Chapter Two, Making New Friends

Princess Luna and Bubblegum were walking down the castle hall way.

"You know that if you tell any pony about this, that you whole life is in danger! especially from ponies you don't know, right?" Said princess Luna in worry.

"I won't let you down." Says Bubblegum.

"You should probably get some rest, we've got a busy day tomorrow." Says Princess Luna as she heads to her bedroom.

"Busy day tomorrow, what are we doing?" said Bubblegum.

"You'll see."

Princess Luna leads Bubblegum to her bedroom.

"By the way, what's your name?" asks Luna.

"Oh, my name is Bubblegum."

"Well, I will address you as, Princess Bubblegum." Says Luna as she walks down the hall way to her bedroom.

Princess Bubblegum goes to take a look around her bedroom, to get used to things. She went to sleep in the bed. Once she went to sleep, a mysterious shadow passed through the bedroom. It pulled back the covers and saw she was an alicorn. "gasp." The mysterious shadow was a male alicorn possessive over magic. But it waited a little bit to steal Princess Bubblegum's magic so her magic could get stronger.

It's now morning and Princess Bubblegum gets out of bed. she is going to get ready for the day in the bathroom. "Hmm, no fingers. How will i brush my teeth and my hair!" Bubblegum looks at her head. "Right, I have magic. But, how do I use it?" As Princess Bubblegum Tries to use her horn, The Shadow Alicorn comes in and goes into her horn to make it stronger. As Bubblegum tries to pick up the tooth brush, she accidentally turns it into a dragon. "AH!" Princess Bubblegum jumps back. Luna barges in.

"Princess Bubblegum. Have you finished getting dressed for the day?" Luna says as the dragon starts crawling towards her.

"Sorry, I'm trying to get used to my new powers." Says Princess Bubblegum.

"Its OK. I know your from the human realm, so we will practice your magic." Says Luna.

As they start to practice her magic, Princess Bubblegum's magic kept changing in a way that made it impossible to practice.

"Bubblegum, focus." Says Luna as she is starting to yell.

"I am focusing, but its really hard to focus when we're yelling." screams Bubblegum.

"Oh, Sorry. I was banished to the moon for a long time and I always yelled for help." Says Luna as she is getting depressed.

"It's OK. I didn't mean to get you nervous." Said Bubblegum.

"No, I'm sorry for getting you nervous." says Luna as she starts to cheer up. "Now back to practicing."

Princess Bubblegum and Princess Luna start practicing in hitting targets, holding something, and many other things. Then, things started getting harder. Age spells, Time Travel spells, and lots of other things. When the day was almost over, Princess Bubblegum got some sleep. The next morning, Princess Luna decided that it was time for Princess Bubblegum To make some friends, so she sent Bubblegum to Ponyville. But before sending her off to Ponyville, she gave Bubblegum a cape to hide her wings. Princess Luna let Bubblegum ride in a carriage just like Twilight Sparkle. Before Luna let Bubblegum Go, she told her that she was now her student. Bubblegum was confused so Princess Luna told her what it meant.

"Wow. So, I have to make friends and report to you when something happens?" Says Bubblegum in shock.

"Yes. But you cannot tell your new friends that your an alicorn. OK?" Says Luna.

"OK. I understand."

After that, Bubblegum got in the carriage to go to Ponyville. While she was up in the air, she was looking at everything around her. Then, they came to an complete stop.

"Why did we stop?" Says Bubblegum as she turns around.

"Oh, sorry. I was just taking my morning flight." Says a black and purple stallion.

Bubblegum fell in love with this stallion and she didn't know what to do. She had never fell in love before.

"It's OK. So, what's your name?" says Bubblegum nervously.

"Oh my name is Fire Hoof, but, I wanna know you name."

"My name? You wanna know my name? My name is Bubblegum." says Bubblegum as she embarrassed herself.

"What a lovely name. Anyways, I'm gonna go. See ya later." Fire Hoof says as he flies away.

Bubblegum starred at him until she couldn't see him anymore. Then, they landed. Bubblegum got out to start looking for new friends and bumped into a pony.

"Ow. Oh, sorry. I didn't see you there. My name's Bubblegum. What's your name?" asks Bubblegum politely.

"My name is Vinyl Scratch. Nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you to. Wanna be friends?" :pinkiehappy:

"Sure. You have to meet Octavia, she's the best."

"Can't wait."

Chapter Four, Secrets Safe With Me

Vinyl Scratch was excited to be an alicorn and be royal, while Octavia was still wondering how she did that.

"Hey Octavia, watch this." says Vinyl Scratch as she flies in the air.

"We have to fix this. So don't get used to being an alicorn for long." Says Octavia as she turns to Vinyl.

Bubblegum was running away so that they wouldn't see her and try to follow. She was depressed because of what happened, so she hid in an ally and fell asleep. When she woke up, there was a white unicorn in front of her.

"GAH! Who are you?" Bubblegum screams.

"Oh why hello darling. I'm Rarity. I saw you were in this ally and I decided to come see if you were all right?"

"Yeah, I'm Fine."

"Well, whatever are you wearing? It's absolutely dreadful." Says Rarity as she looks at the cape. "By the way, what's your name?"

"Oh, my name is Bubblegum."

"Nice to meet you Bubblegum. Let's go to my place so I can get into better clothes."

So Rarity and Bubblegum go to the carousel boutique. Bubblegum was worried that Rarity would find out her secret. Once they got to the boutique, Rarity immediately got to work on Bubblegum's outfit.

"So I'm thinking since your pink and blue, that i should go with something dark blue. Like a starry night. What do you think?" Says Rarity as she get's out the material's.

"Sure I guess."

Bubblegum's wings started getting cramped up behind the cape. Then, her wings spread out of her cape and her mane started flowing, her eyes were white, and she started floating and glowing.

"So Bubblegum dear, how about some stars on the dress." Rarity then turns around and sees Bubblegum is an alicorn! "GASP! your an alicorn? How can this be?"

Bubblegum falls to the ground and everything turned normal. Rarity couldn't believe that Bubblegum is an alicorn.

"Are you OK Bubblegum? You were floating."

"Ow... I got a cut from a nail sticking up out of the ground."

"Oh, I knew I should've got that taking care of."

"Listen Rarity, I can't let anyone find out I'm and alicorn, so can you keep this whole thing a secret."

"Yes. Your secrets safe with me."

Chapter Five, Shadows In The Day

As Rarity Bubblegum Struggle to get along, Bubblegum is trying to think of a cover up answer for how she got to Ponyville if Rarity asks any questions.

"So darling, how did you become a princess?"

Bubblegum is trying to think of what to say and starts stressing out.

"its OK if you don't want to say anything. I understand." Rarity says as she holds Bubblegum's back.

So as that moment happens, a pony knocks on the door.

"Hello? Is any pony home?" The mysterious voice asks.

"Who could that be? Well whoever it is, you should get your cape." Says Rarity as she goes to the door. "Oh hello, sir. Welcome to the carousel boutique. Where everything is chic, unique, and magnifique. How may I help you?"

"I wanted to know if there was a, hot pink and neon blue mare here by any chance?" Says the mysterious voice as Bubblegum hides.

"Um, nope. Haven't seen a pony who is hot pink and neon blue." Says Rarity as she smiles.

"Well, OK then. I will look someplace else." Says the mysterious voice as he casts a spell that would go find Bubblegum.

Rarity shuts the door and goes to find Bubblegum.

"Who was that?" Says Rarity as she starts freaking out.

"I don't know but we need to stay calm." Says Bubblegum as she sees something flying in the air. "Rarity, there's something floating in the air. Like some kind of gas."

"Oh my Celestia! That pony was trying to put a spell on you!"

"A WHAT!"

"We need to get out of here fast!"

Bubblegum and Rarity go outside of the boutique to escape and spell follows them. The spell went faster and caught up to them. It went inside Bubblegum's mouth.

"RARITY I CAN'T BREATHE!"

"I know who to take you to."

Bubblegum faints and Rarity picks her up with her horn and takes her to the place she was talking about. When Bubblegum wakes up, she looks around and sees a bunch of crystal purple and pink stuff.

"What happened? Am I still alive?" Bubblegum hears Rarity talking to another pony. It sounding like she was saying stuff about Bubblegum.

"So she's an alicorn?!" Said the pony Rarity was talking to.

"Yes. She didn't tell me how she became an alicorn, but she did get really nervous when I asked her." Says rarity with a confused look on her face.

"Maybe I should go talk to her."

The pony walks into the room. It was a purple pony and blur violet hair.

"So, Your an alicorn! This is so unique! I could write a whole journal, or maybe even a book about you!"

"Twilight take it easy on her."

Bubblegum finally heard the the purple pony's name, Twilight.

"Sorry. I'm just, so excited. So how did you become an alicorn? Were you born one?" Says Twilight as she gets a little too close to her face.

"Um, I was born an alicorn. I guess..."

"That's, so, COOL! Can I write a paragraph, or something about you?" Says Twilight as she grabs a pen and paper. "Wait, what's your name?"

"Oh, my name is, Princess Bubblegum... Yeah, Princess Bubblegum."

"My name is Twilight Sparkle. Nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you too."

Chapter Six, Grand Gala Disaster

Bubblegum and Twilight were best buddies. They both loved hanging out together, they both like books, and they both like ponies/people. They were like the same person. Twilight introduced Bubblegum to all of her friends. She met Applejack and that she likes apples, she met Fluttershy who likes animals, she also met Rainbow Dash who loves flying. She was so interested in all of these ponies, that she soon forgot about the accident at the boutique. Then, The Grand Galloping Gala came up. Twilight and the rest of her friends were getting ready while Bubblegum was left clueless on what it was.

"YOU SERIOUSLY DON'T KNOW WHAT THE GRAND GALLOPING GALA IS?!" Yells Rarity to the top of her lungs.

"Um, no... But I would like to know."

Then Twilight comes in the room with the most lovely dress and mane style ever.

"The Grand Galloping Gala is the most wonderful night of the year. It's like a ball. You dress up in a costume, dance, and have stuff to eat." Says Twilight gracefully.

"Oh. Is that it? OK then. I will go get an outfit."

Rarity tries to help Bubblegum pick out an outfit, but each outfit Bubblegum likes, Rarity says, "That's not your style." Or, "You won't look good in THAT thing." Bubblegum was trying to be nice and just go with the flow, but after how many times she kept saying no, it kept getting her more and more irritated. Finally, Rarity asked Bubblegum if she could just make her a dress. Bubblegum nodded her head yes. The Grand Galloping Gala was just in 4 hours.

"OK Bubblegum, what colors do you want your dress or, what do you want it to look like?"

"I don't care. as long as it's pretty and matches my style."

"OK."

While Rarity was making the dress, Bubblegum was getting bored, so her and Twilight decided to practice spells together.

"OK Bubblegum, what spell do you know?"

"Um... I Know how to turn ponies into alicorns?"

Once Twilight heard that, she was amazed! She had never heard of an alicorn that could turn other ponies into alicorns except for Celestia.

"Which pony did you turn into alicorns?"

"Well... I turned Vinyl Scratch and Octavia into alicorns."

Twilight didn't believe her at first, so she told her to prove it. Bubblegum teleported Vinyl and Octavia to Rarity's boutique.

"Hey look Octavia, it's Princess Twilight!"

"I don't really care.."

"How did you do that and when did you do that?!" Says Twilight anxiously.

"Well... I did it yesterday and how I did it, Octavia was making a song."

"Cool... an alicorn who casts spell by music... So cool. Can I write a book about you now?" Says Twilight with a book in her hoof.

"Fine. But only since you asked nicely."

"Wait... Bubblegum, your an alicorn?! I did not see that coming." Says Vinyl.

"Of course she is. How else do think we became alicorns." Says Octavia irritated.

"Wait... How did you know I was an alicorn?"

"Well, your magic only comes from alicorns. Duh."

"I think I should write to Princess Luna."

"Wait... So your Luna's student? I was Celestia's student!"

"Really? Aren't they sisters?" Asks Bubblegum.

"Yes they are. How did you not know that?" Says Twilight Suspiciously.

"Um... I lived in Las Vegas?"

"You mean, Las Pegasus. Right?"

"Yes. So anyways, I'm gonna get to writing that letter.

(In the letter)
"Dear Princess Luna, Today I learned that through all the trouble you go through with your friends, they always got your back. No matter how far in this place called, "Equestria" I go, the more I learned to love it here. It always strikes me in the back of my head. Should I stay? Or should I go? Who knows? From your Different Student, Princess Bubblegum."

Once Bubblegum got done writing her letter, Rarity had just got done with Bubblegum's dress for The Grand Galloping Gala. It was so beautiful! It had Bubblegum Bubbles on it. The dress was blue, and the gum on it was pink. All Bubblegum had to do, was do her hair, so she went to the spa to get it done. Once she got her hair done, it was time to go to the gala. Twilight got out her carriage from the first time her and her friends ever went to the gala. Rarity got some stallions to pull the carriage and one of the stallions was Fire Hoof! Bubblegum's crush. As Bubblegum looks at him and blushes, Twilight notices and smiles at her.

"So, Bubblegum, I noticed the way you looked at that pony. I don't think you like him. Do you?"

"Um no. I just... HE'S AN ACQUAINTANCE OK?! Bubblegum says nervously.

They get to The Grand Galloping Gala. As Bubblegum steps out of the carriage, Fire Hoof walks in front of her.

"Hey Bubblegum, it's been a while. So I was wondering, if you were interested in being my date to The Gala?"

Bubblegum is shocked. She's never been this confused in her whole life. She didn't know what to say. So all she said was...

"YES! I mean, Sure. I would love to."

Twilight looks back at her and smiles. "I knew he wasn't an acquaintance."

So Bubblegum and Fire Hoof walk up to the castle door and hand the guards their tickets to The Gala and walk inside. At first, all Bubblegum saw was food, then saw the ponies around the food. "Aw dang it." When they go to the dance floor, The Shadow Alicorn follows them. Fire Hoof goes towards Bubblegum and says, "Shall we dance?" Bubblegum replies, "We shall." So as Bubblegum and Fire hoof start Dancing, The Shadow Alicorn makes his move and goes strait to Bubblegum! Fire Hoof knocks Bubblegum out of the way so that she wouldn't get hit. Then, A pony steps on her dress, and she is revealed an alicorn! every pony stopped what they were doing and stared at her. "Another alicorn? I didn't there were 5?" Says Purple Wave and all the other background ponies. The Shadow Alicorn went towards Bubblegum and picked her up.

"Do think you can save this poor, pathetic, alicorn? Well your wrong!" Said The Shadow Alicorn as he teleported with Bubblegum.

"NOOOOOO!" Yells Fire Hoof as he starts to crouch towards the ground.

Chapter Seven, United Through Family

Fire Hoof was siting on the castle floor heart broken about Bubblegum being taken by The Shadow Alicorn. Twilight went over there to try and cheer him up, but he refused! He said he would do anything in his power to get her back. As he said that, Rarity was crying because no one had loved her before and this made her a little jealous. The Shadow Alicorn appeared in his lair with Bubblegum in his hoof.

"Well, it looks like no one is here to try and find you."

"My friends will find me!"

"I doubt that... Besides, they never cared about you. that Twilight Sparkle that you think is your, "Friend" is only interested in you because your an alicorn or as we like to call them, Princesses. If you come with me, you will be a queen. Higher than Celestia, and the rest of them."

"I will never follow you! Is that really what Twilight thinks of me :fluttercry: ?"

"of course it is. Why else would you think she wants to write a book about you?"

Bubblegum looks like she is about to cry.

"I will give you some time to take all of this in."

The Shadow Alicorn left the room. Bubblegum was chained to a wall when all of a sudden a weird looking dragon type thing showed up.

"Well,Twilight told me you were hot pink and neon blue, but she didn't tell me you were an alicorn. So, where is your crown and castle?"

"Wait, Twilight asked you to come here? I guess she really does care about me."

"Oh, and by the way, I'm Discord. And who might you be?"

"My name is Bubblegum."

"Don't you mean Princess Bubblegum? I mean, you are an alicorn."

"I don't have a castle or a crown. I just showed up through a magical mirror in a cave. OK, Discord?"

"Alright gosh. With that attitude I just might leave you here in this, rotten, smelly, old, dungeon." Says Discord as he looks around. "So, where is the exit in this place?"

"It's right over there I think. But I'm locked up in these chains."

"Can't you use your magic to teleport?"

"Oh... I didn't think of that." Bubblegum tries to use her magic to teleport out of the chains, but the chains were magic proof. "It's useless. I can't do it."

"Maybe..." Discord snaps his fingers and Bubblegum got out of the chains. "Come on. lets get out of here now."

So discord and Bubblegum teleport out of the dungeon and into Ponyville. As The Shadow Alicorn comes into the room, he sees Bubblegum escaped. "NOOOOOO!"

"Twilight, we're back."

"Oh thank goodness. Bubblegum, what did that monster do to you?!"

"He told me (sniff) some things about you." Says Bubblegum as she's about to cry.

"What did he tell you?"

"He told me you were only interested in me because I'm an alicorn. That's why, you wanted to write a book about me." Says Bubblegum as she bursts into tears. Twilight was feeling really bad about how she treated Bubblegum.

"Bubblegum, I'm not interested in you because your an alicorn, well, that's one of the reasons. But what I'm trying to say is, I am interested in you, because your a wonderful pony. Your funny, smart, Your almost exactly like me, but your own kind of pony. So wipe those tears off your face, and enjoy the rest of the night."

Bubblegum wiped the tears off her face and sat there for a little bit.

"Hey where did Fire Hoof go?" Asked Bubblegum.

"He went looking for you darling." Says Rarity.

Twilight roles her eyes with a smile on her face and teleports him back.

"WHY DID YOU BRING ME BACK TWILIGHT! I'M TRYING TO BUBBLE..." Says Fire Hoof as he turns his head and looks at Bubblegum. "Oh... He he, hi Bubblegum. How was the trip?"

"(Giggle) HA HA HA HA! You suck with trying to make mares like you!" Yells Pinkie Pie out of no where.

"Pinkie Pie? When did you get here?" Asked Twilight.

"Oh, I was here the whole time. I was here when that shadowy figure took Bubblegum, and when you just did the apology." Says Pinkie Pie as she has a big grin on her face. "LET'S GET BACK TO PARTYING!"

As they got back to partying, The Shadow Alicorn was on the roof looking down through the glass.

"I will get you someday, maybe not today, or tomorrow, but I will get you Bubblegum." Says The Shadow Alicorn as he disappears. "Now it's time to get my sister, Princess Celestia!"

Chapter Eight, Big Brother

So every pony just decided to enjoy the rest of The Grand Galloping Gala since they thought nothing bad would happen. Twilight still felt really bad for treating Bubblegum the way she did. Even after the apology. Twilight decided to go back to her castle instead of stay at the Gala. Bubblegum saw Twilight was leaving so she ran towards her wanting to know why.

"Twilight, (breath) why are you leaving?"

"Because, There's no way you would forgive me for how I treated you."

"Twilight, I forgave you even before you made the apology. Besides, who wouldn't want to write a book about me?" :twilightsheepish:

They both start laughing. :rainbowlaugh:

"Well, I guess I don't have to keep feeling bad about myself. But, I am sort of getting tired."

So Twilight and Bubblegum go to Twilight's castle and a bunch of ponies see that Bubblegum is an alicorn, so the newspaper ponies took some photos for the article they were making. Twilight and Bubblegum are in the kitchen making some dinner.

"So, Twilight, where am I going to sleep?"

"Um, well I have a guest bedroom on the second floor, it hasn't been cleaned or anything, but you can try to clean it up."

"OK."

Bubblegum goes to the second floor to go to the guest bedroom. The bedroom had all sorts of spider webs and dust everywhere. It was hideous! "Here's a chance I can test out my magic." Bubblegum tries using her magic to clean up the room and ends up making it look like a famous girls bedroom. When Bubblegum opened her eyes, she saw how beautiful it was. She loved it! She went to go sit on the bed, and it was a water bed! She was loving being a pony. So Twilight calls Bubblegum when the food is ready. Twilight made hay fries, hay shakes, and hay burgers.

"Twilight, why does everything involve hay?"

"Because, hay is what we like. We're ponies."

"Oh..."

Bubblegum tries to at least smell the hay, but she just couldn't see herself eating them. She tried one bite, and she loved it! She started digging in. Twilight never saw a pony eat like this. When they were done, Twilight wanted to see her bedroom. When she looked at the bedroom, she could not believe her eyes. A luxury bed, zebra striped stuff, it was unbelievable! Twilight wanted to go tell Princess Celestia about what Bubblegum did. Twilight got to her Castle and went inside and started talking about what Bubblegum did.

"So this pony can make bedrooms really quick?"

"Yes. She did it while I was making dinner."

"Wow. This pony needs to be my student." :trollestia:

As both of them were laughing, The Shadow Alicorn came in and took Celestia and went and took Luna right in front of Twilight. Twilight tried to fight off the monster, but her magic wasn't powerful enough. The Shadow Alicorn took off with both the princess's. Twilight ran home and put a force field around the house.

"Twilight? What's wrong? I thought you wanted to visit with the princess?"

"There is that giant shadowy monster coming after us again!"

"Oh... You mean The Shadow Alicorn?" Says bubblegum in an irritated voice.

"Wait, you know this, thing! Do you know more about him?! I need information."

"Well, I know that he wants to crush people's dreams..."

"Anything else?"

"Nope that's all I know."

"OK, well we need to get to bed. Goodnight."

"Goodnight."

Bubblegum and Twilight go to bed. The Shadow Alicorn took both the princess's to his lair.

"Well, Hello Celestia. And I can't forget about you Luna." Said The Shadow Alicorn.

"What do you want from me and Celestia!"

"Why can't I saw hello to my own flesh and blood?"

"Celestia, what is he talking about?"

"I don't even know who he is. But all I know is he'd better let us out right now!"

"Oh aren't you funny Celestia. You two, are my sisters."

Chapter Nine, How Could This Be?!

Princess Luna and Celestia were still wondering why that pony said that he was their brother. Even The Shadow Alicorn has a memory he will never forget. Luna was trying to get up and talk to him, but she was to hurt to stand on her hooves.

"It's no use Luna. he put us in here, we will never get out."

"Why are you suddenly doubting yourself Tia, we will figure out a way out of here or some pony will come to get us. Like your faithful student."

"Twilight is no longer my student, she is a princess now."

"Well what else was I supposed to say?"

"Twilight Sparkle."

"We need to stop arguing sister, it will only distract us."

Twilight and Bubblegum were still wondering why would he take Celestia and Luna. Bubblegum thought he just wanted her, but she was wrong. Twilight knew just who to talk to, Zecora! Bubblegum and Twilight were headed to the Ever Free Forest to ask Zecora some questions.

"Well, well, well, if it isn't Twilight Sparkle." Says Zecora as she's meditating.

"Zecora, we need your help. There is something called, The Shadow Alicorn. It is loose in Canterlot and Ponyville kidnapping Princess's."

"Yes. I'm and alicorn as well as Twilight is and the rest of the Princess's. Also, sorry we came in without knocking."

"It's OK Bubblegum. So this Shadow seems to be troublesome?"

"Yes, Zecora. It tried kidnapping Bubblegum first, but then discord saved her. Yesterday, he kidnapped Luna and Celestia. Me and Bubblegum think that he might be after Cadence too."

"If so, you have to go to the Crystal Empire, Before your time expires."

They left immediately. While they were headed to the train, Bubblegum got scratched on the face by a Purple glowing thorn. "OW!" Twilight looked back at Bubblegum. "Come on Bubblegum, or we're gonna miss the train!" Bubblegum started to bleed, but she kept running. When they got to the train, Bubblegum passed out. twilight realized she passed out, so she carried her with her magic.

"Do you have any tickets to aboard the train?" Said the pony gaurding the trian.

"Well, no. But this is important."

"OK... But at least give me fifteen bits."

"Here."

"Have a nice day."

Twilight got on the train and immediately went to her room to see if she was ok.

"Bubblegum, are you OK?"

As she starts to wake up, she is wondering why Twilight was in front of her face.

"Yeah... Why are you in my face?"

"Oh, sorry, I was wanting to know if you were OK?"

"Yeah, sort of, but my head was bleeding."

Twilight looks at the right side side of Bubblegum's head.

"Oh dear, I didn't know you were bleeding. Do you want me to get something for it?"

"Sure. I am having a minor headache. But, I think it will go away."

"OK. I will go get the first aid kit."

As Twilight went to go get the first aid kit, the train was almost to the Crystal Empire, So Twilight just decided to take her the hospital when they got there. Twilight walked back into the room.

"Did you get the kit?"

"No because since we're almost to the Crystal Empire, I just decided to take you to the hospital when we get there."

"Oh, well thanks anyways."

"All aboard, The Crystal Empire!"

"Well, here's our stop."

Twilight and Bubblegum get off the train and go to the castle.

"So I'm thinking, I will stay at the castle, while you go to the hospital. That way, I can protect Cadence, while you get that cut stitched."

"OK, But where's the hospital?"

Twilight stopped running

"Dang it... There is no Hospital in the Crystal Empire!" Says Twilight as she face palms herself. "We'll deal with it when we get to the castle."

They get to the castle and barge right in. Cadence is wondering what the noise was, so she went down stairs and bumps into Twilight.

"Ow." Says Cadence.

"Sorry."

"Wait, Twilight! I wasn't expecting a visit from you."

(Both of them) "Sunshine, sunshine, ladybugs awake. Clap your hooves and do a little shake!"

(Giggles)

"So anyways, The reason why we came here is because there's a monster kidnapping all the princesses and we think it will come after you next!"

"Wait, if it's kidnapping all the princesses, why are you still here?"

"I don't think it wants me... But it has kidnapped Bubblegum"

"Who's Bubblegum?"

Bubblegum comes out from behind Twilight. "Hi. I'm Bubblegum, but you can call me Princess Bubblegum."

"Another Alicorn!? Has Princess Celestia been on a roll making other ponies Alicorns or something?"

"Well we don't know exactly how she became an Alicorn, but she is one. And Princess Celestia didn't even know she was an Alicorn. So I'm thinking, she was born an Alicorn. Right Bubblegum?"

"Oh, yes, right. I was born an Alicorn."

"So anyways, we thought we needed to protect you."

"Well if you think it will come after me, then OK."

So Twilight and Bubblegum watch Cadence where ever she goes. Bubblegum feels really weird, but she just kept walking. Twilight heard Bubblegum breathing deeply.

"Are you OK Bubblegum? Your breathing really deeply."

"Yeah I'm OK. Let's just keep protecting Cadence."

"I don't think your OK. Do you want me tell Cadence about this? She might know."

"Sure, I guess."

Twilight tells Cadence about how Bubblegum is feeling. Cadence knew what happened to her.

"Well, Bubblegum. The reason your feeling this way is because of your cut. Your cut, did you get cut by a purple thorn?"

"Well, I think so. Why?"

"It's because of your magic. You probably aren't used to your magic, or you have different magic. So your magic is sort of, changing. This means that your magic will go off any time."

"What does that mean?"

"It means you will make things disappear, appear, turn things into other things, etcetera. And you can't controll it. But there is something I can do to keep it under controll."

"OK, well, can you do it please? I don't want to hurt any one."

"OK."

Cadence made it to where her magic wouldn't go crazy.

"There you go."

"Thanks."

"Your welcome."

After that happened, The Shadow Alicorn came and took Cadence.

"Looks like you've failed again, Twilight Sparkle."

He takes Cadence out to his lair.

"NOOOOOOO!" Yells Twilight. "How could this be?" :fluttercry:

Author's Note

Find out in the next chapter what happens :scootangel:

Chapter Ten, Emotions

Twilight was still stressed about Cadence. Bubblegum tried to cheer her up, but nothing seemed to work. Bubblegum brought Pinkie Pie and the rest of her friends to try to cheer her up, but even they didn't cheer up. Finally, Pinkie Pie brought out the big guns... Twilight's parents! Twilight was surprized that she knew where her parents lived. Twilight Velvet knew that Twilight was upset about Cadence, so she said something to her,

"Twilight... I know that your very upset that this, thing took your sister in law and that she was like a sister to you. But you don't have to block everyone out and let your emotions get in the way of your life. Just, be calm and have fun with your friends, because before you know it, their all gone."

Twilight Velvet's speach gave Twilight encouragement, she didn't let her emeotions get in her way. Rarity almost cried because of the speach. Pinkie Pie did the same. Then, one of Cadence's royal guards came in to the bedroom.

"Excuse me, but um, can you please show me where the kitchen is? I-I'm kind of new to being a guard."

"Sure. It's to the left on the end of the hallway." Said Twilight.

"Thanks. Oh, I'm Mohawk by the way."

"Great to know what your name is. My name's Twilight."

Mohawk fell in love with Twilight, but he didn't know if she liked him back.

"Well I'm gonna go to the kitchen now."

Bubblegum realized he had a crush on Twilight. :trixieshiftright:

"Well if we're gonna find this, dreaded beast, we need to go now." Said Rarity.

Twilight and the rest of them were about to leave when Mohawk suddenly joined without permission and Applejack was really ticked off that he was coming. He knew that she didn't like him, but he still came. They all went on a train to the nearest land, Echo Land. To get information. When they got there, ponies seemed to be really polite. Pinkie Pie was getting suspicious. All of the main six and Bubblegum split up to ask all the ponies about The Shadow Alicorn to see if they knew anything. Only one pony out of all of them knew something about him.

"I heard from many towns and cities that he was just a nightmare, but soon became real. Because of starswirl the bearded. He wanted to test and see if it was real, but brung the nightmare to life. The Shadow Alicorn terrorized many villages and never stopped. Until Celestia was born. She took him down once and for all. Many ponies say that he has come back, but I don't know if that's true."

Twilight got all the information she needed, but where his lair was.

"Do you know where he lives?"

"Well, ponies say he lives in the west feild mountains."

"Thanks."

"Your welcome."

Twilight, Bubblegum, and the rest of the main six went to the west feild mountains to find him, take hime down, and get the princess's back. But, they didn't find an opening. Rarity remembered a spell of secret pathage ways. She used the spell and the cave was right in front of them. Mohawk gulped and was terrified. Applejack rolled her eyes as she looks at him. Twilight and the others walked in and it was very dark, until Bubblegum used her magic to make it more brighter. Mohawk was scared at first, but soon got over it. When they walked through the door, the lights came on, and it was a booby-trap! Mohawk turned around in fear and began running, but the door shut. Technically, he was running in the wall. Applejack started giggling quietly as the others tried to get through. When Pinkie Pie stepped on a pressure plate, arrows started flying at them. Applejack tried to get Mohawk to stop running in the wall, but he was so scared, that he couldn't hear her. Applejack growled and picked him up, and started fast walking down the booby-trap! None of the arrows hit her! The others were impressed. They headed through the next door. Behind that door was another door, and another door, and another door! There was so many doors, not even Twilight knew! When they got to the last door, the dungeon door was right there.

"ANOTHER DOOR! DON'T YOU THINK WE'VE GONE THROUGH ENOUGH DOORS ALREADY!" Said Rainbow Dash as she gets upset.

"This might be the door we're supposed to go through." Said Twilight.

When Twilight opens the door quietly, all the princesses were all right there!

"CADENCE!"

Twilight runs up to Cadence and hugs her.

"Twilight, what are you doing here? and how did you get here?"

"I have no time to explain, we just need to get you out of here."

When Twilight breaking the chains with her magic, The Shadow Alicorn came in!

"Well well well, if it isn't, The Princess of Friendship. I guess now that all of you are here, I can now steal ALL of your magic! MWA HA HA HA HA!"

"We will never let you steal mine and the other alicorns magic!" Says Twilight agressively.

"Whatch me."

The Shadow Alicorn came after Twilight and Bubblegum attacking them. Bubblegum's magic started messing up again because the spell wore off. She turned The Shadow Alicorn into a real pony! (On Accident) The Shadow Alicorn realized he could now cause REAL damage to the ponies, but he couldn't steal their magic, only Tirek could. He was mad at Bubblegum, so he grabbed her, and teleported with her.

"NOOOO!" Yelled Luna. "She was my only student..."

Luna started to cry, but Celestia knew what it was like to lose her student, Sunset Shimmer. Even if it wasn't the same, she still knew how it felt. When The Shadow Alicorn and Bubblegum teleported to their destination, Bubblegum realized they wern't in Equestria any more, they were at C.C.P.D! (Central City Police Department)

Chapter Eleven, The Flash?

"Welcome to the C.C.P.D. Or in other case, the Central City Police Department." Said The Shadow Alicorn.

Bubblegum recognized that name, but, didn't remember what it was from.

"Why did you bring me here? why do you want me?" Asks Bubblegum.

"You've got MAGIC... Besides you don't even know how to use it. your very pathetic." Says The Shadow Alicorn. "Anyways, I've gotta go. Bu-Bye."

The Shadow Alicorn jumps through the portal that brought them to the C.C.P.D.

"NOOOO!"

Bubblegum tries to go through the portal, but it disappeared before she could go through. She saw that she had fingers and toes, but still had a horn and wings. Her hair was still blue, but her skin was peach.

"What the heck is this place?"

Then since things weren't getting any weirder, she looked at the TV and heard them say,

"Another Meta-Human attack was just on Maple S.t. But luckily, the Flash came in and saved the day once again..."

"Meta-Human?"

When she said that, a person looked at her and the police grabbed their guns and pointed them at her.

"It's a Meta."

"Put your hands in the air!"

Bubblegum was frightened! She didn't know what to do.

"Listen, I don't know what a Meta-Human is, but I can assure you, I'm NOT a meta."

She tried to reason with them, but they kept pointing their guns.

"Fine, You wanna do this the hard way, we'll do this the hard way..."

Bubblegum flew up in the air, and used her horn to blast some of them. Then, a police man named Joe tried to shoot her, but she teleported to the other side of the room. Then, she saw Joe call somebody. And when he got finished with the call, a man with a red suit and a lightning bolt on his chest showed up.

Bubblegum looks at him with shock. "Flash?...."

Then, The Flash looked at her.

"What your doing is a big mistake. I can tell by the way you look, you didn't mean to hurt those police officers."

Bubblegum looked at him and her eyes were filled with tears, "Sorry."

She blasted him with her horn and flew out the window. A voice was talking to The Flash from the speakers in his suit saying,

"Barry, why didn't you attack her?! she almost killed those people!" Said the voice in his speakers.

"I felt something odd about her. I don't think she's a Meta."

"Well, what did she look like?"

"She had a unicorn horn? And wings that looked like an eagles wings."

"What is she, a unicorn or something?"

"Well, she had blue hair, but she looked like a person. Anyways, I'm com'in back to S.T.A.R. Labs."

The Flash left the building wondering what she was. While Bubblegum was flying, she spotted a bench she could sit on for a while. She landed on the ground, and sat on the bench.

"I almost killed those people back there. That wasn't me... Why didn't they listen to me?" She says as she starts crying. "Why, am I stuck in this world? How come I can't do anything right? If I NEVER found that cave, I wouldn't be in this mess right now. In matter of fact, I wouldn't even be a darn alicorn!" She starts crying even more. people start to hear her, they started backing away in fear thinking she was a Meta-Human. "oh look, even the people here are scared of me... (Starts making up a song) I don't belong, I don't fit in, I don't move on, I feel sunk in. Why do I feel so left behind, oo oh oh. Why can't I feel in front of the line....... How come I can't ever be fit together, I feel so, lost. Why can't I.... Belong, why can't I can't Move on, I feel so sunk in, I don't fit iiiiiin! I can't be myself, in front of others. No one expects a lot of me, no one, ever thinks a lot of me.... I, can, just, feel..... Alone. (song ends) Bubblegum was crying her eyes out. she wanted to be in bed, with some nice covers. Instead of traveling through different worlds, and feeling so... Cold. Barry went to S.T.A.R. Labs and his buddy, Cisco was there.

"Cisco? Why are you still here?"

Cisco looks at Barry. "I'm wanting to know why you didn't attack her."

"I just.... I didn't want to hurt her until I found out why she looks like that. But she flew out the window before I could talk to her."

"Particle Accelerator Maybe?"

"No, I think it's something, more."

(Cisco starts to vibe about Bubblegum.) Cisco sees Bubblegum as an E.G, then sees her go in the cave, go to the pony world, becomes a pony, everything that happened to her, comes to this world. Barry looks at him.

"Did you just vibe?"

"Yeah..."

"What did you see?"

"I saw Bubblegum."

"Who?"

"The person with the horn and the wings."

"What happened in the vibe?"

"She was, going in a cave. She found a mirror, and became a pony? Then, she..."

(He explained everything)

"So, she is technically, a horse? Wait no, a pony?"

"yeah, Pretty much."

"So she didn't mean to hurt anybody?"

"No."

"I have to find her. get her back here. Do you know where she is?"

"She's on... Main S.t."

Barry nods, grabs his Flash suit, and goes to Main S.t. He finds Bubblegum sleeping on a bench with a newspaper as a blanket.

"Bubblegum, I'm sorry about what I though you were back at the Police Department..."

Bubblegum hears a voice, and gets up.

"How do you know my name?!"

"I will explain to you on the way."

"Wait, where am I going?"

"To S.T.A.R. Labs. I need you to come with me."

Author's Note

(I know the song was a bit much, but... I just was thinking of something sad)

Will Joe come and almost shoot Bubblegum, will he hold his gun up against her will, or will he listen to what everyone has to say? Find out in the next chapter :eeyup:

Chapter Twelve, STUCK?!?!?

Bubblegum followed The Flash to S.T.A.R. Laboratories to ask questions. Turns out, Bubblegum could fly as fast as The Flash can run... Who knew?! When they got there, Cisco was siting down in a chair looking up stuff about Equestria to find out some stuff about Bubblegum. But nothing showed up! He started to wonder if she even existed! Cisco turned around when they both came through the door.

"Hey Barry."

"Hey Cisco. I found Bubblegum."

"Good." Cisco says as he walks up to Bubblegum. "We need to do some tests on you."

"What do you mean?" Asks Bubblegum.

"I mean, we need to see why you look like this. Do you know anything about the Particle Accelerator?"

Bubblegum nodded no.

"OK... Where are you from?"

"I'm from... Equestria? Yeah, Equestria."

"Why are you here?"

"A dumb Shadow Alicorn trapped me in this world."

Barry's face lights up like he knows where she's from. "Are you from Earth 2?!" He asks.

"Um, I don't even know what that is... Sorry."

Cisco and Barry run out of ideas on where she's from. So, they call their friend, Katelyn. In the middle of the night.

(Phone rings and wakes Katelyn up)

*Grunts* "Hello?!" Katelyn says as she's ticked off.

