How To Grow A Maiden Garden; Wallflower's Garden

Wallflower was sure this was a dream, why? Because she found herself in the middle of something beautiful. A massive picturesque garden of her dream, something she would never be able to make in the real world. The flower beds all tangled, blended with all kinds and shear collection of colors, it was an amazing wealth of flowering plants.

“This is amazing…,” Wallflower looked around and examined each flower bloom with wonder. Many she could identify but some looked like they came out of a fantasy world.

“These, oh wow, the garden of my dreams… Huh, that tracks being a dream and all.”

“ Wait for me, White!" She heard a voice call out. Wallflower looked for it's owner but heard it again. "Come on, White Lily! Wait for me!” The voice was a young male and it just kept calling, called out for a White Lily.

“Come on Green Gable," Another voice, a female, finally answered back. "Just keep up!”

“You two, be careful. This is Mama's garden after all.” Added a slightly, older sounding female voice, maybe a per-teen?

“We will, Brownie!” The two younger voices called back.

“Don’t worry Brownie Sundae,” A new voice said with a slight laugh, it was familiar some how. “You ran around the garden just like them and you did it all by yourself. Though if it makes you feel better then keep an eye on them.” The strangely familiar voice added.

The owners of the voices came into view, three unicorns and a tall human. Two were younger foals, a filly with a white coat and a messy green mane, while the colt had a light green coat with a short, well kept blond mane. The older unicorn was a young mare with a Khaki brown coat, a long, blond mane well kept and styled. Behind them was a woman in a white, toga dress. Fixed near her throat was a star clasp, with a drooping flower painted on it. The three ponies dashed off deeper into the garden.

“Am I supposed to believe that you are from the future?” Wallflower said skeptically.

The older Wallflower turned around and faced her younger self. “That could be one possibility. Or maybe I am your mind's way of trying to come to terms with the thoughts that you might want to go to a magical pony land and be with a hunky unicorn? And don’t deny that part either way you can’t really lie here.”

Wallflower shrugged. “OK maybe…”

Her older self took a seat on a white stone bench then she motioned for Wallflower to sit down with her. “Still, we know why you're having trouble.”

“Really?” Wallflower started skeptically.

“Well, it all stems from your conversation with Sunset Shimmer…”

The scene changed.

The scene changed, It was late afternoon when Sunset Shimmer asked to meet in the yearbook’s planning committee room.

Wallflower could see Sunset was upset about something, it was like when Wallflower had torn away her friend's memories. It was the first time Wallflower really looked at Sunset and how much she had changed. The way she dressed even reflected it, she could see it now. She wasn’t dressed in what she used to be, not the harsher colors and leather but brighter as well as gentle colors.“How could I not see this before? Has she always been like that and I didn't know?” Whatever was happening it was really tearing her up and that worried what she had called her for.

“What’s up Sunset?” Wallflower asked, getting nervous about this meeting. “Why’d you want to talk to me?”

“Wallflower I don’t know how to tell you this soo,” The Bacon-ed hair girl pulled out a ratty sweater. Let’s say this sweater is your life, I’m sorry the way that it looks, but it will make sense when I start to explain. It’s about the Memory Stone and it’s drawbacks.”

“Drawbacks?” Wallflower looked at the ratty sweater. “How come I don’t think I’ll like when you say Drawbacks.”

“Powerful artifacts that have great effects on the world, must have some sort of balance. The more powerful the artifact and its abilities are, then more complex the drawbacks are, there has to be or it wouldn’t work right. The memory stone may alter and outright erase memory, but simply put it affects others' memory of you.” Sunset grabbed one of the sweater’s threads. “Think of this thread as a memory you changed…” She pulled, causing the sweater to squeeze, warp and tear. “The Stone was meant to remove Magically induced Memory ‘Damage’ or in some extreme case ‘Critical Levels of Trauma’ meant for use by a single or a group once or twice, but you used it constantly. So, the more you use the stone, the more memories you damage and the more damage you cause to your connection to your own life. To put it simply you were unraveling yourself from the sweater of life. This part is the saddest…” Sunset looked at her feet and went quiet.

“Sunset? What is it?” Wallflower prodded. She could see that Sunset was having a hard time trying to tell her something.

“You hated me so much… and if the girls and I didn’t blast the memory stone… If, if you had succeeded in having my friend and my memories erased then you would have completely unraveled.”

Wallflower tried to process what she was told, her emotions were quickly tangled in ways that she could not explain. “What would have…” Wallflower did not want to ask but she did want to know.

“You would have become a living Ghost, never being remembered by the living, but not truly existing in the world of the living. Something that is less something that is…” Sunset didn't finish. As Wallflower pounced on the former bully, she delivered blow, after blow, after blow, not caring where they were landing

“You stupid horse Bitch!” Wallflower roared, still punching. Everything shattered and dissolved.

The scene changed again. She was back in the fantasy garden with herself.

“That's not what really happened.” Wallflower protested. Shooting the older Wallflower, with an incredulous look. “Sunset and I broke down together.”

“But a part of you wanted to do that, this is a realm of thought you know. Though I also know that a part of you wanted to do this…”

The scene changed yet again. She was back in the classroom, everything had been reset. “You would have become a living Ghost, never being remembered by the living, but not truly existing in the world of the living. Something that is less something that is…” Sunset didn't finish.

Wallflower charged and pushed the girl into the wall, she forced her mouth over Sunset’s before the girl could fight back, Wallflower grabbed Sunset’s, still covered breast. She squeezed and played with the girl's body. Wallflower was forcing Sunset to make out with her. "I've always wondered what it would be like to make out with you." Wallflower breathed.

