My Little Jealousy: Friendship Was Magic

My Little Pony: Friendship Was Magic

Chapter 5: Luna Enters

Twilight was in the middle of no where when all of a sudden a familiar voice whispered out her name. She was creeped out and jumped up to a tree branch. She spotted her friends sitting still with frowns on their faces. They weren't looking at anything but the ground. Twilight became even more worried.

She slowly walked over to her friends to approach them what is wrong. Twilight gently tapped on the southern earth pony's shoulders, which only led her to shove the purple hoof away from her shoulder. Twilight was even more confused. She turned around to meet Rainbow Dash but she was looking grey than blue. She waved her hoof over to the pegasus' face to know if she is still alive. Of course she was as the pegasus swiped the purple hoof away from her face.

''Hello?'' Twilight called. ''Are you guys okay? What happened to you all?''

''Why?'' Fluttershy asked. ''I thought it was obvious.''

''You want to know what happened?'' Pinkie Pie pointed her hoof at Twilight. ''You did this!''

''Me?'' she was taken aback by this. ''What do you mean?''

''Oh,'' Applejack huffed. ''Cut the act, Princess Twilight.''

Twilight thought to herself. Since when did one of her best friends call her 'princess', they only did when she became into an alicorn but she told them not to call her that.

''Fine,'' said Rainbow Dash, ''you really want to know?''

Twilight had no other choice. She needed an answer on why they were acting like this. She nodded her head gently in response.

''You are immortal,'' Rarity continued, ''and we are not, which means we will eventually have to die and you can get all the glory and luxury you want.''

''What?'' she said. ''No!''

Pinkie Pie twisted her head around to look at the violet alicorn princess. ''You never cared about us! If you really did, then you would have asked Princess Celestia why you only get the glory when it wasn't only you saving Equestria or learning friendship lessons. Sure, you were her student, but still!''

Twilight stepped back. ''I do care about you! What are you talking about? And...I'm sorry?''

''Sorry doesn't cut it,'' Fluttershy said, crossing her arms out in front of her.

''This isn't called jealousy,'' Rainbow Dash stated, ''it is called finally saying something about leadership.''

''Come on!'' Applejack exclaimed. ''I mean, who does Princess Celestia think she is? How dare she make leadership a thing in friendship groups! There shouldn't be one!''

''It just makes one pony be better than the other,'' Rarity explained.

''Guys,'' said Twilight, ''I can explain that this is not my fault...Princess Celestia-''

''Must always be about Princess Celestia?'' asked Fluttershy. ''Now I understand why Princess Luna was jealous of her, because it is always about her sister!''

''And,'' Rainbow Dash added, ''it is always about you!''

She said that as she jumped on Twilight's face. This had terrified her and made her back away.

''No,'' she uttered. ''It is not about me! I make sure each of every one of my friends get the same attention as me!''

''Yeah,'' said Pinkie Pie, ''and what is that going to do, huh? Still doesn't make up the fact why you have powers and wings and not us!''

''Okay,'' Twilight said, ''this is getting out of hoof and turning into jealousy.''

''If you were in our position,'' Fluttershy explained, ''you would understand.''

Each one of her friends circled around her. Pinkie bounced up and down with a mad expression. She jumped into Twilight's face which made her shrunk down. They all started calling out her names. Twilight tried to block her ears so she wouldn't hear them but it was no use.

Soon after, she woke up and found herself in her bed. She was breathing heavily and her heart was beating faster than usual. She got out from her comfortable bed and raced towards the door. When the door creaked open, she found a guard with wild blue mane walking past her.

He soon caught her eye.

''Princess,'' he asked, ''what are you doing here? Is everything okay?''

Twilight sighed. ''Yes, Flash. Everything is okay. I just need some fresh air to cool down.''

''Oh,'' he said. ''Okay, princess.''

