My little Pony Friendship is Magic: Bell of the Multiverse
Ch8 Learning about my other self
Previous Chapter“Welcome to the family, dear!” smiled a young lady who was covered in darkness as she shook a purple hand.
“Thanks for giving me a chance!” smiled the short purple young teenager, who had spiky punk green hair and wearing old and beat up black suit.
“It’s nothing dear! Everyone deserves a chance. Even with your…” the lady stop talking as she held a paper up and watched as it unfolded and revealing a long list “...rap sheet, you earn a chance. It’s not easy for everyone today. With jobs paying less and all that, Mr. Smith. You can start when you move in. Sweetie will be happy to have a butler.”
The boy stood up and bowed to her as he put his hat back on “Thank you again and please, call me Spike. My friends call me that!”
“Spike?” whispered Fluttershy as she stepped into view and watched as time passed, fast forwarding to Spike wearing a butler uniform and doing cleaning around the house and other stuff, until time stopped in a certain event. She watched as Spike picked up a small metal object and placed it near his ear and quickly went pale as he mutter something and dashed out the door and into a metal objected and drove off into the busy street. Fluttershy could hear ringing as her chest started to hurt. With each beat of her heart, she could hear crying. She grabbed her chest and could feel something warm on her hoof. She slowly pulled back and could see blood and a stabbed wound in her chest. She screamed as the darkness filled the world.
“AAAAAAHHHHHHH!” screamed Fluttershy as she rose up and covered in sweat. She looked at her chest and was shock to see her new body. It was different now. She has large breast and somewhat chubby body as she removed her blanket. She was confused by her new body as she felt it and testing out her new hands and wondering where her wings went “Where am I? Girls!?” called out Fluttershy as she realized she was in a tent.
Shy crawled out and found herself in the woods and a camp fire was burning as another tent was set up near it. She raised up and walked over to the other tent and found it empty. She looked around and found no one else here, so she walked over to the camp fire and sat in front of it and just waited but unknown to her, someone was watching from behind a tree. The figured slowly made its way over to Shy and slowly reached out and tap her shoulder.
“AAAAAHHHHHHH!” yelled Shy as she jumped into the air from fear and the figure did the same but didn’t yelled.
“…!”
Both ran towards each tent and hid inside. Shy was under the blanket and slowly peek out of the tent and could see the other tent shaking with fear, this made Shy removed her blanket and walk back outside.
“...hello?” whispered Shy as she slowly walked to the tent “Are you prepares the one who saved me?”
The tent stopped shaking as it heard Shy kind voice and a pair of yellow hands came out and started to move around, like it was a signal, which confused Shy as she watched the hand movements.
“Errr. I’m sorry but I don’t understand? Is this some kind of hello?” asked Shy as she tried to mimic the hand movements
The hands stopped moving and returned back into the tent and soon, two light blue eyes appeared as the tent opened a bit and looked at her in amazement.
“Oh my, you have beautiful eyes! I have the same eye colors too!” smiled Shy as she pointed at her own blue eyes.
The person eyes blinked a few times before disappearing back into the tent. Shy could only sigh as she tapped on the tent hatch but was taken off guard as it opened and crawling out, was…
“Me!?” whispered Shy as her other self stood up and smiled. Shy could see her other self was wearing a yellow rain coat and blue outdoor pants.
“…”
Shy watched as her copy did the hand movements again but quickly stopped as she realized it wasn’t helping and started to think before she lid up with joy as she had a idea, she returned to the tent and came back with a note pad and wrote something down and showed it off.
“Hi! My name is Florina. Before we talk, can I ask you get dress in these?” wrote Florina as she picked up a bag and handed it to Fluttershy.
Shy took the bag and did what she was told and was wearing a green sweater and a long brown skirt. With that done, Florina wrote another message and Shy spoke it out loud.
“It looks good on you...I haven’t catch your name miss?”
Shy gasp in her rudeness and gave her name. Florina greeted back and wrote on “That’s a nice name Ms. Shy. Now, you are wondering why you are talking to your self here but from what John as had told me so far before disappearing, you are from another universe and was blasted towards me and he caught you from the sky. To me, this is very weird but hanging around John, this is another Monday.”
Florina sat down near the camp fire and patted the floor near her to signal for Fluttershy to sit down with her, which she did. She watched as Fluttershy was trying to understand everything.
“So, this is another world? It explains why I look like this.”
“John told me because whatever you looked like in your world, can’t pass over into another world. Our universe can’t handle it.”
