Chapter 20 - Old Friends

Previous Chapter

Bree stood in the middle of the stadium with a cup of water across from her. She concentrated on the water spell, trying to recreate Starlight Glimmer magic trick. She could picture the imagery in her head sending the water soaring. Sadly, the liquid wasn’t moving from it spot. Bree infuriated state made her kick the cup.

“Don’t break it” Lyra calmly said.

“Who care, I can buy another one” the girl responded. Harp shook her head yet she wouldn’t let the girl bring her down, the mare open the spell book with glee.

“You know Bree, why do you want to learn water spells when there's more interesting stuff here” she said in delight. This caught Bree attention like a filly laying eyes on a piece of cake. “But nah, you don’t want to learn something like this”

“Yeah, it must be stupid…” she put on her best frown.

“Yeah, lightning sound pretty boring” Harp joke. Bree snap her head thrilled.

“No way!” the human said. Causing her friend to lift the book to show a crudely picture of pony shooting a lightning bolt. “Ok fine, what to I have to do” she submitted.

“Simple, emotionally and physically you have to feel strong” Lyra said. The girl thought the instruction were vague. Most of this magic stuff was. It was a blessing allowing me to come up with little magic tricks but more times than not it was a curse restricting different type of spell depending on my emotion. The girl took a deep breath just as her hand shift forward. The sensation of a hundred one ants crawl thru her arm for a little spark.

“Did you see that!” Bree yell in high spirits.

“That Good but don’t lose focus” she warns. Bree keep her pose up as well as her concentration. The spark on her fingertips would shift from size. Letting it build up until fully prepare. Eventually the girl flicks her hand creating a big fuzzy burst of electricity, putting the Bree on edge. The lightning quickly diffuses leaving my hand stiff. Harp was watching with wondrous.

“Wow, that was so cool!” Lyra yell.

“Wow, thanks for the concern” the girl responded amusingly.

“I thought you said magic was easy” she answers back.

“Whatever, can we try sometime else” Bree suggested. The girl massages her hand feeling her muscle strain. Harp felt motivated to quickly pick up the next spell.

“Oh, this one is easy and sounds interesting. Is call astral projection” Harp show the book presenting a picture of a pony soul leaving the body.

“Ok, what to I have to do?” Bree ask a little unsure.

“Come here, sit in front of me” Lyra tab the grass in front of her offering a chair. The girl moves uncertain to the spot that was offer. “Bree close your eyes and relax, you have to feel like you want to go somewhere very far away” Harp said.

“I’m a little confused” the girl question.

“Just feel like your going to sleep, I think that going to work” she said.

“Ok, but what the point of this?” Bree asks.

“I believe is away for you to experience your subconscious mind or visit the physical plane” Harp said. Bree was perplexing from the information. I swear this pony is crazy the girl thought as she closes her eyes and felt how exhausted she really was, it was strange, it’s not like I been very active today. Nevertheless, she uses this as her advantage. The girl took a breather but I don’t think this is working. I open back my eyes to see myself in the stadium however Lyra was missing.

“Ha, ha, your real funny Harp” Bree said not falling for the prank. She hears flutter water noises from her back. Bree gaze at a human on her knees playing with a little pool of water. But I kind of remember seen her before. She was a short human girl with long brown hair and look plump furthermore, she was naked. Bree turn her head away from the expose human.

“Please don’t tell me this is my subconscious thought, like am I really thinking of naked girls?” she said with red roses cheeks. “I can’t tell Lyra this, this is embarrassing” but she felt some familiarity whenever she would stare at the girl nevertheless, she didn’t want to stay here for much longer. In a blink of an eye the girl reappears in front of Harp.

“Did it work?!” she enthusiastic asks.

“No it didn’t” She lie.

“Really? because it look like you where meditating” Harp responded.

“I was trying to concentrate” the girl reply.

“Mh ok, well whatever, you want to try the water spell one more time” the mare said while holding the cup fill with water. Bree was surprised to see the mare holding the cup, making her question how long was I in my subconscious but nevertheless she decided to try again.

“Sure” she said. Harp form a joyful smile while throwing the water in my face. Bree was not amused by the actual prank but that did not stop her from chuckling. The pony threw herself on the ground roaring with laughter.

“Oh Celestia I’m dying” she said in between breaths. Bree slowly got up with a rapscallion mannerism and tickling gesture. “Wait, what are you doing? Lyra quickly got up and ran for dear life while the girl chases the mare. “Bree, it was just a little prank!”

“Dash I don’t understand your sudden interest in humans” Fluttershy responded to her friend. Rainbow Dash was laying on the couch chillaxing as she sometime says.

“Please I need to know” Dash whine. She glances at Flutter dusting the house yet stop to answer.

