just go.” She said pretty emotionless. She left to the stair case. As clumsy as she was, she managed to trip all the way down, leaving noises all throughout the house.

“What was that?” One of the voices said.

“Ah dunno” A southern accented voice exclaimed

“Think it is a burglar?” the third one said.

“In broad day light? No way?”

“Scootaloo is right, what if it is a burglar?”

Twilight panicked at this poimt and did her best attempt trying to get up on her hooves again. she could clearly hear the filly’s voices upstairs.

“CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS THIEF CATCHERS!” the three filly’s yelled at the top of their lungs, which caused Twilight block her ears with her hooves.

The upstair door shot open at the point and down came three filles. A yellow coated one with a red mane, a white coated with mane and tail with two colors of purple, and the third one which had a brown-orange-ish coat with purple mane and tail.

“Stop right there, thief! Nopony gets away on our wat-” the voice stopped and the trio stared at Twilight confused.

“What are ya’ll doing doing down on the ground, Twilight?” The yellow one asked

“Give it a rest, Apple Bloom She obviously fell down the staircase or something.”

“Hey, I just asked!” They argued.

“Girls, girls!” The third one yelled. which made them stop fighting/arguing or whatever they would be doing. She walked over to Twilight with a friendly smile on her face. “Are you alright?”

Twilight was shivering like crazy at this point. She was obviously frightened to get hurt or get a reenactment of her days in school. She didn’t even answer the filly.

“Why are you a foal all of a sudden?” She questioned her reached for her hoof.

Twilight stopped shivering. Twilight Sparkle was obviously a name renown around this town. She looked at the friendly filly and smiled lightly. She grabbed her hoof and helped herself up.

“I am a filly because I am not from this world. I am an alternate version of the mare you would know called ‘Twilight Sparkle’” Twilight explained.

“Altler-what now?” Apple Bloom questioned and tilted her head to the side. The two others stood there just as confused.

Twilight sighed. “I am from another universe. I travelled here with a spe-”

“WOAH!” Scootaloo shrieked. “So you are like a dimension traveller?” Her eyes was filled with excitement and looked at Twilight.

“No, I-” she got interrupted by Apple Bloom this time.

“Can you teach us! we can even find our selves!”

“And finally gain our cutie marks!” Sweetie Belle added.

“YAY! CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS DIMENSION TRAVELLERS!” The trio shrieked, causing Twilight to cover her ears once more.

“NO I am not a dimension traveller!” Twilight cried out.

“Aww...” The three fillies said and flopped their ears in disappointment

Twilight looked at them and explained the whole story of her life. Her sad life in Canterlot.

“Wow.... you must have had it really difficult” Sweetie Belle said with a tear running down her eye socket.

“Why did everypony hate you just hearing your name?” Scootaloo asked.

Twilight shrugged and looked at the three. “I don’t know. I did nothing wrong, at least I am not aware of it yet.” Twilight replied.

“Don’t worry, Twilight number 2, We will be your best friends forever!”

“Friends?” Twilight questioned in shock of the sudden report given by the southern accented filly.

“Yeah!” Sweetie Belle’s voice cracked. “Everypony deserves a chance!”

“Besides, we know how it is to be teased, maybe not as much as you had to go through, but we have an idea anyway.” Scootaloo added.

The three fillies gathered up in a meeting, most likely discussing about their newest friend. Apple Bloom walked toward her and smiled “Welcome to the Cutie mark crusaders!”

“Huh!” Twilight said shocked. Sweetie belle put a cape on her with their logo.

Twilight smiled and down came a single tear. A tear of happiness. “Thank you...” She said overjoyed.

“Now, if you wouldn’t mind, could you tell me where I can find Twilight?” Twilight looked at them, observing each of her friends.

“Twilight is not in Ponyville though” Apple Bloom answered. “She is on some sort of royal trip in Canterlot.”

“WHAT!” Twilight cried out. “You mean I have to wait? When will she be back?”

The three shrugged.

“You can stay at my place if you want to” Sweetie Belle offered. “We have more than enough room!” She seemed to be excited and somewhat desperate. “We are going to have so much fun. I think Rarity won’t mind at all.”

She did need a place to stay and since Twilight wasn’t home, she might as well take the offer.

“Alright.” she accepted. Sweetie Belle jumped around in joy and hugged her friend happily. “You two should come too!” Sweetie Belle offered her two friends.

Apple Bloom shook her head, so did Scootaloo.

“Ah’ have to stay home since Bic Mac’s birthday is tommorow. Applejack went to Sugarcube corner to get one of Pinkie's awesome cakes and treats.” Apple Bloom answered her friend.

“And I am going to spy- I mean I am going to... uh... practice my flying skills.” Scootaloo smiled nervously.

“Alrighty then. Just me and Twilight then!” She said slightly disappointed.

Applejack opened the door almost an hour later with a box on her back. “Apple Bloom, Ah’m home! time for your friends to leave.”

The girls was upstairs again and soon the door opened. Out came three fillies. Twilight, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo.

“Thanks for the food, Applejack! Best pie I ever tasted!” She walked down with Sweetie Belle to her right and Scootaloo to her left. Each of them ran outside the door “Thanks for the visit Applejack!” Both Sweetie belle and Scootaloo said.

Applejack looked really confused why exactly Twilight was with them. She’d expected her to leave as soon as she would have her stomach filled.

Twilight and Sweetie Belle soon parted ways with Scootaloo and was on their way to the bouique.

Twilight was happier than she would ever imagine. She smiled and laughed unintentionally. She now understood the word “Happiness”