He trotted down the hallway as Twilight walked the other way. She spotted her royal advisor's door and gently opened it. She slowly walked towards Spike's bed as she got inside. She sat next to his basket and gently tapped him on the muzzle.

She didn't want to wake him up from his slumber but this is for an emergency, right? As he didn't wake up, Twilight plucked out one of her feathers from her wings and used that to tickle Spike in his belly. He soon wake up with a terribly laugh.

''Twilight,'' he said. ''Stop!''

Twilight smiled. ''Sorry, Spike. But I need...well, your guidance.''

The baby dragon stood up in his comfortable basket.

''For what?'' he asked.

Twilight took a deep breath. ''I had a nightmare today and well...''

''Hey,'' he called. ''Shouldn't you go to Princess Luna for that?''

''Yes, but I don't want to interfere her from her slumber or her night realm. I came to you because you are my royal advisor, are you not?'' Twilight bounced her eyebrows and flapped her eyelashes at him.

Spike shrugged. ''Well, you did just ruin my slumber but sure. What was the dream about?''

She sighed. ''It was strange. I was in the middle of no where when I saw my friends sitting still, showing no emotions. I tried talking to them but then a minute later, they started talking...''

Twilight carried on with the rest of her dream. She would have caught a small red light flash behind her, inside of Spike's closet with the door merely closed. Spike saw this and raised an eyebrow.

Twilight saw his expression and turned around to see what he was looking at. She turned around to face him again when she found nothing to look at.

''Spike?'' she said. ''Where are you staring at?''

''What was that?'' he mumbled.

''What was what?'' Twilight asked with concern.

Spike was about to say something but shook it off. ''Never mind. Anyways, so back to your dream.''

''Right,'' Twilight cleared her throat.

Meanwhile, Princess Luna was just casually walking down the hallways of her and her sister's new home with an ice-cream tub levitating in the air with her magic. Until, her sister came out of her bedroom whilst rubbing her eyes out to fully wake up.

''Luna?'' she said. ''What are you doing up? And didn't I tell you not to eat ice-cream at night?''

The younger sister stopped her magic, letting the and the ice-cream tub fall to the ground. She blushed cutely and chuckled nervously.

''Yeah,'' she said, ''well...let's just say I had a nightmare and...''

''Wait,'' Princess Celestia interrupted. ''You spent these past few hours eating ice-cream and you didn't even bother to watch over Twilight and her friends' dreams?!''

''Oh, shit.''

The elderly sister slapped her face with hoof.

''Don't worry, Tia. I will enter in my night realm and check on everypony in their dreams starting now.''

Princess Celestia rolled her eyes in ignorance before going inside her bedroom again and shutting the door for no more interruptions. Meanwhile, Princess Luna concentrated to power her horn and send her to her dream realm. Once she got there, she saw that no pony was having nightmares, except one.

Pinkie Pie was playing with her baby alligator, Gummy. Rainbow Dash was having a race with her fellow enemy, Lightning Dust. Fluttershy was with Discord in her cottage and...the night princess shook it off and went to the next dream. Rarity was in excitement to open her fourth boutique in Equestria. And last but not least, Applejack was...

There was three large pile of apples in different colours cuddling around the southern cowgirl earth pony near a pond. Applejack wasn't looking very happy to be in the middle of them.

''What do you want from me?'' the southern pony asked. ''I suppose this is another trick from Discord.''

''Oh,'' the green apples started to speak. ''Applejack, Applejack, Applejack.''

''Must you always be so brash,'' the red apples started to speak. ''Applejack, Applejack, Applejack.''

''It was all your fault,'' the light red apples started to speak. ''Applejack, Applejack, Applejack.''

''What do you mean?'' the cowgirl asked.

''You killed your parents,'' the green apples approached her from behind.

''You said those awful comments about our praised and beloved, Princess Twilight Sparkle,'' the red apples said.

''You killed her as well,'' the light red apples started to say.

