The Heart Chronicles: "The Twin Trap"

Destiny (Dessie):

“I wonder why he had to leave so quickly,” Vi says to me as we were walking back to my house. I was fairly quiet as we walked out of the forest wondering if I had done something to upset the pony before he disappeared because he looked at me as if he knew me. It was as if I had seen him before. “Hey mini Sparks, you all good,” she asks me as soon I heard her call me “Mini Sparks” I looked up.

“I’m not Sparks, I’m just thinking, sorry if I’m not as enthused as usual I just need to process what I just saw before he vanished.” It was weird seeing someone who looked like me, but why did he? I’ve seen the cake Twins before and they look absolutely nothing alike. Okay, maybe the color of them both, but that’s it. And also my Mom and Aunt Amethyst Heart. Amethyst is dark blue and Mommy is very light yellow. This is all so creepy. I need answers and fast. There’s no way I could have a twin.

As we enter the house Sparks is in the dining room writing in her journal as she gets up and then comes to us and asks us “Did you guys have fun?” Vi speaks up first as I grab one of her cameras and start taking wacky pictures of myself. Trying to get out of my mind of what we both experienced Acting like if nothing ever happened is one of the specialties I possess. I should be an actress instead of a model when I’m older.”We met somepony in the forest,” I hear Violet say to Sparks. “I even got a picture of him,” she says with a gleam in the tone of her voice as she shows my sister the picture of the sky blue colt.

“Holy Celestia,” Sparks says “Am I seeing double,” she says kind of baffled as she held the picture up to my left side leaning over Violet. “Oh my gosh, this is so exciting, Dessie don’t you know what this means?” I shook my head because for me to be a twin it would have to go way back in the other centuries just like it did for the Cakes. This was absurd. “This is absurd,” I tell her. “You’re more excited about this colt then I am, which is really weird because you’re acting like if you know of him,” I say with a raised eyebrow.

“I don’t I’m just saying, you have your own doppelganger,” she says excitedly.

“Just because he looks like me, does not mean that he’s my Twin,” I tell her with a raised voice. “And you can’t have a doppelganger unless you’re Discord and you have his weird magic,” I tell her. “Suit yourself little sister, but it would be so cool,” she says to me. Sparks was really getting on my nerves with this whole Twin scenario subject. The pony I really wanted to be excited about this whole thing is Momma, although I’ll understand if she’s afraid of this at first, this is really a world turner if it’s correct.

“Do you have a name for this mysterious unicorn?” Sparks then asks Violet as Vi then takes off the flower from her ear and says “This is what he did to the flower he wrote his name, which means star.”

“That’s a pretty meaning, can we hear what his name is though,” Momma asks Violet as we all jump. How long has she been standing there? We then hear her chuckle and then say “Sorry my little fillies, didn’t mean to scare you I am done with my work for today and I wanted to see if you guys were hungry I can make sandwiches if you guys want any?” We all nod as Violet then clears her throat and follows Momma to the kitchen while Sparks and I go back to what we were doing. It wasn’t long before we heard a crash and Violet asking Momma “Oh my Gosh, Faith are you okay,” Sparks immediately rushed into the kitchen to aid Momma and calm her down. When I got there all I saw was this face of distraught and utter relief on Momma, which was weird. “Mom, why don’t you sit down and I’ll clean this up while Vi and Dessie make the sandwiches,” Sparks says giving her a comforting smile. “I… Can’t sit down…” Momma says kind of scaring me a little. “I…I…have to go, excuse me,” she says while flying out of the house.

“What was that all about,” I asked while helping Violet with the sandwiches. “What did you say to her?” “Nothing, I just said his name and then the glass pitcher of Apple Juice crashed as she covered her face with her hoodie like she was afraid of something.”

“You guys want to skip lunch and find out what it is,” Sparks asks us.

“I just want to make sure she’s not mad at me,” Violet says with her ears faced down as she frowns.

“I’m sure she’s not mad Bestie maybe just a little shaken up,” Sparks reassures her as she nods.

“So, are we heading out or what,” I asked with a somewhat smile. It’s not that I was excited I just wanted to get out of the house since I came home early from school.

“We’ll go now, finish your lunch,” Sparks tells me before going back to her own.

After lunch, we headed back to the Everfree forest, where we hid behind a bush as we saw Momma screaming a red stallion saying “Let me see him,” “Let me see him Please,” it sounded like she was crying too and my heart broke. Sparks had used her magic to project their voices, so that way we could hear better. “Sparks, did you know anything about this,” Violet asked. “I don’t know Vi, but if I did know anything, I’d probably send it to the back burner now,” she says very bleakly. It was at that very moment, where Sparks stopped the projection of their voices and she started looking pale and green at the same time, which frightened me a little because I know that when Sparks becomes ill it’s really bad just like Momma.

“Baby, you okay,” we hear Zane say as Vi and myself look at each other with a raised eyebrow wondering “when did he show up?” As Sparks rushes to a trash can to go puke her guts out and Vi and Zane follow her I stayed looking at Momma talking to the stallion and then I see her coming out with Phoenix, Vi’s brother, but why would he be at this pony’s house, this didn’t make any sense to me at all. Who are these ponies? Why did Momma want to see the colt so bad? And, why was she yelling at that Stallion?
