Ghost

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

"A ghost haunts my dreams.
She wears the face of you.
It's been a long time.
Since I caught a view.

I almost forgot that little smile.
The little laugh.
The little eyes~
Oh how I miss you.

You were my sunshine, sunlight.
I remember your name everyday.
Because this girl wears the memories of you.

The same smile.
The same laugh.
Her eyes hold a sadness you were too lucky to hold.
A ghost, of a memory~

Oh my darling girl, how I miss you~"


Cadenza couldn't believe her eyes, as she walked into her house.

There was another pair of shoes at the door. A friend? Twilight doesn't often invite those. Moondancer was one that came over, and even then very rarely. The shoes were boots. Sour Sweet? She... Does seem to have a slight crush on Twilight.

She smiled, as she heard a game being played. She wonders how long they've been doing this. It's been a number of hours since Twilight had gone to the library, thanks to what Ruby Scroll said.


"God of War?" Sunset asked, as she looked at the game.
"Yeah. It's a ga-"
"I know what it is. I... I've played the PSP ones. And watched gameplay of the others. Never seen this one though..." She muttered, looking at the very nice cover, a older Kratos, and a kid holding a bow.
"Oh, you have? Better than me. This is the only one I got right now. Uh, other than Ragnarok." She said, with a small chuckle. "I was about to start a new game. You wanna watch, or play? I... Uh... Don't have many two player games... Or friends in general."

Sunset just smiled sadly at the girl. She's nice, and pretty. She shouldn't have to deal with that. She grinned, as the game booted up.
"Graphics are already so much better." Sunset whined.
"Heh. Emulator, or Crappy second hand?" She asked.
"Scatty second hand." Sunset sighed. "It's scuffed on the back, but still plays pretty well."

"Uh... Ok then?" Twilight just smiled as the game started up, on a new user. Showing the seamless transition into the game. And winced.

Sunset chose Give Me God of War. Shouldn't be that bad, right?

Right?


"TAKE THAT YOU IMMORTAL FU-!" And Twilight's getting into the game. A bit too much.
"Why was that so hard?" Another voice asked. She's never heard that voice before. Perhaps from the library, not school? That would be nice.
"Dunno. Maybe that, you dID GIVE ME GOD OF WAR FOR A FIRST PLAYTHROUGH!?" And that's the yelling. Alright then.

"Hello, yes hi. It's your mami. Twilight, I swear if you don't calm down, the neighbours will call the cops. Again." She said, rubbing her eyes as she stood in the doorway. "If your friend here chose the hardest mode, that was their choice. Now, it's ni-"

That Sunset. That's Sunset Shimmer. THAT'S FUCKING SUNSET SHIMMER!?

Oh, oh gods. Nope. Nope. Nope. No, it can't be. She's dead. She died. She was murdered. She's dead. Not... A ghost? Yeah. A ghost... Talking to her daughter. "Twilight. Over here now, please Hija." She ordered, her voice stiff, like her muscles.

Twilight looked scared, and glanced back at Su- The ghost. The fake. The not real girl. A... A doubleganger. Right. Those exist. "Who, are you." Mia asked, looking at it.

"Sunset Shimmer." It said, sounding scared. "Uh, wait... That hair... Cadence?" It asked, It's eyes widening in shock. "So, you're Cadence. Got it. Cool."
"Who. Are. You? The Truth. Now." She growled at it.
"Sun. Set. Shim. Mer." It gritted out. "You can ask Twilight over there. Cause it's true."

"Mami, it is. Really." She said, and handed her a book. "Look at who's writing in this. Now."

She opened the book. It was... Months ago. This handwriting was different. But... The other, was... She's seen it so much... "cómo..." She whispered. "cómo?" She asked again.
"Mirror Universe. We were talking about it earlier." She said, and motioned for... Sunset, to show her something.

It was a picture of Twilight, if she was a 90's kid. "And that girl is white." Twilight whispered. "So, can't exactly be me, right?"

"Oh." Cadence blushed. "I... I'm sorry, Sunset."
"It's cool. So, uh... Why?" She asked, confused... Does she not know? "Why didn't you think I was the Sunset from here?"

"Not my place to say." Cadenza muttered. "I'm really sorry. But, I don't feel right doing that." Not when... Not when Celestia needs to see her. Hold... Hug, Sunset one last time. "Sorry Sunset." She rubbed her hands together, while feeling like she did a whole lot wrong, in just a few seconds.

"It's fine. So, uh... Sorry for intruding. I better get going..." Sunset said, with awkward fingerguns, and went towards the door, before falling over, and a growl from her stomach. "... Ow." She heard hissed.

