On a lovely day like this, Avery decided to eat lunch outside. Because it rained a lot recently, not much time can go outdoors without getting wet. Thus, he went out to feel the cozy wind and the less moist air. When walking down the street and having yet to decide what to eat, Avery notices a store he never saw before. “Since when is there a store here? I don’t recall anyone or anything talking about a new shop opening,” he said to himself. Avery was born around here and knew the people, the building here very well. Although he did leave when going to college; however, it’s been years since his graduation. Therefore, it’s impossible for he didn’t know anything about this store. He feels interested and curious about the shop so he decides to take a closer look. There are no signs or windows showing what this place sells, and with some doubt, Avery walks inside the store. It wasn’t a big store, and usually, a shop like this won’t have many goods, but he saw something he couldn’t believe. A Pinkie Pie plush, what he always wanted, sitting on the corner of the shelf. He has desired to have a Pinkie Pie plush for a long time; however, he couldn’t find any with good quality. Besides the plush, there is some candy, cookies, and other sweets as well. For some reason, a store selling the confection has a Pinkie Pie plush. But Avery doesn’t care about that. Because there is a Pinkie plush right in front of him; why should he worry about the plush being inside the sweets shop? Besides, when talking about Pinkie, sweets are always a topic that will bring on so no big deal. Avery walked toward the shelf with excitement, wanting to know how much it costs, and he knew it must be expensive. The way it looks is so realistic that it made him feel like it was the real Pinkie Pie standing right there. Suddenly, an old voice speaks out. “Stay where you are, and don’t go near that thing!” an old man walks toward him while yelling. After hearing what he said, Avery was a little puzzled. He thought to himself, ‘why can’t I walk close to it? I don’t know why, but for now, I kept my doubt and better responded to him.’ With that in mind, Avery asked, “Why can’t I walk close to it?” “I’m trying to protect you due to that thing being cursed!” the old man shouted back with an unpleasant tone. Apparently, this isn’t the first time that a similar scene happened. “Cursed? Don’t be kidding me! There is no such thing as cursing. Are you sure you are not drunk or something?” Avery jokes back. He never thought that someone would still believe something like magic or anything similar to it. Although he does love supernatural stories, and sometimes imagine having one of those things back when he was a kid. But he already is an adult and he believes in science more than magic; therefore, he only sees those things as entertainment story material. “I’m sure I’m not drunk at all! And I’m not kidding! That thing is cursed! I’ve seen a lot of people disappear after nearing it!” The old man says, and he looks super furious right now. “Then how did you put it there in the first place if everyone went close to it disappearing? I mean, come on! What you said doesn’t make sense.” Avery questions him back with logic. “That thing appears along with the shop. Back when I was still young, I loved to study all kinds of myths, and one day when I was d...!” Suddenly, the old man falls unconscious. It seems he has a sudden heart attack or something similar to that. Avery couldn’t tell, he is not a doctor after all, but it doesn’t matter now since the old man is passing out. Avery quickly ran toward him. “Are you ok? I will call the doctor! Don’t worry!” He said with restlessness. After checking the heartbeats and making sure that he is still alive, Avery took out his cell phone and called the ambulance. However, there is no signal. Avery thought a place like this would at least still have some wi-fi but nope~ which means he needs to leave the store to get a better signal. However, when Avery tries to open the door, it is locked from the outside. “Huh? How come the door is locked? I didn’t lock the door, and I’m sure he is not even close to the door. Also, did the builder not notice that they built the door invert?” Avery has no clue what’s going on and he tries opening it again several times, but it’s useless. The door is still shut tight. After a few minutes of trying, he heard the sound of water start dropping, and Avery knew that it’s raining again. The sound of the thunder is super loud, which is not very helpful for his situation. It only made him panic even more. Now let’s pause for a minute, shall we? You may be wondering why Avery didn’t go looking for a key? Let me explain in some situations when people are under a lot of pressure, it’s unlikely to come up with a solution. The harder you think about it, the more likely you will not think of anything. However, knowing is one thing; being able to overcome it is another thing. Of course, you can argue with me about that one but for now, let’s get back to the story. It’s been hours for him being locked down in this store and without any way to get out, plus the thunder keeps reverberating around. Slowly getting into Avery’s mind, because he is not a brave person at all. The whole situation just went out of control too quickly. Originally, he planned to eat lunch then go home. But now, he is trapped inside this dark place with no signal, an empty stomach, and a person that is very likely to die any second needed his aid. Suddenly, the Pinkie Pie plush pops into Avery’s mind, which should allow him to be less scary. But, he got a weird feeling that it is calling him, and it wants Avery to play with her, hug her, and talk to her? He knows it’s bizarre, but Avery couldn’t control himself. It’s like something or someone is trying to make him do things for them. Walking toward the shelf, every part of his brain cells tells him don’t do it, and this isn’t normal. But his body uncontrollably keeps walking toward it. It’s just like he got controlled by someone else. After a few minutes of slow walking, Avery arrived in front of the plush, and he didn’t disappear like the old man said. He felt slightly relieved and thought to himself. ‘Yeah, people disappear when going near it, which is just like how I thought it’s fake.’ ‘… Maybe I think too soon.’ When reached out his hand to take the plush, the moment he touched it, the plush started shining with a bright purple light, and a robotic voice suddenly spoke. “The sparkle of hope confirmed! Prepare to be transported!” “What the...!” Avery tries to speak but discovers that he no longer can’t move or talk. He froze at his current spot for some unknown reason. The robotic voice continued saying, “Checking the identity of hope...... Checking the current dimension code G1......52 Opening the world tunnel in progress... Five percent... Ten percent...” Avery is super terrified right now because the store around him starts to tear apart, and the giant rain makes all his body and clothing wet. Also, It says the dimension code Avery understands that parallel universes exist, but it doesn’t make any sense. Why him? Why not someone else? And what did it mean by the sparkle of hope? Lots of unanswered questions rampaging in his mind and needless to say, that old man is still on the ground unconsciously; however, there is nothing he can do besides watching. “Detecting a human life form needed for surgery and medical treatment. Calling the nearest ambulance.” ‘Well, at least, I don’t need to worry about him now; on the other hand, what should I do to get out of this situation anyway?’ Avery thought to himself. Although the news that the old man will be safe means one problem down, he is still in big trouble. “Tunnel fully opened, transport preparation complete! Transporting in three... Two... One...” *Zap!* Pain! That is all Avery can feel right now, and he slowly loses his consciousness. ‘Am I dying?’ This is Avery’s final thought before everything turns black. ***** *Meanwhile, at Canterlot Castle, Celestia’s offices.* Princess Celestia is looking at the documents on her table. And all of them are about the potential bearers of magic. Celestia is very anxious. It’s almost the thousandth year of Summer Sun Celebration, and she hasn’t found anypony capable of being the bearers of magic. The closest one she knows is Sunset Shimmer. However, Celestia can see from Sunset’s eyes that this pony had no intention of being kind at all. All she wants is power ever since she showed her that mirror, and her arrogance is what makes her not fit as a bearer. Though she still has time to help Sunset get back on track, whether she will agree to it or not is another issue. Suddenly, a strong wave of magic energy burst through and followed by a loud noise that sounded like somepony dropped a magic bomb. “What was that? I know it’s not Luna because I know what her magic feels like, and this magic is nothing like hers! It couldn’t be her! Not to mention, it’s way too powerful, it’s even more powerful than me.” Celestia says with worry in her mind. Celestia walks toward the window and tries to find where it happens. Looking around, she sees a lot of smoke coming out from the center of the Canterlot. “Oh, dear! Whatever that was, it must be a strong magic attacking spell. Should I check it out? Or let loyal guards take care of it? For me, the most important thing right now is focusing on Lulu’s return. But as a princess, I should put my subjects’ safety as the priority. What should I do?” Celestia is very struggling. After a few minutes of thinking, Celestia decided to put her subjects’ safety first and flew toward the area. In her flying, she can see a lot of residents running around in a panic making her believe she better fly there even faster. After arriving, Celestia saw a big hole there, which should be created by this magic eruption, when she tried to analyze it she saw Shining Armor run toward her. “Your highness, I have something important to report about the situation. Would you like to hear it?” Shining said with a bow. Celestia turns to look at Shining Armor and replies to him. “Yes, please.” “This abnormal magic was a flash of lightning that somehow appears in the city center and produces a big hole on the ground, as you can see here. By the way, we already contacted the Weather Factory asking if they have any idea about this event. They said the lightning they made with pegasus magic could not create such a big hole on the ground; therefore, it got to be unicorn magic.” Shining response. “Did any citizens get hurt?” Celestia asked with a face of concern. “Well, not exactly... We found a little filly in the center of the hole, which seemed to be struck by lightning. But amazingly, though the smoke caused by the lightning coming out of her body, she isn’t injured at all; somehow, her body is completely undamaged. She only has low blood sugar and a little starvation at this very moment.” Shining reply. “How could that happen? Did any of you talk to her asking about what she knows?” Celestia is surprised and asking with a very serious tone. “Sorry, your highness. When we arrived, the filly had already fallen unconscious and was transported to the hospital right away. But we found something interesting. The profile in the hospital has no record of the filly. It was like lightning and she appeared out of nowhere at the same time.” Shining answer. “I see... After the filly is awake, I would like to talk to her myself. Let me know when she wakes up and also give me a document about how much damage has been made.” Celestia said with some deep thought. “Understood!” After receiving the order, Shining sees Princess Cadance fly toward them. They look each other in the eye for a moment with a smile on their face; then Shining leaves to perform his duty as captain of the loyal guard. “So, when are you two going to have a foal in the future?” Celestia can help but tease Cadence a little bit. She knows how much they love each other, yet both are too scared to take that first step. “Auntie~!!” Cadance’s face blush like a red apple although she is the princess of love, she only got her horn and title a few weeks ago, and she still tries to adapt to her new life. “Ok, ok, I’m just kidding! Now, what brings you here, my niece? To help or to check the situation, I’m assuming?” Celestia asks while eyeing the scene with some thought in her mind. “Yes, I came here to ask about this. According to what I learned, a unicorn’s horn can sense the magic being cast. The stronger the magic or the user is, the easier it gets detected. I only started learning how to use magic a few weeks ago, but even I can feel that magic burst through. How strong was that spell, auntie? I’m curious! Plus, after seeing these destructions, I’m even more curious.” Cadence asks while eyeing the scene as well. “Cadence, I don’t know either. But I do know this caster is way more powerful than me.” Celestia answered while hoping nopony else overheard her words. The last thing she needs right now is to make citizens’ feelings even worse. “But, How?! Aren’t you the strongest magician of all Equestria?” Cadence asked in shock. She can’t believe what she heard. The pony, who she thought of knowing everything, doesn’t know what happened, and not to mention telling her that the caster is even stronger than her. “No, I’m not. I know somepony who is stronger than me, but that pony has been gone for a long time.” Celestia said, and a grieved feeling crossed both her heart and her face. “Who? Who’s magic is stronger than yours?” Now, Cadence really wants to know the caster, who is a mightier magician than Celestia. When Celestia is about to answer, a maid runs toward them, speaking in a hurry. “Sorry, your majesty, but I came here to inform Princess Cadance that her night lesson is about to begin, and we hope that she can get there on time.” “Thank you.” Celestia said to the maid, then spoke to Cadance, “It seems we have to leave this topic for another time. I think it’s time for you to take off, my niece. Learning is an important thing.” “I understand that, but I will get to the bottom of this afterward. See you later, auntie.” Cadence nods and follows the maid. After Cadence leaves, Celestia flies back to her office. On her way, many thoughts ran through her mind. Arriving at the office she sits down and stares back at the document on top of her desk. Cleaning her mind and listing the questions she had down in her mind. Could she be the one I have been waiting for for a long time? The bearers of magic and the hope of getting Lulu back on my side? She has a strong magic ability, that’s no doubt, but is she good or evil? Will she be willing to help me? Who is she, what happened to her, what did she know? I think all my questions will have answers after she wakes up. Right now, all I can do is wait. However, one thing I’m sure about is that the spell has the same feeling of mother’s magic. Though it’s very weak, I barely recognize it, it’s still too similar to mother’s magic. After a few minutes of planning Celestia stands up, staring outside again, but this time she isn’t staring at the city, but the moon instead, then she speaks to the moon. “I miss you so much, sister! I wish to play with you, hug you, and chat with you, not to mention seeing your face again. I’m sorry, sis! For not noticing your pain and loneliness.” Tears streaming down from her cheeks. ***** On the hill nearby, there is a white alicorn with a red mane and ink cutie mark watching and said, “That’s all I can do to help you, Tia. What will happen next is up to you, and I hope you and Lulu will forgive each other and rule together again as sisters! I’m sorry I couldn’t be there with you! I have my own problems that I need to deal with and have to face the consequences of my action. You are not the only one who misses her. I miss her too, both of you!” A drop of a tear rolling down from the white alicorn cheeks. Suddenly, a dark figure appears from the shadow and says to the white alicorn, “Time’s up! Please come with me right away.” The dark figure speaks with a cold tone. “I’m coming!” The white alicorn looks at the castle and the moon once more and walks toward the dark figure. With that, the white alicorn and the dark figure disappear in the flash of light. Go back to the place where they were supposed to be. Author's Note My first time writing and feel free to giving me suggestions. Chapter 1 Waking upThe sunlight shines through the window and brightens up the room while Avery wakes up dizzily, and he feels so hungry right now. Reaching out his hand, wanting to take the cellphone that he always put on the bedside table then go downstairs to get some breakfast, but couldn't find it. The only thing he touched was some kind of rock, and somehow he couldn't feel his fingers touching it. It's like he is touching with a fist; he wanted to open his hand but couldn't. He opened his eyes, looking around the room, it is so white, and there is a personal bathroom and a door that he assumes connects to the corridor. It seems to be a hospital room, he thinks. Then, he started to remember he was struck by some kind of lighting. Maybe that's why he is here and couldn't feel his finger at all. He looked down, wanting to understand how bad his injury is, and he couldn't believe what he saw. It was a purple hoof though the rest of the body it's still under the sheet. Avery could imagine the rest of his body definitely changing as well, and he just stared at it, too shocked to say or do anything. Now! Without a doubt, he is fully awake. Not knowing how many times had passed, he heard a doorknock, looking toward the door, and saw a brown