The scene stopped abruptly. The younger Wallflower blushed and the older giggled.

“OK, so maybe that’s true but…” Wallflower started then hung her head. “I guess that’s true, but I think the hypnosis stuff…”

The older one nodded. “That seems reasonable, but you and I know that hypnosis doesn’t work if you don’t want it to. Then well, we both needed a good release, we haven’t masturbated in a good long while.” The younger blushed and gave her other self a smile. The older one continued to talk. “Listen, I know that everything seems hinky, but you wouldn’t be thinking about Blue’s deal if you didn’t actually want to at some level.’

`Our family was already pretty bad, I mean before the memory stone. Everything that we’ve gone through with our sister, our mom and dad. I mean it’s kind of like some sort of stuff out of a 90ds cartoon show, you know the one. I mean our parents are not as Toxic, Mom’s not a drunk and dad’s not a neanderthal. It’s just that our sister is so good, good at everything and it didn’t really help that we came so late in life. I mean the trip to Equestria land was my sister’s College graduation celebration. I mean even before the stone We felt like we weren’t there.”

“It’s just gotten worse since then.” Younger Wallflower added.

“Still, it’s not like it’s a bad offer…,” The older Wallflower seemed to struggle with her next words but after a few moments she countered. “Still you're not being made to do anything. It’s just… You sure you'll have something to work with. I mean future wise? I mean just because we take the deal doesn't mean we need to give up on our dream. I mean we can work on an entirely new garden and work with flower's we've never seen... and with them." Older Wallflower paused and looked over at the foals. "You know, on all kinds of flowers.” Leaving the unspoken words to hang in the air.

Wallflower couldn’t help but take in everything the garden and the foals. She quickly became serious. “You mean the fact that our application to The Aqua Vine Botanical Institute just seemed to disappear. Along with all my other applications too,” This made her look at her feet. “It doesn't help that I can’t get financial aid, I mean they expect parents to pay three fourths of their kids' college bills.”

Ahhh! Wallflower threw her head up and screamed.

“I know.” The Older Wallflower said.

“I mean, so they just assume that parents would and or can pitch in on a kid's education. I mean what if their parents are dirt bags or just… I mean seriously there is something seriously wrong with that, you know? I mean my sister had to do a lot of it herself because my parents couldn’t do it, they just didn’t have the funds!” The younger Wallflower raged.

“Hahah!” White Lily broke in. “Gotcha!”

“Yah, I’m going to get you!” Green Gables called back.

“Careful, you two!” Browny Sunday shouted after the two foals.

This caused the young Wallflower to fall silent and watched the younger ponies play in the garden. The younger Wallflower was mesmerized by the whole scene, it was simple and it was beautiful but Wallflower knew that… 1) It wasn’t real. 2) Nothing was ever that perfect.

“It may not be, but if you want all of this…” The older Wallflower motioned to the foals playing. “It can be. It can be yours if you want it to be?” The older Wallflower questioned.

“Can it really…?” The younger asked, wistfully.

“Of Course, Now this seems like it’s being a little hinky…, but you kind of got to. Well, it’s another ‘little’ Hypnotic ride. I know how that sounds, but think of it like just completing a process that's already underway. So what do you say?”

It was a long time before Wallflower dared to speak. “So what’s going to happen? I mean…”

“Oh, that’s simple, I'm just going to finish the spell that was started.” The older Wallflower added.

“I thought it was already finished?” The younger one questioned.

“Confused? Understandable, think of it like the Spell worked on your conscious mind. Yes, not really how it normally works, but as you know magic is different and this is just… Well, think of it as accepting this process. I know that we’ve mentioned that before.”

“So, a complete Brain Washing?” The younger Wallflower asked.

“I guess it is a type but…” The older Wallflower tried to explain.

“Well, I guess I already agreed, but is there any real difference? You know that never mind let's finish this."

“OK,” The older Wallflower cheered as she took off her star clasp and a chain slipped out from the back. “You remember the mantra?”

“I do,” Younger Wallflower nodded. ““I Breathe, I Listen, I Obey…I am a Maiden, I am Happy, I am Horny…” The Younger Wallflower reaffirmed repeating the mantra brought a feeling of calm and excitement.

“Wow OK,” The older Wallflower said with a blink and she started to swing the star clasp. “Now let’s start, just relax and watch the gentle sway of my pendent.” Her voice took on a more musical tone.

Watch the star as it sways,
To the Left, To the Right,

As it moves both left and right,
To the Left, To the Right,

A Dream you wish to keep,
To the Left, To the Right,

Let it become what’s true and right,
To the Left, To the Right,

There is no need to fight,
To the Left, To the Right,

Just watch the star sways,
To the Left, To the Right,

Be like a bride with her vail or a Mare with her tail,
To the Left, To the Right,

Keep the promise without fail,
To the Left, To the Right,

Watch the star as it sways,
To the Left, To the Right,

Now let your old life just fade away,
To the Left, To the Right,

Her older-self sang and Wallflower just kept following the Star sway.

Wallflower could not, correction, she would not, look away from the Swaying Star. She let the Swaying Star relaxed her into a blissful oblivion. Her olderself words poured into her empty mind. The mantra quickly boiled to the surface and slowly Wallflower started to chant again; “I Breathe, I Listen, I Obey…” then continued. “I am your Maiden, I am Happy, I am Horny…” The Mantra that had been ingrained in her mind was now being cemented into truth.

Wallflower smiled and continued to chant. “I Breathe, I Listen, I Obey…” then continued. “I am your Maiden, I am Happy, I am Horny… I am Blue’s Unicorn Maiden.”