“Then yes, if a critter could talk to ponies then I imagine it could understand our behavior. But if you’re so interested in human why don’t you talk to Lyra, she should be her soon” she said. Getting back to her chore.

“Wait, what!” she shouted. Fluttershy cover her ears from the loud yell. When Dash was going to apologized, she hears a knock.

“Hey Flutterfly I brought Bree over” Lyra call over the house owner. Dash became tense she looks left and right but decided to jump behind the couch. Fluttershy shook her head, she didn’t know what was wrong with her friend but she had visitor. The yellow mare answers the door with a smile to greet her visitor. Harp greeted back walking in with a very grumpy human by her side.

“Come in, if you don’t mind the mess” Fluttershy said. Bree survey the home observing how squeaky clean it looks. “Lyra you can sit Bree on the couch”

“Yeah, Bree let go-“Lyra stumble when her human push her way in. The girl made a little jump landing on the couch. The force pushes the sofa back, hearing the leg scratch with the floor however the décor made a little ‘ouch’ sound which worry Bree. Don’t tell me couches are alive as well. “Bree be gentler” Lyra beg. The girl responded with an eye roll.

“Aww, you two are so cute together” Fluttershy interrupted Lyra silent argument with her human.

“Oh I bet” Harp reply glaring the human. The yellow pegasus slyly flew over to the girl and grab the bottom of her shirt to lift it up. Bree swiftly grab the Fluttershy hoof scaring the poor mare. It wasn’t the girl intention she was more aware of the dangerous she faces and slowly released her grip. The pegasus eyes where wide almost too afraid to continue until she saw Lyra stand by her side. The yellow mare continue inspection the bruises the owner has warn her about including the black eye. But truth be told Fluttershy was not a human doctor and her knowledge on humans was limited.

“Maybe some painkiller will help, I’ll see if I have some” Flutter suggested.

“Let me help” Harp answer back. She nodded and they both walk out of the room. Bree scan her surrounding checking if she was alone. The girl lay back on the couch while lifting her shirt and decided to play with her stomach. The spot around the bruises felt good to the touch and she avoided the purple mark themselves too scared of hurting herself further. All while she felt an intense gaze. Bree felt movement beside her and quickly turn her head. Coming in contact with a rainbow color hair mare watching me. I quickly pull my shirt down with a hint of shame. And the pony hid again.

Bree peek slightly to stare at the mare in the back of the couch. It was as awkward as she was expecting it would be. There were many questions running on her head, like why is there a pony hiding behind the couch. The girl crouch on the sofa and waited for the perfect moment. As soon as Dash blink the human jump and roughly landed next to the mare alarming her.

“Hel, ha, ha” Dash call for help but quickly turn to laughter when Bree took hold of the pony and tickle her stomach. This was revenge for spying on me. She had no control over her laugh and roar. Bree tries taming the animal but she was fierce flapping her wing wildly. Eventually breaking free of her hold jumping away from the girl.

She was jittery couple more with the sweat mark on her temple. Man, this pony was easily scared over a small prank. The girl tries to help Dash up but she quickly flew away dashing through the door. The speed amazes the girl.

She was quite interesting Bree thought. From the color of her hair down to her raspy voice giving her that tomboyish charm she like. It was an overreaction running away from me the way she did. From the back of the couch the girl jumps and lay on the sofa but when she landed on the décor the legs snap. The loud sound of wood breaking mix with the sudden drop of elevation. She knew she should of listen to Lyra, being more gentle with stuff and what not. “Uh, oh”

“I can’t believe you broke her couch” Lyre said covering her face. She was in her house by the kitchen laying on the counter.

“I swear is wasn’t me” Bree responded. The girl remains seated while her legs were up on the dinner table. She been told many times that where they eat but at this point Lyra had giving up on lecturing the girl.

“Yeah! Then why is there a smile plaster on your face” Harp answer back while pointing a hoof directly at the human.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” she said holding her laughter. “It was that colorful pony”

“Oh forget it Bree, you never admit when your wrong anyways” Lyra said in earnest.

“Uh excuse me” the girl responded defensively.

“Nothing just forget it”

“No, no, I can take it, give me your complain”

“You know what, I will. I been keeping track of some of your behavior and is worrying” Lyra fire back. Bree stood silent and mock her friend by making faces. “Ok, you seen very confident using fire spells however I read that you need anger, anxiety and insecurity in order to effectively use it”

“Oh please, to you really believe everything you read?” she fought back.

“No, but It make sense. Bree, you can be calm and all of the sudden you blow up on someone if they bring up one thing you don’t like” Lyra spoke softly to not hurt her feeling. The girl seen outrage by the claim furthermore stood up pointing a finger at the pony.

“Just admit it, you think I’m a screw up” Bree guess.

“I never said that, but you have to admit that your use of magic is, kind of reckless” Harp regretfully spoke. The girl was offended and she threw her arms up in the air. “Bree what are doing?” the pony asks.

