Hope,Determination and Kindness
Chapter 14-Comma again?
Previous ChapterNext ChapterShe watched Apple Bloom walk off, muttering under her breath before a yellow orb appeared before her. Apple Bloom didn't seem to notice and before she could warn her, her friend touched the orb and disappeared. She sighed and shook her head slowly, life down here was crazy.
She turned to her other friend. Scootaloo had an expression of boredom on her face.
"You can go, if you want..."
"Are you sure? What about you?" Scootaloo was clearly inching away as she spoke waiting for Sweetie Belle to assure her again.
"Yeah, I'm sure, but before you go..." Sweetie levitated one 3rd of the bits out of the pouch, 115 bits to be exact. "Bye, I guess..." There we go, Scootaloo jumped up and was gone within 5 seconds. She sighed. What would she do now? She looked around her and realised how much beauty she had missed by being unconscious. She'd just have to catch up and what better place but the beginning? She quickly made her way the beginning of the town, the humble sign indicating the place was familiar but why? How? She had never seen it before.
The next place she went to was a shop. She had brought bits in her box after all. Her magic box. Twilight had taught her a basic box and she couldn't carry anything heavier than 10 books in it without completely tiring herself out. It worked on the basis of teleporting objects into it, carrying them in something like a small pocket dimension or something like that... She called it her box though seeing as that's what she imagined for it to work properly.
She walked in, a small bell dinging as the door opened. She loved those little bells, it reminded her of home...
"Hello? Is there anyone there?" A bunny, the innkeeper perhaps, looked around the shop. The counter was a bit high.
"I'm here!" She waved her hoof getting the owners attention.
"Oh, hello, my sister was just telling me about you. The pony that was unconscious from the cold? Your friends came here earlier today. Are you alright now though, young one?"
"Yeah... that's me... I came here to look around, is there anything... interesting?"
"There are plenty interesting things here, what are you looking for in the particular?"The owner laughed. Sweetie blushed. What was she looking for? Suddenly there was a large bang from her right. The owner and she jumped.
As she walked cautiously to the source of the mini explosion, a small kitten scuttled out from between the boxes in the shop. It tried for the door but she managed to block it's escape by shifting one of the boxes. The owner came around the counter and picked it up.
"I'm sorry Bonnie, I didn't mean to but I got stuck there earlier and..." The voice was male. It also sounded young, around 5 or other.
"It's okay, shh, where's your sister?"
"Amy? She's been acting all suspicious. So... I have no clue."
"I could look after him, you know to take him away from possibly damaging things in this shop..." She looked at the kitten closely, looking at it. It was a deep crimson with black stripes, it looked like a small, differently coloured tiger.
"Are you sure? He is a lot of work..."
"You have a shop to run, besides, I think I have a sneaking suspicion on where his sister is."
"Oh, that's wonderful!" Bonnie passed him to her. He looked at her with an annoyed expression, deeply upset with being babysat by a pony.
She leaned over and whispered into his ear,"Don't worry, you'll have fun with me." He brighted up a tiny bit and as she turned he followed her. While she was leaving she spotted a lonely violin in the corner of the room, it looked familiar... as if she had seen it before... She stopped and faced Bonnie again.
"Where did you get that from?"
"Oh, that silly thing, someone brought it along. I have no clue who they were though, they were wearing a hood at the time."
"How much is it?" She had been entranced by it and felt attached to it.
"Well, normally it would be 100 bits but seeing as you're helping me out... how about 50?" Sweetie nodded and brought the 50 bits forth with her magic. Bonnie looked shocked. "You're a blue magic user? Or perhaps a Yellow?"
"Huh, what do you mean?" She paused, the violin half way towards her.
"Oh, nothing, by you're confusion it is clear you are not one to work in that system. It's just Blue and Yellow magic users can teleport and levitate all objects. Never mind, now excuse me, I have things to attend to." Bonnie hurried off.
"Well it's just you and me... uhh... What's your name?"
"Oh, right, well my name is Da-Star, yep, definitely,Star."
"Alright Star, let's go find Scootaloo and Apple Bloom." They set off once more, a violin levitating in her magical aura.
She found Scootaloo laughing at one of Sans' puns. He smiled as he noticed her approaching bringing Scootaloos attention to her. Scoots smiled and then frowned when she noticed Star. When Sans noticed Star his expression turned stern.
"your sister told you not to come here, didn't she? does she even know you're here?"
"Y-yes, s-she does but she just kinda disappeared."
"Anyway, have you seen Apple Bloom?" Sans' head turned in her direction.
"what do you mean kid?"
"Well, she said earlier she had to talk to someone and..."
"I kinda assumed it was you, seeing as you did save her life." Sans, Scootaloo and Star looked at her shocked. "What? It's kinda obvious, I mean, someone who uses blue magic and uses bones as an attack? Obviously Sans."
"how do you...?"
"Bonnie told her." Star looked at Sans as if a new light had been shed on his character.
"That still doesn't answer where Apple Bloom is though..." Scootaloo stomped her foot in the snow.
"Ah'm here!" Apple Bloom said from behind her, she seemed out of breathe. Sweetie turned, the violin revolving once in her magic aura. Then two things happened at once. Sans noticed the violin and froze. At the same moment Apple Bloom noticed Star and screamed in frustration."Not another one! Oh my Celestia, help me!" Apple Bloom then noticed the violin and froze. "Where did ya get that?"
"The shop... why?"She approached Apple Bloom cautiously.
"Because, it looks like my ma's violin... exactly like my ma's violin. Pass it here." Sweetie hastily floated the violin down to her friend, dropping it in her hooves. Apple Bloom quickly looked at the back and gasped, dropping the instrument on snow.
"What is it?" Scoots asked, approaching the violin. Sweetie looked at it and gasped. The back had an engraving on the back. The engraving was of an apple surrounded by 3 blossoms. It was signed... ACharm...
Author's Note
Dun Dun Dun...
What now? There's another cat, a brother to mysterious cat who according to him is called Amy. I know for sure as the author that that's sadly only a nickname he calls her but you might as well call her that for now. Hmm... I wonder if you know now or not... well, we'll just have to see, won't we?
Oh and what about that Violin? It belonged to ACharm... mother of Apple Bloom, AJ and Big Mac, how did it get down here and who brought it to the shop?
