"Good morning Twilight." Said the purple dragon. Slowly walking down the stairs of the hollowed out tree, rubbing the sleep out of his eyes.
"Ohh, I didn't expect to see you up this early Spike." Replied the lavender unicorn. sitting at her desk off to the side of the library intently studying a few books.
" Hey, I was wondering if we were doing anything today Twilight?"
" Umm, here let me check my schedule, but I don't think so." Twilight pulls out her agenda. "No we don't have anything to do today... Why do you ask?" She says not looking up from her studies.
"Well I was wondering if I could go gather some flowers for Rarity in the field near the everfree forest?" He says, slightly blushing under his purple scales.
"Go ahead. But when are you going to be back?" She asks, slightly looking up from her studies
"I should be back in an hour."
As spike left Twilight thought to herself 'I guess I could go visit my friends, I know. I'll go see if Applejack needs any help on Sweet Apple Acres.' As she left the left Twilight felt the hot air pound on her coat, as she started the long walk to sweet apple acres.
When Twilight arrived at Sweet Apple Acres the orange mare with a long blonde mane and tail notices her and calls out "Hey Sugarcube what can I do for you."
" Hi AppleJack. Spikes left to gather flowers for rarity near the everfree forest so I was wondering if i could help out here while he's gone for a while."
"Well okay. I guess you help me pick the apples from the trees. But considering you cant applebuck, you can just use your magic.
After about an hour of work in the the cool shade of the orchard Twilight finished up transporting the apples to the farm said that she better go check on Rarity and see if she got the flowers.
"Okay sugar cube see ya later." And with that AJ went back to work as Twilight left the orchard. Immediately wishing she was back under the orchard as the heat hit her again. And she started h
eading back to town to see Rarity. In the back of her head Twilight thought I wonder what is going to become of Spike and Rarity considering her crush on the royal stallion prince Fancy Pants.
Upon arriving at Rarity house Twilight did she the white unicorn with a purple mane outside. She thought that she was probably just inside working on her latest fashion creation or just admiring the flowers Spike delivered.
She knocked on the door and saw that it was open a crack. Twilight opened the door and called " Rarity are you home?... It's Twilight."
The white mare popped her head around the corner and answered her with a mild Canterlot accent " Oh, why hello darling. how are you doing today?"
"Oh, I'm fine" I said with a smile on my face to see my friend again. " I just came to see how you liked the flowers Spike gave you."
Rarity now put her entire body around the corner, showing a look of confusion instead of a smile as she said " What flowers are you talking about dear?"
Now Twilight was confused as her brain ran scenarios as to why she gave an unpredicted response. "Umm...Didn't Spike come over about half and hour ago with flowers from the field."
"No. I haven't seen Spike since yesterday."
Twilight was now getting worried. "Maybe he went back to the library... Sorry I've got to go. See you later." And with that she started trotting back to the hollowed out tree she calls home. When she arrived she called out his name. When no one answered she went to his room to see if he was sleeping. He wan't in the library. She thought that maybe he was still in the field. She started a fast trot to the field he said he was going to.
When she arrived and found no Spike she started a panic attack." Oh, Celestia. what if she finds out that I have lost Spike." She said to herself. The panic attack wasn't helping as her brain couldn't think of where he was. After she calmed down a bit she noticed some tracks. Baby dragon tracks by the look of it heading into the forest. She then thought that he went into the forest but then found herself with just more questions. Questions liken why would he go into the forest? Spike is smart enough to know not to go into the everfree forest. He must have had a reason to go into the forest. But what was the reason? The reason soons dawns on her that he must have ventured in the forest looking for more flowers.
After lots of thought she decided to follow the baby dragon tracks into the forest. After about 10 minutes of following the tracks she realizes that she can't find them anymore. She is now lost and because she can't accept the fact that she is lost she cries searching frantically for the trail. When she accepts that fact she is lost she just decides to go forward. After about 10 to 20 minutes of walking she stumbles upon some mysterious ruins. With a tear stained faces she soons finds herself to be more content now that she has something to distract her brain from the fact that she is lost.
After sitting there trying to figure out what these ruins are she decides to draw equations in the dirt. But when she uses her magic to fetch a stick her magic must have caused a reaction with the mysterious ruins. Before Twilight realizes what has happened an eerie glow engulfs her and blinds her with a very bright flash of white light, and drowns out all outside sound if there even was any with a high pitched noise seeming to emanate from the ruins.
When Twilight could finally see see realized that she saw a poorly furnished room with a high ceiling and was not on the ground but rather floating about 10 feet above it. With a look of confusion she sees a fillie not more than a month and a half old.
"Whoa, what just happened. Hey look at that fillie. Strange. It has the same shade shade of purple as me. And the same hair. She looks exactly like me, but with the cutie ark of course. Wait... No it can't be... She can't possibly be... Me?" But upon closer examination she confirms it but does not trust her brain with the facts it has given her.
Twilights confused look on her face now turned into something much more than just confused. After the initial shock of seeing her fillie self she also noticed that the parents she sees here are not the parents she remembers.Instead of the blue and white parents she remembers she sees the mare is purple with a white mane and tail and the colt is black with a purple mane and tail. Twilight decides to follow her fillie self around when she goes outside she sees that she is in a very quite poor part of equestria.
Then to her great confusion they suddenly jump to a scene with a small cake with a candle 1 on it. Twilight goes to blow it out and takes her nearly 4 tries until she succeeds. When she realizes that she was jumping from moment to moment.
As her family was clearly struggling to keep her healthy because of the poor and under-developed part of Equestria that they live in. When on a stormy night her parents tell the fillie to pack up her things and get in there carriage. Twilight obeyed her parents and packed her little suitcase. When they get on the road the fillie asked where they are going and the parents didn't respond with some tears running down the colts face and running freely down the mares cheeks as well.
Through the dense rain the fillie could now make out the bright lights of what can only be Canterlot. "Mommy, Why are we going to Canterlot?" She said with a confused face
"don't worry honey, everything is going to be alright." The mare cooed gently to her daughter. The raindrops were the only thing distracting her from what her mother meant by that.