“Is that so...if you don’t mind but who is John?’ asked Shy as she watched Florina toss some sticks into the fire.
“John is my…” she stopped writing as she turned bright red, she soon started to write again “My soon to be husband. He’s a funny but weird guy. Of course, he’s a god or something like that. He said he’s been through this before with world hoppers. He’s away right now, no idea where or when he'll comes back. Sorry you couldn’t meet him.”
“It’s okay, I understand, I have a great friend who’s like that as well. Always doing something in his random way.” giggled Shy
“Looks like we can relate to something other than being the same person, huh?” wrote Florina as she gave Shy a smile and kept on writing “Is there any questions you want answered?.”
“What is this world called?”
“Well, my planet is called Earth and we’re in the United States.”
“Why are you writing than saying it...if it’s okay to ask?”
“It’s fine. I can’t speak, ever since I was born, I couldn’t talk at all. My parents didn’t like that and hated me for it.” Florina lowered the notepad and stared off into the campfire…
A young Florina was playing with her dolls in the living as her mother, having raspberry color hair and wearing a factory uniform as she just picked up her daughter from school and was going to her job, was smoking outside. Her mother gave some quick glares at her before she noticed her husband drove into the driveway in his truck. Florina watched as her mother put out the cigarette and quickly walked pass her fat bald husband, who was a bit drunk as he stepped out.
“Where’s dinner you whore?”
“Fuck you.” yelled the mother as she entered the truck and drove off, leaving her husband cursing at her before heading inside and stopping in front of his daughter, who smiled.
“Not gonna say hello to your father?”
Florina started to take out her little note pad but she was slapped across the face by her father, who looked at her in anger.
“Bitch, stop pretending you can’t speak already!” yelled her father as he hit her again “GET OUT OF HERE AND BUY ME SOME DINNER!” he ordered as he toss money at her feet and headed to the living room and turned on the TV.
Florina shed some tears as she held her cheek and grabbing the cash in her other hand. Before she left, she left a note for father, saying she was sorry.
Fluttershy started to cry after hearing that story and hugged Florina.
“I’m so sorry! What heartless parents! Treating you like that!” said Shy as she kept hugging her but was softly push away as Florina wiped Shy tears and writing another thing in her pad.
“Thank you but even with parents being heartless like that, one day, I found....”
Florina, being nine years old, was walking home after being some frozen dinner from the gas station and wearing a yellow hoody, to hide her black eye. She stopped near the park and noticed a small white baby bunny as it limp quickly pass her and into the park. She noticed it was hurt and quickly followed it. After a long chase, she finally corner the baby rabbit near a large tree and slowly knee down and opened one of the frozen meals and dropped a frozen carrot slice on the ground. The baby rabbit slowly limp its way to the food and started to eat it. Florina waited as it was done and reached out with her hand and watched as the rabbit smelled her hand and warmly rubbed its face on it. She smiled as the rabbit trusted her and even hop into her lap and curled up and rested. Florina scooped up the rabbit and placed it inside her hoody front pocket and was about to leave when she could hear voices not to far away.
(Wait, is this how you met Angel?)
(Yes. She was the cutest bunny I could ever ask for.)
(...Your Angel is a girl? My is a boy.)
(Is your Angel grown?)
(Yes, he’s quite a handful sometimes. What about yours?)
(Let me finish my story first, okay?)
She slowly peek behind the tree and could see two kids running around an open field dirt track. The boy was falling behind as the rainbow haired girl was far ahead and turned her whole around and was running backwards as she spoke to the boy to hurry up. Florina kept watching as she enjoyed the race. She hid behind the tree a bit and watched until it started to get dark. Both kids got their things and was about to leave when the rabbit poked its head out of the hoody pocket and jumped out and limp its way over to the kids, who took notice and bet down to it but it slowly backed away and lead them over to Florina, who tried her best to hide even more but the rainbow hair girl noticed her and called out to her.
“Yo, is this your pet rabbit? Poor lil dude is hurt.” said the girl as she pointed at the hurt leg.
Florina slowly stepped out from behind the tree and carefully grabbed the bunny and tried to not make eye contact with the girl and boy but the girl walked over and tried to get good look at her but Florina used her hoody and long bangs to hide her face.
“I...i think I seen you before? Don’t you live down the street from my house?” questioned the girl as she finally backed away “This dork here is called Jim.” grin the girl as she pointed over to Jim, who sighed and waved at Florina “and my name is Diana! But please call me Dash!” smiled Dash as she took out her hand and waited it to be shaken by Florina.
