A young adult by the name of Catherine Summer Rose at the age of 27 start wandering around Anime Con. As she does that she seems to be wearing a cosplay outfit of her own design. She looked like she had pink and purple sleeves with a black button-up shirt and a light blue vest but came with a pocket watch, along with black yoga pants and black men's formal shoes with a tote bag with her. Catherine seems to be looking at many various objects and spots a person cosplaying as a merchant from a certain game. She walks over to him and says hello. She could take your stock she asked him for a picture and if he's interested in people's writing. She continues to get positive Reformation from him and asked if he wants to read one of the books she has written yet not published. The books that she pulled out of her tote bag looks like an old book with the title etched into it called the 13 shires. The merchant ask her if she was cosplaying that's one of the characters. Catherine confirmed his guess and told him she was cosplaying ask 4 tailed cats human form the ruler of all rulers when it comes to shire's. The merchant was interested enough to read it as she sat down and you allowed him to do so. Few hours gone by and she thanked him he seems to be enjoying the book so much and acts if he has anything interesting for sale to repay him for his kindness. The merchants seem delighted at the thought began showing his Wares. Catherine found many things interesting so she purchased them. As she is walking away the merchant says good luck and have a wonderful time. She just smiled back to the merchant with a wide grin and says back at you may we meet again. Soon everything faded to Black.

Chapter 2: New Home Introductions

Waking up from her slumber Catherine summer open her eyes and immediately noticed having fur. Looking around she see a forest before her, as Catherines mind begins to process things around her she notices that she's actually in the everfree forest. Looking up she sees Moon with a face on it. Knowing this she's either at the start of the season or five years before it, her hope is it being 5 years before so she doesn't have to meet any of the main cast. As she continues to look around she continues to notice many peculiar things, one of them being her being a 4 tailed cat. Just like the one in the book that she written, so she concluded that the merchant must have liked her book so much that she turned her into her character queen of all queens the 4 tailed cat ruler of all shire's. Concluding like she's now in Equestria in the everfree forest she goes deeper in the start and create her own home. Catherine brings along her satchel that has her books in it as well as the stuff she bought. After 30 minutes to 3 hours found a perfect spot where she can start her own Magical Garden Grove to call her home.

She's even found the castle of the great Alicorn sisters as well as a strange crystalline tree that Catherine recognized as the tree of Harmony. The most interesting thing that she did with made a friend with Zecora about 6 months ago. Catherine also soon found out nevermind can instantly filter out any language if she truly tried, not only that but you could also speak, read, and hearing their language in doing so. As of right now she is having tea with the delightful riddle filled zebra. As I continued on with their banter of riddles and answers.
[Zecora] I have an eye but I cannot see you'll head inside when you see me
[Catherine] Storm now try this one. They tried to beat me they try in vein and when I win I end the pain.
[Zecora] Death. I can be cracked I can be played I can be told I can be made.
[Catherine] it's either a sentence or a joke but I go with joke. Buy moon or by Sun I shall be found you know I am undone if there's no light around.
[Zecora] Shadow. My first is high my second damn my whole a tie a writer's cramp.
[Catherine] oh this one is easy it's a hyphen. Let's try this one on for size. It cannot be seen it cannot be felt it cannot be heard it cannot be smelt Lies Beneath the stars and under Hills and empty holes it fills comes first follows after ends kills laughter.
[Zecora] Darkness. It's small but larger than a b and Advil as a flea it hums but does not buzz and it's not covered with us it's a small collector of Juicy flower nectar.
[Catherine] well I guess it's a small bird have to think about this more. Bird that drinks nectar how about a hummingbird. Oh how about this one for a riddle. I mulch before I made a thousand flu my fault can bring Victory but no one would shoot me the wind is my lover one-legged I am named me and see me at home in the sky.
This went on for a few more hours as they both prattle on back and forth to each other. After a while Catherine had to bid zecora good night as she went back home to a magical Grove. catherine hums to herself back at home as she thought about the timeline and what she will do with it.