"We found a Pony."

"OK.... CALL ME BACK WHEN SOMETHING SERIOUS HAPPENS!"

"No no no no. I'ts not what you think it is, Kate."

"Yes it is. You found a small horse."

"No... It's half human."

"Ugh. Another Meta-Human?"

"Nope."

"Then what is it?"

"We don't know yet. just, get here ASAP."

"OK. I will be over there in a minute."

Katelyn got up out of bed, get dressed, and went to S.T.A.R. Labs. Bubblegum got so tired, she went to sleep on one of their hospital beds. When Katelyn came, she didn't see anything or anyone.

"Was this a prank call? You know I hate being disturbed in my sleep."

"It wasn't a prank call. She is sleeping over there on one of the beds."

Katelyn goes to see Bubblegum on the bed. And they were right, there was a person with a horn and wings.

"Did she turn out like this because of the Particle Accelerator?"

"No. Turns out, she's from a world called Equestria."

"Equestria?"

"Yeah." Barry interrupts. "I'm assuming, It's a place where things that are like her are."

Bubblegum woke up because she had to use the BR. When she saw Katelyn, she was freaked out because she thought that she would do the same thing the police did.

"AHHHHHHHH!"

"No, no, Bubblegum, she's our friend. Her name is, Katelyn." Said Cisco.

Bubblegum waves slowly. While she went to the BR, Joe came over to see if things were going well over at S.T.A.R. Labs.

"Oh, hi Joe."

"Hello, Barry. Have you seen a person with blue hair, a pink horn, and pink wings? That thing almost destroyed the C.C.P.D."

Barry, Cisco, and Katelyn all knew what Joe would do if he found her.

"Nope. Haven't seen her."

"Barry, I know when your lying. Where is she?"

As soon as he said that, Bubblegum came from the BR.

(YAWN) "I'm going back to bed." Bubblegum sees Joe. "AHHHH! NOT YOU!"

Joe pointed his gun at Bubblegum and he almost shot her. But luckily, Barry speeded over and grabbed the bullets.

"I hate it when you do that."

"I'm not gonna let you do that."

"Why?! She almost killed those police men!"

"Because she didn't mean to!"

"How do you know?!"

"Because we asked her questions."

Bubblegum was so scared, she almost hyperventilated! When she calmed down, she went back to bed.

"How do you know if she's good?" Asks Joe as he putts his gun down.

"I could see it in her eye's. Besides, we need to help her get back home."

"Now how are supposed to do that?" Asks Katelyn as she walks towards Barry.

"I don't know yet. But I wanna help her get home."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Meanwhile in Equestria...

"I can't seem to get Bubblegum back." Says Twilight as she Tries to use her magic.

"Maybe we should, um, take a break?" Says Fluttershy trying to be positive.

"I don't think she will come back."

"Like, she's stuck in the other world?!?!" Says Rarity as she starts freaking out.

"Wait. I know a spell that can at least send a message to her!"

Twilight starts making the message and send it to where ever Bubblegum is. Bubblegum's horn started glowing.

"What's happening with Bubblegum?!" Says Cisco as he starts to freak out.

"I don't know, but stand back just in case."

The light made Bubblegum wake up from her sleep.

(The message starts playing and everyone could see)

"Dear Bubblegum, We've tried everything we possibly can to get you back to Equestria. But nothing is working. We've tried teleporting, we've tried bringing you to us, but nothing seemed to work. We think that The Shadow Alicorn might have messed with the portals and the worlds, so you might be stuck there for a while. This is an automated message from Twilight Sparkle."

(The message ended)

"So, your stuck here until your friends can help you?" Asks Cisco.

"Yeah pretty much...... I'M STUCK!!!!!" Bubblegum starts freaking out.

Author's Note

Will Bubblegum get back home? Or will she be stuck? Find out in the next chapter :raritywink:

Chapter Thirteen, What?!

After Bubblegum being so depressed, she cried for an hour. Barry kept feeling sorry for her because she can't go back home. Then, Bubblegum remembered what her mom told her when she was little.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Mommy?"

"Yes, Bubblegum?"

"I had a nightmare last night."

"What was it about sweetie?"

"I was leaving home to go to that college place you told me about. I said goodbye to you, and then, When I got to the college, you, you..." Bubblegum starts crying. "YOU DIED!!!" starts crying even more.

"Oh Bubblegum, don't cry. It was only a nightmare."

"But it felt, s-so real..."

"Bubblegum, that would never happen. I wouldn't die because you went to college."

"I know that. I would just never wanna leave you."

"Listen, no matter what happens, even if you move out or go to college, I will always be with you in your heart. And when you have nightmares, just remember that, I love you."

Bubblegum then stopped crying and hugged her mother.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Bubblegum got off the hospital bed, and started walking out the door.

"Bubblegum, where are you going?" Asked Barry.

"I'm gonna go get some food."

"You can't."

Bubblegum remembered that the people were scared of her.

"Right... People think I'm a soul called 'Meta-Human'"

"Yeah. But I will go get you some food."

Barry zoomed out the door, got some breakfast, and came back.

"Here you go."

"How did you get the food without paying for it?"

"I do pay for it."

"How? The cashiers have to scan the food, and tell you how much it costs."

"I don't really know."

Bubblegum starts to giggle a little bit, then get's to eating breakfast. She uses her horn to put the food in her mouth.

"I still think that's cool." Says Cisco as the alarm starts beeping. "Meta-Human alert. Down town on Maple Ave."

"OK."

Barry quickly puts on his Flash suit and goes to Maple Ave.

"What about me? Can I go?"

"Sorry, Bubblegum. Everyone thinks your a Meta."

"Well if I do this they won't."

Bubblegum flies really fast out the door and goes to Maple.

"I'm guessing that she's also like Barry huh?"

Joe nods his head yes.

Bubblegum sees Barry go inside were-house. So she followed. When she landed on the ground, Barry saw her.

"Bubblegum?! what are you doing here?!"

"I came to help."

"Get out of here before you get hurt."

(snickers) "You think in Equestria there are no dangers?"

The Meta-Human appears out of no where.

"Well well well, if it isn't The Flash. And, what's this? You brought a friend for help? How pathetic."

"She followed me here."

"Awww, trying to make up an excuse? How cute. Hey, Here's something that's cute."

The Meta-Human tried to attack Barry, but Bubblegum put up a force field.

"How adorable. She even protects you."

"For one... I, am not, ADORABLE!!!"

Bubblegum attacked him while using her force field. She knocked him out long enough for them to put him in a containment cell.

"I was wrong Bubblegum, You are really good. Also, How did you use your horn like that?"

"I don't know. I never used it like that before."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Meanwhile in Ponyvile...

Mohawk still hasn't told Twilight about how he felt about her and Fire Hoof has cried for days! It's complete chaos in Ponyvile! Twilight is still trying to figure out a spell to get Bubblegum back. Mohawk finally feels brave enough to ask Twilight on a date.

"Hey, um Twi?"

"yeah?"

"I know you've been busy trying to get Bubblegum back, but, I wanted to know if you wanted to go on a date?"

"Sure."

(Secretly dances) "Ok. Thank you."

"Your welcome. Now, I have to get back to studying. When's the date?"

"Monday 7:00 PM."

"OK. I will be there."

"OK. See you Monday."

"See you too."

Author's Note

Looks like Twilight's got a date :trollestia:

Chapter Fourteen, Healing Wolf

When Mohawk asked Twilight out and she says yes, He doesn't seem to be that excited... He's more terrified than excited. But even if he is terrified, he still loves Twilight and wants to date her. He goes back to the crystal empire to be a gaurd because, he has to guard. He goes to the train station, and leaves. But of course, he doesn't leave without saying goodbye. He is REALLY nervous, terrified, and excited.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I still dont know how I did that... Do you know?" Says Bubblegum as she looks at cisco.

"Nope. And just a reminder, your from another world."

"Right... Well, I feel stupid."

(The alarm beeps again)

"Another Meta-Human attack."

"Another one? That's the most we've ever had... Well, besides the Meta-Pocalypse."

"Stop messing around. You two gotta go!"

"Wait, so, we're gonna keep doing these missions together?"

"Yeah, now go!"

Bubblegum and Barry head out the door, and go to where the Meta is. When they gt there, it seemed to be a wolf.

"This isn't a Meta-Human... It's just a wolf." Said Barry as he looks at the wolf.

The wolf then, sprouted wings, and flew off.

"Maybe it's a Meta-Wolf?"

"Not funny Bubblegum. Not funny... Though, it was cool."

Bubblegum goes and follows the wolf to see where it's going. But, the clouds were so thick, she couldn't see through them. She couldn't find out where it was, so she turned back.

"Did you get the wolf?"

"No. The clouds were to thick."

People start to surround the two of them. Bubblegum finally feels like they love her. She loved being love by others. But then, Bubblegum took off into the sky, while Barry was right underneath her. They both headed back to S.T.A.R. Labs. When they got to S.T.A.R. Labs, Bubblegum's horn started glowing again. It was another message from Twilight. Except, this time, it was from Fire Hoof.

(The message starts)
"Dear Bubblegum, (sniff) I have been missing you. I know your both from and in another world. And I know you may not like me, But I love you...

"I do love you Fire Hoof..."

"...And I want you to know that, I love you. Either your a human, or a pony, your beautiful inside and out. Bye Princess Bubblegum."

Bubblegum starts to cry both sad and happy tears. She didn't know what to say. But I think her tears were just enough.

"So, I'm assuming that's your boyfriend?"

(Sniff) "Yes..."

Barry looks surprised. "Your a Princess?! That's so cool."

"Actually, I became a Princess when I went through the mirror."

"Oh...."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Meanwhile if Ponyvile...

It's now Monday and almost time for Twilight and Mohawks date. Twilight is fancy looking, and Mohawk is too. They both look rather smashing getting ready for the date. (That's Everypony else's opinions) Twilight and Mohawk step into the restauraunt and sit down at their table for 2. (That Mohawk payed for) The date was going really good. Twilight talked about her childhood, while Mohawk talked about his childhood. Everything was going perfect.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Bubblegum went for a stroll out on the side-walk when she sees the wolf flying through the sky.

"Oh no you don't... Not this time."

Bubblegum flew after itvery quitely so she could come in for the element of surprise. But what she didn't know is what the wolf could do. She saw it go down to the ground where a hurt person was. Bubblegum wanted to get a closer look. Bubblegum got closer, and saw the wolf close her eyes, and the person! Bubblegum was amazed! She got closer to it to try and pet the wolf. The wolf saw her, but didn't really mind that she was getting closer. Bubblegum ended up picking the wolf up with her magic to take her back to S.T.A.R. Labsso she could tell them that the wolf isn't bad.

"Hey guys, look who iv'e got."

Barry looks over. "You got the wolf! But how?"

"She trusted me. So anways, I just saw the wolf heal a hurting woman... She closed her eyes, and the woman was healed. It was incedible!"

"So the wolf isn't bad?"

"No."

The wolf suddenly got out of Bubblegum's magical ray that was holding her, and escaped. Bubblegum tryed to grab her, but the wolf ran really fast.

Author's Note

I know this was a short chapter, but, Will they get the wolf? or will she stay away forever? Find out in the next chapter...

Chapter Fifteen, Healing Wolf Pt 2

"Well, there goes our healing wolf..." Bubblegum said with a sigh.

"The Meta-Morpher." Said Cisco as he thinks of a name. "Wait, no. I've got'a better one..."

"Maybe we should've let her her go anyways, Bubblegum. She can just be free." Says Barry as he tried to make her feel better.

"Not if they think she's an enemy! I won't let that happen to another person... or mammal."

Bubblegum went out of S.T.A.R. Labs to try and find The Healing Wolf and so happens to run into The Shadow Alicorn!

"Well, well, well... If isn't my prisoner. Why are you still here? Oh right... You can't use your horn." (Snickers)

"What are you doing here?!"

"Oh, why... I can't check on my "Favorite" pony in the world? Or at least, that's what you say you are."

"Knock it off. I don't even know who or what you are. Why do you want me?!"

"I want to steal your magic. You should've known that from the momment you appeared in the Canterlot Castle."

Barry suddenly shows up with his Flash suit on.

"Listen, Bubblegum. I'm sorry for getting you mad back there. And your right. We should've tried to keep her with us."

"I don't have the time right now for apologies."

"Why?" Barry then looks in front of Bubblegum. "What is that?!"

"The thing that brought me here!"

"Does it have a name?!"

"It's name is The Shadow Alicorn! I don't have time for conversation! Leave! Go!"

"I'm not leaving you here without helping you fight him... or, is it a her?"

"It's male... Wait... YOUR DISTRACTING ME!!!"

"Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry."

"Oh Bubblegum. Youv'e brung another person to the party... What is his, name?"

"Like I would tell you."

Both of them look serious at each other.

"Fine. His name is.... The Flash!"

Bubblegum then starts attacking. along side with The Flash. The Flash kicks The Shadow Alicorn in the face as soon as Bubblegum hit him with her magic.

"Ow!" The wound started to bleed hysterically. "Fine, I will leave then."

The Shaodw Alicorn leaves.

(Breathes deeply) "That was close, Bubblegum. Will that guy come back?"

"Maybe... Anyways, I'm gonna try to find the wolf. Bye." Bubblegum says as she flies really fast up to the sky.

"Bye." Barry says as he whispers.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
8 hours later...

Bubblegum had looked all over the city but STILL no sign of the wolf. She thought it might have flied to a different city, but she knows that even a wolf couldn't travel that far. She went back to S.T.A.R. Labs to ask them to do a scan of where she would be. They scanned for the wolf, but nothing seemed to show up. Barry decided to leave and go to CC Jitters. (A coffee place)

"One Flash please." (A Flash is a highly caffinated drink named after The Flash that keeps you running all day. Cause Flash is popular)

"OK." Says the cashier.

As soon as he said that, a woman he had never seen before came in Jitters.

"Um, I will have... Some Coffee."

"Black?"

"No. Just regular."

"OK."

Barry looks over at her. "Hi. I'm Barry. I've never seen you in town before. Are you new?"

"Oh yes. I'm very new. Oh, I'm Megan."

"Well hi Megan."

"Well hello Barry." Says Magan as she starts to giggle.

Barry orders a To-Go to talk with her on their way to S.T.A.R. Labs. (He invited her to come) When they got there, Bubblegum knew she had to hide when she first saw the car pull up.

"Hey um, Cisco..."

"Yes, Bubblegum?"

"Barry has a girl in his car."

"What?!"

Cisco loks outside.

"It's probably just a friend. But you should probably hide so she won't freak out."

"That's what I was thinking."

Bubblegum goes to the containment cells and sits in front of them while their upstairs. Soon, Megan had a head-ache.

"Are you alright, Megan?" Asked Barry as he starts to look at her.

"I think I need to go home to get over the head-ache."

"OK. Maybe I'll see you tomorrow?"

"I don't know. Maybe. If my head-ache stops. Bye, Barry."

"Bye, Megan."

Megan goes to her house. (She walked) When she got there, she turned into... The Healing Wolf!

Author's Note

(All of this is based on a dream) Will the rest of S.T.A.R. Labs find out she's The Healing Wolf? Or will they never find out? Find out in the next chapter :derpyderp2:

Chapter Sixteen, Healing Wolf Pt 3

After Barry's Friend, Megan transformed into the healing wolf, she finally realized that she was the healing wolf. Megan then looks in a mirror.

"(Gasp) What happened to me? Why am I a wolf?"

She suddenly heard and saw a car wreck happen, but she wasn't even outside or looking out the window. She thought to herself, "I, I don't know what's going on, but I think I should go to that person." When she got to the person, The Flash had just got there.

"Barry, is the person in the car alright?" Says Cisco.

"I'm not sure. I am going over to check."

Barry went over to check out the person and see if he was alright. He was feeling if there was a heartbeat. There wasn't a heartbeat at all.

"I got here too late.... The person is already dead. There's no heartbeat."

Then, Megan saw the perfect opportunity to use her healing powers! But, on the other hand, she knew that The Flash probably would attack her, or lock her in a cage! But, to save the person, she went over there anyway.

Barry looks at her.

"Hey, Cisco, the wolf is here. Wait, she can heal people. Well, it's what Bubblegum said. Right?"

"Yes."

Megan walks over to the dead person, closes her eyes, and heals the dead person. (Now alive that is)

Barry's face was in shock! No other Meta-Human (or in this case Meta-Wolf) has ever been good. (Besides Plastiqe)

"It's true. What Bubblegum said is true, Cisco. The Wolf CAN heal people. Do you think I should take it to S.T.A.R. Labs?"

"The person? Or the Wolf?"

"The Wolf of course."

"Well, yeah. You should."

Barry looks at Megan while Megan looks at Barry. Barry tried to gently grab Megan, but Megan ran to the side of him.

"Sorry little Wolf. For what I'm about to do."

Barry uses his super-speed to grab Megan. Megan tried to escape, but nothing seemed to work. Then, she just gave up. Barry super-speeded over to S.T.A.R. Labs with Megan and put her into a containment cell.

"There. She's in a cell, Cisco."

"Wait, why did you put her in a cell?"

"Well, you said bring her here. So I thought that you wanted her in a cell."

"Well, I guess you can keep her there until we figure out what to do."

"OK."

Barry came back upstairs and heard Bubblegum listening to music.

Bubblegum looked over at Barry.

"Oh, (Stops music) hello, Barry."

'Hi there, Bubblegum."

"So what did you do this mission?"

"I tried to help a dead person in a vehicle and the Wolf came and, I caught it."

"Wait, You caught that innocent creature?!"

"Well technically, it is a healing wolf. A Meta. We can't let it escape."

"First of all, it's a "she". Second of all, do you guys always have these kind of arguments?"

Everyone nodded yes.

"I'm going to try to find a way back to Equestria. I'm sorry if nothing went as planned."

Bubblegum stormed out of the room like nobody's buisness. Barry felt bad about what he did. But he did it for the right reason. Even if it made Bubblegum mad.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Meanwhile in Equestria.....

Luna was trying to get Bubblegum back with trying some spells, reading about this kinda stuff, (She couldn't find any books about it though) and even going to every super-villain (Except The Shadow Alicorn) For some help. Sure they almost killed her, but at least she got some answers.... They all said no, or, I don't know how to do that. Luna went back to the castle and started to cry.

"What if I never get my first student back?... What is, she's stuck there?" Luna says as she starts to cry even more.

Luckily, Celestia heard her down the hallway that Luna and Bubblegum first met.

"Luna, don't say such a thing. She will come back."

"How do you know? You didn't even know her."

"But I do know that you truly trusted her. And you loved her so much, you did everything you could to try and save her."

"(sniff) You know what, your right, Tia. I did try everything I could to help her. And I won't stop trying to help her! There's only one pony who knows about this kind of dimension magic.... Our brother!"

Author's Note

What will happen to Luna when she tries to go to The Shadow Alicorn? ind out in the next chapter. :heart:

Chapter Seventeen, Our Brother

Celestia had never heard Luna say such a thing about Shadow. (New name for him) Well, mostly because she didn't know who he was at the time. Luna knew that the journey and what he would do to them would be a bad thing. But if it was somepony she cared about, She would do anything for them.

"Luna, are you sure you want to see, him? You know what he could do."

"I have to save Princess Bubblegum! If it's the last thing I ever do!... Where does Shadow live?"

"NO! I'm not gong to lose you again! I won't tell you!"

"TIA! STOP BEING TO OVER PROTECTIVE! I CAN FACE THINGS ON MY OWN NOW! (Deeply sighs) Look, I'm going to save Bubblegum. And you can't stop me. Sorry."

Celestia started to cry, but she knew that Luna could do this on her own.

"OK. I won't get in your way. But, to be honest, I don't really know where he is." Celestia then had an idea. "But you can ask Twilight and her friends."

"OK. I am off to ask Twilight where my brother lives!"

Luna then ran down the hallway and left the castle. Celestia whispers to herself, "Please be careful, my sister..." Luna flies off to Twilight's castle in Ponyville. When she got there, she crash landed on her balcony. Twilight heard a loud thud and wondered what it was.

(Twilight walks outside onto the balcony) "Luna!? What are you doing here?!"

"I came here to ask you where The Shadow Alicorn lives. I am going to ask him to send Bubblegum back."

"I can't let you do that Luna. You'll get hurt."

"I'm through with always being fine. I need a little action every once in a while."

"OK. I will tell you..." (Twilight explains where he is)

"OK. Thank you, Twilight Sparkle."

"Your welcome, Luna."

Luna flies off... Again to go somewhere... The Westfield Mountains! She went through sleet, hail, rain, snow, and all sorts of different weathers just to get to one place. She looks at the mountains when she gets there and she sees nothing. Then, she found a weird looking stone. She tried to pick it up, but, it was a lever to the cave. She walks inside as she hears the cave doors close behind her. She then gulps and starts to sweat. She hears hoof steps as she stands still. It was Shadow! He runs right through the hallway, and comes up to Luna, and grabs her by the neck.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!?!"

Luna tries to breathe.

"I came here to, force you to bring Bubblegum back..."

"Why don't you stay a while...." He says as he grabs a knife.

(Gulp) "I wasn't planning on staying, I just want Bubblegum back."

Shadow puts away the knife.

"Very well then.."

He drops Luna and puts away the knife.

(deeply breathing) "I want Bubblegum back!"

"Oh... That poor alicorn who can't even use her uncontrollable magic? (Giggles) I have plans for her. First, I will trap her in a dimension to where she can't get out. Then, I will rid her of her magic. And last but not least, I will throw her in a cell, and feed her little bits of peas. I will torture her and there's nothing you can do about it... Lu Lu."

The Shadow Alicorn walks away from Luna.

"And by the way, you will NEVER know what dimension she's in."

As he continues to walk down his hallway towards his bedroom, Luna is found on the floor crying hysterically. She thought she would never get Bubblegum back. She thought that Bubblegum would die! And there was nothing she could do about it...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Meanwhile in The Flash Dimension....

Bubblegum stormed out of S.T.A.R. Labs frustrated about how Barry would trap the wolf in a containment cell. Cisco ran after her as fast he could. Trying to catch up to her.

"Bubblegum! I know your upset right now...."

"Upset isn't EVEN the word that describes how I'm feeling right now!"

"Well, I know your EXTREMELY upset right now.... But, I wasn't in on this. Nobody was. Barry just goes and puts the wolf in a cell. Doing what he thinks is best. Which I don't blame him, it's just the fact that he always does this. Once he puts his mind to something, no one can stop him."

"Listen, Cisco. I know your trying to make me feel better, but right now, I have two problems on my hands. Trying to get back to Equestria, and Trying to forgive Barry. I don't need anything to happen between us either. Your a really nice guy, Cisco...."

Cisco blushes.

".... I mean, not that I like you. I mean, your a nice guy. And what I mean by that, is, you would do anything for who you care about, or who you least care about."

Cisco smiled as he looked at her.

"If you need some time off, you can go. I won't stop you."

"Thanks, I'm sure I will get over this soon."

"OK."

Bubblegum flies away and soars for a while thinking about some things. Thinking about Equestria, her home world, Fire Hoof... So many things were running through her mind during that flight.

Author's Note

(I know this is a short chapter) What will happen between Bubblegum and Cisco? Will Bubblegum ever forgive Barry and go home? Find out in the next chapter... :eeyup:

Chapter Eighteen, Forgiving is something hard

Bubblegum was gone for about 3 hours now. She was still thinking about everything. She looked down and saw a person pointing a gun at her. Bubblegum was scared and she flew as fast as she could out of the area. She thought she was safe, but she saw him right underneath her. She flew clear to S.T.A.R. Labs to ask for help.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Meanwhile at S.T.A.R. Labs while Bubblegum was gone...

Barry rolls his hands through his hair. Cisco walks in the room angrily.

"Barry? Why did you do that?!"

"Because, There was no other choice."

"Well Bubblegum is extremely upset right now because of what you did."

"I didn't mean to get her upset..."

Bubblegum stormed in.

"GUYS! A PERSON IS TRYING TO SHOOT ME!"

Cisco sprints over to the computer.

"Oh gosh. Putting facility on lock down!"

Cisco went to go put the facility on lock down, but it didn't help. The guy that was shooting Bubblegum was already inside the building!

(The guy smirked)

"Why hello.... Bubblegum."

"How do you know my name?!"

"You already know me.... The person who trapped you here."

He morphs into The Shadow Alicorn.

(Catelin was scared)

"Is this Zoom?!" Catelin says as she looks at him in fear.

(Chuckles) "Well, I'm very close to him. But no. I am not Zoom."

Bubblegum rolls her eyes. "What do you want now, Shadow?"

(Chuckles again) "Oh nothing. I just came to tell you that your sweet, beloved Luna is trying to bring you back to Equestria. But what she doesn't know, is that I disabled you from leaving this place.... unless..."

"What do I do for you?!"

"I just need to tiny favor from you..."

"What is it?!"

"I want you, to become a pony in this dimension. if you do, I will give you great power. All that an alicorn like you, would ever want."

"Never! You can't tempt me!"

"Fine then.... I will just have to force you!"

Shadow then charges at Bubblegum with his magic and tries to shoot her. Bubblegum teleports over to the other side of the room. Shadow keeps on trying to shoot her, but she kept on teleporting.

(Growls) "HOW ABOUT YOU STAY IN ONE SPOT!"

"NO!"

Shadow still was trying to turn her into a pony. But Bubblegum kept dodging his attacks. Finally, Shadow has had enough! He aimed at her one more time waiting for her to teleport. Then, he used his magic on her when she stopped.

"AH!"

Bubblegum then flew across the room hurting her wings.

"BUBBLEGUM!"

Cisco ran towards Bubblegum.

"Are you OK?!"

(Groans and tries to get up) "Ow..."

"Oh no, don't try to get up, Bubblegum. You have hurt yourself too many times today."

(Laughs evilly) "Hahahahaha! Your transformation into a pony will start soon! And you will have ultimate power! MWAHAHAHAHA!"

(Catelin looks curiously looks at shadow)

"Wait a minute, why would you want HER to have ultimate power instead of of YOU?"

(Chuckles) "So that I can steal it from her."

Bubblegum tries to get up. "Why? I haven't even mastered my alicorn magic yet."

"When you do take control of it, I can take it from you. But, there's one thing..."

"What now?!"

"When you transform into pony, you will become a giantess."

(Barry looks confused) "A giantess?"

(Sighs irritatedly) "It's a giant pony, human, ext."

(Catelin gasped) "Do we need to get her out of here?!"

(Laughs) "You might want to when she figures out her magic..."

Bubblegum starts to feel funny. She puts her hands over her face and they turn into hooves. Then, the rest of the transformation started. Cisco, Barry, and Catelin were all three scared of what would happen to Bubblegum..... And a little disgusted.

Bubblegum is now a pony in a different universe. She didn't know what to think about this.... So, she started freaking out.

Cisco runs over to Bubblegum.

"Woah woah woah! Calm down, OK?!"

(Tries to calm down) "What will happen to me?!"

Cateline comes over. "I am sure nothing bad will happen."

(Laughs) "Well you assume wrong, Cateline." The Shadow Alicorn walks over to Bubblegum. "I will have your magic. And I will have it soon!"

Shadow disappears.

"Are you OK, Bubblegum?" Cisco says as he lightly touches her cheek.

Bubblegum nodded yes. Then Iris walks in the room noticing a pony with a horn and wings standing by Cisco.

"Um. What is that?" Iris says as she walks over to it.

Barry walks beside her. "That is supposed to be a..."

"A what?"

Barry suddenly feels a little embarrassed. "A.... Pony."

(Gasps) "A PONY?! OH MY GOSH IT'S SO CUTE!"

Iris walks over to Bubblegum and reaches her hand out to pet her. But Bubblegum knocked her hand back.

"Listen, Whoever you are. I have been through enough today. So, please, don't pet me."

Iris was suddenly freaked out by this. "D-Did that tiny horse just talk?!"

"OK. First of all, I'm a pony. Second of all, I used to be a human like you."

Iris was shocked. I pony turning into a human! How is that possible?! She thought to herself, "Maybe she could turn me into a pony or make me a super hero like Barry. But who knows if she would."

"Really?!"

"Yeah. Thats why I called you. She is from another world. Actually, two."

"How did you go through so many worlds?"

"A shadow-y figure alicorn."

"Oh..... Sorry."

"It's OK. it's not your guy's fault. Also, um, Iris was it? I was cursed by that, Shadow, and he made it to where if I learn how to control my magic, I would turn into a giantess."

"A giantess?"

"Yes. A human or pony that is giant."

"Oh. DON'T WE NEED TO GET YOU OUT OF HERE?!"

"No. I don't know how to correctly use my magic yet."

"OK. Phew."

Barry looks at Iris as Iris looks at him. They are still going out. They were going to have a romantic dinner and that was the whole reason Iris came.

"Well, I've got to be going." Says Barry as he was about to walk out the door.

"Where are you going? We've got to help Bubblegum out."

"Sorry, Cisco. But, me and Iris have a date tonight."

"Oh right. Well, me and Catelin will try to help her while you guys are on your date."

"OK. Thank you so much for letting Barry go out tonight, Cisco."

"Your welcome. You guys have a good time."

"You guys have a good time, too. Now, let's hit the road, Barry."

"OK. Ladies first."

Barry and Iris left out on their date while Catelin and Cisco are left with the dirty work... Helping a pony from another world find her way back. What could be better?

Cisco looks at Bubblegum.

"So, Bubblegum. Any chance you know what your doing?"

Bubblegum nods her head no.

Just when it couldn't get any better, a pony came flying through a portal and landed on top of Bubblegum.

"Ow! What the hay?"

"Bubblegum! I found you!"

Bubblegum looks up.

(Gasp) "Fire Hoof!"

Catelin and Cisco realized they had to take care of two ponies now! Cisco almost exploded, so he called Barry.

(Phone rings)

"Hello?"

"Barry, another pony just flew out of a portal!"

"Really?"

"Yes! Now, me and Catelin have to take care of two little horses!"

"I wish I could help but I'm on a date right now. I will help after."

"How long is your date?"

"About an hour."

"OK. bye."

"Bye."

(Phone beeps)

"Well, Barry won't be back until one hour."

"Dang-it. I wish he would've been here sooner."

"Yeah."

Bubblegum looks at Fire Hoof.

"So how did you come here?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Before Fire Hoof came to The Flashes world.....

Fire Hoof missed Bubblegum so much. He decided to go to Celestia for help.

(At Celestia's Castle)

"Fire Hoof, Are you sure you want to go and help save Bubblegum?"

"Yes."

"For everything you have here?"

"Yes."

"OK then."

Celestia uses a magical spell and sends Fire Hoof to The Flash world.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"So, Celestia Sent you here?"

"Yep."

"And it was all just to help me?"

Fire Hoof nodded his head yes and hugs Bubblegum.

"But I have 3 days until I have to go back with you to Equestria."

Catelin and Cisco look at each other.

"You only have 3 days? But, what about my friends here on this world?"

"You'll have to say goodbye."

Bubblegum almost started to cry.

"I-.... I need some time."

Bubblegum flew out the window and landed on the bench where her and Barry first met.

(A song started)

"She spins and she sways, to whatever song plays. Without a care in the world. And I'm sitting here wearing, the weight of the world on my, shoulders. It's been a long day, and there's still work to do. She's pulling at me saying, "Dad, I need you! There's a ball at the castle. And I've been invited. And I need to practice my dancing. Oh please. Daddy, please." So I will dance with, Cinderella. While she is here in my arms. Cause' I know, something the Prince never knew. Oh oh oh oh oh I will dance with, Cinderella. I don't wanna miss even one song. Cause' all too soon, the clock will strike, midnight. And she'll be gone. She says he's a nice. I'd be impressed. She wants to know if I approve of the dress. She says, "Dad, the prom is just one week away. And I need to practice my dancing. Oh please. Daddy, please!" So I will dance with, Cinderella. While she is here in my arms. Cause' I know, Something the Prince never knew! Oh oh oh oh oh oh I will dance with, Cinderella. I don't wanna miss even one song. Cause' all too soon, the clock will strike, midnight. And she'll be gone! But she came home today with a ring on her hand. Just glowing and telling, all they had planned. She says, " Dad, the wedding's still six months away, and I need to practice my dancing. Oh please. Daddy, please!" So I will dance with, Cinderella. While she is here in my arms. Cause' I know, Something the Prince never knew. Oh oh oh oh oh oh I will dance with, Cinderella. I don't wanna miss even one song. Cause' all too soon, the clock will strike, midnight. And she'll, be, gone."

(The song ended)

"What will I do? Pick Equestria, or stay here?"

Thoughts ran through her head about all of this. But the one thought that stayed the same, was, "How is all of this real?" She kept going over and over again about every single thought in her head. Until Fire Hoof finally found her.

"There you are, Bubblegum! Everyone's been worried sick about you!"

"How long has it been?"

"SIX HOURS!!!!!"

"WHAT?!"

"Until this guy named Barry said he might know where you are."

"Wait, Barry's already done with his date?"

"Barry has a date? OK. I don't strongly dislike him anymore."

"Why did you strongly dislike him in the first place?"

"Because I thought he was trying to take you away from me!"

"Hoofy! I would NEVER date another man when I'm already dating..... A pony. OR a human."

"Really?"

"Yes really. Should we go back to S.T.A.R. Labs?"

"Whats S.T.A.R. Labs?"

"The place where we just were."

"Oh.... Yeah. We should go back."

Bubblegum and Fire Hoof both flew back to S.T.A.R. Labs. Fire Hoof was still sort of worried Bubblegum was dating either Barry or Cisco. Even though he knew that she would NEVER lie. He had to figure it out on his own if she was or not in order to believe it.

(They enter S.T.A.R. Labs)

Cisco looks over and sees Bubblegum.

"So I see you guys are back. What did you do?"

"We had a talk on a bench."

"Oh. That ONE bench that Barry found you on?"

"Yeah."

Fire Hoof Looks over at Bubblegum and then at Barry. He just couldn't stop thinking about her dating him.

(Fire Hoof thinks) "Pfft. Their ship name isn't even good."

(Bubblegum thinks) "I need to make him believe that I'm NOT dating Barry!..... Or Cisco."

Barry comes back into the room with some Doritos.

(Crunching chip noises) "So. What did I miss?"

"Bubblegum has to go back to Equestria soon."

"Oh well I-I hope you had a good time here in Central City."

Fire Hoof looks at Bubblegum in a look that, "It's time to go" kind of look. Bubblegum's eyes filled up with tears as she runs towards Cisco and hugs him. After she said goodbye to all of them (by hugging them), she said, "OK" very softly. As Fire Hoof opens up the portal, Bubblegum looks back and says goodbye to all of Central City.

Author's Note

FINALLY DONE!!!! :pinkiehappy: Hope you enjoyed this chapter! If you wanna know what happens next, go to the next chapter.

Chapter Nineteen, Finally back in Equestria!!!

With Bubblegum finally back in Equestria, She sort of misses Central City. Even if she only had 3 true friends there, she misses them. Fire Hoof was glad to have her back and that made her happy. Seeing the main 6 again, her teacher, everyone! She especially couldn't wait to see Luna! She has so many lessons she has missed. But the problem is she would become a giantess if she did learn how to use her magic. That's what she was afraid of. Fire Hoof then looks at her tears and wipes them off her face.

"Bubblegum. I know your sad about leaving that place, but your here with me now."

"OK...."

Bubblegum started getting a headache and collapses.

"BUBBLEGUM!!! Hold on! I'll go get help!"

Fire Hoof quickly picks up Bubblegum and flies to Twilight. (Who doesn't know anything of what Celestia did.) He Makes it to Twilight castle just in time. She was about to go to sleep! Fire Hoof knocks on the door.

(Twilight's walking)

"I'm coming."

(She opens the door)

"Oh, Hi Fire Ho....."

Twilight looks at Bubblegum to see that she is in Fire Hoof's arms.

"Oh my Celestia! You got Bubblegum back! Is she sleeping?"

"NO! She collapsed out of nowhere so I took her to you!"

"Well come inside! I might know something that could help her!" Twilight says as she grabs Bubblegum with her magic and runs towards the library.

"I think this was.... No. Maybe it was.... No not that either."

As Twilight was throwing books left and right, Fire Hoof was so tired, he fell asleep! Of course he didn't mean to, he was too worn out. Twilight finally finds the book and goes over to Fire Hoof.

"Fire Hoof? Fire Hoof?..... FIRE HOOF!!!!!"

"HUH WHAT!"

"I found the book."

"OK. Now do the spell to wake her up."

"It's not that simple...." Twilight reads the book. "It says we need, Two Poison Joke plants...."

(Fire Hoof's Writing this down)

"....Three Dragon Tears, One Cat Claw, and....... OH MY CELESTIA!!!!!!"

"What?"

".....100 CRYSTAL BERRIES!!!!!"

"WHY IN THE NAME OF EQUESTRIA DO WE NEED 100 CRYSTAL BERRIES!?!?!?"

"Do you wanna save Bubblegum?"

(Fire Hoof nods yes)

"Then if the book says we need those, we need to get them."

"OK...."

Fire Hoof looks over at Bubblegum and notices that she's gotten as tall as Luna.

"Um Twi?...."

"I told you we need to get them."

"Bu...."

"No buts."

"No. Bubblegum is as tall as Luna!"

"Pfft. Only the HIGHEST level of alicorn can do tha...." Twilight looks. "OK.... Maybe she is..... WE NEED TO GET THESE THINGS BEFORE SHE WAKES UP!!!"

"YEAH!! But, with us yelling, she would probably wake up."

"Good point.... So I will go to get the two poison joke plants and the three dragon tears. You can go and get the cat claw."

"But who will get the 100 crystal berries?"

"Do you wanna save your girlfriend?"

"Yes."

"Then you can go get them. After I am done getting my stuff, I will come to help you."

"OK. But, would Bubblegum have to come with us?"

"I think so. I will take her with me. Let's go and get the things."

"OK."

Twilight used her magic to carry Bubblegum with her to the everfree forest to get the poison joke plants while Fire Hoof was out getting the cat claw. He may not know how to get one though, but if he wanted to save Bubblegum, he had to try.

Twilight walks into the everfree forest looking for the poison joke plants.

"Oh come on. They have to be here somewhere." Twilight looks down and sees all the poison joke plants. "Yes! Now, I just have to figure out how to carry the two of them...." She looks up at her horn. "Oh, Right." Twilight picks up two poison joke plants and heads to the dragon kingdom to find a dragon tear.

(meanwhile with Fire Hoof...)

"Geez. How am I supposed to get a cat claw?..." Fire hoof looks at a pet store. "Perfect..."

Fire Hoof walks in.