pony with a stethoscope who seemed like a doctor. "Oh! You wake up. Great! And are you feeling ok there, young filly?" The doctor said. "Depends on how you define it since I'm physically ok, but mentally not," Avery responded and tried to be calm. He doesn't know how to feel about the situation and he thought to himself. ‘ I'm becoming a filly; I mean, it's not bad, I guess since I always want to be a woman, not a man, but the fact of turning into a pony isn't what I expected. Don't get me wrong, I love ponies but becoming one and loving one are two different things, and for some reason, I feel I had heard this body's voice before, but only mine is higher. ’ "That's an interesting answer... Could you tell me why you think you mentally hurt?" The doctor said with both curiosity and concerns on his face. "Uh... I... I." Avery doesn't know what to say, and he doesn't think he could just tell them about the show since they won't believe it; not to mention he doesn't know why he is here in the first place. All sorts of possibilities flow through Avery’s mind. ‘ Is this world the same as the show? Did I accidentally possess somepony's body? Or am I still in the human world just having some illusion, ’ on and on non-stopped. The doctor saw Avery couldn't tell him anything and panicked like one filly would behave if they got stricken by the lighting, which made him believe that Avery was just an innocent filly who tried to cover the PTSD from the lightning strike. Thus, it's better to leave Avery some space to calm down. Not only it's better for his recovery but also because the princess will come soon, and it would definitely be like adding oils on the fire. Not good for a kid's mind. Therefore, he speaks to Avery with a smile, "Why don't I get you some breakfast; I'm sure you are starving, am I right? And we could talk during breakfast, what do you say?" "Sure... it will... It will be great!" Avery responded. He really needed some time to be alone, checking what he looked like and what to do next. "Ok, one more question before I leave, are you allergic to anything?" the doctor says. "No, I don't think so," Avery answered. To be honest, he doesn't know if this body is allergic to anything at all. Well, he thinks that's another problem he needs to look into too. "All right, I will be right back." With that, the doctor leaves and leaves Avery alone once again in the room. Avery tries to take off the sheet with his front hooves; it's not easy at first, but he is getting the hang of this, and it reminds him of the siphon. ‘ Well, look on the bright side, at least I know how hooves work now, and siphon, it's a fascinating subject. Though I didn't study it much, I still know the basics of siphon. Once you know how it functions, it's actually getting easier. ’ He took off the sheet seeing the rest of his body; it's still purple along with two back hooves like he presumes. ‘ Next thing, check my flank...? And this line one hundred percent going to the I never thought I would say this section. ’ There is no cutie mark on his butt, and now the only thing he hasn't checked yet is his face. ‘ If I remember correctly, there is a bathroom room, which I assume will have a mirror inside. ’ Therefore, it is time for Avery to learn how to walk with four legs, or should I say four hooves? Step one, get off the bed, easy. Step two, try to stand still without falling, almost fall but he did it. Step three, walking forward. ‘ Oh boy, this is going to be a pain in the ass. All right, first, both right-back left-front hoof walk forward, good...! Next, right-front left-back forward, great...! I feel like I'm walking like a robot, but it doesn't matter; I'm slowly making progress, and suddenly I think of how I run with these hooves? I will leave this problem for another time right now; all I need to do is focus on walking. Ok, keep going right-back left-front then right-front left-back. Normal walking it's not that hard; the real problem is walking downstairs and running will be the hardest thing to do. ’ Slowly making his way toward the bathroom, he opened the door. ‘ Thank you! The knowledge of siphon so that I have no problem opening it! And now, the mirror, I am coming for you! ’ "......! You gotta be kidding me...! No way! There is no way I'm her...!" The reflection shows a filly Twilight with the look of twilighting, and she seems even younger than the Twilight that they present in S1 EP23, The Cutie Mark Chronicles. Avery doesn't know how to feel the fact that he became Twilight. ‘ I'm not as great as her, and the fact she is this young means even if I did find a way to bring the original Twilight back, she would be just a little filly around 4 or 5 (he couldn't tell how old she is from the mirror). Because I know it will take me years to find a way to bring her back here. While this body will already be around 18 years old or so. OH MY GOD, WHAT SHOULD I DO!!!! ’ Suddenly, a door knock brings him out of his thought train. "I brought breakfast." the doctor says. And Avery responded quickly, "I'm in the little filly's room; could you leave the breakfast on the table then leave while I'm taking care of... my things." He doesn’t want to let anypony see his current status. "Oh! Sorry for interrupting you! Well, I have other things I need to take care of. I will come back later." The doctor put down the breakfast and left. ‘ Ok? I thought that he would be asking me some questions while I am eating my breakfast. ’ "Weird," he says to himself, trying to adjust himself to get used to his Twilight voice. The voice that Avery heard for so long from someone else is now making by himself. And he trying so hard not to say dumb stuff with Twilight's voice. The inner demon wants him to speak out loud because it will be funny to hear Twilight saying these kinds of words like that. He thinks it's because he is too nervous about this situation; therefore, his subconscious tries to make him tranquilize, and his mind is a complete mess up. Suddenly, the hunger sound of his stomach brought him back to reality. Shaking his head, getting rid of every thought he currently has and closing his eyes then deep breathing. ‘ Ok, I think I will be fine, more or less. Now, first thing first, eating breakfast, and if the doctor comes back, I need to get myself ready for the question that he might ask me; if not, I need to gather some information about this world's Twilight and her family. Yeah, that should work, I hope. ’ Taking another deep breath, “*sigh* there goes nothing, I guess,” and he walked out of the bathroom. Once he was outside the bathroom, he saw a sandwich and a glass of mike on the table. The sandwich was stuffed with flowers, eggs, and hay. Slowly making his way toward the table, he thought to himself. ‘ I wonder what it tastes like, and I'm really getting a hang of walking, which is an excellent thing; the less I draw attention, the less trouble I will get myself into. ’ Arriving at the table, Avery reached out his hoof to take the sandwich. ‘ It's so freaking weird to not have any fingers at all. ’ It definitely will take him quite a while to get used to it. He takes a bite at the sandwich, and it's pretty good; probably because he is a pony now, it's not as bad as he thought it would be. Avery took a few minutes to finish the sandwich and mike. “Ok, that's a great meal; not as good as the meal my mom made, but I can't complain,” he says. ‘ Now, the doctor hasn't come back; therefore, I go with my other plan, gathering the information about this world's Twilight. ’ Suddenly, he noticed a bizarre thing; why were Twilight's parents and Shining Armor not here by Twilight's bedside. According to what he knows, they care about Twilight a lot, and they should be here in no time once he wakes up, but they aren't. ‘ I wonder what's the difference between the show and this world. ’ At this moment, there are thousands of questions and possibilities crossing through his head. A few minutes passed then the knock on the door brought him back to reality once again; he thought to himself, ‘ I really need to stop overthinking stuff. ’ Later, the doctor's voice came from the other side of the door. "I want to know, have you finished your breakfast yet? Can I come in and ask you some questions?" ‘ He sounds very apprehensive about my situation; I'm wondering why. ’ "Yes, I finished it. You can come in asking some questions if you want to." Avery replied; meanwhile, conceived in mind on how to answer while trying to make it draw the least suspect the best. And he went back to bed sitting there. The doctor opens the door, but he doesn't come in. ‘ That's a little bit strange, ’ he thought to himself. He says, "I only have two questions to ask you, but I want you to know that Princess Celestia will come visiting you in less than twenty minutes; I hope you won't be panicking too much. And don't worry, you are not in any trouble at all; Princess Celestia only comes here to talk. Are you still ok?" "Yeah... I'm good. Just wondering why did the princess want to talk to me?" he answered, and all the plans and confidence shattered in just a second. ‘ Well, I guess I have to see what the Sun Butt has in store for me. Oh Jesus! Or should I say, oh sweet Celestia now? ’ "That question maybe it's best to let the princess herself answer. Anyway, my first question is could you tell me your name?" The doctor says. "You don't know my name? I thought doctors would always know their patient's name." He asked him back confusingly. This info has brought up a whole new level of questions that needed to be answered. The doctor doesn't know his name, meaning he is the actual Twilight in this world since Twilight didn't exist before he came. ‘ I need more information to make sure my theory is correct or not. If my speculation is correct, then this means Equestria's destiny is falling into my hands. Uh..., hooves, in fact. Oh god! I pray that my guess is wrong because I won't be as good as Twilight from the show. And needless to say, I already know the future event that might happen, which could lead to tons of butterfly effects, and that will not be good. I don't think I could make the future better, it's more likely I will make it even worse. ’ "Well, young filly, let me tell you one thing, not everypony will know everything, even the doctor, and trust me, you will understand it once you got older; thus, could you tell me your name?" The doctor said, and it seems Avery’s weird question doesn't bother him. Perhaps it's because his youthful appearance makes him think that is just kids being kids. However, that's not the point right now. The more important question is how should he answer? His real name or Twilight's name? If he answers his real name, he can be free without worrying he might do something wrong that will let the name Twilight get ruined; however, it will draw too much attention for its weirdness and not being ponylike. But if he answers Twilight's name, it won't cause much trouble; however, it also means he is using a name, which doesn't belong to him, and he might ruin the reputation of the name Twilight, which is something he doesn't want to happen. ‘ To me, it's like a promise that you choose who you want to be, and every name has its own unique promises. Plus, it's hard to build fame; but easy to create infamously. ’ In Avery’s head, it's like ten minutes had passed, but in reality, only one second had passed. (This definitely because The Stand The World doing ZA WARUDO)(JK) At last, he made my decision, and told him, "My name is Twilight Sparkle." "Twilight Sparkle. That's a good name." Then the doctor writes down the name on his medical record. "My second question, do you have any family members?" After writing it down, he asked Avery the second question right away. "Family members?" And this time, Avery really doesn't know how to answer; he can't tell him about his family who lives back on earth, but what other choice does he have? "The ponies who live together with you. Could you tell me who you live with?" the doctor says, assuming Avery doesn't know what the words mean. "I know the word family members mean! It's just that I..., uh." He says and still doesn't know how to answer; Avery basically likes a broken record that keeps saying, uh, mmm, well. Not to mention, it's impossible for him to see his family and friends back on earth again and his words filled with sadness for thinking of that. The doctor sees Avery having difficulty saying what family members do he have, making him think that he is actually an orphan and doesn't want to talk about this topic, so he speaks to Avery. "It seems I brought up some sensitive topic that you don't want to talk about, and I apologize for reminding you of bad things; is this why you say you mentally hurt?" Avery replied to him, "I don't want to talk about it." Then he looked down at his now Twilight body, feeling uneasy that everything just happened so fast that he can hardly handle it. And he started sobbing a little bit. Seeing Avery crying, he says, "Do you want me to give you some space alone, or do you want somepony to accompany you?" "I... would like to... be alone for... a while... please," Avery said while trying to control his breath from sobbing. "All right then, I'll just let you be." The doctor said and left. Once again, only Avery is inside the room, and to be fair, he doesn't blame the doctor for reminding him what he had lost, but rather because of all the responsibility he had to carry in the future and the doubt that he will be able to succeed has crushed him. He knows everything has to end one day, and life isn't fair; plus, fate is unpredictable; therefore, he takes loss facilely but not responsibility. He always places work before everything else and always wants to do it perfectly. He would give up eating, sleeping, and playing to finish what he must do. The feeling of not being able to do things right is the main reason why he cried. ‘but only for today. Because there is a lot of responsibility in the future, and I had no time to tear up. I had to do it! I HAD TO!’ ****** *A few minutes ago, at the Day/Sun Court* The nobles are arguing with one another, accusing one another of causing lighting; the filly they found in the hole is definitely their helper and demanding some punishment. Basically, it is a total mass. Celestia had gone through this kind of scenario like a million times already. If she can say one thing she saw the most in her thousand-year lifetime is selfish noble ponies doing dumb stuff in every period, and it's annoying her a lot. And today, it should be just like the same old-day Celestia watching these nobles acting like a child, but today something is different; instead of listening to what the nobles say, she's been thinking about the mysterious filly in her mind nonstop. Celestia's been thinking about how the filly could change Equestria if she is kind and good; how many things she wants to teach the filly if she is willing to help. But, at the same time, she is also thinking how bad it could be if she is evil; though it's unlikely for a little filly like her to be evil, you never know, it's better safe than sorry. Unexpectedly, a knock on the door draws everypony's attention; a royal guard opens the door. "Get out of here; we are taking care of some business, don't interrupt us!" One of the nobles says follow by, "Yeah!", "Who do you think you are to interrupt our meeting with the princess!" "That's something I can agree to!" The speech goes on and on, but the guard ignores them and steps in front of the princess. With a bow, he says, "Your majesty, I'm here to inform you that the filly in the hospital is awake. And the doctor will ask her some basic information to fill her medical record." "Thank you, could you tell them I'll be there in about twenty minutes?" Celestia says with some joy while trying to hide her excitement. "Understood, your majesty." With another bow, the guard left. After the guard left, Celestia spoke to the nobles, "It seems we have to cut this meeting short, and I will hold another meeting tomorrow after I know what the filly knows." "Your highness, I must protest! She's just a filly; her words aren't worthwhile! I suggest we continue the meeting." One of them says, "Oh? Why did you don't want your highness to hear her words? It's because she will expose you, isn't it!" Another one talks back. "Lair! I think you ARE the one who works with her and tells her to tell your highness false information so that you can get away!" one shouted back. "You DARE TO SAY THAT, YOU XXXXXX!" Another yells back as well. Thus, the fight begins once again, but unlike the other time. This time Celestia doesn't have the patience to deal with them; all she wants to do now is get to the filly seeing how much she is capable of, then obtain the hope of saving Luna; she has no time for this. Hence Celestia hit the table with her hoof making a loud sound drawing everypony's attention. "I had made up my mind; therefore, keeping fighting won't help solve the problem. I will talk to the filly; then we can have another meeting tomorrow, and I know some of your properties got damaged by the lighting, but that's not an excuse to accuse one another without any evidence. I hope we dismiss this meeting peacefully and leave the rest of the discussion tomorrow. Is everypony agree?" Despite having a smile on her face, you can still feel the anger and fire burning in Celestia's eyes. "Sure... agree!" One by one, the nobles left the meeting room. When the last pony left, Celestia got up from her seat, thinking inside her mind that the nobles were getting more and more ridiculous, and started making her way to the hospital. On her