A young pastel pink filly started to run in the middle of the night to get away from her so called hometown where she grew up in. She ran faster and faster until days went by and she started to wobble from exhaustion and hunger. She saw a cave up ahead and decided to go there to rest. When she awoke from her slumber she went into a bag her bag has her stomach growled from Hunger and brought out some oats and a canteen filled with water. This young filly name is Starlight glimmer. Starlight began to get up and continue on with her journey. Many days have passed going on in months right now Starlight is Scavenging for food and what seems to be a forest. She has learned many things during her travels. One of them being the bane of her existence sitting right there on her flank. She have thought of ways to get rid of it one of them was to spell she has found but it left nasty side effects as well as not giving her what she wanted. All the spell did was remove her key mocking gave her new one that of an equal sign and it wasn't even permanent. She found disgust in the cutie mark both of them really. So Starlight saw other ways to get rid of it and not have any of those side effects as well as making her eternally what most would consider it an insult but to her a compliment will be a blank flank. As she continued on into her journey many days continue to pass even as he passes through a mountain searching for answers until finally she got one. Came from an old Journal inside of the cave in a secret passage, apparently some pony else has thought of the same has she had found a way permanently get rid of cutie marks, but because of our research they were outcasted and kicked out. She believes many ponies if they found this consider this forbidden Magic since it got rid of a cutie mark. She stayed in that cave for many months on end you cast this spell on her self. After a while Starlight succeeded in your quest I'm getting rid of her cutie mark and no side effects seemed to happen. A magic to not weaken nor did herself seem to be muted like with the other spell. Her cutie mark just seem to have disappeared like it never have existed in the first place. Happy with her accomplishment she jumped in Joy. Many years have passed since that day and starlight has grown up into a beautiful Mare. Making herself at home in the forest Beyond Equestria.

What if.. (2)

1. Let's do a spike one instead. What if Spike the Dragon was not hatched by Twilight Sparkle? What If instead Spike was hacked by Zecora? What would spikes life be like instead? Would Spike the Dragon being grossed in zebra culture and start talking in rhyme? What do you have Tribal paint marks all over his body? How different would the story go? And how would the Mane 6 reaction be towards Spike when they meet him?

2. Let's do a zephyr Breeze. What if the Zephyr Breeze was supportive of Fluttershy instead of being self-absorbed? What if Zephyr Breeze was a bit overprotective of his family instead of himself? What if Zephyr Breeze was an asexual instead of flirting with Rainbow Dash? How different would Fluttershy's life be if that happened? How different would Rainbow Dash be towards him? How would the story go and how different would Cannon be?

3. Let's do Scootaloo. What if Scootaloo parents we're actually from Canterlot? What if Scootaloo ran away to her aunt to get away from it all? What would happen if Ponyville was actually a safe haven for her? What is she hid that she was from Canterlot? How would the story go? What difference would it make to cannon? And if it was revealed how would the cmc and others react?

It all started on one stormy night in ponyville. Twilight and her friends were running to get to cover. As the lightening thunders and clashes we see the silhouette of a Unicorn. As the Twilight and the other were getting close to the tree house a stray thunder bolt hit a tree causing it to burst a flame and knock a large branch on top of them pinning them down. Before Twilight could levitate the large branch a bright light hit her horn knocking her out. The last thing she her was her friends screaming for her. As all this was going on said unicorn teleport her and her captures away. Using a spell to keep them knocked out it was revealed to be Lavender Swirl who did all this. In doing so she ripped their cutie marks off and turned them into little fillies. Moving on she mixed and unraveled each cutie marks. Continuing on she also slowly messed up their magical signatures so no one would recognize them. Lavender Swirl then took out six unique gems rotating around one of each filly as they slowly merge and change them into something else. Twilight's body turned into a purple amethyst for both her fur and hair color getting rid of her two strips in her hair and her wings disappearing from her body, as a real purple amethyst appeared onto her flank giving a sparkle effect.

The Final one to transform was Fluttershy as her body turned into a Greenish Yellow Peridot for both her fur and hair as her hair shortens to be more wavy and proper, as a real greenish yellow peridot appeared onto her flank. Lavender Swirl grins as she holds on last Gem with her magic inserting it into her very being a purple diamond making sure she is half Gem half pony changing her flank to have a real purple diamond in her flank as her cutie mark changes to a swirling vortex around the diamond as wings appeared onto her back.

You will sometimes meet other gems that will have similar jobs as you and other Amethyst.