“Oh don’t mind me I’m just thinking of shooting a big bright beam right now” she said closing her eyes. Bree know that the simple action would annoy the pony beyond believe.

“This is exactly what I mean” Harp sigh dropping her head. She thought that as mature the girl like to act, she could really be childish sometime. “I don’t say- Bree what are you doing!” she yells aghast. The girl was at a loss until she realized how warm her right hand felt. Panic stuck her immediately when her gaze fell on the small orb forming on her index finger.

“Oh no, Harp what to I do!” Bree yell closing in on her friend.

“Don’t point it at me!” Lyra yell back rolling off the counter taking cover. It was no use Bree was stuck with this thing on her hand, and what’s worst was that I could feel it liberating on it own at any moment. I want it to exit the home but it was too late. I instinctively pull my hand up feeling the vibration as well as the blow of wind couple with the loud blast noise leaving the girl almost deaf. The swift high-speed beam crumbles the cement rooftop.

When the house when silent Bree look at the damage and sigh, relief knowing it wasn’t as bad as it sounded. There was a hole on the roof the size of her hand. Additionally, you could see live wires sparking. Harp pop her head asking if it was safe. The girl hesitates to answer making the owner of the house very anxious. Lyra timidly approach the girl seen the mess she causes. Her eyes widen when she saw the sky from the inside her home. “No, no, is not that bad we can totally cover it up” Bree desperately tries to defend herself.

“Yeah I think we can” she calmly replies.

“Oh, I thought you were going to kill me or something” Bree said intersecting humor into the situation. Harp didn’t respond still upset far what I done. “Look, I bet is not that bad” the girl when to turn the living room lights on just to cause all the electricity in the house to go haywire rapidly blinking. The light bulb next to the cavity blew up furthermore the lights for the entire house when dead. The house was bleak yet with the small light provided by the windows. “Ok, this isn’t so bad right we can still fix this” Bree try to stay positive.

Yet the misfortune ran through the air. One loud crack was hear from top of the mare head. Harp felt a chip land on her hair, realizing that it came from the small hole from above. She didn’t waste time and made a run for it. The cracks around the small crater turn bigger finally caving in. The loud wood snap mix with the hard pound of rocks landing on the middle of the home made a rucking on the home. Lyra threw dagger at the girl. “Come on Harp, who needs lights when we have a skylight” Bree answer while shrugging. This was the best excuse she could come up with. Lyra wasn’t haven’t it.

“I’m ganna kill you!” she threatens. She sprints into action and for the first time Bree took her friend threat serious. The girl wants to mention the fact that they were like sister and that would be wrong but she was sure Lyra wouldn’t appreciate the joke. The girl ran from the mare pursue. She darts towards the door in order to run away. Unfortunately, it was much too dark for the human eyes and she bang herself against the entrance. Bree finish breaking the door trembling to the floor.

“Ouh, that one hurt” she lay on top of the door, which was now on the floor, whining and laughing through the pain. Lyra was astonishing of the amount of destruction done in less than ten minutes. Yet chuckle at the girl rubbing her arm on the floor. “Thanks for the concern”

“I’m sorry but you have to admit that you kind of deserve it. Question now is, what do we do?”

“I can pay for it” the girl said.

“No you can’t, because I can’t. But I have an idea”

____________________

Harp knock on the door until hearing a low muffle voice “I’m coming, give me a second”.

“To we really have do to this” The grumpy human said.

“Well do you have any better idea” Lyra calmly responded. The girl rolls her eyes knowing that it bothers the mare, yet Harp tries her best to ignore the troublemaker.

“I’m Lyra and I secretly want my girlfriend to bang me” Bree mock. The mare angry pointed a hoof at the girl.

“I’m this close from killing you” Harp almost yell forgetting that they had knock on the door. When it was answer Bon Bon stood in the entrance to welcome her new unexpected guess.

“Why harpy, that no way to talk to your human” she playfully said.

“W-what no ,I was just mmh…” Lyra stumble making Bon Bon chuckle. Bree look at the two them flirting which made her roll her eyes again. “I mean, hey Bon Bon, how are you?”

“Much better after seen my best friend, how can I help you?” she sounded honest in her word. The minty pony rubs one of her forearms with the other.

“To you remember that yesterday you told me that I could come to you if I ever needed help” Lyra told Bon Bon who nodded not knowing where this conversation was going. “Well, the roof of our house crack and fell in and then the lights when out”

“Is this a set up for a joke?” she asks.

“No, our house is falling apart and we kind of need a place to stay until we fix our home” Lyra said hopeful. Bon Bon thought it was a joke but her friend wasn’t laughing.