"Why hello there." Says the old pet store keeper. "I, PET, your here for the grooming?"

"Why um, yes. I am. I only do..." He then looks at a cat's paws. "...I only trim cat's claws."

"OK. But make sure not to hurt them."

(Fire hoof nods yes) Fire hoof goes over to the cat with hoof clippers and picks the cat up.

"I'm so sorry if I hurt you..." He whispers to the tabby cat. "Here goes nothing..."

Fire Hoof begins to clip the cat's claws and nothing happened. The cat was perfectly safe.

"Oh thank goodness. Now I can go to the Crystal Empire."

Fire Hoof then looks at the shop keeper. "Um, have a nice day. Bye."

He then left the building with the pet store owner very confused...

(Meanwhile with Twilight...)

Twilight had to dress like a stone again to find three dragon tears. It was very rough, but she made it through.

"Phew. That was close, Bubbles!"

Bubblegum is still asleep.

"I'm so sorry you have to deal with all of this from Shadow... If he never came, none of this would've happened. Your first visit to Ponyville has gone terribly wrong... I'm sorry."

Bubblegum begins to float as her eyes turn white. Her hooves begin to turn black and the blackness spreads across her body as her hair starts to turn white and flowing. And her body started to grow even taller than Celestia!

"What the hay is happening?!?!"

Twilight steps back as Bubblegum's body begins to stop floating with her hair white and flowing, her eyes white, and her body black. Her cutie mark was suddenly 10 bubblegum bubbles instead of three.

(deep voice) "What happened? I feel different..." Bubblegum looks down to see a tiny Twilight outside of a dragons nest. "Since when did you shrink?"

With Twilight's eyes widened in surprise, she had no words. All she could say was, "Bu- wha- can-?" She couldn't say a word unless it's half of one.

"OK "Tiny Twi", tell me what happened IN YOUR REAL WORDS."

(clears throat) "ME AND FIRE HOOF WERE TRYING TO FIND SOMETHING TO CURE YOU THEN YOU STARTED TO GROW AND WE NEEDED TO FIND SOMETHING TO HELP YOU STOP GROWING AND I FOUND SOMETHING IN MY LIBRARY AND WE READ IT AND IT SAID WE NEEDED SOME INGREDIENTS THAT WE THOUGHT WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE TO GET UNTIL I MADE A SUGGESTION THAT WE SHOULD SPLIT UP TO GET THE INGREDIENTS!" Twilight said as she takes a deep breath from talking so fast.

"WHAT?! YOU LEFT FIRE HOOF, ALONE?!"

(gulps) "Yes?...."

"THAT STALLION COULDN'T LAST A DAY ALONE!... Come on."

"Wait, where are we going?"

"To get Fire Hoof the company he needs."

"But, he won't recognize you."

"Well, I'll make him. Now come on!"

"OK..."

Twilight followed nine-foot tall, black, flowing hair, white eye'd Bubblegum as she tried going the way they came, but didn't know.

"So um, where are we supposed to go?"

"Ugh, I'll lead the way."

Twilight then began to lead the way towards the two places Fire hoof would be, either already getting the crystal berries, or still getting the cat claw.

(meanwhile with Fire Hoof...)

Fire Hoof walked happily with the cat claw in his hooves ready to go and get the 100 crystal berries. But as soon as he got to the other side of the sidewalk, a pony stepped in front of him.

"Well, well, well. What do we have here?" The pony said as he looked down at Fire Hoof's hooves.

"Um, a cat claw?... Why?"

"It interests me you hobo! Now hand it over!"

"No! It's for my love... Princess Bubblegum."

"Wait, your in love with a princess?"

"Yeah. She has the most beautiful neon blue hair with the most gorgeous blue eyes. And to top it all off, a beautiful hot pink coat..."

"Meh. Doesn't sound that pretty to me... Now hand over that claw!"

"Why?!"

"Because I want it!"

"Hmmm... Pretty good logic there... Hey, wanna know what I was thinking?"

"What?"

"I will give this to you."

"Really?"

"Yeah. Here, want it?" Fire Hoof puts it in front of him.

"Yes. Yes I do."

"Well ya wanna what I have to say about that?..." Fire Hoof then flies away from the earth pony trying to take his claw.

"COME BACK HERE WITH MY CLAW!!!!" The pony shouted.

"Ha. Sucker..." Fire Hoof continued to fly away and head to the crystal empire to get the berries.

(meanwhile with Twilight and Bubblegum...)

Bubblegum and Twilight made it to the pet store, but didn't see Fire Hoof.

"Hmm..." Twilight thinks for a second. "Maybe he already left to the Crystal Empire..."

"Maybe. But, I'm now hearing what your saying."

"About what?"

"About Fire Hoof seeing me like this. I don't know what he would think..."

Bubblegum then turns back to normal but is still tall.

"Bubblegum!"

"What?"

"Your back to normal! I guess it was just temporary!"

"YAY!..." Bubblegum looks down to figure out she is still tall. "Oh. I guess I'm still tall though."

"Yeah but at least he won't see you like that ever again!" Twilight just thought about Shadow. "Wait a second... What if Shadow turned you into that!"

"Yeah! That makes perfect sense!"

As soon as Bubblegum got done saying that, a bright light started to flash above her.

"Um Twi?"

"I mean, he could've either put a spell on you or..."

"TWILIGHT!"

"...Oh sorry. You were saying?"

As Bubblegum took in a deep breath, about to talk, a tan pony with brown hair, and two other ponies that were tan with one with black, straight, short hair, and the other with strawberry blonde red hair fell out of this light. And they all three fell on Bubblegum.

"Ow!..."

One of the tan ponies got up. "I'm so sorry... Wait a moment... Bubblegum!?"

"How do you know my name? Hold on..." Bubblegum recognized this pony from a certain place. She remembered Cisco from The Flash dimension and put two and two together. "CISCO?!" Bubblegum said as she got up to hug him. "How did you get here?"

"Well..."

(1 day ago in The Flash dimension...)

"I'm starting to miss Bubblegum..." Cisco groaned.

"Cisco, it's been an hour since she left."

"I know..."

Caitlin remembers the past week.

"You were really attached to her, huh?"

"Yeah. She the only perso- I mean pony that really understood me. Even if we didn't talk that much."

Caitlin had an idea. "Remember that time Barry went to earth 2 when you created that potal?!"

"Yeah. Why?"

"What if you can create a portal to this, "Equestria", and find her?!"

"You know what, your right. If I can create a portal to earth 2, I can surly make a portal to Equestria!"

"Let's do this!" Caitlin said as she handed Cisco his glasses.

"Wait, should we tell Barry?"

"Yeah your right. We should... Or... We can call him and he'll be here in a second."

(Caitlin calls Barry.)

Barry picks up his phone. "Hello?"

"Hey Barry, me and Cisco are gonna go to Equestria. Wanna come?"

"No tha- wait, isn't that where Bubblegum is?"

"Yeah. Cisco's gonna see if he can make a portal to her dimension since technically earth 2 is a dimension, we both think he can do it."

"OK. I will come but, if I'm a little horse, I will be so upset. So when are you guys gonna start up the portal?"

"Well, we're gonna try it right now. Just for a tester."

"OK. But when you guys get it, call me, k?"

"OK. Bye." Caitlin hangs up.

"Bye."

Cisco looks at Caitlin like he's about to burst out laughing.

"What?"

Cisco then starts to laugh his head off (metaphor). "I quote from Barry, OK. I will come but, if I'm a little horse, I will be so upset." Cisco starts to laugh more.

"How is that funny?"

"It's not funny to you?"

"No. It just sounded a bit weird."

"EXACTLY!" Cisco wipes his tears from his eyes...

(Meanwhile in Equestria...)

"...And so after that, me and Caitlin started to work on the portal and called Barry when we were done. And here we are now."

Barry looks at himself and then nudges Caitlin.

"Ow what was that for?"

"I'm a tiny horse..."

"Why would you blame it on me? I didn't turn you into one."

"Because you were the one on the phone with me. Just like if Cisco was on the phone with me, I would've nudged him."

"It makes sense, just, how about you don't nudge anyone. OK?"

"OK..."

Cisco takes a better look at Bubblegum and sees that she is now nine ft tall. "Um Bubbles?"

"Yeah Cisco?"

"Why are you so tall? Wait, is this Shadow's work?"

"Yeah. He also, a couple minutes ago, made me into a black mare with white eyes and white flowing hair."

"Wow. That must suck. Is there anything we can do to help?"

Twilight buts in. "Well, me, Bubblegum, and Fire Hoof are looking for something to help her. It's in my book."

Cisco looks at the cover. "Wait, there's books about this kind of stuff in Equestria?"

"Yep. I have a whole library about them. If ya wanna look?"

"Um no thanks. I will just go with Bubblegum to help Fire Hife."

"Hoof."

"Fire Hoof. Sorry."

"It's OK. he gets name mix-ups all the time.... Sometimes."

"Oh, well let's go help Bubblegum's brother!"

"Um, he's Bubblegum's colt-friend."

"Is that another word for boyfriend here in Equestria?"

"Yup :)."

"Oh, OK."

Bubblegum butted in. "Well, let's go and help Fire Hoof now. We won't want to keep him waiting."

"OK."

So all five of them went to the Crystal Empire to help Fire Hoof collect all the berries.

(Meanwhile with Fire Hoof...)

"Almost got 50 berries! (sighs) Now, just 50 more..."

As Fire Hoof continues to collect the berries, Twilight, giant Bubblegum, Cisco, Caitlin, and Barry all come running up to him.

"Fire Hoof!" Bubblegum says as she runs towards him.

"Bubblegu-... WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU!? WHY ARE YOU SO TALL?!"

"Wow... What every girl LIVES to hear... Shadow did this to me!"

"That son of a gun! Sorry about the rude hello."

"It's OK. If I were you, I'd say the same thing. Anyways, we're gonna help you with the berries. How many do you lack?"

"50."

"OK. With Barry, Caitlin, and Cisco here with Twilight to help you, we can get this done in a sinch!"

"Well, Bubblegum?"

"Yes?"

"After whats happened over the past few days, I kind of don't want you to help..."

"WHAT?! WHY?!"

"Because I'm afraid you'll get hurt."

"By picking berries? Really?"

"I jus-... I just don't want you to help OK? Now sit by that bush. And the rest of us, since I lack only 50, we'll collect 10 a piece. NOW GO!"

As the others begin to collect the rest of the berries, Bubblegum's upset because she feels like nobody trusts her to do anything.

"(sighs) Why won't they let me help?..." Bubblegum begins to grow half the size of a tree. "No no no no no no no! Stop it! I don't want the others to find out!"

As soon as she said that, Her shadow cast over the others. They soon look at Bubblegum with surprise and shock.

"Hehe.... Hi..."

Author's Note

Long chapter right? Stay tuned for chapter 20! The greatest chapter of all! OK, chapter 20 will have Bubblegum's Adventure fans ideas in it and some of my own! Hope you all comment on this so I know. Thank you! :pinkiehappy:

Chapter Twenty, Giants aren't ALWAYS jerks!

Everyone stars in awe as Bubblegum started to grow into a giant.

"Oh my Celestia! Bubblegum, what happened?!" Twilight said, as she looks from bottom to top of Bubblegum.

"All I did was sit down and I started growing. Do you think I will get bigger? If so, we aol need to run!"

"I don't know. But we can't take any chances. We have to hurry and get this stuff!"

All of the others agreed.

"I don't know what to do if I get bigger. What if, I'm bigger than equestria?!"

"Listen, Bubblegum, we'll find a way to heal you and help you not to grow. And if this doesn't work, we can always see if the princesses know what to do. Don't panic, it might get worse if you do."

"Ok. I won't panic. Even though I'm almost as big as a tree!" Bubblegum then realized she was panicking so she took tv's deep breaths. "That's better."

Twilight turns to Barry, Caitlin, Cisco, and Fire Hoof. "Remember guys, 100 berries. How many do we have now, Fire Hoof?"

(Fire Hoof counts) "59, ma'am."

"Ok. All we need to get is 41. Let's get got pickin'. Barry, you get 9. Caitlin, 10. Cisco, 10. Fire Hoof, 10. And I'll get 10 more. C'mon we've gotta hurry hurry hurry!"

(All four of them) "Yes Ma'am!"

As all of them are picking the berries that they need to, Bubblegum is feeling, helpless. She feels like, even though their helping HER, she wants to help THEM also.

(Sigh) "I just wish that I could help them. I mean, I just wanna have at least something to help with..." As Bubblegum said that, her hooves started to turn black again. "No no no no no no no! Not again!" Bubblegum uses her magic to stop it. And it works. "Yes! Wait a minute, didn't Shadow say that's when I learn to use my magic, I would grow? (Gulp) HE DID! Oh no! I learned a new spell! I'll grow more! I have to hide out ponies will think I'm a monster! Aha! I'll teleport away from here! Wait, that would be using my magic... Ugh, WAIT WILL I DO?!"

The others got done picking berries.

"Ok, it took us a while but, we finally got them." Twilight says as she turns to Bubblegum. "Ok, Bubblegum. I'm gonna ask Zecora if she can mix these ingredients up, and make the cure!"

"Yay!"

Since Bubblegum had used her magic to help the blackness, her hind hoof started to twitch.

"Uh, Twilight?"

"Yes?"

"My hoof is twitching."

"Why?"

"Idk."

Bubblegum's hoof started to grow slowly. And the rest of her body started to grow slowly also.

"Oh no..."

Bubblegum tried putting her other hooves on the parts of her body that were growing.

"Why isn't it stopping?!"

She grew taller than the biggest tree in the crystal empire and just kept growing.

"Wait, wouldn't it have stopped by now?!"

"Quick!" Twilight says as she points at the others. "We must hurry and get to Zecora's!"

As the others nodded their heads, they all started to run. Except for Bubblegum. She knew that if she tried running by how big she is now, that she would shake the ground.

"C'mon Bubblegum! We don't have any time to waste!"

"I can't! I'm STILL growing and if I walk or run, I would shake the ground and cause the ponies here to be frightened. Just go without me and come back when you have the cure."

"What if you teleport?"

"I would just grow more. Go now!"
"Ok..."

Twilight begins to run towards the train station with the others before the train left. But before she left, she took one last look at Bubblegum. She jumped on the train right when it was leaving.
As Bubblegum was watching as they left, a crystal pony walked up to the bushes with a basket to collect berries. The crystal pony looked at the shadow casing over her and looked up to see a giant Bubblegum.

"AHHHHHH!!!!" The crystal pony screams with terror.

"Huh?" Bubblegum looks down to see a tiny figure screaming. "Wait, no. Don't fear me! Somebody did this to me!"

The pony ran to the crystal empire to tell the others about Bubblegum. Of course Bubblegum was guilt tripping herself about it. But it really WAS her fault. If she never got curious and went into the cave to find that mirror, this would've never happened.

(face palms) "Stupid stupid stupid!..."

(Meanwhile with the others...)

Twilight keeps looking out the train window hoping Bubblegum is OK.

(sigh) "Do you think Bubblegum's OK, Cisco?"

"Yes. Even if she's all alone, near a bush, where the whole empire could just walk over there and see her, get attacked..."

"OK, OK! I'm gonna flipping stop you right there!"

"I was just stating the obvio-..."

"I DON'T REALLY CARE!" (exhales) "Fire Hoof, state your opinion on the fact we all had to leave Bubblegum near the empire."

"Well, my thoughts are.... WHY THE HAY DID WE ALL HAVE TO GO INSTEAD OF AT LEAST ONE OF US STAYING WITH HER?!"

"Good point... Ya know what?"

"What?"

"How about I teleport one of you there back to the crystal empire to keep an eye on Bubblegum?"

"I'll do it!" Barry insisted. "I mean, I AM The Flash so I could just carry the ponies who are coming near the bushes out of the way."

"Um, what's a "Flash?"..."

"You-you've never heard of The Flash?!"

(Twilight shook her head)

(Cisco butted in) "(clears throat) Barry is a forensic scientist. Two years ago, a particle accelerator exploded when a storm was going on. All the internet was shut off because of the lightning. All the water was coming through ceiling window so Barry decides to go over there and pull on the chain to fix it. When he does that, UH OH, lightning struck Barry and he was in a coma for nine months. When he got out of his coma, he discovered he had super-speed and became, The Flash." (Cisco sits back down)

"I didn't need to know the whole story, but OK, Barry. Your gonna be teleported."

"OK."

Twilight uses her horn to make Barry teleport over to Bubblegum.

"Now that he's gone, we have to get off the train. We're already here..."

(Meanwhile with Bubblegum and Barry...)

(Barry appears)

"OK. So, that was weird feeling."

"Barry? I thought you were with the others?"

"I was but Twilight teleported me here..." Barry looks up to see a 50 foot tall Bubblegum who was still in a sitting position. "Uh...."

"Yes. I know. I'm extremely tall.... Are the others there yet?"

"Almost. I insisted that I should come here to help you."

"Well good."

"What do you mean?"

"A pony came over here, saw me, screamed, and ran towards the crystal empire. So, I'm thinking they wanna kill me. Can ya do anything 'bout that?"

"Nope and WHAT?! WHY DID YOU SIT HERE?! Wait, that was a dumb question to ask..."

After they had their tiny conversation, a group of ponies come over with torches and pitch forks.

"We don't want you here, beast!" A crystal pony as they throw their pitch fork and miss.

"Listen, Shadow, the alicorn, cast a spell on me and made a giantess!"

"We're not gonna believe anything you say!"

"You know, I was here once before. You saw me!"

"Well I-... THAT DOESN'T MATTER ANYMORE!"

"...Seriously?..."

The ponies started to throw all sorts of weapons at Bubblegum.

"OW!"

Barry looked concerned and worried for Bubblegum.

"Come on, Barry. Let's see if I still have my speed on this earth."

With his eyes flashing with lightning, Barry speeds to grab everyone's weapon's out of mid air. Then goes to grab the rest out of their hooves.

(A pony looks around) "Hey! Where are my weapons!?"

"Mine are gone, too!"

Barry interrupted their yelling. "Listen... Don't you all hear how foolish you all are? Did she ever come near the empire?"

(All of them shook their heads)

"Then tell me why, again, that your throwing spears, pitch forks, and torches at her? She never did anything to you."

"Hmm... I never thought about it that way..." Said a pony from the clear back, as she started walking towards the front. "I think this is wrong. I don't know if any of you stand with me, but I stand with... This brown headed pony!"

Barry started to look at her strangely. "Kara?..." He whispers, as he starts to walk up to her. "K-Kara?! H-how did you come here!?"

"Um, how do you know my name? I've never met you."

"On your earth. I saved you from that skyscraper."

"Uh, I was born in Equestria."

"P-please Kar-"

"Barry! It's not her!" Bubblegum interrupted. "Everything in Equestria is different. She isn't the Kara you think she is!... Or whatever Kara you think she is. But anyways, this is 'pony' Kara. The 'human' Kara is back on her earth."

"Well, she's not human."

"Then, what IS she?"

"She's an alien."

"A-a what?"

"An alien. She became Supergirl a couple years after she'd been sent to earth."

"Th-thats' so cool!"

"Oh shut up!," Said the head of the pony army. "We don't have time for this non-sense! We have to destroy her!"

"No we don't!" A voice said from behind them. "Bubblegum! Thank goodness your OK!... I see you didn't take much effort into, 'Try to keep everypony away from you' thing."

"Twilight! Also, I'm sorry."

"I know, I know. You couldn't stop it. Anyways, we've got the cure!"

"Really?! That's amazing!"

"Yeah! With the help of Zecora, we got it!"

"wait, there's a cure for this? I thought she was born this way." Kara interrupts rudely.

"What? No."

"Oh OK."

Twilight tried to fly all the way to the top of her to give her the antidote. "You'll turn back to normal if you drink this. I know it might taste disgusting, but it's out only hope."

Bubblegum picks it up with her magic and drinks it.

"That actually didn't taste so bad."

Bubblegum then started to turn back to normal.

"YAY!"

Author's Note

Stay tuned for the next chapter.

Chapter Twenty-one, back to normal???

"Yes! I can't believe it worked!" Bubblegum says as she prances with cheer.

"Me niether! I was kind of doubting it would! But once it worked, I felt really glad you were OK! OH MY CELESTIA!"

"What?"

"Pricncess Luna will be so happy to see you! Come on. Let's go to the castle!" Twilight suggested.

"I don't know. It's getting kind of dark. Don't you think we should probably go home and get some rest?"

"Not with Luna waiting for you!"

"OK."

They all headed toward Canterlot with a lot on their hooves about what's been going on. Bubblegum just couldn't wait to see Luna, but, with it being this late, and what JUST happened, she didn't think it was a very good idea.
They all got on the train to canterlot but by the time they got there, Celestia was just about to raise the sun. But while they were on the train, no-pony talked to each other. They were just going to stay quiet the whole time.
When they got to Canterlot, Princess Celestia greeted them with a smile and said to come inside.

"Why hello, Twilight. I was just about to raise the sun. Would you like to watch?"

"Certainly! Oh, I brought some friends if you don't mind?"

"Of course no-..." Princess Celestia stopped as she started to talk. What did she see? She saw Bubblegum walk up beside Twilight. "Bubblegum? Your still alive?!"

"Why would I be dead?"

Celestia came in for a short hug. "Imagine how happy Luna will be when she sees you!"

"Yeah..."

Celestia looks confused. "What's wrong?"

(Sigh) "After Shadow captured me and sent me to another dimension, I was there for a couple of days until he came back and says he would make me, a giantess. After I got back, I started to grow until Twilight, Cisco, Barry, Caitlin, and Fire Hoof got the cure from Zecora and turned me back to normal. I'm still afraid it's a part of me."

"Oh Bubblegum! I know for a fact it's not a part of you! Your like Luna. She thought that Nightmare Moon was still a part of her. So she created the Tanatabus. But I know you and her would do anything for your ponies, your friends, even your family. Now go and see your mentor. She'll be so happy!"

After that heart-warming momment, Bubblegum and Celestia were crying. Bubblegum jumped in for a hug.

"Thank you! I'm gonna go now."

Bubblegum started running towards Luna's bedroom. She heard weeping from outside the door. She knocked.

"GO AWAY CELESTIA! I TOLD YOU I WANT TO BE LEFT ALONE!"

Bubblegum sighed with nervousness. "Actually, it's not Celestia..."

Bubblegum opened the door to her mentors bedroom. Luna looked behind her as her eyes widened with delight as she saw her student, Bubblegum, standing at the door.

"BUBBLEGUM!" She ran up to hug her. "What happened?! I was so worried!"

Bubblegum explained everything about having met new friends, getting messages from Twilitght and Fire Hoof, especially when she became a giantess.

"I see... Bubbegum, I am happy for you."

"Why?"

"Because you had faith that you would get back home to Equestria safely. We thought that thou would be scared, but obviously not."

"I DID have faith. I wanted to see my family again, my friends... I couldn't just leave them!"

"Follow me, Princess."

Luna lead Bubblegum to her and Celestia's basement.

"Go through that mirror. I will go with you."

"Anything you say, mentor."

Bubblegum slowly went through the mirror with Luna following closely behind her. She suddenly found herself in a space-looking room with a blue background and lots of stars.

"Where am I, Princess Luna?"

"I heard from Tia that, when Twilight became an alicorn, she took her here. Turns out, I had my own portal to this place."

"But why am I here? I'm already an alicorn."

(Song starts)

"You've come such a long, long way. And I've watched you from that day you came. To see how you might grow, to see what you might do, to find out what you've been through, and all the ways you've made me proud of you. It's time now for a new change to come. You've grown up, and your new life has begun. To go where you will go, to see what you will see, to find what you will be, for it's time for you to fulfill your true destiny."

Bubblegum started floating as light surrounded her. If she was already an alicorn, why would she be needing this? Luna knew what she was going to do. But why didn't she at least tell Bubblegum to let her at least be prepared? Suddenly, Bubblegum's cutie mark appeared in the sky as Twilight, Fire Hoof, Cisco, Barry, Caitlin, and Luna (who teleported) stand in a foramtion as Twilight realizes it reminds her of the time she became an alicorn. They all stare and watch as Bubblegum finally comes down with a blinding light shining in everyone's eyes.

"B-Bubblegum?" Cisco tries to look but obviously can't see.

All of a sudden, when the light dimmed, Bubblegum fell to the ground as Cisco went to help her up.

"Are you OK, Bubblegum?"

"I think so."

As Cisco was helping Bubblegum up, he saw that she had a dark blue crown, shoes, and a necklace. Then, he realized that her cutie mark was glowing.

"Uh Bubblegum..."

Cisco pointed with his head at her mark/flank. Bubblegum saw it, too. She looked up at Luna for her to explain.

"Princess Bubblegum, You've been in Equestria for several weeks now and, I wanted you to feel more special so that you could fit in. I know how you hurt. I've been there before. And now, since your cutie mark is glowing, your now connected to the cutie map."

"The cutie what?"

"The cutie map came with Twilight's castle when she saved Equestria from Tirek. She uses it to help her and her friends solve friendship problems since she's the Princess of Friendship."

(Twilight butts in) "Wait, she's now a part of the cutie map? How is that even possible?"

"With the help of thy sister, we made it possible."

Barry, Caitlin, and Cisco realized they needed to get home (Back to their world).

"Well, Bubblegum and everyone else that I don't know, we need to be getting back to Central City in case anyone's worried about us." Barry says as he and Caitlin walk up to her and Cisco. "Plus I AM a super-hero. I need to save anyone that's in danger or stop some meta's."

"I understand, Barry. It was nice to have met you all. I don't know how I would've survived in that world, or universe as you like to call it, without you. Thanks."

"You are very welcome. Cisco, Caitlin? You ready to head back?"

As they both nodded yes, Cisco, Barry, and Caitlin gave Bubblegum one last hug before they were almost ready to go. But while Cisco put on his glasses and was about ready to go, Bubblegum ran over to them.

"You'll be able to visit every now and then, right?"

Cisco looks at Bubblegum. "Maybe. If we're not too busy." He smiled.

"I DON'T THINK EVER AGAIN..." Said a destorted voice behind them. It was Shadow! "Not on my watch!"

Author's Note

Sorry so short but I was trying to end the chapter as quickly as possible. But, stay tuned for the next chapter! :pinkiehappy:

Chapter Twenty-Two, Trapped

Shadow begins to charge at all of them. Bubblegum attacks Shadow.

"(Spits) Your good, Bubbles. But not that good."

Shadow hurls a fist up to Bubblegum when another light in the sky happens.

"Huh?" Bubblegum looks as she gets punched. "OW!"

She hurls a fist back at him when a person came down and, with his gun, shoots Shadow.

"Ah!" He grunts as he heads towards the pony who shot him. But, he missed. The pony with the gun shot him until he finally left.

The pony looked at Cisco, Barry, and Caitlin.

"Why are you all here?! Central City's in a lot of danger!"

Suddenly, they recognized him. It was Harrison Wells!

"Harry?! How did you-..."

"Get here? Your portal was still open, Ramon."

"Oh. I guess I forgot to close it."

Barry looks at Cisco. "Really?"

"Well, looks you have quite the attitude today, Barry."

"OK, enough fighting you two! We need to get back to Earth-2!"

Shadow was hiding behind a bush the whole time. He heard the whole conversation!

"I don't think your going anywhere!"

Shadow went directly to the portal and closed it without a second thought!

"Now, you'll never go home!"

Shadow disappeared into the darkness of the dusk.

"NO!"

Cisco then looks at Bubblegum. "I guess we're staying here longer than we had hoped..."

After he said that, a pony that looked familiar running towards them. It was Mohawk! He ran from the Crystal Empire to see Twilight and the others because he saw what happened.

"Guys! What the heck happened back at the empire?!" Mohawk says as he's out of breath.

"Um... I tured into a giant..." Bubblegum says quietly.

"YOU TURNED INTO A GIANT?!"

"Yes?...."

Mohawk stood in silence for a moment.

"Cool."

Everyone stood in question. Barry used his speed while everyone was questioning Mohawk to go and run for a moment to let out his feelings of just leaving Iris there. But then he remembered something, Cisco can use his powers to make another portal! He ran back to ask if he could.

"Hey Cisco?"

"Yes?"

"Don't you think that maybe you could re-open the portal? I mean, you opened it from our world. Why can you not do the same thing here?"

"Your right. But, we don't know if it will work."

"How come we can't try? I mean, we can't just leave everyone on our earth unprotected! What about Joe, Iris, Wally... Everyone?!"

"Listen, Barry. You don't need to act like that right now, OK? I didn't say I'm not gonna do that. I said that I might not know if it'll work. I can still try."

"OK..."

Cisco puts on his glasses and, since he no longer has a hand, he puts his hoof in front of him to open a portal. He was doing it for a second. But then, something struck him as his eyes flashed green for 2 seconds as he immediately.

"I-I'm sorry I can't do this!"

He began to run the opposite direction he was standing.

"Cisco!" Bubblegum yelled as he was already far away from them. "(Sigh) How do you guys go from earth to earth and world to world?"

"With Cisco." Caitlin answered.

"OK, why did he freak out?"

"I'm not sure. I saw a flash of green light come from his black and blue glasses. Maybe they were just malfunctioning."

"I doubt that." Harry joins in. "I think somethings happening to him."

"How would you know? I mean, he wasn't acting like this when we left."

"I think, it's because he's been on this earth or world now. Being whatever the heck these things are might be changing him in some mental way that you might not even know about."

"So, what your saying is, Cisco is, changing?"

"Yes."

"In what way?"

"I'm not sure." Harry turns to Luna. "Do you have computers here?"

"We do not have this 'computer' thou speakest of."

"Great. Do you at least have phones?"

Luna shook her head.

"Do you have any type of technology?"

"We have one kind. We call them, 'libraries'"

"You've got to be kidding."

"Nope."

Harrison looked in between ticked off and sarcastic. He turned to the rest of them.

"Now, since you all decided to go all, 'lone wolf' over here, we have no way back home, your friend is changing, and a monster is after to kill and destroy. Great job."

Bubblegum looked at Barry as he looks back at her and nods.

"Should you go after him Barry?"

"Of course. If we want Cisco back."

His eyes flashed with lightning as he crouched down a bit and started to run. He searched everywhere and found him on a bridge to the town hall. Barry quickly picked him up and put him on his back as he runs back to the others.

"Found him."

Barry lays Cisco on the ground as he looks around.

"Dude, what the heck?! That's not friendship!"

"Cisco," Harrison said. "we need you over here. While you were opening the portal back to our earth; what happened?"

"I-I don't know, I-.... just felt like something wasn't right."

"Like what, darling?"

A voice from behind them says, as it begins to get louder and more firm. It was Rarity! One of Twilight's friends.

"Twilight, how come you never introduced me to your new friend here?"

"Um, because I.... didn't have the time?"

"Oh darling," Rarity says coming closer. "you had all the time in Equestria after we got Bubblegum back."

"Uh, not really." Twilight looks at Barry, Cisco, and Caitlin. "I've actually benn PRETTY busy with everything happening."

"Well, he has on the wrong attire, sweetheart! What is he wearing? Actually, what are they all wearing?"

Barry was wearing a white T-shirt, Cisco was wearing a black T-shirt with pancakes on the front, and Caitlin was wearing a turtle neck sweater.

"Why, they look absolutely ridiculous!"

"Wow thanks!" Cisco whispers, sarcastically.

A couple more voices come from behind them. Some saying, "(yawn) Why are we up this late?" and others saying, "Oh stop complaining!" It turns out to be Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, and Fluttershy.

"Oh yay, more people; NOT." Says Harry as he straightens his gun more proper on his shoulder.

"Twilight," Says Rainbow as she flies a bit closer. "why are you up so la-..." She looks at all the ponies as Bubblegum waves 'hi'. "Oh. Nevermind..." Rainbow wipes her eyes.

Fire hoof leans towards Bubblegum to give her a kiss as Cisco looks unhappy as his eyes flash a darker shade of green.

"So, who are all of you?" Asks Caitlin, pointing her hoof at Fluttershy.

"Well, I'm Applejack, that there is Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, and Fluttershy."

"Hi..." Fluttershy says as she flies lower to the ground and puts her hooves on the dirt.

"Oh, why do you all have those names? They're not that common where we come from."

"Well where do ya come from?" Pinkie says, breaking the dimensional barrier; popping up out of Caitlin's mane.

"Central City." Caitlin says as she steps out of Pinkie Pie's way when she falls.

"I'vmph neber eard uh dat pace!" Pinkie says, her face buried in the dirt. She gets back up. "Where is it?"

"Well, I'm not sure how to explain that part..."

"I'll do it." Cisco says, coming closer. "You see, we're from another dimension known as 'Earth 1.' We used my powers to get here."

Pinkie Pie looks confused. "Do you mean magic?"

"No. Where we come from, there's these people with powers called meta-humans. Or, as we like to call them, meta's."

"Ah! I see! So let's say this pen is a pony. This pen got super powers. Now, let's say this apple is an earth or dimension." Pinkie Pie puts the pen into the apple. "Now, this pen is inside the apple or earth. Am I correct?"

"Um, for some weird reason, yes. You basically are. But that's not all to it. They don't get the same powers, they all get different ones. Except the marvin brothers. Since their flesh and blood, they most probably got the same."

"Is their anyway you can MAKE a pony have super powers?"

"No. They all have super powers because of a particle accelerator explosion that Eobard Thawne, that disguised himself as Harrison Wells for who knows how long, created to make The Flash stronger and faster then kill him."

Now everyone looked confused as they looked at each other.

"So y'er tellin' m'ay that y'er from another universe?" Applejack said, pointing at Harry, Barry, Cisco, and Caitlin.

"Basically. And now, Ramon (Pronounciation, Ruh mone), you have to get us back."

Cisco looked with wide eyes. "M-me? (Scoffs) I-I'm not so sure about that."

"CISCO!" Harrison said, "YOU'VE DONE THIS BEFORE! WHY CAN'T YOU DO IT NOW?!"

"I don't know!"

"YES YOU DO! A HUMAN DOES WHAT A HUMAN WANTS TO DO!"

"WELL I'M NOT HUMAN AT THE MOMMENT, OK?!" Cisco sighs. "Look, Harry, I just... Barry?"

"Hmm?"

"Can I speak to you in private?"

"Yeah sure." Barry uses his speed to pick up Cisco and run to the town hall once again. "So what's up?"

"Well, know about me and Bubblegum already_..."

"Of cour-.... Can you not do this because you like her?"

"What?! (Scoffs) N'no..."

"Yes you do! You've had a crush on her ever since she came into S.T.A.R. Labs!"

"But she already has a 'colt-friend.' What am I to do? Protest my love and break them apart? I don't want to do that."

Barry chuckles. "Oh old Cisco. Doing what he does best: be a good friend." He nudges him.

Cisco laughs a bit. "I think I might be able to do it as long as-...." Cisco starts to feel a sharp pain in his rib cage as his nose starts bleeding and he falls to the ground; unconcious.

"Cisco!" Barry picked him up and brought him to the others. "Guys!" Everybody turned around. "Cisco's nose is bleeding! He just fell to the ground as he clutched his rib cage!"

Caitlin moves everyone out of the way. She looks up at Luna. "Do you have a hospital?"

Luna nodded.

"Where is it?"

"Follow me and I'll show you." Luna starts running as Caitlin and the others follow; Twilight holding Cisco with her magic.

They all rushed to the hospital after a tragic mishap. Fighting Shadow, Cisco, and Central City that they still need to get back to!
They got to the hospital at the right time.
Cisco woke up to the sound of a beeping heartbeat monitor.

"Where am I?" He faintly whispered.

"Cisco, your going to be alright." Says the nurse, as she finishes wrapping his leg.

"Why is my leg hurt?"

"Your firends said that, when you fell from your nose bleeding and clutching your hoof to your rib cage, your weight toppled over on your hindleg."

He groans as he sits up right. "Where are they?"

"They said they would come back when your awake and for me to call them when you do."

"Wait, there are no phones here. So how would yo-..." Cisco recognises this person as his sight is no longer blury. "Caitlin?"

"You guessed it, Cisco. I need to contact them right now."

"OK. Thanks."

"Your welcome. Anything for a friend. But before I call them, what did it feel like when your eyes glowed green, your nose was bleeding, and when your rib cage started to act up?"

"Well, when my eyes started glowing green, I felt... depressed; sad. Like when you see your best friend have a girlfriend or boyfriend kind of sad. I felt happy for her, but sad at the same time. When my nose bled, I saw everything. Like vibed everything that ever exsisted. When my rib cage hurt, it was because of me vibing."

"Thank you for your information, Mr. Ramon."

"Please never call me that again."

"Oh alright!" Caitlin giggled a bit as she left the room to contact everyone.

Cisco lay in his bed with a smile on his face while shaking his head. But, while he was shaking his head, he saw a glass of water siting on the night stand. He reached to get some water, until it started shaking and almost falling off the stand. He quickly pulled his hoof back as it stopped. He questioned it as he did once more to see if it was him. And it was! He reached over and the glass fell off the night stand.
Caitlin heard the noise and came as quickly as possible (AQAP).

"What was that?" As soon as she said it, she saw the water glass on the floor. "You think knocking over glass is funny?"

"What? No! I just-.... (Sigh) I reached over and it started shaking. So I tried it again and it fell. And I didn't touch it."

Caitlin looked in question as, when he pointed his hoof to the trophy on the shelf as it started shaking.

"How are you doing that?"

"I'm not sure. But I'd wish we'd figured out soon. Especially with Barry and the others fighting a monster called 'Shadow' out there."

Caitlin took her clip-board and wrote on it (using her mouth).

"Maybe we can figure something out about why your feeling like this."

"Maybe..."

"Goodnight Cisco."

Caitlin walked out of the room as she shuts off the light.

Chapter Twenty-Three, Love is a Hot Thing

During the night, Cisco heard a loud noise as if pots and pans were being thrown wround in a kitchen. It wakes him up as he unplugs the medical devises and walks upstairs to see a pony dressed in a black suit rumaging through the drawers in the lobby.

"Hey!"

The pony turns around and gasps.

"What are you doing?!"

It then left, escaping through the door.
Cisco had a blank expresion on his face as he then gets a sharp pain in his leg. He looks down to see an axe was stuck in his skin.

"AHHHHH!" He shrieks in pain as he falls to the ground. He begins to see Caitlin running towards him as his eyesite then blurs.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Meanwhile with Bubblegum and the others...

"Ok let's talk strategy. Since Cisco isn't here right now, it's the only reason we're here at 2:00 AM in the morning."

"Um, Barry?"

"Yes Bubblegum?"

"We're the only two here since the others are asleep."

"I know that."

"Then, shouldn't we talk strategy when everyone's awake so you don't have to repeat it?"