way to the hospital, inside Celestia's mind is nothing but Luna and her past. She wishes Luna could be back sooner so that there is somepony who is not scared of her that she can talk to, and she can let all her worry and fear go in Luna's hug. She doesn't want to be a princess; she wants to be herself, even for only a short amount of time. Celestia is tired, a thousand years of loneliness, ponies come and go, and nopony who she can open her heart to and not even her students. She wants things to change because Celestia knows at this rate, one day, she will be losing her mind and destroy the very thing she wants to protect, Equestria. "Please! Mother, wherever you are right now, help me and lead me with your strength!" Celestia prayed. ***** Arriving at the hospital door; the doctor comes to Celestia and says, "Your highness, the filly is in Room 206, and I had informed her about your visit." "Thank you, doctor, and I heard you had asked her about some basic information for her record. Might you tell me some of them?" Celestia replied. "Of course, your highness, her name is Twilight Sparkle, and when I asked her about her family, she got sad with no reply and made me believe that she is an orphan, and maybe that's why we don't have any of her medical records." The doctor answers back with happiness that he helped the princess. Celestia was stunned the moment she heard the filly's name and asked again, to make sure she hadn't heard things, "Did you just say that her name is Twilight Sparkle?" "Uh, yes, your highness, that's what she said. Is...something wrong?" The doctor puzzled. A lot of past memories flash through Celestia's head, and she replies, "No! Nothing is wrong! In fact, it's even better!" Can't hide her happiness, Celestia walks toward the room right away without any explanation. Don't worry about it; ponies will love your night as well, Lulu. I doubt that! Everypony hates my night! Mom, you are the only pony who loves me! Did you really have to go? Yes, I had to because it's my duty. I don't want you to leave! Nopony else will understand me! Luna, you will find a pony who understands you and loves your night like me as well one day. Nopony will...They always talk about sunrise, sunset but never say moonrise or moonset..., I will never find one! Tia loves you, Lulu. ...... Luna, what mother says is right; I do love you. But ponies don't!!! Luna..., please I...! You two! There are some important things I think I should say before I leave. Both day and night are significant. Though the ponies don't realize it, I know that you can't have one without the other, and they are not that much of a difference than you imagine it will be. What's the point? They won't love my night just because of that. Please, let me finish my words. Sorry. Remember, there is a moment in time called twilight. Twilight is both days and nights, and the sparkle inside will let ponies understand how mattering the nights were like the days were; therefore, be patient, Luna. The twilight sparkle will let everypony know how both days and nights are essential to one another. I love both of you, my little moon princess and my little sun princess. We love you too, mom! Celestia is now in front of the door of room 206, and she took a deep breath, saying to herself, "Thank you, mother!" Now, the moment of truth! Is this pony the one that mother is talking about or not, and with nervousness in her heart, she opens the door. Author's Note It seems sad so far, but in future chapters, it will be getting weirder and funnier, trust me. Chapter 2 A Promise Between Sun and StarAvery lay on the bed, and his tears are already dried, thinking about when Celestia will come. He has calmed down a little bit, but he doesn't know how long it will last, and he could be bursting into tears at any second. "You have made your choice, and you need to be strong, no more tears, accept the responsibility. You can do this; you just have to believe in yourself, and you got this! Don't worry about it!" Avery closed his eyes and said to himself, trying to imagine that the actual Twilight is telling him these words. Now, he has completely calmed down, he can begin to think what his next step will be, but since Celestia has yet to come and he doesn't think he has anything else he can do besides waiting for her, he is just staring outside the window for some pretty view. Outside the window is the street of Canterlot, and it's more beautiful than he can imagine. He can't wait to see it even closer and It will be absolutely fantastic. "It's gorgeous! I believe it will be even better if I see this view from the nighttime." He said and didn't realize that he spoke it out loud. "I believe if you see it from my castle balcony it will be even more enjoyable." A soft, also familiar voice suddenly says, and Avery knows who is speaking right away. He turned around and saw her standing in front of the door with a big smile. She seems glad to see him, in fact, a little bit too happy, and Avery is not sure why but a strange feeling comes across his heart. "Oh, hi princess, I didn't know you were here already, I'm sorry," Avery says and thinking to himself. ‘Dear God, she is enormous; comparing my size to her size, it's totally a different type of world level.’ "*Giggle* There is no need to apologize. Now, little one, I heard from the doctor you said that your name is Twilight Sparkle, correct?" Celestia walks inside the room, sitting right beside Avery’s bedside and the joy on her face is indescribable. "Uh... yes, your highness! My name is Twilight Sparkle...! Uh, princess, if you don't mind, can you tell me why you wanted to ask me some questions?" Avery said, then he realized something, he began to behave more like the real Twilight, and he didn't know why and how. Is this body changing him, or did he unintentionally start acting? Avery loves doing a play, but he easily forgets the script is the main reason why he gave up on this road. Because in science, he can review the chemical material over and over again, while in the play, he can't. "Did you know anything about a strange lightning bolt that struck the center of the city? You were found there, right in the middle of the hole it created, and that's why I want to ask you." Celestia says. For some reason, Avery has a feeling it's more than just that, but he has no information and blindly guessing it's not good; therefore, he'll leave that feeling aside, answering the question that she asked first. "I don't know the lightning you mention, wait! Hold on a second! Are you saying that I got stricken by the lightning, which could create a massive hole in the ground and somehow still survive? If that's the truth, then I don't know what else to say; even I can't believe it, but here I am talking to you. For Lauren's sake, how's that even possible!" Avery complained, looking down at his hoof didn't realize the shock, also happy emotion on Celestia's face as some drops of tears rolling down from her cheeks. While Celestia is still recovering from her state, Avery simply thinks about why and how this happened. And all of a sudden, he noticed that he didn't know anything about magic. He doesn't know how it works, what it is capable of, how many spells there are, and he doesn't even know how to cast one, which means how could he figure it out with almost zero knowledge he has. With that in mind, Avery asks Celestia, "Princess, is there a book that can teach me about magic; I kinda want to study about magic so that I can understand about this lightning bolt that hit me." There is no response...! Thus Avery looked up and saw the tear of joy on Celestia's face, and he froze for a second due to seeing how overwhelmed she was by happiness. "Uh... princess, are you all right? Why are you weeping?" Avery asks in confusion. ‘Did I break her, or did something else happened? I'm so confused right now.’ The next second, before Avery can understand what happened, Celestia stands up, hugging him tightly, and spins in circles yelling, "Yes! YES! YES! I finally found you; I had never been this happy before! This is the new dawn of Equestria! Oh, wait! I should say a new twilight for Equestria instead! But who cares, I at last found you!" "Need... air... princess...!" Avery tries to squeeze out a few words from Celestia's tight hug. "Oops! I'm so sorry, my little pony. It's just that I'm too happy to see you. I'd been waiting for this moment for hundreds of years." Celestia loses her hug and puts Avery back on the bed with a sheepish face while Avery tries to breathe in as much air as possible. "Waiting... for... me...? What..., what are you talking about?" Avery asked while still trying to catch his breath from Celestia's strong hug. "You just said the name Lauren, didn't you?" Celestia says with a big smile on her face. "Uh, yeah! But what did it have to do with the question that I asked you?" Avery speaks with confusion. "Nopony knows that name for at least a thousand years, which implies that you are sent here by her to help me, aren't you? Otherwise, how can you explain why you know that name?" Celestia replies and Avery can see the sparkle in her eyes which are filled with hope and brightness. "I can't tell you how or why I know the name, Lauren, but what I can tell you is that I wasn't sent by her," Avery answered while hoping that she won't find it weird because considering he can't tell her about the show or anything that relates to it. Celestia seems to a tiny bit disbelieve his word, but she didn't question it further; instead, she asks Avery, "The doctor said that you didn't answer him anything when he is asking you about your family. Do you mind telling me what's wrong so that I can help you?" *Silence...* Avery didn't say anything, and he didn't plan to either. He just sat there and turned his head away from Celestia. Seeing Avery not saying anything, even turning his head away, Celestia says, "I'll take that as a no. That's fine if you don't want to talk about it, but if one day you want somepony to talk about it, can I be that pony? Also, Twilight, if you keep all the pain and sadness to yourself, it won't be healthy. Just remember, when you need help, you can call me." That motherly tone nearly made Avery want to tell her everything, but he can't; it's not only for his own good but also for the future of Equestria. The more pony knows about it, the greater the snowball gets, and he won't let that happen to his beloved Equestria. NEVER! At the same time, he realizes this will be his opportunity to become Celestia's student in order to keep the future of Equestria on the path where it should be. But if he becomes her student now, which means he won't connect to the Sonic Rainboom event, then again OG Twilight was shocked by the Rainboom so that she lost her magic control; however, he already knows the Rainboom is coming that been say he won't be surprised by it. Thus, he thinks he better tell her that he wants to become her student right now; otherwise, he doesn't think he had another chance like this. ‘Here goes nothing.’ "Princess!" Avery says with determination. "Yes, Twilight, what's wrong?" She seems surprised that Avery spoke to her again this soon after asking him about his family. "I want to become your student!" Avery says it loudly, hoping she won't deny his request. "Oh? Why do you want to become my student?" She seemed happy that Avery said that, probably because she thought she had to convince him to become her student. "I want to study about that lightning bolt, and I want to help you!" Avery speaks firmly. "I understand you want to study the lightning bolt, but I don't understand why you said you want to help me. Twilight, would you kindly explain to me why you think I need help?" Celestia's feelings are complex right now. Yes, indeed, she needs help, but she doesn't understand how the little filly will notice something this small since she barely shows any sign of that. "Your eyes, they tell me everything. You are scared and want to be saved. I may not be a great magician, but I want to be there for you. You are alone, and that loneliness is driving you crazy, isn't it?" Avery tells her while hoping that she won't know everything he says about her eyes is a half-lie since you can lie about your words and your expression easily but not eyes which is the best way to convince her that he saw those in her eyes. And to be honest, Avery doesn't know if what he said is true or not. He just assumed Luna hasn't come back for him AKA now Twilight being this young which means Celestia wants to bring her back so badly, that she will do anything to turn her little sister back to normal. "I... How...?" Celestia is speechless and doesn't know what else to say. Seeing her inarticulate, Avery decides to go even further and tell her. "You lost your family, didn't you? I had seen those eyes before..., I saw them in the mirror, on my reflection. It's oblivious that you have been through this longer than me, and you have hidden those feelings very well; however, no matter how great you are at lying to ponies, even yourself, the eyes can't lie. Maybe because you are a princess, you hide that emotion too well. I didn't discover it at first, but as time goes by, I slowly see it and your eyes and my eyes having a soul talk. At that moment, I know, we both need each other to heal." After Avery finished his words, Celestia cried. She put a sound barrier around the room, or at least, Avery thinks she did. Otherwise, why would no guard come in if they can hear the princess crying? Then she uses a spell to make her about Avery’s body size and starts hugging him and thanking Avery at the same time because she doesn't want to repeat the hug event earlier once again. Despite her tears all over Avery’s body, which feels uncomfortable, he'll just let her be, cause right now, at this moment, she is not the sun princess nor Celestia. She's just Tia, a broken mare that needed to heal so badly. "It's ok, Tia! We can overcome this! I promise you that I will never leave your side no matter what happens; I will respect your decision, while I hope you can do the same for me as well. I will be inside your heart even when I am not physically with you!" Avery says, hugging her even tighter. Tia, I promise you that I will never leave your side no matter what happens. I will be inside your heart even when I am not physically with you! This is the second time Celestia has a flashback, which made her believe the little filly in front of her isn't some ordinary kid, but rather a gift, a present that her mother sent, and she promised her mother she won't waste this gift. "You know, as a princess, I shouldn't cry, but I can't control myself, and I am glad to be your teacher. Thank you, Twilight!" Celestia says with a big grin. "It's nothing! Just do what I can do, that's all!" Avery responded with a big grin as well. Celestia changes back to her original size and removes the sound barrier, then says to me, "I should leave since I have a lot of duties I have to do, and by the way, after I leave the doctor will take you to do a magic and body check. I hope you won't mind." When she comes to the door Avery comes by her side and says. "Don't worry about it! Let's all work together to heal each other while trying to save L-U-N-A!" While doing a wink when speaking about Luna. "How did you...?" Before Celestia can finish her words, Avery quickly interrupts her and says, "Bye! See you later!" Then push Celestia out of the room right away. ‘Mother, what an interesting filly you gave me!’ Celestia thinks and leaves the room. Author's Note Trying my best to write a chapter a week. Chapter 3 Side EffectAfter making Celestia leave, Avery lay back on the bed thinking about what he just did. Avery wants to help, but the question "telling Celestia those and giving her hope only ends up nothingness" keeps bothering his mind since no one knows how the future will go, and his knowledge will be the main reason changing the future holds for all ponykind. "Did I make the right choice?" Avery questioned himself. He had a feeling he had told her something she shouldn't acknowledge. "Twilight. The doctor is ready to start your magic and body check; would you come with me." A grey fur pony nurse opens the door say. "Ok! I'm coming!" Without hesitation, Avery got out of bed and followed the nurse right away. Walking through the corridor, Avery didn't see any other patients, even rooms, which made him wonder if Celestia put him in a lab rather than a hospital or if this place was supposed to be VIP only. So many possibilities appear inside his mind, but the nurse's words brought him back to reality. "We're here. The doctor is waiting inside the room. Also, there is nothing to worry about the check. It's easy, and we're not going to make you do anything scary. You will be fine!" The nurse says with a soft tone, probably because she sees Avery’s nervous face. Taking a deep breath, Avery walks into the room. The examination is pretty basic: weight, height, physical reaction, etc. Nothing special, but the last two are the most attractive and significant, magic potential power and magic resistance. Avery doesn't care about magic resistance, but the other one's magic potential power makes him dread cause if his potential power is weak, then he can't fulfill Twilight's duties, which will be a disaster for the world's fate. The doctor puts a device on Avery’s horn, and he feels a warm energy washing through his head, which for the first time, he feels the magic within him is activating. Quite frankly, it's kind of weird but marvelous at the same time for Avery. Unfortunately, that wonderful feeling didn't last long because the doctor's face looks blue, making Avery worry. "Is something wrong?" Avery asked while hoping it wouldn't be much of a bigger deal. "I've got good news and bad news. The good news is that you have unbelievably strong magic resistance, and in fact, the strongest I've ever seen. And the bad news is... Well." The doctor draws off in the middle of his word. "It's ok! You can tell me I think I can handle whatever the bad news is." Avery says, try to be calm, but his heart is already beating so fast that he doesn't even know if he will be able to deal with it or not. "Magic resistance makes the magic from outside hard to get in, which means the magic you cast, aka inside, hard to get out as well. For normal ponies, the magic resistance is so weak that they can just ignore it, but your resistance is too strong and making you may not be able to cast a powerful spell even the basic one could be hard for you to cast." The doctor says, and all of his worries are written all over his face. After hearing what he said, Avery’s mind froze up, trying to organize what he said. ‘Did he seriously mean it, or is there something else going on?’ And all the worry and anxiety broke him. Seeing Avery’s reaction, the doctor walks toward him and speaks to him, "Do you need a hug or something else like ice cream?" He is very concerned since Avery has been standing there, not doing anything for two minutes. "Uh...! Sure...! I would like to have some ice cream. Thank you!" Avery responds to him while still recovering from the fact he just told him. "All the checking is finished, you can head back to your room, taking a rest, and I will be there with ice cream in about ten minutes. Is that ok with you, or do you need anything else?" The doctor says, and obviously, he feels guilty for telling Avery these. "Mmm...? Oh, uh...? I think that will be enough, no need to give me anything else. Uh...? I better head back to my room. Thank you." With that, Avery went back to his room. Although he trips all over his hoof a lot of time when heading back since he is still practicing walking, the doctor just assumes that Avery is too shocked to walk correctly. Back in the room, Avery sits on the chair and thinks about his next step. ‘Well, everything went wrong; I feel like an idiot for worrying this much stuff, and not just here back in the human world as well. Maybe I should be like Pinkie Pie and stop overthinking every little thing.’ Avery envies Pinkie for her naivety, and he always wants to be like her, but he always thinks it's inappropriate. All of sudden, he thought to himself. ‘You know what! Fuck everything; I'm using Pinkie Pie style to solve every task ahead of me! Throw away all the plans I had for the future. Now! From this moment, my only goal is to give everypony hope and a smile.’ All the things that happened at once had crushed Avery’s soul and started making him into a madman, which maybe could be a good thing? ***** The lights (hope) that are born inside the darkness (despair) will be the brightest light you have ever seen, vice versa, and balance is the most important thing of all. A black unicorn walks inside the room where these words are written on the sign, and he speaks to the white alicorn who is sitting inside the room. "Do you think that is a good idea? If we were not careful enough, instead of being a hope he..., she will be the end of the world." "Only time will tell, but I can tell you I do not regret my choice. Even with what I had cost..." The alicorn responds. "..." There is no response, both of them start looking at each other without a word. They know what they have done, but there is no time for them to regret what they did. Suddenly a black figure appears from the shadow, "I'm sorry, but don't we have more important things to do than caring about them, am I right? We had done what we could; there is no point in worrying. Back to your work!" "Yes, sir!" Both ponies said with an unpleasant tone, but they know this is for the best then back to their working position. After the unicorn left, the shadow figure says, "By the way, Lauren, it seems your spell cost some side effect." "You gotta be kidding me! How!? Tell me you are joking! Misty, you try fooling me, right?" Lauren responded back with nervousness and shock. "Unfortunately, I'm not. And you know I don't do jokes." Misty's reply was expressionless. "I'm going to help them!" Lauren said, standing up and trying to leave, but Misty stopped her. "You interfere enough already, and you know the rule. Now, get back to your documents and start working." Misty says while staring Lauren in the eye. "But! They are my daughters, my subjects!" Lauren said, and you can feel the powerlessness and sadness in her voice. "Listen! I had given you lots of rights that often others don't and let you transport people to Equestria to help them out. Plus, we agreed this would be the last time you meddle in that world, didn't we?" Misty said with an austere tone. "Fine! At least tell me what the side effects are!" Lauren says unhappily. "First, her body slowly becomes anti-magic, won't fully turn anti but pretty close already. Second, her intelligence went down, but because she was a scientist, which only makes her back to the same level as normal people. Third, her soul isn't stable, and I guess it would take at least nine to ten years to stabilize. Lastly, her words are now having the effect of hypnosis, others will believe what she says more easily without realizing it, and it's slowly growing stronger." Misty finishes her words waiting for Lauren to tell her what she thinks. "Oh my god!" Lauren doesn't know what else to say; she stuns like a statue. "Darling, I know you love them, and I do too. However, if you intervene too much, they won't learn a thing; thus, please! Let them be." Misty hugs Lauren trying to make her calm. "You are right; I should let go a long time ago," Lauren says with tears in her eyes. The two ponies were just standing there hugging and finally settled to let them go. Author's Note DUN~ DUN~ dun~ It really isn't that big of a surprise. Anyway, goodbye for now. Chapter 4 Sunset's VisitPrincess Celestia went back to her office, preparing the lessons that she decided to teach Twilight. She's filled with hope and excitement, and from the bottom of her heart, she thinks this is one of the best days in her life. Halfway through her preparation, she heard a door knock and a voice call out from the other side of the door. "Princess! Are you in there? I had something that I wanted to ask you. Can I come in?" Turns out it was Sunset's Shimmer calling her, and Celestia responded to her, "Of course, please come on in Sunset, it's been a long time since last time you visited me, and I've been missing you for quite a while. Anyway, what's on your mind?" Ever since the mirror event, Sunset has been acting like a stranger toward her, and she feels sad about that, but right now, it doesn't matter cause she comes to talk to her, which means this is her chance to repair their relationship. "That spell from yesterday, what the hay was that? I've never seen anything like it, and I won't accept the answer, "I'm not ready to learn about it!" Princess, I haven't forgiven you about the mirror thing, thus give me answers or goodbye!" Sunset asking with some rude tone. "Sunset, I don't know what that spell was either, but I can tell you what I do know." Celestia feels sorrow that Sunset still hasn't forgiven her action; however, she kept her sadness and told Sunset everything that happened yesterday night. "That's what happened. Oh! By the way, Twilight asked me if she can be my student or not, and I agreed, so why don't you visit her later? Cause you two are going to become classmates." Celestia has a feeling that Twilight can change Sunset to good. She doesn't know why but she has the feeling it will happen. 'A filly even more powerful than you? Bullhay! But if I can use that filly's power wisely *evil smirk* this my chance and the princess even saying I can visit her I can't waste this opportunity.' Sunset thought about a plan to manipulate Twilight, but unfortunately, it won't work. "Well, that's a wonderful idea, princess! I'll visit her right now." Sunset said with a fake grin and left the room. Celestia knows what Sunset is thinking, but she decides not to stop her. 'If it's Twilight, I believe she can do what I can't do and change Sunset's mind.' ***** *Sometimes later, hospital Room 206* "So, this is that filly's room. *deep breath* You got this!" Sunset says, then opens the door. Once she is inside the room, the filly turns toward her and speaks. "Sunset Shimmer? Well, it's good to see you, and frankly, I didn't expect you to come." Sunset stunned a little bit, and she thought to herself, 'How did she know who I am? Did Celestia tell her? Or something else is going on? This filly is definitely more than meets the eye! I gotta be careful!' "How do you know who I am? Did Celestia tell you?" Sunset asked. And the filly replies with, "Tia didn't tell me anything; it's just my sixth sense, that's all." 'Six sense? The hell that six senses tell you that! She is lying! I can tell, but why do I get a feeling of believing what she said?' Sunset is confused; she feels her mind is a total mess which feels like her very core is against some outside force that is changing her, but at the same time, it feels so good that she almost doesn't want to fight back. Sunset shook her head, clearing her mind and asking another question, "Do you like Celestia? How do you feel about her? Do you hate her?" "Nah, I won't say I hate her, but not to the point of liking her either. I would say neutral, and if you asked me, I, to be honest, will say I like her sister more than her." The filly responds with a smile. 'Her sister? Since when did Celestia have a sister? Wait! Why do I even consider she's telling the truth, but her tone makes me feel she's not lying, and she looks kind of cute...! Wait! What do I even think? Stay focused; Sunset, you need to remember what's your goal here.' "Why don't you come in and sit rather than just standing in front of the door?" The filly asked her, and she replied, "That's great!" Sunset is using a new attitude that she never used before. She doesn't know why, but she likes it! Sunset comes inside the room sitting down, and she can't look away from the filly's cute smile. "What do you mean by her sister? I never knew Celestia had a sister. Also, I don't think I got your name, could you tell me?" As Sunset asks, some of the darkness within her breaks, and she has never been this bright before. "My name is Twilight Sparkle, and you can call me Twi, Twilight, or whatever you want and now, for your other question, Tia's sis. Her name is Luna, also known as Nightmare Moon. Have you ever heard of her?" Twilight explains. "No...? Also, why did you think I would believe what you said? We just met for a few minutes, and you told me all of this then accepted me to trust you?" Sunset asked. In fact, deep in her heart, she already accepts what Twilight says is the truth, but she wants to act tough in front of her, so that's why she is asking her. "You mean, you don't believe me?" Twilight says and unintentionally doing sad puppy eyes, which made Sunset's heart jumping up and down fast. "Hey! That's cheating! Using a puppy eye like that!" Sunset complains. "What puppy eye are you talking about?" Twilight asked in confusion with her head bent slightly right. (And Sunset die from cuteness overload The End!)(JK) "You... uh, never mind. *sigh* Tell me more about Celestia's sister." 'Is she really that dumb? But at the same time, I've never felt this joyful before.' Despite being a little frustrated, Sunset is still enjoying her status. "She is the princess of the night, and she wanders the dream realm. About one thousand years ago, she was jealous of Tia, due to that turning herself into Nightmare Moon, and Celestia had no choice but to banish her to the moon..." Twilight keeps on saying everything she knows about Luna; obviously, she didn't mention anything about the show or the future, while Sunset stays silent, appreciating the marvelous story that Twilight is telling. 'Is it real or fake?' Sunset doesn't care! She's just enjoying the story very much. "And I think that's all of the things I know about Luna. Hey, Sunset, do you want to be my friend?" Twilight said. "Friend...?" Sunset felt something within her triggered by this word. "Yes! Friend! Do you not want to be my friend?" Twilight says with a sad tone. "No! I would love to be your friend." Sunset speaks nervously. "Yeah!" Twilight cheer with a cute face. 'Oh my! She's so cute! I feel like I forget something important. Nah, just let it go then.' Sunset thinks. "I would like to stay chatting, but I have to do something else," Sunset said with sorrow in her eyes. "It's ok! Don't worry about it!" Twilight responds with a smile. With that, Sunset leaves the room. Author's Note I will be busy in August, so sorry there might be fewer new chapters. Chapter 5 Fourth Wall Broken and Princess Mi Amore Cadenza Part OneAuthor's Note After one busy August, I'm back to weekly updates anyway enjoy. Chapter 5 Fourth Wall Broken and Princess Mi Amore Cadenza Part One After Sunset left the room, Twilight thought to herself, 'Welp, I know that timeline will be super screw right now, but I don't care~! Let's get things even more fucked up! Woo hoo! However, did I do the right thing...? Mmmmm... OK! Enough thinking starts exercising.' Twilight starts jumping in circles because A, training her movement, B, making herself even more like Pinkie Pie, and C, she has nothing else better to do. After a few hours of training, Twilight gets better and better, which made her happier and happier and, at the same time, more Pinkier. "Just how much do you like the word 'er'? Why keep using those words? Couldn't you use some different words like fantastic to describe my hopping exercise?" Twilight breaks the fourth wall and talks to me...!? "Why are you so surprised? The moment you want to make me be even more like Pinkie Pie, you should see this coming. Git gud narrator! Uh..., that was kinda mean, sorry!" Fine! I suck, and you are great! Is that ok? Why don't you being the narrator then!? You so mean இдஇ! I'm out!!!! "Uh...? That means the narrator won't be back for quite a while. So everypony, or should I say the audience who read this novel. I, Avery, wait! In fact, I, Twilight, will read this story for you with Pinkie Pie style!" Wait! Who allows you to use my style, and not to mention fourth wall breaking is my job. Pinkie, this isn't the time you show up! Follow the plot, please! But you're stealing my job, and don't forget that my name is already on the tag so tell me why I can't show up early? That's because the author loves Twilight X Pinkie ship and plans on doing that in the future. I don't really care to be honest. What about you, Pinkie? I don't care either! Suddenly, a doorknock interrupts my debate with Pinkie Pie. Well, Pinkie, we leaving this discussion till next time, what do you think? Okie-dokie-lokie. After Pinkie bounces off, the voice outside says, "Hello, Twilight? Can I go in? I brought some launch." Oh right! I haven't eaten launch yet. "Come in!" The door opened a pink pony standing there, and I know who that pony is; she is Princess Mi Amore Cadenza or Cadance for short. "Princess Cadance, I didn't expect you to come. Anyway, since you bring launch, why don't we talk while eating? Cause I can't think of other reason why you bring launch besides you want to chat with me." "Oh, uh... sure!" It seems she is shocked by my behavior. *** A few minutes ago *** "Sorry, Princess Cadance, we have an emergency, and I think that since you wish to visit Twilight, could you bring this bucket of ice cream to her as well? Things are getting out of hooves." "It's not a problem; I love to help, but what happened? Why things getting out of hooves, and is there anything I could help after I finishing my visit with Twilight?" "Princess, there is nothing you need to concern about. These are our jobs, so if you can bring this to her, which is the best help that you could do for us, and leave the rest to us." "But...!" "Princess! Forgive me for my language. In the end, you are still only one pony with fourth hooves. You aren't God; you can't do everything, and aren't you still a young filly? Princess or not, if we rely on you too much, what kind of grow-up are we?" "Sorry, I didn't think of any of that. In my mind, all I think of is helping ponies." "Don't worry about it... Here! The ice cream bucket she's asking for, and her room is room 206. Also, she seems depressed when she knows her magic resistance is too strong that blocks her magic casting. Thus, I don't recommend you talking anything related to magic." "I will keep that in mind. Thank you, doctor." "You welcome." *** Present *** 'She doesn't feel depressed at all; in fact, she seems happy? Maybe she's trying to act tough. Anyway, first thing first, give her the ice cream.' "The doctors are busy, so they asked me to bring the ice cream." "I see. I was wonder why it was so late and what do doctors busy at?" 'Aren't regular filly usually start complaining at the situation like this? But the way she behavior and talk makes her so mature.' "I'm sorry, I don't know what they are busy at." "You don't need to apologize. I mean, it's not your job. Why should I be angry at something obviously not inside your field of operation? And didn't you say you bring launch? Eating ice cream before meals isn't great. Come on! Let's eat together." 'This filly definitely not one ordinary filly!' *** Somewhere *** Record -1 "Do you think what you do is justice?"