“Your serious?” the pink strip mare tries to confirm and Lyra nodded. Bon Bon Looks behind her but turn back waving her new guest to follow. We all enter the home and Bree took a second to explore the place. It was virtually the same structure as Harp home yet the place looks fancy. The walls where light brown as well as the décor look old school couple with the kitchen having more space.

At the bottom of the hallway Bon Bon shove us into a dark room yet she turns the lights on before closing the door. She left us alone therefor the girl had time explore the room. The bedroom walls were painted white with fancy wood floorboard. Above all there where hundreds of pictures taking from magazine or in person. They almost covering the wall itself. Lots of news paper clipping were attach to the wall, most of them at a pony call Photo Finish in them. I can see someone a fan.

Bree move from picture to picture until she set her eyes on the Canterlot section. It shows picture inside the castle like a tour, her and another pony would pose in different spot of the city. It would show the places outside Canterlot too. Different passages, roads and a river. The girl body stop to take an analytical view. Its almost like she seen the river before. She when to grab the picture but was stop by Lyra.

“Bree, you promise me you wouldn’t break anything” she warns.

“I’m just looking, why are you breathing down my neck” the girl reply.

“Probably because you’re a menace to homes everywhere” the mare explained.

“I don’t want to see you bonk beds with your girlfriend, can’t we stay with Derpy or someone else?”

“You don’t understand out predicament?” the mare exasperated. “Let me explain the situation to you, first you stole from Twilight, second you scared Fluttershy half to death and third, you doodle on Derpy face and now we can’t even talk to her because Clouds is keeping watch over her almost twenty four seven” Lyra took a gulp of breath after she finish talking. The girl usually blazes when someone throw insult but she seen more hurt overall.

“Yeah well, is not like I care” Bree was dismissed.

“When to you ever!” Lyra raise her voice failing to hold her grudge.

“Exactly! And you know what, I rather sleep on the street than share a room with a stupid horse” the girl finally lost her temper and Lyra soon follow.

“Oh yeah! Then I’m glad you’re your leaving. Why, because no one is going to put up with your attitude!” Bree ignore the pony and open the door to leave however before she closes the door she poke her head out.

“And you know what, I take back what I said about your hair, it looks ugly, like you” she said before shutting the doorway. While on her way out she encounters Bon Bon walking back to her bedroom. She had a tray fill with cookies.

“Bree, do you want one?” she offers extending her forearm. Bree tip the tray and keep walking. She hears the metal tray hit the floor but she didn’t look back. The girl exits the home and prepare herself to slam the entrance door yet decided to leave it open. Making someone go out of there way to close it. She centers her way back to town. Ponyville turn in early, in other words I could roam around at night undisturbed.

“Harp thinks she know everything about me, uh no. The only thing she good at is being a nuisance. Treating me like a kid when I’m way more mature than her” she fumes. Bree found the fountain in the middle of town. It had a generic unknown pony. The girl took a chair by the edge of the fountain next to the puddle of water. “Lyra so stupid… I’m so stupid” she said.

All the anger she felt instantaneously vanish replace by forlorn. She brought her hands to rub her face from the stress. Asking for a one friend to make this nightmare stop. She had her eyes close yet felt the warm the stone brought. Momentarily she gazes on the stone light clashing against the night. Next she overhears water splashes behind her. She threw her eyes to another human wearing cloths. The human looks eerie similar like the one from earlier, from that weird subconscious thing I was. She would stick her hand inside the black oily water like she was playing with it. Bree ignores the human and turn back to look her surrounding. It was like the world around her had disappeared and the only chunk remaining was the one I was standing.

She was caught by surprise when the other human put her hand on her shoulder. When she looks up, the other strange girl smile “Hey Quinn, it been a while” the human said casually. The girl eyes stagger and remain frozen.

“Did you just talk?” Bree responded.

“Thank you for coming back Dash, I didn’t want to feed my chickens alone again” Fluttershy said.

“No problem and trust me, next time I find this girl I’m going to have a couple words with her” Rainbow Dash told her friend shaking her hoofs.

“Dashie, please don’t get in trouble”

“I never do” she confidently spoke. Yet her friend was not convinced but before Fluttershy could retort her claim the rainbow pagasus speed back to town.


Author's Note

A/N: Ok so, I got either bad or good news. Depending on how you see thing. This story will discontinue. I’ll post one more chapter and the story will be shut down. I thought about it for almost a month but one of the reasons why I continue is because I dislike when people leave there work unfinish. The irony.

But I won’t stop writing. If you like the premises for this story. I’ll be making a reboot, I guess. It can’t be the same story, that would be against the rules. So, the next story will be an Alternate Universe in Equestria Girl and sunset shimmer will be MC. It the same magic system and I’ll mix some alchemy In the same light as Fullmetal Alchemist.The story will go up after I post the last chapter.

And I posted another story ‘Castle of Fantasy’ if you want to check it out (Viewer discretion is advised).