(Silence)

"Well, now that you say it... Yeah. I think we should. Goodnight."

Barry then quickly took off his suit and got in his bed as Bubblegum did the same (besides the suit part). Then, Caitlin came running through the door. Barry then woke up.

"Barry! Cisco's got an axe stuck in his leg!"

Barry imediately got up and got Bubblegum up as well.

"Where is he?!"

"He's back at the hospital. I tried waking him up but his eyes wouldn't budge open!"

Barry took Caitlin and Bubblegum in his arms and tried running with two hooves. It worked for a little until he started to slip when they were almost there. He began to regain his balance as they finally made it (but in Bubblegum's and Caitlin's point of view, it was just 2 seconds).

"Alright, Caitlin. Where is he?"

"He's in Exam room 58."

Barry then went to the Exam room to find that Cisco's heart rate was at 28 beats per minute. Barry carefuly removed the axe and discovered it had a tracking devise attatched to it also.

"Um, guys? There's a tracking devise on the axe! Somebody's watching us!"

"That indeed..." A voice came from behind. "...Barry!"

It was the pony in the black ninja suit. The pony went up and hugged Barry as he is shoving it off.

"Who are you?! And why are you here?!"

"Whoa whoa calm down! It's me! Iris! After you guys went through the portal, I came to S.T.A.R. Labs and saw you jump through. Since it WAS our date night, I decided to follow. Leading me to this 'Equestria' the Bubblegum speaks of if that's even her name-"

"IRIS!"

Barry went in for a short hug then asked:

"Why did you throw an axe at Cisco's leg?"

"What? I didn't do that! Harry was worried about where Cisco was going so he did that with me."

"Wait, you came with him to Equestria?"

"Yeah how else do you think I got here? By using my wonderous skills as a reporter and reporting that there is a portal opened up in S.T.A.R. Labs without even doing anything? Nope."

They both then heard the cloping of hooves against the ground.

"What happened?" Said the drowsy voice of Cisco. "Last thing I remember I'm lying on the floor and seen Caitlin comi-" Cisco then sees Iris still dressed in the black ninja suit. "Hey! Your the person who threw the axe at me!"

Cisco then tackled her as she pushes him off.

"GET OFF CISCO! It's Iris!"

"Iris? AH! Ow..." Cisco says as she throws him off of her.

"Yes. And this is a lovely earth-dimension thing."

"Ye-Yeah it is. That's why we don't THROW EACH OTHER OFF ONTO THE FLOOR AFTER THEY'VE HAD AN AXE IN THEIR LEG!" Cisco says as he brushes off his shoulders."

"Sorry."

"Yeah, apology accepted! Geez..." He says quietly.

"So what now?" Barry asks.

"I don't know. But all I know is that Cisco needs to get back in his bed." Caitlin says, looking at Cisco.

"Oh alright." Cisco walks slowly back to his bed.

"Wait. Cisco..."

"Yeah Cait?"

"Are you walking normaly or purposely going slow?"

"I'm walking normaly. Why?"

"Because your going slower than normal. I think being a Equus ferus caballus is changing how you walk."

"You mean having four legs and trying not to fall over? Yeah. I'd think it is too."

"No I mean this might be the reason why your eyes were glowing, your nose was bleeding, and your rib cage was hurting. I need to do some tests on you just in case of some cellular regeneration."

"Ok."

Cisco and Caitlin went back to Exam room 58 as the others began to leave and head for the house.

"What was that about?" Asked Bubblegum.

"I'm not sure. But I'm sure you don't know what an Equus ferus caballus is?"

"No."

"It's the scientific word for 'pony.'"

"Oh. That makes sense."

Just then, a pony came running up. "BUBBLEGUM! I HEARD WHAT HAPPENED! ARE YOU OK?!" Fire Hoof says as he hugs Bubblegum.

"Yeah Yeah I am... Where were you?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Earlier that day...

Fire Hoof had had enough of Cisco trying to make a move on Bubblegum. He decided to leave.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I was thinking about some things. But are you Ok?"

"Yes but that doesn't answer my question. Where were you?"

"I was at Twilight's castle."

"Mmhhm. Like I'm going to believe that."

"I WAS!"

"REALLY?! THIS WHOLE TIME?!"

"YES!"

"BECAUSE ME, BARRY, AND EVERYBODY WERE OVER THERE GOING TO SLEEP UNTIL CAITLIN CAME OVER TO GET US TO COME AND HELP CISCO!"

"Cisco?... What is it with you two?! Ever since you went over to that place you've have a sort of crush on him!"

"A LITTLE ONE! BUT I STILL LOVE YOU!"

"I wish I could just say Ok but I can't. Because I know you like him. Do you still love me?"

"Yes, Fire Hoof... I do." Bubblegum began to cry.

"Ok. Then act like it."

Fire Hoof then flew away as Bubblegum bursted out with tears streaming down her face.

"Bubblegum?" Barry reached out to touch her shoulder, but as soon as he did, she ran off as fast as she could, crying off into the night.

* * *
The next day was different. Everyone woke up from their slumber and Bubblegum was still gone.

"When is she coming back?" Caitlin asked.

"I don't know," says Cisco, since they were all sleeping in the hospital room. "but how come she hasn't, Fire Hoof?"

"Pfft, I don't know..." But he was lying.

"Yes you do know!" Barry interupts. "Your the one who made her run away!"

"What? Is this true?" Cisco asks, rising up in the bed.

"(Sigh) Yes. But only because-"

"THERE ARE NO BUTS, OK? YOU DON'T DO WHATEVER YOU DID TO A GIRL! UNDERSTAND?!"

"First of all, it's mare, and second, I only did what I did, which was go off on her, because you two have some sort of connection. It's like you like her or she likes you or it's both of them."

"Well, uh, yo-you still shoudn't go off on a 'mare', Ok?!"

"Well what am I supposed to do if she is liking another stallion?!"

"I don't know, talk it out?! It seems like the best idea!"

"Ugh whatever!"

Fire Hoof gets up and stomps out.

"I'm SO glad he left!" Says Cisco.

Soon enough Cisco's eyes started to glow once again (even with the medical things on him) and he began to get a headache.

"GAHHHH!"

"Cisco whats wrong?!"

Cisco couldn't speak, but a small bump emerged from his head.

"Do-don't worry, Cisco. We'll get this figured out!"

The small bump stayed there as the night went by and his friends were trying to figure out 2 things, where Bubblegum was and what's wrong with Cisco.
Cisco started to get up to get him a drink when the machines started to beep, waking up Barry.

"Woah woah Cisco! Why are you getting up?" He asked quietly.

"I was thirsty."

"I'll get you a drink. What do you want?"

"I'll just take some water please." Cisco says, laying back down.

"Ok."

Barry leaves to go get water when Cisco suddenly got a vibe. He vibed about Bubblegum fighting Shadow. She fell to the ground and was bleeding. Shadow then laughed.

"Your useless. You can't even FIGHT a SHADOW!" Shadow continued to laugh.

"You may be right... I might be useless and can't fight... But you know what your forgetting?"

"What?"

"That I don't know when to quit!"

Bubblegum got up as her eyes then glowed. She remembered the time her and rarity had had the same thing happen the first day they met. Then, she used all her magic, and blasted it towards Shadow.

"Not today!" He yelled, blasting dark energy towards her.

Their magic started to come together in a masive face off as Bubblegum's magic was drawing closer to Shadow's horn. The closer it came, the more he yelled. Soon enough, a flash of white light happened and the vibe ended.

"Cisco? CIISCOOOO."

"Ye-yeah?"

"Were you just vibing?"

"Yeah. It was Bubblegum and Shadow fighting. I don't know who won though. Before the vibe ended, there was a white flash of light."

"Hmm. Odd. Maybe that's what Bubblegum is doing right now!"

"Or it's what she's going to do. I can't tell if it's the present or future in this dimension because they don't have clocks."

"Well, here's your water. I'm gonna go back to sleep because ever since I've been here, I haven't had ANY rest. Goodnight."

"Goodnight."

Cisco and Barry fell back asleep as Bubblegum looks into the window.

"I'm sorry I had to leave you guys but, I don't want to be mad at Fire Hoof anymore."

Bubblegum flew away, shedding a couple tears. Where was she even going? And why doesn't she want to talk it out with Fire Hoof? So many questions...

Woohoo! I'm on a roll! I realize this is a short-ish chapter but I love it! Stay tuned! :pinkiehappy: :raritywink: :rainbowkiss:

Chapter Twenty-five, Shadows in the Day 2: The Dark Sequel

"What do you mean 'kidnappers'?!" Said Octavia.

"BECAUSE YOU TOOK BUBBLEGUM OUT OF MY CAVE WHEN I WAS TRYING TO DO SOMETHING!"

"Maybe we can reason with hi-..." Says DJ, as she tries to be nice.

"YOU LITTLE-" Ocvtavia interrupted.

"Or not... You know what we should do, Bubbles?" Says DJ-Pon 3 as she turns to Bubblegum.

"Nope but all I can say is-..." She was soon cut off by a yell.

"Beastman!" Yelled the voice. "What the heck are you doing?!"

"Sorry Physco. But they kidnapped Bubblegum!"

"I DON'T CARE WHAT THEY DID! GET OUT OF THERE YOU SHE-DEVIL! I HAVE TO GET BACK TO MY KINGDOM TO SEE IF ATHENAS OK!"

"Sorry... But one last thing... C'mon Bubbles."

"Wait, what?!"

"I said c'mon!"

Beastman grabs Bubblegum's arm as they teleported and soon disappeared along with Physco. They reappeared at a dark and spooky like place with ghouls flying here and there and a haunted looking castle.

"Um," started Bubblegum, "I don't have a good feeling about this."

"Oh relax Bubbles," Beastman said, reassuringly. "Besides, this is where my brother lives. He's the 'King of Darkness' here."

They all headed towards the castle as it got more and more creepier for Bubblegum. Until they made it inside.

"So, 'Physco', what did you mean by 'TO SEE IF ATHENAS OK!'?"

Beastman interrupted. "Lately, Athena, his daughter, became sick with a fever up to 99 degrees."

"But that's normal."

"Not for Athena. Her temperature is usually 23."

"Is that bad?" Bubblegum asked.

"Yes. That's why I need to see if she's fine."

They walk inside the castle to find a little filly running around the living room floor.

"ANTHENA!" Physco yelled, looking very disappointed in the process.

"Yes, Daddy?" Anthena asked, stopping in her place.

"I thought I told you to lay in bed! Not run around the sofa like a monkey!"

"Sorry. I was just so bored. There was nothing to do!"

"But with you sick like this, we need you to stay in bed and get better. Rest makes you heal quicker." Physco then looked around. "Where is your mother?"

"She said she was going to go and get some ingrediants for salad." Said Athena, as she stopped running.

Bubblegum watched as she felt a tingling feeling in her mouth. She moaned.

"Are you alrighr, Bubbles?" Asked Beastman as he looks at her.

She nodded. But she wasn't ok. Her teeth started to become sharper, more like a vampires teeth sort of.

"Mom went out to get ingredients you say?" Physco says, getting up off his knee. "Are you sure?"

"Yes."

"You should get back to bed, sweetie."

She ran upstairs to her bedroom to get some rest. Bubblegum's teeth are now sharp as she felt them felt her mouth. What was happening to her?!

Author's Note

Sorry. Had to get the new chapter out as soon as possible I will write the next one longer

Chapter Twenty-six, Hiss!

"I think I need to go..." Said Bubblegum as she kept feeling her teeth.

"Why?" Asked Beastman.

"Um..... I need to get back to.... Princess Luna? Yeah that's right. Her."

"But-"

"THERE ARE NO 'BUT'S!" She yelled. "I-.... I need to go..."

Bubblegum ran out the door crying.

"Wow..." Physco says, walking up to Beastman. "So emotional."

"How about you stop! Girls are emotional, OK?!" Beastman shakes his head. "You know what? It doesn't matter."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Caitlin!" Yelled Cisco. "*Cough* Can I get a glass of water?"

"HOLD YOU HORSES OK?!"

"Literally." Cisco said, smiling a bit.

"Let's just get out of here! Your earth needs you!" Harry says, pointing his hoof towards the window.

"Calm down, Harry." Barry quickly says. "Shadow shut the portals so there IS no way out of here."

"Then go after him! I hate this body!" He says, raising his hoof once again. "And what's this?!" He says, pointing at his horn on his head.

"You mean your horn?" Twilight says.

Harry squints as he stomps out of the room. He steps out of the hospital door as he sees a faint pony running towards him. As it comes closer, he sees it's Bubblegum.

"Hey guys, there's a weird hot pink pony running towards the hospital."

"BUBBLEGUM!" Cisco yells, as he runs out the door.

"Cisco!" Caitlin yells. "Get back inside!"

"I can't believe your back!" He hugs her, but she shoves him off. "Is something wrong?"

She nods.

"What is it?"

She shrugs like she can't tell him.

"C'mon Bubblegum. We worked through the last thing. We can work through this too."

She frowns as she opens her mouth. Revealing sharp teeth.

"*Gasp* How did that happen?"

She shrugs.

"I don't know. I jussssssst-.... Went to a weird world withhhhhhh Physsssssco and Beasssstman." She covers her mouth as the others look at her funny.

"Ummm-"

"This happened to Fluttershy once." Twilight says as she interupts Cisco.

"What did you do?" She asks.

"Well, we got Applejack's big apple, cut it, grabbed a fan to spread the smell, got some mirrors so she got distracted, and did the spell. But it only happened at night." Twilight looks up at the sky. "But, it's day." She shakes her head.

"Pleasssssse tell me I don't have to be like thisssssss for a really long time!"

"If we get you fixed in time, there will be no problem! But, I just don't know how this is REALLY possible! I've went to different worlds before and nothing happened to me! Well, A different world. But I was supposed to be like that. But hopefully, nothing else will happen."

"But what if it doessssss?!" Bubblegum asks worridly.

"Then-.... I don't know. We'll just have to figure it out from there. But I can get Fluttershy over here so she can do the spell and I can do the counter-spell."

"Right now? Or when it get'ssssssss worssssssse?"

"Right now. We wouldn't want it to get worse just in case if it's permanent." Twilight says, packing her bags. "I'll be back as soon as I can. I won't walk or trot." She says, smiling as she walks out the door.

Bubblegum goes over to the window to watch her run down to where what seemed to be the Everfree Forest. As she runs out into the distance, Bubblegum's ears seem to be taking a different form. A form of what looked like bat pony ears.

"Pleasssssse get back ssssssoon."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Meanwhile, in Shadow's cave...

"Yes." He says as he look at the poral-window he had made, watching Bubblegum. "Since everything she does when she defeats me is about 'FRIENDSHIP', Then she'll have to work for me.... As a bat pony! *Laughs evily*"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Back to present...

"Cisco," Barry started, "do you think you could try to make a portal back to Central City?"

"I don't know if I can... But, I can try." Cisco put on his glasses as he held out his hoof.

"Cisssssssco wait!" Bubblegum leapt towards him. "Promisssssssssse me you'll ssssssstay in touch?"

Cisco smiled. "I will. I'll try to send you letters when I can."

"Sssssssame." Bubblegum says, hugging him.

Fire Hoof looks at them with pity. He felt a lump in his throat as he holds back his tears. He knew he had basically dumped her, but, deep down, he still loved her. He wanted to be with her. He wanted to care for her. He wanted to love her... Forever.

As Cisco opens a portal, Fire Hoof runs towards Bubblegum and picks his arm up in front of her mouth.

"Um, Fire Hoof? What are you doing?" She asked.

"Bite me."

"Are you..... Sssssssseriousssss?"

"Bite me NOW! I can't stand being without you!"

"???. We were broke up for only, like, 3 dayssssssss."

"I don't care! I want you back! Please baby! Don't say maybe! Make me the happiest pony in the world and be my mare-friend once again!" (Pokemon Black & White reference :)

Bubblegum blushes as Cisco frowns. "I'm ssssssorry, Fire Hoof. But, I'm not interested in you anymore. You grew jealous of Cisco when he did NOTHING wrong, YOU broke up with ME, and..... I just don't really like you because of how you've hurt me. And I know you wouldn't like it if somepony did the same to you."

As Cisco says goodbye to Bubblegum and others and jumps through the portal with the crew, a song starts... (With Bubblegum singing)
(I changed up the lyrics a bit)
"Take a moment to think of just
Flexibility, Love, and Trust
Take a moment to think of just
Flexibility, Love, and Trust
Here comes a thought -- That might alarm you
What someone said -- And how it harmed me
Something you did, that, failed to be charming
Things that you said, are, suddenly swarming"
(Fire Hoof singing now)
"But, oh, your losing sight, You losing touch
And all these little things seem to matter so much
That they confuse me
That I might lose you"
(Bubblegum)
"Take a moment, remind yourself to take a moment and find yourself
Take a moment and ask yourself if, 'This is how we fall apart'?"

(Fire Hoof)
"But it's not, but it's not, but it's not, but it's not, but it's not
It's ok, it's ok, it's ok, it's ok, it's ok
You've got nothing, got nothing, got nothing, got nothing to fear
I'm here, I'm here, I'm here
Here comes a thought -- That might alarm me
What someone said -- and how it harmed you
Something I did, that, failed to be charming
Things that I said, are, suddenly swarming
And, oh, I'm losing sight, I'm losing touch
And all these little things seem to matter so much
That they confuse me
That I might lose you"
(Bubblegum)
"Take a moment, remind yourself to take a moment to find yourself
Take a moment and ask yourself if, 'This is how we fall apart'?"

(Together)
"But it's not, but it's not, but it's not, but it's not, but it's not
It's ok, it's ok, it's ok, it's ok, it's ok
We've got nothing, got nothing, got nothing, got nothing to fear"

(Fire Hoof)
"I'm here"

(Bubblegum)
"I'm here"
(Together)
"I'm here"
(Bubblegum)
"Take a moment to think of just
Flexibility, Love, and Trust
Take a moment to think of just
Flexibility, Love, and Trust"

"Will you be my mare-friend?" Asked Fire Hoof, still holding his arm up.

Bubblegum begins to cry. "I don't know, Fire Hoof. I don't know. I can't begin to forgive you for what you've done. I'm sorry!"

Cisco looks into the portal for a moment then realizes something.

"Um, guys? This isn't the right earth. This one is destroyed and.... There's fire everywhere."

Harry frowns. "I TOLD YOU ALL TO HURRY! NOW YOUR EARTH IS DESTROYED! NOW, WHO KNOWS WHO'S DIED NOW!"

"Thissss.... issss all my fault! I kept you all behind, I-I...... Can't forgive.... I can't forgive a pony..... I can't even forgive myssssself!" Bubblegum continues to cry as her pupils seem to become more thin.

Cisco looks back at her with a worried face, then back at the portal. "I'm sorry guys."

Barry looks at Cisco, "Sorry for what?"

"I'm not going back to earth 1. Bubblegum needs me right now. I mean look at her. I can't beieve what I'm saying, but, I'm in love with a pony!"

Suddenly, two ponies jumped from a portal behind them. It seemed to be Physco and Beastman.

"I told you so. Now give me 20 bits." Physco said.

"I should've never made a bet on this." Beastman gives him the bits.

"Made a bet on what?" Bubblegum asks, her eyes changing to a darker blue.

"Oh it's nothing." Physco said, "Just to see which one loved you more."

"Physco, c'mon. It's still Fire Hoof."

"Or it's you..." Physco whispered.

"What was that?" Beastman asked. "Well, we came here to see if you were alright since, well, you ran from us yester-...." Beastman noticed Bubblegum's eyes and her teeth. "I think I just figured it out, Physco."

"What a minute..." Physco investigated the pony for a moment before coming to a conclusion. "Ah, I see what's going on here..."

"What?" Bubblegum asked.

"This pony has anorexia." Physco said, jokingly.

"Physco! Do you even know what that is?!" Bestman said.

"Yeah I was joking. I really don't know what's going on."

Everyone groans.

"IT'S NOT MY FAULT THIS ANOREXIC PONY HAS FANGS AND CAT EYES! SO SHUT ALL OF YOUR MOUTHS!!!!"

Everypony stood in shock except Beastman.

"Don't worry," Beastman said, "he does this ALL the time."

"Anyways... Bubblegum needs somebody right now. I can't just leave her!" Said Cisco as everyone from the Flash world was standing right next to him.

"*Sigh* We know, Cisco. But your immune system is messing up because you've been here so long." Caitlin said, putting her hoof on his shoulder. "Our city is being destroyed."

Barry thinks of something. "What if, we went back and ran back in time to before the destroying happened? It's risky, and we might not remember anyone here right now."

Cisco starts to cry. "But-"

"Cisco, we have no other choice! It's either that or we try to rebuild Central City!"

Cisco puts his head down. "Ok... But first..." He runs up to Bubblegum and kisses her. "I want you to never forget me. And I will try harder and harder everyday to remember you!"

Bubblegum begins to cry.

"Don't cry. When everything is fine and normal and I remember you, I will get in touch."

Those felt like the last words Cisco would ever say to her as him and the rest of Flash team went into the portal. Bubblegum fell to the ground and balled her eyes out. She couldn't believe that was happening.

"Ah, true love." Physco started. "Maybe one day you'll find some." Physco said, butting Beastman with his elbow.

"???."

FINALLY DONE! Was this a good chapter? Comment below :pinkiehappy:

Chapter Twenty-seven, Hiss! Pt. 2

A couple months went by, Bubblegum still had sharp fangs except her wings changed shape, Fire Hoof decided to leave and make new friends, Twilight still does expiraments with her, and Beastman and Physco went back home. Nothing was the same ever since Cisco and the rest of Team Flash left. But hey, at least everythings sort of normal... Still emotional rehab. Sucks.

"I've figured out why your changing!" Twilight protested with excitement. "It's a spell! But I've got some good news and some bad news."

"Good news first." Bubblegum says as she get's out of the harness they used.

"The good news is, is that I can cure you." Twilight frowned. "The bad news is, is that Shadow did this to you. It's a very strong spell, but I think I can cure you."

Twilight then looks inside a book and finds a counterspell. She reads it as she starts to cast her magic on Bubblegum. Bubblegum then lifts into the air as the magic is spreading around her. When the counterspell stopped, Bubblegum dropped to the ground as a normal alicorn.

"Yay! Thanks Twilight!" Bubblegum hugs her.

"No!" Shadow yells. "My magic can't be beaten that easily!" He looks at Twilight through his mirror. "Looks like you'll be more of a challenge." He chuckles. "Twilight Sparkle!"

He then teleports out of his cave and sets off to Ponyville.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Meanwhile in Flash world...

Barry had to run back in time and save the city from mass destruction! What caused it, you ask? A massive black hole that the "Legends of Tomorrow" made by going back in time so...... many...... times! It's ridiculous! Even Barry himself didn't go back as many times as them! Anyways, their team, the Legends of Tomorrow, had to go back into outer space and, most probably, come back every once in a while. It sucks, but, at least the city is saved! But, the bad news is, Cisco doesn't remember Bubblegum... I guess that means he could make a move on Gypsy, his firend that's a girl. They've only kissed.... Let's say, once. But he still likes her! She wouldn't even exist if it wasn't for Barry, to be honest. *Sigh* I've turned into a narrator/fan girl, haven't I? Anyways, Let's just say that nobody but Barry remembers Equestria or anything/anyone from there.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Guys!" Bubblegum came running towards Beastman and Physco in his dimension. "I'm cured!"

"Thank Celestia!" Beastman said, hugging her.

In Beastman's mind, he sees Bubblegum running towards him with her hips swaying from side to side and licking her lips with the song going like....

The gates of heaven must be open......I think I saw an angel just walk by
Hey, the gates of heaven must be open.....I think I saw an angel just walk by
I heard a blind man screamin', say.......Now there goes a sight for my sore eyes
There goes a sight for my sore eyes
Now there goes a sight for my sore eyes
What kind of pony is this?

"Beastman? Beastman? Beastman!" Screamed Bubblegum.

"Huh, what?" He blinked.

"You OK?" She asked, her face in his.

"Oh, y-yeah." He rubbed his eyes. "Just a bit tired *fake yawns*."

"Did you hear me, I'm cured!"

"Good for you!"

"Yeah! Well, at least, I think I'm cured." She shrugged.

"Think positive! You are cured!" He smiled.

"I think negative." Physco started. "And if you keep smiling and being all, 'I'm a good boy!' I'm gonna kill you!"

Beastman rolls his eyes. "You've said 'I'm gonna kill you!' numorous times! And have you killed me yet? No."

He growls. "Someday I will!"

"Whatever!" They both say in unison.

Physco forwns and walks away from the two of them as they laugh.

"'Someday, I'll kill you!'" Beastman mocked.

"I'm happy your alive, Beastman." Bubblegum smiled. "This place is better than the city, isn't it?"

"Huh? What are you talking about?"

"Y'know. Being humans, walking on two legs, driving cars..." She stopped. "Will we get to go home?"

Beastman frowns. "I can't."

"Why not?"

"I was promised that if I stay here, I get to live. If I go back to the human world, I'll die."'

"Well, have you tried it?"

"No-..."

"Then how do you know?!" She yelled. "*Sigh* I'm sorry. But, can't we just, go into whatever made you a pony and ask him or her if you can go back to the human world? All we would have to do is try to find that mirror and we're... we-..."

Bubblegum was caught off guard when she felt like puking or gaging when she threw up a scroll with writing in it.

"What the (Pinkie smile noise)!?" Beastman yelled.

Bubblegum picks it up and reads it, with a surprised face.

"What?" He asked.

"I'm royalty here in Equestria!" She smiles. "This says I'm needed in Canterlot to meet the delegates from Saddle Arabia! It's their second visit to Ponyville and they want to meet me! Fan girl scream This is the first time I've been important to somepo-... Somebody!"

"But what about finding the force that brought me here?" Beastman asks.

"This is tomorrow though! We can find it afterwards."

"Reads scroll This says it lasts three days irritated."

"Then... We'll do it in 5 days." She starts to run towards the portal she opened and heads to Canterlot.

"Great... Now I have to go inside." He looks upwards. "I can't wait to get outa' here."

Chapter Twenty-eight, Delegates Final Decision pt 1

Bubblegum got her bags packed and ready to go as she get's on the train. She sits in the seat with a blue pony next to her.

How can ponies just walk around naked all the time? Bubblegum thought. Don't they need clothes on? She then looks down at herself. Well, I guess I'm naked too, so...

"Peanuts anypony?" The porter asks as she walks down the isle with a cart.

"I will!" Called the blue pony next to her. "Make 'em salty!"

"OK!"

The porter gave the pony peanuts and walked away to tend the other pessengers.

"Well this is some salty train ride." Bubblegum smiles as she looks to the pony next to her.

"I don't even know what you said.... And I don't care."

"Sigh Dang-it." Bubblegum said as she looks out the window.

******
About an hour and a half later, they arrived at the Canterlot train station.

"I'm finally here! I can't believe I'm royalty!"

"It's Princess Bubblegum, guys!" Said a pony with a camera.

"Can we get you autograph?" A pony came with paper.

"Giggles Of course!" She signs the paper.

"Thank you!"

"Say, Princess Bubblegum, what's your favorite food?" A reporter came with his crew to ask questions.

"Homemade chicken pot pies." She smiles.

"What's your favorite color?"

"Dark blue."

"Who's your mentor?"

"Princess Luna." She said as she puts her hoof to her mouth. "The last time I studied with her was about a year ago. But she taught me everything I know."

"Thanks, your majesty." They walk away as Bubblegum flies up into the air.

She takes a deep breath. "This is all I've ever wanted! I've always wanted to be known and now I am!" She stops. "But, what if I'm doing this for wrong reasons? What if I'm not a good Princess!?"

"Princess Bubblegum, it is time for thee to approach thy castle." Luna walks towards Princess Bubblegum. "Please come down."

She flies back down to the ground, walking towards Luna.

"Alright. I'm ready."

"Well, your mane surely doesn't say the same thing..."

Bubblegum looks up at her hair as she sees it's all messy and full of rats nests.

"Eek! It was ready! But I can go fix it!"

"No time. The deligates are already coming."

"Is there a spell for messy hair?"

"Well, I suppose you could use levitation to try and even it out." Luna suggested.

She uses the spell to fix her mane and it put it in a mermaid braid.

"Great. Now it's more of a mess..."

A trumpet suddenly sounds as the deligates are walking into the castle.

"We'd better hurry." Luna said as they're running. "Let's teleport!"

They appear in the main hall and bow as the deligates show up right in front of them.

"What a performance!" Amira, the female deligate, says as she claps. "I'd say you were perfect on time."

"Why thank you, Saddle Arabian delegate." Bubblegum smiles.

"Oh please, call me Amira."

"Well, um..... Thank you, Amira?"

"That's the spirit!"

"We shall take thee to thy rooms." Luna says, leading the group.

"Haakin," Amira addresses the male deligate. "did you bring the clipboard?"

"I did. It's in my saddle bag." He reaches for it, shows her, then puts it up.

"Great! We shall use it tomorrow then!"

Luna leads them into their bedroom with their beds made.

"Welcome to the luxury suite. Where all your coffee and oats are down the hall in the lobby." Bubblegumn said, bowing.

"Laughs Bubblegum you're hilarious!" Said Amira. "Ha.... Good night, Your highnesses." They both head into their bedroom.

"You did well, Princess Bubblegum." Luna winked.

"He he thanks!"

Chapter Twenty-nine, Delegates Final Decision pt 2

After Luna and Bubblegum left the hallway, Luna looked over at Bubblegum and almost laughed.

"What's wrong?" Bubblegum asked as she stopped.

"I was thinking... What if I took you on a trip to see the rest of Equestria? I mean you've only seen Ponyville and Canterlot. I think you should see a bit more."

Bubblegum squints. "But how is that funny?"

"I could just imagine how funny you'd act around everypony."

"What do you mean?"

"Well, you treated them with hospitality, yes, but, I think your lacking the actual princess duties. How about I give you some?"

She smiled. "Like, real duties?!"

"Yes. And, you could even have your own castle..."

"REALLY?!"

"BUT, under one condition..."

"What is it?!"

Luna grins. "Make some friends and write me friendship notes."

Bubblegum laughed. "I've already made friends! I've even made some from other dimensions! There's Barry, Cisco, Caitlin..." She named off all of them. "And then dreamy sighs Beastman."

Luna gave her a look. "Is this a stallion you like?"

"What?! Pfft! What would make you say that?" She sweats.

"The way you sound when you say his name. It's not a shame to like somepony. I liked a pony once, too."

"Really? Who was it?"

"Well, I was in magic kindergarten..."

Flashback starts
"I had Miss. Flowey as my teacher and 3 friends: Pokey Sans, Elvis Parsley, and Fredward IV. Of course that was 700 years ago. But I had a huge crush on Papyru. He was great at magic and good looking to, I say the least. But he moved to a different school right before I could ask him out. And I was about to, too."

"Now, class," Miss. Flowey started, "We will be testing your ability to teleport. You've already learned to create plants. But this is different. Think of the place you would like to teleport and use your horn to copy this spell." She points to the board.

"Miss. Flowey?" Luna asked.

"Yes?"

"I was wondering if we could maybe try making potions next week?"

She rolls her eyes. "Whatever. But do the spell or you'll get an immediate 'F', got it?"

Flashback over
"I did eventually learn a new spell. But I never saw him after that."

She frowns. "Do you know where he is?"

"Well, yes. But I've never bothered to go there. Besides, he might be in a relationship or even dead by now."

"How long exactly can a pony live?"

"Well, humans live up to 80 or 90 something and ponies live 5x more longer... I'd say about 450 years."

"Well then.... But, if he was powerful at magic, he could've used an age spell."

"True..."

"After the Delegates leave, how about we go there to find out?"

"Well, I guess it wouldn't hurt..."

Chapter Thirty, Delegates Final Decision pt 3

Luna set Bubblegum off to the room she ordered for her as she went back to her own bedroom. It was the same room she had when she first came to Equestria. She was psyched when she found out that Luna kept everything the same since she'd left. She didn't even make the bed! :facehoof: As Bubblegum drifted off to sleep, she kept thinking.... Why was she an alicorn when she came to Equestria? Why not any other race? This kept her awake for at least a half hour. But she eventually went to sleep.

And, another coincidence, the same weird shadow-y figure came into the bedroom again.

"The same pony from last year?... I'll show her to mess with my room!" The shadow went inside her once more. Instead of barely going in her horn, it went completely inside her!

"Gasping for air" Bubblegum wakes up out of a deep sleep. "What gasp the hay gasp was that?!" Suddenly, she found herself sobbing and getting to the bathroom. "What's going on? Why am I crying?"

As soon as she'd asked, she started to get very vivid gore scenes in her mind. A war between the earth ponies, pegasi, and unicorns. They kept bickering back and forth and, as a result, got killed by the alicorns ruling the land. She felt like she had lived there. She felt like she was shivering, cold. She felt hurt by the ponies who died and who killed them.

"Why.... Am I seeing this?!" She falls backward into the bathtub and trun the water on on accident. But when the warm water hit her face, all she could smell was snow with a mixture of blood. But she suddenly realized.... "Am I an alicorn.... Because I need to kill people?" It was hard for her to believe, but that's what came to her. "Is my race a race that was meant to kill?..." Her leg started to turn a gray-ish color with the rest of her body. "Snickers He he.... I don't mind killing.... NO! I can't live with-.... Oh shut up, big mouth! You'll never get rid of me!... Yes I can! My magic has gotten stronger since I've-.... Stronger? Oh please! You'll never match up with Celestia!... Yes I can! What was that spell to go to Beastman's dimension?.... YOU'RE NOT GOING THERE!.... Yes I am!" She uses her teleportation spell and half of the shadow's energy and teleports to the kingdom.

Beastman sees her running. "Bubblegum!"

"I need help!" She blurted before the shadow could say anything.

"Are you sick? You look a bit gray."

"No! Where's Physco?" She knew he could help.

"He's insi-..." He couldn't finish after Bubblegum rushed past him.

"Physco!"

He looks behind him. "Moan What do you need?"

"I'm gonna kill you!... NO I WON'T!"

He looked confused. "Are you going to kill me or what?"

"NO! I was sleeping when a stupid shadow thingy came in and did something to me and now I'm posessed!... Basically."

"Pssh I can help with that."

"You can?!"

"Do you know how many time Beastman has gotten posessed? Laughs It's almost funny."

"Ok well... HURRY BEFORE I ACTUALLY KILL SOMEONE!.... Too late!"

Bubblegum charges at Physco with a knife (don't ask where she got it) and stabbed him on the right side of his chest. He chokes.

"Bubblegum," he says faintly, "why..." He acts like he's dead.

She looks shoked, guilty, angry, and sad. "What have I done?! I killed Beastman's brother! How will I live with myself?....."

"Surprise, Mother F*****!" Physco lifts up and puches Bubblegum in the stomach. The spirit leaves her body.

"WHAT THE HELL, PHYSCO?! I THOUGHT YOU DIED!"

"I am meant to kill people. Not to be killed."

Bubblegum rolls her eyes and teleports back to her room.

Lol fight scene! See what happens in the next chapter! :heart:

Chapter Thirty-one, Delegates final decision pt 4

Bubblegum went back to the castle bedroom but shut all the doors and windows and locked them.

In the morning, Celestia and Luna were getting their make-up done.

"Luna," Celestia started, "will you be a dear and get me that hoof file for me please?"

Luna turned her head and levitated it over to Celestia.

"You know you could've done it yourself?"

"Giggles I know. I just think it's more funny when you get it."

Just then, Bubblegum walked in the room. Luna saw her and whispered to the massuese. The massuese nodded and brought Bubblegum to a table and started to massage her.

"I just thought you needed a massage after all you've been through." She smiled as Bubblegum sighed.

She thought this day was already stressful enough until Beastman happened to walk in the room.

"Hey mom. I was wondering when the Summer Sun Celebration was supposed to happ-..." He saw Bubblegum and blushed.

"BEASTMAN?!" She fell off the table. "THIS IS A PRIVATE ROOM!" Bubblegum covered herself up with a towel.

"Oh my Celestia! I am SO SO sorry!" He leaves.

Bubblegum looked at Celestia. "What is a 'Summer Sun Celebration'?"

"It's the day I have to raise the sun in front of everypony. It's the same as raising it without anypony just with a bunch of 'celestial' poses and dramatic music." She replied.

"Hmm... Interesting. Is that why the Arabian delegates are here?"

"Yes. Unfortunately, they've never seen me do a Summer Sun Celebration before. That's why they have a clipboard. They're going to record everything that happens. But they are expecting you to be a part of it too." She frowns. "If there was only some way to get you a mane part of the celebration..."

Luna smiled. "What if Princess Bubblegum raised the clouds?"

"Well, the pegasi are in charge of that."

"But the delegates don't know that."

"I see where your getting..."

"How the heck am I supposed to raise CLOUDS?!" Bubblegum butted in.

"I will assign Rainbow Dash to teach you."

Bubblegum was immediately sent off to Ponyville again to be taught by Rainbow Dash.

"This is 20% cooler than Twilight teaching me how to get an A+ in cleaning duty!" Rainbow said. "The first thing you wanna do in 'raising' clouds is find a foggy spot down.... there!"

She raced down to an empty area as Bubblegum crash landed.

"Ow..." She said as she got up.

"Step number two: race me."

"What?"

"You heard me: race me!"

"Um, ok..."

Bubblegum and Rainbow Dash raced each other around the fog until it started to rise up off the ground.

"Your doing it!" She pleaded.

Bubblegum raised the fog off the ground as it turned into a mist cloud.

"Wait, so I have to do this at the festival thingy?" She fell to the ground. "Who knew flying could be exhausting?"

"Or you could just use your magic to circle the fog and raise it up in the air." Rainbow rolled her eyes.

"Really? Ok ^^." Bubblegum walks off.

"Great... Should've said that."

Chapter Thirty-two, Delegates Final Decision pt 5

"Welcome fillies and gentlecolts to the anual Summer Sun Celebration!" Celestia announced getting into her spot as Luna and Buubblegum in theirs, too.

Luna began to lower the moon and stars as Celestia was rising the sun. Bubblegum got ready in formation as she said she would be after the sun was raised up in the sky. She focused her magic on a foggy spot somewhere, spun it around the fog, and rose it into the air. She'd thought she had done a good job at first... Until a rainstorm happened.

"What a world!" Shouted Rose. "What a world!"

"AH!" Screamed the ponies, gallopping in fear.

"Bubblegum!" Celestia shouted. "What is wrong with you?!"

"I did what Dash said, Princess!"

"I didn't want you to cause a storm!"

Suddenly, a lightning strike headed for the delegates as Bubblegum raced for them and put them all into a safe spot as the pegasi started to take control of the situation.