Prologue FateOn a fantastic sunny afternoon, everything is so peaceful. On a lovely day like this, Avery decided to eat lunch outside. Because it rained a lot recently, not much time can go outdoors without getting wet. Thus, he went out to feel the cozy wind and the less moist air. When walking down the street and having yet to decide what to eat, Avery notices a store he never saw before. “Since when is there a store here? I don’t recall anyone or anything talking about a new shop opening,” he said to himself. Avery was born around here and knew the people, the building here very well. Although he did leave when going to college; however, it’s been years since his graduation. Therefore, it’s impossible for he didn’t know anything about this store. He feels interested and curious about the shop so he decides to take a closer look. There are no signs or windows showing what this place sells, and with some doubt, Avery walks inside the store. It wasn’t a big store, and usually, a shop like this won’t have many goods, but he saw something he couldn’t believe. A Pinkie Pie plush, what he always wanted, sitting on the corner of the shelf. He has desired to have a Pinkie Pie plush for a long time; however, he couldn’t find any with good quality. Besides the plush, there is some candy, cookies, and other sweets as well. For some reason, a store selling the confection has a Pinkie Pie plush. But Avery doesn’t care about that. Because there is a Pinkie plush right in front of him; why should he worry about the plush being inside the sweets shop? Besides, when talking about Pinkie, sweets are always a topic that will bring on so no big deal. Avery walked toward the shelf with excitement, wanting to know how much it costs, and he knew it must be expensive. The way it looks is so realistic that it made him feel like it was the real Pinkie Pie standing right there. Suddenly, an old voice speaks out. “Stay where you are, and don’t go near that thing!” an old man walks toward him while yelling. After hearing what he said, Avery was a little puzzled. He thought to himself, ‘why can’t I walk close to it? I don’t know why, but for now, I kept my doubt and better responded to him.’ With that in mind, Avery asked, “Why can’t I walk close to it?” “I’m trying to protect you due to that thing being cursed!” the old man shouted back with an unpleasant tone. Apparently, this isn’t the first time that a similar scene happened. “Cursed? Don’t be kidding me! There is no such thing as cursing. Are you sure you are not drunk or something?” Avery jokes back. He never thought that someone would still believe something like magic or anything similar to it. Although he does love supernatural stories, and sometimes imagine having one of those things back when he was a kid. But he already is an adult and he believes in science more than magic; therefore, he only sees those things as entertainment story material. “I’m sure I’m not drunk at all! And I’m not kidding! That thing is cursed! I’ve seen a lot of people disappear after nearing it!” The old man says, and he looks super furious right now. “Then how did you put it there in the first place if everyone went close to it disappearing? I mean, come on! What you said doesn’t make sense.” Avery questions him back with logic. “That thing appears along with the shop. Back when I was still young, I loved to study all kinds of myths, and one day when I was d...!” Suddenly, the old man falls unconscious. It seems he has a sudden heart attack or something similar to that. Avery couldn’t tell, he is not a doctor after all, but it doesn’t matter now since the old man is passing out. Avery quickly ran toward him. “Are you ok? I will call the doctor! Don’t worry!” He said with restlessness. After checking the heartbeats and making sure that he is still alive, Avery took out his cell phone and called the ambulance. However, there is no signal. Avery thought a place like this would at least still have some wi-fi but nope~ which means he needs to leave the store to get a better signal. However, when Avery tries to open the door, it is locked from the outside. “Huh? How come the door is locked? I didn’t lock the door, and I’m sure he is not even close to the door. Also, did the builder not notice that they built the door invert?” Avery has no clue what’s going on and he tries opening it again several times, but it’s useless. The door is still shut tight. After a few minutes of trying, he heard the sound of water start dropping, and Avery knew that it’s raining again. The sound of the thunder is super loud, which is not very helpful for his situation. It only made him panic even more. Now let’s pause for a minute, shall we? You may be wondering why Avery didn’t go looking for a key? Let me explain in some situations when people are under a lot of pressure, it’s unlikely to come up with a solution. The harder you think about it, the more likely you will not think of anything. However, knowing is one thing; being able to overcome it is another thing. Of course, you can argue with me about that one but for now, let’s get back to the story. It’s been hours for him being locked down in this store and without any way to get out, plus the thunder keeps reverberating around. Slowly getting into Avery’s mind, because he is not a brave person at all. The whole situation just went out of control too quickly. Originally, he planned to eat lunch then go home. But now, he is trapped inside this dark place with no signal, an empty stomach, and a person that is very likely to die any second needed his aid. Suddenly, the Pinkie Pie plush pops into Avery’s mind, which should allow him to be less scary. But, he got a weird feeling that it is calling him, and it wants Avery to play with her, hug her, and talk to her? He knows it’s bizarre, but Avery couldn’t control himself. It’s like something or someone is trying to make him do things for them. Walking toward the shelf, every part of his brain cells tells him don’t do it, and this isn’t normal. But his body uncontrollably keeps walking toward it. It’s just like he got controlled by someone else. After a few minutes of slow walking, Avery arrived in front of the plush, and he didn’t disappear like the old man said. He felt slightly relieved and thought to himself. ‘Yeah, people disappear when going near it, which is just like how I thought it’s fake.’ ‘… Maybe I think too soon.’ When reached out his hand to take the plush, the moment he touched it, the plush started shining with a bright purple light, and a robotic voice suddenly spoke. “The sparkle of hope confirmed! Prepare to be transported!” “What the...!” Avery tries to speak but discovers that he no longer can’t move or talk. He froze at his current spot for some unknown reason. The robotic voice continued saying, “Checking the identity of hope...... Checking the current dimension code G1......52 Opening the world tunnel in progress... Five percent... Ten percent...” Avery is super terrified right now because the store around him starts to tear apart, and the giant rain makes all his body and clothing wet. Also, It says the dimension code Avery understands that parallel universes exist, but it doesn’t make any sense. Why him? Why not someone else? And what did it mean by the sparkle of hope? Lots of unanswered questions rampaging in his mind and needless to say, that old man is still on the ground unconsciously; however, there is nothing he can do besides watching. “Detecting a human life form needed for surgery and medical treatment. Calling the nearest ambulance.” ‘Well, at least, I don’t need to worry about him now; on the other hand, what should I do to get out of this situation anyway?’ Avery thought to himself. Although the news that the old man will be safe means one problem down, he is still in big trouble. “Tunnel fully opened, transport preparation complete! Transporting in three... Two... One...” *Zap!* Pain! That is all Avery can feel right now, and he slowly loses his consciousness. ‘Am I dying?’ This is Avery’s final thought before everything turns black. ***** *Meanwhile, at Canterlot Castle, Celestia’s offices.* Princess Celestia is looking at the documents on her table. And all of them are about the potential bearers of magic. Celestia is very anxious. It’s almost the thousandth year of Summer Sun Celebration, and she hasn’t found anypony capable of being the bearers of magic. The closest one she knows is Sunset Shimmer. However, Celestia can see from Sunset’s eyes that this pony had no intention of being kind at all. All she wants is power ever since she showed her that mirror, and her arrogance is what makes her not fit as a bearer. Though she still has time to help Sunset get back on track, whether she will agree to it or not is another issue. Suddenly, a strong wave of magic energy burst through and followed by a loud noise that sounded like somepony dropped a magic bomb. “What was that? I know it’s not Luna because I know what her magic feels like, and this magic is nothing like hers! It couldn’t be her! Not to mention, it’s way too powerful, it’s even more powerful than me.” Celestia says with worry in her mind. Celestia walks toward the window and tries to find where it happens. Looking around, she sees a lot of smoke coming out from the center of the Canterlot. “Oh, dear! Whatever that was, it must be a strong magic attacking spell. Should I check it out? Or let loyal guards take care of it? For me, the most important thing right now is focusing on Lulu’s return. But as a princess, I should put my subjects’ safety as the priority. What should I do?” Celestia is very struggling. After a few minutes of thinking, Celestia decided to put her subjects’ safety first and flew toward the area. In her flying, she can see a lot of residents running around in a panic making her believe she better fly there even faster. After arriving, Celestia saw a big hole there, which should be created by this magic eruption, when she tried to analyze it she saw Shining Armor run toward her. “Your highness, I have something important to report about the situation. Would you like to hear it?” Shining said with a bow. Celestia turns to look at Shining Armor and replies to him. “Yes, please.” “This abnormal magic was a flash of lightning that somehow appears in the city center and produces a big hole on the ground, as you can see here. By the way, we already contacted the Weather Factory asking if they have any idea about this event. They said the lightning they made with pegasus magic could not create such a big hole on the ground; therefore, it got to be unicorn magic.” Shining response. “Did any citizens get hurt?” Celestia asked with a face of concern. “Well, not exactly... We found a little filly in the center of the hole, which seemed to be struck by lightning. But amazingly, though the smoke caused by the lightning coming out of her body, she isn’t injured at all; somehow, her body is completely undamaged. She only has low blood sugar and a little starvation at this very moment.” Shining reply. “How could that happen? Did any of you talk to her asking about what she knows?” Celestia is surprised and asking with a very serious tone. “Sorry, your highness. When we arrived, the filly had already fallen unconscious and was transported to the hospital right away. But we found something interesting. The profile in the hospital has no record of the filly. It was like lightning and she appeared out of nowhere at the same time.” Shining answer. “I see... After the filly is awake, I would like to talk to her myself. Let me know when she wakes up and also give me a document about how much damage has been made.” Celestia said with some deep thought. “Understood!” After receiving the order, Shining sees Princess Cadance fly toward them. They look each other in the eye for a moment with a smile on their face; then Shining leaves to perform his duty as captain of the loyal guard. “So, when are you two going to have a foal in the future?” Celestia can help but tease Cadence a little bit. She knows how much they love each other, yet both are too scared to take that first step. “Auntie~!!” Cadance’s face blush like a red apple although she is the princess of love, she only got her horn and title a few weeks ago, and she still tries to adapt to her new life. “Ok, ok, I’m just kidding! Now, what brings you here, my niece? To help or to check the situation, I’m assuming?” Celestia asks while eyeing the scene with some thought in her mind. “Yes, I came here to ask about this. According to what I learned, a unicorn’s horn can sense the magic being cast. The stronger the magic or the user is, the easier it gets detected. I only started learning how to use magic a few weeks ago, but even I can feel that magic burst through. How strong was that spell, auntie? I’m curious! Plus, after seeing these destructions, I’m even more curious.” Cadence asks while eyeing the scene as well. “Cadence, I don’t know either. But I do know this caster is way more powerful than me.” Celestia answered while hoping nopony else overheard her words. The last thing she needs right now is to make citizens’ feelings even worse. “But, How?! Aren’t you the strongest magician of all Equestria?” Cadence asked in shock. She can’t believe what she heard. The pony, who she thought of knowing everything, doesn’t know what happened, and not to mention telling her that the caster is even stronger than her. “No, I’m not. I know somepony who is stronger than me, but that pony has been gone for a long time.” Celestia said, and a grieved feeling crossed both her heart and her face. “Who? Who’s magic is stronger than yours?” Now, Cadence really wants to know the caster, who is a mightier magician than Celestia. When Celestia is about to answer, a maid runs toward them, speaking in a hurry. “Sorry, your majesty, but I came here to inform Princess Cadance that her night lesson is about to begin, and we hope that she can get there on time.” “Thank you.” Celestia said to the maid, then spoke to Cadance, “It seems we have to leave this topic for another time. I think it’s time for you to take off, my niece. Learning is an important thing.” “I understand that, but I will get to the bottom of this afterward. See you later, auntie.” Cadence nods and follows the maid. After Cadence leaves, Celestia flies back to her office. On her way, many thoughts ran through her mind. Arriving at the office she sits down and stares back at the document on top of her desk. Cleaning her mind and listing the questions she had down in her mind. Could she be the one I have been waiting for for a long time? The bearers of magic and the hope of getting Lulu back on my side? She has a strong magic ability, that’s no doubt, but is she good or evil? Will she be willing to help me? Who is she, what happened to her, what did she know? I think all my questions will have answers after she wakes up. Right now, all I can do is wait. However, one thing I’m sure about is that the spell has the same feeling of mother’s magic. Though it’s very weak, I barely recognize it, it’s still too similar to mother’s magic. After a few minutes of planning Celestia stands up, staring outside again, but this time she isn’t staring at the city, but the moon instead, then she speaks to the moon. “I miss you so much, sister! I wish to play with you, hug you, and chat with you, not to mention seeing your face again. I’m sorry, sis! For not noticing your pain and loneliness.” Tears streaming down from her cheeks. ***** On the hill nearby, there is a white alicorn with a red mane and ink cutie mark watching and said, “That’s all I can do to help you, Tia. What will happen next is up to you, and I hope you and Lulu will forgive each other and rule together again as sisters! I’m sorry I couldn’t be there with you! I have my own problems that I need to deal with and have to face the consequences of my action. You are not the only one who misses her. I miss her too, both of you!” A drop of a tear rolling down from the white alicorn cheeks. Suddenly, a dark figure appears from the shadow and says to the white alicorn, “Time’s up! Please come with me right away.” The dark figure speaks with a cold tone. “I’m coming!” The white alicorn looks at the castle and the moon once more and walks toward the dark figure. With that, the white alicorn and the dark figure disappear in the flash of light. Go back to the place where they were supposed to be. Author's Note My first time writing and feel free to giving me suggestions.
