Intermission 2: Strange Dreams
Previous ChapterNext ChapterArea: Scootaloo's dream
Year: 1800
Scootaloo trotted through the oddly welcome pure black area of her dream. It'd been two years since Castlemania had appeared and she had gotten used to her life.
She'd become a hero. Whenever the mane 6 were needed, they just sent Scootaloo. Scootaloo nearly killed whoever attempted evil and they regretted ever pissing the filly off.
Scootaloo kept trotting, enjoying the pure black area with no hint of fear. Scootaloo eventually found a mirror of sorts. She looked through and saw... Sweetie Belle. But... it wasn't the same Sweetie Belle she'd known. It was different. This one had wings and a blotch of black, almost night sky looking, ink.
The two stared at each other. When Scootaloo reached out to the mirror... she fell. But she was still in the blackness. Scootaloo picked herself up and found she was on the opposite end and saw the same alicorn Sweetie Belle covered in blood with a bunch of strange unknown monsters behind her. Scootaloo grabbed her rapier in her magic and got ready to fight and the Sweetie Belle grabbed a mechnical looking whip in her magic.
But no fight came... "What in the fresh hell?" They said at the same time. Scootaloo and the alicorn Sweetie Belle attempted to walk towards the other but again, they just changed sides of the mirror. When Scootaloo looked back she saw herself this time as she looked at her hooves which were now an ivory...
The reflection of her walked off and Scootaloo tried to follow... but she couldn't go beyond the mirror. She smacked her hoof against the mirror... again and again... until... it fractured. Showing herself again... fractured. She saw the alicorn Sweetie Belle, fractured. But the alicorn Sweetie Belle unfractured after a bit while Scootaloo... she remained fractured.
Scootaloo found a blue ship with a common imagery of stars all about it fly down and the alicorn Sweetie Belle climbed onto it... and the mirror faded away. "What... was that? Am I... seeing something I shouldn't be? She looked... happy towards the end... her world... it looked untarnished by pain and hate... if I could have a chance to have that kind of world again... would I take the chance?"
Area: Scootaloo's dream
Year: 1805
Scootaloo was trotting through sadly familiar lands. Bright, happy Ponyville. Untouched by monsters and hate. She saw many ponies who were happier here. She'd grown used to her life. These had grown used to their's. She saw this dream version of herself, one who was more innocent than her. She saw the Apple Bloom who had more to show for herself than Scootaloo'd care to admit. And eventually... she saw that face again. That familiar but different face of Sweetie Belle.
No matter how hard Scootaloo wanted to ask her who she really was... her voice got lost. The same applied to the alicorn Sweetie Belle she was looking at. Both were at a lost of words to talk to the other. As if their stories were meant to be- "Mirrors of each other" The Sweetie Belle spoke suddenly. Her voice reminded Scootaloo too much of her opponent. "Mirrors of opposing sides," Scootaloo said. The two continued to stare at each other for moments on end.
The alicorn Sweetie Belle looked at Scootaloo with a new look in her eyes. "I know you may forget what I said here if we ever meet again in the years to come... but I'm Sweetie Void," Sweetie Void said as Scootaloo nodded her head, "... Scootaloo."
The two sat down and started talking up a storm about the other and, while reluntent, Scootaloo did share her story to the odd alicorn filly that was Sweetie Void. And while they might never meet again... Scootaloo at least got to know her.

The next day.
Scootaloo awoke and grabbed a pencil and her journal. In her journal she started doodling to appearence of her odd friend. She captured every detail as perfectly as possible. The details on the wings, her two-tone mane, her horn, even the blotch. Sadly she forgot some details along the way but she knew... in the distinct future, she'd have a friend to help her if needed.
Author's Note
Yep, now we're in the 1800s baby!
Sweetie Void made another easter egg appearence and sadly, Scoots won't remember much of her by the end of OoE. The dream was yet again in the future so it won't happen for a long while, maybe in 2037 or around that point. Not before though as both Aria and Dawn have to happen before then.
Any ideas for one more intermission chapter since this one was so short? I do think we could pay a visit to the Chaotic Realm(Where Death, Apple Bloom, Dracula, and Sweetie Belle are) and just watch as a new castle is made but let me know your ideas.