The delegates then walked up to Bubblegum, mad and fearful.

"What the hay was that? I ordered a 'Summer Sun Celebration'! Not a Winter Storm Night!" Said Amira and Haakin.

"Listen, this is all a misunderstanding. I'm so so sorry for-..."

"I don't care what your sorry for! For almost killing us, you should be punished!" Said Haakin, nodding in agreement to what he said.

"Punished?" Luna butted in. "For a small thunderstorm? Please! For all we know, Equestria was rid of it's magic for 2 weeks! That's way more than what Princess Bubblegum did!"

"Bu-.... SHE STILL DESERVES TO BE PUNISHED! I shal send her to another dimension for 2 weeks since you think that was nothing! And, just to be nice, she get's to pick what dimension she get's to go to. Now, would you happen to open it up since we are earth ponies?"

"Sighs Fine. But ONLY 2 weeks. Nothing more!" Celestia said as Bubblegum and Luna both pleaded.

"I choose..." Bubblegum started as she knew what she was gonna say." "The Flash Dimension in the C.C.P.D.!" She smiled.

"Ok... But haven't you had enough of the Flash running around the city?" Luna asked.

She shook her head.

"Alright. Off you go." Celestia then sent her there as Amira said one last word:

"I can't believe you call yourself a princess!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Bubblegum looks around the C.C.P.D. as she covers up her horn and wings.

"Ah... Back to the good ol' fashioned department... Seems like I was here just yesterday."

Joe looks over to see her. "Can I help you with something, ma'am?"

"Joe? Giggles Remember me?" She hugs him but he pushes her away.

"How do you know my name?"

"Um..." She was wierded out. "I almost destroyed the C.C.P.D. last time I was here... Barry, Cisco, and Caitlin all came to Equestria with me?"

"Don't talk about Barry right now... Or Caitlin. And how do you know who they are too?"

Bubblegum looked suspiciously at Joe. "First, you tell me what's wrong with Barry and Caitlin." She demanded.

"Barry found out his future self is Savitar so he tells us and now he has amnesia and Caitlin is a villain." He pointed his gun. "Now you tell me how you know them!"

She put her hands in the air. "Listen, I didn't mean to cause trouble. I know them because I was sent here by Shadow. Not today. Today, I was sent here because I caused a thunderstorm."

"So your a meta-human?"

"No no no no no no no no no! I'm Bubblegum. Princess? Horn and wings?" She showed them.

"What the hell?! So you are a meta!"

"No! I just told you that!" She flies up to the second floor and looks down at him. "Honestly, I think you have bad hearing."

Suddenly, five other policemen line up with their guns pointed at her.

"Seriously? Again? Do we have to do the whole ritual all over again?"

"Put your hands in the air!" Said one of the officers.

"C'mon! It's like your the ones with amnesia!"

Then, Cisco showed up in his Vibe suit.

"Gasp Cisco?" She whispered.

He then looks at Joe. "I had to do this for the right reasons. And for Barry."

"I understand. Just take her back to S.T.A.R. Labs."

Cisco shot her with a dranc dart and picked her up to take her to S.T.A.R. Labs.

When she woke up, she was in a weird cage thingy that they put her in. She tried using her magic, but it wouldn't work. Bubblegum also found Cisco, Joe, Iris, Wally, HR, and some weird blonde chick all staring at her.

"And this is basically who and what we catch almost everyday, Traci." Cisco said to the blonde girl.

"Cool." She replied.

"Cisco? Why did you put me in here?" She lifted up into a standing position.

"Wait hol' up!" He bent down a bit. "How you know my name?"

"You came with me to Equestria, I turned into a giant...? Not ringing a bell? Of course it isn't... You most probably forgot. Just like everyone else in this miserable world."

"What does she mean by 'Equestria'? Is this some come of different earth?" Iris said, amused.

"It's a different dimension." She stated, distinguishly.

They all looked at each other as HR suddenly blurted out:

"I'll go get some coffee so we can sit down and talk all about this." he rushed out of the room.

"I'm gonna check on Barry." Joe said as Julian walked in, surprised at what he saw.

"Is this another meta?" He spoke but blew Bubblegum's temper.

"FOR THE LAST TIME, I AM NOT A META! I AM FROM EQUESTRIA! WHERE THERE ARE FRICKIN' UNICORNS, PEGASI, AND FRICKIN' EARTH PONIES ROAMING AROUND BEING ALL LIKE, 'I'M SO PERFECT AND I LOVE RAINBOWS.' NOT A STINKIN' META!" She sighed. "And who the heck are you?"

They all looked astonished at what she just said.

"I.... I am Julian. A friend to these people. What exactly is your name?"

"Princess Bubblegum. A friend to these people." She mimicked.

"Girl, I don't even know you." Cisco said as he made that weird face with his curly hair flinging everywhere. Bubblegum liked that part about him.

"Well, if you all didn't erase all of Barry's memories, he could tell you. He's the only one who will remember."

"OK. For one, I was trying to not make Barry become a villain himself and two.... I love your hair dye where did you get it?"

"I didn't dye my hair. I was born this way."

"Alrighty then." Iris finally spoke up. "I'm gonna go to see my fiance who apparently doesn't rememeber me. C'mon Wally." They both left.

"For the last time, I didn't mean to!"

Chapter Thirty-three, Forgotten

Forgotten... What does it mean to be forgotten? It means to be lost somewhere or lost by someone. They were looking for you but never knew it. Doesn't make sense? One day it will...

"What the hay kind of book is this?" Bubblegum protested.

"Well, I wrote it myself." HR said as he drank his coffee.

"I'm wondering how come you wrote this? Were you forgotten by someone?"

"No. I just try to make them relatable." He smiled. "Well, I've gotta go." He took his book back. "See ya." HR left the room.

"Sigh. Now I'm all by myself here." Bubblegum looked up. "I never thought I would be in one of their cages. Scoffs feels like a long time ago I was here, though, and they were nice to me. But, this time is different... I have bigger bosoms, my hooves are hands, and I still have a hon and wings. I wish Barry didn't have amnesia though. He could tell them all. He could get them to realize that I'm not an enemy."

Suddenly, Iris walked in the room.

"Iris? Why are you-..."

Iris was unlocking the cell door. "C'mon!"

Iris and Bubblegum started to run down the hall.

"What's going on?!"

"I'm letting you go." She turned around and put both of her hands on Bubblegum's shoulders. "I could tell you didn't do anything back at the C.C.P.D. You weren't doing anything. By what Joe told Cisco."

"Thank you so much." She looked around. "But where am I gonna stay? I don't have a house."

"You could stay with me and Barry's house."

"Gasp He proposed?!" She smiled.

"Yeah!" They heard footsteps. "But you've gotta get out of here!" She ran with her out of the laboratory as the red light and alarm started going off.

Cisco looked at the moniter.

"Guys! She's escaped!" He yelled.

Cisco and Julian went to check as they see she's not there.

"Oh... My... God...!" Julian said, angry.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"So this is our place!" Iris introduced Bubblegum to their apartment.

"So classy!" She ran her fingers on the walls.

"Yeah Barry decorated this." She sighed.

"I know he has amnesia right now." They sat down. "But I know how much you mean to him and how much he means to you."

"I really don't know how I think right now-..." Somebody started to knock at the door.

"Iris? Iris? Iris!" It was Cisco and Julian. They knew that she was the last person in the room. "Are you there?"

"Bubblegum!" Iris whispered. "Hide!"

She looked around the room, looking for a place to hide. She then found a closet in the bedroom and hid under all the clothes.

Iris was going to the door and looked through the eye hole and opened the door.

"Oh. Hey guys! What's wrong?"

"You know what's wrong. Bubblegum is missing!"

"She is? Well, I don't exactly know where she is if your wondering..."

A sneeze was then heard in a distance.

"What was that?" Julian asked.

"My.... New dog." Iris lied. "She is taking a nap."

"Dude," Cisco started, "I know your lying."

"Ok, ok! I released Bubblegum from the cage!" She admitted. "She didn't do anything at the C.C.P.D. and there has to be a way she knows us all!"

"Where is she?" They both demanded.

"What are you gonna do with her?" Iris asked, putting her hands on her hips.

"Where is she?!"

"In my closet."

They rushed passed her with guns, headed for her closet.

"You didn't tell what you would do to her!"

"She's dangerous, Iris! What do you think we're gonna do to her?!"

"I don't know! Don't hurt her!"

"We're gonna put her back in S.T.A.R. Labs." They opened the closet door to see nothing. "Where is she?"

"I... Thought she was in there." Iris looked. "But I guess she's not."

"She must've moved." Cisco said. "Let's move."

They left the apartment as Iris looked back in the closet to see Bubblegum reappearing. Like she had disappeared in the first place.

"Woah."

"I was invisible but that was close."

Iris stared in amazment. "What else can you do?"

"Lots of things." She replied. "Levitation, fly, turn apples into oranges, ext."

"Awesome."

Chapter Thirty-four, Hypothesis

After a day or so, Barry got his memory back after some pretty humiliating things happened. While Joe and the others are still trying to find Bubblegum and make a new hypothesis, she was with Iris getting some coffee.

"I've barely ever had coffee before." Bubblegum stated after taking a sip. "It tastes SO much better at Jitters!"

"I knew you would like it!" She said. "I barely get to hang out or do things with girls ever since Caitlin became 'Killer Frost'."

Bubblegum frowned.

"What's wrong?"

"It's just.... Sigh She's the one the helped Cisco when his rib cage was bleeding once. I loved her beautiful, red hair. It was sort of like looking at the sun. But, I guess since Barry reset the timeline to save the city, that all changed. Now, she's some villain working for some guy named Savitar and it's all my fault!" She put her face on the table. "Sometimes I wish I never became a princess."

"Your a princess?" Iris said in shock.

"Yeah. But that's only because I decided to go inside a cave and find a mirror. And if I never did that, I wouldnt've met you guys, the timeline would be the same, and I wouldn't be wanted for murder." She sighed.

"Well, maybe it would make you feel better for a spa day?" Iris asked.

"Why not." She lifted her face up. "Maybe it'll get things off my mind."

As they headed for the door, Barry walks in. He had his memory back and was looking for Iris. And he saw Bubblegum, too.

He looked over. "Bubblegum?"

"BARRY!" She ran to hug him. "I knew you would remember me!"

He took a short hug then slowly got off. Trying not to be rude. "Why are you here again? Not to be mean or anything but, us being over in your dimension caused ours to fall apart. What happened?"

"I might of accidentally caused a rainstorm and the delegates sent me here for punishment."

"Classic Bubblegum." He smiled. "Always causing destruction on 'accident'."

"Hey! It was an accident! Rainbow Dash told me it would work!" She giggled after being upset. "But I'm glad they let me choose the dimension I wanted to go in. Or else I would've ended up with puppets dancing everywhere.... Maybe."

Iris looked over and thought: They have such a good relationship. But... He seems so happy. What happened to the Barry with pain and hurt in his eyes?
I wonder...

"Wanna join us at the spa later today?" Bubblegum asked, excited.

"Well, that's really a girl thing... I wouldn't want to interrupt."

"Well, that's ok."

"Also, Cisco and Julian just got done telling me you were threatening people at the C.C.P.D.?"

"Scoffs They're overreacting. I just walked in and Joe jumped my case. I just flew up to the little second floor up there and everyone was being hateful with me until Cisco shot me with a dranc dart."

"Maybe I should tell them that your on our side...?"

"Yes."

Iris felt so quiet standing beside Barry. She was barely speaking and was about to say something until Barry just zoomed out of the coffee shop.

"Nevermind."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Hold up!" Beastman is doing his 'fourth wall breaking'. "Why is Bubblegum always being sent off to dimensions?"

"Because it makes it more interesting. Plus, anyone who watches the Flash will keep along with what'll happen in the next episode~~."~~

~~"I don't think I like that..." Beastman said-... "Stop narrating what I'm doing!" He yelled.~~

~~"Look, here's another spoiler for the next Flash episode next week to cheer everybody up..."~~
Barry teams up with "Captain Cold", AKA: Leonard Snart, to help steal some alien crystals that King Shark so happens to have. They need these crystals to trap Savitar in the speedforce so he won't kill Iris. Will they get these in time to save her life?

~~"Dude, that is so sad..." Sheds a tear then gasps. "WHAT IF BUBBLEGUM IS GOING TO DIE IN THE FUTURE AND WE DON'T KNOW IT?!"~~

~~"It's ok, Beastman. Bubblegum won't die.~~ Looks through script ~~Yeah she won't die..."~~

~~"Why did you have to look in the script to find that out? Aren't you the author?"~~

~~"BEASTMAN JUST STOP BREAKING THE FOURTH WALL! YOU KNOW TOO MUCH!" Shoves Beastman back into the story. "Now, where was I..."~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~Barry raced back to S.T.A.R. Labs.~~

~~"Did you find her?" Cisco asked, anxious.~~

~~"Yes..."~~

~~"Where is she?"~~

~~"I wanted to tell you she's on our side."~~

~~"Then how come she-..."~~

~~"She didn't even do anything. You're just overreacting about this whole thing. I had to reset the timeline. that's why you guys don't remember her. Our city was burning into flames. Before that, her and Cisco had a 'thing' together-..."~~

~~"Woah woah woah woah woah so your telling me I was in love with a human with wings and a unicorn horn?"~~

~~"Well, sort of a human... You promised her you'd never forget her but here we are now."~~

~~"Well, I didn't know you had reset the timeline..." Cisco started to get a vibe of everything that happened when he had met Bubblegum and in between when he left the dimension. He also regained his feelings, too.~~

~~"Look, I know you guys will have to get used to working or being friends with someone who is from another dimension-..."~~

~~"I do NOT agree!" HR said. "In fact, I am from-..."~~

~~"Earth 19!" EWveryone said in unison.~~

~~"Well, yeah yeah. From earth 19. And you all are friends with me. So, this shouldn't be hard, right?"~~

~~They all thought. "No. It shouldn't"~~

~~"Yeah so maybe you could try being friends with this person."~~

~~"I don't know, Barry." Joe said. "Remember when we trusted Hunter Zolomon? He betrayed us."~~

~~"Well, I've actually worked with her, so, I know she's not evil like he was."~~

~~"Ok. But if she tries to shoot us, I am pulling the trigger."~~

Chapter Thirty-five, Dead?

Bubblegum, hiding as a refugee, stayed in the apartment, waiting for Barry to get back after she heard he had his memory back.

"Hey Iris?" She asked, lying on the couch.

"Yes?"

"Do you think that he'll remember me?"

"I'm not sure. But there's only one way to find out."

Almost on time, Barry walked right through the door.

"Iris!" He wrapped his arms around her but then sees Bubblegum. "Oh my God..... Bubblegum?"

"He remembered!" She exclaimed.

"How did you get here? I thought you were gone for good!"

"Well, not exactly... I'm sort of punished for a week."

"And I overheard Cisco talking to Julian about you, too."

She frowned. "Yeah. They kinda wanna kill me."

Barry frowned also. "I know what it feels like to have someone you love not remember you loved them."

"Wait," Iris interupted. "You do?"

"Yeah. It was the time I accidentally reset the timeline."

"Well," Bubblegum flew up into the air. "It's not exactly that bad. I mean, I've found another stallion I love. He's sweet, smart, funny..."

"Hmmm," Barry said, thoughtfully. "Is it that 'Beastman' guy?"

She blushed. "Maybe... I'm gonna ask him out tonight. But only if I can get back to Equestria..." She thought for a moment. "I've got it! Here's the plan..."

"Are you sure that'll work?" Barry asked, after she explained the plan.

"Of course it will! I'll make an illusion of myself to make them think I'm dead. It'll be awesome! "
~~~~~~~~~~
They showed up at S.T.A.R. Labs with a fake, dead Bubblegum in Barry's arms. He walked up to Cisco and showed him the fake pony.

"Hey Cisco... I found Bubblegum at the side of the road. I think she's dead. The best thing to probably do is to bury her in her own dimension."

Cisco looked with wide eyes.

"What the heck, Barry! Why did you kill her?!"

"I didn't! If you listened-..."

"I was. But what road did you find her on?"

Barry was sweating a bit. "Um... Main."

"Ah I see. Are you sure of that?" Cisco squinted.

"Yes..." Barry's sweat was drippping off of his face.

Cisco got a vibe about the whole entire plan, but, he didn't say a word.

"Fine. I'll open a breach." He put on his glasses and stuck out his hand as a wormhole opened. "There you go. Have fun."

As Barry motioned the real Bubblegum to come (she was invisible), he, and Bubblegum, jumped through to Equestria.

Cisco sighed. "Why?... Why did I let her go!" He pounded the table in front of him as he started to cry. "I could've-.... She could've...."
~~~~~~~~~~~
"I can't believe the plan actually worked!" Bubblegum shouted with joy. "Aww! I didn't say 'good-bye' to Iris!"

"I'll tell her for you." Barry said, smiling. " But I am wondering how come the plan didn't have a downside."

She tilted her head. "What do you mean?"

"Well, usually Cisco would get a vibe about what's going on. Unless-..." Suddenly, he was interupted by Beastman and Physco appearing.

"Ah, yes." Physco said, trying to act sophisticated. "He most certainly did get a vibe."

"He did?" Bubblegum pondered.

"Yes. It is unanimous. See how, in this clip, he paused for a second?" Physco pulled down a white screen and showed the scene.

"Yes-..." Barry got interupted.

"But you can see in his eyes that he is.... what's the word.... guilty?"

"Guilty?" Beastman asked. "Guilty of what?"

"Guilty of letting her go. You see, he still has a crush on her."

"He does?" Bubblegum yelped excitedly. "I can't believe it!"

Beastman frowned. He still liked Bubblegum too. But didn't want to get in the way. Then, Physco spoke again.

"But, he doesn't want to believe it." He drinks some wine.

"Oh..." She sat down and frowned. "Well, thanks for letting us know, Physco. Bye Beastman."

Barry left back through the wormhole as Bubblegum left off towards Twilight's castle.
~~~~~~
She knocked on her door as Twilight opened the door worriedly.

"Quickly, get in!" Twilight pulled her inside.

"What's going on, Twilight?"

"I just read about how you caused a thungerstorm in Canterlot!" She pointed at a newspaper. "They sentenced you to a week in a dimension. How come your back already?!"

"Oh...." She blushed. "I had a few friends help."

"Stay with me until Tuesday and you should be fine. But that should be 74.62391 hours from now! Oh! What am I supposed to do!" She started to rush around the library as Bubblegum sat, annoyed.

She rolled her eyes. "Listen, Twilight, I understand you wanna help me, but, I am pretty sure I'll be fine."

"Gasp! I just realized Princess Luna and Princess Celestia wanted me to bring you back from the other dimension Tuesday! What am I supposed to do now!"

"STOP FREAKING OUT!" Bubblegum yelled. "Sigh I have some other ponies who will help me. Thanks anyway."

As Bubblegum started to leave, Twilight grabbed her shoulder.

"Wait! I'm sorry for overeacting. I'll help you now."

"No you won't!" Shadow said in his cave. "I've tried sending her to another dimension forever but that didn't work out. I've tried turning her into a giant but Zecora cured her. I've already tried turning her into a bat pony but Twilight cured her... Wait... Twilight has helped her through all of my curses. Maybe if I got rid of Twilight Sparkle... No, that would cause too much panic and it would be plainly obvious. Aha! I will turn her into something dispised by humanity... A dragon! But not just any dragon... The big, tall type! With wings and two horns on the top of her head! But I will do it... Wednesday!"

Chapter Thirty-six, Training PT1

"These eggs taste delicious, Twilight!" Bubblegum said, happily.

"Thanks!" She looked at Bubblegum. "Why were you yelling in your sleep last night?"

"Um..." She started to sweat. "Well, I don't know. Maybe I just.... Sleep-talk?" She smiled nervously.

"Are you sure?" Twilight said, pouring coffee into her mug.

"Yep!"

Suddenly, someone started to knock on the door.

"I wonder who that could be..."

Twilight walked to her door and opened it. It appeared to be Physco and Beastman.

"Is Bubblegum here?" Physco asked with a straight face.

"Um, yes-..."

They then barged past her and towards Bubblegum, who was stuffing eggs in her face.

"Hehe... Hi guys-..."

"Have you had any dreams about Shadow lately?"

"Well, last night."

"AHA!" Twilight gasped. "I knew there was a reason for your yelling!"

They looked at her with a "seriously?" type of face.

"Sorry. Continue please."

"Anyways..." Physco took out a notebook and pencil. "How good are you at fighting?"

"I guess average. Especially with my magic!" She then used her magic to pick up the fork and eat some eggs.

"But what about without your magic?"

"I guess I'd be pretty sucky-..."

"Alright!" Physco interupted her. "Training it is then."

"Training? Training for what?"

"Training for fighting Shadow."

He put the notebook down as he teleported Bubblegum, him, Beastman out of the castle as Twilight frowned.

"Great!" She crossed her arms. "What will I tell the princesses? Unless she comes back before Tuesday."
~~~~~~~~~~
They all showed up at some place that looked dead but there were rocks everywhere.

"Where are we?" She asked, looking around.

"We're in a romote place nopony has ever heard of before; the Rocky Plains." Beastman said, half smiling.

"This is where we train." Physco gave Bubblegum a silver sword and gave himself a golden sword. "This place is also magic free." He smiled.

"Magic... Free?" She gulped. "But, how will we get back?"

He then points to a hot air balloon.

"Wait, but we have wings! Can't we just fly back?"

"It's a long fly back, so, your wings would get tired."

"Sigh Fair enough." She then looks at the swords. "But wait a minute. How come you get the gold sword and I get silver?"

"The silver has been used more, so therefore, it has less durability. I'm teaching you how to fight with broken weapon before fighting with used ones-..."

"Woah woah woah. How come it's not the other way around?" Beastman look at the script. "Oh! This makes way more sense! Carry on."

"Because if someone gives you a weapon that claims to be 'unused', you can still fight with one. Plus, if you break that one, I've made plenty of copies before we came."

You'll do it for him, and then you'll do it again
You'll do it for her, and now you'll say, I'll do it for him
Keep your stance wide, keep your body lowered as you're moving forward balance is the key
Right hoof, left hoof, now go even faster! And as you're moving backward, keep your eyeson me

Bubblegum
Keep my stance wide, keep my body lowered as I'm moving forward
Right hoof, left hoof

Physco
Great! Now put your whole body into it!
Everything you have, everything you are you've got to give on the battlefield!
When everything is chaos!
And you have nothing but the way you feel, your strategy, and a sword
You'll just think about the life you'll have together after the fight!
And then you do it for him, that's how you know you can win
You'll do it for her, that is to say, you'll do it for him
Deep down, you know, that you weren't built for fighting
But that doesn't mean you're not prepared to try
What they don't know is your real advantage
Is when you live for someone, your prepared to die!

Bubblegum
Deep down, I know, that I am just a pony

Both
But I know that (I/you) can draw my sword and fight.

Bubblegum
With my long existance, I can make a difference
I can be there for him, I can be his knight

Physco
You'd do it for him
Ok, now do that again
You do it for her and now you say:

Bubblegum
I'll do this for him
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After about 3 hours of training, they made it back to the castle at 8:37 PM (they left at 3:00 PM).

"Where were you guys?" Twilight asked, stomping her hoof on the floor.

"The Rocky Plains." Bubblegum said, excitedly. "We had fun training though."

"Fun?" Physco frowned. "Training is not about fun! This training is serious!"

"Yeah!" Beastman agreed. "Especially since he's been your villain ever since you came to Equestria!"

"Bubblegum, I know your training has a purpose, but, tomorrow is Tuesday! And we've gotta get up at 5:30 AM if we're gonna trick the princesses in thinking you were gone for the whole week!"

"Oh right! I'm so sorry! I had an exciting day with you guys!" She looks over at Beastman and blushes. "Maybe, tomorrow after the whole trickery, we could train again."

"I was thinking that anyways." Beastman looked at Physco.

"And, you get armor too."

"Gasp Really?! I could be a pony version of Wonder Woman!" She laughed. "But I doubt it."

"Anyways," Twilight interupted. "Time for you all to go! Bye bye!" She shoved them out the door. "Phew!" She then looked behind Bubblegum's back. "What's that?"

"Um, nothing..."

"What is it?" She then teleported behind her and grabbed it. "A SWORD?! YOU WERE TRAINING WITH SWORD?!"

"It's not that bad!" She protested. "Besides, it's a broken sword."

"I don't care! You could've came back without a head! Or even worse, had a limb chopped off of you!"

"Twilight I'm fine! Besides, it's not like I haven't touched a sword before."

"YOU'VE TOUCHED A SWORD BEFORE TODAY?!"

"Yes.... Technically. It was grandfathers sword. I mean, I didn't use it. He just let me touch it. But he showed me how to use a sword. And, aparently, I remembered well."

"Bubblegum, may I ask you a question?"

"Sure."

"Can you please go to bed?"

"Sigh Fine."

Is Twilight just trying to control Bubblegum or keep her safe? Find out in the next chapter! :heart:

Chapter Thirty-seven, Training PT2

Today is Tuesday. The day of the greatest lies in the history of alicorns. Wonder if they could pull it off…

“Ok, Bubblegum, so here’s the plan: I’m going to teleport you over to the ‘rocky plains’ area while the princesses are here. Then, I’ll pretend to make a warphole and teleport you back.”

Bubblegum looked at Twilight, confused. “Will this work?”

“Yeah… Well, maybe.” She smiled nervously. “Besides, if they can open portals, then I can open fake portals.”

“Ok…”

“Quick! They’re gonna be here any minute!”

Twilight quickly teleported Bubblegum as the Princesses, Luna and Celestia, came through the door.

“Good evening, Twilight.” Luna said, happily.

“Good evening to you too, Luna.”

“So, let’s get this all straightened out after last week.” Celestia frowned.

“Yes, your majesty.”

Twilight used her magic to create a visual image to make it look like there was a portal as Bubblegum appeared behind and jumped through the smoke. She began to cough.

“Cough Good morning! Has it really been a week? Wow! I can’t believe it!”

“Princess Bubblegum!” Luna threw her arms around her, hugging her. “I can’t believe it! Your back!”

“Hehe yeah… I’m probably never gonna show my face in public again, am I?”

“Oh, Bubblegum, that was just a simple misunderstanding. Of course you can.”

“Really?!”

“Yes. The public forgives easily. Trust me, I know.” She smiled.

“Well, I best be going.” Bubblegum chuckled nervously.

“Where are you going?”

“I don’t know…” Bubblegum tapped her chin. “I don’t even have a house to be honest.”

“This whole time you’ve been here you haven’t had a house?” Celestia asked.

“No. I’ve mostly slept in Twilight’s castle.”

Luna whispered into Celestia’s ear with a huge grin on her face.

“Very well then.” Celestia stated. “Bubblegum, you will have your own castle by next week.”

Bubblegum was overwhelmed with happiness. I mean, a castle?! She hugged Luna and Celestia.

“Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!” She exclaimed.

“You are most welcome.” Luna said. “We must get to work on your castle right away.”

“Do you need help?”

“Oh no! We can do this with our magic mostly. We’ll be fine. But first off,” She grabbed a notebook. “What type of design would you want your castle?”

“Well, I would like-... Actually, it’s hard to explain.” She blushed and grabbed a picture. “Here’s a blueprint of what I would like. Just to help you get started.”

Luna and Celestia looked. “Well, where would you like it? I mean, Twilight is already the princess of Ponyville, we’re the princesses of Canterlot, and Cadence is the Princess of the Crystal empire. And I doubt that the ponies of Appleoosa would want a princess.” She frowned.

“Well, can’t there be two princesses of Ponyville? I mean, there’s already two princesses in Canterlot, so, maybe there’s a chance?”

“I don’t know, Bubblegum. We will figure things out.” Celestia said as she bent down and put her hoof on her shoulder. “I promise.”
~~~~~~~
As they waved goodbye, Bubblegum and Twilight breathed a sigh of relief.

“That was close!” Twilight said, smiling.

“I know, right? They almost found out we were fooling with them.”

“Shh! Just in case they’re listening!” They both laughed.

“Bubblegum!” Physco knocked on the door. “Time for training!”

“Coming!” She grabbed her saddlebag and sword as she said ‘bye’ to Twi.
~~~~~
“So what are we learning today?” She said, excitedly.

“Well, unfortunately, because of royal duties, this is our last day of training.”

She frowned. “Why?”

“Well, we just…” He sighed. “My daughter is having a party tonight and wants us to be there.”

“Ooooo!” She said. “Am I invited?”

“I don’t know yet. I’m sure you are.” He got serious again. “But, time to get started training. Today, we are going to learn about defense…”
~~~~~
"No no Luna!" Celestia yelled with her hard hat on. "The supporter is supposed to go on the left! Not the middle!"

"I'm trying the best I can! It's hard to read these blueprints..." As Luna put in the final supporter, she took a look at the blueprint and back at the castle. "Wait a minute.... Oops! They were upside down." She blushed.

The castle had been started on Wednesday after breakfast. So far, they had the basement, foundation, floors, and then the supporters and walls. It was about a five or six story castle, so they had to get it just right or else the whole thing would fall down!

Luna looked at Celestia as they put the nails, screws, and all the other things they needed and started to get back to work.
~~~~~~
"And that's it for today's lesson." Physco exclaimed. "Learn anything?"

"Yeah..." Bubblegum said, looking at Beastman.

"Good." Physco looked at hit watch. " It's a quarter after seven and Phydark's party is at 8:00. We've gotta get going. Bye." He grabs Beastman's hoof as Bubblegum stops them really quick.

"Ask them if I'm invited while your there please. I've got nothing better to do and would love going somewhere."

Physco rolls his eyes as he says: "Fine."

"And do not, and I mean do NOT try to get me to drink beer again!"

Bubblegum had never drank beer before until about a month ago when Physco literally forced her into a guilt trip and made her drink beer. She drank a lot of it that night and ended up getting drunk and sleeping with Beastman in a tent and/or sleeping bag. She also cussed. (I know she may sound like a mary sue, but, she's just a reflection of my own personality. I don't drink nor do I cuss. Now, playing Super Mario 3D World makes me wanna cuss because I freaking can't beat the last level! Anyways, I'm just nice to others and a bit shy. So yeah, back to the story.) Of course, you never know what you'll do when your drunk so, it wasn't technically her fault.

"But-..."

"No buts! And no beer! I don't want mares or stallions hitting on me!"

He sighed. "Fine! Now bye!"

Bubblegum flew back to Twilight's castle after a few short breaks every now and then since it was a long way back.
~~~~~
After a few days of Celestia and Luna got done building Bubblegum's castle, they were proud when they were done. It was a nice shade of dark blue like the night sky and light pink like the setting sun. It even had sparkles all over it.

"Wait a second..." Luna pondered. "Why did I make Bubblegum a princess anyway?"

"I don't know." Celestia sat there for a second. "I mean, what's her purpose as a princess? We've got you and me as princesses of the sun and moon, Cadence as the princess of love, and Twilight as the princess of friendship."

Luna thought for a moment as she sat on a nearby bench.

What has Bubblegum taught me the whole time she's been to Equestria? She thought. Well, I remember she was there for me in the moments when I needed someone. Maybe she could be the princess of encouragement? No no... That's a bit too much. What about the princess of courage? Naw. Even I have seen her scared before. Aha! I've got it! The princess recirocity!

"I've got it!"

"Got what?" Celestia whispered.

Luna smiled. "Bubblegum will be the princess of reciprocity."

She tilted her head, confused. "Reciprocity?"

"Yes...." Luna looked at her. "Is something wrong with my choice, dear sister?"

"No no. I just... Didn't think you'd choose something that important in a friendship."

"Well, you should know that I would've chosen something like that."

"True."
~~~~~~~
As Bubblegum opened the door to Twilight's castle, she flopped onto the floor.

"Something wrong?" Twilight asked as she washed dishes.

"I'm just.... so.... exhausted!" She managed to catch her breath while she spoke.

"Well, how did training go?"

"Not very good...." She stood up. "First we were learning about defense but.... I just got extremely distracted somehow. And I'm great at focusing."

Twilight grinned. "Were you looking at Beastman the whole time?"

She blushed. "Maybe... He's just.... So cute when he's wearing his hat."

"Well, I think he's into you."

"What? What makes you say that?"

"The way he looks and talks to you. Trust me, one time, I was dating this pegasus named Twilight Sky or something. He never did tell me his name after just once so.... But anyways, we dated for a bit and he kept looking at me like this 😍." She made the expression on her face while talking. "And he always seemed to talk with a low, kinda childish voice. Of course, I only dated him because I didn't want to make him sad. He looked a little cute though."

Bubblegum stood there, shocked. "You mean, you dated someone?"

"Yeah. For the princess of friendship to have a coltfriend is sort of stunning. Even to me." She grabbed some peanut butter on a knife and licked it.

Just as she got done, Physco and Beastman showed up.

"Did he say I'm invited?!" She asked them excitedly.

"Yeah." Beastman started. "He also said he's sorry for not sending you an invitation."

"Oh it's ok. Is it like a costume party or just a regular one?"

"It's just a normal party." Physco said, irritated.

"Ok, Mr. Grouchy! Geez. It's 7:52. We should be going."

As Bubblegum came closer to Beastman and Physco, they all teleported to the dark kingdom.

Chapter Thirty-eight, Party Gone Wrong

Bubblegum, Beastman, and Physco all arrived the Physco's kingdom, seeing all the party balloons and lanterns outside.

"Wow, I never knew you were a party planner, Physco."

"I'm not. This is my sons work." He then face palmed himself. "Besides, I would most probably go with different shades of red."

Bubblegum frowned, realizing what he meant.

They all three walked inside to see the punch table and DJ over on the opposite sides of the room. Bubblegum ran over to the dance floor to, ya know, dance. She looked over to see Beastman walk over towards her, obviously wanting to dance with all the other ponies.

Physco then moaned. "I'm gonna go on my 'shopping spree'.... for blood." He grabbed his sword and teleported away from everyone else to kill ponies.

Bubblegum danced for about 12 minutes without looking at Beastman. She tried to find him on the dance floor but realized he was gone. She shrugged and continued about her night. Getting thirsty, she went over to the punch stand to get a drink, seeing Phydark over there by himself.

"Nice party, Phydark." Bubblegum said, taking a sip of her fruit punch. "I never would've thought you could throw a party this big before!"

Phydark looked at her, blushing. "Thanks. Very much appreciated...."

"Well, you're welcome." She smiled kindly back. "Say, have you seen Beastman anywhere?"

"Come to think of it, no. Last I saw uncle Beastman, he was teleporting himself somewhere while he was on the dance floor."

Bubblegum thought about this for a second. Beastman doesn't have a horn. How in Equestria could he have teleported himself anywhere in the first place? Then she realized.

"Quick! You need to shut the party down!"

"Why?..."

"This has to be the work of-...."

Suddenly, a wind stirred up inside the castle, like a tiny tornado. And there he was. Shadow!

"Ha ha aha! Look at all you puny ponies!"

Bubblegum saw him holding a pony with the shadows he has. Oh my gosh! The pony was-....

"BEASTMAN!"

The ponies at the party screamed with fear, running here and there.

"Well, well, well.... If it isn't my 'magical' Princess Bubblegum! What are you going to do, cry?" Shadow laughed, apparently satisfied with his choice of words.

"Put Beastman down!" She yelled.

"Why? Because you love him?" He said, managing to put an evil smile on his face.

"YES! Love is more powerful than fear! Just like life is more powerful than death! I know that now!" Tears began to well up in her eyes. "Why do you do this?! Why do you want to hurt everyone?! Are you lonely or something?!"

Shadow completely froze, with a clueless, yet frightened, Bubblegum standing in front of him.

"Do you just want a friend....?" She stopped for a second, straining less.

There was a long pause between Shadow and Bubblegum looking at each other for the longest time. Then he began to speak.

"I...... I don't know who you think you are! Messing with my emotions that way! That just makes me want to kill him even more!" He held a knife up to Beastman's neck. "I WILL DO IT!"

That's when everything changed.... Bubblegum came closer to him, unafraid of what was about to happen. She walked up as close to him as she possibly could, looked up at him, then touched his arm (or shadow arm that is).

Bubblegum managed a smile. "I'll be your friend."

Shadow then backed off a bit, confused. "Why? Why!" He made a disgusted look on his face. "Why would you want to be friends with me after all that I've done to you?... I've hurt you and your friends, turned you into monsters, and almost killed the ones you love! If anything, you should fear me!"

She looked deep into his eyes. " Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old." She smiled once again. "I forgive you for everything you've done."

Shadow felt a tear streak down his cheek as he smiled, letting go of Beastman. "Do you really mean that?"

She nodded, giving him the "everything is OK" sign.

"Very well then."

She gasped as he began to shrink from this huge shadow into an actual pony. He had a rose on his chest on it's vines going around his body and up his horn and wings. His cutie mark consisted of stars and clouds mixed together. He had green eyes, too. And he was a dark gray.

Shadow smiled. " Thank you for showing me what true friendship is, princess of reciprocity."

Bubblegum was suddenly confused. "Princess of Reciprocity?"

"It means the quality or state of being reciprocal; dependence, action, or influence. And you, Bubblegum, have influenced me to become a better pony. I thank you dearly!"

Bubblegum then felt something on her chest, head, and hooves. She looks down to see a necklace and shoes as blue as the night sky with what appeared to be sparkly stars on them. She then felt her head to feel a crown with a flower on it, in the middle was her cutie mark.

"I-I don't know what to say! Thank you!" She hugged him as he blushed.

"I've never been hugged before.... But it feels so nice and gives me a tingly feeling inside. What is this feeling?"

She smiled. "I believe it is called happiness!"

"I ought to talk to my sisters since the last time I talked to them was hundreds of moons ago."

Bubblegum pulled away since their hug was over. "Who are your sisters?"

"Princess Celestia and Princess Luna."

She was taken aback by shock. "Y-your siblings with Princess Celestia and Luna?! No way!"

He nodded. "And last time I ever even saw them, I was taking you into the Flash dimension." He frowned. "Look, Bubblegum, I am truly sorry for the way I treated you and the others.... Can I ever repay you?"

Bubblegum grinned. "There is one way..."

"What is it? I'll do anything!"

"Becoming my friend."

Shadow's eyes grew wider. "Fr.... iends?"

"You sound confused."

"Well, I've never really had any friends."

"I guess I can be your first one then!" She smiled.

Chapter Thirty-nine, Romance

It had been a couple days since the party had taken place. Peace was once again restored in the land of Equestria. With Shadow reunited with his family and no more evil plots to kill, or destroy, Bubblegum's life, it had actually gotten a bit boring to be honest.