''No,'' the cowgirl uttered. ''It's not true! Y'all are lyin'! I never killed my parents! It was those pesky timberwolves varmints! Why is Twilight in every single topic? No! I did not kill her!''

The apples made the have a vision of a gravestone with the initials 'TS' and underneath was writing, 'curse you, Applejack, for killing our-beloved-and-most-important-than-you-princess.'

This made Applejack hurdle to the ground. She was frustrated and annoyed. Then after a few cries, brightness from the sky burnt the apples to the ground. Applejack stood back up from the ground and widened her eyes. She looked to the sky and met a tall blue alicorn landing on the ground and approaching her.

''Princess Luna?''

''Are you okay, Applejack?'' the princess of the night asked.

''Yes,'' she simply said. ''Wait, was this all a dream?''

''Indeed it was,'' the princess nodded.

''Oh, thank goodness! You saw and heard that, didn't you? Oh, I was getting so annoyed. They literally said I was the one causing my parents deaths and-''

She was suddenly caught off by the princess.

''I know,'' she said, ''I saw everything.''

The cowgirl ducked her head in shame. The princess placed her hoof under the cowgirl's chin to lift her head up high to meet her eyes.

''I am aware that they said you killed your parents and friend?'' she raised an eyebrow. ''The others aren't having nightmares but you. Why is this?''

''I...I have no idea, princess.''

''Hm,'' the princess tapped her chin, ''have you always had nightmares like these?''

''Well, um...no. I mostly have it on immortality and unfairness but I haven't had that since the party.''

''Oh. Yes,'' the princess said, ''I have been meaning to ask one of you lot about how you feel towards Twilight Sparkle having all the glory.'' She rolled her eyes. ''Let's just say that I know what it is like to be in your horseshoes, Applejack.''

The cowgirl sighed. ''I liked it how it was before when she was a unicorn. We would all just play 'round and have adventures, or even learn friendship lessons but now...everythin' just seems to be 'bout her now.''

''Hmmm,'' the princess thought to herself. ''The same thing happened in a story my sister told me a day after the party.''

The background was whistling and the wind was dragging Princess Luna back to the moon to where she came from. It was time for Applejack to wake up. The woke her up and made her fall off her bed. Applejack yelped as she fell.

''Ugh,'' she complained. ''Not again.''

A pink earth pony was bouncing around Ponyville, looking for something to do, until she found her favourite cousin sleeping on her job. There was a line at her apple stand. Pinkie Pie raised an eyebrow at this and bounced on over to her cousin.

''Hey, Applejack!'' she exclaimed which intently woke Applejack up from her sleep.

''Ah!'' she yelped. ''Pinkie Pie? A line? Wait, what the-''

The crowd was complaining and shouting on why the line wasn't moving.

''Oh my,'' she said, ''I can't believe I slept on the job! Sorry, Pinkie, but I got some apples to sell.''

''That is okay,'' she said, ''I was just here to wake you up and all.''

Applejack gave some apples to her fellow customer and continued on doing it for her other customers. She did it as quick as she could so they wouldn't complain no more. But as she sold them apples, she also was talking to her friend next to her.

''I don't know what got over me. I mean, me? Sleeping on the job? Why, I have never done that in all my life!''

''Hmmm,'' Pinkie Pie tapped her chin. ''Did you have enough sleep last night?''

''Well,'' the cowgirl said, giving the customer a handful of apple treats, ''I did have a nightmare last night and a conversation with Princess Luna.''

''YOU WERE TALKING TO PRINCESS LUNA ABOUT YOUR DREAM?'' Pinkie Pie exclaimed. ''She never once entered my nightmares!'' She threw her hooves in the air.

She then mumbled something inaudible under her for Applejack to not hear.

''What was that, Pinkie Pie?''

''Nothing!'' she exclaimed.

After a few customers have got their apples, two ponies trotted by in front of the cowgirl and she saw something that made her heart sank.

''Applejack?'' Pinkie said. ''Are you okay?''