"Need some food?"
"I don't want to impose." Sunset said to Cadence's question. Twilight answered
"It would be no trouble!" She said, with a smile.

Cadence just nudged the teenager slightly, who blushed hard. "Little crush?" Cadence teased. Twilight didn't say anything, and helped Sunset up.
"Want some Pizza?" She asked.
"PLease." Sunset whispered. "Ow, that actually hurts." She hissed, rubbing her stomach.

While Sunset went to go sit down, Cadence looked at Twilight. "... You really like her, huh?"
"

Hey Auntie!
Ah, Cadence. What's wrong?
What makes you think somethings wrong?
... Dear, please. You're like Luna's Twin, when it comes to your tells. What, happened? did... Did they come back?
No! No! Uh... Someone else did...
Oh, who, Mia? Are they trouble.
... Your kid.
... Mia-
It's Sunset. She's back, and there's like this whole thing right now about a mirror world, a Twilley that's whit eof all things! She's got magic? And it currently eating a Pizza, and apparently doesn't know about you being her mamma.
... And here I thought only HE could cut off a text. I know.
I know this is a shoc WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU KNOW!?
I know. She's a student in my school. I enrolled her.
... I'll get Luna to hide the cake and donuts.
Jokes on you, she knew for two days before me. If anything, she earns the punishment.
... I hate you both right now. I... May have been a little rude.
It took all my will power and years of teaching, not to go crying and hug her. She... She grew up.
I know. By hell I know. Auntie? Does she know? Anything? Is she living with you?
No, she isn't... But how do I explain... Any of that? Really? That I gave birth to the other her? That she was... Killed, by that man. That it takes most my will to not just break down crying, and just try to mother her at a distance?
... I am Sorry, Tia. I'm really sorry.
Don't be. Make sure that she's eating, and that she's ok... Please?
Of course I will. Love you Tia.
Love you too kiddo.


"Hey." Fluttershy said, hugging Rainbow, before placing the bowls of Ice Cream down. "Where's Scoots?"
"Lying down. She did a lot today. And her leg was starting to hurt." Dash said, thanking her. "She's still awake, just not moving right now."

Phoebe just smiled at Reyna. "Hey, she's going to be ok. We'll be able to get everything sorted soon. As soon as they get into the country again, we'll have the papers. And probably be old enough." She promised the rainbow haired girl.

"I know but I'm just... Kid deserves better than this." Reyna said, and bounced her leg. "She deserves so much more, Flutters."
"I know. I know." She just smiled. "... Dashie, did you invite anyone?" She hissed, as she heard someone start to walk towards the door. Two people, actually.

"I'll get it. Stay with Sara, ok?" Dash hissed, and walked to the door. "Who is it?" She called to the door.
"Snap Shutter, and Mane Allgood." A woman's voice sounded. "Scootaloo's parents!"
Reyna hissed. "Yeah right. If that's true, we would have gotten a message. And two, Those aren't their real names, idiot!" She kicked the door open, smashing into one of the two that stood there.

She grabbed the baseball bat the other held, and slammed it into the side of the still standing ones head. The woman the door slammed into, was starting to get up. Dash kicked her quickly.

"Called the cops." Fluttershy said, with a harsh voice. "Stay. Down." She growled, holding a knife. "Here they are." She said. "Officers."

"Well, seems you have it handled. Who are they?" Officer Bishop asked.
"No clue." Rainbow shrugged. "Claimed to be Scoot's Parents. They are not." She just glared at the two. "Uh, are we in trouble?"

"Officer Nolan?" Bishop asked. "What is the procedure here?"
"Uh... They had the right to defend themselves, as they were likely about to try and take a kid... So, uh... Get their statement, and take the two offenders in?" Nolan seems confused.
"... To be honest I have no clue either." She shrugged. "But that sounds right." She admitted. "... We'll take the now."


Accessing Memory...
Phoebe Whispers <~~
Reyna Grace Amelia Bianca Prism <~~

"Just for tonight, ok?" The two women said, as Reyna and Phoebe sat down, and placed their bags onto the couch. "Little Sara's asleep right now, but while she doesn't talk, she's... Uh, very excitable... And, there was one more thing we may have left off th-"
"She's missing a leg." Reyna said, shrugged. "Not that different to a normal kid, just gotta keep a good eye on them, and make sure they don't hurt themselves."

"How did you..." Lofty asked.
"I help out around after school." Phoebe said, with a small smile. "Reyna sticks around so I don't get lonely."

"Ok..." Holiday shrugged. "Uh, well... Guess we'll be going then..." Reyna had to strain her ears as the door just about closed. "Christ they're a younger us..." And then the door shut.

Time to see Scoots! YAY!