Chapter 1 Waking upThe sunlight shines through the window and brightens up the room while Avery wakes up dizzily, and he feels so hungry right now. Reaching out his hand, wanting to take the cellphone that he always put on the bedside table then go downstairs to get some breakfast, but couldn't find it. The only thing he touched was some kind of rock, and somehow he couldn't feel his fingers touching it. It's like he is touching with a fist; he wanted to open his hand but couldn't. He opened his eyes, looking around the room, it is so white, and there is a personal bathroom and a door that he assumes connects to the corridor. It seems to be a hospital room, he thinks. Then, he started to remember he was struck by some kind of lighting. Maybe that's why he is here and couldn't feel his finger at all. He looked down, wanting to understand how bad his injury is, and he couldn't believe what he saw. It was a purple hoof though the rest of the body it's still under the sheet. Avery could imagine the rest of his body definitely changing as well, and he just stared at it, too shocked to say or do anything. Now! Without a doubt, he is fully awake. Not knowing how many times had passed, he heard a doorknock, looking toward the door, and saw a brown pony with a stethoscope who seemed like a doctor. "Oh! You wake up. Great! And are you feeling ok there, young filly?" The doctor said. "Depends on how you define it since I'm physically ok, but mentally not," Avery responded and tried to be calm. He doesn't know how to feel about the situation and he thought to himself. ‘ I'm becoming a filly; I mean, it's not bad, I guess since I always want to be a woman, not a man, but the fact of turning into a pony isn't what I expected. Don't get me wrong, I love ponies but becoming one and loving one are two different things, and for some reason, I feel I had heard this body's voice before, but only mine is higher. ’ "That's an interesting answer... Could you tell me why you think you mentally hurt?" The doctor said with both curiosity and concerns on his face. "Uh... I... I." Avery doesn't know what to say, and he doesn't think he could just tell them about the show since they won't believe it; not to mention he doesn't know why he is here in the first place. All sorts of possibilities flow through Avery’s mind. ‘ Is this world the same as the show? Did I accidentally possess somepony's body? Or am I still in the human world just having some illusion, ’ on and on non-stopped. The doctor saw Avery couldn't tell him anything and panicked like one filly would behave if they got stricken by the lighting, which made him believe that Avery was just an innocent filly who tried to cover the PTSD from the lightning strike. Thus, it's better to leave Avery some space to calm down. Not only it's better for his recovery but also because the princess will come soon, and it would definitely be like adding oils on the fire. Not good for a kid's mind. Therefore, he speaks to Avery with a smile, "Why don't I get you some breakfast; I'm sure you are starving, am I right? And we could talk during breakfast, what do you say?" "Sure... it will... It will be great!" Avery responded. He really needed some time to be alone, checking what he looked like and what to do next. "Ok, one more question before I leave, are you allergic to anything?" the doctor says. "No, I don't think so," Avery answered. To be honest, he doesn't know if this body is allergic to anything at all. Well, he thinks that's another problem he needs to look into too. "All right, I will be right back." With that, the doctor leaves and leaves Avery alone once again in the room. Avery tries to take off the sheet with his front hooves; it's not easy at first, but he is getting the hang of this, and it reminds him of the siphon. ‘ Well, look on the bright side, at least I know how hooves work now, and siphon, it's a fascinating subject. Though I didn't study it much, I still know the basics of siphon. Once you know how it functions, it's actually getting easier. ’ He took off the sheet seeing the rest of his body; it's still purple along with two back hooves like he presumes. ‘ Next thing, check my flank...? And this line one hundred percent going to the I never thought I would say this section. ’ There is no cutie mark on his butt, and now the only thing he hasn't checked yet is his face. ‘ If I remember correctly, there is a bathroom room, which I assume will have a mirror inside. ’ Therefore, it is time for Avery to learn how to walk with four legs, or should I say four hooves? Step one, get off the bed, easy. Step two, try to stand still without falling, almost fall but he did it. Step three, walking forward. ‘ Oh boy, this is going to be a pain in the ass. All right, first, both right-back left-front hoof walk forward, good...! Next, right-front left-back forward, great...! I feel like I'm walking like a robot, but it doesn't matter; I'm slowly making progress, and suddenly I think of how I run with these hooves? I will leave this problem for another time right now; all I need to do is focus on walking. Ok, keep going right-back left-front then right-front left-back. Normal walking it's not that hard; the real problem is walking downstairs and running will be the hardest thing to do. ’ Slowly making his way toward the bathroom, he opened the door. ‘ Thank you! The knowledge of siphon so that I have no problem opening it! And now, the mirror, I am coming for you! ’ "......! You gotta be kidding me...! No way! There is no way I'm her...!" The reflection shows a filly Twilight with the look of twilighting, and she seems even younger than the Twilight that they present in S1 EP23, The Cutie Mark Chronicles. Avery doesn't know how to feel the fact that he became Twilight. ‘ I'm not as great as her, and the fact she is this young means even if I did find a way to bring the original Twilight back, she would be just a little filly around 4 or 5 (he couldn't tell how old she is from the mirror). Because I know it will take me years to find a way to bring her back here. While this body will already be around 18 years old or so. OH MY GOD, WHAT SHOULD I DO!!!! ’ Suddenly, a door knock brings him out of his thought train. "I brought breakfast." the doctor says. And Avery responded quickly, "I'm in the little filly's room; could you leave the breakfast on the table then leave while I'm taking care of... my things." He doesn’t want to let anypony see his current status. "Oh! Sorry for interrupting you! Well, I have other things I need to take care of. I will come back later." The doctor put down the breakfast and left. ‘ Ok? I thought that he would be asking me some questions while I am eating my breakfast. ’ "Weird," he says to himself, trying to adjust himself to get used to his Twilight voice. The voice that Avery heard for so long from someone else is now making by himself. And he trying so hard not to say dumb stuff with Twilight's voice. The inner demon wants him to speak out loud because it will be funny to hear Twilight saying these kinds of words like that. He thinks it's because he is too nervous about this situation; therefore, his subconscious tries to make him tranquilize, and his mind is a complete mess up. Suddenly, the hunger sound of his stomach brought him back to reality. Shaking his head, getting rid of every thought he currently has and closing his eyes then deep breathing. ‘ Ok, I think I will be fine, more or less. Now, first thing first, eating breakfast, and if the doctor comes back, I need to get myself ready for the question that he might ask me; if not, I need to gather some information about this world's Twilight and her family. Yeah, that should work, I hope. ’ Taking another deep breath, “*sigh* there goes nothing, I guess,” and he walked out of the bathroom. Once he was outside the bathroom, he saw a sandwich and a glass of mike on the table. The sandwich was stuffed with flowers, eggs, and hay. Slowly making his way toward the table, he thought to himself. ‘ I wonder what it tastes like, and I'm really getting a hang of walking, which is an excellent thing; the less I draw attention, the less trouble I will get myself into. ’ Arriving at the table, Avery reached out his hoof to take the sandwich. ‘ It's so freaking weird to not have any fingers at all. ’ It definitely will take him quite a while to get used to it. He takes a bite at the sandwich, and it's pretty good; probably because he is a pony now, it's not as bad as he thought it would be. Avery took a few minutes to finish the sandwich and mike. “Ok, that's a great meal; not as good as the meal my mom made, but I can't complain,” he says. ‘ Now, the doctor hasn't come back; therefore, I go with my other plan, gathering the information about this world's Twilight. ’ Suddenly, he noticed a bizarre thing; why were Twilight's parents and Shining Armor not here by Twilight's bedside. According to what he knows, they care about Twilight a lot, and they should be here in no time once he wakes up, but they aren't. ‘ I wonder what's the difference between the show and this world. ’ At this moment, there are thousands of questions and possibilities crossing through his head. A few minutes passed then the knock on the door brought him back to reality once again; he thought to himself, ‘ I really need to stop overthinking stuff. ’ Later, the doctor's voice came from the other side of the door. "I want to know, have you finished your breakfast yet? Can I come in and ask you some questions?" ‘ He sounds very apprehensive about my situation; I'm wondering why. ’ "Yes, I finished it. You can come in asking some questions if you want to." Avery replied; meanwhile, conceived in mind on how to answer while trying to make it draw the least suspect the best. And he went back to bed sitting there. The doctor opens the door, but he doesn't come in. ‘ That's a little bit strange, ’ he thought to himself. He says, "I only have two questions to ask you, but I want you to know that Princess Celestia will come visiting you in less than twenty minutes; I hope you won't be panicking too much. And don't worry, you are not in any trouble at all; Princess Celestia only comes here to talk. Are you still ok?" "Yeah... I'm good. Just wondering why did the princess want to talk to me?" he answered, and all the plans and confidence shattered in just a second. ‘ Well, I guess I have to see what the Sun Butt has in store for me. Oh Jesus! Or should I say, oh sweet Celestia now? ’ "That question maybe it's best to let the princess herself answer. Anyway, my first question is could you tell me your name?" The doctor says. "You don't know my name? I thought doctors would always know their patient's name." He asked him back confusingly. This info has brought up a whole new level of questions that needed to be answered. The doctor doesn't know his name, meaning he is the actual Twilight in this world since Twilight didn't exist before he came. ‘ I need more information to make sure my theory is correct or not. If my speculation is correct, then this means Equestria's destiny is falling into my hands. Uh..., hooves, in fact. Oh god! I pray that my guess is wrong because I won't be as good as Twilight from the show. And needless to say, I already know the future event that might happen, which could lead to tons of butterfly effects, and that will not be good. I don't think I could make the future better, it's more likely I will make it even worse. ’ "Well, young filly, let me tell you one thing, not everypony will know everything, even the doctor, and trust me, you will understand it once you got older; thus, could you tell me your name?" The doctor said, and it seems Avery’s weird question doesn't bother him. Perhaps it's because his youthful appearance makes him think that is just kids being kids. However, that's not the point right now. The more important question is how should he answer? His real name or Twilight's name? If he answers his real name, he can be free without worrying he might do something wrong that will let the name Twilight get ruined; however, it will draw too much attention for its weirdness and not being ponylike. But if he answers Twilight's name, it won't cause much trouble; however, it also means he is using a name, which doesn't belong to him, and he might ruin the reputation of the name Twilight, which is something he doesn't want to happen. ‘ To me, it's like a promise that you choose who you want to be, and every name has its own unique promises. Plus, it's hard to build fame; but easy to create infamously. ’ In Avery’s head, it's like ten minutes had passed, but in reality, only one second had passed. (This definitely because The Stand The World doing ZA WARUDO)(JK) At last, he made my decision, and told him, "My name is Twilight Sparkle." "Twilight Sparkle. That's a good name." Then the doctor writes down the name on his medical record. "My second question, do you have any family members?" After writing it down, he asked Avery the second question right away. "Family members?" And this time, Avery really doesn't know how to answer; he can't tell him about his family who lives back on earth, but what other choice does he have? "The ponies who live together with you. Could you tell me who you live with?" the doctor says, assuming Avery doesn't know what the words mean. "I know the word family members mean! It's just that I..., uh." He says and still doesn't know how to answer; Avery basically likes a broken record that keeps saying, uh, mmm, well. Not to mention, it's impossible for him to see his family and friends back on earth again and his words filled with sadness for thinking of that. The doctor sees Avery having difficulty saying what family members do he have, making him think that he is actually an orphan and doesn't want to talk about this topic, so he speaks to Avery. "It seems I brought up some sensitive topic that you don't want to talk about, and I apologize for reminding you of bad things; is this why you say you mentally hurt?" Avery replied to him, "I don't want to talk about it." Then he looked down at his now Twilight body, feeling uneasy that everything just happened so fast that he can hardly handle it. And he started sobbing a little bit. Seeing Avery crying, he says, "Do you want me to give you some space alone, or do you want somepony to accompany you?" "I... would like to... be alone for... a while... please," Avery said while trying to control his breath from sobbing. "All right then, I'll just let you be." The doctor said and left. Once again, only Avery is inside the room, and to be fair, he doesn't blame the doctor for reminding him what he had lost, but rather because of all the responsibility he had to carry in the future and the doubt that he will be able to succeed has crushed him. He knows everything has to end one day, and life isn't fair; plus, fate is unpredictable; therefore, he takes loss facilely but not responsibility. He always places work before everything else and always wants to do it perfectly. He would give up eating, sleeping, and playing to finish what he must do. The feeling of not being able to do things right is the main reason why he cried. ‘but only for today. Because there is a lot of responsibility in the future, and I had no time to tear up. I had to do it! I HAD TO!’ ****** *A few minutes ago, at the Day/Sun Court* The nobles are arguing with one another, accusing one another of causing lighting; the filly they found in the hole is definitely their helper and demanding some punishment. Basically, it is a total mass. Celestia had gone through this kind of scenario like a million times already. If she can say one thing she saw the most in her thousand-year lifetime is selfish noble ponies doing dumb stuff in every period, and it's annoying her a lot. And today, it should be just like the same old-day Celestia watching these nobles acting like a child, but today something is different; instead of listening to what the nobles say, she's been thinking about the mysterious filly in her mind nonstop. Celestia's been thinking about how the filly could change Equestria if she is kind and good; how many things she wants to teach the filly if she is willing to help. But, at the same time, she is also thinking how bad it could be if she is evil; though it's unlikely for a little filly like her to be evil, you never know, it's better safe than sorry. Unexpectedly, a knock on the door draws everypony's attention; a royal guard opens the door. "Get out of here; we are taking care of some business, don't interrupt us!" One of the nobles says follow by, "Yeah!", "Who do you think you are to interrupt our meeting with the princess!" "That's something I can agree to!" The speech goes on and on, but the guard ignores them and steps in front of the princess. With a bow, he says, "Your majesty, I'm here to inform you that the filly in the hospital is awake. And the doctor will ask her some basic information to fill her medical record." "Thank you, could you tell them I'll be there in about twenty minutes?" Celestia says with some joy while trying to hide her excitement. "Understood, your majesty." With another bow, the guard left. After the guard left, Celestia spoke to the nobles, "It seems we have to cut this meeting short, and I will hold another meeting tomorrow after I know what the filly knows." "Your highness, I must protest! She's just a filly; her words aren't worthwhile! I suggest we continue the meeting." One of them says, "Oh? Why did you don't want your highness to hear her words? It's because she will expose you, isn't it!" Another one talks back. "Lair! I think you ARE the one who works with her and tells her to tell your highness false information so that you can get away!" one shouted back. "You DARE TO SAY THAT, YOU XXXXXX!" Another yells back as well. Thus, the fight begins once again, but unlike the other time. This time Celestia doesn't have the patience to deal with them; all she wants to do now is get to the filly seeing how much she is capable of, then obtain the hope of saving Luna; she has no time for this. Hence Celestia hit the table with her hoof making a loud sound drawing everypony's attention. "I had made up my mind; therefore, keeping fighting won't help solve the problem. I will talk to the filly; then we can have another meeting tomorrow, and I know some of your properties got damaged by the lighting, but that's not an excuse to accuse one another without any evidence. I hope we dismiss this meeting peacefully and leave the rest of the discussion tomorrow. Is everypony agree?" Despite having a smile on her face, you can still feel the anger and fire burning in Celestia's eyes. "Sure... agree!" One by one, the nobles left the meeting room. When the last pony left, Celestia got up from her seat, thinking inside her mind that the nobles were getting more and more ridiculous, and started making her way to the hospital. On her way to the hospital, inside Celestia's mind is nothing but Luna and her past. She wishes Luna could be back sooner so that there is somepony who is not scared of her that she can talk to, and she can let all her worry and fear go in Luna's hug. She doesn't want to be a princess; she wants to be herself, even for only a short amount of time. Celestia is tired, a thousand years of loneliness, ponies come and go, and nopony who she can open her heart to and not even her students. She wants things to change because Celestia knows at this rate, one day, she will be losing her mind and destroy the very thing she wants to protect, Equestria. "Please! Mother, wherever you are right now, help me and lead me with your strength!" Celestia prayed. ***** Arriving at the hospital door; the doctor comes to Celestia and says, "Your highness, the filly is in Room 206, and I had informed her about your visit." "Thank you, doctor, and I heard you had asked her about some basic information for her record. Might you tell me some of them?" Celestia replied. "Of course, your highness, her name is Twilight Sparkle, and when I asked her about her family, she got sad with no reply and made me believe that she is an orphan, and maybe that's why we don't have any of her medical records." The doctor answers back with happiness that he helped the princess. Celestia was stunned the moment she heard the filly's name and asked again, to make sure she hadn't heard things, "Did you just say that her name is Twilight Sparkle?" "Uh, yes, your highness, that's what she said. Is...something wrong?" The doctor puzzled. A lot of past memories flash through Celestia's head, and she replies, "No! Nothing is wrong! In fact, it's even better!" Can't hide her happiness, Celestia walks toward the room right away without any explanation. Don't worry about it; ponies will love your night as well, Lulu. I doubt that! Everypony hates my night! Mom, you are the only pony who loves me! Did you really have to go? Yes, I had to because it's my duty. I don't want you to leave! Nopony else will understand me! Luna, you will find a pony who understands you and loves your night like me as well one day. Nopony will...They always talk about sunrise, sunset but never say moonrise or moonset..., I will never find one! Tia loves you, Lulu. ...... Luna, what mother says is right; I do love you. But ponies don't!!! Luna..., please I...! You two! There are some important things I think I should say before I leave. Both day and night are significant. Though the ponies don't realize it, I know that you can't have one without the other, and they are not that much of a difference than you imagine it will be. What's the point? They won't love my night just because of that. Please, let me finish my words. Sorry. Remember, there is a moment in time called twilight. Twilight is both days and nights, and the sparkle inside will let ponies understand how mattering the nights were like the days were; therefore, be patient, Luna. The twilight sparkle will let everypony know how both days and nights are essential to one another. I love both of you, my little moon princess and my little sun princess. We love you too, mom! Celestia is now in front of the door of room 206, and she took a deep breath, saying to herself, "Thank you, mother!" Now, the moment of truth! Is this pony the one that mother is talking about or not, and with nervousness in her heart, she opens the door. Author's Note It seems sad so far, but in future chapters, it will be getting weirder and funnier, trust me.