(Wait, Dash!? Rainbow Dash!?)
(From your reaction, you have a “Dash” too?)
(Yes, we’re childhood friends!)
(I see. What about Jim?)
(No, sorry. I never met a “Jim”.)
(Really? Well, they were my first friends ever. We met at the park everyday and became close. They were there for me, from the good and the bad.)
A year after meeting Dash and Jim, Florina, grabbing some carrots from the left over frozen meals, headed up to her room as her father was sleeping in his lazy boy chair, but unknown to her, he opened one eye and watched as her. Florina stepped inside her room and looked around, before her room were mostly empty but now? It was filled with stuff that her friends got her like posters, plants, even photos of themselves. It was filled with life. She walked over and on the floor was a wooden little house. She set the carrots down and hopping out, was Angel, as she sniffed out the meal and started to eat. Florina smiled as she watched her, as Angel grew up and wasn’t a baby no more. She was big and strong, even acts like a queen sometimes, asking for more food or petting time. She petted her on her head and Angel stopped eating and smiled as she felt the warm hand on her head.
“Playing with that damn dirty rat again I see?” said Florina father in a cold tone from the doorway
Florina quickly turned around and her heart was racing as her anxiety sky rockets as she saw her father standing there, with a beer bottle in hand. He took another ship and drunkenly walked over and glared at her.
“If your mother was still around, she would killed that damn thing! Bitch left me because of you!” yelled the father as he smack Florina across the face “Stupid bitch! Say something!? Say it was your damn fault!”
Angel, who ran back to her little house, came running back out and jumped onto Florina father hand and bit down, causing the man to scream in pain and dropping the bottle onto the floor. He grabbed the rabbit by its ears and turned to his daughter, who was frozen in fear, and took out a pocket knife.
“Damn rat! I should had done this sooner!” angry yelled the man as brought the knife close to the rabbit neck but stopped and glared at his daughter, who was crying. He smiled as he spoke “Admit it to me, right here and right now. Say it and I’ll let this rat live. I know you can speak, you stupid bitch.”
Florina snapped out of her frozen fear and quickly crawled over to her father and begged not to kill Angel as she grabbed his shirt but her father backed hand her and ordered her to speak as place the blade at the rabbit neck harder, that blood started to ooze out a bit. She tried to say something, anything but her nothing came out of her mouth. Her eyes started to tear up as she tried her hardness.
“Even now, you won’t speak?” sadly said her father as he looked at her “Dumb bitch.”
Florina helplessly watched as her father not only slit Angel throat but kept cutting and until Angel bloody lifeless body hit the floor. She just sat there as she looked at the headless body.
“Make a good luck charm, dumb bitch.” laughed her father as he threw Angel head at her knees and walked back down stairs.
Florina slowly grabbed Angel remains and softy cried as she held dear pet. She wanted to say sorry, she wanted to talk...scream out loud!...but nothing came out…
“Angel!? No!” cried Fluttershy after reading Florina story. She hugged her tightly and continued to cry “How could your father do that?”
Florina shed some tears as she let Fluttershy held her. After a few minutes, Fluttershy was back in her camping chair and waited as her different version was writing on her pad again and finally showed it to her…
It was night time, as Florina walked down the dark sidewalk as rain fell across her body and the place around her. She wasn’t even wearing a raincoat as she walk and held the remains of Angel in a paper bag. She shield the bag from the rain as she finally stopped in front of a white house. She looked at it and was about to walk towards but stopped as she didn’t want to bother her friend.
“Flutters!?” called out Dash from down the sidewalk, as she was soaked head to toe but under Jim umbrella “What’s wrong?”
Her and Jim walked up to her and placed the umbrella under her.
“Dash I understand, she forgets stuff as she’s training but you? What happened? Did the wind blow your umbrella away?” asked Jim as he push Dash out under of the umbrella to make room for Florina.
“Hey!” angry spoke Dash as she forced her way under the umbrella but stopped as she noticed the bruise on Florina cheek and carefully touch it and grew in anger as she clutch her fist “Was it your dad again!? That asshole!”
Florina didn’t look at her friends and just stood as tears started to fall down her cheek. Her friends started to get worry, as they believe her dad must had done something more worst to her. Wasn’t until Jim the bag as dark spots were forming at the bottom of it.
“...shit, he didn’t?” questioned Jim as he tried to touch the bag but Florina stepped back in rejecting.