But, nevertheless, Bubblegum had grown feelings towards a certain dragon-pony named Beastman Sunra Fire-fox; the, supposedly, son of Princess Celestia along with his brother Physco Fire-fox. Of course, Twilight, and the rest of the main 6, already knew about this and started to torment her about it. For example, each time that he was nearby, they would whisper, "Oooo! There's Beastman!" to her. She would blush and start to walk away, but that can't, and won't, hide the fact that she has feelings towards him.

About a month later was when things started to heat up.... Literally.

"Hey Twilight, look at this!" Bubblegum suddenly ran over to a sign on a lamppost. "Kitchen now hiring. I can finally get a job!"

Twilight almost busted out laughing. "A job? Are you serious?"

"... What's wrong with getting a job?"

"Well, princesses don't need to get jobs. You see, Princess Celestia is the richest pony in Equestria. She would, and will, pay for anything."

Bubblegum frowned at this thought. She missed her dimension where she wasn't a princess a little bit. She liked the thrill and rush of being hired or having a job. But, now that she was the "Princess of Reciprocity", she didn't even need to do anything but smile and wave like the penguins in Madagascar movies.

"Oh..."

"It's ok, Bubblegum. I'm sure something greater than getting a job as a waitress will come up soon."

"I guess you're right..."

As soon as she got done saying that, Bubblegum looked over her shoulder to see a shy Beastman blushing as he's being pushed by Physco. He walks slowly up to Bubblegum with a rose in his mouth.

"Um.... Would you like to go to a fancy restaurant with me?" He took the rose out as he hands it to Bubblegum.

She blushed. "Um, I'll have to think about it. Give me until 5:00 PM and I'll have an answer."

He grinned real big. "Thanks, Bubbles!" He ran off.

Bubbles? She thought. What a cute nickname!

Twilight smirked. "A date, huh? Let's take you to Rarity's and get you a dress!"
~~~~~
"A date?!" Rarity yelled. "With your crush?! Oh my Celestia! How adorable! I'll find the cutest dress for you to wear!"

Soon enough, Rarity began to dig through a stack of clothes, trying to find one of her dresses for Bubblegum to wear. First she picked out a pink and white one but.... No-one would probably guess she was wearing a dress until they looked hard enough. Then, she picked out a green one, but, this one had a dark, ugly shade to it.

"Good heavens!" She sighed. "I'll have to look in the other closet."

Bubblegum and Twilight waited for a while until Rarity finally appeared.

"It's an oldie, but, here you go!"

Bubblegum's eyes widened when she saw this dress. It was the same dress she wore to the Grand Galloping Gala last year. It was the time she was dating Fire Hoof and the time Shadow came and told everyone she was an alicorn.

"You-... This dress-..... I... Don't know what to say." Bubblegum felt light headed.

"Is there something wrong, darling?" Rarity checked the dress to make sure there were no scarps nor mud on it.

"No there's nothing wrong with it, per se." She frowned. "Just the event I went to with it."

Rarity and Twilight gasped. "I almost forgot you wore this to the Gala, sweetheart. I'm so sorry. Would you like a different one?"

"No no it's fine. I can wear it... It just gave back memories, that's all..."

Bubblegum took the dress and changed.

"Um...." Bubblegum came out, the dress suddenly didn't fit anymore.

"Oh! I'm so sorry."

Twilight intervened. "Ahem!" She pointed to her horn.

Rarity squinted. "What's wrong with your horn?"

She rolled her eyes. "Nothing is wrong with my horn. I was pointing out that I can make the dress bigger with my magic."

Bubblegum smiled. "Do you want me to take the dress off?"

"Yeah. We don't want that 'incident' happening again." They all three frowned, remembering the time Bubblegum turned into a giant.

"Yep! I agree!" Rarity said almost immediately. "But just in case, let's go outside."

The three of them went outside after Bubblegum took the dress off to do the spell.

"Ready?" Twilight said, determined.

"Ready!"

Twilight's horn glowed with magic and sparkles bouncing to and fro as it hit the dress. It began to grow to a size 4 when she stopped.

"I think that's a good enough size, right?" Twilight grinned as they both smiled.
~~~~~~
At Bubblegum's castle, Bubblegum just got all ready when Beastman showed up at the door by 5:00.

"So, did you think about it?" He blushed, seeing her in the dress.

"Yes."

"And your answer is...?"

"Yes." She smiled.

Beastman's eye's lit up as a small, blue dragon suddenly appeared behind him with a newspaper.

"Um, excuse me, but, is this Princess Zhevatel'naya rezinka residence?"

Bubblegum froze. "Princess who?"

"Princess Zhevatel'naya rezinka. In other words, Bubblegum in Russian." He said, holding a notepad and pencil. "Oh I'm sorry! I forgot to introduce myself! Silly me! My name is John."

She almost cracked up. "John? Out of all the weird names in this dimension you're here with the name John?" He frowned. "Oh I'm sorry. Yes. I am Princess Bubblegum. Is there anything I can help you with?"

"Why yes. I was sent here by a Mr. тень."

Again, she looked at him with a confused face.

He sighed. "Shadow."

"Ohhhh! Ok! Why didn't you say so?"

"I did." He flipped the notebook papers. "So, anyways, I was sent here by Shadow for a birthday gift since he didn't know when your birthday was as an assistant to help around with your castle. He also made something with his magic so you can put on top of your castle."

She walked outside to see a half moon on top of it, floating. She smiled.

"Tell him I said thank you. Was it Luna's idea?"

He nodded. "So, all you have to do is sign here and here and you'll have an assistant."

Bubblegum read it as she agreed to sign. To grabbed a pencil and wrote her name into the name slots he pointed out.

"But, you don't have to work today." She grinned. "I'm going on a date."

John's eyes widened. "A... date?"

"Yes." She said, confused. "Is there something wrong?"

"Well, Princesses don't exactly go on dates."

"Well, I guess I'll be the first one. Bye bye, John! I want you at work tomorrow at 7:30 AM." She said as her and Beastman started to walk away.

"Um, I'm actually supposed to... live with you." He frowned, annoyed.

Chapter Forty, Date

Bubblegum and Beastman made it to the restaurant he invited her to. She looked up at the name of the restaurant to see what it was called. Sizzling Sapphires? This was the same name of the restaurant she was hoping to sign up to work for.

"Sizzling Sapphires..." She said, quietly.

"What was that?" He turned around.

"Oh I was just reading the name of the restaurant, that's all." She smiled.

"Ok."

They walked inside. Instead of a fancy restaurant, he had taken her to a country themed restaurant. Where there were peanuts in barrels and ponies dressed like cowboys and cowgirls alike. sort of like the restaurant back in the human realm called Colton's.

"Wow." She exclaimed.

"Something wrong?"

"Oh no. Nothing's wrong. Just the fact that this reminds me a lot of another restaurant back in the human realm."

"Ah! You mean Colton's, don't you?"

She nodded, smiling as he laughed.

"I knew it would."

She giggled. "I remember one time, when I was 12, me and my family went to Colton's after church with a boy named Sutton and a guy called John. Sutton had a way with people. When we were talking, him and John started talking about something really weird. And, just a reminder, John was 80 something. But, anyways, there was a lady behind us all in a booth that kept laughing. So he turned around and yelled to her, 'I'm sorry. We didn't mean to intrude.' and she laughed even harder. Then, the waiter came over after Sutton had spilt his drink. It was actually my birthday when it happened. But, he asked the waiter, 'Where's my sundae?' the waiter replied, 'You have to buy one.' So, Sutton offered to help him carry his dishes to the kitchen so he could get a free sundae. And, surprise surprise, he actually got one.... With two cherries instead of one. He gave his extra cherry to me though."

"Wow." Beastman said. "What a vivid story."

"It actually happened."

"Well, it's good that you got another cherry, I guess." He chuckled. "Anyways, let's eat, shall we?"

It was quiet shocking to Bubblegum when she walked around the restaurant, it looked exactly like Colton's. The floor, the furniture, everything! They sat down in a booth and looked at the menu. Of course, here in Sizzling Sapphires, it didn't cost as much since everything was literally a bit or two in Equestria. Well, it was a bit more expensive than that though. About 12 or 13 bits per sandwich and/or steak. But it was worth it.

"I think I'm gonna get the onion rings." Beastman said as Bubblegum looked up at him. "You ok?"

"That's the same thing Sutton ordered." She looked at the menu. "And, once again, I am going with the sweet potato fries with the marshmallow dipping sauce." She smiled, remembering almost everything.

The waitress came over and took the orders after asking what drinks they wanted. The waitress was Cupid.

"Cupid?" Bubblegum asked. "Is that you?"

"Yeah." She said, holding a tray. "This is my Summer job."

"....Job?...." Bubblegum said. "Did you see the sign on the lamppost?"

"Yeah. They were only needing one pony surprisingly."

Bubblegum had got infuriated. If Twilight hadn't have stopped her from getting the job, she could've made some money of her own instead of acting like a spoiled rich kid crawling to mommy or daddy wanting money.

She sighed, taking deep breaths i and out. "It's ok, Bubblegum, it's ok..." She whispered.

"So, you were wanting onion rings and sweet potato fries with the marshmallow sauce?" She repeated.

"Yes..." Beastman said, glancing over at Bubblegum with a concerned face. "And we'll take a steak, too"

"Ok. I'll come back when your finished eating."

When Cupid left, Bubblegum began to grind her teeth together in frustration.

"Bubblegum, are you sure you're alright?"

"No I mean yes, I mean-..... I don't know anymore." She frowned. "If Twilight hadn't have stopped me from getting this job, I could've made some money, had a job!" She sighed.

"It's ok Bubblegum." He put his hoof on her arm. "At least you have free time, your royalty, and you are rich." He chuckled. "Not very often do ponies get to be like that."

"I guess you're right. It just, would've been nice to have one."

"I know. But, if you would like a job, you could be a maid in Physco's kingdom."

"Well, as much as I would like a job, I would have to say no. While I can be many things, being a maid is not one of them." She chuckled.

Darn-it! Beastman thought. I would've loved to see her in a dress like that!

"Ok!" He managed a smile, trying to play it cool.

"Your food is here." Cupid came back with a tray full of their things. "Would you like anything else?"

"We're fine." She said.

"Alrighty then! Here's the receipt."

"Thanks, Cupid."

"You're welcome." She gasped, excitedly. "Omg Bubblegum! There's a karaoke machin! You should sing!"

Bingo! He thought.

"I guess."

"C'mon!" She dragged Bubblegum by the arm and put her on the stage.

She sat there for a second before clearing her throat.

Bubblegum

Everyone started clapping as Bubblegum bowed and left the stage. Beastman came up to her and smiled.

"That was so good! I loved it!" He hugged her as she hugged him back.
~~~~~~
After the rest of the date was over, Bubblegum made it to her house alright as she turned on the lights and saw John standing there, tapping his claw on her floor.

"Can I help you?" She looked at him as she put her dress up.

"Where have you been for the past 5 hours and 11 minutes?" He asked, angry.

"I already told you, I was out on a date."

"And I told you that princesses don't usually go on dates." He stopped tapping his claw. "Now, where is my room at in this huge thing?"

"Your room?"

"Yeah. You signed that paper I gave you and it said, 'If you agree to these terms, your new assistant will live with you, no pay.'."

"I read the whole thing and I saw nothing about you living with me!"

"Did you read the second paper?"

"Second paper?"

He got out his notebook and showed it to her.

"I didn't even know there was a second paper! That's false advertising!"

"No I believe it's called, 'read the whole summary before assuming'." He grinned.

Bubblegum frowned, annoyed. "Fine. You can have the bedroom downstairs."

She lead him further down the stairs than he had expected.

"Here you go. It's called 'luxury'." She grinned and turned on the lights.

John looked around to see that there were a few cobwebs here and there with some camel crickets.

"Um, excuse me, but, I believe this is the basement."

"I know."

He realized this was his room. "Hey! You said it was luxury!"

Bubblegum laughed. "It's called false advertising. I would like this place spotty clean by the morning." She smiled, testing him. "Now, I am going to bed. Chop chop!"

Chapter Forty-one, Slipping Through My Fingers

Bubblegum woke up. Ready to start the day as she just remembered John was downstairs cleaning all night.... Or at least she thought he had been. She races down the stairs in her pajamas and sees that the basement was now some pool hall with a bowling ally, too.

Bubblegum sat there, frozen with shock while pointing her hoof at all the things he had down there.

"Why good morning, Bubblegum." John said with a smirk. "I made a nutritious breakfast upstairs in the kitchen if you want some."

"But-.... How did-"

"I do this?" He interrupted her. "It's very simple. You hired an assistant and that's what you wanted, right?"

She nodded. "But-"

"So, that's what you got."

She straightened up, knowing that he knew her plan. "Alright. Now you can live down here. And yes I would like some breakfast, please. Is it hot?"

"Yes it is and it's in the microwave. I made biscuits and gravy."

She began to walk up the stairs, mouthing "Oh my gosh!"

How in the world did he manage to do that in just a small amount of hours?! She thought, taking a bite of her biscuits. It's just impossible!

That's when she had heard a knock at the castle doors. She looked through the peephole. It was Fire Hoof!

She sighed as she opened the doors. "Why are you here?"

He frowned. "I wanted to say I was sorry for treating you like you were some 'toy' I could play with. I should've trusted you more than that."

She raised an eyebrow. "A 'toy' you could play with, huh? You treated me worse than a toy, Fire! You treated me like dirt beneath your hooves!"

"Let me finish!" He growled, angrily. "Now listen, ok? I know I treated you badly and I'm asking your forgiveness! All that time, it was slipping through my fingers with me not asking your forgiveness!"

She was shocked to hear this but a bit suspicious. "Slipping through your 'fingers'? Hate to break it to ya, pal, but, you ain't got no fingers. And how would you even know what fingers are?"

He started to sweat. "Um, no reason."

"Ok, this is exactly why we broke up! You lie to me constantly!"

"Ok fine! I am from the human world, too. I didn't want to tell you, but.... Yeah."

Bubblegum looked at him for a second before she suddenly started to hear music playing. She looked down to see he had a boombox playing this soothing music before he started to sing.

Fire Hoof
Schoolbag in hand, she leaves home in the early morning
Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile
I watch her go with a surge of that well-known sadness
And I have to sit down for a while

The feeling that I'm losing her forever
And without really entering her world
I'm glad whenever I can share her laughter
That funny little girl

Slipping through my fingers all the time
I try to capture every minute
The feeling in it
Slipping through my fingers all the time
Do I really see what's in her mind
Each time I think I'm close to knowing
She keeps on growing
Slipping through my fingers all the time

Sleep in our eyes, her and me at the breakfast table
Barely awake, I let precious time go by
Then when she's gone, there's that odd melancholy feeling
And a sense of guilt I can't deny

What happened to the wonderful adventures
The places I had planned for us to go

Bubblegum
(Slipping through my fingers all the time)

Fire Hoof
Well, some of that we did but most we didn't
And why, I just don't know

Both
Sometimes I wish that I could freeze the picture
And save it from the funny tricks of time
Slipping through my fingers

Slipping through my fingers all the time

Schoolbag in hand she leaves home in the early morning
Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile

As the song stops, Fire Hoof looks up at her, crying.

"Bubblegum, I want us to be more than friends again!"

Bubblegum looked at him with a frown. "I'm sorry, Fire Hoof. I have my mind set on someone else."

He looked at her with a half smile. "Who is it?"

"It's Beastman, Son of Celestia."

Fire Hoof's heart was shattered in this moment. He scoffed. "I see. You only go after the royal ones, don't you?"

"What? no! We both have fallen in love with each other! It was only a couple days after I fell in love with him, did he tell me he was royalty!"

"But you couldn't tell by his brother's kingdom?"

"THIS IS EXACTLY WHY WE STOPPED GOING OUT! YOU GET JEALOUS EASILY!"

John had been a bit behind to hear the conversation.

"NOW GO! I need to eat the rest of my breakfast."

"But-"

"GO!"

Fire Hoof picked up his boombox and flew away as Bubblegum had tears in her eyes, trying to restrain them from coming out. She sat at the table with one biscuit left. Unfortunately, her guarding duties to keep her tears from coming out weren't good as they came trickling down her face, falling onto her plate. She began to sob as John came up behind her with a worried face before putting his claw on her shoulder. She managed to look up at him.

"Thing's will get better, Princess Жевательная резинка. Don't be sad." John hugged her.

For some reason, his voice was soothing for her. It made her feel calm.

"Oh, John!" She sobbed. "Why can't life be simple?..."

"Because life makes us who we are. Weather we're nice or rude like him, you're you and you keep it that way."

Sorry for the emotional break down. Bubblegum is feeling a bit angry and sad about the things that Fire Hoof does. Stay tuned for the next chapter! :heart:

Chapter Forty-two, Gotta Go Fast!

"Come on, Bubblegum! We're gonna be late!" Rainbow Dash yelled from below, trying to see if Bubblegum, who was on her balcony at the time, could hear her.

"I'm trying to hurry! I need to fix these plants."

"You can fix them later! I want to show you what the WonderBolts can do!"

Bubblegum agreed to go to the WonderBolts show with Rainbow Dash since she was gonna be in the show anyways.

"Alright! Alright! I am coming!" She said as she flew down from her balcony. "So, where do we go to see the WonderBolts?"

Rainbow laughed. "We fly up to Cloudsdale, duh! How else would we get there?"

She sat there with a sarcastic look on her face. "Ok... But where is Cloudsdale?"

She pointed up as Bubblegum saw it was right above her castle.

"What a surprise." She blushed, feeling stupid.

"Now let's go before we're late!"

As they both began to fly to Cloudsdale, one thing they didn't do was look down. Below, there was a small, horse-like, shadowy figure staring at them. Apparently, they just looked up towards Cloudsdale, completely blocking what was below.

When they made it, they saw the WonderBolts getting into position.

"Oh no!" Rainbow gasped. "They're starting without me! Bubblegum, just..... Sit right there."

She rolled her eyes as Rainbow Dash made it to them.

"Where have you been, Rainbow Crash?!" Spitfire yelled at her. "We're about to start!"

"Sorry, captain. A little princess held me back." She stared at Bubblegum, putting the guilt on her.

"Ponies do make mistakes, but you can't make them before the show starts! Got it?!"

"Yes, captain."

"Good."

They heard the whistle blow as they launched off from the starting point into the air, doing loops and spins in mid air. Bubblegum's eyes had lit up when she saw the Sonic Rainboom for the first time.

How can she do that?! Bubblegum thought, amazed by what she was seeing. It's absolutely amazing!

After 10 minutes of awesome tricks, they set the firework show up as they made their final moves as everyone started to clap.

"Woooo!"

"AMAZING!"

"I LOVE YOU, RAINBOW! <3"

They bowed and got off to get refreshments as Rainbow Dash walked over towards Bubblegum.

"So, what do ya think?"

"You were here then over here and then there and-... I was amazed in the end!"

She giggled. "That's good. Ya know how long it took us to perfect that?"

As Rainbow Dash started talking about herself, the same shadowy figure was right behind Bubblegum and flew into her horn once again. Bubblegum felt a surge of energy race through her as she looked down at her hooves. They seemed to shake.

"Is something wrong, Bubbles?"

Bubblegum's pupils grew small and thin for a split second. "I don't know.... I don't feel all that well."

"Maybe it's just because of how high we are. I'll take you back to your castle if you want."

"Ok."

As they flew down, Bubblegum's wings seemed to shake, too. Causing her to fall every now and then.

"Are you sure you're ok?" Rainbow asked as they had reached their destination.

She didn't seem to say anything as a black substance came from her horn and touched the ground, creating what seemed to be a portal underneath them.

"Bubblegum! What was that for?!"

She seemed to be laughing maniacally as she started to talk in a deep voice that seemed to echo a bit. "Mwahahah! I feel better than I ever have in my life! This power! This magic!-... What am I doing?" Bubblegum looked down at the portal. "Gah! We need to fly up! And fast!"

"What is happening to you?!" Rainbow Dash started to be sucked into the portal. "Bubblegum! Help me!"

"If I do, I'll be sucked in too!"

"At least try!"

Bubblegum obeyed and started to pull her up, but, unfortunately, fell in, too, as the portal closed.
~~~~~
They both woke up in this new dimension with weird colored grass (it was still green) and what seemed to be hills, levers, and trampolines everywhere.

"Where are we?" Rainbow said as she tried to fly. "Why can't I fly?!"

Bubblegum looked at Rainbow Dash's back to see that she didn't have wings.

"Um. I think I know the problem." She pointed at her back.

"What the hay?! Where are my wings?! Can you still fly?"

She shook her head. "I basically lost my hair, wings, tail, and horn. And they were replaced with fur and.... I think I am a two tailed fox with hands?"

"What are 'hands'?" Rainbow looked at her now hands which appeared to have gloves on them as well as Bubblegum's hands. "Well this sucks. I still have my hair and my skin color. You just have your skin color and.... I guess the ends of your two tails are your usual neon blue."

"Really?" Bubblegum looked behind her. "Wait a minute... I think I know-"

Rainbow dash interrupted her. "Um.... What are those things at the bottom of us that have our faces on them with what appears to be numbers?"

"We're in a video game, Dash."

"A video game?! Which one?"

"Sonic the Hedgehog 2. And those faces with the numbers next to them are our lives. We both appear to have 3. I am only assuming that, if we die 3 times, we die in real life. Unless one of us makes it to the end of the level without dying then we both might live. But, I'm not sure."

She gulped. "If we die in here, we die in reality?!"

Bubblegum nodded. "It depends on our characters, sort of. You're the famous Sonic the Hedgehog. The fastest one. And I'm Tails the Fox. The one that can basically hold you and fly. It's kind of fun if you can't die."

"I'm a hedgehog with hands? How hilarious. And you are a fox with two tails?"

Bubblegum nodded once more. Now, here is how you don't die. #1, don't get hit by those flying robots over there. Try jumping on top of them to defeat them. #2, don't fall when you're hanging over a cliff. If you're stuck, all you have to do is super speed up the wall next to you and you should be fine. Are you ready?"

Ready as I'll ever be, Princess Tails!"

Lol I got bored! XD Anyways, what do you think will happen? Find out in the next chapter! :heart:

Chapter Forty-three, Speed of Sound

Bubblegum and Rainbow raced through the levels in the blink of an eye! With Rainbow's speed and Bubblegum's intelligence of the game, nothing could stop them! Until they made it to the last level.

"Phew!" Rainbow sighed, crossing her arms. "That took forever!"

"Only because time slowed down for you. It was actually only an hour or two."

"How do you know time was slowed down for me?"

She rolled her eyes. "First of all, I have a friend who can run faster than Sonic and you and he told me how it feels. Second of all, I also experienced it."

"Ha! Like right! Let's just keep going!"

They go into position as Bubblegum lifted her up and started to fly across half of the whole thing before landing and knocking out some baddies. Then, they checked everywhere for any secret entrances or lifes anywhere until they beat the level.... Or so they thought...

"Yes! Now we can go home!"

"Not quite.... Look out!" Bubblegum yelled as a silver ball came spinning at them.

"What is that?!"

Bubblegum cleared her throat as they kept dodging the attacks.

"Mecha Sonic is perhaps the Sonic robot which bears most resemblance to Sonic apart from being a little taller and has a silver-colored scheme. Since there are no rings, just one slip-up is deadly. Mecha Sonic has many different attacks that are mostly similar to Sonic's, such as the spin-dash, turbo-dash, and spin-jump. However, the most challenging move of Mecha Sonic's is his jump-and-spike-launch-attack. The best way of avoiding this is to kill the robot before he gets a chance to use it; spin dashing Mecha Sonic the moment his jet-boots touch the decking. We can hit him 4 times in one bout if one times it right. Then accrue another 4 hits (total of 8) to the robot's head to defeat him. Once Mecha Sonic is vanquished, we enter a quick chase scene with Dr. Robotnik, before we jump into the final boss robot. "

"Mecha Sonic?"

"Yes. But we must be quick about our moves or we will die immediately!"

They dodge again before Mecha Sonic does his spin-dash.

"What do we have to do next?!"

"Like I said, we kill it by jumping on him three times! Now go!"

They both take turns jumping on his head over and over again until he finally died. They both took a deep breath.

"That.... was.... hard...." Rainbow said, leaning on her knees as she tried to catch a breath. "What now?"

"Next we have to do an Eggman, or, as some like to call him, Dr. Robotnik, chase."

"Is that what we did before with that fat guy?"

"Yes. But it's even more harder. Robotnik's attacks include launching his arms like rockets, and trying to stomp on Sonic. Also, don't get caught behind the robot - Dr. Robotnik launches a pair of grenades which almost guarantee death. Just be patient, and attack the head or underside only when the mecha bows its feet after landing from one of its jet-pack flights. As we attack the robot, be careful not to accidentally hit the spikes on his arms or it'll be instant death. The robot, despite the bombs, is actually vulnerable at the back. The best strategy for dealing with this boss is to move right to the edge of the platform when Robotnik jumps into the walker's cockpit. When the robot is in position, we can get two free hits this way as it moves, aim for its backside and be careful of the jetpack. This tactic makes this boss much easier. The boss is defeated after twelve hits. Once the mech is taken down, the Death Egg begins to explode and Sonic manages to survive by hurling himself out of an airlock into space. Looking like the end for us as we descend through the stratosphere of his world. I can come and catch you on the tornado, thus ending the game, but if we have all seven chaos emeralds, we instead can fly safely beside the Tornado in our Super States. Think you're ready?"

Rainbow stood aside, astonished, shocked, and afraid but nods. "Yeah."

"Good. Don't die." She encouraged her as Eggman shows up in the Death Egg. "Here it comes."

Eggman fired his arm rockets as they both dodged them and went for his head. Rainbow went a little to the right instead of the middle and almost got hit by one of the arm spikes before ricocheting her body backwards by pressing her foot against the suits armor.

"I can't do it! It's too strong!" She breathed heavily before Bubblegum putting her arm on her shoulder for a split second.

"Yes you can! We can! If we defeat him, we'll be free of this treacherous dimension! Now try attacking the head or back! I will lift you over him!" They both dodged once again. "Are you in?"

She nodded as they did exactly as planned. Bubblegum lifting her over Eggman before almost getting hit. She distracted him while Rainbow Dash kept hitting the back of the machine, causing it to start exploding.

"Look out, Dash!"

Right before the machine exploded, Beastman unzipped the fabric of the universe to pick the up and save them before unzipping it, bringing them back to the pony dimension.

"Thank my mother your'e alright!" He said, looking at the two of them standing on two legs before returning to four.

"We're alive!" Rainbow Dash sighed, almost hyperventilating.

"Told you we would make it and what just happened?" She said, sounding smart. "You didn't need to come save us, Beastman. We had it covered."

"I didn't want you to get hurt. But, I should've known you'd be strong after the training we did."

After Bubblegum's and Beastman's reunion, they both kissed as Rainbow Dash stood there, shocked.

"You two are dating?"

"Yeah... What's wrong with us dating?" Bubblegum asked, holding his hoof.

"Well, I've never seen a princess who has had a special somepony before."

Bubblegum looked at her as she rolled her eyes, obviously annoyed as she walked off with Beastman. "Bye, Dash."

Rainbow tilted her head as she said to herself: "Did I say something wrong?"

Chapter Forty-four, Shadows Among Us

Bubblegum couldn't help but wonder what happened yesterday? Who controlled her and why. She pondered on this for a while.

It wouldn't be Shadow since he's now reformed... She thought. Who, or maybe what, could it be?

Beastman sat beside her, licking his ice-cream. He looked over at her, knowing something was not right.

"What's wrong, Bubbles?"

"Well," She started, "I don't know what happened yesterday when me and Rainbow Dash fell into that portal thing."

He sat there, knowing it was bothering her. "Whoever, or whatever, it was, I won't let it hurt you like that ever again."

She came up with another question. "How long were we away?"

"How long?"

"Yeah."

"Well, I had just gotten done with watching the Wonderbolts show when I came down and saw a portal opened. I looked down inside and saw you guys. When did you fall into the portal?"

Bubblegum was amazed. How come it felt like hours of them being in there if it was only a couple seconds? "Right after the show. But we were in there for hours!"

"I don't know about that... It may have been hours for you, but, it was only a few seconds here. Sometimes, in different dimensions, there are different rules and times."

"So, it's like Narnia?"

"Exactly."

She now knew how come it felt like hours, but, her first question was still not answered; who controlled her?

"Thanks anyways, Beasty. I'm... Gonna go to my castle."

"Ok."
~~~~~~~
"WHY THE HELL DID YOU DO THAT?!" Shadow yelled, mysteriously. "We made a deal, remember?!"

"I understand that, sir, but I was only following orders-"

"OLD orders! If you keep this up, you'll get fired!"

"Yes sir." The strange figure said. "But-"

"No 'buts'. Now leave!"

As the figure he was talking to left, he face-hoofed himself. "Stupid peasants can't seem to listen, can they?"
~~~~~
After a little walk, Bubblegum unlocked her door to see John cleaning the floors.

"Hello, your majesty." He said, smiling.

"What's going on?"

"I thought, since you've had a long day, it would be nice to clean up your castle."

Bubblegum knew something was up. For the past month he had been living with her, he never, and I mean never, did anything this nice.

"What's going on?" She asked again, hoping for an honest answer.

"I already told you."

"I know something's up. You've never wanted to clean!"

"Alright fine!" He admitted. "I invited some of your friends over to help you feel better."

"Friends?"

"Yes. Don't you have friends?"

"Well, besides Twilight and the others, no."

"Oh. I thought you knew Snowgirl, Cupid, Physco, and Pink Vanilla?"

"I have only talked to them once or twice and who's Pink Vanilla?"

"Pink Vanilla? Used to be in the army...? Ring a bell?"

She shook her head.

"I invited them all to a party at your castle. Just a small one." He grinned.

Bubblegum was infuriated that he did this without her permission. "Are.... You.... Kidding me?! I cannot believe you just invited ponies over for a 'party' without my permission! Don't you remember this is my household?!" Suddenly, she grew thin, sharp fangs. "THIS IS MY HOUSE! THAT DOESN'T MEAN YOU GET TO JUST INVITE PONIES, EVEN SOME I DO NOT EVEN KNOW, OVER! CALL THEM ALL BACK AND TELL THEM THE PARTY IS CANCELED!"

"But, ma'am-"

"NOW!" She breathed heavily as the fangs turned back into normal teeth. "Now..."

As John left the room, Bubblegum began picking up the party supplies scattered all over the place s she sighed. "Maybe I shouldn't've yelled at him. But, he need to say sorry first. I would't've yelled at him if he never did that."

John came back into the room. "It's done. I've called them all and told them the partys' canceled."

"Good." Bubblegum said with a small feeling of guilt. "Is there just something with you guys?"

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"You just do things without permission?" She sighed as she ran outside.

Bubblegum
Half past twelve
Watchin' the late show
In my flat all alone
How I hate to spend the evening on my own

Autumn winds blowin' outside the window
As I look around the room
And it makes me so depressed to see the gloom

Is there a man out there?
Someone to hear my prayer?

Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me
Chase the shadows away
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness
To the break of the day

Movie stars
On end of the rainbow
With a fortune to win
It's so different from the world I'm living in

Tired of TV
I open the window
And I gaze into the night
But there's nothing there to see no one in sight

There's not a soul out there
No one to hear my prayer

Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me
Chase the shadows away
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness
To the break of the day

Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight

There's not a soul out there
No one to hear my prayer

Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me
Chase the shadows away
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness
To the break of the day

Bubblegum stopped when she figured out that it was, in fact, after 12 in the morning. She decided to just go ahead and go to her bed.

Chapter Forty-five, Musical

Beastman knocked on the door, hoping to see Bubblegum.

"Bubbles?" He yelled. "You there?"

"Just getting ready!" She yelled. "For the day..."

"Mmmk!"

Bubblegum walked outside of her castle. "What did you need again?"

"Oh I just wanted to say hi to my beautiful Bubbles." He kissed her cheek.

Fire Hoof looked at them from a distance with binoculars, jealous.

"Grr! Me? Jealous? I can't believe she would say that!" He pounded his hoof against the ground. "I'll just give her these flowers! That way, she'll have to take me back!"

Fire Hoof walks up towards the castle with the flowers as he gave them to her.

"For a princess." He then bowed.

"What do you want?" She said, rolling her eyes.

"I wanted to prove my love to-...."

"Listen, I am not in the mood today so just leave."

"Not until-"

"Until what?"

"You say one thing you like about me."

This will definitely make her fall in love with me He thought.

"I don't like you at all! Geez it's like I have to work in order for you to stay away from me!"

Bubblegum walked off as music started playing. "Nobody works hard around here accept for me!" She leaned her hoof on a rail as it broke off.

Bubblegum
I work all night, I work all day, to pay the bills I have to pay
Ain't it sad
And still there never seems to be a single penny left for me
"Don't sit there!" She motioned to Beastman, trying to sit on a chair.
That's too bad
"It's broken."
In my dreams I have a plan
If I got me a wealthy man
I wouldn't have to work at all, I'd fool around and have a ball

Money, money, money
Must be funny
In the rich man's world
Money, money, money
Always sunny
In the rich man's world
Aha aha
All the things I could do
If I had a little money
It's a rich man's world
It's a rich man's world
She ran over to a bridge only to find Cupid and a choir

Cupid
A man like that is hard to find

Bubblegum
but I can't get him off my mind

Choir
Ain't it sad

Bubblegum
And if he happens to be free I bet he wouldn't fancy me

Choir
That's too bad

Bubblegum
So I must leave, I'll have to go
To Las Vegas or Monaco
And win a fortune in a game, my life will never be the same

Money, money, money
Must be funny
In the rich man's world
Money, money, money
Always sunny
In the rich man's world
Aha aha
All the things I could do
If I had a little money
It's a rich man's world

Everyone
Money, money, money
Must be funny
In the rich man's world
Money, money, money
Always sunny
In the rich man's world
Aha aha
All the things I could do
If I had a little money
It's a rich man's world
It's a rich man's world

As the song ends, Bubblegum looks over at the two stallions, taking deep breaths.

"Wow." Fire Hoof states. "I have to give it to ya, that was impressive."

"But I seriously do have to work harder than anyone around here! Trying to keep you from leaching off of me, keeping up with all of the events going on, trying to get a job!" She sighs. "It's hard work!"

"I guess, if you really want me to leave you alone, I will. I hope we can still be friends though."

"I think I need a little time, Fire."

As he leaves, Bubblegum grabs Beastman's hoof and walks to Twilight's house, ready to try the new spell she's been talking about.
~~~~
"I'm so glad you both could make it!" She said, walking in her library for more books.

"Glad we could make it!" Beastman said, reading a script for something. Oh this should get interesting... he thought.

"Anyways, the spell is called 'Fusionist Crossterious'." She read the first page. "It says that it's meant to merge two ponies together to make one pony controlled by it's own mind and body."

"Is there a counter spell to reverse the effects?" Bubblegum asks, curiously.

"Yes. At least, that's what it says here. So who should we merge first? I've always wanted to see what you and Beastman look like together."

She pricked her ears up right. "Um, you have?"

"Yeah. Ever since you guys got together."

"I don't know about this..."

"Oh come on! It's not that bad!"

Twilight
If you change your mind, I'm the first in line
Honey I'm still free
Take a chance on me
If you need me, let me know, gonna be around
If you've got no place to go, if you're feeling down
If you're all alone when the pretty birds have flown
Honey I'm still free
Take a chance on me
Gonna do my very best and it ain't no lie
If you put me to the test, if you let me try

Twilight
Take a chance on me

Beastman
(That's all I ask of you honey)

Twilight
Take a chance on me

Beastman
We can go dancing,

Bubblegum
we can go walking,

Beastman
as long as we're together

Beastman
Listen to some music,

Bubblegum
maybe just talking,

Beastman
get to know you better

Beastman
'Cause you know I've got
So much that I wanna do, when I dream I'm alone with you
It's magic
You want me to leave it there, afraid of a love affair
But I think you know
That I can't let go

Twilight
Take a chance on me

Bubblegum
(Come on, give me a break will you?)

Twilight
Take a chance on me

Beastman
Oh you can take your time baby,

Bubblegum
I'm in no hurry,

Beastman
know I'm gonna get you

Beastman
You don't wanna hurt me,

Bubblegum
baby don't worry, I ain't gonna let you
Let me tell you now
My love is strong enough to last when things are rough
It's magic
You say that I waste my time but I can't get you off my mind
No I can't let go
'Cause I love you so

Beastman
Gonna do my very best, baby can't you see
Gotta put me to the test, take a chance on me

Twilight
(Take a chance, take a chance, take a chance on me)

Beastman
Ba ba ba ba baa, ba ba ba ba baa
Honey I'm still free
Take a chance on me
Gonna do my very best, baby can't you see
Gotta put me to the test, take a chance on me

Twilight
(Take a chance, take a chance, take a chance on me)

Beastman
Ba ba ba ba baa, ba ba ba ba baa ba-ba
Honey I'm still free
Take a chance on me
Gonna do my very best, baby can't you see
Gotta put me to the test, take a chance on me

"Fine!" Bubblegum shouted. "I'll do it! But only because this is really annoying!"

Beastman and Twilight rejoiced.

"Great! I'll get to work!"

Her horn started to glow as Beastman and Bubblegum began to merge together, their bodies slowly combining as they successfully fused, growing in height as well as growing a tad in width.

Twilight looked at them with a huge grin. "The spell worked! I did it!"

"What happened?" Their fusion said in an Australian accent.

Chapter Forty-six, Diary of a Mad, Pink Mare

"What happened?" Their fusion said in an Australian voice.

"This is revolutionary!" Twillight said with a scroll in her hoof, writing down what was happening.

"Where am I?" She said, looking around.

"You're in my castle. I just used a spell that fused you and Beastman together to make..... What's a good name for you?"

"Pink Flareona."

"Oh my gosh! You could be a whole new being with different memories! I've got to get all of this!" She still wrote down the events.

Pink Flareona looked around the library, seeing books piled high on shelves. This place seemed unfamiliar, but she continued to be calm.

"So, Pink Flareona, what would you call yourself?" Twilight asked, eyes widened with happiness.

"Um, I think I'm part dragon..... I'm not sure."

"Alrighty!"

After about 3 hours of Twilight investigating "it", she decided to unfuse them.

"How do you both feel?"

"I feel fine." Bubblegum said. "How about you, Beastman?"

Beastman looked at his legs, they were tired and shaking. "I don't know what we did as a fusion, but my legs are exhausted!"

Twilight wrote some more down. "Great! I will send this to Celestia for my studies!"

"Wait, this was for Celestia?" She asked her.

"Yep!"

"How come you didn't just invite her here?"

"Because it would've taken too long and the ruler of all Equestria needs rest. It's late at night."

"How late?" Beastman asked.

"9:00 PM."

Bubblegum's eye twitched before she forced a smile. "You know what? Not just the ruler of Equestria needs sleep.... Everypony does!"

"Geez, Bubbles, it's ok-"

"No it's not! She thinks only important people need sleep, don't you!" She turned back around to Twilight, frightening her.

Twilight looked into Bubblegum's eyes, these were no eyes of an equine being, nothing of the sorts. They had frustration and evil inside them, something she had never seen before in Bubblegum.

She sighed. "I need my rest, too."

She turned around and left the castle, leaving both Beastman and Twilight clueless.

"What happened to her to make her act like that?" Twilight asked.

"Well, she only started to act like that after she and Rainbow Dash came out of the portal she made."

"Portal?!" She yelled. "Not even Celestia can make portals!"

"Wait a minute, then that means-"

They both gasped. "Shadow!"
~~~
"Why does everyone think that only they're special?" Bubblegum murmered, angrily. "I can't believe she thinks only important people need sleep! And, besides, Luna's awake by now."

