My Past Is Complicated

I stood in front of the portal with my family and my friends, new and old. Twilight smiled at me as she gave me a hug.

“So this it the portal huh?” Berry asked as she stroked the statue. “Interesting.”

“Yep!” I smiled as I smelled lavender shampoo radiating off of Twilight.

“Hopefully we meet again under less crazy and life threatening circumstances,” Twilight said as I hugged her back. The other Equestrians shrugged and joined in the hug.

“You know, right after I get used to this body we are going back home,” Moondancer grumbled. I let out a chuckle at that as we separated.

“You guys are always welcome here,” I said. “After all, the sirens have enough rooms. I’m sure mom wouldn’t mind letting you guys stay for a few days.”

“Just tell me a few days before hand so I can make sure we don’t have any other plans,” Mom agreed.

“Bet,” Equestrian Lyra said. “Did I use the word right?” Vinyl grinned and wrapped an arm around her.

“Yep!”

“Well well Princess. We really got to do this again sometime,” Adagio purred as she stood next to Twilight. Twilight turned faintly red as I chuckled.

“Wait!” Earth Minuette exclaimed and stared at her double. “Is there a Berry Punch in Equestria?”

“Uh yeah. We are good friends,” Equestrian Minuette admitted with a blush.

“You guys aren’t dating?” Earth Minuette asked in confusion.

“She wants to date Berry Punch,” Lemon Hearts explained. “She doesn’t know if Berry likes her or not but I do.”

“How is that?” Earth Minuette asked with an eyebrow. Lemon Hearts smirked and pointed to the two blue hearts and green one on the edge of her yellow dress.

“It’s my special talent,” she answered. “I can tell when ponies have feelings for each other. Similar to how Princess Cadence can know when two ponies are in love.”

“Fascinating,” Berry grinned and winked at her daughter then her sisters. “Think I can use you sometime to find out if my sisters and daughter likes someone?”

“Hey!” Mom glared at her. Lemon Hearts chuckled and nodded.

“Yeah sure. Looks like my special talent works here too,” she winked at Twilight and Adagio.

“Someone was rather forward to a certain pony princess,” Sonata smirked.

“Yeah,” Aria chimed in. “Hurry back Princess. Don’t want Adagio to get cold at night.”

“Why you little-” Adagio grumbled before walking around to the other side of the statue with a red face.

“Think we were a little too teasing with her?” Sonata asked worriedly.

“Nah she’ll be fine,” Aria waved a hand.

“It’s time for us to go now,” Twinkleshine pressed her hand against the portal as it disappeared. “You can always come visit. After all, you know where I live.”

“Where we all live,” Lemon Hearts added.

“Me and Moondancer are gonna try to research why you guys ponied up and the Rainbooms haven’t been able to,” Twilight promised as Twinkleshine and Minuette disappeared into the portal.

“Woah,” Berry mumbled as she and Cherry stared with shocked faces. “Didn’t see that one coming.” Twilight and the others quickly stepped through and disappeared.

“Alright,” Trixie shrugged. “Shows over. Trixie is going to get a milkshake.”

“I’m in,” Lavender shrugged.

“Can I go?” I asked mom hopefully. She chuckled and gave a nod.

“Go have fun with your friends. Be home by nine.”

“So I have something to say,” Lyra said around her straw. “I had this dream.”

“Okay Martin Lurther King,” Vinyl snickered as Lyra flicked her.

“He said I have a dream idiot not I had a dream. Anyway, I had a weird dream that I was talking to myself and said I represented her or something. It was weird.”

“You too?” Derpy asked in confusion.

“I had it too,” Bon Bon admitted.

“Same here,” Vinyl and Octavia chimed in.

“Trixie and her friends had them too,” Trixie announced as I stared at them.

“What did the dream say?” I asked curiously. “In Equestria, dreams are a way of being told information by spirits. Hell, Luna can visit people in their dreams.”

“Uh said I was Loyalty or something,” Lyra shrugged. I snorted a laugh.

“I can see that.”

“Something about me being generosity I think?” Bon Bon swirled her milkshake around.

“Wait let me guess the rest,” I said. “Derpy is obviously kindness, Vinyl is obviously laughter though Lyra could have gotten that one too. And Octavia is honesty?” The three girls stared in shock before nodding.

“Yeah,” Octavia said.

“Interesting,” I mused. “Those are the five elements of harmony. I didn’t know they could find new bearers. We don’t really know much about them.”

“Trixie’s dream said she represented trust or something. Don’t know what that means,” Trixie admitted.

“Well you did say you trusted me that I wasn’t anon a miss,” I answered.

“Lavender said she was told she was equality or something. I was told I’m ambition I think,” Fuchsia said with her hand wrapped around a water bottle. I rubbed the back of my head in confusion.

“I don’t know what to say about the last three,” I finally said. “Maybe the Elements have sub elements? Like lesser known ones. Like I represent empathy which isn’t as well known as loyalty or honesty. Trixie did show me a lot of trust, Lavender treated me as an equal and Fuchsia does have a lot of ambition when she puts her mind to something.”

“Well you’re not lesser known to us,” Bon Bon smiled.

“Agreed!” Sonata chirped excitedly. “And if anyone tries to mess with you again, I know karate!” She stood up instantly and I caught her milkshake before it fell. “Hiya!” She started making ninja noises as she kicked and punched around the shop before Adagio caught her fist in her hand.

“Calm down girl. Don’t go breaking anything. You know you’re only allowed to do that sort of thing out doors.” We all burst out laughing as Sonata sat down in her seat with a sheepish expression as a blush started to spread across her face.

“Okay sorry Dagi.”