Dash didn’t understand at first but she too noticed the bag and carefully stepped towards her friend and told her it be okay, she wanted to look in the bag. Florina fell to her knees and opened the bag as her friends finally saw inside. Dash eyes were burning red as she what was inside and wanted to run off and hurt Florina dad but Jim touch her shoulder, to signal at her that wasn’t the right time to do that but to help their friend. Dash snapped out of her rage and closed the bag and hugged Florina.
“This is the last time! He won’t hurt you no more!” whispered Dash as she held her tight and feeling her shake from fear and sadness “I promise…”
“After that, Dash got her parents involved and after some time, the CPS came and got me out of there. Dad was arrested and sent to jail for a few years and Dashie parents took me in. They treated me like a second daughter. Dash is like a sister to me.” wrote Florina.
Fluttershy watched as Florina took out an old metal object and it lit up. Revealing photos of Florina and this world version of Dash, when they were teenagers. She saw photos of Dash parents, this world version Gilda and Spitfire, as the two posing with an older Dash. Soon, she could see photos of Jim, some when he was young and old. One picture had him and Dash at their wedding night, Dash pushed his face into the cake. Fluttershy felt happy for her other Dash, as she found somepony and looked so happy. Soon, photos of Dash being pregnant pop up, leaving Fluttershy blushing as she look closer. Florina noticed and wrote in her pad again.
“I acted the same way when I first saw her like that. Dashie was so embarrass, that she didn’t photos taken of her after.” wrote Florina as she smiled at the photos.
Soon, they came across the baby photos of Sophia and this caught Fluttershy off guard, as she noticed it was Scootaloo.
“In this world, Scootaloo is Dash’s daughter?” thought Fluttershy as she didn’t say anything about the photos.
After finishing, Florina asked about Fluttershy and her life. Soon, Fluttershy talked about meeting Rainbow Dash or about how Dash created the sonic rainboom, soon it was meeting her whole friends and their adventures, as the fire slowly burned out.
“Where did you take me?” asked Sophia, as she noticed she was in large house but the creature ignore her and let her go and started to call out for its mother.
“MOTHER!?”
“I’m up stairs…” weakly said the female voice.
Soon enough the creature flew up the stairs and hurry down the long hallway. Scoots got up from the floor and quickly ran to the front door and opened it.
“What?” confusedly said Scoots as she witness the view in front of her.
Outside was a forest with ton of pink butterflies, as they swarm across the trees and hitting the house. What’s more weird, she could see cracking across the rainbow sky. She quickly shut the door and turned around to see a tiny creature, it was just like the tall one but had super long orange hair, that it covered it eyes.
“Who are you?” asked Scoots as she waved at it
“Sleepy…” said the creature as it drop to the floor and started to sleep.
“What?”
“So, you brought this girl here?” questioned a female voice from before.
Scoots looked up and saw a white skin woman, wearing a purple dress and a stupid big hat, as it covered her head, at the top of the stairs.
“Forgive me, mother…” said the tall creature as it bowed behind her
“It’s okay, take her to the basement. We can’t let her go back home, she can ruin everything like that orange pony tried to do.” said the lady as she grabbed her forehead in pain.
“Got her good tho!” said the small creature as it woke up and hovered in the air “Won’t hurt mother again, even if she does come back!”
“You did well my dear, I’m proud of you.” smiled the lady as she walked down the stairs and hugged the small creature, who fell asleep again.
The tall creature quickly flew down the stairs and grabbed Scoots. Within seconds, Scoots found herself in a dark cell, with solid gray walls to the sides and behind her, also hardly any light in this cell. She ran to the bars and cried out for help but no one answered her...until she heard a young voice called out to her.
“Scootaloo? Is that you? Gosh darn it, you didn’t escape after all…I was worried since Smalley went after ya, after we broke out of our cells and met with that girl upstairs...” said the young voice from the other side of the wall
“Scootaloo? Mom number 2 said that too. Who are you?” asked Scoots as she tried to look into the other cell.
“Wait, mom number 2? What the hey are you talking about Scootaloo?” replied the voice as she stepped into dim light.
Scoots eyes went wide as she saw a light yellow small pony, with red mane and with a ribbon, standing there, who also had the same reaction as she noticed Scoots.
“Huh? You aren’t my friend...but you sound just like her…wait, didn’t the other girl also sounded like...” questioned the pony as she started to realize something but was stopped as a hand appeared in front of face.
“My name is Sophia! But my nickname is Scoots. What’s your name, little pony?”
“The name is Applebloom. Nice to meet ya!” smiled Applebloom as shake the hand with her hoof