Her hooves started to turn black, causing them to look a bit like ink.

"It's just not fair!" she sighed. "All the princesses did something special to become a princess in the first place! And what did I do? Nothing! Have I changed the history books? NO!"

Her eyes flashed white as she made an evil smile.

"I know just what I am going to do...."

"Bubbles!" Beastman yelled from behind along with Twilight.

"What do you want? You've done nothing but keep me from my task!"

"This isn't you! It's one of Shadow's old minions!"

"It is me! This is who I am now! And YOU can't do anything to keep me from it!"

"Bubblegum." He put his hoof on her face and stroked her coat. "I know you. You wouldn't want to do this. I love-"

"No you don't!" She smacked his hoof off of her. "You don't love me!" Her eyes filled with tears as the black started to spread. "Nobody has ever loved me.... Not even my own foster mother." The tears trickled down her face as she turned her head.

"Foster mother?" Twilight said, surprised.

"My life was great as a 4 year old; going on trips with mom, seeing the view. Until one day when we came home, Sombra was attacking our village."

"Wait, you mean King Sombra?!" Twilight asked, surprised.

She nodded. "He came from a portal-... THE portal. He wanted to kill me. But instead, took something, or someone, very close to me." She sighed. "I lived in an orphanage for a month before the king and queen of Cloudia adopted me and made me their daughter. Of course, I never really WAS a princess considering I wasn't their actual child. They mostly made me cover my face to not show anybody and abused me. Though they surprisingly told me they loved me." She wiped the tears from her face. "Just... Like... You!"

The rest of the black spread throughout her body as her eyes and hair turned, and glowed, white. She began to float.

"Nobody has loved me! I don't even know what love feels like because of the people and ponies I trusted!" She spoke in an echoing voice. "Now, Equestria will not have to trust ANYONE!"

Chapter Forty-seven, Musical pt 2

"Bubblegum!" Beastman yelled. "You don't have to do this! We all do care for you! Stop listening to the lies!"

"They aren't lies!" She shouted. "They're the truth!"

"Maybe the truth about your faster mom," Fire Hoof stated, recently coming to see what was wrong, "but not with us!"

"You!" Bubblegum picked him up with her magic. "You betrayed me! You thought I was selfish !"

"Yeah.... Thought!" He sighed. "You have a right to be mad at me. I treated you like trash, thought I was better and more handsome then any stallion you could go out with. That's why I'm sorry. But, now, you have a stallion who truly cares about you and loves you. So, I respect him. I hope you can forgive me."

Bubblegum's eyes turned back to normal as they teared up. She sets Fire Hoof down to the ground.

Bubblegum
I don't want to talk
About the things we've gone through
Though it's hurting me
Now it's history
I've played all my cards
And that's what you've done too
Nothing more to say
No more ace to play

The winner takes it all
The loser standing small
Beside the victory
That's her destiny

I was in your arms
Thinking I belonged there
I figured it made sense
Building me a fence
Building me a home
Thinking I'd be strong there
But I was a fool
Playing by the rules

The gods may throw the dice
Their minds as cold as ice
And someone way down here
Loses someone dear
The winner takes it all
The loser has to fall
It's simple and it's plain
Why should I complain

Fire Hoof
But tell me does he kiss
Like I used to kiss you?
Does it feel the same
When he calls your name?
Somewhere deep inside
You must know I miss you
But what can I say
Rules must be obeyed

Bubblegum
The judges will decide
The likes of me abide
Spectators of the show
Always staying low
The game is on again
A lover or a friend
A big thing or a small
The winner takes it all

Fire Hoof & Beastman
I don't want to talk
If it makes you feel sad
And I understand
You've come to shake my hand

Bubblegum
I apologize
If it makes you feel bad
Seeing me so tense
No self-confidence
But you see
The winner takes it all
The winner takes it all

So the winner takes it all
And the the loser has to fall
Throw the dice, cold as ice
Way down here, someone dear
Takes it all, has to fall
It seems plain to me

As the song ends, she looks down at the two before shaking her head. They see her eyes switch from normal to white over and over again.

Just kill them, Bubblegum! Her mind told her. Then you won't be hurting anymore!

"NO!" She yelled loudly.

Yes! Don't you want to feel safe? Free of all those emotions?

"Killing them won't remove my memories!"

So it's your memories you're worried about? I can fix that!

Suddenly, she started grunting, shaking her head back and forth to get this voice out of her head before collapsing. The shadow figure jumped out of her horn as she returned to normal. Fire Hoof happened to see this as he runs over to it and tackles it.

"Why did you do that to Bubblegum?!"

"Because I can!" It said, smiling. "I can do anything I want to!"

Fire Hoof look over to his left to see a pink pony cutting an apple as he grabbed her knife and stabbed the shadow, causing him to disappear out of thin air. The pink pony looked at him with a frown.

"I was going to use that!" She said, blowing her violet mane to the side.

"Sorry." He looked at her and squinted. "Who are you?"

"I'm Berryshine and that was my knife my grandmother gave me."

"Again, sorry." He hands her the knife.

"Are you okay, Bubblegum?" Beastman said, shaking Bubblegum body to make sure she was alive.

She woke up as she rubs her head. She looks at Beastman and tilts her head. "What happened? And who are you?"

Beastman almost cracked up. "Really? I'm your boyfriend. You know, Beastman Sunra Firefox?"

"'Sun'-rah?!" She gasped, frightened. "Where am I?"

"Don't play that game Bubblegum."

"Who's Bubblegum? That seems like a pretty stupid name."

Beastman gulps as he runs over to Fire Hoof. "Um, we have a huge problem."
~~~~
After he explained everything to him, Fire Hoof ran over to Bubblegum as he helps her up.

"Do you remember me?"

She shakes her head.

"Well, this calls for some desperate measures." He grabs his boombox as music starts playing.

Fire Hoof
I wasn't jealous before we met
Now every colt that I see is a potential threat
And I'm possessive, it isn't nice
You've heard me saying that smoking was my only vice
But now it isn't true
Now everything is new
And all I've learned has overturned
I beg of you

Beastman
Don't go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me

It was like shooting a sitting duck
A little small talk, a smile and baby I was stuck
I still don't know what you've done with me
A grown-up stallion should never fall so easily
I feel a kind of fear
When I don't have you near
Unsatisfied, I skip my pride
I beg you dear

Don't go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me
Don't go sharing your devotion
Lay all your love on me

Fire Hoof
I've had a few little love affairs

Bubblegum
(What?!)

Fire Hoof
They didn't last very long and they've been pretty scarce
I used to think that was sensible

Bubblegum
(Well, it's not)

Fire Hoof
It makes the truth even more incomprehensible
'Cause everything is new
And everything is you
And all I've learned has overturned
What can I do

Beastman
Don't go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me
Don't go sharing your devotion
Lay all your love on me

"So, which one of you is my boyfriend again?"

Surprise! Another chapter! What do you think? Stay tuned for the next chapter! :heart:

Chapter Forty-eight, "Amnesia"

Fire Hoof grinned, thinking he could win Bubblegum back while Beastman was terrified of loosing his girlfriend.

"I a-" Beastman began to say before he interrupted her.

"Actually, I am." He smiled.

Bubblegum scratched her head. "I don't know. I'd say the red one was. He seems more scared."

"Well, he's not! I am!"

She rolled her eyes as she walked up to Beastman and hugged him.

"I would never date somebody like you.... I think."

Just then, she looked at Fire Hoof's whole body, not knowing what he was.

"What in the world are you?! Where am I?!" She backed away from them. "Who am I?!"

"Calm down! For the love of-" Fire Hoof sighed. "I don't feel like explaining it to you so just calm down with all the questions. Anyways, Beastman, take her to Twilight to get her fixed. Meanwhile, I need to go to the spa. I have a massive headache."
~~~~
"You say what now?!" Twilight exclaimed, breathing in a paper bag. "You're telling me..... The princess of..... Reciprocity..... has amnesia?!"

"Maybe?..." Beastman said with a half smile.

"HOW IN EQUESTRIA DID THIS HAPPEN?!"

Beastman looked at her with glaze. "Really? You missed everything?"

"Well, not everything. After seeing Bubblegum transform into that.... thing, I went inside."

"So, you just left us to deal with her?"

"Well, when you put it that way..... yeah....."

They both looked at Bubblegum in the corner of the room.

"I have no idea if I'll be able to fix her, Beastman. All I know to do is hit her on the head again. Maybe that will make her remember."

Beastman grabbed a beaker and smashed it onto Bubblegum's head, knocking her out.

"Great." He said, wiping the glass off of his hooves. "Now, she has amnesia and she's knocked out!"

Just then, she rose up from the floor with the strangest look on her face.

"Beastman?" She said faintly. "Why the heck did you hit me on the head with a beaker?"

"Bubblegum!" They both shouted as they rejoiced.

"What?"

"You had amnesia."

"What?" She grinned. "No I didn't. I was pranking you guys."

"You.... Did.... What?!" Beastman yelled, obviously angry.

"I pranked you."

His face was as red as lava before he sighed and smiled.

"Well, forgive and forget, right?" He smiled.

"Hehe.... Right. I'm gonna go. I need to get to Luna's."

"Why?" Twilight asked.

"I need to ask her something important. I'm gonna go in the morning."

"O...k? Good luck, I guess."

Sorry I had to end this chapter short. I've got other things to do today and I don't really know what to write right now. I hope you enjoyed it anyways. Bye.

Why does Bubblegum need to talk to Luna? ~~Hopefully~~ Find out in the next chapter! :heart:

Chapter Forty-nine, I Wanna Be Different

Bubblegum got up in the morning, feeling refreshed and ready to go to Luna's. She sighed with a half smile, realizing what she was going to ask her and how she would react to it.

She had a dream last night.....

Bubblegum looked around her, seeing she was in some sort of bar with people dressed like they were in the nineteen forty's.

Wait, she thought, nineteen forty's?

She looked at herself, realizing she was in the same kind of outfit. She had also realized that these were people, not ponies, in this bar. It had a piano in the corner of the room along with a stage in case anybody wanted to sing with a microphone.

She suddenly looked to see everyone was in a sad or depressed mood. It made her wanna cry. Nobody should feel this sad. She got up from the table she was sitting at to sit with these people and talk with them, trying to make them feel better. She got to the last table to see a man with brown, sort of spiky hair, combed over to the left side. The man turned his head around.... It was Barry Allen.

"Bubblegum?" He said, a bit frightened by her sudden appearance. "How are you even here?"

"Barry?" She said, shaking her head in confusion. "How are you here?"

"This is my dream." They both said in unison.

Both Barry and Bubblegum froze for second before she started to speak.

"I heard that, um, you were put in the speedforce recently." Cisco telepathically told me. He's so cute. His chin, his smile, his hair, his personality.... Everything. "Cisco told me. Why are you in there anyways?"

"I had to save Central City from the speedforce-"

"And decided to go with the speedforce to stop it?"

"Hold on... You didn't let me finish." He said, tightening his tie. "The speedforce needs one speedster to keep in itself to help keep balance with the universe. And, since we just defeated Savitar, nobody was in the speedforce at the time so I took his place."

"I think the speedforce might be a little bit.... Cookoo." She said, smiling a bit. "I'm sorry about what happened."

"About what?"

"About everything I've done that messed up your universe. If I never-"

"'Came to Equestria'." He chuckled. "I don't know how many times I've heard you say that."

"Well, it's true! I wouldn't be stuck here right now, I wouldn't have messed up your dimesnion, and I wouldn't have been a pony."

Barry sighed before he frowned again. "I guess things just don't go out the way you want them to, huh? I mean, if you would have never went to Equestria in the first place, then you would've missed out on all of the adventures, wouldn't have been able to defeat Shadow, or made tons of new friends. I would keep them while they last because you should be glad that you're here right now."

She frowned, nodding slowly. She knew it was true, she just didn't like to admit it. Though she has humiliated herself in front of those ponies anyways, she has had some pretty good times with them, too.

The dream ended there. This was what made Bubblegum happy to be there. But, if the others were right about the cave choosing her, why? Why did it choose her? Wouldn't she have been back to her home by now? Is there some task she needs to do in order to leave? These questions overflowed her mind as she began to fly towards Celestia's and Luna's castle
~~~~
Upon making it there, Bubblegum began to look for Luna around somewhere. She had been looking there for about 45 minutes with still no sign of her. She began to wonder if she was even there. But, then she realized, Luna would be asleep at this time.

Darn'it! She thought, angrily. I should've came here earlier!

Bubblegum decided to stay there for the rest of the day until she knew Luna was awake

Part 1! Oh boy! Wait till the next chapter for something better. :heart:

Chapter Fifty, "Back" to the Human Realm

It was about 9:00 PM when Luna finally woke up. she walked through the hallway to see Bubblegum sitting there, messing with the carpet on the floor.

"Princess Bubblegum?" She asked her. "What are you doing here this late at night?"

She got up and wiped the dust off of herself.

She cleared her throat. "Remember you said you had a portal back to the human realm?"

Luna nodded.

"Can I use it?"

She sat there for a second before shaking her head. "Use it?"

"Yes."

Luna couldn't believe what she was hearing. Back to the human realm? She thought in anger.

"What about all the times we had together?!" She spoke in her Canterlot voice. "All of the friendships you've made?! I guess they never mattered to you, did they?!"

"What?" She said, confused. "They do matter to me! I never said they didn't! I miss my family, my other friends! That doesn't mean that I never loved the memories that I have made with my friends here in Equestria!"

Luna stopped for a second, before looking away and sighing.

What's up with her? Bubblegum thought. She knows I love the memories I've made here...

"I just-" She began. "I've never had a student before... a friend that I consider family.... That technically is my family."

"Wait, what?" She held her hoof up to her mouth, trying not to crack up. "But I'm not related to you."

Luna nodded. "You are. I never told you but.... Princess Bubblegum, I'm your mother."

"But that's impossible!" She shouted. "I was born and raised in the human realm! I was never a pony!"

"Yes you were." She sat down in a big, red chair in the hallway. "A long time ago, in the land of Japon (Basically, Japan but in Equestria), where me and Celestia lived, was Emperor Yutsuko. She hated every alicorn and killed them if she ever found one. But, that's later on. I had fallen in love with a stallion named Purple Cloud or Yakumo for short. He was part werewolf. Celestia forbid us to be together since he was a completely different species or 'being' as she worded it. When I birthed you eleven months later, Emperor Yutsuko had just started war and so happens that Yakumo was in the army. Later that month, he.... he died. We were fighting alicorns on the other side anyways so the emperor despised them. She said 'If you don't get out of here with that baby, we will kill her!'. I didn't want to lose you so I ran away with you as far as I could with Celestia until they found us. 'Deal is off.' she told me. She took you from me and erased your memories with me. You were only 3 months old so you didn't have that many memories. But, after that, she put you in the womb of a human woman where I would never see you again."

Bubblegum sat there for a second. It made sense, yet it didn't.

"Wait, so, I'm half human, pony, werewolf, and Japanese?"

"Japonese you mean." She sighed. "I would've told you sooner but I didn't want you to freak out."

"I understand.... Sort of."

"If you still wish to go back to the human realm-"

"No. I don't. My 'family' treated me like crap. I want to stay here with mom."

She hugged Luna as she hugged her back. She had never felt such love from her daughter in a long time. It felt nice to her.

But then, she woke up. Bubblegum checked her clock. "7:46." She said. "It was all a dream?"

She looked around her room in her castle before turning over to see John was at the foot of her bed.

"AH!" She yelled. "John! What the heck?!"

He yawned as he looked up at her. "You know those feelings you get when you want to sleep anywhere else besides your own bed?"

"I have a couch..."

"I know that. It was a wooden couch that was too hard for my scales taste." He licked his lips with his long, forked tongue. "Do you have any gems?"

She shook her head. "You'll have to go with Rarity when she goes gem hunting."

"Ok. See ya later."
~~~~
A few hours later, Bubblegum made a shopping list to go to a few stores and get ingredients for a cake. The first store she went to was the Marketplace uptown to get her first ingredient, eggs and carrots for a carrot cake.

"Ok let's see... eggs and carrots. Should be easy."

Before she knew it, she bumped head first into a pony with a scroll in front of her face, too.

"Ow!" The mysterious pony said.

"Oh my gosh! Are you ok?!" Bubblegum asked as she helped up.

"Yeah I'm fine. I-..." The pony then noticed that Bubblegum had wings and a horn. Her eyes widened in surprise. "You're-you're a-"

She looked at her back. "I don't see anything wrong."

"You're an alicorn!"

"Yeah...? Oh! How rude of me! I'm Bubblegum."

The pony had a purple and light purple mane with a couple teal stripes through it, along with her tail, too. She had blue eyes and a light pink coat. Her cutie mark looked like two swirls with a purple star at the bottom.

The pony looked at her with shock. "I-I'm Starlight Glimmer."

"Wait... Aren't you Twilight's student?"

"You know Twilight? Princess Twilight Sparkle?"

She nodded. "Me and her have been friends for a year and a half. I haven't seen her in a couple weeks though. I hope she's okay..."

"Actually, she just got back from a vacation with her family."

"Really? That's cool!"

Me and Luna oughta do that some time... She thought.

"So, are you a princess?" Starlight asked her with a grin on her face.

"Yep. Luna was the one who crowned me."

"This is incredible!" She said, excitedly. "How did you become an alicorn?! Did you learn what friendship was like Twilight?"

"Well, um, I was sort of...." She honestly didn't know how she became an alicorn. Was her dream real? Or was it fake? She had to test this. "I'll get back to you on that."

Just as Bubblegum started to fly away, Starlight picked herself up with her magic and followed her to ask her more questions.

"Is something wrong, Princess Bubblegum?"

"Um, no. I just... Need to go."
~~~~
Starlight walked into Twilight's castle to see her finishing up her duties.

"Um, your friend is strange."

Twilight turned to her, confused. "Who?"

"This new alicorn princess Bubblegum. She won't tell me how she got to become an alicorn..."

"Wait, you met her?" She bit her lip.

"Yeah. She said something about Luna crowning her a princess for no reason. All the other princesses were crowned princesses for a reason. She's suspicious..."

"Maybe she just didn't like you crowding her with questions."

Starlight Glimmer looked in Twilight's library to find a book about alicorns and princesses. She found one written by a stallion named Chrome Masquerade (You're Welcome). The book was enchanted. It would change each time a new princess in Equestria would rule. She looked inside to the very last page for the newer princesses. Unfortunately, since Bubblegum was "born" in the human realm, she wasn't in the book. This caused Starlight to be paranoid.

Author's Note

(You're welcome, Chrome :raritywink: ) What do you think will happen next? Find out in the next chapter! :heart:

I wanted to do something special for the fiftieth chapter! i hope you like it!

Chapter Fifty-one, Starlight's "Apprentice"

Upon making it to Canterlot, Bubblegum knew Luna was up all day and night instead of just night like her dream had told her. She wanted to know if her dream was real since Luna could give ponies dreams or help them in their dreams. She landed on the castle grounds, walking inside. The guards, standing outside guarding the place as usual, recognized her and let her in. Luna, who was making breakfast for herself, realized Bubblegum was there, standing behind her.

"Bubblegum!" She smiled. "How are you this fine evening?"

"You control ponies dreams, right?"

She nods.

"Did you have anything to do with my dream about you being my actual mother?"

Luna was a bit confused but knew where she was going.

"Well," she started, "dreams happen for many reasons. It may be because I feel like a mother to you or you miss your mom."

Even though her theory made sense, Bubblegum wasn't buying it. She decided to ask the one pony that she hadn't talked to in a really long time....
~~~~
Celestia was baking a cake with Beastman when they heard her walk into the kitchen.

"Beastman?" Bubblegum asked. "Why are you baking with the princess?"

"Just some mother and son bonding."

"Oh ok-.... Wait, Celestia's your mom?!"

"Yeah. It's a bit confusing.... You'll have to hear the story. It was quite the experience! Ever since I came to Equestria when I died, Celestia took me in as her son and raised me like her son."

"Wait, you were 27 when you died... How old are you now?"

He thought for a second. "Well, 33..."

She was shocked for a second but snapped out of it when she remembered why she came in there.

"Hey, Beastman, honey, could you give me and Celestia a momment?"

"Of course."

As he left the room and shut the door, Bubblegum walked a bit closer to Celestia.

"So, um, did you once live in a place called Japon?"

She nodded. "But how did you know that?"

"I'll ask the questions for right now, ok? Not meaning to be rude or anything..."

"I understand."

"Was... Was I born there?"

"Nonsense! You were born a human." She sort of nervously chuckled while she said that."

"Celestia please tell me the truth!"

She sighed. "You were. Did Luna tell you the story?"

"Well, sort of. It was in a dream I had. A vision."

"I see. Most visions and/or dreams happen for reasons-"

"Yeah Luna told me that part." She sighed. "For my whole life, I've been wondering 'What am I meant to do? What am I meant to say?'... But this makes sense!" She then remembered the part where Luna said something about the emperor not liking alicorns. "Where is Japon located?"

"It's an area outside of Equestria... So it shouldn'tbe on the map.... But, my mother owned a map outside of Equestria with different sections about Japon, Klugetown, and other places." Celestia pulls out a map from underneath the oven. "This should help you find the city... But be careful. Who knows what's out there and what could harm you. I would suggest having somepony you trust help you with this important task."

Bubblegum had an idea of who to bring...
~~~~
"Wait... YOU'RE THE DAUGHTER OF PRINCESS LUNA?! RULER OF THE NIGHT?!" Twilight yelled, shocked. "B-but you look nothing like her!"

Bubblegum rolled her eyes. "That's not the point. I need your help on this mission. So will you help or not?"

Twilight nodded. "If this is that important to you, I will do it."

Starlight overheard the conversation from the other room. "So she's the daughter of Luna?... Is that how she became an alicorn?"

Just then, she had a brilliant idea. "I'll ask Sunburst to come and help me with spying on them."

She started to write a scroll, asking Spike to send it to him once she was done.
~~~~
The two, technically 4, ponies made it to the Hypogryph city (I forgot the name of it).

"On the map, it says that Japon is farther south than this..." Twilight said as they continued to fly across the ocean. "I don't know what possessed Celestia and Luna to go this far just to get to Canterlot."

"I know! This is futher away than I've ever gone in.... well, never! My wings are already tired!"

"But we must keep going if you want to meet this Emperor Yutsuko. And, why did you choose me to come with you if she despises alicorns?"

"Well, you were my first real friend, besides Luna, here in Equestria. Sure, DJ-PON 3 or Vinyl Scratch offered me a home and Rarity offered to keep my secret, but, that's basically what nice people do. You're the one who actually accepted me for who I am." They made it to an island in between Japon and Hypogryph city to rest on for the night. "We're probably going to have to disguise ourselves as unicorns in order not to get killed or harmed."

"Agreed. But how will we even get past the guards?"

"We do it the nice way." Bubblegum said. "Ask them politely if we can see the emperor."

"But," Twilight started. "What if they say 'no'?"

"Then we teleport in. Easy as pie."

"Ooo!" She smiled. "I wonder if they have a library!"

Bubblegum giggled as they set up a tent and rested for the night. Soon enough, Starlight and Sunburst found their location.

"I'm still not sure about this, Starlight." Sunburst said, stroking his beard. "I feel uncomfortable spying on Princess Twilight and Luna's daughter."

"We just need to make sure they're ok. Like good friends do."

"But wouldn't a 'good friend' trust their other friend to go places?"

"Well, normally, yes. But, that 'daughter' of Luna's is suspicious. I don't trust her."

Sunburst started laughing. "What would be funny is if, in the end, she turned out to be your sister."

"Pfft! Please!"

But then she sort of saw the similarities. Both have a pink coat, both have blue, or in Starlight's case, some blue, in their mane, both, she thinks, know powerful spells, and both are friends of Twilight.

"Well, maybe... But that doesn't mean we have the same mother." She said.

They both made up tents on the other side of the island to rest as well.
~~~~
Twilight woke up in the morning to hear Bubblegum screaming to the top of her lungs. She rushes out of bed and checkes on her.

"Are you ok, Bubblegum?"

She looked at Twilight and what seemed to be her hair got longer and more silky than before.

"What's wrong exactly?"

"M-my mane! It's longer!"

"O...k? What does that mean?"

"Exactly! I don't know! It's odd. Why would it all of a sudden get longer during the night?"

"I don't know. But let's pack up and start heading on our way."
~~~~
After getting ready, they set off, Starlight and Sunburst slowly behind.

Author's Note

What do you think the emperor will say to Bubblegum and Twilight? Yes or no? Find out in the next chapter! :heart:

Thanks so much for the people who have supported me, helped me with my grammar, and kept this story going and on it's feet! It's helped me a lot! Here's a shourtout to the person who has done all of those through each chapter: Chrome Masquerade, the guy who's dealt with me the whole way XD. Thanks.

Chapter Fifty-Two, Father?...

"Are we there yet?" Bubblegum asked, her wings tired from flying for two hours straight.

"Actually, yes. According to the map, Japon should be right around the corner."

As they turned the corner, they saw a vil.lage with lanterns and a ton of Tatamis here and there. The ponies had curved horns and thin, football-shaped eyes

"Oh my goodness! We're visiting the place where Princess Celestia and Princess Luna lived in their past!"

Twilight took a couple pictures as they both hid behind a bush near the outskirts of the village.

"Shh!" Bubblegum told her at the click of the camera. "We've got to be quiet! Remember: we're from a different location! We need a disguise in order to get past the ponies."

Just then, Twilght remembered the spell she used to manipulate the characteristics of the breezies to become them.

"Observe..." She said.

She spotted a pony watering their flowers as she knocked her out and brought her over to the bush to use the spell. Her horn glowed as she used her magic, their eyes grew thinner as their horns curved. They dressed up in the clothing that Japonese ponies would wear, covering their wings.

"This is... Weird." She said, feeling her horn.

"Now, it's time to see the empress."

As they began to move forward, Starlight and Sunburst showed up in the outskirts, both exhausted from using their horns to float over there.

"Let's... Hurry... And... make it... quick..." Starlight said, taking deep breaths.

"We need a disguise for this place."

"Yeah... No.... Dip..."

"No time to be sarcastic, Starlight. You wanted me to help you so we are gonna do this right."

They both used their magic to turn them Japonese as they secretly followed Twilight and Bubblegum.
~~~~
Making it to the バブルガム (or Baburugamu) castle doors, her and Twilight walked across the bridge to the entrance where the guards were at.

They put their spears in front of the door, blocking them from passing.

"Naze anata wa koko ni iru nodesu ka? (Why are you here?)"

"Do you speak Japonese?" Bubblegum whispered to Twilight as she nodded.

"Watashitachiha, kōtei o mi ni kite imasu. (We've come to see the emperor.)"

"Kekkō. (Very well.)"

They both nodded and let them through, bowing in a form that Japonese call, "Welcome". They entered the main hall where the emperors chair is at.

"Watashitachiha, kōtei o mi ni kite iru Yutsuko. (We have come to see Emperor Yutsuko.)" Twilight said as she bowed.

"I can speak Ponish." The emperor said, stepping down from the throne. "And Emperor Yutsuko died years and years ago." As he took his emperor hood off. "I'm Emperor Purple Cloud. But Japonese ponies call me-"

Bubblegum gasped. "Yakomo!"

He smiled. "That is my name. But, how did you know that? Actually, I've never seen you here before. Are you foreigners pretending to be Japonese?"

"Abort! Abort!" Twilight whispered.

She took her hood off and revealed her face after taking off the disguise. "Father?...."

"Huh?"

He looked at her, squinting. His eyes filled with delight. "Baburugamu?"

"What?" She said, confused.

"Baburugamu. Japonese for Bubblegum. I named this palace after you because I thought you were gone forever."

"I thought you died when I was born. Luna said you were in the army."

"I was. But Ōkami Senshi (Wolf Warrior) brought me back to life."

Twilight tapped her chin, she thought she had heard that name before.

"But now," he started, "we can make up for lost time! Let's Celebrate!"

He oppened his window to the castle and asked for everyone's attention.

"I have found my daughter after 19 years!"

Everyone cheered. Starlight and Sunburst wondered what all the fuss was about as they shoved through the crowd, seeing Twilight, Bubblegum, and the emperor.

"Oh no." She said. "Slowly step back and run."

Twilight looks down to see all of the ponies and saw the two of them running away.

"Wait a minute... That's Starlight and Sunburst!"

She leaped out of the window, flies down, and tackles them.

"What are you two doing here?"

Sunburst pointed at Starlight as she sighed.

"Care to explain?"

"I followed you because I didn't trust that 'princess' Bubblegum friend and now I know why. She's daughter to a.... What is that? A vampire?"

"A: He's a werewolf-"

"Exactly! Proves my point!"

"And B: She's gone her whole life not knowing who she truly is. So, when she came to Equestria, her whole life was explained. How would you feel if you had to go years and years without knowing who your true parents are?"

Starlight sighed. "Well, I guess I wouldn't like it... But, I guess I just got jealous that you two have been friends longer than you have with me..."

"Starlight," She helps her up. "Friendship isn't about getting jealous of who your friend is friends with. It's about accepting their friend and learning to be friends yourself."

Everypony continued to cheer as Twilight looked up to see Bubblegum hugging Yakomo.

"Just think about how the other pony feels and put your hooves in their horseshoes."

She flies back up to the castle and continues to look at Starlight.
~~~~
Everyone was putting up balloons, lanterns, and lights to celebrate the emperor's reunion with his daughter. There was even a chocolate fountain and ice sculpture.

"It's really nice to have you back, Emperess Baburugamu." He said, hugging her once more. "Now you can stay with me forever!"

Bubblegum paused. "But, I can't..."

"Why not?"

"Well, Luna's back in Equestria and so are my friends and my boyfriend..."

"Oh..." He said, lowering his head. "I see..."

"But I'll visit you often. How about every two Sundays?"

"Alright!" He said. "Wait, did you say Princess Luna was back home?"

She nodded.

"Tell her I said 'hi', okay?"

"Yep."

The party began, everyone having a blast, dancing, eating the cupcakes... Everything was perfectly ok.

Even if I found my father... Bubblegum thought, I know I'll still have all of my friends; Twilight, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Rarity, Applejack, Fire Hoof, Beastman, Barry Allen, Cisco Ramon, Caitline Snow, Joe West, Iris West, and, especially, my mother, Princess Luna.

Chapter Fifty-three, Anthropology (A Lyra-based chapter)

(In advance to this chapter, I give credit to the people who made the song, Anthropology, by Timscreations. Here is the link to a video that has the lyrics on screen. If you cannot read them, here they are right down below.)

Human beings fascinate me, being just the way they are!
Tell me, little pony, can you push a cart or drive a car?
Lyre is my instrument, but humans strum their sweet guitar
It's a mystery, anthropology!

Fingers, toes and tiny noses, brownish hair and tannish skin
Would it be too much to ask to see the world they're living in?
Everybody tells me that it's old and fake mythology
It's a mystery, anthropology!

Aren't you bored of brushing your coat, styling your mane with your hooves?
I don't mean to butt in or gloat, but ancient history proves...

Humans don't have wings or magic. They don't need it; they don't care!
All they've got's imagination, new inventions everywhere!
Babies, children, teens and elders, all alike have clothes to wear
It's so real to me, anthropology!

Albert Einstein, Cleopatra, William Shakespeare, Elton John
Michael Phelps, Barack Obama... who's to say that they're all gone?
Maybe humans like us too and dress like us at Comic-Con?
It's so real to me, anthropology!

Yeah, they've had a couple of fights
Nobody's perfect you see
Still I say I'm born with the rights
To study whatever I please!

I don't need to horse around now, I can stand on two legs!
I would trade my magic powers for a pair of new legs!
Grab your camera, come on, zoom in!
'Cause your favorite mare's a human
ME!

That is who I'll be!
Anthropology! shh

Here is the chapter!

Bubblegum, Twilight, Starlight, and Sunburst all flew (some with their magic) back to Equestria, Bubblegum holding a letter from Yokamo saying:

Dear Luna,

I've missed you all these years. You aren't gonna believe what happened! First I got brought back to life then I became emporer for over 19 years ever since you left... I am still sorry about what happened and that she drove you out of the land because of your species. But, of course, I told her if you went, I went. She wasn't too happy about that... I will give you more information the next time you come. I'm so happy I got to see Bubblegum all grown up! She is turning into the perfect young mare. A princess to be exact! Anyways, I hope you have a fine rest-of-the-day.

Love,

Yokamo

She gripped onto it tightly, knowing how much it would mean to Luna and how devestated Luna would be if she dropped it.

That is, until Starlight was getting bored.

"Hey, Sunburst!" She whispered. "Think I should scare Bubblegum?"

He pushed his glasses up a bit. "I don't know... It doesn't seem like a bright idea."

"I know but it'll give us something to laugh about."

"Okay. Fine. Get her even more upset at you even with her being part were-wolf..." He murmered under his breath, watching her sneak up on her.

"BOO!" She yells at the top of her lungs, causing Bubblegum to freak out and drop the letter.

"No!"

She flies as quickly as she can to get it but it was too late, it had already fell in the water.

"No no no no no no!" She tries diving in the water to get it, going farther and farther down.

"Starlight!" Twilight exclaimed, flying over to her. "What the heck posessed you to want to do that?!"

"I got bored! I didn't know she was carrying a note!"

When they saw no sign of Bubblegum coming up out of the water they started to panic. That is, until she panicked and leaped out of the water.

"GAH!" She flew back up towards them, without the note.

"What's wrong?!" Twilight asked, helping her breathe and get the water out of her lungs.

"Fishes.... Ponies... Pearls.... HELP!" She gasped and gasped but all that was coming out was purety nonsense.

"Woah woah woah! Slow down! Now, what did you say?"

"Mermaids-.... Ponymaids? Merponies?...."

"Huh?"

"There are weird fish down there! I am afraid one of them will bite me!"

"WAIT!" Twilight butted in. "DID YOU JUST SAY MERPONIES?!"

"Yes!"

"THOSE CREATURES ARE VERY RARE! In fact, there is only one page about them in the history of pony kind!"

"Woah!"

Just then, one of them jumped out of the water like a dolphine and reached up to Bubblegum.

"Hey!...." She had to keep jumping up and down in order to tell her what she needed to. "Is.... This.... your.... paper?"

"Yes... I thought it was destroyed by water."

I know.... A trick that.... Will help it.... here you.... Go!" She throws the paper up to her as she catches it.

"Thanks?"

"You are.... Welcome! I have to.... Get back..... before my..... mother catches..... me!"

"Ok. Have a good one!"

"Alright!"

And, just like that, she landed back in the water. She had a pale yellow coat with blue hair and fins. Almost looked like fluttershy with a blue mane.

"Ok......" Twilight puts a mark on the map where they were at. "Now, I can come her when I want to know their culture!"

"Alrighty then.... We need to get back to Equestria to do the things we needed to do before we left."

"And what is that?" Starlight asked.

"Well, more like what I need to do; ask forgiveness."

"Who?" Starlight asked another question. "Have you hurt somepony or something?"

