Our Name Across The Multiverse: 10 years later

Spark- Few years after The Home That You Made

Spark was running late as she returned from the bakery, holding a box. She flew not too fast as she didn't want to ruin the cake inside. She soon landed on her apartment roof and hurried downstairs. She ran through the stairs and into the floor's hallway. She stopped at the door to her apartment and quickly unlocked the door. She was about to hurry in but stopped. She opened the box and checked on the cake.

"Oh, thank goodness." Spark sighed with relief, seeing that the birthday cake was okay. She closed the box and opened the door, but soon, she heard ice cream trucking music blasting from outside. This worried Spark, and she leaped back to dodge the door as it swung open.

"ICE CREAM TRUCK!" Dawn screamed with joy, followed by her jumping out of the window at the end of the hall.

Spark looked out and gave Dawn an upset look.

"We are going to be eating ice cream cake...I swear, she has a problem with ice cream to the point I think she might be an addict." Spark sighed, seeing her girlfriend, Dawn, already at the ice cream truck and talking to the guy. Spark turned and entered her apartment, seeing child anthro Twilight, the one she saved a few years ago, sitting at the table, fixing the napkins by folding them.

"Hi, sweet pea."

"Welcome home, mommy! I knew you would return for my birthday!"

Spark put the box down and hugged Twilight who ran up to her. "How are you today?"

"Great! My wish is coming true."

"Oh, and what is that?"

"For my mommy to be home today and spend my birthday with me!"

"Will it come true, honey, and happy birthday! Now, let's eat."

Twilight stopped her and pointed to the door, making Spark remember about Dawn.

"What about Dawn?"

Spark waved her hand, brushing Dawn off. "Oh, don't worry about her. The moment we slice the ice cream cake, she will be back up here in ten seconds flat." She stood up and closed the door.

The two sat at the table. Spark slowly revealed the ice cream cake, which was a green and purple dragon-shaped cake. Spark started to place the candles in the cake holder topper but stopped, seeing Twilight looking sad.

"What's wrong, sweet pea? Do you not like the cake?"

"No. I love it, mommy. I love all the cakes you buy for me. It's just that..." Twilight paused and looked at the table. "It's just that you made my birthday on the day you saved me. I remember all my friends. Dash..." she started to cry.

Spark placed the candles down and held her adopted daughter from another universe.

"I'm sorry, mommy..."

Spark petted her. "Don't be. What happened to you is hard to forget, but you must move on." Spark let her go and looked at her with a warm and motherly smile. "You need to move forward, sweetie. They would have wanted that for you. Even Dash, if she were here."

Twilight nodded, wiping her tears. "You're right, mommy."

"Of course I am. I'm always right, after all. My little bundle of hope!"

"Mommy!"

Spark laughed. She saw her daughter angrily crossing her arms and soon remembered something.

"Oh yeah, I got you a gift! Your birthday gift!" Spark stood up and was about to leave, but she felt someone stopping her. She looked back and saw Twilight crying as she held her tail.

"DON'T LEAVE ME!" cried Twilight as her trauma of losing everyone in her universe returned, and she didn't want Spark to be taken from her, too.

Spark felt sad but hugged Twilight and comforted her. "My little hope, I'm not leaving. I'm just getting your gift." she could see that didn't help. So, she said things that she knew her daughter needed to hear. "Listen to me. No matter what happens to me or Dawn, I know you'll be okay. You're my strong girl, after all. You're my little spark of hope. Remember that. You will always have us in your heart no matter where you go." she placed her finger on Twilight's chest, where her cutie mark was. "The spark that you carry burns so brighter than my own. Never lose it. And, please, don't cry. Don't let this day be a sad day. This is your special day."

Twilight nodded and let her mother go. Spark was going to leave but saw a shadowy figure in the front door glass window. She narrowed her eyes and told Twilight that she would be right back.

Spark walked up to the door and opened it who she saw confused her. She looked back at Twilight, who was putting the spoons in the correct order. Spark looked back at the figure and joined them in the hall. She closed the door.

A bright light came from the glass window, and soon, another light came. Then, the glass was covered in red.

"Mommy? Is everything okay?" Twilight asked, hearing the noise and getting up. She headed to the front and saw... "...m-mommy..." She could see a body sliding down the glass window, leaving behind a trail of blood. When the body landed on the ground, the door opened slightly, and she could see her mother, Spark, dying. A dark figure was hidden from a bright light, standing before Spark, holding the rainbow element core.

"MOMMY!?"

Spark's story will end here, but another will take her place, as her white spark of hope will burn brighter than the rainbow spark.

This will be continued in "Mine Name Across The Multiverse."