Chapter 2 A Promise Between Sun and StarAvery lay on the bed, and his tears are already dried, thinking about when Celestia will come. He has calmed down a little bit, but he doesn't know how long it will last, and he could be bursting into tears at any second. "You have made your choice, and you need to be strong, no more tears, accept the responsibility. You can do this; you just have to believe in yourself, and you got this! Don't worry about it!" Avery closed his eyes and said to himself, trying to imagine that the actual Twilight is telling him these words. Now, he has completely calmed down, he can begin to think what his next step will be, but since Celestia has yet to come and he doesn't think he has anything else he can do besides waiting for her, he is just staring outside the window for some pretty view. Outside the window is the street of Canterlot, and it's more beautiful than he can imagine. He can't wait to see it even closer and It will be absolutely fantastic. "It's gorgeous! I believe it will be even better if I see this view from the nighttime." He said and didn't realize that he spoke it out loud. "I believe if you see it from my castle balcony it will be even more enjoyable." A soft, also familiar voice suddenly says, and Avery knows who is speaking right away. He turned around and saw her standing in front of the door with a big smile. She seems glad to see him, in fact, a little bit too happy, and Avery is not sure why but a strange feeling comes across his heart. "Oh, hi princess, I didn't know you were here already, I'm sorry," Avery says and thinking to himself. ‘Dear God, she is enormous; comparing my size to her size, it's totally a different type of world level.’ "*Giggle* There is no need to apologize. Now, little one, I heard from the doctor you said that your name is Twilight Sparkle, correct?" Celestia walks inside the room, sitting right beside Avery’s bedside and the joy on her face is indescribable. "Uh... yes, your highness! My name is Twilight Sparkle...! Uh, princess, if you don't mind, can you tell me why you wanted to ask me some questions?" Avery said, then he realized something, he began to behave more like the real Twilight, and he didn't know why and how. Is this body changing him, or did he unintentionally start acting? Avery loves doing a play, but he easily forgets the script is the main reason why he gave up on this road. Because in science, he can review the chemical material over and over again, while in the play, he can't. "Did you know anything about a strange lightning bolt that struck the center of the city? You were found there, right in the middle of the hole it created, and that's why I want to ask you." Celestia says. For some reason, Avery has a feeling it's more than just that, but he has no information and blindly guessing it's not good; therefore, he'll leave that feeling aside, answering the question that she asked first. "I don't know the lightning you mention, wait! Hold on a second! Are you saying that I got stricken by the lightning, which could create a massive hole in the ground and somehow still survive? If that's the truth, then I don't know what else to say; even I can't believe it, but here I am talking to you. For Lauren's sake, how's that even possible!" Avery complained, looking down at his hoof didn't realize the shock, also happy emotion on Celestia's face as some drops of tears rolling down from her cheeks. While Celestia is still recovering from her state, Avery simply thinks about why and how this happened. And all of a sudden, he noticed that he didn't know anything about magic. He doesn't know how it works, what it is capable of, how many spells there are, and he doesn't even know how to cast one, which means how could he figure it out with almost zero knowledge he has. With that in mind, Avery asks Celestia, "Princess, is there a book that can teach me about magic; I kinda want to study about magic so that I can understand about this lightning bolt that hit me." There is no response...! Thus Avery looked up and saw the tear of joy on Celestia's face, and he froze for a second due to seeing how overwhelmed she was by happiness. "Uh... princess, are you all right? Why are you weeping?" Avery asks in confusion. ‘Did I break her, or did something else happened? I'm so confused right now.’ The next second, before Avery can understand what happened, Celestia stands up, hugging him tightly, and spins in circles yelling, "Yes! YES! YES! I finally found you; I had never been this happy before! This is the new dawn of Equestria! Oh, wait! I should say a new twilight for Equestria instead! But who cares, I at last found you!" "Need... air... princess...!" Avery tries to squeeze out a few words from Celestia's tight hug. "Oops! I'm so sorry, my little pony. It's just that I'm too happy to see you. I'd been waiting for this moment for hundreds of years." Celestia loses her hug and puts Avery back on the bed with a sheepish face while Avery tries to breathe in as much air as possible. "Waiting... for... me...? What..., what are you talking about?" Avery asked while still trying to catch his breath from Celestia's strong hug. "You just said the name Lauren, didn't you?" Celestia says with a big smile on her face. "Uh, yeah! But what did it have to do with the question that I asked you?" Avery speaks with confusion. "Nopony knows that name for at least a thousand years, which implies that you are sent here by her to help me, aren't you? Otherwise, how can you explain why you know that name?" Celestia replies and Avery can see the sparkle in her eyes which are filled with hope and brightness. "I can't tell you how or why I know the name, Lauren, but what I can tell you is that I wasn't sent by her," Avery answered while hoping that she won't find it weird because considering he can't tell her about the show or anything that relates to it. Celestia seems to a tiny bit disbelieve his word, but she didn't question it further; instead, she asks Avery, "The doctor said that you didn't answer him anything when he is asking you about your family. Do you mind telling me what's wrong so that I can help you?" *Silence...* Avery didn't say anything, and he didn't plan to either. He just sat there and turned his head away from Celestia. Seeing Avery not saying anything, even turning his head away, Celestia says, "I'll take that as a no. That's fine if you don't want to talk about it, but if one day you want somepony to talk about it, can I be that pony? Also, Twilight, if you keep all the pain and sadness to yourself, it won't be healthy. Just remember, when you need help, you can call me." That motherly tone nearly made Avery want to tell her everything, but he can't; it's not only for his own good but also for the future of Equestria. The more pony knows about it, the greater the snowball gets, and he won't let that happen to his beloved Equestria. NEVER! At the same time, he realizes this will be his opportunity to become Celestia's student in order to keep the future of Equestria on the path where it should be. But if he becomes her student now, which means he won't connect to the Sonic Rainboom event, then again OG Twilight was shocked by the Rainboom so that she lost her magic control; however, he already knows the Rainboom is coming that been say he won't be surprised by it. Thus, he thinks he better tell her that he wants to become her student right now; otherwise, he doesn't think he had another chance like this. ‘Here goes nothing.’ "Princess!" Avery says with determination. "Yes, Twilight, what's wrong?" She seems surprised that Avery spoke to her again this soon after asking him about his family. "I want to become your student!" Avery says it loudly, hoping she won't deny his request. "Oh? Why do you want to become my student?" She seemed happy that Avery said that, probably because she thought she had to convince him to become her student. "I want to study about that lightning bolt, and I want to help you!" Avery speaks firmly. "I understand you want to study the lightning bolt, but I don't understand why you said you want to help me. Twilight, would you kindly explain to me why you think I need help?" Celestia's feelings are complex right now. Yes, indeed, she needs help, but she doesn't understand how the little filly will notice something this small since she barely shows any sign of that. "Your eyes, they tell me everything. You are scared and want to be saved. I may not be a great magician, but I want to be there for you. You are alone, and that loneliness is driving you crazy, isn't it?" Avery tells her while hoping that she won't know everything he says about her eyes is a half-lie since you can lie about your words and your expression easily but not eyes which is the best way to convince her that he saw those in her eyes. And to be honest, Avery doesn't know if what he said is true or not. He just assumed Luna hasn't come back for him AKA now Twilight being this young which means Celestia wants to bring her back so badly, that she will do anything to turn her little sister back to normal. "I... How...?" Celestia is speechless and doesn't know what else to say. Seeing her inarticulate, Avery decides to go even further and tell her. "You lost your family, didn't you? I had seen those eyes before..., I saw them in the mirror, on my reflection. It's oblivious that you have been through this longer than me, and you have hidden those feelings very well; however, no matter how great you are at lying to ponies, even yourself, the eyes can't lie. Maybe because you are a princess, you hide that emotion too well. I didn't discover it at first, but as time goes by, I slowly see it and your eyes and my eyes having a soul talk. At that moment, I know, we both need each other to heal." After Avery finished his words, Celestia cried. She put a sound barrier around the room, or at least, Avery thinks she did. Otherwise, why would no guard come in if they can hear the princess crying? Then she uses a spell to make her about Avery’s body size and starts hugging him and thanking Avery at the same time because she doesn't want to repeat the hug event earlier once again. Despite her tears all over Avery’s body, which feels uncomfortable, he'll just let her be, cause right now, at this moment, she is not the sun princess nor Celestia. She's just Tia, a broken mare that needed to heal so badly. "It's ok, Tia! We can overcome this! I promise you that I will never leave your side no matter what happens; I will respect your decision, while I hope you can do the same for me as well. I will be inside your heart even when I am not physically with you!" Avery says, hugging her even tighter. Tia, I promise you that I will never leave your side no matter what happens. I will be inside your heart even when I am not physically with you! This is the second time Celestia has a flashback, which made her believe the little filly in front of her isn't some ordinary kid, but rather a gift, a present that her mother sent, and she promised her mother she won't waste this gift. "You know, as a princess, I shouldn't cry, but I can't control myself, and I am glad to be your teacher. Thank you, Twilight!" Celestia says with a big grin. "It's nothing! Just do what I can do, that's all!" Avery responded with a big grin as well. Celestia changes back to her original size and removes the sound barrier, then says to me, "I should leave since I have a lot of duties I have to do, and by the way, after I leave the doctor will take you to do a magic and body check. I hope you won't mind." When she comes to the door Avery comes by her side and says. "Don't worry about it! Let's all work together to heal each other while trying to save L-U-N-A!" While doing a wink when speaking about Luna. "How did you...?" Before Celestia can finish her words, Avery quickly interrupts her and says, "Bye! See you later!" Then push Celestia out of the room right away. ‘Mother, what an interesting filly you gave me!’ Celestia thinks and leaves the room. Author's Note Trying my best to write a chapter a week.