"No.... Well, sort of. But I am sure they already forgiven me, I want to make sure."
~~~~
Upon making it back to Equestria, the four of them went their seperate ways and departed for the night. Twilight going back to her cadtle, Starlight going back to her cave home with Pinkie's sister, Maud Pie, Sunburst heading back to the Crystal Empire, and Bubblegum heading back to her castle which is in a completely different area. So, you could imagine how far she had to either walk or fly. Though she also may have teleported, she still made it back to her home.

In the morning, however, it was different for Bubblegum. She was in such a rush, she skipped the main steps in how she woke up in the morning. Usually, she would get up, take a shower, brush her mane and teeth, put on perfume, eat breakfast, and, sometimes, get dressed. She didn't need to do the last one that much since ponies were usually naked. But, today, she got up, took a shower, brushed her mane and teeth, and got dressed in a white, long dress that seemed to glisten in the sunlight. She walked to Ponyville that day, feeling refreshed until she heard a growling sound. It sounded like it came from her but she dismissed it. By the time she got to Ponyville, she heard the growling sound once more, this time, giving her a stomach ache. She grabbed her stomach as it continued to hurt. She had realized by now that she had forgotten to eat breakfast. Will she still have time to visit them and ask their forgiveness on an empty stomach? She had no idea.

She had gotten to their door and attempted to knock though it hurt her to even lift her arm up though she managed to ring the doorbell. She answered and gasped at the sight of Bubblegum, happy to see her again.

"Hey!" She exclaimed. "It's B-Triple!"

"'B-Triple'?"

"Your code name. Like mine!"

She sighed with a smiled. "Nice to see you again, Dj-Pon3."

"Nice to see you too."

"I wanted to say 'sorry'-"

"For what?"

"For turning you into an alicorn that one time and messing uo your house."

"Dude, that was the greatest thing that ever happened in my life! You should be glad you came here from the human world!"

"HUMAN WORLD?!" Somebody said. It came from inside her house.

"Uh, who was that?..."

"Oh. When you left, I had been trying to find a new roommate. So..."

The pony came dashing out of the house and inspected Bubblegum with a huge smile on her face.

"You're from the human world?! What's it like? Do you walk on two legs or one? Do you have hands and feet or hooves? Can you use magic?"

She sighed. "Bubblegum meet Lyra Heartstrings, a fan of humans and, apparently, has studied them her whole life."

Lyra took a closer look at Bubblegum. "You're the new alicorn everyone is talking about?! I mean, I knew there was a new alicorn but I thought they were only talking about Flurry Heart. This is amazing!" She gasped. "How did you become an alicorn if you're from the human realm?!"

Bubblegum didn't feel like explaining her whole life story since you would have to hear it in order to even know where she's from and what is happening.

"Uh... Well, actually, I was born in Equestria though it's not really Equestria since it's out of the area and this evil emperess decided to take me from Luna and put me in the womb of a human."

She breathed in. "That's soooooo cool! Where did she get that kind of magic?!"

"I honestly don't know..."

It got to the point where Vinyl was starting to get irritated with Lyra's questions. "Okay how about you go inside and maybe Bubblegum will hangout with you tomorrow, k?"

She gasped. "REALLY?! WOULD YOU DO THAT?!"

"I guess." Bubblegum replied.

"Great!" Vinyl started. "Now you will want as much sleep as possible."

"But it's only 10:00 AM-"

"Which is why you'll want sleep." She said, struggling to put Lyra inside as she slammed the door behind her. "Dang-it! That is all she ever talks about is freaking humans!" She groaned. "It's so hard having a conversation with her when that's all she talks about!"

"I'm sorry, Dj... I wish I could help."

"The only reason I told her to go with you is that I am exhausted! Sorry about doing that without permission."

"It's okay. I just wanted to set things right with you because I have a pretty long list of ponies I need to ask their forgiveness."

"Ok. Well, wouldn't want to keep you from that. Have a nice day, B-Triple"

As Vinyl walks inside, Bubblegum begins to check her list, seeing that Physco was next. She opened a portal to his dimension and walks to his castle. She knocks on the demon shaped knocker as he comes to the door.

"Oh." He said, looking away. "It's you."

"Look, I'm sorry for killing you-"

He almost laughed. "I forgive you for that. I just don't like the fact you're dating my brother." He grabs onto her and pulls his hoof back, acting like he's gonna punch her. "If you even try to get 'chummy' with him, I swear-"

"Woah woah woah! Slow down! Geez!" She thought of something. "You know, you have a wife. Was Beastman supportive when you two were dating."

He stopped for a momment. "Uh... Yeah."

"Then how come you don't do the same?"

"Because he's my little brother!" He exclaimed, furious. "I need to look out for him!"

"Do you honestly think I wouldn't care for him, too?!" She broke, pushing him back. "Do you honestly think I wouldn't love him?! If you do, you're pathetic!"

She heard it herself as he started to laughing.

"Love him? You even said yourself that you don't know how to love! You didn't have anyone to love you so how do you know how to love?"

Bubblegum
Some say I have no direction
That I'm a lightspeed distraction
But that's a kneejerk reaction
Still this is the final frontier
Everything is so clear
To my destiny I steer
This life in Equestria is all I've ever known
Horns and wings and infinite ponies is my only home

But the moment I fly through air
Thousands of clouds are blowing through my hair
And I know in my heart
It's been worth it all of the while

And as my Beastie is right by my side
I know both of us have nothing to hide
This life I've chose isn't easy
It sure is one heck of a ride

At the moment I fly through the air
Thousands of clouds are blowing through my hair
And I know deep down in my heart
I have nothing to fear

And as the solar wind blows through my mane
Knowing I have so much more to say
A wandering spirit who's tearing it's way
Through the cold atmosphere

I fly like a pony
Soar like a pony
Crash like a pony
I'm just a pony.
~~~~

"Shut the **** up!" He yells. "This is exactly why I don't trust you with Beastman!"

"Because I sing?"

"No! Because you care too much! I don't want somebody loving my little brother more than I do because he may not like me anymore!"

"Huh?" She said, confused. "Just because we're dating, doesn't mean he won't like you anymore."

"Well, you're all he ever talks about! 'Bubbles is so kind!' Or 'Bubbles is my sugar pumpkin lemon pie!'!"

"What do you suppose he say about me?! That I'm 'emotionally broken' or that I 'suck at everything and can't do anything right'?! What does Snowdark say to you?! Does she say you suck?!"

"No..."

"EXACTLY! THIS IS WHAT I MEAN! Geez! You know what, I tried to ask your forgiveness but you obviously don't want an apology!"

She storms off, leaving trails of hoof print behind as she opens a portal far away from the castle. Physco takes a look at these and notices something off about them. Instead of regular hoof prints, these looked like paws. What was she hiding?....

What happened while Bubblegum was gone? What will happen when Bubblegum and Lyra hand-out? Find out in the next chapter! :heart:

Chapter Fifty-four, Day with a Princess

After Bubblegum checking everyone off of her list, she realized it was already late. She went to bed, dreaming of what tomorrow would be.
~~~~
She woke up, stretching her arms and legs as John walks in and gives her some hot chocolate.

"Why are you giving me hot chocolate?" She said, sipping it.

"It's almost Hearthswarming Eve."

"What the heck is Hearthswarming?"

He gasps. "You've never heard of Hearthswarming?!"

"No..."

"It's a season in winter about giving and receiving presents, baking cakes and cookies, and hanging up stockings."

"So, it's basically Christmas?"

"What's Christmas?"

She rolls her eyes, hopping out of bed and getting dressed for the day. "You ponies drive me nuts!" She giggled, heading out the door and realizing it's snowing. "Huh. It was warm yesterday..."

She walks past ponies talking to each other in a scared manner saying, "I'm telling you, it destroyed my lemon stand!" and stuff like that. It was odd to her because she had never heard them say anything of the sorts. She just continued walking until reaching Vinyl's house, knocking and asking if Lyra was there. Which she was. She comes outside with a scarf and jacket on, smiling.

"I bet you would wear gloves around this time."

"Well, yeah."

"So what should we do first?"

"Well, usually around Christmas time, I would go caroling..."

"Oooo! What songs would you sing? Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way. Oh what fun it is to ride, laughing all the way."

"That isn't how it goes. It's Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way. Oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh."

"Why would horses pull a sleigh? That's slavery!"

"Why would we laugh all the way?"

"Good point..."

They walked around the town for a bit, being very quiet until Lyra spoke up.

"So, could you take me to the human realm for a visit sometime soon?"

"Um, actually, no. I can't go back myself. And, if I went back, I wouldn't be able to come back until another... Who knows how long."

"Oh.... Sorry."

"It's ok."

Lyra smirked. "So, mind if I experiment on you?"

"Wait, what?"

As soon as that was said, she knocked her out and dragged her to her 'lair' as she liked to call it.
~~~~
Twilight continued to knock on Bubblegum's door but she wasn't answering.

"Odd. It's not like her to not answer her door..."

She started to get worried and asked around to see if they knew where she was at.
~~~~
Bubblegum woke up and realized she couldn't move as she was strapped to a table.

"Oh so you're awake now." Lyra said, hooking her up to something. "I thought you'd be asleep the whole time."

"What's happening? What are you doing?!"

"I'm just going to test you're powers, that's all."

"With a giant machine?!"

"This is just to shock you if the answer is positive. I'm hoping for it to be positive."

"You're gonna shock me if it's positive?... What are you even looking for?"

"Well, I am going to concoct a serum that will open a portal so I can go to the human realm whenever I want."

"You're gonna drain the power out of me?"

"No. I am gonna drain your magic."

"That could kill me! Why not just let me try to make a portal for you?"

"Because I know that you're not that powerful. And, besides, I am putting some of my magic in there, too."

"Let's combine out magic and not half kill me!"

"How about no?"

She turned on the machine as Bubblegum sat there with closed eyes. When she felt nothing happening, she opened her eyes, only to see that the machine wasn't stealing her magic, but giving her a type of magic that she'd never seen before.

"Stupid machine!" Lyra said, slapping it. "It's not working!"

Bubblegum looked at herself, seeing that she was growing this type of fur. She grew sharp teeth and claws, now able to break out of the straps. She howled as if she was a dog or.... a wolf.

"Now, what were you saying about stealing my magic?!"

She grabbed Lyra by her underarms and growled in her face. Twilight entered and saw this, not knowing it was Bubblegum. But she teleported her and this nasty, werewolf-like creature to a cage, leaving Lyra there by herself.

"Twilight?" She said, looking around. "What are you doing?"

"Who are you?!"

"It's Bubblegum. Princess Bubblegum. Don't you know? I still look like me!"

"I'm sorry but you can't leave that cage until you're back to normal."

"What, you're just gonna leave me in here?"

Twilight started walking away, closing the door behind her.

"Twilight! Twilight! Get back here! I.... thought we were friends.... Can I not be trusted?...."

"Bubblegum? Bubblegum? Bubblegum!" Someone yelled in her ears.

"Gah!" She looked over to see Lyra. Some how they were back where they were right before she knocked her out. "Stay away from me!"

"What do you mean?" She asked, confused. "I was talking about my old home and how I was a scientist and you dozed off. It looked strange."

"I... Dozed off? No you knocked me out and tried to experiment on me!"

"No I didn't!"

"What time is it? It was 2:00 PM when I was in Twilight's cage."

"It's still 12:08 PM... What the heck happened?"

"I don't know... It's weird... I remember this stuff that never came to be..."

"Vision? Or warning?"

"I don't know... But it was very, very strange..."

What do you think happened to Bubblegum? Was it a dream or a warning? Find out next time! :heart:

Chapter Fifty-five, In A Million

Struggling to sleep that night, Bubblegum sat up in her bed; thinking about what that was about. Did it mean she was the only one who could stop her foe from the very beginning or to stay away from ponies who seem nice but really aren't? She didn't know. She just knew she needed some sleep. Looking up atop her glass ceiling dome, she saw the moon shining bright, glistening with joy and comfort to help her to sleep along with the stars glowing in the midnight sky. This helped her to rest.
~~~~
In the morning, though it was very cold outside, she woke up with sweat in her coat. She walked to the bathroom and looked in the mirror, seeing her fur had grew long and fluffy. She felt like a rug.

"Great," she exclaimed. "I forgot ponies have to groom themselves. It's like being a dog without paws."

She grabbed the brush to comb her incredibly long mane and tail before beginning to trim her luscious coat.

She walked down the steps, seeing John was gone but put a plate of hash browns and mashed potatoes along with a note beside it saying: "Gone out for a bit. I will see you tonight." She was worried since he never goes out but happy that he's getting a life. She also noticed a notebook laying on the counter with a list of princess duties she was to do that day.

1. Cut the red ribbon at the new hospital

2. Sign autographs at town square

3. Appear at the elementary school to talk about how they need to take on responsibilities

4. Help Applejack at the farm

5. Visit Twilight for information

What information? She pondered, looking up from the notes.

She headed for the door with a jacket and hat on, shutting it on her way out. First thing was the red ribbon. She walked west and headed towards Ponyville with scissors in her saddlebag.
~~~~
Arriving at the scene, she looks to see the red ribbon lying on the ground and Nurse Redheart standing by it. She trots towards her with the scissors.

"Hello, Redheart." She said, smiling. "I've come with the scissors."

She takes them out as Redheart laughs.

"What's so funny?"

"Those small scissors aren't what we need!" She then opened the box to reveal scissors that were 3 times the size of Bubblegum's normal scissors. "These are what we need!"

She blushed, embarrassed. "Sorry... I'm not used to this whole 'duties' thing."

"Everypony makes mistakes." She smiled. "I am going to get this ribbon tied."

As Redheart walks away, she looks over to see Beastman in the crowd, talking to some ponies about the new hospital. She walks over there to say 'hi'.

"Hey, babe!" She kisses him on the cheek. "How are you doing?"

"I'm doing absolutely wonderful." He smiled. "So, are you alright? I heard about what happened and I'm worried."

"Yeah I'm fine."

"Why do you think it happened?" he frowned. "Is this because you used to date Cisco?"

"Date?" She shook her head. "What?"

"You heard me."

"I never dated him. We had feelings for each other, yes, but we never dated."

"Did you guys ever kiss, per se?"

"No!"

He got a horrible feeling. "do you still have feelings for him?"

"NO! NOW WOULD YOU STOP HARASSING ME WITH QUESTIONS?!" She whispered, angrily.

"I will never be sure of this relationship if I know for a fact you don't have feelings for him."

"You should know by how I treat you that I only love you! But obviously that isn't enough compassion for you."

"Hey! I just wanted to know!"

he walks away from her, leaving her madder than a hornet. She walks back over to the ribbon, waiting about 30 minutes after a speech to cut it.

~~~~

"He seriously did that to you?!" Rarity says, shocked. "I cannot believe him!"

"That, my friends, is what you call a party pooper." Pinkie says, annoyed. "I swear, if I ever see his face again, he will feel my wrath-"

Rainbow Dash hold her mouth. "The only wrath you're gonna feel is my hoof!"

Everyone stopped and looked over at them. "Haha! We planned that all morning!" They both said, cracking up.

"Alright..." Twilight said.

"So, John said you had some sort of 'information' you needed to tell me?"

"Oh yes!" She pulls out some paper. "So, I figured out your visions were actually different types of futures that could've happened. Like the one you saw was what Lyra was going to do, but didn't because... well, I don't know."

"So, that was just one of the many things that could've happened?"

She nodded. "But it's odd because the only way that you could've gotten visions of the future was if one of the princesses did something or you came into contact with something that could've caused such occurances." She gasped. "Did you kiss Cisco?!"

Bubblegum blushed. "Once! But it was a long time ago!" She sighed. "Sure, I lied to Beastman about what I did but he wouldn't stop bugging me and, if I told him, we would've most probably broke up."

"You shouldn't lie to your partners." Applejack says, concerned.

"I know but-.... I just didn't want another break up."

"Tell him the truth. Besides, the past is in the past. So, he can forget about it... Right?"

"Maybe..." She sighed. "I just wish he'd understand where I'm coming from."

"We all do, darling. We all do."

Chapter Fifty-Six, V̶̳͛̒̏̍͊̅̃̈́́i̴̧̧͖̜̞̩͇̮͍̊̎̅̍́̉̂͐ͅs̴̟͙͆͂̏͗i̸̡̛̭͓̺̺͎̩͍̼̺̋̒o̷̡̮̍͠ņ̷̦̙͕̾̄͝ş̸̢͂̋͐͒͋̑̈́͘

Bubblegum was now at her castle. She walks around the halls, frustrated about everything happening. To calm herself down, she just sighed and started mumbling things to herself.

She groans. "Why can't my life just be normal for once? Why can't I just be a normal princess who does normal princess-y things, or something?"

Upon walking throughout her halls, she stumbles upon a darker hallway, filled with statues of ponies that looked like they were in Ancient Greek. She stops in her tracks to examine this in particular statue. Unlike the others, this one was holding a glass of wine. The other statues didn't hold anything at all.

Curious now, she pulls the stone wine to the left, revealing there to be a door hidden behind the statue as it moves correspondingly. There were stairs leading down into a lit room. She wanders down these staircases for about two minutes due to it being a very long hall. Bubblegum makes it to this secret room only to be in complete awe.

She looks to see a series of miniature water falls coming from tiny statues of earth ponies on the walls. They led to a semi-giant hot tub, or at least she thought it was, in the back of this room. It was lit by a string of lights surrounding a chandelier on the ceiling. Numerous candles were around this bath, lit with a small flame as they glistened in pairs of two or three. Then, to her utter most shock (sort of), the water in the tub was pink with darker pink rose petals floating about. The water, as she could tell, was naturally pink, not anything that proved to show artificial colors.

As she took a few more steps closer, a shadowed figure appears in front of her. The only thing about this one was that it didn't stay like a shadow forever. Instead, it formed into a pony. This pony had a radiant purple coat with a mane full of pastel colors, almost all of the colors of the rainbow. Her eyes were a light blue mixed with a darker blue, like the sky. She was a pegasus and had rain drops as her cutie mark.

The pegasus smiled at the sight of Bubblegum, taking a step towards her, inching closer and closer in a nonchalant way. Of course, Bubblegum was a little scared and took a few steps backward.

"There's no need to be frightened, your highness," this mysterious pony says, "I am only here to escort you."

"Escort me?" She says, suspicious about this character, "Where?"

"Somewhere not-so-far away. You'll see when we get there."

"Oh no no no no no. I don't go anywhere with creepy smoke-people I don't know."

The pony stops. "I am Radiant Cumulus. But, since that's too many syllables, my friends call me Rain Cloud."

Bubblegum stands still. "Well, that's a dramatic change." She shakes her head. "But how did you get in here? What is this place?"

Rain Cloud holds her hoof up in means of saying 'be quiet'. "I understand this is all confusing but, if you come with me, you'll know why I'm here."

Having a little suspicion, she takes the pony's hoof. They immediately show up at a garden. This garden had many flowers and plants with a beautiful fountain in the center. The only thing odd about it was that she had not recognized the area. All she saw was grassy hills for miles on end.

There was also a single building with white pillars in the front. It looked to be from the Victorian era. Rain Cloud walked along the flowery fields towards the building with Bubblegum slowly behind.

"We have understood that you have been having visions recently, yes?"

Bubblegum was confused. "Uh, yes? But, why is this important?"

Cloud turned to her, not stopping her pace. "Was this pony, or creature, by any chance from another dimension or earth?"

She stops. "That's none of your business."

"Actually, it is my business." She points to the building.

Bubblegum hadn't noticed it at first but there was a logo on this building. It had a horn and wings, representing an alicorn, as she had found out from Celestia. However, it wasn't just the alicorn symbol. It also had a dark red ring around it, as well as the symbol itself being red-ish pink.

"Do you know this symbol?"

She shook her head.

"Of course not. Not even the princess would know us." She stops dead in her tracks, turning to Bubblegum. "We are the A.O.O. That stands for Alicorn Okretanje Okultno (Go to google translator and put that under the language Croatian). My job is to make sure all alicorns are equal." She rotates her head to Bubblegum's. "And you, my friend, have not made it any easier on us. Basically, to sum this up, if we don't get rid of the visions soon, then we'll have to get rid of something much greater." She takes out a notebook and pen. "Now, would you rather be a pegasus or a unicorn? Or maybe just get rid of both..."

"Hold on!" She intervenes. " You're going to get rid of my horn or wings? I'm not going to be an alicorn anymore?"

She nods. "That's only if we can get rid off your visions."

"Why are you so upset with my visions? Luna has visions. Why haven't you gotten rid of hers?"

"She serves a purpose as princess of the night and guardian of dreams, she technically needs those. You, on the other hand, don't. Being 'princess of reciprocity' and all, all ponies will do is look up to you as a role model. The only purpose you serve is being an inspiration. Nothing with that has do with visions."

"In order for somebody to look up to me, I'd have to be worthy of it. By doing something great or heroic."

"Or just being there for somebody in emotional damage." She adds. "As part of the A.O.O., it is my job to make sure everypony is perfect." She turns her head away from Bubblegum's. "Unlike you. You're just a disappointment of a princess."

She was infuriated. She had never heard anypony, besides Shadow, back then, who had ever told her that. Sure, she was a disappoitment, but that didn't give this know-it-all a right to say so.

Bubblegum felt her heart darken. Almost literally. Her eyes had whitened, her pupils and irises disappearing behind the light of it all. Her blue mane had become pale and wavy. Her light pink coat had darkened to almost a black. Her teeth had sharpened. And, lastly, she had grown taller in height.

"What gives you the right to say anything like that?!" She lashes. "You don't even know me! You know nothing about me!"

Cloud had saw this and took note. "This is worse than I thought." She wrote it down, not seeming to be phased by this sudden change in appearance. "I see you're power is beyond Celestia's, even, in understanding. Though, I already do." She snickers, this being the second time she smiled. "I noticed that, upon having a somewhat good relationship with a certain Cisco Ramon from the human realm, you have shared saliva with him. Saliva sharing with creatures from other dimensions would cause damage with the DNA of you physical and emotional state."

Bubblegum changed back. "What does that mean?"

"It means," she says, taking out a test tube out with a cotton swab, sticking it in her mouth and collecting some saliva, "this will be easier than I had thought. Upon removing your saliva, I am able to take a test to see if what I had hypothesized is, in fact, correct. Maybe we won't have to get rid of your wings and horn but, something must be done..."

She was scared for the answer. "What is it?..."

She sighs. "I'm afraid you'll have to be trained by one of our most elite warriors to help better control your abilities."

"And who would that be?"

"Well, let's just say she isn't the lovey-dovey type. And she certainly does not like to be called by her birth name: Cupid."

Chapter Fifty-Seven, Cupid

"LISTEN UP, MAGGOT," The commander yells at Bubblegum, "HERE AT THE A.O.O., WE DON'T TAKE BULLSHIT LIKE YOU TOO KINDLY, YA HEAR?!"

Bubblegum, flabbergasted by the sudden yelling, nods, gulping in fear. "So, what was your name again?"

She clears her throat. "My real name is Cupid. You will call me Commander Caldwell. Got it?"

She nods, trying to agree with everything the mare was saying.

"I am here to help you to control you visions and make sure nothing you see alternates the present timeline. Do I make myself clear?"

She nods once more.

"Good. Now, let's get to work."

She takes her to a room full of tiny pieces paper stuck to the walls. She notices that they had been arranged cleverly, so, therefore, she also had to be with her actions.

"What do you notice about this room?"

"I notice that there is paper on the walls."

"Correct. What do you think these papers are for?"

Bubblegum sat there for a moment, trying to think of what to say. She opened her mouth, but nothing came out. She then shut it again.

Caldwell sighs. "These are to help stimulate your visions better, to help you to pick the right piece of paper. Every time you get the paper wrong, you will be tazed. The tazing will also help to control your abilities; make them better."

"How do I know which paper's right?"

"It will have the number "1" written on it." She steps back. "Now, try to use your powers."

Bubblegum steps forward, taking in deep breaths. She closes her eyes, focusing on the single piece of paper that was in front of her. Placing her hoof onto the paper, she begins to see an image in her head. The image started off with flower petals before quickly showing a pony blowing their nose.

She steps back, wiping her eyes and blinking them several times in awe of what she just saw.

"I'm assuming you saw one of the many images we've put into the paper?"

She nods. "Why did you do that?"

"The only way to help you to control whether you can see which paper is the right one, we've put revolting images in each of them. The one you just saw probably wasn't as bad as the rest in there." She smirks.

After several, several tries, she finally stops and stands back, eyes widened in everything she saw and from all of the tazes.

Okay, Bubbles, think. She thinks, rubbing her temples, Instead of focusing on just the cards, try focusing on the entire room. Maybe that'll help.

So, she tries. She places her hoof onto the floor, letting the power flow from her head to her hooves. She closes her eyes once more. She begins to see an image in her mind's eye. It showed a completely empty room - the room she was in - with one pony inside. The pony carried a single piece of paper to the middle part of the left wall beside the door. The number, in fact, had a number on it: the number "1".

Opening her eyes, her horn lights up and removes every single other piece of paper from the left part of the wall and kept the card that read "1" on it on the wall.

Caldwell grins. "You got that quicker than I thought." She get's up from her spot on the floor and stretches. "You're doing good for an alicorn."

"For an alicorn"? She thought, turning around.

Before Bubblegum could start shouting at her, Caldwell, places her hoof against her lips. "You're too touchy," she adds, "if you're really gonna be a princess, you'll need to learn to control your anger."

But that just made her even more upset. Caldwell didn't really care what she had to say though.

"Listen, you can't get offended by every bad thing somepony says about you. Do you think that's what Celestia does? Just because you're someone special, doesn't mean everyone's going to love you. You're always going to have some kind of hater whether it's in Ponyville or somewhere else, got it?"

Bubblegum was astonished by what Caldwell had said, but she was right. She shouldn't get so offended by the smallest of things. She was hoping this was a big step to her becoming more mature as a being.

"Now," she clears her throat, "I'll get you to your sleeping quarters."

Confused, she followed her to this small cabin not far from where they were. Inside, there was a bunk bed, night stand, and bathroom. The bathroom itself was about as big as the bedroom, with two showers and two sinks.

"So, I sleep here until tomorrow?"

Caldwell laughs. "'Until tomorrow'? Oh please! You'll need much more training than just two days!"

Bubblegum turns to her. "I understand, but, you guys literally just abducted me from my home and expect to me train as if this was my own choice."

"IT WAS YOUR CHOICE TO KISS CISCO," She yells right back at her, "AND DON'T YOU EVER RAISE YOUR VOICE AT A COMMANDER!"

"HOW DO I KNOW YOU'RE EVEN A COMMANDER AND NOT SOME KIDNAPPER OR SLAVE OWNER?!" Bubblegum shouts. "YOU HAVEN'T SHOWN ME ANYTHING TO PROVE IT!"

Caldwell backs away. She was frightened by the look she saw in her eyes. They were full of hatred, fear, and anger. Coughing to relieve some of the tension in the air, she looks back at her, now with a straight face. "Very well," she adds, "if you want to know that badly, I'll tell you... In the morning. Now get to bed."

She turns and leaves the cabin, shutting the door behind her. "Oh, Bubblegum," she whispers under her breath, "if only you remembered."

Chapter One, New World

Once upon a time there was an 18 year old girl. Her name was Bubblegum. she was nice to everybody, she loved being outside, and she was always happy. One day, she took a vacation to the beach. She was driving in her car when she found the perfect spot. When she got to the beach, she was getting a tan. Then suddenly, the sun blinded her eyes. She tried opening her eyes and when she did, the sun was out of her eyes.

"That's odd?"

Then, when she looks to the right side of her, there was a ray of sunlight over near a cave.

"Huh. maybe, I should, go over there."

So Bubblegum walks over to the cave, and there is a bright light in the cave. She walks in the cave for about five to ten minutes and finally sees something, a mirror.

"Why is a mirror inside a cave? Well, I don't know why, but its a very pretty mirror."

As Bubblegum walks towards the mirror, she trips on a rock and goes inside the mirror. It was a long fall. As Bubblegum opens her eyes, she sees a lot of purple, pink, and white flashes around her. When she looks at her hand, it starts disappearing.

"AH!"

Then she gets knocked out. When she wakes up, she finds herself in a castle on the floor.

"Where am I? What happened?"

As she struggles to get up, she looks out a window and it appears to be night time.

"That's odd, it was day time when I went in the cave?"

As she turns around, there are two guards standing at the end of the hall way.

"Oh. Hello guards."

says Bubblegum as she takes a closer look at them.

"I must have hit my head really hard because you look like ponies."

The guards move closer to Bubblegum.

"No pony is supposed to be on castle grounds when it's night time." Said the guards, as they put up their spears.

"Am I dreaming or did you just say, No Pony?"

The guards take a closer look at Bubblegum and they see that she is an alicorn! the two guards whisper to each other.

"Another alicorn! but i thought there were only four?!"

the two guards look at Bubblegum.

"We are sorry your highness, but would you like to see Princess Luna?"

Bubblegum was wondering why they called her, "Highness". But she went along with it.

"Well most certainly."

As Bubblegum and the guards go to Luna's bedroom, Bubblegum is still trying to figure out why they called her highness. When they get to the bedroom, one of the guards knocked on Luna's door.

"Princess Luna, you have a visitor."

Princess Luna gets up wondering who would want to see her at this hour. When she opens the door, she sees a young pony.

"Why would you need to wake me up at this Hour?" Says Princess Luna.

"Hey guards, can we have a minute?" Asks Bubblegum.

The guards nod their heads.

"Well i heard the guards whispering in the hallway that I was an alicorn. What is an alicorn? Also, I'm not what you think I am, I'm a human." Said Bubblegum as she tells the story.

after the story, Luna understood where Bubblegum was from, The Human World!

Chapter Three, Octavia's Melody

So Vinyl Scratch and Bubblegum go to Vinyl's house where Octavia is. As Vinyl and Bubblegum step inside Octavia was sweeping. she turns her head and sees Bubblegum and Vinyl Scratch.

"Vinyl, who is this?" says Octavia Politely.

"Oh, this is Bubblegum. Her and I bumped into each other and I guess now we're friends."

"Oh... OK." Says Octavia with a grin on her face. :twilightsheepish:

"So, on our way here, Bubblegum said she doesn't have a place to sleep. So I thought she could stay here with us for a bit until she gets a house." Says Vinyl Scratch as she moves towards Octavia a little bit.

"Are you kidding! We don't have room for another pony! Sorry but you can't stay here." Says Octavia aggressively.

Vinyl and Bubblegum were both shocked with the answer. Bubblegum thinks in her head, "Oh you have to meet Octavia. She's the best."

"Well, I have a better idea! I could build you a room outside in the backyard! It's perfect!" Says Vinyl as she rushes out the door to buy the supplies.

Bubblegum walks out the door to go make more friends while she is waiting on her room. She goes to sugar cube corner to get an ice cream cone when she meets another pony named Pinkie Pie.

"Order for table three!" Yells Pinkie Pie.

"That's me!" Yells Bubblegum as she starts walking up to the counter.

"Hmm... Iv'e never seen you before, or even met you before. YOU MUST BE NEW!" Yells Pinkie Pie as she jumps in the air.

"Yeah, my name Bubblegum. I'm an ali..." Bubblegum says as she shuts her mouth.

"Your a what?" Asks Pinkie Pie.

"I'm a... UNICORN. I'm a unicorn." Says Bubblegum Nervously. "Well I'll just take my ice cream cone and go."

"That'll be two bits please." :pinkiehappy:

"Whats a bit? I mean, Yeah two bits um..." Bubblegum grabs two dollars. "Here."

"Whats this? A useless piece of green paper?" Says Pinkie as she looks down.

Bubblegum teleported out of Sugar Cube Corner as Pinkie Pie was about to ask her for some REAL bits.

"WHERE DID SHE GO?!" Yells Pinkie Pie to the top of her lungs. :pinkiegasp:

Bubblegum went back to Octavia and Vinyl's house. As she stepped in the door, she heard Octavia playing a song. It made her Magic go CRAZY!

"Hey guys I'm ba...." Says vinyl as she drops everything. "Bubblegum what's wrong with horn?!"

As Vinyl Finished saying that, her and Octavia started to float and turned into alicorns! Bubblegum's horn stopped glowing and when it did, Vinyl and Octavia were freaking out wondering how she did that. Octavia knew that only this kind of magic, came from alicorns.

Chapter Twenty-four, The New Princesses

Bubblegum finds herself landing in a cave on the side of the Canterlot mountain. She finds some wood piled up at the side of the cave and a little wool blanket at the other end.

"Does somepon-... I mean does someBODY live here?"

She walks around to find a note next to the blanket. It read:

"The final poll... Celestia has 5 billion ponies, Luna has 3 billion, Cadance with 4 billion, and that leaves Twilight with 6 billion... It seems like there is more ponies who like Twilight than the older princesses. But there is a new one ponies are talking about... A hot pink one with the flow of a very pale neon blue who attended the gala last month. They called her 'highness' a couple weeks ago secretly. Though, she doesn't know about it yet. But it will soon spread by that so called 'Derpy Hooves.'"

"Wait, whoever this is must know about me..."

"HEY! Put that down!" Said a mysterious voice from behind.

Bubblegum dare not to lift a hoof or move an inch.

"Who's th-there?"

"Why are you saying 'who's there?' Your the one in MY cave!"

"S-sorry! I'll leave!"

Soon enough, the mysterious pony got a closer look at her and saw the new princess and recognized her.

"Bubblegum?"

"How do you know me?!"

(The pony did not answer)

"I said... HOW DO YOU KNOW ME!?"

She turned around to see a red figure looking like it had snake eyes the color of jade. It had red wings that looked similar to those of a dragon. The rest of the body was red also. It had grey and lagoon-ish coloerd mane and tail. But it didn't take long for her to realize it was a male.

"Be-Beastman?" She said a little faintly. "I-I thought you had died?"

"Well, I did. Sort of... But, after the car wreck, I found myself... Changing. My hands and feet had changed into hooves as my face became more equine shaped. Then, after that, I grew a tail, got a thing called a 'cutie mark', and my body got more shorter in size. It was really weird... But I'm happy to see you again."

Bubblegum than ran up to him and hugged him; crying on his shoulder.
They had a little momment until they suddenly fell asleep in each others arms. They weren't dating... They were far, far relatives. Sort of like cousins, but more closer than any one could've imagined.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Everyone woke up at the hospital. Cisco reached for his NEW cup of water since the other one fell off the night stand when he reached for it. He took a sip as Barry was already cooking breakfast for the 6 of them since Bubblegum wasn't there. He got it done in about a minute... He had baked 3 plates of scrambled eggs, 2 plates of sausage, and 4 plates of french toast.

"Alright, everyone get up. Breakfasts ready!"

Everyone got up with groans except Caitlin. She needed to get up anyways because of Cisco to see if he was alright. They all went to go and eat breakfast to find that it was now harder to eat with hooves.

"I can't eat with hard, round-ish shaped hooves! It's too hard to pick up a fork or a spoon to even do anything!" Said Harry, as he knocks his plate off onto the floor.

"You know you can eat with your mouth. Like, stick your face into the food, right?" Says Barry, as he runs over to catch the plate before it shattered all over the floor. "You'd better be glad I was here to catch your food, or you would've had to clean it up."

"Look, I'm sorry about that... BUT WHEN I CAN'T EAT WITH HUMAN UTENSILS, IT MAKES IT HARDER!"

"WELL, MAYBE THAT'S BECAUSE WE AREN'T HUMAN RIGHT NOW SO STOP COMPLAINING! Geez..."

Harry looked embarrassed after being yelled at by a 20 (something) year old... Though he had no right to complain.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Bubblegum ended up sleeping on the cold, rock floor while Beastman took the bed. Sure it may seem "unfair" but since Bubblegum had a soft and warm coat now that she was a pony, she needed some coldness (don't know if that's a real word but I'll go with it) every now and then.

(Beastman woke up)

"*yawn* Good morning Bubblegum.... Bubblegum?"

Beastman checked to see if she was still there. She was, but sound asleep.

"Well, it's still a good morning, I guess. I'll fix some breakfast after I go and find the ingrediants."

Beastman flew out of the cave while Bubblegum was snoring (not loud though). But as soon as he left, two strange shadowy figures came creeping upon the cave. Heading directly for Bubblegum!

"Finally, we've found her! Good for the tune, right Tavi?"

"I told you to stop calling me that and yes, we found her. Now shhh! We don't want to wake her up. We need her asleep to take her back to the house!"

"But what happens if she wakes up along the way?"

"Use the sleep spell!"

"Right! Will do..."

"Come on!"

Both of them picked her up as they flew off towards Ponyville.

"Alright Bubblegum, I've got the ingrediants now I can get to cooki-.... WHERE DID SHE GO!?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Bubblegum wakes up in a fimiliar place with CD's, records, and.... A wub machine? Anyways, she finds herself on a couch with two fimiliar faces looking at her.

"She's waking up Tavi!"

Bubblegum opens her eyes to find a brown-ish pony with a dark grey mane looking at her and yelling:

"CHANGE US BACK YOU NIMWIT! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT YOU'VE DONE?!?!?!?"

Then, she remembered something... OMG, THESE WERE THE PONIES THAT FIRST LET HER IN TO LIVE WITH THEM (well, at least one did)!

"DJ-PON 3?!" She yelled in surprise as she get's up from the couch. "I totally forgot about how I turned you into alicorns!"

"Yeah," Says Octavia, as she flies into the air. "and we're wanting to be changed back."

"Oh c'mon Tavi!" DJ said. "Being an alicorn is fun! Maybe just one more week and-" But she was cut off by:

"NO MORE WAITING! I'VE BEEN LIKE THIS FOR TWO MONTHS! NOW CHANGE US BACK YOU TWERP! OR I'LL CALL PRINCESS CELESTIA!"

"FINE! I can try! But my magic was out of control at that momment, so it might be hard to reverse the spell."

Bubblegum's horn glew a dark blue as the magic wrapped around them; making it feel a bit tingly. It lasted for about five minutes until the spell was complete. They were turned back to normal. Octavia was an earth pony while DJ was a unicorn.

"Now, you can leave." Octavia said, opening the door.

"OCTAVIA!" Interrupted DJ-Pon 3. "Don't you think she deserves to stay after changing us back?"

"She's the one that changed us in the first place! So no! I don't think she deserves to stay!"

"WELL I DO!"

Bubblegum rolled her eyes as they hear a knock at the door after DJ had shut the door.
DJ oppened the door to find a red pony standing there.

"YOU KIDNAPPERS!"

To be continued...

Chapter Thirty-six.five, Dreams

It was Sunday night as Bubblegum lay asleep in her bed. But she woke up soon afterwards.

"Hmm... I thought I was in Twilight's castle..."

She looked around her to see trees and grass, but no Ponyville to be seen.

"Twilight?" She said, eating the grass just to make sure it was real. "Huh?"

She heard festival music going on past the trees and could see balloons flying up into the air. She started to walk towards the ballons and saw ponies dancing on a concrete ground, wearing beautiful white suits and dresses. Bubblegum then looks down to see that she is, too.

"Was I invited?..."

She steps onto the concrete as she notices everyone stopped.

"Ew..." A pony said, disgusted.

"What is she wearing?" A male pony asked another stallion.

They all stared at her, obviously disgusted.

"What's.... Wrong?" She looked over to see a familier face. "Luna?..."

Suddenly, they were all in a living room of a house. Bubblegum is in the hallway, watching Twilight speak to all these ponies, but she couldn't hear what she was saying. Luna and the rest of them walked out into the hallway to talk.

"I can't believe you!" Beastman said. "I thought I could trust you, Bubblegum."

Luna walked up to Mohawk. "Do you think that Bubblegums' only nice because she hangs out around Twilight?"

Mhawk nodded his head. "But are you sure?"

"I have proof." She looks over to Applejack. "Applejack! Come over here for a second." She came rushing over. "Do you think Bubblegum is nice because she hangs out around Twilight?"

"Darn tootin'!" She yelled. "I don't think Bubblegum is nice at all! MAybe, she only likes you because of Twilight."

"I think so-..."

Bubblegum couldn't take this and ran outside. She saw that it was nighttime and saw a car. Physco was inside with sunglasses.

"Are they being rude to you?" He pulled down the glasses.

"Yeah.... I'm glad your not mad at me." She sighed with relief. "Why is everyone acting that way? Why is Twilight even acting that way?"

"Maybe you should ask your friend!"

Suddenly, Physco was replaced by Shadow in the car.

"Eek!" Bubblegum tried to run, but Shadow picked her up with his hoof.

"Aww is Princess Bubblegum not getting what she wanted? Mwahahahahaha!"

"Nooooooooooooo!"

"Bubblegum!" Twilight yelled as she woke up from her sleep.

"Get away from me!" Bubblegumgum replied. "You- you traitor!"

"What are you talking about? You were yelling in your sleep."

She then realized she was dreaming and stood up, blushing. "Sorry..."

"And why are you calling me a 'traitor'?"

"N-no reason!" She crossed her hoof and smiled nervously. "Mmmm What's that smell?"

"Bacon and eggs. Want some?"

"Sure!"
