The Daughter Of Chaos
Chapter 8: Solutions And Revolutions
Previous ChapterNext ChapterOk, I bet you have a few questions. First, I knew my mother was trying to help me. Second, I was an idiot for not listening to her, taking her advice, and seeing it for myself and yes, that dream multiplied my anxiety and fears, by quite a lot. I knew my mother meant well and I tried to consider her words, but I just couldn’t. I don’t know why, but once I woke up from that nightmare, it was like my progress had been reset. It was hard to remember a single word that she said to me and I felt like a horrible creature for doing that, even if I could rewind time just not to make that mistake again.
Regardless, I was fearing the worst today, I still had no information on the aftermath of what happened yesterday. “Were my friends going to be alright? Were my friends even going to see me as their friend? ” Those were the biggest questions on my mind and I knew that they were going to be answered, in the worst way I could imagine. The morning sun then came out from behind the green and light blue hills as I awoke from its bright light. As I was getting out of bed, Mom and Dad then came into my room out of nowhere.
“Morning sleepyhead, glad your feeling better. We have a big day today!” My Mother said in a very excited voice.
“Uh, what’s…what’s going on?” I said while rubbing my eyes, trying to wake myself up.
“Oh, don’t you remember? The school passed the fliers out like three times, it's Friends And Family Day today.” Dad said as I froze.
“Wait? That’s today?” I asked, very panicked by the thought.
“Yes, it is. Unless our little flower doesn’t want her parents or her caretakers to come and attend this amazing event?” Dad asked as he then made a tissue and started to blow his nose and wipe his tears.
“Well…no…but-” I said. “Great!” Dad said as he then snapped his fingers and all three of us were at the school before I had the chance to blink.
“Could you have waited until I got ready first?” I asked as Dad pointed to me.
Turns out he got me ready during his snap, my mane and tail were brushed, and my lunch and everything else were already in my bag. Just then, as I was looking around, other parents started to arrive with their kids as well, until some of my friend’s parents started to arrive. The first ones were Applejack and Rainbow Dash…but I didn’t see Pastel Or Zap.
“I was wondering when you three would show up,” Applejack said with a positive face.
“I swear, it’s been forever since we last attended one of these,” Rainbow said.
“Well, life does get busy, especially when the fillies arrive,” Dad said.
“I’m still not used to this Discord being so…nonchaotic,” Applejack said.
“I’m still chaotic, I just have a very kind child, life does that to you,” Dad said with a very clear voice.
“Freaky,” Rainbow said as the two’s attention then turned to me.
“So what’s been going on with you sugarcube?” Applejack asked me. I tried to think of an answer that didn’t involve…you know…and after a few seconds, I said it.
“Uh…just helping out at the sanctuary…yeah,” I said with the most fakest voice I could muster.
“Like a mother like a daughter,” Applejack said.
“She’s been wonderful with helping around the sanctuary. All of the animals also seem to like her too.” Mom said as she along with Aunt Applejack and Rainbow continued to talk for a little while. After some time, I saw the front doors to the school open, and Aunt Starlight came out with an announcement.
“Good morning every creature! Welcome to this year's Family and Friends Day! Parents and students, come inside for today’s agenda!” Aunt Starlight instructed as all of the parents and students, including me and my parents, came into the school’s front doors and we all stood at the front entrance which was covered in decorations for the event. There were balloons and streamers, and in the hallway, there were a few carnival games all around.
“As I was saying, for now, feel free to play a game, talk to one another, and just have fun. At around noon, we are having a special event right here at the front entrance that you won’t want to miss. For now, just have a good time!” Aunt Starlight said as every creature then went their ways, including me.
I tried to enjoy myself since none of my friends were on my radar yet. A few hours went by, I played Pin the Tail on the Donkey, tried a cheesy cheese sandwich, and all the other party things. From the looks of it, it seemed like Aunt Pinkie and Cheese Sandwich helped with this party just a little bit. However, no matter how much I wanted this break, this peace to last forever, it had to end eventually. As I was walking around, I thought I heard something odd, I turned around and didn’t see anything…but rather I accidentally bumped into some creature.
“Sorry, I wasn’t looking where…I…was going.” I said as the pony turned around…and it was some pony I knew.
“Rosie! I didn’t know you were coming!” Strawberry said in a lower, yet still excited voice.
“Oh…hey Strawberry.” I said as I noticed more of our friends as they too noticed my presence.
“Rosie, Strawberry, over here darlings!” I heard Sapphire’s voice say as it got closer and closer.
“Uh…I think I heard my parents call my name. Gottagorightnow!” I said so quickly that it was hard to hear myself as I sprinted away.
“Rosie! Where are you going?” Strawberry asked through the crowd as I ran and ran past the other parents and students.
After what I think was a minute of this, I turned a corner and entered the nearest door I saw. I went in and took a second to catch my breath as I looked around. I ended up in our school library where they had a few games and a table for school merchandise.
“Well, I suppose I could look for a new book now that I think about it.” I said to myself as I went into the rows of shelves, all filled to the brim with books.
After a few minutes of looking around, I ended up on the magic spells shelf, the shelf where all things magic-related were like spells, potions, techniques, and rare creature magic. As I was looking around at the books, I thought about the nightmare I encountered last night. It was only just a nightmare…but how did my Dad in my nightmare know of a way to turn me into a regular Earth Pony? Was that just something I thought of on the fly that didn’t exist? While these thoughts raced through my head, I ended up bumping into another shelf again, and a book came out. I picked it up to put the book back on the shelf when I looked at the book’s cover, and I was shocked.
“Transformation Potions For Fillies.” I read the title of the book. “Now this is a book I need to check out.” I said as a million thoughts entered my brain.