Chapter 3 Side EffectAfter making Celestia leave, Avery lay back on the bed thinking about what he just did. Avery wants to help, but the question "telling Celestia those and giving her hope only ends up nothingness" keeps bothering his mind since no one knows how the future will go, and his knowledge will be the main reason changing the future holds for all ponykind. "Did I make the right choice?" Avery questioned himself. He had a feeling he had told her something she shouldn't acknowledge. "Twilight. The doctor is ready to start your magic and body check; would you come with me." A grey fur pony nurse opens the door say. "Ok! I'm coming!" Without hesitation, Avery got out of bed and followed the nurse right away. Walking through the corridor, Avery didn't see any other patients, even rooms, which made him wonder if Celestia put him in a lab rather than a hospital or if this place was supposed to be VIP only. So many possibilities appear inside his mind, but the nurse's words brought him back to reality. "We're here. The doctor is waiting inside the room. Also, there is nothing to worry about the check. It's easy, and we're not going to make you do anything scary. You will be fine!" The nurse says with a soft tone, probably because she sees Avery’s nervous face. Taking a deep breath, Avery walks into the room. The examination is pretty basic: weight, height, physical reaction, etc. Nothing special, but the last two are the most attractive and significant, magic potential power and magic resistance. Avery doesn't care about magic resistance, but the other one's magic potential power makes him dread cause if his potential power is weak, then he can't fulfill Twilight's duties, which will be a disaster for the world's fate. The doctor puts a device on Avery’s horn, and he feels a warm energy washing through his head, which for the first time, he feels the magic within him is activating. Quite frankly, it's kind of weird but marvelous at the same time for Avery. Unfortunately, that wonderful feeling didn't last long because the doctor's face looks blue, making Avery worry. "Is something wrong?" Avery asked while hoping it wouldn't be much of a bigger deal. "I've got good news and bad news. The good news is that you have unbelievably strong magic resistance, and in fact, the strongest I've ever seen. And the bad news is... Well." The doctor draws off in the middle of his word. "It's ok! You can tell me I think I can handle whatever the bad news is." Avery says, try to be calm, but his heart is already beating so fast that he doesn't even know if he will be able to deal with it or not. "Magic resistance makes the magic from outside hard to get in, which means the magic you cast, aka inside, hard to get out as well. For normal ponies, the magic resistance is so weak that they can just ignore it, but your resistance is too strong and making you may not be able to cast a powerful spell even the basic one could be hard for you to cast." The doctor says, and all of his worries are written all over his face. After hearing what he said, Avery’s mind froze up, trying to organize what he said. ‘Did he seriously mean it, or is there something else going on?’ And all the worry and anxiety broke him. Seeing Avery’s reaction, the doctor walks toward him and speaks to him, "Do you need a hug or something else like ice cream?" He is very concerned since Avery has been standing there, not doing anything for two minutes. "Uh...! Sure...! I would like to have some ice cream. Thank you!" Avery responds to him while still recovering from the fact he just told him. "All the checking is finished, you can head back to your room, taking a rest, and I will be there with ice cream in about ten minutes. Is that ok with you, or do you need anything else?" The doctor says, and obviously, he feels guilty for telling Avery these. "Mmm...? Oh, uh...? I think that will be enough, no need to give me anything else. Uh...? I better head back to my room. Thank you." With that, Avery went back to his room. Although he trips all over his hoof a lot of time when heading back since he is still practicing walking, the doctor just assumes that Avery is too shocked to walk correctly. Back in the room, Avery sits on the chair and thinks about his next step. ‘Well, everything went wrong; I feel like an idiot for worrying this much stuff, and not just here back in the human world as well. Maybe I should be like Pinkie Pie and stop overthinking every little thing.’ Avery envies Pinkie for her naivety, and he always wants to be like her, but he always thinks it's inappropriate. All of sudden, he thought to himself. ‘You know what! Fuck everything; I'm using Pinkie Pie style to solve every task ahead of me! Throw away all the plans I had for the future. Now! From this moment, my only goal is to give everypony hope and a smile.’ All the things that happened at once had crushed Avery’s soul and started making him into a madman, which maybe could be a good thing? ***** The lights (hope) that are born inside the darkness (despair) will be the brightest light you have ever seen, vice versa, and balance is the most important thing of all. A black unicorn walks inside the room where these words are written on the sign, and he speaks to the white alicorn who is sitting inside the room. "Do you think that is a good idea? If we were not careful enough, instead of being a hope he..., she will be the end of the world." "Only time will tell, but I can tell you I do not regret my choice. Even with what I had cost..." The alicorn responds. "..." There is no response, both of them start looking at each other without a word. They know what they have done, but there is no time for them to regret what they did. Suddenly a black figure appears from the shadow, "I'm sorry, but don't we have more important things to do than caring about them, am I right? We had done what we could; there is no point in worrying. Back to your work!" "Yes, sir!" Both ponies said with an unpleasant tone, but they know this is for the best then back to their working position. After the unicorn left, the shadow figure says, "By the way, Lauren, it seems your spell cost some side effect." "You gotta be kidding me! How!? Tell me you are joking! Misty, you try fooling me, right?" Lauren responded back with nervousness and shock. "Unfortunately, I'm not. And you know I don't do jokes." Misty's reply was expressionless. "I'm going to help them!" Lauren said, standing up and trying to leave, but Misty stopped her. "You interfere enough already, and you know the rule. Now, get back to your documents and start working." Misty says while staring Lauren in the eye. "But! They are my daughters, my subjects!" Lauren said, and you can feel the powerlessness and sadness in her voice. "Listen! I had given you lots of rights that often others don't and let you transport people to Equestria to help them out. Plus, we agreed this would be the last time you meddle in that world, didn't we?" Misty said with an austere tone. "Fine! At least tell me what the side effects are!" Lauren says unhappily. "First, her body slowly becomes anti-magic, won't fully turn anti but pretty close already. Second, her intelligence went down, but because she was a scientist, which only makes her back to the same level as normal people. Third, her soul isn't stable, and I guess it would take at least nine to ten years to stabilize. Lastly, her words are now having the effect of hypnosis, others will believe what she says more easily without realizing it, and it's slowly growing stronger." Misty finishes her words waiting for Lauren to tell her what she thinks. "Oh my god!" Lauren doesn't know what else to say; she stuns like a statue. "Darling, I know you love them, and I do too. However, if you intervene too much, they won't learn a thing; thus, please! Let them be." Misty hugs Lauren trying to make her calm. "You are right; I should let go a long time ago," Lauren says with tears in her eyes. The two ponies were just standing there hugging and finally settled to let them go. Author's Note DUN~ DUN~ dun~ It really isn't that big of a surprise. Anyway, goodbye for now.
Chapter 4 Sunset's VisitPrincess Celestia went back to her office, preparing the lessons that she decided to teach Twilight. She's filled with hope and excitement, and from the bottom of her heart, she thinks this is one of the best days in her life. Halfway through her preparation, she heard a door knock and a voice call out from the other side of the door. "Princess! Are you in there? I had something that I wanted to ask you. Can I come in?" Turns out it was Sunset's Shimmer calling her, and Celestia responded to her, "Of course, please come on in Sunset, it's been a long time since last time you visited me, and I've been missing you for quite a while. Anyway, what's on your mind?" Ever since the mirror event, Sunset has been acting like a stranger toward her, and she feels sad about that, but right now, it doesn't matter cause she comes to talk to her, which means this is her chance to repair their relationship. "That spell from yesterday, what the hay was that? I've never seen anything like it, and I won't accept the answer, "I'm not ready to learn about it!" Princess, I haven't forgiven you about the mirror thing, thus give me answers or goodbye!" Sunset asking with some rude tone. "Sunset, I don't know what that spell was either, but I can tell you what I do know." Celestia feels sorrow that Sunset still hasn't forgiven her action; however, she kept her sadness and told Sunset everything that happened yesterday night. "That's what happened. Oh! By the way, Twilight asked me if she can be my student or not, and I agreed, so why don't you visit her later? Cause you two are going to become classmates." Celestia has a feeling that Twilight can change Sunset to good. She doesn't know why but she has the feeling it will happen. 'A filly even more powerful than you? Bullhay! But if I can use that filly's power wisely *evil smirk* this my chance and the princess even saying I can visit her I can't waste this opportunity.' Sunset thought about a plan to manipulate Twilight, but unfortunately, it won't work. "Well, that's a wonderful idea, princess! I'll visit her right now." Sunset said with a fake grin and left the room. Celestia knows what Sunset is thinking, but she decides not to stop her. 'If it's Twilight, I believe she can do what I can't do and change Sunset's mind.' ***** *Sometimes later, hospital Room 206* "So, this is that filly's room. *deep breath* You got this!" Sunset says, then opens the door. Once she is inside the room, the filly turns toward her and speaks. "Sunset Shimmer? Well, it's good to see you, and frankly, I didn't expect you to come." Sunset stunned a little bit, and she thought to herself, 'How did she know who I am? Did Celestia tell her? Or something else is going on? This filly is definitely more than meets the eye! I gotta be careful!' "How do you know who I am? Did Celestia tell you?" Sunset asked. And the filly replies with, "Tia didn't tell me anything; it's just my sixth sense, that's all." 'Six sense? The hell that six senses tell you that! She is lying! I can tell, but why do I get a feeling of believing what she said?' Sunset is confused; she feels her mind is a total mess which feels like her very core is against some outside force that is changing her, but at the same time, it feels so good that she almost doesn't want to fight back. Sunset shook her head, clearing her mind and asking another question, "Do you like Celestia? How do you feel about her? Do you hate her?" "Nah, I won't say I hate her, but not to the point of liking her either. I would say neutral, and if you asked me, I, to be honest, will say I like her sister more than her." The filly responds with a smile. 'Her sister? Since when did Celestia have a sister? Wait! Why do I even consider she's telling the truth, but her tone makes me feel she's not lying, and she looks kind of cute...! Wait! What do I even think? Stay focused; Sunset, you need to remember what's your goal here.' "Why don't you come in and sit rather than just standing in front of the door?" The filly asked her, and she replied, "That's great!" Sunset is using a new attitude that she never used before. She doesn't know why, but she likes it! Sunset comes inside the room sitting down, and she can't look away from the filly's cute smile. "What do you mean by her sister? I never knew Celestia had a sister. Also, I don't think I got your name, could you tell me?" As Sunset asks, some of the darkness within her breaks, and she has never been this bright before. "My name is Twilight Sparkle, and you can call me Twi, Twilight, or whatever you want and now, for your other question, Tia's sis. Her name is Luna, also known as Nightmare Moon. Have you ever heard of her?" Twilight explains. "No...? Also, why did you think I would believe what you said? We just met for a few minutes, and you told me all of this then accepted me to trust you?" Sunset asked. In fact, deep in her heart, she already accepts what Twilight says is the truth, but she wants to act tough in front of her, so that's why she is asking her. "You mean, you don't believe me?" Twilight says and unintentionally doing sad puppy eyes, which made Sunset's heart jumping up and down fast. "Hey! That's cheating! Using a puppy eye like that!" Sunset complains. "What puppy eye are you talking about?" Twilight asked in confusion with her head bent slightly right. (And Sunset die from cuteness overload The End!)(JK) "You... uh, never mind. *sigh* Tell me more about Celestia's sister." 'Is she really that dumb? But at the same time, I've never felt this joyful before.' Despite being a little frustrated, Sunset is still enjoying her status. "She is the princess of the night, and she wanders the dream realm. About one thousand years ago, she was jealous of Tia, due to that turning herself into Nightmare Moon, and Celestia had no choice but to banish her to the moon..." Twilight keeps on saying everything she knows about Luna; obviously, she didn't mention anything about the show or the future, while Sunset stays silent, appreciating the marvelous story that Twilight is telling. 'Is it real or fake?' Sunset doesn't care! She's just enjoying the story very much. "And I think that's all of the things I know about Luna. Hey, Sunset, do you want to be my friend?" Twilight said. "Friend...?" Sunset felt something within her triggered by this word. "Yes! Friend! Do you not want to be my friend?" Twilight says with a sad tone. "No! I would love to be your friend." Sunset speaks nervously. "Yeah!" Twilight cheer with a cute face. 'Oh my! She's so cute! I feel like I forget something important. Nah, just let it go then.' Sunset thinks. "I would like to stay chatting, but I have to do something else," Sunset said with sorrow in her eyes. "It's ok! Don't worry about it!" Twilight responds with a smile. With that, Sunset leaves the room. Author's Note I will be busy in August, so sorry there might be fewer new chapters.
Chapter 5 Fourth Wall Broken and Princess Mi Amore Cadenza Part OneAuthor's Note After one busy August, I'm back to weekly updates anyway enjoy. Chapter 5 Fourth Wall Broken and Princess Mi Amore Cadenza Part One After Sunset left the room, Twilight thought to herself, 'Welp, I know that timeline will be super screw right now, but I don't care~! Let's get things even more fucked up! Woo hoo! However, did I do the right thing...? Mmmmm... OK! Enough thinking starts exercising.' Twilight starts jumping in circles because A, training her movement, B, making herself even more like Pinkie Pie, and C, she has nothing else better to do. After a few hours of training, Twilight gets better and better, which made her happier and happier and, at the same time, more Pinkier. "Just how much do you like the word 'er'? Why keep using those words? Couldn't you use some different words like fantastic to describe my hopping exercise?" Twilight breaks the fourth wall and talks to me...!? "Why are you so surprised? The moment you want to make me be even more like Pinkie Pie, you should see this coming. Git gud narrator! Uh..., that was kinda mean, sorry!" Fine! I suck, and you are great! Is that ok? Why don't you being the narrator then!? You so mean இдஇ! I'm out!!!! "Uh...? That means the narrator won't be back for quite a while. So everypony, or should I say the audience who read this novel. I, Avery, wait! In fact, I, Twilight, will read this story for you with Pinkie Pie style!" Wait! Who allows you to use my style, and not to mention fourth wall breaking is my job. Pinkie, this isn't the time you show up! Follow the plot, please! But you're stealing my job, and don't forget that my name is already on the tag so tell me why I can't show up early? That's because the author loves Twilight X Pinkie ship and plans on doing that in the future. I don't really care to be honest. What about you, Pinkie? I don't care either! Suddenly, a doorknock interrupts my debate with Pinkie Pie. Well, Pinkie, we leaving this discussion till next time, what do you think? Okie-dokie-lokie. After Pinkie bounces off, the voice outside says, "Hello, Twilight? Can I go in? I brought some launch." Oh right! I haven't eaten launch yet. "Come in!" The door opened a pink pony standing there, and I know who that pony is; she is Princess Mi Amore Cadenza or Cadance for short. "Princess Cadance, I didn't expect you to come. Anyway, since you bring launch, why don't we talk while eating? Cause I can't think of other reason why you bring launch besides you want to chat with me." "Oh, uh... sure!" It seems she is shocked by my behavior. *** A few minutes ago *** "Sorry, Princess Cadance, we have an emergency, and I think that since you wish to visit Twilight, could you bring this bucket of ice cream to her as well? Things are getting out of hooves." "It's not a problem; I love to help, but what happened? Why things getting out of hooves, and is there anything I could help after I finishing my visit with Twilight?" "Princess, there is nothing you need to concern about. These are our jobs, so if you can bring this to her, which is the best help that you could do for us, and leave the rest to us." "But...!" "Princess! Forgive me for my language. In the end, you are still only one pony with fourth hooves. You aren't God; you can't do everything, and aren't you still a young filly? Princess or not, if we rely on you too much, what kind of grow-up are we?" "Sorry, I didn't think of any of that. In my mind, all I think of is helping ponies." "Don't worry about it... Here! The ice cream bucket she's asking for, and her room is room 206. Also, she seems depressed when she knows her magic resistance is too strong that blocks her magic casting. Thus, I don't recommend you talking anything related to magic." "I will keep that in mind. Thank you, doctor." "You welcome." *** Present *** 'She doesn't feel depressed at all; in fact, she seems happy? Maybe she's trying to act tough. Anyway, first thing first, give her the ice cream.' "The doctors are busy, so they asked me to bring the ice cream." "I see. I was wonder why it was so late and what do doctors busy at?" 'Aren't regular filly usually start complaining at the situation like this? But the way she behavior and talk makes her so mature.' "I'm sorry, I don't know what they are busy at." "You don't need to apologize. I mean, it's not your job. Why should I be angry at something obviously not inside your field of operation? And didn't you say you bring launch? Eating ice cream before meals isn't great. Come on! Let's eat together." 'This filly definitely not one ordinary filly!' *** Somewhere *** Record -1 "Do you think what you do is justice?" "@#$%^^&^&^@#*(*^&&^$%_)#@$$%%#$%$@#" "What a shame! I didn't wish to fight you old friend!" "@#$%%^^@@#4#" "I see!

"What kind of bad ideas are you planing again. *sigh* I will call her, but will she come or not it's up to her." Thestral responds. "I'm sure she will come we calling each other sister in souls aren't for nothing!" T.P. answer happily.

"God is another type of devil since there is no difference between absolute justice and evil," T.P. says. "Yeah, you are right." Thestral reply.