Honestly, it was a fun night. Dash had a lot of fun. And it was just nice all in all. And, Uh...

Scootaloo was non-verbal, for most of the time the two had known her. A lot of the other kids didn't like to talk to her, but two did. Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom... Those names sound familiar? Eh, she'll ask around later.

So, when she started to try and talk to the two, both Reyna and Phoebe were shocked. It was just babbles, a bit more babyish than what other kids were doing. But, it was cute, and not many minded.

"Hey scoots. What's up?" Reyna asked gently.
"BWe... Mami! Ti- tired Mami." Scoots yawned.

"... Flutters!?" Reyna yelled, really worried. "HELP!?"
"Mami?" Scoots asked confused. "Mami angry?"

"Uh, no buddy. I'm ok... Just, needing Flutters, ok?" She said, smiling. "Hey buddy." She said, wiping away some of the tears. "I'm not mad. Just... Suprised, that's all. You don't talk a lot, you know?"

"Mhmhm." Sara nodded, and sniffed. "Mami ok?" Scoots asked.
"Yeah. I'm good. Don't worry kid. You want your leg on, or off?" She asked, holding it.
"On?" Scoots asked.
"Oh, you're wanting to know if we're going anywhere?" She asked, and Scoots nodded. "We're not sure yet. Maybe. Off for now?" Scoots nodded. "Want to be on the couch buddy?" Another nod.

Reyna picked her up, and walked to the couch. Phoebe looked at her confused. "Hey Flutters. We going anywhere?"
"No, what's up?" She asked worried. "You called out a few seconds ago."

"It's ok, Flutters." She smiled. "Just got surprised. That's all." She smiled softly. "¿Qué estabas pensando para cenar?" She asked.

"Chinese." She said, smiling. "Lemon Chicken, right?"
"Yeah. For all of us?" Reyna asked with a smile.
"Yesh!" Scootaloo cheered, happy.
"Oh! She's talking! Aww, this her first word?" Fluttershy said, sparkles in her eyes.

"Uh... I... It's not." Reyna said, face bright red. This confused Phoebe, as she didn't usually act like this. "It... Was Mami..." She said, rubbing her arm.
"Wait, is that true Sara?" Fluttershy asked.

"Yes Mommy!" Sara cheered. Phoebe blinked, with a red face, and looked at Reyna.
"Is that... Uh, did she..." She asked in a hushed tone.
"Yes. She did." Reyna said. "Buddy, why are you calling us that?" She asked softly.
"You Mommy and Mami!" She cheeered.

"... How about we eat, ok honey?" Fluttershy asked gently. "Lemon Chicken?" Sara nodded with happiness.
"Yay!"

Both just smiled, but with slight hesitance. It was concerning, but sweet.

A few hours later, and both Holiday and Lofty walked in, with big smiles on their faces. "We're home~!" Lofty sang. "Oh, is Sara in bed?"
"Uh... Um, well. Yes, she is." Fluttershy said, rubbing her arm. "But, there's... Well, it's a bit of a change, to wrap your head around."

"I'm sure it'll be fine!" Holiday said smiling pleasantly. "Can't be anything bad right?" She asked, and her smile dipped slightly, as the two remained silent. "What happened?"
"... Well, uh... Well. Dashie? Please tell her?" Fluttershy whimpered. She shuffled back, and despite her height, almost hid behind the smaller girl. "... I don't them to be mad at me."

"Uh, ok," Dash nodded as she looked around not meeting their eyes. "Sc- Sara called me Mami, and Phoebe mommy..." She said, and scratched the side of her face, while taking a small step backwards. The two adults stared at the two, before looking at each other.

"Do you mean..." Holiday asked. "She talked?" She was cut off by Lofty. "Like, really talked? She... She hasn't talked before!" Both looked really excited. "That's amazing!"
"Yeah, but..." Reyna was interupted.
"Oh! That's amazing. Really, it is!" Holiday said, with a giant smile. "Oh, she's talking!"

"Well, um... I'm not sure it's a good thing," Fluttershy meekly said. "She... She called me Mommy, and Dash, Mami." Fluttershy said, her voice slightly louder, almost a normal volume. "... I believe, there is something wrong with that image... Sorry." She said, turning red, and hiding behind Rainbow Dash again.

Both aunts looked at each other. This was going to be a long conversations, wasn't it?


Author's Note

Hope ya don't mind the Chat-Fic part. It's just to show the texting between two characters, not for the whole fic, not denoting when someone speaks. I know it's in the rules, to not have it. But, why can't I have it in small bursts?

Got Rickrolled by my teacher... That was weird.

Big thanks to Prism Shadow for proofreading this! Thanks buddy!
